Neglecting Proper Pursuits

Chen Wang left the Hundred Treasures Pavilion feeling refreshed and at peace.

With his current powerful physique, the amount of exercise he just did was nothing; his two large kidneys were incredibly powerful and energetic.

"Freebies make people happy."

Chen Wang thought of this sentence more than once: the female cultivators in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion had enchanting figures and delicate skin, and most importantly, they didn't have to spend any money at all.

As Chen Wang walked along the road, he suddenly sensed a malevolent aura. With his enhanced mental strength, Chen Wang was extremely sensitive to such presences.

He walked forward nonchalantly, not even glancing at anyone, but his mental energy spread out and quickly relayed the information, locking onto a Square-faced Man.

The Square-faced Man had an iron sword at his waist. He was pretending to be looking at something at the stall, but his gaze kept glancing at me from time to time, and he was getting closer and closer to me.

Chen Wang remained calm and his breathing was steady. After leaving the Market, he noticed the Square-faced Man quietly approaching him.

His movements were agile and his Movement Method were very fast. Moreover, if Chen Wang had not been able to sense him with his Divine Sense, he would hardly have been able to feel his presence.

"Such a powerful Aura Concealment Technique."

Chen Wang raised his eyebrows slightly, and White Jade Bracelet slid out from his sleeve, fastening it in his palm.

This person is either an accomplice of the burly old man or a cultivator who specializes in robbing in the Market.

Although Chen Wang was not afraid, he did not underestimate his opponent. In this day and age, it was hard to guarantee that the other party had some kind of evil Law Technique, so it was better to be cautious.

The Square-faced Man used a concealment technique, making no fluctuation of his aura whatsoever. He quietly lurked near Chen Wang, waited for the right moment, then suddenly leaped out, grabbed a bag of lime, and threw it at Chen Wang, showering him with lime dust.

The lime spread instantly!

Chen Wang activated his Stormcaller ability in an instant, without the slightest hesitation, and the strong wind directly blew away the bag of lime.

Such techniques are extremely rare in battles between cultivators.

At that moment, the limestone flew towards the Square-faced Man, but he reacted extremely quickly, rolling on the ground and suddenly drawing the long sword from his waist.

While rolling at high speed, he drew his longsword and slashed precisely at Chen Wang's ankle! The three-foot-long Sword-Ray tip flickered with unpredictable light, and the timing and precision of his strike were astonishing, making him a truly qualified assassin!

But Chen Wang reacted even faster; he took a sudden step forward, and the ground suddenly cracked open in several places.

The Square-faced Man's longsword missed its mark due to the fluctuation of Qi Aura.

Chen Wang kicked the man in the chest with lightning speed.

With a loud bang, the man was sent flying backward, crashing into a large tree. He coughed up mouthfuls of blood, his vision blurring. "Body cultivator!"

The square-faced man was taken aback, unable to help but feel somewhat shocked.

Chen Wang was also taken aback. This person was very flashy in combat, and his sword speed was extremely fast with a high accuracy rate.

However, this was in the Cultivation World, Chen Wang was not marveling at how strong the other party was, but rather at how weak he was.

"Who told you to rob me like this? Are you crazy?"

At this moment, the Square-faced Man was kicked away by Chen Wang, his sternum fractured, almost killing him, and he was also unable to mobilize his internal Law Power.

Chen Wang directly used the White Jade Bracelet in his hand to smash the man's head.

"I thought he was some kind of expert, but I didn't expect him to be such a noob."

He crouched down and searched the Square-faced Man's body, but found no Storage Artifact. "He's weak and poor, no wonder he's out robbing people."

Chen Wang pulled a booklet out of his body. The booklet was very thin. It read, "The Returning Wind Willow Sword".

The booklet was covered with tiny figures wielding swords, displaying a variety of sword techniques. Chen Wang glanced at it and saw that there were forty-nine moves. "What a waste of time! A cultivator is actually learning martial arts secrets."

