Chapter 258 Jiang Cheng Can’t Afford to Eat Free Food
As Jiang Cheng completed more and more tasks, his reputation in Tongtianmen grew.
Now, when Lin Beifeng is mentioned, many cultivators will answer immediately that Lin Beifeng is Jiang Cheng's mountain. As for Yun Shu? Sorry, I'm not familiar with him.
Yun Shu's presence is not strong. On the one hand, Jiang Cheng is indeed good at developing connections, which makes many people have a deep impression of him after contacting Jiang Cheng. Then there is the illusion that Jiang Cheng represents Lin Beifeng.
On the other hand, it is because Yun Shu has been wandering around recently and often not seen for a long time. Naturally, it is easy to be forgotten.
Jiang Cheng guessed that the reason why Yun Shu ran around was probably because she had harmed almost all the people she knew nearby, which gave rise to various means to fight against her, so she could only harm people far away who were not well-informed.
Otherwise, it can't explain why Yun Shu went out for a long time and was rarely at home.
On this day, Jiang Cheng did not go out to take the task, but pondered the matter of Yuanying with Liu Qing on Lin Beifeng.
In the Taixu Sect next door, the two kings of rolling, Lin Yao and Liang Lu, have rolled each other to the late stage of the Nascent Soul. It is estimated that they have broken through to the Spiritualization in recent years, which is so terrifying.
In the Biyun Peak next door, Yue Ling'er and Shen Menghan also broke through the Nascent Soul stage not long ago and became cultivators in the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
The speed of Lin Yao and Liang Lu's cultivation can be barely explained by talent. Yue Ling'er and Shen Menghan are just benefiting from the cultivation method of the Dayan Sect.
They are equivalent to going with the flow. Even if they don't practice so hard, their cultivation speed can keep up with the general cultivation genius. They are the real version darlings.
In fact, Yue Ling'er and Shen Menghan's fast cultivation is also Jiang Cheng's intention.
If the two of them practice to the Nascent Soul without causing any major impact, Jiang Cheng can rest assured to follow them to the Nascent Soul.
Facts have proved that the cautious Jiang Cheng is still too worried.
There are so many geniuses in Tongtian Sect. Even if they break through frequently like Lin Yao and Liang Lu, they will not attract too much attention.
It is the competitions like the sect competition that need more attention. A comeback in a highly anticipated competition can bring huge topics and traffic to the parties involved.
There are many cultivators with average cultivation speed but solid magic and good fighting skills who are discovered in various competitions and trained with emphasis.
"Don't take any tasks for the time being. Stay on the peak and intensify your cultivation to strive for an early promotion to the Nascent Soul." After saying that, Jiang Cheng did not forget to remind Liu Qing, "Don't worry, wait for me to be promoted to the Nascent Soul first, and then you can be promoted to the Nascent Soul. If the master comes back during this period, give up the promotion temporarily and wait until she leaves."
"Okay." Liu Qing nodded.
It was extremely simple for her to be promoted to the Nascent Soul. She only needed to adjust the cultivation level displayed to the outside world, and she could be promoted successfully in an instant.
"Is Jiang Cheng here? Is Jiang Cheng here?"
Jiang Cheng was thinking about the Nascent Soul, and a shout came from the gate array at the foot of the mountain.
"Master Cong Ying Mountain? Why did he come to visit in person? Is he out of wine again?"
Master Cong Ying Mountain is a high-level cultivator that Jiang Cheng is more familiar with. The main reason is that this senior always finds ways to cheat some wine from him.
He is the second largest killer in Yi Qiannian's inventory.
As for the largest killer, it must be Master Yun Shu.
Although Master Cong Ying Mountain is a bit frivolous, his combined cultivation is genuine, and he leads the Cong Ying Mountain Range. He is a lord of one side and a force of considerable size in Tongtianmen.
If placed in the outside world, this is equivalent to the three sect masters who visited before.
Although Jiang Cheng is familiar with Master Cong Ying Mountain, he dare not neglect him.
He is a high-level cultivator. Who dares to neglect a high-level cultivator?
Except for Liu Qing, Jiang Cheng dared to neglect him. Facing other high-level cultivators, Jiang Cheng's attitude is still very polite.
"Go down the mountain to see a senior."
"Oh."
Jiang Cheng didn't need to mention names when speaking, anyway, there was no one else on the mountain, and Sheshe could understand who he was calling.
At the foot of Linbei Peak, Jiang Cheng successfully met the owner of Congying Mountain.
"Senior, you are tired from the journey, please come up the mountain to have a cup of tea." Jiang Cheng said politely.
"Haha, don't bother so much, I'm here to drink wine." The owner of Congying Mountain said happily.
Jiang Cheng took out two pots of Yi Qiannian.
Unexpectedly, the Mountain Master Cong Ying said in surprise: "I was just joking, I didn't expect you to really give it to me?"
Jiang Cheng:...
"Then I'll put it back."
"Hey, I've already taken it out, how can I put it back? Anyway, I'll take the trouble to accept it. It saves you from having to worry about your waist because your storage bag is too heavy."
Jiang Cheng:...
