Li Chengfeng knew Zhan Qisheng would definitely cause trouble for him but he did not expect Zhan Qisheng to be so impatient and impatient. He definitely did not expect Sun Boyi, who was polite just a moment ago, to be in cahoots with Zhan Qisheng in the blink of an eye.
After exiting the tunnel, Li Chengfeng realised that his surroundings were suddenly lit up. From his feet, beams of light extended in all directions of the room. Curious, Li Chengfeng used the light to look around. He realised that the walls of the tunnel were made of jade. The jade stones were arranged according to the patterns of arrays. They were the source of the light, giving off a warm and gentle glow.
He walked along this path until he reached a bright spot in front of him. The aurora was so bright that he couldn't open his eyes. He subconsciously used his hand to block the light, and when he walked forward again, he suddenly found himself halfway up the mountain. In front of him was a continuous line of stone pavilions, like a string of pearls embedded in the white and green winter mountain forest. The stone pavilions were full of people, some standing, some sitting, some pacing back and forth, some fidgeting restlessly. They were all attendants to the ceremony.
The moment Li Chengfeng came out, Yuehan, who had been hiding in the pavilion, opened her eyes. She heaved a sigh of relief and stood on her tiptoes to look at Li Chengfeng.
"Young Master, you're out!
You're the first! "
Li Chengfeng's crisp voice rang out. It was Yuehan, who had squeezed through the crowd and rushed towards him.
Yuehan was carrying her luggage, with two cloth bags hanging in front of her chest. She hopped towards Li Chengfeng like a fat rabbit. She staggered and almost fell. This was a masterstroke, completely distinguishing her from the thousand-faced demon who spied on Li Chengfeng and saved his life. Yuehan secretly praised herself for her acting skills, but just as she was being supported, she said happily, "Young Master, you …"
A gust of wind blew past. Li Chengfeng's sweat-drenched and blow-dried clothes emitted a strong stench, making Yuehan's head spin and her head spin. Instinctively, she struggled and jumped far away. Li Chengfeng was shocked. How was this girl so strong?
She pinched her nose and looked at him in disgust. "Young Master, you're smelly!"
Li Chengfeng looked down at himself and threw the fleeting thought to the back of his mind. He glared at Yuehan. "How dare you look down on me?
You wash the clothes! "
At first, Li Chengfeng did not understand why cultivators needed companions. Why couldn't they cultivate without money? But now, he understood. Cultivators were not immortals above the mortal world. They had to eat, drink and poop too. They had to wear clothes and eat too. Who would wash their dirty clothes?
Was he going to wash it himself?
What if there's no food to eat?
Buy it myself?
This was an era without Meituan. Even if there were shrewd merchants who would deliver it every day, would there really be cultivators who would dare to eat it?
Aren't you afraid that there are other things inside?
What if I don't have any magic treasures or talismans?
Of course, most cultivators would choose to make it themselves, but what about the materials?
Did he have to find and excavate the most basic materials by himself?
Cultivators needed someone to take care of these things or they would have to spend at least half of their time on these trivial matters. Plus, only companions from home would be more reassuring.
Of course, only the rich heiresses of Hidden Brocade Court and some of Hidden Beauty Court's rich daughters could enjoy this sort of treatment. As for the poor... they had to pray for their own luck.
The starting point of the rich was always higher than that of the poor. The world was so cruel, no matter how it changed.
Yuehan pouted and looked at Li Chengfeng unhappily. "Young Master, can we change the punishment?
This servant will help you cook, okay? "
Li Chengfeng laughed. "This is all your work, and you're still trying to bargain with me?"
She made a face. "Then I'm regretting it now. Can I go home?"
Li Chengfeng turned and walked towards Hidden Brocade Court. "It's too late, hurry up, I have to report to Hidden Brocade Court!"
"Wow, Young Master, you're in Hidden Brocade Court!" Yuehan exclaimed, attracting envious stares.
Li Chengfeng clasped his hands behind his back and nodded calmly at them as if he was inspecting an army. He even raised one hand and waved. "Good day, comrades!"
Of course, no one would respond with a slogan like 'serving the people'. They looked at him as if he was an idiot. Li Chengfeng did not feel awkward. He grinned and left.
