Protagonist:

Yu Zhangsheng

What do you mean by that grandson of Wang Donghai?

Yu Zhangsheng always felt this Second Elder was finding creative ways to curse someone, and doing so without leaving any opening for rebuttal.

On the surface he spoke of Wang Mie, but in reality he was talking about Wang Donghai.

"Cough, cough, many thanks for Second Elder's concern; this junior is already without serious harm."

Chen Pingzhen nodded and said: "Good that there's nothing wrong, good that there's nothing wrong."

"Calling you here this time holds no other meaning; the main purpose is simply to see how your injuries are."

"Someone, bring the healing pills prepared earlier."

Soon a maidservant presented a jade tray bearing several pills exuding a rich medicinal fragrance.

Yu Zhangsheng immediately said: "Second Elder need not go to such trouble; Yu's injuries have long since recovered for the most part, and this is also thanks to the Saintess's gift."

"How can I now accept such great grace again?"

"Sigh, no matter. This is simply what you deserve; anything our Chen Family has exerted effort on, we always treat with the most generous terms, never shortchanging anyone."

"Accept it."

Chen Xueqing also reminded from the side.

Seeing this, Yu Zhangsheng no longer stood on ceremony; after expressing thanks, he put the pills away.

Only then did Chen Pingzhen nod in satisfaction.

"Heh, as long as the injuries on your body are no concern. This time, you were ambushed by Wang Mie in full public view and brought to this state; my Chen Family will absolutely help you vent this grievance!"

"Do you want to retaliate in return?"

Yu Zhangsheng fell briefly silent, glanced at Chen Xueqing, then said: "I defer entirely to Second Elder's judgment; if necessary, this junior is willing to consider the greater picture."

Chen Pingzhen raised a hand instead: "Sigh, what 'consider the greater picture' — this kind of stifling anger, my Chen Family has never swallowed!"

"You need not have any reservations; as long as you wish it, my Chen Family will naturally support you with full force!"

Yu Zhangsheng also heard the implication; it seemed Chen Pingzhen clearly also wanted to take this opportunity to move against Wang Mie's household.

"I wonder how Second Elder plans to have this junior act? This junior will obey your orders completely!"

Chen Pingzhen laughed heartily: "Of course it's to win back face!"

"Two days from now is the day the Secret Realm closes completely, and also the day Hai Shou Tian Dao holds the Secret Realm Main Hall closing ceremony."

"At that time, I need you to appear, and have the Grand Elder uphold justice for you! Do you dare?"

Yu Zhangsheng immediately cupped his fists: "What is there not to dare!"

"As long as Second Elder is willing to support this junior, this junior will naturally fight to reclaim justice for myself!"

"Good! Excellent!"

"Granddaughter, go fetch the treasure and give it to him."

"Yes."

Chen Xueqing took a jade pendant from her bosom and handed it into Yu Zhangsheng's hand.

"This object is a magic treasure refined by my Chen Family's Refining Device Master; it can withstand a full-power strike from a Void Refining expert."

"Although it can only be used once, after which it will completely lose its function."

"Yet it can preserve your life at the critical moment. When the time comes, my Chen Family will naturally act to protect you."

Yu Zhangsheng immediately accepted it: "Many thanks, Second Elder."

Second Elder waved his hand: "Alright, you may withdraw first; I'm also a bit tired."

"Yes."

After Yu Zhangsheng left the room, Chen Pingzhen turned his head to look at Chen Xueqing.

"Xueqing, you did well this time. Although Lin Tianhao and Lu Chengfeng have not yet emerged from the Secret Realm."

"Judging from the gains obtained from Leng Xu and Wang Mie, you have an eight or nine out of ten chance of securing final victory; well done!"

Chen Xueqing immediately smiled: "Granddaughter only didn't want Grandfather to be saddened, so she has gone all out."

"Plus Yu Zhangsheng supported granddaughter with full effort along the way, which enabled this final result."

Chen Pingzhen couldn't help glancing toward the doorway: "That Yu Zhangsheng is indeed not bad."

"With no backing behind him, yet able to reach his current stage; previously exterminating pirates, he also won against the strong as the weak, earning ample reputation."

"Able to turn the impossible into possible — truly a rare talent."

"With such a person assisting you, I can also rest much easier!"

Chen Xueqing lowered her head, pressed her lips together, and smiled softly: "Grandfather jokes; this person is not one willing to remain beneath others for long."

"Sooner or later he will also leave Hai Shou Tian Dao and go elsewhere."

On the Main Street, Yu Zhangsheng was just preparing to return to his residence when, at a corner, he was suddenly bumped by someone.

That person offered an apology, then hurried away.

