 Chapter 1 - Rebirth! (Proofread by Piratemonkey01)

    Well known for their prophecy readings. The Baran Village is the place where all the divine instruction lands before being given out to different Kingdoms and continent as their guidance.

    Once again, the Village Chief, Sir Baran Almant XXV, is communicating with the stars and the Divinity regarding the prophecies that were meant to be passed towards the mortal world.

    After making the emissaries from the 16 different continents wait for 20 days, Sir Baran finally came down from his Star Grazing Pagoda, bringing along with him a prophecy that reads as below:

    "In the next Alignment of Sun and Moon Season, one child will be born when the lightning strikes. This child will be the hope to unite the 16 continents."

    "But unfortunately, the star does not reveal the whereabouts of this child will be born."

    "Perhaps this is the will of the Stars."

    Unite the 16 Continents.

    As the emissaries and envoys from the16 continents heard this sentence, all of them were shocked with this divine reading.

    Requesting to be excused from the Village Chief residence, all 16 emissaries immediately returned to the respective continents, And a large scale search was conducted. Where all the pregnant women will be rewarded with a handsome amount of wealth as long the child is born while lightning strikes.

    While some of the rulers pass laws that restrict pregnant women from venturing out of their city, some rulers demanded that all childbirths are to be reported and registered immediately. Failure to comply would deem them traitors and the family would immediately be executed.

    Meanwhile, in a small hut located within the forest of Slimes, cries from a newborn child can be heard while the father is busy transferring internal energy to replenish the mother''s fatigue after birth. As the couple smiled happily for their first child to be born, the infant is crying extremely loud for a short moment and fell asleep soon after he was fed with the mother''s breast milk.

    "Congratulations Mr. Wayne!"

    "The Child is a Boy, and he is very energetic and healthy!"

    "Wayne, What should we Name this child ?"

    "I have thought about it for a long time... Let us give our child the name Altima!"

    "Altima, That''s a good Name."

    "Hmm ??"

    As the couple talked, a sudden movement was seen from Altima, who seemed to be struggling with something trying to crawl out of his mouth. As the couple held their Child tightly, a small scarlet colored Slime pops out from Altima''s mouth, and proceed to attach itself to Altima¡¯s wrist, and slowly changed into a sticky but elastic bracelet which couldn''t be destroyed no matter how hard Wayne tried.

    "Honey! Let''s ignore the Slime! It isn¡¯t harming him and Altima seems to like it."

    As Wayne release the wrist of Altima and slowly place the wrist down, the Bracelet shifted from scarlet color to Deep Blue, and slowly to Azure Colour once the slime felt it is not threatened. Noticing such changes happened on Altima''s wrist, the couple started to relax slightly as the slime had no intention to harm their child.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road.

    As time passes Altima quickly grew up. In the blink of an eye, Altima is already 3 years old. He grew up normally and was showed with love from both his parents. However, in Altima¡¯s mind something quite abnormal is happening.

    "This is the third year since I was reborn in this world"

    "I am Altima in this world and Matilda in my last."

    "I wonder what happened after I died?"

    Matilda was a tomboyish militant commando. She was tasked with assassinating important politicians who were marked by the Organization. During her last mission, she was tasked with assassinating a politician during his election. She, however, was in a tough situation due to a lack of information.

    In the middle of the assassination, she was attacked by a private military organization for her numerous kills on important politicians and other high-value targets. She was forced to then detonate the C4. She had however been betrayed and half off the C4 was faulty. After the explosion, she awoke as a male in a completely different world.

    In the middle of his assassination works, she had been placed in a situation where The Private Military organization is aiming to take her down, based on her Total records of 61 Kills on Important politicians and 15 Tyrants in their respective Country, as well as 2 Private military organization Head. With such excellent Records, thus Matilda brought herself into an inescapable situation where she is forced to Detonate the Truck she had filled with C4 Explosive.

    But unfortunately, Matilda have betrayed once again, where halves of the C4 Explosive are not up to its standard, which caused herself to be affected by the explosion itself. And when she awakes, She found out she actually had been rebirthed as a male, and in a much different World, she used to grow up and struggle for the last 30 years.

    In this world, from what he could learn from his parents talking, they live in the weakest of the 16 continents known as the Blue God continent. Altima parents are a couple of Hunters who get to known each other during one of their fateful encounters and falls in love after they had to flee the Green Wave Continent.

    When Altima¡¯s mother learned she was pregnant she lived in a city under siege. It was being assaulted by the Demon Tribe. After defending for 20 long days the city fell and all the residents fled. Altima¡¯s parents stopped and made their new lives in this, The Forest of a Thousand Insects, which seemed to be the safest place for them.

    During the three years of growth, Altima had received much love from his parents, where he was fed with abundant supplies of strengthening foods, such as Concentrated Clear Sky Honey from the Empress of Tiger Bees, the Meat from the Hundred Layer Centipede, which is believed to have an effect of strengthening the body and recovery rates. But the best would be the Seed from the Ten Thousand Lotus Pond, which only blooms once a month.

    As soon as Altima learned to walk he was forced to train. This was due to the constant dangers surrounding his home. Once when a new Empress of Tiger Bees was born, a swarm of been assaulted them. Altima¡¯s father was heavily injured and barely managed to survive.

    While for Altima, he had no complaints, after all, "She" used to be a martial artist, Assassin, Language Master, Politician, Blacksmith, tailor and Survival celebrity. In his current world self-defense and martial arts are some of the most important skills for any person, be it for female or male. The Cultivation stage is currently known to be divided into 8 Different Tiers, with 10 Stage in each tier.

    For starters, The Stage of Practitioner of Zen, which easily seen within the 16 continents, is reachable with mediocre talents. This is the Initial stage a practitioner would require to reach before they possess the quality to be recruited into the Army, or into the Different Sects or Clans to further Cultivate.

    Tier 1 - Early Practitioner of Zen

    Tier 2 - Warrior Practitioner of Zen

    Tier 3 - Master Practitioner of Zen

    Tier 4 - Spiritual Practitioner of Zen

    Tier 5 - Soul Practitioner of Zen

    Tier 6 - Dao Practitioner of Zen

    Tier 7 - King Practitioner of Zen

    Tier 8 - Emperor Practitioner of Zen

    After the Zen State, there is believed to be more stages, but Altima could not find any information on them.

    As he continued to practice the breathing Skills his father had taught him, A sudden change happened to the bracelet he had worn since birth, and the bracelet turned back into a slime and fell to the grass beneath him.

    "Finally! You have reached the level for me to return to this form!"

    "Hi Kid, I am your guardian! Call me Mobi, the Universe Slime!"

 Chapter 2 - Mobi, The Rare Universe Slime

    "So, What they call you in this life ? Altima ?"

    "What is with your Shocked face ? I am by your side for 3 years! 3 Silent years because you took your own sweet time to Cultivate until you reach the requirement to had me active from my Idle Mode!"

    "Anyway, as I''ve said, I''m Mobi, your Guardian. Do you still remember your Past ?"

    "Yes, i do.", Answered Altima.

    "If in that case, its means that your Road to cultivate the Dao of Universe are still Opened.", Mobi Continued.

    As Mobi Explained himself thoroughly, Altima finally remember the incident happened during his/her rebirth. Due to the Gate of Wandering Soul is attacked by a group of Tortured Soul Remnants, a population of about 50,000 numbers of Wandering Ghost are captured and been Eaten, absorbed and digested into the Essence of Hell, which strengthens the Tortured Soul, thus allowing them to ran amok within the Gate.

    In the middle of fights between both side, Altima is drawn in between the fight, but manage to protect himself from being digested alongside with the other wandering ghost. Thus through his capability in handling the Fight, the Lord of Hell, Yama decided to reward Altima with a chance to cultivate the Dao of Universe.

    Dao of Universe, which more well known as the Yin Yang, are the primary form of Cultivation, which been passed along since eons ago, which branch out to be more than a million of Variations of cultivating techniques. The closer the Cultivation Technique to Dao of Universe, the higher the hope for the Mortals to Reach a Soul Departing Stage, which allows them to leave their mortal body and form a God Soul, Thus ascending as a god.

    Unfortunately, Before Altima is delivered to the World where the Hell suppose to delegate him to, The Bridges holding the Portals falls and broken apart, resulting Altima to be delivered to this World of 16 Continent, or more known as the World of Rumanian. For Altima, This World of Rumanian would be similar to the mixture of fairy tales, Folklore, and Legendary stories or the imaginative world in her previous life.

    "Hey! Stop Dreaming!", Mobi gave Altima a Face Attack, waking him from daydreaming.

    "If you are planning to be an Immortal, you should be starting to Train 10x more than your current Pace now!"

    "How do I train when i only 3 years old now ?", Altima replied Mobi''s Word.

    "This is why I am here together with you!", Mobi shouted on Altima and gave him another Face Attack.

    Through Direct Interface, Altima finally notice Mobi''s Usefulness by his side. Mobi, as his guardian, is miraculously a Spatial Storage Being, as well as his AI support in this world. During the few Years Altima is growing up, Mobi even has Altima status, Traits, Strength and Weaknesses listed within his AI interface. Through Consuming, Scanning and Research which could be done automatically or manually, Mobi currently have around 20 Different Kind of Food, Item, Beast and Cultivation Technique Records within Its body for Altima use anytime.

    "So, What path should i be taking for now ?", Altima asked Mobi a question.

    "You are still too weak, although you have unlocked your Road to the Dao of Universe, you''re still required to Cultivate your technique so you could reach the Mortal Ascension Stage, to leave your Mortal body and Form a God soul. Since you have nothing but one Cultivation Technique passed on from your parents, lets Start by practicing and master this skill first!" Mobi Explained in one Breath.

    "I had revised and adjusted this Cultivation Technique (Sturdy Body of Zen Practitioner), to suits you in your practice, come and Receive this information into your dumb head!", Said Mobi, while looking all Haughty.

    If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

    Immediately, Altima start Memorizing and practice the newly revised version of the Sturdy Body of Zen. This Cultivation Technique is the most basic Skill, Which could be practiced by any Zen Stage practitioner into 4th Tier before they are required to Upgrade their Body Enhancing Technique to suit themselves after they broke through the 5th Tier. But as this New version is an Upgraded and perfected Version, Altima could fully utilize this Skill to at least Early of Tier 6 before he required to look for another better version of the Body of Zen Skills.

    Currently, Altima is in the 2nd Stage of the Early Practitioner of Zen Tier. Which usually could be seen in kids among the age between 3 to 6 years old. To be called as a talented individual, Altima required to reach at least 5th Stage in the Early Practitioner of Zen Tier before 10 years old, Breakthrough the Warrior Practitioner of Zen Tier before age 15, and Reach Stage 5 in Warrior Practitioner of Zen Tier before age 18.

    It is believed that even the weakest military troops within the continent have a minimum of 1st Stage of Warrior Practitioner of Zen Stage. Which could easily be seen that how important the cultivation is within this land of 16 Continents. As Altima continue with his Body Enhancement Technique, a voice could be heard, stating that his mother is trying to get him home to prepare for their dinner.

    "Mobi Brother, Do you Eat ?", Altima Asked Mobi.

    "What do you think ? I''m a Universe Slime, I don''t Eat Low-Class Foods.", Mobi replied slightly with some foul mood and turned into a bracelet again while latched on Altima''s Wrist.

    When Altima reach home, the Dinner was ready, as usual, the family of three started to gulp their Dinner until there is nothing left on the plate before Altima talked with his father, and learn the Basic Lesson from his mother. This progress daily, while during his own free playtime, Altima used his time to efficiently Cultivate. But due to the lack of concentration of Yang Essence within the forest, Altima Progress is slightly Held back for a gap.

    Although this gap is not visible to anyone, but to Altima himself, This gap means that his cultivation will be slower, where time is a waste for not being able to progress at his usual speed. But luckily due to Altima''s Father manage to hunt for a few strong in Yang Essence Beast, Altima still manage to obtain a sumptuous Yang Essence through Food alone. But as time Pass, Altima felt that he would require venturing slightly farther from his play zone to obtain some specific cultivation resources.

    During Altima 4th Birthday, His father manage to return from his Long Trip, and Presented 3 Pills to Altima as his Birthday Gift. After processed and scanned by Mobi, Altima gets to know that this 3 pill are the basic cultivation resources for the cultivators. Easily Obtained, but not as easy as one could imagine. Due to certain difficulties and ingredient required to be procured, This Pills usually provided only by the Military Constitution, Cultivators Sect, Noble Family Clans or perhaps some private establishments.

    The name for this pills is Balancing Zen Pill, which required at least 2 young stalks from Hanging Beanstalk Tree, which usually guarded by at least 2 to 3 Giant Ironclaw Mole. The Older the Stalk from the Hanging Beanstalk Tree will enhance the Effect from Balancing Zen Pill, but due to the limited produce from the Tree itself, added with the natural predator which guards the tree from time to time, The majority Balancing Pill available within the market is limited to only 20% to 25% Quality.

    Another important ingredient will be the Juice within the Stem of Powder Flower. This Stem could be only harvested upon maturity of the Powder Flower. Poisonous, and Deadly, this Powder Flower disperse and Easily airborne, traveling from one place to another, to Grow up among the Huge trees and soil anywhere. Although this Powder Flower killing rate is low, A number of 50 to 1,000 Death occurred yearly due to misconduct practice, or imperfect skills during harvest.

    And within this Forest of Thousand Insects, This resources is abundant, and easily found around during travels, but without the skill to handle either the Powder Poison or the Ironclaw Mole, one can only dream to earn through this literally scattered wealth. Even for Altima''s Father, he would be required to be in full preparation mode to efficient harvest both kind of Ingredient.

 Chapter 3 - What Do You Think I Am ?

    "Brother Mobi, Do you know how to Process the Ingredient into the Balancing Pills ?", Altima questions Mobi, trying to see how capable his guardian is.

    "Who Do you think i am ?!!", Mobi flashed and appear within Altima face, Giving him another critical strike of Face Attack.

    "I am well equipped with Upgrading, Enhancing, Scanning and remodel Skills! I can even Restructure and Recreate lost recipe of anything as long I know what it is!, Feel my godlike Ability!", Mobi starts to explain how amazing he is until he is shot with another question from Altima.

    "So, That''s means if you never see or scan the item before, you couldn''t come out with anything usable or Knowledgeable ?", Altima quickly shot his next question.

    "Impossible! I am mighty and can do everything!", Mobi Explain himself short this time and gone into the Idle bracelet mode.

    For the next few days, Altima take the initiative to Follow his father for the hunt for ingredients and foods. Although Wayne is Worried about his capability to protect his child, he still decided to bring Altima for at least once. As the Older generation says, " You can''t Keep Spoon feeding your child, he will need to learn about how to handle himself anyway".

    As the Father and Son readied to move out, Wayne wife bid them both safe journey, before slowly seeing both her son and Husband disappeared from her sight. While for Wayne and Altima, the Duo quickly journey along the forest, where after a total of 3 hours of walking, They finally reach one Shrub of Two Hanging Beanstalk Trees. From afar, a total of 3 Ironclaw Mole is seen sleeping below the Shrub of Grasses, while One more Younger Ironclaw Mole is seen running around.

    "Look at the Tree, The younger the Beanstalk, The lower they will be Growing from the tree. If in this case, base on this two trees, we could get a harvest of around 8 Young Beanstalk and 2 Adult Beanstalk from it. The higher the Beanstalk grows, the older they are, If you take a look clearly in the Second row of the branches with leaves around the Tree, there is at least 10 Adult Beanstalk and around 2 Old Beanstalk, but due to the heights, we can overlook this loss. Let us leave it to be eaten by the other Beast instead.

    Sometimes one loss will be another gain for us, that is why we can''t be too greedy in our harvesting. This Hanging beanstalk tree is the main source of food for Ironclaw Moles, which could provide us with some underground Mandrake roots sometimes due to the Mandrake is not part of their diet foods. While for the older Beanstalk, A flying beast which ranges from grade 4 early practitioner to grade 8 Early practitioner of Zen Tier, Treat it as part of their Digestion Diets.

    Through the Flying beast, Metal Beak Sparrow Droppings, we could easily obtain some rare treasures which are not digested in their stomach. Sometimes, some rare metal such as Liquid Iron, or Liquid Bronze could be obtained from the droppings. And also, a new Hanging Beanstalk Tree will grow from the spot they leave their droppings, so we could mark it and return after one to two years for some harvesting.

    Meanwhile, for the Ironclaw Mole, Try to not totally Kill off all three of them, but leave them either injured or one left, so they could slowly recover or repopulate again. The Hanging Beanstalk Tree natural Enemies is an Underground Snake name Essence Devouring Snake. Although this snake is weak, with the ability of only Stage 2 Early Practitioner of Zen, they possess a strong Urge of Completely Eating up the Hanging Beanstalk Tree Roots, which will cause the Beanstalk tree to decay after a short while without any roots to grown and absorb nutrient from.

    "Do you understand What I''m Explaining to you, my Child ?", Wayne checked on his son and notice that how smart his child is, to seem to understand and knows how to treat the natural resources they have.

    "I will go forward, look at how your father fight and harvest, as you get older, you will need to help your father with this task!", Wayne smiled and withdraw the glove which seems to have different Plating and Stones embedded within.

    As Wayne and the Ironclaw Mole met each other in eyes, Wayne immediately launch a series of Fist strike, added with a special footwork, which leaves the Ironclaw Mole failed to lay a hit on Wayne. Meanwhile, for Altima, He is shocked to see and recognise the footwork used by his father.

    "This is.. The Movement of Ancient Tomb Sect that I mastered during my early years!", Altima manages to Recognise few steps within his father movement and manages to deduce that Her father is either utilizing a Variation of the Movement skills of Ancient Tomb Sect or perhaps unrefined version.

    Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

    Meanwhile, for the Fist Style used by his father, would be a weaker variation of Kun Lun Sect (Ascending Dragon Fist). From the exchange of fist and claws between his father and the beast, Altima manage to deduce that his father most probably using only 2 Style instead of the Full 8 Style in the Ascending Dragon Fist Style.

    As the exchange goes for a total of 10 Rounds, Altima''s Father finally manage to defeat all 4 Ironclaw Mole, while Killing One and injuring the other 3 until they are not capable of resisting anymore. With a quick Jump and catch, Altima father manages to harvest a total of 8 young beanstalks, and 2 Adult Beanstalks. Next, the pair of father and son quickly retreat from the spot, leaving the Ironclaw Mole beast by itself.

    "My Son, next, we will be heading towards the Vicinity where the Powder Flower Grows. They usually grow in places with many Huge trees, Which is where we are going now. For now, Wrap your Mouth and nose with this Double layered Cloth, so you won''t accidently inhale any remains of the Powder Flower which spread around looking for germinating spots.", Wayne quickly had his son prepared before they proceed into the area where the Powder Flower grows.

    In this area, the harvesting is pretty simple. By walking slowly and creating no wind to carry the Powder poison, the Flower have no means to float around looking for preys. Easily, Altima and Wayne manage to harvest a total of 14 Stem, Which Altima had tried himself on handling 4 out of the 14 Stems in their hand.

    The Harvesting method are pretty simple, just look for any leftover stem which remains after the Powder Flower Spreads away, and Chop the Roots area to check on the Juiciness of the Stem. The more remains of Juices flow determine how good and fertile this stem will be during the concoction of the Balancing Zen Pills.

    As the father and son couple finally finish their harvesting works, Wayne lead Altima along the way to the nearest town located outside of the Forest of Thousand Insects.

    This town population are around 50,000. Due to the town is located close to  the Thousand Insects forest, Many adventurers and cultivators try their luck in subduing some Insects, or perhaps some beast or medicinal ingredients in exchange for some money to enjoy their life. Prostitution and Adventurer guild are built all along the main street, while the Town Guards seem to be in their Peak 9th or 10th Stage of the Early Practitioner of Zen Tier, while the captains of the guards possess the qualification of 1st to 2nd stage of Warrior Practitioner of Zen Tier.

    Following his father, Altima entered a huge Medicine Hall, which has plenty of Pills and medicine placed along its walkway for visitors to see and research before making their purchase. The walkway is bustling with customers talking and haggling for a cheaper price, while some people who are within the building for the intention of trading, use the path Altima is following now to the trading area, where the sight is even more hectic and rough compare to the outside of the Hall.

    "Hi Wayne, here for the Trades again ?", One Employee greet Wayne as he saw him. Seems like this is an Acquaintance of his father.

    "Hi Cacao, I would like to trade in this total of 8 Young Beanstalks and 2 Adults Beanstalks with 10 Stem of Powder Flower.", Wayne greets the employee with respect, and handover the total of 20 Items to this young adult name Cacao.

    "Seems like you are having some great luck today, the Adult Beanstalks are in a very good quality, did you climb up on a try and try to fly to pick it ?", Cacao Jokes with Wayne, as the Adult Beanstalks are usually rare to be seen among the traders.

    "I''m lucky to have seen 2 of them hanging about the Height of the Young Beanstalks.", Wayne replied, and looking at Altima, hoping that he could learn something from their conversation.

    After the trade is completed, Wayne quickly Pocketed a total of 200 Copper coins, which next used to purchase some beast meat and good quality Food to bring home for the wife to prepare. While leaving the Medicinal Hall, Altima notices that the Balancing Zen Pill is sold for 200 Copper coin each.

    "the Balancing Zen Pills is so Expensive!, Father literally gather a total of ingredient to refine 4 Basic grade Balancing Zen Pills and 1 Middle grade Balancing Zen Pills, but all he got from the exchange is only barely enough to buy 1 Basic Grade Balancing Zen Pills.", Altima Sigh, and felt that to survive in this world are pretty hard, due to the exchange rate between the ingredient and final product differs by so much.

 Chapter 4 - Growing with Mobi Through Concoction!

    As the Father and son finally finish walking around the market, Wayne and Altima finally departing and returning to their home located deep within the Forest. After today''s Experience, Altima finally obtains the approval from his father to be allowed to join the Hunt for Ingredient Harvest Once every Week. Under the deal that Altima is allowed to keep whatever Ingredient he manages to procure.

    From Wayne''s Eye, he was thinking that the Child perhaps are only having fun with the ingredients, or perhaps wishing to study deeper into the topic so he could understand more how all this ingredient could work. But from Altima''s Mind, he was actually preparing to obtain enough ingredient to try to concoct the medicine for his own usage. After all, with Mobi around his side, Altima literally having a cheat code by his side but the lack of item to fully utilize it.

    As the time pass by two Month, where Altima finally manage to follow his for a continuously 8 times in the total of 8 weeks. Currently, Altima was an Early Practitioner of Zen Tier on 5th Stage. Within this benchmark, Altima finally facing his first difficulties of Breaking through the Next stage. Running into deep in the forest with the Reason to have fun, Altima finally Found himself a secluded spot and withdraw all the Ingredients he kept during the 8 Weeks of Hunting assisting with her father.

    "Brother Mobi, how will we proceed with all the ingredients ?", Altima quickly calculates the total ingredient He has in hand.

    14 Stalks of the Hanging Beanstalks Tree

    16 Stems from the Powder Flower

    "So, How will we proceed with all this ingredient ?", Altima had all the Ingredient split into 7 different portions, with 2 Stalks and 1 Stem each.

    As the Weird Altima and Mobi Duo talks and debates along the way, Mobi quickly Transform into an Interface of Skills and Mode selection.

    "Choose your Option: Concoction."

    "Choose your Recipe: Basic Grade Balancing Zen Pill."

    "Insert Ingredient: Required 2 x Young Beanstalk from Hanging Beanstalk Tree / 1 x Stem of the Dried Powder Flower."

    "Processing: Success Chances: 15% / 100%."

    "Waiting Time: 5 Minutes."

    As the Selection is completed, Altima stay still on the same spot, waiting for 5 minutes to pass. Quickly, the Result from the Interface came out.

    "Concoction Failed!"

    "Experience Received: 1%."

    "Since the Success rate is only at 15% Chances, no wonder the Balancing Zen Pills is sold for such an exorbitant price.", Altima finally realize the difficulties of concocting the Pills, but he never realized that he is currently concocting the pills via Shortcut Interface, while for the people within this Rumanian World is literally concocting the Pills from Starting their own Qi of Fire Element, Refining the Ingredient and Slowly controlling the flame until the Pill is formed within the cauldron.

    Meanwhile for Altima, Just a simple waiting of 5 Minutes is required. Without giving up, Altima tried for the remaining 6 portion of the Balancing Zen Pills. After waiting for another 30 Minutes, Altima finally success in 2 Tries out of 6. With two Pills in his hand, Altima stores the Pills in Mobi''s Spatial Storage, as Mobi slowly transformed back to his usual Slime Appearance. Meanwhile, for the Experience, Altima gathered a total of 11%/100% Experience. Seems like each Success will give 3% of Experience while Failure will only give 1% Experience.

    "Why don''t you consume the 2 Pills to increase your cultivation by a little ?", Mobi asked Altima, Feeling that his current action is not normal.

    "To pass this first border of 5th Stage to 6th Stage of Early Practitioner of Zen, I would required a pretty huge amount of Yin and Yang Essence. Unless I possess a total of At least 10 Units of the Balancing Zen Pills, if not I will try my own way to break through past 6th Stage.", Said Altima, while Still maintaining his (Sturdy Body of Zen Practitioner) Technique. Other than normal Body training, Altima tried to Revise and recreate the Skill such as The Golden Bell Aura from Shaolin Sect or the Qing Gong Movement Skill he learned before reincarnation, but unfortunately, No results came out from the personally created Skills, except the movement and Form are well copied into his daily normal Fist Practice.

    Slowly, Another year has passed. In the World of Rumanian, Each month consist of 64 Days, where each week equals of 16 Days. Every 4 days is a category as one cycle, which is Low Shyer 1, 2, 3, 4, and then Middle Shyer 1, 2, 3, 4, Late Shyer and End Shyer. Shyer on the First Week, Thayer on the Second Week, Whyer on the Third week, and Ghyer on the End of the month. In the term of a year, 16 Month equals of 1 Year cycle.

    As the time goes, Altima manage to slowly keep his Stock of Balancing Zen Pills from 2 Pills previously to around 50 Pills in hand at the moment. From the total 56 Weeks, after Altima start joining Wayne with the weekly hunting, Altima manage to Lay his hand on harvesting his own portions of close to 160 portions of the Balancing Zen Pills Ingredients. Through Concoction, Altima manages to increase his Basic Skill of Concocting from Level 0 into Level 2, and in currently in half way to advance into Level 3. Meanwhile, for the Probability of Success, it had increased from 15% to 25% success rate.

    Currently, Altima believe that he had reached the pinnacle of his current strength, which had been lying stagnant for quick a long time. After all the preparation had been made, Altima quickly move towards the deeper into the forest and start pushing his cultivation to its current Limit. Added with the Balancing Zen Pill, Altima quickly reaches the Pinnacle of 5th Stage of Early Practitioner of Zen. After Struggling for a short while, A layer of Impurities started to appear throughout Altima''s Skin, and A stronger surge of Yin and Yang Essence is emitted from Altima''s Body.

    "Success! Finally, I manage to reach the 6th Stage of Early Practitioner of Zen!", Altima is in a very good mood now, since he successfully break through the First Border blocking him in between of 5th Stage and 6th Stage.

    Immediately, Altima rush to the nearby pond to clean himself up after the impurities is extracted, soon, Altima notice that even his face seems to be much clearer and Bright, compare to moments ago. As the cleaning is done, Altima quickly heads home to share the great news with his both parents. When the parents heard about their child successfully breakthrough pass the 5th Stage into 6th Stage, both of them are rushing to prepare a sumptuous meal to celebrate their Child potential.

    Although Altima still keeping some secret from his parents, but Altima still felt that he had been showered by his parents a huge amount of love and care, which he totally lacked during his past before reincarnation. After all the Dinner and sharing on what is the experience when Altima having his breakthrough, At the same night, Altima is brought by his father to outside their home.

    "Child, Since you have reach the 6th Stage of Early Practitioner of Zen, I believe it is time you should start to learn this two Martial Art Technique to further protect yourself with.", Wayne starts his Speech and slowly move along with the different stances and Movement technique to show how different once could fight with additional martial arts.

    Firstly, Wayne Taught Altima on the Cultivating technique of the Movement of Ghost Steps, First Chapter. This movement of Ghost Step is similar to the Qing Gong Altima used to Practice and use before reincarnation, so learning it is practically easier. By mastering this First Chapter, One could Thread on Grassland without leaving any footsteps, or travel across Walls, Roofs and Traps without notice.

    As for the Second Chapter onwards, Altima would require to have sufficient luck. Even for Wayne, whom through luck encounter this leftover treasure during his young day hunting along with his spouse. As their family have no background or any capability to Keep a large amount of money, Purchasing a skill book above Early Practitioner of Zen Tier are kind of impossible. But without knowing it, Altima secretly tell himself that he can get more books to learn anytime, as he could concoct the Balancing Zen Pill with a success rate of 1/4 on each portion of Ingredient.

    Next in the list, is the 8 Form of Ascending Fist, which been passed down through generations in Altima''s Family. Upon mastery on this Fist Martial Arts, One could utilize 8 different Style of Fist technique to face his enemies, and still manage to protect himself from any heavy injuries. The first 4 form of the Fist Skill could be used in Punching, Capturing, Defending and Controlling. First 4 form are mainly for Single to 2 or 3 Opponent, while for the final 4 form of the Fist Martial Arts, are to be used in case the user are caught in a Crowd. Utilizing almost the same Technique and Skill philosophy, Altima believes that this Skill is much likely Came from or perhaps Another Version of the Kun Lun Sect Ascending Dragon Fist.

 Chapter 5 - Joining a Faction!

    After all the handover of Martial Arts Technique and Sharing the practicing experience, with some cultivation tips, Wayne finally calling it a night, leaving Altima outside the house to mesmerize and digest all the information before he went to sleep. While in Altima''s Mind, Altima was thinking about something else.

    "Perhaps, If I can master this two Martial Arts Technique, I will have a better chance to Cultivate and strengthen myself to break through the Border from Early Practitioner of Zen to Warrior Practitioner of Zen.", Altima Sighed, realizing that the cultivating process in this world is harder than what it used to be in his own world.

    Due to the Differences in the Yin and Yang Essence available within the atmosphere in this world is much more concentrated, stronger humans or even beast are easily seen all around the continent. To successfully cultivate, one would require competing for the stronger elixir, medicine as well as oddities material which allow one to master their Art further. Although this results in a world with a tyrannical Rules, This rules allowed the flourish of Certain Sects, Clans, as well as military establishment or kingdom to expand their ability into even deeper.

    "Brother Mobi, do you think it is possible to Refine this 2 martial arts and on the same time, increasing the power of this martial arts to compete with people one tier higher than myself ?", Altima asked while Mobi is idling around absorbing the Yin and Yang Essence scattered around the room.

    "Who do you think i am ?", Mobi immediately Transform into a system interface and allows Altima to choose the functions.

    "Choose your Option: Cultivation."

    "Choose your Cultivation Category: Martial Arts / Fist."

    "Choose your Martial Arts: 8 Form of Ascending Fist."

    "Choose your Option: Refine Arts / Upgrade Arts."

    "Processing: Success Chances: 70% / 100%."

    "Waiting Time: 1 hour."

    Next, Altima tried to Select the same for the Movement of Ghost Steps. Unfortunately, an error message pops up, stating that the Level of Universal Interface System - Mobi is too Low to process two requests in one same time. Altima quickly looks for the selection to increase Mobi''s Ability and Level, but unfortunately, no information could be looked up for.

    "Brother Mobi, what is the requirement to increase your strength ?", Altima asked.

    "As I told you before, I Don''t Each those low classes food, even if you feed me with it, I will spit it out immediately."

    "If you really want me to feast, Look for something Amazing and Metal like. I love that kind of foods."

    "...."

    For now, What Altima have is time, but not cultivating resources. In the next half year, other than following his father to assist in the harvesting of Ingredients, Altima spends almost all his time perfecting the two martial arts he has in his knowledge. After Refining The Martial Art (Movements of Ghost Steps) for twice, Altima current Movement arts are categorized into the Early Warrior Practitioner of Zen Martial Arts. Meanwhile, for the 8 Ascending Fist, Altima only successfully Refine the martial arts once, allowing this skill to become a Peak of Early Practitioner of Zen Martial Arts.

    Before any refining is placed on the Martial arts, both of the martial arts are only in the Advance Early Practitioner of Martial Arts.

    Without realizing the time, The end of the year is here. As for Altima, he finally reaches his Maturity age of 5, which Allowing him to participate in the Young Generation Martial Arena. This martial Arena match is conducted by the Lord of the Town, reasons ?

    First will be to recruit and capture the talents which personally groom within the town, so they could remain within the Lord of the Town Private factions. And secondly, is to keep track on their own possible strong candidates, which will be soon kept within the town to be selected by the Sect or Clan later, in return for the Rewards to further strengthen the Town.

    "So, Altima, it is your 5th years old birthday, Father will need to talk something important with you.", Wayne had his son and wife sitting side by side, while taking this matter seriously.

    "The Town we had been visiting all the time, is named Hundred Miles Town. Within this town, Except the Lord of the Town, Town Chief Gunnar Rex, There is 3 Different Superpowers reside within this Town."

    Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

    "Firstly, is the Branch Sect from the Thousand Leaves Sect."

    "This Branch Sect have family members and practitioners amounted up to 5,000 members. They are Ruthless, but Loyal and Value Friendship the most. Father is a good friend with one of the Vice Elder within this Branch Sect, his name is Vice Elder Wen. If you join this Sect, they will provide you with 5 Balancing Zen Pill Each month, while you are entitled to entering whichever Special Occasion during your period within the sect as their Disciple."

    "Next, is a slightly smaller family Clan. This Clan name themselves as the Hu (Tiger) Clan."

    "This Clan is slightly Ruthless and rough, always resolve issues in a fight, duel or perhaps sometimes with the pressure of their Clan members. Well, it could be expected, due to they possess at least 10 Peak Warrior Practitioner of Zen Elders as well as about 100 Members of Inner Disciple whom quite talented individual, and each of them possess at least stage 1 in Warrior Practitioner of Zen Tier. To enter this clan, you need to proof yourself capable and strong in martial arts, and if you succeed, you will be rewarded with 5 Balancing Zen Pill Monthly."

    "Lastly, is a Guild. This Thousand Members Guild is the Only Neutral Power within this Hundred Miles Town."

    "This Guild required their Members to work hard and provide sufficient products to obtain benefits. In return of your hard works, you will be rewarded with some medicinal pills or cultivation benefits, as well special item to purchase once a while. This Guild has no differentiated in Inner Disciple or Outer, because everybody could enjoy certain benefits depend on their Contributions."

    "So, Father. Which one would you like me to Join ?"

    "I would prefer you to join the Thousand Leaves Sect, due to they have a stronger background, and was the most average Superpower within the town."

    "but at the same time, I actually prefer my child to join the Thousand Members Guild. As the elder says, Without one effort, it is hard to grow. I believe that my child has a good potential, and could work himself up in the contribution towards the Guild to receive better benefits, but at the same time, father is worried as the rumors say that this Guild will not bother if the members over evaluate themselves and pick on a deadly and impossible to succeed mission to proceed."

    "If in this case, Father I will follow your Will. I will join the Thousand Members Guild, and work myself hard to obtain a higher position and benefits there. I will be more careful and not be too reckless, at the same time, I have a father here to manage and give me advice, so I believe I could do better within this guild."

    "Then this will be the final decision! Altima, my child, Let us go to the Thousand Members Guild and register yourself so you could join them. And in the 10th month of the year, you will be participating the Martial Arena."

    "You child will not disappoint you, father."

    "Good, if in that case lets proceed to the Guild tomorrow morning."

    Later by that night, Mobi couldn''t Hide his feeling but to question about Altima''s Decision on joining the Guild. After some talking and explanation, Mobi Finally understands what is within Altima''s Mind.

    Although joining the Thousand Leaves Sect would be more stable and easy to cultivate, or perhaps joining the Hu Clan will ensure a better experience in fighting, None of this 2 superpower could compete with the Guild and its benefit. First of all, Altima will have a high requirement to hunt for the ingredients and Concoct all the available Ingredients into the Balancing Zen Pills. Through the (No Work , No Benefits) Policy practiced by the Guild, Altima could at least use this as the reason to cover the fact that where he could obtain such amount of Cultivating medicine.

    Next, would be the Background of the Guild. As explained by Wayne, this guild has none of the restriction when coming to the information, Skills, Benefits, and Rewards. Which means, all the Members of the guild will be treated equally, and based on your contribution, you will have plenty of chances to obtain further knowledge and Martial Arts, or perhaps even weapons or Rare Treasures.

    Just through this fact, Altima could deduce that Although the Thousand Members Guild is seemed unorganized at some point, there is no hidden fact says that they are incomparable with the other 2 Different Superpower. Perhaps if the Guild takes things seriously, Even the Town Chief Faction will have trouble facing them.

 Chapter 6 - Thousand Members Guild!

    As the Morning Sun Rise and Bath across the land with its Beaming Light, The Father and Son prepare themselves and quickly proceed towards the Town, and head into the Guild Entrance immediately as they reach the middle Square intersection. While in between the way, Altima quickly checks and survey on the available materials, Ingredients and other miscellaneous Item placed along the Stalls waiting for buyers to choose from.

    Other than recording the Medicinal plants and some important items, Altima had himself measured and checked, so he could easily craft or create equipment for himself if required in future. Meanwhile for now, Perhaps purchasing an equipment will best choice for him.

    After walking pass the intersection, Altima and Wayne reach a tall and majestic castle-like building, with an arch written "THOUSAND MEMBERS GUILD - 51st Branch".

    "Halt! What is your purpose to the guild, Mister ?", The Guards, Whom seems to be at least around Stage 1 Warrior Practitioner of Zen Tier stopped the father and son duo.

    "I am here to enlist my child into the guild, could both Guard Brother allow us a passage ?", Wayne replied humbly and Clasped his hand while bow down a little to both of the guards.

    "Ah, I see! What''s your name, Child ?"

    "Its Altima, Big Brother."

    "Please Pass then, remember, the enlistment Hall is located at the Left Building, with a Scroll Insignia Hanging outside of the Entrance."

    "Thank you both Guard Brothers, Hope we could meet again, I will personally treat you a meal with drinks if there is a chance.", Wayne politely Bid his farewell with the Guards and proceed with Altima into the Enlistment Hall.

    As soon as the Father and Son duo enter the Hall.

    "Too Weak! Kid, you are too weak to Join the Guild!"

    A match is on its way in the middle of the Hall, which looks like a small Boxing Ring. Within, there is 2 Different Child seems to be fighting an Adult about Wayne''s Age. Through some clearer inspection, the man is seen to be restricting his strength to the Peak of Early Practitioner Tier, while the 2 kids are only on their 3rd Stage of Early Practitioner Tier.

    "Are you here to enrol as a member of the Thousand Members Guild ?", The big Man asked, pointing at Altima.

    "Yes, Senior!", Altima replied in a stern and quick response.

    "Then Come up, Leave the paperwork for later!", The big Man replied back and had the Divided Opened for Altima to enter the Ring.

    "My Name is Altima, Senior. Please forgive me for my insolence of fighting with Senior.", Altima gave a respect and bow towards the Big Man before preparing his battle stance.

    "Good Foot Work, Good Stance! Kid, don''t Disappoint me, And remember, my name is Zhen Da Niu (Really a Big Cow). I am one of the Captain of the Guilds Protecting Guards.", Da Niu Quickly gives his name and prepares himself to face Altima''s Attack.

    As both participants in the ring finish their initial greeting, Altima made his first attack. Jumping around and moving with the Movement of Ghost Steps, Altima manages to move until he deduces the right side below Da Niu''s Elbow is his blind spot. As he reaches the Step and stopped before Da Niu''s Elbow, Altima prepares his footwork and Launch a Double Strike from his 8 Ascending Fist.

    "First Form of Ascending Fist, Ascend of the Crane Fist!, Second Form of Ascending Fist, Ascend of the Deer Fist!"

    "Nuh!, Good Hit Kid, Good Hit!!!"

    Da Niu quickly readjusts his position and clasp both of his Arm together to form a Shield, which quickly defend himself from the next 8 Ascending Fist from Altima. Quickly, Altima Retreated from his initial position, and applied the Movement of Ghost Steps again, surrounding Da Niu and looking for the Next weak spot to launch his attack.

    But to compare a young seeding with an adult is too much. Da Niu quickly Give a shout, Informing Altima that he will take his action now. Although Altima quickly moves towards the Defending Form in the 8 Ascending Fist and Keep himself Moving along in the Movement of Ghost Steps, All it required is only one Punch, Which missed the Target  but still manages to throw Altima off from the ring through its Shockwave.

    "Great Skill Kid, Friend, You must be proud to have such a talented Child within your household. Da Niu.", Zhen Da Niu quickly introduces himself towards Wayne and Clasp his fist together.

    "Wayne El Mist. Your Martial Prowess is amazingly high as well, Brother Da Niu.", Wayne quickly introduces himself and return the bow.

    "Gentleman, I guess we should go into the room for a little friendly talk, shall we ?", Another Huge Man came up from his seat and invited both sides to follow him towards the private room.

    As the Huge Man and his two Assistant Lady, Zhen Da Niu and The Father and son Duo enter the room, all of them seated, while both The Assistant lady is helping Altima in registering himself with the Guild. Quickly, the registration is complete, and Altima receives a Badge with Name / Position and others information stated on it as his proof of Identification.

    Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

    Name: Altima El Mist

    Age: 5 / Male

    Cultivators of Early Practitioner of Zen Tier

    First Rank - 2nd Stage

    Protector: Valiant Fist "Wu Feng" / Swinging Rock "Zhen Da Niu"

    "Kid, let me introduce myself first. My name is Wu Feng, I am one of the 3 Vice Guild Master handling this 51st Branch of Thousand Members Guild. Within this guild, I am the one handling the Authority to Approve the benefits towards each Guild members whom successfully outperform themselves through great task and deeds. Or sometimes, it is due to their talents and also attitude."

    "While for this big guy here, is one of my direct Subordinate, who is one of the 100 Captains of the Guild, Da Niu. He and another 99 other captains are in duty to protect our Guild from any Troubles Internally and Externally. Handling cases such as Runaway Members, Disloyal or Betrayals, or maybe sometimes due to failure to complete the task, the captains will be the first one to handle this matter."

    "While in between of Captain and my position, there will be 10 Elders whom in duty to handle various Department, Such as the Alchemy Departments, Martial Departments, Trade and Exchange Department, Management Department, Mission Department, Training Department, Metal Works Department, Beast Department, Construction Department, and lastly the Other Agriculture Departments."

    "For the Members of the Guild, We categorize them into 8 Different Ranks, as well as 10 Stage in each rank. You are currently in 2nd Stage because of your good fighting capability, Attitude, and performance. But to increase it to slightly higher, you would need to contribute towards the guild, while in return, we will give you assistance in the term of Martial Arts, Medicinal Pill as well as Weapon or other produce."

    "For now, Since you are a Rank 1 - Stage 2 Member, you are allowed to visit the Agriculture Department to assist in Gathering and harvesting the Herbs, as well as you, are allowed to Visit the Library in the Management Department to Enhance your knowledge on some basic things in our continent. While for martial arts, Alchemy and Trade and Exchange, you would require to get yourself to at least Stage 4 and above. Do your best, We have good faith and confidence in your performance."

    After Wu Feng finishes his introduction speech, they party continue their random talks, while Altima is excused to visit the Agriculture Departments. Upon entering, Altima is greeted with the Sight of at least 1,000 Pots of Hanging Beanstalk Tree, with Plenty of young Beanstalks hanging around them, and Powered and Nurtured with the assistance of a Magical Item called The Demonite Stone.

    The Pot has arranged accordingly with their age, where at the bottom of the Podium, 400 Pots of Young Beanstalks is often Harvested instead of allowing them to grow until Adult Stage. While on the First Ring within the Podium, 300 Pots of Adult Beanstalks can be seen hanging around, waiting for its maturity before they are collected. Next is the second Ring, which consists of 200 Pots of Older Beanstalks, and lastly on the Highest Podium, 100 Pots of High-quality Beans from the Beanstalk could be seen maturing and ready to be picked.

    "Young Guy, are you here to assist in the harvesting Works ?", An old man takes the initiative to talk to Altima.

    "Yes Mister, Vice Guild Master Wu Feng had me visit here and learn how the guild works before I take on another task.", Altima quickly stated his intention of being here first, as he is still new within the guild and its rules.

    "I see, If in that case, Let me run you through how the Works is rewarded accordingly.", The Old Man, only addressing himself as Old Li started to talk with Altima about what works required to be done, and what is the procedure to obtain contribution points.

    Contribution points, which came in the form of Crystal beads, are used in the form to indicate the currency within the Guild. This Beads could be used to Exchange or Purchase different produce available within the guild, as well as Cultivatable if the practitioner is somebody who excels in Yin Energy or Lack of Yin Energy. Currently this Beads came in 4 Different Type, Which is the Small Seed like Beads to indicate Single Unit of Points, While for the 2nd type is a Cubic Looking Crystal Beads, which indicate an amount of 100 Points each, 3rd Type is a Long Rod Crystal Like, which indicates 10,000 points each, and 4th is a Jadeite Like Crystals, to indicate 1,000,000 Each.

    While for this Agriculture Department, Each Harvesting Contribution is calculated in the ratio of 10 (young) Stalks : 1 Contribution points. One could harvest as much as they would like, until either the Ingredient is fully harvested, or controlled. While 5 (Adult) Stalks : 1 Contribution Points, but the task would be harder as there is not all cultivator have the ability to Harvest efficiently on the ingredient which grows higher than 3 Metres from the ground.

    To start off, Altima quickly Utilize his Movement of Ghost Steps to quickly harvest the Available Young beanstalks within his reach, which is about 1.5 metres above ground. After all, Altima currently is still a young 5 years old kid. As the time pass, Wayne pays a visit to the Department, informing Altima that he is allowed to stay in the Guild if he feels like it, but of course, staying inside the guild specially Cultivated room will cost a 10 Points each night. But based on his son Performance, Wayne believe that wouldn''t be an issue to Altima.

    Continued with the Harvesting assistance, Altima quickly gathers himself a total of 50 points, before he stopped and looking for places to go for a meal. Heading to the Management Department, Altima found himself the Dining Hall, Where Sumptuous food for cultivator is all Prepared within, with a price of course. As Altima is just Participate into this guild, He just ordered a simple Vigor Bull Steak with some Night Glowing Mushroom and Sweet Nectar Stems, Which could help in digestion, Essence Absorbing, and Circulations, as well to increase the energy before they push themselves for another round of Rigorous Works.

 Chapter 7 - First Guild Activity Participation!

    Soon, One month period had passed. Other than contributing in the Ingredient gathering in the Agriculture department, Altima participates in Joining along with the Metalworks department, which he participate in the process of refining and melting the rough metals into Solid Metal Bars before its handover towards the professional blacksmith to Mould and Craft into weapons.

    Altima participates within the Alchemy and Trade and Exchange Departments as well, Learning all the Basics about Potion Concocting, Material Collections as well as the Market price on the certain ingredient which available within the market. Coincidently, The Market price is controlled by the Balancing Zen Pills as the basic currency, where reduce the requirements of bringing a huge amount of either Copper Coins or Crystals all around.

    Shifting around the Department each week, Altima manage to gather about 50 Crystal Bead each day, where after deducting by paying 10 Beads for his Accommodation each night and 2 meals each day, Altima manage to Keep himself a total of 1,920 Numbers of Beads, which enough for him to Exchange for a few items in the Trade and Exchange department.

    Once the Work for the day is finally finished by Altima And received a total of another additional 50 Crystal Beads, Altima quickly proceeds towards the Trade and Exchange Department, to catch the final Hour before the closing period. Within the Thousand Members Guild, A special Practice is conducted during the members are within the area in Trading Halls. One must be within the Hall before the Bell is Rang, to entitle themselves to enter and participate in the purchase and selling of Produce.

    The Hall is opened Daily, but only for a short period of 2 hours, which is why The Contributing job to assist the Trade and Exchange Department have heavily sought after. But there is a catch to help within the Trading Hall, where if one is failed to either serve at least 10 Customer each hour, they will be Disqualified from participating in the Hall Contributing works, as well as Restricted from Entering the Hall for any Purchases for the next one Month.

    Although the Rules is strict, but The applicants to help in the Trade and Exchange Department are still heavily sought after. As Altima step his both feet into the Hall Entrance, A loud bell sound rang across the hall, stating that the Closing is up, where the door will be Closed, and only the Back Exit will be open until all the visitors left the halls. Immediately with haste, Altima quickly surveys around for the Materials and ingredient he wished to procure.

    First in Altima list of procuring Items, is the Ingredient to Prepare a special Cultivation Resources, named Wolfberry Essence Leaf. These leaves are difficult to procure, due to the low maturity rate is applied on each Wolfberry Seed Tree. Although the Wolfberry Seed is possible to be used as Healing Ointments, only the Wolfberry Leaf is well Concentrated with Essence strong enough to create another Variation of Cultivating Resources called Essence Linking Concentrate.

    Through Success of Refining and Concocting this Ingredient into One single Dosage of Concentrate, A mix Ratio of Wolfberry Essence Leaf 1 : 1 Vial of Demonic Beast Blood (Human) is required. With a requirement of 200 Points of Contribution is needed, Altima quickly exchanges all he could, but only able to reserve 4 Pieces of the Essence Leaf, due to the Difficulty to procure this ingredient. Meanwhile, for the Demonic Beast Blood (Human), Altima decided to not purchasing any for now, since this Blood is easier to be procure compared to the Essence Leaf.

    Next, With the remaining 1,170 Points left, Altima decided to Purchase a few Pure Metal Ingots for himself to use and Act as the Feeds for Mobi. After shifting around the different department, Mobi was seen to be Enjoying the Atmosphere and Drools over the Metal Refined by Altima the most, Even more, obsessed than a lunatic Blacksmith. Talking about the Lunatic Blacksmith, there is one Older Guild member whom almost well known by all the members of the guild.

    This old Blacksmith Name is called Tie Chuei (Metal Hammer). Most of the guild member treat him as a mentor, due to Tie Chuei is the only capable master in the Metal Works Department. Once a while, Tie Chuei will require the visitor to the Metal Works Hall to pay him in the form of Metal Ingots as currency, but in return, Tie Chuei Usually repairs their equipment for free each time they came for the repairing services.

    As the Metal Works Stalls are usually packed, Altima quickly went towards a close acquaintance of him, named Li Sung, to request for a quick trade between the stall and Altima himself.

    "Brother Li, can I check how many ingots could I try to get with 1,000 Contribution points ?", Altima place the Beads onto the Cashier counter, and allows Li Sung to Consider and calculate before he replies.

    "Little Brother, If you are only looking for the Basic Metal, Arsalite, we could reduce the cost of each to 50 Points compare to single purchase cost 65 Points each. With this way, you could purchase a total of 20 Arsalite Ingots directly for only 1,000 Points.", Li Sung quickly calculate and let Altima Know the results.

    "If in that case, I will trouble Brother Li to place the order on my behalf.", Altima quickly pays through contribution points, and heading out from the hall as he currently has no funds to continue "his shopping".

    The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.Immediately, Once Altima returned to his "Rented Room", Mobi quickly bounce out from Altima''s Wrist and impatiently awaits the Arsalite to be delivered over, which came along to the hand of Altima after waiting for another 10 minutes.

    "Brother Mobi, How come you are so eager to have all these Arsalite Ingots ?". Asked Altima.

    "What you know, Kiddo! 5 years! I am at your wrist for 5 years, and you did not even feed me a single bead of Metallic Compound. Do you know how Desperate, Hunger, Lust, Wishful for a mouthful of it ?", Mobi quickly Exclaim his eagerness, but still jumping on the same spot, hurrying Altima to quickly withdraw the Arsalite from the Pouch.

    As the Arsalite is digested into "Mobi''s Stomach", A system prompt notice came from Mobi, but since this guy didn''t Change into the Interface Mode, Altima has no choice but to Check on it the next time he required. Soon after a look, The Note appeared within the Interface was:

    "Successfully Ingested 20 Units of Arsalite Ingots, Obtain 20 x Chances to Increase success rate by 5% upon Activities."

    "Experience for Universe Slime is increased by 0.20%! Current Experience 0.20%/100%"

    Hell, this Brother Mobi is seriously a High Maintenance Guardian to take care off. Based on the Current Level of my Concoction Option is Level 3, I have a higher possibility of success in Concocting the Balancing Zen Pills, which is about 35%. Meanwhile, for the New recipe (Concentrated Extract of the Wolfberry Essence), the recipe indicate that only 5% of success rate is there when trying for this Recipe.

    As the time pass for another few more month with certain Contribution activities along the few departments, Altima quickly adapts to the hectic and Productive Life within the guild vicinity. With the Assistance of the Cultivation and Accommodation room provided, Altima manage to Increase his cultivation, and break through the 6th Stage of Early Practitioner of Zen to the 7th stage of the Early practitioner of Zen.

    Meanwhile, One more Refining Selection could be made on Altima''s 8 Ascending Fist, Thus bringing the skill from the Peak Early Practitioner of Zen Martial Arts into the Early Warrior Practitioner of Zen Martial Arts. With an increase in the overall performance and strength on his currently still perfecting martial arts, Altima has the confidence to fight on part with any early Warrior Stage practitioner, and Hold himself for at least 5 to 10 Minutes before he is overwhelmed.

    Soon, after being within the Thousand Members Guild for a total of 3 Month, Altima returned home for a visit to his family, as well as to make some preparations as there is an Event happening within the Guild. In another 16 Days, The Twice a year Big Hunt Begins. Within this 51st branch of the Thousand Members Guild, They actually manage to conserve and procure a spot of the Ancient Spatial Land, which came with abundant Resources, Ingredients as well as strong Essence beast or Treasures such as Martial Skills or perhaps some Ancient Weapons.

    Through this twice year events, All the guild members within the 51st branch are required to attend this Big Hunt, to increase the strength of each of their members as well as increasing the Guild Strength, due to the competitive environment within the continent. In a similar way, both Hu Clan, as well as the Thousand Leaves Sect, will have their own Agendas as well, which thoroughly divided into different segment each year.

    Although the participation does not require any payments, but a 10% of the gathered ingredients or materials would be treated as the contribution from each member once this event is over. In the same time, any Gathered Relics, Ancient weapons or Martial Skills will be treated as the Ownership between The Guild and the Member who founded it.

 Chapter 8 - Two Young Wolf Cubs

    As the group of participants running into the Dimensional Portal, each and everyone is Delivered and landed on a different Location, scattered around to have their own spot to hunt for treasures and ingredient. As Altima opened his eyes, He found out he had been delivered into a Lower Danger Zone, Which is more well known as the Marsh of Blood Suckling. Blood Suckling, A kind of Leeches which came in the sizes of a Cat in Altima''s previous world, usually charge on their prey in a group, immobilize them before they suck the prey totally dry.

    Although the Difficulties to hunt this Blood Suckling is low, but the regenerative ability of the Leeches is what makes it hard. The Blood Suckling is needed to be killed via Internal Damage, instead of physical Damage such as Chopping and Slashing. Due to the Leeches Ability, they could multiply easily and double the Amount of their pack if they met with some prey who only proficiency is using a sword.

    Next will be the Substance they Salivated around their Thousands of Teeth Jaw, which could cause the Blood of their prey flows nonstop, and would require a quick medical attention. Although the Nearby Marsh will contain the most important Cure, which is the Sap of the Marsh MudTree, but during urgent and difficult position, they prey usually died of blood loss, or being swarmed before they manage to look for the Tree Sap.

    But, The Blood Sucking is very well Sought after. Each single Blood Sucking Gave an amazing Fish Meat Texture upon Cooked and helps in replenishing the Blood Lost and Yang Energy Essence at an amazing level. While for the Sap of the Marsh Mudtree, the demand is not as high as the Blood Suckling, but it is still sought after by Peoples whom venturing to the Marsh for a living.

    Immediately, before Altima manage to walk for a total of 1 Metre, A number of about 10 Blood Suckling starting to appearing on the Surface of the Mudwater, swimming around slowly, awaiting chances to jump on its prey. In response, Altima quickly throws a piece of stone on the water not far between the Leech and Altima and prepared his fist as the Leech initiate it first attack.

    With a well-prepared Stances and Launch his 4th Form of the 8 Ascending Fist, the Ascend of the Rhinoceros Fist, which contained the most explosive power on two Leeches that lunged itself towards Altima. With one hit, Both Leeches is dead when landing back on the Surface of the Marsh. With intestine and all other internal organs spat out from its jaw, the Leech is ready to be Cut and skinned to only its Flesh before being packed into the bag and kept in the Spatial Ring Distributed by the Guild.

    Easily, without any challenges, Altima quickly dispose the Leeches along his way and exit the Marsh after he walked for a distance about 500 Metres. Along the Way, Altima manage to Store a total of 500 Flesh of Skinned and Processed Blood Suckling Meat, A total of 20 Piece of the Hardened and Dried Marsh MudTree Sap, as well as 10 Unprocessed Ore of Arsalite. In his luck, Altima manages to obtain a piece of Scarlet Red Pearl from one of the Huge Blood Suckling.

    Although the Scarlet Red Pearl is precious, but as for Altima Ability now, The Pearl is useless for his cultivation due to the Pearl is a medicinal Ingredient and not any Cultivating Ingredient. His next path after the Marsh is the Vast Tree forest which more well known as the Forest of Howling. This Forest has a slightly higher mortality rate, but the Treasure within is more abundant, truth to be said due to even by being outside of the forest, Altima still manage to harvest a total of 10 Young Beanstalks and 12 Stems from Powder Flower.

    Without wasting any more time, Altima quickly ventures within the Forest, looking around and quickly came out with a path. Within the Forest of Howling, There is two different location to be noticed for, the first is the Graveyard of Bones, Which is well known to be a location with strong and concentrated Yin Energy, which good enough for the Cultivators to Produce their own Yin Energy Pills. The next location is the Garden of Emperor Mandrake, which is well known to be a location with abundant supplies of Yang Energy, but listed as one of the most dangerous Location within the Land under the control of Thousand Members Guild.

    As for why the Garden is listed as one of the Dangerous Land is due to the High difficulties in handling the Mandrake. Being hit by Shockwave from a single Mandrake each time they are dug out from the land is bearable. But within the Garden, the numbers of Mandrake is burrowing around reach thousands, young and old, while including some special breed of mandrakes called Screamer Mandrakes, which have the Scream to Call for a swarm of Shockwaves. Facing with a combined shockwave of thousands 5th to 8th Grade of Early Practitioner of Zen Strength Mandrake, even a peak Warrior Practitioner of Zen Cultivators will face death without the span of 5 minutes in the range.

    As Altima ventured around, an inhabitant of the Forest, The Spike Back Wolf appears in front of Altima, Intending to feast on this tiny little human flesh. With the number of two Wolf in front and back of Altima, this is the worst encounter ever for Altima in his life.

    Without giving any chances to Altima to consider his options, the Spike Back Wolf quickly pounce towards Altima And start off its first attack by a left Claw slash. Through utilizing the Movement of Ghost Steps, Altima quickly turns the Attacked to an attacker and launch a controlling Fist through the Second Form of 8 Ascending Fist, the Ascend of Crane Fist. As the Wolf is hit by 2 Strikes continuously by the latter, The Front Wolf started to Escape aside, awaiting its next attacking chance. While the Wolf at the back direction of Altima Proceed to continue their Combo attack.

    Turning around quickly, Altima Choose to Play a match of agility with the 2nd Wolf. Through Running around the Forest and narrowly escaping the attack by using the Huge Trees, Altima manages to reduce some stamina on the second wolf, forcing both of the beasts starts to attack their prey together. As the match between 2 beasts and a human getting slightly hotter, Altima quickly comes out with one Direct strike towards the first Wolf, Launching a strong Fist attack towards while defending himself using the 5th Form of the 8 Ascending Fist, which is the Ascending of the Turtle Fist.

    One Arm on the Swing to repel the Clawing force from the second wolf, another on the Swing to Destroy the Opponent Internally, Altima manage to pull off this trick in his first tries. Instantaneously, Altima Repeat his Ascending of Tiger Fist on the second Wolf, Killing it on the spot without any difficulties, but it on the spot without any difficulties, but facing two 4th Stage Early Practitioner of Zen opponents, and injuries is prone to come together. Altima checked on his condition, where his part from Palm Joint to the Elbow is injured with 3 Claw scratch, While this Shoulder is hit with a Jaw attack, but fortunately, no heavy injuries are applied on any other parts of his body.

    Quickly, Altima Apply the Low-Grade Healing Ointment on the injuries, and awaits his opened wounds slowly heal along when Altima Applied his Yang Energy Absorption, Which Assist one in quickly healing their wounds, circulate stamina, as well as improving body condition before any starting of cultivating practice. As the wounds close up, Altima quickly harvest both of the Wolf Corpse, and Able to obtain a number of the Iron Spikes which protruding out from The wolf back, two of the Wolf Pelt with their Back Carapace, Two Vial of the Demonic Beast Blood (Animal), and lastly Two Piece of Small Purple Coloured Gemstones, which more well known as the Demonite Stone, Which could be used to Enhance the Growth of Plants, or other specific requirements, and lastly the Wolf Meat.

    Knowing his enemies is knowing one advantageous information for himself. Altima is no weakling when comes to the knowledge about all the enemies he''s fighting. For the two wolf to venture out, this indicates where the wolf is more likely a couple, where they might be coming out for a hunt for food, and there will be a high possibility a nest is nearby, with a slight hope where a few young Demon Beast babies are within the nest.

    With this information in mind, Altima quickly search around for the nest, through using Mobi as the detector for the surrounding, Altima found the Nest in about 200 Metres from their initial Fighting location. Searching the surrounding, Altima ends with a result of 3 more corpses of the Dead Blood Suckling, where Altima quickly processed the Meat and store in his Spatial Ring. Coming along with the meat is another 10 Young Beanstalks as well as 2 Piece of the Unprocessed Ore of Arsalite.

    Slowly, Altima Venture into the Wolf Den, and noticed that only 2 baby Wolf Cubs is lying there, Seems to be suffering from hunger due to both of its parents is away for hunting. From the record of the Human Books of records, The Demonic Beast contain a high potential to outgrowth their parents each time they matured. Although due to the law of the jungle, The pups will kill each other until only one of them remains, and later killing its parents to take over the region their parents controls.

    Grabbing both of the Wolf Cubs, Altima Quickly feeds them with the Processed Blood Suckling meat, but unfortunately, the wolf cubs reject the raw meats instead.

    "Brother Mobi, do you have an idea how could we keep this two Demonic Animals ?", Altima asked.

    "Silly Kid! Useless Kid! Do you forget that the Wolf Cubs are not grown enough to digest meats ?", Mobi quickly shot Altima with a simple reply, but opening himself into the interface, and a Selection of Beast Management Came out within.

    "Choose your Option: Beasts / Pets."

    "Choose your Beast Category: Feeds."

    "Choose your Feeds: Young Beast Food."

    "Young Beast Food Chosen, Please Insert Ingredient: 1 x Raw Meat of Any Kind / 1 x Stem of Powder Flower."

    "Received 10 Blood Suckling Meat & 10 Stem of Powder Flower."

    "Processing: Success Chances: 100%

    "Waiting Time: 10 Minutes."

    As the Beast Food is completely Processed, Altima quickly Feed 1 portion to each of the Wolf Cubs, where the Cubs Gulp the Food quickly and leave the Container Empty. As both the Cubs is fully fed, they went back to sleep, but as Altima Look clearer on both Demonic Beast, Altima noticed that the cubs don''t seem to bear any similarities towards their parents, which means, either these 2 wolf Cubs are mutated, or perhaps Altima stumble towards a wrong Nest.

 Chapter 9 - First Production (Energy Yin Pills)

    Since there is no other treasures is left in the Wolf Nest, Altima leaves with the 2 cubs tied on a Leather Pouch and hang them on his waist before continuing his journey. Along the way, Another 10 Young Beanstalks, 2 Adult Beanstalks, as well as 2 Mandrakes is found by Altima, until he finally reaches the location he randomly looking for. This place is the Graveyard of the Bones, which been mentioned before Altima started his journey within this forest.

    Happily, Altima quickly entered the Graveyard after doing some simple initial Checking on the Surroundings.

    "Brother Mobi, do you have any comment if I am planning to do some cultivating around here ?", Altima quickly asks Mobi on his opinion, as his brother might have a more productive comment for them being around here.

    "I would say it is wise to cultivate over here for a short while too, This location Yin Energy are very concentrated, which could help in balancing your Raging Yang Energy during your practice on the Ascending Fist Martial Arts."

    "In the same time, You can use the Available chances to form some of the Yin Energy Pills as well. I Might need another few hours to half day too, to fully scan and research this place so I could come out with some efficient method to Absorb this abundant number of Yin Energy Essence scattered around here.", Mobi Says.

    With a change, Mobi Directed the Universal Interface, allowing Altima to choose the Selection of What should they Conduct during their time within this Graveyard of Bones.

    "Select you Options: Thorough Scanning (2 hours)."

    "Thorough Scanning Process begins, Completed in 2 hours."

    As the Scanning is current in progress, Altima quickly ventures around the Graveyard and easily dispose of all the available Threats within the Graveyard area Altima could see by his eye level. Within this Graveyard of Bones, where it''s mainly populated by the Corpse Worm, which looked like a size of an Ox. With a length of 3 metres long and 1 metre in heights, The Corpse worm are simply one of the easiest to encountered beast, due to its slow Movement, High defensive ability as well as lazy in nature.

    This Worm possesses a strength at 5th Stage of an Early Practitioner of Zen, and Usually only retaliates if being overly abused by the adventurers nearby its distance of reach. While for Altima, this is a great target, due to the possibility of obtaining the Rotten Corpse Substance. This Substance is one of the Cheap Ingredient which Highly sought after due to the Requirements to Produce an item called Corpse Scattering Powder.

    This Corpse Scattering Powder is often used by Traveller, Merchants or Adventurer during their travels, to ensure weak demonic beast do not venture or tries to get into the path of the Road where all the people travels. Although the effect is only applicable to the beast with lower than 5th Stage in Early Practitioner of Zen, sometimes some Groups of Beast about the range of Strength still will try to pass or invaded by them. Sometimes, the changes on the Environment and the population of the beast will make some difference too.

