The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

Tianxing Sect, Tianxing City, Qingfeng Dan Pavilion

Although the Dan Pavilion is small, it has all the necessary functions: a manager, a waiter, some pills, and a few guests.

As the last rogue cultivator left with the pills, Lu Changfeng stretched lazily behind the counter, his expression full of excitement. Then, as if remembering something, he called out to Xie Zhixing, the shopkeeper at the counter not far away.

"Wuhu, finally time to get off work!"

"Boss Crab, when will I get paid?!"

As she spoke, she blinked her clear, bright eyes quickly.

As for why he's called Crab Boss, it's simply because his surname is Xie, which is similar to crab. Secondly, he's skilled at using a double fork, which also makes him look like a crab, hence the nickname.

Even now, Xie Zhixing still thinks that the name is just a matter of having a heavy accent.

However, Xie Zhixing behind the counter was still staring at the account book with his head down, tapping his old leg with his right hand while his left hand kept calculating on the abacus without stopping!

However, upon hearing Lu Changfeng's voice, he simply slapped his storage bag with the hand that was rubbing his old, cold legs, and ten low-grade spirit stones appeared on the counter.

"Alright, kid, here's your salary! Take it!"

"By the way, head home as soon as you get off work. Things aren't safe these days, so don't linger outside!"

Lu Changfeng put away the spirit stones, then patted his chest and assured them,

"Don't worry, Mr. Crab, I'm a very obedient and good boy!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhixing, who was tapping on the abacus, paused, then looked up at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth in front of him with disdain.

"Come on, your dad sent me a message last night saying you swindled him out of some spirit stones and then betrayed him!"

When his boss exposed him, Lu Changfeng blushed, but adhering to the principle that as long as he didn't admit it, he didn't do it, he decisively changed the subject.

"Ahem, Mr. Crab, it's getting late, I have to go now!"

After saying that, Lu Changfeng dashed out of the shop.

Stepping out of Qingfeng Dange, he stood on the street outside and looked around. There were people everywhere, and figures flew across the sky from time to time. Ordinary passersby just glanced at him and went about their business.

Tianxing City itself belongs to the Tianxing Sect, and most of the mortals who live here are related to cultivators to some extent, so it's nothing unusual.

Although the Qingfeng Pill Pavilion where he was located was not large, hundreds of independent cultivators from four or five blocks around it bought pills there.

Logically speaking, the shopkeeper could handle such a small purchase volume by himself, but he has connections.

My mother is a top-tier first-level alchemist, who has provided Qingfeng Pill Pavilion with many pills for the early and mid-stages of Qi Refining. As for my father, he and Boss Crab were childhood friends.

A month ago, his mother, who had failed in her alchemy attempt, found him an eyesore and promptly sent him, who had just turned 15, to work here.

It's a pity I only get 10 spirit stones a month, which is the same amount as the allowance my mom used to give me. Now I have to work for someone else.

So pathetic!

Fortunately, the Awakening system allows users to purchase various premium gift packs by spending spirit stones.

Anyone who's played games knows that if you're willing to spend money, you can truly dominate everything.

Unfortunately, although the pay-to-win system supported purchasing spirit stones, it only allowed spending one's salary on work; nothing else was supported. So, he simply started a formal working life.

Looking around, he found that the conditions for takeoff were met. He patted his waist, and a spirit sword flew out of his storage bag.

The spirit sword was three feet long, with a faint green hue on its blade, giving it an incredibly mystical appearance. If it were before the transmigration, it would have been at least a national treasure. Unfortunately, this was the cultivation world, and it was just a low-grade first-tier spirit sword.

"go!"

In an instant, the spirit sword grew several times larger, and Lu Changfeng lightly stepped onto it with a tap of his toes.

"Sword Control Technique - Swift!"

Whoosh!

The spirit sword carrying Lu Changfeng disappeared in the blink of an eye, and when it reappeared, it was already above Tianxing City.

As soon as he arrived, the powerful air currents at high altitudes began to assault his body, and the biting cold wind seemed to be searching for warmth, like an eel.

Lu Changfeng immediately shivered and quickly tightened his clothes.

"Ouch! It's so cold!"

"Damn it, I thought I wouldn't be afraid of the cold after becoming a cultivator. It seems my cultivation level is still too low!"

Although he didn't know why he had transmigrated to this world, he had been diligently cultivating ever since he was found to have a low-grade spiritual root at the age of 10. Unfortunately, after six years of cultivation, he had only reached the second level of Qi Refining.

Under normal circumstances, even with the help of his alchemist mother, he would never have the chance to reach the Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime.

Fortunately, he awakened his cheat ability, which makes his future limitless.

However, feeling that it was getting late, he decided to go home first!

In just over half an hour, Lu Changfeng, trembling, stopped in front of a huge mountain gate on his flying sword.

The mountain gate is 100 meters high and is carved from a single piece of lapis lazuli. On the left and right sides of the gate, there is a coiled azure dragon. At first glance, it seems as if the azure dragon is about to fly out of the gate.

And this is the eastern gate of the Tianxing Sect—the Azure Dragon Gate.

At this moment, there were about ten cultivators standing at the entrance of the Azure Dragon Gate. Although they seemed to be just guarding the gate, the leader was actually an inner disciple with a cultivation level of mid-Foundation Establishment.

The situation is similar for the West Gate (White Tiger Gate), the South Gate (Vermilion Bird Gate), and the North Gate (Black Tortoise Gate).

However, unlike Tianxing City, the sect's territory is a true no-fly zone.

Whoosh!

While Lu Changfeng was queuing, several figures suddenly streaked through the air and disappeared into the sect in the blink of an eye. The disciples at the gate didn't even move, clearly already used to this scene.

Although flying is prohibited at the sect entrance, it is not absolute. For example, if you are a core disciple or an elder, then the rule of not flying is not a rule!

He was just a lowly nobody at the second level of Qi Refining, so he had to wait in line.

Fortunately, the check was very quick, and before long, it was his turn in the line that originally had hundreds of people ahead of him.

"Fellow Daoist, please show your identity token!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng hurriedly took out an identity jade slip from his waist. The front of the jade slip was engraved with Tianxing, and the back was engraved with the name of the outer sect disciple's family member.

The other person just glanced at it and waved.

"Alright, go in!"

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng put away his identity jade slip, bowed to the person checking him, and then entered the sect.

Walking home, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but sigh. Although the Tianxing Sect was powerful, it treated its disciples quite well.

Once you join a sect, they won't easily kick you out, even if your progress is slow. As a result, many people start families after reaching a certain age, and their children can live in the sect even if they don't have spiritual roots, as long as their parents are still alive.

Although prices are quite high, there is one advantage: safety.

After all, this is the world of cultivation. A few simple moves from a high-level cultivator would be the end of the world for mortals, not to mention demonic beasts, evil cultivators, and celestial demons.

Following the path, he soon arrived at the outer disciples' area, where neat rows of courtyard houses were everywhere.

"Old Deng, I'm back!"

However, as soon as they entered their own courtyard house, their father, Lu Yuange, roared and rushed out.

"You brat, you actually dare to come back!"
