Selling Chickens, Not Embarrassing

Hui Neng's mouth became longer and more terrifying, like a bloody hole. It swallowed his head directly, and a black fog-like thing finally broke free.

"Wu wu wu~"

Cold winds howled and black energy surged.

Hui Neng's body collapsed to the ground. Monk Hui Neng's ferocious face appeared on the black fog. He laughed wildly and howled as he pounced at Lu Chen's face.

"Ghost Retribution?"

Lu Chen was fearless. He looked on calmly as if he was looking at something new. It was only when the black fog reached him that he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out. "Hu~"

A dark red wave of air gushed out and was a foot away from the mouth. The black fog collided with the red wave and quickly melted like ice.

"Ahhhh! No, no, no!" Monk Hui Neng let out a miserable scream. In the blink of an eye, the black fog melted under the red waves.

"Suck~~" Lu Chen opened his mouth and inhaled. The air wave returned to his mouth and he smiled. "That's it? Hehe, you… know nothing about me!"

The thing he spat out just now was called [Pure Yang Breath]. Ever since he started cultivating the Eternal Youth Technique, there had been an additional breath. It did not have much power, but it was the most effective against ghosts and evil spirits. When the Pure Yang Breath reached nine mouthfuls, he would be able to achieve the [Pure Yang Body].

Pure Yang aura.

Nine mouthfuls!

Pure Yang Body!

Lu Chen was looking forward to it.

Seeing that he had contributed two techniques, Lu Chen buried Hui Neng's body under the large pagoda tree in the temple. He endured the stench and tidied up the right wing. Then, he looked at the light screen in front of him and stretched out his hand.

"Open!"

[Eternal Youth Technique Upgrade Conditions]:

[1: Practice for three days (0/3, unachieved!)]

[2: Three departed souls (1/3, unachieved!)]

[3: 10 grains of Spiritual Sand (0/10, unachieved!)]

…

"Departed souls?"

The Soul Essence that he originally needed had become departed souls. Because he had just killed Hui Neng, he had already collected one. In that case, it seemed that killing chickens and ducks would not work.

"Departed souls are most likely referring to humans. Are chickens and ducks called soul essences?"

Lu Chen seemed to be deep in thought as he looked at the two chickens and the duck. These were the only three little fellows left in the Daoist temple after he caused trouble.

It was so cute that he could not bear to part with it, but… he still had to confirm it.

"Ga ga ~"

A moment later, the last duck failed to resist and fell into a pool of blood. Only two trembling chicks were left in the huge Daoist temple.

"They're in pairs. They're neat and tidy. That's fine." Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction. Like a demon king, he looked at the unchanged data and finally confirmed his guess.

Departed souls are equivalent to dead people.

Soul Essence is equivalent to chickens and ducks.

…

The Eternal Youth Technique was a body tempering technique. It was Lu Chen's current main cultivation technique. Because it required departed souls, it might affect his cultivation progress. However, he also needed to improve on other aspects.

The Vajra Fist had fused with the Eternal Youth Technique. Although his memories were still there and he could still cultivate it, the light screen no longer showed it. So that means he could only improve three types.

"Open!"

"Open!"

"Open!"

[Qi Cultivation Technique Upgrade Conditions]:

[1: 50 days of hard work (1/50, unachieved!)]

[2: Five grains of spiritual sand (0/5, unachieved!)]

…

[Sunu's Secret Technique Upgrade Requirements]:

[1: Qi Refinement Level 1 (Unachieved!)]

[2: One Dao Companion (Unachieved!)]

[3: Dual Cultivation 10 times (Unachieved!)]

…

[Maha Kasyapa Palm Upgrade Requirements]

[1: Half a day of palm practice (Unachieved!)]

[2: 10 taels of silver (Unachieved!)]

…

The requirements of the Sunu's Secret Technique were rather harsh. For the time being, it did not meet the criteria for the upgrade, so he did not consider it for now. Due to the overall improvement of his body, the requirements to enter the Qi Cultivation Technique had been reduced by half.

With a little effort, it would only take less than two months.

Except.

The condition of 50 days of hard work was a little difficult. For the past few days, Lu Chen had actually tried it every day, but because he was not hard working enough, it was only counted as a day's progress. It seemed that he still needed to work hard.

He had to try to meet the requirements on a daily basis.

As for the [Maha Kasyapa Palm], Lu Chen did not have much appetite. An ordinary-level palm technique that was not at the advanced level would not improve him much. He would leave it to fate.

