Dine and dash?! Just now?
(⊙o⊙)
No wonder this person looked familiar. He was the shopkeeper of the shop just now.
Shen Ying's face darkened. She and Yi Qing turned to look at Lonemoon angrily.
"Holy shit, why are you looking at me?" Lonemoon's face darkened too. He was too worried about that dead radish that he forgot. And … why did he have to be the one paying?
"Shopkeeper …" Lonemoon stepped forward awkwardly. This was the first time in his two lives that he did not pay for a meal and was chased out. It was too embarrassing! "Cough, it was our mistake. We were in a hurry to leave and forgot to pay. We'll make it up now. How many spirit stones did that meal cost? "
"Stop pretending!" The shopkeeper glared at him and said angrily, "All the cultivators saw it just now. The three of you ran away on purpose. If I didn't chase you today, would you come back to settle the bill? "
"Er …" Lonemoon's face turned red. He felt even more embarrassed. They really did not remember to pay.
"You want to settle it with just one word? It's not that easy! The meal you just had was made with spirit rice. It cost at least ten inferior-grade spirit stones. "
"…"
"I've seen too many people like you. You won't shed a tear until you see your coffin. If I don't teach you a lesson, won't everyone dare to come to my shop to eat and drink for free in the future? "With that said, he waved his hand. The people surrounding him all drew their weapons.
"Wait … Shopkeeper, let me explain." They really just forgot. Lonemoon was a little anxious. But he was in the wrong and could not do anything. "Let's talk this out! Hey, say something! "Lonemoon turned back to look at his companions who ran away.
Shen Ying and Yi Qing tacitly took a step back and turned their heads away.
Holy shit, these people have no sense of loyalty.
"That …" He could only bite the bullet and say, "How about this? I'll pay double the amount of spirit stones for that table just now? "
"Double?" The shopkeeper's expression became a little better. He scanned Lonemoon from head to toe and then gestured for everyone to put away their swords. "Are you serious?"
"Yes, yes." He directly took out his spirit stones. "Shopkeeper, please don't blame us. We really forgot."
"Good! On account of your sincerity. " The shopkeeper calmed down and continued, "This shop is not unreasonable. I will accept your Spirit Stones." He took the bag of spirit stones and suddenly thought of something. "You look like cultivators from the Upper Realm. I'll spare you this time. Hmph! The next time I see you eating and dashing, it won't be so simple. "
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lonemoon nodded vigorously. This was too embarrassing!
"Right, what's your name?"
Lonemoon froze. Was he going to be blacklisted? A moment later, she answered crisply, "My name is Shen Ying!"
Shen Ying: "…" Motherf * cker!
"Shen as in Three Dots of Water, Ying as in Fluorescent Light!"
"Shen Ying …" He turned to look at the other person. "What about you?"
Yi Qing stiffened. "… Radish!"
"How do you name a dish?" The shopkeeper frowned and turned to look at Shen Ying. "Then you … forget it, it's not important! Let's forget about it this time. Let's go back! "
With that said, he waved his hand and flew away with more than ten cultivators.
The three of them: "…"
A moment later.
"Why are you looking at me? Weren't you the one who ate the most just now? "What's wrong with using her name?" I can't tell him my real name, can I? Didn't Yi Qing change his name to Radish too? "
"Don't worry, don't worry. With your invisible presence, they won't remember you."
Lonemoon patted his chest and promised.
However …
Three hours later, Upper Azure Town.
Half of the shops on the streets had the same wooden sign hanging high in front of them. On it was a line of golden words that blinded the eyes:
Shen Ying and dogs are not allowed to enter!
Shen Ying: "…"
Lonemoon: "…"
Yi Qing: "…"
MMP！ Didn't he say he would be fine?
— — —
Upper Azure Town was an immortal city in the south of the Upper Azure World. This city was located at the edge of the various powers and did not belong to any aristocratic family or sect. It was one of the few neutral immortal cities. The city was full of people. As long as one was a cultivator, one could enter. It was very lively. Most of the cultivators who had just ascended to the Upper Azure World or those who wanted to join the aristocratic families would come to the city to find out more.
Lonemoon and Yi Qing asked around in the city and roughly understood the situation in the Upper Azure World.
