Chapter 657 Time and Coffin Shop
Qingling City, an inn and shop.
"Brother, let's go, leave Qingling City, and come back later."
"good."
The man nodded and said, "Just in case, we two brothers and sisters will go separately. You go through the south gate and I go through the north gate. We will bypass Baiyang City and Huashi City and finally meet at Qingxiao Valley."
The woman next to her nodded after listening to her eldest brother's words. If they went separately, they could confuse the Wang family, and even if they were discovered, they would not be caught all at once.
After agreeing on where to meet in Qingxiao Valley, the brother and sister left the inn, and the girl went straight to the south gate. The sooner they left, the better, while the Wang family hadn't taken action against them yet.
The man also headed towards the north gate after leaving the inn, but after reaching the northern area of the city, he did not go towards the north gate, but turned into the Qingling Market nearby.
He had no intention of leaving Qingling City, and his previous words were only meant to get his sister to leave Qingling City.
He wanted to stay and kill the Wang family to avenge his parents.
The Wang family is one of the three major families in Qingling City. There is an ancestor who has established the foundation in the family. However, the highest cultivation level of his parents is only the seventh level of Qi Refining. As for himself, he is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, which is far from the strength of the Wang family.
Cheng Jun knew very well that if he went against the Wang family, it would be like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm and overestimating his own abilities. However, he would not be able to get over it if he just left like that.
His sister asked him to leave first and come back for revenge after he had achieved success in his cultivation. However, Cheng Jun knew that if he really left, he would never have the chance to take revenge again.
The one who killed his parents was the son of the head of the Wang family, who was at the fourth level of Qi Refining like himself. However, given his identity and the resources of the Wang family, the gap between himself and Wang Cheng would only widen.
His sister has been well protected by his parents and himself since she was a child, and she doesn't know the hardships of cultivation. Without the protection of her parents, with his and his sister's realm, it would take a lot of time to obtain all the resources for cultivation, let alone concentrate on cultivation to improve their realm and seek revenge.
Cheng Jun learned that Wang Cheng often came to Qingling Market. What he had to do was to stay in Qingling Market, kill Wang Cheng unexpectedly, and then escape quickly. It would be best if he could escape, but if he couldn't, he would just follow in his parents' footsteps.
As for telling his sister that the Wang family would hunt them down, that was completely a lie to his sister. Before he took action against Wang Cheng, the Wang family would not pay any attention to him and his sister. Even in the minds of the Wang family's top leaders, they probably didn't even know that he and his sister existed.
Cheng Jun walked aimlessly on the streets of Qinglingfang City, and finally stopped in front of a shop.
"Time is money, can time be exchanged for money?"
gold.
Cheng Jun was not unfamiliar with this. There were many ordinary people in the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Qingling City. These ordinary people used gold and silver as money, just like the spirit stones of the cultivators.
With curiosity, Cheng Jun walked into the store.
The shop is very simple, with only one counter.
"What do you want to buy?"
A faint voice came from inside the counter, and a young man stood up from inside the counter.
"Boss, you don't have anything to sell?"
Cheng Jun was a little curious. There wasn't even a counter. What did this shopkeeper sell? "All my items are custom made."
"custom made?"
"Whatever you want, you can get it as long as you pay enough."
"You can satisfy anything? You are too arrogant, boss. What if I want the Foundation Establishment Pill?" Cheng Jun didn't believe it.
"Don't even mention the Foundation Building Pill. As long as you can pay the price, you can even get the Foundation Building Pill."
Hearing this, Cheng Jun was stunned. Looking at the faint smile on the shopkeeper's face, he didn't know why he had a feeling that the shopkeeper was bragging. "Shopkeeper, are you serious?"
"Don't cheat anyone, young or old."
"If I want to build a foundation, what price will I have to pay?" Cheng Jun asked.
"With your physique, a hundred years of life can be exchanged for a quarter of an hour of foundation-building strength."
"A hundred years of life?"
Cheng Jun frowned. He was at the fourth level of Qi Refining and his remaining life span was exactly about a hundred years. This meant that he would have to exchange his life for a quarter of an hour of foundation building.
If he had established his foundation, then as long as Wang Cheng left the Wang family, he could take the other person's life. Even if the Wang family had an ancestor who had established his foundation, it would not be in time for emergency treatment.
