Chapter 164: The market town was in chaos, with robbers and robbers everywhere!

As the auction ended, the flow of people in the market rapidly decreased.

After all, this surge in traffic in the market was mostly to participate in the auction or to join in the fun of trading.

Only a small portion of the people would choose to settle in Red Leaf Valley Market.

Lu Miaohuan, Lu Miaoyun, and Qu Zhenzhen also returned to Green Bamboo Mountain with Lu Yuanding and Lu Yuanzhong.

Lu Changsheng, however, did not go back with them.

He planned to return after some time.

He arrived at the small courtyard he rented with Xiao Xiyue.

“Changsheng.”

When Xiao Xiyue saw Lu Changsheng, a gentle look appeared on her usually cold face.

She handed the spirit stones from the auction and the True Yang Five Elements Sword to Lu Changsheng.

“Thank you for your hard work, Xiyue.”

Lu Changsheng took the spirit stones and the spirit sword from Xiao Xiyue’s hand.

Then, he began to examine the True Yang Five Elements Sword.

The spirit sword was three feet long and one inch wide, with the hilt and blade being crimson gold in color.

The hilt had a wooden texture, and the blade was engraved with five elements cloud patterns, shimmering with a faint golden halo.

Just looking at it, a sharp aura rushed towards him.

Even without refining it yet, Lu Changsheng felt that this spirit sword was good and very suitable for him.

“Changsheng, this True Yang Five Elements Sword also has a set of special refining methods.”

Xiao Xiyue took out another jade slip and handed it to Lu Changsheng.

The biggest difference between spirit tools and magical tools is that spirit tools can be refined to recognize their owner, allowing them to be used as easily as one’s own limbs, greatly increasing their power during battles.

Even if taken away by an enemy, they would be difficult to refine in a short period.

“Oh, it actually has a matching refining method.”

Lu Changsheng took the jade slip and raised his eyebrows.

He had long heard that some high-quality magical tools and spirit tools would have special ‘object control techniques’ and ‘refining methods’.

He scanned the refining method in the jade slip with his divine sense.

It was a set of ‘blood refining methods’.

Through blood sacrifice refining, the spirit tool’s power would be maximized in the hands of its first owner.

Even if the spirit sword was taken away, forcibly refining it without the matching refining method would result in a significantly reduced power.

This kind of spirit tool with a special refining method has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that its power is stronger than ordinary spirit tools.

The disadvantage is that if it is resold, its value depreciates significantly.

After looking at it for a while, Lu Changsheng put away the True Yang Five Elements Sword and did not start refining it immediately.

After all, there were more important things to do.

A few days later.

After finishing the important things, Lu Changsheng began to refine the True Yang Five Elements Sword.

Refining a spirit tool is not difficult, especially when it is ownerless.

It only took Lu Changsheng half a day to refine this True Yang Five Elements Sword.

“Go!”

Arriving in the small courtyard, Lu Changsheng’s mind stirred slightly, and the True Yang Five Elements Sword flew out from his hand.

The spirit sword was like a startled dragon, humming softly, with the sharp aura of Geng metal erupting, and sword energy crisscrossing.

The next moment, the Geng metal sharpness of the spirit sword changed, turning into a turbulent wave, with continuous blue mysterious patterns.

Then the spirit sword changed again, with a fiery red aura permeating the sword body, surging like a roaring fire dragon.

Xiao Xiyue, dressed in a moon-white dress, with a holy and graceful figure, looked at the scene in front of her, her eyes revealing surprise and astonishment.

Although Lu Changsheng was just playing with the True Yang Five Elements Sword.

He did not show its power.

But this kind of small trick let her see that his sword technique was extraordinary.

“Seven Luminaries Sword Scripture.”

Xiao Xiyue murmured in her heart.

Lu Changsheng had told her before that the cultivation technique he practiced was called the Seven Luminaries Sword Scripture.

But she had never seen Lu Changsheng use this technique.

Now she could be considered to have seen some of it.

She roughly understood what the Seven Luminaries meant.

“Not bad, it is indeed more handy than the previous two spirit swords.”

Lu Changsheng retracted the sword light, his face showing satisfaction.

Although it was not possible to use it fully in this small courtyard and there was no way to test its power.

But after a simple experience, he roughly knew how powerful this spirit sword was.

It was more handy than the white flying sword of the red-robed youth and the golden flying sword of Meng Yibai.

It could better display his Seven Luminaries Sword Qi.

If there was a problem, it was that the main power amplification of this flying sword was in the five elements.

