I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

Then, as he unleashed the final Annual Ring Skill.

Buzz~!

The ring time of the Purple Bodhi Fruit Tree quickly broke through the three-hundred-year limit, reaching four hundred years.

Immediately, endless essence power rushed into the five Purple Bodhi growing on the tree.

Instantly turning those five Purple Bodhi into pure purple, they became larger, rounder, and emitted a tempting fragrance.

Simultaneously, auspiciousness descended, and the pure power of creation was born from the void, spreading in all directions.

Zhou Changwang quickly operated the Pure Yang Five Elements Technique, absorbing this pure power of creation, and summoned his Spirit Dog Xiaohanzi and Spirit Insect Golden Armor King Flying Cicada to enjoy the baptism of this power.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Suddenly, Zhou Changwang felt a stir in his heart and snapped his eyes open.

In an instant, he saw a group of people rapidly approaching from afar.

Leading them was someone Zhou Changwang knew, having dealt with him before.

It was none other than Ye Ping’an, the son of the Workshop Master from the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace.

Beside him was a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator from the Ye Family, said to be Ye Ping’an’s second uncle, the brother of Workshop Master Ye Yanshu, Ye Qianyuan.

Apart from these two, there were seven or eight others, either Ye Family cultivators or some loose cultivator experts following Ye Ping’an, each with considerable strength.

Obviously, they were all attracted by the auspicious qi caused by the ripening Purple Bodhi.

Seeing the five Purple Bodhi growing on the tree, their faces lit up with excitement. Ye Ping’an shouted, "I am Ye Ping’an, the son of the Workshop Master. If you are willing to offer these five Purple Bodhi, I will take you under my wing and let you work for me.

And recruit you as a tributor for the Ye Family, enjoying all the cultivation benefits."

Zhou Changwang ignored him, quickly plucking all five Purple Bodhi, placing them into a jade box, and sealing them with a Sealing Talisman.

Following that, he quickly waved his hand to retrieve the Spirit Dog and Golden Armor King Flying Cicada, and then exerted the Divine Movement Technique to the extreme, turning into a flash of spiritual light, swiftly dashing into the endless forest.

"Stop! Halt!"

Seeing this, Ye Ping’an grew furious and yelled harshly.

"How bold, where do you think you’re going?"

The Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator Ye Qianyuan’s face changed too, tossing out his flying sword and leaping onto it.

Then, he quickly pursued in the direction of Zhou Changwang.

However, the Black Forest lived up to its name.

The trees here were dense, shrubs thick.

Zhou Changwang himself was already very fast, using Concealing Breath Technique, Invisibility Technique, and Earth Escape Technique simultaneously. As long as their divine sense couldn’t lock onto him, even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would struggle to catch up.

Consequently, it wasn’t long before Ye Qianyuan returned, sighing, "He got away."

"Second Uncle, it’s not your fault.

I saw his speed too, it was indeed very quick.

If Second Uncle hadn’t used Sword Flight, you probably wouldn’t have caught up.

It was normal for him to escape.

Yet, although this person used a magical artifact hat to cover his face, for some reason, he gave me a familiar feeling.

Perhaps we’ve seen him before?"

Ye Ping’an waved his hand and comforted.

Although he was interested in the Purple Bodhi and hoped to enhance his physical strength with it, it wasn’t absolutely necessary for him.

As the son of the Workshop Master, he had an abundance of similar treasures and resources.

But seeing the treasure before his eyes suddenly disappear left him a little unwilling.

Therefore, he focused mainly on that fleeting figure, feeling a vague sense of familiarity.

However, as hard as he tried, he couldn’t recall.

"Within the marketplace, wherever there’s a strong person, they’ll eventually show up.

This man’s in the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation, quite strong, and fast, is probably someone we know within the marketplace.

Feeling familiar is quite normal.

Moreover, even if he’s an unknown hidden powerhouse.

But we already saw his two spirit pets, a black Spirit Dog, and what seems to be a Spirit Insect, the Golden Armor King Flying Cicada?

With such characteristics, if he reappears, we’ll recognize him quickly."

Ye Qianyuan stated calmly.

"Second Uncle is right.

When I stand before him again, I really want to see how he reacts."

Ye Ping’an smiled slightly, full of confidence.

...

"Take in? Follow? Become a Ye Family tributor?"

Zhou Changwang emerged from underground, a cold smile on his face.

Back in the black market, when he appeared as Talisman Master Ascendant Feng Hua, this young master Ye Ping’an made this offer, which he declined at the time.

And now it’s happening again?

It seems to be his usual tactic.

A common cultivator might be tempted.

After all, being under a big tree provides shade; becoming a Ye Family tributor in Divine Wind Valley Marketplace brings great benefits.

But Zhou Changwang didn’t care; his strength and skills were earned through his endeavors.

Joining any faction as long as it aids his peaceful cultivation isn’t of much difference to him.

Then, Zhou Changwang didn’t linger, using Geomancy Skill and Dragon-Seeking and Acupoint-Pointing Secret Technique to survey the spirit vein earth qi.
