The place where this tea shop is located is remote and desolate, with thin spiritual energy, and there is not even a decent second-rate sect around.
Any cultivator with a little bit of ability would not stay here for long, which is why the man who took action can rely on his cultivation level that has not even reached the foundation-building stage to act so arrogantly here.
But after running into a tough guy, the man showed his flexibility and adaptability: he immediately admitted his mistake and swore by his inner demons that he would never come near this place again.
With the tacit consent of the leading youth, he ran away as fast as the wind, holding his bleeding fist.
The more lively girl behind him seemed a little dissatisfied with the easy let-off and whispered, "Senior Brother!"
But she was pulled by the sleeve by another girl, and she shook her head slightly at her.
Under everyone's gaze, the three of them stepped into this teahouse that was out of place for them.
The whispers around him were silent for a moment, then became louder. The tea shop owner came over in person, thanked him carefully, and respectfully led him to the seat of honor.
The three of them adapted well to the situation of being in the spotlight. The gentle girl who persuaded her companions even went to the unconscious guy and fed him a pill.
The quality of the pill was extraordinary. Moments after taking it, the chest of the unconscious waiter calmed down and his face regained some color. Naturally, he was thanked profusely by the people in the tea shop for this.
The noise just now was indeed quite loud, but after cleaning up the remains of the tables and chairs, everything seemed to be back to normal, except for the fact that a few tables and chairs were missing from the shop, it seemed that there was no difference from the past.
Or perhaps this kind of thing is the norm in this unsupervised place, and has become so common that it does not attract any attention. Instead, it was the three rare disciples from large sects that attracted the attention of the people in the teahouse from time to time.
The young man had no expression on his face since he came in. The girl who looked more lively was still sulking because she couldn't teach the man a lesson. The girl next to her who had taken out the elixir was comforting her with gentle words.
Lou Kongyu had originally planned to leave, but because of the pattern on the hem of his clothes, he stayed for some reason and focused his attention on the three Taihua Sect disciples.
He was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should ask about his previous guess.
He felt that if he asked, the Immortal Senior would definitely not hide anything. However, during the past year of getting along, he also noticed that the Immortal seemed reluctant to talk about his past. If he asked rashly, would he annoy the Immortal?
Chu Lu didn't notice Lou Kongyu's conflicted thoughts. Seeing that his attention was focused on the disciples of Taihua Sect, he just thought it was his first time seeing disciples from a big sect and was curious.
Compared to this, he glanced thoughtfully at the corner of the tea shop entrance.
In the shadow cast by the door, a young man who looked about the same age as the three people who came later was holding a cup of tea, covering the lower half of his face. His presence had a strange sense of thinness, and if you didn't pay special attention, you would almost ignore it.
However, Chu Lu sensed the other party's exposed aura the moment he was about to attack.
Demonic cultivator...huh?
He didn't deliberately remind me of anything.
The child of destiny in this world belongs to the evil side. If the plot develops normally, the Taoists and the evil practitioners nowadays will not fight and kill each other as they did in the past, so there is no need to be so vigilant.
But it is still somewhat strange that a young demon cultivator appears here.
And there are disciples from Taihua Sect as well. What happened here?
Chu Lu hesitated for a moment whether to remind Lou Kongyu to leave this place and stay in another city, but he gave up the idea after just a moment. The path of cultivation is to fight against the heavens. If you avoid dangers and obstacles first, you may achieve nothing in the end.
Moreover, among the three Taihua Sect disciples who came over earlier, only the leading boy was at the foundation-building stage, and the two girls who followed were only practicing Qi. Although the young demon cultivator he noticed was quite good at hiding his aura, in terms of cultivation, he was on par with the young sword cultivator from Taihua Sect.
If you think in this way, even if there is danger, it will not be too serious.
At worst, he is there to watch over you, so you don't have to worry about your life being in danger.
Because he was always curious about the past of immortals, Lou Kongyu pricked up his ears and listened for a while to the conversation between the three Taihua Sect disciples.
Perhaps because they were outside, the three did not talk about the sect's affairs. After the girl who spoke first let the monk go, she began to grumble about the environment of this place, and another gentle female voice comforted and encouraged her. However, the boy who was called "Senior Brother" by the two had been drinking tea silently since he came in, without saying a word.
After listening for a while, Lou Kongyu did not gain nothing. The three people seemed to be here to investigate something because of a sect mission.
However, Lou Kongyu was not very interested in these things, and his mind was full of thoughts on how to ask the immortal.
But even after he finished the refill of spiritual tea in his hand, he still couldn't find a suitable way to start the conversation.
He left the spirit bead dejectedly and left the teahouse. But before he could leave, he was stopped by the teahouse attendant, who thanked him again for his action of saving his companion and refused to take his spirit bead no matter what.
To be honest, Lou Kongyu didn't think much of his behavior just now. If he had to say something, the only comment would be "Not only did he not help, he almost got himself involved."
Although the immortal did not say anything about this reckless, impulsive and rash behavior, Lou Kongyu felt ashamed in his heart and felt that he had failed to live up to the immortal's advice.
After reluctantly acknowledging the waiter's thanks, Lou Kongyu was about to step out when he suddenly glanced towards the door of the tea shop as if he had sensed something and happened to meet the eyes of a young man.
