Laoshan Sect
"Alright, I'll come back in six days." Wang Changsheng took out a mid-grade spirit stone and handed it to the middle-aged man before leaving. [Latest Chapter Reading]
Looking at Wang Changsheng's back, the middle-aged man's face showed a thoughtful expression.
After leaving the Heavenly Talisman House, Wang Changsheng was in a good mood. If it wasn't for the fact that time was a little tight, he really wanted to order a top-grade metal attribute magic tool from the Divine Weapon Pavilion. But then again, after leaving Ning Zhou, Wang Changsheng really realized how small Ning Zhou was.
In Ning Zhou, Foundation Establishment cultivators were the backbone of most cultivation families. They usually didn't show up easily and were very old. But here, Foundation Establishment cultivators could be seen everywhere and were very young.
In addition, the Qi Condensation cultivators here couldn't be underestimated. There were many people who cultivated to the tenth layer of Qi Condensation at the age of ten. There were even some who were about the same age as Wang Changsheng but had already reached the peak of Qi Condensation. This made the trace of arrogance in his heart disappear.
Of course, Wang Changsheng also felt that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this market was many times denser than in Ning Zhou. If he was in this environment, Wang Changsheng was confident that he could reach the tenth layer of Qi Condensation before the age of twenty.
In addition to repairing magic tools and buying talismans, Wang Changsheng's main purpose was to buy maps. He only bought the map of the Song Dynasty in Ning Zhou and didn't have a specific map of every province, which was very inconvenient.
If he had a more specific map, it would be more convenient for him to travel and replenish his cultivation resources.
With this thought in mind, Wang Changsheng walked into a bookstore that sold secret manuals and maps. The owner was a middle-aged man with a mustache. The mana fluctuations on his body were a bit stronger than Wang Changsheng's.
"Shopkeeper, do you have a topographic map of Lan Zhou? It's best if it has the location of each market, "Wang Changsheng said straightforwardly.
"There are two kinds, rough and detailed. Which one do you want?" The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Meticulous," Wang Changsheng said without thinking.
"A detailed topographic map and thirty-five low-grade spirit stones," the middle-aged man said as he took out a white jade slip and handed it to Wang Changsheng.
Wang Changsheng took the white jade slip and placed it between his eyebrows. He sent his divine sense into it to check its contents.
It didn't take long for Wang Changsheng to withdraw his spirit sense. Then, he nodded in satisfaction. He paid the spirit stones in a straightforward manner. Then, he turned around and left.
Before Wang Changsheng walked far away, a voice full of mockery entered Wang Changsheng's ears, "Old Song, you're actually asking for 70 spiritual stones for a beginner wood-type talisman book? Do you think our Laoshan Sect is easy to bully?"
"Laoshan Sect? Isn't that the sect of the two Daoist priests who were killed by the zombies? " Hearing this, Wang Changsheng's heart skipped a beat. He looked back curiously and saw two men in yellow Daoist robes walking into the bookstore. The middle-aged man frowned with a hint of anger in his eyes.
The older Daoist priest had a cultivation of Lv 11 Qi Refining Realm while the younger one had a strength of Lv 10 Qi Refining Realm.
"Huang Tianming, don't go too far. Although your Laoshan Sect is one of the managers of Tianyun Market, you can't control the price of our books! Besides, he didn't have to buy it if he thought it was too expensive. I didn't force him to buy it, "the middle-aged man suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice.
"Humph, of course we can't control it. However, my junior fellow apprentice felt that 70 spiritual stones was too expensive and didn't want it anymore. He wants to return the book. You don't have a problem with that, right?" The older Daoist priest snorted and said lightly.
"This beginner wood-type talisman book was sold three days ago. Three days is enough for you to make a copy. It's impossible for you to return it," the middle-aged man refused without hesitation.
"Why? Are you questioning the character of our Laoshan Sect disciples? I'm not afraid to tell you that Martial Uncle Liu is in the market. Do you want me to invite Martial Uncle Liu over? "
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face changed slightly. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Fine, return my book to me."
