Raising the Demon

Chapter 224
Zi Baifeng stopped, and turned his head with some doubts.

The footsteps of the coming person were light and the speed of movement was extremely fast. It could be seen that he should be a monk.

Looking at the clothes on his body, the Taoist robe has been washed and turned white, from blue to moon white. It seems that the material is good, but many places have been worn smooth.

"Master Zi!" Seeing Zi Baifeng stop, Zeng Xian hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I, Zeng Xian, have met Master Zi."

Zi Baifeng didn't wear official robes, and he didn't feel that he, who had just arrived, was a familiar face on the street. Obviously, this person came to him with a conspiracy, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, Zeng Xian knows that you have just taken over as Zhizheng Yuan Zhizheng, and Zeng Xian wants to do his best for you." Zeng Xian bowed to the ground, speaking sincerely.

Zi Baifeng frowned, looking up and down at the young monk in front of him.

Immediately, Zeng Xian had an urge to cover his lower body, because Zi Baifeng's eyes seemed to have seen through him instantly.

He was right, under the vision of Zi Baifeng's aura, Zeng Xian in front of him seemed to be illuminated by naked light, it would be an exaggeration to say that he was naked, but he could see through the inside and outside of his body at a glance.

Well, this way of cultivation is not a spy of Xia Junguo, but a monk of Zhuan Erguo.

However, this slender spirit flow, this frail little body...

Then Zi Baifeng shook his head and said, "You are too weak."

The Zeng Xian in front of him is probably at the same level as the ordinary disciples of Danmu Sect. Zi Baifeng can train a monk of this level by himself.For example, Ge Touer, as long as he has mastered the art of training Qi, Zi Baifeng tailor-made a monster for him as a partner, and in less than a month, he can be compared with a monk like Zeng Xian—of course, not It can be achieved by one's own cultivation base, but by the comprehensive ability of all aspects.

If such a monk goes to Mengcheng, he might be happy with it, but in a place like Xijing, the dogs running all over the streets are better than him. This kind of monk can only be used as a follower for himself, and sent out to handle errands , For example, taking a small stone to school may not be at ease.

Zi Baifeng turned around and was about to leave, who would have thought that Zeng Xian would run two steps forward, and then kneel down with a plop.

Zeng Xian really had no choice.

Zi Baifeng is already his last chance, is it really an offering to ordinary people?In a place like Xijing, where are there any offerings?They're all just patrons.The so-called servants are servants.

If you are an ordinary person as a doorman, what are your prospects for development in the future?Then why come to Xijing?Staying in Yancheng, isn't it good to eat delicious food and drink spicy food?

Zi Baifeng frowned.

Before he came to Bishui Tower today, he first sent the little stone to the Fujun, and then felt that it was too wronged to let Taxue stay in the stable of the restaurant, so he left it directly in the Fujun's mansion. Jun's garden is very close to here, just a few minutes' walk.

Without an entourage, without a mount, who would have thought that when he met a stalker Zeng Xian, Zi Baifeng didn't want to flirt with him.

He is not his fellow countrymen, nor is he a friend, so why should he care about him?

Zi Baifeng shook his head, and planned to go around the road, Zeng Xian took two steps on his knees, wanting to rush up and hug Zi Baifeng, but he didn't dare after all, he just stared blankly at Zi Baifeng's back.

Zi Baifeng walked a few more steps, but couldn't bear it in the end, turned around and said, "Are you okay now? I'm going to do some shopping, so you can be my porter."

"Ah, yes! Yes!" Zeng Xian quickly got up, slapped the dust on his knees twice, and quickly chased after him.

Not far away, Jin Taiyu who caught up was a little dazed, a little puzzled, and a little unspeakably angry, standing there, letting the cold wind blow by.

"My lord, I'll help you carry the basket." Zeng Xian carefully took Zi Baifeng's basket, he didn't look like a high-ranking monk, but a servant who served others since childhood.

Zi Baifeng shook his head lightly, one of the reasons why he refused to accept Zeng Xian was because he could tell at a glance that this person had no arrogance.

People can't have arrogance, but they can't be without arrogance.This sentence was heard by Zi Baifeng in the previous life, and Zi Baifeng didn't agree with this sentence, thinking it was too absolute.

But it is much more appropriate to put this sentence on the monk.

But also slightly modified.

Among the people Zi Baifeng knew, most of the people he admired were proud.

Fu Jun, Mr. Luo Qianshan, and Gao Xianren are all arrogant.

Of course, these people are not only arrogant, but also arrogant.

And further down, Yan Lao Wu, Uncle Zhu Zi, his own father and mother, and even Xiao Shitou are all proud and upright.

Even among his enemies, there are many worthy of admiration, such as Feiyangzi and Feijianzi.

Proudness and arrogance, this is what Zi Baifeng thinks the little demons still lack.In this regard, Uncle Qingshi and Shu Yue are ahead of the curve—probably because they talk less?

Cultivating immortals is to go against the sky and change one's fate, especially in this dharma-ending world where one can only survive by fighting against the sky, the earth, and the people.

