The injuries of the Blood Centipede Gu gradually improved.
He resumed low-key cultivation for several days, feeling that after killing Xu Ning, it might be trouble if the Zhu Family were to go looking for him.
Despite having everything arranged with Boss Hu and the removal of anyone who had seen Xu Ning, for safety’s sake, he changed his dwelling place, no longer living in the inn.
What he did was spend some Spirit Stones to temporarily settle down in a secluded shop within the city which the cultivator Tugou had found for him.
In the shop, he brought out the spoils of war he had sorted out and recategorized them.
After killing Xu Ning, he obtained a Storage Bag with a capacity of up to eight zhang square meters (approximately 240 square meters).
...
The Storage Bag alone was worth at least three medium-grade Spirit Stones.
Inside the Storage Bag, there were eleven medium-grade Spirit Stones and over a hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones.
A medium-grade Spirit Stone was equivalent to a hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones.
This was a massive fortune, which was Xu Ning’s savings over many years.
Chen Dengming finally understood why Xu Ning came to Jingxiu Workshop alone, without any subordinates.
The state of Xu Ning suggested that he was likely preparing to flee and escape from the Thousands of Miles Frontier.
As he said before his death, it was likely that a war was imminent in the Thousands of Miles Frontier.
Besides Spirit Stones, there was a stack of Talismans and Charms in the Storage Bag, ranging from rank one, level two Ice Arrow Skill to rank one, level three Vajra Shield Skill, worth probably between dozens of lower-grade Spirit Stones.
Apart from that, there were ten bottles of Qi Boosting Elixir which could increase the speed of Spiritual Energy condensation and three bottles of Yuan Nourishing Pills which could quickly heal wounds, roughly worth around two medium-grade Spirit Stones.
Finally, he gained a pair of middle-grade Magic Artifacts Wuling Snatch, a middle-grade Magic Artifacts Moon Flying Ax, a middle-grade Magic Artifacts Shadow Nail, a high-grade Magic Artifact Light Reflecting Mirror, and a damaged high-grade Robe from Xu Ning.
All these Magic Artifacts were even more valuable than the many Spirit Crystals Xu Ning carried with him.
In particular, the high-tier Magic Artifact Light Reflecting Mirror, which could reflect or eliminate most of the enemy’s Daoism during combat, was worth at least ten medium-grade Spirit Stones.
At this point, Chen Dengming once again realized the profound meaning behind the phrase ‘murder and arson bring wealth.’
However, such a thing, after all, was too dangerous.
Like this time, Xu Ning’s hidden Qi Cultivation seventh rank nearly made him capsize.
If Xu Ning was not pushing step by step and stayed in the gathering place, maintaining a live and let live attitude, he would not take the risk.
Slowly prolonging his life and cultivating to the Foundation Establishment Stage was not a bad thing, was it?
‘Being brave and fierce, coveting others’ opportunities, it is wrong.
Xu Ning has put in so many years of bitter cultivation, and it seems it was all to benefit me…’ Chen Dengming stored most of the items, and then took out the middle-ranked Magic Artifact Moon Flying Ax and two bottles of Qi Boosting Elixir from them and put them in his emptied Storage Bag.
He had enough Magic Artifacts and Elixir Pills.
No matter how many middle-grade Magic Artifacts there were, without enough Spiritual Energy, he could not use them all at the same time.
Therefore, he planned to take this water-related Magic Artifact Moon Flying Ax and two bottles of Elixir Pills, ask Boss Hu to help send them to Luo family to give to Xu Wei, as a token of appreciation for her affection and also as a farewell gift.
He didn’t completely believe Xu Ning’s final warning, but he didn’t completely doubt it either.
After all, as the saying goes, the dying words are often true.
Moreover, judging from Xu Ning’s preparation to abscond, perhaps some significant event was indeed about to happen in the Thousands of Miles Frontier.
In fact, if you think about it, the Zhu Family had taken back the gathering place with great difficulty and had swallowed various resource points, including the secret copper mine area.
They would not be willing to spit it out because of the remarriage between the Luo and Luo Families.
Not wanting to spit out what was swallowed meant fighting was inevitable.
However, the Zhu Family’s power alone may not necessarily be a match for the allied forces of the Luo and Luo Families.
Although the Luo Family was not a Cultivation Family of the Southern Region, they could quietly send experts from their family to aid the cause, and also provide various resources to assist.
Knowing that they couldn’t defeat the Luo Family, the Zhu Family would inevitably contact other forces in secret, promising benefits to jointly deal with the Luo Family.
Among the Thousands of Miles Frontier, the bear, Hu, Lin families, or even the so-called seclusionist, the Yin Ghost Sect, might all be potential collaborators for the Zhu Family.
Xu Ning must have heard something and panicked, hence he decided to leave the Thousands of Miles Frontier!
‘At present, it’s just speculation, I shouldn’t panic.
If I act rashly before I am fully prepared, it will only mess things up.’

Chen Dengming lit up a stick of calming incense.
He activated the Soul Snatching Array, summoned Mini Array Spirit to dance, continued to cultivate with all his might, and accumulated for the leap to Qi Cultivation sixth rank.
He planned to cultivate to breakthrough to Qi Cultivation sixth rank, then take the Daoism obtained from Boss Hu and proceed to leave the frontier.
Now, the Blood Centipede Gu’s injuries had not even healed, let alone the breakthrough in cultivation.
Without proper preparations, it was crucial not to act rashly.
There’s no need to rush and rush, remember the old saying: more haste, less speed.
…
The wind was as gentle as lard, and the flowers were as fiery as fire.
The spring days slipped away in the midst of the peach blossoms blooming and withering, and soon more than ten days passed.
At the Qi River, the turbulent river branch.
Chen Dengming performed the Diamond Vajra Zen Dharma, carrying the Ice Spirit Sword, strolling in the rapids.
Regardless of the turbulent waters or sharp rocks rubbing against his body, it could not shake his strong and rugged body covered with scars from swords and knives.
In recent times, the small Demonic Beasts in the wild seemed to have become wiser, no longer running about recklessly, leaving him without training targets, so he had to think about other ways to train.
At this moment, practicing the Diamond Vajra Zen Dharma in the river was also a way to use the constant collisions of the river water and sharp rocks on the body.
In this interaction with nature, he tried to find the fusion point between man and nature, capturing that fleeting accord between martial arts and immortal ways.