    As Altima Waiting for the Scanning to be completed, He quickly runs a through annihilation towards all the Corpse Worm he could find. Facing no heavy resistance from the Demonic Beast, Altima quickly disposes of the Worm, From 10 Worms in the first 20 Minutes to when 2 hours time limit has reached, Altima successfully Dispose a total of 65 Corpse worm, and obtain a total of 63 Bottle of the Unprocessed Rotten Corpse Substance.

    In between the 2 Hours, Altima manages to encounter 2 Wolfberry Essence Tree, where he manage to obtain a total of 4 Piece of the Wolfberry Essence Leaf. As the Clock tick sharp on 2 hours, A pop up shows from Mobi, Stated that the Thorough Scanning Process is completed.

    Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings."Confirmed Selection. Estimated Production Total: 500 Units."

    "Production complete in 8 Hours."

    As the Production goes on, Altima quickly takes a rough survey of their surroundings, before proceed to the closest Landmark, which is the Spring Pool of Dead Corpse. As if there is not enough time, Altima quickly Went over to Fill all the available Magical Pouch, which already prepared by the Guild towards each of their members. Immediately, Almost All the Pouches available to Altima is fully filled with the s available to Altima is fully filled with the Essence Water from the Dead Corpse Pool, which could be used to Craft a type of Antidote Water.

    As Altima Complete his Capacity of 5,000 Pouches, Immediately he starts to venture towards another Area, which is the Tree of Revival Fruits. Along the way, Altima encountered about 100 Corpse Worm and manage to totally annihilate the Residents before proceeding with his way each time. By adding another 95 Bottle of the Unprocessed Rotten Corpse Substance, Altima manages to procure a total of 158 Bottle of The substance.

    2 hours later, Altima Finally manages to Catch a glimpse of the Tree of Revival Fruits, but it comes together with a total of 15 Black Residue Covered Skeletons, Which come with a Cracked Sword and a Skull Looking Shield on another. Through the Books Read by Altima, This Skeleton should be the (Black)Moss Skeleton, which is the Lowest Ranked Skeleton among all the Other type of Undead Creatures.

    The Moss that wrapped around each of the bones is very useful as Parasite Repellent, which proofed by the Location which Swarmed by the Moss or undead usually Have no Powder Flower or Essence Devouring Snake Around. But although the (Black)Moss Skeleton is the lowest Ranked among the others, They still possessed a high 7th Stage of Early Practitioner of Zen Strength, Making them harder to be defeated.

    "I could really use some weapon now, But unfortunately, even in this world, Weapon are hardly come along, and they usually used as a strong spirit weapon. I guess I will need to try to lure them away from that location one by one."

    Immediately, Altima utilizes few different approach to lure the Skeleton over. First through Throwing some pebbles toward the skeleton which move most farthest from its other skeletons, and next by throwing some other items such as Blood Suckling Meat, and the Healing Ointments, all are not effective enough to attract the Skeleton towards where Altima is.

    But in a moment out of sudden, A skeleton is actually dropped and got its bones all scrambled away, due to the Revival Fruit falls directly on its head, smashing its skeletal body into small little bits. Each of the revival fruits is recorded to be about 50kg in weight when Ripe, and would required whole loads of preparation and cooking to produce a big pot of Stock which literally will go on without rotting for the next whole year. While for the cultivating ingredient, The most important part which is the seed will always come depending on the Luck. Through Random guess, it will be around 2 seeds to about 5 seed in each fruit.

    With this Luck in disguise, Altima manages to notice the traits of the skeleton, which is its hearing, where Altima next Trying to create a certain metal sound using the Metal Rod Tools he has within the Spatial Ring Storage, as well as one of the Unprocessed Arsalite Ore.

    "Tinggg..... Tinggg....."

    The voice echoed around Altima''s Surrounding, and slowly, he sneaks around until the Skeleton manages to capture the echo and immediately move towards Altima Position. Next, Altima sneaks away again from his current location, and Hide within a shrub and awaits the skeleton to get close towards him. As the distance between them is only 3 Step Distance, Altima quickly Adjust his position into a battle stance!

    Ascend of Tiger Fist! Ascend of Rhino Fist!

    Altima quickly land two strikes toward the Skeleton, Making it Losing its balance as well as destroying one Arm in the Sneak attack!

    Ascend of Tiger Fist!

    A third fist lands its target on the head, but only a crack appears on the Skull. In the same time, the Skeleton had its shield land directly on Altima, Pushing him away from the skeleton. Without waiting for another moment, the skeleton quickly performed a Shield Charge, which evaded by Altima through moving aside from its line of attack, both side quickly clashes, As Altima Move around using the Movement of Ghost Steps, while making the Skeleton busy looking for its ghost like targets.

    Soon, after few Exchange of Blows, Altima finally manage to destroy the skull of the Skeleton, letting the skeleton Dead once again before withdrawing the Knives prepared within the Spatial ring, and quickly carve out all the Black Moss around the bones growing on the skeleton. Just through the Fighting and Harvesting the skeleton process, it took Altima a total of 40 Minutes each skeleton.

    As Altima was done fighting with his 9th Skeleton, A notice came from Mobi, Indicating the Yin Energy Pill Production is complete!

    "Production Success: Energy Yin Pill."

    "Received a total of 521 Units of Energy Yin Pills and 10% in Production Experience."

    Great, This is my First batch of Productions!

 Chapter 10 - Revival Fruit & Dome of 3 Altars

    After all the Production and Fighting with a total of 9 Skeletons, Altima decided to give himself a rest before he continues with his 2nd Day. During this 32 Days event, All Members are allowed to Cultivate, Strengthen themselves and tried their best to breakthrough, While on the Material and ingredients gathered, that is categorized as 2nd Task. Meanwhile, for Altima, he tried personally Creating the Energy Yin Pills, where after a total of 5 Minutes is taken, He finally manage to Gather enough Yin energy to Form one Energy Yin Pill.

    "If I need 5 Minutes of meditation and absorption to create one Energy Yin Pill, I can max my output to only 12 Energy Yin Pills in one hour, which means by 8 hours, I might only manage to Create about 64 Pills. But with Brother Mobi Ability, I can even produce the Energy Yin Pills while Training and Cultivating. But I would need to be very careful. With this kind of ability to produce such a high amount of Pills, Will cause me to invite unnecessary Attention from other cultivators."

    "Brother Mobi, For the next few batch of Energy Yin Pill we will be Producing, Can it goes to your spatial inventory Directly ?"

    "Yes, of course, The Location where production will go is up to you to choose."

    "if in that case, let us process one more production on the energy yin Pills."

    While for Altima, He immediately Cultivates for the rest of the time until the early morning of next day.

    After another 8 hours of Resting Cultivation, the morning was greeted by the 2 Crying Wolf Cubs, as well as a prompt notice from Mobi, Stating another success of 530 Units of Energy Yin Pill and as well as 10% of experience again.

    As the Feeding is done well, both Wolf Cub returned to their sleeping mode, while Altima had himself prepared for his next Fight with the remaining (Black)Moss Skeleton. Luckily for this Spatial Land, the Killed Beast will take a long time to Spawn and Repopulate the whole area after some clean up. The only unfortunate will be the Ingredient which grows randomly within the spatial land will take a long time to regrow as well.

    Through spending another total of 4 hours, Altima finally manages to defeat the whole pack of Moss Skeleton, Fully harvests all the Moss Lumps around their skeletons and proceed to gather the remaining Revival Fruits.

    "Stupid Altima! Quickly Store the Fruits into my spatial Storage!", Mobi quickly orders Altima and had him stop from placing the fruits into his own spatial ring.

    "What''s Wrong, Brother Mobi ?", Altima felt weird with Mobi sudden Panic.

    "This fruit might be an important item for us to increase my Ability! Keep it with me for now!", Mobi impatiently has Altima quickly does as he wants.

    As the Item entered the Spatial Inventory possessed by Mobi, A Notice Quickly came out, Indicating a certain Item is Gathered.

    "Obtained Revival Fruits x 4 , Private Cultivating Farm Progress by 8%"

    "Brother Mobi, What is this Private Cultivating Farm ?"

    "Based on my Knowledge, this is a private Space where you can Alter the Growth and Type of Cultivating Ingredient Plants within the Space, but since it''s incomplete, I guess we need to look for more such fruits."

    "And for your information, once this Farm is successfully Expanded, you will have about half acres of Land , which about 2,000 Square Metres for your Plantation. And perhaps you might place both of the mutated Breed of Wolf inside as well."

    "Too bad there is only 1 tree over here, if not we could quickly cultivate the land and start utilizing it."

    "Stupid Kid, there is plenty of different materials that could be used as the replacement, and it is not restricted to only revival fruits."

    "Then that''s really a good news."

    As the duo finish their talking, Altima started to venture deeper into the graveyard, searching for the Spot where it''s written as Abandon Tomb and also the Trap of Abyss. After walking endlessly searching for the remains and indicator for both landmark, Altima met with nothing but Corpse Worm Resistance and also some Moss Skeleton. Throughout the next 5 days, except gathering for some materials as well as hunting, Altima manage to procure about a total of 16 Wolfberry Essence Leaf, 1,000 Unprocessed Rotten Corpse Substance, 40 Lump of Moss from the Skeleton, as well as 4 Scarlet Red Pearl from a slightly bigger Corpse Worm.

    But on the 6th day, Mobi Finally manage to Found the Leftover Sign indicating there is previously a group of Humans who walked pass through this part of the land to a certain Location. Following the Leftover Prints which undisturbed after left for so long, Altima believe that this group of people is most likely Around Peak of Early Practitioner of Zen or perhaps Early of Warrior Practitioner of Zen Tier.

    Soon after following the Prints for so long, Altima Finally reaches a part where the Footprints are all disappeared, Leaving only a Huge Hole which roughly covered by the vines around the Hole, making it looked like a Crater instead of a huge hole. Walking and checking on the Ground, Soil as well as any resident living around this hole, Altima finally hypothesis and assume that this top are not the Real 100 Threats, perhaps if he venture slightly lower, he could find out where is the hidden Trap and threats scattered around this Hole.

    Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

    Tying himself with a rope made from the sturdy vines, Altima descends slowly towards the inner side of the hole, with each metre depth he entered, The Vines around seems to be Thinner and Thinner, While the Putrid smell came from the Bottom started to get unbearable. Luckily for Altima, who used to be an Assassin, this smell is nothing weird for him.

    "There must be a big Amount of Dead Body Within this Hole! Before this, Even I believe that many cultivators fall to their death during their explore on this Location."

    Gathering all the Available Fire Wood Altima have in his Pouch, He started to Toss one Fire Torch each time he descends for about 2 metres. While for each fire Torch Tossed, Altima tried his best to listen to the Voice to notice the end of the Torch Falls. After 10 Torch had been tossed, Altima comes out with 2 temporary Conclusions.

    First, The Bottom of the Trap of Abyss is a Water or Pool of water, which answer why no Bounce of Voice could hear, as well as the Fire Dimmed before reaching its ending.

    Second, the Bottom is still far away from Altima''s Reach. Currently, within Altima''s Inventory(in Mobi), there is still 150 Ropes of Vine Still Available, which could allow Altima to descend for another 50 to 100 Metres if he Uses it Wisely. Through Mobi Assistance, Altima found out that he already Descend into the Hole for at least 26 Metres Deep. Repeating the Same procedure, Altima finally notices a slight Changes from the Surrounding wall after he clocks the Depth of 50 Metres.

    The Soil of the Wall Started to become slight Brownish in colour, While there is more and more Granite is seen between each gap of Rocks. This concluded another Answer for the Death of the Cultivators when they fall into this Hole, Which is during the Impact with this Granite Rocks. Continue with his descend, Altima Soon Reach the Number of 70 Metres Depth. The Walls Started to have some Crawling Shelled Insects, which Looked like some Roaches and some looked like the Fleas with 2 Strong like Human Arm Thick Back Legs.

    Finally, Altima manages to See a Dim Looking Fire from the Bottom, Which Informing him that the bottom of the Hole is finally could be seen. Altima quickly toss a few more Torches towards his North, South, East and West to look for the threats, but to his surprises, The whole Bottom of the Hole is Filled with at least 60 to 70 Flesh Eating Ghouls, With about 20 Corpse Worms and 10 more Moss Skeleton, but this Moss Skeleton is about a Quarter Bigger and Taller than what Altima could see outside of the Hole.

    In one more Clearer Glance, Altima noticed that some of the Ghoul came in a proper attire, Indicating that before they are dead, they are most probably the Cultivator, or adventurer who manage to survive the Granite Rock Section, But falls directly in the middle of the Ghouls, and got killed or eaten alive. Other than few well dressed Ghouls, there is a plenty numbers of Backpack, Spatial Rings as well as package of Food or other provision looking items scattered on the Floor.

    Preparing himself, Altima quickly Splash the Essence Water of Dead Corpse, the Distract the Surrounding ghouls to gather away from his landing spot. As Altima Lands, He Immediately Retied a Knot on the Vines he used to Descend and placing it out of reach from the Packs of Ghouls. In that instant, Altima quickly Check on his path of escape in case the Ghouls is attacking him into a corner, Altima quickly sense that there is no other way of escape, This Bottom of the Hole is literally a Dome of the Dead, with only 3 Altars on the North, Written "DEMON", on the West, Written "DEATH" and lastly in the East, Written "STRENGTH".

    Quickly, Altima Launched a Control Technique to rearrange the Crowd of Ghouls while moving around with his Movement of Ghost Steps, Although the Ghouls Threat Level are lower than Moss Skeleton, Which is only at the 5th Stage of Early Practitioner Tier, but Added together with the Study Skin and Disabled Respiratory of Feeling Pain, The Ghoul Could be trouble if one encountered them in huge numbers.

    Trying his best effort, Altima repeats his Progress for few more times until he manages to dispose of all the 100 Threats Within this Dome of Death. Thanks to all the preparation he made, as well as assistance from Mobi and the System, Allowing Altima to Discern his Body Condition, The Opponent Condition, As well as Hidden Threats undetected by Altima Personally.

    Over the Next 5 Days, Altima Spend it Thoroughly Searching and Inspecting the Dome, During the Time Altima not moving around inspecting, The Production of Energy Yin Pills is still running Smooth, For Altima Current Progress, a total of 18,000 Plus Energy Yin Pill is kept within Mobi''s Inventory, While only 521 Pills is Left inside the Spatial Ring. The Production Ability thus Increased to Level 3 Instead of Level 0 Back then, but currently, no special Traits to be seen yet.

    At Day 12, Altima Finally Stopped the Production works conducted by Mobi and Start checking the Available Inventory he manage to reserve, save and procure within this Dome. After a Through Checking and Arrangement, Altima Manage to Save a total of 100 Black Moss Lump, 20 Demonite Stones, 7 Wolf Pelts, 20 Demonic Beast Blood (Animals), 200 Unprocessed Ore of Arsalite, 2,000 Energy Yin Pills, 1,000 Energy Yang Pills, 1 Pair of Jade Reinforced Knuckle Gloves, and a total of 12 Tags from the deceased''s Guild members.

    Other than all this, Altima Manage to Reserve 2 Different Martial Arts from the Corpse which yet to decay thoroughly, after allowing Mobi to totally Scan and Restructure the Different Formula and Incantation for Practice. This 2 Martial Arts most probably belong to the Thousand Members Guild, Due to most of the formula only available within the 12 Corpse.

 Chapter 11 - New Martial Arts & The Book of Ascension!

    As Altima Run across the Descriptions written within the Skills in the Interface formed by Mobi, He roughly Can guess that these 2 martial arts belong to the Branch of the Wu Dang Sect in the Earth Martial Arts.

    3 Style Zhen Wu Shaking Iron Palm (Early Warrior Practitioner Of Zen Martial Arts)

    1st Form - Zhen Wu Iron Palm Shakes the Sea

    2nd Form - Zhen Wu Iron Palm Shakes the Earth

    3rd Form - Zhen Wu Iron Palm Shakes the Heaven

    5 Stage Of Zhen Wu Warrior Body (Early - Late Warrior Practitioner of Zen Martial Arts)

    4th Stage (Warrior Heart - Increase Essence Energy to Warrior Tier)

    5th Stage (Warrior Mind - Increase Overall Capability to Peak Warrior Tier to Early Master Practitioner Tier)

    With this additional 2 Martial Arts at early Warrior Practitioner Tier, Altima Capability had been increased to Even higher now, but before any practice and Cultivating, For one Early Practitioner of Zen to use a Warrior Practitioner skills is literally wasting all his Ability and Qi to launch a deadly attack, if the opponent is not going down, the user will be the one going down.

    Without taking shortcuts on his cultivation, Altima continues his next part of works within this Dome of Death. Firstly, Altima walks toward the Altar of Death, Where there is one Scroll of Which made with woods. As Altima Opened and Read pass the Scroll.

    "My Death is One Unexpected Occurrence. Being One of the Ascending From Mortal to Immortal, I should be Qualified More than enough To face the Tribulations, Yet I am taken down, Injured, And betrayed by people I trust the Most."

    "My Legend Passed Down through 8 Continents, Where each of this continent, Consist of At least one Branch Family of my Offspring. Ever Since I Ascend to Immortal, My Family Prospers. Being hailed as The Monarchs in each of the Continent, My Successor, all Possess the quality to break through Ascension."

    "Unexpectedly, My Successor started to Decline. Internal Conflict raised between Continents, Brothers and Siblings, Cousins and In-Laws, Each holding a Knife towards another throat, Slowly killing as the rise of Hatred, Greed, and Pride, Slowly Consume them."

    "Without any Remorse, My Offspring, Slowly met their demise, While I am Within the Realm of Immortals, Being Ignorant, and Taking them as child Arguments, where easily concluded. But, I am Wrong."

    "When I finally take my actions, Its Too late. My Offspring is dying, Down to the Last Successor, not even a pure Blood of them remains. 8 Continent Facing their worst Nightmare, Destructions is everywhere. Wherever I tried to see, Is only Bodies of my Child. The Blood on the River and Flesh of the Demonic Bird is eating, came from my Own."

    "To End this Scroll, I Place this Scroll here as a reminder to you who manage to enter my Dome, Do not Succumb to the Sin inside you. To Ascension, You would require nothing More than Something."

    "GoldenLock"

    Through The completion of Reading the Death Scroll, A sudden Burst of energy Shined out from the Death Altar, and Soon, The whole altar Vanished without a trace there had been an Altar on the same spot before.

    Next, Altima moved towards the Demon Altar And Checked on the Item Placed above the Altar.

    "If you are fated, This Demon will Belong to you for Life."

    "Silly Kid, This thing inside seems to be something Suitable for me, Quickly, Open it.", Mobi Says in a rush, and on the same spot, He transformed back to his Slime appearance, but this time, he looked even more grand with a Shiny Black Metallic Hue around its body.

    Without wasting a time, Altima Touched the Orb that placed on top of the Altar, and the Orb Replied with Purple coloured lights. Soon, A facial expression formed within the Orbs, as the orb melted and Reveal the Demon within the Orb.

    "Gobi?", Mobi called out a name.

    "Mobi ?", The Purple coloured Demon within, replying the calls by calling Mobi''s Name.

    "What in the earth are you doing in this world ?"

    "Why are you here with a human ?"

    "Mobi how much had you grown now ?"

    "Mobi where is the others ?"

    "Mobi"

    "Mobi", The (Purple) Slime Gobi keep shooting questions nonstop.

    "Argh! Shut UP!", Mobi quickly shuts Gobi mouth, and Mobi immediately Land few Hits on Gobi to shut him up.

    This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

    "Gobi, Faster Get the Hell out after you done your Task!"

    As the two slimes slowly exchange their words, Soon enough, Gobi Turned into a Purple Light and got himself Absorbed by Mobi immediately. In a short 5 Minutes, Mobi Quickly opened himself and came out with even better interface, which seems to be an upgrade from his previous version.

    "Are you Shocked ? He is also a fellow Universe Slime like I do, but differences are, He had been taken away since eons of ages, while I''m just taken out for 5 years when you are reincarnated.

    "But don''t Put me and him in the Same spot! I am a Noble within the Universe Slime, And this guy is just a basic Information Slime, not even worth a spec of Experience he could offer to the Great me.", Mobi Checked, and Directly Zoom towards the Interface.

    "Mobi - Universe Slime - Level 1 - 0.40% / 100%"

    "See, Only 1 Level for a fella whom with a person who happen to be Ascension. This guy is seriously either lazy, or that Immortal are too weak."

    But for Altima, This Immortal could still Kill him without any difficulties, which is why he doesn''t Dare to make any rash comments. Quietly, he moves towards the Last Altar, which is in the East, Written as Strength. As Altima Reached the Spot, Three Different Coloured Pills Appeared on the Altar, Floating in the Middle of the Air. Altima quickly Had his hand grabbed on the 3 Different coloured Pills, and Focus next in Reading the Final Message Left by the Immortal.

    "This 3 Different Pills, is what I had left after I am Being led to my demise. Being Thoroughly Destroyed, I lost my family, and my successors, where my First Ascension Bridge is Destroyed. I lost my Trust towards the person I believe the most, this Destroying my Second Ascension Bridge. I lost my Confidence, and my Might thus received a Tribulation for disgrace, where my Third Ascension bridge is Destroyed."

    "With this, I lost all I have, even until the ability to choose a qualified successor to continue my legacy. Here, Left 3 Pills which Will be able to save you in case you are in a Difficult Situation."

    "The First Black Pill is to Bring Back one life from the Death of Cultivation."

    "The Second Green Pill is to Bring Back One life from the Death of Tribulation."

    "The Third Rainbow Pills is to Bring Back One life from the Death of Ascension."

    "With this 3 Pills which known as 3 Nirvana Reawakens Tablet, I hope you will have enough to create your legacy."

    "GoldenLock"

    With this 3 Altar Vanished from the Dome, Slowly but sure, this place will be Covered up and remade into a barren land of nothing, as formulated by the Immortal. Altima Give him one final Bow, as a respect, and Make himself a promise to not lightly face the Difficulties the Immortal Lost his life to.

    As Altima Returned towards the Ground, A holy Shining Bird is flying in a total number of 16 Birds, Indicating that 1 weeks has passed, and only 1 more week before the Evacuation of all Guild Members from this Spatial Land. But for Altima, this first week had just proof itself to be the most Important Thing Happened in his life.

    As for now, Altima Decided to Spend most of his time to Cultivate. Through Utilizing the Leftover 40 Piece of the Balancing Zen Pills, Altima Quickly Rose his Cultivation from the 7th Stage to 8th Stage of Early Practitioner of Zen. Next, Through Hard practice, Altima Manage to Quickly increase his Mastery on the 2 New Martial Arts, Allowing him to Reach the First Stage of the 5 Stage of Zhen Wu Warrior Body.

    Meanwhile, Things are even more difficult for the Zhen Wu Shaking Iron Palm. Through Spending the Balance of 16 Days towards his cultivation, Altima still failed to grasp a small success on this Martial Arts, while his Other 2 Early Practitioner Martial Arts, The 8 Ascending Fist and Sturdy Body of Zen Practitioner, is successfully Refined into 3 Times Refined Martial Arts. With the Success of 3 Times Refining, The Sturdy Body of Zen Practitioner is now in the Highest Peak of Early Practitioner Martial Arts, While the 8 Ascending Fist requiring a lower Requirement to Successfully launch an attack.

    As the 32 Days of Big Hunt Events is Finished, Altima Returned towards the Guild Management Hall altogether with other Guild members, and within the 3,900 Members, a casualties of 700 Members is reported. From the rumours spreading around, It''s been Heard that the Group of members is actually located at the Northern Most within the Spatial Land, which Reside and Infested with the Group of Infernal Goatsmen.

    With Such Strong 5th Stage of Warrior Practitioner of Zen crowd as opponents, The members that failed to escape the hunt. End up being treated as a human buffet, and easily butchered by the Goatsmen which literally running everywhere. Meanwhile on the Central Mountain, The King of Beast, Is in its awaken State, where a few unlucky cultivators actually stumble his nest looking for some of the Treasures. Facing an Early Spiritual Practitioner of Zen, even 10 lives wouldn''t be enough to run.

    "For Members who wished to Handover the Materials or Crystals as interest, Trading, Please proceed to the Management Department, Events Hall.", Said a management Guild Member.

    In a hurry, Altima quickly proceeds towards the Events Hall and looking towards on the crowd. Currently, Everybody is taking a look on what kind of item is brought back from the Big Hunt. After all, there are a remaining 3,200 Members, the numbers of ingredients and Materials brought back will always be the targets of next hunt which will be coming in another 6 months.

    This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there."Thank you Vice Guild Master, May the Guild Prosper above the Rest, and be the best among the best!"

    After all the Award ceremony is done, Altima is now a Rank 1 - Stage 7 Guild Members. But for now, Instead of Heading towards the other department, Altima quickly return towards his current Room and Proceed with Feeding both Wolf Cubs. As the cubs are fully fed, they both Rest on Altima''s Bed, while Altima Withdraw a few items within the Spatial Ring given to him, and place it into Mobi''s Spatial Inventory instead.

    "Stunning Green Jade Glove - Early Warrior Practitioner Tier Weapon (Glove type - Attack and Defensive type)

    Soulless Grade - Cannot be Imbued and Refine."

    "I actually manage to get myself such a suitable Glove Weapon, unfortunately, it cannot be refined and imbued. Maybe I can use this weapon until I found myself another one better."

    "I should visit the Trade and Exchange Hall next.", Packing himself with the number of Ingredient he will not be using, and there, Altima pays a visit to the Trade and Exchange Department.

    Ten of minutes later, Altima reached the Department and started to Exchange all the unused Ingredient with the Hall, which gives him an amount of 710 Units of the Contribution Points in one go. Next, through the exchange rates of 10 : 5, Altima Exchanged a total of 200 Young Beanstalks as well as 100 Stems of Powder Flower, under the Reasons of Practicing and having fun with Concocting.

    As the ingredients are all available in Altima''s Spatial Ring, He proceeds towards the Alchemy Department, Where he Quickly Rent out a room to try on the Concoction Techniques. As he paid 25 Points for the Fee and entered the Room with Apparatus and other equipment such as the cauldron, Concoction Pills, and other main Tools, the Room is Filled with many Written Formulas as well as Methods of Simple Medicine or Cultivation Concocting.

    Immediately, Altima Place a total of 50 Portions into Mobi''s Interface Concocting, While Trying on himself for the balance of 50 Portions. For this Balancing Zen Pills, Only one Flame is required, due to its level are currently only within the First Tier Cultivating Resources. By Accumulating a strong Focus on His own Yang Energy, Altima quickly Form an orb of Yang Energy Essence, to be used as a Concocting Fire.

    Next Step, Altima utilize his Yin Energy to Extract the Juice within the Stem of Powder Flower and Place it within the Pill cauldron to preheat the Substance, While Slowly Adding the Young Immature beans from the stalks into the Cauldron. As the Fire is getting slightly unstable, Altima Reduce the Concentration of the Yang Essence within the orb and quickly move his Yin Energy around the Cauldron to make the Ingredient Mix together.

    A moment after, The 4 Different Extracts from the Bean started to seep out from the bean, leaving the bean pod dried, which required being removed immediately, as the Pods is removed, The Substance started to Mix together, Forming a clear coloured pill, where all the Medicinal properties are still in the middle of absorbing the Yin and Yang Essence.

    Soon, The Pill colour Changed to a Deeper Brown Colour, and as soon as the Yin and Yang Energy revolve between the Pill is fully absorbed, The fragrant of the Pill starting to flow from the Pill Cauldron, Indicating a success in the Concoction.

    "Great Job Kid, Although you are stupid, but you can actually still manage to Concoct a pill based on your knowledge, Controls, and Yin Yang Temperature handling.", Mobi gives Altima a praise, but it came together with slightly sarcastic words.

    "Anyway, Continue your Practice, this could help you slightly in  your future Ingredient procurement, as well as Interface Concoction too.", Says Mobi.

    "Do my own skills and understanding affects the Interface of Function too ?", Altima is stunned with why Mobi is telling him this Information now.

    "Don''t Look at me in this way, I''ve just got this information from the moment I had Gobi Absorbed into my Essence Sea. Seems like through User Skills will affect the interface slightly. This explained as well why Gobi is so weak, what I could come out as a hypothesis will be when the Immortal he is Guarding is Been bring down to his demise, Gobi''s Condition to be affected, which explain why Gobi is utterly a rubbish when he is found by us."

    "Anyway, you better be proceeding quickly with your Process, Remember you have 2 Little Cubs home, they are still Demonic Beast after all.", Mobi Quickly finishes his word and gone silent.

    Then for the next 8 hours, Altima spend all his effort busy Concocting the Balancing Zen Pills, which results out as a total of 21 Success, and a failure of 29 Portions. Since this is his personal Practicing and Concocting Training, No Status report is shown within his reports, except that from the 50 Portion of Balancing Zen Pills Processed by the interface, a total of 22 Portion of Balancing Zen Pills is successfully Concocted.

    With this Result, Altima''s Concocting Experience within the Interface manages to increase into a Level 3 Concocting Function and stay at a 44% experience. Next, Altima Conduct a thorough Check on the quality of the Pills he concocted as well as the Pill the System Concocted. On the surface, no Difference was to be found, but after trying out the Pills with some Yin and Yang Essence, The Pills Concocted through the System Interface are pretty much Similar to each other, which gave a feeling of Mass Concocted at once. Although such Practice is possible, but this trick could be only done by professional Alchemist and Pill Masters, which Rarely seen within the Continents.

    With the 21 Successful Pills he personally Concocted, Altima walks toward the Trade and Exchange Department, and Tried to Trade in the 21 Pills into Points, so he could purchase more of the Ingredient to Concoct more Pills. As the Staff looked at the Pills and Check on Altima''s Previous Trade Records, he was surprised and said.

    "Kid seems like your luck is not too bad in the first trial."

    "Yes, I happened to Trade in a total of 100 Portions of the ingredient, and manage to succeed a 21 Pills among 100 Portions.", Answered Altima.

    "If in this case, the Department usually purchase the Pills with the price of 150 Points each, but since this is your first tries, I will give you 160 Points for each Pill. Continue to do your best in this expertise.", The staff replied Altima back and withdraw a total of 3,360 total worth of points, and another 21 Portions of the Ingredient for the Balancing Zen Pills as a reward.

    "The Guild Rules stated, For each Medicinal or Cultivating Resources Trade in by the Members, you will receive the same amount of ingredient or Points so you could keep on trying your best for next batch.", The Staff Said.

    "If I could just maintain my experience and concoct Loads of Balancing Zen Pill, I''m Gonna be RICH!"

    Out of sudden, Altima burst with A craze of Happy reactions.

    "I''m GONNA BE RICH!"

 Chapter 13 - Leveling Mobi, First Spatial Realm Unlock!

    Ever Since the Concocting give Altima a Good results in earning more points, in the next 1 Month, Altima is literally stuck within the Alchemy Room, Practicing his Concocting Skills. Little do the Public or other members knew, Altima is Barely showing them the Only results came from half of the Portion he concocts personally, and there is still more success Concocting stored within his Special Spatial Inventory.

    As for the Trip towards the Martial Hall, Altima totally forgets about the issue he has two Martial Arts to choose from. But for Altima, This Concoction Practice shall come to an end after today. Although The Ingredient to make the Balancing Zen Pills are not any rare ingredient, The Restriction is still placed towards the ingredient. Based on Altima Current Rank and Stage within the Guild, He could only request a maximum of 100 Portions in one day. Which means in this 62 Days, Altima only manages to successfully Concoct a total of 6,200 Tries.

    In the 6,200 Tries, 3,100 Portion is Processed with the System, where 1,450 Portion is a success. While for the other 1650 Portion, it is a failure. With this number of Concoction, Altima System Skill manages to Increase to Level 5, but Standing Still at 100%. Perhaps Altima would require a different Type of Concoction to master before he can increase the Cap of his Concoction skills.

    Meanwhile, for Altima''s Real Life Concoction, he succeeds 1,320 Times in his 3,100 Tries. With this progress, Altima manages to practice his Concocting Skills into the same level as a Base Early Concocting Master. In total, Altima trade in a total of 1,000 Balancing Zen Pills into the Trade and Exchange Department, and in return, Altima currently holding a total of 137,850 Total points of Guild Contribution. With this number of Points, Altima has an intention to Exchange this total points into One Special Recipe which the Guild was Trying to Sell out.

    This first option to Spend 100,000 Points on will be to purchase this Recipe called the Twin Yin Yang Pill. This pill appears in the record of Primordial Age, Which is during the Reign of Baran Almant XVIII. This Pill recipe is believed to be the Cultivating Resource for that era, due to the Essence contained within the atmosphere is too thick and heavy, which caused the Cultivator to enter the stage of Berserk during cultivation, and rage across the land.

    With this Twin Yin Yang Pill, The Cultivation is Believe to be going much smoother with Less after cultivation effect, but due to the resources are not abundant during that age, this recipe is quickly forgotten and replaced, which is where the Milder but safe Balancing Zen Pill is introduced into the market, and quickly become a form of currency within the whole world.

    Next Option, will be by exchanging An Extra Martial arts from the Martial Hall. This Martial art is a Formation martial Arts Called as "The Physical Formation of 8 Strikes". This is a restricted martial art which Only will be allowed to learn after the Members paying a total of 100,000 Points Upfront, and if in the case of Failed Practice, the Book are to be returned after 6 months. Through a Few Failed cultivators who tried to practice this martial Arts says that this Arts most probably is going to be at least Spiritual Practitioner of Zen Tier.

    Lastly, Will be the option to Purchase a total of 960 Units of Arsalite Ingots for 48,000 Contribution Points. With this total, Mobi will have a good chance to Breakthrough Level 3 Universal Slime, thus obtaining and unlock certain special Function for Altima''s Usage. But what''s bothering them both will be the "What if the Level gain but the skill is yet to be unlocked ?"

    As Altima Hesitates on his selection, He finally reaches his room after some walking, once the door is opened, Two Wolf Cubs, which is with the size about a young German Shepard, Charge towards Altima and quickly pounce him down on the floor before licking his face until it''s wet. If the word wet could not be explained how excited the wolf cub is, Perhaps by stating they Wolf is Licking Altima like they saw him as a piece of meat would be better.

    "Stupid Kid, are you still hesitating in what choice you should make with the 100,000 Points ?", Mobi Asked Altima on his decision, since he is still indecisive with it.

    "Brother Mobi, Do you think that based on my current age, Will I have enough time to break through the Immortal Stage ?", Altima Bounce the question away with another question.

    "Why ? Are you worries on your Developments? Ignore those mind games with yourself, With me around, you can be said to have the best Resources, Protection, Knowledge as well as Information throughout your life. Be it you are genius or not, you will still pass the Immortal Stage when you reach the Peak of the Pre-Ascension Tier.", Mobi Quickly answered Altima''s Question.

    "If in that case, Lets Develop Brother''s Skill First. I believe this would be the better Choice for both of us."

    "Tell me your reasons, I still have the right to accept your Choice or not, after all, I am your guardian."

    "Back in my Previous life, I am pretty much a Free to do anything I like, Just like being a Warlord."

    "With the Available Assistance, System and technologies, I am able to Fully conduct all the Killing, Robbing, and Assassinate all the targets I deem Dangerous, Damaging, and Politically Corrupt."

    "But this all changed, after the Organization that depends on me, Betrayed by their Agents, and We got pushed into the corner. Later on, I realized that even my Organization had given up on me."

    "In that one moment, I am betrayed, all the things I had in my hand, Like my weapon, is only maintainable by the organization. The Bullets and Explosive only could be gotten through Legal Conduct and Militarized Body. In one time before my death, I am even betrayed by the Explosive that I stole from a group of Tyrants."

    "This is the reason why I can understand and fated to be able to meet the Previous Death Immortal. Because both of our life is fully of disappointment, Betrayal, and Deceit."

    "Acceptable!, I would never Believe you if you say you wanted to focus more on me for no reason.", Mobi Smiled, after listening to Altima''s Side of the story.

    Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.

    "Do you want to listen to my Life too ?", Mobi Offered his story to Altima.

    "Sure, What is so amazing about my Brother Mobi ?", Altima Cheekily questioned about Mobi''s Special Traits.

    "During the Starting of this Ring of Universe, We are Birthed through the Clashing Rocks and Meteorites. We spend almost 99.99999999% of our Time looking and being Pushed towards everywhere by the exploding Meteorites, Which last long for I wonder how many Trillion of years."

    "Soon, The Next Being in this Universe, Gods appeared, and all of them are well Built to Wage War and Rules over all the other Tribes as they appear, until the gods slowly fall in power, due to the Mix breed happening across this Universe."

    "And later, Human Appears. Weak but Smart, Human could slowly cultivate themselves until they manage to raise into an Immortals."

    "But the Gods does not willing to Share the Immortality Plane with some other weak Tribes, So a War happened. Of course, They Human Starting to Lose, due to their sheer numbers and Cultivation are not up to the Par with the Gods."

    "And this is where, One Person whom came over to us, A Mortal, whom later been hailed as the Jade Emperor among the Immortals."

    "He talked to us, and had us cooperate to Create a Fair and Peaceful Plane, where all tribes are allowed to Live how they would like to."

    "And which is why, All of us, 1,088 Universal Slime, Join into this Plane Wars and Currently, I might be one of the few Universe Slime within this World."

    "Listen to me, Altima Boy. Except me, Do not Trust anyone. You may trust your Family and your descendants in future, but remember the Immortal''s Word, as well as mine.", Mobi End his Sharing of origins, but together with a warning too.

    "I will, Brother Mobi. Now, Except 3 of us, you can be at ease.", Altima Assure Mobi on his Choice and Trust.

    On the Following Day, Altima Pay a visit towards the Trade and Exchange Department, and Made a request for a Huge amount of Arsalite Ingots. Due to the large amount, it took Altima a total of 5 Days to completely Trade the total of 960 Units of Arsalite Ingot, after spending 48,000 Contribution points. Next, Within the Room, Mobi Finally couldn''t Suppress himself anymore, And quickly had the Arsalite Ingot Devoured and Reach the Next Level.

    "Universe Slime Reach the Level 2 - Interface Upgraded."

    "Universe Slime Reach Level 2 - 1st Spatial Realm is Unlock!"

    "Please choose your Spatial Realm Type: Plantation / Mine Veins / Essence Resources / Livestock / Storage."

    "Can I try to check what''s Available within each Type ? Description Select! Plantation!"

    "Ability Insufficient, Need more Basic Knowledge."

    "Information, Plantation!"

    "Since There is no additional Information in this Part, And based on my  current cultivation and Achievements, I would be deciding in Choosing the Plantation Spatial Realm!", Altima Speak himself clearly and Select his Choice.

    "Plantation Spatial Realm Chosen!"

    "Current Plantation Spatial Realm: 100 Plots Square of Land. Required Total 0/100,000 Harvest to Level Up. Current Level: 0. "

    "Yes!"

    "From now on, My next target is going to be Plantation Subjects, as well as Cultivating to break through the Early Practitioner of Zen Tier!"

 Chapter 14 - Return to Thousand Insect Forest!

    With the Dilemma of where to spend the contribution, points are decided, Altima finally decided that he would be required a week or perhaps two back to his family. Under the approval of Wu Feng, Altima leaves the vicinity of the Guild, and renting a caravan, while leaving with many provisions as well as some expensive cultivating resources. Alongside in the caravan, came about 10 types of Plantation seeds, which range from 5 seeds to 50 seeds.

    One of the main reason for Altima to return to his family at such time is due to the Forest of Thousand Insects are on their most active season currently. With this season called the "Emperor of the Forest Competition", all fighters within the insect, beast and other beings as a resident in the forest will be participating, where only the final 5 strongest Participants will be ruling the forest until the next competition starts.

    On the same time, there will be outsiders joining into this season, which is the treasure hunters, military organization, or sometimes even members of a Clan or Sect. As the caravan traveled nonstop for 6 hours, Altima finally reaches the home he was longing for since the day he left and joined the Thousand Members Guild.

    "Father! Mother! I''m Home!", Altima quickly shouts while running, and let his parents notice his return.

    "My Child!", Altima''s Mother is the first to run out from the house, and quickly heads towards her beloved son.

    Meanwhile, for Wayne, he too was happy, but not as excited as his wife due to he always had the news about his child during the time Altima is within the guild.

    "Father, Your child came back with many goods, let me bring it all into the house, and park the caravan on the side of our home.", Altima quickly offered himself to do some odd works while pushing his parent home.

    That night, the family is having a good meal, sharing stories, until the Sun rises the next day. In the morning, when the family is chilling outside of their home, taking a walk together as a family, Wayne suddenly came out with a weird sentence.

    "Are you still not convinced enough to appear within our eyes ?", Wayne looks toward the bracelet on Altima hand.

    "Dear, if it wanted to come out, It will.", Altima''s Mother added.

    "Father, Mother, you both ??", Altima feeling slightly weird.

    In that moment, Mobi Transform himself back to the Universe Slime looks, and jumps in front of the parents.

    "Father, did you know that my bracelet is actually my Brother here ?"

    "Why wouldn''t we know ? I''m your parents, and I am almost like the person who give birth to you both.", Altima''s Mother explained.

    "Mother, Sorry for being ignorant for this few years, I''m Under certain circumstances too.", Mobi quickly explained himself, while calling Mother as well.

    "It''s not a big deal with me, as long both of my beloved babies are together like what you are now. Mobi right ? Make sure you both knows we are one family, be it you are a slime or not, is not important. What most important is, you both came together from me, thus you both are my child.", Altima''s Mother added, while gentle caressing Mobi in her arms.

    Later on that day, Altima had a talk with his father, while handling over a deeper cultivation technique and the two Zhen Wu Martial arts to his father, thus allowing Wayne to further his cultivation. Currently, Wayne is stagnating in the 2nd Stage of the Warrior Practitioner of Zen Tier, where due to the insufficient resources, and an absurd amount is needed to break through the next stage.

    Alongside with a total of 1,000 Balancing Zen Pill, Altima had his father came out with a new hope of getting his next Breakthrough, while on the same time, Altima had himself hole up within the forest for his Plantation Realm progress. Through the Interface assistance, Altima manage to auto process with the Planting of 10 Seeds of Hanging Beanstalk Tree, as well as 10 Powder Flower Seeds. After Cultivating for another 6 hours, the first notice came from the Interface, indicating the Beanstalk Tree is 50% matured.

    While for the Powder Flower, The Maturity is completed from the 6-hour progress, and Currently available for harvest, with a special Condition to select.

    "5 Pollen of Powder Flower are Available for migration, Continue Growing ?"

    "Yes."

    And thus, the Farm are currently regrowing with 5 Powder Flower bulbs, where the growing time is reduced by 1 hour.

    During this waiting moment, Altima was no time, and continue his training in his martial arts, as well on his cultivation and tried to break through the 8th stage and enter the 9th stage of Early Practitioner of Zen. A the time pass day by day, Altima spend almost all his time within the forest researching about how the Interface works. After cultivating and training for about 8 days, Altima finally came out with a base idea on how this Spatial Realm works.

    The Growth of the seed are not limited, but will take longer time if no Feed or enhancer is added.

    Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

    The Number of Harvest varies between Trees, Flowers or Fruits. Ten same Tree from the same batch of seed may yield a different harvest.

    The Difference between Trees, Flowers, Fruits, Stems or Plants is the type itself. Trees can be harvest Twice or Thrice before Withered and Cleared, Flowers is only once, but with a possibility of Migrating the Pollen upon maturity or harvest. Fruits could be harvest each few hours, days, and will not wither except removed option is chosen, but will take more plots within the limited space. Stems can only be harvest once. Thus the higher quantity of seed is required for stem based ingredient. Lastly is the Plants, where only The body of the plant is used. Regrowth possibility is varying depend on the plant itself.

    Each Type of Plantation have their own Difference time of growth, Example, Beanstalks Tree takes 12 hours to grow and mature to produce young beanstalks, while the second, and third harvest are 5 hours after the first harvest. If the tree is left for further maturity, an additional 12 hour is required to allow the beanstalk to matured into Adult Stage, Old Stage, and finally the high-quality beans Stage.

    While for the Flowers, First Maturity usually takes 6 hours minimum, and for the migrating pollens, 5 hours is required instead compared with the seeds. Next, comes the fruits, which take a total of 60 hours to grow and mature for producing fruits, but each harvest or produce might take a span of 6 to 12 hours to be ready. Stems plant took the longest, where about 72 hours minimum to fully grown and ready for harvest. And lastly, Plants growth are varies depending on the type.

    Currently, in Altima''s inventory, he has a total of 40 Seeds of the Hanging Beanstalk Tree and a total of 40 Powder Flower Seeds left. As for her first Harvest, Altima manage to Procure a total of 45 Young Beanstalk before the 10 trees wither, as well as a total of 15 Stems from the Powder Flower seeds and the migrating pollens. With this 60 Units of Ingredient, Altima starts off his progress with a 60/100,000 to next level.

    In the middle of studying the Spatial Realm and how the things work within, Altima is disturbed by one Tiger Stripe Mantis out of sudden.

    Escaped and Ready to battle, Altima quickly utilizes his Ghost Movement steps to escape from the deadly claws and reappears 2 meters away from the Tiger Stripe Mantis. Quickly rearranging himself and putting on the Stunning Green Jade Glove, which is one of the best hauls of his recent Big Hunt, Altima is ready for his Battle!

    Tiger Stripe Mantis, which is a native within the Forest of Thousand Insects, are one of the most remarkable predators within the outer forest. With a strength comparable to a Peak Stage Early Practitioner of Zen, this Insect possesses an agile and ruthless movement, as well strong claw which possible to break the trees with strength alone. This Insect often found traveling alone, hunting for its prey and eat them thoroughly before leaving to another spot, are well known for one of its best material hungered by many cultivators.

    The unbreakable Teeth in both side of its claw. This material which is more known as the Tiger Stripe Mantis Teeth, are only purchasable via Auction, is well known for its unbreakable properties which could enhance a weapon into a higher grade depending on the workmanship. Through breaking into higher grade quality, the Tiger Stripe Mantis Teeth are the Lowest Benchmark required to achieve in order to obtain Soul Descend, thus making the weapon becoming a Soul Grade Treasure.

    As both sides are ready with their Battle Stance, Altima quickly make his first move!

    "With my experience within the assassins profession, i have in my previous life, added with my current life Martial Skill and Cultivation, You are fated to meet your Maker today!", Altima renounces his Victory, confidently.

    "Ascend of the Tiger Fist!"

    Immediately, a heavy but quick step is taken, causing Altima to disappeared immediately from the Mantis''s Vision. Turning around, the mantis quickly stomps its 4 legs around, while depending on its hunter instinct to search for its prey location. Without a warning, Altima launches a Heavy Punch towards the Belly of the mantis, before reapplying his Ghost Step once again.

    Unexpectedly, the Mantis does not falter from the shock of the Tiger Fist. A counter attack came together, forcing Altima to defend against the sudden attack, pushing him back for at least 5 steps before he manages to stand firm again. Following behind, The mantis swings its claw with a full force, which Altima quickly Jumped and escape from the deadly swing, but unfortunate for the trees, 2 trees had uprooted from the sheer force of impact.

    "Let us Try how hard is your Insect head with this incomplete Martial art of Mine!", Altima quickly reapplied his Ghost steps and move around until he manages to reach the Side of the mantis head undefended.

    "Zhen Wu Iron Palm Shakes the Sea!"

    One heavy palm strike immediately knock the mantis down on the ground, vomiting some substance from its mouth, based on such reaction, even an inexperienced practitioner could confirm the injuries landed on the mantis is not too light. But from Altima''s point of View.

    "A still Moving Target is still a Target!"

    But before Altima can proceed with his next strike, he needs to break through this current hurdle, which is the Random Claw-Swinging from the mantis as a form of defending against the next incoming attack.

 Chapter 15 - Leaping Breakthrough Towards 10th Stage!

    Through moving around with the assistance of the Movement of Ghost Steps, Altima readjusts his position for about 5 times, and yet still failed to search for an opening to land another blow on his opponent. As the time pass, a feeling of urgent and rush came into Altima''s head.

    "If I still failed to enter this Defensive net formed by the mantis for the next 5 Minutes, His concussion from my previous attack will be pointless. By that time, this mantis will be taking more precaution from my next attack, and it will make me face more difficulties in disposing of him by that time."

    "If in this case, let us do things the rougher way."

    Altima quickly channel a stronger surge of Yang Energy into his outer Body, pushing his 1st Stage of Zhen Wu Warrior Body into its limit, and making a head on the attack towards the Defensive net formed by the random swing from the mantis. Through suffering a few strikes on his shoulder, Back and Chest, Altima finally manage to enter the range where he could attack without any worries.

    "Try this continuous Hit of mine this time!"

    "Ascend of the Rhino Fist, Tiger Fist!"

    "Zhen Wu Iron Palm Shakes the Sea!

    "And Lastly!"

    "Ascend of the Dragon Fist!"

    Through a consecutive 4 hit combo, Altima quickly decapitates the Tiger Stripe Mantis head split from its body. Thus ending the fight gloriously. After looking at the body shaking for another 2 minutes, all struggling is gone, and the mantis finally falls. As the battle is over, Altima proceeds to gather all the available precious material within the Mantis. First is the Abdomen of the Mantis, which packed with abundant Supply of the Demonic Insect Essence, which is important for cultivators who focus more on Poison and secret weapon Martial arts and Cultivating technique.

    After successfully collected a total of 10 Liquid pouches of essence until it''s gone, Altima next proceeds towards the Thin Wings, and tear both off before placing it whole into the Spatial Ring. Next, the mantis Skull is sliced into two halves, revealing a total of 4 pieces of small demonite Stone within, as well as a piece of shining bead which likely known as the Pure Insect Essence Bead, which thirst by all the other Insects as this bead is part of their cultivating and growth treasure.

    Heading towards the Claw, Altima Thoroughly destroyed the Claws which holding a total of 22 Teeth from both Side, totalling himself a 44 Units of the Teeth. As all the Remaining parts have been harvested, Altima proceeds towards one last part of the material he needs to retrieve, the Thorax of the Mantis. With a swing of the Knife, Altima Carved out the Outer layer of the Thorax Scales, which grows alongside with this Tiger Stripe Mantis throughout its life. This Scale is Sturdy, Durable and could be used alongside with the joint layering between the armours or Robes which often worn by the cultivators.

    With this first wins against a resident within the forest, Altima will soon be recognized as a participant in this "Emperor of the Forest" competition. But Altima placed this worries aside and continue his cultivation. Of course, first of all, he would require obtaining a new location as this current spot is a total wreckage due to the fights between the Tiger Stripe Mantis and Altima, a Grade 8 Early Practitioner Cultivator.

    As he moves about 500 Metres away from the original location, Altima stumbled across a bed of plants which known as "Python Weeds". Although Altima has a total of 5 Seeds within his inventory, but seeing a bed of Python Weeds is still a surprise, due to the high requirement of blood is required to grow this enormous amount of weeds. Came together with the finding of this bed of weed, there must be a few trees which provide the Nutrients to the weed around.

    Altima survey and search around the location, and finally found a total of 4 Essence Suckling Tree, about 600 Metres apart from the Python Weed location. Feeling lucky, Altima have a rush to quickly harvest all the available weeds, but soon manage to be awakened by Mobi from his Rushed greed.

    "Silly kid, You are totally Blinded by the Lust and Greed before your eyes!!", Mobi stopped his strangling on the wrist as he seen Altima wake up.

    "I have no idea that even I will get Charmed by the Python Weed as soon as I found it. We are lucky as the guards are not around it when I found them. Sorry Brother Mobi.", Altima quickly apologizes to Mobi.

    This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

    The reason why Mobi and Altima are being in such a caution is due to the Python Weed Guards. Due to the high concentrated blood essence surrounding the Bed of weeds, The Guardian of this type of plants, is a strong and Formidable Beast named Bloodlust Bear Beast. This beast is currently out of the range Altima could try and fight, due to the Difficult Threat level of 3rd Stage Warrior Practitioner Tier, they often come in a family of one male and one female.

    Immediately, Altima escaped from the Area covered with a scratch mark on the trees, and quickly scattered 2 bottles of the Demonic Beast Blood (Animal) to his surrounding, and escape the location. Returning to his previous location before he proceeds again to another location, Altima quickly nestled on a part where there is a small opened cave. Within the cave, Altima quickly proceeds to check on his Plantation Realm and process some of the harvests. For this time, Altima purposely allows the stem of Powder Flower to be remained within the Realm for some time until they become a dried Stem.as for the next batch of 20 Powder Flower Pollens make their way to migration, Altima harvest all of them after a duration of 5 hours is reached. With this way, Altima manages to produce a total of 40 Dried Stem, as well as a total of 20 Stem of Powder Flower this time.

    With the Experience bar increased to (120/100,000), Altima quickly places the 40 Dried Stem within the production tab, and had the Stem processed into 80 Seeds. Again, Altima repeats his procedure, but this time is with the Hanging Beanstalk Tree instead. Through Planting all 40 Seeds together into the plot, Altima place another total of 40 seeds of Powder Flower as well side by side with the Trees. Where he cultivate for temporary until the Prompt required him to select on migrating, Leave the Stem along the way until its completely mature.

    On the same time, Altima actually feeds his Wolf Cub once a day, as the Wolf cub are grown enough to hunt for themselves. Still pretty attached to their owner, both Wolf cubs travel across the Outer Forest area, fighting with targets which are weaker than 3rd Stage of Early practitioner Tier while passing on the news for Altima and his parents. The parents are able to sleep soundly too, due to both of the wolf cubs are pretty alert during the night when resting.

    While for Altima, He is Facing his next challenge at the moment. After consuming and assimilating with a total of 200 Balancing Zen Pills, Altima receives a boost of Yin Yang Essence, which is boosting his current Cultivation into the next stage. As the Wave of Yang Essence keeps burn him outside, Altima is facing a challenge of freezing energy from the Yin Essence which came from the opposite side.

    "A little more to go!", Altima convinces himself, so he would never give up.

    Moments later, the Cave is found Burning due to the hot Yang Essence Energy is flowing out without any Control, as if a balloon is burst and the air is running out without any restrictions. As the energy essence burst out from the Cave, soon, a tower of Yang Energy quickly Rush towards the sky and immediately dissipated. Leaving with only a Crater about 3 metres wide, and with a child body leaning in the middle, Lost consciousness. As he lying on the floor for a short moment, a piece of glowing red bead finally falls down from the Sky, and directly landed in the middle of his chest.

    A few hours later, Altima finally awake. First of all, he notices the Burning Red bead on his chest, which feels burning when touching it. Placing the bead aside into Mobi''s Inventory, Altima quickly gets a change of clothes and move away from the crater, which used to be a cave until yesterday night. As he had himself cleaned and clothed, Altima quickly checked on his condition and noted that he had already passed the border of 8th Stage and Jumped 1 stage ahead, where he currently is at a newly formed 10th Stage of the Early Practitioner Tier.

    Immediately, Altima had his Spatial Realm taken cared off, where due to the moments he is away from the Wake, the 40 Trees of Young Beanstalk is on its way to the 2nd 12 hour, which will be turning into the Adult Beanstalk soon. Meanwhile, for the Powder Flower, all of the stems is dried, while an additional 20 Stems is seems to be reaching its dried maturity as well.

    Quickly, Altima harvests all the available normal stems and dried stems, then replanted a total of 40 Seed again, while harvesting a total of 20 Beanstalk Trees, giving him a total of 75 Young Beanstalk this time. With the number of harvest reach (255/100,000), Altima had the same procedure, and turn all the dried stems into a total of 80 seeds once again, while keeping all the other ingredients.

    As for the Balancing Zen Pill, Altima currently had only a total of 72 left within his inventory. Which means, Altima would require to went out for a hunt for cultivating resources if he intends to have a next quick breakthrough. In the Meantime, Altima, who had managed to return towards his home, started to spend the rest of his Week by practicing and cultivating his Martial Arts into a deeper understanding.

 Chapter 16 - Killing a Participant in Competition!

    For the next few days, Altima spends most of his time practicing martial arts. On the same time, Altima utilizes the Refining upgrade from The system interface and spend most of the function time upgrading the martial arts, where the Current 8 Ascending Fist are successfully Refined into a 5 Time Refined 8 Ascending Fist. While the same for Movement of Ghost Step and Sturdy Body of Zen Practitioner, both refined to 5 Time Refined.

Although Altima is only a 10th Grade Peak Early Practitioner of Zen Cultivator, Based on Fighting power alone, Altima probably has a 70 to 80% chances to Defeat a first stage Warrior Practitioner easily.

    While during this 9 Days of Practice, Altima had a total of 18 times of turnover in his Plantation Realm, which currently Altima have a total of exceeding 1,000 Young Beanstalk, about 300 Adult Beanstalk, and currently having around 250 units of Stem of Powder Flower. At the moment, in Altima''s mind, He wished to proceed towards the outer Forest to compete along with all the others Cultivators and Beast alike. After consulting with Wayne about his current decision, Wayne agreed with his decision, as long he would make sure that he will never venture into the Middle Forest.

    Throughout the Whole Forest of Thousand Insects, A total of 4 Different King and one Emperor will be crowned. From the Books of record, The outer forest usually ruled by some Strong Beast which possessed a strength comparable to a Peak Warrior Practitioner of Zen Tier, or sometimes as strong as an Early Master Practitioner of Zen. While at Middle Forest area, the Ruler usually within the Early to Middle of Spiritual Practitioner of Zen Stage. While on the Inner Forest, the Ruler Strength is unknown to the continent cultivators, but as estimated, this Ruler Reach the Peak of Soul Practitioner of Zen.

    Previously, This King was disturbed by the Monarch Military which Ruled the whole Continent, where he lead his Might of War, a total of 5,000 IronClad Beetle to wage war with the Monarch Military. Throughout the War which lasted for a year and a half, The War finally Over, where after an assistance came from another neighboring continent. Unfortunately, Through this war, The Continent are in a huge debt due to this winning war.

    "Father, I understand. I will make sure that I will not enter the Middle Forest no matter what circumstances.", Altima promises his Father before he leaves with some food supplies and allowing his father keep a total of 20 Young Beast Food.

    Within the first Day, Altima easily disposes some random Insect Beast, while encountering one to two though Insect, which force him to escape without confronting the Target. As Altima Venture around the Outer forest, he manages to have a great encounter to harvest a total of 200 Young Beanstalk and 40 Adult Beanstalk, as well as 70 Stem of Powder Flower, on the First two day of Training within the outer forest.

    For the next two day of training, Altima encounters a total of 60 Pupae of Stinger Wasp, which having a threat level of the 6th Stage of Early practitioner of Zen. Easily dispose of the pupae, Altima proceeds into their Nest, and totally had the Nest overturned, and gathered all the Treasures within the Nest.

    In the 5th day of Training, Altima spends some of his time checking on the Thorough Scanning, but unfortunately, 5 days had passed, and the results are still yet to be presented.

Fast forward to the 6th day of Training, Altima finally manage to found 1 Peak 9th Stage Early Practitioner Insect as an opponent.

    Immediately, Altima rush towards the Scorpion, and gave out a feint move upon the scorpion attention is distracted. Quickly turning around the scorpion body and launch a few kicks on the scorpion back limbs, Altima quickly moves from 1 side to another, weakening the limbs and both of its claw, thus reducing the reaction speed so Altima could take his next action undisturbed.

Upon a direct point blank hit, Altima was punched and flew away from his current target at least 150 Meters far from their initial location, while vomiting around 2 coughs of blood, and suffering a heavy injury on his chest.

    "What the Hell with this kind of Attack ?", Altima was shocked with that bullet that hitting him at point blank range. On the spot when he stopped himself from flew away, Altima quickly reach for the nearby Tree, Grabbing and Pulling himself back to the ground. Immediately, a Thorough Scan is conducted, directed towards a living organism this time.

    This time, instead of moving around the joint spot along the scorpion body, Altima actually step across the scorpion body, causing it to be burst with rage. But unfortunately, due to the previous exchange, Altima had already planned to weaken the movement possibility of the scorpion, which based on his experience, scorpion are often a quick and agile hunter if left its limb intact and working properly.

    While evading and delivering a round of fist and Palm strikes, Altima slowly weaken the Scorpion, before he manages to jump directly on the back of the scorpion, and deliver a strong blow towards the weakest part of the Tail, which is the joint between the tip!

    "Zhen Wu Iron Palm Shakes the Earth!, Double Hit!"

    Immediately, the viscous liquid which stored on the tail is sprayed all around the scorpion body, leaving even itself starting to dissolve, but since its life-force is pretty Strong, Altima land another Ascend of the Dragon Fist directly on its head, Robbing its life away immediately.

    As the Scorpion body is half dissolve, this hunt were proof to be a loss, not much part are available to be gathered, except the Bullet Tip from the Tail, the 4 Piece of Demonite Stone in its head, and up to Altima''s surprise, this Scorpion actually manage to possess a total of 9 Pure Insect Essence Bead within its body. Perhaps due to its strong Tail attack and the menacing aura from an imitation king, it manages to kill off a few weaker grade 9 Demonic Insects.

    Retreating from the location, Altima quickly looks for a place where he could spend his time tending his external and internal wound. In the same time, One more batch of the Beanstalk Tree and Powder flower is finally finish maturing and harvested into the inventory directly. But at this moment, Altima planted a total of 60 Powder Flower seeds instead, and none of the Hanging Beanstalk Tree.

    The reason is due to the Young Beanstalk currently at a sufficient amount, thus Altima required to save some additional amount of Stems to produce some Balancing Zen Pill, Thus allowing him to attack and enter the Warrior Practitioner Stage.

 Chapter 17 - The Hunt! Battle Between 2 Practitioner!

    Half a day later, Altima finally fully harvest the total of 60 + 30 Migration Stems from all the Powder flower he planted. But not stopping only at one batch, Altima proceeds with another few times, Resulting a total of 360 Stems obtained, although he wasted a total of about 2 days for all the preparations. But what comes along, is the Improvement of his Martial art.

    Altima Spend quite a huge effort in Strengthening his Martial arts, and finally after 5-time refining, The Sturdy Body of Zen Practitioner Art finally obtain the first Upgrading Selection, which Altima quickly chose and wait for the results to came out. Adding to his surprise, the Body Martial Art came out to be a special only available to him Arts, which is named as,

    "Small Circle of Taiji"

    Small Circle of Tai JI - First Circle of Ten Circle of Tai JI(Peak Warrior Practitioner of Zen Martial Arts)

    Small Wheel of Tai JI - First Form Essence Energy for Defence and Offence.

    Practicing furiously to master this Martial art, Altima spends his balance of 13 days left before he would be requiring to return to the guild. In the first 2 days, Altima manages to utilize all his quality time in training, and quickly master a portion of this strong Peak Warrior Practitioner Martial Art. Unknowingly to Altima, a timespan of 10 days had already passed in a blink of eyes. Currently, Altima had mastered about 30% from the whole part of Small Wheel of Tai JI. During the 10% Mastery, Altima manage to form a Thin Layer of Wheel where Throwing, Bouncing off light attacks and opened up like an umbrella is possible.

    When he reach the limit of 20% mastery, The Wheel of Tai JI had gone even more Solid, Where Vibration and Strong counter force power could be felt directly throughout the Wheel, unfortunately, due to lack of proficiency, Altima could not use this wheel as flexible as he did during the previous trial. But, all this changed when Altima manage to decipher and master a total of 30% from the overall skill.

    The Wheel currently shine in a golden Hue colour, with a little translucent throughout the edge of the Circle outer wheel. With the sturdiness of the Wheel getting better, and the flexibility of this wheel is getting better and better. Next are the Strength and Usability. With the mastery at 30%, Altima could utilize this Wheel directly on blocking a hard impact attack, and at the same time, creating a shield of Essence energy to Resist wide range attack.

    With the final 3 days is left within Altima''s limit to return towards his guild, Altima planned to explore one more last time within the outer forest, before returning home and next back to the Thousand Members Guild to continue his cultivation, works and duty. But, Altima would never guess that he had been targeted by One other person as a target to kill.

    During his last day travelling around, Altima decided to finish his total of 32days adventure with another additional 600 Young Beanstalk, 210 Adult Beanstalk, 400 Stem of Powder Flower, 11 Mandrakes, 51 Demonite Stone, 170 Unprocessed Ore of Arsalite, 20 Unprocessed Ore of Briolette, 120 Demonic Insect Essence, and a mix of 10 to 20 of random material from various type of Demonic Insect. And the best among all, a total of 20 Pure Insect Essence Bead.

    But in the Middle of returning trip toward his home, Altima path is blocked by another Cultivator.

    "Kid, I would never believe if I''m not here personally to feel the total bead energy surging out from your body."

    "Pass me all the loot you gained from this Competition, perhaps I could let you leave this place alive."

    "Do not ignore me, kid. Don''t you know who I am? I''m one of the Top 50 Cultivators in the Hundred Miles Town, a Disciple from the Thousand Leaves Sect."

    "Get Lost! So what if you are a disciple from the Sect ?", Altima is angered by the haughtiness shown by the Cultivator, who looks around 9 to 11 years of age.

    "Kid, Seems like I need to give you a lesson before you learn on how to admit defeat nicely!"

    Without much to continue their conversation, both side prepares their Primary Stance before taking the first initiative to attack their opponent.

    "Stupid kid! This guy has at least the strength of 2nd Stage of Warrior Practitioner strength."

    "I know, but are you willing to surrender all your items and allow him to decide your outcome because he is slightly stronger ?"

    "I know this at least! Anyway, Try don''t kill him directly when chances arise, I want to clearly Copy his brain information, so we could know more about our opponent in future.", Mobi finishes his word and automatically apply the interface to scan this Cultivator as a target.

    "Take this! Huge Essence Exploding Fist!", The Cultivator immediately launch his first attack but manage to be evaded by Altima through using his Movement of Ghost Steps.

    Taking a few quick step back, creating a distance between the two of them, Altima immediately prepares his Wheel of Tai JI as a countermeasure for the next upcoming attack. While for the random cultivator, he was thoroughly offended due to the first strike had been a miss.

    "Kid, it seems like you have a little tricks or two within you. I wonder how many stance you can run before I totally have your internal organ explode while you met your death!", with another threat, the random cultivator rush towards Altima once again and have both of his hand readied for a big Attack.

    "Essence Twin Explosion Fist!"

    Once again, the heavy fist only manages to create a crater on this empty ground, while Altima manages to escape from his deadly attack. Based on Exchange of skills, Altima, who have a total of 2 lifetimes of experience, excel in this part compared with this random cultivator. Added with the rashness and the pointless haughtiness gave out from this cultivator, Altima could guess that this cultivator most probably passes the 2nd Stage not too long ago, thus giving him the overconfidence in fighting weaker targets.

