Chapter 676 No Such Person (2)
The huge Bailong City was shrouded in a white and icy Buddhist light, as if it was upside down in a large bowl carved out of black ice.
Countless long rainbows of light rolled in the air, trying to break out of the Buddha's light, but every time they got a little closer, the people in the light felt cold all over, and dense ice flakes quickly covered their bodies, scaring them so much that they retreated hurriedly.
The Nine Dragons Reverend was suspended in the air, sitting cross-legged right above the White Dragon City, looking down at the countless panicked cultivators and immortals.
Instead, the mortals of Bailong City were all smiling as they looked at the immortals running around in the sky, serving tea and watching the show.
"Buddha has mercy on me. Please be patient and don't be impatient."
The voice of the Nine Dragons Venerable resounded throughout the entire process: "My junior fellow monk was attacked and seriously injured in Bailong City, and my master is on his way... In order to prevent the murderer from escaping, I have no choice but to temporarily seal off the city."
After a slight pause, the Nine Dragons Venerable said softly, "I will naturally compensate you for causing confusion and shock to you fellow Taoists... Well, the 'White Snake Jinjin Pill' extracted from the essence of the White Snake Jin Grass has a very good effect. Normally, one pill costs 100,000 high-grade immortal crystals. I will sell it to you fellow Taoists for 10,000 high-grade immortal crystals. Is that okay?"
The corner of Jiulong's mouth curled up slightly, and he said softly: "Each person is limited to one pill. I hope you fellow Taoists will understand!"
The Nine Dragons Reverend smiled very...peacefully.
The total cost of a White Snake Huanjin Pill is only 1,300 high-grade immortal crystals.
Normally, it is sold at the price of 100,000 high-quality immortal crystals, which is truly a 'huge profit'. Except for those spendthrift Jurchen immortal women, no one would be interested in this 'useless' elixir that, apart from whitening the skin and cleansing the body, can also increase the redness of the lips and make the teeth whiter and more crystal clear!
Therefore, the annual sales volume of White Snake Huanjin Pill is probably only around a thousand pills.
But this time, taking this opportunity to sell it at a 10% discount... In Bailong City, I'm afraid that every casual cultivator passing by will buy one and use it to please their wives?
Well, the selling price has dropped tenfold... But the Nine Dragons Venerable calculated through the calculations of the heavenly secrets, and he roughly determined that after today, within the next three days, the sales volume of the White Snake Huanjin Pill would be more than 150,000 pills!
The price dropped tenfold, and sales soared one hundred and fifty times. This year, the total profit of the White Snake Huanjin Pill increased about fifteen times!
Buddha is merciful and kind!
With countless thoughts in his mind, a shining snow-white relic in his mind jumped up and down, releasing wisps of mental power, locking onto all living beings within the range of the Buddha's light!
The realm of the Nine Dragons Venerable has long been promoted to the realm of "Bodhisattva".
Although he had just broken through this threshold and condensed into the thirty-first heaven immortal status, the Buddhist "Bodhisattva" had great magic power, great supernatural powers, and incredible means.
When Lu Yi's sword soared into the air, the Nine Dragons Reverend seemed to have done nothing, but in fact his mental power had already split into millions, silently locking onto all the living beings .
The moment the sword flashed, countless subtle forces of thought had already enveloped the entire city.
Now, in the vast area of Bailong City shrouded in the vast white Zen light, there are 117,892 Taoist and Buddha True Immortals above the True Immortal level, 589,995 cultivators with cultivation, and 18,474,380 ordinary mortals...
There are several dogs...
There are cats, exactly 3.7 times the number of dogs...
There were birds, a total of 348,993,116 birds… 2,452 different species.
There are fish...
There are shrimps...
There are mosquitoes...
There are rats...
Three thousand miles deep underground, within this range, there are earthworms... ants... beetles...
Hundreds of millions of lives, their every move, all their states, whether they are sick or healthy, disabled or intact, whether their vitality is strong or weak, and even their emotions, whether they are happy, angry, sad, panicked...
Even their cultivation methods.
Be it sword cultivation, alchemy cultivation, talisman cultivation, formation cultivation... or all kinds of unorthodox and strange methods, in the heart of Venerable Jiulong, they are all like a speck of dust on a mirror, clear and visible at a glance.
Unless one’s cultivation level is more than two levels higher than that of Venerable Jiulong, no living being can escape the lock of Venerable Jiulong’s great magical power!
Lord Jiulong was confident that the murderer would be among the living beings in the city after he made his move.
With his cultivation level, after being enveloped by his Buddha's light, he still wanted to escape from Bailong City... That was impossible. Unless he was a powerful Buddha-level being who had practiced the same Buddhist magical powers as him, he could escape from his Buddha's light silently.
Others... even the immortals on the Dao Court side who are at the same level as Buddha, cannot escape without making any sound!
The murderer is in Bailong City!
Outside the city, three hundred miles away from the barrier formed by the white Buddha light, Lu Yi stood on a small hill with his hands behind his back, watching with interest the Nine Dragon Venerable who was displaying his magical powers.
The magical power of Venerable Jiulong, which can split his mind into billions, is indeed powerful.
However, Lu Yi had the Taichu Huntong Pearl to conceal his aura and cut off cause and effect. The Nine Dragons Venerable could not find any trace of Lu Yi at all. Before he sent down the Buddha's light to seal off the entire city, Lu Yi had already left Bailong City easily.
