Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

"It's better to have a Taoist master in the early stage of foundation building."

For ordinary cultivators, it doesn't matter who guards Chiyanfang City.

With the support of the current Yunshui Sect, the Demon Nest dare not think of attacking Chiyanfang City again.

But for Chu Chen, it is much better to have Taoist master Lingyin guarding it than Taoist master Qingxu guarding it.

He practices a concealment technique called Cangqi Jue, which can hide his own breath and deceive the perception of cultivators.

But this technique has an upper limit and can only deceive cultivators in the early stage of foundation building at most.

If Taoist master Qingxu is here, Chu Chen's hiding is just a joke in front of him, and he can see through it at a glance.

It's different for Taoist master Lingyin.

When Chu Chen's cultivation breaks through to the eleventh level of Qi training, and then he uses Cangqi Jue, Taoist master Lingyin will not be able to see through Chu Chen's disguise.

The guardian of Chiyanfang City was replaced by Taoist master Qingxu and Lingyin, but the entire Chiyanfang City has not changed much from the past, whether it is the trading rules or the cave rental price, there is no change.

After the war, Chiyanfangshi was in the recovery stage. Yunshui Sect wanted to restore the past prosperity of the market, so it would not drain the pond to catch fish.

After all.

There should be more leeks, so it would be more fun to harvest them together.

"Let's rent a cave first."

After saying goodbye to Wang Yuanqiu, Chu Chen went to the office of Yunshui Sect.

In the battle with the demon nest, many cultivators in Yunyanfangshi died, and some caves were vacant.

Cave No. 61 was not rented by anyone, so he simply rented it again, paid the spirit stone, got a new key, and returned to the cave.

In the cave, the traces left by Chu Chen had long been cleared by the cultivators in the market. He spent several hours to re-arrange some traps.

He also opened up the medicine field and prepared to buy some more seeds of nectar flowers and other spiritual medicines to plant.

The next day.

Chu Chen went to the market trading area and set up a stall again.

"Fellow Daoist!"

Some familiar cultivators were surprised to see Chu Chen, but Chu Chen smiled and greeted them.

Soon, they became familiar with each other again.

Several cultivators who had been reminded by Chu Chen thanked Chu Chen and invited him to the Juxian Tower for a gathering, and Chu Chen agreed.

After a busy day, he earned a total of 40 low-grade spirit stones when the stall was finished.

Then, Chu Chen went to attend the gathering of Tongzhou League.

Tongzhou League had long been incorporated into Yunshui Sect and became a peripheral force of Yunshui Sect. The members of Tongzhou League had the same status as the outer disciples of Yunshui Sect.

Five years later, Tongzhou League also had more new faces and fewer familiar faces, but the leader was still Chen Yan.

Compared with before, Chen Yan had changed a lot. He was no longer as bold as before, and his eyes were a little gloomy. His gestures were full of the majesty of being in a high position for a long time.

Chen Yan has also moved out of the third-class cave and bought a second-class cave. His cultivation has improved day by day and he has broken through the ninth level of Qi training.

It is said that Chen Yan is accumulating spirit stones to buy a foundation-building pill in order to break through the foundation-building stage.

Because two foundation-building cultivators have fallen, Yunshui Sect is in urgent need of fresh blood.

The restrictions on foundation-building pills have been relaxed a lot.

As long as you are a member of Yunshui Sect and have enough spirit stones, you can exchange for a foundation-building pill.

Of course.

The price of foundation-building pills is very expensive. Yunshui Sect marked the price at 500,000 low-grade spirit stones.

"This price is a bit outrageous. How can ordinary Qi training cultivators get 500,000 low-grade spirit stones?"

Chu Chen has a new understanding of the evil heart of Yunshui Sect.

Ordinary Qi training cultivators can only save a few thousand or tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones in their entire lives.

Even for cultivators at the twelfth level of Qi training, as long as they do not master the skills of alchemy and refining, it is basically impossible to save 500,000 low-grade spirit stones.

