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

Chapter 186 Ninefold
Dawan Village
Secluded chamber,

With a surge of air, a powerful aura swept outwards, creating a visible air wave.

Shen Changchuan, who was sitting cross-legged on a white jade futon, suddenly experienced a surge in his aura.
They had already reached the ninth level!

Breakthrough!
Shen Changchuan was also somewhat taken aback at this moment.

After refining the last Purple Gold Pill, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the eighth level.

So I decided to try and break through the bottleneck of the ninth level.

The result was exactly as expected, as if it were a natural progression.
The bottleneck that had been blocking their path was suddenly broken through.
His cultivation level reached the ninth level in one fell swoop!

That's a breakthrough?!

For a time,

Shen Changchuan felt somewhat bewildered.

He was still thinking about where to find some spirit stones so he could buy pills to help him break through to the Wanling Pavilion in Qingcheng.

After all, within that year, before reaching the eighth level, every breakthrough he made in each realm relied on the power of elixirs.

This time, I relied on my own slight effort to push forward.
The bottleneck in one's cultivation level is broken through with a bang.
This gave him a sense of unreality.

But soon,

Shen Changchuan then brought his scattered thoughts back to the present.

This breakthrough was unexpected.

But no matter what,
First, stabilize your realm.
Otherwise, if one is not careful, their cultivation level might drop, which would be troublesome.

Shen Changchuan quickly calmed his mind and focused on circulating the magical power within his body, suppressing and calming the restless energy.
time flies,
Three more days passed in the blink of an eye.
After three days of effort
Shen Changchuan's breathing stabilized.

The ninth level of Qi Refining Realm
And so they settled in.

There's no need to worry that agitation of the mind will cause uncontrolled magical power and a drop in cultivation level.

And even now,
Only then did he have time to properly examine every corner of his body.
Let's review the process before and after this breakthrough.

"It seems that the reason I was able to break through so easily this time is largely due to the power of the Earth Vein Spirit Milk."

Through continuous training with the Soul-Capturing Bell and the Divine Soul Secret Technique, Shen Changchuan now possesses a divine soul far surpassing that of other cultivators of the same level.

It is also through this means,

He could clearly perceive the changes in every inch of his body's meridians and corners.

They also discovered the reason why they were able to break through the bottleneck so easily on this trip.

The reason lies in the fact that his cultivation aptitude has been greatly improved!
Improvement of cultivation aptitude
For him, the bottleneck of the Qi Refining Realm was as easy as eating and drinking, posing virtually no challenge.

"Back then, I first obtained the seedlings of the Azure Origin Water Grass to improve my aptitude, then I obtained the Azure Origin Purifying Pill to further enhance it, and then a month ago, I obtained the Earth Vein Spirit Milk to further refine and improve my aptitude."

"After such repeated opportunities, my talent is now far beyond that of ordinary cultivators, if not one in ten thousand!"

"Especially that time with the Earth Vein Spirit Milk, it not only washed away the accumulated medicinal effects, poisons, hidden injuries, and unstable mana in my body, making my body full of spiritual energy and completely renewed, but it was also like the last straw that broke the camel's back, allowing my cultivation aptitude to take a crucial step and undergo a transformation!"

"It is precisely because of these continuously improving aptitudes that the bottleneck of the ninth level of Qi Refining is no problem for me at all. I no longer need to rely on the power of pills to break through as before. Once my mana reaches a certain level, my cultivation realm will naturally advance."

To understand this,
Shen Changchuan couldn't help but smile slightly.

My mood improved greatly.

He didn't know if this transformed talent would still be useful after he reached the Out-of-Body Realm.

However, as long as it can be effective below the peak of the ninth level, or even provide some assistance in advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, it is acceptable.

He was already completely satisfied.

"In that case, advancing to the peak of the ninth level within a year might not be difficult for me."

For a moment, Shen Changchuan was in a great mood.

"This is Dawan Village? Are you sure this place is called Dawan Village?"

In the village,

Within the business district,

Several members of the Shen clan from Tiannan City looked at the drastically changed town, now bustling with cultivators, their faces filled with bewilderment.

Based on the information they gathered about the tribe when they arrived,
This Dawan Village is nothing more than a remote mountain village in the countryside, occupying only twelve acres of spiritual land!

This area was originally a wild and desolate place where even a cultivation market did not exist.

But what's going on right now?
"This is Dawan Village, it has always been called Dawan Village."

The innocent passerby who was being pulled away looked completely bewildered.

"This is impossible!"

"How could a rural village be like this? Are you trying to fool me?"

Such a prosperous place is no less than some major towns for cultivating immortality.

Putting everything else aside,
But judging from the large number of cultivators coming and going, it's clear that being the guardian of this place must bring in a considerable income!
Although the Shen family of Tiannan is large...

But if such a major center for cultivating immortality existed, how could they not know about it?

Because such a position is a very lucrative post for them, and they would never miss it!

"Esteemed immortals, how could I dare? Oh, are you all newcomers?"

"Actually, the changes in Dawang Village have only occurred within the last six months or so. If you've only recently arrived, it's normal that you don't know about them."

Several people looked at each other.

"Please elaborate, sir."

"Let me tell you..."

So not long after,

According to passersby
The group finally understood the cause and effect, and learned the reason for the changes that had taken place in Dawang Village.

"What incredible luck!"

Having learned the specifics,
The group of people stood there in astonishment.
For a moment, he was speechless.

Due to the upheaval in the local powerful Wu family, a large number of cultivators flocked to the area, leading to the closure of the Wu family market and the rise of Dawan Village.
This series of changes,
It's almost unbelievable!

In particular, some of them had served as heads of family businesses.
It's even clearer now that this change is practically like a windfall!
"We were originally planning to visit them directly, but now it seems we should probably investigate first."

"Indeed, with so many cultivators coming and going to trade, the rental income alone could easily reach tens of thousands of spirit stones."

"Income of tens of thousands of spirit stones"

"Be careful not to alert the enemy."

"Speaking of which, now that Dawang Village has become a trading center in the area, it's quite reasonable for Shen Chong to come here."

"No rush, let's find a local to find out first. I have some dealings with the Sanhe Chamber of Commerce before, let's go and investigate."

The group communicated through magic.

Discussing things in secret.

Then he quietly walked toward the shop that was displaying the banner of the Sanhe Chamber of Commerce.
