"You don't know!"

When Wang Yuanfeng saw Chen Sheng's expression, he thought of something and became very shocked. This enemy who had fought with him to the death turned out to be a complete outsider.

"In this case, you will surely die."

Sima Yan said with shame and anger.

The matter of the underworld blood involves too many complications. Even those who are involved in the game, who have set up networks everywhere, are still trembling with fear. An outsider who rashly comes in without protection will definitely be wiped out.

“Boom…”

As soon as they finished speaking, the two men revealed the might of the Nether Blood Dao, with wisps of black mist lingering around their bodies and their faces were haggard, like evil gods walking out of the abyss.

A terrifying aura was spreading. Sima Yan and Wang Yuanfeng pushed their hands sideways. The offensive was so powerful that it flooded every inch of space. There was no room to move, neither in the sky nor on the ground.

"clang"

Chen Sheng drew his sword, and the star-slashing light was brilliant, like the true face of the starry sky in the universe, with a powerful force that could kill through the vast world.

The black fog rolled and the sword light reversed, like a dragon covering the sea and turning the sky upside down, revealing all kinds of strange visions.

Sima Yan and Wang Yuanfeng had indifferent expressions as they pressed forward step by step, swallowing two drops of Hades' blood, which contained terrifying energy and pushed their power to the peak.

Chen Sheng had no choice but to retreat temporarily, and his sword flashed down to hinder the enemy's progress.

"call"

Wang Yuanfeng spat out a mouthful of blood and sacrificed a half-broken branch of the fairy peach tree. This rare treasure came back to life, took root in the ground, and turned into a huge tree that covered the sky. It dropped a divine light like a pure golden chain, which tightly entangled Chen Sheng.

"Blue Sea Tide Rising Sword Technique"

Sima Yan also used a killing move. With a turn of the sword, the sky turned blue and desolate, the waves were surging, and wisps of sword light were jumping. If a mountain was thrown into it, it would be crushed to pieces.

"boom"

Where Chen Sheng stood, there were branches of fairy peach tree trapping the enemy, and in front of him there was a terrifying sword intent pushing across. He activated the Sun Xi Divine Illumination Body and transformed himself into a god of war.

Blood rushed into the sky, he broke free from the restraints and punched out, shattering all directions. In the vastness, a golden fist floated up and down, rushing into the sword energy rising from the blue sea, causing a violent collision.

"I can't take down two people."

After the crisis was resolved, Chen Sheng did not smile at all. With the blessing of the Nether Blood, the two people from Fangcheng were too difficult to deal with and he could no longer suppress them.

"He's leaving."

Wang Yuanfeng saw that Chen Sheng had no intention of getting entangled, but he was unwilling to do so, so he directly sacrificed the peach blossom fairy wood branch, brushing off layer of spiritual energy, like a sword or wind, blocking and strangling an area.

"kill!"

Sima Yan's sword was extremely sharp and flew out like a thunder. The fiery and domineering aura burned the void. The sword intent was ferocious and terrifying.

"Buzz"

Chen Sheng glanced at the two of them and sacrificed the exquisite pearl. In an instant, a powerful aura dispelled the incoming attacks. His body was bathed in divine light, sacred and immortal, but he had no intention of lingering and walked away into the air.

…

The laundry lane and the courtyard are quiet and peaceful.

Butler Zhao was bored and most of the time he would walk around the courtyard with a broom in his hand.

With a creak, the gate was pushed open and a young figure walked in, with slightly disheveled hair and a hint of smoke.

"Sir, you... have made a breakthrough."

Butler Zhao's face lit up with joy, as the boss had returned and he discovered something strange, or rather, felt something was not right.

Even deeper and more mysterious.

right.

It's like a valley, becoming deeper and deeper, from being unable to see the bottom clearly to being bottomless.

"Yes, he is already a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage."

Mr. Chen said calmly.

There were many things hidden in his heart. Although he was happy about the breakthrough in his cultivation, it only lasted for a moment and he soon returned to calm.

"I am actually fortunate enough to serve a Yuanying ancestor."

Butler Zhao had a different emotion, his face flushed red. For a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it was indeed a blessing for him to be able to look after the home of an old ancestor in the Nascent Soul Stage.

"No matter what..."

Mr. Chen waved his hand.

He is who he is, and this does not change because of the level of his cultivation. When he was a Golden Core True Man, he was gentle and polite to Manager Zhao, and when he was a Nascent Soul Ancestor, he was also gentle and polite.

"The Yuanying Ancestor has a lifespan of three thousand years. I cannot live that long. This courtyard needs someone to look after it. I am begging for a favor from you, young master. I hope my descendants can look after your house and courtyard in the future."

Butler Zhao had no doubt that this was the most glorious moment for his lineage. Without hesitation, he performed a great ceremony, only hoping that his descendants would continue to look after Mr. Chen's family.