A subtle feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, but when the waiter next to him asked in doubt, "Did the benefactor lose something?", Lou Kongyu's thoughts were interrupted and the strange feeling could no longer be found. He shook his head at the waiter and continued to leave.
Qian Chen, who was being watched, clenched the cup in his hand.
That kid is... a little weird.
Just now when Lou Kongyu was confronting the male cultivator, Qian Chen wanted to take action for a moment.
It’s not to save Lou Kongyu.
The principle of "the strong prey on the weak" may be covered by etiquette and morality in the world of cultivation, but it is indeed a naked truth in the demon world. Qian Chen didn't think there was anything worth saving about a child who didn't know his own abilities and went to seek death.
On the contrary, there was something strange about the man who did it...
However, they were a step too late and were overtaken by the people from Taihua Sect.
But after those three people came in, it became difficult for him to take action.
Because of Lord Ling Hua, the relationship between the demons is not as tense as it was in the past, but it is also far from the point where they would allow a demon cultivator of unknown origin to walk freely in the territory of the cultivation world.
If those old stubborn Taoist practitioners knew about this, they probably wouldn’t even be able to enter a state of meditation, and would wish they could send a spiritual power to keep an eye on him for twelve hours.
If that was Qian Chen's real intention, then naturally the more chaotic the situation was, the better. He was happy to cause trouble for those old Taoists.
But if those people use this as an excuse to cause trouble, and allow loopholes to be exploited in the constraints that Master Ling Hua had established with the Heavenly Dao Oath, Master would probably skin him alive and hang him up when he returns.
Thinking of this, Qian Chen shuddered and sat down obediently, hiding his body.
But are there people coming from Taihua Sect as well?
If you think about it, it's not surprising.
The Taihua Sect's acting head should be even more vigilant than his master about this suspected violation of the oath.
What's more, this is on Daoxiu's territory.
The young man who took action must have realized something was wrong, so he let the man leave.
——Aren’t all these Taoists useless?
With such emotion, Qian Chen felt that he could take advantage of Taihua Sect to avoid this mission.
This is originally a matter on the Taoist's territory, so it is only right for them to handle it themselves.
Thinking of this, Qian Chen concealed his aura with peace of mind, ready to just stand by and watch, but he didn't expect that he would be noticed.
People were coming and going in the tea shop, but except for Lou Kongyu who had just left, no one noticed the young man in the shadow by the door. Even the waiter in the shop seemed to have forgotten about this young man and did not come over to refill the tea.
Qian Chen looked at the reflection in the almost untouched cup of tea in his hand, thoughtfully.
The kid did notice him.
And it’s weird…
He recalled the expression on Lou Kongyu's face when he rushed over just now.
When the little ghost came to his senses, he was normally panicked and afraid...but he was not worried about death.
Is there anything you can rely on?
Quite interesting.
Although he met several people from the Taihua Sect and a boy who seemed a little strange in the teahouse, for Lou Kongyu, other than that, today was no different from the past.
He left the tea shop and went to the city as usual, exchanging the several spiritual herbs he had dug and the furs of the monsters he had hunted for spiritual beads.
However, this is not his usual practice.
Generally speaking, he would directly replace the spiritual herbs with the ones he needed. Under Chu Lu's guidance, he learned a little bit of medicine refining. Although he was still far from the level of making pills, he could still make simple medicine. And because of his past experiences, his physical condition was particularly weak compared to that of normal cultivators, so he did need the help of medicine to adjust.
Chu Lu was in a state of meditation most of the time, and seldom spoke except for giving instructions on cultivation. But this time, after noticing the iron sword in Lou Kongyu's hand, he was still a little surprised.
This is just an ordinary piece of iron. In the mortal world, it can be said to be "capable of cutting iron like mud", but according to the evaluation of the cultivation world, it is not even a magic weapon.
Lou Kongyu asked anxiously: "Senior...Senior, can I learn sword skills?"
After spending a year, Chu Lu finally got Lou Kongyu to change the strange titles of "Your Excellency the Immortal" and "Your Excellency" to the more normal "Senior".
In fact, in his heart, Lou Kongyu would rather call him an "immortal".
Although in the world of cultivation, cultivators with a little bit of cultivation will be honored as "Immortal Master", but that is different. It is not the same as those so-called cultivators who rely on their cultivation to bully others. The seniors are truly immortals who sit in the ninth heaven but are compassionate.
In the past, he always listened to whatever Chu Lu taught him. This was the first time that Lou Kongyu made his own request.
Chu Lu's consciousness swept across the ordinary iron -
Sword?
This is really...
After a long time without receiving a reply, Lou Kongyu became a little panicked. He whispered: "I'm just asking. If it doesn't work, if it doesn't work..."
Chu Lu interrupted his incoherent words and said, "I am not a sword cultivator."
Lou Kongyu was stunned for a moment and understood this as a rejection.
Lou Kongyu felt more surprised than disappointed. The immortal senior had left him with a deep impression of being "omnipotent", so when he heard such words, his first reaction was disbelief.
He was just hesitating about what to say, but then he heard Chu Lu continue, "There's not much I can teach you."
Lou Kongyu: “……?!”
Is this a promise?
