Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 23: Safely Returning Home

After buying the Dragon Head Baton, he wandered around the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

He still had over 160,000 spirit stones on him. Not to mention the Qi Refining stage, it was almost enough for the Foundation Building stage.

Spirit stones were external objects, and there was no need to accumulate so many. It would be better to buy more Law Treasure talismans to improve his survival ability.

Walking to the third floor, he set his eyes on a protective jade, a Law Treasure in the shape of a green circular pendant.

When worn, it could withstand most of the full-force attacks from cultivators below the Core Formation Late Stage, and it could be used up to three times.

Moreover, its appearance was inconspicuous, and its aura was completely concealed.

Even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator would generally not be able to tell unless they carefully examined it with their divine sense. It was very discreet.

Of course, there was usually no danger within the sect, so there was no need to carry it with him. It would be better to keep it in the space of the Dragon Head Baton.

Otherwise, if some high-ranking inner sect member came to inspect his field and discovered the extraordinary nature of this item, he would have no way to explain it.

Today's incident of selling seeds might also be investigated.

Therefore, it was generally worn when going out or engaging in risky activities.

In the event of encountering a strong enemy by chance, he would have enough time to take out the jade from the space and use it.

And such a powerful life-saving Law Treasure naturally had a high price.

Law Treasures were used by cultivators from the Qi Refining stage to the Core Formation stage, while Spiritual Treasures were used by cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above. It was said that there were even Saint Weapons later on, but he didn't know much about them.

Whether it was a Law Treasure or a Spiritual Treasure, they were divided into Heaven, Earth, and Human ranks, with each rank further divided into upper, middle, and lower grades.

This protective jade could withstand the full-force attack of a Core Formation Late Stage cultivator.

But because it was a consumable item and could only be used three times, it was classified as a Heavenly Rank Low Grade Law Treasure, with a price of 20,000 Low Grade spirit stones.

After some bargaining, Chu Ming managed to bring the price down to 18,000 spirit stones.

Then he went to the first floor and bought twenty High Grade Concealment Talismans and twenty High Grade Teleportation Talismans for Qi Refining stage cultivators, costing 3,000 spirit stones.

They were all life-saving talismans, and it was always good to buy a few more.

In a crisis situation, he could even use the teleportation talisman to escape directly.

With his current wealth, he didn't need to save spirit stones at all.

As long as he could better ensure his survival, it was worth spending however many spirit stones.

After all, the most valuable thing on him right now was his life.

With this life, there were infinite possibilities.

He also bought a lot of pills such as the Five Essence Pill, Rejuvenation Pill, and Bone Strengthening Pill. For the low-end pills that Heavenly Treasure Pavilion didn't have, he found them in other shops.

In total, he spent 25,000 spirit stones, which should be enough for his use in the Qi Refining stage.

This way, he didn't have to go to the market frequently in the future and attract attention.

It was already late at this time, past noon.

He put on the protective jade and left Heavenly Origin City through the east gate.

He didn't plan to take the small road on the west side this time. He had just killed someone and needed to lay low.

He took the small road on the east side, although it was a bit longer.

Fortunately, the journey went smoothly. He didn't encounter any Rogue Cultivators, Demonic Beasts, or Evil Spirits along the way.

It was just when he was thirty miles away from Heavenly Origin City that his mask of impermanence fell off, revealing his true face.

When he returned to the peaceful market, it was already evening.

He had changed back into the coarse cloth outfit he wore when he left the sect, and he had also put away the protective jade.

Carrying an empty rice bag, he put the gold and silver on him into it.

He also bought a few new clothes and some fruits and vegetables in the market.

When he arrived at the Anding River Bridge, he casually walked across the bridge as if nothing had happened.

After crossing the bridge, he greeted the two monks again.

The two of them still ignored him, only casually scanning him with their divine senses before letting him pass.

After crossing the bridge, he finally let go of his anxious heart.

Once he arrived here, there shouldn't be any more trouble. He could peacefully return home to farm and cultivate.

Just then, several figures swiftly flew across the sky. Looking up, it was those several disciples riding on flying swords and cranes, returning to the sect.

Chu Ming felt a sense of guilt and only breathed a sigh of relief after they had all left.

Returning to the entrance of his home, everything was the same as when he left.

When Niu Ge saw him return, he immediately stuck his head out of the cowshed and said, "Moo--"

He opened the door and entered the courtyard, whispering to Niu Ge, "Has anyone come?"

"If someone comes, call out. If no one comes, jump once."

Niu Ge's massive body jumped, causing the ground to shake.

It seemed that no one had come, so there was no need to explain anything to anyone.

Chu Ming smiled with satisfaction and immediately began taking care of the farmland. He also fed the cow and gave it a Low Grade Bone-Enhancing Pill.

After finishing these tasks, he had a hearty dinner and then prepared to enter the Dragon Head Stick Space.

He took out the Dragon Head Stick from his body and placed it in the corner of the bed.

After recognizing its master, the Dragon Head Stick, apart from the two spirit stones on top, did not emit any aura, so there was generally no need to worry about higher-level cultivators sensing it with their divine senses.

Moreover, once inside, he could attach his hearing and divine senses to the Dragon Head Stick to perceive the outside world.

Although he currently didn't have divine senses, he could use his hearing to understand what was happening outside. If someone approached, he could immediately come out and put away the Dragon Head Stick.

Next time, he could train Niu Ge to make a sound to notify him if there was any situation outside. This would be even safer.

He sat at the head of the bed, touched the Dragon Head Stick, and with a thought, entered the space.

At this time, the time inside the space was still noon. It seemed that the rotation of the sun and moon inside was related to the time the spirit stones were inserted.

In other words, in the future, he could adjust the time inside as needed.

Entering the small bamboo house, he searched around but didn't find anything useful. There wasn't even a farming tool left behind.

He was too lazy to go outside to fetch the cow and farming tools, so he directly used the Golden Light Slash to cultivate the land.

Then he went back to the house to get the seeds and planted them, using rain and ripening techniques. The two acres of spiritual fields sprouted.

After searching for a while, he found three Mutation Spirit Rice plants.

[Discovered Mutation Spirit Rice Plant: Spicy Spirit Rice Plant]

[Discovered Mutation Spirit Rice Plant: Bitter Spirit Rice Plant]

[Discovered Mutation Spirit Rice Plant: Quick-growing Spirit Rice Plant]

The first two were ordinary, especially the second one, which normal people wouldn't eat.

But the third one was impressive. He carefully examined the introduction on the panel. The growth speed of this quick-growing Spirit Rice plant was 10% faster than regular Spirit Rice.

In other words, it could be planted every 27 days, eleven times a year. The yield of this quick-growing Spirit Rice was even higher than that of high-yield Spirit Rice.

Chu Ming couldn't help but laugh inwardly. If he sold it, it would be a significant amount of spirit stones.
