I Can Only Cultivate In A Game-Chapter 140: All In A Day’s Work
Victor stood frozen with his eyes fixed on the translucent jars of flickering lights—the transmigrator seeds.
Each one throbbed as though the trapped essence inside was struggling to escape. They reminded him of fireflies, except there was nothing whimsical about this.
"We need to stop them," he voiced with a low tone.
KingCamper tightened his grip on his sword. "Then let's do it loud."
KingCamper immediately deactivated the petal cloak veil, causing their mixed spiritual pressure to spread like a shockwave that cut through the smuggler's hideout.
[Technique Activated: Petal Storm Burst – Tier II]
KingCamper flung his arm out wide, summoning a swirling torrent of razor-edged petals. The air turned fragrant and deadly as the petals sliced through crates and startled smugglers.
Fang Chen activated one of his bloodline Techniques.
[Bloodline Technique Activated: Shadow Blink – Tier I]
His form vanished into a blur of distorted space, only to reappear behind a trio of smugglers.
[Technique Activated: Phantom Moon Slash ]
He moved in a crescent arc with his blade turning into afterimages as he cut cleanly through two of them before they could turn around. The third tried to retreat, but KingCamper's petals found him first.
"Intruders! Kill them!" someone shouted.
The smugglers recovered fast. Qi surged in all directions as cultivation techniques were activated, lighting up the cavern in a colorful but chaotic mess.
[Technique Activated: Stone Fist Cannon – Core Formation]
[Technique Activated: Flame Serpent Coil – Core Formation]
[Technique Activated: Ice Chain Lock – Core Formation]
Explosions rocked the chamber. Streams of elemental energy converged on Victor and KingCamper.
[Technique Activated: Petal Vortex Shield – Tier II]
A whirling shield of flower petals wrapped around KingCamper, absorbing much of the initial assault.
Victor zig-zagged between the blasts, leaving a whitish streak lingering behind each dodge.
He moved like a glowing shadow, striking surgically at weak points in their formation.
[ Technique Activated: Crescent Shadow Strike ]
Another wave of enemies fell to his curved strike, and blood sprayed across the glowing cavern floor.
"We can't let them regroup!" KingCamper yelled.
"Then let's scatter them," Victor replied.
He sensed KingCamper's next volley of petals as they prepared to launch. Twisting his fingers, he reached out with his Void Emperor Bloodline.
[ Bloodline Technique Activated: Spatial Cloak ]
The petals turned invisible and bent unnaturally mid-flight, coalescing at the center of the enemy group.
[ Technique Enhanced: Explosive Bloom – Tier III ]
BOOM!
A blinding light erupted, engulfing half the smuggler force. Crates shattered. Cultivators screamed. The shockwave lifted several off their feet and hurled them against the walls.
Victor dove into the confusion.
His blade tore through the torso of another cultivator. He ducked an incoming punch, rolled forward, and thrust his sword beneath the chin of another opponent.
His blade ripped straight through the head of the cultivator, instantly killing them.

KingCamper spun with his blade in a dancer's arc with petals erupting in timed detonations.
[ Technique Activated: Thousand Petal Cleave ]
Ten more enemies fell.
Twenty-five rogue cultivators had entered the battle. Only two remained standing—
They dropped their weapons and dropped to their knees.
Except for the sound of labored breaths coming from those still alive but injured, silence spread across the surroundings.
Victor wiped blood from his cheek with his sword still outstretched.
"Anyone else want to try their luck?"
No answer.
KingCamper gave a nod and pulled out a golden scroll from his bag.
[ Item Used: Talisman of the City Lord's Signal ]
The talisman glowed, then disintegrated into sparkles of light.
Moments later, portals of blue opened across the chamber.
Guards in black-and-silver armor stepped through with hard expressions.
The insignia of the City Lord guards burned bright on their chests.
However, Victor didn't recognise this bunch. He figured they were probably not ordinary guards. They were most likely a force created for situations such as this.
They moved with discipline and purpose.
"Secure the contraband. Apprehend all hostiles," the lead officer barked.
In moments, the smugglers were shackled, stripped of their weapons, and subdued. One guard examined a broken crate.
"Soul essence containers..."
Another found the seed jars and let out a horrified gasp. "These are... transmigrator seeds. This is forbidden in this city!"
KingCamper approached the lead officer. "Their leader wasn't here. Someone high-level runs this ring. This place was built to conceal their trade long-term."
The officer nodded with a grim expression. "We'll begin a full investigation."
As the guards worked, a new notification popped up in KingCamper's interface.
------
<[ New Quest: Chains of the Smuggler King ]>
Objective: Locate and defeat the leader of the transmigrator smuggling ring. Team Requirement: 5–10 players. Quest may be completed in city outskirts or regional domains.
-------
He let out a whistle. "Well, looks like I'm not done yet."
He turned to Victor. "You in? I could use your sword."
Victor hesitated. He thought of Elder Mo, the one year quest he still had to complete and his incomplete bloodline integration.
"I can't. Not yet. I have business here."
KingCamper nodded understandingly. "Can't blame you. But next time I pass through the city, I'm dragging you along."
"I'll hold you to it."
They clasped hands tightly.
"Take care of yourself, cheat code," KingCamper said with a grin.
"You too, flower boy."
Victor proceeded to walk through one of the portals left open by the guards and arrived at the city square.
The sky was just beginning to lighten. A blush of pale gold kissed the edges of the buildings.
Birds called in the distance and people were starting their day.
He glanced at the sky.
Another night gone. Another piece of the puzzle revealed.

[Contribution Bonus for Team Assist]
Victor smiled upon seeing the notificatione and headed back to the Violet Spring Sect.
His return was quiet and unceremonious. The air was still the same—rich with spiritual essence.
Birds chirped from the tall jade trees, and the ever-present mountain mist wrapped the landscape in a surreal calm.
But despite the peaceful atmosphere, something felt... off.
He walked toward his abode so he could log out and respawn here the next time he entered the game.
But when he pushed open the door to his quiet little dwelling, he was met with something unexpected.
A scroll lay on the table, sealed with the violet wax crest of the Disciplinary Hall.
