Yunxiao smiled, and his lips moved slightly as he sent his voice directly into Qian Duoduo’s ear. After hearing what he said, the nine-stars Martial King’s serious expression turned into ecstasy instantly. He rushed over like a madman and grabbed Yunxiao’s shoulders while screaming excitedly, “Give me! Give me the complete Broken Moon Scroll!”
Yunxiao lightly wrenched free of his hands, then pointed a finger at Meng Wu and said, “Go there and fill out a registration form. I’ll send someone to get you when I’ve gone through it.” After saying that, he turned and walked back into the mansion, leaving Qian Duoduo behind, who froze on the spot with a blank face.
“Register, I want to register!” Qian Duoduo roared and bolted over to Meng Wu. “Give me a registration form!”
That gave Meng Wu a fright. She wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and quickly handed the man a form.
The warriors in the distance looked at each other, bewildered. But, someone sprung into action very soon, rushing up while shouting, “What are you waiting for? Let’s register now! Even a nine-stars Martial King has registered!”
Suddenly, there was another frenzy of registration, and every person came with a good attitude; no one was arrogant or unbridled. Who dared to be arrogant or unbridled when even a nine-stars Martial King had to fill out a registration form and wait for approval?
Inside the City Lord Mansion, everyone looked at Yunxiao and Ji Meng in amazement.
With just a few words, Yunxiao had subdued a nine-stars Martial King. They were all very curious about that Broken Moon Scroll. And they were surprised to see Ji Meng, who was lying flat like a corpse a few days ago, but now had fully recovered and even broken through to the next level.
“There’s something wrong with that Qian Duoduo’s body. The Pure Sky pill is what can relieve his condition, and the Broken Moon Scroll can get rid of it completely,” said Yunxiao smilingly.
“No wonder!” That answered some of the doubts, but they still looked at Yunxiao like he was a monster. His ability to find out the secret of a nine-stars Martial King with a glance shocked them.
Listening to the noise outside, Li Chunyang frowned and said, “We have too many people signing up. Yanwu is a merchant city, so how do you plan to accommodate these people, Yunxiao? Expand the city?”
“We have to expand the city for sure, but not now. I have a place to accommodate them for the time being. Yes, they are many, but some are good and some are bad. They need to be trained before we can use them.”
Everyone was slightly surprised, wondering how he would accommodate so many people. But, they did not bother themselves to ask, for it was normal for Yunxiao’s words and deeds to go beyond their comprehension.
Ji Meng thought of the space inside the Divine Realm Tablet. Although he had only briefly glanced at it, he had guessed it was a separated space that was large enough to accommodate ten or even a hundred times more people. The only thing that they needed to worry about was the cultivation resources for these people.
He did not know about the energy-absorbing array though, and the fact that the Primordial Qi within several thousand miles around Yanwu was being constantly channeled into the pagoda even now, the simple building that was just a camouflage for the Divine Realm Tablet.
“Uncle Chen, please call my dad, Hong Bing, and Commander Hong here.” Chen Dasheng went off briskly at Yunxiao’s order. Although he was the youngest here, everyone had taken him as the leader.
“At present, Yanwu lacks high-end combat forces. For Martial Kings, we only have Xiao Qingwang and my grandfather, and this witless beast. I will mainly focus on improving your strength next. That Qian Duoduo is also a nine-stars Martial King. If he is reliable and trustworthy, I plan to help Qingwang and him advance into the realm of Martial Grandmasters in the shortest possible time.”
“Martial Grandmasters!” Xiao Qingwang’s eyes lit up, but then they dimmed down just as quickly. “I’ve just made a breakthrough, and I was stabilizing my cultivation base in the past few days,” he said with a wry smile. “It takes at least half to one year to advance to the next level within the Martial King realm, and longer still to the next major realm. It will take me at least another five to ten years of accumulation, and a stroke of luck to make that breakthrough.”
Darkthunder snorted, as if it knew Yunxiao had just called it a witless beast.
“Five to ten years?” Yunxiao glared at him. “I say five to ten days. You don’t have to worry about this part. I’ve planned out everything.”
Soon, Li Changfeng, Hong Bing, and Yian arrived. Apart from Yian, who was a nine-stars Great Martial Master, the rest of the people present were all Martial Lords or above.
Yunxiao said, “All of you here are the strongest combat forces and inner members of Yanwu. I have no doubt about your loyalty. Although we have recruited two Martial Lords this time, they are excluded from the inner circle for the time being because I haven’t found out more about their background. Now, I want you to relax and not resist my divine sense.”
As he said that, he performed an incantation gesture with one hand. A divine sense blanketed the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, they were all transferred into the Divine Realm Tablet.
His divine sense could communicate with the tablet and allow him to enter it anytime, as long as they were within a few hundred meters from each other.
