"Cutting grass with a sickle?"

Seeing the simplified prompt, Chang'sheng's eyes flashed.

This cutting grass with a sickle is just way too easy.

Just find a random place outside and start cutting grass, then I could max out the Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique, right?

Chang'sheng willed it, and the panel appeared.

"First, let's max out the Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique, then head to Giant Whale City!"

Chang'sheng made up his mind, packed everything up right away, left his cave mansion, found a patch of grass a few miles away, took out a sickle-shaped lower grade magical artifact from his storage bag, and started cutting grass.

Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique experience points +1!

Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique experience points +1!

......

"Just cutting grass to farm experience, hell yeah!!"

"Looks like, I need to go to the cultivation marketplace in Giant Whale City and buy a few more Foundation Establishment techniques to fuse—otherwise, these low level cultivation techniques make my cultivation experience points go up way too slow!"

"Also, gotta start refining some Yuan Condensing Pills."

Chang'sheng thought to himself.

Because—

Once I've refined Yuan Condensing Pills and take them, my experience will go up much faster.

Just then, sword lights started flying eastward one after another in the sky.

"Weird, what's going on in the east? Why are so many Foundation Establishment cultivators headed over there?"

Chang'sheng glanced up at the sky while cutting grass, a puzzled look on his face.

Currently, the cultivation level he's showing to the outside world is Early Stage of Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

Right then, a figure sped by from a distance at breakneck speed; passing by Chang'sheng, the person stared at him curiously, stopped, and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you... cutting grass?"

"Cao De?"

Chang'sheng looked at the short-bearded middle-aged man before him in surprise.

He didn't expect to meet Cao De here—the guy famous for chasing after other people's wives.

But Chang'sheng knew right now, he was disguised as Alchemist Zhang Han, so Cao De wouldn't recognize him.

Instinctively, Chang'sheng glanced at the guy's waistband, then nodded, cupped his fists and said, "Fellow Daoist, yes, I hit a bottleneck in my cultivation and couldn't break through, so I thought cutting some grass would calm my mind—it's good for a breakthrough!"

"Oh, I see!"

Cao De looked suddenly enlightened and prepared to leave.

"Fellow Daoist, why are so many Foundation Establishment cultivators flying east today? Are you heading that way too?"

Chang'sheng glanced at Cao De, a thought flashed in his mind, and he asked.

"Yeah, you don't know?"

"I heard someone discovered the cave mansion of a Golden Core cultivator—Yu Kun Divine Monarch—from centuries ago, so the Foundation Establishment cultivators from both the Righteous and Evil Dao are heading there. Me... heh heh, I'm just going to join the fun!"

Hearing Chang'sheng's question, Cao De's eyes sparkled with longing as he replied.

"So that's it! Thanks for clearing things up, Fellow Daoist!"

Chang'sheng nodded in understanding.

"Farewell!"

Cao De turned and sped off.

"Golden Core cultivator, Yu Kun Divine Monarch's cave mansion?"

Chang'sheng's heart skipped a beat, instinctively pulled out the Myriad Souls Banner, summoned Murong Tian's soul, and asked, "Murong Tian, do you know Yu Kun Divine Monarch?"

Murong Tian was just summoned and still confused; but hearing Chang'sheng's question, his eyes widened in shock: "You... how do you know?"

"Yu Kun Divine Monarch's cave mansion has been discovered, and now tons of Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Righteous and Evil Dao are rushing over!"

Chang'sheng replied.

"This..."

Murong Tian frowned right away. He originally planned to take Chang'sheng to Yu Kun Divine Monarch's cave mansion in exchange for a chance to meet Ji Ruyan. Now that the cave mansion is found, doesn't he lose his bargaining chip?

Then—

Suddenly, a thick pillar of white light shot up from the east!

It was clearly visible for ten thousand miles around!

At the same time, heaven and earth shook, as if a giant beast was rolling in the depths below!

"Huh? That's... the location of Yu Kun Divine Monarch's cave mansion!"

Murong Tian stared at that light column, eyes full of shock, and said to Chang'sheng, "Senior, now that you've reached Foundation Establishment, why not go and seek a Golden Core opportunity? I do know a little about the arrays outside that cave mansion!"

"Just hope Senior will let me see Ji Ruyan, since I helped out!"

Right now, Murong Tian was starting to get anxious: if the Golden Core cave mansion opportunities are snatched away, he's got no leverage with Chang'sheng anymore.

"Yu Kun Divine Monarch's Golden Core cave mansion—so many cultivators are going. If we go now, we'll be left with nothing but scraps. I'd rather head to Giant Whale City and honestly work on my cultivation!"

Chang'sheng looked at the massive light pillar, shook his head.

With the simplification panel, his top priority is finding more cultivation techniques to simplify and fuse, and refining Yuan Condensing Pills—that's the solid path forward.

Heading over there will definitely mean conflict with others.

"As for meeting Ji Ruyan, I'll wait until I'm strong enough to surpass her—then we'll see what you've done to help."

Chang'sheng stared at Murong Tian, voice steady.

"Yes... Senior."

Murong Tian nodded and dove back into the Myriad Souls Banner.

Chang'sheng thought for a moment, cut a few bundles of grass, tossed them into his storage bag, and headed back to grind more experience.