Without arrogance, it is almost impossible to achieve too much.

The few people Zi Baifeng admired the most in Zhizhengyuan were also full of pride. Deputy Lu Zhi would rather be dismissed from office than submit to the camp. More importantly, Ge Touer, who looks like a small official in the market, can also speak up for justice, instead of blindly concealing it because he is afraid of himself. He told Zi Baifeng about the conflict with the camp.

These people can be admired by Zi Baifeng, and naturally they can also be attracted by Zi Baifeng, because Zi Baifeng also has his own pride.

Although he is kind, he has a tough bone.

Anyone who wants to gnaw on this bone will have to pay a price.

Maybe he is still too naive, or maybe he is a middle school student, but Zi Baifeng always feels that kneeling down to beg for help is not what a gentleman does.

However, not everyone in this world is a gentleman.

Zi Baifeng had a lot of things to buy, and Zi Wu was in a hurry at home, saying that he wanted to start a business, so he asked Zi Baifeng to buy some things and go back.

Along the way, there is a street of books and shops not far away. Zi Baifeng's small shop in the corner is not closed, and an old man is watching.

Seeing Zi Baifeng approaching, the guy hurriedly greeted him, "Boss!"

"Well, let's go shopping, how is the business recently?" Zi Baifeng asked.

"Business is very good recently, because I heard that this is your property, boss, and I want to see what books you read and sell, boss."

"These are the best-selling books, "Legend of the White Snake", "Legend of the Stranger Heroes", and this one..." The waiter from the store introduced him. This waiter was also a down-and-out scholar. Crazy, I like to read all kinds of books. When I look at the store, I seem to be writing something.

"When your masterpiece is finished, we will also print it into a book and sell it in this store." Zi Baifeng said.

The little boy patted his head with a smile, "I dare not mention the word masterpiece in front of you, the boss."

Zi Baifeng glanced into the store, there were three or four people picking and choosing, Zi Baifeng asked: "Tell me, how about we also manage some pens, inks, papers and inkstones?"

"It's not impossible, but Mobaolou, Qianhuaju, and Wenfangshe are not far away, so I'm afraid the business won't be very good."

"It's just selling casually." Zi Baifeng nodded, and the waiter in the shop said the same thing.

I don’t know what my mother thinks, but she actually wants to start an ink-making business. Although Zi Baifeng heard that his mother’s natal family is an ink-making business, he has never been there. I caused a lot of trouble for myself, and when I became the mansion lord, they stopped and never came again.

Or, if they had been here but they didn't know it, their father and mother sent them away by themselves - thinking about the character of father and mother, this possibility is more likely.

Mobaolou, Qianhuaju, and Wenfangshe are all well-known large-scale pen, ink, paper and inkstone stores in Xijing, and they all have their own brands.When I was in Mengcheng, the stationery of these three major brands was a rare commodity and was regarded as top-grade.

When he arrived in Xijing, Zi Baifeng found out that these three companies were just high-end goods, and they were just myths because of the long distance.

Zi Baifeng led Zeng Xian all the way over, whenever he saw any ink, he would take a piece of it, and within a short time, Zeng Xian's body was covered with bags.

With his hands behind his back, Zi Baifeng looked like an ordinary scholar who brought his family out to buy stationery, not conspicuous at all.

What surprised Zi Baifeng was that after knowing Zi Baifeng's plan, Zeng Xian stepped forward to inquire, bargain, and inquire wherever he went, not at all like a monk, but like an ordinary person.

And judging by the skill of bargaining, it is much more advanced than his cultivation base.

Zi Baifeng found out that he was not at a disadvantage, and now he has few such talents in his hands.

It's like Ge Touer, if you ask him to bully men and women to be a dog's leg, he is absolutely competent, but if you ask him to help him buy a house, then...in the end, he will have to develop into bullying men and women to steal.

"What did you do before?" Zi Baifeng asked.

"My lord, before I cultivated immortality, my family ran an inn." Zeng Xian said.

"What about your family?" Zi Baifeng asked again.

Zeng Xian was silent, and after a while, he said: "On the way to cultivate immortals, there is no one who goes with you."

"How many years have you practiced?" Zi Baifeng asked again.

"Reporting to my lord, it has been 40 years."

Zi Baifeng also sighed.

If I didn't have the formula to raise a demon, one day, I would have to watch my parents leave me one by one.

In a few decades, he will be alone for the rest of his life.

But fortunately, I have the formula of raising demons, nourishing spiritual energy, and simple introductory practice, which has doubled the lifespan of my parents and family members.

But in this world, who can protect his family like himself?

Zi Baifeng nodded, already made a decision in his heart, and said: "Then you can follow me. I am rather domineering, if you plan to follow me, you can't betray, and you can't follow others."

Zi Baifeng paused, and said: "I will give you a one-month probationary period, if you can pass the probationary period, I will formally let you into my sect."

Zeng Xian was overjoyed, at that moment, he felt that there was no other voice, more beautiful than Zi Baifeng.
