The next day, Deacon Zhou came and didn't see Mr. Chen. He stood outside the door and waited for half a day. Only when he saw Mr. Chen show up did he dare to say hello.
This is because it is dangerous for low-level cultivators to be suddenly interrupted while they are refining Qi.
"Deacon Zhou, what are you doing?"
Mr. Chen was surprised that Deacon Zhou, who was lying dead like a corpse, would come to look for him on his own initiative.
"Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to have such a close relationship with Chen Zhenchuan. I'm so sorry."
Deacon Zhou rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed. If the courtyard arranged for Mr. Chen before was better, he would not act like a sycophant when he came again.
But, things have already happened, and all he can do is try his best to make amends.
"I see."
Mr. Chen understood what was going on. Ergou's current status in Guangxiu Xianzong was very high, and it would be even higher in the future. Deacon Zhou saw that he had a deep friendship with Ergou, so he came to show his courtesy.
"This courtyard is really a bit desolate. I have already found a good cave for you to practice in."
When being beaten, one must stand at attention. Deacon Zhou did not dare to use the word "quiet" again, for fear of irritating Mr. Chen. Instead, he spoke the truth. This small courtyard was very desolate, and even among the outer disciples, there were many who disliked it.
Chen Sheng and Chen Ergou have a deep friendship, and Chen Ergou is destined to grow into a high-ranking member of the sect. He cannot be so tactful as to let Chen Sheng continue to stay here.
Before dawn today, he had worked day and night to clean up a top-notch cave for practicing Buddhism. All the items inside were in place, and he was just waiting to invite Mr. Chen to move in.
"No, this place is just what I want."
Mr. Chen looked back at the courtyard. When he came here, it was overgrown with weeds and the ground was covered with dust. It took him some time to clean it up, and now some of the immortal caves have been revealed.
The cloud bed in the room was also stained with his scent, and he had become familiar with it.
He shook his head, unwilling to move.
Apart from the thin spiritual energy in the small courtyard, it was a quiet place, which was what he liked.
"Brother Chen, you are a magnanimous person. Why do you bear a grudge against an old man like me?"
Upon hearing that Mr. Chen was unwilling to move, Deacon Zhou thought that the young man had some resentment in his heart. He was suddenly filled with bitterness and even a little panicked.
Logically speaking, in terms of cultivation, even if Chen Sheng and Chen Ergou were tied together, they would not be able to defeat him.
But that's not how it works.
Chen Ergou has the potential to cultivate into a golden elixir, and his status in the sect is several levels higher than his. With just one word, his identity as a deacon will be stripped away and he will be thrown out to fend for himself.
"I really don't want to move, it's nice here."
Those who give gifts are afraid that the recipient will not accept them.
Mr. Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he still refused sternly, but he softened his words a little. The principle of "the more courtesy, the less blame" is still correct.
"Then... I will hire someone to set up a spirit gathering formation for Brother Chen's yard someday. You can't refuse."
When Deacon Zhou saw Chen Sheng's strong refusal, he realized that the other party was not deliberately manipulating him, and he felt a little relieved. However, he still did not dare to be careless. He insisted on asking someone to set up a spirit gathering formation for this dilapidated courtyard to increase the concentration of spiritual energy.
By doing this, he will have an excuse to explain himself if Chen Ergou blames him later.
"good."
There was nothing Chen Sheng could do but smile and nod.
After Deacon Zhou left, Mr. Chen turned around and walked into the room. He took off his brocade boots and stepped on the cloud bed with his white socks. He suddenly felt the courtyard swaying as if a strong wind was passing through.
"Mr. Chen, come and see me quickly."
The cold sound, filled with the anger of wind and snow, echoed in the empty sky.
Mr. Chen was completely confused and didn't know the reason. He turned around and opened the door, only to see a reserved and arrogant figure. Her eyebrows were slightly raised, full of anger and a little confusion.
"Inner sect disciple Liu Shao, what is she doing here?"
Chen Sheng secretly complained in his heart. On the day of the Ascension Conference, he realized that Liu Shao, a mortal nobleman, had a high opinion of himself. Although he did not show it, he looked down on him, a useless person and outer disciple, in his heart.
I am not coming here today just to keep in touch with friends.
"How did you get along with Chen Ergou?!"
Liu Shao held her breath, waiting for Chen Sheng to ask questions first, but Chen Sheng remained silent, just looking at her with a pair of calm and distant eyes.
