I can't keep a low profile when cultivating immortality; the sixth one is actually myself.

Although it is unknown what use these animal hide scrolls will ultimately have.

However, this incident allowed Toyokawa and Aya to truly experience the joy of treasure hunting.

The two of them were very busy with this and enjoyed it immensely.

Xiao Cai, in particular, seems to be getting a little addicted to it now.

"Hey bro, take a look! Where should we look next?"

"Haha, okay. I'll take a look!" Toyokawa replied.

Immediately, he consulted the Tai Chi Bagua diagram and performed the calculations again.

A moment later, Toyokawa's expression turned somewhat surprised.

"Huh? There were two red lines before, extending very far and very close to each other."

But now they have overlapped and gathered in one place!

Are there other people besides us collecting animal hides?

Toyokawa muttered to himself.

"Oh? What should we do? It can't be such a coincidence, can it? Should we continue searching?"

If we rush in rashly and encounter a master, wouldn't we be throwing good money after bad, never to return?

Xiao Cai asked with some concern.

But as soon as he said it, Toyokawa flicked him on the head.

"What are you talking about! When did we become meat buns?"

"There shouldn't be any problem. After all, we're in the mortal realm. What powerful experts would be interested in mortal objects?" Toyokawa guessed.

"Oh! So we can keep looking? Hehe, then let's set off now, little brother!" Xiao Cai said impatiently.

"Uh~, okay!" After saying that, Fengchuan mounted his flying sword and soared into the sky.

As always, Xiao Cai acted as a support, hugging the older brother from behind and refusing to let go.

At first, Toyokawa would shake his head helplessly. But over time, he's gotten used to it!

Besides, he didn't think Xiao Cai had any bad intentions. What bad intentions could a fish have?

Following the red line, we flew over mountains and crossed rivers.

It wasn't until three days later that they arrived at a bustling mortal city.

After entering the city and making inquiries, the two learned that it was a mortal kingdom called the Dali Dynasty.

The giant city beneath their feet was the capital city of the Dali Dynasty.

No wonder the city was called "Lihuang City" when I entered.

As expected of the imperial city, it's truly different. The streets are bustling with traffic and people.

It was more prosperous and magnificent than any city Toyokawa had ever seen before.

Not only are the architectural styles diverse, but the design aesthetics are also very solemn and dignified.

The two walked down the street, where there were so many people that they were shoulder to shoulder, one after another.

The prosperity is evident from this.

Following the guidance of the red silk thread, Toyokawa led Aya to a square.

The area was crowded with people, all looking at a notice on the notice board.

It is said that next month, the current princess will personally host a city-wide poetry gathering here.

And we extend a wide invitation to talented people from all over the world to attend the conference.

Moreover, the top ten in the poetry competition all received rewards.

The reward for the tenth place winner is two mysterious scrolls.

It is said that one of the scrolls was originally obtained by the eldest princess during her travels.

Later, when the eldest princess entered the royal treasury to select items bestowed by the emperor, she discovered the same scroll in the treasury.

Therefore, the eldest princess specially combined the two into one as a reward for this poetry gathering.

This made Toyokawa extremely happy.

It's true that you can't find anything even if you wear iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

When it comes to writing poetry, Toyokawa has never been afraid of anyone!

Even if he himself can't write it, it doesn't matter!

Doesn't he also have the many essential skills he learned in another world in his previous life as a foundation?

Who will determine the fate of the Dali Poetry Gathering?

Suddenly, an overwhelming aura burst forth from Toyokawa.

The people around were taken aback and turned to look at them in surprise!

Toyokawa suddenly realized that the atmosphere had been built up to this point, and he had to put on an act!

So he put his right hand into his pocket, and when he took it out again, a folding fan was in his hand.

With a gentle flick, the folding fan opened with a whoosh.

On the fan surface, four large characters were written, the characters vigorous and powerful.

It is said to be "unparalleled in the world"!

