Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 117 "Green Fishing Rod."_2

Seeking the elixir at Star Battle Sect, he coincidentally found them in dire straits and helped resolve the disturbances of the Earth Fire, gaining an invaluable heaven and earth treasure that he couldn't identify.

He also effortlessly obtained the second-grade Golden Core of the Master of Poison Sect.

By now, he had fully absorbed all three Replenishing God Pills, his damaged Divine Sense completely healed as if nothing had happened. Yet he mysteriously ended up with a Golden Core resentful spirit, a second-grade Golden Core, an Eight-petal Fire Lotus, and even the Storage Ring of the Master of Poison Sect.

"Pretty good."

Chen Qiu looked towards the interior of the small world, at his small warehouse now packed full, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

The spoils of his recent adventures were neatly categorized and organized within the small world's warehouse.

He decided to rest here for the night.

Then, once it was daylight, he would visit Liu Zide at the Yuncheng Wang Family. Despite some unexpected turns, the overall plan progressed smoothly.

...

That night, Chen Qiu didn't cultivate but instead slept soundly.

Early in the morning, he and Fat Long sat at a roadside stall in Yun City, ordering a bowl of cold noodles.

Yun City, near the Endless Desert, remained relatively hot and dry even during winter.

The talkative Shopkeeper of the cold noodle stall chatted up as he served their food, "The weather is getting stranger by the day. Just recently, the heat waves from the Endless Desert were relentlessly rolling into Yun City, but today, for some reason, it feels quite a bit cooler."

"Heh, pretty weird indeed."

Chen Qiu chuckled softly without responding, simply enjoying the local delicacy of Yun City with his spoon. The coolness was likely because he took that Eight-petal Fire Lotus, subduing the Earth Fire and thereby preventing the heat waves from emerging.

After breakfast.

A few casual inquiries led them straight to the Wang Family of Yun City, a not-so-small family that, especially in recent days, was said to be prospering, making them easy to find.

...

"Brother Qiu."

Liu Zide, clad in a short robe and carrying a birdcage strolling at the entrance, was pleasantly surprised to see Chen Qiu and others visit and immediately greeted them, "What brings you to Yun City?"

"Just here to see you."

Chen Qiu lifted his hand to smooth the creases on the shoulder of Liu Zide's short robe, smiling, "Seems like you're living pretty well, aren't you?"

"Ha."

Embarrassed, Liu Zide waved his hand, "Without a Golden Core in Yun City and no experts visiting often, the Family Head here is the strongest we've got. There's not much development, but it's comfortably laid-back."

"Certainly nowhere near Brother Qiu."

"Even in a small city like this, I hear tales of Brother Qiu's exploits, which are nothing short of sensational. It's a pity I don't have enough strength; otherwise, I would've loved to follow you and personally slay members of the Evil Clan. If there's a chance, I'd really like to do another job for Brother Qiu."

"Really?" Chen Qiu said with a smile.

"Of course, really."

Liu Zide declared sincerely, beating his chest, "Could there be any doubt? Absolutely true."

"Pretty good."

Chen Qiu patted Liu Zide's shoulder sentimentally, "There actually is something I need your help with. I need someone to go to Fatty State to purchase lots of Evil Wood and Eight Desolate Fruit; these items are common there, with the Eight Desolate Fruit being relatively rare but not too expensive."

"I haven't found a suitable candidate."

"After thinking it over, you seem to be the best choice."

"This..."

Liu Zide hesitated, glancing back at the Wang Family's gate, "I don't see any problem on my part, just not sure about what the Family Head would think..."

"No worries, your Family Head will go too."

At that moment, the Wang Family Patriarch came from the gate, initially confident, he declined on behalf of Liu Zide, showing the Self-Destruction Term and his Foundation Establishment fourth layer Cultivation.

Before he could say much more, he saw Chen Qiu also reveal a Self-Destruction Term along with the peak of the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivation.

He immediately, earnestly, and seriously expressed his commitment to completing the task.

The entire negotiation was exceptionally smooth.

And just like that...

Liu Zide and the Wang Family Patriarch were temporarily housed in Chen Qiu's small world, prepared to be settled in Fatty State upon the return trip, where he would leave them with a sum of Spirit Stones to procure a large quantity of Eight Desolate Fruit and Evil Wood for a long term.

Now, there were only two days left until the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard.

The battle for the rankings of the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard, set in the Capital, would start early in the day after tomorrow, attracting countless people to the Capital, including competitors and many more just to watch.

...

Chen Qiu and his companions didn't stay long in the forsaken and secluded Yun City—where development was scarce and the Yuncheng Wang Family was already the largest there.

With his peak Foundation Establishment Cultivation, he was the absolute apex within Yun City.

Even the City Lord had much lower Cultivation.

After sampling the local specialties of Yun City, he took Liu Zide and the Wang Family Patriarch and soared towards Fatty State. Passing by Kai Mountain City, they let the Shopkeeper go.

The prohibitions on the Storage Rings had all been broken.

The most significant haul was over fifteen thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, which were initially for Ning Taiping's campaign to influence perception—after passing from one hand to another, they all ended up with him.

The rest was a mix of various items, many materials for Artifact Cultivators, all tossed into another warehouse set aside for miscellaneous items.

However, just as he was about to leave Kai Mountain City,

he noticed many Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment Cultivators gathered around, which from his experience meant a Secret Realm was opening. After some inquiry, just as expected, there was an Imperial Decree from the Heavenly Dao that day stating a Secret Realm would open in Kai Mountain City in half an hour.
