Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Chapter 44 Attack of Sand Bandits (Part 1)

Baisha River Oasis is thousands of miles away in the sand sea.

Not long after the ancestor of the Chen family flew over the Baisha River oasis in a huge building boat, a red flame traveled thousands of miles and flew from the Baisha River oasis to the hands of a black-robed monk who was waiting here.

"Chen Yaohui has taken someone away, come quickly!"

Hearing the voice before the fire in his hand dissipated, the black-robed monk was overjoyed and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, the old thief Chen Yaohui has finally left. If that's the case, it's time for us to act."

Before the laughter fell, a yellow light flashed on the body of the black-robed monk, and he directly used the "earth escape technique" to escape into the ground.

Half a day later, the black-robed cultivator who escaped into the ground reappeared on the ground, but this time he was not the only one, but hundreds of black-robed immortal cultivators dressed in black robes like him.

These hundreds of immortal cultivators in black robes were all dressed up in black robes with masks, and each of them only showed a pair of eyes, and each of them had the greedy light of a wolf in their eyes.

Bandits!

These black-robed immortal cultivators are all Sand Bandits!

It is very common for sand bandits to rob oases. Not every oasis in the boundless sand sea has foundation-building stage cultivators sitting in it. Many small oases without third-order spiritual veins are small families in the Qi training stage or some powerful people. The qi training period is occupied by casual practice.

After these small families or casual cultivators occupy the oasis, they will also cultivate spiritual veins and raise mortals, and select mortals with spiritual roots to teach them as disciples. Most of the sources of casual cultivators come from these small oases .

And since these small oases are not guarded by monks in the foundation building period, they will naturally become easy targets for looting by bandits. Basically, as long as their locations are exposed, they will not escape looting by bandits.

However, sand bandits dared to loot a small oasis without foundation-building monks, or even a medium-sized oasis like Yuquan Lake oasis with foundation-building monks, but in any case, they should not dare or have the ability to loot a large oasis like Baishahe Oasis.

But now, after the hundreds of black-robed sand bandits appeared, they went straight to the Baisha River oasis thousands of miles away.

It can be seen from this that these sand bandits are either suffering from insanity, all of them are crazy, or they have something to rely on, thinking that the absence of the Baisha River oasis, the ancestor of the Chen family, a monk in the Zifu period, can't stop them looting.

And judging from the fact that there were dozens of sword lights flying in the sky when these sand bandits were marching, it was obvious that they were of the latter type.

...

...

On the other side, Zhou Yang and Zhou Xuanyu returned to the "Yuquan Tower" after seeing off the old patriarch and others.

Zhou Yang continued to read and ponder the foundation-building experience recorded by his predecessors, while Zhou Xuanyu, as usual, closed the door and drew talismans in the quiet room in the backyard.

Speaking of which, the reason why the Zhou family let her, an elder who has not been out of the family for many years, take over the "Yuquan Tower" is also because the magic weapon business in Fangshi has been temporarily run out of profits after Zhou Yangyi started it.

Previously, "Yuquan Building" had been mainly engaged in the magic weapon business because Zhou's family had Zhou Minghan, a top-rank alchemist of the third rank. It was not until Zhou Xuanhao, a top-rank alchemist of the second rank, entered that the pill And the magic weapon became the main business at the same time.

But when Zhou Yang took over, "Yuquan Building" became the main magic weapon again, and all of a sudden the magic weapon business in the entire square city was depressed.

In view of this, after struggling and hesitating, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan sent Zhou Xuanyu, his granddaughter, to Fangshi to sit in town, hoping to change the main business of "Yuquanlou" by virtue of her superb talisman-making skills.

The current source of income for the Zhou family is relatively single, and there are only two sources. One is to rely on the sale of Qingpingshan fine iron veins and [golden pearl rice] grown in the Lingtian on Yuquan Peak. The other is the "Yuquan Building", The income of the two shops of "Zuixianlou".

The first of these two sources of income is stable and long-term, but the disadvantages are also obvious. The annual income is relatively fixed and will not skyrocket or fall.

For the second one, when encountering the opportunities brought by Zhou Yang's big craft refining this time, the income earned in one year will be equal to the total income of the family in the past few years.

In particular, the reputation of "Yuquan Building" has been established now. When many immortal cultivators come to Fangshi to buy spiritual objects, they will come here for a visit. These are high-quality customers.

It doesn't matter if the cultivators of the Zhou family refine magic tools, pills, talismans, or even formations, as long as the quality of the items is not bad and the price is affordable, they can be sold quickly in the "Jade Spring Building".

After these things are sold, not only the monks of the Zhou family who consigned the things will earn from the spirit stones, but the family can also get a lot of money from it, which greatly eases the family's difficult financial situation.

As for reputation, if you don't pay attention to management, it will always come and go quickly.

Once those monks who come here to shop at the "Jade Spring Tower" find that there is nothing attractive here except for magic tools, they will most likely not come to patronize next time.

Therefore, even though the old patriarch Zhou Minghan was quite reluctant to let Zhou Xuanyu, the granddaughter, stay away from the family and himself, for the sake of the family's development, he had to let her come to Fangshi to sit in charge.

Just when Zhou Xuanyu finished drawing more than half of a second-order middle-grade spirit talisman and was about to finish it, a deafening bell rang suddenly in the square market. The bell rang nine times in a row. effect.

Boom!

Zhou Xuanyu's jade hand holding the talisman brush trembled slightly, and the talisman that was about to be completed instantly exploded into a ball of flames and turned into ashes because of the turmoil of the talisman maker's mind.

But Zhou Xuanyu couldn't care less about this at this time. After hearing the ringing of the bell, she stared blankly at the direction where the ringing sound came from, the top of Jinxia Mountain.

