Chu Shen looked at Qian Buo Duo's excited expression as he left, and asked Yu Si Dao with some confusion, "Is my charisma really that strong?"

Yu Si Dao looked at Qian Buo Duo, who was leaving, with some envy and said, "The price offered by Young Master Chu is enough to make me excited, let alone the fact that you are a guarantee of credibility. You have contributed greatly to the stability of Nanping City. Everyone should praise you."

Chu Shen looked up at the sky and said, "I never thought that one day I would be burdened by my reputation."

Yu Si Dao said, "Don't pretend! You can't fool me!"

After that, the two of them continued to stroll around.

Chu Shen also changed his mindset. There wasn't much that interested him in this market for independent cultivators, but there were still many talented individuals among them.

Sure enough, he found some professionals, some skilled in cultivation, some in animal care, some with good medical skills, and some with strong sales abilities...

Although they couldn't compare to professionals from major sects, they still had some skills that could be put to use.

After all, professionals from major sects might not accept the invitation from the Chu family, right?

Chu Shen, who had come here, was not stingy with his goodwill. After observing for a while and feeling that their character was acceptable, he would extend an invitation to them to visit the Tai Ping Sect.

Most of these people would undergo a period of assessment in the Tai Ping Sect. If they passed, he wouldn't mind gradually integrating them into the Chu family system.

The invited independent cultivators also valued this opportunity. They performed well in the first round, and even when Chu Shen left the Lantern Grass Market, no one forgot themselves and started boasting. They kept their mouths shut.

"Young Master Chu, forgive me for speaking frankly. If you need talents, whether it's my Tai Ping Sect, Yang Yuan Sect, or Yunshan Sword Sect, we are all willing to provide them. Why recruit those independent cultivators?" Yu Si Dao asked on the way back to Nanping City, puzzled by Chu Shen's thoughts. It was normal for him not to understand.

Chu Shen just said politely, "It wouldn't be right to always rely on the manpower of the three major sects."

Yu Sidao shook his head repeatedly, saying, "How could that be? Tai Ping Sect is your own people. Yang Yuan Sect and Yunshan Sword Sect probably wish they could be tied to you. Why deliberately keep a distance?"

Chu Shen smiled and said, "What's theirs is theirs, and what's mine is mine. There are ultimately differences between us. I don't always want to take advantage of others."

Yu Sidao sighed and said, "Clearly, everyone has benefited from you!"

This statement is not entirely wrong. Before Chu Shen arrived, the group of landlords in Nanping City were still struggling to make a living.

Chu Shen just smiled and didn't answer, listening to Jin Sidao rambling on about the changes in Nanping City and his own contributions.

To be honest, he was quite happy to listen.

Just when they were less than twenty miles away from Nanping City, the two of them passed through a dense forest and suddenly stopped their horses, looking around.

"Who's there? Why not come out for a chat and make some money?" Yu Sidao stood in front of Chu Shen.

The surrounding trees were still, and there was no response.

Chu Shen secretly attached the Golden Light Spell to himself and took out an explosive talisman, carefully observing the surroundings.

Yu Sidao, who was also an experienced person, had already taken precautions. Seeing no one answering, he repeated his words.

"Chu Gongzi, the other party doesn't even want to talk. The one who comes is not good."

The two horses were stimulated by the atmosphere around them, anxiously stomping on the ground and spinning in place.

Chu Shen sneered, "If the other party has set up a formation, how could they be willing to talk? Be careful, they might use their methods soon."

While speaking, he quietly attached a Golden Light Spell talisman to Yu Sidao as well.

Yu Sidao gratefully nodded at him and drew his sword from his waist, saying, "They actually set up a formation? I didn't even notice."

"It's not an extraordinary formation, just a distorted formation that affects the six senses of people in the formation."

Yusi Dao sighed inwardly. When he first met Chu Shen, the latter was still a novice in cultivation. Now, Chu Shen knows more than him. Indeed, having a sect to rely on makes one stronger than a lone cultivator.

Suddenly, the ground not far from them sank, and several figures flew out, throwing hidden weapons towards them.

As the two of them raised their swords to deflect the hidden weapons, several figures also flew down from the trees behind them, and a fishing net-like object was thrown towards them.

"It's a magic weapon, be careful!" Yusi Dao swung his sword, but it didn't cut through. His face changed drastically.

"A mere trick, dare to show off?" Chu Shen snorted coldly, already wielding his famous sword embryo. Although it hasn't been refined yet, the future sharpness of the famous sword is not something a crude fishing net-like magic weapon can withstand. It was immediately cut into pieces.

"Crafty move!"

One of the attackers exclaimed, and the person who had thrown the hidden weapons immediately took out crossbow arrows and shot them towards the two of them.

A golden light shone on Chu Shen and Yusi Dao, like a cocoon of light, deflecting the crossbow arrows.

"Golden Light Talisman!"

The voices of the attackers changed.

Although the Golden Light Talisman is a relatively common defensive talisman, its functionality is comprehensive and its production difficulty is relatively high. It has always been priced high in the talisman market, and usually only sect disciples carry it during their training.

"Things are getting tense!"

They wanted to escape at that moment.

Chu Shen snorted coldly, "If you come as a guest, don't leave so soon!"

Explosive talismans flew out one after another, and amidst the explosions, screams continued. The attackers were either dead or injured, the formation was shattered, and Yusi Dao was left dumbfounded by the explosions.

What is called "firepower coverage"? This is it.

"The explosive talisman is very expensive," Yu Si reminded, swallowing saliva.

Chu Shen waved his hand, "As long as it kills people, it doesn't matter."

Yu Si said, "Well, you have money, so you have the final say."

Chu Shen uncovered the attackers' face masks, but frowned.

They were all unfamiliar people.

"Could it be that they were just simply trying to rob us?" Yu Si felt that his own explanation was not convincing.

Chu Shen pointed at one of the attackers who had two legs blown off but was still alive with a sword embryo, "Who are you? Why did you intercept us?"

The attacker only howled in pain and did not answer.

Chu Shen's eyes turned cold, without wasting words, he directly sent him on his way and repeated the question to another injured attacker.

After killing three survivors like this, only one was left. The opponent was even more ruthless, biting his own tongue and committing suicide!

Yu Si was stunned by this scene, "These... these people are not afraid of death at all?"

But Chu Shen's gaze became even colder, "Each one of them is at least at the sixth level of Qi Refining, reaching the peak of mortal martial strength. They are equipped with standardized and unified magical weapons, and they choose to die resolutely after failure... These people are organized death warriors!"

The question is, who would send death warriors to deal with Yu Si? It can only be targeted at him!

Yu Si also understood this point and looked at Chu Shen, wanting to say something but hesitating...
