In the cool breeze and warm sun, a female cultivator with a beautiful figure and delicate face was flying comfortably between heaven and earth with a sword. Her sleeves and skirt were flying in the wind. She seemed to be interpreting the freedom of immortal cultivators to ordinary people.
At a certain moment, he seemed to feel something. He focused his eyes slightly and looked in a certain direction. Soon after, he saw a suspected male monk passing by not far away.
That would be enough, but the male cultivator looked at the female cultivator up and down twice with unscrupulous eyes as he moved forward before continuing to leave. This made the female cultivator frown slightly, and the next moment she went straight to where the other cultivator was. go in the direction.
As Li Qiao travels farther and farther into the world of immortality, he can only fumble forward in response to the surrounding situation. Just to find a way back to his clan, he records his route in a way that he can understand. .
At this moment, he saw a female Qi practitioner flying in the sky with a sword, and she was wearing a monk's uniform made of materials commonly used by family monks. He knew that he had entered the sphere of influence of a certain cultivating family. .
Since the foundation establishment, I have not communicated with a female cultivator. At this moment, when I suddenly see a female cultivator with a decent appearance, I will inevitably think of the scene of communicating with a female cultivator, and then I will inevitably look up and down, in my heart Made some comparisons.
It's not that the female cultivator in front of her is so charming, it's just that the killings and crises along the way made her tense mind relax a little in the face of this scene, which evoked some longing and memories.
But he only took a second look and continued on. He was just passing by. After all, this was the territory of other cultivating families. It was better not to cause trouble.
When he realized that the opponent chose to pursue him, Li Qiao did not speed up and maintained a flying speed with his sword that was considered slow even among monks in the Qi training period.
After the other party approached a certain distance, Li Qiao suddenly expanded the range of his consciousness and met the other party's consciousness in mid-air.
The female cultivator had been running the Breath Condensation Technique, but she never realized that this was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. At this moment, when her consciousness met, the slight anger on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by a trace of panic, and then she quickly turned and left.
The other party is in the foundation building stage, and she is only in the Qi training stage. Unless she is crazy, she will think about continuing to cause trouble. After all, she just looked at her, which is not a big deal. If a monk in the Qi training stage dares to do this, it is a challenge to the family monks. Majestic and ignorant of life and death.
But if you were a Foundation Establishment monk, you would just appreciate it and don’t need to pay too much attention to it.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Li Qiao was not surprised.
The main purpose of the Qi-training period monks patrolling the family is not to fight the enemy, but to provide early warning. Without such patrolling monks, there may be a large number of casualties within the sphere of influence that ordinary people would not know about.
Wouldn't it be more effective to use stronger foundation-building monks to patrol? One is that it delays the cultivation time of the foundation-building monks, and the other is that this patrol is also dangerous. In the world of immortality, as long as you are not a top power, there is danger at your doorstep.
Watching the other party leave, Li Qiao felt an impulse to catch up, but he suppressed the impulse the moment it appeared. Under the monk's seemingly normal appearance, there were many restless emotions flowing. .
Immortal cultivators in the qi training lineage are not without desires and desires, and are even unscrupulous in some things. For example, at this moment, Li Qiao suddenly wanted to do something, but he was only in the foundation building period.
As a family foundation builder, Li Qiao also knows something that is not a secret in family foundation building, that is, the Qi training monks who patrol the family usually look for good-looking people. This is why Ji Qianyan was arranged to patrol the family in the first place. , and the real reason why the patrolling female cultivator I met at this moment was also good-looking.
Although there are basically no ugly monks, there is no doubt that these patrolling monks are a better batch.
There are all kinds of monks in the world of cultivating immortals, especially those who like the path of human relations. However, it is difficult for high-level monks to have any trust among themselves. They usually attack monks who are weaker than themselves, and those who are in the Qi training stage. Same thing.
Think about it, if a high-level monk suddenly appears in the sphere of influence of a cultivating family, and he acts unscrupulously, it will easily bring disaster to the cultivating family. In this case, there is still a slight possibility. , that is, a certain family is
The monks on patrol made the high-level monks feel comfortable and let the cultivating family go directly because they looked good.
