Chen Lingjun unfolded the map and walked along the marked route towards the nearest official road.

Just as we were approaching the official road, we heard bursts of fighting and noise ahead.

When I got closer, I saw a group of bandits besieging several carriages, and there were some corpses lying on the ground.

On the side of the road, there were several female bandits playing games with tender and delicate men under them.

"Perhaps, we can take the opportunity to ride in their carriage to the city."

It was too risky to walk to the city, and he was new in the area and didn't know anyone there.

Chen Lingjun observed and found that the strongest among the bandits was only at the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm and posed no threat.

Then, Chen Lingjun took the confiscated knife and killed him.

"Hmm? Someone is coming." A female bandit discovered Chen Lingjun and hurriedly reminded her companions.

"What a handsome little boy, leave him to me."

When the bandit leader saw Chen Lingjun rushing towards him, he was not surprised but happy.

In the sunlight, Chen Lingjun's bare legs reveal a crystal luster, which is very attractive.

"Look at me……"

Before the bandit leader could finish his words, he saw his own back.

When the bandits nearby saw their boss being killed in seconds, they all started to run for their lives. Even the female bandit who was playing games on the side of the road quickly pulled up her pants and ran into the woods.

Upon seeing this, the guards protecting the carriage took the opportunity to chase and kill the bandits, and soon drove them away.

"Young man, I am Liu Tao, the butler of the Liu Mansion in Guanhou City. Thank you for your help."

At this time, a middle-aged woman hurriedly walked up to Chen Lingjun to thank him.

"Butler Liu, you're welcome. It's my duty to help those in need when I see injustice," said Chen Lingjun, bowing.

"Ahem, if it weren't for you, we would be finished this time. Here are 1000 low-grade spirit stones. It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

Liu Tao took out a storage bag and handed it to Chen Lingjun.

In response, Chen Lingjun did not hesitate and accepted the storage bag.

"I wonder where you are going, young man?"

Seeing Chen Lingjun being so straightforward, Liu Tao immediately let down his guard. As long as he liked money, everything would be fine.

"Butler Liu, my name is Chen Lingjun. I am also going to Guanhou City this time, but I have just arrived and don’t know the way. Can you give me a ride on the next leg of my trip?" Chen Lingjun said.

"No problem. It's our honor to have Young Master Chen with us."

Liu Tao was overjoyed. After being robbed and killed by bandits, most of the guards in their caravan had been killed or injured. With Chen Lingjun, the journey would be much safer.

"Then excuse me."

Afterwards, Liu Tao found a comfortable carriage for Chen Lingjun and gave him a set of clothes.

Liu Tao came to one of the carriages and said respectfully, "Miss, those bandits have been driven away."

The car curtain opened, revealing a pretty face. "Oh? What happened?"

She knew that with the skills of these guards, they could not resist the Black Mountain Village.

Liu Tao told the pretty girl everything that had happened.

"In that case, Chen Lingjun is not an ordinary person." The pretty girl stroked her chin, thinking.

"His appearance is the most handsome I have ever seen in my life." Liu Tao sighed.

A trace of disdain flashed in the pretty girl's eyes. How beautiful could that be? She had seen at least a thousand handsome men in the sect, if not eight hundred.

"How about this, I'll go visit you in person tonight."

.........

Since changing his technique, Chen Lingjun's cultivation speed has increased a lot, and the circulation of spiritual energy is more than ten times as fast as before.

"At this rate, I should be able to break through to the third level of foundation building in less than a month."

Next, he planned to look for a sect. After all, it is better to lean on a big tree for shade, and there is no future for being a casual cultivator.

Within the sect, there are not only various martial arts secrets, but also exclusive secret realms. These are things that casual practitioners will never be able to access in their lifetime.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I am Liu Qingqing, requesting to see you." At this time, a crisp voice came from outside the carriage.

Liu Qingqing? Probably from the Liu family.

"Come in."

