My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 154 Negotiation
Three months ago,

Someone is causing trouble at the village entrance.

When Shen Changchuan arrived at the scene, he discovered that a group of victims who had a blood feud with the Three Blood Demons wanted to grind the corpses of the Three Blood Demons hanging on the flagpole to dust in order to vent their hatred.

After Shen Changchuan learned the whole story,

Considering the tragic fate of those individuals, whose entire families of several thousand people had been slaughtered by the Three Demons of Blood Slaughter, and the deep hatred they harbored, and also seeing their commendable attitude,

So they simply handed over the corpses of the Three Blood Demons to them for free to dispose of.
I did not ask for anything in return from them.

Even though, given the circumstances at the time, they would have paid a price that would have bankrupted their victims if Shen Changchuan had offered it.

But at the time, he thought it best to forget about it.

Others are already in such dire straits, there's no need for them to make money from things like that.

Afterwards, under Nangong Cheng's supervision, they finally divided the corpses of the Three Blood Demons into pieces, then divided them equally, allowing each person to take their share back and dispose of it as they saw fit.

some of,
Nangong Cheng also made a suggestion,
That is, using the part of the corpse they obtained as the main body, asking some folk sculptors to carve the rest of the corpse, assembling them together, that can represent the Blood Slaughtering Three Demons.

Just like paper money and paper effigies, burning them in front of the grave is enough to comfort the spirits of their deceased relatives in heaven.

Nangong Cheng's idea was agreed upon by everyone.

After disposing of the bodies of the three Blood Demons, and reserving some for the remaining victims who would seek revenge later, those people went back to pay respects to their deceased relatives.

Shen Changchuan originally thought that the matter was over and did not continue to follow up.

He did not expect,
After the victims returned to pay their respects to their blood relatives...
Several people let go of their hatred and obsession, but when they looked around, they saw that their relatives and families had long been slaughtered by the Three Demons of Blood Slaughter.

In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, the place where I grew up has become a desolate ruin overgrown with weeds.

For a time, life seemed aimless.

Some people were so desperate that they even contemplated suicide.

But they soon remembered the kindness they owed to the person who had avenged them and generously handed over the corpses of the Three Blood Demons, allowing them to fulfill their long-cherished wish.

This kindness is too heavy!
I have no choice but to pay it back!

then,

There were a few cultivators who had no worldly attachments.
After paying respects to their loved ones
Several people then set off again and returned to Dawan Village.

At that time,
Shen Changchuan has been in seclusion for more than half a month.
Wanting to repay their kindness, they did not want to disturb them and ended up staying temporarily in a house in the eastern part of the village.

At that time,

As news spread that there was a temporary trading post for the Chamber of Commerce in Da Wan Village, more and more monks from outside began to arrive.

Experts and powerful figures from all walks of life arrived one after another.

A mixed bag of dragons and snakes.

This caused considerable chaos in the commercial area east of the village.

When the conflict unfolded before those people, those who had come to repay a debt of gratitude did not stand idly by.

To offer direct assistance

They stepped in and suppressed the troublemakers.

They later learned from their maternal grandfather, Han Qinhu, that the permanent residents of Dawan Village were not very powerful.
There's basically no way to deal with those highly skilled guests.
They have the will but lack the power.

Although at the beginning, Shen Changchuan also relied on the remaining personnel of several major chambers of commerce to form patrol teams to maintain order,
However, even the major trading companies lacked manpower when transporting goods.
The remaining people could only barely maintain a certain level of stability.

A fierce battle erupted between the seventh level of Qi Refining experts, and they were willing but unable to fight back.

After learning that their benefactor's business was in trouble,
Those men brought their own food, discussed the matter with Han Qinhu, and voluntarily joined the patrol team to help stabilize the market order.

And besides them,
Nangongcheng has also visited several times, appearing in the commercial district to further advocate for order within the district.

Thus, with the combined efforts of all parties,
The order in the Dawancun commercial district was completely restored.

As a result, no problems arose during these three months.

"Is this a case of good deeds being rewarded?"

Shen Changchuan walked through the crowd, observing the orderly scene in the commercial district. The incident his grandfather, Han Qinhu, had previously told him about flashed through his mind.
I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The good karma reaped from that initial act of kindness

I never expected to receive such a reward so soon.

Shen Changchuan was certain that

Without their help,
The order in the commercial district will inevitably be a big problem!

This could also potentially interfere with one's secluded cultivation, making it difficult to concentrate and significantly slowing down the pace of cultivation improvement.

Market chaos could even lead to business decline and worse consequences!

Sometimes, it's important to retain some kindness and compassion, and not to prioritize personal gain in everything.

Just like this time,
If he had chosen to squeeze every last penny out of the victims of the Bloodbath of the Three Demons,

Then there wouldn't have been the later assistance from everyone to solve the problems encountered in the business district.

"Perhaps I should host a dinner party for them tonight?"

I saw a guard patrolling in the distance.
One of the ringleaders seemed to be one of the victims of the Blood Slaughtering Three Demons, and his name was An Dawu, I think.

A thought flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind.

However, seeing the group disappear into the distance...

Shen Changchuan did not go up to greet him.

Thanks or something,

It would be better to wait until evening to host a banquet and express our gratitude in a more formal way.

Let's find out about the situation of the chambers of commerce from Si Houqing first.

"Brother Si, I just came out of the pass and heard that your caravan, which consisted of several merchant guilds, was attacked one after another during the transport process, resulting in the loss of a large batch of goods. How is it now?"

After finding Si Houqing in the backyard of the temporary trading post, Shen Changchuan didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

"Brother Shen, it's really kind of you to make the trip in person."

"Alas, this matter is indeed quite troublesome."

Regarding Shen Changchuan's arrival,

Si Houqing welcomed them very warmly.
However, deep within his brows, one could still see a hint of worry that he couldn't hide.

"Brother Si, please just say it. I've received so many spirit stones from you, so I should do something in return."

At Shen Changchuan's request,
Si Houqing did not hide anything and recounted the details in detail.

The situation is indeed somewhat dire.

Both cargo transports were ambushed, resulting in significant losses not only to the goods but also to the escorting personnel.

More importantly,

The situation is getting worse and worse!

It's clear to everyone that even greater chaos is on the horizon.
Next,
Is it possible to continue doing business?

The business owners who had moved into the commercial street were all considering leaving.
