"Kill 'Zheng Qi Zi'?"
Fang Xing laughed dumbly: "If the reward is only 'Millennium Stone Milk,' it would seem that Fellow Daoist's divine sense is disordered and you've gone into demonic deviation. Even adding you, forgive me for speaking bluntly, the values on both sides are not equal..."
The woman surnamed Nie's expression was calm, without the slightest intention of being offended: "All prices can be negotiated... If it's just 'Millennium Stone Milk,' you only need to promise to take action during the siege, you don't have to be the main attacker... Right now, that Zheng Qi Zi is at 'Gui Xu Mountain' on the front line of the righteous-demonic war. As long as we gather enough manpower to force him into a desperate situation and seal his life-saving trump cards, it's not impossible to take his life."
"Not appropriate, not appropriate..."
Fang Xing shook his head repeatedly.
Although he could easily behead that so-called "Zheng Qi Zi," he was, after all, a person of the righteous path.
Doing this was a bit immoral...
'No, I was almost led astray. I'm just here to buy goods. If you ask for too much, I'll just pat my butt and leave... I'll go stroll around other demonic cities, then go to those immortal cities of the righteous path... I'll always be able to gather enough.'
Although the fighting here in Dajing was very fierce, the righteous-demonic border line must have strict blockades, and there was also the power of grand formations covering it.
But for Fang Xing, these were not problems.
There were many choices, so he wouldn't hang himself from one tree.
Thinking of this, he immediately smiled slightly: "It seems that I cannot reach a cooperation with the Fairy..."
He immediately stepped back and sat back on the meditation cushion.
As soon as he left, the short fatty from before immediately stepped forward impatiently: "I have a bottle of 'Gui Yuan Pill,' I wish to trade for..."
After the trading session ended, the major high-rank cultivators also casually shared some cultivation experiences and knowledge.
The most heated topic was naturally the currently raging righteous-demonic war!
Fang Xing listened for a few sentences and found that most of these demonic cultivators were quite excited.
After all, the essence blood, souls, and even physical bodies of cultivators of the same rank... were not things that could be easily obtained in the past.
With the characteristics of the demonic path, at the beginning of the war, they could always take some advantage.
'So in Dajing, is the righteous path waning and the demonic path rising?'
Fang Xing listened to a few sentences and felt his horizons broadened.
'Also... my Heaven Sword Sect's strength is among the top among the righteous Nascent Soul sects, but now we're just faking the fight... The other four major Nascent Soul sects immediately can't hold on.'
'The righteous path of this world is no good...'
Complaining in his heart, Fang Xing watched coldly. After the exchange meeting ended, he immediately walked out of the secret shop, preparing to leave the city and head to the next trading immortal city.
If he couldn't get a large amount of Millennium Stone Milk at once, he would just have to work harder, gathering sand into a tower and collecting fur to make a robe.
In the originally calm Giant Stone shop, many cultivators left one after another.
Shi Daoren was polite, saying a few courteous words to each one as he saw them off.
In the end, only he remained in the shop.
He pondered for a while, not knowing what he was thinking about.
A moment later, where a fragrant breeze passed, a palace-attired beauty with her hair tied up in a high bun walked in gracefully; it was that woman surnamed Nie.
Besides her, there was also an old man, who was an early-stage Jin Dan cultivator.
It was just that his blood and energy were declining, and he looked as if he were nearing the end of his lifespan.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Nie, and this..."
Shi Daoren looked at the old man.
The old man gave a bitter smile, wiped his face, and a lifelike human skin mask fell off, and he also turned into another old face.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Mu of Ku Xu Mountain."
Shi Daoren nodded, as if he had long known this person's identity: "I wonder why the two of you have returned, what is your intention?"
"Fellow Daoist Shi, don't pretend anymore... Others might not know, but this concubine happens to know that practicing the 'Fossil Demonic Art' has a period of inner demons, requiring one to enter the world and read about worldly affairs so that the mind does not turn into stone or rotten wood..."
The woman surnamed Nie giggled: "With your status and position... within the Nine Infants Sect, it seems only one true disciple can match it. Since you are a true disciple of the Nine Infants Sect, you must have practiced the Nine Infants Sect's most famous spirit eye technique—the Candle Dragon Stone Eye! Didn't you discover that person's flaws?"
"Oh?"
Shi Daoren responded indifferently, looking unsurprised.
It was just that the False Jin Dan magic power on his body dissipated at once, as if a layer of disguise had been removed.
Replacing it was a thick magic power fluctuation close to the late Jin Dan stage.
"Fossil Demonic Art, practicing both magic and body, mid-stage Jin Dan... With your magic power and divine abilities, I'm afraid you are not inferior to late-stage Jin Dan cultivators. In the future, you might not be unable to be selected for the 'Six Heroes of the Demonic Path,' ranking alongside the Five Sons of the Righteous Path..."
Daoist Mu's expression was solemn.
"Hehe, I dare not compete with Brother Yun... Daoist Mu, I know you practice the 'Rotten Eye Technique.' The 'Rotten Wood Zhenjun' of the past relied on this technique to roam Dajing. Even though his inheritance was later divided into three, you only inherited a part of the legacy, yet you can still see through most restrictions and illusions... What about you, Fellow Daoist Nie?"
Shi Daoren looked at the woman surnamed Nie.
"Although this little girl has never practiced spirit eye techniques, I have mastered a precious mirror that can see through falsehoods... I just subconsciously took a look..."
The woman surnamed Nie's smile grew wider: "Didn't expect that among our gathering of demonic Jin Dan cultivators, a righteous path Foundation Establishment cultivator actually mixed in... If this gets out, it will make people laugh to death!"
"Oh?"
Shi Daoren said noncommittally: "This old Daoist just does business; those who come to the door are guests... What do you intend to do?"
