Chapter 132 Lovers
Outside the store, the ground was covered in blood.
Inside the shop, however, there was a peaceful and serene atmosphere, with a faint medicinal fragrance floating in the air.
Hearing it seemed to clear one's mind instantly.
"Senior Sister Bai, it's been a long time."
Upon entering the shop, Luo Qingchen greeted the aloof woman behind the counter.
Bai Tang kept her head down, carefully wiping the flowers on the table. Upon hearing this, she didn't look up, but said calmly, "Long time no see."
After exchanging greetings, both sides fell silent.
After a moment, Luo Qingchen asked, "If I hadn't returned today, would Senior Sister have saved Chen Ya?"
Bai Tang carefully wiped the flowers for a while longer before replying, "No."
Luo Qingchen's gaze fell on the petals in front of her, where the black stains were gradually fading. She uttered an "Oh," and said nothing more.
Bai Tang didn't say anything more and continued to wipe the surface carefully.
Luo Qingchen remained silent for a while, and seeing that the two had nothing more to say, she could only say, "Senior Sister Bai, then you go ahead with your work, I'll be going now."
He walked out of the shop.
At this moment, Bai Tang suddenly spoke up again: "There are rumors outside that I'm your lover. Can you explain that?"
Luo Qingchen paused, turned around, and said, "I didn't say that."
Bai Tang looked at him and said, "There are rumors that Chen Ya and A Yao are women you keep, and that every time you come over, the four of us sleep together. Do we even have a bed that big?"
Luo Qingchen's lips twitched slightly, and she said, "Senior sister, there's no need to pay attention to these rumors."
Bai Tang said, "I didn't care. But in that case, your life or death is related to our safety. Just like today, they all thought you were dead, which is why they came to cause trouble. If one day you really die, you've killed so many people and have so many enemies, then the three of us will also be implicated."
Luo Qingchen was silent for a moment, then looked at her and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, from today onwards, I won't come here anymore. I'll find a female disciple up there and visit her often."
Bai Tang said, "You misunderstood me. What I meant was that I hope you can live well so that you can protect them."
He then asked, "Which female disciple up there offended you that you treated her like this?"
Luo Qingchen said, "I just want to find someone randomly—"
He didn't say anything more, but cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the counter and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will handle this matter, and it shouldn't happen again."
After saying that, he took his leave.
"Owner----"
When Ayao saw that he was leaving as soon as he arrived, she immediately became sad.
The two hadn't seen each other for several months.
Chen Ya also opened her mouth, wanting to persuade her to stay.
Luo Qingchen didn't even glance at the two of them, walking right past them and quickly disappearing into the street outside.
"He won't be coming back."
Inside the counter, Bai Tang looked at the flowers in her hand and said softly.
Ayao burst into tears.
Chen Ya stood blankly outside the door, watching the street where the figure disappeared, her expression gradually changing.
"It's okay, I can go up—"
"I'm about to break through to the Blood Transformation Realm—I can go up there, and then, become a bad woman—"

"In that case, he'll probably want me, right?"
She murmured to herself.
Half an hour later.
Luo Qingchen returned to the main peak.
He first went to that Senior Sister Xiong's general store.
The three of them were quite poor, with only 1200 taels of silver in total.
Besides daily necessities and three copies of the Hehuan Peak Hehuan Kung Fu manual, there were no other valuables in the storage bag.
Fortunately, the storage bag can still be sold for three hundred taels of silver.
"Junior Brother Luo, what's wrong with you—"
When he took out three more storage bags and placed them on the counter, Xiong Hong's eyes widened immediately: "In just a short while, you've killed three more people?"
Luo Qingchen said, "I found it."
Xiong Hong's lips twitched a few times. She checked the three storage bags, gave him three hundred taels of silver, and looked at him strangely.
Luo Qingchen took his leave and returned to the office.
Upon seeing him, Yang Jiujiang quickly asked, "Where did you run off to? Did you go off to kill someone again?"
'
Luo Qingchen didn't hide anything: "I just went to Medicine Man Town. Three disciples there tried to steal my medicine man and even beat me up. When I got there, they deliberately insulted me, calling me Junior Brother Luo. So—"
Yang Jiujiang was immediately dumbfounded: "So—you've killed three more people?"
