Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

With an entry that could conceal one's fate from the divinations, it was perfect for effectively restraining Gua Cultivators, as long as their Cultivation wasn't overwhelming his by too much, they wouldn't be able to deduce his whereabouts.

Without hesitating, he chose the second entry.

"Self-propagating forty-nine."

Let the deductions proceed slowly.

"Let's go."

After that, he turned to Fat Long and the others, "Go to Fei City, find Liu Zide."

With no pressing matters that day, it was time to check on the progress of Liu Zide and the rest.

...

On the way,

Chen Qiu had placed many things from his small world into his Storage Ring. Although the small world was larger and more convenient for organizing, many Secret Realms would sever the connection between him and the small world.

This meant that if something he needed was in the small world, he might not be able to retrieve it in a Secret Realm.

This could be a life-threatening issue at critical moments.

It was safer to keep things in the Storage Ring, even though it meant wearing several rings on his fingers, which looked somewhat conspicuous, but at least it was better than losing one's life over it at a critical moment.

...

The journey was uneventful.

When the sun had descended halfway down the mountain and dusk had set in, they had already arrived at Fei City. Through the Sound Transmission Ring, they quickly made contact with Liu Zide and managed to meet up.

"This many?"

A flash of surprise crossed Chen Qiu's eyes as he looked at the several Storage Rings that Liu Zide handed over, which contained at least tens of thousands of units of Evil Wood at first glance.

"This is actually the lesser amount,"

Liu Zide spoke seriously and with respect, "There are quite a lot of Evil Woods in Fei State, they're not considered valuable, mainly used for heating by some families and sects. If we were to purchase more aggressively, we could acquire even more."

"But a widespread purchase would inflate the price of Evil Wood, and it's likely that others would also enter the market to buy."

"Thus, we've been telling stories in Fei State these past few days." Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire

"The story fabricated so far is that the Young Masters of two families had a disagreement and argued. To compete in financial strength, both sides used Spirit Stones to agree on purchasing useless things, like Evil Wood,"

"to show off their wealth."

"Like this, although the pace of purchasing is slower, at least the price of Evil Wood remains controllable. We plan to change the story after a while, and we are also slowly purchasing Eight Desolate Fruits. We've already secured three,"

"One of which Fat Long had the World Pavilion purchase on commission, and it was sent to me following your instructions after it arrived, Brother Qiu."

"If you're in a hurry, Brother Qiu, we could speed up the process, though the price might rise."

"No need,"

Chen Qiu said with a smile, accepting the Storage Ring. After throwing all twenty thousand units of Evil Wood into a mountain at the back of the small world, he then passed a Storage Ring containing 4,000 Spirit Stones to Liu Zide.

"Take these Spirit Stones and continue purchasing at your own pace. If you exceed the amount, cover it first, and I'll compensate you when I come next time."

"Keep the price stable."

"By the way, find me a group of people. I'm taking them to renovate a sect. The sect is rather large, ordinary mortals won't cut it, find those who specialize in constructing sects."

"Sure."

Liu Zide nodded earnestly, "I will contact you as soon as I have any news, Brother Qiu."

...

After parting with Liu Zide, Chen Qiu found a random inn in Fei City to stay for the night and prepare for his Cultivation practice.

This time they were smart, wearing masks so they wouldn't be surrounded like last time.

It's about learning from one's mistakes.

The same error shouldn't happen twice.

Soon...

As the Hour of the Rat arrived, the Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill was automatically credited. Chen Qiu, who sat cross-legged on the bed, swallowed a Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill and circulated his mental method, beginning another night of arduous Cultivation.

...

After dawn,

Chen Qiu slowly opened his eyes and emitted a long breath of turbid air. His Cultivation Progress had now reached—

-

"Cultivation": Golden Core Stage Level Three (45.3%).

-

In a few days, his Cultivation would improve again.

However, as his Cultivation increased, the effects of the Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill also weakened. If there were no other opportunities, he estimated it would not be easy to reach the Great Perfection Cultivation at the Golden Core Peak before the path of the Heavenly Pride.

After entering the Golden Core Stage,

the experience gained from killing demon beasts was almost none, or rather, completely gone.

Killing so many demon beasts of the Sea Clan didn't even increase his Cultivation Progress by 0.1%, no wonder so many cultivators at the Golden Core Stage rarely ventured out and instead focused on secluded Cultivation. It's only the Qi Refinement Realm cultivators who are most keen on killing demon beasts daily.

Now that it was daylight,

Chen Qiu left the guest room and saw Fat Long and the others already waiting for him in the corridor, "Let's go, being in Fei City, naturally we should have more mutton soup."

He then turned to the scholar next to him with slight amazement, patting him on the shoulder and smiling.

"Not bad, your Cultivation has increased faster than mine did at your stage, already at Foundation Establishment Level Five."

"All credit goes to you, Brother Qiu,"

The scholar replied with a good mood, smiling, "If it wasn't for the batch of Foundation Establishment Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills you gave me, my Cultivation wouldn't have risen this fast."

"Good,"

Chen Qiu nodded, and soon, the trio appeared at a stall in Fei City.

"Fat Long."

After taking a sip of the mutton soup, Chen Qiu picked up a piece of dry bread and turned to Fat Long, "The witch in the small world has already woken up, aren't you going to Cultivate?"

"After the meal, I'll go,"

Fat Long nodded vigorously, "I wanted to go yesterday, but since you came to Fei City, Brother Qiu, you went straight back to the inn to Cultivate, and I didn't find an opportunity to talk to you about it."
