Chapter 29 Blessed Land of Cultivation

An elderly woman wearing a loose nightgown stood in front of the door, frowning as she looked at Wang Jixuan.

Wang Jixuan directly sensed the other party’s hostility… or rather, a kind of disdain.

“Your surname is Zhou?” the old woman, Kong Lianmei, asked, frowning.

“Yes, please come in and have a seat.”

Wang Jixuan stood up and made way for him.

“Hmm,” Kong Lianmei nodded, and closed the door behind her as she entered. “Keep your voice down, don’t disturb the children. My intuition tells me you’re a bit of a nuisance. I’ve seen too many young people like this.”

Wang Jixuan pondered for a few moments, unsure how to answer.

Grandma Kong sat down on the edge of the bed and stared at Wang Jixuan’s disguised face with her calm and deep old eyes.

“Have you heard of Zhou Meiying?” she asked.

“without.”

“She is a high-ranking official, and everyone in the fortress with the surname Zhou should know her.”

Wang Jixuan chuckled inwardly.

The old woman was testing him.

Sixty-nine years old is still too young compared to over one hundred and twenty.

“I don’t know about these things,” Master Wang said, his eyes showing just the right amount of unease and restraint. “If I have the chance to see my uncle again, I can ask him for you.”

Why ask that? I hate that guy.

Grandma Kong snorted, frowning as she pondered something, seemingly trying to figure out how to get rid of the young man.

She suddenly asked, “Are you a lolicon?”

“Um?”

“Do you ever have any perverted fantasies about the girls here?”

Grandma Kong narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at Wang Jixuan’s face.

She now held a pistol in her right hand, its silver barrel gleaming from being polished.

Wang Jixuan raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

The landlady muttered and cursed, “Don’t think I don’t know where that Xiaohua runs her shop! The perverted area of ​​Happy City! It’s full of perverts! The most twisted and darkest desires of human civilization are there! You’ve been in there, haven’t you? You’ve been corrupted! You little rascal!”

“No, no, no, I actually… don’t like the women here.”

The landlady was furious: “Oh my God! I have several boys here! This is even worse! Are you one of those disgusting religious leaders from the Golden Age?!”

“I really don’t have any quirks like that! Absolutely not! What I like is… first and foremost, an ethereal quality, wearing long dresses, having long hair, speaking politely, and having a gentle and graceful personality. Yes, graceful, that kind of quality is very important.”

Wang Jixuan said in a very serious tone:

“I swear on the honor of my former teacher, I will never seek any spiritual path or partner here!”

The landlady stared intently into Wang Jixuan’s eyes, then slowly nodded, put the pistol back into her nightgown pocket, and muttered to herself:

“Very good, young man, your eyes tell me you are not lying.”

“You have temporarily passed my test of your character. I will continue to observe you. Don’t think that killing me will solve everything. I have many children who are in various gangs in the lower city!”

“However, I must remind you that such a gentle and refined quality is rarely seen in the fortress.”

“You can stay here now. Tomorrow I’ll arrange some odd jobs for you so you can support yourself.”

Wang Jixuan said, “Can I start work a few days later? I still have some Joy Coins that my uncle sent me, which I can use to pay you rent. I want to rest for a while; the previous wandering has left me feeling very tired.”

“That won’t do, everyone has to work, you can’t…”

Grandma Kong frowned as she looked at the twelve Happy Coins that had appeared in front of her.

“It’s not impossible.”

She grabbed the round metal objects and muttered, “This will only let you stay here for three months! After three months you’ll have to go out and work! And listen carefully, if you’re going to work for those gangsters and harm people, you’ll have to move out of here after three months!”

“Okay, thank you. It won’t take that long. I’m very interested in planting.”

Wang Jixuan was in a very good mood.

Talking to this old man was unexpectedly interesting to him.

However, two minutes later.

“Here you go! Use it sparingly! I’ll only give you one roll a week at most!”

A soft, yellowed roll of recycled toilet paper was tossed into Wang Jixuan’s arms. The old woman outside the door muttered, “You better behave yourself,” and slowly walked away.

Wang Jixuan stared at the roll of paper, stunned for a moment, not yet realizing what it meant, when Xiao Yezi’s suppressed laughter echoed down the corridor.

Several dark lines appeared on his forehead.

Forget it, let’s cultivate and experience the quality of the spiritual energy here.

Wang Jixuan got up and locked the door from the inside, then covered the gap in the door with a ‘TER’ poster.

Wang Jixuan had seen these three letters many times in Mu Liang’s memory.

With the five hearts facing the sky and the inner body circulating the energy, strands of spiritual energy gather.

‘That venerable one, the spiritual energy here may seem only slightly more abundant and purer, but the cultivation speed is nearly 40% faster than on the thirteenth level!’

‘How come I didn’t notice this place before! I’ve definitely been to the edge of the Wanlijin gang’s territory before.’

“I’m determined to stay here!”

‘If Yezi doesn’t keep asking me to do housework.’

Wang Jixuan thought with some concern.

…

Two relatively peaceful weeks passed in a flash.

On the border between the Blackfire Gang and the Wanlijin Gang, in an abandoned shack made from a metal box.

Wang Jixuan sat in the darkness, skillfully pressing the small square box in front of him—a text exchange.

This was his third interaction with Zhou Zhengde since arriving at Wanlijin Gang’s territory.

【02: Found the entrance to the tunnel, behind the bookshelf in the study. The entrance was covered in irregular dust, so I didn’t dare go in directly.】

He waited for a while, about twenty seconds.

