I Am Li Feiyu... of Mount Shu!

The waiter was taken aback when he heard the monk ask for wine and meat.

"Um?"

Seeing this, the monk raised an eyebrow slightly and urged:

"Waiter, what are you standing there for?"

"Why aren't you preparing the wine and food yet?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter snapped out of his daze and nodded repeatedly:

"Alright, I'll go prepare it for you right away, Master!"

While saying this aloud, the waiter thought to himself, "So he's just a drunkard."

Chen Changqing didn't pay much attention to this.

What intrigued him even more was that there were plenty of empty seats in the inn's lobby, yet the monk chose to share a table with him; there must be something fishy going on behind the scenes.

Before long, the food and drinks that Chen Changqing and the monk had ordered were served.

Chen Changqing started eating by himself.

The monk saw this, smiled faintly, and then began to enjoy the wine and meat he had ordered.

"Belch..."

After a hearty meal and drinks, the monk couldn't help but let out a burp, his oily cheeks glowing red, making him look just like Maitreya Buddha.

Then, the monk turned his gaze and looked directly at Chen Changqing, speaking first:

"Esteemed benefactor, you must have been drawn here by the Devil Qi emanating from this town, haven't you?"

"Um?"

Upon hearing the monk's words, Chen Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Thinking that the monk, having had his fill of wine and meat, would finally reveal his true intentions, he figured the monk was about to do so.

When he first came to this town, he noticed that there was indeed a sinister black aura shrouding the town.

But Chen Changqing didn't pay much attention to it.

"Does the master mean... exorcising demons?"

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's question, the monk nodded, noticing Chen Changqing's expression.

It's clear that Chen Changqing knew about the Devil Qi emanating from the town.

After a slight pause, the monk spoke:

"This humble monk observes that the benefactor exudes an aura of righteousness between his brows; he must be a person of the true path."

"Rujie from Heavenly Sound Temple. May I ask which sacred mountain you are practicing on?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing's eyes lit up.

"Heavenly Sound Temple?"

Chen Changqing had naturally heard of Heavenly Sound Temple, which was an affiliated sect of Great Thunder Sound Temple and could be considered one of the top forces among first-class powers.

Like Mount Shu, the Great Thunder Sound Temple is one of the Ten Great Orthodox Sacred Lands.

"I never imagined this drunken monk was from Heavenly Sound Temple!"

Chen Changqing sighed inwardly.

Since the monk had already introduced himself, he couldn't be impolite. His eyes darted around, and he quickly replied:

"So it was Master Rujie."

"I am Li Feiyu from Mount Shu!"

When traveling or navigating the world, it's never wise to reveal your real name easily; using an alias is always a safe bet.

"Mount Shu?"

Rujie hearing what Chen Changqing said, Ru Jie was immediately invigorated and slapped his thigh, exclaiming:

"So you're a fellow Daoist from Mount Shu!"

"No wonder I felt an immediate connection with Benefactor Li; we are kindred spirits!"

Upon hearing Rujie said, Wangcai, who was lying on the bench, couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.

At this moment, Chen Changqing smiled slightly and asked:

"Master Rujie."

What exactly happened in this small town?

"I just happened to be passing through this place today."

Rujie hearing this, Jie did not conceal anything and responded directly:

"Mr. Li."

"A few days ago, this humble monk passed through this place and noticed that it was shrouded in a sinister, dark aura. It must be the work of some evil spirits!"

So they stopped there and investigated.

"I never expected to actually discover such a strange place."

At this point, Rujie paused slightly, then added:

"Originally, this humble monk was planning to wait for the temple elders to arrive before proceeding to investigate."

"Now that we've encountered Benefactor Li, I believe that with the combined strength of the two of us, we should be able to resolve this matter."

Rujie said was not a lie.

He has indeed transmitted the strange pigeons from this place back to Heavenly Sound Temple.

However, his encounter with Chen Changqing at the inn gave him a different idea.

It's clear that Chen Changqing is quite strong, possessing the Late Core Formation Stage.

And he, too, has reached the same level of cultivation.

Judging from the eerie aura emanating from the town, the demons wreaking havoc here are at most at the Golden Core level.

If the two of them join forces, there is a chance they can eliminate them.

If one can truly achieve this, it will bring considerable merit to Rujie, greatly benefiting his spiritual practice.

Upon hearing what Rujie said, Chen Changqing chuckled inwardly.

Thinking about it, this drunken monk certainly had a good plan.

They don't need to wait for reinforcements, and they can get a helper for free.

He naturally knew that Buddhist Sect practice placed great importance on accumulating merit.

The Rujie invited him to go together to exorcise the demon was obviously because he wanted the merit.

After all, if he waits for the elders of Heavenly Sound Temple to arrive, then there will be nothing left for him to do.

Of course, although he saw through Rujie Rujie's scheme, Chen Changqing didn't care and said calmly:

"Master Rujie said is quite right."

"Exorcising demons and protecting the righteous path is the duty of all disciples of Mount Shu!"

Hearing Chen Changqing's reply, Rujie was overjoyed.

I originally thought Chen Changqing would be hesitant and then offer some conditions.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Changqing agreed so readily.

"Ha ha!"

After a moment of silence, Rujie burst into hearty laughter:

"Good!"

If there were more righteous people like Benefactor Li in the world, how could the world not be at peace?

"Waiter, bring the wine!"

Having said that, Rujie hurriedly called out to the waiter.

Before long, two jars of fine wine were served.

"Benefactor Li, this humble monk respects you!"

Rujie Jie picked up the wine jar, he looked at Chen Changqing with sincere eyes.

Chen Changqing remained calm, picked up the wine jar, and took a big gulp with Rujie.

Although he knew that Rujie's invitation to help him exorcise the demon was for ulterior motives.

But Chen Changqing didn't pay any attention to it.

He was also eager to see what kind of demon was lurking in this place.

For Rujie to invite him to join forces, he must be no weakling.

After all, Chen Changqing had already noticed when Rujie came over to share the table that the other party's cultivation was not weak, reaching the Late Core Formation Stage.

"If they are demons at the Golden Core Stage, killing them would create a huge wave of AFK (away from AFK Points!"

Chen Changqing pondered silently.

He can only gain a few hundred AFK Points by killing Core Formation.

However, if it's Golden Core cultivator, killing them would yield at least a thousand AFK Points.

The Rat Demon King he had previously killed possessed the strength of Half-Step Demon General, equivalent to Golden Core cultivator among Human Race Cultivators who had one foot in the Purple Mansion Realm, and he even received a reward of 30,000 AFK Points.

Later, Chen Changqing unexpectedly obtained the Heaven-Stepping Ring in that stone wall Cave Heaven, and also obtained three heaven-defying Cultivation Method from the Heaven-Stepping Ring.

He originally planned to use the AFK Points after he broke through to the Golden Core Realm.

However, having obtained three extraordinary Cultivation Method, he used 30,000 AFK Points to accelerate his AFK progress.

Next, Chen Changqing ate and drank with Rujie for a while, and then took Wangcai back to his room to rest.

"Master, that monk clearly had ulterior motives, why did you agree to go with him?"

As soon as they returned to their room, Wangcai began to speak in human language.

It must have been holding it in for a while.
