Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

"I am just a passerby," Luo Yao said to the shopkeeper, his tone casual.

Then, he reached out with his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat, putting it into his mouth.

At this moment, in a corner near the counter,

A figure stood there, watching Luo Yao, and murmured softly, "This kid... is no ordinary person."

"He even managed to effortlessly slay the Silver-Armored General and the esteemed guest from the Feng Family."

Thinking so, a hint of cold light flickered in the figure's eyes.

This kid... cannot be left alone!

At the counter,

The shopkeeper seemed to have recalled something as he looked at Luo Yao and asked in a low voice, "By the way, young man."

"May I know what brings you to our Bi Wan City?"

"Or are you just passing through?"

Luo Yao paused for a moment while picking up his greens, then answered the shopkeeper indifferently, "I am here to fulfill the tasks assigned by my family elders."

"The tasks assigned by family elders?" The shopkeeper was taken aback.

"That's right," Luo Yao said, looking at the shopkeeper, "As for what those tasks are, you needn't concern yourself with them."

"Yes, yes," the shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.

Of course, he dared not inquire further.

After all, this man had just entered Bi Wan City and had already slain both the Silver-Armored General and Feng Family's esteemed guest.

Such a powerful character was not someone he, a mere shopkeeper, dared to pry into.

...

After eating and drinking to his satisfaction,

Luo Yao once again returned to the City Lord's Mansion of Bi Wan City.

Now, thanks to the Shadow Guards' cleaning efforts,

The numerous dead bodies and bloodstains scattered everywhere

Had all but vanished.

And those originally in the City Lord's Mansion, one dressed in black and the other in white, were now standing at the entrance,

Apparently waiting for Luo Yao.

After all, they were about to pledge their allegiance to him.

There were formalities to observe.

"Young Master Luo, here are the tax records of Bi Wan City for the past several years."

"Also, here is the census of the city's population."

"You might want to take a look..."

Luo Yao looked at the two in front of him and said indifferently, "The two of you can stay by my side."

"As for the others in the City Lord's Mansion, let them leave on their own."

"Yes," they looked at each other and responded respectfully.

They then went straight into the City Lord's Mansion.

Meanwhile, on a street outside the City Lord's Mansion,

A figure stood there, looking towards the Mansion and speaking softly, "It seems that Luo Yao has accepted the two's allegiance."

"Is that so?" His eyes also gleamed with a cold light.

It seems Luo Yao is truly no ordinary person.

With that thought, he turned and left.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion,

The man in black and white had returned.

Other residents of the Mansion had already left one after another.

After all, the original City Lord of Bi Wan City had perished.

There was no longer any point for them to stay.

So they, too, had left.

At this time, inside the main hall,

Luo Yao sat at the head of the table,

While the men in black and white stood inside the hall, stating respectfully, "Young Master Luo, nearly everyone else has left the City Lord's Mansion."

"Everyone has left?" inquired Luo Yao, his voice neutral.

"Yes," the two bowed their heads slightly, "They have all left."

"Since that's the case," Luo Yao addressed the two Shadow Guards in front of him, "then let us recruit some more people later. Although Bi Wan City is quite poor, certain basic functions of the city must continue."

"Yes," they looked at each other and said respectfully.

Subsequently, Luo Yao stood up and walked outside.

In the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion,

Luo Yao strolled along, admiring the flowers.

The back garden of Bi Wan City's City Lord's Mansion was indeed attractive,

With a great variety of flowers blooming in competition.

And in the middle of these flowers was a small lake,

Topped with some lotus leaves, and in the center was a small pavilion.

At this moment, inside that pavilion,

A figure stood quietly, gazing at the lake and murmuring softly, "Who would have thought that Bi Wan City would hide such a scene."

And now, within the Mansion,

As Luo Yao walked towards the garden, he seemed to notice something amiss.

His brows furrowed slightly as he looked at the expanse before him.

It appeared something was missing from this garden.

With that thought, he headed towards the outside of the garden.

Upon reaching the edge, he realized that indeed, something was missing.

Among the various flowers, there was one particular flower absent.

That flower was known as the "Blood Lotus."

If his memory served him right, the middle-aged men in black and white had mentioned that within this garden of the City Lord's Mansion there was a rare Spiritual Medicine called the Blood Lotus.

This medicine was exceptionally rare.

"Blood Lotus?" Luo Yao muttered under his breath.

He then headed straight out of the City Lord's Mansion.
