Chapter 249.
Early in the morning, before the arrival of the oxcart carrying the night fragrance, Wang Dust left his home.
He first went to the breakfast store to fill his stomach, then headed to the marketplace to take a stroll around.
If he saw something he needed or liked, he would bargain a bit with the stall owner and buy it if the price was right.
But most of the time, Wang Chen returned empty-handed.
Leaving the market, the next stop was the teahouse.
Order a pot of spirit tea that could be brewed three times, add a plate of dried fruits or pastries, and you could sit there until high noon.
Regarding the news about the outside world, such as the various rumors about the Returning Yuan Sect and the Five Peaks Mountain, he had heard them all here.
No matter how much truth there was in these news rumors, at least the ears would not be closed.
After returning home at noon, Wang Chen basically stopped going out.
Spending most of his time in cultivation.
He would go out again the next morning.
So the cycle repeats itself, day by day like a set template, plain and simple, no accidents and no surprises.
Only when it comes to Dongwu Zhai’s big and small market days, Wang dust will rent a stall in the market.
Sell their own refined talisman.
Every loose cultivator in Dongwu Walled City has mastered one or more skills to make a living.
Farming, hunting, gathering, weaving, talisman making, alchemy ……
If one wanted to survive in the crisis-ridden Outland, those without some ability were the most likely to be eliminated from the game.
In such a situation, Wang Chen couldn’t act differently and invite suspicion from others.
Refining talismans naturally became his means of “making a living”.
Then Wang Chen took the spirit stones he earned and went to buy the materials needed to make the Dragon Tiger Vitality Soup.
Without the Vajra Ghee, the Dragon Tiger Vajra Soup became a necessity for him to cultivate the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Technique, and he spent quite a lot of spirit stones on it.
Because the talismans that Wang Chen refined were of good quality, the prices were quite affordable.
Gradually, he gained quite a good reputation in this city fortress.
Dan, talisman, artifact, and array, cultivators who mastered these four skills would be held in high regard no matter where they were.
And in a scattered cultivator’s city fortress, an outstanding talisman maker would be even more desirable.
Most importantly, Wang Chuan was still at the seventh level of Qi cultivation, which led to him being greeted by all the cultivators he knew and didn’t know when he walked on the street.
In other people’s eyes, Wang Chuan has a kind temperament, is quite talented and capable, and is neither a troublemaker nor a publicity seeker.
He was a respectable cultivator.
Interestingly, after Wang Chen’s reputation spread, a few Three Rivers Association cultivators who had once found trouble with him actually came to his door again, bringing gifts and groveling to apologize to him!
Since the other party was so sensible, Wang Chen temporarily gave up the idea of earning heavenly merit from the Three Rivers Association.
Gradually, he truly put down roots in Dongwu Walled City.
Completing the transformation from sect disciple to casual cultivator!
As time passed, the neighbors no longer regarded Wang Chuan as a newly arrived cultivator and became familiar with his habits and personality.
At this point, Wang Chuan was considered to have perfectly integrated into this scattered cultivator’s city fortress.
Meanwhile, the storm caused by Liu Yingxiu’s fall had completely subsided, and soon no one mentioned it again.
Dongwu Walled City didn’t have much of an impact, and it was said that Five Peaks Mountain had clashed with Guiyuan Sect a few times, but both sides maintained considerable restraint and didn’t escalate into a sect war.
After a long time, who remembers the former Heaven’s Daughter!
Wang Dust hibernated for nearly half a year to make sure that his identity was not exposed, and that the Five Peaks Mountain could not find the “real culprit” before he left Dongwu Walled City again to practice his stagnant swordsmanship.
Fifty miles north of Dongwu Walled City.
In the rolling hills, a moss-covered rock suddenly moved three feet.
A deep, dark hole was revealed.
Wang Chen leapt out of the hole in the ground!
He looked around to make sure there was no dangerous presence nearby, then moved the rock back to its original position.
Re-covering the hole.
This tunnel was the third secret escape route that Wang Dust had dug out in the past few months.
Its length completely broke the previous record!
The location of the exit was also carefully selected by Wang Chuan, avoiding the area frequented by the scattered cultivators of Dongwu Walled City.
He unfolded the Shadowless Divine Walk, and his figure swept forward like a stringless arrow.
In an instant, he disappeared into the dense mountain forest.
Flying all the way, Wang Chen stopped in front of a steep cliff.
He searched the surrounding area without panic.
First, he familiarized himself with the nearby environment, then returned to the cliff here and offered up the Wind Thunder Sword.
For the past few months, Wang Chen had been sacrificing this second rank spirit sword.
And now was the time to test the results!
In the next moment, a sword light broke through the air and whistled, circling and flying up and down around Wang Dust with increasing speed.
“Blast!”
Accompanied by his soft shout, the surface of the Wind and Thunder Sword steeply transmitted a limpid light, shooting towards the cliff face in front of him with lightning speed.
A lizard lying on the rock wall suddenly felt a coolness in its neck, and immediately its headless body fell down.
Only the sword light circled around and returned to Wang Chen’s body in an instant.
[Running Thunder Sword Technique Experience +1]
He probed his hand and gripped the hilt of the sword, letting out a long breath of relief.
It was refreshing and quick!
This Wind and Thunder Sword was not only a second-rank upper-grade spiritual weapon, but it also fit in very well with the Running Thunder Sword Technique that Wang Chuan practiced.
When the same sword stance was used, the speed was at least doubled!
Most importantly, the Wind Thunder Sword still had the possibility of upgrading.
Wang Chen guessed that Liu Yingxiu had nine times out of ten practiced in the Wind Thunder Valley, utilizing the special environment there to refine the flying sword.
As a result, because he had beheaded a Five Peaks Mountain cultivator, Liu Yingxiu realized that his fellow disciples had asked for help and rushed after him, but ended up taking his own life instead.
Even the flying sword fell into Wang Chen’s hands.
The power of this Wind and Thunder Sword needed to be tested in actual battle again.
However, there was no doubt about the increase in Wang Chen’s combat power.
With the sword in his hand, it was really like a tiger with wings!
Wang Chen swung his right arm violently, and the five fingers holding the hilt of the sword opened at the same time.
The Wind and Thunder Sword instantly shot straight up into the sky, surprisingly emitting a faint sound of thunder and blinking into a flash of light!
With this spirit sword, as long as Wang Chen’s cultivation level went up another step, he would definitely be able to inspire the Thunder Sound Sword Qi and master the essence of the Running Thunder Sword Technique.
Or even achieve imperial sword flight!
He recalled the flying sword and put it into his robe sleeve.
The sword, it really was a good sword.
The only pity was that the Wind and Thunder Sword’s characteristics were quite obvious and could not be easily seen in the light.
However, it could perfectly serve as Wang Chen’s killer weapon, attacking him by surprise when facing a powerful enemy!
In this deserted place, practicing the Running Thunder Sword Technique to his heart’s content.
Only when the sun was about to set did Wang Chen stop and embark on his return journey.
He planned to spend two months practicing the Running Thunder Sword Technique to the level of Great Perfection.
At the beginning of next year, when he had practiced Qi Grand Completion, he would be ready to break through the orifices and open the house!
