In late autumn, heavy rain poured down, causing the yellow leaves in the mountains to fall in large numbers. The originally dark mountain was now covered in rain and mist, becoming even darker and more eerie.

Wang Xuan didn't look back and rushed into the rain.

The six experienced snipers were ruthless in their actions. They were afraid that after Wang Xuan dealt with the man in black, he would come after them. They directly used energy cannons, disregarding the life or death of the man in black.

These people were professional killers who would do anything for money, even if it meant getting their hands covered in blood. In order to ensure their own survival, they could even abandon or kill their employers without hesitation.

After Wang Xuan dealt with them, he didn't regret it. It was his first time killing someone, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. He ran through the rain, relieving the indescribable emotions, splashing mud with every step.

He exerted all his strength and sprinted through the rain at the fastest speed, without stopping for dozens of miles. Covered in sweat mixed with rainwater, he entered a small town.

He slowed down his pace, adjusted his breathing, and bought new clothes to replace his broken jacket. Then, he opened an umbrella and took a walk by a small lake in the town.

He was contemplating his future. Since he started practicing the old techniques, his peaceful life had never returned. Looking at the misty lake in the rain, he thought of various possibilities.

Since he couldn't make a new choice, if he wanted to maintain a peaceful and harmonious life, he could only become stronger and reach the legendary heights in the old techniques!

"Qing Mu, Old Qing, you... actually blocked me?" Wang Xuan tried to contact Qing Mu, but couldn't get through. He finally realized that he had been blocked by him a few days ago.

He was speechless for a moment, and then he heard the deepest curse from little Wang: "Qing Mu, you're next. There's no way you can escape!"

In a certain mansion on New Planet, Old Cheng wore a gossip robe inside and a purple-gold kasaya outside. He held a begging bowl in one hand and a whisk in the other. His face was painted with bright red cinnabar, and he looked dispirited. If he still couldn't wait for that expert in a few days, he would return to Old Planet.

When Hei Hu contacted Qing Mu and informed him that little Wang was looking for him, Qing Mu's fingers holding the cigarette trembled. He didn't want to deal with it.

But then Feng Kite and Old Mu contacted him one after another, telling him that it was a matter of life and death for little Wang to find him.

Qing Mu sighed and had no choice but to contact Wang Xuan. He wanted to hide for a few days, but he had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, as soon as he contacted Wang Xuan, he heard a resentful voice on the other end of the phone: "Old Qing, you're finished. I have a feeling that it's your turn next!"

Qing Mu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Shut up. Did you bother me when you were alone?"

"No, don't think too much. Something happened on my end!" Wang Xuan quickly told Qing Mu about the vicious ambush in Daheishan.

"Old Qing, our exploration organization is supposed to cooperate with the country and have a semi-official status. But within half a month, I have been assassinated three times. This exploration organization is really losing face. Some people are acting recklessly, treating Old Planet as their backyard. Whether it's a financial clique or other fields, should we just let them stay and celebrate the New Year?" Wang Xuan's anger could be felt even through the phone.

Although they were separated by the phone, Qing Mu could already feel Wang Xuan's anger.

Qing Mu said, "Alright, stop talking. I'll have someone deal with this matter immediately. For now, pretend that nothing has happened and don't disturb the normal lives of your family and friends."

And this was exactly what Wang Xuan wanted. After all, leaving seven bodies in Daheishan, once they were discovered or if he reported it to the police, the small town would be in chaos. The peaceful lives of his family and friends would definitely be disrupted.

The exploration organization had a semi-official status, so it was most appropriate for Qing Mu to find someone to handle it.

After ending the call, Wang Xuan went straight home, washed his body, and buried his head in sleep. He still felt uncomfortable in his heart. Before falling asleep, he meditated and sorted out his emotions, adjusting his mindset to return to peace and harmony.

In fact, he had a strong psychological endurance. He dared to imagine the female Taoist with blood stains on her face as a heavenly immortal in his dreams. Naturally, he could quickly deal with the current problems.

In the evening, Wang Xuan woke up with a full of energy and vitality, sweeping away the previous gloom. He let go of this matter.

From today onwards, he would face the future with a completely different mindset.

Outside, the sky was filled with red clouds, indicating good weather for tomorrow. Wang Xuan's mood gradually improved, and he had a big appetite as he had dinner with his parents.

At night, Wang Xuan watched TV and chatted with his parents until after nine o'clock before returning to his room. He lightly tapped on the desk with his fingers, carefully thinking about today's experiences. It was really dangerous.

The man in black was unexpectedly strong. His achievements in the field of old techniques were quite extraordinary, causing Wang Xuan to exhaust all his strength. He lay on the ground unable to move, almost being shot.

"The Inner World... it comes suddenly and goes quickly. It can't be actively controlled." He sighed. Today, he triggered a state of heightened senses in that desperate situation. This coincidence allowed him to escape.

But he couldn't rely on this special state. Who could guarantee that he would have the same luck next time?He had reason to believe that once there was such a psychological dependence, the next time would undoubtedly be a death sentence. If he himself believed that he could trigger the super sense at a critical moment, would it still be considered a life-or-death situation? His subconscious mind would definitely think otherwise!

If that were the case, it would be a dead end. Even if he had nine lives, it wouldn't be enough to survive!

