Yun Xuanyue's words made Elder Lan Ji frown vigorously.

"Things are not as simple as you think, although the most basic dark lines are all mortals, but they are also carefully selected, and the requirements are mortals with strong ability to control places, but they can't be fooled casually..."

"O Shade of the Moon, you must remember. Although mortals are as small as grassroots, their large numbers are difficult to control, and without these huge number of dark lines, many good seedlings of the people cannot be discovered. Let's just say that this Yongning Prefecture, in the past ten years, has provided nearly 1,000 potential seeds for the Creation Gate..."

"If we lose this constant supply of talent, then we are not far from extinction"

The master's words made Yun Shaoyue understand a little, but he still felt that it was too serious.

"That's... What does the master think should he do?"

Lan Ji sighed in her heart when she saw her apprentice's indifferent look.

"This time, I'm going to let you go down the mountain and go to Yongning Prefecture to take a look and check in person, no matter what the result is, we can't sit idly by..."

Yun Shayue didn't dare to disobey the master's order, but she really didn't have much interest in this matter, and a few mortals actually worked for the inner disciples to go out in person.

Isn't the master making a fuss?

In fact, Yun Shayue's mentality is not unusual, this is the common idea of all the inner disciples of the Creation Sect, and even most of the outer disciples.

Mortals, their short lives are only a few decades, and the Awakened have lived more than two hundred years old with the advancement of their cultivation.

Mortals live their lives in mediocrity, birth, growth, marriage, childbirth, old age, death, all of which are a spiral that repeats itself countless times.

They are greedy, short-sighted, and noisy for a little petty profit. How can this kind of group give birth to the Awakened?

There is even such a saying among the inner disciples.

"It is precisely because of the moral decline of the mortal world that the talents who can awaken are becoming thinner and thinner"

Although Yun Shayue didn't agree with this point of view, she also secretly recognized it, at least the moral degradation of mortals made her very much agree.

Yun Shayue resisted in her heart, but she didn't dare to disobey her master's order, so she simply packed up and went to Yongning Prefecture.

"When you get there, just go around with Leng Yue a few times, and you can deal with it..."

It seems that Yun Shuyue has already calculated it.

At the same time as the clouds covered the moon and set off, Liuhuo also secretly left Zhongzhou Mountain.

Probably affected by the last assassination, Liuhuo set off very secretively this time, except for Suzaku and Hou Wen, no one knew where he went.

Leaving Tiandu City and walking north, after passing the territory directly under the jurisdiction of Tiandu City, it is Yongning Prefecture. The closer he got to Yongning Prefecture, the heavier the fire became, and although he had heard about the famine in Yongning Prefecture in the chat of the maids, he never expected it to be so serious.

At the beginning, Liuhuo also saw many hungry people fleeing to the south, and these hungry people were considered fateful, and they still had the strength to flee to the south. More of them are starving, lifeless villages lying on the side of the road.

The larger towns are not bad, after all, with the government's relief, some people can barely be kept alive, but some remote villages are left unattended, and the people can only fend for themselves.

Fortunately, it is spring now, and there are some wild vegetables in the field, which makes those left-behind personnel who can't run still have a little way to live.

Liuhuo was very annoyed, regretting that he had brought too much money with him, and did not bring more food, and now even if the money was distributed to the victims, they would have nowhere to buy food.

Liuhuo casually found an official government in the county, donated a sum of gold as an unknown awakened person, and asked the government to quickly raise food, and with the thanks of the yellow-faced and thin-skinned official, Liuhuo walked out of the gate of the official mansion.

But as soon as he went out, he found that his horse was gone. The officials were furious, and even dared to steal the horses of the Awakened, which was worth it.

The soldiers made a great effort to search for the horse, but unfortunately in the end they only found a snow-white and clean horse bone.

Fortunately, the soldiers arrived in time, if they came a little later, it is estimated that even the bones would be smashed and eaten.

Enraged officials arrest a large number of horse thieves and let the flames go.

The fire did not punish the starving people, and the officials were ordered not to punish them. Because the numb gaze of those hungry people pierced the heart of the fire.

Liuhuo turned and left, and he quickly left the sad county town with his wind trick. At this time, he deeply felt his weakness, he was powerless to change all this, even if he took out the two treasury of gold left by his master, he couldn't save the people of this state.

At this moment, Liuhuo just wanted to escape, and he just wanted to leave Yongning Prefecture early.

It's a pity that it backfired, and the pace of the flowing fire was suddenly dragged by a familiar back.

Driftfire actually found an old acquaintance in a small town.

Cang'er in the Black Mine Cave.

At this time, Cang'er was wandering around the town, his eyes dripping and looking at the children kneeling in a row in front of him.

Those are the children whose parents are ready to sell.

The scene of selling children and daughters has been seen more than once. In the entire Yongning Prefecture, almost all towns have this kind of temporary formation of people market.

Young children, beautiful maidens, are the most common goods in the city. Many wealthy merchants from other places were willing to take advantage of natural disasters to choose some slaves to take home. Although this kind of trade makes Flowing Fire feel sick, Flowing Fire knows that he can't stop this, because this kind of transaction can at least save many lives.

