Chapter 44: The New Neighbor, Suspected to be a Demonic Cultivator

After dinner.

Zhou Sui had intended to exercise with his wives and concubines to celebrate his breakthrough to the Qi Refining Level 6 realm, but at that moment, a knock sounded at the door.

His heart stirred, and he immediately concealed his cultivation, appearing to be only at Qi Refining Fourth Layer.

Then he opened the courtyard gate and saw a male Cultivator at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer standing outside.

"Greetings, Daoist. I am Xu Tianze, a Talisman Master who just moved in. I have come specifically to pay a visit. This is a small token of my sincerity; I hope for your kind guidance in the future."

The speaker was a middle-aged man who identified himself as Xu Tianze. He reached out and handed over a few Talismans as a welcoming gift.

"Hello, I am Zhou Sui. Daoist Xu, are you a High-grade Talisman Master?"

Zhou Sui raised an eyebrow. He saw that these Talismans were all High-grade Talismans; if sold, they would be worth a significant sum, yet they were being given away as a mere welcoming gift.

One could imagine the other party's extravagance; his net worth must be substantial.

"That is correct. I am a High-grade Talisman Master. If you have any needs in the future, Daoist, you can come to me to purchase Talismans. They will certainly be ten percent cheaper than the market price."

Xu Tianze smiled slightly.

"You joke, Daoist. I could not afford High-grade Talismans."

Zhou Sui waved his hand.

"You are too modest. Since Daoist Zhou can afford to live in a house in Miyun City, your net worth must be considerable. How could you not afford my Talismans?" Xu Tianze laughed.

To be honest, the moment he saw Zhou Sui, he was secretly startled as well.

After all, every Cultivator who could afford a house in Miyun City was at the Qi Refining Late Stage.

Yet Zhou Sui was merely at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer. Being able to afford it meant he must have significant wealth and a powerful background.

"No, no, no. It is all thanks to my Dao Companions. Without their help, I would never be able to afford the rent."

Zhou Sui said modestly.

At this time, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan also walked out, looking curiously at this new neighbor, wanting to know what was happening.

What?!

Seeing these three beautiful and moving women, Xu Tianze was stunned. No matter how rich his imagination was, he never expected that this courtyard would actually house three Qi Refining Late Stage female Cultivators, and all of them were top-tier in appearance and figure.

If they were in a sect, they would likely be saintesses or celestial maidens.

"May I ask which one is your Dao Companion?"

Xu Tianze asked.

"Oh, both of these two are my Dao Companions."

Zhou Sui introduced them.

"This!"

Hearing this, Xu Tianze nearly spat out his saliva. He was dumbfounded. At first, he thought the other party only had one Dao Companion.

But the other party actually had two Dao Companions, holding one in each arm, and the remaining female Cultivator also seemed to have a very ambiguous and unusual relationship with him.

If these female Cultivators were mortals, it would be one thing; for a Cultivator to have several wives and concubines was quite common.

But who could have imagined that dignified Qi Refining Late Stage female Cultivators would marry this Qi Refining Mid-Stage brat as wives and concubines? This was simply insane. What virtue or ability did this brat have?

He was so jealous his guts were turning green, and he was completely unable to fathom it.

However, his deep cunning prevented him from revealing his inner thoughts.

"Truly a match made in heaven—er, two matches. It is the envy of others."

Xu Tianze's mouth twitched; he did not know what else to say.

"You are too kind. Daoist Xu, would you like to come in for a chat?"

Zhou Sui invited him.

After all, he was a newly moved-in neighbor, and they might run into each other often in the future; it was better to have a good relationship than a bad one.

Since the other party gave such a generous gift upon meeting, it would be rude to keep him standing at the door.

"No, no. This visit was just to greet my neighbors. I still have to visit others, so I will come another time." Xu Tianze waved his hand, indicating he still had other places to visit.

"I see. Then please come again when you have the chance, Daoist Xu."

Zhou Sui nodded and did not force the invitation.

He also gifted the other party a bottle of Pills as a return gift.

…………

Closing the door.

"Husband, this person is likely a Cultivator from the Xu Family, probably having arrived in Miyun City following the Xianxia Sect." Ji Bingyu speculated on the other party's true identity.

After all, a large number of outside Cultivators had come to Miyun City during this period, and this Xu Tianze was just one of them.

"The original neighbors around here have been moving out one after another to live in the Loose Cultivator Market outside the city. I fear all the vacant houses will be occupied by these incoming Cultivators."

Mu Ziyan said in a deep voice.

She felt that these new neighbors might visit frequently during this time.

This Xu Tianze was merely the first.

"This Xu Tianze is not a good person. Everyone must be careful and not fall for his tricks."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes and warned them.

"Husband, did you notice something?"

Ji Bingyu asked curiously. She felt that there was no major issue with Xu Tianze, and his attitude was very kind, seemingly no different from an ordinary Loose Cultivator.

"That is right. This Xu Tianze thinks he has hidden himself well, but I have a hidden talent: I can perceive the malice and goodwill deep within the hearts of strange Cultivators."

"Clearly, no matter how kind or refined he appears on the surface, he cannot hide the malice in his heart. Perhaps this person has some special conspiracy."

Zhou Sui clenched his fists.

To be honest, the moment he saw Xu Tianze, his sixth sense was strongly warning him that this person must be a Robber Cultivator, and the kind who kills without blinking.

It is even possible that the other party is a Demonic Cultivator who practices demonic arts.

The reason he possesses such a special talent relies entirely on his powerful Soul strength, which allows him to easily perceive the Soul aura of other Cultivators.

Therefore, the malice in the hearts of ordinary Cultivators cannot escape his perception.

"I didn't expect Husband to have such a talent."

Mu Ziyan was a little surprised.

"So that's how it is."

Xia Jingyan's beautiful eyes flickered; she also recalled the beginning, when Zhou Sui agreed to let the three of them move in.

One must know that Zhou Sui was merely a Qi Refining First Layer Cultivator; facing three Cultivators at the Qi Refining Late Stage, he should have been filled with trepidation, yet Zhou Sui still agreed to let them move in.

Thinking about it, that man must have perceived that the three of them held no malice or murderous intent at that time, which is why he dared to agree.

It is precisely because of this special ability that Zhou Sui has been able to survive in Miyun City.

"I fear Miyun City will become even more chaotic in the future. It would be better not to go out casually during this period; let us stay in the courtyard and cultivate diligently." A sense of urgency immediately welled up deep within Zhou Sui's heart.

He did not expect to encounter such a malicious Cultivator in Miyun City, and one suspected to be a Demonic Cultivator at that.

Clearly, even greater turmoil may occur in Miyun City in the future.

If he does not continue to improve his cultivation, he too will be swallowed by the turmoil.

A mere Qi Refining Level 6 cultivation is still not worth mentioning in the face of the impending turmoil.

"Very well, Husband."

Ji Bingyu and Mu Ziyan both nodded in agreement; in any case, they are not lacking Spirit Stones right now, so there is no need to go out and take risks.
