Chapter 102 Assassination

Indeed.

Using talismans, especially finished talismans, is powerful and does not consume one's own spiritual power. The most important thing is that it can be cast instantly, which is of course very popular among cultivators.

The Bai family obviously felt the pressure from the Chen family and was making preparations in advance.

There are more than one talisman shop like Fuyuanju, and the shop owner that Bai Shaofeng notified is certainly not just Wei Xingyuan.

"Master Zhou Fu.

Since you can draw finished talismans, I have a request. I hope Master Zhou Fu can agree to it."

Then, Wei Xingyuan hurriedly spoke.

"You say!"

Zhou Changwang nodded.

"If Master Zhou Fu makes finished talismans later, please sell them to me.

Of course, I will not let Master Zhou Fu suffer a loss. The Bai family is willing to pay a 10% premium, so I will pay a 20% premium, of course, only for finished talismans."

Wei Xingyuan said.

"Is it unnecessary?

Boss Wei, you only need to complete his acquisition task, why spend spiritual stones on this?"

Zhou Changwang was stunned and said in surprise.

It's not that he doesn't want to earn more spiritual stones, but Wei Xingyuan is honest and fair in doing business. In addition, he will not hide some news in the market from him, so he still recognizes this person.

"If it's just the Bai family, it's fine.

The key is that there is also the Chen family.

Although no one from the Chen family has come yet, I believe that someone will order them to hand over the spiritual talisman in a short time.

I dare not offend either side, otherwise, let alone after the conflict breaks out, my business will not be able to continue."

Hearing this, Wei Xingyuan said with a bitter face.

This is also the sadness of the bottom cultivators.

Although Wei Xingyuan is the owner of Fuyuanju and has an industry, he is not considered to be at the bottom, but because of this, he is more controlled by others.

The Bai family and the Chen family are both managers of the market, and they have considerable power in the market. He can't stand any one of them.

So, he can only please both sides.

As for joining one?

He doesn't have the qualifications.

If one family controls him, the other family may not necessarily stand up for him.

"Boss Wei, don't worry. If I want to sell the finished talismans I drew, of course I will choose Fuyuanju first.

There is no need to pay a 20% premium. Like the Bai family, a 10% premium will do."

Finally, Zhou Changwang made a promise.

After leaving Fuyuanju, Zhou Changwang quickly changed his appearance and went to several other talisman shops. Of course, he also went to Liufang Pavilion, Bai's Business, and even Shuiyun Pavilion.

Although the price of talismans purchased by big stores is lower, the number of talismans he produced is too large. Almost one talisman paper can make a talisman, so it must be dispersed to sell.

For this reason, he actually reached a cooperative relationship with several talisman shops in another identity.

The last summary.

The talismans he sold this time exchanged for a total of 800 low-grade spirit stones, and this was after deducting the animal skin talisman paper he bought enough.

"Eight hundred low-grade spirit stones are not a small amount.

If you come here a few more times, you can accumulate a lot of spirit stones.

The most important thing is that there is still one unsold of the three first-grade primary golden shield talismans."

Zhou Changwang walked on the street with a calm mind.

It's not that he doesn't want to sell this golden shield talisman.

It's just that the golden shield talisman itself is a mid-grade talisman. It is very likely that a first-grade intermediate talisman maker can draw the corresponding ordinary talisman or fine talisman, but a first-grade primary talisman that is made into a finished grade will definitely attract attention.

After all, there are relatively few talisman makers who can refine a finished grade of mid-grade talisman in the entire Fengmingwu market, and almost all of them have a name.

The sudden appearance of one will naturally attract attention.

If there is no complete means to change the appearance and aura, Zhou Changwang will not rashly sell it.

That's why

Zhou Changwang bought a set of four seasons formations and corresponding formation flags in the Liufang Pavilion. After spending a hundred low-grade spirit stones, he hurried to the casual cultivator market and bought a book on the art of changing appearance and shrinking bones from a cultivator.

This art of changing appearance and shrinking bones is not a spell, but a physical cultivation technique similar to martial arts.

