Volume 9: Star Cave Chapter 132: The Trial of the Lower Way
While Lu Bai was observing the information of Xuanyi Sect, Lu Bai's information was also being browsed by others.
On the Jinlian Mountain of the Xuanyi Sect, the sect leader, Zhenren Xuan Xuan Xuan, sat cross-legged on it, carefully looking at all the information recorded by the spies.
Unfortunately, Lu Bai appeared suddenly, and the only relevant information about him at present is his name and that he once appeared in front of Banren’s tomb with a bunch of wild flowers.
As for where Lu Bai came from, what his past was, what magic he mastered, or what realm he had reached, they had no idea.
After all, the aura of people in the Xuanmen is somewhat special compared to ordinary people, and the general manager Qianshanjin in the villa is also a master of the Xuanmen.
Those who can hide in the villa are basically mortals. Anyone with cultivation will be discovered and then executed.
As for those mortals, their Xuanmen naturally has a deep mortal foundation due to so many years of accumulation, and there are many mortal forces working for them, but unfortunately, due to various restrictions, the mortals cannot have too many contacts.
Therefore, the information they were able to detect was very limited.
The advantage of using mortal spies is that their survival rate is high, and most people in the Xuanmen will not kill mortals unless necessary.
Even if there is a heavenly soul covering it up, killing too many mortals will inevitably lead to karma.
And this karma is likely to explode at a critical moment.
All I can say is that in this world, even if you become an immortal, you still need to abide by various rules, otherwise you will die.
According to records, there was an immortal who died by massacring a city.
Of course, there is also a saying that he was about to die, so he chose to massacre the city and kill all the people in order to prolong his life.
Unfortunately , only other immortals of the same period could know the truth.
Zhenren Xuanxuanxuanxuan, his name has four "Xuan" characters in it. Just by looking at the name, we can tell that he is a master of Xuanmen. He was flipping through the little information about Lu Bai in his hands, with an uneasy look on his face.
The sudden appearance of this half-human descendant required him to adjust his original plan.
Xuanyi Sect, as the founder of the immortal cultivation method, has produced two immortals in history, not counting the traitor Banbianren.
Although the whereabouts of the two immortals are unknown, they left behind two complete sets of immortal rituals that can suppress the fortune of the sect.
Even an immortal would not risk offending the Xuanyi Sect.
But Banbianren is different. He used to be a disciple of Xuanyi Sect and had even been exposed to the immortal rituals of the sect.
That's why he was able to bypass many restrictions and plot against the people of Xuanyi Sect.
Xuan Xuan Xuan Xuan has been looking for traitors within the Xuanyi Sect over the years. They believe that since Half Human has such an advantage, it is impossible not to take advantage of it.
It's a pity that there has been little profit over the years, but I didn't expect that Lu Bai would suddenly appear.
"Someone come here!" Xuan Xuan Xuan Xuan waved his hand, and the ghosts and gods connected to the magic network within the sect. A disciple received the call, traveled through space, and came in front of the sect master.
"Go spread the news, and then observe outside!" He handed Lu Bai's information to his disciple, then waved his hand and let him leave.
Xuan Xuan Xuan Xuan continued to sit cross-legged on Jinlian Mountain, but his eyes looked towards the Winter Spring in the back mountain through the ritual inside the gate.
In that icy place, a page of Changmingshu was sitting cross-legged on a small boat, his body covered in thick snow and wind, like a frozen corpse.
"Brother, I hope you won't interfere. Otherwise, for the sake of the sect, I won't consider our past friendship."
————————————————————————————————
On the second day, the atmosphere in the villa was a little different, and some servants had "disappeared".
Some were dealt with by the old manager Qian Shanjin, while others disappeared on their own.
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, a dark cloud was pressing on the mountain, and the tea trees were swaying in the wind and rain.
But Lu Bai sat leisurely on the second-floor balcony, while Qian Shanjin was making tea beside him.
"Spiritual root Huangyuan Tea Tree, a spiritual root created by the Eightfold Dao Method, combined with spiritual spring water, can make people feel clear-headed and bright-eyed, and prolong their lifespan."
Qian Shanjin introduced the process while performing complicated procedures and placed a cup of tea in front of Lu Bai.
Nowadays, if spiritual roots are not in a cave, it is difficult for them to survive.
It is basically impossible for aliens to achieve enlightenment in this world.
Tianxin’s suppression of alien species is too strong. The beasts can only show a little intelligence at most. If they want to become monsters, they are courting death.
The thunder tribulation will teach it a lesson and make it incapable of being a human being.
There is no such thing in this world as a dead tree coming back to life after overcoming a thunder tribulation. A thunder tribulation is not a test; it will only strike a person to death.
If one strike doesn't kill him, there are always two or three strikes.
The same goes for spiritual roots. If the effect is too extraordinary, then one will also encounter a thunder disaster.
Compared to animals, their spiritual roots cannot even be moved, so their survival rate is even lower.
Therefore, all the major spiritual roots in the world today either exist in caves or rely on the financial and material resources of the sect to support their survival.
