Chapter 100: White banner

Time passed quickly, and more than a month had passed in the blink of an eye. It was already the end of May.It was about to be the hottest time of the year.

Jiang Wang glanced at the setting sun outside the window and slowly withdrew his cultivation, hiding the increasingly clear Tian Di Gate.

During this month, it was the most peaceful time for Jiang Wang since he left Zhuangguo.

He focused mainly on cultivation.

Of course, he didn't neglect his "farming" either.

The time for the Tianqing Stone vein to completely deplete was approaching, but the miners in the Hu family's mine were all in high spirits.

Under Zhong Xuan Sheng's arrangement, Jiang Wang began to take over all of Zhong Xuan's business in Yangguo.

Most of the internal constraints from the Zhong Xuan family were directly cut off by Zhong Xuan Sheng.

Jiang Wang treated Qingyang Town as his base of operations, although it inevitably caused some dissatisfaction from the Jia family.

But in the previous incident of the depletion of the vein, they couldn't wash away their responsibility and could only accept it. After all, it was originally agreed that the Zhong Xuan family had a thirty-year operating right in this place.

The current magistrate of Qingyang Town was the former mine manager, Hu Laogen, and naturally he followed Jiang Wang's orders.

As long as Jiang Wang was willing to use the people of Qingyang Town as the magistrate, the Xi family would not say much. They would just treat it as if Hu Laogen and his son, Hu Shaomeng, were still alive and competing with them openly and secretly.

It was not difficult to make the common people live a good life.

The rulers themselves should respect the reasonable laws and regulations that have been established and not be corrupt or violate the law.

The methods to make the common people live and work in peace have long been written into laws and rules by the wise men of the past. As long as they are not misinterpreted or violated, they can be implemented.

When the vein is depleted, they can look for new mines. If there are no more mines, there are still other resources to exploit.

The earth is generous, providing countless resources for the creatures on it. As long as they are not excessively greedy and know how to control themselves, they can thrive.

For transcendent cultivators, it is even simpler - as long as they don't exploit excessively.

They should take what they deserve as offerings and make their own contributions before natural disasters.

This was not difficult for Jiang Wang.

In essence, Jiang Wang didn't do much in Qingyang Town, but in just over a month, the people's spirits were completely renewed.

As for his own cultivation, first, he reached the Illusory Void Realm and entered the top ten. In the matches of the Zhou Tian Realm, he was already ranked ninth.

After contributing one thousand and fifty points to the Lexi Fudi, Jiang Wang dropped to the thirty-second place on the Longhu Mountain. From then on, he only earned nine hundred and fifty points per month.

He was well aware of the decline in his ranking in the Fudi, but he didn't feel disappointed. After all, the opponents he encountered in the Fudi challenges were far superior in realm.

He didn't know where he would eventually stop, but at the very least, he hoped to hold onto his ranking before being completely "expelled" from the Fudi and continue to move forward - this goal seemed too far away for now.

Including the merits earned through the Sword Arena, he had accumulated a total of five thousand four hundred and ten points.

The accumulation of "laws" progressed slowly, only adding seven points, reaching four hundred and thirty-five points.

As for various Dao techniques, Jiang Wang practiced diligently.

In terms of cultivation realm, the Tian Di Gate in his own "vision" had become substantial.

It was a tall stone gate, about three zhang high and one zhang eight chi wide. This was not the actual height, and the unknown void where the Tian Di Gate was located might not be measured by this. It was purely Jiang Wang's "visual" feeling.

There were faint inscriptions on the gate, which were unclear and constantly changing.

Everyone had their own unique Tian Di Gate, each different. The Tian Di Gate was the most secretive place for everyone and naturally couldn't be studied by others.

But in the vast world of cultivation, the predecessors left behind some records and analysis. Zhong Xuan Sheng naturally had no shortage of these things and gave Jiang Wang a lot of them.

Some were completely different and unhelpful, while others were somewhat similar and could be used as references.

Based on the notes of the predecessors, Jiang Wang speculated that these inscriptions might be the manifestation of his own cultivation, his Dao.

Perhaps these inscriptions would become fixed only after he truly understood his own "Dao".

The most conspicuous thing on the stone gate was the three horizontal lines.

The upper, middle, and lower positions completely divided the Tian Di Gate.

These three horizontal lines represented heaven, earth, and man respectively. They were the condensed images of Jiang Wang's Little Zhou Tian and also the embodiment of his strongest three swords.

They seemed light and ethereal, but in reality, they were the heaviest.

If it weren't for these three horizontal lines, the Tian Di Gate would have been pushed open by Jiang Wang long ago.

They once supported him to come to this point, but now they hindered his progress.

He had to bear everything he had built and, in this process of bearing, push open the Tian Di Gate with his own hands.

Only then could he break the barrier between heaven and man and let his Dao soar.

At this moment, Jiang Wang truly understood.

Why did they say that the stronger the cultivator in the Zhou Tian Realm, the more difficult it was to push open this gate?

And people like Wang Yiwu were at another level.

His power had already reached the limit of the Zhou Tian Realm, surpassing the limit that the Tian Di Gate could reach.

His Tian Di Gate was unbreakable and unyielding.

Yet he was still trying his best to break the limit, to make the Tian Di Gate stronger, and to go further - this was almost impossible to achieve.

The reason why it was called a limit was because it had been proven by countless past geniuses.

