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

Chapter 70 Violent demand for wages
"new world."

Looking at the reminder in front of him, Chen Ming murmured to himself, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

He was a little eager to try this new world.

The first world, Golden Snake Sword, is a low-martial world with no monks in it. The master with the highest level of cultivation among the warriors can only be compared with the monks at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

So what will happen in this new world?

Chen Ming lowered his head and looked in front of him.

Outside the world of Golden Snake Sword, a new world has emerged.

However, compared to the clear visibility of the Golden Snake Sword World, this new world is now full of fog.

The layers of fog blocked Chen Ming's sight, making it difficult for him to see everything clearly. He could only vaguely see a name.

Bloody Cave!

"Blood Qi Cave?"

Chen Ming frowned.

With the experience of the Golden Snake Sword World, he knew that the name of this new world was probably some kind of hint.

It contains clues to the original information.

However, the name Xueqi Cave sounds like the name of a certain place.

Could it be that he was required to find this place in this new world?

Chen Ming was a little curious, but he didn't do much in a short period of time.

Having just returned from the Golden Snake Sword World, he still has a lot of things to deal with at the moment.

It’s never too late to enter the new world.

He walked out of the cave and came to the outside.

Here, he saw that the spiritual grass on the ground was a little sparse and looked a little uneven, as if it had been picked roughly.

Chen Ming frowned, didn't say anything more, and just walked out silently.

"Ziming!"

Chen Qiuling's voice came from outside, sounding quite happy.

She walked out of the cave and looked at Chen Ming in front of her with a smile on her face: "Aren't you going to retreat?"

"After five years of seclusion, I have gained something. It's time to come out and take a walk."

Looking at Chen Qiuling in front of him, Chen Ming smiled: "It just so happens that some things should be dealt with."

"What happened to your injuries?"

he asked.

Chen Qiuling looked normal in front of her, but her aura was a little unstable, and she was obviously injured.

However, because it is not too serious, it is not obvious from the surface.

"It's okay, it's just that something went wrong during practice."

Listening to Chen Ming's words, Chen Qiuling was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and just smiled.

Seeing her reaction as usual, Chen Ming nodded and said nothing more.

At this time, there was a sudden breath coming from the outside world.

Looking up, a middle-aged man walked slowly over with no expression on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, it's time to pay the rent."

Chen Qiuling's expression suddenly changed.

"Rent fee?"

Chen Ming had doubts on his face.

"Oh, Master Chen is out of seclusion?"

There was a look of surprise on the middle-aged man's face, but his attitude did not change: "The so-called rent is naturally the rent for renting the cave."

"If I remember correctly, this cave was originally leased to me by your young master. Where did this rent come from?"

Chen Ming was a little confused.

"Of course Master Chen Dan has no problem, but this fellow Daoist Chen is different."

A faint smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face: "You are a worshiper of my clan, but this fellow Taoist is not."

"She practices here, and what she consumes every day is the spiritual energy of our clan's spiritual veins, so she naturally needs to pay rent."

"This is different from what was originally promised."

"Besides...if I remember correctly."

The smile on Chen Ming's face gradually disappeared, and now he understood what was going on: "In the agreement I made with Young Master Song, in addition to this cave, there must be many rewards for refining elixirs."

"I've been in seclusion for five years, and I haven't seen these things yet."

Being a guest is not for nothing.

The reason why Chen Ming agreed to come as a guest was that in addition to the treatment in this cave, the Song family also gave him a good remuneration for alchemy.

In order to fulfill the agreement, Chen Ming also deliberately prepared five years of elixirs to hand over before entering the world of Golden Snake Sword.

He hadn't gone to collect his reward yet, but to his surprise, the money collector came first.

"Then I don't know."

The middle-aged man stood there, looking at Chen Ming in front of him, with an expression on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile: "Deacon Song Sheng told me this, and I was just following the order."

Song Sheng?

Chen Ming was thoughtful.

He still remembered this name. It seemed to be an uncle of Song Fang's clan, and he had never been able to get along well with her.

So, does this count as being involved in an internal dispute within the Song family?
"Ziming."

Chen Qiuling shook her head at Chen Ming, then looked at the middle-aged man in front of her: "It's just three spiritual stones, I'll give them to you."

For a casual cultivator like her, swallowing one's anger is the most basic story when traveling on weekdays, and she has long been used to it.

Since the other party is stronger than her, she must be careful and patient.

"Three spiritual stones are not enough now."

The middle-aged man glanced at Chen Ming and saw that he did not speak, with disdain in his eyes: "According to the deacon's instructions, starting from this month, five spiritual stones will be required every month."

In fact, the share that Song Sheng promised was only two spiritual stones per month.

As the deacon of the Song family, Song Sheng wanted to express his dissatisfaction in this way, thus forcing Chen Ming and Chen Ming to leave.

