Practice begins with a fisherman

Chapter 169 The Chaotic Shuixi Town

"For 1000 or [-] low-grade spirit stones, you want to drive a Qi-refining ninth-level monk to work hard. Is it so unreasonable to get one's life so low?" Zhao Shoushou's anger in the cave man's heart still hadn't calmed down.

Without sufficient interests, he has no interest in meddling in the affairs of the Cultivation Clan here, especially in the current situation where a fire is imminent.

Once participating in it, there is a high probability that you will be besieged by more than two late-stage Qi refining monks. The danger in this predictable fierce battle is very high.

From a certain point of view, the battle between monks with similar cultivation levels is even more dangerous than the battle with monsters and ghosts. From the bottom of his heart, he is unwilling to participate in it.

"Poor people must have something to hate. These helpless rogue cultivators are usually lonely and impoverished. Once they encounter an opportunity, they will be a lion. If the family really has a treasure that helps build the foundation, why bother?" ?" Cheng Mouhua didn't have a good solution to the current situation.

In the huge Shuixi Town, most of the monks are intentional, including most of the casual cultivators, and the remaining part of the monks who have no intentions are low-level and spend a little money to attract them.

That's why the Cheng family spent a lot of money to recruit them. It can be said that in his plan, the role of a late-stage Qi refining monk who joins is related to whether the family can successfully pass on.

After this confident solicitation failed, the Cheng family faced an unprecedented crisis, and Cheng Mouhua had to find another way.

After the exchange between Zhao Shoushou and Cheng Mouhua was over, the other three family patriarchs were conspiring in a secret room, and their target was naturally the Cheng family.

Of the remaining Man, Xiao, and Chen families in Shuixi Town, the most powerful is naturally the Chen family with three late-stage Qi refining monks. It is no surprise that this small-scale meeting was also hosted by the Chen family.

Chen Baiming, the Patriarch of the Chen Family, is a monk on the tenth floor of Qi Refining, who is over 60 years old. A monk who has been immersed in the tenth floor of Qi Refining for more than ten years, although he has lost the qualification to build a foundation, he is extremely powerful in combat during the Qi Refining Stage a batch.

"Both of you are juniors of Mr. Chen, so Mr. Chen will not be polite, how about announcing the plan directly? If there is any objection, we will discuss it at that time." Chen Baiming said very calmly.

"Senior Chen is rich in experience and powerful in combat. He is the mainstay of the three major families. Just give me your orders, and I will carry them out."

"Senior, please order directly." Xiao Mingzhan, the patriarch of the Xiao family, even though he has a hundred dissatisfaction in his heart, there is only one way to obey in the face of absolute strength crushing.

"According to insider reports, the old guy Cheng Mouhua's plan to recruit casual practitioners in the late stage of Qi training has failed. I will just follow the plan. The treasures accumulated by the Cheng family's occupation of Shuixi Town for many years are naturally extremely rich. If we can Success is of course extremely important to the help of our three families, but please don't be merciful, the consequences of killing a snake must be clear to the two of you," Chen Baiming instructed tirelessly.

In fact, his worry was quite necessary. In order to ensure the purity of the blood, the four cultivating families in Shuixi Town had been intermarrying with each other. It was inevitable that someone secretly tipped off the news.

"The Cheng family is domineering on weekdays, and 30 years ago, it repeatedly used secret hands to kill the two elders of my Man family. If you don't take this revenge, you will not be a human being."

"The Xiao family's [-]-acre spiritual land has been continuously invaded, resulting in insufficient supply of spiritual rice for the younger generation of the family. How can the patriarch Xiao watch it continue to deteriorate?"

The two family patriarchs, Man and Xiao, successively stated that it means that Shuixi Town, which has been peaceful for a long time, will also fall into a new bloody storm.

In the next few days, the entire Shuixi Town was in an inexplicable tense atmosphere. Every monk came and went in a hurry, and the signs of a big war were already very obvious.

Some casual cultivators who originally lived here had left one after another for fear of getting into trouble, but Zhao Shoushou, who was always afraid of trouble and unwilling to participate in it, never left.

