Due to the presence of the anonymous spirit talisman, Ji Boying attracted the attention of many demonic cultivators as soon as he entered the outer city.

However, after seeing that Ji Boying was just an ordinary cultivator wearing ordinary clothes and only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, the majority of demonic cultivators withdrew their gaze.

Seeing that those demonic cultivators had no interest in him, Ji Boying continued walking towards the market.

The market has now regained its previous liveliness.

However...

The owners of the shops on both sides, as well as the passing customers, have changed from ordinary cultivators to demonic cultivators.

Of course, there are exceptions for some shops.

However, behind those shops, there are experts or powerful families sitting in control, so ordinary demonic cultivators dare not be too presumptuous.

After a while...

Ji Boying followed the main road of the market and arrived in front of the Spirit Pill Pavilion.

Surprisingly, not only was the shop open, but there were also quite a few customers coming and going.

Compared to when there were events going on before, it was no different at all.

Ji Boying raised an eyebrow, paused slightly, and then walked inside.

As soon as he entered the gate, an attendant came over with great enthusiasm.

However...

When the attendant noticed the aura and spiritual fluctuations on Ji Boying were completely different from those demonic cultivators, the smile on his face was instantly replaced by astonishment.

After a slight pause, the attendant walked up to Ji Boying and smiled, saying, "What does the guest need?"

Ji Boying glanced roughly inside the shop and then said, "Take me to see the Minor Return Pill."

"Alright! Please follow me, guest!"

The attendant bowed deeply to Ji Boying and then walked towards the nearby medicine cabinet.

"Our shop has three levels of Minor Return Pills: top-grade, excellent-grade, and high-grade. Which level does the guest need?"

"The high-grade one will do."

Ji Boying said softly.

"Alright!"

The attendant chuckled and then took out an ordinary jade bottle from the medicine cabinet.

"Would you like to check it first, guest?"

Ji Boying nodded slightly, took the pill from the attendant, removed the bottle stopper, and waved his hand.

The quality was fine, indeed a high-grade pill.

However...

Didn't the Spirit Pill Pavilion stop selling high-grade pills and specialize in excellent-grade pills? Why are they selling high-grade pills again now?

After a pause, Ji Boying asked the attendant about the purpose of his visit.

"May I ask, Fellow Daoist, who is the current owner of the Spirit Pill Pavilion?"

"The owner?"

The attendant didn't understand why Ji Boying suddenly asked this question, so he instinctively replied, "The owner is our second young master, Sun Qingchen, Young Master Sun."

Sun Qingchen?!

Ji Boying's face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

He smiled and continued to ask, "I remember that Young Master Sun seemed to be the owner of Jichun Hall in the eastern part of the city, right?"

"I had the pleasure of seeing Young Master Sun's extraordinary demeanor when I went to Jichun Hall to purchase pills before."

"That was a month ago."

The attendant explained with a smile, "Now, whether it's Jichun Hall in the east or the Spirit Pill Pavilion here, they are all owned by Young Master Sun."

"I see..."

Ji Boying nodded at the words, then bid farewell and left the Spirit Pill Pavilion.

As for Sun Youfu's whereabouts...

He didn't inquire, after all, they were all Sun Qingchen's people. If he were to inquire rashly, it would probably attract the other party's attention.

However, based on the current situation, it's not difficult to guess that Sun Qingruo should have been completely defeated in the family dispute.

If Sun Youfu didn't encounter any unexpected circumstances, he should have returned to the Sun family or been arranged to another industry.

Thinking of this, Ji Boying couldn't help but sigh.

——

After leaving the Lingdan Pavilion, Ji Boying went straight back to the Yunzhong Mansion.

Although on the way back, he was targeted by a few demonic cultivators, but... they only followed him for a short while before giving up.

Presumably, they thought that Ji Boying, a mere mid-level Qi Refining cultivator, didn't have much flesh on him and they couldn't be bothered to continue.

Passing by the gate of the Yunzhong Mansion.

Ji Boying noticed that there was a large piece of land being demolished nearby.

There were also many cultivators watching.

"I was worried before that I wouldn't be able to go to the east side of the city to find the girl after the demonic cultivators entered the city. I didn't expect that in such a short time... Fengming Pavilion intends to build another branch here in the Yunzhong Mansion!"

"Yes, I heard that there are many courtesans who will also move to this branch! It's just the right time to accumulate spiritual stones during this period, and then enjoy the feast in the pavilion, and find a highly skilled young girl to have some fun... hehe..."

Several onlookers were chatting with smiles on their faces, but... as they continued speaking, their expressions began to become lewd.

Several female cultivators around saw the lewd looks on those male cultivators' faces and immediately spat in disgust, saying:

"Phew! Men are truly not good birds!"

After hearing these words, those male cultivators immediately became unhappy and shouted at the female cultivator:

"You haven't even seen us, how do you know if we are good birds or not?"

The female cultivator, unwilling to back down, replied:

"Just by looking at your cowardly appearance, anyone can tell you're not good birds!"

"You bitch, dare you compare with me?"

The male cultivator also became somewhat angry and walked up to the female cultivator, shouting.

"Alright!"

The female cultivator also became more angry.

Like this...

The two of them walked towards a sparsely populated alley not far away and began their so-called comparison...

But not long after, a fierce fight broke out in the alley.

Ji Boying's face turned dark.

This is also possible?

Indeed, he still has a lot to learn.

Although he has been here for more than ten years, what he truly understands is just a drop in the ocean, just the tip of the iceberg!

It seems...

There are still many things he needs to learn!

——

Since Ji Boying returned from the Treasure Pavilion, over a month has passed.

Apart from daily communication and exchange of talisman techniques, he spent his time making talismans, refining pills, and practicing swordsmanship.

During this period, apart from the monthly submission of talismans and the purchase of materials for making talismans and refining pills, Ji Boying did not go out.

The outside world is not peaceful, so it's best not to go out if you don't have to.

As for adventures...

Just thinking about it is enough. How can one peacefully cultivate Goldfinger with his wife at home?

Thinking about the online novels he read in his previous life on Earth, although the protagonists had heaven-defying luck and could always escape death, they were always outside, either in this secret realm or that secret realm, either offending this person or that person.

It's so tiring!

His current state is the most comfortable.

The life of a cultivator should be simple and plain, and boring.

"Husband..."

Just as Ji Boying was sitting on the steps, feeling content with his current life, Xiao Ninger suddenly hugged him from behind.

In her voice, there seemed to be a hint of sadness.

Ji Boying gently held Xiao Ninger's delicate and boneless hand and asked softly:

"What's wrong, Ninger?"