Countless geniuses reached this point but couldn't make any progress, so they declared it as the limit.The reason why Jiang Mengxiong dared to say that Wang Yiwu was the strongest in the current Through Heaven Realm was because he was at the limit of this realm. Even if the past unparalleled geniuses were compared, they would only be at this level in this realm.

For Jiang Wang, he certainly had thoughts about Wang Yiwu's level. If he had the chance, he would go there, but he wouldn't obsessively insist.

As for the future, everyone has different choices.

Like Yin Guan, who was forced by the pressure from the upper echelons of the country to realize his potential ahead of time and step into the Outer Tower Realm at the fastest speed.

Like Wang Yiwu, who had the protection of Jiang Mengxiong, constantly solidifying his foundation, expanding the limit of the Through Heaven Realm, and moving forward with the name of the strongest.

Jiang Wang, like Zhong Xuan Sheng, was trying to move forward as quickly as possible while solidifying his foundation.

Before reaching the end, it's hard to say who is better.

The title of Wang Yiwu as the strongest in the Through Heaven Realm is certainly loud, but after all, it's just the Through Heaven Realm. The current Yin Guan could easily kill him.

But if Yin Guan is blocked before the Divine Dominion Realm, and Wang Yiwu catches up, the situation of strength and weakness will reverse.

On this long road of cultivation, everyone must make their utmost effort.

For the current Jiang Wang, what he cares about most is not the Heaven and Earth Gate.

But the "resident" in the Through Heaven Palace, the Ming Candle.

Jiang Wang's feelings for the Ming Candle are complicated.

On the one hand, he is very clear about the relationship between this thing and the Bone Dao. On the other hand, this thing has indeed saved his life.

The first time the Ming Candle reacted, it should have merged with the bone seed of Miaoyu. Jiang Wang didn't know about this, it was told by Miaoyu.

The second time was when it encountered Miaoyu's wound, perhaps touching Miaoyu's Dao Yuan, the Ming Candle transmitted the "Flesh and Soul Return Technique" that only worked for the followers of the Bone Dao.

The third time was because of the memory sealing secret technique used by Bai Lian, which stimulated the reaction of the Ming Candle, protected Jiang Wang from being sealed, and transmitted the "Bone Escape Technique" that used lifespan to travel through Yin and Yang.

The fourth time was to warn of the disaster in Maple Forest City.

Since Maple Forest City, the Ming Candle has not moved again. (Jiang Wang doesn't remember the time when he absorbed the death gas in the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm.)

But last night, the Ming Candle moved a bit in the Through Heaven Palace.

Jiang Wang absolutely believes in his own judgment. Although he has gained nothing from his active research on the Ming Candle, he has never relaxed his observation of the Ming Candle.

The Ming Candle did indeed "quietly" move in the Through Heaven Palace.

He didn't know whether this was good or bad.

This made him alert.

Under his intentional or unintentional control, the true spirit of his Dao Vein no longer revolves around the Ming Candle.

Instead, it shuttles back and forth among the nine Star River Dao Vortexes, constantly refining, in order to sublimate.

……

Rizhao County has seven cities, and their sizes are roughly the same.

Jia City is located in the middle and slightly east of Rizhao County, and to the southwest of Jia City, there is a Yue City.

To the north of Yue City, there is a Li family. The head of the family is often out doing business and rarely comes home. It's not clear what exactly he does.

He suddenly came back a while ago, sorted out some things and left, saying that he had a big business deal abroad.

It's not clear whether he went to Qi Country or somewhere else, and his half-deaf ugly wife couldn't explain clearly.

In this era, there are not many ordinary people who travel across cities and borders. Many people live in mountain villages all their lives and have never been to the town. So no one can verify the truth. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the n0vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

And no one has the time to do so.

But not long after, Old Li came back again. This time he stayed at home for a long time, and his ugly wife, who had been matched with him by someone else to live together years ago, was also glowing with happiness all day long.

The Li family seldom interacts with their neighbors, so it's not good for everyone to ask about his business. But judging from the daily expenses of this family, it seems that they are not bad.

For many people, life is always ordinary.

One day, the half-deaf ugly wife of the Li family hurriedly left the house and spent a lot of money to invite the best doctor from the west of the city. It's not clear what disease Old Li had.

It was only then that the neighbors realized that the Li family was wealthy.

Otherwise, who could afford to invite that clinic in the west of the city? Not to mention that they even invited the famous old Mr. Qin.

That was the former head of the clinic, who had not been seeing patients in person for a long time. Who could afford to invite him without a hundred or so gold coins?

The clever ones had already planned to wait until Old Li's condition was slightly better, bring some gifts to visit, and let him introduce them to see if they could get involved in such a profitable business.

Rich relatives in the deep mountains are still distant relatives, let alone rich neighbors in such a close position?

Don't look at Old Li's old age, he must have many connections, otherwise, how could he have so much money?

Ordinary families, when they get sick, they just grit their teeth and endure it. Who has the luxury to see a doctor, let alone such an expensive doctor.

The city lord's house sees this doctor when they get sick!

As for whether this disease can be cured, with Mr. Qin taking action, how could it not be cured?

……

The next day, the clever neighbor got up early and was ready to visit with a gift box.

But as soon as he walked out the door, he was stunned.

The door of the Li family next door was tightly closed.

A white banner was hung in front of the door.
