Chapter 33: The Three Talents

"How dare you!" Ye Xiong was beside himself with fury. "Ye Wu already surrendered, and he still cruelly disabled both his arms. This is a blatant disregard of the rules of the competition. Unforgivable! He should be punished!"

Li Zhang Yun hurriedly chimed in. "I suggest that the mayor disqualify him, and to have the Ye clan choose a satisfactory consequence."

Xiong Bing, upon hearing this, burst out laughing. "Yes, indeed, indeed. I agree. The competition has its rules. Once a person surrenders, the other person can't injure or harm him anymore. Chu Tian should rightly be disqualified in this situation."

Zhang Li Qing's eyes widened, and he made to stand up. "Xiong Bing, you…"

Xiong Bing added, "As I know it, during the elimination rounds, the poor boy Lu Fei had already surrendered, and yet Ye Han still struck him to his death. And so, I propose that before disqualifying Chu Tian from the competition, you should disqualify Ye Han as well. Fair is fair."

Ye Xiong's gaze darkened.

His plan had backfired.

Zhang Li Qing chimed in. "Ye Wu is arrogant and egotistical. This is worthy of blame. What does the mayor think?"

On one side: Ye Xiong and Li Zhang Yun.

On the other: Xiong Bing and Zhang Li Qing.

Nan Guan Yi felt as if his head was about to explode. In the end, he waved a hand. "Forget it, forget it. Let's let all this pass. The important thing is to continue the competition."

Ye Xiong could only swallow his furious pride.

Chu Tian had humiliated the Ye clan not once, not twice, but three times. And now, in front of everyone, a prominent disciple of the Ye clan had been defeated in a matter of seconds. Ye Xiong's temper was about to go wild.

But Ye Xiong had also noticed that Chu Tian's energy didn't exceed the fifth level. This was definitely the advantage of Ye Han, who was at the peak of the sixth-level.

Ah, never mind!

Ye Han would definitely help restore the clan's honorable reputation!

"And victory goes to… Chu Tian!"

After Nan Guan Yi announced this, he sneaked a glance at Chu Tian. Nan Guan Yi could somehow subtly feel that Chu Tian hadn't revealed all his strength. This youngster was far from simple!

Second round was starting: Du Feng versus Qiu Jian!

Qui Jian was a talented fighter from a second-rate clan. His training was around fifth-level peak, and he had been around the level of the defeated Ye Wu. Du Feng was the young master of the Du clan, his expression was a facade of cool detachment, expressionless whatever the situation. No matter who the opponent was, he could defeat him in one strike, far from slovenly.

"The match starts now!"

Qiu Jian suddenly rushed in rapid advancement, a stealthy tiger pouncing for the kill, a ferocious lion hunting its prey. Every step was measured and bubbling with energy, causing the ground below him to crack into giant gaps. His body and clothes were practically glowing from the energy that was also emitting crackling sounds.

Ten Step Tiger Lion Punch!

This was an extremely mighty fighting technique!

Within ten steps, every step increased the energy by one degree. When the ten steps are completed, the energy will have had fermented to its climax, and then-- that was the time to release it as a deadly killing energy on the battlefield!

Qiu Jian clearly understood that Du Feng was strong, and so, he thought to maximize his strength all in this one hit. With a hysterical roar, he flew at him, two fists held in front, breaking through the air with the vigor of a howling brute. The frosty air brought from the momentum of the fierce punch enshrouded Du Feng within seconds, completely blocking off all paths of escape.

Du Feng didn't even counter with an attack. He let Qiu Jian finish his ten steps, wearing a trace of a disdainful smile on the corner of his lips.

"Too weak."

His cool tone broke through. Raising his left leg in a ferocious kick, he lifted his right arm for a punch, bringing with it the weight of a mountain and the vigor of fire. The fist hadn't even reached its destination, the wind of the punch had already reached it. Energy rolled about, and fire materialized.

Scorching Fist!

The fire punch instantly broke through Tiger Lion, and landed a heavy hit on the chest with a high degree of devastating offensive power, throwing Qiu Jian off the arena onto the green grass outside. His fighting style was always fast, and his punching techniques were equally fierce, drawing everyone's unwavering attention to him.

Peng!

Countless shredded bits of black fabric burst and rained down from the sky.

When Qiu Jian hit the ground, he was already thoroughly unconscious.

"And the victory goes to… Du Feng!"

One hit KO!

Everyone gazed at Du Feng with admiration and respect.

Someone who wasn't even twenty and had refined his strength to the sixth-level, most likely had a vastly broad and blindingly bright future ahead of him. He could probably break through the Realm of Awakening Souls, and turn himself into one of the most revered fighters of all time.

This was indeed, truly, the most illustrious of the Du clan disciples. He definitely wouldn't be at a disadvantage against Ye Han.

Glorious Sweep versus Scorching Fist, which one would be stronger?

The vast crowd was excited, already looking forward to this summit peak showdown.

…………

Third round: Li Tian Gang versus Xiong Yuan!

Li Tian Gang was the grandson of the Alchemist Club's President Li Zhang Yun, barely seventeen years old, but his strength was unsurpassably oppressive. His technique called the Gale Kick practically ushered him to where he was now because no one could withstand it for more than two seconds.

Xiong Yuan was the disciple of Tian Nan City's Xiong family. The Xiong clan was a military aristocracy, with a high reputation in Zhong Zhou. It had been nearly two years since they had reproduced a startlingly talented person, and even though this Xiong Yuan had a decent amount of strength, it was a far cry from Li Tian Gang's abilities.

You have to know, alchemists' connections were extensively broad.

Li Zhang Yun highly favoured this grandchild. Ever since he was a little boy, he had been instilled with the foundations of high-quality spirit panaceas and had been kept occupied with martial instructors and masters that were considered the best of the best. From a young age, he had already been destined for strength that would shock most people.

There was zero suspense.

The match began.

Li Tian Gang swiftly commenced his attack. He was obviously the speedy type of fighter. With his momentum, he geared for a Gale Kick, and it was as though a violent hurricane had suddenly swept across. Xiong Yuan couldn't even begin to prepare a stance for his attack, and he was already swept off his feet with hundreds of kicks that seemed to come at him from all four directions, and he instantly gained serious injuries.

Such speed! Such strength!

Ye Han's palm technique was fiercely tyrannical.

Du Feng's fist technique was wildly ferocious.

Li Tian Gang's kicking technique was as fast as lightning.

These three people, whether it was in their bodily refinement, or in their martial arts practice, had dominated the entire scene.

It was not difficult to predict that the champion would be one of these three without a sliver of doubt. At least… that's what people thought.

Xiong Bing, upon seeing his own disciple defeated without having the capability to even raise a hand, had a cloudy expression. But the outcome in a competition was unavoidable, and Xiong Yuan was indeed not as skilled as his opponent so there was really not that much on the line.

A few more rounds.

All these matches were rather intense. Among them, there were quite a few talented youth, but compared to The Three Talents, there was a general sense of vapidity as people spectated the other matches. Well, rules were rules. The matches had to go on.

Nan Guan Yi studied the new matchup formation list. His eyes flashed with a glimmer of unreadable emotion. "This round, Du Yun versus Chu Tian!"

Du Zhen Tian smirked.

Another easy round to win.

A head of another clan laughed. "Du Feng, Du Yun… that the Du clan is able to produce two such talented youth, truly I congratulate you."

A flash of satisfaction shone across Du Zhen Tian's face.

Du Feng and Du Yun were a pair of brothers.

Du Feng had the strongest body strength, and had already bodily refined up until the sixth-level peak. Du Yun was relatively weaker, but he was already at the standard of getting ready to get to the sixth-level peak. A mere Chu Tian shouldn't be any obstacle in his way.

Du Yun turned to his older brother. "Big brother, I'm going."

"Go and show no mercy," Du Feng said in a regal manner. "Other people might have to give face to Ye Han, but we, the Du clan, need not do so. You must perform your best to help improve the reputation of our Du clan."

"Yes, big brother!"

Du Yun floated with confidence. Chu Tian was nothing to him.

Someone no one had ever heard of - a minor character. From the way he defeated Ye Wu a while ago, he was only probably around the fifth level at most.

That this guy could offend the Ye clan to this degree, and that the Ye clan was helpless to retaliate, was the biggest joke of the century! Today, I should eliminate this headache of the Ye clan, Du Yun thought.

Chu Tian walked up the stage accordingly.

Du Yun lightly leapt up into the air on the tips of his toes and landed gently on the stage as a butterfly would. With his delicate posture and graceful pace, it immediately attracted the crowd's cheers.

This feeling of having a million eyes solely on him, this was what Du Yun lived for.

"Chu Tian, let's stop it here." He used a pitying gaze on Chu Tian. "I'm not the useless piece of wood that Ye Wu is. You're not my opponent and I'm disinclined to fight you anyway. I'm going to count to three, you could just head down yourself, or else, bear the consequences. Three…"

Chu Tian studied him with a ruminating glance. A faint smile. "Ten moves."

Du Yun was taken aback. "You think you can survive ten moves against me? What a joke! I can decimate you in one!"

Chu Tian shook his head solemnly. "You misunderstood. What I mean is, I will close my eyes and let you perform ten moves. If you can touch my clothes, I'll surrender and consider myself lost."

Letting him… ten moves?

And with eyes closed!

Everyone was stunned.

Chu Tian's defeat of Ye Wu was, for many, merely an underestimation of an opponent by Ye Wu. Besides, comparing Ye Wu's strength to Du Wu'a was like comparing clouds to clay.

And Chu Tian was going to close his eyes and let Du Yun perform ten moves?

And just touching his clothes would mean he lost?

Even the most conspicuous Three Talents wouldn't dare say such things!

Du Zhen Tian's face was ashen. Chu Tian's arrogance and confidence was a slap to the Du clan's face. He stood up and boomed, "Enough! What are you waiting for? End this fight, don't waste time on such rubbish!"

"As you wish!"

The clan head had spoken.

Du Yun did not dare take his time or be negligent. Clenching his right hand into a fist, he released his energy, and congealing them into a hit directed straight at Chu Tian's chest.

Heart Gouge Hand, one of the deadliest moves. Using this technique from the very start of a battle meant that he wanted to use this as a one hit KO move, and from then on, forever defeat the ridiculous insults of this Chu Tian.

What made everyone hold their breaths in disbelief, however, was that Chu Tian really closed his eyes.

That biting cold wind from the claw was but a second away, when Chu Tian elegantly stepped sideways by a few millimetres. He coolly avoided the attack, and Du Yun hadn't even managed to touch a single fibre on Chu Tian's clothing.

What?

What's happening?

Du Yun didn't hit Chu Tian, and he almost tripped himself. His face was the shade of a ripe tomato, and his eyes shone with blatant disbelief.

"Damn it!"

"I don't believe this."

Du Yun steadied himself and attacked with another move. The result was as before. Chu Tian looked like he wasn't in any real danger, as he could dodge it with little effort.

"Two moves down," Chu Tian reminded him helpfully.

Du Yun's rage flared up. He threw a series of fast punches, shadows of densely packed fists, thunderous hurricanes aimed at his opponent. Let's see him dodge that, he thought, subsumed with fury.

There was no extra movement.

No miscalculation.

Like a graceful butterfly with the weaving movements so natural to those who easily navigate through the thorny thickets of a forest, using the tiniest fractional movements and the most relaxed stance, Chu Tian flawlessly avoided the attacks again and again.

Everyone was stupefied.

This kind of dancing performance, with a kind of beauty in his stance, it was art. There was no other way to describe it.

Had they not witnessed it for themselves, it was hard for them to believe that there could be something like this on this world.

Chu Tian was only using strength at the fifth-level, and yet a sixth-level-refined opponent could do nothing to him.

"Intricate!"

"Intricate Realm!"

Nan Guan Yi, Ye Xiong, Du Zhen, and all the others stood up.

Everyone had varying shades of astonishment splashed across their faces. "Intricate Realm" was not a refining level. It was a one in a million level, a level that belonged to the level of spirits and souls.

They, the Soul Awakening refined warriors hadn't even grasped the obscure meaning of Intricate...

How could a boy like that possess it??

It was almost too absurd to imagine!

Chapter 34: Diamond Vein Slashing Finger

Why are so many talents in the mainland that can overcome extremely difficult challenges?

That's because on the foundation of Strength Refining, these talents have superhuman qualities. This is an unusual innate gift. It could be a superhuman intelligence, or superior makeup, or it could be because they master the rare Spirit Realm.

Intricate Realm, how can it be the Intricate Realm?

Spirits and souls, along with the flesh and senses, dovetail together perfectly. They are flawlessly synchronized. And from this, come to fruition the rare and amazing ability to control.

One millimeter can be as clear and distinct as one mile. Every whisper of breeze can be heard. One can perfectly seize the exact change in every strand of energy and every microscopic change in temperature. Every pore closing and opening, each strip of muscle's movement, all could be entirely and completely controlled.

This was the legendary Intricate Realm!

Someone who has mastered the Intricate Realm's obscure meaning can easily and without effort control the attacking style and intention of his opponent. Furthermore, in the practicing of alchemy, he would have an extremely high success rate. It was beyond what degree of perfection normal humans could obtain.

There was practically no one in Tian Nan City, including the big shots making appearances in the event, who had yet to master the obscurity of the Intricate Realm.

And someone who had no discernible background or name for himself actually did it! What kind of impossibility was this? If he were to go to Zhong Zhou, he would definitely be the cream of the crop - to be fought over by all the major clans.

Chu Tian closing his eyes to let Du Yun have his ten moves wasn't brash or insolent, it was self-confidence.

Du Yun had never encountered such a mysterious matter. Without changing tactics, he forged ahead with a few more bullheaded punches, all to no avail. The opponent easily evaded them and his own direction was thoroughly thrown off.

"Ten moves is up."

"It's my turn."

Chu Tian congealed his energy on his fingertips. The five tips of his hand slowly glowed a pale gold. He grasped the right arm of Du Yun, and with a squeeze, energy flowed out.

As if he had been pierced with a dagger, it went straight through his flesh, rawly cutting through his meridian network. Du Yun's entire arm lost its strength, as though it were decapitated.

Chu Tian's right hand had two fingers that were slowly turning pale gold. These flashed out in an attack with the force of a hurricane. Upon touching Du Yun's body, each finger released a column of energy as well-crafted as a dagger strike.

Diamond Vein Slashing Finger!

One finger for each vein!

It had its foundation in martial arts...

But it was extremely powerful and lethal.

Within the space of a breath, Du Yun had lost his entire body's energy. Chu Tian lightly pushed a palm against him, and Du Yun, as though a piece of paper, floated out several meters before crashing on the ground.

"Aaaah!"

"I don't believe this, it's impossible!"

Du Yun stood up howling. He switched onto his energy, but with a startled realization that the meridian veins of his body had been rawly ruptured, and he couldn't produce even an ounce of energy. Never mind battling, he couldn't even stand up properly.

What… what kind of martial arts is this!

Only heaven knew that there was such a tricky and fierce martial skill among them!

Finished, finished. What is this!

Chu Tian looked at Du Yun, who was about to crumble. He beamed at him. "Your meridian veins are slashed, if you don't seek medical attention within the minute, or if you attain further injuries, you could become a vegetable."

"You-you-you…" Du Yun was in a daze.

Chu Tian dusted his hands, his face placid. "I'm disinclined to fight you anymore. I'm going to count to three, you could just head down yourself, or else, bear the consequences."

What familiar words!

Chu Tian had returned the exact words back to him, sealed package and all.

This was not only a slap to Du Yun's face, it was a slap to Du Zhen Tian's face!

Du Zhen Tian's face was completely red, obviously boiling with fury. That kind of intimidating fury reduced the people around to him to the tiniest of breaths. There was a savage desire to kill as he looked upon Chu Tian.

What menace!

No words needed to be spoken!

This kind of desire to kill would frighten a smaller being into wetting his pants.

Chu Tian was completely indifferent. He was completely focused on enunciating every word in his countdown: "Three… two… one!"

"Wait!"

"Please don't!"

"I'm leaving, I give up!"

"Please don't cripple me, I don't want to become a cripple!"

Pu-tong! Du Yun kneeled down. Under the gaze of a million, he slowly crawled off the arena. He was thoroughly disillusioned and disheartened. Chu Tian was too scary. Better than becoming a vegetable, he would rather choose to submit to the temporary humiliation!

But still, this would create a devastating, psychological after effect. Even if the meridian veins recovered completely, he would be hard-pressed to improve greatly.

Chu Tian wasn't a shallow petty person.

But still, someone who constantly bullies and insults others, will attract the insult and bullying of others.

This kind of guy wasn't worth going easy on.

"Bastard!" Du Zhen Tian bellowed. "Egotistical kid! How dare you shame our Du clan. I want you to die!"

"You're wrong, I didn't shame you," Chu Tian calmly countered. "You brought shame upon yourself."

Brought shame upon yourself!

Brought shame upon yourself!

With these four words, each word was a strike to the heart!

And yet, he was right. Unarguably right.

Chu Tian, by saying this in front of millions and completely dishonoring the Du Clan, was definitely someone not afraid of dying. This unknown person, from now on, was destined to become the center of attention in Tian Nan City.

Nan Guan Yi was stunned into silence.

What did this youth have to be so completely fearless?

Xiong Bing nodded indulgently. "Haha, lofty and unyielding character, I like it!"

Zhang Li Qing had a faint smile on the corner of his lips. "Of course. This is Chu Tian's personality. If he was fearful, he wouldn't be Chu Tian."

Nan Guan Yi looked at Xiong Bing and Zhang Li Qing with a curious glance. Strange, but it seemed these two guys were fairly familiar with Chu Tian.

At this moment, Du Zhen Tian felt like his arteries were about to explode in flames and practically about to blow smoke from all over his bodily cavities. Had it not been for the presence of the mayor, he would already have been up on stage, personally crushing this guy in front of millions.

Ye Xiong and Li Zhang Yun exchanged a look - a mirrored look of grave fear.

Chu Tian was more evil than anyone had ever imagined. Someone who was only sixteen or seventeen and had already attained Intricate Realm - such kind of person was unheard of, and had been unheard of for centuries. It was either crippling him for the Ye clan, or killing him as soon as possible. Who cared about offending Zhang Li Qing and Xiong Bing!

Even though Chu Tian's performance was remarkably outstanding...

Chu Tian's display was nonetheless at the fifth-level of bodily refinement quality. But because he had the ability to use the Intricate Realm, that he could easily challenge and triumph over someone with the bodily refinement of the sixth level was not really a surprise.

The three popular choices for champion were still Ye Han, Li Tian Gang, and Du Feng.

All three of them were bodily refined at the sixth-level peak, almost more than half a foot within the seventh-level. Their energy were more than double than that of Du Yun's, and were each of the clans' most prized and main focus for training, and so their martial arts skills were top-notch as well.

Whether in speed or strength, Chu Tian would definitely not have it easy.

A few more rounds of matches.

Ye Han, Li Tian Gang, and Du Feng were absolute in their dominance, calmly and easily sweeping through the opponents, before surfacing as the unsurprising winners.

And so, these three, Ye Han, Li Tian Gang, and Du Feng emerged as the three most eye-catching talents. Along with a mysterious Chu Tian, the four of them successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Finally, the deciding matches were about to begin!

Tian Nan City's Talent Competition varied from normal competitions. The competition was not on a one-on-one basis because true talents were not only supposed to fight based on raw strength. They needed intelligence, foresight, luck, and most importantly, the flexibility to adapt to challenges.

Based on previous competitions...

The last stage was a mixed fight.

Three or four people in one arena, it wasn't one on one, and it tested the ability of the fighter's' ability to extend themselves to a bigger picture.

The judges would then judge based on each fighter's performance, and rank them accordingly. Of course, the ranking was never enough to satisfy the other contestants, and they would challenge the ranking.

The four people were resting below the stage.

Waiting for the beginning of the deciding match.

Ye Han stared at Chu Tian with eyes that could burn holes through steel. "I never thought you'd actually make it into the finals. I stick to my word though. Are you prepared for me to shatter your bones into ash?"

Chu Tian chuckled. "My bones are very hard. You? I'm afraid you won't even be able to bend them."

Du Feng sauntered over, his eyes shining with a peculiar expression. "Chu Tian. You harmed my brother, ruined my clan, and gained the eternal hatred of Du clan. You have to pay the price, are you sure about that?"

Chu Tian was taken aback. "That guy is your brother?"

"Yes, Du Yun is my brother," Du Feng said, crossing his arms. He thought he had scared Chu Tian enough. With a rough tone, he continued, "But I'll give you a chance. Join Du clan, use the power you showed earlier for the Du clan, and redeem yourself! Then maybe I'll consider forgiving you."

Up to here, he looked at Ye Han. "I could even protect you in the deciding match. I hope you have enough self-awareness. With your strength, in this deciding match, there is no possibility of getting out alive. If you want to keep your life, you'd better depend on my protection."

Ye Han looked annoyed. "Du Feng, you're probably overextending yourself, aren't you?"

"We should just kill this guy and get it over with. Why are we wasting time talking with him?"

Li Tian Gang was filled with resentful envy towards Chu Tian.

That he could master the Intricate Realm's obscure meaning at such a young age, no matter who won today's competition, he would surely become the center of celebrated attention. Li Tian Gang had been babied and prized by his grandfather since birth, and thus had cultivated a humongous ego. How could he stand idly by when a mysterious nobody suddenly came out and seemingly concealed him in his shadow?

Kill!

Must kill!

No matter what Ye Han and Du Feng were thinking, Li Tian Gang only had one thought on his mind: Chu Tian must be eliminated!

Tian Nan City definitely could not have a second Nan Gong Yun.

This creature who was more powerful than he.

Unacceptable!

Li Tian Gang would not have it.

These three guys scheming away, they really take me for some innocent lamb waiting to be slaughtered? Ha, they should measure their abilities first.

Without saying anything out loud, he closed his eyes to meditate in recuperation, clearing his mind to a peaceful blank.

Chapter 35: Madman Chu Tian

A few more minutes before the deciding match!

The final match was a mixed battle format, increasing its difficulty by leaps and bounds. Here, it was not enough to consider the strength of the contestant but also the contestant's ability to size up the situation at the drop of a hat.

"The match everyone has been looking forward to is about to begin," a middle-aged judge announced, "but this year's big deciding match will be different from previous years!"

The entire crowd exploded in noise as everyone turned to each other in confusion.

What? The rules have changed?

The judge continued his announcement. "Someone everyone knows will be joining these four youths, so as to add a new and exciting variable in this deciding match. This is also a challenge and test to our four talented youths.

A voluminous roar from the crowd.

Now this was exciting!

The four young people who were aiming for champion already brought a lot of excitement with it, and now that there was going to be a new addition on stage: the possibilities were endless!

The judge boomed, "He is last year's champion, the talent who left Tian Nan City, who got into the prestigious Zhong Zhou College, and within ONE year, was able to surpass tens of thousands of students in his astounding ranking of 328! Please welcome, Luo Yu!"

Upon hearing the name, the crowd went wild.

Last last year's winner was the monster Nan Gong Yun, and last year's winner was the talent Luo Yu.

Luo Yu wasn't as simple as he was made out to be. He had breezed through last year's competition, practically with the championship handed to him on a silver plate. From then, he went on to Zhong Zhou, and disappeared without news. It was more than a surprise that he was back now.

Sou!

A body clad in white landed on the arena from at least ten meters in height, as if a miracle dropping down from heaven, raising a cloud of dust surrounding the place he stood.

"Luo Yu!"

"Luo Yu!"

"Luo Yu!"

People began cheering and howling his name.

This was a twenty year-old youth in a stark white martial uniform. He looked impressive, standing out within any crowd, and there was a dragon eagle's insignia on his spotless robe.

The insignia of a dragon hawk was the representation of Zhong Zhou College!

Luo Yu was indeed a student at the prestigious college. According to many, in the outer courtyard, Luo Yu was Rank 128. One should know that the entire school had twenty or so thousand students!

Even within Zhong Zhou college, he was an impressive talent!

Ye Xiong, Li Zhang Yun, and Du Yun were slightly ashen-faced. Ye Xiong turned to the mayor with a stony expression. "Mayor, everyone's allowed to join only once. Luo Yu was last year's champion, why is he jumping in the mix?"

Nan Guan Yi let out a helpless laugh. "Please, please, don't get angry. This is not my decision. This is the decision of those above me. As you know, the Luo Clan in Zhong Zhou…"

Ye Xiong seemed slightly appeased.

If this were true, Nan Guan Yi wasn't to blame. Nan Guan Yi was only the mayor of Tian Nan City. The Nan Guan clan in the Zhong Zhou district wasn't really that strong. Even if Nan Guan Yi was the mayor of a city, he was strictly controlled by higher and more powerful forces at all times.

Nan Guan Yi said, "Luo Yu's identity is merely that of a guest in this competition. More likely is that the clan wants to give him another chance in the limelight. But the real ranking for the champion this year will definitely still be among the four of you. Luo clan has already emigrated from Tian Nan City, what they want is a name, and not the benefits after the match."

And so it was so.

Luo Yu stood in the very center of the arena, his two hands behind his back. He swept a glance at across the four finalists, before laughing out loud. "So this year's quality is only so-so. Looks like Tian Nan City's low on talent. Don't waste my time anymore, you can all attack together."

The crowd was filled with furious hushed whispers.

This guy was too wild. It was completely belittling Tian Nan City. One against four??

Ye Han, Du Feng, and Li Tian Gang's faces flashed with a brief look of smouldering fury. But they had to admit, Luo Yu's strength was strong indeed. For someone who could enter the top 200 of the outer courtyard at Zhong Zhou College, he would probably have a body refinement at around the seventh-level. If they tried to battle him one on one, they honestly wouldn't be at his level.

Ye Han stood forward. "Before the fighting begins, I want to remove the small fry who aren't worthy of being in this competition."

Of course Luo Yu knew what he was getting at. He glanced at Chu Tian and waved a hand. "Fine. This trash isn't worthy of fighting me, and I know you have some old grudges to settle. Is two minutes enough?"

"One minute is enough!"

"Okay, hurry up then!"

From the expressions and tones of the two people, it felt like Chu Tian was a slice of fish waiting to be chopped up on the board.

Chu Tian lightly blew out a sigh. Why are there so many idiots on this world?

Ye Han's face shone with a smile of excitement and cruelty.

Finally!

Ever since Chu Tian had instructed Nan Gong Yun to humiliate him, Ye Han had been obsessed with getting revenge. But because Chu Tian had the protection of Zhang Li Qing, Nan Gong Yun, and Xiong Tian Yan, Ye Han hadn't been able to avenge himself.

But everything was different now!

Today was the Tian Nan Summit Meeting. Under the eyes of millions, who dared interfere? Chu Tian had once humiliated him in front of a street full of people, and now he would avenge himself, and humiliate him a million times that in front of the city!

"You're only a slave!"

"A slave is a slave! You'd never be able to wash that off, never in your entire life!"

Ye Han intentionally raised his voice. Everyone's faces were splashed with shock. This person, this talented youth… who possessed the Intricate Realm… was a slave?

A mere slave! How could he be so bold?

A mere slave! And he dare stand toe to toe with Ye Han?

Ye Han continued jabbing him verbally. "Maybe you've worked hard to be free of your shameful past identity, but today, the contract is in my hands! If you don't want to admit it, I'll help you admit it today!"

Chu Tian was calm and collected. He gave a slight smile. "I've noticed something… people who are lesser in ability are almost always usually the noisiest. In having the talent of chattering, I am truly no match for you."

Ye Han was unable to swallow his fury.

He had planned to provoke and upset Chu Tian, to make him lose his cool, and invoke fear within him, or even just make him angry! But why? Why could he be so calm? That deep gaze like a well without waves? Even with a hint of ridicule, as if watching a funny monkey?

In the end, the person who completely lost his rationale was still Ye Han himself.

"Bastard slave! Die!"

Ye Han's energy flared up along with his temper and his entire gown flapped up with a pa-pa noise as his energy rushed through his two arms, giving off an impressive, intimidating image.

One hit: Glorious Sweep!

Glorious Sweep!

Ye Han, under the cloud of anger and humiliation, was actually able to surpass the power of his usual Glorious Sweep move. Even Luo Yu showed a brief, slight frown. This kind of frightening power... never mind against a slave, even when used against a person of Luo Yu's level, it would surely have some effect. Power straight from the soul!

Li Zhang Yun was stunned. "Young master is truly a genius in martial arts. He's already mastered the quintessential essence of the Glorious Sweep! He's without opponent now!"

Ye Xiong nodded, his face radiating with pleasure. Chu Tian was good for something after all, having unintentionally helped Ye Han improve in his martial arts spiritual training!

The Meng Qing Wu sisters began shouting. "He's still concentrating his energy! You can still attack now, quickly! Before it's too late."

Chu Tian remained motionless, allowing his opponent to finish gathering his energy.

Was he shocked into inaction?

Xiong Bing and Nan Yi Guan furrowed their brows in concern. Looks like Chu Tian had his work cut out for him!

Zhang Li Qing began concentrating his energy. Should he need it, even if it meant breaking the rules of the competition, he would personally see to it that he interfered. After all, Chu Tian did save his life.

"Hahaha!"

"Let's see how you can block me."

Ye Han's power reached its peak, having successfully gathered sufficient amount of energy. With a heavy sweep of his arms, he aimed his power straight at Chu Tian. Never mind flesh and blood, even steel and stone would have a hard time coming out of this attack in one piece.

Chu Tian's surrounding glowed white with pure shining energy. The energy surged in a split second, swelling at the blink of an eye. And the body refinement was… at the peak of the sixth level!

Chu Tian had been hiding his true strength!

Within a short few days, Chu Tian had depended on alchemic panaceas to rapidly increased his own strength. Based on rank, he was no weaker than any of the other three. He had only been suppressing his energy and training after all!

Ye Han glowered. "So what if you've been hiding your true strength? I refuse to believe you can dodge this! Die!"

Chu Tian bended both knees and shot forward like a lethal arrow, using a destructive, almost savage power against Ye Han.

One leg!

Only one leg!

And all the collected energy dissipated!

All the intimidating power-- extinguished!

PENG! Ye Han incinerated the rock drum with a hole a man could fit through. This simple move defeated Ye Han.

Someone who had been blinded by fury just seconds earlier was now lying on the ground in a supine position. He wouldn't have even known what was happening, much less how he was defeated.

"Didn't you say you were going to crush my bones to dust in front of everyone?"

"Didn't you say you were going to enslave me?"

"Did you not call me trash?"

"Who is the real piece of trash?"

Ye Han had completely lost his energy to defend himself. His face shone with fear. No matter how fast his mind raced, he couldn't wrap his mind around how a mere slave like Chu Tian could possibly defeat him and have such powerful battle strength.

Chu Tian's punch was like a wild tornado wreaking devastation, shattering every inch of Ye Han's bones. Didn't Ye Han want to break every one of Chu Tian's bones?

And the result was broken bones in his own body.

How ironic.

This arrogant, despotic, egotistic Ye Han had become a human punching bag, a toy, in Chu Tian's hands.

"Bastard! I will kill you! I will ruin you!"

Ye Xiong leapt up, releasing a crazy amount of energy.

Chu Tian laughed loudly. "If I kill him, you'll kill me. If I don't kill him, you'll still kill me. I'd be better off dragging someone with me then."

"You dare??"

Ye Xiong released a muddy golden energy glow, and a large wolf materialized behind him, sending intimidating chills up everyone's spine.

Don't dare?

What a joke!

There's nothing I can't do in this place!

Ye Han felt the deadly lethality. In a strangled voice, he choked out loudly, "No, mercy! Mercy!"

Chu Tian didn't even stop to think before bringing down an arm on Ye Han's skull. Without so much as a squeak, Ye Han died on the spot.

Ye Xiong almost blacked out. He had a lot of sons, but the most useful and the one with the most potential was Ye Han. And now that Chu Tian had killed him with one hit, how could he not fly into a rage?

"Die!"

A dull golden energy molded into a gigantic palm, hurling towards the arena.

The attack of someone who has refined Awakening Soul Realm!

Body Refinement Realm was completely no match.

HONG!

In mid-air came a wild blast, and a majestic and frosty snow white werewolf appeared out of nowhere. In an instant, the temperature plummeted and the wind died down. Xiong Bing's tall and sturdy body directly blocked Ye Xiong, and one punch from the former killed the latter's attack mid-trajectory.

Ye Xiong roared, "You! Xiong! How dare you block me?"

Xiong Bing laughed out loud, three hearty ringing guffaws. "Your son is a gem, does this mean that other people's sons are nothing? Ye Han is cruel and brutal. He's been terrorizing Tian Nan City's citizens, I've long since grown weary of it!"

Li Zhang Yun stood out, a huge verdant python energy spirit released beside him. "I will help you kill this thief."

"President Li, we haven't come across each other like this in quite a few years. Let me have everything you got!" Zhang Li Qing released his energy, a fierce and fearsome eagle that soared high above the clouds, its imposing manner diffusing throughout the blue dome of heaven. "Soaring Sky Eagle! Destroy!"

The eagle shot down with impressive speed.

The python was shattered on the spot in the talons of the eagle.

Li Zhang Yun's expression drained of color. He never thought that Zhang Li Qing would have a higher cultivation level than himself.

Actually, Zhang Li Qing was no weak fighter. It was just that he never battled with anyone all these years, reserving his energy and strength mainly for suppressing powerful toxins.

Some two days ago, Xiong Tian Yan had produced an antidote, and Zhang Li Qing reduced the poison by seventy or eighty percent. After his energy was liberated, his body returned to normal, and it seemed like it even improved.

Several Awakened Soul Cultivators immediately raised their crossbows and swords.

Everything was unfolding at an alarming pace.

The crowd was stunned. They had never seen this kind of scene happen before.

It was only a small spark, only a small Chu Tian, only a nameless youth!

Great. What started off as the battle among the young ones became a showdown among Awakened Soul Cultivators.

The scene was utterly out of control.

"Hahaha!"

"The winner hasn't been announced for the final match yet!"

He shouted towards Luo Yu, Du Feng, and Li Tian Gang loftily. After Chu Tian killed Ye Han, he ignored the pressure of countless Awakened Soul Cultivator fighters. He maintained his brassy attitude, not the least bit scared of anything.

"Don't waste my time anymore...

"You three pieces of trash...

"You three can attack together!"

This was a resounding slap to their faces!

A heavy and juicy smack across the cheek!

Luo Ye's eyes could shoot daggers. Weren't these his own words earlier?

Chu Tian faced the threat of a few Soul Awakening fighters.

His life was practically hanging by a thread.

In this scene, if it were anybody else, they probably wouldn't even be able to stand on their two feet.

Other things aside, against the threat of an Awakened Soul Cultivator , the Body Refinement Cultivator was simply no match.

Chu Tian didn't care. He completely ignored them, still with a uniquely arrogant attitude, challenging the three talents.

The gratification!

The audacity!

The hot-bloodedness!

Like a brilliant shooting star sweeping across a barren sky, beaming light across the entire skyscape of Tian Nan City. His brazen arrogance, his ferocity, his frivolity, his lofty and casual attitude: each one was like an explosion that shook up the entire world of his audience.

Chu Tian!

Chu Tian!

Chu Tian!

Like the eruption of a volcano, his name filled the air. Countless people began screaming and shouting and chanting this name.

Someone who used to be unknown, even someone lowly and looked down upon, was sweeping the entire competition! He had publicly looked down upon the talents of Tian Nan City, and shot stunned surprise into the hearts of his viewers.

This was a world where strength was king.

See here: someone like Ye Han, who was cruel and vile, but had god-given talent and strength, was still able to win innumerable followers and respect. What more of Chu Tian? He who was of lowly, even base, status and background would definitely win the encouraging hearts of the masses especially since they could relate to him.

There was no sliver of doubt...

That whoever the winner of today's match was...

This name would forever be remembered and celebrated by the citizens of Tian Nan City!

Chapter 36: One Versus Three!

Amidst the current flared up and lively atmosphere of the Summit Meeting, Luo Yi slowly clenched his fist, his face the ruddy shade of pig liver.

Damn it all!

This was supposed to be his stage!

And now it seemed like Chu Tian was the sole star of the show!

What was the use of training so hard for one whole year at Zhong Zhou College? Today was supposed to be the day he shined, using Tian Nan City as his stage to gain influence and reputation, so as to establish a solid foundation.

And out of nowhere came this Chu Tian!

Someone more powerful than him!

This boiled Luo Yu's blood.

"This person is wildly cruel and reckless. We cannot have him remain here." Luo Yu's brain was filled only with envy and hate. "What say we join forces, and avenge Brother Ye?"

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

Du Feng and Li Tian Gang didn't even have to think before blurting out the same thing. Of course this wasn't really revenge for Ye Han. What a ridiculous notion. Ye Han's death was a good thing. But still, Chu Tian was too scary, someone even more powerful and fearsome than that legendary talent, Nan Gong Yun. If they didn't eliminate him now: when?

They had to kill him!

The three of them together would definitely do the job!

"Me first!"

Li Tian Gang shot up towards the air with a loud shout, sweeping his leg in preparation. His energy metamorphosed into a powerful green leg, as if a whip, or as if a blade. It struck the floor, splitting the cement apart.

"Die!"

Li Tian Gang's attack hadn't even landed, both of his feet spinning wildly in the air as if a tornado. His attack was fast and complicated, making even the most observant onlookers cross eyes in confusion.

Hurricane Leg Skill, fast as wind, dense as rain. It had the sweeping force of a thousand military men.

Li Tian Gang used the vertical momentum from above to the ground, while Du Feng rushed head-on, his two fists balled with bubbling energy.

Scorching Fist!

After seeing Chu Tian's cavalier attitude, Du Feng knew that Chu Tian could not be controlled. Furthermore, he had killed Ye Han of the Ye clan, which meant that the grudge was an impassable, eternal one. If he extended any more olive branches, he would incur the wrath of Ye Xiong.

So… it would be easier to kill him.

As Du Feng and Li Tian Gang rushed to attack from the front, Luo Yu had taken stealthy steps to appear behind Chu Tian, obviously getting ready to launch a sneak attack on him.

The audience began protesting loudly.

"Three against one?"

"You're all shameless!"

"How despicable!"

Chu Tian, using his hyper-sensitive insight, was easily able to evade the onslaught of the two attackers in front of him. Facing upwards, he let off a long and loud whistle. "No grace or style in your moves, and such a weak strength, and you wanted to protect me during the match?"

Du Feng bounded over with an outstretched fist, fired up by his humiliation and fury. "Block it if you dare!"

"Why not?" Chu Tian's right arm began glowing with a white-hot energy. His entire arm began flushing red and his pores began releasing translucent white steam, having gathered an even larger amount of energy. "Get outta my sight!"

His fist as speedy as an arrow!

Its power like a bullet from a gun!

Fist Smashing the Nine Heavens!

This kind of fist was a common foundational martial arts move, but for thousands of years, nobody had been able to improve upon it. It was fairly easy to master, with a low speed and low power. It was a low-level, preliminary move martial arts fighters had to master.

Double Fist Collision!

Frightful columns of smoke and fire began spewing everywhere, shattering and raising rocks in proximity to mid-air, surrounding them from the audience's view. A loud cry sounded out from within, before a body was thrown out, crashing like a rag doll around ten or meters outside the arena. It was Du Feng's body.

His right arm had several bones jutting out, and it seemed like the distinction between flesh and blood was gone.

One hit KO!

Officially defeated in front of everyone!

Chu Tian jumped towards Li Tian Gang next, his leg as if piercing through the very fabric of the universe. And like an unavoidable whip, it struck Li Tian Gang square on the chest.

HONG!

Li Tian Gang's body, as if a nail being hammered, crashed through the ground. His body was already half inside the arena stage. His bones were probably mostly broken.

"And you're arrogant enough to want to kill me with only that little bit of energy you have?"

"And you're absurd enough to be called talents with only that little bit of stamina?"

Chu Tian's booming voice reverberated through everyone's hearts.

Ye Han, Du Feng, Li Tian Gang. It didn't matter, because...

One move!

One move was all it took!

Everyone who had initially been speculated as the strongest of the talents was like a stray dog or an old chicken in front of Chu Tian. They couldn't even withstand one hit.

At this moment, Luo Yu took a slim chance. He withdrew a three-feet frosty blade from within the folds of his robe. A bright, sharp, metallic gleam under the sun revealed it to be a flexible sword. It bit Chu Tian across the back viciously as if it were a metallic and venomous snake.

"Weapons aren't allowed in the Grand competition!"

"This guy's cheating!"

Three against one was already unfair, and now Luo Yu was using weapons? With such a blatant disregard for the rules of the competition, was the Talents competition still the Talents competition?

"Hurricane Sword!"

Luo Yu's energy was focused wholeheartedly on his flexible sword and from the very tip, it released a large net made of silver sword essence. Even if what was in front was a sturdy metal lump, it would have been punctuated with several holes within milliseconds!

Chu Tian's heart stopped beating for a fraction.

This flash of silver from the sword's shadow, every column of translucent sword energy… tangible and intangible, interweaving in an indistinguishable mass, impossible to separate!

His one year at Zhong Zhou college wasn't for nothing. His energy far surpassed those three before him combined.

Hyperfocus!

Chu Tian had already initiated the mode of getting into "Hyperfocus. A million things happening all at once, and everything was slowing down for Chu Tian. Even the movement of a millimetre could be seen clearly by him. He calmly observed each ray of light from the sword, studying them. He allowed his body to dart forward, backward, all in quick and successful evasion.

SOU SOU SOU!

A few icy shadows of the blade brushed by him. One of them scratched him across the chest, but it was only a shallow scratch on the skin.

Luo Yu's eyes widened.

He could even block this?

Chu Tian was obviously not just any plain demon. He would definitely have to be killed.

"Die!"

Chu Tian hadn't even had the chance to steady himself when another series of sharp jabs flew at him.

Too dangerous!

Luo Yu's body already had the strength of realms. Whether it was energy, speed, or power, Chu Tian wasn't his opponent. Moreover, Luo Yu had a blade in his hand. If any blade of sword energy hit his body, Chu Tian would definitely die.

"You're dead!"

"Wind Sculpting Thrust!"

Luo Yu wasn't giving any chances to Chu Tian. His flexible sword was brimming with energy, turning it into a sword as stiff and straight as a normal one. Like a meteor out for blood, it shot at Chu Tian with unbelievable speed.

The crucial moment between life and death...

Chu Tian closed his eyes.

What? Could Chu Tian be powerless in defending himself, and was already making preparations for his death?

The moment that Chu Tian closed his eyes, a strange energy slowly began to materialise. It was as if a more powerful and superhuman sense organ was being opened. Even though he had his eyes closed, he could feel everything around him.

The flow of the breeze, the changes in the air, the microscopic movements of materials, the frequency of energy, and even the emotions of every single one of the people present. A million things, a million beings. Everything, from the spirits to the material, he could feel them, and he could understand them as easily as the back of his palm.

Nan Guan Yi noticed this change. His eyes flew wide open, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

Heart's Eye!

Definitely!

This feeling was Heart's Eye!

For sure!

Heart's Eye and Hyperfocus were the same, they are both realms belonging to the souls and spirits.

This kind of spiritual realm had no direct relation to strength, but in them, they had the power only countless could beg and dream of, but could never even come close to achieving.

Heart's Eye Realm was even higher in power than Hyperfocus. It was said that there were only a handful of people Zhong Zhou who could master Hyperfocus, but within the entire kingdom, no one could initiate Heart's Eye.

But Chu Tian did it!

And he wasn't even eighteen!

He wasn't even schooled in the Realm of the Awakened Soul!

Tian Nan was a small town. Even though people would sometimes hear urban legends about Heart's Eye, no one had ever seen nor could ever see it for themselves, and only Nan Yi Guan from Nan Guan clan felt it.

This boy's future was limitless!

Nan Yi Guan didn't want to interfere, but when Chu Tian initiated Heart's Eye, he changed his mind. No matter what: he had to protect Chu Tian. Even if he was kicked out of his mayorship, he would have done a spectacular thing to escort this legendary being back to his clan.

The second Chu Tian closed his eyes, Luo Yi was filled with an uneasy feeling. From within to without, from flesh to spirit, from thought to physicality, there was nothing exempt from Chu Tian's vision.

And even… his own thoughts, the very thoughts that flit through his mind, were bared for the opponent to read.

What was this?

What power was this?

Luo Yu was taken aback and filled with an uneasy doubt, but his body kept going. The blade glinted in the sunlight, still on its quest to draw Chu Tian's blood!

The second Chu Tian closed his eyes, he had read through Luo Yu's entire body. There was no flaw in his being that he couldn't see, and even the long sword in his hand was bared visibly in all its gaps and shortcomings.

These gaps and flaws were not visible to the human eye.

Chu Yuan gathered his energy onto the two fingertips of his right hand. The two fingers began glowing light gold. He waited patiently, with closed eyes, until the sword came piercing at him, violently bringing a frosty chill with it.

Ka!

The silver blade was held prominently between the two golden fingers!

Chu Tian gently moved his fingers. Pa! And the silver blade broke off on the spot.

Ss!

Everyone in the crowd drew in sharp breaths.

Luo Yu stood there with a dumbfounded expression, his eyes fixed on his broken sword. He was unable to comprehend it. The cold killing intent pierced through his heart, and at that moment, Luo Yu began fearing for his life.

"I surrender!"

"First, you want my life. Then, when you realize you can't win, you surrender. Do you think there's such an easy thing in life?" Chu Tian lightly flicked his finger and broken blade shards flew out, as if stars shooting through space and penetrating through Luo Yu's chest. "You only have your useless self to blame."

Keng!

A trickle of fresh red blood flowed down from above.

"No, no!"

Luo Yu clutched his left chest as blood flowed out. His face was grasped by an unwilling indignation as he roared his pain, before slumping unmoving to the ground.

One move!

Still one move!

Chu Tian, facing a stronger opponent, a far crueller opponent, easily broke off his weapon. He definitely won like a badass.

"Chu Tian!"

"Chu Tian!"

"Chu Tian!"

Countless people began cheering loudly, filling the air with deafening shouts.

This was definitely a moment for the history books in Tian Nan City!

Ye Xiong and the others, even though they weren't aware of Heart's Eye, were still stunned by Chu Tian's performance. They had never met a youth that stirred such alarm among them!

"This boy. Must. Be killed."

Chapter 37: Emergence of Miracle Commerce

Ye Xiong gathered his Devil Wolf's spirit energy, raised his two hands high, already shattering the rocks in proximity as his energy radiated in an outwards radius. Everyone felt the pure energy whittling past them, even if it couldn't be seen, as if a sharp energy piercing through space itself, arching and shot straight towards Chu Tian with inhuman speed.

HONG!

The cold energy of the Polar Bear spirit.

Xiong Bing reached out his left hand. A swirl of biting cold congealed into an icy wall, and in an ear-splitting crash, the force viciously bit into the ice wall, forcibly cracking the ice wall, marring it with wide splits, and yet… it remained intact.

Blocked by Xiong Bing again!

"Xiong Bing!" Ye Xiong howled. "You really think I can't kill him?"

A scroll full of pictures slid to the floor from a sleeve.

Ye Xiong raised his arm.

HONG!

The devil wolf energy spirit, as if feeling its master's rage, violently slashed a huge paw on the scroll, a muddy golden light obliterating the scroll to fine powder that was picked away by the wind.

Nan Guan Yi, Zhang Li Qing, and Xiong Bing were all stunned silent. Did Ye Xiong destroy… Could he have destroyed Chu Tian's soul contract?

Ye Xiong's reddened eyes widened as he threw his head back in laughter. "Lowly slave! Die!"

