Chapter 176: 100: Do not inquire about the past when we meet, only the green mountains share old knowledge (Big Chapter seeking Monthly Tickets) _3 Chapter 176: 100: Do not inquire about the past when we meet, only the green mountains share old knowledge (Big Chapter seeking Monthly Tickets) _3 Chen Dengming looked at Miss Cheng, saying, “You mentioned you were from the border, are you familiar with the Wind Matter Square?
I have a few friends from the Feng Family.
Have they also met with a great disaster?”
Miss Cheng shook her head bitterly and laughed, “Feng Family was among the first to be destroyed by Demon Cultivators.
Even the Feng Sect wasn’t spared.
A lot of people died.”
“So, didn’t the cultivators in the Wind Matter Square lose everything?”
“I don’t know…
I really don’t know…”
Miss Cheng’s expression was filled with confusion and fear, with tears swirling in her eyes.
“The war broke out so suddenly.
...
It was chaotic, and it happened at night.
After we managed to get out, we all scattered.
Many neighbors and acquaintances had been dispersed.”
Chen Dengming’s heart sank.
At this point, he had a basic understanding of the situation.
Since Chu Xun and Jiang Qiang were not with Miss Cheng, they must have been separated.
Perhaps they were more dead than alive or maybe, good people live long.
However, clearly, Miss Cheng had no idea.
It would not be appropriate to ask her anything more.
Now he had taken on a new identity, a foundation establishment cultivator from the Changchun Sect.
He planned to use Changchun Sect as a stepping stone to join the Longevity Sect in the future, so he couldn’t let this woman know who he really was.
“Very well, you brought me frontline war reports.
I am satisfied, especially with you, Miss Cheng…
I hope my friends from the Feng Family were fortunate enough to escape.”
Chen Dengming sighed, then fulfilled his promise by rewarding them.
With a wave of his hand, Miss Cheng’s spirit stones were returned to her, together with an additional medium-grade Spirit Stone.
As for the others, they also received some rewards, albeit lesser.
Seeing the actual rewards lifted the spirits of the cultivators.
Although these rewards were distributed from their own money, it was certainly better than receiving nothing at all.
Most importantly, this indicated that the Foundation Establishment cultivator had completely reconciled their grudges.
…
A tea time later.
Chen Dengming floated and sat on top of a tree, attempting to calm his mind.
His entire consciousness became more condensed, as a kind of ‘sensory’ power intensified.
His spirit seemingly transformed into an invisible detector, extending rapidly towards the distance.
This peculiar sensory ability was somewhat similar to his subtle perception when he was nearing the state of unity of Heaven and Man.
However, the scope was broader, remarkably resembling the Divine Consciousness power attained by all Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Three days had passed since he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
All the numerous enhancements to his body and abilities that came with reaching the Foundation Establishment stage had now become apparent.
He could now consolidate his spirit into divine consciousness, extending it outward, and sensing the movements within a radius of approximately three miles.
However, this broad-range detection was somewhat vague.
Only when focusing on a particular area would the perception gradually become clear.
At the moment, after Chen Dengming’s divine sense had spread a certain distance, he stopped sending his consciousness on a higher-level journey, focusing instead on the Loose Cultivators who had left not too long ago.
Instantly, the images captured by his Divine Sense transformed into vivid pictures, presenting themselves in his mind.
The figures were indeed the cultivators.
As these people walked and chatted, their voices were also captured by his Divine Sense.
“It seems that the Foundation Establishment cultivator truly had some history with the Feng Family.
This time Daoist Cheng had a blessing in disguise; she gained more than she lost.”
“There’s no need to mention that, we are all victims of the same circumstance.
Daoist Cheng only received a medium-grade Spirit Stone.
We are lucky enough to have survived.”
“Sigh, it was our first time hunting in the mountains.
We failed and lost a lot of money.
It will be harder for us in the future…”
Once assured that nobody was suspicious of him, Chen Dengming withdrew his Divine Sense.
Although he felt compassion for Miss Cheng and wanted to help her, he kept it low-key and only handed over a medium-grade Spirit Stone to her.
With her Qi Cultivation level of five, she should be able to keep it safe.

If he gave her more, the seemingly amiable companions around her could turn into ravenous wolves at any time.
The phenomenon of the strong keeping their peers in check and the weak tearing each other apart was especially conspicuous among Loose Cultivators, particularly when everyone was destitute.
“Ah, don’t ask about past lives when meeting each other, only the green mountains are aware of our old acquaintance,” Chen Dengming sighed, leaping down from the tree canopy.
Below the tree, the Black Cloud Leopard trotted over affectionately.
It opened its mouth, saliva dripping, pointed at itself with a paw, and immediately lay down on its back, stretching out the leg that was often drained of blood.
It was so practiced in its movements that it was heartbreaking.
The leopard was obviously hungry again.
Seeing Chen Dengming appear, it knew a feast was imminent.
It lay down, prepared to cooperate with him in the blood drawing process, and ready to eat to its heart’s content once it was over.
Chen Dengming found it quite amusing.
With a pat on his storage bag, he took out a specially prepared leopard meal full of nutritious ingredients and demonic beast flesh stewed together.
One bite could make one’s nose bleed from its richness.
This kind of leopard food cost Chen Dengming at least forty low-grade Spirit Stones every month.
As the Black Cloud Leopard often ate this replenishing food, its vitality was enough – even to the point it could hold back on its own.
Occasionally providing some blood for Chen Dengming didn’t harm its massive body – on the contrary, it was beneficial.
Over time, this Black Cloud Leopard changed from initially being uncooperative to willingly cooperating more and more.
Chen Dengming didn’t even need to keep it confined in the cave.
The leopard would return to the cave and prepare to donate blood and eat when it sensed that Chen Dengming was due to feed it.
Chen Dengming put down the leopard food and kicked the Black Cloud Leopard, gesturing that it could start eating.
The Black Cloud Leopard looked at him with human-like surprise in its eyes.
This was unexpected luck, and it immediately stood up.
Watching the exuberant Black Cloud Leopard, Chen Dengming shook his head and said, “After the meal today, you can leave.
I don’t need your blood anymore.
If I don’t come to feed you in the future, take care of yourself and hunt…
I hope you haven’t been spoiled by my easy meals.”
The Black Cloud Leopard, after only taking a bite of the leopard food, turned frantic at this announcement.
It immediately turned around and rubbed its head against Chen Dengming’s shoes, whimpering a pitiful “howl,” just like when it first surrendered to him.
Annoyed, Chen Dengming moved his foot away and started to kick it.
“You’re a formidable demonic Black Cloud Leopard with Qi Cultivation of level eight, not a mongrel.
How could you become this gutless after just a few months of my feeding?”
The Black Cloud Leopard continued to whimper and stuck to him stubbornly, its eyes even filling with tears.
It understood the difference between getting one meal and countless meals.
It mustn’t let Chen Dengming go either way.
Chen Dengming frowned, kicked it more, disdaining how it was clinging to him like a dog with a bone.
He should have just drained this beast’s blood when he first got it!
“Damn!
Fine then.
When my Sect Leader returns, if he grants me a cave, you can come and guard it for me as my loyal dog!”
Having a Qi Cultivation level eight Black Cloud Leopard as the guardian creature for a cave was fucking ridiculous but also quite impressive in a weird way.
After all, this was a tamed Qi Cultivation level eight demonic beast, and a Black Cloud Leopard with a high potential at that.
If it reaches Qi Cultivation level ten, its two wings would develop further, becoming even stronger.
It could fly high in the sky, taking the form of a black cloud.
At that time, riding this mount and flying around would give him some status among Foundation Establishment Cultivators…
