Zheng Fa walks on the mountain road of Eighth Peak.
It is early in the morning, and there are many disciples of the Uncle-Master Pang lineage on Eighth Peak. When they see Zheng Fa, the disciples with a lower level of cultivation will first bow their hands to him, and even the disciples with a higher level of cultivation will smile at him.
Zheng Fa knows that this is because of the influence of the batch of Yellow Sprout Rice.
At the beginning, Zheng Fa and Thousand Grain Sect agreed that Yellow Sprout Rice would be three hundred stones a month.
However, these three hundred stones were actually sold out within ten days, and later on, outsiders even had to be restricted from purchasing.
Calculating now, Nine Mountains Sect has to order at least six hundred stones from the Thousand Grain Sect Yellow Sprout Rice a month, which is double what was said before.
The biggest beneficiaries of this transaction are these disciples of the Nine Mountains Sect.
Zheng Fa Along the way, he returned the favor to these fellow apprentices.
The journey that used to take less than a stick of incense took half an hour.
By the time we arrived at the main hall of Uncle-Master Pang, the sun was already high.
Uncle-Master Pang was in the palace and didn't seem surprised to see him coming. He just nodded towards him and said, "Senior nephew Zheng, why did you come to see me?"
Zheng Fa saluted Uncle-Master Pang and took a look around the palace.
There were many disciples staying here, looking at him curiously.
To be fair, among the Nine Mountains Sect and the three Nascent Soul, Uncle-Master Pang is actually the one who values his disciples the most.
I won't talk about my master Master Yuan.
He has not seen Senior Sister Zhang's master True Person Huang yet, so we can see that he lives in the same house.
Only Uncle-Master Pang would pull his disciples over to teach him every now and then.
Pang True Person is one of the few people who has always planned for his disciples.
Thinking of this, he still envied these senior brothers.
"Uncle, I came here to ask for something." Zheng Fa said, "Now that Senior Sister Zhang has taken away many senior brothers, General Affairs Hall and Marketplace are short of manpower. I would like to ask you, uncle, to send some senior brothers to help me manage Marketplace."
"..."
Uncle-Master Pang slowly sat upright and looked at Zheng Fa.
His expression said just one sentence - As soon as Junior Nephew-Disciple Zhang left, you were ready to rebel?
Zheng Fa certainly understands what he is thinking.
General Affairs Pavilion and Marketplace have always been the territory of Senior Sister Zhang, and disciples of the Uncle-Master Pang lineage are not allowed to interfere.
"I mentioned this to Senior Sister Zhang before she left." Zheng Fa explained, "Senior Sister Zhang also agreed."
In fact, Senior Sister Zhang took away so many senior brothers this time to remove some obstacles for him.
Looking at Uncle-Master Pang's expression of disbelief, Zheng Fa had no choice but to explain further:
"Marketplace Over the years, some disciples have taken advantage of Senior Sister Zhang to steal money, and some disciples have even colluded with those profiteers."
"Although Senior Sister Zhang has always been merciless towards this matter, to be honest, this kind of thing has been banned repeatedly."
"Nowadays, Marketplace is becoming more and more prosperous, but those who reach out are becoming bolder, and the number is larger than usual."
Zheng Fa knows that this kind of thing will continue in the future, and even get worse--
He is confident that Marketplace can earn more and more Spirit Stone spiritual materials.
On the other hand, as Spiritual Opportunity declines, these things become more and more valuable.
Even Senior Sister Zhang has to admit that no matter how powerful she is, she cannot control the greed of people.
Just change some rules to suppress it.
"So you want to invite my disciples?"
"All senior brothers are good at Void-Piercing Spirit Eye." Zheng Fa said with a smile, "I would like to ask senior brothers to guard Marketplace. The first is to prevent someone from causing trouble, and the second is to supervise the Marketplace disciples."
The direct disciples of Uncle-Master Pang have all practiced <Void-Piercing Spirit Eye>--of course, the unlucky guy Zhou Ganyuan has not.
In Zheng Fa's heart, these are all good materials for security guards!
Comes with built-in monitoring!
