As night falls, the moon reaches its peak.
Yunlaifang City is bustling with activity and the lights are still on.
In a small forest not far from Fangshi, a figure appeared. He was wearing a black trench coat, tall and straight, with bright eyes as sharp as an eagle.
This young man is Lin Chen.
It wasn't that he didn't want to return to the sect, but when he used the invisibility technique to sneak towards the sect, he found that many people were ambushing him in the direction he left.
Although Lin Chen was not afraid of fighting them, but he rushed forward even though he knew there was an ambush. That was not a mistake, but stupidity.
"I lurked near them, but no one noticed it. This means that the other party did not determine my location or the means to track me..."
"I changed several routes and found someone ambushing me every time. Someone should have revealed the direction I was leaving..."
"And when I was fighting against the three casual cultivators, someone caught up with me. They should have judged my position through the movements during the fight..."
The news that he had obtained thousands of spiritual stones was revealed, and his location when he left was revealed. He mobilized the robbing team of casual cultivators and sent out a small team to hunt down...
After connecting all the information together, Lin Chen's aura became stronger and stronger.
After all, he has stayed in the world of cultivating immortals for ten years. Although he is focused on the scientific research of cultivating immortals and does not know much about some of the inside stories, calculations, and worldly affairs outside the sect and in the world of cultivating immortals, this does not mean that he Just a fool.
He was conducting transactions in a room in the Baibao Tower. He was all dressed in black when he came in and out, and his storage bags were hidden deep inside. How could those monks who loved killing people and grabbing treasures be so sure that he had thousands of spiritual stones on his body? A fat sheep's?
And when he left, he could be sure that no one was following him.
But if there are informants everywhere in the city, and through message transmission, different people are arranged to lock his position and determine the direction of his departure, there is a high possibility.
Then by mobilizing the blood repair team to ambush a large number of people in the direction of departure, there is a great chance of blocking him.
Based on the above considerations, Lin Chen can be sure that the fact that he himself was robbed and killed must have something to do with Fang Mingyuan, the manager of Baibao Tower!
'I originally wanted to do a good deal, but I didn't expect that people thought I was easy to bully. It seems that they really thought I was a good person without resorting to any means? A cold light flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.
Although it is said that a gentleman takes revenge, it is never too late in ten years. But if he has the ability, why does it take ten years for a gentleman to take revenge? I am afraid that he will rush to the enemy's door with a sword that night!
Of course, although Lin Chen has the ability to break into Baobao Tower and kill people, he is not that stupid.
Not to mention that after killing the other party, he will be wanted by Baibaolou, which will cut off the road to Yunlaifang City.
Just after killing people, how to face the Qingyun Sect monks stationed in Fang City, or even the Foundation Establishment monks who are pursuing them is a big problem!
Maybe this is Fang Mingyuan's conspiracy, using himself as bait and using the foundation-building monks in Fang City as swords to kill people with borrowed swords!
"I will not do such stupid things if I rush forward and kill people with a knife, but I will be put in danger." Lin Chen's eyes were dark.
"But who stipulated that if you kill someone, you must do it yourself?" Lin Chen glanced at Yunlaifangshi, and then jumped towards him.
…
Yunlaifang City, in a restaurant.
The strong aroma of wine and food filled the hall. Monks in various clothes sat in twos and threes, and waiters passed by from time to time holding delicacies. There were people coming and going among the people drinking and drinking, which was a lively scene.
Although the monks in the Qi Refining Stage have extraordinary powers, they are not yet able to perform fasting like the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Therefore, food is still indispensable to them.
At this time, during the meal time, the familiar monks started talking one after another, exchanging the information they had learned.
Most of them are casual cultivators who live in Yunlaifang City by working or selling themselves.
It’s not that they don’t want to have spiritual lands for cultivation, it’s just that in the Lingnan cultivation world, most of the spiritual lands have owners. The remaining small parts are either in rare places among people and difficult to detect, or they are captured by powerful monsters. occupied.
In the process of cultivating immortals, spiritual energy is an indispensable thing. Therefore, in order to maintain the hard-won path to immortality, they can only stay in the city and turn into cheap labor, contributing to the prosperity of Yunlaifang City. While providing the foundation, earn that meager spiritual stone.
But of those spiritual stones, after all the digging and eating, there is hardly much left, let alone used for cultivation.
Of course, faced with this kind of oppression and a life that was inferior to pigs and dogs, it was not that no monks thought about leaving.
But if they all leave, who will be able to take advantage of the upper echelons of the market?
Therefore, any monk who works in Fangshi is forced to sign a contract. Once he leaves Fangshi, his cultivation will be revoked and all his property will be taken back.
And once this happens, even if you can leave, what's the use?
Therefore, most of the monks completely gave up the idea of leaving and chose to work hard here, accumulating spiritual stones from generation to generation in exchange for the opportunity for future generations to succeed.
But even with this idea, their lives are still miserable. Instead of accumulating wealth, their children and grandchildren are constantly squeezed and become poorer and poorer. After all, in this world of cultivating immortals where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the weak, who will care about those who have done nothing for them? What about the casual cultivators who work in the city?
"Did you hear about it? A few days ago, the lucky man who collected a hundred-year-old elixir was killed by those blood cultivators who killed people to seize treasures!"
"Real or false? Is the information you got accurate?"
At this moment, at the wine table, some people were discussing quietly and sharing their own experiences.
Blood cultivators are what the casual cultivators in the city call those casual cultivators who specialize in killing people and grabbing treasures, but not in production.
"This is the third time this month! The blood cultivators near Fangshi are so rampant, why don't the guardians of Fangshi just ignore them?" someone said angrily.
