Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

"Jiang Shi is my friend! If you dare to touch him, you're going against me!"

Lu Wenyi had just finished drinking and was slightly tipsy. Seeing that Jiang Shi was not coming up for a long time, he went down to check on him.

He saw Liang Yunlei and Jiang Shi getting into a conflict, so he quickly came over to help.

Youth is naturally the time when loyalty is most valued.

Of course, Lu Wenyi and Liang Yunlei didn't have a good relationship to begin with.

The two didn't get along at all.

Even among the scions of aristocratic families, there were factions, and they were not united.

There are only so many slots available for Foundation Establishment Pills; if you get one, he/she will run out.

Children from aristocratic families are more realistic and ruthless than ordinary people.

"For a scion of a noble family to befriend a good-for-nothing servant is a disgrace to our Qingyun Sect," Liang Yunlei said with a mocking expression.

"What!" Lu Wenyi couldn't swear, and he couldn't win an argument with Liang Yunlei.

His face turned bright red with anger.

"What? You want to hit me?" Liang Yunlei became even more provocative.

"Do you think I wouldn't dare?" Lu Wenyi took something out of his storage bag.

It was a jade pen, engraved with magic arrays, and possessed a very mysterious aura.

"A low-grade magic artifact!" A servant disciple in the restaurant exclaimed in surprise.

"You have a low-grade magic weapon, but I don't?" Liang Yunlei also took out a bead from his storage bag.

The beads shimmered with firelight.

Low-grade magic artifacts are extremely precious; even the cheapest one requires three to five hundred contribution points to obtain.

Seeing Liang Yunlei take out a low-grade magic weapon, Jiang Shi also stepped forward and stood next to Lu Wenyi.

"Hey Liang, if you dare to lay a hand on me, the two of us will definitely take you down."

Jiang Shi didn't have any low-grade magic artifacts, so he took out five water shield talismans, held them in his hand, and was ready to use them to shield Lu Wenyi at any time.

This matter was started because of him, and Lu Wenyi stood up for him.

He certainly wouldn't hide behind it.

"Alright, Junior Brother Jiang. Let's both of us teach him a lesson."

At this moment, Lu Wenyi felt as if he had transformed into a chivalrous hero from a storybook, slaying demons and monsters.

For a moment, I felt a surge of excitement.

"Junior Brother Liang, Junior Brother Lu. Forget it, forget it. We're all fellow disciples, why make things unpleasant over such a small matter?"

The restaurant manager's senior apprentice came down from the third floor and, seeing the scene before him, quickly came over to mediate the fight.

After all, fighting in a restaurant and breaking things would have a bad influence on him.

"Actions taken in private will result in a year of seclusion for reflection. The Qingyun Sect will be holding its sect competition a year from now. You two don't want to miss it, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Yunlei put away the low-grade magic artifact bead in his hand.

He never intended to actually fight, but his youthful spirit made him too proud to back down. Now that someone had given him a way out, he naturally stopped.

"Since that's the case, let's call it quits for today. But you two just wait, this isn't over. You'll be in for a world of hurt when this sect competition starts a year from now."

Liang Yunlei uttered a harsh remark, then turned and left.

Seeing this, Jiang Shi and Lu Wenyi also stopped.

"Junior Brother Jiang, how was it? Your senior brother helped you a lot," Lu Wenyi said to Jiang Shi with a touch of youthful pride.

It was as if he was trying to curry favor with Jiang Shi.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your righteous help!" Jiang Shi said, bowing with his hands clasped in gratitude.

"Hahaha." Lu Wenyi burst into laughter upon hearing this.

After this incident, Lu Wenyi's attitude towards Jiang Shi improved even more.

They had fought together, and their friendship deepened quickly.

After parting ways with Lu Wenyi, Jiang Shi returned home.

He pulled a small black notebook from under the bed and began writing with a rabbit-hair brush dipped in cinnabar.

The three characters "Liang Yunlei" were written on it.

It uses Earth's script from my past life memories.

Even if someone examines it, no one will be able to understand it.

After finishing, Jiang Shi began his cultivation.

His "Fire Spirit Technique" was just a little short of reaching perfection.

【Fire Spirit Technique: Great Success (2950/1000)】

With two more days of practice, I will surely break through to perfection.

Jiang Shi continued his cultivation for three months.

During this period, he rarely went out except to deliver spirit talismans and complete contribution point tasks.

He spends the rest of his time cultivating.

[Fire Spirit Technique: Perfected (3000/3000)]

[Earth Spirit Technique: Great Success (100/3000)]

In three months, he not only mastered the Fire Spirit Technique, but also achieved great success in the Earth Spirit Technique.

He originally planned to cultivate until he perfected the Earth Spirit Technique before going out.

On this day, there was a sudden knock on the door.

A familiar voice came from the doorway.

"Junior Brother Jiang, Junior Brother Jiang." Li Ze's voice rang out at the door.

Jiang Shi finished his practice and opened the door.

"Senior Brother Li, what brings you here?" Jiang Shi asked, puzzled.

"Junior Brother Jiang, the Canglin City auction has started. Do you want to go and join in the fun?" Li Ze said.

"Sure, I'll pack my things and go with you guys." Jiang Shi agreed after a moment's thought.

It would be good to go and see an auction in the cultivation world.

Jiang Shi closed the door, took out hundreds of low-grade first-rank spirit talismans from the cabinet, and put them in his package.

He then took out five first-grade superior fireball talismans, three first-grade superior wooden spike talismans, and five first-grade superior water shield talismans, and hid them in his sleeve.

He sealed a hidden pouch in his sleeve to hold the talisman.

If you are fighting someone, you can quickly take out a talisman to attack or defend.

After packing, Jiang Shi carried his bag out the door and met up with Li Ze.

Li Ze wasn't the only one in the courtyard; four of his senior brothers were also there.

They were all planning to go to the auction together.

"Senior brother, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Jiang Shi walked over carrying a package.

No one questioned what was in his package.

Everyone was prepared, carrying large and small bags.

Just like a rural person moving to the city, it greatly damages the demeanor of a cultivator.

However, there was nothing they could do; storage bags were expensive and not something that these menial disciples could afford.

Even if they saved enough money to buy a storage bag, they wouldn't buy it; they'd rather use that money to buy pills or cultivation techniques.

Many members of the Qingyun Sect went to Canglin City to attend the auction.

Among the scions of noble families, some rode spirit pets, while others trod on magical artifacts.

The servant disciples could only borrow a carriage from the common courtyard to travel to Canglin City.

The journey was safe, and we didn't encounter any danger.

They arrived at Canglin City.

"Junior Brother Jiang, let's split up first and meet again at noon."

These people all had their own secrets, and they parted ways as soon as they entered Canglin City.

This is also what Jiang Shi is willing to do.

Canglin City is a city composed of cultivators, and it is full of cultivators. He is a Qi Refining Stage 4 cultivator, so he does not attract anyone's attention.

After wandering around for a while, Jiang Shi finally found his destination.

Canglin Chamber of Commerce.

The largest merchant guild in Canglin City, it is said that they sell everything.

Jiang Shi went inside, and a cultivator came to greet him.

"Fellow Daoist, are you buying or selling something?" This cultivator was a mid-level Qi Refining cultivator and was the shopkeeper here.

"Selling items." Jiang Shi took out a low-grade first-rank spirit talisman from his package and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took it and looked at it, then said, "One Grade 1 Low-level Water Shield Talisman costs ten spirit crystals."

"I wonder how many you have?"

The shopkeeper looked up and asked Jiang Shi.
