We’ve finally made it to Jiangnan Prefecture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the Traveling Merchants gazed at the great city at the end of the main road, his face filled with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Wang Xiao looked up and saw a colossal city stretching between Heaven and Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city stretched for countless miles from east to west. Its walls stood at least a few hundred feet tall, built from gray-green bricks that radiated a heavy, ancient aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Jiangnan Prefecture, the largest prefectural city in Yu State!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiangnan Prefecture was a hub, connecting all four corners of the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the transportation hub of Yu State, with nearly a million people passing through its gates each day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the city flowed a wide river, bustling with an endless stream of boats and horse-drawn caravans, a picture of ultimate prosperity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Yangzhou, Yu State was vast and sparsely populated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>County towns were five hundred li apart, and prefectural cities a thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the entire state, there were only about three hundred cities in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the presence of Demon Ghosts, cities had become the gathering places for humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Wang, didn’t you say you were going to settle down in Jiangnan Prefecture? Have you found a place to stay yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the Traveling Merchants turned to look at Wang Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His name was Li Youcai, and his home was right here in Jiangnan Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d been traveling north and south for many years and, with some good luck, had managed to build up a small fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xiao shook his head. \"I’m used to being spontaneous. It won’t be too late to find a place once I’m actually in Jiangnan Prefecture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youcai chuckled. \"How long do you plan on staying in Jiangnan Prefecture, Brother Wang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xiao replied, \"Once I settle down this time, I don’t plan on leaving for a while. I’ll probably stay for a few years, maybe even longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been traveling for five years now, the time passing without him even realizing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had collected an untold amount of the Ten Thousand Lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It will likely take a great deal of time to absorb it all, which will help me achieve the state of Five Viscera Concealed God and break through to my seventh Limit Breaking.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xiao couldn’t say for sure exactly how long it would take.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was in no hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, he had been using his Talent, Analyze All Things, to constantly verify his methods, so he knew he was on the right path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, he was simply accumulating power. Once he had gathered enough, the breakthrough would come naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youcai said, \"That’s perfect. A few years ago, I bought a residence for my mother to live in. Unfortunately, she passed away before she could move in, so the house has just been sitting empty. If you don’t mind, Brother Wang, I could rent it to you cheaply.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the neighborhood like?\" Wang Xiao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m settling down this time to focus on Refining the Five Viscera, so I don’t want to live in a bustling, noisy area again.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Something a little more quiet and secluded would be ideal.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s in an alleyway. There are some other merchants around, but it’s not too busy. My own home is right across from the house,\" Li Youcai explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xiao nodded. \"Alright, I’ll go take a look with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youcai smiled. \"Great. If you have any requests, Brother Wang, just let me know. I’ll definitely give you a good deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xiao smiled and said no more. He followed the crowd, strolling into Jiangnan Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city was enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To get home sooner, Li Youcai hired a horse-drawn carriage and had Wang Xiao get in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Half an hour later.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youcai finally brought Wang Xiao to the front of a house and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he opened the door to the house and led Wang Xiao inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xiao glanced around and saw that the house wasn’t very large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance opened into a main hall, with a few rooms off to the sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also a backyard, suitable for growing flowers or planting a small vegetable garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Still, the location is quite good. It won’t be too noisy.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll take it. Here, let me give you a deposit for two years, Brother Li. This should be enough, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xiao took a gold ingot from within his robes and handed it to Li Youcai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youcai’s eyes widened. \"This is far too much! This is enough for four or five years, let alone two! I’ll go find a broker right now to draw up the contract. My house is right across the way, so if you need anything, Brother Wang, just say the word.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I hadn’t expected him to be so wealthy, just casually pulling out a gold ingot like that.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This much money was more than I could earn in a whole year.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Thank you, Brother Li,\" Wang Xiao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not at all, not at all. You’re too kind, Brother Wang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After accepting the deposit, Li Youcai became even more enthusiastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took less than an hour for him to take care of all the necessary paperwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also went ahead and helped Wang Xiao procure a new set of bedding and some furniture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Wang, why don’t you come over to my place for dinner? We can consider it a welcome meal,\" Li Youcai offered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some other time, perhaps,\" Wang Xiao said. \"But I was wondering, Brother Li, do you know where I can buy some wood? I’m planning to open a wood carving shop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Of course, his wood carving wasn’t for business. It was a way to temper his mind.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The wood carvings could bear his Spiritual Will, allowing him to polish his Gang Qi until it was perfectly smooth and integrated.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Only then could he better succeed at Refining the Five Viscera and ultimately achieve the state of Five Viscera Concealed God.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? I didn’t realize you had such a skill, Brother Wang,\" Li Youcai said heartily. \"That’s simple enough. I know a few merchants in the wood business. I’ll take you to meet them tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, thank you very much,\" Wang Xiao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, Wang Xiao settled down in the alleyway known as Spring Willow Lane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Youcai introduced him to some wood merchants, he successfully opened his own wood carving shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, business wasn’t exactly booming. The number of people who visited his wood carving shop each day was few and far between.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xiao, however, didn’t mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day, without fail, he would carve a single wooden figure and place it on the display stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These carvings depicted the various people he had met over the years.\u003C\u002Fp>",1175,"2026-06-06T03:42:42.540Z",1,"novelbin.me","3a96176db345bb126417160b01a677ed544b299edd0b5787537e49aad5eed364","i-can-traverse-multiple-worlds-chapter-114","i-can-traverse-multiple-worlds-chapter-112",288,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-traverse-multiple-worlds-cover.jpg"]
