Chapter 8

Shixi Ming stood on the eaves of the house, his body as light as a feather, his legs glowing with a blue light.

This time, he came to Daxia for a legacy.

His talent was not good, and it took him more than twenty years to cultivate to the third level of Qi Refinement.

This level of strength was in a very awkward position; normal cultivators who traveled outside would not have a strength lower than this.

And due to the lack of time for long-term cultivation, he did not have much combat skill, and he did not even have the strength to rob.

If it were not for the resources passed down by his ancestors, perhaps he would not even have reached the third level of Qi Refinement.

While casually flipping through the notes left by his ancestors, he saw a casual note mentioning that one of his ancestor's good friends, after being severely injured and losing his path to immortality, returned to Daxia.

The note described how his ancestor's friend was quite lucky, obtaining a high-quality magical artifact at the initial stage of Qi Refinement.

A high-quality magical artifact was something that most cultivators at the later stage of Qi Refinement could not obtain, showing how precious it was. Moreover, his ancestor's friend's high-quality magical artifact was a high-quality offensive magical artifact.

Perhaps his ancestor recorded it as a memory, but when Shixi Ming saw it, he first thought that if he could have a high-quality offensive magical artifact, he could rob most of the mid-to-low-level cultivators.

Although low-level cultivators could not sustain the use of a high-quality offensive magical artifact for long, even mid-level cultivators without good defensive magical artifacts could not withstand the attack of a low-level cultivator using a high-quality offensive magical artifact.

He thought this was his destiny, so he came to Daxia.

However, he had no connections in the secular world, and when he inquired about the descendants of his ancestor's friend, the information leaked.

The ancestor of the head of the Wang family was precisely the friend of Shixi Ming's ancestor. The legacy left by the ancestor of the head of the Wang family became the foundation of the Wang family.

The legacy of the ancestor of the head of the Wang family was not just a cultivation legacy but also included several top martial arts legacies.

In the cultivation world, top martial arts legacies were not highly valued, but these several top martial arts legacies made the Wang family produce many experts.

The current head of the Wang family had achieved the rank of Grandmaster, and the Weiyuan Escort Agency was one of the largest escort agencies in Daxia.

The head of the Wang family also knew the importance of the legacy left by his ancestor. Upon learning that someone was inquiring about his ancestor, he took precautions.

On that day, he gathered the heads of the escort agency to prepare a response when Shixi Ming found them.

Seven heads of the escort agency fought desperately, allowing the head of the Wang family to escape from the Tianxiang Building. Relying on his familiarity with the surroundings, he successfully evaded Shixi Ming's pursuit.

Shixi Ming did not expect the head of the Wang family to be so cunning. A secular Grandmaster was nothing to a third-level Qi Refinement cultivator like him. He thought it would be easy to capture him, but a moment of carelessness allowed the head of the Wang family to escape.

Due to the incident at the Tianxiang Building, which was quite significant, especially with many scholars present and several scholars injured, as well as seven deaths, the authorities were fully investigating Shixi Ming.

Shixi Ming was not afraid of the authorities, but he did not want to cause too much trouble with the Daxia government before obtaining the legacy.

If the situation escalated, the immortal sects behind Daxia would send cultivators to handle it.

The cultivators sent to carry out missions were not something a mere third-level Qi Refinement cultivator like him could deal with.

For this reason, he did not cause any more trouble and only used some means to track the head of the Wang family.

However, after almost searching through half of Nanling City, he still could not find the head of the Wang family, which made him lose his composure.

Shixi Ming found the Weiyuan Escort Agency and killed everyone inside, using the fresh blood of the head of the Wang family's direct descendants to activate a low-level bloodline tracking talisman.

To his great disappointment, this low-level bloodline tracking talisman, which he had pinned his hopes on, did not find the exact location of the head of the Wang family.

There were two possibilities: either the head of the Wang family had left Nanling Prefecture for more than five hundred miles, or he had already died, which is why the low-level bloodline tracking talisman had failed.

Standing on the eaves, Shixi Ming gritted his teeth and took out a new tracking talisman. Unlike the previous tracking talisman, this one was filled with a dense spiritual aura.

This was a mid-level qi tracking talisman, one of the few things left by his ancestors.

A mid-level talisman was worth a hundred low-level talismans of the same type. With his third-level Qi Refinement strength, he could not draw a mid-level talisman himself.

Using a mid-level talisman to track a mortal made him feel a bit heartache.

"Once I track you down, I will extract your soul and turn your body into a puppet!" He said reluctantly while taking out a piece of clothing from his storage bag.

The clothing was found in the Weiyuan Escort Agency, belonging to the head of the Wang family, and it carried his aura.

He mobilized his spiritual energy to activate the mid-level tracking talisman, which turned into a beam of light and landed on the clothing. Then, he felt the movement of the head of the Wang family through the mid-level tracking talisman.

The mid-level tracking talisman was effective for three hours. As long as the head of the Wang family was still in Nanling City, Shixi Ming was confident he could find him.

Even if the head of the Wang family was dead, his aura would still be left in all the places he had been.

He had already searched the Weiyuan Escort Agency and did not find the legacy item. Using some means, he learned from the head of the Wang family's family that he had taken an item with him.

So, whether or not he found the head of the Wang family himself, finding the item was still highly likely.

Shixi Ming applied a low-level lightness talisman to himself, keeping his body as light as a feather.

This time, to achieve his goal, he was extremely extravagant, using talismans he usually would not use.

Based on the aura clues provided by the mid-level tracking talisman, his figure leaped across the buildings in Nanling City.

After half an hour, he arrived outside the government office.

Feeling the direction indicated by the mid-level tracking talisman, he finally understood why he had not found the head of the Wang family before.

It turned out that the head of the Wang family had hidden inside the government office, the most dangerous place being the safest place.

Who would have thought that the person both Shixi Ming and the authorities were looking for was hiding inside the government office?

Without any hesitation, even if he was discovered by the authorities, he had to enter.

The aura direction was in the back garden, and the high walls were no obstacle to him.

He leaped over the wall, his feet stepping on the treetops, and he tracked the aura without touching the ground.

There was no one in the garden. Recently, Li Wenyuan had been extremely busy, and the Li family only had Li Wenyuan and Li Shiming, with few servants.

In the past few days, due to the major events in Nanling Prefecture, a large number of people had been dispatched to investigate.

Although Shixi Ming's strength was weak, it was only weak compared to cultivators. With the help of the low-level lightness talisman and his perception, he entered the garden without alarming anyone.