Among them, True Yang Firmiana only played a guiding role, and had no amplification effect on the Yin and Yang attributes.

But being content brings happiness, in Lu Changsheng’s view, this was already enough, and the seven thousand nine hundred spirit stones were not a loss.

“It seems that Lang Jun is very satisfied with this spirit sword.”

“If Lang Jun needs it, when Xiyue has a certain contribution value in the sect, she can ask a refining master to add Yin and Yang attribute spirit materials to recast this sword, so that it can be promoted to a high-grade, or even top-grade, spirit tool, then it will have all five elements of Yin and Yang, and it should be more suitable for Lang Jun.”

Xiao Xiyue looked at the satisfied look on Lu Changsheng’s face, smiled, and said softly.

Through Lu Changsheng’s demonstration, she understood the meaning of the Seven Luminaries.

She also knew why Lu Changsheng asked her to bid for this spirit sword, and where this spirit sword was lacking for Lu Changsheng.

“Hehe, I will trouble Xiyue again when I need it in the future.”

“For me now, this spirit sword is enough.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and said when he heard this.

He felt that with Xiao Xiyue as a connection, many things could be made easier.

It would be more troublesome for him to invite a second-order master.

But for Xiao Xiyue, a disciple of the Immortal Sect, it could be completely resolved within the Green Cloud Sect.

“Xiyue, someone bid against you at the auction before, maybe they hold a grudge against you, do you want me to kill him and resolve the grievances?”

Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Xiyue, who was standing tall and graceful, with a beautiful immortal appearance, and suddenly said.

It was not that he had become narrow-minded and vengeful.

If this kind of thing happened to him, he would just ignore it if the other party glared at him.

Unless the other party really came to trouble him, he would not bother to hold a grudge.

But this matter fell on Xiao Xiyue, and she bought the True Yang Five Elements Sword for him, which caused this person to hold a grudge, so he naturally had to express his attitude.

“Xiyue doesn’t care about this little thing, Lang Jun doesn’t need to be like this.”

Xiao Xiyue heard this and immediately showed a smile like a little girl.

She was not a petty person.

Moreover, practicing the Supreme Emotionless Technique, her emotions are mostly not disturbed by external things, and she does not care about this little thing.

But Lu Changsheng’s words still stirred up a few sweet ripples in her heart.

“Okay.”

Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile.

Immediately, the two chatted for a while, then disguised themselves and went out, changing their identities and returning to the cave area.

Now that the auction was over, there was no need to use this Foundation Establishment fake identity anymore.

Otherwise, two Foundation Establishment cultivators with unknown origins living in the market would make the four major families uneasy and be targeted.

After returning to the cave area, Lu Changsheng found that there were many more people here.

He learned that someone was preparing to break through to Foundation Establishment, so many people came to watch.

Moreover, Red Leaf Valley Market had newly issued a policy.

As long as certain conditions are met in Red Leaf Market, the market can provide a cave for breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

“In order to make the traffic of Red Leaf Valley Market increase rapidly, these four families are really racking their brains.”

“But doing so, I’m afraid there are some risks.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly when he saw this announcement.

Generally, only large markets and immortal cities would allow people to break through to Foundation Establishment.

Red Leaf Valley has only a second-order middle-grade spiritual vein below it, and the spiritual vein is not large, so it can only be considered a medium-sized market.

Maintaining the internal spiritual energy and the operation of the great formation of the market is almost enough.

If someone breaks through to Foundation Establishment, a large area of ​​heaven and earth spiritual energy will inevitably have a certain impact on the operation of the great formation.

If an enemy attack is encountered during this period, it will cause the great formation to be unable to operate at full strength.

However, in the early stage of the market’s development, it can only try to come up with advantages and benefits to attract people to settle down and spend money.

Moreover, the four families dare to issue this policy because their respective families are not far from Red Leaf Valley Market.

If they encounter any trouble, they can come to suppress it as soon as possible.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.

Lu Family Spirit Talisman Shop, third floor.

“Sister Miaoge, this step belongs to the transition between the upper and lower, so the spiritual power must be slowed down, like a trickle.”

On this day, Lu Changsheng was guiding Lu Miaoge in making talismans.

In the past, he would exchange talisman insights with Lu Miaoge, or give subtle hints.

Now that he has broken through to Foundation Establishment and is considered the number one talisman master in the Lu family, he is more willing to show a few points and directly guide and teach her.

After all, she is his wife.

