Chapter 166: Fame in the Southern Region, the Fifth Piece of the Ancient Sheepskin Scroll!

At the Same Time

Qin Wang took out a dozen or so spirit stones, instructing Shi San on how to begin his cultivation.

Shi San was illiterate.

Qin Wang then asked Zhang Fujiang to personally teach him the cultivation method of the Five Elements Gathering Essence Technique.

Zhang Fujiang took his master's instructions very seriously.

He even used his own spiritual power to guide Shi San, helping him sense the flow of energy through his meridians. Within two and a half days, Shi San managed to gather a trace of spiritual power.

"Master, I feel like there's a little snake in my belly," Shi San exclaimed in surprise after a morning of cultivation.

"Good, keep practicing," Qin Wang replied, satisfaction evident in his eyes. "With your aptitude and comprehension, you'll soon be able to perform feats like leaping over rooftops, just like martial arts experts."

According to the current information, Shi San would be a significant asset to him in the future. Qin Wang looked forward to seeing how Shi San would develop and the rewards he would bring.

Qin Wang left Shi San to practice on his own.

Taking advantage of this time, he checked his storage bag to review his recent gains and consolidate his cultivation base.

At present, his own cultivation was at the early Foundation Establishment stage.

With the Foundation Establishment puppets Mu Hun No. 2, Chu Chucheng's Foundation Establishment physical body, the Earth Dragon Beast King, along with the Four Symbols Strangling Formation, Thunder Sound Formation, and Yin-Yang Illusion Formation, he should be able to crush ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However, the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty was currently searching for "Qin Tiedan and Zhang Fujiang" everywhere. Qin Wang had no intention of wandering around right now.

He planned to lay low and wait until the commotion died down.

"A bounty for Qin Tiedan and Zhang Fujiang? They killed the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty's 18th prince, Chu Ping? Each of their heads is worth five thousand spirit stones? Capturing one alive is worth 20,000 spirit stones plus a high-grade spirit weapon? Is this for real?"

"If I could capture that Qin Tiedan, I'd be rich!"

"No way, I heard the 18th prince had an incarnation of the Chu family's ancestor protecting him! They're not disciples of a major sect, just two rogue cultivators, how could they be so powerful? Did they get the wrong people?"

...

In the Wanling Market, at the most conspicuous spot in the rogue cultivators' square, a plaque about one square zhang in size had been erected. Hundreds of rogue cultivators surrounded it, all in shock and talking fervently.

"Qin Tiedan?"

"Fellow Daoist Qin? That's impossible, right? Could he really kill the 18th prince of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty?"

Li Qiye stood among the crowd, deeply frowning as he looked at the wanted poster with its picture and name.

The person in the picture bore an 80-90% resemblance to the Qin Tiedan he had met.

He had met Qin Tiedan before and had even invited him to seek immortality together.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, whether you did it or not, I hope you escape safely..."

"After all, we both came from Xiaodan Mountain, so we are somewhat fated."

Li Qiye thought for a while as he looked at the wanted poster, then turned and left.

This time, in the Wanling Blessed Land, he had sensed a mysterious calling, and after jumping into the Wanling Lake, he narrowly escaped death and obtained a treasure!

In the Wanling Market.

"Why does the face on this wanted poster look so much like Wangzai?"

In front of the Wanbao Building, a graceful female cultivator in a white fairy dress looked at the conspicuous wanted poster on the wall with deep worry in her eyes.

This female cultivator was Qin Xuemei, who had joined the Wanhua Immortal Sect.

"Junior Sister Xuemei, Master wants us back early, let's go!" At this moment, a cold-looking female cultivator next to Qin Xuemei spoke up.

"Yes, Senior Sister Zhang!" Qin Xuemei sighed helplessly and turned to leave with her fellow sect members.

"Wangzai, you must take care of yourself!" Qin Xuemei silently prayed as she followed her fellow disciples.

She knew that the only thing she could do now was to improve her own cultivation. Only by being strong enough could she protect those she cared about.

Southern Region

In Jianghan City of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty, Zhang Panpan, dressed in white, stood on the long street. Suddenly, she saw a group of dozens of cultivators gathered ahead, talking animatedly. She scanned them with her divine sense for a while and frowned slightly. "A wanted poster? Qin Tiedan? Isn't this Qin Wang?"

"Could the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty be mistaken?"

At this moment, Zhang Panpan was very puzzled.

From what she knew, Qin Wang, who had taken on the alias Qin Tiedan, was only at the 10th level of Qi Refining. How could he possibly kill the 18th prince?

Not to mention the incarnation of Chu Yunxiao, the ancestor of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty.

Even she, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, would have to flee in the face of a Nascent Soul expert's incarnation. Qin Wang absolutely couldn't have killed Chu Yunxiao's incarnation.

"Qin Wang has helped me so much, I hope he can stay safe," Zhang Panpan thought as she looked at the distant wanted poster.

Given her current cultivation, she couldn't help Qin Wang much. She could only hope that he could hide well and avoid being found by the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty's cultivators.

While Qin Wang was hiding in Jinyang City, cultivators throughout the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty, and even half the Southern Region, were searching for Qin Tiedan and Zhang Fujiang.

