"It's almost done, just give this kid some time to breathe."

The resident monks in Lidong City stopped beating the three arrogant guys until they were unconscious.

Just looking down on fellow Taoist Li is enough to make people angry, and he also belittles the entire monks in Lidong City.

Looking at the clothes of these three people, they don't belong to any sect or family that cultivates immortality. Who can resist being beaten? The saint has to kick before leaving.

After the monks dealt with the three idiots, they all gathered around Shen Xisheng and began to get close:

"I wonder where Daoyou Li is going when he goes out today?"

Why does Shen Xisheng not understand what everyone is saying? Beating people is just to help him vent his anger. It is normal to want to build a relationship.

So he followed everyone's wishes and answered:

"Isn't the reconstruction of the City Lord's Mansion completed? I just want to visit City Lord Lidong to discuss some alchemy matters."

He emphasized the word "alchemy" a little more strongly, and as expected, the people around him said curiously:

"Is Fellow Daoist Li actually good at alchemy?"

"When I placed the order, I knew that Senior Li had an extraordinary ability to observe people's fortunes. I didn't expect that Senior Li had a hidden skill."

And the message that Shen Xisheng wanted to hear also sounded:

"I wonder what kind of difficulties fellow Taoist Li has encountered in refining alchemy? He is too old and incompetent to be a beginner in alchemy. Maybe he can help fellow Taoist Li."

The person who spoke was an old man who looked almost as old as Shen Xisheng after his disguise. He relied on his expertise to calmly come to Shen Xisheng and get close to him.

Shen Xisheng smiled slightly and informed the other party of some of his situation:

"It's not that big of a deal, but I came to Lidong City this time for a casual tour and didn't bring an alchemy furnace with me.

This time Li Dongcheng was attacked by demonic cultivators, and I also suffered the loss of not having supplies, so I became ill as a result.

A few days ago, the city lord sent me some healing elixirs. I suddenly realized that I shouldn’t have fallen behind on the alchemy path, so I decided to ask the city lord if there was any way to get the elixir furnace and some elixir recipes.”

Shen Xisheng's words have revealed the information very clearly:

I know how to make elixirs, but now I don’t have an elixir furnace, and I want to learn some elixir recipes.

Naturally, the alchemist didn't understand the meaning, so he handed a wooden sign around his waist to Shen Xisheng and said:

"Then I hope fellow Taoist can get the alchemy furnace and prescription from the city lord. If the city lord is in short supply, fellow daoist can come to Lao Cai's place.

Not to mention that it will definitely satisfy fellow Taoists, but at least it can meet the current needs of fellow Taoists."

Shen Xisheng took the wooden sign, and the current address of the alchemist was clearly written on it.

So he nodded to the old man who made alchemy and said:

"Then thank you fellow Taoist in advance!"

Seeing that his goal of establishing a relationship with Shen Xisheng had been achieved, the old alchemist left after being polite to Shen Xisheng.

The other monks watched the old alchemist leave with satisfaction, and couldn't help cursing why they didn't have the talent for alchemy, so they were the first to gain the upper hand for others.

Shen Xisheng just observed everyone's expressions silently, with a faint smile still on his face.

Yes, the backup plan has been prepared, and there is no need to use even Su Xuan’s connections. My alchemy plan is basically unimpeded.

He now has multiple identities, and any one of them cannot be easily touched by ordinary people. Many people asked for favors, but his network of contacts was suddenly expanded.

After that, he has to stay in other towns. It will be much easier for Shen Xisheng to use the vest of "Li Feiyu".

This is what is called maintaining a good account.

The rest of the journey was smooth, and I didn’t see any unsighted guy coming to stir up trouble.

I think so. After all, the person who stirs up trouble should first consider the monks following Shen Xisheng. If he feels that he can pick a group of people, he can come over.

Shen Xisheng arrived in front of the rebuilt city lord's mansion.

I have to say that the civil engineering friends are quite capable. They completed the construction of Ruoda's City Lord's Mansion in just a few days. It looks no different from before except that it is newer.

Even the guards are new.

"How dare you, what do you want to do?"

Naturally, this newly appointed guard had never met Shen Xisheng in person. When he saw Shen Xisheng heading straight to the city lord's palace with a large group of monks, he almost peed.

He had heard that Li Dongcheng was being reorganized and that working as a guard at the city lord's mansion would be a good job, so he came here specifically through connections.

No one told him that there are people here who dare to gather people to make trouble in the city lord's mansion in broad daylight. Is this how the retired friend was sent away?

Just when the guard was still thinking about what kind of fierce battle would happen here, he heard Shen Xisheng politely say:

"Fellow Taoist, please inform the city lord that Li Feiyu wants to see you."

Huh?!

The guard was stunned for a moment. It turned out that these people were not looking for trouble. They were scared to death.

Wait, the name Li Feiyu seems familiar... Isn't that the distinguished guest whom the city lord specially greeted?

The guard who had just been relieved immediately became worried again. Just now he actually dared to question other people's intentions.

If you offend the other party, your new job will be over!

The guard bowed to Shen Xisheng tremblingly, then forcibly overcame his stuttering and said carefully:

"It turns out to be Senior Li. The city lord has already said hello in advance. You can just go in."

Then with trembling hands, he pointed out the route for Shen Xisheng in detail, for fear that he would not entertain him well.

Shen Xisheng looked at the brother who was shaking violently in front of him and felt a little strange. He didn't see any disease at all. Why did he look like he was having a seizure?

However, he still patted the other person's shoulder and thanked him:

"Thank you fellow Taoist for showing me the way."

As a result, he was slapped and kneeled down...

The already nervous guard was slapped by Shen Xisheng and fell to his knees like a frightened bird, begging for mercy:

"Senior, I have offended you before, please don't remember the faults of others!"

Shen Xisheng:???

Why is it inexplicable? Brother, you have so many dramas, why don't you join a theater troupe and work as a security guard? I'm wronging you.

But when Shen Xisheng looked around and saw everyone's eyes eager to understand his every move, he realized that he still underestimated his influence.

Now, in Lidong City, he has reached a position that makes others ponder over and over again with every move he makes.

Even if they don't care much about some things, those with lower status think a lot in their minds.

This has caused some unnecessary trouble for myself. It seems that I will have to pay attention to my words and deeds in the future.

Shen Xisheng silently helped the guard up, and without saying anything else, he stepped directly into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Chapter completed!