Moreover, with more teaching and guidance, Lu Miaoge can also be promoted to a second-order talisman master in the fastest time.

“Come, let me draw it with you once.”

After guiding and teaching, Lu Changsheng held Lu Miaoge’s white and smooth hand, teaching her hand in hand, and leading her to draw the talisman.

In this way, half an hour later, the talisman was successfully drawn.

“Changsheng, your talisman-making skills, I’m afraid it won’t be long before you can successfully draw second-order talismans and be promoted to a second-order talisman master, right?”

As the talisman was successfully drawn, Lu Miaoge looked at Lu Changsheng with her gentle and watery beautiful eyes, and said aloud.

As a talisman master, she could clearly feel how exquisite Lu Changsheng’s talisman-making skills were through this kind of hand-in-hand teaching.

Even if Lu Changsheng said he was a second-order talisman master, she would believe it.

Because although they were both top-tier first-order talisman masters, she felt that she and Lu Changsheng were worlds apart.

“Probably another year or two.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and said.

He had always been clear about this.

He planned to reveal himself as a second-order talisman master in another year and a half.

After revealing that he had broken through to the seventh level of Qi training, he began to exchange for second-order talisman-making materials in the Lu family, revealing that he was trying to draw second-order talismans.

“Two years.”

Lu Miaoge’s beautiful eyes were full of joy when she heard this.

After so many years of getting along, and as husband and wife, she naturally knew that if Lu Changsheng dared to say this, then he was confident.

He would definitely be able to advance to a second-order talisman master within two years.

This made her feel extremely happy.

After all, as a wife, who wouldn’t want her husband to be powerful and accomplished?

Although a second-order talisman master is not as good as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even Foundation Establishment cultivators would give a second-order talisman master some face.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng was only in his thirties.

Becoming a second-order talisman master at this age meant that he had unlimited potential in the path of talismans.

If he was willing to work for a large force and make friends with Foundation Establishment cultivators, he might be able to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill and attempt Foundation Establishment.

Lu Changsheng saw Lu Miaoge looking at him with joy.

In her gentle and watery beautiful eyes, there was not only the love and attachment between husband and wife, but also a kind of maternal radiance and a little girl’s worship and admiration.

Just one look at this gaze made people feel soft and moved.

To love a person’s eyebrows and eyes is nothing more than this.

“That’s right, in at most two years, your husband will advance to a second-order talisman master.”

Lu Changsheng’s heart was also stirred when he saw this look.

Thinking of Lu Miaoge’s tolerance towards him over the years, her gentleness, intellect, and understanding in front of him.

He had a feeling of ‘having a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for’.

“Miaoge, you should know that I have always been hiding my cultivation.”

“In fact, before I revealed that I had broken through to the seventh level of Qi training, I had actually broken through to the ninth level of Qi training.”

Thinking that the news of his upcoming advancement to a second-order talisman master made Lu Miaoge so happy.

Lu Changsheng simply gave her some more news to make her happy.

After all, when he saved Lu Miaoge through dual cultivation, she knew that he had the cultivation of the late stage of Qi training.

It’s just that he didn’t say it, and Lu Miaoge never asked about it.

Now that he had broken through to Foundation Establishment, it didn’t matter if he revealed a little bit about his cultivation.

“Ninth level of Qi training!”

“Changsheng, you’ve broken through to the ninth level of Qi training!”

Lu Miaoge was indeed extremely surprised and happy when she heard this, her beautiful eyes flowing with tenderness, full of joy for him.

In the world of cultivation, breaking through to the late stage of Qi training at the age of forty meant there was hope for Foundation Establishment.

Now that Lu Changsheng had broken through to the ninth level of Qi training at the age of thirty-three, it was no exaggeration to say that he was a genius.

In the entire Green Bamboo Mountain, there were not many people who could break through to the ninth level of Qi training at this age.

Although she didn’t know why Lu Changsheng’s ninth-grade spiritual root could have this cultivation in more than ten years, she didn’t ask much.

Knowing that Lu Changsheng had his own secrets.

“Naturally, when have I ever lied to you?”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile as he looked at her like this, and said so.

But he felt ashamed in his heart that he had deceived her again in terms of cultivation.

“I knew you were extraordinary, Changsheng.”

Lu Miaoge’s face was beautiful and gentle, and her heart was filled with joy as she said, “Why did you suddenly tell me this today?”

She had long known that Lu Changsheng had the cultivation of the late stage of Qi training, but she didn’t know the specific cultivation.

