Witch, please have some self-respect!

Not far to the east of Lingnongfang is Linhuangfang, and beyond Linhuangfang lies the wilderness outside the city.

"Let's go to the Lingtian Management Office; it's safe there."

Upon hearing that the situation was unmanageable, the people in the alley did not hesitate, even the Wei brothers, and they all ran towards the Lingtian Management Office.

What a joke! Demonic beasts that have awakened their intelligence and cultivated demonic arts are far stronger than savage beasts.

Even disciples of the same realm of the Holy Sect would find it difficult to withstand, let alone this group of rogue cultivators living in Lingnongfang.

Only Song Da's eyes flickered upon hearing this.

My son has just joined the Holy Sect and wants to switch to breathing techniques, which has left him with a large debt of contributions.

As he walked, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran towards the direction of the battle.

"You guys go first, I'll go check it out."

Song Da had many considerations. This was a holy city, and a mere cultivator at the Body Nourishing Realm couldn't cause any trouble.

If he plays a role in slaying demons, he will be rewarded by the Holy Sect. He is in the late stage of Body Nourishing, so he has a chance.

He went home, grabbed his spirit hoe, and rushed towards Linhuangfang.

The sound came from that direction.

"Song Da is really muddleheaded. After farming for more than ten years, how much fighting strength does he still have left?" The Wei brothers shook their heads.

The group ran even faster, leaving the alley and emerging onto the street, where a vast crowd converged.

Several thousand people were gradually pushed aside, but they were all converging on the Lingtian Management Office.

Shen Yun and Su Wan'er relaxed as well. There was no way a demon beast at the eighth level of the Body Nourishing Realm could have killed its way here.

Even if they killed their way here, their spittle alone could drown it.

"Look! That tiger demon is in the street! It's over three meters tall!"

Looking down from the management office, one can see a black tiger demon leaping and slithering across the street, wreaking havoc.

Several blood-red figures surrounding it each exuded a powerful aura, yet none of them could inflict any real damage on the black tiger.

Instead, they were all swatted away by the tiger demon.

"Are there really such big differences between people who are both in the late stage of body cultivation?"

Shen Yun was also puzzled when he witnessed a battle between humans and demons for the first time.

This was different from what he had imagined—the siege and slaughter of the tiger demon; there was almost no one who could withstand a single blow.

"In the later stages of body cultivation, one's qi and blood dissipate from the body, and the cultivation techniques are not yet fully mastered, so how can one unleash their strongest power?"

"Who among the truly powerful cultivators lives in Lingnongfang or the most remote Linhuangfang? It's mostly us rogue cultivators who have no hope of joining a sect!"

"Look at that black tiger. As it pounced and swept across, blood-red stripes appeared on its body, but no vital energy dissipated..."

With so many people around, those who understand will naturally offer their own explanations.

Shen Yun suddenly realized that the reason why the blood and qi in the late stage of body cultivation seemed to be dissipated and made him look very powerful was actually because his cultivation technique was not up to par!

He thought that the blood and qi permeating his body, like a blood-red dragon, was a sign of strength.

"Excuse me..."

Suddenly, a commotion arose from behind, and several outer disciples were dispersing the crowd.

"Senior Brother Luo is out! Quickly move aside and let Senior Brother Luo make his move!"

There is a great gap in skill level among the outer disciples. Some, like Song Zichen, are new to the Holy Sect and have not yet matured.

Many disciples lacked sufficient cultivation and were not confident in capturing demonic beasts of the same level.

Fortunately, this is a holy city, and they were able to summon people quickly.

Hearing that it was a demonic creature that cultivated its body, the inner disciples and stewards were too lazy to make a move, and instead called out an outer disciple.

"You audacious monster, daring to cause trouble in the Holy City!"

A loud shout came from the main hall at the back, and a disciple of the Holy Sect in yellow robes stepped out, leaped up, and walked several steps in the air, gliding like a golden roc spreading its wings.

The disciple flew over the heads of the crowd on the street, which Shen Yun saw clearly.

Just as they said, apart from the soles of his feet, there was not a trace of vital energy dissipating from the disciple's body.

"roar!"

Sensing danger, the black tiger roared several times, its body growing even larger as it charged wildly, trying to break through the encirclement.

"Trying to run? Too late!"

The yellow figure's speed increased by three points, arriving first despite being behind, and blocking the way to fight the black tiger.

"Black Tiger, submit to your fate and become a sacrifice in my Demon-Slaying Sacrifice!"

Shen Yun and his men were dazzled by what they saw from the rear; afterimages were everywhere on the battlefield.

