Chapter 144 Trends in the Immortal Cultivation World

The three of them chatted about the current situation for a while.

When they learned that during this retreat, not only had his cultivation reached the seventh level of Qi refining, but his alchemy skills had also made great progress, the two girls were sincerely happy for him.

However, the business in the store is now good, and customers come in from time to time, so the three of them can only agree to wait until Liang Wan'er comes back in the evening, and then sit together and have a good chat.

Originally, he was planning to help the two of them.

After all, he spends most of his time in seclusion, just like a hands-off shopkeeper, and feels that he owes a lot to the two girls.

"Okay, don't hang around here anymore, just let me and Ting Lan take care of you.

You have just come out of quarantine, so go for a walk outside and relax! "

Luo Xinran suggested with a smile.

"Sister Xinran is right, it's enough to have us here, and it's not too busy!"

Xu Tinglan said as she pushed him out of the store.

If a Taoist couple is like this, what more can I ask for!

Xu Feng couldn't refuse the kindness of the two girls, and since he had been in seclusion for such a long time, he was very restless, so he went directly to the street.

It's around noon now. Usually, this time period has the most pedestrians in the day.

But now there are not many monks. It seems like what Luo Xinran said, many casual monks are attracted to Baiyunfang City.

He walked along the street and saw many shops on both sides that were closed. He didn't know whether they closed down because of poor business or chose to open stores elsewhere.

In this way, he walked from West Street to East Street.

The place has not changed much, it is still very noisy, monks come in an endless stream, and the prosperity remains unabated.

As he walked, he came to the door of Jufu Pavilion, touched the storage bag on his waist with his left hand, and walked into the store with his legs up.

There were no customers in the store at the moment, only Yinglong stood behind the counter, writing and doing calculations.

After not seeing each other for a year, the other party's strength has also increased a lot. Like him, he has become a seventh-level Qi refining monk.

"Sir, you want to..."

Yinglong, who sensed the guest coming in, quickly raised his head and was about to greet him with a smile, but found Xu Feng staring at him with a smile on his face.

"Master Xu is here, please sit down and serve tea!"

Yinglong looked horrified, got out from behind the counter, cupped his fists and saluted, and invited.

"Brother Ying, didn't I tell you? We don't have to be too polite with each other. I don't like what I hear."

Xu Feng got goosebumps when he heard this title and felt particularly awkward.

No one has called him that since he was a child, and he really can't adapt.

"No, this is Master's special order. I am now an outer disciple of the Jiugong Sect.

And you are equivalent to the core disciple of the sect. The gap between our identities is too large, so we can only call you this way, otherwise there will be no distinction between superiority and inferiority. "

Yinglong acted very reserved, which made him feel very bored, so he could only say in a business-like manner:

"It's up to you! Where is your master? Ask him to come out. I have something to ask."

Before returning to Tianyunfang City, Elder Xiang called him and the old shopkeeper together and gave special instructions.

From now on, Master Yinglong and his apprentice must obey Xu Feng's orders. If they encounter any difficult problem that cannot be solved, they can be asked to help find a solution.

However, Xu Feng did not use the chicken feathers as arrows. Except for last year when he came to pay the talisman and seal script that the second-class guest minister was supposed to hand in every year, he had never been here again.

Besides, he didn't have anything that needed the two of them to do. He was busy enough just in retreat.

"Master is in the back hall, I will call you now."

"Forget it, I'll go look for it in the back hall myself. You can continue your work!"

"Master, walk slowly!"

"Eh!"

Xu Feng's goosebumps rose again, and he quickly walked into the back hall.

The old shopkeeper who heard the commotion had already come out of the refining room, and the two of them looked directly at each other.

"Fellow Daoist Xu is here, please take a seat."

Since returning from Qianyangfang City, the old shopkeeper's name for him has also changed, from Xiaoyou to the more formal Taoist friend.

Xu Feng didn't bother to refute him. After bowing his hands, he found a stool and sat down without waiting for the other party to give way.

"Old shopkeeper, I have been in retreat recently and am not very clear about the current situation in the world of immortality. I am here specifically to ask for advice."

He directly stated his purpose of coming. What Luo Xinran said just now, the news that Baiyunfang City was conquered by the Demon Cult still lingered in his mind.

He began to worry about his own safety.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please tell me everything I know."

The old shopkeeper nodded.

These small strongholds scattered in various cities will receive the latest trends in the world of immortality from the Jiugong station in Qianyangfang City every once in a while.

"Has the Demon Sect made any other big moves since they last attacked Baiyunfang City? What are the trends of the Tianjian Sect? What is the current situation of our Tianyunfang City?"

He asked several questions in one breath that he wanted to know the answers to.

"The Demon Cult probably won't make any big moves recently."

The old shopkeeper answered the first question, then explained the reason, and also mentioned the movements of the Tianjian Sect.

It turns out that since the Demon Sect conquered Baiyunfang City, they immediately suffered violent retaliation from the Tianjian Sect.

The leader of the Tianjian Sect in the middle stage of the Golden Core took action personally and directly destroyed an important stronghold of the Demon Sect. Not only did he kill two old demons in the early stage of the Golden Core, but also countless other demon cultivators below the Golden Core.

It can be said that after this battle, the Demon Sect's vitality was severely damaged, and it has not come out to cause trouble for more than half a year.

"As for the situation in our Tianyun Market, there is no big problem for the time being.

But no one dares to guarantee that it will be safe here.

Unless the demonic plague is completely eradicated this time, everything is hard to say."

At this point, the old shopkeeper paused, stared at him, and then said:

"The Pavilion Master Meng in Ganyang Market has sent another letter, saying that he is worried about your safety and advises you to move there as soon as possible. How should I reply? Please give me some advice."

In fact, when he came to Ju Fu Pavilion last year, the old shopkeeper mentioned this matter, but he still had things to do, so he did not give a clear answer.

"Just reply like this, just say that I will definitely move to Ganyang Market within half a year, and let the Pavilion Master not worry too much."

The time for the alchemy competition is four months later. When he helps Liang Lao complete his last wish, it is time to leave.

After inquiring about the news, he said goodbye to the old shopkeeper and his apprentice, and slowly walked out of Ju Fu Pavilion.

After walking a long way, he looked back again. He knew that this separation might be a farewell forever.

Xu Feng did not return to Tongxin Pavilion immediately, but wandered around East Street. After going in and out of many shops to ask, he found that the prices in the market had indeed risen a lot.

When he returned, it was almost dark.

He found that not only Liang Wan'er, who had been busy in the medicine field for a day, had returned, but even Liang Lao had also come out of retreat.