“Because I know that you have always hoped that I would cultivate well and strive for Foundation Establishment in the future.”

“Seeing that the matter of the second-order talisman master makes you so happy, so I don’t want to hide it, I want to make you even happier.”

Lu Changsheng hugged Lu Miaoge, gently resting his chin on her black hair, and said truthfully.

“Yeah, I’m very happy.”

“I believe that you will definitely be able to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the future, Changsheng.”

Lu Miaoge snuggled in Lu Changsheng’s arms, her heart sweet, her beautiful eyes full of love and tenderness, and said softly.

After getting along for so many years, she naturally knew that Lu Changsheng had many secrets.

Whether it was saving her in the beginning, or now being at the ninth level of Qi training, or the previous Three Yang Pills and so on.

Outsiders may not be able to tell, but as a bedfellow, she could always detect something.

Now that Lu Changsheng was willing to reveal it to her, it also made her very happy.

“Not me, it’s us.”

“In the future, we will all be able to achieve Foundation Establishment.”

Lu Changsheng said softly.

He not only had the Foundation Establishment Pill, but also four Foundation Establishment spiritual objects.

The reason why these Foundation Establishment spiritual objects were not sold was to keep them for Lu Miaoge.

With these conditions, he didn’t believe that Lu Miaoge would still fail to establish her foundation successfully.

If she still failed, he would use the dual cultivation secret technique in the Yin-Yang Harmony Skill to forcibly help Lu Miaoge condense her Dao foundation.

Even if it was only a shattered Dao foundation, it could still be slowly repaired into a flawless Dao foundation with the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao foundation afterwards.

“Yeah.”

Lu Miaoge responded softly, snuggling in Lu Changsheng’s arms, her moist beautiful eyes full of tenderness and love, revealing a look of longing.

Looking forward to the day when this would really happen.

But she knew her own affairs.

She was very clear that she didn’t have the Foundation Establishment Pill, and if she only relied on a few Foundation Establishment spiritual objects, she would only have a two or three percent chance of establishing her foundation.

The two of them hugged quietly like this.

After a while, Lu Miaoge’s delicate body trembled slightly, her limbs were soft, her cheeks were slightly red, and her slender neck was slightly raised.

“Hmm~ Is someone attempting Foundation Establishment?”

At this time, Lu Miaoge saw outside the window, in the cave area of ​​Red Leaf Valley, a burst of spiritual energy vortex was slowly condensing, and she slightly held down Lu Changsheng’s mischievous behavior in front of her chest.

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he also stopped his movements and turned his head to look out the window.

He immediately saw that there was a spiritual energy vortex of several feet in the distance constantly condensing and growing larger.

This step showed that the other party had passed the three barriers of Foundation Establishment and began to condense spiritual power into liquid, preparing to hold up the Dao foundation.

“He should be the cultivator who photographed the ‘Earth Fire Spiritual Liquid’.”

“It seems that he has passed the three barriers of Foundation Establishment and has reached the critical stage of Foundation Establishment.”

Lu Changsheng said aloud.

“I heard that he only has the ‘Earth Fire Spiritual Liquid’ as a Foundation Establishment spiritual object, and I don’t know if he can succeed.”

Lu Miaoge’s flushed and delicate face showed a bit of sentimentality.

She wasn’t worried about the other party.

But seeing her own future path.

After all, most cultivators want to establish their foundation without the Foundation Establishment Pill, they can only gamble with their lives.

Betting on that one or two percent chance.

Every one or two generations, the Lu family will have a Foundation Establishment seed to try to establish their foundation.

But it wasn’t until the Lu family’s ancestor was nearing the end of his life that Lu Yuanzhong established his foundation, so it was known how difficult this kind of life-threatening probability was.

Moreover, Lu Yuanzhong was able to establish his foundation because Lu Yuanshan obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill material in the Violet Nether Secret Realm and partnered with someone to refine pills, and only succeeded in breaking through with the Foundation Establishment Pill.

“Hard to say, after all, the most difficult thing about Foundation Establishment is this step, and 80% of people fail at this hurdle.”

Lu Changsheng gently played with the plump and smooth snow, and said so.

He still admired people who dared to gamble with their lives for a one or two percent chance without the Foundation Establishment Pill.

After all, these people who can fight and dare to fight are actually not bad.

Not only are their spiritual roots good, but they are also relatively young, only in their forties or fifties.

In this case, they dare to give up everything and gamble with their lives for the one or two percent chance of Foundation Establishment.

“Miaoge, it’s getting late.”