    This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

    Maintaining his Calmness, Altima continues stepping around the circle between him and the cultivator. Meanwhile, the cultivator, which losing his calmness each second, repeatedly launching a series of 5 different fist strike, much alike the  Destruction Arhat Fist from the Shaolin Temple during his previous life. As the fight proceeds to their 5th round, Altima finally found a blind spot for this cultivator!

    Quickly making his way, Altima manage to escape one more of his opponent fist, and turn onto his weak defended left shoulder part, and immediately land a strike thus making him fall aside like a kite with broken strings.

    "Zhen Wu Iron palm shakes the Earth!"

    The practitioner falls off to the side about 8 steps from their initial exchange position, while two line of blood could be seen from the edge of his mouth. His shoulder blade is broken, while his outer appearance is smeared with some dust and mud during he is sliding across the grassland when falling. Without giving him a chance to regain his calmness, Altima quickly proceeds with a feint attack, which he anticipate where when the Cultivator tries to retaliate his charge with a quick fist, Altima move stop just before a wrist length before it reaches, and allows the Wheel of Tai JI to test it repelling Might.

    "Wheel of Tai JI!"

    The repelling force immediately shattered the Bone within the cultivator''s fist, unexpectedly even to Altima himself. With his opponent facing such torturing ending currently, Altima quickly proceeds with swinging the Wheel of Tai JI directly over his other 3 limbs, totally crippling him directly, thus leaving this opponent lying on the grassland, without any ability to counter attack. Next, Altima allows Mobi to jump out from his arm, and although the method is slightly weird, but Altima couldn''t think of another way if Mobi wanted to read a person''s mind.

    When Mobi reach the head of the Cultivator, He immediately forms a helmet, where the Opponent 7 orifice is totally invaded by all of Mobi''s Scanning Limbs, thus suffocating the cultivator until he faints. While for Altima, he immediately loots at all the treasures and ingredient within this cultivator, as well as checking for any other secrets held by him.

    Inspecting the Spatial Ring in the cultivator finger, Altima manage to salvage a total of 500 Young Beanstalk, 300 Adult Beanstalk, 300 Stem of Powder Flower, 5 Python Weed, 5 dried Suckling Skin from the Essence Suckling Tree, 5 Tiger Stripe Mantis Loots, 50 Pure Insect Essence Bead, One Mysterious Necklace, and 10 Demonite Stone and 10 Arsalite Ingots. While in the pouch within his Waist, it consists a total of 50 Balancing Zen Pills, as well as 100 Energy Yang Pill.

    12 hours later, The cultivator finally dead. While for Mobi, he manages to grab about 70% of memories regarding cultivation, life, martial arts as well as the daily life experience throughout the memories during the Mind Robbing.

    Ye Han - Thousand Leaves Sect Outer Disciple

    Cultivation - 2nd Stage Warrior Practitioner of Zen Tier

    Martial Arts - 5 Stance Essence Explosive Fist (Peak Early Practitioner of Zen martial Art), Sturdy Body of Zen Practitioner (Middle Early Practitioner of Zen Martial Art), Dragon Raging Claw (Early Warrior Practitioner Martial Art), Falling Leaves Soft Palm (Peak Early Practitioner of Zen Martial Art)

    Through the information taken from Mobi, this cultivation is one of those so called top cultivators who taking some leading strength within the Thousand Leaves Sect. The Sect currently is having their internal Conflict, due to the Main Branch from a Neighbouring Continent was recruiting for a new disciple, all the outer disciple, and inner disciple is having a contest, to decide their qualification. Other than Ye Han whom only can hunt around the outer forest, most of the other senior brother and sisters already hunting within the outer border of the Middle forest, and some only looking for bigger opponents instead of bullying the small. Only those as despicable as Ye Han would try to loot and taking advantage of others or weaker opponents.

    Still, Killing off one disciple from the Thousand Leaves Sect would be an issue, which is why Altima immediately erase his trace using the Demonic Insect Essence, and Throw Ye Han''s Corpse towards a bunch of Firehead Ants before he left.

    As he reaches his home, Altima quickly informed his parents about what had happened, but instead of lecturing their child on his recklessness, Wayne speaks something else back to his child, this giving his child a reason to not worry the parent''s safety.

    "Child, Since it happened this way, lets travel. Only me and your mother, we will travel around the continent while looking for a new place to reside, after all, we had been staying at this place due to the worries of we couldn''t protect you if we are staying in a bigger city which has more conflicts."

    "Do not worries, although your mother looks simple, don''t you feel that your mother have a pretty strong Essence residing within her ?"

    "Your father reaches the 3rd Grade of Warrior Practitioner of Zen too, your mother current is still on her 2nd Grade of Warrior Practitioner of Zen. So do not worry about both of us."

    "Unknowingly to Altima, both his parents are actually quite a strong practitioner. If it is not because of Altima himself, perhaps his parents will be reaching even higher heights due to their talent in cultivation."

    As the Sunrise to indicate a new day, Altima proceeds towards the Hundred Miles Town, and after his parents manage to get a place to stay within the town, Altima immediately returns towards the Guild and have himself Hole up within the Alchemy practicing Room.

 Chapter 18 - Path of My Cultivation!

    Within the Next whole week, Altima lock himself within the Alchemy Practicing Room, painstakingly Concocting Pills and conducting research on the Material available within his inventory for a New recipe. Through the assistance from Mobi''s Interface, Altima is getting close to create a new Cultivating resource, but with the library of resources and Compatibility type still insufficient, Altima currently still have a long way to go.

    After the total 1,000 Portion of Balancing Zen Pills is Concocted, and receiving a results of 455 success among 1,000 Portions, Altima quickly proceed to the Trade and Exchange department, and Trade in the total amount of 400 to the department, thus receiving a total of 64,000 contribution point and a total of 400 Portion of Balancing Zen Pill Ingredients.

    "Kid, had you visit the Martial Hall yet to receive two martial arts within the Martial Library ?", The staff questioned Altima, seeing him not practicing any martial arts belonged to the Thousand Members Guild.

    "Not Yet, Senior. Is there a restriction time I must learn before it is voided ?", Altima replied the staff question, politely.

    "There is no time limit when you need to learn the martial arts, but the Competition for the Top 10 Young Cultivator in Hundred Miles Town will starts soon, within 3 Month from now.", The Staff continued.

    "What is the benefit for being amongst the Top 10 ?", Altima continues with his questions.

    "Being within the Top 10 gives you a total of 1,000 Balancing Zen Pills Each Month to cultivate, along with One Spirit Weapon you''re compatible with, and Lastly, You will be giving the commanding tag, which allows you to lead a total of 500 Warrior Practitioner of Zen Soldiers for any town Expenditure.", The staff continued.

    "So we are Indirectly Absorbed into the Lord of the Town Military Strength ?", Altima understands this part. As the continent is still not having an Emperor which manage to rule over the whole land, there will be Local Tyrants or King which trying to establish their Position. Thus, This promotes the requirement to Wage war and small skirmishes between some Town and cities.

    "Unfortunately, That''s a yes for your question. Currently, in this Hundred Miles Town, The Lord of the Town holds the strongest Power, followed by the Hu Clan. And while the Thousand Members Guild and Thousand Leaves Sect is at the bottom position, followed by some other small Mercenary or Small Families around the town.", The Staff shakes his head for a little and answer Altima question.

    "But if the Lord of the Town wished to destroy any of the Main 3 power within the Town, he might only need to send half of his Military strength to cleanly handle all of us. Currently, if we add up all the cultivator from the 3 power, maybe a total of 3 Middle Soul Practitioner of Zen, 2 Known Early Soul Practitioner of Zen, 10 Peak Spiritual Practitioner of Zen, 30 Early to Middle Spiritual Practitioner, about 300 to 400 Master Practitioner, and maybe close to 2,500 Warrior Practitioners."

    "As what the guild know within our intelligence report, The Lord of Town Military have at least 50 Peak Soul Practitioner of Zen, commanding a total of at least Mix of 5,000 varieties of Cultivation Tier Soldiers.", The Staff explained the current condition to this young Member, but from his face, one could see how to disappoint he was due to the pressure is given by the Lord of Town.

    "Anyway, quickly go and learn your martial arts provided by the guild. Regarding the Top 10 Competition, you are allowed to choose on participating or not.", The Staff quickly finish his conversation and leave Altima straight away due to the time he spends to talk exceed what he can idly spend.

    Returning from the Trade and Exchange department, Altima quickly heads to the Martial Hall for his Selection of Martial arts. After receiving his 2 Martial art Tags, Altima quickly heads inside and started to look on the list of scrolls within. In each Shelf, A Special Array of Energy formation is written on the Covers, where with a look using Yin and Yang Energy, one could thoroughly look at the Martial Arts and the introduction regarding the Arts.

    Walking and reading the scrolls all around the first row of Scrolls shelf, Altima found nothing but only basic Early Practitioner Martial Art. Nothing specifically attracts Altima''s Interest, needless to mention about Mobi. This continued for on the Second Row and the Third row of shelves, where Altima only manage to had a slight interest on one of the Essence Gathering Martial Art, called the "Great Way of Yin Essence Manipulation". Although this Skill is pretty good, but with the Lack of its Counterpart skill, this skill will cost a huge resource in the middle of cultivation, just for the effort to increase the amount of Yang energy a person lack.

    Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.Next, Altima Walk toward the Fourth Row of Shelves, which is the last row of Shelves in this room. After this shelves, there is a door, leading to upstairs of the Martial Hall. Where higher tier Martial Arts is placed. But unfortunately, Altima Tag only usable on the Ground floor, which restricting him from selecting a stronger martial art. Finally, Altima checked on the Fourth Row of the shelves and finally choose two martial arts from the shelves, which he believe to be the best and most suitable Martial Art for him currently.

    Little Sun of Yang Essence Technique - Early Warrior Practitioner of Zen Martial Arts

    Skill Description: From the gathered Yang Energy Essence, Master of this Martial Arts could easily manipulate this Skill to create an area with burning Yang Energy, which slowly robs the Yang Essence within his target slowly while strengthening the user itself. This skill also compliments to the Production of Energy Yang Pills.

    Wu Di Long Fist Art - Early Warrior Practitioner of Zen Martial Arts.

    Skill Description: Wu Di Long Fist consist of 3 transformation, which allows one to master the skills on how to Reach longer distance compare to your opponent on early stage, Allows one to launch Range Attack at middle stage, and finally allows one to master the Technique to freely Reach your opponent anywhere within 8 Step distance, be it to defeat or destroy your opponents when in Peak Stage.

    With this 2 martial art chose by Altima, he proceeds towards the Martial Hall Staff and allows him to have a look on the scroll before leaving. When Altima left the hall, the Staff whispering to himself, giving a hopeful looking stare until Altima left his sight.

    "I would never imagine that in my current life, this 2 scroll had been taken out twice together. If this kid knows how to Combine his martial art together to create a new method, this skill will allow him to stand top amongst the younger generation."

    In the same time, Altima too was thinking the same thing. Through mastering the Little Sun of Yang Essence and the Wu Di Long Fist, Altima could utilize both skill in the same time to Launch a deadly strike toward undefended opponents, as well as if combined with the Wheel of Tai JI, the effect of this martial art could make him goes undefeated unless he met somebody one tier above his generation.

    Within this world of Rumanian, The Code of Honour is still well practiced. Except within war where killing and Total massacre are not prohibited, within the city or outside, the Most issue regarding practitioner is solved by strength. The stronger one is, the louder he can speak within the place he rules. This code of honour is applied towards the city lords as well, where if one City lord decided to totally annihilate one Village which he is bigger than them about 10 times, will totally destroy your honour during your next war.

    Returning to his room, Altima quickly runs through both scrolls and decided to learn both of them together, which placing them into the refining process. In the same time, Altima decided that he would require having a good rest, to replenish his energy and concentration spent during the one whole week holed up in the alchemy room for the concoction process.

    Halfway during his rest, Mobi did question Altima on his choices on the two skills. And the reason why Altima take both of them.

    "Brother Mobi, Do you believe if I tell you, That if I manage to decipher and master a total of 9 different Yin and Yang Essence martial arts, I could actually have the luck to upgrade them into one main Martial Arts ?", Altima gave Mobi meaningful looks and throw him a question.

    "Do you get this Inspiration from your previous world ?", Mobi believes in Altima''s word, but of course, he would need to assure where this thinking and confidence came from.

    "Yes. Back in my world before reincarnate, The Shaolin Temple, which is the Origin of all Martial arts, Contain a first Grade Martial Arts called as the 9 Yang Divine Essence Martial Arts. Similar Counterpart, there is a 9 Yin Divine Essence Martial Arts, and 12 Verse of Yi Jin Manual.", Altima quickly explains few martial arts he used to learn and master before he reincarnated.

    "If in that case, I will be supporting you via my capability! You can depend on your brother too you know ?", Mobi quickly promote himself, seeing how high spirit his little Brother is.

    As the conversation end, time passed for about few more days, before the brothers came out from the room. On his appearance, Altima seems to be burnt for a few times, until his hair totally seems even worst than a beggar which never showered and shave for a few years.

 Chapter 19 - Helping the 49th Branch! (Part 1)

    Coming out from the room with many burnt marks all around Altima''s Clothes, while the face looked like a child playing in the charcoal mine, Altima quickly went over for a bath and wash off himself thoroughly. Making a trip towards the Dining Hall for a sumptuous meal and heading over to the Trade and Exchange Department for some purchase of materials, Altima quickly finish his works for the day.

    Currently, within the Guild, Altima was seen as a young promising Student of Concoction. Only by recording the total amount of pills Altima Trade into the Department, was exceeding a total of two Guild Concocting personnel. With such feat and name ringing within the guild building, very quickly, Altima is called towards the Vice Guild Office, directly by Wu Feng himself.

    "Uncle Feng, Altima Greets you.", Altima, Greets Wu Feng politely.

    "It is great to see you again, and seems like after I had made a trip from the Guild for a week, you came out as a big news within the guild once again.", Wu Feng hinted about the concoction record Altima cause the commotion within the Guild, but feeling proud of him at the same time.

    "This is thanks to Uncle Feng to give me the chances and the opportunity, without uncle Feng taking care of little nephew here, I''m afraid I wouldn''t even have a slight chance to improve myself over here.", Altima says his mind and bows slightly to Wu Feng as a gratitude.

    "Well, Uncle is calling you here to help the guild for something, would you like to listen before deciding ?", Wu Feng starts to enter the main topic, due to the urgency of this matter.

    "Uncle please say, As long as Little Nephew manage to do it, I will try my best.", Altima quickly pays attention to what Wu Feng will tell him next.

    "Recently, in the nearby City of the West from our Hundred Miles Town, had been taking serious Hit from their neighbourhood Town. And what is troubling us is, One of our Brothers Guild, the 49th Thousand Members Guild is located over there."

    "With the Warring condition happened over in that area, a part of the Thousand Members Guild cultivators are affected, and even most of them came back with heavy injuries. Pressured with the situation, Our Brothers Guild currently is facing difficulties in coming out with sufficient Life Saving Medicine and Injuries Tending Ointments. If this continues for two more months, I''m afraid that the Guild within that neighbouring city will be disbanded, and many refugees will be looking onwards to our town for protection."

    "Although we do not mind housing the Cultivators from the Brothers Guild, but do remember, they will require tending for at least a period of time before they are fit to help the guild again. To prevent this matter from coming up, We, the 3 representatives from the 49th Branch, 50th Branch, and 51st Branch, wished to request your help to concoct us some medicine and ointments, so we could help the 49th Branch maintain their Position in the city immediately."

    "Of course, this will come together with a reward, and no penalty will be applied in case the 49th Branch really unable to maintain themselves due to the War. In the same time, you will be given a special Tag where you could personally request for supplies, Assistance and we will be giving you A scroll from each Branch, where you could enter the second floor to look for a Martial Arts you would like to learn within."

    "Our 51st Branch too will Increase your Rank into the 2nd Rank - 2nd Stage Directly. With your positioned in at 2nd Rank, you could directly participate in the Guild Expenditure and start receiving guild benefits as our Outer Guild Members."

    "Uncle Feng, I''m not attracted by what will the guild promise me, but I will still do it because this is a request from Uncle yourself.", Altima replied honestly.

    "I will do my best and help, so, Uncle please do not worry. The Thousand Members Guild are one family, and we won''t Leave one single Brothers behind unattended with their injuries! If worst come to worst, I will go to the 49th Branch personally to Concoct them some Medicine to use."

    "Ha Ha Ha! Great Kid! Now I even believe my eyes more that I never choose the wrong person to ask for help.", Wu Feng proudly says what''s inside his mind, before he called for the Assistant who stands outside of the Office.

    "Li Na, Li Mei, Arrange the required things so our young member here can start his concocting process. Inform the Dining Hall to prepare sufficient meals for him during this one Month time, and Void the payment for his Accommodation for this One month period too, due to he is holding a task on behalf of the guild request."

    "Li Mei, Try to get Michael, Vice guild Leader from the 49th Branch and Qin Dun from the 50th Branch for me, tell them to quickly send us the ingredient immediately so we could start preparing the medicine now."

    "Li Na, I want you to find that old Geezer and ask him for the 2 Recipe we need. Quickly get him to vomit it out, else I won''t Allow you to get married."

    "Old Geezer ?", Altima feel weird when he heard how Wu Feng speaks about this person.

    "This Old Geezer Vice leader Wu mentioned is our Grandfather, as well as another 1 of the Vice Guild Leader within this 51st Branch. His name is Li Gang". The 10 Recipe Creator Li Gang which pretty famous within our Continent.", Li Na quickly explained.

    As the word is passed down, both the Li Sister quickly went out to solve the matter, while Altima and Wu Feng still remains within the room.

    "Little Nephew, I saw your Parents 2 days back, along with the 2 Wolf Cub which is residing with them within the home. Seems like they just purchase a new place to stay, and that place is pretty near to the Path to the Demonic Goblin Mines.", Wu Feng started a different topic to talk with Altima.

    "Will my parents meet any danger if they reside at such close distance from the Demonic Hordes ?", Altima could not hide his worries, but never get overreacted, due to his parent''s strength in Cultivation is not weak as well.

    Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.

    "Although there will be a little risk, but do not worries, just by judging the two mutated Wolf Cub with them, even a school of Goblins tried to cause trouble will not disturb your parents sleep.", Wu Feng replied Altima''s question and putting him out of his useless worries.

    As the uncle and nephew talked about others issue, and some slightly regarding cultivating questions, very quickly, the Li Sisters returned from their task. After exchanging some greetings, Altima proceeds to leave the Office and went over to the new Alchemy Room he had been given to Concoct two different Products to be delivered to the 49th Branch.

    Eating the Meal while busy checking on the Procedure on how the Medicine and ointment are processed, Altima had Mobi stopped processing the Skill refinement once it is complete and quickly Run a quick analysis on the Formula and recipe given by the Geezer "Li Gang". Instead of feeling undependable from the Recipe, Altima felt that through a detailed analysis, Altima could increase his success rate and the strength of medicine even more. Which motivates him to take on this request.

    To start off with the Concoction, The Cauldron used by Altima is a medicinal Boiling cauldron, Due to the requirement of Flame is different compared to the Cultivating medicine. Medicinal Based Concoction could be always made in a huge batch, and through controlling the Yang Essence Flame accordingly, the Medicine will be completed. The only difficult task will be based on the amount of ingredient is used, and how well is the Concocting master controls their Yang Essence Flame. Once it is off from the Scale of perfection, the medicine will not be able to complete, resulting the whole Cauldron of medicine wasted.

    Sometimes, the Ingredient will cause the downfall and failure of the Concocter as well, due to some impure or different quality of Ingredient is used. With slight defects within the Ingredient, especially on the Scarlet Red Pearl, which usually comes together with some larvae or bacteria along within the pearl, or on the Essence blood on Medicinal Turtle, in case the turtle is Injured, Shedding its shell, or Pregnant.

    Focusing all his attention on the Process, Altima allows Mobi to automatically decide on the approval needed for the interface command, while Altima is busy working out with the Low-Grade Healing Ointment. Placing each Scarlet Red Pearl within is a numerous and tedious task before the Balancing Zen Pills is mixed within and Being grind and mortle into the form of a paste. Lastly, Mandrake is added within the paste, where the Mandrake is mixed together and being grind and pastel in a low heat, until the juiciness of the Mandrakes flows out and thus forming a powder upon drying up. But this process is far from over.

    When the Mandrake Juices flows out from the Body of the Mandrake Roots, Concocting master will need to remove the Roots quickly, to prevent the roots from being overcooked and burnt within the Cauldron, so the Ointment could be mix and dried accordingly. And while the powder is being cooked and stirred until dried, the flame from the Yang Essence should be reducing accordingly, Until the Powder turned from fiery red colour into a white coloured form of powder.

    As the flame is removed from the Cauldron, a quick portioning and Distribution to each wrapping which is made from the Wolfberry leaves, and folded is required. Through all these meticulous works, each salve made from the Wolfberry Leaves with the Ointment within will slowly release a sweet and fragrant smell, which proof as the completion of the Concocting Process.

    Currently, for Altima, This is the 50th Batch of Low-Grade Healing Ointments made by him directly. In this 50 Batch of Ointments, a total of 17 Batch is a failure, resulting in only 33 Batch or 330 Portions are a success and usable by the people from the 49th Branch. Included together with a total of 375 Pills among the 1,000 portion of Yang Essence Revitalizing Pill, which produces by the Interface through Mobi Assistance through 5 times concocting.

    Although Altima felt disappointed with his total production, but as he passes over the Spatial ring to Li Na, the first Reaction of Surprise from her face immediately leave an unforgettable moment in Altima''s Mind.

    "Although I am a Girl in my previous life, but This Li Na is so Beautiful!", That''s what running through Altima''s Head.

    "This is his first Concoction in the first 8 Days and he manages to produce such amount in his first Handover ? Did he not getting any sleep at all or he is a genius ?", That''s what running through Li Na''s Head.

 Chapter 20 - Helping the 49th Branch! (Part 2)

    With the first week had passed, The supplies starting to increase yet again. Altima spends almost all of his time within the room for the Concoction. On his second Batch, Altima manage to provide a total of 310 and 320 Respectively on the Yang Essence Revitalizing Pill and Low-Grade Healing Ointment. On this third and fourth Batch, Altima manages to increase his stability of production slightly, manage to maintain both 350 and 350 respectively.

    After the time had passed for one whole month, with Altima Concocting the Medicine without stopping, The condition within the 49th Branch started to turn better. Sometimes, some captain level members within the 49th Branch would pay a visit towards the Alchemy room, but due to the hectic works conducted by Altima within, they end up waiting outside with no results, and leave without a word but respect towards this young man.

    In the same time, Altima''s Name started to be heard within the distance between 10 major City, which holds the strongest faction of military might. But due to the Fact, this young Concocting master belongs to the Thousand Members Guild, none of the power dare to make their move to snatch this man away. Although, Some threat does travel into Altima''s ear, stating about what would happen or how they will reward Altima if he changes his wings and serves under them.

    With the Commotion is over between the City, the 49th Branch started to return to their usual Life, although there had been a few casualties during the war, but this doesn''t hamper their spirits, and instead, more and more cultivator began to try to carve their way towards Medicine and Pills Concocting. For 1 more month of Concocting the final batch of medicine, Altima finally excuses himself from the room, and handle the key to the Staff, thus apologizing to him due to the disturbing request and demand made by Altima during his time within the Room.

    Currently, The room required almost a total makeover due to the rough usage to concoct medicine. Within the time of 2 months, Altima had himself Concoct a total of 24,000 Portions of medicine nonstop. Throughout this ordeal, the one with most benefit is definitely Altima himself. From the Concocting of such large amount of medicine, this has to give Altima a very great experience in controlling his Yang Energy Essence, and in the same time, Altima had mastered at least a Middle stage on the Little Sun of Yang Essence Technique.

    On the same time, With the Additional 2 New recipe added into Mobi''s Interface, the Concoction Skills finally manage to increase into a level 7, while for Altima, he finally reaches the stage of Early 1st Stage Concocting Practitioner. Currently, Altima is on his way towards the 49th Branch. Under the approval of Vice Guild Leader Wu Feng, Altima is temporary Relocated towards the 49th Branch to assist with their Concoction Practice, as well as guiding the young new Practitioner in the matters of Concocting.

    After a nonstop travel of half a week, Altima finally reaches the Boulduin City, Which is one of the main city for trading and commerce, as well as the main hub for all the travellers, merchant, heroes, and cultivators to pass and live for a few days to weeks before they continue their journey. Although this city has a milder Temperament in the Military Recruitment, but its strength could not be misjudged, just by based on their City Lord, Alec Boulduin XIV.

    Upon entering the City, Altima''s Carriage is halted, and Altima was greeted politely by Alec himself. Although the main intention is to try and recruit the soon to be Genius concocting Master into his Wings, but By playing his card well, Alec tried to create a good impression to Altima, so he could take Alec request into consideration. Along the way entering the city, Altima passes by a few building which captures his interest, which is the Number 1 in Biggest Building In Boulduin City, The City Smith Corporation. With a 8 Floor Building, Chimney Running higher around the Building, and Few Towers with Bells and Guards, This City Smith is said to be the Next Grandiose Building after the Boulduin City Lord Castle.

    Next is the Farmer Association. Although the building is nowhere grand, but One could see how well the association does by looking at the number of Product tags Hanging outside of the Building. Running a special type of Tag with Magical Array, This building runs their business almost automatically without any modern technologies assisting them.

    Before reaching the Thousand Members Guild, Altima passes the next building which captures his Attention.

    "Boulduin Auction Hall of Myriad Treasures."

    To imagine there is an Auction house located within this city, will this city provide Altima with what he would require ?

    As the Convoy reach the Thousand Members Guild Central Area, Altima is greeted with more than 8,000 Members all around the Central Area, Towers, as well in the Building Balcony. Greeted like a superstar, Altima himself quickly get embarrassed from all the cheering and greetings. Noticing the nervous Altima, the Vice Leader Michael quickly stop his groups of monkeys and introduce himself.

    "Hi Altima, I am Michael, you must hear about me from your Uncle Wu Feng.", Michael greets Altima nicely and performs a handshake with this tiny little palm.

    "Greetings Vice Guild Leader Michael, I will be under your care for this short while.", Altima quickly returns the good gesture.

    As they both walked across the guild and introduce each different department to Altima, the Elders, and Captains all quickly introduce themselves to Altima, so they could be familiar throughout the duration Altima will be Posted here. Making the introduction short, Altima finally return to his room and continue with his Cultivation as usual. Within the room, Mobi suddenly starts talking.

    "Brother, I think we are here for a grand reason.", Mobi Speaks with his drool came out uncontrollably.

    "Stop yourself before I am forced to tied you up inside this room, Locked, and Starved.", Altima Laughed and continue with his cultivation. This is because right behind the Guild Building, There is a Huge Mining Vein with different Metals, which the Thousand Members Guild 49th Branch is Excel in, "Mining".

    With his basic duties to perform daily, Altima is helping the Alchemy Department in training and giving lecture and Help in Medicine and Cultivating Resources Concoction. As requested from Altima, The Trade and Exchange Department will provide Altima with 20 Piece of Arsalite Ingots daily as his payment. After this habit had goes along for about 1 whole week, some other guild members starting to provide Altima with additional Arsalite Ingots, as the payment to receive additional Lesson privately or within a group.

    Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

    For Michael, this is the best result he could wish for. With Altima within his Branch, The other young Concocting Practitioner would be spending less time dreaming about getting rich or struggling on their Concoction, but grouping together to exchange their experience and research. Through this way, the guild could develop more and more practitioner who excel in concocting and thus produce a higher amount of Balancing Zen Pills to be used to increase the strength among the other members.

    Simply said, this is all an Economy Cycle, only by handling this economy cycle well, can the guild start thinking about heading out to try the economic distribution outside them. But due to the limited Concocting Masters as well as the members are increasing each single day, More and more funds need to be allocated towards the purchase of Ingredient, as well as fighting to obtain the right to venture into the Spatial Realm each year to harvest an abundant number of resources.

    While with the Continuous meal with the Arsalite Ingots, Mobi quickly rose from his 2nd level and become a Level 3 Universe Slime. From the Levelling, Mobi Obtain the ability to process the production and Concoction or other undiscovered skills at a faster speed, thus giving the brothers better time management.

    Soon, Altima is getting much and more free lately, due to most of the students of his had already grabbed the basis to concoct a medicine or cultivating Resources efficiently. With the most important work is completed, it is about time Altima will be requested to post towards the 50th Branch for his next assignments. But before leaving, Altima is interested in paying a visit to the town, Thus, followed by 5 captains, Altima make a trip towards the town for a look.

    As he entered the City Smith, Altima was dumbfounded. With a total of 5 Gigantic Furnace which Powered by at least 1 Million Energy Yang Essence, The Blacksmith within temper and refine the Ores, weapons, and all metal made works without stopping. All the Blacksmith Altima could roughly see, have the cultivation of at least Peak Warrior Practitioner of Zen Tier, While the Server and workers are at least in their Middle to Peak Warrior Practitioner of Zen Tier.

    "Mr. Altima El Mist, Welcome to the City Smith.", A smart looking man walked over to Altima and greet him politely.

    "Greetings, You are ?", Altima returns the gesture and asked for the name of this gentleman.

    "I''m one of the Young Elder within this City Smith, Call me Rain.", Rain introduce himself in a proper manner.

    "So Mr. Rain, What is this City Smith main purpose here ? I am still new, and might be leaving soon but I hope I could increase some of my knowledge regarding what''s this world have.", Altima talks with a polite tone, asking for a depth of information regarding the City Smith and what they do.

    "The City Smith is one of the biggest Metal Works Corporation Around in this continent, as what you could see from our surface, We made weapons, we made tools for the tyrants and Lords to wage war with others. If the Lord request for any tools, we will make it for them as long they could pay. If there is any Tyrants wish to destroy other tyrants, we will supply them with nonstop supplies of weapons until they could win the war."

    "What do you think ?", Rain asked Altima on their Standing and works.

    "I believe that in another side of the coin, the City Smith is doing something else where nobody expecting ?", Altima speaks his word in a simple manner, but without being affected by the first side of Rain''s Story.

    "Wise Word. The City Smith helps in rebuilding the City, as well as moving over into the city. The City Smith does choose their Partners Strictly. Before we support a tyrant on their Military Deployments. We will support both sides, but only heavily support the better side and give them a win. In return, we will take out one Tyrant from continue leading, thus losing all their resources and ability to continue waging war, while we establish our new City Smith Corporation within the new City, and Assisting the Lord to maintain the City well."

    "Currently, The City Smith have a total of 15 Branches, where the lords are all having amazing leadership. Unfortunately, we have no Possibility to combine all the Lords together to form a strong Kingdom, else, this Continent will flourish with Cultivators exceeding the Practitioner of Zen Limits.", Rain end his words.

    "So, What could I get over here within the City Smith ?", Altima Continued.

    "Based on what I heard the rumors, I think you are gathering a large amount of Arsalite Ingots. Are you interested in having a cooperation with us ?", Rain quickly goes to his main motive to speak with Altima.

    "Do tell, Mr. Rain.", Altima urge Rain to continue.

    "Based on how much I see Mr. Altima is gathering the Arsalite Ingots, We are looking forward to making a dealing with you. As you could see, we required a high quantity of Energy Yang Pill as well as Balancing Zen Pills. If you could provide us with either one of this Resources, we wouldn''t mind offering an offer of 1,000 Arsalite Ingots for a 200 Balancing Zen Pills, or 500 Energy Yang Pills. To reduce your Difficulties in trading or going around with a huge amount of Arsalite Ingots, we could proceed this trade with either Arsalite Bars which worth 100 Ingots each, or perhaps the Arsalite Pure Plates, which worth 1,000 Ingots and will appreciate or depreciate according to the market rates."

    "What do you think of my proposal ?", Rain quickly tried to close a deal with Altima.

    "I will consider about this matter, how do I contact you when I have the answer ?", Altima asked.

    "Please keep this Mental Image Transfer Stone, As long you record your voice or image by applying Yin or Yang Essence energy within this Stone, I will receive your Message almost immediately.", Rain Says, before leaving Altima to continue looking around.

 Chapter 21 - Surging Wave Dragon Spear!

    With the conversations reach its end, Altima left the City Smith building and proceed to the Next building in his to visit list. After walking around with the other captains, Altima finally reaches the Farmer Association. Before entering, Altima spends some time looking at the outer written Tags as well as some of the magical array of scrolls written around the Entrance.

    "Now I know why there are so many visitors around here. Turn out this is actually a trading hub for Ingredient, Plants and Natural resources gathering hub. One could Purchase, Sell, Request or offer his service through using this Farmer Association."

    Continue ahead, Altima Run across a few attendant, which following him around showing all the different services and products they have in hand. Whether to purchase it in the form of single unit or bulk, all are available to choose from, as long one could provide enough payment for their purchase. After a short while of surveying around, Altima chooses to leave as he has no specific ingredient he would like to obtain for now.

    Next, Altima passes by the last building he is interested in entering and having a look, which is the Boulduin Auction Hall of Myriad Treasures. Unfortunately, There is no auction ongoing currently, so the Main gate to enter this building is currently closed tight, with few guards outside preventing people from getting too close.

    Awaiting the return of Altima, the Convoy is ready to depart towards the 50th Branch, which located about 8 days away from Boulduin City. After bidding farewell with the others from the branch, Altima and groups depart and heads toward to the Next Town, Which called Scarlet Willow Town. Although the Scarlet Willow Town is only categorized as a Town, but the Military might within this Town not to be belittled, due to the number of Different Sect and Clans is located within the town.

    As Altima step into this town, Qin Dun, The Vice Guild Leader from the 50th Branch immediately greet Altima and walk with Altima along their way towards the Guild Building. Within the town, stalls and traders flock all around the main street, giving an impression of being in the middle of a flea market back in Altima''s previous life. As they walk along, Altima notices a few Different Road Sign, stating the path one should take if they are interested in looking for a certain building.

    Within the City, a total of 3 Different Sect, Devil Cliff Sect, Wandering Scholar Sect, and the Tian Jian (heavenly Sword)Sect is Positioned within the West of the Town, Residing 3 Big Spot and ruling over 300 different shops selling various item, while over the East part of the Town, Resides by the Flying Dragon Clans(Long Clan) and Xiang Clan. This two clan are more harmonious, as been told by Qin Dun during their way forward, and lastly, Over in the North, is resides by another 3 superpower, which is the Lord of Town, Bai Fung from the Bai Escort Agency and Private Military, The Thousand Members Guild, and lastly, the Trading Association.

    With so many different factions within the Town, things could get rough once a while, sometimes twice or more during each month. But as truth to be told, Through this way the Town handle their matters, Traders, Stalls flourish due to the business for demand on ingredients, Food, Equipment. Never cease to stop from supplying. Due to this rougher environment as well, the Cultivators within this Town are slightly more aggressive, even more, rough in every manner.

    But for Altima, wherever he is posted, it is still only for a reason. He was here to guide the young Concocting practitioner and meanwhile at the same time, gathering more knowledge and experience for himself before he gets older. This as well serves as a publicity, and motivation to other branch members to practice support, Trust and Friendship between the Branches.

    Without going out and looking for troubles, Altima is always seen holed up within his own quarters to cultivate. Except during his duty on guiding the other Concocting Practitioners, as well as producing a certain product to match the Guilds quota, Altima totally utilizes all his time to Maintain his cultivation and Spatial Realm of Plantation. Along from the 1 month period of stay in the Boulduin City, Altima currently holding a total of 15,200 Units of Young Beanstalks, as well as about 4,320 Units of the Stem of Powder Flower, which is totally grown from his Spatial Realm Plantation.

    Later, in one of the usual night, Altima came out with a few discussion to talk with Mobi.

    "Brother Mobi, do you think that through absorbing the Arsalite Bar, will you receive a bigger amount of Experience ?", Altima tried to check with Mobi before he proceeds with the processing to make the Balancing Zen Pills.

    "Perhaps. But I would say if we could get to the nice side on the City Smith, things such as deals, Profit, and opportunity will come without a limit. After all, the City Smith are quite dependable based on how I see their Building is working out.", Mobi answered Altima question and giving Altima some opinion regarding his choices.

    "If even Brother is agreed with me, I will go ahead with the Concocting, Brother, please have the interface open.", Altima request for the interface to appear, and input an equal number of ingredients to product a 500 Pills via two batches.

    "So, What did Michael pass to you when you are leaving the Boulduin City ?", Mobi continued.

    "A martial art. To be exact, it is a mental type martial art called (Initial Qi of Yuan Dan/ Yuan Dan Zhen Qi Fa).", When Vice leader Michael passed this scroll to me, he says that only cultivator with strong comprehensive power could decipher and learn this martial art.

    Initial Qi of Yuan Dan (Early Practitioner Mental Martial Art)(Yuan Dan Zhen Qi Fa)

    Skill Description: None.

    "And on the same time, don''t you think that you had stagnated on this 10th Stage for quite some time now?", Mobi quickly reminds Altima on his neglected cultivation.

    If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

    "I know, but we are really out of Balancing Zen Pill now, with the surrounding of us is so thin with Yin and Yang Essence, we can only focus on strengthening Brother Mobi first, and I will chase up later!", Altima eventually gives Mobi an answer he loves the most. Quiet down and tired, both brothers had their rest once again and looking forward to their next day.

    "Concoction Complete! 255 Units of Balancing Zen Pill is concocted!"

    "Concoction Complete! 260 units of Balancing Zen Pill is concocted!

    The next day, with the sunrise, the city quickly gets really lively with some small commotion happen between the clans and sect, while some stall vendors are busy capturing their buyers, the liveliness made Altima felt alive. As he walked around visiting the different merchandise sold by the vendor, Altima passes by one stall with a very different sign tag.

    "Fated only Merchandise Stall"

    "Sir, what do you means with Fated only Merchandise ?", Altima asked the vendor, due to only 3 different item is placed on the Stall table.

    "My store only sell treasures. Instead of the buyer choose what he wanted to buy, I will be the one choosing for them instead. The pricing, of course, will be based on your wealth and what you have."

    "Of course, if you felt like cheated or the price I give do not worth the item I''m selling, you may leave anytime.", The vendor added.

    "If in that case, what you would choose for a buyer like me ?", Altima asked.

    The vendor looked at Altima''s feature, inspect his strength, and request Altima hand to be inspected thoroughly before he made a decision. Holding a facial feature with an impression of shocked, the vendor quickly release Altima''s hand before he chooses one spatial ring, and withdraw a Long Spear, with Two scrolls and one glowing blue bead. His facial expression too changed to a younger person in his thirties, and the strength released by him are matchable with a spiritual Practitioner.

    "Kid, This is the Surging Wave Dragon Spear, a Spiritual Practitioner Tier Weapon. Although you are too young and practically too short to use this spear now, but if you keep it by your side, the attachment will slowly move towards you, and you will easily achieve the form of (One with Spear) when you are capable of using it."

    "Together with this two scrolls, is two different Spear martial art, which compliment with this spear. If you could master this spear art until Peak grade, even those 5 years above you in age will not be able to contend with your strength and might."

    "And lastly, This Blue Bead is what your payment needed to have.", the vendor, now a burly man started to speak clearly.

    "Senior, What is the payment you need me to do ?", Altima asked.

    "I am surprised with your ability in concocting Medicine, perhaps you are really as amazing as the others say, Little Altima boy.", The burly man replied.

    "This blue bead and the Red bead within you are called Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang Extract. Mixed together with 500,000 Balancing Zen Pill, They will be concocted into a Cultivating Resources called (Dao Establishment Pill). Although the Essence within the pill is strong, but they are not cultivating resources, but a Breakthrough Bottleneck kind of Medicine."

    "If you could make me this Medicine and help me to breakthrough from Soul Practitioner to Dao Practitioner, I will be counted as Owing you a favor. What do you think ?", The Burly man speaks his heart and allows Altima to answer his request.

    "If Senior has such a high expectation on me, Little Altima will try his best to do what he could.", Altima replied.

    "If in that case, you may go back to your usual way, Do not worry about where to find me, because when you completed the Pill, I will be there to meet you.", The Burly man speaks his last word, before vanishing along with his stall.

    "Seems like I''m having another magical encounter yet again."

 Chapter 22 - Entering Warrior Practitioner Rank!

    As the Burly Man left Altima alone with his 5 Captains, Altima, whom still in a trance from the shock regarding all the information and request he had heard, gave up on his intention to continue walking around the town, and immediately return to the Guild. Other than providing guidance and lesson as he usually did daily, Altima is closing his door with the reason of closed door cultivation. Even when Qin Dun tried to inquire about anything is wrong, Altima assures him there is nothing going on, except he has a slight inspiration to obtain a breakthrough.

    With the time pass quickly, Altima once again travels along with his convoy and quickly made it back to the Hundred Miles Town within half a week. After relaying his greetings and some small matters with Wu Feng, Altima ignores almost all the others and continue to be in close door cultivation. With the duration of 1 more month had totally passed, Altima, finally came out from his room with a better skin complexion, as well as satisfied smile.

    During this time distance of almost 2 months of total cultivation, Altima had mastered and capable of using most of the martial arts he had learned. With the peak mastery on 8 Ascending Fist, First Chapter on Movement of Ghost Steps, Zhen Wu Shaking Iron Palm, First Circle of Small Circle of Tai JI, and finally the 5 Stance Essence Explosive Fist.

    Meanwhile, on the Body Strengthening martial art, Altima had himself strengthen to the 2nd Stage of Zhen Wu Warrior Body, as well on middle stage with the Little Sun of Yang Essence Technique.

    Combined with all these Martial arts, Altima currently is more than capable enough to challenge at least a 2nd Stage to 3rd Stage Warrior Practitioner, or even battle equally with a 4th Stage Warrior Practitioner. In the same time, during the period Altima is in his closed door cultivating, He manages to utilize Mobi''s Interface, thus producing a huge amount of Balancing Zen Pill for himself. Throughout the whole month, Altima manages to gather enough resources for him to Concoct a total of 15,000 Portion of Pills, in which, a total of 8,500 Pill is successfully Concocted. With this number, the Concocting Skills within the interface manage to be Increase to a Level 10, which is his maximum limit for now, but with a success rate of 65% during Concoction, Altima could reduce even more waste of Ingredient whenever he needs to produce the Balancing Zen Pills.

    Thus, After came out from his secluded training, Altima quickly proceed to apply for an approval to visit his family, walked around the town for some clothing and other material required, and quickly returned within two days. Directly heading to the Training Hall, Altima Rent a Secluded Room with an open roof which is covered with an Essence formation array where only sunlight or moonlight is allowed to enter.

    Quickly, Through assimilating the Balancing Zen Pill, Altima''s body is bursting with a large amount of Yin Yang Essence. Guiding the flow of the essence within his body, Altima utilizes both of his Zhen Wu Warrior Body, Then the Little Sun of Yang Essence Technique, to increase the amount of Essence his body could absorb before the Essence is let loose. By repeating this process, again and again, Altima quickly had his body bulging like a balloon which will explode anytime.

    When the Essence absorption reaches its maximum Capacity and limit, Altima finally manages to fill all his important acupoint and Cultivating Gate, Thus opening a new series of New Roots, which is called the 18 Essence Absorption Door. With the first door among the 18 door is unlocked, Altima body currently works like a vacuum machine, which crazily absorbing the available Yin Yang Essence all around his surrounding.

    Withdrawing more Balancing Zen Pill from his inventory, Altima had his first door absorb the Essence within all the pill as it needed, until Altima body finally giving out a light, and thus receiving a Tower of Grey and White Lights shine directly from the Sky. With this light is seen, this means that the Cultivator had successfully broken through the limit of Early Practitioner, and ascend into the 1st Stage of Warrior Practitioner of Zen.

    Floating down slowly, Altima quickly seated with a meditating position, while calming his heart from all the new abilities he achieves during the break through. With him stepping up into the Warrior Practitioner Tier, Altima receives benefits of 25% Stronger Body, Stamina, Strength as well as regeneration power. Meanwhile, in the matter of Natural Yin and Yang Essence absorption, it will be increased by 50%, where even essence energy from a slightly far away distance could be absorbed by him if he pays attention during meditation.

    As the Essence stored within the Core had evolved and began to be stored within his vein and the 1st gate among the 18 gates, The current Altima could have the stamina to fight at least 10 times longer than he did previously due to the massive storage of Essence within his body. Quickly, Altima take a look on the number of balancing zen pills is still available within his Inventory, and a Sigh came out almost instantly.

    "Just from one Breakthrough will cost me a total of 7,000 Balancing Zen Pills.", Altima Sighed, as a portion of his fortune literally gone to his first gate and remain there for him to slowly use it off.

    "Silly Brother, if you are looking at your Status, you will be shocked on how high is your Essence Gate capacity now.", Mobi quickly says something to Altima.

    "We got no choice, Let us try our hardest to keep this boy within the guild, and by the time he is old enough, he will have no choice but to allow us to keep him within the guild."

    "Who should take the responsibility to groom this child ?"

    "What do you think, Vice Guild Leader ?", Few other elder continues their words and finally stopped at Wu Feng to obtain his opinion.

    "Little Nephew, Do you prefer Freedom, where you will be handling yourself on your own, but unrestricted, or be tied with the Thousand Members Guild, gearing up and down with us while we had you groom into a fine gem, or join the Lord Gunnar Rex, and obtain immeasurable wealth with your service ?"

    "Vice Guild Master, You know how much I treasure the guild. If I don''t Stand along with the guild which allows me to grow up, what would I become when I''m older from now on ?", Altima replied Wu Feng words and showing him a determination that he will stand with the guild, no matter what.

    "Let''s have him groom by all of us together.", Wu Feng gives out a suggestion.

    "What do you think, Little Nephew ?", Wu Feng had the question thrown towards Altima.

    "Disciple give Respect to the teachers.", Altima understands their intention and quickly give them a bow.

    With all the little commotions is over, Altima finally is released and allowed to return to his room. After obtaining a sufficient rest, Altima starts his next day again with assisting the other staff member with his concoctions. With the daily Lessons, he would require attending with 10 different elders, Altima is taught with all sorts of knowledge he required to learn. Among the 10 Elders which acting as a teacher for him, Altima is thoroughly lectured, scolded to the point sometimes he will get hit and hang upside down outside of the elder''s building for being too ignorant.

    Although sometimes the treatment is slightly harsh, Altima felt loved and appreciated within the care of all the elders, through attending their lectures and being guided with a correct path of cultivation, Altima quickly grab through the initial knowledge to quickly improve his cultivation, and quickly opened his 2nd Door among the 18 Essence Absorption Door.

    "These Medicinal Deer are pretty fast for its age!", Altima keeping a distance from the medicinal deer, with the motive to tiring its stamina out, praised the Deer as he chases.

    Soon, the deer finally give up on running away, and slowly collapse towards to the Floor of grass and dirt. Minutes later, Altima gets close and use some Yang energy to replenish the Deer before he punches a small hole beside its neck, and start withdrawing the blood into the pouch. Gentle, Altima applies a pressure of Yang Essence Energy into the Deer to promote its healing, and later release the deer to run away again.

But with the situation seems so dire, some young cultivator from the guild is forced to participate in the battle as well. Within the first week, a number of reaching 1,000 Cultivators from both sides is reportedly killed.

Meanwhile for the Lord of the Town, after all, his troops manage to gather together, Quickly, he launches a Hard offensive tactic towards the northern tribe and tries to recover the whole Town under their control.

    Meanwhile, On Altima''s side, They are currently under a very hard assault from the Northern Tribe side. Even Altima himself are forced to participate in the fights between the practitioner.

    "Boy, Leave when you get the chances, our guild hope is all placed on you!", The 2nd Elder says before he rushes towards the direction where 2 Soul Practitioner of Zen is moving.

    "No thanks. I would rather leave this place after I dispose of you and your friends as much as I could."

    "Since you are not taking the nicer offer, I guess I need to get slightly rougher to this kid now.", The cultivator quickly ends what he wanted to say, and quickly get close to Altima while readying to push his way through with a claw attack.

    Escaped from the reach of the cultivator, Altima quickly applied his movement of ghost step, while preparing a Wheel of Tai JI on his right while preparing a Little Sun of Yang Essence on his left. Stepping along his path while evading the attack from the cultivator, Altima quickly found his best position, thus pushing his Left hand towards the cultivator, and clash the Little Sun directly to the Cultivators Claw.

    "Yang Energy Attack?!, The Cultivator quickly withdraw his hand and applied his Strength on the highest possible to defend against the Heat produced by the Little Sun.

    "Unfortunately, you are not on our side, I really wish we could be a great companion.", The cultivator finishes his word, and quickly, their second match started. Without giving Altima any chances to retaliate, the cultivator increases his pace in this fight.

    "Great Claw of Hidden Roc!", a claw attack immediately catches Altima unaware, and with a continue tossing, The cultivator had Altima crash directly on the Guild building before he launches another Long Fist directly towards the same direction Altima is located.

    "I won''t be able to fight him on the same stage. Based on his method of fighting and experience. Only by taking advantage on his confidence I could take him down."

    Thus, Altima quickly rearranges his steps and quickly move around While preparing Two Wheel of Tai JI from both hands. Stepping around, and maintaining his distance, Altima slowly reshapes his Wheel of Tai JI to create a turning wheel to create a strong reflective power. With the Cultivator chasing behind Altima without stopping, Altima applies the Battle Ghost Steps to his utmost limit, running across the whole area within the Office Hall and soon decided to clash directly with the cultivator.

    "You are looking for death! Qiang Kun Mystic Chain Fist!", The cultivator immediately launch a series of chain attack towards Altima, giving him no path to retreat, but with the first hit failed to get through the Shield like Wheel in both of Altima''s Hand, the cultivator suddenly had his face turn dark.

Meanwhile, on the Cultivator, countless blood had been a cough out onto the floor, dyeing the floor red in colour. With a heavy push, he quickly stands and swallows a pill he retrieves from the side of his clothing belt.

    "It is unbelievable that I am forced to take this (Life Preserving Golden Pellet), which cost me about 500 Balancing Pill to buy, in a fight with a mere 1st stage of Warrior Practitioner!!!"

    "Kiddd!!! I will kill you!", The cultivator screamed and quickly make his charge towards the directly Altima is sneaking behind, and with a punch full of essence energy, he then destroys the wall of rocks and chases Altima quickly without allowing him to take a rest.

 Chapter 25 - Boulduin Auction Hall of Myriad Treasures! (Part 1)

    "I won''t sell this bones if it''s less than 50 Balancing Zen Pills each! If you want, Take all 10 bones and I will give you an offer of 450 Balancing Zen Pills.", The Vendor starts his reply with a rough tone, with some slightly intention to intimidate his buyer so they wouldn''t haggle the price too much.

    "Old Man, if it''s based on your strength, it is impossible for you to personally hunt the Mammal Beast and had their Main Marrow Bones taken and Cleaned. If I am not wrong with my guess, you are most probably retrieved it through some luck or stolen it from some dead cultivator which met their death during hunting.

    "Young Little kid! What makes you think that I am not capable of hunting those Mammal Beast!", The Vendor, who is a cultivator too, stands up and start at Altima differently, acting like a tough mob in front of Altima''s Sight.

    "Old Man, of course, I know your capability, I am a Cultivator on 2nd Stage of Warrior Practitioner of Zen after all.", Altima quickly releases a stronger force of a Warrior Practitioner Tier to press the vendor down on his knees.

    "Stop!", suddenly a stronger cultivator appeared from the back of the Caravan, instantly competing with Altima''s Warrior Tier pressure.

    "Old man Loong, quickly ask for forgiveness from this Concocting Master!", The man quickly clasps his hand together, asking Altima to let go of this matter which caused by his ignorant butler.

    "I''m am so sorry, This master please forgive my ignorant eyes.", The butler name Old Man Loong quickly apologize for his rashness.

    "This Big brother, is this stall owned by you ?", Altima asked a question politely.

    "Call me Bai Loong(White Dragon), Young Brother, Are you interested with this Bones of the Mammal Beast ?", Bai Loong quickly takes over the deal for his stall.

    "Yes Big Brother Bai, I''m interested in purchasing all of this Bones of Mammal Beast that your stall is holding.", Altima hides none of his intention to procure this item. And at the same time, introduce himself to Bai Loong as well.

    "Little brother Altima, With this misunderstanding, I would like to give you all of this bones as a token of friendship, will you accept this ?", Bai Loong offered the Bones to Altima directly, looking forward to creating a friendship between two potentially strong youngsters.

    "Big Brother Bai, this is a little not too nice, after all, you are here to make a business too. How about I offer you something else in return ?", Altima searches his Inventory and withdraws a total of 10 Demonite Stone in return to Bai Loong.

    "I''m Glad that I could befriend with such a young and genius Cultivator. Little brother Altima, Please!", Bai Loong exchanges the spatial ring with Altima and clasps their hand in return as a token of appreciation toward each other offers.

    With the exchange is complete, Altima has a few more small talks toward Bai Loong, before he left facing the direction to the Boulduin City. From their small chatter, Altima found out Bai Loong''s Identity, which is the Young Child of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency (Loong Men Biao Ju). Having a total of 4 brother and sisters, Bai Loong is the youngest child among 4 of them. With Hei Loong(Black Dragon) as the oldest, Hung Loong(Scarlet Dragon) as the second Child and Bing Loong(Ice Dragon) as the Only sister and third Child, followed lastly by Bai Loong himself.

    Each child within the family is free to venture into their own business they prefer, as long the Loong Family Name is not tarnished by their action. As for Bai Loong, He is a person who prefers freedom and relaxing life compared to handling and managing the business like his brothers, which is why he only opened a small Stall and driving one caravan, and travel around the continent.

    With his age getting close to 11 Years Old, Bai Loong had a much more Mature feature, which makes people misunderstand him as a 14 to 15 years old child with a big body frame. Although being Bulky and mature have a benefit on its own, Bai Loong sometimes prefer himself to be a slight baby face like Altima instead. Without hiding anything from Altima, Bai Loong had his cultivation of 7th Stage of Warrior Practitioner of Zen Tier, known to Altima.

    In the same time, after Altima have left.

    "Young Master, Why would you being so humble towards this mere Concocting master ?", Old Man Loong curious with his young Master attitude with Altima.

    "Butler Loong, you can''t feel the undulation of strength in his 18 Door of Absorption, but I can feel that he have a very strong Essence Gate. Within so many practitioners I know and fight before, perhaps only Uncle Jing Loong(Gold Dragon), Big Brother Hei Loong, and Cousin Brother Wan Loong(Ten Thousand Dragon) have. With such strong Essence Gate, he could at least fight along same stage cultivator and last longer than them by a minimum 5 Times before he started to get out of Stamina.", Bai Loong praised Altima, due to the Strong Essence Gate he can felt within Altima''s Essence undulation.

    After the morning blood rush ends.

    Altima, With at least 3 Red Panda Ring all over his face, speaks slowly with Mobi, Telling him his intention on awaking his big brother up. (Altima''s Mind: I got no Idea that Slime is actually so good in Bouncing, Fighting, Tackling and Face Smashing.)

    "Big brother, I got an idea on how to try out something.", Altima quickly gets Mobi''s opinion on his decision.

    With Mobi''s Interface, the Purest Demonite stone could be produced with a material of 10 Demon Demonite Stone and 1 Arsalite Ingot.

    While for the Liquid Arsalite, additional Bone of Peak Practitioner Mammal Beast and Demonic Beast Blood(Human), Altima could look for it through the service provided by the Farmer''s Association.

    The only Important item would be the White Lotus Essence, which required a total of 24 hours for it to reach the Lotus Essence Grade.

    With this effort, Altima will need to face another Challenge. The Concocting percentage of success. Without Giving up, Altima quickly places the interface to produce a total of 500 Units of Balancing Zen Pill, while another Interface is used to Plant a total of 20 White Lotus Flower. Immediately, Altima proceeds towards the Farmer Association to place a request to obtain a total of 100 Units of Liquid Arsalite, Bone of Mammal Beast, and Demonic Beast Blood(human).

    Other than that, Altima Place an order to purchase a total of 100 more seeds of White Lotus Flower so she could plant altogether and harvest them after 24 hours. Immediately, before Altima left the building, He got a quick call from their porter immediately, stating that the item he was looking for is completely gathered. By paying a total of 380 Balancing Zen Pills for the Bones, 400 Pills for the Liquid Arsalite, and 500 for the Demonic Beast Blood(Human).

    Spending a total of 1,280 Balancing Zen Pills, Altima proceeds towards to the City Smith, and Handover a total of 1,000 Balancing Pill to Rain''s Representative. In exchange, the representative present a total of 5,000 units of Arsalite Ingots to Altima in the form inside a Spatial Ring. With all the required works is done, Altima quickly returns to the Guild and started his next Part of works.

    By Allowing Mobi consume and assimilate the total of 5,000 units of Arsalite Ingots, Mobi quickly Increase its Level from level 3 to Level 4, Receiving a bonus of Instantly activate 3 actions at one time. And quickly from Level 4 to Level 5, receiving one Additional Spatial Realm to be customized.

    "Universe Slime Reach the Level 5 - Interface Upgraded."

    "Universe Slime Reach Level 5 - 2snd Spatial Realm is Unlock!"

    "Please choose your Spatial Realm Type: Plantation / Mine Veins / Essence Resources / Livestock / Storage."

    "Essence Resources Spatial Realm - Suitable for Cultivating, Essence Gathering, Growing as well as Training. Improve Evolution and Growth by 50%."

    "Livestock Spatial Realm - Suitable for Mass Amount of Breeding and Feeding, or any Livestock Products, Increase Longevity and Health by 50%."

    "Now, Based on this two choice between Essence Resources and Livestock Realm, I would need to choose one to Develop.", Altima reconsidered, and finally, decided to make his choice to choose to develop the Essence Resources Spatial Realm.

    "Essence Resources Spatial Realm Chosen!"

    "Current Essence Resources Spatial Realm: 1 Acre Square of Land. Required Total 0/100,000 Activities to Level Up. Current Level: 0. "

    "Activities Guide: For the Essence Resources Spatial Realm, plenty of Demonic Beast, Yin, and Yang Resources, Living Essence Beast roams around the Land. With higher Essence, Count came higher Activities. The Natural cycle will be listed as below."

    Essence Energy Enter The Spatial Realm - Resources and Life Grows Accordingly - Increase in Yin Yang Essence - Encourage Resources and Life Expand Accordingly - Increase in Yin Yang Essence Greatly - Finally Harvested to increase Activities Count While reduce in Essence Energy again - Replenish Essence or Wait for maturity in Essence Energy Again.

    With the Essence Resources Spatial Realm is Operating, Altima quickly withdraws a total of 1,000 Energy Yin Pills and 1,000 Energy Yang Pills to Scatter and Release the energy Around across the 1 Acre of land, which could easily fit a total of at least 5,000 Trees with 10,000 Beast or plantations around. Since the Resources are automatically spread out and Breed, Altima leave the Spatial Realm and let it operate on its own, while checking on the Guidance Bar located outside of the Spatial Realm.

    With 3 Different Gauges. The Moving / The Living / The Essence, Altima could decipher the current condition on his Interface to know what action would be required along its way. Back to his Concoction, Altima successfully Produce a total of 310 for the 500 Portions he inserts. Resting and Practicing his martial Art, Altima had a notice from his Spatial Realm after 6 hours. Checking through the Plantation Realm, he notices no changes happened on the Realm while moving onwards to the Resources Realm, Altima Sense a strong and overfilled Amount of Yin and Yang Essence, which required being attended.

    Entering his Spatial Realm, Altima quickly walked over to the highest concentration of Yang Essence Location, just to notice there are 2 young immature Mandrakes starting to create their nest through Rooting the Surrounding Soil while separating some Mandrake Seedlings. Although with an overabundant Yang Essence Energy could promote the growth of the Mandrakes, Altima prefers to take it slightly Slower than usual.

    The reason is because as the Mandrake nest in a location with strong Flows of Yang Energy, A King will quickly appear within the Schools of Mandrakes. Through such cycle, very soon, The Place which easily Harvested for its strong Yang Energy will quickly disperse due to the Essence is being captured from the King Mandrake to cultivate. Although the Vein Energy of the Yang Energy will not disperse, but for a long term and plus he is in a personal realm, will create even more trouble upon future when harvesting the Plants.

 Chapter 26 - Boulduin Auction Hall of Myriad Treasures! (Part 2)

    After evaluating all the reason, Pros, and Cons, Altima decided to reduce to a number of Yang Essence Energy within that place and harvest only the young seedlings which recently starting to grow. Surprisingly for Altima, Whom mastering the Late Stage on the Little Sun of Yang Essence Technique, His absorption speed, and processing the Energy Yang Pill is ridiculously Quick.

    Within One hour in the Spatial Realm, Altima had himself process a total of about 120 Units of the Energy Yang Pills, which about 2 Pills produce each minute from Altima''s Processing speed. Although Altima could use the Action point to produce the similar product in a faster way, but with his current condition, Altima prefers placing 1 action on the Spatial Farm producing and tending, 1 Action on the Balancing Pill Progressing, as well as 1 Action in the Refining of Martial Arts. Never forget to mention, The producing will takes a total of 7 hours at least, where 1 hour is lesser from the initial Time required during their lower level period.

    Other than focusing on his own Production, Altima participates in the Normal guild contribution. Through providing them a concocting service and making the Yang Essence Revitalizing Pills and Low-Grade Healing Ointments for the guild. In the same time, Altima spends his available time Conducting a training session with Michael, due to the special request from Wu Feng.

    "Boy, Focus your mind, you are slacking and thinking too much while making each step!"

    Altima quickly rearranges his Ghost Battle Step, as well as revise his Movement of Ghost Step slightly to adapt to the different of opponent he is facing. While in the same time, Michael gradually adjusts his Strength from starting 2nd Stage of Warrior Practitioner to current 5th Stage of Warrior Practitioner.

    "Although this boy is not too strong in direct confrontation, but nevertheless, his Essence capacity is enormously huge. Even for myself, I am currently left with about 60% of my Essence capacity, but for him, I can''t seem to gauge it at all. By right, he should be collapsing now, due to the Essence capacity is totally depleted after few rounds of hectic battle.", Michael speaks in his mind.

    "Teacher! Please be ready!", Altima quickly informs Michael regarding his next step.

    "Come!"

    Immediately, without any hesitation, Altima quickly charge towards Michael who adjusting his strength to 6th Stage of Warrior Practitioner. Facing Altima charges, Michael quickly launches a series of fist to disturb Altima, which easily evaded by utilizing the Battle Ghost Step. In the next moment, Both is seen clashing their fist, where Altima failed to obtain any power in the first clash. Being pushed back for two steps, Altima quickly rearranges his steps before vanishing once again.

    "Boy, you are getting a little bit faster now!"

    With Michael finish speaking, Two Flying Wheel of Tai JI immediately flew from both side but defended by Michael Easily. But with his attention with defending the Wheel from both sides, Altima manage to get an advantage from this split second, thus Launching a series of 8 Diagram Crushing Fist.

    "Lesser Yin Fist! Lesser Yang Fist!"

    "Zhen Wu Iron Palm Shakes the Heaven!"

    "Wheel of Tai JI!"

    And as Altima fall back after successfully strike for 3 hits before Michael make his defensive move, Altima quickly Launch a Wu Di Long Fist, Disturbing Michael''s Concentration to move immediately when Altima retreated. With this negligence action, Altima immediately Push his luck to launch a strike Little Sun of Yang Essence Technique.

    "Boy! Not bad as a Move!"

    Immediately, Michael Push his Strength past 7th Stage of Warrior Practitioner, and Launch his Attack.

    "Howling Mammoth Wave!", An Essence Energy Type of Martial art is launched, Pushing and blocking all the range attack, and totally nullified them.

    "Mighty Sunlight Fist!", Michael launches his next combo attack, with the fist covered fully by Yang Energy, a blinding light quickly flashed across the Arena. Luckily, Altima manages to defend the strike as Michael intention is to hit the sides when Altima have the strongest Defence.

    "Thousand Jin Continuous Fist!", following behind, after seeing Altima had his Wheel of Tai JI spread opened to for a sphere of a shield, Michael quickly launches a succession fist, thoroughly weaken Altima Defence a little by little, until the Sphere is cracked.

    "It''s OVER!, BOY!"

    "Valiant God Judgement Fist!"

    With a final strike, Altima quickly go pushed back from the arena, weakened and slightly injured. Although this practice is only essential and non-life threatening, Michael wished to push it to the extent where Altima knows how fatal and dangerous it is to fight in a life and death battle. Only through putting him in such life and death situation, Altima could learn on how to instantly decide for what best to preserve his life.

    After the practice session is over, Altima returned to his room, and slowly digest all the Method, Way of Attack and tactics. Through continuously going along with this life, the time span of almost 3 weeks passes in a blink of eyes. Within the 3 weeks, Altima successfully plant a total of 120 White Lotus Flower, which all of it grows until the White Lotus Essence before harvested. As the Flower is bearing the same similarity like Powder Flower, Altima manages to harvest a total of 180 units of the White Lotus Essence for his personal usage.

    Meanwhile, for the additional time available after the White Lotus Flower is harvest, Altima had himself plant the Powder flower without stopping, managing himself a total of 16,200 Stems at the end of the day, where he spent a total of 7,000 Stems and 14,000 Young Beanstalk to produce a total of 7,000 Portions of Balancing Zen Pill. By the end of the day, Altima manages to pocket a total of 4,100 Pills as his success record, thus bringing his total Balancing Zen Pill In hand to a total 4,367 units.

    Next, With the complete 10 sets of Ingredient available for his Concoction on the Marrow Cleansing Elixir, Altima Finally started the Concoction. Through Processing a total of 3 Portions by using 3 different Actions, Altima himself handling one portion of the ingredient himself through the concocting Session. Before starting, Altima had given a notice to all other guild members, where he would required a full silence and undisturbed period of time, which all other members retreated from staying on the same floor with Altima for a certain period of days.

    Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

    To Start the Concoction, Altima firstly Place a total of 5 Different Cauldron Within his Concocting Table. Firstly, Altima Control a total of 5 Different Flame formed by his Yang Energy Essence, with Lowest flame on the Liquid Arsalite, Moderate flame on the Bones of Mammal, Strongest Flame on the Purest Demonite Stone, Mixed Yin Yang Flame on the Lotus Essence, and finally a Strong Flame on the Demonic Beast Blood(human), which keep on cooled from Boiling temperature with Yin Essence Energy.

