Ding—

A brand-new Joy Coin, illuminated by the bright lights, spun as it reached the apex of its parabola, falling into the open backpack by the bed.

The third day after the battle at the Spire.

After a busy day, Daoist Wang returned to a high-end hotel in the Cabaret District of the forty-sixth level of Joy City, and lay on a soft, two-meter-wide bed, gently exhaling.

This was a deluxe room costing two Joy Coins per night, equipped with a white porcelain bathtub, and…

A commode that could be flushed at will without inserting a coin.

He quite liked this kind of commode; it was much more advanced than the wooden bucket he used before he went up the mountain.

Wang Jixuan glanced at the backpack, its bottom filled with Joy Coins and fixed-amount Joy Coin credit cards.

This was all of Gu Wenzhen's savings.

Daoist Wang turned his head to look at several cans of deactivated Blade Beast blood, several iron boxes containing complete Blade Beast exoskeletons, and the Soul-Seizing Talisman pressed under the iron boxes…

A subtle sense of accomplishment arose within him.

Cultivation was like this; the inner sect elders only needed to bury themselves in diligent cultivation, while the outer sect elders had many more things to consider.

In this life, he was retracing the path to ascension, and he had to earn every resource himself, which actually gave him a sense of fulfillment.

'Is this worldly tempering?'

Wang Jixuan raised his hand and supported his forehead.

He had recently discovered that he seemed to have a talent for becoming a demonic cultivator…

After fighting Wen Hesen, the 'Giant Bone Fish,' the number three figure in the Blackfire Gang, Wang Jixuan put away his contempt for these gangs.

The Blackfire Gang's big BOSS was still a mystery. Wang Jixuan had begun to suspect that this BOSS had never been in the Lower City from the beginning, and that the Blackfire Gang was being remotely controlled by someone in the Upper City.

But now, for Wang Jixuan, this BOSS was actually secondary.

Spiritually Awakened and Blade Beasts.

Wang Jixuan had a strong premonition that these two things must be related to his future path of cultivation!

The spiritual energy in the air of this world was too thin. If he wanted to become an immortal by relying on meditation and diligent cultivation, the lifespan of each stage might not be enough. He might not be able to condense a Golden Core even if he cultivated until he died…

Spirit stones, demon cores, or other treasures containing spiritual energy were extremely important to Wang Jixuan.

The Blackfire Gang had clues related to them.

What Wang Jixuan wanted to do most now was to give Wen Hesen a head massage and then conveniently stick a Soul-Seizing Talisman on him.

However, there was no chance for the time being.

The Blackfire Gang was now under full martial law, drones were flying everywhere, and the lights were turned up to the maximum, searching every corner for 'Mu Liang'.

Wang Jixuan could only temporarily avoid the limelight and take the opportunity to prepare.

Relying on Lower City money to pave the way, he had found a lot of [Deactivated Blade Beast Blood], enough to make a thousand low-level talismans;

He had also found some [Blade Beast Exoskeletons]. As long as he found some ore, he could try to refine some Bone-Penetrating Nail-type magic tools;

But he hadn't found even half a Blade Beast demon core.

Wang Jixuan speculated that if this kind of cultivation resource really existed, then it was likely to be in the hands of the Fortress nobles, especially the Thirteenth Institute.

If he gained nothing in the Blackfire Gang matter next, then after his cultivation entered the Gathering Spirit Realm or even a higher realm, he would continue to deal with Zhou Zhengde and Wei Na, and ask them to help him find Blade Beast demon cores together.

To this end, Wang Jixuan was willing to pay some costs that did not endanger his own safety.

For example, helping Zhou Zhengde and Wei Na relax their muscles and activate their blood, helping their relatives and friends cure some difficult and complicated diseases, giving them a self-created breathing technique to prolong their lives, and so on.

—If he could get the necessary cultivation resources on his own, then he would continue to maintain a certain distance from Zhou and Wei.

In the past two days, Wang Jixuan had also been looking for other materials for refining magic tools.

This made him even more speechless.

The metals he could come into contact with had almost all been repeatedly used many times, and had lost even a trace of spiritual energy. Most of them were various alloys.

What he needed was ore.

The kind that had just been mined and contained spiritual energy.

Wang Jixuan had already begun to worry about his future Sword Control Technique.

When a person drifts in the Immortal Realm, what is the most important thing?

Of course, a top-quality flying sword with shimmering water patterns!

“Oh, I’ll look for it slowly. These things have to be done one by one.”

Wang Jixuan constantly pondered in his heart.

'Next, I have to find a way to return to the forty-ninth level, find an opportunity to get rid of Wen Hesen, and obtain the secrets of the Spiritually Awakened. If I can find the Blade Beast demon core in the Blackfire Gang, that would be even better.'

'I can't let the Blackfire Gang's mysterious BOSS escape. I still have to determine his whereabouts as soon as possible and end this karma.'

'I wonder what Wen Hesen's specific injuries are like. Will he call more Spiritually Awakened to come down and help?'

Wang Jixuan closed his eyes and thought for a long time. When he was about to fall asleep, he shuddered, immediately turned over and sat up, and quickly pinched his fingers to form a seal.

Embrace Oneness and Guard the Origin, Internal Circulation of the Heavens.

