Chapter Eighty-Three: The Village
It's not that Yang Quan doesn't like spirit stones, he has to push them out, but he feels that he deserves it, if he can solve this problem himself, then he will definitely not hesitate to accept 10,000 spirit stones and do things.
He is not ruthless enough, he himself knows this, in his previous life, he was always mediocre because he was not ruthless enough, but he is such a person, what he doesn't like to do, he just doesn't like it, he won't do it, even if he suffers a little loss in the things he likes, he must do it.
Just like when he accepted Qin Xiaoxian as an apprentice, he was called an apprentice, in fact, he just gave himself a chance, and he left a method of making rune paper in batches, which was enough for Qin Xiaoxian to cultivate to the foundation building period, and after the foundation building period, it was up to Qin Xiaoxian himself.
"My character may not be suitable for the world of cultivating immortals..."
Yang Quan said to himself, whether it was the real world in his previous life or the world of cultivating immortals in this life, people with his personality didn't seem to have a very good life.
"Forget it, I just want to do things as I like, and in this world, I often wronged my body, and I can't have both fish and bear's paws..."Yang Quan comforted himself.
Three days later, Yang Quan rushed to the location of the Gu Feng Xiao tribe and activated the jade slip.
Not long after, a long howl came from below, and a bronze-skinned Han Imperial Sword flew out, and the breath on his body made Yang Quan slightly stunned, this guy has entered the late stage of foundation building!
"Hahaha! A few days ago, Gu invited Daoyou, but Daoyou refused to come, why did he take the initiative to visit today?" Gu Fengxiao asked with a laugh.
Yang Quan touched his nose a little embarrassed and said, "This..."
"Forget it, Daoyou also helped me a lot a few days ago, so I won't be a friend. Seeing Yang Quan's embarrassment, Gu Fengxiao smiled again and said, "This time, Gu invited Daoyou to sit down in my clan, Daoyou shouldn't refuse, right?"
The two of them descended to the light and came to the tribe where Gu Feng Xiao was, which was a small city that was beginning to take shape, and many people bent down to salute when they saw Gu Feng Xiao on the sword light.
Most of the buildings in the small city look very poor, but there is a large mansion carved in the center of the small city, Gu Fengxiao took Yang Quan into it, and saw many family members and maids along the way, and saw that the two of them all bowed down and saluted, calling them the immortal master.
The two entered a large hall, and Gu Fengxiao instructed the maid to prepare wine and food.
"Don't know your friend's name yet?" Gu Fengxiao said.
"Yang Quan. β
"Yang Daoyou is here for something, right?" Gu Fengxiao said with a smile.
Yang Quan nodded and said, "There is indeed something I want to ask Brother Dao for help." Here's the thing..."
Gu Fengxiao listened carefully to Yang Quan's narration and said, "That's it... The reward is really expensive, and the difficulty doesn't sound too high, a few days ago, Daoyou helped me capture the half-Jiao, so that I could smoothly enter the late stage of foundation building, which can be regarded as a personal favor, so I will accompany Daoyou on a trip, and it is indeed not good for demon beasts to control human tribes. β
Things went even more smoothly than expected, Yang Quan's face showed joy, but Gu Fengxiao continued: "But Yang Daoyou, that junior named Guan Feng, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, what you told you may not be true." β
"I also know this, so I feel that I can't cope with all kinds of accidents by myself, and I'm in Quanzhou, so I know your brother, so I have to be cheeky to invite. Yang Quan said.
"If you go with me, I think that no matter what happens, we will be able to deal with it. β
"Hmm. Gu Fengxiao nodded and asked, "Then when will we leave?"
"Naturally, the sooner the better, that demon beast is in my human tribe, and if you delay it for one more day, many people will die. Yang Quan said.
"Hehehe... Yang Daoyou has a good heart, in this Quanzhou realm, all immortal cultivators regard this mortal as a crop, when necessary, they will sow seeds and let them multiply, and then work for themselves, if they don't need it, they will turn around and throw mortals to those demon beasts as blood food, which is also a common thing. Gu Fengxiao said with a smile.
Yang Quan frowned, what did Gu Fengxiao mean by this? He really didn't understand it too much.
"Do you think so too?"
