Chapter 216: Chapter 119: Acquiring the Minor Five Elements Thousand Thunder Technique, An Unexpected Letter (Part 3)

The market outskirts were unchanged from when he had left.

Unlike before, this time, as he walked through the streets and alleys, he was no longer confused and tense like when he first arrived.

Although it had only been half a year since he last left.

But his strength had undergone a remarkable transformation.

Fifth-Layer Qi Cultivation!

Numerous magical techniques perfected!

Carrying several magical artifacts on him!

And boasting a record of slaying the Insect King Xue Tong, who was comparable to a late-stage Qi Cultivation practitioner...

At least on the market outskirts, he wasn’t afraid of anyone.

Of course.

He remained cautious when necessary.

Having lived here as a low-tier little cultivator for more than ten years, he wouldn’t have any arrogant thoughts or actions.

He reached a familiar area smoothly and almost immediately spotted the courtyard where he used to live.

This house was obviously occupied by a family of three.

A middle-aged woman was hanging clothes in the courtyard, while a ten-year-old child was continuously practicing the Beginner Qi Cultivation Technique in the yard.

This so-called Beginner Qi Cultivation Technique is the basic entry-level cultivation method for ordinary mortals entering the Qi Cultivation Realm, and it’s an immortal technique that combines motion and stillness.

It’s most suitable for children who have not officially started cultivation, slowly utilizing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to nourish the body and lay the foundation for cultivation.

Just like him, he had practiced the "Beginner Qi Cultivation Technique" for a full five years before truly entering the First-Layer Qi Cultivation, which allowed him to have the foundation for cultivating the cultivation method, and then he could practice the "Five Elements Technique," officially embarking on the path of cultivation.

Zhou Changwang glanced at the child, and under the Spirit Eye Technique, the other person’s aptitude was almost unmistakable.

With gold, wood, earth, and fire four-attribute Spirit Root, his aptitude was much better than his own back then.

"Are you Zhou Changwang?

It’s been a while since I saw you; did you move somewhere else?"

Just then, a somewhat surprised voice came from not far behind Zhou Changwang. He turned around quickly and recognized the person; it was his former neighbor, the wife of the ’Brother Mu,’ who had rushed to the Inner City during the chaotic night and returned with a broken arm.

"Moved to the Inner City."

Zhou Changwang explained with a smile.

Seeing an old acquaintance unexpectedly, there was still some joy in his heart.

"Inner City? Xiaoqian also moved to the Inner City; I guess you moved together?"

Eldest Sister-in-law Mu seemed to remember something and asked teasingly with a smile.

"No, that’s not the case."

Zhou Changwang quickly waved his hand in denial and then routinely inquired about her recent situation.

Only then did he learn that after ’Brother Mu’ returned from the chaotic night, he sobered up and no longer dreamed of cultivation. Now, his heart is set on earning spirit stones to pave the way for his son.

With ’Brother Mu’s’ Fifth-Layer Qi Cultivation level, even with a lost arm, it was not a problem to support his family.

And his son was recently tested to have a three-attribute Spirit Root, making his cultivation talent quite good, so their family was very motivated.

"By the way.

A while ago, someone from your family sent a letter, presumably from your father.

Before, we didn’t know where you moved to, so it couldn’t be delivered.

Now that you’re here, this letter can finally be handed to you."

Eldest Sister-in-law Mu said, then immediately shouted to the middle-aged woman in his former courtyard, "Xiaoqing, this is the previous owner of your courtyard.

Last time you received a letter, it was sent by his father. Now that he’s here, give him the letter."

"A letter from my father?"

Zhou Changwang was startled.

Feeling a bit surprised.

He didn’t expect that letters could pass between the immortal and mortal realms.

However, inside, there was a slight expectation.

"Oh, oh... okay!"

The middle-aged woman responded promptly, nodding repeatedly, then ran quickly into the house. Before long, she returned with a thick leather envelope and handed it to him.

Zhou Changwang glanced at the slightly loosened seal on the leather, guessing the other party had already read it, but he wasn’t surprised.

He was already very grateful that the other party was willing to keep the letter and give it to him.

In this Cultivation Realm, he had no hope of others respecting the so-called privacy.

"Thank you for keeping it.

I have a few spirit talismans here; they’re not worth many spirit stones, just a token of appreciation for you."

Zhou Changwang cupped his hands and said, then made a gesture to retrieve a few spirit talismans from his bosom.

These were high-quality spirit talismans, including one Fireball Talisman and one Thunder Talisman, which he directly handed to the middle-aged woman.

As for a Golden Shield Talisman, Zhou Changwang handed it to Eldest Sister-in-law Mu.

After all, if it weren’t for her, he might really have missed his father’s letter.

"This, Brother Zhou, you’re too kind."

Eldest Sister-in-law Mu looked at the spirit talisman in her hand. As a cultivator, she recognized the Golden Shield Talisman of high quality, currently valued at twenty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones in the market, and she was somewhat excited.

On the other hand, the middle-aged woman named ’Xiaoqing,’ practiced martial arts but was essentially a mortal. She couldn’t recognize the talisman, but upon hearing it was worth some spirit stones, she was very grateful.

Zhou Changwang waved his hand and didn’t say much, bidding farewell quickly.

Before leaving, he found an opportunity to retrieve the Cyan Leaf Order that was originally buried in the ground and took it into his hand.
