Trading a Bird Gun for Cannons

After the two Miao Border women left, Su Jie walked over with her sword.

Having not seen her for a long time, Su Jie had become even more aloof, and the aura between her brows was sacred and inviolable.

During this period, her life was not as carefree as Chen Wang's.

Chen Wang became the leader of the Thirty-Six Islands, and he was not originally a key target of the Profound Yin Sect.

But Su Jie was different. Her reputation was too great, especially during the period immediately after her sect was destroyed. She had a very difficult time, and things only got better later.

Because the Profound Yin Sect was also destroyed.

Under these circumstances of pursuit and counter-pursuit, Su Jie's cultivation level improved rapidly.

Murder and robbery have always been the fastest way to amass wealth.

"It's been a long time."

Su Jie sighed.

Chen Wang nodded, "That's right!"

Then Chen Wang suddenly asked, "Have you seen the Wang Shi?"

He had not seen Wang Yue for a long time, and despite sending out many messages, he still could not find him. He was very worried that Wang Yue had died in the last catastrophe.

Su Jie shook her head.

Chen Wang asked, "What are your plans next?"

Su Jie said, "I came here only to kill those few people. Before that, I had already planned to go to the Western Continent."

Chen Wang said, "Western Continent?"

Su Jie said, "That's right, Western Continent is a holy land for sword cultivators, and I want to go there to cultivate."

"If it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to deal with these people and would have been captured by them instead. I didn't expect them to be so well hidden," Su Jie said.

She didn't want the corpse as part of the spoils, so Chen Wang kept it all.

The Three-Tailed Spirit Cat returned to Chen Wang's side, transforming back into the size of Orange Cat. It looked very proud, always holding its head high.

When Chen Wang saw this, he glared at it, and it immediately meowed and moved closer to Su Jie.

Su Jie subconsciously took a step back, not because she had any other precautions, but because although the Three-Tailed Spirit Cat looked cute now, its previous ferocious appearance had left a deep impression on her.

Chen Wang laughed and said, "It's alright. This silly thing has been cultivating with me for a long time, but lately it seems to have become a bit more wild."

Su Jie smiled slightly, "It seems you've had some extraordinary encounters lately."

Chen Wang shook his head.

"I wouldn't call it a miraculous encounter; I'm currently a Guest Elder in the Ethereal Immortal Sect."

Su Jie nodded slightly.

"So it's the Ethereal Immortal Sect."

The two of them went to a secluded place and sat on a blue stone to talk.

Su Jie abandoned her aloof demeanor and became quite unpretentious. She sat on the bluestone, looking less like an ethereal Fairy and more like a beautiful female knight-errant from the martial arts world.

Her actions today are very similar, coming with a sword to slay the demon.

After chatting for a while, Su Jie said with a smile, "The path to immortality is long. It is fate that we meet again today, and we will surely meet again in the future. I will take my leave now."

After she finished speaking, she drifted away.

Watching her departing figure, Chen Wang felt a pang of emotion.

Su Jie was a genius of the Red Cloud Sect back then, and now her dashing and chivalrous temperament is even more amazing.

After they parted ways, Chen Wang wandered through the woods and soon disappeared from sight.

Winter

Chen Wang appeared in this modern-style room.

Looking at the spacious bed in the bedroom and the several bottles of fine wine placed on the bedside table, Chen Wang finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"These people are quite capable, but I've never heard of them before. It seems like Huo Yun invited them."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

He had been on guard all along. Besides these few people, was Huo Yun hiding somewhere nearby? Huo Yun was backed by a Golden Core Old Ancestor, and no one knew what treasures he had in his possession. Moreover, his combat strength was unknown, so Chen Wang did not let his guard down.

However, he had been using his Divine Sense throughout, but had never discovered any trace of anyone else.

Even so, after separating from the others in the dense forest, he still managed to conceal himself and arrive in the Winter.

He hadn't used the Immortal Slaughtering Bow before.

At this moment, he took out the Ancient Jade Ancient Jade, which contained the scattered souls of the four cultivators.

However, after Chen Wang used his Soul Searching Technique, he discovered that there was an extremely powerful restriction within the Three Souls and Seven Spirits of these four people.

Once touched, the soul immediately turns to nothingness and is burned to ashes.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Chen Wang was taken aback.

Even the people of Dragon Head Mountain don't have such powerful restrictions in their souls to prevent others from searching their souls, but these people do.

"They give off a strange vibe; they don't seem like ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm, but rather like professional assassins."

Chen Wang frowned.

Suddenly, a thought struck him: Could it be that these people were not from the Northern Lands, but from somewhere else?

For example, Western Continent?

The thought popped into Chen Wang's mind.

