Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Leaving the Sun Family, Xu Zhangqing strolled alone along the streets of the Loose Cultivator market.

It was now the hai hour, meaning after nine in the evening.

Compared to the bustling daytime, it was now much quieter.

Along the entire street, only the entrances of shops gathered loose cultivators, or various cultivators coming here to trade.

Pity, the things here held no attraction for Xu Zhangqing anymore.

Therefore he did not enter the Trading Hall, but went straight to Yixiang Pavilion.

"While it's still autumn, let's enter the Black Forest a few more times."

"Why?"

"Once winter comes, the difficulty of hunting demons will increase greatly."

On the way, he happened to encounter a newly formed Hunting Demon Team.

There weren't many people, only five.

Two of them looked older in age, with fairly rich experience.

The other three had quite immature faces, clearly novices, estimated to have become cultivators not long ago, at most Qi Refining Middle Stage.

All kinds of life in the world, everyone has their own way of living.

Parasitizing in Dongqing City, for most powerless loose cultivators, forming or joining a Hunting Demon Team is the only way to have a stable source of income.

The stronger the strength, the more the income.

However, the Black Forest is only safe in the Outer Perimeter; the depths are extremely dangerous.

Inside there are not only demons, but also all sorts of indescribable things.

Without resources one cannot cultivate immortality, without cultivating immortality one cannot survive—this is the predicament many loose cultivators face, and they are powerless to change it.

Xu Zhangqing saw it in his eyes and heard it in his ears, unable to help but sigh: "Back then, if I had failed the Third Assessment, I probably would have become a loose cultivator too."

Every day laboring and rushing about just to survive, working oneself to death.

How could that compare to now, doing whatever one wants?

Want to drink flower wine, then drink flower wine.

Compared to others, life is much more comfortable.

After a while, Yixiang Pavilion appeared before him.

Still the familiar three-story building, familiar atmosphere, familiar fragrance.

But compared to half a year ago, the "prostitutes" here had changed again.

Hongzhu was attending the Sun Family's banquet and had not returned yet, so it was another woman who looked younger receiving guests.

Compared to the still-charming Hongzhu, she was more passionate because she was younger.

Seeing Xu Zhangqing arrive, she took the initiative to step forward and take his hand, her scallion-white jade fingers rubbing as she asked with a smiling face: "Immortal Master, which floor?"

Xu Zhangqing skillfully took out spirit stones: "Second Floor."

However, what let him feel slightly surprised was.

Xiao Taohong was not there.

Even Yue'er was not there.

Xiao Taohong's absence could be understood, after all she had an old lover.

But Yue'er had been sold to Yixiang Pavilion; surely she couldn't have been redeemed by someone?

The person was gone, so Xu Zhangqing naturally would not linger; therefore among twenty unfamiliar faces, he chose one that looked quite "plump."

Of course, not a bloated plumpness.

But a full plumpness.

Named Wen Ru, in her twenties.

A goose-egg face.

Her eyebrows and eyes were not exquisite, but won with clarity.

When she smiled, two shallow dimples would pile up.

Tall figure, rounded shoulders.

Her delicate body was like jade soaked in spring water, plump but not excessive.

Her neckline was open, revealing a flush of pink.

Her sash was tied loosely at her waist, the curve of her waist rising and falling like a crescent moon.

Her lips were full and lush, painted with a light rouge; when she spoke, her lips opened and closed, revealing the inner white jade teeth.

Soon, Wen Ru leaned over and made a soft, coquettish voice: "Immortal Master, drink wine!"

Xu Zhangqing took a light sip and asked casually: "Newcomer?"

Wen Ru blinked her eyes and laughed lightly as she praised: "Immortal Master has good eyesight."

Xu Zhangqing continued: "It seems your Yixiang Pavilion has changed another batch of people."

Wen Ru nodded slightly, then explained: "Yixiang Pavilion is not just one place; every so often, members from different places are rotated."

Xu Zhangqing suddenly understood: "That is to say, you come from another Yixiang Pavilion?"

Wen Ru's eyes flickered, like spring water overflowing, and she countered: "Immortal Master, do you like her?"

Xu Zhangqing said firmly: "Since I chose them myself, of course I like them."

Hearing this, Wen Ru's body went soft: "Then you... please dote on me more!"

……

……

Time came to the second day.

The banquet was attended.

The flower wine was drunk.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing had no thought of staying, and prepared to return to the Immortal Sect.

Before leaving, he specially went to the Lingmi Jiaoyidian of the Loose Cultivator Market and bought three thousand jin of high-quality spirit rice specially used for brewing wine water.

To say the truth, the prices at the Loose Cultivator Market were much cheaper than at the Immortal Sect.

This was also the main reason everyone was willing to come here to conduct transactions and exchanges.

Afterwards, Xu Zhangqing once again disguised himself as Zhu Rong's appearance, and left Dongqing City step by step.

How he came in was how he went out, after all, when acting one must do the whole set.

He originally planned to find a place with no one to summon Broken Moon Flowing Frost, and then leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the city he was targeted by someone, and not just one person.

If he remembered correctly, it was the five-person squad he encountered on the road last night.

"Yesterday, this brat took out over a hundred middle-grade spirit stones!"

"From this outfit you can tell, he's absolutely loaded!"

"One person dares to go out, isn't this giving us an opportunity?"

Xu Zhangqing walked forward, and the five-person squad followed behind.

At first he thought they were just on the way, but they followed wherever he went.

This time, Xu Zhangqing realized it, and suddenly revealed a cold smile.

He immediately turned direction and walked toward the depths of Black Forest.

At the same time he slowed his speed, letting these people catch up.

Just like that, after about five minutes, they came to the edge of a brook.

Arriving here, Xu Zhangqing did not leave, seemingly stopping to rest.

At this time, the five people who had been following behind quietly approached in an encircling formation.

Wood Spiritual Root, hidden among plants.

Earth Spiritual Root, moving silently without sound.

Water Spiritual Root, constantly condensing water vapor by the brook.

They did not intend to waste words with Xu Zhangqing, but to kill with one strike.

Thinking of getting rich soon, their hearts were as excited as could be.

Suddenly, Xu Zhangqing mocked: "Isn't living good?"

"Been discovered?"

"Quick, attack together!"

"Whoever he is, don't leave a single survivor!"

Besides them, no one else could be found here at all.

Seeing they had been discovered, the five people hesitated not at all, and decisively attacked.

Earth spikes, water arrows, vine technique entangling—various arts were unleashed one after another.

Xu Zhangqing saw the situation, with a "puff" sound, his whole person transformed into firelight and dissipated.

The next second, various attacks struck the spot just now, and earth and ground were torn apart on the spot.

"What's going on?"

Seeing the attacks miss, and the target also gone, the five people looked around in surprise and uncertainty.

Ga wu~

Ga wu~

Ga wu~

Suddenly, above their heads came the eerie cry of fire crows, like a countdown to taking lives.

Then, centered on the five people, the temperature within a radius of a hundred zhang suddenly soared.

The brook beside them instantly evaporated, and the fish inside were roasted on the spot.

The five people looked up and saw five fire crows trailing fire behind their tails, carrying rolling heat waves, diving toward them at extreme speed.

They absolutely could not block it; at the moment of contact, flesh and blood turned into charcoal.

On the left side, Xu Zhangqing revealed his figure and said expressionlessly: "Killing you, I don't even need to lift a hand!"
