A small independent cultivator without any sect or school, but made a deal with the Heavenly Dao

The casual cultivator didn't see any unusual movement behind him, but his long experience told him that something was wrong with this place, so he should hurry back to the inn.

He ran back to the inn in one breath and hid in his own room. The casual cultivator quickly took out a defensive array plate, set it up, and summoned his own magic weapon. He started hacking at the place outside the array, but unfortunately he didn't hit anything.

Seeing that nothing happened, the casual cultivator thought that he had not rested enough recently, so he lay down on the bed and prepared to take a nap. Not long after he lay down, the casual cultivator quickly sat up again and chopped at other places for a while.

He found that there was still nothing. It seemed that he had been worrying too much. This time he could finally lie down with peace of mind.

Zi Mei looked at the casual cultivator who had finally fallen asleep, feeling a little uneasy. She deliberately moved in front of him a few times, and when she found out that he was really asleep, she secretly opened his storage bag, but found that there was no Azure Bamboo inside.

Zi Mei couldn't believe her eyes. She had been following him since he got the Azure Bamboo and watched him put it into his storage bag. Why was it gone now? Did he have a storage space like Xiao Li?

But Cang Cang had said before that there would only be one person like him in a world, so where did this casual cultivator put his things?

Suddenly, the casual cultivator turned over, still talking in his sleep, "Miss Su, I'm willing to do anything for you. I'll give you the items from the auction right now." As he spoke, he reached under his waist to take something.

When Zi Mei saw where the cultivator's hand was, she wanted to slap him to death. Fortunately, she didn't let Xiao Li do that. This pervert actually hid the thing there, luckily it was put in a storage bag.

Zi Mei quickly took out the Azure Bamboo, then put the identical thing that Xiao Li had made using the Clone Puppet Technique into his storage bag, and then stuffed it back in place with disgust.

Just wait for this casual cultivator to wake up and remove the formation, then Zi Mei can go back to find Xiao Li and the others. Unfortunately, no one knew what this casual cultivator was dreaming about. He turned over and went back to sleep.

Thinking of what Xiaoli said about the need to fight quickly and decisively to avoid any further accidents, Zi Mei had to recall the key points that Cang Cang mentioned when he set up the formation. Looking at the defensive formation of this casual cultivator, it should not be very powerful, so Zi Mei decided to break the formation by herself.

Fortunately, it is much easier to break the formation from the inside than from the outside. There was a bang, and the wandering cultivator was so scared that he sat up directly from the bed. He saw a phantom running out of the window.

The casual cultivator looked at his storage bag. Everything was there, even the Azure Bamboo he had just bought at the auction today. He was going to give it to Miss Su. The formation was also in good condition. So what was that thing just now?

Suddenly I remembered a rumor that ghosts are not bound by formations and can break in directly. The reason I lived in this house before was because someone died there. Could it be that the ghost of the person who died before has come back to seek revenge?

Thinking of this, the cultivator's hairs suddenly stood up. He shouted and rushed out of the house, shouting as he ran, "There is a ghost. It's haunted. The ghost in this house is back for revenge."

He quickly rushed to the street, where people were coming and going, full of yang energy. He thought the ghosts would not dare to bother him. A wandering cultivator was shouting on the street, "This inn is haunted, don't stay there, I saw it with my own eyes."

A pale-faced man sat in a beast cart parked on the side of the road, quietly listening to his subordinates' report, "Master, I just heard that the auction at Tianxin Tower has ended, and the Jin Zhiyu has been bought by someone. I am incompetent, and it's all my fault for wasting time."

"No problem. Since someone has already bought it, just go and find out who it is and then snatch it back."

"Master, don't worry. I won't fail this time. How about you eat something and take a rest? I heard that the food in the restaurant in front is good. How about you go and try it?"

"Okay, let's go eat something first."

At this time, Pei Cangli had just received the Tianqing bamboo that Zimei had obtained, ordered some food, and was chatting casually with Hongyu when he heard someone shouting at the door, "There is a ghost, that inn is haunted."

Everyone in the hall was attracted by this. They walked to the door and asked the casual cultivator with a sneer, "You said it was haunted. What did the ghost look like? Didn't the ghost eat you?"

The casual cultivator said dissatisfiedly, "The ghost went back for revenge. I didn't kill him. He saw that I was not the one who harmed him, so he definitely wouldn't eat me. When he saw that I woke up, he ran away from the window like a shadow."

"Tsk, it's just a shadow, and you call it a ghost. Why don't you say it's a fairy from the sky?"

The people around him burst into laughter. The casual cultivator saw that no one believed him, so he looked around and said in a low voice, "What do you know? Before I rested, I had already set up a defensive formation in the house, but that phantom ran out directly from the formation. What else could it be but a ghost?"

After saying this, the faces of several people around changed, and they hurriedly asked cautiously, "Have you heard of that rumor too?"

When the casual cultivator saw that someone agreed with him, he said arrogantly, "Of course, otherwise how could I be so sure that it was haunted."

When the others saw that they were in a state of confusion, they looked at the cultivator and asked, "What's the rumor? Tell us about it."

Just as Sanzheng was about to say something, he saw an animal cart pull up to the door of the restaurant. The shopkeeper came out, drove them away, asked them to go talk aside, and then hurried to greet the people getting out of the animal cart.

The pale man got out of the car, and his entourage immediately stepped forward and opened an umbrella to cover the man's head. As soon as he entered the restaurant hall, he saw Pei Cangli wearing an ice-blue cloak.

"Master, isn't that the female cultivator you saw at the casual cultivator selection competition? At that time, you said she had aroused your interest."

The man glanced at his follower, who quickly shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.

She is here too? It seems that the Immortal Residence is going to be lively this time. The man smiled lightly and said to his followers, "Go check her information and the child next to her." The last time I saw her, she was alone. Why is there a little girl next to her?

The follower nodded obediently, and at this time Pei Cangli saw that the people at the door had dispersed, so he pulled Hongyu and prepared to leave. Now that they had the things in hand, they might as well leave early.

"Miss, what's your name? Would you mind having some tea with me? I have some recent news about Xianrenju, and I think you'll be interested. After all, you won first place in the last free cultivator selection competition."

Pei Cangli looked at the pale-faced man in front of him and became alert. He could tell at a glance that she was the first in the selection competition for independent cultivators, but he didn't know her name. He also said that he had news to tell her. Pei Cangli found it strange no matter how he looked at it and was about to refuse.

The man said again, "Girl, don't rush to refuse. Just give me a stick of incense. I'm sure you'll be interested."

Pei Cangli saw this and said, "Since you invited me, I'm not asking for your name. I'm Pei Cangli."

"Pei Cangli, what a good name. My name is Xuan Shang."

What a strange name, it doesn't seem to belong to the human race, I'm afraid it's from one of the other races, Pei Cangli thought silently in his heart.

Xuan Shang looked at Pei Cangli and said softly, "Miss Pei, are you thinking in your heart, doesn't my name sound like a human cultivator?"

Pei Cangli blushed in embarrassment. It was really embarrassing to have someone guess what was in his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Xuan. I'm just a casual cultivator and I don't have much experience. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Xuan Shang looked at Pei Cangli who was blushing and chuckled, "It's okay. I'm not a human. I'm a ghost cultivator."