"Hehe..."Gu Fengxiao put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I am also an outlier among the guardian immortal masters of these surrounding tribes. I have a different opinion from them, those mortals are certainly like ants and mustards, but we, the immortal cultivators, have not come out of them. β
When Yang Quan heard these words, he really felt a sense of awe, Yang Quan looked at mortals levelly, it was because he was in such a world in his previous life, and everyone in that world thought so. But in this world of cultivating immortals, this Gu Feng Xiao had such an idea, which really made Yang Quan feel impressed.
"Brother Gu's opinion really makes me admire. Yang Quan said sincerely: "Then let's go." β
Gu Fengxiao shook his head with a smile when he heard this, and when Yang Quan was puzzled, he said: "You are too anxious, at least give me half an hour, bring the magic weapon with you, and explain the affairs of the territory." β
...
Half an hour later, Yang Quan and Gu Fengxiao set up a retreat and went straight to Tianguang City.
A few days later, when he arrived in Tianguang City, Gu Fengxiao personally asked Guan Feng again, so he was relieved to go to Guan Feng's clan together.
The Guan clan has not been very stable for several years, since the death of the previous generation of guardian immortal masters, the two young immortal masters invited an immortal master to sit temporarily, and the days of panic in the tribe seem to be over, but half a year ago, the immortal master who sat in the town suddenly became seriously ill, and the immortal master's mansion has since then, every day in the surrounding villages, some people will be selected to take away, and those who were taken away, without exception, have never appeared again.
At the beginning, those who were selected thought that they were taken by the immortal masters of the Immortal Master's Mansion and took them to learn to cultivate immortals, but as time went by, people were taken away every day, and then they never appeared, and everyone realized that something was wrong.
Now, everyone is panicking, for fear that one day they will also be picked away, and many people look at the City Lord's Mansion from the previous respect, to fear and even hatred...
A small village on the edge of the Guan tribe, this village is not big, there are only one or two hundred families, and the life is also very poor, at this time, these hundreds of people watched a flying boat fall in the sky, and their eyes all showed a look of fear and timidity, they knew that the Immortal Master Mansion was going to take people away from their village again.
"Immortal Envoyβ" A gray-haired old man stepped forward.
"Thirty, choose yourselves. "There are more than ten people on the flying boat, and they are all from the Immortal Master's Mansion.
If in the past, when the people from the Immortal Master's Mansion arrived, the people in the village would have cheered as if they were treating their most beloved people, but now, everyone had a mixture of anger but powerlessness.
"Lord Immortal Envoy, please forgive the old man for being rude, can I ask the Immortal Master what he is doing? In the past six months, it is the seventh time that he has come to our village to ask for someone, but none of the people who have been there a few times have been able to come back, and the old man wants to ask..."The white-haired old man asked in a sad voice.
But he was interrupted by the leading immortal envoy, and he said coldly: "How can you ask about the affairs of the immortal master? Don't talk so much nonsense, if you don't choose yourself, we will arrest it immediately." β
The white-haired old man's chest rose and fell, and he pointed at the leading immortal envoy with a trembling hand, and said, "You... You guys... Let's choose for ourselves, hahahaha, choose for ourselves, and I'll choose me. The old man's face was full of grief, sadness, and helplessness.
Several old men walked out of the village one after another, standing next to the white-haired old man in front of them, they didn't say a word, they just looked at the immortal envoy and his party with the same gaze.
"I've said it many times, you're too old for Immortal Master to need. The immortal envoy who took the lead still said with a cold face: "Give you a stick of incense time, don't choose it yourself, we'll do it ourselves." β
A young man in the village couldn't hold back any longer, stood up and pointed at the immortal master and his party, and said, "Guan Yong! you're going too far, do you think we don't know what it is that you picked those people to go? You don't want to die!"
"It's still about flying, you also walked out of this village, and now you don't even dare to say a word..."
Among the immortal envoys, one of them lowered his head and hid his face, turned his head slightly, but still didn't say a word.
Guan Yong, the immortal envoy who led the team, flashed a trace of fierceness in his eyes, and said, "Since you don't cherish the opportunity for you, then don't blame me!" A small fireball appeared on his fingertips, and then bounced at the young man.
In the extremely miserable roar of the young man, his body was set on fire, and after only a few breaths, there was no more movement, and the flesh and blood on his body were burned dry, and then even the bones were burned into ashes...
...
"There's movement over there, and it looks like someone is using a spell. β
The three people who were secretly approaching the Guan tribe and were about to inquire about the current situation of the tribe suddenly discovered the mana fluctuations of a small village not far away.
"Go check it out. β
The three of them glanced at each other, and they all hid their breath and walked towards the small village.