Hearing what he said, the disciples in the hall looked at each other one after another, and they seemed not to be very impressed - this job sounds boring and offending, especially since Marketplace is Senior Sister Zhang's territory.
"Of course, I won't let the senior brothers work in vain!" Zheng Fa held out three fingers and said, "In one month, on behalf of Senior Sister Zhang, I will give you three additional Spirit Stone."
At this time, the expressions of several senior brothers became moved--
Boring is good!
Who wouldn't want to get money if nothing happens?
It's better to offend others!
Those who are offended are you, the solitary eaters!
With Spirit Stone, everything is easy to explain!
Uncle-Master Pang looked at Zheng Fa, then looked at his disciples with excited faces.
I always feel that this Zheng Fa can lead his group of disciples away with just a cheer.
Three Spirit Stones a month is actually not too high - because for disciples like Uncle-Master Pang, the lowest is Foundation Establishment. Even if a Foundation Establishment disciple in Marketplace doesn't bother to make money, it won't be a big problem to get this income.
But I can't stand it Uncle-Master Pang is really poor!
They are in charge of the Discipline Hall, and they get dead wages.
Unlike Senior Sister Zhang, which has Marketplace under its control, it has a lot of oil and water.
In terms of drawing talismans, the disciples of Uncle-Master Pang cannot compare to the Senior Sister Zhang lineage - Marketplace's Profound-grade talisman or above, most of the talisman market is controlled by the Senior Sister Zhang lineage.
It is precisely because of this that Uncle-Master Pang teaches his disciples so carefully, but the strength of the two lines is actually not comparable - after all, the resources of Uncle-Master Pang's line are indeed a little less in comparison.
No wonder they are dissatisfied with Senior Sister Zhang.
On the one hand, Senior Sister Zhang's move is of course to rectify Marketplace.
On the one hand, it is also a step forward.
"I actually underestimated Junior Nephew-Disciple Zhang's broadmindedness." Uncle-Master Pang was silent for a long time before gently nodding. "In that case, if any of you are willing to go, you can follow Master Nephew Zheng later."
After Uncle-Master Pang finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Fa and suddenly said, "Are you Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement Realm?"
"Yes!"
Zheng Fa Lower your head gently and it should be.
He is not slow in cultivation, and in addition to being at Senior Sister Zhang's house these days, Spiritual Qi has enough.
Breakthroughs come naturally.
"Others break through more slowly, but you break through faster and faster..." Uncle-Master Pang was silent for a moment. "The speed of your breakthrough has actually caught up with Junior Nephew-Disciple Zhang's back then."
Zheng Fa was stunned, he didn't know how fast Senior Sister Zhang broke through - but what he knew was that Senior Sister Zhang was Hundred Immortals Alliance's fastest Foundation Establishment...
But if you think about it carefully, it's natural--
<Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method> helped him far more than Senior Sister Zhang.
If we include modern times, his cultivation time is not short.
Now he lives in the place where Nine Mountains Sect has the most spiritual power.
"You have entered this realm, and I, as an elder, have to reward you." Uncle-Master Pang flashed his hand, and a Jade Slip appeared in his hand. "I <Void-Piercing Spirit Eye> still have some practice Secret Method, please take it back and discuss it with Junior Nephew-Disciple Zhang."
Zheng Fa was startled and looked at Uncle-Master Pang--Are you really hiding your secrets?
Of course, he also knew that this was Uncle-Master Pang's reciprocation.
"You mean? Someone is staring at me?"
Zheng Fa Unexpectedly, as soon as he recruited a few Marketplace security guards, he got big news - and the news was not about Marketplace, but about himself.
"Yes." Seeing Zheng Fa puzzled, Sun Daoyu explained, "Our lineage has always been responsible for the safety of the Nine Mountains Sect, and there are also some disciples patrolling the sect - we asked those disciples to pay more attention to the situation around our junior brothers."
Zheng Fa was stunned after hearing this, and couldn't help but say thank you, "Thank you, senior brother, for your trouble."
Sun Daoyu waved his hands and said, "Junior brother, you give us Spirit Stone to make money. Unlike Master, we don't have anything Secret Method to give you. We can only do some small things."
