Chapter 165: Winning over the Independent Cultivators
This work took more than a month, and finally Wei Hanshan successfully won over five Qi Refining Level 9 loose cultivators.
This made the number of Qi Refining Level 9 loose cultivators in Wugu jump to 12, which was much more than the number of Qi Refining Level 9 in the heyday of the Zhou family.
This also greatly improved the strength of the entire Wugu.
It laid a solid foundation for the opening of the Wugu Market and the auction.
When the half-year period was about to come, Zhou Daocheng also chose to return to Wugu and began to fully control the overall situation.
At the same time, after half a year of fermentation, the number of loose cultivators around Wugu, as well as the number of cultivators from various families and sects, increased a lot.
Many of these cultivators came from other places, and a large part of the reason was because of the battle between Qingshan Sect and Lingding Sect.
The war between the two major Purple Mansion forces not only showed no signs of ending, but intensified, and the battle between Purple Mansion strongmen had begun to appear.
The large spirit boat of Qingshan Sect has been stationed at the western border for a long time, always ready to deal with the sneak attacks of Lingding Sect.
The battlefield of the foundation-building masters is like a huge meat grinder, which is constantly devouring the number of foundation-building masters.
Not to mention the masters in the early and middle stages of foundation-building, even the top masters at the peak of foundation-building have suffered losses in this war.
The spirit veins that the two major purple palace forces have fought for have finally revealed their quality.
This is a third-grade high-quality spirit stone vein, and it also extends 3 first-grade high-quality and 5 first-grade medium-quality spirit veins. Its value is not small.
It is precisely because of such great interests that both sides are unwilling to give in, and because of the continuous accumulation of hatred during the battle, they have already fought a real fire.
Many foundation-building masters died in the war, and the inheritance of their forces was cut off. They were subsequently targeted by hostile forces and suffered heavy losses.
Under such circumstances, the number of independent cultivators increased sharply, and the impoverished families began to flee in all directions, and the eastern border was a good choice.
Therefore, in the past six months, the number of cultivators around Baihefang City has increased significantly, and it has also become much more lively.
For this reason, the number of people around Wugu has also been increasing, and because it is closer to the East Great Wilderness Vein, there are more natural treasures and more treasures, which attracts more powerful cultivators.
During Zhou Daocheng's journey to Wugu, he met many fellow cultivators,
some of whom were independent cultivators, as well as family and sect forces; some were upright cultivators, and some were evil cultivators who killed people without blinking an eye and tried to kill people for treasures.
When he was only one day away from Wugu, Zhou Daocheng accidentally encountered the situation of evil cultivators killing people for treasures.
Seven or eight evil cultivators wearing black clothes and ghost masks surrounded a small family team.
The air was filled with the smell of blood, and an old man had already fallen in a pool of blood, his pupils widened with fear, but his vitality had gradually faded.
A young man in the team stuffed a pill into the old man's mouth while shouting in grief and anger: "Grandpa! Grandpa, hold on, we will kill these evil cultivators immediately to avenge you."
The other family members stood back to back, their eyes full of anger and fear.
Especially the young boys and girls, they are all young descendants of the family, where have they seen such a scene? They were frightened to the point of turning pale, and their hands holding the knife were shaking slightly,
"Hehe, revenge, kid, you better wait to die."
The evil cultivator in black had a fierce look in his eyes, and a powerful aura was fluctuating around him, and the white bone long knife in his hand was stained with blood.
Another person licked his lips and smiled lewdly: "Tsk tsk tsk, another team from a small family, I like it the most!"
"That's right, the little girls in the family are so tender, they cry for their parents when they play, much more exciting than the girls in the brothel!"
"Hehehe, I like little girls with strong tempers, the more stubborn the better."
"Hmph!"
The leader said coldly, "Don't think about girls all day, get rid of them as soon as possible, so as to avoid more troubles."
As he said, the magic weapon in his hand emitted a black light, and a thick black gas rose, spreading towards the family team.
Another evil cultivator in black said impatiently: "I know, boss, you can't even move when you see a handsome boy, so don't talk about us."
"Stop talking nonsense, kill all the old guys, and leave the young ones to take away."
The conflict was about to break out, and the two sides immediately fought in a group.
After just a few rounds, the middle-aged man in the family team showed a look of horror. Not only was he beaten back repeatedly, but even his magic weapon was directly chopped off.
Even if he tried his best to resist, he was still in an absolute disadvantage.
There were only a dozen people in the family team, and most of them were the younger generation of the family, and most of them were only in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining.
The strongest ones were just a few middle-aged people, barely reaching the seventh and eighth levels of Qi Refining, but they were far behind the black-clothed evil cultivators.
All eight evil cultivators reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, and the leader was a ninth-level Qi Refining strongman with very good strength.
After just a few encounters, he chopped down another middle-aged man to the ground.
The black-clothed evil cultivator showed no mercy. , the white bone knife went up along the sternum, and with a shrill scream, the entire right hand was chopped off with one knife.
"Ah... Ah!"
"Father!" The green-clothed female attacker surrounded in the middle suddenly changed color and rushed to the middle-aged man on the ground.
"Hehehe, this little girl is really pretty. Just play with her, guys. Don't damage her. If we sell her to Luanmingju, she can be worth a lot of spirit stones!"
The lewd evil laugh echoed in the jungle, forming a sharp contrast with the desperate and fearful faces.
Zhou Daocheng frowned as he watched this scene. He didn't expect that the evil cultivators would be so rampant now, besieging and killing the family cultivators in broad daylight.
This is the bad influence brought by war, which increases the number of evil cultivators and endangers the peace of the cultivation world.
But Zhou Daocheng was not interested in this kind of thing. After all, the world is bustling and everyone is seeking profit. He didn't need to deliberately cause trouble.
Moreover, a ninth-level Qi Refining plus seven eighth-level Qi Refining can be regarded as a very strong force.
Even if Zhou Daocheng took action, it would probably take a lot of effort.
However, just as Zhou Daocheng was about to turn around and leave, he unexpectedly saw the face of a person in the crowd and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Who is this person..."
Seeing the evil cultivator slashing down with a fierce and domineering aura, and about to kill the family team, suddenly a green light stabbed swiftly.
In an instant, the green light passed through the heart, instantly taking away a living life, leaving only a terrifying sound of breaking through the air.
"Who?!"
The evil cultivator of the ninth level of Qi training shouted in fear, and hurriedly looked around.
But there was no response.
The green light did not hesitate at all, and pierced through the chests of several eighth-level Qi training cultivators at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye, and a stronger smell of blood filled the air.
