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

Zeng Wenyu nodded, as if he didn't notice the greedy look of the steward, and walked to the rest area at the back.

Many cultivators had gathered in the resting place, chatting about something in groups of three or four. When they saw Zeng Wenyu, they felt that there was no spiritual energy fluctuation from him, so they ignored him.

This was perfect. Zeng Wenyu didn't want to say much to these people, so he found a place where no one was around and sat down alone. He took out a piece of dried meat from his storage bag and slowly ate it with his teeth.

The sun gradually set and the night soon fell. All the merchants, big and small, from the caravan had arrived. Zeng Wenyu also put most of the ground dried meat into the storage bag. He knew that the caravan was about to set off.

The sound of horses neighing could be heard continuously, and a long line of horse-drawn carriages carrying goods formed. At the shout of the leading merchant, the caravan began to leave for the outside of Dancheng.

The official road was very wide. Even with a caravan consisting of many merchants and so many guarding monks, it did not seem congested when walking on the official road. Moreover, it seemed that this caravan often took this road, and even with only torches for poor lighting, they would not go wrong.

The monks did not need much rest, and the caravan had to travel as quickly as possible, so they had almost no rest along the way. It was not until the third day after leaving Dan City that the caravan stopped beside a grassland to rest and let the spirit horses pulling the car have a rest.

Many people got off the carriage. The big businessmen had been sitting in the carriage all the way and only got off now to get some fresh air. As for the small businessmen like Zeng Wenyu, they either followed on horseback or walked behind.

This distance was nothing to Zeng Wenyu, but he didn't want to seem out of place, so he found a place to sit down, and a monk walked up to him quickly: "Boss, the steward said he has something to do with you over there."

He stood up helplessly, followed the monk and left with him.

As they walked, the two men were already far away from the caravan. No matter what happened here, the people on the caravan would not notice it. It was at this time that the monk stopped.

"What's going on? Where is the manager?" Looking at the surrounding scenery, Zeng Wenyu asked the monk who was leading the way in front.

"Please wait a moment, the steward will be here soon."

After waiting here for a while, the steward appeared from the side, followed by a monk. The two of them walked towards Zeng Wenyu.

"Brother, we meet again."

"Yeah, I wonder what you want from me here, Steward?"

"What's the matter? Brother, don't you think there are too many things in your storage bag? The caravan provided you with protection, and you only paid one low-grade spirit stone. Isn't it a little too little?"

Zeng Wenyu smiled and took out another low-grade spirit stone from his storage bag: "How about I add another one?"

"Less! Too little!"

After putting the low-grade spirit stone back into the storage bag, Zeng Wenyu took out a medium-grade spirit stone. The manager looked at the medium-grade spirit stone in Zeng Wenyu's hand with more and more greed in his eyes, but Zeng Wenyu put the medium-grade spirit stone away again. The manager was about to speak when he saw Zeng Wenyu take out a high-grade spirit stone from the storage bag. The manager's eyes were wide open at this high-grade spirit stone, and he had never taken his eyes off it since Zeng Wenyu took out the high-grade spirit stone.

"Yes, you are very sensible. Give me this high-quality spiritual stone. I will have the hired monks protect you during the rest of the journey."

Zeng Wenyu shook his head and took out another top-grade spirit stone from his storage bag: "Don't worry, I have another top-grade spirit stone here."

"Okay! Give them all to me, and I'll keep you safe along the way!"

Zeng Wenyu took two high-grade spirit stones and walked a few steps towards the steward. Just when the steward thought he was going to get the two high-grade spirit stones, Zeng Wenyu suddenly stopped and said, "No, that's not right. I thought about it again. In the end, it was the cultivators who protected me. Why should I give the high-grade spirit stones to you? Can't I just give them to the two cultivators?"

"Hehe, they are all monks trained by me. You don't think that such a simple attempt to sow discord between them will make them attack me, right?"

Although the manager said this, his body clearly took half a step back, and it seemed that he was on guard against the two monks.

Zeng Wenyu laughed when he saw this action. He took out another jade bottle from his storage bag and slightly uncorked it, letting some of the fragrance of the elixir inside float out. "Two high-grade spirit stones won't work. What if I add this bottle of elixir? This is an elixir made by the core disciple of Danding Sect. You should all know what the effects of the elixir made by the core disciple of Danding Sect are, right?"

The rich fragrance of the elixir soon dissipated on the grassland, but it lingered on the noses of the three people. What's more, Zeng Wenyu said that this was the elixir refined by the core disciples of Danding Sect. They could only buy the elixir refined by the outer disciples at most, and they had only heard about the elixir refined by the outer disciples.

"Alas, it's a pity that I only have this bottle of medicine. When I bought it, the core disciple said that the medicine in this bottle can only exert its maximum effect if it is taken by one person. What should I do?"

As soon as Zeng Wenyu finished speaking, he saw greed in the eyes of the three people over there. Then, before Zeng Wenyu could say anything, the two monks attacked the steward at the same time.

The manager was no pushover either. The two cultivators were in the middle stage of the Dan realm, while the manager was in the late stage of the Dan realm. The sudden attack did catch the manager off guard and he suffered some injuries. But he attacked immediately after being injured, and the magic in his hand also hit the two cultivators.

Unfortunately, unlike the two monks he brought with him, the manager usually lived a life of luxury and would never fight with others. He soon fell into a disadvantage under the siege of the two monks. Then the two monks began to guard against each other. After all, there was only one bottle of the elixir, and they both wanted to keep it for themselves, so it was impossible for them to let the other succeed.

The two monks were not on the same page, which gave the manager an opportunity. He found a gap and immediately fled in the direction of the caravan. The two monks did not want him to return to the caravan, so they chased after him immediately. Seeing the three people running away while the other two were chasing, Zeng Wenyu also followed behind them.

After all, the steward was in the late Dan realm, so he was able to escape from the two middle Dan realm cultivators and quickly fled back to the camp. When the cultivators in the camp saw this scene, they immediately surrounded the steward and separated the two cultivators outside.

"What happened? Manager Hu, are you injured? Aren't those two monks who have always been following you? Why are they chasing you?"

"Miss! Miss, help me! They! They have been bewitched and want to kill me!"