Then, a woman in a green jumpsuit got on the carriage.

Liu Qingqing's eyes lit up, her cherry pink lips and eyes were bright and shining, like a flowing river of stars.

A pair of long legs are crossed under the hips, and the fair skin is so attractive that one cannot take their eyes off it.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, please take a seat."

Chen Lingjun moved to the side, making room for an empty seat.

Little do people know that in this world where women are superior, women can only stand when getting on a man's carriage and cannot sit together, so as not to give others an excuse to make fun of them.

Liu Qingqing was a little surprised, thinking that Chen Lingjun was just not particular about it and didn't care.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen."

The fragrance coming from her nose made Liu Qingqing feel distracted and her mouth dry.

"Thank you for your help today, I am very grateful." Liu Qingqing said.

"You're welcome. Besides, even if I don't take action, I still have my fellow Taoists."

According to Chen Lingjun's perception, Liu Qingqing's cultivation must be higher than his, at least above the fifth level of foundation building.

"Fellow Daoist, you have good eyesight." Liu Qingqing did not deny it.

"Then why didn't you take action at that time?" Chen Lingjun was a little confused.

If Liu Qingqing had taken action earlier, the casualties on the convoy would have been much less, or even zero.

"They are just a bunch of mortals. If they die, they die. At worst, we can recruit new ones. As immortal cultivators, how can we fight for ants?"

Liu Qingqing had an arrogant look on her face and spoke with disdain, totally disregarding human life.

Chen Lingjun just smiled and lowered his head without saying anything.

Although he felt somewhat dissatisfied, he and the Liu family were just getting what they needed from each other, so there was no need for conflict.

"I wonder where Fellow Daoist Chen's master came from? Which sect?" Liu Qingqing came here mainly to find out the details.

"My master has lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years. I came down the mountain this time just to gain more knowledge." Chen Lingjun had already thought of a solution for this situation.

"Oh, I see."

Liu Qingqing didn't doubt it, because this kind of situation is rare, but it does happen.

Moreover, people who live in seclusion in the mountains generally have very high levels of cultivation.

She had heard of an old monster who lived in seclusion in the mountains. After his disciple was killed, he was furious and went straight down the mountain to kill everyone in the sect where that person lived.

In the end, he even became so bloodthirsty that he wanted to massacre the entire city.

It was the top leaders of Jianzong and Xuantianzong who stepped forward and "persuaded" them to go back.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingqing's attitude became respectful.

"I guess you are new here and don't know the situation. I will explain it to you."

"In the Tianfeng Dynasty, there are five sects, one platform and one pavilion that are recognized as the strongest. The five are the Sword Sect, the Xuantian Sect, the Hehuan Sect, the Beast Taming Sect, and the Corpse Puppet Sect."

"The first platform and pavilion are Linlang Xiantai and Xingyue Pavilion. In addition, there are many second-rate forces."

“There are also the more special Buddhist and Taoist sects. Although these two forces have a long history, they never participate in worldly struggles.

They will only intervene if there are some vicious massacres or crises.”

After finishing all these words in one breath, Liu Qingqing let out a long sigh and poured herself a cup of tea.

"If I want to join a sect, I wonder if Brother Liu has any recommendations." Chen Lingjun asked.

"The Sword Sect and the Xuantian Sect are the strongest. Although the Hehuan Sect only recruits male disciples, but, hehe, you know it even if I don't tell you."

"The majority of the cultivators in the Beast Tamer Sect and the Corpse Puppet Sect are female, with very few male cultivators."

"So, I recommend you to join Xuantian Sect." Liu Qingqing said.

"Oh? Why?"

"Because I am an inner disciple of Xuantian Sect, I will have someone to take care of us when the time comes."

Liu Qingqing's tone was full of pride. After all, she was the only inner disciple of the Sword Sect in Guanhou City.

It is also because of this that although the Liu family is weak, other forces dare not provoke them.
