Following.

Great Spirit.

Outside the mountain gate of Danding Sect, on the market.

"Iron Tree Heart! Fifty years of fine iron tree hearts! ”

"Reiki bag! Do you want the four spirit stones? ”

Su Xing mingled in the flow of people, constantly observing the vendors on both sides of the road.

10,000 years ago.

Since Emperor Haotian entered the Heavenly Court, the immortal realm has welcomed nearly 10,000 years of peace, and the battles between monks have also been greatly reduced.

And this Fang Market outside the Danding Sect is a product born under peace.

In this world, everyone has a short life, and the monks have tried all kinds of ways in order to survive and earn spirit stones to buy life-saving medicines.

The monks in the market sell almost everything.

Those who know how to alchemize, refine tools, and draw talismans will take some elixirs, magic weapons, or talismans to sell here.

Even a monk who doesn't know anything can rely on the 'Spiritual Qi Bag' to earn some spirit stones, which can be used to buy life pills to prolong life.

The so-called 'Reiki bag' refers to a treasure for monks to store Reiki and can be reused.

Normally.

When a monk is cultivating, he will store the spiritual energy absorbed from heaven and earth in the purple mansion of his body, and gradually increase his cultivation.

But that's just theory.

In fact, most low-level cultivators are not qualified to cultivate.

In order to earn more spirit stones, they would store the absorbed spiritual energy into the 'spiritual energy bag' for the cultivation needs of middle and high-level monks.

Making 'Reiki bags' doesn't make a fortune.

The spiritual energy accumulated by a low-level monk who practiced penance for several hours a day for a month was worth exchanging for five spirit stones.

After using these spirit stones to purchase the life-saving medicine, the monk could survive for another month while his cultivation was stagnant.

In this cycle, the low-level monks were able to survive, and the middle-level and high-level monks had a steady stream of 'aura bags' to use.

Until the children and grandchildren, there is no end.

Therefore, the low-level monks can only be at the bottom, and there is no possibility of crossing the hierarchy.

is like the original owner of Su Xing's body.

As a short-lived species with a lifespan of only 23 years, in order to prolong his life, the original owner will often store the spiritual energy he has absorbed into the 'spiritual energy bag' in exchange for spiritual stones.

It is also because of the production of the 'aura bag' that although the original owner is extremely diligent, his cultivation has always been in the third layer of qi training, and he cannot advance an inch.

Unlike the low-level monks.

The high-ranking monks have a lot of resources at their disposal.

Not only can they purchase life pills to prolong their lives, but even their descendants can easily improve their cultivation with the help of the 'Spiritual Qi Bag'.

Until the children and grandchildren, there is no end.

And Su Xing, as a traverser, didn't want to live so hard, and living like the original owner was in a mess, which was even more uncomfortable than killing him directly.

Therefore, Su Xing thought of some 'crooked and evil ways' to earn spirit stones.

For example, refining life-saving pills privately.

Su Xing came to Fang Market this time precisely to find a way to sell the four life pills he refined yesterday.

In Fang City, life medicine is relatively popular.

The life pill refined by Heavenly Court is not directly sold to the outside world, but will be distributed to the major sects in a fixed amount every month, and with this, they will control the immortal sects of the world.

The longevity medicine that the Immortal Sect receives every month will be given priority to the disciples in the sect.

Therefore, most monks who want to prolong their lives and want to live will choose to join the immortal sect and work for it all day long.

For example, Su Xing, who was tired and tired in the elixir garden before, just to get a few spirit stones.

Of course.

It's not that casual cultivation doesn't necessarily mean that you won't be able to get the life pill.

The elders and sect masters of the major immortal sects, in order to earn more spirit stones, often take the lifespan medicine out of the sect without permission and sell it in this market.

Corruption has existed since ancient times and cannot be eradicated.

Therefore, although the stealing of life pills is not advocated by Heaven and the immortal sects, it will not be suppressed too fiercely.

Therefore, as long as Su Xing sells life pills, he will keep a low profile, and he will not get into any trouble.

Fang market.

Su Xing walked around for a long time before he was attracted by a noise in the distance.

Following the noise, Su Xing saw that a loose cultivator selling 'Spiritual Fire Talismans' was surrounded by several disciples of the Yuan Fu Sect.

One of the disciples of the One-Yuan Fu Sect spoke up, "Which one asked you to sell the 'Spirit Fire Talisman' here?" ”

"What's wrong?"

That Sanxiu seemed to be coming to this city for the first time, and in the face of the interrogation of the disciples of the Yuan Fu Sect, he was a little overwhelmed.

The disciple of the Yuan Fu Sect frowned: "If you are not from our Yuan Fu Sect, you can't sell the 'Spirit Fire Fu' in this area, you don't know this rule?" ”

Boy!

Hearing this, Su Xing immediately understood what was going on:

The Yuan Fu Sect is a sect that is known for its depiction of talismans, and its main source of income is to sell talismans to other sects and loose cultivators.

In this way, the Yuan Fu Sect naturally did not want this loose cultivation and sold the 'Spiritual Fire Talisman' here.

According to Su Xing's previous life, this kind of behavior of crowding out all competitors is called 'monopoly'.

After understanding what had happened, Su Xing did not continue to stay.

