My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Less than a year remained.

But by then, dawdling could delay matters by several months.

That meant he had more than a year to break through the True Power Realm, as long as he could find some heavenly treasures. There should be enough time, but he must hurry.

This time,

Chen Sansi didn't let Ning Xiang follow.

Instead, he asked her to watch the house. Being a cultivator too, she could be somewhat useful in certain situations.

Meng Quji, who had been hiding in the shadows, strongly requested to join him on this outing.

Speaking of which,

Chen Sansi had recently exchanged letters with Deng Feng, who also seemed close to breaking through to the Martial Saint Realm. Together with a sixth apprentice brother, Wang Zhi, soon he would have three Martial Saints by his side.

After announcing his retreat, he left the details of the trip to the south to Qin Changxu, who had handled them last time.

This man was highly efficient in his work.

In just one day, everything was ready.

Before dawn the next day, Chen Sansi led a horse and a fool quietly away from Liangzhou City. They arrived at the nearest dock, boarded a ship, and headed south directly toward the ends of the earth.

On the ship,

he began his alchemy.

He planned to refine all the remaining materials for the Fasting Pills, Nourishing Pills, and True Martial Pills.

Once in the Cultivation World, he could exchange them for some spirit stones.

In the end,

he obtained forty-five Fasting Pills, valued at nine spirit stones.

Ten Nourishing Pills, valued at twenty spirit stones.

One True Martial Pill, valued at two hundred spirit stones.

Beyond that,

Chen Sansi still had a copy of the Incense Fire Divine Dao cultivation method.

It was of no use to him; he could use it as currency if necessary.

"Buzz—"

The last Fasting Pill was produced.

Chen Sansi walked out of the cabin.

Qin Changxu was sitting on the deck fishing, with several lively carp thrashing about in a basket at his side.

"Hey, you, get up,"

he said hesitantly, "Let me fish for a while."

"Right away, Commander,"

Qin Changxu hurriedly got up.

Chen Sansi took a deep breath and confidently sat down.

That sit.

lasted a whole half-day.

"Heh~"

Qin Changxu approached, "Maybe I should change your fishing rod, there are plenty more in the cabin."

"I've known there was something wrong with this fishing rod,"

said Chen Sansi, glancing at him, "No need to change it. I'm just passing the time. When we dock later for a rest, remember to find out the latest news from the south, see if there are any big changes."

"Okay,"

Qin Changxu left to carry out the order.

Chen Sansi waited until they had all disembarked before he silently returned to the cabin, picked another fishing rod, but still caught nothing.

"Are you meditating?"

Zhaozhao, who had just woken up from a nap, saw the White Robe sitting motionlessly and rubbed her eyes as she asked.

"..."

Chen Sansi waved his hand, "Fool, come here."

"What for?"

After Zhaozhao came closer and looked at the fishing rod, "Fishing? What's the fun in that?"

"Just fish if I tell you to fish!"

Chen Sansi said as he shoved the equipment into her hands.

"Oh, boring,"

muttered Zhaozhao, taking the gear.

Before long, the float trembled.

She leisurely reeled in, catching a large catfish weighing about seven or eight jin, "Is it supposed to be done like this?"

"..."

Chen Sansi's eyes twitched imperceptibly.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"

Zhaozhao watched as the White Robe snatched the fishing rod, broke it in half, and threw everything, including her caught catfish, into the river, puffing her cheeks up in anger, "You're really sick."

Not long after,

Qin Changxu returned with some intelligence, "Commander, there are indeed some developments."

"Speak."

Chen Sansi personally poured him a cup of tea.

"Thank you, Commander,"

Qin Changxu drank it all in one gulp, then reported, "There are Immortals similar to 'Qu Yuanxiang' now not only in our Great Sheng, but also in Nan Xu and West Qi, and according to intelligence gathered by undercover agents from the Governor Mansion scattered around, these 'Immortals' are not from the same power and also have disputes among themselves."

"Not from the same power?"

Chen Sansi quickly understood.

These cultivators flooded into the Eastern Continent.

The goal was nothing other than to find spirit veins.

And such extremely precious resources as spirit veins would inevitably attract the competition of major sects.

He guessed.

In the Sky Water Continent,

these sects might have even already "divided" the land of the Eastern Continent, each sect affiliating with a court to search for spirit veins on that land.

"Nan Xu has had the most changes recently."

Qin Changxu continued, "Just four days ago, the Old Emperor of Nan Xu died; after an internal strife, Fan Shuzhen ascended to the throne with the help of Zhong Hu and an Immortal Master."

"We're going to pass by Liangshan as well, and its power is growing. Prince Cao Rong recently commanded troops himself, preparing to personally eradicate bandits, but he suddenly went into retreat, apparently because the court awarded him a new cultivation method. By the way, Prince Cao Rong is known as both a Martial Arts genius and fanatic, something you might have heard of, Lord Governor."

"Cultivation Method."

Chen Sansi associated it with the cultivation method the fourth apprentice brother promised to the court.

It's impossible that he actually gave the "Dragon Scripture" to the court?

Perhaps, it was some other cultivation method.

His brother left without specifying, but he must have his own plans, so there was no need for Chen Sansi to worry too much."

"The situation at Liangshan is also quite complex,"

added Qin Changxu, "On one hand, Nan Xu wants to directly incorporate them into their own court, using them to pave the way to attack our Great Sheng Dynasty. On the other hand, Prince Cao Rong is advancing his troops while continuously offering terms of amnesty, which seems to be the final ultimatum."

"Based on previous circumstances, Liangshan has always been cooperating with Nan Xu; theoretically, they should lean toward Nan Xu."