"That kid is only Foundation Establishment, but he has quite a few treasures on him. Why not kill him and divide them?"
Old Daoist Mu said sinisterly: "This old man has already secretly made arrangements. At this distance, it's still not too late to catch up."
They were three Jin Dan cultivators; encountering a wealthy Foundation Establishment cultivator, there was no problem at all in robbing him.
They were even worried that this was the Nine Infants Sect's territory, so they specially pulled Shi Daoren in, which could be said to have considered every aspect.
As for whether a Foundation Establishment cultivator being so wealthy could have some background?
Now it's the righteous-demonic war; encountering such a heaven's pride of the righteous path, you definitely hit him to death!
Even if the background is strong, even if he has a Nascent Soul Zhenjun father, it's the demonic path's Nascent Soul monsters who will take the move.
If everyone was afraid of backgrounds and didn't rob, what would everyone be doing in the demonic path?
Fang Xing walked out of Mo Yun Xiancheng, released the Blood Cloud Hood, and flew slowly.
"This time, I wonder how many fish I will hook?"
"Maybe I won't even have to pay for the Millennium Stone Milk and Jin Gang Fruit I bought, consider them a gift..."
As a sword cultivator, he naturally knew that his disguise technique was not quite up to par.
It was easy to fool Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, and even False Jin Dan cultivators.
Encountering a Jin Dan cultivator who truly practiced spirit eye techniques, there was a possibility of being seen through.
But Fang Xing didn't care at all; he was just waiting to fish.
Furthermore, he was certain that at least one fish had already taken the bait. A cultivator who dared to make moves on him and leave a tracking mark was truly bold.
Not long after, three escape lights followed. They saw Fang Xing, who was standing carelessly on a cloud of blood, holding his sword across the sky.
"You actually didn't run?"
The woman surnamed Nie was a bit suspicious, holding a precious mirror in her hand, the essence light shining over dozens of miles: "There's no ambush nearby..."
"Shi Daoren?"
Fang Xing looked at Shi Daoren, who was clearly in the leading position among the three: "Sure enough, demonic path thieves are wolf-hearted and treacherous, breaking faith and betraying righteousness."
"Hehe, since you've already left the shop, you're not a guest. This old Daoist has always been unaccountable." Shi Daoren shook his head: "What's more... you are still a righteous path Foundation Establishment!"
"Oh? It seems you discovered it..."
Fang Xing looked at the three Jin Dan cultivators and suddenly smiled: "You all have such great guts, daring to block a true disciple of my Heaven Sword Sect. Could it be that you think the flying sword in my hand is not sharp?"
Before the words fell, in the blink of an eye, he had already slashed out a sword light!
The sword light was white gold, like a white dragon, rushing straight at Old Daoist Mu, the weakest of the trio.
It is better to break one of the enemy's fingers than to injure ten.
Fang Xing could naturally see that Old Daoist Mu was a breakthrough point.
Clang!
The Great Freedom Profound Gold Sword Gang was astonishingly fast, instantly piercing Old Daoist Mu's true essence protective shield.
Immediately, however, it met a short black wood stick that suddenly appeared.
"Life-bound magic treasure protecting the body?!"
Fang Xing smiled.
His "Rotten Iron Sword," after day and night of refining and cultivation with many rare materials, had now reached the level of a magic treasure.
And that short black wood stick was carved with a dragon head, and it had a sense of connection with Old Daoist Mu's heart and blood, actually able to automatically protect its master!
Unfortunately, it was of no great use.
Fang Xing pinched a spell, the Rotten Iron Sword's sword light turned virtual, passed through the black dragon head stick, and beheaded Old Daoist Mu with one sword.
This is sword cultivator fighting; killing the enemy is only in the blink of an eye, even if you want to save them, it's too late.
'Miscalculated... I originally thought this person had some high-rank cultivator accompanying him, so I let him go for a few days to see the situation... but I didn't expect that he himself could behead a Jin Dan!'
Shi Daoren saw this, his expression changed slightly.
Old Daoist Mu was a Jin Dan cultivator, although he had only condensed a downstream true dan, it was not to be underestimated.
Didn't expect that he would be beheaded by one sword here.
Seeing this scene, the woman surnamed Nie moved her hands quickly, throwing out formation flags and formation disks from her storage bag... she was actually a rare formation master.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, you hold that person off, this concubine will set up a formation immediately."
The woman surnamed Nie took out another formation disk, inlaid more than a dozen top-grade spirit stones on it, and was frantically absorbing the spiritual energy from the spirit stones, preparing to activate a grand formation.
Shi Daoren snorted coldly, his whole body covered with a layer of stone skin.
The Fossil Demonic Art was famous, emphasizing both magic and body cultivation. His physical cultivation was not inferior to those Rank 3 physical cultivators at all.
To a certain extent, it just happened to restrain sword cultivators!
And Fang Xing's sword strike earlier, although it beheaded Old Daoist Mu, let him see a few points of reality.
He believed he could still take Fang Xing down.
But just as Shi Daoren was about to make a move, a sudden change occurred!
"Ah!"
A scream came.
Shi Daoren swept his divine sense and saw a young man who appeared out of nowhere, his five fingers slowly closing.
The five elements of energy in the void condensed, like a small mountain, pressing the woman surnamed Nie under the mountain.
The woman surnamed Nie bit the tip of her tongue, and a high-rank talisman appeared in her hand.
"Hmph!"
But before it could be triggered, a cold snort came, causing her mind to shake, and then a finger pointed at her forehead, and her head exploded entirely.
Seeing this scene, Shi Daoren couldn't help but look at Fang Xing sincerely: "If I say I was just passing by, please raise your hand high, Fellow Daoist... do you believe me?" ===== CHAPTER 224 =====
