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

Chapter 49 Gains and Troubles

"You guys, help clean up the battlefield."

Shen Changchuan put away the Soul-Capturing Bell and saw the heads of various villages who had stopped halfway through their escape. He called out to them.

He paused briefly midway through his speech.
The sudden pause startled the group, turning them pale.

Fortunately, what they said next put them at ease.

That was just giving orders, without any follow-up action.

The group immediately set to work, searching the surrounding corpses and collecting various spoils of war.

Shen Changchuan glanced at these people.
No words were spoken.

anyway,

These guys fled without a fight; they scattered in all directions before the battle even began.

It did indeed make him somewhat unhappy.

But upon closer reflection...
They weren't Shen Changchuan's subordinates either.

in contrast,

The heads of these villages were, in a sense, his benefactors.

Sixty to seventy percent of the harvest each year had to be offered to him.

Since they're the big spenders, what's there to criticize?

Just like readers pay to subscribe to your novel, what's wrong with them saying a few words of nonsense?
The customer is king.
The old man was the one who paid.

Thinking of this,
Shen Changchuan's displeasure naturally vanished.

"That makes sense. They're only at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining. It's normal for them to be afraid in front of these powerful enemies."

Considering the substantial offerings they make each year,
Shen Changchuan proactively provided them with reasons to exonerate themselves.

He walked up to the corpse of the leader of the men in black, picked up a branch, and used it to lift up the storage bag under the right sleeve of the man's clothes.

Good luck,

The battle did not damage the storage bag.

Shen Changchuan poured his magic power into it, reopening the mark of its original owner.

A space of about seven or eight cubic meters appeared in my perception.

Shen Changchuan carefully searched for what he had gained.

But soon,
He frowned slightly.

Because the amount of stuff inside was less than he had expected!

There are only twenty or thirty spirit stones.

The spirit grain weighed about eight or nine hundred jin, and contained various monster materials, miscellaneous ores, etc., taking up a lot of space.

But all of these things combined probably add up to more than a hundred spirit stones.

Besides that, all that remained was a low-level magic weapon longsword and a bottle of pills.

穷，
We're so poor!
Shen Changchuan was somewhat disappointed.
Having already tasted the rich spoils of the Four Fiends of Heshan, he was rather indifferent to his current gains.

You are at the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the leader of the Four Fiends of Heshan is also at this level.

But they are much richer than you!

Putting everything else aside, the Soul-Capturing Bell alone is worth six or seven times more than all the valuables in this storage bag!
Shen Changchuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly and shake his head slightly.

With a flip of the palm,

A bottle of pills then appeared in his palm.

He opened the bottle, looked at the appearance and color of the pills inside, and smelled their aroma.

His expression changed slightly at that moment.

"Okay, I think I spoke a bit too loudly just now."

Shen Changchuan muttered to himself.

Without leaving a trace, he plugged the jade bottle and put the pill back into his storage bag.

In one's heart,

The atmosphere became extremely solemn at this moment.

The taste of Biyuan aquatic plants,
You can’t go wrong!

not long ago,

He had only refined a seedling of a Biyuan waterweed.

That refreshing taste that made his soul feel clear was still fresh in his memory to this day!
The scent emanating from this pill could purify the mind and soul.
It was almost exactly the same as my previous memories!
Shen Changchuan was certain that

The main ingredient of this pill is definitely the Azure Origin Water Grass.

Moreover, it's a mature Biyuan aquatic plant!

“Even a seedling of the Azure Origin Water Grass is already of extraordinary value, let alone a mature Azure Origin Water Grass that has been refined into a pill! I remember there is a pill that uses Azure Origin Water Grass as its main ingredient, called the Azure Origin Purifying Spirit Pill.”

"And this kind of pill is in no way inferior to the Nascent Soul Pill!"

Shen Changchuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Out-of-body pill,
That's a breakthrough pill that can increase the success rate of a Qi Refining Ninth Level Peak cultivator breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

You can imagine its value!

The value of the Biyuan Jingling Pill, which is comparable to it, is imaginable!
"Biyuan Waterweed"

Shen Changchuan's heart underwent some changes.
He was reminded of the young seedling of *Lysimachia christinae* at the bottom of the Da Wan River.

I thought of the case that happened in Dawancun twenty years ago, in which a member of the Shen family's collateral branch died and the Hu family was wiped out.

"This precious medicinal herb is not something you can just take for granted."

"Could it be that some hidden place in this desolate land produces such a rare and precious natural treasure?"

Shen Changchuan's gaze was somewhat uncertain.

He had suspected something was wrong a long time ago.
Back then, the head of the Hu family in Dawan Village was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining cultivation.
With such strength, sending out even a mere Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivator would be enough to sweep everything away.

Why bother having a true cultivator from the Shen family at the Nascent Soul stage come in person?!
That's like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito!
Although he sensed something was strange,
However, Dawancun was successively led by Shen Shiying and then by Shen Changchuan.

Nothing particularly noteworthy happened during that time.

Even if he wanted to investigate,

There is no direction.
Unless one were to meet that Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from the Shen family and personally inquire with him, it would be impossible to understand the reason behind it.

But this is obviously impossible.

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't think about that now!"

There were many things involved, and Shen Changchuan felt a headache coming on. He quickly stopped thinking about it.

These are issues too far in the future; we'll discuss them later.

"Those things are not important for now. The most important thing right now is to find out where this pill came from and who knows about it!"

Shen Changchuan quickly pulled himself out of his thoughts.

Let's return to the key priorities we need to focus on now.

"By the way, what happened to those two people who were being chased?"

Thinking of this,

Shen Changchuan finally realized what was happening.

He asked the people around him.

As the ones being hunted, they might know the identities of these men in black.

However, the heads of the various villages who were searching for spoils all looked at each other, shook their heads, and indicated that they did not know.

The battle just now broke out too suddenly.

Their decision to flee was far too decisive.
So much so that no one paid any attention to the two figures, one big and one small, that were being chased from the very beginning and caused the conflict.

"Well... just now, that old immortal master asked about our identities and asked us to tell the immortal masters that he would surely repay us handsomely in the future. Then he left in a hurry with his men."

at this time,

Several ordinary warriors who were originally at the back of the caravan stepped forward and spoke in a somewhat trembling voice.

Did that person leave any identification information?

"No."

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but frown.

He didn't waste any more words.

The order was immediately issued:

"Pack your things quickly and set off immediately!"

Shen Changchuan vaguely sensed that...

Specifically, they may have gotten themselves into trouble.

But there is no way,
After all, it was those men in black who took the initiative to attack them. They couldn't just lay down their weapons and let them slaughter them without any resistance, could they?

Let's leave first and talk about it later!
quickly,

The group quickly packed up their spoils and set off again.

Shen Changchuan fell to the last place.
He thought for a while,

A dozen or so fireballs were unleashed in succession, burning away all traces of the battle.

They then quickly left with the convoy.