This was an era of slaves. One city with two or three million citizens could have as much as two or three hundred thousand slaves. Even the smallest families with a bit of money could buy slaves for their services. Poor families voluntarily gave up their people to gain a slightly well-off living in return.

The prevalent buying and selling of slaves was on a big part, based on security.

Slave owners had in their possession a stamped contract holding their slave's life within. This kind of slave contract, once signed, was impossible to break. Whoever had the slave scroll was the slave's owner.

When the scroll was destroyed...

The slave's spirit would immediately crumble. No deus ex machina could save them.

Ye Xiong had initially planned to torture Chu Tian little by little until death, but now his mind clouded over with rage and revenge. Who had anticipated Xiong Bing would block him and deny him of revenge? And so he decided to directly destroy the contract and watch Chu Tian's spirit slowly crumble to disintegration; let him die painfully under the eyes of everyone.

So what if he had shocking, raw talent?

So what if he was crazy talented and once in a lifetime?

He was and would always be a lowly, vulgar slave! Humiliating Ye clan and killing the eldest, prized son, this enemy cannot- must not- be spared!

The audience stared up at the elevated stage.

One second, two seconds… ten seconds ticked by.

And Chu Tian was still standing in one whole defiant piece up on the arena.

Ye Xiong's fury and shock mingled together. What was this? Why was he not dead?

"Ha! Didn't expect this did you, you old cur?" Chu Tian grinned, looking far from someone in pain. "Ye Clan's cuckolds only have this little third-rate trick up their sleeves, but what can you do to me?"

His spirit had been destroyed, but the person was still alive?

Impossible!

Du Zhen Tian was unable to sit idly by any longer.

Even though the Du Clan had no direct grudge against Chu Tian, he was motivated enough to eliminate a possible threat.

"Wild thief! I'll help you!"

Du Zhen Tian released his energy spirit. His energy spirit was different compared to the others. It was shockingly pitch black double bladed hatchet five times the size of a normal one. It had a fiery destructive aura. Du Zhen Tian grabbed at empty air as if wrapping his fingers around an imaginary handle. The incorporeal black hatchet raised itself up, hurtling itself towards Chu Tian.

"Chop!"

Chu Tian stepped aside to avoid the hit.

A black hatchet crashed down from the air down to where Chu Tian had been standing mere milliseconds ago, and the arena splintered and gave way to a huge crack. What a destructive power.

Ye Xiong, Li Zhang Yun, Du Zhen Tian: the three Soul Awakening fighters had simultaneously released attacks. Zhang Li Qing and Xiong Bing alone would be hard-pressed to defend Chu Tian. It looked like he was really in a bit of a tight spot.

Meng Qing Wu and Meng Ying Ying saw this event unfolding from afar, and their hearts seized with worry.

Why else would Chu Tian fight so hard but for their commerce? If they knew the situation would be this risky, they would have rather Chu Tian stay as a nobody and not attract all this dangerous attention.

Everything was too late now.

What should they do now?

"Enough!"

The entire plaza was affected with vibration. A fiery and deafening roar filled the air. It was as if the world were coming to an end. The rolling echoes of the roar filled their eardrums with a piercing pain. "Do you still think I, the mayor, am important?"

A frightening intimidation swept across the entire land.

The power of red flame emitted out, a strong heat shrouded the arena, which congealed into a large spirit. The spirit looked like the mouth of a volcano, burning lava roil on it's surface, spurting hot magma, a poisonous miasma assailed the nose.

The mayor Nangong Yi made his move.

It was a volcano spirit!

The volcano represented the strength of the earth, the volcano represented the strength of nature. A volcanic eruption of sufficient magnitude could cover the entire lands under heaven, causing misery to all living things, and in the end make a whole country perish!

The spirit of the warrior represented the warrior's ability and potential!

The volcano awakened with world-shaking power, it was as if a calamity was descending onto Tian Nan City, making everybody feel alarmed.

The Nangong clan were all wielders of fire spirits.

Nangong Yun had awakened her godly Fire Phoenix Spirit and became famous in the whole continent.

Nangong Yi held the post of mayor, he was prudent and cautious. Nobody had ever seen him make a move, so nobody knew Nangong Yi's true strength and thought he was weak.

Even though the Volcano Spirit could not compare to his daughter's Fire Phoenix Spirit, it still had extreme destructive power. If one were to reach the pinnacle of cultivation, it would not be inferior to the godly spirits.

The power of the volcano.

It was still brewing!

If this power were to be released, the experts on the same level would be no match for it. From the looks of Nangong Yi's imposing manner, his power was above everybody in the field!

These Spirit Awakened cultivator could not necessarily come out victorious!

Is this the true power of the mayor?

Is this the legacy of the Nangong clan, one of the three great families?

Nangong Yi changed his usual modest and scholarly manner, he reprimanded in a tyrannical manner, "Ye Xiong, you are being impudent! Every year in the Tian Nan General Assembly, casualties are difficult to avoid. Don't tell me that only your son is allowed to kill other people, and that other people cannot make a move against your son?"

The Volcano Spirit surged, the roiling lava within seemed to be at the tipping point of erupting out, the terrible temperature and pressure made everybody in the square unable to breathe.

Nangong Yi articulated, "Who dares to mess around, don't blame this mayor for being ruthless!"

How strong!

There was no way to go against him!

Ye Xiong, Li Zhang Yun, Du Zhen Tian were not willing, but they had no choice!

After all, in this world, strength reigned supreme. Whoever was the strongest, they were like the heavens. The three people glared hatefully at Chu Tian and apologized stiffly to the mayor. They all returned to their seats.

Nangong Yi had shown clearly that he meant to protect Chu Tian.

Chu Tian was bound to live a worry-free life in Tian Nan City as long as Nangong Yi remained mayor. The three people did not dare to rashly make a move against Chu Tian.

They really did not dare!

But when did the mayor suddenly become so determined?

Ye Xiong, Due Zhen Tian had dark looks, in the end they declared angrily, "We're leaving!".

The two clan head directly withdrew, bringing their people along with them.

Nangong Yi withdrew his Volcano Spirit. For the sake of protecting Chu Tian he had offended two people. Since it already happened he did not care anymore. In a deep and resounding voice he solemnly announced, "Nobody can lay a hand on Tian Nan's number one genius, Chu Tian!"

"Chu Tian!"

"Chu Tian!"

The people yelled frantically.

Their blood was boiling because of Chu Tian!

They were fired up because of the mayor's power!

Tian Nan City was only a small city in the continent, yet they had such strong powers. Prosperity was right around the corner!

Nangong Yi continued, "According to Tian Nan City's tradition, Chu Tian won first place in the Big Competition, the clan or power he represents has won a tax-free year, as well as mining resources. In addition, he has the opportunity to speak first in the Summit!"

These words were spoken.

The loud shouts subsided.

Wasn't Chu Tian representing South Cloud Commerce?

The commerce was on its last legs, on the verge of collapse, what kind of speech could he make on behalf of it?

The crowd became depressed, Chu Tian had made the atmosphere of the summit very passionate, but now would it end on such a sad note?

Chu Tian followed Nangong Yu, walking on the long red carpet, slowly making his way to the center of the square. The Big Competition was now coming to a close. The main event of the Summit was about to take place. The army, government, and business elite representatives gathered, about to announce the end of the year summary, publicly declaring their plans for the next year.

When Chu Tian stepped into the center of the luxurious square, he faced the large crowd. He did not have any stage fright, he declared in a loud voice, "Today I am here not to speak for anybody else. I am here to speak for myself!"

Chu Tian continued, "Before the mayor, before the citizens of Tian Nan City, I am solemnly announcing, the grandest commerce in the whole kingdom, Miracle Commerce! Today it is established!"

Miracle Commerce?

Never heard of it!

Not a single sound could be heard, what was this all about? What was this arrogant guy saying, calling his own commerce the grandest in the kingdom?

His own responsibility?

Bah!

Chu Tian was an honest person, when he said these words, he felt apologetic. He had meant to say that Miracle Commerce would become the greatest commerce in the whole world!

Chu Tian did not pay any mind to the discussion of the people, he continued to speak in a loud voice, "Before Miracle Commerce makes a formal public appearance, I want to introduce to two sub-commerce under it!"

The commerce has just been established, suddenly there are two sub-commerce?

Chu Tian announced loudly, "The first, South Cloud Talisman and Pharmaceutical Technology Company, it's president is Meng Qing Wu, chief adviser is Zhang Li Qing and Xiong Tian Yan!"

Hong!

Everybody exploded with passion!

What is he talking about? Wasn't this South Cloud Commerce?

This new commerce just swallowed up an existing name! What made people even more amazed, Zhang Li Qing, Xiong Tian Yan were both well-known as talisman maker and alchemist, unexpectedly joining this commerce on the verge of collapse!

Chu Tian continued announcing in a loud voice, "Second, Miracle Magic Restaurant Management and Co., president is Meng Ying Ying with the vice president as Nangong Yun!

Nangong Yi and Xiong Bing stared blankly for several seconds.

When they saw Xiong Tian Yan, Nangong Yun, Meng Ying Ying, Meng Qin Wu, Zhang Li Qing go up on stage and stand behind Chu Tian, the two people slowly regained their senses.

This must be some sort of dream!

Chu Tian did not give anybody a break, "Everybody must be curious, what is Miracle Commerce? Today, here, inviting Meng Qing Wu Vice President of Miracle Commerce and President of the Talisman and Pharmaceutical Technology Company to please step forward, to show everybody this product!"

Chu Tian withdrew, winking at Meng Ying Ying as if to say, how is it, big brother wasn't bad wasn't he!

Meng Ying Ying's eyes were dancing with light, her mouth was curled into a happy smile, discreetly giving him a thumbs up, expressing her satisfaction and praise!

Meng Qing Wu slowly walked up the stage. She had changed into a snow-white robe, it outlined her perfect figure, she was dignified and beautiful, her bearing was noble, worthy of being called Tian Nan City's number one beauty!

Meng Qing Wu had operated South Cloud Commerce for six years, she had encountered many events before but she never felt as nervous as she was now.

Time was moving too fast.

From the moment Chu Tian established the commerce, up to it's public announcement, it had only been ten or more days. Meng Qing Wu worked continuously non-stop but many things still needed to be done, the assembly line was still incomplete.

But some products had already come out, at least for the Summit today there was no problem.

Meng Qing Wu reflected on the events lead up to this moment and her confidence instantly increased.

At this point, a few South Cloud Commerce employees brought out a huge object, carefully bringing it up on stage. It was at least 2 zhang (ten Chinese feet, a Chinese foot is 3.3 meters) high, completely covered beneath a black sheet.

What is this?

It aroused everyone's curiosity!

Chapter 38: Product Release

Meng Qing Wu was capable and experienced person that put importance to efficiency. So she did not waste words as she entered into the subject:

"I hope everybody is well. I am the Vice President of Miracle Commerce. Miracle Commerce is an expert at producing miraculous products. When each of our products come out they will all topple the old conventions and trends. Everybody, witness one of the newest products of our research."

"It is a grand invention, it can give the world light, it can illuminate a civilization, its appearance will be recorded now in the history of our civilization!"

"..."

That magnetic voice had a type of power that stirred up the crow, making each person feel obsessed/infatuated, at the same time provoking their curiosity.

What is this? Meng Qing Wu dares to be this confident, going so far as to say that this will be written down in history, how could she exaggerate so much?

Chu Tian nodded his head with a satisfied expression, the Eldest Miss was the Eldest miss, she did not lose to him in eloquence. This boasting made people feel pleased from head to toe.

"This is the gift of Miracle Commerce to the Summit Meeting, Miracle Tree!"

When Meng Qing Wu spoke up to this point, she walked to the object sealed tightly with the black cloth, and suddenly pulled it off with energy. A colossal object suddenly appeared before the people.

"Wow!"

"Heavens!"

"What is this?"

On the outside it looked like a tree, about six meters high. The majority of it was made of glass, glass balls the shape of pears hung on top. At this moment, each glass ball was blossoming with light, red, orange, yellow. The effects of the all the colors were the same, it made people feel dazzled to the extreme!

Just what are these treasures?

This was the product that the commerce spent ten days to quickly manufacture, altogether it had used up 600 light bulbs of varying size, and the objective was to make a profound impression in the Summit.

Miracle Commerce had just started, it was still incomplete in several aspects. The manufacturing standard and output was pitiful. In Chu Tian's eyes, this so-called Miracle Tree was merely shoddy work.

But to the people who had never seen electric light before, the effect of the hanging multi-colored lightbulbs was extremely awe-inspiring!

Meng Qing Wun was also overwhelmed with emotion!

In these past years, she had persistently guarded her family's property. Not to speak of advancing, as long as the enemy did not destroy them she counted herself lucky. She had never dared to hope that she would be able to behold such as scene as now.

This is not my own doing, all I can do is persistently grab opportunities. I should show my worth by doing my part as a president and operate this business well, so I won't be unworthy of that guy's confidence.

Meng Qing Wu thought up to this point and hardened her resolve. Her back was perfectly straight as she stood with the radiant lights of the Miracle Tree beside her, like an otherworldly goddess shrouded in a rainbow-colored cloud.

"This magical tree is really astounding, but it's not a type of product that once can only come across by chance! In fact, it is made only from a pile of glass, cropper and other low-cost materials! Not only the people from upper society, but even commoners can use it!"

Really?

This object is that cheap?

Meng Qing Wu had a proud smile on her face: "Whether it is a farmer from the fields or a peddler, a rich merchant or a government official, it is human nature to yearn for light. To read a book, to study, to entertain, to hold a banquet, to do research, in our daily lives we cannot be without light. Thus, light will advance our civilization. As long as we have light, we can make progress, and open up new horizons."

These words left everybody puzzled.

What did this bombastic talk have to do with the Miracle Tree?

Meng Qing Wu continued, "However, for our poor and humble brethren, light is a luxury. Candles, oil lamps, this fire is difficult to use. Take our Tian Nan City for example. At night, eighty percent of the city descends into darkness, everybody keeps their door shut and does not dare to go out, adversely affecting the quality of life at night time."

"If Tian Nan City's streets were filled with light, if the lights of the pubs and dance halls were splendid and glorious, if each household of Tian Nan City is illuminated, then we can imagine that this city will become more flourishing and interesting. The goal of Miracle Commerce is that within half a year, we will light up the whole city!

Light up the whole city!

What big talk!

The stable source of light in the continent were the crystal lamps. The prices of these crystal lamps were exorbitant, and many would be consumed within a day. Even the richest millionaires did not dare to use them too much. How could she dare to speak about lighting up the whole city?

At this moment, Meng Qing Wu plucked off a light bulb and raised it up high, "Now, I will introduce to everybody, this will be first product Miracle Commerce will release, the electric lamp!"

Electric lamp?

Everybody had questions!

Meng Qing Wu continued, "This is a completely new object, and vastly more convenient than candles and oil lamps, vastly more stable and inexpensive than crystal lamps. The production is not a problem at all! I believe that electric light will cover the streets of Tian Nan City, electric light will illuminate all the households, and that its emergence will be an important milestone!"

Everybody erupted passionately.

If these words were true… then this was a truly great invention!

The mainstream lights of the continent were candles and oil lamps. Crystal lamps were made from crystals with the light attribute. They used the power of the light crystals to release the light element, that's why it gave out a sufficient amount of light.

The prices of these light crystals were expensive because in order to accumulate that much energy, the production process involved light radiation that was harmful to the workers. If the crystal products were not purified long enough, after long use they could explode and cause harm.

The electric lamps were far more convenient than oil lamps and candles, and the price was much better than crystal lamps. If this product were to be released, it would absolutely cause a frenzy in the market.

Meng Qing Wu continued, "At night people can't help but use a lot of lighting tools when they move around. Currently, the main mobile light sources are the lantern, the torch and light creatures. The lantern can only be used in the city. Soldiers and mercenaries use torches and light creatures when then enter the dangerous wilds. However, it's clear that these objects have a huge defect."

"The lantern and torch as well as the "Sunlight Pumpkin" light creature, these things do not extinguish and illuminate by themselves. All the light is concentrated in the center, affecting the illuminated area. It's easy to attract magical beasts to oneself in the wilderness!"

"So we are in great need of a type of convenient, wide-ranged, stable light source that can automatically control it's lighting intensity, can switch on and off by itself, and that is also inexpensive, to replace all these other modes of mobile lighting!"

Everybody's curiosity had been roused to their peak!

Meng Qing Wu did not keep them in suspense. She lightly clapped her hands and a worker brought over a black cylinder.

The black cylinder was twenty centimeters long, encased in thin gold plating. It looked like it could perfectly fit in a hand.

Meng Qing Wu raised the cylinder, "What everybody is looking at right now is a portable lighting tool made by Miracle Commerce, also one of the products we will be selling. We call it the, "Magic Hand Torch"

Saying this, she channeled her magical power into it, then from the front of the cylinder burst forth an intense light, similar to a light beam, sweeping across the people.

Meng Qing Wu continued, "The torch emits light from the magic passing through it. The intensity of the light is controlled by the intensity of the imbued magic, turning it on and off is extremely convenient. It's not difficult to see that this type of equipment can be put into a wide range of uses for mercenaries and soldiers. It will become an important piece of equipment for mercenaries and soldiers at night. Travelling back and forth through the forest, exploring caves, nighttime travel, mining, it will be a huge help!

"What a good object!"

Xiong Bing stood up and yelled.

"I'm ordering a thousand hand torches!"

"I'm ordering 500 hand torches!"

"I want 200!"

"..."

Miracle Commerce's production process was still lacking. The hand torch in Meng Qing Wu's hand was currently the only one. How could they have the capacity to manufacture more than a thousand pieces? These profits were temporarily out of their reach!

"Miracle Commerce's lighting equipment are still undergoing research and design. Aside from the energy hand torch, we are still pushing to make products for domestic and public use." Meng Qin Wu continued to introduce the desk lamp, street lamp and other concepts. "We will start accepting pre orders at the end of the month. If anybody is interested in Miracle Commerce's electric lamp, please watch out for our announcements for the latest news."

This made people feel riled up.

Everybody who heard this felt invigorated.

In previous Tian Nan Summit Meetings, when merchants announced new products, it was always medicinal pill and talismans. Nothing so strange had ever popped up before.

Nangong Yi could feel the future prospects of the electric lamp. He wasn't entirely certain about the conditions in the whole continent, but for now the kingdom lacked a stable and cheap light source that could surpass the electric lamp. If the electric lamp could be mass produced, it would at the very least become the best selling product in the whole kingdom, the profits would be huge!

This had very good prospects!

"Because of time, our introduction of the electric lamp will end here. If anybody wants to hear further, everybody is welcome to go to the Miracle Help Desk. We'll announce another invention next time. It will have the same historical significance as this one. It can change everybody's lives, elevating everybody's quality of life. It is the Magic Frying Pan!

Magic Frying Pan?

Could it be…!

Nangong Yi's eyes were fixed on the two girls that stepped onto the stage.

One was a cute 16-year old girl with fresh and pure charm, the other was a girl of around 19 with a fiery and wild sex-appeal, bold and unrestrained. Weren't they Meng Ying Ying and Nangong Yun?

Meng Ying Ying, Nangong Yun were extremely nervous!

Don't even mention Meng Ying Ying, she was a person who had never seen so many people together before, count it not bad if she could still walk while facing these tens of thousands of people. Nangong Yun was ordinarily carefree, as if she weren't afraid of the heavens, but right now, her mind was a mess, as if a drum were beating inside of it.

Meng Qing Wu smiled warmly at the two of them, "These are the Miracle Food and Beverage Division co-presidents. They will speak about the wonderful uses of the Magical Frying Pan."

Meng Ying Ying effortfully swallowed her saliva. Chu Tian was watching her from behind. Today, Chu Tian and her sister had performed very well, she couldn't do worse than them. She gritted her teeth and stood up.

Papapa!

The audience erupted in thunderous applause!

Meng Ying Ying was so nervous that she was almost fainted. She had thought of a very eloquent opening statement, but now she couldn't remember a word of it. She stammered, "That, that, mag-magic frying pan makes delicious food. I think everybody won't be disappointed."

Nangong Yun urgently added, "Right, right, I prepared a lot of good food. Speaking more won't be persuasive. Now we'll give everybody a free sample!"

Everybody's large eyes narrowed.

That's it?

They did not introduce the product at all!

Nangong Yun quickly waved her hands and 2-300 employees carrying plates stepped out from behind the curtain. Each of them was carrying a large platter filled with the savory meat, the delicious smell of meat permeated through the air.

"Wow! This is magical beast meat!"

"Can I please have a piece?"

"I've never had magical beast meat this delicious!"

"..."

Meng Ying Ying and Nangon Yun heard everybody speak these words and immediately faced each other and smiled, their nervousness disappeared and was replaced by a little more self-confidence.

Nangong Yun had guts, when she saw people praising the food, her confidence soared to new heights.

Old pops always looked down on me!

Everybody in the city thinks I'm a troublesome witch!

It was not easy to get Chu Tian to finally let me join!

I have to do well. Can't let anybody look down on me, especially father!

"Just as everybody experienced," Nangon Yun stood up to continue the introduction, "The Magical Pot is a type of magical invention that uses magical power to cook the beast meat, operating it is simple and extremely easy. When this invention spreads, magical beast meat and alchemical herbs will become delicacies. I think this is a revolutionary invention in the continent's food and beverage industry!"

Nangong Yun's thinking became more and more clear, she unceasingly continued to talk about the magical frying pan, "Since you can take advantage of all of the beast meat's nutrients this way, and can even eat such splendid food for yourself, the most important thing here is, it's convenient and safe. The magical frying pan will change everybody's lives! This is the Miracle Commerce's grand invention!"

Meng Qing Wu wanted to illuminate the entire city in half a year, and also eventually illuminate the entire kingdom!

Nangong Yun declared that she would topple the food and beverage customs!

Miracle Commerce, truly formidable!

Meng Ying Ying quickly interjected, "Everybody please take note, after two days, the first magical cooking restaurant in the world will open for business, both cultivators and people who want to enjoy delicious food, everybody is welcome to come!"

Inserting advertisements is very important!

Chu Tian's grand performance in the big competition in addition to the Miracl Commerce' causing a sensation.. electric lamp and magical frying pan, two products made successful releases, immediately putting Miracle Commerce at the frontier. Most certainly that on the day of the opening of the restaurant, it would be full of people!

Chapter 39: End of the Summit Meeting

Does Miracle Commerce only have 2 products?

If that was what you're thinking, you've made a big mistake!

Meng Qing Wu stood on the center of the square, meeting everyone's gaze, started speaking in a calm and unhurried manner, "With these products, it's without a doubt that the standard of living of the citizens in Tian Nan City will increase exponentially. With just this, it is sufficient to propel the Miracle Commerce to be a large enterprise, however that is not our goal it is rather just a checkpoint in our journey to become something greater!"

That alluring voice, even more bewitching than that of the Siren, enchanting those who hear her voice causing them to unconsciously focus all their attention to the speech.

(T/N: Siren)

"Miracle Commerce is one which prioritizes the advancement of the human race!" Meng Qing Wu's voice cut through the crowd like a knife through ice, causing the listeners to shiver unconsciously. "We wish that our efforts will allow the human race to enjoy eternal glory on this land, allow us to create the grandest civilization since the start of time and a commerce that will forever be engraved in history as the greatest!"

"Siiiii" (fx: sound of air sucked between the teeth, indicating hesitation)

The entire square turned silent from admiration. How much courage is needed for her to make such a speech!

Humans, they are not the only race on this continent, they are also definitely not the strongest. However, they are the most numerous, territories spanning millions of miles, As many city as the stars in the sky.

Nan Xia Country (T/N: Tian Nan city is part of Nan Xia country) is just a small kingdom of 200 million people. Those truly almighty figures will not even spare a glance to such a small country.

A small commerce within a small city under the governance of a small kingdom, actually believe that they can allow the human race to prosper, doesn't it seem too idealistic?

Even the cheeks of Meng Qing Wu had flushed red.

As you might expect, the entire speech was taught to her by Chu Tian. The content of the speech was definitely exaggerated, however since exaggerating isn't breaking the law then there's no harm in doing more. This is especially so when the commerce has just been established; for the commerce to prosper it requires others to pay attention to it and a method to do so is for your words to astonish or shock others.

Meng Qing Wu is not a simple person, she fought through her embarrassment and gathered her passion, "The Miracle Commerce exists for the sake of creating miracles, the Miracle Commerce exists for the sake of changing the world, the Miracle Commerce will not be satisfied with just conquering this city.. THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!"

Thunderous applause swept through the crowd!

Meng Qing Wu seeing that the atmosphere of the crowd was just right, proceeded with the main part of the speech, "South Cloud Commerce will assume full responsibility for Talisman, drug development, production, and sales! Everyone, let's witness the birth of the new South Cloud commerce!"

Talisman production and alchemy production is undoubtedly one of the most profitably industries. Due to this reason, the competition is harsh and it's difficult to stand out from the competition. It is this reason that caused the South Cloud Commerce to suffer from a mountain of debt and ultimately end up in such a pathetic state.

"The Miracle Commence would like to announce the latest product from our research!" Meng Qing Wu spread out her arms in an inviting gesture, "I would like to invite SCC chief talisman adviser Zhang Li Qing and chief alchemy adviser Xiong Tian Yan on stage!"

This sentence was sufficient to shock the entire crowd! These two men are the top in their field in Tian Nan City, and they publicly announced that they are joining SCC. Who still dares say that SCC will go bankrupt soon? Who can say that SCC will soon sell ass? (T/N: A chinese saying where you have to sell your body/ass to get money because you have nothing valuable to sell)

With this partnership, SCC will have numerous advantages and insider information. It will surely rise like a phoenix and build a stronghold in Tian Nan City!

Zhang Li Qing leisurely walked up the stairs. Usually he would prefer to don his plain grey robe, often looking thin and pallid; instead today he put on a set of formal robes, face filled with spirit and vibrancy; seemingly younger by a couple of decades.

"Teacher Zhang!"

The crowd excitedly cheered. He is the idol of numerous teens in this city as well as one in a very high position, commanding respect and admiration.

Zhang Li Qing let out a gentle smile and cupped his hands to thank the crowd. As the crowd settle, he begin his part of his speech.

Soft yet firm and forceful, "Firstly, to be able to stand on this stage i would like to express my gratitude to Miracle commerce and the president for the help you've given me. Allowing an old man like me to stand again on my own two feet and use what little ability i have to assist the commerce. Once again, thank you!"

Suddenly, he turned around and gave a deep bow to Chu Tian and the rest.

This is simply too shocking! An awakened soul cultivator, a talisman master! To humble himself as such, is truly deserving of admiration.

"In truth, I'm already an old man. So old that I almost can't keep up with the change of the seasons; whatever the future may hold, I may not be able to witness it with my own two eyes… However, with what remaining strength I have, I will contribute to the making of Miracle Commerce. Carrying the bricks and tiles(T/N: 添砖加瓦 :To do one's bit to help), passing on my lifetime worth of knowledge, giving this kingdom.. My last contribution!"

Waves of applause spread through the crowd.

Belittling himself as such, just this fact alone is enough for the commerce to be on tomorrow's headline.

At the same time, a few members of the talisman association walked up the stage, carrying an enormous scroll. Slowly unveiling the contents of the scroll, revealing a complicated yet exquisite talisman blueprint.

"Is this really a talisman blueprint?" The crowd thought. Nan Gong Yi and Xiong Bing almost had their eyes pop out, their mouths hanging open from this flawless "artwork".

"This is the new talisman blueprint created after 2 years of research, with the help from the Miracle Commerce. This piece of level 1 talisman - Stone Skin, will be exclusively produced and sold by SCC. I believe this is one of the best level 1 talisman that graced this continent in the recent decade!"

"The stone skin talisman is very easy to control and has no side effect. It allows the user skin to be as tough as stone, increasing resistance to fire as well as reduce the impact from fist and weapons."

A torrent of words spill out from Zhang Li Qing's mouth, from its value in research to its versatile function, attacking it from various angles, causing the audience to gasp in shock.

This is truly an excellent talisman, surpassing the current technology by decades! One of the reasons of the stagnation of SCC is from the severe oppression of their competitors. However, the main reason is that their talisman is too outdated! The design of talisman is always changing, if you can't keep up with the improvements you will naturally be eliminated in this race. (T/N: Eg nokia, sony ericsson vs iphone, samsung)

Previously, SCC did not have an talisman master, neither did it have resources to spare for research. For a long time, SCC sold mainstream talismans that are not prone to changes , conforming to the crowd and not having any specialty or niche, losing its competitive edge.

The tides have turned with the exclusive sale of the stone skin talisman, leading the design race by years of research causing the competitor to be unable to replicate. Now is when the counterattack of SCC begins, no longer passive rather attacking aggressively with their newfound qualifications and ability.

Xiong Tian Yan step forward and continue, "Greetings, I'm the elder of the alchemy association, temporarily taking the position of chief alchemy adviser of SCC."

While his reputation may not exceed Zhang Li Qing's, his ability has already gained him a reputation in the field of alchemy and boundless prospects.

"I am not good with words! Therefore I only want to say one thing, Miracle Commence is definitely a majestic commerce. I do not have the qualifications to choose to join it, it chose to allow me to join! I am extremely humbled and honoured, as well as pressured because my ability is still lacking to hold this responsibility!"

Xiong Bing was flabbergasted! When did his younger brother became so modest?! Impossible! He is naturally aware of his younger brother's gunpower like temperament and is usually arrogant, humbling words can't possibly exit from his mouth!

Xiong Tian Yan continued, "I will hereby reveal SCC's new pills, the Crimson Lotus pill and the Lian Qi pill!" (T/N: 练 = Liàn = Train , 气 = qì = vital energy. I'm sure naming this Lian Qi pill will come to bite my ass in the future as there will definitely be more than 1 kind of pill that increases the cultivation….)

The Crimson Lotus pill is a rare lifesaving pill, while the Lian Qi pill is a priceless treasure to quicken the cultivation process!

Chu Tian did not publish other pills and talisman due the the infertile land within Tian Nan City. Ingredients required to manufacture them cannot be found within this city. Secondly, the market for pills and talisman have long since saturated, with some large commerce maintaining their monopoly of the market.

With the emergence of SCC, some of the market share will definitely flow towards them. As the saying goes, taking away someone's rice bowl is askin to killing one's parents! Before SCC gains enough power, it's best to hide its ability and remain lowkey. If one is too greedy and not leave some leeway for the other commerce, the consequence is hard to imagine. Even a rabbit will strike back when cornered, not to mention these old foxes.

Releasing these products is sufficient to promote the reputation of SCC yet also preserving the other commerce.

Once the foundation of SCC is stable, then by slowly nibbling and penetrating, like a frog in boiling water, weaken their defenses. When they finally realise, it will be too late!

"Oh my god! Unbelievable!!"

"No matter of low the innate talent, upon consuming the Lian Qi pill they will be able to cultivate?!"

"The side effect of the Crimson Lotus pill is so minor? Our mercenary group has to order as many as possible!!"

The excitement level of the crowd reached its peak and does not seem that it will drop anytime soon. Tian Nan summit meeting has became a one man show belonging to Miracle Commerce!

No one noticed that in a corner, concealed a middle aged man. In his black robe and hood concealing his face is precisely Ye Xiong! On the surface, Ye Xiong has already left the summit, however he sneaked back to gather information.

It can be seen how sly a person he is.

The existence of Miracle commerce, threatened the status of the Wolf commerce, and even as far as threatened the entire mercenary group and Ye family's status!

He is well aware of the ability of Meng Qing Wu, she specialises in administration and management work, it is impossible for her to invent all those products!

Could it be Chu Tian? It is increasing hard to see through him!

Ye Xiong filled with murderous intent, like a wolf stalking its prey, eyes flicker with hatred. In his mind, he thought of how to kill that fellow. Poison? Assassination? No matter what it's best that he dies as soon as possible!

Nan Gong Yi is a hinderance, it will not be easy to get rid of Chu Tian under his protection.

"A person cannot appear out of nowhere.." Ye Xiong contemplated for a while before ordering the servant next to him, "Order all the intelligence division to find out everything about Chu Tian. I want to know everything! Within these two days I want to see the report!"

"Yes!"

After the announces by the Miracle commerce, Ye Xiong lost interest and soundlessly walked into the dark alley..

Chapter 40: Chu Tian's Dream

In the middle of the night, the Meng house was brightly lit. The table was filled with good food and drink.

"Everybody did splendidly!"

"For the company!"

"A toast!"

Chu Tian, Meng Qing Wu, Meng Ying Ying, Nangong Yun, Xiong Tian Yan, Zhang Li Qing, everybody raised their cups for a toast!

Zhang Li Qing was seated in the middle. His presence was quite strange. He was a noble scholar, originally he did not want to be mixed up with business affairs so as not to ruin his illustrious name.

This time, without the slightest hesitation, he publicly became a member of Southern Cloud Commerce.

Why did he make such an exception?

Was it to repay the kindness of saving his life?

No, that was only part of the reason.

Zhang Li Qing had very good foresight. He had long discovered that Chu Tian had something other people didn't have, it was a type of ambition, a type of fantasy, a type of spirit, a type of prejudice. Beneath his youthful appearance throbbed an outstanding mind that was ahead of its time; underneath his frivolity hid a wise spirit.

When the miraculous ship set sail, it would be a sensational thing, full of ideals, ambitions and feelings!

But, after all, what kind of mentality did Ye Qian have in establishing it?

How far could this ship sail?

It was something to look forward to!

Zhang Li Qing was 70 years old, already in his twilight years, he had never felt as young as he felt now. The newborn Miracle Commerce was going to face many problems, and it needed his help at this time!

If he were to cower now, he might regret it for the rest of his days.

"The Summit Meeting had many twists and turns, but it had a good conclusion. We have taken the first step all thanks to everyone's hard work." Meng Qing Wu poured a cup of wine for Chu Tian, "On behalf of all our partners, I present a toast to you!"

"Eldest Miss is too kind. If you keep talking that way I'll become arrogrant." Chu Tian chuckled in reply. "It wasn't all my work, at best it was only 99% thanks to me."

Everybody laughed in reply.

This guy really didn't know how to be modest!

Meng Ying Ying drank a mouthful of wine and looked at Chu Tian with her droopy lids, a small smile on her face. This guy was a little bad, very arrogant, a little frivolous, but as long as he's beside me nothing bad will happen. As long as he's beside me everything is so safe and secure!

Everybody enjoyed the food and wine to their hearts content.

Meng Qing Wu wasn't intoxicated by the alcohol, she soberly said, "Everyone, while it is worth celebrating the smooth birth of the company, this is just the first step. We mustn't become careless. I have a few urgent matters to discuss with everybody."

"First, the factory for the electric light is incomplete."

"Second, the restaurant is in the middle of preparations, it needs to be open for business as soon as possible."

"Third, the structure of our company is messy. Above we have management, below we have the production line. We are short on people, short on money, short on materials, there's almost nothing we aren't short on. We have to settle these problems as soon as possible."

"..."

Meng Qing Wu finished speaking.

Everybody calmed down.

The business had a weak infrastructure and was unable to make a robust production line. The money they lacked was not a small amount, but even more inconvenient was that they lacked people. It wasn't because it was hard to recruit people, it was just hard to find people they trusted.

Chu Tian did not feel this was a huge problem. One couldn't get fat with one bite of food. The business was at its early stages, not everything could be solved immediatley. It was all just a matter of time. Sooner or later all these issues would be fixed.

Chu Tian asked, "What are the other problems?"

"I'm afraid that it is the product itself." Meng Qing Wu knitted her brows, "The electric lamp runs on magic. Each usage would need five minutes of magic; to maintain the light, it would need around one hour of magic. However, among the 3 million people in Tian Nan City, only 200,000 can use magic. This implies that ordinary people cannot use the electric lamp."

Chu Tian was impressed that Meng Qing Wu understood this point.

An idea suddenly occurred to Meng Yi Yi, and she instantly raised a small, delicate hand.

When Meng Qing Wu saw her younger sister's enthusiasm, a gratified smile appeared on her face and she asked warmly, "Ying Ying, is there something you'd like to say?"

"I, I… I have an idea." Meng Ying Ying's little face blushed as she clenched her fists nervously, looking at Chu Tian. She stammered a reply, "We can open up a charging station and hire some cultivators to work there. Then oridanary people can charge their electric lamps there. This way, that problem can be solved."

Xiong Tian Yan quickly replied, "Teacher is correct. We can even charge a fee for the charging station. Wouldn't it be good to make extra money? The business is currently lacking funds, and this can be considered a good plan."

Meng Qing Wu did not agree with the plan, she gently shook her head.

Chu Tian answered for her, "The selling point of our electric lamp is affordability, convenience, safety, practicality, if we do that we lose out on the core thing that makes us superior, it would be better to use candles in that case.

Meng Ying Ying's face fell with an expression of disappointment.

Chu Tian comforted her, "Your plan is still good. But it's just not the correct approach for the electrical lamp."

Meng Ying Ying smiled sweetly, not dwelling on the matter.

Chu Tian continued, "I've already thought about how to fix that problem. I'm about to begin research on a long-lasting, inexpensive solid energy source. It will also use sunlight to recharge. This will solve the problem of the electric lamp's power source."

Meng Qing Wu's eyes brightened, "Can you really do it?"

Chu Tian replied with extreme confidence, "What, you don't believe me? Your job is to build and manage the company, you don't have to worry about the technical aspects! There's won't be a problem as long as I'm around!"

Chu Tian was very arrogant, but he had a good point.

Meng Qing Wu appeared to be set at ease!

The biggest problem was now resolved!

A servant hastily rushed over and presented a letter, "The mayor sent an invitation! He is asking Master Chu Tian to participate in the handover ceremony for the resource rights!

Chu Tian heard this and replied with a blank expression, "Handover ceremony?"

"The purpose of this competition in the Summit is dividing up territory." Nangong Yun replied with a strange expression, "You didn't know any of this and you still joined?"

I really didn't know!

It turns out the Summit Meeting Big Competion had such an important meaning?

But after all, this wasn't a bad thing. Chu Tian accepted the invitation.

"Let me tell you, that guy is really crafty, you have to be careful." Nangong Yun said to Chu Tian who was being too unconcerned, "Remember, don't accept too many favors, he's a person that does things for profit. The more generous he is the more he is looking for a deal! If he brings up any plans on investing, you may kick him. That damn old demon! Who told him not to give me money!"

The Nangong Eldest Miss was also formidable, but Chu Tian only reassured by telling her that he would keep her suggestions in mind.

Meng Qing Wu stood up to say, "It's getting late, let's call it a day. Everybody should go home and rest!"

Everybody was a little exhausted.

They immediately stood up and left.

Chu Tian had long stopped living in his small room. Right now he stepped into a small courtyard. It was quiet and comfortable, very suitable for cultivation training.

The courtyard was so peaceful, not a sound could be heard. A cool breeze carressed his face.

Chu Tian inhaled the cool and refreshing air, gradually relaxing his mind. He lifted his head to look at the night sky, pitch-black eyes watching the stars distractedly.

The dark night sky was filled with stars.

Thirty thousand years ago to thirty thousand years later, from ancient times until now, this starry sky has never changed.

But underneath this starry sky, every living being alternated between glory and ruin, over and over, forming an eternal cycle that would continue on till the end of the world.

For an outsider, history was a bland descriptor. But for those who experienced it personally, it was a life of flesh and blood. Chu Tian now felt all of this.

One who is a peerless beauty.

One who has unmatched intelligence.

What's the point?

These are but a single pebble in the the great river of history!

Meng Qing Wu, Meng Ying Ying, Nangong Yun and the others, they were all lively figures. After many years, who would remember their existence? A king could move unhindered under the heavens, look disdainfully over the whole world, but still only be a ripple in the ocean.

Persistently cultivate, fight for fame, in the end it would all return to dust.

But if one were to only think that way, they would live a boring life!

Chu Tian travelled across time, the span of more than 30,000 years. It was inevitable for him to have wide and odd ways of thinking, for example...was it possible to achieve immortality?

Based on the historical records, the human lifespan was limited; the most anyone ever reached was around 1000 years. This was the limit of an ordinary person. Outside of this boundary was the domain of gods… so, could ordinary people break through this boundary?

They could!

Of course they could!

After 30,000 years, the most radical of scholars believed that the knowledge of their time was sufficient to challenge this boundary. The youngest Great Sage of the continent, Chu Tian, as it turns out, had been one of those radical scholars.

Chu Tian had often argued with those pedantic yet amateur old men over this problem.

However, that civilization had been in its prosperous age. The waste resources within continent was a huge problem. They could only stop at theories and were not able to put anything into practice.

Finally, Chu Tian stopped using his mouth to argue. The Miracle Commerce will become the stepping stones for Chu Tian to achieve his ambitions!

Miracle Commerce would not be the miracle of this age!

It would become Chu Tian's miracle!

With his knowledge and wisdom from the future, along with the rich spiritual energy and natural resources of this time, this type of advantage was something people had never seen, until now. It would be a waste if he did not take hold this opportunity.

Chu Tian was not a person who could remain contented. He had to give it a try!

He wanted to challenge the limits of human boundaries!

He wanted to explore the domain of the gods!

Would he succeed? Nobody knows!

There had never been a similar precedent in history before. But for a person like him, success was not the goal. As a person struggling against the heavens, the struggle itself was what brought boundless joy, did it not?

Every person needed their own dream, or else they would become lost in their path of cultivation.

Chu Tian's dream was to exceed the limits of an ordinary person!

He longed to see what the world would look like after a million years!

Chu Tian was still very weak!

Right now, the most important thing was to become stronger quickly!

Though the possibilities were numerous, Chu Tian had knowledge from 30,000 years in the future. As long as he had the money and resources, he was confident that he could make even an idiot like Meng Ying Ying smash into the number one spot as the strongest in the continent!

The problem was the lack of money and resources!

What use was this knowledge?

Would he dare to rush to the chance to change what their current situation?

A person's talent would arouse the envy of others. Ordinary people knew this, how could Chu Tian not?

Presently, he had already shown that he was one in a million, attracting the attention of the Ye clan. He had almost been put under their control, to be used at their beck and call.

Chu Tian did not have sufficient strength defend his current circumstances. He had better not use too much knowledge, or else he might arouse the attention of very powerful people.

There were other ways to establishing this large-scale company.

Chu Tian needed to amass his own influence, both to give himself protection and also to be able to plunder resources unrestrained. It was best to lay the foundations and make preparations early.

After all, if he could achieve his goals while establishing a business and increasing his influence, all the while experience new things in this era, he would enjoy the change in the setting, so why not?

From now on life would be bright and rich!

Chu Tian had a great sense of adventure, he was now wide awake. He immediately went into his room and searched for a white pill and swallowed it.

Magic Congealing Pill, this pill was refined with ingredients from the cave, and also the last of it.

Chu Tian felt the spiritual energy coursing through his veins become thicker. Like a monkey, he leaped around the courtyard, extending his muscles, and practiced his fighting techniques.

Punch like a spear!

Palm like a blade!

Each movement was full of grace and elegance!

After many hours, Chu Tian's body gradually warmed. The white mist of spiritual energy seeped out from his pores. He was not tired in the least, but was becoming more and more energetic.

"Ha!"

Chu Tian abruptly exclaimed.

Vibrant spiritual energy burst out of his body, forming a white cyclone around his body. Chu Tian's energy suddenly increased by three, four times!

Not only that.

Another breakthrough!

From the sixth rank of the body refinemeant realm, he was now at the seventh rank!

The whole process had only taken half a month. The speed at which he reached the seventh rank could be considered a mriacle.

Even though he had experienced a breakthrough, he still was not happy.

The concoctions from the cave was used up, but there was still a large gap for him to cross to reach the Spirit Awakened Realm, but there was no time.

Chu Tian understood clearly, relying on his current body, becoming a Spirit Awakened Cultivator in just two month's time? Go ahead and keep dreaming! Without five to eight years of hard training, it would be impossible!

Although his body had been in the spirit spring that improved his natural attributes, at best he could be considered a talented genius in this small territory. If he were to measure against the entire continent, he was merely a drop water.

The Du Clan, the Ye Clan, Ye Xiong especially, would not let be.

Who knew what shady methods he would use to help his grandson as well. Ye Xiong and Du Zhen Tian, were absolutely not to be trifled with.

It was fortuitous to have met Blood-weaved Python in that cave, but there would not be a second time. One cannot expect to always encounter great luck.

And then there was still the shortage of money.

Chu Tian could not sit idly awaiting death, so he had to hurry and make money. First he had to collect a large amount of resources, make a breakthrough in his cultivation, at least reach the ninth rank of the body refinement realm. He only needed to awaken a sliver of spirit power, Chu Tian believed once he accomplished that, even a spirit-awakened cultivator would not be able to match him.

But, in the end, the night is long and dreams are many.

Chu Tian's strength was just shy of withstanding Ye Xiong. Anytime he was met with danger, he still had to rely on Zhang Li Qing, Xiong Bing, and Nangong Yun's protection. Especially Nangong Yi, his foundation in Tian Nan City might not be deep, but for good or ill, he was the mayor of the city making his position and influence the largest.

Why else would Chu Tian decide to uncover his "intentions" in the Summit Meeting? The Nangong Clan was one of the the three great clans of the kingdom. Nangong Yi likely would not ignore his "intentions", and now that he saw them me would not ignore Chu Tian.

But anything of worth has its limits.

For now, Ye Xiong could not make a move. But when he did stike, it would inevitably be both formidable and unstoppable that even Nangong Yi would have difficulties.

It was not yet clear how much Nangong Yi was willing to invest in his relationship with Ye Qian. The mayor was the only person in Tian Nian City who could promote the fast development of Miracle Commerce. If the Miracle Commerce wanted stability, the only way to do that was to bring a tank to fight your battles.

Allowing the mayor's daughter, Nangong Yun, to join was for this very reason.

This was still not enough. Chu Tian needed to do something more to solidify the mayor's confidence in him.

So that no matter what the future may hold, the mayor would be able stand with him, duty-bound, with no thought of turning back!

The sky began to lighten.

Chu Tian stopped his contemplation. There were many things needed to be done. First, he should go see the mayor, Nangong Yi.

Chapter 41: The Crystal Treasure

As the morning sun rises a great bronze bull carriage appeared before the entrance. Hundreds of guards dressed in shining armour stood neatly before the entrance, looking like rows of tin cans; awaiting the arrival of the great Chu Tian.

Altogether they assembled with the carriage and convoy.

The sincerity of the mayor was quite high.

The allocation of territories did not really have a large effect on the mayor, but now, not only was he going to receive Chu Tian personally, he was also sending him a luxurious escort. It was very evident that he was trying to curry favor.

Of course it was hard to say that there were no ulterior motives.

However, for an ordinary citizen to gain an audience with the mayor, no matter how you looked at it it was a good affair.

Chu Tian was not the least bit anxious. If I had to go through a mountain of knives, I would take some as scrap metal; if I were to walk in boiling oil, I would take a bath in it. To take advantage of the circumstances despite the danger, this was his style. The word fear was not in his dictionary.

Chu Tian sat in the carriage with no fanfare, and the hundred or more escort of bodyguards departed with him to the outskirts of the city.

Nangong Yi walked toward him. "President Chu Tian, you are finally here."

His long-sleeved outfit was as red as wine, his facial expressions were straight and stern with smooth lines, his oversized white cloak hung from his shoulders, on his head was a headpiece decorated with white cashmere, and his beard was finely groomed, making him appear as an aristocrat from top to bottom.

"Pardon me, I made the mayor wait."

