Add a point!
1,000 points of Heavenly rit vanished in an instant, and the Comprehension attribute on the Immortal Cultivation panel silently increased by 1 point.
[Comprehension: 7]
It wasn't easy!
Wang Chen, sitting cross-legged in the temporary Cave Mansion, let out a long sigh.
He didn't like fighting and killing, and spent most of his ti diligently practicing. Unfortunately, Heavenly rit could only be obtained through slaying cultivators, so its accumulation was extrely slow.
If he hadn't successfully hooked a few small fish this ti, it would have been really difficult to amass a thousand Heavenly rit.
Although Heavenly rit was precious, Wang Chen had never thought about enhancing his own aptitude with the blood of the innocent. The cultivators he had killed all essentially had it coming.
My heart and actions are as clear as a bright mirror; all that I do is just!
With 7 points of Comprehension, Wang Chen's Dao heart beca even sharper and more penetrating. Insights flashed in his Sea of Consciousness. So of the problems and obstacles he had encountered in cultivation before now seed clear and bright upon reflection.
His mind beca clearer than ever before, and his thoughts were incredibly agile.
He had unexpectedly entered a state of serendipitous enlightennt!
Wang Chen imdiately guarded his mind and ditated in silence, practicing and pondering the Innate Five Elents Skill.
He knew very well that such a state was serendipitous and not to be sought after.
Not even a single breath should be wasted.
anwhile, as Wang Chen was in hiding and practicing, a giant warship cleaved through the sky from the south, its sails flapping loudly in the wind. Then under the gaze of nurous cultivators, it docked in a clearing not far from the tent encampnt.
The "Giant Whale"!
Cultivators from the original Flying Immortal City were all too familiar with this warship.
Everyone hurried over.
They saw hatches open one after another, and countless cultivators sward out.
Flying Immortal City, now more appropriately White Tiger City, was welcoming a new group of visitors.
So of them were simply using this city at the foot of Jade Dragon Mountain as a stepping stone, while others intended to settle down here.
However, the Flying Immortal City was no more. The all-new White Tiger City opened its arms to everyone.
What happened next was sowhat astonishing.
The following morning, a branch of the Four Seas Comrce Association opened on the main street of White Tiger City.
It was the first business in White Tiger City to open, showing the support of the Four Seas Comrce Association for the White Tiger Sect!
Keep in mind that the "Giant Whale" often traveled to the forr Flying Immortal City, but the Four Seas Comrce Association, as the ship's owner, had never established a branch for business there.
Now, with the Four Seas Comrce Association's change in strategy, the implication was very thought-provoking.
Many cultivators had planned to take the "Giant Whale" to settle in another Immortal City, but now they were all hesitating.
People belittle that which is far from ho, and cultivators are no exception.
Many had grown accustod to life here, and could make a decent living by relying on the endless Jade Dragon Mountain Range. To suddenly move to a different place and start over, they had no idea what kind of difficulties and troubles they would encounter.
And were other Immortal Cities really better than White Tiger City now?
With an uncertain future ahead, so cultivators started to have second thoughts about leaving and wanted to stay.
The problem was, they had already sold their New Pacts and lost the qualification to exchange for a new residence in the city. anwhile, the cultivators who ca on the "Giant Whale" and understood the situation started to empty their Storage Bags to purchase New Pacts.
They did this to secure a new ho in White Tiger City.
Now it was a bit chaotic. Those who were planning to leave suddenly didn't want to go, and the newcors wanted to stay. As a result, the New Pacts naturally beca a much-coveted item, and prices soared.
By the ti the White Tiger Sect announced the day of the drawing, Wang Chen had ended his secluded cultivation and returned to the tent encampnt, only to find many unfamiliar cultivators in the camp, waving their Storage Bags and shouting loudly, "Buying New Pacts, selling MMM!"
Well, "MMM" was just Wang Chen's hallucination, but in reality, the frenzy for New Pacts had reached its peak.
So hot that it was burning!
Wang Chen watched with a cold eye, feeling as if he had returned to a previous life.
The rise in the price of New Pacts was within his expectations, or else he wouldn't have spent all his savings to purchase a large amount.
But under such circumstances, it's absolutely impossible to say that no one is behind the scenes, pushing things along.
The question arises, who is the one pulling the strings?
The developer!
First repel the beast tide, then ride on the reputation of this deed to take charge in Flying Immortal City, and next, as a Golden Core, re-establish the city. By joining forces with the Four Seas Comrce Association, they created a flourishing situation, driving the prices of the New Pacts to a peak.
This series of maneuvers compels one to admire!
And the White Tiger Sect plays an open ga, with Wang Chen as a beneficiary, of course, he wouldn't burst their bubble.
He took advantage of the soaring prices and sold most of his New Pacts.
In a stroke, he recouped nearly a hundred thousand Spirit Stones!
Truth be told, Wang Chen couldn't quite believe it himself – in just a few days' ti, he had made a net profit double his original investnt.
It was even more profitable than robbery and looting!
Besides the Spirit Stones he made, Wang Chen still held three New Pacts in his possession.
Among them was a Shop Deed.
"Taoist Friend Wang?"
While trading with others, Wang Chen encountered a neighbor who used to live next to him.
The latter's eyes widened, and he stuttered, "You, you're still alive!"
This cultivator had personally witnessed, two days before, that after Wang Chen left, the tall, thin cultivator and his group also followed out of the camp.
From this, he deduced that Wang Chen must have t with misfortune.
Yet now, here stood Wang Chen, well and alive, which gave him the sensation of having seen an Evil Wraith!
"Of course I'm alive."
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Taoist Friend Zhang, why would you ask such a thing?"
"I, I was just asking casually."
Zhang, the cultivator, swallowed hard and couldn't help asking, "Then, did First Mister of Jia Family not trouble you again?"
First Mister of Jia Family was the tall, thin cultivator who had once wanted to forcibly buy Wang Chen's New Pact.
"He did."
Wang Chen replied calmly, "They ca looking for again, but under my persuasion, they recognized their mistakes, and too ashad to return, they all went back to their hotown."
"I sent them off."
Zhang, the cultivator: "..."
Wang Chen patted the petrified Zhang on the shoulder, "First Mister of Jia Family is quite nice. Before leaving, he even gave his Storage Bag and Magic Artifact; such good people are really rare."
Zhang, the cultivator, flashed a smile uglier than crying, "Yes, indeed."
First Mister of Jia Family, a good person?
The pigs at the farm would laugh!
Although it sounded unbelievable, Wang Chen had clearly told him that the entire group led by First Mister of Jia Family had been dealt with.
The image of Wang Chen in Zhang's mind beca infinitely noble!
Awe arose spontaneously.
Wang Chen didn't continue to tease this neighbor, because the ti for the White Tiger Sect to draw the lots for the New Pact was approaching.
The drawing was to occur near the encampnt of tents, beside the Giant Whale.
The White Tiger Sect arranged the Dragon Gate Formation, and two Flying Warships hung in the sky, with dozens of Purple Mansion cultivators seated to supervise.
Thus, the whole process was orderly, with no one daring to create trouble at this juncture.
And Wang Chen was in luck today, drawing early picks for all three of his New Pacts, allowing him choice selections of houses and shops that were not leftovers from others.
