The buildings in Yunmengfang City are divided into three circles. The innermost is a street of shops, and also the residences of the children of the Bishui Sect and large families.

The circle in the middle is a shared courtyard.

Compared to the outermost houses, the security is greatly improved. At least the uncles from the Bishui Sect's law enforcement team are close by, which is somewhat deterrent.

Shen Lian now lives in the outermost area. The cultivators living here are often betrayed by the evil cultivators.

Now that he could earn spirit stones, he began to think about moving.

There was no way to do that before. No matter how scary the demon cultivators were, they were still scarier than poor people.

Now that he had some spirit stones, the terrifying power of the demon cultivator had risen to the first place.

However, he met with a setback in the General Affairs Hall.

The monks of the Bishui Sect really deserve to die.

They all have donkey faces.

The outlying buildings are rented out in an unnamed manner, only the nameplate will be recognized.

If the rent is not paid on the first day of the month, the Bishui Sect's law enforcement team will come in the next day and clear out the house.

Casual cultivators are like leeks, being harvested again and again when it comes to renting houses.

If the monk happens to be in the wilderness and has no time to come back, he can only rent a new house.

Shen Lian currently lives at No. 9 Heiyan Lane, South District of Fangshi.

He rented three new houses, two of which were located in the streets in front and behind his residence, only thirty meters apart.

It’s just right to use the earth escape talisman.

The other one is in the western area of ​​Fangshi.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows. He first made four dens for himself and escaped when there was danger.

Instead of returning directly, I went to the alley where I rented the new house and took a walk around.

The specific locations of the three houses were determined to avoid any unpleasant consequences if he ended up at the female Taoist friend's house when escaping underground.

After returning to his residence in Heiyan Lane, Shen Lian sat cross-legged on the bed and began to rest and breathe.

I was also thinking about the next path of cultivation.

The matter of the mineral vein is still fermenting, and there is no certainty as to when the Bishui Sect will personally take action.

One hundred pieces of talisman paper should be used to draw talismans to dispel miasma as soon as possible, so as to earn the spirit stones first.

the next day.

After getting up, Shen Lian lifted the quilt and began to draw talismans.

He did not draw the talisman to dispel miasma first, but instead drew talismans such as the earth escape talisman and the mysterious talisman for his own self-defense.

After all, it's not safe to stay in your own house.

This small, thin wooden house can protect against most of the casual cultivators, but it cannot protect against the evil cultivators.

With four nests, he didn't believe that he would be unlucky enough to encounter four nests of demon cultivators at the same time.

After the drawing was completed, Shen Lian directly took out the earth escape talisman and activated it.

He tried to escape underground twice and rehearsed it in advance, hiding in a new house in the next alley respectively.

The drill results showed that the distance and target were accurate.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

Da da da.

The door rang!

Shen Lian, who was practicing, suddenly became nervous.

In Yunmengfang City, he lived a secluded life and his only friend was the Fifth Girl.

Shen Lian opened the door and saw the middle-aged monk who was his neighbor he met a few days ago.

"My name is Yang Li. I moved here a few days ago and came to visit you specially."

As he spoke, Yang Li bowed and clasped his fists.

Shen Lian did not reject it coldly, and also clasped his fists in return.

"I am Shen Lian."

Yang Li did not enter the room, but Shen Lian's room was so small that he could sweep it clean at a glance.

The ink bottle left over from making the talisman was lying at the foot of the bed, and Yang Li could see it clearly.

"So Fellow Daoist Shen is a talisman master?"

"I can focus on my craft and earn some spirit stones for cultivation."

Yang Li nodded with empathy.

He had no doubt about Shen Lian's words.

The hundreds of arts of cultivating immortality, whether it is refining elixirs or making talismans, are extremely resource-intensive.

For independent cultivators who have no family behind them, they are so poor that they have to eat dirt. It is more difficult for them to become talisman masters than for cultivators from a family.

"It is not easy for us monks. We can either risk our lives or work hard to improve our skills."

