My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 63 is highly favored
Watching Shen Changchuan's departing figure, Shen Chongshan ultimately did not make a move.

In this world, there are often certain rules that cannot be violated.

His rash rush into the ring already broke the rules of the ring competition.

His face was gloomy, and no one could know what he was thinking. He simply snorted and turned to leave the arena.

And at this moment,
the other side,
"This brother's methods are truly eye-opening!"

"Absolutely! Absolutely! Two perfect-level spells—even in the entire Qingcheng region, there are probably very few that can compare!"

"He will surely become famous far and wide in the future!"

"I am Zhong Fuxing, the manager of the Qiongyu Chamber of Commerce. This is my calling card. In the future, if you bring my calling card to any of the shops under the Qiongyu Chamber of Commerce, I will give you at least a 30% discount."

"I am Yu De of the Fulu Chamber of Commerce. This is my calling card."

When Shen Changchuan went to find Si Houqing to collect the remaining balance of the high-grade Qi-inducing pills...

Several guild leaders or administrators who were originally on the platform presiding over the notarization came forward, showering each other with praise and handing over their name cards.

Faced with those warm, smiling faces,
Shen Changchuan was clearly taken aback.

This was the first time he had ever felt so surrounded by admirers.

However, he quickly realized what was happening.

He replied with a few perfunctory words.
He accepted the visiting cards from Dishan one by one.

There is absolutely no need to refuse outright and offend the other party.

Moreover, there's no harm in having contact with these people.
At least it will be of great help in the future when I need to buy something or do some business.

Of course,
When actually doing business with them, Shen Changchuan would also be careful to conceal his identity to some extent.

Moreover, at least we should let this storm pass first, and then talk about it after the Shen family leaves.

This place is seven or eight thousand miles away from the Shen family's main camp in Tiannan City. Although the place is barren, there are countless cultivators. In fact, I am insignificant among them.

In such a situation, with great distances and limited communication,
As long as you don't openly proclaim your identity, it's not easy for anyone to recognize you, a nobody, without the Shen family present to identify you.

Speaking of,
Why was Shen Changchuan so wary of Wu Yuanzhi a few days ago, even trying to sever ties and draw a clear line instead of taking the opportunity to befriend him?
A large part of the reason is that Wu Yuanzhi recognized his identity!
You should know that Tiannan City is seven or eight thousand miles away, and he, an unknown nobody, did not attract any attention when he left the Shen family compound.

As a result, a local powerful clan in this remote and desolate land was able to accurately state their own identity.

Such in-depth investigation,

No one would believe that the other party had no ulterior motives.

Shen Changchuan has become so wary of ropes that he's been bitten by a snake once and is now afraid of them for ten years.

Because last time in this remote place, they recognized him immediately.
It's Zhao Han Gao from Zhao Family Village!

Later events proved that the other party indeed had malicious intentions, and eventually joined forces with others to launch an attack on him.

The reason they were able to break the deadlock last time was largely due to the relatively even difference in strength between the two sides.

At the same time, his opponent misjudged his strength, and he was able to seize the opportunity to catch his opponent off guard, thus ultimately succeeding in turning the tables.

Shen Changchuan didn't think that if the Wu family was using the same scheme this time,
I'm sure I'll get the same result as last time.

"The Wu family... Forget it. Since Wu Yuanzhi chose to expose my identity directly and also tried to subtly warn me, it seems he won't make a move against me."

"But no matter what, once this matter is over, let's leave immediately. This place is not safe to stay any longer."

Shen Changchuan remained outwardly calm, but several thoughts flashed through his mind.

At this time,

Worried that their powerful foreign aid would be poached, Si Houqing quickly stepped in.

First, he thanked Shen Changchuan for helping him win the arena battle. Then, he told the other business leaders that they didn't need to worry about the rest, as he would take care of Shen Changchuan. Moreover, since the agreed-upon compensation hadn't been paid yet, he and Shen Changchuan would leave first.

Shen Changchuan then took this opportunity to end his conversation with the enthusiastic chamber of commerce managers and bid farewell before leaving.

Back in the courtyard of the Sanhe Chamber of Commerce,
Si Houqing didn't waste any words.

He immediately pulled out a bottle of pills.

"These are the remaining seven high-grade Qi-inducing pills, Young Master Shen, please take a look."

He then gestured for them to proceed.

Shen Changchuan took it, opened the bottle, and a rich, mellow fragrance of medicinal pills filled the air.

Through the narrow opening, one could see round, bright-colored pills inside.

Shen Changchuan nodded.

"Manager Si is definitely a big businessman; he's certainly decisive!"

Shen Changchuan put the jade bottle into his storage bag, cupped his hands in greeting, and offered his compliments.

"Young Master Shen, you flatter me."

Between talking,

But then Si Houqing took out another jade bottle and placed it on the table.

"Manager Si, this is..."

"The Concentration and Qi Gathering Pill can increase the success rate of cultivators at the peak of the sixth level of Qi Induction to break through to the seventh level of Qi Induction."

"Since Young Master Shen has already obtained ten high-grade Qi-inducing pills, he only needs to go back and consume and refine them one by one. Soon he will be able to reach the peak of the sixth level of Qi-inducing."