Luo Qingchen said, "It wasn't a massacre; it was killed with fists and knives."
Yang Jiujiang's face twitched violently as he glared and said, "The 'pit' I'm talking about is a person who swindles others, not a pit! You brat—hey—"
He immediately called out to the other disciples queuing outside the window, "We're closing soon, come back tomorrow!"
Having said that, he immediately got up, packed his things, and left the stone house, saying, "Let's go, I'll personally escort you, you jinx, back to Black Phoenix Peak! If you continue to slaughter us, my outer sect might face a shortage of capable leaders!"
Luo Qingchen obediently followed behind.
Behind me, I heard the whispers of the disciples in line.
After crossing the stone bridge and arriving at Black Phoenix Peak, Yang Jiujiang finally spoke, "Do you know why you're the only outer sect core disciple without a master?"
Luo Qingchen asked, "Why?"
Yang Jiujiang gave him a complicated look and said, "The person I told you about before who came from Yaoren Town was a disciple of your Black Phoenix Peak. Back then, your Black Phoenix Peak wasn't called Black Phoenix Peak yet. The peak master at that time was his master, and also my master. His talent back then wasn't much inferior to yours. My master was delighted to see him and immediately took him in as his personal disciple. But then—"
"Therefore, if you continue to stay on Black Phoenix Peak, I think no one will dare to be your master."
"You should know in your heart how many people you have killed during this period, including deacons and stewards."
"Now that you've broken through to the Strength Realm, you should have gone from being a core outer disciple to one of the elders here, or even the peak master's personal disciple. But now, that's probably impossible."
Luo Qingchen didn't care about these things, but simply asked, "Will there be a shortage of cultivation resources?"
Yang Jiujiang said, "Most cultivation resources won't be too scarce. However, you might not have access to some resources that require each disciple's master to personally fight for. Also, there are some tasks issued by the sect that your master won't be there to help you find a reason to refuse."
Luo Qingchen asked, "What about the cultivation technique and the ingredients for the medicinal bath?"
Yang Jiujiang said, "Don't worry about these things, they'll all be there. When you get back to your cave, they'll probably already be inside."
Luo Qingchen nodded and didn't say anything more.
For him, these things are enough.
As for other cultivation resources and personal guidance from the Master, so be it if we don't have them.
His gilded blood is enough.
"Since you don't have a master to guide you right now, you can only maintain good relationships with your five senior brothers and sisters. If you have any questions, you can ask them."
Yang Jiujiang reminded him.
The two walked along the winding mountain path, heading upwards, and soon arrived at the summit.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, one could have looked down and surveyed all the mountains below, but the area was shrouded in black mist and dark forests, so only a few white paths could be vaguely seen.
Moreover, this is not the actual summit.
Above their heads, high in the sky, stood towering buildings of the inner gate, hidden in swirling black mist.
This is just the summit of the outer gate.
"Cave number six, that's perfect, you're ranked sixth among the Qi Realm disciples of Black Phoenix Peak."
Yang Jiujiang pointed to a cave dwelling perched on a cliff in front of him.
"There's a training ground and a management office to the south. If you need anything, go to the management office and find Manager Zhou. Remember, you can't kill Manager Zhou. He's an inner disciple. When he was young, he killed at least a thousand demons outside the Black Prison Great Wall and saved many inner disciples. If you kill him, you'll probably die a horrible death."
Yang Jiujiang gave him some more instructions, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Cultivate diligently. It doesn't matter if you don't have a master's guidance. You got to where you are today on your own. I hope that you can also climb into the inner sect on your own. I believe you have the ability."
After saying that, he turned and went down the mountain.
Only when his figure disappeared around the corner at the foot of the mountain did Luo Qingchen turn around and walk towards Cave No. 6.
From this day forward, he will be the sixth disciple of Black Phoenix Peak to reach the Strength Realm.
He raised his head and looked up at the gray sky above.
There, in the dark clouds, even higher peaks awaited him.
Only by breaking through to the next realm can he ascend and begin cultivating soul techniques.
Only then can I see my sister.
Therefore, he must continue to work hard!
"Junior Brother Luo, your senior sister has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Just as he was about to enter the cave, a delicate female voice suddenly came from the path beside him.
