Cultivation! My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration

A week later, next to a long-abandoned farmland, in front of a dilapidated town, a sturdy figure stepped out of the air.

The air behind him was stepped on with a muffled sound, and after a while, the sturdy figure gradually slowed down, and his feet gently landed in front of the town.

Qitu Town, located in the main traffic road, is the intersection of seven official roads and smooth roads. The traffic is developed and there is an endless stream of commerce. It was once prosperous here, and it is a rich place that many people envy.

There are thousands of fertile fields outside the town, and the big houses of Zhumen in the town are now in ruins, but you can still see the prosperity here.

As for the Qitu Town, why did it become what it is today, the young man with a strong body but a tender face, looked at the two withered bones hanging on the town archway.

The evening breeze blew, and the two dead bones swayed in the wind. The sound of the air-dried bones colliding with each other was like a hoarse wind chime with the taste of vicissitudes.

What ruined the peaceful life of this small town was a war, a mortal war that has not ended so far.

The figure standing at the gate of the town under the setting sun was naturally Jiang Li who had taken over the mission of the sect to subdue demons.

Jiang Li tapped his finger, two auras shot out, put down the corpse hanging on the arch, then waved his hand and dug two holes in the ground next to him, and buried the dry corpse in it.

After compacting the soil of the grave bag and planting two more grave head grasses, he nodded with satisfaction, and then walked into the ghostly Qitu Town in front of him.

Originally, disciples in the Qi training period were not allowed to perform the task of eliminating demons alone, but Jiang Li proved that he also has the strength to be on his own during the martial arts meeting in the sect. Coupled with the approval of Elder He, he came here alone .

In the devastated town, the roadside is covered with weeds, withered bones can be seen everywhere, and there are tragic traces of swordsmen everywhere.

It is said that the battles in the immortal world are cruel, and the world of mortals is so cruel that you cannot even have the opportunity to fight.

Jiang Li didn't bother to bury the corpse any more, but only dipped his eyes with yin attribute aura, searching for the ghost in the town.

"It seems that the little monsters didn't lie to me. Before the sun goes down, there is nothing to see here."

Jiang Li looked around, but did not find any ghosts flaunting the market. So without wasting his time, he walked to a well at the other end of the town and sat down, quietly waiting for night to fall.

Sitting by the well, Jiang Li took out a map and looked at it. On the map, five locations were marked with red circles, three of which had been crossed out by red crosses, and Qitu Town where he was currently located was The fourth marked location.

Jiang Li came here to carry out the sect's mission to subdue demons.

But the demon subduing mission itself was the information provided by Jiang Li, which was released after it was confirmed.

A week ago, Jiang Li and Yan Hong went to the Foreign Affairs Hall to choose the location of the shop. It was in a city of immortals that never sleeps, built by a number of sects.

The reasons for choosing this place are: first, prosperity, second, safety, and third, the average life expectancy of mortals in this surrounding country is no more than twenty-five years old.

Dozens of nomadic tribes, four hostile kingdoms, and every now and then a civil rebellion.

The intricate hostile relationship has made this area have been in constant wars for many years, and almost everyone here has forgotten the appearance of peace. .

However, the land in this area is extremely fertile, and the climate is warm and rainy. As long as there is a little cultivation, the grain will be harvested every year.

As a result, the people in this area are never afraid of hunger, and with the encouragement of the kingdom, the birth rate of the population is very exaggerated. It is normal for a couple to have eight or nine children.

In the end, the mortals here are constantly living and dying. For decades, the population has not decreased much.

Jiang Li originally came for the soul of the dead, so this area naturally became his first choice.

After letting Yanhong get in touch with the nearby weak monsters, he still has two problems to solve.

One was the issue of cheap remuneration, which was quickly resolved after discussing it with Ma Donggui.

Ma Donggui gave Jiang Li some samples of leftovers from the spirit mine, and there was indeed a very slight aura left in them. This is useless to the monks, but it is a good thing in the eyes of the underlying monsters.

And Ma Donggui said a few days later, a Zongmen flying boat will pass through the city that never sleeps, and then a huge amount of spiritual ore will be transported to him.

Then the second problem is that there are several ghost gathering places in this area. Souls in a large area nearby will be attracted by these shadows, which should have been more convenient for concentrated capture.

But in this place, the strong yin is often entrenched in powerful ghosts, and those little monsters who barely open their intelligence and have to go around when they see human hunters, how dare they come to collect their souls.