There is nothing impossible about this. Monks, especially the higher-level monks, have fewer and fewer things to worry about, and basically do things based on their preferences. You must know that the cultivating family is not only flourishing in the world of cultivating immortals, but is almost the same. Among high-level monks It's nothing in the eyes. It's just that attacking these immortal cultivating families will easily conflict with the high-level monks of the local sects, so most of the immortal cultivating families will be safe and sound.
This is also one of the reasons why some immortal cultivating families are willing to stay closer to the sect and accept its protection even if they face oppression from the sect.
Although the chance of using family Qi training monks to resist the anger that may come from high-level monks is very low, and even many cultivating families have never encountered it, most of them will not let go of any possibility to survive in the world of cultivating immortals. of.
In other words, if Li Qiao is a high-level monk, he can do whatever he wants at this moment. The Qi-training monk cannot resist. Even if the opponent's family's golden elixir knows about it, he can only hide and tremble, but he just He is a foundation builder, and he only shows that his strength is okay in front of the family Qi training monks. If he really wants to do something, provoking the other party's family golden elixir will not do him any good.
Most of the general cultivating families, foundation-building monks and golden elixir monks are in the core area of the family. Therefore, as long as Li Qiao does not get too close to the core areas of these families, there is no danger under normal circumstances.
In particular, in order to recruit casual cultivators to trade in the family market, some cultivating families would not do anything to the casual cultivators. Therefore, Li Qiao was just passing by at this moment because he was in the foundation building period. Even if he looked twice, he would let the other party have some trouble. If there is no reason for the attack, there will be no problem, just because the other party is not as strong as him.
Of course, if there are foundation building or golden elixir monks from the other family appearing nearby, it is likely to be a different story.
The world of cultivating immortals seems chaotic, and there are some rules. However, these rules are often broken. Not long after meeting the female cultivator on patrol in this family, Li Qiao encountered someone who broke the rules.
The Cultivation Clan has patrolling monks, and those sects that are stronger than the Cultivation Clan also have patrolling monks, but because the sect must have high-level monks, the main purpose of the patrolling monks is to monitor the casual cultivators who enter the sect. .
If you want a large number of casual cultivators to bring resources to Zongmenfang City for trading, it is necessary to create an environment that they think is absolutely safe. For this reason, the sect will occasionally send some monks in the foundation building stage or even the golden elixir stage to work in the sect. When patrolling within the sect's sphere of influence, if they encounter monks who are killing and robbing other monks, they will be captured alive if they can; if they cannot be captured alive, they will be killed on the spot.
The monks who were killed made fanguan. The so-called fanguan was to use the bodies of dead monks to decorate the appearance of the sect's market. Paving roads or building walls outside the market depended on the preferences of their respective sects. And those who were killed Most of those captured alive were tortured to death, and some of them would be used by the monks of the sect to perform "ancient rituals" within a short period of time. This not only deterred the nearby immortal cultivating families, but also made them aware of the seriousness of the chaos within the sect's forces. as a result of.
In fact, the "ancient ritual" was originally just a means and excuse for high-level monks to punish lower-level monks at will. Therefore, when performing the ancient ritual, there was a sentence that the younger monks disrespected the seniors. Later, it was directly used by many sects. .
After all, the sect's sphere of influence is huge, and it is impossible and impossible to arrange enough sect monks to patrol all areas. The best way is to deter enough monks who are willing to take action so that they dare not take action.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the sect's sphere of influence is considered very safe by some casual cultivators.
In many cases, other monks who appear can be avoided in advance with the help of pupil skills, but there is one situation that cannot be avoided, that is, there are monks nearby. When this happens, and the nearby monks have not avoided each other, even individual monks, in the They can keep smiling within a distance of each other, and there are even monks who are strangers to each other chatting at an almost safe distance.
Seeing such a scene, there is basically no need to doubt that this is entering the sect's sphere of influence.
Generally, whether it is a cultivating family or a sect, a boundary stone will be placed on the edge of the sphere of influence, with the name of the force engraved on it. For example, the boundary stone of Lingye Sect will have the common characters of the five cultivating circles of Lingye Sect written on it.
