Immortality

Chapter 73 Dao Yun Eighteen (two chapters in one, please read later)

Hundreds of monks gathered together.

The last time Fang Sheng saw such a grand scene was when the He family besieged the Zheng family.

He was not interested in the spiritual land, just some spiritual herbs growing there.

Lingshi can buy it.

Until another piece of news came:
"Fellow Taoists, please be careful. There are purple electric sharks lurking around that sacred place. They have been alarmed. Don't go into the water easily!"

Upon hearing this news, the other cultivators who had not yet set out were all startled.

Fang Sheng's eyes lit up.

He thought about it for a moment, then changed his mind and decided to follow with his flying weapon.

'Although there are many monks, their primary goal is to fight for spiritual land.'

"I am only looking for the purple electric shark in the periphery, and we have nothing to do with each other... Now that the third reincarnation has been found, it will be fine as long as I am cautious."

"rise!"

Fang Sheng walked with his imperial pen, stepping on the set of black soul needles that Master Li Fu had used.

So many years have passed.

Even if someone had seen it at the time, it would be impossible to pursue anything.

Flying over 200 miles with the wind.

Along the way, many cultivators started flying at high speeds, like thousands of lightning bolts whizzing past.

These people were there to steal things, so it's normal for them to be anxious.

Fang Sheng took the initiative to avoid it, pressed down the altitude, and maintained a normal speed above the lake.

The magic power in his body has also been maintained in a perfect state, leaving no chance for some robbery cultivators who try to take advantage of the situation.

There were dozens of other people who made the same decision as him, flying over the lake at a steady pace.

Continue flying for more than 200 miles.

Many human figures can be seen on the horizon.

They were all monks from the market town who had just arrived in a hurry, and they were all taking pills and regulating their breathing.

……

Fang Sheng looked around and found that the situation was very different from what he had imagined.

Not only did no monks rush into the water to grab things, but the scene was quite orderly.

The crowd was vaguely divided into two groups in the air.

There are many independent practitioners in the market town, but they are scattered.

One faction is the Chen family, which has only about forty people. They seem to control the surrounding upper and lower airspaces. They have strict discipline and show the embryonic form of the family's combat tactics.

Fang Sheng took a quick look and found quite a few familiar faces.

Among the wandering cultivators, there was a familiar figure.

It was Ao Yueru.

She was wearing a white veil and the long sword beside her made trembling sounds from time to time, which made her quite eye-catching among the casual cultivators.

It seems to have arrived early.

The two were not far apart, only about ten feet.

What surprised Fang Sheng even more was that even the leader of the Chen family was an acquaintance.

It turned out to be the old Taoist who had killed Zhou Yan.

Fang Sheng cast his gaze towards him and noticed the Taoist badge on the old Taoist's waist.

His name was "Golden Sword", and it was obvious that he was a gold-type sword cultivator.

Although he is over 70 years old, his aura is extremely powerful. His muscles and bones have been honed for many years, like black iron that has been hammered a thousand times, emitting a faint precious light, at least at the level of a precious body.

If the bonus from the Savage Rhino Taoist Fruit was removed, his current level of physical refinement would still be far behind that of this old Taoist.

Opposite to the Taoist priest Jin Jian.

There were also three people who stood out among the independent cultivators, holding three kinds of weapons: swords, axes and knives. They had rough faces and powerful auras. They were rare independent cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Under this situation.

It would be a bad idea to go into the water to look for the purple electric shark, otherwise it would definitely be considered as someone trying to steal a spiritual place and everyone would attack it.

Fang Sheng suppressed his restlessness and listened to the words of the monks around him.

Soon I understood.

The three cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage just now were quite famous among the independent cultivators and were called the "Three Eagles of Deep Lake".

He can easily gather nearly a hundred people around him, known as the Three Eagles Gang, and is the largest independent cultivator force around Shenhu.

Among the independent cultivators at the scene, many were members of the Three Eagles Gang.

Hear this.

Fang Sheng suddenly had an idea.