Or they exist in places where few people go and survive in the corners.
Or it is achieved through the Eight Heavens Three Flowers Dao, but the effect is so low that it is like a chicken rib.
For ordinary people in the outside world, this kind of high-end tea is so expensive that it would cost them a fortune to get one, but for Lu Bai, it is just for the sake of tasting it.
But Lu Bai loves this taste.
The oral desire was satisfied at this moment. It was worthy of being a spiritual root. The taste was incomparable to that of ordinary tea trees. The taste of the tea was very rich. Just one sip would leave a lingering fragrance in the mouth.
There is also a fragrance that flows down the throat and invades every limb, making people feel relaxed.
It's like taking a sip of ice cola on a hot summer day.
It was at this moment that Lu Bai could feel a force locking onto him.
The next moment, the gun roared, the bullet flew out of the gun, and a deadly object rushed towards Lu Bai's head.
Fake battle of immortals: both parties agree on a time and start their own stage, then use talismans to gain supernatural power, cast spells and tie straw men, invite gods to possess their bodies to subdue demons, and use flying swords to shoot hundreds of miles to take people's heads.
A real battle between immortals: Ask mortals to snipe from three miles away!
That’s right, this is the most efficient way, fighting with others?
What if the other party has some hidden card and wants to kill you when you don’t know his true strength?
Eleven out of ten immortal cultivators are afraid of death.
Why do they want to practice cultivation? For longevity? Or else, could it be to become the best in the world?
This world has many restrictions for those who practice Taoism. If you want to practice Taoism, you must gradually let go of everything in the secular world.
If you dare to enter the secular world and dare to be attached to everything in it, at best you will lose all your magical powers, and at worst you will die.
Even immortals are not much better.
Despite so many flaws and limitations, he still gave up his past identity to cultivate immortality, in order to achieve longevity and break free from the control of life and death.
In this situation, staying alive is the underlying motivation they need most.
Of course, there are also some cultivators who don’t want to live. These people either cause trouble and get killed, or cause big trouble, leave a mess, and then get killed.
In the eyes of the world, half of the people are the latter.
It is true that this half-man established an organization, but was filled with suffering because of the half-man.
The first is the Taoist poison of half of the people. These poisons make them constantly alienated, and they have to use magic power to suppress them continuously.
Secondly, I don’t know what I did afterwards, which caused Tianxin to hold a grudge against me. The karma was so huge that many people were implicated.
Many people even died under these two blows, and the rest, if not for their advanced cultivation, would have been buried long ago.
Now that Lu Bai has appeared, whether they are doing it for revenge or for some other purpose, they will not let Lu Bai go.
At the moment the bullet flew, many people looked at Lu Bai.
None of them were worried about whether Lu Bai would be killed by a sniper.
When one's strength reaches the third level, one is actually not that afraid of being sniped. After all, one who has reached the third level of strength can control ghosts and gods.
Ghosts are very sensitive. Even if they are being sniped, they can alert their masters first and then protect them.
It is difficult to kill a cultivator with a sniper rifle.
Sure enough, when the bullet hit the balcony, a shadow flashed by.
The bullet disappeared without a trace.
After firing once, the sniper quickly changed his position and moved to another sniper point.
At the same time, some talisman papers on his body began to spontaneously combust, making his figure appear to be between reality and illusion.
Although he is a mortal, he can be considered half a member of the mysterious sect.
He has a certain understanding of Xuanmen, has been cooperating with people from Xuanmen for many years, and also has some talismans and magic weapons made by people from Xuanmen.
People like them who have no cultivation of their own but have set foot in the mysterious world are called the lowest of the low.
Not only will they not be able to live long, but because they cooperate with people from the Xuanmen sect, they will need to perform certain rituals to reduce their resistance to a certain type of Xuanmen magic.
This leads to a decline in human luck, making it easy to encounter ghosts and bad luck.
However, you can also get some good things that are difficult for ordinary people to get.
Although people in the Xuanmen have various restrictions when interacting with ordinary people, if they are really capable, it would be easy for them to make money as long as they bypass some restrictions.
Therefore, you can earn a lot of money by cooperating with them, and you can also get some magical weapons to cure diseases and save lives.
This is also the reason why, despite the many disadvantages of Xiaxiadao, there are still many people willing to join.
Lu Bai frowned, and the Sanxiang ghost flew away.
Soon, the ghosts and gods delivered the message back.
The target was a repeat offender, and his traces and smells were concealed very well.
Even though they were lacking in human luck, the flaws had been hidden. If they cast spells in front of that person, they would still be retaliated by Tianxin.
This is also the standard template for the next step.
On the one hand, they cooperate with some people in the Xuanmen through rituals without much restriction, but on the other hand, they hide the gap in humanity opened by the rituals, and mainly use human weapons to target other people in the Xuanmen.
These despicable people are extremely dangerous, and many people from the Xuanmen sect have died at their hands.
There were even rumors that a Three Caverns True Cultivator had died in the lowest realms.