Just like the rumors in the Lower Realm, the biggest immortal cultivation powers in the Upper Azure World were not the sects but the four aristocratic families. Besides the Xuan Yuan Family, famous for their alchemy, there was also the Yu Family, famous for their talisman arrays, the Yi Family, famous for their beast taming skills, and the richest family, the Yin Family. The Yin Family controlled more than half of the spirit stone mines. More than half of the shops in Upper Azure Town belonged to the Yin Family, including the shop where they dined and dashed.
Shen Ying finally understood why all the shops in the city hung the same sign.
MMP！
The four aristocratic families each had their own strengths and were equally powerful. Besides the main family, there were also various big and small branch families. They controlled more than 70% of the immortal cultivation resources in the Upper Azure World.
Although there were very few people who could successfully ascend to immortality, most of them came from the four aristocratic families. What's more, the aristocratic families were very powerful. They each had dozens of Soul Formation experts and four or five traveling immortals.
The rest were some immortal cultivation sects. Although they occupied a spirit vein and had many disciples, they were not strong enough to compete with the aristocratic families. The strange thing was that there were very few itinerant cultivators in the Upper Azure World. Because of the aristocratic families, except for some dangerous places or places with thick Yin Qi, there were very few places in the Upper Azure World without an owner. Regardless of whether they were born in the Upper Azure World or came up from the Lower Realm, they would all choose to join a power.
As a result, Shen Ying and the others were in an awkward situation.
"Given our current situation, it's not suitable for us to join any aristocratic family." Lonemoon frowned. Shen Ying's reputation for dashing and dashing aside. After the Xuan Yuan Family's incident, he and Yi Qing became famous. But the four aristocratic families were originally in a balanced situation. If they let them join, they would be going against the Xuan Yuan Family. And the other sects would not dare to openly go against them.
"It's not easy to survive in this world. Unless the Xuanyuan family is stupid enough to invite us back, no matter if it's a sect or a family, they won't be able to tolerate us."
"Why must I join?" Shen Ying asked. "Can't I cultivate on my own?"
"This place is different from the Middle Azure World. The aristocratic families have always been merciless to Fiendish Cultivators. If you want to find a place with abundant Spirit Qi to cultivate, you have to use the name of a sect or aristocratic family. Otherwise, you will be treated as a Fiendish Cultivator. That's why there are almost no itinerant cultivators."
"Oh." In other words, he needed to hang a card. Otherwise, he would be an unregistered demonic cultivator? "Then let's set up our own."
"Establish one?" Lonemoon was shocked.
"Master, are you talking about establishing a sect?!" Yi Qing was also shocked.
"Yeah." She nodded. Wasn't it just finding a place to land? Rather than relying on others, it was better to rely on oneself. Or did he need to go through some procedures or a business license?
"Build a sect with just the three of us? Don't joke around! "Lonemoon rolled his eyes at her." How can it be so easy to establish a sect? Do you really think you can open a shop as long as you have money? Let's not talk about anything else, we have to have a territory! The spirit veins in the Upper Azure World are mostly occupied by the aristocratic families and sects. Where are we going to find spirit veins? Unless we go back to the Middle Azure World. "Besides, it was not that easy to find one in the Middle Azure World.
"Without spirit veins, there will be no Spirit Qi. Without Spirit Qi, how can there be spirit plants and spirit beasts? Without these, how can we cultivate? " He looked at the radish beside him, which had already returned to its human form. "We're just a radish. Although it's a treasure and we can find all the spirit plants in the world, most of the Upper Azure World belongs to the aristocratic families. It grows on their land. Even if you know where it is, you can't just go and pluck it! "
Shen Ying turned back to look at the obedient radish. "Is radish very important?"
"Of course!" Lonemoon explained. "Let's not talk about alchemy first. Wherever there are plants or spirit plants, the Spirit Qi is many times more than in other places. Spirit veins are also formed because of this. No cultivator doesn't need Spirit Qi. "
So vegetables were so important. "As long as there are more radish fields, it will be enough?"
"You can say that."
"I've thought of a very suitable place," Shen Ying said seriously.
"…" What?
— — — —
Three days later, Demon Monarch Hall.
The Rabbit Monarch's legs turned to jelly and it rolled down from the throne. It looked at the person in front of it in disbelief.
It was dreaming, right? It had to be, right?
"Yo, rabbit, long time no see!"