So, she could no longer put on airs and could only reveal her purpose.
She heard today that Chen Ergou and his elder brother Chen Sheng were having a pleasant conversation in the dilapidated courtyard.
This shows that Chen Ergou didn't look down on the people below him because of his high status, but because he was not familiar with her and Mrs. Wu.
Yes.
But what he got in return was Chen Ergou's indifferent response.
Compared with the day of the Ascension Conference, Chen Ergou's scheming and scheming has undergone tremendous changes. Sometimes, one can tell what she is thinking just by a glance.
This transformation made her unable to understand how a peasant could have such terrifying potential. To say that he "turned a snake into a dragon" was an understatement.
And because of this transformation, it is even more meaningful to make friends.
But...
She and Wu Taisheng treated Chen Ergou as a treasure, while others treated them as weeds and they could not get into each other's hearts at all.
So she came here today to ask Mr. Chen how to open up to Chen Ergou.
Of course, given her status, she couldn't make the proper gesture of asking for advice, she just gave Mr. Chen a chance to express himself.
Mr. Chen had a very accurate view of people like Liu Shao. Don't get too entangled with them. If you get too entangled with them, you will be considered as currying favor.
If you ignore her, she will keep pestering you like a dog-skin plaster.

"If Ergou likes to eat something and it's not right, you have to beat and scold him, and he will be obedient."
Chen Sheng wanted to get rid of Liu Shao as soon as possible, so he told him about his experience of searching for immortals with Chen Ergou. That silly guy always ate a lot and would continue eating even when he was full.
For this reason, he lectured Chen Ergou many times, and when he got angry, he would kick him.
"Don't you want to lie to me?"
Liu Shao was dumbfounded. This was different from what she had imagined. She originally thought that Mr. Chen was a person who was very good at winning people's hearts and manipulating human nature, and that what he said would be extremely profound.
She didn't want this method to be too plain and simple, as if it were fake, and she couldn't believe it.
"What I said is all from experience, I can't guarantee anything else."
Sincerity is the secret weapon.
Liu Shao and others could not understand it.
After Chen Sheng finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the room. Outside, Liu Shao's expression changed again and again. He looked at the closed door and finally left in anger.
The sun's rays changed from blazing golden to dim, and the mountains faded from indigo to black.
At that time.
The sound of insects is melodious and the sky is full of stars.
Chen Sheng sat on the cloud bed, his white clothes whiter than snow. He took out the storage bag given by Chen Ergou from his waist. He opened it and poured out a Qi Condensation Pill.
The Qi Condensing Pill is the best pill for the Qi Refining Realm, with a moderate and mild effect. The one in his hand is round and shiny, with a faint smell, but it is very pure, without a trace of flaw. It is a top-grade pill.
"Practice..."
The candlelight illuminates the elixir, and the elixir glows faintly.
Chen Sheng made a gesture of scooping water with his palm and put the Qi Condensing Pill into his mouth. The round pill went straight into his stomach and melted on the ground. It was as gentle as the sun's light or as surging and gentle as the hot water from a spring, warming his body and heart.
Boom boom...
The health-preserving meridians moved accordingly, and Qi flowed through the meridians. In the bright light, an extremely complex meridian map could be seen shining.
The medicinal power of the Qi Condensing Pill was blocked and separated by the meridian map, and was guided onto the right path like a king controlling a flood.
After circulating through many meridians, the medicinal power turned into wisps of powerful green magic power and fell into Chen Sheng's dantian.
On the path of cultivation, Mr. Chen walked steadily and without any irritation, just proceeding as quietly as water.
There was no conversation that night, and the medicinal power of the Qi Condensing Pill was completely refined.
"My qualifications are average, is that so?"
Chen Sheng felt the increase of magic power in his dantian, and finally understood why the immortal sect did not like people with mediocre qualifications.
If Chen Ergou were to refine this Qi Condensing Pill, the magical power produced would far exceed his.
Qualification determines the efficiency of refining and transformation.
Life is short, and ordinary people only live for a few decades.
A cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage can only live a few decades longer. A cultivator with average aptitude will, in 99% cases, not be able to survive the Foundation Building Stage.
Mr. Chen felt that he had wasted the cultivation resources given by Chen Ergou. The return was too low. It would be more cost-effective for him to meditate and refine his Qi on his own.
