“Old Huang, let’s go.”

“Yes, Master.”

At this moment, Huang Yifan was dwelling within a puppet. On the surface, he looked ordinary, like any other typical cultivator.

Nobody knew that his battle strength was on par with the Late Nascent Soul Realm. Although it consumed a fair amount of spirit stones, maintaining such combat capability for a day would probably cost at least one top-grade spirit stone.

This was equivalent to the consumption of ten thousand low-grade spirit stones. Even a common Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator may not be able to accumulate ten thousand low-grade spirit stones in a lifetime.

After all, how many spirit stones could a regular cultivator save up when they are cultivating daily?

However, if Huang Yifan did not engage in combat, he wouldn’t consume even a single mid-grade spirit stone. It was simply the most cost-effective trade-off.

Ten days had passed since Liang Sheng turned Huang Yifan into a puppet. By now, Huang Yifan had taken complete control of his puppet body.

During these ten days, Liang Sheng still went out to have fun, while Huang Yifan stayed at home to adapt to controlling the puppet body, until there was no gap left.

Thereafter, whenever Liang Sheng went out, he was accompanied by an old servant. His acquaintances found this surprising at first, but they didn’t take it too seriously.

After all, having a servant was quite normal for high-level cultivators, as long as they hadn’t been forcibly bought or sold. Nobody would say anything.

Sometimes, low-level cultivators deem it a blessing to follow a powerful figure. While ordinary cultivators couldn’t see through Huang Yifan’s puppet body, they remained cautious around him.

Who would dare to underestimate Huang Yifan, who stood by Liang Sheng’s side? Wasn’t it like having a high-ranking officer at the prime minister’s doorstep?

After having wontons, Liang Sheng brought Huang Yifan to other places for fun. As for the night, naturally, they would go to the Yaoxiang Pavilion, though Huang Yifan would wait outside.

Huang Yifan’s puppet body looked no different from any cultivator, because Liang Sheng’s puppetry technique had reached perfection. How could it otherwise deceive other cultivators?

However, even so, Huang Yifan didn’t dare act recklessly. It wasn’t that he couldn’t use it, but rather, he simply had no interest.

Such matters often erode a cultivator’s aspiration. As for why his master behaved this way, Huang Yifan had an answer in his heart. His master was certainly immersed in worldly fetters to refine his heart, for surely he couldn’t be the same as those mediocre people?

In the days that followed, Liang Sheng’s life remained leisurely and contented. Seeing that his master appreciated gastronomy, Huang Yifan also started studying gourmet food.

Since Liang Sheng had brought him home as a servant, it was naturally his responsibility to take care of his master. Besides, Liang Sheng also gave him a share of spirit stones, making it even easier for him to use ingredients and study cooking.

Time always flies in peaceful daily life. Over these ten years, news of breakthroughs had often arisen in Immortal City.

Be it Foundation Establishment Stage or Golden Core Realm cultivators, the number compared to the past was more like a surge. This led the Immortal City cultivators to naturally assume that the difficulty the Lower City cultivators faced in breaking through in the past was not due to limited talent, but insufficient resources.

And when this situation occurred among the original inhabitants of the Lower City, they felt grateful towards the Church of All Beings. After all, due to the Church’s rebellion, the Upper and Lower City could finally merge, and spiritual energy could be evenly distributed.

Furthermore, now that Immortal City no longer had the overt exploitation of the past, it was easier for ordinary cultivators to gather cultivation resources. As a result, the number of breakthroughs to the Foundation Establishment Stage over the past ten years was naturally much higher than before.

Most people were jubilant about this state of affairs. However, Liang Sheng noticed the underlying drawbacks hidden within it.

But now, everyone was immersed in joy. Who could notice? Furthermore, this current surge in breakthroughs would continue for a while.

Only when there are more and more cultivators breaking through to the next stage and the number accumulates to a certain extent will problems arise.

Now it depends on whether the Church of All Beings is aware of the current situation. After all, although Foundation Establishment Pills and Golden Yuan Pills are still relatively plentiful in the market, the overall quantity is steadily decreasing.

Once a day comes when countless low-level cultivators face breakthroughs but cannot access elixirs, will the original beneficiaries, like the Church of All Beings, remain as magnanimous as they are now?

The outcome is uncertain. However, Liang Sheng didn’t see that happening. He could only say that the original beneficiaries of Immortal City didn’t choose to openly resist. Instead, they were subtly laying out their plan throughout Immortal City.

However, Liang Sheng didn’t care about this at all. After all, he had no stumbling blocks in his path of cultivation as far as the way of the world was concerned.

As long as time passed and he didn’t provoke any cause and effect, he could naturally break through while remaining unharmed. Why would he need to muddy the waters?

As for Huang Yifan, he was already satisfied just being by his master’s side now. Moreover, with no hope for cultivation, he spent every day trying to figure out how to make his master more comfortable.

As for the Zhou family, there weren’t any significant changes after Huang Yifan’s demise. They were still cautious in their actions.

Zhou Ye was still managing the grocery store, and at the same time, the Zhou family was also farming the spiritual field. Everything was flourishing.

City Master Zhen Yuan was still trapped in the Immortal Dynasty’s Spiritual Vein legacies. Liang Sheng had tried numerous times in secret to find City Master Zhen Yuan’s Mustard Seed Sumi technique to no avail.

Without the Mustard Seed Sumi method, Liang Sheng could only patronisingly gaze at the entrance to the Immortal Dynasty’s Spiritual Veins in the backyard of the City Lord Mansion.

Though, it was probably for the best. If he managed to enter the Immortal Dynasty’s Spiritual Veins and disturbed the balance of Xu Jintian’s enchantment, freeing City Master Zhen Yuan, it would not bode well..