    With the Extract Came out from each of the bones of mammal, Altima quickly disposes the crumbling bones away from the Cauldron, before adjusting the flame into a weaker Flame, meanwhile at the same time, Slowly adjusting the Flame from Lowest to strongest Flame on the Liquid Arsalite. Next, within seconds, the Lotus Essence started to reach its boiling temperature, which added into the Demonic Beast Blood(human) to create a special kind of Mixture, while getting rid of the blood impurities within slowly. With the Finally Concentrated Liquid Arsalite is added into the Purest Demonite Stone together with the Extract from the Bones of Mammal Beast, A special reaction appears within the Cauldron itself.

    The Liquid Arsalite started to penetrates the Purest Demonite Stone, and quickly drill its way out from the Stone Core, turning its colour into a clear transparent Liquid before flows downwards to the Bone Extract which is White as lotus-coloured. With all this 3 different Substance managed to be combined, Altima quickly moves the Substance from both Cauldron into One new Cauldron and placing a different 3 Flames within with a cover formed by Yin Essence Energy.

    Through equally dividing the Flame on Low, Medium and Strong on 3 Different sides, forming a triangle, Altima had the Liquid mix together while stirred within the cauldron. As the colour of the mixture quickly formed a clear and fragrant smell, Altima prepared himself to withdraw the liquid and placed them into the Elixir Bottle, But within seconds, the Fragrant flavour suddenly vanished, replaced with a rotten burnt and bloody smell, which tarnishes the Liquid almost instantly.

    With such quick changes, Altima first trial on concocting this Elixir ends up as a failure.

    Without giving up, Altima quickly Tried again, after cleaning all his Cauldron and powered them with a strong Essence energy from Yin Essence and Yang Essence. On Altima second tries, the Liquid failed during the part of mixing the last 2 substance from the cauldron. While on his third tries, Altima Failed once again, which is during the Mixture of Extract from Bones of Mammal beast with the Liquid Arsalite and Purest Demonic Stone.

    But on the fourth trial, Altima finally found his mistakes, Through adjusting slightly, and allowing the Extract from Bones of Mammal Beast to permeate into the Purest Demonite Stone, thus creating a slightly different Substance colour before allowed to mix with the Liquid Arsalite. Through this method, Altima manages to create a slightly watery texture of liquid before he mixes both together and boils until the fragrant came out from the final cauldron, and getting ready to be bottled. Unfortunately, before the bottling, the fragrant from the final results is gone, thus missing the medical quality within.

    Finally, In his fifth trial, Altima finally succeed in his Concocting. By adjusting the Yang Flame into Yin Essence Flame, Altima manages to sooth the heat within the final process of the liquid, thus strengthening the Medicinal Properties into its best value, before the bottling process is complete. Meanwhile on the Production from the Interface, All 3 bottles of Production is a failure.

    Within this 8 sets of the ingredient, Altima only manages to success one bottle, but luckily, Altima manages to capture the required procedure and techniques to successfully concoct it. With the Final Result of 3 Bottle of Successful Concocting, Altima manage to reserve a total of 3 Bottles of Marrow Cleansing Elixir. Next morning, Altima Proceed directly towards the Boulduin Auction Hall, and entered it along with the other seller who wish to add their products to the auction itself.

    Within the Cubicle of Inspection, One professional Auctioneer cum Treasure Appraiser came in to talk with Altima, enquiring about his product.

    "So, young master here, What would you like to Auction with our Boulduin Auction Hall ?"

    "I have three bottles of Elixir here to Auction, would you please try to appraise its worthiness, and will it be precious enough to enter the auction ?"

    The Appraiser started by opening one bottle to smell its Medicinal Fragrant before any further words, but a shocked looking face comes before he manages to speak another word.

    "This is!!"

    "Young Master, Please stay here, I believe only my Master have the skill to correctly appraised such treasure!"

    And within 10 minutes of waiting, Two master appraiser came into the room, speaking politely with Altima before they proceed to inspect the Elixir.

    "Young Master, are you the recently well-known character from thousand members guild, Altima El Mist ?"

    "Yes, Master Appraiser."

    "If in that case, No wonder this Marrow Cleansing Elixir would have such a pure Medicinal Value will appear."

    30,000!

    Altima tried to control his shock but based on this elixir and its medicinal properties, a merely 30,000 pills is actually an underestimated price. After agreeing to allow the Auction Hall to handle the Required documents regarding its participation.

    With this Preparation is done, Altima had himself ready to expect how would the Auction goes in the next 3 days.

 Chapter 28 - I am Yang Wu Di!

    With the path blocked by all the people belonged to Gu Heng and his Gu Family Escorts Agency, Altima has no way to go around. Instead of thinking about charging out from this situation, Altima believe tried to talk would be the best way, due to this group still have 2 cultivator in their 1st Stage of Master Practitioner of Zen within as the backup plan in case any unexpected events happened.

    "I wonder what is the Issue for the Gu Family Escort Agency wish to talk with this little one ?", Altima asked politely.

    "Kid, although we are not enemies or any sort, I''m afraid we have the order to at least crippled you and your cultivation before we return to our Young Master."

    "So, due to only one simple issue of messing with your bidding on an ingredient, will cost me my cultivation and even my life ?", Altima is annoyed and disturbed, seeing how ridiculous their reasoning to cripple one person and his cultivation.

    "This Life is all about strength, after all, if you have strength, you will be the king, the strong will always feed on the weak, and the weak should always be at the Strong''s mercy.", The Master Practitioner speaks out loudly while causing the surrounding guards to scattered.

    "Correct! Without Strength, You will be always fed by the strong, and always maintain weakling forever!", Rain from City Smith Corporation suddenly Appeared at the end of the path.

    "Does that means, even if the person in front of you are one of the most potentially to help you in future ?", Alec Boulduin, the City Lord of Boulduin City appeared with Melissa Boulduin.

    "Seems like the Thousand Members Guild will need to stop all their business corporation with the Gu Family Escort Agency.", Michael Speaks, while getting close to the side of two Master Practitioner of Zen.

    "Brother Altima, I am Yang Wu Di. Bai Loong recently talked to me about you, the potential Concocting Master. If you trust me and my strength, would you mind walk with me while we tied up a friendship along the way ?", Even Yang Wu Di himself personally appeared within the commotion and started a speech.

    "This. Guys, let us go, this time, we are unable to afford to offend this group of people.", The people from Gu Family Escort Agency quickly left, without even greeting or any other words with running with the tails between their legs.

    "Little Altima Appreciate all of the Big Brother, and Seniors help in this matter!", Altima quickly says his thanks towards all the people who speak on behalf of him immediately once the group of people left.

    "Little Brother, Shall we ?", Yang Wu Di make a hand gesture, meant to lead the way with Altima along with their talking.

    "Vice Guild Leader Michael and City Lord Boulduin, Please Excuse me for now, I will return to you after I have my matter solve.", Altima quickly gives a respect to Alec, Michael, and later a small gesture towards Rain and immediately Leave with Yang Wu Di and others.

    "This young guy will have a very high potential Possibility. I wonder how would he fare when he grow up more.", Alec speaks with Michael and Rain before he left the Auction Hall Area.

    In another spectacular site of Boulduin City, which only opened towards the people whom having a title and approval came go in.

    "Little Brother, I guess now I can understand why Bai Loong give you such a high marks when he was speaking about you.", Yang Wu Di started.

    "Older brother Yang, This little brother does not worth all the praised you and Big Brother Bai gave me, I''m just a simple concocting Practitioner, That''s all.", Altima replied humbly, while not putting on air between him.

    As the duo walked and share their experience regarding cultivation, Concocting, and matters about the world, Altima started to feel some closeness between him and Yang Wu Di. Based on maturity, Yang Wu Di is one of the most potentially strongest among the people he knows, with the Base Strength of 6th Stage of King Practitioner of Zen. With this strength, Yang Wu Di could easily rule over the Southern of the continent, but instead, he chooses to not taking any action while remaining virtuously between the whole continent.

    From what Yang Wu Di shared along with Altima, he roughly has an idea on how this current Continent works. Within this Continent called Blue God Continent (Lan Shen Da Lu), A total of 3 Royal Family , 6 Alliance , 9 Corporation , 12 Sect , 15 Clans and 18 Guilds is scattered all around the Continent. This continent is divided into Great North, which Consist of Middle Northern, End Northern, Central Northern, West Northern and East Northern. Middle Northern is also the Capital of one Big Royal Family, Lead by the Guo Royal Family.

    The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

    A total of 15 City , 30 Town, and 60 Villages is divided equally within each State in the Great North, While for the South, East and West is roughly the same, The Wu Di Royal Family is Situated in the South, while the Qin Royal Family Ruled the East. Within the West, the place is ruled by a group of the barbarian named the Ming Cult. In the Virtuous Southern, where Altima and Yang Wu Di is located, are labelled as the Central Southern. The Upper Southern is where The Cedric Qi controlled at the moment, along with his City and 3 more Village he has taken over. On another part, is the Freezing Southern, which located the most bottom of the Blue God Continent, and the South Western and South Eastern State. Currently, The Wu Di Royal Family resides in the South Eastern state.

    Through obtaining so much information from Yang Wu Di, Altima couldn''t help but ask him on his desire to getting close to Altima, where Yang Wu Di easily Replied him with a sentence.

    "One place can''t have no Kings, but One who wish to become a king can''t have no Friends. All I am looking for is people who Trust me with my path, and will go with me until I am either dead or Becoming the Ruler.", Yang Wu Di Says.

    "What will become to those without Strength ?", Altima asked.

    "Strength-less is still a strength itself. Be it Strength in Power, or Strength in Politics, or perhaps Strength in Financial or in Knowledge, this is all strength.", Yang Wu Di Replied once again, Added with one more Sentence behind before he stopped.

    "The only thing without strength is Betrayal."

    "What will you do, if you are betrayed ?", Altima asked his last question.

    "I rather Betray the world, instead of allowing the world betray me.", Says Yang Wu Di.

    "Big Brother Yang.", Altima Called him yet again, but with a firmer, and Strong Words.

    "Little Brother Altima.", Yang Wu Di, Called Altima in the same way.

    Where from this moment, One Step for Yang Wu Di to Carve forward to the reign of the whole Blue God Continent, Had started.

    One Month Later, New Year had come once again. Celebrating and doing all sorts of practice and traditional customs, All different sides throughout the continent is enjoying a month of peace before they continue with the previously irreconcilable conflicts. Meanwhile, for Altima, This youngster is busy enjoying the companion with his parents, whom he had been missing for at least 3 months without words.

    Currently, The Hundred Miles Town are at their weakest State, due to the previous Attack from the Upper Southern a few months ago. With most part of the town is affected, a portion of the Town Resident started to move away from the Town and Migrating towards the nearest city, which is the Boulduin City to Reside and work there for a better living. Through this issue, The Hundred Miles Town quickly got Deserted, thus reducing the Efficiency of the Town in producing their products.

    But luckily, With Altima''s current wealth, Operating a Small Agency to operate on its own to assist Altima in his own personal material procurement is easy. Through certain Contact and trustable Manpower gave directly from the Wu Di Royal Family, Altima quickly establishes his own Procurement Agency, Name "Universal Material Agency(Qian Kun Cai Liao Hang).

    With the Universal Material Agency working on behalf for Altima to procure more Materials, very quickly, this Agency manage to become one of the Major Trading Centre, Focusing only on few Type of Ingredient such as Beanstalks, Powder Flowers, Energy Yin and Yang Pills, Lotus Flower, Essence Suckling trees, Mandrakes, Essence Pearl and many more other Basic ingredients. While trading is done in the currency of utilizing the Balancing Zen Pills as main Currency.

    With the Agency is opened and running Smooth, Altima decided that he would require to workout himself, where he directly travelled towards the North Eastern from the Hundred Miles Town and have a Training Cum Ingredient Procurement Travel towards the mountain which called as the Mountain of Abysmal Demon. Within lies, Demonic Goblin Mine which placed at the centre of the mountain while located nearby the Mines would be the Mountain of Beakhead Vultures, as well as the Peak Mountain of Snow beast Tribe.

 Chapter 29 - Essence Resources Realm!

    Within 5 days worth of walking trip, Altima quickly reaches the First Stop before the mountain, which is the Demonic Goblin Mines. Before the mines, Altima run across few low cultivation miners, who used to do some mining works around the outer area from the mines due to the infested Mining Cave is always patrolled by at least 10 to 15 Goblins from different cultivation.

    One of the most frequently met Group of Goblins often came in a number of 5 Demonic Goblin Warrior, 2 to 5 Demonic Goblin Archer, 1 to 2 Demonic Goblin Guards, and sometimes, with additional 2 to 3 Demonic Goblin Berserker. Goblin Warrior often has a cultivation about 1st Stage of Warrior Practitioner, while Peak Early Practitioner on the Archer and Guards. The Berserker will be the most difficult to handle, due to their crazy cultivation of 5th stage of Warrior Practitioner.

    In the same time, due to the Strong Yin Essence within the Metal surroundings, the enhancement and growth applied towards the goblin started to heads towards a ridiculous rate. Thus due to this matter, Many productions related to Metal Works started to get disrupted, and even some casualties had been reported due to some of the goblins started to venture out from their Mine to attack other passers-by, Miners, and Cultivators.

    Immediately, Altima had himself Gear up with his Stunning Green Jade Glove, and head towards a group of Goblins, which according to their path and moving speed, is expected to meet the group of miners he met a while ago. With the mind of protecting the miners and obtain the Demonite Stone from the Goblins as a reason, Altima quickly went into the goblin''s path and begin to mess with their attention, before the group of 7 started to chase after Altima while going ahead from where there came from.

    "6 Demonic Goblin Warrior and 1 Archer. Not a bad encounter for first time.", Altima control his pace, before he manages to attract the fastest Goblin Warrior to take the initiative to attack, but before the attack hit, Altima had his (Wheel of Tai JI) flew towards the Goblin Warrior, Damaging it before Altima launch his next (Zhen Wu Iron Palm Shakes the Earth).

    With a 2 Chain combo attack, Altima quickly dispose of one of the Goblin Warrior before the rest arrive on the spot. Perhaps due to the Goblin aren''t as attached to the Humans, they don''t show any reaction upon seeing their dead members. Instead, the Archer began Withdrawing its arrow and prepare to aim towards Altima''s direction. Seeing how the Goblin behaved, Altima quickly take his Battle Ghost Step into the next stage, moving around the Circle of his reach.

    With a deployment from the (Wheel of Tai JI) in the form of a sphere, Altima deflected some of the Warriors attacks, while evading the Arrow which came from the Archer, before he launches a series of Continuous (Huge Essence Explosion Fist). Hitting almost all of the target, Altima ends another Goblin Warrior with his (Dragon Raging Claw). Without any extra effort, but maintaining his composure in holding his calmness and Tactics, Altima quickly disposes another 4 Goblin Warriors, before chasing up towards the Goblin Archer which slowly move away from him during his effort to dispose of the 5th and 6th Goblin Warrior.

    With the Group of Goblins is defeated and killed, Altima quickly harvest all the available material from the corpse, obtaining a total of 7 Goblin Hide, 7 Goblin Rusty Equipment, 14 pieces of Goblin Fang, 1 Crude Goblin Bow with 10 Crude Stone Arrows, 6 Wooden made Knuckle Ring, 7 Demonite Stone, and 7 Bottles of Demonic Beast Essence(Human). With the material all harvested, Altima proceeds towards to the closer area between the mines and its open forest area.

    Along the path, Altima disposes another two groups of a 7 Goblins team and a 9 Goblins team. With the reduced population from this few scouts, perhaps very quickly the Goblin Leader will send some big group to quickly solve the missing team matters. After a half day wandering around, exterminating another 2 groups of 10 Goblins team and a 6 Goblins team while keeping the Goblin on check, Altima finally seen his first Goblin Berserker, whom easily spotted due to the height of the berserker is at least 2 metres in Height, compare to a normal Goblin Warrior which possess about 1.4 Metres in height.

    From the rough inspection, Altima manage to deduce the team, which consist of 1 berserker, and 1 archer, followed with 10 Warriors. In between of them, there is a few small little 1 Meter height Goblins which have no cultivation at all. Through the Information from Mobi''s Library of Data, these Tiny goblins are categorized as Peons. Having no fighting power nor cultivation at all, Peons are holding the position of Slave within the Hierarchy of Goblins.

    With some quick change in tactics, Altima quickly adjusts his Gloves, Tightened it  and went for a few cracking on his bones, before he prepares to charge towards the team.

    "It''s Do or Nothing!", Altima rushed directly, facing the blind spot of the Berserker. With such a chances given to him, it would be a waste if he is not taking advantage of it.

    "Four Symbol of Xi Siang Fist, Symbol of Azure Dragon!", Altima Quickly Launch one of his current strongest Martial Art, and Directly send the Berserker to fall face first directly towards the hard carpet of rocks. Without giving any of the goblin time to react, Altima quickly continues with his (Lesser Yin Fist) and (Lesser Yang Fist) continuously on all the preys he could reach immediately.

    Almost instantly as well, the Goblin Berserker getting mad and howls loudly, before he waves his arms and gave Altima an Elbow strike, which Altima manage to defend with the assistance of Wheel of Tai JI in sphere mode. But against such strong strike, Altima could not help but be pushed back about 6 steps from his initial position, before moving again from the spot and quickly get closer to the Goblins again.

    Running a quick inspection, Altima manage to at least weakened the Berserker''s strength by 10% at least from his sneak attack just now, while manage to heavily injured about 4 Warriors and Killing the only archer within the team. Next, in his aim, Altima wished to totally clean all the Goblin Warrior first, before he starts facing the Berserker directly. Action instead of consideration, Altima quickly sped directly, aiming for a direct confrontation with the group of Warriors. The berserker notice Altima action, thus moving forward as well from another side direction, but with his movement is read by Altima, instead of stopping in front of the warriors during the confrontation, Altima over sped himself, stopping only at the corner between two Warrior before he launch a direct (Twin Dragon Raging Claw) attack on both hand towards the two warriors, Killing them instantly.

    The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

    Continue to run like a mice around the circle, Altima quickly disposes of yet another 3 Warriors, through using a (Zhen Wu Iron Palm Shakes the Earth) and a (Dragon Raging Claw). With only 5 more warriors left within the group, Altima easily disposes all of them, before he is stopped on his track, and forced to face the berserker face to face. Filled with excitement and eagerness, Altima does not stop on his steps. Maintaining the same position while creating a starting point for at least 10 different paths, Altima quickly moved by a total 8 steps before he reaches the same initial position, where the Berserker just recently ends his long punching attack.

    Maintaining a stable and calm Heart and mind, Altima currently manage to obtain the advantages even when he is facing an opponent 3 stage above his cultivation. Without showing any intention to retreating, Altima quickly gains opportunity to Control the flows of the battle. Steadily reducing the strength of the Berserker until it is almost dead, Altima finally prepares to Finish his deed, until a suddenly, A prompt came out in front of the view.

    "Capture Goblin Berserker into Essence Resources Spatial Realm ?"

    "What is this all about ?"

    "Information!"

    "Denied."

    "Capture Goblin Berserker into Essence Resources Spatial Realm ?"

    "Yes."

    "Goblin Berserker Captured. Activities increased by 50. Current Progress: 250/100,000 Activities."

    "What the Hell ?", Altima finally noticed the extra 200 Activities point within his Essence Resources Spatial Realm.

    Almost Immediately after Altima gather all the available material from the dead Goblins, Altima immediately Entered the Spatial Realm. With his eyes opened and his surrounding appeared to be abundant with the flows of Yin and Yang Essence, Altima quickly runs around the 1 acre of his Spatial realm, checking on the changes happened within this realm  to give him a total of additional 200 Activities point.

    Immediately, Altima Notice the growth of Two Special plants.

    The first one is the Ten Year Strength Walking Ginseng. This Medicinal Master Grade Life Infused Plant, have the ability to move around to gather Yang Essence Energy to grow itself. Through Allowing this Ginseng to Mature and grow, a special grade medicine is able to be harvested. A 100 Years Strength Walking Ginseng, which is a crucial ingredient to Craft a Master Establishment Pill.

    The second one is the Migrating Spirit Flower. This flower only blooms once in every time the Migrating Spirit Essence is completely mature. Only mature-able in places or land which rich with Yin Essence Energy, The Migrating Spirit Essence often Migrates upon maturity, to search for a new place to Grow its seedling once again.

    With both Plants is growing within Altima''s Spatial Realm, Altima deduces that the contributor for this 200 Activities point came from them. Next, Altima searches for the Goblin Berserker he just manages to Capture. After searching for a short while, finally, the Goblin Berserker managed to be seen. The Berserker within this Spatial Realm has seemed much more Milder, and less blood lusting compared to the one before during the fight.

    "Master.", The Goblin Berserker Speaks.

    "What is your name ?", Altima is pretty shocked with the Berserker speaks, but quickly return to normal as he knows that highly cultivated Demonic Beast usually knows how to speak human language, some even have slightly human personality within, whereupon ascension, the Demonic Beast could choose to ascend as a human form Immortal instead.

    "I have no Name, master.", Answered the Goblin again.

    "If in that case, I will give you one. Let us call you Victor.", Altima easily thinks a name and had the goblin take the name for himself.

    "Victor Have a name! Victor! Victor!", a blinding light shine on the Goblin Berserker, and Thus a Status could be seen beside him.

    "What ? Did he just got enlighten ?", Altima quickly checks on his condition immediately.

    Victor, The Named Goblin Berserker (Cultivation: 1st Stage Warrior Practitioner of Zen Demonic Beast)

    Arts: Goblin Tribe Random Fist (Peak) Goblin Tribe Crushing Fist (Peak) Goblin Tribe Life Preserving Technique (Peak) Goblin Tribe Leadership (Lower) Goblin Tribe Bloodlust (Lower)

    Loyalty: 100% / 100%

    Status: Growth and Maturing. (Slave)

    Points: 50 Points Every 24 hours.

    With the status is checked, Altima finally realize that this is how he could use the Essence Resources Spatial Realm. And with this Newly received secret, Altima, Secretly came out with a plan for his future use, in case it''s forced to that point where he can have no return.

 Chapter 30 - Within the Demonic Goblin Mines!

    With the Goblin Berserker Victor is pretty well handled, Altima left the Spatial Realm after a quick check on the current condition and status on the spatial realm reports. Within the Realm, due to the high quantity of Mandrakes are flourishing within the area with Thick Yang Energy, the Energy started to be absorbed without a balance and restriction. With this mishandling, Altima''s Realm will be very quickly facing a difficulties to maintain its Yang Essence Energy efficiently. But for Altima, After a few moments of discussion with Mobi, the brothers finally decided with the usage of Demonite Stone to increase the Flourishing ability of the Yang Essence Energy from a Stem-Based Plants which Grows in the Center of the Yin Yang Logo which represent the Yang Essence Energy.

    With a number of 11 Piece of Demonite Stone is buried beside each of this (Dragon''s Life Drilling Roots), a richer and fattier soil could be helpful for this plant to grow. Currently, Altima has a total of 11 Roots within his Spatial Realm, where each of them produces a merely 11 units of Energy Yang Pills Worth of the essence to support the Yang Essence requirement Plants and beast.

    Meanwhile, in the same counterpart, on the Center of the Yin Essence Energy side, The (Skeletal of Death Drilling Roots), are facing the same problem, due to the Plantations which required abundant Yin Energy is growing quickly, the Roots couldn''t provide enough Yin Essence Energy to support them. With this kind of issue happening within the Spatial Realm, a competition will soon starts, where only the strongest plant could survive, and sooner or later, the Drilling roots will be the next target for this Yin and Yang Energy Dependant Plants and beast to devour.

    By doing the same thing to the (Skeletal of Death Drilling Roots), Altima quickly helps in protecting and focus on the plants first, before placing anything else in his focus.

    "Victor!", Altima had Victor called.

    "Yes Master.", Within minutes, Victor came, with a Mandrake on his hand. As he faces his new master, Victor presents the mandrake to Altima, but rejected as he said, you need to grow your strength, so eat it.

    "Victor, I need you to make sure this 2 types of plants are well guarded, and protected from any attacks from any plants or spirit beast in future, do you understand ?", Altima shows the two different plants to Victor.

    "Understand, Master. To goblins, This 2 Tree is Good! Goblin No destroys this tree, Goblin all Pray.", Victor voice his word indicates that the Goblin all prays to this 2 type of plant like their god. Perhaps it was due to the abundant essence is generated from this plant is benefitted by the goblins, as they are adaptable to any of the Energy to grow.(1)

    A while later, after allowing Victor to handle the Spatial Realm, Altima exited the realm and take a look into some of his production on the Plantation Realm instead. During his busy period on establishing the Universal Material Agency, Altima had completely stopped his Plantation Realm from continuing their production. Very quickly. Altima Place a total of 100 plots worth of seeds into his selection, and had a 100 Beanstalk Tree to start growing within the Plantation Realm.

    Meanwhile, after calculating how much Balancing Zen Pills is still available within his inventory, Altima sigh for a little before he continues to explore around the mines, slowly getting rid of the Goblins team while waiting for his Plantation Realm to Mature. In the first 12 hours, Altima roughly disposed of a total of 6 groups of goblin, while capturing a second Goblin Berserker within his spatial realm. While on the second 12 Hour, Altima spends his time Cultivating himself, and very quickly due to a large amount of resources available, he manages to close the gap between his 2nd Stage and 3rd Stage of Warrior Practitioner of  Zen. With a little more time spend on the Cultivation, Altima is expected to reach the 3rd Stage within 2 more days.

    But within his mind, Altima currently think slightly differently. As one steps into the Warrior Practitioner of Zen, his 18  Essence Absorption Door will be opened, and with each Stage one cultivator breakthrough, 2 Doors will be opened, until the 10th Stage of Warrior Practitioner, where Thoroughly Combined all the 18 Doors into one Warriors Gate. Upon success to combined the Warriors Gate, One will be able to Breakthrough across the Gap between Warrior and Master Practitioner, and entering the 1st Stage of Master Practitioner Strength.

    But, Currently Altima only opened 2 out of 18 Doors even though he already break through the 2nd Stage and closing to 3rd Stage. Due to this reason, Altima held back his cultivation and thus increase his strength through Mastering his Martial Art instead. And on the same time, due to the lack of written guidance and Information about the 18 Essence Absorption Door, Altima currently have no other choice but to absorb essence whenever he has the chances.

    After exploring for a short while, disposing of another 2 team before he gets close towards the mines.

    "Brother Mobi, How is the Thorough Scanning goes along now ?", last 2 minutes before it''s complete. This mine is huge. in my opinion, at least 1,000 Goblins is stationed within.", Mobi quickly answered Altima, while Altima preparing himself to enter the Goblin Mines.

    Energy Undulation: 160% Yin Energy Concentration / 37% Yang Energy Concentration / 3% Space Energy Concentration.

    Threat to User: Normal Low to Extreme Moderate

    With this Through Scanning had gone through, Altima quickly explores within the Mines and looking forward to seeing what challenge came along from exploring this Mines. After entering and descending for about 500 Meters within the shaft, Altima finally came in view of a Largely opened Room, which seems to be the main Production area for the Metal Workers and blacksmith to temper, refine and process the Ores which came straight out from the Mining Room.

    Overlooking the Room which infested by at least 1,000 Peons and about 500 of the Goblin Warriors guarding around, Altima quickly rush towards the crowd, and started his strategy by Running around the Room and slowly dispose the warriors slowly, while taking care of the peons later, but unexpectedly, What Altima is looking forward to happening does not go along his way.

    The Warriors are extremely organized, With the peons continuing their works, the warriors form a double defensive line, with some 9 Warriors Team arranged across the line. Meanwhile, straight opposite from the shaft exit Altima just came from, numbers of 20 archers came over, appeared to be ready to launch their arrows whenever they are ordered. Without hesitation, Altima quickly escapes from standing still on his position and rush towards the left most section of the Goblin defensive team, which is also the farthest reach from the first 9 Warriors team.

    Immediately, Altima throws two Wheel of Tai JI directly towards the Warriors defensive line, and Sorted his 8 Diagram Crushing Fist into the highest initial Stance, before ready to receive the upcoming attack from the groups of Goblin Warriors. Getting frontal charged by a total of at least 100 Goblin Warriors, Altima is ready to challenge himself on how strong he is facing so many opponents which only one stage lower than him.

    "Eight - Eight Sixty-Four Continuous Unbroken Fist!", Immediately, a Ba Gua Diagram Chain of fist started to form within Altima''s Reach quickly locking all the opponents. With a continuous 64 different approach and rhythm, Hitting away or controlling all the goblin warriors who getting close to him.

    With the knowledge of Altima in the Ba Gua and its properties, This fist quickly manages to control the crowd, thus killing the warrior efficiently, as the goblins have no method to defend such a deep and harmonized Martial Arts. Although Altima is yet from mastering this Martial art, but to manage his form into such a state, are something worth praising for his achievement.

    Very Quickly, Altima manages to Dispose the total of 100 Goblin Warriors which tried to take him down. But not without a sacrifice of getting injured on both side of his smaller wrist and 5 arrow grazed injuries during the exchange. But with a few quick applications and a Yang Essence Revitalizing Pill, Altima quickly recover to his fit condition and be ready for the next exchange.

    But with this time, the archers had left the location with most of the peons while leaving only another 100 more of the Goblin Warriors within the Processing Room, With haste, Altima quickly move around and dispose all the 100 remaining Goblin Warriors, before he manages to take a rest, which is after he was occupied with them for another 4 hours.

    "I would never imagine that this is the first time I am very much Depleted from using too much Yin and Yang Essence.", Altima says to himself, after suffering a hard after effect from Using the (8x8=64 Continuous Unbroken Fist). But what Altima doesn''t even dare to run it across his mind is, There will be no Practitioner manage to use this Martial art before he reaches the minimum 10 Doors opened.

    With an hour of rest, Altima quickly gathered the materials, and leave the Room, heading towards the exit immediately.

    Writers Note:

    (1)Please note that to make the goblins is not fluent with the human language, I purposely make the goblin speak "Tree" instead of Plants. This is not a grammar mistakes or typo, but a purposely made speech.

 Chapter 31 - New Member, Gunther!

    With the material gathered and quickly left the Mines, Altima currently retreated back to the outside of the mines, with a total of 400 pieces of Arsalite Ingots which placed all around the Room. Very quickly, the goblin started to distribute their ranks, sending out at least a total of 20 teams to explore and build up a defensive line, causing nearby miners and ingredient hunter leave the outer mountain and retreated.

    With Altima himself leaving the mountain too, he returned towards the nearest village, which located just at the side of the entrance of the mountain, for a restock and a place to stay for a while. Although Altima could spend a night outside of the forest or staying in his Spatial Realm, Altima still prefer a comfortable night at least, especially after he had such a tiring Fight half day back.

    Through spending a night at the Inn, Altima had his basic work harvested, Bringing in 600 total Young beanstalks into his inventory on their first gathering, with two more 12 hour span to go, Altima next had a rough check on the Resources Essence Realm and ignore taking any actions within due to the (Moving) / (Living) / (Essence) bar are all in a healthy condition. In the same time, an additional Points of 200 Activities point is added into the Activities Point, coming from 2 special plants within the spatial realm with 2 Goblin Berserker, whom Altima Name them Victor, whom previously mentioned, and the new members of the spatial realm, Vector.

    With 2 Berserker taking care of both of the Drilling Roots, Altima eventually assigns them to handle all the task for the spatial realm, while he himself taking his own resting time as well as looking for materials to strengthen his goblin, Berserkers. One more day had passed, where Altima is busy with his reading all the materials and book of knowledge within Mobi''s Interface.

    With a fully rested body, Altima readied himself to leave the Inn and head towards the Goblin Mines direction once again. Very quickly, Altima reaches the entrance of the mines, where the Goblin team are packed and densely concentrated. Repeating all the works he had done two days back, Altima had all the 9 goblin team defeated and killed, reducing another 110 units of Goblin Warrior again. Before entering the Mines, Altima entered the Resources Realm, allowing another 22 units of Demonite Stone planted beside the Drilling plant, before checking on the both Berserker''s Inventory. From their rough Stash made from piling the Branches and Strong Vines.

    Victor - 21 x Mandrakes / 5 x Seed of Blood Cherry Tree / 1 x Dried Bitter Bark Tree Worm (Yang Essence Orientated)

    Vector - 14 x Cocoon of Scarlet Bitter Grass Worm / 10 x Nuts from Pale Coloured Tree / 2 x Bone Powder from Fake Bone Plants. (Yin Orientated)

    Through checking on their respective stash, Altima deduces that due to their nature and the place they always stay on, will affect which side of cultivation will the goblin head towards. With the required attention is given, Altima went into the Mines again, but this time, instead of meeting as much as the goblins like last time, this time, the guard is more lax, where only about 500 Peons is busy working with all the Metal processing, while only 30 Warriors standing on guards.

    Quickly dispose of the group of 30 Warriors, Altima Had the peons all taunted, and left without resistance. Except one Peon, whom still deeply attached to the Metal he is working on. Feeling weird and astounded by his undiverted attention, Altima went over and have a look on this Little peon, which still busy hammering his metal and later showing his Piece of Ingot to Altima, before starting to speak.

    "Me. Peon. No. Run. Me. Peon. Work. Eat. Run. Will. Die.", the peon speaks a simple language, but roughly understandable on Altima''s opinion.

    "Me. Peon. Work. Human. No. Kill. Yes ?", Stating such intention, Altima, who had no more intention to kill this peon in front of him, opened his spatial real and had Victor and Vector out from the Realm to try to talk to the Peon.

    In their own languages, all the 3 Goblins Tribe speaks and chat nonstop, until 15 minutes later, after Altima finish collecting all his possible materials and treasures before both Berserker walks toward their master for a word.

    "Master. This Peon says he hate to run, because if he ran, the Goblin will hit him until he going to die.", Victor says.

    "Master. This Peon Say he hate to run, Because if human caught, he will die.", Vector says as well, almost a repeating the same words.

    If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

    "Master. Peon says He can work. He doesn''t want to die.", this time, both of the berserker say the same thing.

    "if in that case, allows him to enter the Spatial Realm. I will bring him materials to work. You both will take care of him. If he doesn''t work, he can''t eat. Is that understandable ?", Altima gives them an option.

    With the deal is taken, Altima''s Spatial Realm finally have one more additional Member, whom he later name the peon Gunther. Upon inspection, Altima notice that due to largely obtained experience from especially working with one kind of profession, Gunther have a different Genetics compared to the others. His Essence undulation is more towards Yang Energy, which only mainly available to those who work as Slave or Smith within the cave.

    Later in that day, Altima proceeds down towards the shaft, slowly descending towards the Sublevels and entered a dozen of different rooms. In each room, it was either an Ore Zone or sometimes it a Coal Deposit, which totally allowed Altima to quickly fill each category of the item into an enormous amount. Perhaps it was due to the Goblins are used to utilizing a different approach in producing their Fire through Gathering Large resources of Iron Wood, which is the best but dirtiest Material to create a coal fire. Due to this reason, the Goblins Dump a large number of Coal away into the Ore Pass, where all the unused material is dumped.

    Perhaps it was due to the Ore Pass is slightly full, or maybe due to the mining is incomplete yet, so the coal still remains in the Coal deposit. Proceeding deeper into the mine, Altima finally reaches a place they call Main Level, which is at least Excavated and supported with a large number of pillars, reaching a size of 10 Storey height building. With a Central Stairs which connect each floor side by side, there is an access shaft as well, Connecting each of the floors towards its upper or lower floor.

    Meanwhile in the center of the Main Level, A huge Modern mechanical machine, seems like a charging port or perhaps a reactor with Coal and Processed Metal Material as their medium, is thrown within the opening into the port so the Reactor like the machine could process it. Beside the Reactor, there is 3 Different Goblin, Whom from the look of it, they seem at least in a Chieftain Level or a King Level Goblins.

    Altima sneakily moves along the connecting shaft towards the lower floor and thus exploring one level below the one he previously came out from. Traveling quick and ruthless, Altima quickly disposed of a huge number of Goblins before he went around, collecting all available material along his way. Only by based on the total Goblin Hide is kept within the inventory, Altima believed himself that within this exploration, He should have killed another 400 Goblin Warriors and 10 Goblin Archer at least. While In between one of the Floor, one item attracts Altima''s Attention.

    This box, which seems like the leftover from the previous resident who resides within this Mine. Is immediately kept into the inventory, along with all the tools available within the Old Shelf. Altima continues his venture until his today result to reach a tiring but luxurious results. Quietly sneaking away again, Altima quickly leaves the Mine before any commotion is happening within the cave. And at the same time, Altima Thorough scanning is successfully scanned for its second time.

 Chapter 32 - Lost Recipes & Forbidden Techniques!

    With the Item check, condition checked and surrounding is safe, Altima quickly returns to the Village once again, and notice that the villagers are getting laxer and less guarded. Part of the reason is due to the reduced of Goblins within the mines, where all the Miners and Hunters are able to hunt for their living without too much problem, but one other issue arises from another side. Where in the Peak Mountain of Snow Beast Tribe, a Few Snow Beast recently ventured down from their mountain, and slaughtered a large number of Beakhead Vultures.

    With the news spread as a notice for nearby Village and town to be more careful and doesn''t step into their Vicinity, some hunters who are overconfident always cross the minuscule line, where sometimes, a disaster could happen and cause a village to be totally decimated from offending the Snow Beast. Rumors to be heard, The Snow Beast all possess a might of 1st Stage of Master Practitioner Stage at least, and for the older Beast, their Cultivation could reach the 6th stage to 7th stage at least.

    In the same time, the Beakhead Vultures are not weak as well. With their strength in Numbers, the Vultures manage to maintain where they are now, although only possessing a strength around 8th to 9th Stage of Warrior Practitioner Strength. This is due to the number of Beakhead Vultures always exceed at least 500,000 Each nest, and added with their high capability to Breed and grow, hunters of Master Practitioner often dispatched to clear this swarm of monsters all the time to control the population from growing.

    In the Great Southern History, it is been reported before where Once upon a time, there exist a Huge Nest of Mutated Beakhead Vulture, which each of them possesses at least the strength of a Spiritual Practitioner. It took the Continent cultivators, hunters and sacrifice a total of at least 2,000,000 cultivators of all Strength, to Completely destroy this pack of the beast, which have an amount of around 50 Million Vulture flying and breeding around. And this task cost the continent four years to complete.

    Returning to his Room, Altima quickly checks on his item within the box.

    Ancient Tools of Extinct Dwarven Tribe

    Usage: Increase Efficiency of Interface by 10%

    With this four treasure obtained from the Demonic Goblin Mines, Altima quickly utilizes the Ancient Tools of Extinct Dwarven Tribe, increasing a total of 10% efficiency from the interface before he went into the Resources Spatial Realm. Within the realm, Altima withdraws a total of 2,000 Unprocessed Ore of Arsalite and Hand it over to Gunther. Trying to provide some coal for Gunther to create a Furnace from his skills, Gunther rejects politely, stating that he have a better way of producing the Ingots. Trusting his people is important, thus Altima allows Gunther to Process the Ore without any restriction except keeping the Realm as how it should be.

    Meanwhile for Victor, the mandrakes that kept within his Stash is out from the place currently, where through using the Mandrake as the Feed to allows the Dried Bitter Bark Tree''s Worm to consume, the Worm currently is bearing a look of about a Mice Size figure, with some silk lookalike strings wrapping its body loosely.

    Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

    "String, Make ball, Very good for Goblin.", Victor says. And true to his word, The Dried Bitter Bark Tree''s Worm actually produce a special String made from their concentrated Bodily fluid, which could be melted to made a Special medicinal Ingredient called Bitter Mandrake Essence. Eventually, Altima receive a total of 5 unprocessed Strings of Bitter Bark Tree''s Worm, because Victor has no knowledge on how to Process it. Perhaps eating will be easier for him.

    Next, Is Vector, who seen repeatedly grinding and spreading a powder on top of the Cocoon of Scarlet Bitter Grass Worm. Scarlet Bitter Grass worm are one specialize Medicinal Ingredient, where instead of growing on soil or parasitic on a trees or plants, They grow from a hatched Worm. Upon maturity of the Scarlet Bitter Grass Moth, the Moth will keep on laying eggs which came in a quantity of 5 to 50 each day. Upon the Maturity of the Scarlet Bitter Grass, the moth will die, leaving only the eggs behind. Unfortunately, the successful breeding is low, thus not all Egg manage to be birthed and feed into a Cocoon before they are repeated with the same cycle over and over again.

    From Vector''s Hand, he currently manages to produce 2 Scarlet Bitter Grass, which required some processing before they become the Scarlet Bitter Grass Extract. Through this two ingredient, Altima knows what is the initial product that available to be harvest and made in his Concoction practice.

    "This is the primary ingredient I heard from Elder Alchemy, which is essential to create a Special Type of Pill which Increases the possibility of Ascension."

    Zen Migration Golden Tablet (Zen Cultivation Ascension Tablet)

    Ingredient: (1,000) Scarlet Bitter Grass Extract / (1,000) Bitter Mandrake Essence / And Many more.

    Depositing another 22 Piece of the Demonite Stone on the Drilling Plants, Altima left his Resources realm and enter his plantation realm, to complete the first harvest once again, after the first two days which gather him a total of 1,900 Young Beanstalks. After the first round of harvest amounted to 700, Altima returns to his own room again, accompanied by Mobi, Altima awarded himself with a good rest, looking forward to the next day.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Meanwhile, in the Wu Di Royal Family Castle.

    "Brother Yang! I''ve heard that you recently know a potential young Concocting Practitioner from the Central Southern.", A child age 12, Speaks with Yang Wu Di. Based on the features and the similarity, it''s the one who are expected to be on the throne upon his maturity. This Child''s Name is Nan Fang Wu Di.(Undefeatable South)

    "Little Nan, where is your cultivation stops now ?", Yang asked his little brother, checking on his cultivation and making sure he doesn''t go lazy on his cultivation.

    "Brother, I''m at the 8th Stage of Warrior Practitioner now, Soon to reach 9th Stage.", Nan says with a cheerful attitude, as if breaking through the next stage have no challenges towards him.

    "Nan, Listen to Brother, do not neglect your practice, this continent will have a very big incident coming soon. By that time, Only yourself can save you when danger arise, remember!", Yang Lecture Nan with a stern and Strict facial expression.

    Soon, A Tall and Big Man, with a series of Armour all around his body, came out from the tower and immediately leap towards the direction where both of the Wu Di brothers is idling chatting.

    "Shockwave of Yang Essence!", The Ground immediately vibrates, leading people surrounding stunned and disturbed by their next action.

    "How am I to expect for having both weaklings as child ?", this person is the father as well as the leader of the current Wu Di Royal Family Head. "Zhan Wu Di".

 Chapter 33 - Berserker Blood Parasite!

    With the Sunlight Shines from the east, Altima awakes, after being disturbed by the Mental Image Transfer Stone, which keeps it shine on the Ancient Magical array drawing to indicates itself. With a slight transfer of Yang Essence Energy within, Altima quickly received the message in the transfer.

    "Second Rank - 1st Stage Member of the Guild, Altima El Mist, You are humbly invited to re-participate in this upcoming Big Hunt Event which will be going on in another 16 days. Please report before the Entering Started."

    "Seems like the second big hunt is ongoing this time, how quick the time pass, I already Joined this guild for more than half year.", Altima says, and quickly proceed back to the Hundred Miles Town, but not before he pay a visit to his parents on the outskirt of the town, and later the Universal Material Agency, before he enters the Guild building. Along his way, Altima went into his Agency, just to received a total of 50,000 Units of Young Beanstalk, 25,000 Units of the Stem of Powder Flower.

    In return, Altima replaces their budget with a total of 25,000 units of Balancing Zen Pill, which will be used to repurchase more ingredients for Altima future Concocting. Within the Guild, the situation looks better compared to last half a month. During the recovering time, Many members are required to return for the guild reconstruction, but as the construction process goes ahead, More expansion could be seen, as well could be proceeded. Due to this reason, the guild currently looks even bigger than it used to, due to certain new Masonry works had been applied during construction.

    With some initial greetings and Visiting his previous 10 Master Elder and Vice Guild Leader Wu Feng, Altima has a day of rest again within the guild, while planning for his next 15 days of journey and how to efficiently utilize them. Added with handling some of his Spatial Realm works, where his Resources Realm is currently on its 1,050 / 100,000 Activities point, due to the increased of members and plantations within, while unfortunately, it seems that Gunther''s Work does not provide any additional Points.

    Meanwhile, in the plantation spatial realm, Altima conclude his harvest with the 2nd gain of 750 Young Beanstalk and a 650 Young Beanstalk, totalling up to 1,400 Units of beanstalk is harvested. Next, in his list, Altima quickly had the Powder Flower Planted. Meanwhile, getting close to its target, The plantation requirement is currently at  95,440 / 100,000 Harvest.

    Concocting the Balancing Zen Pills, and Cultivate for a while, Altima decided to rest.

    The next morning, Altima quickly proceed towards the Forest of Thousand Insects and went straight towards the outer forest. With only one intention in mind, Altima charge towards the Forest and hunt for the previously seen Bloodlust Bear Beast. In his way, Altima run across a few Tiger Stripe Mantis, as well some pupae of Stinger Wasp, where he dispose them and harvest the material Easily.

    Very quickly, Altima reached the Zone where it is thoroughly marked by the Bloodlust Bear Beast couple. Exploring around and gathering the available resources scattered around, Altima quickly manage to fully harvest a total of 12 Adult Suckling Needle, which grows from the parasitic Suckling that resides on the tree, as well as a total of 10 Python Weed and Python Thick Stem which grows along the bed of Python Weed across the middle of the Bloodlust Bear Beast Nest. But weirdly, No sign of the bear recently resting remains within the nest.

    With such a Mammal Animalistic Beast, Their Nest should always be guarded, or only left for a short while which is during the time the bear couple hunts for their foods. Through looking at the nest, it should be at least 2 to 3 days the nest is abandoned.

    "Brother Mobi, can you run a quick Scan on the area, and check for any abnormality ?", Altima quickly had Mobi start scanning around their vicinity, while he himself Started to quickly cultivate, as the Yin and Yang Essence Energy contained around the nest is very densely packed. Showing a sign of nearing the door, Altima Yin, and Yang Essence started to flows without a usual sequence.

    Starting to lose his control over the Essence around him, Altima quickly Apply both Little Sun of Yang Essence Technique and consuming the Energy Yin Pill slowly, to maintain the balance of his Yin and Yang Essence absorption. But with the berserk undulation of Yin and Yang Essence, Altima slowly losing most of the control over absorption of the Yin and Yang Energy Essence. With the Control over the Essence is lost, Altima could only maintain himself clear and undisturbed by any form of mental attack, so he could decipher what is going on with his body.

    Quick enough, the number of Blood red Essence started to enter Altima''s body, causing his body to be Corrupted by the Red veins, which started to form typical crawling vines that immediately wrapped up all around Altima''s Vein and joints.

    "Shit! This is the Berserker Blood parasite! Elder Alchemy says before, this type of parasite will slowly infect their host and take over their mind until the host is dead from over exhausting themselves from the rush of Bloodlust.", Altima immediately felt worried with his current condition now.

    This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

    "Altima, Quickly use the Zhen Wu Warrior Body to resist its advancement!", Mobi quickly had Altima tried his best to resist the bloodlust effect, while Altima started to get Daze and Hazy from all the rush of blood within his mind.

    "Argh!!!!", Altima tried his best to maintain the meditation on the Zhen Wu Warrior Body, unfortunately, the effort is still going to waste, as Altima finally run out of his consciousness. Lying on the floor unconscious for about 10 Minutes, the body finally moved up by himself, bearing a Red and Bloody eyesight.

    "Shit! Altima, Wake!! Wake up!!", Mobi tried his best to wake Altima up, but to no avail, the body move on its own accord, rushing towards the side of the outer forest. In between of its way, The Neo-Altima, which is proven to be berserker Blood Parasite Controlled, Slay his way through into the end of the outer forest and trying to enter the vicinity of Middle forest.

    As the Tiger Stripe Mantis and even Stinger Wasp are not the Neo-Altima''s match, the Outer forest decided to send some strong Opponent to face Neo''s Arrival.

    A Ranked top 10 within Outer Forest, Who manage to at least slain a number of Insect and beast before it becomes a Ranker within outer forest area.

    "Jade Scale Firebomb Beetle, Firestrom."

    With the position of the 10th seat in within outer forest area, Firestrom had Kill countless of opponents before it manages to reign over this seat and control a total of 50,000 Insects and beast around. Achieving the strength of 6th Stage of Warrior Practitioner tier, Firestrom came with huge benefit during fighting due to his ability to resist any fire damage, as well as resistant to all Yang Essence Energy Ability.

    Without any sign of stopping, Neo''s rush heads on toward Firestrom, launching a series of Fist attack.

    "Lesser Yin Fist, Wu Di Long Fist Art!"

    Two same skill learned by Altima but used by Neo. With a destruction strength that manages to cause Firestrom to retreat, Firestrom immediately Spread its flame all around their surrounding, which entrap Neo within the Circle, unable to move anywhere else except deeper into the centre. But unexpectedly, Neo utilize a different type of Movement of Ghost Step, where literally allows Neo to move upward from their initial position, but instead of escaping from the flame, Neo is entering a deeper Rage mode. With a hop and ends the Movement of Ghost Steps, Neo quickly Launch a Continuous series of (Wu Di Long Fist) + (Lesser Yin Fist), where the effectiveness is on their maximum capability.

    Totally injuring Firestrom, it was caused to retreat from its initial position, before repeating the same Flame Blast towards Neo who is still falling down from the sky. But instead of moving aside escaping the Flame, Neo utilize the Wheel of Tai JI, casting it on both hand and head, thus creating a triple Layered Sphere made from Wheel of Tai JI. With such way of utilizing Altima''s Martial Art, Neo manages to land unscratched, but instead, Giving Firestrom a shock for life.

    "How strong could this human be ?". Firestrom hesitates but Continue with his Flame Ball once he escapes from the trance. Fighting a stalemate battle, Firestrom starting to felt slightly lost. This human was only in his 3rd Stage of Warrior Practitioner, yet manage to utilize such method of fighting along the way, and easily destroyed his skill, challenge his experience and pushing him into such position. Angered with how its brain starting to think, Firestrom finally gives up on battling equally.

    With both of its carapace hiding its wing is opened, Firestrom immediately releases a series of Gases, came with 3 different colours, The gases started to enclose the area 100 Metres from their initial position, and With each screech of sound made by Firestrom, The Gases cause a controlled explosion, which caught Neo unaware with the cause. Tied in such situation, Neo only could make his move by running and escaping around the perimeters, but unfortunately, with  the whole Circle is densely covered with the gases, Neo had nowhere to run.

    Neo immediately had the Wheel of Tai JI covered himself in sphere mode without stopping, while keep on repeating the step again and again. Meanwhile, for Firestrom, the gases explosion had been done without stopping, causing even the surrounding trees and shrubs are totally burnt and blasting into crisps and dust. After going through such an ordeal, both side finally exhausted from their initial intention, instead, awareness sprouted from both side, and Neo started to have difficulties in maintaining its berserk status on Altima''s body.

    Without hesitation, Instead of Continue fighting, Firestrom actually choose to run away from the fight, leaving only Neo alone within the crater which created from the explosion they made. While Neo, who struggling from losing the control, started to fight against the owner of the body, and at the same time is fighting with Mobi, who hanging within the wrist as well.

    As Mobi seen fit, he immediately charges toward Altima''s Head, and totally envelope Altima Whole body and run a scan and recover program on Altima''s body.

 Chapter 34 - Breaking Through 3rd Door! and Lizard Hunting ?

    After being unconscious for about half a day, Altima finally appeared out from the Pool of water, which formed from the rain gathering together into the Crater.

    "Brother, How long had I gone unconscious ?", Altima quickly checks on his current condition. Where apart from the external injuries due to the explosion and clash between two sides are fighting, some heavy Flame injuries are seen in between larger exposed area such as back, Shoulder, and belly abdominal area.

    "About 12 hours, although your cultivation increased by a large gap, you are currently infected by the Parasite within your body. This Berserker Blood Parasite are really one serious trouble. I tried almost whole 12 hours trying to remove it, only to be rejected from taking any action, although you won''t have any side effect from him being a parasite in your body, This guy feeds on one Mental Strength. The more you felt Excited, Anger, Anxious, or Afraid, the fuller the parasite will be fed, thus growing more and more attached to its host."

    "Imagine due to you being too hurried in cultivating for a revenge, this kind of condition will help the Parasite to grow more and more, until one day, the host will be taken under full controlled, and be a killing machine just solely used to revenge and do what it''s fed on.", Mobi continued, but in the same time, he was searching nonstop for the details within his library of data, for a solution to cure Altima of this problematic Parasite.

    "Brother, if in that case, let us continue some hunting around before I proceed back to participate in the Big Hunt again. Perhaps we can get some solution within the Big Hunt as well.", Altima tried to not worried about this issue too much, due to being betrayed and face a death before, Altima had learned how to steeled his heart, and not acting recklessly due to a certain incident.

    With haste, the pair of brother finally place their worries aside, and quickly harvest and hunt for all the available materials and Insects or beast within Altima''s ability within the final 13 days. Throughout this 13 days, the gain was huge, where Altima manage to Quickly absorb enough Yin and Yang Essence to Breakthrough the 3rd Door, which increase his Essence Capacity to around 6,000 from the initial 4,000 previously when he is still with his 2nd Door opened.

    Other than the Essence Absorption Door is opened, Altima manages to hunt 4 Stronger Tiger Stripe Mantis, where each of their strength is matchable to a 4th Stage Warrior Practitioner of Zen Tier. With everything is over, Altima proceeds on his way back to the guild, where he quickly had all the item in the inventory rearranged, Processed, as required. Exchanging a total of 5,000 worth of Crystal bead with the Trade and Exchange department, Altima quickly transfers all the total of Item he has in Inventory into the Essence Resources Spatial Realm.

    Within the 5,000 Worth of Crystal Beads, Altima exchange a few stacks of Material, such as Sturdy Iron Boards, Nails, Planks, Working Bench, Furnace, Kiln, and many more other tools and Item Chest and Shelf. With Victor, Vector, and Gunther, Altima quickly had them build up a workshop, and ready to craft and refine all the available materials. In the same time, Altima Rearrange the Item Gunther refined into a personal Chest, where he would withdraw if required.

    After some arrangement, Altima Finalize his total ingredient kept within the Material Chest to be a total of 100 Giant Ant Mandible, Firm Jaw, and 200 Abdominal Scale. Meanwhile, for the Tiger Stripe Mantis Wing, Altima manage to procure a total of 50 units, 25 Mantis Scales, and 680 total of Mantis Teeth.

    With all this task is completely done, Altima quickly withdraws himself from the spatial realm, with a report of 98,950 / 100,000 on the plantation spatial realm, and also 4,050 / 100,000 from the resources Realm. With this 2 realm working out itself quite well, Altima could venture into the Big Hunt this time with peace. Very quickly, the Day for the starting off Big Hunt is here, where Altima is grouped together with the Second Rank - Guild members.

    Repeating almost the same speech as previous big hunt, Wu Feng finally starts the Event, where a total of 4,100 members in the guild is transferred into the Spatial realm. Within seconds, Altima finally reappeared within a vast grassland, where the Lizards are very easily found on the land where an eye could see. Without even allowing Altima to make a movement, the Lizards, which well known as the Yin Poison Fanged Lizard.

    Yin Poison Fanged Lizard - Yin Essence Cultured Lizard Beast

    Traits: Poisonous Fang and strong Lizard Scales, Good in attacking in sequence to ensure the death of their targets.

    Threat Level: 2nd Stage of Warrior Practitioner of Zen

    Within the random schools of Yin Poison Fanged Lizard, Altima quickly had his Wheel of Tai JI ready to attack and defend anytime, while exploring around looking for the available way to get out from this situation. With an attack from around 3 to 4 Lizards each time, Altima spend no less in his effort and attention, due to the wariness on affected by the Yin Poison. In the World of Cultivators, there exist a few different type of Poison which fatal and deadly to them, in which one of them is the Yin Poison or Yang Poison.

    Yin Poison destroys a cultivator''s Root within, Slowly weaken them through disabling a cultivator to absorb essence, and losing their calmness by corroding a cultivator''s mind while the Yang Poison destroys a cultivator body from outside. Inflicted with damages which slowly burn and corrode the body of a cultivator, the Yang Poison could quickly cause a cultivator to lost their strength and life force, thus destroying them before the solution could be found.

    In the world of Rumanian, There exist a hundred types of Medicinal Pills which could detoxify the poison, but a cultivator need to be cautious as there is at least a 10,000 different combination of Yin and Yang Poison, and not all of it curable at the moment with the current available medicinal recipe. If in case a cultivator is inflicted with a rare type of Yin and Yang Combination poison, the cultivator is likely expected to heading to death without chances to find a cure.

    Quickly and calm, Altima disposes of almost 2 Packs of the Lizards which scattered around the Grassland. Cleanly dispose them and harvest all the available resources, such as the Lizard Hide, Scales, Poison Fang, Meat, Demonite Stone, Blood and one special drop from them, which is the Lizard''s Guts. In this first meeting, Altima manages to totally harvest a total of 30 Lizards from their encounter.

    Taking a short 1-hour rest, Altima continued with his journey and expecting a quick scan to be complete within another 2 hours, where once this scan is completed, Altima will venture to its core location, or travel to other parts to look for other resources. Due to this Vast Greenland is only filled with Green Root Grass, which have non-medicinal value but only as a soil fattener, Altima currently will have no use to harvest any of it.

    But thanks to this grass, The land surrounding this area all are not suitable for any trees to grow, thus allowing the Lizards to flourish within this area due to the open area which is well sunbathed with Yang Essence, Yin essence, as well as opened space which allows them to breed without any controls. A female Lizard can lay a total of 30 to 50 Eggs in her whole life cycle, but added with a total of 3/4 total population of the lizards are usually female, the number of lizards could grow each big hunt will vary, depend on how much their population is reduced before the entrance is closed.

    Without wasting any time, Altima quickly gets close to more and more lizards and easily dispose of all these 2nd Stage Warrior Practitioner opponents before he proceeds to hunt for different ingredients. After all, they will be within this spatial realm for a total of 32 days, or half a month, so time is aplenty for Altima to slowly venture a different Zone one after another. And at the same time, Altima does not wish to stumble across the Goatsmen Tribe like the previous Big Hunt casualties.

    After successfully finishing the Last pack of Lizards around 500 meters from Altima''s initial position, The basic scanning system is complete. With a total Kills of another 130 Lizards, Altima cleared a small area within the grassland, as well as manage to obtain additional rewards as well from salvaging the nest left by the Lizards after its slain by Altima. From the 2 different nest which Altima had it searched, and found out a total of 4 Lizard''s unhatched Eggs and 2 pieces of Yin Poison Fanged Lizard''s Core.

    "With this core, it is possible for me to Grow my own Yin Poison Fanged Lizard and further mutating them!", Altima is delighted with his success in founding this treasure.

 Chapter 35 - Cleaning the Nest of Lizards!

    With the 2 Yin Poison Fanged Lizard''s Core within Altima''s Hand, Altima is quickly tempted to hunt for more of their nest, thoroughly search for any available cores hidden within. With the Lizard''s Temperament and behaviour, Altima believed that the core is most probably been used as a type of tributes, to pass towards their chief or elder to groom a new future Chief of the Lizards tribe, or maybe it was to be kept until their egg hatch, thus feeding the core to the best newborn lizard.

    But before Altima proceed with his temptation, he decided to awaits for his report, which will come in another minute.

    "Basic Scanning Complete!"

    Unexplored Valley of Lizards Tribes

    Total Diameter: 60 Acres.

    Total Inhabitant: 300,000 / Demonic Lizard Tribe , 100,000 / Demonic Vines Tribe

    Estimated Threat: 2,000 Elites Enemies Undulation Scanned

    Energy Undulation: 95% Yin Energy Concentration / 105% Yang Energy Concentration

    Resources: None.

    Immediately, Altima proceeds to continue his hunt on the Lizards and the nest they protecting. With such a new motivation, Altima diligently hunt for all the Lizards he can see, without allowing even one of them to manage to escape, Soon, a large area, which is about half an acre of land, had been thoroughly swept clean by Altima, totalling a number of 2,400 lizards into his Killing number.

    Throughout this half acre of land, Altima manage to found another 6 nest, where only 5 of it came with a Core, but only 2 of the next came along with 2 eggs, which total up into 5 Core and 4 Different eggs went into his inventory. Ending the first day of the Great hunt, Altima starts his Cultivation and Essence Absorption to try his 4th door opening. With the balanced Essence Concentration within this land, Altima manage to create a highly stable cultivation, where the produced energy from his absorption actually creates a special Undulation of energy wave, where the surrounding air around Altima is slowly turning Red and Blue, representing the energy of Yin on his left and Yang on his right.

    Going along with the cultivation, Altima slowly produces two different Red and Blue orb, which contained a strong and thick energy of Yin and Yang, and both turning around the meditating Altima, until its slowly divided into many thin little tentacles that quickly absorbed into Altima body. Concentrating in assimilating all the energy within, Altima body quickly produce a reaction from the Energy resides within his body, where he is constantly sweating, and frozen into thin ice, Melted, and Frozen, again and again, until Altima''s body started to mix both colours together, forming a Liang YI(The manifested Opposing Forces/TAI JI), where the essence is quickly absorbed and digested.

    Opening his eyes, Altima tried release his Essence Energy force, while maintaining a Little Sun of Yang with his Right Hand, where the force from the Yang Essence actually strong enough to burn the grass along his meditating seat until a circle of 10 Metre is thoroughly burnt by the Heat from the Little Sun of Yang. Unfortunately, Altima possesses none of the Yin Essence Skill, so he couldn''t try out on how strong is his Yin Energy attack is. But one thing for sure, Altima Essence Energy had reached a ridiculously Pure and thick stage, where it''s easily manifest the destruction strength of the essence.

    Taking the remaining hour to rest, Altima manage to obtain a total of 6-hour rest until he is disturbed by a voice of hissing and walking from far away. Opening his eyes, Altima notices a total of about 200 Yin Poison Fanged Lizard is on their way onward to his position. Based on how the group of Lizard is walking and proceeding, it is easy to be deduced as the Vanguard team from the king itself, to search for the remaining survivor or perhaps coming over to try to mend the trouble happened within their land.

    From the look of how the group is walking, It was lead by a special Ranked lizard, which has the ability to walk with only its two legs on the back, while it front limb is holding a spear-like a weapon. Its body are slightly bigger than normal lizard, while with a different scales located along its back, this walking lizard seems smarter on its look, and the energy undulation flows around this lizard are slightly stronger towards the Yang Essence Energy instead.

    Preparing to retreat from his initial position, Altima quickly escape towards the opposite side from where the Lizards group is walking from, before he makes a hard turn and makes a bow edge movement, heading directly towards the middle of the lizard group as they walk pass where Altima pass before. Some Lizards notice a scent came from afar, but due to the lizards are not in the Main searching team, no attention is given too much towards this random scent within the air.

    Only by noticing the Back of the Group is under attack, the lizards finally stop their advance and began to get disorder due to missing leadership at the back of the group. Quickly and ruthlessly, Altima kills off the Lizards all along the way towards the front of the vanguards side, only through utilizing the Lesser Yang and Lesser Yin Fist, Altima manage to kill the lizards easily as if breaking apart a soft beancurd which can''t even handle his fist softly.

    Without any compassion feeling is required, Altima quickly dispose at least 150 of the Lizards, before the remaining 40 ran away without bothering about their other teammates, while 9 slightly different Lizard is not leaving because they are not taunted and intimidate by the strength shown by Altima, including the leader, a total of 10 opponents is standing in front of Altima, readying to attack whenever the order is given.

    Quickly, the standing lizard commanded the other proceed toward where Altima is standing, and quickly tried to dispose of Altima before they are killed. In the Hierarch of the Lizards, the higher the grade of one beast compares to the others, will be landing them with rights to waste the other tribe mates life without any reasoning, which is why no one among the 9 lizards dares to disobey.

    Fighting with only slightly stronger Lizards, Altima face no difficulties, where he easily Dispose the first 2 Lizards with a twin (Lesser Yin and Lesser Yang Fist) from both side of his hand, and next on the list, Altima throws a (Little Sun of Yang Essence), whereby making it explode halfway, 4 Lizards are caught in between the explosion, causing them to died almost instantly upon blasted by the small but heavy explosions in the middle of the crowd. Leaving only 3 more Lizards behind, Altima quickly had his (Dragon Raging Claw) strikes directly towards the Bronchus of the lizard, before pulling it out like uprooting a weed, and next laying a strong (Wu Di Long Fist Art), Taking two Lizards life at once.

    With the Last and final Lizard is within the Sight, Altima quickly lunges himself towards the lizard, and taking a careful stance against its spear, while preparing his own (Wheel of Tai JI) in secret. Within his expectation, Altima is quickly greeted with a stab of spear directly towards his head, where he immediately evaded and grab on the spear, before he makes a summersault downwards to the bottom right of the lizard.

    The Lizard move almost expectedly, in which when Altima manage to grab its tail, the back tip of the spear immediately stab backwards, almost hitting Altima on its first tries. With his attack is cancelled by the stab of spear, Altima quickly move two step backwards, before throwing out a (Little Sun of Yang Essence), which immediately cause the Lizard to howl a little and jump backwards immediately, but expecting its action, Altima had already waited for the Lizard to retreat to this location before the (Massive Essence Explosive Fist) hit its target.

    Being sent directly towards the front and tumbling for few times before stop, Altima had himself ready for a next continuous hit once the lizard stands back on its two feet. Accurately expected, the Lizard stands without any precaution from a continuous attack, it receives a direct (Zhen Wu Iron Palm Shakes the Earth) and had all its blood totally spit out from the jaw, and left dead immediately. Moving closer to the Corpse, Altima had Mobi run an image and target scan, just to realize that this lizard belongs to another different Tribe.

    Traits: Strong Defence on the back of the Scales, Born with natural leadership to commands the other Lizards Tribe.

    Threat Level: Stage 5 of Warrior Practitioner of Zen

    Harvesting all the available materials from the dead carcasses, Altima increase his pace, and quickly take hit hunt directly up towards the north from his current position, while slowly making some Sign on the Grass patch by burning the ground using the (Little Sun of Yang Essence) to burn a large section of the patch. With the regrowth ability of this grass is high enough, about a 3 days to 5 days would be required to totally regrow all the grass back and totally covered the ground again.

 Chapter 36 - March! The Hunter is Hunted!

