Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Improving Spiritual Root Qualification

Fa Li narrowed his eyes and immediately saw the man's face clearly.

"The person who comes here is not good!" Zhou Xun was secretly vigilant in his heart.

This person's name is Wei Shangren, and he and Zhou Xun are both Lingqi servants of Miaofu Pavilion.

The two of them were quite at odds with each other. It should be said that this person had been causing trouble for Zhou Xun.

This Wei Shangren is usually an arrogant and domineering master in Miaofu Pavilion.

Because he has an elder brother who is a talisman-making apprentice in Miaofu Pavilion, he bullies other handymen with no background many times.

When Zhou Xungang joined, he was also bullied by this person, but fortunately, he quickly gained the appreciation of the manager, which made Wei Shangren quite afraid.

But he also held a grudge against Zhou Xun and often caused trouble for him, so the relationship between the two has never been good.

Wei Shangren also saw Zhou Xun at this time and greeted him from a distance:

"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, you are back, Wei has been waiting for you for a full hour!"

Zhou Xun raised his eyes slightly when he heard this, and casually raised his hands:

"It's Brother Wei. I wonder why you come to this humble house?"

"Yesterday when I saw Brother Zhou didn't come to work, Wei was quite worried. After asking about it, he found out that Brother Zhou had been fired, so he came to visit and see Brother Zhou!" The young man said something pleasant, but his face was filled with confusion. It was a mocking expression.

"Brother Wei's kindness is appreciated by Zhou!" Zhou Xun said perfunctorily before taking out his token and opening the door.

Wei Shangren hurriedly stretched his hand forward, stopped in front of Zhou Xun, and laughed loudly:

"Brother Zhou, why should you refuse someone thousands of miles away? Although you and I have some disagreements, we are working together for the first time, so why don't you invite me in for a cup of spiritual tea?"

Zhou Xun frowned slightly when he saw this, and immediately moved his right hand to move his arm across his body.

"Brother Wei, why do you have to be so pretentious? Since you are a bad guest, Zhou won't stay any longer, so please do it!" Zhou Xun was too lazy to make excuses.

"Hahaha, Brother Zhou is still so accurate in judging people!"

"That's right, Mr. Wei came here specifically to watch your jokes today. You often oppose me on weekdays. It's so happy that you finally ended up like this. When you go back, Mr. Wei will drink three large bowls of wine to celebrate!"

Wei Shangren was smiling all over his face, glanced at the west, and said with a smile:

"Looking at you coming back from the west today, you must be looking for work. What, the work outside is not easy! Hahaha!"

"Brother Wei, there is no need to worry about it now!" Zhou Xun was calm and did not take his ridicule to heart at all. He held the token in his left hand, injected mana into it, and hit a green light at the door.

Then he pushed the door open and entered.

At this time, Wei Shangren's low voice came from behind:

"Aren't you curious why you were fired?"

Zhou Xun chuckled lightly when he heard this:

"Who else could be involved in this matter besides you, Brother Wei!"

Wei Shangren nodded without hesitation and laughed:

"Brother Zhou is indeed very wise. Four days ago, my brother was promoted to the first-level Talisman Master. After getting the news, I immediately found the supervisor to fire you. With my brother's face, he naturally would not dare to refuse!"

Every talisman master is the core figure of Miaofu Pavilion, not to mention that his brother is only in his early twenties and has the potential to advance to the first level in the future. The steward naturally does not want to offend him.

When Zhou Xun heard this, his expression was calm and calm, without any disturbance, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Wei Shangren said angrily:

"Zhou Xun, you are really good at pretending. Without your job in the shop, I'm afraid you can't afford to rent this house."

"When you are kicked out of Hongyefang, you will have no choice but to live with those wild cultivators outside. You are precarious, and you may die in a smelly ditch one day. When the time comes, Wei will definitely give you two sticks of incense!"

"But I am different. Now I have been recommended by my brother to become a talisman-making apprentice. I will become a talisman master in the future, and from then on I will become the master of Hongyefang!" Wei Shangren paused slightly, with a look of pride in his eyes.

"Then I'll congratulate Brother Wei in advance!" Zhou Xun's expression remained unchanged. As soon as he finished speaking, he strode into the door and ignored him.

Looking at Zhou Xun's back, Wei Shangren cursed hatefully, then turned and left.

Back in the room, Zhou Xun's face was serious.

