But that night, the long-stagnant Health Cultivation Method broke through again, completely beyond Liang Sheng’s expectations. Even though his realm hadn’t broken through, his progress had advanced another level.
It was truly an inexplicable surprise.
Could this be the so-called sudden enlightenment of good fortune?

Afterward, Liang Sheng’s days were peaceful once more, cultivating, talisman drawing, refining pills, and practicing curse imprinting techniques. As for refining weapons, he no longer had any refining materials.
However, Liang Sheng did not force the issue. While out playing, he came across a wood carving shop and had a flash of inspiration.
Although he couldn’t refine weapons, he could practice the skills used in refining weapons, carving and sculpting, which would not be a waste of time.
He then bought many tree roots of various shapes. Hearing that he intended to use them for carving, the shopkeeper couldn’t help but remind him that these tree roots were too oddly shaped for carving. However, Liang Sheng paid no attention to the warning, and the shopkeeper didn’t press the matter, as he had already given his advice, and the customer couldn’t blame him later on.
In the following days, Liang Sheng began carving wood in his spare time from cultivation. At first, his carving was fast and steady, as it was straightforward for someone at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Level. However, after some time, his progress seemed to stall. One day, he had a sudden idea and started carving without using any spiritual power, as if he were an ordinary person with no cultivation.
At that time, Liang Sheng couldn’t even carve out a rough shape in one day, but he couldn’t help but laugh out loud, as if he had found the right path.
He then destroyed all the wood carvings he had made previously and started over with a serious and focused effort to carve new ones.
Under the carving knife, sixty years passed in the blink of an eye, and the once youthful man had become a white-haired old man.
Twenty-six years ago, Emperor Danzong abdicated, and Shenzong took the throne. Unchanged was the strength of the Great Zhou, and the people couldn’t help but sigh that the Great Zhou Dynasty was destined to continue. Every generation of Zhou rulers was not only talented and resourceful but also knew when to retire, so there was no such thing as an old and incompetent ruler. Thus, the people of Great Zhou deeply acknowledged the Zhou Imperial Family’s legitimacy and took pride in being citizens of the empire.
Liang Sheng had reached the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level 28 years into Emperor Danzong’s reign. Because his Qi Refining Pills were running out, Liang Sheng spent two years and a significant amount of money and energy hiring people to cultivate spiritual grass in the uninhabited wilderness. He also purchased more spiritual grass to restore his supply of Qi Refining Pills gradually.
Thanks to his 100% success rate in refining Qi pills, he was able to squander these pills at his discretion. As for the other pill formulas left by the Hua Tian Sect manager, some of the herbs were not suitable for the mortal world, so only a few more formulas could be practiced.
After sixty years, Liang Sheng finally reached the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level.
Name: Liang Sheng
Age: 487
Talent: Innocent Foolishness (Top grade)
Techniques: Upper Pure Immortal Scripture (Ninth Layer), Twenty Life-Nurturing Techniques (Eighteenth Layer), Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique (Curse)
Realm: Qi Cultivation Ninth Level (73%)
Lifespan: 16346
As for the spirit stones in his storage bag, Liang Sheng had consumed most of them. If not for his determination to use mid-grade spirit stones for cultivation, his progress would not have been so rapid.
Nonetheless, his progress was worth celebrating. As long as he didn’t lose his mind, he could safely remain in the mortal world until the heavens crumbled and the earth fell apart.
Although being at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level was still considered exceptional in the immortal cultivation market, why take risks in the Cultivation World when one can cultivate in the mortal world?
It was unknown whether he could reach Foundation Establishment before his 500th birthday, as people from his past life’s Blue Star Hua Xia were inexplicably fond of whole numbers.
Today, Liang Sheng was in a good mood, so he went to the forest at the foot of the original Jinshan Temple ruins and began carving wood. The children playing by the river saw this and curiously squatted beside him, exclaiming in awe.
Over the years, he had accumulated countless wood carvings, which were piled up in his mansion. Under such circumstances, he’d taken to leaving the carvings at the Jinshan Temple ruins, where the presence of people was rare, and no one would discover them.
Since he didn’t have any refining materials, he hadn’t actually crafted any magical weapons, so he didn’t know how much his weapon refining skills had improved. But his hands were now countless times steadier than before.
At this moment, Liang Sheng looked like an ordinary mortal, carving without any spiritual power and carefully wielding the knife. Dust and debris flew about as the children watched transfixed.
After Liang Sheng finished carving, he gently blew on the wood, revealing a lifelike little rabbit. The children’s eyes lit up instantly.
“This is for you.”
The children were overjoyed, thanking him profusely and playing with the rabbit wood carving, gradually moving further away from Liang Sheng.
Liang Sheng watched them, his mouth involuntarily lifting into a smile, and then he looked up at the Jinshan Temple ruins with a profound gaze.
Are there such gifted talents among them?
Zhou Qianming was a descendant of the Zhou Royal Family from the capital. Tired of the dull palace life, he decided to travel south, refusing the hospitality of officials in Jinzhou City and going on his way accompanied only by his guards and scribe.
When he arrived at this forest today, he felt an unexpected surge of excitement, a feeling he had never experienced before.
A great fortune omen!
This feeling was unprecedented!
The guards on the side didn’t understand why Zhou Qianming was so excited, as the nearby scenery was relatively ordinary. However, seeing the prince’s first-ever excitement on this journey made them happy as well..