    While all the thing is going well with Altima, He is currently in the middle of cultivating for a short while before he returns to his same workloads one again. After taking a short rest for an hour again, Altima intends to go for another hunt on the lizards once again, until he receives a few prompt messages from the interface. After painstakingly waiting for the results to came out, Altima finally succeeds in making all his Martial Arts reach its 5th time in Refining, which is available to upgrade at the moment.

    Thinking back about what happened previously, Altima faced with a hard and tough condition, where he was too preoccupied with all the task in hand, leaving him no action points to be utilized on the Martial Art Refining. But Currently, upon checked, Altima skill had become totally one more stage above other basic cultivators, where they have no mean way to increase their martial arts except having blessed by the Gods and Universal Slime.

Added with a special execution skill, this skill will have the possibility to challenge even the Master Practitioner Tier without any difficulties. Next came one of the skills which becomes an envy to others practitioner if they have the chances to look within.

    With a sheer of luck, Altima manages to have the luck on successfully upgraded his 5 Stage Zhen Wu Warrior Body Technique into a stronger 4 Stage of Zhen Wu Golden Bell Technique. Containing a similar of almost a total of 15% from the Shaolin Temple Martial Art knowledge, This technique is Altima first Master Practitioner Master of zen Martial Arts, which increase the body condition even better than the Previous Zhen Wu Warrior Body.

    With this two Martial arts finally succeed to upgrade into their respective Stronger version of Martial Arts, Altima finally obtained a Master Practitioner Tier Martial Arts, as well as the Peak of Warrior Practitioner Stage Zhen Wu Mountain Destruction Fist. Upon this two martial arts had been upgraded, Altima quickly practice the martial art for half a day, so he could master the efficiency during using and fighting, but unfortunately, The chances would come earlier than expected soon, whereby there is a total of 500 soldiers of Crystal Scale Lizard is travelling across the grassland, Heading down towards Altima direction, which is expected to reach in about another half a day.

    The next morning, where the coming storm of threat is still unknown to Altima yet, As usual, Altima proceed towards the northern direction, and keep on with his hunting along the way, perhaps it is a fortunate decision, Altima decided to change his direction, where he move towards the East direction for a total of 300 Metres before he continues his hunting Southward. Mopping down the Lizard population again, Altima, who had his Martial arts skill is raised into an extremely strong level if compared with an opponent around his strength, dispose the Lizard and harvest the carcasses faster than handling his own medicine concoction.

    Running down along the way, Altima finally stopped from his second-day harvest, With another 3,200 Lizard is killed and harvested, Altima effort came along with an additional total of 12 Yin Poison Lizard Eggs from a total of 8 Nest, and a total of 5 more Yin Poison Fanged Lizard''s Core. Repeating the same process like the previous day, Altima quickly Cultivate and Absorb the nearest Yin and Yang Energy Essence from his surrounding again, to temper and absorb so he could increase his cultivation into higher limits.

    But, in the middle of the cultivation, Altima is thoroughly disturbed by a commotion which could be heard from far.

    "Stupid Brother, Quickly Run!", Mobi suddenly awake and tighten its grip on Altima Wrist, giving him a nudge as well.

    Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.

    "What''s Wrong, Brother ?", Altima, whom still in the middle of finishing his remaining essence which yet to be absorbed.

    "In my rough guess, this is most probably the Crystal Scale Lizardman which we saw one yesterday.", Mobi Replied.

    "Which means, they are here to hunt us ?". Altima finally ends his cultivation and stand up while looking at the Crystal Scale Lizardman which taking the lead, with a torch in his hand which seems to be lighted without a sign to diminish.

    "Anyway, Let us escape first, the number that shown in the radar is about 400+, I wouldn''t feel shocked if you say there are more behind them that coming with keys ?", Mobi quickly says and gone back to the wrist like a bangle.

    With haste, Altima quickly left his current position, and make a way directly towards the northern direction, as the area had been already swiping clean by Altima during the day. 15 minutes later after Altima had left, the group of fastest Crystal Scale Lizardman finally reach the location, angered with the hide and chase game initiated by Altima again and again. With a howl, the Lizardman immediately make haste, chasing directly towards the northern while exhausting all their stamina.

    With the Run and Chase game been going on for around one hour, where Altima about to reach the border end of where he started the east turn, Altima decided to face the Lizardman directly now. After thinning their numbers, causing the Lizardman forced to split their forces to openly cover the range where Altima could run, the group of Lizardman currently is divided into a force of 10 Lizardman each, scattered across the line of 400 Metres West and 400 Metres East.

    Making a quick 180 Degrees turnaround, Altima Rush head on directly until he saw the 10 exhausted Lizardman which walking slightly slow compared to how Altima saw before. By applying the (Wheel of Tai JI) on his left and (Little Sun of Yang Essence) on his right, Altima quickly scan for the surrounding, making sure no other parties will be managed to make a sneak attack on him, and charge directly towards the Lizardman.

    "HUMAN!!!", the front must Lizardman quickly howled and hissed.

    But before it could utter another word, Altima''s (Little Sun of Yang Essence) directly forced to enter the widely open Jaw of the Lizardman, thus burning the Lizardman directly until it''s out of life force.

    "Human!!!", the other Lizardman started to howl the same works and started their attack towards Altima.

    But with the advantages of weapon, Altima, who excel in Close Quarter combat, quickly take himself into the centre position among the Lizardman group, while Applying the (Four Symbol of Si Xiang Fist). Very Quickly, Altima, whom about 50% proficient in using this martial art, managed to outperform his own battle form, where With the Flexibility of the Azure Dragon Symbol, Altima manage to move towards the unprotected position within the Lizardman''s Rank, Thus attacking their weak point efficiently.

    Added with the Strong Defensive Strength given from the Black Tortoise, Altima could face the spear attack heads on while maintaining his advantage in the close body to weapon combat. Very quickly, Altima disposes of another two more of the Crystal Scales Lizardman, and then one more when it was mistakenly expecting Altima movement. With a series of (Wu Di Long Fist Art), Altima quickly dispose of that Lizardman, and heavily injured the one behind it as the Energy contained within that punch pierce through.

    Leaving aside the injured Lizardman, Altima currently still have to face a total of 5 Lizardman, before he could break through this wall and escape directly towards where he started. Arranging the Steps to use to soft palm Martial arts (Falling Leaves Soft Palm), Altima intends to control the 5 Lizardman toward his surrounding, where it was successfully initiated due to the aggressiveness of the Lizardman which tries to quickly dispose of him.

    Very soon, Altima disposes of the final 5 Lizardman with a few strikes from his (Wheel of Tai JI), as well as the (Dragon Raging Claw). Walking slowly towards the final Injured Lizardman, Altima tried to kept this Lizardman within his realm, but failed to do so, since, in this case, Altima can only kill it instead of leaving it staying alive. Quickly harvest all the material within the 10 Dead corpse, Altima quickly heads toward the southern once again, escaping and tried to leave this Area as soon as possible.

 Chapter 37 - Return to Marsh of Blood Suckling!

    As Altima continued with his escape, he continues it with a Zig Zag formation, where he slowly hunted for the remaining Yin Poison Fanged Lizards before he reaches the border of the Grassland. Hesitant for a short while, Altima decided to turn around, and explore the surrounding border of the Valley of Lizards Tribe, and quickly dispose of a large number of Lizards scattered around the area. And with some evidently remains, Altima notice some special differences between the Lizards which resides within the deeper area and the outer area.

    Outside of the Valley , where the lizards are residing closer towards the Marsh of Blood Suckling, all of them have a bigger and sturdier body compare to the deeper area within the valley. Although the cultivation remains the same, but if given the chances, perhaps this food source for the Lizards could make them mutated into a slightly better type of Lizards.

    Immediately, Altima Proceed towards the marsh, and quickly hunt for the Blood Suckling, Thoroughly process them before he went back into the Lizards area, and scattered the meat all around for the Lizards to eat. In the first half day, none of the changes is applied on any of the Lizards which eaten all the Blood Suckling Meats. But through this way, Altima manage to obtain a few additional Scarlet Red Pearls into his inventory as well.

    Very soon, As he waited for the next 2 days, Altima repeating almost all the hunting works he had been doing 2 days back, finally, a slight change in the group of lizard finally is noticeable through naked eyes. The Yin Poison Fanged Lizards started to grow significantly larger than other Lizards, as well as the stamina, agility and strength had gone up by at least one grade higher.

    Altima had one of them hunted down, and checked on its internal and externally , but notice no differences had changed towards their body, but slightly stronger Undulation of Yang Energy started to appear within their Heart. Altima research more of them, thoroughly spend another total of 4 more days within the Border between the Valley of Lizards Tribe and Marsh of Blood Suckling. Running around, and Returning like an exile, Altima quickly gets used to his half week of practices using utmost attention towards checking his surrounding, and Hunting efficiently.

    During the night where he was cultivating, Altima learned how to thoroughly absorb the Essence around before he started to Absorb them in whole. In where, with such method, the Cultivation could be controlled and raise immediately, leaving a result of highly unexpected changes each moment during his cultivation. Throughout this half week of practice, Altima had close the gap between his 3rd Door and 4th Door, while his cultivation of 2nd stage of Warrior Practitioner is closing towards the 3rd Stage.

    Meanwhile, on the Lizards, Altima finally finish researching his hypothesis, where if the Lizards which is based on Yin essence Energy is suddenly fed with materials or ingredients with strong Yang Essence Energy, will thoroughly generate their overall body features, strength and muscle developments. Bigger changes will also include how their bloodline will change, where resulting in a different type of mutation or offspring will be born. Only one unfortunate issue is applied on the Lizards which is with their egg laid after this changes, will remain infertile and couldn''t be hatched, due to the reptile based Beast required a strong Yin Energy to fertilize their eggs before hatched.

    With all these results came out after the 8th day, Altima finally decided to cleanly dispose all of the Lizards and Blood Suckling around the area, before he ventures into the Marsh of Blood Suckling and travels directly towards the Forest of Howling once again. In total of all this 6 additional days, after deducting the first 2 days within the deeper area inside the Valley, Altima had thoroughly hunted a total of 15,000 Yin Poison Fanged Lizard, as well as a total of 7,000 Blood Suckling, where resulting him with a total of 1,200 Scarlet Red Pearl as well as 2,100 Blood Suckling''s Meat remaining. Other than that, Altima manages to grab an additional 5 Lizard''s Egg, as well as a total of 8 Lizard''s Core before all this is cleared.

    In the same time, Altima''s Plantation Spatial Realm finally increase its Level, after a thoroughly 8 days of nonstop planting and harvesting on the Stem of Powder Flower. With a total harvest of 2,160 Units in the 8 day total, Altima finally manages to increase its level into Level 1, thus receiving a total of 200 Plot Square of Land, which required a 200,000 Harvest to reach its next level.

    First Spatial Realm - Realm of Plantation Level 1 (received during Mobi Level 2)

    Capacity : 200 Plot Square of Land: 1,110/200,000 Harvest Needed to Level Up

    On the Essence Resources Spatial Realm, Altima receives a total of 2,000 Activities Point throughout this 8 days, and unexpected from Gunther''s Skill, he actually manages to refine a special material using the Ingredient available from the Material Chest, which could be used to produce any relevant materials or Medicine if required. Without loitering around this area anymore, Altima quickly proceeds to pass the Marsh of Blood Suckling, before entering the Region of Forest of Howling. Within, the remains of dead bodies of the practitioner, bearing some tags and other carcasses is seen, which means a strong competition recently happens around this area.

    Taking precaution, Altima proceeds along his way carefully and spotted another 3 different Hidden Traps along his path, where he quickly disarm it and check on the workmanship. Although the quality is not as highly fine as Gunther, these traps are still usable to catch regular beast such as the Spike Back Wolf, or perhaps some other beast around the forest. Thinking about the Spike Back Wolf, Altima suddenly remembered about the two Wolf Cub, which on their adventure to grow during the time Altima visits his parents home.

    Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.

    Quick enough, Altima finally saw a body lying by the side of a huge tree which required at least 5 people to fully hug it, dead and apparently Mauled by some beast before left aside here rotten. Based on a number of maggots crawling within, Altima expects this corpse is dead for at least 4 days. The killer is most probably a beast, due to the spatial ring and other precious items such as medicinal pills, and ointments are all still within the clothes after the corpse being abandoned for so long.

    Salvaging the corpse and grabbing his tags, Altima quickly proceeds carefully into the direction where the Graveyard of the Bones is located. Quickly pass through the forest and entered the Graveyard area, Altima conduct a simple scan, and explore around while looking for previously missing Tomb of King Baran. With the scanning is completed, Altima notice a few slight changes is on the Location itself.

    Energy Undulation: 122% Yin Energy Concentration / 1% Yang Energy Concentration / 77% Death Energy Concentration

    Threat to User: Normal Low

    With the report received by Altima, within the next step, a bunch of Skeletal Armoured Soldier quickly rise from the ground, where each of the soldiers has a weird looking parasitic bug crawling and screeching within its ribcage, where an orb of Black Coloured Yin Essence is deeply concentrated. Upon further target inspection, the results from the Scanner shock Altima totally.

    Skeletal Armoured Soldier infested with Parasitic Yin Jade Centipede.- Parasite Infested Death Energy Demonic Skeleton

    Traits: Immune to all Physical and Internal Martial Arts. Only Yang Essence Energy Attack is effective against this Soldier.

    Threat Level: Stage 3 Warrior Practitioner of Zen Tier

    With his feeling like striking a gold tree, Altima stops controlling himself, and directly charge towards the group of 20 Skeletal Armoured Soldier, and quickly focus on his (Little Sun of Yang Essence Technique). Thoroughly burn and destroy its counterpart, Altima reduces the whole group within a 10 Minutes of Fighting. Feeling that he strikes a gold mine, Altima quickly proceeds into the deeper part, looking for the remaining balance of the Skeleton to hunt. But before that, Altima had the Dead remains harvested. 20 Units of the Bone of Dead Energy Essence, 20 Yin Jade Centipede, 20 Exhausted Yin Orb, and lastly, 20 stacks of Rusted Skeleton Armour.

    Proceeding deeper into the Graveyard, Altima kills the Skeletal Armoured Soldier without any remorse. Without noticing the changes, Altima had already spent about 12 hours clearing the crowd of Skeletal Armoured Soldier without stopping, while the numbers are still steadily growing. The later the night is passing, the more and more Skeletal Armoured Soldier started to appear from the ground, quickly infested the whole graveyard area into an Undead Zone where skeleton roams around without a single walking space could be found.

    Getting more and more pressured, Altima quickly creates an opening along the way, trying to get a path to direct himself towards the forest of Howling before he gets a rest. With the hour getting even late and later, Altima started to felt some exhaustion stressed onto his body, where his balanced of Yang Essence started to get Weaker than normal now. Even with a usual (Little Sun of Yang Technique), Altima Essence power is practically 30% weaker than normal. Struggling harder and harder, Altima finally successfully break through the Enclosure created by the Skeletal Armoured Soldier and quickly escaped from its sight.

    Almost like an escapee running without stop, Altima finally falls down on the Marsh of Blood Suckling, taking a rest while keeping his Yang Essence Absorption priority. To his surprise, Altima actually failed to replenish all his Yang Essence Energy although all the remaining Yang Essence Energy around him had practically sucked Dry.

    "Now I guess I know why the 18 Essence Absorption Door is important for a Warrior Practitioner and needed to be opened each time a cultivator break through. Without sufficient Yin and Yang Essence Energy within one body, they will be restricted and most of the Martial Art which based on mainly Liang Yi(Manifested Opposing Forces). With oneself having none of the Essence Energy left within their storage, they will literally become a sitting duck, which waiting for people to come and kill them almost effortlessly.

    With the Yang Essence Energy is totally cleaned by Altima''s Absorption, he has no choice but to explore into another section, to continue his essence absorption. After moving from one spot to another almost for 5 times, disturbed by a plenty of Blood Suckling, Altima Finally refilled all his Yang Essence Energy, and ready to take his 9th-day rest. With the Moon and Sun exchanging its places, morning finally comes again, indicating the 10th day had arrived.

    Instead of being awake by the Beast or Blood Suckling which swims around looking for a prey, Altima, who protected by the Magical Tent Array he spread below the Ground below he sleeps, wake up and take a quick look at him and notice the Interface is blinking. Opening the Interface, Altima quickly enters the Blinking Essence Resources Realm.

 Chapter 38 - Breakthrough 4th Stage & Ancient Martial Hall!

    Immediately on the moment, Altima entered the Spatial Realm, a Strong undulation of Yang Energy is bursting forth from the Direction where the 11 Trees of Dragon''s Life Drilling Root is growing. Feeling that the Yang Essence Energy is getting out of control, Altima, Whom out of Yang Essence within his storage quickly meditates, and Absorb a large amount of Yang Essence which overflows from far away.

    After an hour of Absorption, The Yang Essence finally tone down and become less berserk as it does an hour ago. But as Altima getting Closely, Altima still sense a second burst of Yang Essence Energy will be coming soon, maybe in 30 Minutes. With this issue on hand, Altima quickly practice his (Little Sun of Yang Essence Technique) Thus Allowing Altima to produce a number of Energy Yang Pills. In the same time, perhaps it was lucky because all 3 action points are not under any usage at the moment, due to Altima had gone out of condition yesterday night.

    Immediately, Through Meditation, Altima had all the Yang Essence Energy processed and Refined, so they could be made into shiny little Energy Yang Pill. Hours and hours had passed, until about 7 hours had passed within the Spatial Realm. Going through the roughest work, Altima finally finishes producing and refine all the available Yang Essence into Energy Yang Pill, Thus receiving a total of 2,100 from the 3 Actions through an interface, as well as around 400 from Altima himself.

    And in the same time, Altima manage to Push his essence storage into its Peak, ready to burst open the 4th Door anytime from now. Without managing himself to rest, Altima quickly proceeds towards another side and getting closed to the Skeletal of Death Drilling Roots to quickly Absorb all the Yin Essence released from the plant as well.

    Another 5 hours had passed, while added with the quiet and serene surrounding within the Spatial Realm, the only voice can be heard within the Spatial Realm is only the crashing sound from the Hammer and Blasted flame cracking from far away. Soon, Another sharp Laser shooting voice came out from the section where the Skeletal of Death Drilling Roots is growing. A large Liang Yi Symbol appeared within the sky, indicating a huge energy of Yin Yang is gathering around under the symbol, which immediately, flourish the  Growth of the both Drilling Plants.

    "Ohh!! God Descend on Dragon Tree! Dragon Tree Rise more Dragon up the Sky!!", Victor, who guarding the (Dragon''s Life Drilling Roots), notice one of the Roots is growing in an extremely quick manner, and the roots, Leaves and the Top of the plants started to grow two long Stems, which looked like whiskers of a dragon.

    "Our God came, Now this place will be more danger.", Vector, who guarding the (Skeletal of Death Drilling Roots) is looking at the Skeleton shape body of the roots, where the shape is getting bigger and thicker until it started to look like a big piece of Elephant Spine Bones. With some flaky pieces of the bone started to fall off, very soon the Bone look like it was made with an Onyx Crystals, which looked like a piece of Big Crystal growing from a plant.

    Immediately, the Liang Yi quickly absorbed into a body of a human meditating in the middle, before the Tower of Light and Darkness shine towards the sky. After the tower of dual Light beam vanished, Altima, who stands up directly after all the disturbance is gone, had his strength Increased into the 4th Stage of Warrior Practitioner of Zen, where his 4th Essences Absorption Door is opened as well.

    With a storage capacity reaching around 8,600 Points of each essence, Altima is currently hungry for essence. Urging himself to control and not completely sucking dry the essence that stabilized within the realm, Altima quickly went over to handle his other things, before leaving realm and return for a rest in the outside world.

    On the next day, Altima, whom Finally reach his 4th Stage of Warrior practitioner of Zen, Immediately charge towards the Graveyard of Bones and place his inventory aside as that won''t be an important issue for him.

    Altima Currently has one target in mind.

    Search for the Failed Tomb of King Baran and the Abandoned Martial Hall.

    Day by day, Altima spend all his time nonstop exploring the Graveyard and almost completely explored One-third, which is around 6 Acres of land. Being almost performing like a warlord within this area, Altima kills all the targets he could have seen in his path, without leaving any skeleton or beast walking around freely.

    On the 8th day, which indicates the total of Altima is within this Spatial realm for 1 week, Altima finally found the entrance towards the Martial Hall. Hidden behind the piles of a bone mountain, about 8 acres away from the Marsh of Blood Suckling. Looking outside of the Entrance, Altima quickly has a minor scan on the location, to indicates any traps hidden within, but after loading for a moment, the report quickly appeared within the interface, stating there is no further data available within this Area.

    Taking up the challenges, Altima proceeds into the Entrance with caution and heading towards the central Hall. With himself standing directly in the middle of the Martial Hall, Altima quickly notices the Shining bright Yang Crystal, which is embedded along the Wall to create a path where it is brightly lit. Steadily walking along with the assistance of the Bright Yang Crystal, Altima quickly enters a smaller room, which seems to be a Library or some sorts, with not too much but about 20 Books within its leftover shelf.

    Stolen story; please report.

    Taking up the book, and seated on the Floor directly, Altima, who attracted to all knowledge regarding this Rumanian World. Quickly flip the book to read, where it comes with the Title (Knowledge of Mulan). Within this book, contained a written history of the Historian who used to Ruled over this land, which used to be called as Violet Flame Continent.

    Within the Violet Flame Continent, Exist a total of 5 Forces, the Violet Mountain Sect, The Violet Sea Sect, The Violet Earth Sect, And the Violet Sky Sect. The last one is the Violet Flame Family, which is the ruler of the Continent themselves. Reign over this land for almost eternity since starts until the time this book is written, The Family strength Flourish.

    Bearing the Strength of a Practitioner of Qi Tier, the family ruled over this land with peace and prosperity, Alchemy and cultivation are studied like daily knowledge, Hunting, and Martial Arts as an act of health and routine, Farming and others. This continent flourishes for almost eternity, until...

    That is where this book ends, and continued with the recipe within the next chapter, and later, the chapter and onwards, which came into light with ancient history of Cooking, Sewing, Refining, Smiting, Masonry, Weaponry, Alchemy, as well as how to create weapons and living tools which have high quality and keep worthiness.

    Within half a day within this room, Altima quickly finishes all the available books, before placing them within the spatial ring provided by the Guild. Moving on towards the next room, Altima run across another room full of books, where in this Room, the books are all related to how to master the technique of Creating a city, Creating a town, Creating a kingdom, Creating a life, Creating a magic, Creating a Martial arts, which immediately read by Altima before he continue, then lastly, a book about how to create a god.

    Moving on to the next room, Altima run into a room where only one egg remains within that Room full of High-quality Nesting Spot. Getting close towards the Nest, Altima checked on the incantation and traps. With him feeling safe after checking for the traps and tricks, Altima finally withdraws the egg from the nest and store it within his Inventory.

    Moving on towards the next room, Altima finally reaches the Rooms of Martial Arts. Where only 3 Shelf is seen within this large room.

    "Left Shelf of Life - This Shelf contained Martial arts which could be used to save one life, Heal one life as well as Create Life."

    "Right Shelf of Death - This Shelf contained Martial arts which could be used to destroy one life, eliminate one life as well as removing one life."

    "Middle Shelf of Manifesting - This shelf contained martial arts which neither heals nor take life away, and hanging in between of others."

    With 3 different magical array, Altima is tempted to choose the Left, due to the martial arts within might be helpful for him to remove this Berserker Blood Parasite. But the Right might works well with Altima too, due to the lack of strong Master Practitioner martial arts within Altima''s hand for now. Meanwhile, for the Middle Shelf, Altima aren''t too interested, but as he remembers what his master used to teach him, One cannot eliminate another, because although they are not together, but they can''t leave each other.

    Be it As pure as water or as hot as fire, as cold as Snow, or as wild as the wind. One always need another to live, with this 3 different mind in the profound of cultivation, Altima is struggling to make a decision which what shelf he would required to stands together for.

    But after a long time of consideration, Altima choose to step into the middle Manifesting circle. Since the Manifest of two Opposing Force is always within every person, Altima decided to trust his instinct, where if the Parasite intends to conquer him, he would learn how to reject this Conquering Action. If the people is dying, he would learn how to either send him to death earlier as there is no medicine, or heal him through using his own Life side of Force.

    With all this Decision making is completed, Altima walk With Firm and steady steps, where he immediately enter the Array and receive an enlighten into his head.

    "Since I am following the path of Dao, this is what guiding me towards this path until now. To ascend, to Achieve Immortality, and to Carry my own Way on Dao of Universe!"

    "One with fated Choice, are you Fine with your choice of Martial path ?"

    "!!!! , Yes!"

    "Why would you decided to choose on a thin line without anywhere to focus ?"

    "Because the Manifest of two force are always opposing each other."

    "What will come from the Force ?"

    "Four different Phenomenon, From Lesser Moon to Lesser Sun, Greater Moon to Greater Sun."

    "What will bear from the Four Phenomena ?"

    "Four Symbols, representing Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, as well as East, South, West, and North."

    "And what came out from to act as their representative ?"

    "The Eight Diagrams Ba Gua."

    "You are the most suitable person to inherit this series of knowledge. We hope you could Ascend and follow your Path of Dao."

    With the Approval of the Middle Shelf, which is the Main Shelf and test, Altima finally receives a total of 4 Different Martial Arts, which is Completing with each other, as well as opposing with each other.

With all the available and important books and items had been salvaged, Altima left the Hall in a hurry and return towards the Graveyard within 20 minutes of running.

    Out of idea what should he be doing at the moment, Altima continues with his Skeletal Armoured Soldier hunt. In the same time, Coincidently this area are pretty tightly guarded by the Only Beast which still resides within this graveyard.

Thoroughly escaping the (Little Sun of Yang Essence) thrown by Altima, the bunch of rat launch a continuous attack, taking the direction from Front, Side, and upwards. Altima, who have experience of 2 life, immediately escaped backward for two steps, before he launches a (Wu Di Long Fist Art) on the Rat which is closest to him.

    Leaving the Graveyard and returning into the Forest of Howling, Altima tried to inspect the scroll, but to no avail, until he deposits it into Inventory and allows Mobi to scan for the item. Going into the spatial realm, Altima noticed that due to the Strong Undulation of the newly grown Dragon''s Life Drilling Roots and Skeletal of Death Drilling Roots, The Yin Yang Essence Energy contained within this Spatial realm starting to get slightly disturbed.

    Since there is a balance required everywhere, This spatial realm won''t be able to escape from this fact either. With the disturbance caused by the exceeding of Essence energy, Many Yin or Yang Based Beast and plantations will be started to get inflicted with the Poison, where Bloodlust and Berserker ailments will be applied once Yang Infection is happening.

    "Yahhh!", Me Gunther Craft 1 Spear for master!", Gunther speaks proudly, and quickly run around the spatial realm to celebrate his success.

    Leaving the Spatial realm to his goblin subordinates, Altima returned to his Cultivation Hall, and Quickly started with his training on using the Deadly Yin Yang Spear.

    "Greetings, I am Mark Rex, Youngest Child among Gunnar''s 8 Children.", the first burly man, Mark, Introduce himself. Based from the energy undulation he released, he is in the 9th stage of Warrior Practitioner of Zen at least.

    "Greetings Altima, I am the Captain for the 51st Battalion of Gunnar Rex Army, Borr.", The man beside Mark, who looked tall but not as burly as Mark, introduce himself last. Based from the energy undulation, he is at least a 1st stage or 2nd stage Master Practitioner of Zen.

    "Brother Mark, Captain Borr, I am Altima El Mist, Third Rank Thousand Guild Members. How can I help you with ?", Altima returns their greetings politely, before going into the main topic.

    "Brother Altima, As you had known, Our Town recently been hit by the Cedrick Qi previously about a half year ago, who leading the army from the Upper Southern. We are planning to take this advantage after we rebuild our strength, and which is why we hope Brother Altima could concoct a portion of Pills for our usage.", Mark, immediately goes to the main topic.

I believe if we could provide this recipe to Mr. Altima, perhaps you could help us in Mass producing this medicine enough for the Military to preserve their life during our confrontation with Cedric''s Army.", Borr Added.

    "We are prepared to give Brother Altima this recipe anyway, as our team of concocting masters is struggling with other Medicinal concocting at the moment.", Mark, who are more of a negotiator instead of a fighter, quickly try getting a good favor from Altima, hoping that Altima could either assist them or even better if he is roped into the Rex Military Strength.

    A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

    "I Will consider about it, how does the exchange work ?", Altima gives them a rough answer, but yet to agree as he has yet to see the ingredient requirements, as well as how will the end product will be exchanged.

    "The Rex Military will provide Brother Altima with all the ingredient you will needs. While for the end product, we will expect a 70% towards the Military, while another 30% will be payable, of course, based on the market rates and offers.", Mark Replied.

    "Deal, Give me the Recipe so I could study it, and to protect both of our interest, Hopefully Captain Borr could be positioned here, to supervise and ensure the quality of the concocting products. ", Altima finally end his words and had Captain Borr to remain within his Agency to supervise the production. With the expectation wherein meantime, Altima could check on how strong and what is the motive Gunnar Rex getting close to Altima and his Agency.

    With this battle is over, both cultivator quickly has a try on the Mid Grade Healing Ointment, one consumes and one application, where they both were shocked with the magical healing strength from the medicine itself. Within 10 Minutes, all their injuries healed and recovered without any scars. Looking at the miraculous effect, even some spectators are tempted to purchase this medicine, but hesitates, because it seems to belong to the Rex Military itself.

    "Captain Borr, what do you think of this quality of Medicine ?", Altima asked Borr on his opinion.

    "Miraculous! I don''t think I can find another word to describe how amazing this medicine is.", Borr immediately replied.

    With the Agreement and confirmation given by Borr, Altima returned to his Cultivation Hall, and start to have a secluded Concocting training, which after spending a total of 16 days, with much effort, Altima finally manage to concoct a total of 20,000 (Mid Grade Healing Ointment), in which 14,000 Units are to be delivered towards the Rex Military Camp, and for the remaining 6,000 Units, Altima manage to seal a deal with a total of 12,000 Units of Arsalite Ingots.

    "It''s worth the hassle, brother. But I''m still dejected because the Ore produce within the Spatial Realm couldn''t be consumed by you.", Altima replied, knowing how thankful Mobi is, but still unhappy because the Metal produced in the spatial realm are not processable by Mobi.

    With the brother talking to each other, Altima, Whom finally finish all his task after spending the whole week, finally, have some personal time to handle his own private matters. Quickly process the 1,000 Units of the Blood Establishment Pills, Altima had himself well prepared with a total of 700 successful pills as the final results. Adding up with another 500 Successful Mid Grade Healing Ointments, and with all this preparation are all complete, Altima next Mission, is to ready himself to Concoct some higher quality zen pills for himself to bring over towards the Boulduin City.

    Preparing himself totally ready for the Concoction through using the Adult Beanstalk as the main ingredient, this time, Altima, who is the Early 5th Grade Concocting Practitioner, Finally tried his hand on concocting the Boosting Zen Pill, which believed to be providing a 50% total Yin Yang Essence for each pill consumed. With a success rate of 50% on each Pill he concocted, Altima tried his luck and seeing how well could he perform this time.

    Similar to how the process the basic Balancing Zen Pill, The only difference between the Balancing Zen Pill and the Boosting Zen Pill is only about how you process the Adult Beanstalk. Due to the Adult Beanstalk contained a stronger and thicker essence extract, the concocting master is required to process the Extract in a method of double distillation procedures.

    In the First Distillation, the Concocting master will be heating the Extract first with a strong Yang Flame on the bottom of the Cauldron, while allowing the Vapour to rise up towards the cover, to be cooled with the Yin Freezing. With this first round of distillation, each drop which fall from the Yin Freezing side will be required to move away immediately upon forming, before allowing them to fall back into the cauldron itself. With the Drops is gathered and bathed within the cauldron which filled with Yin Essence, the distilled extract will be gathered in between of one small Flame of Yang Essence, and treated with a second Cold distillation process.

    Upon completion, the beanstalk extract will be mixed with the Powder flower Stem Extract, thus combining both Yin and Yang Extract to form a Boosting ability, the combined extract will soon form a solidify outer layer, which slowly get stable and hard enough to be place on the Pill Steamer, which came in a special sizes. One of the reasons this steamer is required is due to the Yang Essence flame required to be focusing only on one pill each time in the concoction. Within this steamer, the newly made Boosting Zen Pill will undergo a thorough cooking, and enhance the medicinal Value within the Pill to ensure the Medicine carrying a sufficient Yin Yang Essence Energy within.

    With the Boosting Zen Pill is solid and ready to consume, they will release a nice and fragrant smell, with an outer look of Brownish colour with some Faint whitish like enveloping the pill. Although the process is difficult, The results are even more. Currently, Altima is on his 100th trial, where only 12 Pills are successfully concocted in that 100 trials. Time pass more and more, where Altima is busy looking for a perfect solution and method to completely succeeding the Concoction.

    "Brother, Check this report out.", Mobi, whom had the report and scanning and refining applied on the Boosting Zen Pill, finally complete and ready for Altima to check on it.

    After reading the difference of each step by step of the Medicinal Reaction and how well they envelop with the Yin and Yang Essence, Altima adjusted some of his concoction technique as well, adding a stronger concentrated flame during the Extraction process, as well stronger Concentrated Flame and Freezing along during the Distillation. Throughout the trial, Altima spend another 100 Portions of the ingredient, where he finally manage have a 50% Successful probability to concoct this Pill!

    But with the Essence Energy required concocting this Pill is humongous, which Altima only manage to fully utilize all his Essence Energy within his Storage capacity, to produce a total of 50 successful trials each day. Currently, the Auction which Altima is looking forward to attending will start after 1 week from now on.

    "Great Festival of Weevil Forest is conducted once a year, on the same day, to Hunt for the Upcoming King Coronation of the Weevil Forest Overlord, the Crystal Legged Empress of Weevil, Amarak. Each year, Amarak will send all of the children belonged to her out to the whole forest to hunt and get stronger, until each time, there will be a total of 10 Childs is left."

    "Within the 10 Child, Only 1 could stay to Breed with the Empress itself, Thus impregnate the Empress so she could Deliver countless child throughout the year.

    "Each (Gift of the Emperor) could be added to a bigger and bigger Ball of strings until the remaining Weevil is only one left. It then will go to the Empress herself, to be eaten as a supplement, as well as for her to use as her Sack of Eggs later after the Empress Weevil is impregnated. Meanwhile, the Emperor Weevil will be devoured, and have no remains left untouched."

    "During the period when the Weevil is on their Growing time, any indigestible Food source or Material the Weevil couldn''t process will be disposed into the Lair, which scattered all around the Weevil Forest. Their Strength ranged from 1st Stage of Warrior Practitioner, and could go up to around 7th or 8th Stage of Warrior Practitioner. Meanwhile, for the Empress of Weevil, she had been alive for almost 300 Years, as old as the Boulduin Family History.", Melissa finally finished with her explanation.

    "So.. What would the Great Boulduin Family wish me to help with ?", Altima gets to the right topic.

    "We would like you to craft us some of the Mid Grade Healing Ointment, as well as the Yang Essence Revitalizing Pill. For the recipe, what we Boulduin Family asked is in future, if the Recipes could be used, we just hope that only Boulduin Auction Hall of Myriad Treasure have the qualification to source this item out.", Melissa explains their terms and evaluate Altima attitude, be it he will accept or reject.

    "Of course, I agree, after all, this is a Recipe that nobody will have in their Library.", Altima Explained, agreeing on the terms set by Melissa.

    "But one more thing. Can I participate in the Great Festival of Weevil Forest ?", Altima asked as he is interested in entering this Forest and checked on the festival itself.

    "Why would you want to participate ? The Event is Mainly for people below Master Practitioners, plus with your ability, you could obtain any ingredients if you are willing to pay for it.", Melisa speaks honestly.

    "Lady Boulduin, Many things are not purchasable, such as experience, enlightenment, Vision, Luck, and Opportunity. If this festival has some lucky ingredients or blessings this time, but this opportunity are not grasped, so where will I be in the next event ?", Altima speaks as honest as possible he could toward Melissa, but in a very respective tone.

    "If in that case, I will go back to ask for an Allowance Tag, where non-Citizen could use this tag to participate in the Great Festival.", Melissa replied, and walked away.

    With haste, Altima quickly return towards the Thousand Members Guild, rest a while and start inspecting the few item he received from the Auction. But before that, Altima have Mobi processed the total of 13 Revival Fruits, which increased 26% experience to the Private Cultivating Farm - 34% / 100%.

    With both recipes are revised and checked, the next task Altima would require are to look for the most important item, the different type of Demonic Cores(only available to warrior practitioner beast and above), as well as the Exhausted Yang Orb and Soul Infested Spring Water. For the Yang Orb, Altima only choice is only to find Skeletons or any parasitic infested place, where it''s strong with Yang Essence undulations, as for the Soul Infested Spring Water, it can be only made from refining Essence Water from the Mixture of Essence of the Dead Corpse Pool(1) as well as the Spring Water from the Wandering Soul River.

    With all the prerequisite task and research are completed, Altima spends his next 8 days throughout refining his Skills, as well as trying to obtain news regarding few certain materials all around the Central Southern. After a long time of research, Altima finally found out that the closest Wandering Soul River are located on the border between the Central Southern and Upper Southern.

    Although the location is dangerous, Altima aren''t decided yet to quickly venture towards the location, due to the first reason of being limited in his fighting ability, and secondly is due to the upcoming Great Festival of Weevil Forest is almost there. Trying to participate and look for some treasures, Altima believed that it is the time he should go out to carve a name for himself, so he could efficiently protect himself and his interest, might as well create his own Power along the way.

    Very quickly, the timespan of 8 days is over, where Altima participates along with the Great Festival of Weevil Forest together with a total of 4,000 Cultivators, whom all of them are below Master Practitioner Tier. Within the group, 10 Youngster whom age between 11 to 13 are to be careful, due to the heavy Essence undulation is strongest, which means they are pretty much half step into the Master Practitioner Tier.

    After all the different practitioner are divided into a total of 10 entrance, the Festival Starts Now, where all 4,000 Cultivators are rushing into the Deeper of Weevil Forest, which is the closest as well the biggest Forest within Boulduin City. This Forest is categorized as a Difficulty above Warrior Practitioner, due to the heavily infested forest which serves as the heaven for the Demonic Beast, Insect, and many other opponents.

    "This time, I will slaughter anyone who tried to disturb me or make me a target as prey!", Altima speaks to himself and directly charge towards the deeper forest, where a few shadow could be seen within the bushes and Trees.

    Writer''s Note:

    (1)Mentioned in chapter 9, when Altima filled 5,000 Pouches full of Essence Water from the Dead Corpse Pool.

 Chapter 44 - Fierce Competition! Weevil or Cultivator Hunt ?

    With his heart steeled and hardened, Altima quickly charges along the road, only to be disturbed by a few 1st Stage Warrior Cultivators, which easily defeated by Altima, who equipped with the Deadly Yin Yang Spear. Only taking their spatial rings and leaving their life attached, Altima, who behaving pretty much kind and generous, quickly proceed into the deeper forest as he advances.

    Coincidently, Altima and two more 4th stage Warrior, all met in the middle of one of the Weevil nest, where One 6th Stage Warrior Practitioner Weevil is weaving a cocoon of Strings.

    "That''s the (Gifts of Emperor)! Kill the Weevil before we fought for the item!", One brave cultivator immediately initiates an attack, trying to lead the others to help kills the Weevil, where the results are, pretty successful.

    Currently, Altima and the other 2 cultivators of 4th stage warrior as well as 3 more cultivators which in hiding before, all rushed towards the weevil to quickly dispose of it. But unexpectedly, the Weevil are more prepared than all the cultivators who trying to land their first strike. Quickly toss the (Gift of Emperor) into the deeper side of the nest, The Weevil quickly turn itself around and raised 4 of its Claws to resist the cultivator''s advances.

    With the strength of a 6th Stage warrior practitioner, The Weevil manage to ward off a few attacks, before missing Altima''s Spear Strike.

    (Gate Breaking Direct Thrust!)

    Altima spear strike immediately pierces through but missed it the initial target, the Abdomen of the Weevil. But in the same time, Altima manage to decapitate one of the Claws. Crying out loudly, the Weevil start losing its balance slowly, while at the same time, still maintain its ferociousness when facing the other 4 cultivators which giving the Weevil some hard time.

    "Brother, Where is one more guy which joining us in the attack ?", Altima quickly had Mobi overlook the surrounding.

    "He''s Dead when your Spear attack pierces through the claw, that guy ends up shocked and got his heart pierced directly. The heart still attached on the front claw now, if you tried to see it clearly.", Mobi replied, but in neither funny or serious tone.

    Back to the fight, The 4 practitioner are still in a heated battle against the Weevil, wherein one unfortunate twist, One 4th stage cultivator misses his defensive steps, where with one direct Piercing Claw, he had been sent to met his maker, and to make things worst, his dead corpse was lifted up, and thrown with full strength towards a big tree trunk, thus directly destroying the corpse to decapitated bits.

    While for Altima, who used to this kind of situation, manage to handle himself well, unlike the final 3 practitioners who had an issue in controlling their vomit. Feeling like his opportunity is here, Altima immediately charge toward the Weevil once again, trying to aim a certain part on the Weevil.

    (Wall Crushing Pierce!)

    Altima, who trying to trick the Weevil to escape his line of charges, successfully distract the Weevil, which notices the differences of the Skill initiation after it made a quick left leap, but Altima attack was too fierce and fast, where the Spear is thrown directly, Stabbing on the Weevil''s under neck carapace. With the Martial art initiation on the second stage, Altima, Whom Charge directly after his first Spear throwing manage to stab nicely on the target''s body, quickly pushes the spear even deeper, until it came out directly from the Weevil''s Back.

    With such an injuries, the Weevil, which had been bleeding its bodily fluid nonstop, Finally collapse on the floor, dead. 2 more of the practitioner charged directly towards the Weevil, trying to check for anything to harvest and gain an upper hand. But without anyone''s expectation, the Weevil wakes out of sudden, putting its last bit of strength to quickly decapitate the two cultivators poor head, before falling down, and properly, dead this time.

    "Brother, can you scan for the energy undulation release from the last cultivator ?", Altima quickly had Mobi scan the last guy for a moment before he made any moves.

    "We need to kill him. Perhaps I can even Scan him when he is weakened, so we can at least see what is his cultivation technique.", Mobi quickly replied, with words which make him quite a sadist.

    "If in this case, Brother, what do you suggest we should do to those tries to attack us ?", Altima, whom partially agreeing with Mobi, quickly came with a sly laugh, giving the nearby Cultivator a sense of chill before he proceeds with his action.

    Unfortunately, the Cultivator doesn''t believe with his sense that what he was thinking will not be happening, instead, he tried to charge directly towards Altima, trying to take an advantage from the after battle Altima, by not allowing him to regain his stamina and Essence Energy after the fights end.

    "Little kid, I''m sorry but you need to die here, pass me all the belongings you have!", The Cultivator immediately initiate a claw attack following with a punch on another side of his hand.

    "I''m afraid you will be giving out more than this if you tried to attack me.", Altima, whom well prepared with this all due to his two life worth of experience, quickly replied the cultivator words and immediately launch an attack to counter his attack.

    (Yin Essence Bone Corroding Claw!)(Wu Di Long Fist Art)(Falling Leaves Soft Palm)

    With a 3 combo attack directly which Yin Poison Invade the cultivator, making him slightly startled by that attack, Altima quickly launch a long fist to intercept his movement, causing him to losing his balance before he apply the Soft palm, leading the cultivator directly to his reach before he had the cultivator knock faint, and allows Mobi to leave his wrist, quickly envelop the cultivator and scan his brain activities.

    "What a weakling! And yet he still dares to try to extort the others for their spatial rings?", Altima is slightly pissed, but never allows it to disrupt his important works, which is to grab the remaining treasure from the other dead cultivators, the Weevil, the (Gifts of Emperor) and some treasures within the nest, and lastly, Altima returned to the side of the cultivator, waited for a total of 3 hours, until the cultivator finally dead, indicates that the process is completed.

    "Brother, is everyone whom brain scanned will be left dead ?", Altima asked.

    "Nope, I purposely choked him to death, because he had done too many bad deeds before he went over to participate in this event.", Mobi explained himself.

    "This fella here, rape a total of 11 girls and cause all of them to suicide due to bringing shame to their family. One of them are even pregnant and was his younger cousin sister. Other than behaving like a rapist, this guy had the balls to rob Caravan and merchants cart, which have no guards or cultivator protecting.

In his way here, he manage to catch an unaware female cultivator, thus raping her and kill her before they both reach the gathering spot to enter the forest, this guy currently mastering 5 different martial arts, which I already had all of them scanned and cleaned, so you may immediately practice and utilize it.", Mobi finishes his word and returned to Altima''s Wrist without talking too much.

    With the reports appearing for the outer forest, Altima, Whom literally have no targets to hunt for, immediately came out with a tricky idea.

    "Brother, Shall we hunt for Ingredients, or (Gifts of Emperor) or cultivators and their Skills ?". Altima asked, because, through the scanner, no further treasure is listed within the report, which means one should enter deeper into the forest if he/she is looking for some treasure.

    "Why would you ask me this stupid question ? What we are here, for now, is to get all the Ingredient we could, as for the (Gifts of Emperor), Let us gather as much we could and sell to whoever interested with it. If there is cultivator who is looking for an issue with us, let us rob them clean and leave them crying with poorness." Mobi, finally says what Altima wished to listen.

    And thus, The "Why Not we hunt for everything ?", Starts now!

Without an identity, you are as well restricted from purchasing and trading exceeding 100,000 Worth of Balancing Zen Pills, and also you are not to be allowed to exit the City Once the Curfew hour is declared each day.", the Guard mention all the rules for entering the city, before he shows Altima the City Guard Office, which located beside the City''s Northern Gate, to pay for the Entering fee.

    "I will make sure to remember all the rules and restriction when entering this city, thank you Guard Brother.", Altima quickly thanked the Guard and pay the Entrance fee, thus receiving a special bamboo stick which has a trace of Yin Yang Essence Energy within, with a Formation Array Scribble along the Bamboo Stick.

    "One more thing to beware, Do not exit the City after Curfew hours. Although you are quite strong from the Energy Undulation I can felt from your body, but at night, The Demonic Beast as well as a special Beings, which called as Martial Puppets, randomly run around the outside of the city. Most of the Demonic Beast around this valley have the strength of average 5th Stage of Warrior Practitioner, while some of the martial puppets are as strong as a Master Practitioner, so take note of this.", The guard quickly finishes his word before returning to his post.

    "Guard Brother, Please take this as a token of gratitude for telling me so many things. I am Altima, Nice to meet you.", Altima quickly withdraws a total of 10 Balancing Zen Pill and 10 Yang Essence Revitalizing Pill and hand it over to the guard before he went into the City.

    "I am called as "Fung Wan" If you got any issue just look for me here in North Gate!", The Guard introduce himself too before he continues with his job as the Gate Guard.

    Within the city, Altima quickly runs around the place, and quickly came out with a simple conclusion where in this city, the City Lord and his Military are located within the Eastern of the City, which is a restricted area where only Citizen of Martial Emperor City, Authorized Merchant, and vendors, as well as people and cultivators from the other 4 super power, can pass through. In this city, the Northern, which is closest towards the border, is controlled and lead by the Sacred Sword Sect, while the South gate, which is closest to the Freezing Southern is covered by the Holy Guardian Guild. Lastly, the West gate, which is the only entrance towards the South Western State, is taken cared of by the World of Concocting Alliance.

    The word World of Concocting Alliance immediately attracts Altima interest, as there is only one Main Office within the whole southern, where this Alliance are to be said as the biggest gathering Spots for all the concocting practitioners. Various type of Recipes, Ingredients, as well as a master of certain practice could be found here, as well as studies and practice.

    Moving quickly into the Concocting Alliance, Altima is well attended by a hostess who trying to obtain some information from the guest they attend.

    "Young Master, welcome to the World of Concocting Alliance! What would you like to look for today ?", A hostess quickly asked Altima on what is his needs to be within the building.

    "Do the Alliance Accept new members in all the time ? If I am interested, whom should I be looking for ?", Altima goes directly to his main intention while handling the Hostess a total of 5 Yang Essence Revitalizing Pills.

    "Seems like this Pill quality is not too shabby, follow me please.", The hostess immediately brings Altima to a special Hall.

    A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

    "Young Master, This is the recruitment Hall for those who interested to join the World of Concocting Alliance. Please wait here for the announcement to starts.", The hostess quickly finishes his word and start to leave Altima within the hall, which filled by a roughly 200 different people range from the cultivator to Concocting Practitioners and Vendors.

    "Attention!", A strong and loud voice is heard from the Stage, where it stands by a total of 5 Strong cultivators.

    "If you are here for business opportunity, Trading, enrolment into the World of Concocting Alliance, and Jobs, Please Follow our first Manager, Jun Jin towards the first Floor."

    "If you are here for Recipe, Treasure, Ingredient request, and Concoction Request, Follow Our Second Manager, Ming Ying to the Second Floor."

    "If you are a Concocting Practitioner, Master or Wish to learn more about Concocting, You may follow me, and enter the Fifth Floor."

    "For the others, Follow our Third manager and Fourth Manager, Hong Cheng, and Fu Sa."

    "My name is Elder Wen, remember it, if you are lucky enough to be a part of us."

    With the announcement end, the total of 200 people immediately goes accordingly to their designated Manager, leaving Altima there, which make his last move and goes along with Elder Wen. The group is the biggest among all, which consist of at least 70 Youngster and Adults altogether. Upon reaching the 5th Floor, Altima was dumbfounded to see an Opened spatial Realm, which looks like a World of Factories and Alchemy concocting Hall, directly in front of their eyes.

    "Within this point, is the proud Spatial Realm of the World of Concocting Alliance, our very own Alchemy Realm."

    "First of all, to follow me ahead and speak a request, you would need to proof your strength. By following me, you had chosen the choices of Concocting Trial, where each of you would require to Concoct a simple medicine for me to inspect. If your skill and the pill of choice match our requirement, we will allow you to enter this Alchemy Realm.", Elder Wen quickly speaks through all the requirements and trials, and with a swing of his hand, a total of 70 Alchemy Station appeared along the Walkway, which is ready for all the participants to start their concoction.

    "The ingredients will be distributed to you, depending on what the Array had wished. If you are ready, go towards the Array, and withdraw the ingredients you are supposed to concoct, and quickly Concoct the Pill in your best way.", Elder Wen finished his words and had himself seated directly outside the Alchemy Realm, where 3 comfortable seats are already prepared.

    With a rush, all the cultivator quickly went towards the Shelf with Magical Array within, and quickly withdraw the different to each person ingredients, and quickly went towards their table to start the concocting. Altima, Placed last again in his attempt, quickly attract the attention of Elder Wen and another 2 different Elder who seated beside his both side.

    "Wen, Who is this young child ? He doesn''t seem to be disturbed or falter by the stress of giving too little information.", On of the Elder on the left most seat started to speak.

    "Kan, your eyesight, and appreciation in the point of "Looking with Heart" is the best among the three of us, why not you take a deep look ? Even I can feel different in his energy undulation is slightly different from others.

    "Kan, Chang, this young child, might give us a little surprise. When I am leading the others here, all I could feel along the way is the strong medicinal Smell, from a few best Medicinal ingredient. I believe this kid might be an advance in his Concocting Skills.

    With a short discussion, the three elder finally agree altogether, where Altima aren''t as simple as a young child, based on the calmness and action he made. Upon placing his hand on the Magical Array, Altima immediately receives a bag with a scroll, which different from the others. This ingredient is packed in a golden bag, which is a black horse among the practitioner who came to state their request.

    "Golden Bag! I wonder will his skill and knowledge make a way for it ? Since his luck are totally out of words now.", Elder Chang immediately felt disappointed with Altima''s bad luck.

    The World of Concocting Alliance, are divided into a few different Department, where the focus on their specialty differs from each other. The Alchemy Realm Department, are one of the focus where Medicinal Recipe research, Concocting, Production and many more fields required is being conducted within this department.

    Within this Department, The 3 Elders are an important figure, where all three of them possess a different master of knowledge, with Elder Wen(Smell), who excel in the "Heart of Fragrant", a deeper cultivation mind art which allows him to discern a quality and effect of a medicinal pill through smells alone. Same to Elder Kan, who excel in the art of "Looking with Heart", which allow him to discern a quality through Looks, and Elder Chang, which excel in the art of "Taste with the mind", who can discern the quality of the pill with a touch of his essence.

    Altima, whom finally returned to his Alchemy station, quickly unbind the bag to only see a total of 12 Adult Beanstalks, 6 Stem of Powder Flower, a total of 6 cauldron and different Pill Steamers. With a simple look at this total of the item within the bag, it is confirmed that this bag contains the test which required Altima to Concoct the Boosting Zen Pill!

    "I would never imagine, this luck of mine are pretty much working out well for myself.", Altima speaks to himself, and quickly concoct the pill according to his own experience.

    Giving one surprise after another, Altima quickly gains the approval from the 3 elders, who anticipate the success of the pill Concoction.

    Without any hassle, Altima quickly produces a success trial of 6 Boosting Zen Pill, totally breaking the record of the previous participant whom unluckily drew this Bag for their Examination.

    "Six! Six Success Boosting Zen Pill!"

 Chapter 47 - First Step into the Real World! (Part 3)

    Final 3 Chapter will come out by tomorrow afternoon, around the same time.

    Thank you for all the support up to date!

    Immediately, The 3 Elders quickly went over towards Altima''s Alchemy Station, to inspect the quality of the Boosting Zen Pill he had just successfully crafted. Inspecting it through by Smell, Looks, and Taste, the 3 elders finally satisfied, and immediately allows Altima to proceed into the Alchemy Realm so he could look and learn within before he is led to another Hall within the Realm.

    After a few more hours pass, the total number from 70 immediately reduced into only 4 person left, which is 5 when to include Altima as well. All 5 of them heads toward the Medicine Hall, which is an operating office for the Alchemy Realm, to be interviewed by another 7 elders, which made up for a total of 10 elders, whom will ask a question and choose to recruit them depending on the answer.

    When it is Altima''s turn to be questioned, the 10 elders all are brimming with enthusiasm. After a detailed inspection, All the elders are satisfied with the results from the Effect the Cultivating Pill releasing out.

    "Young Child, what is your name ?", One Elder started to ask.

    "Altima El Mist. Honoured Elder.", Altima replied with full respect.

    "Altima... Is it the one who recently getting talked about, the one who Concoct the rare Marrow Cleansing Elixir ?", another Elder voice out.

    "Yes Respected elder, I am the one whom you just mentioned.", Altima replied once again.

    "So, Tell us your motive to attend this interview.", The Elder who seated in the middle started to go into the main topic.

    "Great Elder, I am here because I believe I am still too young and lack of knowledge in this field of Concocting medicine. I believe if I am given the opportunity to join along this Alliance as a member of your Concocting Practitioner, I could learn more about the Medicine and Concoction ?", Altima quickly answers the question, as honest as he could, without mentioning the motive about he will need a background support so he could get in through the Eastern Gate.

    "Your request will be granted. You have performed an excellent job by concocting this Boosting Zen Pill Beautifully, Which required the strength of a minimum 5th Stage of Concocting Practitioner. Even amusing is you could concoct this medicine without any mistakes, this proof that you experience in the field of Medicine had already gone through a lot, which contributes to your success today."

    "You will be offered with the Position of Intermediate Practitioner, which is adjustable depending on your overall performance in the daily jobs you overtake when employed. You will be required to complete a quota of Concoction before allowed to Leave the Room for your personal activities, while in the same time, you will be given all basic accommodation and Training or Concoction class during your free time."

    "Please take note that no Spatial rings or belongings related to Spatial Quality are allowed within the Pill Concocting Room, which is arranged to you specifically. If you understand, go ahead and follow elder Wen, he will be handling you your current jobs, where you could start your work immediately.", The Great elder immediately has elder Wen to lead Altima away from the Hall, where they soon pass through a long walkway, and end up within a smaller Storage Factory, with plenty of Small Cubicles are built in a well-arranged way.

    "So, Little Altima, you will be using this room number 188 for now, which is suitable to concoct medicinal ingredients below the Warrior Practitioner Strength. Your first task is to concoct this medicine called (Low-Grade Tempering Pill). You will find the Recipe within, which you will be allowed to keep within your Recipe list. Now go, and Make sure you have the minimum quota to be complete before you are allowed to leave the Room. If you have any spatial ring and spatial equipment, place it into the spatial portal, they will keepsake it for you when you are inside working.", Elder Wen immediately leaves after he finishes his words, and leave Altima preparing for himself before entering the room.

    Preparing himself and strip off from all the Spatial item, Altima proceeds to enter the room along with Mobi, which easily reassign his category without any disruption. Within the Room, arrangement from the Alchemy station to the cauldron, and to the other smaller equipment, are all in a very standard allocation. All the tools are well cleaned and arranged, suitable for Cultivator who excel in extracting and concocting to use whenever required. The cauldron is in a very high quality made, which is from Arsalite Pure Plate. Other than that, the Room is well equipped with a Yin Energy Cabinet, which used to keep the ingredient fresh from any form of atmosphere degradation.

    Finish preparing himself and the tools, Altima had the bell rang, where the logistic staff quickly bring in a total of 500 portions of the ingredients to concoct a 500 Trials on the Low-Grade Tempering Pill. With all the kind gestures and had the staff left the room, Altima had the door locked within, which turn the Room number become Red on the outside, Altima started to apply few different Yang Essence Flame on a total of 4 cauldrons, before proceed to separate the ingredients and place all of them inside the cauldron.

    With a strong Flame, Altima quickly has the Demonite Stone within started to melt from the heat, while adjusting the Flame evenly on the second Cauldron, Altima has the Scarlet Demonic Beast Blood slowly bring into a boiling condition. Meanwhile on the same moderate Flame, the Scarlet Red pearl are quickly being cooked within the cauldron, where the pearl started to get dried and ready to be ground, With the Demonite Stone finally melted, Altima had the melted Demonite substance quickly transferred into the Scarlet Red pearl Powder, where the chemical reaction immediately occurred, bringing the Purplish Substance and the Red powder into a mixture, where it''s quickly turned out to be a slightly brownish hue powder.

    Adding the boiling blood onto the Wolfberry Essence leaf which had been preheated for a while, Altima quickly notices the changes of the Blood, where droplets of Clear Crystal coloured quickly appeared within the boiling blood. Applying a slight Yin Essence Energy, Altima had the Clear Droplets separated into another container, before allowing the blood which currently is thoroughly boiled and prepared, to be mixed along with the Brownish Powder, wherein a quick instantaneously reaction, the blood immediately have the powder pulled over towards itself, forming a round pill size pellet, which is not very well formed.

    In the last step, Altima finally mixes the Crystal Clear droplets within, where the droplets quickly form a layer of candlewax-like the skin around the pellet, until the pill is covered with a white coloured wax. Bringing the Whitish coloured Wax Pellet to the Steam Oven, Altima had the pill placed within the Pill Steamer, before placing into the Large Steaming Brick-made Oven, and have the medicine steamed within until its ready. Withdrawing the Pill steamer later, Altima opened the Case, just to see the White Wax is finally melted, and absorbed into the pellet itself, and from the effect of steaming, the Pill finally had its impurities discharged, leaving only a shiny Brown Coloured pill in the middle of the steamer case.

    Checking the Pill based on his experience, Altima deduces that this pill is successful concocted, with a quality range from between 60% to 75%. Without wasting any of his precious time, Altima had himself quickly process all the remaining ingredient and came out with a final result of 120 Success among the 500 Portions of Trial. Ringing the Bell, very quickly, the same Logistic staff came over immediately just smile over the number of success pill Altima just concocted.

    "Young Brother, how many time had you concoct this type of medicine ?", The Staff asked.

    "This is my first time, is there any mistakes ?", Altima, whom slightly shocked by the question, quickly checked with the staff in case his concoction came out mistakenly.

    "No, Rest assure Young Brother, This quality of medicine is pretty good for a newcomer. I believe nobody else except you had their Concocting done so fast before, although sometimes their quality of Medicine varies from good to Excellent, but mostly is average.", Said the Staff, before he withdraws all the Low-Grade Tempering Pills.

    "Little Brother, This is a total of 12 Piece of Arsalite Made Currency paper. Among the staff, partners and other people, we all trades using this Arsalite Made Currency paper. Except the basic meals and accommodation is provided, anything which you would like to own and the purchase would require being paid with the Arsalite Currency. Unless you are interested in purchasing it by Balancing Zen Pill, Which required you to pay at least 50% extra for it ?", The Staff says.

    With a total of 12 Arsalite Currency, Altima finally leaves the Room and heads directly towards the accommodation area which had been arranged to the members to rest and cultivate. This kind of life goes along for another one full month, where Altima quickly had his credits increase into a total of 800 Currency paper. Going along the way from the first day, Altima quickly receives a total of 2 more new Recipes, where each of them is totally special in the eyes of Altima.

    With the additional 2 Recipes in Altima book of Concocting, Altima quickly establish him own name, where a few certain wealthy family and Younger practitioner started to look for Altima directly, to provide him the material to concoct a few Elixir and tonic for them. Understanding and being not too calculative with his profits, Altima usually agreed with the concocting, as long he will be allowed to keep half of the end results, which varies each time he concocted.

    Very soon, Altima, whom already establish himself within the city for about 3 months now, had his name spread out directly, and heard even by the peoples who staying at the Wu Di Royal City. Upon hearing the name Young Concocting Practitioner Altima, Yang Wu Di, being the closest person to Altima, quickly get fired up and had the urge to went off towards the Martial Emperor City to met his dearest Little Brother. But unfortunately, With his official task on hand, and the Curfew applied towards all the royal member at the moment, Yang Wu Di is forced to leave his plan aside.

    Meanwhile, For Altima, who had built himself a little reputation in this Martial Emperor City, is busy conducting his own Training in martial Arts, which continuously repeated every single day, for a total of 2 months. During this period of time, Altima, whom diligently train without stop, found himself unable to break through the wall which preventing him from manage to combined a few mastered Martial arts, which he had tried for so long.

    "Brother Mobi, Do you have any idea why is the Martial art still unable to be Upgraded ?", Altima checked again with Mobi, whom already bored by the persistent Altima.

    "Silly boy, I had told you before, you need to search for the enlightenment before the Martial Art could be upgraded. You had trained so long for this 2 month period, but not much progression is there to be seen, there must be a certain reason why you are stalled in this stage for so long.", Mobi Answered him again, but slightly different from his usual reply this time.

    "Brother, The Second Chapter Scrolls, how come it would take such a long time to process ? This is the 260th Day since we had it Scanned and Deciphered.", Altima, whom already restless due to the Long researching time applied on the second chapter arts.

    "How do I know ? This might be due to my current level are insufficient, With such a long processing time, This martial art most probably pretty high quality and difficult to learn, thus adding the difficulties in deciphering it.", Mobi answers Altima in an unhappy way.

    "Shall we continue with the basic training, or should I start focusing back on the progress of our spatial realm again ?", Altima checks with Mobi on their next action to be.

    "I believe if we could focus on our spatial realm and my level, that would work pretty well in the later part of our journey. Should we try travel into one of the location which you heard a few days back from Elder Wen ?", Mobi agreeing with what Altima had just mentioned and remind him of the information they just heard from Elder Wen.

    "Shall we try to apply for a short term break, and try our luck in locating the pool ?", Altima getting excited, with eyes and mind brimming with the hunger for adventures.

    "Let''s Do it!", Mobi agreed with the plan as well, where on the next day, Altima proceed towards to the Great Elder Office and applied for a City Exit pass, which could allow the Temporary Employee exit the City for certain task or travel. Based on Altima current popularity and condition, requesting for a City Exit Pass is easily obtained, which allows Altima to exit the City next morning.

    The location this pair of brother are heading towards is a place more known as the (Crater of Decaying Remains). This Crater is located about 10th of acres from the borders, Which carries a total of only 1-acre width Entrance. The crater is not as dangerous at the outside, where frequently guarded by the Martial Puppets during the Nighttime, or by the Warrior Practitioner Beast, but as one cultivator runs deeper within the Craters, the Demonic beast and Insect within will get stronger and stronger.

    It has been reported as well, where Beast as strong as a Soul Practitioner is seen before, during one of the exploration does by the Holy Guardian Guild, where they lost a number of practitioners during the escape. Within this Crater, one specific location cause Altima to be attracted towards it, which is the (Pool of Molten Arsalite). This Pool contained with one specific ingredient which could help in Metal Works, which is the Pure Extract of Arsalite. Through the word from many Concocting Senior who excel in Battling Medicine, this pure extract is one of the most sought after ingredients due to its properties are widely used in all battling Medicine creation.

    To Ensure the Pure Extract Doesn''t mix together with impurities, each Vial of the Molten Arsalite needed to be well processed with a highly concentrated Yin Essence Flame, where the Molten substance are quickly reduced into a boiling residue before the most concentrated extract could be harvested. Utilizing Yang Essence are likely not advisable, due to the highly damaging nature from the Yang Essence Flame.

    With a slow pace, Altima finally reaches the surrounding of the crater, where one of the most prosperous outposts had been positioned and built here, for the convenience of the traders and cultivators to trade their harvest each time they explore the crater. Paying a total of 50 Balancing Zen Pill, Altima quickly has a private Room for him to enjoy his own rest time, but that''s after Altima had the interface preparing to Scan for the Crater''s Details. After 40 hours of Scanning and loading, Altima finally received a detail report from the interface.

    With the report from the scanning came, Altima no longer wasting his time, and immediately charge into the Crater''s opening, which had been reinforced by other Cultivator so they could have a better guide during entering the cave. With the rough floorplan had been recorded by the interface, Altima travel very quickly, to reach the first opening room which resides by a whole nest of Yin Yang Skeletal Beast, Which explained why the Inhabitant of the Undead and Demonic Beast Population is equally the same.

    Yin Yang Skeletal Beast - Parasite infested Skeletal Undead Being(Beast-Type)

    Notes:

    This Parasite infested beings came in two different forces, one Yin and another Yang. Aggressive and Deadly in nature, the Parasite first infest the bones of dead one by one, thoroughly form the outlook of their battling form, before the Skeleton Formed Beast is ready to fight for food. The Parasite is Omnivorous, which explained their aggressive behaviour on fighting other Skeletal beast and thoroughly consume them to get stronger.

