Transmigration begins with archery training

"..."

After leaving the Medicine Valley, Chen Sanshi lay in wait in a deserted place until he was sure that the entire Twilight Valley was safe before returning to his cave.

Before we even arrived at the destination, we saw a figure waiting at the entrance.

"Master Bai."

After greeting him, Chen Sanshi said directly, "I am aware of what happened today. If I, Xiao, am implicated in the Bai family, I don't need to come back."

"Fellow Daoist Xiao is joking."

Bai Liangbi shook his head slightly and said, "The search is just a pretext. Even without you, they would have found another reason to break in. This matter cannot be blamed on you, fellow Daoist."

"But speaking of which, you actually have connections with the Zhuxian Sect and the people of Dongsheng Divine Continent?"

A few days ago.

The commotion caused by that group was truly significant; they killed over a hundred righteous cultivators from the Beiyang Sect, making it arguably the biggest case in a century.

In the past, even if there were evil practitioners causing trouble, it was basically a game of "cat and mouse," with them hiding all day long. How could they dare to come out and confront them openly?

"To deal with the Li family, I alone certainly cannot do it."

Chen Sanshi said frankly, "The Zhuxian Sect and Shenzhou are both forces that cannot be ignored. In fact, I suggest to Patriarch Bai that if the situation gets out of control and there is nowhere to retreat, perhaps we can consider retreating to the Han Dynasty."

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, there's no need to try to win them over. Cooperation is fine, but there's absolutely no possibility of them joining us."

Bai Liangbi calmly said, "Firstly, the spiritual energy in Dongsheng Shenzhou is scarce. If we cultivators were to end up there, we would probably only be able to eke out a living."

"Secondly, the Shengyun Sect has been busy with the sealing matter. It is estimated that the sealing will be opened in the next few years. When that time comes, sects will flood in, and they will probably be unable to protect themselves, let alone take in others."

"Furthermore, I do not recommend that Fellow Daoist Xiao get too close to those mortals. In the end, they are just Foundation Establishment level families at most, and they will not amount to much."

"I have already sent a letter to the Qingxu Sect, and they will surely send someone over soon. At that time, my Bai family may relocate as a whole, and I hope Fellow Daoist Xiao can accompany us."

"After the relocation, the conditions in all aspects will only be better than those in Twilight Valley, not worse. Fellow Daoist Xiao, please consider this carefully."

"move?"

Chen Sanshi didn't press the matter further and could only say, "I will consider it carefully."

"Since you know what happened during the day, you must also know about the Divine Wood Elixir."

Bai Liangbi said, "To express our sincerity, the Bai family can help you cultivate a thousand-year-old medicinal plant."

Chen Sanshi knew that this was the other party's way of trying to keep him as long as possible.

He didn't stand on ceremony: "Then I'll accept it without hesitation."

"Once you've decided what you want, just tell me."

Bai Liangbi said nothing more, brushed past the other party, and quickly disappeared.

"..."

Looking at the footprints left by the other party, Chen Sanshi felt that something was amiss.

"It's weird."

He had noticed something was wrong when he was in the Medicine Valley.

It should be noted that the conflict between the Bai family and the Demon Suppression Division is not a recent development; similar situations occurred several years ago.

In the past two years, these people have clearly shown a desire to obtain the Bai family's treasures, but they dare not let the Shengyun Sect know the inside story.

Since they had painstakingly planned for so long, why would they suddenly act rashly, force their way into Twilight Valley, attract the Rising Cloud Sect, and expose everything?

Either they were incredibly stupid and didn't expect the Ascending Cloud Sect to come, or...

It's on purpose!

The two sides reached a tacit understanding to deceive the Shengyun Sect in this way.

In other words, the so-called Nine-Colored Divine Wood Elixir was just a facade; the Bai family's true treasure had never been revealed.

Thinking about this, Chen Sanshi was somewhat surprised.

Because the Divine Wood Elixir is already precious enough, just half a glass bottle seen today is enough to create more than two Golden Core cultivators.

If they are still hiding it, it can only mean that the item is more precious than the Divine Wood Elixir.

What could be more precious than the ability to guarantee the cultivation of a Golden Core?

No wonder there are undercurrents in Beiyang Road; the main reason is probably that they're after something.

Based on the information Chen Sanshi knew, the Bai family, the Li family, and the Demon Suppression Division were negotiating, presumably to discuss the distribution of the real treasure, but so far they had not reached an agreement.

As a result, the chaos has not yet subsided.

Everything that follows depends on what the Void Sect will do.

The Bai family's intentions were clear: they wanted to offer their goods to the Qingxu Sect in exchange for protection.

If the Qingxu Sect really sends someone here, Chen Sanshi can try to make contact and see if he can get reinforcements. Even if they are unwilling to help, he should try to find a way out for the core personnel of the court through the Qingxu Sect, such as a hidden place where they can hide.

No one in the world can be certain of victory, but you must do it with the belief that you will win.

Right now, Chen Sanshi has two things to prepare for: first, to gain control of the teleportation array in Daze Market, and second, to prepare for the upcoming Nine Nether Forbidden Land trial.

Without hesitation, he disguised himself and came to Daze Market with an unfamiliar face, intending to arrange a meeting with Qu Lingchuan of Xiaozhu Peak through the rogue cultivator Mo Zhu. However, he did not find the old man at his usual stall, so he had no choice but to wait at his residence.

It wasn't until dusk that Mo Zhu was seen slowly walking towards them, carrying a gourd of wine.

After some time apart, the old man had become even more aged, walking with a hunched back, and his robes were torn, as if he had been in a fight not long ago.

After inquiring, I learned that the other party was going hunting in Chiling Mountain.

Chen Sanshi jokingly asked, "Fellow Daoist Mo, as a talisman master, why would you choose to engage in such a dangerous business?"

Mo Zhu took a breath and clicked his tongue, saying, "I'm not an ambitious person. I've spent my whole life stuck in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, but I have to think about the younger generation, right? Recently, various sects have been recruiting disciples. My grandson's talent is mediocre, so I need to pull some strings to give him a chance to become an outer disciple."

"This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar. Were you introduced by a friend? Are you here to buy talismans, or is there anything I can do for you?"

"Help me arrange to meet someone."

Chen Sanshi took out two spirit stones: "They're in the tavern in the town, fifty miles from the market."

He stated his detailed requirements.

"okay!"

Mo Zhu didn't ask any more questions.

Two hours later.

Chen Sanshi waited for the person he was supposed to meet in an ordinary tavern.

Qu Lingchuan stood at the tavern entrance, his hands behind his back, secretly forming hand seals. He cautiously observed the people inside before carefully approaching the table.

Chen Sanshi then revealed Xiao Feng's face.

"It's you?"

Qu Lingchuan took a half step back: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, we have no enmity between us. What brings you here today?"
