157: Chapter 157: Being ambushed again

"Senior Brother…"

"Don't speak. Wait until we get back!"

Wang Bin interrupted Du Juan's question and hurried out of the shop with her.

He grabbed Du Juan, soared into the air, and sped towards his new home in West Sea City.

As a Golden Core cultivator, flying in West Sea City was no longer an issue. Even without the aid of a Magic Treasure, his Escape Speed was astonishing. In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they arrived at his new home.

Wang Bin waved a Formation Flag in his hand, and a light gate slowly appeared.

He led Du Juan quickly inside. What greeted their eyes was a spacious three-courtyard house. The central building stood tall, three stories high, while the other buildings were two stories.

"Wow! This courtyard is so big, much bigger than my house, and the Spiritual Qi is much denser too!" Du Juan exclaimed.

"That's natural. This is where a Golden Core cultivator Cultivates. It's ten acres in size.

Take this Formation Flag. I won't be in West Sea City for long; this place will be yours from now on.

I need to go into seclusion here for a while, first to convert my Cultivation Technique, then to study Spirit Refining Cultivation Technique, and also to refine that defensive Magic Treasure. After that, I'll return to White Cloud City.

Send someone to White Cloud City to tell Liu Xue and the others the news of my Core Formation success, so they don't worry at home," Wang Bin said.

Du Juan took the Formation Flag, wanting to speak but holding back, ultimately not mentioning asking Wang Bin to see his daughter first.

Wang Bin entered the tallest building in the center and found the seclusion room. The Spiritual Qi concentration in this Golden Core Cultivation room was still slightly worse than the cultivation room where he had gone into seclusion to Breakthrough to Golden Core in the Chu family.

He carefully inspected the Formation Flag, and after confirming everything was in order, he began his seclusion and Cultivation.

He first repeatedly studied the Spirit Wood Heart Sutra, Over and over again, not even skipping the Cultivation Technique notes.

It wasn't until seven days later that he could recite the Spirit Wood Heart Sutra backward and forward, and fully understood its meaning. Only then did he officially begin to Cultivate.

Time quietly passed during Wang Bin's seclusion. Three months later, he finished his Cultivation and stood up. At this point, he had reached the Golden Core First Level Peak.

Now, if he wished, he could Breakthrough to the Golden Core Second Level at any time.

This Spirit Wood Heart Sutra was indeed much stronger than the Green Wood Art. The magical power within his Physical Body had increased from over a hundred wisps to over two hundred wisps.

The Golden Core in his Dantian had also changed; faint green patterns subtly appeared on the pure golden Golden Core.

Moreover, he clearly felt that his speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi was 30% faster than before. This was also the first time he truly experienced the huge difference between Cultivation Techniques.

He couldn't help but inwardly regret that if he had known the Spirit Wood Heart Sutra was so effective, he would have converted his Cultivation Technique much earlier.

According to the description in the Spirit Wood Heart Sutra, this Cultivation Technique could also slowly improve the quality of his wood Spiritual Root.

Of course, his rapid attainment of the Golden Core First Level Peak was also due to consuming over three hundred drops of Spirit Liquid.

If these Spirit Liquid were converted into Spirit Stone, that would be sixty thousand to one hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, which was truly too luxurious.

However, this also indirectly proved that Spirit Liquid greatly assisted in improving the Cultivation speed of Golden Core cultivators.

It was just that his Divine Sense and Physical Body hadn't caught up, so there was no need to rush the Breakthrough at this time.

For the next period, Wang Bin began to refine the Spirit Armor.

Regarding the fact that a refined Magic Treasure could be stored in the Dantian, he was deeply curious but couldn't understand its principle.

However, after much consideration, he still didn't store the Spirit Armor in his Dantian but wore it directly on his Physical Body, then put on an outer Elder's robe from the Four Seas Commerce League over it.

He felt that this provided greater security. In case of a sneak attack, there would be a buffer, preventing him from losing his life directly.

Finally, it was time to Cultivate Divine Sense Cultivation Technique. He originally thought that the Green Wood Spirit Nurturing Art, being compatible with his attribute, would be relatively easy to master. However, after cultivating for a month, he couldn't even touch the threshold.

Instead, the Earth Magnetism Spirit Refining Art, which he casually practiced, became successful, which was very magical.

Perhaps this was related to him having played with magnets before and knowing their principles.

Previously, although he was a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, his Divine Sense could explore a range of two thousand meters, but when probing the ground, he could only penetrate about a hundred meters at most.

Now that he had learned the Earth Magnetism Spirit Refining Art, the depth of his underground probing could reach over five hundred meters.

