Chapter 1434 Fishing for the Moon in the Water

The black-robed monk in the sky stared down. From his slightly raised sleeve, a finger as thin as a bamboo joint slowly stretched out...

When all the villagers below saw it, they were all frightened to death.

They actually opened their mouths forcibly under the extreme cold emanating from the other party, and in the midst of a cold war, they begged for mercy.

Amidst the sounds of begging for mercy, Wu Lei also shouted urgently.

"Sir...Sir, please spare your life, please spare your life...I don't know when I inspired Fu Yan!"

We are willing to dedicate this year's harvest of 'Soul Crystal Buds' to your lord. We...we really didn't issue a 'reward charm', really not! "

In his desperation, he spoke a little more fluently at this time.

The man in black robes in the air was unmoved by the pleadings of the people below. Just when his fingers were about to click, he heard Wu Lei's topic again, and his movements immediately sluggish.

"My lord, my lord, the 'soul crystal buds' here are all given to you, all given to you! We really sent out the 'reward charm' unintentionally, unintentionally!

Lying about this kind of thing will only lead to the crime of beheading the young ones, and it will not do any good. Please be aware of it, please be aware of it..."

After seeing the man in black robe hesitate, Wu Lei quickly cried and begged again.

The face of the man in black robe was still gloomy, but his voice came out again.

"Oh? Is it the 'Soul Crystal Bud' that is about to mature for twenty years?"

"Yes, Master Immortal, we were able to harvest it four days ago, but we originally wanted to grow it for a while. This can be considered an apology from the little people."

The man in black robe is already a middle-stage golden elixir monk, and "soul crystal buds" of this age are actually not a good thing for him.

However, the "soul crystal sprouts" that have reached the minimum maturity age are still useful to the successors of his disciples. The daily consumption of his faction is also very huge.

In your daily practice, don’t buy anything. Everything needs to be spent.

In order to make the mortals work for them, the Shangzong also protected them greatly. There were also strict rules and regulations for monks to purchase the "soul crystal buds" they planted from mortals.

If anyone dares to force the purchase, no matter what your level of cultivation is, you will be severely punished without hesitation.

Such harsh measures made these mortals willing to take risks and go to some rare places to find special "crystal smoke places".

Then, after planting "soul crystal buds", they can exchange for the immortality elixir they need.

No matter how many pills these mortals swallow, they will eventually die at around four hundred years old because they cannot swallow the spiritual energy of the earth, heaven and earth on their own. But who doesn't want to live longer?

However, the elixirs that can usually be sold to mortals are not the ones that can extend one's life by a dozen or a hundred years at a time, but the ones that can only extend one's life by five or ten years at a time.

Only in this way can they work until they are at least two or three hundred years old before they can retire with peace of mind.

One reason for this approach is to make mortals work more, and another reason is that the higher the grade of the elixir, the more powerful the medicinal power contained in it.

If a mortal wants to grow fifty or a hundred years, he may "stretch" himself to death after eating it!

The man in black robe had guessed before that the group of young and strong mortals who appeared here might have planted the "soul crystal buds" here.

It's just that he cares about the foreign monk, and that is the big target he wants to hunt.

Moreover, he didn't know whether the "soul crystal buds" here were mature, and he didn't dare to lower the price to force a purchase.

Even when he had murderous intentions just now, he never thought of getting the "Soul Crystal Buds" here after killing people.

If the person who planted the "Soul Crystal Sprout" is killed, someone will definitely investigate the reason. If one of them fails, he will lose a lot.

Now that he heard that the other party gave it to him for free, the man in black robe was certainly willing, so that he could save another sum of spiritual stones.

"Take me to see it!"

The man in black robe didn't say much. He wanted to see how many "Soul Bud Crystals" the other party had planted here.

"Then Master Immortal, please come with me!"

After Wu Lei and others heard each other's words, it was like hearing the sound of nature, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.

But after surviving the disaster, their hearts began to contract, and they even felt that their brains were congested with blood.

This is the case for all intelligent creatures. When death comes, they are willing to use whatever they can to exchange for it. But as soon as the crisis is over, they will remember the price they paid and feel distressed.