You don't have to think about this to know that the scattered cultivation must not be able to fight an entire sect....

Alas, it's a pity.

The 'Spirit Fire Talisman' sold by this person is relatively cheap, at least much cheaper than the price of the Yuan Fu Sect.

Repeat dozens of steps.

Su Xing saw a monk who looked poor, so he leaned in: "Fellow Daoist, do you want a life pill?" Take it cheaply...."

The poor monk was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "How much do you sell?" ”

Su Xing thought for a while and quoted a price that was not too high, but not too low: "Five spirit stones." ”

"Do you want to sell for three?" The impoverished monks tried to bargain.

There are two main types of life pills sold in Fang City:

The first is sold by the elders of various sects, the quality is guaranteed, and there will be no fakes, so the price is generally 5-6 spirit stones.

The second is to sell it by casual practitioners.

Because of the status of casual cultivation, in order to ensure its authenticity, buyers often swallow the life pill on the spot, and do not dare to take it away.

Therefore, the price will generally be pressed to 4-5 spirit stones.

But no matter how much the price is lowered, the three spirit stones are indeed a little too low, and selling them at such a low price is easy to attract the attention of others.

Su Xing shook his head, ignoring the impoverished monk and turning to the other victims.

The bustle of the market is never endless.

Su Xing was watching here, and saw a monk with a 'Spirit Wind Talisman' on his chest, rampage through the crowd.

This man looked flustered, and kept shouting: "Is there anyone who sells life pills?" Which sells life pills? I'll produce six spirit stones! ”

This person is willing to use six spirit stones to buy a life pill.

From this, it is not difficult to see that his life should be running out, even to the point that he may die violently at any time.

The high price of six spirit stones made Su Xing quite excited.

He was about to step forward, but saw a monk rush over first: "Fellow Daoist, I just have a life pill here, do you want it?" ”

"I want it!"

When the monk with the 'Spirit Wind Talisman' saw the life pill, his eyes almost wanted to glow, and he actually snatched it directly.

However, the monks who sold the medicine were also on guard.

Seeing that the monk wanted to snatch it, the figure of the monk who sold medicine flashed, so he distanced himself from him, and said with a wary face: "Where is the spirit stone of the Taoist friend?" ”

"You give me the life medicine first, and I'll give you the spirit stone later!"

As they spoke, the Monk became more and more flustered, and once again pounced on the other party.

The medicine seller monk and the talisman monk are both Qi cultivation periods, and the gap between them is not very big.

After some entanglement, the Monk still didn't grab the 'Life Pill' in the other party's hand.

Finally.

The monk was in a complete hurry.

He knelt down directly at the medicine seller, and said very quickly: "Please save me, I will die if I don't take life pills, I beg you." ”

Seeing this, a trace of unbearability flashed in the eyes of the medicine seller, but in the end he refused: "I have a very sad life, I save you, so who will save me?" ”

With that, he ignored the other party and retreated into the crowd.

The other side.

Su Xing also had the intention of saving the other party, and by the way, he tried the effect of the life medicine in his hand.

But the other party made a fuss, and almost the entire Fang City attracted people to come.... In front of everyone's eyes, Su Xing was unwilling to expose himself.

After all, his life pill was privately refined, and he needed to be extremely careful when selling it.

Su Xing decided to continue looking for other targets.

In the midst of the crowd.

Not long after the medicine seller left, the monk rolled his eyes and fell directly to the ground, dying on the spot.

It seems that he died because he couldn't afford life-saving pills and ran out of life....

As soon as the monk died, the crowd of onlookers took a few steps back with great tacit understanding.

After a few seconds.

An unidentified creature in a translucent, blood-red state emerges from the chest of the deceased Talisman Monk.

This translucent, blood-red creature has only a humanoid silhouette and no facial features.

As soon as it appeared, it leaned its head towards the talisman monk.

This blood-red creature is known as the 'Shou Ghost'.

After Su Xing crossed over to this world, although he often heard people talk about the 'Shou Ghost', it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

Ground.

As soon as the head of the Shou Ghost approached the Sticker Monk, countless black mist slowly drilled out of the Sticker Monk's body.

These black mist turned into countless silk threads, and they continued to pour towards the Shou Ghost.

As time passed, the flesh and blood on the body of the monk began to shrink rapidly, as if it had been absorbed by the Shou Ghost.

And so it went on for a while.

It wasn't until the body of the monk who attached the talisman was left with only a thin human skin like a cicada's wings that the Shou Ghost gradually disappeared in place.

Su Xing, who watched this scene, was shocked.

On the other hand, most of the other monks around him had nonchalant expressions.

Obviously, it's not the first time these people have seen Shou Ghost ....

Everyone in this world has a lifespan.

And when the life span is exhausted, the deceased will give birth to a longevity ghost from his heart, taking his life, soul, flesh and blood....

Shou Oni cannot be touched.

Cannot be killed by any means.

Nor can they communicate with humans.

Where the longevity ghost was born, where it came from, and what kind of connection it has with the longevity of human beings, no one in the entire immortal cultivation world knows.

But what is well known is.

No matter how high the monk's cultivation is and how powerful his supernatural powers are, once his lifespan is exhausted, it is impossible for him to escape the killing of the Shou Ghost.
