624 Opening Ceremony (2/2)

He always knew who he could make his move on and who he could not. In particular, after he witnessed several of his companions unluckily provoke a cultivator, who broke all their limbs on the spot and even took away half of their intelligence that they became drolling idiots. He became even more cautious with his work, preferring to harvest less. Being scolded by the black boss was better than being refined into a magical tool. Life was better than death.

However, in the past two days, the atmosphere in Plentiful City greatly changed. A large number of people poured in. The clear and in good order situation of the past was no longer there. When Shu Si saw an opportunity, he boldly made his move and made quite a bit of gain.

Especially this day where the gate of the group of immortal tombs was fully opened. In such a crowded situation, the law monitoring array was overloaded and failed. In order to maintain some basic order, the city launched the forbidden array, restricting the cultivators from using their skills at will. Thus, these little punks were even more out of control, doing things inside the city regardless of the law and of natural morality.

Like the two Xudan Stage cultivators just now. In terms of strength, they could crush one hundred Shu Si with one finger at will. But now, they could only be stuck in the crowd, and their mustard seed bag was stolen by an ant-like petty thief.

”Shu Si, what about the harvest?”

At this time, Shu Si was hiding in the corner, weighing the mustard seed bag. Upon listening to the voice of his companion, he turned his head and saw that it was indeed his gang of scoundrels. Elated, the teenager lifted the front of his long skirt and showed the elaborately tied ten brocade purses.

His companion sucked in a mouthful of cold air. ”Ooh, you got the nerve! These things belong to those cultivators, aren't you afraid that they would track you down and hook your soul?”

Shu Si smiled and asked, ”Who wants to find a cultivator that could hook people's soul? I especially looked for fools. Don't think that those high and mighty cultivators are so great, a lot of them are actually fools. Many cultivate until they turn silly, they don't even have the awareness to do some precaution. If you hide well, you will be fine.”

His companion was envious. ”I'm not as brave as you… but this is cultivator's stuff, you can't open it, so what's the use?”

”Although I can't, somebody else can. Do you forget there's a dead face in the western part of the city? He accepts stuff of cultivators. Moreover, if you give cultivator's stuff to him, it would have nothing to do with you, no one would ever come to find you.”

”But the dead face went through the gate.”

Shu Si was immediately dumbfounded. ”What? He entered the big stone gate?”

The so-called big stone gate naturally referred to the gate of the group of immortal tombs. Usually, this gate was opened only to cultivators who were authorized by the Management Committee. As for ordinary people in Plentiful City, although they could see the towering magnificent gate, they never had the chance to go in and see what was inside.

”A lot of people have gone through the big stone gate these days. In addition to the dead face, there are also the old black clothing and peach blossom wife.”

Shu Si was even more dumbfounded. ”Uh, how did all the people who could accept the harvest all go?” But then, the teenager rolled his eyes and decided. ”That's right, I will go too!”

”You want to go too?” His companion was stunned. ”What are you going to do there? Boss said no one is allowed to enter, you better not cause trouble to everyone.”

Shu Si spat out, ”That useless loser, don't listen to his farts! He said not to implicate everyone? Then why wasn't he afraid to implicate others previously when I got my hands on spirit stones and looked for the dead face to exchange it with money? I have to go. I heard that there are many immortals behind that big stone gate. If any of them find me pleasing to their eyes, even if they don't accept me as their disciple, they would, at the very least, bestow me with two immortality pills, and I don't need to be a gangster anymore.”

”You're dreaming!”

”Humph, you didn't listen to an expert who spoke in a teahouse a few days ago. What is the difference between a person and a salted fish if he doesn't have a dream?”

”Salted fish can be eaten, could a person be eaten?”

Shu Si narrowed his eyes but didn't speak. The taste of human flesh was actually not new to him.

After a while, he said with a smile, ”In short, I have decided that I have to go. If you follow me, when the time comes, we would become immortals together. But even if you don't follow me, when I become an immortal, I would not forget about you.”

His companion knew that his mind was set, so he stopped persuading him. ”Fine, I wish you good luck then.”

—

Relying on his nimbleness, Shu Si made his way through the crowded road and finally arrived in front of the gate of the group of immortal tombs in the evening.

This gate, which had been continuously expanded, was several miles wide and had a towering height. It was like a mouth of an ancient huge beast, constantly devouring thousands of creatures.

In front of the gate, Shu Si swallowed his saliva and walked into it.

Behind the gate was a brand new world.
