This Is Exactly How Cultivation Works

Chapter 48: Pure passerby

Views:

In the dim place, the outline of a human figure condensed, like a newborn baby, confused about everything in the outside world.

"Who am I, where am I... My name is..."

Boom! !

The black crack tore open, and devil's claws fell from the sky, pinching the new demon shadow.

Outside the void, a pair of red eyes slowly opened, staring at the magic shadow in his hand, and slowly said: "This is not the world you should come to. I am enough for you."

After saying that, the magic hand broke open the broken space in mid-air and threw the new magic shadow into it.

“Go, go to the human world of Jiuzhou. While you are still born, there is still a chance to return. Go find Lu Bei, grind him to ashes, and kill his soul. Cut off the shackles that imprison you and me!”

"Remember..."

"I have used the name Lu Nan, you are not allowed to use it again."

The broken space shrank and calmed down, and the scarlet eyes closed tightly, as if nothing had happened.

In the world of Jiuzhou, in the mountains that are unknown distance away from Langyu County, there are dangerous peaks standing in rows, and the sea of clouds is flowing like a white curtain.

A monk in white robes sits cross-legged on a dangerous peak, with an elegant and handsome face and red lotus patterns on his eyebrows. A huge golden sun pokes out from the sea of clouds, and its radiance comes towards him, as if he is blessed with a myriad of spiritual energy and has an indescribable holiness.

At this moment, a black shadow emerged from intangible to visible form, penetrated into the monk's body through the ears, eyes, mouth and nose, occupied the spiritual platform and polluted the golden body.

"Hey, it's actually a demon from outside the domain?"

The monk closed his eyes and frowned. "I heard that the demon from outer space descended into the world in ancient times. It has become a legend. He suddenly appeared today... Is it a warning that the world will be in chaos and evil will be born, or is it that I am too confused and attracted this demon?"

After a while, black fog surrounded and enveloped the monk's entire body. He exhaled, raised his hand and formed a demon-subduing seal. A golden wheel appeared behind him, and the black fog was dispelled in an instant.

The momentum continued, and the waves of the sea of clouds spread out, rolling in all directions. The strange mountains and steep cliffs hidden in the sea of clouds unfolded like a painting, scaring away the birds and beasts, and adding a row of freehand egrets to the painting.

“How dare a little devil disturb my peace? Well, my mind has been a little confused lately, so it’s a good opportunity for me to practice with your help.” The monk clasped his hands together and recited scriptures in a low voice.

Behind him, the demonic shadow reorganized itself after constantly disintegrating and pounced into his body again.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”

At the Yuhua Gate on Sanqing Peak, four little foxes are catching butterflies and birds in the backyard, occasionally huddling together to play and fight.

Lu Bei smiled and pushed open the door, saying to Hulu beside him: "When I leave the mountain in the future, you have to activate the formation, but don't attack and hurt innocent passers-by, understand?"

Hu Bo nodded, climbed up Lu Bei's trouser legs and onto his shoulders, her bright green eyes looking down the stone steps. She was very yearning for the outside world and wanted Lu Bei to take her out with her.

Ever since he entered Yuhua Gate, Hului's vigilance had dropped due to the corrosion of sugar-coated bullets. He had long lost the cautiousness and timidity he had in the wild, and he became particularly close to Lu Bei.

"No, I'm going to meet a witch today. She was born in the year of the snake. She can eat a little fox like you in one bite and swallow it in one gulp." Lu Bei threatened, holding Fate by the scruff of the neck and placing the Hubo by the door.

Lu Bei got up early, or to be more precise, he didn't sleep. He went fishing with Lin Yu the night before and took the Three-Transformation Peiyuan Pill last night. Since he became an immortal, he no longer has back pain or leg pain. He can climb up the Sanqing Peak in one breath and he feels more energetic.

After leaving Yuhuamen, Lu Bei went straight to Sijingfeng Emei Sect to do business and discuss with Ding Lei about expanding the shop, renovating the underground palace, and setting up a shed in the deep pool.

After a pleasant cooperation, Lu Bei was very impressed by the skilled craftsmen of Emei Sect. When it came to projects, he thought of them first.

As for Ding Lei's good words in front of Lin Yu, Lu Bei did not mention a word, let alone say thank you.