It turned out that Wei Shangren was responsible for his expulsion. If he lost his job as a handyman in the spiritual contract, he would have no source of income, which would definitely affect his cultivation.

This can almost be regarded as a revenge for blocking the road!

And with Wei Shangren's character, he definitely wouldn't give up so easily, there must be another way to go.

Fortunately, Wei Shangren's brother is now only a first-level low-level Talisman Master. He has not yet become famous and his influence is not great.

As long as they have enough spiritual stones to live in Hongyefang, there is nothing they can do to them.

Fighting is prohibited in Hongyefang, and the rules are extremely strict. Even if you have a grudge, you must leave Hongyefang before fighting, or go to the life and death stage of Hongyefang.

Apart from this, all internal fighting will be punished.

Two hundred years ago, there was a casual cultivator in the early stage of foundation building who secretly killed an enemy based on his cultivation.

The monk died in Hongyefang. The four major families mobilized at the same time and finally investigated the foundation-building monk. The four masters of Hongyefang, Wu, Lin, Sun, and Li, personally took action, captured the man, and killed him in public.

From then on, Hongyefang was respected and a large number of monks settled in Hongyefang. As a result, Hongyefang became more prosperous and ranked among the top five in the entire Xu Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun felt a little relieved.

After a simple dinner, with some anticipation, I entered the quiet room and started daily practice.

After practicing, Zhou Xun opened his eyes with a hint of surprise and a hint of regret.

"I just entered that dreamland yesterday, and it's impossible to enter it again today, but I'm a little anxious!"

"But fortunately, we have finally reached the peak of the second level of Qi training!"

The next day, just as Zhou Xun finished drinking the spiritual rice porridge, there was a knock on the door.

Zhou Xunqi stepped forward, opened the door, and a fat figure squeezed in.

"So it's Manager Lin, why do you have time to come to my place?" Zhou Xun hurriedly asked him to sit down and made a cup of spiritual tea.

The place where Zhou Xun lives is Luliu Lane in the southeast district of Hongyefang. Manager Lin is the house manager in charge of Zhou Xun's alley, and he has a fifth level of Qi cultivation.

Zhou Xun has no friendship with him.

Except for rent collection, the steward never came to the door at other times.

"I heard that you were fired from Miaofu Pavilion?" Manager Lin picked up the spiritual tea given to him by Zhou Xuncui in his left hand, blew it gently, and then took a sip, showing a satisfied look.

"Yes, Manager Lin is very knowledgeable!" Zhou Xun replied calmly.

Manager Lin nodded and said straight to the point:

"You can probably guess why I'm here, it's to collect next year's rent," the fat steward paused, with a hint of complexity in his eyes, and glanced at Zhou Xun.

"But someone gave me a message from above that I will no longer rent this house to you,"

"But I, Lin, am not such a controlled person. I will still rent this house to you, but the rent will be increased by 50%, otherwise I will not be able to account for it!"

“It’s up to you to consider whether to rent or not!”

After saying that, he picked up the spirit tea and took a sip.

"Fifty percent!" After hearing this number, Zhou Xun remained silent for a long time before asking:

"I wonder if the person who delivered the message is named Wei?"

"That's right! That person advanced to become a Talisman Master at the age of twenty-three. He is very popular. There is a good chance that he will advance to the first level in the future. I advise you not to go against this person!"

Zhou Xun nodded when he heard this. He was from Miaofu Pavilion, so how could he not know the status of a high-level Talisman Master at this level?

It is definitely an existence that is no less than perfect in practicing Qi.

"Thank you for your advice, manager. Zhou remembered it. I rented this house!"

Hongyefang is the cheapest house in the Southeast District, and I can't afford to rent anywhere else except here.

Zhou Xun gave a salute and immediately took out 150 spiritual essences and put them down gently.

Manager Lin checked everything correctly, put it away and left.

After Manager Lin left, Zhou Xun fell into deep thought.

Sure enough, as soon as the Wei brothers took action, they hit themselves within seven inches.

Fortunately, Manager Lin was very helpful, otherwise he would not be able to rent a house, so he would have to live outside Hongyefang and rely on his second-level Qi training.

The Wei brothers only need to Sanbo. He is a servant of the spirit contract and has a lot of spirit essence in his hands. He will definitely die without a burial place.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun felt a chill in his heart.

"I still underestimated them. I didn't expect Wei Shangren, who usually cheats and tricks, to be so scheming!"

"You must get rid of them when you have the chance, otherwise you will never have peace!"
