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

Chapter 124 Visit
Without large-scale development and exploration,
That means anything is possible!
If you are lucky enough,

If a cultivator who ventures into the mountains encounters an extremely precious treasure of heaven and earth, he might not have to worry about cultivation resources when he reaches the Nascent Soul stage!
Even without that extraordinary luck to obtain heaven-defying treasures,
With the cultivation resources available in this vast mountainous area, they could stay here for a period of time.

Also because of this,

In a short period of time,
The cultivators gathered here will not disperse for the time being.

For the Wu family...

This is undoubtedly bad news.

However, these

These are all matters that the Wu family in Wujiaji, far away, needs to consider, and have little to do with Shen Changchuan.

Therefore, Shen Changchuan only learned about it briefly and did not delve into it further.

In reality, it's impossible to gain a deeper understanding.
After all, during this period of time

The Wu family has remained secluded in the mountains.
Several months passed, and not a single member of the Wu family went out.

No one knows what the Wu family members inside their tightly closed house were thinking.
But no matter what,
In any case, there has been no news circulating outside that is related to Biyuan aquatic plants.

Therefore, Shen Changchuan will not need to contact Shen Tingchu for the time being.

There was no progress on the official business.
Shen Changchuan also turned his attention to other matters.

One thing worth noting is that a major event occurred in Fanjiacun, one of the six villages that sought refuge in Dawancun.

That is, when the head of the Fan family went out, he was ambushed and killed, disappearing without a trace, leaving no trace of his body.

The eldest son of the Fan family who was sent to Dawan Village has already bid farewell to Dawan Village and returned to inherit the family business.

This unexpected turn of events,
This was undoubtedly beyond Shen Changchuan's expectations.

But at most, one could only sigh and lament that with the influx of a large number of outside cultivators, the surrounding area had indeed become dangerous.

Fortunately, I had the foresight to back down in advance.

Aside from that, I didn't feel much emotional fluctuation.

After all, he had only been in Dawancun for less than a year, and he had only met the leaders of the surrounding villages a few times, so they didn't have much of a relationship.

The death of someone you've only met a few times won't affect anyone's emotions much.

At most, they would ensure that their family's legacy wouldn't be taken away by outsiders, provided that Fanjiacun sent tribute to them.

This is the limit of what he can do.

As for avenging the head of the Fan family?
Putting aside the fact that he was nowhere to be found, where was he supposed to find his killer to avenge him?
Even if it were truly discovered that he was an enemy with whom he had a blood feud,

The little bit of spiritual grain they offered wasn't enough to get Shen Changchuan to take action!
You get what you pay for.

That little bit of spiritual grain could at most allow Shen Changchuan to help them ensure that their foundation still belonged to the Fan family.

Other than that,

There's basically nothing major happening outside of Dawancun.

There are rumors that the Baojia Mutual Aid Alliance may have offended someone, and has been keeping a low profile lately.

However, these claims are difficult to verify, and Shen Changchuan only briefly inquired about them before ignoring them.

However, within the village,

There is one thing that he needs to decide.

That was a message sent by Si Houqing, saying that other chambers of commerce also wanted to set up shop in Dawan Village.
Therefore, Si Houqing wanted to get a sense of Shen Changchuan's opinion.

This matter is quite significant.

Shen Changchuan only thought about it for a moment.
The next step was to visit them in person.

Fortunately, he had already advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refining, and the cultivation pills he needed next would have to go through Si Houqing's channels.

then,

After resting for half a day, Shen Changchuan went directly to the commercial district in the east of the village.

Although only one chamber of commerce has moved in so far.
However, judging from the flow of people, it already has considerable potential.

"Fellow Daoist Si, may your business prosper!"

Upon entering the temporary trading post set up by the Sanhe Chamber of Commerce, Shen Changchuan saw people coming and going. He smiled and congratulated Si Houqing, who was arranging for the inn's staff to receive guests.

"Brother Shen has arrived! Thank you for your kind words. Please come in quickly!"

Under Si Houqing's warm reception,
Shen Changchuan arrived at the courtyard behind the inn.

The host and guests sat down.

Si Houqing picked up the kettle and brewed some light tea. The refreshing tea was surrounded by wisps of white steam that lingered around the edges of the tea.

"It seems Brother Shen has had quite a haul this time."

Si Houqing sighed as he brewed tea.

Although he was unable to see through Shen Changchuan's perfect-level concealment technique.

However, one can glean some clues from the joyful expression on the other person's face.

"Not at all, just a slight improvement. Compared to Fellow Daoist Si's recent booming business, it's nothing."

Shen Changchuan said with a smile.

The two then exchanged pleasantries.

After exchanging pleasantries,

Shen Changchuan didn't waste any words and got straight to the point.

"Brother Si, the main reason I've come to you this time is to ask for your help in purchasing some pills needed for cultivating to the seventh level of Qi Refining."

"I wonder what the best cultivation pills are for the seventh level?"

At this moment, Shen Changchuan,

He exuded a certain air of confidence befitting a wealthy person.

He couldn't help but feel this confidence.
His own accumulated wealth, plus the more than three thousand in rent from Si Houqing, and the many spoils of war from the Blood Slaughter of the Three Demons.

Shen Changchuan already possesses nearly ten thousand spirit stones!
Such a large sum of money,
Even a cultivator at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining might not be able to pull it out!
But a spirit stone is a spirit stone.

Strength is strength.

The spirit stone will be stolen.
Only strength will accompany you throughout your life.

Therefore, Shen Changchuan naturally intended to transform the spirit stones in his hands into his own power.

"Out with the old, in with the new. As long as you have the strength, you can earn more spirit stones if you lose them!"

"And the stronger you are, the more opportunities you have to earn spirit stones."

"On the contrary, the weaker you are, the fewer opportunities you have! Not only that, the weak may face certain death at any time, and all their life savings may be used to benefit others."

"If the Three Demons of Blood Slaughter were to attack, without sufficient strength, forget about spirit stones; you might not even be able to save your life!"

It is precisely because of this idea,
He naturally didn't intend to be stingy with spirit stones when it came to improving his own cultivation.

Shen Changchuan, who now possesses nearly ten thousand spirit stones,
They're already qualified to try out the drug-fueled, pay-to-win style.

Since there are enough spirit stones,

Then naturally, it has to be the best!

Otherwise, Shen Changchuan could have simply taken the Qi-boosting pills he obtained after killing the Three Blood Demons, instead of consigning them for sale.

"The best pill for a Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivator is, of course, the Nourishing Essence Pill."

"This kind of pill not only enhances cultivation, but also nourishes the vital energy and strengthens the foundation. If one can obtain a high-grade Nourishing Vitality Pill, then there is no need to worry about the pill causing one's cultivation level to become unstable."

Si Houqing answered without hesitation.

"Alright, then this kind of pill will do! I wonder if Brother Si has any supply of this kind of pill?"

Shen Changchuan decided to buy and take the pill almost without hesitation.

just,

At this moment, Si Houqing's expression froze.
