Chapter 54: Liberating the Slaves

The situation of this "slave workshop" is basically the same as the first source of fighters in the Colosseum, in short, some sects, families, etc., who are unlucky for various reasons, and so on, after being uprooted by the enemy, some monks who are lucky enough to not die and who are not highly cultivated are sold for sale, and there are also individual monks who sell their resources into slavery for personal reasons, of course, there are very few of these people, and there are a few loose cultivators who have fallen into this field because they have offended people who cannot be provoked. The slaves in the "Slave Workshop" were all drawn out by the powerful monk and sealed in the soul card, and with this soul card, they could control their life and death, so that the slaves did not dare to resist. The shopkeeper foamed at the mouth, if it wasn't for the boss scolding him to greet other guests, I was afraid that he would talk for a long time.

Su Aotian ate a few bites casually, and hurriedly checked out and went downstairs. When I returned to the meditation room, I couldn't calm down for a while to cultivate. This method of extracting the soul was also mentioned in the "Soul Horror Technique", Su Aotian always felt that it was useless, so he didn't study it carefully, and he didn't want to use it like this, which surprised him very much. The fighters of the Colosseum had already had a great impact on him, but now when he saw these slaves in the slave workshop, he felt that their fate seemed to be even more tragic, everyone was a cultivator, why did they end up so miserable, and the hatred between people really needs to be so inextricably linked, and it is not too fast to be put to death, so he must be taught that life is better than death to be satisfied? Since he embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, the people and things he met seemed to instill in him "the law of the jungle In addition to changing his life against the sky, monks also have to compete with others, desperately plundering resources for their own use, and others taking possession of cultivation resources will reduce my chances, even the master said so. Except for one Moda, who only struggled to break through the foundation. Is it really not possible for monks to help each other?

Su Aotian thought about this problem for several days, and gradually the more he thought about it, the more he realized. Master said that cultivation is the cultivation of the mind, and what the mind thinks is the goal of cultivation, and no matter what you do, you should not go against your original intention, otherwise you are destined to fail to achieve the supreme path. I've killed a lot of people along the way, but it's not that I'm actively plundering other people's resources, it's that others can't tolerate me, and of course I can't stand still. My heart is not only to be good for myself, but also to help the world, my path is my own choice, no matter what others say, how to see, I will unswervingly go on.

After thinking about this, I only felt that my heart was clear, and there were no other distracting thoughts, and the troubles and doubts of these days were swept away. The divine consciousness became clearer and clearer, and it seemed that it had reached a new realm. At the moment, with this enlightenment, I was immersed in cultivation with all my heart.

I don't know how long it took, this mysterious and indescribable feeling gradually disappeared, Su Aotian woke up from his cultivation, and walked out of the inn without hesitation.

When he came to the shops in the center of the city, he went in and out, changing his identity from time to time. As his divine consciousness continued to improve, he found that even among the many monks, he could isolate their divine consciousness, and he changed his identity and appearance without moving, and they didn't know anything. Of course, the highest of the people around him is the cultivation in the later stage of foundation building, and it is difficult to say whether it will work in front of the monk Jiedan, in the final analysis, it is still the difference in cultivation, and the higher the cultivation, the stronger the ability to isolate the divine consciousness.

He exchanged a small part of the useless medicinal materials, blades, magic weapons and other things around him, he didn't dare to exchange too much at one time, so as not to attract the attention of people with a heart, and got more than five hundred medium-grade spirit stones, Su Aotian came to the slave workshop. When he first came here that day, he had already seen the situation of all the slaves, but when he came over this time, he checked and found that several faces were missing, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's still too late." ”

