My seven female apprentices each have their own ideas

However, in the original text, Lin Chi had many adventures in Qingmu City and broke through from the fourth level of Qi training to the seventh level of Qi training in just one year.

He couldn't remember most of the adventures, but he still had some impression of one key plot point.

That is the Jingyuan Jade.

Jingyuan Jade, which is generally produced with a very low probability in large spirit stone mines, can effectively help cultivators refine spiritual energy.

It looks just like ordinary jade, and yet it's extremely rare and possesses a subtle aura. Therefore, few in the world of immortal cultivation know about it.

But the effect it can exert is very powerful. In the Qi training stage, the spiritual energy needs to be transformed into liquid, and in the foundation building stage, the spiritual liquid needs to be transformed into pills. Both stages require the refinement of spiritual energy.

The effect of Jingyuan Jade can be imagined.

Several hundred years ago, there was a large spiritual stone mine near Qingmu City. After the mining was completed, some cultivators stayed at the original site and continued to absorb independent cultivators over the course of several hundred years, eventually forming the Qingmu City of today.

However, the Jingyuan jade in the mine was not discovered and was taken away by a small snake.

Even though the little snake is not good at cultivation now, it has become a demon beast in the foundation-building stage with the help of this Jingyuan Jade.

"Why are there only two kinds of talismans here?"

Two young monks in tight clothes came up to his stall and bent over to examine the talismans.

His face was childish, and there was blood from the monster still on his robe.

It seems that he is a monk who makes a living by hunting monsters. Such monks are usually not too old.

The reason is quite simple.

Firstly, it is because hunting monsters is dangerous and the average life expectancy is low. Secondly, young people are brave and aggressive and have high morale.

Qingmu City has been peaceful for a long time, and many old monks have long lost their fighting spirit.

Another monk pulled his companion's sleeve and whispered, "I'm afraid your skills are not good enough. Let's go to another place."

The two monks were hesitant and were about to leave.

Jiang He spoke calmly:

"If you devote yourself to a particular art, you will surely master it. I have painstakingly studied the Breath-Suppressing Talisman and the Auspicious Talisman for decades. When I was young, I hunted countless monsters. In my middle age, I combined my experience to improve these two talismans. I can't say that they are much better than those drawn by other cultivators, but in this Dongfang City, I am afraid that no one can be much better than me."

As he spoke, the condensed spiritual energy he had cultivated that morning flowed out from his fingertips.

"Young man, I have probably drawn more talismans than you have eaten any spiritual rice."

The young monk had his doubts at first, but when he saw the spiritual energy at his fingertips was as condensed as moonlight, it was clearly the symbol of a monk in the late stage of Qi training.

They are not fools who blindly believe others' boasting and buy things on their own.

But instead of buying talismans from other cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training, why not buy the one in front of you that is in the late stage of Qi training?

This is just like the brand effect: products from companies with stronger strength are obviously more likely to gain the trust of customers.

The two monks discussed it and finally spent three spirit stones to buy six breath-suppressing talismans.

Jiang He looked at the backs of the two monks as they left, and the suppressed smile on his lips finally broke out.

He deliberately displayed his spiritual power because he saw that these two cultivators in the early stage of Qi training did not have the vision to do so and would misjudge his cultivation level.

After all, cultivators in the late stage of Qi training are rare in the market, and can be regarded as a golden signboard.

It’s still easier to make money from young people.

Jiang He felt no guilt about impersonating the immortal Lao Deng, and thought happily.

As the sun rises, the flow of people in the market becomes more and more dense.

Jiang He was also unable to maintain his previous state of practice. Once the environment became noisy, it was difficult for him to keep an eye on his stall.

If you are not careful, it may be taken away by others.

After practicing for a whole morning, I only refined a few strands of spiritual energy. It will take me a long time to break through to the later stage.

Fortunately, my predecessor has reached the sixth level for so many years, and the spiritual energy in my dantian is still abundant. Now I just need to refine it slowly.

When Jiang He was bored, a red arc of light passed over Dongfang City and headed straight for Qingmu City.

This caused the casual cultivators in the market to look at him with envy.

Together with Jiang He, I watched the time go away.

This is the sword-flying realm of a foundation-building cultivator. This is the lifetime goal of most casual cultivators.

"Damn, damn."

The old cultivator who was selling pills nearby hurriedly put away the pills, rolled up the animal skin and put it on his back.

"Fellow Daoist, what's going on?" Jiang He asked the old cultivator curiously.

The casual cultivator looked to be in his seventies or eighties, with an old and haggard appearance, and a strong smell of herbs. He glanced at Jiang He and sneered:

"The cultivators in Qingmu City have been lax for too long. The arc of light of that foundation-building cultivator is red, and although his speed is fast, he occasionally stumbles. It is obvious that he used the blood escape method to escape. Someone dared to attack the foundation-building cultivator of Wuya Sect, which means that something big is going to happen."

When Jiang He heard this, his heart moved.

Wuya Sect is the ruler behind Qingmu City. There are dozens of foundation-building cultivators in the sect, and even a great cultivator in the Jindan stage.

In the entire Dajin immortal cultivation world, a Jindan stage cultivator can be considered a hegemon. How could someone in Qingmu City attack the foundation-building cultivators of Wuya Sect?

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Taoist." Jiang He bowed to express his gratitude, while muttering to himself.

Could this be the plot point in the original text?

But he remembered very clearly that the turmoil in Aoki Castle occurred a year later, with the massacre of the Zhao family as the fuse.

When did he, the butterfly, flap his wings and bring about the change?

The old cultivator pondered for a while and said, "Fellow Daoist seems to be a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training? I am Tang Ge, and I am at the eighth level of Qi training. If there is any change in Qingmu City, we cultivators should stick together for warmth."