But Yu Zhangsheng's hand now held an additional message talisman.

Yu Zhangsheng watched the person gradually depart, disappearing into the crowd, and couldn't help wondering who this person actually was.

With so many people and eyes here, Yu Zhangsheng did not rush to examine the object in his hand; rather, after returning to his residence, he took it out to inspect.

The contents inside consisted of only a few lines of small characters.

"Plan accomplished; be careful recently."

Yu Zhangsheng directly destroyed the message talisman in his hand, turning it into a scattering of flying ash.

This letter was clearly handed over by Wang Mie.

"It seems the situation with Wang Mie has developed exactly as anticipated; that old thing Wang Donghai is truly going to make a move against me."

Since even Wang Mie is in such a state, Yu Zhangsheng dares even less to go out casually.

Before that Secret Realm Grand Ceremony ends, he also does not plan to leave this place again.

Happening to take advantage of these two days' time, Yu Zhangsheng can also check the harvest from inside that secret realm.

Yu Zhangsheng set up a simple formation nearby, used to block outside probing.

After waiting for all this to be arranged, Yu Zhangsheng only then began to tally up this time's harvest.

This trip to the secret realm, the storage bags Yu Zhangsheng obtained piled up into a small hill.

They were mainly the storage bags left behind by those Da Sheng Clan people.

Yu Zhangsheng also only roughly checked through them once; the majority were some ordinary materials and pills and the like.

There was nothing worth noting.

But it still counted as letting Yu Zhangsheng make a big profit; even if these materials were sold, they would be worth a considerable sum, after all the quantity was there.

Subsequently, Yu Zhangsheng took out that green gemstone.

This gemstone was the green gemstone Yu Zhangsheng encountered inside Dead Wind Xia Gu.

Clutched in the hand of a skeleton at death, it must be extraordinary.

Yu Zhangsheng roughly examined it; just from the exterior, nothing could be discerned.

And Yu Zhangsheng also used magic power to probe the entire green gemstone.

Discovering this green gemstone's reaction to magic power was extremely intense; the slightest magic power entering would emit a burst of light.

Yu Zhangsheng increased the magic power transport, yet still could not fill this green gemstone's magic power bearing limit.

This instead aroused Yu Zhangsheng's curiosity.

Such a tiny little stone, its capacity for magic power is actually this large?

Generally speaking, the magic power capacity inside a small spirit stone, even a Qi Refining Period disciple could easily fill. Yet this green gemstone's size is even smaller than an ordinary spirit stone, yet can bear this much magic power.

Sufficient to explain this gemstone's extraordinary nature.

"Hehe, this is somewhat interesting."

Yu Zhangsheng accelerated the release of magic power; unexpectedly this green gemstone was like a dried-up sea.

No matter how much magic power Yu Zhangsheng input, it accepted it all without missing a drop.

Soon, Yu Zhangsheng's magic power had already been mostly consumed.

This green gemstone also only glowed faintly, still not filled.

Such a strange situation has completely exceeded the bearing limit of normal artifact-refining materials.

Yu Zhangsheng immediately realized, this absolutely is not this gemstone's original characteristic; otherwise it would absolutely be impossible to have such a vast capacity.

"Impressive, impressive. Didn't expect to actually pick up a treasure in that canyon."

Yu Zhangsheng sighed in admiration, attempting to control the magic power inside that green gemstone.

Yet discovered to his surprise, the magic power inside this green gemstone could actually be mobilized by him!

Even able to directly absorb it back into his own body, and the speed was not slow at all.

This is doubtless equivalent to a magic power storage place, for him to draw upon at any time.

"This object, also don't know where it should be used. But also need it to be useful at critical moments."

Yu Zhangsheng also counts as understanding this green gemstone's function.

This green gemstone has an extraordinarily large magic power capacity, can store nearly vast amounts of magic power.

With Yu Zhangsheng's current cultivation base, even if he poured all his body's magic power into it, it would likely still be difficult to reach even one-tenth of this green gemstone's magic power capacity.

And Yu Zhangsheng only needs to store magic power inside, then can draw upon it anytime at will.

Even in places where spiritual Qi is scarce or even completely absent, can also recover his own magic power.

"No matter how you say it, there is still some use, and this thing might have other uses in the future."

Yu Zhangsheng fiddled with the green gemstone in his hand.

"This object can store magic power, and is a piece of green gemstone, might as well just call it Biling Stone."

After fiddling with the Biling Stone in his hand for a while, Yu Zhangsheng put it away.

Temporarily not planning to immediately fill this thing's magic power, planning to do it slowly later.

Subsequently, Yu Zhangsheng began to organize those spirit beast remains.