Chu Tian walked over to the the two large bronze bulls and patted the hides that were hard as iron, clicking his tongue in admiration.

"The mayor really is an uncomparable mayor. Your carriage is also extraordinary. And the fighting power of these bronze bulls are around the seventh or eighth level of the Body Refinement Realm. It's defensive capabilities can be compared to the seventh level of the Body Refinement Realm spirit beasts. "

Nangong Yi's eyes glittered as he promptly replied with a smile, "This carriage came from the capital. These bronze bulls have gone through special domestication so they will absolutely follow the orders of their master. Their endurance is strong and their battle prowess is nothing to scoff at. They not only pull the carriage but can even act as bodyguards. Among the carriages in Tian Nan City, this carriage should at least be among the top ten."

A carriage from the capital?

Absolutely the finest of them all.

Nangong Yi continued, "This carriage is one zhang high and eight chi. The inside is cast with cold iron, the outside is forged with fiery bronze. The details in the carving is intricate and the structure is encompassingly beautiful. While in motion, you won't feel the bumpiness of the road nor be jostled around. It has strong defensive capabilities that can withstand attacks from cultivators below the spirit-awakened realm, guaranteeing the safety of the rider."

Chutian nodded, "Good, good!"

Nangong Yi noticed the change in Chu Tian's expression, and said out of the blue, "As a gift for our first official meeting, as mayor, I would perhaps give you the bull carriage as a gift. Will you accept it?"

Why, how generous!

The mayor was a wise old fox, he would not be so generous without any reason.

Chutian feigned bashfulness, "Oh, how could I accept such gift?"

Nangong Yi chuckled. "Mayor still has other similar carriages, there is no problem with giving you one. Moreover, you have offended quite a number of people. My informer just told me that Ye Xiong had begun making inquiries about you."

"Making inquiries? Hah! What is there to look into??"

"Well that, I don't know. What I do know is that Ye Xiong had sent out several groups of people to the Central Continent that night, and we don't know whatever they have up their sleeves."

Chu Tian knitted his brows and said, "Oh? Such an incident happened??"

"Don't be too anxious about it, although the Ye's influence is very big, Tian Nian City is my territory. They still have to give me face."Nagong Yi then put on an appearance as he if were intensely loyal to his friends, "However, it's easy to hide a bright gun yet difficult to hide a stab in the back. This carriage has more use if offered to you. You surely need it more that I do!"

Chu Tian no longer refused. "Since the mayor's generosity is difficult to refuse, it would be pointless for me to do so. Thank you for your generosity!"

Nangong Yi's words of warning were simply tossed aside. Chu Tian did not care about any such attempts on him.

A man must have a good carriage after all. This bronze bull carriage could be considered the highest quality in Tian Nan City. If he took it out into the streets it would be very eye-catching.

Nangong Yi nodded, thinking to himself, "He accepted a gift from the mayor without batting an eye, accepting it with a completely clear conscience, as if he were a son receiving a gift from his father. This fellow is really thick-skinned, he will be great someday."

The bronze bull carriage was not considered to be of the best quality in the capital. One could buy it with more or less ten thousand gold. But in Tian Nan City, there was no place to buy it so the price doubled.

Nangong Yi was bleeding inwardly but one could not see it on his face. He spoke cheerfully, "You are the first place winner of the big competition, so you gain monopoly over the extraction of four veins of ore for a whole year. In addition, you also have the authority to use the forest and spirit farms, the time limit is also one year."

Chu Tian was a little hesitant.

Nangong Yi was shrewd and unscrupulous and could tell what Chu Tian was thinking, "You can also transfer the authority of ore-extraction to other people and charge them rent, you can save time and energy this way. What do you think?"

I see!

The old fox was eyeing these fatty pieces of meat.

Miracle Commerce was just newly established, they did not have sufficient manpower to begin with. Where were they to find miners and farmers?

Even if they found miners and farmers, would Miracle Commerce really be able to carry out resource extraction with no worries? Do not be stupid! The Ye clan and the Du clan would not openly cause a disturbance because of the resource division agreement, but behind-the-scene tricks would surely be unavoidable.

Miracle Commerce was just newly established and it was important to not lose focus. It did not have time to manage these things.

But the benefits of the mines, spirit farms, and forests were not small.

Right now, aside from the mayor, nobody really wanted to receive this hot potato.

Chu Tian did not bat an eye.

"I should take a look first."

"Alright, I will show you."

The mayor was feeling very gloomy.

This crafty guy. even with such strong hints, you still act dumb!

There were four mines in total: a crystal mine, and four metal mines. The crystal mine was the most valuable. It could produce a grade 1 fire crystal that could exceed the value of the three metal mines combined.

The forest and and spirit farm were also not bad. The forest was a large tract of land very suitable for hunting and breeding. Inside, it had many wild beasts, spirit grass, and legendary elixirs. The farm land needed no special introductions, it was a well cultivated piece of land very sutiable for planting various medicinal herbs.

It was really rich and fertile, no wonder all the large clans were red in the face fighting for it.

Even though these resources were all very attractive, Miracle Commerce did not have the means to take advantage of them. They had no other choice, Nangong Yi was sure to take advantage of him.

How could this be?

Chu Tian was an easy-going person. He was not overly concerned with meticulously counting gains and losses, but he did not want to be ripped off either. Might as well drag this on and keep the mayor on his toes. If the mayor were to speak first then all the advantages would be with Chu Tian. In this way Chu Tian could get the best deal.

But Nangong Yi was no fool. How could he not know what was going on. Even though he wanted it very much he did not speak. He acted as if he did not care about the resources very much and was only courteously showing Chu Tian around.

This young genius would truly understand the meaning of the the heart's yearnings. He would not be offended.

From the very beginning, it never occurred to Nangong Yi to make threats. Getting the resources from Chu Tian would be good, but even if he did not give it to him, Nangong Yi would not treat him poorly.

Thus these two people whiled the time away in this matter.

Suddenly, a large, eye-catching mine appeared in their view.

There were no miners in the vicinity, only soldiers that encircled it in a strict formation. If you did not look closely, it seemed more like army barracks than a mine.

Chu Tian asked with curiousity, "What's going on in this mine?"

Nangong Yi replied, "Oh, this? This is a liquid crystal mine that is under my control. It's not very valuable, however, I keep it guarded in case spirit beasts or outlaws try to enter. After all, liquid crystal is very dangerous. If it were to explode, it would affect Tian Nan City greatly."

Chu Tian's eyes brightened, "Liquid crystal? It's crystal oil!"

"Right, it's that sort of thing."

"Let's go in for a look!"

The two people entered the mine. The extraction equipment of this mine was simple and crude. In fact, it did not really require extraction equipment at all, because once they entered the mouth of the cave they were immediately at a small cliff.

The cliff was about 10 meters high, at the bottom, a white glowing object could be seen.

The white glowing object was not solid, but a type of viscous and gelatinous liquid. The color was very pure, it flowed very slowly and formed a small lake, it looked like a white mirror at the foot of a mountain.

A look of uninhibited pleasure flashed across Chu Tian's eyes. "This crystal oil mine is completely under the mayor's control?"

How strange.

What sickness has this kid got?

Crystal oil was an extremely cheap natural resource. Few people found a use for it. Everywhere in the world, supply exceeded the demand. This deposit of crystal oil was of no interest anyway and the whole continent was full of such idle oil mines.

What was this kid interested in?

The mayor nodded, "Yes that is the case."

"I want this oil mine." Chu Tian said decisively, "I want to trade authority of extraction of the mines, forest, and spirit farm for one year with you for this mine."

Nangong Yi staggered, almost tripping, "You… what did you say? You want this mine?"

Chu Tian nodded, "I have one condition, the mayor must provide the guards and assist in the extraction of the oil. Do you agree?"

Is there only wind in your head?

A meaty pie just fell from the heavens!

"It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

Nangong Yi was secretly delighted, he laughed and said, "I won't keep it from you, the oil reserves in this mine is very abundant. You won't find two in the whole continent that could compare to this one. Even though the price of crystal oil isn't very high, at least the quantity is. After all, Miracle Commerce wouldn't be able to harvest the other sites within the year. In comparison, you can have this mine forever. You can all wait until the company has matured, and you'll be able to extract it for ten to twenty years. Who knows how much you'll profit."

Even Nangong Yi did not believe his own words.

Make money from the oil mine? Rubbish!

Trading a rundown mine for excellent quality resources was a hugely profitable business transaction.

The mayor was thinking that this crystal oil was highly unstable. After shaking it and mixing it with other substances it would cause a huge explosion. Up to this day, there was no other use for it other than adding a small amount to certain dangerous weapons.

Even though this mine was quite large, nobody ever showed interest in it. Even though it was under the mayor's control he did not earnestly carry out extractions because it was uncertain if it would sell. If it were extracted and ended up being stored only within the city walls, then it would make the city a ticking time bomb.

How could Chu Tian not know what the mayor was thinking?

This idiot!

A look of pity appeared on Chu Tian's face.

The scientific name of crystal oil was liquid crystal. It was not genuine crystal and it was not even an ordinary mineral. It was created by microorganisms.

This type of microorganism existed within the crystal ore and ate it as food. After these microorganisms died, they precipitated in the rock layer and through the passage of 10 or so billions of years became this precious crystal oil.

Crystal oil played a huge role in the history of the continent. It was the fuel of civilized society, the lifeblood of science and technology, the foundation of industrialization, the master of wars, the support of a nation's power!

After twenty thousand years, where more intelligent lifeforms lived, crystal oil had been extracted to near depletion.

This type of natural resource was already conisdered very precious and rare in the continent. Countries would fight over control of an oil mine and wars would erupt over them.

In Chu Tian's generation, the crystal oil of the continent was almost exhausted,so people had no choice but to search the heavens for mines. The price of energy shot up, and they could only regret and think of the golden age of the past.

Now though!

The low-cost crystal oil could not be compred to iron ore.

Crystal oil could be classified into three kinds: the first was gold colored, the second was silver colored and the third was white.

This was the lowest grade crystal oil. Right now, it was nearly worthless, but after 10 thousand year, it would be more than enough to buy a few fertile counties.

The oil mine was now in his hands.

It seemed that Miracle Commerce was receiving divine help.

Chu Tian suppressed his excitement and imemdiately said to Nangong Yi, "Help me get a bottle of oil. I wish to take it back to study."

Nangong Yi hurriedly said, "The crystal oil is very unstable once it leaves the mine. If it's shaken or mixed even a little, it will cause a terrifying explosion. Only professionals dare to touch it. Please don't act reclessly."

Chu Tian said, "I have my own precautions. Let's quickly head back and sign the contracts for the exchange. I'm handing over all those resource sites to you mayor!"

Nangong Yi was extremely excited.

Bring just one bottle of oil.

In his view it wasn't a huge problem to let him take some back to look. Now he must just seize the moment and sign the contract.

Chapter 42: Luring the Mayor

Mayor's residence

Two people will sign the contract for the resources exchange.

Only after the contract signing is finished would Nangong Yi believe it to be true.

There was unexpectedly such a stupid fool in this world? Would they really exchange a rundown oil mine for excellent quality resource sites?

The mayor only persuaded them a bit before this fellow was completely willing to the exchange!

Of course, the mayor was very happy. Perhaps he could never have, in his wildest dreams, imagine that after a year, he would extremely grieve over this decision.

The mayor was secretly delighted at that moment.

……….

Chu Tian picked up the pen and paper and scribbled something down.

Chu Tian was thinking hard while writing down a dozen or so recipes, "Have a look at this for me mayor, which of these ingredients can be found in Tian Nan City? I have an urgent need for them."

These materials were actually very common

After all, Tian Nan City was not a region with poor natural resources. There was no problem with writing down extra just to be on the safe side.

I haven't seen most of these before, Tian Nan City has the materials for the eight item." Nangong Yi continued to read the list aloud and then picked up some inexpensive items, then said in a clear voice, "There is money in the mayor's estate. If you really need it, I will have some people deliver it to you."

A thought suddenly occurred to Chu Tian, "Great. Thank you for your trouble, Mayor."

Very good!

With the materials, it would be possible to extract the crystal oil!

After all this was a generation where natural resources were still plentiful. Nobody cared about mineral deposits they did not know how to use, since there was plenty of other, more important resources. Why would they be interested?

Thanks to Chu Tian's foresight, he would certainly be able to snatch it from other people's faces. He would take hold of the mainland's rare natural resources, and use them all for himself. From this he could create his eternal glory and a place in history.

Nangong Yi cautiously took a glance over the names of the ingredients, "Blue topaz sand, crystal dust, moonlight grass, red coral juice, strong solvent… strange. Blue topaz powder and crystal dust are ingredients for refining tools. Blue topaz powder greatly increases the sharpness of weapons, while crystal dust increases the strength. Moonlight grass is an alchemical ingredient; red coral juice is an ingredient for making talismans. How can these possibly be put together? It's neither for refining tools nor for alchemy."

Chu Tian did not expect Nangong Yi to understand the items this much, "Apparently, Mayor is quite well-read."

Nangong Yi replied bluntly, "I have studied refining. I don't dare to claim great mastery, but I was relatively reputable in the capital."

The conversation sounded modest, but it really was not. After all, what kind of place was the capital? To say that one was relatively reputable in the capital, one might as well say that they are the number one figure in refining tools in Tian Nan City.

Chu Tian was curios about the techniques for refining tools in this period. He asked thoughtfully, "Does the mayor possess any masterpieces to show? Allow me to broaden my horizons."

Nangong Yi took out a dagger from his pocket. The dagger was about two and a half feet and scarlet-colored, the blade was curved similar to a viper fang. All in all it was sleek and also sharp, with a talisman engraved on it.

"This Flaming Serpent Dagger was made by me."

This dagger was what Nangong Yi considered to be his masterpiece. This small city's bumpkin, could produce this kind of exquisite quality? Chu Tian stood rooted on the spot in surprise. Afterwards, he bowed his head and gave his respects, while the Mayor was not at all pretentious.

Unexpectedly, Chu Tian only spoke lightly, "It's okay."

What do you mean okay?

Do you not have eyes, young man?

Nangong Yi knitted his brows, "Is it possible that President Chu Tian also understands the refining that was used?"

"I have briefly skimmed it. I don't really understand it, however, I can see a few problems."

Chu Tian took the Flaming Serpent Dagger and closed his eyes slowly, fingers lightly stroking the blade of the dagger, while a burst of invisible waves slowly diffused.

Heartsight!

[note: previously Heart's Eye]

He once again activated Heartsight.

Nangong Yi, overflowing with excitement, could not help but take a step back. Nangong Yi knew that Heartsight was capable of looking into the human emotions as well. It was not quite mind-reading, rather what one could perceive with Heartsight were evil intentions, good intentions, happiness, anger, sorrow, joy and so on.

The Mayor had just exchanged a worthless oil mine for a large amount of quality resources, and was feeling guilty.

Fingers lightly stroked over the back of the dagger.

Chu Tian opened his eyes, "Using melted volcanic crystals as the core, forged with red grain steel for the body, tempered in water for forty-nine days with the flame lizard blood and blaze beast scales. In addition to sealing the spirit of a Red Flame Serpent, there were three blessed methods used, which are…."

Not a single thing was missed.

This truly was quite surprising.

The Mayor muttered to himself, "The legend is true. Once Heartsight is activated, one will be able to clearly understand everything: the spirit, matter, energy—nothing can escape from Heartsight."

How frightening!

If used in battle, this power would be able to give insight to the enemy's weaknesses and intentions, giving the user the upper hand. This ability could even be used for treasure hunting. Treasures whose outward appearance were simple and unadorned, something an ordinary person simply would not have the means of identifying, would not escape the notice of Heartsight.

Nangong Yi was both envious and jealous.

How he resented this young eighteen year old.

How can he possess this kind of abnormal ability?

Chu Tian smiled serenely and tried to be enigmatic, "The Heartsight isn't really mysterious, it's just a very common ability."

Could he not pretend?

What a show off!

This made the Mayor extremely angry.

Nangong Yi had a bitter smile on his face, "President Chu Tian is surely joking. In the whole country, who else possesses- Heartsight?"

"This country is rather small." Chu Tian paused for a bit, and slowly explained, "Hyperfocus is good, Heartsight is also not bad, ultimately, both are generated by the ability of one's spirit and consciousness, which is commonly referred to as Spiritual Sense."

Nangong Yi, as a member of the Nangong Clan, was experienced and well-informed. However, he had never heard of this before. "Spiritual Sense? Can you tell me the specifics? "

"Spiritual Sense and strength do not possess a direct relationship, but they each do have separate domains of inferiority and superiority," Chu Tian paused a bit, and then continued, "The first domain is what is known as Hyperfocus, which is distributing Spiritual Sense to the organs of the body. The second level is the so-called Heartsight. During this time, the spirit and the consciousness can separate from the body, transcending the capability of the physical body's sensory organs in order to sense changes in materials, abilities, and even minds."

The young man was indeed enigmatic!

In just a few words, he unexpectedly opened up an unheard of domain.

Nangong Yi showed a dazed countenance. "Could it be that there is something that exceeds the Heartsight's, an even more advanced Spiritual Sense? "

Chu Tian nodded his head, and said, "Of course there is. A genuinely powerful Spiritual Sense can discern, within a thousand feet, a single flower and a single grass, a worm and an ant. Without exception, ghosts and evil forces, evil spirits and demons, all have nowhere to hide.

"Once one achieves a greater realm of Spiritual Sense, one can move a thousand miles, then come and go freely. Even more than that, one can transform the energy of an entity, manipulating the thoughts of other people, change ideas, even kill people without leaving a trace. With the highest level, according to the legends, one could bloom and wither flowers at a whim, almost like Divine beings."

Even Chu Tian has not managed to achieve the highest realm.

That was the realm spoken only in theories, even he had limits like an ordinary person.

Nangong Yi was a little bit dazed.

He's never heard of this before.

The human body could actually possess this kind of ability?

"What realm has your Spiritual Sense achieved?"

"Haha, Mayor looks at me with too much regard. Spiritual Sense is not directly related to the cultivation base, however it is influenced by spiritual strength. Since my cultivation base is quite low it is limiting the growth of my spiritual strength. Although I can activate Heartsight, it requires a great deal of effort and causes strain. I can only use it for a short period of time."

It was still unbelievable!

The words Chu Tian spoke sounded unbelievable.

Nangong Yi happened to possess a somewhat sharp intuition, so what this person had said was definitely not made up.

For the first time, Nangong Yi learned how huge the world was, but also how insignificant he himself was.

From his manner of speaking, the progression of Spiritual Sense seemed to be as easy as drinking boiled water. He could currently only activate Heartsight, the reason being his strength was still inadequate.

Chu Tian heaved a sigh, "In refining tools, Spiritual Sense is especially important. Forgive me for speaking so bluntly, but if one isn't in the domain of Hyperfocus, even with the innate skill, it would be difficult to achieve great success."

After saying that, Chu Tian returned the Flaming Serpent Dagger back to Nangong Yi. "The spirit of the Flame Serpent inside that dagger is very weak. I suggest that you prepare some Spirit-Cultivating Grass to keep it in for around one to two months. The dagger's power is bound to double."

Nangong Yi's expression became complicated, hesitating for a few seconds before speaking, "I have a favor to ask."

Chu Tian feigned his surprise, "Mayor, how can I be of service?"

Nangong Yi turned to Chu Tian with a hand cupped into his fist, "Can you possibly teach me the art of Spiritual Sense?"

Chu Tian laughed and said, "Spiritual Sense is not the same as fundamental strengths. It doesn't have a specific technique to practice on, and the levels of the spirit is deep and faintly discernible. It mainly relies on personal insight and transformation. Once one reaches their moment of truth, something will come out of nothing."

Actually, the method for cultivating Spiritual Sense does exist.

However, the difficulties of this method are rather high. Relying on the natural resources of the Country of Nan Xia as a foundation would not be sufficient and Chu Tian has other plans he was not yet prepared to reveal.

"Hey, are you saying that...I'm doomed without even a possibility of a chance?"

Chu Tian looked at Nangong Yi with a disappointed expression, "Mayor, you do not need to belittle yourself. It is not your skill that lacks. What you are lacking is a bit of luck."

Luck?

Everyone lacks luck!

Being born required luck, practice required luck, fortuitous meetings required luck. Who does not lack luck?

Chu Tian suddenly changed the subject, "Perhaps I can offer a technique capable of refining one's spiritual ability. Although it cannot directly cultivate Spiritual Sense, there is still a bit of supplementary purpose, for people who are lacking, they only have to remain committed to practicing for a short time, and the domain of hyperfocus should be no problem.

Nangong Yi gave an ecstatic countenance, "Really?"

Chu Tian's eyes flashed with a sliver of craftiness, "However, Mayor, this method is not readily available. I haven't even taught the method to anyone before, so it is necessary to have a comparatively long time to arrange my thoughts. I need to meditate in order to summarize the experience, only then will I be able to write it out.

"How much time do you need?"

"Probably around a month."

Nangong Yi was very impatient, "That long?!"

Chu Tian was serious, "Spiritual Refining is no small matter. One small accident could lead to endless trouble. At best you'd become disabled, wounded, and insane; at worst you'd be dead. I cannot be careless, so I must properly sort out my thoughts.

The young man spoke half truths and half lies.

He definitely had some kind of method.

Nangong Yi firmly believed it.

But did he really need a month?

Probably not necessarily.

This young man was deliberately delaying so as to let me, within this one month's time, protect him by any means and at all costs.

The temptation was honestly rather great.

This is a set of skills that aid in refining Spiritual Sense. It's value might exceed the technique the Nangong Clan passed down through the generations—Burning Heaven Technique.

The "Burning Heaven Technique" was a powerful force that was so destructive, but this kind of power was not lacking within the city. The mainland, even more so did not lack this kind of power. Chu Tian's method of refining the spirit was indeed something worth keeping. Not only does the city does not possess anything like it, other countries also had difficulties in producing something similar. Otherwise, it was impossible for Nangong Yi not to even be a little bit aware of it.

"Good!"

"Don't be so hasty. If what is necessary is a month, then give it a month!

"If this method turns out to be really useful, my Nangong Clan will surely be very grateful to you!"

Then its purpose had already been achieved.

Regardless of what methods of conspiracy the Ye Family used, the Mayor would put everything at stake to protect him. Unless the Ye Family's methods were too powerful that even the Mayor would be unable to protect him, Chu Tian was safe.

As for after a month?

What was there to worry about now? If everything ran smoothly, Chu Tian would most likely be in the Spirit Realm already.

At this moment, a servant pushed a handcart in, on it were several of the crystal pots. There was the blue topaz sand, crystal dust, moonlight grass powder, and red coral juice.

The materials were already here.

Chu Tian checked to make sure that there would be no problems, and with great care, moved the kegs filled with crystal oil out. "I will begin doing experiments. If Mayor is interested, then he may watch."

It was possible that these experiments were related to the crystal oil.

Was crystal oil not an extremely dangerous substance?

Could one just casually touch it?

If this young man were to bring about some kind of accident, this Mayor would have sustained great losses.

Nangong Yi had already been made impatient by the secrets of refining the spirit. Unexpectedly, he did not directly prohibit Chu Tian's experimentation, and simply stayed back to watch the proceedings. "Mayor will just look around and observe President Chu Tian's strategy."

Chapter 43: The Mayor's Shock

Blue topaz sand, crystal dust, moonlight grass powder, and red coral juice.

Four materials in 3:1:1:1 proportions. Adding the appropriate amount of the strong dissolving agent, let it dissolve in the dish by stirring for around 10 minutes or to produce 100ml of a blue saturated solution. The solution was then to precipitated and filtered so that a pure solution could be extracted.

Nangong Yi was astonished.

Chu Tian's movements were skilled, without the slightest signs of being like a novice. The process seemed not only incongruous but also suspicious. The materials did not even seem like dry materials anymore. How could they have mixed together? How was this possible?

Chu Tian stored the solution in a refining bottle and slightly heated it.

A refining bottle is a special bottle made for refining medicine.

Was it possible to use it for alchemy?

It was impossible!

Chu Tian calmly picked up a red crystal pen, composed himself and immediately started to write.

The moment thin pen tip gently touched the stage, it suddenly coming to life, as a mysterious rune was inscribed with mechanical precision. Gradually, an art like perfect pattern was inscribed.

Nangong Yi's mind went blank and he could not help but admire it.

Such perfect writing technique!

Such perfect technique!

If this Energy Source Array inscribed by Chu Tian was seen by the top masters in the Imperial City, they would have to commit suicide just to escape their shame.

Chu Tian calmly put the pen down.

A perfect triangular array design was presented.

The Energy Source Array was the foundation of the production profession, whether it be talisman creation, alchemy, or weapon refining.

The rank of Energy Source Array a person could draw had a direct relation with their mental strength. The stronger their mental strength, the higher the level of the Energy Source Array.

Currently, Chu Tian's cultivation was too low so he could only inscribe a level 1 Energy Source Array.

When he gave the level 2 detoxification alchemy array away, he had given the design, but could not personally draw the source energy array, so he let the Awakened Soul Realm Zhang Li Qing inscribe it himself.

However, the refining crude oil refinement was not complicated.

A level 1 array was sufficient.

Chu Tian completed his preparations and opened the bottle of crystal oil. Carefully lifting the bottle, he made to pour out the crystal oil.

Nangong Yi eyes popped out.

Insane!

This fellow was insane!

He really wanted to experiment with the crystal oil!

Nangong Yi's face immediately soured, but he did not dare snatch the bottle of oil away but immediately warned, "You can't mess with that! Crystal oil is extremely unstable, even a little bit can cause a terrifying explosion. The house could be blown away and we may both die."

For thousands of years.

Countless times people had attempted to control this incredible energy

Frightening accidents were the only thing they had to show for it. Again and again, bloody and painful lessons continue to emerge, as if announcing to the people that the crystal oil was uncontrollable.

Once the crystal oil overheated, the substance churned and it was extremely likely for there to be an explosion.

Its power could easily blow a hole in the Mayor's palace.

Actually, it did not matter if the Mayor's palace exploded, but if this fellow died, then where would Nangong Yi learn to refine his Spiritual Sense?

Who would have thought that the brat would ignore his kindness and reply arrogantly.

"Mayor, don't worry. I already know this."

You know, my ass!

He did not know that his life was already hanging by a thread!

"Quickly stop!"

The Mayor almost knelt down in front of Chu Tian.

However, this reckless fellow poured the crystal oil inside the refining bottle. The crystal oil and the blue crystal sand solution blended in an instant. The temperature inside the bottle rapidly rose and a large amount of bubbles continuously spilled over. The entire refining bottle trembled, it was filled with brewing destructive energy.

Nangong Yi's soul was about to fly out of his body!

"Run! It's about to explode!"

Even if one was an Awakened Soul cultivator, being this close to a crystal oil explosion would still cause great harm.

Chu Tian ignored him and pretended he was not there. Places both hands on the refining platform, the Energy Source Array began to glow and energy spilled out, invisible energy building up in the bottle.

This was simply suicide!

Was the crystal oil mixture not enough?

Chu Tian actually regarded the famously volatile material as simple medicine and tried to refine it with an Energy Source Array. You would not find anyone else on the continent willing to try this kind of crazy procedure out.

Even if Nangong Yi wanted to prevent it, there was no more time do so.

Because of the out-of-control crystal oil's deadly flash, he was only able to see the refining bottle explode, emitting a strong reaction that blossomed out incomparable dazzling rays, similar to a small sun.

Not good!

Nangong Yi gathered his energy around him to create a red protective bubble around him, preparing to meet the explosion.

One second!

Two seconds.

Ah? How come nothing has happened yet?

Nangong Yi broke out in a cold sweat, eyes open wide as he stared.

The bright light that had been building up in the bottle dissipated and in its place was a blue light, no longer as dazzling as the one before.

Both of Nangong Yi's eyes bulged out, similar to a dead fish's eyes, and for a while he was rendered speechless.

The crystal oil had not gone out of control and exploded?

This was an illusion!

It was actually controlled?

But that was impossible!

Nangong Yi's brain could not comprehend what just happened.

Chu Tian pulled out five cylindrical tubes and poured a little bit of the thick blue and white liquid in each tube, sealing the tubes with a copper cover.

Five cylindrical tubes, put away in order.

Each tube was filled with the blue and white liquid, the short rods had congealed with blue and white radiance.

Slowly and with great difficulty, Nangong Yi asked in a shaky voice, "How did you manage to control the crystal oil?"

Chu Tian lightly smiled, "How do you think?"

Nangong Yi felt that his world had been turned upside down. "It's impossible! This is definitely impossible!"

Chu Tian acted like it was nothing more than a small matter. "In this world, nothing is impossible. We simply have not found the correct method yet. Do you know how crystal oil is formed?"

"How can I not know? The people of the continent already found that mystical microorganisms survive in the crystal ore by feeding off them. When they die, the body decomposes and transforms into the unusual high energy material. How does that relate to controlling the crystal oil?"

"Why not think a little and find the way to control it from the source?"

"Don't tease this Mayor. Are the two really related?"

Stupid!

Simply too stupid!

Chu Tian shook his head and sighed, "After eating the crystal ore, why doesn't the pressurized energy explode inside the microorganisms? Why does the crystal oil they leave behind become unstable after they die?"

How could Nangong Yi know this?

Chu Tian immediately replied, "The microorganisms secrete a mysterious substance. This substance is called 'Inert Substance' by scholars. It's effects are to suppress the active energy. Just like how boiling water can freeze into ice, the primary composition does not change, only losing its active nature."

Nangong Yi seemed like he was thinking of something, "You mean..."

"Right, as long as we can figure out the composition of the inert material, we can simulate it." Chu Tian picked up the refining bottle, "I didn't control the crystal oil. I merely sealed it, that's all. It has become a safe compound, even if stored in large quantities, there won't be a problem."

To prove his point, Chu Tian poured the excess onto the stove.

When the blue-white liquid came into contact with the flame, not even a small reaction occurred, almost as if it was completely different substance.

While everyone was thinking about how to use the energy in the crystal oil, Chu Tian did the opposite and suppressed the energy inside.

The crystal oil poured onto the stove had not evaporated nor exploded. It was simply unbelievable!

Nangong Yi still did not fully understand. "After sealing it, the inert crystal oil does not burn or explode, how will you extract and use the energy inside?

Chu Tian smiled, "I still need to research that. Perhaps in a few days, I'll figure it out, but I can't be sure."

The answer to the question was actually very simple.

However Chu Tian would not reveal it for the time being.

Once the continent mastered this technology, civilization would advance a thousand miles a day.

Chu Tian showed him this much and that he was without any special goal so the Mayor was relieved.

With Chu Tian's techniques, this type of dangerous substance could be extracted, refined, and safely stored in the Miracle Commerce warehouse without worry for public safety.

Nangong Yi wiped his sweat away.

Being with Chu Tian for a long period of time, it was impossible not to have a heart attack!

Chu Tian's method to control and stabilize the crystal oil would definitely cause a huge stir. Nangong Yi finally understood why he wanted the oil mine.

Suddenly Nangong Yi had a thought.

Did this fellow invent the crystal oil refining method by accident?

Would this not raise the price of crystal oil exponentially?

Damn! If he had known he would not have given the oil mine away so easily.

In the Mayor's mind, he was already considering secretly taking out funds from his personal treasury to buy oil mines and try his luck. Perhaps in several years, he would come by easy money.

It was a crazy thought to invest in oil mines.

Ordinary people would not have come up with it.

Ten minutes ago, the Mayor also thought that oil mines were wasteful resources that no one wanted.

In such a short time, he had experienced such a large change in his views and everything is because of this young man. Come to think of it, this young man was someone who had repeatedly created miracles over and over again.

Nangong Yi ruefully said, "Your knowledge truly puts this Mayor to shame!"

Did he even need to say this?

In Chu Tian's eyes there was not even a difference between him and primitive man.

Perhaps even a three year old child from his time was already be far beyond the Mayor.

Chu Tian carefully wrapped the five crystal tubes. "Mayor, I need to go back and do some simple tests, so I shall take my leave."

Nangong Yi regarded the enigmatic Chu Tian, as there is no way for the Mayor to be contrary, he only said, "I will have a group of bodyguards escort you."

"Many thanks to the Mayor!" Chu Tian walked two steps. He suddenly remembered something and turned around to say, "In two days, the first hotel of the Miracle Commerce's Food Department will have its grand opening. I hope that the Mayor will attend to support us, since it does involve your daughter's investment as well."

He wanted the Mayor's support for a restaurant?

This request seemed a little excessive.

However, Nangong Yi reluctantly agreed.

Even if he did not consider creating relations with Chu Tian, based on his daughter's personality, he would not dare refuse or else the Mayor's palace would really be destroyed!

Nangong Yi personally saw Chu Tian off and arranged for an escort of one hundred elites to escort him back.

Today, Nangong Yi personally met Chu Tian. Not only to speak of the several natural resource fields, it was primarily to test Chu Tian, and he also wanted to discuss the matters regarding investing in Miracle Commerce.

Chu Tian's performance was beyond the anything Nangong Yi could imagine!

This made Nangong Yi more resolute in his thoughts.

Although there was a price for offending the Ye family, to win over Chu Tian, any price is worth it.

Nangong Yi did not raise the matter of buying stocks. Since it would have been impossible for Chu Tian to agree why hurt their relations by asking?

Besides Nangong Yun had already joined Miracle Commerce as one of the executives.

Chapter 44: Magic Battery

Evening.

Meng Qingwu returned with an exhausted face.

"Has the president come back yet?"

"President came back a long time ago!"

"What is he doing?"

"He locked himself in his room all day after coming back from the Mayor's palace. We have no idea what he's doing."

That fellow was doing more strange things!

Meng Qingwu directly went up to Chu Tian's door and knocked.

The door opens and out pops half a head, "Ah, young miss?"

The young miss had a fine white gauze covering her body, similar to smoke in the fog. Other than her head of black hair, her body was pure white like fine snow. Her face was beautiful and modest, a kind of transcendental fantasy.

Beautiful!

The beauty of the young miss encompassed 360 degrees!

No matter the time or the place, it took people's breath away!

Chu Tian grabbed the hand of the young miss, "I was just about to go look for you. Quickly come into the room and let's talk."

Meng Qingwu was in front of her bodyguards when she was dragged into the room by this brat. Her cheeks blushed and she stared at him angrily, "You might not care about what others think, but I'm not shameless like you.

"Sorry, sorry! You're not happy about this?"

Meng Qingwu's face soured, "We are all exhausted. Never mind that you don't even come help us. What is there to be happy about? Right, what did you discuss with the Mayor?"

Chu Tian poured a cup of tea for the young miss, "I considered the circumstances of our Miracle Commerce, so I did a little favour at no cost and transferred the resource rights to the Mayor's palace.

Meng Qingwu was not surprised, "We currently lack money, there must have been a large compensation from the Mayor right?"

"Nope, not a single copper plate."

"What? Not a single copper plate?"

Meng Qingwu was speechless.

Would the Mayor really bully people like this?

Chu Tian smiled and said, "Because I replaced the resource rights with the permanent development rights of the Mayor's crystal oil mine

Crystal oil mine?

Meng Qingwu was so mad she almost spat up blood.

This fellow, how crazy was he?

Meng Qingwu found that being with Chu Tian for a long period of time, it was impossible not to have a heart attack.

"Young miss, don't be angry. Look at me."

Chu Tian's jet black eyes were like stars in the night sky. They had a penetrating power that seemed like they could see right through people. Meng Qingwu's heart skipped and she quickly averted her eyes.

"You shifty-eyes, what are you looking at?"

Such a handsome face was unexpectedly being called shifty-eyes? Woman really liked being coy.

"My meaning is, do I look like a person who would suffer a loss?"

"What do you mean?"

Like magic, Chu Tian pulled out a crystal tube from his pocket. "Young miss, catch!"

The crystal tube was cylindrical shaped and inside was a bright liquid. Was it crystal oil?

Meng Qingwu trembled as the crystal tube fell onto the ground and bounced a few centimeters high.

Not good!

A huge disaster was about to happen!

Her beautiful cheeks turned white with fright!

Chu Tian picked up the crystal tube and gave it to Meng Qingwu, "Don't worry, while crude crystal oil is an extremely unstable substance, after special handling, this crystal oil is extremely stable."

Is it?

Meng Qingwu patted her high chest. She almost had a heart attack from the scare.

She looked suspiciously at the crystal tube. The blue and white liquid emitted a bright glow. Her cheeks complemented the glow beautifully, "Ordinary crystal oil is white, this really doesn't seem like it."

Chu Tian happily said, "It really isn't the same, have a closer look!"

Meng Qingwu found that the top of the crystal tube was sealed with a thin copper sheet engraved with some marks. At first sight, it seemed like a simple pattern, but on closer inspection, it was actually a source energy array.

Chu Tian smiles, "This is a energy output array. It changes the tube into a level 1 source energy battery. Come, let me give you a demonstration."

Chu Tian brought out a pear shaped bulb and inserted the source energy battery into the bottom of the light bulb.

Something impossible happened!

The source energy array inside the light bulb bloomed with light!

Chu Tian did not use any spirit energy!

The electric light was activated!

As if realizing something unbelievable, Meng Qingwu said, "Are you saying… source energy batteries can provide source energy for the source energy arrays. Therefore, they can be used to replace humans in activating the electric lamps?

"Correct!"

"My god!"

Meng Qingwu began breathing rapidly, her twin peaks fluctuating, as she quickly asked, "How long can they last?"

Chu Tian replied, "One lively street filled with electric lamps can be sufficiently powered for one year."

Powerful!

Too powerful!

Simply unbelieveable!

Meng Qingwu felt as if she were in a dream!

This crystal tube's capacity was 100 milliliters. The amount of crystal oil in it was around a dozen milliliters, yet it was able to power a lively block's electric lamps for a full year?

Wasn't crystal oil an inexpensive material?

The price for this energy was too cheap!

If Miracle Commerce had this cheap energy, then from now on, they would be able to develop ten li in a single day!

Source energy batteries, recycling waste into a treasure. Moreover it could be utilized with Miracle Commerce's multitude of products. Its true significance and value were immeasurable!

One could even say that this was an era starting invention!

Chu Tian was satisfied with the response of the young miss, "Since the Mayor defends this treasure mountain, but does not know how to use it, let us help him develop it. This oil mine is no small matter and we should take initiative. I plan to construct a battery factory, an energy production plant for South Sky City."

The energy in crystal oil was a biotransformed energy therefore, it was different from ordinary crystal stones. The source energy released was a non-attribute energy that could be used in source energy arrays directly.

All of the science and technology of the continent was based on source energy arrays!

Source energy battery was like a , it could open all the keys of science and technology. If this key did not exist, none of Chu Tian's inventions could be popularized.

Energy was the foundation of everything!

It could turn even garbage into a treasure!

This invention had the power to change the continent's civilization!

Was there anything in this world Chu Tian could not accomplish?

Source energy batteries were, in reality, nothing more than low-end access energy. Chu Tian did not know how many years it had been since he last used them, but to the continent's current civilization, it was an absolute milestone leap forward!

Overly advanced inventions, overly advanced technology, modern day infrastructure and production, could that be achieved? Stop joking. An era where crystal oil was regarded as waste oil was just like fire being discovered by primitive people. Do not expect them to suddenly develop demon crystal cannons.

[TL note - This sentence made no sense in chinese. This is the best interpretation I could make of it.]

There was no need to doubt!

Chu Tian once gave Meng Qingwu a great pleasant surprise!

Chu Tian has once again given Miracle Commerce a huge gift!

Even if Miracle Commerce did not do anything, as long as the technology spread and they waited for the value of crystal oil to increase, they could become richer than any one of South Sky City's companies.

What value did a single oil mine have?

Miracle Commerce would get more benefits!

Source energy batteries and electric lamps were different!

They were very likely to become unparalleled inventions in the future!

It was fine if people knew about the other things, but the method for creating source energy batteries must be kept a secret!

Meng Qingwu quickly said, "The time has not come yet to build the battery factory. For now, you must protect the method for creating source energy batteries. You can't let anyone know!"

Chu Tian froze, "Why?"

"Think about it. People do not recognize the value of crystal oil yet so the crystal oil is still very connected, but once they realize, in just 1-2 years, every oil mine in the region will be controlled by a major force. We will lose the initiative once source energy batteries are being rapidly produced. Our Miracle Commerce's poor production forces will fall behind. This great invention will be like giving bridal gifts to other families.

The modern age did not have things like copyrights or patents. Among competitions between merchant families, they would stop at nothing. There was no way to prove fake or genuine goods.

Strength was the truth!

If others stole your technology and made a fortune, who would you complain to?

Was it not difficult to convince people to protect a genuine product, have respect for intellectual property rights, not to buy pirated goods, and have core values? It would have been strange if people did not treat you as a mental patient and beat you until you're dead.

Chu Tian thought carefully, people were truly eager for quick success.

Meng Qingwu thought for a few seconds and said, "Let's not open the source energy battery factory for now, but let's buy a large amount of raw materials. We'll secretly refine them and store them away. After we have enough money, we'll buy up oil mines. Then once our production equipment and manpower is sufficient, we'll start mass producing batteries.

"With the young miss at the rudder of our Miracle group, it truly becomes more powerful!"

Meng Qingwu's cheeks turned slightly red. Avoiding the topic, she said, "Smooth talker, you should be more worried about yourself. After the summit ended, the Ye Family still has not made a move. I feel a bit restless."

Chu Tian shrugged, "With the General's house and the Mayor's palace behind us, how could Ye Xiong move against me so easily?"

"Even so, you can't be so negligent!" The young miss took a stack of thick paper and handed it to Chu Tian, "I've prepared these for you, take a look first."

"What is this?"

"I compiled a list of all medicinal herbs coming into the city. Take a look to see if there is anything that can be used. Also, I found a way to get some admission tickets for the underground Black Market,"

"What is this Black Market?"

"The Black Market is a very special market. It's very chaotic and very dangerous, but it is said that treasures frequently appear there. If there really is no other way, we'll have to test our luck there."

The young miss was very cold on the surface, but was actually very kind hearted. Usually she was indifferent, but she was even more anxious than Chu Tian. She was afraid that she missed some useful herbs.

Chu Tian was quite moved, "How much money do we have left?"

Meng Qingwu was somewhat embarrassed, "I've been spending a lot recently, so the commerce does not have spare money, but we can borrow some from Xiong Tianyan or Grandmaster Zhang."

Rare medicinal herbs, ranging from one thousand gold coins to many costing over ten thousand gold coins.

This was merely for level 1 medicinal herbs!

This was also merely the expenses of a Body Refinement cultivator.

After achieving the Awakened Soul Realm, the amount of medicinal herbs consumed was over ten times more. If one practiced a special cultivation technique, then they would need special herbs which would be exponentially more expensive.

Many experts depended on money to get stronger.

Juniors trained by large families, which one did not have a huge cost?

It was hard to succeed for impoverished family juniors. Without talent, they would achieve nothing their whole life. As for talented people, they would seek refuge or even hire themselves to large families to get resources.

Naturally there were those few with monstrous talent and those few with monstrous luck who could chance upon fortuitous encounters, finally becoming a top expert, but to meet such a person was truly difficult.

Chu Tian was eager to establish his company and forces, not just so he could easily occupy more resources, but to pave the way for the future.

He could not disappoint the expectations of the young miss.

Chu Tian quickly glanced over the list.

Even being from an era tens of thousands year ahead, most of the herbs' names were not that different. He got the general idea just from looking at the prices.

Genuine medicinal herbs require many years of cultivating, therefore they contain large amounts of spirit energy, which could promote cultivation directly. This type of material was treasured and expensive.

As for common consumption medicinal herbs, their growth rates were fast so they could be cultivated artificially. The main refinement, treatment, detoxification created drugs that rapidly consumed raw materials therefore the price was exponentially cheaper.

[TL note : It probably means the refinement consumes the energy in the raw material since they're cheap materials. It's worded confusingly in the raw.]

The raw material on the list cost generally from a few silver to a few gold coins. Such cheap materials, could there even be true treasure to be found?

No way!

South Sky City and even the entire kingdom was remote. The spirit energy was thin and the land was barren. Rare treasured materials were rarely seen.

Chu Tian was feeling disappointed, but was suddenly surprised.

"Well?"

"What's the story behind the meteor grass?"

Meng Qingwu looked at the medicinal herb Chu Tian pointed out, "Meteor grass is a common material, but has a strange nature since it only grows in a basin 200 li to the south. It's said that the basin was a place where a meteorite had crashed, so people call this material meteor grass."

Chu Tian's eyes got brighter and brighter, "How effective is it?"

Did not this fellow know everything?

How had he never seen meteor grass before?

He must know that in South Sky City, the production of meteor grass was very high, so it was known as a common material.

Meteor grass was used mainly to refine liquid medicine for bone and blood meridian treatment. For example, if an external force caused a bone fracture, normally it took a dozen days to heal, but with this medicine, it could be healed overnight. Normally this was targeted for use by Awakened Soul cultivators, but their bone meridians were tough and hard to break, but once damaged, it was hard to restore.

Chu Tian's face revealed an excited colour, "Ha ha, what meteor grass, this is clearly meteorite grass! Our luck is very good! This stuff is very useful to us!"

Chapter 45 : Meteorite Grass

This meteor grass was meteorite grass.

Meteorite grass, as the name suggested, is a herb grown from the special component of a meteorite falling to earth and mixing with the soil.

This material was not a medicinal herb, however its value was very astonishing. Only direct descendants of real nobility would have the capital to purchase it.

In this era it was used as a medicine to cure bone injuries?

It was simply abusing heaven's gift!

This was similar to getting hidden treasures like with the oil mine.

This was not Chu Tian's luck, but rather this era's stupidity!

Chu Tian said, "I want to make long-term purchase of large quantities of meteor grass, the first batch should be ten thousand! We'll see after that."

"Ten thousand?" Meng Qingwu was surprised. Although meteor grass was not a medicinal herb, it still costed several gold coins for one unit. "Do you want all of the meteor grass in South Sky City?"

"Meteorite grass isn't used the way you think it's used, it needs to be used in large quantities for it to display its true value. Ten thousand is too little, it's only enough for a few people to use for a few days. To be honest, I plan on acquiring the whole basin."

Acquiring the whole basin?

Although the meteor grass was not a medicinal herb, it was still a good healing drug.

The liquid medicine made from meteor grass sells very well and the demand for it is very high. The meteor grass basin was already controlled by a large family and to contract them would require a large sum of money.

Meng Qingwu, who could not bear it anymore, finally asked, "What use does the meteor grass actually have? Is it worth attaching such importance to it?"

Chu Tian did not reply, but looked her up and down.

Meng Qingwu felt his gaze and took a look at her own body. Her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment. Angrily she rebuked, "I'm asking you something! What are you looking at me for?!"

"Does young miss have any chronic injuries?"

"How did you know? Did Yingying tell you?"

"I can tell." Chu Tian lightly smiled said, "Your innate meridians are injured, causing you to be sick from birth. It's hard to endure every night and it's worse when you use spirit energy, am I right?"

Chu Tian even knows this?

This brat could deduce so accurately!

Even my little sister doesn't know about this!

When her mother was pregnant, she was once ambushed by her personal enemies and was injured. Two months later, Meng Qingwu was born, but Meng Qingwu's innate meridians were damaged. Although it was not enough to cause her to be a disabled person, it still brought inconveniences.

Meng Qingwu could not fight whenever she wanted. Whenever she stimulated her meridians and used spirit energy, she felt pain like being gnawed by a hundred ants which was hard to endure. However this was a congenital deficiency, and therefore could not be cured by medicine.

