My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 135 Conspiracy
"Tens of thousands of spirit stones of wealth are held in the hands of a mere Qi Refining Stage 7 kid?!"

"That's absolutely true! My spyglass was crafted from the eye of someone born with heterochromia, allowing me to see a person's cultivation level without them even noticing! There's no mistake about it!"

"Although that kid used a concealment technique, he is still only at the seventh level of Qi Refining!"

"And I saw that kid enter the city gate with my own eyes; he was alone."

"That kid went up to the second floor of the Myriad Spirits Pavilion and spent 11,000 spirit stones to buy twenty Azure Jade Pills!"

"Brother, over ten thousand spirit stones! That's more than all the wealth of a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator! This is an unprecedented opportunity!"

"We absolutely cannot let such a fat sheep slip through our fingers!"

"Even if that kid exchanged all the spirit stones for Jade Pills, Jade Pills are still a hot-selling item. As long as they are transported to other major cultivation cities and sold, he can earn at least eight or nine thousand spirit stones!"

"With these spirit stones, you can buy Breakthrough Pills to improve your cultivation level, and we can also share the benefits!"

in the darkness,

Several shadowy figures were talking.

Some voices were urgent, urging the leader to make a decision.

The atmosphere in the dark space

Everything became somewhat heated at this moment.

"Wait, let me think about it."

"It's not that I'm not tempted, but there's probably something fishy going on here!"

"A deal worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, and they actually dared to let a mere Qi Refining Stage 7 expert handle it? How is that possible? Shouldn't they at least send a peak Stage 8 or even Stage 9 expert?"

"Maybe this is a trap, bait someone is using to lure us out!"

"We must be wary of this!"

The leader hesitated for a moment.

This is because it really doesn't make sense.

Such a fortune of tens of thousands of spirit stones is something that many old guys at the ninth level of Qi Refining could probably only manage to save up to ten thousand spirit stones even after spending half their lives.

Such a huge fortune, and it's actually in the hands of a mere Qi Refining Stage 7 kid?

What's the difference between this and letting a child carry a gold brick and cause trouble?!

Could it really be a fishing trip?!
He had previously received some information that the Myriad Spirits Pavilion was somewhat dissatisfied with the existence of their group and had recently pressured the city lord to clean up the hidden cultivators in the vicinity.

To regulate the trading order and attract more cultivators to trade.

This would allow them to amplify the voice of Wanlingge and increase their operating revenue.

The leader had no idea what the city lord's reaction was or what specific plans he had.

However, he had already sensed the danger and decided to lie low for the time being and weather the storm first.

But now,
A deal worth tens of thousands of spirit stones was blatantly presented before our eyes.

He couldn't help but be tempted.

Could it really be a bait trap?

The leader hesitated.

"Big brother, don't overthink it!"

“I recommended the black market in the city to that kid, but he said he had urgent business to attend to and would leave as soon as he was done, so he didn’t have time to go to the black market.”

"This is clearly a nouveau riche who took a chance. Maybe he was lucky enough to inherit the legacy of his predecessor's cave dwelling from who-knows-where, made a fortune and got a large sum of spirit stones, and then thought he would secretly buy the pills and leave quietly, thinking that he wouldn't attract anyone's attention."

"If you're going to fish, you'd definitely need to stay in the city for a few days to let the news spread as much as possible to attract fish. That kid only rented a room in the city for one night. Why would someone be in such a hurry to fish?!"

"And boss, since that kid was able to take out 11,000 spirit stones to buy a top-quality pill like the Azure Jade Pill, he must have even more spirit stones on him!"

"If we catch that kid and force him to reveal the wealth behind him, wouldn't we make even more money?!"

"To be able to take out 11,000 spirit stones without batting an eye, one's wealth is probably far greater than that!"

At this point, a glint appeared in the man's eyes in the darkness, revealing an expression of extreme greed.

At the same time,

The others around them also became excited, their greedy eyes gleaming as they looked at their leader.

"Boss! Let's make a move! He's only at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Even if Second Brother goes alone, with his eighth-level strength, he can take him down in just a few moves!"

"Even if it's bait, we'll kill them and leave immediately. I don't believe those cowards can catch us!"

"Yes! Brother! Tens of thousands of spirit stones! We might not even get this much benefit after doing five or six deals normally! Let's get started!"

The others tried to persuade him.

in the darkness,

The leader's face hardened, and he suddenly made up his mind.

"Alright! No one gets rich without windfall gains, so let's go for it!"

However, although I had made up my mind...
However, he was not blinded by greed and lost his reason.

"However, this time we must have a complete plan!"

"Tonight, we'll first determine the ambush location and rule out the possibility of ambushes in the surrounding area. Fifth Brother, you're in charge of tracking that kid's movements and notifying us as soon as he leaves the city!"

"This time, you, Second Brother, will lead the men and take charge. I'll personally go outside the city and keep watch for you!"

"You must end the battle as quickly as possible, within three to five breaths, and leave immediately after you've captured them!"

"If it really is bait, and someone attacks from inside the city, I will stop them and buy you some time. Don't delay too long!"

After some discussion,
The group discussed and finalized their plan.

"strangeness."

The rooms inside the inn

Shen Changchuan fell into deep thought, recalling everything that had happened that day.

Since leaving the Myriad Spirits Pavilion,

He vaguely sensed that a pair of eyes were watching him from the shadows.

However, when he focused his mind and tried to find that gaze, he was unsuccessful.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Si and the others' warnings were not unfounded."

"The information must have been leaked; someone's watching me!"

Shen Chang's expression turned somewhat serious.

This is not a good thing for him.

He didn't know who the other party was, nor did he know the strength of the enemy.

The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light.

It’s not easy to deal with!
Fortunately,

He has a little breeze.

As long as one is not a true cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, escaping should not be a problem.

He glanced at the Gale Falcon beside him, which had devoured a considerable amount of waste pills and was currently refining and nourishing them.

Shen Changchuan felt much more at ease.

When we leave the city, if the enemy is too strong, we can simply ride the little wind into the sky and escape.

Fortunately, I had mastered the secret art of beast taming and also obtained Little Wind.

Otherwise, even if you obtain enough spirit stones, it will be a huge hassle to exchange them for pills.

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but have this thought flash through his mind.
