60: Chapter 60 Wang Bin’s Reflections on Practice

As night fell, a lively celebration banquet was underway in the City Lord's Mansion.

Under Hall Master Chu's care, Wang Bin was fortunate enough to sit at the same table with several Golden Core cultivators, where the table was laden with food and wine arranged by Qin Wenjun and the other three women, with Demon Beast Meat being the highlight of the evening.

Chu Wu's mood today had been up and down, but overall, he was very happy, as he had successfully acquired the Azure Flame Bird.

In the front courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, over a hundred Disciples from the Four Seas Commerce League who had come to provide support were also eating heartily.

There was an ample supply of Qi Refining Yao Beast Meat, allowing them to feast to their heart's content, while Foundation Establishment Yao Beast Meat was slightly restricted and supplied in limited quantities.

Although the quality of the wine was slightly inferior, this did not affect everyone's spirits in the slightest, and the entire front courtyard was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

After the banquet dispersed, Chu Wu announced that they would set off for West Sea City at dawn the next day, and Wang Bin would also go with them.

The reason for not choosing to travel overnight was perhaps due to humanity's long-standing instinctive habit, and there was no urgent matter at hand.

Cultivators were also accustomed to traveling during the day, so Wang Bin properly arranged for the Golden Core Elders to rest, and as for the other hundred-plus Cultivators, he no longer concerned himself with them.

After all, everyone was a Cultivator, and handling such minor matters was not difficult.

By the time all matters were finally properly arranged, the time had quietly slipped into the early hours of the morning.

In the dead of night, only the cold starlight filtered through the window lattice and spilled onto the ground.

Wang Bin, dragging his heavy and slightly weary body, slowly walked towards his room.

However, the moment he pushed open the door, he was surprised to find Wen Jun, Zhaojun, Yuhuan, and Qianqian, the four women, sitting quietly inside, waiting for his return.

Evidently, the continuous series of various incidents and life-and-death crises over the past two days had greatly frightened the women who had just stepped into the Cultivation World.

Looking at their pale and fearful Faces, a wave of pity welled up in Wang Bin's heart.

Thus, he quickly stepped forward and gently comforted them.

Wang Bin gently took each person's hand, looking sincerely into their eyes to calm their emotions.

Although he himself had experienced more dangers in the past few days, as the head of the Family, he naturally could not show a weak side like them.

Gradually, the fear and unease that had originally lingered in their hearts began to dissipate little by little.

After some time, Wang Bin finally succeeded in helping the four women regain their composure and sent them back to their respective rooms to rest.

After everyone had left, Wang Bin gently closed the door and let out a long sigh.

He realized that there were several powerful Golden Core cultivators living in the backyard. These Cultivators had exceptionally strong Divine Sense, and even the slightest movement would likely not escape their keen perception.

That was why he sent the women away; otherwise, today would have been a good opportunity for them all to sleep together.

Moreover, at this moment, he had no time to spare for such romantic entanglements.

For him, the most important thing at the moment was to be alone in peace.

Only in this way could he gradually calm his restless heart and systematically sort out the various complex matters he had experienced in the past few days.

Recalling all the events that had transpired in just these two short days, Wang Bin felt a sense of lingering fear, deeply realizing that he had made so many mistakes.

First and foremost, at the very beginning, due to being unable to save Face, coupled with a deep-seated apprehension towards Inner Sect Disciple and the power of Yin Chengmu's Family, he almost plunged himself into an abyss of no return.

A few days ago, when Chen Fei, Yin Chengmu, and Liu Xue invited him to act as a guide in the perilous Demon Beast Mountain Range, he should not have easily agreed at that time.

Now, after calmly reflecting, Wang Bin suddenly understood.

In fact, even if he had decisively refused their request at that time, what would have happened? Would they have unhesitatingly attacked him in broad daylight, in front of everyone, just because of such a small refusal?

One must know that everyone belonged to the same School, and internal strife was forbidden!

Even if there were some conflicts and grudges between them, in such a public setting, they would probably not dare to act so recklessly and wantonly.

