I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm-Chapter 53: Chaos

"How is his casting speed so fast?"

Immediately, such a doubt arose in Qian Xiaoyue’s heart.

Previously, when they both cast defense techniques, her magic had just begun to condense, while he had already cast two spells.

And now? Similarly, in casting spells, her Driving Technique had just been activated, and she was about to unleash the Dharma Flying Knife to cause havoc, when Zhou Changwang had already cast three Geng Metal Fingers in succession, directly killing these three people?

Isn’t this speed a bit too fast?

Wait!

Instant cast?

Are his spells instantly cast?

Qian Xiaoyue hesitated a bit.

When casting, she had been staring at the opponent and really hadn’t noticed Zhou Changwang’s movements.

But with this fast casting speed, even if it’s not instant, it’s very brief.

When did his strength progress so quickly?

Zhou Changwang naturally didn’t know what Qian Xiaoyue was thinking at the moment. After slaying the three people, he didn’t hesitate at all and immediately leaped forward to search each of their bodies.

Besides three small bags specially meant for storing essential items like Spirit Stones, the group also had several burlap sacks that had just been looted from Qian Xiaoyue’s home. Of course, Zhou Changwang wouldn’t take them; he tossed them all to Qian Xiaoyue.

Qian Xiaoyue didn’t stand on ceremony and collected all these items.

However, her home had just been ransacked and was in disarray, so she temporarily hid them at Zhou Changwang’s place.

"What should we do next? Stay hidden here, or..."

Qian Xiaoyue was suggesting.

When she saw a group of people rushing along the street.

They were extremely fast, clearly using the Light Body Talisman, sprinting while voices echoed.

"Let’s move quickly.

The outskirts are small fry; the real deal is in the Inner City."

"Follow Brother Qiang, and you won’t lose."

"It’s a pity this happened so suddenly. Otherwise, if we joined forces with Brother Yong and the others, we might have hit it big..."

...

Zhou Changwang pulled Qian Xiaoyue into the room, watched the group only glance at the bodies on the ground, and, without pausing, quickly disappear.

Their voices seemed to point in a specific direction.

In a house not far from Zhou Changwang, a cultivator suddenly opened the door and was about to follow in their direction.

"My husband, don’t go, it’s too dangerous..."

But right on his heels, a woman grabbed the man, desperately trying to persuade him.

"Let go, this is an opportunity for me, perhaps my only chance. I don’t want to live a mediocre life forever. The Inner City is my only chance now."

With that, the man shook off the woman and left in big strides.

Zhou Changwang watched this unfold and couldn’t help but feel a bit tempted.

It’s well known that the Inner City is full of treasures. Not to mention others, even just the shops are a massive fortune; if he could take over one or two, it would be enough to make someone incredibly wealthy.

Converted into Spirit Stones, it would probably be enough for one or two people to go from nothing to reaching the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

It’s no wonder so many people are eager to try.

If he’s lucky, there’s no reason he can’t gain something... Those three Geng Metal Fingers earlier had given him boundless confidence.

Howl!

Just then, the Little Spirit Dog let out a low growl.

It had long been frightened by the endless booms and, especially, the occasional overwhelming Spiritual Pressure, which left it trembling in fear. It took courage only now to approach Zhou Changwang.

"Almost lost it."

Zhou Changwang was jolted awake by the growl, showing a hint of regret.

The dangers of the Inner City are evident, with that barrage of spells and attacks, just one landing on him would be too much to withstand.

If he really went, it would be certain death.

"I didn’t expect even Brother Mu would be so impulsive."

Qian Xiaoyue sighed at the scene.

Unlike Zhou Changwang, who only came in and out deeply, she was well-acquainted with the neighbors and naturally knew it was a couple of loose cultivators. They even had a seven-year-old child. The man was surnamed Mu and was a Qi Refining Fifth Layer cultivator, always diligent and honest.

He was very respectful and protective of his wife, who was only at the Qi Refining Second Layer. She didn’t expect, at this critical moment, that he would disregard the safety of his wife and son and rush into the unknown danger...

Zhou Changwang remained silent.

At this moment, he couldn’t afford to care about others’ lives.

Many people were scurrying about.

Occasionally, Spirit Talismans flew by.

Among them were Martial Artists openly hunting cultivators and Middle-Tier Cultivators wielding Magical Artifacts, wantonly slaughtering Low-Tier Cultivators to seize treasures...

"This won’t do; we have to leave!"

Zhou Changwang knew well that staying here would undoubtedly be dangerous, and he couldn’t just wait to die.

"Where to?"

Qian Xiaoyue asked immediately.

"Out of the city; only the wild is safe at this time."

Zhou Changwang whispered urgently, but he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he circulated his Spiritual Power to quickly conjure rune structures.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Soon, the magic took shape.

Derivation Technique +1

A special spiritual light gathered suddenly and dispersed silently.

Immediately, Zhou Changwang felt a faint red glow around them, but only the southeast direction was white.

Red light indicates danger.

And white light indicates safety.

Although not absolutely accurate, it was better than blindly stumbling around.

"Let’s go!"

He whispered urgently, then picked up the Little Spirit Dog and quickly headed in the direction of the white light.

Qian Xiaoyue hurried after him.

Half an incense stick later, the magic lost its effect, and Zhou Changwang immediately cast again. Using the guiding effect of the Derivation Technique, he quickly navigated through various alleys.

Along the way, they certainly encountered many people.

But with the help of the Derivation Technique, he had successfully avoided powerful, more intimidating individuals and potentially dangerous areas.

At least, along the way, he hadn’t encountered any mid-stage cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.

So, the journey was smooth.

The duo soon exited the Marketplace.

Compared to the bright Marketplace, the wild was not only pitch-black but also particularly quiet, unnervingly so.

Many people who ran here with similar thoughts stopped in their tracks due to the apparent darkness that seemed to engulf them.

But Zhou Changwang pressed on without pause.

The Marketplace exit was too close to the Marketplace.

He couldn’t guarantee safety.

Only by venturing further into the wild. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Fortunately, he had the Derivation Technique to guide him. Whenever even a bit of red glow appeared, he changed direction without hesitation, even if it meant taking a long detour, avoiding any red glow.

Following closely behind, Qian Xiaoyue was filled with doubt.

Sometimes, there was obviously a shorter path that could save a significant amount of time, yet Zhou Changwang favored detours.

However, being naturally timid, she dared not disagree, so she just followed quickly.
