Step by Step Ascend to Immortality

Chapter 97: Chapter 87 Ignition

The noonday sun in July is extremely merciless, often triggering the anxiety deep in everyone's heart. Today's sun is especially scorching. At a glance, there is not the slightest feeling of shade to be found, making every traveler outside frown.

Even the most powerful cultivators are mostly unwilling to travel far at this time. Instead, they prefer to enjoy the pleasures of immortals in their caves. However, this July is different. The immortal cultivation market near Tianji Prefecture has an astonishing prosperity completely different from previous years. People are coming and going. Even the seats by the window are all filled. People don't care at all that the sun is almost shining directly down, making their backs and hands soaked with sweat.

Several sweating servants not only have no gratitude for such good business but are even more dissatisfied with this scorching sun. "Damn it. What's going on this year? Why are people all coming here?"

Some servants know more about the situation. "Hurry up, hurry up and send up the dishes and wine. If it's delayed for too long, there will inevitably be a scolding and beating. You should know that they are all here for the Foundation Establishment Pills of the Pang family!"

"Foundation Establishment Pills?" Although these servants are doing miscellaneous tasks and most of them are mortals, they are very familiar with the ways of the cultivation world and even know more than some newly initiated cultivators. "Are they courting death? How dare they have ideas about the Pang family? Don't they know that the Pang family has two Foundation Establishment cultivators?"

"Bullshit Foundation Establishment cultivators!" Immediately, a guest with very sharp ears cursed beside them. "If there were really Foundation Establishment cultivators, I wouldn't come here. It's precisely because there is no Foundation Establishment cultivator sitting in the Pang family that I rushed over to see if I can get a Foundation Establishment Pill!"

"Is this true?" The cultivator at the opposite table has already asked about the truth of this matter. "How is this possible? A few years ago, the Pang family was said to be about to have three Foundation Establishment cultivators. How could there be not even one Foundation Establishment cultivator now?"

"I, Wang Dayang, have investigated this matter clearly. Now the Pang family indeed doesn't have even one Foundation Establishment cultivator!" This person is Wang Dayang whom Liu Suiyun has met several times in Jiazhou Market. Everyone calls him "Big King". "After Pang Tianming fell, only Pang Tianshan could barely hold the situation. And not long ago, Pang Tianshan, the only remaining Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Pang family, also fell on Luoxing Mountain..."

"This time, it's not just Pang Tianshan who fell on Luoxing Mountain. It's much more than that!" Another cultivator at his table has already started to argue. "It's that all the remaining capital of the Pang family was lost there. It is said that Pang Tianshan's brain was broken and he actually chased and killed Gu Yinghua, the disciple of Wujie Shenni of Lingjing Mountain. Hmph hmph... Wujie Shenni is a Nascent Soul cultivator. No matter how unpromising her disciple is, dealing with him, Pang Tianshan, is just a matter of one finger!"

The arguer continued, "This time, it is said that the Pang family lost several hundred people. It is said that all the cultivators in the late Qi Condensation stage were lost. As for ordinary experts, nine out of ten were lost. But it happens that it is said that there are eight Foundation Establishment Pills hidden in their family. Hmph hmph..."

Although they have heard the specific details several times, now when they hear the arguer confirm these details, the cultivators at these several tables are all in an uproar. That's eight Foundation Establishment Pills!

Immediately someone said, "With eight Foundation Establishment Pills but not even a cultivator in the late Qi Condensation stage, the Pang family is now a prime fat sheep. If heaven gives but one does not take, one will surely be punished..."

"Rob the rich to help the poor. We must rob the rich to help the poor!"

"You can take the Foundation Establishment Pills. I just hope to get a set of Foundation Establishment cultivation techniques from the Pang family!"

Everyone has their own goals, but their enthusiasm is the same. Otherwise, they wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles and braved the scorching sun in July to come here.

The Pang family has as many as eight Foundation Establishment Pills. I'm afraid there are countless other rare treasures, cultivation techniques, secret manuals, spiritual artifacts, and talisman treasures. As long as one can make a fortune in the chaos, one's path of cultivating immortality will be like a smooth road.

Of course, there are also some who don't believe it. He asked Wang Dayang opposite, "Brother Wang on the opposite side, is the news you got accurate? Has Pang Tianshan really fallen?"

Without Wang Dayang speaking, the arguer has already stood up to argue first. "Brother, don't you trust my character? I said that Pang Tianshan has fallen and that's for sure. There is absolutely no falsehood!"

He quickly gave many pieces of evidence. "On the seventh day of May this year, Pang Tianshan led five hundred elites of his family out of Tianji Prefecture. Then they chased all the way to Luoxing Mountain in Yunzhong Prefecture. And then there was no more news. But according to the disciples of the Yunzhong Tianma Gang who were traveling with them, they encountered hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators including Gu Yinghua in the mountain. After a fierce battle, they barely managed to draw with the enemy. Unexpectedly, at a critical moment, Pang Tianshan led his troops and ran away first..."

The arguer took a sip of cold tea and then continued to add, "As a result, the entire line collapsed. Pang Tianshan and five or six hundred elites were all lost. Almost no one survived. The situation of the dozen or so people who escaped temporarily was extremely serious. Presumably, you have also inquired about this."

With this said, everyone's hearts were relieved. Although they didn't know exactly what happened on Luoxing Mountain, everyone had repeatedly inquired about the situation of the defeated troops of the Pang family returning to Tianji Prefecture. It was indeed true.