Chu Tian said confidently, "There are many methods of treatment. Remoulding your physique with meteor grass is one of them."

Really?

This congenital deficiency could be cured?

This deficiency had brought too much trouble and distress already.

For more than twenty years, she had already gotten used to it. She did not dare think that it could be cured.

Chu Tian was still grinning, "If you don't believe me, then let's make a bet. If I can cure you with the meteor grass, then you'll kiss me. If I can't do it, then you kiss me. Nobody owes anyone anything, what do you think?"

Meng Qingwu stared at him, "If you speak such nonsense again, I'll really get angry!"

The young miss, her face was thin and she was fierce, one could not crack a joke with her.

Chu Tian quickly put on a laughing face, "Calm down, calm down, but we must buy the meteor grass."

Meng Qingwu said worriedly, "To buy ten thousand, we need at least one hundred thousand gold coins. The company is on a tight budget right now and I'm afraid we won't be able to spend that much. Yingying and I have no problems as long as there is enough for use for now.

"What are you afraid of? The restaurant should be open for business soon."

"That may be, but…."

"Don't worry about it." Chu Tian had a lot of faith in the Miracle Restaurant, "I have a hunch that our first pot of gold will be in our hands soon. I don't like to drag my feet. We need to obtain the ten thousand herbs as soon as possible. I have use for them soon."

"Fine, you want ten thousand herbs, then I'll get ten thousand herbs. After all you are the president."

To get ten thousand was actually a big burden on the company, but she did not doubt Chu Tian's words about money being sufficient, plus she could always borrow more money form Xiong Tianyan.

Lacking money!

Really lacking money!

It was imperative to begin the operations of the Miracle Restaurant soon.

The important brand of Miracle Commerce, the Miracle Restaurant's grand opening was being paid close attention to. However the company heads were Meng Yingying and Nangong Yun, both of whom had caused a great uproar once in South Sky City.

One was the witch of destruction.

The other was the stupid silly girl.

These two were famous for their beauty, but they were not business capable people. Appointing them as the ones responsible for such an important part of the company, was that not asking for trouble?

As soon as the news was released, ridicule, questions, and all kinds of gossip spread throughout the city.

What snobs!

Meng Yingying and Nangong Yun held in their anger and clenched their teeth as they advanced forward. Let the people think of them as useless, but when the time came, they would not believe their eyes.

For the opening of the restaurant, both of them worked from day to night and spent all their time in the restaurant. Without resting, the two finished the planning, layout, and publicity. They assumed full responsibility for every matter.

Meng Qingwu also wanted her sister to get some experience, and therefore took the role of providing backup support. Any people they needed, any things they required, and provided money when needed. Only if there was a big mistake in decision making would she personally step in.

Chu Tian, this hands-off store owner was ignorant of it all, but was curious why he had not seen Meng Yingying in two days.

On the day before the opening, Meng Yingying called in Chu Tian to perform a technical maintenance before the grand opening.

This was a prime location in South Sky City.

The four story tall building was situated near the crossroad, so transportation was convenient. The restaurant was tall and big, in good repair with big glittering advertisements, that had flying dragons and dancing phoenix written out in clearly distinguishable words even from hundred of meters away that read, Yingying Hot Pot City.

[TL note: I really wanted to write city hot pot….god damn mongolians broke my city wall]

Chu Tian took one look and was happy, "This name has some meaning behind it."

Meng Yingying small face turned red, "Elder sister said that Miracle Restaurant must be divided into low, middle, and high—three different classes. This is the low class dining room which is targeted at ordinary cultivators and mercenaries, so the low class facilities serves hot pot to attract guests."

Chu Tian did not understand, so he asked curiously, "What are the middle and high class dining rooms called?"

"The middle class dining room is called, 'Secret Cloud Territory'. It was named by Sister Nangong and is mainly a large scale buffet. Finally the 'Grand Miracle Hotel' is targeted towards high end clients and serves exquisite luxurious cuisine."

The hot pot was cheap, the buffet was quick and convenient, the saloon was high grade.

Three different dining rooms corresponding to the customer's social status.

Chu Tian did not excel in business, but as long as he had the young miss, everything would turn out fine.

Yingying Hot Pot City's four floor building was something that Southern Cloud Commerce spent several tens of thousand of gold coins to acquire this restaurant. Each floor was equipped with more than a hundred dining tables and several elegant private rooms, altogether it was enough to accommodate one hundred people. After around ten days of refurbishing, each table had a source energy pot attached to the table to ensure that it could not be stolen.

Everyone was nervously preparing.

Sixty-seven workers built a platform in front of the restaurant's gates.

The waiters of the restaurant were eighty staff members sent over from Southern Cloud Commerce. They were busy cleaning the grounds and decorating with potted plants and ornaments. In the kitchen, there were more than a dozen chefs preparing pork, lamb, beef, venison and the like.

Naturally they were all low level demon beast meat.

Preparing the hot pot soup base was also hard work.

Dead demon beast meat was stewed with herbs beforehand.

Chu Tian's job was to inspect the the source energy pots to ensure that they work properly for the grand opening. Otherwise they would have problems on the first day which would not be good for their reputation.

"Everything has been inspected. There's nothing wrong with it. You can relax now."

Nangong Yun and Meng Yingying both let out a sigh of relief.

Several people returned to hold a short urgent meeting to prepare for any possible incidents that might happen tomorrow. They were very meticulous in their preparations over the past few days, there shouldn't be any internal incidents that occur.

The most important thing was to guard against outside interference.

However, tomorrow Nangong Yi, Xiong Bing and the others would be here, so even if Ye Xiong wanted to cause trouble, it would not be easy for him to do so.

Meng Yingying was excited, but also worried, "You think we'll be alright tomorrow? What do we do if it goes wrong?"

Nangong Yun slapped the table, puffing in indignation and said, "Crow's beak, our tired days, our dried out brains, how could there still be an accident that'll occur?"

That being said.

It was obvious to everyone that the one most worried was Nangong Yun herself.

Meng Qingwu understood their feelings, who did not have a first time doing something? She smiled comfortingly and said, "We've already done everything that needs to be done, so stop overthinking it. You two haven't rested in several days, so go home and sleep well tonight. You need to be full of spirit for tomorrow's grand opening."

This was the summit of advertisement.

Just with the allure of the gimmick of cooking with source energy was enough to attract countless people.

Moreover, the Mayor, General, and Symbol Guild Master were all expectantly waiting. With this group of famous people coming, this was the star power effect don't you know? Since these people are coming, there wouldn't be a lack of people following them.

The star power effect, the top level hype, the gimmick of cooking with source energy, with this set of trump cards, it was hard for this restaurant to not become popular. There was nothing to even be worried about.

Chu Tian was about to say a few words of encouragement, who knew that before he could open his mouth.

The gate was knocked open.

A bodyguard scrambled to crawl in.

"Chairman!"

"Chairman!"

"A big problem!"

"Two people are fighting outside, not only did they damage our dining room, but when the staff went out to stop them, they injured them too. The situation is bad and I'm afraid it'll just become worse, please come out and see."

As soon as they heard the news.

Everyone was startled.

Fuck, which bastard unexpectedly dared to disturb them at such a crucial time?

Bad enough they had to compare martial arts, they had to do it on the street. Bad enough they fought on the street, they had to pick this street. Bad enough they had to choose this street, they had to fight in front of the restaurant!

What was even more hateful is that!

They had to damage the dining hall before the day of the grand opening!

Wasn't this clearly targeting them?!

Nangong Yun jumped out infuriated, "Bastard, whoever dares to cause trouble here, this old lady wants their lives!"

Chapter 46 : Arrogant Domineering

Two youths, one armed with a sabre, the other with a sword stood in confrontation in front of the restaurant. The two were both handsome and looked unnatural. One look and one could tell that they were both cream of the crop.

"Third brother, your Three Gale Swords' potential is exquisite. I willingly acknowledge my defeat."

"Ha, ha, Ninth Brother, there is no need to belittle yourself. Your Searing Flame Sabre skill is becoming more and more sharp, I could almost not resist it."

"I also started practicing the Reverse Waves Sabre skill, but I haven't found the right person to test it on so I don't know how strong it is."

"Ha,ha, how clever, it seems like brother has also hidden a skill."

"Let's go again!"

The two chatted while treating everyone around them as if they were nothing but air.

The onlookers were awestruck, the two men were people they did not recognize, but from their competition, it was clear that they possessed cultivations that were not the slightest bit inferior to the top talents of South Sky City.

At this time, an angry roar resounded from the distance.

"You bastards!"

A mass of flames dropped down from the sky and sunk into the ground. Its burning hot strength quickly spread and soon there were two deep holes left in the ground.

Nangong Yun's body was covered in flames as she slowly stood up. Lingering sparks were all over her body, her long red hair danced in the wind making her look just like an angry goddess. The shadow of the Fire Phoenix Spirit was partly visible which made it hard for people to look directly at her.

A strong, imposing manner!

A terrifying aura!

Onlookers hurried to move back out of fear.

The youth holding the sword's face showed a hint of fear, "Fire Phoenix's strength? You are the famous South Sky City's talent, Nangong Yun!"

The outside of YingYing Hot Pot City was seriously damaged. The ribbon cutting platform had collapsed, the store signs were destroyed, several staff members and guards were on the ground rolling in pain, and the grounds were a mess.

However it was lucky that it was only the exterior that was damaged.

The interior should have no problems.

However this still caused Miracle Commerce a lot of problems.

Nangong Yun was so angry that she almost lost it, "Why did you do this?"

The two youths looked at each other, in their eyes was a flash of mischief and they replied with a smile, "For fun!"

For fun?

For fun?!

These bastards actually caused this trouble before the grand opening just for fun?

"This beautiful young lady, why are you so angry?" The sabre armed youth laughed and waved his hand and said, "Didn't we just break a few things and injure a few servants? How much money do you want to be compensated, we'll pay double and let it end there!"

"Compensate? Can you do it?" Nangong Yun roared in an uncontrollable rage, "I want your lives! Look at this palm!"

"Nangong, not so fast!"

Chu Tian, Meng Qingwu and Meng Yingying walked out of the crowd.

Meng Yingying saw the damage to the restaurant, tears instantly formed in her eyes. For several days, she had worked hard to decorate the dining room. Each furnishing and ornament, Meng Yingying had personally hung up.

She had not thought that after a little while, it would all become like this?

How could she not be sad?

How could she not be heartbroken?

Meng Yingying was so angry her tooth roots were itchy.

[TL note : Is this a chinese thing?]

Seeing her little sister's heartfelt efforts being destroyed, Meng Qingwu also felt very angry!

However, she suppressed her anger and calmly asked, "Who are you people? We haven't offended you in any way!"

Meng Qingwu was cautious by nature. Without knowing the background of the two, she did not dare act rashly. What if it was a trap?

The sword holding youth did not even look at her and in a clear resounding voice said, "Who we are, you as a small person aren't qualified to know. Be sensible and quickly leave, stop ruining my mood!"

The sabre armed youth laughed wildly, "Ha, ha, third brother, you really are cold hearted aren't you? Such a nation destroying beauty and you won't talk to her? Beautiful girl, if you give me a kiss, I'll tell you who we are!"

The sword holding youth carefully sized up Meng Qingwu, "Oh? I never thought that a small place like this South Sky City would be able to give birth to such national beauties. You have no future in a small place like this, come to the Central State with me and I'll guarantee you will live a quality life.

The sabre armed youth smiled wretchedly, "Daytime lady, nighttime , don't forget to take care of this little brother."

[TL note : How lewd .]

They were too arrogant!

To so openly insult Meng Qingwu like this.

Even Ye Han could not compare to them!

But, it was not possible for a normal person to be this arrogant and domineering. The two did not have a simple background!

They should have come from the Central State, only people from Central State City would have this kind sense of superiority. It must also be their first time in South Sky City, or else it would have been impossible for them to not recognize Meng Qingwu.

This was very strange!

The first time they come to South Sky City, why would they make things difficult for Miracle Commerce?

Nangong Yun found it unbearable, "Sister Qingwu, they've gone too far! For people like them, I can kill them with one move!

"Nangong Yun, we know you and how strong you are. Today's matters do not concern you, you better not meddle in other people's business." The sword holding youth who did not know the relation between Nangong Yun and Hot Pot City, instead loudly said, "If you don't want me to cause trouble for Nangong Yi, obediently move out of my way!

"That's right!" The sabre armed youth loudly shouted, "Chu Tian, I never thought you would degenerate to this state, having to live off these women! If you're really a man, stop hiding behind women and come out!"

The three girls were surprised!

Did these two people recognize Chu Tian?

Was their goal also Chu Tian?

Why?

It wasn't someone from the Ye Family or the Du Family, rather it was Chu Tian's old enemy?

The sabre armed youth sneered and said, "I'll count to three, if you don't obediently roll out here and kneel to apologize to us, we'll burn down your store!

It really was an old enemy!

Chu Tian was puzzled, but some things you did not really need to understand that well. He walked out without any hesitation.

The sword holding youth said, "Don't you understand my words? Kneel!"

Chu Tian faintly smiled and said, "You seem to like comparing martial arts, how about we exchange moves?"

The eyes of the two youths flashed in surprise, like hearing a big joke, they simultaneously burst into laughter.

"A waste like you, unexpectedly dares to challenge us?"

"How funny! This is really too funny!"

The corner of Chu Tian's mouth moved into a sneer, "One after the other or do you want to come together?"

This was not a mistake!

Was this really Chu Tian?

The one who was so timid and meek in the past, the fellow who was quiet as a mouse?

The easily bullied fellow from the past, who did not even dare to fart?

The person in front of them, looked exactly the same, but his temperament was like heaven and earth!

The sword holding youth felt insulted, he could not help but become angry and said, "Ninth Brother, this bastard not only dares to not kneel when he sees us, but also dares to challenge us. This is simply going against the heavens, you know what we should do right?

"I understand, let's waste him to help him properly remember." The sabre armed youth sneered and walked over, "Do you want to pretend not to know us? Is it possible? This bastard will forever be a bastard! Even if you run to the ends of the earth, that fact won't change! See my sabre!"

The sabre armed youth exploded with a shout, his long blade burst with a white aura, just like a consistent white rainbow. The blade tore through the air, creating a deathly scream, as if tearing through space, as it mercilessly flew to cut off Chu Tian's knees. "First I'll break your legs!"

Nangong Yun clenched her fist.

Meng Qingwu blocked her, "He can deal with it."

The sabre armed youth was at Body Refinement 7th layer just like Luo Yu was at the summit. It was clear however that the sabre armed youth was not from South Sky City otherwise he would have known that Chu Tian had already defeated Luo Yu and he would not have been so careless.

Chu Tian's lips turned into a sneer, he shouted once and used a single right finger, "Scram!"

When!

The impartial finger, points at the sabre above!

Like a clap of thunder, the white sabre's aura was directly crushed!

The sabre armed youth staggered back, taking 6-7 steps, finally coming to a stop. He saw that on his hundred refined steel blade, was a hole the size of a finger.

With a single finger, he broke the sabre aura!

Furthermore, he left a hole in the sabre!

This was formidable strength!

"Waste me? Just with you?" Chu Tian, using his faithful finger, emitted a strong invisible aura, and shot at the sabre aura once again. The hundred refined steel sabre directly broke and it hit the chest of the sabre armed youth, directly cutting several meridians.

Puff!

The youth spurts out a mouthful of blood, panic-stricken he shouted, "Ah, stop!"

Chu Tian's ten fingers turned into a pale gold gold, separately imbuing each finger with strength. He shots his finger aura through the youth's body, sealing off several main meridians.

The youth was continuously being run through with the finger aura and he fell down with a scream. He could not feel his meridians at all. Unable to summon any spirit energy, his face turned deathly and he shouted, "Wait, I admit defeat, don't hit me anymore!"

"Admit defeat?"

"You really are a spineless person for someone who acts so tough!"

Chu Tian seemed like he just heard the funniest joke!

The two wrecked the restaurant the day before the grand opening. Not only did they cause great troubles for Miracle Commerce, they also wanted to waste Chu Tian on the spot. Now that they could not beat him, they just want to give up?

Whoosh!

Another finger aura was shot!

The last meridians were crushed!

The sabre armed youth desperately screamed, "NO!"

The sword holding youth could no longer keep calm, "You dare injure my Ninth brother! Die!" A long handled sword swept across and a light blue sword aura roared out!

Chu Tian disdainfully used a single palm to split the sword aura.

"You are also mediocre!"

Both legs leaped gently, like a gust of wind, he flew up.

Not good!

The sword holding youth firmly prepared in midair, he shots out 45 sword auras and formed a sword aura net in an attempt to stop Chu Tian's attack.

"Too weak!"

"Can't even block one attack!"

Chu Tian broke through the net with one palm. The minute he broke through the net, he immediately grabbed the sword holding youth and directly crushed his dantian!

"AH!"

The sword holding youth pitifully cried out and fell down to the earth like a meteor. He hit the ground heavily, his sword fell down at his side.

Chu Tian's eyes flashed a teasing look, "A Body Refinement 7th layer and a peak Body Refinement 7th layer, with such little strength you dare run rampant before me? With such little skill you dare cause trouble for my Miracle Commerce?

The onlookers revealed faces of amazement.

South Sky City summit was only two days ago!

Chu Tian's strength seemed to have grown by a lot!

Two masters at Body Refinement 7th layer attacked together, unexpectedly were easily taken care of. Moreover by the looks of them, both of their cultivations had already been wasted!

Nangong Yun looked startled. This little boy was too abnormal, being able to improve his cultivation again in such a short time, how did he do it? Next time she had a chance, she would make him spill his secrets!

"How is this possible?"

"Are you really Chu Tian?"

The two youths both had panic-stricken faces as they stared at him.

The person in the past that did not even have any cultivation. Chu Tian, that piece of waste, how did he become so strong?

The person in the past who they could destroy at any time, the one who they used to toy with was now toying with them unexpectedly?

There was too big of a contrast!

It was simply unacceptable!

"Third Brother, no, no…. My meridians have all been broken!"

"My spirit energy has also been scattered. Chu Tian, you're really ruthless!"

The two did not think that this would unexpectedly be the result. They were this generation's natural talents, but this minor matter actually turned them both into disabled people, unable to cultivate ever again!

Regret, fear, hate….bubbled in their hearts, Chu Tian was simply a devil!

"Ruthless?" Chu Tian revealed a pondering look, "You wanted to waste me and you don't think that's ruthless? You damaged my Miracle Commerce's property, you should be grateful that I didn't directly kill you!"

"Bold evil spawn!"

From a nearby teahouse came a piercing sound, a teacup flew out of the window, flying straight at Chu Tian with high rotational speed. There was still another expert!

Chu Tian's iron fist shot out, a crisp crack, the teacup was shattered apart!

Chu Tian was forced back a tiny step….Judging from the strength of the attack, he was afraid that the person was in the 8th Body Refinement layer.

Nangong Yun gave a cold snort, "Little hiding rat! Come out for me!"

Chapter 47: Central State Chu Family

A middle aged man in a red brocade robe leapt out of the tea house, slightly short black hair, around his mouth was a beard, on his hands were several jade rings; he was obviously a rich gentleman.

The two youths quickly shouted, "Seventh Uncle, save me!"

The middle aged man looked at them with one eye and coldly said, "You two have lost face for our family. Can't even beat up a bastard, what use do you two have?!"

"Seventh uncle, you…."

The two youths' faces ashened.

What fortuitous chance did this bastard encounter?

How, after a few months, did he become so formidable?

The middle aged man's temperament was very arrogant, but his eyes contained a trace of surprise, as he inspected Chu Tian from head to toe, "Everyone thought you died, but who knew the shame of the family was still living? Moreover your cultivation is not weak!"

These weird fellows, where exactly did they come from?

Chu Tian did not carelessly move, this circumstance was truly strange. If you want to fight, you have to understand what is going on. If you fight without understanding the circumstances, you would not understand who you were even fighting, right?

The middle aged man's face showed mockery and contempt, "You stupid, ignorant girls, why do stand up for someone like him? Do you even know his status, do you know who he is?

Nangong Yun coldly snorted, "Now he is our boss! Compared to you petty people, he is a hundred times stronger!"

The middle aged man retorted, "The Nangong Family is one of the three esteemed families of the kingdom, to actually associate yourself with this bastard, you really disgrace the Nangong Family!"

Nangong Yun angrily rebuked, "If your mouth doesn't know how to talk, this old lady will help rip it off for you!"

It was really strange!

This fellow clearly recognized Chu Tian!

Not only does he recognize Chu Tian.

He also knew about Chu Tian.

Chu Tian definitely does not remember seeing this person before!

Otherwise, with Chu Tian's temper and style, this rude fellow would not be able to casually stand there!

There was only one possibility… He was an acquaintance of the original owner of the body, that is the original youth, Chu Tian's acquaintance.

This could be difficult, because the real Chu Tian disappeared and his memories were all gone. Chu Tian has no idea what happened before.

Who were these people?

Chu Tian motionlessly looked and asked, "What business do you have with me?"

The middle aged man angrily and arrogantly roared, "You are a bastard that should not have been born. The Chu Family blood may flow in you, but you fled the Chu Family, the rebels fled, and ten thousand people died. Moreover. you injured second brother which just adds another sin to your record! You still dare ask this kind of question!?"

Rebels?

What does that mean?

Who exactly was this fellow?

The middle aged man thought he stunned him into silence, coldly smiled and said, "When news came that you were still alive, it caused quite a big stir. The family didn't believe it at first so they sent me to confirm, but I never thought that it would actually be you and you would even encounter a fortuitous chance! Once you fall into our hands, your good luck will run out here!

Meng Qingwu and the others thought in their hearts, 'this fellow was a Chu Family elder?'

Even so, it did not matter if he was an elder!

One minute. calling someone cheap, one minute calling someone a waste, constantly insulting people, was there an elder like this?

Chu Tian looked with compassionate eyes, looking at this idiot with the giant ego, "Since it's like this, are you here to kill me?

The middle aged man showed a condescending face, "Rebelling against the family is unforgivable, even if you're chopped to pieces, it wouldn't be enough. But, I've read that your mother and father have already died, so I'll give you a chance!

Meng Qingwu suddenly thought.

Chu Family, Central State Chu Family. Was Chu Tian a member of the Central State Chu Family?

Central State Chu Family was a respected family, it was in no way inferior to the Ye Family!

Perhaps, Chu Tian was a member of the Central State Chu Family.

Because of certain incidents and being reduced to a slave, the family thought that Chu Tian had died, so they did not pursue him any further. Now that they received news that Chu Tian was still alive and had established his own company, therefore they sent people over to investigate.

With this kind of explanation, it all made sense!

That was also why these people were so dismissive towards Chu Tian!

It could be said that they watched Chu Tian grow up. they understood too well that it affected their judgement. Nobody could predict that in the future that Chu Tian would turn out this way!

Also, the news about Chu Tian still being alive, some people could have purposely leaked it to the Central State and left out some of the details. Their purpose was to provoke the conflict between Chu Tian and the family, to murder with a borrowed knife!

This was likely a plot to sow discord!

Chu Tian lightly smiled and said, "What do you want me to do?

"You established a company that's doing pretty well." The middle aged man showed a greedy expression, "Give me all the shares, waste your own cultivation and return to the family with me to face your punishment. If you do so, I'll help you beg for leniency and let you escape capital punishment for now! This is your only option to live! I hope you properly appreciate it!

Chu Tian broke out in laughter!

"You still dare to laugh! I am your father's seven cousin, I am also a righteous person, you are a bastard that should not have been born. It is for your his sake that I'm offering you this chance yet you don't appreciate it, don't blame the family for being heartless! The Meng family is a small family from South Sky City, in front of the Chu Family, they can't even compare to a single piece of dust!

This fellow seemed to understand Chu Tian very well, that was why he was acting like he had already eaten Chu Tian.

"I'm very sorry." Chu Tian was no longer the old Chu Tian, but he wanted to understand what kind of things had happened to the old owner of this body, so he asked, "There are some things I'm still not clear on, can you tell me how exactly I betrayed the Chu Family?

The middle aged man's whole face was full of doubt.

Did he actually forget everything?

What kind of fortuitous chance did this bastard encounter?

"Fine, I'll help you remember! Your father was a direct line descendant of the Chu Family, high hopes were placed on him, but he actually fell in love with a cheap woman from an enemy family. Despite opposition from the family, he chose to elope with her and gave birth to a bastard like you."

"Ten years ago, your father and that cheap woman were caught by the family. The family head was kind and only killed that cheap woman. He allowed you father and son to live and even allowed you to study."

"Who knew that your father, who can't differentiate between good and bad, would try to flee with you six months ago. Finally he was executed on the spot for betraying the family. You little bastard accidently ran away and managed to live to this day, but since you've been discovered by us, you should obediently accept your fate!"

"The Chu Family regulations are very strict, no one can save you this time!"

Both his parents were dead!

They were insulted for many years!

He escaped alone!

Finally was reduced to being a slave!

These were all the things the past Chu Tian had experienced?

Meng Qingwu and Meng Yingying were shocked, they simply could not believe. Chu Tian's past was unexpectedly so rough?

This usually casual, instinctually optimistic youth.

Actually had such a painful past?

The two sisters sympathized with Chu Tian very much.

At the same time, they felt heartfelt admiration!

"Such dirty things, you actually dare to say out loud?" Nangong Yun was irritated, she could not resist any more, her face turned red, "What a cruel and evil family!"

The middle aged person coldly snorted and said, "The country has its laws, the family has its regulations. The Chu Family's discipline must be strict or else others would spread rumours! Even the country's laws cannot interfere with the family's regulations, Nangong Family definitely cannot interfere with our family matters."

"Is that so?" Nangong Yun's eyes flashed killing intent, "Do I need to care?"

The middle aged man's face revealed a look of dread, "You dare!"

Strange, why would she respond so strongly?

Chu Tian was a bastard of the Chu Family!

Nangong Yun, this kind of character, why would she have relations with this bastard? Her cultivation was very high, perhaps it would be hard to deal with her!

The middle aged man underestimated Chu Tian's strength, but at this moment, he could not back down so easily, "If the Nangong Family interfered with the Chu Family's family matters and it was known by the main city, Nangong Yi might lose his position as the Mayor!"

This bastard dared to threaten her with her father!

However what he said was not wrong, it if was a member of the Ye Family here today, Nangong Yun would have no problem killing him with one palm. But a Chu Family member was a different story, they came in name of their family private matter to address grievances.

The large clans of this era generally had high independency. Other families interfering in clan policies were against the laws of the kingdom!

But so what if it was against the laws?

In any case they could not just let Chu Tian be taken away!

Chu Tian walked over, "Nangong, back down."

"Chu Tian, you….."

"I'll do it myself!"

Chu Tian's jet black eyes quietly flashed.

Also, taking advantage of being reborn, he owed the original owner of the body a favour!

Every bit of karma this original owner had, I, Chu Tian, will bear it all for him.

Chu Tian could feel that, in the depths of his soul, there was a trace of restlessness.

The youth had already vanished into thin air, but still a mark of hatred was left behind.

Revenge for his mother!

Revenge for his father!

Suffering ten years of house arrest!

What kind of humiliation was this!?

But it is all over now. From now on, you just rest!

This enmity, I'll help you repay it. This hatred, I'll help you erase it!

The restlessness gradually subsided.

The middle aged man saw Chu Tian's thick gaze, suddenly felt a chill down his spine, "What are you planning to do?"

"Kill you!"

In a second, smooth as water, he suddenly soared into the sky to kill.

The middle aged man was surprised and quickly tried to resist, however Chu Tian's strength was greater than he imagined. His arm broke from the palm hit which continued and hit his face, the wild strength sent him flying ten or so meters away.

The middle aged man's face showed panic!

How was this possible?

Although Chu Tian had been reborn, he was probably at most in the 7th Body Refinement layer. He was a peak 8th Body Refinement cultivator, how was it possible he could not block Chu Tian's attack?

What was most difficult to be believe was…. Chu Tian actually dared to attack?

This bastard feared the Chu Family, didn't that fear already long seep into his soul?

The middle aged man was flustered, "You dare kill me? You'll be making an enemy out of the Chu Family!"

Chu Tian sent out a palm to attack the forehead, knocking the head halfway into the chest cavity, "The Chu Family owes me and I'll personally get it all back. First I'll kill you to take back some interest."

The youth's soul almost fled their body.

He killed him!

Though Seventh Uncle only managed the branch family, he was still a member of the Chu Family.

This bastard that could not even be considered a part of the genealogy, but he actually dared to kill Seventh Uncle!

"You guys, strip these two fellows and throw them on a busy street for all to see!"

The bodyguards could already see that this fellow was not feeling well, so they quickly stripped their clothes and carried them off on their shoulders like pigs.

Grandmother, what really bad luck!

Encountering this bastard, one's good mood really would be spoiled!

Chu Tian even dared to kill Ye Xiong's son, this fellow could be considered bold. Since offending the Ye Family, he even dared to offend the Chu Family, this was real skill!

Nangong Yun surprisedly looked at Chu Tian, "I never thought you would be a member of the Chu Family."

Chu Tian disdainfully curled his lips, "What Chu Family member? Didn't you hear what that fellow saying that I am a bastard! These kinds of people that can't tell right from wrong, Father, I from now on will waste one when I see one."

Meng Qingwu frowned and said, "This matter is not that simple!"

Meng Yingying asked, "Why?"

"Our Miracle Commerce only established itself these past few days, how did the Central State Chu Family already know about this?"

"Right, there is about a thousand li between South Sky City and Central State main city, to send a message between the two would require several days! Our company was just established, how did they receive the message so quickly?"

Nangong Yun nodded her head, "Only if…. someone intentionally passed the news to Central State!"

"I don't think it's just that." Meng Qingwu's face showed worry, "The Chu Family clearly sent people to search, but they did not know all the circumstances. They didn't even know that you , Nangong, are a stockholder in our company, or else they wouldn't have sent these small characters to verify. In my opinion, somebody deliberately leaked information to the Chu Family, but left out some details. Their goal was to instigate the enmity between Chu Tian and the Chu Family!"

Right!

Today's matters, if Chu Tian could not have handled it, the three fellows would most likely have been blown away by Nangong Yun!

Once these three people have been dealt with, the Chu Family would definitely have been angry. Whether Chu Tian personally handled it, they would definitely not let him get away with it!

Because it was a family's private matter, the Mayor could not interfere that easily otherwise he would cross the bottom line of the other party. This was a clever murdering with a borrowed knife plot!

As for the identity of the mastermind, there was no need to guess since they could already figure it out.

"First, let's not worry about these things!" Chu Tian did not really care, "The most urgent thing right now is the restaurant's grand opening! Let's pretend today's matter did not occur, we shouldn't let it affect us or else it'll be a big blow to our Miracle Commerce's morale!"

They were at the point of no return!

Although this was special circumstance, they could not let it affect tomorrow!

This small Source Energy restaurant was not only a restaurant, but it represented the Miracle Commerce's first official business so it had a big significance. They could not allow any accidents to occur.

Originally they were already nervous.

Then this incident occurred!

They were doomed to get no sleep tonight.

Of course, Chu Tian was the one exception, for what kinds of things had he not seen before?

This did not count for anything!

He went back to his room and fell asleep once he lied down.

Chapter 48: Source Energy Hot Pot City

The next morning, before there was any light.

There was still no light.

Chu Tian was ruthlessly shaken awake.

A cute round oval face appeared in front of his eyes, white and tender, just like cream, almost as water was going to drip out. Following the snow white jade neck down, were two furious white peaks, the waves ran high, the gully was deep, both eyes were flowing, slender delicate eyebrows, a pair of sparkling black eyes were staring at him.

Chu Tian turned around and went back to sleep, he muttered, "Where did this beautiful angel come from? Looks like I'm still dreaming!"

Meng Yingying's small face turned red, there were sweet feelings in her heart. Where did this fellow learn to talk? He was obviously infuriating, but people could not get mad at him.

She rushed like a hungry tiger, grabbing and scratching, "Get up! Get up! Today is the big day! You have to participate!"

Chu Tian was pulled and dragged out.

They rushed over to Yingying's Hot Pot City.

Nangong Yun wore her rarely worn formal dress, her usually scattered hair, was carefully organized. With her delicate facial features and tall figure, she looked like a model of a young miss from a respected family…. Of course, this was provided she did not talk!

Nangong Yun rushed in, burning with impatience, straining her voice she shouted, "Hey! How come you're just coming in! Today is the day of our grand opening! Quickly come and help!"

They rushed to finish up the preparations.

From the east, the big red sun slowly rose.

Eighty staff members, all wearing the same uniform, neatly stood in front of the restaurant.

Meng Qingwu came wearing a beautiful solemn formal dress, tall peach like figure, a light body, a dignified and elegant presence. Black hair like paint, skin like jade, beautiful eyes full of hope, a half frown and smile eluded a kind of unspeakable charm. Just like a budding peony, beautiful, but not demonic, alluring, but not crass, ravishingly beautiful, without equal.

"Congratulations little miss!"

"Congratulations second miss!"

"Congratulations teacher!"

Zhang Liqing and Xiong Tianyan came early to congratulate them.

Because the Miracle Commerce restaurant's grand opening was big news in South Sky City. As the time passed, more and more people came, and not that long, it was so full that not even a drop of water could leak out.

Some second and third class families sent some people to bring gifts.

At this time a luxurious beast carriage slowly drove up. Surrounded by ten or so of the Mayor's palace guards, Nangong Yi came out causing the crowd to gather and cheer.

"Sir Mayor has arrived!"

"Unexpectedly sir Mayor has come too!"

The crowd was shocked, they had never heard of a restaurant opening that could catch the Mayor's attention to come and support them.

The ribbon cutting ceremony could begin.

Meng Qingwu, as the vice president of Miracle Commerce, personally hosted the ceremony, then asked the two head of Miracle Commerce's catering division to come onto the stage. Finally she asked the honoured guests to come onto the stage.

Nangong Yi, Zhang Liqing, Xiong Tianyan, Chu Tian, Meng Qingwu, Meng Yingying, Nangong Yun.

A stir burst from the crowd.

They were all famous people!

At this time, a group of attractive ceremonial girls came out, in each of their hands was a scarlet clothed plate. In each tray were a pair of scissors, the ceremonial girls would put on the red silk cloth and pull it far apart.

"The ribbon cutting ceremony will now start!"

Everyone picked up the scissors together and cut the red silk string.

Suddenly, bells and drums rang out, the crowd burst into joyous celebration, the excitement in the atmosphere was extreme.

Although the ceremony was very troublesome, it was still very necessary. Having celebrities laugh joyously, then take the opportunity to create hype. A small restaurant's grand opening attracted the Mayor and Symbol Technique Guild Master to come participate, it was difficult for it to not become popular!

Meng Yingying and Nangong Yun look at each other and nodded their heads together.

Meng Yingying loudly announced, "Friends, fellow residents, today is Yingying's Hot Pot City's grand opening day and to repay everyone's support and affection, in the next ten days, every time you spend 5 gold coins, you get 1 coin back in rebate, which you can redeem whenever you shop at our main store!"

The crowd loudly cheered!

Chu Tian gawked and then asked Meng Qingwu, "Giving back rebates, did you teach them this?"

Meng Qingwu was bewildered, "No I didn't, what is this giving back rebates?"

"Fuck, doesn't South Sky City have this strategy of giving out rebates?" Chu Tian was frightened by this fact, "This idea, there was no way those two fellows could think of this!"

Meng Yingying continued to announce, "Beyond the preferential rebates, our Yingying's Hot Pot City will also offer membership cards. With membership cards you can enjoy a discount of up to 30% and have many privileges.

Nangong Yun stood up and added, "The Miracle Commerce dining membership card will not only be effective in Yingying's Hot Pot City, but rather can be used in any of Miracle Commerce's restaurants. In celebration of the grand opening, for the next three days, every time you charge 100 gold coins to the card we'll add 10 gold coins, if you charge 200 gold coins we'll add 30 gold coins, if you charge 300 gold coins we'll add 80 gold coins, if you charge 500 gold coins we'll add 100 gold coins… This offer is for a limited time, so we hope everyone takes advantage of it.

Meng Qingwu was frightened.

These two really hid their plans well!

In this era, demon beasts ran rampant, there were scarcely populated areas, so there was not much transportation and information was hard to spread. The business model was very simple, but things like giving rebates and membership card classes had not appeared in South Sky City yet.

They never would have thought that the first time it was implemented, would be done by these two who everyone thought were two good for nothings!

Nangong Yi almost broke into tears.

God bless the Nangong Family!

His daughter had the Fire Phoenix Source spirit and now that she was following these people, her brain had also improved. In the future, who could stop her!

[TL note : Lol this dad is so mean.]

The restaurant had officially begun business.

Countless people swarmed in, the Source Energy dining room's main delicacy was Demon Beast meat, so their main market was cultivators, but South Sky City had around 200,000 cultivators, so their market potential was enormous.

The waiters handed out menus.

Black iron pork - 30 silver coins per serving.

Moonlight yak meat - 40 silver coins per serving.

Double horned antelope meat - 40 silver coins per serving.

Giant hoof deer beast meat - 50 silver coins per serving.

…………

As the guests examined the menus, they were surprised to find that each meat dish generally cost between 20-50 silver coins and for a vegetarian diet, the price generally was not higher than 20 silver coins.

This was not expensive!

Some of the big hotels in South Sky City offered dishes with ordinary ingredients for around the same price, but Yingying's Hot Pot City offered Demon Beast meat. Moreover, it was the only restaurant that did, so everyone thought they would have an outrageous price, but they did not think that it would be so cheap.

When the dishes came, people were disappointed because they thought the portions were too small. One plate of moonlight yak meat was around the same as one fourth of a single steak from Meng Yingying's food stand.

After all, hot pot was not a popular dish in South Sky City, people were used to eating in restaurants, therefore they felt that the hot pot portions were too small.

But thinking about it carefully.

This place catered to cultivators and the price was in an acceptable range.

But this was a Source Energy restaurant that catered specifically to cultivators, so they could not compare it to an ordinary hotel could they? Also there was a membership card system here, so with a membership card they could come over and over and receive a discount.

Naturally, for most people here, they had never eaten with Source Energy cooking so they did not know if it was good or not, the had to taste it to know.

A plate of beef and pork meat was poured into the special Source Energy pot.

Not long passed before a delicious fragrance filled the inside and outside of the restaurant. The entire street could smell this weird fragrance which ordinary food could not compare to.

"This pork meat is too delicious!"

"Right, right, normally the black iron pig meat is hard and old, but if you boil it in the pot for 5 to 6 minutes, it unexpectedly becomes tender and delicious!"

"This is really too delicious! You guys, quickly come try the beef!"

"I have never tasted such delicious Demon Beast meat!"

"This is definitely worth the money spent!"

"We'll go register for a membership card, from now on we'll eat here!"

"Boss, we have a few people that want to register for a membership card!"

"….."

When Meng Qingwu purchased the restaurant, she had set up a special area where people could bring in their own ingredients and they would charge a fix rate for the number of people.

After all, Demon Beasts were not farmed, so the daily flow of meat from the market was not enough to sustain their need. Doing this slightly helped to relieve the problem.

The restaurant was packed full of people, outside the door were several hundred people lining up.

This was the one of a kind Source Energy cooking!

Who did not want to try a taste?

Meng Yingying and Nangong Yun saw their business explode, their mouths turned into crooked smiles. From each dish, they earned a 5 to 10 times profit and if their daily business was this popular, then the restaurant was truly a cash cow!

But this was merely the beginning!

This was merely the start of the Miracle Commerce dining department!

This was merely the start of Miracle Commerce!

Chu Tian, Xiong Bing, Nangong Yi, and Meng Qingwu sat in a private room and they ordered a whole table of garlic chives.

"Interesting, very interesting!"

"This is half eating and half cultivating, truly the best of both worlds, ha, ha!"

Xiong Bing used his spirit energy and saw that the pot was covered in an invisible ability and waves of heat burst out. Taking several thin pieces lamb meat, he placed them in the pot and they turned tender.

Eating the meat, his body felt warm and comfortable, if only he had some good wine, this would be truly enjoyable!

Xiong Bing ate six to seven plates of meat, feeling unsatisfied, he ordered another dozen plates, then turned to Chu Tian to offer his opinion, "I find that in your restaurant, there is only level 1 Demon Beast meat, why don't you offer level 2 Demon Beast meat? For Awakened Soul cultivators like us, level 1 Demon Beast meat does not have much use."

Chu Tian nodded his head and said, "Level 2 meat requires a level 2 cooking array, but also requires an Awakened Soul cultivator to start it, in South Sky City there aren't that many Awakened Soul cultivators so I haven't taken it out yet. But, I could open up a luxurious area that specially caters to Awakened Soul cultivators, but it would require you to have a gold membership card."

Xiong Bing laughed, "You little brat, you unexpectedly even had a solution for my idea!"

The membership cards of Miracle Commerce were divided into black iron, bronze, silver, and gold categories. You needed to charge 50 gold coins to become a black iron member and would enjoy a 5% discount. To become a gold member, you needed to charge 1000 gold coins and would enjoy a 30% discount.

1000 gold coins was not a small number!

In South Sky City, the people that had the ability to become a gold member were people that were a part of a first class company or a first class family.

Xiong Bing grandly said, "Father will just register as a gold member!"

"But talking about this," Xiong Bing's voice lowered, "Who in Miracle dining department doesn't know that Nangong Family and Xiong Family both have shares in Southern Cloud Commerce? Now, even though that the Miracle restaurant is doing so well, Southern Cloud Commerce is still in a dangerous position, this isn't right!"

Chapter 49: Popular Business

Xiong Bing and Nangong Yi both thought about seizing every opportunity. Miracle Commerce was just starting out, they were definitely lacking funds so would this not be the best opportunity to invest?

Who would have thought that the restaurant's popularity would go beyond what people could imagine?

Miracle Commerce dining planned to open two more restaurants, in the future it would definitely become a national chain. Would they be lacking money then? Only fools would accept buying stocks!

Luckily, Xiong Tianyan and Nangong Yi were a part of the company's management, so they were able to grab a piece of this cake!

Meng Qingwu quickly said, "General Xiong Bing, please rest assured, Southern Cloud Commerce is one of our Miracle groups' important sub divisions, from now on it'll definitely not disappoint you."

"That's good then!"

At this time, Nangong Yun fierily burst in and before anyone could say anything, shouted right at her father, "Your precious daughter's business is having its grand opening and you're not embarrassed to just sit here and eat? The least you should be doing is supporting me with practical action, for example you could register 350 gold membership cards!"

Nangong Yun almost spat out blood, "Why would I register that many membership cards? Nonsense!"

Nangong Yun delightedly said, "Miracle Commerce will become a national chain, so your South Sky City membership card can be used in Central State City, even if you went to the Imperial Capital you can still use it! You must know, the membership card will be distributed in limited quantities, so if you can't use them, you can give it to your friends. It's better than giving them gold, silver, or jewelry, don't you think?"

Nangong Yi indignantly said, "Never mind friends, being shaken down by you like this, I'll be too poor to even have friends!"

"Really long winded! Then just register a diamond membership, they're not expensive, only 10,000 gold coins. They get to enjoy a 40% discount. Besides we're holding an event, the more you charge, they more you save, so next time you could get a 60-70% discount, you definitely won't suffer a loss! I only said all this because you're my dad, you take of it yourself then!"

How did this girl's mouth become so slick!

Was it because she had been with Chu Tian for a while that she became like this?

A normal meal at the Source Energy restaurant would cost around a few gold coins and this was just level 1 dishes. In the future there will be a special place just for Soul Awakened cultivators, he was afraid then price would be terrifying, it would be better to register a membership now.

Anyhow he had to eat it anyway.

So why not take advantage of the grand opening promotion and register for one of these diamond membership cards?

Nangong Yun saw her father about to cave, quickly said, "Actually we still have a supreme membership card, it only cost 100,000 gold coins and you can enjoy a 50% discount…."

"Stop, don't say anymore!" Nangong Yi wiped his sweat away and took out a gold card from his chest, "This is 10,000 gold coins, hurry and take it."

Chu Tian gave her a big thumbs up.

Nangong Yun was satisfied and then she turned her gaze onto Xiong Bing, "General Xiong Bing, your General household has built up status in South Sky City and wouldn't lose in financial power to the Mayor's palace, surely you'll register for a supreme membership card. It only costs 100,000 gold coins and it'll immediately highlight your distinguished status!

Xiong Bing broke out in a sweat, "I am already prepared to register for a gold membership card."

Gold membership card? How can you be satisfied with only a gold membership card?" Nangong Yun stared and exaggeratedly shouted, "It really is an insult. You may be able to tolerate, but I definitely can't! Which idiot taught you to do this? I have to beat him up to teach him how to be human!"

Chu Tian trembled in fright.

This fellow wasn't for real right?

Does this crazy girl know how to talk!

Letting Xiong Bing register a gold membership, how did that become an insult?

Seeing only Nangong Yun's calm voice and face, "What kind of person are you? The dignified general of South Sky City! What status does Xiong Family have? The famous general's family, with famous generals emerging one after the other! With this kind of status, only managing to get a gold membership card? To be honest with you, the surnamed Zhang old man and your little brother Xiong Tianyan have both registered for diamond membership cards!"

What?

That scoundrel Xiong Tianyan!

The black sheep of the family!

Nangong Yun's expression was very exaggerated, "Let me tell you, some of the small mercenary groups in the big hall have registered for gold membership cards! Right, some of your vice generals and garrison commanders have also registered for gold membership card. Could it be that a dignified general like you would be reduced to being on the same footing as a mercenary captain? Could it be that a dignified general like you can be compared to the men under your command? If this was spread tomorrow, everyone would think that General Xiong Bing is nothing more than a pauper! Would you still have your prestige, your pride as the general of the South Sky City army! Don't you think so?"

"Nangong young miss, don't say anymore!" Xiong Bing did not know whether to laugh or cry, "I'll register, ok? This is a gold card with 10,000 gold coins, you take it!"

Nangong Yun was pleased with herself as she took the gold card.

Seeing her catch another person, Chu Tian was very satisfied in his heart.

Nangong Yun's forceful personality showed that while military strength was valuable, eloquence was not the slightest bit less valuable. Not bad, not bad, persistence yielded results!

Who would know that Nangong Yun's gaze would also fall on Chu Tian, "Chu Tian, you are our president, you should at least act like it. South Sky City should issue at least one supreme membership card, don't you think so…."

Fuck!

This witch's scam doesn't even let family escape!

Nangong Yi glanced at Chu Tian with pity, "You little brat, you really don't understand my daughter!"

Xiong Bing snickered, secretly criticizing. This brat was just enjoying our pain, now he'll understand her might right? The witch had had her nickname for many years now, it was not for no reason!

Chu Tian shook his head like a rattle drum, "You know I don't have any money, recently I've been supported by the young miss. I'm so poor that I have to get approval even before buying underwear!"

Nangong Yun fiercely said, "Stop pretending to be poor! Just you alone account for 80% of the shares in our Miracle group. We work our bones off and all we get are your leftovers, you still dare pretend you have no money? The supreme membership card is yours, end of discussion, you have no choice!"

This fellow really was too unreasonable!

Clearly selling using force!

Nangong Yun, the little devil, lifted up a sleeve and showed a bare white arm, "What? You dare not give me any face?! Even if you don't have money you can still owe money! You just won't get paid for 2 months!"

Over.

It was all over.

Hunting goose daily, but in the end getting an eye pecked out by a goose!

[TL note : Ya this is an idiom so I did a direct translation, but it basically means irony.]

Chu Tian held his nose and gave in, "You win! I'll just register then!"

