Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

When Xu Changqing found Zhang Laizi, she had just sold the demon beast in her hand and was considering whether to find a place to rest, when suddenly someone blocked her path.

"I just got back, I'm not planning to go out hunting demons for the time being!"

"Oh?"

"You... hmm?"

At first, Zhang Laizi thought it was some hunting demon team wanting to invite her, but upon seeing the other person's face clearly, she froze on the spot.

Xu Changqing said with a half-smile: "Looks like you still remember me."

Zhang Laizi's pupils fluctuated slightly, and she said in disbelief: "Zhu Rong Daoist... Senior?"

Xu Changqing asked knowingly: "How come you're operating solo?"

Zhang Laizi's gaze dimmed, and after a long while she answered: "I withdrew from the Chi Hu Squad."

Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow, then asked: "Then, who should I ask for the spirit stones?"

Zhang Laizi revealed a mocking smile: "Who else could it be, Chi Hu of course."

Ever since the Chi Hu Squad was valued by the Wang Family, they obtained more and more resources.

Li Tie successfully reached Foundation Establishment.

Chi Hu became a Guest of Honor for many people.

In the past, the whole team worked hard for a year to earn only ten-odd middle-grade spirit stones, but now Chi Hu alone can earn hundreds of middle-grade spirit stones.

Xu Changqing lifted his chin: "Lead the way."

Zhang Laizi was stunned, she originally didn't plan to see Chi Hu again, but facing the request of the person before her, she didn't dare refuse, so she nodded helplessly: "Please follow me."

Subsequently, the two walked one after the other along the street toward the other side.

On the way they passed Changqing Wine Shop, and she went in to buy three liang of high-quality spirit rice wine.

Then she led the way while drinking.

Not long after, the two arrived at the gate of Chi Hu's current mansion.

In the past, when the Chi Hu Squad was still five people, everyone lived together; the house wasn't big, but the atmosphere was good.

Now the mansion is large, yet the people are of different hearts.

The two had just reached the gate when a burly, sturdy man walked out to meet them; he recognized Zhang Laizi at a glance and exclaimed in surprise: "Laizi, you've finally returned."

However, Zhang Laizi curled her lip with a face full of disdain: "Li Tie, I'm just leading the way."

This person was the Chi Hu Squad's current Deputy Captain Li Tie; hearing this, he shifted his gaze to the other person, then stared wide-eyed: "Senior Zhu Rong!"

Xu Changqing asked expressionlessly: "Are my spirit stones ready?"

Li Tie reacted quickly, immediately bowing to make way: "Just waiting for you to arrive."

Xu Changqing didn't say much, directly stepping inside.

Zhang Laizi didn't follow; instead she turned and left, not lingering for a moment.

She knew clearly in her heart that she and Chi Hu, Li Tie and the others were no longer the same kind of people.

As for Zhu Rong... even more so.

Not long after, led by Li Tie, Xu Changqing arrived at a guest hall.

The interior decoration was luxurious, all solid wood furniture.

There were also various ink paintings and ceramic ornaments.

Li Tie served tea and poured water, then said respectfully: "Senior, please wait a moment, I'll go notify the Team Captain."

Xu Changqing gave an "Mm" as response.

Soon, Li Tie hurriedly left.

"Hahaha!"

A moment later, Chi Hu hadn't arrived yet but his laughter already rang out: "Senior Zhu graces us with your presence, making my humble abode shine!"

Xu Changqing glanced sideways at the doorway; Chi Hu, Li Tie, and Zhou Cui appeared together.

Today's Chi Hu had lost his former ferocity, becoming composed and smooth.

As for Zhou Cui, who knows who she followed, her belly had swelled up.

Xu Changqing cursed inwardly: "I sense dense malice."

Chi Hu hadn't even sat down before immediately taking out a small storage bag and placing it on the table: "Senior Zhu, inside are your spirit stones."

Xu Changqing swept it with his spiritual sense: "One thousand middle-grade spirit stones?"

Chi Hu asked with a smile: "What do you think?"

Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow: "That's too many, right?"

Although he wasn't very familiar with the market price of demon beasts.

But no matter what, it couldn't possibly sell for a thousand middle-grade spirit stones.

After all, this Nightmare Wolf King isn't some extremely powerful demon beast.

At most, Green-backed Wolf, Nightmare Demon Wolf, and Nightmare Wolf King added together might break a thousand, and moreover several people are splitting this sum of spirit stones.

Chi Hu explained with a smile: "If not for you, we wouldn't have been valued by the Wang Family, and wouldn't have our current identities, status, and wealth.

This one thousand middle-grade spirit stones is to express gratitude."

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing didn't stand on ceremony and directly collected them.

Originally thought this time at most a few hundred, didn't expect over a thousand, also counts as unexpected joy.

At this time, Red Tiger smiled and continued: "There's still one matter I want to chat with you about."

Xu Zhangqing not surprised at all, an expression of as expected: "What matter?"

Red Tiger and Li Tie, Zhou Cui exchanged a glance, then said: "Black Forest depths, Wang Family and us joint exploration, suspected discovered Secret Realm Entrance.

Don't know, are you interested in this?"

Xu Zhangqing slightly surprised: "Secret Realm?"

Black Forest very large, coverage area very wide.

Outer Perimeter although explored by Hunting Demon Teams about done, but inside especially depths, actually still many unclear, not understood districts.

Best example, is Huang Yuanhua's Cave Abode.

You know, Dongqing City existence time over hundred years, Hunting Demon Teams number even more over hundred, explored so many times, not still year before last only discovered?

Therefore possible appear Secret Realm, even not just one.

Red Tiger seriously: "Now, our team lacks one strong person.

As long as you agree, can depart right now.

Moreover, this time's profits seven-three split."

However, Xu Zhangqing shook head: "Sorry, I'm not interested."

If not for Sun Peng's invitation, plus these spirit stones, I wouldn't have come to Dongqing City, even more wouldn't have entered Loose Cultivator Market.

He directly stood up, immediately walked toward outside.

Red Tiger, Li Tie wanted to retain, yet didn't dare step forward stop.

Could only watch his departing back figure, behind revealed regretful expressions.

Not long, Xu Zhangqing walked out mansion gate, turned back glanced at seeing-off Red Tiger three people, in heart secretly thought: "People indeed changed."

Before to change situation, Red Tiger dared risking life danger stand out, now instead timid and shrinking.

But other party's words, let self germinate an idea.

Breakthrough Golden Core before, must prepare well five kinds monsters' core parts, correspond Five Viscera and Five Elements.

Central Region's demon battlefield Xu Zhangqing also doesn't dare go, since so why abandon near seek far, simply in Loose Cultivator Market invest a Hunting Demon Team, privately help self collect done.

Personnel aspect, certainly must familiar work.

But Red Tiger etc. relied on Wang Family, therefore impossible cooperate.

Sun Family has other business, also impossible cooperate.

Then only left Zhang Laizi, Wang Linxun.

These two people, one Foundation Establishment Early Stage, one Qi Refining Late Stage.

In Immortal Sect not count what, but in Loose Cultivator Market quite good.

After all cooperated before, in heart know roots know bottom, key two people now both no team.

Thought of this, Xu Zhangqing divine sense a sweep, immediately toward Zhang Laizi's position walked.

She didn't walk far, but found a stall sat down, one side drinking wine, one side eating monster meat.

Just eating, suddenly sight and light both blocked.

Zhang Laizi slightly displeased raised head, just about to scold but then froze: "Senior Zhu?"

Xu Zhangqing slight smile, asked: "You... want don't want be Team Captain?"
