Pain, pain, pain!Piercing pain!

Yan Chuan frowned deeply, exerting all his strength to circulate.

Originally, the ’Fire Bud Crystal’ was heart-wrenching, requiring more time, more energy, and more meticulous effort to refine, each one taking a long time.

But Yan Chuan was rough and unrestrained—

"I have ’three Hao hairs’, no matter how much damage the ’Fire Bud Crystal’ inflicts on me, I can heal instantly. With the destructive fire energy of the ’Fire Bud Crystal’, it actually strengthens my physique faster and better."

"At the same time."

"The ’three Hao hairs’ emit vitality, and while healing injuries, more will disperse, which is collected and condensed into a ’True Seed’ by the ’Divine Light Scripture’, with extremely high efficiency. This is the origin of ’One True Seed a Day’."

"Moreover, I am only at Innate First Layer, and during the refining of ’Fire Bud Crystal’, not much of the fire energy and primordial qi is wasted, not effectively absorbed by the physique. This part is absorbed by the ’Nine Yang Divine Skill’, drastically increasing the speed of condensing the ’Nine Yang True Seed’ by tenfold or hundredfold. Although not as terrifying as the ’Divine Light Scripture’ with ’One True Seed a Day’, but each refining of a ’Fire Bud Crystal’ can also condense into a ’Nine Yang True Seed’. "

"I have 210 ’Fire Bud Crystals’, theoretically, I can quickly condense 210 ’Nine Yang True Seeds’!"

Physique strengthening!

Divine Light True Seed!

Nine Yang True Seed!

Under the combined creation of the ’three Hao hairs’ and ’Fire Bud Crystal’, Yan Chuan’s strength is improving at an amazing speed, like advancing a thousand miles in one day.

Seems never-ending!

"Where is the Kongsang Water God?"

Kongsang River, Water God Mansion, the soldiers respectfully greeted the ’Hundred Rivers Inspection Envoy’. The Left Envoy of Kongsang, Fu Bi, stepped forward and replied: "Lord Divine Envoy was on leave half a month ago, using up all the rest days for the year, totaling twelve days. But didn’t return when the vacation ended, not sure what delayed him, we dare not neglect, so reported it."

The Kongsang Divine Envoy established the Water God Mansion, stationed at the Kongsang River, even on vacation had to report. Not returning after vacation was a major blunder, absconding from duty, these two alone would drown Fu Manduo in trouble.

Even though privately colluded with Fu Manduo, but on matters of great importance, Fu Bi doesn’t have to cover for him at all.

"Not returned for half a month."

The Hundred Rivers Inspection Envoy, Fu Huan, frowned. He inspected the Hunxi River and all the ’Fourteen Water Gods’ of the Fu family reported to him. Fu Huan thought of Kongsang Water God, Fu Manduo: "She doesn’t seem like someone so reckless. Most likely, something unexpected happened."

Fu Huan scanned the Water Mansion, shouting: "Does anyone know why Kongsang Water God took leave? Where did he go?"

"Don’t know!"

Everyone shook their heads, claiming ignorance.

Fu Huan frowned, at this moment, Kongsang Right Envoy, Fu Kuo, quietly transmitted a secret message: "Lord Divine Envoy received information before taking leave, reportedly Lingyang Mountain God has a grandson suspected of conspiring with the Beast King in Nanyue Lake outside Nanxiong City. I guess the lord might have gone to Nanyue Lake."

Lingyang Mountain God?

Fu Huan was well aware of the list of Divine Generals of the Fu family, he even knew about their grudges and feuds with each other. He remembered that before serving as the ’Kongsang Water God’, Fu Manduo had once competed for the position of Lingyang Mountain God but unfortunately lost to the current Lingyang Mountain God, Fu Jiushi.

The two hence held a grudge.

According to that—

"Fu Manduo went to investigate Fu Jiushi’s grandson, possibly uncovering a major case, thus getting silenced by Fu Jiushi?"

Fu Huan shivered.

At this thought, he trembled all over.

Not out of fear.

But of excitement—

"Fu Manduo very likely encountered an accident."

"This case very likely involves Fu Jiushi."

"This is a major case, it will definitely be thoroughly investigated!"

By then!

How much lucrative gain would there be?

Just thinking about it is incredible!

"Let’s head to Nanyue Lake and take a look!"

...

Great Yan Hongwu, the twelfth year, February 1st.

Nanxiong City.