Wu Lei took a deep breath and could only stand up and walk in one direction towards the village behind. The other villagers only dared to stay where they were and wait.

The man in black robe also moved accordingly, like a group of suspended ghosts in the night, silently

Zhong followed behind Wu Lei.

But what he didn't notice was that there was a figure that he couldn't detect at all, which had been standing here before. After he finished talking to Wu Lei, he left here first.

Wu Lei led the way with a look of gratitude on his face.

There are several rows of uneven houses in the village. These houses are basically made of huge bluestones, but at this time, the entire village is empty.

After the two walked for a while in the village, Wu Lei finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous house.

From the outside, this house is only two or three feet in size. There is only one door and one window. The window is open next to the door, but it is closed tightly.

The door is big enough for two people to pass through side by side. It is made of a kind of black oily wood, which gives people a very solid feeling.

"Sir, this is it! Please be careful, it's a little uneven inside!"

When Wu Lei looked up, a flattering smile appeared on his face. He knew that these immortals would not care about the light or darkness, but he still said it in a flattering manner.

In fact, his heart was already bleeding non-stop. He had said before that he would provide all the "Soul Crystal Buds" to the other party, but after having a chance to survive, he had changed his mind later.

In Wu Lei's heart, he felt that this black-robed man was really greedy and actually wanted to come to the field to take a look. This meant that he was worried about him and wanted to take the pot with him.

This immortal master did not let him bring other people with him. If they harvested at a normal speed, it would take three or four days for them to harvest this piece of land together.

Now it is obvious that the other party wants to harvest it himself, which means he will not leave anything for himself.

However, fortunately, there are three "crystal smoke fields" in this village, and this one is the largest one. There are two smaller ones, but he will not take the other party over.

For his own benefit, Wu Lei is also fighting hard at this moment, but he also has a backup plan.

Among these three "crystal smoke lands", except for the "soul bud crystal" here that has matured, the other two lands were discovered one after another, and the years of planting "soul bud crystals" are seventeen and nineteen years respectively.

I just said that I would give them all to the other party. As long as the other party knows the real situation here, then these things must be given away in the next few years.

Now he started to pretend to be confused. It would be best if the other party didn't know. If he knew, he would say that he must have given the mature one first.

After Wu Lei gave a warning, he immediately opened the door and walked in first.

This room was empty, with nothing, but there was a passage leading to the underground in the middle. After the two entered the room, they walked directly to the bottom of the passage.

The passage was a slanted ramp, with stairs extending all the way down.

There was no candlelight below, but there was some soft white light reflected upward from the ground below, which made it seem not too dark here.

After the two walked down for about ten feet, the stairs ended here.

Looking around here, there was a space of five acres underground, which was cultivated into ridges, very neatly, like a field.

But what was planted here was not any agricultural products, but on the originally dark ground, every one foot away, there would be a strip of bluish-white luminous things standing on the soil.

It was these bluish-white luminous things that made this place and the stairs above not seem dark.

Each strip of bluish-white thing was about seven or eight inches in size, as thick as two fingers, and shaped like a crystal ice cone, with a night-shining pearl placed inside, emitting a soft light.

Under these long bluish-white things, there were black rhizomes rooted in the soil, surrounded by dark thin leaves, clustering each long bluish-white thing in the middle.

On the surface of the five acres of land, there is a layer of crystals like broken ice scattered on the soil.

They do not emit light themselves, but with the help of the light of those long blue-white objects, they also reflect a faint light.

At the same time, there are fine mists flowing on these broken ice crystals, which makes a thin layer of mist appear on the entire ground.

"Sir, do you think these "Soul Crystal Buds" are pretty good!"

After Wu Lei stood still, he quickly turned sideways, bowed slightly, and said to the black-robed man who was looking at the flashing light, a large area of ​​"Soul Crystal Buds".

"Well, not bad! They have grown to seven to eight inches in size, which is considered mature!"

The black-robed man nodded slightly.

"Soul Crystal Buds" mature at six inches, and it is best to grow to thirteen inches, but

after ten inches, the growth rate will drop sharply.