After being treated to two pots of wine for free, Jiang Cheng said: "Senior, you are not here to cheat for wine, right?"
"You are right, I am just cheating for wine, but I have something important to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
"The Mountain Master Wan Yue wants to see you."
The Mountain Master Wan Yue is a cultivator in the early stage of the Mahayana, Yun Shu's father.
Jiang Cheng was sweating profusely: "Is this negotiable?"
"Of course, you can choose not to go."
"What will happen if you don't go?"
"If you don't go, he will come to you."
"Then I'll go."
In order to avoid any accidents to the snake.
Jiang Cheng didn't say the latter sentence. He was mainly afraid that the Lord of Wanyue Mountain would come to Linbei Peak and come into close contact with Liu Qing, and discover some clues.
The Lord of Wanyue Mountain was a Mahayana cultivator, and with his perception ability, it was possible for him to discover clues on Liu Qing.
It was better not to let him get too close to Liu Qing.
Master Cong Yingshan took out an invitation and said, "Remember to take this thing to find him. Otherwise, you won't be able to see him."
"Junior understands."
Looking at Jiang Cheng who looked tense, Master Cong Yingshan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, you are Yun Shu's apprentice. What are you afraid of? At the worst, just ask Yun Shu to go to the Wanyue Mountains to find people."
Jiang Cheng bowed his hand as a way of thanking Master Cong Ying for the reminder.
He wasn't afraid of Yun Shu, he was mainly afraid of Liu Qing.
As he goes higher and higher, he will inevitably come into contact with other high-level monks in the future. He can't keep Liu Qing without him, right?
But the future can wait until later. Now he has to pass the master of Wanyue Mountain first.
…
Wanyue Mountains, Beiyue Peak.
Jiang Cheng, led by a senior brother Yuanying, slowly walked up the mountain climbing stairs.
Let’s not talk about the rare fake stones and precious spiritual plants we saw along the way. Let’s just say that the handyman who was responsible for cleaning the stone steps at this time had enough cultivation to form elixirs.
The mighty alchemy master was in Jiangcheng's hometown, Wuyue City, and he was a dominating presence.
But at Wanyak Mountain Gate, I could only do odd jobs like cleaning the stone steps.
Even the senior brother responsible for the reception needs Nascent Soul.
This is the foundation of Tongtian Gate Pillar Stone Mountain Gate.
If nothing else, you can tell just by looking at Yun Shu's behavior. She is so noisy and unreasonable, making enemies everywhere, and she is still able to live freely in Tongtianmen. Her father must be carrying the burden for her to move forward.
It's good that Yun Shu is good at grabbing, but the main thing is that others don't worry about her not getting enough.
When did the little girl surrender to her father and go home, and when did she become a rich woman again?
Jiang Cheng could probably guess the purpose of Wanyue Mountain Master looking for him. It was probably related to Yun Shu, otherwise there was no need for Wanyue Mountain Master to contact him.
His only value to the Lord of Wanyue Mountain is that he is Yun Shu's apprentice.
Jiang Cheng has a body that is in the Danjie stage, and he can climb to the top of the mountain without any effort.
The building on the top of the mountain is not the palace hall that most people imagine, nor is it a thatched courtyard pretending to be ordinary, it is just a single-family villa that looks very modern.
It's a bit like the one Jiang Cheng bought in the Wuyue Villa area. It's certainly much better than the one in Jiang Cheng.
It is quite strange that this kind of building appears in Tongtianmen, which has a strong atmosphere of cultivating immortals.
But considering Yun Shu's character, it would be normal if the master of Wanyue Mountain is also a strange person.
Senior Brother Yuanying brought Jiang Cheng to the villa and said goodbye.
The real owner, the Lord of Wanyue Mountain, was dressed in white and waiting for Jiang Cheng's arrival in the living room.
Jiang Cheng came to the living room and met Yun Zaiyuan, the legendary master of Wanyue Mountain.
Jiang Cheng actually had a bit of an impression of Yun Zaiyuan. After all, Yun Zaiyuan was considered one of the most powerful people in the Tongtian Sect. As a planner, Jiang Cheng had met him before.
Coincidentally, not only Jiang Cheng had an impression of Yun Zaiyuan, but Yun Zaiyuan also had an impression of Jiang Cheng.
More than ten years ago, Yun Zaiyuan suddenly felt a strange Mahayana aura. He thought something big had happened to the sect, so he quickly went to the place where the aura appeared to find out.
It turned out to be a false alarm. Apart from seeing a young couple making out in the woods, nothing unusual was found.
The Jiang Cheng standing in front of him now was one of the young lovers back then.
"Senior Yun, are you looking for me?"
Jiang Cheng said tentatively.
He didn't remember Yun Zaiyuan's personality, so he could only deal with it carefully.
"Jiang Cheng, right? You can still work so hard under Xiao Shu. It's really hard on you."
"Senior is joking. Master is a very outstanding monk. When I get along with her, it's like being in the beautiful nature. You can do whatever you want and it's not hard at all."
"Really? Is she really that good?"
"Of course, this junior could talk about Master's merits for three days and three nights."
"good."
Yun Zaiyuan looked very happy.