Nangong Yun changed faces faster than a book could be flipped and showed a bright faced smile, in a sweet, delicate voice she said, "The president sympathizes with his subordinates, fully supporting us, therefore I'll represent the whole staff to say thank you!"

Finished talking!

She directly gave Chu Tian a big hug!

This girl's temper was very fierce, but her body was not bad, letting Chu Tian experience what was called soft!

But, what was with this weird strength?

Chu Tian felt he was being hugged by a bear!

Nangong Yun just finished taking care of Chu Tian, her phoenix eyes turned and her gaze fell on Meng Qingwu, "Since the president is supporting us, then the vice president….."

Absolutely crazy!

Even Meng Qingwu was not let off!

The word greedy was already not enough to describe her anymore!

Meng Qingwu complexion changed, she did not wait for Nangong Yun to begin talking, she directly surrendered a gold card.

Nangong Yun had a crooked smile, randomly saying a few words earned her three diamond members and a supreme member, this feeling was too satisfying!

"You guys eat slowly, I'll go next door!"

Nangong Yun quickly left the room and ran next door. There was no need to guess to know what the fellow next door would be bleeding a lot of money.

For the whole day, the restaurant's several tables were packed full. The crowd waiting outside did not reduce, but rather kept on growing.

Meng Yingying and Nangong Yun thought of an idea together. To protect the rights of membership holders, in the future members will have the reserve seats.

This way, there would be more people registering as members.

A countless amount of gold cards, cash and the likes crashed into the vaults of Miracle Commerce.

Evening.

The detailed account statement was calculated.

Meng Yingying jumped three feet in excitement, she pulled Chu Tian in and shouted, "Do you know just how much we earned in a single day?!"

"How much?"

"280,000 gold coins!"

Meng Yingying was so excited she could not speak, when her elder sister was in charge of Southern Cloud Commerce, a whole year's revenue could not compare to this. In a single day, a small hot pot restaurant earned this much money!

Chu Tian was also surprised, "How could there be this much, that's not possible!"

Meng Qingwu smiled and said, "Did you add the membership card revenue into the calculations?"

Meng Yingying scratched her head and laughed, then she counted with her fingers, "We sold a supreme membership, 8 diamond memberships, 35 gold memberships, and countless silver and black iron memberships. If you don't count the revenue from that, the money earned is still tens of thousands of gold coins."

That was more like it!

The membership cards were money deposited by customers.

However once they charged money it couldn't be returned. Out of Yingying's Hot Pot City's dishes, the lowest profit was still over 500%, the highest was over ten times, even if they take out several tens of thousands of gold coins, it would be alright to take out 180,000 gold coins without any problems!

Gigantic profits!

Absolutely gigantic profits!

Earned so easily that they almost spit in disgust!

Today's grand opening already earned them several tens of thousands of gold coins, moreover it was estimated they would still be popular for a long period of time.

Chu Tian began to say, "After being poor for so long, we can finally see the dawn of being rich!"

A single Source Energy restaurant had no way to satisfy the market, South Sky City had a gigantic cultivator population of around 200,000, not accounting for the normal residents, nobles and merchants. If they could break ground, just a South Sky City was already amazing!

People once thought that talismans and pharmaceutics made the most money and that catering services was the bottom of the barrel, but now it seemed that from the speed Miracle dining made its money, it was not the least bit inferior to talisman crafting, maybe even better.

Miracle Commerce could not find a single rival in South Sky City!

But was it just fighting over gold? Actually, using kilograms to calculate would not be exaggerated!

[TL note : This is a joke, but it only makes sense in chinese since 金(jin) gold rhymes with 斤(jin) gram.]

Miracle dining had finished a day of business, although it was very successful, it also exposed some of their shortcomings. Meng Qingwu transferred 100 people from Southern Cloud Commerce over to be waiters.

Nangong Yun was afraid that the dining room operation would have problems, so she went to her dad and persistently bothered him. In the end he gave her 200 guards from the Mayor's palace to secure the restaurant.

The second day.

The restaurant was popular with the entire city, from aristocrats to lower class citizens, there was nobody who did not know about it. People considered it an honor to have a membership at the restaurant, it became a symbol of strength and power!

"Popular!"

"Popular!"

"Have you seen the newspaper!"

"They are all talking about us!"

Meng Yingying's small face was completely red while holding a stack of newspapers as she ran in. She handed them to Chu Tian like they were treasures, then she collected herself and read them together with Chu Tian.

A delicate face was but a few centimeters away.

Chu Tian felt the urge to give it a kiss.

But, considering this violent little girl, she would possibly walk away so he decided against it.

《The Daily South Sky City》headline - "Yingying's Hot Pot City creates a business miracle, revenue earned in a day exceeds 280,000 gold coins shocks the city!"

《People Weekly》headline - "From wealthy family good for nothings to super rich powerful people, enters the two beautiful female presidents of Miracle Commerce."

《Mercenary Times》headline - "The best and hottest mercenary restaurant available! Triggers fiery praise from the entire city's mercenary community!

《Symbol Array Monthly》headline - "Epoch-making invention - Source Energy cooking array!"

…………

This era did not have new media forms, but the paper had been invented for a long time, so paper was the medium for media. Newspapers and weeklies were the most popular forms of media.

Today, all the popular newspapers were all captured by the Miracle Commerce restaurant!

All of these reported that Miracle Commerce was not the slightest bit overrated!

Chu Tian and Meng Yingying just finished reading the newspapers.

At this time, Xiong Tianyan brought several people carrying boxes in, "President, here is the meteor grass you wanted!"

Fantastic!

This really could be described as double happiness!

Miracle Commerce's restaurant had won its first battle and the medicinal herbs Chu Tian wanted had arrived.

Xiong Tianyan said with a weird look, "This batch of meteor grass cost 140,000 gold coins and the stock of meteor grass in South Sky City is about to run out. The retail price on one unit of meteor grass has risen to 20 gold coins."

Chu Tian did not care about this, "Go talk to the supplier, from now on Miracle Commerce will go on a large scale acquisition of meteor grass. I want 10,000 every week, the price we can discuss."

Xiong Tianyan was frightened, "That many?"

"That's right, only more not less!" now that Miracle Commerce was starting to make money, Chu Tian was full of energy.

Meng Yingying was confused, "What are you buying all this meteor grass for?

Chu Tian mystically said, "I'm about to close up for 1-2 days, when I come out I'll tell you."

Meng Yingying discontentedly said, "Keeping people guessing again!"

[TL note : Like I do with each release with all them sweet cliffhangers!]

"First go tell young miss to go to spirit cave spring to bathe, then give her this Qi Training pill. The precious medicine that I give you, don't leave any and eat all of it, then try to break through to the 7th Body Refinement layer."

Chu Tian waved and said, "Carry the medicinal herbs down, I'll be using them immediately!"

Chapter 50: Starlight Immortal Body

Meteor grass was actually what Chu Tian knew as meteorite grass.

When this herb was discovered, it was used to treat bone meridian injuries. The effects were not bad, but there were other substitutes and since the effects of the meteor grass were only so so, not many people paid that much attention to it.

The true value of meteorite grass, was not for it to be used for therapy.

Meteorite grass was not simple, it contained the strength of the stars!

Therefore it could restore meridians, remould the bones, and refine the spirit's efficacy. This was the low-leveled cultivator's panacea.

Nangong Yun could in fact break through to the Awakened Soul realm, but she suppressed her cultivation to stay in the Body Refinement realm on purpose.

Why did she do this?

Was it not to help build her foundation?

The foundation built in the Body Refinement layer was the most important!

30,000 years later, the value of a single piece of meteorite grass was more than ten thousand times the current price.

But, because the energy in a single piece of grass was too weak, it could not exhibit the effects, so the current era's people did not discover its foundation building effects. Only if one spared no expense to acquire the one time use meteorite grass in large quantities and had the special technique could they use the power of the stars to refine their body.

Chu Tian was truly lucky!

This era's meteorite grass was dirt cheap!

1,000 herbs, through refinement and purification processes, turned into a large pot of blue tear coloured solution.

Chu Tian then added several body strengthening supporting materials right into the giant crystal barrel.

The crystal barrel was just large enough to fit a single person. Along the crystal barrel, there were several runes carved. They looked just like the stars in the sky, giving off a mysterious aura, this was the "Level 1 Star Body Tempering Array" from the future!"

The large crystal barrel was just like a large refining bottle!

Letting the human body be one of the materials in the refining!

Taking the power of the stars to refine the body and soul!

The human body was regarded as one of the refining materials, to be thrown in with the other materials into the array as part of the refining process!

Such creative ideas, such a fearless procedure, if it was spread to the outside, it would definitely cause a huge commotion!

Let's start!

Chu Tian, naked body inside, gathered spirit energy and clapped his hands.

The rune array design on the barrel was completely activated by the spirit energy, suddenly a dazzling light shined out.

The solution began to boil, bubbles continued to rise out, patches of blue light seeped out. The power of the stars struggled to escape as Chu Tian absorbed it into his pores to refine his body.

Satisfying!

A pure, incomparable ancient energy penetrated every corner of his body, nourishing every drop of blood and refining his bone marrow. Bits and pieces of star power gathered in his meridians forming a stream, cleansing out the impurities of his body and expanding his meridians.

Moreover the power of the stars directly seeped into his soul.

His soul obtained a warm energy and his Spiritual Sense naturally expanded!

From Chu Tian's brain emerged an ancient cultivation technique - 《Starlight Immortal Body》!

This was a very strong defense type cultivation technique, but the difficulty was too high because in the process of practicing, one must absorb the power of the stars. If they could not obtain it from external sources, then they could only practice on starry nights which made the progress extremely slow. Even in 5-8 years they may not even cross the threshold.

Starlight tempering the body while practicing could speed up the cultivation technique!

Since Chu Tian came to this era, he had not practiced any cultivation techniques. 《Heaven Soaring Fist》 and 《Diamond Artery Cutting Finger》 were both first class and could be considered a good foundational martial art. It would be fine for hitting a couple of cultivators, but difficult for formal occasions.

This 《Starlight Immortal Body》was a precious cultivation technique in the future!

Practiced to the peak, the starlight would protect the body, ten thousand evils could not invade, swallowing the power of the heavens and stars to quickly restore spirit energy and injuries. If this cultivation technique was achieved, he would have the power to sweep away most cultivators of the same level and even have the qualification to challenge levels beyond him!

Most high level and special cultivation techniques required a lot of resources.

The《Starlight Immortal Body》was the same. On the mainland, where could one find a treasured material with the power of the stars, remould the body and cleanse the bone marrow? Wouldn't the price be expensive?

Under the current setting, it would definitely burn a lot of money!

That was why the《Starlight Immortal Body》was almost lost in the future!

Despite studying it, Chu Tian had never thought that there would be a day when he could practice it.

A quarter of the hour later, the blue tear coloured liquid gradually turned clear. Chu Tian's body was covered in a light blue starlight, like a piece of crystal emitting pure blue light!

Not bad, not bad!

He got his money's worth from the 1,000 pieces meteorite grass!

Chu Tian had broken through to the 8th Body Refinement layer!

The first time refining with starlight, the effects were quite evident, but in the future the effects would gradually diminish.

But, the biggest advantage of starlight refining cultivation lay in improving the physique and enhancing the heritage.

If under the effects of refining for a long time, not only would the Starlight Immortal Body become stronger, it would also improve one's physique. In a same level circumstance, one's spirit energy would be greater than the average person.

Crash!

The waves turned over!

Chu Tian put on some clothes, went over to a mirror to see his reflection and he saw the jade like skin which would cause women to go crazy with envy. Chu Tian clenched his fist, faint starlight shone out. This was the power of the Starlight Immortal Body!

Naturally, it was impossible to master a cultivation technique in one sitting!

The cultivation techniques of the continent was divided into 4 stages, Small Success, Obscure, Large Success, and Perfection. The deeper the practice, the stronger the effects were.

The《Starlight Immortal Body》had a clear division for each of the four stages. The Glass Body, Diamond Body, Sacred Light Body, and Immortal Body. With Chu Tian's little insight he was still far from achieving the Small Success Glass Body!

But nonetheless.

Chu Tian's various defensive capabilities had increased considerably!

It was not the more the better for cultivation techniques. If one wanted to practice a cultivation technique, there were two major prerequisites. One, the cultivation technique was compatible to their source spirit. Two, one's own body must not reject the cultivation technique.

Nangong Yun had the Fire Phoenix Source Spirit and practiced the《Burning the Heavens Art》 fire cultivation technique passed down through her family, which happened to complement her source spirit. Otherwise if she practiced an ice cultivation technique, even if the cultivation technique was stronger than her《Burning the Heavens Art》, she would have no way to show its true might.

Among cultivation techniques, rejection was normal, even for complementary cultivation techniques, it would still be possible.

It also wasn't the more cultivation techniques you practiced, the more refined it would be. Cultivators who practiced a single cultivation technique their whole life were not the minority.

Usually before a person determined the properties of their source spirits, they would not blindly practice a cultivation technique.

Chu Tian chose the 《Starlight Immortal Body》as his first cultivation technique not just because of its defensive capabilities and other abilities.

In fact, the greatest advantage of the 《Starlight Immortal Body》was its "nurturing" effects and not its fighting capabilities!

This was an outstanding body nurturing cultivation technique, not only did it not produce any side effects, instead it helped remould the body's meridians, strengthen the physique, and enhanced talent. Although the defensive capabilities and other abilities were very strong, its nature was very mild so there was no rejection!

In other words.

Regardless of what source spirit awakened.

Regardless of whether one practiced other cultivation techniques.

This《Starlight Immortal Body》would not exhibit any rejection.

It laid a powerful foundation for future cultivation without leaving any worries. This bringing only benefits and having no harm cultivation technique was truly an outstanding foundation building technique!

Many years had passed since anyone could practice this Starlight Immortal Body to the large success stage!

It had almost disappeared from the continent!

Chu Tian had the luck to accidentally see it and it was because of his photographic memory that he could remember it. He highly anticipated that through the present continent's help, he could achieve the large success stage and achieve the Sacred Light Body, maybe even achieve the Immortal Body!

At the same time, Chu Tian recognized a problem.

This《Starlight Immortal Body》had almost disappeared, it was far from an outstanding technique, even with the cultivation resources of the future, it was hard to support this technique.

Throughout history, how many cultivation techniques like this《Starlight Immortal Body》almost disappeared this way? In this time period, perhaps he could find even stronger ancient cultivation techniques!

[TL note - Ya I know these two sentences are confusing, but basically he's saying how the future regarded this technique as trash, but in this time period it isn't since he can find resources to practice it.]

Meng Qingwu and Meng Yingying came back.

Meng Qingwu had already soaked in the spirit cave spring and had taken the Qi Training pill to break through to the 7th Body Refinement layer. It was time for Chu Tian to fulfill his promise.

Meng Yingying was pleasantly surprised and asked hopefully, "Chu Tian, can you really treat my sister's chronic injury?"

Chu Tian showed a faint smile, "As long as she follows my prescription, there will not be any problems!"

Following prescription?

Why would she not follow it?

This deficiency that has she had since her birth had tortured her for 20 years now!

Meng Qingwu had tried eating different medicines and tried out different cures, but nothing had worked. Being in pain was the only thing that Meng Qingwu knew!

Chu Tian told Meng Yingying, "Prepare a set of acupuncture needles!"

"Okay!"

The little girl was diligent, she quickly turned her perfectly round bottom to go prepare the needles.

With a serious face, Chu Tian told Meng Qingwu, "Now, I'll pass on a cultivation technique to you, be sure to remember it because it will be forever useful to you."

It was not just another cultivation technique.

It was the《Starlight Immortal Body》!

When Meng Qingwu heard the entire chant, her face immediately revealed shock!

The profoundness of this cultivation technique exceeded any of the kingdom's inherited techniques. With it, one could start their own sect!

Meng Qingwu originally thought that Chu Tian would casually teach her a cultivation technique, but she did not think that he would give her such an amazing technique!

"The acupuncture needles are here!"

Meng Yingying ran over with a fine small box.

Chu Tian had already used 1,000 pieces of meteorite grass to create a solution that filled the crystal barrel. The blue tear coloured liquid emitted a delicate fragrance. Now, he could start treating her.

Meng Yingying curiously looked at the solution, "This is the medicine for treating my sister? Why is there so much?"

"Don't ask so much for now, let's begin, in a bit I'll start inserting the flying needles."

Meng Yingying quickly said, "Then I'll leave first."

"You can't leave, first help me find a piece of black cloth."

"Ah? Why do you need black cloth?"

Chu Tian said seriously, "I need to cover my eyes!"

Meng Yingying's stared at him with her eyes wide open, "While I, Meng Yingying, am not very smart, you shouldn't try to trick me like this, blindfolding yourself while performing acupuncture? Never mind inserting flying needles, is this curing someone or killing them? I only have one sister and if you hurt her, I'll make you pay!"

Seeing her sister like this, Meng Qingwu's face turned into a warm smile, "Yingying, don't get too excited. Chu Tian, just directly insert the needles, there's no need to be troublesome."

"That's won't do, I'm very serious. I have to use the flying needles, but I also need to blindfold my eyes."

"Pissing me off!" Meng Yingying said panting in indignation, "Why do you need to blindfold yourself when you insert the flying needles? What do we do if you hurt my sister! No way, I don't agree to this!"

"Fuck, you don't understand anything, little girl!" Chu Tian hit Meng Yingying's head.

Meng Yingying held her held and protested, "Hu, why did you hit me?"

Chu Tian stared and reproved her, "To pierce the pressure point, there must be skin contact, that is to say, you sister needs to be completely naked. If I don't use flying needles, wouldn't she be touched all over by me? If I don't blindfold myself, wouldn't her body be seen by me?"

Both of them were shocked.

Chu Tian continued to spit out in indignation, "What if you two sisters threaten me in the future and force me to marry her? Want to harm me? Bah! I will not be tricked by you!"

Two beautiful faces immediately turned red.

This bastard was infuriating, he simply did not know how to choose his words!

Meng Qingwu bashfully blushed, hesitantly she said, "Do I really have to strip?"

Chu Tian nodded, "You have to strip!"

Meng Qingwu's beautiful eyes discolored, "Can you really use the flying needles blindfolded?"

Chu Tian was a little unhappy, "You don't believe me?"

"No, don't be angry, I definitely believe in you, but….." Meng Qingwu was so embarrassed she could not talk, she almost buried her face in her tall chest and shouted in a soft voice, "I really do….I….."

Chu Tian snorted, "Then be quick about it and completely strip, I'm rushed for time!"

Meng Qingwu felt somewhat indignant!

She was a very traditional girl.

Letting her strip naked in front of a grown man, she would rather be sliced to death by a blade!

For a pure woman like her, this was a very difficult decision, but for this fellow, it was as simple as drinking water.

Could the flying needles pierce through clothes?

Who knows if he was intentionally tricking me!

Meng Qingwu's heart was full of reluctance, but after a few seconds of hesitation, she steeled her heart, "Fine, I'll just strip then."

Meng Yingying was alarmed, "Sister, you really want to be taken advantage of by this bastard?"

"Nonsense, who wants to be taken advantage of by him!" Meng Qingwu stared at her sister, her shy eyes full of rebuke, "Quickly go and find a piece of black cloth, blindfold his eyes tightly for me."

Meng Yingying went to find a piece of black cloth.

"Sit."

Meng Yingying was standing behind him, fiercely wrapped in layers upon layers, but because the distance was close, the aura this little girl exuded could be felt clearly. Moreover, her movements were wide, her tall and straight twin peaks would occasionally rub against Chu Tian letting him experience what could be called soft.

Meng Yingying had this scale.

For Meng Qingwu, you did not even need to mention it.

It was a pity he could not see it!

"Tie it tightly!" Chu Tian sat in a respectable gentlemanly manner, "If your sister forces me to marry her, you have to testify for me. I didn't see anything and I didn't feel anything."

Meng Qingwu almost fainted in anger.

Marrying you seemed like it was your loss?

You bold faced shameless person, even if you wanted to marry me I still wouldn't!

Meng Yingying ground her teeth in anger. Fiercely wrapping the cloth with both hand, wishing for his head to break and finally tying a dead knot!

Chapter 51: Curing the Chronic Injury

Chu Tian innocently said, "Start stripping!"

Meng Yingying looked at her sister, "Big sis don't worry, I'll keep my eyes on him!"

Meng Qingwu tightly pursed her red lips, her beautiful appearance that could overthrow cities and ruin nations was blushing red. A pair of bright eyes, just like a deep spring water, that could make a person's bones go soft.

Ai!

I'll just strip!

Chu Tian kindly helped to cure her disease and his eyes were already covered. Being this insincere was a bit excessive.

Meng Qingwu shivered as she untied her clothes, the fine white cloth gently fell to the ground.

A pair of slender, white, jade like legs. A plentiful, perfectly round bottom, a slender willow like waist, cannot bear to hold. It made all other women feel inferior, proudly towering in the sky.

A head of long black hair fell down, like a cascading waterfall.

Just like nine beautiful goddesses, her beauty could not be compared.

Meng Yingying fell into a daze.

Very white! Very beautiful!

Sister's body figure really made people jealous!

Meng Qingwu stood naked, her whole body was uncomfortable. Jade like skin, eyes like water, compared to usual she was less serious and dignified, but much more gentle and charming. Like a budding peony, beautiful, but not devilish, alluring, but not obscene, simply unparalleled.

Meng Yingying shouted, "Hey! Sister has already stripped! Why haven't you started?"

Once Meng Qingwu heard these words, her cheeks turned red like a peach and silently spat a bit.

Unexpectedly, Chu Tian said one sentence, "I understand."

Meng Qingwu was startled and used both hands to cover her chest, "How do you know? You can see!"

Chu Tian suppressed his smile, "Idiot, my eyes may be covered, but my ears are still working, I may not be able to see, but can't I still hear."

It was like this.

Chu Tian slowly stop up, "Prepare yourself, I'm about to start!"

Meng Qingwu stubbornly covered her chest, but it was a pity that they were too big so there was no way to completely cover them. Her face was flustered, not only because she was embarrassed about being naked, but also because she was afraid of the flying needles.

From her youth up to now, how could she bare facing a grown man naked?

Also, could this chronic injury really be cured?

Her heart was uneasy, it was beating like a drum.

Chu Tian took a deep breath!

Mind's Eye - Open!

In an instant, Chu Tian could see all of Meng Qingwu's meridian points.

Chu Tian knit his brows, "Young miss, your arms are blocking the way, how can I insert the needles, quickly move them away!"

"Oh….." Meng Qingwu moved her hand halfway, suddenly she moved them back in front of her, her eyes teared up, in an almost weeping voice she said, "You-you-you….. You can still see!"

Meng Yingying jumped up in anger, like an angry cub, "Good little bastard, dare to bully my sister! I'll fight with you!"

"Wait, don't be agitated!" Chu Tian accidentally lit two small barrels of gunpowder and he quickly tried to explain explained, "I can't see with my body's eyes there's no doubt about that, what I'm using is my Mind's Eye don't you understand?

Both girls stared blankly.

Chu Tian also said, "Simply speaking, what I see is nothing more than a mass of flesh, blood, bones, spirit energy, and soul. My Mind's Eye will not last long so if you don't cooperate, I can't cure you today."

Meng Qingwu bit her lips and slowly moved her hands anyway.

"That's the right thing to do!"

"Listen to my instructions, stand straight!"

"Close your legs and keep you chest high."

"Right, just like this, raise your butt!"

Meng Qingwu was so angry the roots of her teeth hurt, "Are you done yet?!"

"Ok, ok, stay still, don't randomly move!"

"Yingying give me the needle!"

Meng Yingying did not dare to ignore him and opened the little box, presented the needle with both hands. Her small face was tense and nervous because this was the most crucial moment.

Acupuncture with flying needles was a legendary skill, just by itself it was difficult enough, but Chu Tian was also blindfolded so could he really do it?

You could not even joke about this!

A little soft, a little hard, a little off….. All of these would cause problems to occur.

Acupuncture was very complex, how much hand control would you need to do it properly with flying needles?!

Remove the needle!

Insert into pressure point!

Meng Yingying was staring but still could not see it clearly, Chu Tian had already started.

A silver light flashed, a thin long needle stabbed into her chest about a few centimeters deep. Covering the needle was a layer of spirit energy that was continuously trembling.

Meng Qingwu softly let out a sound.

A slightly numb sensation, a little itchy but not painful, like being shocked.

Chu Tian realized his Spiritual Sense was very weak, he could not keep up Mind's Eye for long so he sped up his pace.

Several needles were inserted continuously.

She felt a numb sensation one after the other, in her thighs and other sensitive areas.

"Uh!"

Meng Qingwu could not help but make a humming sound. Her physique, by nature, was sensitive. With continuous stimulus, it was difficult for her body to suppress her reactions. She quickly closed her legs and her face became redder.

Meng Yingying clenched her fist and very anxiously said to Chu Tian, "Hey! Look at my sister, her breathe is short, her face is red and her legs are clenched. She won't have any problems right?"

This silly girl!

Really brought shame to herself!

Meng Qingwu quickly said, "I….I'm alright!"

Chu Tian suddenly called out, "Turn around!"

Meng Qingwu quickly turned around, several needles were sticking out of her body. Her arms, shoulders, back, buttocks, and thigh were all filled with silver glowing spirit energy covered needles.

Very terrifying!

So many needles sticking out of her body!

Meng Yingying trembled while holding her arms!

"Done!"

Chu Tian was exhausted, he was simply unable to use Mind's Eye anymore. This short period of time was his limit.

"Don't move first!"

"After a minute, the spirit energy enter your meridians through the needles, then we can pull out the needles. Afterwards you have to sit in the barrel and begin the next part of the treatment."

A minute passed and the needles stopped glowing.

This meant that the spirit energy had entered her meridians.

Meng Yingying hurried to help remove the needles and then Meng Qingwu sat down in the crystal barrel. The blue tear coloured solution soaked her body and a refreshing cool sensation enveloped her body.

Chu Tian slowly walked over.

Meng Qingwu's hands covered her chest, her eyes were flustered and her instincts told her to stand, "What are you doing?"

"Don't randomly move!"

"Ah!"

A pair of warm, powerful hands held her shoulders and pushed her back into the crystal barrel.

Meng Qingwu's face was so red she almost started sweating, being so close to Chu Tian, seeing his handsome face, full of seriousness, an aura of manliness of be felt and it made her distracted.

Little miss' skin was really smooth!

It was just like silk!

Chu Tian reluctantly removed his hand and said seriously, "I am going to start the source energy array and you need to start practicing the cultivation technique using the chant I taught you. Don't be distracted during the process. Using the flying needles just now, I cleared your meridians and helped guide the star power in to help cure your deficiency."

Meng Qingwu said in a soft voice, "I know!"

Chu Tian patted the crystal barrel with his palm, the source energy array started to glow and the solution instantly started boiling. Countless bright lights were released and started to gather in Meng Qingwu's body.

Meng Yingying was dazed.

This was just too mysterious!

This method of practice was just too strange!

Putting people in a barrel and using a source energy array to refine them!

Chu Tian's face was exhausted, "Yingying, let's leave first and let the young miss practice alone, we shouldn't bother her."

The two people left the room.

Meng Qingwu let out a sigh of relief, her heart was beating fast and it took a long time to calm down.

This bad fellow!

He only knows how to bully me!

Meng Qingwu showed a bitter expression, she seemed like a small shy girl, completely the opposite of the strong woman she normally was.

Meng Yingying helped guide Chu Tian to the courtyard and personally helped him remove the blindfold. A pair of big sparkling eyes stared at Chu Tian for a few seconds, "Hey, are you alright?"

"Don't you think, if you say it like this….Aiyo!" Chu Tian blinked and shamelessly said, "I suddenly feel a little dizzy, help support me for a bit!"

"Get lost!" Meng Yingying dodged to the side and gently kicked his feet, without giving him any face she said, "Look at your red face, it doesn't even look like you're about to faint! How do you feel? Are you happy? Other guys don't even have the chance to hold sister's hand and you had my sister strip naked in front of you!"

"How can that be? Do I seem like that kind of person?!" Chu Tian looked at her with a face of doubt, "You wouldn't be jealous right?"

"Jealous? Impossible!" Meng Yingying's face was flustered and quickly explained loudly, "Don't speak nonsense, what do I have to be jealous about? I….I don't like you! How could I be jealous? Moreover, sister wouldn't like a fellow like you!"

"Are you sure little miss won't like me?"

Meng Yingying confidently said, "I understand my sister, she would only like a genuine wise hero!"

Chu Tian shamelessly said, "Isn't this the image I've been portraying my whole life?"

"Bah!" Meng Yingying looked at him with disdain, "You shameless playboy, only ghosts would like you!"

After finishing her sentence.

A look of worry flashed in the little girl's eyes.

If her heart really felt this, only she would know.

"What you said isn't true! It's simply slander against my pure personality!"

Chu Tian wondered.

Shameless, I'll acknowledge.

How did I become a playboy?

Since I came to this time period, I've spent most of my time with you, I've never had time to hook up with other women!

While appreciating the little miss' beauty.

He never did anything out of the ordinary!

An hour later, Meng Qingwu put on her long white gown and walked out of the room.

Meng Qingwu's change was truly big, her wet hair over her shoulders, her jade like skin, smooth and white like ivory. Compared to her beauty before, her body was now covered in star light, truly like an immortal fairy.

Meng Yingying immediately stopped bickering with Chu Tian, "Sister, how do you feel?"

"Yingying, I'm very happy, everything is fine now!" Meng Qingwu excitedly hugged her sister, "I've achieved a very fierce cultivation technique, from now I can fight with others normally! I won't be plagued with the deficiency anymore!"

Chu Tian came over, laughing while saying, "Congratulations to young miss on curing your injury and achieving this marvelous ability!"

Meng Qingwu could not help blushing when she saw him, she did not dare look at him directly and quietly thanked him, "I was lucky to have your help or else let alone practicing martial arts, this injury would have plagued me my whole life. I finally understand the true value of meteor grass!"

One time practice session for a single person used 1,000 pieces of meteor grass, that meant that 100,000 gold coins was need each month!

This was only for a single person, if two, three, or more people practiced the《Starlight Immortal Body》, that would consume an incredible amount of money, just like a bottomless pit!

Also when one achieved the Glass Body, Diamond Body, and Sacred Light Body stage, the consumption rate would exponentially increase!

Meng Qingwu already thought that the company had made enough money, but now it seemed that it was far from enough, the was merely the start of the road!

Meng Qingwu never placed importance on money.

She only felt that managing the company was a type of responsibility.

Or as a way to show her self worth.

But now that all changed!

Money equaled resources and resources equaled strength!

A person with godly talent but lacking in resources would not accomplish anything. On the other hand, a person with mediocre resources, if they made the effort to obtain heavenly treasures, would definitely become a top player!

Meng Qingwu deeply felt the importance of strength.

Towards managing the company and earning a lot of money, she felt an unprecedented enthusiasm!

Chu Tian said, "You two, Nangong, Old Xiong, and old man Zhang, as core members have the qualifications to practice the《Starlight Immortal Body》, although there aren't that many people, the consumption of meteor grass every month will still be huge. We must gain as much money as soon as possible, it would be best if we could purchase the whole meteor grass basin.

When Chu Tian once said this sentence.

Meng Qingwu thought he was joking.

Now it seemed, perhaps it was necessary, to buy the whole meteor grass basin.

But, this kind of astronomical figure, how could Miracle Commerce pay for it?

Chu Tian was very straightforward, he immediately taught the Starlight Immortal Body to Nangong Yun, Xiong Tianyan, and Zhang Liqing so that they could start practicing in secret.

Offering a cultivation technique free of charge.

Not taking any extra charges.

For them to practice the technique, all the needed was to buy the meteor grass needed.

Because of how casually Chu Tian regarded the《Starlight Immortal Body》they thought that it was a intermediate level technique, but to their surprise it was a top level foundation building technique.

Building foundations for one's own team was very necessary.

Chu Tian, with his free and easy going nature, was far from someone who valued one's own broomstick. He especially did not like to be calculating!

Xiong Tianyan and Zhang Liqing were both old, so their progress was slow, but Meng Yingying and Nangong Yun both reached the bottleneck with one practice session.

This Starlight Immortal Body was far beyond Nangong Family's inherited《Burning the Heavens Art》!

The fact that Chu Tian could take out this miraculous technique out to share!

People truly admired his courage and generosity!

Several people had their hearts set on following Chu Tian.

While everyone was busy practicing, Chu Tian was quietly carried out his secret plan somewhere in the city.

Chapter 52: Openly Conspiring to Steal

South Sky City's north side.

There was an extremely luxurious mansion.

Several teams of mercenaries were moving back and forth on patrol, on each of their right sides was a personal beast. Five hundred plump and sturdy battle wolves ready to be mounted to form a wolf cavalry army. A large beast parking yard was to the left, with hundreds of beast carriages parked.

This was the Ye Family's South Sky City branch headquarters!

These several streets were under the Ye Family's control, it was difficult for even Mayor to interfere in, the power and influence they held was hard to imagine.

An impressive beast carriage was slowly driving down the spacious street.

The Demon Beast pulling the cart was a blue marked deer beast that had a healthy build, a fine appearance, a graceful stance, and exuded a strong presence. The people that could afford to have this Demon Beast pull their cart were definitely not ordinary people.

The blue marked deer carriage stopped in front of the Ye residence.

A 40-50 year old person walked out.

Several gate guards, upon seeing this person, came over and bent down to salute him, "We pay our respects to sir Luo Yuanshan!"

The stature of the man was short and stout, his head was somewhat balding, but with his hooked nose and hawk like gaze, he exuded a deep aura that gave off a sense of oppression.

The mercenaries guided the beast cart to the parking yard and simultaneously said, "We ask sir Luo to enter the house, the head of the household has been waiting for you."

In the Ye residence living room sat three people.

One was Ye Xiong, one was Du Zhentian, and the last was a young heroic looking youth of around 30 years old.

"Sir Luo, you finally came, come sit!" Ye Xiong's eyes flashed a happy look, "Let me introduce you first, this is South Sky City Du Family's head of the household, Du Zhentian and this is Central State Chu Family's third elder's son, Chu Yi!"

"It was Young Master Chu Yi!" Luo Yuanshan gave the youth two extra looks, "Young Master Chu is so young, but your cultivation is already so deep; for the Chu Family to have such a young generation, it really is enviable."

30 years old and at the peak Body Refinement 9th layer.

Naturally he was one of the seedlings the family focused on.

Chu Yi's eyes flashed a proud look, but humbly said, "Sir Luo is overestimating me, actually in the Chu Family I could not even be considered in the top ten. Moreover under the light of Chu Family's number one genius Chu Xinghe, how could I dare to claim to be a genius from the Chu Family?"

"Chu Xinghe? The son of the head of household of the Chu Family, Chu Jiangshan. At the age of 16 he awakened his source spirit becoming the earliest person in Central State to step into the Awakened Soul Realm. Now that he's 22, it has been years since he showed his strength so no one knows just how strong he really is, and shares the honor of being called the Four Masters with Central States three other super talents!"

Chu Yi was considered a genius.

But if he was compared to Chu Xinghe, the two could not even be compared.

Not only did Chu Xinghe have a top grade source spirit, he also had the《Soul Sword Secret Art》, with his mastery he could sweep away cultivators of the same level and even easily challenge higher level cultivators. The most important thing was that Chu Xinghe was still young and his future potential was limitless!

Central State Four Young Masters!

Awe inspiring fame!

Chu Xinghe was not only one of the Central State Four Young Masters, he was also the strongest of the four, their cultivation was high enough that even members of the older generation could only look on from behind them!

"The Chu Family really has an abundance of talented people, it truly was destiny's favour bringing brilliant prosperity being just around the corner." Luo Yuanshan gave a long sigh, then his voice suddenly got louder, "My Luo Family actually had a fellow who didn't live up to expectations, my nephew Luo Yu was killed by that bastard, he truly lost face for our Luo Family!"

"Chu Family has its brilliant prestige, abundant talent, and many geniuses, but because of an illegitimate bastard we've suffered a stain to our reputation." Chu Yi stood and said to Luo Yuanshan, "I ask sir to be relieved since the Chu Family can not tolerate this piece of sand in our eyes, so this time I've come personally to South Sky City to kill that bastard!"

Ye Xiong and Du Zhentian looked at each other.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Chu Tian's growth was truly too fast, they were afraid that before long, he would be able to threaten their status. If they could collaborate with the Luo and Chu families, even that little brat Nangong Yi would have to give up any thoughts of protecting that cheap slave!

These few busy days have not been in vain, being able to draw in the Chu and Luo families, Chu Tian, that superhuman, should give up any hope of escaping!

Luo Yuanshan played with his ring, "I've heard that Nangong Yi was fiercely protecting that bastard?"

Ye Xiong nodded in reply, "That's right, not only is Nangong Yi's attitude tough, but he's also arranged secret masters to monitor us, also his daughter Nangong Yun has gotten very close with Chu Tian….."

Du Zhentian added, "Nangong Yung is not simple! Her reputation is inferior to the Central State Four Young Masters, but her potential and talent are not any less, in fact she could have long since broken through to the Awakened Soul realm, but she has forced herself to stay in the Body Refinement realm to build up her foundation. It is said that although she is in the peak 9th Body Refinement layer, she has the ability to fight with a 1st layer Awakened Soul cultivator!"

Luo Yuanshan face was grave, "She owns a god level source spirit? I've heard rumours of that!"

Ye Xiong added, "Besides Nangong Yun, there is also Alchemy Master Xiong Tianyan who isn't the least bit inferior. Xiong Tianyan's talent is extremely good, but he was infatuated with alchemy and neglected practicing, otherwise he would not be inferior to me. Moreover, South Sky City's general Xiong Bing and Symbol Technique Master Zhang Liqing can both cause trouble for us!"

Du Zhentian nodded his head, "It's really because of this that we have been unable to do anything."

Chu Yi could not believe it, "What is this bastard is made of? I just can't understand anymore. How is it that, in the half a year he went missing, all these earth shattering changes occurred?"

"Young Master Chu, this is exactly the issue." Ye Xiong said in a suggestive tone, "After vanishing for half a year what exactly happened to him? Perhaps he had a fortuitous chance, or perhaps he found an inheritance. Overall, Chu Tian with his cultivation at the 6-7th Body Refinement layer could easily skip ranks and fight. No matter what fortuitous chance or inheritance he obtained, it definitely is not small!"

Chu Yi's showed a greedy look, "Is that so? This bastard really has some dog shit luck!"

Yu Xiong continued, "Chu Tian also mastered some profound knowledge and used it to establish a company, especially that Source Energy restaurant. It just started doing business the day before yesterday and it made 280,000 gold coins in a single day!"

280,000 gold coins!!

Luo Yuanshan and Chu Yi both held their breath!

They were both born into large clans, how could they not know how important money and resources were to cultivators?

Fortuitous chance, inheritances, and get rich quick technology!

All evoked a strong greed!

From their expression, Ye Xiong could tell he had achieved his goal.

Ye Xiong got to the main topic, "Chu Tian is a small character, if we used a large sum of money to invite someone to kill him, it would definitely succeed. If Nangong Yi, at that time, comes to find us to cause trouble, we'll just deny any involvement and he won't have any methods to bother us."

Du Zhentian began to understand Ye Xiong's meaning, "Brother Ye's meaning is, if we were to do this, we shouldn't kill him this easily?"

Luo Yuanshan and Chu Yi both secretly nodded.

Letting him die so painlessly, was that not too easy?

"Naturally it won't be like this!" Ye Xiong showed an evil expression, "Chu Tian has to die, that is a fact, but we can't let him die so easily, we must make him suffer and bring ruin and shame upon himself. We must seize his assets and after doing so, we'll split it evenly between four people!"

The key part was four people.

Moreover it wasn't four families.

Luo Yuanshan and Chu Yi both understood.

Especially Chu Yi, in fact, he only felt anger towards Chu Tian because of the family regulations, but did not particularly care about Chu Tian, but he did not know that Chu Tian had such a successful business.

If Chu Yi did not report this to the family and followed the secret plan, then would he not have this all to himself when they divided the cake?

"Very good!" Luo Yuanshan nodded in satisfaction..

Du Zhentian said, "Zhang Liqing and Nangong Yi will be the biggest obstacles. Zhang Liqing has many connections, he can easily mount a counter attack. Nangong Yi is the Mayor, his cultivation is very strong, and he gets along well with Xiong Bing. Killing Chu Tian is easy, but taking his assets, I'm afraid it won't be so simple."

"Actually, I already planned for this!"

"What ingenious plan does Brother Ye have?"

"It's actually very simple, we'll just openly take it and that'll be that!"

Very interested by this, Luo Yuanshan said, "Openly take it? How do we do this?"

"There must be justification to send armies." Ye Xiong was confident and slowly said in a low, deep voice, "First, we must find a reason, a legitimate reason that will stop Nangong Yi from meddling and if we stop Nangong Yi, the biggest obstacle, that little brat won't be able to stop us, right?"

Luo Yuanshan quickly asked, "Has Ye Xiong already found a reason?"

"No, I haven't." Ye Xiong's voice raised, "But Young Master Chu can provide us a reason."

Chu Yi was a little confused, "How do I have one?"

Ye Xiong slowly guided, "Chu Tian was nothing but waste six months ago and he was locked up for ten years prior to that, he didn't have any opportunity to gain knowledge. But after rebelling against the Chu Family and fleeing, in six months, he suddenly has knowledge to create these inventions, so…. Where did these things come from?!"

Chu Yi was not stupid, he immediately understood, "Chu Family is actually a large academic clan and is very advanced in researching new technologies. When Chu Tian and his father rebelled and fled the clan, they stole the Chu Family's most important secret technology and used it to establish a new company!"

"Right!" Ye Xiong nodded in satisfaction, "Rebelling then fleeing and stealing secrets, these two offences, in any family, could be considered an unforgivable offense. Young Master Chu represents the Chu Family and since this is a family matter, Nangong Yi has no way of interfering!"

"Even if he interferes it doesn't matter!" Luo Yuanshan smiled sinisterly, "The Luo Family governs the judicial office in Central State and is in charge of supervising the office of Mayor directly. The Central Mayor has already fallen out with the Nangong Family. Therefore, they are already dissatisfied with Nangong Yi, so if he chooses to not interfere then that's fine, but if he does choose to interfere, with my judicial elder status, I can directly strip Nangong Yi of his Mayor status and substitute him with someone else. As well after I return, I can also send in a written complaint about him!"

"Good, good, good!" Du Zhentian laughed, "With this written complaint, from his interference with family matters, helping another family's rebel and colluding to steal secret technology, Nangong Yi will land himself in some serious trouble!"

Ye Xiong nodded, "The most important thing is, with Young Master Chu's help, we will have proper justification to seize his company."

"Ingenious plan!"

"Ingenious plan!"

"What's the first thing we should do?"

"Get support!" Ye Xiong stopped before continuing, "The Ye Family and the Du Family have large local influences, we can forcefully interfere with the media and let them release the news about Chu Tian rebelling against the Chu Family and stealing secret technology. We'll cause a stir in the public and under this formidable oppression from the public, Young Master Chu and Sir Luo will act and forcefully apprehend Chu Tian."

If it was like this!

Chu Tian would bring ruin and shame upon himself!

In this time period, there were many families and each family was highly independent, so as long as it did not break the kingdom's laws, family regulations were considered a legitimate reason.

Rebelling against the clan!

Stealing secrets!

These were all capital offenses!

Regardless of which family, it was all the same!

Under this situation, how the family wanted to handle the matters were all the family's internal matters. Outsiders, especially officials, were absolutely not allowed to interfere or else they would be severely punished.

Nangong Yi and Xiong Bing wanted to protect Chu Tian?

Not only would it be hard to do, but it would also start a show!

As this big net of a plot slowly unfolded, Ye Xiong's eyes burned with the flames of revenge. He had spent a long time planning to draw in the Chu and Luo Families' power. Now that Nangong Yi had no way to protect him, Chu Tian was definitely doomed!

Chapter 53: Came looking for trouble

Chu Tian closed up for several days and used 5000 pieces of meteorite grass, the total value was around 60000 gold coins.

Finally breaking through thresholds for the Starlight Immortal Body.

However compared to the small success Glass Body, there was still a great difference. The consumption of the cultivation technique also wasn't constant, the deeper the insight, the more material it required as it slowly grew exponentially!

With Miracle Commerce restaurant's current situation, it was hard to support even one person's practice requirement, not to mention the money required for Miracle Commerce's other projects, and not to mention training other people, and also they had to support Chu Tian as he practiced other cultivation techniques.

How was this cultivating?

It was simply burning money!

But from this cultivation, Chu Tian had obtained many benefits.

He had achieved the 8th Body Refinement layer, but it was not his cultivation where he benefited the most. The power of the stars had completely cleansed the inside and outside of his body, his meridian strength and spirit energy quantity had both increased immensely.

Chu Tian's body strength had increased several times!

This without a doubt had built a strong, stable foundation!

As long as he had enough materials, it was only a matter of time before Chu Tian could reach the Glass Body boundary!

Miracle Commerce was a collective group, so without enough strong people to take command, after it expanded, it would have many problems to face. So to increase the strength of the others, Chu Tian generously passed on his knowledge and personally instructed the core members.

Today, Meng Qingwu, Meng Yingying, Xiong Tianyan, and Zhang Liqing were all present.

They asked all the doubts they had about how to continue their cultivation.

Chu Tian pertinently explained and guided them one by one.

The knowledge of 30000 years in the future was not something that could be joked about, just one drop of Chu Tian's piss knew more than the average person. It could not be said that it was invincible, but in terms of theoretical knowledge, it was absolutely powerful and far ahead.

[TL note - Why a drop of his urine?... But ya the second part is talking about the knowledge of the 30000 years in the future not the urine.]

Every piece of information, was the accruement of several tens of thousands of years of information.

Every theory, was the research results of numerous well known people.

No matter how obscure or abstruse the question was, it could always be solved with the most straightforward method.

The proposals Chu Tian made were always powerful and unconstrained, they were always creative, giving people new inspirations.

Their Starlight Immortal Body progress could not compare to the speed Chu Tian progressed, but they had already reached the threshold. To them this cultivation technique was truly too abstruse, too obscure.

What they heard made them lose their mind.

At this time.

Nangong Yun burst through the door with an anxious face.

"Chu Tian!"

"Something's happened!"

She threw a pile of newspapers in front of the people gathered.

Letting everyone see each and every one of the shocking titles.

《People's Time》headline - "Chu Tian: A rebel illegitimate child!"

《The Daily South Sky City》headline - Chu Family accuses of stealing Chu Family's secret technology!"

《Golden Business Periodical》headline - Gaining fame by deceiving people! Chu Tian is a large swindler!"

《Mercenary Times》headline - "Chu Tian is truly shameless! Increasing his fortune with stolen technology! South Sky City does not approve!"

Everyone was shocked!

How did this happen?

Several days ago the media was singing praises about Chu Tian, but today like they all ate several jin of , in a single night, they turned against him and starting crazily bad mouthing him.

The three main points were.

1. Chu Tian rebelled against his clan.

2. Chu Tian was an illegitimate child of the Central State Chu Family, a bastard that did not have any status.

3. Chu Tian's technology were all stolen from the Chu Family from the time he rebelled and fled.

Chu Tian was portrayed as mean, cunning scum that stole technology from his own family!

Damn!

Those bastards could think of this kind of move!

There was no need to doubt that South Sky City would once again be in a stir!

Chu Tian was once again in the eye of the storm, and Miracle Commerce once again became the focal point of everyone's discussions.

