Infiltrating the world of cultivation

"He's broken through! Perhaps he's even surpassed the Innate Realm—this is an unprecedented feat! We martial artists should take this as an inspiration!"

Some people were horrified to see Zuo Qiuzhen standing in mid-air, for even a top-tier innate expert could not stand in mid-air.

Legend has it that Li Wenshu, the national advisor of the Wei Kingdom, was a supreme master of innate martial arts, capable of walking on water without leaving a ripple.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Qiuzhen has surpassed his master, breaking through the innate barrier.

Zuo Qiuzhen slowly opened his eyes, a flash of understanding appearing in them.

Only he himself knew that he had not yet broken through to the innate level. Breaking through to the innate level was extremely difficult. Without great opportunities and great enlightenment, it was simply impossible to succeed.

Standing in mid-air just now was merely a manifestation of sudden enlightenment.

Five years ago, my late teacher Li Wenshu had already reached this level. I wonder how he is now?

When Wang Chao saw the changes in Zuo Qiuzhen, admiration flickered in his eyes. Zuo Qiuzhen, like Li Wenshu, was a martial artist who was unwilling to accept his fate.

The dynasty didn't know if what they were doing was worthwhile, but some people and some things, even knowing there was no light ahead and it was a dead end, would still overcome hardships and forge ahead.

My heart is set on martial arts, and I will rise to great heights with ease. How much ambition and passion does that require?

“Young friend Wang Chao, I have already mastered the immortal arts and know magic. If you join us, you will have the opportunity to comprehend the immortal arts and seek the path to immortality.”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Han Dianli extended an olive branch to the dynasty, after all, it was an indisputable fact that he knew immortal magic.

Apart from him, no one in this No. 3 mining area has much say in cultivation.

This is also why he is so fearless. No matter how powerful you are, Zuo Qiuzhen, you don't know how to cultivate immortality, so you still can't win people over.

When Zhang Quan joined Han Dianli without hesitation, it further fueled Han Dianli's arrogance. Now, Han Dianli is qualified to participate in the market's auction transactions.

Therefore, in the near future, Hanlidian will inevitably experience rapid growth, at which time the landscape of Mine No. 3 will undergo tremendous changes.

"The path of cultivation is about fate. I have a connection with Master Zuoqiu, so I should join his camp."

It's impossible for Wang Chao to join the ranks of the Han Ceremony. He has too many secrets. Putting aside the nine-story ancient pagoda, the equipment in the storage chip alone is enough to attract the covetous eyes of villains.

Moreover, Zuo Qiuzhen is a disciple of the White-Robed National Preceptor Li Wenshu, and I have had a past relationship with Li Wenshu, so it's natural that I can make contact with him.

Today, they are bound to offend someone, and the dynasty has already made a plan in mind.

“Young friend Wang Chao, although I do not understand immortal techniques, mortal martial arts also have their own exquisite aspects. Only by comparing and contrasting them can one achieve the ultimate goal.”

Zuoqiu Zhen was delighted to hear that the dynasty intended to join him. If the dynasty were to join the Hanlidian, it would be a significant blow to him.

"Hmph! Truly a piece of trash with five elemental roots, refusing to follow me yet still daring to dream of cultivating immortality? What a fool's dream!"

Seeing that Wang Chao was determined to join Zuo Qiuzhen's team, Han Dianli made a sarcastic remark.

In his view, if one wants to cultivate immortality, one must follow him. He already regards himself as a senior and believes that only he has the right to speak, and everyone else should be subordinate to him.

The dynasty ignored Han Lidian's mockery, and the farce ended in discord.

The end of each month is the time to hand over spirit stones.

The dynasty took out the ninety-three spirit stones that had been prepared in advance. In principle, each person only needed to pay ninety spirit stones, but the dynasty's residence also required an additional three spirit stones.

Considering that it was a celestial abode protected by the Vajra Array, Wang Chao did not pursue the matter further.

Just as the dynasty was about to hand over the spirit stones, a figure suddenly darted out from behind and slammed a cloth bag onto the table.

"This was a gift from the General. He said it was a small token of our friendship."

The miner was neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke with a strong and clear voice. Clearly, he had once been a soldier. As for the identity of the general he mentioned, it was obvious that he was Zuo Qiuzhen!

Wang Chao did not refuse, and Zuo Qiuzhen did not seem like a person who was being insincere or polite; these many spirit stones might not be of much use to him.

Right now, I'm short of spirit stones, so I might as well accept this kind offer.

"Then I thank you for your kindness, General. I will definitely pay you a visit tomorrow."

After accepting the gift, Wang Chao subconsciously looked for Zuo Qiuzhen, but Zuo Qiuzhen was no longer there.

These mining tycoons are all big shots, usually elusive and rarely seen. Today, however, they have gathered together for the first time ever, all in an effort to compete for their own five elemental spiritual roots.

It seems he still has some value, Wang Chao said with a rare self-deprecating laugh.

The dynasty did not go to the mine to mine. With these ninety-odd spirit stones, there was no need to go out and work for a while.

Once you reach the second stage of Qi Refining, you can cast basic spells. Wang Chao has only just begun to draw Qi into his body. Who knows when he will reach the second stage of Qi Refining?

After returning to his residence, Wang Chao began to cultivate using spirit stones. Strands of cool energy were drawn from the spirit stones and transmitted into Wang Chao's body.

It's not that the dynasty relies on spirit stones; the dynasty has tried to absorb spiritual energy without them, but the efficiency of that absorption can only be described as snail-paced.

These five elemental roots truly live up to their reputation as useless; the amount of resources they consume can only be described as massive.

Just the process of drawing Qi into the body consumed six Spirit-Nourishing Pills, let alone reaching the second stage of Qi Refining. Even advancing to the first stage of Qi Refining would probably take several years.

However, the dynasty did not lose heart. If it were in the past, the dynasty might have given up. After all, it would be better to find another way out than to spend energy on such illusory things.

But now, the dynasty must persevere to the end, at least it still has five elemental roots and the qualification to cultivate.

Those like Li Wenshu and Zuo Qiuzhen, who couldn't even cross the threshold of cultivation, were still forging ahead on this path. Although my own aptitude was somewhat lacking, at least I still had hope, didn't I?

There's always a way out; things will work themselves out. No matter how big the difficulties, they are meant to be overcome. Without the spirit of forging ahead and building bridges, how can we talk about survival or completing tasks?

Whether it was Li Wenshu or Zuo Qiuzhen, they dared to fight to the death with cultivators with their mortal bodies. How much courage did that take?

"My heart is set on the path of martial arts, and I will rise to the top with ease." This is a cry from the depths of a martial artist's heart, a cry against their inability to accept their fate.

Wang Chao was moved by this spirit. He was by no means a person with weak willpower or wavering mind, but these ordinary martial artists overturned his concept.

Even the humblest existence has dreams, and those who pursue them, even if they seem unrealistic, are still worthy of respect.