He has experienced worldly life and is more sensitive to power than the independent cultivators who are always on the run and at the bottom of the world of immortal cultivation.

The He family of Taoyun Mountain regards the Deep Lake as their own fishing ground, and it is likely that it can no longer accommodate the so-called Three Eagles of the Deep Lake.

Plus the purple electric shark appeared here...

Tsk!
Fang Sheng silently stepped back a distance and protected the others in front of him.

as predicted.

Just less than half an incense stick.

A ray of azure sword light, like water reaching the sky, roared in from afar.

The aura he exuded along the way was frightening.

"What happened?"

The sword light stopped in the void, and an equally familiar figure appeared.

Master He!
Compared to his previous gentle and polite appearance, there was a hint of coldness between his brows at this moment.

There were more than a dozen people following closely behind.

They are the He family law enforcement team in the market town. They are very powerful and all of them are in the middle and late stages of Qi training!

……

As soon as Master He appeared.

Fang Sheng frowned immediately, having already guessed his intention.

There is no other reason except the Purple Electric Shark and the Mitaka Gang.

In the field, the rugged-looking Mitaka Shenhu stood there for a long time.

I can’t figure out why the He family would appear here?
The Chen family's Taoist master Jin Jian is still the smartest.

He was the first to say hello and took the initiative to explain the whole story.

It's nothing more than a dispute over who discovered the sacred land first, and everyone has their own story.

One listen to this.

Members of the Sanying Gang spoke out one after another, accusing the Chen family of turning the tables.

After listening to this, Master He glanced around coldly and uttered a nasal sound:
"Humph!"

"Everyone, go away. This is not a good place for you!"

The sound was like a sword, spreading in all directions and shaking the five elements spiritual power within a hundred feet radius.

It turned out to be a great magic spell!
Fang Sheng couldn't help but frown and groaned.

He was only in the middle stage of Qi Refining. If his physical strength had not reached the Golden Body level, he would probably not be able to withstand it easily.

Many independent cultivators felt a stinging pain on their faces, as if a sharp sword had cut through them, stirring up the magic power in their bodies. Many of them vomited blood on the spot.

Ao Yueru, who was nearby, also had a trace of blood on her veil.

"The dual methods of gold and water, the Qi training is perfect, and the body training realm is probably not bad either..."

Fang Sheng looked at the magical aura faintly emerging around Master He and confirmed this man's cultivation level.

The person who was sent to manage Shenhu Market is indeed an elite of the He family.

The independent cultivators of the Three Eagles Gang seemed to want to argue about the ownership of the spiritual land.

But this argument is completely meaningless.

Fang Sheng had already noticed that Master He and the Taoist Master Jin Jian had vaguely surrounded the Three Eagles of Deep Lake.

Mitaka has a rough mind, but has experienced many battles.

He was extremely sensitive to such dangerous signals and his face began to stiffen.

The other cultivators from the Chen and He families had even moved to new locations without them noticing...

The situation changed so quickly, in a blink of an eye.

'It's time to withdraw!'

With Master He present, the risk is too great.

Fang Sheng planned to abandon this purple electric shark and find another cluster...

at the same time.

Ao Yueru also pulled herself out of the crowd.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, were almost the first among the cultivators to choose to retreat.

The next moment, the voices of the Three Eagles of Deep Lake spread in all directions:
"The birdmen from these families want to monopolize the spiritual land and kill people!"

"Everyone, follow me and grab it!"

"Grab as much as you can!"

boom!
The words of the three people were like a key that unlocked the greed in everyone's hearts.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

A large number of water magic practitioners rushed into the water and rushed madly towards the spiritual place at the bottom of the lake.

The Chen family monks and the He family's law enforcement team reacted immediately and tried to stop them:

"Be bold!"

shhhhhh!
Above the lake, there was magical light everywhere, and almost no one could escape.

Even if Fang Sheng retreated early, a sword energy would come from behind to cut him.

The one chasing after him was the cultivator from the He family, who was very aggressive and had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"Humph!"