Handsome, friendly to neighbors, clean and honest... these are all true to the description, there is nothing to thank me for.

Ding Lei originally thought that Lu Bei came to catch a goose, but it turned out that Lu Bei came to do business with him. He waved to the disciple behind him, asking him not to rush to bring the goose out, and then served some tea and started a detailed conversation with Lu Bei.

After everything was finalized, Lu Bei left after paying the deposit, while Ding Lei asked someone to fetch the blueprints. He copied the previous plans and tailored several new plans for Yuhua Sect.

As for Lu Bei, he left Jiuzhu Mountain and arrived at the nearest Langyu County. After strolling through a few streets in the city, he followed the secret codes on the walls and trees and found She Xuan's hiding place.

A pawn shop is located at the entrance of a busy street, and is bustling with businessmen and wealthy families coming and going.

Lu Bei stopped and glanced at the tailor shop next door. He silently checked it a few times and strode into the pawnshop.

"What do you want to pawn, sir?"

An old man came forward with a bow, squinted his eyes and scanned Lu Bei's body, silently calculated his worth, and said with a smile: "If you want to buy some things to play with, follow me to the private room on the second floor. You can listen to my detailed explanation while you drink tea."

If you change to a younger girl, I will listen to your detailed explanation.

Lu Bei complained that the pawnshop didn't know how to do business. If it were him, he would...

He raised his hand to return the greeting, "Shopkeeper, I have an appointment with a friend to meet here. She is a bit old, so I usually call her Aunt Snake. Do you know, old lady?"

"So you're the boss's guest. Please wait a moment. I'll inform you right away." The shopkeeper didn't know who the old Aunt Snake was, but he did have a female boss named She.

The boss?!

Lu Bei watched the shopkeeper leave in silence, thinking to himself that it was impossible. With his age, it was no problem for an aunt like She Yan, who looked cold on the outside but charming on the inside, to be the owner of the business, but the location should definitely not be a pawnshop, it should be Yunshui Tower.

It’s a pity that I couldn’t ask She Xuan to come to Yunshui Tower for a while to massage her feet or something.

Soon, the shopkeeper returned and invited Lu Bei to go up to the third floor, directing him to the innermost room.

[You have been poisoned. After deducting the defense and poison immunity, your health remains unchanged.]

The moment he raised his hand to push the door, Lu Bei received a message. He curled his lips and looked down on the vengeful woman. She was too old to even care for the handsome boy. She was so narrow-minded, she must be single.

I wish you stay single forever!

Lu Bei silently sent his blessings, put on a harmless smile, walked around the ink-and-wash screen painted with mountains and rivers, and walked straight into She Xuan's boudoir.

After a moment, Lu Bei walked out in confusion: "Eh, she's not in the bedroom. I thought there would be a scene of undressing and me yelling at her... Am I overthinking?"

Next to the bed, there was a long couch with a coffee table. She Xuan, dressed in green, was leaning against it and half lying down. Her curvy figure attracted everyone's attention. If you ignore the little golden-scaled snake she was playing with in her hand, there must have been a lot of people trying to chat with her.

Hearing Lu Bei's shameless words, She Xuan thought to herself that it was still the same as before. She didn't bother to pay attention to the sword seller. She pointed her fingertips at the head of the small golden-scaled snake, teasing it to spit out its venom continuously.

"Aunt Snake, I haven't seen you for a while, but you are still as charming as ever. At first glance, you look like a little girl." Lu Bei sat on the couch and saw that She Xuan ignored him, so he poured himself some tea and started drinking it.

[You have been poisoned. After deducting the defense and poison immunity, your health remains unchanged.]

Lu Bei: “…”

To be honest, this woman is poisonous.

"Aunt Snake, I didn't expect you to have property in Langyu County. I was right about you. You are indeed a rich woman."

"Aunt Snake, is this pawnshop something you recently purchased, or have you owned it for a long time? If it was, I also have one in the mountains, and we are neighbors!"

"Auntie Snake, can I touch this little snake?"

"Aunt Snake, say something!"

"Call me Sister She." She Xuan said, unable to bear it any longer.

"Well, if you insist..."

Lu Bei shrugged, looked at the little golden snake and said, "Auntie Snake, can I touch this little snake?"

She Xuan: “…”
