Chapter 192.
After handing over the Wooden Kui to Pang Zitong, Wang Chen made a round of Yunlong City.
As Pang Zitong had said, the prices of the items sold by the merchant stores in the city, especially the cultivation resources, had all increased by varying degrees.
He ran around Yunshan City again.
The situation was the same.
The yellow sorghum rice and black zhi rice that Wang Chen had hoarded in his hands could earn hundreds of extra spirit stones if he threw them out now!
However, there wasn’t the slightest bit of elation in his heart.
Although the rise in prices did not seem to have much of an impact on the surface.
Yunshan City was as prosperous and lively as ever, the streets were filled with cultivators like crucians, the restaurants and teahouses were doing a brisk business, and people were living and working in peace, a prosperous scene.
But Wang Chen feels that under this peaceful appearance, there is a hidden undercurrent that he can’t see!
Ignorant people have no fear.
His problem is that he knows a little bit, yet he is unable to unveil the veil of truth.
Even though Wang Chen had an optimistic character and a resolute mind, under the influence of an intuition similar to the instincts of a wild beast, he had been distracted for the next few days, and the efficiency of his cultivation had been greatly reduced.
Originally, he had planned to advance to the ninth level of Qi Practicing before then, but now his plans would have to be postponed.
Such intuition did not come from nothing.
It originated from the warning of Bai Susu, a great demon, and also from what he had seen, heard, and thought!
With his daily cultivation being interfered with, Wang Chen changed his usual habit of living in a house and ran through the Inner Sect’s main hall, Sunset Peak, and the three cities of the Outer Sect before and after.
First of all, he used the Hoon Points he had accumulated to exchange two Qi Practicing High Level Spells in the Book Depository.
They were the Five Yang Qian Thunder and the Fixed Body Technique.
The Five Yang Qian Thunder was the Yun Yang Sect’s authentic Thunder Technique, which was profound and powerful, and like the Running Thunder Sword Technique, it could be cultivated from the Qi Practicing Stage all the way up to the Purple Mansion Realm.
Therefore, only inner disciples were qualified to learn it.
In order to obtain this spell, Wang Chen had paid a whole thousand Hoon points.
The Five Yang Qian Lei was a perfect match for the Running Thunder Sword Technique, and the combination of the two could greatly enhance the flying sword’s power.
Moreover, Five Yang Qian Thunder had a strong restraining and killing effect on evil spirits.
Thunder spells were quick to cast, and the attacks were swift and powerful, making it a first-rate combat technique.
As for the Fixation Technique, it was a control spell that was practical for tackling and killing.
It was worth six hundred points.
Next, Wang Chen exchanged for a set of high level Qi Practicing Spirit Gathering Formation Disks.
This kind of formation disk could be carried around, easy and quick to set up, and even in the land of the extinct spirit, one could still put in spirit stones to cultivate.
Prepared for running away!
The two spells plus a set of array disks consumed most of Wang Chen’s hun points.
He didn’t keep the remaining hunter points.
All of them were exchanged for pills.
Not only that, Wang Chen also took advantage of the rising prices of spells to sell all the loot from previous seizures and purchase a batch of cultivation resources and talisman paper and ink.
After some maneuvering, he had streamlined most of his private stash, and even his storage bag only had three left.
They were used to store different items and equipment respectively.
At the beginning of his preparations, Wang Chen’s heart was more or less in a state of trepidation, as well as hesitation and indecision.
But as his preparations became more and more complete, all of these anxieties and hesitations vanished.
Wang Chen had even thought of a way out!
The next step was to wait.
Waiting for Changchun to come out.
Wang Chen set a deadline for himself.
If within ten days, the master hadn’t come out of the pass, then he could only leave without saying goodbye.
As a result, on the morning of the seventh day, a sword light suddenly appeared in the front yard of Wang Chen’s house.
He received a transmission flying sword!
And this small foot-long flying sword was attached to the message Changchun had given him.
Receiving the flying sword, Wang Chen didn’t hesitate for a second and immediately sacrificed his Willow Leaf Flying Boat and headed straight to Yunlong City.
In the Inner Sect Sect Affairs Hall, he took on a town guard mission!
Although the Yunyang Sect was a lower sect in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
But it also governed a land of 10,000 miles in a radius, and it also held a mundane country, Great Qian!
Great Qian had a vast territory with a population of tens of millions of people, and governed thirty-seven states and one hundred and twenty-six counties.
It has been more than seven hundred years since the founding of Da Qian, and it has always been dominated by the Yun Yang Sect.
The latter was equivalent to the Sovereign of Da Qian.
Normally, the Yunyang Sect does not interfere in the internal affairs of Daqian.
The prerequisite was that Da Qian paid its offerings in full and on time.
For example, rice, black iron, white jade, purple sand and other materials, as well as boys and girls with excellent bones!
In addition, the Yunyang Sect regularly dispatches its disciples to station in the state and county cities of Daqian.
On the one hand, they supervise the collection of tributes and show the presence of the sect.
On the other hand, it is also responsible for purging evil spirits and demonic cultivators to help maintain local stability.
But this is a hard job.
Sitting on one side and enjoying honor and glory sounded beautiful, but the mundane realm and the Immortal Cultivation Realm were two completely different worlds.
There is no aura in the mundane world, and the cultivation environment is extremely harsh, so it’s not easy to maintain one’s cultivation level in the states and counties of Da Qian, not to mention raising one’s cultivation level!
And because this duty is very important, non-insider disciples may not serve, and most people are not willing to go, so the vacancy has always been there, as a task perennial hanging in the clan affairs hall.
But right now, Wang Dust couldn’t find a task more suitable for him than this!
The current Yunyang Sect was still in good hands, so he couldn’t just leave everything behind and rebel against the sect, fleeing to the outer regions to struggle for survival.
That would be the worst choice.
And by going out of town to the Great Qian place, he could rightfully stay away from the right and wrong of the Yunyang Sect.
As well as the unpredictable dangers!
Once the mission expired, Wang Chen could still come back again.
Some days ago, he had come to the Sect Affairs Hall twice and carefully selected a few target missions.
Going out of town to Daqian was exactly one of them.
Today, after receiving Changchun’s flying sword message, Wang Chen made the decision to run away on the spur of the moment!
Without delay, after taking on this mission, he immediately went through the relevant procedures.
Because of the difficulty of this task, the compensation given by the side of the sect hall was quite generous, in addition to a set of celestial master equipment, Wang Chuan also received a batch of pills to nourish qi and cultivate vitality, as well as talismans to deal with evil spirits and demonic cultivators.
The duration of the mission was three years, and after completing it, he would also receive a reward of three thousand Hoon points!
Of course, there was also extra oil to be gained from guarding the Great Qian Prefecture.
Nonetheless, apart from the thirty-seven counties that the Inner Sect General Hall had assigned people to guard, there were still thirty-two mission slots in the following one hundred and twenty-six counties that were still unclaimed.
Wang Chen had done his homework earlier, so he chose a medium county town to guard.
After completing the formalities, he then proceeded to the Hall of Commonwealth Affairs and entrusted his family’s manor to the Hall of Commonwealth Affairs to manage on his behalf.
Although the fall grain was going to be lost for the most part.
But while Wang Chen was away on a mission, the manor still belonged to him.
And shortly after he left the Sect Hall, a group of inner disciples appeared in the middle of the mission hall.
The township guard missions that were originally despised by everyone were unexpectedly snatched up in a very short period of time.
So much so that those who came a little late didn’t even get to grab it if they wanted to!