After dealing with the She Family Army, Yan Chuan couldn’t resist Zao Ci’s repeated requests and had to visit the Zao Family.

"I taught martial arts to the Baili Guard because I received a favor in the Baili Family Martial Cave."

"I taught martial arts to the She Family Army because, first, the She Family opened all their collections to me, and second, Brother She Bai laid out all the She Family’s treasured materials for me to choose from, ultimately allowing me to pick the invaluable ’Illusion Stone’."

Yan Chuan looked at Zao Ci, speaking frankly: "If I don’t find the materials I desire in the warehouse later, I will not be teaching martial arts to the Hurricane Guard. Otherwise, I would be ashamed to face Brother She Bai."

Yan Chuan clearly desired to teach martial arts to elite soldiers like the Baili Guard and the She Family Army, but he wasn’t pushing for a deal, instead raising his status, demanding more conditions, and reaping more benefits.

For Yan Chuan, the benefits were twofold—

One was ’Viewing Collection,’ gaining knowledge and deepening his foundation.

The other was ’Searching for Materials,’ using the resources and influence of the Baili Family, She Family, and even the Zao Family to expose more materials to match with the Miracle Items in ’Treasure Rock,’ searching for corresponding materials needed for enhancement and fusion.

Such as the ’Soul Stone’ and ’Demon Marrow Drill’ found at Iron Arm Monkey Mountain.

Such as the ’Illusion Stone’ found at the She Family.

Unfortunately, nothing was found at the Baili Family.

At this time, before coming to the Zao Family, Yan Chuan was testing the waters, intentionally or otherwise.

Zao Ci is shrewd, and he understood, knowing that Yan Chuan was worried the Zao Family would be stingy, unwilling to present rare materials, though truly unnecessary: "Brother Yan, rest assured! I have arranged all the stocks in the house and the materials that can be found in Nanxiong City and even half of the Hunxi Territory, sorted categorically, with a complete range. And, as long as Brother Yan is interested, quantity will not be an issue."

Zao Ci thumped his chest!

He spoke earnestly, not because he was inherently honest, but because Yan Chuan’s capabilities were extraordinary—

...

"In Nanxiong City, even though our Zao Family is among the first or second, why should father regard this newly ascended innate from some obscure corner, Yan Chuan, so highly?"

Zao Wan, seeing her always imposing father slightly deferential to the young Divine General, frowned slightly, feeling indignant.

"What do you know! Is Yan God General’s name something you can blurt out carelessly?" Zao Shanghao glared at his sister, reprimanded her, and then explained to this foolish sister: "Do you know Black Butcher at the Fire Cloud Restaurant? Trapped at the Peak State for many years? Even father guided him several times, yet Black Butcher still couldn’t break through. But at the Baili Family, Black Butcher listened to Yan God General’s martial arts lecture and instantly attained enlightenment, proving the Dao of Innate! Just this one case, in this Nanxiong City, who knows how many at the Peak State want to invite Yan God General for a lecture! Even the City Lord Mansion and the General Mansion have many people active, inquiring about it!"

Zao Shanghao’s tone was stern: "Father went through a lot to invite Yan God General here, and if you offend Yan God General with your reckless behavior, it won’t be me scolding you, but father might even want to cut off your tongue. Make sure your recent remarks don’t reach the ears of those at the Peak State in our family, as it could ruin their chances of attaining Innate, leaving our Zao Family with no place for you!"

"I—"

"I’ll transmit sound secretively, okay?"

Zao Wan couldn’t help but vent: "The Black Butcher attained the Dao because he accumulated enough; Yan Chuan, fine, fine, Yan God General was just at the right place at the right time. And look at the Baili Guard, with more than thirty people at the Peak State, who listened to Yan Chuan’s lecture for ten days, yet how many attained the Dao? In the twelve thousand She Family Army, there were more than a dozen at the Peak State, yet none had broken through."

Zao Wan, though absent from home recently, had returned and learned a bit about this Yan Chuan, understanding the events of Black Butcher proving the Dao.

Yan Chuan?

Just a case of a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse!

"You!"

"Outsiders don’t understand, some people don’t trust heaven or earth, they spread it like this, and you believe it?"

Zao Shanghao shook his head, compared to unrelated enthusiasts, as a core member of the Zao family, Zao Shanghao had more substantial and detailed data: "The Baili Guard and the She Family Army, a total of more than forty thousand soldiers, let’s not talk about ordinary soldiers, let’s look at the Peak State ones you mentioned—"
