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

Chapter 74 Returning
Rumble!
A series of booming sounds came from all around.

That was the sound of a big tree falling.

Within an area of ​​several dozen feet in radius, one large tree after another was snapped in half and collapsed to the ground with a crash!
The surrounding woods obstructed the view.
In an instant, everything became clear.

The cyan sword light,
Not only did they successfully cut Old Ghost Song in two,

The force of the attack also affected the trees within a radius of several dozen feet!
The trees kept falling.

The scene looks like,
It was absolutely breathtaking!

As the trees that had been blocking the light from the surrounding area disappeared,
The light from the campfire not far away streamed in.

By the dim light of the fire, Shen Changchuan saw the corpse of Old Ghost Song, who had been cut in two, one standing and one lying down.

Completely dried up, it looked like a mummy, devoid of all life.

The dead can no longer die.

Beneath Shen Changchuan's paper-white face,

I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That blast of green wood sword light not only severed him at the waist.
Furthermore, the life force within its body was also destroyed.

That is why his two corpses were like withered wood.

In this situation,
I'm afraid even a god would find it difficult.

Shen Changchuan didn't think that old ghost could still be alive.

My mind finally relaxed.

He let out a few deep breaths.

Relax, and let the internal energy flow through your body for several cycles.

Shen Changchuan's originally empty dantian meridians finally gained some magical power.

The weakness I felt in my limbs was somewhat alleviated.

"My magical power is completely exhausted. If it weren't for the Azure Essence Purifying Pill expanding my dantian meridians, I would have been the one to die in this fierce battle!"

Feeling the emptiness within his body, devoid of any magical power, Shen Changchuan recalled everything he had experienced in the previous battle.
A sense of lingering fear welled up inside them.

This battle,
He used every means at his disposal.

With a bit of luck, they barely managed to kill their opponent.

But if we were to do it again,
Shen Changchuan wasn't sure if he could win.

"This old ghost's strength is simply too terrifying!"

"If it weren't for the powerful bronze jar given by the Wu family patriarch, and the fact that old ghost Song underestimated his opponent and recklessly fell into the trap set by the bronze jar, I'm afraid I would have had no chance of winning at all!"

"That level of strength is really a bit exaggerated."

"Speaking of which, is this the strength that a normal Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivator should have, or is it that Old Ghost Song, because he has been a cultivator for many years, possesses combat power far greater than that of an ordinary Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivator, which is why he almost beat me to the point of having no power to resist?"

After a dozen or so breaths,
Shen Changchuan's pale face gradually regained its rosy hue.

While restoring magical power,

He couldn't help but ponder this in his heart.

But soon he shook his head.

"never mind."

"Why think so much? No matter what the facts are, in the face of the vast cultivation world, I am nothing more than a slightly larger ant."

"Although Old Ghost Song is strong, there are still experts above him at the eighth and ninth levels of Qi Induction."

"Even if I were lucky enough to defeat that old devil Song, I would still be considered a low-to-middle-class person. There are still many threats in this world!"

"The most important thing right now is to get back quickly and properly digest what we've learned on this trip!"

Thinking of this,

Shen Changchuan wasted no more time.

He stood up, took a few steps, went to the bronze jar that had been knocked away, and picked it up.

At this moment, the bronze jar was completely dull.

On the surface, it is simple and flawless, just like an ordinary jar without any mystical features.

There was no trace of the powerful figure who had previously been able to suppress Old Ghost Song, who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

"Fortunately, there was no damage. I wonder where this jar came from. If it weren't for it, even with the Azure Wood Sword Light, I'm afraid we wouldn't have had a chance to use it on this trip."

"Speaking of which, Old Ghost Song seemed to have said earlier that they were going to deal with Wu Family Village. I wonder how it is going. I hope they're alright."

Thinking of Wu Yuanzhi, the head of the Wu family, who had given him the bronze jar, Shen Changchuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The Wu family's strength was too great; facing that level of pressure made him feel somewhat overwhelmed.

Moreover, that beating left him somewhat uncomfortable.

Fortunately, we had this bronze jar this time.

All things considered, it was a life-saving favor.

This left Shen Changchuan with a complex mix of emotions.

Of course,
If he were to repay this life-saving debt with boundless gratitude, would he then turn around and go on to rescue places like Wujiaji?

That's naturally impossible.

That level of confrontation is far too dangerous; a slight misstep could lead to death.

He is not qualified to participate in it now.

"Chaos is about to break out; it's best to leave now!"

I've made up my mind.

Shen Changchuan quickly searched Song Laogui's body and took his cane as well.

After confirming that nothing was left behind,

He squeezed out a bit of his magic power and cast a fireball, burning his body to ashes.

Then,

He called to the others, and they quickly tidied up the area.

They left overnight.

This battle was quite significant.
Nobody knows for sure if it will attract anyone to come and take advantage of the situation.

Moreover, regarding what Old Ghost Song said about the attack on Wujiaji, it would be best to leave first.

Time flies by,

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

The group, traveling light and with minimal supplies, returned safely to Dawang Village without any unexpected incidents.

Looking at the familiar village, the river, and the undulating fields after the harvest,

Shen Changchuan breathed a sigh of relief.

A sense of relief welled up inside me.

Speaking of,
I don't know when,
For him, this Dawan Village

It had become like home, bringing him a rare sense of peace.

This feeling,

It was something I had never experienced before, even when I was in the Shen family compound in Tiannan City.

Home is where the heart is.
A passage flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind.

When the group arrived at the gate of Dawan Village, Han Qinhu and his men were already there to greet them.

Shen Changchuan didn't care much about this and directly asked the other party what had happened in the village during his absence.

Fortunately, there was no bad news.

The village remains the same as always.

Peaceful and stable

They did not encounter any enemy attacks.
The Gale Falcon that Shen Changchuan was most worried about before leaving did not appear.

This made Shen Changchuan nod, and he felt a little relieved.

Despite the enormous unexpected gains Shen Changchuan made on this trip, the harvest he earned from his hard work farming was far less when converted into spirit stones.

But the former is unexpected wealth.

The latter is a stable flow of income, which is its foundation.

He won hundreds of thousands in the lottery.

That doesn't mean you can quit a job with a monthly salary of 5,000.

In particular, with its own reforms, the Lingtian farming in Dawancun village has seen further increases in income and a bright future.
Shen Changchuan naturally didn't want any accidents to happen.

　I've been busy these past two days, and I'm exhausted and sleepy when I got back, so I can only update one chapter. I'll resume two updates tomorrow, and maybe try three.
