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

Seeing that he had already made up his mind, Lu Changfeng didn't interfere further.

Although he was thinking to himself, "It would be better if we failed. That way, I could get a stake in the business since I wouldn't have any spirit stones left."

He never denied that he had selfish motives, and even that he had a dark side to his heart.

But everyone has a dark side.

The difference lies in whether or not action is taken.

I do lack the resources to spend money on in-game purchases, but not to that extent. I've already saved enough to advance from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, and I don't know how many years it will take to go from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, so there's no need to be so extreme.

Then he took out the news jade slip to see what had happened in the past two days.

Recently, due to the monster riots, there have been many more special editions of news jade slips. It's unclear how the person behind this managed to have news from all directions related to the Heavenly Star Sect.

But none of that matters.

Suddenly, Lu Changfeng's eyes stopped on a news article.

The accompanying image in the news report showed a Golden Core cultivator and a Golden Core demon beast engaged in a fierce battle.

But what he was looking at wasn't the Golden Core cultivator, but a fat man in the corner of the picture fighting a Foundation Establishment demon beast, his nine-ringed broadsword already embedded in the beast's head.

Upon seeing this person, Lu Changfeng smiled.

"Hey, isn't this Old Deng? Looks like he's doing pretty well lately!"

Although it's just a picture and we don't know the strength of the monster, it must be some kind of weakling to be present during a battle between Golden Core cultivators.

"Hehehe, as expected, that old Deng is quite a genius."

"Perhaps now is the best time for him!"

Lu Changfeng was right.

After all, the path to immortality hadn't changed much in the past, and there weren't many good things. Now, the world has changed dramatically, there are many treasures, and the new era hasn't yet emerged. If you dare to strive for the Golden Core stage, it's not a problem, and even the Nascent Soul stage is a possibility.

Just as he was sighing, a violent spiritual energy suddenly came from outside, which was what cultivators often called demonic energy.

"Heh heh, I didn't expect a demonic beast to actually infiltrate here!"

"Let me see what's going on!"

As he spoke, his powerful divine sense instantly enveloped the surrounding two or three blocks. It wasn't that he didn't want to expand the area further, but mainly that he didn't want to be exposed.

Moreover, since he could sense the demonic aura himself, it couldn't possibly be very far away.

Sure enough, not long after, the trace of the monster was found on a rooftop at the end of the street; it was a blue-light bird.

This bird was originally just a pet for ornamental purposes, but judging from its current disheveled appearance, it must have gone berserk.

However, his strength was only average, at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. But he soon discovered that the Azure Bird was just bait, and there was a Qi Refining Perfection level eagle in the sky at that moment.

However, the distance is too far, and it's impossible to hit them without revealing one's true strength, so a decoy is needed.

At that moment, Li Mingfei, holding a handful of bamboo skewers, appeared in his sight.

Got it!

Lu Changfeng immediately went to Li Mingfei's side.

"Golden-haired Chicken, didn't you want to open a brothel? How can you do business without a reputation, right?"

Although Li Mingfei didn't understand Lu Changfeng's reason for saying this, he still nodded.

"What you said makes sense, so what's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng pointed in the direction of the Azure Light Bird.

"I've spotted a mid-stage Qi Refining demon beast, and it's flying this way!"

"If you kill this guy now, wouldn't you become famous?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mingfei was initially startled, but then became excited.

"Really? Really only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining?"

Lu Changfeng nodded repeatedly.

"What's our relationship? Would I lie to you?"

At the same time, I added in my mind, "I didn't lie to you, I just didn't tell you everything."

"How about it? I'll back you up. You take care of this guy, and once you're famous, doing business will be much easier, right?"

After being persuaded by Lu Changfeng, Li Mingfei enthusiastically accepted the task.

Just as he was about to leave, Lu Changfeng stopped him again.

"Don't rush! If you kill the Azure Light Bird now, who will thank you? You should bring the demon beast over first, then kill it. Wouldn't that earn you everyone's gratitude?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mingfei immediately revealed a look that said, "As expected of Brother Lu, he can even come up with such a treacherous idea. But I must say, well done!"

"Don't worry, leave this to me!"

"I'll lure this bird over here right now!"

As he spoke, he donned a first-tier, high-grade spiritual artifact armor, grabbed a spiritual sword, and stealthily crept over.

Once he got close to the Azure Bird, he immediately shot out a golden needle, which caused the Azure Bird to let out a sharp cry.

Almost simultaneously, the Azure Bird spotted Li Mingfei's sneak attack and immediately flapped its wings to pounce.

Li Mingfei was horrified at the sight, but his long treasure hunt had gradually calmed him down. After his armor had been pecked several times, he finally staggered to the front of the Luoyun Inn.

Upon seeing Lu Changfeng nod, Li Mingfei immediately shouted,

"You fiend, how dare you trespass into my Luoyun Inn and disturb my guests' rest! You're asking for death!"

Li Mingfei's voice was so loud that it woke up many people in the inn almost instantly.

There's nothing I can do; you guys rented the cheapest ones, so it's bound to be noisy! How can I build a reputation if I don't wake you up?

Hehehe!

Many people who heard the sound looked down through the windows and were immediately shocked.

Li Mingfei was locked in a fierce battle with a monster half his height. In just a few moves, he had been pecked several times. Fortunately, he was protected by his armor, otherwise he would have several holes in his body by now.

Many people immediately felt grateful. Although Luoyun Inn asked for a lot of spirit stones, they were really protecting you!

They vowed that they would rent a room long-term from now on.

But they were quickly deterred by the exorbitant rent and ultimately decided to prioritize seeking refuge here in the future!

clang clang clang!

Noticing the stares of many guests, Li Mingfei gritted his teeth and persevered.

Damn it, we're both at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and we each have a high-grade first-tier spiritual weapon, so how come we can't beat a demon beast?

At the same time, he kept glancing at Lu Changfeng, who was watching the play in the inn.

Brother Lu, save me, save me!

However, when faced with his pleading gaze, Lu Changfeng immediately pretended not to see it.

He was furious, but had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere, hoping the city guards would arrive quickly.

Unfortunately, the city guards are currently on alert outside the city!

Finally, through his relentless efforts, the Azure Bird was slain with a single sword strike. But before he could even rejoice, he saw a fully-trained eagle swooping down from the sky.

Its target was the already exhausted Li Mingfei.

Upon seeing this scene, he felt utterly hopeless. It was all over. How could a fully-formed demon beast appear?

Just as he was waiting to die, a voice suddenly came from inside the Luoyun Inn.

"Ah, finally they're down! I've been waiting so long!"

"Go to hell!"

At that moment, a flash of sword light, and the eagle was cleaved in two. Only when the two halves of the demonic beast's corpse crashed heavily to the ground did everyone finally react.

Then cheers erupted from all sides.

Only then did Li Mingfei realize that Brother Lu must have seen that he had the strength to defeat the monster, which was why he pushed him.

Now that he encounters a problem that he can't solve, he steps in!

He never expected that Brother Lu would be so considerate of him. He had been cursing Brother Lu in his heart before, thinking that he was a terrible person!
