The Path to Riches

Lu Wangchuan sighed.

In chaotic times, if one wasn't strong enough, their fate couldn't be held in their own hands.

I still need to become stronger!

"Doesn't the sect have any methods for recovery?"

Chen Qingquan gave a bitter smile.

"There are, but the cost is too high. With so many people in the entire sect, I'm not the only one with injuries or lost limbs. It's impossible for them to restore this arm for me."

"Don't be disheartened. There's always a way out. Perhaps there will be a chance to fix it in the future."

Lu Wangchuan's Life Nurturing Art could also heal, but it consumed a lot of vital energy. When his strength grew in the future, and he had millions of vital energy at his disposal, he could help him heal it. After all, their relationship was good.

"I still need to report back to Grandmaster. You go ahead and be busy. We can chat when we have time."

"Alright."

After watching Chen Qingquan leave, Lu Wangchuan entered the Resource Hall to collect his resources. The disciples in the Resource Hall then handed him two letters.

"Peak Master Lu, here are two letters for you."

Lu Wangchuan guessed they were from his sister and master. He took them and saw that it was indeed the case.

His master's letter was very simple, just urging him to cultivate well and not worry about him. He said he needed to look after the old curator's family and didn't want to return to Still Water Peak.

It seemed he had a detached nature and had let go of everything.

His sister's letter, on the other hand, conveyed deep care and longing, saying that they hadn't seen each other for many years and she hoped to meet him.

"It has been many years since we last met."

Lu Wangchuan inherited the memories of his previous body and also received the feelings for this sister in his bloodline. At this moment, a strong sense of longing also surged within him.

Thinking carefully, it had been five or six years since he came to this world, and he still hadn't met his sister. The area the Divine Water Sect occupied in the mortal world was Chu Zhou. He should make time to go and meet her.

He hadn't gone before because the outside world was in chaos, his cultivation wasn't high enough, and he couldn't resolve many troublesome matters he encountered, which would instead delay his cultivation.

Now he was in the mid to late stage of the Transforming Sea Realm and could even fight above his level. He didn't need to fear encountering experts in the Suppressing World Realm. He could go to the secular world with some peace of mind.

After getting the resources, Lu Wangchuan quickly went to the Library Pavilion to find a movement technique.

He finally found a forbidden-level movement technique called 'Spirit Void Step', which cost six thousand points of vital energy to add a point each time.

Lu Wangchuan returned directly to his Cave Dwelling and added all of his remaining eighteen thousand plus points of vital energy to the Spirit Void Step, directly raising it to the third layer.

After that, he didn't leave the Cave Dwelling immediately but went into seclusion again for two months. He digested all the resources he had received, significantly deepening his cultivation, and accumulated another twenty thousand points of vital energy, raising the Spirit Void Step to the sixth layer before stopping his cultivation.

He opened the light screen, and the information on it had changed significantly.

Name: Lu Wangchuan.

Cultivation: Transforming Sea Realm.

Vital Energy: 2981.

Cultivation Techniques: Azure Emperor Longevity Art (Eighteenth Layer Great Perfection), Prajna Dragon Elephant (Ninth Layer), Spirit Void Step (Sixth Layer).

"Now, whether it's strength, speed, healing, or spiritual energy recovery, I far surpass experts of the same level. I can even hold my own against experts a whole level higher. Although my cultivation is only at the Transforming Sea Realm Late Stage, my actual combat power is enough to rival Suppressing World experts!

Even among the various sects, I'm considered quite strong."

Lu Wangchuan clenched his fists, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

Just then, Chen Qingquan's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Junior Brother Wangchuan, Grandmaster is looking for you."

Lu Wangchuan walked out of his Cave Dwelling.

"What does Grandmaster need me for?"

"I don't know, but it should be good news."

Hearing this, Lu Wangchuan quickly arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall's main hall and saw Cheng Yunxiao.

"Disciple greets Grandmaster."

"Wangchuan, you are truly diligent. You were in seclusion for a year before, and I heard you came out two months ago. But before I could even see you, you started secluding yourself again. Even I don't have your perseverance."

"Grandmaster overpraises me. This disciple is devoted to martial arts and doesn't want to waste time on other things."

"Good! With such a mindset, it's no wonder you have such great talent in the path of martial arts. You should have already broken through to the Transforming Sea Realm by now, right?!"

"Reporting to Grandmaster, I just broke through a few days ago."

Hiding should be done reasonably. After all, he was already at the Condensing Truth Realm Late Stage over a year ago. With the talent he had shown and over a year's time, it was impossible for his cultivation not to break through to the Transforming Sea Realm.

However, revealing a little was fine. After all, he was now at the Transforming Sea Realm Late Stage. Only revealing the early stage cultivation still hid a part, which could be used as a backup.

"As expected, you are a heaven-sent talent. Your talent is truly rare in the world. It's a pity, how great would it be if you were the Sect Leader's son? In that case, he would probably truly gather the strength of the entire sect to help you grow.

But that's just a thought. Right now, there's an opportunity for you to obtain some resources. I wonder if you're willing to take it?"

"Of course I am. Please instruct me, Grandmaster."

Cheng Yunxiao walked down from the platform, his expression stern.

"Recently, the conflict between our Divine Water Sect and the Heavenly Martial Sect has been escalating, with small-scale clashes breaking out in many places.

The sect is preparing to dispatch a group of experts down the mountain to assist the disciples who have gone down to control the major cities. This mission has very generous rewards. I wonder if you are willing to go?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Wangchuan immediately nodded.

He was indeed lacking quite a bit of resources to accelerate the improvement of his vital energy and cultivation.

Of course, he wasn't just focused on the sect's meager rewards. How much could that be?

He wasn't the only one going down the mountain; there were quite a few powerful cultivators. No matter how much the sect gave, it would be diluted when divided among them.

What he valued were the resources on the Heavenly Martial Sect disciples.

Since ancient times, scholars have been poor and martial artists rich, and the fastest way to get rich is through ill-gotten gains, or rather, war wealth.

He wasn't stupid. He would rob those he could defeat, and he naturally wouldn't rush forward to get beaten by those he couldn't.

After all, as a mature martial artist, one must know to only fight battles where they can achieve an instant kill!

However, with his current true cross-realm combat strength comparable to the Suppressing World Realm, there didn't seem to be many who could defeat him.

"I agree."

"Alright, then you should make a trip to Chu Zhou. Remember, you need to collect the waist tokens of the Heavenly Martial Sect disciples you kill to exchange for rewards. The higher the level of the waist token, the higher the reward."

"This disciple understands."

Lu Wangchuan took his leave, then quickly packed up and swiftly departed from the Divine Water Sect.

Just after he left, a figure quickly rushed towards the Cliff of Reflection in the back mountain and arrived beside a young man with a severed arm.

"Young Master, that kid just left the mountain gate. He should be going to carry out a mission."

Upon hearing this, the young man suddenly opened his eyes. In his gaze, sharp killing intent flickered like lightning, radiating a chilling aura.

"Fourteen months! That kid finally left the Divine Water Sect. As long as he leaves the Divine Water Sect, without the protection of the Sect Leader and Cheng Yunxiao, no matter how strong he is, he will surely die.

Meng Yao, wait for me. I will definitely avenge you and let you rest in peace beneath the Nine Springs!"
