Giant Whale City.

A few hundred miles in radius, it's the closest Immortal City to Yanyue Immortal Sect.

For thousands of miles all around, small sect disciples and loose cultivators come here to exchange what they have and need.

Giant Whale City is run jointly by five families: the Yu Family, Li Family, Zhang Family, Liao Family, and Situ Family. Each family has a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment sitting in town.

Inside Giant Whale City.

At the entrance of the Spirit Pill Pavilion.

Stood a medium-built man, short-bearded and slender, a middle-aged Confucian cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

This man was Lin Chang'sheng, who had just used the Bone Transformation Technique.

Right now.

He was Alchemist Zhang Han, preparing to buy some Yuan Condensing Pills to raise his cultivation experience points, hoping to advance to Foundation Establishment Second Layer soon.

"Daoist Qin, once we buy the pills, let's go see what all the fuss is about!"

"I was thinking the same thing. They say that Yu Kun Divine Monarch's Divine Sense is unmatched. Back then, as a loose cultivator, he was called the strongest Golden Core! If only we could get our hands on his Divine Sense cultivation technique!"

Just then, Lin Chang'sheng overheard the two talking nearby.

"Yu Kun Divine Monarch mastered the Refining God Technique back in the day? Such powerful Divine Sense?"

"If I could get that Divine Sense technique, wouldn't that be..."

"Everyone wants a chance like that, but showing up early doesn't guarantee you'll get it!"

Lin Chang'sheng immediately decided to buy some Yuan Condensing Pills and a cultivation technique first, then head to Yu Kun Divine Monarch's cave mansion.

Based on what Lin Chang'sheng knew—

Having a powerful Divine Sense doesn't just give an edge in combat, it's a huge benefit when breaking through to new realms too!

Yu Kun Divine Monarch became the top Golden Core three hundred years ago, and it was largely thanks to his formidable Divine Sense!

The Spirit Pill Pavilion was bustling with business, cultivators coming and going, and more than a dozen beautiful young female pill assistants working the hall.

"Greetings, Senior. May I ask what kind of pill you're looking for?"

Lin Chang'sheng walked into the Spirit Pill Pavilion. A pill assistant at Qi Refining Fourth Layer, with a curvy figure like a peach, stepped up and asked enthusiastically.

"I'd like to buy some Yuan Condensing Pills."

Lin Chang'sheng replied in a deep voice.

"Of course. Our Yuan Condensing Pills are the best quality in Giant Whale City. Thirty-two spirit stones apiece. How many would you like?"

The pill assistant asked warmly.

"Give me twenty for now."

Lin Chang'sheng took out a storage bag and handed it over, packed with 640 spirit stones.

For now, he didn't have the pill formula for the Yuan Condensing Pills, so he could only buy pills to boost his experience points.

After all, progress in cultivation shouldn't stall.

"Certainly! Please hold on a moment."

The pill assistant nodded, took the storage bag, and went to fetch the Yuan Condensing Pills. Soon, she brought back four porcelain bottles and set them in front of Lin Chang'sheng, saying, "Senior, each bottle contains five pills. Please check."

"Mm."

Lin Chang'sheng counted; exactly twenty pills.

Just then, Lin Chang'sheng sensed someone watching him. He turned and saw a thin, middle-aged man with the cultivation of Qi Refining Ninth Layer Peak. When the man saw Lin Chang'sheng notice him, he immediately looked away and pretended to be shopping for pills at the counter.

Lin Chang'sheng gave the thin middle-aged man a cold glance, grabbed the pills and his empty storage bag from the assistant, and headed out the door.

"Greed! It's in human nature!"

Walking down the street, Lin Chang'sheng had already sensed that the thin middle-aged man was trailing him from afar, and couldn't help but sneer to himself.

That guy thinks Lin Chang'sheng is just a Qi Refining Ninth Layer Peak cultivator. Little does he know he's tailing a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Spirit Cultivation Inn.

Room 3.

Lin Chang'sheng sat inside with a bundle of grass on the table. He held a sickle in his left hand, cutting the grass.

Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique experience +1!

Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique experience +1!

......

Red notifications kept popping up on his panel.

"Really persistent—he chased me all the way to the inn!"

Lin Chang'sheng sensed the thin man turn and leave after seeing him check into the Spirit Cultivation Inn. Lin Chang'sheng got up and quietly followed the man out.

If that guy's got his sights set on me, it's time to take the initiative and rob him first!

Perfect—he just paid for all those Yuan Condensing Pills I bought.
