Only in Peach Blossom Moon Square!
(Two in one big chapter for monthly ticket)_4 Chen Dengming drained his cup of tea and raised his hand in a cheerful salute.
“Of course, if Brother Chen asks it of me, I, Hu Certain, am sure to get it done.
But Brother Chen, if you’ve sought this high-class Daoism from other parties too, although I keep my lips sealed, I can not guarantee others will do the same.
...
Perhaps in a few days, people from the Ming family may pay you a visit.”
“Oh?
Why is this?
Surely the Ming family isn’t forbidden from asking about incoming guests?”
“That’s not at all the case, but it hasn’t been quiet around here recently.
First, there’s been an increase in the number of Demonic Beasts, and even high-level Qi Cultivation beasts have shown up.
Secondly, a disenfranchised family from the Southern Region has migrated here.”
“A disenfranchised family from the Southern Region?” Chen Dengming paused, setting down his teacup.
“Ah, indeed!
The lady of that family is quite a beauty, it’s a shame about their unfortunate circumstances.
It seems like the patriarch of the family has died too.
Now, she has married a young master from the Luo family who has no hope of achieving Foundation Establishment.”
The Luo Family is looking to secure some land nearby for the Luo family to settle, causing some pressure on the Ming family who have started to recruit high-level Qi Cultivation practitioners.
Oh, these are turbulent times indeed!”
“Where is this disenfranchised family now?”
“Why, Brother Chen, are you familiar with that family?”
“Not at all, just curious after hearing about the pretty lady from you, Boss Hu.
If it’s nearby, wouldn’t it be alright for me to take a little peek?”
Boss Hu exclaimed, “Aha, hehehe, Brother Chen, indeed, we are birds of a feather!
We really should have met earlier!
How about tonight, I’ll play the host and take you there…”
“Well…
this doesn’t seem appropriate.
We’re meeting for the first time, and there’s always a tomorrow.
Let’s schedule it for another day!
Another day!”

After one cup of tea.
Chen Dengming walked out of the Business League shop with his hands intertwined within his sleeves, his eyebrows furrowed in thought.
The patriarch of the Luo family had died, and the entire Luo family had moved out of the borders of the Southern Region.
About half a month ago, they migrated to the Le Mountain Gully about six hundred miles away, which happens to be outside the sphere of influence of the Ming family.
This situation was both unexpected and expected for Chen Dengming.
But what he hadn’t anticipated, was that the Luo family would be devastated to the point that even their patriarch, who had reached mid-stage Foundation Establishment, had died.
He had originally thought that even if the Luo family couldn’t stand the assault of the Zhu and Lin families, the patriarch of the Luo family, with his wisdom, would make a wise judgement in advance.
Accept defeat, declare himself minor Luo, and hastily move the entire family away.
The worst-case scenario would be losing the family’s base and Spirit Vein.
As a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, living marginally would ensure his survival.
But now it seems that the patriarch of the Luo family never planned to withdraw from the beginning.
After a hard fight, only when he realized the dire situation did he begin to move the family, eventually dying in the Southern Region while ensuring Luo Bing’s safe escape.
This development left Chen Dengming puzzled.
Because if he were in that situation, he would undoubtedly abandon everything to ensure the safety of his family.
Why would the patriarch of the Luo family behave so unwisely?
However, thinking about it, Chen Dengming couldn’t help but laugh at himself, feeling as if he was considering the matter from a god’s perspective and ignoring the information gap.
The saying goes that spectators see the game better than the players.
It was only because he had been forewarned by Xu Ning and had personally experienced the beast tide orchestrated by the Lin family that he was able to speculate that the Zhu family was likely collaborating with the Lin family.
The Luo family is more than two thousand miles away from the Lin family.
Unlike him, they wouldn’t be able to get the news or experience what was happening firsthand.
And how would they know that the Zhu family was in league with the Lin family?
Even if they had some suspicions, they couldn’t be completely sure.
Under such confusing circumstances, the Luo family’s patriarch made a judgement.
Naturally, he wouldn’t make a decision directly based on the worst outcome – moving the family.
But in the end, after many delays, it was too late.”
“Actually…
if Luo Bing hadn’t returned, the patriarch of the Luo family might not have died, right?
Would the Zhu family really dare to bet everything?
Only when Luo Bing returned, the Zhu family could wipe out the Luo family once and for all, so they launched such a reckless and large-scale attack…
In this way, the Luo family attracted Luo Bing back with a son-in-law and a Foundation Establishment Pill…
This…”
Chen Dengming paused here, standing at a crossroad for a long while, his eyebrows furrowed and then relaxed.
He took out the map to check the location of Le home gully, sighed lightly, and headed towards the Spirit Vegetable market.
The prices of various Spirit Vegetables in the market at night are substantially reduced, which is all part of life’s experiences.
With his sweet talk, Chen Dengming flattered several female cultivators selling vegetables until they blushed, managing to buy several large bags of Spirit Vegetables at a lower price.
Over the next few days, while waiting for news of the goods purchased from Boss Hu, he also inquired about the situation of the Luo family.
Meanwhile, he asked his neighbour Chu Xun about the recent status of the wild beasts, which would help him hunt some Demonic Beasts to feed his two hungry Gu worms.
…
“I’m telling you, Brother Chen, that Green Backed Water Spider is not easy to deal with.
Based on my many years of beast hunting experience, this Water Spider ranks at the top among the beasts of the same level in combat power!
Eight legs…
so long, so big, so sharp…
Last time, after I encountered it with two fellow cultivators, I nearly got seriously injured.
One of the fellow cultivators even died.
Fortunately, my strength and magic artifact allowed me to escape.”
In the courtyard, Chu Xun spoke while gesturing, his expression showing still lingering fear.
When he saw Chen Dengming still standing there, startled, he widened his eyes, “Pour the wine, quick!
What I’m telling you is life-exchanging experience.
When you go out in the future and encounter it, it will definitely be useful.”
“Oh, oh, thank you, Brother Chu!”
Chen Dengming hastily smiled and poured the wine, tentatively asking, “If you, Brother Chu, with your fifth-level Qi Cultivation, couldn’t handle the Water Spider, is it a sixth-level Demonic Beast?”
