Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 16

[Chapter 16: Traitor (Please recommend)]

And then to the fifteenth.

The moonlight is like mercury pouring on the ground.

Fang Xi rode a black-sailed boat and arrived at the black market in Jiangxinzhou.

Inside the wooden house.

Fatty Han was still as fat as a mountain. When he heard Fang Xi’s request, he was immediately shocked: “What? More?!”

He looked Fang Xi up and down and said, “The ten kilograms of meat you got last time is enough for an ordinary warrior to use for half a year. Did you eat it all, or do you have another elder?”

“What? Do you still need to care where the things you sell on the black market go?”

Fang Xi smiled slightly and took out the gold leaf.

It’s not that you can’t use jade leaves, but this will directly expose your identity.

“Of course not…”

Fatty Han’s mountain-like body moved, and he seemed to be struggling to turn sideways, and tore out a large piece of Tai Sui meat from the cave under him: “How much do you want this time?”

“Another ten pounds!”

Fang Xi’s expression remained unchanged.

“Good guy… I see that you have extraordinary strength and courage. Do you want to take some private jobs?” Fatty Han threw ten pounds of meat over and asked again.

“Oh? What kind of work?” Fang Xi asked casually.

“Let’s go outside the city and hunt monsters!” Fatty Han showed a ferocious smile: “Only martial artists with at least the third level of Qi and Blood can participate. It would be even better if they are real strength martial artists. Then we will distribute them according to their output!”

“Hunting monsters?”

Fang Xi was indeed very interested in the demon race in this world, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

His current strength is only at the initial stage of Qi Refining. If he encounters danger, it would be a great loss.

“Why…is there not enough demon meat in this shop?” Fang Xi asked back.

“No, no, it’s just that there’s a wandering demon beast that’s been harassing the business road… In a few days, your martial arts school might get a mission to assist.” Fatty Han shook his head repeatedly: “As for demon meat, our store will definitely not be short of it… Do you want to know why?”

As he spoke, a strange smile appeared on his face.

Combined with that mountain of flesh, it looks quite creepy.

If you have a strong imagination, you might start vomiting…

“Of course I know, because Tai Sui meat is different from other monster meats. As long as Tai Sui is buried deep underground and provided with nutrients, it will grow very fast…”

Fang Xi nodded slightly.

This is why this store always has demon meat for sale.

For other stores, once the monster meat is sold out, they have to organize people to hunt monsters. This is not only very dangerous, but the supply is also unstable.

“Tsk…who told you that?”

The mischievous smile on Fatty Han’s face disappeared, and the mountain of flesh collapsed back.

‘Isn’t it common sense that fungi grow very fast?’

“You underestimate my skills as a cultivator… In my eyes, you are no different from a mushroom farmer.”

Fang Xi muttered a few words in his mind, but did not answer. He walked out of the wooden house maintaining an unfathomable look.

After strolling around the black market, he came to a shed.

Compared with the previous ones, this wooden house looks much simpler. A white-haired old man sits behind the counter, seemingly reading a book.

He was wearing a starched blue shirt that looked bleached, which gave him a scholarly air, but considering his age, he gave people the impression of a failed scholar or a poor literati.

Seeing Fang Xi coming in, a smile immediately appeared on his face: “Customer wants to buy news?”

Everything is sold on the black market, and this wooden house is famous for selling intelligence.

“Exactly.”

Fang Xi was wearing a bamboo hat and had changed his clothes. “I wonder how to sell it here?”

The old man put down the book leisurely. “In this shop, any information has a price. It is divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black and yellow. The price of each level is different. If you want to buy the ‘Tian’ level information, then of course there is nothing to worry about. It’s just that in terms of money, hehe…”

The next moment, he closed his mouth.

Fang Xi pulled out a stack of gold leaves and said, “Give me information about martial arts forces, famous martial artists, and even advanced martial arts within a hundred miles… They must be of the ‘Heaven’ level!”

“certainly.”

The old man stood up quickly, his wrinkled face almost smiling like a chrysanthemum: “Dear guest, please take a seat. Would you like some tea? Our store has just received a few pounds of the best sparrow tongue tips, which are quite famous in Dingzhou…”

Fang Xi felt that the old man’s change of attitude was reasonable.

Making money!
Not bad!
However, when the old man dragged out a heavy box full of various books from the back of the house, Fang Xi’s expression under the veil finally began to change dramatically.

“What a miscalculation…”

“I didn’t expect the information to be so detailed…”

…

Fang Mansion.

After calling a few maids to massage his shoulders and legs, Fang Xi turned on the air conditioner and flipped through the intelligence books one by one.