“Cultivation cannot be abandoned; I must enter the realm of abundant Qi as soon as possible.”

Wang Jixuan flicked his finger lightly, and a wisp of Qi accurately hit the light switch.

Click.

The room immediately plunged into darkness.

Outside the concrete-sealed window was the bustling 'Cabaret District' night market of Joy City. Those scenes of revelry and drunken dreams could easily mislead people into thinking that the golden age of humanity had not passed.

Wang Jixuan had not been meditating for long.

Rustle, rustle.

A slight footstep came from the carpeted corridor.

The Soul-Seizing Talisman, which was pressed under the iron box and sealed the 'Bartender's' soul, floated up slightly at one corner.

Someone was approaching.

Wang Jixuan suddenly opened his eyes, silently jumped from the bedside to the corner of the wall behind the door, steadily supported his legs on both walls, and carefully sensed the situation outside the door.

'What a strong baleful aura.'

There were a total of five people in the corridor. Each person's breathing was very light, and their footsteps were also very weak.

Had his whereabouts been exposed?

The latest and most complete novel is at Six/9/Books/Bar/First/Release!

Did the Blackfire Gang send elite thugs to retaliate?

Or was there some other situation?

Dong! Dong!

The other party suddenly knocked on the door, and a young woman shouted in a squeaky voice:

“Hello, this is the hotel service, I'm here to deliver hot water. Would it be convenient for you to come to the door to pick it up?”

Wang Jixuan did not answer, held his breath, pinched five utility knife blades shining with cold light in his left hand, and held a silenced pistol in his right hand.

A voice came from outside, lowered to the lowest possible level.

“No one there?”

“The scanner didn't find any traces of living people in the room area. I mean, there's no one on the bed or in the bathroom, and no one under the bed either. Strange.”

“It might be a trap. Prepare a high-frequency flashbang. Our goal is to bring him back, no matter what method we use and whether he is injured or not… Swipe the door open.”

Click, sizzle—

The electronic lock, which the hotel reception called 'resistant to various electromagnetic interferences,' was easily cracked by the five people outside.

A black 'easy-pull can' was thrown in from outside, and the door was slammed shut.

Bang!

Strong light instantly filled the entire space!

Even though Wang Jixuan reacted quickly and raised his hand to cover his eyes, large white patches still appeared before his eyes!

One person kicked open the door violently, and three men and women holding rifles rushed in at the same time. One person knelt on one knee, and two people swept their gun barrels left and right, tacitly sealing off three areas in the room with their muzzles, while the other two people guarded the door.

Wang Jixuan sensed carefully.

The light spots in front of his eyes had not yet receded, and the other party did not look up at the corner on the door.

So he held his breath and endured, continuing to wait for the best time to strike.

“Wardrobe! Under the bed!”

The three people below moved forward at the same time, approaching the wardrobe, under the bed, and the sealed window. Because the three of them had vacated their positions and said “No danger,” the two people outside the door flashed into the door, closing the door quickly and gently.

This was the moment!

The sound of air being torn apart suddenly appeared!

Wang Jixuan flicked his left hand violently, and five cold lights shot past. The silenced pistol in his hand fired continuously!

After a series of 'pew, pew, pew' sounds, the room became extremely quiet.

Wang Jixuan slowly slid down, leaning against the anti-theft door, closing his eyes to sense the movements in all directions, and wisps of cool breath nourished his eyes.

After a short while, Wang Jixuan's vision returned to normal. He turned on the fluorescent light and stared expressionlessly at the five corpses in the room.

Hmm?

Not green tracksuits?

The cause of death of these five people was that a utility knife blade had been inserted into a similar position behind their necks.

Because Wang Jixuan's vision was obstructed, the angle of this shooting was somewhat unstable. Only three of these five corpses had bullet holes in their heads, and two had bullet holes in their backs.

Thinking about the scene where the pistol couldn't break Wen Hesen's thick skin last time…

'Magic tools are still more useful.'

Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows and shrugged, put the pistol on safety, and stuffed it into the inner pocket of his jacket.

This place was no longer a place to stay for long.

He stepped over these corpses, wanting to first collect the blood and exoskeletons that he had worked so hard to obtain, when his sight was suddenly attracted by the shimmering green light in a corpse's arms.

What was this thing?

He cautiously approached, with his spiritual sense turned up to the maximum, and found an instrument the size of a watch dial in the arms of that muscular leader, carefully looking at it for a few moments.

This thing was very similar to Lan Yuzai's holographic video player.

Daoist Wang tried to click the green play button.

Four rays converged from the outside of the instrument, and a somewhat blurred three-dimensional projection video appeared inside.

Zhou Zhengde, wearing a light blue uniform and sitting behind a desk, appeared in front of him with a smile.

“It's recording already? Good! Mu Liang!

“When you see this recording, I think the five elite Lower City mercenaries I hired should already be in front of you.

“They are going to escort you back. I think you should already have a relatively basic understanding of each other, right?

“Please trust their abilities. They are apex predators in the lower city's food chain, true killers who disregard gang rules. Each of them is highly skilled, of course, and their prices are exorbitant.”

Zhou Zhengde wore a pained expression on the projection screen.

Wang Jixuan: … …

He looked at the corpses that were starting to cool.

Youth is a wonderful thing; they can fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the ground.