Soon Big King gave a fatal blow. "Besides, you haven't seen the notices posted by the Pang family?"

"The Foundation Establishment Pill should be mine!"

"Such a fat sheep cannot be let go!"

"The Pang family is now in a precarious situation. It's a great opportunity for this young master to gain both people and wealth."

Some people even carefully took out the notices posted by the Pang family and took a look. Although they are different, the literal meanings are all the same. That is, the Pang family in Tianji has mountains of gold and silver and is waiting for everyone to come.

"Now there are sisters Pang Xixi in Tianji Prefecture. They are twenty years old, as beautiful as Xi Shi. They are proficient in both literature and martial arts. The men in the family have fallen one after another. There is no one to protect the family business. We are urgently recruiting young cultivators with the hope of establishing the foundation to practice dual cultivation together. There are still several Foundation Establishment Pills at home. Those interested please contact the Pang family in Tianji Prefecture."

"Foundation Establishment Pills are on sale at a big discount! Foundation Establishment Pills are on sale at a discount starting from 30% off! The Pang family is in decline. Foundation Establishment Pills are sold at a 30% discount!"

"Not one thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight, not nine hundred and ninety-eight, not three hundred and ninety-eight. Only one hundred and ninety-eight! For one hundred and ninety-eight, take home the Foundation Establishment cultivation technique!"

So all these advertisements come from the wild mountains and forests that cultivators visit most frequently. Because many cultivators have been deceived in the past, most people just smile and ignore them. But there are always a few cultivators who are tricked and want to try their luck. Then incredible news spreads.

After these extremely confused cultivators arrived in Tianji Prefecture, not only were they not turned away by the Pang family. After the Pang family provided good food and drink and then gave some gold, silver, and travel expenses. Although they denied everything said in the notice, they confirmed the precarious situation of the Pang family.

Next, bolder cultivators came to threaten the Pang family. Although they didn't get much, they still got some spirit stones and entry-level cultivation techniques from the Pang family. In this way, the fact that the Pang family wanted to cover up could no longer be covered up. In an instant, thousands of troops rushed towards Tianji and dealt many covert blows to the Pang family.

Despite the Pang family having a heritage of several hundred years, several generations of people cultivating immortality, and having disciples and old acquaintances all over the prefecture, with fields and mines everywhere, they still couldn't withstand such a series of blows. But what is more fatal than these countless small cultivators are several immortal cultivation families in Tianji Prefecture and several other prefectures.

These small cultivators just rob a few shops or caravans of the Pang family, or openly go to the door to ask for some cultivation techniques, spirit stones, and pills. They can always deal with it. But if those cultivator families make a move, then the Pang family will have no chance of survival.

However, the small cultivators present don't know this. They talk more and more enthusiastically with Big King and the arguer, and they become more and more involved, all thinking about preparing to make a fortune in Tianji Prefecture.

Although the cultivators at Big King and the arguer's table are only at the mid-stage of Qi Condensation, they occasionally reveal a heavyweight piece of news. For example, the pair of sisters in the Pang family really exist, giving the small cultivators many more fantasies.

They talked until the sun went down before everyone returned to their rooms, thinking about how to take this opportunity to deal more covert blows to the Pang family. Only everyone didn't expect that there was someone behind the arguer and them.

"Good! Good! Arguing with people is promising!" The arguer is now bragging in front of Liu Suiyun. "But I didn't expect that verbal battles could have such power. Verbal battles are invincible!"

He really didn't expect that tens of thousands of posters distributed by Wang Qinian, plus him and Big King playing good cop and bad cop, could have such power. There are probably hundreds of cultivators coming for the Pang family just in this market. He even saw the figure of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Considering the cultivators coming from other directions, the arguer suspected that at least several thousand cultivators and martial artists had poured into Tianji Prefecture to cause trouble for the Pang family. And Big King on the side also smiled and said, "This time, no matter how powerful the Pang family is, they will be defeated. There are so many powerful enemies! Should we also go and make a fortune!"

Liu Suiyun was very calm. "You are the ones who start the fire. You are not supposed to jump into the fire. If you really jump into the fire, the fire won't start either!"

Guo Huijun standing on the side added a sentence. "Be careful not to get burned. You have revealed so many heavyweight news. I'll also reveal a heavyweight one to you..."

In the past, when Liu Suiyun said that he had a wife at the Foundation Establishment stage, everyone was half-believing. But as soon as Guo Huijun appeared, everyone completely sympathized with Liu Suiyun.

It was true that Guo Huijun's martial power had reached an extraordinary level. With the 加持 of the Wuyue Spiritual Talisman, as soon as Guo Huijun made a move, she had the power of the three mountains and five peaks. When attacking, it was like Mount Tai pressing down. When defending, it was like an unshakable mountain. With such a strong wife, although Liu Suiyun cultivated both martial arts and immortality, his private savings were probably pitifully small.

The more people sympathized with Liu Suiyun, the more they revered Guo Huijun. "Madam Guo, tell us what kind of heavyweight news it is!"

Guo Huijun immediately told the news she had just obtained from Liu Suiyun. "Now the Pang family already has a Foundation Establishment cultivator sitting in their family!"

"It's better to just be responsible for starting the fire!" Wang Dayang was greatly shocked. "So as not to get burned. Madam Guo, where did this extra Foundation Establishment cultivator come from?"

Foundation Establishment cultivators are not like cabbages. They don't come by the dozens whenever you want. This extra Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Pang family is probably not so simple.
