My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Zhangsun Miao?

Even though the person only showed their back, based on Chen Sansi's eyesight developed step by step using the Qi Observation Skill, coupled with the person's mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, he was ninety percent sure it was them.

This person had just been chased out of the Bai Family not long ago. To think they'd appear this quickly in the Li Family Square Market—did they come seeking collaboration, or was there another reason?

Chen Sansi carefully recalled, always feeling that today, whether concerning the Bai Family or Zhangsun Miao, something seemed peculiar. Perhaps the Medicine Valley was not that simple.

Forget it.

This was none of his business.

Chen Sansi didn't think too deeply and continued with his matters. After purchasing some useful items for closed-door training, he started cultivating again.

Every time he returned to the Han Dynasty, due to the insufficient grade of the Spirit Vein, his cultivation progress was slow. Only when at Xiaozhufeng could he use the second-tier Spirit Vein.

Another period of closed-door training passed.

Time flew by like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, it was September of the sixth year of Tian Wu.

Under Chen Sansi's day and night cultivation, he finally made a breakthrough in the Martial Arts Realm.

A Longdan Bright Silver Spear was already one with him. Wielding it was like controlling the universe, indistinguishable between human and weapon.

This Longdan Bright Silver Spear is a second-tier Martial Arts Weapon, and its quality can later be improved by melting materials into it.

For now, it's still sufficient.

Chen Sansi used Martial Arts techniques and Pile Work matched with the Breathing Skill to incorporate second-tier Spiritual Energy into his body, then passed it through a complex Circulation, transmitting through layers of Jing Shen to the lower Jing Shen.

Until the lower part of his abdominal cavity, the mysterious light became increasingly bright. This mysterious light was mainly red, supplemented by yellow, known as the fusion of red and yellow.

The Great and Small Intestine Gods, named Peng Song Liu, styled Daochu, length two inches and one minute, dressed in red and yellow!

[Cultivation Technique: Dragon Scripture (True Power Middle Stage)]

[Progress: 188/500]

To reach the True Power Late Stage, he still needed to open five more Jing Shen. Who knows how many years that would take. Fortunately, he now had the Spirit Cleansing Pill to assist him, which should greatly enhance his progress.

But with Foundation Establishment ahead, it was already an inevitable matter.

During the next period, it was almost time to start inquiring through what channels to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Closed-door training came to an end.

Chen Sansi returned to the Han Dynasty again, but this time he stayed only a month to complete his political duties before returning immediately.

Running back and forth like this was ultimately troublesome!

He couldn't help but regret the time wasted on traveling back and forth.

"Mr. Xiao!"

On this afternoon, as soon as Chen Sansi finished his closed-door training, a bell rang. He opened the door to his Cave Mansion and saw a rugged man standing outside.

Behind the man stood a soldier covered in pitch-black armor, without a face under the helmet, holding a long-handled battle axe.

The Banshan Wanderer said in a straightforward manner: "Mr. Xiao, I've found the bowstring material you wanted, a second-tier demon beast, but I'll need you to do me a favor first."

"Second-tier demon beast..."

Chen Sansi said with difficulty, "A spiritual beast at the Mystic Body Realm corresponds to the Foundation Establishment Realm. I am still merely a Late Stage Qi Refinement cultivator and am not particularly skilled at spell fighting. Are you sure you're asking me to assist and not to cause trouble?"

"You won't need to spell fight!"

The Banshan Wanderer shouted in a loud voice: "The name of this second-tier spiritual beast is the Red-winged Snake, and I found the location of its cave with great difficulty.

"But this creature can fly. Without any obstruction, it would disappear in the blink of an eye. Someone needs to block it slightly in the air for a moment.

"So, I want to ask you to lead my puppet to fly in the air, so that my puppet can strike it down. It's that simple!

"Once it's done, I won't ask you for any Spirit Stones, just some elixirs. How about it?"

"..."

Chen Sansi himself was originally a hunter. The reason he didn't go himself was mainly due to being busy. Entering the deep mountains would take half a month's time back and forth, and there was also a degree of danger. So, he thought it best not to go if possible.

But now it seems, this old occupation is hard to shake off.

He thought for a moment, then agreed: "Alright, if we encounter any danger, please take good care of me, Daoist."

"No worries!"

The Banshan Wanderer patted his chest and said: "With my brother and my Lifebound Puppet accompanying, nothing will harm you!"

"Good."

Chen Sansi closed the Cave Mansion: "Daoist, please wait for me for a moment while I return some owed elixir pills to Daoist Qu, and then we can set out."

"Mr. Xiao, don't waste time!"

The Banshan Wanderer urged, "Others have also taken notice of that place. If we delay, it might be taken care of by someone else!"

"In such a hurry?"

Chen Sansi's gaze flickered, but he agreed without showing any expression: "Then let's set out right away."

The two set off together, leaving Daze Fang City, heading straight for Chiling Mountain.

In recent three years, due to strong demands from more and more loose cultivators nearby, several major sects finally agreed to waive the entrance Spirit Stone, attracting more loose cultivators to try hunting in the mountains.

Chiling Mountain was vast and boundless, connecting to the Great Wilderness in the far south. The deeper one went, the higher the realm of demon beasts one would encounter.

Therefore, although there were Spirit Veins deep in the mountains, no cultivators dared to cultivate there. Staying too long would easily lead to being surrounded and killed.

The reason Chen Sansi came was firstly for the bowstring, and secondly to capture some young spiritual beasts to take back to the Han Dynasty to breed cavalry.

He could grant his Spiritual Pet the Ancestor Return ability, but ultimately there were numerical limits. It was still better to directly capture some younglings.

"Mounts?"

The Banshan Wanderer joked, "There are plenty of spiritual beasts suitable as mounts, but Mr. Xiao, why don't you just go buy some? Capturing them is quite a hassle!"

"Frankly speaking."

Chen Sansi found an excuse and said: "I'm also considering developing in the 'Beast Taming' path, which will be useful for exchanging resources in the future. After all, relying solely on Alchemy is still quite meager in terms of resources for a loose cultivator."
