Peerless War God

0In the blink of an eye, Chen Xiao had been in White Jade City for more than a month, and more than half of the time had been spent in the alchemy room.    

    

After all, he still had to pretend for a while to prevent himself from being exposed.    

    

"Could it be that this is really just an ordinary stronghold of the Black Sky Divine Sect?"    

    

Inside the alchemy room, Chen Xiao sat down and thought silently. On the table beside him, there were already pills that had been refined a long time ago.    

    

In the past month, he had been monitoring the entire White Cloud City with his Spiritual Sense. He did not let go of any trace, and he did not relax at all.    

    

However, he did not find anything. No matter how he looked at it, White Jade City was just an ordinary city, and there was nothing special about it.    

    

"Hmm, no rush. Continue to monitor it. There will be a discovery."    

    

Chen Xiao thought to himself. As for the Cloud Shattering Peak, he did not need to worry too much about it.    

    

In this month, Gu Lanyue had personally sent a message. Everything was as usual. The Cloud Shattering Peak was very stable. Even if there were any changes, he would know about it immediately. At that time, even if he rushed back, it would be enough to deal with it.    

    

"It's been a month. It's time to go out and take a breather."    

    

Chen Xiao stretched his back and immediately felt the bones in his body cracking. Only then did he feel a lot more comfortable.    

    

Being in the alchemy room and refining pills was not something a cultivator should do. It was too torturous and uncomfortable.    

    

He stood up, waved his right hand, and picked up a large pile of pills on the table, walking out of the alchemy room.    

    

He saw Wang Kun walking towards him with a tired look on his face, and his eyes revealed a look of surprise.    

    

"Brother Chen, you came out too. How's the refining? It looks good."    

    

Wang Kun said with a smile.    

    

Chen Xiao looked at the two big dark circles on his opponent's forehead and could not help but shake his head. He said, "So much effort? Be careful not to overuse your spiritual will and damage your brain. This is not good. It's not worth risking your life like this."    

    

Wang Kun sighed and said, "Sigh, who doesn't want to relax a little? It's just that I don't have that much ability, so I can only rely on selling some strength to earn immortal jades. Now that I can refine pills here and obtain a considerable amount of remuneration, I'm already very content."    

    

Chen Xiao was speechless and nodded.    

    

Wang Kun smiled with an indifferent look on his face, and he put his arms around Chen Xiao's shoulders.    

    

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go. Today, we can finally receive our remuneration. After refining pills for a month, all of this is for today, hehe."    

    

"En."    

    

Today, the manager, Zhou Zhiping, was present. He sat behind the table with a serious expression on his face. In his hand was a ledger, and in front of him was a line of cultivators who came to collect their remuneration. All of them had smiles on their faces.    

    

It could be seen that they were very content. Although these things were insignificant to Chen Xiao.    

    

"Wang Kun, you did well. You refined quite a lot of pills. This month's reward is 60 immortal jades. This is yours."    

    

Zhou Zhiping took the pill bottle from Wang Kun's hand and checked it before saying with a smile.    

    

He took a small bag of immortal jades and handed it to Wang Kun. Wang Kun hurriedly took it and beamed.    

    

"Thank you, Manager."    

    

"Yes, go on. Continue to work hard in the future."    

    

"Yes, I will. Manager, I treasure this opportunity very much."    

    

"Very good. Next, Chen Yao."    

    

Chen Xiao walked over and handed over the pills. When Zhou Zhiping saw this, he frowned slightly, "It's only this little?"    

    

Chen Xiao scratched his head. Was the other party thinking that it was too little? It should be quite a lot, right? He had refined it according to the standard of a Prominent Divine Realm cultivator.    

    

"Manager, don't blame me. Refining pills is a matter of mental exhaustion. I have limited energy, so I can only do this much."    

    

His words were quite appropriate. It could be said that he did not leave any room for the other party to find fault.    

    

Hearing this, Zhou Zhiping looked deeply at Chen Xiao. However, the other party's face was expressionless, so he could not see any flaws.    

    

Zhou Zhiping shook his head and did not think too much about it. "That's fine. Chen Yao, your reward is 30 immortal jades. Keep it well."    

    

"Thank you, Manager." Chen Xiao took the immortal jade and put it into his own bag.    

    

"My refining room does not support idle people. Starting from next month, you have to work harder and refine pills well. This pill is far from enough. Chen Yao, do you understand?"    

    

Zhou Zhiping said coldly, with a hint of warning in his voice.    

    

"Yes, I understand, Steward Zhou."    

    

Chen Xiao agreed verbally, but he sighed in his heart. This Black Sky Divine Sect was really interesting. Why was it in such a hurry to get a large amount of pills?    

    

"En, next one." Zhou Zhiping continued to shout, not caring about Chen Xiao much.    

    

Chen Xiao left silently and walked out.    

    

Wang Kun came over and patted Chen Xiao's shoulder, saying, "Haha, you were scolded by the steward, right? I told you to refine pills well. If you don't get it, you won't get it. Refining more pills and earning more money is also pretty good."    

    

Chen Xiao sighed softly and said, "It's pretty good, but I still have to cultivate, so I don't put all my energy on refining pills."    

    

He casually found an excuse and brushed it off.    

    

However, in fact, it was indeed so. It was not a lie. With such a small amount of ordinary pills, he only needed one or two days to refine them perfectly. The rest of the time was only for cultivation and monitoring White Jade City.    

    

It was just that these words could not be said.    

    

Wang Kun said with an expression of deep understanding, "I understand. I know that Brother Chen has great ambitions. You want to work hard to cultivate and become stronger. Unlike me, I'm probably going to be like this for the rest of my life. I'm going to eat and wait for death. If I earn a little immortal jade, I'll be able to live a good life. Isn't that great?"    

    

"You really think that way?" Chen Xiao was a little surprised and asked.    

    

"That's right, is it wrong? To be able to enjoy life in the right time, and to have an immortal jade, you should have a good time. Isn't that good?"    

    

Wang Kun blinked a few times and asked.    

    

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and indeed couldn't find a reason to refute, "You are right."    

    

Wang Kun laughed and said, "Come, Brother Chen, we just got our reward today. Let's go out and play. There are a lot of fun things to do in White Jade City."    

    

Chen Xiao subconsciously wanted to refuse. He just wanted to stay and continue cultivating, and didn't want to get involved.    

    

Moreover, in order to monitor White Jade City, he only needed to spread his Spiritual Sense out.    

    

However, when he saw Wang Kun's expectant expression, he didn't refuse.    

    

"Alright."    

    

When Wang Kun heard this, he was overjoyed, "Haha, that's great. Brother Chen, it seems that you are not a blockhead. That's right. If you don't enjoy life when you have money, wouldn't you have eaten so many months of hardship for nothing?"    

    

Chen Xiao smiled helplessly and didn't say anything.    

    

"I know. There is a very famous restaurant in the city, right next to the City Lord's Mansion. There are all kinds of delicacies, and there are all kinds of fun things to see. It is said that there are even some special games. Today, I want to go and experience it."    

    

Wang Kun became interested and began to talk about it enthusiastically.