Eternal Youth Technique.

Qi Refinement Technique!

These two were Lu Chen's next two main goals. After calculating, he began to sort out his net worth.

A Changchun Temple.

50 kilograms of black pork.

14 chicken and duck meat.

Two chicks.

5 taels of silver!

21 grains of spiritual sand!

There was a magic tool, a peach wood sword, a token, and a letter.

"Sigh, it's not enough to level up for the time being."

Now, he could barely protect himself with his strength. Moreover, he had the Pure Yang Breath to counter ghosts and evil spirits. He also knew the mastermind behind this. It could be said that he was finally relieved.

After that, there was no need to be afraid.

After washing up, it was already past midnight and almost four in the morning. He did not want to think about anything else and lay on the bed to sleep.

…

He slept until dawn.

The next day, Lu Chen changed into a simple Daoist robe with a short knife at his waist. He carried a peach wood sword wrapped in cloth and carried something on his back. This was the first time he opened the temple door.

Creak~~

The old wooden door groaned as Lu Chen staggered out of the Daoist temple. He looked back again. On the mottled door, there was a long plaque hanging diagonally. On it were the words "Chun Temple", making one's imagination run wild. As for the first word, "Chang", it had long disappeared.

"Everyone said law, but law originally did not exist. Everyone said emptiness, but emptiness does not mean empty. There is useless in usefulness, and undeserved contribution have contributed in the contributions.

"Silence and quiet are all the same. Dreams don't exist in dreams. If it's ripe, it will naturally turn red. Ask not how to cultivate the seed."

Lu Chen hummed a mouthful of Daoist lyrics as he walked through the streets and alleys towards the market.

"Long time no see, Little Daoist."

"Good morning, Scholar!"

"Little Daoist, where's your master? I haven't seen him for a few days."

"My master is in seclusion and doesn't want to see any guests."

After leaving the remote northeast corner, he met more and more pedestrians. From time to time, acquaintances would greet Lu Chen. Lu Chen had to stop from time to time to return the greeting. The bandit calamity from a few days ago seemed to have disappeared.

After a long time, he finally arrived at the lively market. He found an empty space and put down the things he was carrying. He placed them neatly and sat on the ground, waiting silently.

"Little Daoist, how much is your chicken?"

"Fifty coppers a piece."

"Oh, it's so expensive."

"I've raised an old hen for a few years. Men eat it to strengthen their bodies, and women will become younger when they eat it. Auntie, if you eat it, you'll be at least three to five years younger. It's not a loss!"

"Look at your little mouth. Alright, I'll buy it."

"Auntie is so generous!"

Yes, Lu Chen was selling chicken, duck, and pork. It had been delayed for a few days, and he could not finish it. If he continued to leave it there, it would probably spoil. It was purely a waste. His master was already at the third level of Qi Refinement and had also done this kind of business. Similarly, he could not do without firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

The aura of mortals was the most touching!

Cultivation was the same as mortals. This was the life of a low-level cultivator.

Selling chickens was not embarrassing!

Half an hour later, more than half of the chickens and ducks had been sold. At this moment, a woman appeared on the street, attracting the attention of many people. The woman walked over leisurely.

She was mature and charming. She was curvaceous. Her posture was graceful.

She had a golden phoenix head accessory on her head and a snow-white fox fur coat on her shoulders. Her slender hands were holding a mandarin duck silk handkerchief. Her small waist was slender and her fair hands seemed to be boneless.

She had a charming face and a flirtatious figure!

The woman came with a wave of fragrance and bowed to Lu Chen. "Little Daoist, where's your master?"

"Female… Householder, what's the matter?"

"My Yingying has been missing for two days. I'm willing to pay five taels of silver. Can your master help me find her?"

"Who's Yingying?"

"My little fox."

"I'm sorry, my master is in seclusion and can't meet guests!"

"Alright then~"

The woman left in disappointment. Lu Chen's eyes widened as he stared at her graceful back. The fragrance lingered as she swayed away. Only when she disappeared did he retract his gaze with a dark expression.

His master was able to accumulate dozens of grains of spiritual sand because of a skill. The [Circular Light] was the most convenient way to track.

It could be used in many places.

When he was free, he would also take on small jobs that cost five taels of silver each time. It was worth it for his master to cast a spell once. Unfortunately, he had yet to learn it, so he could only sell chickens.

However, this woman was different.

There was a huge problem.

Because when she walked… her feet did not touch the ground!