Fang Sheng snorted coldly, then swung out a water blade at high speed.

The He family cultivator showed a look of disdain and was about to dodge, but suddenly he saw the water blade change.

In a flash, it turned into a giant python, extending a full seven or eight feet in the air!

It suddenly appeared in front of him, opened its huge mouth and swallowed him.

puff!
There was a muffled sound.

The water python twisted slightly, and the huge pressure directly crushed the He family cultivator in its belly, causing his internal organs to shatter and his limbs to break.

Stained with human blood, the water python suddenly turned blood red...

"team leader!"

Behind him, he heard screams from other He family cultivators, and some even wanted to rush over to seek revenge.

It was not until he saw the giant blood-red python with its bloodshot eyes that he suddenly came to his senses.

There were constant attacks from other monks behind him, and he was suddenly overwhelmed by them.

Seeing this, Fang Sheng stopped fighting.

He waved his hand to take the monk's relics from the blood python, and then left...

...an hour later.

Deep Lake Market.

In the quiet room of the cave.

Fang Sheng adjusted his breathing slightly to make sure that he had not left any loopholes.

Then he took out a piece of azure jade slip, his eyes were gloomy:
"A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise."

"The purple electric sharks around the spiritual land were seized by the He family..."

"But now I can also intercept the He family's purple electric shark..."

The original owner of this jade slip was the He family cultivator who was killed by him.

Just now, he changed his appearance and skills several times, and followed other cultivators back to the market town.

Then, he returned to the cave silently.

He took out the jade slip and studied it immediately.

There was only a simple map and a number of red dots marked on the jade slip.

Nothing else.

Fang Sheng was also confused at first.

Until he found out.

The outline of the map is exactly the same as the Deep Lake, and the locations corresponding to those red dots are all within the Deep Lake...

"I'm afraid that what's recorded here are all the purple electric shark swarms discovered by the He family!"

“There are as many as ten places!”

"No wonder this jade slip was carefully preserved by that person in a separate storage bag."

It's about the Purple Electric Shark, and it's indeed important information for the He family...

If you don’t reach a certain level, you can’t access it at all.

With this information, I won’t have to spend time looking for the purple electric shark anymore!
Fang Sheng took out a blank jade slip, copied the contents inside, and then completely destroyed the original.

Except for this jade slip.

The several magical weapons used by the He family cultivators also fell into his hands.

However, these magical instruments may have tracking capabilities.

Fang Sheng had already discarded them all halfway.

……

The next day.

The atmosphere in the market town was somewhat heavy.

Fang Sheng was not in a hurry to look for the purple electric shark.

Now that the He family has lost the jade slip, they will definitely guard the place closely for a while. It would be best to wait until the storm has passed before going.

He left the cave and came to the Zheng family alchemy workshop.

It was easy to find out the details from Ao Yueru.

After he left.

The battle between the monks from all sides lasted all night.

Originally, the He family only planned to target the independent practitioners of the Three Eagles Gang.

But the three eagles of Shenhu interfered in advance, and when a melee involving hundreds of people broke out, it was impossible to handle it at all.

You can only beat whoever you see.

Among them, there were some robber cultivators who took advantage of the situation and launched continuous sneak attacks from the periphery.

Later on, the independent cultivators became so bloodthirsty that they had to kill each other, and it was only the He family's law enforcement team that stepped in to stop them.

As for the Deep Lake Trio...

Ao Yueru sighed:
"Master He and Chen Jinjian fought with the three eagles for half the night, fighting for a hundred miles, and finally worked together to take off the heads of the three of them..."

Fang Sheng was quite surprised by this result.

As a casual cultivator, Sanying was able to fight with two family elites for such a long time.

No wonder they were able to form a Sanying Gang of hundreds of people, they really have some skills.

He continued to ask:
"Where is that piece of top-grade spiritual land?"

"Of course, they belonged to the Qi Refining Chen family. They also lost several members in the melee..."

As a veteran in the market, Ao Yueru knew everything about what happened last night.