Zheng Fa smiled bitterly, "This is no small matter."
Unexpectedly, Senior Sister Zhang's precautions actually saved him from trouble.
Sun Daoyu took him to the inn on the corner.
There are already several senior brothers here, communicating with the innkeeper.
"Zheng True Person!" This shopkeeper is not a disciple of the Nine Mountains Sect. He seems to be a relative of a certain senior brother who opened an inn in the sect to make a living.
"Did you, the shopkeeper, find out?"
"Of course! As soon as these two people entered our inn, they stayed in the room and didn't come out - Tiantian didn't know what they were doing." The shopkeeper nodded and said, "I know that room, and the window faces the courtyard of your home, Zheng True Person."
"These True Person came to ask me if there was anyone suspicious near your house, and I remembered these two people."
When the shopkeeper said this, his face was a little bitter. "I was actually a little suspicious, but I never thought they really had evil intentions. I think the young man among the two people quite likes our Nine Mountains Sect."
"Like it?"
"Yes, after that person saw <Saving Little Cultivator Pang Qian>, when he met me, he liked to talk about how good our Nine Mountains Sect was, and his tone was very envious..."
Zheng Fa and Sun Daoyu looked at each other.
"Is this... really true?" Sun Daoyu said slowly.
"... more trustworthy than me." The shopkeeper also looked puzzled.
Even Zheng Fa didn't know what to say. After the play was released, most people Nine Mountains Sect just watched it for fun, and the brainwashing function was not strong--unexpectedly, it touched a bad guy.
It can only be said that distance creates beauty.
"Where are the people?"
"We knocked on the door just to ask, but who knew the two people would run away as soon as they saw us..." A senior brother said, "Several senior brothers went after us, but the Movement Method used by these two people seemed to be the rumored Heavenly Demon Disappearing Shadow."
Sun Daoyu was startled, and his face became more solemn. "Heavenly Demon Disappearing Shadow is the secret biography of Great Freedom Demon Cult. Junior Brother Zheng, I have to report this to Master, do you think?"
"I'm also going to meet Sect Leader."
"Heavenly Demon Disappearing Shadow?" On Ninth Peak, Sect Leader also frowned slowly when he heard this. Cultivation Method also showed a rare look of worry. "Great Freedom Demon Cult?"
He thought for a while and suddenly looked at Zheng Fa: "Did you hook up with another saint?"
"..."
What big disciple is PTSD?
"... No, it won't." Sect Leader shook his head.
Zheng Fa felt a little relieved for no reason - this old man still trusts his own character!
"Junior Nephew-Disciple Zhang won't give you this chance."
"..."
Senior Sister Yuan on the side nodded and stared at Zheng Fa warily.
"Master, what kind of existence is this Great Freedom Demon Sect?"
"...Demonic Sect." Sect Leader suddenly sighed and said, "You also know that Great Freedom Demon Sect was created by the monks who survived the catastrophe, right?"
Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Yuan nodded.
"There are rumors that some of those monks are still alive."
"Ah?"
This is a bit too turtley.
At least a million years have passed since the last tribulation.
How can anyone survive to this day?
"Including Great Freedom Demon Sect, we know that Demonic Sect has a total of thirteen great families - that is to say, there are thirteen High Antiquity monks who have passed down the bloodline, and they are collectively called Demonic Sect."
"These people are called the Thirteen Devil Ancestor. Some of them may still be alive - the most likely one is Founder, the founder of Great Freedom Demon Cult."
"... Master, I just have a question, why did we Immortal Sect survive?"
According to the law of the Xuanwei Realm, the older you get, the stronger you become.
If there are really people who can live for such a long time, then what else do they do?
"Judging from the classics, the last catastrophe was indeed Demonic Sect's world, but Venerable Tianhe single-handedly carried the sword, destroyed thirteen wealthy families, and fought with some giants hidden in history, and only then did Xuanwei unify."
"... So this calamity is the result of the Immortal Sect being respected. We, Immortal Sect, have also been working hard to suppress Demonic Sect."