"Actually, you don't have to return the spiritual stones. As long as you agree to marry your daughter to Martial Uncle Liu as his concubine, we will be a family. In the future, our Laoshan Sect disciples will definitely patronize your shop."
At this moment, a young woman rushed out from the back room and said with a determined face, "Bah, I, Song Yingying, would rather die than marry someone else as his concubine."
The girl was only 15 or 16 years old. She had an oval face, curved eyebrows, and a small mouth. She was a beauty.
"Humph, you don't know what's good for you. In terms of status, Martial Uncle Liu is a deacon of our sect. In terms of cultivation, Martial Uncle Liu is a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. It's your fortune to be his concubine. Today, I'll say it. If you don't agree, your shop will be closed!" After saying that, the elderly Taoist priest left the shop with his companions.
Seeing this, the owners of the surrounding shops looked at the girl with some sympathy. Laoshan Sect was one of the managers of the Heavenly Cloud Market. If she offended a deacon of Laoshan Sect, she would probably have a hard time in the future.
As soon as the two Taoists left, the determined look on the girl's face disappeared and was replaced by a face full of worry.
After listening to the conversation between the Taoist priest and the father and daughter, Wang Changsheng vaguely guessed the cause of this dispute. A Foundation Establishment cultivator of Laoshan Sect took a fancy to the girl and wanted her to be his concubine. However, the girl refused, so he asked his Martial Nephew to cause trouble in the girl's shop in an attempt to force the girl to submit.
Wang Changsheng didn't want to be a hero to save the beauty. Moreover, he didn't have the ability to do so. The other party was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
However, this matter reminded him that this was the territory of Laoshan Sect. It was better not to take out the magic instrument in the purple-robed Taoist priest's storage bag. If it belonged to the two Laoshan Sect disciples who were killed by the zombies, he wouldn't be able to clear his name.
Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng quickly walked towards the inn. He'd better stay in the inn and draw the talisman! After the Xuanling Shield was repaired, he would leave immediately. There was no need to cause trouble.
In a stone room in the Tianfeng Tower, the tallest building in the Heavenly Cloud Market, a middle-aged man with a face full of pockmarks was sitting on a wooden armchair with a gloomy face.
Not far in front of him, there were two yellow-robed Taoists standing with their hands down. They looked extremely respectful. They were the two people who caused trouble in the bookstore just now.
"Tianming, is that little girl still unwilling to submit?" The pockmarked man looked at a Taoist priest.
"Yes, Martial Uncle. As long as you give me a month, no, half a month, I will definitely send this little girl to your bed," Huang Tianming said with a flattering smile.
"Half a month?" The pockmarked man heard this and his face was a little moved. However, he seemed to think of something and shook his head. He said, "Forget it, let's put this aside for now. No need to send people to make trouble. Just send someone to keep an eye on her and don't let her leave the market."
"Don't worry! Martial Uncle, I've been sending people to keep an eye on her. This little girl can't run away. If it weren't for the fact that I was worried about bringing trouble to Martial Uncle, I would have kidnapped her long ago. "
The pockmarked man heard this and nodded with satisfaction. He took out a white porcelain bottle and threw it to Huang Tianming. He said, "This is a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pills. It's suitable for you to take. Okay, you can leave now! I'm going to rest. If there's anything wrong with that little girl, inform me immediately. "
"Yes, Martial Uncle," Huang Tianming took the white porcelain bottle with joy on his face. He responded and left respectfully.
"Senior brother, this bottle of Qi Nourishing Pills, look …" After walking out of the stone room, the younger Taoist priest looked at the porcelain bottle in Huang Tianming's hand with a fiery expression.
Seeing this, Huang Tianming's eyes flashed with a trace of reluctance, but he still gave two Qi Nourishing Pills to the young Taoist priest.
"Okay, you should go and get Junior brother Chen back. Keep an eye on that little girl. You won't be lacking in benefits," Huang Tianming ordered.
The young Taoist priest cursed in his heart for being stingy, but he hurriedly said yes and left in high spirits.