The cave he rented was the same as usual, and all the security formations were fully activated, as if he had been in deep cultivation, as if he hadn't noticed the changes in the outside world.

If a monk enters the cave, he can clearly find that the situation inside is quite different, and his cultivation has ended two days ago.

With the help of ten first-grade high-grade qi invigorating pills, Zhao Shoushou's cultivation has improved significantly, and he has passed half of the ninth level of qi training.

"The mantis catching the cicada and the oriole are behind, and the battle of the four cultivating families of Man, Xiao, Chen, and Cheng will come to fish in troubled waters, and no one will pay attention to it." In fact, this is the true thought in his heart.

Even if the three cultivating families in Shuixi Town can win together, they will definitely pay a high price. How can the Cheng family run this place for hundreds of years without a killer move?

When the two sides were inextricably fighting, Zhao Shoushou quietly slipped away to choose a suitable opportunity, stealing some treasures should not be too dangerous.

And his goal is not the Cheng family whose building is about to collapse, but the residences of the Man, Xiao, and Chen families who are pouring out. Only by doing the opposite will the most gains be made.

However, the specific goal needs to be observed one by one and judged according to the actual situation before making a final decision. As for the mountain protection formation of the three families, it relies on a first-order middle-grade formation that was prepared a long time ago but has never had a chance to be used. beads.

It is naturally impossible to break the mountain protection formation with only one array breaking bead, but it is no problem to open a small gap.

As for the first choice of the goal of this adventure is still the treasures that help build the foundation. If you don’t find some other kinds of treasures to enrich the dry storage bag, it is also good.

How can there be no various precious resources to help you on the road of practice?After this trip, Zhao Shoushou was going to buy enough treasures and search for a place of spiritual veins to make final preparations.

If everything goes well, maybe the foundation will be established within three to two years. Of course, Zhao Shoushou dare not make a judgment lightly on whether it will succeed in the end, but he will do his best to win all the opportunities.

Three days later, the three cultivation families Man, Xiao, and Chen gathered all their forces, and under the leadership of their respective patriarchs according to their respective divisions of labor, raided the spiritual fields and elixir gardens opened by the Cheng family outside the Lingshan Mountain.

Fortunately, Cheng Mouhua had already withdrawn all the garrison monks, except for the loss of some spiritual rice and elixir, it was basically harmless.

However, when the three families appeared outside Cheng's Manor with open swords and spears, all the monks understood that the imminent war was inevitable.

"The four major families guard Shuixi Town together. This is the oath made by the four ancestors. Are you really going to die today?" Nei asked sharply.

Chapter 170 The Weak Man Family

"For nearly a hundred years, the Cheng family has betrayed their promises and deceived and harmed me. What face do they have to ask here today? Even if Man falls here today, he will be buried with you." Two completely different looks.

"In the past, relying on the strength of the strong, the Cheng family acted recklessly and forcibly married several female cultivators with excellent qualifications from my Xiao family. The blood debts must be repaid with blood." Facing the powerful enemy Xiao Mingzhan, he also stared wide-eyed. round.

"The Cheng family was originally a foreign monk, and our ancestors sincerely accepted and left the legacy together in Shuixi Town. Who would have thought that it would be a wolf's ambition after all. Today, Chen Baiming will eliminate harm for the people and use your blood to sacrifice to the monk who died in vain." Chen Baiming rushed to the crown Canthus gnashed his teeth in hatred.

From the hoarse roars of the three patriarchs Man, Xiao, and Chen, it can be clearly judged that the Cheng family has done a lot of evil and oppressed goodness these years.

But so what?Everything in the realm of comprehension is nothing more than strength being the king. If it weren't for the inexplicable decline of the Cheng family, how could they have fallen to this point.

In fact, the seemingly upright excuse of these monks is just to wear a beautiful colorful hat in order to compete for various cultivation resources.

The battle was about to break out, but none of the monks present noticed that a monk in the late stage of Qi training not far away had left contentedly. This person was Zhao Shoushou who was trying to fish in troubled waters.

"The three families are willing to go out except for some old, weak, sick and disabled. Today is just a lesson for you. Who made us a kind monk?" Zhao Shoushou proudly walked in the opposite direction.