What's more, he was in White Cloud City, controlling the protective array of White Cloud City. If it really came to a fight, he wouldn't be afraid of them at all.

Furthermore, with his ability to produce Spirit Liquid at zero cost, he didn't need to worry about Cultivation resources before the Golden Core Stage, and there was no need to personally take risks for small benefits.

From now on, any adventurous undertaking must be approached with extreme caution; unless absolutely necessary, he should not participate in any risky endeavors.

Secondly, the treachery of the Cultivation World far exceeded his imagination; people's hearts were unfathomable and difficult to predict.

He and Yin Chengmu and the others should have had no enmity whatsoever; after all, they belonged to the same School and should have supported each other and progressed together.

However, just because the women around him were somewhat attractive, or for reasons unknown to him, he brought about a deadly disaster!

The greed and shamelessness of these people were simply outrageous; not only did they harbor ill intentions towards Qin Wenjun and the other women, but they even wanted to put him to death to eliminate future troubles.

And Yin Chengmu was even more arrogant, actually personally launching a sneak attack on him, and almost succeeded.

Moreover, his escape from death this time was purely due to extremely good luck.

If it weren't for his quick wit and ability to adapt at the crucial moment, he would have long since become a ghost under their blades.

But upon careful consideration, this encounter was ultimately due to his own weakness.

Whether in terms of combat ability or the equipment he possessed, there was a significant gap between him and Yin Chengmu.

Furthermore, he had many shortcomings in his conduct, often hesitating and dragging his feet, lacking the decisive and courageous Qi for killing.

He himself had once been addicted to women, spending his days intoxicated in their gentle embrace, unable to extricate himself.

After he mastered the method of Spirit Liquid production, he should have immediately gone to West Sea City to find a market, secretly exchanging small amounts of Spirit Liquid for various resources and purchasing Spiritual Artifacts to arm himself.

Instead, he spent every day entangled with the women, wasting a year and still remaining in White Cloud City.

Only by becoming strong himself can he gain a firm foothold in this Cultivation World and avoid being easily bullied and schemed against by others.

In short, on this path of Cultivation, one must never easily trust others; once resources are obtained, they must prioritize the improvement of one's own strength.

Never become overly infatuated with beauty; women are merely a embellishment on the long Cultivation journey.

Furthermore, this time, knowing that Yao Beasts were besieging White Cloud City, he still risked entering, the root cause being for beauty, which led him into danger.

Such behavior must be strenuously avoided in the future. This trip to West Sea City, in addition to learning Spells for concealing Cultivation, also requires learning some secret methods to prevent tracking.

At the same time, attention must be paid to Spells for destroying corpses and erasing traces. Recalling the subsequent handling of Yin Chengmu this time, it was full of loopholes, and he only managed to cope by sheer luck.

The best method is to completely eliminate the corpse, even the remnants of the Soul and Mental Energy, otherwise, future troubles are inevitable.

If he inadvertently offends the second or third generation Disciples of more powerful Cultivation Families in the future, and fails to properly handle the aftermath, once their Family discovers it, it will surely trigger a huge disaster.

Moreover, after presenting the Azure Flame Bird to Hall Master Chu today, Yin Tianqi clearly intended to cause him trouble; if Hall Master Chu hadn't stepped forward in time, it would have been another tricky problem.

It is said that there are secret methods in the Cultivation World that can directly probe a Cultivator's memory, which is quite terrifying to think about.

Only by continuously strengthening himself can he fundamentally eliminate such risks.

After repeatedly reviewing his experiences of the past two days, Wang Bin's anxiety and unease finally eased slightly.

He had no intention of sleeping today, even though he hadn't slept for two days.

He took out a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone from his Storage Pouch, sat cross-legged on the bed, and prepared to begin Cultivating.

After dealing with Yin Chengmu, he had consumed two drops of Spirit Liquid to replenish his spiritual power, which had left his internal spiritual power slightly unstable.

He now needed to circulate his Cultivation Technique multiple times to ensure that his spiritual power flowed smoothly within his body and returned to its optimal state.