They can't distinguish between reality and illusion at all; even though they're both about nourishing the body, the differences are huge.

"Zzzzt!"

Just when Shen Yun thought the fight would continue, a dazzling golden blade of light flashed, and Black Tiger froze in place.

With a "poof," a huge tiger's head shot into the sky.

The yellow-robed disciple had somehow acquired a pale gold longsword.

One strike to the head!

"Senior Brother Luo is awesome! He'll definitely make it into the inner sect this year!"

"Both of us are at the eighth level of Body Nourishing Realm, slaying the tiger demon is as easy as eating and drinking. Senior Brother Luo is in the bag!"

A cheer erupted from the rear.

"Is the difference between beings in the same realm really that great?"

Shen Yun was captivated by what he saw.

The dozen or so black tigers, who were barely holding on in the late stage of the Qi Refining realm, were killed so quickly by that disciple surnamed Luo.

"A complete cultivation technique, matching combat methods and movement techniques, as well as a golden sword and a treasure weapon, with a void bag hanging at his waist—any outer disciple of the Holy Sect would be someone we could only look up to."

Some people sighed with envy.

The crowd slowly dispersed after the tiger demon was killed, but the scene remained etched in the memories of many.

What happened today deeply affected Shen Yun.

The difference between independent cultivators and disciples of sects is like heaven and earth.

It is superior in every aspect, including better cultivation techniques, combat methods, movement techniques, and the enhancement of magical artifacts.

Of course, what Shen Yun valued most was speed. The black tiger clearly sensed something was wrong and wanted to escape, but it wasn't fast enough.

It's okay if you can't beat them, but you can't outrun them either.

That would be utterly disastrous.

"There's no rush for combat techniques. Let's check with the Sacred Treasure Pavilion in a few days to see if they have any fast movement techniques!"

Shen Yun thought of the Shengbao Tower that Qiao Niang had mentioned.

Once I've finished crafting the six Originium stones and accumulated some wealth, I'll go take a look.

"My husband, Wan'er no longer wants to cultivate. From now on, I will focus on taking care of you."

Upon arriving home, Wan'er looked at the somewhat messy courtyard, tugged at Shen Yun's sleeve, and whispered something.

Shen Yun understood Wan'er's thoughts; she had been having this idea for the past few days.

He felt that his talent was unlikely to lead to any success in cultivation, so he decided to save all his savings for Shen Yun.

My husband seems to be very good at tutoring.

Most families in the alley are like this, devoting all their efforts to supporting one person's spiritual practice.

She felt really bad about the amount of pills, spirit rice, and beast meat she had consumed these past few days, and she ate in very small bites.

"I have good talent for assisting my cultivation, and I have the hope of entering the Blood Sea Realm in the future. If Wan'er does not cultivate, how can she stay by my side in the future?"

Shen Yun then took out a few more talisman stones and showed them to Su Wan'er.

"My husband succeeded again!" Su Wan'er's mouth dropped open in surprise, forming an "O" shape.

Having been exposed to this world over the past few days, Su Wan'er has come to understand the difficulty of minoring in a field.

If Shen Yun's previous success could be attributed to chance, then this truly proves that he has talent.

"Yes, I'm a genius!"

Shen Yun stroked his beard and chuckled.

"Then we must do everything in our power to please our husbands..."

Su Wan'er spoke more seriously.

"How many resources can you consume? If you do, I'll have to spank you."

Shen Yun pretended to be angry.

Su Wan'er blushed and, seeing her husband was angry, quickly agreed to cultivate diligently.

With spiritual practice as a secondary focus, she devoted more energy to the home, not wanting her husband to be distracted by household matters.

After comforting Su Wan'er, Shen Yun returned to his room to make talismans.

The Black Tiger Demon Beast incident was over, and the Holy Sect sent cultivators that same day to repair the damage caused by the tiger demon.

Cultivators are indeed the primary productive force. With the cooperation of seven or eight cultivators, more than a dozen houses and the ground were all repaired in less than a day.

The cultivators who entangled the black tiger also made a contribution.

Song Da was knocked away and broke several ribs when Black Tiger went berserk and tried to escape.

Because of his status as the father of a disciple of the Holy Sect, he bravely shielded the tiger from the tiger at the last moment, and was even used as a propaganda example, which made him a minor sensation between the two sects.

The important thing is that I received a reward of ten Originium Stones, which is truly enviable.

According to Lin Qiaoniang, the Song family's fortunes have turned around, and after so many years of silence at Lingnongfang, they are finally about to turn things around.
