"Good."
Chen Changming nodded, not caring which banner or incense he joined in the Breeze Hall, since his Senior Sister wasn't in the Breeze Hall anyway.
"Senior, this is for you."
The woman at the seventh level of Qi Refining, who had finished embroidering the Black Tortoise pattern, smiled gently and handed over a booklet.
" Chen Bai, this is the Clear Light Art, an exclusive Cultivation Method of our Demon-Slaying Alliance. Once mastered, it allows you to circulate your Law Power to form a layer of defensive clear light around your body, which can resist the invasion of Demonic Qi."
Li Qi said.
At this moment, he also changed his address from Fellow Daoist Chen to his given name to highlight his identity.
Chen Changming also noticed the change in Li Qi's tone, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, Li Qi's cultivation was higher than his, and he was also a steward of the Breeze Hall. Within the huge and bloated Black Tortoise Division Department, he could be considered a minor leader.
"Very well, I will certainly master the Clear Light Art as soon as possible."
After receiving the Clear Light Art, Chen Changming clasped his hands in a fist salute and smiled modestly.
Oh, right.
Li Qi slapped his forehead and said with a hint of envy, "I forgot to tell you, the Ninth Incense you joined belongs to the Tenth Flag, and your direct superior, Incense Master Liao, is a stunning beauty!"
"Oh... hehe..." Chen Changming was speechless and could only give a simple, awkward smile.
At this moment, he looked like an honest young man in his early twenties, so his simple smile was consistent with his persona and wouldn't give anyone any jarring impressions.
"You take him there."
Li Qi spoke to the woman at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
"Yes, Steward Li."
The woman bowed respectfully, then led Chen Changming away from the courtyard.
"Another greenhorn, I don't know if he's just pretending, but by the Ninth Incense, that woman Liao Yunfang is no pushover. Her Silk Cave can definitely produce any kind of magic weapon."
Li Qi sneered, then, as if remembering something, he chuckled maliciously, his smile now carrying a hint of lewdness.
After traveling through Mo'ya City for a while, Chen Changming also had the opportunity to observe the woman leading the way.
This person has a beautiful face, looks to be in her twenties, has a tall and full figure, and a larger buttocks than average. She seems to be a young woman who has already experienced adulthood, without any trace of naivety.
"According to Li Qi, the Demon-Slaying Alliance has now gathered most of the cultivators from the Chu Kingdom, scattered across the four departments. With such a complex group of people, there must be many unsavory things happening within it..."
Chen Changming thought to himself.
The reason he thought this way was because he remembered the lewd look that flashed in Li Qi's eyes when he described Incense Master Liao, which made him start to re-examine this person.
The Black Tortoise Division has tens of thousands of people, who come from various forces and are like a scattered pile of sand. It is not easy to manage them, which is why they are divided into 108 halls and 10 banners and 10 incense.
After walking for a while, the woman who had been leading the way brought him into a large courtyard.
"Senior, the Ninth Incense of the ten banners has arrived."
The beautiful woman spoke respectfully.
In the courtyard, a man at the first level of Foundation Establishment was lying on a bench sunbathing. His face was pale and bloodless, giving him a sickly appearance.
"Oh, a new colleague has arrived."
The man jumped up suddenly and rushed over excitedly.
"My name is Chen Hu. May I ask your name, sir?"
The man warmly shook Chen Changming's hand, his face beaming with smiles.
"What a coincidence, we're from the same clan. My name is Chen Bai."
Chen Changming smiled.
He hadn't expected this pale-faced man to be so enthusiastic towards him, which made him feel somewhat flattered.
" Incense Master, a new member has arrived."
Chen Hu suddenly turned his head and shouted excitedly.
"A new person has arrived?"
The door was pushed open with a bang, and a fragrant breeze carried a slender figure into the room.
The newcomer was a young and beautiful woman, with a figure even more voluptuous than the elegant woman at the seventh level of Qi Refining. She was incredibly alluring, with captivating, watery peach blossom eyes.
She was tall and slender, exuding a fragrant aroma. Her long legs were incredibly alluring, and her skin was as white and smooth as milk, radiating a soft glow. Her jet-black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall.
"My name is Liao Yunfang, in charge of the Ninth Incense."
Liao Yunfang stared at the honest-looking young man in front of her with her beautiful eyes, looking him up and down, when suddenly her eyes lit up.
This man was physically robust, and his every move exuded a strong masculine aura.
"Greetings, Incense Master Liao. My name is Chen Bai."
Chen Changming cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said politely.
" Chen Bai, you can choose any room from that row over there, just don't pick the ones with red ropes hanging on the doors..."
Liao Yunfang extended her jade-like finger and pointed to a row of rooms on the west side.
"Alright, thank you very much, Incense Master Liao."
Chen Changming smiled, bowed in thanks, and walked over.
He sensed a hunger in Liao Yunfang's eyes that only a cat feels when it sees a fish, which displeased him.
" Chen Bai, I'll treat you to a welcome-back dinner tonight! All of us from Ninth Incense will gather at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, and we'll drink until we drop!"
Watching Chen Changming's retreating figure, Liao Yunfang called out meaningfully.
"Good."
Chen Changming turned around and thanked him once again.
As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since he had joined the Demon-Slaying Alliance, even though he knew it was a colorful melting pot, he had already jumped in, so he could only Harmony with Light and Dust and get mixed up in the pot.
This can be considered a kind of experience.
Inside this courtyard, there are two rows of rooms on the east and west sides, totaling more than twenty rooms. The number of people in the Ninth Incense has always remained at around ten, so Chen Changming easily found an empty room.
This empty room is located on the outermost side of the west row.
The room was quite simple, similar to a single room in the Cangnan Pavilion. Chen Changming didn't mind, as he had already cultivated to the Foundation Establishment and had little desire for enjoyment other than cultivation, so he wasn't picky about his living environment.
"This Liao Yunfang has a lewd look in her eyes, which flashes with lust every now and then. She's probably a heretical Evil Cultivator in the art of 'yin-yang replenishment,' and that Chen Hu might have been subjected to it, which is why he looks so weak..."
As soon as the door closed, Chen Changming's eyes flickered.
As the Incense Master, Liao Yunfang's cultivation level was at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, posing no threat to him. However, Chen Changming did not intend to easily reveal his Body Cultivator.
After all, this was his survival strategy in chaotic times.
It should never be used lightly unless in a life-or-death crisis.
Within the entire Black Tortoise Division, only the Foundation Establishment cultivators on Li Xiushan's Immortal Boat know that he cultivates Dual Cultivation of Body and Dao. Due to the lack of information, others are currently unaware of this.
After all, he had only shown Li Xiushan the cultivation level of the second level of Foundation Establishment. In the eyes of these big shots in the Black Tortoise Division, he was not a very powerful figure. Chen Changming could feel this contempt from Zhao Ziying's later attitude towards him.
That's good.
The more these important figures underestimate him, the safer he becomes.
Scanning the room with his Divine Sense, Chen Changming discovered that there was also a formation that isolated Divine Sense. He couldn't help but nod.
It seems this is a characteristic of the residences of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
After all, Foundation Establishment cultivators all possess Divine Sense, and they are very wary of each other.
With a flick of his hand, Chen Changming conjured the booklet of the Clear Light Art in his palm.
"So, the light emanating from Li Xiushan and the others must be from cultivating the Clear Light Art..."
Chen Changming was quite looking forward to this Cultivation Method and slowly turned the pages of the book.
