Gou Zai's journey to the heavens in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 57 Tribe
"We have everything you need in this city."

The female cultivator looked at Chen Ming in front of her with a charming smile on her face: "Whether you want to buy a slave or a cauldron for dual cultivation, you can find the right one here."

"Where do these monks come from?"

Chen Ming looked at the monks bound by the formation around him and couldn't help but frown secretly.

Although he had long known that the cultivation world was cruel, the scene in front of him was still a bit horrifying.

The monks are tied here like goods for passers-by to choose from.

Just like a slave.

"They are basically family monks who were defeated and captured, and some were sold after their sects were destroyed."

The female cultivator said casually: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, those who can be sent here are basically safe. The families and sects behind them are generally extinct. Even if you buy them, no one will come to trouble you." .”

"You don't have to worry about control."

With a bright smile on her face: "All the monks here have been processed, and they have the marks and methods we have laid on them. If you Taoist friends buy them and hold the tokens, nothing will happen."

"What if something happens?"

Chen Ming glanced at the female cultivator in front of him.

"Of course we will compensate you."

The female cultivator was nonchalant and assured her: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, we have been doing this business for many years and we haven't had any problems so far."

"It looks good, but that's all."

Chen Ming looked around at the monks, and finally shook his head: "I just want to hire someone to take care of the courtyard for me, but it doesn't go as far as this."

Although he has been in this world for a long time, Chen Ming still has some resistance in his heart.

After all, killing is killing, but trading others as slaves is another matter entirely.

"That's easy to say."

The female cultivator smiled: "Do you have any needs, fellow Taoist?"

"Cultivation doesn't matter, but it's best to be reliable. It would be better if you know some spiritual plant care techniques."

Chen Ming said casually.

He has no need for the monks he hires, as long as they can help him take care of the courtyard regularly.

As for the way of spiritual cultivation, it would be great if you know how to do it.

His courtyard is full of spiritual energy, which can be used to grow some undemanding elixirs, which can also be considered as an extra income.

"That's all."

In front of him, the female cultivator couldn't help but nodded after hearing Chen Ming's request: "It's quite easy to find."

"Fellow Taoist, please go back and wait for the news. I will send someone to deliver the list to your house tomorrow."

Chen Ming nodded, turned around and left.

The next day, when the sun had just risen, someone came from outside the hospital.

This is someone from Qingfeng Pavilion who came here specially to deliver the list.

Chen Ming looked at it casually.

On the list are the detailed cultivation levels of the employed monks, the skills they have mastered, and the spiritual stones required for employment.

Chen Ming looked at it casually, then froze.

"Chen Qiuling?"

On the list, Chen Ming saw a familiar name.

"Could it be."

He stood there, thinking for a moment, and then took a closer look.

Apart from the name, the rest of his cultivation seems to match.

He suddenly had an inexplicable premonition.

"Let's see it first."

After thinking for a moment, he made a decision.

As the decision was made, he waved his hand gently and checked off Chen Qiuling's name on the list.

The next day, outside Chen Ming's courtyard, a strange figure walked slowly.

This is a woman who doesn't look too old.

The woman, who was probably in her early twenties, was wearing a white robe and had a delicate face. She was standing silently outside the courtyard in front of her, looking a little distracted at the scenery inside.

"I wonder if this family's requirements will be very high."

Looking at the huge courtyard in front of her, Chen Qiuling couldn't help but have a look of envy on her face.

The courtyard in front of him seemed not big to Chen Ming, but in fact it was not too small in the eyes of other casual cultivators.

Qingshui City is a big city after all. If you want to buy a courtyard like this in Qingshui City, it will cost at least one or two hundred spirit stones.

And this is already a huge number for ordinary casual cultivators. At this moment, Chen Qiuling looked at the courtyard in front of her with envy in her heart. At the same time, she silently made a decision in her heart to stay as much as possible.

Compared to several other places he could go, the aura of this place was obviously much more abundant.

Obviously the owner of this place is not very short of spiritual stones, so he doesn't save much. The spiritual energy gathered by the magic circle is much better than other places.

If she could stay, she could stay here to practice in the future, which would be better than other places.

But when she entered, she couldn't help but be stunned.

In the courtyard, a young man stood quietly under a peach tree.

The young man is handsome, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he has a refreshing aura about him that is unforgettable at first sight.

But the most important thing is that the young man's appearance is strikingly similar to a certain clan member in Chen Qiuling's memory.

"You you are"

Looking at the young man standing in front of her, Chen Qiuling couldn't help but hesitate, as if she was unsure.

Although he looks ordinary, compared to the downcast appearance in her memory, the change in the other person at this moment is really too big.

Even though the other person was standing there right now, AT was a little afraid to recognize him.

"Sister Qiuling, it's been a long time."

When she hesitated, the other party spoke and called out her name.

Chen Qiuling felt relieved, now she was sure.

"Ziming, it's really you."

She looked at Chen Ming in front of her, her face full of joy at this moment.

That is the joy of seeing loved ones.

"it's me."

Standing under the peach tree, Chen Ming nodded with a smile on his face.

Chen Ming was not a casual cultivator from the beginning.

At the beginning, he also came from a cultivating family. However, because his parents died early and his own qualifications were too poor, he could no longer obtain support from the family's resources, so he simply left and became a casual cultivator.

However, even if he became a casual cultivator, it did not mean that the connections he had known before were completely gone.

In the past, he also had some close friends in the Chen family, and Chen Qiuling in front of him was one of them.

However, compared to Chen Ming, her qualifications were undoubtedly much better, so she had been practicing within the clan before Chen Ming left and had no intention of leaving.

The clan members met each other, and the two chatted here, becoming a little unfamiliar and becoming familiar again.

Only then did Chen Ming ask: "I remember that you were still practicing in the clan before, why did you leave?"

Chen Qiuling's face suddenly turned gloomy: "I have reached a bottleneck in my practice. I have made no progress for three full years. I am still at the third level of Qi Refining. What's the use of continuing to stay in the clan."

The resources within the cultivating family are not unlimited.

As age continues to grow, if the clan members' cultivation level shows no signs of improvement, the resources available to them will continue to decrease.

Unless your spiritual roots are truly outstanding, or you have a special status and have an elder who is a great monk behind you, you cannot escape this result.

It was for this reason that Chen Ming left in the first place to find his own way.

Now, it's Chen Qiuling's turn.

"I see."

Listening to Chen Qiuling's experience, Chen Ming also nodded to express his understanding.

"Now that you're here, let's stay here."

He smiled: "It just so happened that I met Sister Qiuling when I first came to Qingshui City. It was fate."

"That's not bad."

Chen Qiuling couldn't help but smile, and she couldn't help but relax.

Compared with the various situations imagined before, being able to be under the hands of one's old friends is undoubtedly the best result.

As for why Chen Ming was in Qingshui City and how he could afford this villa, she did not ask in detail.

It is taboo to ask about other people's opportunities, even if they are blood relatives.

She has also been working hard outside for a while and will not make such stupid mistakes.

After Chen Qiuling left, Chen Ming stood there, looking at her back thoughtfully.

"It seems that the current situation in the clan is not very good, otherwise she wouldn't have to give up."

Although they didn't talk too much, Chen Ming could still judge some things from the basic information.

Chen Qiuling's qualifications are not very bad. Although she also has a low-grade spiritual root, she is very close to the middle-grade one, far better than Chen Ming.

Such people, if they practice normally, can reach the fourth level of Qi Refining, but now they are abandoned by the clan and have to go out to find their own way.

This is evident from the current situation of the Chen family.