【01: Is the surveillance system installed?】

【02: It’s installed. The secret room and tunnel entrance that were discovered earlier have both been installed. The day before yesterday, I scouted the tunnel from above along its extension and can confirm that it leads directly to the Blackfire Gang’s heartland, connecting several of the gang’s key areas.】

【01: An astonishing discovery! This could very well be an escape route for the Blackfire Gang’s higher-ups! Where exactly did that transvestite uncle take you?】

【02: His adoptive mother’s family has ties to the Black Fire Gang; it’s highly likely that this old woman has a son who holds a high-ranking position within the gang. This was an unexpected discovery.】

【01: Great! I’ll send men to ambush them there! We must wipe them all out! Especially that wicked Wenhesen!】

【02: Don’t come any closer, you’ll bother me. I quite like it here.】

Wang Jixuan glanced at the astonishingly amplified energy within his body.

He had originally estimated that it would take him at least three months to reach the state of abundant energy, but now…

Just one more month!

If we can get enough Blade Beast blood and refine it to extract its spiritual energy, it might take half a month!

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Because of the increased efficiency in his cultivation, he can now perfectly balance fighting the Black Fire Gang and cultivating.

【01: Have you been reading lately?】

【02: I finished reading “Applications of Fortress Engineering” and “Fortress Pipeline Laying” these past few days, and am currently reading “Applications of Modern Physics” and “Weapons That Make Blade Beasts Fear”.】

【01: I didn’t have a chance to ask you last time, where did you find these books?】

【02: In my landlord’s study, on the bookshelf next to the tunnel entrance, my landlord lets me read whatever I want. She always says, “Reading is the ladder of human progress.”】

【01: Your landlord has serious problems; the books, the secret room, and the corridor all prove it. Do you need anything else? I recently got some individual soldier equipment from my uncle, but I can’t get single-person rocket launchers yet. Those things threaten the stability of the fortress’s internal pillars, so we can’t use them to bombard D-level psykers. What a pity.】

Wang Jixuan hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his needs.

【02: Blade Beast bones, blood, and anything else you can get your hands on related to Blade Beasts.】

【01:…】

【01: Do you want these to increase your power? Sigh, don’t tell me your power also comes from the Blade Beast.】

【02: Also? A psionicist?】

【01: Yes, it’s said that psionicists are all created using the power of Blade Beasts, but this technology is controlled by the Thirteenth Institute, and the mortality rate is very high. I should be able to get a trace amount of Blade Beast blood. Those magical papers of yours are made with Blade Beast blood, right? Sigh, I’ve still managed to establish a connection with the power of the Blade Beasts.】

Wang Jixuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

【02: For me, the power of the Blade Beasts is just a shortcut. I need to use them while also removing the impurities. I can become stronger without them.】

【01：(°°)】

【02: We’ll talk next time. The next batch of supplies will still be delivered to the usual spot on the 49th floor. I have some important business to attend to tonight.】

【01: Serious business? What?】

【02: Exorcise demons and protect the righteous path, settle karma and calm the mind. (￣︶￣)】

Wang Jixuan turned off the phone to conserve battery power.

He placed the text exchange into the metal box in front of him, quickly took off his shirt and trousers, folded them neatly, and put them inside.

He has been doing quite well under Xiao Yezi’s care for the past two weeks.

Although he has to help with some housework every day, it doesn’t take up much of his cultivation time, and he can occasionally eat some nutritious vegetables.

With the supply of nutrients and the nourishment of spiritual energy, Wang Jixuan’s new Dao body has begun to show smooth muscle lines.

Master Wang opened the wardrobe next to him.

A simple black riot control helmet, a set of black protective combat suit, a dozen pistols and submachine guns, and thirty-six concentrated high-explosive grenades the size of longan fruits were neatly arranged under the dim light of the wardrobe.

He smiled slightly and quickly changed his gear.

First, he sorted the stacks of talismans that were originally in the inner pocket of his shirt and placed them in the back pocket of this specially made combat suit. Then, he stuffed the six bone-piercing nails, which were made by combining the exoskeleton of a blade beast with some metal, into the cuff of the combat suit.

Now that he has encountered Wen Heisen, Wang Jixuan is 89% confident that he can pierce the other’s head with a single nail.

Unfortunately;

His hunting target tonight was not Wenhesen.

He selected a gun, placed the magazine, and took out twelve concentrated high-explosive grenades, putting them into his waist pouch.

With two clicks, the bullet was successfully chambered, and he put the gun into the holster tied to his belt.

Wang Jixuan took a deep breath of the polluted air, turned around and walked out of the tin shack embedded in the ground. Before leaving, he couldn’t help but glance at the exaggeratedly designed black motorcycle that Young Master Zhou had given him last time.

He was not yet able to skillfully ride this mount.

At the same time.

Inside the office of the captain of the thirteenth-floor police station.

Zhou Zhengde frowned deeply, his face solemn as he opened a drawer, put on his glasses, turned on a 3D projection screen, found the search bar, entered “Exorcise demons and defend the righteous path, settle karma and calm the mind”, and clicked the translation button.

“Cool! So that’s what cause and effect means.”

“So, after holding back for more than half a month, he started attacking the Blackfire Gang again?”

Zhou Zhengde shrugged, somewhat dismissive of the matter.

Both the anti-gang forces and the gang alliance are gathering their strength. Taking down the Blackfire Gang only requires proceeding steadily according to the timetable, and we can take action in another month.

Now Mu Liang has found another underground passage, and that suspicious old woman is guarding it. Perhaps when they close in, they will have some unexpected gains.

This is actually quite good.

Mu Liang’s insistence on personally killing a few gang members is indeed a bit…

Minor trouble, not worth mentioning, a futile risk.

“But his way of handling things is really cool, I like it.”

Captain Zhou laughed and praised.

Young Zhou Yanei had no idea how many extra hours he would have to work for this.
