Market.
At this time, Liang Sheng didn’t care about the thoughts of the Three Sects and Six Orders, because he had already made calculations for this situation.
Why else would he choose to have a cultivation base at the Qi Cultivation Fivefold, with extremely poor talent for cultivation but with extremely high alchemy skills?
He wanted this effect.
If under these circumstances, someone still targeted him, then he was sorry, they could only say they brought death upon themselves, and he could only send them to paradise.
The most fundamental reason for Liang Sheng’s plan was his own strength – in the market, if there were no Golden Core, he would be invincible!
Regardless of whether the opponent was in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage or Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, as long as they were still in the Foundation Establishment Realm, with his well-prepared defenses, the opponent would not be able to instantly kill him.
So, as long as he was not instantly killed, he could use the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique.
Afterwards, Liang Sheng’s life once again became peaceful. He occasionally refined pills and went to the market daily to build relationships with alchemists. Every one or two months, he would return to the spiritual field.
During this time, the spiritual field was taken care of very well by Huang Yifan and his brothers. Liang Sheng, of course, was not stingy. He brought them many High-Quality Qi Cultivation Pills every time he went.
Now, Huang Yifan and his brothers treated Liang Sheng with sincere and earnest intentions, giving him their true submission. They didn’t care about serving a master as long as he was willing to keep giving them High-Quality Qi Cultivation Pills; they would even willingly act as a dog.
With Huang Yifan and his brothers being so opportunistic, Liang Sheng naturally had a peace of mind. Afterward, his life became more and more peaceful, spending his leisure time communicating about alchemy with other alchemists in the market. Unconsciously, another year passed.

His cultivation level barely moved, but Liang Sheng was not anxious. After all, the spiritual grass for refining True Yuan Pills had not yet matured. Once they were refined, his cultivation speed would naturally accelerate.
Instead, he was considering the pill formula for the Golden Yuan Pill. He didn’t know when he would be able to obtain the formula, so he could prepare for breaking through to the Golden Core realm.
However, as long as his plans went smoothly, obtaining the formula for the Golden Yuan Pill would just be a matter of time, so he was not in a hurry.
As long as he stayed in the market after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, almost no dangers would pose a threat to him. Since he was guaranteed safety, he was willing to wait.
For Liang Sheng, lifespan was not his limitation; he was calmer than anyone else. Unknowingly, another year passed, and Liang Sheng’s reputation grew. As long as he set up a stall, his elixirs would be sold out in a short time.
Even high-level cultivators in the Seventh Level of Qi Refining and above had smiling faces when facing Liang Sheng. As for cultivating families looking to establish relationships, they were extremely passionate.
Of course, there were some cultivation families that secretly tried to win over Liang Sheng, but what could these families offer him? The final result was, of course, rejection.
However, things were a bit different today.
The people from the Pei family had arrived.
It was Pei Shiping’s cultivation family. Of course, it was the current Patriarch of the Pei family who came to recruit Liang Sheng, not Pei Shiping himself.
After the success of his Foundation Establishment, Pei Shiping had already stepped down from the position of Patriarch, focusing on becoming the mastermind behind the Pei family.
It could be said that in this Cultivation World Market, the Pei family had become the most top-level cultivation family, the most powerful among the Three Sects and Six Orders.
However, Patriarch Pei Shiliang did not appear arrogant. Instead, he was humbled and polite, showing great sincerity towards Liang Sheng.
“Daoist Chen, I’ve long heard of your great reputation, and I only met you today. It’s such a shame that we haven’t met earlier.”
Liang Sheng was somewhat surprised by Pei Shiliang’s arrival, but he didn’t show any special emotions, maintaining his composure.
Pei Shiliang also noticed that Liang Sheng’s attitude was not very enthusiastic and couldn’t help but feel disheartened, as the prospect of recruiting this alchemist seemed unlikely.
The Pei family had become the top-ranked loose cultivator family in the market due to Pei Shiping’s advancement into the Foundation Establishment Stage, but their foundation was too weak.
He genuinely craved an alchemist like Liang Sheng to anchor the family. After all, a flourishing family required fresh blood.
Therefore, despite Liang Sheng’s not-so-enthusiastic attitude, Pei Shiliang remained smiling at his side, not leaving until Qin Chen came to find Liang Sheng, displaying politeness.
Liang Sheng also heaved a sigh of relief. If it weren’t for maintaining his identity, he would have wanted to leave with a wave of his sleeves just now. But a Qi Cultivation Fivefold alchemist couldn’t have acted in that manner.
“Daoist Chen, did the Pei family also want to recruit you?”
Liang Sheng naturally didn’t hide this and nodded lightly. Qin Chen couldn’t help but sneer, full of disdain.
“Daoist Chen, don’t let your head be filled with hot air and agree to them. Otherwise, you’ll be bothered by trivial matters.”
Alchemists like Qin Chen naturally received invitations from loose cultivators’ families as well. However, how could they lose their intellect to join them?
It was so much better for an alchemist to be free. If they really wanted to join a power, it would be better to become an outer disciple of the Three Sects and Six Orders.
“Forget about it, Daoist Chen. As long as you remember not to bother with them, it will be fine. As alchemists, we just need to remain neutral, not venture out, and stay in the market.”
Let’s go, let’s go. Yesterday, you raised three essential elements of alchemy, which were concise and to the point, but we still didn’t understand some parts.
Everyone studied overnight until now, and the more they studied, the more they felt it made sense.. They’re getting anxious, so let’s go there now?”
