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

Chapter 194 Treasure
"Hiss! Who is that person? How can they be so powerful?"

The battle between Nangong Cheng and the man in black robes had attracted the attention of many people around them from the very beginning.

Some cultivators who were confident in their abilities even approached unintentionally.

I want to see why they are fighting.

To see if there are any precious treasures.
Is it possible to pick up some bargains when both sides are severely damaged?

Also because of this,

They witnessed Shen Changchuan suddenly plunge into the battlefield.

Then, he decisively broke the combined attack of the four black-robed men whose auras were at the ninth level, and then killed two of the black-robed men at the ninth level in just a few breaths!
Its speed is so fast,

The variety of techniques displayed when killing enemies
The surrounding cultivators, who were watching the battlefield and hoping to get a bargain, almost gasped in shock.

"Every spell is instantaneous. This person has probably mastered them all to perfection!"

"One person mastering nearly ten perfect-level spells, that's simply a monster!"

Does anyone know anything about this person?

"I don't know, he's an unfamiliar face, probably from out of town."

"I've never seen him before, and I haven't heard of such a person recently. However, someone like him is bound to become famous throughout the world in the future."

"The allure of Biyuan aquatic plants... it seems like all sorts of strange and wonderful things have come out!"

Many people who are interested in this place are discussing it.

Someone exclaimed in amazement.

The sudden upheaval in Wujiaji first triggered a battle between more than a dozen Nascent Soul stage experts.
Then, hundreds of cultivators hidden in the mountains and forests were brought to the surface.

Fighting and scrambling ensued over the white light treasures that flew out of the pillars of light.

Such a grand scene,
That's enough for everyone present to brag about for a lifetime.

Those who initially thought they could get a bargain simply left quietly.

It seems like they just came to see the scenery.
There is no other meaning.

no way,
Finding a bargain depends on the person.

That person used such methods

I'm afraid even those famous peak ninth-level beings are nothing special!
Without the presence of Nascent Soul Realm experts...
He can be considered a giant among those at the Qi Refining Realm!

What merit or ability do they possess?

Is it possible to take advantage of someone like that?

It's good enough if I don't get killed like a monster.

Many of the people around quietly dispersed.
However, at the same time,

Shen Changchuan's face was also deeply etched into their minds.

Although they did not know,

Shen Changchuan's face is fake.

Ignoring the reactions of those around me

Shen Changchuan stood still and turned to look at Nangong Cheng.

"Brother Nangong, how are you? Are you alright?"

"It's nothing. Thank you for your help. May I ask who you are?"

Nangong Cheng hesitated for a moment before asking.

And at this moment,
Shen Changchuan only then realized what was happening.

He now wears a different face, transformed through the Transformation Technique.

He coughed quickly, changed his tone, and said in a low voice:
"Oh, cough cough, my name is Yang Ming. I'm good friends with Zhang Qingyuan and have some connection with Shen Changchuan. I've heard him talk about you."

"Uh, is that so? Then Nangong Cheng greets Brother Yang!"

Nangong Cheng's expression was somewhat strange.
I wasn't entirely sure just by listening to the sound.
Now I'm even more certain.

It must be Yang Qingyun, the one who likes to act under other people's faces! Zhang Qingyuan is one of them.

Yang Ming in front of us is the same.

Thinking back, the styles and methods of the fight just now were so similar.
Nangong Cheng was absolutely certain that the person in front of him was Shen Changchuan!

However, while feeling strange,

Nangong Cheng suddenly realized something.
and many more,

This aura... he's reached the ninth level of Qi Refining?!

If I remember correctly, it seems that just two months ago, the person in front of me was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, right?

To repay the other party for saving his life and helping him achieve enlightenment, he gave them the opportunity to possess the Earth Vein Spirit Milk.

At that time, his cultivation level was probably around the early stage of the eighth level. After being refined by the earth vein spiritual milk, he was able to advance to the middle stage of the eighth level.

How long has it been? You've already advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining?
For a time,

Nangong Cheng's heart was filled with incredibly complex emotions.

He couldn't help but have this thought.

All along,
He was a genius in the eyes of others.

At a young age, he reached the eighth level of Qi Refining in his early twenties. Although he suffered a calamity and was delayed for a year or two, he later received the help of the Earth Vein Spirit Milk and advanced to the ninth level in one fell swoop.

The transformation is imminent, and the future looks bright.

Even the people there say that without any family help, they have achieved such a level of cultivation in this remote and barren place through their own hard work, which is far beyond what ordinary cultivation geniuses can compare to.

For this,

Nangong Cheng was also quite proud of it.
It is something to be proud of.

It should be noted that in the cultivation region where Qingcheng is located in the south, the average age of cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining is over sixty!

Even those at the peak of the ninth level, who are regarded by others as having the potential to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, are already worthy of being mentioned in great detail when they advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining at the age of forty!
The spiritual energy is scarce, and there is a lack of spiritual stones and spiritual items needed for cultivation. This is actually quite normal.

In comparison, what about him?

How could he not feel proud to have advanced to the ninth level of the realm at the age of twenty?
But on that day, when Shen Changchuan revealed his true strength and learned that the renowned Zhang Qingyuan was actually his alias, and that he had demonstrated unparalleled combat prowess in the underground cave battle—a feat that allowed him to challenge opponents far above his level—…
Nangong City was also somewhat affected.

I am seen as a genius by others.

But in this world, there are geniuses above geniuses!

The other party had already reached the eighth level of the realm at the tender age of ten-odd years old.

His combat power is astonishing, and he has mastered many perfect-level spells that even he himself has never mastered.

Taking on challenges beyond one's level is as easy as eating and drinking.

At that time, Nangong Cheng could still console himself by saying that the boy's cultivation was ultimately at the eighth level, one level lower than his own.

but now,
Sensing the opponent's blazing aura of the ninth level of cultivation,
Nangong Cheng fell completely silent.

Some geniuses are simply unreasonable!
I was initially quite happy because I had made some progress in my cultivation over the past two months.

He also harbored a certain degree of ambition to compete with Shen Changchuan, this junior.

In the blink of an eye,

The other party's cultivation level had already caught up with his own.

With a mere gesture, he displayed over a dozen perfect-level spells, easily slaying the black-robed man who had completely cornered him.
The complexities within my heart,
How could outsiders possibly know?
For a time,

Nangong Cheng's mind was in turmoil.

"Brother Nangong, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Nangong Cheng seemed to be stunned on the spot for a moment, with a complicated change in his expression, Shen Changchuan couldn't help but give him a slight reminder.

"Oh, I'm fine. Wait a minute, Brother Shen Yang, don't let those two get away!"

Nangong Cheng was awakened by Shen Changchuan.
Suddenly remembering something, his expression changed, and he quickly spoke up.

"Those people are all demonic cultivators from the Southern Yue Kingdom, and they have just acquired a powerful treasure! If they digest it, their strength will increase dramatically, which is definitely not a good thing!"
