In the past, if a mortal could get a spiritual stone, it would be enough to exchange for a lot of silver, which would not be a problem for at least half a year. But now Mu Yu gave the old man a hundred spiritual stones, but only got five copper coins in exchange. It was simply too deceiving!
"The Five Mountains Alliance has gone too far. How dare they rob so blatantly?" Xiao Shuai said indignantly.
"Oh, there's nothing I can do. Master Immortal says whatever he says, and we don't dare to talk back." The old man put away the coin, shook his head, and was about to leave feeling unlucky, but Mu Yu said: "Uncle, you Don’t leave yet, wait here.”
Mu Yu walked quickly towards the young man in yellow at the entrance of Jixian Pavilion. At this time, the young man in yellow was complacently putting the hundred spiritual stones he had snatched from the old man selling candied haws into his bag, with a slight smile on his lips. contented.
"You mortals, what's the use of holding spiritual stones? I'll just give you a copper plate."
The young man in yellow is named Zhang Ba. He is the guard of Jixian Pavilion and is responsible for the exchange of money between mortals and immortal masters. It is impossible for mortals to be allowed to enter the Jixian Pavilion. They exchange spiritual stones in a shop next to the Jixian Pavilion.
Originally, the person responsible for exchanging money in each city was a mortal. This matter was a hard rule, and this person must be personally designated by the city lord, because only mortals would take the affairs of the immortal master seriously and would not embezzle spiritual stones.
But now three of the eight sects have been wiped out, and the remaining sects have begun to unite to form the Five Mountains Alliance, intending to reshuffle the world of cultivation. Therefore, the city lords of the city must obey the command of the Five Mountains Alliance, and many regulations must be reset. In order to firmly control the world of cultivation.
Zhang Ba is the grandson of an elder from the Xuanling Sect who is in the tribulation period. He is not very talented, but he has a good grandfather, so he just took over this position. During this period, he had secretly earned countless spiritual stones by exploiting mortals, not to mention how proud he felt.
"Senior Brother Zhang, you are right. Mortals are just like beasts to us. Giving them a copper plate is already an act of kindness beyond the law." A thin and shrewd man next to him said with a flattering face.
"You are right. Why do I feel that your words are so pleasing to the ears? Haha! Don't worry. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will talk to grandpa and let you enter from the outer gate of our Xuanling Gate to the inner gate." Zhang Ba smiled proudly.
The disciples of the Xuanling Sect are also divided into the outer sect and the inner sect. The inner sect disciples have higher cultivation resources and status than the outer sect disciples, so many outer sect disciples are trying to get into the inner sect. The thin and shrewd man named Liu Zhi was also in the Golden Core stage and was even higher than Zhang Ba. Although Zhang Ba's talent in cultivation was very poor, he had a grandfather who was in the period of tribulation, so Liu Zhi tried every means to please Zhang Ba.
When Liu Zhi heard that he could enter the inner door, he was overjoyed and fell to the ground flattered: "I thank you, Senior Brother Zhang, for your kindness. From now on, I will definitely work hard for Senior Brother Zhang."
"Get up! My grandpa is in the Jixian Pavilion right now. I'll go talk to him when I find a time." Zhang Ba has been used to the flattery of others since he was a child. Many people want to use him to curry favor with his grandpa. Liu Zhi He can be said to be the most eloquent person among the flatterers, and he deeply respects him.
"Did you just deduct a hundred spiritual stones from a mortal?" Mu Yu walked in and asked calmly.
Zhang Ba frowned and shouted impatiently: "Who are you?"
"I am the owner of those hundred spiritual stones." Mu Yu said slowly.
Zhang Ba laughed loudly. He was too low in cultivation to see Mu Yu's depth. Besides, he had a grandfather to support him, so he was not afraid of anything. He said coldly: "Now those hundred spiritual stones are mine, you What can you do to me?"
"Exchange the silver that should be exchanged for the spirit stones." Mu Yu said.
Zhang Ba seemed to have heard some big joke and said with a mocking face: "Boy, where are you from? Do you know who I am?"
"It's none of my business even if you are a beast." Mu Yu said calmly.
"How dare you talk to me like that? You're looking for death!"
Zhang Ba shouted angrily, although his talent was poor, his grandfather loved him very much. Normally even the elders in the integration stage would be polite to him when they saw him, but now he was despised by an unknown young man. How could he tolerate it when he was so arrogant
When Liu Zhi saw that his chance to perform had come, he stood up and shouted: "Boy, are you looking for death? Do you even dare to contradict the grandson of our Xuanling Sect Wolf Slayer Taoist? Why don't you just kowtow to our Senior Brother Zhang and admit your mistake?" Forget it, otherwise you won’t have the need to gain a foothold in the world of cultivation in the future!”
Wolf-Slaying Taoist is the Taoist name of Grandpa Zhang Ba, and he has the cultivation level of transcending the second level of calamity. This strength is indeed regarded as a top power for ordinary people in the world of cultivation. Normally, as long as Zhang Ba announces his grandfather's name, many people will be shocked and start to smile apologetically at Zhang Ba.
Unfortunately, not everyone will be shocked by this name.
Xiao Shuai said in surprise: "Taoist Cockroach? Why do some people still take the Taoist name Cockroach? Then do you still have Taoist Rat in Xuanling Sect?"
Zhang Ba and Liu Zhi suddenly turned red with anger. Zhang Ba said angrily: "You dare to insult my grandfather, you are seeking death!"
Mu Yu didn't seem to have any cultivation at all. When he came to the city, he hid his cultivation in order not to attract other people's attention. At his level, it was very easy to hide his aura. Liu Zhi and Zhang Ba mistakenly thought that Mu Yu was just an ignorant person, and they immediately wanted to teach Mu Yu a lesson.
