Chapter 21: Heading to the Mortal World
The atmosphere at the dinner table became a little heavy against the backdrop of the blood-red sky.

Zhou Xingyun soon fell drunk.

As a time traveler, Fang Chen could understand him quite well.

Because of his normal moral values, he is out of tune with the whole world.

This was obviously not his fault.

The world of cultivation is sick.

Zhou Xingyun also realized this, but he had no ability to change and could only give up on himself.

After thinking about it, Fang Chen took out a blank jade slip from the first generation immortal palace, engraved a message on it with his spiritual power, put it in Zhou Xingyun's pocket, then left the box and went downstairs to find Zhou Xingyun's third uncle.

"Xiao Yun is drunk?"

When Uncle San saw Fang Chen coming down alone, he already knew what had happened.

Fang Chen nodded and replied: "Well, he was in a bad mood and drank a little too much."

"Ah, I'm sorry to make you laugh. Xiaoyun is full of enthusiasm, but he hit a wall in Huoyun Sect, and the knot in his heart has not been untied."

Uncle San also understands Zhou Xingyun’s situation, which is normal, after all, they are family.

"It's okay. I think there's nothing wrong with maintaining some basic humanity. Anyway, thank you Zhou family for your hospitality today. Fang thanks you."

After saying that, Fang Chen still politely bowed to his third uncle.

"No need to be so polite, my friend. Have a safe journey to the mortal world."

Uncle San also returned the greeting and sent his blessings.

Fang Chen bowed, turned and left.

"The Zhou family has good family education, no wonder Xingyun can maintain a pure heart."

Walking on the streets of Fangshi, Fang Chen thought with admiration.

There are four entrances and exits to Lianyunfang City, and the exit on the east is closest to the mortal world.

The mortal world is a broad concept. All places with thin spiritual energy can be called the mortal world. The west, south and north of Lianyunfang City are all surrounded by the Lianyun Mountains, which have rich spiritual energy.

Therefore, the mortal world discussed in the market refers to those places to the east of Lianyun Market where there are no spiritual veins or moonlight grass is grown.

There were quite a few people gathered at the exit. When they saw Fang Chen coming, one of them immediately came up to him and said enthusiastically, "Young man, are you also going to retire to the mortal world? Nowadays, thieves are rampant, so why not join us and ensure each other's safety."

"No, I'm used to being alone."

Looking at the person who came, Fang Chen's eyes widened a little, as if he was a little surprised, but immediately returned to normal and rejected the person's invitation.

"Well, I wish you a safe journey then."

The man didn't insist, just bowed and walked aside.

Fang Chen looked at his back again, raised a barely perceptible arc at the corner of his mouth, and left alone.

"Tsk, for a kid at the first level of Qi training, he's quite alert."

When Fang Chen walked away for a distance, the kind expressions on the faces of this group of people all disappeared, and the person who had just talked to him had a gloomy look on his face.

"Boss, since this kid doesn't know what's good for him, let me teach him a lesson for you."

Seeing that his leader was somewhat dissatisfied, one of his younger brothers immediately jumped out.

"Today's target is the Wang family, so we must not create any other problems."

The leader shook his head. He still knew what was important.

The Wang family bought one hundred moonlight grasses and a large amount of supplies in Lianyunfang City in one go, and the value of their goods exceeded 20,000 spirit stones.

In contrast, although Fang Chen's parents had accumulated a considerable amount of savings, the news of his squandering of wealth had spread throughout the market.

Even if we rob him, at most we'd get a puppet and a few spirit stones. It's meaningless and it would easily alert the enemy.

"Boss, let me go. The look in this guy's eyes was a little strange just now. He might have discovered our identities. To be on the safe side, it's better to get rid of him."

Another person spoke up, and he also noticed the change in Fang Chen's eyes just now, which successfully made the leader waver.

"In this case, we really can't just leave it alone. Go ahead."

After weighing the pros and cons, the leader decided to eliminate all risks and get rid of Fang Chen.

Anyway, he is just a useless guy at the first level of Qi training, and this little brother of mine is enough to kill him.

...After leaving Lianyunfang City, Fang Chen felt that the concentration of spiritual energy dropped again in an instant.

This made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's true that cultivators cannot live without spiritual energy. We haven't even reached the mortal world yet, but the concentration of spiritual energy is less than one-third of that in the outer part of the market town, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

This was the first time that Fang Chen was in a place where spiritual energy was relatively scarce. He became more deeply aware of what Zhou Xingyun had said about the cultivators' dependence on spiritual energy.

"The guy who came back from the Absolute Spirit Swamp was really awesome. He traveled so far through the mortal world and explored the swamp. No wonder he sounded so regretful at the time. I'm afraid he consumed a lot of medicinal pills."

He thought again of the monk who had introduced him to the Jueling Swamp, and couldn't help but admire him in his heart.

To be able to stay in a place without spiritual energy for so long, he must be a tough guy.

"Bam—"

Fang Chen, who was thinking and walking at the same time, was suddenly hit by a huge fireball, raising a cloud of dust.

"Humph, the leader said he was very vigilant, but it seems that he is not that good."

Amidst the flying dust, the man who had just noticed the change in Fang Chen's gaze and was sent by their leader walked out.

"Oh? Then what do you think it means to be vigilant?"

A teasing voice sounded behind him.

"Of course I do—how is that possible?"

When he heard the question, the man started answering before he could react at first.

But he immediately realized something was wrong. He turned his head suddenly and saw Fang Chen standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.

"What do you want? I'm asking for your advice sincerely. It's good to be more vigilant when you're out."

Fang Chen's smile became much gloomier, making him feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

"You are just a kid at the first level of Qi training, and you dare to act like a ghost? Watch my fireball technique."

Soon he broke free from this feeling of oppression. Thinking that he was actually afraid of a little ghost at the first level of Qi training for a moment, he couldn't help but get furious and raised his hand to cast another fireball.

"Do we still need to shout out the names of moves during a fight? Then respect your tradition, Spirit Rain Technique."

Fang Chen snapped his fingers, and suddenly heavy rain poured down.

The opponent's fireball was directly extinguished.

"how is this possible?"

The man's eyes widened. Spirit Rain was the lowest level of planting magic. If one wanted to use this to break the Fireball, one had to at least reach the level of proficiency.

But the intelligence clearly stated that he had only mastered the Earth Spirit Spell to the proficient level, and that he was practicing earth-attributed techniques.

How can he master the Spirit Rain Technique to a mastery level?
What kind of crappy information did that guy named Li Ji give us?

The visitor hated his employer in his heart for asking him to kill Fang Chen.

He also hated himself for taking such a job for the extra money of 100 spirit stones and even lying to his boss.

That's right, he didn't notice Fang Chen's gaze at all. Someone gave him spirit stones and asked him to kill Fang Chen, so he just made up an excuse.

Who could have thought that the ant at the first level of Qi training, which I thought could be easily crushed to death, would be so difficult to deal with.

"Can you answer a question for me?"

Fang Chen looked at the person who came and his tone became cold.

"Wha, what's the problem?"

"Who sent you?"

"It's a man named Li - ah -"

Before he finished his words, another huge fireball appeared out of nowhere and covered Fang Chen and the other person.

It hit the ground that had become wet due to the Spirit Rain Technique, and a large amount of black smoke rose instantly.

The unfortunate guy's screams also came through the black smoke.
