Chapter 72 Illusion
Feng Ji was stunned, and the people around him who were talking before also fell silent. The young man who brought him here was also stunned, and slowly squeezed back: "This... I brought this person here, but I didn't ask anything, and I didn't beat or scold him..."

Having said this, he squeezed behind the crowd.

Feng Ji then coughed and said, "Are you really a disciple of Ranshan? What's your name?"

"I used to be..." The boy glanced at them again, "My name is Zhao Fang."

Feng Ji hesitated for a moment, then untied the rope that bound him: "Excuse me, can I take your pulse?"

The young man slowly handed his hand to him. Feng Ji stretched out two fingers and placed them on it, then examined it for a while, frowned slightly, and looked at the people behind him.

After the men made eye contact with him, they came over as well, said "excuse me" to the young man before putting their hands on him.

After checking everything silently and exchanging glances with Feng Ji, Feng Ji stood up and pulled Zhao Fang up with him.

"Well... let me ask you, how long have you been in Ranshan?" Feng Ji frowned and thought for a while, "The martial arts of your Ranshan is called that... Huai Lu Bao Xia Chapter, right? I heard that the true energy of Huai Lu Bao Xia Chapter is ever-changing, and it flows like a mountain stream. Although it is not turbulent, it is long and continuous. But this little brother..."

Because they became polite, Zhao Fang looked less scared, but his voice was still timid: "I have not been in the sect for long. My martial arts were all taught by my senior brothers. I am not very good at it... I have only practiced for six or seven years before I established my foundation..."

"It took six or seven years to build a foundation..." Someone in the crowd couldn't help but mutter, "Isn't this almost the same as us?"

"Bullshit, that's the Ranshan technique, is it the same thing?"

"Stop making noise!" Feng Ji shouted, and then thought for a moment, "Brother Zhao Fang, can you tell me... everyone about your chapter of Embracing Dew and Clouds? This is what happened. We were gathered here by Xu Xian's people, who said that there were treasures on your mountain. We didn't intend to come here."

"As for Xu Xianren, we cannot afford to offend him, but we also do not want to offend the Thirty-Six Sects. We came here because we saw that your Ranshan Sect had disbanded. We want to make sure that you are really a disciple of Ranshan Sect. We will not make it difficult for you. When we find the treasure of your Ranshan Sect--"

"Does it include a share for me?" Zhao Fang asked with eyes wide open, "Just because I told you about the chapter of Huai Lu Bao Xia, can I get a share?"

Feng Ji was stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, the people around him shouted, "Yes, of course! You will definitely get a share!"

Feng Ji raised his hand again, and the people around him shut up: "Little brother, let me ask you one more question, what did you do after you came down the mountain?"

Zhao Fang scratched his head: "I just... did some temporary work in Deyang City..." Li Wuxiang stood outside the crowd, listening carefully to what he said and what Feng Ji asked.

It should be three or four years after Zhao Kui left that some of Ranshan's disciples left the mountain. According to what Zhao Fang heard from his senior brothers, Zhao Kui did not treat his disciples very well. He rarely taught or instructed those he did not like, and only used them as laborers for the mountain gate, beating or scolding them. As for those he liked, such as "Senior Brother Zhao Qi", he cared for them and taught them his unique skills in private.

Ranshan Sect used to have properties in nearby Deyang City, but Zhao Kui had sold all those properties before he left, and took away the sect's money and treasures. During the many years that Zhao Kui was the sect leader, he only practiced cultivation to seek immortality and did not care about worldly affairs. However, unlike the sect leaders of other sects, he did not expect his disciples to find other ways to honor him, and strictly prohibited his disciples from leaving the mountain without permission, and was not happy to see them have more contact with outsiders.

Therefore, after he left, the brave ones ran away after three or four years, and the timid ones also ran away after ten years. This Zhao Fang had never seen Zhao Kui before. He was picked up by a senior sister on the road. Three years ago, the senior sister took him with her when she went down the mountain. The two of them first worked in a temple in Deyang City, performing rituals to exorcise evil spirits.

Later, the senior sister met a man and wanted to go far away with him, so she left him in Deyang and told him not to tell anyone that he was a disciple of Ranshan before he had achieved success in his practice, so as to prevent anyone from having bad intentions towards him.

Zhao Fang had mediocre talent, and he found it extremely difficult to practice the Huai Lu Bao Xia chapter. Later on, he got too lazy to work hard. A few days ago, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and decided to sell Ran Shan's skills for a good price so that he could live a good life.

He asked around for buyers to find a way, and thought he was doing it very secretly, but in the end, Xu Xian found out.

"...I fainted, and when I woke up I was in his yard." Zhao Fang said these words, and gradually became bolder. "Then I can't just tell you my secret method for nothing, right? You should bring money to buy it. Once you share the treasure with me, I will sell it to you."

Lao Guo sighed behind Li Wuxiang: "You say he has a bad fate, right? There are so many small bones on the roadside every day, and he is picked up by the people of Ranshan. You say he has a good fate. If I were him, I would go to another sect after leaving the mountain. Unfortunately, his aptitude is too poor, and he will definitely not be able to endure the hardship of practicing. He knows that others will not accept him. Alas, why didn't you pick me up back then? What a fate..."

After hearing what he said, Feng Ji seemed relieved: "If you say so, then you are like an outer sect disciple, right? That's not bad. Your sect leader is indeed not honest, but we are honest. Okay, let's do as you say. No matter whether the treasure is found or not, we can talk about your technique after the matter is done."

"As for this treasure..." He thought for a moment, "Xu Xianren might have been delayed by something, or he might not want to show up, or maybe...Xu Xianren is among us."

When he said this, people couldn't help but look at each other in surprise. Feng Ji cupped his hand and said, "Whether you are here or not, I'm going to make this clear. We all know that you may want something, but you don't want to show yourself. Brothers are all worthless. You have also sent us clues. If we really find some treasure, and that thing is exactly what you want, then we can discuss it. None of us wants to take food from you. As long as we make a little money, we will be satisfied, right?"

The crowd echoed. Feng Ji put his hand down and looked at Zhao Fang: "Little brother, now tell me, where is your fantasy world in Ranshan? How do we get there?"

"Ah? I don't know?" Zhao Fang opened his eyes blankly. "I heard from my senior brothers and sisters that when the sect master was still around, he sometimes took senior brother Zhao Qi into the illusion, and sometimes he took one or two other senior brothers and sisters in. My senior sister Xi has never been in..."

Feng Ji was stunned for a moment, then suddenly frowned: "Are you treating our brothers like fools? How do you know they are all treasures before you go in?"
