Starting with Taoist priests from Maoshan to cultivate immortality

"What?"

Ke Wu stared wide-eyed, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

His two henchmen behind him slammed their fists on the table at just the right moment:

"Look closely, you old hag, this is Master Ke from Changhai Gate, do you know that?"

"This cultivation market is a property of Changhai Gate."

Changhaimen is a small sect in Tianmen Town.

According to the conventions of the cultivation world, once a secret realm appears, the local sects can share some of the profits, depending on the local conditions.

Ke Wu tapped the table and smiled.

"Keep a low profile. We at Changhaimen have always believed in making money through harmony and have never bullied others by relying on our power."

You can tell from me how humble I am.

The two underlings were puzzled, wondering why their boss had suddenly changed his appearance.

Ke tapped his fingertips on the table intermittently, saying:

"We have to do everything according to the rules."

"As mentioned above, a large number of independent cultivators from other places have arrived in Tianmen Town. In order to ensure their safety..."

"A business license must be issued for the stall to continue selling."

"And also," he said, glancing at the corpse of the Crimson Blood Demon Chicken on the ground and the debris he had cleared away.

"And there's a cleaning fee too. This is such a nice place, and you've turned it into this mess."

"Shouldn't we have to pay some spirit stones?"

Ke Wu's lips twitched, and he said with a forced smile:

"How about this, I'll give you a discount, you can pay fifty spirit stones."

Sister-in-law Ren frowned deeply:

"Fifty spirit stones? If I pay that, wouldn't I be working for nothing today?"

Ke Wuyi waved his hand and said:

"That's beyond my control; everything is done according to the rules of the sect."

"Either you pay the spirit stones obediently, or you can get out of Tianmen Town as soon as possible."

"By the way, your son's illness can't be cured without spirit stones, you'd better think it through," Ke Wuban threatened.

Upon hearing this, Ah Xu gritted his teeth and wanted to pounce on Ke Wu.

Sister-in-law Ren forcibly stopped her son, biting her lip, her heart filled with complex emotions.

Suddenly, a Crimson Blood Demon Chicken broke free of its cage and pounced on Ke Wu's face, its long beak aimed directly at his eyes.

Ke Wu was startled and quickly slapped the Crimson Blood Demon Chicken by the neck.

He snapped the Crimson Blood Demon Chicken's neck and glared at Jiang Yu, saying:

"You little brat, you've got some nerve, daring to release this thing to hurt your Fifth Master! You're asking for death!"

"Beat them!"

With that, he waved his hand and ordered his two underlings to take good care of Jiang Yu, preparing to make an example of him.

Sister-in-law Ren struggled for a moment, then shouted:

"Stop! I'll give it to you!"

She took out the only spirit stones she had in her pocket, which she had painstakingly saved to treat her son's illness.

Fortunately, with Jiang Yu's recipe, the snack stall's business improved, and with hard work, they could continue to accumulate spirit stones.

Ke Wu weighed the spirit stone in his hand and said:

"very good."

"I'll accept the spirit stones for today. The same amount will be used tomorrow. Get ready."

"You shameless!" Sister-in-law Ren said angrily, her face turning red.

Upon seeing this, Ke Wu burst into laughter.

"How am I shameless? I was just following the rules."

He is completely unwilling to give the Ren family mother and son a way to survive.

"I'll fight you to the death!" Sister-in-law Ren grabbed a kitchen knife and swung it at Ke Wu.

"This is what we've been waiting for," Ke Wu said, now that he had a reason.

"How dare you! These rogue cultivators are disregarding the rules of the market and attacking law enforcement officers."

"Break their limbs as punishment."

As he spoke, the two henchmen took out two sticks and started hitting Sister-in-law Ren.

Jiang Yu held a Vajra talisman in his hand.

hum!

An oval-shaped protective shell appeared on Sister-in-law Ren's body.

Jiang Yu looked down at the Vajra Talisman in his hand; this was not the one he used.

Looking up, a dignified white-haired man in a magnificent blue robe walked slowly towards them, escorted by a group of supporters.

A talisman was embroidered on his chest with a brocade sleeve.