Chapter 86: Qi Nourishing Pills
Chain Lightning Talisman
Wang Changsheng sat cross-legged on his bed with his eyes closed. A white jade slip was stuck between his eyebrows. 【..】
After a while, Immortal Wang opened his eyes, a pensive expression on his face.
Lan Province was about the same size as Ning Province, and there were many cultivation forces. Just the cultivation clans alone numbered over a hundred. Among them, there was no lack of Core Formation cultivators. In addition, there were large and small sects. The large ones had Yuanying cultivators and the small ones had several Core Formation cultivators. These cultivation clans and sects, without exception, were all built deep in the mountains. This blocked Wang Changsheng's path.
In other words, if he went by land, he would have to pass through the territories of several cultivation clans and sects. Even if he didn't have any ill intentions, they wouldn't let him pass through their doors. This could be considered as offending them.
If he went by sea, he could take a ship directly to Jian Province. Jian Province and Feng Province were only two provinces apart, so it was a good choice.
However, the problem was that there might be sea demons on the sea. With his cultivation at the peak of the eighth layer, he wouldn't be able to fly for long. In addition, he didn't know how long it would take to reach Jian Province by ship.
If he went by land, he could change his route at any time. If he went by sea, it was impossible to get off the ship halfway, because the sailing route was fixed and couldn't be changed at will.
The most important thing was that Wang Changsheng didn't know when the Taiqing Palace's apprenticeship ceremony would end. If he missed it, he wouldn't have another chance in this life.
After careful analysis, Wang Changsheng decided to go by sea. There was no other way. If he went by land in a straight line, he would have to pass through many cultivation clans and sects. If he didn't go in a straight line, it would take a lot of time. It was better to go by sea.
If he went by sea, there was a large dock five or six hundred miles away from the Cloud mountain range. He could take a ship from there to Jian Province. If he flew five or six hundred miles, it would take less than a day.
Since he decided to go by sea, he had to be well prepared. At the very least, he had to have some understanding of the sea demons.
Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng left the inn and prepared to buy some jade slips and books in the topographic map shop. To his surprise, it was still early and the bookstore was closed.
However, Wang Changsheng didn't think much about it. Since the bookstore was closed, he would buy it elsewhere.
Half an hour later, Wang Changsheng returned to the inn. He had lost hundreds of spirit stones and gained more than ten jade slips.
In the next few days, Wang Changsheng didn't leave the room again. In addition to sacrificial refining the Black Cloud Boat and reading the contents of the jade slips, he used the rest of the time to draw talismans.
Wang Changsheng could now draw several kinds of talismans with nine talismans. Although the success rate was not very high, compared to the time in Ningzhou, it was a big improvement.
On this day, Wang Changsheng sat at the table, holding a black talisman pen in one hand and a silver stone in his left hand. In front of him was a shining silver talisman with several silver talismans drawn on it.
Wang Changsheng held his breath and slowly lowered the pen. A silver talisman slowly appeared on the talisman.
A silver light flashed on the surface of the talisman. The talisman emitted bursts of silver light and squirmed like a living creature, emitting a terrifying aura.
Seeing this, Wang Changsheng's tired face showed a smile. After many days of research and many attempts, he finally succeeded in drawing a thunder talisman – the Chain of Thunder Talisman.
The Chain of Thunder Talisman was the most common thunder talisman. It was composed of nine thunder talismans.
Looking at the shining silver Chain of Thunder Talisman, Wang Changsheng was eager to try. He really wanted to find a target to test the power of the Chain of Thunder Talisman.
However, this idea was just a thought. It took several days and dozens of blank talisman paper to draw a Chain of Thunder Talisman. Wang Changsheng was reluctant to use it casually.
In addition to this Chain of Thunder Talisman, Wang Changsheng also drew many other offensive talismans, such as the Fire Snake Talisman, the Icicle Talisman, and the Wind Blade Talisman. Most of them were talismans with nine talismans. There were not many talismans with three talismans, such as the Water Arrow Talisman and the Fireball Talisman.
As the number of talismans increased, the power of the talisman increased significantly. No matter from the point of view of power or cost, it was better to draw a talisman with more talismans.
