Chapter 314 The Benefits of Joining the Loose Cultivator Alliance
On the outskirts of the Monster Forest, Ma Xiu Lian, who was at the eighth level of Qi training, had just captured a second-level hedgehog. When she turned around, she found that a male cultivator at the ninth level of Qi training and a male cultivator at the peak of the eighth level of Qi training were coming towards her from both sides.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. It was over. She had encountered another robbery cultivator.
Seeing that the two men were about to attack her, Ma Xiu Lian gritted her teeth, turned around and ran deep into the Monster Forest.
Even if you go deeper, you may easily encounter third-level monsters or even fourth-level monsters, but it is better than dying now.
How could the two robbery cultivators let go of a lone cultivator who was only at the early eighth level of Qi training, so they chased him relentlessly.
Ma Xiu Lian took a high-level light body talisman and just ran forward.
Ever since she teamed up with others for hunting a few years ago and was betrayed by her teammates and almost died in the mouth of a monster, she never dared to team up with others easily again.
In order to maintain her daily practice, she could only be cautious and solitary, relying on hunting some first- and second-level monsters and looking for some spiritual herbs to make a living.
This wasn't the first time she'd encountered a robbery cultivator. It was just that in the past, whenever she noticed someone approaching, she'd turn and run. Many times, she'd relied on high-level lightness talismans to run for her life and shake off the enemy.
It’s just that I was unlucky today and I didn’t notice it until the robbery cultivators were close.
The road to Crescent City was blocked, so she had no choice but to run inside.
But her luck today was obviously extremely bad. As soon as she ran out of a dense forest, there was a cliff in front of her.
Looking down, there was fog swirling below the hundred-foot-deep cliff. I couldn't tell whether it was miasma or just wet fog.
Because of this delay, the two people behind had caught up.
Ma Xiu Lian gritted her teeth and jumped down.
Two robbery cultivators rushed over and saw her fall into the mist below. They hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not jump in with her.
Thanks to the lightening talisman on her body and the help of the entanglement technique, Ma Xiu Lian did not get injured in the fall.
The fog below was indeed miasma, and breathing it in made people feel dizzy and dizzy. Ma Xiulian hurriedly swallowed a detoxification pill, then held her breath and ran forward.
She ran all the way to an area where the miasma was thinner, and then she began to breathe deeply.
Only after she made a big circle, escaped the pursuit of several third-level monsters, and ran out of the monster forest did she feel a little relieved.
She ran until she could see the walls of Crescent City in the distance. From time to time, monks flew by beside her and above her head. Only then did she climb up a big tree to rest exhausted.
She didn't have the strength to walk back just this short distance, so she needed to catch her breath first.
Ma Xiu Lian, who had been resting on a big tree for a while, was about to get down and rush back to the city when she suddenly found two male cultivators coming towards her.
Even though she knew that the robbers would not dare to rob and kill near Crescent City, she still lay on the tree and dared not move, trying her best to restrain her spiritual energy.
At this time, two people came over and talked as they walked.
One of them asked, "Do you want to join the Loose Cultivator Alliance?"
Another person said, "Even though they've talked a lot about the benefits of joining, I still think the registration fee of 500 spirit stones is too expensive. What if this group is actually using the registration fee to make money?"
The person who had spoken earlier said, "I don't think it's possible. How could a Nascent Soul cultivator be interested in such a small amount of spirit stones?"
His companion nodded and said, "If the leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance wasn't a Nascent Soul cultivator, I would be even more suspicious. How about this, after we return, we'll go to the main street and see if there are many lone cultivators who have joined the alliance."
The two of them walked away talking, and Ma Xiu Lian slowly climbed down the tree.
She cast another lightness talisman on herself and thought about the conversation she had just heard as she walked.
In the past few years, she has been a loner and has few friends. She didn't even know that there was an alliance of loose cultivators in the city. She would go over and take a look later.
Out of curiosity, the exhausted Ma Xiu Lian did not return to her stone house after entering the city, but walked to the main street.
After she saw the billboard placed at the gate by the alliance headquarters and discovered that the benefits listed on it included helping alliance members who were robbed to capture the robbers, she immediately walked in.
At the outermost table in the headquarters lobby with a small wooden sign indicating the information desk, several stragglers were asking questions.
There were also several people queuing up to register at the other two registration tables.
Seeing that the inquiring cultivators seemed to have no more questions to ask, Ma Xiu Lian hurried over and asked, "If we join the alliance and are robbed by robber cultivators in the Monster Forest outside the city, how will the alliance help us capture them?"
The Qi Cultivator who was in charge of the explanation replied, "Any member of the alliance who manages to escape a robbery should come to headquarters, explain the situation, and record the appearance of the robber. We will then send a Foundation Establishment Steward to find the perpetrator and bring him to justice."
Ma Xiu Lian immediately said, "Okay, I'll sign up to join the Loose Cultivator Alliance now, and then report the crime. I was just robbed by a robber, and I want to record the faces of those two people."
"Ah? Well, uh, this happened before you even joined the alliance. I don't know if the stewards would approve of it. Wait, I'll go in and ask."
The young manager of the Loose Cultivator Alliance immediately ran into the backyard.
In the backyard, Xiao Han handed over another thousand jade emblem plaques sent by Li Moyun to the steward Tian who was on duty today.
The two were chatting when the young steward in charge of the information desk came in and told them about Ma Xiu Lian's problem.
Tian Daguanshi immediately looked at Xiao Han. Xiao Han pondered for a moment and said, "I think it can be accepted. These robber cultivators are originally bad apples. The sooner they are eliminated, the better. It will also be a good opportunity to show those casual cultivators who are waiting and watching that the benefits we have listed are all real."
Manager Tian said, "Should we discuss this matter with the two Jindan elders?"
Xiao Han shook his head. "It's okay. They won't object."
She wanted to say that this was simply a case of "buying horse bones for a fortune" delivered to her door, but thinking that these people probably didn't understand the allusion, she stopped herself.
With Xiao Han, the chief steward, making the final decision, Manager Tian no longer had any objections and ordered the junior steward to go out and do as they said.
Xiao Han and Manager Tian also came out later and saw the young manager spitting and speaking passionately to everyone in the room about their determination and attitude to fight against the robbers.
As long as you are a member of the alliance, you will have the opportunity to seek revenge if you are robbed by a robber.
Xiao Han was very satisfied. This young man had a promising future and was a good candidate for publicity.
Then she saw Ma Xiu Lian in the house and was stunned.
Oh my god! Isn't this the lucky female cultivator who picked up the storage bag I hid in Croton's lair?
