Main text Chapter 82: Demon Cultivator Family

Three cups of tea, even as a treat, the others didn't feel dissatisfied at all. Because their cultivation is only at the early stage of Qi training.

In front of Xu Yangyi were two middle-aged and elderly men. One of them had a square face and short hair. He was wearing a slightly faded short coat and a pair of black cloth shoes. The other one is an old man who looks like an old farmer. A foot-long beard hangs slowly down, the wrinkles on his face look like dried orange peel, and there is a black birthmark on his left cheek. The whole person looks no different from other old farmers.

At this moment, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Xu Yangyi is willing to let them in, he should be a dove. If a hawk came to this small village in the middle of Qi training, they would really be restless!

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I am Wang Sanshan. I settled here seven years ago." The square-faced Wang Sanshan cupped his hands, looked at Xu Yangyi who was sipping tea with his eyes lowered, and respectfully took over a small jade box: "Congratulations to Friend Daoist for breaking through the middle stage. This is my thought. I hope fellow Taoists will accept it."

His posture was very low, and Xu Yangyi did not move. Instead, after Li Zongyuan took it, he scanned it with his spiritual sense and found about twenty low-grade spiritual stones. Then he smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Taoist, you are interested."

Wang Sanshan didn't have any dissatisfaction, he just handed over his hand again, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down with a smile.

"I am Qinan. I have lived here for fifteen years. Congratulations to fellow Taoist for breaking through to the middle stage. I am also a little careful. I hope you don't mind."

It was also a jade box. Xu Yangyi's spiritual consciousness scanned it, but he was slightly stunned.

It is not easy for spiritual consciousness to penetrate into this square jade box. It has obviously been specially processed. In particular, it was not a spiritual stone inside, but a petal with traces of fire. About the size of a palm.

The original shape of the petals could no longer be seen, but he could feel the huge spiritual power carried by the petals by scanning them with his spiritual consciousness. Swallowing this burnt petal into water is even better than some elixirs!

For the Qi training period, this is already considered a generous gift. At least in Xu Yangyi's opinion, he was reluctant to take it out.

"It's interesting." He spoke for the first time: "Is this?"

Qi Nan's eyes suddenly shone, but he still bowed his hands respectfully: "A little gadget I got by chance, it makes me laugh."

The other party refused to tell, and Xu Yangyi didn't force it. Qi Nan then smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Xu, do you plan to stay here permanently? Generally, retreats will choose places far away from the city. The more original the ecology, the richer the spiritual energy. Dissatisfied with Taoist friend, it is twenty kilometers away from our village and is almost close to Baishan Mountain. Although the government failed to develop the Longdong Scenic Area below, there are several Taoist monks from the middle and later periods who have gone into retreat there.”

This is asking yourself whether you are a permanent resident or a visitor. If you are a permanent resident, you will inevitably have frequent contacts in the future. If you are a passer-by, it may be just this one time for everyone to meet.

"Passenger." Xu Yangyi took a sip of tea and said lightly: "However, maybe I will stay for ten or eight years. I don't know for sure."

The three of them chatted for a while, then Wang Sanshan and Qinan stood up to leave. The purpose has been achieved, there is no need to stay any longer.

"Master, I'm going to buy the tickets now. We will leave for Sidalianchi in a week?"

"Okay." Xu Yangyi nodded, but did not get up. Instead, he took the jade box containing the petals from Li Zongyuan with interest and started playing with it.

"Master...is there something wrong with this petal?" Li Zongyuan asked puzzledly.

Xu Yangyi played with it calmly. After a few seconds, he smiled and said, "Open the box."

As soon as he opened it, Li Zongyuan's eyes flashed: "This is..."

The box was filled with talismans. At this moment, the blue-colored talismans were shining brightly.

"This is a magic circle that isolates spiritual consciousness." Xu Yangyi finally put down the teacup and pondered for a moment: "I know a few of the runes, and it functions like a benchmark. Those who exceed its standard can see clearly what's inside. , if you can’t beat it, you have to open the box and take a look.”

"Why did he do this?" Li Zongyuan was stunned: "Although the spiritual energy content of this petal is high enough. It can be considered a generous gift at most, but it is not a big gift at all. Isn't it necessary?"

Xu Yangyi looked at the door with a half-smile but not a smile: "Yes... flower petals are not a big gift, why did he bother with them?"

"What do you think? Fellow Daoist Qi?"

Li Zongyuan was startled, and immediately raised his head and looked around, but saw nothing.

"Fellow Daoist Xu is really powerful...how do you know I'm still here?"

With a faint sigh, a crow flew down from the beam, and a misty black mist spread from each of its feathers. In less than two seconds, the old farmer was already standing in front of them, bowing deeply. A bow.

"The head of the Demon Cultivator Qi Family, pays homage to fellow Taoist. Fellow Taoist has a strong spiritual consciousness and high strength. Among the mid-term monks, he is the only one I have seen in my life."

He said these words extremely sincerely, and after bowing down, it took him a full five seconds to stand up again.

"But... I'm very curious, how do fellow Taoists know that I'm still there? Our Qi family, although our cultivation level is not high, our ancestors have passed down some talisman paths. In the middle of Qi training, it is almost impossible to see the traces of me."

Xu Yangyi looked at the other party with a half-smile, "It's not surprising that you don't know where I came from."

