Pill Maniac had invested all his resources in honing his alchemy skills and had nothing valuable apart from his exceptional skills. Liang Sheng's identity really had nothing else to it.
Since that was the case, it was hardly worth the effort to offend the Hua Tian Sect and do such a thing right under their watch while stationed at the market, let alone risk their wrath.
Cultivators are indeed a greedy lot, willing to take risks, but they must be sure their gains are worth it. Evidently, the identity of Chen Sheng doesn't fall into this category.
With that in mind, Liang Sheng eased his worries and quickly walked several hundred miles outside the market before turning ten or so directions and stealthily returned to the Spiritual Field Cave Mansion.
That night, Liang Sheng invited Huang Yifan and his brothers to drink wine. The three of them were overwhelmed by the favor, unaware that Liang Sheng was bidding farewell to "Chen Sheng" at that moment.
