"Master, can you give me the wood-element crystal pill you've collected?" Shen Ruobing suddenly said to Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but be stunned.
This crystal pill was something he had snatched from Mu Yisheng at Lion's Village last time when he saved Tang Guoxing and Luo Cheng.
Cheng Xiaofan had kept this crystal pill in his spatial dimension, intending to find a suitable wood-element cultivator and then gift it to them.
For a moment, he asked Shen Ruobing in confusion, "Ruobing, can you sense that I have a wood-element cultivator's crystal pill on me?"
Shen Ruobing nodded and replied, "Master, when I approached you today, I strongly sensed it, as if that wood-element crystal pill originally belonged to me."
Hearing her words, Cheng Xiaofan was both surprised and delighted.
He thought of how Shen Ruobing, as a craftsman cultivator, dealt with wood all day long.
She was perfectly suited to make rapid progress in wood-element cultivation.
Throughout history, the Five Elements Alliance has been the most difficult to assemble. He never expected to successfully gather cultivators of the Five Elements.
Although he hadn't found a metal-element cultivator, the Golden Dragon hidden within him could be considered one.
"Ruobing, this wood-element crystal pill is for you!" Cheng Xiaofan immediately took the crystal pill from his spatial dimension and gave it to Shen Ruobing.
Shen Ruobing, as if she had obtained a peerless treasure, put the crystal pill into her mouth and swallowed it.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "After taking this crystal pill, it will not only help your craftsmanship reach new heights but also allow your hidden martial power to erupt explosively."
"However, this is not something that can be achieved in a day or two. You must cultivate diligently!"
Shen Ruobing smiled and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Master!"
In the truck driven by Luo Cheng, besides a bed, there were also a bedside table, a TV cabinet, a sofa, and stools.
Two workers had already moved all the goods into the booth at the exhibition.
Bai Yiling and Shen Ruobing would be staying at the guesthouse with Cheng Xiaofan tonight. Seeing that the sun had already set, she said to Luo Cheng, "Luo Cheng, you and the two workers will stay in this booth tonight. These furniture items are very valuable. You must guard them carefully!"
Luo Cheng chuckled, "Ms. Bai, don't worry, I'll watch over this furniture!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled slightly and said, "Luo Cheng, you don't need to worry so much. I think you and the two workers will be more comfortable sleeping in this Aoling light truck at night than in this booth."
"I will immediately set up a protective line around the furniture in the booth. If someone truly tries to sneak in and cause trouble at night and you see them, pretend you didn't. The troublemakers will definitely be severely punished!"
Lu Xiaofei had suffered a big loss in front of Shen Ruobing and Bai Yiling this time, and he would definitely not let it go.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan had a strong premonition that the Daoist Hong, whom Lu Xiaofei had mentioned, would arrive tonight.
Moreover, tonight, there was a possibility that someone would attempt to sabotage Shen Ruobing's furniture.
"Xiaofan, do you anticipate someone coming to cause trouble?" Bai Yiling detected an unusual aura from Cheng Xiaofan's words.
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and smiled, "Yes, Lu Xiaofei has an expert behind him. I estimate he will arrive here tonight."
Shen Ruobing asked, "Is that expert the Daoist Hong that Lu Xiaofei mentioned?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "That's right, it's him. This person should have some skill, but with me here, no matter how great his abilities are, he won't be able to stir up any trouble!"
As he spoke, he walked into the booth and, around the furniture, extended a finger and drew streaks of patterns in the air.
These patterns, imbued with the Great Dao, possessed a certain offensive capability. They were hidden in the air around the furniture, invisible to anyone.
Anyone who rashly trespassed would undoubtedly be attacked.
After drawing the patterns, Cheng Xiaofan walked out and smiled at Luo Cheng again, "Luo Cheng, you and the two workers will stay in the truck tonight. Without my permission, do not rashly enter the booth, understand?"
Luo Cheng smiled, "Brother Cheng, don't worry, you don't need to say it twice. Neither I nor the two workers will enter this booth."
Cheng Xiaofan said, "It's getting late. You and those two workers should come with us to the guesthouse ahead to eat!"
Luo Cheng replied, "We brought food with us when we came. Besides, there are many small food stalls around here, so it's convenient to eat whatever we want. We won't go!"
Cheng Xiaofan knew they wouldn't easily leave the exhibition area. Hearing him say that, he couldn't force them further.
"Then we'll be going. See you tomorrow!" Cheng Xiaofan waved goodbye to Luo Cheng and the two workers, and then walked towards the guesthouse with Bai Yiling and Shen Ruobing.
Just as Cheng Xiaofan had predicted!
As he, Bai Yiling, and Shen Ruobing arrived at the guesthouse, the Daoist Hong mentioned by Lu Xiaofei also arrived in the provincial capital.
At this very moment!
In the Hongyun Grand Hotel in the provincial capital, Lu Xiaofei, accompanied by four bodyguards, was in a private room, toasting and chatting merrily with Daoist Hong.
The four bodyguards, as well as Lu Xiaofei, whose face was bruised like a pig's head, acted as if nothing had happened, appearing spirited.
Daoist Hong had a thin, monkey-like build, a face shaped like an inverted triangle, and eight-shaped eyebrows with triangular eyes, giving him an inherently sinister appearance.
However, his triangular eyes occasionally flashed with sharp glints, giving the impression of a meticulous and insidious individual.
Daoist Hong picked up a piece of Dongpo pork, put it in his mouth, and chewed continuously. Grease dripped from the corners of his mouth, and a piece of meat rolled back and forth in his cheeks.
He narrowed his eyes, stared at the tall bodyguard, and asked with a smile, "Does it still hurt down there?"
The tall bodyguard immediately put on a fawning smile and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore, not at all. Master Hong's pills are too effective. One pill made me feel like a normal person!"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Hong smiled triumphantly and said, "I am originally a master alchemist. Of course, you won't hurt after taking my pill."
"The only regret is that your two testicles were crushed. Even if a Great Luo Immortal descended, he couldn't heal them."
"You, my boy, will never have children for the rest of your life."
The tall bodyguard's face turned ashen upon hearing this, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "I never expected Bai Yiling to be so vicious. I wish I could kill her immediately!"
"Not only do you want to kill her, but I do too!"
Thinking of how Bai Yiling had slapped his face repeatedly in front of so many people, Lu Xiaofei was enraged. "I will absolutely not let her off this time. I will first fry her, then kill her!"
Daoist Hong heard this and laughed heartily, "Xiaofei, I know what's on your mind. As long as I, Daoist Hong, am here, even if you want to marry those two women, it will be a trivial matter!"
Lu Xiaofei was excited upon hearing this, "Daoist Hong, are you telling the truth?"
Daoist Hong stroked his goatee and smiled, "Your father and I have been old friends for many years. Coupled with my profound and miraculous Daoist arts, would I lie to you, a junior?"
