Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

Just moments ago, Lin Sheng arrived at his destination for the day.

Looking up, you can see four clear characters: "Taoyuan Hostel".

"Shukuba, this is the first time I've heard of this name."

"What does this mean, senior brother?"

"It's like a post station, a place specifically for recording and transporting demon materials. Just think of it as another form of post station."

Many demons, after being dismembered, could not be immediately delivered to where they were needed due to the long distances involved. Therefore, the imperial court established the positions of Grand and Small Palace Attendants.

"Firstly, it makes it easier to compile statistics, and secondly, it allows for adjustments along the way, since some materials are quite valuable and need to be carefully guarded."

Lin Sheng suddenly realized: "No wonder Master sent me here. Wouldn't it be possible to come into contact with a lot of information about demons here?"

Su Cheng was able to access materials about demons, which naturally allowed him to further understand information about demons, which was extremely beneficial for Lin Sheng to supplement his knowledge of demons.

"That's right, that's exactly what I mean. Master has already spoken with the chief official here, Su Cheng."

As a temporary supervisor, you will be responsible for recording and organizing materials about demons here every day, and you will also be able to see real demons from time to time.

"Hmm? A real demon?"

Lin Sheng immediately became alert. So far, the demons he had encountered were either cunning or ruthless, which made him very wary of them.

"Don't worry, junior brother, the imperial court values ​​Su Cheng's safety even more than you do."

Cao Xingyi tapped the ground with his foot: "There's a formation down here."

Demons and cultivators below the Jade Life Realm need not worry; those above that level will not venture into the Spring.

Hearing Cao Xingyi say this, Lin Sheng felt much more at ease and followed him into the camp.

Upon entering, one sees neat houses on both sides, with many officials moving back and forth, coming and going.

Every now and then, you could see people carrying or pushing fresh, dried demon materials past, and there were also several exquisite carriages parked in front of a house.

Lin Sheng guessed that this must be a large client who was tired from transporting materials and was taking a break here.

"Stop looking, you'll have plenty to read in the future. Go find Ma Sucheng first."

Turning his gaze away, Lin Sheng followed Cao Xingyi to another house.

The house where the steward was located was at the back of the post station, so by the time he arrived, he had seen almost the entire post station.

"Senior brother, Taoyuan camp is quite large. I thought it was a small place when you told me about it."

"Back then, junior brother, you hadn't seen other campsites. Not to mention the ones far away, just take the Muhe Campsite near the county town. It was more than twice the size of this one, with restaurants, banks, and other facilities. It was much more comprehensive than this one."

"That amazing?"

"Those well-equipped post stations are just as good as those in the city, and they are also there to provide a moment of relief for people who are tired from their journey."

Just as Cao Xingyi was about to knock on the door, he heard a mocking voice coming from behind him.

"Oh, isn't this Fellow Daoist Cao from Liuyun Pavilion? What brings you to the lodging place today?"

Could it be that he spent all his money on women, and is now sneaking off to beg for some silver behind his master's back?

Lin Sheng looked over and saw a man in a golden Taoist robe sneering at him, holding a whisk in his hand, with short eyebrows and narrow eyes.

Lin Sheng recognized the outfit; it was the logo of the Golden Tang Martial Arts Academy. The cultivators of this academy always liked to wear gold, which they claimed was to suppress their yang energy.

"How are you doing lately, Fellow Daoist Hu? Are you still practicing that Gathering Yang Technique? Have you recovered enough to continue your family's lineage?"

Hearing Cao Xingyi's words, Hu Bing felt a little embarrassed, but then he heard the other party say, "If it doesn't work out, I hope you will make plans as soon as possible, lest someone else beats you to it."

"you.....!"

"Fellow Daoist Hu, don't be impatient. Why waste your breath on someone who talks such nonsense?"

Another burly man emerged from the corner. He was nearly nine feet tall (about 2.1 meters), with a thick beard and an incredibly strong build. His two iron gloves gleamed coldly, and he wore only a thin garment. He stared intently at Cao Xingyi and Lin Sheng.