These spirit beast remains were all the messy spirit beast remains obtained from the secret realm.

Almost all were Fourth Rank and Third Rank spirit beast remains.

After slightly classifying them, Yu Zhangsheng filled three storage bags full before organizing all the remains.

Putting away the three storage bags, Yu Zhangsheng also summoned his greatest harvest from this secret realm trip.

That is the Holy Seed Spirit Beast, Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast.

This Holy Seed Spirit Beast has not yet hatched, merely in a pupa state.

Whole body pitch-black, with purple patterns, body surface trembling rhythmically, as if breathing.

Yu Zhangsheng placed his hand on that pupa, probing slightly.

This pupa also had no reaction whatsoever.

Right now, this Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast has already become Yu Zhangsheng's spirit beast, and already has a connection with him.

But the Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast still cannot fully communicate with Yu Zhangsheng, can only transmit a simple message to Yu Zhangsheng.

Yu Zhangsheng's words, it also cannot fully understand.

And now, the only message the Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast conveyed to Yu Zhangsheng was a single one: it hoped to be able to hatch.

Yu Zhangsheng placed his hand on the chrysalis, slightly exerting his magical power, wanting to input it into the chrysalis to accelerate its hatching.

However, this idea of Yu Zhangsheng's was soon terminated by him, because no matter how he input his magical power, the Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast's chrysalis showed no reaction at all, rejecting all his magical power outside.

Clearly, ordinary methods simply could not hatch it.

Yu Zhangsheng wanted to ask just how long it would take for this Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast to naturally hatch out.

The message the Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast conveyed to Yu Zhangsheng was also very simple: it did not know.

"Sigh, looks like this little guy also doesn't know when it will be able to hatch out; looks like the time is still long."

Thinking again that the Ancient Longgong was a sect from who knows how many years ago.

When the Ancient Longgong declined, it also had a history of no less than ten thousand years.

It is very possible that at that time, the Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast was already in a chrysalis state.

For such a long time, the Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast has not naturally hatched.

Yu Zhangsheng estimated that in a short time he would be unable to see this Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast hatch.

Wanting to accelerate this process, he estimated he could only think of other methods.

Suddenly, Yu Zhangsheng also thought: Xuan Turtle Senior's Shen Yi is a Half-Holy Seed; he probably also knows some relevant information.

So he immediately released the Xuan Turtle.

The Xuan Turtle shrank to a size of less than one meter, and after noticing the Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast's chrysalis beside Yu Zhangsheng.

It also instantly widened its eyes.

"Didn't expect you actually really subdued this Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast."

Yu Zhangsheng said with a bitter smile: "It was also just a coincidence of good luck."

"However, this Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast for some reason turned into this state; in a short time I'm afraid it cannot hatch."

"Don't know if Xuan Turtle Senior has any method?"

Xuan Turtle said: "With a Saint Seed bloodline Shen Yi, wanting to hatch it is naturally very troublesome."

"Currently, the hatching methods I know of are only three."

"There are actually three, so many?"

After hearing this, Yu Zhangsheng's eyes instantly brightened, and he hurriedly asked: "Please, Xuan Turtle Senior, teach me."

Xuan Turtle also did not conceal anything, speaking at length: "These three methods are also very troublesome."

"The first is to let it continuously absorb treasures such as crystals and spirit stones containing Eternal Night or Dark attribute laws; this method can accelerate the condensation of the Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast's own laws."

"Once the laws form, it will naturally hatch out."

"The second is to absorb the corpses of fierce beasts possessing Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast bloodline; the Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast has a Saint Seed bloodline Shen Yi, and is even a Spirit Beast Daoneng that existed tens of thousands of years ago."

"Its descendant bloodlines by now are estimated to be already quite thin, and the quantity is also very scarce. But even if it's just a little bit, it is enough to let the current Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast gain huge benefits."

"Therefore, just using the flesh and blood of these corpses possessing Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast bloodline to nurture it can naturally also let it hatch quickly."

"The third is to have a strange beast possessing Half-Saint or Divine Beast rank continuously use Yuan Qi to nurture it; this method, to say it's difficult it's difficult, to say it's simple it's simple."

"Yet it is also the most time-consuming and laborious method, but also the easiest to obtain method."

"The three methods can be stacked; each one used can speed up its hatching."

After hearing this, Yu Zhangsheng also had a headache; these three methods, except for the third, the other two he simply had no clue about at all.

But thinking of the benefits after hatching this Eternal Night Evil Chi Beast, Yu Zhangsheng immediately regained his fighting spirit.

"Xuan Turtle Senior, it seems before this junior finds the first two methods, I can only rely on Senior's assistance first." (Chapter End)
