After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 182 Zhang Chi’S Thousand Layer Routine

Chapter 182: Zhang Chi's Layered Strategy

Red Carp Monster King quickly arranged all the necessary affairs.

Compared to the strict hierarchy and clear structure of the human race, the organization structure of the Monster Race is relatively loose, and they have fewer scheming minds.

Unlike the leaders of the human race, who may worry about their subordinates conspiring or fighting among themselves when they go out, the Monster Race usually doesn't have to worry too much.

Conspiracy is impossible. Now, the Water Monster Race is united and working together to find something that can help Red Carp Monster King break through to the Monster Sovereign realm.

Only with the birth of a new Monster Sovereign can the Water Monster Race become great again.

It is precisely because of this assurance that Red Carp Monster King can boldly do what she wants to do.

However, she is more scheming. Although it is clearly for revenge, she claims to be searching for the attack route to capture the Pill Cauldron Sect.

The Water Monster Race certainly has plans for the Pill Cauldron Sect. The downstream four sects cannot satisfy the Water Monster Race's appetite.

The spiritual energy of the Coiling Dragon River becomes thinner from upstream to downstream.

How could the Water Monster Race be content to only live downstream?

It is not possible to seize the entire middle section, but seizing a part of it should be no problem, right?

Therefore, Red Carp Monster King's excuse is reasonable and can gain the trust of her fellow clan members.

Red Carp Monster King set off. She jumped into the Dragon River and displayed her innate Divine Ability, "Leisurely Journey."

Innate Divine Ability refers to a Divine Ability that one possesses without cultivation. For example, Wenren Li's ability to devour ghost creatures and utilize their power is an innate Divine Ability.

Only a few creatures with innate talent can possess an innate Divine Ability, and those who have this kind of ability will find it easier to break through to the Divine Ability Realm and are less likely to die prematurely.

What others can only obtain after reaching the Divine Ability Realm, some people are born with. These individuals are destined to be extraordinary and have stronger self-preservation abilities, making it difficult for them to die prematurely.

Red Carp Monster King's innate Divine Ability, "Leisurely Journey," is a water-based Divine Ability. Once she jumps into the water and transforms into a large red carp, as long as she chooses a direction, the water flow will carry her to her destination.

During the duration of the Divine Ability, she is just an ordinary carp and will not be discovered or hindered by others. She completely merges with the water.

Unless there is a specific Divine Ability targeting her, she can roam freely once she enters the water.

Waterways are interconnected throughout the world, including rivers and lakes on the surface as well as many underground currents.

When Red Carp Monster King uses "Leisurely Journey," she can travel unimpeded throughout the world.

This Divine Ability doesn't have strong offensive capabilities, but it has extremely strong survival abilities.

With Red Carp Monster King's current strength, she is confident that even if she encounters a Dao Integration expert, as long as the opponent doesn't have a targeted Divine Ability, she can escape.

By using "Leisurely Journey," Red Carp Monster King could have ignored the formation of the Pill Cauldron Sect. However, this time she came to explore, so she deliberately chose to bypass the Dragon River.

It's like navigating around a blocked road. "Leisurely Journey" will help her find alternative routes.

While Red Carp Monster King was searching for a route in the water, Zhang Chi also spent five peaceful days.

Chen Runyu and Tang Ruoling have not come out yet, and although the others can be ignored, the atmosphere of Sword Sect's cultivation is still strong.

Even Elder Chongling is diligently practicing.

Only Long Yan, this love-struck fool, spends every day pondering whether she likes Zhang Chi or not, and her thoughts are not focused on cultivation.

But it's not entirely her fault. She has already reached the peak of the Divine Soul realm but has not touched the threshold of the Divine Ability Realm.

To comprehend Divine Ability from Divine Soul requires a combination of opportunity, intelligence, and temperament. One cannot be lacking.

Long Yi let Long Yan go out for training in order to temper her temperament and help her achieve Divine Ability as soon as possible.

Without her own comprehension, she cannot overcome the hurdle of Divine Ability.

So, Long Yan's daily contemplation of whether Zhang Chi likes her or not is purely idle.

And she has different answers to these two questions.

As she ponders every day, she becomes more and more convinced that she likes Zhang Chi, but also increasingly doubts whether Zhang Chi likes her.

Sometimes denying, sometimes affirming.

In the past few days, Long Yan's mood has been like this, sometimes melancholic, sometimes joyful, as if she has split personality.

Zhang Chi has also silently noticed, but he hasn't tried to explain to her because he is the one who caused all of this.

"Is she your next target?" Gu Youyou seemed a little unhappy. Zhang Chi is actively trying to make a girl fall for him, besides Jiang Qingyun, this is the first one.

Tang Ruoling and Chen Runyu can't really be considered because Zhang Chi didn't flirt with them, they fell for him on their own.

Upon hearing Gu Youyou's question, Zhang Chi didn't stop his brush in hand, dipped it in cinnabar, and smoothly drew a yellow talisman before saying, "The difficulty is too low, I haven't gained any happiness from it."

Zhang Chi prefers to pursue people with higher difficulty levels.

Melting those icy beauties into gentle wives step by step, that feeling is quite nice.

Perhaps, this is Zhang Chi's unique XP system.

At first, Long Yan could be considered a proud and aloof beauty, but she is just too naive and kind-hearted.

Zhang Chi casually made a move, and she fell into his trap. Naturally, Zhang Chi didn't feel much accomplishment.