At the moment, according to the plan in mind, he began to negotiate the price with the monk who presided over the transaction. Slaves in the Qi refining period can generally be bought with ten medium-grade spirit stones, and monks in the foundation building period are expensive, generally seventy or eighty, and monks in the middle stage of foundation building are even more expensive. After some bargaining, he finally bought two mid-stage foundation building ones at the price of one hundred and fifty medium-grade spirit stones, twenty-two early-stage foundation building ones at the price of sixty medium-grade spirit stones, and sixty Qi refining stage cultivators, and spent two thousand two hundred and twenty medium-grade spirit stones at once. Seeing such a large number of customers, the whole slave shop was in a stir, and all the stalls came to sell their slaves to him. Su Aotian had already been optimistic, he bought all those slaves with sad and angry faces and unwilling hearts, and then some female cultivators and children, those slaves who were insensitive and depressed, he ignored them for the time being. With the purchased slaves and a large number of soul cards, Su Aotian quickly left Tianwu City with his group, and as soon as he left the city gate, he ordered everyone to carry those monks who could not fly, and quickly flew away from Tianwu City.

After releasing his divine sense to confirm that no one was following him, Su Aotian stopped in front of a mountain peak. Facing a group of slave monks who were a little confused, Su Aotian said, "You don't have to ask who I am, and I don't want to know who you are. I'm bringing you here today not to do anything, but to give you back your freedom. I know that you all have all kinds of worries in your hearts, and there are still unfulfilled wishes, and I will give you a chance to fulfill them today. However, before that, I hope that you can do your best to improve your cultivation, no matter what you do, you need to have enough strength to ensure that if your cultivation is advanced enough, you will not end up in today's field. Now, I'll give you back the soul card. With a wave of his hand, a large number of soul cards floated in the air, "Now, everyone should take their own soul cards." ”

All the monks were stunned on the spot, unable to believe their eyes and ears, and not a single one moved. Su Aotian didn't urge, and waited quietly with his hands in his hands. After a long time, someone finally reacted, and asked in disbelief: "You... What you said is true?" Su Aotian smiled and pointed to the soul card: "The soul card is there, you can leave with the soul card." Finally, a foundation building monk stepped forward, picked out his soul card, and after careful inspection, he didn't find anything wrong, turned his heart sideways, took back a trace of his soul, and integrated into the sea of knowledge, and after a while, he found that there was no abnormality, and he couldn't help shouting in surprise: "That's right, my soul is complete, and I don't feel like being controlled by people anymore!" cheered and jumped for a while, and suddenly walked to Su Aotian and knelt on his knees, and bowed heavily: "Thank you so much, the virtue of regeneration, no teeth to forget!" Please also ask Engong to give him a high surname, and the villain Zongmo will never forget!"

Seeing this, after a commotion, the other monks rushed forward to get their soul cards, and some of them were ecstatic when they got them, and some of them burst into tears. After a period of chaos, someone suddenly screamed, "That's my soul card! Give it back to me!" "And mine!" Three or four monks rushed towards one of them. The man sneered in his mouth: "Look for death!" The aura surged, and three or four water balls flew out, beating everyone who pounced out, and some people immediately spat blood from their mouths and fell to the ground. Everyone took a closer look, and the one who took someone else's soul card was one of the only two mid-foundation building monks present. Taking advantage of the chaos of the crowd, the monk put away all the remaining seven or eight soul cards.

These monks who were a little slower didn't expect that they had just come out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den, and they just wanted to step forward and fight hard, but when they saw the other party's cultivation, they couldn't help but stop, and a few people looked at Su Aotian with desperate eyes.

Su Aotian had expected this situation, and when he saw the situation in front of him, he sneered slightly, stepped forward, and said to the monk in the middle stage of foundation building: "Daoyou's hand, it's not honorable, I spent spirit stones to rescue you, but I didn't let you do this." ”

The monk smiled hideously and said, "I don't care what you want to do, since you don't want these soul cards, then I'll put them away, you're useless, I'm useful." Su Aotian said: "These Daoists don't want to hand over the soul card to you, so Daoists don't want to be strong." The monk said disdainfully: "Is it difficult for a strong man? Can this be their business? Tell you boy, for the sake of you returning my soul card, I will not embarrass you, obediently let me go, there is nothing to do with you here, if you annoy me, hum..."

