Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 609 - : 609 Chapter: Teach a man to fish

Chapter 609: 609 Chapter: Teach a man to fish

The Immortal Realm is no haven; where there are people, there is a Martial World!

Ever since settling down outside the Flying Catkins Valley, Wang Chen had been quietly farming, without making enemies with anyone.

Yet, even though he kept to himself, trouble still came knocking at his door.

Wang Chen was well aware that he had most likely been implicated.

Fortunately, he was no longer the naive youth he once was, and managed to keep his wits about him during the crisis, managing to get through it.

In the Storage Bag that Wang Chen had secretly handed to the skinny tall Cultivator were fifty Middle Spirits.

And he had prepared three such Storage Bags!

Wang Chen believed that without this bribery, even with proof of his registry, the other party would still find various excuses to make things difficult for him, and he wouldn’t be able to get through it without shedding some skin.

The reason was simple: the other party had gone to great lengths to come here, and if they returned empty-handed, they would lose face completely.

How could they leave matters at that!

It must be said that the truth about money moving the world applies throughout the myriad heavens, and the Haotian Immortal Realm is no exception.

That Li Chengdong probably also bled a little.

Alas, not as much as Wang Chen did.

At this moment, a figure flashed and arrived swiftly.

“Brother Wang!”

The person was none other than Zhang Mushan.

Seeing that Wang Chen was safe and sound, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: “You’re alright, that’s good.”

Zhang Mushan explained, “I was just told that Li Chengdong boarded the Patrol Flying Warship and was heading your way.”

He sensed that something was wrong, so he rushed over immediately.

Wang Chen said with a smile, “That’s right, they’ve just left.”

Wang Chen briefly recounted the recent events to Zhang Mushan and concluded, “Thanks to Big Brother Zhang helping me get the Apart Registry, otherwise, it would have been really troublesome.”

Without that Identity Plaque, he would have been a fugitive once again.

As for the bribery of the skinny tall Cultivator, Wang Chen didn’t mention it at all.

There was no need.

After hearing everything, Zhang Mushan’s face turned ashen, and he said in a deep voice, “That Li Chengdong was targeting me!”

Their relationship had always been rocky, with Li Chengdong frequently causing trouble in the past.

This time, he evidently intended to find a breach through Wang Chen.

It should be noted that Wang Chen’s ability to clear land and farm outside the Flying Catkins Valley was fundamentally made possible by the guarantee from Zhang Mushan.

If Wang Chen were to be taken away, then Zhang Mushan would also be out of luck!

He exhaled deeply, “I’ve implicated you, Brother Wang.”

Wang Chen shook his head, “It is I who have implicated Big Brother Zhang.”

“We are brothers; there’s no need for such formalities between us.”

Zhang Mushan gestured with his hand and said, “This time, I must give Li Chengdong a taste of his own medicine no matter what!”

If he remained passive after such an incident, he would surely be looked down upon and seen as weak and easily bullied.

Now that Li Chengdong’s scheme had backfired, if he did not take advantage of the situation to strike back, it would be foolish.

Moreover, the things Li Chengdong had done were utterly despicable.

Zhang Mushan was not the first member of the Flying Catkins Camp to vouch for outsiders, and in the surrounding area of the Flying Catkins Valley, there were many Cultivators like Wang Chen.

Who would want the Patrol Team to come checking on them?

Zhang Mushan could undoubtedly use this to nail Li Chengdong!

“I’m going back to the camp now.”

Zhang Mushan hesitated for a moment before saying, “Brother Wang, why don’t you come and stay with us in the valley?”

Now that Wang Chen had a legal identity and his guarantee, even if he didn’t join the Flying Catkins Camp, it still wouldn’t be a problem to live in the valley for a while.

“No need.”

Wang Chen graciously declined Zhang Mushan’s kindness, explaining, “I’ve grown accustomed to being alone, and I still need to tend to these spirit fields, so living in the valley would actually be inconvenient.”

Zhang Mushan’s home wasn’t large, and there was no need for Wang Chen to crowd it and disturb his family’s life.

“Alright then.”

Zhang Mushan didn’t insist, “If you need anything, just send a talisman message to me. As long as I’m not out, I’ll come immediately.”

“Thank you, Brother Zhang.”

Wang Chen said, “Actually, I do have something that I need your help with.”

He gestured to the spirit fields in front of him and said, “These spiritual rice plants need a fair amount of meat as fertilizer. I want to go out and hunt a few monster beasts to bring back, but I don’t know where the best hunting spots are.”

Zhang Mushan couldn’t help but smile wryly, “I told you long ago that Green Jingmi is easy to plant but hard to yield a high harvest, and it requires a substantial investment.”

After a pause, he added, “I still have some beast meat here; you can take it to use for now.”

How could Wang Chen be willing to accept, “Brother Zhang, it’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. I want to hunt on my own.”

“Fine.”

Unable to dissuade Wang Chen, Zhang Mushan reluctantly took out a scroll from his storage bag, “This map details the primary hunting spots within the domain of Yongle Immortal City, including the areas around Flying Catkins Valley. You can use it to track down monsters.”

“But be extremely cautious!”

The Haotian Realm is not an immortal realm dominated by human beings; the Monster Race wield tremendous power. Even within the Nine States of the human territory, countless members of the Monster Race roam freely.

It’s entirely normal and right for cultivators to hunt monster beasts and for the Monster Race to hunt human cultivators.

In fact, for a cultivator like Wang Chen, joining a hunting team from Flying Catkins Camp would be the safest option.

However, he currently lacked the qualifications to join the camp.

Although there are other hunting teams besides those from Flying Catkins Camp, human hearts are unpredictable, and it might be safer to be cautious and go alone.

Moreover, there are rivals and enemies in Yongle Immortal City, and it’s quite common for cultivators who go out hunting to be ambushed by cultivators from hostile immortal cities. In short, it’s best not to stray too far from Flying Catkins Valley to avoid accidents.

Zhang Mushan earnestly advised Wang Chen before leaving.

Having obtained the hunting ground map, Wang Chen did not rush out to hunt.

As usual, he guarded his dozens of mu of spirit fields, going out early and returning late, quietly accumulating strength.

In terms of cultivation environment, the Haotian Realm was leagues ahead of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Not only was the upper limit for cultivation extremely high in this world, but the spiritual energy was also abundant, making the cultivation of techniques much more effective.

Wang Chen’s Innate Five Elements Skill had broken through to the sixth tier of Purple Mansion, and his cultivation speed had slowed down significantly, but after arriving here, it felt as if he had returned to the pace of the first and second tiers.

At this rate, it wouldn’t take too long for him to advance to the higher tiers of Purple Mansion!

While tending to his fields and cultivating, Wang Chen also made several trips to Flying Catkins Valley.

To purchase cultivation resources.

Flying Catkins Valley, as a gathering place for loose cultivators, also had its shops and inns.

But the prices were exorbitant; even Zhang Mushan had told him not to go in unless absolutely necessary to avoid being fleeced.

Fortunately, there was also a market in Flying Catkins Valley, which would open periodically, allowing cultivators to trade with each other.

Mainly bartering goods.

Of course, no one would refuse spirit stones.

Talismans, pills, and various daily magical artifacts became necessities, and the spirit stones in Wang Chen’s Sumeru Ring kept dwindling.

Most of the spirit stones he had initially reserved were used for the creation of his lifebound magic treasure.

Then, he had spent quite a bit more upon arriving in the Haotian Realm.

Now he was starting to feel the pinch and was finding it hard to carry on!

So when the rice in the spirit fields began to ear, he decisively set out on a path to cut costs and increase revenue through hunting.
