  After Yang Tianwen buried Li Dage heavily, Yang Tianwen held a sword and knocked his head heavily on Li Dage's grave, then stood guard in front of the grave without saying a word. Xiaobai also quietly lay down beside him, not asking Yang Tianwen to make food for it.

  Yang Tianwen was keeping vigil for Li Dage at the same time, and also thought of many past events and bits and pieces about his life in recent years. Unbeknownst to him, he fell into a meditative state, and when he woke up, seven days had already passed.

  Seven days of meditation brought Yang Tianwen great benefits, although now it seems to have no practical significance and his cultivation hasn't increased much. However, Yang Tianwen's state of mind has made rapid progress.

  "The Supreme Tao" naturally cannot only cultivate magical powers without cultivating the mind. This top-level qigong method from ancient times is comprehensive, but the effect of cultivating the mind will only be revealed during the fetal breathing period. The previous steps are just accumulating and tempering internal energy, grinding the foundation. However, after experiencing the warmth of family ties this time, Yang Tianwen's state of mind actually got a boost ahead of schedule after going through the pain of losing loved ones. Cultivating in the mortal world indeed benefits the improvement of one's mental state!

  He stood up, bowed three times in front of Li Dage's tombstone, turned around and left. In the nearest town, he had a sword holder made for his back, which he wore on his back, of course, the sword holder did not block the sword body, but only hung it, steadily attached to his back. After all, Yang Tianwen still needed to use it to find someone, so he didn't put it in the compass.

  Yang Tianwu has been integrated into this world over the years, but he doesn't understand much about the outside world. The small village is a good place to live in seclusion, but it's very closed off from external news. The highest-ranking people Yang Tianwu has come into contact with are just some minor officials. So Yang Tianwu plans to find a slightly larger and more prosperous city to settle down in for a few years, while searching for people and gathering information about the outside world.

  Yang Tian asked about the ancient cultivation method of Taigu Lianqi, after entering the Qi circulation period, Yang Tian's lifespan, which had returned to its pre-heavenly state, was more than 10 times that of an ordinary person. This number would continue to multiply as his cultivation increased. Time, for Yang Tian who had now officially set foot in the cultivation world, was truly worthless. Yang Tian resolutely embarked on the path of cultivation also because of this reason, which could bring him a large amount of time to study the things he liked, such as the Destiny Heavenly Disk!

  Three days later, Yang Tian asked with the black sword on his back walked into a big city called Nanqiu. Xiao Bai curiously stuck to Yang Tian's shoulder and looked around everywhere.

  "Xiao Bai, shall we stay here for a while? This is the largest city within a thousand miles around." Yang Tian asked softly to Xiao Bai.

  "Wooh~" Xiaobai nodded in agreement.

  Yang Tianwen found a decent-looking inn and walked in, hmm, although he had been living in ancient Chinese society for more than three years, this was his first time entering an inn, and he couldn't help but feel some freshness and excitement.

  As soon as Yang Tianwen entered the inn, the waiter came up enthusiastically: "Guest officer... oh ~" The waiter paused for a moment, saw the long sword behind Yang Tianwen and changed his words: "This great hero, please come in, are you here to have a meal or stay?"

  Yang Tian was taken aback for a moment, this "hero" title did have some meaning to it. He turned his head to glance at the sword behind him and understood the implication. Shaking his head, he said: "I'm not any kind of hero, is there an empty room? I want one." Hero? It seems that in the 21st century, 'hero' and 'SB' (idiot) aren't much different.

  "You've come at just the right time, there's only one room left. Come on, I'll take you up." The waiter was staring at the small white thing on Yang Tianwen's shoulder and upon hearing this sentence, he was taken aback for a moment before reacting quickly and leading Yang Tianwen upstairs.

  Yang Tian thought to himself: "Interesting, this place doesn't even require registration or ID cards, the public security management must be terrible." But then he thought again, "This isn't Earth anyway, who cares?"

  Before entering the room, Yang Tian asked specifically: "Xiao Er, prepare a few delicate small dishes and bring them to the room." Then he closed the door.

  The room in the inn is well-decorated, giving people a refreshing and classical feel.

  "Little White, it seems that the cash on our bodies is not enough. This is a secular world, without money it's hard to take a step." Yang Tian asked himself, knowing that the tens of taels of silver on his body were basically useless.

  And so, another peaceful day passed by...

  The next morning, Yang Tianya pressed a few taels of silver on the shopkeeper and kept the room. He then took Xiao Bai out with him. Since ancient times, the fastest way to make money, without being too conspicuous, was to gamble. After wandering around for half a day, Yang Tianya finally found several gambling dens.

  Yang Tianwen didn't know how to gamble, but listening to Se Zi was still a small matter. As long as he listened for a few rounds on the side, he immediately understood. This big or small bet is very simple. Yang Tianwen just wanted to get some travel expenses, so his wins weren't too excessive. He won and lost at the big or small table, getting around 100 taels, then went to other tables to lose some more before leaving. The amount wasn't large, and he didn't cheat, so there was no trouble at all.

  Several gambling houses, Yang Tian asked each house to win a hundred or two, and after gathering enough silver tickets worth one thousand two hundred taels, he left.

  "Hmm, not bad, it seems that TV isn't all fake after all. This casino and our mobile bank are almost the same." Yang Tian asked with satisfaction, "Right, Xiao Bai? Let's go back and have a big meal."

  "Woof woof!" Xiaobai immediately let out two excited barks as soon as he heard the word "eat". He hadn't eaten his fill for several days and was feeling depressed.

  With Xiao Bai by his side and a long sword on his back, he would enter and exit the gambling dens, winning money and leaving. He was still young, looking like he was only in his early twenties. This was enough to attract attention from those who were paying attention. However, Yang Tianwen didn't care; after all, it was just a small-time hustle. Each time, he would win one or two hundred taels of silver at the big-time gambling dens that raked in gold by the day. Who would bother with such a small amount of money? Besides, he wasn't cheating, so what did he have to be afraid of?

  If it weren't for his humble nature and dislike of showing off, Yang Tianwen really wanted to try out how powerful he was. After all, Yang Tianwen was an ordinary person living in the 21st century, suddenly gaining incredible powers. Although this was the result of his hard work over the past decade, without a bit of curiosity, it wouldn't be possible. Now, Yang Tianwen was full of wonder about everything. Were the great heroes of this world as powerful as they were on TV? And how magical were those cultivators who flew high in the air?