After watching for a while, Lu Changsheng lost interest and said softly to the beautiful woman in front of him.

After all, how could this Foundation Establishment phenomenon be as good-looking as the beauty in front of him?

Moreover, Foundation Establishment is not something that can have results in a short time, and it takes time.

“Hmm~”

Lu Miaoge looked at Lu Changsheng, who was like a child, hummed coquettishly, and glared at Lu Changsheng with her beautiful eyes.

But being entangled by Lu Changsheng like this also made her heart feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

At this time, around the cave area, many cultivators watched the vortex of heaven and earth spiritual energy in the sky.

In large square markets and immortal cities, one or two people will try to establish their foundation every year, so everyone is not surprised.

But in this Red Leaf Valley square market, Foundation Establishment is a rare thing, the first time, so naturally many people come to watch.

Some people also want to see if this person can successfully break through.

If he succeeds, go up to congratulate him, get acquainted, and maybe the other party will be in a good mood and give himself some rewards.

“It’s already starting to congeal. In another three days, it will be a good time to make a move.”

In the crowd, a burly middle-aged man and a graceful woman in a blue robe exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and then left.

Three days later.

It was night.

After the hustle and bustle of the day, the Hongye Valley Market fell into silence in the deep night.

Apart from the law enforcement cultivators patrolling the streets in the sky, only a few shops and inns were still lit.

After all, cultivators also need to rest.

Most cultivators would either sleep or meditate and cultivate at night.

“Creak-”

Inside an inn, three figures wearing gray robes and bamboo hats walked out of a room.

They exchanged a glance, nodded, and quickly went to the first floor.

The latest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba!

“Where are the spirit stones of the shop?”

The burly man at the head looked at the shopkeeper guarding the counter and said in a deep voice.

“Spirit stones, what spirit stones?”

The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this and didn’t react.

But the next moment, a white bone crossbow arrow locked him with a terrifying aura, causing him to shiver suddenly, his whole body feeling goosebumps, and he understood what was happening.

Robber cultivators!

The man in front of him was a robber cultivator, a Foundation Establishment robber cultivator!

“Senior, the spirit stones are all here, all here.”

The shopkeeper couldn’t help but tremble, and quickly took out a storage bag, with a somewhat stiff face, flattering and begging for mercy.

Knowing that the other party was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and dared to rob so brazenly, he didn’t dare to disobey in the slightest.

He knew that if he slightly displeased the other party, he would lose his life.

“Is there more?”

The burly man glanced at the storage bag and asked in a hoarse voice.

He chose to attack this inn after observing it. The inn’s business was very good.

“Senior, our inn settles spirit stones once a week. The owner comes over every week to clear the accounts. All the spirit stones are here.”

The shopkeeper immediately said with a mournful face.

After speaking, he somewhat painfully took out his own storage bag and said: “Senior, this is my own savings. If senior takes a fancy to it, please take it. I only ask .”

However, before he could finish speaking, a white bone arrow shot out.

“Puff!”

“Heh, heh, heh-”

The small arrow directly pierced through the shopkeeper’s head, causing his eyes to widen, filled with unwillingness as he died. He wanted to make a sound but couldn’t.

Then, with a ‘plop’, he fell to the ground, his whole body’s blood quickly sucked away by the white bone arrow, turning into a dried corpse.

“The agreed time is almost up. You guys go and affect the great formation first, I’ll take care of this side.”

The burly man looked at the gray-robed female cultivator and the gray-robed youth beside him, and said in a deep voice.

“Dad, be careful.”

The gray-robed youth said with concern.

“Stop dawdling.”

The burly man waved his hand impatiently when he heard this.

Immediately, the gray-robed female cultivator pulled the gray-robed youth away quickly.

“Azure Wolf.”

The burly man patted his spirit beast bag.

An Azure Wolf, ten feet tall, with black fur, dark eyes, and ferocious fangs, appeared beside him.

After the Azure Wolf appeared, it opened its bloody mouth and devoured the shopkeeper’s dried corpse in front of it.

Then it came to the entrance of the inn, revealing a fierce light that chose people to devour.

The burly man took out a black gourd the size of a child.

“Go!”

The burly man made a hand seal and opened the gourd stopper.

A stream of black flames, like a fire snake, poured out from the mouth of the gourd.

Immediately, the entire inn was set ablaze, with black smoke rising into the sky.

As the black flames raged, black smoke filled the air, and bursts of wailing and screams rang out from inside the inn.

“What’s going on!”

“It’s on fire!”

