My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Zinan introduced, "If Mr. Xiao wants them, I have more than twenty here, you can just trade some elixir pills with me, no need for spirit stones."

"Alright, I'll take these."

Chen Sansi and the others completed the transaction on the spot.

Afterwards, he casually asked, "How did Miss Zinan end up here?"

"Oh."

Zinan explained, "Mr. Xiao might not know, I've always been renting the fire veins here."

The Bai Family, at any rate, is a family with True Power Perfect Martial Artists, so naturally, they have their own business. However, because Dusk Valley is not large, they can't lease to outside Loose Cultivators, which causes a lack of popularity and naturally, the business isn't that good.

But some trades are slightly cheaper, so there are still cultivators willing to travel a certain distance to save some expenses.

Chen Sansi and the others, on their way, simply returned to Xiao Bamboo Peak together.

Upon arriving at Daze Fang City, he noticed that the number of patrols had increased, and the frequency was also greatly enhanced, with crowds gathering around the notice board at the entrance, looking at something.

"Mr. Xiao just came out of seclusion, perhaps he doesn't know?"

Zinan informed, "Recently, some devil cultivators have infiltrated Beiyang Dao, killing many Loose Cultivators, and even people near Daze Fang City were affected."

"Devil cultivators?"

Chen Sansi asked, "Demon Slaying Sect?"

Having been here for so long, he more or less heard some news about the Demon Sect. Currently, the whole Southern Zhanbu Continent is under the dominion of various major sects of the Demon Sect, and it's said that all beings are but blood meals.

Aside from this, there are also some scattered devil cultivators within Sky Water Continent, among which the "Demon Slaying Sect" is quite known.

"Who knows."

Zinan said solemnly, "Mr. Xiao, if you're traveling back and forth recently, please be careful, after all, you only have Qi Refining cultivation."

"Hmm, thanks for the reminder."

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the foot of Xiao Bamboo Peak, just in time to meet a burly cultivator walking towards them.

"Daoist Xiao, Daoist Zi, long time no see!"

As he walked, there was a soldier in pitch-black armor following him, but it wasn't a living person, it was puppetry technique carved from wood.

This person is known as Banshan Wanderer, with Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivation, he makes a living by hunting spiritual beasts, possessing a second-tier Puppetry Technique.

Even within sect families, Foundation Establishment cultivators are one in a million, and the difficulty of Foundation Establishment for Loose Cultivators needs no further explanation.

Therefore, anyone who succeeds in Foundation Establishment as a Loose Cultivator either has unique skills or secrets, or possesses excellent qualification.

On Xiao Bamboo Peak, a total of five people live.

Chen Sansi, Zinan, Banshan Wanderer, Qu Lingchuan, and Deng Wuchang.

The latter two, one serves at the Law Enforcement Hall, the other is a "sword catcher," extremely skilled in magical combat.

After more than a year of association, the five of them are considered familiar with each other. Whenever there's time, they would gather to have a drink and exchange information.

Sword catcher Deng Wuchang is a rare Martial Arts Loose Cultivator. His greatest dream is to enter Sky Water Continent to kill the Emperor Tianwu, as the various sects have raised the bounty to a level allowing any Foundation Establishment cultivator to establish a family, with no one daring to infringe upon it.

For this reason, he often tries to pull a few people together, and since they can't enter Foundation Establishment, he frequently seeks out Chen Sansi, willing to provide elixir pills and magic artifacts.

"Daoist Xiao."

Banshan Wanderer, straightforward in nature, said boldly, "The bowstring materials you're looking for, I haven't encountered yet, it may take a bit longer!"

"No hurry, thank you Daoist."

Chen Sansi cupped his hands in farewell to the two, returning to his cave mansion.

The first thing he did was to take advantage of the night to purchase materials and then refine elixir pills.

[Skill: Alchemy (Second-tier)]

[Progress: 88/1000]

Spirit Cleansing Pill!

Each pill's raw materials alone are worth over a hundred spirit stones, and if brought to the market, could even sell for five hundred spirit stones each!

In other words.

The Bai Family spent a large amount of spirit stones just for him to experiment!

Though the Bai Family seems to be declining, they are actually still quite wealthy.

Even Chen Sansi would never dare waste resources so lavishly.

With experience in alchemy at Dusk Valley, he flawlessly refined a Spirit Cleansing Pill, and after consuming it, he immediately began cultivating.

In the True Power Realm, the further one progresses, the slower the cultivation speed becomes.

Because each time the physical body is cleansed with spiritual power, it needs to pass through each opened Eight Scenic God, and tempering the lower Eight Scenic Gods now requires first going through the upper middle sixteen Scenic Gods.

The purpose of the Spirit Cleansing Pill is to accelerate the circulation process.

With this pill, cultivation speed can be increased by at least one-third!

But unfortunately,

After half a month of seclusion, Chen Sansi had to leave and return to Sky Water Continent. As a heavenly son, it's impossible for him not to attend court daily.

Accumulating several months of government affairs, while Xu Wencai is there to handle things, leaving it for too long would be problematic.

This was also one of his hesitations about becoming an emperor in the first place, it takes up so much time.

Sometimes when a problem arises in a particular area, Chen Sansi would personally fly to the scene, and with the Divine Continent's vast territory, coming and going would take over ten days.

He once considered buying a puppet from Banshan Wanderer, but ordinary puppets lose contact when they're a certain distance from their master, so he ultimately had to handle things personally.

Before descending the mountain, Chen Sansi went to the adjacent high-grade cave mansion gathering area in the mountains and found Old Mo Zhu, handing over some first-rank elixirs.

That old man, with Qi Refining Middle Stage and only mid-grade attainment in talismans, after deducting costs, earns just over a hundred spirit stones annually, but is still resolutely using them all to lease a high-grade cave mansion.
