The Ming family’s recruitment standards for guest cultivators are roughly on par.
No wonder he dares to hunt Demonic Beasts…”
Chen Dengming thought to himself, but he was not interested in hunting Demonic Beasts for the time being.
He had not entirely grasped the situation at the Moonlight Market yet.
As for how powerful the surrounding Demonic Beasts were, he couldn’t say for sure.
For now, He could set aside his combat training, as he had fought so much recently that he felt nauseous.
Furthermore, there was no conflict or external threat looming in the immediate future.
...
The most pressing task was to focus on improving his own power level.
He stepped out of his house and went to the bustling marketplace, where he bought a Cleaning Skill, assessed the prices of other goods, and then spent five low-grade Spirit Stones to buy some medium-grade Spirit Rice and Spirit Vegetables; enough to last him a month.
Upon returning home, Chen Dengming officially closed his doors to the outside world and began intensive cultivation.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Without any fanfare, he broke through to Qi Cultivation Stage Seven, joining the ranks of high-level Cultivators.
At this level, even if he entered Cultivation Families like the Luo or Zhu family, he could be treated as a distinguished guest and receive a rich salary with great resources as a senior worshipper.
However, this was still just the status of an elite henchman.
Cultivation Families didn’t keep idle people.
When he first stepped into the Cultivation World, what Chen Dengming longed for most was to become a Cultivator.
After becoming a Cultivator, what he longed for most was to become powerful quickly, to become a high-level Qi Cultivator.
But now, after genuinely becoming a high-level Qi Cultivator, he felt there was no excitement or surprise.
It might have been because he had once personally killed a Qi Cultivation Stage Seven cultivator.
Or, it might have been because he had fought with cultivators of this caliber multiple times.
Now, having reached this power level himself, he thought it was only natural, and there was no cause for excitement.
“I’m becoming complacent.
After all, I am a high-level Qi Cultivator now, I must pride myself a little, I can’t be free of excitement!”
In the house, Chen Dengming stood in front of a mirror, releasing spiritual might, forcing a terrified expression on his face, forcing himself to be excited for a moment.
In the end, he felt indifferent.
The breakthrough just happened, and it wasn’t exciting anymore, not as exciting as watching the Mini Array Spirit’s dance performance.
Perhaps it was because of his diligent daily cultivation, having put in enough sweat, that he was not surprised by this result.
However, he realized that such a mentality was misguided.
It could lead to a lack of enthusiasm in the future, making him lazy in his cultivation.
Chen Dengming reflected in solitude, maintaining his principle of self-reflection three times a day.
In the past month of seclusion, he had mastered the Skill of Transforming Decrepitude into Glory to the beginner’s level while the Vajra Shield Skill reached the master level.
The breakthroughs in power level and Daoism skills directly increased his lifespan to 367 years, leaving him with 129 years to spare.
129 years, that is one thousand five hundred and forty-eight months.
One month of cultivation is insignificant.
“Continue the cultivation until the rent is due, and then it’s time to leave.”
…
In the evening, Chen Dengming went out again and bought another batch of Spirit Rice and Spirit Vegetables in the Spirit Rice Shop in the market.
On the way back, he ran into his neighbor, Chu Xun, the butcher cultivator, selling meat nearby.
At once, he spent five low-grade Spirit Stones and purchased tens of kilos of Demonic Beast meat in one go.
“The weather is getting hotter now, so make sure you preserve the meat properly.
Don’t let it go bad.”
When Chen Dengming bought several kilos of meat at once, Chu Xun, his neighbor, seemed quite pleased and reminded him with a smile,” This is the meat of a Stage Four Qi Cultivation Demonic Beast.
It took me and a partner quite some effort to bring it down.
As you only eat meat and don’t hunt, you won’t realize how hard it is to hunt Demonic Beasts.
Don’t waste it.
I once hunted a Hyena Demonic Beast.
The taste, oh, boiled dog meat is so delicious that even gods would lose their footing.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t sell it all, and some went bad…”
“Thank you for reminding me, fellow cultivator Chu.
I will treasure this meat.”
Chen Dengming politely replied with a smile.
Chu Xun waved his hand and only realized something strange after Chen Dengming had left.
He muttered to himself in curiosity.
“This neighbor of mine, I haven’t seen him for a month.
The array of his house is always active, and he hardly leaves, I wonder how does he earn a living?
He’s quite mysterious…”
…
After returning home with the tens of kilos of meat, Chen Dengming cut off a piece.
The rest of it was sealed with BroadSword Qi emitted with the Ice Spirit Sword.
As for Stage Four Hyena meat, he had eaten it too much, and was somewhat disgusted.
The saying ‘Boiled dog meat can make even the gods lose balance’ did not affect him anymore.
Luckily, what Chu Xun had hunted was a Demonic Beast similar to a wild boar.
He had selected a piece of tender meat from the back of its neck, which should be tastier than Hyena meat.
Now that his daily needs have been completely taken care of, he intends to remain in seclusion until he breaks through to Qi Cultivation Level Eight.
Given his current pace of cultivation combined with the array, he can accumulate fourteen practice points for the Three Elements Spirit Gathering Skill every day.
With this estimate, he only needs about two months to break through.
The feeling of steadily cultivating in such a peaceful environment, and experiencing rapidly improving power levels, is genuinely gratifying.
Being in such a desolate place in the Southern Region, he could hardly have imagined this before.
As Chen Dengming reveled in his situation, he almost forgot his initial aspirations.
He felt that his situation was like an ancient proverb: ‘Content with food and clothing for a hundred years, now wearing blue robes with gray hair on his temples.
It’s futile to struggle with others: the true aim is to pursue eternal life and live with ease.’
However, while he was happily cultivating, the Luo family on the other side was heading steadily downhill.

Their situation, which had changed dramatically in the past month, was indeed pitiful.
Fortunately, just a few days ago, Miss Luo, Luo Bing, used a Foundation Establishment Pill she had obtained from Luo Family’s son-in-law.
After a setback, she successfully entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, giving the Luo Family a breather at a critical moment and opening up new alternatives…
