Chapter 8

After a night’s practice, Luo Feng finally grasped the basics of the Sutra of Immortality, but his chances of surviving an attack from saints were still slim.

The sun reflected off Ziwei Mountain and fell onto the Ancient Land Convenience Store with an air of nobility. As opposed to its usual shoddy appearance, the store seemed to have a facade of gold.

Creak – creak!

Those waiting around were able to hear the wooden door of the Ancient Land Convenience Store opening as if it were an element of nature.

They shot out of hiding in an instant, stirring the heavens.

“I declare now that whoever steals this opportunity from me will be my nemesis until he dies!”

“The Elder said yesterday that the three chances are reserved for the destined. I will try to earn my spot even if I have to fight to the death.”

“Well, stop arguing. Yang Jian must have brought the news back to Kunlun mountain. There will be a large group of people coming later. Let’s seize this opportunity and try our luck!”

With the last opinion, all those present became silent. They knew that Yang Jian would certainly spread the news. At that time, not only Heavenly Immortals, but even Daluo Golden Immortals would descend. It would get even more difficult for them to clear karmic fire from their weapons.

Luo Feng stretched and glanced at the crowd who wanted to step up but didn’t dare to do so. He let out a light laugh. “It’s dawn. Time for me to fulfill my promise.”

Whew!

A few of the Heavenly Immortals with the highest cultivation instantly appeared in front of Luo Feng with their life-bound magic treasures held out in front of them.

These were life-bound magic treasures!

As the name indicated, they were magic treasures bound to the user’s life. If the magic treasure got damaged, the owner of the magic weapon would feel the repercussions. If it were before, they would never hand these over. But times had changed. Considering Luo Feng’s ability to clear karmic fire, he would definitely not steal these magic treasures.

Luo Feng pretended to look at the strange magic treasures in front of him, but he muttered to himself that the larger the magic weapon, the more laundry powder he would need. As a profiteer, Luo Feng naturally had to reduce “costs”.

After choosing for a while, Luo Feng finally settled on three that were about the size of a palm. But just then, a loud roar sounded in the sky. “Elder, please wait!”

Yang Jian returned to Kunlun Mountain, told his martial brothers that Luo Feng could remove karmic fire, and rushed back to Ziwei Mountain. But on the way, he heard that Luo Feng would only do it three times a day. This made him very anxious. Considering that every one of his brothers were entangled in karmic fire, how could he hand over this rare opportunity to others. So, he urged everyone to come to Ziwei mountain with him and happened upon this scene.

The three selected creatures turned around and were startled to find that Yang Jian had come with a large number of people. They quickly turned to Luo Feng and begged, “Elder, please remove the karma on our magic weapon!”

However, Luo Feng put the magic weapon back and said with a smile, “Yang Jian, why did you stop me from washing away the karma on these magic treasures for them?”

After Yang Jian landed on the ground, he bowed and responded, “Elder, these demons abuse innocent people. If you help them clean their weapons, it will damage your reputation!”

“Yang Jian, how can you say that we kill innocent people indiscriminately when countless demons have died in your hands?” A gloomy voice sounded from the sky.

A skinny old man in a black robe appeared in front of Luo Feng. The skinny old man saluted Luo Feng and said in a cold voice, “Didn’t the Elder claim yesterday that he would only give three opportunities to remove karmic fire each day? You’re just afraid that your martial brothers won’t have that blessing, so you’re pouring dirty water on these three.”

“Ancestor Heijiao, it’s useless to say more. We will settle this with force.” With a flash of white light, a three pointed halberd appeared in Yang Jian’s hand.

Yang Jian had made up his mind to grab all the three places this time. He knew better than anyone that this news had not spread yet, and now it was just the younger generation competing for the three spots. However, when the matter spreads, even his teacher, Immortal Yuding, would come. Younger generations would have to play in the mud when the true experts arrive.

“Since the second brother wants to fight, Nezha will aid you to the end.”

“Little sister will do her best to help as well.”

Just then, Luo Feng found that Yang Jian was followed by a six-year-old child and a young woman.

Needless to ask, they must be Yang Jian’s good brother Nezha and his sister Yang Chan.

“No matter what, this Ancestor Heijiao has existed since prehistoric times. Do you think I’m afraid of you kids?”

Seeing that there was going to be a fight, Luo Feng let out a light hum. Both sides immediately put down their weapons and looked at him nervously.

As the owner of the convenience store, Luo Feng was certainly happy to see people competing for his goods. But he didn’t want to see weapons at his door, so he came up with the perfect plan.

Luo Feng pretended to be a wise elder and said, “I have come here in peace and don’t want to disturb the beauty of Ziwei Mountain. Doesn’t it seem inappropriate for you guys to fight here?”

Seeing that Yang Jian was hesitating on how to respond, Luo Feng waved his hand and said, “Since I have made the commitment of giving three opportunities a day, I will not change my mind for anyone. The current situation places me in a bit of a difficult situation… How about this, we will have an auction. As long as someone bids the most merit, I will give the opportunity to him.”

After saying this, Luo Feng secretly looked at Yang Jian and found that they were in deep thought. He was ecstatic. Who could have expected that I would think of this method. It’s just so clever.

Luo Feng’s words had another meaning in Yang Jian and the others’ ears. An “expert” like Luo Feng naturally wouldn’t care much about the merit. The reason why he came up with the auction method must be that he didn’t want there to be conflict.

Yes! That must be it.

Yang Jian nodded at Nezha and said, “I agree with what Elder said. If anyone dares to spill blood on Ziwei Mountain, I, Yang Jian, will kill him even if he runs to the end of the world!”

“You little shit! You really know how to suck up to the Elder!” scolded Hejiao angrily to himself. But he quickly followed Yang Jian’s example and said, “Yes, if anyone dares to splash blood on Ziwei mountain, I will kill him as well!”