Through these two days of secret observation, his target has basically been determined, and it is the Man family, the weakest of the four cultivating families in Shuixi Town.

Regardless of the others, regardless of whether it is possible to make a judgment based on the mountain protection array alone, only Man's mountain protection array, including Cheng's, is a first-tier mid-tier.

Zhao Shoushou's first-tier middle-grade formation-breaking orb in Zhao Shoushou's hand could only open a gap in Man's mountain protection formation, which was also the prerequisite for this operation.

Otherwise, even if he has all kinds of skills, he can only sigh in front of the mountain protection formation. He never thinks that being alone can break the lake and mountain formation carefully arranged by a family.

During the half a year in Shuixi Town, in addition to retreating and practicing, Zhao Shoushou also had a relatively in-depth understanding of this place, and the focus was naturally on the four cultivating families who controlled this place.

At present, the Man family seems to be the most inconspicuous and weakest, and it is also the one with the longest inheritance here. When it was the most glorious time, there used to be monks in the foundation establishment period. Of course, this is the old calendar hundreds of years ago.

He has always believed in the saying "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse". The Man family is also the family most likely to have the elixir that is helpful for foundation establishment. This is also an important reason why he targets the Man family.

After a stick of incense, a spiritual mountain about [-] feet high appeared in front of my eyes. The most eye-catching thing was naturally the open up blocks of spiritual fields. Perhaps because of the fact that almost all the nests came out, this spiritual mountain where people come and go on weekdays , There was a silence.

However, a khaki mask on the Lingshan Mountain seems to indicate some special meaning. This is the first-order middle-grade earth and stone formation that the Man family's mountain protection formation is good at defending.

This formation relies on the dual power of spiritual veins and earth veins for defense. Once it is attacked outside, it will form special walls like a maze.

These walls are all formed under the double infusion of spiritual power and earth vein power, and each one is extremely strong, even if it is a monk in the late stage of Qi training, it is not easy to break.

This is a tortoise formation formed entirely by the power of earth and rocks. In terms of defense alone, it is comparable to some first-tier formations. This is also the greatest pride of the Man family.

"The first-tier middle-grade earth and stone formation is not bad, but unfortunately, this formation-breaking orb is best at dealing with defensive formations that only take hits and don't fight back. I hope this trip will not disappoint someone. "Choosing a remote corner, Zhao Shoushou sacrificed the first-order middle-grade array-breaking bead in his hand.

The Array Breaking Orb uses a special power to temporarily block the effects of the power of the spirit veins and the power of the earth veins, forming a period of power isolation. He also took this opportunity to open a gap and enter it.

This kind of fleeting way is not obvious for the destruction of the large formation. If one wants to cause fatal damage to the first-order middle-grade earth and stone formation, a first-order middle-grade formation-breaking bead is obviously far from enough.

However, it was enough for Zhao Shoushou, who only wanted to fish in troubled waters and become a robber once. With the development of the effect of the formation-breaking beads, the first-order high-grade bronze daggers passed by the original hard mask, one about two feet high, A passage about two feet wide that can accommodate one person in and out has appeared in front of you.

"How come the Man family's trip is going to bring back treasures worth at least the value of the formation-breaking beads. I wonder what Zhao's luck is?" Zhao Shoushou had a comfortable smile on his face after entering the formation so easily.

He was very fascinated by the feeling that everyone was drunk and the only one was awake, as if all changes were in his hands, but he soon sobered up after observing the surrounding environment.

The Lingshan of the Man family covers a vast area, occupying a first-tier mid-level Lingshan with abundant spiritual power, and because the Man family has few people, the development of the entire Lingshan is very limited. Only the core part is used to open up spiritual fields and elixir gardens, and the rest Some are in the wild.

The place where Zhao Shoushou appeared was in a woods whose spiritual power had never been lower than that of the first-order low-rank. As far as the eye could see, there were all kinds of almost completely different kinds of miscellaneous trees and dead grass that reached the knees, and there was not even a single tree around. A passing cultivator looked extremely desolate.

