Moonfall City, west side.

In the courtyard of a house.

Shi Chensheng was giving a lecture to a group of family disciples:

"I've just arrived from Red Rock City, and I'm not familiar with the place. The current Falling Moon City is extremely complex, with a mix of various monks and many foundations. We must not act cautiously, do not act recklessly, and do not clash with other forces. Bear with all things, do you understand?"

Shi Chensheng knew very well that they, the disciples of the family, had accumulated wealth for hundreds of years.

After the disaster, the wealth of the entire family was concentrated in the hands of a few people.

Many times richer than other loose monks.

Affluence is a good thing, but it is also the easiest to be targeted in troubled times.

Therefore, it was previously possible not to be low-key.

Now it has to be low-key.

"Understood." N。

Shi Chensheng nodded with satisfaction:

"Well, I will also set an example for you, never act impulsively, and remember to be cautious in what you say and do."

It was at this time.

Three old friends from Zhuji came to visit, and when they saw Shi Chensheng at the door, one of them praised him greatly:

"Haha, Shi Daoyou, I admire it. Shi Daoyou's slap in Fang City today really fanned out the confidence and resentment of the new monks in Falling Moon City for us. To tell you the truth, I wanted to slap them a long time ago, and I actually treated me and other newcomers like masters."

Shi Chensheng: ???

… What a slap?

Full of question marks.

Without waiting for Shi Chensheng to speak, another monk said:

"However, Shi Daoyou has offended Falling Moon City, so it's better to be cautious these days. That Falling Moon City City Lord is the most calf protector."

Shi Chensheng: ???

What are you talking about?

Who offended Moonfall City?

"Shi Daoyou is really a brave man. When I heard that the ratio of the four tripods that day, Shi Daoyou won easily, and I knew that Shi Daoyou was by no means simple. It's just that Cloud City is already the target of everyone, so it's better not to implicate Shi Daoyou with them." Another monk added.

Shi Chensheng: ???

Can you not mention the ratio of the four tripods?

Also, when did I end up having a relationship with Cloudsdale?

He frowned and couldn't help but say:

"Fellow Daoists, I don't understand what you are talking about? I won't hide it from you, since I came to Falling Moon City, my Shi family has always kept a low profile, and I will never get into trouble easily, and I am still giving a lecture to the family's Qi cultivator just now."

The three visiting monks were slightly stunned.

looked at Shi Chensheng, and then at the group of Shi family monks standing neatly in the courtyard.

One of the most exciting monks combined with Shi Chensheng's words just now, and after thinking about it, he suddenly understood:

This stone Taoist friend only wants to be in the limelight, but he wants his own monk to keep a low profile.

The Spiritual Monk suddenly realized and said:

"Ah, understood, understood. It's me who waited abruptly, maybe I made a mistake in my memory, and there was nothing serious. Shi Daoyou, everyone, don't bother, take your leave."

Then he pulled the two bewildered companions and hurriedly said goodbye.

There was also Shi Chensheng with a stunned face.

… What's it?

……

Chen Ping originally focused on cultivating the exercises, but in the evening, Yun Haitang suddenly visited.

in the living room.

Yun Haitang sat quietly, his head slightly twisted, looking at the scenery outside the window.

The yellowish sunset shone through the window, crumpled into her big eyes, and the blue flowed with the softness of the quiet years.

Seeing Chen Ping come out, she got up to say hello.

"Chen Daoyou, thank you for your help this afternoon. The family disciples were a little impulsive, and without Chen Daoyou's help, they were afraid that they would have caused trouble now." Yun Haitang waved his hand.

Chen Ping: ???

"Huh?"

I'm so good-looking.

"After hearing the disciple's description

, I know that it is you who help you. Don't worry, I haven't told anyone about it." Yun Haitang chuckled.

Chen Ping gasped.

This is not simple.

Now that he has guessed it, Chen Ping didn't hide it anymore, but said:

"It's just a matter of raising your hands."

"However, the words of the monk in Falling Moon City may also be the true thoughts of a considerable number of people, especially when demonic intent breeds, it is easier to indulge such thoughts."

"Besides, your Yun family used to have a big business, and now that their wealth is highly concentrated, maybe there will be some ill-intentioned people who will use this as an excuse to embarrass you, so it is better to be cautious."

"Hmm." Yun Haitang nodded.

She hadn't thought about these questions.

It's just that there are more than fifty people in the family, and some monks are young and vigorous, and they are really on fire, and sometimes it is difficult to control.

Somewhat helpless.

