No wonder this man looked familiar, he turned out to be the shopkeeper of that store.
Shen Ying's face turned dark, and she and Yi Qing turned to look at Gu Yue next to them accusingly.
"What the hell, what are you looking at me for?" Gu Yue's face turned dark. Wasn't he so anxious about that dead carrot that he forgot about it for a moment? And...why did he have to be the one paying?
"Shopkeeper..." Gu Yue stepped forward with an embarrassed look. After two lifetimes, it was the first time in her life that she didn't pay for a meal and was chased out. It was so embarrassing! "Well, we made a mistake and forgot to leave in a hurry. Pay the bill and make up for it now. I wonder how many spiritual stones that meal just cost?"
"Stop pretending!" the shopkeeper glared at him and said angrily, "All the monks saw it just now. You three ran away on purpose. If I don't chase you today, will you come back to settle the bill?"
"Uh..." Gu Yue's face turned red, and she became even more embarrassed. They really didn't think of paying the bill.
"One mistake and it's over. It's not that easy! The meal you just ate was made from spiritual rice and at least a dozen low-grade spiritual stones."
"..."
"I've seen people like you a lot, and I won't shed tears until I see the coffin. If I don't teach you a lesson, everyone will dare to come to the store to eat and drink for free." As he said this, he waved his hand and people gathered around him. Everyone summoned their weapons one after another.
"Wait a minute... Shopkeeper, please listen to my explanation." I really just forgot. Lone Yue was a little anxious, but she couldn't handle the situation. "If you have something to say, please tell me! Hey, you guys should say something!" Gu Yue looked back at her fellow fugitive.
Shen Ying and Yi Qing tacitly took a step back and turned their heads.
Damn it, these are such heartless people.
"Um..." He could only bite the bullet and said, "What do you think of this? I paid double the spiritual stones for the table just now?"
"Double?" The shopkeeper's face looked better now. He glanced at Gu Yue up and down, and then signaled everyone to put away their swords, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Really, really." He took out the spirit stone directly, "Don't be surprised, shopkeeper, we really forgot."
"Okay! For the sake of your sincerity." The shopkeeper calmed down and continued, "Our store is not unreasonable. I will accept this spirit stone." He took the bag of spirit stones. Something suddenly occurred to me, "Looking at you, you look like monks who have just ascended to the world. I'll spare you this time. Huh! If I see you eating Overlord's meal again in the future, it won't be so simple."
"Yes, yes!" Gu Yue nodded vigorously, so embarrassing!
"By the way, what's your name?"
Gu Yue froze, was she going to add him to the blacklist? After a while, she answered crisply, "My name is Shen Ying!"
Shen Ying: "..." MMP!
"Three o'clock water sinks, fluorescent fireflies!" continued to add.
"Shen Ying..." He turned to look at the other person, "What about you?"
Yi Qing froze for a moment, "...Carrot!"
"How do you choose a dish name?" The shopkeeper frowned, and then glanced at Shen Ying at the end, "Then you... forget it, it doesn't matter! Forget it this time, let's go back?!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and flew away again with a dozen monks.
Three people: "..."
A moment.
"Why are you looking at me? You were the one who ate the most just now, weren't you?" What's wrong with using her name? "You can't tell him your real name, right? Didn't Yiqing also change his name to Luobo?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, with your invisible presence, they won't be able to remember you."
Lone Moon patted her chest vigorously in assurance.
However……
Three hours later, go to Qingcheng.
I saw the same wooden sign hanging high in front of half of the shops in the streets and alleys, with a line of large gilded characters on it that blinded people's eyes:
Shen Ying and dogs are not allowed inside!
Shen Ying: "..."
Gu Yue: "..."
Yiqing: "..."
MMP! Is everything okay as promised?

Shangqing City is a fairy city located in the south of Shangqing Realm. This city is located on the edge of various forces and does not belong to any family or sect. It is one of the few neutral fairy cities. There is a mixed crowd in the city, and anyone who is a monk can enter. It is very lively. Most of the monks who have just entered the world or the disciples who intend to join the aristocratic family will come to this city to inquire about the news.
Gu Yue and Yi Qing inquired around the city and got a rough idea of the situation in Shangqing Realm.
