Socially anxious me transmigrated to a world of cultivation.

In the heart of a rocky landscape, a city was built, and that city was Fengyan City.

At this moment, a man in tattered clothes was slowly walking towards Fengyan City.

However, no spiritual energy could be sensed from this man.

When he reached the city gate of Fengyan City, he was immediately stopped by guards who shouted at him.

"Where did this stinking beggar come from? Do you have spirit stones to pay the city entrance fee? Get out of here right now!"

Hearing the guard's reprimand, the man did not leave, but instead took out a few spiritual energy pills from his pocket and handed them over.

Upon seeing that this person had actually produced spiritual power, the guard took the power and then coldly snorted in disdain.

"Go in, but don't die in there. If you feel like you're about to die, come out quickly and find a secluded place."

Hearing the guard's disdainful words, the man was not angry, but walked into the city expressionlessly.

This person was none other than Pingfan, who had rushed over after dealing with Xie Yuan and his group of five.

During this journey, Pingfan would hunt some monsters when he was hungry and drink some river water when he was thirsty.

However, when they arrived at a point a hundred miles from Fengyan City, they were stunned by the scene before them.

There are no trees or rivers here, only endless rocks.

If he hadn't prepared some water a hundred miles outside of Fengyan City, he probably would have died of thirst.

However, this is obviously impossible, since at his current speed, a hundred miles would only take him half an hour.

As for why Pingfan had spirit stones, it was obviously taken from Xie Yuan and the other four.

When Pingfan entered the city, he was stunned by the scene before him, staring blankly at the bustling buildings within the city.

This was the first time Pingfan had come to a place where people gathered since he transmigrated to this world.

On both sides of the street were all kinds of shops, and the street led to a huge rock.

Below the rock is a circular pool of water, which continuously sprays water onto the rock.

Looking at the scene before him, Pingfan was puzzled as to why the people of this world would build their cities in such impoverished places.

They couldn't understand why precious water resources would be wasted on a rock.

Little did they know that Fengyan City was located at the border between the Yun Gang Sect and the Xue Jian Sect, which is why it was built here.

Moreover, it seems that the ordinary has forgotten that cultivators can already abstain from grains and do not need to eat food or drink water.

Only ordinary body cultivators, who lack cultivation, need food and water.

Just as Pingfan was lost in thought, two figures noticed him by the window on the second floor of an inn, one of whom teased him.

"Oh, here comes a beggar, and a beggar with absolutely no cultivation at all."

Hearing his teasing, the man sitting opposite him slowly shook his head and smiled.

"Not everyone is as lucky as Brother Zhang. For a mortal on this continent, just surviving is already a feat."

Sensing the sarcasm in the man's words, Zhang Peng frowned and coldly retorted.

"Qin Yu, there's no need for such sarcasm. Is it just that your Qin family is a little envious of the Zhang family's current power?"

Seeing Zhang Peng say this, Qin Yu snorted disdainfully and said coldly.

"Aren't you afraid that one day someone will come knocking on your door and wipe you out, as you're so brazenly encroaching on the smaller families in the neighborhood?"

At this point, Qin Yu looked at Zhang Peng and, seeing that he was about to retort, reminded him.

"Don't forget why you are in your current position!"

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, Zhang Peng, who was about to retort, deflated like a punctured balloon and slowly said...

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

After speaking, Zhang Peng cautiously looked at Qin Yu, waiting for his next words.

Seeing that he had gotten to the point, Qin Yu withdrew his gaze from Pingfan and looked at Zhang Peng, chuckling softly.

"The Zhang family is currently the most powerful family in Fengyan City. The Qin family doesn't want to see our two families fight each other, because if that happens, both of us might be wiped out by other forces."

After hearing Qin Yu's words, Zhang Peng frowned slightly and asked coldly.

"I don't believe the Qin family would be so kind as to reveal your true intentions."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's smile vanished, gradually replaced by a sinister look, and he said...

"The Qin family hopes you will incorporate this into the elixir that Zhang Liang regularly takes."

As he spoke, Qin Yu took out a jade bottle from his storage ring and slowly pushed it towards Zhang Peng.

Upon hearing that the Qin family actually wanted him to poison Zhang Liang, Zhang Peng was shocked, then shouted angrily.

"Qin Yu, what are you thinking? No matter what, I am a member of the Zhang family. How could I possibly harm the Zhang family's backer?"

However, Qin Yu was completely unconcerned about Zhang Peng's anger and said coldly.

"Don't forget, after Zhang Shan's death, it was someone who gave you your current position."

At this point, Qin Yu paused, his tone softening as he spoke softly.

"Don't worry, after Zhang Liang dies, the Qin family will support you to become the head of the Zhang family. At that time, the entire Zhang family will be yours."

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, Zhang Peng's eyes flickered, and he was somewhat persuaded by him.

Seeing that Zhang Peng seemed to be persuaded, Qin Yu continued to add.

"You don't want Zhang Liang to know that it was you who sabotaged things, preventing Li Muchan from being intercepted, which allowed her to escape from the Northern Region."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Peng's body stiffened abruptly, then a sinister look appeared in his eyes as he coldly said.

"Alright, I hope the Qin family keeps their word."

After saying that, Zhang Peng grabbed the jade bottle in front of him, stood up, and turned to leave.

Watching Zhang Peng leave, Qin Yu curled his lips and sneered.

"How naive. However, after we successfully kill Zhang Liang, we will still make you the head of the Zhang family, but you will be a Zhang family head who submits to the Qin family."

After saying that, Qin Yu picked up the cup on the table, put the spirit wine in it into his mouth, put the cup down, stood up, and left.

On the street, Pingfan, who had just come to his senses, was unaware that during the time he was in a daze, the two major families of Fengyan City had already begun to stir up trouble.

Even if Pingfan knew, he wouldn't care, since his purpose in coming to Fengyan City this time was not only to kill Zhang Liang, but also to kill Qin Feng.

Pingfan frowned as he looked at the bustling street and the pedestrians coming and going in the shops on both sides of the street.

Now they have arrived in Fengyan City, but Pingfan is completely unfamiliar with the place and doesn't know where the Zhang and Qin families are located.

Moreover, because Pingfan is not used to communicating with people, he doesn't know how to start a conversation with strangers.

Just as Pingfan was at a loss for what to do, pedestrians on the street panicked and dodged in all directions, as if they were afraid of being hit by something.

Suddenly, a panicked shout rang out in the noisy street.

"Make way, everyone make way!"