Miracle Commerce was like a meteor, shining for a few days and then falling from the clouds to earth.

This kind of dramatic change, many people did not expect!

Naturally, the success of the Source Energy restaurant caused many people to be envious!

These articles seemed more justified, Chu Tian's life story was clearly stated for all to see!

A sixteen-seventeen year of youth, was it possible for him to come up with such state of the art technology? It was impossible! There was definitely something wrong!

Various doubts were continually expressed!

Zhang Liqing's brow knit together as he said, "This is truly vicious, this was done to let Chu Tian bring ruin and shame upon himself!"

Xiong Tianyan irritably said, "What nonsense! Do people believe this kind of stuff? We have to hurry and explain it!"

Nangong Yun's beautiful pupils flashed with angry flames, a palm slammed down on the table, her phoenix eyes opened wide as she exclaimed angrily, "Fuck! Explaining won't have any use! These bunch of bastards want to scheme against us! Old aunt here will just extinguish them and that'll be that!"

"You guys calm down a bit." Meng Qingwu felt a little suffocated, but since Southern Cloud Commerce was established, she had faced many ups and downs so she did not lose her senses, "This matter has nothing to do with the media!"

"Then it was done by the Chu Family!" Nangong Yun, ablaze with anger, said, "The Chu Family is centralized in Central State city, what influence do the have in South Sky City! What prestige and power do they have! My Nangong Family is still an Imperial City large clan!"

Meng Qingwu quickly said, "Because it's like this, the more fishy it is, this matter was obviously done by the Chu Family, but the Chu Family does not have much influence in South Sky City, so how could they have the ability to change the opinion of South Sky City's media in a single night?

"You're saying…."

Meng Qingwu solemnly nodded, "This matter on the surface seems like the Chu Family coming to cause trouble. But the final analysis, they don't have the local influence to cause this kind of trouble, so there must be someone secretly supporting them, or else this could not have happened so fast."

Understood.

Ye Family and Du Family are both ingrained in South Sky City. It was them that threatened the media to orchestrate this treachery, so they could coordinate with the Chu Family to launch an attack!

From the beginning it was all a part of their plot!

First they clearly investigate Chu Tian's identity.

Then they gave the news about Chu Tian to the Chu Family.

Then they provoked the enmity between Chu Tian and the Chu Family, using that to help increase their resource, weaving a large net!

Ye Xiong was wary of Nangong Yi and Zhang Liqing, he did not have a method to directly deal with Chu Tian, so he planned to murder him with a borrowed knife.

Meng Yingying worriedly asked, "What do we do now?"

"First we shouldn't blindly make a move, this is merely drumming up the support of the public, the killing blow shouldn't have been dealt yet. We can't stop them from talking, so just let them talk."

"But we can't just do nothing! This concerns Chu Tian's reputation!"

"Don't worry, these facts may seem astonishing, but in reality they are full of flaws. The more we try to explain, the more we arouse suspicion, so we might as well wait a few days and let it all blow over and everyone has cooled down. Then I'll try to mediate and bring back the public's opinion. Any rash moves could cause us to fall into another trap."

Meng Qingwu's brain was very calm, she was used to crisis management and was very experienced.

Chu Tian thought, "You're too passive, we should use this as initiative to attack!"

Meng Qingwu forced a smile, "Attack? They've clearly taken the initiative!"

Chu Tian narrowed his eyes as he swept over the paper, the corners of the his mouth turned into a smile that no one could see through, "Appearance only! Those idiots think that they have the advantage, not knowing that they're just digging a hole to bury themselves in."

Digging a big hole.

Burying themselves in it?

What did this sentence mean?

Several guards ran over in distress.

"Young miss, this isn't good!"

"There are many people outside!"

"They are rushing in, we can't hold them!"

The sky was cloudy, dark clouds hung above, faint flashes of thunder could be seen, a depressing atmosphere of a storm brewing could be felt.

Several hundred militants came together and surrounded the gates, stones and burning bottles were thrown into the garden, a sharp cry pierced through the courtyard.

"That bastard Chu Tian!"

"Bring him out for me!"

Chu Tian had his Hyperfocus and Mind's Eye so he was invincible against cultivators of the same level, plus he had started practicing the《Starlight Immortal Body》recently so unless he met an Awakened Soul Realm cultivator, he did not have to care.

Moreover he had Xiong Tianyan, Nangong Yun, and Zhang Liqing's protection!

They want him to come out, then he'll just come out!

Chu Tian openly walked out the gate, "Today's weather is so dreary, but you are all so passionate, I am truly flattered!"

"Stop speaking rubbish!"

"You are a rebel of the Chu Family!"

"We were blind, we never thought that you would be such a shameless person!"

Several Chu Family guards had an indignant appearance while staring at him. They looked just like they were facing the person who killed their father.

In the crowd, there was an around 30 year old youth, tall stature, sharp aura, and eyes like thunder. His spirit energy was dense, it was obvious he was a top grade master!

If this was a person from South Sky City, he would not have been inferior in any bit to Xiong Tianyan!

The crowd outside the gate was abuzz with talk, it looked like this time Chu Tian was in serious trouble!

"Everyone, I am Chu Yi, Central State Chu Family, the son of the fourth elder!"

"Chu Tian is the shame of our Chu Family, he should not have been born into this world. The Chu Family was benevolent and allowed him to live, but who would have thought that he would not be grateful at all and actually stole the family's secret technology!"

"These so called new found technology, all came from the Chu Family's research department! That is the hard lifelong work of the elders of the Chu Family!

"Chu Tian not only stole the family's secret and tarnished our reputation, he also injured the envoys we sent before resulting in one person dead and two crippled."

"Such a heartless, cruel thing, is such a cruel, merciless person is allowed to keep living, he will bring who knows what kind of trouble in the future!"

Once the crowd heard these words.

They were filled with righteous indignation.

No wonder that youth Chu Tian could come up with so many miracles!

All this time, this kind of thing, rebelled against the family and stole the family's secret!

"I never thought! That he would be this kind of scum!"

"You don't belong in South Sky City, quickly scram!"

"Everyone let's all punish this degenerate together!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"..."

The crowd started reacting accordingly, but if you looked carefully, it wasn't hard to see that there were members of the Ye Family's guard hidden in the crowd, secretly guiding them.

The population was truly stirred up.

They were all filled with righteous indignation!

Chu Yi loudly shouted, "Grab this thief! Execute him on the spot!"

Several dynamic Chu Family guards suddenly sprang out from the crowd, they were prepared to capture Chu Tian alive.

"Scram!" Nangong Yun's sweet, delicate voice exploded out, a palm shot out creating wind pressure. The wind pressure hit the guards and knocked several guards away. "Who dare to move! I'll kill him!"

Chu Yi's eyes had a trace of a sneer, "Under the gaze of the crowd, the Mayor's daughter still dare to help this traitor? Men, come, take him away!"

A dozen people rushed out of the crowd.

These were the Ye and Du family's masters.

Suddenly a fierce pressure erupted from the distance, a strong, low roar was heard, "Who dares to cause difficulties for others in my presence!"

Nangong Yi leaped out from a beast carriage, like a goshawk flying gently and swiftly over the crowd, falling heavily between both sides!

The Mayor had arrived!

Chu Yi seeing Nangong Yi arrive, he was not surprised, "Mayor Nangong? My Chu Family is apprehending a thief, what qualifications do you have to stop me!"

Chu Tian was from the Chu Family?

Chu Tian was an illegitimate child of the Chu Family?

These pieces of news startled Nangong Yi.

However, if they said that Chu Tian's knowledge was stolen from the Chu Family, even if he was beaten to death, Nangong Yi wouldn't believe it!

If the Chu Family had this kind of technology, why would they hole up in this tiny little county? Wouldn't that be a huge joke?

Moreover.

Could an unreliable illegitimate child be able to understand how to use the Mind's Eye?

Could an unreliable illegitimate child be able to discover the crystal oil refining method?

If Chu Family had this kind of technology and discovered the Source Energy lamps and Source Energy pots, there would be no way that they wouldn't publicize it!

"If you wish to incriminate, you can always come up with a charge!" Nangong Yi stood in the middle, not angered by the threat, his strong aura oppressed all the people around, "A mere junior dares to put on air in front of this Mayor! Let Chu Jiangshan come here personally, I'm interested in exchanging a few moves with him!"

"You……"

Chu Yi face slightly change colours.

This Nangong Yi really has a big tone, he actually wants the head of household to come spar with him!

The Nangong Clan was one of the kingdom's three big family, Nangong Yi was from a branch family!

Nangong Yi walks forward a step, the formidable pressure, able to move mountains forced everyone to move back a step, "You still haven't left! Are you compelling me to make a move?"

"Mayor Nangong Yi, really big prestigious official." At this time, a low deep sound came from the crowd, "But using your power and prestige to interfere in the Chu Family's business, I'm afraid that's a bit improper!"

Who was it?

The people were all shocked!

Who in South Sky City had the courage to talk like this to the Mayor?

Chapter 54: Interrogation

A slightly fat, balding middle aged man calmly walked over.

This person had a hooked nose, eyes sharp like a falcon, his body exuded a formidable aura. While it wasn't enough to contend with Nangong Yi, it was enough to resist Nangong Yi's power.

An Awakened Soul Realm cultivator!

Nangong Yi's complexion slightly changed!

Where did this fellow come from?

Luo Yuan Shan smiled a taunting smiled and pulled a white jade token from his chest, lifting it high in the air, he loudly announced, "Main City's supervisor palace, Judicial Ministry law enforcement elder Luo Yuanshan is here!"

The supervisor palace held the authority in the Main City.

It was directly under the Central State Main City's Mayor and had the authority to give general and chief officials their positions, it was a large department.

Luo Yuanshan continued to loudly announce, "Nangong Yi has overstepped his bounds, interfering with the Chu Family's private matters goes against the laws of the kingdom. This elder cannot sit by and do nothing, therefore I ask the Mayor to stop interfering until the matter is properly investigated!"

Nangong Yi's face clouded with doubt.

Luo Yuanshan confidently said, "Mayor, my words are very clear! I ask sir Mayor to step out of the way and to stop wasting everyone's time!"

The supervising palace held the authority in the Main City and Nangong Yi's status was not steady, if the supervising palace took this opportunity to create trouble, Nangong Yi might not be able to keep his Mayor position.

Did Nangong Yi still dare to make a move?

Nangong Yi suddenly realized, this was all a plot, "What are you guys planning to do?"

"The question sir Mayor asked isn't right." Luo Yuanshan had a righteous look, "The matters of the Chu Family, you don't have the right to manage, I don't have the right to manage, how it should be handled, we have to ask a member of the Chu Family."

Chu Yi gravely said, "The crime of rebelling against the family, death is the only option. Not only did he rebel against the family, he also stole the family's secrets, he must be cut to ten thousand pieces and fed to the worms, by the prestige of the Chu Family!"

"Can't you hear?" Luo Yuanshan snorted and gently beckoned with his hand," What are you gawking at? Drag that thief in front of me! Cut him to ten thousand pieces and feed him to the worms!"

Meng Yingying indignantly clenched her small fist!

Not only did they falsely accuse Chu Tian, they also wanted to use such a cruel and evil method to kill him?

Meng Yingying did not have the time to open her mouth before everyone felt a tremble from under their feet.

Nangong Yi's cloak started moving even though there was no wind, a strong flame power surged from his body. Dense spirit energy starting releasing intense flames, a suffocating wave of heat covered an area of several hundred meters.

Rumbling!

The Volcano Source Spirit slowly appeared!

A terrifying aura erupted.

A destructive power began brewing, like a volcano suppressed for tens of millions of years was suddenly released, bring an end to the world!

Luo Yuanshan was shocked and stepped back several steps, his forehead broke out in a sweat, "Nangong Yi, you actually want to make a move against a member of the supervising palace? Are you tired of your position?!"

Nangong Yi coldly laughed, "It's fine if I'm not the Mayor! As long as I, Nangong Yi am here, I won't tolerate your kind of villains!"

Chu Tian's value was beyond the position of Mayor!

Even if he had to utilize the power of his cultivation technique, he had to protect Chu Tian!

Luo Yuanshan imposing manner fell, he intensely exclaimed, "Nangong Yi! You're a Mayor yet you break the kingdom's laws, what should be your punishment!"

"If you wish to incriminate, you won't lack a reason?" Nangong Yi's imposing manner was slowly becoming more formidable, there was even a ice cold murderous intent, "Trivial Luo Family elder, do you really I think I care about you? Even if I killed you, can the laws judge me?"

In this world, strength was revered!

Nangong Yi did not have the means to protect legitimately.

Then he just had to use force!

By all means, he had to protect Chu Tian!

Luo Yuanshan didn't think it would become like this, the whole plan was built on Nangong Yi giving in under difficult circumstances.

Who would have guessed that for a wasted brat, Nangong Yi would even give up the position of Mayor?

As Chu Tian was watching all of this, the corners of his mouth turned into an indifferent smile. In fact, Ye Xiong's reaction and even what's happening now, Chu Tian had already predicted it all.

After the summit ended, Chu Tian had long prepared for this.

Does this group of brats want to fight me?

The difference is too far!

Nangong Yun laughed excitedly, "Very good! That is more like my dad!"

Luo Yuanshan was unable to back down, so he crossed his heart, "Since the Mayor insists on breaking the kingdom's laws by harboring this thief, then I, as a judicial elder, shall put my life on the line to protect the kingdom's laws!"

"Good!"

"Elder Luo is truly righteous!"

"We offer our help!"

Several figures fell down from the surroundings, Ye Xiong, Du Zhentian, Li Changyun, and several other top experts instantly formed an encirclement around Nangong Yi!

Awakened Soul cultivators were joining hands to go against Mayor?

The onlookers were all shocked!

Facing all of these Awakened Soul cultivators, instead of getting angry, Nangong Yi face broke into a smile, "Good! Since you're resolved to fight, don't say that this Mayor did not give you a chance! Come at me together!"

"Mayor's righteous cause, this old man will help you!" Zhang Liqing gently stepped, like a breeze, he instantly moved tens of meters, landing beside Nangong Yi with a huge pair of green hawk appearing on his back.

"Screech!"

An ear grating hawk cry, pierced through the air!

Green spirit energy condensed into the shape of giant hawk, soaring above the nine heavens, disdainfully looking down on all living beings. A dense, formidable pressure covered all the people present, sharp murderous intent could be felt inducing fear in everyone.

Nangong Yi was brewing with extreme anger, "You want to fight! Then I'll fight! In this small South Sky City, there is no one that I fear!"

A little Chu Tian could cause all these Awakened Soul cultivators to fight like this?

The destructive power of Awakened Soul cultivators was devastating, it was simply a catastrophe!

Nangong Yi and Zhang Liqing, these two people both had frightening strength, especially Nangong Yi. His cultivation was immeasurably deep, his Volcano Source Spirit's destructive power was astonishing, and had overwhelming strength.

The surroundings were all densely populated areas!

The destructive power of Nangong Yi's volcanic powers was simply too formidable, even if it was slightly displayed, it would result in innocent casualties. Considering this point, it was impossible for Nangong Yi to fight at his full strength.

Zhang Liqing's cultivation was very high, but it was still difficult for two people to fight four people!

Once the fighting began, the two would inevitably be restrained.

The Meng sisters were feeling a bit helpless.

They had lost control of this sudden development!

The consequences of the fight between South Sky City's top contenders, people could not even begin to imagine the consequences!

Once this became a big matter, for Miracle Commerce and Chu Tian, it would not be good!

What should that do?

When the atmosphere had become this extreme!

A lazy voice, very ill timed, suddenly sounded out, "Sir Mayor, why are you so angry? This is just a small matter! First step back and let this little person say a few sentences."

Chu Tian was full of contradictions.

A litigant, but he didn't have a bit of consciousness!

Nangong Yi was so mad he almost went crazy. They want to cut you into tens of thousands of pieces and you still act like you don't care, do you have multiple lives?

All eyes gazed upon him.

Chu Tian walked out to the centre of the courtyard like talking a leisurely walk and faced Chu Yi's group, "You keep proclaiming that I am a member of the Chu Family and that I rebelled against the family and stole the family's secrets, but while we're on this topic…."

Chu Tian showed a cheap smile, "Am I, really a member of the Chu Family?"

Everyone was shocked!

What did this sentence mean?

Could it be that Chu Yi had recognized the wrong person?

Chu Yi angrily said, "If you aren't a member of the Chu Family, then perhaps you were born out of a rock!"

"You must have evidence to say such things!" Chu Tian deceitfully smiled, "Where is the evidence? Why don't you take out the genealogy for everyone to see! If the genealogy has my, Chu Tian's name on it then I'll cleanly bare my head for the execution?"

"Scoundrel thing! How could a bastard like you tarnish our genealogy!"

"Now doesn't that feel strange, if I am not in the genealogy, can I be considered a member of the Chu Family? If I am not in the genealogy, how could I have committed the crime of rebelling against the family? If I am not in the genealogy, how can the Chu Family try to punish me with their regulations!"

These kinds of remarks.

Everyone could only gawk.

The family system of the continent was very strict, every male offspring, regardless of what branch line, had to be registered in the genealogy.

The kingdom's laws allowed family regulations to exist, but its reaches were not infinite, otherwise what use were the kingdom's laws? The family regulations had an applicable range, the range was only within the family and the genealogy was representation of who was in the family!

A person who cannot enter the genealogy, will lose all his resource distribution and privileges, cannot hold any official positions in the family, cannot practice the family's special cultivation technique, and was no different from than average bystander.

Since they could not enjoy the family's privileges.

They obviously could not be restrained by the family regulations.

If he did not enter the genealogy, that meant the family did not acknowledge him, so could he be considered a member of the Chu Family? If Chu Tian was not a member of the Chu Family, then the nature of the matter would be completely different!

Ye Xiong never thought Chu Tian would be so sly, "You are misleading the crowd!"

Chu Yi was seething with rage, "You little thing, turning your back on family, the blood of the Chu Family flows in your body, we've worked hard raised you for ten years, such ungrateful words you can actually say? You really are a heartless, cruel bastard!

Raised for ten years?

More like kept captive for ten years!

Even though he had lost his memories, Chu Tian could still feel that during those ten years he was treated like a dog!

His father suffered extreme humiliation, so he brought Chu Tian to flee, but ended up being killed and Chu Tian was reduced to being a slave.

Chu Yi started attacking from another angle, "Stealing the Chu Family's secrets, just this fact is enough for you to be chopped to ten thousand pieces!"

"You accuse me of stealing your technology, but where is your evidence?" Chu Tian sees Chu Yi's contracted expression and smiled while shaking his head, "I ask you not to pretend that everyone here is an idiot, anyone with a little bit of brain would be able to see through your nonsense!"

Chu Yi bit down hard, "Give up any ideas of trying to quibble!"

Chu Tian faced the sky and laughed, his voice became stronger and he loudly began to interrogate.

"Then, I'll just ask you a few questions!"

"If the Chu Family invented the Source Energy lamp and pot, then why would then not make a single move for half a year. Why would they allow me to establish my own company in South Sky City and to earn my first pot of gold? Perhaps the Chu Family is full of good-for-nothings?"

"If the Chu Family really had this kind of treasured technology, why would they not send cultivators to steal it back from this trivial person who can't even be a part of the genealogy? Moreover it has been half a year since you've been robbed, but there has been no response at all? Perhaps the Chu Family is full of idiots?"

"If I really stole the Chu Family's technology and it was discovered by the Chu Family, this kind of important matter, why does the Chu Family hierarchy not have any kind of response and instead sends a little junior here instead? Perhaps the Chu Family have all died?

"You answer me these questions!"

"Why!"

A series of questions.

All cunning and precise!

Each one addressing a key point!

Everyone that heard this was suddenly enlightened, this matter was truly fishy, but the matter had developed too quickly and no one had time to think it through. They only felt angry because they were caught up by the mood!

Ye Xiong, Luo Yuanshan, and Du Zhentian complexion paled.

He really could eloquently argue!

The reason why they took action so quickly was to not give Chu Tian any time to think. They would first stall them with a show of strength, then with lightning like momentum, dispose of him and worry about the consequences after!

Ye Xiong underestimated the importance Nangong Yi attached to Chu Tian.

Even more he underestimate Chu Tian's arguing abilities!

This was a joke, father here came from 30000 years in the future and was the Continent's youngest Wiseman, usually no problems eating until I'm full. I love to argue with old immortals, these fellows think that they can win against me? Too immature!

Towards these questions, Chu Yi was speechless.

Ye Xiong saw that the situation was bad, "You little evildoer truly has a good glib tongue, you think that by distorting the facts you can trick these people? You keep going on about how we have no evidence that you stole the Chu Family's technology, but what evidence do you have to prove yourself! You spent ten years in the Chu Family and it hasn't even been six months since you ran away and was even reduced to being a slave, where could you have gotten this technology from!"

Luo Yuanshan nodded his head, "Brother Ye's argument is very rational, first we'll detain him and then interrogate him, we'll properly investigate and figure out the truth!

Once Chu Tian was detained.

Would he still have his life?

Chu Tian showed a faint smile, "Good, I'll just prove myself to you then!"

Everyone stared at him.

Can this brat really prove himself?

"Let's do it like this, Ye, Du, Luo, and Chu Family….." Chu Tian one by one called their names, his smiling face gradually receded and was gradually replaced with a severe expression, an expression that was strong as thunder, "To be honest, you four waste families, this father had not even placed you in my eyes! So let's just do whatever, weapon refining, pill refining, symbol arrays, whichever field you choose it's all fine! I'll give you three chances and if I win all of them, you guys don't need to do anything, just commit suicide to apologize!"

This kind of remark!

Everyone was shocked!

This kind of courage at this kind of time!

A single person was challenging four families!

Perhaps even if it was a profound master, they still wouldn't dare to be this arrogant!

Zhang Liqing quickly came over and said, "Don't be over emotional, this is an impossible task to achieve!"

Everyone had their shortcomings and merits, no matter how profound your knowledge was, it was impossible to know every detail!

Zhang Liqing's knowledge was profound, but did he dare to say he was invincible? The strongest here was the one with the deepest comprehensive knowledge, there were some people who focused on crafting first talismans and some who focused on earth talismans. In the field, there were also many small branches.

Chu Tian disdainfully curled his lips, "Old Zhang don't worry! This master here has given them three chances to prove that I am an incompetent person! If they can't do it, then these fellows would be a group of good-for-nothings! Why would I, Chu Tian, steal from a group of good-for-nothings?!"

Everyone already knew that Chu Tian was crazy, but they never thought he would be crazy enough to think of this kind of situation, he was simply insane!

A single person challenging four families!

This was an almost impossible to achieve task!

Ye Xiong gave Li Changyun a meaningful glance, Li Changyun understood, "Arrogant little child, if you want to bring shame upon yourself, this old man will help you!"

The chairman of the South Sky City Alchemy Guild was challenging a little brat that was still wet behind the ears?

This was too unfair!

Not to say South Sky City, even in Central State city, Li Changyun could still be considered an important person!

Chu Tian showed a faint smile, "Alright!"

Everyone's face turned to panic!

"But I am using my life and reputation as a stake, you can't just not present a stake yourself can you?" Chu Tian said this and suddenly stopped for a second, "If you lose, you'll withdraw from your position of chairman and scram from South Sky City! Old ignorant man, do you dare to bet?

Li Changyun's complexion paled.

This little brat had his eyes on the chairman position!

This chairman position was far from an empty duty, the Alchemy Guild's chairman had control over all of the city's Alchemy matters!

Once Li Changyun stepped down, they would have control of the Alchemy Guild, then Southern Cloud Commerce will be able to enter the medicine business. Coordinating with Zhang Liqing's talisman division, they would be able to sweep through South Sky City!

Ye Xiong's face also darkened.

For the Ye Family to have such status in South Sky City, it was dependent on Li Changyun cooperation. If Li Changyun lost his chairman position and was forced to leave South Sky City, it was equal to cutting off an arm from the Ye Family!

Chapter 55: Competition of poisons

A teenage youth in the Body Refinement realm dare to gamble with his life!

A dignified Awakened Soul realm cultivator!

The Alchemy Guild's Chairman!

A well renowned person!

Li Changyun couldn't be so timid under the public's gaze, so with a gloomy face he said, "I accept your conditions!"

Can this wet behind the ears little boy win against me?

This fellow that didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!

This was simply a joke!

"Since you don't fear any kind of challenge." Li Changyun thought of an evil and cruel plan, "Then this old man will have to ask for your advice in the field of refining poisons!"

Poison!

Refining poison?!

Everyone's face slightly paled.

Zhang Liqing's face was dignified.

Li Changyun cared a lot about materialistic gains, he especially like be opportunistic, therefore he learned the unorthodox and built up his poison refining skill. In the Central States, his name was well known, if he wanted to kill someone, no one had the luck to escape.

Chu Tian was not afraid and crisply laughed, "If this ignorant man does not fear death, then what do I have to fear! Since you've decided on this, I'll accompany you to the end!"

Complying so easily?

It was simply looking for death!

No wonder!

"Ha, ha, your ignorance and stupidity is truly rare in this world." Li Changyun gave two gloomy laughs, "We'll both refine a set of poison and antidote, then we exchange antidotes and ingest each other's poison. If you aren't affected by the poison, then you win, if you're affected by the poison you lose!"

[TL Note - Ya this was confusing in chinese as it is in English, but I think what they're trying to say is they'll make poisons for each other then create antidotes for the other person's poison.]

The onlookers were terrified!

How was this a competition?

It was simply playing with one's life!

Both sides would refine poisons for the other person, then they would both refine antidotes on the spot and ingest the antidote and poison together, if the poison exhibit effects, they would lose!

Refining poison was easy, but curing it was hard!

What was the danger? If you were a little careless you would lose your life!

This not only tested your Alchemy knowledge, but also tested you wisdom and courage!

The worry in Ye Xiong's heart vanished.

The poison Li Changyun used, no one could cure. This was an execution, that brat was dead for sure!

Killing Chu Tian in a competition like this, they could avoid directly conflicting with Nangong Yi!

"That's not good! This isn't fair!" Meng Qingwu furrowed her black eyebrows and walked out, "Awakened Soul cultivators can refine level 2 medicines, but with his Body Refinement cultivation, Chu Tian can only refine level 1 medicines. This kind of different level competition isn't fair at all!"

Xiong Tianyan also declared, "This doesn't conform with the spirit of the Alchemy profession! You can't compete like this!"

Li Changyun's words were sharp, "He was the one who said all those arrogant things, who can you blame? Right now there is no path of retreat, either admit your defeat or fight this old man!"

Meng Qingwu was angry, "Surnamed Li, you are also a renowned person, are you not afraid of being mocked for being so shameless?"

Li Changyun disdainfully said, "With this kind of villain, there is no need for morality!"

Xiong Tianyan started insulting, "Good old dog! Who is the real shameless person? It seems to me that you're the one who's truly shameless!"

Li Changyun was also angry, "Surnamed Xiong, there is nothing for you to say here!"

"Old Xiong, little miss, I have to trouble you to step back." Chu Tian was smiling without any irritation, "I remember once saying that this old fool was not even qualified to put on my shoes, this sentence still has not changed! If he wants to compete, then I'll just compete, am I, Chu Tian, scared to fight?

Rampant! Arrogant!

Since Chu Tian even said it like this.

Meng Qingwu and Xiong Tianyan couldn't do anything.

Li Changyun was so mad he almost suffered internal injuries, but he suppressed his anger. If this little duckling wanted to be stubborn, let's see how long he can keep it up for!

Li Changyun coldly listed his materials, "Ghost face spiders, six coloured centipedes, carrion scorpions, scarlet blood toad, twin headed viper, one of each kind!"

As soon as everyone heard.

They're faces filled with terror.

Five different violent poisonous creatures, any one of them was enough to kill a 9th layer Body Refinement cultivator!

If the five different violent poisonous materials were refined into a single toxin, perhaps even if it was used on an Awakened Soul cultivator, it would be hard for them to live through it!

Nangong Yi and Zhang Liqing's complexion changed.

This old fool wanted to refine the Five Poison Water!

Five Poison Water, as the name implies, uses five different violent poisons and mixes them together. So the poison was very complex, not to mention after being refined with a Source Energy Array, it would become even more complex, it was extremely difficult to decipher this poison.

Meng Yingying and Nangong Yun were full of confidence.

But at this time, they were both still extremely worried for Chu Tian.

Meng Qingwu pursed her lips and her body somewhat shivered.

If he did not not succeed…..she simply could not imagine!

This not so tall youth, at this moment was standing bravely, like a tenacious piece of coral resisting the turbulent rough sea waves, "Blood demon fruit, three leaves flower, and lamenting grass…."

The youth was calm, not irritated at all, like handling an unimportant matter.

Meng Qingwu stared at his handsome face, that pair of unconcerned dry eyes had a calming effect on her. Meng Qingwu's anxious heart was pacified.

The ingredients Li Changyun demanded were all violently poisonous things.

The ingredients Chu Tian requested were just average.

The difference between the two was so big, everyone felt nervous for Chu Tian.

Ye Xiong whispered to Li Changyun, "Master, are you confident? This person does not follow common sense!"

"Relax, this brat truly does have some skills. He wants to refine the blood spirit poison that is the strongest out of all level 1 poisons." Li Changyun could see through Chu Tian's plans and he smiled confidently, "If it was any other South Sky City alchemist, it would be a formidable poison, but for this old man, there is no threat."

Both sets of ingredients were quickly delivered.

Both of them pulled out their tools to begin refining.

Li Changyun prepared six different refining bottles, five to refine each of the toxins on their own and the final one to mix the toxins together and to do the final refining in.

Nangong Yun was amazed, "What is this technique, I've never seen anything like this before!"

"Chu Tian is in trouble!" Xiong Tianyan wrinkled his brows, "This is a high level alchemy skill!"

"What's wrong?"

"By first refining each of the toxins separately he's completely changing their nature, then they are refined together. The entire process refines the poison twice making it hard to guess the composition. Like this, no one could guess what his Five Poison Water was made of!"

Nangong Yun stared with open eyes, "First refining each of the poison into completed poisons and then using those finished products to refine a new poison, unexpectedly you can do it like this…."

Despite Li Changyun's morality being questionable.

His skills in alchemy, no one dared to question!

Chu Tian refines a single bottle, refining seriously without any change, just like an ordinary Alchemist refining an ordinary bottle of medicine.

The liquid gradually turned red and from the colour people could tell that it truly was the Blood Spirit Poison.

The Blood Spirit Poison was a violent poison, it clotted all the blood in a person's body, eventually the heart stops beating.

The fact that Chu Tian could refine this Blood Spirit Poison already attested to his skills in alchemy, but with this level of poison, could he win against a person like Li Changyun?

Everyone sighed!

This brat was dead for sure!

He dared to challenge the Alchemy Guild Chairman with this kind of skill?

Both sides simultaneously finished refining!

Li Changyun handed his poison over. Seeing the bright red coloured liquid in the bottle, he let out a disdainful laugh, "Blood Spirit Poison? You've already lost!"

Chu Tian held the Five Poison Water, it continuously bubbled in the dark green solution.

Chu Tian was calm, "Is that so?"

Li Changyun coldly smiled and said, "After drinking the Five Poison Water, in ten rests your body will be covered in festering pus and you'll die, then your body will release toxic gas in an area of ten zhang (3.33m per zhang)!"

Such a terrifying poison!

Everyone quickly withdrew, leaving a large empty space.

Chu Tian didn't think so, "Is it this fierce? Then I really have to give it a try!" He took the Five Poison Water and swinged it a bit and his brows wrinkled and after a minute, his lips turned into a smile.

"Now I'll start refining a cure! I need figs, clear light bugs, and nine leaf ginseng…."

Li Changyun was confident, calmly listing the standard antidote formula!

This was a cure specially for the Blood Spirit Poison!

Li Changyun was truly rich in experience, immediately starting to refine the antidote!

The bad feeling in Nangong Yi's heart kept growing, especially after seeing that Chu Tian was not moving at all, he hurried over and asked, "What ingredients do you need for the cure, I'll help you find them!"

"No need!"

Chu Tian's extraordinary words made everyone startled!

What Chu Tian did next, really surprised everyone!

He drew a Source Energy refining array and directly placed the Five Poison Water in the center, then activated the array with his spirit energy releasing a dazzling light that started to build up in the refining bottle filled with the dark green liquid which started boiling in excitement.

What was he doing?

Everyone was confused.

Li Changyun was also completely confused!

Chu Tian did not ask for any detoxing ingredients, but instead placed the Five Poison Water into a new refining array and started refining it again!

What this fellow insane?

What was the significance in doing this!

Actually this Source Energy Array was called "Purification", it was actually a common technique used by the future generation that had the main effect of purifying harmful substances and dark attribute energy. Under this purification effect, any poison would be dissolved and will turn into a harmless substance.

The Five Poison Water refined by Li Changyun was without a doubt a level 2 poison!

But it was made from five different level 1 ingredients!

Therefore, the toxins in the Five Poison Water, after final analysis, was still a level 1 ingredient, so Chu Tian used a level 1 purifying array which was more than enough to easily dissolve the toxins.

After several minutes.

Li Changyun poured his antidote into the poison Chu Tian refined and looked at Chu Tian tauntingly, "Can we start now?"

Chu Tian had already finished his extract, the poison inside the refining bottle had already turned light green and had stopped bubbling, "Do you want to drink first or should I?"

"Such insignificant abilities, is it even worth mentioning? I'll let you see the disparity between us!" Li Changyun drank the bright red liquid in one single breath and broke the bottle, "You Blood Spirit Poison is only mediocre!"

Chu Tian raised his head and poured the Five Poison Water down.

Hiss!

He unexpectedly drank all of it!

Everyone hurriedly withdraw in fright!

Chu Tian was now like a bomb, in a minute his body would fester up and die and then his corpse would start releasing deadly gas endangering the people near him.

"Chu Tian!"

"How do you feel?"

Nangong Yun, Meng Qingwu, and Meng Yingying was extremely anxious.

Li Changyun showed an evil smile, this little brat did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, he thinks the Five Poison Water is so easy to cure? Moreover, without and detoxing ingredients, he rashly refined the Five Poison Water again without knowing its composition, that would only make the poison even more complicated.

Even if a deity descended, it was still impossible to save him!

Nangong Yi, Zhang Liqing, and Xiong Tianyan were staring stubbornly at Chu Tian.

One rest!

Two rests!

Three rests!

…...

The entire ten rests passed and forget about the poison having effects.

Chu Tian face seemed to have a gloss to it, nothing had happened at all!

Li Changyun revealed an unbelieveable face, "How is this possible!"

"This flavour……" Chu Tian licked his lips and then smacked them a few times, "Not bad, a little like Suan Mei Tang!"

Everyone was so surprised their chins dropped!

Such a violent poison, in Chu Tian's mouth actually turned into Suan Mei Tang!

"YAY!"

Meng Yingying and Nangong Yun both applauded and loudly cheered.

Meng Qingwu's clenched fist slowly loosened and the corners of her mouth turned into a bitter smile, "This fellow, really cannot make people not worry!"

"How can you possibly cure my Five Poison Water!" Li Changyun old face filled with uncertainty, "Impossible, this is definitely impossible!"

Ye Xiong also knitted his brows.

Seems like Chu Tian really had some skills.

Luo Yuanshan stood and said, "Since both sides show no symptoms, then that means it is a tie!"

Chu Yi hurriedly said, "This fellow already promised, as long as he doesn't win once he would commit suicide to apologize. Now it ended with a draw therefore he didn't win, so there's nothing else to say!"

"That's right!"

"He should kill himself in apology!"

Some voices immediately sounded out from the crowd.

"I think Chu Tian is better!" Meng Qingwu's voice sounded, "A teenager, in a different level situation was able to tie with Li Changyun, doesn't this solve the problem?"

Meng Yingying hurriedly shouted, "What sister said is right!"

Ye Xiong insisted, "A tie is a tie!"

Du Zhentian said, "A tie doesn't count as a victory!"

"That's right!"

"Stop trying to argue!"

Both sides unceasingly debated.

The bystanders also flooded out in whispers.

This competition already solved the problem, Chu Tian absolutely was not waste, Ye Xiong's group is definitely setting a death trap, but what is the motive?

"Ha, ha? Tie? Who said it was a tie!"

The person who spoke, it was Chu Tian!

Everyone was startled as they stared at him.

Chu Tian with a mysterious gaze, used a sarcastic tone and said, "This master here, you didn't really think that what I refined was only a bottle of Blood Spirit Poison right? If you really think that, then you're too naive!"

Chapter 56: Symbol arrangement techniques

If it wasn't Blood Spirit Poison then what was it?

"Trying to fool me!" Li Changyun face was full of disdain, "Whether it was the ingredients, or the colour, or smell, it was all like the Blood Spirit Poison. Or else is there anything that was fake?"

"These ingredients are for refining the Blood Spirit Poison, but I slightly altered the material proportions. If the proportions are changed, then the medicine won't be the same."

"What did you say!"

"You were too negligent, so you didn't notice, but I put over five times the amount of lamenting grass during the refining."

Li Changyun complexion paled, "What does that matter!"

"The Blood Spirit Poison was just a camouflage, it was concealing the Lamenting Poison that was the real killing move! The Lamenting Poison is colourless so having the Blood Spirit Poison act as a camouflage was flawless."

Lamenting Poison?

What was the Lamenting Poison!

Li Changyun had never heard of it, so he forced himself to stay calm, coldly smiled and said, "Don't bluff, you only refined one bottle of poison from beginning to end."

"This is because the two poisons were refined in a refining array!"

Xiong Tianyan included, all the alchemists were completely shocked!

One refining bottle, one refining array, one set of ingredients, how could he refine two different poisons?

If Li Changyun's double refining could be referred to as advanced techniques, then Chu Tian's refining two different compounds at once was just never heard of before!

Chu Tian continued to say, "You used figs as one of the ingredients for your cure because that is one of the ways to cure the Blood Spirit Poison. However you didn't know that adding figs while detoxifies the Blood Spirit Poison, it actually strengthens the Lamenting Poison by ten times!"

Wh….What!"

Li Changyun started to swoon, his vision became fuzzy, and he could not stand up steadily!

"The Lamenting Poison is exhibiting its effects." Chu Tians calm voice echoed in his ear and then his voice sounded again, "Old fool! You've lost!"

Lost!

Li Changyun had lost!

Li Changyun was actually poisoned!

Alchemy technique that was marvelous and beyond the understanding of the average man.

The same materials in different proportions being refined in the same bottle, using the same refining technique. Without separating them into an order, Chu Tian refined both of them at the same time.

One is clearly visible!

The other was hidden!

The most fearful thing about Chu Tian was that he already knew what Li Changyun would use for his antidote, so through complex pharmacological effects, he made it so that it would enhance the effect of the poison!

"No, NO!"

"This isn't possible!"

Li Changyun crazily roared.

At this time, his vision was fuzzy, his brain was dizzy, he couldn't differentiate between north, south, east and west. In his ear, the sound was distorted, like a evil ghost wrapping around his body, sending out lamenting cries.

"Ignorant little child!"

"How could I possibly lose to you?"

Li Changyun was hysteric as he roared into the sky and a giant Python Source Spirit shot into the sky from behind him.

"I want you to die!"

The Python Source Spirit roared and released spirit energy, but before the moment before it could launch its attack.

"AH!"

Li Changyun pitifully called out and spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell straight down. The Python Source Spirit began to erode, as its body broke down cun (2.5 cm) by cun and in an instant it was reduced to mere ashes.

The Source Spirit was also wounded?

How did this happen!

Chu Tian just stood motionless in place because he had already predicted everything, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, the Lamenting Poison is a violent spiritual poison and not a fatal poison. But without treating it first, if you rashly use your source spirit, it will leave a scar on your source spirit permanently damaging it!"

Li Changyun fell to the ground, his face was white and he was slowly dying, "You, you….."

Powerful!

Really powerful!

Chu Tian was just playing around with an Awakened Soul Cultivator!

Nangong Yi clenched his fist excitedly, "Li Changyun has lost! According to the stakes, he is now exiled forever! Immediately carry it out!"

Li Changyun spat out a mouthful of blood.

He dead fainted.

Nangong Yi swept over everyone with an excited look, "In the domain of Alchemy, Chu tian can defeat the Alchemy Guild Chairman in one fell swoop, who can still say that he is a cheat that gained fame from deceiving people?!"

Can a conman beat a person like Li Changyun?

Isn't this a huge joke?

"Why are you all gawking? I am only a little thief that stole your technology, please properly punish me!" Chu Tian had a taunting expression, "Don't you still have two opportunities! Don't be scared, don't be frightened, feel free to use any method!"

Chu Tian with one person's strength.

Brazenly shouting at several large families!

Nangong Yun puffed in laughter, "Great! President's aggressive attitude, this old lady likes this kind of men! Hurry! Teach them all a lesson!"

The Nangong witch had a mouth without a lid, saying whatever she wanted to say.

Meng Qingwu and Meng Yingying couldn't bare to look at her.

Ye Family, Du Family, Luo Yuanshan, and Chu Yi, their expressions all became very ugly!

They faced Chu Tian by throwing ridicule and insults at him, but looking at this discussion, they started realizing a serious problem. This time they weren't aware of what Chu Tian was truly capable of, instead they lifted the stone only to smash in on their own feet!

Chu Tian loudly shouted, "What wrong? It's only a game! Are you already scared out of your wits?!"

"Stop being so wild! I'll come face you!" Luo Yuanshan was so angry that his face turned blue, "I'll compete in Symbol Arrangement with you!"

Going from competing in Alchemy to Symbol Arrangement?

Luo Yuanshan was very famous in the Main City for his skills in Symbol Arrangement, not any less than Zhang Liqing was in South Sky City. Luo Yuanshan did not believe that this little brat Chu Tian could be skilled in both Alchemy and Symbol Arrangement?

Once Zhang Liqing and Nangong Yun heard this.

Their faces broke out in smiles.

Competing in Symbol Arrangement? This fellow was really going to have a bad time!

Chu Tian stroked his chin, "This will be difficult, you are a person of Central State Main City so you don't have any property in South Sky City. So if I use my life to play with you, what can you give my in return?"

"You can win one game, but it was nothing more than a blind cat hitting a dead rat, don't be so sure it'll go your way this time. This time, you have no chance of winning!

Chu Tian shook his head, "That won't do, if you don't put up any stakes then I just won't compete?"

Luo Yuanshan clenched his teeth and took out a shining crystal card, "This card contains 500000 gold coins, more than enough to pay for your bastard life!"

"Not enough!" Chu Tian rolled his eyes, "I want the Du Family's model manufacturing plant!"

"What?" Du Zhentian was surprised, he never thought Chu Tian would think of this kind of idea, "My Du Family's property, how can a little thief like you think about it!"

The Du Family specialized in the weapons business.

Their factory was the most advanced in South Sky City!

This era was far behind, but simple three dimensional printing technology had already taken shape!

For example, to create a scabbard one just had to place the materials in the Source Energy Array and then after starting the array, the materials will start adjusting its shape and create a simple model.

This was the three dimensional printing technology!

In Chu Tian's time, from small precise parts, to large airships, they could all be made with the three dimensional printing technology. But in this time, they could only create simple models.

If Miracle Commerce had this factory.

They could increase the speed of their electric lamp production, every day they could make tens of thousands without any problems!

The three dimensional printing equipment in Du Zhentian's hand had a value of around 1 million gold coins, it could greatly compensate for Miracle Commerce's lack of funds!

Luo Yuanshan and Ye Xiong both knit their brows, this brat really dares to do whatever he wants!

Ye Xiong said, "Does brother Du not trust the capabilities of sir Luo?

Luo Yuanshan also said, "Relax, he will not have the opportunity!"

Du Zhentian was feeling a little regretful.

He wish he knew early about these turbid waters!

Du Family did not have that deep of a grudge with Chu Tian, but rather Du Zhentian feared that with Chu Tian's growth he would eventually interfere with the Du Family's business. Now that things were like this, he had not taken care of Chu Tian and had formed enmity with the Mayor, Zhang Liqing and Xiong Bing.

"Fine, I'll bet!"

Du Zhentian didn't have any other choice, he could only clench his teeth and agree.

Luo Yuanshan coldly looked at Chu Tian and said, "You know that Symbol Techniques are a very important supporting combat ability, how strong the kingdom's Symbol Techniques are decides the strength of its army. What I want to compare with you is the strength of our Symbol Techniques!"

This kind of remark!

Nangong Yun and Zhang Liqing's expressions became solemn.

Luo Yuanshan was really sly!

A Talisman's quality depended on its characteristics, like the effect, creativity, usability, manufacturing difficulty, consumption size, display difficulty, etc.

Luo Yuanshan wanted to abandon all of that.

He wanted to directly compete with Chu Tian in Symbol Techniques strength!

Could this even be compared?

Luo Yuanshan was already an Awakened Soul Cultivator so he could make level 2 Talismans, but Chu Tian was only a Body Refinement Cultivator so he could only make level 1 Talismans.

This was a heaven and earth difference!

Luo Yuanshan had an appearance like he just pulled a clever trick, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Chu Tian said without hesitation, "Isn't it just comparing the strength of our Symbol Techniques? Then I'll just compare with you!"

He really wanted to compete in strength?

With this kind of disparity, Chu Tian had no way to win!

After all overwhelming strength was hard to make up with just skill, several people were worried!

A variety of Symbol Arrangement ingredients were quickly delivered over.

The fight between Symbol Techniques immediately began!

Luo Yuanshan wasn't a well-known Symbol Technique Master in Central State for nothing, he held the crystal pen in his hand and in a single stroke incompleted a level 2 Symbol array on a piece of high level paper. A burning hot aura burst out, its formidable strength almost teared through the paper, each mark, each rune was full of wild strength.

Zhang Liqing face could not help turning pale after seeing this, "Level 2 exploding flames symbol!"

Nangong Yun also understood Symbol Techniques, "Isn't this the Talisman with the strongest destructive power out of all level 2 Talismans?"

Zhang Liqing solemnly nodded his head, "The exploding flames symbol is a famous Talisman, its strength is sufficient enough to break the might of an Awakened Soul Cultivator and can pose a fatal threat to them."

Nangong Yun was aggrieved, "This sinister fellow!"

This old thing already had an advantage in terms of cultivation, the difference between level 2 and level 1 was already disgraceful. Luo Yuanshan not only chose to use a level 2 Symbol Technique, he also chose to use the strongest on out of all level 2 Symbol Techniques.

How was this a contest?

The gap between cultivation realms was impossible to cross!

This is just like a Body Refinement Cultivator trying to duel with an Awakened Soul Cultivator!

Talisman level division is based on the ability of the Talisman to consume and release energy, in other words, the strongest level 1 Talisman was only comparable to the weakest level 2 Talisman in terms of energy.

This was the disparity!

The disparity that was hard to make up for!

Chu Tian could certainly distinguish that the type Talisman Luo Yuanshan refined, the exploding flames Talisman was a classic, even after several tens of thousands of years and improvements after improvements had been made, this Talisman still existed, it had not disappeared from the continent.

Its specialty was destructive power!

If both sides' strength were around the same, if Chu Tian wanted to win, it would be easy. However under the present conditions, if he wanted to win, it wasn't that easy a thing to accomplish.

Of course, it wasn't as if there were no methods.

In Chu Tian's mind he had thought of several ideas…..for example, he could use the "Dust Explosion Symbol". This was a dual attribute Talisman that can instantly creates a massive amount of dust and then it creates flames which causes an explosion that utilizes the dust to strengthen the effects of the explosion, resulting in astonishing destructive power. Or perhaps the "Laser Symbol", which compressed energy into a high density, it had a small area of effect, but its penetrating effect was strengthened and it was highly lethal…...