"Control? For the big shots above, as long as the prosperity of the city is not affected, everything else is just a side issue." Someone shook his head.
Blood cultivators usually kill people to silence them. Unless they fight back, few people survive. This results in the news of being kidnapped and killed rarely leaking out.
Although the monks who travel to Fang City know that someone is killing people to seize treasures, they do not know the seriousness of it. In addition, most of the monks are confident in their own strength, so the prosperity of Fang City has not been affected much. Influence.
"I don't know. Isn't it good to earn spiritual stones peacefully? Why do you have to kill people and steal wealth?"
"How can you work in peace without squeezing and plundering resources quickly? Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
"This makes me want to do blood cultivation."
"Come on, with your little strength and being a blood cultivator, you're probably going to be slaughtered on the first day, right?" The people on the side sneered.
"I don't know if I am strong or not, but I will have no problem beating you!"
"Oh, it's just you? Do you dare to make gestures?"
"Come on, whoever is cowardly is your grandson!"
Perhaps because they drank some wine, the discussion became more and more intense.
"Speaking of which, why was the guy selling the elixir targeted by the blood cultivator?" At this moment, someone raised this question.
"What's so confusing about this? Everyone knows that he sells elixirs. It's strange that the blood cultivators don't keep an eye on him." A monk said disapprovingly.
"But the problem is that the transaction of elixirs is carried out in the store room. Except for the store and myself, no one else knows about it. Why is the news spread?" A voice appeared among the crowd.
As soon as this question came out, everyone in the venue paused and looked at each other, and the venue fell into silence for a while.
"I heard that guy went to the Baobao Building in Fang City to trade..." A person seemed to mutter. Although his voice was small, it was very clear in the silent lobby.
"Shh~ There are some things that you just know in your heart, but don't say them out loud, otherwise you will encounter blood cultivators the next day!" After a moment of silence, a voice sounded in the lobby, which seemed to be a warning, but also seemed to be taunting.
Many people in the venue nodded in agreement, looked at each other, and continued eating as if nothing had happened.
For a moment, all the communication in the venue disappeared, leaving only the sound of people eating and moving around.
At this moment, Lin Chen was sitting on the second floor of the restaurant, looking down at the silent monks downstairs, with a sarcastic smile on his face.
The few people who just raised questions in the venue were naturally arranged by Lin Chen.
A man selling elixirs in Baibao Tower was robbed and killed by a blood cultivator. This actually happened. But it wasn't someone from Baibaolou who leaked it, so Lin Chen really didn't know.
But it doesn't matter. Rumors are like three people becoming a tiger. If there are too many people talking about it, it will become true even if it is not true.
Moreover, the scene in front of me not only happened here, but also appeared in restaurants all over Yunlaifang City. Although it also cost some spiritual stones, it was worth it for Lin Chen!
'Conspiracy and calculation are not what I am good at. In my past and present lives, I am only over 40 years old. How can I compare with those old foxes who have lived for nearly a hundred years? '
Lin Chen was very aware of his own weaknesses. In his previous life, he was just a college student. Even though he had lived two lives, he had not stepped into society much. In terms of conspiracy and calculation, how could he compare with those old foxes in the world of immortality who had lived for hundreds of years?
But it doesn’t matter, he is a time traveler!
"What we time travelers bring with us is not only systems, magical weapons, scientific thinking and the like, but also the vision and horizons that have experienced the baptism of the information age!" Lin Chen's eyes were dark.
In ancient times, there was little information, and some truths had to be experienced before they could be understood.
But modern times are different. As long as you read enough information and think carefully, you can naturally come up with some principles of life!
For example, when Lin Chen watched a certain music circle eat melon, he concluded two truths:
First, it is easier to target one person than a group. The second is to stand by and watch, and there are far more people who add insult to injury than those who help when it is time for them!
Just like in a certain music circle in the previous life, if you said that the whole circle was chaotic and unhealthy, they would join forces with the major media to suppress your voice, and even subtly make you feel that this is the case, so that you would not dare to speak out. .
But if you just single out one person and report him, then the other enemies in his circle will at best stand by and watch, and some will even add insult to injury without hesitation!
Although Lin Chen doesn't know what a shopping mall is like, there is no doubt that the principles are the same!
'If I single out the news that the major shops in Yunlaifang City are linked to the blood cultivator, I may not be able to bring down Fang Mingyuan. Instead, it will offend the top management of Yunlaifang City, causing them to unite to block the news, and even hunt down me, the mastermind behind the scenes. make……'
'But what if I just spread the collusion between Baibaolou and Xuexiu...'
In this world where gangsters and gangsters can happen at any time, no one wants to be killed because of a transaction.
Therefore, in the world of cultivating immortals, the most important thing for a shop is its reputation and the confidentiality of transaction contents!
And if there are rumors about deliberately leaking information and taking advantage of others in this shop, will the monks who come to trade still come here?
And although many shops in the square are affiliated to Qingyun Sect, they also compete with each other. What would the managers of other stores do if they found out about the spread of the news?
A rumor can't defeat the manager of a big store, but what if there are people who are interested in adding fuel to the fire?
Thinking of this, Lin Chen looked at Baibao Tower, and his dark eyes became deeper and deeper.
The villain is proficient in conspiracy, while the wise man calculates people's hearts.
No matter how precise the conspiracy calculation is, as long as there is a problem in one link, mistakes will continue to follow. Even if there are countless plans to make up for it, they are just making up for it.
But people's hearts are different. As long as they calculate their interests accurately, most people will make the expected choice!
And Lin Chen believed that as long as he could give others a chance to attack Fang Mingyuan, someone would definitely take advantage of it and add insult to injury!
So this time, what he spread is rumors, but what he plots is people's hearts!