"[Shocking God Bell] chimes nine times, this is a warning that Fangshi will only issue when it encounters enemies from the Zifu period and fourth-order monsters!"

"Why? Why is it such a coincidence? Why did Old Ancestor Chen and Grandpa leave such a powerful enemy not long after they left?"

"No, no, this is a conspiracy! This must be a long-planned conspiracy! Dangerous, Fangshi is dangerous!"

Zhou Xuanyu's pretty face suddenly changed color, and quickly put away the talisman brush and rushed out of the quiet room to the "Yuquan Tower".

As soon as she arrived downstairs, she saw that Zhou Yang and others in the building had all walked out of the attic and were looking up at the top of the mountain.

At this time, above the top of Jinxia Mountain, the three foundation-building monks who had been stationed by the Chen family all year round in Fangshi had all walked out of the cave, hovering in the sky with their sword lights and looking at the countless monks in Fangshi below.

"Dear friends, just now I received a warning message from the monks of the family in front. A large number of sand bandits are killing Fangshi. Not only are there more than a dozen monks of the foundation period among them, there may also be monks of the Zifu period hidden!"

"Due to the strength of the enemy coming this time, I can't guarantee that I can protect all the monks in Fangshi. So if fellow Taoists want to leave Fangshi to make a living by themselves, I will give you a quarter of an hour."

"After a quarter of an hour, all the monks who do not want to leave Fangshi must follow my instructions. The old man declares first that if someone refuses to leave and is passive and sabotages the old man's order, be careful that the flying sword in the old man's hand will take his head!"

"Okay, time is running out, now fellow daoists can make a choice!"

The cold voice came from the mouths of the three foundation-building stage monks, and under the spread of the power of the spell, it spread throughout the entire city in an instant, causing an uproar like a boulder smashing into the water.

Although most of the monks who understood the meaning of the bell had some preparations when they heard the nine consecutive ringings of the [Shocking God Bell], but after hearing the actual situation from the monks in the Foundation Establishment period of the Chen family, all the monks were still shocked. Feel incredible, full of shock.

"Did I hear you right? That senior said it was the Sand Bandits attacking? When did the Sand Bandits have the guts to attack Xiuxianfang City, which is guarded by several Foundation Establishment monks and Tier 4 formations!"

"Sand bandit! It turned out to be a sand bandit! This is terrible! Sand bandits are evil ghosts who cannibalize people and don't spit out their bones. They have no trace of humanity. If the city is breached by them, even if we hand over the storage bag, they will kill us !"

"Conspiracy, this is a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time! To unite more than a dozen sand bandits in the foundation period, even ordinary monks in the purple mansion period can't do it. The city is in danger, so let's run away. The targets of bandits are only the monks of the major families in the city, as long as we casual cultivators don’t provoke them, they may not be willing to make more troubles!”

Whoosh!

The flying sword pierced through the air and instantly beheaded the monk who shouted "conspiracy" to the ground.

"Jumping beam clown, if you are so eager to seek death, this old man will satisfy you!"

A sneer full of disdain sounded from the sky, and the face of the Chen Family Establishment Cultivator who let out the flying sword to kill people sank, his gaze coldly glanced down at the low-level casual cultivators who were trembling with fear from this scene and shouted: "Old man I know that there must be spies who have sneaked in among you, so if you want to get the bounty alive, you'd better shut up and get out of the market now, otherwise if the old man finds out that you have shown a little bit of cheating, look at the old man Does the flying sword in your hand recognize you?"

"Anyone who dares to confuse the public with gossip will be dealt with as a spies!"

As soon as the voice fell this time, the remaining monks in the square city looked at me and I looked at you, no one dared to talk about anything, they all thought about the way out with twinkling eyes.

Whether the monk who was killed just now was really a spy sent by the sand bandits outside, or innocent, it didn't matter to the other monks who were not related to him.

The important thing is that although he is dead, what he said is not unreasonable. The sand bandits attacked Fangshi, of course, for money, and many casual cultivators feel that their wealth is poor, and they get along with those wealthy family monks in Fangshi. Rather, it shouldn't be easy to attract the attention of bandits.

Therefore, after the monks of the Chen family's foundation-building period finished speaking, soon a bold monk cupped his hands at the three foundation-building monks in the sky and said, "Forgive me, seniors, it's not easy for me to practice hard, and I don't want to lose my life here. Please forgive the junior for being rude!"

This time, the foundation-building cultivator of the Chen family who was killing people with a sword didn't move at all, only another gray-haired old cultivator nodded to the speaking cultivator with a wry smile on his face and replied: "Young fellow Daoist, go if you want, say I am the Chen family who came here, I am sorry everyone, if Fangshi can be kept this time, I will ask the family to reduce the detention fee in Fangshi by half in the next ten years, thank you for your support!"

When the speaking monk heard this, his face became happy, and he quickly shouted: "The old man is so righteous, and this junior admires him. If he can escape this time, he will definitely spread the words of the old man and the Chen family to all the fellow cultivators. Prestige!"

After speaking, he directly took a picture of "Shenxing Talisman" for himself and ran out of Fangshi, but the three Chen Family Foundation Establishment monks in the sky did not make any movements.

Seeing this, other monks who wanted to leave also imitated this person and bowed to the three Foundation Establishment monks in the sky, saying a few good words, and then they all walked out of the square city in peace.

In less than a quarter of an hour, less than half of the people in Fangshi, which originally gathered seven or eight hundred people, remained in place.

Outside the "Yuquan Tower", Zhou Yang, Zhou Xuanyu and other Zhou family monks saw this scene, and their expressions couldn't help changing, and the expressions in their eyes were indescribably complicated.