The Dust Explosion Symbol was good.

The Laser Symbol was also good.

Any of the future generations classic Talisman would cause a huge stir if they were used, but…...it wasn't shocking enough!

Chu Tian needed one that thoroughly shocked the audience and would allow him to win by a landslide, making sure that everyone was convinced, enough to make their eyeballs pop out.

Only if it was this thorough would people be convinced!

With a level 1 Symbol Array, could he achieve this kind of effect?

Chu Tian raised his head to look at the sky and suddenly he had a thought, "Good, I've decided, I'll just that then!"

Both sides prepared their Talismans.

Nangong Yi said, "This place is too crowded and not suitable for testing, let's move to a more open space!"

Chapter 57: Heavenly Thunder is billowing

The dark clouds hung over, the heavens and earth were gloomy, winds were raging, and there was a chilling atmosphere.

In the South Sky square, people were surging in, a sea of people could be seen as many residents had come to spectate. They had to witness this contest that could be considered a legend!

One was a seventeen year old mysterious youth.

The other was an Awakened Soul Cultivator, a heavy weight elder.

These two people were from completely different worlds, yet before everyone's eyes they had started an incredible contest!

Both sides were ready.

What would the results be?

Would this mysterious youth be able to resist being crushed by Luo Yuanshan and once again perform a miraculous counter attack?!

The contest area was around 200 meters in diameter with all bystanders evacuated to the sides, only Chu Tian and Luo Yuanshan stood inside, separated by 100 meters, staring at each other, both prepared.

Luo Yuanshan's clear voice said, "Do you want to go first, or should I?"

"I don't have any problems with my person, possess a righteous spirit, am brave and peace loving, and I respect my elders and cherish youths no matter what." Chu Tian indifferently shrugged, "So, as the elder, you should go first!"

Luo Yuanshan didn't bother being polite and calmly extracted his Talisman, holding it in the middle with two fingers, he tightly closed his eyes, the wind blew across his body and a wave of red Spirit Energy seeped out around him."

"Roar!"

A red lion figure, suddenly appeared behind Luo Yuanshan's back - The Berserk Flame Lion Source Spirit!

Luo Yuanshan's source spirit had a fire attribute which meant that when he uses fire attribute Symbol Techniques, it added even more power to it.

The Talisman absorbed the spirit energy like a sponge, the array lines began to glow red and the energy fluctuations began to grow stronger and stronger until it reached its critical point.

Chi!

A burning hot air spewed out!

The Talisman completely self-ignited.

"Exploding Flame Spell!" Luo Yuanshan wildly exclaimed, "Go!"

The ignited Talisman began to emit flames, a small fireball appeared in his hands, rotating at high speeds. It grew from fist size, to sink size, to water tank size, continuing to rotate at high speeds and stirring up the surrounding air.

Even the people standing in the distance.

Could still feel the burning air at this moment!

Luo Yuanshan's ten fingers continued to emit spirit energy that formed two Source Energy Arrays, stabilizing the giant fireball and holding onto the top and bottom of it.

At this moment, the fireball's strength was at its peak, it was like a small sun, bursting with light!

The crowd's face changed, an Awakened Soul Symbol Master's strength was truly terrifying!

"Do you see this? Overconfident little thing!" Luo Yuanshan wildly laughed, "This is the strength of an Awakened Soul Realm Cultivator! What can you use to compare with me!"

Suddenly!

Luo Yuanshan had a thought!

After Chu Tian beat Li Changyun, Nangong Yi already had a reason to protect him with, so even if he won this Symbol Technique contest, it wasn't a guarantee he could take him away.

Then why not just, directly use this explosion to kill him?

He had to die!

By any means!

"A little thief like you can think about challenging me?" Suddenly Luo Yuanshan threw the fireball right at Chu Tian, "You don't need to embarrass yourself, you can die right now!"

This move put everyone in a daze, this was clearly a competition of Symbol Techniques!

Luo Yuanshan did not care about the rules and directly used his Symbol Technique to attack Chu Tian!

A single Body Refinement Cultivator, how could he block an attack from an Awakened Soul Cultivator? Luo Yuanshan obviously wants to cause Chu Tian's death! It was simply murder, moreover everyone felt that it was despicable how he use a sneak attack to kill someone!

A dignified Awakened Soul Cultivator was sneak attacking a Body Refinement Cultivator!

"Not good!"

Nangong Yi and Zhang Liqing were both shocked.

Nangong Yi's source spirit was the Volcano Source Spirit, its destructive power was alarming to the point of being able to fight higher level people, but the Volcano Source Spirit was slow at gathering strength, it had no way to respond to this kind of situation.

Zhang Liqing released green spirit energy and changed into the majestic goshawk, with extreme speed, he soared into the sky and dived towards the fireball, grasping it in his hand.

"Bang!"

The fireball was grasped until it broke, a terrifying wave of flames burst forth, flooding out like a great flood. Facing the flame wave, Chu Tian's two eyebrows knit together and he clenched his fists, his whole body exuded a slight glow and his palms shot out a mighty push.

The next minute!

The flame wave completely submerged him!

"NO!" Meng Yingying called out in alarm, "Chu Tian!"

Meng Qingwu's face turned white and her beautiful eyes turned round.

Nangong Yun angrily stomped her foot, a phoenix cry sounded through the nine heavens as she shot up through the sky with a pair of phoenix wings on her back, she suddenly dropped like a meteor and attacked.

"Sinister old dog!"

"I need to kill you!"

Nangong Yun's fists fell like a violent storm, each fist contained ancient and arrogant strength, like a powerful meteor shower.

Luo Yuanshan complexion changed, the flame lion let out a roar and suddenly let out a punch forward.

Bang!

Both of them respectively took several steps back.

Luo Yuanshan showed shock, to repel Nangong Yun's fists, he felt that his vital energies were agitated. This trivial peak 9th layer Body Refinement girl, could unexpectedly rattle an Awakened Soul Realm Cultivator. She wasn't just surmounting a level, she was surmounting an entire realm!

Is this the strength of a God Level Source Spirit?

It is truly terrifying!

Nangong Yun wasn't an Awakened Soul Realm Cultivator, but she could fight with Awakened Soul Realm Cultivators!

Nangong Yi knit his brows, "Yun'er, stop it!"

Nangong Yi knew the extent of his daughter's strength, her direct power was not inferior to an Awakened Soul 1st layer cultivator, it might even surpass that. But the total amount of spirit energy that Body Refinement cultivators had was far less than an Awakened Soul cultivator, so fighting short term is fine, but if they are unable to immediately kill the enemy, they would eventually lose in the long run because they'll run out of spirit energy.

Nangong Yun stared with her phoenix eyes, "You also saw it! This bastard sneak attacked Chu Tian!"

Luo Yuanshan coldly said, "He would have lost anyway, I just sent him on his way a little early!"

"You're the one that deserves to die! I'll just deliver you on your way!"

Nangong Yi shouted, "Chu Tian is fine!"

A flash of thunder flashed in the sky and the sound shook the earth, they could only see the rain water fall down. The place where the fire ball had exploded left a giant pit, surrounded by scattered flames.

"Cough, cough!"

Chu Tian's head was covered in ashes as he crawled out of the pit, his clothes were charred black and his handsome face was completely black. His eyes in contrast were shining bright like the morning star.

He smiled with his black face, revealing a set snow of white teeth, "I never thought before that you actually cared about me that much!"

"No way! You didn't die? Your life force is truly stubborn!" Nangong Yun let out a breath of relief and patted her chest to calm down, "You scared me to death, it doesn't matter if you die, but if you did, where would I get my pay check from from now on!"

Fuck, the sentiment was actually self sentiment!

Luo Yuanshan's sudden sneak attack was truly dangerous, but in the crucial moments, Zhang Liqing had destroyed the fire ball, letting it burst early.

Chu Tian had practiced the Starlight Immortal body which greatly increased his defensive capabilities, so he could resist the strong backlash. Although he had some wounds, they weren't life threatening.

Nangong Yi's voice became ice cold, "Luo Elder is a member of the supervising palace, yet would commit such a despicable act. From my point of view, I don't think there is any need for this competition to continue."

The crowd all nodded their heads.

One by one they all started whispering to each other.

That's right, Luo Yuanshan had acted like a villain!

Since these group of fellows had proven that they're nothing but villains, what was the point of competing still? Chu Tian had already proved himself, no one believed the slanders against him anymore.

"Sir Mayor, we can't do that!" Chu Tian suddenly shouted to interrupt, "This old dog harmed me quite a bit, it isn't my style to not get repayment for this debt."

With great difficulty Nangong Yi had found a way out for him, but this little brat did not appreciate it, he was simply impossible for people to understand, "You still want to compete? Did you brain break!"

Isn't this nonsense?

Compete, he had to compete!

500000 gold coins and a factory worth 1 million gold coins, if these golden geese flew away, then it would be hard for you to compensate me!

Chu Tian stared at Luo Yuanshan, "You used your Symbol Technique to attack me once, so I'll use my Symbol Technique to attack you once, you won't oppose that right?"

Luo Yuanshan disdainfully smiled, "Relying on you? What a joke! I really want to see, what methods you have that can hurt me!"

"Then open your eyes and look well!"

Chu Tian grasped the Talisman, both hands injecting spirit energy!

Most of the spirit energy poured into the centre of the Talisman.

Fizzle!

The Talisman gradually activated, faint electric arcs shot out.

Everyone looked on with amazement, it couldn't be a thunder and lightning attribute talisman right?

Chu Tian waves his hand, the Talisman flew high in the sky, from it bursted out purplish red lightning, with unbelievable speed, suddenly headed for Luo Yuanshan.

It was really thunder attributed?

This rare attributed Talisman, only certain people in Central State could manufacture this. They never thought that Chu Tian would be able to create this kind of Talisman!

Bang!

The lightning and thunder hit Luo Yuanshan.

"Ha, ha, ha…." Luo Yuanshan's body was covered in thunder sparks, but regardless of how the thunder spread, it was unable to penetrate his spirit energy shield, "A rare attributed Talisman, of course it would have a strong attack! This strength is just like a level 1 Talisman, with such basic Symbol Techniques, you actually think you can beat me?"

Chu Tian stood unmoving as he began to count down, "Ten, nine, eight….."

Luo Yuanshan was surprised, he found that the surrounding electric arcs were not dissipating, but rather moving to form a faint complex rune!

What was happening?

Although it wasn't very strong.

This phenomenon was very strange!

"...Three, two, one!"

Chu Tian had finished counting.

"Wah!"

"What is that?"

"You guys look at the sky!"

"..."

The crowd erupted with screams.

Luo Yuanshan looked up, an old bald face was reflecting blue and white light. He did not know when, but the clouds above Luo Yuanshan's head unexpectedly had accumulated a large amount of thunder.

Natural thunder and lightning!

The strength of heavenly thunder, its might could not be measured!

Luo Yuanshan felt his body lock up in terror, a sense of fear filled his soul and covered Luo Yuanshan's body.

"No…..NO!"

Luo Yuanshan finally reacted!

Can he run?

There wasn't enough time!

A bolt of thunder had finished gathering and fell from the sky, carrying out the will of the heavens and earth, directly struck right in the square, accurately falling on Luo Yuanshan's body.

The spirit energy shield, was blown away with one hit, just like paper!

"Rumbling!"

The heavenly thunder had cleaved the earth.

Luo Yuanshan's body had been split to pieces!

Nangong Yi had an amazed expression, Luo Yuanshan was split to death by thunder, he actually got split apart by thunder!

Chu Tian looked at the broken corpse on the ground and coldly said, "The Guiding Thunder Talisman is a level 1 Talisman, by itself it is not strong, but it can attract heavenly thunder. I had no intentions to kill anyone, you only have yourself to blame!"

Ye Xiong and Du Zhentian were paralyzed with fear!

Chu Tian could unexpectedly summon heavenly thunder!

How was this possible?

Heavenly thunder was a great power, even a top Awakened Soul cultivator could not freely control it. But Chu Tian could do it, he summoned the heavenly thunder and used it to kill Luo Yuanshan!

Chu Tian's gaze swept over the crowd, "Whoever dares to annoy me, I'll go to your house and place a dozen Guiding Thunder Symbols there, letting him have a taste of the heavenly thunder! Today's idiot could be your group of idiots tomorrow!"

Overbearing! Crazy!

Shameless threats!

Everyone was absolutely terrified!

Don't even mention a dozen heavenly thunder strikes, just one was enough to destroy them!

Actually Chu Tian was just scaring them, the effects of the level 1 Guiding Thunder Talisman was astonishing, but it could not be freely used. It could only be used during a thunderstorm and it could only bring together one thunder strike.

The thunder also struck at a set location.

Actually if Luo Yuanshan reacted a bit faster and left the area a bit sooner, he wouldn't have been killed by the thunder strike!

But how could these people think of these things?

Right now they were all terrified!

Chapter 58: Competing in martial arts

Chu Tian beating Li Changyun was only enough to shock everyone. Using the level 1 talisman to kill an Awakened Soul cultivator was enough to terrify everyone.

Was he even human?

He was simply a terrifying monster!

A trivial Body Refinement cultivator, a trivial level 1 Talisman could actually capture thunder and use it create such a resounding effect!

Under the cover of heavenly prestige, everyone present was terrified from the bottom of their heart.

Even Nangong Yi with the highest cultivation, could not help but shiver slightly, from his soul, gushed a chill. If the heavenly thunder was aimed at him, he was afraid even he couldn't escape being killed on the spot!

Luo Yuanshan had died!

A Central State Judicial Elder had died like that!

The minute before the god of death had arrived, Luo Yuanshan had felt regret. For an ordinary family junior, for a little greed, he had lost his life for it!

Ye Xiong expression was complex, a little panic-stricken and a little angry.

Although he made the highest estimates, although he feared Chu Tian as much as possible, even with the joint power of four families, using the the greatest strength and resources to deal with him.

The results were not what they expected.

He had still underestimate Chu Tian!

Du Zhentian was pale with a look of despair, every side was met with defeat, he finally realized he had made a huge mistake!

The family's factory worth 1 million gold coins, was unexpectedly lost!

Chu Tian calmly said, "Shouldn't Sir Mayor say a few sentences?"

Nangong Yi seemed to be awakening from a dream and smiled bitterly, "There's nothing to say about this outcome, in the contest of Symbol Technique, Chu Tian wins without a doubt!"

Bang!

The crowd burst with intense emotions!

Everyone finally recovered from the panic and shock.

"I wasn't dreaming just now right!"

"Why did the heavenly thunder strike the square?"

"Right, that Awakened Soul master from Central State was unexpectedly split apart!"

"He got what he deserved! That is called heavenly retribution! Who told him to come to South Sky City and slander South Sky City's talents!"

"That's right! Chu Tian is a once in a thousand year genius, soon our South Sky City will become famous!"

"..."

When Chu Tian defeated Li Changyun, the level of technique was too complicated, the crowd couldn't understand.

This time's Symbol Technique competition was an open display, even idiots could understand it. Chu Tian Guiding Thunder Symbol's might was 10 times stronger than Luo Yuanshan's Exploding Flame Symbol!

A single glance was enough to make it clear.

Was there a need to compete?

Those that claimed Chu Tian stole their technology, were nothing but blind dogs. In the whole kingdom, who could display this kind of might with just a level 1 Talisman, so decisively win a contest?

Only Chu Tian could do it!

With this kind of talent, even though he wasn't famous now, soon there would be a day where he would go to the Main City, even go to the Imperial City and become one of the top characters of the kingdom!

Would he steal technology?

It was simply shameless slander!

The people who once envied Chu Tian, their hearts had completely changed. They no longer envied him, but rather what remained was respect and worship!

Because a poor beggar will only envy a rich beggar, they would not envy a billionaire, the two were not in the same world!

Meng Yingying and Meng Qingwu also had mixed feelings, they felt a little lost.

It wasn't that Chu Tian wasn't strong, he was too strong, too outstanding!

Zhang Liqing's old face was flushed, his eyes full of reverence, like a pilgrim seeing an object of god, "What is this wonderful technology ah! If this old man can learn even 1% of Chu Tian's knowledge, I would have no regrets in life!"

Chu Tian slowly let out two breathes, "Two chances have finished, you only have one chance left. Arrays, refining, or any other methods, as long as you beat me once, my commitment is still valid!"

Ye Xiong's face darkened, he couldn't think of any methods to deal with Chu Tian.

Chu Yi face was full of astonishment and panic, how did Chu Tian change this much? He looked the same, but was basically a completely different person!

It was simply a monster in Chu Tian's skin!

This person was too terrifying!

If he lived, once he returned to the Chu Family, he might even get an important position. At that time Chu Yi would be in trouble and even his branch would be implicated.

Chu Tian had to die!

This person can't live to see Central State!

Despite Chu Tian's achievements in the field of productions, his cultivation is still very weak. He had already been injured by Luo Yuanshan's Exploding Flame Talisman and he had used more that half his spirit energy in activating the Guiding Thunder Talisman, right now he was very weak.

"The third game!"

"Let me compete!"

"I want to compare martial arts with you!"

The person talking was Chu Yi!

Li Changyun representing the Ye Family, disastrous defeat!

Luo Yuanshan representing the Luo Family, disastrous defeat!

Two Awakened Soul grand masters had both been defeated, why did Chu Yi still dare to challenge Chu Tian?

Who would know that Chu Yi's right hand pulled out a three foot long sword, grasping the Cyan Tipped Sword in his hand, he pointed it at Chu Tian and exclaimed with an angry glare, "Chu Tian if you are a man, then accept my challenge!"

"These kinds of words you've just said!" Nangong Yun said with a face of disgust, "I've never seen such a shameless person before!"

Meng Qingwu also walked out, "You claimed that Chu Tian stole your technology, so Chu Tian gave you three chances to prove it. You first lost in Alchemy, then in Symbol Arrangement, and now you want to propose a martial arts contest? Let me ask you, what relations do martial arts have with the Source Energy pot technology, doing this kind of thing, aren't you pushing it?"

Meng Yingying fiercely denounced, "Bastard! You just want to bully Chu Tian because his cultivation is lower! Moreover Chu Tian has already exhausted his spirit energy and is injured, this is clearly taking advantage of someone, what kind of challenge is this!"

"That's right!"

"I never thought that the dignified Chu Family junior, would be so shameless!"

"..."

The crowd started to voice their opposition, they had turned their backs against them.

Chu Yi's underhanded methods, made people feel disgust.

He was clearly using the rebelling against the Chu Family reason as an excuse to steal the technology!

The situation now, the rebelling against the clan situation was fuzzy, they couldn't win against their opponents, so they were relying on force now? Isn't this one huge joke!"

This contest was already completely meaningless!

Ye Xiong walked out and said, "Chu Tian already proclaimed he would accept any kind of challenge, Alchemy and Symbol Arrangements are methods of competition, but isn't martial arts one too? The Chu Family's Young Master wants to ask Chu Tian to compare notes, no tricks, is this not allowed?

Letting Chu Tian bring shame and ruin upon himself was no longer possible!

This matter had already gone out of their control!

Death!

The only wanted him dead!

Nothing else was important!

If such a monstrous talent was allowed to grow, then the consequences would be dire!

Ye Xiong wanted to personally make a move, but with his position, if he made a move, Nangong Yi would not sit there and let him.

The only person who had the opportunity to kill Chu Tian was Chu Yi!

Chu Yi was not Central State Chu Family's most outstanding talent, but he could still be considered in the top ten. He had already awakened his source spirit and practiced the Chu Family's inherited cultivation technique《Soul Sword Secret Art》!

This《Soul Sword Secret Art》was said to be a remnant of an ancient cultivation technique, it was considered a priceless treasure Central State City and it was the lifeblood of the Chu Family.

Chu Yi's《Soul Sword Secret Art》was already at the small success stage, so its might was not small!

Chu Yi continued pointing the sword in provocation, "What's wrong, with things like this, are you scared?"

Chu Tian disdainfully smiled, "You and I are peers, if you challenge me, what do I have to fear? Come at me and let me see the Chu Family's martial art, let's see what's so special about it!"

He actually accepted!

"As you wish!" Chu Yi fiendishly grinned, his body emitted a strong killing intent, holding the sword to the sky and shouted upwards, "Sword!"

At that moment.

Chu Yi started to burst out with incomparable strength.

This strength was sharp as a knife and wide as an ocean, white spirit energy shot up into the sky and formed the shape of a green treasured sword.

A spirit energy sword!

The Chu Family was a famous sword cultivation family, in the family most people had a sword based source spirit. The sword source spirit had a strong strength and compared with the Chu Family's《Soul Sword Secret Art》, they could easily sweep through cultivators of the same level!

Of course, even though the sword source spirit were similar, not everyone was alike.

Chu Yi had not officially entered the Awakened Soul Realm so his source spirit had not completely awaked, only a green sword outline could be faintly seen.

Green colour represented wind!

It was a wind attributed source spirit!

The characteristics of the wind attribute was quick and sharp!

"Soul Sword Secret Art - Whirlwind Slash!"

The corners of Chu Yi's mouth turned into a sneer, the sword source spirit had fused with the sword in his hand and began to emit numerous green sword qi, which turned into a whirlwind of green sword qi.

"How powerful!"

"So this is the Chu Family's sword technique!"

With Chu Yi's single move, everyone could not help but stare in amazement, the sword source spirit and sword had fused, creating a whirlwind of sword qi, moving to kill the enemy and perfectly protects oneself, simply impregnable!

The Chu Family sword techniques, truly lived up to its name!

Could Chu Tian block this kind of attack?

Several days ago, at the summit, Chu Tian was only at the peak of the 6th Body Refinement Layer, although he showed great battle strength, but facing a master like Chu Yi, he would definitely fall in one move!

Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and without moving he started to emit spirit energy which covered his entire body.

Everyone was surprised to discover, Chu Tian's body began to glow.

It was not bright like the sun, or mellow like the moon. Twinkling star, just like the starry night, gentle and intense, deep and mysterious, it soon covered his entire body. Like a protective film, it looked like a layer of stars were woven into his clothes.

"It's the Starlight Immortal Body!"

Meng Qingwu, Nangong Yun, and everyone else immediately recognized it.

Did Chu Tian want to use the Starlight Immortal Body to resist the Chu Family's sword techniques?

The Starlight Immortal body had only been practiced for a few days, it hadn't even reached the small success boundary yet!

Chu Yi's Soul Sword Secret Art had been practiced torturously for several years, and with his peak 9th Body Refinement cultivation, and his inherited family source spirit, all combined into a single technique.

Could he block it?

Remember, the essence of the immortal body, is not to fight." Chu Tian shrouded in starlight, looked just like a deity, "Endlessly, endlessly, the starlight is inexhaustible, even if the opponent's strength is strong. As you will it, your heart directs it, regardless of the attack, it will instantly form the strongest defense."

He was actually still teaching them!

He didn't even put Chu Yi into his sight!

While Chu Tian was talking, the injury from Luo Yuanshan's sneak attack, was slowly starting to heal.

The Starlight Immortal Body was curing the injury!

Chu Yi was extremely angry, "Trying to embarrass me? Go and die!"

The arc like whirlwind of sword qi, suddenly the dust around was raised by an invisible force and the sword qi transformed into a large arc. With the full strength of the whirlwind, it sliced towards Chu Tian.

This sword's might!

Even Awakened Soul cultivators would find it hard to use their spirit energy to defend!

Moreover, Chu Tian was only in the Body Refinement realm!

Facing this formidable attack, Chu Tian did not dodge or fall back, with both his arms shooting forth, he unexpectedly wanted to catch the sword qi with his hands.

Hiss!

Everyone was scared!

Using bare hands to catch sword qi?

Wasn't this seeking death!

The minute Chu Tian's hands grabbed the sword qi, the star energy covering his body began to converge in his hands, his hands became bright and translucent like the surface was covered with a coloured glaze.

The blue star light power, began to seep into the white sword qi, turning the white sword qi into a blue colour.

Snap!

Just like a piece of glass!

The sword qi shattered apart, turning into twinkling starlight, floating off into the wind.

"Don't move the body, only use your intent, the intent will guard the body becoming a godly defense!" Chu Tian's body was still covered in the glow as he calmly explained, "The main strength of the Starlight Immortal Body is decomposition, but it doesn't forcefully resist, it melts opposing force invisibly!"

Meng Qingwu, Meng Yingying, Nangong Yun and everyone else all seemed to be lost in thought.

This was the might of the Starlight Immortal Body?

Chapter 59: Standing still to let you chop

Even if it was an Awakened Soul cultivator, they would still be reduced to flesh and blood, let alone a Body Refinement cultivator?

Chu Yi's sword, was not a common sword, adding in the strength of his source spirit, the sword qi slashed out, strong as galing wind, fast as lightning, it could even easily cut iron and gold!

Perhaps Chu Tian's body was stronger than steel?

Nangong Yi could see through it, Chu Tian practiced a high class defense cultivation technique. He did not need to control his spirit energy, once he invokes it, the spirit energy would transform and instantly turn into starlight that would protect the body from harm!

This cultivation technique shocked everyone, without moving, just having the intent, the intent will protect the body, absolutely impregnable!

Before their spirit energy depletes, they can emit starlight and sweep through same level cultivators by ignoring their attacks, the best life preserving cultivation technique!

Chu Yi's eyes burned red, "Sure enough, this cultivation technique is not inferior to complete ancient technique. You've encountered a fortuitous chance and obtained this ancient inheritance."

This wasn't exactly right.

It wasn't an ancient inheritance, it was an inheritance from the future.

"I acknowledge the fact that I've underestimate you, with this cultivation technique on your body, you have the qualifications to challenge me." Chu Yi's breathing gradually increased and his eyes filled with envy. "But, you still aren't my opponent! That last attack only contained 30-40% of my strength, if I attacked for real, you would be dead!"

Such a strong sword!

It was only 30-40% of his strength?

Chu Yi had been taught by several Awakened Soul Cultivators since he was young, using the best ingredients to build his base, practicing the strongest cultivation technique in the family, and promoting his strength with the best resources. A person being trained like this, could he still be weak?

Chu Tian's mouth cracked into a smile, "Hearing you say this I'm actually relieved! Actually I only used 10% of my defensive strength!"

"You stubborn fool! Stop putting up such foolish resistance!" Chu Yi's face was full of greed, "Give me everything you have and waste your cultivation, then I won't kill you!"

Chu Tian teased him with dirty words, "How embarrassing, if you want to kill me then kill me, please don't hold it in, what if you hold it in too hard and get sick? Come, please kill me!"

"You brought this upon yourself!" Chu Yi's eyes turned red again as if bursting with anger, he faced up and shouted, "Sword!"

A fuzzy green shadow of a sword appeared behind him, a boundless aura was emitted that made Chu Tian feel a strong might.

Indeed!

This person had some skills!

This was the difference between big and small cities, or the difference between having resources and not having resources.

Comparing big city cultivators with small city cultivators, bigger cities had more resources and relationships, so the quality of cultivators from there was much higher than small cities.

Chu Yi could not compare with Nangong Yun.

He would be around the same level as Xiong Tianyan!

Although Chu Yi didn't use his full strength, the strength of the spirit energy Chu Tian displayed was already equal to the 9th Body Refinement layer, that strange and tyrannical cultivation technique covering him was able to block the Chu Family's sword techniques!

The inherited ancient technique was the best, he had to prepare for the worst case scenario. He had to at least kill Chu Tian, or else he would become a problem in the future!

Chu Yi had a strong intuition.

If the did not kill him this time, then there wouldn't be another chance!

"Soul Sword Secret Art!" The sword source spirit lit up and Chu Yi shot out a dozen sword qi at an incredible rate, forming a small storm of sword qi, "Storm Wind Style!"

Fast!

Too fast!

Chu Tian entered into hyper focus and quickly started to evade. Dodging most of the sword qi, but still 34 had hit his body.

Starlight protecting the body!

The minute each sword qi hit, they instantly burst into starlight.

So close!

Everyone was worried!

If Chu Tian had not practiced the Starlight Immortal Body, even if the sword qi slashes had not killed him, they would still have injured him.

The Starlight Immortal Body could stop attacks, but it consumed large amounts of spirit energy. Chu Tian from the start was not in his best condition and his cultivation was only at the peak 8th Body Refinement layer, how could his total spirit energy compare with Chu Yi's peak 9th Body Refinement layer cultivation!

"Ha, ha, ha!"

"You are nothing!"

"I haven't used my special technique yet!"

"It would be easy if I wanted to kill you, easy as pie!"

Chu Yi wildly laughed as he fiercely attacked, Chu Tian was obviously at a disadvantage.

"Taste this move of mine!"

"Soul Sword Secret Art! Cloud Sweeping Whirlwind!"

The sword source spirit released a strong green glow and broke apart, the countless green lights released from the breakdown process gathered around Chu Yi's body to form a whirlwind.

"Kill!"

Chu Yi stood in the eye of the storm and threw the whirlwind at Chu Tian.

The high rotation sword qi was like a meat grinder, tearing wildly at the starlight covering Chu Tian's body, everyone could see that the starlight slowly began to dim!

Chu Tian's body protecting starlight was already extremely weakened!

"You've defended against me twice. The Soul Sword Secret Art is the strongest cultivation technique in Central State, you competing against me, you have no way to win! I'll give you one last chance! Submit or die!"

This brat really had this much nonsense to say?

"Are you done talking?!"

Chu Tian felt very impatient, he suddenly stopped dodging. Just like a javelin, standing straight in the ground, "This little strength! Aren't you embarrassed saying you want to kill me?"

"You think you're some kind of master?"

"You think the Chu Family cultivation technique is that glorious?"

"You think that your Chu Family's cultivation technique is the strongest technique in Central State?"

"Actually in my eyes, it ain't worth shit. Your Chu Family's sword techniques, can't even compare to a monkey swinging a stick!"

"You think I can't kill you?" Chu Yi was extremely angered, if not for obtaining the cultivation technique, he would have already split him apart. After being provoked for so long, his patience had reached its limit!

Chu Yi gripped the sword with both hands, the sword was covered with a dark red layer, like a flame flying through the sky, "To kill you, one swing is enough!"

Such strong sword qi!

Such imposing manner!

As if it was able to break through everything!

Chu Tian disregarded the vigorous sword qi in front of him, his eyes flashed a sharp glint, every one of his words fell as heavily as a gold bar and he fiercely laughed, "Ha, ha, ha, ha! This is your so called secret skill? Good! I'll give you a chance! Old me will stand here and let you cut him once!"

The audience was scared!

Standing still to let him chop? How arrogant!

While Chu Tian was talking the starlight suddenly increased in splendor, rising again to cover his body. At this time, Chu Yi was holding a long ranged sword attack, a great pressure covered Chu Tian's body.

This move again?

Chu Yi coldly laughed in his heart!

After a series of probing attempts, Chu Yi had already grasped the strength of the starlight!

Sword user, sincerity was strength, this was the key of the Soul Sword Secret Art!

Chu Yi was confident, his sword would cut through. With the power of his faith, this one move would become even stronger!

Over the years, he had fought with many geniuses!

Under same level circumstances, who could block this attack and withdraw with his body intact? What kind of thing was Chu Tian? A trivial 8th Body Refinement Cultivator!

Die!

Die!

Chu Yi shot out all his strength.

The minute the red glow almost came in contact with his body, Chu Tian's starlight suddenly gathered, just like glittering translucent glass, it uniformly covered his entire body.

Chu Tian exclaimed , "Scram!"

The sword qi surged to cut!

The ground split inch by inch!

A resounding sound rang out!

The treasured sword cracked!

Instead Chu Yi was launched back about 10 meters!

The sword broke?

The shocking sword attack had not taken Chu Tian's life, but instead the sword had broken!

Meng Qingwu, Meng Yingying, Nangong Yun, Xiong Tianyan, and Zhang Liqing all showed an excited expression, was this the strength of the Starlight Immortal Body?

Such abnormal defensive power!

Although they already knew the cultivation technique Chu Tian taught them was not weak, they never thought its strength would be so formidable!

Chu Tian let out a long breath, "The Chu Family's secret sword art, is only so so."

The transparent layer gathered around his body, like glittering starlight crystals, slowly started to disperse!

On this topic, he truly had to thank Chu Yi, if not for his help, Chu Tian would never have reached gained knowledge on the Glass Body Realm. Currently Chu Tian had not reached the small achievement realm, but he was not far off.

The residual sword qi in the area, all disappeared. The starlight covered Chu Tian, looked like a formidable deity.

He let Chu Yi feel despair!

He lost!

He had also lost!

Chu Yi's peak 9th Layer Body Refinement cultivation, adding in the Chu Family's《Soul Sword Secret Art》, he still could not defeat a single injured Chu Tian!

Chu Yi's full strength sword swing, upon hitting Chu Tian's body, his treasured sword was the one that broke!

There was a huge disparity in the strength of both sides!

It was almost impossible to imagine!

Chu Tian held his hands behind his back and coldly said, "The three opportunities have passed, do you have anything else to say?"

Chu Yi was angry out of shame, "Go die!"

Chu Yi suddenly sprang, from his hands he threw 4-5 Talismans, each Talisman was inscribed with a different symbol. Wind blade, fire ball, poison cloud, all shot towards Chu Tian.

Chu Yi also seized the opportunity to draw a dagger.

This dagger's edge was completely green, it clearly was a poisonous weapon. Like a sinister poisonous snake, it fiercely pierced toward Chu Tian's chest.

Countless sword qi condensed together to form a large sword above.

A single collective sword qi shot forward!

Just like an abnormal phenomenon!

Chu Tian felt a strong sense of crisis, this sword was clearly more lethal, the short period of Glass Body had already completely drained Chu Tian's spirit energy, Chu Tian had no method of defending against something of this intensity again!

If this strike went through, Chu Tian would be in danger!

Everyone started to loudly curse.

What Chu Yi was doing was too despicable!

He couldn't win against Chu Tian, so he had decided to rely on underhanded tricks!

"Too slow!"

Chu Tian opened his Mind's Eye, clearly seeing the distribution of spirit energy on Chu Yi's body. With a pair of pincer like claws, he gripped onto Chu Yi's arm, holding onto the spirit energy's weak points. His ten fingers shot out spirit energy sealing the meridians in the arm and then forcefully twisted.

Kacha!

Chu Yi's right arm broke and he sent out a pitiful and sad cry, "You win! You win! I admit defeat!"

Chu Tian coldly said, "Don't you think admitting defeat now is a little too late?"

"I am the fourth elder's son! You dare to kill me?"

Chu Tian raised the green dagger and stabbed directly into Chu Yi's heart.

Chu Yi eyes were still staring as he fell backwards. Twitching a few times before he stopped moving.

Dead!

Chapter 60: A large harves

The area was dead silent, countless gazes stared at Chu Tian, everything else in the world disappeared, only this miracle youth remained!

Li Changyun was half crippled and expelled!

Luo Yuanshan was struck by lightning and killed!

Chu Yi was killed by Chu Tian on the spot!

Three fights three victories, crisp wins and no suspense, each win was also unexpected!

Every competition, no one believed in Chu Tian.

Every outcome, shocked everyone present!

Chu Tian was crazy, he was so crazy no one could break him, no one could solve him, how many people in this world could achieve this? This was a genuine talented youth! This was a hot blooded man!

A person that was crazy to this extent, he could no longer be called arrogant.

It was self confidence, a strong undefeatable self confidence!

Would a dragon flying through the nine heavens be humble to ants?

Ye Xiong spread the news through the town to try to get the public's support, dragging Chu Tian into hell, forever bringing shame upon himself, forever drowning in ten thousand people's hate.

Who knew he would be lifting a large stone to drop on his own foot!

Everyone now knew the Ye Family's true colours.

Ye Xiong actually brought shame and ruin upon himself!

Nangong Yi found it hard to keep in his excitement as he announced for everyone, "Chu Tian is a genius of our South Sky City! Who dares call Chu Tian incompetent! Who dares insult Chu Tian's birth! Who dares slander Chu Tian!"

"Chu Tian!"

"Chu Tian!"

"Those that slander Chu Tian, they will suffer what they deserve!"

Everyone seemed to have been infected by pride as they loudly shouted out, their cries were like a tsunami.

Nangong Yi let out a disgusted breath as he glowered at the crowd and said, "What kind of people are you? Weren't you just screaming that you wanted to cut Chu Tian into a thousand pieces? You still dare say this kind of things!"

Finished!

Completely finished!

Once again they were completely defeated!

Du Zhentian had a very awkward expression, after thinking for a few minutes, he suddenly seemed to have made a decision and stood up to walk away.

Chu Tian saw him walking away and coldly smiled as he asked, "Family Head Du Zhentian does not seemed convinced, so does he want to challenge me again?"

Stop joking!

Learning from other's mistake wasn't miserable enough?

One brought shame and ruin upon himself, was half crippled and expelled from the city. Another one was killed on the spot, without even a complete corpse left behind. The last one had an overwhelming advantage, but was hit with Chu Tian's counterattack and died with regret!

Was this not a painful enough lesson?

Did he have to go through it again?

Moreover, the three competitions were over, even if he won against Chu Tian now, did it mean anything? Chu Tian with his own power, completely turned the tide, and overwhelmingly counterattacked them.

Du Zhentian felt as if his face had been fiercely slapped!

He had already became a pig head!

His prestige had fell on the floor!

He had lost all his face!

This was a serious loss!

He had become a small villain who framed a genius!

If he knew about this earlier, even if you killed him, Du Zhentian would not have entered these turbid waters!

"Young master Chu…...You've completely misunderstood!" Du Zhentian was the rudder guiding the Du Family, his skin had to be thick, the Du Family did not have a backer, they did have a main family in Central State like the Ye Family!

They could not fight anymore!

They truly could not fight like this anymore!

Du Zhentian endured his pain as he took out a contract book, "Young master Chu is truly a god given talent, he stole this from others? It was Du that was mislead by these people's evil words, he believed this lie and had eyes but could not see your excellence. In order to apologize, this is the contract book for my Du Family's mold printing factory, I ask young master Chu to accept it!"

This contract book for a factory worth 1000000 gold coins was meekly handed over!

This was simply cutting into the meat!

Du Zhentian just two days ago had a sinister face as he discussed how to get rid of Chu Tian with Ye Xiong. Now it was good, his face had changed as he openly admitted defeat to Chu Tian.

This was an expert submitting!

He was also forced to do so.

"Du Family head's memory is not so good, this factory was something that I won! It already belonged to me! Fuck you for taking my belonging and using it to apologize to me, there is not a single person in this world that's like you!"

"This, this……"

Du Zhentian had an awkward expression.

"When we were on the summit arena, you tried to hack me in half, this matter I hope sir Du has not forgotten?" Chu Tian snorted and said, "With my temperament, those that want to kill me, I won't let them live."

"If you have words, nicely say them!" Du Zhentian wiped away his sweat, "Du will clear up the misunderstanding with the media personally and I will compensate for young master Chu's lost prestige. I will prepare a generous gift and visit Miracle Commerce to apologize, is that good enough?"

"Not enough!"

"Du is willing to give up all his personal property to make up for his mistakes!"

This Du Zhentian truly had courage!

Chu Tian could not help but be impressed.

Instead of an extra enemy he prefered having one less and he was getting a bargain out of it!

"Alright, since you are so sincere, I won't argue with you! But if you let me discover you stepping out of bounds even a little, then I will be ruthless!"

Du Zhentian nodded his head, "I don't dare, I don't dare!"

The Du Family was still one of the large families of South Sky City, but now they were no different that an obedient grandson!

Ye Xiong could no longer tolerate it as he said, "Du Zhentian, do you not want face anymore!"

"The Du Family is only a small family, we can't compare to the large influence of the Ye Family." Du Zhentian let out a long sigh and he coldly looked at Ye Xiong, although he had resentment for Chu Tian, if it wasn't for this fellow to instigate him, he would not have participated in this matter today. Today the losses of the Du Family were all caused by this idiot, "I hope you change before it's too late, stop pursuing this foolish matter!"

The Ye Family was isolated and cut off from help.

"Leave!"

Ye Xiong whipped his sleeve as he angrily left.

The farce that disturbed the entire city, the curtains had finally dropped.

Ye Xiong collaborated with 3 large families, but he still couldn't do anything to Chu Tian. Instead he helped raise Chu Tian's prestige and gave him many benefits!

Li Changyun had abdicated.

The Alchemy Master Guild Chairman position, the only qualified person left was Xiong Tianyan!

Chu Tian had gained 500000 gold coins and a well equipped factory, and the entire fortune of Du Zhentian!

This, Du Zhentian hurriedly leaving was to remove all the valuable things as fast as possible!

Would Chu Tian this kind of time?

Du Zhentian had only returned, he did not have the time to move anything yet. Chu Tian had already brought Nangong Yun and Zhang Liqing to immediately confiscate his family's property!

There was no choice.

He could only give up!

Chu Tian had sent Meng Yingying, Meng Qingwu, Nangong Yun and Xiong Tianyan, "Carefully search through these houses, as long as you discover anything valuable, even if it is a chamber pot, bring it to me!"

They were excited as the passionately started the big search.

Du Zhentian's mansion was turned upside down!

In the end, the only things of value were Crystal Stones, Beast Cores, liquid medicine, and pills, the total valuation was several hundred thousand gold coins. There were also several crystal stone cards with gold coins deposited, the deposited cash was as high as several hundred thousand!

These were easily convertible assets, the total calculation for it, there was around 1000000 gold coins!

What did 1000000 coins count for?

Southern Cloud Commerce's entire assets did not even add up to that much money!

And there were still the rare treasures, luxury goods, etc. The value was a bad estimate and it definitely wouldn't be lower.

Xiong Tianyan excitedly walked out, "Three Lives Demonic Insects! Three Lives Demonic Insects! We unexpectedly uncovered 200 Three Lives Demonic Insects!

Three Lives Demonic Insects?

Wasn't this the main ingredient for refining Qi Training Pills?

This medicine was incredibly rare, there were only a few that appeared in the South Sky City market, but they had unexpectedly uncovered several hundred in the Du Family manor.

Chu Tian was very satisfied, "With these Three Lives Demonic Insects, we can refine several hundred Qi Training Pills, perfect for when we open Southern Cloud Medicine Shop! Lao Xiong you did a great job, you've done a great merit, when we get back I have to properly reward you!"

Xiong Tianyan revealed a face of joy, "Many thanks Chairman!"

Xiong Tianyan was crazy about alchemy, he did not have much interest in money, he was infatuated with alchemy, if he had the chance to receive 1 or 2 high level refining methods from Chu Tian, that for him was the greatest honour!

Nangong Yun ran out from the backyard, "Boss, I found three white rhinoceros carriages in the stable, they are too attractive, can I borrow one to test it out!"

"It's yours!" Chu Tian was very generous, "Give the other two to Yingying and little miss!"

Meng Yingying was beaming with joy, "I always wanted a good carriage, but I never had the money to buy one, I never thought I would get a premade one."

Meng Qingwu's lips broke out in a smile.

The white rhinoceros was a very beautiful demon beast, jade like body, snow white colour, it was especially suitable for females. Each white rhinoceros carriage would cost over 10000 gold coins, Meng Qingwu could not bare to by it!

Anyway she didn't need money!

This fellow's belongings, she could just keep it for herself!

Chu Tian widely waved his hands, "Search! Continue to search! Today the boss is in a good mood, whatever you find, you can keep 10% of it!"

As soon as everyone heard these words.

The fervently surged forward, their eyes were red with excitement.

Before long, Meng Yingying with a small red face came running out with a head of sweat, "Chu Tian, Chu Tian, I found an underground storage space inside, there are many jewels there!"

Chu Tian nodded his head, "Load it up and take it away!"

Meng Yingying loudly shouted, "Yes!"

Du Zhentian was about to cry!

It was truly a massive bleeding!

Although this was Du Zhentian's personal property, it was still the savings from several years. These people acting like bandits, taking everything of value from the house!

The inlaid gems on the bed were all pulled out!

The things they plundered were all put in Chu Tian bronze ox cart, unexpectedly it was filled to the brim!

Chu Tian sized up Du Zhentian, then doubtfully asked, "Your Du Family has been in Sout Sky City for several decades, you're one of the richest families, you as the head of household no matter what should have several million in assets, why is there so little? Are you hiding some assets from us?

Du Zhen Tian almost spat out blood, then he plainly stated, "None, everything is here!"

None?

You think I'm stupid!

Who would put everything they own in their house?

Chu Tian did not really care since he already had such a big harvest, Du Zhentian no matter what was still a well known person, he couldn't force him too much, so it's better to quit while you're ahead!

"Our past grudges, with this it's all written off!

"I still have to say, if I find out your Du Family is still secretly plotting, I will not forgive you so easily!"

Du Zhentian also released a sigh of relief!

From now on, if they saw a member of Miracle Commerce, the Du Family would firmly avoid them!

Chu Tian drove the cart full of loot back, when he opened the cart, all kinds of treasures spilled out, they were enough to make a person doubt their own eyes!

"Good!"

"Very good!"

"Finally escaped from poverty!"

Chu Tian laughed with satisfaction.

Yingying Hot Pot City could make several tens of thousands of gold coins per day, but what use was that? It still wasn't enough to cover Chu Tian's training expenses.

This was good!

Luo Yuanshan's crystal card with 500000 gold coins deposited.

The assets seized from Du Zhentian's house that was worth more than 1000000 gold coins.

These could be converted into 1500000 gold coins, in South Sky City the people that could take out this kind of money did not surpass 5, even the Mayor's palace would not be able to do this!

Other than that there was still the pile of hard to convert luxury goods!

Moreover he had large quantities of Three Lives Demonic Insects, but that only cost 100-200 gold coins. But if Chu Tian refined them into Qi Training Pills, that would be turning stone into gold instantly, turning them into pills that were worth thousands or even tens of thousands!

When Miracle Commerce is lacking money!

Chu Tian was also lacking funds for training!

This was good, this short period of time he did not have to worry about money!

Chu Tian planned to increase Xiong Tianyan's strength, he planned to help him become an Awakened Soul Cultivator, then he would help him take the position of the Alchemy Master Guild Chairman. Xiong Tianyan's intelligence was originally not bad, but since he was infatuated with studying alchemy, his cultivation base training was very slow. Chu Tian only needed to give him the right supporting formulas and he could certainly succeed!

Ye Xiong's fear was something he couldn't even dream of!

This time not only did he failed to beat Chu Tian, instead he forced Chu Tian to break out in this short time!

Chapter 61: Lying low until the dust settles

After several days, Miracle Commerce had taken over the Du Family's mold printing factory, it was focused on manufacturing lamps, if this factory operated full time, everyday Miracle commerce could produce over ten thousand lamps!

Miracle Commerce's production strength had been increased ten fold!

Meng Qingwu started to buy small factories wantonly and mass buy materials.

Southern Cloud Medicine Shop and Southern Cloud Symbol Shop, were distributed with a large amount of funds and they both began to buy workshops. From the Alchemy Masters Guild and the Symbol Technique Masters Guild, they started to directly recruit talents in preparation of their official opening.

Miracle Commerce had developed a great reputation!

Chu Tian had prestige in South Sky City, even higher than before the storm.

But, Chu Tian was not relaxed, because the real trouble, was just starting!

Nangong Yi personally came to visit, the first sentence he said was, "I got some news, the matter of you killing the Luo Family's elder and the Chu Family's talented offspring, has already been sent to Central State!"

This sentence.

Everyone was shocked!

Nangong Yi seemed extremely anxious, "You putting yourself in the limelight was good, but it caused two parties to bear anger towards you, so the situation has not improved at all, instead it's deteriorating, you better prepare yourself for retaliation at any time!"

