Transmigration begins with archery training

After crossing the forest of swords and blades, a wide-open view unfolds ahead.

Looking out, the undulating mountains were shrouded in a pale yellow mist, and from time to time, unseen spirit beasts glided across the sky. Every now and then, fluctuations of spiritual energy would come from all directions.

"magician!"

"Kill them..."

"..."

Chen Sanshi had not walked five miles forward when he encountered a group of ghosts.

There were seven or eight ghostly blue spirits in total. They appeared to be incomplete human forms and were all carrying flying swords. They charged at the living beings as soon as they sensed them.

"The Three Realms and Six Paths have all been ruined by you demons!"

"Give us back our tradition!"

"You guys..."

"magician……"

"..."

They performed sword control techniques with ferocious expressions, roaring continuously during the process. However, whether due to the remnants of their souls or something else, their voices were intermittent and indistinct, making them difficult to hear clearly.

"Wow—"

Deng Wuchang drew his blade, which split in two, one gold and one purple, one long and one short. He activated his breathing technique, and his body seemed to inflate continuously. His specially made battle robe clung tightly to his strong physique, his hands transformed into beast claws, and his face became inhuman.

It has lion-like hair and deer-like antlers, a camel-like head and tiger-like ears, and its entire body shines with golden light. Its flesh is covered with neatly arranged scales.

Beast Breathing Technique!

Similar to the Sima clan.

Deng Wuchang practiced the Golden Hou Breathing Technique!

With a stomp of his feet, the ground sank several inches, and his body transformed into a golden stream of light. In an instant, he burst into the ranks of the ghosts, his twin swords slashing down one after another. The combined true energy was like a sharp tornado, and in just a few rounds, he annihilated all the remaining souls, causing them to be completely scattered.

Throughout the entire process, Chen Sanshi didn't even make a move. He praised, "Brother Deng, your knife skills are superb."

"That is."

Deng Wuchang, without any modesty, reverted to his human form: "Fortunately, these remnant souls only have the strength of Qi Refining. I heard that remnant souls with strength close to Golden Core appeared in the early forbidden areas. There might be some in the second forbidden area as well. We should be careful from now on."

After traversing several thickets, the two found a hillside covered with second-tier spiritual plants.

"hiss!"

Deng Wuchang grinned, looking somewhat troubled: "My storage bag is full. Brother Xiao, could you lend me one?"

In this secret realm where treasures abound, the value of a storage bag far exceeds that of individual rare and precious materials.

But Chen Sanshi was well prepared. Over the years, he had seized countless storage bags as spoils of war, and he brought a full twelve with him on this trip to the forbidden area.

He wasn't stingy and handed over two at once: "Brother Deng, there's no need to rush. Unless you encounter something particularly precious, there's no need to waste space."

"Thank you!"

Deng Wuchang didn't care about that; he immediately filled the storage bag.

Chen Sanshi only selected the older medicinal herbs, leaving the rest to Qingniao to deliver messages, so that the Tianyong City officers who followed would behave themselves.

Not long after crossing the hillside, he successfully located the "dragon bone wood" specifically used for building warships, based on the information he had researched in ancient books beforehand.

This tree looks like countless bones bound together, and its bark is like dragon scales. It is at least eight hundred years old and could be used to build a large ferry that can accommodate two thousand people.

However, such a large item cannot even fit in a second-tier storage bag. Cutting it into sections would be a waste of materials.

Chen Sanshi wasn't in a hurry. He planned to summon his men and have a few people carry the log out first.

This wait lasted for half an hour.

Deng Wuchang was extremely anxious. He had seen a spirit beast of considerable value fly by in the distance and wanted to chase after it.

"Brother Deng, feel free to go, just be careful."

Chen Sanshi handed over a sensing talisman. Wearing this talisman would allow one to sense the other party's summons and location, with an effect comparable to a precious communication talisman.

This talisman was bought from Old Man Mo Zhu.

"it is good."

Deng Wuchang tucked the talisman into his robes and said, "Don't worry, I'm a man of my word. I won't break my promise just because I'm getting rich. I'll still come back to help you."

Chen Sanshi watched the other person leave.

It wasn't that he truly trusted this person, but rather that some things are beyond coercion, especially in magical duels and killings. If you push too hard, it could backfire, so he had no choice but to let things take their course.

This is a good opportunity to see what kind of person the ghostwriter is.

Another half hour of waiting.

They finally waited for the small team led by Song Guizhi to arrive.

"See Your Majesty!"

“Take this dragon bone wood back with you.”

As Chen Sanshi gave the order, he raised his hand and chopped down the wood with his sword.

"As ordered!"

The captain of Tianyong City immediately did as instructed.

Dragon bone wood is indeed precious, but it's not too rare, and it can't be used to forge offensive magical artifacts, so having Song Guizhi as an escort is enough.

"Little Bamboo, your Ten Thousand Souls Banner..."

Chen Sanshi looked at the magical artifact in the eunuch's hand and suddenly realized that the forbidden area was full of remnant souls, and ancient remnant souls at that. It was simply the perfect place to refine the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

“This servant has already collected a hundred souls.”

Dongfang Jingxing said happily, "I have reached the limit of my current realm and was just about to ask His Majesty to leave the forbidden area early so that I can focus on refining my skills."

"Accurate."

Chen Sanshi agreed.

The young captains of Tianyong City were not highly skilled, and the trial was meant to prepare them for improving their cultivation, not to send them to their deaths.

He left a bottle of elixirs for the eunuch, and then went alone to the depths of the forbidden area to find one of the most important purposes of his trip—the Phoenix Stone Beast.

This spiritual plant prefers to grow on shady riverbanks, absorbing spiritual energy and feeding on spiritual beasts.

There are many murky streams within the second forbidden area, but from an aerial view, you'll find that there is only one river that can be called "large," so it's not difficult to find.

After locking onto the direction, Chen Sanshi flew at full speed at low altitude, arriving at the west bank of the "Nine Nether River" in the shortest possible time, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

because……

The resources along the banks of the Jiuyou River are too abundant, which means that a large number of cultivators will compete for them.

"Lingji Cave, Fallen Leaf Valley?"

Not far from where Chen Sanshi had landed, he saw disciples from two sects confronting each other, seemingly vying for a thousand-year-old spiritual plant.

He didn't get involved, quickened his pace to leave the area, and officially began searching for what he wanted along the riverbank.

Basically, every five miles you can see at least one corpse, some of them rogue cultivators and some of the disciples of sects, most of them died fighting for resources.

"It's a little late."

Chen Sanshi noticed many signs of digging on the ground, so he quickened his pace and focused his attention, using his signature skill, "Tracing and Concealing."
