Chapter 4

In the next few days, Wang Shan unexpectedly and smoothly took over the Chen family's ten mu of spirit fields, but, as he had anticipated, the spirit fields were damaged enough to piss him off.

However, in the face of the jade spirit liquid, the Chen family's little schemes obviously came to nothing.

Of the family's spirit fields, one third, Wang Shan again planted spirit seeds; this time the spirit seeds planted are called Spirit Blood Branch, which can replenish human qi and blood.

In these days, besides relying on harvesting Spirit Blood Branch twigs to replenish Spirit Plant Points again, Wang Shan's cultivation broke through two levels again, which was somewhat unexpected for him.

What's more unexpected is that Chen Tianfeng, after returning, was surprisingly quiet, and not even anyone from the Wan Family came as he had imagined.

"Such quietness must hide some sinister scheme; we still need to be careful."

Inside the courtyard, Wang Shan held in his hand a bluish-gray regularly shaped stone.

This is the spirit stone, which contains natural spiritual qi; it can be used for cultivation and also as an energy source, extremely rare.

This time Zhi Che went to Heitu City; those spiritual herbs only got exchanged for twenty lower-grade spirit stones.

At the four corners of the Wang family residence, they placed snake spirit grass, heavenly immortal powder, and other spiritual herbs and powders; then they inserted one spirit stone at each corner of the residence; as the final spirit stone was inserted into the central area, waves of spiritual qi rose above the Wang family residence, and finally a spirit shield like an inverted bowl covered the entire residence.

Inside the residence, Wang Shan only felt that his spiritual qi throughout his body had become much more active.

"This Misty Spirit Gathering Array is interesting; it can both serve as a Misty Array and gather surrounding spiritual qi, and cultivation speed inside will increase considerably."

The array is now complete; Wang Shan let out a slight sigh of relief; at least the family's basic protection is secured.

Looking out the door, Zhi Ze has been gone to Heitu City for three days and hasn't returned yet; there shouldn't be anything wrong.

They waited until nightfall, and finally he returned.

Wang Zhize was extremely excited; as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help sharing the good news with Wang Shan.

"Dad! Xuan Qing has made it! Because of his outstanding talent, the academy took notice; the Vice Dean of the outer court wants to take him as a disciple, to have him cultivate, and in a few days they will try to awaken his spirit for him!"

The so-called spirit awakening is to draw spiritual qi into the body; once successful, the Wang family will have another cultivator appear.

Wang Shan raised his eyebrows and laughed: "The Heavenly Confucian Academy is a supreme existence; whether resources or foundation, even the Wan Family must look up to it. Good! Good!"

After the joy, Wang Shan furrowed his brows and said: "However, the Chen family has been too quiet these days; I faintly feel uneasy. I have set up a protective array on the residence; you can rest easy, no need to wait for me."

"Dad, are you going out?"

"Yeah, go to the Chen family to see what they're up to; with Chen Tianfeng that old bastard's character, it's impossible for him to honestly take this loss."

"Okay, Dad, be careful!"

The night was dark and windy; Wang Shan changed into nightclothes and headed south all the way.

Half an hour later.

Wang Shan squatted on the tree trunk, looking down from above at a stretch of the Chen family's residence in the distance.

Roughly counting, the connected Chen family residence has at least thirty-four rooms, many showing signs of recent construction.

Just as he was about to get closer and enter the Chen family's residence, a sound of footsteps made him stop.

Only two figures cloaked in black robes were seen, almost blending with the night; if not already cultivators, it would be hard to notice their presence.

"What a strong aura! Who are these two? Judging by this aura, they are at least at Body Refining Eighth Layer; what a strong sense of oppression!"

Wang Shan's face turned solemn; could they be from the Wan Family?

The other party's steps were small and light, going straight to the Chen family's main gate; immediately someone opened the door to come out and greet.

It was indeed Chen Tianfeng.

Looking at his bowing and scraping posture, Wang Shan muttered about the two's origins.

After those two entered, Wang Shan rose, covered his face, using the night's concealment to tail them and leap into the Chen family's residence.

The two black-robed people, led by Chen Tianfeng, entered a side room; Wang Shan pressed against the wall, stopping at the doorway.

Inside the room.

The two lifted their black robes, revealing the faces underneath.

Strangely, both of their faces were covered with strange black patterns; one of them even had brown scales growing on his face!

Chen Tianfeng stood trembling on one side, speaking humbly: "Two sirs, I don't know why you've come; what are your orders?"

One of them spoke, voice hoarse and sharp, with a faint thunderous rumble: "Chen family head, congratulations. Our family head recently killed a Qing Tian Magic Wolf and successfully crafted a pair of Qing Tian Magic Wolf Claws; the family head has decided to initiate the Myriad Beast Method, transplanting this precious pair of Qing Tian Magic Wolf Claws onto Chen Dao's body; with these claws, his cultivation will surely advance further."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianfeng's eyes filled with surprise and joy: "Did the Wan Family head agree? Thank you! Thank you for your help!"

"Don't rush to thank yet, Chen family head; although the Myriad Beast Method is powerful, the risk is not small. To maximize the retention of the Qing Tian Magic Wolf Claws' power, the family head has sealed their souls within the claws; however, the Qing Tian Magic Wolf is innately ferocious and loves to eat humans, so at least the innate blood and qi of a hundred virgin girls are needed to counteract its ferocity; you know what to do, so I won't spell it out."

Listening to that person's light-hearted words, Chen Tianfeng lowered his head, his eyes flickering.

"Sirs, I already had people abduct a number of virgin girls and send them over; if we now try to find a hundred virgin girls, once discovered……"

"This is your matter; if you don't want your grandson to become stronger, I can report to the family head." That person said coldly.

"No…… I didn't mean that……"

Chen Tianfeng gritted his teeth in secret; these two actually used public authority for private gain, coming after him!

Using this pretext to satisfy their own disgusting fetish!

Looking at Chen Tianfeng's hesitant appearance, the two exchanged a glance, then softened their tone: "Of course, if the Chen family head needs any help from us, we would also be willing to lend a hand."

Upon hearing that, Chen Tianfeng changed his hesitant attitude: "I'll think of a way to get the hundred virgin girls; I've just run into a difficulty lately."

Chen Tianfeng exaggeratedly recounted the matters with the Wang family, adding embellishments, essentially not putting the Wan family in his eyes at all, etc.

Outside the door, Wang Shan listened to this whole conversation, feeling his scalp go numb.

"Transplanting a demon beast's organ into a human body? What kind of operation is this; it's simply an affront to heaven and harmony!"

"That old bastard Chen Tianfeng is also inhuman; he's actually adding fuel to the fire!"

"Since the Chen family head needs help, we two naturally are happy to lend a hand. In that case, we two will stay over and impose for the night; tomorrow we will head to the Wang family to relieve the Chen family head's worries."

"Okay, okay, the guest rooms are ready; please, gentlemen."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shan hurriedly slipped out of the Chen family's residence.

However, just as he had climbed over the wall, a harsh shout came from behind, and simultaneously a strong stabbing pain made him instinctively dodge.

"Who goes there?"

After a fierce shout, a black dagger whistled past, leaving a bloodstain on his waist.

Two figures appeared like ghosts, suddenly blocking Wang Shan's path.

"Friend, you appeared here furtively—give an explanation!"
