Gou Zai Liang Jie Dao Wen Cheng Xian

The next day, Chu Xuan returned to his safe house and began another day of cultivation. Eight hours of cultivation every day was Chu Xuan's unwavering daily routine.

Every day was like this. On this day, Chu Xuan was cultivating when suddenly, his physical body seemed to reach a certain limit. His whole body was radiating a golden spiritual light and exuding a profound aura.

Chu Xuan's eyes lit up. Had he touched the threshold of the sixth level of body refinement?

Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Xuan fully activated the Thick Earth Suppressing Yuan Technique, drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy like a tidal wave, which surged into Chu Xuan's body, tempering every inch of his flesh and blood!

Time passed second by second, and after an unknown amount of time, a boundary was broken through in the darkness. Chu Xuan's aura suddenly surged, and the surrounding spiritual energy was instantly absorbed by his body. The magical power on Chu Xuan's body became several levels more concentrated.

Body Refinement Level 6, done!

A smile appeared on Chu Xuan's face. The sixth level of body refinement was the last stage of the middle stage of body refinement. After that, he would reach the late stage of body refinement.

Once you reach the late stage of Body Refinement, Foundation Establishment won't be far behind.

In contrast, most of his classmates in the Federation were still struggling in the early stages of Body Refinement. Even the geniuses who scored seven points like him were only at the fourth level of Body Refinement. He was already far ahead of his peers.

As for this world, Chu Xuan had no contact with the upper class, but even among ordinary mortals, he was far ahead.

The simplicity of the cultivation techniques in this world far exceeded Chu Xuan's imagination. The crudeness of the cultivation techniques practiced in Xu Family Village refreshed Chu Xuan's understanding.

In the Federation, even the simplest and most basic cultivation technique is ten times more sophisticated than this one.

Putting everything else aside, any one of the seventy-two forms of the Wuji Body Refining Technique would be more effective at body refining than this lousy technique from Xujia Village.

It's not even as good as a single move of the Limitless Body Refining Technique, let alone the even more profound Thick Earth Suppressing Yuan Technique that Chu Xuan cultivates.

This also explains why the beings of this world, despite possessing such abundant spiritual energy, are unable to absorb it; they are like sitting on a mountain of treasure without realizing it.

Chu Xuan had also studied the cultivation methods of Xu Family Village. They did not even involve absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper the body, but rather consumed one's own blood and flesh essence to transform it into so-called innate true essence.

Then, they replenish their blood and essence through food. This ancient and outdated method has long been eliminated in the Federation and swept into the dustbin of history.

However, it is precisely because of this that their advantages are highlighted. With the Federation's cultivation techniques and the spiritual energy of this world, their cultivation speed is naturally advancing by leaps and bounds.

Chu Xuan suppressed his thoughts. It was too early to talk about these things. He should focus on Foundation Establishment first. He was at the sixth level of Body Refinement and getting closer to Foundation Establishment. However, the next few levels were more difficult than the last, and there was still a long way to go.

I am very pleased to have broken through the barrier today. I will practice for two more hours!

And so, Chu Xuan spent his mornings cultivating and his afternoons returning to the village to read and receive the latest news. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

On this day, Chu Xuan slowly finished his work, a deep yellow light flashing in his eyes, as pure as yellow crystal.

As the magical power subsided, the yellow light in Chu Xuan's eyes also dissipated.

Tomorrow is the day that Master Qingyuefang will come to the village to collect the talisman paper. We should go back early today and postpone tomorrow's cultivation until tonight. It's also time to meet the cultivators of this world.

The next morning, the whole village came alive as everyone took stock of their talismans, checking how much money they could make and whether it would be enough for a year.

In the entire Xujia Village, the main source of income is from selling talisman paper.

One hundred talismans can be exchanged for one gold bean. Normally, a person can make at least a thousand talismans, which can be exchanged for at least ten gold beans. A family can have thirty or forty gold beans in total. If they spend them sparingly, it will be more than enough.

Chu Xuan watched this scene with great interest. Last year, he had hidden too quickly and had no chance to notice it. Indeed, in any world, survival is the top priority.

Whether you worked in your past life or made talismans in this life, it's all for survival.

Needless to say, federal citizens simply enjoy a life of luxury.

As dawn broke, the crisp sound of a wooden clapper echoed through the village, and all the villagers, carrying the fruits of their year's hard work, headed toward the village center.

Chu Xuan stood outside the house, watching the people carrying talismans, and for some reason felt that they were farmers carrying a year's harvest to sell for money.

The only difference is that farmers grow grain, while the villagers of Xujia Village make talismans, but the core logic is the same.

Upon reaching the village center, the villagers were densely packed together, a vast, bustling crowd. This was the first time the people of Xu Family Village had gathered so completely; even when Chu Xuan sold half-demon beast meat, the villagers had never come in such large numbers.

That makes sense, though, as this is an annual grand event for the villagers.

As Chu Xuan entered, the villagers quickly made way for him, greeting him with "Master Li, you've arrived!"

"Greetings, Master of Power!"

"Please come in."

Before long, Chu Xuan arrived at the heart of the village. Upon seeing Chu Xuan, the village chief, Xu Ying, immediately greeted him with a smile and skillfully used sign language.

Compared to a year ago when Xu Ying disdained to communicate with Chu Xuan and had A Qing demonstrate for him, she was completely different.

Chu Xuan smiled, greeted Xu Ying, and then sat down in the prepared seat, his eyes searching the surrounding crowd.

Soon, they found Aqing and his father in the crowd. The two of them were squeezed in the middle of the crowd, and there was a simple wooden box on the ground, which contained the fruits of their labor for a year.

Upon seeing Chu Xuan's gaze, the two immediately showed signs of tension, forcing a stiff smile. Chu Xuan smiled and nodded, then casually looked away as if he had only glanced at them casually.

At first, the two of them still had contact with Chu Xuan, and they even helped him a lot when he was building his house.

But after Chu Xuan killed someone and revealed his strength at the Innate Realm, the two of them started to avoid him and never took the initiative to approach him. If they met, they would just exchange a perfunctory greeting.

In what seemed like an instant, the three of them became quite unfamiliar with each other.

This resulted in the three of them being the first to know each other, but having the least interaction on a daily basis. Even when buying meat, it was Ah Qing's father who would come, buy the meat, quickly say thank you, and leave.

Chu Xuan shook his head; these two were a bit too honest.

Chu Xuan had seen this kind of person before. If you were in dire straits, they would be willing to lend you a hand, even if they themselves were not doing well. But if you became successful, they would stay far away and not take advantage of you.

Having lived two lives, Chu Xuan has always admired people like this.

That's fine too. Less contact in daily life means that when I leave them, I can leave them something of real value without attracting attention.