Unlike Jiang Qingyun, who is a jaded person, self-exiled and self-sealed. But with Zhang Chi's efforts, day after day, knocking on the door of her heart, he finally pried it open and forcefully occupied her heart.

This kind of long-term cultivation and then reaping happiness is not something that Long Yan, who is given everything, can provide.

Of course, being given everything also has its benefits. Since she's already in the bowl, Zhang Chi won't throw her out. It can be seen as adding some variety to the monotonous cultivation life.

"Alright, I've accumulated another thousand talismans, I can go sell them now."

Based on the price of five talismans for one spiritual stone, these thousand talismans can be sold for two hundred spiritual stones.

The number of disciples in the sect is less than one hundred, and each person can receive two spirit stones.

It can be said that Zhang Chi can support the entire Sword Sect solely by drawing talismans.

Although the income is not high, at least there is some.

Gu Youyou: "I draw talismans for you every night, but you never mention it!"

"Expand your horizons a bit, and you can consider it as practicing talisman techniques and strengthening your Divine Soul."

Drawing talismans may seem difficult for Zhang Chi, but it is actually just refining his Divine Soul. These talismans are just by-products.

It's useless to keep too many of them. Selling them can earn money and also gain a good reputation, maintaining the economy of the Sword Sect.

It's a win-win situation, so why not?

Of course, Gu Youyou also works hard. About seventy percent of these talismans are drawn by Gu Youyou.

With these talismans in hand, Zhang Chi went to find Long Yan. The Sword Sect on Little Warehouse Mountain is much smaller than the original Sword Sect, so there is no need to fly with a sword. It only takes a few steps to get there.

It wasn't Long Yan's teaching time, so Zhang Chi went directly to find her.

Long Yan had taken on this task before. She went out once, and the talismans given to her by Zhang Chi were sold out, and then she brought back some materials.

This happened every time, and how could Zhang Chi not know.

The so-called sold out actually means that Long Yan used her own money to buy them and then stored the talismans in her storage ring.

It can be said that on the surface, Zhang Chi sells talismans to make a living, but in reality, it is Long Yan subsidizing the Sword Sect.

This is what a rich woman does.

In fact, Zhang Chi had guessed this young lady's plan the first time, but he didn't expose it. He just thanked Long Yan normally and handed over the talismans to her every time he finished drawing them.

When Zhang Chi came to find Long Yan, she happened to be tearing flower petals to verify if Zhang Chi liked her.

It can be said that after several consecutive days, she became a little crazy.

"Sister Long."

Hearing Zhang Chi's call, Long Yan was startled and dropped the flowers in her hand.

"Uh, why are you here?"

"I have finished drawing a thousand talismans again, so I trouble Sister Long to go to the city."

"You draw so many talismans every day, won't it affect your cultivation?"

Long Yan looked at Zhang Chi with some concern. She knew that the Sword Sect had few resources left, and relying solely on Zhang Chi's efforts was too hard.

And...

After selling talismans to Zhang Chi a few times, she almost spent all her pocket money. If she wanted more money, she had to go to Dragon City to withdraw it.

She was also a well-known figure in Dragon City. If her father found out that she was using money to support the Sword Sect, she was afraid that her father would look down on Zhang Chi.

Clearly, Zhang Chi is a very hardworking person. He has put in a lot of effort to inherit his master's will and take care of his junior brothers and sisters. He shouldn't be ridiculed by others.

So... it's better for Zhang Chi to draw fewer talismans, and she will find another way to earn money!

Each sect has bounty missions, and so does the Dragon River Alliance.

With her late-stage Divine Soul strength, she can solve most problems, and she can earn more spirit stones in one go than Zhang Chi.

When Zhang Chi heard Long Yan's concern, he just smiled slightly and said, "It's fine. Maybe I have some talent in talisman dao, so I can draw talismans faster."

"Alright then, give me the talismans."

"No need, this time I want to go with Sister."

"Huh? Why do you want to go with me?"

"Sister's talismans are always sold out. I want to learn from Sister and teach it to my junior brothers and sisters in the future, so Sister doesn't have to work so hard."

"Uh, I'm not working hard. Your cultivation is the most important thing. It's better if you don't go!"

Long Yan started to panic.

She didn't know how to do business. All these talismans were bought by herself, of course, they could be sold out.

If Zhang Chi followed her, wouldn't this secret be exposed?

Not good!

Zhang Chi had already seen through Long Yan's mindset, but he did it on purpose.

He didn't expose it before, and he let Long Yan come a few more times just for this moment.

Love, it's about you being good to me, and I know you're good to me, and then I'm good to you. This accumulation of mutual affection will naturally grow stronger and stronger.

Every time you make sacrifices for each other, it's an accumulation of feelings.

With more accumulation, this feeling will become as heavy as a mountain, making it difficult for people to easily let go.

This trick is tried and true.

Of course, this trick is afraid of one-sided sacrifice without getting any feedback.

It's commonly known as "I'm good to you, and you think it's only natural."

This often leads to the opposite result, and eventually, there will be a situation where gratitude turns into resentment.

Zhang Chi is very good at handling people's hearts, so he won't let Long Yan keep sacrificing. He needs to let her sacrifice for a while and see the return before she will increase her efforts.

Under Zhang Chi's insistence, Long Yan had no choice but to control the Cotton Cloud and take Zhang Chi to Raging Flame City. She was already thinking about how to appear experienced later.

While the two were on their way, in an inconspicuous well in Raging Flame City, a Hong Li fish jumped out...

Hmm, today I was trapped in the elevator for an hour while taking out the trash. What bad luck.