Sect Leader sighed and said, "Now that there are traces of the Great Freedom Demon Sect, it is really not good news."
"Master... why are these Devil Ancestor obsessed with continuing their own bloodline?" Zheng Fa couldn't help but ask.
This was what he couldn't understand the most.
If you cultivate Daoism and seek longevity, reproduction is not that important.
Especially for a being who has lived for millions of years at first glance - this blood relationship is quite distant.
"Demonic Sect Cultivation Method are all descended from the Thirteen Devil Ancestor, and only their bloodline can cultivate. I have never seen these Cultivation Method, but a powerful person has said that for Devil Ancestor, these people are both descendants and furnaces. In the end, they may even be blood-food."
"There are also rumors that Devil Ancestor has been relying on his best bloodline to survive for such a long time."
Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment and then understood. "This is to deal with the decline of Spiritual Opportunity... to cultivate a kind of Spirit Plant that only you can use?"
"... It's good what you say, but it sounds a little scary to me."
Sect Leader was silent for a long time before speaking.
The uncle and nephew who were monitoring Zheng Fa ran wildly and fled.
Heavenly Demon Disappearing Shadow was originally an excellent way to escape from the air, but someone among the pursuers called Golden Core disciples. Not only did the two of them not escape, but they watched their pursuers getting closer and closer.
"Uncle? Where should we escape?"
"Young Master once said that if you are exposed, go to a secret place to meet him, and he will rescue us." The middle-aged man said as he ran, "That place is not far from here, and we will arrive soon."
This is the corner of the river bank. There is a small house on the corner that is probably used by fishermen.
"That's it!"
The middle-aged man pointed to the small house and said.
But when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped his nephew and gave him a bloody pill.
"Uncle?" the young man said blankly.
"If something happens when you enter the house, just swallow this Heart-Burning Pill."
After saying that, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and opened the door of the room.
A mysterious light flashed through the room, and a middle-aged man's loud reminder came. "Take the pill quickly!"
As soon as the young man heard this, he immediately swallowed the Heart-Burning Pill he was holding.
The next moment, the blood in his body began to coagulate, and his heart slowly began to stop--
He suddenly understood that there was no young master in the room at all, and it was most likely just a warning circle.
As soon as they entered, the young master knew that the two of them had been exposed.
At this time, the young master is inviting the spirit of Holy Ancestor to cut off the lives of his uncle and nephew.
Among the Great Freedom Demon Sect, people with pure blood and high cultivation level can kill and take away their lives without even taking action through this method!
He felt his body gradually stiffen, leaving only the heat of Blood-Burning Pill, maintaining a fire in his heart.
Lying at the door of the hut, I saw that my uncle was already lying in the house without moving at all...
His chest was burning hot, and it wasn't just Heart-Burning Pill, it was also the burning anger.
"Found it!"
Behind him, the shouts of pursuing soldiers came.
He raised his head, raised his neck as hard as he could, and whispered Humanity's Dao: "Help... help me."
Several disciples of the Nine Mountains Sect were stunned. They saw each other lying on the ground gradually unconscious, and then looked at the Nine Mountains Sect uniforms on their own bodies. They couldn't help but feel a little confused:
"... Did he see the wrong person?"
When he woke up again, the young man found himself lying on a couch.
Next to the collapse, there was a man holding a ceramic bottle. A long and thin pipe extended from the mouth of the bottle and pierced his arm.
"... Are you awake?"
Seeing him waking up, Zheng Fa smiled and waved his hand, and the pipe formed by Blood-Siphoning Talisman disappeared into the void, as if nothing had been done.
Looking at the bottle, the young man who woke up was silent and just asked, "Where is this?"
"Nine Mountains Sect."
Zheng Fa clearly saw the expression of broken faith on this man's face for a moment...
"Junior Brother Zheng! We have run out of blood again!" Li Nuo opened the door and came in with the words "asking for funds" on his face. He looked at the porcelain bottle filled with blood, smelled it with the tip of his nose, and said in surprise, "Junior brother, is this the new blood you bought?"
"Huh? Why is this person fainted?"