"With this pill, Young Master Shen's chances of success during his breakthrough will increase by one or two percent."

"I hope to see you again in the future. Young Master Shen will have already reached the late stage of Qi Refining."

Si Houqing spoke eloquently with a smile on his face.

In the later stage of induced breathing,

In other big cities, this wouldn't be anything special, but in this desolate place, it's definitely considered expert!

Furthermore, if we add the two perfect-level spells that the opponent possesses...

Even looking at the entire Qingcheng region,
They are all extremely talented geniuses!

"This is something I cannot accept without merit."

Shen Changchuan's eyes flickered slightly.

This Mind-Concentrating and Qi-Gathering Pill naturally appealed to him. With this, coupled with his already powerful soul capable of introspection,
Once he reaches the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining, breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining will likely be much easier!

But the problem is,

This pill, which can aid in breaking through cultivation levels, is extremely valuable!

It should be noted that the Qi-integrating Pill that Shen Changchuan took to help him break through from the peak of the third level of Qi Induction to the fourth level cost more than 150 spirit stones within the family!

And this pill, which can increase the success rate of breaking through from the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level of Qi Refining, is probably even more expensive!

Its value is in no way inferior to the ten high-grade Qi-inducing pills that Shen Changchuan obtained!
Such a huge price,

What is the purpose?

This made Shen Changchuan somewhat wary.

"Haha! Young Master Shen, you're too kind. You helped me defeat that villain from the Wanghu Chamber of Commerce. The benefits I received afterward already exceeded the reward I gave you."

"This pill is an additional reward, and also a gift for me to get to know someone like Young Master Shen."

"Young Master Shen need not worry, I have something for you to do."

"I only hope that when Young Master Shen soars to the heavens and enters the realm of true cultivation, or even reaches a higher level, he will remember our friendship today and give me the opportunity to pay my respects."

Si Houqing made no attempt to conceal his intentions; he spoke frankly and sincerely about them.

Yes,

He's planning to invest ahead of time.

As a businessman, Si Houqing's judgment was naturally quite good.

From the overwhelming strength that the person in front of me displayed on the stage just now showed over Shen Rongguang, I have already sensed Shen Changchuan's extraordinary potential!
Judging from his age, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

He has already mastered two perfect-level spells!
After returning home, he took a high-grade Qi-inducing pill and advanced to the peak of the sixth level of Qi Induction.

At this age,
They have that kind of strength.

Even if its future potential is not limitless, it is definitely not low.

Faced with such a yet-to-be-prominent genius,

How could Si Houqing possibly let this opportunity slip by?!

Although, given Shen Changchuan's current performance,

It's not certain that I'll be able to break through to the Out-of-Body realm in the future.

After all, the bottleneck to the Nascent Soul realm is extremely difficult, and the barrier in front of it has blocked countless geniuses.

There are those who were once invincible at the Qi Refining stage, but who never broke through that barrier before they died.

Countless brilliant talents have fallen before that threshold.

However, as long as they are one or two tenths more skilled than other ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivators,

That's enough!

Regarding investments,

Ultimately, eight or nine out of ten will fail.

But if it succeeds just once...
That's enough to make back all the losses from before!
Just like now,

If Shen Changchuan is able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, what will this mere Qi Gathering Pill be worth?
of course,

It cannot be ruled out that the person in front of me is the kind of cold-hearted person who doesn't care about old friendships.

Even so, having this relationship means that relying on the other party's reputation in the future will save me a lot of trouble!
The hidden benefits that will come from this will far exceed the current investment!

not to mention,
Si Houqing has traveled extensively throughout the country over the years and has gained considerable experience.

He didn't think he could have misjudged someone.

"If Young Master Shen ever needs anything in the future, please feel free to come to me. I will do my best to help within my power!"

"Putting everything else aside, as long as Mr. Si is in charge of the Sanhe Trading Company, Young Master Shen will be able to obtain the greatest preferential treatment from the Sanhe Trading Company."

Considering Shen Changchuan's age,
Furthermore, the appearance of the Shen family of Tiannan prompted Si Houqing to add some more details.

of course,

It's just a matter of adding a little more bet.

It's impossible to go all in because of this.

Going all in is not a sign of wisdom.
On the contrary, it's a foolish act of deliberately courting death.

at this point,
As a businessman, he knew this all too well.

"In that case, I thank Manager Si!"

Shen Changchuan clasped his hands in a salute to him, a hint of gratitude showing on his face.

Since it was just angel investment, he felt perfectly justified in accepting it.

After all, with this elixir,
The time it would take me to advance to the seventh level of Qi Refining in the future will be reduced by at least two or three years of hard work!
As for the future

We'll talk about that later.

After all, investment is investment.
There's no such thing as a guaranteed return on investment in this world, is there?
They chatted for a while longer.

Shen Changchuan left with a wealth of knowledge and experience.

And after that,
He also planned to leave.

Although this trip yielded many unexpected gains.

But that didn't change his initial decision.

This was not merely because of a sense of unease he sensed deep within himself.

More importantly,

The trip to Wujiaji was already quite fruitful.

There's no point in staying here any longer.

Now, all he wants to do is...
We'll go back to Dawancun first.
We must fully digest the gains from this trip and transform them into our own strength and foundation before making any further decisions.