Slaves were bought, and although they lost their freedom, they were at least able to survive, and they were able to survive the disaster.

This can be said to be the last way for the hungry people to live, and the fire has no right to deprive them of this way of life.

The flowing fire hid his figure in the corner, quietly observing the blue ear in front of him. Under the tearless investigation, Cang'er's combat effectiveness was quickly revealed, and it was 72.

Liuhuo was a little surprised, it turned out that Cang'er's strength was greater than me before, I was only 68 in combat power at that time, and he was already 72.

However, the current flowing fire is not afraid of him, because through refining without tears, his combat power has reached 115, second only to Hou Wen.

Cleaning up the ears in front of you, that's not easy.

However, Liuhuo has calmed down a lot, and he wants to take a closer look to see if Cang'er has any accomplices, and more importantly, to see what he is going to do.

Cang'er's purpose is very simple, that is, he wants to buy a few slaves.

Cang'er's position in the dark is very embarrassing, first of all, it is half of the apprentice of the ninth master, after all, it is entrusted by the ninth master's senior brother on his deathbed, according to the identity of the ninth master, Cang'er is definitely the leading figure, and everyone dare not disrespect him.

But Cang'er's strength is indeed the lowest among the dark ones, and he is the character who leads a group of swordsmen around all day long. What's more, outside the black mine cave, Cang'er was punched hard by Zhongli and hit a flower in the face. This made him a laughing stock among the dark ones.

An awakened person actually let a great sword master punch him.

The more Cang'er thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more faceless he became, and he always felt that everyone was laughing at him. In a fit of anger, he asked the ninth master for a lot of tasks to go out alone, and went out to wander around by himself, too lazy to think about those heart-wrenching things.

It can be said that during the time when he left the black mine cave, Cang'er spent most of his time wandering around in the Chu State. This time is no exception, asking the Ninth Master for a task to search for the awakening seedlings.

Now Cang'er is carefully observing these children in front of him. Didn't even realize that someone was spying on him.

It seems that there is no harvest today, and none of these children in front of me are good seedlings. Cang'er shook his head and turned around to leave, but the children quit, crying and lying on the ground and begging Cang'er to buy them, and a few bold people held Cang'er's legs and didn't let him go.

The children's crying made Cang'er frown, and he reluctantly took out a large handful of copper and silver coins from his arms and scattered them into the distance, shouting in his mouth.

"Let's go grab the money..."

When the children rushed over to collect the money, Cang'er turned around and ran, and soon fled the town.

As Cang'er was walking on the field path, thinking about his next goal as he walked forward, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Isn't this Cang'er?

Cang Er was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly looked back, just in time to see the flowing fire behind him.

The enemy's eyes were red when he saw him, and Cang'er looked at the flowing fire with a mocking face, and he was angry, and he thought to himself.

"Stinky boy, how did I meet you today. You actually saw that I didn't run, and you sent it to the door?"

"If it weren't for you, how could I have thrown such a big person into the Black Mine Cave, which makes people laugh at it so far..."

"Although the Ninth Master asked me not to provoke you, but today you provoked me first, so I can't be blamed..."

"I won't kill you, I'll beat you up and get out of my bad spirits..."

Cang Er was full of confidence in his heart, not only because he knew that there was no magic weapon for flowing fire. And Cang Er is still very confident in himself, because the Ninth Master saw him pitiful some time ago, and gave him a whole box of low-grade ores to refine magic weapons.

Now Cang'er's short wooden staff is not ordinary, the color has been upgraded from gray-white to emerald green, and a lesson to a flowing fire without a magic weapon is not a hand-to-hand capture.

"Stinky boy, where are you going to escape..."Cang'er screamed wildly, the short cane in his hand was full of green light, and dozens of ghost vines popped out of the ground and pumped towards the flowing fire.

Not only that, but the ghost vine actually produced bright flower bones, which bloomed in the wind, and a strong fragrance enveloped the flowing fire.

"Taste the power of my psychedelic ghost vine, haha..."

Cang'er couldn't stop laughing, watching the ghost vine tightly entangle the flowing fire. It seems that the psychedelic aroma is very useful, and the flowing fire actually does not resist at all.

However, Cang'er is a cautious person, and he summoned dozens of wooden thorns to float around the flowing fire, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Cang'er carefully looked at the flowing fire in front of him that was wrapped into a big dumpling, and thought to himself for a long time.

"Why hasn't this guy moved at all, it seems that the psychedelic flower poison has worked... No, you still have to be careful, this guy is good at crashing to death, last time he was lying on the ground and tricking me to pass, and then unleashed the Blade Storm..."

Cang'er waited for a long time, but the flowing fire still didn't move, so he relaxed a little, slowly approached the flowing fire, and kept muttering in his mouth.

"Give him a big mouth first, or do you beat him with a stick?"

"Tangled, tangled... It's hard to choose..."

"Why don't you give him all eighteen kinds of torture?"

"Hee-hee, I'll see it..."