This discovery also unexpectedly informed him that hundreds of meters beneath West Sea City, Formations were spread out, and the nodes of the Spiritual Vein crisscrossed. This was likely the Foundation of West Sea City.

After realizing this situation, he dared not probe casually anymore.

By the time all these matters were completed, a year had already passed.

Counting the days, it had been almost four years since he left White Cloud City and Liu Xue and the others. It was time to return.

After bidding farewell to Du Juan, Wang Bin boarded the Flying Cloud Shuttle and left West Sea City.

He should buy a better travel Magic Treasure, or get a Magic Treasure Flying Sword. The speed of sword flight was much faster than this Flying Cloud Shuttle, but for now, this would have to do.

After flying for almost a day, when they were still a few hundred miles from White Cloud City, night had completely fallen.

Although night had little effect on Wang Bin, he had been ambushed by Azure Flame Bird and a Fox Spirit at this very spot last time, so he couldn't help but feel a little wary.

He subconsciously used his Divine Sense to scan the areas below that might conceal people, such as under trees or beside rocks.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically. He kicked the Flying Cloud Shuttle hard, and his entire body shot towards the sky.

At the same time, he felt as if his back had been struck hard by a large hammer. His entire body uncontrollably plummeted towards the ground, smashing face-down heavily onto the earth.

Wang Bin immediately felt an intense pain in his back. A mouthful of fresh blood gushed out, his head buzzed, and the magical power within his Physical Body was in disarray.

At this critical moment, he endured the pain in his Meridians and fully activated the Spirit Armor on his Physical Body.

Fortunately, he had always been cautious and wore the Spirit Armor directly on his Physical Body, which blocked most of the attack. Otherwise, this blow would have pierced through his Physical Body and damaged his Dantian, which would have been the end of him.

This was the first time Wang Bin had come so close to death since his Transmigration. His inner feelings instantly transformed from initial lingering fear, nervousness, and anger into intense killing intent.

No matter who it was, if they wanted his life, they had to be prepared to pay the price!

"Still not dead? Caw caw!"

"If not dead, then severely injured! Oh! Turns out it's a Medium Grade defensive Spirit Armor, good stuff!"

Wang Bin heard the two talking. With a slight sense, he discovered that it was a Middle Stage Demon King and a Middle Stage Cultivator.

"Yin Bi? Zhong Sheng Sect?" Wang Bin asked, his face full of astonishment.

He saw Yin Bi and an Eagle King, about ten feet tall and standing upright, suspended side by side above his head, looking down at him from above.

"Hehe! Qing Mu, your time has come. How dare you kill my son and seize our Yin Family's Opportunity?"

Yin Bi looked at Wang Bin, whose Qi was in disarray and who was severely injured, and cursed through gritted teeth.

Wang Bin's heart skipped a beat, but at a time like this, he would deny it to his dying breath.

"Hmph! Elder Yin, don't slander me.

I think you are the real culprit who murdered fellow sect members, and you're even colluding with people from the Zhong Sheng Sect. Have you already joined the Zhong Sheng Sect?

If you want to seek death yourself, do you want to drag your Yin Family down with you?"

"Hmph! Liu Xue saw it with her own eyes. She personally saw you kill my son," Elder Yin said fiercely.

"Hmph! Idiot, has Liu Xue joined the Zhong Sheng Sect?

Can her words be trusted? If she didn't say that, how could she clear herself of responsibility and drag you into this?

If you and this Demon King really kill me, there will truly be no turning back.

I killed two Zhong Sheng Sect envoys before. Isn't it normal for them to want to kill me?" Wang Bin retorted.

"This…"

Upon hearing Wang Bin's words, Yin Bi couldn't help but hesitate, turning his head to look at the Eagle King in confusion.

"Despicable human, with your glib tongue, we…"

Wang Bin was waiting for this moment. He quickly took out two Kings Sword from his storage bracelet, firing with both hands, launching an attack without hesitation.

The situation was urgent, and he didn't care about conserving bullets. He immediately unleashed a ten-shot burst.

"Bang bang bang bang…"

Ten Lei Sha Pearl instantly shot out, eight of which accurately struck the heads and Dantian vital points of the Eagle King and Yin Bi.

The other two were dodged by them tilting their heads. Wang Bin immediately used his Divine Sense to control these two Lei Sha Pearl to explode by their ears.

The distance between the two sides was only a few tens of meters. While Wang Bin launched his attack, he fully activated his Spirit Armor to protect himself, then immediately drew out the last Kings Sword from his storage bracelet, just in case. If they weren't dead, he would immediately fire another shot.
