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

Chapter 127 Unknown
Twenty years ago,

Wu Tianhao, the prodigy of the Wu family, joined the Yuqing Upper Sect, which became a sensational news story.

Countless eyes are focused on this area.
The Wu family became the center of countless eyes.
From then on, there was a subtle trend of them transforming from a local powerful family into a family of cultivators!

Yes,

They are a family of cultivators!
As long as the Wu family genius who joined the Jade Purity Sect survives and achieves some success in his cultivation, the Wu family will accumulate enough prestige over time.

Then the Wu family will be able to complete the transition from a rural tycoon to a small aristocratic family!
So-called rural tycoons,
They were those local tyrants who, though occupying a territory, possessed formidable power and were considered local strongmen.
But it rises and falls quickly.

Once it declines, few people will remember it, and it will not leave any legacy for future generations.

And aristocratic families,
In addition to the requirement of substantial family wealth and a well-ordered family lineage, this also applies to other situations.
You also need a reputation that can be spread far and wide!
This is enough fame to let everyone know of its existence and the glorious deeds of a famous ancestor in its family.
Even centuries after its decline, when people talk about the family, they still remember the glorious deeds of their ancestors, bringing invisible benefits to their descendants in terms of reputation!
This is a momentous event that countless clan leaders and members of powerful rural families could never achieve in their entire lives!
It is precisely because of this,
The sensation caused by that incident was no less than when Shen Tingchu came from the west with a sword and personally killed the Hu family members of Dawan Village who had offended the Shen clan!

The name of Wu Tianhao, the prodigy of the Wu family,
Naturally, the news spread like wildfire in the area!
According to rumors from the outside world,
After joining the Jade Purity Sect, he only occasionally returned to the remote borderlands once or twice in the past twenty years to show his face and intimidate the surrounding area.

Now this person has suddenly returned.

Could it be because of that recent rumor about the Wu family?

So how will he resolve this conflict?

Many thoughts flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind.

However, despite having many thoughts in my mind.

But Shen Changchuan's expression didn't slow down at all; he quickly bowed and returned the greeting to Wu Tianhao.

"Senior Wu, you are too kind. Your presence is an honor to my humble abode. Please take a seat."

The person in front of me looked very young, probably around seventeen or eighteen years old.

Shen Changchuan originally wanted to address the other party as "fellow Daoist".

However, Shen Changchuan could not sense the slightest presence of the other party.

That was undoubtedly someone whose strength far surpassed his own.

and,

I heard that twenty years ago, when he joined the Jade Purity Sect, he was twelve or thirteen years old and his cultivation level was around the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining.

Now, twenty years later, the other person is in their thirties.

Judging from his ability to enter the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, even if he has not advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, he is definitely at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Induction!

Both in terms of age and ability, they are a generation ahead of me.

Shen Changchuan then changed his tone and addressed the other party as a senior.

"Brother Shen, you don't need to be so polite."

"In terms of age, I am only about ten years older than you, and in terms of status, Brother Shen's background is even better than mine."

"If you don't mind, Brother Shen, you can just call me Brother Wu."

Wu Tianhao, however, showed none of the arrogance often associated with being a prodigy of the Jade Purity Upper Sect.
On the contrary, his words gave people a comfortable feeling, like a gentle breeze.

While the other party was speaking,

Shen Changchuan sensed the other party's aura.
My suspicions grew increasingly certain.

This person,

There's probably a 90% or higher chance that he's at the Nascent Soul stage!

Therefore, Shen Changchuan did not simply accept the other party's acknowledgment and continued to address him as "senior." If it were someone at the ninth level of Qi Refining, that would be one thing...

Even those who have reached the Astral Projection stage still need to be treated with a certain degree of respect.

After some refusals,
They decided to each discuss their own perspectives.

Shen Changchuan addressed him as Senior Wu, while Wu Tianhao addressed Shen Changchuan as Little Brother Shen.

"I wonder what brings you here, senior? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Not long after,

Shen Changchuan asked the question he most wanted to know, while also subtly indicating that he wanted to draw a line between them.

no way,
The other party suddenly returned from the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.
Furthermore, they conceal their appearance and movements, perhaps harboring some unknown plans or schemes.

Regardless of the specifics of this plan, it will undoubtedly bring about tremendous changes to the entire borderland!

With Shen Changchuan's current strength of only the seventh level of Qi Refining, if he rashly participates in it, he will probably be reduced to ashes.

It is better to stay out of it and preserve one's own safety.

"It's nothing important. I just happened to be passing by and heard that several villains who used to wreak havoc in the area had been killed and their bodies were hung on flagpoles. So I stopped by on my way back to take a look."

Wu Tianhao didn't hide anything and gave a brief explanation.

His words contained no concealment or cover-up.
He did indeed decide to come to Dawan Village on a whim on his way back from Yuqing Sect.

After receiving a message from his uncle and confirming that there was no immediate danger in Wujiaji,
Upon entering the desolate border region, he descended from the clouds and landed on the ground.
Before returning to Wujiaji, he decided to walk around and gather intelligence about the surrounding area to formulate a response plan based on the actual situation.

It was at this moment that
He heard about the scheme devised by the cultivators of the Shen family, who guarded Dawan Village, and how they killed that demonic cultivator known as the Blood Slaughtering Three Demons. This aroused the curiosity of many people, who flocked to watch.

And the name Dawancun

Wu Tianhao remembered that not long ago, when his uncle sent him a message, he mentioned this name in his mind, talking about its origin and how the Biyuan Jingling Pill had fallen into his hands.
Once the thought arises,
So I came here to find out more about Shen Changchuan.

"I never imagined that Brother Shen had already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining. It seems that many of the rumors outside are untrue."

"Brother Shen, you've hidden it far too well. Not a single word has escaped your notice. I'm afraid most people have been fooled by you!"

Wu Tianhao gave Shen Changchuan a meaningful look, looking him up and down.

With his keen eyesight, he naturally saw through Shen Changchuan's disguise immediately and saw the true strength hidden beneath.

This undoubtedly piqued Wu Tianhao's curiosity.

Even though his cultivation had already advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refining,
As a result, the rumors circulating outside still suggest that he is at around the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining!
Regardless of how he managed to do it,
But this ability to conceal and hide, and the composure to endure loneliness,

This truly surprised Wu Tianhao.

"It's just a trivial skill; I'm afraid it's embarrassing for Senior Wu."

"I have no choice but to do this for some reason, please forgive me, senior."

Shen Changchuan bowed his head and apologized.

“Hey, Brother Shen, there’s no need for that.”

"This is your secret. Wu's unauthorized investigation and spying has already violated the established taboo among cultivators."

Between talking,

Shen Changchuan felt an invisible force supporting his arm and helping him up.