Southern Region

In the Wanling Market, in a luxurious hall, Chu Hancheng, dressed in brocade robes, sat anxiously, looking at a middle-aged man in front of him. "Fifth Brother, it's been a month and a half, and there's still no news. The Emperor sent someone to urge us yesterday..."

"Third Brother, we've already issued a wanted order in the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty and a bounty throughout the Southern Region, but there's still no sign of them."

"Those two scoundrels seem to have vanished into thin air!"

Chu Hanxing sighed.

Their ancestor was thunderously angry.

He wouldn't rest until they were caught.

For more than a month, he and his brothers hadn't been able to cultivate, constantly searching without any leads. This delay in their cultivation made him hate Qin Tiedan even more.

"It seems the bounty isn't high enough!" Chu Hancheng mused.

He knew that with a high enough reward, people would come forward.

"Third Brother, are you suggesting increasing the bounty's spirit stones?" Chu Hanxing's eyes flashed. He had considered this before.

"Yes, I'm thinking of adding a talisman treasure and three spirit weapons. The sooner we catch them, the less time we'll waste on this!"

Chu Hancheng said seriously.

He was now at the Gold Core stage.

Time was precious, and every moment wasted was a step further from the Nascent Soul stage!

Who wouldn't want to advance further on their path?

"I'll also contribute a high-grade spirit weapon. When we catch them, I'll make them wish they were dead!" Chu Hanxing's eyes flashed with killing intent.

As a Gold Core cultivator, he had quite a few spirit weapons at his disposal.

Yue Country

In Menghuji of Jinyang County, in a shabby house with leaky walls, Shi San was cultivating, while Qin Wang and Zhang Fujiang were in the back room with the door closed, not going out at all.

A hundred zhang away from Shi San's old house, in a three-room tile-roofed house, a woman in her thirties with an apron tied around her waist and a wooden hairpin in her hair, holding a ladle, looked at a boy about Shi San's age with disbelief. "Lin'er, are you saying that brat has money to buy rice?"

"Mom, I saw him buying rice at the 'Zhang's Grain Shop.' His money bag was bulging, he must have a lot!" Shi Lin's eyes darted around as he spoke.

"That brat, where did he get the money? The last money that went missing must have been stolen by him!" Wu Yongqian's triangular eyes flashed with anger as she put down the ladle, untied her apron, grabbed her son Shi Lin, and picked up a bamboo stick. "Let's go, we'll get the stolen money back from that brat. Today, I'll teach him a lesson! See if he dares steal again!"

Wu Yongqian used to live in the old house, but after her husband bought a new three-room house three months ago, following the death of the first wife, they moved into the new house.

But she didn't like the first wife's son, Shi San, and used various means to drive him to live in the old house.

However, due to her husband, she still had to provide for Shi San's meals.

She wished Shi San would die soon.

In the old house, Shi San was busy at the stove. He had used the money given by his master to buy some rice and vegetables and had just finished cooking when he smelled the food. Suddenly, his stepmother stood at the door with a bamboo stick, her expression angry.

"You are so good, Xiao San, and you still say you didn't steal money! Where did you get the money to buy rice and vegetables? Take out the money!"

"Er Niang, you are wronging me!"

"I really didn't steal money!"

Shi San argued.

"Didn't steal? Let me search!"

Wu Yongqian rushed in angrily and went straight to Shi San to find the purse. Shi Lin on the side was looking for it in each room. When Shi Lin came to the room where Qin Wang was in seclusion, he found that the door could not be pushed open.

Wu Yongqian reached out and grabbed Shi San's arms.

Shi San had been practicing the Five Elements Gathering Yuan Gong with spirit stones these days, and he already had magic power in his body. He pushed Er Niang, but he didn't expect that the force was so great that Er Niang Wu Yongqian fell to the ground, hit her head on the wall, and immediately got a big bump.

"Ah!!!! Little beast!"

"I'll see if i don't beat you to death today!"

When Wu Yongqian touched the big bump on her head, her eyes were bloodshot and she rushed towards Shi San. Shi San had already mastered the Five Elements Gathering Yuan Gong, and he was no longer the same as before. His body was as fast as a rabbit. Wu Yongqian failed to catch him several times and was also beaten black and blue.

"Little beast, you are so rebellious, wait for your father to come back and deal with you! Ouch."

Finally, Wu Yongqian saw that Shi San had become difficult to deal with, and immediately left a harsh word and fled.

"Shi San, I am practicing in this back room. Don't let anyone know!"

"If anyone knows, I will leave."

Qin Wang sat in the back room and transmitted his voice to Shi San.

Qin Wang knew it in his heart.

The people of Tianchu Xianchao were looking for him, so he couldn't reveal his tracks, even if he was seen by ordinary people. He just wanted to hide here and practice in silence.

"Master, I know!"

Shi San nodded solemnly.

In the early hours of the morning.

[Daily intelligence refresh! ]

[Today's intelligence! ]

[1: You saw Shi San's second mother Wu Yongqian yesterday and got information that there was an old sheepskin scroll in the dowry Wu Yongqian brought from her mother's home. ]

[2: Yesterday, you used your spiritual sense to check Shi San's half-brother Shi Lin and obtained information. Shi Lin pushed the door you were in but couldn't open it. He went back and told Wu Yongqian. Wu Yongqian suspected that the money Shi San stole was hidden in the back room where you were meditating. She was going to wait for her husband to come back tonight to retrieve the stolen money. ]
