Chapter 25: Human Hearts Are Evil

Fengqiao Town, outside Dongguan.

Ye Ling was wearing a simple moon-white satin gown. She went her own way and acted calmly. She didn't care at all about the white-collared female cultivators who were selling demon pigs.

In Ye Ling's eyes, despite the fact that this female cultivator in green clothes is dressed up in fancy clothes to attract customers, and she dislikes the poor and loves the rich, in fact, she is not just a small person who makes a living around Fengqiao Town.

Ye Ling has 300,000 spiritual stones piled up in his Immortal Palace jade pendant, but he is not very interested in the demon pig. The richer he is, the more he has to keep a low profile. This is his rule of survival in the cruel world of immortal cultivation!

I only use spiritual stones on the blade, and I will never buy useless things. Ye Ling knew very well that if he looked very wealthy in front of everyone outside the city, he would definitely end up miserable.

Because he is not a member of a cultivating family and has no power behind him; his cultivation level is not high, he is just a mid-level Qi training monk at the fourth level of Qi training. Such level of cultivation is too common and common among the tens of thousands of monks in Maple Bridge Town. There are them all over the streets, not much better than the minor cultivators in the early stages of Qi training who are at the bottom of the world of cultivating immortals.

In Medicine Valley, Ye Ling is the sect master's direct disciple, no one dares to do anything to him! But in Maple Bridge Town, which is the territory of the major cultivating immortal families, his status is not easy to use.

In addition, the trading place for spiritual beasts is outside Maple Bridge Town, where there is a mixture of fish and dragons. Without the restraint of the patrolling monks in the city, there are many monks who kill people and seize treasures. As long as those who are killed are not the children of the Xiuxian family, who can care about that! If an ordinary repairman is not careful, his life will be lost.

Ye Ling continued to wander around the Spirit Beast Market outside Dongguan. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He walked straight to a stall selling birds and spotted a second-order fire eagle. Its entire body was fiery red without any variegation. , so he asked the old man setting up the stall: "Old man, how do you sell this fire sculpture?"

The old man looked at Ye Ling and saw that he did not look like a rich master. However, seeing that he spoke respectfully, he said unhurriedly: "This eagle knows the fireball technique, and can also make a flying mount. It is faster than the Wind Control Technique of monks of the same level and can be sold for one thousand and five hundred spirit stones."

The old man setting up the stall was just perfunctory. Unexpectedly, Ye Ling knelt down and stroked the back of the fire eagle, seeming very interested.

Ye Ling looked back at the east gate of Maple Bridge Town again. He knew that trading in the city was much safer than outside the city, so he lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Old man, could you please put it into the spirit beast bag and leave it at the east gate?" Wait. I’ll ask the elders in the family for money, and we’ll trade it at the city gate! There won’t be any less than one thousand pieces of spiritual stone!”

The old man setting up the stall was startled for a moment, and then he understood a little. He twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little friend, my old Xue Tou has been setting up a stall outside Dongguan for many years. I guarantee my reputation and will never reveal the identity of the buyer to Duobao." "Monk."

After that, the old man put the fire eagle into the spirit beast bag and walked towards the east gate.

When Ye Ling saw what he said, he secretly thought that he was indeed an old fox who was a lot older. He seemed to have seen through his intentions, but he had to be wary of others. Ye Ling deliberately kept a distance from the old man, waiting for the old Xue Tou. Ye Ling felt relieved when he came to the city gate alone and waited for him.

"Second-level wind spirit fox, extremely fast, a good helper in exploring paths, seven hundred spirit stones, no bargaining, this is the last one!"

Just as Ye Ling was about to return to the city, in front of a stall outside Dongguan, there was a clear female voice hawking. She was a girl in her late teens, with a cute little cyan fox lying on her shoulder.

"Hey! Why don't you buy one?"

The girl actually stopped in front of Ye Ling and held up the little spirit fox to show him.

Ye Ling was slightly startled and asked curiously: "How do you know I can afford it?"

"The person who just entered the city is my grandfather, and my name is Xue Xiang'er!"

Ye Ling pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay! You are also waiting for me at the east gate."

While talking, Ye Ling used the wind control technique and rushed into the city first!

Old Xue Tou looked at him with a smile in the city gate of the east gate, and sighed: "My little friend is so cautious! People don't tell secrets, so I conclude that my little friend must have a lot of spiritual stones in his possession. Look! Here! There are disciples guarding the city gate, we are all in a safe zone, can we trade? "

Ye Ling could only smile bitterly, nodded, and took the storage bag. He dared to admit that in this world of immortality, he was still a rookie and not as cunning as the old fox.

Not long after, Xue Xiang'er put the little green fox into the spirit beast bag, walked over with a smile, and handed it to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling led the Xue family's ancestors and grandson to a secluded street corner, and casually took out twenty-two middle-grade spiritual stones and paid them in full.

Old Xue Tou looked at him with a smile and asked abruptly: "Looking at the generosity of my little friend, he must have an extraordinary background! I wonder which elder of the Yaogu Sect he belongs to?"

When Ye Ling went out, he hung a jade plaque around his waist that represented his identity as an inner disciple of the Yaogu Sect, hoping that it would have some effect and prevent him from being remembered by the monks who wanted to kill people and seize treasures.

Hearing what the old Mr. Xue said, Ye Ling simply stopped making up lies and said calmly: "I am Ye Ling, a direct disciple of the master of the Yaogu Sect! My spiritual stone was earned by selling the Ruyihuanshenzhen Pill given by my master. He came from the right place, and it won’t be a big deal even if Mr. Xue talks about it to anyone.”

