Chapter 141: 086: Everyone’s heart is different and hard to resemble, all things are made by fate (Big Chapter asking for monthly tickets)_3 Chapter 141: 086: Everyone’s heart is different and hard to resemble, all things are made by fate (Big Chapter asking for monthly tickets)_3 Daoist Lingyue frowned, displeased, “Our ancestor just came out of seclusion for a stroll, intending to find some good moods.
Your disciple failed the test earlier and the ancestor was already disappointed.
Now, he must be disturbed by such a trifle?”
As he spoke, he chuckled inwardly.
Yue Kun had many more opportunities to communicate with the ancestor since he became Nangong Yun’s master, receiving more resources and sect contributions.
He watched all these, sour in his heart, yet had to pretend to be magnanimous on the surface.
Previously, when it was confirmed that Nangong Yun was worthless, and now even more so since he was dead, he wasn’t even considered trash.
How could they disturb the ancestor again because of this?
...
“In that case, this matter will just have to be postponed for now…”
Yue Kun had long anticipated this.
With a sigh, he bid farewell and turned to leave.
The matter wasn’t that urgent.
When the ancestor returns, the merit will still be his alone.
Even the sect leader, who has always looked down on him, will have to bear the blame for delaying important matters.
If there are no merits, then so be it.
However, this wait might be quite long.
Ordinary mortals could possibly travel for one or two months.
As for Golden Core cultivators who lived for hundreds of years, they might reside in a beautiful place for years when they went out for a stroll.
Perhaps four or five years would pass by the time they returned.
Given the speed at which the Miaoyin Sect was training Chen Dengming in these four or five years, it was likely that Chen Dengming would breach the Foundation Establishment phase.
Yue Kun was both envious and jealous, and became interested in Nanxun’s secret and the Demon Star’s path.
But he quickly suppressed these thoughts.
As long as one hasn’t reached the Golden Core phase, one has no qualification to know about the Demon Star matter.
…
“Brother Chen, you only hunted one beast in the past days?”
“The guards of Absolute Forest City have netted everything.
You should know that.
I even ran into three on the road who were interested in the meat of the demonic beast I had…”
Within the courtyard of the Spirit House in Absolute Forest City, Chen Dengming was chatting with Chu Xun, who was processing the corpse of a demonic beast.
Chu Xun was startled, slowed down his work, and asked, “Those greedy bastards even dared to lay their hands on you, Brother Chen?
Didn’t you…?”
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
Chu Xun picked up his butcher knife and gestured a slashing motion across his throat.
Chen Dengming chuckled, blew on the tea in his cup, and shook his head, “Am I that impulsive?
At the very least, they were sheltered by officialdom.
It’s just a dead beast.
If they wanted it, I was even willing to give it to them.”
“And then what happened?”
“They didn’t want it anymore.”
“Tsk -– your deterrence is strong, Brother Chen.”
Chu Xun shook his head and gave a polite compliment, thinking it was normal.
Those with government backing weren’t idiots either.
Encountering tough opponents in the wild, they knew when to bow down.
Otherwise, if they were killed, the murderer could skip town and they would have died in vain.
He swiftly continued his work, dismembering one leg, and commenting, “Brother Chen, the business of selling demonic beast meat is also hard now.
There’s too much on the market, and the prices have devalued.
I heard from a Fish Cultivator that the guard cultivators’ meat is being prepared to be bulk sold to them for resale in other markets.
They’re not as interested in the meat I have here…”
Chen Dengming frowned.
He had spent eight middle-grade spirit stones to purchase the demonic beast cultivation technique.
Between eating, drinking, buying translation books, as well as cultivation and such, he had also spent more than one middle-grade spirit stone.
His savings were drastically depleted, now only amounting to eleven middle-grade spirit stones.
Now, there were few demonic beasts around Absolute Forest City, making it troublesome to quickly practice the Bone Forging Skill.
Chen Dengming shook his head, “The resources around Absolute Forest City are decreasing, and there aren’t many opportunities to make money.
It looks like we’ll need to leave soon.
I’ve said before, I intend to join a sect.
What are your plans?
Do you want to try your luck?”
Chu Xun paused in his work, lacking in confidence, “Although I have a mid-grade Spiritual Root, my Spirit Qi Affinity is one of the worst in the middle grade.
I once wanted to join the Heavenly River Sect, but I didn’t pass the test.
Could it work?”
“Try, how would you know unless you try?”
“Try…the sect test doesn’t only revolve around the Spiritual Root, there’re also several other tests like mental character.”
Chu Xun muttered, still lacking in confidence.
Chen Dengming subtly shook his head.
Loose cultivators were often lacking in confidence, feeling inferior when facing a sect.
In reality, Chu Xun’s situation was extremely good compared to the vast majority of loose cultivators.
“By the way, Brother Chen, there is one thing I forgot to mention.
Didn’t you always ask me to keep an eye on Jiang Daoyou’s whereabouts?
I think I had a bit of a discovery yesterday…”
“Oh?”
Chen Dengming’s eyes narrowed as he put down his teacup, “What discovery?”
Chu Xun thought hard, “Yesterday, while I was chatting with a group of Fish Cultivators at the fish port, I saw some people from the Roaming Association bring a group of people for trading.
After the Fish Cultivators buy those people, they become low-wage fishing laborers and follow the Fish Cultivator out to sea and even to many markets along the Northern Sea to do business.”
Chen Dengming was clear about this information and wasn’t surprised.
In his previous life, people often got tricked into some coastal cities.
Once they went aboard a ship and became sailors, they could hardly dream of returning home.
If they dared to retaliate, the outcome would usually be to sink to the bottom of the sea.
As Chu Xun suddenly started talking about this, could it be…
“Then I heard someone in the group of Fish Cultivators trading with the Roaming Association asking if there were any more Array Masters for sale like last time.
They needed special talents.”
Chen Dengming’s eyes narrowed.
Chu Xun’s movement with the butcher knife also paused for a moment, and after a sigh, he continued to silently slice the meat.
Actually, he had heard this news a few days ago.
But he was unwilling to tell Chen Dengming.
He didn’t want to break this peaceful life, didn’t want to take risks for a stranger like Jiang Daoyou, and didn’t want Brother Chen to get involved in the trouble of the Fish Cultivators.
Originally, he planned to keep this matter to himself.
If he didn’t say anything, even if Chen Dengming accidentally heard about it later on, it would still be a matter of probability in the future.
Speaking out, however, would only lead to unnecessary trouble.
However, now that Brother Chen had the intention to leave.
And he had already investigated that the Fish Cultivator wasn’t particularly strong.
After wrestling with himself, Chu Xun decided to tell him.
Arm in arm, Brother Chen had treated him well and generously.
The task entrusted to him, if he couldn’t do it that would be one thing, but if he could and chose to hide it, then he would be less than human.
At this moment, Chen Dengming’s voice came, “Very well, first confirm whether Jiang Daoyou is in the hands of those Fish Cultivators.
Don’t be anxious and don’t reveal anything unusual…”
