Translator: 549690339
Feeling annoyed, Chen Mo decided not to go out, and spent the next few days stabilizing his Sixth Realm of Qi cultivation.
However, by staying in the market town without leaving, Chen Mo made his opponent feel uneasy.
Qian Yongjian hadn’t expected that Chen Mo would not leave the market town after coming out of his seclusion and making a breakthrough, so he became increasingly anxious.
He must obtain that small spiritual field if it exists, but after patiently waiting for some time and realizing that Chen Mo had not left, Qian Yongjian finally decided to meet with him.
One day, like usual, Liang Sheng was at home making talismans, and he would go to the eastern area of the market town in the afternoon. This time, he successfully made Fireball and Waterball talismans one after another.
Liang Sheng naturally felt joyous and thought that, given enough time, he could achieve a 100% success rate in making these two types of talismans.
Just as he was getting ready to draw other kinds of talismans, Chen Mo suddenly arrived, holding a jade slip in his hand, which puzzled Liang Sheng.
“Qian Yongjian sent someone to contact me yesterday, saying he wants to invite me for tea.”
Qian Yongjian?
So straightforward?
Of course, Liang Sheng knew who the person was – after all, he had followed him all the way to his Cave Mansion and would naturally try to find out his origins.
“So, are you planning to meet him?”
Upon hearing the question, Chen Mo nodded. He wanted to find out why this person was stalking him and what he had that was worthy of the latter’s concern.
After all, Qian Yongjian, who was at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Level, seemed unattainable in Chen Mo’s eyes, and it was unclear how long it would take for him to break through to the Eighth Level of Qi Cultivation.
“This is the jade slip to open my Cave Mansion. With it, you can enter and exit my dwelling at will. Brother Zhou, if 1 don’t come back…”
Before Chen Mo could finish speaking, Liang Sheng refused saying, “Daoist Chen, don’t laugh at me. I’m not ambitious; otherwise, I wouldn’t be a Talisman Maker in the market town.
1 know that 1 don’t have enough good fortune, so I just want to cultivate and live in peace. Everything else has nothing to do with me. When it comes to cultivation, it all boils down to fate.”
Hearing Liang Sheng’s words, Chen Mo was touched. He didn’t expect Liang Sheng to have such a nature, but now he felt even more relieved.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, Liang Sheng simply refused to accept the jade slip. “Daoist Chen, let’s be straight. I am just a mere Loose Cultivator at the Third Layer of Qi cultivation. 1 don’t want to get involved in trouble, so please don’t harm me.
Moreover, today 1 see that you have a rosy face and a full celestial dome, so it doesn’t look like you’re in great danger. Don’t overthink things.”
Seeing this, Chen Mo finally stopped insisting. However, he still sighed, “It’s a pity that 1 don’t have a Hua Tian Sect Black Iron Command; otherwise, I could give it to you.
Considering your aspirations, Daoist, you can actually think about going to the secular world where you wouldn’t have to worry about your safety.”
Hearing this, Liang Sheng wondered if Chen Mo had said it unintentionally, and Chen Mo patted himself on the head.
“Look at me, I forgot that you don’t know many things. It’s not a secret here in the Market. Outside the dense fog, there is actually a passage that leads to the secular world.
Three Sects and Six Orders all have the route to this passage, and only the Hua Tian Sect goes there every once in a while. However, we Loose Cultivators cannot go there because we would get lost in the dense fog, and not many people want to go to the secular world anyway.
It is said that a few hundred years ago, people from the secular world’s dynasty brought Black Iron Commands to the Hua Tian Sect’s store, and it was even rumored that a few decades ago, a person from a secular imperial dynasty was taken in as a disciple by the Hua Tian Sect.
However, this seems to be a joke since how could the secular royal family have such luck in cultivation? So, nobody took it seriously.
Moreover, the secular world is filthy. Everyone wants to succeed in cultivation, to become immortals, and who would really want to go to the secular world?”
Chen Mo suddenly became chatty, and Liang Sheng then realized that Chen Mo was feeling nervous because he was going to meet Qian Yongjian.
After all, being remembered by a Cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Level, how many people can remain calm and indifferent like they usually would?
Fortunately, Chen Mo eventually regained his composure. Noticing Liang Sheng’s insistence on refusal, he stopped pressing the matter and put the jade slip back into his Cave Mansion.
However, after this incident, Liang Sheng trusted Chen Mo even more. Having such a strong character was worth befriending, and someone who avoids trouble would not cause it.
Only, he himself couldn’t be so carefree. He still desired to grasp the slightest opportunity and succeed in cultivation.
Chen Mo left the Cave Mansion to meet Qian Yongjian, and Liang Sheng did not stay in his Cave Mansion either. He planned to continue to explore the black market’s clues.
However, after spending so many days observing, he finally figured out the pattern in the One-Eyed Cultivator’s appearances – every seven days, the One-Eyed Cultivator would disappear for three days, and when he returned, there would be new items at his stall.
This seemed like a typical Loose Cultivator going out in search of cultivation resources, but the situation was rather strange.
After all, which Loose Cultivator could guarantee that they would find something every time they went out?
Leaving a message stating that he was in seclusion outside of his Cave Mansion, Liang Sheng tried to prevent Chen Mo from looking for him later. He then discreetly left the Cave Mansion with the help of his Attribute Panel’s concealment, so no one noticed his departure..