Having said this, Ye Ling smiled indifferently, but his words still showed that he did not trust the Xue family's ancestors and grandson.

Xue Xiang'er pouted and said: "How can my grandfather talk nonsense to everyone? We have rules in our business. Even my grandfather and I set up a stall outside Dongguan for two years! All buyers are welcome, and at the same time, they are kept confidential, hehe Hee, our family lives in Cuizhu Villa outside Dongguan! If Brother Ye needs any spiritual beasts, just come to Cuizhu Villa to find us!"

Old Xue Tou nodded and said with a smile: "Little friend Ye is very cautious, how can he come to visit easily? If you need anything, ask someone to send you a piece of paper, and the old man will personally deliver the spirit beast bag to the east gate, haha."

Ye Ling nodded, agreed casually, and said goodbye to the two of them.

"Brother Ye, don't leave in a hurry! Let me tell you something, there is a cave opened in Songyang Jungle, why don't you go there and try your luck? I heard that you only need one hundred spiritual stones to enter the cave."

Ye Ling suddenly turned around and saw Xue Xiang'er blinking her eyes and looking at him with a smile.

"Oh? Where did you get the news?"

This time it was Old Xue's turn to be startled and said curiously: "Haha, you seem to have heard about the opening of the cave in Songyang Jungle? It seems that Ye Xiaoyou is also very well-informed."

Ye Ling said calmly: "Well, I heard it from a friend."

Old Xue Tou gave his little granddaughter a wink. Xue Xiang'er understood and said, "Grandpa and I are going to explore the cave. If Brother Ye is willing to join our team of the Xue family, he will give you extra care! Don't you think you've been here until now?" Still can’t trust us?”

Ye Ling smiled mysteriously and said calmly: "I'm not interested in the caves in Songyang Jungle. You two, take your leave!"

After saying that, Ye Ling cupped his hands and walked straight to the teleportation array in Dongchengfang City, Fengqiao Town. He handed five spiritual stones to the guard disciples guarding the teleportation array and teleported them directly back to Yaogu Sect.

The ancestors and grandsons of the Xue family watched helplessly as the light curtain of the teleportation array opened. After Ye Ling disappeared, Old Xue's eyes immediately darkened: "Unlucky! It's not easy to meet a rich master. I'm too cautious. Too cunning to take the bait!”

Xue Xiang'er's innocent eyes actually had a hint of viciousness: "If I had known he would run away, grandpa and second sister should have captured him outside Dongguan!"

"No! This is a matter of self-destruction. All the spirit beast sellers outside Dongguan are watching. If we kill people and seize treasures, once word spreads, it will bring trouble to our Xue family. Who else will do it in the future? Ask our Xue family to buy spiritual beasts?”

Old Xue Tou warned sternly, and at the same time he looked at the beautiful female cultivator in green clothes outside Dongguan, with a look in his eyes that seemed to hate iron for not becoming steel, and he sighed: "Now the two of us have at least sold the spiritual beasts. It's a small profit. Hey! It's ridiculous that your second sister looked away and thought he was a poor boy who didn't even sell the demon pig! Go call her and tell your second sister to stop selling the demon pig! . Let’s get the spirit stone, pick up two more enemies, form a team and rush to Songyang Jungle!”

At this moment, Ye Ling had already left the west valley entrance of the Medicine Valley, passed through the mountain guard formation, mounted the fire eagle, and flew straight to the Songyang dense forest in the north of the Changxi wilderness.

Ye Ling finally had a bird of his own. In his excitement, he stroked the fiery red feathers on the bird's body, looked down at the vast Changxi wilderness, and became even more envious of the foundation-building elders who could fly with swords.

"If one day I can break through the Qi training stage and reach the foundation building stage! I can also fly with a sword, then I won't be afraid of old thief Zhou Chong!"

After flying for nearly an hour, Ye Ling could see the end of Changxi Field in front of him. A green patch of green appeared, which was the Songyang Jungle!

Ye Ling looked around and saw no one around. He stopped the fire eagle as early as possible and hid in the grass that was half a man tall. Firstly, he wanted to prevent the treasure-hunting monks in the dense forest from noticing his fire eagle. Secondly, Ye Ling wanted to change his costume. Ichiban!

Ye Ling hung the Xianfu jade pendant in his arms and wore it close to his body. He also put away the Yaogu Zong jade plaque hanging on his waist, and then took out the forbidden hat and raincoat from the storage bag that could block the penetration of spiritual consciousness below the Foundation Establishment monks. , and dressed up as a fisherman.

Ye Ling spent a total of two thousand spirit stones on this outfit. He once put on this set of bamboo hats and raincoats and peddled the third-level top-quality spiritual grass Dragon's Ginseng in Nanchengfang City, Fengqiao Town, which caused a sensation.

Now Ye Ling doesn't mind dressing up as a fisherman again and sneaking into the caves of Songyang Jungle to hunt for treasures. After all, there are many rivers around Maple Bridge Town, and there are many casual cultivators dressed as fishermen, so who would recognize him.

After everything was dressed up, Ye Ling came to the edge of the Changxiang River. He stopped at the waterside and took a look. Seeing that there were no flaws, he went upstream along the Changxiang River and headed towards the Songyang Jungle.

The Songyang dense forest is full of second-level demonic snakes and second-level demonic bears. Ye Ling came here to find the rumored natural cave, not to practice killing demons, so Ye Ling planned to hide in the water to avoid the demonic beasts in the forest.

Unexpectedly, just when he was about to hide in the water, the second-level demonic snakes entrenched in the forest ran away desperately as if they had seen a natural enemy!