However, the area is so large that it is impossible to place boundary stones on all borders. The distance between the boundary stones is basically based on the range of the spiritual consciousness of high-level monks. When many young monks enter the area belonging to the sect, unless they are lucky, most of them I can't see the boundary stone.
Fortunately, the monks living in the nearby area have a clear idea of where the boundaries are. People like Li Qiao who come from the outside can only make detailed analysis based on the specific situation.
Li Qiao was not interested in anything within the scope of the sect, could not afford to offend anyone, and had no need to enter the city. After realizing that he had entered the sect, he quickly turned back and planned to go in another direction.
But he didn't know that a monk from the sect was already staring at him from a distance.
Seeing Li Qiao turning around and leaving, the monk was not in any hurry. Instead, he motioned to another sect monk to look at him and asked, "Junior brother, what do you think of that monk?"
"He looks like a very ordinary monk." The monk from the same sect also looked at him, but didn't see anything.
"Although at such a distance, I can't feel the opponent's aura or the strength of his consciousness, I conclude that it is a foundation-building monk." The senior brother who first saw Li Qiao said with great certainty.
"How can I see it?"
In response to this, the sect brother just smiled and said, "How about confirming?"
Even if a foundation-building monk looks like a Qi-training monk, there will always be some subtle differences in the handling of some details. How can he easily tell the other party about this kind of discovery that he has summarized himself? If I really want to know, I can get resources Change!
After hearing this, the junior brother also looked at his senior brother, and a smile that both of them understood flashed between their eyes.
Verifying the conjecture is only one of them.
The sect's sphere of influence is very peaceful, and there are basically no monks who dare to break the sect's rules. And this kind of inspection, mostly completed by the sect's bottom-level foundation-building monks, seems a bit boring. If you stick to the rules, not even a practitioner There are no monks to be found, but there is no point in bullying ordinary Qi-training cultivators. Seeing a foundation-building monk will inevitably give rise to the idea of doing something.
As for breaking the sect’s rules? What's wrong with once in a while? As long as no one knows, it's fine. Even if someone does, just kill them all.
The reason why the two of them are not in a hurry is because they hope that the other party will run away and do it in a less crowded area. After all, they have learned a lot about some methods, and it is a bit uncomfortable to not have many opportunities to do it. Although it will not be seen by other monks of the same sect. There is a big problem, but in the end it is better not to see it.
As for the danger? What danger could a wandering Foundation-Building monk pose? Both of them believed that one could beat the other several times, and the spiritual weapons and equipment flashed from time to time on their bodies represented this confidence.
After confirming their eyes, the two sect monks headed towards the direction of Li Qiao at the flying speed of the foundation-building monks. They went straight to the target without using any thoughts or means to cover up.
The reason why Li Qiao flies at the speed of a qi-training monk is because as long as the distance is not close, it is generally not easy to discover his identity as a foundation-building monk.
But there was a monk coming towards him clearly behind him. How could Li Qiao not see it if he was not blind? As soon as he saw the other person's clothes and appearance, he recognized that he was a monk from the sect in this world.
He didn't think that the other party was just on the same road, nor did he believe that the safety of all monks within the sect's sphere of influence could be guaranteed as promised, so after discovering this situation, he instantly turned around and at the same time restored the speed that a monk in the foundation building period should have. .
Then seeing the other party turning towards him again, Li Qiao's face darkened.
Although judging from the flying speed, the two sect monks are also building foundations, but this is not a simple question of whether they can beat them or not. This is a question of whether they can be killed even if they can be beaten. To him, the sect monks are A troublesome existence.
If you kill a monk from the sect one moment, a high-level monk from the sect will teleport and appear the next moment. If you don't kill, you still have a chance to escape. If you kill him, you will definitely die.
Li Qiao couldn't understand why the monks from the sect suddenly targeted him? But he will never stop. Take the Lingye Sect near his family as an example. The patrolling monks all carry shadow stones. Once they are approached, even if they escape, the other party can use the shadow stones to leave traces on them.
Under the influence, all nearby immortal cultivating forces assisted in the arrest.
Most monks don't understand it, but there are also many monks who understand that there are such things as spiritual concealment. The monks are at least in the Qi training stage. One is the breath of the body, and the other is the intensity of spiritual consciousness.

As Li Qiao wanders farther and farther,