“Yuanhe Mountain… was founded by ‘Master Yuanhe’ more than three hundred years ago. There is one sect master, six elders, and eight guest officials… The sect’s unique martial art is ‘Yuanhe Five Thunder Hands’…”

“The Black Stone City branch of Yuanhe Mountain is led by Linghu Yang, who defeated the master of the Rock Hall in just a few moves and easily dealt with the siege of several martial arts hall masters…”

“Chun Yu…defeated the Red Snake Pavilion Master Lu She…”

“Qiao Wuchang, his military record is not very good, he is a vicious person, and he likes to attack and ambush…”

…

“Zheng Tianbao, a lone warrior, is good at ‘Flying Clouds Technique’, and his combat record…”

“Gold medal detective Shangguan Yun has arrested many notorious thieves. His strength is probably above that of an ordinary martial arts gym owner…”

…

Fang Xi quickly interpreted the lines of information and then formed a general impression of the nearby martial arts forces.

“It seems that the strength of the martial arts community is really…weak.”

After a long time, Fang Xi put down the book, feeling helpless.

But this is normal. Real masters rarely open martial arts schools.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

But it is really unexpected that it is so weak.

If you think about it, perhaps a branch of Yuanhe Mountain Black Stone City can probably destroy all martial arts schools!
Those seemingly powerful martial arts school owners are just background boards or part of the record for martial artists of sects and even lone warriors…

“Linghu Yang… may have surpassed the realm of a martial arts gym master and entered a whole new level. He won’t be easy to kill. We should temporarily abandon our plan against Yuanhe Mountain…”

‘Perhaps, going to other martial arts schools and learning from their strengths is also a way to improve your body?’

“Before that, should we deal with the Red Snake Martial Arts School? Both She Lei and Lu She will definitely bear a grudge against me…”

Fang Xi finished his thoughts, put down a secret intelligence book, and was about to teach Lily some leg techniques.

As the fragrant wind passed by, Yue Gui came over slowly and bowed: “Sir… Steward Fu wants to see you!”

“Afu? Let him in!”

Fang Xi nodded.

After a while, the old butler Ah Fu, with long white hair and a sage-like appearance, walked in and bowed respectfully: “Master!”

“Get up.” Fang Xi waved his hand.

In the world of immortal cultivation, appearance is by no means a criterion for measuring strength. There are many cultivators who have a fairy-like appearance but are actually corrupt inside.

This is even more true in Daliang.

“My Lord, I have been in the city for a while and have heard a piece of news that may be useful to you…”

Ah Fu bowed.

“Is it useful to me? Tell me! If it is true, you will be rewarded handsomely.” Fang Xi was relatively lenient towards his servants.

At least, they wouldn’t be like the noble families in the city, who had to carry people to mass graves for burial from time to time.

Moreover, once you have made a contribution, you will be rewarded greatly!

This led to a high level of enthusiasm among the servants in the Fang Mansion.

“It’s like this… There was a party in the city, and the guests were all wealthy. It is said that some precious items were sold during the banquet to liven up the atmosphere… In addition to antiques, expensive medicinal materials, and BMWs, there were also martial arts secrets and even demon materials!” said Ah Fu.

“Oh?” Fang Xi’s eyes lit up: “When and where?”

“Five days later, Wanbao Pavilion!” Ah Fu replied, “If the master needs it, this old servant can get an invitation.”

“Not bad, not bad, there will be a huge reward!”

Fang Xi laughed out loud.

…

night.

There was silence in the Fang Mansion.

Fang Xi sat in front of the desk, looking at the places he had decorated in the room, his expression a little uncertain.

Although he enjoyed himself, he still retained the cautious habit of a casual cultivator, and the most important bedroom was always entered by only himself.

Even when playing with the maids, it was in other rooms.

At this moment, he sighed: “Several strands of my hair have signs of being moved. Did someone sneak into my bedroom?”

In fact, Fang Xi also knew that his servants were all purchased and not born in the family for generations, so they lacked loyalty and brainwashing.

I can tolerate a little bit of personal gain in normal times.

But this matter has crossed the bottom line!
“Who is it? Bribed the people in my house? Are you trying to find out the secret of why I disappeared for a few days and where the gold and silver are hidden?”

Fang Xi’s expression turned completely cold.

As long as you know about this kind of thing, and then carefully check the servants who often go out of the house and come into contact with people, you can always find clues!
What’s more, with the means of cultivators, even if the traitor wants to hide, he can’t hide!

“I hope it’s not those few people…”

Fang Xi murmured and suddenly sighed.

There are always many troubles in this world, so some cultivators are heartless and ruthless, abandoning love throughout their lives and only seeking the great way.

He is a little better, but he is also a… indifferent and heartless person!