"In our place, we use this kind of clumsy testing method not only four or five times a week, but two or three times a week." He pushed the jade box on the table casually: "Fellow Taoist's tests are child's play in comparison."

Qi Nan blushed slightly in embarrassment: "I am looking down on fellow Taoist."

Silence came suddenly. Qinan seemed to be making up his mind, but Xu Yangyi did not rush him. After a full ten minutes, Qi Nan raised his head and looked at Xu Yangyi solemnly.

"Fellow Daoist Xu..." Qi Nan's old body leaned forward and said solemnly: "I definitely don't have any malicious intentions... Before you, I have used this trick to test several mid-level monks."

Xu Yangyi nodded and motioned for the other party to continue.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xu knows about this insect?" Qin Nan took off his bamboo hat and grabbed a black beetle from it, which was about the size of the nail of his little finger. He coughed lightly and said, "Its name is Ying beetle. It can do it. Sensing the strength of the person designated by the driver, the moment he saw fellow Taoist, the insect... became silent. "

He looked at Xu Yangyi with a hint of complexity in his eyes: "I have never encountered this kind of situation before! At that time, I thought it was a problem with the insect. After I left, I found... it was actually dead!"

"There is only one situation in which Ying Chong will die... and that is when the other party surpasses him too much. I have been practicing for decades, and apart from fellow Taoists, no one has ever been able to make Ying Chong die." At this point, Qi Nan's expression has changed from respectful to passionate, and he said in a deep voice: "To be honest, I have sent out five copies of that petal, all of which are local or resident monks with outstanding reputations..."

He deliberately paused before speaking, and Xu Yangyi smiled slightly: "You mean, your kind of flower has many petals."

"Of course." Qi Nan took a deep breath and licked his lips: "I will always ask if I am satisfied with the gift... Once I can really see the gift, I will naturally feel it. But..."

He narrowed his eyes: "So far, only three mid-term monks have really seen it clearly. Fellow Daoist Xu is the third one. I don't know..." He glanced at Li Zongyuan intentionally or unintentionally, and stopped talking.

"It doesn't matter." Xu Yangyi waved his hand, and immediately, all the doors and windows seemed to be pushed up by invisible hands, and they all clicked shut.

Qi Nan gritted his teeth and took several deep breaths before cautiously taking out a mobile phone. The old man's Adam's apple trembled: "Fellow Daoist Xu, before I look at this thing, I hope you will make a vow of inner demons..."

"Are you kidding?" Before he finished speaking, Xu Yangyi picked up the teacup and took a sip as usual: "Did Fellow Daoist Qi make a mistake?"

Qi Nan stood there with a complicated expression, neither advancing nor retreating.

"Just take anything and make me swear. There are people with this qualification." He glanced at the other party lightly: "But it will never include you."

For a family that was the head of the family in the early days, the only option was to cooperate with him. According to him, he has been quietly scouting for many mid-term positions. Yes, in the practice of civilization, no one in the outside world will kill people and steal treasures openly, but if you are in a deep mountain and old forest... just explore the secret realm and you can shirk everything. This shows that their family has the means not to be afraid of the mid-term monks.

Xu Yangyi, who had just made a breakthrough, knew very well how big the gap was between the early stage and the mid stage. Such a dangerous person should swear an oath when he comes to your door?

Furthermore, even if you look at the appearance, the other party, as the apparently weak party, came to the door for cooperation, but asked him to swear an oath. It's like an unknown company running up to an international plutocrat and saying: I have a chance, but you have to swear.

There is only one result. swear? Impossible. If you like to talk, don’t tell? roll.

Qi Nan held back everything he said. After a long time, he stood up with a slightly blushing face: "The matter may be related to the secret realm. Since my fellow Taoist is unwilling to swear, I won't force it."

Xu Yangyi saw Li Zongyuan winking desperately from the corner of his eye, but he ignored it and nodded calmly: "I won't send it away."

Qinan was completely stunned by these words!

He was just trying to advance before retreating! Who knew that the other party would change hands and close this door!

Now, he could neither advance nor retreat. He stood there for a long time and left with a sullen face without saying a word.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Yangyi never looked at the other party.

"Brush!" Li Zongyuan reached the door in two steps and looked at the other party's figure unwillingly.

Not only Qi Nan, but also Li Zongyuan didn't expect that Xu Yangyi actually refused! And there is no room for maneuver in refusing!

"Master!" Li Zongyuan turned around anxiously until Qi Nan's figure was no longer visible: "You, this, this may be related to the secret realm! You just refused?"

Xu Yangyi's expression didn't change.

He knows the secret realm. If it is said that any industry or category needs exciting things. Then the secret realm is the most exciting legend among the practicing community!

XX picked up a skill in a certain secret realm and successfully built the foundation... XX obtained a top-quality magic weapon in a certain secret realm and entered the top 100 monks... XX was a hero who saved a beauty in a certain secret realm. The beautiful nun married him... It was like in movies and TV shows where the protagonist picked up a million on the roadside.

Without these legends, there would be no basic hope. Any industry needs this kind of legend.

The secret realm is either a different world, or an ancient large-scale place... After thousands of years of geographical and landform changes, they have been buried in the corners of the earth. Only those with great fortune and perseverance can see it. Most secret places hide exciting opportunities.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly.

Now, what opportunity can compare to the Eternal Pill King?