Before Su Aotian could speak, another monk in the middle stage of foundation building said: "What do you want to do, I don't care about you, but if you want to be unfavorable to Engong, don't blame me for being rude!" After speaking, he turned his head and said to Su Aotian: "Engong can do this, it is enough to show benevolence and righteousness, this person's cultivation is still one line higher than mine, Engong, let's disperse with the others." Su Aotian waved his hand and said, "Daoist friend Gaoyi, it can be seen that people's hearts are still good, and I have not done this in vain." Daoist friends and step aside, I have my own measure, if I don't succeed, it's not too late to ask Daoist friends to help. After speaking, he took a step forward and said: "It's not too late for you to hand over the soul card now, I can still give you freedom without the blame for the past." ”

When the monk in the middle stage of foundation building heard this, he laughed: "I don't know what is dead or alive, and if you don't have the soul card, why don't you blame the past? It's ridiculous! Since you don't know what to do, don't blame me for being polite!" After saying that, he was ready to teach Su Aotian a lesson. Seeing this, another monk who was cultivating in the middle of foundation building wanted to make a move, but thinking of Su Aotian's words, he thought that this person was a little ignorant, and let him suffer some hardships and I will make another move, and it also seems that I helped him in danger and repaid the grace of saving him, so he didn't make a move.

How could Su Aotian put such a monk in the middle of foundation building in his eyes, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward calmly, without taking the other party in his eyes at all. Seeing this, the monk was furious in his heart, and said secretly: "Originally, I still remembered a little of your kindness and didn't intend to hurt you, since you are so ignorant of life and death, don't blame me for being ruthless." "As soon as the mind moves, the aura works, and the spell is cast.

At this moment, Su Aotian snorted coldly, and the "Shocking Thorn" was cast silently, how could the monk be able to prevent it, he suddenly screamed, holding his head with both hands, Su Aotian casually waved a palm, knocking the monk to the ground, rolling and wailing in pain.

This time the situation took a sharp turn, the monks who were originally worried about Su Aotian were all dumbfounded, and even more thought that it was not because this monk suddenly had an old illness and fell to the ground, and another monk who cultivated in the middle of foundation building was also dumbfounded, and couldn't say a word, originally thought that Su Aotian didn't know the height of the sky, it turned out that people's cultivation was actually unfathomable, and he didn't know how much better than himself, no wonder he looked like a light and breezy look, and he really had full confidence to clean up his opponent!

Looking at the opponent who was rolling around in pain on the ground, Su Aotian said coldly: "Now you should know what can be done and what cannot be done, right?" The monk just wailed on the ground, unable to say a word.

After a while, the monk's pain decreased slightly, and then he trembled and got up, stood in front of Su Aotian, lost all his arrogance, took out all the soul cards, and said in his mouth: "The villain is ignorant, offended the seniors, he really deserves to die, and I hope that the seniors will forgive the sins and give the villain a chance to reform himself." After saying this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Su Aotian waved his hand to stop him and said, "You get up." The monk did not dare to disobey, but stood up in fear. Su Aotian said: "I didn't want to spare you, but for the sake of you being a slave, I'll give you another chance." I hope you remember what you did today, and think about what you should do and what you shouldn't do in whatever you do in the future. The monk hurriedly agreed, "Thank you to the seniors for a lot, the villains will remember it in their hearts and never dare to forget it." Su Aotian saw that this person was arrogant and rampant when he gained power, grovelled when he lost power, and had a villainous face, he was very disappointed in this person, waved his hand and said, "Just remember." Let's go. The monk nodded and said, "Yes, yes, thank you, senior." He didn't dare to get up, bowed his body and withdrew for more than ten zhang, before he turned around and ran away quickly, before he flew up and disappeared in an instant.