No wonder the other party was so precise in his attacks and timing; it turns out he was practicing Swordsmanship. Besides this booklet, Chen Wang also found a small bronze bottle on him.

He picked it up and listened to it, and discovered that there was actually a sound coming from inside the bronze bottle.

Chen Wang probed inside with his spiritual power and discovered a tiny, thumb-sized worm that looked extremely ferocious.

"Poisonous Insect?"

Chen Wang couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then looked at the Square-faced Man with some curiosity.

As for the Square-faced Man's longsword, it was a poorly crafted, low-grade Low Grade Magic Tool.

After being infused with Law Power, it only increases sharpness and adds a touch of coldness. In the mortal world, it is already an extraordinary divine weapon, but in the Cultivation World, it belongs to the lowest level of Law Artifact.

However, Chen Wang still put these things away, but because there was an insect in the copper bottle, he couldn't put it into his Storage Bag.

Chen Wang then carried it with him and returned to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

Jiang Ning had just helped Wang Qing back to rest.

Wang Qing was so tired that she couldn't even lift her hands, and her walking posture was extremely strange.

Jiang Ning, though not inexperienced, blushed deeply. Lost in thought, he suddenly saw an exceptionally clean-cut face, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!"

Chen Wang was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ning quickly realized what was happening, his expression returning to normal. He gently tugged at his Hundred Treasures Pavilion uniform and softened his tone, "No, no, it's nothing. What's wrong? Why is Fellow Daoist Chen back again?"

Chen Wang said calmly, "I forgot something earlier. Could you help me identify what these bugs in the bottle are?"

Jiang Ning has worked at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion for many years; Hundred Treasures Pavilion itself offers appraisal services.

She took the bottle, examined it closely, and immediately said, "This is Gold Devouring Insect. It likes to devour metal and contains a certain magic-breaking effect. If it grows up, it will be extremely troublesome for cultivators."

Then Chen Wang learned some other information about the Gold Devouring Insect from Jiang Ning, and then he suddenly understood.

Chen Wang hadn't noticed this item when he visited those stalls earlier.

Without chatting with the stall owners, he came straight for the Flying Artifact, so his inspection was rather cursory.

Regardless of the cultivator's origins, he has now been completely burned to ashes and buried underground.

After Chen Wang inquired about the details, he thanked Jiang Ning and then left.

Jiang Ning looked at Chen Wang's back and recalled Wang Qing's appearance just now, with the bed sheet soaked through. She couldn't help but blush.

Back in the Slum Area,

This time, Chen Wang was no longer being watched. He took out the Original Emerald Spirit Liquid; just one drop of this liquid was enough to fill a whole bathtub.

Chen Wang prepared a tub of hot water and, following the instructions, poured in a drop of the Original Emerald Spirit Liquid.

The water in the bucket quickly turned emerald green, resembling a huge piece of jade.

Chen Wang took off his clothes, revealing muscles as sharp and defined as rock.

After mastering the second level of the Tiger Strength Bull Demon Fist, his Qi and Blood became even stronger.

His physique has undergone some changes, his skin is extremely smooth and delicate, and the power contained within it has become stronger, full of terrifying explosive force.

As soon as Chen Wang entered the bathtub, he felt a refreshing coolness, all his fatigue disappeared, and his body became full of vitality.

"Comfortable."

Chen Wang sighed.

Chen Wang soaked a bucket of water that was as green Ru Yu until it turned into clear water again.

The burning sensation that I had previously experienced from practicing the Tiger Strength Bull Demon Fist has completely disappeared.

Moreover, Chen Wang felt much lighter when he gently swung his fists and feet, without the sluggish feeling that comes with rigorous training.

"This thing is expensive, but it's definitely worth the price."

Now that Chen Wang was clear-headed, after soaking in the Original Emerald Spirit Liquid, he took out the emerald green magic Law Artifact that resembled a willow leaf and poured his Law Power into it. The two-foot-long willow leaf immediately grew larger and hovered in the air.