Someone recognized him and exclaimed:

"My God, it's the True Talisman Sect! Lin Xiao, one of the five outer disciples."

"I heard that he recently awakened his spiritual body and has already broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining. He will soon become an inner disciple of the True Talisman Sect."

Jiang Yu's gaze sharpened slightly as he continued to observe.

Lin Xiao walked over gracefully, his expression stern, and said:

"How dare you bully orphans and widows! Is this how your Changhai Sect treats guests who come to Tianmen Town?"

Ke Wu, wary of Lin Xiao's identity, was no longer arrogant as before. He hunched over and said, "Young Master Lin, I was just following the rules."

Lin Xiao said coldly:

"Nonsense! You're just lining your own pockets. Should I take you to Changhai Gate for a proper judgment?"

Upon hearing this, Ke Wu turned ashen-faced and quickly said:

"Young Master Lin, I was blinded by greed."

Lin Xiao glared and said:

"Then why don't you hurry up and return the spirit stones to them?"

"Yes, yes."

Ke Wu bent over and stuffed the stolen spirit stones back into Ren's sister-in-law's hand, then left dejectedly with his two henchmen.

The onlookers, witnessing this scene, erupted in thunderous cheers.

"Young Master Lin is indeed a man of great principle."

"As expected of a disciple of the True Talisman Sect, you truly possess the demeanor of a great sect. I am truly impressed to witness such a sight today."

Sister-in-law Ren and her son stepped forward to express their gratitude:

"Many thanks to Young Master Lin for your help, I will never forget it."

Lin Xiao helped the two of them up.

"Upholding justice and helping the weak is the duty of righteous cultivators like us."

"What I can't stand the most is those who bully the weak."

He straightened his chest, clenched his fists, and said with an upright expression:

"The opening of the Tianmen Mountain Secret Realm this time will inevitably cause a great deal of fighting."

"But I don't think so. We should work together and share resources. If you have like-minded friends, feel free to talk to me."

Lin Xiao's impassioned speech stirred the blood of many rogue cultivators.

They all stepped forward and said:

"I am willing to obey Young Master Lin Xiao's commands."

Lin Xiao raised his hand and said:

"It's not about being driven, but about working together for mutual benefit."

"How about this, sister-in-law, it's not easy for you and your child to have a good life, let's eat here, it's on me."

The eldest sister-in-law of the Ren family was overjoyed.

"Young Master Lin is our savior. It's an honor for you to come to our humble shop. I'll give you the price at cost."

Lin Xiao waved his hand and said:

"No, just the original price."

After Lin Xiao sat down, a group of people surrounded him and flattered him.

Jiang Yu had been observing from the beginning to the end.

"The True Talisman Sect is currently being invaded by the Ghost Realm, and all disciples should devote themselves to this matter."

"How did he, an outer disciple, end up here?"

"Even the Third Elder Duan Li, whom he had encountered before, would immediately return whenever he had a spare moment."

"Moreover, he always felt that Lin Xiao was not as simple as he seemed, and that he spoke as if he was trying to win people over."

However, this had nothing to do with him; he continued doing his own thing, slaughtering the Crimson Blood Demon Chicken.

By the afternoon, all of Sister-in-law Ren's ingredients had been sold out.

Sister-in-law Ren took out half of the profits in spirit stones and handed them to Jiang Yu, saying:

"Xiao Li, we were able to get such a good deal this time thanks to you. This portion is for you."

Jiang Yu raised his hand in refusal, taking only 3 spirit stones.

"This is what we all agreed on. I only need 3 spirit stones. This is what I deserve."

"Besides, your son is ill and needs medical treatment, so you should accept the spirit stones."

Sister-in-law Ren felt very embarrassed and touched, saying:

"Thank you so much."

She took out a roll of recipes and said:

"These are some recipes for spiritual cuisine that I've collected. They're not worth much, but I'm giving them to you anyway."

"Thank you." Jiang Yu accepted it.

"It seems that the [Do a Good Deed Every Day] task has not been completed. In the end, we still need to solve Ah Xu's illness before we can get the reward."