The five spiritual stones were added by himself.

After all, as long as things don't get too big, these extra spiritual stones will eventually be his own.

Even if the matter got serious and they really went to Miss Fang, the most they would do was give her a scolding.

Song Sheng will definitely protect it
And judging from the cowardly appearance of the man in front of him, I am afraid that he may not have the courage to cause trouble in the clan. He has seen many casual cultivators like this before him. Even if he has some skills, it doesn't matter. Facing the big tree of the Song family, even if he suffers a loss, he can only grit his teeth and swallow it.

All kinds of thoughts passed through my mind one by one.

But suddenly, he realized something was wrong.

The vision in front of him was shaking violently.

Slowly, a headless corpse appeared in front of him, giving him a very familiar feeling.

That's his body.

I am dead?
This thought flashed through the middle-aged man's mind, followed by a feeling of disbelief.

How dare he.
All kinds of thoughts ran through his mind until his vision turned dark.

In front of him, Chen Ming looked at the middle-aged man who fell to the ground, with a look of surprise on his face.

Dare to talk so much in front of him, he thought he was capable.

I never thought that it would just fall over at the first touch.

"Ziming!"

Chen Qiuling was stunned: "Did you kill him?"

"It's just a matter of refining Qi. If you kill him, you'll kill him."

Chen Ming didn't care about Chen Qiuling's reaction and just said softly: "Let's go."

After the words fell, he stepped outside.

Chen Qiuling quickly followed.

She originally thought that Chen Ming was planning to escape from the Song family, but slowly she realized something was wrong.

Why are we going in the wrong direction?
"Ziming, the Song family's residence is ahead!"

Chen Qiuling turned pale and reminded loudly.

"Yes."

Chen Ming nodded, with a serious expression on his face: "They still haven't paid me the alchemy remuneration they owed me for five years."

"You must take this reward at the door of departure."

He said it very naturally.

After all, if wages are in arrears, they have to come to ask for them.

This is the most legitimate thing to do.

Chen Qiuling was stunned again.

If you kill someone and still want to come to ask for payment, is this really going to happen?
She wanted to escape, but looking at Chen Ming's forward figure in front of her, she finally gritted her teeth and quickly followed.

They walked all the way through the perimeter and arrived at the Song family's residence.

"Alchemist Chen, you are a rare visitor."

Song Sheng looked at Chen Ming in front of him, his face full of surprise.

Counting the time, Chen Ming has been in seclusion for five years and has not shown up for five full years.

This time when he showed up, the other party didn't come to find Song Fang, but came to him instead, which was really surprising.

"Manager Song."

Chen Ming said calmly: "I have been in seclusion for five years and have not heard of foreign affairs. I heard that your subordinates have collected spiritual stones from people around me."

"Is there such a thing?"

The expression on Song Sheng's face remained unchanged: "Perhaps my subordinates made a mistake somewhere. I will give you an explanation after I investigate in detail."

Chen Ming looked at his face in silence for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now."

"Then the reward for refining alchemy for the past five years must be given to me."

"Your Song family has a big business, so you don't think you have to rely on me, a casual cultivator."

"Remuneration for alchemy?"

A faint smile appeared on Song Sheng's face: "I really don't know this. Miss Fang never told me this before she left."

"If you want to find this reward, you might as well wait until Miss Fang comes."

"So, you don't want to give it?" Chen Ming's voice sounded in his ears.

Looking at Song Sheng in front of him, Chen Ming seemed to be relieved: "That's good."

That's good?
Song Sheng was stunned.

What do you mean?
If I don't pay you, shouldn't you be angry and unwilling?

Why do you look so happy?

But the next moment, he understood.

A long knife was pulled out suddenly and slashed down at this moment.

The terrifying force crushed him down in an instant, carrying a terrifying aura of mana.

Song Sheng reacted immediately, with a look of shock and anger on his face.

Good guy, this is asking for pay through violence.

If I don’t give it to you, you have to get it yourself, right?

The long knife passed through the air, leaving a trace.

Song Sheng was not worried about the person in front of him, and even sneered in his heart.

He is a dignified eighth-level Qi refining person, and his cultivation is far above Chen Ming.

If Chen Ming dared to use the knife on him, he was simply asking for death.

He waved his hand casually, his magic power surged, and he was ready to block the knife.

In order to show his confidence, he didn't even activate the magic weapon.

However, the next moment, the long knife fell completely.

boom!
Song Sheng's body immediately flew out.

A huge knife mark appeared on his body, almost cutting him in half.

Looking at this scene, everyone present was stunned.

They also noticed Song Sheng's confident performance before.

Is this the result?

"you!"

Song Sheng fell to the ground, looking at Chen Ming with a horrified expression.

Only he, the person involved, knew the power contained in the sword just now.

The other party is definitely not at the sixth level of Qi refining!
