Chapter 164: The Current Situation of Great Elder Mo Niansheng

After the opening of Taoan Market, although it has not yet reached a certain scale, there are many independent cultivators here during this period.

The monk was already used to it, and after a brief reminder, he prepared to re-enter the dock.

After this man finished shouting, he saw that Ye Yang would not go far away no matter what. He looked at the Sun-Chasing Flying Turtle that Ye Yang was sitting on and felt that it looked quite familiar.

It occurred to me that there seemed to be a guardian in the sect whose mount was a turtle, and that man carried a sword and was very famous.

He looked up and saw that, as expected, the person in front of him was standing on a flying turtle and had a sword on his back. Who else could it be but the famous Protector Ye?

So he quickly clasped his fists and said, "The one in front is Ye Protector. Please forgive me, Liu Qing, for being blind and not recognizing Ye Protector just now."

"No problem. I heard that the peach blossoms are in full bloom, so I came here to see the beauty of the world."

When Liu Qing heard what Ye Yang said, he immediately showed a hint of excitement and said, "Please come in quickly. Guardian Ye has come at the right time. The early peaches have just grown in the dock. I will bring them to the Guardian right away."

Ye Yang followed Liu Qing into the valley.

It is spring and flowers are blooming all around. There is a small sand island in Taohuawu. The river water is not deep, but emerald green like jade, and it is extremely transparent under the refraction of sunlight.

There was a large group of thin horses with exposed ribs. They were not tall but full of vigor and vitality. They were galloping along the river bank, chasing water plants. When they ran, they looked like flames.

There were three or five barbarians nearby, wearing animal skins, either riding on horses or walking beside them, herding horses.

A few years ago, when Feitianmen was recruiting disciples, a barbarian tribe came to participate.

That tribe was quite skilled in animal husbandry, so Feitian Sect settled them in Taohuawu and provided fire centipede horses for the sect.

Later, Feitianmen had close contacts with the Manlong Tribe and exchanged some secret methods of taming beasts from them. These barbarian tribes then called themselves the Shepherd Tribe and raised precious horses for Feitianmen.

Over the years, with the support of sect resources, the number of fire centipedes raised by Feitian Sect has grown increasingly large, and now number more than a hundred.

The man in animal skins who was herding the horses whistled softly, and the horses immediately began to gallop forward with an imposing manner, like waves rolling up silver snow, riding the waves in the river and stirring up a cloud of foam.

Above this group of fire centipedes, Ye Yang actually saw three or four cloud-carrying horses with golden horns on their heads, white hooves, and shining golden patterns.

This Tuoyun horse is a rare and special horse of Feitianmen. He rode this horse when he first went out on a mission.

The Tuoyun Horse is so fast that even cultivators at the warrior level may not be able to catch up with it. However, it is difficult to breed, and Feitianmen has only had eighteen of them in the past hundred years.

This time, in order to crossbreed the Tuoyun Horse with the Fire Centipede Horse for the purpose of breeding offspring, the sect also released three or four Tuoyun Horses into Taohuawu, but the effect was minimal.

The Tuoyun horse looked down on the fire centipede colt and often bit, kicked and beat it. It was not uncommon to see fire centipede colts being trampled to death by the Tuoyun horse.

The tall, snow-white Tuoyun horse in the lead saw Ye Yang coming, twitched its nose, ran quickly beside him, and rubbed against Ye Yang's sleeves non-stop.

Ye Yang felt that this Cloud-carrying Horse looked very familiar, so he reached out and stroked the horse's back. The Cloud-carrying Horse immediately raised its head and let out a herodical cry, its hair relaxed, and it kept raising its hooves as if it was very comfortable.

This Tuoyun horse was the one he rode when he was on the mission at the beginning. Ye Yang took out a pill and fed it into the mouth of the Tuoyun horse.

As soon as the pill entered its mouth, the Tuoyun Horse cried out excitedly. When the remaining horses saw that there was something in the Tuoyun Horse's mouth, they all hurried over to grab the food.

Ye Yang ejected three or four pills, and the horses scrambled for the pills and flew away at low altitude.

Liu Qing smiled and flattered him, "Protector Ye is really kind-hearted. These horses are really lucky to meet Protector Ye. It is said that there are many good horses, but few good horse trainers. In my opinion, Protector Ye is the good horse trainer among humans."

This sentence was full of double meanings. Ye Yang did not answer, and Deacon Liu Qing got nothing in return.
He came close to Ye Yang and flattered him, "These are the early peaches produced in Taohuawu this year. Liu Qing picked some specially. Please ask Ye Hufa to taste them."

He used a silver tray and placed seven or eight fist-sized peach-red fruits on it, with some silver electric sparks on them.

Ye Yang was quite surprised. He took one out and took a bite. It tasted good, but a little sour.

At the same time, there was a slight numbness in the mouth. Ye Yang asked, "Why are there silver electric sparks on this peach?"

Liu Qing said, "It's all thanks to the Purple Lightning Silver Peach that Ye Protector brought from the Longevity Boundary. When the Great Elder came back, he broke off some branches for cuttings and grafting."

“But I never thought that it would survive last year and produce these strange early peaches.

