Since the birth of the Sacred Flame Sect, the cultivation world has been in chaos, with the level of danger increasing sharply.
Chen Changsheng also dared not go out casually because of this, especially after settling in Taiping City, he basically wandered around the city.
Unknowingly, hundreds of years passed, the Sacred Flame Sect became history, the demons and evil cultivators outside were suppressed by the righteous forces and had nowhere to hide, and the righteous cultivators ushered in a glorious and prosperous era.
The lifespan of evil spirits is the same as that of the demon race. They can live for at least a thousand years without being harmed, making them a perfect labor force.
If it weren't for this amazing lifespan, the demon race would have become extinct long ago with its pitifully low reproductive capacity.
Afterwards, Chen Changsheng came to the City Lord's Mansion. Now, it was Luo Liuxi who was handling the affairs of the City Lord.
Inside the house, Luo Liuxi was wearing a pure white gauze dress, exuding a holy and flawless aura, with a beautiful and peerless face, like a fairy sitting in a painting.
Feeling Chen Changsheng's arrival, she gently put down the brush in her hand and smiled sweetly: "I'm really surprised that you came here. Is there anything important?"
"Yes, I'm going to go out for a walk. I'm here to tell you."
Chen Changsheng nodded.
Luo Liuxi pondered slightly upon hearing this, and said with a playful look: "You are finally willing to leave the city. Are you going to bring back a new Dao companion this time?"
The corners of Chen Changsheng's mouth twitched slightly: "Am I that kind of person?"
"Hopefully."
Luo Liuxi said with a smile: "Others need to consider many factors when looking for a Dao companion, especially aptitude, but this doesn't seem to be a problem for you."
She also saw Yu Niang's situation. Although she was a ghost cultivator, her body was completely that of a mortal.
However, after more than a hundred years, Yu Niang's appearance has not changed at all, and her life aura is that of a twenty-seven or eight-year-old mortal beauty.
A mortal body without spiritual roots has lived out the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, which is simply unbelievable.
Moreover, judging from her state of vitality, she can continue to survive, and will probably live longer than a Foundation Establishment cultivator…
Combining Chen Changsheng and Miao Miao's longevity breakthroughs, everyone in the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage speculated that Chen Changsheng had the ability to extend the lifespan of others and himself.
It's just that Luo Liuxi and Zhuo Heng didn't mention this matter, and the other elders tacitly kept silent.
But if they weren't curious, that would definitely be a lie.
"It's just a special method, but it can only be achieved together if you become my Dao companion."
Chen Changsheng smiled and said meaningfully: "Don't we also have a thousand-year agreement? Don't go back on your word then."
The corners of Luo Liuxi's mouth raised slightly: "When you are a thousand years old, I will agree to become your Dao companion."
"A thousand years old, that's still four hundred years away."
Chen Changsheng smiled and stepped forward to give her a hug, and said: "But I can wait. I'm leaving. If you miss me, send me a private message."
"Be careful and pay attention to safety. Remember to activate the Ancient Immortal Token as soon as you encounter danger."
Luo Liuxi gently patted Chen Changsheng on the back with her slender hand.
The two stood in the house and hugged for a long time, smelling each other's breath, forgetting the passage of time.
As for when Luo Liuxi accepted Chen Changsheng, she herself couldn't remember clearly. Perhaps it was during the first discussion of Dao? Or perhaps it was during the other party's first offense?
These were no longer important.
She only knew that she had accepted this man with ordinary aptitude and lower cultivation than herself from some point in time.
There was always a unique temperament on the other party, which deeply attracted her.
He seemed to be a spectator of human history, seemed to be an immortal who had descended to the mortal world to travel, and didn't care about time.
…
Several months later.
A celebration was being held in Lianjiao City, and the streets of the city were lively and noisy.
Many ferocious demon beasts were trapped in cages and moved to the streets for people to visit. No matter how brutal they were, they could not break through the cage's restrictions.
Each impact could stir up brilliant array fluctuations.
"Master, the cultivators captured the demon beasts and paraded them for people to visit. Aren't they afraid of offending the demon race?"
Miao Miao, dressed in a purple-gold gauze dress and wearing a light-shielding veil, leaned close to her master's ear and asked in a low voice.
Chen Changsheng looked like a handsome young master, waving a folding fan gently: "Who knows? Maybe there are great powers protecting them. The key to this kind of thing is to see whose fist is harder. The same thing happens in different cities, and there will be different results."
The guardians of some cities have overwhelming cultivation, and the demon race will only drink their hatred on the spot if they break into the city to take revenge.
But if a great power of the demon race breaks into the city, and the strength of the cultivator guarding the city is not as good as the other party, then this city will inevitably be devastated.
"Our Lianjiao City is not afraid of the demon race's revenge."
At this time, an old man with a sallow complexion next to him chimed in: "Fellow Daoist, is this your first time in Lianjiao City? Actually, these demon beasts are all pets raised by the City Lord. There is no danger at all."
Chen Changsheng nodded slightly after hearing this, not wanting to pay attention to the other party.
The old man's eyes swept over Chen Changsheng and the two beauties behind him, and he smiled brightly: "Fellow Daoist, do you need me to lead the way for you and show you the characteristics of this Lianjiao City? This city has extremely special rules and regulations, especially the behavior of several major families is quite bad. I'm worried that the young master will accidentally fall into their trap."
"No need to bother."
Chen Changsheng waved his folding fan with a smile, then turned around and left. Miao Miao and Yu Niang remained silent throughout the whole process, following closely behind him.
However, the old man kept pestering him, following behind and saying: "Fellow Daoist, there is no need to be so cautious. I just want to earn some spirit stones, and I have no malice."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Changsheng turned around indifferently, his eyes staring directly into the other party's pupils: "If there is no malice, why did you call people to surround us?"
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding passers-by suddenly stopped, turned around and looked over with playful smiles on their faces. Obviously, this was a pre-designed trap.
Those real passers-by, seeing this, skillfully hid under the nearest eaves, peeking out cautiously.
It can be seen that this kind of thing happens frequently in the city.
The old man smiled insincerely: "Fellow Daoist is really perceptive. I just said that I just want to earn some spirit stones. If Fellow Daoist doesn't want to suffer physical pain, hand over the storage ring, and we won't make things difficult for the three of you."
"The family with the bad style that you mentioned just now is referring to yourselves, right?"
Chen Changsheng's expression was calm, and he didn't put these people in his eyes at all.
The highest cultivation of the other party is only the Foundation Establishment stage. It's not that the other party surrounded them, but that the three of them surrounded the other party.
"So what? Fellow Daoist, don't you think you can delay time? Give up. The City Lord of Lianjiao City won't come to help you. If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame us for being impolite."
The old man snorted coldly, and his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation suddenly erupted, pressing towards Chen Changsheng and the others.
It's just two Foundation Establishment cultivators with a mortal. They're still pretending to be calm, looking like they have a powerful background. It's really ridiculous.
