Socially anxious me transmigrated to a world of cultivation.

At this moment, the five people following behind Zhang Shan were all stunned when they heard Pingfan's words.

Zhang Shan showed no surprise, and laughed loudly.

"Of course there are benefits. Fellow Daoist, you are currently at the peak of the tenth level of Body Tempering. As long as you follow me, I can help you break through in a short time."

Upon hearing this, Pingfan immediately bowed with delight and exclaimed excitedly.

"Your subordinate is willing to follow the young master."

Seeing that Pingfan was so cooperative, Zhang Shan nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and smiled.

"No need for that. As long as you follow me obediently, you'll reap the rewards."

Upon hearing this, Pingfan smiled obsequiously, like a sycophant.

But when no one could see him, he clenched his fists tightly, a deep killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Actually, it wasn't that Pingfan didn't want to refuse, but rather that he saw the five people behind Zhang Shan staring at him coldly.

It seemed that if Pingfan refused, they would immediately take action and capture him.

So Pingfan had no choice but to agree, but he already had a plan in mind.

Zhang Shan looked at him plainly and was curious as to why he, at such a young age, would become a body cultivator, so he asked him in confusion.

"I'm curious, at your age, why did you choose to become a body cultivator? Wouldn't it have been more appropriate to become a cultivator?"

Upon hearing Zhang Shan's words, Pingfan quickly suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes and smiled bitterly.

"To be honest, young master, my parents died early, and I accidentally ate a poisonous fruit when I was young. Although I survived, my meridians were ruined, so I can only become a body cultivator."

After saying that, Pingfan gave a miserable smile, revealing a look of pain.

Zhang Shan and the five people behind him were slightly taken aback when they heard Pingfan's words.

However, Zhang Shan only paused for a moment before saying nothing more.

As for the five people, upon hearing Pingfan's account, a hint of sympathy appeared in their eyes.

And a feeling of empathy welled up in my heart.

The five of them were not actually members of the Zhang family, and their childhood circumstances were quite different from those of ordinary people.

However, they were not ordinary and unlucky; they were able to cultivate. After being taken in by the Zhang family, they worked hard to cultivate, hoping that one day they could make a name for themselves and break free from the Zhang family.

However, after fifty years, they still hadn't broken through and remained at the Foundation Establishment stage.

It was at this time that they came to terms with reality and began to obey the Zhang family's orders without complaint.

Seeing the somewhat oppressive atmosphere, Zhang Shan snorted coldly and said indifferently.

"Alright, take a break, then come with me to a place."

After saying that, Zhang Shan walked to the python, glanced at it, and then spoke to one of the people.

"Cut its flesh and blood."

Upon hearing Zhang Shan's words, the man quickly went to the python, squatted down, took out a dagger, and began slashing at the python's body.

When Pingfan saw Zhang Shan approaching, his heart suddenly stopped beating, and his hands involuntarily clenched.

However, upon seeing that Zhang Shan was looking at the python beside him, he relaxed slightly and quietly stepped back a little when he heard Zhang Shan's words.

Zhang Shan didn't pay attention to the ordinary gesture, assuming it was to give up his seat for that person.

A moment later, Pingfan and Zhang Shan sat around a fire, roasting some meat over the flames, which emitted a wonderful aroma.

Once the python meat was fully cooked, the first piece was handed to Zhang Shan. After Zhang Shan took it, the others picked up the remaining snake meat and began to tear it apart.

While tearing into the snake meat, Pingfan secretly observed Zhang Shan and the others.

Just as Pingfan was observing Zhang Shan and the others, someone quietly moved to his side and whispered something.

"Brother Fan, my name is Yu E. I was very impressed by your battle with the demonic beast. It's amazing that a human can actually fight a demonic beast head-on."

Pingfan looked at Yu E with a surprised expression, but seeing his kind smile, she understood what was going on.

Yu E is over a hundred years old, and it is basically impossible for him to make any further breakthroughs.

However, being ordinary is different; one is still young and there are many uncertainties.

Perhaps before long, Pingfan will reach the Body Tempering Realm. At that time, with his physical advantage, even Foundation Establishment cultivators will probably be no match for him.

However, since body cultivators cannot fly, as long as a cultivator flies into the sky, the body cultivator cannot do anything to the cultivator.

However, Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot break through the physical defenses of Body Refiners. Even if they fly into the sky, what can they do to Body Refiners?

So now that Pingfan has joined them, they will have to work together from now on.

If you build a good relationship with Pingfan now, then when you encounter danger in the future, Pingfan won't stand by and watch you die because of your friendly relationship.

Pingfan looked at Yu E and smiled slightly, then frowned and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Yu, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing Pingfan's words, Yu E shook his head and gave a bitter smile. He then explained to Pingfan why he had come here with Zhang Shan.

After listening to Yu E's story, Ping Fan gave Yu E a deeply sympathetic look and asked in a low voice.

"Didn't the young master tell you where you were going?"

Yu E didn't pay attention to the pitying look in Pingfan's eyes. He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"No, they probably came here to avoid being scolded."

Upon hearing this, Pingfan showed a knowing look, then chatted with Yu E for a while before falling silent.

Pingfan also gained some understanding of the five of them. Yu E was the strongest among them, having already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The other four were all at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and all four listened to Yu E's words.

As for Zhang Shan's strength, he was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but because he was the grandson of Zhang Liang, the patriarch of the Zhang family.

Moreover, Zhang Shan is only twenty-one years old, making him a rare genius in the Northern Region.

However, it seems that Zhang Shan failed to complete the task assigned by Zhang Liang, which is why Zhang Liang took his anger out on him.

Zhang Liang wouldn't normally scold Zhang Shan so often, but the other three families were also involved.

After being mistreated by the other three families, Zhang Liang would vent his anger on Zhang Shan.

Unable to bear this insult, Zhang Shan secretly brought the five of them here.

After learning about these circumstances, Pingfan couldn't help but feel a little excited, and murmured to himself.

According to Yu E's description, the thing Zhang Shan failed to do was to hunt down Li Muchan.

"So, Li Muchan escaped. I wonder how she is now?"

While Pingfan was still wondering what Li Muchan was like now, Zhang Shan and the others had already finished eating all the snake meat.

After resting for a while, Zhang Shan stood up and slowly spoke to Pingfan and the others.

"Come on, follow me somewhere."

After saying that, Zhang Shan looked towards a place to the north, his eyes revealing a fierce look. He was about to fly into the air when he remembered that Pingfan was a body cultivator.

Then Zhang Shan frowned and looked at Pingfan, asking in confusion.

"Can you keep up with our speed?"

When Pingfan saw Zhang Shan looking at him and heard his question, he quickly replied.

"Can"

Upon hearing Pingfan's words, Zhang Shan did not hesitate any longer. He flew into the air, left a message, and flew north.

"Okay, then stay close."
