Chapter 118: Cultivation Upgrade, Five Elements Condensation Art! Big Harvest!

East Street.

Along both sides of the street are rows of towering spirit camphor trees, each tree about five meters tall with large crowns.

Number 36 spirit camphor tree, located at the east end of the street, has a trunk roughly as thick as one that can be embraced, with many branches and dense leaves.

Nine o'clock at night.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street.

A woman in a pink fairy dress, graceful and slender, stopped intermittently and arrived about a foot away from tree number 36, looking around.

"Number 36 spirit camphor tree."

Jiang Qing looked around, then waved a storage bag up to a branch, hung it there, and after waiting a while, she slipped into the shadows, wanting to see who was threatening her.

A quarter of an hour later, hidden in the shadows.

A man about thirty, dressed in black, in the fifth layer of Qi Condensation, quickly approached spirit camphor tree number 36, found the storage bag Jiang Qing had placed on the treetop, then drew a line of characters on the ground with his fingers like a sword.

After doing all this, he turned and disappeared into the night.

"Qi Condensation Fifth Layer?"

Jiang Qing, hidden thirty meters away, watched the black-clothed cultivator draw characters and then left. She immediately rushed forward and saw a line of characters on the ground.

[If you regret and come after me, your secrets won't be guaranteed.]

"So low a cultivation... Asking me for 3000 spirit stones."

Jiang Qing felt resentful but sighed helplessly. "Sigh, just spend the spirit stones to buy a lesson! I hope this person keeps his word."

This person had her secrets, which was always a big hidden danger.

She had considered leaving an invisible, odorless tracking aura on the storage bag. Then, she could track the person who extorted her and solve him completely.

But she didn't dare to gamble. If she failed, her affair with her nephew would be exposed, bringing disgrace to the Jiang family, and her father would probably kill her.

Jiang Qing wiped away the characters on the ground and left.

Qin Wang watched Jiang Qing leave from a distance, his consciousness controlling the puppet, heading towards the residence.

He went to a different place than his own number 168 residence. Since he had killed Shi Tianqing last time, and the Demon Slayer Alliance leader Tang Jianzhong had gone to the Sabre Blade Immortal Sect, the Demon Slayer Alliance had completely disintegrated.

Qin Wang entered the residence where the puppet lived, opened the storage bag with his consciousness, and found spirit stones, dozens of pills, beast materials, and various other miscellaneous items.

"Huh? Where is the fragmentary map?"

Qin Wang searched through Jiang Qing's storage bag but didn't find the fragmentary map related to Taiyi Heavy Water. He furrowed his brows and wondered, did Shi Tuo Chengjian take it out?

"Ask Jiang Qing when I get a chance!"

Qin Wang thought deeply. That fragmentary map was crucial for Taiyi Heavy Water; he had to get it.

He put the storage bag back on the puppet and let Xiao Bai monitor it. He then returned to his 168 residence, continuing to cultivate the Star Fallen Sword Canon.

The next day.

Qin Wang still went to wander around the vicinity of the Si Tuo family and Lingdan Pavilion, hoping to get information on Si Tuo Yunfei early in the morning.

"Friend Zhang, the Wanling Paradise will open in half a year. Many friends have already gone to the Daya Immortal Kingdom border. Are you going?"

"Of course. I heard there are treasures everywhere in the Wanling Paradise, and there are even opportunities for foundation building. Unfortunately, you need an array token to enter. But we can also broaden our horizons outside Wanling Paradise!"

"."

As Qin Wang passed by a small talisman shop called 'Golden Talisman Workshop,' he overheard three Qi Condensation eighth layer cultivators talking.

"Wanling Paradise."

"Only half a year left. I must solve the Si Tuo family issue quickly and head to the border of the Daya Immortal Kingdom."

Listening to the conversation of the three Qi Condensation eighth layer cultivators, Qin Wang thought.

The intelligence showed.

There were things in Wanling Paradise that would greatly help him in foundation establishment!

Moreover, from Shi Tianqing's storage bag, he got the array token for Wanling Paradise. He was already at the tenth layer of Qi Condensation. By the time he reached the border of the Daya Immortal Kingdom, his cultivation would be ready to attempt foundation building.

Time flew by, three days later.

Qin Wang had been cultivating the Star Fallen Sword Canon in his 168th residence, finally reaching the entrance on the third day, displayed on the panel.

Late at night.

A fist-sized white mouse jumped out of the window, appearing outside Qin Wang's window.

"Xiao Bai, come eat spirit fruit!"

Qin Wang saw the hidden spirit mouse, immediately took out some spirit fruit from his storage bag, and placed them in a plate for Xiao Bai. The white mouse immediately climbed onto the plate, clutching a spirit fruit with its two front paws and began munching.

Qin Wang communicated with Xiao Bai through consciousness, saw the scenes Xiao Bai had seen, and found no one monitoring the puppet outside its residence.

"Looks like Jiang Qing didn't send anyone to monitor the puppet."

Qin Wang thought. He estimated that Jiang Qing really wanted to pay off the extortion and not let the scandal come out.

He put the storage bag on the puppet just in case Jiang Qing had set up tracking things. He had already been tracked by Su Tianhai, Lin Tong, and the scent worm, so he preferred to wait.

Being cautious was better.

"Huh?"

"The arrow on the Five Elements Gathering Essence Skill turned from red to green?"

After feeding Xiao Bai spirit fruit, Qin Wang looked at the Five Elements Gathering Essence Skill on the panel, and his eyes suddenly brightened. The arrow color change indicated that it could be upgraded!

He immediately confirmed the upgrade option.

Buzz!

As Qin Wang clicked, he felt a tremor from the panel. The Five Elements Gathering Essence Skill column flashed, and when he looked again, it had vanished, replaced by — Five Elements Condensation Art!

At the same time, a torrent of information and cultivation diagrams appeared in his consciousness.

It was the method of cultivating the Five Elements Condensation Art!

[Five Elements Condensation Art: (Entry Level) (1/1000) Refine the Five Elements spiritual energy from heaven and earth into mana, condensing it into liquid. Diligence supplements the deficiency!]

"Didn't expect it to upgrade!"

"Seems like, after reaching completion, I need to keep cultivating proficiency to break through and become a new art!"

Qin Wang looked at the upgraded Five Elements Condensation Art on the panel, his heart full of anticipation.

The Five Elements Gathering Essence Skill in the Qi Condensation scroll upgraded to the Foundation Establishment scroll's Five Elements Condensation Art. What powerful technique would it become when the Five Elements Condensation Art was perfected?

Early morning.

[Daily Intelligence Refresh!]

[Today's Intelligence!]

[1: Yesterday, you wandered around the Si Tuo family, learning that Si Tuo Yunzhan had fallen, and Si Tuo Yunfei's soul fled with only his元神, the news spreading.