"Senior brother, I will deal with this kind of people!"
Before Zhang Ba could make a move, Liu Zhi had already rushed towards Mu Yu. As long as he behaved well in front of Zhang Ba, entering the inner gate of Xuanling Gate would not be a problem at all.
"I'll do it, I'll do it. I like to bully the big ones."
Xiaoshuai gnawed off the last hawthorn in his hand, then showed an innocent smile, and then the bamboo stick in his hand was pierced.
"ah-"
When Liu Zhi was still thinking about taking down Mu Yu with one move, he never thought that Xiao Shuai's bamboo stick actually penetrated his palm, and a huge force took him away, and his hands were nailed to the wall. . And that bamboo stick was covered with a strange spiritual power, which made it impossible for him to break free even with his golden elixir level strength.
"You, you are looking for death!"
Zhang Ba looked at Liu Zhi with blood on his hands and nailed to the wall in shock and anger. He knew in his heart that Liu Zhi's cultivation level was far higher than his. He didn't expect that Liu Zhi would be defeated by a slender bamboo stick just after they met him. .
"Let me kill this guy! It will save you the trouble of looking at him." Xiaoshuai took out another hawthorn and started chewing it.
Zhang Base shouted with an inward heart: "You dare to kill me? Are you looking for death? You must know that my grandfather is an elder of the Xuanling Sect in the tribulation period. If I lose a hair, you will be cut into thousands of pieces, and the nine tribes will be implicated! He But in the Jixian Pavilion next door, it’s still too late for you to kneel down and beg for mercy!”
"Really?" A strange smile appeared on the corner of Mu Yu's mouth.
Xiao Shuai was chewing hawthorn, and a hawthorn core popped out of his mouth, heading towards Zhang Ba's throat with a whistling sound. People from the Eight Gates, as lackeys of the Sanzhong Palace, for Mu Yu and the others, death would not be a pity.
But when the hawthorn core hit Zhang Ba, a yellow light lit up on Zhang Ba's body, blocking the hawthorn core.
This guy is worthy of being the grandson of an elder who has transcended the tribulation period. He carries a magic weapon given by his grandfather to protect his life. No wonder he can be arrogant and domineering everywhere.
"Well, you guys also want to kill me? Didn't you know that my grandfather is a Taoist Wolf Slayer?" Zhang Ba sneered.
"Ah, you still have two more seconds?" Xiaoshuai squirmed in his mouth and spit out another hawthorn core. This time, Zhang Ba's protective barrier shattered with a snap.
Zhang Ba's expression suddenly changed!
"As I said, cockroaches are meant to be beaten to death, so why not call your grandpa here too!" Xiaoshuai said inarticulately.
"Then it depends on whether you have this ability!"
Zhang Ba had already crushed a jade pendant in his hand. In just one breath, a breath of transcending tribulation had enveloped the entire shop, followed by a majestic voice rolling in like thunder.
"Who dares to hurt my grandson?"
Following the loud voice, an old man with a gloomy face had appeared next to Zhang Ba, standing proudly with his hands behind his back, looking at Mu Yu indifferently.
This person is clearly the Supreme Elder of the Xuanlingmen Tribulation Second Heaven, Taoist Wolf Slayer!
"grandfather!"
Zhang Ba felt as if he had found a savior when he saw Taoist Wolf Slayer. He straightened his back immediately, stared at Mu Yu and Xiao Shuai as if they were dead people, and said arrogantly: "Grandpa, it's them! They actually threatened to kill me. , the sin is unforgivable!”
Taoist Wolf Slayer touched Zhang Ba's head with pity and resistance. He loved the grandson he held in his old age very much. Although his cultivation level was not high, he had already thought about how to improve his grandson's cultivation level. Then he looked at Mu Yu with murderous intent: "Since you two dare to touch my grandson, it just so happens that I have just obtained a secret technique, so I will do some experiments on you and give me your cultivation." grandson."
"Grandpa, what's the secret technique?" Zhang Ba asked in surprise.
Taoist Wolf Slayer smiled and said: "This is a soul technique given by the Lord of the Third Palace. As long as you practice according to the above method and absorb the essence of these people's souls, you can increase your cultivation level. In this way, you can protect yourself in the future when grandpa is gone." ”
Zhang Ba was very excited and said: "Grandpa, kill them quickly, I want to practice the secret skills of the Third Palace!"
Taoist Wolf Slayer sneered: "You two are looking for death, so no one else is to blame."
"Looking for death? No, we are here to cause trouble." Xiaoshuai said carelessly.
"You don't know the heights of the world!"
Taoist Wolf Slayer smiled contemptuously, and then asked Zhang Ba: "Ba'er, you decide how the two of them are going to die, whether they want to destroy their cultivation, or just cut off their limbs? As long as you are willing, you can kill them any way you want, secret technique It only requires souls, their bodies don't matter. Recently, there are always some ignorant people everywhere questioning the majesty of our Jixian Pavilion and the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance. We have killed many people, and we always need some people to scare the monkeys and let everyone understand, What are the consequences for violating the new regulations we have established now!”
Taoist Wolf Slayer looked at Mu Yu coldly. The reason why he did not take action right away was because the prestige of the Eight Gates and the Three Level Palace was now completely lost. Many cultivators who came out of the gambling city no longer blindly worked for them. At this time, the Eight If the five remaining sects want to unite and formulate new rules for the world of cultivation, they need to use iron-blooded tactics to intimidate the cultivators.
Apparently Mu Yu has also become the target of Taoist Wolf Slayer who wants to kill chickens to scare monkeys!