“No, this is not a fire, this is Fiend Flame, there is Fire Poison!”

After sensing the danger, the cultivators in the inn immediately jumped out of the windows and escaped with their magical instruments.

But the burly man, with the Azure Giant Wolf, held the black gourd in one hand and the white bone crossbow arrow in the other, and squatted outside the inn.

As long as someone escaped from the inn, he would quickly strike, a white bone arrow shot out, killing the person and taking away the storage bag, his movements were extremely skilled.

“Bold robber cultivator, how dare you cause trouble in the market!”

Before long, the law enforcement team patrolling the Hongye Valley Market noticed the commotion here, the soaring black smoke, and quickly rushed over.

“Puff!”

However, facing this group of law enforcement cultivators, the burly man was not afraid at all.

The white bone crossbow arrow in his hand burst out, directly killing a law enforcement cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage.

“Not good! It’s a Foundation Establishment cultivator!”

“Quickly notify the Old Ancestor!”

The other law enforcement cultivators were shocked when they saw this, exclaimed in their mouths, and took out the communication jade token.

At the same time, they activated the array device, wanting to use the power of the market’s great formation to fight against the burly man.

But the burly man was prepared.

The look under his bamboo hat was indifferent and calm, and he made a hand seal, causing a burst of gray light pillars to surge on the ground.

Letting the black smoke that was burning the inn just now roll towards this side, like black clouds pressing down on the top.

In order to prevent anyone from escaping and someone from rushing over, he had laid down a means just now.

The black smoke rolled towards the several law enforcement cultivators, causing them to feel the Fire Poison entering their bodies, their movements stiff, and their spiritual power sluggish.

“Puff, puff, puff-”

The next moment, white bone crossbow arrows shot out continuously, turning into a series of soul-snatching streamers, quickly killing several people.

“Roar!”

The Azure Wolf next to him roared and devoured the corpses.

“Go.”

Seeing that the cleanup here was almost done, the burly man adjusted the bamboo hat on his head and quickly rushed towards a magical instrument shop.

He had prepared for this wave of robbery for more than half a month.

He had naturally scouted the market well, so that he could maximize his gains as much as possible.

Just as the burly man was holding the black gourd, using the black flames to break open the formation of the magical instrument shop and looting it, he sensed a Foundation Establishment aura rushing towards this side.

“Finally here.”

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he took out a communication talisman and crushed it.

“Bold robber cultivator, how dare you cause trouble in my Hongye Valley Market!”

An angry roar resounded in the night sky.

Before the person arrived, a scarlet-yellow round wheel came first.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-”

The golden wheel rotated rapidly in the air, like a great sun, blooming with a scorching aura, its power surging.

“Swish-”

When the burly man saw this, wisps of dark blood filled the white bone crossbow arrow in his hand, and a white bone arrow with flowing blood patterns shot out suddenly.

“Clang-”

The white bone arrow and the scarlet-yellow round wheel collided together, making a deafening metallic sound in the air.

Immediately afterwards, two streams of mana surged, setting off layers of air waves in the night sky.

“Hmm, Foundation Establishment cultivator! ?”

Yu Yuanshan looked at the burly man, his pupils shrank slightly, revealing a dignified look.

But when he saw the magical instrument shop billowing with black smoke, anger immediately burned in his eyes.

This magical instrument shop was his Yu family’s shop.

There were at least magical instruments worth nearly ten thousand spirit stones in the shop.

Now that the shop had been looted, it was equivalent to losing nearly ten thousand spirit stones.

This amount of spirit stones was also a huge sum for their Yu family.

“Dare to come to my Hongye Valley Market to rob, die!”

He shouted angrily, and another icy blue moon wheel appeared around him.

The moon wheel rotated, emitting a chilling air, causing the temperature of the surrounding air to drop a few points, and suddenly killed towards the burly man.

At the same time, a formation plate appeared in his hand, and he moved the formation plate, wanting to use the power of the market’s great formation to suppress and kill him.

But the next moment.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Countless lightning strikes bombarded the Hongye Valley Market’s second-order great formation ‘Azure Cloud Water Formation’.

Making the great formation flicker, countless spiritual lights gathered, like thunder snakes dancing wildly, flickering in the night, accompanied by muffled thunder-like bursts of explosions.

At this moment, the tranquility in the market was completely broken, and it became noisy and boiling.

Many hidden robber cultivators, as if receiving a signal, directly held magical instruments and rushed towards shops and businesses.

“This!”