Toyokawa gently waved his folding fan, walking with an elegant and graceful demeanor.

I walked to the registration area, picked up my pen, dipped it in ink, and began to write.

With flowing strokes, he wrote down a pseudonym: "Li Taibai".

Then, he took Xiao Cai and strode away from the square.

I give this performance a perfect score.

As for whether others were fooled by him, I don't know!

But Xiao Cai was completely fooled by him.

At this moment, Xiao Cai followed behind Feng Chuan, her bright eyes seemingly carrying light.

Looking at the young man in front of her, she was filled with admiration from head to toe.

Haha, Toyokawa really didn't expect that.

He casually put on an act, but instead of winning over others, he managed to win over his own little follower.

孽 孽!

What he didn't know was that he had tricked not only Xiao Cai.

On a pavilion next to the square.

Two elegant and beautiful women also witnessed what had just happened.

That refined and otherworldly temperament, that indomitable spirit.

It immediately caught the attention of the two women.

These two people are the eldest and third princesses of Dali.

The two had originally come to check on the participation in the poetry gathering.

As soon as they reached the attic, they saw what was happening outside the window.

Even though they were used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women, they were still deeply attracted by Toyokawa's demeanor and temperament.

It wasn't until quite some time after Toyokawa had walked away that the two came to their senses.

"Eldest sister, do you recognize that talented scholar from earlier? I've never seen him before," the Third Princess asked.

"Third sister, you've asked the wrong person. This is the first time I've ever met him! I've never seen him before either. Perhaps he's a talented scholar from out of town who has come to see him!" the eldest princess replied.

"Hehe, it seems that the poetry gathering that Eldest Princess is hosting this time is quite interesting! It has attracted such talented scholars to participate. I, your little sister, will definitely have to come and join in the fun!" the Third Princess said with a smile.

"Hehe, you brat, you wouldn't happen to have taken a fancy to him, would you? Didn't you see the little beauty following behind him? Look at her, she's far better than you or me!" the princess teased.

"Hehe, Eldest Princess, you're just making fun of people!" The Third Princess blushed after being teased by the Eldest Princess, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"Hehe, alright! Since this person has already signed up for the poetry competition, let's see if he really has any talent then!" the princess said.

"Hehe, I think this person must have real talent and learning!" the Third Princess said.

"Oh ho, you've only just taken a look, and you're already so biased towards them?" the princess asked jokingly.

"Hmph, eldest princess, all you do is bully your little sister!" the third princess said, both embarrassed and angry.

"Hehe, alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore!" the princess said.

On the other side, Toyokawa took Aya to an inn and asked for two superior rooms.

There's still almost a month until the poetry gathering, so there's no need to rush.

There wasn't much to do anyway, so I just took a short break to wander around, and the time passed quickly.

However, one cannot give up spiritual practice.

More than half a year has passed since he returned to the mortal realm. Although many things have delayed him, his cultivation level has not fallen too much behind.

We have now reached the mid-to-late stage of the seventh level of Foundation Building.

In another two or three months, I should be able to break through to the eighth level.

This is actually quite fast for other Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

After all, for most Foundation Establishment cultivators, advancing to the next realm usually takes years.

It can take anywhere from three to five years to more than ten years.

If you can't break through the first level in over thirty years, then you've basically hit this limit. There's not much room for further improvement.

Toyokawa, however, has none of these restrictions.

Before returning, it only took him a few months to break through from the initial Foundation Establishment stage to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Upon returning to the mortal realm, he achieved true enlightenment in a very short time.

Thus, Foundation Establishment could no longer pose any obstacle to him.

Once your cultivation reaches a certain level, breaking through will be a natural and inevitable process.

Although he is currently in the mortal realm and lacks spiritual energy, he still possesses a considerable amount of resources.

It's more than enough to support his and Xiao Cai's cultivation.

So he doesn't need to be in too much of a hurry.

Before returning to the world of cultivation, reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment is only a matter of time!