At that time, even if Wu Lei encountered a situation like today, he probably wouldn't be willing to give them all away for free.

Moreover, the growth time after ten inches is calculated in hundreds of years, and the life span of a generation of mortals cannot live that long.

Therefore, when mortals plant "Soul Crystal Buds", they basically use 60% of the "Soul Crystal Buds" as crops that are harvested every twenty years.

The remaining 40% is to be continuously cultivated, and then sold after the "Soul Crystal Buds" grow to ten inches, which will be a crazy fortune.

Similarly, they will keep some "Soul Crystal Buds" for their descendants to collect.

In this way, as long as it is not a newly opened "Crystal Smoke Land", there will be some "Soul Crystal Buds" with a lifespan of more than sixty years.

Seven or eight-inch "Soul Crystal Buds" are used to make pills and medicines, which is not bad.

The black-robed man did not want to delay time here. Since these are all mature "Soul Crystal Buds", why should he be polite.

He immediately raised his hands and waved forward at the same time, and the "Soul Crystal Buds" on the ground shook and fell off from the rhizomes one after another.

The next moment, like shooting stars chasing the moon, they all gathered towards the black-robed man.

These "soul crystal buds" shining with bluish-white light disappeared one after another as soon as they touched the black-robed man's large cuffs.

Seeing all this in front of him, Wu Lei felt that his whole state was not good.

Although he had been mentally prepared, he watched the ground below getting darker and darker, and the "soul crystal buds" entered the "pocket" of the black-robed man one by one.

Wu Lei felt that his whole body was continuing to collapse, and his heart felt like blood was spurting out.

They spent countless days and nights cultivating these bit by bit, but in just an instant, they became someone else's.

But fortunately, this process did not last long. It took them several days to harvest the five acres of land. In the hands of the black-robed man, all the "soul crystal buds" on the land disappeared in a few breaths.

This made Wu Lei less dizzy and reduced the long-term psychological torture.

After collecting the "Soul Crystal Buds", the man in black robe immediately turned around and left, ignoring Wu Leili at all.

But when he took a few steps up the stairs, he suddenly felt dizzy, and he was shocked.

Although he didn't know what happened, he immediately activated the mana in his body, but he was shocked to find that his mana had become extremely slow.

All his strength seemed to have been drained away in this short period of time, and even using his soul power became extremely difficult.

He barely held on to the wall. In his dizziness, he felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, his strength was passing away rapidly, and the scene in front of him was already a little blurry.

"poisoned!"

This was a thought that came to his mind, and he immediately turned his head with all his strength and looked at Wu Lei with murderous intent in his eyes.

"You despicable bastard, how dare you plot against your immortal master..."

A low growl came from his mouth, but he stopped talking immediately.

Under the dim light, he saw that the mortal village chief had fallen to the ground, and he did not know whether to live or die.

But beside him, another vague figure appeared.

The man in black robe could be considered an experienced person. The moment he saw the blurry figure, without hesitation, his eyes suddenly focused and an invisible attack was directed towards the opponent.

After he launched this attack, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength and slowly fell down against the wall.

The dark figure below was also looking at the man in black robe above.

Suddenly, he flashed to one side as he felt something on his mind, and a shadowless attack grazed his body, flew back, and then disappeared into the void.

"Huh? Soul attack, this... this is soul... soul cultivation!"

The man sensed a turbulence in his soul. Although he was not attacked, he was still affected.

At the same time, his soul naturally felt a sense of danger, and he couldn't help but whisper to himself in surprise.

Listening to this voice, it is none other than Li Yan!

He controlled people like Wu Lei just to make the other party relax their vigilance and then set up an ambush.

After Li Yan was just surprised, he immediately walked towards the man in black robe who had fallen on the steps. He had a pale face and looked at Li Yan with somewhat distracted eyes.

"The evil...evil spirit monk, indeed...is indeed evil-minded, and he has also used...his hands and feet...on mortals..."

Li Yan looked at the other party's face, and he no longer hesitated. With the magic power in his hand, he no longer cared about consuming his spiritual consciousness.

