Keeping a Low Profile in the World of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 142 Poisonous (Subscribe)

Wu Tao settled at No. 39, Fulin Road, in the shantytown of East City.

It was similar to the Xinde Lane in West Outer City where he had stayed before.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Wu Tao walked behind the door and heard the banging sound even louder. He opened the door and saw two unfriendly casual cultivators wearing the same gray clothes, carrying a dying casual cultivator in hemp clothes with scars all over his face.

Wu Tao didn't know what was going on. He patiently asked, "What can I do for you three?"

One of the gray-clothed cultivators heard Wu Tao's words and slapped the hemp-clothed cultivator in the face, cursing, "How dare you lie to us and say that this person is your friend and owes you spiritual stones? Look at him, do you know us?"

The hemp-clothed cultivator groaned in pain, looked at Wu Tao, and said viciously, "You owe me spiritual stones, and now you pretend not to know me? Okay..."

"My two masters, he really owes me spiritual stones. If you ask for it back, it will be regarded as the spiritual stones I owe to the gambling house. The remaining spiritual stones are your hard work fee."

Wu Tao frowned slightly. He didn't expect that in such a place, he would be blamed by the gambler.

None of the gambler's words were true.

And it's not surprising that the gambler did such a thing.

This is why he moved away immediately after discovering that Duocai Laodao was a gambler. If he had contact with the gambler, it would definitely be a lot of trouble.

He looked at the two gray-clothed casual cultivators from the gambling house and said, "My two Daoists, this man is talking nonsense. I really don't know him and I don't owe him any spiritual stones. If I owe him spiritual stones, then I can ask him to show me the IOU."

The two gray-clothed casual cultivators heard this and looked at the hemp-clothed casual cultivator. The hemp-clothed casual cultivator immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "Fellow Daoist Wu, you can't do this. At that time, I said that based on our friendship, I wouldn't write an IOU, but you still wrote one. You can't just deny the debt just because I don't have an IOU..."

Wu Tao heard the hemp-clothed casual cultivator's words and thought to himself: How did he know my last name was Wu? It seems that this man can't be kept.

The hemp-clothed casual cultivator looked at Wu Tao's uncertain face and was anxious. He just said a surname casually, and he didn't know if it was right. He was actually betting on whether the two casual cultivators from the gambling house would be tempted by the money.

He often went to the gambling house for the first time, and knew that the casual cultivators in the gambling house were not good people, and were extremely greedy. Seeing that Wu Tao was a low-level casual cultivator, he might really take action.

This way, the fake can be turned into the real.

Sure enough, he heard a casual cultivator in hemp clothes said: "I don't know whether you know each other or not. You said that the IOU was not written. So, fellow Taoist, let us go in and find the IOU."

As for going in, whether to find the IOU or not, it is no longer important. The casual cultivator in hemp clothes knows that the two casual cultivators in the gambling house have already thought about robbing the spirit stones.

In the shantytown, where the patrol team basically does not care, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

It's not killing people.

It's just robbing some spirit stones from the poor casual cultivators.

Seeing this, Wu Tao said no more, but said: "Then you come in and find it. If you can find the IOU, it will be considered your ability."

After the three people went in, Wu Tao took out a medium-grade spirit stone with one hand.

When Wu Tao just took out the middle-grade spirit stone, he was seen by the gray-clothed casual cultivator. His eyes lit up and he asked, "Is that a middle-grade spirit stone in your hand?"

Wu Tao said, "Yes!" As he said that, he embedded the middle-grade spirit stone into the spirit slot of the soundproof and anti-peeping magic array, closed the door with his other hand, and then opened the magic array.

The divine thought sank into his mind, and the soul-eating insect flew out of his mind immediately. In an instant, the three casual cultivators died silently.

Looking at the bodies of the three casual cultivators, he searched through them and only found seven low-grade spirit stones. All other valuable things were gone. He cast three fireball spells to burn the three bodies into ashes, and then used a cleaning spell to clean the ashes.

He was speechless and said, "What happened here?"

After killing three casual cultivators, he definitely couldn't stay in this place anymore, and this vest must be discarded. Fortunately, with his bone-shifting and shape-changing skills, he could have as many vests as he wanted.

After leaving the shantytown, Wu Tao changed his vest halfway, and then went to the pawnshop to rent a new place to stay.

After renting, Wu Tao came to an empty corner, changed into a slightly noble robe, and then went to some magic weapon shops in Dongcheng. Seeing Wu Tao coming in, the immortal cultivators in the shops immediately greeted him: "Daoyou, what magic weapon do you need?"

Wu Tao said: "I don't need magic weapons, I want to sell a batch of magic weapons, I wonder if your shop will accept them?"

The other party heard it and said: "Yes, of course. Please wait for a moment, I will call our shopkeeper to come."

Wu Tao nodded and watched him walk into the back hall.

Not long after, a cultivator who looked like he was in his 50s came out. Wu Tao immediately smelled the smell of spark stone on the other person, and knew that the other person was a refiner. The smell was so strong that he should be a first-order seventh-level refiner.

This shop should belong to this refiner.

Wu Tao, through the bone-shifting and shape-changing technique, changed his aura, and of course he could also remove the smell of the spark stone on his body. Otherwise, his colleagues would be able to guess his identity as a weapon refiner with just one sniff.

"Hello, fellow Daoist. You want to sell your magic weapon, right?" The fifty-year-old weapon refiner said with a bow.

Wu Tao nodded and said, "Yes."

The fifty-year-old weapon refiner said, "In that case, please follow me."

Wu Tao followed the weapon refiner to a private room, and heard him say, "Please take out the magic weapon you want to sell, I need to identify its level."

"Of course."

Wu Tao nodded, reached out to touch the storage bag, and took out all the magic weapons he was going to use this time, floating in front of him.

"This is..."

The fifty-year-old weapon refiner was surprised to see nearly twenty magic weapons floating in front of him, especially two of them, which exuded a more intense aura than the first-level seventh-grade magic weapons he refined.

Then, he reached out and took the first-level ninth-grade magic sword in his hand.

The aura wandered on the restrictions, and he was shocked in his heart: "This is a first-level ninth-grade magic weapon."

After a while, Wu Tao walked out of the magic weapon shop. All the magic weapons just now were sold and exchanged for white spiritual stones. There are still two batches of magic weapons, waiting to be sold next month and the next month.

He was happy in his heart and walked into an empty alley, restoring the appearance and aura of the previous low-level casual cultivator.

Because of his identity, he can correspond to the short-term rental contract, which will be used when leaving the city.

You don't need to prove your identity when entering the city, but you do need to prove your identity when leaving the city. The disciples of Qingling Sect have a firm grasp on the independent cultivators in this area.

Walking out of the alley, Wu Tao was about to leave the city when he suddenly saw a group of figures flying in the air on flying swords. They were the patrol team of East City. Wu Tao heard the patrol team shout:

"All independent cultivators are prohibited from leaving the city. Return to your residence and accept inspection."

"Is it poisonous?"

Wu Tao uttered three words, his face full of helplessness.
