After He Xiuxing finished answering his question, Xu Lin, Zhang Shao, and the others looked at each other and stood up.

“Senior, if you teach me the secret technique to break through to the Primordial Liquid Realm, I'm afraid I'll offend those big merchants.”

“Please be extremely careful. They are powerful and ruthless in their ways.”

He Xiuxing smiled and said, “It's alright. I only opened a training hall here to teach you the secret techniques to break through to the Primordial Liquid Realm when I saw that itinerant cultivators usually have no way to learn it.”

However, he did not directly answer the threats of those big merchants.

Zhang Shao could only say, “Since senior does not care about it, why don't you ask the fellow Daoists who are listening to the Dao here not for the reason of publicising it?”

Xu Lin said, “Right. If that's the case, the big merchants might not know about it after senior finishes speaking.”

There was a little selfishness in this.

“There's no need. Those who can come and listen to the Dao are all fated to.”

He Xiuxing rejected his suggestion and returned to the bamboo hut with a smile.

Seeing that He Xiuxing was quite confident, these cultivators finally let go of some of their worries.

… Jing An City.

In the backyard of the Jing An branch of the Six Zhuo trading company, the head shopkeeper was fuming.

“What's going on?! In the past six months, the Dao books and jade slips have been selling less and less.”

“This month, don't even mention the cultivation techniques before reaching the Pulse Realm. Even the cultivation techniques of the Pulse Realm and the Primordial Liquid Realm have not been sold!”

The head shopkeeper threw the account book on the table.

The shopkeepers and deacons looked at each other for a long time before a deacon, Chen, stood up.

He answered awkwardly, “Head shopkeeper, you just came back from the main store, so you don't know anything.”

“In the past half of the year, there has been a Primordial Liquid Realm cultivator who opened a Daoist rite temple on Plum Creek Mountain in Purple Immortal City and openly taught us his Daoist techniques.”

“Now that he has talked about the cultivation of the Primordial Liquid Realm, those cultivators have heard it for free, so why would they spend spirit stones to buy our cultivation techniques?”

The news of He Xiuxing opening a Daoist rite temple had gradually spread throughout the vicinity of Purple Immortal City, and many cultivators rushed to Purple Immortal City, travel-worn.

The head shopkeeper's face immediately turned dark, and terrifyingly livid.

He took a few steps before saying, “There's actually such a person. There's actually someone who would do such a thing to harm others even though it does not benefit himself.”

“Hmph, it's just a Primordial Liquid Realm cultivator. Even if he's a grandmaster of the Divine Sea Realm, our Six Zhuo trading company can make him suffer.”

“I'll immediately inform the head shop and invite an elder of the Divine Sea Realm to come over. Capture that cultivator and kill him in public at the entrance of the shop!”

“Intimidate the others so that they won't think that our Six Zhuo trading company is easy to bully.”

At the same time, the other trading companies made similar decisions.

Some invited an elder of the Divine Sea Realm, while others sent several cultivators of the Primordial Liquid Realm.

… On the top of Plum Creek Mountain, He Xiuxing finished his sermon and was about to get up and go back to the bamboo hut.

At this moment, more than ten streaks of light came from the sky with an aggressive aura, which held the gazes of Xu Lin, Zhang Shao, and the others. They froze.

There were the auras of two Divine Sea Realm grandmasters among them.

The others felt that they were also in the Primordial Liquid Realm.

The more than ten beams of light stopped in midair and revealed themselves.

A Divine Sea Realm grandmaster with an extraordinary appearance, whose Daoist robe was fluttering in the wind, had a dark expression on his face.

He said to He Xiuxing, “The cultivator below, you are secretly imparting Daoist techniques here, which makes it difficult for us to sell the cultivation techniques of our trading company. The loss is quite great

“Today, I have specially come to capture you and punish you openly to intimidate the future generations.”

They did not care that the cultivation world had never prohibited others from publicly preaching.

In any case, cutting off one's source of income was like killing one's parents. One had to take revenge.