Therefore, in order to successfully expand the soul acquisition business in the future, Jiang Li could only make a trip to Eliminate Demons and Guards in person.

But since he is a member of Fumotang, why not do it if he can get an extra reward for the sect's quest?

So after he reported the situation himself, he took over the task himself.

Of course, someone else would definitely not be able to do this, but Jiang Li was the first disciple of the Demon Demon Hall, and such a little operation was not a violation at all.

Jiang Li was complimenting his wit, but at the end of the road in the distance, there was a loud noise of rolling wheels.

Jiang Li looked at the reputation, and was a little surprised to see that a team of merchants was slowly coming.

There are a lot of people who are not afraid of death for money. Even in such a turbulent situation, there are still businessmen who are still here.

"Little brother, this little brother, please find out."

This team was not too small, with five carriages, a dozen horses, and about 30 people. It was naturally incomparable to the caravan of Shengxian Pavilion back then, but it was still a medium-sized caravan.

In the front, a middle-aged man with a horse trotted two steps and walked in front of Jiang Li, the smell of perspiration swept his face.

Jiang Li didn't wear the sect disciple's uniform on this trip, but only wore a coarse cloth clothes dressed as ordinary civilians.

After all, wearing a disciple's uniform is a prestige and prestige, but the consequence is to expose himself cleanly. This was a lesson in the mission of the southern country at that time. Jiang Li still intends to act in a low-key manner this time.

So the other party only thought that Jiang Li was a nearby civilian and didn't care too much.

"Little brother is a local, please inquire about which direction Qitu Town should go?"

Jiang Li looked at the town just behind him, and then at the middle-aged man in front of him. He didn't expect him to ask such a question. This man doesn't seem to be blind.

"The visitor is looking for Qitu Town? What is the so-called Qitu Town?"

Jiang Li thought that the other party was pouting, so he asked another question.

"What little brother said, this place is desolate and uninhabited, and it will be dark today. I am waiting for the boat and car, so I naturally find Qitu Town to rest."

The middle-aged man smiled with a simple and honest look, and the caravan behind him gradually stopped.

"The visitor is lucky. The one behind me is Qitu Town."

Jiang Li was still sitting on the edge of the well, and pointed to the Qitu Town behind him.

"Don't make fun of me, little brother, how can this be Qitu Town? It's just that I was here a few years ago. How could Qitu Town be so broken in a year?"

This middle-aged man didn't believe it, he said with certainty that he had been here not long ago, and he also described the bustling and bustling crowd, and insisted that this must not be Qitu Town.

Jiang Li stared at his expression carefully, it didn't look like he was lying.

But from the intelligence point of view, this town has been abandoned for twenty years.

Jiang Li turned to look at the town behind him, fear and curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"Little brother, don't lie to me and wait. If you know where Qitu Town is, I'll give you some money for asking the way. That's all."

Seeing that Jiang Li was ignoring him, the middle-aged man was slightly agitated because of the heat and thirst, and his tone of voice became not so pleasant.

"Uncle An, what's wrong?"

Seeing that the middle-aged man here was asking for directions without result, a young woman in blue skirt on the other side of the convoy got out of the carriage and asked here.

The woman's waist was also equipped with a delicate long sword, which looked expensive and feminine. But if you look closely at her palm, you can see that the hand is smooth and tender without any calluses, which looks like a hand that has held a sword.

When the middle-aged man surnamed An heard the words, he stopped asking Jiang Li, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and ran back.

"Miss, that kid is talking nonsense, saying that this is Qitu Town, and he won't give us directions, what should we do?"

The woman in the blue dress looked at Jiang Li's side, and then looked at the only line of sunlight left in the sky. Obviously, it was no longer suitable to continue on the road.

"It's getting late, so it's not advisable to go any further. Let's go ahead and clean up a room in this barren town to rest for a night, and we'll rush to find the Qitu Town tomorrow morning."

The lady spoke, and the guards in the convoy breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, the convoy started again and slowly drove into the town.

"This young master, can you give the old man and granddaughter a well of water, the sun is hot in the daytime, and the old man is really thirsty."

When the motorcade drove into the city, Jiang Li saw that there were a pair of grandsons and a donkey behind the motorcade.

The old man led the donkey to beg for water, and the granddaughter also sat quietly on the donkey.

Jiang Li glanced at him expressionlessly, ignored his request, got up and walked towards the town.

