39: It’s very dangerous!

When Wei Zhou walked up to the Cultivator at the front desk, that Cultivator happened to raise his head and look at Wei Zhou!

What greeted Wei Zhou's eyes was a middle-aged face!

He had a refined and gentle demeanor, exuding an air of an immortal!

However, his face held a cold expression, and he radiated an aura that warned others to keep their distance!

Wei Zhou smiled and stepped forward, cupping his fists respectfully.

"Hello, Fellow Daoist!"

The middle-aged Cultivator glanced indifferently at Wei Zhou and softly hummed in response.

"Hmm!"

Seeing that the middle-aged Cultivator did not show him any warmth, Wei Zhou did not try to force a conversation and turned to leave, feeling a bit awkward.

He returned to the Medicinal Pill section he had just visited, silently noting a Spirit Breaking Pill and a Spirit Bursting Pill!

And several other Medicinal Pills useful for the Qi Refinement Stage!

He then returned to the middle-aged Cultivator and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist, I want to purchase 1 Spirit Breaking Pill, 1 Spirit Bursting Pill, and 3 Spirit Nurturing Pills! 10 Grain Abstinence Pills!"

The middle-aged Cultivator replied.

"1 Spirit Breaking Pill is 200 Spirit Stones! 1 Spirit Bursting Pill is 44 Spirit Stones! 3 Spirit Nurturing Pills are 7 Spirit Stones! 10 Grain Abstinence Pills are 5 Spirit Stones!"

"Totaling 257 Spirit Stones!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhou, with great reluctance, took out 257 Spirit Stones from his Storage Pouch and handed them to the middle-aged Cultivator!

The middle-aged Cultivator took the Spirit Stones from Wei Zhou and scanned them with his Divine Sense!

After confirming they were correct, he collected the Spirit Stones!

He called out, summoning a Shop Assistant!

Not long after, the Shop Assistant brought over a tray!

On the tray were four jade bottles!

One of the jade bottles subtly emitted a faint Spiritual Qi fluctuation!

The Shop Assistant handed the four jade bottles to Wei Zhou, who roughly scanned them with his Divine Sense!

He silently put the four jade bottles into his Storage Pouch and symbolically thanked him!

He then turned and headed out of the Danding Pavilion branch!

After exiting the Danding Pavilion branch,

Wei Zhou took Li Yawei and successively visited several shops!

From them, he purchased some daily necessities and a few Breath Concealment Talismans!

He then quietly blended into the crowd and headed out of the market!

The journey was uneventful, and Wei Zhou successfully exited the market with Li Yawei!

After leaving the market,

Wei Zhou did not immediately summon his magical sword!

Instead, he first placed a Breath Concealment Talisman on Li Yawei and then silently began to cast the "Mixed Origin Breath Concealment Art"!

They quietly blended into their surroundings!

The two concealed their figures and rapidly darted into the distance!

After flying rapidly for a distance,

A fierce sound of fighting suddenly came from ahead!

Not long after, the sounds of fighting gradually disappeared!

Only a few unwilling curses and imprecations remained!

Then, several streaks of blood shot out! Several people slowly fell into a pool of blood!

After those people fell into the pool of blood,

One person standing beside the bodies knelt down, wiped his knife on their clothes, then sheathed his knife.

He rummaged through the bodies, and after a while, he cursed.

"Bah! Just a pauper! Only 50 Spirit Stones on his whole body! And a Swiftness Talisman! He's truly a pauper!"

A burly, bearded man standing beside that person said with a smile.

"Old Hu, be content! The one over here doesn't even have 40 Spirit Stones on him!"

"This is the real pauper! With this strength, he still wants to be a rogue Cultivator!"

He couldn't help but sigh at the end!

The leader among the group said.

"You guys hurry up and clean up! Let's change locations and continue fishing!"

The several people responded in unison.

"Okay, Boss!"

One of the burly men, whose face was scarred, said.

"I, Old Qin, don't know how to flatter much! I can only say Boss is truly amazing!"

"First, we capture a few Cultivators as bait! Then we lure those rogue Cultivators over!"

"Then we kill them all, destroy the bodies, and finally, all their treasures fall into our hands!"

"Hehehe!" ~ (¯▽¯~)~

The words spoken by the several people, word for word, fell into Wei Zhou's ears, which were comparable to the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage in keenness!

Wei Zhou observed from afar and was startled to discover that they were indeed several rogue Cultivators!

And their cultivation levels were not low, all at Qi Refinement Stage Seventh Layer!

The leader, in particular, had a cultivation of Qi Refinement Stage Eighth Layer Perfection! Only one step away from entering the Qi Refinement Stage Ninth Layer!

After observing for a while, Wei Zhou found that there was no one else around!

Those rogue Cultivators also slowly departed!

As for why Wei Zhou did not attack and kill those rogue Cultivators to seize their wealth and treasures!

Because it did not align with his philosophy of cautious cultivation!

......

Seeing that the rogue Cultivators had already left, Wei Zhou and Li Yawei slowly revealed themselves!

Wei Zhou let out a long sigh!

He mused in his heart.

"Fortunately, this young master is resourceful!"

"As soon as I left the market, I immediately activated the Breath Concealment Art!"

"Otherwise, I would have ended up like those Cultivators and rogue Cultivators just now, brutally murdered by those rogue Cultivators, and all my wealth plundered!"

"But those rogue Cultivators are truly ruthless! They even rob their own kind!"

"They are truly models of their kind!"

In the end, he couldn't help but praise those rogue Cultivators in his heart!

After this incident,

Wei Zhou did not summon his magical sword but continued to cast the "Mixed Origin Breath Concealment Art"!

Li Yawei had a Breath Concealment Talisman placed on her!

They rapidly fled into the distance!

......

After the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn,

A black-robed Cultivator wearing a snake-face mask arrived at the scene, radiating Spiritual Pressure belonging to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage!

Feeling the lingering aura on the ground, he let out a strange cackle.

"Two little mice! This venerable one will play with you!"

After his strange laughter, the snake-faced Cultivator moved and was about to head towards the direction Wei Zhou had departed!

Suddenly, a strong hand gripped the shoulder of the Cultivator wearing the snake-face mask!

The Cultivator wearing the snake-face mask seemed to sense a familiar aura and turned his head, forcing a stiff smile.

"Sixth Brother!"

At this moment, the Cultivator wearing a pig-face mask was holding the shoulder of the Cultivator wearing the snake-face mask with one hand!

He said with a forced smile.

"You still know I'm your Sixth Brother!"

The Cultivator wearing the snake-face mask chuckled sheepishly.

"Of course, you're my Second Brother!"

The Cultivator wearing the pig-face mask snorted and said.

"Hmph! However, two little mice at the Qi Refining Stage!"

"Just let them go! But I have already cast a spell to remember the aura of those two little mice!"

"In the future, if any of us 12 brothers encounter them! Just kill them off casually!"

"Don't ruin Big Brother's plan!"

"This matter concerns Big Brother's Golden Core plan! There's no room for any carelessness or mistakes!"

Finally, the Cultivator wearing the pig-head mask did not forget to give a few more instructions to the Cultivator wearing the snake-face mask.

Then, the Cultivator wearing the pig-head mask vanished from his spot like a ghost!

The Cultivator wearing the snake-face mask looked at the spot where the Cultivator wearing the pig-face mask had disappeared and couldn't help but sigh.

"......"
