C1040 Leaving the Right and Wrong Place
Wang Zixuan reached out his hand and grabbed the Moon Stone. Then, he leapt towards another target, causing a rain of blood along the way.
Elder Min looked in the direction where Ye Bufan had fled and coldly harrumphed, "The current plan is to strengthen the Wang family. When the Wang family becomes stronger, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find a puny rogue cultivator like you. ”
With a wave of his sleeve, a few cultivators who had rushed over were blown into the lake by a gust of strong wind. Elder Min pointed his finger at a Moon Stone from afar and exerted his True Qi. With a swoosh, the Moon Stone was sucked into his palm.
As all the cultivators in the city had arrived near the Crescent Moon Lake, Ye Bufan didn't encounter any obstacles when he brought the Blue Luan Bird out of the city. He walked out of the city without any guards and headed southeast.
"Blue Luan Bird, tell me the truth. How many Moon Stone did you get tonight?"
Ye Bufan was very curious about this. Although he had been focusing on the Blue Luan Bird, he had never counted how many Moon Stone the little girl had snatched.
"En..." The Blue Luan Bird held its little head and thought for a while before saying, "I don't remember the Blue Luan Bird either. Anyway, it's very full. There are... over a hundred of them?"
"Uh, definitely not just that." Ye Bufan knew the appetite of the Blue Luan Bird. If she were to eat as much as she wanted, that scene was like flowing water in the Yangtze River and sweeping away clouds and clouds. Just the word rice bucket could not describe her ability at all.
Even if the Moon Stone contained a large amount of spiritual energy that could not be compared with ordinary food, the amount was definitely not small. More than 100 pieces might very well be just a fraction!
When he thought about how the Blue Luan Bird had actually eaten so much Moon Stone, Ye Bufan could not help but admire his wise decision. If he had not decided to stop when he saw a good opportunity and immediately leave that place of trouble... Perhaps, the Blue Luan Bird would be besieged by all of them very soon.
At that time, if he was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of cultivators, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal wouldn't be able to escape.
"Big Brother, there are still a few pieces of Moon Stone left in the Blue Luan Bird. I can't eat them anymore. I'll give them all to you." Seemingly feeling a little embarrassed that he could eat so much, the Blue Luan Bird's small face turned slightly red. He handed the last of the Moon Stone to Ye Bufan.
Ye Bufan took it and was dumbfounded when he saw it.
"F * ck, all of them are top grade Moon Stone!"
What the Blue Luan Bird gave him was a piece of Moon Stone that was almost round in shape. It was definitely the best of the top grade.
Ye Bufan almost cried. It wasn't because he got some good stuff, but because the trouble was even greater.
"Alright." Ye Bufan pulled on the Blue Luan Bird, "We will change our route immediately. At the same time, we need to disguise ourselves. You still have to enter the Sun Space. You cannot come out as you wish."
The Blue Luan Bird obediently agreed. She vaguely knew that it might be the Moon Stone who caused the trouble. However, most of the time, after eating so many Moon Stone, the little girl felt sleepy and wanted to sleep. In the Sun Space, it was obviously the best place to sleep. The heat made her feel very comfortable.
Just like that, Ye Bufan had no choice but to change his route once again. It wasn't easy for him to go straight to the Eastern Sea, but because of this matter, he was delayed for a period of time.
After changing the route, the time to arrive at the Eastern Sea would definitely be delayed. This was simply a certainty.
Although Ye Bufan really wanted to get the Soul Refining Hand Seal as soon as possible so that he could deal with the merging of the two worlds. However, the first thing he needed to solve was not to be hunted down. Therefore, he could only push back the time of his trip to the Eastern Sea.
Ye Bufan stood on top of a big tree and looked into the distance. Even if he prepared to change the route, he would not go northwest. One of the reasons was that he came from that direction, and the other was because he wanted to avoid being hunted. His ultimate goal was still to go to the East Sea. He could not choose the route to go further and further away from the East Sea.
In the end, he chose to go south.
The East Sea was in his southeast direction. If he went south, he would be able to avoid the pursuit, but he wouldn't be too far away from the East Sea.
This was already the best direction.
After making his decision, Ye Bufan quickly headed south. In the first town he met, he stole a lot of clothes and necessary cosmetics to disguise himself properly.
When he left the town, he no longer looked like a cultivator, but a travelling warlock.
There was a reason why he dressed like this.
Even though the entire world was a world of cultivators, and every city was under the rule of cultivators, but the number of ordinary people still holds the absolute advantage in the world... There are many places with a large population under the rule of cultivators... But there might not even be a single cultivator.
For the people at the bottom of the society, there was actually no difference between the rule of cultivators and the rule of the dynasty back then.
