Entrance to the canyon.

Fu Qing of the Black Tiger Gang was wielding a tortoise-shell shield and a tiger-head knife, two magical weapons for attack and defense, and was entangled with Wan Fenglin, who had taken out a magical weapon that looked like a pill cauldron.

The two were both cultivators, Fu Qing was at a higher level, but Wan Fenglin was an alchemist after all, with a wealthy fortune. In addition to the previous ‘Dan Lei’, he actually took out a stack of first-grade top-quality talismans. Countless talismans flashed with light, turning into wind blades, golden arrows, boulders and other attacks, and actually restrained Fu Qing firmly, and he seemed to be at ease.

“Third brother, I am going to clean up the mess today.”

Chen Yi looked at the battlefield, then saw Chen Hongtian’s extremely gloomy face, and a green wind blade appeared in his hand.

“Brother, we are brothers for life, are you really going to do this?”

Chen Hongtian roared angrily and hurriedly injected his innate true energy into a defensive talisman. The two of them also fought each other.

Generally speaking, innate masters are at most equivalent to cultivators in the early stages of Qi training. Only the best innate peak warriors among them can barely be compared with cultivators in the middle stages of Qi training.

Therefore, Chen Hongtian knew that he was no match for his elder brother, and all he had to do now was to delay.

Hua Feiyue, Meng Yi and Shen Yuxin, who were lying on the ground, were circulating their innate true Qi to expel the poison while looking at the battlefield with a look of confusion on their faces.

Why… did things suddenly become like this?

How did the situation develop?
The third brother betrayed, and the eldest brother even kept them in the dark…

Meng Yi felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, but Hua Feiyue frowned, thinking about whether he could survive.

No one noticed that a falcon had appeared in the sky above the canyon after the mist had cleared!
It circled twice, then suddenly swooped down like a pitch-black arrow.

Whoosh!
The next moment, the falcon rushed to the lake, stretched out its sharp claws, and grabbed a plant of ‘Illusion Orchid’!
“What a beast!”

When Master Wan Dan saw this scene, his eyes were bloodshot.

However, Fu Qing was right opposite him, and he couldn’t spare his hand. Moreover, the falcon was flying too fast and too far away… Several cultivators could only watch it leave.

Boom!

The next moment, although several immortal cultivators were still hostile, they all moved into the valley at the same time.

If the spoils they had worked so hard to obtain were taken away by irrelevant beasts, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood!

…

Qinglinfang Market.

Fang Xing pretended to be carrying a basket on his back, dressed like a herbalist going out to collect herbs.

As a resident of the market, there is the pressure of rent every month. Many innate warriors find it difficult to survive in the market. They can only sign a contract to sell themselves and go to the nearby spiritual fields to be tenant farmers! Those
who can stay either have a skill or want to fight for their lives!

You often have to go out to pick herbs and hunt monsters!

“Living in a market town has many benefits, not only in terms of safety and order, but also in terms of the concentration of spiritual energy… Being nourished by spiritual energy, not only can one’s internal abilities progress rapidly, but one can also prolong one’s lifespan…”

Fang Xing’s spirit stones were certainly enough to pay the rent, but if it stayed like this all the time, it would still be quite eye-catching.

Besides, Huan Xinlan will be here soon.

So he decided to go out and visit the makeshift camp.

Many magical herbs picked by drones in recent times are also stored in the temporary camp, so they can be taken here together.

When he arrived at the entrance of the market town, he saw many warriors.

Most of them were like him, dressed as if they were about to go into the mountains, and some even looked as if they were facing life and death.

After all, the beast tide is rampant now. If you go deep into the wilderness, you are simply playing with your life!
“Alas… Song Lao Si is also in trouble…”

Seeing several warriors carrying a corpse back, everyone around them felt sad.

At this time, a warrior saw Fang Xing and came over immediately: “This little brother is also a herbalist. Do you know that the outside world is more dangerous now? A large number of monsters have noticed that there are densely populated areas here, and they have migrated to the Qinglin Mountains. They simply treat this place as a hunting ground…”

“Alas, there is nothing I can do…”

Fang Xing sighed: “The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish!”

“Yes, that makes sense!” The warrior’s eyes lit up: “How about we work together?”

“No need.”

Fang Xing waved his hands, with an expression that said “keep away from strangers” on his face, and used his skills to quickly enter the dense forest.

With the help of drones for high-altitude reconnaissance, the possibility of him encountering danger is low, but it is also possible!

Therefore, he had no choice but to be careful.

Of course, Fang Xing didn’t need to run directly to the temporary camp.

He only needs to walk out of Qinglin Market, avoid other people’s eyes, and then he can collect the gifts from nature brought by the drone.

Strictly speaking, the danger is not great.

After only wandering around for half an hour, he returned with a basket full of herbs.

Of course, for the purpose of camouflage, it was covered with a layer of debris, and due to the lesson learned from the old man with the pipe at the beginning, the smell of medicinal materials was also specially dealt with.

When Fang Xing walked into the market with the basket on his back, he saw that the warrior who had spoken to him before had turned into a corpse, and was even half mutilated.

“This… this is…”

“Alas, this team had bad luck. They ran into a ‘Fire Jackal’ not long after they went out…”

Listening to the discussions of the nearby warriors and looking at the charred marks on the man’s mutilated wound, Fang Xing shook his head.

