Chapter 78
: Breakthrough, Journey Begins (Please continue reading)
The next day, early in the morning.
Li Changsheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly shuddered.
Immediately, a suction force surged from his body, drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
It lasted for a good ten breaths.
The gathered spiritual energy of heaven and earth then quietly dissipated.
"call…"
Li Changsheng exhaled a breath of grayish-black gas, opened his eyes, and sensed the spiritual energy radiating outward from the four spiritual energy clusters in his dantian, continuously strengthening his physique and vitality.
The tingling, numbing sensation made him smile slightly, and he thought to himself with delight:
"This is what cultivation is all about..."
Take a moment to adjust.
His gaze was fixed on himself.
[Target: Li Changsheng]
Lifespan: 18/120

"His lifespan has increased by three years..."
When Li Changsheng saw the "Lifespan Limit" in the Lifespan section, his joy intensified. He examined it carefully several times before closing the information panel.
I came to my senses.
"Oh dear..."
Then, Ya Ya, who was sleeping soundly with her hair flying everywhere, came over, skillfully snuggled into his arms, tilted her head back, and grinned.
"You're awake..."
Li Changsheng smiled, gently pressed down the tuft of hair on her head, but couldn't get it down. After trying a couple more times, he simply gave up.
I changed Ya Ya into a light purple dress.
She carried Ya Ya, who was curiously looking at her while holding up her skirt, and left the house.
I quickly washed up.
I just grabbed a bite to eat.
Thinking about how I would be renting a car to go to the "Sacrifice Fields" today.
Li Changsheng made some mixed spirit rice balls and packed them up. He only took the low-grade magic weapon "Wind Scythe" and then went out with Ya Ya, Frog Pride, and Big Congming.
I just stepped out of the courtyard.
The gate to the neighboring courtyard then opened.
Fang Yuan, dressed in a brocade robe and with his hair neatly combed, walked over carrying a "talismanic" hoe and handed it to her.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Li."
"It's alright."
Li Changsheng waved his hand, took the "talismanic artifact" hoe, looked Fang Yuan up and down, and hesitated:
"Senior Brother Fang, are you going out?"
"Um."
Fang Yuan knew he couldn't hide his part-time job at "Wanchunlou" for long, so he suppressed his shame and simply nodded:
"Go to 'Wanchun Tower' for a part-time job to earn some spirit stones to supplement your cultivation."
"I'll stop here. There aren't many buses to Sanshanfang Market, so I have to get there early. I'll bring back some local specialties for you, Junior Brother Li, when I get back..."
After saying that, he quickly left.
"Brother Fang's Daoist heart is as firm as a rock..."
Looking at his retreating figure, Li Changsheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The day before yesterday, Fangyuan got out of bed, but her legs and back were not very agile.
He had just finished working in the fields and was rushing off to do a part-time job. If this doesn't count as having a firm Dao heart, then what does?
"Hopefully, Senior Brother Fang can snag a sugar daddy, so he'll have less to do..."
Li Changsheng shook his head inwardly.
He did not discriminate against Fang Yuan; everything he did was for the sake of spiritual practice.
Selling anything is selling.
He placed the "talismanic tool" hoe in the side room and headed down the mountain path.
Traveling along the way.
The Lingnong he encountered were all dressed in tight-fitting clothes, carrying bundles and swords, or hoes and sickles, looking like they were about to go out.
We haven't reached the foot of the mountain yet.
A chorus of buzzing discussions and shouts could be heard.
"The senior brothers, junior brothers, senior sisters and junior sisters are almost here to go to the 'Sacrificial Field'. Ten spirit fragments for each spot, lunch included. We only need two more spots, let's go soon..."
The "Smooth Sailing" car service is escorted by a late-stage Body Refinement cultivator and pulled by two low-grade spirit beasts, the "Black-skinned Oxen," ensuring a smooth and worry-free journey.
One position costs only one low-grade spirit stone.
"Wait only a quarter of an hour, or you'll be late."
"It's my own car, so I'm just making a meager living, five spirit fragments per person."
"..."
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Li Changsheng was immediately stunned by the lively scene at the foot of the mountain.
A fleet of oxcarts, donkey carts, and horse-drawn carriages were parked at the foot of the mountain.
