Chapter 293: A Journey Again
【Preheaven Five Element Technique · Experience +1】
Inside the cave dwelling, Wang Chen opened his eyes while sitting cross-legged on the ground.
In his vision, a message had just flashed by.
It wasn’t easy!
Over two months ago, Wang Chen had mastered the entry spell of the Preheaven Five Element Technique, allowing him to replace the original Five Element Technique with this Purple Palace technique as his primary focus.
Now, he could finally consider himself a true Purple Palace cultivator.
However, after two months, Wang Chen faced numerous challenges in advancing his Preheaven Five Element Technique.
His progress was painstakingly slow.
He practiced diligently every day, yet often only gained 1 experience point every three to five days.
As of now, he had accumulated a mere 12 experience points!
Moreover, as his training deepened, Wang Chen increasingly felt the inadequacy of his own talent.
His current root bone and comprehension attributes were clearly insufficient at the Purple Palace level!
Nevertheless, Wang Chen’s two months of cultivation were not in vain.
Now, the magical power condensed in his Qi Sea had taken on a jade-like state, and his cultivation level had significantly strengthened since he first reached the Purple Palace, allowing him to cast spells with greater ease and precision.
His combat ability had also improved accordingly.
It was time to leave!
Wang Chen rose and exited the cave dwelling, heading to the management office to handle the lease termination procedures.
His lease had expired, and he had no intention of renewing it.
As Wang Chen finished and stepped out of the management office, a cultivator blocked his path.
It was Qiu Haoran.
This Purple Palace cultivator wore a complex expression: "Wang fellow traveler, have you truly reconsidered?"
Wang Chen smiled and gave a slight bow: “Qiu fellow traveler, the green mountains remain unchanged, and the rivers flow endlessly; we shall part ways without a future meeting!”
During his two-month stay in the North Mountain Cave Dwelling, this Purple Palace cultivator had visited him several times, eager to recruit him into the Qiu family.
Once, he had even brought along a captivating female cultivator.
Yet, no matter what conditions were offered, even the allure of a beauty, Wang Chen remained unmoved.
And now, Qiu Haoran still refused to give up!
To be honest, Wang Chen couldn’t help but admire the man’s persistence.
Unfortunately, he had no plans to remain in the City of Ten Thousand Cultivators, let alone join the Qiu family.
As Wang Chen walked past him, Qiu Haoran instinctively reached out to stop him.
But just as his hand extended, he quickly withdrew it.
He shook his head in resignation.
Forced fruit is not sweet. Wang Chen was determined to leave, and even if he could be forced to stay, what would be the point?
A Purple Palace cultivator cannot be easily restrained.
Wang Chen paid no heed to Qiu Haoran’s thoughts; he made his way to the Four Seas Trading Association and sought out Manager Jin.
After paying twenty thousand spirit stones, Wang Chen received a golden talisman.
This was a ticket, and not just any ticket—it was for the VIP cabin!
Two months prior, Wang Chen had reserved a cabin on a colossal ship through Manager Jin.
The destination was the Yulong Mountain Range, over two hundred thousand miles away!
The ticket was costly, but it guaranteed a swift and safe journey to the southern foothills of the Yulong Mountain Range.
It would save him a great deal of time.
Manager Jin reminded him, “Boarding is at the hour of the dragon tomorrow. We won’t wait beyond that, so please inform your fellow cultivators.”
Wang Chen nodded.
He had already waited two months, spent a fortune in spirit stones, and there was no chance he would miss it, even without the reminder.
In addition to the ticket, Wang Chen also purchased a Purple Palace spell at the Four Seas Trading Association.
It was the Fire Crow Technique!
The Fire Crow Technique was an advanced spell of the Fire Crow Technique. Wang Chen primarily harnessed fire, and this spell not only possessed immense power but also allowed him to maximize his strength.
It was essential to master.
Additionally, Wang Chen acquired a book titled “True Explanation of the Upper Clear Spiritual Symbols Atlas.”
This hefty tome contained illustrations of seventy-two second-level spiritual symbols and one hundred seventy-nine true seal characters.
Both the illustrations and the true seal characters were far more intricate than those in the “Basic Talismans Illustrated” that Wang Chen had previously studied.
However, this book would enable him to grasp higher-level talisman-making skills.
It was equally indispensable.
For Purple Palace cultivators, only second-level spiritual symbols could match their cultivation level.
After all, opponents at the Purple Palace level were often other Purple Palace cultivators or those of equivalent strength; first-tier talismans were nearly useless in battles at this level.
With a ticket, a spell, and a book of talismans, Wang Chen had spent nearly all the spirit stones he had earned from talisman-making over the past two months!
In the evening, Wang Chen quietly returned to the home of Tian Niangzi, where he had once rented a room.
The small courtyard remained unchanged, just as he remembered it.
Ye Feifan was practicing his martial arts in the yard. The little guy’s physique had grown quite robust, and his punches whistled through the air, hinting at the power of a true martial artist.
His sister, Ye Feifei, sat under the eaves, sewing while watching her brother practice.
In the kitchen, Tian Niangzi bustled about at the stove, the aroma of food wafting out.
At that moment, the door to the small courtyard swung open, and Tian Zhi strode in, carrying a piece of fine meat.
“Uncle Tian!”
Ye Feifan stopped practicing, his eyes lighting up as he exclaimed, “We’re having meat again today!”
Tian Zhi patted his head and smiled, “As long as you want to eat, I’ll buy it!”
Ye Feifan took the meat and dashed to the kitchen, shouting, “Mom, Uncle Tian bought meat again!”
The small house was filled with laughter and joy.
Wang Chen watched quietly for a moment, not disturbing anyone, before slipping away unnoticed.
He had simply wanted to see how Ye Feifan and his family were faring.
And everything seemed well.
Wang Chen could only hope that when the great Calamity descended upon this world, this city of loose cultivators would endure.
So that these kind and simple people could survive!
The next morning, Wang Chen arrived at the boarding point on the eastern outskirts of the City of Ten Thousand Cultivators precisely at the hour of the dragon.
A massive ship, over one hundred fifty zhang long and nearly thirty zhang high, stood steadily at the dock.
This ship, named the “Giant Whale,” gleamed in a dark golden hue, as if forged from metal, appearing both majestic and awe-inspiring.
Intricate runes were carved along its hull, shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight!
A steady stream of cultivators boarded the ship.
After presenting his ticket, Wang Chen was escorted by a graceful maid to the VIP cabin on board.
The VIP cabin was located on the upper deck, and Wang Chen was assigned a suite.
In addition to the bedroom for rest, it included a living room, a quiet room, and a bathroom, all luxuriously furnished.
Most importantly, the VIP cabin was equipped with a spirit gathering formation, ensuring an abundance of spiritual energy throughout the day.
His twenty thousand spirit stones had not been spent in vain.
Woosh—
Just past the hour of the dragon, the enormous flying ship shuddered, and four sails rose simultaneously.
Accompanied by a deep horn sound, the Giant Whale slowly ascended, reaching a height of one hundred zhang.
In the next moment, it surged forward, speeding away like an arrow shot from a bow, heading northwest.
In no time, the City of Ten Thousand Cultivators was left far behind!