The old man looked at Jiang Li's back, as if showing a pity.

Then he walked to the well, turned the wooden reel on the well, and pulled up the rope under the well little by little.

In the dim well, what was pulled up by the rope was not a bucket, but a skeleton that had also been turned into bones.

At this moment, the last sunlight disappeared between heaven and earth.

The skeleton hanging from the neck by the rope changed into a long-haired female ghost with ragged clothes and bite marks and was tortured to death at the moment when the wellhead was exposed.

The female ghost suddenly opened her eyes, dark tears streaming down her face, and she was about to pounce on the grandfather and grandson in front of her.

But in the next moment, the old man grabbed the female ghost's neck with one hand, and then slapped the ghost in the past and turned the ghost into ashes.

The old man threw the corpse that had been turned into a skeleton, as if it was just a piece of garbage, and then led the donkey to the town.

"The old man is thirsty, and he can't drink any water. The old man is thirsty."

And Jiang Li, who entered the town, was here with the merchant convoy ahead.

As night fell, walking in the city, they suddenly heard the clamor of people in front of them. Looking down the street, they saw bright lights and crowds of people.

Hurrying forward for a moment, I saw a bustling and lively street scene.

Street merchants are constantly selling, and pedestrians on the road are constantly coming and going. This is a ruined and dead town, isn't this the bustling Qitu Town?

"Miss, it's here, it's here!"

"Master and I, the jade jewelry and silk satin we bought here a few years ago!"

"The price here is very cheap. As long as you go back and sell it, you can sell it for ten times the price! Now the Anjia will be saved, now the Anjia will be saved!"

The woman in the blue dress got out of the carriage and was very excited to see the lively scene in front of her.

The An family is a merchant family in a nearby kingdom. Although the family is not very large, it can be considered rich.

A few years ago, his father and his eldest brother went out for a business trip. They also strayed into the Qitu Town as today, and then bought a lot of high-quality jade and satin in it. After returning to sell them, they made a fortune.

It was just that the good times did not last long. After the incident, his father and eldest brother contracted serious illnesses and died, and the family was without pillars to support them, and soon suffered malicious attacks from other families.

The business of the family plummeted, and it was deliberately set on fire, which burned a batch of important goods and caused heavy losses.

In less than a year, the An family will not be able to support it any longer.

At this time, the housekeeper who was given the surname An suddenly suggested that if he could go to Qitu Town again, he might be able to save the entire An family.

He only stayed in the town for a while, and was arranged to go out to guard the horses, but the prosperity here was still deeply engraved in his mind.

"Okay, there is an inn in front of you, Uncle An, you can take someone to ask for a few rooms to park the carriage, and I'll ask the price..."

At this time, Jiang Li also came from behind.

He looked at the excited scene of everyone in the convoy, and then looked at the ghostly shadows around him.

Unexpectedly, in such a place, there is still a ghost market.

To buy things in a ghost market, you spend yang energy and vitality instead of silver and gold. Can this be "cheap"?

"Hey, this little brother, I'm sorry, we wrongly blamed you just now, thank you for showing us the way!"

The woman in the blue dress found Jiang Li coming from behind, and even took the initiative to apologize.

Jiang Li glanced at her and was slightly surprised, so he showed a rare kindness, took out a small bag of scraps of jade from the mine from his arms and threw it away.

"If you want to buy something here, just use this, don't be greedy, just leave when you're done."

After he finished speaking, he didn't pay much attention to it, and strolled along the ghost market where Hundred Ghosts Walked at Night.

"This is... broken jade? It's so pure and transparent."

The woman in the blue dress untied the cloth bag suspiciously, and inside was a piece of broken jade that had been cut out.

The jade produced in the Lingshi vein is not much different from stone weeds in the world of immortals, but in the realm of mortals, it is a first-class and beautiful jade, and a small bag alone is enough to exchange for one. Four into the house.

She hurriedly raised her head to look for Jiang Li again, and an idea occurred to her that she could give away this kind of thing at will. It would not be a bad thing if she just got married.

But in such a short time, Jiang Li had already disappeared from her sight.

Jiang Li was walking in the ghost market at this time, and he was also holding a large bag of broken spiritual minerals in his hand.

It's clear that it is to bully these ghosts without knowledge, and directly use the broken jade that is of little value as a spiritual stone, and spends a lot of money to buy everything that can be seen.