After counting the days, it was time to get the custom-made talisman. Wang Changsheng put away the talisman making tools and left the inn.
The inn was not far from the Heavenly Talisman House. Wang Changsheng soon arrived at the Heavenly Talisman House. At this time, there were not many customers in the house.
&nbssp
There were many people on the deck. In addition to the crew of the Ninghai Ship, there were many well-dressed officials and nobles. After all, not everyone could afford the five hundred taels of silver.
Among these people, there was a group that attracted Wang Changsheng's attention.
A graceful girl in a palace dress stood on the left side of the deck, looking at the vast sea with excitement. Beside her, there were five or six tall guards, looking at the people around vigilantly. The leader was a big man with a black face, exuding a faint Evil Spirit, which made people not dare to approach him.
For some reason, Wang Changsheng felt a little uneasy when he saw the five or six guards. This kind of situation would only happen when he met a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The big man with a black face seemed to notice something. He turned his head and looked at Wang Changsheng.
When Wang Changsheng met the big man's eyes, he was suddenly frightened, as if he was being stared at by something terrible. His face changed, and he hurriedly looked away.
The big man with a black face was surprised. He looked up and down at Wang Changsheng, and then withdrew his eyes.
Recalling the experience just now, Wang Changsheng still had a lingering fear. He was sure that these people were also cultivators, at least in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Thinking of the five or six cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm sitting on the same boat with him, Wang Changsheng felt very uneasy.
However, the Ninghai Ship had just docked at a dock two days ago, and now it was heading to Jianzhou. It was impossible for him to get off the ship even if he wanted to. As for leaving with the Flying Celestial Device, as soon as he took out the Flying Celestial Device, these cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm would kill him immediately. Instead of that, it was better to stay on the ship. They would not attack him for no reason. Otherwise, he would not be alive today.
Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng felt a little relieved. He walked to the right side of the deck and enjoyed the scenery of the sea.
At this time, the Ninghai Ship was deep in the sea. At first glance, there was no end in sight. From time to time, flocks of seabirds flew overhead.
Just then, with a boom, the Ninghai Ship swayed from left to right. Wang Changsheng lost his balance and fell directly on the deck.
"Wow! What's that? How can it be so big? "
"No, it's a sea monster. Run!"
A burst of discussion came from the left side of the deck.
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng turned his head subconsciously. When he saw clearly what it was, he could not help but gasp.
A huge monster appeared about 100 meters away from the left side of the Ninghai Ship. This monster had a bald head, more than a dozen long tentacles, two eyes as big as a skull, and a mouth as big as a house. From its appearance, it looked like an octopus, but it was not. How could there be such a huge octopus?
"Is this a sea monster?" Looking at the octopus monster, which was dozens of times bigger than the Ninghai Ship, Wang Changsheng murmured to himself, his eyes full of shock.
He had thought that sea monsters were just demonic beasts in the sea, which were not much different from demonic beasts on the land. Who would have thought that this sea monster was so big! It was beyond Wang Changsheng's understanding.
The octopus monster opened its bloody mouth, and a water column as thick as a water tank sprayed out towards the people on the deck.
Suddenly, the people standing on the left side of the deck were unlucky. Many of them were thrown out on the spot and fell into the sea.
Then, the octopus monster raised its two tentacles, which were more than 30 meters long, and slapped at the Ninghai Ship fiercely.
No matter how strong the Ninghai Ship was, it could not withstand this monster's attack! Many people showed a touch of despair on their faces, and some timid people simply closed their eyes.
"Evil creature, you're courting death." The black-faced man standing near the girl in the palace dress snorted. He turned his right hand, and a long black saber appeared in his hand. Under the sunlight, the saber reflected a touch of strange color.
The black-faced man walked quickly to the front. The long black saber lit up with an extremely dazzling black light, and he waved it fiercely at the two tentacles.
A black light blade, which was more than 30 meters long, emitted an amazing aura and quickly met the tentacles.
