235: Shameless
This scene was seen by Chen Tianming and the others.
Chen Tianming frowned slightly.
The bricks and tiles on it looked very sturdy, so how did they just happen to fall at this moment?
Looking at the man's figure again, he didn't seem like an ordinary person.
“Could it be a Cultivator?”
But he didn't find any halo on the other party.
It seemed this person didn't have a system, just a basic Cultivator.
“If someone cultivates, they must have a sect. It seems we've come to the right place.”
Chen Tianming muttered to himself.
Wan Yue was especially vigilant.
“Do we need to follow and see? Or…”
“No need. Right now, the three of us moving together would be too big a target. Besides, we haven't understood the environment here yet. Acting rashly would be disadvantageous to us.”
“What should we do now?”
“Don't think too much. Just pretend we're here to shop. Let's wander around this area first and then make further considerations after we understand the terrain here.”
The two behind him said no more and immediately followed Chen Tianming forward.
But with something on their minds, even shopping felt unsettling.
Soon after, they returned to rest.
Inside the cave on the back mountain.
The man was regulating his breathing, letting spiritual energy flow throughout his body.
The feeling of this power continuously surging up was intoxicating, almost making one immerse themselves in it, unable to extricate themselves.
It wasn't until a sound came from afar that he stopped his movements.
When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was sharp.
Relying on his powerful internal energy, the man actually made the nearby pebbles float in the air.
Then he stared at the entrance.
If someone forced their way in, in just one second, these pebbles would attack immediately as if they had grown eyes.
“Senior Brother, I've come to see you.”
Hearing the familiar voice, the man's hanging heart finally settled.
“Hongyi, why are you here?”
“Isn't it because Master asked me to bring you some things? Now that spiritual energy has recovered, even the market at the foot of the mountain has usable materials.”
The man said, then placed the contents of the basket on the ground.
His half-tied long hair hung slightly, and he truly looked somewhat like an immortal.
Lei Li sneered.
“Master really considers me.”
He casually picked up something from the side. “Now that I'm in seclusion for cultivation, Master is really serious about my matters.”
As he spoke, Lei Li felt a burst of curiosity. “How is the situation at the foot of the mountain recently? Is it peaceful?”
“It's alright, but a video of Junior Brother Tengfei was filmed a few days ago, and now rumors are rampant outside, attracting many tourists.”
Hearing this, Lei Li's expression turned much colder.
“I've long told you to act low-key, but some people just don't listen. Now what? With spiritual energy surging everywhere, Southern Xinjiang itself is a sacred place for cultivation, and it will definitely attract more people.”
Currently, only by holding power in one's own hands can one decide everything.
“There's one more thing. Master hopes you temporarily end your cultivation and go outside to take a look. Firstly, to gather information about the outside world, and secondly, for your own consideration.”
“Got it.”
Lei Li immediately nodded and agreed.
“I'll go down the mountain tomorrow, but before that, I need to rest well. You go down first, just leave the things here for me.”
Seeing his Senior Brother so determined, the man said no more and immediately turned and left.
“Those who are thinking of coming to Southern Xinjiang to cultivate now probably don't have much real ability. No matter how they mess around, they can't compare to our generations of cultivation.”
Lei Li had some confidence in his own abilities.
He simply didn't take the matter to heart and focused on continuing his cultivation.
The next day, at dawn.
Warm sunlight streamed into the room.
Standing by the window, Chen Tianming looked at the crowds on the street.
Yesterday's outing wasn't without any Gains.
At least it further confirmed the existence of Cultivators.
However, none of the three of them truly understood matters related to sects.
It seemed they should start investigating from scratch.
“Where are we going today?”
Wan Yue had already woken up.
She proactively came before Chen Tianming.
“I don't know, but I feel we'll make a discovery soon.”
Chen Tianming's gaze was sharp.
Soon, the three of them set off together.
As they passed the front desk, the receptionists' gazes at them were still subtle.
However, Chen Tianming was already used to it.
He just considered them envious of his abilities.
The sunlight and weather here were much better than in the big city.
Just walking here would make one feel good.
“It feels more comfortable here than on the mountain.”
Ding Xiaoyu couldn't help but exclaim.
The market was also bustling with activity at this moment.
“Search around with spiritual energy. Maybe we'll really find something new nearby.”
Chen Tianming reminded the two.
The two immediately nodded.
“Husband, it seems someone is using spiritual energy over there!”
Ding Xiaoyu quickly made a discovery.
A joyful light also flashed in her eyes.
“But it's so strange, what exactly is he doing? Why can't I figure it out?”
Chen Tianming didn't hesitate and immediately followed the direction Ding Xiaoyu pointed, moving quickly.
“Wait for me!”
In a relatively narrow alley.
A person dressed like a merchant was already floating in the air.
At this moment, he had his eyes closed, seemingly having fainted.
And in front of him was Lei Li, dressed simply.
At this moment, a light shot out from his palm, extending around the person in front of him.
“Here.”
Relying on her perception, Ding Xiaoyu quickly led the two into the alley.
And when the three saw the scene before them, they were stunned.
“What kind of cultivation method is this?”
Chen Tianming had never seen it before.
“This is Soul-Sucking Art. It can grasp all of a person's previous memories through their soul.”
Wan Yue immediately recognized it, and her expression became solemn.
“Cultivators would never harm ordinary people. What's wrong with this person?”
At this moment, Lei Li also sensed the presence of others.
With a slight distraction, the light beam in his hand immediately disappeared.
The merchant immediately fell to the ground, letting out a cold snort, but he remained in a comastate, unable to wake up.
“To actually attack an ordinary person, how shameless.”
Ding Xiaoyu frowned tightly.
“Who are you people? Don't meddle here!”
Lei Li's face was ashen.
He had spent years cultivating in the mountains and rarely came down. Today, he merely wanted to catch a few ordinary people to understand the world through Soul-Sucking Art.
But he never expected to meet other Cultivators here.
And to be interrupted by them.
The moment his eyes met Lei Li's, Chen Tianming was stunned.
The other party was actually a Chosen One!
He never expected himself to be so good at finding treasures.