But after he finished speaking, he sighed and said, "These peaches don't have the magical effects of the purple lightning silver peaches, but they taste quite special. It is speculated that it may take dozens or even hundreds of years for a benign mutation to occur."

Ye Yang said: "The Purple Lightning Silver Peach Tree is an ancient species. It has grown for who knows how many years, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, and has only undergone a slight change. This tree has just been transplanted and is a cutting. It is not bad that it can have such a miraculous effect."

When he said this, Ye Yang suddenly thought of something, and then asked, "Is the Great Elder still here?"

Hearing the three words "Grand Elder", Liu Qing sighed, and a trace of misery appeared on his wrinkled face: "Grand Elder is too miserable."

"When Dharma Protector Dugu was here, the Great Elder would often smile and walk around. But now that Dharma Protector Dugu has gone on a long journey, the Great Elder has locked himself in the room and refuses to see any visitors."

"A few days ago, I went to bring him food and found that he was already very old." "As a junior, I should pay my respects to him as a courtesy."

Ye Yang spoke, and Liu Qing quickly shook his head: "Protector Ye, the Great Elder has been in a life-and-death state in a cave alone, and has not appeared for half a year. The last time the Sect Leader came to visit, he also said he didn't see him."

Ye Yang sighed: "In that case, I won't bother you. This is some tea leaves that I made myself. It is very effective in neutralizing the chaotic qi in the body and replenishing the vital energy. When the great elder comes out, give it to me."

Liu Qing hurriedly accepted the gift.

"Also let Protector Ye know that my name is Liu Qing."

He shouted and waved his arms, but Ye Yang had already mounted the Sun Chaser Turtle and disappeared.

Liu Qing had just pointed Ye Yang in the direction of Tao'an Market. Ye Yang came all the way and heard the sound of tinkling and knocking before he got close.

He looked up and saw a tall city rising out of nowhere on a vast plain in front of him.

The golden and brilliant sunlight shone on the city wall, covering half of its glory, making the entire huge city wall look even more majestic and towering.

There are also many strong men nearby who are using spiritual fluid to water the foundation, or planting formation flags to regulate the earth's energy.

It looks like it's not finished yet, but many monks are coming in and out of the huge copper and gold-nailed gate, and a gathering area for goods exchange has been formed inside.

Ye Yang came in riding the Sun-Chasing Flying Turtle and saw quite a few people inside picking and choosing.

"The best Faling Pill can help the cultivators in the Tongqi realm break through the realm and conserve their energy."

"Yuan Yang mineral powder nourishes the kidneys and produces sperm. Let's take a look at the authentic Yuan Yang mineral powder produced by Fei Tian Men."

“A great riding horse for sale. Don’t miss this opportunity.”

……

Ye Yang took a rough look and found that most of these stalls were selling some simple spiritual materials.

He looked at quite a few, but none of them suited his taste, so he didn't buy anything.

When Tao'an Market was first built, Feitianmen and Fengyu Tower each sent a late-stage warrior monk to take charge of the mission.

The person sent by Feitianmen was Bai Zizhen. After receiving the help of the flesh and blood fetus given by Ye Yang, his lame leg has been completely healed.

After his body recovered, his clear energy rose and his turbid energy sank, and he broke through to the seventh level of warrior in one go.

Therefore, he was sent by Feitian Sect to guard the market town.

When I saw Bai Zizhen, he was yelling at a little kid in the store.

"I have said it many times before. We must send more people to this market. We cannot let those independent cultivators do whatever they want."

"It has only been a short time and three murders have already occurred. If the news gets out, who would dare to come to this market to trade?"

He was so angry that his spit hit the boy's hair. He scolded him angrily. The boy didn't dare to say anything and just stood aside.

After a long while, the boy said, "Elder, this is a strange thing. We have investigated many times but still haven't caught the murderer. Instead, another robbery has occurred. Is this the work of the Five Poison Sect's disciples?"

Bai Zizhen snorted coldly, slapped the table and said angrily: "No matter if it was the work of the Five Poison Sect or not, we must catch the murderer."

At this moment, Bai Zizhen seemed to sense something. He looked to the side and found Ye Yang's figure.

A hint of joy appeared on his angry face, and he waved his hand impatiently to let the boy go away.

The boy immediately stepped aside, and Ye Yang said, "What's wrong with Uncle Bai? Have you encountered any difficult problems recently?"

Bai Zizhen sighed secretly. Then he said, "Don't mention it. In the past few days, many independent cultivators have died unexpectedly, and we have not been able to find out who was responsible. By the way, why are you here?"

Ye Yang said, "Recently, a True Person Realm cultivator came to visit the sect. The Sect Master asked me to inspect the market. I wonder if there are any other arrangements."

After finishing speaking, Ye Yang recounted in detail the matter of the arrival of a powerful True Person Realm expert in the sect.

Bai Zizhen was also quite surprised: "These powerful people in the Realm of Immortals are usually hard to find, but now they have appeared in Feitianmen, which is also a happy event. You came just in time, I have something to discuss with you."

Hearing Bai Zizhen say this, Ye Yang couldn't help but be quite curious and asked, "Uncle Bai, please explain clearly."

Bai Zizhen coughed and a smile appeared in his eyes.
