"Master, please forgive me. I am Yunshang, the owner of this bar. Please come in and talk." Yunshang, sensing Chen Sanjiang's imposing presence, could not help but lower herself. In front of Chen Sanjiang's strength, Yunshang felt like an ant. She believed that if Chen Sanjiang wanted her life, it would be a piece of cake.
Yun Shang was a young demon who had transformed less than ten years earlier, and her cultivation level was equivalent to that of a cultivator in the early stages of the Foundation Establishment stage. Compared to cultivators, demon cultivators advanced much more slowly. Therefore, Yun Shang was far inferior to Chen Sanjiang, who was in the middle stages of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Chen Sanjiang hesitated. He had never heard of any connection between the Loose Cultivator Alliance and the demon race, but the cultivator who introduced him was an acquaintance of his. He had met him while on a previous sect mission and he was trustworthy.
"Master, I come from Jiyun Mountain. I used to be a subordinate of the great demon Black Bear. Two years ago, everyone in Jiyun Mountain submitted to the Lord. I am a decent-looking little demon, so the Lord sent me here to be the leader." Yun Shang explained her origins softly to dispel Chen Sanjiang's vigilance.
Although Yun Shang's cultivation level wasn't high, she was quite knowledgeable. Ever since she'd appeared, Chen Sanjiang's hand hadn't left the storage bag at his waist. She suspected Chen Sanjiang had some powerful tricks or magical treasure, and Yun Shang was afraid that if she couldn't explain herself clearly, she'd provoke Chen Sanjiang's murderous intent and end up losing her own life.
Yun Shang was not wrong. In the storage bag on Chen Sanjiang's waist was a short sword about an inch long. It was Chen Sanjiang's only magic weapon.
Relying on this short sword, Chen Sanjiang has killed many monsters and eliminated many monks who wanted to kill people and steal treasures.
Sure enough, after hearing Yun Shang's explanation, Chen Sanjiang's murderous intent subsided a little. But Chen Sanjiang still couldn't let down his guard. He stared into Yun Shang's eyes and asked, "Who is your master?"
"My lord, your surname is Lin and your given name is Xiao." Yun Shang lowered her eyelids and answered respectfully.
Lin Xiao, the leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance and one of the most famous figures in the cultivation world in the past two years, is exactly the person he is looking for.
Chen Sanjiang breathed a sigh of relief and followed Yun Shang into the Qingxin Bar.
As Yunchang walked, the lights in the "Qingxin" bar lit up one after another.
The appearance of the Qingxin Bar during the day was very different from that at night. Chen Sanjiang followed Yun Shang for five or six minutes before they walked through a long corridor and arrived at a quiet courtyard.
It seemed like... a spatial formation? Chen Sanjiang was secretly shocked. Looking at the layout of the "Qingxin" bar, it didn't seem like the work of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, which had no inheritance. Could it be that the leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, Lin Xiao, came from a famous family?
Yun Shang waited for Chen Sanjiang to sit down in a pavilion in the middle of the courtyard. After having someone serve him a cup of fragrant tea, Yun Shang sat aside and asked softly, "Master, are you here to see the Lord or to entrust me with something? The elixirs here are quite good. As long as you can afford it, we can even find some less popular elixirs."
"I'm here to see Lin Xiao." Chen Sanjiang pulled a square jade token, about an inch in diameter, from his storage bag and handed it to Yun Shang. Pills? Chen Sanjiang was short on them, but as long as he joined the Loose Cultivator Alliance, surely Lin Xiao wouldn't just ignore them? Thinking of his current impoverished state, Chen Sanjiang was startled.
The jade token was only one inch square, with a large Chinese character for "alliance" inscribed on the front and the serial number 305 on the back. This jade token served as an invitation from the Cultivation Alliance, given to cultivators favored by the alliance. Cultivators invited to join were generally either prominent or highly skilled.
The number on the back indicated that after joining the alliance, Chen Sanjiang would become Person 305. Within the Loose Cultivator Alliance, numbered cultivators were considered mid-level personnel. The alliance would distribute spiritual stones, elixirs, and other cultivation supplies, and their status was significantly higher than that of a minor official like Yun Shang.
After seeing the jade token, Yun Shang couldn't help but look at Chen Sanjiang with envy. Then she bowed respectfully and said, "Welcome to the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Master, please wait a moment. Yun Shang will activate the formation and send you to see the Lord."
The moment Yun Shang mentioned was truly a moment. This pavilion had a small teleportation array set up, and there was a small, inch-wide hole in the middle of the stone table. After Yun Shang placed Chen Sanjiang's jade token in it, it completely blocked the hole.
Yun Shang pulled out seven low-grade spirit stones and placed them in the round holes under the stone table. After a flash of brilliant light, Chen Sanjiang disappeared from the spot.
After seeing Chen Sanjiang off, Yun Shang hurried back to her office on the second floor of the "Qingxin" bar.
Before Chen Sanjiang came to the bar, Yun Shang was negotiating a business deal with someone.
"Sister Yun, you're back?" He Jingjing was sitting in Yun Shang's office, enjoying a delicious snack while admiring the luxurious decoration of the office. Seeing Yun Shang coming back, He Jingjing quickly stood up and greeted her with a wry smile.
Looking at Yun Shang's graceful figure, He Jingjing showed a hint of envy on her face.
It was the first time He Jingjing had ever seen a woman as beautiful and exquisite as Yun Shang. Her sensuality was tinged with allure, and within that seduction, a hint of purity. She was so beautiful she looked more like a fairy than a human. Furthermore, Yun Shang wasn't just beautiful; she was also capable. This bar, "Qingxin," was synonymous with "a den of money" in Kyoto. As its manager, Yun Shang certainly had plenty of money and resources.
He Jingjing looked at the "golden" Yunshang and swallowed her saliva.
"Jingjing, I'm sorry! I had something urgent to do." Yun Shang looked at the "delicious" He Jingjing and secretly swallowed her saliva. Unlike He Jingjing who was attracted to Yun Shang's money, Yun Shang was attracted to He Jingjing's body.
Cultivators and demons are natural enemies. The demon pills of the demons are excellent materials for alchemy for cultivators. After taking pills made from demon pills, cultivators can quickly increase their cultivation.
The flesh and blood of monks is also the best "tonic" for the demons. After the demons devour the flesh and blood of monks, they can also increase their cultivation.
He Jingjing was at the second level of Qi training, and in Yun Shang's eyes, she was like a delicious meal. However, Yun Shang was always cautious, and before she knew He Jingjing's background, she didn't dare to act rashly.
The world of cultivation is incredibly complex. Who knows if He Jingjing, who's in the Qi training stage, has some powerful being like a Golden Core or Nascent Soul behind her? Yun Shang considers herself a fearless demon, and she won't attack He Jingjing until she's fully understood her true identity.
"Sister Yun, did you open this bar? It's so grand." He Jingjing exclaimed as she drank the freshly squeezed juice Yun Shang had specially ordered and ate some delicious snacks rarely found outside. Isn't it grand? They're making a fortune every day!