For a cultivator like Chen Yan who can refine puppets, it is also very difficult to collect 500,000 low-grade spirit stones.

That is, only when Chen Yan controls the Tongzhou League can he buy the foundation-building pill.

"Welcome fellow Daoist Qin back."

Chen Yan smiled and welcomed Chu Chen's return. His fake smile made it difficult for people to see his true thoughts.

"You want to become an outer disciple of Yunshui Sect without any achievements. How can it be so good?"

Some Tongzhou League cultivators were very dissatisfied with Chu Chen and secretly said something weird.

They believed that Chu Chen had been away for five years and had not shared the joys and sorrows with the Tongzhou League and had survived the disaster together. This time, he came back and could directly become an outer disciple of Yunshui Sect, breaking the rules of the Tongzhou League.

"When fellow Daoist Qin left Chiyan Market, he fought with the demon cultivators of Wanyao Market and sent the news back to the market, so that we could be prepared in advance. This achievement is enough for him to become a member of Tongzhou League again."

Before Chu Chen spoke, Wang Yuanqiu and other cultivators who had received Chu Chen's favor had already spoken to defend Chu Chen.

Including some cultivators who had been instructed by Chu Chen, they all offered to help.

Most of these people were old members of Tongzhou League, and those who questioned Chu Chen were all new members.

Chen Yan sat at the top, watching the two sides argue quietly.

"Fellow Daoist Qin sent back the news of the monster nest attack, which saved Tongzhou League from a lot of losses. This merit can allow Fellow Daoist Qin to return to Tongzhou League."

Chen Yan coughed lightly and made the final decision.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen."

Chu Chen bowed his head, and his heart was startled.

From Chen Yan, he saw the shadow of the mortal emperor, who was good at the way of balance.

Let the new and old members of Tongzhou League confront each other, and he mediated to control the entire Tongzhou League and maintain his own position.

But no matter how clever Chen Yan's methods were, Chu Chen didn't care. He didn't want to take Chen Yan's position, as long as he could become a member of Tongzhou League again.

"Am I now a disciple of the Yunshui Sect?"

Compared with the real outer disciples of the Yunshui Sect, the members of the Tongzhou League are just equal in status.

Some benefits that belong to the outer disciples of the Yunshui Sect cannot be enjoyed at all, such as the monthly supply of cultivation resources, which the Tongzhou League members do not have.

However, this is enough. With the identity of a member of the Tongzhou League, Chu Chen can live more easily in the Chiyanfang City.

Sometimes, there is a big difference between having this layer of skin or not.

The identity of a member of the Tongzhou League may not be useful in some major events, but it is quite useful in minor matters, at least it will not be strangled by others.

For example, when Chu Chen returned to the Chiyanfang City before, if he did not have the identity of a Tongzhou League talisman master, he only wanted to spend twenty low-grade spirit stones to bring the little white mouse into the Chiyanfang City, which was impossible.

At least one hundred low-grade spirit stones, or even more.

Or being framed as a spy of the demon nest is not impossible.

Chen Yan set the price of talismans and formation flags for the next few months, and then got up and left.

After the party, Chu Chen thanked Wang Yuanqiu and other cultivators who had helped him, and went to Juxian Tower with everyone to have a few drinks before returning to the cave.

After all matters were settled, Chu Chen settled down in Chiyanfang City again.

He practiced and set up stalls every day, and occasionally went to Juxian Tower to have a small gathering with fellow Taoists from Tongzhoumeng.

Unfortunately, the recipe for the foundation-building pill is still missing.

Although Yunshui Sect has relaxed the conditions for exchanging foundation-building pills, the control of the foundation-building pill recipe is still very strict, and it is difficult to obtain.

"Don't worry, it's difficult to start from Yunshui Sect, so let's go find the foundation-building pill recipe that is circulated outside."

Chu Chen's mentality is very stable and not anxious.

The foundation-building pill recipe is not only available in Yunshui Sect, but also in the outside world.
