After leaving the Eastern Continent, Xu Qianghua didn't immediately teleport back to the Xu family's subspace.
Instead, he planned to tour the Central Continent to see the changes and see if there were any opportunities that he needed to take note of.
With this in mind, he teleported to one of the more popular cities, but instead of using his real appearance, he used a special manual that assassins use to change his appearance.
Now, he looks like a low- to mid-level cultivator who has just arrived in this city, which did not cause too many problems as these cultivators are the most common.
As Xu Qianghua stepped onto the bustling streets, he immediately noticed how alive the city felt.
The buildings around him were a mix of traditional and modern styles, with towering pagodas and intricate stone carvings next to newer structures. This alone showed that although people had moved on, some feelings remained.
He then made his way toward the market area, which was filled with people who had either rented out a shop or set up stalls in some of the designated spots.
Liu Meiying came up with this idea after seeing the stall owners fight over limited spots that have good accessibility.
And from the looks of it, this plan worked, as there are no more disputes over this, which is good.
Xu Qianghua walked slowly, his eyes keenly observing everything around him.
While he remained quiet, dressed to avoid drawing attention, this did not mean that he had sealed his cultivation, as he used his keen hearing and his Incarnation Realm spiritual conscience to listen.
From some of the conversations, he learned that the Xuzhong Empire would soon take over the city he was in.
This is so that the cultivators can let off some steam in the areans where there are advanced formations that contain the Spiritual energy so that innocents do not get hurt.
But what caught his attention was the weapons and armor they were wearing, which surprised him a bit as each of them was made with high-quality items.
Although it is not odd to see this kind of scene, here, most of them are adventurer-style players who do not have enough background to buy the weapons, and their cultivation levels do not match the quality of the weapons.
You see, they were using Tier 3 weapons, which were only available for Golden Core cultivators, but neither of these people had that cultivation.
And when I said Tier 3 weapons are only available for Golden Core cultivators, it did not mean that lower realm ones were not allowed to buy it.
But this is mainly because the cost is not something a Foundation Realm cultivator can afford, as the jobs they receive do not give them enough to buy these weapons.
And as he was thinking about this, few cultivators who were standing next to him also started talking about this topic with an envy look.
"These guys are lucky enough to accept the missions posted by the Empyrean Harmony Sect, and as a reward, each of them got a Tier 3 weapon as a reward," One of the men said.
"Haah, what can we do? It's not like we could have snatched the mission, but from what I heard, more missions should be issued soon, which means that we will have a chance, too," the other man said.
This caused Xu Qianghua to raise his eyebrow; he then used his Spiritual conscience to scan the city to find the mission board of this city.
Soon, he found it; it was next to the main city gate, with crowds of people surrounding it.
But this was normal as more than 80% of the people here are adventurer-style players who need to do these kinds of missions to earn the resources they need to cultivate.
