Chapter 6: My natal fellow practitioner, murderous intent in the yellow sand!
Shang Ting explored his own innate attributes in this way, and soon more than ten days passed.

The moon is bright, the stars are sparse, and the night is as dark as ink.

The merchant caravan stopped at a village in the mountains.

The bonfire was burning fiercely, but it was still not as rosy as the face of Shang Yangde who was preaching.

This old man especially loves to preach and give lectures. Every time he preaches, he is so passionate that his face turns red.

The merchant sits beside the campfire.

Zhang Xiaopang beside him didn’t listen at all and was concentrating on roasting his own field mouse.

“My destiny is bestowed by heaven, and my fellow practitioners will accompany me on this journey. You must keep this in mind!”

Shang Yangde held a branch in his hand, waved it up and down, and said loudly:
“This sentence is widely circulated in the world of immortal cultivation. Its beauty lies in revealing the connection between [original destiny] and [comparison].”

Afterwards, as his face turned red and saliva flew, the immortals gradually understood his meaning.

The human spirit is born with the ability to detect existence.

However, its specific grade will not be fully developed until the age of twelve, and only then can it embark on the path to immortality.

As for one’s zodiac sign, one can only check it when one is fifteen years old.

This is why the immortal seedlings who take the entrance examination are generally fifteen or sixteen years old.

Before a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment Stage, he cannot directly sense his own destiny in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Therefore, the foundation-building monks of Yanyang Sect are needed to test the immortal seedlings.

After detecting the destiny, how should the Qigong practitioner practice with reference to the destiny?

This requires the help of [Tongcan] to refer to one’s own destiny.

There are two benefits.

Firstly, it can enhance the understanding of one’s destiny.

If Shang Jianfeng comprehends the [Demon-Slaying Sword], then over time, his sword-fighting realm will improve rapidly.

Even if he has never touched a sword for a whole day, he can crush all the swordsmanship masters in the world with just one move.

The upper limit of the realm contained in the destiny depends on its grade.

Shang Ting had only unearthed one or two percent of the Wood Dao realm of his immortal essence [Da Chun] until his death.

But for spiritual products, once a cultivator reaches the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage, the excavation is over and he can no longer comprehend anything.

As for ordinary items, the Qi training period has come to an end.

Secondly, it can awaken one’s innate magical powers.

If Shang Jianfeng continues to improve his swordsmanship, then after reaching a certain level, he will awaken his [Swordsmanship Talent].

It is possible to awaken a very important magical power for sword cultivators, such as [Sword Light Differentiation].

It is also possible that it is a useless and dispensable magical power like [Sword Shadow].

The quality of one’s innate magical powers is naturally also deeply affected by one’s innate grade.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Shang Ting awakened his ordinary life, and even if it was a middle-grade spiritual root, his future potential would be greatly reduced.

“Could it be that my original nature [Barren Land] is not the Way of Earth?”

Next to the campfire, Shang Ting was holding a dark red insect with a frown on his face.

This is the insect [earthworm] he just caught in the mountains.

He tried to refer to his destiny with this, but there was no response.

Beside him, Shangguan Li had a serious look on his face, listening attentively to the old man’s sermon.

On the stage, Shang Yangde was talking about fellow practitioners:
“The things you use together must have the same attributes as your own life force in order to be effective.”

“For example, if you practice with the [Demon Slaying Sword], you can sense your destiny. Because they all have sword attributes.”

“Similarly, if your natal star is a rat [Sharp-toothed Rat], holding a rat-like ginseng can also be effective… Zhang Xiaopang! What are you doing!”

Suddenly, Shang Yangde saw a scene of treason and shouted angrily.

Everyone looked sideways.

I saw Zhang Xiaopang on the left side of the stall, flipping the wooden stick in his hand with full concentration, drooling.

A field mouse was on a stick, roasting over the fire.

“Hahaha!”

“He actually roasted and ate the food of his fellow practitioners! Is this little fat guy stupid?”

“I was wondering why the more I talk about it, the more I smell the fragrance…”

Suddenly, everyone burst into laughter.

Zhang Xiaopang was stunned and said hurriedly:

“I just caught this field mouse and practiced with it, but it had no effect, so I just roasted it…”

Shang Yangde frowned and said, “That’s all.”

After that, he continued to preach with great interest, while Zhang Xiaopang continued to roast the field mice with great concentration.

When it was baked until golden brown and juicy, Zhang Xiaopang gave half to Shang Ting and a small half to Shangguan Li.

Shangguan Li took it without hesitation, and the three of them began to devour it.