    Threat Level:

    1st Stage of Warrior Practitioner - 1st Stage of Master Practitioner

    Thoroughly looking around within the Huge cave, Altima finishes scanning for any huge threat within this area, where he finally notice that there is none of the Skeletal Beast above the 3rd Stage of Warrior Practitioner. Starting with a Charge into the crowd with his full strength of his (Zhen Wu Golden Bell Technique on the Golden Body Stage), Altima quickly has the Deadly Yin Yang Spear ready in hand, and immediately launch a (Wall Soldier Slaying Slash) to attack the first 6 Beast crowds in front of him.

    Getting pushed backwards by the sudden strike, the Skeletal beast howl and started to charge fiercely on Altima, which he quickly escape by moving aside while swinging the spear horizontally and split one of the beast skulls from its body. But, losing a skull is the most efficient choice, as the Skeletal beast is still moving around, with the Parasitic Vines within the body slowly crawls out from the nape and binding with skeleton remains along its path, and quickly reattached itself with a few cracked bones into a shape of a skull.

    "I guess today I''m going to clean this Crater a little bit since there are too many bones around this place," Altima speaks to himself and had his spear ready for his next strike.

    With a jerk of his palm, Altima had himself ready to launch his next hit, the (Spear of Rain Bursting Hall) on the crowd of Skeletal Beast, where it quickly weakened a large number of skeletal beast before Altima charge towards the centre while maintaining the arrangement of (Wu Di Long Fist Art), (Zhen Wu Might Uprooting The Forest), (Dragon Raging Claw), and (Wheel of Tai JI). Destroying at least 2 to 3 Skeletal beast each time Altima change his form of attack, he quickly reaches the centre of the Cave, where the skeletal beast immediately senses his current position and charge directly from a (360) Direction.

    (8x8 Sixty-Four Continuous Unbroken Fist!)

    Altima Roar in his heart, where a wave of 64 Fist swept forth and quickly slammed against all the skeletal beast which charging their way towards Altima without any method to stop their current action. With his fighting capability increased significantly comparing to himself 4 months ago, Altima quickly destroyed the whole nest of Skeletal Beast, leaving no completely movable skeleton around for the parasite to reattach themselves, and died without any protection.

    "With my current 12 Door is unlocked, I have enough Stored Essence Energy to launch this Move continuously for at least 5 to 6 times before all my stored Essence depleted," Altima speaks in his heart While laughing.

    Altima then allows himself to rest for a short moment, before he continued his way, harvesting all the available materials, and entered the next opened path to his next location, which most likely to be another nest as well.

    In the next Hour, thanks to the aggressiveness from Altima, 3 caverns which filled with a total of 800 Yin-Yang Skeletal Beast are quickly getting slaughtered without any mercy is given. Very quickly, Altima reaches his 5th Cavern, where instead of meeting another group of Skeletal Beast, Altima is forced to met his first tough opponent within this (Crater of Decaying Remains).

    "Brother Mobi, Quickly scan this target before we make any movement!", Altima quickly has Mobi scan on the Beast, while he took the liberty of that moment to quickly hide, and control his energy undulation.

    With the scanning in progress, Altima had himself quickly scan the surroundings with his bare eyes, while reading the targets movement and behaviour. Up to his expectations, This beast is likely the Adult version of Skeletal Beast. Behaving like an overlord in this cavern, this skeletal beast gives no space for the other random travelling skeletal beast to pass through, where it quickly destroy and devour the Parasite within, and collect the fragments to strengthen itself.

    After checking thoroughly, Altima soon understands his luck, which due to the adult Skeletal Beast is rampaging within this spot, the remaining Skeletal beast at the outermost of the cavern is reduced, which is why Altima face no disturbance during his travel from each cavern to another, through the shaft.

    "Target Scanning Complete!"

    Yin Yang Skeletal Beast (Grim) - Parasite infested Skeletal Undead Being(Adult Beast-Type)

    Notes:

    Sharing the same similarity with the other Skeletal Beast, (Grim), which born as a slightly mutated Parasite, had a slightly different behaviour during growth towards adulthood. Due to the Parasite had devoured a large amount of other parasite and dead cultivators, It most likely develops a functioning Brain system, allowing the parasite to behave differently.

    Traits:

    This beast is categorized to Basic, the beast is known to be deadly in fights, and few specific skills might be expected due to the difference in growth and mutation.

    Threat Level:

    9th Stage of Warrior Practitioner

    "Seems like this Skeletal Beast is the first Boss I need to get through before I can go deeper!", Altima smiled excitedly, and grip his Spear firmer than ever, before preparing to charge towards (Grim) the Adult Skeletal Beast.

    (Gate Breaking Direct Thrust!)

    Like a Flying arrow, Altima brandished his spear and charge towards Grim, initiating his first attack to gain an advantage against a 2 Stage higher opponent. But not being a weakling in his league, Grim actually manage to close its jaw, directly stopping Altima''s Spear Thrust before tossing him towards the other side of the wall. Losing the first advantages strike, Altima had his (Wheel of Tai JI) ready behind him, which reduce the impact upon contact with the surface of the walls.

    With both hand is available for next move, Altima had his spear gripped tightly, and follow up with a Spear throw.

    (Flying Spear Collapsing Tower!)

    "Zingg!", The spear pierces through the air without any resistance from the Airflow, and pierce through the Grim''s Head, causing it to scream loudly.

    Just as Grim Screamed, Altima gave it no chances to recover from that move, where he immediately leap underneath of Grim''s Underbelly and launch a few consecutive strikes.

    (Four Symbol of Xi Siang - Symbol of White Tiger!)

    (Zhen Wu Strength Destroy the Kingdom!)

    (Wu Di Long Fist Art!)

    Launching 3 consecutive moves, Altima quickly gains an advantage, forcing Grim into a sorry state. Feeling itself getting pushed back by Altima, Grim immediately launch his deadly attack. Through opening his jaw, countless Vines and Roots danced out and immediately form a shape of a sphere which immediately restrict Altima''s movement. Behaving totally like a beast, Grim ran around, circling the sphere before it howls and opens the jaw, trying to swallow Altima whole into its body.

    "How long have I waited for this moment.", Altima sheepishly said, and tossing two Round Essence Energy Ball into Grim''s Jaw.

    (Little Sun of Yang Essence!) (Little Moon of Yin Essence!)

    Two different manifested energy, invaded the body of this Adult Skeletal Beast, forcing it to struggle with much difficulties. With the Yang Essence Corroding power which burning the Bones attached within the Body to ashes, while the Yin Essence Freezing power which Froze the veins and roots of the parasite into breakable Ice shards, Grim quickly lose its Battle strength, while quickly degenerate in a ridiculous speed.

    "Screech... Krukkk..", The Parasite, which have not even one piece of bones fragment covering its body now, seems like a surrendered wolf, bowing its head down without any power to resist.

    "Caution!", Altima suddenly receives a huge Warning in front of him.

    Trusting his Interface and his careful instinct, Altima immediately retreats from the range of the Parasite, where within seconds, a large number of skeletal beast charge into the cavern, quickly surrounding the Parasite before opening their jaws around the parasite, and consuming Grim''s body.

    "Brother, Any idea what is this sudden changes of behaviour is all about ?", Altima, who was dumbfounded with the sudden changes in the Skeletal Beast''s behaviour, had Mobi inspect this situation.

    "From my Scanning ability, it''s seems that the stripped body of an adult parasite does release a number of death particle energy, which attracts the other Parasite to go crazy with the hunger to absorb all these particles.", Mobi quickly explains what''s happening in a simple way.

    "If this is the case, let us take advantage of this situation and thoroughly destroy as much as I could!", Altima had his spear brandished once again, and launch his consecutive move towards the spot where the Skeletal beast is most concentrated.

    Stolen novel; please report.(Massive Essence Explosive Fist + Spear of Rain Bursting Hall!)

    A combo move is initiated, where Altima quickly have the crowd destroyed, slaughtered and thinned to a rate where the bones fragment are almost not recognisable. However, with the Adult parasite body is totally devoured by the earliest group of Skeletal beast, very quickly, the group of Skeletal Beast disperses, leaving the Cavern with nothing else which able to move, except Altima.

    "I suppose I had kill at least 2,500 Skeletal beast, just by using this technique nonstop on the same spot.", Altima expression turned sour, due to the failure to kill Grim personally and maybe losing a few high-quality ingredient at the same time.

    Without wasting any more time, Altima proceeds to gather all the harvestable material and drops, until he found out a little Seed hidden at the bottom of the piles of bone fragment.

    "Brother, What is this ?", Altima places the seed into the inventory and had Mobi checked on the Item.

    "I had one action point used on this seed, maybe after a while, we will get a result.", Mobi answered.

    With the Cavern is empty without any activities, Altima decided to get in deeper into the Crater, wherein the next moment, a grinning smile could be seen in the two brother''s face.

    "Pool of Molten Arsalite!!"

    The brothers pair immediately lose themselves with happiness, where Mobi immediately turned back into his usual form and jump into the Pool for a quick swim, While Altima, sitting in meditation form, slowly refine the Molten Arsalite in each vial, and thoroughly process them into a single drops of (Pure Extract of Arsalite). Focusing on his work without any distraction, Altima had his hand filled with a total of 50 Drops at the moment.

    "Brother, This (Pure Extract of Arsalite) is truly magical. With a body and composition similar to Gallium in my previous World, This metal can be mixed together, forming a single long piece of Metal Place, but in the same time, just by applying a little Essence Energy, they could be separated without difficulties into each single drops.

    "Silly. Don''t you see why I am enjoying so much when I am within this pool ? This is because the Molten Arsalite is one of the best body enhancement nutrition for Universe Slime like me and the others. Due to my body are more towards Metal Element, I can absorb and utilize the Metal related nutrition to strengthen my body. But as we grow, we will get adapted to even more different element, which allows us the slime to assimilate almost all kind of elements.", Mobi talked, but without noticing that his body is shining with a greyish Light in the middle of his body.

    "Brother what happen to you ?", Altima gets nervous as the light starting to shine even brighter and making Mobi''s body swell up almost double of his size before he went into the pool.

    Without a moment to give Mobi any notice, the swelling immediately exploded, where continued with a bright light blind the whole 2 acres Pool of Molten Arsalite Cavern. In that moment, Altima and Mobi quickly manage to touch each other and held tightly until the blinding light finally gone from the Cavern. Opening his eye slowly, Altima notices that Mobi''s body seems like Molted.

    From the origin of transparent greyish colour, Mobi currently changed to a darker hue, with his body slightly goes a little heavier than he originally is. Altima quickly had Mobi interface appears, where the changes are actually stated.

 Chapter 50 - First Step into the Real World! (Part 6)

    OK PEEPS! Final chapter for this week, I will be going into Hiatus, Awaits your triple chapter upon my return on 19th of Sept!

    With the changes applied on Mobi, the pair of brothers soon finishes their days Itinerary, with Altima travel into his Essence Resources Realm. With today''s result of 100 Units (Pure Extract of Arsalite) is obtained, Altima decided to refill most of his Yin and Yang Essence Energy through the support from the Dragon''s Life Drilling Root and the Skeletal of Death Drilling Root.

    Seated in a meditation position, Altima quickly absorbs the available Yin Essence until his storage capacity is almost fully refilled. Spending one action point on the resources Essence Zone, Altima allows the Realm to process their respective resources, be it requiring manpower like the Scarlet Bitter Grass, or the Bitter Bark Tree''s Worm. In the same time, Altima Action allows Gunther to continue his Material Production and Smithing works as well.

    Currently, Within the Workshop, Gunther had 4 Different Weapon is made. Using the same technique he applied on the Deadly Yin-Yang Spear, Gunther has himself crafted another set of Deadly Yin-Yang Blade, Bow, Axe and Flying Knives. The only difference between this 4 weapon compared with Altima''s Spear is this 4 Weapon failed to achieve the Infested Essence Soul within, thus creating a different in quality between the Spear with this 4 weapon.

    Assigning the Blade to Victor and Axe to Vector, Altima has Gunther tasked to Craft a better quality Flying Knives, which strictly needed to come in a total of 18 Knives. Each Knife is required to be very well Crafted, good in air flow resistance quality, as well as lightweight and easily controllable Via Essence Energy. With this current requirement, Altima immediately makes Gunther felt the pressure, where the Goblin Smith quickly starts his work immediately, ignoring his master.

    With the basic task is assigned, Altima returned to the (Pool of Molten Arsalite) and continue with his usual jobs, which takes him a long time and unmovable attention to refining the Molten Arsalite one by one. In the second day, Altima barely manages to finish with a total of 150 Drops of the (Pure Extract of Arsalite), Which took a huge amount of Yin Essence Energy within Altima''s body. But as the time goes, he slowly manages to control his energy consumption and how to maintain the refining Flame in the more efficient way, increasing the total refining manage to increase from 100 to 150, and now 250.

    But even to the most Capable Cultivator, Solely focusing their strength in using one type of Essence Energy to refine the Material, will take a huge risk and burden towards the cultivator body, wherein the 5th day of Refining, Altima finally feels collapsing from the hectic toll of Yin Energy Essence used nonstop. Altima starts to have a backlash from overusing his Yin Essence Energy, where his Headache starts to get slightly severed, with his bones along the body started to break and get cramp whenever he moves.

    In the same time, Altima''s Yang Essence Energy as well started to get slightly low in performance, due to the unbalance consumption where it increases the resistant capability towards Yin essence, Thus indirectly affect the performance of the Yang Essence Energy too. With this kind of Backlash starts to appear, Altima has no other choices but to stop his Refining Works for temporary, until he manages a way to further utilize his Yin Essence Energy. With this decision, Altima finally ends his mission with a total of 850 Units of (Pure Extract of Arsalite) is obtained and stored.

    Receiving an enough rest his next day, Altima Proceed with his primary mission, to obtain and hunt as many Skeletal Beast as he could before he required to return to the Martial Emperor City. With his Approval of 2 week travel schedule, Altima currently had used up a total of 10days from his 32 days period, which means, he need to rush up a little of his activities in this remaining 22 days, as he won''t be allowed to travel again due to the strict Rules applied on the people who wish to stay in Martial Emperor City.

    With his cultivation getting deeper and stronger each single day, Altima, Started to show a capability to quickly dispose of the group of the skeletal beast without any additional precaution is required. Although he has the eagerness to look for similar mutated Skeletal Beast like Grim before, but unfortunately, Luck wasn''t standing alongside with Altima, where even after the 22 days had passed, Altima still failed to search for any other Treasures, Ingredient Locations and any of the Mutated Adult Skeletal Beast.

    Disappointed, Altima return towards the exit of the crater, where the outer defensive perimeter started to get Lax because of the drops of activities within the crater itself. Within this 22 days of Hectic activities, Slaughtering the Skeletal Beast without stopping each day, Altima almost ventured 1/3 of the Crater''s Cavern and slaughtered about a number of 70,000 numbers of Skeletal Beast. Throughout the 22 days of slaughtering and harvesting their drops, Altima does actually go through about a total of 30 Adult Skeletal Beast, which ranked around 8th of Warrior Practitioner to 9th of Warrior Practitioner, but none of them are as capable as Grim itself.

    Leaving the Crater of Decaying Remains, Altima makes haste and return to the Martial Emperor City in a hurry. As he enters the gate, the curfew hour finally announced, thus all entrance and exit are closed and sealed, altogether with rows of Magical Array. Without bothering about what is so special about that array, Altima walks straight towards the World Of Concocting Alliance.

    Within, Altima had a slight rest for a day, before he went back again to his norm life, Concocting Medicine and assisting other Colleagues with their quota, Altima name quickly get well known within the Martial Emperor City, where even the City Lord, is paying direct attention toward this Name which being mentioned almost to the point of not stopping.

    One fine day, An unexpected visitor came over to the World of Concocting Alliance, requesting to meet Altima directly. Carrying the Name "Fung Wan", Altima quickly have his aide invite this Young Guard who used to give Altima plenty of advice, into the guest room All the Concocting Practitioner use to met with their visitors. Looking at the familiar face, Altima, whom having his daily life passing with boredom, felt delighted with a visit from a random friend he befriends.

    "Brother Fung Wan, how are you? What brings you here today?", Altima greets him nicely.

    "Younger Brother, I''m afraid I have a request which maybe only you could help with.", Fung Wan replied, with a sour expression on his face.

    "Brother Fung Wan, if you treat me as a friend, Just split it out.", Altima, quickly has him open his mouth and speak out what is happening.

    "The problem is like this.", Fung Wan immediately split out the issue which has been bothering him for a while now.

    During the time Altima is away for the exploration on the Crater of Decaying Remains, The City Concocting Contest, is opened for Application where all the participant must have a recommendation letter to enter the competition. Through a certain network, Fung Wan manage to retrieve a parchment of documents, which stated the qualification of Altima and his capability, thus inviting him to participate in this competition as well.

    But due to Altima are not within the City during that period, and the parchment is within Fung Wan''s Hand, He take the liberty of making decision for Altima, where he stole the list of registration from the Northern Gate Guards Station and fill in the details and handover the participant details on behalf of Altima. After the inspection is over and results had been passed on, Fung Wan received a token of participation, which serve as a proof that this concocting practitioner is enlisted into the Competition.

    Afraid of losing his job and have himself getting banished from faking a registration form, Fung Wan immediately look for Altima, begging him to help Fung Wan himself, and ask for forgiveness for acting rashly. As for Altima, who heard about all this, instead of getting angry, he is thankful towards Fung Wan instead, due to if this little mistake does not happen, how would Altima have the chances to participate in this Competition ?

    After assuring he will participate and will not cause Fung Wan to lose his job, Altima treated this case as solve and return towards his room for some additional Concocting practices.

    "I am Thanos Windsor, Holy Child from Aggressor Guild."

    "And I am Florencia Slinger, Holy Child from the Snow Maiden Alliance."

    "Shall we have all 500 Participants to come to the Centre of the stage please!"

    With a round of applause, the 500 Concocting Practitioners quickly appeared and march into the middle of the stage, while positioning themselves within the Concocting Cauldron and a table of tools for the concoction. On the table, a total of 10 Scrolls is placed on a standing shelf, which ready to be opened for its contents within.

    "For the first-day examination, we will be expecting the Practitioner to be able to Concoct a total of 100 units of 5 different kinds of Medicine, where based on luck, is arranged on the standing shelf. Participants are only allowed to choose one scroll at a time, and the target of 100 Units must be completely successful before they could move on to the next Scroll."

Lastly, is a special guest invited from the Dragon Gate Escort Agency, their Elder in Concoction Department, Elder Tung-Loong (Bronze Dragon) himself."

    "Shall we have the participants begin their concoction now?"

    With a bottle of chemical liquid is thrown on top of the air and exploded, the practitioners began to rush with their concocting trials. Taking out one of the scrolls from the Shelf, Altima unrolls the scroll to reveal its content, which is the recipe to craft an (Imitation Yang Essence Rejuvenating Pill). This pill belongs to the lower Grade Early Tier Life Preserving medicine. Without any difficulties in his concocting, Altima completes the Concoction within the time span of 15 Minutes.

    In his second scroll, Altima uncovers recipes to concoct a (Basic Healing Ointment). Easily, Altima completes the concocting within a 10 Minutes as well, but while he moves towards the third Scroll, some challenge finally came in. Within the third Scroll, the Content within is a certain recipe for the (Basic-Grade Tempering Pill). This pill is graded into the most basic grade, but for those who are yet to become a master, to succeed in this kind of Pills are still hardly achievable. Added with the requirement of completing 100 Units before jumping to the next scroll, Altima faces a slight challenge on his draws this time.

    Basic-Grade Tempering Pill - Low-Grade Early Tier Body Cultivation Resources

    Ingredient: (10) Morning Dew Leaf / (5) Demonic Beast Blood (Animal) / (5) Bloody Red Pearl / (1) Demonite Stone

    Success Rate: 20% if Concocted by Practitioner below 5th Stage, Above 25% if Concocted by Practitioner above 5th Stage.

    Without wasting time to ponder around to concoct the pills, Altima quickly put in his 100% attention in handling 5 Cauldron at the same time. Evenly Distribute the flame along each of the cauldrons and processing 4 different ingredients at the same time, Altima quickly processes the mixture of medicinal properties liquid in each of the Cauldron before he places it within the 5th cauldron, which is the most important part to fully concoct and solidify the Tempering Pills.

    Placing aside the failure medicine, Altima quickly produces a total of 20 Pills just in a timespan of 20 minutes, giving the crowd and the World of Concocting Alliance''s 3 Elder another show to look.

    If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.

    "Worthy of being one of the Alliance''s young concocting stars, this child actually could utilize his Yin-Yang Essence into this level of proficiency."

    "Elder Wen, this child''s Name ?", The Elder Tung-Loong from Dragon''s Gate Escort Agency started to make an inquiry.

    "Altima. Elder Tung-Loong is interested in him as well ?", Elder Wen quickly replied, based on the elder''s speaking tone, its seem that both of them are good friends since young.

    "Master Kong Rong, What do you think ?", Elder Kan immediately asks for Patriarch Kong Rong on his opinion regarding this young child.

    "Interesting! Kan, Chang, Wen, if the time permits it, you must allow this kid to come over to our Sacred Sword Mountain for a visit, he will have a great eye opener when he came in, maybe he won''t want to leave the mountain afterward!", Patriarch Kong Rong speaks happily.

    "It seems like the 5 Guest of honor is having a very good impression on this young child!", Holy Child Florencia started to pay attention towards Altima as well.

    Ignoring all the speaking and cheering amongst the crowd, Altima continues with his Medicine Concocting without a moment of hesitation and mistakes. Very quickly, the 100 units of Basic-Grade Tempering Pill is ready for the guest to inspect and place at their side for them to bring back after the first day of competition is over. As the Sponsors for this competition, many powerhouses is competing with each other to grab the best talent under their wings, so they could support the stability of their own power.

    In return for their sponsors, the successfully concocted medicinal pill naturally belongs to the powerhouse equally.

    Withdrawing the 4th scroll from the shelf, Altima is given the next assignment by processing another 100 Units of a similar (Yin Essence Recovery Pill), and later on his 5th scroll, Altima manage to select the (Balancing Zen Pill) as his final trial questions. Very quickly, Altima manages to complete a total of 500 units of 5 different medicine pills in a total of 4 hours, where only 1/3 of the participants manage to achieve. But not giving up his chance to obtain much more knowledge, instead of stopping on the 5th scroll, Altima continued with his 6th to 9th scrolls, which came out with some easy (Low-Grade Ointment), (Starvation Recovery Pellet), (Beatification Pellet), and (Vigour Enhancing Pill).

    With a few random health and cosmetic usage pills, Altima finally ready to withdraw the last scroll from the Shelf, before he was stopped by Elder Tung-Loong and Elder Wen.

    "Youngster! Stop!", Elder Tung-Loong immediately has Altima stopped from his action.

    "Young Altima, are you sure about this last scroll ?",Elder Wen asked.

    "Yes both honored Elder, I''ve decided to completely finish concocting all 10 scrolls of medicine before the first day is over."

    "Fine, then go along with it.", Elder Wen replied, and lead Elder Tung-Loong away from the stage.

    Withdrawing the scroll, Altima is shocked with the content written in this scroll.

    "This is the (Water Dragon Cannon). A most basic but hardly anyone knows the recipe kind of Battle Medicine."

    Unexpectedly, the Dragon''s Gate Escort Agency actually insert one of the agency''s personal recipe into this first day of the match to test the capability of the participants, where only 120 of them is still standing on the stage trying to finish concocting all 10 scrolls of medicine given.

    With no guide, experience, and samples to choose to pay attention to, all the practitioner on the 10th scroll started to give up in their test, and return to their seats due to the primary qualification to pass is successfully obtained. Altima, who reading the recipe, is cheating slightly by utilizing Mobi to scan for the initial information and how this Battle Medicine is made, shaped and prepared to use.

    Although Altima cheated a little, but this doesn''t mean the battle medicine will be easily concocted. Plenty of effort and imagination should be still place within during concoction, so the shape and effect will be increased into the best condition. After a total of 15 minutes of pondering in his mind, Altima finally decided on how he will start with this concoction.

    "This shape is compact and suitable for a person to hold, as well as the design of this will allow the method to keepsake this Weapon even easier and tidier. But in exchange of the easy housekeeping, the sacrifice of comfortable in tossing the Battle Concoction is inevitable." The elder commented on the third canister, which shapes like a test tube with a flat bottom.

    "I like this design of this 4th piece. The design of a prism shape is comfortable in your hand. The flow of essence energy is much more concentrated, where the application of Essence Energy could easily pierce the core of the cannon, completely charging them before it is launched toward the opponent and crack them hard in wherever you wish." The Elder give out a constructive comment on the fourth canister before he moves towards the next as well as the last among 5 different shapes.

    "Brother Mobi, actually, I have a better idea regarding the Battle Concoction casing," Altima says.

    "Pray Tell, my beloved bratty naughty and evil Brother," Mobi replied with a sarcastic tone.

    "Imagine if we could actually place the Extract of the battle Concoction within this casing of Bagua." Altima started to show the ability the Battle Concoction will achieve if they apply it within the form of Bagua elements.

    Adapting the ability of 8 x 8 Type of activation, the Bagua encased (Water Dragon Cannon) would have the ability to adjust and remodel into a total of 64 kinds of activation, where it will be activated through the Essence Energy with different channel, just to reach the Nature of Sky, Wind, Water, Mountain, Earth, Thunder, Fire and Lake.

    "Upper Heaven, Lower Earth, 12th Hexagram of Obstruction!", The hexagram activated above Duan Tian Ya, where the obstruction effect from the Water Dragon Cannon immediately form a shield, totally blocking his path to evade or escape from the remaining attack from left and right.

    "Upper Lake, Lower Water, 47th Hexagram of Confining!"

    "Upper Lake, Lower Flame, 49th Hexagram of Skinning!"

    With the left and right Water Dragon Cannon is activated, the destructive strength of Confining Hexagram manage to seal Duan Tian Ya''s strength from unknown Tier to the Spiritual Tier, while the Skinning Hexagram immediately seals Duan Tian Ya''s protection and offensive martial arts might, rendering him unprotected from inside out.

    "I''m sorry brother Tian Ya, this is the way little brother fights and obtain his advantages, if not, I will be not qualified enough to stand alongside with all of you!"

    Thousand Palm in One Strike! Combining the Dragon Raging Claw, 5th Stance of Essence Explosive Fist, Wu Di Long Fist, 2nd style of Zhen Wu Mountain Destruction Palm, and Lesser Yin Yang Fist, Altima manage to create a 5 strike combo skill in his attack, which manage to push Duan Tian Ya backward for a total of 2 Steps!

    Two Steps!

    Merely a Warrior Practitioner of a 7th Stage, have such an ability to push backward a King Practitioner of 2nd stage to move backward two steps is a miraculous feat. But unfortunately, with such bravado, came the consequences. If one would take a deeper look on Altima, through pulling such a feat, Altima had all his bones within the right arm cracked and few internally exploded injuries due to the clash between two different power.

    "Little brother Altima!", Yu Heng, being the closest among the two of them, rushed toward Altima to check on his injuries.

    "Luckily this is still manageable, Little brother, this is too rash! What will Brother Wu Di says when he saw your reckless attitude ?", Duan Yu Heng immediately poured a special kind of liquid ointment on the wound along Altima''s arm, where the ticklish feeling quickly wrapped along Altima''s arm and assist in the healing rate.

    "He would say, Are you trying to run away from fulfilling what you promised me before ?", a strong voice came from above, where Yang Wu Di appeared out of nowhere.

    "Brother Wu Di!", the three of them immediately feel surprised by his sudden appearance. Through his facial expression, it seems to be having a breakthrough in his cultivation recently.

    "Little brother, you are the youngest among all of us, and yet the most reckless among us."

    "I just feel like showing how strong I could fight too, in case big brother met fatal danger like a while ago. I believe even if now we are ambushed by more than an army of tier 5 above practitioners, I will still be able to help big brother to defend them at the cost of my life.", Altima says.

    "Ha Ha Ha! Great! Brothers! Let us have a good drink tonight, and view how our little brother performance for tomorrow shall we ?", Yang Wu Di is showered by the rain of affection and loyalty from all over his surrounding, given to him by his brothers.

    That night, the group of brothers cheerfully enjoy their sharing of wine, martial art exchanged, medicinal pill concocted by their youngest brother and as well as a friendly match between equally strong brothers. In the same time, Altima is introduced to the other few loyal brothers from the Yang Wu Di Faction as well.

    "Youngest thirteenth brother, I am your 11th big brother, just call me Meng De or big brother De.", Meng De introduced himself first, who came from the Holy Guardian Guild. Possessing a burly figure as well as the strength of 5th Stage of Spiritual Practitioner of Zen Tier.

    "Thirteenth brother, I''m your 12th brother Nan Fang Wu Di, just call me Nan instead next time."

    "Thirteenth brother, I''m your 10th brother Du Wen Xing."

    And so on, the other few brothers started to introduce themselves once again and getting closer to each other. With the time gone late, Altima excuses himself to return to the accommodation to prepare for his next day of competition. Which might be the last match?

    "Thank you and good day for you, ladies and gentleman from all over the Southern State.", Florencia Slinger started her speech first.

    "Even myself couldn¡¯t wait to announce today''s First seat, but before the 3rd day of Concocting competition started, shall we present the judges for today ?", Thanos Windsor continued.

    "Today, we are greatly surprised by his highness, Royal Prince Yang Wu Di to be one of our present judges as well as special guest, Along with his First Aide and trusted Military commander, Great General of Wu Di Family, Sir Guinness Quin."

    "Recently, there has been a havoc from the capital city, where they are currently celebrating the great news of his highness recent advancement, where our Royal Prince is current on the 7th Stage of King Practitioner of Zen, Standing side by side along with Sir Guinness himself."

    "And for the last Judge and guest, we are proud to manage to invite our Master concocting from the South, current Patriarch of the World of Concocting Alliance, our proud old master Grand Elder Shennong Shiwu to give each other greetings!"

    "Ahh¡­ Greatly.. Happy.. To see all of you here to.. Witness our next. Best Concocting Master."

    "To. The six of you.. Do your best.. And make us the southern proud."

    "You May.. Start now.", Stuttered and having difficulties in his speech, Grand Elder Shennong Shiwu seems to bear the appearance of a more than 500 years old man feature, with a short walking stick which made with a shining and brilliant Jade.

    It had been said that during the establishment of Wu Di Royal Family, Grand Elder Shennong had contributed almost all of his life to helping to bring where the Wu Di family is now. From the moment he found the recipe for the concoction of Balancing Zen Pill, Grand Elder had been contributing towards the Lan Shen Continent since then.

    For today Task, each participant is required to withdraw a scroll from the centre Recipe Shelf, which had been protected since the first day until now by the Grand Elder himself. Taking their turn, finally, Altima turn arrived, where he immediately select one scroll placed on the lowest part of the shelf, before he returns to his respective Concocting Station.

    Unveiling the content within the scroll, Altima finally has his first-time experience viewing a Medicinal Recipe with the Tier above Master Practitioner Grade.

    Small Spiritual Reviving Salve - Low-Grade Spiritual Tier Life Preserving Medicine

    Ingredient: (10) Blood of Medicinal Basilisk / (2) Extreme Yin Extract & Extreme Yang Extract / (1) Petals of Spirit Devouring Tree / (1) Parasitic Moss from Medicinal Skeleton King / (1) Flower of Spiritual Cactus

    Effect: One of the lowest Spiritual Tier Medicine for life preserving. This medicine usually came in the form of Edible or Applicable Salve, easy to carry as well as can be stacked into a large quantity for easier access.

    Success Rate: 15% if Concocted by 7th Stage Concocting Practitioner, Increased by 5% each stage.

    "It¡¯s a Spiritual Recipe, Altima actually draw a through Recipe for his test for today!"

    "Could he outmatch the expectation and the obstacle of rank, and create some miracles as we seen two days ago, or will he be failed to create any product this time ?"

    With the appearance of this Spiritual Recipe, although the shock of having the opportunity view the process of a Concocting of Spiritual Tier Medicinal Pills is amazing, but the anticipation of failure is higher, due to the practitioner''s ability are only at the rank of Warrior stage, never to mention, Altima is only at late 6th stage Concocting Practitioner after passing the two day of experience gaining from the competition.

    Without wasting another second, Altima immediately prepares his Concocting Station and started to use his best possible way to concoct this challenging Spiritual Tier Medicinal Pill. With Mobi assisting within Altima''s mind, the interface runs its best scanning to quickly decipher each of the Medicinal Value, and properties, to enhance the success rate of Altima Concoction, while Altima himself quickly prepare the ingredient to run a few trials before the full concoction could be started.

    Throughout this painful and crazy challenge, Altima tried from the refining process on the Basilisk blood, to the combination of both Yin and Yang Extract, the challenge of resisting the spirit suction from the Spirit Devouring Tree petals, as well as the parasitic Moss. Within the first hour, Altima only manages to resolve the easiest process, where he manage to process the Flower from Spiritual Cactus, and thoroughly refine all its extracts which thinly distribute along the roots and vein which ran across each of the flower petals.

    In the second hour, Altima finally manages to gather a large and sufficient moss tips, which is cleared and free from the parasitic properties. Soon, after the 4th-hour ends, Altima finally manage to separate the petals from the bark of the Spirit Devouring Tree, as well as combined both Yin and Yang Extract into a smooth yet rich liquid. Lastly, the Blood from Medicinal Basilisk successfully refined, leaving only the most important properties within.

    To began the concoction, Altima first Heat the Medicinal Cauldron with his strongest Essence Flame, before all ingredient is completely mixed within the cauldron to allow the mixture to take place. Very quickly, the mixture began to form a paste, before Altima use his tool to quickly stir and mix the paste evenly.

    Before long, while the paste almost reaches its complete consistency, a strand of Red coloured vines started to grow out from within Altima''s clothing. The strands of thin vines started to quickly envelop Altima, rendering Mobi useless and entrapped tightly on Altima wrist and losing control and spiritual link with Altima.

    Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.

    Very soon, under the supervision from all the other spectators, Yang Wu Di, and the announcer, Altima completely had himself wrapped thoroughly with this vines, and turn berserk.

    "Little Brother!", Yang Wu Di is the first to have a big reaction upon seeing this condition happened on Altima.

    "This is the Berserker Blood Parasite! To..to think that it had grown to such condition just through feeding this youngster Essence Energy.", Grand Elder Shennong is shocked as well, after witnessing this changes.

    "Guinness Corp, Protect the spectators!", General Guinness immediately had all his elite guards scattered around the Stage.

    "How rich is all this Yin Yang Energy around, Ahh Food!!", Neo Altima immediately speaks and growl in hunger, in where the Deadly Yin Yang Spear is wrapped with tight vermilion vines, strengthen the spear deadly aura almost significantly.

    Closest with the Neo Altima is the 2nd seat Bai-Ye, where he immediately become the main target of Neo Altima assault.

    "Gigantic Essence Triple Strike!", Bai-Ye immediately defends himself by launching a series of fist strike, strengthened with 6th Stage Warrior Practitioner Strength.

    "Die and become my meal! Dark Wheel of Tai JI!", with a swing of his arm, Neo Altima quickly crushes Bai-Ye''s fist strike with the Darkened Wheel of Tai JI, before he continues with his next attack.

    "No, you don¡¯t, Little Brother.", Yang Wu Di, being the first to approach Neo Altima, quickly immobilize him, and stop him from taking another step in killing Bai-Ye.

    "Big Brother, you are too busy body here!", Neo Altima immediately launches a triple strike from the Zhen Wu Mountain Destruction Palm, but easily defended by Yang Wu Di with his strength placed on the 5th stage, Spiritual Practitioner.

    "Argh! You are too annoying!", Neo Altima immediately moves away from Yang Wu Di''s reach, but easily catch up with him without any additional effort.

    As they both trying to take a move and chasing, the situation quickly got controlled, where even Grand Elder Shennong Shiwu came down from the Guest seat and getting close to both of them. After inspecting the battle and preparing some concoction through his sphere of Yin Yang Energy, Grand elder suddenly speaks loudly, disturbing both of them who countering each other''s attack.

    "Royal Prince, please restrict this young man."

    Without any difficulties, Yang Wu Di immediately had Neo Altima locked from next action, allowing Grand Elder to get close to Neo Altima without any difficulties.

    "Young Child, you are lucky for me to be here with the correct time and correct ingredient."

    With a swipe of hand, Grand Elder immediately apply the medicinal Concoction on Altima''s body, where the effect of the medicine quickly shown. The vines which enveloping his body quickly shrink back to the place where the concoction is poured, and quickly rolled up into a ball of yarn, but hideous and malicious. With the vines are all gathered into a smaller ball of yarn, Grand Elder Shennong applies another drop of different concoction, and thoroughly separate the ball from its host body, and enter the Medicine Jar. Trapped within, Grand Elder filled the Jar with the remaining concoction, and soon, the Jar finally stopped resisting.

    Soon, Altima finally awakened from his slumber, healed from the side effect of the Berserker Blood Parasite. Feeling himself freed from the burden carrying the Berserker Blood Parasite.

    "Little brother thanked both Big Brother and Grand Elder for your assistance in controlling the Berserker Blood Parasite.", Altima quickly regains himself, but Mobi keeps himself quiet due to the crowd around them are all powerhouse among the southern State.

    Without hesitating, Altima moves towards Bai-Ye as well and ask for forgiveness due to losing himself during the middle of concoction. After all this ordeal and distraction ends, the crowd finally return to their respective seats, while the participants to their station, and continue the Concocting competition.

    Long Story cut short, with sufficient time, Altima manage to receive plenty of information through his interface and the delayed off time created by the Berserker Blood Parasite, he manages to Concoct a total of 3 Small Spiritual Reviving Salve, thus obtaining the right to be placed on the first seat once again.

    With this all is over, the fourth day of Competition and Announcement of the top Concocter for the 251st Concocting Competition is finally announced, with Altima placed on the first seat, receiving a title of Youngest Earl for the South Eastern State. Being awarded with a title of Earl means Altima could travel within the South Eastern from now on, and proceed to enter the vicinity of Wu Di Royal City.

    Through this competition too, Altima finally realize the difference between Concocting Practitioner and masters, as well as the difference between a warrior Practitioner compared to a King Practitioner. With such motivation leading him forward, Altima Decided to push his limit towards greater heights, and shine from the back, assisting Yang Wu Di in his conquest to become the Conqueror of the Lan Shen Continent.

    Writer''s Note:

    Finally, The Concocting Competition is over, I hope you guys love it. Coming up Next, please expect more!

 Chapter 56 - Nine Yang Mortal Skill (Part 1) REVISED GRAMMAR UPDATES!

    Holding the title Earl for the South Eastern State, Altima proceeds slowly in an exploration pace, thoroughly exploring around the state before he reaches the Wu Di Royal City. In between of the way, Altima encountered a large amount of Demonic Beast as well as the ingredient, where he had it all gathered and refined into a sizable amount of Medicinal Pills to be presented as a gift to his brother and Wu Di Family Faction.

    On a fruitful encounter, Altima actually met a beautiful and untamed Warrior Grade Demonic Beast, the Silver Six-Tailed Fox. During the fateful meeting, Altima rescued this injured Six-Tailed Fox when it is chased by a large number of Demonic Dark Hounds. Similar to Silver Six-Tailed Fox in the term of strength, the Demonic Dark Hound is always well known to be the off breeder, where they are often being found ravaging different type of beast to copulate and creating different gene of Demonic Dark Hounds.

    "Get the Hell lost from here!", Altima shouts on the pack of 6 male hounds before he swings his spear around and had all of them escaped along with their lives.

    With the pack of hounds running away, Altima spends some time treating the Silver Six-Tailed Fox, applying many different methods due to the different constitution between Beast and Human. In the end of the 3rd hour spent on treating its injuries, Altima finally manages to save the fox from death, thus receiving its loyalty.

    Naming the Fox (Silvia), Altima proceeds with to the Royal City, only to stumble upon a Spatial Portal Next.

    "Brother Mobi, check the Spatial Realm.", Altima quickly had his brother inspect the spatial Portal, while he himself explore the surroundings for any abnormality, as well as the safety and condition around this portal.

    "Little bro, this portal seems to be opened randomly in different time, if we miss this opportunity, who know when we can stumble on this realm ever again.", Mobi quickly sends his thought to Altima.

    "Brother Mobi, if in that case, let us quickly enter the Spatial Portal, my inspection sense nothing different on the surrounding.", Altima quickly makes his decision and enter the spatial Portal without a second thought along with Silvia.

    Being transferred on a rough spatial travel, Altima finally enters a wide tunnel, where it could fit at least 10 adults standing in a wide distance. Checking on the murals etched on the walls, Altima notice a few specific drawing which had been repeated all over again on the wall, with only a few different limbs on each. Taking precaution on his surrounding, Altima quickly had the interface scanned the surrounding before he makes any move.

    After he meditates for a total of 1 hour, the Report from Interface Scanning finally came, but no information is obtained except a rough sketch of the map is displayed. By taking in consideration on the possibility of traps is still active within this tunnel, Altima summons Victor and Vector deployed by his side. With both Goblin Berserker around, Altima has a greater confidence to explore this tunnel safely along with his way.

    But out of his expectation, the journey along the path is safe and sound, without a single living being is spotted except more and more murals along the wall. Allowing Mobi to remember and save the picture of each mural, Altima quickly reaches the end of the Tunnel, where it leads to a dome shape hall. Within the hall, a total of 96 Doors is arranged in a set of 11 Bottom Doors and 1 Upper Door, and divided into a total of 8 set, almost identical to the Diagram in Bagua.

    Standing in the Middle of the Centre Podium, Altima notices a total of 8 different Gemstone attached in the middle of the podium, where he could inject a sizable amount of Yin and Yang Essence Energy into the Gem to activate the formation.

    "Seems like within this 96 doors, there Is only 64 correct Doors to be opened and challenged. Perhaps I should follow the arrangement from the starting of the tunnel to the end. Brother Mobi, can you came out with a pattern or arrangement plan ?"Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

    "Perhaps we can start trying from the Upper and Lower Heaven Arrangement ?"

    With Immediate action, Altima quickly starts his first try to control the Gem. Shaping his Yin and Yang Essence into the Shape of 43rd Hexagram of Displacement, Altima had his Essence Energy injected into the gemstone and activate the formation. A slight tremor and growls came out from the opening door, along with a Strong Demonic Beast, as if it''s ready for the challenge from this human.

    "Growl!"

    Without notice, the Demonic Beast charge toward Altima, putting him as the target to be eliminated without prejudice. The beast starts by swinging its strong and quick claws trying to decapitate Altima into shreds, but within Altima expectation, he immediately moves aside from the reach of the Demonic Beast before swinging his spear directly and immobilizes one of its claw, while Victor and Vector combined their attack on both of the beast''s rear limbs.

    Being attacked from 3 directions, the beast quickly ran out of its patience, and came with a howling attack, trying to intimidate the others before it looks for a target to charge forward. But with Altima''s quick wit, he immediately had Victor and Vector pair to hide in the blind spot behind the beast''s tail, thus allowing Altima to Launch a strong Spear raining attack to thoroughly disturb the Demonic Beast.

    "5th Stance of Yuan Wu Spear of Castle Breaking."

    Slowly descending from the top of the Demonic Beast, Altima raised his spear and attack towards the whole body and head of the beast, quickly destroying the battle power possess by the beast. In the end, the beast finally defeated and thoroughly dismembered and the Skull is opened into two, revealing a Piece of Dark Golden Bead. Obtaining the first piece of Dark golden Bead, Altima places this bead onto the 43rd slot hole arranged around the podium.

    Repeating the same procedures, Altima quickly had the remaining 55 doors opened and defeated the beast accordingly until he is left with the remaining 8 Upper Doors. Following the same procedure and diagram according to the mural, Altima finally release the very first strong Demonic Beast, almost double the strength compared to all the Demonic Beast Altima fight previously.

    Threat Level: Stage 3 Master Practitioner of Zen Tier

    "It has been so long past since I last feast on a human. Despicable humans, I will return to freedom once again after I kill you!", Shailar charges like a lightning bolt and appearing in front of Altima instantly.

    Swinging the claw with a strength that could uproot a tree, Shailar had Altima pressured and tossed aside before it continues with the next attack, but within Altima''s calculation, A wave of Zhen Wu Mountain Destruction Palm take its initiative strike, landing a triple hit on Shailar''s Abdomen before it could react. With the landing of 3 hit, Shailar is taken to the ground, growling from the extreme pain before it stands up once again on all four, and quickly increase its distance with Altima.

    Unexpected by Shailar, During the moment Altima launches his wave of attack, Victor and Vector are summoned and positioned nicely behind Shailar''s blind spot, where in the next moment, Victor and Vector charge out with their full strength and give Shailar an attack it will never forget. But unfortunately, A Warrior Practitioner is still a wide gap of distance to reach its strength to easily kill a Master Practitioner.

    Due to the lack of damage within Altima''s Attack, Shailar once again manages to gain its momentum and move along the uneven terrain to escape and looking for a perfect opportunity to counter Altima''s 3 person team. But as Shailar slowly losing its patience, it quickly exposes some rashness of the fiery temper, and charge head on towards Vector, who is the weakest among the three.

    But!

    Without noticing the fourth opponent hiding, Silvia the Silver Six-Tailed Fox manage to catch Shailar undefended. A rain of steel needle-like fur, piercing through all the defensive ability Shailar have and blinded the right eye before it reaches Vector''s spot. Taking in this advantageous situation created by the team, Altima decided to end this battle in a hurry, where a Little Moon of Yin and Little Sun of Yang is formed on both sides of Altima''s Palm, and thoroughly Freeze and Burn Shailar''s body into an unaccountable carcass.

    With the battle is over, Shailar''s body soon disintegrate into ashes, leaving only a Huge Essence Stone as well as a Piece of bigger and more radiant Dark Golden Bead. Controlling his urge to continue with the opening of next door, Altima decided to further his cultivation for now, as he believes that, the next 7 remaining doors are the most challenging and deadly trial he would ever face before he could enter deeper within this Spatial Realm.

 Chapter 57 - Nine Yang Mortal Skill (Part 2)

    "Guess I will need to sacrifice the ingredients I had it stored for big brother Yang first.", Altima talked to himself, lamenting about how poor he is, due to the required Cultivating Medicine he required is an enormous figure.

    "Stop being stingy on this matter. You will be able to Concoct more of the medicine with better quality in the future. Just utilize this portion of Cultivating Resources first."

    "Well, I got no other choice or option anyway."

    With a short conversation end between the brothers, Altima quickly starts his cultivation training, where all 3 option points are used on Martial Art Refining, Plantation Realm plantations, and lastly the Essence Resources Realm. Currently, one more Action points are still occupied on the Scanning progress on the Ancient Scroll - Second Chapter.

    Within the spatial realm, the time flow is slightly different than outside, Similar to how a Training Realm Properties should have, Altima sensed that the time flows within this Realm and his own personal Spatial realm is slightly different.

    Ignoring the heartache of spending all the available cultivating resources, Altima quickly assimilates all the Balancing Zen Pills with the amount of 100,000 Unit each time. With the effect barely reach one tenth of what Altima required, he ends up assimilating all the resources available and manage to reach the 9th Stage Warrior Practitioner of Zen Tier after cultivating for a total of 10 Days.

    Within that 10 days as well, Altima manage to push his limit, breaking through the 15th Essence Absorption Door, pushing his limit of 65,000 Energy Capacity previously into a 150,000 Energy Capacity currently. With this Enormous amount of capacity, Altima easily pushed himself above any regular practitioners and a few Master Practitioners too.

    Through the Plantation Spatial Realm, Altima manages to spend a period of time to prepare a few ingredients to assist himself in producing Boosting Zen Pill. With this kind of arrangement, Altima could maintain his other available time to master his Martial Arts as well as checking on his available Spatial realm produces. Slowly but stable, Altima''s stash of precious ingredients increased as the day passed.

    Without noticing the time, Altima had spent a total of 2 month worth of time within this Spatial Realm, Utilizing every second to strengthen his battle capability and martial prowess, Altima finally breaks through the border of Warrior Practitioner, and join the Master Practitioner of Zen Tier cultivators.

    This time, Altima take his initiative to launch the first attack. Grabbing his Deadly Yin-Yang Spear, Altima charge following his spear after he launches the first stance of Yuan Wu Spear of Castle Breaking.

    "Damn! This fella is seriously skilful in his each action. But why in the Traits it''s written extremely Aggressive ?", Altima felt slightly dejected by the behaviour shown by the beast but still, tries to approach it safely without losing his patience.

    Carefully exchanging a few strikes, Altima notices the changes happening on the Demonic beast. The python starting to act slightly out of control, sometimes delaying the main body for taking up a strike. With this issue continue, the Demonic Beast started to lose its temper. Soon, this beast entering a berserk mode, getting more and more aggressive as it moves on with some resistance from its tail.

    Out of surprise, the python actually starting to deform itself, where the tail quickly ends up being a stubble on the backside of the Demonic Beast, where the next transfiguration giving Altima even more surprises. The scales along the python starts to wrap over the Demonic Beast''s Skin, where instead of standing on four, the shapeshifting beast started to stand on two limbs and growing bigger and bigger until it reaches at least 3 metres in height.

    Within 5 Minutes, the takeover from the Cockatrice Demonic Beast becoming a hideous Reptile Demonic Beast is completed. Giving out no notice or warning at all, Golanks immediately answer all Altima''s question with a fist directly toward Altima, which he spontaneously defended with the body of the spear. But this doesn¡¯t help as Altima is forced to be pushed backwards until he slammed on one of the gigantic pillars across the Dome.

    "I guess this is where the part extremely aggressive is spot on!", Altima speaks to himself and quickly activate his (Demonic Body Enhancement Art). With his body started to grow even muscular, Altima readjusts his form, before he charges towards Golanks with (Small Circle of Tai JI) in both of his palms. In the same time, Altima had his (Zhen Wu Golden Bell Technique) pushed to its limit, bringing himself into a shining golden body.

    With this first initial clash, both sides are comparable, without anyone gaining the advantage from the exchange. Soon, the exchange of blows getting more and more serious, in which Altima started to receive few injuries each time they are separated from the fight. Feeling this fight cannot be going any longer, Altima purposely feint a release of caution posture, in which Golanks immediately charge without any hesitation.

    But a regret is the world most incurable disease. Taking advantage of this moment, Altima immediately greets Golanks charge with a (Yin Essence Bone Corroding Claw), followed with the (Second Verse of Thousand Hand Buddha Palm) on Golanks chest, causing the Demonic Beast to spit a large amount of blood from the damage.

    But Altima''s Attack has not ended. Holding the spear high enough to allow the Tip of the spear to aim directly towards Golanks head, Altima charge toward this beast with the (Fourth Stance of Yuan Wu Spear of Castle Breaking), and finally won this match by destroying the opponent head.

    Collecting the drops once again, Altima went over towards the podium once again, and place the next bead in the designated slot. Continue with the challenge, Altima finally finishes clearing the remaining 6 Demonic beast and had all the beads placed correctly on the podium.

    Next, the centre of the podium finally activated, acting as a lift, Altima slowly descends from where he stands currently, and entering deeper underground.

 Chapter 58 - Nine Yang Mortal Skill (Part 3)

    As the Podium, which turned into a lift slowly descend, Altima makes sure he note and investigate all the mural and carvings all around the wall as they go deeper, where after a total of 20 Minutes of descending, he finally arrived at the destination.

    Launching two (Flaming Sun of Yang Technique) fireball to slowly proceeds from the lift, Altima enters the open area slowly, just to notice a total of 8 golden statues, with a height reaching at least a 3 Storey building. Each of the statues held a Brazier to lit the fire, so Altima proceeds to launch the third and fourth (Flaming Sun of Yang), bringing the opened area into brightness.

    Brightened and clear, the opened area turn out to be a huge Interconnecting Central to many different places. Categorize by the Statue, it is very likely to say, according to the arrangement of the Bagua formation, the North Formation of Water should be used to held the Room for Life. Without required to explore, Altima could deduce that the Living quarters should be positioned in the North Position, behind the statue.

    Without wasting any more of his time, Altima proceeds to the Northeast Statue, which holding the formation of (Mountain). Mountain in Bagua stands for keeping still and bound. With this category of affinity, it is the most suitable direction to look for treasure. After walking for a total 30 minutes into the deeper tunnel, Altima finally reaches a huge 5 storey building height Door, which made from at least 5,000 Tonnes of Pure Briolite.

    Maintaining his Essence Energy Injection, Altima keeps his focus on sending the Mountain Bagua inscription energy without stopping, until the door finally move after he repeatedly does the process for one whole hour. Luckily for Altima, due to the fact he stepped into the Master Practitioner Stage, this coincidently helps Altima in maintaining his Essence Energy without getting depleted.

    Soon, the Door finally opened after spending 6 hour nonstop in injecting the Mountain Bagua Inscription Energy. Entering the Mountain Formation Vault, Altima felt that his negative energy surrounding him is totally cleansed when he step within. Looking on the Mountain of Ingredients, Precious medicine and cultivating resources arranged beautifully, Altima felt like he had gotten rich within a second.

    If it''s compared, even if Altima possess his previously used cultivation resources and multiply by 100, his treasure is still barely comparable to 1% of the treasure he is seeing currently. But without losing himself, Altima proceed with the scanning and searching around, looking for traps and guards before he starts to plunder all the available resources for himself.

    Exploring around the Vault, Altima spotted a Pool filled with Demonic Beast Core.

    Pool of Hundred Beast Cores (1st stage)

    Usage: converting Demonic Beast Core of any kind in one similar base core, usable to concoct any medicine or Cultivating resources. The Demonic core as well could be replaced as an ingredient in Blacksmithing, giving additional enhancement to the tools crafted.

    Rarity: 16/25 among the Concocting Path, 31/50 among the Blacksmithing Path.

    "Brother Mobi, can this Pool be moved into the Spatial Realm ?"

    "Maybe, but you will need to constantly add more and more Beast Core into the pool to ensure the pool could be grown into higher stage later."

    "It''s this is possible, we will be able to harvest a good amount of ingredient for concocting in future, after all, I have a large number of Demonic Beast Core in hand but none of them could be used."

    Very quickly, Altima had Gunther prepare some Container, so they could start moving the pool with its essence water into Altima''s personal Spatial Realm. As the first stage Pool is barely contained more than 200 Galleon of Essence water, Altima quickly harvests all the available Common Beast Core, while entering his spatial realm and place all his available Demonic Beast core into the essence Pool, hoping the result would work magically.

    Next, as the Pool within the Mountain Vault is covered with the soil Altima move from his Spatial realm, he started to explore deeper into the vault, but except the Pool and the mountain of resources, Altima sense no other valuable treasures within this room. To make sure, Altima had the interface scan the Vault, to reveal any hidden passages, room or treasure, but none to be found, which conclude Altima''s worry.Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.

    With a Moving Spatial Storage like Mobi, thoroughly sweeping the Mountain Vault clean is not an impossible answer. As the group move, all the item belong to the vault is keep accordingly to their type, category, and age, ready to consume and required processing, all of the item is completely plundered, leaving only an empty Vault Room within.

    Exiting the Vault, Altima not even allow the Door made of Pure Briolite to escape from his plunder. Utilizing his (Spirit Moon of Yin Technique) and (Flaming Sun of Yang Technique), Altima first freezes the Door into the lowest temperature he could apply on the door before he forcibly destroys the door bit by bit through the strength of Yang Energy. With this, Altima can nicely conclude that he cleared the first Vault.

    Returning to the Central Intersection, Altima next head to the Southeast, ignoring the East Intersection as the East Intersection stands for Thunder Formation. The thunder formation is most likely been used to be Prison of a dangerous character. Or the thunder formation could be used to keep special relics, which could assist the owner of the Spatial realm in case of emergency. But based on the condition of this spatial realm, the first guess is likely to be more accurate than the latter.

    Reaching the Wind Formation Gate on the Southeast, Altima proceed along the tunnel, only to see an open space, filled with strong papyrus which could withstand the strength of Time. The papyrus is all still intact and beautifully hang along the wall and every section, creating almost a maze of cultural knowledge. Information such as how to utilize the Yin Yang Essence, Farming and Agriculture, Blacksmithing, Beast Taming, Cultivation and Spatial Realm Management is all read and remembered by Altima.

    Knowledge of the Extinct Yang Humanoid Tribe

    Usage: Increase Efficiency of Interface by 10%

    With all the knowledge had been fully studied by Altima within this 1 month time, it''s finally time again for him to move onwards to the next door, which is the south door, holding the Fire Formation. As usual, Altima proceeds along into the tunnel, but at the end of the Tunnel, instead of facing a door, or a workshop, he is greeted with a large Weapon Arsenal.

    Weapon made by Arsalite, Briolite, Neolite!

    Defensive equipment, Shields, Siege Weapons!

    Metal for weapon crafting! Gemstone for magical embedding!

    A total treasure room dream by all the blacksmith. Without wasting a moment, Altima quickly grabs all available treasures and material placed within the arsenal, and finally came across a piece of thin and light material made Garment. This garb emits a special Shine and compares to the other weapon and equipment place along the shelves, this is the only item placed on top of a mannequin, and not covered by any dust at all, after being abandoned by so long.

    Utilizing the Scanning system on this Garment, Altima immediately put on the garment without remorse, once the scanning result came out.

    Feather-light Neolite Garb

    - Enhance Wearer capability and defensive ability toward Yin and Yang Essence Energy by 100%.

    - Invulnerable to any corroding and destruction (Garb is indestructible).

    - Upon Blood contract, Garb is not transferable to another new owner except the previous owner is deceased.

    Returning to the central, Altima next proceed towards the Southwest Door, with the Earth Formation. Being surprised by nothing but a whole lot of dead plantation which hardly has the lifespan of more than 10,000 Years. But there are a few plants is still available for Altima to collect, which include a 10,000 Year Medicinal Essence Lingzi, as well a 20,000 years Medicinal Blood Herb.

    Next, moving up to the West, with the Lake formation, with the meant to bear and give life, and tranquillity. Leaving his expectation aside, Altima rough guess hit the correct point. Due to the neglected of care and attention within this spatial realm, all the beast end up died and only their carcasses are left. Gathering all the remains that possibly useful for Concoction and Blacksmithing, Altima move towards the Northwest Gate, which is the 7th gate, before he tried to open the 8th gate.

    The northwest gate is placed together with the Heaven Formation, which bears the Force and Strong Creativity strength. This type of formation usually good for creating some cultivation room, as well to store plenty of martial arts. Entering this vault, Altima ends up with some already broken cultivation room, as well as a lot of broken shelves and martial art scroll end up destroyed everywhere.

    Checking and scanning around the room, Altima notices a special compartment hidden away from the other shelves. This compartment is big enough to keep one chest within, and very quickly, Altima manage to spot this hidden compartment, thus withdrawing the chest hidden within. Unlocking the chest and unveiled the hidden treasure, Altima finally found this Rare Martial art Scroll.

    Nine Yang Mortal Skill (Early Spiritual Practitioner of Zen Martial Arts)

    Skill Description: Through utilizing the Nine Yang Conversion method, this martial art allows the user to fully control the Yang Essence within his Dantian (Core) and surrounding, to Shape, Heal, Protect and Attack as the user wish. By mastering this Martial Art, the user will have a perfect Foundation in Yang Essence Control.

    Skill Effect: Increase of 3 Times Efficiency, Absorption, Creation and Control in Yang Essence Manipulation.

    Founding this martial art gave Altima a total surprise, as the continent currently perhaps have none of the martial art similar to this. Without wasting any time, Altima proceeds to select the best condition Cultivation room and activate the formation within so he could quickly start mastering this Martial Art.

 Chapter 59 - Nine Yang Mortal Skill (Part 4)

    Activating the Yin Yang formation within the one and only usable training room, Altima wastes no time to start his cultivation and training to learn the Martial Art. Up to the standard of being the one of the Yang Based Humanoid Tribe, the training room, although slightly destroyed and unstable, is still manage to emit a strong and dense Yang Essence Energy which is perfect for Altima to train his newly obtained (Nine Yang Mortal Skill).

    Fruitful harvest came one after another, where due to Altima previously learned the Nine Yin Divine Skill during his previous life, added with the skill simplification process done by the Interface, Altima manage to obtain the First Yang Stage after putting two weeks worth of time into learning. By the end of his 2nd Month in training, Altima finally conclude his training after being kept within this Spatial Realm for a total of 4 Month.

    With the Training of (Nine Yang Mortal Skill) reaching the Second Yang Stage, Altima believes even if a Middle Stage Master Practitioner will find it hard to suppress Altima battle power. Going through the Water Formation, North direction, Altima roughly run through the room, found nothing except a few historical book regarding the tribe prosperous era until their demise, and heads toward the Thunder formation.

    As the Thunder Formation door is opened, Altima is greeted with a Gigantic Python, Standing firm and tall as the door is opened, but no life sign could be seen from this Standing python.

    "I am thoroughly Shocked, Brother.", Altima releases his breath, as he found out that the python is dead.

    "Same here, who would imagine, one of the Top 10 Heavenly Beast could be seen in front of our eyes as the door is opened.", Even Mobi had a hard time to digest his fear in that short moment.

    With a simple scan from the interface, the brothers explore the Thunder Room, only to found an Egg, filled and wrapped with the Yin and Yang Energy around. Altima proceeds to touch the egg but stopped as Mobi suddenly scream.

    "Stop!!!"

    "What happen, brother ?"

    "This Yin and Yang energy, it bears the elemental of Space and Time."

    "Space and Time ? Can we cultivators possess such strength ?"

    "It is possible, Don''t forget I am Universal "Grade" Slime too. I possess a slight but weaker energy, but it still belongs to Space and Time Properties."

    "So what do you think this egg is ?"

    "My Nutrition!!"

    As Mobi finish his word, he transformed from the Bracelet around Altima''s wrist, into his slime form again, and devoured the Egg without worries. Immediately a Prompt Notice came into their sight.

    "Private Cultivating Farm Complete!"

    "Notice!"

    "Due to private Cultivating Farm is opened, User currently could Utilize this farm for All Spatial Realm Usage. All Spatial Realm Available within Interface will be Deleted and Reassign into New Cultivating Farm."

    With a whoosh sound, immediately Altima felt that his Spatial Realm had a huge change. The previous separated Spatial Realm is gone, while one huge Land within his Interface appeared. Spacious enough to be comparable with a City, Altima notices the appearance of Victor and Vector, Gunther, and Silvia within the Land.

    "Master! Land go boom, many things mix! Now One big house, all together.", Said Victor.

    "My Lord! There are Mining caves within the West, I can mine for better materials for Blacksmithing now!", Gunther said cheerfully.

    "My Lord, the Essence is strong."

    Unable to speak, Silvia just goes to Altima side to be petted, while wrapping around Altima''s limb as a gesture of attention seeking.

    After walking around and exploring the Land, Altima roughly obtains all the information available within this Cultivation Farm.

    Private Cultivation Farm (Stage 1)

    North - First Rate Yin Essence Emperor Dragon Root / Yang Essence Monarch Dragon Marrow (500% Essence Production) / Yin Yang Cultivation Circle (Increase Cultivation Rate by 100%)

    West - First Rate Mineral and Metal Vein (Arsalite, Briolite, Neolite / Coal, Elenium / Dark Soulless Crystal)

    Centre - Vault of 8 Diagram.

    Exiting his spatial realm, Altima proceeds to scan the dead corpse of the Heavenly Beast before he proceeds to harvest the available material still on the Python.

    Jade Scale Emperor Python - Stage 1 "Child" Heavenly Beast

    Description: Growing up through feasting on the purest Yin essence as food, with the powerful Demonic beast as nutrition, Jade Scale Emperor Python is well known to be the overlord whenever they nest on. Strong and Durable, a natural Hunter if provoked. Its low birth rate is compensated with the Python extremely long lifespan, range to around 50,000 Years to 500,000 Years.

    Threat Level: 1st Stage Early Practitioner of Kun Tier (Kun = Mountain in Bagua)

    An Overwhelming strength.

    Totally incomparable, and deadly. If this python is released into the wilderness, perhaps the whole Lan Shen Continent will be treated as the food source for this python. Even all cultivator combined their strength, they won''t be able to contend with this heavyweight champion, which had a cultivation of Early Kun Tier since birth.

    Exiting the Spatial Realm, Altima finally returns to the South Eastern State. Rushing on his journey, the 1st Stage Master Practitioner now charge toward the Wu Di Royal City, with a double speed compared to when he was still a Warrior Practitioner. Within two days, Altima finally reaches the Wu Di Royal City and was greeted warmly but the Wu Di Royal Troops belonged to Yang Wu Di Faction.

    With the celebration and grand meeting with the current emperor, and the basic ordeal to pass through for an Earl to obtain his own piece of land and estate, Altima finally ends this hectic life after 5 days within the Capital. Getting to know around the Capital, Altima notice there seems to be Three Faction standing strong within the capital. First is the strongest, which is the Wu Di Royal Faction lead by Yang Wu Di.

    Trying hard to maintain the capital''s performance and training strong troops, Yang Wu Di waste no time in training his elites personally, while all his lower ranked troops often dispatched to the outer capital to complete some difficult and challenging task.

    "Younger Brother Altima, shall we spar for a little ?", Nan Fang Wu Di offered.

    "That would be great, where should we start ?"

    "Let us go to the General Square."

    With the pair of brothers reaches the General Square, A large number of soldiers and practitioner already prepared the Stage for both Altima and Nan Fang to spar with each other. This kind of Sparring had been going on for almost two weeks, where Altima, the youngest earl within the capital, keep accepting challenges from various cultivator from many different sects, and factions.

    One of his most amazing and beautiful Victory is during the match between Altima with the Core disciple of Holy Beast Alliance. With the opponent having the cultivation of 5th Stage of Master Practitioner, Altima easily competes with this Man and beast combo, just through his 1st Stage of Master Practitioner strength.

    Starting the fight with Nan Fang, Altima dare not to neglect his opponent strength. With even Yang Wu Di and their uncle are watching, Altima unleashed a series of (Thousand-Hand Buddha Palm) and (Wu Di Long Fist). Looking at the near perfection Fist art performed by Altima, Even the Wu Di family members are all shocked with how unfathomable Altima''s martial art mastery.

    With the rain of palm and fist clashed with each other, Nan Fang and Altima landed into a stalemate situation, where both of them starting to lose their patience.

    "Wu Di Lightening Body Skill!", Nan Fang immediately soars up to the sky, before he started with his Next Attack.

    "Little Brother, be careful! (Thousand Troops, Hundred War Horses Chain Fist)"

    "Brother Nan Fang, please be careful as well!", With a reply, Altima prepares himself with a twin Orb appearing on both sides of his hand.