As soon as the black light blade touched the two tentacles, the two tentacles were cut off. Without the obstruction of the tentacles, the black light blade continued to move forward and pierced through the octopus monster.
After a while, the huge octopus monster was divided into two and sank to the bottom of the sea, splashing up waves of several meters high. The blue sea water was dyed red by blood.
"Immortal Master, this is an immortal!"
Seeing this scene, the dignitaries on the deck were dumbfounded, but soon, they knelt on the deck and kowtowed to the black-faced man, their faces full of awe.
The black-faced man and the others didn't look at the people who were kneeling on the ground. They protected the reluctant girl in the palace dress, and walked towards the cabin.
When passing by Wang Changsheng, the black-faced man gently swept his gaze in the direction of Wang Changsheng, and this made Wang Changsheng nervous. He was afraid that this Foundation Establishment expert didn't find him pleasing to the eye, and would behead him.
Chapter 90: Immortal Master
The Imperial family
The black-faced man and the others protected the girl in the palace dress, and walked to the front of a cabin. [No pop-up window …]
The girl pushed the door and walked in without any trace of politeness. Several guards stood guard outside, and the black-faced man followed the girl in the palace dress, and walked in.
The cabin was very spacious. A woman in her thirties was sitting cross-legged on a praying mat. She had a blue hairpin in her hair, and was wearing a blue palace dress. Her body had a graceful and luxurious temperament.
"What's the matter? Who made our Princess Huo Wu angry?" The middle-aged woman saw the bitter face of the girl in the palace dress, and asked with a soft smile. Everyone could hear the doting intention in her words.
"It's Li Guang. Seventh Aunt, you judge for me. A low-level sea demon had appeared with great difficulty, and Li Guang had killed it with a single blade. I didn't even have a chance to attack." The girl in the palace dress turned her head, and stared at the black-faced man behind her. She pouted, and looked very cute.
The black-faced man's expression didn't change, and he didn't say anything to defend himself.
"Well, you're a Foundation Establishment expert, but you've been practicing in the mansion all this time. You don't have any real combat experience. I'm afraid that this ship would've been destroyed by the sea demon by the time you attacked."
"Humph, it's not that I want to stay in the mansion. It's you who won't let me go out. I was born in the same year, month, and day as my sister. Why can my sister go out at will, but I can't?" The girl in the palace dress snorted, and said with some dissatisfaction.
"You little girl, how many times have I told you not to reveal your identity? If someone heard you say that, who wouldn't know that you're a member of the Imperial family?" The middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows, and spoke with a reproachful tone.
"If they hear, then so be it. What are you afraid of? Seventh Aunt is a Core Formation cultivator, and you're the Seventh Princess of the Imperial family. What could they do to us? Besides, the people living around us are all our people. There's no way anyone will hear what you say. "The girl in the palace dress spoke with indifference.
"No matter what, it's best if you don't say such things. If it weren't for the fact that I had to avoid those people's eyes and ears, why would I take a mortal's ship back to the capital?"
"I really don't know who those people are for them to make Seventh Aunt so fearful. Isn't it just an escort?" Before the girl in the palace dress could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the middle-aged woman.
"Shut up. If you dare to speak nonsense again, I'll confine you to ten years of confinement." The middle-aged woman reprimanded without any trace of politeness. Her expression was very serious, and she didn't seem to be joking.
When the girl in the palace dress saw this, her eyes reddened and she pouted her small mouth. She appeared as if she had been greatly wronged, causing others to feel sorry for her.
"That's right. Fifth Temple Head, this subordinate encountered a Ninth Layer Qi Condensation cultivator on the deck. He had a faint killing intent on his body and didn't seem like a good person. Should we get rid of him?" When the dark-faced man saw this, he quickly changed the topic.
"I know the person you're talking about. Half a month ago, he was still at the Eighth Layer Qi Condensation. We have a mission to complete, so it's better to avoid unnecessary trouble. As long as he doesn't provoke us, let him do as he pleases!" The middle-aged woman said without hesitation.
"Yes, Fifth Temple Head. If there's nothing else, this subordinate will take his leave." The dark-faced man bowed slightly and respectfully withdrew.
