Transmigration begins with archery training

Ronghua City is one of the four major cities of Beiyang Road. It is the private property of Shengyun Sect. From the outside, it is no different from an ordinary mortal city.

The Qin Residence in Lane 1, Fenlin Road.

This area is devoid of spiritual energy, yet the houses there are all very grand, and the residents are mostly low-level cultivators.

"Dong dong!"

After disguising himself, Chen Sanshi stepped forward and gently knocked on the door.

Soon after, a mortal steward came out. At first, he showed a very impatient expression, but after seeing the magic that the other party had just displayed, he turned extremely obsequious: "Oh, so it is the immortal master. You look unfamiliar. May I ask what brings you here?"

"My surname is Lin."

Chen Sanshi said calmly, "I'm here to see Fellow Daoist Qin."

"Please wait a moment, Immortal Master, while I go and inform him!"

The butler left in a hurry.

Not long after, an obese cultivator emerged, reeking of alcohol. His cultivation level was only at the second level of Qi Refining.

"Who is it? I've never met anyone with the surname Lin before..."

Qin Tao stopped mid-sentence, unable to look Qin Tao in the eye, and bowed deeply, his obese body trembling with fear as he offered a fawning compliment: "Senior, what brings you to my humble abode?"

I heard~

Chen Sanshi walked into the courtyard on his own: "You're hiding a lot of women here?"

"Harmful!"

Qin Tao dared not stop them, and simply followed closely behind: "They're all lowly women, only a few of them are somewhat attractive. Senior, this is..."

"take it easy."

Chen Sanshi said calmly, "Since we're passing through this area, we plan to buy some people to take back as servants. Call all the people from your household over here."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Qin Tao quickly did as instructed.

Soon, more than twenty young women gathered in the courtyard.

But among them was not the person Chen Sanshi wanted to see. He asked, "Anyone else?"

"No, that's all."

Qin Tao was somewhat confused.

"I'm asking you, is there anything else?"

Chen Sanshi repeated.

"Senior Lin, are you referring to the Li family member with the inferior mixed spiritual root?"

Qin Tao explained, "It's really unfortunate, a few days ago, he... he died..."

As he spoke, he already sensed something was wrong.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator in front of them was clearly here for a specific person.

Can……

That woman surnamed Li, her family was just an ordinary farming household, how could she be involved with a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

"Spiritual roots?"

Chen Sanshi asked, "Does she have spiritual roots?"

"Yes, but it's very faint, so faint that even those at the first level of Qi Refining have difficulty finding it. I only discovered it recently."

As Qin Tao spoke, he knelt down and explained in a trembling voice, "Senior, Li's death has nothing to do with me!"

"On the contrary, I have always been very good to their family!"

"Because of my connections, their family has always been able to get tax exemptions, and when the Li family goes back to send things, the younger generation turns a blind eye!"

"Her, her death..."

"It's because a senior recently visited my home and saw that she had spiritual roots, so he offered them to the young city lord to practice the recently popular technique of absorbing spiritual energy."

"Senior, it really has nothing to do with me!"

"Where is the body?"

Chen Sanshi closed his eyes: "Take me there."

"It's most likely a mass grave."

Qin Tao cautiously raised his eyes, and only after confirming that the other party had no intention of killing him did he hurriedly scramble to his feet.

Chen Sanshi grabbed him by the neck and then soared into the sky.

Guided by the other party, they arrived at a desolate mountain outside the city.

It was called a mass grave, but there was no burial at all. A pile of women's corpses were scattered around, and packs of wild dogs were crawling around eating them. Among them was Sister Ping An's body.

"boom--"

Chen Sanshi raised his hand and unleashed a sword qi technique, instantly killing all the wild dogs.

"Senior, senior, spare me! It really has nothing to do with me!"

Qin Tao collapsed to the ground, his legs trembling, and dark yellow liquid kept oozing out.

"What are you afraid of? Come on, eat this."

Chen Sanshi handed over a pill.

Even though Qin Tao knew it was poisonous, he had no choice but to obediently take it.

"I ask you."

Chen Sanshi said expressionlessly, "Where does the young city lord you mentioned live?"

"No, no, senior!"

Qin Tao pleaded, "There are a large number of Demon Suppression Division guards in the city, as well as the city lord and others. If we make a move in the city rashly, we will definitely not be able to leave alive!"

"You have a point."

Chen Sanshi agreed, "How about this, you think of a way for me."

"A auction!"

Qin Tao said with a sob in his voice, "Soon after, there will be an auction for the furnace cauldron. Because it is not a public event, it will be held outside the city!"

"This auction requires identity verification; strangers will not be allowed to enter."

"But... but I can help you, senior!"

"Although my cultivation level is low, I have been involved in the furnace and cauldron selling circle for a long time. Many seniors were introduced by me. I can guarantee to bring them in."

"Okay, it's a deal."

Chen Sanshi said, "The poison pill you ate is called the 'Blood Melting Pill.' After the poison takes effect, your meridians will rot and your internal organs will melt, causing you to die. Don't have any evil thoughts. This poison is something I created myself, and only I can cure it. After it's done, I will give you the antidote."

"I understand, I understand!"

Qin Tao kowtowed repeatedly.

Without uttering a single wasted word, Chen Sanshi finished his instructions, then flew away on his sword and disappeared into the clouds.

He first returned to Daze Market and told the people of Zhuxian Sect that he had agreed to participate in the upcoming attack before returning to Twilight Valley.

While ordering Zhang Shun to allocate manpower, he also sought to learn more about the auction through the Zhuxian Sect.

This auction will not only feature people, but also many resources needed by cultivators, including spirit beasts, magical artifacts, cultivation techniques, and more...

And many of them are items that cannot be found in regular auctions.

The imperial court lacks resources, so this is a good opportunity to collect some.

Chen Sanshi opened the storage bag.

After more than a decade of depletion, he only had a little over five hundred low-grade spirit stones left in his inventory.

Of course, participating in an auction does not necessarily require paying money.

Since the auction was tainted to begin with, it was only natural for the imperial court to confiscate these items.

Over the next month, Zhang Shun used the jade token to begin transferring manpower from Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Wang Zhi, Rong Yanqiu, and others entered the scene one after another, hiding in various villages and towns in Beiyang Road where ordinary people lived.

The trial, brought forward!

……

Chen Sanshi continued to cultivate and refine pills in Twilight Valley, and with the help of the second-tier spiritual vein, his cultivation level continued to rise.

Inside the alchemy workshop.

Bai Liangbi, the head of the Bai family, reappeared: "Tong'er, you may leave now. I will assist Fellow Daoist Xiao in this alchemy."

"boom--"

The formation connected to the fire vein, and the furnace began to hum.

Chen Sanshi sensed the medicinal herbs in the alchemy furnace; the difficulty of refining them was even greater than the last time.

Another thousand-year-old medicinal herb?
