Market.

Although thirty years had passed, Liang Sheng’s cultivation level had not changed much. He could only sigh that despite there being no bottleneck in his cultivation, his progress was genuinely pitiful.

Name: Liang Sheng

Age: 597

Talent: Innocent Foolishness (Top grade)

Techniques: Upper Pure Immortal Scripture (10th Layer), Twenty Life-Nurturing Techniques (19th Layer), Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique (Curse)

Realm: Early Foundation Establishment Stage

Lifespan: 21134

Originally, Liang Sheng wanted to find a chance to “die peacefully,” but surprisingly, Zhou Kang suddenly disappeared in the secular world, directly arousing his vigilance.

If it had been someone else, he would not have cared so much. After all, people disappeared in the market every day, which was the fate of ordinary Loose Cultivators.

But Zhou Kang was different. His prowess in the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation had already made him invincible in the secular world. Moreover, his bloodline’s ability to seek fortune and avoid evil meant it was highly unlikely for him to face danger in the secular world.

Unless the person who attacked him far exceeded his cultivation level, which meant that the attacker was at least at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Yang Zhaoyu, the manager of Hua Tian Sect’s store, didn’t pay much attention to this situation at first, thinking that Zhou Kang had returned to his secular family and would stay there for a few days.

But after a month had passed, Yang Zhaoyu began to feel something was wrong. Even if one was attached to the secular world, they wouldn’t stay that long at the expense of their chance to establish a foundation.

So, Yang Zhaoyu sent people to look for Zhou Kang in the secular world, only to discover that he had mysteriously disappeared, leaving no trace.

As soon as this news came out, it made Yang Zhaoyu break out in a cold sweat, because he knew very well how important Zhou Family was to the Grand Elder of Refining Device Peak in their sect.

Without any hesitation, Yang Zhaoyu reported to the sect immediately. However, after a few days, he still had not received any response from the sect.

This made him uneasy because the sect’s attitude towards this matter would determine his future. Their apparent apathy made him restless.

But soon, he was no longer flustered, as the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator stationed in the market by the sect finally arrived.

The moment he saw the other party’s true face, he understood why the sect had not replied to him.

Zhou Mo!

This was the first disciple of the Zhou Family to successfully establish a foundation, and he had already entered the middle stage of Foundation Establishment by now.

No wonder the sect hadn’t responded to him because Zhou Mo represented the sect’s attitude, showing that they were taking Zhou Kang’s disappearance quite seriously.

Zhou Mo arrived in the Market with a dark expression, feeling bad about the situation with a sense of gloom in his heart.

However, even so, he was still very friendly to the people in the sect’s store and did not show his bad mood, avoiding causing unnecessary trouble to others.

Even for Liang Sheng, a Fifth Layer Qi Cultivation Alchemist, Zhou Mo’s attitude was still friendly, and there was no sign of any neglect.

Seeing this, Liang Sheng couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. The Zhou Family disciples were indeed extraordinary, and their temperament was truly breathtaking.

He wondered why the Zhou Family Bloodline was so outstanding that almost everyone from the family left no room for criticism. Liang Sheng involuntarily fell into memories, thinking about those people and events.

However, Zhou Mo’s arrival made Liang Sheng even more determined to speed up his “peaceful death” plan, because Zhou Mo didn’t immediately set off to investigate Zhou Kang’s disappearance in the secular world.

What did this mean?

It meant that he also sensed danger and didn’t have confidence in his heart, so he stayed in the market to observe the situation first.

If even Zhou Mo at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage felt uneasy, then it was a perfect time for Liang Sheng to flee.

Fortunately, Liang Sheng had already revealed signs of his impending death a few years ago, so now when he initiated his “death” plan, it wouldn’t seem too abrupt.

When Liang Sheng asked to resign from Yang Zhaoyu, the latter’s eyes were somewhat complicated. Still, he didn’t try to retain him too much, just offering some standard persuasion before letting Liang Sheng leave smoothly.

On the contrary, when Zhou Mo heard that Liang Sheng was retiring and wanted to return to his roots, he even personally escorted Liang Sheng out of the store.

Such a temperament could hardly be criticized.

Usually, the Hua Tian Sect’s store would send someone to escort Liang Sheng back to his hometown as a sign of respect for the Guest Elder.

However, due to Zhou Kang’s disappearance, Yang Zhaoyu had no time to attend to Liang Sheng. Liang Sheng was also happy to see this situation; why would he seek trouble for himself?

Nevertheless, Zhou Mo considered the situation more comprehensively and gave Liang Sheng a jade tag representing the identity of an ordinary guest elder of the Hua Tian Sect before he left the market, fulfilling their sect’s friendship.

Most Loose Cultivators would give face to the “jade tag,” so Liang Sheng should not encounter anyone trying to cause trouble when “returning home.”

On the same day, Liang Sheng bid farewell to the Marketplace Alchemists one by one. They all had to know about Chen Sheng’s impending “peaceful death.”

Then, on a quiet night, Liang Sheng left the market in a low-key manner. However, this time, he did not conceal his departure. Of course, he had to let the market know that he had left.

At this time, the Hua Tian Sect’s store was investigating Zhou Kang’s disappearance, and the sect didn’t care about Liang Sheng. Although he had the jade tag, Liang Sheng thought some imprudent Loose Cultivators would follow him. Surprisingly, no one followed him at all.

He thought about it, and then he understood the situation.. It was because he was known as a “Pill Maniac!”
