Transmigration begins with archery training

The Bai family relies entirely on their ancestor, Bai Xifeng, but this ancestor is like a candle flickering in the wind; if he were to fall, Twilight Valley would likely face annihilation.

Chen Sanshi's future martial arts resources will become a troublesome matter again!

However, if it truly is a priceless treasure, forcing his way into it with his current strength would not only fail to bring him any benefits, but could also lead to his death.

Observe the situation first.

If all else fails...

After the retreat ends, I can just go somewhere else!

There are plenty of martial arts families in Tianshuizhou Market, and the Bai family is not the only one. Even if you really can't find one, you can still go to Qingxu Sect for help. It's just a waste of time.

in fact……

Chen Sanshi owes the Bai family a favor. If they are willing, they can simply take the so-called treasure and run away to their territory to avoid trouble.

The Bai family should be aware of this as well.

But perhaps out of suspicion, or for some other reason, the Bai family never contacted him through Old Man Mo Zhu.

He didn't want to speak up first, lest he appear to be coveting the treasure.

Never mind, let's talk about it after we reach Foundation Establishment!

Having made up his mind, he sped up and headed towards the ends of the earth. Along the way, he changed his appearance several times to make sure no one noticed before using the jade token to teleport away from Tianshui and return to Dongsheng Shenzhou.

It was now August of the seventh year of the Tianwu era.

In the past six months, the imperial court has received many impeachment letters from lower-level officials. Many high-ranking officials in various prefectures are seriously corrupt, leading to widespread public discontent.

Unlike ordinary people.

In the past, when such matters occurred, due to the long distance, it could take several months or even half a year for a round trip by carriage. The imperial court could only send imperial envoys to investigate the case, and they would inevitably encounter all sorts of troubles along the way.

But when Chen Sanshi saw the mountain of impeachment memorials, many of which were of dubious authenticity, he finally made a tough decision and set aside two months for a clandestine investigation.

In just a few years, the Han Dynasty court had cultivated a group of self-interested factions, which annoyed him, especially in the Tongtian River basin.

Some officials embezzled construction funds, causing the river dam to collapse, flooding several prefectures and inundating the farmland of hundreds of thousands of people.

In the end, the "Tongtian River" case alone involved more than two thousand officials, resulting in a bloodbath with heads rolling and rivers flowing.

Although corrupt officials are difficult to eradicate completely, the overall situation is still developing in a positive direction under the Han Dynasty's policy of "light taxes and low burdens".

After nearly ten years of accumulation, the national treasury has become increasingly full. In about two more years, we can begin to take over the three surrounding kingdoms and completely unify the Central Plains.

After dealing with major cases across the country, Chen Sanshi returned to the capital and received a report from the Embroidered Uniform Guard that His Highness Prince Yu had committed murder.

He initially thought it was his rebellious son who had caused the disaster, but after careful questioning, he learned that it was actually the roaring golden beast that had killed several corrupt officials.

The specific reason was that wealthy families in the local county colluded with the county magistrate to deliberately dig open the dam during a torrential downpour while the "Tongtian River" was in disrepair, artificially creating a flood that inundated many local fields. Then, when the surplus grain was exhausted the following year and the villagers faced famine, they took the opportunity to buy up the fertile land at a low price.

Chen Duhe was among those involved. He had been farming for years and felt the hardship involved. He was furious that his hard-earned savings were about to be swindled away.

This time, he finally understood what it meant to "bully the weak".

Chen Sanshi's goal has been achieved.

The reason we sent our rebellious son to the countryside was not to "raise him in poverty," but simply to instill empathy in him. This requires personal experience to achieve.

Otherwise, they might actually say something like "Why don't they eat meat porridge?" in the future.

Moreover, in the future, only those who have climbed up from the bottom will understand the intricacies of governing the country and will not be deceived by officials.

For two consecutive years.

Chen Sanshi did not leave Chang'an again, but quietly stayed in the Wujiang Palace in Tianyong City to cultivate in seclusion. His cultivation level had finally reached the threshold for a breakthrough.

He sat cross-legged, his superior spiritual root greedily absorbing the spiritual energy within Tianyong City. After circulating it throughout his body, he refined it into magical power, which he then integrated into his dantian, condensing the last wisp of mist.

[Cultivation Technique: Fire Swallowing Technique, Qi Refining Level 9]

Progress: 0/0 (Foundation Building Possible)

[Effect: Flame Spell]

[Flame Spell: Controlling Unclaimed Flames]

The difference between [Fire Magic] and [Flame Spell] is that originally one could only control ordinary fire and add magic power to it, but now one can control flames of different strengths according to changes in one's realm.

After reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining, one can begin preparing for Foundation Establishment.

The so-called foundation building, as the name suggests, is the foundation of the Dao. Only with a solid foundation can one attain the Dao and reach the heavens in the future; otherwise, it is just a castle in the air.

In ancient times, it is said that Foundation Establishment Pills were not needed for Foundation Establishment because the great war between good and evil destroyed a large number of ancestral veins, causing changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

After that, Foundation Establishment became extremely difficult, requiring the use of rare and precious materials or elixirs to succeed.

Furthermore, there is only one chance to establish a foundation. You can consume multiple Foundation Establishment Pills at once to increase the probability, but you cannot interrupt the process. Once interrupted, your foundation will be severed, and you will never have another chance to establish a foundation in this lifetime.

However, the Foundation Establishment Pill has another function: it can increase the upper limit of Qi Refining.

Ordinary cultivators can only reach around sixteen levels at most, but those who have consumed a Foundation Establishment Pill are said to have no upper limit and can continue cultivating indefinitely.

of course.

The magical power of a Qi Refining cultivator cannot undergo a qualitative change. No matter how many layers it accumulates, even a hundred or two hundred layers, it is still no match for a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"call--"

Chen Sanshi adjusted his breathing, silently recited the calming mantra several times, and did not do anything for several days in a row, including temporarily handing over political affairs to the cabinet.

Before establishing a foundation, both the body and mind need to be adjusted to their best state.

Because the opportunity only comes once, and once it is missed, it is impossible to build a foundation again.

After sitting in meditation for two months, Chen Sanshi still couldn't find the method and dared not hastily consume the Foundation Establishment Pill.

He knew that if he continued, he would become increasingly agitated and had to temporarily suspend his seclusion and stop to change his mindset.

"Let's go take a look at Tianyong City."

Chen Sanshi left the Wujiang Palace.

In October of the ninth year of Tianwu.

After several years of development, Tianyong City has taken shape.

There are over eight hundred Qi Refining cultivators, among whom there is a Heaven-grade Golden Spirit Root named Zhou Weizhen. Relying on the limited number of pills available in Tianyong City, he has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining in just a few years, making him a standout among the younger generation. This person is very ambitious, even excessively so, and he asks for medicine almost every time he has an audience with the emperor.

There are also five or six people with superior spiritual roots, all of whom have cultivation levels of around the fourth level of Qi Refining. If resources are sufficient, they will all be potential Golden Core cultivators.

Disciple Su Can, Martial Saint.

Yu Ji, Qi Refining Level 3.

Yu Lie, the mystical phenomena are complete.

Sima Chi and Sima Lan were still in the early stages of True Strength.