"It's a pity that a spiritual mountain that has almost reached the peak of the first-order middle-grade spirit veins has been abandoned. If the land is carefully managed, it can be developed into a qualified first-order low-grade spiritual field," Zhao Shoushou said very regretfully.

As a casual cultivator from Xianzhou, he is obviously dissatisfied with this extensive management method of Lingshan. In his opinion, as long as he manages it seriously, this Lingshan is the real cornucopia.

However, as a thief, this first-tier middle-grade spirit mountain obviously cannot be his target. He can only find some spiritual materials, spirit stones and other cultivation resources as soon as possible.

"You have wasted the resources of a great spiritual mountain here, so you don't have to feel guilty about this trip, let's go to their elixir garden first." Zhao Shoushou was already heading towards the top of the mountain before he finished speaking.

The Spiritual Medicine Garden is a place that any family must devote all of its efforts to, and it is also the best reflection of the strength of a cultivating family, and the Man family is no exception.

However, it is uncertain whether there will be any gains here. After all, as the family's key business place, there must be layers of defense.

The other key points are the refining hall, alchemy hall, classics storage room, talisman seal production room, and even the treasure house for storing some spiritual materials, spiritual stones and other treasures needed for family management.

Chapter 171 Blood Stained Man's Spirit Mountain

According to his speculation, even though the main force is almost all under the leadership of the patriarch of the Manshi family, these important places related to the future development of the family must be guarded by someone.

Limited by the relatively weak strength of his family, the monks responsible for guarding would not be too strong, and it would not be too difficult for the monks in the late stage of Qi refining.

In fact, this is also the other most important reason why he chose the Man family. There will not be too much danger here, and even if there is no harvest, he can guarantee to retreat unscathed.

As for the method of leaving the first-order middle-grade earth and stone formation, it is quite simple. All the formations have always focused on external defense, while internally they are quite relaxed. They can either slip away quietly or leave openly.

"Brother, it must be the old uncle who is in charge of guarding the formation. Where are the traces of monks coming in in this remote place?" A short and stocky monk vented his dissatisfaction.

"The most powerful monks in the clan have already followed the patriarch, the old man, to the Cheng family. The monks who stay behind are weak, and it is normal for the clan uncle to be more cautious." Another monk who was in the middle of Qi refining accompanied him to comfort him.

"Even if a monk can sneak in quietly and without damage to the formation, it's not something you and I can deal with." The short and stocky monk of the Man family obviously had a clear understanding of his own strength.

However, the two were quite lucky, because their target had appeared on a road not too far from the top of the mountain at this time, and they were further observing the situation of the left-behind monks of the Man family.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I don't know if the head of the Man family patriarch was squeezed by the door. Only four monks passed by within a quarter of an hour on a main passage, and all of them were at the early stage of Qi refining," Zhao Shoushou said with a sigh.

He really couldn't understand the deep hatred between the two families?He even desperately organizes all forces to take revenge, especially when the chaos has not been completely eliminated.

In case a wave of monsters from the devil world came to attack from an unknown location, the weak remaining monks of the Man family would obviously be unable to resist.

But for him now, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. At the very least, he can easily walk along the passage to the elixir garden, and gain a deeper understanding of Man's Spirit Mountain along the way.

Of course, if he encounters some more valuable places on the road, he doesn't mind looting first to fill up the long-dried storage bag.

Every important place must be defended by monks. Zhao Shoushou's attempt to snatch the treasures of the Man family was naturally a fierce battle, but the enemy he faced in the end was relatively weak.

Once encountering resistance and fierce battles, monks will inevitably fall. His act of stealing treasures this time must also be a bloodbath. I don’t know how many monks will fall in his pair of first-grade high-grade water. Under Yin Jian.

"Where does the monk have the old uncle's warrant? Moving forward in the elixir garden is regarded as a provocation to the family rules, don't blame the subordinates for being merciless." Soon a elixir garden with special light and strong spiritual power appeared not far from him In the distance, but when the distance was still thirty or fifty feet away, a childish voice asked.

There is still a considerable distance from this place to the top of the mountain. According to the location, this elixir garden should not belong to the core location.