Yu Yuanshan’s face changed drastically when he saw this scene.

He was not afraid of the other party in the market, because there was the Azure Cloud Water Great Formation.

Under the blessing of this great formation, with the power of the formation, he was confident that he could kill a Foundation Establishment middle-stage cultivator.

Even if facing the Foundation Establishment late stage, he could delay until support came.

But seeing this situation, he immediately realized that the other party dared to rob the market so brazenly, they were also prepared.

“Fellow Daoist, I don’t care who you are, if you are willing to retreat now, I am willing to let bygones be bygones, and the matter will end here.”

Yu Yuanshan said to the burly man, suppressing the anger in his heart.

Now the Hongye Valley Market is causing insufficient internal spiritual energy circulation because someone is impacting Foundation Establishment, and the great formation cannot operate at full power.

But now that the great array was being bombarded and pried open like this, he could see that there was another Foundation Establishment cultivator on the other side.

Two Foundation Establishment cultivators, although he could rely on the array to barely delay them until support arrived.

But if things continued to escalate, the entire market would be thrown into chaos.

If the market was thrown into chaos, all the years of management and effort by their four major families, the glimmer of hope they had just seen, would be ruined.

“Leave now?”

The burly man, upon hearing this, chuckled as if he had heard a joke.

He looked at Yu Yuanshan and said in a hoarse voice, “How about this, as long as you don’t interfere with me, I’ll try not to loot your Yu family’s shops.”

“At most half an hour, and I’ll leave immediately, how about it?”

The burly man said this because he knew that he would have to leave after a brief looting.

Otherwise, if the four major families of Hongye Valley Market received the information and came to support, even he would find it difficult to resist.

“Fellow Daoist, you’re joking. If you leave now, it’s still not too late,” Yu Yuanshan said with a gloomy face.

Now, in Hongye Valley Market, in addition to their four major families, there are also many other Foundation Establishment families stationed here.

If he allowed the other party to loot, and they were held accountable afterward, their four major families would have to pay compensation.

Especially since he, Yu Yuanshan, was stationed in Hongye Valley Market, such a thing happening would be an inescapable responsibility, impossible to explain.

“Since we can’t come to an agreement, then let’s have a fight and let me see what you’re capable of.”

The burly man formed hand seals, causing the black gourd to float above his head, and the white bone crossbow turned into a crimson spiritual weapon long saber.

“What’s going on!?”

“Heavens, someone is attacking the market!”

“Not good, it’s a robber cultivator!”

“A robber cultivator has invaded the market!”

As the Tianqing Shuiyun Great Array of the market shook, countless people woke up from their slumber and meditation, looking outside.

Seeing the black smoke billowing in the night sky, as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city, the Tianqing Shuiyun Great Array flickered on and off, constantly ‘rumbling’ and shaking, a sense of panic began to spread from within the market.

There were also many rogue cultivators who saw this situation and couldn’t help but feel greedy, wanting to profit from the chaos.

After all, the world of cultivation was inherently a place where the weak were prey to the strong, with no rules.

The reason why the market adhered to rules was because there were Foundation Establishment great cultivators stationed there, with law enforcement cultivators.

Now that the robber cultivator was attacking the market, the market was in chaos, the rules and order were collapsing, and under the lure of great profit, everyone could transform into a robber cultivator!

“Brothers, what are you waiting for, rob!”

Inside a certain inn, a rogue cultivator saw this situation and shouted loudly, wanting to incite more people to act together.

“Lan’er, stay home and take care of the children, I’ll be back soon.”

“Husband, don’t go, don’t go!”

“Wealth comes from danger, this may be the only opportunity in my life, I don’t want to give up. You stay at home, I’ll be back soon.”

In a small courtyard, a tall man, holding a magic sword, said to his wife.

“This old man has been cowardly his whole life, for the sake of future generations, might as well take a gamble!”

Inside a small, cramped, and simple house, an old man with a wrinkled face and gray hair, looked at the situation in the sky and gritted his teeth.

Then, he took out a somewhat damaged flying sword and walked out of the house.

For rogue cultivators, the chaos in the market was a danger, but also an opportunity.

By working steadily, they wouldn’t earn much spirit stones in their entire lives.

But if they could muddle through and snatch some pills, magic tools, or heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it would save them countless years of effort.

For a time, the entire market was filled with shouts of killing, cries for help, and weeping.

Lu Family Courtyard.

“Robber cultivators are attacking the market?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the situation in the distance through the window.