Since the souls of these four people could not be searched, the investigation could not proceed.

However, Chen Wang could probably guess that it was Huo Yun who had attacked him.

He was extremely interested in Huo Yun.

I had spoken with him before. He was eloquent and had an imposing presence, giving off the air of a recluse. I never expected him to be so deep in thought.

"The Golden Core Stage Old Ancestor might not take action against me, but if I kill Huo Yun, the situation will be different."

Chen Wang thought of it.

Although he had kept his actions discreet, as long as there was any suspicion, and in this era where evidence wasn't required, Huo Yun would definitely fight him to the death.

There's only one likely reason why that Golden Core Stage Old Ancestor would intervene in this matter: if he kills Huo Yun, one of his disciples.

However, Chen Wang believed he would let Huo Yun handle the matter himself.

Otherwise, he would have already been captured and interrogated within the Ethereal Immortal Sect.

"First, recover your cultivation level. Don't rush back to the Ethereal Immortal Sect. Find the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and see if you can get a powerful defensive Spirit Artifact."

After pondering for a while, Chen Wang took out some pills to regulate his breathing and meditate to restore his cultivation before exploring the corpses of the others.

What surprised him was that these people did not have Storage Artifact on them. Apart from their personal Spirit Artifact, Talisman Paper, and Healing Pill, they did not have anything else on them.

Even Talisman Paper and pills are scarce.

"What a strange bunch of people."

Chen Wang's eyes narrowed involuntarily.

However, this also gave him several more Spirit Artifact, which was a great gain.

After returning from the Winter, Chen Wang set off for the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

He changed his appearance again.

Chen Wang now wealthy and powerful. The person in charge of receiving him is a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator named Zhao Gongfu. This man is over forty years old, somewhat thin, but with a large frame. He is half a head taller than Chen Wang and looks very fierce.

Chen Wang was somewhat surprised when he met him. Such a person would be perfect for robbing, killing and stealing treasures, but he seemed out of place doing business.

Zhao Gongfu smiled faintly, "Does fellow Daoist think my appearance is more suitable for highway robbery?"

Chen Wang was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "This person can read minds?"

Zhao Gongfu said with a smile, "It's nothing, many people have said that."

Chen Wang laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist is truly witty."

Zhao Gongfu grinned; he was somewhat better when he wasn't smiling, but now his smile was even more ferocious.

"I was originally a bandit cultivator who Bandit Cultivator, but later I joined the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and had a formal place to work, so I stopped doing what I used to do."

Chen Wang's heart skipped a beat. "Well, so he really is a bandit. With someone like that joining the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, isn't the Hundred Treasures Pavilion afraid of tarnishing its own image?"

He frowned almost imperceptibly.

Zhao Gongfu explained, "Fellow Daoist, you must not have been to the Western Continent. There are many people like me in the Western Continent. We have no choice but to kill, set fires, and rob for a living. But our hearts are good. So, when we have the opportunity to reform, we immediately abandon darkness and embrace the light."

Chen Wang was immediately taken aback.

After he explained his purpose, Zhao Gongfu thought for a moment and said, "Among these Spirit Artifact, there are strong and weak ones. I wonder what kind of quality you are looking for?"

Chen Wang took out the Golden Spirit Pearl and the Primal Chaos Banner, saying, "They are more powerful than these two Spirit Artifact. It would be even better if I could buy a Law Treasure."

Zhao Gongfu smiled and said, "I understand what you mean, fellow Daoist. To be honest, I had some foresight in my younger days. Of your two treasures, this flag is more powerful."

"However, the Law Treasure you mentioned is not currently available in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion in the Northern Lands. It might be available in the Western Continent, but I'm not sure."

Chen Wang initially spoke casually, but he didn't expect that Hundred Treasures Pavilion could actually obtain even Law Treasure. He immediately looked at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion with new respect.

If an extremely amiable person were speaking here, Chen Wang would think that person was exaggerating and was a born businessman. But with such a fierce and brave man here, he found his words to be convincing.

Upon realizing this, he understood that this was probably the intention of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

"To be honest, we just held an auction, and all the better Spirit Artifact have been sold, but..." the big man hesitated.

"But what?"

Chen Wang pressed for an answer.

"However, you've come at just the right time. There's a powerful defensive treasure here, though it's a bit pricey."

This is what the burly man Zhao Gongfu said.

"As long as the product is good, price is not a problem," Chen Wang said.

He was penniless when he came out of the auction, but now things are different. He has the Spirit Stone that the people from Dragon Head Mountain brought with him, as well as their treasures. Those Cultivation Method techniques are secrets that Dragon Head Mountain does not pass on, and they are very valuable. Chen Wang does not mind them being passed on, so these things can be turned into liquid funds at any time, or they have great value when bartering.