Although the identity of a steward cannot be high-spirited, being the steward of a Nascent Soul ancestor is definitely respectable.

"If you want your descendants to do this kind of chores, then after you pass away, let them take over."

Mr. Chen saw that Butler Zhao's body had become hunched over, and that the lifespan of a person at the Foundation Establishment stage was too short after all. He was touched and agreed.

"Yes, yes."

Hearing this, Butler Zhao was overjoyed, his old face wrinkled into a flower, and he did not forget to remind him: "Young Master, you must remember this."

He regarded this as a great opportunity, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it and was determined to make a deeper impression on Mr. Chen.

“Yes.”

In response, Mr. Chen did not show any impatience, but responded gently and solemnly.

When Butler Zhao was happy, another person walked in through the open courtyard door. When he saw Chen Sheng, he said in surprise, "Master, you are back from going out."

This was naturally Mo Huan, who had always held Chen Sheng in high regard with the mentality of an "apprentice", and was extremely respectful and trusting of him.

"Some things need to be dealt with. It's very troublesome."

When Mr. Chen saw Mo Huan, he also smiled.

The people who gather around him are all people who are close to him in ordinary life. There are no conflicts of interest, and all their care and thoughts are from the heart.

Therefore, he treated them with the same sincerity and seriousness.

"Yes, for example, it's time to go take a look at your spiritual herb shop."

Mo Huan once asked Chen Sheng what he was busy with, but was ignored. Later, he learned that Hu Yun, who was guarding the storage room, and Chen Sheng had been to Yunze once and attacked a Nascent Soul level cultivator.

From then on, he understood that there are some things that are better not known.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten it."

Chen Sheng and Mo Huan smiled innocently at each other. When he heard about the spiritual herb shop, he remembered that he had accepted a commission in the past. After successfully refining the Huangya Fuqi Pill, he would receive another reward.

"Go there tomorrow. The employees in the shop admire you very much, otherwise they would have left long ago."

Mo Huan reminded.

He had seen that hired worker, or servant, many times and thought he was really good. He made his boss, Mr. Chen, look so out of touch with the world.

"worship?"

Since Mo Huan mentioned it, Chen Sheng would certainly go and take a look, but he had never been in that spiritual herb shop, nor had he come into contact with the employees. The so-called worship was a bit too strange.

Mo Huan smiled bitterly. Although Chen Sheng was no longer a famous figure in the martial arts world, his legend remained in the martial arts world. The discovery of three Huangya Fuqi Pills in Huanyi Lane had already confirmed his identity as a top-notch third-rank alchemist.

Such a master of alchemy was very famous. When the news spread, a small spiritual herb shop attracted several first- and second-level alchemists to do odd jobs. Unfortunately, Chen Sheng had never been there, and those people waited in disappointment and finally dispersed one by one.

The hired worker he was talking about was the last one and the one who persisted the longest. In addition, he had a gentle and optimistic personality, so he always gave him a good look every time he met him.

…

Purple Lingtang.

This is a small and exquisite shop. On the side facing the street, there are some fresh spiritual herbs, and behind the wall is a row of wooden shelves with densely packed squares, on which are placed finished pills.

The person working is a young man, who looks like a teenager, but also has some youthful characteristics. He is bright, cheerful and confident, with light in his eyes and a yearning for the future.

"Why hasn't my boss come over yet? Has he really ignored Zi Lingtang?"

Fuling sprinkled a little water on the spiritual herbs beside them, making them look more beautiful. Although it didn't have much effect because of the jade box between them, he felt that this could attract some popularity.

When no one was paying attention to him, he would also think. What he thought about the most was naturally the owner of Zi Ling Tang, the unknown but extremely famous third-level alchemist.

There is naturally no answer to this question, and he will also enlighten himself.

"No, every inch of land in the God City is worth a lot of money. Even though the Purple Ling Hall is small, it is still very valuable."

In fact, he felt quite comfortable staying in Zi Ling Hall. Those second-level alchemists were too big to fit in a small temple. His other first-level peers had exhausted their patience and left in disappointment.

It seems that this place is really deserted and has no future.

But he knew that as long as Chen Sheng came back to take a look, sat for half a day, and displayed the skills of a top third-level alchemist, he would immediately get rid of his dejection and rise to the sky.

"clatter"

At this time, there were footsteps. Fu Ling looked over and said familiarly, "Senior Mo Huan, you brought your friends to take care of Zi Lingtang again."

From his understanding of Mo Huan, he knew that he was a good person who often brought business to Zi Ling Tang and tried his best to support the situation.

As for the other person, he took a look and felt that this person had an extraordinary aura. Standing next to Mo Huan, he actually seemed to overshadow him.

