If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 34: Consumption needs to be increased

Li Yanmo got up early in the morning and came to the morning market leisurely.

As soon as Li Yanmo sat down, the waiter greeted him warmly.

"Sir, is this still the same?"

"Yes, hurry up—"

Li Yanmo was a celebrity in Risheng City. Of course, it wasn't a good reputation. How could someone who could go to jail two or three times a day have a good reputation? But Li Yanmo was very popular.

Because Li Yanmo was really generous and open-minded, and he had never done anything to bully men or women.

After eating and drinking, Li Yanmo returned to Shen's house. At this time, Shen Ziqing was waiting for him at the door.

"Master, everything is ready—"

"Okay, let's go."

Li Yanmo and Shen Ziqing swaggered to the place where they purchased wood.

Seeing Shen Ziqing appear and directing the workers, the man with a fat belly suddenly shuddered and rubbed his hands repeatedly, "Isn't this Mr. Shen?"

"Boss, my master wants to purchase some wood," Shen Ziqing nodded with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I wonder what kind of wood you want, Master Li?" The man rubbed his hands and looked at Li Yanmo with a flattering face.

"This... is the most expensive one. I want them all!"

Li Yanmo thought about it and realized that since the main purpose was to bring down the Demon Fairy Sect, the consumption must be increased.

The man's face suddenly turned pale.

That’s right, he is also Li Qiu’s accomplice.

The Immortal has already explained that the Shen family is facing difficulties from the military, and the Shen family’s consumption must not be increased.

Under normal circumstances, he could certainly bear it, but the problem was that the gray industries in Risheng City were almost wiped out by them, and there was almost no profit to be made. If he was hit twice more, he would really vomit blood.

But unexpectedly, before the man could speak, Shen Ziqing reached out and grabbed Li Yanmo.

"Master, this isn't very nice. Can I come and talk to you?"

"Second brother...that's fine too."

Li Yanmo thought Shen Ziqing was feeling guilty, so he nodded. However, Shen Ziqing turned around and raised his finger to the man with a smile.

"Boss, I want all the wood you have here, whether it's expensive or cheap. But as you know, the Shen family has encountered some difficulties recently. I wonder if you can give me a friendly price."

The man froze in place for a moment.

So Shen Ziqing took away all the man’s belongings, including the table and chairs, at a friendly price.

Afterwards, Li Yanmo and Shen Ziqing visited other people who were suspected to be Li Qiu's accomplices.

Because of the previous experience, Li Yanmo handed over power to Shen Ziqing.

No matter who it is, Shen Ziqing comes up and says, "I want them all."

Li Yanmo felt that Shen Ziqing was a man who loved spending money, but it was a pity that this time he was spending the Demon Immortal Sect's money.

After a round of wandering, Leng Ningshuang's storage bag that she had rented out in a friendly manner was filled with all kinds of strange things. Regardless of whether they were useful or not, they were all burned with the Demon Fairy Sect's money.

"Ah... it's a pity that there is no monks' market in Risheng City," Shen Ziqing said regretfully.

Hearing this, Li Yanmo suddenly realized a problem.

He had been wandering around Risheng City for so long, but he had never seen any monks setting up stalls to sell magic weapons and secret manuals.

Just at this time, Leng Ningshuang, dressed as a playboy, came up.

After hearing Li Yanmo's doubts, Leng Ningshuang's face was full of strangeness. That expression made Li Yanmo wonder if he was just asking why the sun rises from the east.

"Of course, it's because those cultivators don't have business permits." Seeing that Li Yanmo seemed genuinely unaware, Leng Ningshuang patiently explained, "Trade is the easiest place to breed greed, so the Dayu Dynasty is very strict about trade. Of course, the main targets are cultivators. As you know, cultivators selling things is very likely to cause conflicts."

"Not long ago, a cultivator who didn't know the value of a jade pendant sold it at a low price. The jade pendant could open the residence of a powerful cultivator in the fusion stage. After selling it, he found out that something had happened. Then the two sides fought each other, and the mountain range was flattened in just a few rounds. Can you imagine such a thing happening in Risheng City?" Li Yanmo took a look at the bustling market and felt a chill.

"There are countless such incidents. To prevent them, the Dayu Dynasty issued an imperial decree to the Taoist sect. Therefore, the monks' markets are now either in secret realms or on their respective mountains. The farther away from mortals, the better."

"By the way, how far along are you in your plan?" Leng Ningshuang snapped open her folding fan. "When I arrived, I saw several suspects staring blankly at the empty shops."

The suspects that Leng Ningshuang mentioned were naturally Li Qiu and his gang.

"It went very smoothly," Li Yanmo took off the storage bag from his waist and shook it. "I hope that Lord Leng will give me a way out because of my hard work in the renovation."

"Hehe - that's hard to say," Leng Ningshuang raised her chin, looking a little proud.

Shen Ziqing stared at the storage bag in Li Yanmo's hand and thought for a while before saying, "Master, I have an immature idea. I wonder if you can let me handle these things."

"Of course," Li Yanmo handed the storage bag to Shen Ziqing without thinking.

As for what Shen Ziqing was going to do, Li Yanmo didn't ask, but Li Yanmo was very relieved.

After Shen Ziqing took the storage bag, he returned to the Shen family with a smile on his face. He called a few servants and deliberately found a place close to the government office. He set up a stall on the spot, hung out the cheapest things in the storage bag, and asked the servants to hold up banners.

There were four big words written on the banner: The family has fallen into poverty!
After hearing about this, Li Qiu and others put on masks of pain.

They now seriously suspect that their identities as followers of the Demon Immortal Cult have been exposed, and Shen Ziqing is openly blackmailing them.

But they have no evidence.

Even if there is evidence, it is useless.

After a few days of leisure, Leng Ningshuang finally remembered the surprise inspection at Li Yanmo's reminder, and led his men to the zoo on the spot.

Of course, the detectives who went with them were all trustworthy and knew the plan.

Under Li Yanmo's hospitality, the detectives happily played with their animal friends for an entire afternoon.

Before leaving, in order to make the performance more realistic, the detectives signed a letter of commitment to voluntarily work overtime under Leng Ningshuang's supervision. Then, under Leng Ningshuang's leadership, they left the zoo with gloomy and depressed faces.

Because of playing with their animal friends, their hair and clothes were messy, as if they had suffered a great loss.

Zuo Buqun, who had been anxiously pacing at the gate of Risheng City, saw this situation and the corners of his mouth began to tremble uncontrollably.

Although he wanted to laugh, Zuo Buqun still coughed and started to criticize Leng Ningshuang.

"Constable Leng, I've said it before, to be a constable you must remain calm and never be affected by your own prejudices."

However, even though he was scolding her, Zuo Buqun didn't act too recklessly. After all, Leng Ningshuang was a true foundation-building cultivator, while he was just a Qi cultivator.

……

The Demon Immortal Sect meeting was held as scheduled.

Looking at Li Qiu and others who were full of righteousness but looked as if their bodies were hollowed out, the immortal was silent for a few seconds and then spoke slowly.

"...Everyone, thank you for your hard work. The Demon Immortal Cult will never forget your contributions."

"After it's done—"

The immortal wanted to make some promises, but he didn't expect that when the words came to his lips, the righteousness of heaven and earth in Li Qiu and others would be entangled.

The immortal was silenced.

There was once a devil who wanted to seduce a great scholar, but he was killed by the righteousness of heaven and earth as soon as he opened his mouth.

"The Fireworks Festival after the 17th will be the day when all your wishes will come true, so I hope you will all give it your all."