“Hmm! Hmm…”

Zhang Xiaopang ate to his heart’s content, and suddenly whispered to Shang Ting:
“Brother Ting, I feel like the more I eat, the more I can sense my destiny! Now I can actually see it, a big rat!”

Shang Ting was stunned when he heard this. This boy was honest and never lied to him.

Combined with his enthusiasm for food, it could be that this rat is neither a monster nor a water creature.

But… a rare esophagus in the world! ?
Shang Ting was shocked.

The esophagus is the life, and perhaps its counterpart is eating. This kid’s instinctive gluttony really helped him find the right method!

“Bears! Those black bears are coming again!”

Suddenly, screams and cries were heard from the nearby village, accompanied by the roars and growls of wild beasts!
“Hmm?! Let’s go check it out.”

Shang Yangde stopped preaching immediately.

He led the merchant guards and a group of immortal seedlings, armed with swords, bows and crossbows, to the village to rescue people.

“Heroes! Heroes, help us! A group of wild bears suddenly came to our Zhaojia Village recently. There are more than a dozen of them. The villagers are in danger!”

On the way, I met an old man in plain clothes.

Seeing that the merchants were holding weapons, they thought they were knights wandering around the world.

He immediately fell to his knees, crying and shouting.

“Okay! Let’s go and get rid of this evil for the people!”

Shang Yangde lived up to his name and agreed without hesitation.

He led a group of nervous and excited immortal seedlings to charge forward and fight for justice.

A group of monks easily killed all the dozen black bears and their cubs.

“So it’s the Immortal Master, come, come, have some wine…”

The villagers gave a warm welcome and the merchants gladly accepted it.

After eating and drinking to our heart’s content, we returned to the camp feeling satisfied.

“Meeting a vicious bear on the road… This is a sign of something.”

Shang Ting narrowed his eyes slightly.

He minored in Qigong and never neglected any trivial matters in life.

Here, they suddenly encountered a group of vicious bears, and there was also a powerful Hu family in Huangyan Mountain.

“We are here in an open and aboveboard manner, under the guise of participating in the Yanyang Sect’s entrance examination.”

“Then will the Hu family doubt our request to purchase the Foundation Establishment Pill?”

Shang Ting associated the two.

Three years ago, Shang Jia contacted the alchemy elder of Yan Yang Sect through a secret line.

The reason why a motorcade was sent to participate in the assessment for three consecutive years was to conceal the real purpose of the trip.

The previous three times were all safe and sound. Did the Hu family really have no idea?

“not necessarily.”

Shang Ting shook his head slowly.

Here in Huangyan Mountain, the Hu family is very powerful and has two foundation-building monks.

Both the Yao family and the Shang family have only one person who has established the foundation, and the Shang family member has only a dozen years left to live.

Although the current head of the family, Shang Rucai, is only over 150 years old.

But he had been seriously injured before, which shortened his lifespan, and his actual lifespan was only over 170 years.

More than a decade ago, for some unknown reason, top-secret family information was leaked.

The Hu family then began to covetously seize the Shang family’s mineral resources repeatedly.

The merchants and the Yao family had to join forces to fight back.

“Even the top-secret information about the patriarch’s life span can be leaked, let alone the plan to purchase the foundation-building pill?”

Shang Ting carefully sorted out every detail, and the look in his eyes gradually deepened.

The important thing is, it is possible!
Now that the nearly 30-day journey is almost halfway through, after entering the Huangsha Valley, we will go straight to the Huangyan Mountains.

If the Hu family wanted to ambush them, they would definitely set an ambush in the Huangsha Valley that they had to pass through.

Moreover, it must be an assassination!

Even if the Hu family takes action, they will not engage in a head-on confrontation to avoid falling out with the Shang family and the Yao family.

Most likely they will disguise themselves as robbers and come to attack, even if they are exposed in the battle.

Just kill them all and cover up the traces.

“The skill of peeping at luck!”

Shang Ting was almost certain of his guess.

So he directly used the fortune-reading technique to observe his own fortune in order to verify his guess!

The image of Qiyun is reproduced.

The fields were still full of spring, without any change.

However, the black and stinking clouds above his head were now emitting a thick and evil black fog that attacked him!

Revealing extremely terrible results!

However, the old tree in the field, symbolizing the owner of the house, did not block the view.

It means that the head of the family doesn’t know about this yet!

“As expected, when we reach Huangsha Valley, there will definitely be murderous intentions from the Hu family!”

Shang Ting looked solemn, this was an expected result.

But, this either means there is a traitor in the family.

Either it means that there is someone from the Hu family in the Yanyang Sect who leaked the information.

Otherwise, why were there no accidents in the previous three times, but why was the ambush so accurate this time?
