After notifying the matter, the monks of the Bamboo Leaf Gang left quickly.
But the scene is still full of discussions.
One month's rent can be waived if you catch an undercover agent from Black Iron Villa, and even two month's rent would be waived if you catch someone in the late stage of Qi refining.
This reward is simply exaggeratedly rich.
You know, this is the core area, and the monthly rent is as high as a middle-grade spirit stone.
The Bamboo Leaf Gang has spent a lot of money this time.
Many monks were eager to try, and began to think about how to catch the undercover agent of the Black Iron Villa.
Some monks who are more sensitive have already begun to observe everyone around them, trying to recall whether these people have behaved suspiciously before.
What's more, many monks have a bad idea in their heart and they started to stare at the people who usually have bad conduct.
Thinking that no matter whether these people are the undercover agents of the Black Iron Villa or not, they should be turned into undercover agents, and then they will be eliminated, and the Bamboo Leaf Gang will give them the reward.
Compared to these excited monks.
At this time, Ren An still felt worried and uneasy.
The Bamboo Leaf Gang suddenly spent so much money to clean up the undercover agents, which made him smell a hint that the war between the two gangs was about to start.
The current behavior of the Bamboo Leaf Gang gives people a feeling that they are first settling down the trouble inside their Gang and then they are getting ready to fight against the outside world.
Besides Ren An, many monks in Green Willow Lane also realized this.
A handsome male cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining, deliberately walked up to Ava Zen and stopped, smiled and said:
"Friend Ava, I feel that the bamboo leaf forest may be in chaos in the next period of time. It's not safe for a beauty like you to live alone. How about I move into your house to protect you."
"Heh, you deserve it too?" Ava Zen sneered contemptuously and said, "Just a weak chicken with only the seventh level of Qi Refining, I alone can crush you to death with one finger, where do you have the face to say you want to protect me?"
The male cultivator thought that Ava Zen was a person who judges people based on their looks, so he wanted to rely on his outstanding appearance to get close to her, but he didn't expect to be rejected so hard by Ava Zen in public. He immediately felt ashamed and left in despair.
Ava didn't even look at the male cultivator, but she turned to Song Huaying and Su Chen , and said with a smile:
"Sister Ying'er, sister Su, there may be chaos in the next few days, why don't the two younger sisters move in with your older sister, your older sister is much better than your husband and can protect you better."
Ren An and Su Chen made so much noise every night that Ava Zen, who lived next door, often had trouble falling asleep listening to it.
Therefore, she is now trying to abduct Ren An's wife and concubine, and solve this problem from the source.
Unfortunately, Song Huaying and Su Chen's loyalty to Ren An was far beyond her imagination.
Seeing that the two women didn't even think about it, both of them directly declined and said: "Ying'er thinks that the husband will definitely protect Ying'er from harm, so I don't need to bother Sister Ava for it. Thank you Sister Ava for your kindness."
"I also think the same."Said Su Chen
Ren An felt extremely comfortable listening to them, thinking that he did not love his precious wife and concubine in vain.
Seeing that the two girls didn't think so, Ava Zen didn't force them, and left soon.
After Ava Zen left.
Ren An asked the wife and concubine to stay at home, while he went out to the market to buy some self-defense items.
Bamboo Leaf Forest might get messy next time.
As the head of the family, he must take precautions at this time.And he should prepare various self-defense items in advance.
…
Core area, Market.
Ren An walked into a shop, went straight to the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have anything that can be used for self-defense?"
"Something for self-defense?" The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "A talisman should be good for you."
Talisman, this is a kind of magical item made on talisman paper and it is made by a talisman maker.
There are various spells engraved on the talisman paper.
As long as the user injects spiritual power into the talisman paper, the spell written on it can be released.
"I don't know what talismans are for sale here?"
"There are all kinds of talismans, such as fireball talismans, amulets, lightning talismans, etc. Anyway, I sell them all here, even if I don't have them now, I can transfer them to you by the end of the day."
"Give me a few copies of this, this, and this kind of talisman."
After a brief understanding, Ren An bought a few talismans of each kind.
Among them, amulets are the most bought.
Because the wife and concubine in the family have no ability to protect themselves, they have to rely on external protection.
In addition to the talisman paper, Ren An also bought a formation.
Before use, you can record the breath of different people into the formation.
When using it later, once an unregistered stranger's breath enters the formation, the formation will flash various dazzling lights to remind the owner of the house that strangers are invading.
Ren An spent nearly one middle-grade spirit stone in total.
He walked out of the shop.
And then he didn't stay long in the market.
Ren An quickly returned to his house.
After handing over the bought amulets to his wife and concubine, he turned around and walked into the alchemy room, where he began to refine various poisons, which would be used to arrange various poison traps around the courtyard.
