Main: Ancient Taoist Stele (Sealed): 5720/10000000

Sub: Ruyi Golden Needle
When Wang Chen summoned the Immortal Cultivation panel, he discovered a significant change in the equipment column.
Not only were all his special equipment displayed, but they were also divided into main and subsidiary ones, just like the cultivation techniques!
Taking the main position was none other than the Ancient Taoist Stele.
Its total number of sealing points reached a staggering ten million, thoroughly crushing the others into dust.
The stele’s rank was so high it was beyond imagination!
Wang Chen couldn’t help but sigh.
It was precisely because the rank of this treasure was so lofty, that it led to the original owner’s activation failure and obliteration of both body and soul.
If he hadn’t had the boost from the Immortal Cultivation panel,
his end would have been no different from the original owner’s, with his soul scattered upon just crossing over.
Now, the Ancient Taoist Stele had become Wang Chen’s main life-bound instrument.
It would grow with Wang Chen, gradually unleashing its due brilliance until it was fully unsealed!
Wang Chen had come to understand…
It was the existence of the stele with its supremely high rank that allowed him to wield the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net and Thousand Mechanisms Changing.
Main controls subsidiary.
And the main life-bound instrument was controlled by the Immortal Cultivation panel.
This allowed him, a mere Qi Cultivation cultivator, to possess opportunities others could only dream of!
In fact, whether it was the Ancient Taoist Stele, the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net, or Thousand Mechanisms Changing,
Endless mysteries awaited Wang Chen’s exploration.
“I will live well in this world for you,”
Wang Chen silently said to the original owner who had merged and dissipated: “Live a spectacular life!”
Upon this inner declaration,
His Divine Soul suddenly shook!
A Dao heart became exceptionally lively and distinct, with nature’s spiritual energy from the surrounding space rushing into his body.
He felt so light as if he could fly into the sky.
Since then, Wang Chen had no barriers left with this world.
Only today did I truly recognize that I am me!
A considerable hidden danger within Wang Chen was therefore entirely eliminated.
Even if ancient powers were to perform great supernatural powers in front of him, they would not be able to discern his true origin!
Wang Chen clapped his hands together, and the letter Wang Shaoyuan left for the original owner instantly turned to ashes.
Let all the secrets remain deep within memory.
…
“Achoo!”
Wang Chen sneezed forcefully, waking up.
Perhaps it was because of the excessive mental exhaustion from the day before, or perhaps because he had completely resolved the issues with his soul.
He was especially relaxed, not knowing when he had fallen deeply asleep in his bedroom.
Opening his eyes, Wang Chen saw Yuanyuan lying on his chest.
“Ying ying!”
He reached out to pet it and smiled, “Are you hungry? I’ll get you a strip of dried meat.”
This little guy really could eat a lot.
Three meals a day, each meal with meat, three pounds a meal, and still not enough!
Its belly seemed like a bottomless pit, where did all the digested nutrients go?
It just didn’t seem to be growing at all!
“Ying ying!”
“What? You say you’ve already eaten?”
“Ying ying!”
“What? You say you opened my Storage Bag?!”
“Ying ying!”
“What? You say you ate three strips of dried meat?!!”
“Ying ying!”
Wang Chen sat up, slapping his forehead.
He had to straighten this out.
Because he was worried about leaving Yuanyuan at home that it might wander off and get lost,
so yesterday Wang Chen took it with him to see the Mysterious Turtle.
Then, they came to this home.
And because he hadn’t fed it first thing in the morning, the little guy actually opened Wang Chen’s Storage Bag and helped itself to the food!
Wang Chen was truly astounded.
Could the Monster Race have such abilities?
This really touched on his blind spots in knowledge.
But considering those Spirit Monsters, Great Monsters, and Demon Kings, comparable to the Purple Mansion, Golden Core, and even Nascent Soul stages, were capable of speaking human language and transforming into human form, using a Storage Bag should be very normal.
Yuanyuan also had the same skills, probably part of its natural abilities!
Wang Chen suddenly realized.
He might have seriously underestimated Yuanyuan’s capabilities.
Stroking his chin, Wang Chen grabbed the little creature: “Yuanyuan, let’s go!”
Leaving the house, he found a tailor shop nearby on the street.
“`
The beautiful proprietress was quite surprised after hearing Wang Chen’s request, “Add a storage bag?”
Wang Chen confirmed, “Yes.”
He wanted to customize two spirit pet vests for Yuanyuan, with the requirement that storage bags be included.
The issue was that Yuanyuan was so tiny, the matching vests and storage bags would definitely have to be miniaturized!
The proprietress had never taken such a commission before and was somewhat troubled, “The storage bag will have to be crafted separately, I’m afraid it might be a bit more expensive than the standard ones, is that okay?”
