My Cultivation Starting from Archery

After crossing the sword forest and blade mountain, the view ahead opens up widely.

Looking around, the rising and falling mountains are shrouded in a pale yellow mist, and from time to time, unknown spiritual beasts soar through the sky. Spiritual Power fluctuations are constantly emanating from all directions.

"Demons!"

"Kill them..."

"..."

Chen Sansi had not walked more than five miles when he encountered a group of ghosts.

The number of blue wandering souls totaled seven or eight, appearing as fragmented human shapes, all wielding flying swords, rushing forward as they sensed living people.

"The Three Realms and Six Paths, all ruined by you demons!"

"Return our Daoist Inheritance!"

"You..."

"Demons..."

"..."

With fierce expressions, they wielded Sword Control Technique, continuously roaring throughout the process. But whether due to the residual soul state or other reasons, their speech was broken and indistinct.

"Whoosh——"

Deng Wuchang's blade was unsheathed, splitting into two, one gold and one purple, one long and one short, as his Breathing Skill activated, his body inflated like a balloon, his special battle robe tightly clinging to his robust physique, hands turning into beast claws, his face becoming beastly.

Lion Hair Deer Horn, camel head and tiger ears, his entire body was dazzling gold, with neat scales arranged over his flesh.

The Beast Breathing Skill!

Similar to the Sima clan.

What Deng Wuchang cultivated was the Golden Hou Breathing Method!

His feet stomped, sinking the ground several inches. His body transformed into golden light, swiftly charging into the ghost's ranks. The twin blade technique, combined with coherent True Power, became a sharp tornado, wiping out all the residual souls swiftly.

Throughout the ordeal, Chen Sansi didn't even lift a finger, simply praising, "Brother Deng, good Saber Technique."

"Indeed."

Deng Wuchang showed no false modesty, reverting to his Human Race form: "Luckily, these residual souls only had Qi Refinement cultivation, I heard secluded places appeared with residual souls near Golden Core cultivation early on. Who knows what may be inside a Second-tier forbidden land, best be cautious moving forward."

After crossing several jungles, they found a slope filled with Second-tier Spirit Plant.

"Hiss!"

Deng Wuchang winced, "My storage bag is full, Mr. Xiao, can you lend me one?"

In this Secret Realm abundant with treasures, storage bag values far exceed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures alone.

Chen Sansi had prepared well; over the years, he had obtained numerous storage bags as spoils of war, bringing thirteen with him on this forbidden land trip.

Without reluctance, he handed over two, "Brother Deng, no need to rush, unless meeting something exceedingly rare, it's unnecessary to waste space."

"Many thanks!"

Ignoring etiquette, Deng Wuchang immediately filled the storage bag right away.

Chen Sansi, however, selected only high-aged herbs, leaving the remainder to the blue bird to relay the information for Sky Wall City's Colonels to collect later.

Soon after crossing the slope, he found the "Dragon Bone Wood," intended for crafting warships, located exactly where his research indicated.

The tree appeared as countless bones tied together, with dragon-scale-like bark, over eight hundred years old, suitable for creating large ferries accommodating two thousand.

Yet, it was too large to fit even in Second-tier Storage Bags. Cutting it into pieces would waste precious material.

Chen Sansi didn't hurry; prepared to summon subordinates to carry it out.

An hour passed waiting.

Deng Wuchang grew anxious, seeing a valuable spiritual beast passing by in the distance, eager to chase.

"If Brother Deng wants to go, just be safe."

Chen Sansi handed him a sensing charm, wearing it to perceive each other's summons and location, as effective as precious Sound Transmission Talisman.

This charm was purchased from Old Mo Zhu.

"Alright."

Deng Wuchang tucked the charm in his chest, "Rest assured, I'm honorable; I won't break my word for fortune, I'll return to assist you."

Cherishing prospect, Chen Sansi watched him leave.

He wasn't overly trusting, but some matters are futile in forcing, especially in fights or kills, deliberate force risks contrary outcome, thus he allows natural flow.

This chance could reveal the sword catcher's integrity after all.

Another hour passed waiting.

Finally arriving was Song Guizhi leading her team.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Take this Dragon Bone Wood back."

Chen Sansi instructed, slicing the tree down with a sword.

"Yes, Sir!"

Sky Wall City's Colonels complied immediately.

The Dragon Bone Wood was valuable, not excessively rare, unsuitable for crafting offensive Magic Artifacts, Song Guizhi's escort suffices.

"Little Bamboo, this Ten Thousand Soul Banner..."

Noticing the eunuch's Magic Artifact suddenly, Chen Sansi realized the forbidden land was abundant with residual souls, especially from Ancient Times, an ideal site for refining the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

"I've collected a hundred souls."

Dongfang Jingxing beamed, "At my current limit, I'd like to request to leave the forbidden land early, focusing on soul refinement."

"Permission granted."

Chen Sansi approved.

Sky Wall City's young Colonels' cultivation was modest, the trial aimed at cultivation enhancement, not leading them to their deaths.

He left a bottle of Elixir Pills for the eunuch, then ventured solo deeper into the forbidden land, searching for one of the goals of this journey—the Phoenix Stone Beast.
