My Cultivation Starting from Archery

After leaving the black market, Chen Sansi changed his appearance again and, with a large amount of Spirit Stones, arrived at the commercial district of Daze Fang City. He had just entered the street when he saw wanted posters and portraits of himself plastered everywhere.

[Wanted: Chen Sansi]

[Reward Mission: Hundred-year residence rights to a High Grade Cave Mansion, Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, five thousand low-grade Spirit Stones...]

[Mission Location: Eastern Continent]

[Realm Requirement: Qi Refining 12th Layer and above, Martial Arts True Power and above, extra rewards for those who have led troops in war in the mortal world]

It wasn't just Chen Sansi himself.

Even his senior brothers and sisters were listed, albeit with comparatively pitiful reward amounts that hardly anyone gave a second glance.

This was...

The entire sect was being targeted!

Moreover, this couldn't be said to be a disaster left by Master, some things were simply unavoidable.

Originally,

If Master hadn't timely sealed the Ancestor Vein at the ends of the earth, the High Realm cultivators would immediately control the entire Eastern Continent after breaking the heaven and earth seal.

By then, not to mention the Spiritual Grain in the peasants' fields would directly change from ten percent to fifty percent, even the old Emperor himself would not escape the fate of becoming a puppet, forever controlled.

Everyone would live under the rule of the Immortals.

Chen Sansi also needed to find a way to rent a Spiritual Vein Cave Mansion and live cautiously, which meant that everything would go back to the way it was when he had first left Po Yang. He would have to retrace the path he had come, fraught not only with difficulties but also with tremendous risks.

Maintaining the status quo on the Eastern Continent was immensely beneficial for him, the common people, and even the Continent's enemies.

Furthermore, this great war among various countries was also instigated by the Cultivation World.

While they sought to fight for control over Spirit Veins, they directed the mortals of the Continent to the battlefield to die.

Just like how Han Xiang treated his soldiers as chess pieces, to the High Realm Immortals, the billions of souls on the Eastern Continent were simply their pawns.

Including Chen Sansi himself.

He had been prepared for the wanted order and wasn't surprised by it. At this point, it was a matter of confronting the soldiers with generals and stemming the water with earth—it just meant he had to be even more diligent in his cultivation.

As long as the heaven and earth seal remained intact, and he could reach the Middle Stage or even Late Stage of the True Power Realm, there would be no need to fear the High Realm cultivators in the Cultivation World.

After a brief glimpse, he entered the Hundred Treasure Tower to purchase items.

Firstly, he bought large quantities of materials for Elixir Pills and talismans, spending a total of two hundred Spirit Stones.

Then, it was High Grade Magic Weapons, Golden Bow and Silver Bullet, also worth two hundred Spirit Stones.

Since it wasn't easy to make the trip, Chen Sansi was reluctant to leave immediately. He continued to browse the shops, seeing if he could find any other items he needed.

Regrettably, he couldn't find the Martial Arts Elixir he needed. Weapons suitable for the True Power Realm were available, but he didn't lack them—his Master's legacy, the Longdan Bright Silver Spear, was a growth-type Mystical Weapon, which only needed additional materials to enhance its tier for continued use.

However, after leaving the Hundred Treasure Tower, another shop caught Chen Sansi's attention.

Ten Thousand Beast Building.

As the name implies, this was a place where Spiritual Pets were sold.

All sorts of Spiritual Pets, kept in cages with restrictions, were available for people to pick and purchase.

Chen Sansi had not yet developed any Beast Taming Skill, so he didn't mind buying another Spiritual Pet to raise. After all, he had his own Spirit Vein. Soon enough, his gaze settled on a small white snake.

[Spiritual Jade White Snake]

[Second-Tier Potential]

[Price: Four hundred Spirit Stones]

Snake-type spiritual beasts were always prime materials for making bows and arrows.

This "Spiritual Jade White Snake", in particular, is recorded as such: the snake tendon could be used for bowstrings, snake bone for Weapons, and even the snake skin and scales for crafting Defensive Magical Artifacts—all of its body was a treasure.

Furthermore, an adult "Spiritual Jade White Snake" was incredibly difficult to find in the forest, a rare occurrence over decades.

Coming from a hunter's background, Chen Sansi instinctively assessed the white snake's value and had not seen a Second-tier bow at the Hundred Treasure Tower. The thought of making early preparations crossed his mind.

If he raised one himself, it would be quite a bargain to dismantle it later.

With these thoughts, he made the purchase.

After buying the items,

Chen Sansi settled down in a teahouse by himself and sent the little dummy to the Fish and Dragon Collection to see if Bai Linxun of the Martial Arts Family, the Bai Family, was there. Meanwhile, he strolled about, inquiring about the Bai Family.

The number of Martial Arts Practitioners in the Sky Water Continent was few, with only a handful of Sects possessing legacies for Martial Arts realms beyond the basics; Martial Arts Families were even rarer.

The Bai Family was one of them.

The Bai family's dwelling was not far from Daze Fang City, located within Dusk Valley five hundred li away. They occupied a First Rank top-grade Spirit Vein, where Spiritual Energy was thick, barely less than that of a Second-tier.

Once upon a time, the Bai Family was extremely prosperous in the area.

The family's old ancestor was a True Power Late Stage Martial Artist. The family itself boasted as many as five True Power Middle Stage Martial Artists at one time, suppressing the other major families in the vicinity from raising their heads.

However, it was said to have gradually declined over recent years. Although still guarded by a True Power Late Stage elder ancestor, the family was experiencing a generation gap, with no one to take up the mantle for the time being. Therefore, many were starting to covet the Bai Family's precious land.

In the Cultivation World,

Spirit Veins are the most precious resource!

They hold a significance for cultivators akin to that of fertile fields for farmers.

Just as mortals would starve without fields to grow crops,

Cultivators without Spiritual Energy for cultivation are like fish without water.
