It was summer.
The sun was like a big fireball hanging in the blue sky for thousands of miles. It scattered the light wantonly, making the entire South Cloud City look like a steamer, stuffy and hot.
"Alas, if I had known that a master's degree was so important, I wouldn't have devoted myself to practicing. I would have taken some time to study hard and get a better master's degree. It wouldn't have been so difficult for me to find a satisfactory job like this..."
On a small tree-lined path, he wore a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans. He wore a black jade ring on his finger. He was thin and weak, and his appearance was fair and clean. Looking at the 125 worth of hair in his hand, he scratched his head in annoyance.
Ye Shitu, 21 years old, was from Ping Yang University. Due to his poor grades in the college entrance examination, he didn't get into the university. Therefore, he gave up his second year and left his hometown like those young men who dreamed of becoming outstanding. He came to the legendary South Cloud City, which was full of gold.
After arriving at South Cloud City, Ye Shitu discovered that this place was indeed as the legends had it. It was almost covered in gold, but there was a layer of gold that was dozens of times thicker than bulletproof glass.
The only way to break the barrier and get the gold below was to use a master's degree as an ordinary person without power or connections like the pagoda.
Thinking of this, Ye Fu Tu couldn't help but think of the haughty faces of the recruitment managers in the talent market. "If you want to work in our company, you need to have a basic education at least. You've graduated from high school. Hehe, it's not impossible for you to work in our company, but I guess you can only be a cleaner or a security guard."
The corner of Ye Shitu's mouth curved into a bitter smile.
In fact, his previous grades were very good. Whether it was primary or junior high school, he was one of the best in school. However, since he got into high school, his grades had fallen drastically. It was not because he was not talented, but because one thing changed his life track.
Once, when the school organized a spring trip, Ye Shitu encountered danger in the mountains. Then, he was saved by an old Taoist priest named Xian Yunzi, who claimed to be the current leader of the Hun Yuan Sect. After saving Ye Shitu, he found that he was extremely talented in cultivation, so he pestered him and insisted on taking him as a disciple.
At first, Ye Fu Tu thought that Xian Yunzi was a liar. Later on, for the sake of Xian Yunzi's life-saving grace, he reluctantly agreed to his request. Who knew that the so-called cultivation wasn't an illusion recorded in novels, but that it truly existed in this world!
Under the guidance of Xian Yunzi, Ye Shitu stepped on the path of cultivation and became a practitioner. After that, he focused all of his attention on cultivation and gradually abandoned his studies. He allowed a genius who could easily enter a key university to become a high school graduate.
However, he didn't regret it at all.
Just like what Xian Yunzi had said, Ye Shitu was extremely talented in the path of cultivation. It had only been a few years since he had been taught by the latter. Ye Shitu's cultivation had already surpassed Xian Yunzi's and reached the middle stage of the Foundation Building Realm.
Moreover, he had mastered all kinds of Qimen Dunjia, divination skills, driving away insects and ghosts, refining herbs with talismans, and the art of subduing demons and devils. He had also mastered all of them, and he was better than them.
In the words of Xian Yunzi, the current Ye Shitu could be said to be an expert at the peak of Hua Xia. As long as he wanted power, wealth, and other things, he could easily get them.
However, Ye Shitu was still too young. Although his cultivation was strong, his mental state was definitely insufficient.
In order to prevent Ye Fu Tu from getting lost and falling into the Devil's Practice, Xian Yunzi had asked Ye Fu Tu to come out of the mountain before he died. He had come to this mortal world to travel in order to temper his mental state. Unless absolutely necessary, he absolutely could not use his Dharmic powers to earn wealth and power.
In addition, before Xian Yunzi died, he also handed the Hunyuan Ring, the master token of the Primordial Chaos Sect, to Ye Shitu, so that he could become the new master of the Primordial Chaos Sect.
The head of a sect was quite impressive, but in fact, the head of Ye Shitu was actually a commander without any disciples. According to Xian Yunzi, there were some disciples in the Primordial Chaos Sect in the past, but later, after several drastic changes in Hua Xia, the disciples of the Primordial Chaos Sect were either dead or scattered.
After a few calculations, he discovered that some of the disciples of the Hun Yuan Sect were still alive, but he couldn't find their exact location. Therefore, this time, the reason why Ye Xuan left the mountain was not only to carry out the mortal world's trial, but also to try his best to find the missing disciples of the Hun Yuan Sect.
Unknowingly, Ye Shitu walked out of the shady path and came to a bustling street. This was a famous street called "Ghost Crying and Wolf Roaring" in Tong Yuan District of Nanyun City. There were all kinds of bars and KTVs on both sides of the street.
The place where Ye Shitu lived was a residential area not far from the "Ghost Crying and Wolf Roaring Street". However, he did not return directly. Instead, he walked towards the "Ghost Crying and Wolf Roaring Street".
After walking for seven or eight minutes, Ye Shitu arrived at the entrance of a small bar called 'Ye Mei'.
Of course, Ye Shi Tu wasn't here to take a bath. Not to mention that it was already daytime, how could there be a KTV or a bar to open? He only had 125 cents left on him. He couldn't even afford to pay the rent, so how could he take a walk?
Ye Mei Bar was the landlord of Ye Shitu, whose name was Xue Meiyan, and was known as Sister Yan's woman.
Xue Meiyan was a mature and sexy beautiful woman. She was very kind. It was said that her husband used to be a soldier. Later, he died in his job because of a task. Sister Yan came here with a pension and many years of savings to open the bar.
Ye Shitu had come here because he wanted to discuss with Sister Yan whether or not he could reconcile with her once more and pay the rent in a few days.
When he thought of this, Ye Shi Tu's expression became a little awkward. F*ck, he was a middle-stage Foundation Building Realm cultivator and the current sect master of the Primordial Chaos Sect, yet he owed someone another three months' worth of rent. If word of this got out, it was likely that the ancestors of the Primordial Chaos Sect would crawl out of the Underworld in anger.
Bang bang bang!
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Just as he was about to push open the door and enter, he heard a low and deep voice from within the bar. There was a faint clamor.
Someone was making trouble at Ye Mei Bar!
With this thought in mind, Ye Shi Tu's eyes immediately narrowed slightly as a trace of frightening cold light flashed past them. When he first came to South Cloud City, he didn't have much money on hand. It was extremely difficult to find a place to stay in this place where every inch of land was made up of gold.
When Sister Yan saw his actions, she had rented a private room that could originally cost at least a thousand yuan a month. She would pay him five hundred yuan for a discount. To Ye Fu Tu, Sister Yan was his benefactor. If someone came to his benefactor's place to make trouble, he was simply courting death!
However, at the same time, Ye Fu Tu was also a bit puzzled. If one ran a bar or a KTV on 'Ghost Crying and Wolf Roaring Street', one would have someone to rely on. Without someone to rely on, it would be impossible for one to stay here for long.
At first, Sister Yan had no backer, so it was really difficult for her to do business here. Every now and then, someone would come to make trouble. However, later, Sister Yan got to know a person named Lei Bing, who was a very famous boss in this area.
It was said that Lei Bing was Sister Yan's ex-husband's comrade-in-arms, so he took good care of Sister Yan. With the protection of the Thunder Soldier, Sister Yan's life had been better since then. No one dared to make trouble again.
However, today, the troublemaker appeared again. Who was so ignorant and bold to dare to make trouble in the place of Lei Militarism?