Everyone was stunned when they opened their eyes and saw a bright clear sky and sensed the rich Primordial Qi in the air.
“A spiritual independent space?” Luo Yunshang said with shock. As someone who came from Shenxiao Temple, she was more knowledgeable than others, so she immediately understood what this place was. And, she was more shocked than anyone else, because she knew every spiritual independent space was a heaven-defying existence which could not be controlled by an ordinary warrior.
‘It must be! That man must be supporting him in the dark!’ At the thought of that, Luo Yunshang clenched her fists and her body shivered in excitement.
“Yes, this is a spiritual independent space. But Teacher Yunshang, do you have to be so excited until your cheeks are all red?” said Yunshang in surprise.
“Shut your mouth, Li Yunxiao!”
That frightened Yunxiao and made him swallow the words he was about to say. He was a little confused by her reaction. In his previous life, he was not a man without women, but he could never understand them.
“How many more good things do you have, boy?” said Li Chunyang in amazement. “But…why do I find this place familiar?”
‘Of course, you will find this place familiar, because it was the Li family’s treasury.’ He did not tell his grandfather the truth though, but just smiled and said, “We are inside a mystic artifact I haven’t fully refined. I’ve constructed an energy-absorbing array under Yanwu, and it will constantly draw the Primordial Qi within a thousand miles around the city here. Sooner or later, the whole area except this place will be depleted of Primordial Qi. But, this is only temporary.”
“An energy-absorbing array!” The crowd was taken aback. Although they had never heard of it before, they could imagine how heaven-defying it was from the fact that it could absorb the Primordial Qi within a thousand miles around.
“When the time comes, I’ll let the warriors who join us cultivate here. The Primordial Qi in this place will grow stronger and stronger as the array keeps running. Together with the various medicinal pills and mystic weapons I have asked Master Zhang Qingfan and others to prepare, I’m confident that I can double everyone’s strength in a very short period. As for you all, come with me!”
With a single-handed incantation gesture, the scene around them transformed again. This time, they went directly into the cavern where Ji Meng was healed. Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han had left from that plaec earlier.
Looking at all the shocked faces, Yunxiao did not explain in detail but just said lightly, “This is the heart of the energy-absorbing array, which is also the place with the richest Primordial Qi. You will cultivate here.”
Apart from Ji Meng, everyone was too shocked to speak as they sensed the abundant Primordial Qi in the cavern. Meanwhile Darkthunder, who seemed to be very sensitive to the changes in Primordial Qi, jumped around happily and looked extremely excited.
There was a surprised look on Yian’s face as he said, “I’ve recently felt my bottleneck. If I can cultivate here, I’m sure I will make a breakthrough soon!”
Yunxiao smiled and said, “Primordial Qi has just begun to gather and accumulate here, and it will only grow stronger and stronger. Be prepared.”
Hong Bing was the commander of Yanwu’s City Guards. He was not familiar with Yunxiao, so he was surprised and curious to see so many experts following his new superior. And now, the City Lord even allowed him into such a magical place and announced that he was one of Yanwu’s inner members. That filled his heart with excitement.
After settling them, Yunxiao came to Mount Inch with a blink. When he saw the alchemists refining excitedly, he chuckled and said to himself, “It’s time to refine Nine Orifices pills.”
With a thought in his mind, he sent out his divine will. Both Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han immediately stopped their work and came to him.
“Nine Orifices pills!”
Xu Han seemed to have thought of something, and he said shockingly, “Is it the legendary fourth-tier medicinal pill that can make a warrior below the realm of Martial Kings forcibly break through his current realm?”
“Yes, you are right. But, this pill has a serious side effect. As its name implies, one has to break through nine orifices before one can forcibly break through. There is a high risk involved, and it takes at least the cultivation base of a Martial Lord to resist the backlash.”
“If that is the case, why are you…”
“Haha! My physical strength has already reached the level of a Martial Lord. I can take one to two pills without any problem.”
“One to two pills…”
Yunxiao smiled. “I know the pill’s character very well, so don’t worry. I was not confident in refining it, but I have your help now. And as we are inside the pill pagoda and with the Cauldron of Five Elements I’ve recently obtained, I’m almost one hundred percent sure I can refine it.”
Zhang Qingfan said in surprise, “The Nine Orifices pill is considered the strongest fourth-tier medicinal pill. If Master Yunxiao let us refine it together with you, I’m sure it will provide great help to our understanding of the fourth-tier of alchemy.”
“Please come with me.” Yunxiao glanced about and chose a large array in the mountain before flying toward it.
Yunxiao smiled, and his lips moved slightly as he sent his voice directly into Qian Duoduo’s ear. After hearing what he said, the nine-stars Martial King’s serious expression turned into ecstasy instantly. He rushed over like a madman and grabbed Yunxiao’s shoulders while screaming excitedly, “Give me! Give me the complete Broken Moon Scroll!”
