Wealth Concealed

After thinking it over, you chose to find the Village Chief and tell him that before entering Blackwind Forest, you had learned that an Innate Realm Completion expert named Li Huai was searching for something, and told him to be careful. The Village Chief's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

When you asked why, the Village Chief told you the reason. It turned out that Chi Village had once been one of Great Xia Kingdom's great clans, standing alongside the Li Family as White Moon City's two great families. However, for some reason, their clan was unable to break through beyond the Innate Realm into the Spirit Origin Realm. Thus, fifty years ago, after the Li Family Old Ancestor broke through to the Spirit Origin Realm, he attacked the Chi Family, intending to wipe them out completely.

In the end, the people of Chi Village suffered grievous casualties. Only a small number escaped and hid in Blackwind Forest, not daring to leak the slightest word.

After hearing the Village Chief's explanation, you deeply felt the danger of this world and sighed over the Chi Clan Members' plight. However, you were also quite puzzled. Why had the Village Chief been willing to let you leave Chi Village?

Seeing your confusion, the Village Chief said that Chi Village possessed a medicine that could make people forget part of their memories. Only then did you suddenly understand. No wonder the Village Chief had said such things.

Then, the Village Chief began to furrow his brow in worry again. In Chi Village's heyday, they naturally would not have feared an Innate Realm Completion expert, but now they were no match for one. If they were found, disaster would surely come crashing down on them.

You asked the Village Chief whether he could break through to Innate Realm Completion. The Village Chief shook his head. He was too old, and his potential had already run dry. Breaking through was impossible. You could only feel helpless at that.

Next, the Village Chief gathered the Clan Elders for a meeting. In the end, they made a decision: the entire clan would relocate, lest they be exterminated.

On July 3rd, you followed the people of Chi Village out of Blackwind Forest. To avoid dragging you down, the Chi Clan Members chose to give you many banknotes and told you to return to your own Lineage. You said that you did not want to leave, but the people of Chi Village forcibly kicked you out of the group.

In the eyes of the Chi Clan Members, they were being hunted by a great clan of Xia Kingdom. Once their whereabouts were exposed, calamity would follow. At the same time, they considered you their benefactor and believed they would only drag you down. Chi Feng did not want you to leave either, but he also urged you to go.

You were quite helpless and could not say much more, so you could only leave the Chi Village group and scrape out a living in the nearby Blackwind Town.

Because you no longer had the ample supply of bloody food from the Chi Clan Members' hunts, your cultivation progress began to slow. You began to worry about your future life.

In the end, you chose to cultivate diligently. Fortunately, although you no longer had demon beast flesh, the banknotes given to you by the Chi Clan Members were plentiful. You still lived without worries, able to purchase some cultivation resources and cultivate in peace.

On August 20th, you still failed to enter the late stage of Muscle Training.

On October 1st, you finally entered the late stage of Muscle Training.

On May 5th, Great Xia Calendar Year 481, you finally entered the peak of the Flesh Refinement Realm.

On May 25th, Year 481, because you had never done business or hunted demon beasts yet could frequently purchase cultivation resources, mercenaries in Blackwind Town set their sights on you. They killed you and seized your wealth.

Because of your death, this simulation ended.

"This is way too miserable, isn't it?"

Wang Ping was speechless.

He had told the people of Chi Village about Li Huai, and the Chi Clan Members relocated their entire clan. Whether they lived or died was unknown.

As for himself, he could only hide in Blackwind Forest outside and live and cultivate there, not daring to wander about carelessly.

Yet he was still targeted.

That was pretty miserable.

There really were dangers everywhere.

"Looks like no matter what world you're in, you have to remember the principle that wealth must not be flaunted."

Wang Ping shook his head and thought silently.

"If possible, I still have to find a way to get to the bottom of one matter."

Wang Ping rubbed his chin and fell into thought.

Had Li Huai found Chi Village by accident, or had he searched this place out?

If he had found Chi Village by accident, then all they needed to do was kill him. There would be no need for the entire clan to relocate, and Wang Ping could cultivate peacefully in Chi Village.

If he had searched this place out, then things would be troublesome. They would have to flee.

However, they also had to investigate when he began searching.

"Judging from the simulation, he most likely found them by accident. Otherwise, since I survived in Blackwind Town for so long in this simulation, I should have heard some rumors. A search would definitely cause a huge commotion. Whether the Li Family mobilized experts to search or mobilized Blackwind Town's mercenaries, there would be a major stir. It was impossible for no text to appear in the simulation."

Wang Ping thought rapidly.

"Still, a deduction is only a deduction. To know the specifics, I need to continue simulating." Wang Ping frowned and pondered slightly. "Besides that, I have to think of a solution. Otherwise, even if I confirm that he found them by accident, it will still be futile if there's no way to resolve the gap in strength."

At this thought, Wang Ping opened the Chat Group and spoke, describing the situation he would likely encounter. "Seniors, my current situation is like this. How should I solve it?"

Someone soon popped up.

Wu Jun (20): "Good heavens, Wang Ping, you can see so far into the future? This Foreshadowing the Future talent is truly broken. I'm so jealous, QAQ~"

Liu Mei (15): "You really do face one calamity after another. You finally managed to save your life, and now you've run into danger again? Still, based on your description, the power level of your world doesn't seem low either."

Fang Yun (3): "What else can you do? Eat it cold. At worst, run away by yourself."

Wang Ping (66): "I want to protect Chi Village. The people there are so kind, and staying there lets me cultivate safely. There are even people to guide my cultivation."

Fang Yun (3): "Six against one and you still can't win. The gap can only be called enormous. In your current situation, there's no opening to break the deadlock at all. Of course, there might be one—you just haven't thought of it."

Wang Ping (66): "By the way, does the Chat Group have a teleportation function? It would be great if Senior Cai Yonglong could come over and help."

Fang Yun (3): "The mission function hasn't even been unlocked yet, and you're talking about teleportation? What the hell are you dreaming about? Eye-roll.Jpg."

Wang Ping (66): "Alright."

Wang Ping was somewhat speechless.

The only person he could think of who might be able to deal with an Innate Realm Completion expert was Cai Yonglong.

After all, this man had said himself that his cultivation had reached the Innate Realm Seventh Level and that he could contend against an Innate Realm Great Perfection expert.

Of course, their worlds were different, so differences in combat power could arise.

"No, there seems to be a way to break the deadlock."

As Wang Ping thought, he suddenly recalled something. His eyes could not help but light up.

Those two Gale Leopards were also powerful fighting forces. If he lured Li Huai to the Gale Leopards and made them fight, then had the people of Chi Village strike afterward and join forces with the Gale Leopards against him, they might have some chance of victory.

"This can be worked out."

The more Wang Ping thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He could not help clenching his fist.

"However, I also need to find a way to get the people of Chi Village to obtain some Spirit Stones for me to help with my simulations. After all, I can rapidly grow stronger through simulations. This may be the fastest way to break the deadlock."

Wang Ping thought of this point as well and let out a soft breath.