It can fundamentally change the height and face of a cultivator.

It is fundamentally different from the hallucinogenic spell of the art of changing appearance.

Hallucinogenic spells are very easy to be seen through if they encounter a cultivator who has cultivated the spiritual eye technique. However, this art of changing appearance and shrinking bones can directly change the face, height and body shape of a cultivator from the root. Even if one's eyes are divine and can see through all illusions, one cannot see the slightest flaw.

The only drawback.

It is just the cultivator's personal aura.

But locking the aura is a method that only the true cultivators of the foundation-building realm with divine consciousness can possess.

Ordinary cultivators, even if they have practiced Qi at the ninth level, cannot use the aura of the cultivator to judge whether the other party is someone they know.

In the casual cultivator market, there were news everywhere that the performance troupe was about to start.

The information of several performers also spread.

Wu Yuntian, the flying mouse, performed the flying stunt, Zhao Yueqing, the fairy of Qingyue, performed the magic dance, Zhuge Hongyu, the beastmaster, performed the human-snake fight...

Each of them was a great master above the seventh level of Qi training.

Zhou Changwang looked at the North District Square surrounded by a huge black cloth in the distance. It was expected that when the performance began, it would be very lively.

Even if the performance was scheduled at night, there were many people willing to spend spirit stones to watch it.

"The basic ticket is ten low-grade spirit stones.

The front row seats are even as high as one hundred low-grade spirit stones.

VIP seats are not for sale to the public..."

Zhou Changwang just glanced in that direction and left directly.

Compared to the performance, he actually wanted to watch the final battle in the ring.

It is said that two monks with a blood feud in Fang City used the platform of the performing troupe to duel, and a life-and-death contract was signed.

From both sides, only one person can come out of the ring alive.

The surviving party can even get a certain commission from the tickets.

But ten low-grade spiritual stones to watch a show.

Zhou Changwang felt it was too extravagant.

He has not forgotten the days when he worked hard for more than half a year to earn the dozen or so low-grade spiritual stones.

Now that his spirit stone is very tight, he feels that it doesn't matter whether he watches the performance or not.

…

When we returned to the courtyard, it was already dark.

Zhou Changwang hurriedly completed the donation process in the backyard, then returned to the front yard, washed the rice and made rice, then went directly into the talisman room and began the routine of drawing talismans.

Now that we know, the upper-level demand in the city.

Zhou Changwang naturally wouldn't waste time on other ordinary talismans.

Start refining the fireball talisman, thunder and lightning talisman and aura shield talisman with all your strength.

Three kinds of talismans are drawn alternately.

From time to time there would be a flash of inspiration after the magic talisman was made.

And every once in a while, the unique spiritual light of the finished spiritual talisman rises.

Nowadays, Zhou Changwang has about a 10% chance of making the finished talisman when it comes to drawing fireball talismans and thunder and lightning talismans.

Almost equivalent to every ten spiritual talismans drawn, one will be a first-grade primary spiritual talisman.

The probability of this is not low.

Ordinary talisman makers must first ensure the success rate of talisman making, that is, how many pieces of talisman paper can be used to draw a talisman.

Often even experienced first-level mid-level Talisman Makers can maintain at most 50% to 60%, while low-level Talisman Makers can only maintain 10% to 30%.

Then, among the talismans produced, the quality of ordinary talismans must be ensured. If it can be made into high-quality talismans, it will be a small surprise. A first-grade elementary talisman? You have to be lucky.

Most people who successfully make talismans hundreds of times will only make a first-grade elementary talisman once or twice.

This is also the reason why many people have a complicated ritual process before making amulets.

Sometimes, it really takes the God of Destiny's love to make them into finished talismans.

A finished talisman is often three to five times more expensive than a high-quality talisman.

A real comparison of spiritual stone income.

Of course, many Talisman Makers inexplicably believe in metaphysics.

But Zhou Changwang was ten times more powerful than them.

And there is no possibility of failure in making the symbols.

"Unfortunately, the probability of the golden shield talisman being finished is relatively low, only half a percent.

