My Cultivation Starting from Archery

"..."

After Chen Sansi left Medicine Valley, he concealed himself in a deserted place until he confirmed that all of Dusk Valley was safe before returning to his Cave Mansion.

Before he reached the place, he saw a figure waiting at the entrance.

"Family Head Bai."

After greeting, Chen Sansi straightforwardly said, "I already know about today's matter. If it involves me implicating the Bai Family, I can choose not to return."

"Daoist Xiao, you jest."

Bai Liangbi gently shook his head and said, "The search was just a pretense. Even without you, they would have found other reasons to break in. You cannot be blamed for this.

"But speaking of it, Daoist, you actually have connections with people from the Demon Slaying Sect and the Eastern Continent?"

A few days ago.

The commotion caused by that group was indeed significant, killing more than a hundred righteous Beiyang Dao cultivators, almost considered the biggest case in a century.

In the past, even when Evil Cultivators caused trouble, it was basically a game of "cat and mouse," hiding throughout the day; where would they dare to come out openly to confront?

"To deal with the Li family, relying on me alone is naturally impossible."

Chen Sansi candidly said, "The Demon Slaying Sect and the Divine Continent are forces not to be ignored. In fact, I suggest to Family Head Bai that if one day the situation spirals out of control and there's no retreat, perhaps consider withdrawing to the Great Han's side."

"No need for Daoist Xiao to recruit them; cooperation is possible, but submission is absolutely out of question."

Bai Liangbi calmly stated, "First, the Eastern Continent's Spiritual Energy is scarce; if we cultivators fall there, we would only struggle to survive.

"Secondly, the Shengyun Sect has been busy with the sealing matter, and it is estimated that the seal will be opened in the coming years. By then, the sect will flood in, and they themselves may be unable to secure their own safety, let alone shelter others?

"Moreover, I also do not suggest Daoist Xiao to get too close to those mortals; they are, at most, only a Foundation Establishment Level family, and cannot achieve much.

"I have sent a message to the Qingxu Sect, and I believe that someone will be sent soon. By that time, our Bai family might move as a whole, and I hope Daoist Xiao can follow.

"After relocation, all conditions will only be better than those in Dusk Valley, not worse. Daoist Xiao should think it over carefully."

"Relocation?"

Chen Sansi, unable to inquire further, could only say, "I will consider it carefully."

"Since you know what happened during the day, you must also know about the Divine Wood Spirit Liquid."

Bai Liangbi said, "To express our sincerity, the Bai family can help Daoist cultivate a Spirit Plant with a thousand-year medicinal age."

Chen Sansi knew this was their way of trying to retain him.

He was not polite either: "Then I won't decline."

"Once you decide what you want, just let me know."

Bai Liangbi did not say more and brushed past him, disappearing quickly.

"..."

Chen Sansi looked at the footprints left by the other party, feeling that something was amiss.

"Something's strange."

He had already noticed something was off when he was in Medicine Valley.

It must be known that the conflicts between the Bai family and the Demon Suppression Department were not just a day or two old; similar situations had occurred years back.

In the past two years, these people have clearly shown a desire to obtain the Bai family's treasures while not daring to let the Shengyun Sect know the inside story.

Since they had meticulously planned for so long, why would they recklessly storm Dusk Valley, attracting the Shengyun Sect, exposing everything all at once?

Either they were so foolish they didn't foresee the Shengyun Sect's arrival, or...

It was intentional!

The two parties reached a certain understanding, using this method to deceive the Shengyun Sect.

In other words, the so-called Nine-Color Divine Wood Spirit Liquid was just a smokescreen; the Bai family's true clan treasure had not been exposed.

Realizing this, Chen Sansi was somewhat surprised.

Because the Divine Wood Spirit Liquid was already immensely valuable, and just the half bottle seen today was enough to forge more than two Golden Core Cultivators.

If they were still hiding something, it could only mean the item was more precious than the Divine Wood Spirit Liquid.

What could be more valuable than something that guarantees the cultivation of Golden Cores?

No wonder the undercurrents in Beiyang Dao were surging; probably most of the reasons were aimed at this item.

Combining what Chen Sansi knew, the Bai family, the Li family, and the Demon Suppression Department were negotiating, likely discussing the division of the true treasure, which, for now, was not agreed upon.

If this is the case, then the chaos is far from over.

What happens next will depend on what the Qingxu Sect does.

Because the message conveyed by the Bai family was clear: they wanted to offer the item to the Qingxu Sect in exchange for protection.

If the Qingxu Sect truly sends someone here, Chen Sansi might try to make contact to see if he can seek reinforcements, even if unwilling to help, attempting to secure a retreat for the court's core personnel through the Qingxu Sect, such as a hidden hiding place.

No one in the world can guarantee victory; one must always act with the belief of success.

Presently, Chen Sansi needs to prepare for two things: first, the control of the Transmission Array in Daze Fang City, and second, the preparation for the imminent Nine Nether Forbidden Land trial.

Without hesitation, after disguising himself, he arrived at Daze Fang City with a new face, intending to arrange a meeting with Xiaozhu Peak's Qu Lingchuan through Loose Cultivator Mo Zhu but did not find the old man at the usual stall, so he had to wait at the residence.

It wasn't until dusk that he saw Mo Zhu slowly walking over holding a wine gourd.

After not seeing each other for some time, the old man had become even more aged, walking with a hunched body, with robes showing signs of damage, as if he had been in a fight not long ago.