This old man looks unremarkable, but he is actually a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi training, and also a free-spirited alchemist.

Chapter 14 Attack and Kill

Jiang He was slightly shocked but remained calm on the surface.

He bowed in return and said:

"So it's Brother Tang Ge. I'm so sorry. I'm Jiang He, but I'm actually a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi training. If anything happens in Qingmu City, we cultivators will really need to unite as one."

He was secretly alert in his heart. Although Tang Ge seemed to be chatting casually, his words revealed his keen awareness of the big events that were about to happen in Aoki Castle.

Moreover, as a casual alchemist at the eighth level of Qi training, Tang Ge is considered a well-known figure among casual cultivators, but he is not well-known.

Not like an ordinary casual cultivator.

Tang Ge felt a little disappointed when he heard this.

He had taken a casual glance at him earlier and saw that his spiritual energy was solid, but his breath was a little weak.

Considering that there are many talented people in the world of immortal cultivation, I am not sure whether he used some magic to conceal his breath, so I asked a question.

After all, the gap between the sixth level of Qi training and the later stage of Qi training is too big.

Without saying anything more, he left in a hurry, obviously worried about the impact on himself.

Jiang He also quickly packed up his stall and put the talisman in his arms. He didn't want to be involved in any fight.

Before leaving, she took three hairpins with her.

As he strode towards home, from time to time, foundation-building cultivators flew out from Qingmu City on their swords in the sky, turning into arcs of light and flying towards Nanfang City.

Jiang He's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. Will anything happen in Nanfang City?

Thinking of the three weak little girls at home, he quickly quickened his pace.

Suddenly, a group of people in black robes appeared in front of me, with their faces covered and murderous auras all over their bodies. It was obvious that they were not good people.

The most important thing is that it is blocking his way.

I'm really afraid of what I'm going to do.

There were about seven or eight people, all filled with murderous aura, and the lowest-level cultivator was at the middle stage of Qi training.

The leader has the strength of the late stage of Qi training.

And now on the main road between Nanfang City and Dongfang City, there were no other wandering cultivators around except him and this group of men in black robes.

Is this the legendary murder and treasure-stealing?

"roll!"

To his surprise, the leading black-robed man shouted loudly.

Isn't it about killing people and stealing treasures?

Only then did he realize that this group of people were not from the same camp. They formed a circle and trapped a monk in the middle.

Roll, roll, roll, roll right now.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

Jiang He tried hard to suppress his heartbeat and couldn't wait to return the same way.

The besieged monk said, "Do you know who I am?"

"Haha, I know. How could I not know? You are Wuya Sect disciple Zhao Qiujun, right? You bitch, how dare you insult my sworn brother!"

The leading black-robed man spoke with a hoarse voice and a sneer.

".Sworn brothers?"

"."

The man in black robe remained silent, then suddenly attacked, countless spells flew towards Zhao Qiujun, and the battle broke out instantly.

The person being surrounded turned out to be Zhao Qiujun, so this group of people in black robes should be the Dragon and Tiger Gang.

Their gang leader Tan Yuansheng and Lin Chi secretly became sworn brothers, and taking advantage of the turmoil in Qingmu City, Zhao Qiujun went to Nanfang City to investigate, seizing the opportunity to help Lin Chi vent his anger.

In fact, it is very likely that what Zhao Qiujun experienced today was caused by his butterfly effect.

Could it be possible that this supporting actress is going to die here today?

"Fellow Daoist, please help me. The Zhao family will reward you handsomely later."

Zhao Qiujun's gaze passed through the interlaced black-robed figures and saw a vaguely familiar figure. Before she could think about it, she spoke hurriedly.

The attacks of the men in black robes became more and more fierce. Although Zhao Qiujun had good skills, he gradually seemed to be unable to cope with the siege of so many people.

She was agile and kept dodging the attacks of the man in black robe, while also looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Jiang He could see clearly from the side that although Zhao Qiujun was in trouble, her strength should not be underestimated.

Although both of them are in the late stage of Qi training, her fighting skills are several levels higher than that of the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Gang.

If there really is someone at the sixth level of Qi training to help, maybe we can really turn defeat into victory.

But, his sixth floor is a counterfeit product.

It is better to leave first. The Dragon and Tiger Gang just can't spare any effort right now. After they kill Zhao Qiujun, they will definitely silence him the next moment.

Jiang He ignored her and went into the forest nearby.

If I remember correctly, I can get home by passing through this forest and then through the gorge.

A few minutes later, just as he was trying his best to hurry on his way, a gust of wind blew from behind him, mixed with strong fluctuations of spiritual power.

Jiang He's face changed, and he quickly activated the Qi Jue, concentrating his spiritual power to protect his body.

"boom!"

A loud bang cut through the air, and Jiang He only felt a huge force coming from behind, and he fell forward uncontrollably.

He tried hard to steady his body, and his feet left two deep grooves on the ground before he could barely stand.

Jiang He turned his head suddenly, and saw a huge copper palm wrapped in a violent wind, hitting his chest again with a devastating force. The force of this palm was far greater than before, and it almost made him despair.

Just died inexplicably like this?

Between life and death, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and recalled his previous body movements. The refined spiritual energy formed a torrent that rushed through his meridians. He lightly tapped the ground with his feet, and his body quickly retreated like an arrow from a bow.

The red copper palm followed Jiang He's retreating steps, but its strength weakened halfway.

"Hahaha, fellow Taoist, I'm sorry for the offense. I mistook you for Zhao Qiujun."

The one who attacked him was the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, Tan Yuansheng.

Tan Yuansheng was in a very bad state at this time. His black robe was cut by a sharp weapon, revealing a bloody and hideous knife mark. He bowed his hands and apologized:
