He dared not get too close to the cave dwelling gate, worried about annoying the owner of the cave dwelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the moonlight, he seemed to be in a cold pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, his lean body was taut, but he habitually hunched his back slightly, his head lowered, like a stone sculpture frozen in the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flying letter for reporting had already penetrated the door and disappeared without a trace. Chen San didn’t know if the cultivator inside the cave dwelling had received his letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night wind carried the chill of the mountain peak, swirling up from under the cliff, wailing, blowing a layer of tiny goosebumps on his exposed neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chill drilled into his bones, but he was completely unaware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time the wind stopped slightly, he subconsciously held his breath and pricked up his ears, capturing any sound that might come from inside the door—footsteps, a light cough, or even the subtle humming of spiritual energy circulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what he got was only deeper silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave dwelling gate in front of him was like a cold giant mouth, swallowing all his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then wait until dawn to show sincerity.\" He sighed in his heart, his hands and feet gradually became cold, and his gaze no longer stared at the door, but gradually wandered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the cliff wall next to the cave dwelling, he saw a cluster of extremely tenacious vines squeezed into the stone cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark brown roots were rough and twisted, tightly clinging to the pitiful wet mud in the rock cracks. Most of the vines were pressed tightly under a huge mountain rock with protruding, ferocious edges, and could only squeeze out a few weak vine strips from the edge and bottom of the stone cracks, twisting and exploring upwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moonlight stingily sprinkled a few strands, just illuminating the tip of a vine strip. Two new tender leaves were on the tip of the vine, not yet fully unfolded, revealing a kind of humble vitality under the moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San’s gaze gradually solidified on these two green leaves, and past skills emerged in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the mine, his young and humble body was like a mouse curled up in a dark corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a ray of sunlight shone down from the hole above his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San was not born in a cultivation family, not even a commoner household. He was the illegitimate child of a mine slave, living in a spirit stone mine pit since he was a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to live a few more days in the harsh environment, the old miners in the mine pit secretly learned many incomplete and shallow breathing methods and some earth methods to increase strength and pain resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San was like a dry sponge, greedily absorbing these \"garbage\" and secretly growing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cruel living environment made him keenly perceive the changes around him since he was a child, able to use all the resources around him to the extreme of his cognition, and able to rack his brains, even fight for his life, for a piece of mineral slag containing weak spiritual energy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his father died, he pointed to the hole where the sunlight shone: \"Little cub, your life is not good, you are my cub. I am a mine slave, and you are also a mine slave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a low-grade spiritual root, and you are too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, it’s useless. Our life, even if it’s just a Qi Refining stage. At most, it can only be a Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See that vine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Learn from it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relying on ourselves alone, we can only be at the bottom of cultivators. But if we can attach ourselves to a certain force, a certain organization, we can reach a height that we could never reach in this life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just like that fat supervisor, his cultivation is not enough at all, but he is a distant relative of Manager Zhang. So, he can become a supervisor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you hear that, little cub!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San gritted his teeth, his red eyes staring at the dark green vine, and hissed in a low voice: \"I heard it, old man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are countless cultivators, with high levels, naturally there are middle levels and bottom levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San had no talent, his cultivation talent was poor to the bottom, and he had no cultivation resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was like a vine, like a leaf, stretching out with all his might, stretching towards the high cliff wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the cliff wall was too high, too steep, too stiff. The vine tip touched in vain, like a pilgrim stretching out trembling fingers, but could never truly attach to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that Chen San hasn’t tried to attach to the strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He once presented a carefully drawn treasure map to Manager Zhao. Manager Zhao threw the treasure map to the ground and crushed it heavily with the sole of his boot. The harsh mockery and the unscrupulous laughter around were like countless needles piercing Chen San’s eardrums.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also made mechanism birds, which could be used for night inspections. He presented them to Captain Wang of the City Guard as a gift for promotion. As a result, the mechanism bird was used as evidence, and Captain Wang used it to frame Chen San as the murderer of a major case. The stench of the prison, the pain of the whipping, and then he was forced to confess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had luck, just happened to save a young master of a family. In the end, he stood outside the grand vermilion gate of the big family, holding a light bag of low-grade spirit stones, and the disgusted voice of Young Master Lin came vaguely from inside the door: \"How unlucky.\" The look the butler gave Chen San was cold, full of charity, as if looking at a wild dog begging for food on the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also spent almost all his family wealth at an auction to buy a treasure, and presented it to a young master in public. The young master gently pushed away the magic tool he offered with a folding fan, as if pushing away a buzzing fly. He looked down at Chen San from above, his face full of undisguised contempt: \"What are you? You are worthy of offering gifts to me? It’s a pity that this treasure, after passing through your hands, is dirty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time after time of humiliation made Chen San’s memory carry burning pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how strong the burning pain was, it couldn’t compare to his intention to attach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relying on myself, even if I exhaust my life, I will only be twisting and struggling in the dirty and muddy bottom gap, growing a few insignificant leaves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At any time, I may be crushed by a larger stone, or crushed by an unintentional foot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relying on myself is absolutely impossible, but it is not that there is no other hope!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was originally a weed. A humble vine can only reach a certain height by attaching to a high mountain, touching more sunlight, and seeing more scenery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They don’t look down on me, just because I don’t have much value. Who would recruit a weed vine with low-grade spiritual roots and no potential as a subordinate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can I make myself more valuable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps rooting at the bottom is both my weakness and my strength—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vine named Chen San grew from the mine in childhood, under the sunlight, to here, in the crack of a giant rock next to the Blue Stone Cave Dwelling, under the moonlight, with leaves trembling in the night wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What will be the result of this attachment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Will the person behind this door be the next Manager Zhao, the next Captain Wang? Will the folding fan of that young master at the auction push himself away again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the same time, expectation is like a firefly in the dark, jumping weakly and tenaciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if? What if this time is different?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if the owner of this Shushi Cave Dwelling really needs a sharp ear, a helper walking in the shadows?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worry, expectation, tension, and panic were like invisible vines, wrapping around Chen San’s heart, tightening more and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the wailing of the night wind, his body and mind were tense, constantly accumulating chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence, still boundless silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue jade door remained motionless, like ten-thousand-year black ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San subconsciously looked at the common vine in the stone crack again, as if he saw his destined ending, shattered in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just at this moment, inside the cave dwelling gate, a very slight \"click\" sound of jade rubbing against jade seemed to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San’s pupils contracted sharply, his whole body’s muscles tightened, and he subconsciously held his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened a crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, under Chen San’s tight gaze, this crack gradually increased, revealing the figure of an old cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen San pays respects to the senior.\" Chen San immediately bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old cook looked him up and down, nodded slightly: \"The Young Master has summoned you, follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San was overjoyed. In the past, it was the subordinates of the strong who fobbed him off. He didn’t expect that this time, he would be summoned by Ning Zhuo in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had participated in Ning Zhuo’s banquet at the restaurant just now, but public and private—Chen San, who had been struggling at the bottom, knew too well the huge difference between them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang bang bang—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the intensification of expectation, Chen San’s tension also intensified, and his heartbeat accelerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The martial arts array opened a door-sized passage. Chen San stepped into it, saw Ning Zhuo sitting in meditation from afar, and immediately bowed respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo: \"Chen San, how did the things I asked you to do go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo’s tone was not polite, but Chen San was even happier. Because the attitude towards fellow daoists and subordinates is different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San reported Ah Huo’s performance and so on to Ning Zhuo concisely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo did not answer, but fell into a short silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San stared at the floor tiles by his feet, his heartbeat intensified, his mouth was dry, and he felt like a year in a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo took out a bag of spirit stones and threw it at Chen San’s feet: \"I read your information, you are also a person participating in the Flying Cloud Conference, so the Myriad Phenomena Sect has conducted more investigations into your situation. Therefore, I also know quite a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>,5\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you are good at information collection, then use this money to do something for me first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: \"Please Young Master, just give your orders, your subordinate will definitely do his best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo said: \"I want you to spread some rumors—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San listened carefully, remembered it in his heart, and then repeated it to Ning Zhuo, word for word, almost without any difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had an outstanding memory, otherwise he couldn’t do the information job. In fact, he grew up in a mine since he was a child. Without an outstanding memory, how could he distinguish the correct path in complex and similar underground mines and mine tunnels?