"Oh?" Zhang Panpan, hearing this, took the jade slip, looked into it with her divine sense, and showed a look of surprise. "Qin Wang, I seem to have one of these. It's been in my storage bag for over ten years. Here, take it!"
With that, Zhang Panpan reached into her storage bag, pulled out an ancient sheepskin scroll, and it floated in front of Qin Wang. She guessed that Qin Wang might have other pieces of the scroll.
"Thank you, Senior Zhang!" Qin Wang's heart burned with excitement as he saw the ancient sheepskin scroll. He immediately cupped his hands towards Zhang Panpan.
"Qin Wang, I need to go to the Great Cang Country now. We part ways here. I owe you a favor." Zhang Panpan looked deeply at Qin Wang and cupped her hands in farewell.
At this moment, she just wanted to rush to the Great Cang Country as soon as possible. A moment's hesitation back then had resulted in a huge miss. Unexpectedly, when she received news of him again, they were already separated by life and death.
The "Introduction to Alchemy" brought by Qin Wang was undoubtedly written by Jiang Fan. Back then, she had also browsed through it and remembered Jiang Fan's handwriting clearly.
"In a way, Qing Yao Shangren was kind to me. By fulfilling his last wish, I've also resolved a major matter for myself. Senior, follow the map in my jade slip."
Qin Wang nodded. He didn't mention Zhao Yulong, but he thought that when Zhang Panpan returned from Jiang Fan's cave, it would be Zhao Yulong's end.
"Junior Sister Wan, I need to go to the Great Cang Country. I won't be able to return to the sect with you." Zhang Panpan apologized to Wan Miao.
"Senior Sister Zhang, the journey is long and treacherous. Please be careful along the way!" Wan Miao thought for a moment and then spoke seriously.
She still had to return to the sect with her fellow disciples, so she had no time to accompany Senior Sister Zhang to the Great Cang.
"Mm!" Zhang Panpan nodded.
"Finally, I have fulfilled Qing Yao Shangren's last wish. I should return to practice the Soul-Piercing Drill and keep an eye on the Chu family's movements before leaving Wanling Market."
Watching the figures of Zhang Panpan and Wan Miao disappear into the sky, Qin Wang made up his mind. With the ancient sheepskin scroll in hand, he felt very satisfied.
This ancient sheepskin scroll was a map to the treasure trove of the ancient Dan Wang Sect, which could contain opportunities for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. Although Qin Wang was currently only at the Foundation Establishment stage, securing this opportunity for the future was crucial.
According to the intelligence, the Zhao family in the Southern Region might have information on other pieces of the sheepskin scroll. Qin Wang's next steps were to obtain Foundation Establishment resources and opportunities for advancing to the Golden Core stage.
The intelligence provided:
1) There are currently four pieces of the ancient sheepskin scroll. The Zhao family in the Southern Region might have information on other pieces.
2) There are currently seven pieces of the Barbarian God Shield. The Sima family in the Southern Region might have information on the shield pieces.
3) There are currently seven Qingyou small swords; nine can form a sword array. The Sima family in the Southern Region might have information on these swords.
4) There are six mysterious fragments. The Qixian Dynasty might have information on these fragments.
5) There is a damaged flying ship spirit treasure in the Chilong Abyss of the Dayan Dynasty. It can be restored to its former power if reforged.
6) There is a Golden Core stage cultivator's cave in the Luoxia Mountains of the Tianchu Dynasty.
7) The Sima family in the Southern Region might have information on the Lock Spirit Concealment Golden Core volume.
"Currently, I have three to four hundred thousand spirit stones in my storage bag, along with many other resources. I'll avoid Chu Yunxiao's pursuit for now and find a place to hide and practice. Later, I'll head to the Sima family."
Qin Wang reviewed the intelligence on his panel and made up his mind. The Sima family had information on the Lock Spirit Concealment Golden Core volume, the Barbarian God Shield, and the Qingyou small swords. Going to the Sima family would allow him to seek all three treasures simultaneously.
Qin Wang returned to his shack, organized his belongings, and began observing the market's news. Zhang Fucheng had returned to Wanling Market and Qin Wang had him hide in a nearby shack, awaiting further instructions.
Meanwhile, Qin Wang took out the spirit herbs and grasses he had bought, including the Illusory God Grass, and prepared them according to the method for the Soul-Piercing Drill. After making the decoction, he drank it and began practicing the Soul-Piercing Drill.
In the early morning:
[Daily Intelligence Update!]
[Today's Intelligence:]
1) You teleported out of the Wanling Blessed Land yesterday and encountered a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Tianchu Dynasty, Chu Chuyang. According to intelligence, the Tianchu Dynasty lost the beloved great-grandson of Patriarch Chu Yunxiao and a divine sense avatar. Chu Yunxiao is furious. Tianchu Emperor Chu Wuyaz has dispatched three Golden Core cultivators to hunt down the culprit. All Foundation Establishment cultivators exiting the Wanling Blessed Land are suspects.
2) Chu Chuyang planted a divine sense mark on you yesterday. He plans to secretly track and investigate every marked cultivator. Anyone in a hurry to leave the market after exiting the Wanling Blessed Land will be captured and soul-searched by the Tianchu Dynasty's Golden Core cultivators.
3) Chu Chuyang is at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, practicing the Tianyuan Transformation Technique. He is extremely lethal and has killed fifteen Foundation Establishment cultivators since reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.
4) Fulfilling Qing Yao Shangren's last wish will bring you great benefits in the future due to the positive karma you have earned.
5) You helped Qing Yao Shangren deliver a message yesterday. Zhang Panpan has altered her course to return to Lingyao Sect. She plans to take Zhao Yulong to Jiang Fan's cave to honor his spirit.
6) You met Wan Miao from Lingyao Sect yesterday. According to intelligence, Li Qiye from Lingyao Sect obtained his fated immortal treasure, the "Treasure Basin," in the Wanling Lake. Associating with Li Qiye could increase your luck.
7) You practiced the Soul-Piercing Drill yesterday. According to intelligence, the most powerful rogue cultivator, Xianjiu, was invincible in his generation due to the Soul-Piercing Drill.
8) You touched the Yin-Yang Illusion Array disc yesterday. The three-star array master Nangong Luo, who created it, has set up an array in the Tianqi Mountains of the Southern Region as his final resting place and left his legacy there.
9) You used the treasure bowl to refine pills from Yan Wushuang's storage bag yesterday. The bronze bowl is cursed by the Wu clan. The Wu clan's Heavenly Maiden, Jiuzi, is about to leave the clan and journey through the Nine Regions.
10) You checked the Five Elements Divine Light Jar yesterday. According to intelligence, Situ Chengjian, who has a map to the Taiyi Heavy Water's location, was severely injured in a battle. He is now hiding three miles east of your shack.
"Chu Chuyang is at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage?"
"The Golden Core cultivators of the Tianchu Dynasty are conducting soul searches?"
Qin Wang frowned as he read the first three pieces of intelligence. He felt a chill in his heart and thought, "It seems I need to stay hidden here for a while."
Logically, the one who killed the Eighteenth Prince Chu Ping would naturally want to escape. With the divine sense mark on him removed, hiding in the shack seemed safer.
If he tried to leave and got caught by the Tianchu Dynasty cultivators, the outcome would be unimaginable!
"Fulfilling Qing Yao Shangren's last wish will bring me great benefits due to the positive karma?"
Qin Wang was stunned as he read the fourth piece of intelligence.
