The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

The shopkeeper's words made Li Shengnan curious: "Shopkeeper, are you sure that the deputy head is really teaching well, but no one has been able to learn it in so many years?"

"Yes, the deputy headmaster has come out no less than 20 times over the years, and each time she would explain all her techniques in detail. But over the years, no one can say that they understand the deputy headmaster's techniques, and the deputy headmaster has never brought anyone back to Dandingmen," the shopkeeper did not hide it. "Later, fewer and fewer people came to see the deputy headmaster refine pills. Every time someone came to see her, they wanted to crack the deputy headmaster's techniques. Unfortunately, in the end, everyone was neither fish nor fowl and became a laughing stock."

At this point, the shopkeeper lowered his voice and continued in a voice that only the four people could hear: "In fact, those who come to see the deputy headmaster making pills are here to get benefits. The deputy headmaster will always distribute the refined pills to those who dare to come on stage to express their opinions. Of course, those who make trouble will be driven away by the deputy headmaster."

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Li Shengnan immediately became interested and was looking forward to the beginning of next month even more.

After the shopkeeper finished saying this, he returned to the counter, and Zeng Wenyu and the other two also walked towards their rooms. Not having rest for a day and a night was nothing for a cultivator, but the heat waves emitted from the alchemy furnace when Jiang Tianfu was refining the elixir made Zeng Wenyu sweat all over, and he smelled strongly of sweat, so he had to go back to the room to wash up.

The three of them were about to go up the stairs. Just when they were halfway there, a young man came down from upstairs facing them.

The young man had a weird look on his face, and his eyes sparkled when he saw Zeng Wenyu and the other two. A sense of pressure suddenly fell on Zeng Wenyu and the other two. They felt like they were stuck in a quagmire, and even moving became difficult.

The young man brushed past the three people, looked at Li Shengnan a few more times and whispered something when he passed by them. The three people suddenly felt as if they were on the edge of an abyss, and cold sweat began to seep out of their foreheads. If the young man had not walked down the stairs and withdrew his oppressive aura on the three people, the three people would not have been able to take a single step.

While the young man was away, the three of them immediately went upstairs and entered Zeng Wenyu's room without separating. After turning on the soundproofing array in the room, they breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked at each other, and silence spread in the room. After a long time, Zeng Wenyu asked Li Shengnan: "Senior sister, can you feel what his cultivation level is?"

"At least he is in the God Realm! Or even a powerful being in the Tribulation Realm!"

Li Shengnan's words made the atmosphere between the three people in the room even more heavy. They had thought that someone from the Hehuan Sect would chase after them, but they had never expected that the cultivation level of that person would be so high.

The young man was none other than the happy old man who had swallowed the fourth son's life essence and became younger. He found Zeng Wenyu and the other two, and also lived in the upper room of this inn. When he passed by the three of them, he left them a message: "The life of my fourth son is not so easy to take."

Zhang Qing stood up and walked to the door. After looking outside and finding no one, she turned and walked to Zeng Wenyu's side, her voice a little anxious: "What should we do? Should we change to another inn?"

"We can't change. Since the other party can find us accurately, it proves that he has some means to track us directly. No matter which inn we change to, he will find us."

"Then we just run? It's only a few dozen miles from here to Dandingmen. As long as we show the token Li Pingping gave us at the foot of Dandingmen Mountain, we should be able to go straight up the mountain, right? Then we can ask for protection from Dandingmen."

"Why? We have no relationship with Danding Sect now. Why should Danding Sect protect us? Qingqing, you are upset."

Zhang Qing was indeed panicked, but anyone would panic when faced with the pursuit of a powerful being in the God Realm or even the Calamity Realm.

"Don't panic! We can't panic now, and we absolutely can't leave Dancheng." Zeng Wenyu held Zhang Qing's hand, felt the sweat on her hand, and gently squeezed her hand. "The other party didn't attack us in Dancheng, which proves that he doesn't want to break the rules of Dancheng. But if we really leave Dancheng, then only death will greet us!"

There is only one rule in Dancheng: no one is allowed to cause trouble or attack others in Dancheng. Everyone who comes to Dancheng must abide by this rule, otherwise they will be subject to a hunting order issued by the Danding Sect.

In the past, someone had indeed broken this rule by relying on his cultivation in the divine realm, but that person's head was sent to Dancheng three days later. The Danding Sect had the head preserved, and it is still hanging on the stone slab with the rules written on it outside the Dancheng City Lord's Mansion. Since then, no one has dared to break the rules of Dancheng.

But if you have already left Dancheng, then I'm sorry, neither Dandingmen nor Dancheng will care about your life or death. Even if you are killed as soon as you leave Dancheng, no one will care.

As for whether someone would come to Dancheng to avoid being hunted down? Dancheng is not a real refuge. In Dancheng, you either stay in an inn or have your own residence. You are not allowed to wander the streets in Dancheng, otherwise you will be driven out of Dancheng. You can't stay in the inn as long as you want. Everyone can stay in the inn for a maximum of half a year. Once the half-year period is up, if you want to stay again, the price will not be the same as it is now.

“It’s not like we don’t have a way out of this situation.”

Hearing Li Shengnan's sudden words, Zeng Wenyu and Zhang Qing looked at her thoughtfully. There was indeed a way to break the impasse. If Li Shengnan could understand or learn the technique when the deputy leader of Danding Sect publicly refined the elixir at the beginning of next month, the technique that no one had ever truly learned, then she would be able to join Danding Sect with full justification and become a disciple of Danding Sect. At that time, let alone the people from Hehuan Sect who came after them, even if the leader of Hehuan Sect, Old Man Huanyu, came in person, it would be impossible for him to attack them.

Zeng Wenyu and the other two did not know that the young man they met before was the Happy Old Man. They were thinking about whether this matter had any chance of success. The key to breaking the deadlock was whether Li Shengnan could understand the deputy sect leader's methods. If not, they could only stay in Dan City for another four months at most. After four months, they would not have enough spirit stones to stay in the inn.

"Senior sister, are you sure?"

"Without seeing what the technique is, I'll give it a 50-50 chance. Only after I watch it live can I be sure whether I can learn it or not."

"If we fail in the end, let me buy some time. Senior Sister, take Qingqing and leave here!"

"impossible."
