Li Fuchan sat cross-legged in the quiet room, placing the Enchanted Sword across his lap. He gently brushed the spine of the sword, finding it cool to the touch and its sharpness concealed.

This sword is called [Ten-Thousand-Li Subduer]. It is three feet and seven inches long, and its entire body Silver-White. A purple jade is inlaid on the scabbard, and a dark blue sword tassel hangs from it. It is simple and elegant, but it cannot hide the sharpness that comes out of the scabbard.

This is a genuine magic Law Artifact of the Outer Scenery level, far superior to the one Gu Liuru forged for him back then.

If he possesses other Destiny that he can utilize, and he refines them into a Register Qi to enhance the Tribulation Qi, then this sword will surely become a Law Treasure.

And this new Magic Robe I'm wearing—I didn't know how bad it was until I put it on. The "Yulun" robe that Quan Yong had given me before was utterly Quan Yong.

An Enchanted Sword and a Magic Robe, both of excellent quality, were delivered to him so easily and effortlessly.

How could Li Fuchan not become suspicious?

He looked away from the sword, his mind racing.

"What exactly is True Lord Chi Sui's intention? Is bringing me back to Azure Ram Temple related to Azure Ram Temple's recent killing of the 'Wandering Gold' cultivator?"

Li Fuchan currently has too little information, especially regarding why Azure Ram Temple would take action against the "Wandering Gold" cultivators under its jurisdiction, even at the cost of confronting Pivot Court, in order to kill those "Wandering Gold" cultivators hidden by the Yang Family.

He was completely baffled; this lack of intelligence and information left him in a very passive position.

As for the attitude of that Purple Mansion Lord, it was shrouded in a thick fog, impossible to even guess. He pondered these thoughts repeatedly in his mind, but seeing that he couldn't figure it out, he didn't force it and gently suppressed those thoughts.

In fact, this is the normal state of affairs for Rogue Cultivator in this world.

Even with exceptional Lower Cultivator and meticulous thinking, a person of low rank will find their efforts futile.

All that Lower Cultivator could ever do was rely on aristocratic Aristocratic Clan, immortal Immortal Sect, and the Purple Mansion Lord.

His current identity and situation truly reflect the true nature of this Lower Cultivator world.

The blessings and protection he received in the Northern Lands seem far too idealistic for him now; there's absolutely no way he could replicate them.

His trip to South of the Yangtze this time was naturally for his own reasons.

Firstly, unlike overseas regions, where thunderstorms are frequent and the sun is often not visible, the climate in Jiangnan is more suitable for all four seasons, which greatly benefits his cultivation of the Shaoyin Daoist tradition and the "autumn moon and frost" yang phenomenon.

Secondly, the Overseas are impoverished, making it extremely difficult to obtain suitable Cultivation Resources and Spirit Object. Even if he were lucky enough to encounter something suitable, given his status Rogue Cultivator, he couldn't buy it even if he had the money.

Overseas, influence Rogue Cultivator are even more important than at home, making it extremely difficult for Overseas cultivators to make any progress.

Relying on powerful Aristocratic Clan is utterly meaningless.

Most of the Aristocratic Clan at sea migrated from within the sea, forming their own groups and systems, and they would never easily recruit outside Rogue Cultivator. The remaining cultivators could only rely on Monster, and even if they just wanted to pay homage to a certain Monster, they would have to offer at least a thousand pieces of blood as a gift before they could even get a meeting.

Li Fuchan would never serve as a subordinate to a Blood-Consuming Cultivation, man-eating Monster.

Therefore, things were inconvenient for him Overseas.

Although South of the Yangtze is not peaceful, at least the states of Song and Qi are above it, so large-scale killings do not occur among cultivators, and Immortal Sect do not act too openly.

Compared to Overseas, South of the Yangtze is much more stable, and since he is more familiar with South of the Yangtze, he is naturally more adept at doing things.

He couldn't even use his Tribulation Qi Tribulation Divination for the time being, yet he dared to return to South of the Yangtze from Overseas and even actively seek refuge with Azure Ram Temple. This couldn't possibly be just because of the empty phrase "Lesser Yin under heaven are one family."

His current identity is that of Lesser Yin, and Lesser Yin is a path of harmony favored by various schools of thought, which will not cause too much conflict with any particular Dao Lineage.

In addition, his background this time is clean, he is not coerced by "Li Thunder", he does not need to stir up trouble, and he is covered by "Embrace-Lock Crouching Cicada". Although it cannot be said that he is completely safe, it is not difficult to seek some stability.

Moreover, with his abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to become Rogue Cultivator in South of the Yangtze or to be affiliated with any Aristocratic Clan or Immortal Sect.

However, the real trump card and means that emboldened him to act so boldly was still Heaven of Separation.

As early as his final Tribulation Divination in the Northern Lands, he had already confirmed that "Jade Pivot Thunder Canon" could escape from the hands of the Purple Mansion Lord.

Even if he were truly cursed with the worst luck imaginable, and a Purple Mansion Lord were to target him, or even if True Lord Chi Sui of Qingyang Azure Ram Temple were plotting against him, he could instantly escape into the Heaven of Separation with the "Jade Pivot Thunder Canon." Although it would probably be difficult to stay in South of the Yangtze at that time, Overseas would be his way out.

It can attack or defend; there's nothing to hesitate about.

He sorted out these thoughts one by one to ensure that his mind would be clear and undisturbed by external things later.

Then, he looked inward again at the Tribulation Qi being slowly refined deep within his consciousness, and muttered to himself, "This Tribulation Qi lacks a compatible Destiny and cannot become Register Qi; it can only be used to enhance the mystique of 'Embrace-Lock Crouching Cicada.' Right now, I must quickly replenish my 'Nature Root' and 'Fate Root' before using the Tribulation Qi to push my cultivation to the True Person level in one fell swoop. Only then will I truly have a foundation to stand on in this world. When my realm is higher in the future, I will also need to find a way to cultivate some Destiny-Bearer and use their Destiny to refine Register Qi for me."

For him, replenishing his "Nature Root" and "Fate Root" was not a difficult task.

The root of the problem lies in one's level of Dao Attainment.

In the Northern Lands Tribulation Divination, why was he able to advance his realm to the Inner Vision and Attaining the Dao Fruit so quickly after refining the Life Treasure?

It was precisely because his Dao Attainment of "Li Thunder" was so profound that no one in his time could match it.

His claim that the person with the highest level of "Li Thunder" Dao Attainment in this world was not an arrogant statement, but a fact.

Originally, he could have converted at least 40% of his "Leaving Thunder" cultivation into the Lesser Yin cultivation, but because of the sudden backlash from Leaving Thunder, he had to cause the "Yin Wufu" image to collapse, resulting in a significant loss of his cultivation.

"To gain it is my fortune, to lose it is my fate."

After a long while, he muttered to himself, as if gently turning the page. He weighed the Storage Bag in his hand, took out several Spirit Object and examined them carefully. His expression gradually calmed down. "Regardless of what the Purple Mansion of Azure Ram Temple really thinks of me, at least their attitude isn't bad. They gave me a magic Law Artifact first, and then Spirit Object. I'll just accept them and use them for now."

"Originally, I was worried about where to find Spirit Object to replace the Lesser Yin Path, but now that I have these, it's no problem to replenish my 'Nature Root' within ten years. Moreover, I can take this opportunity to cultivate the Wu-Gui Di-Yin Spell Light's at the same time."

The Lesser Yin Spirit Object left to him by the Azure Ram Temple Purple Mansion Lord of Qingyang Temple is named:

[Crimson Frost Separation Grease].