It often takes twenty times of refining to achieve success just once. "

Zhou Changwang thought in his mind, his hands kept moving and turned into a talisman-making machine.

…

The next day, in addition to his daily practice, Zhou Changwang also practiced the bone-disguising skill.

In addition, he had to spend time studying the newly purchased formation catalogue, the Four Seasons Formation.

The Four Seasons Formation is much more complex than the Sound Isolation Formation and the Mist Formation. Although it is far inferior to the Small Spirit Gathering Formation he has been studying, it is still quite difficult to set up.

It took Zhou Changwang three days to finally study and understand this formation. Accordingly, he also arranged this formation in the five acres of spiritual field in the backyard.

In a matter of seconds, under his control, the weather in the backyard can take turns.

If you want to be as warm as spring, you only need to use the formation formula, and the weather will change. If you want to be extremely hot in summer, the formation can immediately simulate the corresponding environment. Even if it is freezing cold outside, you will still sweat if you stand in the formation for a while. Like rain.

Three nights later.

Zhou Changwang had just finished painting talismans for the day and was about to enter the practice room to practice quietly when he saw the sky in the distance suddenly light up.

Then vaguely, a loud noise was heard.

"Where is it, heading towards the North District?

correct.

The performance troupe was performing tonight, but I didn't expect it to be over yet.

It looks pretty lively? "

Zhou Changwang had a look of surprise on his face, but he was not too curious.

He had seen many such performance groups in his previous life. Although the forms were different, they were still the same.

In his opinion, the more people there are, the worse the experience is.

After going there once or twice in his previous life, he no longer bothered to join in the fun. He might as well stay at home and look at the beautiful women and legs...

So, he quickly entered the secret practice room and directly started his daily practice.

A night of silence.

Zhou Changwang woke up the next day and performed three sets of Tianyuan Eight Forms in succession.

With this set of physical training techniques, almost every time he practices, he can feel that his physical body is getting stronger, and the effect will not weaken as the number of times he practices increases.

Because every time he uses it, he is fighting against heaven and earth, using the power of heaven and earth to oppress and strengthen himself.

The stronger the power, the stronger the pressure between heaven and earth, and the better the natural tempering effect.

"In addition, it seems that with every breakthrough, the movements of this physical training technique are also being optimized.

Nowadays, I have practiced the Eight Tianyuan Styles to the level of (Proficiency 197/200).

It is estimated that tomorrow, I will be able to break through to the realm of small success.

By then, the training results will be faster.

But compared to taking those Qi and Blood Pills, the Body Strengthening Pill is much more useful. "

Zhou Changwang was inexplicably looking forward to it.

And he found it too.

Although his qualifications are weak when it comes to Qi training, when it comes to body training, he is a genius and his progress is visible to the naked eye.

At this time, he already felt that his physical strength was not far from the third level of body refining.

I believe that if he completes the Eight Tianyuan Forms tomorrow, his body cultivation realm will inevitably break through to the third level of body refining.

Use a cleansing technique to cleanse yourself.

Zhou Changwang was about to walk to the kitchen when a knock on the door came.

"who?"

Zhou Changwang responded vigilantly.

"Fangshi Guard Captain, Yan Zhenxi."

There was a low shout from outside the door.

"Fangshi Guard Captain Yan Zhenxi?"

Zhou Changwang was stunned, but he had also heard of the name Yan Zhenxi. He was one of the eight guard captains in Fang City, with a sixth level of Qi training.

In fact, the eight major guard captains in Fang City are all at this level, and their combat effectiveness is not weak.

And this Yan Zhenxi, before becoming the captain of the Fang City Guards, was actually a well-known demon hunter in Fengming Wufang City. Zhou Changwang's father had worked in the other party's team for a period of time.

It is said that he is extremely powerful and fair. He is not too harsh on low-level innate 'porters' like his father, and his rewards are quite generous.

However, the sudden arrival of the guard captain still surprised Zhou Changwang. He was also afraid that his fight against the insect killer Xue Tong would be exposed, so he quickly asked: "What is it?"

