Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest - Chapter 29 - Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Farewell

Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Farewell
“What?”

“You’re leaving here?”

“Is there danger?”

“What kind of danger?”

“Dizzy!”

The brocade fur rat and Bai suddenly appeared in front of Wang Chen for a reason.

After a difficult communication that was like chickens talking to ducks and humans talking to rats,

Wang Chen finally understood what the couple meant.

They felt this place was no longer safe.

They were preparing to move.

They were now saying their goodbyes to Wang Chen.

And Bai even suggested that Wang Chen should also leave.

Leave here?

Go where?

Wang Chen couldn’t help feeling bewildered.

He trusted Bai.

The problem was, where in this vast world could he find another place to call home, aside from this little one?

This place was the outermost area of the Cloud Sun spiritual land, and it was protected by the sect.

Not to mention, the Fixed Sun Bell in Cloud Mountain City rang twelve times a day, deterring evil wraiths without ever stopping.

The original owner, after being a spiritual plant farmer for five years, had only heard rumors about evil wraiths harming people from neighbors.

As for monster beasts, they were nowhere to be seen.

Cultivators who wanted to hunt monster beasts had to venture deep into the Heaven Cloud Mountain ranges to find them.

Within the mountain gates, Guard Hall disciples patrolled regularly.

So as long as one didn’t seek death by getting involved in dangerous stuff and just honestly farmed and tended the land, it was quite safe.

But once one left the mountain gates, the situation was completely different!

Wang Shaoyuan had told the original owner many times about how dangerous the Outer Domain was.

Every year, many disciples from the Cloud Sun Sect went missing during their journey to practice cultivation, hunt, search for treasures, or complete missions.

They disappeared without a trace, alive or dead!

Wang Chen couldn’t possibly abandon his ten-mu Spirit Fields that were about to mature to go out and become a loose cultivator, could he?

He was only at the fourth level of Qi cultivation.

He hadn’t even mastered the most basic body protection spell “Spirit Light Shield Armor,” and with only two spirit stones left in his storage bag, with few talismans and pills, how could he survive and protect himself in the perilous Outer Domain?

As for moving to the safer Cloud Mountain City or the Inner Sect, that was completely unrealistic.

Living in Cloud Mountain was not easy.

The worst bed in the city’s inns would cost a Low Spirit for one night’s stay.

Sleeping on the streets would get you caught and put into hard labor.

The city’s accommodations were astronomically expensive, totally beyond the current Wang Chen’s means.

And the Inner Sect…

Wang Chen didn’t even dare to think about it!

He couldn’t help but pat Bai’s head and sigh, “Bai, you’ve given me a tough problem!”

After experiencing one calamity,

Wang Chen just wanted to be a cultivator who kept a low profile, farmed quietly, and slowly improved his strength.

He hadn’t thought that even such a simple wish would be hard to fulfill.

“Squeak, squeak.”

Bai seemed to understand Wang Chen’s feelings and nudged his hand with its nose,

offering comfort.

Wang Chen clenched his fist and said, “I understand, thank you!”

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to play it by ear.

Wang Chen took Bai and its partner to the kitchen.

He took out about thirty pounds of monster beast meat from his storage bag, cut it into pieces, blanched and stewed it to make fragrant jerky.

After that, he packed the jerky along with fifty pounds of Spirit Valley into the small storage bag.

He tied it onto the brocade fur rat—the backpack was naturally the husband’s job.

“Bai, once you’ve moved to your new home, just bite the bag open,”

Wang Chen said to Bai, “The rice and meat inside should be enough for you to get through the winter.”

Once the storage bag was damaged, the items inside would all fall out.

Bai had once saved Wang Chen’s life.

He really didn’t have much to repay them with, so this was the best he could do.

“Squeak squeak!”

The large white rat stood up on its hind legs and gestured with its paws towards Wang Chen, its eyes sparkling.

It was clear that it was also reluctant to part with Wang Chen.

Wang Chen waved his hand, “Go on.”

The couple, Bai and his partner, left.

They burrowed into the mouse hole behind the woodpile and disappeared into the dark tunnel.

Wang Chen felt a sense of loss.

Although he hadn’t known them for long,

he had already come to think of Bai as part of his family.

But the ways of the world did not always align with one’s wishes.

It wasn’t until evening that Wang Chen completely shook off the melancholy brought about by the departure.

He had given it careful thought.

The danger Bai had warned of was not imminent, and in the absence of a better path, the best thing he could do was to strive to enhance his strength and accumulate the means to protect himself!

Perhaps it was because of a valorous and vigorous force pent up inside him,

that very night when Wang Chen went all out to meditate on the true forms within the “Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method,” he quickly grasped the profound mysteries of the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon!

The Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon is one of the Buddhist Sect’s protector Vajras, with an immensely powerful body, specialising in slaying demons and destroying evil wraiths with divine powers.

The first three layers of the “Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method” are respectively: Copper Skin, Jade Bone, and Golden Body.

Once mastered, it could not only bear the brunt of magic artifacts’ strikes with flesh and blood but also resist the possession and erosion of evil spirits!

Without a doubt, it was an exceedingly brilliant Body Refinement technique.

If there hadn’t been a catch to this technique, there was no way Wang Chen could have acquired it for a mere thirty Spirit Stones.

And grasping the mysteries of the Heavenly Dragon did not mean he had truly entered the gate.

There was no display on the Immortal Cultivation panel.

He took out the bottle of Vajra Ghee.

A person could cultivate three powers: Qi-Blood, Mana, and Soul Power.

Qi-Blood refers to the vim and vigor of one’s life force.

The function of the Vajra Ghee was to stimulate the Qi-Blood to the greatest extent, which in turn would strengthen the body and spirit.

Wang Chen took off all the clothes he was wearing.

He poured the golden ghee out of the bottle and smeared it evenly over his body.

He didn’t even spare his scalp.

Then he repeatedly patted his body, allowing the medicinal properties of the Vajra Ghee to more quickly merge into his skin and muscles.

As the medicine dispersed, Wang Chen suddenly felt as if he were placed inside a purgatory furnace.

Every inch of his skin, every muscle, was trembling involuntarily, his bones felt like they were crawling with ants, his blood flow sharply increased, and the temperature steadily climbed.

In just a moment, Wang Chen was like a cooked shrimp, his skin turning a bright red!

Numbness, itchiness, soreness, pain…

All sorts of sensations raged within him, greatly testing his willpower!

Wang Chen struggled to maintain his clear consciousness and, following the entry-level spell for the first layer of the “Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method,” he guided the Qi-Blood strength stimulated by the ghee to circulate throughout his body.

His muscles contracted and expanded, and large drops of sweat seeped out of his pores.

In the end, even drops of blood began to emerge!

He persisted and persisted.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when Wang Chen suddenly felt lighter; all the pain and strange sensations in his body vanished.

[Physique +1]

With this, the Cultivation Technique section of the Immortal Cultivation panel showed a new change.

[Cultivation Technique]:

Main: Five Elements Skill (Fourth Layer): 8/400

Secondary: Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method (First Layer): 0/100

The just-initiated “Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method” was not categorized as a skill.

Instead, it belonged to the category of Cultivation Techniques.

This meant that to elevate the “Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method” required the use of Heavenly Merit.

However, Wang Chen had no time to pay attention to the changes in the Immortal Cultivation panel at the moment.

He was closely feeling the enhancement and change that this technique had brought to him.

The first update is here.

PS: I went to participate in testing today and waited in a long queue.

Here, I wish all the readers friends, to be safe and healthy!