This situation is laid out just for the sake of

He lured the monks to see if he could be captured alive, and then searched for the soul, so that he could get more information.

And just when the magic power surged in Li Yan's hand, his expression suddenly changed, the magic formula in his hand changed, and a finger wind hit the man in black robe.

But the next moment, Li Yan's face became extremely ugly.

His seal was still a little late. A stream of black blood flowed from the corner of the black-robed monk's mouth, and his head hung heavily to the side.

Although Li Yan's poison prevented the other party from using his magic power, he never expected that the other party could still use his soul power in such a weak state.

Li Yan's speed was actually fast enough, and he only had time to get to the opponent's side before he chose to commit suicide.

It's not Li Yan's fault. He really didn't know that his fragmentary poison had injured the man in black robe to such an extent and that he could still use other powers.

This was the first time he had truly faced a soul cultivator, and his previous experience of facing enemies had gone awry at this moment.

Li Yan pressed his palm directly on the opponent's head, and a burst of mana instantly entered the body...

After a moment, Li Yan withdrew his palm expressionlessly.

The other party's soul was completely destroyed, and even the golden elixir shattered in his body and turned into a gray bead. Li Yan didn't know if he could step into the reincarnation of heaven after this kind of soul disappeared. This person also did it to him. Hateful enough.

Li Yan immediately began to check the other party. He had secretly seen before that the man in black robe could easily communicate with the stored magic weapon.

From such a long distance, all the "soul crystal buds" were collected into the big sleeves.

After inspection, Li Yan found a black jade bracelet on the wrist of the man in black robe, which seemed to belong to the immortal family.

Li Yan didn't find anything else on the man in black robe, so this black jade bracelet was special. After he took it off, he immediately used his spiritual consciousness.

But even if Li Yan used all the power of his spiritual consciousness, he couldn't communicate with him at all.

"Does this require the use of soul power?"

Li Yan guessed the reason after just one try.

However, he felt relieved because of this. If he could really open it with his spiritual consciousness or sense something abnormal about this bracelet, then Li Yan would be a little afraid of this place.

If he can't use his spiritual consciousness, but others can access here unimpeded, then his death will only happen sooner or later.

"From the mana remaining in this person's body, the other party is only a cultivator in the Jindan realm. Calculate the time he arrived and the approximate flying speed.

The sect he belongs to should be at least 7,000 miles away from here. The death of this person will soon arouse the suspicion of the sect he belongs to, and he must leave now."

Li Yan thought of this, and he casually ejected two fireballs. The two people on the ground instantly burst into flames, and in just a flash, they completely disappeared from this world.

Afterwards, Li Yan immediately left here and quietly appeared in the open space in front of the village.

After he ejected fireballs again and again, the remaining villagers in the village were whispering and waiting for Wu Lei and the black-robed man to appear.

It's a pity that they disappeared between heaven and earth without even screaming.

Even the remaining three women with good looks, Li Yan didn't even frown when he killed them.

When these people were questioned by him before, the psychedelic spells cast on them were removed as soon as he finished questioning, so as not to be discovered by the later cultivators.

Then, Li Yan planted slave marks in their bodies. As long as the newcomers cannot use their spiritual sense, it will be difficult to find out the problem.

So everyone in the village was forced to say what they said after seeing the black-robed man.

They would not have any aversion or resistance to Li Yan's orders. Everything was based on Li Yan as God.

Now that the black-robed man was dead, Li Yan could only kill everyone in the village. He was unwilling to waste time, as he would have to put these people into the "spot" and then modify their memories.

This method of eliminating traces is the most thorough!

After Li Yan identified the direction, he decided to continue flying in the direction he had planned. Since he wanted to find out the news here, he would definitely find a place where living beings gathered.

But only through the information obtained from these mortals, it was already known that this place hated foreign cultivators.

Moreover, although there would be other cultivators coming here later, they came with a vigilant heart.

So, Li Yan immediately used his invisibility ability and quickly merged into the void...

Soon after Li Yan left the village, two black-robed monks suddenly arrived. Both of them were Yuanying-level monks.

After they stayed in the village for half a cup of tea, they split up and left!
