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

However, before he could be smug for long, dozens of attacks came at him. Although he dodged them in time, he was still seriously injured.

He was eventually sent directly to the rear for treatment, and Lu Changfeng rushed over as soon as he heard about Li Bing's situation.

However, when they arrived, they found Li Bing lying on the bed, leisurely munching on a spirit fruit.

Upon seeing Lu Changfeng arrive, he immediately jumped up and handed him a stool.

"Brother Lu, please have a seat!"

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Li Bing, what happened to you? Your injury is so serious!"

In Lu Changfeng's mind, the main battlefield was still ongoing. Theoretically, even if there was a siren attack, Li Bing was a patrol member and should not have been injured so badly.

However, Li Bing just chuckled.

"Hehehe, Brother Lu, I really got carried away this time, but look what I got!"

As she spoke, she pulled out several jade bottles from her bosom and waved them at him.

Lu Changfeng couldn't help but rub his forehead.

"I knew it!"

"But be more careful next time, lest you die halfway there!"

Li Bing felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this.

"Hehehe, that's impossible. I've already secured a year and a half's worth of orders this time. Once I do this again and pay off the loan, I definitely won't be so impulsive!"

Li Bing's thinking was simple; he knew his own situation.

He was a rogue cultivator. Although he didn't have the lowest-grade spiritual root, it wasn't impossible for him to establish his foundation, but it was extremely difficult.

If it weren't for Lu Changfeng, he would have had no chance of even reaching the Foundation Establishment stage in his entire life, even if he had to risk everything.

I've already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and no matter how hard I try, I won't reach the Golden Core stage. So I'll take this good opportunity to pay off all my debts in one go, and then I won't have to worry about anything else.

Perhaps he can even form a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan and become its ancestor, with the family tree originating from him.

Seeing that Li Bing was alright, Lu Changfeng still gave her some advice.

"Okay, but you still need to stay calm. You're only at the first level of Foundation Establishment, don't get cocky!"

Although Li Bing was seriously injured this time, the fact that he received so much Foundation Establishment blood essence shows that he definitely played a significant role in it.

This shows that his combat ability is not bad either!

So in his view, as long as he played it safe, Li Bing's life would definitely be saved, and if things got too bad, he could just get treatment later!

Anyway, I treat others for free, so what's wrong with prioritizing my friends?

"Hehehe, thanks, Brother Lu!"

Li Bing, who had been cured by Lu Changfeng, rejoined the patrol team.

Half a month later, Li Bing gathered all the outstanding debts and arrived at the Burning Blood Sect's office.

"Senior, I am Li Bing. I signed a contract with the sect before, and I'm here today to repay the loan in advance!"

Upon hearing this, the old man, who had been feeling a bit drowsy, suddenly jolted awake.

"What? You've come to repay the loan?"

The old man was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and at this moment he was constantly stealthily sizing up Li Bing.

Subconsciously, he began calculating how many essence blood pills a Foundation Establishment cultivator could refine, and before doing so, he glanced around to see if anyone had noticed.

But then he paused, looking at the people walking around him, and suddenly slapped his forehead.

Grass!

Forgot that he is now a decent person.

With that in mind, he began to openly and honestly scrutinize the person.

Li Bing naturally noticed the old man's series of subtle movements.

Although I don't know what he's thinking, I can tell from the way he looks at me like I'm a pig that he's definitely not thinking anything good.

Seeing that he didn't react for a while, Li Bing reminded him again.

"Senior, I'm here to repay my loan!"

Only then did the elder of the Burning Blood Sect realize what was happening.

"Oh, oh, oh, repayment, repayment is good!"

However, his tone changed the next moment!

"Fellow Daoist, I'll say something you won't like to hear: repaying the loan now is a pure loss!"

However, just as Li Bing was about to say something, he was immediately interrupted by the old man.

"Listen to me first, and then you can judge whether my words make sense. There are so many people here; it won't take long to say a few words, right?"

After thinking about it, Li Bing agreed.

On one hand, this is the Heavenly Star Sect. If an outsider from the Burning Blood Sect dares to kill someone casually, even a rogue cultivator, it could cause trouble. Besides, he still has Brother Lu!

He used to look down on people with connections, but when he had connections himself, he realized how great it was and how much peace of mind he had never felt before.

"Alright, senior, you can speak then!"

The elder of the Blood Burning Sect was overjoyed.

"Ah, that's more like it!"

"Look, I can pretty much understand your thinking. You'll feel completely relieved once you've paid off the debt, right?"

Li Bing nodded; this was indeed his idea.

"Hehehe, that's right, that's what everyone thinks!"

"But have you considered that whether you pay off the loan early or pay it off on time, the amount you pay will still be the same? It'll be the same sooner or later."

"If I were you, I would definitely save one or two installments of my life essence for repayment, and use the rest to buy life essence pills to improve my strength!"

"What era are we in now? A war between humans and demons! Foundation Establishment Sea Demons, which were once rare to encounter, are now everywhere!"

"The more you increase your strength, the more essence blood you will obtain; the more essence blood you have, the faster your strength will increase!"

"Don't you want to see the scenery above the Golden Core stage?!"

boom!

This last sentence completely shattered Li Bing's defenses.

At that moment, Li Bing's heart trembled.

Golden Core! This is a Golden Core!

At that moment, two images appeared in his mind simultaneously.

On one hand, Lu Changfeng advised him to be more cautious, and he knew that was the right thing to do, after all, you can't walk by the river without getting your shoes wet!

On the other hand, the elder of the Burning Blood Sect is also right. With the world changing so rapidly, cultivation levels will eventually depreciate to the Foundation Establishment stage.

But if I could seize this opportunity, wouldn't I be able to soar to great heights!

If I miss such a great opportunity, I might not be able to participate next time!

Li Bing was immediately caught in a deep dilemma.

The elder from the Burning Blood Sect couldn't help but smile upon seeing this scene.

The Burning Blood Sect has a rule that whoever handles a business gets 20% of the total value. Under such circumstances, he would naturally have to promote it vigorously!

Loan business requires evaluation, but exchanging monster blood for essence pills is just ordinary business. The returns are immediately available, making it a sure-fire way to make money.

As for what will happen if he can't repay the loan in the future, what does that have to do with him? He's just someone who offers advice.

Could he possibly refuse Li Bing's insistence on repaying the loan? If he dared to refuse, the Burning Blood Pool would be his final resting place.

After struggling for a long time, Li Bing finally made up his mind.

"Senior, I'll listen to you!"

The old man was overjoyed and immediately took out ten second-tier essence blood pills and handed them over.

"This is a second-tier, low-grade essence blood pill. I've reserved two batches of your demon beast essence blood for you. Is that acceptable to you?"

Li Bing naturally nodded repeatedly in agreement.

If each phase lasts for six months, then two phases would be a year. With such a long period of time, even if an accident occurs, there will be enough time to make up for it.

"I can accept it, I can accept it!"