"You open the door first.

I have something to inform you. "

The other party quickly replied.

Hearing this, Zhou Changwang didn't want to delay any longer, and when he heard that the other party was just announcing matters, he put down his worries and opened the door.

I saw a middle-aged monk standing outside the door. He was wearing a city guard uniform, his eyebrows were slightly thick, and his eyes were sharp. There were only claw marks on his face, which added a bit of ferocity to his body. .

Not far behind him, there was another Fangshi guard who was talking to his neighbor, the tomb-robber monk, ‘Ghost Eye’ Zhao Shanhe.

"I wonder what's the purpose of Captain Yan's visit this time?"

Zhou Changwang asked calmly.

"Last night, several assassinations occurred in Fang City.

A few of them committed chaos and robbery and were beaten to death in public, while others took advantage of the chaos and escaped.

I want to ask you here, did you hear anything last night? "

Yan Zhenxi first explained and then asked.

"Assassination?

Where? "

Zhou Changwang asked in surprise, and then quickly said: "I didn't hear anything. I stayed at home all night and never went out."

"After the performance group ends at night.

By the way, this is the appearance of several tribulation cultivators that someone saw. Please identify them or write them down. If you find any, please report them to us in time.

We will also give a certain reward. "

Yan Zhenxi glanced at Zhou Changwang, and he would not doubt that Zhou Changwang had any connection with the assassin.

In fact, before the investigation, they had 'checked' the rental information in the miscellaneous hall and knew that Zhou Changwang was a native of Fengming Wufang City. He was a spiritual farmer before, with low strength, and would not compete with those people. What is the connection between Jie Xiu and Jie Xiu?

Then, he took out several portraits and displayed them in front of Zhou Changwang.

Zhou Changwang glanced at the three men and one woman, and naturally he didn't recognize any of them.

However, immortal magic monks have countless methods, and it is difficult to guarantee that there are people who have practiced the bone-shrinking skill of disguise, or have used disguise, face-changing, illusion-like magic, and their faces may not be real.

Zhou Changwang shook his head first, and then asked curiously: "How much is this reward?"

"Report the location of the robbery cultivator, and you will be rewarded with one hundred low-grade spiritual stones. If you can kill a robbery cultivator, you will be rewarded with one thousand low-grade spiritual stones."

Yan Zhenxi said something first, then glanced at Zhou Changwang and said, "Forget it, don't join in the fun."

Then, he paused again and said, "Actually, I know your father.

He is considered an innate warrior with considerable ability and ideas.

It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time and had no spiritual roots, otherwise my achievements would never be small.

However, I haven't seen him in several years. When I checked your rental information, I saw his name and remembered such a friend.

How is he doing now? "

"I didn't expect that Captain Yan would still remember my father? My father also mentioned Captain Yan and said that Captain Yan took good care of him when he was in the hunting team.

As for my father, he has now returned to the secular world. He can be regarded as retiring and returning to his hometown to enjoy life. "

Zhou Changwang said something unexpectedly, and then quickly explained.

As for the other party being able to find this information from the rental information, he was not surprised.

The house on the outskirts of Fangshi where he lived before was rented in his father's name. Now that he has changed his residence, he naturally needs to record it in his name.

It is normal for the other party to pay attention to a familiar name when they see it.

"Resigning from old age and returning home?

That's good.

Returning to the secular world is indeed a good choice for him. "

Yan Zhenxi was relieved when he heard this. He was also afraid of hearing the news that his old friend was dead.

"Uncle Yan, I wonder who was assassinated this time? How many died?

If you were an ordinary person, you wouldn't be able to make a big fuss about it, right? "

Zhou Changwang also knew how to borrow a donkey to go uphill, so he quickly changed his name and asked casually.

“Don’t ask if you shouldn’t ask.

In short, don't go out during this period, and don't join in any excitement.

I'm still busy here, so I won't tell you more. "

Yan Zhenxi glared at Zhou Changwang and gave him a reminder.

Then, he hurried away to another house.