"Isn't this Fellow Daoist Lu of Feiyan? What's going on? Everyone's here today, is there some kind of gathering?"

Or is there something funny you've told us so we can all have a laugh?

Cao Xing crossed his arms and glanced at the two of them.

Seeing the two families who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, Lin Sheng wondered, "Why are the Jin Tang and Fei Yan martial arts schools here?"

Did they get the news from somewhere?

"But that can't be. My senior brother said that Master contacted the camp last night. How could we possibly receive the news the next day?"

"Fellow Daoist Cao is still as quick-witted as ever. I wonder if his skills have improved recently."

I heard you've been stuck at the Pure Blood Realm for quite some time, and the resources you've used up are enough to raise another Pure Blood cultivator.

Lu Qianchui scoffed, cracking his knuckles.

Cao Xingyi looked at Lin Sheng and said, "Junior brother, let me properly introduce this Fellow Daoist Lu to you."

"?"

Senior brother, is this the right occasion to do this?

"This Fellow Daoist Lu has a private nickname, 'Lu the Fifth Slave.' Do you know why?"

Upon hearing this name, Lu Qian glared at Cao Xingyi with eyes blazing with anger, pointing at him and shouting, "Are you tired of cultivating for so long?!"

Ignoring the other party's reaction, he said directly, "Because this person, like Su Wunu who sold his wife, obtained the opportunity to seek the Dharma by selling his wife and daughters for money."

Don't you think this nickname suits him perfectly?

"You must never become such a heartless, ungrateful, and shameless person who abandons his wife and children."

"You're asking for it!!"

Lu Qianchui disliked this nickname to begin with, and now that his past has been exposed, how could he remain calm?

It stomped the ground hard, shattering the earth as it charged straight at the enemy.

Cao Xing unleashed a burst of flames from his wrist, and a long spear appeared in his hand. He swung the spear upwards, shouting, "Junior brother, get out of the way!"

Without hesitation, Lin Sheng immediately used his Bee Shadow technique to move away, while Hu Bing on the opposite side flicked his whisk and disappeared, appearing on the roof of another house the next moment.

In a battle between two powerful cultivators, even the slightest impact would result in someone losing an arm or a leg.

Lu Qianchui's eyes were bloodshot as he unleashed a thunderous punch, each afterimage accompanied by a whooshing sound.

Cao Xing moved with ghostly speed, his spear stabbing out like a serpent, leaving streaks of blood on Lu Qianchui's body.

The iron fist and the spear collided violently in the air, sparks flying and ear-piercing.

"That's amazing."

"The people in the dojo aren't all incompetent; they can compete with their senior brother to this extent."

"boom!"

The spear spun, its scorching light spreading from the shaft to the tip, carrying an unstoppable impact toward Lu Qianchui. Lu Qianchui parried with his iron fists, the clash of the iron blades producing a piercing sound.

"Enough!!"

Ma Zhaoshan rushed over, took out his waist token, and shouted, "Ma Zhaoshan, the supervisor of Taoyuan Post Station, is here!"

"Stop right there! What are you doing! Fighting in such an important place, are you showing contempt for the imperial court?!"

"Believe it or not, I'll activate the formation! I'll take you all down and deal with you according to the rules!"

Ma Sucheng?

Lin Sheng looked at the panting man, who was not large, but stood up straight and held up his waist sign.

Upon approaching Ma Sucheng, Lin Sheng respectfully said, "Ma Sucheng, I am Lin Sheng from Liuyun Pavilion, and I have come to pay a visit with my senior brother Cao Xingyi."

Ma Zhaoshan glanced at Lin Sheng, then at Cao Xingyi who had put away his gun, and then at Lu and Hu.

His eyes caught a clear, deep mark on Lu Qianchui's gauntlet.

"Get in here, all of you!"

"What kind of behavior is this?!"
