Chapter 29: Farewell
“What?”
“You’re leaving this place?”
“Is there danger?”
“What kind of danger?”
“Oh no!”
The sudden appearance of the big white mouse and the golden-haired mouse before Wang Chen was not without reason.
After a challenging exchange filled with miscommunication between humans and mice, Wang Chen finally grasped the couple’s intentions.
They felt that this place was no longer safe.
They were preparing to move.
Now, they had come to bid farewell to Wang Chen.
Moreover, Little White hinted that Wang Chen should consider leaving with them.
Leave this place?
Go where?
Wang Chen couldn’t help but feel a sense of bewilderment.
He trusted the big white mouse.
But the problem was, in this vast world, aside from this small home, where else could he find a place to belong?
Though this area was the outermost part of the Yunyang Spirit Land and under the protection of the sect,
the Dingyang Bell in Yunshan City tolled twelve times a day, warding off Evil Spirits without fail.
The original owner had been a spiritual plant farmer for five years and had only heard rumors from neighbors about Evil Spirits causing harm.
As for magical beasts, they were rarely seen.
Cultivators had to venture deep into the Tianyun Mountain range to hunt magical beasts.
Additionally, disciples from Wei Hall patrolled within the mountain gates.
Thus, as long as one didn’t stir up trouble and focused on tending the spirit fields, it was relatively safe.
But once outside the mountain gates, the situation was entirely different!
Wang Shaoyuan had warned him many times about the dangers of the outside world.
Every year, numerous disciples of the Yunyang Sect went missing during their expeditions, hunts, treasure hunts, and missions.
They vanished without a trace!
Wang Chen couldn’t simply abandon his nearly ripe ten acres of spirit fields to wander the outside world as a loose cultivator, could he?
He was only at the fourth realm of Qi Training.
He hadn’t even mastered the most basic protective spell, “Spirit Light Shield,” and his storage bag contained only two spirit stones, with a pitifully small supply of talismans and elixirs.
How could he possibly survive and protect himself in the perilous and unpredictable outside world?
As for the idea of moving to the safer Yunshan City or the inner sect, it was simply unrealistic.
Living in Yunshan was no easy feat.
Even the most basic accommodations in the city’s guesthouses, such as a spot in the large hall, cost a spirit fragment per night.
Sleeping on the streets would result in being captured and forced into hard labor.
The cost of a house in the city was astronomical, far beyond what Wang Chen could currently afford.
As for the inner sect…
Wang Chen didn’t even dare to entertain the thought!
He couldn’t help but pat the big white mouse on the head and sighed, “Little White, you’ve really given me a tough problem to solve!”
After surviving a Calamity, all Wang Chen wanted was to engage in quiet cultivation, live a low-profile life, and gradually improve his strength through farming.
He never imagined that such a simple wish would be so difficult to fulfill.
“Ziziz.”
The big white mouse seemed to understand Wang Chen’s emotions and gently touched his palm with its nose, offering comfort.
Wang Chen clenched his fist and said, “I understand, thank you!”
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, he decided to play it by ear and act according to the situation.
Wang Chen led Little White and its partner to the kitchen.
He took out about thirty pounds of magical beast meat from his storage bag, cut it into pieces, blanched it, and stewed it into fragrant jerky.
Once the jerky was ready, he packed it along with fifty catties of spiritual grains into the small storage bag.
He tied the bag to the golden-haired mouse—carrying the load was naturally the partner’s responsibility.
“Little White, once you’ve settled into your new home, just chew through the bag,” Wang Chen instructed the big white mouse. “The grains and meat inside should be enough to help you get through the winter.”
Once a storage bag was damaged, all its contents would spill out.
Little White had saved Wang Chen’s life, and this was the best way he could think of to repay the favor.
“Ziziz!”
The big white mouse stood on its hind legs and nudged Wang Chen’s hand with its paws, its eyes glistening with emotion.
It was clear that the mouse was also reluctant to part with Wang Chen.
Wang Chen waved his hand and said, “Go on.”
Little White and its partner left, disappearing into the dark tunnel of the mouse hole behind the woodpile.
Wang Chen was left with a deep sense of emptiness.
Although they had not known each other for long,
Wang Chen already considered Little White as his Family in his heart.
Unfortunately, things did not go as desired.
It was only at night that Wang Chen completely dispelled the melancholy brought by their parting.
He pondered carefully.
The danger that Little White had warned him about was not imminent.
Under the current circumstances, with no better way out, all he could do was strive to enhance his strength and accumulate the means to protect himself!
Perhaps it was because he felt a surge of determination within him.
That night, Wang Chen once again focused all his energy on visualizing the True Form image from the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method, and surprisingly, he quickly grasped a hint of the profound mysteries of the Great Might Heavenly Dragon!
The Great Might Heavenly Dragon is one of the protectors of the Buddhist faith, possessing unmatched physical strength and excelling in the ability of Slaying Demons and Eliminating Evil Spirits.
The first three levels of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method are: Bronze Skin, Jade Bone, and Golden Body.
After mastering these, one could not only withstand the impact of magical artifacts but also resist the corruption of Evil Spirits!
It was undoubtedly a highly advanced body-refining technique.
If this technique had no hidden pitfalls, Wang Chen could not have possibly acquired it for just thirty spirit stones.
However, comprehending the mysteries of the Heavenly Dragon did not mean he had truly entered the realm.
The Cultivation Panel showed no indication of it.
He took out the bottle of Vajra Ghee.
People could cultivate three kinds of strength: vital energy, magical power, and soul.
Vital energy refers to the strength derived from one’s blood.
The purpose of Vajra Ghee is to stimulate vital energy to the greatest extent, enhancing the effectiveness of body cultivation.
Wang Chen took off all the clothes he was wearing.
He poured out the golden ghee from the bottle and evenly applied it all over his body, not even sparing his scalp.
Then he repeatedly patted his body to hasten the absorption of the ghee’s medicinal properties into his skin and muscles.
As the medicine spread through him, Wang Chen suddenly felt as if he were placed into a furnace of purgatory.
Every inch of his skin, every muscle, trembled involuntarily.
His bones felt like they were crawling with ants, his blood flow surged, and his temperature soared.
In a moment, Wang Chen resembled a cooked shrimp, his skin turning a deep red!
Numbness, itching, soreness, and pain…
Various sensations ravaged within his body, greatly testing his will!
Wang Chen struggled to maintain his consciousness, following the entry spell from the first layer of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method, guiding the vital energy awakened by the ghee throughout his body.
His muscles kept contracting and expanding, beads of sweat pouring from his pores.
In the end, he even oozed tiny drops of blood bead!
He pushed himself to endure further.
He didn’t know how long it had been when Wang Chen suddenly felt a lightness throughout his entire body, and all the pain and strange sensations disappeared without a trace.
[Body +1]
A new change appeared in the techniques section of the Cultivation Panel.
[Technique]:
Main: Five Element Technique (Level Four): 8/400
Sub: Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method (Level One): 0/100
The recently learned Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method was not classified as a skill, but rather as a technique.
This meant that improving the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method required consuming Heavenly Merit.
However, Wang Chen had no time to focus on the changes in the Cultivation Panel.
He was keenly experiencing the enhancements and changes that this technique brought him!