Meng Qingwu's umber black eyebrow focused, "These two families are not inferior to the Ye Family, if they collaborate, it will be hard to resist them."

"Elder sister, what are you worried about!" Meng Yingying started to have blind confidence in Chu Tian, "Even if they're stronger, aren't the only Central State City families, they can't possibly have a way to deal with Chu Tian!"

"You can't say for sure." Nangong Yi gently sighed, "Before Chu Tian only had the two families' attention, but he wasn't considered important, he was only a small matter. Now the two families are furious, the situation will not be the same as before!"

What Nangong Yi said was right!

Chu Family, Luo Family, Ye Family.

Central State Four Great Families, which one wasn't like poking a hornet's nest?

If an ordinary person met any of them, they would not be able to bear the consequences!

Chu Tian was a little impolite, he hadn't even gone to Central State yet and he had already stabbed all three!

These three families were not jokes, they had established statuses. Many Awakened Soul Cultivators, it could be said they had experts like the rolling clouds. Moreover, it was a spear to the back was hard to guard, if they sent assassins to kill him, it would be difficult for Chu Tian to escape.

The three Great Families could use the excuse of dealing with Chu Tian to suppress the business of Miracle Commerce.

To the newly established Miracle Commerce, this a large test.

"I'll send a letter to the family and try to ask them to send people over." Nangong Yi said this and paused, "But the Imperial City is several thousand li away and Central State is only a thousand li away, in the end water far away can not put out nearby fires!"

Nangong Yun knit her brows and said, "Then what do we do! We can't just sit here waiting for death!"

Meng Qingwu gave a suggestion, "We can hide Chu Tian away, like this we can avoid most of the intense confrontation, even if they want to retaliate, they can't find the person anyway."

Nangong Yi was still the Mayor, his foundation was not unstable, under the pressure of Three Great Families, if they chose frontal confrontation, then he might be included in it.

If he could avoid direct confrontation with the Three Great Families.

Protecting Miracle Commerce.

Protecting Meng Qingwu and Meng Yingying.

Nangong Yi was confident in achieving.

Everyone was thinking of a way to help Chu Tian solve his problem!

Chu Tian gave a long yawn from the side, like he was about to fall asleep from listening, "Little miss, didn't you help me get a black market pass? I want to go for a stroll in the black market, see if their are any useful resources, hide away for a while, what do you think?"

Nangong Yi was surprised, "You want to go to the black market?"

Meng Qingwu quickly said, "You can't!"

Meng Qingwu explained, "If you stay in South Sky City, we can still protect you, but if you openly leave, wouldn't that be playing into their hands? Everything in South Sky City, there is nothing the Ye Family does not know, if you leave South Sky City, it's impossible they won't know!"

Chu Tian laughed, "How can this trouble me? Wait a few minutes for me, I'll go and be right back!"

What kind of medicine did Chu Tian eat?

After a few minutes.

A blue robed youth hurried in, "Little Lu Ren, greets you all."

Who was this?

This person was less than 20 years old, big eyes bushy brows, a plain face, not a single special feature. He was simply an extremely normal person, if lost in a crowd, no one would pay him any attention.

He really had a good name!

He completely fit the name "passerby"!

Meng Yingying walked in front of Lu Ren, staring at him for a while, pinching his cheeks, pulling his hair, finally showing a panicked expression, "You…..You are Chu Tian?"

Chu Tian laughed, "Looks like my disguise technique is not bad!"

Regardless of height, build, features, even his voice, everything had changed, he was a completely different person!

Did such an amazing disguise technique exist?

Nangong Yun thought this was unbelievable, "How did you do this?"

Chu Tian smiled and said, "Nothing but some medicine and adding in an exclusive disguise technique, next time I have a chance I'll teach it to you!"

This time if they walked out, there would be no one that could recognize Chu Tian!

They let the Mayor arrange a suitable identity for him.

Turning him into a completely different person!

Chu Tian stared at everyone's surprised expression, please with himself he said, "You have to remember, I am called Lu Ren, I am a rogue cultivator. I've obtained the black market pass by accident, so I decided to participate and try my luck! I don't know you and have no relations with Miracle Commerce!

High levelled!

Truly high levelled!

Like this he could truly deceive everyone!

If Chu Tian remained in South Sky City, because he frequently contacts Meng Yingying and Meng Qingwu, he would be seen through. But if Chu Tian left South Sky City, who would know the relation between him and Miracle Commerce?"

"The black market is in the Yin Corpse Valley." Nangong Yi was somewhat afraid of the Yin Corpse valley, "The Yin Corpse Valley is an unlucky place, how much do you know about it?"

What was the black market?

A special market that was outside a normal market!

If foreign merchants want to do business in a city, not only was the procedure very complex, but they also had to pay very high taxes!

The number of commodities was strictly limited to avoid disrupting the local market and harming the local commerces. The number of caravans were also strictly limited to prevent spies, undercover agents, and other people with ill intentions from using the name of merchants to enter in.

Because of all these strict limitation, this gave birth to a black market, beyond the controls of the cities. Each caravan could bring their goods, if you want to enter you enter, if you want to leave you leave, there were no limitations and no taxes.

The local treasures that were either stolen, robbed, or inconvenient to bring into the city, were all brought to the black market to sell.

Gradually.

The black market grew to the size it was now!

Because the kingdom would frequently try to suppress it, no one dared to construct a black market in an open place, so the majority of black markets were built in unvisited places, sometimes even in dangerous places.

The Yin Corpse Valley was one of those places.

Nangong Yi simply introduced, "The Yin Corpse Valley is one of the Central State well known dangers, it was said that 5000-6000 years ago, it was the headquarters of a formidable evil sect, no one knows how it suddenly vanished. However, there are deadly traps all over the Yin Corpse Valley, it is a very dangerous place."

The black market was unexpectedly established in the ruins of an ancient sect?

Chu Tian was very interested!

Nangong Yi continued saying, "What the Yin Corpse Valley is most well known for are its Yin Corpses, it is said that people that die in the Yin Corpse Valley, their bodies do not rot for 10 years, because they absorb the Yin energy, ultimately turning into Yin Corpses."

"It sounds quite frightening!" Meng Yingying showed an expression of fear, "Are Yin Corpses that strong?"

"Although the were once human, they have already turned into monsters, long have they lost their human instincts, their nature is savage!" Nangong Yi continued, "The Yin Corpses cannot be considered living beings, their lifespan is infinite, the longer the live, they stronger they become!"

Nangong Yi explained, "Ten Year Old Yin Corpses have a cultivation 1st Body Refinement Layer, with its invulnerability, infinite strength, and poison, its strength is not inferior to a 2nd or 3rd layer Body Refinement Cultivator. Then, after each 10 years is a single layer increase, Twenty Year Old Yin Corpses have a cultivation of 2nd Body Refinement Layer, Thirty Year Old Yin Corpses have a cultivation of 3rd Body Refinement Layer!"

"The Yin Corpse Valley has a history of thousands of years, there are many hundred year corpses, there are even some thousand year corpses!"

Meng Qingwu knit her umber brows.

People only knew the mysterious black market existed, they never knew the black market was so dangerous.

Chu Tian could not bring a guard, he could only go alone to this monstrous region where Yin Corpses run wild, how could anyone feel comforted by this?

Yin Corpses?

This was a little interesting!

Chu Tian was not even the least bit afraid, "These kinds of things, I already know, you guys just relax, I have my ways to deal with them!"

He originally wanted to go to the black market to test his luck.

This was not only a black market, at the same time it was also the ruin of an ancient sect.

This kind of opportunity containing place, if Chu Tian did not have a look, how could that be acceptable?

Nangong Yi saw that there was no way to convince Chu Tian, he could only give up. Chu Tian was resourceful, although he was a little crazy, but he was not stupid, he should understand what discretion was.

The black market camp in the Yin Corpse Valley, there shouldn't be any strong Yin Corpses that show up there/

Chu Tian prepared for two days in South Sky City, bringing along a bunch of talismans, a few bottles of medicine and pills, he looked exactly like a rogue cultivator.

Cash?

He would first bring 500000 gold coins!

Turning them all into gold coin cards, each card had 10000 gold coins!

This money wouldn't be used for sure, because Chu Tian had heard from Nangong Yi, foreign merchants would not necessarily accept the kingdom's gold coins, but it was better to be prepared, he couldn't bring too little.

The preparations were finished.

Chu Tian openly left South Sky City.

Travelling all the way north.

Chu Tian had been travelling a few days.

Finally arriving in a small town named "Black Stone Town".

Black Stone Town was the closest small town to the Yin Corpse Valley, the town's population was less than 100000, half of them were non-native populates, if they weren't large family disciples coming to the Yin Corpse Valley for experience, then they were either merchants or rogue cultivators here to try their luck.

Chu Tian with his disguise, walking in the crowd not sticking out, strolled through Black Stone Town, while asking for news about the Yin Corpse Valley.

"Selling elixirs, herbal medicines that were just dug!'

"Selling beast cores, high quality best cores!"

"Just released black goods, you must come take a look!"

"..."

Black Stone Town was not a black market, it was just a small town with many small merchant.

A small faraway town, many foreign populace, so the management was not strict and business was free. There were many goods that had been stolen, but if one was patient enough, perhaps they would find some kind of treasure.

"The latest news!"

"The latest news!"

"The caravans of the Great Zhou Black Moon Sect has just entered the black market, they've brought many herbs, equipment and cultivation techniques to sell on the black market!"

"They do not want the kingdom's gold coins, they only want corpse cores! As long as you have enough corpse cores, you can trade for anything you want!"

Once this news came.

Everyone was shocked!

This country was called the Southern Summer Country and was only a small country. The Great Zhou Country was also a country, but it was a large country, its populace and influence was far from what the Southern Summer Country could compare with!

It a Great Zhou Country Sect brought goods over to Southern Summer Counter, even if they were common goods in the Great Zhou Country, they would still be rare goods that anyone from the Southern Summer Country would want!

Chu Tian was very excited.

He had to go to the black market as fast as possible.

But entering the black market was not as simple as it seemed!

The terrain of the Yin Corpse Valley was rough with many forbidden traps, it wasn't guaranteed that you'd get out in 8-10 days and there were many dangers. So it was necessary to find a guide, or perhaps someone that knew the terrain very well.

But where could he find one?

Chapter 62: Hunting and killing Yin Corpses

Black Stone Town center, cultivator gathering, noises all around.

Once the news of the Great Zhou Country caravan came, everyone wanted to seize this opportunity, seizing some cultivation resources from a large nation's sect.

The Yin Corpses were very fierce, it was too dangerous to hunt them alone.

So rogue cultivators temporarily formed teams.

Like this they would stand a chance.

"Is Young Lady Cai Die recruiting members?"

"Although she is a newcomer, with Young Lady Cai Die's strength and appearance, her reputation is already not small! Now they have a spot open, do you guys want to go and try out?"

"Are you stupid? They are all abnormal, all four of them are at the 9th Body Refinement Layer, with your 7th layer Body Refinement cultivation, are you looking to be laughed at?"

"Shh! Be quiet! Don't you see Ding Feng is here? Do you dare compete with him?"

The originally eager cultivators backed off in fright.

A girl and two man stood in an open area.

The girl had a delicate long sword on her back, wearing a rainbow place dress, gentle temperament, solemn and gentle. Although she couldn't be considered extremely beautiful, her eyes were bright and had a special flavour to them, she was a very attractive woman.

To her left was a strong robust man, he held a giant war hammer. To her right was a dark skinned thin youth, he had two short swords and on his back was a long bow.

The rainbow clothed girl said to everyone, "Our team is lacking one person, we are looking for someone with a 9th layer Body Refinement cultivation!"

This phrase.

Everyone couldn't help sighing.

How many people in Black Stone Town had a cultivation of 9th Body Refinement Layer?

The rainbow clothed girl then said, "We are looking for corpse cores in the valley, the distribution will be even, is there anyone that wants to try?"

Everyone was quiet for a while, then a tall strong man walked out, arrogantly saying, "Since these useless things do not have any balls, then why not just give this last spot to me, Ding Feng!"

"Is he Black Iron Palm Ding Feng?"

"His Black Iron Strong Palm Technique is incredibly strong!"

"Yeah, let's not fight him!"

The crowd was full of discussion, everyone was afraid of this man.

Cai Die could feel Ding Feng's strong aura, her heart knew this was an expert, but still she gave an exploratory shout, "Is there anyone else who wants to try? Here we talk with strength, whoever is the strongest is the one we'll choose, is there anyone who wants to try?"

Dian Feng crossed his arms in front of him, his face full of arrogance, "Young miss Cai Die, do you think that there is anyone more qualified than me? Instead of wasting time on this pile of trash, we should go and kill some Yin Corpses!"

This sentence enraged many people.

"How arrogant!"

"Let me have a try!"

A large man holding a sabre jumped out, a cold sabre wind flew out, the sabre glow fell down weaving into a flower, aiming right at the top of Ding Feng's head.

"Humph!"

"Such insignificant skill!"

Ding Feng's hands were covered with a metallic glow, a palm hit the sabre's edge, directly causing the iron sabre to bend.

The large man's face filled with panic, "I've lost!"

Hearing this Ding Feng did not stop his hand, his hands shot out at the same time, heavily hitting the man's chest, a clear bone breaking sound could be heard.

The large man was sent flying ten meter away, his chest was caved in, more air was leaving instead of entering, just like he was suffocating, he was afraid he would not be able to live.

"This is the fate of those who challenge me!" Ding Feng coldly smiled as he said, "Who still refuses to accept this? Come out for me!"

The crowd as frightened as the all stepped back, everyone had a face of dread.

"How strong!"

"This is the Black Iron Strong Palm Technique?"

Ding Feng was a very well known Body Refinement rogue cultivator, because of his lucky encounter which let him learn the Black Iron Strong Palm, he had already practiced it to the point, where he could bare handedly fight against sabre edge, this strength was not small.

This person also had a cruel personality, if you knew him, never provoke him.

The large guy was asking for bad luck!

Cai Die was a little disappointed with Ding Feng being so ruthless, it was not a life and death match, was there a need to be so heavy handed?

But Ding Feng's strength, she approved of!

Cai Die's gentle voice sounded out, she did not want anyone else to be injured, "You have a strong palm technique, your cultivation base is also at 9th Body Refinement Layer, completely meets our requirements, we welcome you to our group."

Obtaining the beautiful woman's praise, Ding Feng was satisfied in his heart, "How could these wastes be qualified to be Young Lady Cai Die's companion? This spot, naturally belongs to me!"

Such wild arrogance!

Ding Feng was strong, people felt indignant but did not dare speak out.

Ding Feng enjoyed this kind of awe, swaggering as he walked over, but from the crowd a soft voice sounded.

"Wait a minute."

A young youth walked out of the crowd, he was less than 20 years old, a mediocre appearance, his eyes were bright and clear.

Ding Feng stopped his steps and turned around, with a black face showing his anger, "Little brat, do you know the consequences of making me wait?"

Shit.

This asshole was truly arrogant!

Chu Tian knit his brows and clearly said to him, "I think I'm more suited to join this team, so I'll have to ask you to leave!"

Wasn't this seeking death?

A young teenager dared to say these kinds of words in front of Dian Feng!

This youth was too impulsive, completely enraging Dian Feng, Cai Die with good intent tried to persuade him, "This little brother, we are only looking for experts of the 9th Body Refinement Layer, your cultivation does not seem weak, but you are still a bit from the 9th Body Refinement Layer….."

"Didn't you say before, here we talk with strength!" Chu Tian's turned and he strongly said, "I think that here, I am the strongest!"

Everyone held in a cold breath.

The robust man with the hammers beside Cai Die broke out in a smile, "This little brat is a little interesting!"

"You dare to be this wild in front of me?" Dian Feng breathing became heavy, his eyes became sinister and frightening, "I don't know if I should admire you courage or your stupidity…..Since you're looking to die, then I'll just help you!"

His hands were covered in a black metallic gloss!

Dang!

The Black Iron Strong Palms fell upon the youth's body!

The youth's body let out a clear ringing sound, Ding Feng's palms had not landed on his body, rather a large ancient bell.

"Scram!"

Chu Tian's body flashed with starlight.

"Wa!"

Ding Feng pitifully called out as he flew for several feet, he had received internal injuries, both arms had been fractured, this scene made everyone feel shock!

Ding Feng's palm strength was this surprising? His full strength palm had hit the youth's body, but instead of killing the youth, he had been sent flying with internal injuries!

Chu Tian from beginning to end had not looked at Ding Feng, his body was covered with the splendor of stars, arriving in front of the rainbow clothed lady, "I am Lu Ren!"

Bystander?

What kind of weird name was this?

Cai Die found it hard to cover up her panic, "You should have practiced a strong defense cultivation technique, perhaps you've already reached the large success boundary? You can resist the attack of higher levels, you are incredibly fierce! Completely qualified to join us!

Large success boundary?

That's strange!

Chu Tian's «Starlight Immortal Body» had not even reached the small success boundary yet, but this shocking matter, it was better to keep in his heart.

In the Central State area where had this kind of person come from, why had they never heard of him before?

This kind of ancient defense cultivation technique, they've never heard about it from their elders!

"I'm called Cai Die, this giant is called Xiang Hu, this stuffy gourd is called Di Jian!"

Cai Die was probably over 20 years old, she was a temperamental beauty.

Yi?

Chu Tian stared at Cai Die's face for over two seconds, before revealing a pondering smiling face.

This woman was wearing a disguise, but the method compared to his, it fell far too short!

Perhaps this Cai Die was disfigured?

Did she disguise herself to become beautiful?

Chu Tian secretly stated his criticisms in his heart, but did not have the interest to pursue this matter, "Didn't you say you had five people? There's still a person missing!"

"The other person is called Bai Zimo, he has been to the black market several times, so he is familiar with the terrain, his cultivation base is also the highest, he is already at the peak 9th Body Refinement Layer! He is one of Central State's well known geniuses, he can fight skip levels and fight people, just like you!"

"Let's go, we'll go see him."

The small town entrance.

Bai Zimo was wearing a magnificent white silk gown, a long sword with an inlaid gem on the handle was around his back, wearing a jade crown, his skin was fair and clear, you can tell from his appearance, he was far from what a rogue cultivator looked like, he seemed like one of the large families' junior.

Bai Zimo was impatient from waiting, "Why are you guys so slow!"

"What are you guys doing!" Once he saw the young Chu Tian, Bai Zimo knit his brows and a look of disgust appeared on his face, "I let you find a helper, how come you came back with this trash!"

"He doesn't even have a 9th layer Body Refinement cultivation, he'll only hold us back! This kind of waste is better not to have! Let him leave immediately!"

In this world, strength was respected.

Bai Zimo's tone was this rampant, but he was still justified.

Cai Die had an awkward expression, "Zimo, don't be angry, little brother Lu Ren is a bit young, his cultivation is a little weak, but his battle strength is not lacking. He practices a special set of body cultivation technique, even Ding Feng's Black Iron Strong Palm could not break it!"

Xiang Hu's tall stature walked up, "Brother Bai, we personally saw it, Ding Feng thrust out a palm, little brother did not dodge, he used his defense cultivation technique to injure Ding Feng!"

"Humph is that so? If you say it like this, Ding Feng was a disappointment to his name!"

Bai Zimo said this, but in his heart he felt fear and envy.

This boy could hurt Dian Feng like this, in just another few years he would not be any worse than himself!

Bai Zimo was not satisfied in his heart, "Alright, since that is the case, in a worst case scenario you can be our meat shield."

"Let's go!" Bai Zimo turned around without looking at Chu Tian, "We have to get to the black market before night!"

Cai Die busily advised Chu Tian as she said, "His personality is like this, don't mind it!"

Xiang Hu also tried to comfort him, "That's right, not only is Bai Zimo's cultivation high, his family members are in high positions in the black market. His birth was good, his strength is good, him becoming arrogant is normal. It's said, he's been to the black market several times, with him leading the way, we can avoid the dangerous areas, definitely be able to arrive peacefully."

Chu Tian slightly nodded his head.

He didn't really mind that much.

Being rampant is fine, but he had to have self knowledge, he had to have basic principles!

Bai Zi Mo's manner was truly arrogant, but his mouth was just a little mean, Chu Tian's mouth was worthwhile to point out, was just like a life and death struggle.

Cai Die, Xiang Hu, and Di Jian, the three of them were at the 9th Body Refinement Layer.

Bai Zimo was at the peak 9th Body Refinement Layer.

Only Chu Tian was at the peak 8th Body Refinement Layer.

However the so called genius Bai Zimo, his strength was only at the same level as Chu Yi, although he would be a little difficult to deal with, Chu Tian did not put him in his eyes.

Outside Black Stone Town, a wasteland of dead trees, deadly silent and dilapidated, a lifeless picture.

The silent short youth Di Jian, began to talk for the first time,

"Everyone be careful, there are several Yin Corpses in front!"

The cultivation technique he practiced was special, it gave him strong detection abilities, when Yin Corpses appear nearby, he could always find them before the others.

From the stone rubble, out came several man shaped monsters, their body covered with a dark qi, the looked absolutely terrifying.

Their bodies did not have any moisture, just like dry withered corpses, their bodies were covered in white fur, they had sharp jet black nails, a pair of demonic green eyes, their faces were distorted not single bit resembling a human.

This was a Yin Corpse?

The Yin Corpse's cultivation could be determined from the color of the hair on the body, the hair was born from the Yin qi the corpses absorbed, Body Refinement Realm Yin Corpses had white hair, Awakened Soul Realm Yin Corpses had black hair.

Some people had once said they saw a blood coloured Yin Corpse, of course this was just a rumor, black Yin Corpses were already several hundred years old, a blood Yin Corpse would be at least a thousand years old, if a blood Yin Corpse appeared, not to say the black market or Black Stone Town, all the surrounding towns would be in trouble!

"Judging by its Yin Qi, the most it can be is 30-40 years old!"

"Alright let's move!"

Chapter 63: Hundred Year Old Corpse

30-40 year old Yin Corpse, should have been formed in modern times, it was most likely a tragic rogue cultivator that died, it's cultivation was at most 3rd or 4th Body Refinement Layer, this did not constitute as a threat!

Di Jian took out his bow in a single step and took out 4-5 arrows.

Sou, sou, sou, sou!

Drawing up at a 45 degree angle, he fired right into the sky.

The black arrows crashed down!

The Yin Corpse had not even notice the people nearby and the arrows had already landed, piercing right on through.

Fast!

Too fast!

Chu Tian could not help saying, "Good archery technique!"

Di Jian put away his long bow, smiled a friendly smile, and said nothing.

Bai Zimo crossed his arms in disdain, "This insignificant skill, what are you so proud of! What are you doing, watching a play? Go get the corpse core!"

Bai Zimo not only did not give Chu Tian face, he also embarrassed Di Jian.

And he was even giving out orders.

This made the others feel a little annoyed!

Chu Tian pondered.

You little brat really has a superiority complex, I let you go once, you won't think that I'm an easy to push around person now will you?

Bai Zimo with his arms crossed, coldly smiled as he said, "You don't seem convinced?"

"Lu Ren, I'll go with you." Cai Die feared that the team would start fighting so she pulled Chu Tian to leave.

Bai Zimo's brows wrinkled when he saw this, his eyes flashed a hint of anger.

Everyone else was getting along fine.

Only Bai Zimo's attitude was too poor.

Bai Zimo was indispensable, first not to mention he was familiar with the terrain, he knew how to avoid traps and dangerous areas, also in a pinch, he could help relieve the team's problems.

With a strong teammate, everyone's heart was a little more relaxed.

Attitude…...they just had to endure it and it would be fine.

Corpse cores and beast cores were not the same.

Beast cores were the source of energy for demon beasts, when a demon beast gets to a certain step, they would condense one in their body, therefore if one could find a single beast core after killing ten demon beast, that would already be considered good.

Corpse cores were not the same, it was congealed from yin qi and corpse qi, each Yin Corpse will have one in their bodies. Therefore the output of the Yin Corpse valley was incredibly high.

Some evil cultivation techniques drew on corpse cores, certain special alchemy recipes and refining methods also required them. Corpse cores were an important multipurpose resource.

Chu Tian did not know any evil cultivation techniques, corpse cores were no use to him, but he might as well get some to exchange in the black market for the resources he did need.

The five of them continued forward.

The Yin Corpse Valley was filled with Yin Corpses, but so far, every Yin Corpse they met were all weak, Xiang Hu, Cai Die, or Di Jian always took care of them instantly!

Di Jian was incredibly mobile, excelling at killing from range!

Xiang Hu practiced a wild cultivation technique, he had strong short range strength, not a single Yin Corpse could block his hammer.

The one who surprised Chu Tian the most was Cai Die, this girl's strength was not weak, her cultivation was at the 9th Body Refinement Layer, but she had high comprehension of a cultivation technique, strong martial arts experience, and held an autumn water treasured sword, it significantly increased her battle potential, she was almost equal level peak 9th Body Refinement Layer experts!

Young Lady Cai Die was not your average person!

Whether is was cultivation technique, martial arts, or equipment, they were all things a trivial rogue cultivator would never have.

Bai Zimo and Chu Tian never made a move, Bai Zimo's cultivation was the strongest so he needed to save spirit energy, so he could deal with any possible circumstances. Chu Tian never made a move because everyone had regarded him as a strong meat shield.

They kept getting more and more corpse cores!

A completely full bag!

Xiang Hu excitedly said, "We've almost collected a hundred corpse cores, if divided equally, we can go to the Great Zhou Country's caravan that just arrived at the black market and exchange for some good medicines or good equipment!"

Cai Die's face was filled with joy, her hand held her long sword, bright as the autumn's waters, beautiful enough to move people.

"Right now we've already entered the Yin Corpse Valley, we cannot be careless, we have to be careful."

They didn't even finish talking!

As a terrible howling came from in front of them!

A bone chilling ice cold wind, like ice blades whistling by, gave the five of them a shock from head to toe.

Di Jian face had a big change as he said, "There is a high level Yin Corpse aura from the southwest!"

When everyone turned to look, they saw a dirt covered Yin Corpse, slowly crawling out of a tunnel!

This one was clearly different from the other Yin Corpses, its body was not withered, but rather it was very strong and it was covered in a dark green corpse poison. Its vicious eyes stared at them, the terrifying killing intent made it hard for them to breathe.

Xiang Hu felt as if his heart was being gripped, "This Yin Corpse has a cultivation of 9th Body Refinement Layer!"

"Invulnerable Yin Corpse body and it has corpse poison, even at the same level, it would be difficult for us to be a match for it." Cai Die felt anxious, she could not help taking a step back, "Bai Zimo, your strength can deal with him, we'll have to trouble you to make a move."

"Don't be anxious." Bai Zimo wasn't in a hurry, he said with a teasing tone, "We still have another person, that hasn't made a move yet!"

Cai Die clenched his fist, she was a bit angry as she said, "Zimo, this kind of time, can you not act like this!"

"Humph, young lady Cai Die, what are you worried about? With me here to protect you, you won't be injured." Bai Zimo crossed his arms, his eyes were staring at the Yin Corpse, he did not have a single intention to make a move, "I just can't stand seeing a petty person who does not want to do anything, infiltrating our team and not helping at all!"

Bai Zimo was clearly aiming at Chu Tian.

"What are you still gawking at?" Bai Zimo was staring at Chu Tian with an aloof look as he said, "There is only you, now go!"

This Yin Corpse was at the crucial moment of breaking into hundred years old!

Letting a single 8th Body Refinement Layer person go fight it, wasn't this seeking death?

Yin Corpses were also good at using corpse poison, if one fought them close range, it was necessary to take care of them in one hit, otherwise they would be affected by the corpse poison, then they would die without a doubt!

Yin Corpses were monsters, they did not have any biological weakness and had a layer of copper skin!

This youth's cultivation base was not only weak, he also focused on defense, letting him fight such a terrifying Yin Corpse, wasn't this sending him to his death!

Cai Die angrily said, "You just want to see him die!"

"I've already told you, our team doesn't need this worthless person, it was you that wanted to bring him along, how can you blame me?" Bai Zimo coldly said, "If he really dies, then that would be a good thing, having one less person, doesn't that mean everyone gets more corpse cores?"

"Alright, alright! If you don't make a move then that's fine!" Cai Die was driven beyond her limits, "Lu Run, let's go together!"

Xiang Hu also couldn't keep watching Bai Zimo act like this, "I'll also come help!"

Di Jian did not say anything, but he expressed himself with his actions, he took a black arrow from behind him and prepared to fight.

Bai Zimo face filled with anger!

That's right, he was deliberately doing this to the boy!

Who let this little boy have this kind of strength?

Ding Feng was not a simple person, he could defeat the 9th Body Refinement Layer Ding Feng with his 8th Body Refinement Layer cultivation, his talent was perhaps even above his own!

Bai Zimo's disposition was very proud, so his self restraint was good. The thing he hates the most are people who are stronger than him, so because of this, from the beginning he didn't like this brat.

So what if he was talented?

Geniuses could easily fall down from heaven!

Who would expect that Cai Die and the others, would dare to go against him and ruin the plans of Bai Zimo!

Chu Tian slightly sighed.

How could he not see through Bai Zimo's thoughts?

This person did not have spirit, was narrow minded, feared competition, no matter how talented he was, he would never achieve anything big.

"No need to trouble you guys, I'll go and try!"

Chu Tian's legs shook, like an illusion, he shot out. The tip of his toes treaded across the stones, his body exploded forward, like an arrow shot out.

The Yin Corpse seeing this, the poison became thicker, his claws filled with black qi, roaring to kill Chu Tian in front of him.

"Hurry come back!"

"You can't fight him alone!"

Cai Die and Xiang Hu's complexion changed, Di Jian quickly pulled out his long bow.

Chu Tian fished out a talisman while midair, he added his spirit energy into the talisman, immediately activating the source energy array. Entering into hyperfocus, flying high to avoid the Yin Corpse's claw, he shot the talisman onto the Yin Corpse.

The talisman turned into a white spear!

Stabbing through the Yin Corpse's chest and coming out the back!

"Go!"

This light spear had nailed the Yin Corpse, it had nailed the Yin Corpse onto a rock. Normally, the Yin Corpse does not fear ordinary injuries, but this Yin Corpse was sending out shrill cries, its body was letting off smoke, as if it was on fire and before now it had become a withered burnt body.

Di Jian had only half drawn his bow!

Because Chu Tian's strike was too fast!

Fast as lighting, exquisite dodging, releasing a symbol technique, defeating the enemy in one hit, as if it had been repeatedly practiced, it was smooth as it could be!

Such a powerful Hundred Year Old Yin Corpse, it was unexpectedly taken care of in a single move!

Cai Die's face was filled with shock, "How did you do that?"

Chu Tian walked back over after taking the corpse core, "I have a light attribute Symbol Technique, light attribute power is good for killing Yin Corpses!"

Bai Zimo's eyes flashed with anger, coldly he said, "Humph, using items to fight, what are you so proud of! I really feel ashamed for you!"

Cai Die was disappointed in Bai Zimo, she never thought that this fellow would be this kind of a narrow minded person, "No matter what, Lu Ren killed the Yin Corpse! The difficulty of killing this Yin Corpse, was more than what all of us had done combined, you don't have any right to say anything!"

Bai Zimo's calm face did not speak.

However, at this time.

Di Jian suddenly shouted in a panic, "Not good! There are lots of Yin Corpse presences nearby! We're about to be surrounded!"

As if complimenting his words.

All around time, Yin Corpse cries sound out at the same time, from tunnels, from caves, endless Yin Corpses crawled out, thick Yin Qi surrounded them, fierce faces, the majority of them had a cultivation of 7-8th Body Refinement Layer.

Bai Zimo's complexion changed, "This route I've walked many times, how could there be so many Yin Corpses!"

Yin Corpses were asleep most of the time.

Only in certain special cases, would they awaken together!

At this time, all around the five people, there appeared a hundred Yin Corpses and each one of time were not weak.

"Ao, ao!"

An especially terrifying roar sounded out from above their heads.

On a cliff about 50-60 meters high, stood a Yin Corpse wearing a tattered helmet and armour. This Yin Corpse's body was not only strong, his body was covered with corpse qi, it had already turned slightly black, the miasma became larger.

The most terrifying thing was.

The hair on this Yin Corpse, half of it had already turned black!

A Yin Corpse that had basically evolved to the black level was here!

In other words, this Yin Corpse's strength, was very close to an Awakened Soul Cultivator. Because of its advantages as a Yin Corpse, even though it had not fully entered the Awakened Soul Realm, its strength was still on par with a 1st layer Awakened Soul Realm Cultivator!

"Not good!"

If it was only a normal Hundred Year Old Yin Corpse, then with the power of the five of them, they could still deal with it. Now that an Awakened Soul Realm Yin Corpse had appeared, no matter how many people there were there was no way they could deal with it?

Bai Zimo's eyes flashed, "Waste, now is the time for you to be useful! Your strong defensive power can block him for a while, as long as you attract its attention, I'll make a move and kill it!"

Chu Tian's defensive power was strong.

But could it block the corpse poison?

Let alone, Chu Tian was only at the 8th Body Refinement Layer, this Yin Corpse's strength was already at the Awakened Soul Realm!

Bai Zimo wanted to Chu Tian to guard? He wanted Chu Tian to buy time so he could run away!

Chu Tian coldly laughed in his heart, suddenly he had an inspiration as he said, "No need to worry, our team still has someone who hasn't made a move yet!"

Cai Die, Xiang Hu, Di Jian all stared at Ba Zimo, without a doubt, out of the five of them, only Bai Zimo at the peak 9th Body Refinement Layer, had the ability to block this Yin Corpse.

"You guys……"

Bai Zimo's fair face turned red!

Chu Tian then said, "Our team need a petty person who does not want to do anything! So, I ask you to make a move!"

Weren't these words familiar?

Weren't they the words he had said to Chu Tian a few minutes ago!

At this time, the Yin Corpse let out a ferocious roar, from the tens of meter high cliff, it rushed right down. The Yin Corpse's goal was clear, Bai Zimo's cultivation was the highest, it would take care of Ba Zimo first!

"Dammit!"

Bai Zimo let out a roar, taking out the long sword on his back, a beautiful sword light shone out and he pierced right at the Yin Corpse.

Chapter 64: Escaping from danger

His peak 9th Body Refinement cultivation stirred, spirit energy spouted out in excitement, the shape a white crane appeared, spreading its wings wide, sword light soared into the heavens, splitting the sky.

Dang!

The Yin Corpse's sharp claw swept across!

The jet black nails collided with the sword's edge!

The two colliding powers dispersed, Bai Zimo and the Yin Corpse were both sent flying back!

How strong.

Unexpectedly they were evenly matched!

Cai Die, Xiang Hu, and Di Jian felt a glimmer of hope, if Bai Zimo can fight evenly with this Yin Corpse, there was still hope for this fight.

As long as Bai Zimo can hold off the Hundred Year Old Yin Corpse, the other four can make use of that time to clear out all the ordinary Yin Corpses, then the five of them can collaborate against the Hundred Year Old Yin Corpse and have a chance of winning!

But Bai Zimo did not think this way!

In a single clash!

Bai Zimo felt his vital energy act up, he almost couldn't keep hold of the sword in his hand. This Yin Corpse's strength was beyond his imagination, if he stayed here to fight, he would eventually be defeated.

What kind of person am I?

How can I take this kind of risks for these kinds of people?

This Yin Corpse was so strong, Bai Zimo did not have confidence in winning against him, even if he collaborated with the other four, if he really beat him, Bai Zimo would still be injured.

His true goal was the ruin of the ancient sect.

Looking for corpse dan, exchanging for resources, this was only because it was convenient.

If he was injured for this reason, then it would not be worth it!

I have to find a way to escape!

The Yin Corpse rushed forward once again.

Bai Zimo held up his sword, with great strength, the white crane source spirit shot forward, gliding with extreme speed, plunging right at the nearby Di Jian, his eyes shining with a cold light.

"You…..What are you doing!"

Di Jian felt the other party's terrifying aura against his body, showing a panicked expression, unable to resist in time, Bai Zimo pierced through Di Jian's shoulder.

Bai Zimo regarded Di Jian as a shield to be thrown out!

Cai Die and Xiang Hu were both surprised as they said, "You bastard!"

"You waste holding me back, I won't accompany you, play by yourself!"

Bai Zimo's white crane source spirit, had the ability to soar for a small period, accelerating a hundred meters away, going as fast as he could to abandon them, suddenly making his getaway!

Ran away?

They never would have thought!

There could be someone who would be so shameless in this kind of situation!

It didn't matter if he ran away the moment it became dangerous, but using his companion's live to buy time so he could run away!

"Quick go help!"

Chu Tian knocked away the two Yin Corpse blocking the way, running as fast as he could to Di Jian's side.

Too late!

Di Jian was not prepared to be thrown in front of the Hundred Year Old Yin Corpse, his cultivation was originally lower than Bai Zimo and he was not suited for close combat, how could he block it?

The first claw!

The short swords were knocked flying!

The second claw!

His chest and abdomen were teared apart!

The third claw!

Digging right into his chest!

This kind of fierce quick attack, even Chu Tian had no way to block it!

"Ah!"

Di Jian let out a pitiful yell, his blood soaked body fell onto the ground, surrounded by a crowd of corpses seething with excitement, slowly closing in, this scene truly filled people with terror!

Had Di Jian died?

A lively person had died just like that!

The corpses began to go crazy!

If it continued it would be over!

Chu Tian did not have any ways, he could only walk forward, trying to stop the Hundred Year Old Yin Corpse, he was hit in the shoulder knocked back several feet by the Yin Corpse, the starlight covering his body, unexpectedly had been torn!

Such a strong strike!

Chu Tian felt pain from his ripped shoulder, the sinister strength of the Hundred Year Old Yin Corpse had penetrated his defensive cultivation technique, opening a wound on his shoulder. Although the wound was not deep, the blood flowing from it turned dark, clearly he had been infected with the corpse poison!

Yin Corpses flooded in from all four directions.

Chu Tian loudly shouted, "Block the ordinary Yin Corpses, I'll deal with this one!"

Cai Die and Xiang Hu were startled.

A trivial 8th Body Refinement Layer boy had taken a hit from a Hundred Year Old Yin Corpse and had not died?

This was a monster with strength comparable to an Awakened Soul Realm cultivator!

At this time in the Yin Corpse's eyes, showed a glint of bloodlust, opening his fang filled mouth, he quickly shot out a black mist that almost instantly enveloped Chu Tian.

The two of them looked on in amazement!

The most threatening part of Yin Corpses came from their corpse poison.

The poison in the fog, even Awakened Soul Realm cultivators might not be able to endure. He was only an 8th Body Refinement Layer cultivator, was there any hope for him?

Chu Tian quickly whipped out a bottle of medicine from behind him, opening the lid, drinking it all, only feeling a stream of clear cold dispersing throughout his body, temporarily resisting the poison penetrating his body.

Chu Tian rejoiced over his preparations, otherwise once he suffered this corpse poison, he would have no way to fight back!

Even so, he did not dare be careless!

The Yin Corpse was too fast, his strength was even more shocking, suddenly rushing in front of him, his claw struck Chu Tian's chest. Only seeing a scattering of starlight, Chu Tian flew out like a explosive, flying out of the black mist, his body making a hole in the ground.

"Roar!"

The Yin Corpse came out the black mist, its foot shot at Chu Tian lying on the ground.

Chu Tian hits the ground to shoot his body out, barely dodging the kick.

Dong!

The Yin Corpse's foot stomp sent out shockwaves, sending Chu Tian flying a good several meters.

Chu Tian was not an average person, he had a rich experience in fighting. Using the momentum to balance his body, he landed with both feet on the ground, fists flying like lightning, shooting out at the Yin Corpse.

Peng!

Man and Yin Corpse were both shaken.

Cai Die chopped an ordinary Yin Corpse with her sword, when she saw Chu Tian fighting, she could not help but be amazed. She just realized, Chu Tian's strength was not inferior to Bai Zimo, he could even fight hand to hand with the Yin Corpse on an even scale. Moreover the Yin Corpse had its corpse poison, he had been hit several times, but each time it had been blocked by his special defense cultivation technique!

Too strong!

This youth was only in the 8th Body Refinement Layer!

He could fight evenly with an Awakened Soul Realm existance!

Xiang Hu brandished his giant hammers to send two Yin Corpses flying, excitedly saying, "We need to work harder, let's block the crowd, we can't let them bother little brother!"

"Un!"

Cai Die felt her confidence increasing.

The autumn water sword let several beautiful sword lights fly.

4-5 Yin Corpses stood still, simultaneously being split apart.

After several rounds, Chu Tian spirit energy had been depleted, because of his cultivation limit, his total spirit energy was not high, he would definitely lose in the battle of attritions!

He had to think of a method to decide the battle in one strike!

Chu Tian closed off his senses and opened his Mind's Eye, condensing all his spirit energy, only seeing massive amounts of starlight congealing on his body, finally becoming a glittering translucent glaze!

This time he had used too much spirit energy!

Victory would be defeated in one strike!

This short Glass Body was his strongest move, it was enough to block Chu Yi's attack and injure him.

He flicked his sleeves.

Two talismans fell down into him palms.

"Roar!"

The Yin Corpse brought a terrifying aura, a palm heavily hit Chu Tian's chest, cracks formed on the clear crystal glaze and the Yin Corpse was sent flying back two meters under the incredible strength.

The time was now!

The talismans turned into two fierce light spears, viciously penetrating into the Yin Corpse's body.

Too hard!

Chu Tian brought out the last of his strength, but it only penetrates in a little.

"Ao!"

The Yin Corpse let out a pitiful cry, unceasingly emitting out black fog, the bright energy was seriously injuring it.

Hong!

The Yin Corpse shot its fist onto Chu Tian's body, the Glass Body instantly shattered into pieces, immediately becoming pieces of starlight as blood dripped from the sides of Chu Tian's mouth.

The Glass Body had been broken!

If the Yin Corpse attacked again, Chu Tian's life would be in danger!

"Break for me!"

Chu Tian's hands held a spear each, using all his strength against the Yin Corpse, finally piercing through, the light spears stabbed forward, completely piercing through the Yin Corpse's body, the power was so terrifying it hit the large stone behind it, creating a large hole!

Both legs stepped on it.

Chu Tian pushed it away.

The Yin Corpse gave a struggling pitiful cry, its body ignited in flames, not before long, the formidably strong Yin Corpse, turned into an unmoving burnt body.

Chu Tian turned around to help Cai Die and Xiang Hu, before five minutes passed, the remaining Yin Corpses were all cleared out.

"Did we really do this?"

Cai Die looked at the Yin Corpses scattered, she could not believe her eyes. Three people had take out 100 Yin Corpses who were pretty strong, including a formidable almost evolved black haired existance.

Xiang Hu was full of admiration for Chu Tian, "Brother, are you still human? You're simply a monster!"

Chu Tian was dead tired, his body was full of injuries, "Go collect the corpse cores, there should be around 130-140 of them and all of them seem to be high quality!"

Cai Die and Xiang Hu had just escaped from death, they still had some lingering fear. Being reminded by Chu Tian like this, the two of them revealed a joyful expression!

That's right!

This was a giant harvest!

The two of them worked hard, putting all the corpse cores into their bags!

Cai Die hefted the heavy bag and showed a gratified smile, "Our harvest is truly big this time, by the time we reach the camps we should have around 300 corpse cores. Little brother Lu Ren, we're lucky to have you this time, otherwise we would have died before arriving at the camp, I'll give you half the cores from my share!"

Xiang Hu also said, "I'll also give you half of mine."

Chu Tian was a little hesitant, "This isn't really proper!"

Cai Die said with a casual smile, "Those that are strong have more, that is how it works, so stop worrying about it!"

Chu Tian raised their impressions of him, he understood how to have gratitude, at least his moral character was good. Chu Tian really needed corpse core to trade for resources, so he didn't act polite.

"He, he, you guys have forgotten about me!"

While the three of them were resting, a cold voice rang out.

"Bai Zimo!"

"You…..you still have the courage to appear!"

Bai Zimo wore a set of white clothes, his long sword in hand as he walked over, his eyes swept over the Yin Corpses, then looking at the three exhausted people, his lips turned into a cold smile, "I never would have thought, you would have some tricks up your sleeves, I won't waste any time, hand over my share."

Xiang Hu's angry face said, "Do you even have any face?"

Bai Zimo directly sent out a slash of sword qi.

Xiang Hu hurried to lift his hammers to block, the strength behind it forced him back a few steps, blood poured down from the side of his mouth.

"I've changed my mind, these corpse cores, I will take all of them, as for you guys…...I think I'll just make sure you stay in this Yin Corpse Valley forever, perhaps in ten years, you'll have changed into Yin Corpses." Bai Zimo did not want news of today to spread, so he decided to silence them.

Cai Die found it hard to believe, "You want to kill us?"

"Very sorry, young lady Cai Die, actually I quite liked you, it's a shame I never had a chance to taste your body." Bai Zimo sized up Cai Die's body with an obscene look, finally his hands fell onto the autumn water sword, "This is the autumn water sword? This kind of good sword is wasted in your hands, I'll be able to display its true value!"

Chu Tian slowly stood up, "You are letting yourself be happy too early."

Bai Zimo locked onto Chu Tian, instantly emitting out killing intent, "You talk too much! I'll start with you!"

A cold light flashed out!

The treasure sword pierced out!

"You, this kind of fool want to kill me?!"

Chu Tian opened his Mind's Eye, clearly seeing the distribution of the enemy's spirit energy, including all it weaknesses, dodging by a thin margin, he avoided the dangerous sword's wind!

Viciously raising his foot.

Trampling right into the stomach!

Bai Zimo let out a pitiful cry, he was kicked into the boulder and his body smashed the boulder apart.

Bai Zimo continued to spit out blood, the white gown turned red, the jade crown fell off, his hair was disheveled, his face full of distress, "You…..How could you!"

Chu Tian picked up the sword on the ground and walked step by step over to Bai Zimo.

Bai Zimo moved back in panic, "Wait, I don't want, I don't want the corpse cores anymore!"

Chu Tian looked at him in pity.

Bai Zimo clenched his fist, his face showed a vicious expression, "My older brother is at the black market, you're dead if you dare harm a hair on my head! If you dare to kill me, your three clans will be exterminated!"

"What a joke! I don't dare to kill you?"

Chu Tian raised the long sword.

"NO!"

Bai Zimo desperately shouted as a cold light separated his head from his body.

Chu Tian stabbed the sword into the ground, the last bit of his spirit energy had been used, Chu Tian felt a bit of dizziness, he quickly pulled out a bottle of medicine to drink.

Cia Die and Xiang Hu blankly looked at each other.

"You really killed him?"

"Bai Zimo's older brother is an Awakened Soul Realm Cultivator, he is very famous in the black market, if he dies I'm afraid we'll be……"

Chu Tian looked at them as he said. "You guys are too innocent. This fellow betrays people without blinking an eye, you think once he goes back, nothing would happen to me? Since it's like this, I might as well kill him!"

The two of them stared.

That's right!

With this kind of person, if they lived they would bring a disaster!

Chu Tian rested for a few minutes, "The Yin Corpses nearby are increasing! Quickly let's leave!"

Today the Yin Corpse Valley was not normal, large quantities of Yin Corpse were awakening, inexplicably waking up, the number of Yin Corpses increased as the situation became even more wild.

But, even though the quantity of Yin Corpses increased, they did not meet another hundred year old corpse.

The whole road, there were many surprises but no real danger.

When dusk arrived, the three of them had reached their destination, Chu Tian finally saw the legendary black market.
