That’s right, the neighbor next door is the guy who visited me in the South District before.
What a coincidence.
After Yang Li walked out of the room, he was a little surprised to see Shen Lian.
What a coincidence.
He nodded at Shen Lian and immediately closed the door.
Shen Lian also nodded and closed the door again.
In the following days, Shen Lian once again began his business of earning spirit stones.
But three days later.
A loud scream once again broke the tranquility of the early morning.
Shen Lian looked out through the newly created crack in the door.
The monks gathered in the alley and gathered outside a house not far away.
Someone's here again...
"How come this guy is so lucky?"
In the crowd, Shen Lian saw Yang Li again.
He was whispering with the people around him and pointing towards the house where the accident happened.
As he was thinking, an idea suddenly popped up in Shen Lian's mind for no reason.
"Could this fellow Taoist be a demon cultivator?"
Most cultivators would subconsciously avoid anything related to demonic cultivators, so why is this fellow Daoist Yang approaching them?
Some demon cultivators are like this.
I am obviously cruel and ruthless, but I pretend to be an upright and wise man.
Of course, there are also some upright cultivators who play even more extravagantly than the evil cultivators.
In this world, no one can tell what is evil or what is right.
Although the evil cultivators have not found him in the past six months.
But through Shen Lian's careful observation, he found that the demon cultivators all liked to appear at night and were very sincere to people.
But at night, no sound of fighting was heard at all.
Even the victim’s doors and windows were intact.
It was not until the next day when the smell of blood filled the air that people discovered another corpse.
He committed the crime repeatedly and was able to ensure that the victim did not resist every time.
Is it possible that every time I go out to work, I have the goddess of luck on my back?
Either the demon cultivator will act quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.
Or they have no moral principles and use despicable means to subdue the person first.
Shen Lian prefers the second one.
Just like the fellow Taoists who wanted to harm him before, these people knew to poison him first.
The methods used by the evil cultivators are even more treacherous, and there's no telling how elaborate they are.
"Alas... no matter how cunning you are, you still have to move to the small courtyard in the middle."
He is not afraid of trouble, but trouble always finds him, which is troublesome.
After I killed a fellow Taoist in the alley, I felt much more peaceful for the next half month.
The whole thing is like a sacrifice.
After another ten days or so, Shen Lian could no longer hold it in, so he packed his things, opened the door, and headed for the shopping street.
Treasure House.
Weng Xia carefully examined the patterns on the miasma-removing talisman.
After checking all the talismans one by one, a smile appeared on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, I will still charge eight spirit stones for this batch of anti-miasma talismans."
"Thank you."
Shen Lian bowed and clasped his hands.
This time he brought a hundred talismans to dispel miasma.
After entering the Jubao Pavilion, you will see people buying talismans to dispel miasma nearby.
The selling price in Jubao Pavilion is only seven spirit stones.
Weng Xia still collected it according to eight spirit stones. No matter whether he had other ideas or not, the spirit stones in his hands were real.
"Brother, take a look at these miasma-removing talismans."
Weng Xia reached out and took out a stack of more than a dozen miasma-removing talismans from behind the counter.
Shen Lian took these miasma-removing talismans in his hands.
"This spiritual pattern is intermittent. I'm afraid it won't be powerful enough after being activated."
"There's a problem with this one right from the start."
…
Shen Lian saw at a glance that there were more than a dozen talismans to dispel miasma, and none of them was of top-quality quality.
"Brother, you said you don't have enough experience in making talismans. Is there any flaw in the talisman that escapes your eyes?"
"Some of these miasma-removing talismans were sent by disciples from the sect as practice pieces, and some were collected from other talisman masters."
"I won't hide it from you. I have experimented with your miasma-removing talisman."
“Brother, after your miasma-removing talisman is activated, it can expel miasma within fifty feet and last for a quarter of an hour.
"And these miasma-repelling talismans have different ranges of expelling miasma, the largest of which is only thirty meters."
Weng Xia said.
"It's not very durable either. It's good enough if it can last for half a quarter of an hour."
"Brother, are you interested in continuing to cooperate with me?"
“I couldn’t ask for more.”
Shen Lian agreed immediately.
Even if Weng Xia restored the original price and bought his anti-miasma talisman, he would have no way to counter it, and would offend the old man instead.
Now it seems that both sides benefit and everyone is happy.
Besides, Shen Lian also wanted to get some information from Weng Xia to see if he could leave Yunmeng Market early.
One hundred anti-miasma talismans and eight hundred low-grade spirit stones.
"Brother, the houses in the middle area are now vacant."
Before Shen Lian asked, Weng Xia told him.
"Ding No. 23 Courtyard, don't be afraid to spend your spirit stones, act quickly, there are many people who want to rent the house."
At this time, Weng Xia came closer and said something stealthily.
"Courtyard No. 23 Ding?"
Shen Lian nodded, and when he was about to ask what was different about this courtyard, he found that Weng Xia had already gone to greet other guests.
When Shen Lian arrived at the General Affairs Hall, he found that the hall was crowded with monks.
The Steward Wang whom he was looking for was surrounded by monks.
"My fellow Taoists, the allocation of housing needs to be decided by the Foundation Establishment Ancestor, and Wang is the one who is in charge."
"I am the old ancestor's vanguard. I will do whatever the old ancestor tells me to do."
"It is Wang's responsibility to serve you fellow Taoists."
"We are still counting the houses in the market. We estimate that it will be sorted out in less than half a month."
"We will sort it out as soon as possible and let everyone rent a suitable house as soon as possible."
Wang Yang had a smile on his face as he escorted the wandering cultivators around him out of the General Affairs Hall.
After seeing everyone leave the General Affairs Hall, Wang Yang's fake smile disappeared completely.
He spotted Shen Lian in the crowd and nodded imperceptibly.
Watching Wang Yang return to the room, Shen Lian looked around and walked in quickly.
"Daoyou, long time no see."
Watching Shen Lian enter the room, Wang Yang did not move from his seat behind the stone table, but a smile appeared on his face.
"I have some free time today, so I came to visit Steward Wang."
Shen Lian clasped his fists.
Wang Yang motioned Shen Lian to take a seat, and without delay, he said, "Daoyou came at the right time. I happen to have a few extra rooms."
At this moment, Wang Yang did not hide anything at all, which was completely different from what he said outside.
"I want to rent Courtyard No. 23, how much is it?"
Wang Yang narrowed his eyes and leaned back, "It seems that fellow Taoist has a close relationship with Manager Weng Xia."
"...I remember that you said you wanted to share the rent. If we share the rent of this courtyard, it will cost fifty spirit stones a month."
Having said this, Wang Yang lowered his voice.
"But... if you want to rent it, you need to pay an additional fifty spirit stones."
Swoosh——
The next moment, a small pile of shiny things appeared on the stone table in front of Wang Yang.
Swoosh——
The shiny thing disappeared.
It's as if it never existed.
Only the smooth patina is sparkling.