Yang Li sighed and then opened the invitation.

"By the way, a mineral vein was discovered outside the market town. Fellow Daoist Shen, are you interested in going to take a look together?"

Yang Li's sudden invitation made Shen Lian alert.

Is this person sick? Do I know you well?

"I recently had an appointment with Manager Weng of Jubao Tower to draw talismans, so I don't have time."

"You are actually familiar with the manager of Jubao Tower. Good luck."

The managers of Jubao Tower have a cultivation level of at least the seventh level of Qi training.

There is a monthly salary and commissions from the purchase and sale of spiritual objects. That is the life that independent cultivators yearn for.

"You are so familiar with the manager of Jubao Tower. It seems that you are too modest about your talisman-making skills."

Yang Li then said, "If I need talismans in the future, I hope Fellow Daoist Shen will give them to me."

"Of course, of course."

After seeing Yang Li off, Shen Lian closed the door with a confused look on his face.

He and Yang Li didn't know each other at all.

It would be too abrupt to invite someone to my house just because we live next to each other and we have known each other for a few times when we went out.

After thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't figure it out.

Shen Lian secretly kept a watchful eye in his heart.

Nightfall.

He neither practiced nor slept, but just lay quietly on the bed.

His breathing was steady, as if he was asleep.

But in his hands he held the talismans of fire, earth escape, etc. that he had made himself.

As soon as there was any movement, he escaped.

…

Next door, in Yang Li's room.

As night fell, a demonic aura filled the quiet room.

Chi Chi——

A spotted snake, about the thickness of a finger and about one foot long, crawled out.

It was clearly a demon snake, but the spotted snake's eyes were as red as blood, and it released demonic intent.

"senior."

Yang Li's body trembled involuntarily.

"How about it?"

The cold voice was imprinted in Yang Li's mind.

"Senior, the Taoist next door is a talisman master. He may be familiar with the manager of the Gathering Spirits Tower, so I have excluded this person from my target."

Yang Li lowered his voice and recounted exactly what happened during the day.

The spotted snake stood in front of him, with its tail coiled up and its upper body upright, like a meditating monk.

"You did a good job. I am not in good condition right now. If there is any risk of complications, we must avoid it directly."

The voice of the spotted snake sounded.

"It's all thanks to the good teachings of our predecessors."

"Don't choose a complicated relationship."

"Those who form gangs are not selected."

"Those who are too strong will not be chosen."

"Don't choose those who are unsure of the depth."

"You won't go wrong if you follow the rules of your predecessors."

"There are other cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training in this alley. I will definitely select the right person for you as soon as possible."

Yang Li knelt on the bed and bowed his head towards the spotted snake.

"Within three days, select the next blood food, the ancestor's magic..."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I will be able to select blood food for you tomorrow."

"Remember, be careful and don't cause trouble for the ancestor. Once the ancestor has been dormant for a period of time, you can..."

"Yes, yes, I will keep the rules set by the ancestors in mind."

Yang Li knocked his head on the bed, trying his best to show that he was well behaved.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, the ancestor required that the people selected should try their best to avoid the risk of complications.

Today, he went to visit his fellow Taoist Shen Lian.

The strength of the fourth level of Qi training is suitable for the ancestor's selection.

But this person is a talisman master, and it is said that he is related to the manager of Jubao Tower.

A casual cultivator who is related to the manager of Jubao Tower and lives in a house in the outer area of ​​the market town looks a bit suspicious and it is unclear how true his words are.

He doesn't even take the mineral vein mission, it's obvious that he's just a stay-at-home cultivator.

Yang Li was too lazy to pay attention to him. There were many cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training in the market town.

The time he has to verify the truth of his words is enough for the ancestor to be open-hearted to the next Taoist friend.

Therefore, Yang Li excluded Shen Lian.

As expected of the ancestor who rebuilt the building, he deeply admired how cautious he was in doing things.

The ancestor is really too steady.
