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

"These guys sure are persistent..." Luo Yao thought to himself.

He glanced at Liu Muyan beside him and noticed that she seemed oblivious to the members of the Shadow Tower.

"I really wonder what the Shadow Tower is up to," Luo Yao thought with a cold smile on his lips, "They have been tracking me and this woman but never make an actual move."

"It's quite puzzling..."

Luo Yao and Liu Muyan strolled through Nanfang City for a while before arriving at the city's market.

The market in Nanfang City was bustling, filled with shops and street vendors, cries of hawkers and haggling voices rising and falling, an extraordinary hubbub.

Luo Yao and Liu Muyan walked around the market, their gazes surveying the surroundings.

A glint of curiosity sparkled in Liu Muyan's eyes as she beheld the bustling market and laughed, "This market in Nanfang City is even busier than some smaller cities."

"After all, Nanfang City counts as a medium-sized city, so it is naturally out of the ordinary," Luo Yao said with a smile to Liu Muyan, "If you are interested in these shops and vendors, feel free to take a look around."

"Okay," Liu Muyan chuckled and nodded.

Then, she wandered around the market on her own while Luo Yao sat down in a nearby tea house, sipping tea and looking around.

The market in Nanfang City was filled with an array of shops and street vendors.

From Elixirs, weapons, Spirit Grass, Magic Artifacts, Spirit Beast Eggs to various peculiar items, it had everything one might need.

Liu Muyan strolled through the market, her gaze occasionally falling on some of the vendors.

She was extremely interested in these items, stopping frequently to look.

During this process, Liu Muyan also noticed the members of the Shadow Tower.

She remained calm, only a trace of a cold smile played on her lips.

The members of the Shadow Tower had been following her and Luo Yao all along but had yet to take any action.

Liu Muyan knew that these people from Shadow Tower were trying to figure out her background.

"However, they're probably going to be disappointed," she thought to herself with a confident look on her face.

She looked up at the tea house where Luo Yao was, only to find that he was no longer there.

"Has he left?"

While she was pondering this, she realized that the members of the Shadow Tower had disappeared as well.

"Just as I thought..."

Liu Muyan let out a cold laugh, glanced up at the sky, and then turned to leave.

...

At the same moment, Luo Yao had left the tea house.

He was walking along a small alley in the market, his gaze looking around.

"It seems like members of the Shadow Tower have noticed my whereabouts."

"I'll have to think of a way to shake them off," Luo Yao thought.

As he was contemplating, a figure rushed toward him from the entrance of the alley.

It was a young and beautiful woman, with a stunning figure.

Panic was evident on her face as she cried out, "Help!"

"What happened?" Luo Yao asked, looking at the woman.

"There's someone chasing me to kill me!" she said, her face showing terror, "Please save me!"

"Being hunted?" Luo Yao paused, a cold smile appearing on his lips, "Hide yourself first."

Then, Luo Yao turned and headed toward the entrance of the alley.

As soon as he stepped out of the alley, he bumped into several members of the Shadow Tower.

The members showed a look of surprise on their faces, evidently not expecting to encounter Luo Yao in this situation.

"Are you looking for someone?" Luo Yao asked them with a smile, "But I would rather not be disturbed."

As his voice dropped, Luo Yao's figure disappeared from sight.

The members were stunned for a moment before they started looking around for Luo Yao.

At this very moment, Luo Yao had already returned to the market where he had split up with Liu Muyan earlier.

He looked at the lively market, a cold smile on his lips, "It seems I've been handed an opportunity..."

...

Luo Yao wandered around the market for a while before leaving.

He went to a secluded area in Nanfang City, where there was a dilapidated thatched house.

Luo Yao pushed the door and entered, his eyes sweeping over the humble furnishings, a cold smile on his lips, "Quite rudimentary indeed..."

After a short while, a figure appeared in the house.

It was Liu Muyan.

"How come you are here?"

Liu Muyan looked at Luo Yao, a surprised expression on her face.

"I have been here all along," Luo Yao said with a smile, "it's you who have been trailed all the time."

Liu Muyan paused and then said to Luo Yao, "You noticed them early on?"

"The people from the Shadow Tower might have concealed their presence, but with my Perception, it's not difficult to notice their whereabouts," Luo Yao said, a cold smile on his lips, "I've been wondering, what exactly are you after?"

Liu Muyan fell silent for a moment, then said, "I cannot divulge that."

"Are you afraid I'll leak it?" Luo Yao asked, a teasing smile on his lips, "Don't worry, I am not one of yours from Shadow Tower."

Liu Muyan hesitated, looking at Luo Yao, "Who exactly are you?"

"Just a Loose Cultivator," Luo Yao replied nonchalantly.

Liu Muyan frowned, seemingly not convinced by Luo Yao's words.

But she did not press further, as there were more pressing matters at hand.

"You should know why the Shadow Tower is after us," Liu Muyan said to Luo Yao, "We hope you can assist us."