Fang Sheng asked indirectly and soon found out the losses of the He family's law enforcement team.

"Last night, the He family lost a total of three people."

"One of them was killed by an unknown water magician, and the other two died in the melee..."

After hearing this, Fang Sheng understood.

Aside from the water magic cultivators, the He family did not have any characteristics of their own.

However, this characteristic of the water-based monk is the most meaningless.

Just as Fang Sheng expected.

The next month.

There was no movement within the He family, and not even a wanted warrant was issued.

Obviously, he also understood that it would be impossible to find the murderer in the melee.

Moreover, the role played by the He family in this matter was not glorious.

If it weren't for its huge power, it would have been full of criticism.

In contrast, the reputation of the Qi Refining Chen family suddenly became ruined.

The independent cultivators were all cursing what the Chen family had done.

It just doesn't have any effect at all.

The Chen family didn't care either. After all, their reputation wasn't very good to begin with.

What's more, this time we got a first-grade superior spiritual land.

The spiritual medicine inside alone is worth nearly ten thousand spiritual stones.

In the next few years, the Chen family will focus here and will have no time to take care of other things.

Other than that, there are no changes.

The market town gradually returned to calm.

On the contrary, the discovery of a first-class spiritual land has triggered another wave of exploration enthusiasm...

……

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

After making sure everything has calmed down.

Fang Sheng quietly came to the shore of the deep lake and took out the jade slip of the map he had copied.

"The He family is still exploring ways to tame the purple electric shark."

"The waters that the purple electric shark needs to survive are quite vast, so it is unlikely that the He family will relocate the purple electric shark..."

Fang Sheng used his supernatural powers and walked silently into the water.

Then head towards the first location in the first map.

After more than a hundred miles.

A subtle wave came, and there was a familiar feeling.

Fang Sheng's eyebrows jumped, and a look of joy appeared on his face:

"Is this... the detection formation used to block the Purple River when the He family besieged the Zheng family?!"

This formation can detect the fluctuations of spiritual power in the surrounding area.

As long as the monk uses spells.

Even if it is a highly accomplished spell, it will still be detected.

The fact that the He family installed a formation at the bottom of the lake actually proves that the map is reliable!
Although the water-repelling ability will not emit spiritual power fluctuations.

Fang Sheng still chose to move forward cautiously, avoiding several traps and tests along the way.

Half an hour later.

A familiar figure suddenly appeared before his eyes:
"Purple electric shark!"

Ahead, several purple electric sharks were swimming in the water, looking very uncomfortable.

……

Above the lake.

A huge ship is anchored.

Several He family monks were drinking and gambling with each other under the cover of night.

The air was filled with the smell of spirit wine.

hiss!
Suddenly, a dazzling flash appeared in the water, which was still clearly visible even though the water was hundreds of feet deep.

"What happened to the purple electric shark down there?"

A drunk man looked into the water in a trance.

"What's so strange about this? The purple electric shark is just hunting."

"This is your first time here today, and you are not familiar with this kind of water monster. There is nothing to be surprised about."

Hear this.

The drunk took a look at the formation plate in his hand and indeed found nothing unusual.

I felt relieved immediately.

"It seems that I still need to learn from the big brothers..."

"Come on, come on, have another drink!"

On the boat, several people continued to clink glasses under the moonlight.

In the blink of an eye, the moon sets and the sun rises.

It was already morning.

"Big brother!"

A scream woke up several people on the boat.

"what happened?"

"what happens?"

"I, I just went into the water to take a look!"

"All the purple electric sharks under the water have run away!"

"what?"

"What should I do now?"

"Quickly inform the abbot!"

There was a sudden chaos on the huge ship.

……

At the same moment, just hundreds of miles away.

In the Shenhu Market.

Fang Sheng looked at the green lotus in his palm, a smile appeared on his lips:
"Eighteen strands of Dao rhyme..."

　Damn, I made a detailed outline, from one point to six points, and I wanted to update it earlier.