"Silly boy, why don't you pay your respects to your...boss?"

Mo Huan didn't know how active Fu Ling's thoughts were. A smile appeared on his face, and he told Fu Ling to be quick and seize the opportunity.

"Boss..."

The young man who was staying in the Purple Ling Hall was shocked at first, then he looked like he was about to cry with joy, and said, "I am Fu Ling..."

It’s like a lost traveler who finally found a harbor.

"Fling, you did a great job."

Mr. Chen praised.

When the future looked bleak, he was able to persist for so long and still remain optimistic, which really shows his character.

"Will the Dong family return to Zi Ling Tang?"

Fuling was happy, but also a little nervous, fearing that his joy would be in vain.

The difference between having Chen Sheng in charge of Zi Ling Tang and not having him in charge of it is like the difference between heaven and earth. The same is true for his life.

"I will come here for one or two days every month from now on."

Since Mr. Chen kept Zi Lingtang in mind, he would not ignore it and gave a good excuse.

"Very good……"

Hearing such affirmative words, Fuling's mouth corners curled up slightly. He didn't want to show his feelings too much, but he couldn't suppress it, and it became even more serious.

There's nothing he can do about it, he's just too happy!

"You can take on some alchemy commissions in the future."

Zi Ling Tang is not big. At a glance, it is just an ordinary spiritual herb shop. The pills displayed on the wooden shelves are all the most common first and second-level pills. It is a hard-earned money.

The spiritual herbs on the desk were even more ordinary, without even any exotic species. It was a completely ordinary shop.

With Chen Sheng in charge, things will certainly not remain unchanged, but will change in a good direction. An alchemist who has touched the fourth level of alchemy has this ability.

"Boss, are you going to take action?!"

Fuling's voice became a little louder, and one could see that he was very restless. After waiting for so long, he finally saw the rise of Zi Ling Tang.

"Well, I will refine some high-level pills, and you can watch them refine some low-level pills. Don't be afraid of ruining them. When you grow up, you can refine pills for Zi Ling Tang better."

Chen Sheng wants to make Zi Ling Tang stronger and also use this opportunity to hone his skills. Although his realm has been raised to the Nascent Soul Realm, the fourth-level alchemy path is still unclear and requires contemplation.

"I will try my best."

The fourth level of alchemy was too profound for Fuling, so he did not think too deeply about it. He only focused on the present, full of energy, and not afraid of difficulties and challenges at all.

He had long understood a truth: no matter whether it was cultivation, alchemy, or anything else, being able to work hard and climb upward was always a kind of luck, and more often it was in vain.

…

Guarding the storage room.

Mr. Chen returned here and looked at the vast collection of books and some old friends, feeling peaceful and happy.

He saw the keeper of the treasure house and respected the old man very much, also because of Mo Huan, otherwise he would have been dismissed for coming home late so many times.

“A breakthrough…”

The keeper of the warehouse had a very deep impression of Mr. Chen. Coming home late on time was one point, but it was actually not very noticeable.

When I first took notice of this young man, I was attracted by his demeanor, which was too extraordinary. After learning that he was acquainted with Mo Huan, I became even more concerned, fearing that he might be a scheming person.

Later, he got to know Mr. Chen and felt completely relieved about him. He even thought it was a blessing for Mo Huan to be with such a person.

He couldn't say what would happen in the future, but he believed that this subordinate would do better than him.

"It's a pity that I can't fight alongside you."

Hu Yun walked over and realized something halfway. He looked at Chen Sheng and sighed.

He is already old and is stuck in the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm. However, Chen Sheng has made a breakthrough. Thinking of how they joined forces to overthrow Yunze ten years ago, he couldn't help but sigh.

"That's not difficult. I can just attack Jindan Zhenren."

Mr. Chen was joking. Hu Yun couldn't deal with the Yuanying ancestor, but he could deal with the Jindan Zhenren. If they joined forces to bully the weak, wouldn't they be able to dominate all directions?

"Hahaha……"

Perhaps it was because he saw Chen Sheng comforting him, or maybe it was because he was an old Yuanying ancestor who was willing to speak kindly to him, a Jindan Zhenren, anyway, Hu Yun smiled, and his heart suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Woo woo woo"

The sound of the flute started to blow. It was Xiao Feng playing music. There was some joy, a blessing for Chen Sheng's great improvement in cultivation. There was also some relief, and hope for himself.

He had seen a little darkness before, hiding in the storage room, looking like a bright and sunny person.

I thought the days would just pass by like this.

However, with the arrival of Mr. Chen, he realized his own shortcomings. His free and detached attitude was like a hanging garden that could not withstand the wind and rain and would fall down with a push.

Now, Chen Sheng has become an old man in the Nascent Soul stage. It is time for him to come out of his self-exile and continue his not-so-bright path as a genius.