“No problem.”
Wang Chen immediately slapped down a spirit stone as a deposit.
The main reason for customizing a vest with a storage bag was to make it convenient for Yuanyuan to feed itself in the future.
If it had such an ability, he certainly had to make use of it.
Keeping a spirit pet truly isn’t much different from raising a child, and the expenses might even be greater!
Given the little guy’s appetite, if it had been the old Wang Chen, he couldn’t afford it even if he sold all of his hundred-odd pounds of meat.
Yuanyuan: “Yiiiing!”
The proprietress herself took Yuanyuan’s measurements and praised, “The little one is really adorable!”
Indeed!
Otherwise, Wang Chen wouldn’t have fallen into this pit.
They agreed to pick up the goods three days later.
Just as he was preparing to leave with Yuanyuan.
The proprietress asked with a smile, “Fellow Daoist, why don’t you get another spirit beast pouch for your spirit pet?”
She presented four or five spirit beast pouches before Wang Chen.
As the name suggests, a spirit beast pouch is a pocket that holds spirit pets or monster beasts, with a function similar to that of a storage bag.
However, spirit beast pouches are smaller in capacity and a lot more expensive compared to storage bags.
The average spirit beast pouch can only accommodate one spirit pet, and those that can hold multiple are often exorbitantly expensive!
The several spirit beast pouches the proprietress brought out were all exquisitely made, and looked much classier than the storage bags.
Yuanyuan, who was lying on Wang Chen’s shoulder, suddenly had stars in its eyes, “Yiiiing yiiiing!”
Translated from mouse-talk, that meant: Want, want, want!
Alright then.
Wang Chen, out of patience, said, “Give me the smallest one.”
The proprietress’s peach blossom eyes curved even more, “I see your spirit pet is a girl, perhaps you want to add another…”
A stick of incense later, Wang Chen walked out of the tailor shop with a pale face, leaning against the wall for support.
This shop’s proprietress was really too formidable.
Even with Wang Chen’s cultivation of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method to the Golden Body level, he couldn’t withstand her relentless exploitation of his weakness, bleeding him dry over and over again.
He almost got completely drained!
The withered storage bag was weeping in silence.
Wang Chen spoke to the contented Yuanyuan with heavy emphasis, “My dear girl, promise me, when you grow up, please don’t marry off to a distant place, let’s just find a son-in-law who comes to our door, okay?”
Little Yuanyuan: “Yiiiing yiiiing!”
Wang Chen sighed deeply.
He looked back at the tailor shop that seemed like a spider’s lair, and silently swore in his heart.
I, Wang Chen, would rather jump off the top of the Star Observation Pavilion than visit this place a second time!
…
The next day after returning to Yi Ten Defense Area, Wang Chen went to his own spirit fields.
This time he didn’t ask the Valley Guests for help and got to work himself, swinging the sickle to harvest the ripe spiritual rice.
“Wang little brother!”
As Wang Chen was working diligently, a voice suddenly came from beside him, “Let me help you.”
Next door’s Han Dashi came over, holding a sickle in his hand.
Helping him harvest the rice together.
Wang Chen was both surprised and grateful, “Thank you, Uncle.”
Although he could completely handle this work alone, there was no need to refuse the neighborly kindness.
“We’re neighbors, why so formal!”
Han Dashi reminded him, “I’ve finished all of mine, you better hurry to deliver the grain. The purchase price for spiritual rice in the city dropped by nearly twenty percent yesterday, and it might go down even more today!”
This year was exceptional, with good weather for crops, not to mention the Sect Leader generously waived thirty percent of the farmers’ rent.
Moreover, the spiritual rice being collected no longer faced exploitation by the Spirit Planting Hall, being weighed fairly for payment.
The Spiritual Plant Farmers in the Outer Sect could say they were all bountifully enriched.
However, with the high harvest yields, the selling prices plummeted.
Not only that, but the prices of items sold in the city, especially cultivation resources, had increased by various degrees!
Although the farmers could hold onto their crops and not sell them.
But daily life expenses were essential, and the pressure of supporting a family was even greater.
Especially for those with children showing potential for cultivation, they couldn’t skimp when it comes to the children’s future!
Han Dashi, whose two children had somewhat decent Root Bones, was brought to tears just mentioning it.
Wang Chen thought for a moment, then asked, “Uncle Han, do you want to plant more fields? I can transfer these ten mu of spirit fields to you.”
He originally planned to return his spirit fields to the Defense Area.
Now he had changed his mind.
Han Dashi was shocked, “You’re not farming anymore?”
Wang Chen smiled, “I’m going to the Inner Sect.”
Clatter!
Han Dashi’s sickle fell to the ground.
