My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 201 Review and Plan

Below Wujiaji,
Hidden within is the ruins of an ancient grotto!

This is the latest rumor circulating outside.

This rumor is not unfounded; it has some basis in fact.

As evidence for these rumors, the treasures contained within the many beams of white light that were thrown out during the events of a few days ago are now being discussed.
On that day, the pillar of light shattered, but countless streams of white light scattered throughout the surrounding mountains and forests.

Five days had passed since that day.

And within these five days,

Many cultivators have already managed to snatch those treasures enveloped in white light.

Because some treasures may not be entirely suitable for them. Some extremely precious natural treasures that were once rarely seen have even begun to circulate in the market.
All of these factors undoubtedly provide strong evidence for the rumor that there is an ancient site beneath Wujiaji!
and,

Other than that,

More importantly,

The huge pit where Wujiaji is located has now been completely sealed off by a magic array.
No one knows what those Nascent Soul stage experts are doing.
Those outside only saw occasionally that beings at the Nascent Soul stage arrived.

They forcibly entered the magic array.
The upper echelons maintain a very tight control over information and intelligence.

Even those at the Nascent Soul stage treat it with such seriousness.

If there's nothing strange about it,
I'm afraid no one will believe it.

Also because of this,

As the news spread,

More and more cultivators are beginning to converge towards Dawancun.

Even cultivators from cultivation cities within a radius of thousands of miles around have shown their presence here.

They're ready to get a piece of the pie.

Against this backdrop
The covert battles are becoming increasingly brutal and intense.

The scattered treasures, in particular, fueled the fierce battles and bloodshed that raged throughout the mountains and forests.

However, these

It didn't have much to do with Shen Changchuan.

He had no intention of getting involved in this mess.

Having faced that near-death crisis of confronting the blood-patterned black-robed man once is enough.

He's not like the protagonist in an old-fashioned fantasy novel, who can break through enemy defenses and unleash a counterattack every time death comes his way.

In fact,
Even if he breaks through to the next level this time,
But even against such a formidable enemy, he could only withstand one move.
They are still miles away from being able to turn the tables on their opponent.

If it weren't for someone fortunately coming to the rescue,
He was already dead and couldn't die anymore.

Reality isn't a novel, nor is it the protagonist of a shonen anime; let's be as cautious as possible for now.
then,

Let the storms rage outside,

Shen Changchuan remains steadfast, diligently cultivating and improving himself.

He first spent some time fully mastering the surge in divine consciousness.

To fully digest the gains from World War I.

During this process,

Xiaoyu often went to the square and stayed by Shen Changchuan's side.

She didn't bother Shen Changchuan.

She sat quietly in the corner, watching Shen Changchuan, as if seeing him could put her at ease.

For this,

Shen Changchuan didn't pay any attention, nor did he say anything to drive her away.

Even while escorting a caravan, he was able to calm his mind and cultivate.

Now, his temperament has been tempered and hardened, and he will not be swayed by the slightest disturbance in his surroundings.

Furthermore, Han Qinhu, the maternal grandfather, had already arranged for a maid from his own family to serve him.

There's no need to worry.

He was able to devote almost all his energy to his own cultivation and improvement.

After digesting the gains from that clash with the Blood-Patterned Black Robe

Having grasped the power of his rapidly increasing divine sense, Shen Changchuan then focused his attention on improving his cultivation level.

"Two months ago, I killed the Qi family patriarch, Cao Hongshang, the leader of the Mutual Aid Alliance. In addition to the gains from killing the four ninth-level demonic cultivators this time, as well as the village's profits and other miscellaneous gains, I now have more than 20,000 spirit stones, including one mid-grade spirit stone."

Shen Changchuan took stock of his assets.

He fell into deep thought for a moment.

"So, should I go to Qingcheng to buy some pills for cultivating to the ninth level, so that I can quickly improve my cultivation level?"

20,000 spirit stones,

Furthermore, his cultivation aptitude has now improved significantly.
Even if you buy fewer cultivation pills, it should be enough to reach the peak of the ninth level.

If one has good cultivation aptitude, the number of pills needed will naturally be reduced.

just,

Do we really want to recklessly use pills to quickly boost our cultivation level, just like before?
Right now,

Shen Changchuan hesitated.

before this,

Shen Changchuan firmly believed that current strength was the most important thing.
Ignoring the costs and consequences, they tried their best to elevate their cultivation level.

According to his thinking, as long as he advances to the Nascent Soul realm and possesses greater strength, the precious natural treasures for solidifying his foundation, which were once unattainable when he was in the Qi Induction realm, will not only be readily available, but will also be much easier to obtain.

If one's realm is lacking,

We can make up for it when we become stronger.

not to mention,
Given the previous environmental crises, those at the early to mid-stages of Qi Refining are truly struggling to face the hidden dangers around them.

He had no choice but to convert the spirit stones in his possession into pills to improve his strength as quickly as possible in the shortest amount of time.

however,
More than two months ago, after soaking in the Earth Vein Spirit Milk to cleanse himself, Shen Changchuan's thoughts began to waver.

Especially after that, in order to advance to the peak of the eighth level, he took the Purple Gold Pill for cultivation.

At that time,

Having just undergone the cleansing of the earth's spiritual milk, its body was as pure and flawless as jade, brimming with spiritual energy.

However, as the Purple Gold Pill entered the body, its medicinal power surged and rampaged, leaving behind a series of barely perceptible, hidden injuries.

And one could clearly feel a trace of erysipelas or other impurities settling deep within one's body.
He could clearly feel some of the downsides of taking the elixir.

Use elixirs to break through.

Ultimately, it's not a good thing.

When I was weak, I had no choice, but now that I have reached the ninth level and the Nascent Soul realm is just around the corner.

Perhaps we should give this a serious second thought.

"Alright, I'll take a few months to hone my skills on my own. If I don't make enough progress and fail to meet my promise to Senior Shen Tingchu to reach the peak of the ninth level within a year, then I'll buy pills to improve!"

quickly,

Shen Changchuan then had a general plan in mind.

But soon,

Shen Changchuan then thought of something else.

He then flipped his palm and took out a square jade box.

Inside the box was a fist-sized peach, emitting wisps of spiritual energy, and its entire body was reddish-brown with a hint of pink.

Looking at the thirty-year-old spirit peach in the box,
Shen Changchuan's face showed a conflicted expression.

Unlike elixirs,
Consuming spiritual peaches, a rare and precious substance from heaven and earth, to enhance one's cultivation level has virtually no side effects.
