Daqian Martial Saint

Just because you grasp for more doesn’t mean you can digest it all.

The more arduously he cultivated, the more he came to understand the truth in that saying.

With a shift in his thoughts, Bi Shengdong paid it no more mind.

Seeing that his master had no further instructions, he bowed respectfully and left the main hall.

The latest edition of the Dragon and Tiger Chart had changed significantly. For someone like him who aimed to be on it, he needed to carefully study the experts listed and see what methods they all possessed.

Speaking of which...

A look of astonishment flashed through Bi Shengdong’s eyes.

A formidable figure had appeared on this edition of the Dragon and Tiger Chart. He had never been listed before, but his debut saw him shoot straight to the top ranks.

Furious Vajra, ranked seventeenth on the Dragon and Tiger Chart! His combat prowess was so immense that he could even suppress an ordinary Grandmaster!

...

HUM... HUM... HUM...

Aboard the carriage, Chen Ping’an’s Spirit Platform Spirituality shimmered with a hazy, azure light. Ever since leaving Five Peaks Mountain City, aside from the necessary meditation breaks, Chen Ping’an had spent nearly all his time in Cultivation of the Three-Point Human Tribulation Finger.

Due to his deliberate concealment, not even Water Hibiscus, who was in another carriage not far from him, noticed anything unusual.

Since leaving Five Peaks Mountain City, he and Water Hibiscus had barely spoken. Throughout the journey, they both kept to themselves. As long as Water Hibiscus didn’t seek him out, Chen Ping’an was happy to have the peace and quiet.

Besides his Cultivation, Chen Ping’an also took some time during the journey to take stock of his current assets.

After Tong Jin died that day, Chen Ping’an had naturally collected all his belongings. He had gotten quite a lot, but there was basically nothing he considered truly valuable.

The most valuable item was the pair of Palm Guards the man had been wearing. They were blood-red all over, etched with special patterns, and appeared to be a set of Fine Treasure Artifacts.

Besides the Palm Guards, the rest were just ordinary things, like Yuan Crystals, elixirs, and other miscellaneous items.

Oh, right, he almost forgot. There was one other item of considerable value.

It was the two bright red Command Flags that Tong Jin had carried on his back. The banners were made from Demon Beast Hide. Upon discovering this, Chen Ping’an had wondered if the Command Flags were some special type of Treasure Artifact with a unique function.

But after having someone investigate, he learned they were just ordinary decorative items with no other function! However, due to their special material, they could still fetch a handsome price.

The Qiankun Bureau really was shamelessly rich! To spend so much on such a useless trinket!

Including what he got from Tong Jin, Chen Ping’an now had nearly one thousand Yuan Crystals. The majority of it had been contributed by Iron Tower Demon Luo!

Aside from Yuan Crystals, he had plenty of other good things.

For storage-type Heavy Treasures, he had two Hundred Treasures Pouches. In addition, there were Tong Jin’s Fine Treasure Artifact Palm Guards, Li Pingjiang’s Fine Treasure Saber, Lan Yingjun’s Enchanting Bell, and the Quasi-Divine Weapon, the Profound Ice Silk Armor.

Besides weapons, Chen Ping’an also had several ordinary-Grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, sealed in Jade Boxes and stored safely. Though their Grade was considered ordinary, they were still rare and highly nourishing items for a typical Profound Light Realm cultivator.

Furthermore, Chen Ping’an had some miscellaneous jars and bottles, which mostly contained Healing Elixirs and Tracking Powder. The former he had accumulated after killing numerous people, while the latter he had obtained from the Mountain Elder.

In addition to these items, Chen Ping’an also had two Qiankun Bureau Tokens and one Ruyi Treasure Pavilion access Token. The former were obtained from Cao Yingxiong and Lu Shengyang, and with their deaths, the Tokens had become useless. However, they might still have some value if sold.

For Chen Ping’an, compared to the former, he was more interested in the latter... the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion access Token.

The Ruyi Treasure Pavilion’s business spanned the entire Canglong Province, and it even occasionally dabbled in business outside the province. In addition to the items sold within the Treasure Pavilion, the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion also regularly organized high-level, private trade gatherings.

With the access Token, he could attend these high-level trade gatherings.

If he had the chance, he wanted to make a trip to Canglong State City to experience one of these high-level trade gatherings and see if he could buy anything he desired.

Speaking of which, with Chen Ping’an’s true strength, he was actually qualified to obtain a Ruyi Treasure Pavilion access Token on his own. However, since his Cultivation was not yet public, having this ready-made Token from the Mountain Elder was quite convenient!

After taking stock of everything, Chen Ping’an’s total net worth exceeded two thousand Yuan Crystals.

’A net worth of two thousand Yuan Crystals is enough to look down on most of the experts on the Dragon and Tiger Chart. But compared to a true Grandmaster, my foundation is still too shallow.’

’Compared to the accumulations of those Grandmasters, who have had decades or even centuries to build their wealth, how could I possibly compete? I’ve only just reached the Grandmaster level myself.’

Just as Chen Ping’an was lost in thought, the carriage suddenly came to a stop. He lifted the curtain and glanced outside.

”We’ve arrived at Beicang Town!”
