Staying In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 89: He is Just an Ordinary Person

The dark clouds in the sky were heavy, and the snow was falling.

In Ruyang County, as the most prosperous place in the county, there was a bustling flow of merchants.

The buildings on both sides of the street were ancient and charming, with tea houses, taverns, silk and satin shops, clinics, and pharmacies, all crowded together, creating a lively scene.

At noon, a burly figure of a martial artist passed through the city gate and entered Ruyang County.

He was nearly eight feet tall, with a face full of muscles and a fierce look in his eyes that made it clear he was not someone to be messed with.

His body was full of vigorous blood and muscles, and with every move he made, one could feel a burst of explosive power contained within him.

The burly man swaggered along, and all the pedestrians on the street hurriedly avoided him.

He arrived at a restaurant, and the waiter at the entrance almost bumped into him. Looking up at the burly man, the waiter trembled in fear.

The burly man pulled the waiter aside and went upstairs to the second floor of the restaurant, choosing a seat by the window and placing his waist knife heavily on the table.

With a loud "clang".

The waiter following behind almost fell to the ground.

"Bring me all the signature dishes of your restaurant, and another jar of strong liquor..."

The waiter, feeling as if he had been granted amnesty, quickly went to fulfill the request. In no time, a table full of dishes was prepared.

The burly man picked up a chicken and quickly devoured it, leaving no bones behind.

Watching the burly man devouring the food on the table, even the waiter who was carefully serving him was dumbfounded. A whole table of dishes disappeared in an instant.

The burly man slammed the table and shouted at the waiter, "Go... bring me more..."

After that, seven or eight more tables were brought in before the burly man was finally satisfied.

The restaurant's customers forgot about their own meals and stared in astonishment at the burly man who was eating voraciously.

He lifted a wine jar and took a big gulp, wiping his mouth.

"Delicious..."

After saying that, the burly man threw down a gold ingot and left the restaurant directly.

With such a hero appearing in Ruyang County and eating several tables of food alone at noon, it naturally caused a sensation in the city.

Of course, this action also attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives.

Two days later, in the middle of the night, several people dressed in black robes arrived at the hotel where the burly man was staying, taking advantage of the cover of darkness.

"Xiao Liu, have you seen clearly?"

"Don't worry, boss, I've been watching him for a few days. He's just a strong guy with some strength."

"Could it be a trick from the Evil Cult?"

"Boss, you can trust my eyes. I guarantee with my life that he is just an ordinary person."

Hearing this, the leader of the group felt relieved. No matter how powerful the Evil Cult was, they wouldn't send an ordinary person as a spy.

"Then capture him and present him to the leader..."

All the subordinates responded with a loud noise, and then they quietly entered the hotel.

The next day, a horse-drawn carriage filled with goods left Ruyang County.

Over the next few days, this carriage traveled to several places, changing people several times, before finally arriving at the nearby Qingyuan Temple.

In the early morning mist, the side door of Qingyuan Temple facing south opened.

Several carriages filled with goods entered the temple one after another, and the two red lacquered doors slowly closed.

Half an hour later, Su Fan came out of Qingyuan Temple carrying a person, riding his Law Weapon and whistling away.

Dozens of young men and women who had been kidnapped here ran out of Qingyuan Temple crying.

Behind them, Qingyuan Temple, which had hidden its dirt and filth, was now engulfed in towering flames.

Su Fan used the "Turtle Breathing Technique" to deceive the Evil Cultivators in the city and was sent to the lair of "Blood Demon" Nie Heng, Qingyuan Temple.

Next, it's simple. Don't even mention an Evil Cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Even if it's a disciple at the perfect stage of Qi Refining, once Su Fan gets close, they'll have to kneel.

To talk about the strength of "Blood Demon" Nie Heng, it's actually nothing special.

But this person is cunning and deceitful, always hiding in the mortal world and rarely showing himself.

He has recruited a group of Evil Cultivators to work for him, and his whereabouts cannot be found at all.

The Shifting Yin Sect has organized several attempts to capture him, but they have all been in vain, only catching some small fry.

In the afternoon, Su Fan returned outside Ashen Dove City.

Qian Sheng had been waiting here, looking at the person in Su Fan's hands who was barely alive, he was a bit confused.

This senior brother really hides his abilities well. He actually captured the "Blood Demon" Nie Heng at the eighth level of Qi Refining. The sect's reward for him is five thousand good deeds.

"Qian Xiong, I'm handing him over to you. I'll wait in the city."

Qian Sheng quickly cupped his hands and said, "Senior brother, rest assured, I will definitely handle it properly for you."

After he finished speaking, he took out a black cloth bag from his storage bag, put the unconscious Nie Heng into it, and then carried him away.

In the evening, Qian Sheng returned.

He came to a teahouse and sat opposite Su Fan, picking up the tea on the table and taking a sip.

"Senior brother, everything has been taken care of. Your identity token..."

Su Fan handed him the identity token and jokingly said, "How about it, are there many people who want this merit?"

Qian Sheng chuckled, "There are plenty of people outside the sect who want it..."

After he finished speaking, he returned the identity token to Su Fan.

"Senior brother, take a look. Five thousand good deeds, plus one thousand for trading sect merit, makes a total of six thousand good deeds."

Su Fan shook his head and put the identity token into his storage bag.

"I trust you. I'll come back next month. Prepare the list. I'm leaving..."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and left the teahouse.

"Senior brother, take care..."

Qian Sheng also didn't expect that this senior brother would actually accomplish this.

If he could really complete one bounty mission per month as he said, and be responsible for trading sect merit, the profit would be split evenly between them.

This business could be done.

He had earned one thousand good deeds in just half an afternoon of work.

And he had also expanded his business channels, which would have a great impact on him in the future.

After all, besides this senior brother, he hadn't seen anyone else willing to trade sect merit.

In the Shifting Yin Sect, completing a sect bounty mission not only earned good deeds, but also sect merit.

For outer disciples who wanted to enter the inner sect, besides aptitude and cultivation level, there were many other ways.

Sect merit was one of them.

Liu He entered the inner sect because of his great achievements, relying on sect merit.

So at least in the outer sect, sect merit was still in high demand and the price remained high.

This matter was entrusted to Qian Sheng, and he had found the right person. This guy was a broker, as long as it was profitable, he would take on any task.

Although Liu He was the person he trusted the most in the sect, this kid was too unreliable.

He followed Senior Sister every day, and who knows, one day, she might find out about this.

Su Fan didn't want to attract attention. Isn't it better to quietly make money?

He benefited from this matter, others gained sect merit, it was a win-win situation, of course no one would spread rumors.