However, under the rule of cultivators, the amount of food used to pay taxes was less. Precious herbs and rare animals became very good tax substitutes, paying this was much more worthwhile than paying grain.0
Other than that, the living conditions of the people at the bottom level did not change much. Villagers and tyrants were still running amok everywhere, just like Vigilante A in the Pugilistic World. As for the merchant who carried a burden and sold goods everywhere, the travelling physician and the travelling practitioner, it was still a very common profession, and no one really cared about it when they returned. Unless it was a "half-immortal" who had calculated it very accurately.
Ye Bufan didn't dress up like this for the sake of becoming a half-immortal. He didn't know how to read a fortune, and it was just that it wasn't strange for him to use this identity to walk around freely.
Since he had disguised himself as a wandering warlock, Ye Bufan's walking speed could only be lowered to the level of an ordinary person. He walked slowly along the way, which gave him a different feeling.
Along the way, the further south he went, the more humid the weather became along the way, and the human habitation began to become denser.
Although cultivators had great strength, this kind of strength was reflected in their individual combat strength. It did not have much effect on the discovery of productivity in the entire world.
In a situation where no one interfered, climate factors were very important to the growth of crops.
The humid climate in the south was conducive to the rapid growth of crops. Therefore, the further south one went in Upper Level World, the more fields they would find along the way. The fewer forests there were, the more densely populated they would be.
At this point, Ye Bufan realized that there were still many villages like Little Guo Village that didn't have a single cultivator.
When he was in the north, Ye Bufan rarely saw such villages. Almost every village had their own cultivators. At least, cultivators from other places would often pass by. Even cultivators like Little Guo Village would occasionally pass by.
However, in the south, as the number of villages increased, many people in the villages only knew about the legends of cultivators. They had never seen real cultivators before, and this situation was becoming more and more common.
Cultivators also needed to eat. Then under the climate conditions of the south, the resources are abundant, so there should have been more cultivators living there... However, after Ye Bufan's observation, he found that more cultivators in the south would gather in large cities. However, there were very few people wandering outside.
He had never been able to figure out what was going on. If it was in the past, he would definitely find someone to ask, but now, he didn't dare.
The Blue Luan Bird had incurred public wrath in the Moon Lake Grand Ceremony. Even if Ye Bufan disguised himself, he wouldn't dare to do so. After changing his route, he saw several groups of cultivators searching for their whereabouts along the way. Each of them gritted their teeth as they talked about the Blue Luan Bird, as if they couldn't bear to bite her to death. It made Ye Bufan feel terrified when he saw it.
So along the way, not only did he disguise himself as a travelling warlock, but his walking speed had also dropped to the level of a travelling warlock. He didn't dare to let the Blue Luan Bird come out, let alone ask other cultivators questions.
However, it was precisely because of his proud and cautious appearance that no one noticed any flaws along the way. He smoothly walked south for a few hundred miles, and was getting further and further away from Moon Lake City.
Along the way, he passed by many villages and towns. Ye Bufan had already gotten used to staying in every village and town for a while. Occasionally, he would even help the local villagers get some divinations. Of course, he would not get any divinations. However, it wasn't a problem for him to say some ambiguous and shameless words.
One day, he once again came to a small town. Standing outside the town, he found that the size of this town was very large, comparable to some small cities.
Outside the town, there was a vast field. Most of it had been opened up into fields and planted by the Zhuang family. They had already matured and were showing signs of a bountiful harvest.
Walls were erected around the town, and thick wooden stakes were erected. They were tightly tied up in a row, and the top of the stakes had been cut into sharp spikes. It looked very orderly.
Most importantly, this wall was not simply made up of wooden stakes. Ye Bufan could clearly feel the gathering of spiritual energy from the wooden stakes. It was a wall of Dao Spirit Qi!
This discovery surprised him. A town actually used a wall of spiritual energy. This was something that could only be found in large cities.
Who could have guessed that such a seemingly ordinary and peaceful town would have such an outstanding defensive ability?
The principle behind a Spirit Qi Wall was very simple. It used a formation to attract the Spirit Qi between heaven and earth, attaching it to the wall and greatly increasing the defensive power of the wall.
Every cultivator who could arrange such a formation was called "Formation Grandmaster." Countless city rulers would pay a huge price to rope them in. Each time they made a move, they would also receive more appearance fees and labor fees. As for the materials used, they would also be paid by the demand.
Simply put, with the craftsmanship of creating a Spirit Qi Wall, no matter where in the world it was, there was no need to worry about being roped in by someone with a lot of money. There was no need to worry about cultivation resources at all, and one could even live a stable and luxurious life.
Cultivators like him would usually stay in big cities and rarely make a move. Every time he made a move, he would need to pay an expensive appearance fee. It was absolutely not something a town could afford to hire.
And this small town in front of him actually had the Spirit Qi Wall that many cities dreamt of. It was very normal for Ye Bufan to be surprised.
"Could it be that this is a mysterious town with crouching tigers and hidden dragons?" Ye Bufan was somewhat looking forward to it. He especially liked to discover such interesting things.
