MMB Chapter 218 Old Man Wu
Chapter 218 Old Man Wu
In the cultivation world, there are ghost cultivators, demonic beasts, and evil cultivators. Some people will maliciously harm others because of their cultivation techniques or special magical treasures.
Even demonic beasts, ghost cultivators, and evil cultivators don't kill indiscriminately. At least they won't kill randomly to vent their desires, unless it's for personal gain.
But it's different when facing evil cultivators; they're like hyenas of the cultivation world. No matter what race or who they encounter, they'll swarm and plunder and kill them all.
Because heretical cultivators are universally hated in the cultivation world, they can only obtain cultivation resources by robbing others.
Furthermore, since they don't have any kind of peers, when you encounter evil practitioners, you'll find that their groups basically include all sorts of people.
Of course, evil cultivators aren't really stupid. If they encounter high-level cultivators and are outnumbered, they will deliberately avoid them.
Alternatively, they could follow the enemy and wait for reinforcements to arrive before launching a surprise attack together.
When Wu Tao was traveling, he would emit the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator, which would make many cultivators think twice.
In order to quickly enhance the power of his two treasures, the Myriad Soul Banner and the Nine-Story Iron Pagoda, Wu Tao is now suppressing his cultivation level to the early Golden Core stage and alternating between the late Foundation Establishment stage and the early Foundation Establishment stage.
If he hadn't known that a Qi Refining stage cultivator could never appear alone in the wild, he would have disguised himself as a Qi Refining stage cultivator.
Wu Tao took out a golden flying sword magic weapon from his storage bag, and his body exuded the pressure of the early stage of Golden Core. He then flew openly and brazenly through the wilderness.
With Wu Tao's disguise, the journey that followed indeed became as difficult as hell.
Along the way, whenever they saw him as a heretical cultivator, or those cultivators pretending to be heretical cultivators, they would basically treat Wu Tao as easy prey.
One head, two heads, four heads, ten heads, thirty-eight heads, eighty-nine heads—soon Wu Tao's Ten Thousand Souls Banner and Nine-Story Iron Pagoda gained hundreds more prisoners or souls.
Among them, Foundation Establishment cultivators made up the majority, Golden Core cultivators numbered thirty to forty, and even a fourth-order ghost cultivator was captured by Wu Tao and taken to the fourth floor of the Nine-Story Iron Tower.
There are hundreds more storage bags and storage rings in my personal space.
The storage bags are divided into three sizes: one square meter, ten square meters, and one hundred square meters. The storage ring has a total internal space of one thousand square meters.
In addition to all sorts of strange and wonderful magical treasures, artifacts, pills, and elixirs, there were also tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones.
The saying goes, "Murder and arson bring wealth." Wu Tao originally intended to use his disguise to replenish the strength of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and the Nine-Story Iron Pagoda.
Now, he has even gained a large number of resources, and Wu Tao's fame has spread far and wide along the way.
He couldn't always remain silent; eventually, his brutal killings were witnessed.
I don't know how they spread the news, but everyone knows that there is a Nascent Soul cultivator disguised as a low-level cultivator luring and killing evil cultivators.
This turned out to be a blessing in disguise for those true lone travelers along the way; at least the originally dangerous road suddenly became different.
Of course, there were also a few unlucky ones who were mistaken for Wu Tao and encountered evil cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, and as a result, they died unjustly.
After constantly encountering enemies at the beginning, Wu Tao eventually realized he should switch to a different map when he couldn't see any enemies for a long time.
Wu Tao then stopped concealing his Nascent Soul stage aura and quickly ran out of the area.
In the middle of the battle, Wu Tao personally fought a fierce battle against three Nascent Soul stage evil cultivators who were chasing after him.
With his superb and skillful magic, as well as the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, the Nine-Story Iron Pagoda, and the Invisible Needle, Wu Tao not only escaped unscathed but also injured two of them.
From that day on, Wu Tao deliberately took a detour, and later passed through seven or eight countries before finally reaching a safe area.
Wu Tao enjoyed countless scenic views along the way. Compared to the previous worlds, the strange mountains and rocks and beautiful lakes of the cultivation world would definitely be very popular in other worlds.
Wu Tao set a timeframe of five hundred years for his travels.
He wasn't a true native monk, and he didn't have much affection for the Song Kingdom or Changchun Valley.
Even Wu Tao himself wasn't sure if he would ever return to Changchun Valley again, since he felt like an outsider in the cultivation world.
As long as it benefits his cultivation, Wu Tao doesn't mind drifting outside for a long time.
With his personal space at his disposal, he had no shortage of spiritual herbs, and his alchemy skills could guarantee his supply of pills. What difference did it make whether he returned to Changchun Valley or not?
Five hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. In a bustling market in Dancheng, Qin State, a thin old man was slowly carving something with a wooden knife in his hand.
"Old Wu, why didn't you go to the teahouse to listen to the opera today? I heard that a new storyteller came to the teahouse today."
The thin old man coughed lightly twice, continuing to carve with complete concentration, and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"I'm not going. I'm feeling a bit tired today."
"Hey, Mr. Wu, you need to take care of yourself. The weather has suddenly turned cold recently, so it's best to burn more firewood indoors."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Yan."
The young man passing by shook his head and left; he had known Old Man Wu since he was a child.
The other person always seemed to look old, but Yan Ge'er clearly remembered that his grandfather had also been called Wan Ge'er by the other person.
It seems that the other party has lived here for over a hundred years, and the nearby residents all guessed that Old Man Wu must be a cultivator.
However, no one ever felt the same majesty as a cultivator from him. But if Old Man Wu was a mortal, his age was clearly not right.
Old Wu's mysterious nature meant that even the local officials never dared to cause trouble at his shop.
Old Wu's toy shop is also frequently closed, while the other party usually only opens once or twice a month.
Sometimes it's even normal for the other party to shut themselves away for several years, but Old Wu never seems to lack money.
The family has housekeepers and servants. Over the past hundred years, those servants and housekeepers have changed many times, but Old Man Wu is still the same as before.
Old Wu carefully placed a monkey doll with a golden headband on the shelf only after he finished carving the last piece.
Then he looked up at the sky, smiled wryly, and thought, "Is it finally coming?"
The shop door suddenly closed, followed by a gentle breeze, and the entire shop fell into a deathly silence.
The Qin Kingdom is the human nation closest to the central region of the cultivation world, and it has three major sects within its borders.
They are Zhen Tian Zong, Gui Yi Men, and Yi Tian Tang, and the founders of these three sects are all Nascent Soul level experts.
The Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Zhen Tian Sect is named Wang Yidao.
The Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Guiyi Sect is named Liu Tianjian.
The ancestor of the Heavenly Transformation God was named Liu Daqiao.
Today, the three Nascent Soul stage elders happened to gather together to enjoy spiritual wine and exchange cultivation insights.
Compared to the masses in the cultivation world, these three have now reached the pinnacle. Unfortunately, these three Nascent Soul Ancestors, respected by millions of cultivators, also have their own troubles.
