Killing and arson for a golden belt, repairing bridges and roads leaves no corpse!

Xu Yang left White Dragon Island, stood on the lakeshore, and took out a mini bamboo raft.

Inferior Magic Artifact—Green Bamboo Boat!

Priced at one hundred Spirit Stones, the main body is made of “Spirit Bamboo,” engraved with “Light Wind” Array patterns, possessing a very fast escape speed, but with extremely weak defense. It can’t withstand attacks from mid-Qi Cultivation Cultivators and can only be used as a means of transportation, not suitable for battling other cultivators.

Xu Yang tossed the bamboo raft, and Gang Yuan replaced Mana to infuse it. The three-inch bamboo raft instantly grew in the wind, transforming into a small boat that was a Zhang in length and quite broad.

The methods of Cultivation are indeed magical—most magical artifacts possess the ability to alter their size, able to switch between two fixed states.

Like this Green Bamboo Boat, three inches when small, one Zhang when large. As long as Mana is infused, one can freely switch between them, but it is limited to these two fixed states. It can’t be shrunk to five or six inches, nor enlarged to two or three zhang.

This type of low-priced magical artifact can only switch between fixed states.

Only high-tier magical artifacts, and even superior Magical Treasures, can change size at will.

But it’s still not bad.

Xu Yang stepped onto the Green Bamboo Boat and headed straight out of the lake.

Although he has not yet begun Cultivation, the Great Dao is infinite, all roads lead to the same goal. Divine Intent Gang Qi and Cultivation Mana are essentially energies, special energies combining nature’s Yuan Qi with the human body.

Although the quality of Cultivation Mana is higher, as long as a Martial Artist has strong control and studies Cultivation Skills, they can completely convert their own Divine Intent Gang Qi into Cultivation Mana, though with some loss.

For Xu Yang, this was not an issue at all.

Therefore, he could also use magical artifacts, and not only use them; Formation, Elixir Skills, Talisman, and Artifact Refining methods—all the things Cultivators can do, he could do them all. Except for not having a

Spiritual Root, there is no difference between him and a regular Cultivator.

Riding the Green Bamboo Boat, Xu Yang left White Dragon Island, heading out of the Immortal Cultivation World.

The boat moved neither slowly nor urgently, with Xu Yang neither anxious nor impatient.

Fishing requires patience.

He had just strolled around the market and had his eye on quite a few items, including a lower-tier Array Formation heritage.

But alas, he was short on funds. Even if he sold all his “booty,” he couldn’t get enough Spirit Stones to purchase those desirable items.

Thus, he decided to play the role of a Robbing Cultivator for once, to see if anyone would take the bait.

It is true that being a Robbing Cultivator is dangerous, with everyone calling for their execution and being pursued, but this is only for those who rob and plunder all year round.

For someone like Xu Yang, who just occasionally hits a jackpot and knows the art of Disguise Concealment, there’s virtually no risk. The only exception would be if someone laid a targeted killing trap for him in a counter-fishing scheme.

Xu Yang didn’t believe that someone would target him just as he entered the Cultivation World.

So, go ahead with the plan, and if necessary, switch identities afterward.

“No, that’s not right. How can fishing be considered robbery? It’s self-defense, a righteous action!”

Xu Yang smiled, leaving the Spirit Lake, heading straight for the mundane world.

Elsewhere…

“How is it?”

“He’s headed towards the mundane world.”

“Can you discern any background or origins?”

“No, he’s a newcomer, never seen him before!”

“Followed the whole way, just him alone.”

“Seems like a real greenhorn. Let’s move.”

“Indeed, we’ve seen most of the Robbing Cultivators around White Dragon Lake, and there’s an unspoken understanding among us; no one would do this kind of thing. Unless it’s a mighty dragon crossing the river. But what of that? With the methods of us three brothers, even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator can be dealt with. What’s there to fear?

“Considering this guy’s behavior earlier, he’s undoubtedly from the Immortal fate Men, carrying treasures and spending lavishly. He has already attracted quite a bit of attention in the market. If we don’t make our move now, others might beat us to it.”

“Alright then, let’s go!”

Having left the Immortal Cultivation World and returned to the mundane realm, Xu Yang finally understood why Cultivators were unwilling to stay long in the mundane—malnutrition and regression of Cultivation were part of it, but the other part was the thin Yuan Qi of the mundane, which would greatly reduce the fighting power of Cultivators.

A spell cast in the Cultivation World with full force of Mana would unleash its full power. In the mundane world, without the aid of nature’s Spiritual Energy, the same amount of Mana would only yield one-third of the original power.

According to the records in the Cultivation Travel Record, there are even Death Lands in the world, environments worse than the mundane world.

Although the mundane world lacks high-grade Spiritual Energy, low-grade Yuan Qi is still present. But those Death Lands lack even Yuan Qi; they are true Origin Spirit Deserts, forbidden zones for Cultivation.

To this, Xu Yang felt somewhat curious: “If I get the chance, I might actually go

“Boom!!!”

Before he could finish his thought, a sudden change occurred. A torrent of water beneath exploded like thunder, heavily slamming into the bottom of the Green Bamboo Boat, causing the fragile boat to burst into pieces and scatter.

Xu Yang flipped and rose, flying back several zhang, landing and taking several steps across the water’s surface while looking around in shock and doubt.

At that moment, a figure burst out from the waters.

It was a burly middle-aged man with coarse hair and a beard.

Abruptly bursting from the water, holding a fishing spear, he laughed wildly,

“Kid, how do you like the Kui Water Thunder from grandpa?”

Xu Yang’s face darkened, and without responding, he plunged back into the water.

“Hahaha! ”

Seeing this, the burly man laughed instead of being surprised. “As I thought, just a little greenhorn!”

With that, he leapt, diving into the water as well.

This world is one of struggle—whether a sheep or a wolf, one must fight.

This was also reflected on White Dragon Island.

The Cultivators who came to trade in the White Dragon Island market were mostly capable of water combat, skilled in the Water Battle Method or Water Escape Technique, able to rely on water to escape in critical moments. Everyone thought the market of White Dragon Island was quite safe..