    "(Spirit Moon of Yin) & (Flaming Sun of Yang) Combo!"

    "This child, Day by day his cultivation and martial art prowess are increasing without any sign of stopping. He can be really labelled as a genius in his range of age."

    With their uncle is impressed with how deep Altima comprehension in the martial art, Yang Wu Di himself too, eager to enter the match together to compete. Then, this all happen as according to what Yang Wu Di wish.

    "Brothers! Why not join your big brother for a sparring as well ?"

    The appearance of Bai Loong and Du Wen Xing immediately startled their two youngest brothers, but as they both maintain their calmness, Altima immediately come out with his Second Yang Stage (Nine Yang Mortal Skill), while Nan Fang retaliates their Spiritual Rank Brother attack with a (Wu Di Heaven Breaking Fist).

    Without waiting, even General Guinness and Yang Wu Di join the Spar. Both king practitioners takes a side, with Yang Wu Di with Altima and Nan Fang, while Guinness with Bai Loong and Du Wen Xing. A match between 6 youngest and strongest genius, their sparring immediately show as the proof of how strong a person could be with enough effort is placed on their training.

    But out of surprise, Altima suddenly retreat to a corner side of the Stage, before he continues.

    "All big Brother, Please be careful with your youngest brother massive attack!"

    "There you go, I know you are not that kind of being suppressed by bigger groups."

    "Formation of Confining, Formation of Holding, Formation of Obstruction, Formation of Force!"

    Tossing a few Water Dragon Cannon, Altima immediately forces the group of 5 struggling to defend against his 4 Formation attack. To confirm his strength, Altima add the Second Yang Stage strength into his limit and charge toward with (Sixty-Four Continuous Unbroken Fist!)

    Pushed to the edge by Altima, Guinness and Yang Wu Di have no choice but to strike seriously as well, where they both push their strength to the King Practitioner stage and destroy the formation. With the formation is broken, they both met with the next rain of attack, the Sixty-Four fist!

    Defending themselves, the group of five finally manage to defend themselves, before Altima finally out of breath and barely able to continue standing.

    "Youngest Brother! This skill totally kill all of us!"

    "Yeah, if you have ability higher than Spiritual or Dao Practitioner, we will be thoroughly defeated."

    Ending the sparring with much praise and awe, the group of 6 brothers finally leave the General Square and end their day with a few drinks, discussion, and martial art enlightenment.

 End of First Arc.

    Very fast, The end of the year arrived. But to compare with the previous year, this time, the tension is visibly seen between the East and the South. Before the end of the year approached, The East side happens to take the advantage, by forcing their troops to expand the East border. Throughout the 1 week of sudden hostility, The East managed to capture a total of 2 Town and 7 Village before their advance is stopped by the Wu Di Royal Faction.

    Lead by the 11th brother Meng De, he quickly pushes back a portion of advancing soldiers from the east, but unfortunately, the trap is laid perfectly, where Meng De is ambushed by a total of 10 Spiritual Practitioner of Zen. Heavily injured, Meng De troops slowly got pushed to the edge before Yang Wu Di is forced to request assistance from Du Wen Xing and Feng Xian Han, but unfortunately, both brothers had travel towards the Freezing Southern for their Clan Once a year event.

    At the final decision, Altima and Nan Fang finally Is sent to the battlefield, alongside with 15 Spiritual Practitioner Captains from Yang Wu Di personal team. Taking the lead, Altima charge towards the clashing point while Nan Fang and another 5 Spiritual Practitioner Captains taking the task to follow up along with the considerable speed. Within 3 days, Altima finally reaches the battlefield, where without giving any mercy, Second Stage of Nine Yang Mortal Skill is immediately performed, where it incinerates the targets who trying to get close to Meng De.

    "11th Brother!", Altima immediately gets close to Meng De side, followed by the other 10 Captains while keeping Meng De injuries in check.

    "I''m still able to fight, little brother. Allow me to take the medicine and let me participate the fight again.", Said Meng DeThe genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

    "11th brother, Big brother say you should rest, let me and Nan Fang handle the rest.", Finishing his word, Altima proceeds to assign two captains to escort Meng De to retreat, while leading the 8 captains to take over the commanding badge and assign them to the respective location.

    With the 8 captains standing in 8 different directions, Altima utilizes the chances he got to prepare the well lit Water Dragon Cannon before he passes it to every captain.

    "Captains! Get ready for the formation!", Altima had all of them prepared for the upcoming tricks.

    Awaiting the incoming enemy troops, the team of 9 people tries their best effort to hold their ground before the battlefield is overrun by the cultivators from the east. Surrounded by at least a total of 30,000 Soldiers from between 8th Warrior Practitioner, to Master and even Spiritual Practitioners, the formation they laid finally getting weaker and weaker.

    "Now!", Altima shouts loudly, allowing all the captains to immediately toss the Water Dragon Cannon high up towards the sky.

    Explosions happened in all 8 directions, and very quickly, a vortex started to appear within the 8 explosion point.

    With the 8 diagram formation is well deployed, the enemy troops started to be affected by various symptoms scattered along the hexagonal area, some getting their strength devoured, some is affected by gravity, some started to fall into nightmare and hallucination.

    "Everybody, Retreat!", Altima quickly leads all his remaining troops and make a swift retreat, emptying the battlefield and leaving the enemy troops still affected by the symptoms, where they will be dead later after the effects are over.

    With this retreat, the balances of the 3 royal families started to get swayed over to the Qin Family.

    But, this doesn¡¯t mean the Wu Di Royal Family is retreating. In exchange, the Wu Di Royal Family started to recruit a larger amount of troops and creating higher numbers of provision, cultivating resources to maintain their expenditure. The time passed very quickly, where currently, 3 years has passed, Altima finally reaches his 11th Age.

    Within the time span of 3 years, many things have changed.

 Chapter 60 - After 3 Years!

    Within the previous 3 years, the Qin Army marching slowly and started to overtake the land between the borders toward the North and the South. Feeling the conquest is starting to get into the eyes of the ruler of North and South, the two superpowers begin to suppress their progress, but to no avail, the East is getting stronger every single day, where a number of Spiritual Practitioner started to swarm into the battlefield without any limits.

    Rumors had it. The story regarding on how the Qin family manage to secure a spatial realm with a bountiful and fat land covering around 5000 acres, fully grown with cultivating resources, rare materials for concoction as well metal materials for weapon constructions. With the Qin Royal family handling this spatial realm, a large number of slaves, and workers had been transported into the realm to enhance its production.

    In the same time, the West had some movement as well. In about one year ago, the West suddenly decided to open their borders, allowing trading and exchange of information, martial arts, migration and culture to be exchange with the other 3 different state. With this opening, a larger and bigger market started to swarm into the whole continent, with many new martial arts, resources, and materials available from the vendors and auction halls.

    Meanwhile, During the first year after Altima moved into the Wu Di Royal City, a large incident happened in the Central South and Upper South State. With the new coronation of the Emperor of the Forest, a large number of Demonic Beast and Demonic Insect swarm outwards to the overtook the nearby villages and town. Although the casualty is reduced into a minimum limit, the number of refugees increased throughout the other southern state.

    Currently, The Forest of Thousand Insects is no longer Bullforge, The Ironclad Demonic Beetle King. The Ironclad beetle Tribe is totally extinct, due to the heavy fight between two different equally strong Demonic Insect Tribe. But with the competition is over, the final victor finally appeared to be the Monarch Stone Wasp Tribe. With the new King ascend into the emperor seat, "Vespa" the King of Monarch Stone Wasp Tribe immediately launch an attack towards the outer forest to expand his territories.

    Meanwhile, in the Forest of Weevil during the 2nd year, Amarak, managed to give birth into a mutated Weevil, thus taking over the task by Amarak itself. With this continuous unforeseen event, the Southern State quickly got into a unrepairable mess, causing millions of refugees running towards the north and the east, until the 3rd year, where the west is opened as well to entering.

    With the Collapse of Central South, Northern South, Altima move his parents over to the Wu Di Royal City, while for the Universal Material Agency, Altima had it closed before allowing all his employee taken into the Wu Di Royal Family for a better prospect in employment. Currently, after 3 years, Altima manage to push his limit, where he is currently in the close junction between the Peak Master Practitioner into the Spiritual Practitioner stage.

    Participating the Wu Di Royal Faction eventually came with plenty of benefits. In where Altima are allowed to learn most of the martial arts available within the Wu Di Royal Faction, as well as exchanging a few martial arts with his 11 remaining brothers. Unfortunately, in the 1st year after the retreat from the border, Du Wen Xing and his Du Clan failed to escape from the rise of Vespa''s conquest. Resisting to the end, the Du Clan finally perished from the Lan Shen Continent.

    In this 3 years, Altima never stopped to strengthening himself and Mobi''s Ability. Currently, with the prosperous resources and output bring by his private cultivation farm, Altima manage to maintain a great number of cultivation resources required by the Wu Di Royal Faction, while the remaining is covered by the World of Concocting Alliance. During the strengthening period of time Altima placed on his Private cultivation farm, Altima took in a total of 500 Goblins, so they could be utilized as workers to assist him in gathering resources daily without stopping.

    While providing sufficient strong weapons and equipment to the military, Altima provides them with sufficient Martial Art enlightenment as well, whenever he found out the state of masteries they obtain had reached a sufficient point to improvise. Through this way, Altima received a number of praise as well as respects from the whole Wu Di Royal Faction troops. He has even been titled as the "Little Yang Wu Di", because the attitude he possesses is similar to Yang Wu Di.

    "13th little brother!"

    Yang Wu Di called.

    "Yes, big brother ?"

    Altima replied while stopping himself from continuing with his sparring with the captains from the faction.

    "I''ve heard about the expedition you lead a few days back toward the Cliff of Southend. How is it possible ?"

    This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.Yang Wu Di quickly question Altima, urging him to let him know what happened to a kid.

    "Big brother, this is all sheer luck. But I''m glad the person who manages to encounter this spatial realm and obtain all the treasure is me instead of others. Currently, the workers are all being transported to the location. Soon we will have a good amount of Boosting Zen Pills ingredient to be produced within that spatial realm."

    Altima had his big brother calmed before he heads toward the seat, and started to explain in detail what had happened during the expedition.

    Not too long ago, Altima forms an expedition towards the western part of the Southeastern state, bringing along around 1,000 cultivators between Master Practitioner to Spiritual Practitioner stage. Throughout their exploration towards the west direction, the group manage to encounter three specific location, which helps in bringing additional strength towards the Wu Di Royal Factions.

    In the first two encounter, the group managed to salvage a total of 10 different Martial Arts and a Treasure Hall, while on the end of the western path, the group manage to stumble across a spatial realm, with at least a total of 3000 Acres of land abundant with cultivating ingredients, as well as collective of various pools with essence and most importantly, a mountain within the spatial realm which rich with Yin Yang Energy, suitable for cultivation and growing plants all year long.

    With this few achievements, of course, Altima and the others within the group is given privileges to choose few items as well learning the martial arts they obtained first hand. With around 10% of the treasures which includes weapon, cultivating resources and life preserving medicine, the remaining treasures are all contributed into the Wu Di Royal Family, while for Altima, he wastes no time but quickly practices the martial arts.

    With 3 years worth of time had passed, Mobi himself received a boost of strength as well. Throughout the period of time, Mobi consumes no less than millions of the Arsalite, Briolite, Neolite products, varies from Ingots to plates. Leaping from the previous 9th stage to his current 18th stage. Currently, Mobi had the ability to quickly scan and run the process of concoction, actions, and mapping easily without wasting too much time waiting for it.

    The only shocking on Mobi''s leveling up is when he reach the 16th stage. On that particular moment, Mobi out of sudden receive a large information injected into his brain, which tortures him for a total 8 days before he finally receives the ability called "Primordial Disruption". This ability helps during the expedition, especially when the group is under sneak attack by the group of Crystal Howling Beast. One need to know, that the Crystal Howling Beast usually gather is a group of at least 500 to 5,000, with the strength comparable to a 6th Stage Master Practitioner.

    Upon activation, the "Primordial Disruption" ability manage to totally suppress all unidentified targets within Mobi''s field of vision, bringing their cultivation to one stage lower, where this ability last for a total of 20 minutes time limit. Unfortunately, with each activation, Mobi will be rendered Out of Order for the next 8 hours. When the first time Altima and Mobi use this ability, Altima is scared to death, after seeing the condition his brother entered after the activation ends.

    As expected, with the additional martial arts learned and adapted into his list, Altima manage to cleanly refine all of them, before coming out from the close door cultivation after one month period of time pass. Currently, Altima possesses a total of 5 different Spiritual Practitioner Martial Arts, with each of them is on the highest Peak Stage.

 Chapter 61 - Demonic Bridge Ritual & Breakthrough to Spiritual Stage!

    Spiritual Practitioner of Zen Tier.

    Placed on the 4th Stage, this Spiritual stage decides the fate of cultivator, where if one successfully thread across, ascend to the Upper Heaven Rank will be possible, joining along with the Early Soul Practitioners. But throughout the decade, the number of successfully ascended cultivators range only 20% among 100%. For those where fate is not on their side, standing on the peak of Lower Heaven Rank is the best they could achieve in life.

    Acting as border between Lower Heaven and Upper Heaven Rank, this Spiritual Practitioner Stage consist of 3 different cultivation achievement, which is the Spiritual Formation Stage (1st stage to 3rd Stage), the Spiritual Creation Stage (4th Stage to 6th Stage) and lastly the Spiritual Manipulation Stage (7th Stage to 9th Stage).

    When the cultivation reaches the Manipulation stage, the Spiritual practitioner would require spending a large amount of effort to successfully Form, Create and Manipulate their Zen Energy to Build their own Soul Dao, which will be the opening step into the Soul Practitioner Stage.

    Of course, to thread along the 3 different Stage during the Spiritual Practitioner path is no easy way. Different from the previous few stage, Spiritual Stage required the cultivator to build their own Spiritual Body, and no exact path for one to follow. Although there are many cultivating techniques to guide on the spiritual body one should build first, but in the end, only the practitioner himself can understand which part he should start.

    Utilizing the Zen Energy to create the Spiritual Body, the cultivator must start from choosing one from the selection below:

    Upper Limbs - Lower Limbs - Upper Body - Lower Body - Heart - Mind - Core - Sense - Feel

    Differentiated to two category, the Upper, and lower limbs, and the upper and lower body stand for the physical enhancement, while the Heart, Mind, Core, Sense, and Feel provides the internal enhancement to the Spiritual body. In an example, a formation stage cultivator that focus on Upper and Lower Limbs with Heart cultivation could be stronger than any other cultivator in term of strength and durability but will be at a disadvantage if they met their enemies who cultivate in Upper and Lower body, with Core or Sense.

    Without wasting time, Altima quickly consumes a total of 5 million Boosting Zen Pill, which is the balance he holds in hand after he manages to clear the few spatial realm treasury. With the assistance of this 5 million Pills, Altima quickly forms his primary Master stage energy and push through the 9 spiritual gate without any difficulties. With the 9 gate is unlocked, a surge of Essence energy rush inside, until the 9 gate is overfilled with Zen energy, and explode!

    With an exploding energy similar to a miniature Supernova, Altima inner body started to form a big Universe of Essence energy, where it will slowly dissipate if no action is taken immediately. Very quickly, Altima gathers all his might to encase the essence energy and giving birth to a Spiritual Body.

    For his first Part, Altima actually decided to start with a Spiritual Sense.

    Through obtaining Spiritual Sense, Altima could increase his ability to Anticipate, procrastinate, imagine, and creative in his cultivation. Due to the current focus for Altima is on Medicine Concoction, Starting from Sense and later followed with Mind, Core, Feel and Heart will be the best suitable option.

    Successfully breaking through into the spiritual stage, Altima suddenly receives a notification from Mobi''s Interface.

    "Scanning and Unlocking procedure complete!"

    The action point Altima had spent on researching the Second Chapter Scroll finally complete!

    "Information Currently in Display!"

    Demonic Fire Cloud Sect Martial Art - Marquis Fire Cloud Kicking Art (Zen Perfection Martial Art)

    (Huo Yun Hou Tui Gong) (Marquis = Hou in Chinese)

    Skill Description: One of the most well known Kicking martial arts belonged to one of the 36 protectors of Demonic Fire Cloud Sect, Marquis Fire Cloud. The strength of this Kicking art is well known among the Cultivator of Huo Lin Dalu (Flame Forest Continent), where each time Marquis Fire Cloud act, the corpse is scattered everywhere, torn and decapitate without complete remains, through one kick.Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

    "A Zen perfection martial arts!"

    With shock expression written on his face, Altima couldn¡¯t stop being shocked to his core. Without any expectation, he would not even dare to imagine that the scrolls he accidently won in the auction, actually worth million times more than what he paid for.

    One should understand, Although the martial arts scattered among the world is unaccountable, but through records from an ancient era, all the martial Arts came from the Twelve Holy Martial Scriptures. From the Twelve Holy Martial Scriptures, a 24 Different Saint Tier Martial Skills is formed and created.

    Through the 24 Saint Tier Martial Skills, another total of 96 Perfect Martial Masteries is created. Lastly, from the 96 Perfect Martial Masteries, came variations of twelve to hundreds of martial arts, which branched from one of the 96 Perfect Martial Masteries.

    In Example, Although Spirit Moon of Yin or the Flaming Sun of Yang Technique is strong, they are just the variation of the hundreds of martial arts origin from one of the 96 Perfect Martial Masteries. And through observing the quality and depth of profound Martial Scriptures among the Martial arts, one could only guess, that this martial art is just the 4th branched Martial arts from the 96 Perfection Martial Masteries.

    Although the Nine Yang Mortal Skill, which categorized as the Spiritual Martial Arts, are actually only on the 3rd branch!

    Based on this grading system, one could expect how profound is the Perfection Martial Arts Altima currently obtain in his hand now.

    "This is where I will carve my name into the new history of Lan Shen Dalu!"

    Altima continued:

    "With this Zen Perfection Martial arts, although I might not be undefeatable at the moment, but at least, I can still join into the top tier cultivators among my rank!"

    "Big Brother Yang! Very soon we will be able to fulfill what we aim to achieve 4 years ago!"

    Altima looked towards the opened area within the Training room, reminiscing the moment when he and Yang Wu Di met.

    With new motivation etched in his mind, Altima dare not to slack. As he spent most of his remaining close door cultivation to research and practice his newly obtained martial art. While on the outside, An event which will come every 5 years finally arrived.

    "The Demonic Bridge Ritual is finally here!"

    "The Obelisk is erected on the same location! The Ritual will start soon!"

    Screamed one tall and healthy man, running around spreading the news throughout the whole Village.

    Within the first week, whole Lan Shen Dalu is well informed with this event. Participants started to swarm to the nearby town and villages located near to the Ritual''s entrance, while powerhouse from North, South, East and West started to reinforce the City located near the border to ensure the visitors and booming business could be accommodated immediately.

    Recruitment started to get rougher, where the 6 Alliance , 9 Corporation , 12 Sect , 15 Clans and 18 Guilds started to gather more and more cultivators to participate in this ritual. While for the Royal family, instead of recruiting additional cultivators, they choose to strengthen their participant''s strength so the expedition dispatch for the ritual could return with better success.

    One need to know, that this Demonic Bridge Ritual only came every 5 years.

    No notice or any guidance was given beforehand. but when this ritual date came, the continent will have a major phenomenon within the 4 different state. Extreme Wind and Thunder rained across the state of West and East for a total of 16 days, while Extreme Hot and Cold weather across the state of North and South, for a total of 16 days.

    During this moment, it is well known as the cleansing ritual, where it''s believed to be the act of gods to clean the trash before allowing qualified cultivators to participates in the ritual.

    Demonic Bridge Ritual.

    With the cleansing ritual end, One huge Obelisk will be erected in the middle of the Lan Shen Dalu, between the borders of 4 State. When the ritual begins, hundreds of spatial realm will be opened across the border, spread towards north, south, east and west. There are no limits of participants to enter the ritual, but a minimum requirement of Master Practitioner of Zen Tier is required.

    The reason is due to the examiner, or more likely to be known as the "executioner of the ritual" is at least an early Master practitioner stage.

    The participants will be divided into a total of 12 different bridge, which is wide enough to place a village in the middle of the bridge, where all participants forced to explored the path ahead. Various type of beast and demonic beings is scattered along the bridge, where it is identical to human populations. The bridge holds different ecosystem as well, where each different bridge carries different tribes, beast, land, and surroundings.

    Along the path, abundant resources, cultivation techniques, weapons, and treasures are available to be obtained, while much ancient inheritance is also available within the path.

    But one should always remember, Human nature is always greedy, being aware towards your opponent is important, but being careful among your side is even more. Since ancient time, the number of death from internal conflicts is even higher than the number of death by the ecosystem.

    This Ritual will last for a total of 1 month if the participants failed to reach the central of the Ancient Empire connecting the 12 different bridge. As written in the history, throughout the records from 3,000 years ago, only 2 Bridge is successfully passed from the 600 previous Demonic Bridge Ritual.

 Chapter 62 - Demonic Bridge Ritual - Ancient Elves!

    As the day of the ritual starts drawing closer, tension and arguments between neighboring towns, tyrants, and the states started to diminish. Due to the continent scale event required a total cooperation between states to make it a success, a temporary truce had been made among states, with the royal family heir placed on the sacrificial altar to honor the truce.

    5 Days before the ritual starts, the participants finally gathered throughout the central border, where the 500 Acres of land is free from any state''s rules. Close to 10 Million participants are seen within this area, where the 500 acres of land immediately looked so packed. Vendors are seen everywhere, trying to earn a large profit due to the tight supplies of medicinal products and the outrageous demand.

    4 Days remaining, the Royal Family from their respective state appears within their own direction, but none of them entering the free ruling area. While for West, the Ming cult finally made their appearance when the end of the 4th day is near. Leading a total of about 500,000 cultivators, the Ming Cult march along the way, and entering the free ruling area first.

    For the last 3 days, Instead of focusing on what will happen among those who gathered, Altima spent most of his time concocting medicine nonstop. With every additional Life preserving medicine he concocted, one more life could be saved during the critical moment. Holding up on this mentality, Altima quickly exhausted himself after concocting pills without rest for a total of 3 days.

    Awaken by the attendant assigned by Yang Wu Di, finally the Ritual Starting time is here.

    The group immediately prepare themselves, ready to charge into the spatial realm when it''s opened. As they expected, with the spatial realm entrance suddenly appeared out of thin air, a large number of cultivators quickly charge into the spatial realm, where a stampede quickly happened!

    "I would never imagine, after so long, we are still not able to peacefully combined our strength and face this upcoming challenges together."

    Yang Wu Di express in regrets.

    Seeing the stampede happening in front of his view, where the cultivators started to quarrel and fight among each other, just to obtain the right to enter the spatial realm first. Within two hours, although the main force of cultivators from different factions had thoroughly entered the spatial realm, the numbers dropped from 10 Million cultivators into only 8 Million cultivators left.

    If anybody wished to asked, "Where are the remaining two million cultivators goes?"

    It''s simple, they had either turned into minced paste due to the reckless stampede forced by the back of the line or killed due to the greed within the ruthless cultivator, who tried to take advantage during the havoc by reducing the number of competitors.

    "Let us proceed!"

    Yang Wu Di passed his order along the ranks, where the Wu Di Royal Army charge in unison, entering the huge spatial realm opened before them.

    Within a few blinks, the group finally entered a huge land, which doesn¡¯t look like a bridge at all.

    "This is totally a different ecosystem compared to any spatial realm I encountered before!"

    Altima speaks to himself, but quickly gain his own composure and proceed with the remaining Wu Di Royal Army by his side.

    After making a headcount, the number of Wu Di Troops which had been transferred to his side amounted 50,000 in total. Among the 8 brothers, none of them had been transferred to the same bridge Altima is located. With the troops gathered together after salvaging nearby remains, and gathering medicinal herbs and some demonic beast treasures, the group of 50,000 divide themselves into 10 different teams, with 5,000 members each.

    The 10 team will be arranged as the vanguard team, and the back support team, where they will proceed along the path in the formation of 5 arrows spread along the path. In the same time, Altima will take the lead on the middle arrow position, so the information and reports could be delivered without delays.

    With the reports came from Mobi''s interface, Altima starts their journey.

    "Report! The Left flank encountered the demonic Tree Stump beast!"

    "Report! The Right flank is swarmed by a large number of corroding Slugs!"

    "Report! The center troops are attacked by some subterranean Worms!"

    "Report! The Support team encountered a large number of pointy ears Demon!"

    "What ? Pointy ears Demon ?"

    Altima immediately shocked with the final incoming reports. Through Mobi''s interface, he had himself prepared for the first 3 reports as he is trying to adjust and prepare his team to reveal the incoming assault from the different sides. But unexpectedly, the Pointy ear Demons is totally invisible from his Map Scanning report.

    "Have the 3 centers rear team to lead the assault in repelling the Pointy ear demon forces!"

    "Vanguard team, upon clearing the enemies, immediately retreat by an acre distance from the clashing points, and start building our retreating camps. Spread your team into the spider web formation, and scout the terrains while waiting for my return."

    Immediately, Altima move from the center vanguard, leaving two captains in the Dao Stage to take control of the temporary command. Within the time span of 15 minutes, Altima finally reach the battle point, where 3 teams of troops totaled up to 15,000 troops, is having a difficult time handling the sneaky pointy ear demons.

    "Brother, can you scan the status and information on those Pointy ear Demons ?"

    Altima sneakily speaks to Mobi, and the result came almost immediately after Mobi cast his interface actions on scanning the characteristic of the Demons.You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

    Lowest Grade Ancient Elves (Dagger) - Ancient Heritage Elven Tribe

    Characteristic: Aggressive and sneaky nature, often launch a sneak attack towards unprotected targets, and love stealing shiny metallic materials from target they kill. Usually found together in a group of 5 to 10 members.

    Weakness: Due to the sneaky and cowardly attitude, this Dagger wielding Elves had literally no defensive strength at all. As long one have good speed to match the elves speed, they can easily dispose of the elves without any difficulties.

    Threat Level: 5th Stage Master Practitioner of Zen Tier

    "I see, so that¡¯s the ancient elves which are totally extinct from the Lan Shen Continent. Brother, can you try to interpret and translate their language ?"

    Altima quickly tries to persuade Mobi to translate the language the elves use to communicate.

    "What the HELL!!! Are you treating me as a translating device ?"

    Mobi, immediately burst into anger, after listened to Altima''s ridiculous request.

    "Brother! If we can communicate with them, perhaps the production of better metal materials is possible! You will have more access to better quality food too!"

    Altima immediately tempts Mobi with the knowledge he used to listen to his life as Matilda. He is hoping that this elven tribe will be familiar with the stories during his past life.

    Without delaying, Mobi quickly translates the language used by the elves, and soon, even Mobi himself felt the loss after he manages to translate a portion of their words.

    "Why they keep saying this same word again and again ?"

    Mobi felt weird and his brain is filled with questions.

    "What did they keep on saying ?"

    Altima, getting impatient, quickly question Mobi on his results.

    "The elves keep saying (Why is all this beast have no fragrant taste at all ?) word to each other."

    Mobi speaks out the translated words he had in hand.

    "Brother, try to check their diets."

    Very quickly, Altima and his troops manage to surround the Ancient Elves, but yet to take actions as they have not received further instruction from Altima.

    (Why are you attacking us for ?)

    Altima speaks in the Elven Language. Broken but still manageable to be understood.

    (We starve! Human walking. Many foods!)

    The elves replied, but luckily, Mobi manage to translate fast enough for Altima to grasp their language proficiency.

    (Let us exchange! We human will give you foods, while you will give us something else we wish.)

    Altima replied, and had the soldiers gather up the provisions available within their spatial rings. In the same time, Altima withdraws numbers of fresh fruits, dried goods and edible meats from his spatial inventory.

    (Food God! So many foods, Bring all the useless things out from your holes!)

    The oldest elves quickly shouted on the others. Immediately, all the elves scattered to the nearby forest, digging for treasures before they return to the center where Altima just captured all of them.

    Placing the foods on the table, and assigning ten captains in handling the exchange, many elves started to surrender their crude spatial tablets (Unrefined Material which is important to mold a spatial ring) in exchange for fruits and dried edible goods. Out of Altima and the other soldiers, the Elves actually prefer herbs, fruits, and dried goods as their diets, instead of meat.

    As the exchange goes on, Altima, sitting on one side trying to communicate with the eldest elves, which known as "Ta-Ruk"

    (Ta-Ruk, there is plenty of fruits and medicinal herbs all around this forest, it is a totally different ecosystem, why would you elves be starving ?)

    Altima cannot control his curiosity, so he asked.

    (Kind Lord, we are only the lowest existence among the elves, to manage to eat, we must gather at least 5 stone worth of food before we are allowed to have one meal.)

    Ta-Ruk sadly reply.

    (Who is the one that sets this kind of rules ?)

    Altima questioned.

    (The Hierarch of Elves Tribe. The elves are one of the largest tribe in this route. If you go ahead, there is a total of 5 different Elves tribe located along your way. We are the lowest existence among all of them.)

    Ta-Ruk continues.

    As the two continue exchanging information, soon Altima find out that their way the elves is groomed is slightly different from how the human does. The elves grow according to a ritual, whereupon one elf member among them reach their strength to break through their shells, the ritual will begin.

    Incantation will be repeated, and blessing from the heavens will fall to the member. Bath in the light of gods, the elves will receive a rank up, where they will break from their current cocoon of Lowest-Grade body, and ascend into a higher and stronger body.

    Once a while, some of the elves with good potential could gain two ascending, where from the Lowest-Grade body, they ascend into the Medium-Grade or even some on Intermediate-Grade body. Due to the longevity of the elves far exceed the lifespan of other races, the elves grows to be sneaky and sly, just to protect themselves until they reach the moment to ascend.

    (Ta-Ruk, Would you like to join my legions ? If you willing to pledge loyalty to me and my brothers, I will make sure we will not mistreat your kinds, but in exchange, your elves tribe must be standing alongside with us throughout our journey to conquer the world.)

    Altima quickly throws an offer to Ta-Ruk, due to two reasons.

    Firstly, is because of the ecosystem. The elves tribe currently are still not well groomed with newer technologies, as well as in the term of agriculture, architecture, and culture. Grooming and growing a new tribe could ensure Altima himself to be hailed as one of the most important people as the tribe grows.

    Secondly is due to the ability to speak with nature. The elves tribe often being mentioned when it comes to the being one with nature. Excellent in agriculture and plantations, Altima expect them to help him grow his Personal Cultivation Farm plantations, taking over the Goblins job and allowing the produce of the Farm to get bigger and better.

    (Will we be mistreated like currently ?)

    Ta-Ruk asks an important question. He himself, out of all the other elves, had been live within this spatial dimension for at least 2000 years. Throughout his time, he had seen so many incidents where they had been hunted and tortured by the higher ranks elves due to their incompetence to provide sufficient food source.

    As the tribe needs to ensure that they have enough people to ensure their tribe stays alive, strong and fertile male, often being treated as the mating tool for the female to keep on conceive. The female elves are all expected to start giving birth upon reaching their maturity, which is around 20 years after birth.

    Currently, Ta-Ruk leads a total of 3000 elves, where 500 of them is female and 2500 of them is male. The male is tasked to gather food sources from the forest, and slay nearby beast to ensure the safety of their camps, while the female is expected to keep giving birth every 6 months, to ensure their camp keep growing stronger.

    (You won''t need to worry about this. Follow me to my spatial Realm.)

    Altima stands and lead Ta-Ruk to a secluded side, before both of them entered a spatial portal.

    Within the portal, Ta-Ruk is totally amazed by the balanced ecosystem and fertility of the land, where abundant resources, herbs, and fruits are planted all around the large piece of land. Strong Yin and Yang Energy is released from the direction up north, while the goblins working on the mountain located on the west side. On the south, plantations grow without any limitations, creating a specialize flora and fauna, while on the east, a large number of wild beast graze along the grassland without worries.

    Immediately, Ta-Ruk pledges his loyalty and the fate of his tribe to the hand of Altima, without any additional question asked. As they both return to the bridge once again, Ta-Ruk quickly convinces his brethren on following and pleading loyalty to Altima.

    Without wasting any more casualties, Altima manages to absorb a total of 3000 Ancient Elves, and quickly allows all of them to enter his Private Cultivation Farm to assist in its production.

    From this moment onwards, one could expect what path Altima will walk across.

 Chapter 63 - Demonic Bridge Ritual - Heritage Laws!

    "Brother, please run a mapping scan again, could we run a deeper scanning this time ?"

    Altima checks with his brother immediately, in case any similarly undetectable beings manage to escape the scanning.

    "Let me do a double scanning, one for temperature and one for surrounding."

    Mobi replied. After waiting for about 30 minutes for the scan to be completed, Altima proceeds with their path along with the other troops, moving accordingly to Altima''s arrangement.

    Manage to uphold his title as "Strategy Advisor of Wu Di", Altima lead the troops to march for 50 miles on their first day. Gathering all the treasure and cultivation materials, the group manage to obtain a bountiful harvest for their first day.

    "Earl Altima, all the captains is ready for the strategy meeting."

    One of the captains came into Altima''s tent for his reports.

    "Great, let us start our discussion regarding our next day expedition."

    With haste, Altima proceeds to the main tent, while handling over the piece of a rough map he had it drawn earlier. Directing the troops and updating them on the particular threat within the path, Altima manage to reduce the casualties each time they march forward.

    Leading the 50,000 troops efficiently, although the casualty could not be totally neutralized, but after the first week, Altima manages to still preserve a total of 46,000 troops, as they manage to march for a total of 1000 miles.

    Along the path, the troops manage to obtain most of the treasure and materials as listed within Altima''s scanner, except missing a few portions which are well hidden from naked eyes. Unfortunately, along with their 1000 miles expedition, none of the higher quality treasure manage to be unveiled. Even after a few inspection and scanning, Altima still failed to scan for any hidden treasures and heaven-defying materials along on their path.

    Surprisingly, the troops manage to met one stronger variant form of the Elf on their way, where the Soul practitioner stage captain immediately capture the elf before he manages to got away. Holding the elf as a prisoner of war, they quickly return to Altima''s side to report the changes of population in their upcoming path.

    Of course, with Altima looking straight on the elf, Mobi had his basic scan and inspection conducted towards the elf.

    Low-Grade Ancient Elves (Magical) - Ancient Heritage Elven Tribe

    Characteristics: Slightly different from their other dagger wielding counterpart, Magical elves usually deal with the problem with logic and overprotective rules and law. As the magical elves usually prefer to be left alone when the are not tasked with any mission, they are easier to be captured compared with the other elves.

    Weakness: Long casting speed, weak physical body, lack of communication ability.

    Threat Level: 9th Stage Master Practitioner of Zen Tier

    (Why were you alone in the forest ?)

    Altima started to speak in elven language.

    (Humans with Elven language, who are you to dare learn our heritage language ?)

    The Elf immediately replied. Both of its eyes is filled with rage.

    (I am different from the other humans, but you need to know, I am the one asking the question now.)

    (Answer or I will be forced to take a tougher action. Why are you alone in the forest!)

    Altima explained vaguely regarding his language proficiency, and apply more pressure on his hand which he used to grab the neck of the elf.

    (We will be having a magical ceremony soon! Many magical elves started to come out to the forest to hunt for ingredient to make "Aether" for the ceremony!)

    The elf quickly explained. As Altima had his question answered, he loosen his clutch, and allows the two captain to release the elf from the restraining plank.

    (Continue.)

    Altima speaks again.

    (Magical elves are all good in creating concoction, so each time during ceremony, the magical elves will gather together to pour their concentrated Aether into the giant natural cauldron, allowing the Aether to be mix and blessed to the worthy elves.)

    (Only the worthiest elves among the tribe will be blessed with the concentrated Aether, where they will be allowed to consume the Aether to increase their cultivation and ascend into a higher grade elf.)

    The elf continued.

    (This ceremony is held twice every year, and with each time, only 10 magical elves among thousands will be chosen to receive this blessing.)

    Finishing his explanation, Altima summon Ta-Ruk from his spatial realm, and allowing both to communicate as Altima have a feeling that the elf still hiding a portion of information from him.You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

    As the two elves started to talk, Altima moves back to his troops, and pass along the order to stop the journey, and immediately summon all the captains and their flank to return to the center as soon as possible.

    With the camp is fully set up, Altima continues with his concoction while waiting for the two elves to return to his tent become he continue to ask for other questions.

    As the two elves return into Altima''s tent, Altima finally could see the fire of hope from the Magical elf''s eyes.

    (Young master, please allow me to follow you.)

    The Magical elf, named Alolas, kneeled on one leg and awaits Altima''s reply.

    (What can you offer me ?)

    Altima replied.

    (I have nothing, but I am the best when it comes to repairing Heritage Laws.)

    Alolas speak honestly, afraid that Altima will reject his request to join the factions.

    (Heritage Laws ? Ta-Ruk, what is heritage Laws ?)

    Altima quickly checks with Ta-Ruk, his most trusted confidante regarding the matter.

    (My lord, I''m afraid to even myself is not well educated enough to understand the Heritage Laws.)

    Ta-Ruk immediately replied Altima, kneeled on one leg due to his incompetence.

    (Alolas, do you have any example of the Heritage Laws you mentioned ?)

    Altima continued.

    (My¡­. I''m afraid with my rank within the tribe, I am not qualified to own a Heritage Laws myself either.)

    Alolas held himself from calling Altima "My Lord" as he has no approval yet, but he speaks honestly, as his position within the tribe is fairly low.

    (But, I am lucky enough to study under one of the 1,000 Elven Mage within the tribe.)

    (If I tried to ask from my Master, I might obtain a portion of the Heritage Law to bring out for my lord.)

    Alolas continued.

    (What do you need for your Aether ?)

    Altima questioned.

    (Strong and mature herbs. Best if the herb is from the "Forest Dew Stone Variants" or Juicy Bloody Fruits" the effect will be the best.)

    Alolas answered.

    Forest Dew Stone Variants.

    This type of plant came in few different type, but most of them bear the same medicinal value in many shapes. Easily found growing around the forest with a dense amount of Yin energy, they usually spread and grow along the tree barks, fruits, leaves, and branches. The longer the spore manage to absorb the nutrient, the better the plant variant will grow.

    While for the Juicy Bloody Fruits, this type of fruits only grow in the swamp that rich in Yang Energy. Bearing the shape like a Sharon Fruits, but only Bigger variation. The fruit usually grows within the flower, where the fruit will be only exposed when the fruit is fully matured.

    This two kind of medicinal materials, although they aren''t too rare within this path, but in Altima''s first week, they only manage to gather a total of 300 Units of each, compared to other materials which amounted around 1,000 to 5,000 units.

    But for Altima.

    This kind of sacrifice is not worth to be placed within his eyes, especially when he could exchange this little sum of ingredients for something the elves treasured the most.

    (Take this all and refine your Aether. I will expect you to bring over the Heritage Laws information the next time you came to me.)

    Altima handover the 300 units of both Juicy Bloody Fruits and the Forest Dew Stone Variants.

    (Thank you, my lord, I will not disappoint you!)

    Receiving all the ingredients, Alolas quickly return to his village, and refine the Aether in order to participate and land upon the chances to be selected as the blessed one.

    "Earl Altima, don¡¯t you worry he won''t be returning or will expose our location if he is returned ?"

    One captain speaks without any hesitation.

    "Based on how his reaction, I have the confident to believe in him."

    "We''ll see how the thing goes, pass my order around, we will be exploring around this area for another week before we start moving in deeper. For people whom in the middle of breaking through, they will be exempted from the exploration. In the same time, I will venture to the farther right of our current location, in case we miss some treasure around the corners."

    "Begin the exploration by tomorrow morning! Dismiss!"

    Altima completes his chain of command, and on the next morning, he immediately departs towards the East direction from the Main force camp.

    Along the path, Altima faces no difficulties in removing the threat which came to look for their death. Only depending on the 5 Spiritual Tier Martial Arts, Altima easily disposes of those who dare to appear within his sight.

    In his first day, Altima met with two 1st Stage Spiritual Practitioner Demonic Beast, which is the Ancient Flame Lizard, as well as an Ancient Spiritual Lightning Wolf. Within 10 rounds of deadly exchange, both beasts met their fate, and finally, have their Marrow Bones, Skin and Blood Essence extracted.

    On the second Day, Altima finally manages to meet with another group from the northern state, where they are led by a group of youngster around 7th Stage of Master Tier and around 3 Early Spiritual Tier cultivators. Unfortunately, the group of 50 people is the Crooks among the total participants.

    Without exchanging words, the 50 cultivators immediately surround Altima without mercy, and lunge toward Altima in hope to capture him and force him to surrender all his treasure. Unfortunately, this group overestimates themselves too much.

    "Brat! Quickly leave all the treasures in your hand and get the hell away from here!"

    Said one of the cultivator in the early spiritual stage.

    "Is there anyone else except your group along with your exploration ?"

    Altima questions them instead but receives no reply.

    "Brat! Seems like without feeling some pain, you won''t realize what kind of situation you''re in."

    One cultivator quickly charges forward and launch a few fist strike to capture Altima on spot.

    (Grand Essence Strong Fist!)

    The cultivator quickly starts with a frontal strike.

    "Idiot."

    Altima sways his body left and move backward for a step before he withdraws his Surging Wave Spear and decapitates the cultivator with his Wu Di Heirloom Spear Technique.

    "How dare you, brat!"

    The other cultivator is shocked with Altima''s ruthlessness and charge in a group. But unfortunately for them, within twenty round of exchange, Altima totally destroy the whole party, leaving two women alive but unconscious, while at the same time, Mobi had all of the other 48 person brainwaves scanned.

    In this instant, Altima realized that through hunting other cultivators, the chances of quickly gathering sufficient martial art techniques, information and memories is indeed the fastest way to ascend to upper rank. But as this method is absolutely tyrannical, Altima decided to never fall into this path, except towards those who making the situation difficult for him to deal with.

    An hour later, the two women awake. Seeing all the corpse around them, both women fall into shock, and shivers as Altima getting close to their side.

    "Name and background. Answer me without any hidden words between, or I will dispose you both like how I do to the others."

    Altima questioned, without giving them any space to negotiate.

 Chapter 64 - Demonic Bridge Ritual - Heritage Laws (2)

    "We are from the Li Clan based on Lower Northern."

    "I am Li Wen, and she is my younger sister, Li Xin."

    "We both Cultivates in the Yin Essence Technique, I am proficient with Staff Martial arts, while my younger sister Li Xin is proficient with Blade Martial arts."

    "Our Li Clan have a 1,000 years history. 6 among 13 Patriarch of ours used to be standing along with the royal family in strength, but currently, we are starting to getting weaker, where other families from the north started to take advantage of our family too."

    Li Wen speaks honestly, without hiding any secrets from Altima. Although Altima looks ruthless, but from how she first met him, and through his warning, Li Wen trusts her instinct that Altima is not as savage as the other cultivators.

    "The group of people you just slain came from one of the biggest northern guilds."

    "They are the 7th rank members from the Malachite Guild. This guild often participates in plundering and pillaging nearby town and villages from the state borders."

    "Because the guild elder used to help the Li Clan last time, so our patriarch agreed to allow we sisters to participate along with them this time in this ritual."

    "But when we found out about what this guild is doing, we are reluctant to assist them, but we were forced to, or else we both will be raped and disposed of if they are unhappy with it."

    Said Li Xin, While grabbing tightly on the cloth around her chest. From her expression, it is guessable that the guild members did try to approach her, but failed to do anything at the moment.

    As the conversation goes, Altima manages to obtain more information regarding the exploration, beast and tribes the group had met during their path within the first week. Although there are some slight differences between Altima''s path and the Malachite Guild, but mainly all of the tribe and beasts they met is similar.

    By exploring the path the Malachite Guild used to pass earlier ago, Altima manages to gain bountiful harvest as the mapping is all well prepared by Mobi as they proceed with the exploration. Along the travel, Altima had both Li sisters tied with a Water Dragon Cannon on their neck. Although the action is slightly mean, but as a precaution, Altima believes this action is required, as the sisters are not in the condition where Altima could trust them yet.

    After the trio return to Altima''s camp, Altima immediately hands over the arrangement of the two Li clan prisoners to the captains, before he returns to his personal camp. Within, Altima quickly withdraws a few ingredients and started to concoct randomly.

    "Brother, please monitor my current concoction record. During the period you absorb the information and knowledge within the 48 dead cultivators, I have a sudden surge of a random concoction in my head. I wanted to try this concoction in case they are something rare."

    "Will do, go ahead."

    Mobi replied Altima, and start monitoring the differences happened during the concoction.

    To start off with the concoction, Altima withdraws a total of 5 different bloody Poison Berries, and thoroughly crush them before he places the juices into the Medicinal Cauldron. Applying a moderate Yang Essence Flame, Altima quickly mixes the powder grounded from the Fang of the Ancient Spiritual Lightning Wolf, as well as the Blood essence from the Jade Shell Snail.

    As the mixture combined altogether, a fruity and beautiful fragrant start to released out, causing the surrounding of Altima''s camp totally shrouded with the fragrant. As the concoction started to boil, Altima adds a piece of Demonite Stone, as well a total of 1,000 of Energy Yin and Energy Yang Pills and monitor the changes happen within the cauldron.

    "This is the time!"

    With his knowledge and experience after concocting medicine for so long, Altima monitors the changes happened within the concoction, and quickly toss a piece of Marrow Bone into the cauldron, allowing the concoction to react with the piece of marrow bone.

    Immediately, the blood red concoction quickly seeps into the piece of marrow bone and turning the piece of bone into a scarlet red hue. As the Yang Essence Flame getting hotter and hotter, the Marrowbone started to crumble, and as the flame burn even stronger, the bone started to turn into ashes, slowly revealing a pill in the middle of the marrow bone.

    With a success from the first trial, Altima quickly inspects the medicinal properties within the medicine.

    "Brother Mobi, what do you think about this tempering pills ?"

    Ingredient: (5) Bloody Poison Berry / (1) Fang Powder of Ancient Spiritual Lightning Wolf / (10) Blood Essence of Jade Shell Snail / (1) Demonite Stone / (1,000) Energy Yin Pill / (1,000) Energy Yang Pill / (1) Marrow Bones of a Beast Exceed 100,000 Years cultivation

    "Although the quality of this pill slightly not up to the standard, but in your first try, obtaining 40% medicinal value within the medicine is good enough to be categorized as Early Medicinal Grade."Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

    Mobi answered Altima''s question.

    Medicinal Grade.

    This is a new term used by the concocting masters to determine the quality of the Concocted medicine or cultivation pill. As the Continent started to get stronger, more and more information started to travel inside due to the frequent exchange of information. One of the few knowledge received from the outer continent is regarding the medicinal grading and its value.

    Early Medicinal Grade: This grade is given to all concocted medicine under 50% medicinal value. Medicine that falls in this grade usually concocted by primary rank to a secondary rank alchemist. Commonly found across all 16 continents.

    Late Medicinal Grade: This grade will be only given to the medicine which manages to preserve at least 70% of its medicinal value. Only 3 alchemists among 10 will be able to concoct such medicine by luck. Uncommon, and only could be found within traders or bigger establishment which deal with higher grade medicine and pills.

    Master Medicinal Grade: Only will be given towards any medicine that preserves at least 85% of its medicinal value. Rare and hardly found among the 16 continents. The only chance to stumble across such medicine is through the Auction or Royal inheritance.

    Perfect Concoction: Only medicine with 95% value will have the qualification to be graded as the Perfect Concoction. From the knowledge passed since ancient time, Only Spiritual grade and above pills will be qualified to compete for this Perfect Concoction title.

    Next day. Altima leads his troops to explore for another 50 miles before they made their stop. As this kind of repetitive behavior last for another week, Altima and the troops finally venture deeper into the bridge, covering around 2,000 miles. Realizing his intention of leading the troops in such way, finally bear some fruits, Altima quickly arranges his troops in a formation, allowing entrance but exit is made impossible.

    "Good! Continue managing the 8 Diagram Trapping Formation!"

    Altima passes his order along to the troops through the flag bearer, allowing the 8 flank to move accordingly.

    Trapping all the tribes and demonic beast along the way, Altima quickly leads his center flank to dispose the enemies one by one and loot all the ingredient and treasures as they proceed.

    "Earl Altima! The northern gate is under attack by enemies and fails to maintain the formation!"

    "Finally they took the bait! Ganesha, Wang Yan, follow me!"

    Altima cheerfully replied his scout report, and had his left and right captain, in the Dao Practitioner stage to follow him as they charge to the Northern Gate formation immediately.

    "Captain! What should we do now ? This two elf attack is very weird but strong in its destructive power!"

    Said a soldier while assisting his fellow troops to retreat from the elf''s attack range.

    "Keep him on the perimeter, we need to hold until Earl reaches this place!"

    The captain replied, and quickly charge over to land a few blows and force the elf to retreat for few steps.

    But as the captain and the elf exchange a few strikes, the captain started to be in a disadvantage position. The elf''s attack and precision in each of his blow are accurate and heavy. Each attack seems to be charged with strong essence energy, leading the captain to be blown away each time they exchange their blows.

    (Useless Human, surrender now and leave all your belongings here!)

    Once again, the elf read a chant before a few mural tattoo along his arm shines with a bluish light. Next, the two of them exchange another blow, and finally, the captain''s mace crumbles, and falls to the ground. Losing his weapon is fatal, where the elf instantly lands a blow on his chest.

    A mouthful of blood rushed from his throat and sprayed on the grass as the captain is forcefully push back, but at the same time, Altima appeared behind him, and quickly support the captain from falling to the ground. Altima quickly withdraws a Ten-Yang Boosting Pill from his spatial ring and assist the captain in recovering from his injuries, while Ganesha and Wang Yan facing the elf.

    "Is the shining light along the mural tattoo on his body is what they call Heritage Laws ?"

    Altima wondered, and without any notice, he withdraws his Surging Wave Spear, and quickly charge toward the Elf without any warning.

    (Gate Breaker Direct Thrust!)

    The elf shocked with the thrusting attack from Altima out of sudden, but manage to block the attack without too much effort.

    "Not bad. Try this instead! (First Surging Wave-Swept the Ocean!)

    Altima gives the elf no time to rest, as he continued with his first Surge from the 3 Wave of Surging Wave Spear Art. Facing the second incoming attack, the elf starting to lose the advantage he previously obtained. Pushed backward and being pressured by Altima with just two attacks, the elf quickly chants another mural, allowing his wrist to shine in the bluish light again.

    (Fist Armament - First Impact Chapter of Heritage Laws!)

    The elf chant in its own language, where all of it is heard and translated by Mobi to Altima.

    "So, that one of the variants of the Heritage Laws!"

    Altima happily smiled in his heart, and without any mercy, he launches an (Erasing Fist of Heaven Mark) directly to confront the Fist Armament used by the elf.

    Both fists clashed, and nobody gains advantages from this first exchange.

    (Ridiculous! How can this human have such a strong power!)

    The elf started to get unstable in his emotion, realizing that Altima is different from the other human he used to defeat earlier. With an affected mental state, the Mural''s bluish light started to fade, and in time to time, the elf''s attack started to get weaker and weaker, until it is in the condition comparable to a normal Spiritual stage practitioner strength.

    Realizing that the Elf started to lose its strength, Altima could deduce the fact that the stronger the elf is in their mental state and Heritage Law, the stronger they could fight. As this is only a first impact chapter, perhaps there will be even more different chapters, stages as well as armaments.

    "Medium Wheel of Tai JI!"

    Altima decided to finish this fight quickly. Without giving any more mercy and chances for the elf to show his skills, Altima quickly overpowered the elf in a few exchange of blows, and Mobi immediately enters the Brain of the elf, scanning all the information and knowledge the elf held within his mind until he is unconscious.

    As the other troops quickly return to their formation, Altima brings the Elf into the forest alone, while allowing his other troops to maintain their current position without any further movement. As for Altima, he will be doing some research and checking for some details before he returns to command his troop again.

    Within the deeper forest.

    Altima tosses away the body of the elf, which is dead after a while from being scanned by Mobi thoroughly. Transferring the information and knowledge to Altima, he realized that this elf is seriously ruthless and often bath in bloodlust. Along with his path, a large number of practitioner had been killed by this Elf before he met Altima''s troops. Instead of only robbing the other human cultivator''s treasure and spatial ring, this Elf actually enjoys torturing them by controlling the nature and had the bloodsucking vines and plants to suck the cultivator dried, leaving them to death by blood loss.

    As for the Heritage Law, Mobi successfully obtain a vague information regarding the Law, but only in an incomplete method.

 Chapter 65 - Demonic Bridge Ritual - Heritage Laws (3)

    Heritage Law.

    As one of the traditional way elves use to cultivate and gain stronger advantages in battle or war, the Ancient Elves tribe create this Heritage Laws to compete for a position within the Dao of Universe.

    Divided into 6 different Main Armament, the Heritage Laws is practicable by all the members of elves tribe, as long they had the ritual rites conducted on their body. The Ritual Rites came in the form of Mural Tattoos, attached in the skin on each elf that completed the rites.

    First Basic Armament, is the Physical Law Armament. They came in many forms such as Fist Armament, the most basic among all, to Bow Armament, Spear Armament or the rarer one, such as the Mental Armament, and True Sight Armament.

    The second Basic Armament is the Magical Law Armament. Came in form of Essence energy conversion, the Armament allows the user to convert the Essence energy around them into a different form, and apply them in many different usages. Usually, this form of Armament came in the form of Yang Essence Armament, Yang Lighting Armament, or the rarer Yin Yang Cloud Armament.

    The third Basic Armament is the Spiritual Law Armament. Less variant is discovered within this armament due to the lack of enlightenment in this Law, but few major character within the Elven Tribe possess this Law in the form of Grand Commander Spirit Armament, or the Master Tamer Armament, where they possess special ability to control other elves spirit or demonic beast.

    The fourth Basic Armament is the Life Wheel Armament. Life Wheel Armament came in 4 different type of Armament, which is the Blood Life Armament, Physical Life Armament, Essence Life Armament, and the Mind Life Armament. The Blood stands for Cultivation, Physical for the Mortal Body, Essence for the Nature Absorption, and the Mind for Spiritual Strength. The deeper one Armament is trained and enhanced, the better the elf will be able to perform in any condition.

    The Fifth Basic Armament is the Material Armament. Through Condensing the essence and anything in nature, the elves have the privilege to use the support from nature to materialize a different kind of ingredients to recreate anything to assist themselves. A few basic type of usage includes Arrow Making, Armours, Weapons, and certain kind of tools. However, this does not mean the material formed will be sturdier or better use than item created specifically by the blacksmith from dwarves, goblins or humans.

    The last Basic Armament is an Ability Armament. Abilities, or more likely to be known as techniques or arts, is categorized as the last and also the one with most variants within. Came either born with it or learned along the way to ascension, the elves depend on this armament to further enhance their ability, especially during war.

    Overall, instead of being strictly divided, thought and inherited to each generation like how human treated their Martial arts, the elves instead allows all members who succeed in the ritual rites are allowed to learn and practice any Armament as they like. Although some secrets and special Armament would require one to reach a certain level and honor, the elves still pretty open to all in term of inheritance of Heritage Laws.

    Finish understanding vaguely on the differences and specialty of the Heritage Laws, Altima waste no time, but make a hasty return to his camp. Along the way, he notices plenty of print marks, as well territorial indication along the trees within the forest. Seeing all these markings, Altima roughly guess that the elves village or territories are nearby their camping location.

    As he returns, the Li sisters finally wished to converse with Altima. With the intention of surrendering and willing to serve Altima as his maid or whatsoever he demands. For lady such as the two Li sisters, following a dependable character and thoroughly serve him, would unintentionally benefit their clan. Never to mention, The Li clan is currently on their edge of destruction.

    The ruthlessness of time is an unavoidable issue for every clan. Although they flourish in the previous few generation, but if their future generation is lacking with resources, martial arts, and inheritance, very quickly they will be swallow by the passage of time. For a clan to continue to flourish, a strong alliance is required, unfortunately, Li Clan doesn¡¯t have such far-sighted patriarch to lead the clan, and thus the clan slowly walking to its downfall.

    For Altima, having an additional servant doesn¡¯t bring him any benefits.

    Altima personally nurtures a special cultivation farm. Within the farm, although it is not a large number, but currently Altima is head of a total of 2,000 Heads of Goblins, 1,500 heads of Goblin Berserkers, as well as a total of 3,000 Heads of Lowest-Grade Ancient Elves. With the 500 female elves is pregnant at the moment, Altima could soon expect his total elves will increase into 3,500 in the next 6 month.Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform.

    "What is the specialty of you sisters ?"

    Altima asks coldly, bearing slight intention to reject the sisters.

    "I am good in¡­"

    Li Wen tried to answer Altima''s question first but hesitates as she understands that she got no specialty at all.

    "We sisters are still virgin.. We can warm your bed and be your maid if you wish."

    Li Xin answered for both of them instead.

    "Arrogant and overestimate yourself. Our lord is an Earl under the Wu Di Royal Faction, even the city lord daughter and alliance core member are queuing up to let our earl choose as the marriage partner."

    Said Ganesha. If one look clearly on Ganesha, she is the only female captain in Soul Practitioner Tier. Standing alongside with Altima for the longest time, one can easily read how attached she is towards her Earl.

    With strength and essence in the Soul Tier, Ganesha possesses an exquisite aura which causes people who look on her smitten easily into a daze. Being said to be the prettiest female captain among the Female members of the Royal Faction, Ganesha chooses to stand alongside with Altima instead of behaving like a girl waiting for her marriage.

    "Ah!"

    Li Xin suddenly shouted as she remembered something.

    "Earl, I know what is we sisters specialty is."

    Li Xin quickly appeals for another chance.

    "Said it, make sure it''s helpful to me, instead of treating me like the usual womanizer you see on the roadside."

    Altima gave them another chance.

    "We from Li Clan are naturally born archers. Our archery skills are amazing to the state where we could easily score a bullseye without depending on any special technique or further training in archery."

    Li Xin quickly describes their specialty.

    "How far can you shot accurately ?"

    Ganesha questions their capability.

    Ganesha Cenia Ignizem. A special household where the members of the family are proud of their talents and capability in Martial Arts, Archery and strategy Skills. Comparable to the legend of Sun Tzu in Altima''s previous life, The Ignizem Household produce a countless number of talents, few remarkable one would be the current General under Yang Wu Di personally, General Howard Warlock Ignizem, or the retired Quadruple Swordmaster Cecil Demon Ignizem.

    Even the current Royal Guards, is lead by Ganesha''s two oldest brother, the Southern Tyrant of Archery Seyren Cenia Ignizem, and the Southern Tyrant of Wolf Fang Mace Sura Cenia Ignizem. Except for Ganesha whom still in the Soul Tier, almost all of her brothers and other named title bearer already reach the strength of a King Practitioner of Zen Tier.

    Especially for the Oldest brother Seyren, he had been well known as the King among archers due to his capability to accurately hit his target as far as 600 Metres distance. Be in moving, still, heavily armored, protected with magic, none of them could escape from having the life taken away after being aimed to death by Seyren.

    "We can accurately hit the target as far as 500 meters, be it moving, still or armored."

    Li Wen answered. Among the two sisters, Li Wen archery possesses even better strength, due to her talent in physics, while Li Xin is faster in continuous firing.

    Without wasting a single second, Altima allows the sisters to perform their skills. Totally up to his expectation, the sisters manage to give Ganesha a shock when they casually aim at 500 meters distance bullseye and hit accurately on targets.

    "You are taken, from now on, you will be the archers under Captain Ganesha''s command."

    Altima ordered, and two sets of uniform are passed to them by the supplier''s troops, getting them ready for battle.

    "Thank you, Earl, Thank you!"

    The sisters happily receive their uniform and followed Ganesha to her troop''s section as she bid farewell to Altima. Only she herself know her disappointment, as she excuses herself with a sour yet unhappy face.

    "This Ganesha, don¡¯t she know that my age is younger than her by at least 5 years ?

    Altima, who is only 12 this year, felt like a joke as he sees how infatuated Ganesha is towards him, but unfortunately, Altima had been a girl before his incarnation, and a bisexual on top of that due to her risky and complicated profession. Although falling in love is never easy, but for a person with a firm resolution such as himself, love is an only distraction to his cultivation at the moment.

    Unknowingly to them, the elves actually have some scouts running patrols around their village. Almost immediately, the camp is thoroughly exposed to the elves who excel in Stealth Armament, Sight Armament, and Sign of Life Reading Armament. Moments later, a large number of elves starting to appear within the camps perimeter, but maintain hidden from the guards and patrols point of view.

    (This human group is pretty big, I''m sure they have good amount of food we can steal and bring back to village.)

    One of the Elf speaks quietly.

    (Yes, we should be able to steal a lot of food from them, see the foods they arrange beside the dining table ?)

    Another elf spoken, pointing on the dining table where the troops keep stacking more and more Lan Shen Dalu''s special fruits and nature plantation produces.

    (Only having 10,000 members, and yet they dare to bring such number of foods with them, we should steal all of it and let them return empty handed!)

    The elves prepared themselves, and ready to charge as they found an opening.

    But.

    10,000 Members ?

    Are the elves sure on the numbers of human camped around that area ?

    Unknowingly to the elves, Altima himself too had a plan.

 Chapter 66 - Demonic Bridge Ritual - Heritage Laws (4)

    "My lord, why do you purposely send away all the other captains away and leave only two of us within the camp ?"

    Wang Yan feeling weird, but he could not guess exactly what his lord trying to do.

    "During the moment I return, I found out that there are a few markings and a route that came with some footprints and threading marks."

    "Through this two signs, I can easily guess their action during day and night."

    "As I notice, there are many special skills used by the elves, so I expect there will be somebody with the ability to see through our movement during the night or somebody that can move around us stealthily, and assassinate everybody without a sound."

    "If we are going to face such opponent during our most vulnerable time, why not we prepare a trap to allow them to make a wrong decision ?"

    Altima finishes his word, enlightening Ganesha and especially Wang Yan, who is the slower among two.

    "Oh! That¡¯s why my lord commands the other 8 captains to lead their troops out for a 100 miles distance before they charge back to the camp with ready to fight stance."

    Wang Yan finally has gotten Altima''s strategy.

    "My Lord, but if the Elves take action first, how do we lead our troops to remain defensive until the others return ?"

    Ganesha quickly asks for a solution from Altima, as they are currently acting as a bait to lure the elves within the encampment.

    "I already have all of the sentry troops holding a piece of Water Dragon Cannon with a confining formation. When time comes, they will apply the Water Dragon Cannon and go into a defensive square formation, while the Li sister, which I position them on top of the mountain, will help defend our position."

    Altima explains the strategy while looking on the mountain gorge beside their encampment.

    Earlier before Altima return, he had Mobi scan and do a geography mapping to determine how do he going to fight this war. Along with his path, Altima ran across two dots during Mobi''s Mapping and easily determine the Elves village location.

    As the explanation is over, the 10,000 strong troops get ready for the elves tribe ambush, which came with a loud war cry from the elves side. A total number of at least 5,000 Elves suddenly appeared from the other side of the forest, and up to Altima''s expectation, some of them channeling a few different Heritage Laws along their path.

    (Yang Essence Arrow Armament!) (Yin Essence Dart Armament!)

    (Yang Essence Fireball Armament!) (Heavy Earth Spear Armament!)

    (Speed Run Armament!) (Shadow Passing Armament!)

    (Exploding Fireball Armament!) (Freezing Breath Armament!)

    As the elves came into the perimeters, a large number of different Armament quickly strike into the encampment formation, where a few unprepared troops quickly get injured by the strong offensive power possess by the elves.

    But even facing such strong assault, Altima''s side doesn¡¯t even budge!

    "Come on you Elves! Bring on the challenge!"

    The troops lead by Altima quickly turn around the tide, with a ratio of Human 2:1 Elf, the tides are still favorable to the humans. By utilizing the Water Dragon Cannon with the 23 formations, Stripping Hexagram, the troops quickly choose those elves with Heritage Laws and immobilize them before the troops charge forward and capture them.

    Seeing such change of battle, the elf finally realize what is going on. The humans are not as ignorant as they think!

    (Humans is capturing people with Ritual blessing! Quickly stop them from joining the fight!)

    One elder among the elves quickly pass a message around, but quickly decapitated by Altima without any mercy. Still holding the head, Altima quietly allows Mobi to Apply his brainwave reading before moving to look for another target. While for the prisoner, With the Water Dragon Cannon attached to their body, they are totally stripped from any resistance, while only be able to be tossed around when the fight starting to lean on the human''s side of victory.

    (Run! Run quickly!)

    The elves started to escape into the forest, at the moment, about 200 elves that have Mural Tattoo or be seen chanting for the Heritage Laws initiation had been captured, while around 1,000 elves is dead under the heavy resistance caused by Altima''s troop.

    But as the remaining 3,800 elves escape, another hellish result awaits them.

    (Many Human appear within the forest! Stop going into the forest!)

    A few elves started to get captured before they manage to retaliate.If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.

    The remaining 38,000 Wu Di Royal Troops finally return from their fake exploration!

    With the ratio different of 10 : 1, the elves quickly surrendered.

    Gathered along in the middle of the camp, Altima summons Ta-Ruk out to investigate and do his questioning. Unfortunately, as Ta-Ruk position is too low within the elven Tribe, they decided to ignore Ta-Ruk''s question instead. But all things change as Altima utilize the WU Di Long Fist to ruthlessly pierce 10 male elves chest, leading them to death directly from one strike.

    Afraid to getting the same fate as the unlucky 10 Elves, they started to answer Ta-Ruk''s question one by one. But as the questionnaire goes along, Altima and the other team killed at least another 100 of them each time any of the elves started to bring their attitude above their fragile head.

    The next morning, Altima and their troops finally manage to clear the question regarding the closest Elven Tribe. As there is too many retaliation going on along the interrogations, Almost 4,000 elves are killed, becoming brain juice drink for Mobi, while the remaining 300 among them is held, due to the ritual blessing, and another 700 is elites Elf which had been subdued by Altima personally.

    Weakness: Limited choices of Heritage Laws to practice.

    Threat Level: 3rd Stage Spiritual Practitioner of Zen Tier

    After inspecting all the elves available in the captivity, Altima notices the slight difference between them. 700 exactly of them are elites, while among the 300, only 2 is Karmic elves. The karmic elves are significantly older than the others as well, perhaps their status within the village is quite a high ranking.

