Chapter 34 - Flower and Bird Market

"It's the Immortal Master!"

"Quick, everyone, kneel and thank the Immortal Master!"

The battle came quickly and ended even faster.

The villagers only felt a few rumbling sounds, and then the previously arrogant Cultivators were all lying on the ground?

And those majestic giant wolves also scattered and fled.

A few village Elders, who had some knowledge, recovered their senses and quickly shouted, directing the villagers to kneel down in unison and kowtow to Su Ping.

Su Ping lifted a black-robed Cultivator with a broken leg and another who was on his last breath, looking at the villagers who were cautiously watching him.

Su Ping instructed the village Elder to take the villagers and wait for the City Lord's Mansion to come for the aftermath.

He then carried the captives and returned the way he came.

Watching Su Ping's figure disappear over the horizon.

The villagers dared to slowly stand up and then cautiously began to discuss.

Some village Elders recognized Su Ping as the Inspector of Jinque City, whom he had taken young people to visit a while ago.

"We've met a good Immortal Master!"

The oldest village Elder, leaning on his staff, said with a look of relief:

"Having lived for so many years, this is the first time I've seen an Immortal Master from the city willing to come out and clear out those Cultivators who do bad things!"

"I'm going to write to Er Ya and convince her and her husband to move back."

"This world is becoming more and more unstable; only under the jurisdiction of an Immortal Master who pities us can we live in peace!"

… … … …

Su Ping returned to Linyue Manor and began to interrogate the two black-robed Cultivators.

The process went smoothly; Su Ping didn't even need to try the various tortures he had seen online.

Just a few threats, and the two terrified black-robed Cultivators revealed all the information they knew.

These two were Loose Cultivators from Jintu City, several major cities away.

Because they were involved in illicit business, these two had deliberately moved far from their hometown to work.

Their purpose in coming here this time was to fulfill a large order, requiring at least two thousand living people in a short period!

There was nothing special about choosing that village this time; they simply favored its proximity to a large river, which would allow them to transport all the villagers out at once by boat.

Additionally, from what these two confessed, the buyer did not seem to be seeking a Foundation Establishment Opportunity through blood sacrifice, but rather was a Soul Refining evil Cultivator, who seemed to be in urgent need of a large number of living people to refine a Magical Artifact.

After questioning them, Su Ping directly struck two palms, ending the wicked lives of these two Bandit Cultivators.

Su Ping did not continue his burst of righteousness to go after the evil Cultivator who was refining the Magical Artifact.

Instead, he used the Inspector's channel to notify the immortal sect of every detail of the matter.

Not long after, Su Ping received a reply via a wooden token: Understood!

Then, that afternoon, a Blazing Fire Bird with a wingspan exceeding ten meters and feathers like burning flames descended from the sky, spoke human words to Su Ping, took the Jade Slip that Su Ping had reported, and soared back into the sky, returning to the immortal sect.

"It even used the Blazing Fire Bird clan, cultivated by the immortal sect's Elders, to transmit and receive messages."

"The immortal sect is also on high alert."

Su Ping watched the Fire Bird, which had at least Qi training (late stage) cultivation and was even better at long-distance flight, depart.

He then left Linyue Manor again.

However, this time, the people of Linyue Manor and Jinque City no longer believed that the Inspector was going Fishing or taking a break.

Instead, because of this incident, they felt that this Inspector was a rare and responsible Inspector!

He must now be patrolling the Jinque City area; otherwise, how would he have discovered the traces of those evil Cultivators before?

And saved at least one village of Mortals?

Having such an Immortal Master was truly a blessing for Jinque City!

One should know that most Inspectors were considered qualified as long as they could ensure that no major chaos occurred within a hundred-mile radius of their city.

If a few villages were lost, or a few thousand people went missing,

They would not have to worry about being blamed by the immortal sect for it.

As for gaining merit to climb higher… how many Cultivators who had fallen to become Inspectors still had that ambition?

Most Mortals ultimately can only rely on themselves, and yet in this world, the only way out for most Mortals is Cultivation!

Su Ping didn't know that his reputation among the middle and lower classes had suddenly improved.

He found a cave, activated a Return Talismanic Incantation, and returned to Water Blue Star.

He slowly adapted to the spirit-less environment of Water Blue Star.

Su Ping first went to the reservoir Fishing spot and used up his refreshed 60 Fishing attempts.

This time, he didn't get any Azure Spirit Fish, but his warehouse did gain 40 Little Green Fish and 20 Big Green Fish.

Su Ping looked at the information stream:

[Current Fishing Rank: Rank 3 (70/1000)]

"Adding the remaining 10 attempts after Linyue Lake upgraded, I have 70 experience points."

"One step closer to Rank 5!"

"At Rank 5, I should be able to unlock new exchange items, including the Fishing Compass, an item that assists in finding Fishing spots."

"Then I won't have to wander around blindly like a headless fly, relying on luck."

"Phew!"

"I haven't been shopping in a while, it seems."

"Tonight, I'll steal a moment of leisure."

Su Ping returned to the city from the reservoir, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and pulled out his phone to check the time.

He then changed into a common Daoist robe, used bone contraction techniques to alter his physique, and slightly changed his facial features.

He then plunged into the hottest night market and began to eat skewers.

Su Ping was using Zhou Xuan's phone.

It had quick pay enabled, and Zhou Xuan had thoughtfully deposited tens of thousands in pocket money.

Su Ping had an astonishing appetite, but he didn't have to worry about the embarrassment of not having money to pay.

In the night market, some people noticed Su Ping's uniqueness, at most taking a few extra glances, but it didn't cause any commotion.

After all, nowadays, people wearing strange clothes have increasingly caused aesthetic fatigue due to the bombardment of information.

Unless it was a big celebrity, others would probably think this Daoist was just another internet celebrity from who knows where.

Although he did have a really good aura about him.

Drinking and eating skewers, experiencing the myriad flavors of the human world.

It wasn't until dawn that Su Ping emerged from a 24-hour wonton shop.

He felt about eighty percent full.

"Objectively speaking, today's snacks have more variety and unique flavors than before."

"In terms of overall taste, there are pros and cons, but there's been slight improvement now."

"I just wonder how much of that is thanks to new seasonings."

Su Ping made a special trip back to East King Temple to tidy himself up.

Then he headed directly to the largest flower and bird market in the DC area.

He had bought quite a few Beast Taming Talismanic Incantations at the Bǎibǎo Fāng.

Now, it wasn't convenient to go to other markets in the Cultivation World to find those spiritual Mortal beasts.

However, there were no such restrictions on Water Blue Star.

Furthermore, judging by the rats, the proportion of spiritual animals in his hometown was much higher than that of Mortal beasts in the Cultivation World.

The main shoppers at the flower and bird market had always been middle-aged and elderly people.

So, the market opened very early.

While many young people were still sound asleep, the middle-aged and elderly had already eaten breakfast, finished their morning exercises, and were strolling through the morning market with birdcages in hand and hands behind their backs.

Su Ping walked among them; he wasn't the youngest, but he was the most distinguished.
