Warren's Rise and Fall

In the following days, Wang Lunwo, Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yaner settled down in the village. The village was as peaceful as a paradise, surrounded by green mountains and clear waters. They made full use of the rich resources obtained from the bandit stronghold to practice, constantly exploring and breaking through on the road of cultivation, and their strength was steadily growing.

Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the bluestone road in the village, Wang Lunwo gets up early and goes to an open space behind the village. He closes his eyes, stands tall, and slowly circulates the spiritual power in his body. The breath of the Great Way of Water flows through his meridians like a lively stream. Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yan'er also practice in their own rooms. From time to time, waves of spiritual power are emitted from their rooms, which are signs that they are breaking through the realm.

In addition to cultivation, they also often help villagers solve some problems in life. The farmland irrigation system in the village broke down. Wang Lunwo used the power of the earth element to cleverly dredge the blocked ditch, allowing the clear river water to moisten the dry land again. The children were full of curiosity about cultivating immortals, so they taught the children some simple knowledge and principles of cultivating immortals in their spare time. Wang Lunwo patiently told the children the meaning of cultivating immortals, which was not only to pursue powerful power, but also to protect the people and land they cherished. Sima Yan'er gently taught the children how to sense the elements of heaven and earth around them, allowing them to have a preliminary understanding of the wonders of cultivating immortals.

Although their lives are plain, they are full of meaning. On this land, they are like hardworking gardeners, sowing seeds of hope. These seeds have taken root and sprouted in the hearts of the villagers, making everyone full of expectations for the future. They know that the road to immortality is long and arduous, but as long as they persevere, they will be able to realize their ideals and pursuits and protect the land and people they love deeply.

A few days later, General Qi from Nanli City came to visit. When General Qi led a group of soldiers into the village, the heavy footsteps broke the original tranquility of the village.

"Oh, Wang Lunwo, Wang Tianjiao, Master Changsun, and Miss Sima, you really saved our officers and soldiers in Nanli City a lot of trouble, and brought long-term peace to the people of our Yunan Mountains. Now the remaining forces of the Twelve Bandits have been completely destroyed by our officers and soldiers in Nanli City. I came here mainly to ask you whether you will attend the commendation meeting of Nanli City?" General Qi's face was full of smiles, and there seemed to be some flattery in that smile.

Wang Lunwo frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "General Qi, it is our duty as cultivators to eliminate banditry. As for the commendation meeting you mentioned, what is it about?"

General Qi smiled awkwardly and said, "I am the mayor of our Nanli City. Yan Nanfei heard that you have eliminated the twelve bandits, and he wanted to let the people in this area know about your deeds, so he held such a commendation meeting. I wonder if you would do me the honor to attend?"

Zhang Sun Mingzhi approached Wang Lunwo and whispered, "My dear brother, Yan Nanfei at least represents the official power. In other words, he is the Xuanyuan royal family. Since he has organized such a commendation meeting for us, we might as well do him a favor."

Wang Lunwo nodded. He understood what Changsun Mingzhi meant. In the world of cultivating immortals, the forces of all parties are complicated and intricate. It is beneficial for them to maintain a certain good relationship with the official forces. "Okay, General Qi, we will participate."

Hearing this, General Qi felt much more relaxed. He quickly said, "Okay, we'll meet in Nanli City in three days." He then ordered his soldiers to leave some gifts. The gifts filled the yard, including precious herbs, rare refining materials, and some exquisite ornaments.

After General Qi left, Wang Lunwo looked at the gifts and fell into deep thought. He thought for a moment and said to Changsun Mingzhi, "Brother Changsun, what is the meaning of Yan Changfei inviting us over? It shouldn't be just a simple reward, right?"

Changsun Mingzhi touched his chin and analyzed, "Well, I think he thinks we are quite powerful, especially you. Many people know that you have comprehended a trace of the aura of the Great Way of Water. As the mayor of this remote Nanli City, Yan Nanfei is probably only at the Perfection of the Condensation Realm at most. It is obviously impossible for him to wipe out the twelve bandits. So when he heard that we wiped out the twelve bandits, he probably wanted to see our methods, and then he might want to invest in you, because Yan'er and I are both from big families, and you have no sect or school, and you are not from a family. He should be investing in your future."

Wang Lunwo thought this made sense, and said, "In that case, let's just deal with it as it happens and act accordingly."