At this time, the 'Ghost Eye' Zhao Shanhe on the opposite side also ended his interrogation. At this time, he walked up to Zhou Changwang and said unexpectedly: "I didn't expect that fellow Taoist actually has a relationship with Captain Yan."

Apparently, he also heard Zhou Changwang's cry of 'Uncle Yan'.

However, Zhou Changwang’s own family knew about his family affairs.

That is to say, the other party took the initiative to mention his father, and he had an excuse to establish a relationship. If he really thought that the other party was nostalgic for old feelings, and then rushed to flatter him, he would be unhappy.

After all, his father was just doing some odd jobs in the opponent's team, such as searching for monsters and carrying monster corpses, and was not an official member of the opponent's team.

Without strength, no matter how deep the friendship is, it will fade away.

Of course, on the other hand, if you have strength and a little bit of connection, it will gradually become stronger.

"It's just a little connection between the parents."

Zhou Changwang shook his head lightly and said.

"That's not bad. You have to know that Captain Yan is the strongest among the eight guard captains, and he is also the one among them who is most likely to break through to the seventh level of Qi training.

Once he breaks through, it is very likely that he will take over the position of commander of Renfang City, or at worst, deputy commander.

The strength and potential are not small.

Being able to establish a relationship with the other party, Daoyou Zhou has almost nothing to worry about in this city. "

Zhao Shanhe's face showed a hint of envy at the right time.

Zhou Changwang just looked calm.

What he is more willing to believe is his own strength. What others do has little to do with him.

"By the way, this time, there was a lot of commotion. It seems that there will be another period of unrest in the city."

Seeing that Zhou Changwang did not answer, Zhao Shanhe felt a little embarrassed, then quickly changed the topic and said.

"oh?

What happened this time? "

Zhou Changwang did have some doubts. He asked Yan Zhenxi just now but didn't get an answer. Now that he heard what Zhao Shanhe meant, he seemed to understand, so of course he wanted to ask.

“It’s actually very simple.

There were monks who assassinated some monks after the performance group ended.

However, the identities of those assassinated people are somewhat complicated.

Seven died and thirteen were injured.

They are all from the Bai family.

Immediately after the assassination, another robbery cultivator took the opportunity to cause trouble and killed some low-level cultivators.

This attracted the city guards to start investigating early this morning.

The open inquiry is just the beginning.

There will be no shortage of secret pursuits.

Although the seven members of the Bai family are only junior and intermediate monks, each of them has skills, including two alchemists, two talisman makers, an array master, a spiritual planter, and a weapon refiner.

If such a person dies, the Bai family will suffer huge losses.

It would be strange not to go crazy. "

Zhao Shanhe shook his head and said with emotion.

"I see."

Zhou Changwang also nodded.

Both low-level monks and mid-level monks are easy to cultivate and only require a small amount of resources.

But alchemists, talisman makers, formation masters, spiritual planters, weapon refiners... almost every one of them requires a lot of resources.

In particular, alchemists, weapon refiners and formation masters require ten times the resources to grow up than ordinary monks.

Seven were lost at once.

Even the Bai family would be extremely heartbroken and crazy about it.

"If the city is in chaos, our safety will be difficult to guarantee.

Fellow Daoist Zhou, I think it would be best for us to stay away from the chaotic center of Fangshi for the time being.

I think you should consider my last suggestion.

In this way, I am willing to sign a spiritual contract with you before taking action, and we shall not attack or harm each other.

Then the distribution of benefits is also based on a five-to-five distribution.

The mausoleum of the foundation-building cultivator, the treasures are very precious.

Moreover, I have checked the information and have almost confirmed the identity of the owner of the tomb. The other person is a lonely man, and if there are good things, he will definitely hide them in his tomb..."

Zhao Shanhe sighed, changed the topic, and quickly brought up the past, wanting to invite Zhou Changwang to explore the foundation-building mausoleum with him.

"No interest, farewell!"

Hearing this, Zhou Changwang ignored him, directly cupped his hands, turned around and returned to his yard.