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo nodded slightly: \"Go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San: \"Subordinate takes his leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the magic array opened a passage the size of a door. He bowed, took several steps back, and then turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old cook stood outside the array, saw Chen San come out, and stretched out his arm: \"This way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two walked out of the cave dwelling one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San bowed to the old cook to say goodbye: \"Thank you, old senior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old cook hummed expressionlessly: \"Since you are valued by the Young Master, then do things well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Subordinate will definitely do his best!\" Chen San dared to speak a little louder this time, making a guarantee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old cook closed the cave dwelling gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San turned and left, walked to the edge of the stone platform, stopped again, turned to face the cave dwelling and bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drove the cloud and left. Halfway through, the night wind kept blowing, and he calmed down a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head slightly, still feeling a bit confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the encounter just now, it was like a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect that Ning Zhuo didn’t give him a long speech, but threw him a new task directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this another test from Young Master Ning Zhuo?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Chen San used his spiritual sense to probe into the storage bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are so many spirit stones?\" The number of spirit stones in the storage bag exceeded his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had actually prepared to pay for it himself, but Ning Zhuo gave funds far exceeding the activity itself, which was an encounter Chen San had never had before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he not afraid that I will take this money and run away directly?\" Doubts arose in Chen San’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or is he of noble birth and doesn’t know how much it should cost to spread rumors?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen San shook his head again, his eyes firm: \"No matter what, I must firmly grasp this opportunity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Family Ancestral Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak, creak—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of Supreme Clan Elders surrounded the Clan Fate Pivot Chain, their faces all livid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Clan Fate Pivot Chain deformed again, revealing some secrets of Ning Zhuo’s luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This guy still got this luck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before he got it, he already suppressed Ban Ji. Now his luck is even more prosperous, what should we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ban Ji’s King’s Mandate needs to be stimulated step by step, but Ning Zhuo blocked Ban Ji, which is equivalent to blocking the promotion channel of the entire Ban family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Must solve this tribulation for Ban Ji!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the Myriad Phenomena Sect cannot be provoked—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Need to discuss it in the long run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First use the Clan Fate Pivot Chain to create some trouble for his luck. This kid’s luck only calculated half the content, but it has already shocked me. We must curb him in this regard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seconded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seconded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seconded!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji met Wangyan Monk, Rust Disaster Craftsman, and Liu Qingyan in the cave dwelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face also turned livid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing? Scared out of your wits by Ning Zhuo?!\" Ban Ji stared at the three demonic cultivators in front of him and mocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wangyan Monk put his hands together on his chest: \"This Ning Zhuo has already obtained the stone plaque, is a genius even stronger than you, Ban Ji, and has a mysterious and powerful force supporting him behind him. Your reward is absolutely not enough for me to go against such a heaven-favored genius.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji’s face softened a little: \"Ning Zhuo’s strength indeed exceeded expectations. If the money is too little, that’s easy to handle! I’ll just add more money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the response he got was the three people shaking their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rust Disaster Craftsman said: \"I’m afraid I have the life to earn it, but not the life to spend it. Pan Si Niangzi has been missing for many days. She previously wanted to deal with Ning Zhuo with the help of Che Zhuzi, and now there is no news, she must be in bad luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingyan: \"Even if we can deal with Ning Zhuo now, how will we face the retaliation of the forces behind him in the future?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s more terrifying is that he has already obtained the first place of Qing Huangzi, and now he has four first places in his hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about you, Ban Ji?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji’s face flushed red, revealing anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He growled: \"I was just ruined in rhythm! If I were to exert myself, without this brat Ning Zhuo interfering, I would definitely have been the stone plaque long ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you know my strength?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three were silent, looking at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rust Disaster Craftsman: \"It is precisely because we know your strength and future that we agreed to help you deal with Ning Zhuo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the struggle between you and Ning Zhuo is not something we can get involved in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wangyan Monk: \"Rumors have already emerged on the market that we three were instructed by you to come and obstruct Ning Zhuo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we make things difficult for Ning Zhuo again, it will be too dangerous.