It's worth it to avenge my parents with my own life.
After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Cheng Jun looked at the shopkeeper, but the next moment he suddenly smiled bitterly. It was obvious that the shopkeeper was joking. How could there be any method in this world that could directly allow one to enter the stage of foundation building from Qi Refining?
"Shopkeeper, stop joking."
"Do the guests think I'm joking?"
The young man smiled and took out a wooden pillar from under the counter: "The guest can take this wood. If you want to exchange it, just carve it into the guest's image. The moment the wood carving takes shape, the guest will enter the foundation-building stage."
"Remember, only the guest can carve it himself, and it cannot be done by outsiders. And if someone else carves it, the carver will not be able to enter the Foundation Establishment Stage."
Cheng Jun looked at the wood in front of him. It was not a spiritual wood, but just an ordinary wood that ordinary people used to make door and window beams.
"Can't you give it to others?"
"Of course. Different people have different exchange goals and different prices. This piece of wood is specially prepared for guests."
Seeing that the other party still had a serious face, Cheng Jun didn't say anything else. He picked up the wood and walked out of the shop.
…
…
Fangshi Inn.
Cheng Jun put the wood on the table and had no intention of carving it, because he did not believe what the shopkeeper said. He just did not want to identify it with the shopkeeper, so he took the wood away.
The next moment, Cheng Jun took out a bottle of pills from his arms. This was the Chongqi Powder that he had bought with all his spirit stones. It was a special medicine specially prepared for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.
Taking this medicine can bring out the strongest strength. He is now taking it for Qi Refining. After taking Chongqi Powder, his realm will be at the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining within an hour, and he can even fight against the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Qi Refining cultivators, especially low-level cultivators like them, don't have many good things on them, but Wang Hao is the son of the head of the Wang family, he must have certain means of protection, so he has to take drugs.
Three hours later, Cheng Jun's aura reached its peak, and Chongqi San had already taken effect.
Chongqi Powder can last for seven days, but it also has side effects. After seven days, the spiritual power in the body will decrease. If there are not enough pills to replenish it in the next three years, the spiritual power in the body will be only half of the original. Unless there is a great opportunity, it will be difficult to improve your realm throughout your life.
But for Cheng Jun, it was enough. He was determined to die and didn't care about the side effects of Chongqi Powder.
The next day.
Cheng Jun went to a window seat on the second floor of the restaurant, from which he could see people walking on the street. This was the main street of Fangshi. If Wang Hao appeared in Fangshi, he would have to pass by the street in front of the restaurant. Now he just had to wait for Wang Hao to come to Qinglingfang.
Wang Hao did not show up for three consecutive days, but Cheng Jun was not in a hurry. Based on what he had learned about Wang Hao's character, he would definitely come to the market within five days, unless he was at a critical juncture.
But Wang Hao had only entered the fourth level of Qi Refining for a short time, so it was impossible for him to break through to the fifth level so quickly.
If Wang Hao really didn't come during these seven days, it could only be said that Wang Hao was lucky, and God didn't want him to lose his life so early, so he would leave Qingling City.
Just as Cheng Jun was waiting, there was suddenly a noisy sound coming from the street ahead. Cheng Jun frowned, but did not walk out of the restaurant to look. He just looked through the window towards the source of the sound.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Jun's expression changed instantly.
His sister actually appeared on the street, and was captured by the Wang family guards, covered in blood.
"I knew you, the Cheng family, would have evil intentions. You are such ungrateful wolves. Your parents died at the hands of a monster. I was kind-hearted and gave your family 50 spirit stones as compensation. Not only are you ungrateful, you are even trying to kill me!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Bah, you hypocrite! If you hadn't attracted the monster and threatened my parents to cover your retreat in order to escape, how could my parents have died!"
Cheng Xi's face was full of hatred. His parents went to Datong Mountain to look for elixirs. Wang Hao took a few tribesmen into the mountain to capture monsters, but they didn't expect to encounter a monster of the eighth level of Qi Refining. His parents were kind-hearted and went there after hearing the noise. As a result, Wang Hao threatened his parents with the lives of his siblings and asked them to cover their retreat, while he himself escaped from Datong Mountain.