After passing the test, the disciples of the Spiritual Mountain Sect treated Li Chengfeng differently. Even the Senior Brother politely showed him the way to Hidden Brocade Court.
Both of them arrived at the teleportation point. After a flash of light, they found themselves at the peak of a lone mountain. Strong winds blew around them, making them shiver.
The two of them looked towards the only stone staircase leading to the Lone Peak Teleportation Formation. Following the stone staircase, they saw a large group of magnificent palaces not far away. Some of them were as tall as pagodas, some were short but connected together. Some of them had strange shapes, and some of them stood alone outside the group of buildings.
Li Chengfeng and Yuehan clicked their tongues in wonder as they walked down the stone steps. Just as they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw a black shadow roll in front of them. Shocked, Li Chengfeng was about to kick it when he realised it was a person. A fat man as round as a ball.
"Aiyo, is this the new Junior Brother of Hidden Brocade Court?"
The fat man's face was round and full of meat. He looked adorable and adorable, reminding Li Chengfeng of Ah Bao from Kung Fu Panda.
"That's right, may I know your name?" Li Chengfeng did not dare to delay and quickly bowed in the Hidden Brocade Court's greeting.
Ah Bao grinned. "My surname is Zhang, my name is Jinbao. You can call me Senior Brother Dabao."
Heh, so he really was a 'Bao'?
If this guy and Xiaobao were together, they would be Big and Small Treasures! They could fly like rockets!
Li Chengfeng thought of Xiaobao and felt annoyed. I wonder how he's doing now?
He quickly composed himself. "Senior Brother Dabao, it's our first time meeting, please take care of me."
Dabao grinned. "Your Junior Brother is well-mannered, unlike those bastards from Hidden Brocade Court, each more arrogant than the last."
Li Chengfeng smiled. "Please take care of me along the way, Senior Brother Dabao."
A hint of craftiness and shrewdness flashed through Da Bao's eyes. He smiled and said, "That's exactly what I want. Come with me.
I'll bring you to my place. "
Zhang Jinbao led the way as Yuehan looked around curiously. She could not help but ask, "Senior Brother Dabao, you're so fat, can you cultivate too?"
Li Chengfeng hurriedly slapped her head and glared at her. "How rude!"
Zhang Jinbao laughed nonchalantly and rubbed his belly. "It's fine, it's fine, I …"
Li Chengfeng glared at Yuehan and yelled, "What are you talking about?!
You're just fat! "
Zhang Jinbao's smile froze and he laughed. "You're funny, Junior Brother!"
Li Chengfeng grinned. "Don't blame me, Senior Brother. I saw that you're so approachable so I couldn't help but joke."
Normal cultivators would love to make themselves look cold and intimidating, but this tickled Zhang Jinbao's itch. He laughed heartily, having a good impression of Li Chengfeng. "Junior Brother, you've got a good eye!
My business can be found within a few hundred miles of the Spiritual Mountain Sect. It's all because I'm approachable and amiable!
My nickname is Ruyi Bao, it's not just for show! "
Li Chengfeng was surprised. "Senior Brother, you do business?
And you do business in the Spiritual Mountain Sect?
This, this cultivation sect can also do business? "
In the past, most cultivators liked to inquire about the rules, methods, techniques, and even some opportunistic shortcuts of the cultivation sects. However, not many people looked up to this weirdo from the Spiritual Mountain Sect: a fat man who worked hard to do business in the cultivation sect.
Zhang Jinbao was extremely pleased with Li Chengfeng. He boasted, "Why not?
Where there are people, there will be Jianghu. Where there is Jianghu, there will be business. Junior Brother, in the future, no matter if you want to make talismans or magical artifacts, or if you fancy any beautiful Senior Sister or Junior Sister in Hidden Beauty Court, just tell your Senior Brother Dabao! "
Zhang Jinbao thumped his chest loudly, his expression indescribably perverted. Yuehan looked at him with disdain while Li Chengfeng looked impressed. "Ah, so Senior Brother Dabao is the Spiritual Mountain Sect's … pimp!"
Zhang Jinbao: "..."