At the moment when Yu Yuanshan made his move, when the two Foundation Establishment cultivators clashed, he sensed the movement and woke up from his sleep.

At this time, seeing the Hongye Valley Great Array ‘rumbling’,

flickering on and off under the thunderous sounds, emitting a strange and ominous purple light, he could almost confirm in his heart that robber cultivators were attacking the market.

Moreover, they were attacking from both inside and outside the market.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to make such a big commotion.

“The market just happened to have someone breaking through to Foundation Establishment, the great array can’t operate at full power, and then the robber cultivators came… This is obviously a well-prepared attack.”

Lu Changsheng’s face was calm, he muttered in his heart.

He had previously realized that allowing someone to break through to Foundation Establishment in Hongye Valley Market would increase the risk.

But he didn’t expect that this kind of thing would come so quickly, and so fiercely.

“Changsheng.”

At this time, Lu Miaoge also woke up because of the commotion, looked at the situation outside the window, and showed a look of surprise when she saw the abnormality of the Tianqing Shuiyun Great Array.

“It should be robber cultivators attacking the market and looting.”

Lu Changsheng turned his head and said to Lu Miaoge.

“Robber cultivators looting the market!?”

Lu Miaoge was shocked when she heard this.

This kind of thing was not uncommon in the world of cultivation.

There were even robber cultivators who secretly sneaked into some cultivation families and carried out exterminations.

But this kind of thing was, after all, a minority, very rare.

She didn’t expect that Hongye Valley Market would encounter this kind of thing now.

“Our shop may be being looted right now, I’ll go take a look,” Lu Changsheng said to Lu Miaoge.

He could see that the robber cultivators were mainly looting in the commercial district.

They wouldn’t come to this residential area.

After all, the residential area where the Lu Family Courtyard was located was considered a relatively core location in Hongye Valley Market.

The people who could live here were generally of unusual status, position, and strength.

Coming here would be completely thankless, it was better to loot shops, shops were where the money came from quickly.

“I’ll go with you.”

Lu Miaoge said immediately.

“You stay here in the courtyard and watch, I have a lot of talismans on me, I’ll be fine,” Lu Changsheng said to Lu Miaoge.

His going there was not just to look at the shop, but also to see what the situation in the market was.

After all, this Hongye Valley Market was also owned by the four major families, and he also had a shop and cave dwelling.

If things continued like this, the entire market would probably be severely damaged, and it wouldn’t recover for ten or eight years.

“Uncle Yuan Ling is watching over the courtyard. Changsheng, I’ll go with you.”

Lu Miaoge continued to say, a resolute look on her beautiful face.

The current situation was extremely chaotic, she really couldn’t rest assured letting Lu Changsheng go to check the situation alone.

After all, the robber cultivators dared to loot the market, there must be Foundation Establishment cultivators leading them.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for the commotion to be so big.

“Okay, let’s go together then,” Lu Changsheng said with a smile, nodding when he saw his wife’s resolute expression.

Knowing that Lu Miaoge also had a gentle but firm nature, and she had shown such an expression, he couldn’t refuse any longer.

Immediately, the two walked out of the small courtyard.

At this time, the other Lu family members in the entire Lu Family Courtyard also walked out of the courtyard one after another.

“Changsheng, Miaoge.”

“Ninth Elder, Sister Miaoge.”

These people saw Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge and spoke up.

“Second Elder, now that the robber cultivators are looting the market, Miaoge and I are going to the shop to take a look,” Lu Changsheng said, looking at one of them.

This Lu Family Second Elder was no longer the Second Elder of Jiulong Market back then.

He was a newly promoted elder last year, named Lu Yuanling.

He was currently the person in charge of the Lu family in Hongye Valley Market.

“Okay, Changsheng, Miaoge, be careful,” Lu Yuanling said, nodding slightly after thinking for a moment.

He also knew that Lu Changsheng had broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, and Lu Miaoge had the strength of the ninth level of Qi Refining. As talisman masters, they also had talismans on them, so there shouldn’t be any major problems.

“Yuanqing, Miaofeng, Miaoyu, you few come with me…” He looked at the other Lu family disciples, Lu family deacons, and arranged.

Now that the market was in chaos, and the robber cultivators were looting, they not only had to ensure the situation of the shops, but also had to try to stabilize the situation in the market as much as possible.

After all, the Lu family still occupied the majority of this market, and had invested a lot.

If there was a major chaos, it would also severely damage the Lu family’s vitality.

“Yes!” The other few nodded and left the courtyard, rushing towards the commercial district.
