‘Master Chu, you didn’t pay the bill after dinner last time. Do you plan on paying now or later?” Man Gu asked before leaving.

Lu Yang quickly stopped Man Gu, “Hold your tongue! We are on the Demon Path, it’s only natural for us to dine and dash. Do you think Master Chu is the type of person to pay for his meal like some kind of saint?”

Meng Jingzhou also chimed in, “Exactly. Master Chu only said he would treat us to dinner, not that he would pay. How can you not tell the difference?”

Master Chu: “…”

He had to admit that when it came to ribbing others, these three were unmatched.

Suppressing the urge to murder them, he threw a gold ingot at Man Gu, “Keep the change and get lost!”

A confused look fell upon Man Gu’s face. He was simply asking for money, but there was something off about Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou’s tone. It seemed like they were speaking up for him, but also on Master Chu’s side.

By the time the trio left, it was deep into the night. Lu Yang gazed at the magnificent starry sky above and pondered.

“Who would ‘ve expected all the stars in the sky to be fake? I certainly didn’t see this coming.”

Meng Jingzhou rubbed his head, “I don’t see why it’s so surprising. Since I was a child, my grandpa would always tell me that if I wanted something, he would get it for me. Even the stars in the sky. When I was seven or eight, I pointed to one star and said, ‘I want that one.'”

“My grandpa went off into space, and when he returned, he handed me a speck of light the size of a fingernail, saying it was a star. Coincidentally, there was one star less in the sky.”

I told my grandpa that stars should be really big, even bigger than our house, not so small. But he just smiled mysteriously and told me that stars are really this small.”

“What happened then?” Lu Yang asked with curious interest.

“What happened next? Well, people from the Ministry of Punishments came. They were high-ranking officers who accused my grandpa of stealing natural resources. They asked him to return the star, and he did. Then a star reappeared in the vacant spot in the night sky.”

“I remember something was off back then, but I couldn’t figure out what. I forgot about it over time, and it wasn’t until today that I realized what I held in my hand back then really was a star.”

“It’s truly befitting of the Meng family. Your experiences from childhood are undoubtedly different from ours.” Lu Yang shook his head, thinking about what he was doing when he was a child.

He remembered. When he was a child, he was reminiscing about crossing into another world and studying ancient poetry like “High up on a hundred-foot tower, one can pluck the stars in the sky. But one dares not speak loudly for fear of frightening the people in the sky.”

When he was a kid, he could only pluck stars from poetry, while Meng Jingzhou could really pluck stars. That was the difference.

Recently, Lu Yang had even considered writing a novel to make some money, something like “The Wandering Earth”. But if he based it on this world, it wouldn’t be a planet engine pushing the Earth, but a Great Power cultivator doing the pushing.

The trio stopped pondering over stars and continents. These things were too far beyond their reach. With their cultivation level, they couldn’t even move a large rock, let alone the stars.

Let s rest early. Tomorrow, we will visit our imprisoned sect brothers.”

Yawning, all three knew that they could substitute sleep with meditation once they reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. The effect was the same, but they preferred sleeping.

Meditation? They would worry about that when they reached the Golden Core Stage.

Early in the morning, Lu Yang sought out Guard Captain Wei. After explaining his intention, Captain Wei happily issued a pass for Lu Yang to visit the jail.

As soon as he entered the jail, Lu Yang felt as if his spiritual essence was imprisoned. He couldn’t mobilize any of it, and his body became sluggish.

“Is this the Forbidden Spirit Array that Wei mentioned?” Lu Yang was amazed. He didn’t expect the Forbidden Spirit Array to be as formidable as Wei had described.

When Captain Wei gave Lu Yang the pass, he had mentioned to be aware of the jail’s Forbidden Spirit Array, which was specifically designed against cultivators. Inside this array, a cultivator’s cultivation level would be restricted and they would not be able to use any magic skill. This was to prevent cultivators from breaking out or escaping prison.

The Forbidden Spirit Array in the jail was of a high caliber. Even Golden Core Stage cultivators would be restricted, no exceptions.

Lu Yang timed his visit perfectly with the shift change of the jail guards.

The day shift jail guard was yawning so hard that tears came out of his eyes. He was in a daze, looking as if he had just woken up.

The night shift jail guard was about to go off duty, and was in a good mood. He joked, “Old Zhou, aren’t you usually the most energetic? Why are you so drowsy today? Did you do something naughty last night that made you lose sleep?” Old Zhou yawned greatly, “I don’t know what’s going on lately, but I’ve been unable to wake up. My wife is the same. When I came to work, I even washed my face, but I’m still tired.”

The night shift jail guard laughed, “You must’ve done something last night and lost sleep. Look at me, I’m not tired at all.”

Old Zhou snorted, “You’re a cultivator, not like us ordinary folks.”

The night shift guard shrugged, unimpressed, “I’m only at the Qi Refinement first level. It’s uncertain whether I will ever be able to reach the second level in this lifetime. What kind of cultivator does that make me?”

According to the jail rules, the day shift jail guards were ordinary people, while the night shift guards were cultivators at Qi Refinement first level. The cultivators at Qi Refinement first level could ensure that they weren’t drowsy or negligent during their shift.

Cultivators disliked being suppressed by the Forbidden Spirit Array and treated like ordinary people, but the jail couldn’t be guarded by just a first level Qi Refinement jail guard. Hence, expert cultivators were arranged to guard outside the jail.

After the shift change, Lu Yang took his pass to Old Zhou.

Old Zhou took a look at Lu Yang, did a body search, and let him in when he found nothing more than a lunch box.

Chi Xulong was a well-known figure among the scattered cultivators of the Demon Path. He believed he could achieve great things and establish his own territory after joining the demonic sect.

Now, being trapped in jail couldn’t dampen his aspirations.

Since he was in jail, he would become the top dog! The first obstacle in his way was his inability to intimidate others.

He was locked in a cage that even Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators couldn’t break, and without a weapon in hand. The person locked in the cell next to him kept either insulting or mocking him, much to Chi Xulong’s annoyance.

At this time, his cellmate Shen Jinyi came up with a solution. He put pebbles in his mouth and spat them out, making the pebbles fly out like bullets with a terrifying force. You could imagine what would happen if they hit someone.

As an assassin, Shen Jinyi was good at using various objects as hidden weapons.

We re partners in adversity. We need to cooperate sincerely and overcome this together!” Shen Jinyi said nobly, “Onceyou learn this skill, you’ll be invincible in this prison, and we can rule it together!”

Chi Xulong was greatly inspired and began training to launch pebbles as hidden weapons from his mouth day and night.

Unfortunately, Chi Xulong was not talented enough. Despite his brute force, he couldn’t get a grasp of the skill.

“You have to do it like this. Hold your breath in your mouth and spit out the pebble quickly!” Shen Jinyi was demonstrating and patiently teaching Chi Xulong.

“I know, isn’t it just spitting it out like this?” Chi Xulong said impatiently.

“No, no, you’re only puckering your mouth a little. Do it like this,”

“Like this?”

Standing outside the cell, Lu Yang observed Chi Xulong and Shen Jinyi as they puckered their mouths at each other. He wondered whether he should remind them that their actions might be misunderstood by others.

But first, he decided to record this with the Recording Orb.