Su Aotian turned around, scattered the soul card, and said, "If you haven't gotten the soul card yet, take it." More than a dozen monks were overjoyed and stepped forward to take away their soul cards. Su Aotian took out a large handful of spirit stones and said, "Two medium-grade spirit stones per person, selected according to each person's cultivation attributes, are the cultivation resources I gave you, let's disperse." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

The monks were in an uproar, and the monk in the middle of the foundation building hurriedly shouted, "Engong stays." Su Aotian turned around and asked, "What else is the matter?" The monk hurriedly said: "I am willing to follow Engong, and I hope that Engong will take it in, I will voluntarily present the soul card, and I will never regret it." After speaking, he raised the soul card above his head with both hands and bowed down to offer it. Some monks came to their senses and took out their soul cards one after another.

Su Aotian smiled slightly, and said: "If I take your soul card, what is the difference between it and those slave traders? I am too busy to take care of myself, and I really can't accommodate you and others, and according to me, you should still have unfulfilled wishes, so let's do what everyone should do." Remember to improve your cultivation. The monk in the middle stage of foundation building was unwilling, and said: "In this way, I hope that Engong will leave a high surname, and as long as the public recruitment does not die, he will follow after the revenge is avenged." Su Aotian said: "No need. My life is destined to be bumpy, and you follow me rather than a blessing. Seeing that he was not allowed, the public offering Xiu couldn't help but have tears in his eyes and fell to the ground: "Kindness and righteousness, although the public offering Xiu is broken, it is difficult to repay it." Since Engong saved me is equivalent to being in dire straits, he must have a deep meaning, and I hope that under Engong's publicity, the public offering will be done. Su Aotian pondered for a while and said, "I am very pleased that you have this heart. If you can help others when they are in trouble, and don't kill people and loot treasures for the sake of plundering other people's resources, you will not be in vain what I am doing today. After saying that, he didn't stop and flew away.

Gongzhu bowed to the ground for a long time, and when he saw that Su Aotian was no longer turning around, he stood up and said, "Engong commanded, two spirit stones per person, let's divide them." The monks hesitated for a while, and then they all stepped forward to choose according to their respective attributes, and those whose attributes did not match, they waited for others to finish picking, and then they stepped forward to take two each, and no one competed. Gongzhuo Xiu also said: "Today's words of kindness, everyone must do it in the future." If anyone violates it, I know it, and I will not spare it. Everyone said in unison: "Don't dare." Gongfeixiu waved his hand and said, "Let's disperse." If it's fate, see you in the future. When they left first, everyone sighed for a while, and then dispersed.

Su Aotian returned to Tianwu City, entered the quiet room, and silently pondered today's events for a while. Although among the slaves there are the villain deeds of the monks in the middle of the foundation building, and there are also people who know how to repay their kindness by raising public leave, no matter what, today's events have planted a seed of kindness to others in their hearts, and as for whether they can take root and sprout in the future and grow into a towering tree, there is no need to force it, the so-called "planning is in people, and things are in heaven". After doing this, I only feel that my body and mind are comfortable, and I act according to my heart, although the spirit stones on my body are almost gone, but the cultivation of the state of mind has gone up a few steps, which will be of great benefit to the future cultivation, and generally speaking, the gains outweigh the losses.

Thinking of the spirit stones, Su Aotian checked his own resources, and found that in addition to the high-grade spirit stones, there were only dozens of fire and earth-based medium-grade spirit stones left in his hands, which he had specially left for his future cultivation. After laughing at himself for a while, he devoted himself to cultivation.

In the next three years, Su Aotian sold his resources one after another in addition to fighting beasts and cultivating, and in the end, there were only five magic weapons left around him, including the "Water and Wood Double Treasure Gourd" and "Essence Gold Mithril Armor", two flying swords, and some refining materials, in addition to the Nine Dragons Spirit Saliva Pill, Yuqing Pill, Cutting Pulp Pill and so on, there was also a Yanqi Pill for emergencies, and the others were all replaced with spirit stones, and more than 12,000 medium-grade spirit stones were exchanged before and after.
