Chapter 55 Lurking “There are still quite a few people who survived, and I don’t know where they are hiding. The mortals in this world of immortal cultivation are really surviving in the cracks. It’s really tragic, and this is still the case with the protection of the sect. If I hadn’t been picked up by my master, I probably wouldn’t know whether I was dead or alive right now.” Standing on the spirit boat, Lu Xuan looked at the crowd below. All I saw was a gathering of men, women, old and young in the ruins, all of them covered in dust and unkempt hair. This reminded him of his fearful life in his early years, and he sighed with emotion. As the spirit boat landed, Lu Xuan walked down from the boat, and the surviving villagers immediately gathered around him. "Master Immortal, I have finally got you here!" "With you here, our Blackwater Town is saved!" "Has the snake demon been killed by you, the Immortal?"
In an instant, Lu Xuan was overwhelmed by the chaotic discussions, and he didn't know which question to answer for a moment. I just feel a headache. So he could only try to comfort them, stretching out his hands and shouting to everyone at the top of his voice. "Dear fellow villagers, don't be afraid! My sister and I came from Daoyan Sect just to destroy this snake demon that is causing trouble in this area. Let everyone return to their peaceful life again!" "Goddess, is the snake demon dead?" "Why can't I see your senior sister? Did she go to hunt down the snake demon?" "Will it be possible that we cannot kill this monster and it will come back again?" However, his comfort seemed to have no effect, and the crowd still drowned him with saliva. "Ahem! Be quiet, let the Immortal take a breath. You all keep asking random questions, and I want the Immortal to answer which one?" At this moment, an old voice came from the crowd, shaking out the noisy questions. Then the villagers who surrounded Lu Xuan automatically moved to the sides, clearing a path. ".You are the mayor, right?" Lu Xuan looked at the old man in front of him with white hair but a rosy face, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Through the detection of his breath, it was found that this old man was actually a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi training and was almost at the stage of building a foundation! No wonder his mental outlook is different from others. He looked vigorous and strong, with an upright figure, which was totally different from what one should look like at his age. In a small town like this with few resources, it stands to reason that being able to reach the ninth level of Qi training is considered a good talent and should have been absorbed long ago. Moreover, for this old man, even if he just became an outer disciple of the sect, it would be more promising and safer than being a mayor here.
Could it be that the mayor had some good fortune in his later years? Did he find some rare treasures, or some storage tools left by a deceased monk? "I have waited so long for you to finally come. If you were any later, I am afraid the entire Blackwater Town would have been completely destroyed. I am here to thank the Immortal on behalf of the people of this town!" Suddenly, the mayor raised his hands and bowed deeply to Lu Xuan, pulling him back from his wandering thoughts. "Mayor, please don't be so polite. My sister and I are here to exorcise the monsters as part of our duty. Blackwater Town is under the protection of Daoyan Sect. Unfortunately, we encountered monsters rampant, so it is only right for us to come and help." Lu Xuan hurriedly helped him up. He couldn't bear it. He felt a little awkward to be bowed by the mayor of his grandfather's generation. In fact, immortal cultivators have an extraordinary status among mortals, and it can basically be said that they can get whatever they want. As long as he releases a little bit of spiritual pressure, ordinary people will be powerless to resist and will be filled with fear. He doesn't need to be so humble. But after Lu Xuan traveled through time, he was basically isolated from the outside world and was unable to experience the oppression that this kind of personal power brought to other people. He has also been accepting Fan Qianyue's careful teachings, and coupled with the socialist core values he accepted in his previous life, his mind has not been distorted. "You are too polite, Immortal. I would like to ask what realm your sister and you are in? This time the monster is really powerful, I am afraid that the two immortals might..." Seeing that Lu Xuan was easy to talk to, the mayor became bolder and asked more crucial questions. “Mayor, don’t worry, my senior sister is a swordsman at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and she almost killed the snake demon with just two strikes. Let it flee in a hurry. As for me, a middle-stage Jindan, although I cannot defeat the monster, I can still do logistics." Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan did not show any wariness and directly told the mayor in front of him. The main thing is that he has nothing to defend against, a group of mortals with no cultivation and a mayor who hasn't even reached the foundation building stage, even if they really have some bad intentions against him. It's just a joke. "One Nascent Soul and one Golden Core. It seems that the sect really takes it seriously. The information I reported is indeed useful." Upon hearing this, the mayor's eyes sparkled. As expected, even the big sects were very concerned about the appearance of the spiritual mine. "What message? Mayor, didn't you just send a message asking for help? Did you send something else?" Hearing this, Lu Xuan was a little confused, because the mission report he received didn't say anything else. It was just a few simple sentences, explaining the location of the town and mentioning the reward for the task, and that was it. "You don't know, Immortal?" The old man was very surprised, but soon his expression returned to calm, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and his brows were furrowed. "What exactly happened? The sect didn't say anything. Mayor, can you tell me directly?" Lu Xuan was also a little confused. It seemed that the sect was hiding something about this mission. Could it be that it was not as simple as it seemed? ". Let's wait until the other immortal comes. It's useless to tell you now." The mayor was silent for a while and chose to wait for Ling Xiao to come over to discuss the matter. In his opinion, strength is respected in the world of immortal cultivation. Of these two people, the one who can make up his mind is definitely the swordsman at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. He will then explain the matter of the spiritual mine to her.
Maybe there is still room for maneuver. The future of the entire town depends on this mineral vein if the sect takes it over. At that time, the townspeople could only work there to mine for the monks and live in fear. I have to try to make use of this mineral vein and find a way to cultivate more immortal cultivators for the town. While the old man was thinking, a girl with black hair and black eyes was hiding in the crowd, waiting for an opportunity to make a move. Those eyes stared at Lu Xuan, with murderous intent hidden deep in their eyes. The two people on the spirit boat just now almost hacked it to death, if it weren't for my quick reaction and cancellation of my innate magical power. The head has fallen off by now. "Tsk, if I didn't have to complete the master's mission, I would have killed this man to vent my anger and then escaped." (End of this chapter)