This Wang Hao is the son of the clan leader. His grandfather is the ancestor who has established the foundation. He has a tracking incense on his body. When this incense is lit, people within a mile radius will be stained by the fragrance which cannot be washed off. This is a well-known fact among the cultivators in the entire Qingling City.
The Wang family uses this method to protect Wang Hao. If anyone dares to assassinate Wang Hao, he will be hunted down by the strong men of the Wang family.
Wang Hao lit the tracking incense on the spot, and his parents were contaminated. If Wang Hao died, the Wang family would definitely not let his parents go, and would also implicate their brothers and sisters. His parents had no choice but to fight a life-and-death battle with the monster, and finally died at the hands of the monster.
Although it was a monster that killed their parents, in the eyes of Cheng Xi and his sister, Wang Hao was the culprit.
Afterwards, the Wang family hypocritically sent fifty spirit stones as compensation, but there were many cultivators nearby at the time, and several of them heard Wang Hao's threatening words. After inquiring, the brother and sister found out the truth.
After being told the truth, Wang Hao stopped pretending and said with a cold expression: "Tell me, where is your brother hiding?"
"I can't possibly tell you."
"Master, I have plenty of ways to make her speak."
An old man next to Wang Hao spoke with a smile, and his eyes were full of evil when he looked at Cheng Xi.
At this moment, Cheng Jun couldn't help but want to break the window to save his sister, but in the end he suppressed the impulse, only because Wang Hao was guarded by three powerful men of the seventh level of Qi Refining.
"I was still too naive."
Cheng Jun smiled bitterly. He wanted to get his sister away, but his sister had the same idea as him. She also wanted to avenge her parents and then get him away.
At the same time, Cheng Jun also figured out one thing. He was afraid that Wang Hao had always been on guard against them. How could a kid from a big family be so stupid? It was only because his parents saved him after all, and the Wang family couldn't touch him openly, otherwise his reputation in Qingling City would be completely ruined. Therefore, he deliberately set up a trap to lure him and his sister in.
What should I do? Cheng Jun looked anxious. If his sister fell into Wang Hao's hands, she would be in a fate worse than death. He had to find a way to save his sister.
But even after taking Chongqi Powder, he could only exert the strength of the fifth level of Qi Refining at most, which was still a long way from the seventh level. If he rushed out now, not only would he fail to save his sister, but he would also die in vain.
Wood carving?
A thought flashed through Cheng Jun's mind, and the next moment he no longer hesitated. He immediately left from the back of the restaurant and returned to his inn.
Even if he didn't believe what the shopkeeper said, he had no choice but to take a gamble.
…
…
The next day.
Qingling City was shaken. Wang Hao, the son of the head of the Wang family, and dozens of senior members of the Wang family were all killed.
The Wang family's foundation-building ancestor was seriously injured. It is rumored that the one who attacked the Wang family was also a foundation-building expert, and also a cultivator from Qingling City.
It is rumored that this mysterious foundation-building cultivator was persecuted by the Wang family when he was in Qingling City. Later, he left Qingling City, got an opportunity outside, and came to seek revenge on the Wang family after building his foundation.
On this day, the entire Qingling City was in chaos. The other two major families in the city launched a full-scale attack on the Wang family. All Wang family members who were above the fifth level of Qi Refining were killed, and a few low-level Qi Refining cultivators were imprisoned. The female members of the Wang family were divided up by the two families, and their fate can be imagined.
In the chaos, no one noticed that there was a new wooden sculpture in the Time Shop.
The appearance of the man in the wood carving is lifelike, but the only flaw is that his eyes are not open, which makes him lack a bit of liveliness.
…
…
Liang Dynasty.
Daning County.
Dynasties come and go, but Daning County remains forever.
A coffin shop opened.
《Keep You Peaceful Coffin Shop》
The young shop owner visited the neighbors who had been released from lockdown after the coffin shop opened, saying that they could now enjoy discounts when buying coffins.
The natural result was that he was scolded by his neighbors and even beaten up by some bad-tempered men.
But you know what, the effect is pretty good.
The whole Daning County knows about the existence of such a coffin shop.
But the people in the county have also expressed their opinions that they will never go to this coffin shop to buy coffins, so the young shopkeeper can just wait to starve to death.