As rumored in the Lower Realm, the largest immortal cultivating force in the Upper Qing Realm is not the sect, but the four major families. In addition to the Xuanyuan family, which is famous for its alchemy cultivation, there is also the Yu family, which is famous for its talisman formations and focuses on beast control and weapon training. The Yi family, and the richest Yin family. The Yin family controls more than half of the spirit stone mines, and more than half of the shops in Shangqingcheng belong to the Yin family, including the one where I had the Overlord meal before.
Shen Ying finally understood why all the shops in the city hung up such signs.
MMP!
The four major families each have their own strengths and strengths. In addition to the main family, there are also various large and small branch families. They control almost more than 70% of the resources for cultivating immortals in the Shangqing world.
Although there are very few people who can successfully ascend to immortality, most of the people who ascended come from the four major families. Moreover, the families are very powerful, with dozens of masters who can transform into gods, and each family has four or five Bingjie Youxian. .
The rest are some cultivating sects. Although they occupy a spiritual line and have many disciples, they are not enough to compete with the aristocratic families. The strange thing is that there are very few casual cultivators in the Shangqing world. Due to the reasons of the aristocratic families, some are removed from the Shangqing world. In dangerous places or areas with strong Yin Qi, there are few unclaimed territories. Whether they are people born in this world or people from the lower world, they will choose to join one force.
As a result, Shen Ying and the others fell into a very embarrassing situation.
"With our current situation, it is not suitable to join any aristocratic family." Gu Yue frowned. Let's not talk about Shen Ying's reputation for eating the King's meal. He and Yi Qing were also famous for the turmoil in the Xuanyuan family, but among the four aristocratic families, The world is inherently a balanced situation. If they are allowed to join, they will be clearly against the Xuanyuan family. And other sects do not dare to openly oppose them.
"This world is not easy to live in. Unless the Xuanyuan family invites us back, neither the sect nor the aristocratic family will be able to tolerate us."
"Why do you have to join?" Shen Ying asked, "Can't you practice on your own?"
"This place is different from the Zhongqing world. The aristocratic families have always been merciless to demon cultivators. If you want to find a place with abundant spiritual energy to practice, you have to do it in the name of the sect or the aristocratic family. Otherwise, it will be treated as a demon cultivator, so there are almost no casual cultivators."
"Oh." In other words, we need to put up a sign, otherwise it will be a black account of magic cultivators? "Then we can set up one ourselves."
"Establish one?" Gu Yue was surprised.
"Master is talking about establishing a sect?!" Yi Qing also looked shocked.
"Yeah." She nodded, isn't it just to find a corner place? It's better to rely on others than to rely on yourself, or do you need to go through some procedures, or a business license or something?
"It's just the three of us who want to build a sect? Don't be ridiculous!" Gu Yue rolled her eyes and said, "How can it be so easy to open a sect? You really think it's just opening a shop, as long as you have money! If nothing else, We must have a territory! The spiritual veins in the upper Qingjie are almost occupied by aristocratic families and sects. Where can we find the spiritual veins? Unless we go back to the Qingjie." And it is not that easy to find in the Zhongqingjie.
"Without spiritual veins, there is no spiritual energy. Without spiritual energy, where would the spiritual beasts come from? How can we practice without these?" He looked at the carrot next to him, who had returned to his human form and said, "We are just a carrot, even though we are a human being. Honey, you can find all the spiritual plants in the world, but most of the areas in Shangqing Realm belong to aristocratic families. If they grow in other people's fields, even if you know the location, you can't pull them out!"
Shen Ying turned around and looked at Carrot with a cute face, "Is carrot or something important?"
"Of course!" Gu Yue explained, "Let's not talk about alchemy training. Wherever spiritual plants are planted or grow, the spiritual energy is several times that of other places. The spiritual veins are also formed from this. No matter what kind of monk or who No need for spiritual energy.”
It turns out that vegetables are so important. “Is it enough to just plant a lot of radishes?”
"You can also say that."
"I thought of a very suitable place." Shen Ying said seriously.
"……"What?

Three days later, Demon King Palace.
King Rabbit's legs went weak and he rolled down from the throne, looking at the person in front of him in disbelief.