"Alright, Commander Li has also left. You don't need to pretend anymore." The middle-aged woman glanced at the girl in the palace dress and indifferently said.
The girl in the palace dress's expression relaxed, but she didn't reply. She continued to pout her small mouth, as if she was still angry.
"Alright, alright. As long as you obediently complete this mission, I'll bring you out more in the future. However, the prerequisite is that you listen to me."
"Hehe, I knew Seventh Aunt was the best to me." When the girl heard this, a trace of joy appeared on her beautiful face and she said with a smile.
The middle-aged woman smiled bitterly and didn't say anything.
On the other side, Wang Changsheng stayed on the deck for half an hour before returning to his room to rest.
After Wang Changsheng destroyed the three Taoists of the Laoshan Sect with the help of the talismans, he was full of confidence. He originally thought that with the Ninth Layer Qi Condensation and a large number of offensive talismans, he wouldn't necessarily be at a disadvantage against a Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, after seeing the dark-faced man destroy a sea monster with one strike, Wang Changsheng understood how ridiculous his idea was. The gap between a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Qi Condensation cultivator was not something that could be made up for with a few dozen offensive talismans.
According to Wang Changsheng's estimation, as long as he used five of these attacks, he would be able to destroy the Xuanling Shield. Of course, this was also related to Wang Changsheng's cultivation. If he was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he would be able to fully display the defensive ability of the Xuanling Shield. It would be hard to say who would win and who would lose. But now! It was better to be a coward!
In the next few days, Wang Changsheng had been staying in his room. Even if he vomited, he would clean up by himself. He was determined not to go to the deck. This made the crew, who had been eager for a reward, very depressed. He thought that he could make a lot of money in the next few days!
As time passed, Wang Changsheng's calm heart became restless. When he thought that he would soon arrive at Fengzhou to participate in the Taiqing Palace's disciple recruitment ceremony, Wang Changsheng was very excited.
"Sir, we have arrived at Jianzhou Harbor." A few days later, the voice of the crew came from outside the room.
"Oh, we have arrived at Jianzhou?" Wang Changsheng opened the door and said excitedly.
"Yes! The Ninghai Cruise is docked. You can disembark soon. I have been to Jianzhou many times. Do you want me to show you around? "The crew said with a flattering smile.
"No, you can inform me when you disembark." Wang Changsheng shook his head, threw a piece of silver to the crew, and closed the door.
What Wang Changsheng didn't know was that when he closed the door, the crew's eyes showed a touch of greed.
Carrying a lot of belongings, alone, and weak. This was the crew's impression of Wang Changsheng. It was also the reason why he had evil intentions. As long as he led this young master to a place where no one was around and killed him, wouldn't his belongings be his? At that time, he could find a place where no one was around and be a rich man. Thinking of this, his expression was a little fiery.
After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, the crew came to Wang Changsheng's room again. He knocked on the door and said loudly, "Sir, the ship is docked. You can disembark."
"I know. You can leave!" Wang Changsheng's unquestionable voice came from the room.
When the crew heard this, he was a little disappointed. He was about to say something.
The guests from the other rooms came out one after another, filling up the originally narrow passageway.
"Sir, don't disembark yet. I'll personally take you down." The crew said this and quickly left.
When Wang Changsheng heard this, he didn't care. He only thought that the crew wanted to ask for more money.
There were more and more people in the passageway, and the noise reached Wang Changsheng's ears.
Wang Changsheng smiled, opened the door, and walked out. He mixed in with the crowd.
Wang Changsheng remembered that his Third Great Uncle said that the Great Song Dynasty's imperial court was backed by a large Immortal cultivation clan. In order to better manage the Great Song Dynasty, the imperial court forbade Immortal cultivators from wantonly attacking mortals. Therefore, as long as he mixed in with the crowd, those people who wanted to attack him would have to consider the Immortal cultivation clan backing the imperial court.
However, Wang Changsheng clearly thought too much. Those people didn't find trouble with him. After disembarking, Wang Changsheng disappeared into the crowd.
