Chapter 236: 124-125: Cultivating Wealth Requires Planning, People’s Hearts are Changeable, Rely on Maintenance (Two in One for Monthly Pass)_4 Chapter 236: 124-125: Cultivating Wealth Requires Planning, People’s Hearts are Changeable, Rely on Maintenance (Two in One for Monthly Pass)_4 He gathered his focus with a cold huff, and pointed his finger in an instant.
A bolt of lightning accompanied by flames appeared mid-air, and the Divine Change Saber was materialized by his divine sense.
In a split second, it formed into a dazzling giant saber over twenty-four meters long.
Electrical arcs jumped across the saber’s body which then swung out, clashing fiercely with the blood-red ghost face.
Bang!
Throw!
——
A string of booming sound echoed, as if a giant empty oil drum was bouncing down the stairs.
...
The blood-red ghost face was brutally torn open, displaying a splendid white light from the cracks as it exploded.
In the next instant, the surrounding darkness and illusions all receded.
Chen Dengming regained consciousness, opening his eyes inside the Heart Refining Cave.
He felt his divine consciousness was depleted and he had exhausted himself quite a bit.
He glanced at the calmed Array Flags around him, then at the ten medium-grade Spirit Stones inside the recess near the Array Plate on the ground that had already shattered, and shook his head slightly.
Too costly.
Attempting to challenge a higher difficulty level of the Heart Refining Cave once used up ten medium-grade Spirit Stones, enough to buy a copy of “Roving Qi Transforming Gold Skill”.
However, what just appeared was a demon cultivator of the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
This real battle wasn’t really a loss.
In a normal day, if he encountered this type of demon cultivator, and couldn’t defeat it, his life would be in danger.
“Unexpectedly, my divine consciousness power can now rival that of a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment demon cultivator.
After my spiritual body absorbed the Heavenly Gang lightning power, my divine consciousness also gained a hint of lightning power.
It ended up benefitting me, Sister He’s reward was really good, next time I should continue to be her protector…”
Chen Dengming stood up satisfied, rubbing his slightly dizzy brows, the real battle practice of today was now over.
This Heart Refining Cave of the Changchun Sect was one of the only three special practice places within the sect.
By making a certain contribution to the sect, one can enter for training.
Although the Changchun Sect did not emphasize bravery and fierceness, they would certainly not avoid training the actual combat abilities of the disciples.
They don’t want to raise a group of lambs to be reaped by others, therefore, places like this were available for honing the disciples.
In the past few months, Chen Dengming has been tirelessly looking for Demonic Beasts in the wild to no avail, so he spent his time in a few of the sect’s drilling places, practicing his spiritual sense, Daoism skills, and combat abilities.
Now he is confident that if he encounters the Blood Ghost Taoist again, he would certainly be able to kill him.
“Brother Chen, you’re really diligent in your combat training.
With your abundant energy and strong combat power, why don’t you voluntarily apply to go to the war zone to distinguish yourself?
Maybe you can make a fortune.”
Upon exiting the Heart Refining Cave, a voice with a smile came over.
Chen Dengming turned his head and saw him, greeting him politely, “Turns out it’s Elder Brother Wang.
Elder Brother Wang is flattering me.
With my insignificant cultivation, I should just stick to everyday battle training.
If I really go to the war zone, I would just be serving them an easy target.
I have to continue to cultivate for a while.”
Wang Feixuan sneered, “Humph…
you are afraid of death, aren’t you?
I heard that you have been looking for the whereabouts of the Luo Family in the Eastern Region frontier?”
Chen Dengming’s brows frowned slightly.
This Brother Wang seemed to have some complaints about him.
Still, he nodded.
“Right, the Luo Family had some connections with me.
Brother Wang, do you have any information about the Luo Family?”
“Huh…
No, if I were you, I would go looking for them myself.
All you do is stay in the sect sparring with the air, and even consuming resources.
That’s not right.”
Wang Feixuan dropped these words and walked away, leaving Chen Dengming puzzled.
This Brother Wang, he had paid a visit to him before and the personal terms between them were decent.
Even if they were not on good terms, they were not on bad terms either.
So why is he acting like he’s taken a wrong medicine today?