A large group of Ginnons surrounded and scrutinized the group.
The car owner kept shouting, trying to attract customers.
Once the truck was full, the driver didn't waste any time and immediately drove away.
"Now we don't need to rent a car..."
Li Changsheng was delighted. His gaze swept across the area and was quickly drawn to an open-air flatbed cart that was nearly a hundred meters long.
The cart was pulled by two large, sleek, black oxen.
On the flatbed cart.
A bald man, who looked at least two meters tall, was lifting a millstone that looked at least a thousand pounds, raising and lowering it expressionlessly.
Those exaggeratedly high, arched muscles.
One word: terrifying!
Beside him.
A slightly overweight young man kept shouting to attract customers.
"Late stage of Body Refinement, one spirit stone..."
Li Changsheng glanced at the muscular man, then looked at the other vehicles. After a moment's hesitation, he decided to take the flatbed cart.
For no other reason than that.
It was simply because that bald guy was obviously a skilled fighter.
When you're out and about.
Safety should be the top priority.
It's only one or two spirit stones; he can afford it.
Thinking to himself, Li Changsheng strode over, and without saying a word, pointed to himself, Ya Ya, Frog Prodigy, and Great Conscience, and said:
"Together, how many spirit stones?... "
The obese young man glanced at it and said:
"Your spirit frog and spirit dog are truly magnificent."
He paused, then said tactfully:
"It does take up some space. So, if you let it follow behind the car, it'll cost one spirit stone. But if it rides with you..."
"Two low-grade spirit stones will suffice..."
Thank you.
Li Changsheng nodded and took out two low-grade spirit stones from his sleeve, handing them to the driver.
He then greeted them warmly.
The two people and two beasts found a seat in the middle and sat down.
The location was basic, and the seats weren't very comfortable.
But they couldn't resist the protection of a powerful man in the late stage of Body Refinement.
There were others like him, but not many.
One spirit stone isn't much.
But most barn workers are used to saving money wherever they can.
I received about twenty people.
Seeing that no one else was getting on the cart, the driver exchanged a few words with the burly man holding the millstone and slowly drove the oxcart away from Lingtian in District C.
The direction is opposite to that of the "animal pen".
After traveling for about half an hour.
A tall stone archway bearing the inscription "District C" appeared.
The oxcart entered a wide road, hundreds of feet wide.
As you can see, there are vehicles of all sizes, some carrying people and some carrying goods, coming and going.
There are also many people who travel alone.
They either walked or rode various mythical beasts.
A variety of sounds resounded.
It’s not lively.
This was Li Changsheng's first time traveling far from home since joining the sect. Filled with curiosity, he looked at Ya Ya from left to right and observed the pedestrians and vehicles on the road.
Especially those cultivators riding various strange and magical beasts.
He was truly envious.
"Let's wait a little longer. Maybe we'll be able to ride it once Frog Prodigy breaks through to the middle rank of the first level..."
Thinking of this.
He touched the cool head of the frog Tianjiao lying at his feet.
"You must strive to grow tall and strong!"
Sensing his thoughts, Frog Pride rubbed against his leg, conveying feelings of affection and joy.
The beast-drawn carriage traveled ten miles.
Turn into a gate with the character "丁" engraved on it.
We arrived at the foot of a hill.
Just like before.
The obese young car owner shouted loudly to attract customers.
The bald, muscular man in the late stage of body refinement held up the millstone expressionlessly.
Compared to Zone C.
The farmers in District D are significantly wealthier.
Only a quarter of an hour.
They managed to recruit over fifty Lingnongs onto the bus.
When the time comes.
The vehicle set off again.
Then they entered the two archways, B and A.
When we returned to the main road.
The flatbed cart was already full of people, and the buzzing and chattering continued.
Not long after leaving Lingtian in District A.
Li Changsheng felt his vision widen, and then he saw a scene that shocked him.
A thick fog blanketed the distance.
Colorful light shields were situated in all directions.
The smaller light shields are about the same height as the hills of "Five Grains Spirit Village," while the larger light shields are completely like giant mountains.
"That is..."
Li Changsheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly shuddered.
Immediately, a suction force surged from his body, drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
It lasted for a good ten breaths.
The gathered spiritual energy of heaven and earth then quietly dissipated.
