Chapter 389 - 157: The Church of All Beings is courting death and Liang Sheng is manipulating the world like a chess game (Request for monthly tickets in 8k combined s)

Time flew, and three months had passed.

Over these three months, Liang Sheng had been living an extremely comfortable life, even his meals were exquisite rarities.

He was the Deputy Colonel of the Cleaning Department and a Nascent Soul Master in the Upper City; he was considered to be among the higher beings. What more could be said about him being in the Lower City, where Foundation Establishment Experts were rare?

In the Lower City, countless cultivators wanted to form connections with “Chen Quan” or even just show their faces in front of him.

If “Chen Quan” could remember them, it would be an enormous blessing. Look at the Giving Bodhisattva who had been favored by a Nascent Soul Master and directly progressed to Qi Refinement Completion.

Moreover, it was said that she even received the reward of a Foundation Establishment Pill and succeeded in her Foundation Establishment in one fell swoop. So, everyone was trying to gain favor from Liang Sheng.

They had sunk into the world and struggled desperately to establish their foundations, but all their efforts seemed like a joke at this point.

This woman was nothing more than a lowly cultivator with a despicable profession, the lowest rung of the spiritual hierarchy, the most contemptible existence.

But reality was ridiculously cruel. She easily became a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, an existence that they could only look up to.

Who would dare to say anything in front of a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator?

Only those who didn’t cherish their lives.

It was rumored that the woman wanted to voluntarily become “Chen Quan’s” servant and serve him until her death, but “Chen Quan” directly rejected her.

When they heard this news, everyone secretly cheered. How could such a person from the lowest rung of society have such foolish thoughts?

However, the final result was still hard for them to accept. This Giving Bodhisattva had successfully entered the Upper City and became one of the higher beings they had always dreamed of becoming.

There were rumors that the spiritual energy density in the Upper City was extremely rich, and those cultivators who were used to the density of the Lower City would mostly feel dizzy the first time they entered the Upper City.

One’s whole life of diligent cultivation could not compare to the fortune of a Giving Bodhisattva. It could only be said that Heaven was truly unreasonable.

This also led to the cultivators of the Lower City who were constantly watching over “Chen Quan’s” mansion, wanting to seize any available opportunities. After all, what if their relationship could bring them luck?

Liang Sheng naturally ignored all of this. However, since he once praised the taste of the food outside, there had been all sorts of food streets right outside his mansion.

If you liked it, then they tried their best to satisfy your appetite. They dreamed of one day being in “Chen Quan’s” good graces.

Although the Lower City was not comparable to the Upper City, the spiritual energy density in the Lower City was much richer than in the Desolate Regions.

Therefore, the quality of the ingredients and food produced here was naturally outstanding. It was the first time Liang Sheng had leisurely enjoyed life since entering Immortal City.

Wasn’t pursuing an immortal life all about living such a carefree day-to-day life?

During this time, Liang Sheng would taste food and stroll around during the day, while admiring all sorts of flowers at night.

Occasionally, when he was in a good mood, he would sprinkle some fertilizer on the flowers, like the Giving Bodhisattva who completed her Qi Refinement in one fell swoop.

Although Liang Sheng was slightly intoxicated at the moment, no one minded. They were only more enthusiastic towards him, feeling as if they were the next lucky ones.

While Liang Sheng lived an unconstrained life, the members of the Church of All Beings who were monitoring “Chen Quan” were gritting their teeth in anger.

How could such a rotten person be worthy of the title Nascent Soul Master? What kind of creatures were raised under the fixed hierarchy of Immortal City?

Nevertheless, amidst their anger, they were somewhat relieved. After all, “Chen Quan,” who indulged in wine and revelry, would definitely not cause any trouble.

His debauchery was, in fact, an act of self-abandonment. It seemed that even the Left Envoy of Immortal City could not tolerate him, so he threw him down from the Upper City to spare his own eyes.

When the spies of the Church of All Beings reported “Chen Quan’s” recent actions one by one to the top, the whole church gradually calmed down.

However, they still didn’t let their guard down, as the Lower City was the foundation of the Church of All Beings. Only the hardworking cultivators knew how unfair the world was and would choose to wait with them for the dawn to arrive.

“The situation is still under control, but you must continue to monitor him, and don’t be careless. As long as Chen Quan is in the Lower City, you must keep an eye on him at all times. No matter what, he’s still a Nascent Soul Master, and if something goes wrong, our Church will surely suffer a great loss.”

“Elder, rest assured. I have already let Old Yang disguise himself as a vendor at the wonton shop outside his manor. With Old Yang’s skill, Chen Quan will definitely take the bait.

Old Yang is very careful, and there haven’t been any issues all these years. He will definitely complete the task, so you can rest assured.”

“That’s good.”

Lower City.

Outside Chen Family Manor.

At this moment, Old Yang was stirring the wontons in the pot, preventing them from sticking together. As he thought about the order given by the Elder of the Church of All Beings just yesterday, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

He didn’t know how long he would have to keep up this surveillance. Why did he have to be so good at cooking wontons? If not for that, he wouldn’t have been assigned to this mission.

Sigh, Old Yang could only console himself that his many skills were his strength, and that outstanding people would always shoulder greater responsibilities; the future was bound to be his own.

Just then, Old Yang’s hand trembled slightly, but his face remained calm, and he immediately put on an ingratiating smile.

“Chen Quan” had arrived.

Every move of Chen Quan was under the watchful gaze of the vendors and shopkeepers on this food street. It was precisely because of his presence that this gourmet street had flourished.