After leaving the Heart Refining Cave, Chen Dengming remained puzzled and then went to visit Guan Le to ask what was going on.
Guan Le sighed, “Ah, Brother Chen, you do not know, during this period, the war in the four major war zones is very intense.
The Longevity Sect issued an order yesterday that all sects must send two Foundation Establishment Cultivators to the corresponding war zones to participate in the battle.
“This is mandatory drafting, and it rarely happens.
Normally, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators aren’t demanded to go like this.”
Looking at the troubled expression on Guan Le’s face, Chen Dengming was stunned, “Senior Brother Guan, you have not also been chosen, have you?”
Guan Le lifted his eyes, looked at Chen Dengming, and sighed, “I have been chosen!
There’s no way out.
“That Brother Wang does not want to go, which is a human sentiment, He thinks you should be the one to go.
“Because you just joined the sect and have enjoyed a lot of benefits, but haven’t fulfilled many obligations, But he has accomplished a lot for the sect.
He believes he didn’t need to go, you should be the one to go.
That’s why he confronted you.
“But Senior Brother Liang said, you’ve just joined the sect not long ago and your breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage was not that long ago either, so they did not choose you in the end.”
It’s said that Master He had put in a good word for you.
Brother Chen, do not take it to heart, let it go!.”
Chen Dengming furrowed his eyebrows, feeling a sudden clarity in his heart.
People don’t fear scarcity, but they fear inequality.
Upon reflection, it seems that it’s not unreasonable for Wang Feixuan to think this way.
Perhaps even Guan Le would think the same way, but because they are close, he would not say it outright.
After joining the sect, he achieved Foundation Establishment status within less than two months, received a reward of two thousand sect contribution points and was given direct access to study the Changchun Skill and many Daoism methods.
In addition, he also got access to the sect’s cave dwelling, a second-level Spirit Vein, and was able to receive the benefits suitable for a Foundation Establishment cultivator every month.
Surprisingly, even though he enjoyed such benefits, since he was poor, not many disciples envied him.
However, four months ago, he managed to get the vacant lands to establish a Gu Refining Place, made quite a bit of money with it, and could continue to do so in the future.
His ‘poor’ persona was no longer applicable due to the aid from the sect.
After counting everything, he realized that he has only risked his life for the sect once.
The number of merits he earned, was indeed far less than Wang Feixuan, and yet he enjoyed much more benefits from the sect.
Now, when the sect was choosing people to send to the war zone, it seemed that due to He Yingyu’s persuasion, he didn’t have to go anymore.
Underhand, some disciples might have referred to him as a pretty boy, implying he had been freeloading off He Yingyu, and that’s why he had strong support from Senior Brother Liang.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if no one was jealous; it’s likely that many disciples were dissatisfied.
Chen Dengming once again felt a sense of urgency.
This time, he didn’t have to go into battle.
But what about next time?
Senior Brother Liang said that once the Eastern Region responds, the Demon Cultivators would soon be driven back to their lair.
But “soon” could mean any length of time, which is currently unknown.
Now that there’s some resentment within the sect, it’s impossible for Senior Brother Liang, the Deputy Sect Leader, not to know about it.
If he’s not careful, he might be chosen to fight on the battlefield next time.

He needs to cultivate and break through as soon as possible.
Chen Dengming encouraged Guan Le a few sentences, before taking out a couple of high-level talisman and charms that he obtained from his past battles, as well as a few healing potions that he wasn’t using and gave them all to Guan Le.
He never neglected social relationships.
Social relationships needed to be maintained.
Currently, Guan Le didn’t have any complaints about him, but if he neglected this relationship, the situation could change in the future.
It was unnecessary to turn a friend into an enemy.
Those who say real friends wouldn’t care about these things and if they did, they weren’t really friends in the first place, was a childishly naive belief, which should only be heard, and not seriously considered.
After giving away a few farewell gifts, although Guan Le declined, there was less sadness on his face.
His mood seemed to have improved.
Chen Dengming immediately excused himself and left.
He initially wanted to pay a visit to He Yingyu’s dwelling to thank her, but after noticing the looks from other disciples passing by, he decided against visiting He Yingyu’s dwelling.