Jiang Cheng immediately felt relieved.
It seems that praising Yunshu is quite effective, at least she can deal with her father.
Unexpectedly, Yun Zaiyuan said again: "I don't want you to talk about three days and three nights. Just tell me the advantages of Xiaoshu one day and one night."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said: "Senior is the one who knows Master best. How can I dare to do what I do in front of my senior?"
"Okay, sit down, I won't joke with you anymore. You can probably guess what I mean by coming to you this time. It's been almost five hundred years since Xiao Shu ran away from home. No matter how old she is, Her temper should be gone by now, right? But as for her, she spends all her time wandering around and not doing her job. Did you know that she has not made any progress in cultivation for more than five hundred years! The person who was about the same age as her is now in the Fusion state. ! She is still a god! It's so annoying! Such a good talent was wasted." Yun Zaiyuan raised his eyebrows, looking like he couldn't stand it anymore.
Jiang Cheng listened intently, not daring to breathe loudly.
"Of course, I know, these have nothing to do with you. Anyway, I have let it go after so many years."
Jiang Cheng: You didn’t look like you were letting go at all just now.
"I want you to help me persuade her. Let her go home early."
Yun Zaiyuan said, his tone was quite sincere, not like he was joking.
Jiang Cheng tried to evade: "Senior Yun, to be honest, this junior is just a loose disciple of the master. I cannot be her master!"
Yun Zaiyuan himself knew that the success rate was low, so he took a step back: "I didn't let you be her master. You just have to persuade her when you have the chance. Just say that I will never force her to practice again. When I get home, I will Play whatever you want.”
"Really?"
"Fake."
"Oh. Then junior, try your best to persuade the master."
Jiang Cheng is really not very motivated. Yun Shu is just lazy but not stupid. How could she be fooled by such a simple trick of her father?
Yun Zaiyuan looked at Jiang Cheng's waning interest and added: "Based on what I know about Yun Shu, she probably has no money for a long time. It's really not easy for you to cultivate to the point of forming pills. Let's do this, I'll have someone do it for you. With half a million contribution points, you can buy some training resources and don’t waste your talent.”
Jiang Cheng said sternly: "Master, it is too much to not go home for many years. I, this junior, must give me some advice!"
…
After returning to Lin Beifeng, Jiang Cheng began to prepare for promotion to Nascent Soul.
Although Yun Zaiyuan offered a very high bonus, with a wave of his hand reaching half a million contribution points, Yun Shu had no control over when he would return to Fengjiang City.
If she doesn't return to Feng, Jiang Cheng won't be in a hurry.
Jiang Cheng could only wait until Yun Shu came back after having enough fun, and then think of ways to persuade her.
However, Jiang Cheng estimated that the possibility of persuading him to succeed was unlikely, because Yun Shudu had run away from home for more than five hundred years, and it was impossible for him to change his mind and reconcile with Yun Zaiyuan just because of a few words from him.
The facts were similar to what Jiang Cheng had guessed.
It took another half a year after Yun Shu was promoted to Yuanying in Jiangcheng before Yun Shu emerged on Lin Beifeng again.
"Jiang Cheng, are you a Nascent Soul? I must have been on the road and didn't sleep well, and I'm still dreaming." Yun Shu rubbed his eyes, yawned and walked towards her cave.
Jiang Cheng quickly followed.
"Master, where did you go to play again this time?"
"I went to Taixumen to find friends."
Jiang Cheng looked at Yun Shu's dusty appearance and said in surprise: "You didn't fly all the way there without taking the teleportation formation, right?"
"It must be flying! I don't have the money to sit in the formation."
Yun Shu flattened her pink lips, squinted her eyes, and continued to yawn.
Jiang Cheng said: "Master, to be honest, the master of Wanyue Mountain came to see me some time ago."
"Who?" Yun Shu's voice suddenly rose an octave higher.
"The Lord of Wanyue Mountain."
"My dad?"
"right."
"Why is he looking for you? He's not asking you to persuade me to go back, is he?"
"Master Bingxue is smart."
"Did he tell you that he won't force me this time?"
This time Jiang Cheng was really surprised: "Master knows so much?"
Yun Shu gritted his teeth: "He says that every time! I've been deceived by him several times!"
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he immediately understood: "Then let me find an opportunity to hint to Senior Yun. In case he is too sad."
"Wait a minute, did he give you money?" Yun Shu glared at Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng said with a guilty conscience: "Give me a little."
"Um?"
Yun Shu stretched out his snow-white hand towards Jiang Cheng.
Jiangcheng:?
"What's the meaning?"
"Fifty-five."
"?"
"Fifty-five! Otherwise I will go home now and prevent you from getting the next money!"
"Your threat can be stronger." Jiang Cheng said, but he still promised to give Yun Shu 250,000 contribution points.
Yun Shu smiled so hard that his eyebrows curled up, and he poked Jiang Chengdao with his elbow: "Next time you lie more, my father will be rich. Remember to give me half after you cheat, otherwise I won't act with you anymore."
Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "Master, as long as you work hard, you won't be short of money."
Yun Shu said plausibly: "I'm not stupid. I'm reluctant to use the money I earned through hard work."