Soon someone brought over a plate.

There is a piece of red cloth on the plate.

After Zhao Gongfu lifted the red cloth, Chen Wang discovered that the treasure inside was actually a garment.

"This garment is called the Eight Trigrams Dharma Robe Eight Trigrams Dharma Robe. It is a replica of a powerful Law Treasure, the Eight Trigrams Immortal Robe. It is impervious to water and fire, and invulnerable to swords and spears. Fellow Daoist, you can feel the Dao Resonance contained within it for yourselves."

Zhao Gongfu explained.

Chen Wang then picked up the garment and examined it. The Eight Trigrams Dharma Robe was extremely soft to the touch, like a feather, and the Dao Resonance it contained was indeed much stronger than the Golden Spirit Pearl Primal Chaos Banner in his hand.

Based solely on this point, none of Chen Wang's Spirit Artifact can compare to this one, except for the Immortal Slaughtering Bow.

"How many Spirit Stone? I'll buy it," Chen Wang said arrogantly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongfu was overjoyed and said, "Who said we couldn't do business? We've already closed one deal! The price is negotiable, let's talk about it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wang was momentarily stunned, realizing that this guy hadn't made a single sale yet.

However, Chen Wang didn't mind. After some bargaining with Zhao Gongfu, Chen Wang used the man's longsword, along with two other Spirit Artifact, to buy the Eight Trigrams Dharma Robe.

Defensive Spirit Artifact are always more expensive than offensive Spirit Artifact, and this Eight Trigrams Dharma Robe is clearly of very high quality, thanks in part to the fact that the items I have are also of Higher Vehicle quality.

Just when Zhao Gongfu thought the transaction was over, Chen Wang asked again, "Do you have anything that can withstand attacks from Law Treasure?"

Zhao Gongfu was taken aback. "Fellow Daoist, have you offended someone? Does the other party possess a powerful Law Treasure?"

Chen Wang nodded. "Not bad."

Logically speaking, Zhao Gongfu shouldn't have talked so much with Chen Wang, but whether it was his innate personality or his early experiences, he was very interested in robbery and murder.

After a conversation with Chen Wang, Zhao Gongfu stroked his chin.

"Generally speaking, Law Treasure artifacts have a hard time resisting attacks from Spirit Artifact. Having this Eight Trigrams Dharma Robe alone is not enough. I think you should get a set."

Chen Wang was taken aback. "A set?"

Zhao Gongfu nodded. "That's right. Offensive Spirit Artifact require a great deal of mental energy to control, but defensive Spirit Artifact have a unique advantage in this regard. I recommend a few Spirit Artifact that react quickly and can protect themselves."

At first, Chen Wang thought this person was going to take advantage of him, but after he took a few Spirit Artifact, Chen Wang sensed them and found that they were indeed extraordinary.

"He was a bandit in his younger days, so he really knows his stuff," Chen Wang thought to himself.

He possesses many Spirit Artifact and some Spirit Stone, which he can use to make up Spirit Stone difference when needed.

So when he left the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, he changed into several other pieces of equipment.

He looked ordinary, but the boots he wore were called Cloud Chasing Boots, which could increase his Movement Method and defense.

The belt is called "Sea Born Bright Moon," a poetic name. It is also a defensive Spirit Artifact and has storage functions.

Chen Wang possessed a fine Storage Artifact called Square Inch, which belonged to Kong Zhang of Dragon Head Mountain. Moreover, this Storage Artifact could also enhance Sword Qi, making it a rare treasure in the Cultivation World.

But after the "Sea Born Bright Moon" effect was activated, the special effects made Chen Wang pause for a moment again.

A screen of light appeared behind him, shimmering and sparkling, with a bright moon hanging behind his head.

Upon seeing this, Chen Wang could only think four words: "Holy crap, awesome!"

He immediately took action and captured it.

Chen Wang's clothes were Eight Trigrams Dharma Robe, which could be sized and changed at will, protecting him from the cold in winter and the heat in summer, and were impervious to water and fire. The jade pendant hanging at his waist was called the Dragon Tiger Jade Pendant.

It contains the aura of dragons and tigers, which is auspicious and can protect cultivators from falling into inner demons. It is a rare treasure during cultivation and can also protect the Three Souls and Seven Spirits. It is also a very powerful Spirit Artifact.

Chen Wang has now undergone a complete transformation, with all these magical Spirit Artifact allowing him to elevate his combat power to a new level.

If a real fight breaks out, the sheer number of Spirit Artifact she possesses would likely dazzle others.

Arrogant!