"Thank you Chen Daoyou for the reminder. I will ask my family disciples to be more patient."

「……」

After Yun Haitang left, Chen Ping once again entered the state of practice of the exercises.

In order to reach the 'expert, level' as soon as possible.

After five days, the panel numbers jump:

[Three turns of Qingyuan Gong (second turn) (expert): 1/100. 】

Specialists.

This 'fishing hanging, opened up a level again.

The 300-pound big fish is also caught correctly.

Chen Ping did not waste time and continued to cultivate.

After six days, the panel throbbed:

[Realm: Foundation (4th floor): 3/100.] 】

Well.

Realm ascension is smoother.

Go on, go on.

Life does not stop, cultivation does not stop.

......

The days that followed.

Chen Ping mainly cultivates, and his activity range is basically limited to his own house.

The inner and outer courtyards are the best places to take a stroll.

Because the Awakening Pill was enough, he rarely even went to Fang City.

With the passage of time, the news of 'everyone being planted with demonic intent, and 'there is demonic energy in the aura) spread in the market, and after all, there were still high-ranking monks who noticed that something was wrong with them.

Chen Ping is not surprised, this kind of news will spread sooner or later.

After all, paper can't contain fire.

At first, it was only spread in a small area, mainly in the foundation building circle. Slowly spreading, more Qi cultivators also became aware.

And then, almost the whole city already knew about it.

When he learned that the Awakening Pill was the best elixir to suppress demonic intent, the price of the Awakening Pill was like a rocket, soaring in a straight line.

It soared five times in one month and ten times in two months.

Twenty times more in three months.

But even so, there is still no price in the market.

Only a few monks who are very short of spirit stones will take the risk of selling one or two bottles.

In this case, the head of the Lingxiao Sect couldn't resist the pressure and promised to distribute the Awakening Pill to every disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, the Zhuji monks would distribute a bottle every two months, and the Zhuji monks of other sects would be treated equally. Qi cultivator disciples are given one bottle every quarter.

How is this enough?

It's not enough.

The foundation monk asks for at least one pill a day, and one bottle is only eaten for ten days, and what about the remaining fifty days?

Qi cultivators are even more miserable.

But this is already the limit of the Ling Xiao Sect, there is no more.

Whenever he heard a colleague lament that the Awakening Pill was not enough, Chen Ping would also touch his more than 500 bottles of Awakening Pill and sigh:

"Well, yes, that's enough?"

"It's too little."

this day.

After Chen Ping finished cultivating, when he was walking in the outer courtyard, he unexpectedly saw a neighbor in the east who rarely showed up.

The neighborhood called

Xiahou Feng is an older foundation building monk with white hair.

He introduced himself as a guest from a small sect in the Tianyan Domain, and followed the elders of the sect to Lingxiao Sect.

"At the beginning, the confusion followed, and the elder only said that if the turnover of this trip was good, the monthly salary of each person could be doubled in the future. Hey, I didn't know until I arrived that I actually wanted to plot a mineral in the Qingyun Domain. I never thought that if I didn't get the minerals, I would never be able to go back." Xiahou Feng sneered, with self-deprecation and sarcasm in his tone.

Chen Ping was speechless.

Let you be greedy.

Now there is money to be made, but there is no life to spend.

However, he only complained in his heart, and as a guest secretary, he knew that the guest secretary was involuntary and the news was lagging behind.

Many times, Keqing is just a tool man.

"Don't worry too much, as long as the head is here, sooner or later you can find a way to break the formation." Chen Ping said indifferently.

Xiahou Feng smiled bitterly:

"What's the use? When that day comes, even if I don't fall into the demon, I'm afraid my foundation will be damaged."

"I am dissatisfied with Chen Daoyou and said that my cultivation growth is getting slower and slower, and it is only a matter of time before it stagnates. If under normal circumstances, I can advance to the next level of cultivation in ten or twenty years, then the current state has become at least a hundred years before I can advance to the next level."

This...

... The demonic intent is strong, and the cultivation is blocked.

Chen Ping looked at Xiahou Feng again and was stunned.

In Xiahou Feng's eyes, Chen Ping saw a sense of fanaticism, and his eyes seemed to become red.

Just as he was looking, he heard Xiahou's faint voice:

"I'm still going to have to find a way to get some Awakening Pills."

This guy.

I'm afraid I'm not going to embark on an adventurous road.

It's better to deal less with him.

lest they be implicated.

Chen Ping chatted a little bit, and then took the opportunity to leave in a hurry. He went back to his house.