"What a treasure, what a treasure!" Lu Yi gently touched the Taichu Huntong Pearl with his mind and praised it sincerely.
Lu Yi still hasn't figured out the rank of this treasure.
Anyway, the Prison-Suppressing Buddha Xuan Guang once hid his Seven Treasures Vajra Ring in Lu Yi's body to teach Monk Shen Jiu a lesson... This Seven Treasures Vajra Ring is obviously not as good as the Taichu Huntong Pearl.
Lu Yi smiled as he watched the Bailong City gradually calm down.
Around him, wisps of breeze visible to the naked eye were swirling and dancing, and a few palm-sized white clouds transformed into Ruyi shapes and lingered around his body with the breeze.
This kind of performance is probably the signature look of the immortals from the Taoist sect who have just cultivated to the status of true immortals, and go to the secular world to "show off their divinity in front of others". Surrounded by the breeze and the bright moon, with the Taoist energy filling their bodies, the secular rich men in the world will kneel down and kowtow to them when they meet them, and call them "mercy, old immortal" all the time... Tsk, this feeling, only those who have experienced it know!
Seeing Lu Yu...Oh, no, now I should call him 'Zhen Yuanzi'!
Seeing Zhen Yuanzi showing off like this, everyone knows that this is a Taoist fairy who has just come out of the world and is very excited to hang out in the mortal world!
Lu Yi silently practiced the "One Qi Sutra" to adjust the Taoist energy in his body.
Besides the gentle breeze and bright moon , there was a green wood vitality in his body that was like that of the sacred Dachun tree, which permeated his body. The extremely vigorous green wood vitality surged and caused green Dao patterns to continuously emerge under his fair skin, and there was even a faint layer of green lightning flashing on the Dao patterns.
Well, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this 'Zhen Yuan Zi' is practicing the pure Taoist longevity technique.
Comprehend the vitality of Qingmu, and from it comprehend the mysteries of innate Jiamu and acquired Yimu, and even extract a wood-attributed demon-subduing divine thunder from it... It can be the "Jia Mu Divine Thunder" or the "Yi Mu Divine Thunder", and of course it could also be a high-end thunder method such as the "Taiyi Qingmu Divine Thunder".
No matter how you look at it, this is a pure Taoist practitioner.
Moreover, the aura exuded by 'Zhen Yuan Zi' is gentle, majestic, and full of vitality, but without the slightest edge. Instead, it is as mellow as a newly ripe red apple, which makes people happy at the sight of it!
Therefore, this person definitely cannot be a sword immortal!
With such a gentle and mellow aura, one could be a skilled alchemist, or a master skilled in cultivating elixirs, but there is absolutely no way he could cultivate the sharp and murderous sword art, or become a sword immortal with eyes as sharp as a blade!
"When will a ginseng fruit tree grow? Then my nickname 'Zhen Yuan Zi' will be justified."
Lu Yi smiled brightly.
From behind, a long rainbow of light broke through the air. A dozen pretty female fairies, who were traveling together and whose cultivation levels ranged from the third to the seventh heaven, pressed the light of escape and stood blankly less than a hundred feet away from Lu Yi.
After hesitating for a while, a female immortal with the highest cultivation level bowed to Lu Yi and said, "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, what happened to Bailong City? Is that the Nine Dragons Venerable from the Nine Dragon Cave in Dalongling? Why did he seal the city? Bailong City will never be fortified. This was his personal promise back then!"
Lu Yi coughed lightly and bowed to the fairy. "My dear fairy, I, the Taoist Zhen Yuanzi, am very polite to you. I don't know what happened in the city. Before I even entered the city, I saw Buddha's light falling from the sky, covering the entire White Dragon City."
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Yi said softly, "It's just that from what Reverend Jiulong said just now, it seems that his fellow disciple was attacked in the city, and the murderer is in the city, so..."
"Ah?" The fairy frowned. "Is there such a thing? We have been on the road for half a year just to buy a few White Snake Huanjin Pills... How long will this take?"
Lu Yi coughed again and said with a smile, "That's fine. Just now, the Nine Dragons Venerable promised that because he has delayed many Taoist friends in the city, the White Snake Huanjin Pill will be sold at a 10% discount in the next three days. Only 10,000 high-grade immortal crystals are enough to buy one... However, each person is limited to one."
The eyes of more than a dozen female immortals lit up at the same time. One of them looked the youngest, only thirteen or fourteen years old, but her cultivation was around the fifth level of the True Immortal Realm. She had practiced for who knows how many thousands of years and clapped her hands and laughed, "This is really good news... Uh, if one junior fellow of Lord Jiulong dies every year..."
Lu Yu closed his mouth tightly and said nothing.
The female fairy with the highest level of cultivation quickly rolled her eyes at her junior sister and pointed her lightly with her right index finger.
This is offensive.
What would happen if Lord Jiulong heard it?
Lu Yi looked at the group of female fairies with a smile. He noticed that when the girl spoke without restraint just now, the Nine Dragons Venerable who was sitting cross-legged above the White Dragon City frowned and looked directly over here!
The magical powers of Buddhism are profound and mysterious. If someone says something bad about him at such a short distance and he doesn't feel anything, how can the Venerable Jiulong sit firmly on the Dalong Ridge?
Just as Lu Yi was laughing, a roar came from the direction of Dalongling.
"Jiulong, you, you, you are a waste!"
The Vulture Monk has arrived!
