(Two-in-one chapter seeking monthly ticket)_3 Chapter 154: 91~92: If you get the wine from the Foundation Establishment cup, why always bow your head outside?
(Two-in-one chapter seeking monthly ticket)_3 Yes, it lies in the fact that he is a formal disciple of the Longevity Sect.
In his previous life, this Liu Tao was a bona fide, salaried public servant with a secure job.
Whereas he, Chen Dengming, considered himself socially experienced and capable, but his age was an obstacle─wanting to get into public service, he found age restrictions preventing him from even taking the examination.

Fortunately, there might be a loophole with the Changchun Sect.
The absence of a precedent doesn’t mean one cannot be set; everything is within human control.
...
…
Five days later.
In a residential area within Everjoy District, territory of the Changchun Sect.
Chen Dengming had just set himself up in Everjoy District.
He politely brought along some gifts to visit his neighbours.
While visiting a Li surnamed cultivator living next door, he subtly added a pretty ornamental magic Artifact hairpin to his gift.
“Hehe, Friend Gao, you need not be so polite.”
“It’s my duty.
High someone is new here and unacquainted with this place.
In the future, we all will be neighbours.
As the saying goes, neighbours are better than distant relatives!”
Chen Dengming responded politely.
The neighbor, a Li surname cultivator, accepted the gift with a polite smile.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they both returned to their houses.
“Father, this someone High is quite sensible, he must know about my uncle’s status.”
In the house of the Li surname cultivator, a teenage girl muttered with a pout.
Li Rong frowned and shook his head, “Little girl, don’t talk nonsense.
This Friend Gao gave gifts to all the neighbors.
He is very generous, and I found him to be quite decent.”
The young girl ‘humphed’ dismissively.
Upon opening the gift bag, her eyes instantly lit up at the sight of the magic Artifact hairpin inside.
“Wow——such a beautiful looking hairpin, it’s mine now.”
“Hmm?”
Li Rong was surprised and looked at the other presents in the bag.
He then glanced at the magic Artifact hairpin, now being held by the girl.
Seeing it was just a lower-grade magic artifact, he relaxed, thinking that this High someone indeed had intentions, but this…
Chen Dengming faintly heard the girl’s laughter from the neighboring house and gently nodded.
For now, he had established his position in Everjoy District.
Even as a Loose Cultivator, if you have money, you can still afford a relatively comfortable place to stay.
Everjoy District is under the jurisdiction of the Changchun Sect and enjoys the protection of the sect, making it an extraordinarily safe environment.
However, the rental fee for a month is two middle-grade Spirit Stones, which is comparably high to Absolute Forest City.
With such high rental costs, the cultivators who can afford to live in Everjoy District are naturally the elites among Loose Cultivators.
Almost all of them have their own unique crafts or possess high-ranking Qi Cultivation.
Building a good relationship with these neighbours is necessary because some of them might have relatives in the Changchun Sect.
Cats have their own paths, and so do mice.
Chen Dengming had vaguely heard that his neighbour Li Rong had a cousin who held the position of an Executive in the Changchun Sect.
This was no weak background.
However, when trying to ingratiate oneself, it has to happen naturally; he can’t force things or engage in small talk randomly.
Chen Dengming was in no rush for now.
There were still about two or three months left before the Changchun Sect started recruiting disciples, which should be enough time for him to prepare.
After setting up in Everjoy District, he planned to first deal with the Blood Killing Gas issue of his own body and then trade Fish Cultivator’s magic Artifact within Everjoy District.
Next, he would buy some books about Foundation Establishment to get a detailed understanding of the situation when advancing from Qi Cultivation to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Without breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would still feel uneasy and lack confidence.
Because just three days ago, in the outer area of the Eastern Region, the Dark Moon School and the Moon Watching Sect seemed to have officially started a conflict.
Chen Dengming once heard the roar that sounded like thunder from a great distance.
He looked back from a distance, but he couldn’t see anything.
He only saw the spiritual boats of the Longevity Sect occasionally flying over, suggesting that the situation was very tense.
This situation made him worried, reminding him of the matter about the Demon Star.
The Dark Moon School and the Moon Watching Sect, after all, are only small immortal gateways.
Within their sects, the Golden Core cultivators are only in the early stage.
No matter how much they fight, it should not alarm the colossal entity that is the Longevity Sect.
However, strange as it is, as a minor Qi Cultivist, he couldn’t intervene in these matters.
It wasn’t realistic for him to ask these factions to stop fighting for the sake of the Fish Selling Guy.
He still needed to focus on his cultivation.
…
Time flew by, and a month and a half passed.
It was now midwinter.
In a forest outside Everjoy District.
On the evergreen cypress trees hung fluffy and heavy snow clusters, glistening like jade carvings.
Suddenly, bursts of roaring accompanied by animal cries echoed from within the forest, causing the large clusters of snow to fall.
Immediately, the tree canopy of a large tree burst open with countless leaves and snowflakes.
A demonic beast that looked like a glossy black panther sprang out from the tree crown, spreading its wings intending to fly away.
But at this very moment, the sky darkened, and two iron claws emitting spiritual light combined into an Iron Fist and fiercely pounded down.
The black panther roared, vomiting a bolt of lightning from its mouth, and blasted the Iron Fist away.
But at this moment, a transparent net-like magic artifact descended from the sky, instantly entrapping the black panther.
The spiritual light flickered, contracting rapidly.
“Roar──”
The black panther roared furiously and struggled, causing the net to fluctuate.
But ultimately, it descended heavily to the ground, blasting away a large amount of accumulated snow.
“Behave!”
Chen Dengming cast the Gold Touch Skill, metallising the black panther’s two hind legs, then stepped closer.
The snares of the web emitted a spiritual light and secreted a paralysing venom causing the strength of the black panther’s struggles to gradually reduce.
However, just as Chen Dengming started getting closer, the black panther roared, suddenly struggling and snapping, opening its bloody mouth and attacking fiercely through the hole in the net.
Chen Dengming frowned.
From deep within his bone marrow, the Blood Killing Gas surged.