Another grandmaster of Divine Sea Realm with a long black beard looked around at all the cultivators present.

“You people should not be let off lightly either. Kill all those who have come to listen, and erase the memories of those who have followed.”

The tens of thousands of cultivators who came to listen were alarmed and furious.

However, it was difficult for them to have any thoughts of resisting in the face of the grandmaster of the Divine Sea Realm, and they froze on the spot for a moment.

Seeing that he had scared these cultivators, the grandmaster of the Divine Sea Realm laughed loudly.

He raised his hand, and a huge fireball appeared in his hand, shooting toward He Xiuxing.

The other grandmaster of the Divine Sea Realm and Primordial Liquid Realm cultivators also used their own methods.

Spirit tools, Daoist techniques, spells, and divine abilities all were used to attack He Xiuxing.

He Xiuxing flung his sleeves, and all the attacks were flung back.

Boom!

Several sounds of impact rang out, and many cultivators of the Pulse Realm were struck to the ground.

He Xiuxing could not even be bothered to use an axe against these people.

He sat on a rock and clapped his palm with his other hand.

Although they were very far away, the air was moved by his palms, and it charged fiercely toward the cultivators on the opposite side.

The bodies of several Divine Sea Realm grandmasters were pierced through, and their corpses fell to the ground audibly.

He Xiuxing was not merciful when it came to the people who wanted to kill him.

“He is greedy for money. Killing people rashly is the way of mortals. It is also the way of mortals to return the favor.”

With this thought in his mind, he turned around and walked back to the bamboo hut without even looking at the two corpses.

The tens of thousands of cultivators were completely silent.

They did not expect that the Divine Sea Realm grandmaster and the Primordial Liquid Realm cultivators, who came so aggressively, would die in the blink of an eye.

This really exceeded their expectations.

“It seems that senior is a Divine Sea Realm grandmaster,”Zhang Shao said with a sigh.

Xu Lin added, “He must have been a Divine Sea Realm grandmaster for a few years. Otherwise, he would not have killed two cultivators of the same realm so easily.”

The other cultivators nodded one after another, but they did not think about a higher realm at all.

“Their storage bags.” A cultivator looked at the storage bags of the Divine Sea Realm grandmaster with green light in his eyes.

Zhang Shao was also drooling, but he had some misgivings. “Are you senior?”

Now, no one dared to move.

Although the Divine Sea Realm grandmaster's relics were good, his family's life was more precious.

Besides, not many people could open grandmaster of the Divine Sea Realm's storage bags.

Seeing that these cultivators were still somewhat rational, He Xiuxing could be considered to have pa.s.sed a test.

Therefore, he transmitted his voice from the bamboo hut.

“Put the spiritual artifacts and heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the storage bags in front of my door. You can take the rest at your own discretion.”

After He Xiuxing finished saying that, the two storage bags jumped suddenly and opened automatically.

The storage pouches of the Primordial Liquid Realm cultivators also flew out of the tree house.

Intimidated by He Xiuxing's strength, these cultivators recommended a few highly respected Pulse Realm cultivators to pick out two spirit tools and put them at He Xiuxing's door.

The rest of the items were taken according to their cultivation level.

Although some cultivators were dissatisfied, the majority of them were satisfied.

“I thought they would have other thoughts because of these treasures.”

“Therefore, they did it because they were afraid of my strength.”

“They are afraid of the strong. It doesn't matter if they are mortals or immortal cultivators.”

“As expected, cultivators are mortals who are powerful and have a clearer understanding of the world.”

A faint halo appeared on He Xiuxing's body.

Cracks appeared in the surrounding s.p.a.ce.

This was the unique characteristic of cultivators who had broken through to the next realm.

As someone who cultivated the mortal path, He Xiuxing had never experienced such a strange phenomenon.

“I'm also a mortal and a cultivator. I'm ordinary, but I can chop the sky with an axe.”

With these insights, He Xiuxing's body…