"Could it be that this is an elixir garden opened by monks from the Man family who are good at cultivating elixir?" Although he was a little puzzled, since a treasure appeared, Zhao Shoushou would not let it go easily.

After all, compared to treasures such as spirit materials, spirit stones, talismans, etc., his favorite is still all kinds of panacea and panacea. When he saw this small panacea garden, his eyes were full of greed. shine.

As for the small defense mask outside the Spiritual Medicine Garden, its main function is only to warn and prevent the leakage of spiritual power. After all, this place is deep above the spiritual mountain, and there will be no problems in terms of safety.

"Heaven won't take it, but he will be blamed. How can God let it go when he gave it to someone? Bronze sword, let's go!" Hearing a loud shout, he waved his hands, and the flickering bronze sword attacked like a shooting star from outside the sky. .

The first-tier top-grade Water Chanting Sword is also ready to move, as long as the former breaks the formation, it will immediately attack and kill the garrison monks.

"Chi La" everything was expected, the formation mainly used for early warning and spiritual power protection was like an old piece of paper, and it had no resistance against the first-order top-grade bronze spear. As for the garrison monks, they were just a He was just a young man who had just been promoted to the middle stage of Qi refining. After a huge head flew into the sky, he still stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"The elixir garden is well managed. Every elixir is carefully cultivated, but unfortunately the grade is a bit low." Zhao Shoushou stepped into the elixir garden with ease, giving instructions.

This elixir garden is dominated by low-grade first-grade elixir, and only in the core position with abundant spiritual power are there three or five plants of not-so-precious first-grade mid-grade elixir.

Half an hour later, Zhao Shoushou picked all the mature elixir and went to the next target, but at this time, he had obviously attracted the attention of the monks stationed at Man's Lingshan.

"Where did the daring Yexiu come from, who dared to kill on the Lingshan of the Man family? It's really unreasonable."

"Blood debt must be paid with blood, the dignity of the Man family cannot be trampled on"

"The patriarch of the Man family is leading the main force and is about to return. If you are sensible, don't retreat quickly."

Soon on his way forward, there were about a dozen remaining monks of the Man family, each of them screamed hoarsely, wishing to eat his flesh and drink his blood, but everything was just an external performance, and none of the monks dared to make a move.

Even whenever Zhao Shoushou took a step forward, they would also choose to take a step back. How could he retreat when he saw such a situation?

"It's just a group of chickens and dogs. No wonder the Man family is declining day by day. There is not a single monk who stays behind who dares to attack someone. He has no blood at all. How can he move forward on the road of cultivation?" Zhao Shoushou sneered from the heart, Resolutely took the lead in taking the first-rank high-grade Shuiyin sword and killed it straight into the retreating crowd.

"It's just a casual cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining, what's there to be afraid of? Today is just a death." There was only a roar, and a gray-haired monk at the fifth level of Qi refining stepped forward to fight.

His resistance was obviously ineffective, and his fate was doomed to become a dead soul under the knife. Not only did the bloody reality not arouse the enthusiasm of other monks, but it made them scatter to the nearest direction that could provide protection.

"I believe that some distress talismans will appear in the hands of the chief of the Man clan soon, so I need to hurry up and act." He whispered to himself for a while, and quickly walked to the nearest small refining hall.

Zhao Shoushou's purpose was to search for some treasures, not to kill the vital forces of the Man family, so they did not choose to continue the pursuit after they left.

Chapter 172 The Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivator Suddenly Killed

Although he knew that the patriarch of the Man family would definitely lead some of the monks back for help as soon as he received the help talisman from the garrison monks, and there would not be much time left for him, but Zhao Shoushou still followed his own pace step by step. any possible target.

The stay-at-home monks did not cause him too much trouble after they dispersed, but each of his targets was an important treasure storage place for the Man family, and must be protected by various small magic circles.

These magic formations are mainly first-tier low-grade defensive formations. Under the control of some monks inside, it is not easy to crack them one by one, and a lot of time is wasted in this regard.

Of course, besides the breached defensive formations, there were also many Man family garrison monks who continued to fall along with him.
