ith a surrounding environment.""Please give us some time.""OK, I'll wait for your good news."Ripples took her phone and threw it into her bag, then left the police station.Shortly after, the project t...The awakened children, looking at the strangers, all began to whimper, because they were all young and couldn't remember what had happened.

Only a seven-year-old boy seemed to know something, but he didn't say anything and just looked at the official with tearful eyes.

Seeing this situation, the headmaster immediately had someone inform the families of the lost children to come and collect them. He then politely settled Ripple's task reward and invited her to be a guest at the City Lord's Mansion, but Ripple declined.

The news of this event rippled back to the sect headquarters immediately, causing Wu Yun Sect to take the matter of missing children from their territory seriously. After all, the demonic cultivators had changed their tactics, and they needed to be prepared.

After Qiao Qian Shan saw the message jade slip, he summoned Elder Xiao and Elder Shang to discuss strengthening the patrol of the sect's territory.

Although we go to our territory to recruit disciples every decade, the fixed time also gives these evildoers an opportunity.

I think that besides the once-a-decade fixed disciple recruitment meeting, if disciples who go out to practice daily encounter promising candidates, they can also bring them back to the sect. This way, we can avoid oversights during our own disciple recruitment process and prevent evil cultivators from getting there first.

"Thinking of those five single-spirit root children, my heart aches!"

Qiao Qianshan is truly heartbroken. Such excellent talent was ruined by those demonic cultivators.

"The Sect Master makes sense. Dealing with the returning demonic cultivators is not something our sect can handle alone. It's best to also inform the three major sects, as their territories are the easiest targets for demonic cultivators."

The elder stroked his hair and said.

After all, there are many cultivator families affiliated with large sects. Their children tend to have better aptitudes.

"The elder Shang is right, we need to inform not only the three major sects but also the Scattered Cultivators Alliance. You see, ten years ago in the Yuntian Secret Realm, the demonic cultivators infiltrated under the guise of scattered cultivators."

Elder Xiao also agreed.

A month after the ripples left Guihua City, news spread that demon cultivators were stealing children with spiritual roots to cultivate them.

But the ripples now stood face to face with five cultivators who blocked her path. This time, she didn't rush to attack, but instead sized up the five people from head to toe, carefully considering her words before speaking:

"Five Dao friends, how could you become so ugly Did you practice some strange cultivation method"

The five people opposite heard Lian Yi's words, and their already ugly faces became even uglier. The only one who looked relatively decent among them, a male cultivator with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, said:

"Fellow cultivator, we mean you no harm. We only wish to trade some pills and spirit stones with you."

There's a city right ahead. You can just go buy supplies there. Why are you stopping me from trading

"Do you think we don't want to Those monks look down on us, they wouldn't even let us into the city. If it weren't for my brother being badly injured, we wouldn't be stopping people here."

This person talking has a square face, squinting eyes, an upturned nose, and sausage lips. Looking at him makes you want to wash your eyes. After experiencing so many different worlds, I've never seen such an ugly person.

"But I don't want to trade with you either."

Although she didn't say it out loud, her expression gave everything away.

The male cultivator opposite, who looked like a monkey, had his eyes widen and stared at the ripples.

"If fellow Daoist is unwilling, then please forgive our rudeness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a meteor hammer appeared in his hand. It was clearly ready to fight.

The ripples did not make a move immediately, besides the fact that the five people opposite were horrifyingly ugly. The reason was also because the strength of the five people was not bad. The one who spoke first had cultivation at the Yuanying stage, the remaining three were in the late Jindan stage, and the last one was in the middle Jindan stage.

With this cultivation base, he is more powerful than most small sects. How could he end up robbing people here

The ripples were helpless, and the whirlwind couldn't wait any longer. It leaped out of the ripples' embrace and landed on the ground, transforming into a fourth-order black tiger. It bared its sharp claws and teeth, glaring at the male cultivator wielding the meteor hammer and roared.

The expressions of the five people across from him changed. They had wanted to intercept a lone cultivator to exchange resources, but they didn't expect that he had a fourth-order spirit beast, which was equivalent to the strength of a human cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage.

Looking at the female cultivator across from them, although she wore a casual Daoist robe, her aura was restrained and concealed. It seemed they had stumbled onto a tough nut to crack this time. The spirit beasts were all fourth-order, so their master's strength couldn't be weak either.

The atmosphere grew tense for a moment, just as things were about to erupt, a cough suddenly came from behind a large tree. Then, a white-robed monk slowly walked out.

Seeing the white-robed male cultivator walking this way, Lian Ri's eyes lit up. The other party seemed to have a broken feeling because of their injury, with a gentle and pleasant face, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

Actually, the other person's appearance is just that of an ordinary male cultivator in the cultivation world. But because he was standing with those five ugly men, the comparison made his handsomeness even more prominent.

"Fellow cultivator, my five older brothers were out of line. They are not villains and never intended to rob you. It's just that I was seriously injured and my cultivation plummeted. They wouldn't let me go into town alone, so they wanted to exchange some healing medicine with someone here. Please forgive them."

The man in white bowed and apologized.

Ripple took two steps forward, patted the whirlwind's head, and said with a smile:

What elixir would you like to exchange for

"The Soul Condensing Pill, ideally a third-rank one."

The squinting man immediately said.

"You wounded my soul."

The ripples addressed the man in white, and spoke in a declarative tone.

"Yes, at the next moment, I wouldn't have been able to escape the clutches of my pursuers. If it weren't for my five brothers' timely intervention, I'd probably be a ghost now."

The white-robed cultivator chuckled wryly.

Ripples caught a whiff of something with a story to tell.

Then what do you use to exchange

"Purple gold sand."

"It's really a good thing, how many do you have Is enough to upgrade my signature sword"

Ripple questions are direct.

"It should be enough. I was stabbed in the back for this pot of purple gold sand."

The man with the monkey face said indignantly.

Although the Purple Gold Sand wasn't stolen, it's unfortunately no longer safe to keep. For their younger brother, they are willing to exchange anything for the medicinal pills.

Deal!

With a ripple on her own storage bracelet, she took out a pill.

Seeing that the ripples were so happy, the man with squinted eyes immediately pulled out a transparent bottle from his waist. Inside was purple gold sand.

Both parties simultaneously pushed the object towards each other, then reached out together to take it. After a mental scan confirmed there were no issues, the pill bottle was stuffed into the white-robed man's hand.

"Little Six, take your medicine first. We'll protect you."

"Yes, your injury can't be delayed."

"Xiao Liu, listen to your big brother."

Five people chattered incessantly, then surrounded the man in white and set up a barrier formation to protect their younger brother as he began his practice.

The ripples were very interested in these six people, so they did not leave. Instead, they set up a barrier at a distance and began to cultivate, preparing to find them tomorrow to solve their doubts.

"Master, they are all poisoned."

Dodo suddenly transmitted a voice message.

"Poisoned I didn't notice. Besides being ugly, they are quite skilled!"

"That's because they were poisoned, that's why they look so ugly."lar Alliance was formed, battles between star systems were constant and fierce, almost resulting in irreversible consequences.They were almost wiped out, and the big shots of each star system could on...