“Eh? Didn’t this brother just go out?”

A warrior saw Fang Xing and glanced casually at his basket. He saw the plant roots disguised on it and couldn’t help but sneered: “So brother, you are not out collecting herbs, but digging up sweet potato roots to fill your stomach?”

“Alas, in this world, even ordinary rice is almost unaffordable, let alone spiritual rice.”

Fang Xing sighed and walked away amid everyone’s disdainful gazes.

…

Room 57, Building D.

Fang Xing took a glance and found that the door of the next room was still closed.

Only when a sound was heard would an eye carefully look through the crack in the door, like a pitiful little animal.

“Alas, what a poor little fellow…”

Fang Xing ignored Meng Zijin, closed the door and went to the basement.

Throwing aside the sweet potato rhizomes on the top layer of the basket, you will see that it is full of medicinal herbs.

Every plant that was lost would make the innate warriors jealous!
Especially the ‘Illusionary Heart Orchid’!
This orchid was as beautiful as a dream, with a layer of luster on its stems, leaves and petals.

With just a light sniff, Fang Xing actually felt himself getting tipsy and dazed, as if he was drunk.

“It’s really a good thing. As long as I take it to Qingdanfang and ask it to be refined, it will be no problem to obtain the ‘Ningshen Pill’…”

“But I stole this spiritual medicine, and there are Wandan Master and the Black Tiger Gang watching behind me. Will Qingdanfang keep it a secret for me?”

Although Qingdanfang has a good reputation, Fang Xing is still a little hesitant.

Only then did he open the monitoring log to check the follow-up of the Cangshan Five Heroes, Master Wan Dan, and Fu Qing…

“Huh?”

In the scene, Meng Yi was pierced through the chest by a tiger-head knife, but he pushed his wife Shen Yuxin beside him hard.

In Shen Yuxin’s hand, there was a ‘Huan Xin Lan’!
“Huh? This is… a mess.”

After seeing Fang Xing to the end, he could barely sort out what happened.

Chen Yi had a backup plan and was not poisoned. After Hua Feiyue and the other two were detoxified, they quickly joined the battle.

Wan Fenglin was only an alchemist after all, and his fighting power was insufficient. Chen Hongtian was only an innate, and was besieged by the remaining four righteous men and died on the spot!
Seeing that things were not going well, Wan Fenglin cast a life-saving talisman and escaped successfully!

It seems that the winners are Fu Qing of the Black Tiger Gang and the Four Heroes of Cangshan. However, when the spoils were being divided up, Chen Yi took the initiative and launched a surprise attack on Fu Qing!

Hua Feiyue and the other two had no choice but to help in the battle. Then Meng Yi was stabbed through the heart, and died beyond all possibility of death.

Before he died, he created an opportunity for Shen Yuxin to leave with the spoils.

Fu Qing was first consumed by Wan Fenglin, then ambushed by Chen Yi, and besieged by several innate warriors. He did not dare to fight and directly took the bulk of the spoils and left.

An operation to collect herbs finally came to an end, but two innates died!

The remaining few were also injured. How miserable was it?
“The treasure hunt and exploration in the world of immortal cultivation is really dangerous. Don’t participate in such inexplicable activities in the future…”

Fang Xing warned himself silently, and then started steaming rice, cooking, and grilling meat…

With the excellent spiritual environment of the market town and the supply of spiritual rice and monster meat, he insisted on practicing martial arts every day.

Moreover, the continuous increase of various data in the attribute column gave him the pleasure of killing monsters and leveling up in the game of his previous life.

I just can’t stop!
…

night.

Fang Xing was just about to go to bed when he suddenly heard a heart-wrenching cry next to him: “Daddy… woooo… I want daddy…”

“Is it Meng Zijin? Are they back? They are so slow…”

He lay on the bed and turned over: “Well, my request is too high. After all, they can’t fly back directly. They have to avoid many dangerous places on the way…”

Although I knew what had happened, it would undoubtedly seem strange to visit at this time.

Therefore, Fang Xing stretched, waited for three seconds, and let a ball of silver light wrap himself up.

He chose to go back to Eagle Star to sleep!

I have to say that the public security in the Blue Star Federation is still good. Except for the believers of the evil god, it is usually very safe.

Living in such an environment, even sleeping is more sound than in Qinglinfang City.

If he hadn’t been attracted by the spiritual environment of the market town, he would probably have continued to rest here.

…

The next day.

Qinglinfang Market.

When Fang Xing walked out of the house, he saw a long white flag erected outside the shed next to him.

This is a local funeral custom. A white banner is erected at the door of the house to represent the death of a loved one.

When he walked over, he saw that the center of the shed had been converted into a mourning hall, with a memorial tablet and clothing placed on it.

Obviously, Meng Yi’s body was not recovered.

After all, Shen Yuxin escaped in a hurry and couldn’t expect much from others.

“Ah? What… happened?”

Fang Xing was immediately shocked when he saw this scene!
“My boss was out picking medicinal herbs and unfortunately died…”

Shen Yuxin’s eyes were slightly red, and she was wearing mourning clothes. She replied calmly: “This is fate… I don’t want to stay in this sad place, and I’m ready to take Zijin away.”