He didn't know if these poisonous traps, which were tried and tested in the cheap area at the beginning, would still work in the core area where there were many monks in the middle stage of Qi refining, and even the monks in late stage of Qi refining are everywhere.
But no matter how you see it, it's better to arrange it than not arranging it.
At least it can make yourself feel a little more secure.
After setting up the poison trap for more than two hours, Ren An turned around and went back into the alchemy room.
But instead of going in to make elixirs, he has to dig tunnels in the alchemy room.
Because he thought that when disaster struck, he and his wife and concubine might be stuck in the house and unable to escape.
If there is an underground passage leading to the outside of the house, then the space that he can operate in will be much larger, and the safety of the house will be greatly improved.
Buying Talismans, check.
Refining poisons and setting traps, check.
Digging tunnels, check.
When Ren An finished these steps in turn, the sky outside had completely darkened.
…
In a blink of an eye, several days passed.
These days, the situation in the Bamboo Leaf Forest was just as Ren An had imagined, and it became quite chaotic.
One of the undercover agents of Black Iron Mountain Villa was discovered. Before he died, he struggled crazily and caused panic and destruction everywhere.
Wherever he went, the houses collapsed and corpses were everywhere.
Monks with high cultivation level earned a lot of money.
As for the monks with low cultivation bases, many of them suffered indiscriminate disasters, and their deaths were unknown.
Ren An knew his cultivation well.
Since the elder of the Bamboo Leaf Gang came over that day and said he wanted to clean up the undercover agents, he has been staying at home with his wife and concubine.
He was worried about himself as with a low cultivation base, if he goes out and wanders around, he can easily die on the road.
During this period, Ava Zen, who used to come over almost every day, never came to the house as a guest again, and he didn't know what she was up to.
Another few days passed.
On this day, Ren An was teaching his wife and concubine some basic knowledge about alchemy in the alchemy room, and he wanted to train them to be his future alchemy assistants.
While teaching them, he suddenly felt that his body became a little hot.
It seems that the realm of cultivation is about to be broken through.
Ren An immediately asked the wife and concubine to go out, and he locked himself in the alchemy room to make a breakthrough.
Two days later.
Ren An succeeded in breaking through and became a monk at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
[Name: Ren An]
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 5]
[Alchemy: First-level Intermediate (458/500)]
[Spiritual Consciousness: Level 1 Intermediate (258/500)]
[Gold Finger: Proficient (196/500)]
[Spouse: Song Huaying, Su Chen ]
[Offspring: Pregnant (September)]
Ren An looked at the panel in front of him, with a gratified smile on his face.
Compared to a year ago, the change is really comparable to heaven and an earth now.
His strength is much stronger than last year.
According to this speed, it feels like the foundation will be successfully built within twenty years.
Ideally, this goal may be achieved within ten years.
Even within five years, it is not impossible.
And all of this depends on whether he can become a Taoist couple with Ava Zen.
Ren An's intuition told him that the reward for having sex with Ava Zen must be related to improving his cultivation.
"By the way, when Ying'er was pregnant, the system rewarded me with an elixir formula for lust breaking elixir."
"I don't know if there will be rewards when the child is born next month."
Ren An was looking forward to it.
…
At the same time.
In a house in the core area.
Several monks who have reached the late stage of Qi Refining are sitting and drinking with sad faces.
"Recently, the people of the Bamboo Leaf Gang are investigating more and more carefully. We can't get out, and it's only a matter of time before we are exposed."
"Sigh, the leader of the Bamboo Leaf Gang is too ruthless. In order to catch us undercover agents, he didn't hesitate to offer a huge reward."
"Damn it, we're going to die anyway, so it's better to fight them to the death. We're going to die, and the Bamboo Leaf Gang better not think about getting away with it without any harm either!"
"Junior Brother Mu is right."
"Senior Brother Hang, what do you think?"
"What else can we do about it, we can only use our lives to bring more people to be buried with us."
"Does Brother Hang have a plan?"
"There is no need for a plan, we just need to pick auxiliary occupations to kill, such as alchemists, talisman makers, weapon refiners, etc. These auxiliary occupations are very useful to the Bamboo Leaf Gang, but their own strength is weak, killing them can get twice the result with half the effort."
"Senior brother Hang is brilliant!"
"Senior Brother Hang, I heard that there is a female cultivator named Ava in Green Willow Lane.
"Junior Brother Lin is right."
"That's how it is, we brothers and sisters will go and get the female cultivator surnamed Ava in Green Willow Lane first, and then go to assassinate those auxiliary professionals."
After making this decision, several people immediately started to prepare a plan, planning to taste Ava Zen, a high-atitude flower that has been guarded for many years, tonight.