So Wang Xuan sighed. After experiencing such a thing, it became increasingly difficult for him to trigger the super sense. The pre-Qin Taoists should have some conventional methods.

Unfortunately, whether it was various bamboo slips or ancient sect classics, they were all left on New Planet. He wanted to look them up, but there were no books to read.

"Should I start with meditation? In theory, reaching the highest state of meditation, known as the Bodhisattva realm, can be achieved in the empty and clear time." Wang Xuan pondered.

His current method, the so-called super sense state, should belong to the category of the unity of man and nature in Taoism. Buddhism naturally has a similar path as well.

"It's quite difficult to enter the highest state of meditation." Wang Xuan frowned. Those who have had the experience of practicing as a holy monk for a lifetime find it difficult to enter that state. People who have had this experience have already disappeared in the ancient times.

On Sunday morning, the sky was clear and the morning glow filled the small city. Wang Xuan brought gifts to meet his two childhood friends, one who liked various new warship models and the other who liked various beautiful figurines.

He couldn't go to Daheishan Mountain. After seeing his two friends, he told them that there were blind bears in that area and it would be safer not to go there.

"I like this deep space warship model. I've tried to get someone to help me buy it several times, but it was always out of stock. Today, I finally got what I wanted!" Zhao Mo was very happy, and then he started to despise Lin Xuan next to him, saying, "You're a forever young boy!"

Lin Xuan played with the beautiful girl figurines and retorted, "A man is forever young, always having a young heart, always liking beautiful things. You're only in your twenties and you don't like beautiful women anymore. It means you're getting old. Look at me and Wang Xuan, we're forever youthful, appreciating and constantly searching for beautiful scenery with our eyes."

Zhao Mo said, "I'm getting married in another year or so. Go play with your figurines. As for Wang Xuan, hehe, his aesthetic level has already surpassed figurines. He likes real people, you know."

The two of them brought a cardboard box with a small yellow dog inside. It was strong and said to be the most authentic mountain guard dog puppy. They asked Wang Xuan to take it back to the city to raise.

Wang Xuan shook his head. "Forget it, I don't have time to take care of it now. I won't raise it."

When he was eleven or twelve years old, he had raised a small mixed-breed dog, but it died in less than half a year. He couldn't eat for two days and was very sad. Since then, he dared not raise another pet.

Yuncheng was not big. After lunch, the three of them took a walk around the city and chatted for a long time. Wang Xuan knew that this peaceful life would soon be far away, and he cherished everything in front of him.

He felt that his journey to New Planet was not far away.

...

In the afternoon, Wang Xuan bid farewell to his parents and set off on his journey back to Ancheng, his workplace.

The next few days were calm. Wang Xuan studied the Daoist scriptures during the day and practiced root techniques and body techniques at night, feeling extremely fulfilled.

With the thought of caring for his old colleagues, he called Qing Mu during this period and asked him to send his regards to Old Cheng, and also asked when Old Cheng would be back.

Qing Mu almost threw away the phone because today, someone he knew came back from New Planet and brought him a message. Old Cheng asked him to help take care of the thousand-year-old ancient temple outside the city. Old Cheng wanted to stay there for a while, which meant... Old Cheng would be back soon!

Qing Mu panicked a little because it was obvious that Old Cheng couldn't even defend against going to New Planet and was still being tossed around. Everything was just as Wang Xuan had said. In the end, he still had to "return to his hometown."

He naturally thought of Wang Xuan's words. It was his turn next. He was unsure and didn't want to be cursed by Little Wang's seemingly enlightened mouth.

Pretending to be calm, he told Wang Xuan a piece of news, saying, "The man in black is not simple. He used to be a guest of honor for some elderly tycoons who entered their old age. His name is Sun Chengkun, a scholar and professor. He used to be extremely powerful, but he suffered a serious injury at the age of forty and had serious health problems. His strength declined a lot, otherwise he would be much stronger than he is now."

Wang Xuan was greatly surprised. The man in black was even stronger than he had imagined. He was truly someone who had achieved extraordinary accomplishments on the path of ancient techniques.

"Now that we know his identity, let's continue investigating. They have made three moves, not only targeting me but also seriously provoking the exploration organization." Wang Xuan urged. This matter couldn't be left unresolved. There must be a result.

According to the pessimistic implication of the man in black, some people and forces were far beyond what he had encountered and fought against. He had to endure it.

But being assassinated again and again, and having to endure it as if nothing had happened, was not Wang Xuan's character. He wanted to secretly investigate to the end.

The next day, Old Cheng returned and stayed in the thousand-year-old ancient temple outside the city.

Qing Mu panicked. It happened that Wang Xuan was not in Ancheng, so he asked Black Tiger to take care of Old Cheng and make all the necessary arrangements.

That day, Old Cheng had a conversation with Qing Mu and told him not to leak the news for now. Don't tell Wang Xuan that he had returned. He didn't want to see that kid right now.In fact, Wang Xuan didn't want to see him either at the moment. Who would willingly jump into a pit for the second time, to actively seek out an "ominous old man"?

His primary task at this stage was to enhance his own strength. Therefore, he got up early on the weekend and left the city to rush to the ancient temple that had stood for a thousand years. He wanted to see if there was a rare treasure - the transformation stone.