    But regretfully, the elves decided that they will not be subdued by the humans no matter what offer or threat is given. Although the troops felt hesitate to slaughter all the elves, but within this world, only the strong is allowed to live, while the weak one could only crawl or beg for their life.

    Within that one night, after Altima finish reading their brainwave and obtain sufficient knowledge from all of them. The elves are all quietly put to sleep. Through using the mixture of a special mixture the human use to obtain blood pellet from demonic beast, all the elves is fed with the Blood Pellet Creation Salve, and a mixture of Golden Hypnotizing Flower Essence, the elves blood are all drained, and kept in a few especially used to keep fresh blood pellets container, before placed inside a spatial ring.

    Just through this night, Almost all of the Troops under Altima command lost their spirit for the first time.

    Slaughter.

    This is totally a slaughtering without any mercy.

    Any without any choices, they are required to march by the next morning to subdue the village which located nearby, to eliminate the possibility of further revenge or future threats brought by the remaining elves. Under Altima supervision, the troops belong to him are not as savage or wild like other commanders.

    Some other commanders from the Wu Di Royal Faction do surrender themselves to lust, pillaging, and slaughtering if they are dispatch to the battlefield. Although the action is immoral, but one could not hesitate and choose to be cruel if they wish to expand their territories.

    "Everyone, Listen."

    Altima speaks loudly, on the next morning.

    "There will be an Elven Village up ahead. Which contained with families and friends and elders of those we kill last night."

    "There will be treasures to plunder, Cultivation ingredient, or even Female elves that ready to be raped, killed and ravaged by us once we captured."

    "Their villages will be burned, their land will be trampled, and their everything, will be lost and required to be rebuild once again."

    "But!"

    "This is not what I want!"

    Altima shouted.

    "I don¡¯t lead the troops here so we could slaughter and enslave them!"

    "I don¡¯t lead you guys here so we can burn their village, kill their families, and rape whoever we saw!"

    "We are not Animals! We are not even Demonic Beast!"

    "If who among you guys are not agreeing with me in this matter, Stand up and come out!"

    "I will personally send you away, and kick you out from my Troops!"

    "If you guys wish to trample over my body and go ahead with your revenge, Slaughter, Lust and Greed, wield your weapon, and come fight over my dead body!"

    With his word finished, Altima withdraws his Wave Surging Spear and prepare to see his troops choices.

    One minute.

    Ten minutes.

    An hour.

    Time passed.

    Ganesha stands and started to speak.

    "My lord, do you think we do not know your ache and hesitation ?"

    "Yes. My lord, if we easily succumb to all this negative and sinful attractions, where would we be now ?"

    One captain stands and states his mind.

    "We are elites of Earl Altima!"

    The most left flank stands and shout."

    "We fight for the Wu Di Royal Family!"

    The most right flanks stand as well.

    "We are Soldiers, We are not Bandits!"

    The left flank in the middle stands.

    "We are human! We are not Beast!"

    The right flank in the middle stands.

    "We Fight for making Lan Shen Dalu one whole family, we are not Slaughterers!"

    The center flank, which personally led by Altima, stands last.

    "If in that case, Troops!"

    "Follow me, subdue the Village, if they wish to surrender, we will accept it."

    "If they retaliate, we will kill, if they offer, we will take!"

    "let us walk past this obstacle, and lead the Wu Di Royal Family to their most glorious moment!"

    As Altima finish his speech, the troops finally march toward the direction where the village located.

    "The Birth of External Department of Justice and Law, Lan Shen Dalu!"

 Chapter 67 - Demonic Bridge Ritual - Heritage Laws (5)

    Through a view from the elves village sentry tower.

    (Elder! There seems to be some movement in the forest, I think Myriale, Gabriale, and Tamriale, is coming home.)

    Said a young elf standing atop of the sentry tower.

    (Good, with Myriale and Gabriale leading, they shouldn¡¯t be any trouble bringing the foods back to village.)

    The elder reply.

    Currently, the village only left with around 200 Elite troops, 500 - 600 elderly overseeing the normal task like the plantation, cooking and processing foods and metal materials, and about 500 female elf walking around as their daily exercise, due to the early period of pregnancy. Another 300 young elves consisting of female and young male child is running around, playing within the village center garden.

    With the first shadow appearing from the forest happen to be a human make clad in armor, the sentry guard quickly shocked and screamed loudly.

    (Human! Human! It is not the two elders and our brother!!)

    His shout immediately shocks those who is walking or located near the village entrance.

    (Human! Quickly shut the gate!)

    One pregnant elf screamed until her lungs are out of breath.

    without allowing the elves to take any defensive action, the troops lead by Altima quickly enter the village and destroy the manual mechanics they use to control the gate, the traps, and the sentry weapons. The other troops that follow alongside with Altima quickly comprehend and capture all the fighting forces scattered within the village, and within two hours of the invasion, Altima''s troops manage to capture all 1,600 heads of elves within the village.

    (Who is the person that have the highest authority here ?)

    Altima speaks in the elven language.

    The elves stare at each other, shocked with the fact where Altima could speak their language, and the tone and proficiency are quite accurate.

    (It''s me.)

    An elder stands up, and shivers as he sees Altima appearance.

    Altima is currently clad with one piece of Feather-light Neolite Garb , and a piece of Master Grade Golden Trihorn Rhinoceros Hide Helm.

    (Go and look around on your peoples, if there is any injured, let me know now.)

    Altima first request is to make sure none of his troops injured the non-combatants.

    (This lord, there is none of my people is injured, except some bruised on our guards.)

    The elder replied.

    (We just killed a large number of elves before we came here. I believe they originated from your village. You may hate us if you want, but this is war, so this result is inevitable. Now there is one more answer I would like to hear from you.)

    Altima speaks, as the other elves heard his word, a few pregnant elves fainted from the shock, while some younger elves rage with anger because their parents are slaughtered.

    (What would this lord will do to us if we decided not to surrender ?)

    The elder pondered for a long time, and finally trying to answer Altima question with a question.

    (Instead of killing everyone, I will make sure all of you is captured. We will be only within this bridge for a month. After we left, we will allow you all to be freed. If you wish to hate us or came in to fight with us, we welcome it anytime.)

    Altima answers the elder''s question without hesitation.

    (If we surrender ? Will we be treated as slaves, and be treated as such for life ?)

    The elder shakes with fear, but in his heart, he knows he must ask this question before he decides the fate of the village.

    Instead of answering, Altima quickly summoned Ta-Ruk.

    As Ta-Ruk came out and communicate with the elder, many exchanges of topic regarding their current life, the place they are allowed to stay, and the quality of life given by Altima to them.

    Listened to what Ta-Ruk says, the elder felt like a dream.

    Placed in a land that spacious and full of the Vigorous energy of Yin and Yang, abundant plants, and fruits to eat, and non-restricted life compared to how they had been living now, how different!

    The elder shared the news regarding surrendering to Altima and persuade the others to obeys Altima command in future. Although there are a few rejections, but at the end, a total of 1,200 numbers finally agreed to surrender, while the others, consisted with many elderly decided to not surrendering to Altima.

    After all of them bear the Water Dragon Cannon on their neck, Altima allows them to enter his spatial realm, and positioned a total of 500 troops to monitor the movement of the elderly as they proceed with their exploration. With the progress continue without halting, Altima''s troops finally move in deeper, and without noticing anything, they finally end up exploring up to 500 Miles from their starting point.

    "My Lord, we appear to travel deep into the bridge for 500 Miles. Currently, the central Ancient Kingdom should be only another 50 to 100 miles away from us."Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

    A captain reports his scouting results to him.

    "If in that case, let us proceed with haste, and have a look on what is offered within the Ancient Kingdom itself."

    "Ganesha, how many day is left before we will be transferred out from this Ritual ?"

    Altima leads his troops to proceed faster, ignoring the surrounding ingredients and demonic beast. Within his map, there is no large group of life being spotted as well, which means there are no elves stationed or living around this area.

    On the same time, Altima checked with Ganesha on the time they have been within the spatial realm.

    "My lord. We are in this world for a total of 56 days. There will be 8 more days before 1 month period pass."

    Ganesha replied.

    "If in that case, let us quickly march into the Ancient City and see what is offered within, perhaps we could¡­"

    "Boom!"

    "Take cover!!"

    "Boom!!!!"

    "My Lord, retreat from this area please!"

    "Roar!!!!"

    "Aowuuu!!!!!"

    "Click¡­ Click¡­. Click¡­."

    Suddenly, tremors appear in front of the troops, and a large sinkhole appeared out of nowhere, swallowing at least 50 troops before the others manage to leap away from sinking into the darkness. In the same time, few humongous being appeared from the sinkhole, and show itself to the world to see.

    "Shit! Shit! Shit!"

    One captain quickly screamed out loud, and charge towards Altima to pull his stead away from the center.

    "My Lord, let us retreat, that¡¯s an early Dao Stage Demonic Beast!"

    The captain speaks in a rush, and pull Altima stead away immediately.

    "Brother, Scan it!"

    Altima quickly has Mobi immediately work."

Ganesha remains alongside with Altima, while Wang Yan charged towards the Dragon Bloodline Golden Fur King Ape, which is the weakest among three, and control its movement to allow Altima to retreat.

    "Ganesha, quickly bring our Lord away from here!"

    Wang Yan rushes Ganesha to hurry with her actions.

    "Ganesha quit this kind of thinking, let us quickly help Wang Yan first!"

    Altima had Ganesha''s hand released from her clutch, and charge directly towards Huo Zhen with his Surging Wave Spear.

    With a charging attack, Altima quickly pierces through the distance and had his spear directly stabbed on Huo Zhen''s palm, resisting the beast slapping action towards Ganesha. But due to the skin thickness is incredibly over exceed what Altima could imagine, his piercing strike causes no damage to Huo Zhen.

    Putting a stronger pressure on its palm, Huo Zhen quickly "push" Altima away from his current position, and continue his attack towards Wang Yan, the stronger among three of them.

    "Golden Wave Howl!"

    Huo Zhen howls toward Wang Yan, where a wave of golden energy quickly blast through the distance and injured Wang Yan.

With the Martial Art preparation step is fulfilled, Altima charge like a released arrow, aiming directly on Huo Zhen''s chest.

    "Useless human, so hot! So hot!"

    Huo Zhen resisting Altima''s fireball attack.

    With both hands holding the fireball enveloping Altima, he finally shouted loudly.

    "Li sisters! NOW!!!"

    "swoosh!"

    Two Arrows coated with Paralytic poison on its tip, flew ahead aiming for Huo Zhen''s eyes.

    But!

    The Li sisters cultivation is nowhere close to Altima''s or Huo Zhen''s level!

    Instead of piercing directly into the Golden Fur King Ape''s eyes, the arrow only barely injured its pupil, causing disruptions on its sight for temporary.

    "Human! Human! How mean of you to play with my eyes!!"

    "I will kill all of you!!"

    The King Ape went furious. Rolling itself into a ball before his fur expanded and getting harder, turning into a porcupine look alike Animal.

    "I will ram you all to death!"

    Finished with his words, the King Ape start ramming into one straight line, causing a few troops in between of the line inflicted with heavy injuries. But the King Ape doesn¡¯t stop right there. It continued to move across the battlefield, causing more and more damage towards Altima troops while Wang Yan is treated by a few Medical team and Ganesha is chasing king ape with Altima.

    "Hateful! Hateful!"

    "This gone too overboard now, King Ape!"

    Altima, finally had his sight filled with rage due to the increasing of casualties among his troops. For him, this number of troops is indispensable. All of them is well trained and loyal to him and the Wu Di Royal Family. In future, they will be the one to lead the troops during further skirmishes, so he required all of them to gradually grow stronger and continue following his path.

    With the feeling of rage within his mind acting as the catalyst of energy, Altima transformed. Lines of murals appearing along with his shoulder plate, neck, and spread across until his wrist. After absorbing about 300 different Heritage Laws Knowledge, Mobi finally able to thoroughly apply the similar concept into Altima''s body, allowing him to utilize the Laws as he wishes, as long the mental requirement is fulfilled.

    "Wrath of Commander Armament - Spiritual Law Armament!"

    "Arrrgh! Pain!!"

    King Ape quickly roll around the ground, breaking his ramming stance and escape from the "Arrow" that flew on its way.

    But Altima''s attack doesn¡¯t just stop at there.

    Applying the Shadow Step Armament, Altima''s movement speed and reaction appeared to increased by 20% efficiency, allowing him to change his direction and recoil of movement without any stops at all. A chain of fist quickly flew out from Altima, raining across the King Ape''s body, leaving the beast crying due to pain.

    When the best moment finally appeared, Altima laid his final strike towards Huo Zhen.

    "Marquis Firecloud Kicking Art!"

    Once again, Altima flew like an Arrow released with much strength, bringing along Fiery smokes and stray flame sparks along the way. The sky started to turn Scarlet in color, and the cloud had been split into two pieces. While on the ground, The King Ape chest is totally pierced through by Altima''s Kick and died standing.

    "Aowoooo!"

    The Silver Wolf King howled loudly and received replied from far away.

    "This is bad, the Silver Wolf King seems to be summoning for its brethen now.

    "Ganesha! Act as you required!"

    Said a captain before he charges towards the golem again.

 Chapter 68 - Demonic Bridge Ritual - Critical Injuries!

    "Ganesha, don¡¯t stop me!"

    Altima resisting Ganesha''s grip, but to no avail, Ganesha is dead serious on moving Altima away from this battlefield.

    "My lord, please, retreat now! Don¡¯t waste the others effort in making sure a safe path for you!"

    Ganesha knows she is not in the position to lecture Altima on his stubbornness, but no matter what, the Earl life must be preserved to make Yang Wu Di''s vision happen.

    "Ganesha, you know we could win if we cooperate together!"

    "Do you want Wang Yan, Hu Wei, Ling Mu, Li Meng and the others all sacrificed ?"

    "Where is our future lies! What will it became if one of us lost here ?"

    "Ganesha, let me go and let us go back!"

    Altima repeatedly speaks without stopping, and finally, Ganesha''s heart soften. Releasing her grip, the duo quickly turns back and rush toward the battlefield once again.

    "Brother Mobi, I will need you this time with the (Primordial Destruction)."

    Altima speaks quietly with Mobi.

    "No problem, as we enter the battlefield, I will immediately cast the (Primordial Destruction) on the spot, and take down that two Dao Stage Beast."

    Mobi replied.

    "My lord, we are here!"

    Ganesha shouted, and prepare her weapon to charge directly towards the golem.

    "Primordial Destruction!"

    With the ability cast, the Golem, and the Silver Wolf King immediately pressured by the changes of the atmosphere surrounding the battlefield.

    "Aowuuu¡­..uuuu¡­"

    "Kriik kriiikkkkk¡­..System¡­Failure.."

    "Guys! Fight with all your might, we will win this and proceed deeper into the Kingdom!"

    With a shout, Altima proceeds with Ganesha and withdraw his Surging Wave Spear and activating his (Medium Wheel of Tai JI) on another hand.

    10 Captains, Except Ganesha in the Soul Practitioner Tier, the other 9 captain is all within Dao Practitioner Tier. Combined with each other, they split into two different forces, Ganesha assisting Altima and another 4 Captains to face the Silver Wolf King, while another 5 captains focusing on the golem.

    Up to its title as the Ancient Battle Silver Wolf King, the speed of Yin Lang is still ridiculously high, where even with some formation and the Primordial Destruction, the group of 6 still face difficulties to capture and control the direction it is heading.

    With only 2 to 3 successful hit from every 10 strikes, the group of 6 started to face the most difficult challenge in this fight, the Stamina and capacity of Essence reserved. Next would be the limit of 20 minutes opportunity given by the Primordial Destruction cast by Mobi.

    Deciding not to keep any reserve within his Essence Storage, Altima tried to activate the Heritage Laws once again. With the same ability and Laws activated, Altima strike like a released arrows, aiming at the back limbs of Yin Lang. battling with speed, the two ridiculously agile beings started to exchange blows to each other while ignoring the fact they are getting more and more injuries.

    One Step!

    Two Step!

    Now!

    With the countdown of 3 is reached, Altima''s trap, a Water Dragon Cannon that he manage to slip into Yin Lang''s abdomen finally exploded. Affected with the slight explosion damage, Yin Lang''s movement halt for a short 3 second, where this is enough for Altima to continue with his next strike.

    Perfectly Refined Wu Di Heirloom Spear Technique combined with Perfectly Refined Nine Yang Mortal Skill Technique!

    Critical Damage!

    With a deep cut directly into the bones to its back limb, Yin Lang immediately got crippled by Altima in one strike, before the captains focus all their attack on the head of this Silver Wolf King. Tried to howl loudly, urging more reinforcement into its side before death, Yin Lang opened his jaw wide.If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

    But!

    "Erasing Fist of Heaven Mark!"

    One heavy Peak Spiritual Tier Martial arts charged with 2nd Stage of Spiritual Practitioner strength strike directly on top of its head, causing the whole head to exploded from the strike.

    With the Silver Wolf King is disposed of, Altima and the others do not hesitate but charge towards the Golem immediately.

    Without doubt. The golem is the most difficult opponent within this 3.

    Although this Jade Stone Demonic Golem is only on its 1st Stage, but with the strength matchable to an Early Dao Practitioner and durable body to withstand any attack, the group have no method to control the golem except exhausting its energy and making it no longer operable.

    With only one final target is left, the group of 11 finally form a formation to efficiently exhaust the strength of the golem piece by piece, especially Altima who specialized in Yin and Yang essence Martial arts. Utilizing both Flaming Sun of Yang and the Spirit Moon of Yin Technique, Altima purposely causes one part of the Golem freezing while another part is burning, quickly destroying the energy flow of the golem within.

    "My lord, the golem is still too strong now, I''m afraid all of us will be exhausted before this golem is down from its energy depleted."

    "My lord, please take some time to rest and restore your essence energy before you are! Urgh!"

    The Captain is grabbed by the golem by a coincidence when it is attacking another captain by the side.

    "Nooo! Li Meng!"

    The other captains are shocked with the out of sudden changes.

    "Brother, the Primordial Destruction limit is reached, I will be out soon!"

    Mobi, on the same time, whispers to Altima''s ears.

    Without the limitation from the Primordial Destruction, the golem''s performance increased into its usual once again. Li Meng is tossed with much force, ramming through at least 10 Miles of trees before he finally stopped from the recoil. Looking at the current condition, his death or alive status is unknown.

    "Medical Team, quickly rush towards captain Li Meng and make sure he is treated!"

    Altima and Ganesha pass down the same order, where a group of the medical team immediately rush towards the direction.

    "Brother, the golem is almost exhausted. I run a deeper energy flow scanning and notice that his core is started to slow down from the momentum."

    Mobi quickly reports his result, but before he continued, Mobi is out of cold as well.

    "Everyone, a little more, and this golem will be down, let us continue handling it!"

    Altima pass his orders around, and soon, the 10 of them continue to restrict the golem''s advance, but this time, it is slightly harder as there is no more Primordial Destruction barrier around.

    "Kriikk¡­Destruction.."

    The group quickly launch all their mightiest attack on the golem, holding it on the ground as they proceed. With the golem''s ability is getting poorer by each minute, the victory is slightly appearing from this deadly fight.

    "Krikkk¡­.Activated.."

    "Guys, Charge on one single point, the golem started to stop moving from its initial position!"

    With the group finally notice that the golem stopped moving, they immediately group together to form a stronger pinpoint attack, and aim to destroy the golem''s core in one shot!

    "Bring down the enemies¡­Krikkk¡­."

    With this final sentence, Altima suddenly notices the difference and what the golem is trying to say.

    "Guys stop your attack, defend yourself with your might!!!!!"

    Altima shouted, and without hesitation, he immediately swings his spear, applying the strongest strike his spear could achieve!

    "Third Surging Wave Covers the Skies!"

    One area damaging skill immediately push all the 9 commanders and the other nearby troops away for a distance.

    "My lord, what are you doing!"

    Ganesha is tossed farthest away due to her being the weakest among 10 captains.

    "Demonic Body Enhancement Art!"

    "4 Stage of Zhen Wu Golden Bell Technique, Full Activation!"

    "Small Wheel of Tai JI!"

    "Medium Wheel of Tai JI!"

    "Get the hell away from here!"

    Altima quickly applies the body art to strengthen his body, and the Zhen Wu Golden Bell Technique to his utmost limit, the two Wheel of Tai JI to defend himself and the outer perimeter, and a few Water Dragon Cannon he premade to handle strong destruction power.

    "Krikkkk¡­..Kill.."

    A shining light blasted out from the Golem.

    A comparable to Dao practitioner strength of explosion is triggered, the golem chooses to self-destruct to bring down all its enemies before it is destroyed. Although with the defensive preparation done by Altima, the shield still destroyed, and the wave of blast spread out towards the nearby area, uprooting all the trees within 20 miles, and causing the land to be barren from any life.

    A few troops stand up from the covered debris, sand, and soil, and quickly rescue the other weaker troops.

    The captain that was thrown not too far from the blast quickly stands and rush towards the explosion point.

    "No! My Lord!!"

    Ganesha, being the most worried among all of them, sprint without any reserve and quickly get to the point faster than anyone else.

    In front of her, is a body standing strong, but is naked from any cloth and defensive equipment.

    A body that even after a heavy blast, but still stand strong, as if it is trying to defend the world from any destructions.

    A body that totally naked, to the point, that even all of his Skin is burnt into non-less 4th degree of burn wounds.

    With such critical injuries, Altima falls unconscious, after facing the heavy destruction power from the Golem.

    In the same time, attracted by the heavy explosion sound and the blinding light, it attracted the forces from the left and right of the bridge.

    Charging over immediately to check on what is happening, the forces reach the location at the same time.

    "It''s actually the forces under Altima and Li Meng. What''s happening here ?"

    Said Duan Tian Ya and Duan Yu Heng, who came from the west direction after traveling without stop for at least 40 miles.

    "This scale of an explosion, I wonder how many people is still left at this location."

    The forces from the east, led by Yang Wu Di finally appears, accompanied by Guinness and Nan Fang Wu Di.

    "Aren''t the one standing in front of them is little brother ?"

    "Wait!"

    "What happen!"

    "No!!!"

    The brothers of Altima, finally notice his sorry figure and charge over, not daring to think about any worst condition and happening.

 Chapter 69 - Demonic Bridge Ritual - Critical Injuries! (2)

    "Ganesha! Explain what is happening here!"

    Yang Wu Di totally lost himself, if not because he is restrained by Nan Fang and the Duan brothers, perhaps he already land a fist into Ganesha and Li Meng for them to neglect their priority task.

    "My lord, we deserve to be put to death! It is our fault for failing to protect Earl Altima''s safety."

    Li Meng immediately replied, but shivering throughout his whole body, as he faces the wrath of Yang Wu Di as he emits the deadly intention to kill whoever standing in front of him.

    "Big brother, let us take a look on little brother first! Calm Down!!"

    Guinness immediately calm Yang Wu Di stirred heart. In between of this few year, Altima had thoroughly made all his brother accept his existence. Dependable and full of honesty when facing each other, Altima manage to cause all his brother to place him within the deepest spot in their heart, irreplaceable by anyone else.

    "Is uncle Hua Guan here ?"

    Yang Wu Di immediately check for a specific person''s existence.

    "Yes! My lord, I am lucky enough to be placed in the same location as Duan brothers during the transfer."

    The person called Uncle Hua Guan quickly came through the barricade made by the elite troops, and appeared beside Altima''s injured body.

    Hua Guan, this elder is one of the most remarkable Doctors and physician throughout the whole Southern State. Practicing the Martial Art of healing, rejuvenate and limb operation, he is the one to look for in case there are any medical difficulties.

    "Uncle Hua, please save our brother''s life."

    Duan Tian Ya is the first person to speak.

    "Uncle Hua, please do your best.."

    Yang Wu Di, with a broken heart, speaks as well. Through his emotional expression, one can imagine just how important is Altima within his heart.

    "I will try my best my lord, no worries."

    Elder Hua immediately starts to diagnose Altima''s condition, while the few other brothers move aside. With additional manpower reaching around 200,000 currently, the military camp immediately burst with life force, where voices are heard almost everywhere within the bridge.

    Soon, the troops that were stationed on the Elves village reach the military camp as well, where after some detail report, they were quickly allowed to rest and ready for the next day deployment. Cheers and gathering among the troops could be heard throughout the night, but within one spacious camp, the 4 brothers, with Uncle Hua, 10 captains included Ganesha and a few more other captains that are loyal to Wu Di Royal Faction.

    "We must not lose our youngest brother in this place. Even if I required to go into the volcano or freezing mountain to gather the ingredient, we must make sure Altima survive through this event."

    Yang Wu Di says.

    "Big brother, all of us think like this too, do not bear all this burden yourself."

    Duan Tian Ya replied.

    "Do you know what Altima says to me before he comes over to our side ?"

    "He asks me, What will be for those without strength ?"

    "And I answer him, those without strength is still a strength. Nobody will be despised, and it will be treated equally altogether, no matter what."

    "But now, I felt so weak. My youngest brother, just to protect my people from sacrificing themselves, choose to sacrifice himself instead. As a big brother, what should I do now ?"

    Yang Wu Di started to blame himself.

    "Enough of this thinking! Yang, you should know your best why we all did this!"

    Guinness couldn¡¯t help but stands and grab Yang Wu Di''s cloth on his chest, and pull him up from his seat.

    "Is this the time to be depressed now ?"

    "Altima had this route cleared, and now the entrance to the Ancient Kingdom is only in front of us."

    "Are we going to retreat because the younger brother is injured ?"

    "Or are you going to give up on your initial path because you can''t take this all ?"

    "If you are, we are going to knock you until your sense came back, and force you to continue this even if you are unhappy with it!"

    Guinness toss Yang Wu Di down to his seat again, where the chair is broken due to the force.

    "Big brother, let us proceed towards the Ancient Kingdom entrance. Perhaps we can get a solution on how to save little brother''s life there."

    Duan Yu Heng added.

    "Guinness¡­ I''m sorry.."

    Yang Wu Di stands back up again, but his head is lowered, instead of looking high and strong.

    "Not possible. It is not me you need to say sorry. It''s our little brother that lying over there, barely living and yet to be dead."The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

    "If you don¡¯t pick up yourself before we march, we will drag you on a stake, and you better return to your usual self before we lose our patience!"

    Guinness continued before he left the camp. But as he exits the camp, he continued with one more last sentence.

    "Brother Altima, if you could hear me, make sure you remember this."

    "We need you now, you better don¡¯t be dead before all of us does."

    Finishing his word, Guinness leave the camp without looking back.

    "Brother Altima, we will make sure you will recover soon."

    Ending their sentence, the Duan brothers leaves the camp, allowing Yang Wu Di to remain within the camp.

    Following along, all the captains and few elite specialist emptied the camp, and leave the camp with only Hua Guan, Altima, and Yang Wu Di.

    "Uncle Hua, how is my little brother''s condition ?"

    Yang Wu Di started.

    "To be honest, I can''t answer you accurately, but a spark of life still remains within this heavily injured body. Through the primary examination, all I could found out is although his mental state is in a comatose condition now, but the Spiritual body doesn¡¯t get any weaker. Instead, it is getting stronger by each second as if the Spiritual body is trying to escape the physical body."

    Uncle Hua explained. And wake up from his seat, leaving Yang Wu Di and Altima alone.

    "I will make sure that silly girl Ganesha comes in to take care of Altima later. My lord, you too should rest, because we need all strength we could muster by tomorrow deployment to explore the Ancient Kingdom."

    "Stupid brother."

    "With this kind of thing happened to you, how could the Wu Di family carve its way throughout the Lan Shen Dalu ?"

    "I will personally make sure we obtain the most compatible medicinal pill, so you will recover immediately. Wait me come back to you. Don¡¯t you dare to leave before our dream is fulfilled."

    With this, Yang Wu Di too leave the camp and allows Ganesha to enter the camp, taking care Altima personally.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Did big brother leave my side too ?"

    "Where am I currently ?"

    Within his consciousness, Altima is sent into a special Dimension, where everything is pitch black, with a background of Stars all over his vision. Feeling like he became an astronaut, Altima floats around the dimension, seeing nothing but only pitch black surrounding, dimly lit with some stars from far away.

    Without knowing how long has he floats around, Altima finally decided to stop from loving around.

    "Let me try to spend some time here to just cultivate myself."

    Adjusting himself into a meditation position, Altima started to cultivate, but within this void space, the Yin and Yang essence are practically not available at all. After struggling for a while, Altima finally gives up from continuing forcing his cultivation.

    "Damn! There is no Yin and Yang Essence at all within this space."

    Altima float again, this time, at a faster pace, where he felt like the space around him started to flows in a faster motion. Within minutes, he felt like he had been moving for at least 100 miles to 200 miles.

    Stopping after he got bored with the traveling around in the void, Altima once again looks for something to do. This time, he chose to practice his martial art instead. Applying many different martial arts he had mastered a long time ago, Altima quickly spends all his attention in practicing the martial art steps without feeling fatigue at all.

    "So, the Heavenly Mark Destruction Fist could be this profound. By applying a different pressure and speed in this two steps, the Fist could transform into a totally different martial arts immediately."

    "I would never imagine that this Flaming Sun of Yang and Spirit Moon of Yin Technique have the similar yet profound activation movement. This Yin and Yang activation step are literally Mirrored toward each other, but profound in the moment of its activation."

    "Yuan Wu Spear of Castle Breaking. Although I cannot summon my spear out now, but based on how I apply this pressure along with the Surging Wave Spear Technique and Wu Di Heirloom Spear Technique, this three different martial Art could branch together to form a more profound Spear movement."

    Through activating the profound steps along his practice, Altima manages to revise his each movement, making each swing of his spear go smoother and swifter. With a continuous flow of Spear dance, Altima came out with a series of Spear Art which is originated from his life experience in utilizing a spear.

    Unknowingly to him, as he continues to practice his martial art one by one, slight changes started to happen in the void surrounding him. The darkness started to get lighter, and a faint background started to appear behind the darkness.

    With the martial arts he possess is totally unrevealed from its profoundness mystery, Altima move on to his understanding in the records he previously obtained from the Altar in Trap of Abyss, which located within the Big Hunt Spatial Realm.

    "Legacy from GoldenLock."

    Bringing out the memories regarding this immortal, Altima tried to understand his legacy once again. By going through the records he mentioned, and the difficulties he faced, Altima understand that when it is his turn, he will face a similar tribulation as well.

    "For one to reach the ascension, he must have a legacy to follow along with his way. The immortal have been through flourish period and the difficult period."

    "Betrayal, and the downfall of his inheritors, tribulation, and disappointment. This all contribute to his downfall. But as strong as he does, he still manages to leave a legacy, to guide the next potentially to ascend cultivators to bear his legacy along their path."

    "Betrayal, Downfall, Death and Reincarnation."

    "I have been through this all. This is my first Legacy, as well as my tribulation."

    "My Second Legacy will be through what I am doing now, along with Big brother Yang Wu Di."

    "To march as one with the Wu Di, to conquer the whole Lan Shen Dalu, to reform the whole continent, and bring us to the equal along the 16 continent! This will be the second Legacy of mine!"

    With the enlightenment in his mind, the void started to get even brighter, and soon, the whole darkness from the void faded. What''s left is only the land where Altima is sitting in meditation posture, a tree that seems at least two to three centuries old, a pond in the middle of the piece of land, and finally, A huge Cauldron that¡¯s empty within but the flame below the cauldron is lit and burning slowly.

    On the same time, before Altima manage to speak a word, Mobi suddenly appeared from the middle of the pond, and hopping on the water surface, until he reaches Altima''s arms.

    "Silly Altima, do you know how afraid I am when you act with such recklessness ?"

    "Sorry brother Mobi, won''t do it again."

    "Anyway, I''m glad we both are here now, it means that we both pass the trial."

    "Trial ? Brother Mobi, what is this place anyway ?"

    "Silly Altima, this is the Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace! (Neidan Bao Gong)."

    "Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace ?"

    "This is the initial stage for one to Ascension!"

    "This means that your Dao of Universe cultivation had reached a certain stage where you already manage to unlock the Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace!"

    "But I didn¡¯t do anything.. ?"

    "You most probably get a certain enlightenment, but you doesn¡¯t know about it."

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Writer''s Note:

    Please take note, GoldenLock''s legacy is during his ancient period, it is not known of why, and when is his legacy is recorded, which is why he state it as 8 Continent in his legacy, and not 16 Continent in the World of Rumanian.

    GoldenLock''s is mentioned in chapter 11, during the moment Altima join the first Big Hunt organized by the destroyed 51st Branch of Thousand Members Guild.

    More will be explained in the Ascension, Bridge of Tribulation, as well as the Legacy / Inheritance / Karma. Please wish me luck in creating a smooth flow to combine this fact all together as a piece of great works!

 Chapter 70 - Demonic Bridge Ritual - Critical Injuries! (3)

    "Big brother, let me take the honor of going to the gate and scout for any abnormalities within."

    Duan Yu Heng promotes himself since he is the youngest among them at the moment.

    "Idiot! Come back!"

    Duan Tian Ya pinches Yu Heng''s earlobe and had him return to his initial position.

    "Brother Guinness, could you take the honor, and lead a team to explore the entrance ?"

    Yang Wu Di asked.

    "With pleasure. Ming, Yue, Yang, Zhao! Follow me and lets open a path for our lord to thread ahead!"

    Guinness ordered four of his most loyal subordinates, and go along with him.

    Riding their Bloody Emperor Stallion, the 5 man team quickly reach the entrance of the Ancient Kingdom. Their first landmark is the destroyed "Ming Shi Men" (Ming Lion Gate). On the side of the entrance, there are two broken statues of Majestic Lion, which is the most significant proof of what is this gate is called.

    Moving the debris along the path, Guinness, and the others quickly opened an entrance for themselves to walk past, but through their leg, instead of riding on their stallion. Due to the Bloody Emperor Stallion is a special breed from the Bloodlust Stead and the Emperor of Snow Horse, the Stallion possess a height of 4 meters and a weight of at least 5 ton.

    As the team enters the city, they were greeted with debris and skeletons all along their way. The city is literally dead from any sign of livings. As they explore around the residential area from the entrance, they conclude that this Ancient Kingdom is really abandoned. Nothing could be found within this area, not even a little of rotten food, beast''s dump or nest, and not even any undead could be noticed within this city.

    "Ming, Yue, go and inform our lord that this area is safe, but let him know that this city is abandoned."

    Guinness had his two subordinate return to pass the message, while he himself checking the wall and other hidden location in case any traps is within before their lord''s arrival.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Meanwhile within the Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace.

    "Brother Mobi, did you receive any information regarding this Inner Palace ?"

    Altima quickly checks with Mobi regarding on this matter.

    "I do have an initial information regarding this matter, and how to cultivate, but I don¡¯t this you are qualified to do this for now."

    Mobi Says.

    "Come On! Don¡¯t be such a stingy old man and keep this secret to yourself!"

    Altima charges towards Mobi.

    "Heh! Come get it if you want!"

    Mobi had the file floats above his head, and bounce himself towards Altima, to deal his strongest, Face Blow!

    As the brother is fighting among each other, Altima utilizes a few tricks he recently learned during the time he is trapped within the void.

    Few special steps applied on his movement, wherein the next moment, Altima manage to dodge Mobi''s flying attack. Taking that as a luck, Mobi increases his speed, and bounce around in the air.

    "Brother Mobi, that¡¯s cheating! How can you change direction in mid-air ?"

    Altima is shocked with Mobi ability in changing his direction in mid-air.

    "You are cheating as well! Who know when did you suddenly learn how to move in such complicated way ?"

    Mobi keeps his momentum, changing direction without stopping, causing blurry waves of mirage around Altima.

    "Brother Mobi, you are slipping!"

    Without moving rashly, Altima opens his arm wide and quickly grab an empty spot in his left side, and coincidently, Mobi next step is within that spot.

    "Damn! I got caught in my best move!"

    Mobi curse, but he know, with Altima new movements, it would be very hard for him to escape Altima''s advanced in capturing his movement path.

    In the end, the File ends up being opened and displayed.

The stronger the cultivation of a cultivator, the faster the Inner Palace 4 treasures will be strengthened. Meanwhile, for the Flame of Dan, it could only be strengthened by providing sufficient Energy Yin Pill and Energy Yang Pill. Some wealthy cultivators could increase their speed through using Extreme Extracts, but in the early stage, the absorption speed will be hindered as one still lack of skills to refine the extract carefully.

    Usage of Inner Treasure Palace

    The Soil of Dao is used to replace the Heaven and earth nutrient, to provide age to certain treasured medicinal plants as a cultivator grows.

    The Tree of Longevity provides Life and Produce which is special to the Cultivators. Each Tree of Longevity provides different yields and type of fruits each century, making the world after ascension flourishes with a different type of produce.

    The Pond of Prosperity allows one to tame and graze a Life within the pond. Limited to only one Beast/Person/type each palace, the life within will be acting as the guardian for the certain Palace and blessed with all the miraculous benefit as it grows.

    The Cauldron of Alchemy is only used for one purpose, which is to Concoct the Golden Fate Pellet. The Golden Fate Pellet contain the purest and thickest essence a cultivator could concoct and could be used during life threatening situation. The Pellet is differentiated into few different stage, and each stage creates a large gap on its effectiveness when consumed.

    Pure - Human - Earth - Heaven - Divine

    The Pure Golden Fate Pellet could be used as the basic cultivation resources or even life-saving medicine as the pellet allows a 10% recovery on user condition without any delays. The 10% includes Kun Cultivating Essence, which helps in providing additional Essence for a cultivator.

    Human Golden Fate Pellet boost a 20% Recovery and Essence, while Earth provides a 40% quantity. Heaven grade carries a total of 80%, and the Divine, allows the user to receive a boost of 200% Recovery and Essence.

    Although it was used widely as the next cultivating resources for those who ascend from the Zen Tier, the Golden Fate Pellet is largely in demand for many cultivators. Although there are 5 different stages of Golden Fate Pellet is available within the world, Only Pure Golden Pellet is widely accepted as the above Zen Tier Currency, while the other stage Golden Fate Pellet is trade and exchanged as the cultivating treasures.

    "So, Brother Mobi, shall we try to concoct and make a few Golden Fate Pellets ?"

    Altima eager to try concoct a few Golden Fate Pellets.

    "My lord, please wake up."

    "My lord, please don¡¯t scare me now. I will be more obedient, and fulfill the duty of a wife. I will carry your spear whenever you go. I will even learn how to cook and wash, instead of carrying only weapons around or acts like a tomboy."

    "My lord.."

    "My lord¡­"

    Ganesha couldn¡¯t stop but keep talking to Altima whom lying down in a Casket filled with recovery medicine and skin recovering liquid. Although most of Altima external injuries and burns had been recovered, Altima still deep in slumber, without any reaction towards the external disturbance.

    "My lord, I will follow you to death if you won''t wake up. Be it alive or dead, I will remain as your most faithful wife and ser¡­..Umph!"

    Ganesha tried to finish her words, but a hand moved toward her lips and stop her from continuing.

    "If your big brother Sura heard this all, he will make sure all my bones is cracked and made me a cripple before he starts lecturing you."

    Altima wakes and stops Ganesha from making any more noises. In the same time, he quotes Sura Cenia Ignizem''s next action, due to their previous encounter.

    Mentioning about Sura Cenia Ignizem, Altima reminds his stories two years ago.

    During the period he returned to the Royal Wu Di City, Altima challenged Sura on his way, as he saw Sura is training with his Wolf Fang Mace. Receiving no mercy, Altima is thoroughly beaten, and almost left half dead on the bed for two weeks. Although Sura had been "taught" by Yang Wu Di for a lesson on taking things a hard way among each other, but for Altima, this Sura is a deeply straight forward person, who will give his all no matter what he does.

    "Everyone!!!! Lord Altima is awake!!"

    Ganesha shouts. Unable to contained her waves of sound, the whole Carriage wall quickly destroyed, revealing what is carried within.

    "Brother Altima!"

    The first reaction came from his 3 brothers that still within the ranks, where all of them came almost immediately to his side.

    But in Altima''s mind, he is thinking about something else.

    "I would never imagine that, within the Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace, No trace of Zen Essence energy is available anywhere. If in that case, I can only refine the Palace when I am in my physical body, and not in the mentally form."

    "And this Ganesha, seriously what is inside this girl''s head!"

    "Ganesha!"

    Altima shouted on Ganesha, after getting too much headache from this lady when he is unconscious.

    "By doing this way you won''t manage to get married. Who would be sane enough to try to marry such a lady ?"

    Altima hit her painful point, causing Ganesha to quiet down instantly.

    "But my lord, I''m just too worried.."

    Ganesha tried to explain, but to no avail, her words couldn¡¯t get out from her mouth.

    "That¡¯s enough, you two. Get a room if you wanna continue the soon to be husband and wife argument."

    Yang Wu Di intercepts their exchange. In that instant, Ganesha''s face seems to be as red as the monkey''s backside from getting embarrassed.

    "Ganesha, no worries. I will make sure Altima knows what is the best for him."

    Yang Wu Di finished his word. Soon after, the group started to venture deeper into the Ancient Kingdom. The deeper they went in, the harsher the reality they start to face.

    Except being greeted by the empty and destroyed buildings, the city is filled with nothing but emptiness along their path, and at the center if the Royal Square, a piece of huge Stone Tablet is erected.

    The demise of the Ancient Sung Dynasty.

    This stone tablet is hereby existed to inform those who is fated to rule the world in their future.

    Beware.

    This world we live in is a cruel place.

    We might exist to rule, but this doesn''t mean that anybody won/t rule over us.

    You may be mighty, but others are even mightier.

    In this world, Although the Realm of Demon Bridge Continent manage to come up with three generation of Kun Tier Masters, but we are still failed to defend ourselves from the higher realm''s opposing forces.

    Remember our enemies.

    Because they might be yours too in the future.

    They called themselves "Ancient Mortal Sect".

    The small faction which been sent to destroy us thoroughly came from the land called the Huo Yun Dalu (Fire Cloud Continent).

    This small faction consist of 9 Kun Tier Masters, so if you are not as strong as them, make sure you do not resist their intention.

    We, from the Ancient Sung, is well known for our prosperity and fertility. Our continent is known as the 12 Xing Dalu (Twelve Star Continent).

    Hereby, we wish you luck in your effort to successfully assimilate our continent into yours, and make your continent prosper.

    We hope our demise will be the passageway for you to pass through this obstacle, and flourish up ahead, carrying our wishes.

    Last Emperor of Ancient Sung Dynasty

    Sung Qing Xu - 7th Stage Warrior Practitioner of Kun Tier.

    Although the tablets contain ancient language and symbols, the runes and essence energy within the Tablet manage to make the people who read the tablet scripture easily understands the meaning within the writing. As they reach the end of the will, there is a total of 12 etched stars, with 4 of them is successfully filled with Essence. With this Tablet as a proof, this means the participant manage to clear another bridge this time, bringing the success to 4 bridge is conquered.

    Very soon, the light envelope all the surviving participants, and forcefully kicked them out from the Spatial Realm.

    Within the 8 Million participants who manage to enter the Spatial Realm, only about 3 Million among them manage to safely preserve their lives within this 10 day of an arduous survival test.

    For this 3 million cultivators, all of them are thoroughly trained and passed the ritual, and how they will fare in their future, it will be depending on how their mental condition will bring them.

    With the existence related to the Demonic Bridge Ritual is all vanished from the Lan Shen Dalu, the forces from all 4 states started to disperse, and return to their relevant places, while for the rogue cultivators, they choose to remain within the nearby city, towns, and villages.

    This time, as the person who manages to conquer the bridge, Yang Wu Di, of course, does not return empty handed. During the transfer out from the Spatial realm, Yang Wu Di is blessed with a King Tier Martial Art, while Guinness and the Duan brothers are rewarded with a piece of Tri-Color Phantom Lotus.

    The Tri-color Phantom Lotus is an abysmal ingredient, rumored to be able to increase a person cultivation by 3 stage ahead. But with a limitation, this Tri-color Phantom Lotus is only usable for practitioner within Zen tier, and not usable as the catalyst to break through the border between Zen Tier and Kun Tier Cultivation.

    Meanwhile, for Altima, he was rewarded heavily by the Spatial realm for his excellent performance.

    "This is the Dao Establishment Pill."

    "This one here is the Core of Jade Stone Demonic Golem. With this Core, I will be able to recreate my own Golem powered and strengthen by my own ability."

    "And lastly, I would never imagine that the Spatial realm will be so generous to reward my effort with this Martial Art."

    This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

    Altima checked on the item he''s rewarded with, and quickly felt impressed with the martial arts given.

    Shadow of Ghost Steps - Second Chapter (Peak Spiritual Practitioner of Zen Martial Arts)

    Skill Description: The second chapter of the Ghost Steps movement art series. Through practice and mastering the martial arts, the user will quickly adapt with the second chapter smoothly and will be able to come out with more specific formations as they go.

    Added together, Altima finally manages to upgrade his martial art into a stronger version, enhancing his possibility in winning a fight tremendously. Without hesitations, Altima pays a visit to the Wu Di Royal Castle, handing over the Dao Establishment Pill to Shen Hu Wu Di as promised during their first encounter in Boulduin City.

    Although the current Boulduin City is no longer exist, but once a promise, always a promise.

    "Old Man, this is the Dao Establishment Pill as promised during the time you pass me the spear."

    Altima handover the box containing the Dao Establishment Pill.

    "Oh, what a dependable young character. Now I realized why Yang and Nan so attached to you."

    Shen Hu Wu Di praised Altima but maintaining his polite attitude towards him.

    "Do you know why would I need the Pill ?"

    Shen Hu Wu Di asked.

    "Please tell, Elder."

    Altima dare not to guess but allows the Elder to continue his story.

    "Five hundred years ago, The Qin, Guo, and Wu Di are nowhere as huge as now. During that period, the Qin is the first to be blessed by the gods, given the opportunity to obtain the Royal Azure Dragon Bloodline Essence. The Royal Bloodline manage to improve the family strength, allows all their member to grow up in cultivating strength without facing any obstacles."

    "Because of this matter, the Qin very quickly started to become the overlord of this continent. But due to the selfishness of the family, they decided not to spread their bloodline to the outside word. The family only pass down the protected bloodline, afraid of allowing their blood to be spread towards people that don''t belong to their family."

    "Due to this decision, the Qin Family very quickly met with their next obstacle, the Lineage Devourer Tiger. The Lineage Devourer Tiger is a special type of cultivating beast. This demonic beast cultivates through devouring the tortured soul from people with strong bloodline power, and through absorbing the soul they tortured without stop, the tiger gains a large amount of boost in increasing their cultivation strength."

    "Only a short 100 years of Reign over the northern and Eastern, the Qin Family started to fall. Their bloodline had been hunted by the Lineage Devourer Tiger, chased to leave their ancestral home from Northern, and until Eastern before the Lineage Devourer Tiger is defeated and killed by the next upcoming Tyrant of the Lan Shen Dalu, the Guo Family."

    "With the Guo Family stumbles across a luck, the family manage to found a treasure left by the Immortal many eras ago, and manage to increase their cultivation, strengthen their family might into another level. During the period about 400 years ago, the Guo Family is well known to be nurturing few Kun Tier practitioner each year. Even until now, nobody dares to challenge Guo Families might in the term of cultivating Martial Arts, and their Cultivating Resources."

    "Very quickly, the Guo Family take over the Northern area, hoping to retrieve another blessing to enhance their bloodline, but unfortunately, the Guo Family had none among them that have the idea that their cultivating resources will be depleted in the future. Soon, the calamity falls. Due to the increased competition among family members to obtain the leftovers of cultivating resources, the family falls into an internal strive."

    "The family that glorious for a total of 150 years, manage to almost take over the whole Northern and Western, finally failed to preserve their family strength. Instead of being killed by the external forces from outside of the Continent, the Guo Family internal strive quickly kills off many of their own family members. Betrayal and fights occurred everywhere. Bloodlust blinded all their eyes, and cultivating resources is snatched, passed and changing hands along their way."

    "with the peaceful 50 years of silence. the Northern, that ruled by the internally destroyed Guo Family, and the hunted Qin Family, which finally resides in the East, slowly regain their strength, but of course, it would never replace their previous glorious day as before."

    "This is until 200 years ago, the Southern and Western finally came out with twin brothers whom born in the wrong time and bearing the most heaven-defying fate. The brothers originally born from a normal farmer family, but as they grow, they notice that their state of growth is different compared with other kids."

    "During that period, no overlords taking over the land, so the land is always in turbulence. Small conquerors, Leader of Bandits appear everywhere, enslaving normal peoples and forcing them to produce more and more cultivating resources to increase the strength of their groups."

    "With the family of the Twin brothers is soon being chosen as the target, the parents were killed directly in front of the brothers, and the brothers has separated thereafter. Nobody knows what happen next, until 50 years later, An Overlord appears within the West. The Overlord named himself Ming, and created a Sect called Ming Sect."

    "During the Formation of the Ming Sect, many people within the West bath in blood. Killing is seen everywhere, and the Sect is literally built by placing corpse underneath of the place they standing. The Ming Sect grows even outrageous, they started to charge out from the West, and directly trying to claim more lands to allows their Sect to grow stronger."

    "But during that time, Another ruler appears from the South. This ruler leads his family and peoples, and protect the other 3 states from the Assault of the West. The ruler''s name is Wu Di. The war goes along for hundred years Until the Ruler Wu Di leads his people to victory by pushing back the invasion from the West."

    "But in return of the Victory, Wu Di surrender himself and been killed within the Ming Sect, carrying his last word says,

    I Had my promise fulfilled to my people, and to my next Generation.

    But in return, I had betrayed my brother''s trust.

    I will leave the legacy of Wu Di to you, Pang. Shen, Follow your father well and make the Wu Di family proud of their name.

    "Leaving behind this words, the ruler Wu Di perished from the world."

    "Now, it''s related to the origin why I would need the Dao Establishment Pill."

    Shen Hu Wu Di finally return to the main topic.

    "Old Man! You finally come back to your main discussion!!!"

    Altima almost fell asleep listening to the history of Lan Shen Dalu.

    "Thirty years ago, I had a clash with the Qin Emperor, Qin Shu Bao."

    "During that time, both of us is carrying the strongest cultivator title of Lan Shen Dalu."

    "Our match goes on for 5 days, where finally, I am able to achieve my victory, injuring Qin Shu Bao and cause him to bring his troops and retreat from the South."

    "But through the clash, I overused my Blood energy, and because of this, my strength quickly depleted and plummet from the stage of Peak Practitioner of Zen Tier to merely an Early Spiritual Tier."

    "I ventured along the southern, trying to keep this as secret while looking for an alchemist that good enough to concoct me a Dao establishment pill."

    Shen Hu Wu Di stopped, and sigh for his fate.

    "And there is where you found me, in Boulduin City ?"

    Altima spoke the next word Shen Hu wish to say.

    "Yes. And to my expectation, here you came with the Dao Establishment Pill."

    Shen Hu Wu Di continued.

    With the story-telling ends, Altima return to his Manor, and taking a short rest before he returns to the Troops training square two days later.

    But before he manages to start his training, Altima is greeted with a messenger from the Wu Di Royal Family.

    "My lord Earl Altima."

    The messenger greets Altima.

    "Speak your words, what is coming from the Royal Family ?"

    Altima replied, but without any patience.

    "His majesty had summoned Earl to the castle as soon as possible."

    Immediately, after receiving the summon, Altima rush to the Castle with haste.

    "Brother Yang, Brother Duan, Brother Guinness."

    Altima entered the Castle, straight to the Hall of Meeting.

    With all the relevant people is here, the time for the important part of this meeting finally starts.

    In the next coming 1 month, The Monarch Ark will arrive at the Lan Shen Dalu for the once every 10-year auction.

    As grand as the name, the Monarch Ark is actually a huge flying barge, with the length at least 1000 Metre Long and 400-meter width. This barge came in 10 storey heights, with 10 floors within the Ark. Managed by the Immortal Ascension Treasure Sect, the barge travels around the world and arrived at this location every 10 years.

    With this Ark floating above the Continent, many people who live through the age knows that this is the period to sell and trade all available treasure and resources with the people within the Ark. Inside of the Ark, there consist at least 1 Million, different traders and merchants, awaiting the chances to trade many different materials each time they travel.

    Through this way, the Immortal Ascension Treasure Sect manage to become one of the few Huge Sect, where the Sect itself carrying at least 50,000 Kun Tier practitioners.

    "This time, the Royal Treasury had prepared abundant resources to exchange for some treasures that might be available within the Ark. In the same time, I wish we could have the chances to participate in the Immortal Treasure Auction, which will be organized and opened on the last day the Ark will remain within the continent!"

 Chapter 72 - Immortal Ascension Treasure Sect - Primodial Ark! (Special 100,000 Views Chapter!)

    Immortal Ascension Treasure Sect.

    Came originally from one of the farthest continent located at the edge of the World of Rumanian. The continent is well known as "Sheng Shu Dalu (Saint Tree Continent)". Within the continent, exist a special family of trees, which blessed with the Immortal blood, and manage to preserve, and convert the Essence Energy of any kind into floatable devices and tools.

    But due to this reason, the continent is robbed from any other resources. Plantations, Mining Veins, and even Beast would find it difficult to live within this continent due to the lack of sufficient essence energy required to cultivate and grow.

    It was when the first leader of this continent, who crowned as the Strongest King among the Saint Tree Continent, came out with the suggestion that instead of taking over the whole world, they should be doing trading with other continents to ensure their continent last for ages.

    With the populations agreed with this suggestion, very quickly, the Immortal Ascension Treasure Sect is established. Starting off with Slavery trading, the sect quickly establishes a quick fund to purchase a large amount of cultivating resources and other treasure, to be traded among nearby continents.

    Thousands of years later, this sect is well known among all the powerhouse in between the 16 continents. Traveling around the world of Rumanian to deal with trading, this Sect contain immeasurable strength, making nobody dare to challenge their capability or have any intention to overtake this sect and pillage their treasures.

    In return for this privilege, the Sect provide a special deal to all 16 continent, promised to exchange and trade all available treasures with an equally fair price.

    If one would propose which powerhouse is the most wealthy within the World of Rumanian, perhaps without any further thought, everyone will place the Immortal Ascension Treasure Sect as the only one without a doubt.

    Currently, the Primordial Ark announce their arrival to this Blue God Continent one month earlier, to allows the people within the continent to prepare for their trade and exchanges. The rough detail of the Final Day Auction, and the treasures within the auction is given out as well, to allow cultivators to prepare the fund to bid for it.

    Many outsiders, from few nearby continent, pays a visit as well, hoping to land a lucky strike on getting some treasure before the auction starts. Coming along with this auction that comes once every ten years is one of the grandest events within the continent, called the "Grand Auction of the Primordial Ark".

    "Say, Brother Mobi, do you think we have the qualification to participate in the Auction ?"

    Altima questions his brother regarding on this upcoming event.

    "Maybe we will have some chances. Don¡¯t you remember that your Brother Yang says that each of us is allowed to participate personally ?"

    Mobi reminded him again.

    "Of course I remember! Anyway, brother Mobi, let''s start to get to work now."

    Without delaying his production, Altima enters his Private Cultivation Farm and oversee the production within.

    After storing the ingredient for such a long period of time, Altima finally has the time to concoct all the products. With his concocting skills reach the Late 9th Stage of Concocting Practitioner, it is only a little more time required to break through to the Early Stage Concocting Master.

    "Finally!"

    Altima spends his first 8 days to concoct a large number of Boosting Zen Pill, added with the help from Mobi, he finally succeeds in concocting a total of 1,500,000 Pills for the trading.

    But this was not all, Altima spend his next 8 days, to complete his other concoctions, where he finally ends with a total of:

    100,000 of Ten-Yang Boosting Pill - Peak Grade Warrior Tier Medicine

    20,000 of Small Spiritual Reviving Salve - Low-Grade Spiritual Tier Medicine

    50,000 of Marrow Cleansing Elixir - Low-Grade Early Enhancement Elixir

    50,000 of Body Cleansing Elixir - Low-Grade Early Enhancement Elixir

    500 of Warrior Establishment Pill - Warrior Tier Establishment Pill

    100,000 of Water Dragon Cannon (NonFormation) - Battle Concoction

    500,000 of Beautification Pellet - Low-Grade Cosmetic Medicine

    500,000 of Vigor Enhancing Pill - Low-Grade Sexual Medicine

    With all the available ingredient completely concocted, Altima next move towards Gunther, and looking forward on the Armoury section within the treasury.

    "Gunther, what is your current inventory within this treasury ?"

    Altima checked with Gunther on his current weapon produced in hand.

    "My Lord, without stopping, I manage to increase my skill, now I am an Elder Master Rank Blacksmith."

    "Now inside the treasure, I have made a total of 50,000 Soulless Warrior Stage weapons, divided equally into Spears, Broad Swords, Sabre, Staff, Gloves."

    "Other than this, I have made another 1,000 Soul Infested Grade Warrior Stage Weapon. 500 of them is spears, while another 500 is Swords."

    "Master, Could you give me your Surging Wave Spear and the Deadly Yin Yang Spear to me ?"

    As Gunther explain, he suddenly pays interest on the two main weapons Altima use all the time.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

    "Reasons ?"

    Altima neither reject or accept his proposal.

    "I am an Elder Master, My Lord, I can Make stronger weapon."

    Gunther answers his question.

    Altima hesitates a little, but after a little consideration, he finally give in to Gunther, due to his eyesight towards Altima is speaking on behalf of him as well.

    "Yes, My lord, I have few more things to let you have a look."

    Gunther received the two weapons, and bring it along with his way.

    As they both reach another end of the treasury, Gunther opened the lock he used on the treasure box, and bring out the item kept within the box.

    "My lord, this is what we found inside the Mining Veins."

    Gunther brings up a piece of huge Crystal, and after scanning and inspection from Mobi''s interface, the result came out to be unexpected.

    "Dao Grade Tool Soul Zen Crystal."

    "I would never believe that out of sudden, this kind of item appeared in this spatial realm. Brother Mobi, do you think we could have a possibility to have a crystal vein ?"

    Altima looked on Mobi when he talks, but he swings his hand immediately after seeing Mobi''s expression.

    "Brother that¡¯s not your food!!"

    Mobi Charge!

    "Brother!"

    And there it goes, two brothers fighting with each other for the ownership of this few piece of Dao Grade Tool Soul Zen Crystal.

    The Crystal in the Rumanian is divided into a few different Type, Form and also Stages.

    Mainly use to infuse a soul into tools, thus strengthen the tools to assist the cultivator in many ways.

    The Crystal not only divided into stages, starting from Early Grade, all the way to King Grade, it is also divided from the Zen Crystal onwards, and up to the Kun Crystal, although the chances to encounter one are low.

    Next is the type of Crystal. There is 4 type of Crystal, which is the Soulless Crystal, the Tool Soul Crystal, the Beast Soul Crystal and lastly the Mutated Crystal. The soulless crystal is the most basic type of crystal, with the usage of refining the other soul weapon and tools.

    The Tool Soul Crystal is as the name says, to provide a tool soul to a weapon or an equipment, or accessory. The refined tools will be able to preserve and keep a soul within, and be activate at the user''s will. The tool soul could provide the user with strength such as lengthening the coverage of the deadly weapon aura, increase the durability during the clash with an opponent weapon, controllable by mental directly when refined into throwing weapon, or even extremely heavy destructive strength when impact.

    For the Beast Soul, the refining ordeal is even more difficult. A Beast Soul Crystal is required to absorb hundred to thousands of Pure Blood Essence from the beast before the Beast Soul Crystal could take a form. But upon successful refinement, the tools refined with the Beast Soul Crystal could summon an Essence created beast, to act as the user wished.

    But one difficulty remains. The Beast Soul is spiritually attached to the tools it is refined, if whichever is injured or destroyed during the battle, the others will lost its usability as well. But despite the risk, many users will choose to obtain a beast soul refined weapon and tools, due to the doubling capability it provides to the user.

    Lastly, is the Mutated Crystal. This crystal only has one use, which is to refine the body of a cultivator itself. Although the effect is still unknown to the world yet, but a result should come out soon, when the user of the crystal manage to achieve the success from refining this mutated crystal. Currently, the effect is unknown to the world.

    "Brother Mobi, if we manage to put this into the auction, I believe we could fetch a good price for it!"

    Altima hold Mobi, as Mobi just remembered that his own Spatial produce is non-edible!

    "Gunther, is there any sign that there is any more of these crystals around the mines ?"

    Altima inquiries about the mines.

    "No more my lord, at least for now, the goblins manage to harvest a good amount of Arsalite, Briolite, and Neolite, but there are none of any other metals around the mines for now."

    "My lord, I heard from the Elves, they found a new type of plants, and they wish to meet my lord to offer the fruits to you."

    Gunther continues.

    "I didn¡¯t see Victor and Vector anywhere."

    Altima asks his next question.

    "My lord, Victor, and Vector went over to the Yin Yang Cultivation Circle within the northern mountain, to cultivate. Silvia is together with them."

    Gunther replied. Upon listening to his words, Altima finally notices why Silvia, the Silver Six-tail Fox, never appear beside him when he enters the spatial realm.

    With nothing left to withdraw into his inventory, Altima proceeds to the east, to meet the Ancient Heritage Elven Tribe. As he reaches the Tribe''s village, Altima is greeted with an amazing tree made manor, with many smaller compartment attached to the huge tree that resides by other elves. Few pregnant female elves had already given birth, so they could be seen breastfeeding their infant while taking shade under the trees.

    "So.. Elves breastfeed their infants as well."

    Altima speaks to himself.

    "My lord, greetings."

    Ta-Ruk immediately kneels beside Altima and give him the most bow.

    "Stand up, Ta-Ruk. You''re no longer a slave under the elves monarchy."

    Altima hates this kind of greeting.

    As Ta-Ruk stands, Altima started to notice some slight difference in Ta-Ruk.

    "What happened ?"

    Altima couldn¡¯t help but ask.

    "My lord, when we enter this spatial realm, most of the elves had benefitted from the amazing essence energy released by the nature surrounding us. My cultivation is the most stable among others, but due to old age, I failed to participate within any of the rituals."

    "But this time, I manage to pass the ritual requirement, thus I had grown and to my surprise, I actually leap a few stage, directly from the Low-Grade Ancient Elf into a High-Grade Ancient Elf. But perhaps my age is slightly more than the others by a few times, so I am nowhere taller than the other Low-Grade Ancient Elves."

    "Oh, My lord, we found this fruit borne by the tree we are living below. Perhaps it was due to the life energy contribute by the elves within this area, thus the tree started to bore a special kind of fruits."

    Ta-Ruk passes two fruits to Altima hand and started to walk away to direct the other younger elves to continue their work, harvesting material for their lord to use later.

    "Brother Mobi, Scan this fruit."

    Altima quietly speaks.

    "On the way."

    "Report is out."

    Azure Skylight Essence Fruit

    Usage: Concoction ingredient for Zen Migration Golden Tablet

    Notes: The Azure Skylight Essence Fruit could only be found under the Skylight Tower Tree. For the land to germinate the seed into a sprout, a sufficient Yin, and Yang Essence Energy is crucial. Without a stable Yin and Yang essence, the tree will suffer major essence malfunction, causing the sprout to become poisonous. But as the Tree grows, they will bear fruits which called Azure Skylight Essence Fruit, which could be used for a most crucial concocting ingredient for the Zen Migration Golden Tablet. The fruit is one of the most highest quality Delicacies as well, carrying the essence flavor enough to feed 100,000 people through one fruit.

    "Another treasure just landed on our hand. If we could actually utilize this fruit to sell at the auction, perhaps getting a concocting recipe to concoct a Zen Migration Golden Tablet is not impossible."

    Altima pondered for a while.

    And finally, after all, this disturbance, Altima decided to leave the spatial realm and explore a few different town and city to search for different treasure to land him a place within the Auction.

    Due to the Primordial Ark announcement is passed around the whole continent, the towns and city become even livelier, while those villagers from outskirt started to get more active and impatient. Along with his way towards the opened border to the north, Altima stumble across a few crystals, where he spend around 10,000 to 50,000 to purchase those Early and Warrior Soulless Zen Crystals.

    Sometimes along his path, Altima manage to found some slight treasures as well, such as some Neolite Ingots, some Warrior stage Soul infested grade weapon, and the best among all, is a High-Grade Beast Core, which is good enough to concoct a Spiritual Tier Tempering Medicine.

    Finally, Altima reaches the first city he will need to pass through to enter deeper into the north.

    "The Sun and Moon Great City, The Great Plains of Northern"

 Chapter 73 - Immortal Ascension Treasure Sect - Primodial Ark (2) (Special 100,000 Views Chapter!)

    Sun and Moon Great City.

    From far, this city looked like a metropolis, covering a huge area at least double of the sizes of Martial Emperor City. Within this city, it contains two exceptionally strong power, in which either one makes a movement, the whole Blue God Continent will be affected by all of their actions.

    The first one is located in the center of the Moon Great City, known as the Ancient Moon Sect. Due to the well-known fact that this is one of the oldest Martial Sect within the continent, the sect manage to flourish along its way, building up the strength since 500 years ago.

    The second would be the Hundred Protector Alliance. Located in the center of Sun Great City. The Alliance is a combination of 108 different families, differentiated by stages. The family is well united, granting this alliance a flourishing 200 years of glory.

    With this two strong faction residing in each of the sides within the Sun and Moon Great City, no external force would ever try to capture this city, thus allowing this city to grow without any restriction. This city is well known as well for its leading in their market street, where almost all treasures within the Blue God Continent could be obtained here, as long one has sufficient resources to exchange.

    Entering the city, Altima has no choice but to pay 10 Balancing Zen Pill as the admission fee to enter.

    Divided into two different Section, the Left Sun and Right Moon and Yin Yang Central, the city is divided into a few different area, which accessible only by certain qualification.

    In the left Sun, there consist of only 4 areas. The Hundred Protector Alliance, the Martial Art Trading Hall, the Pavilion of Midnight Dew, and lastly the Guo Clan Central Market.

    The hundred Protector Alliance had claimed about 80% of the city area, only leaving 20% for the other 4 establishments to take place. Due to a large number of family within the Alliance, the Left Sun area mainly acts as the residence for the families within the Alliance.

    While for the Right Moon, the balance between the city area is more refined, the Ancient Moon Sect only taking over 50% of the city area as their base of operation, due to their Sect headquarters is actually positioned deeper within the north, in a mountain area called the Mountain of Moon Goddess.

    The other few area is distributed into the Million Gold Escort Agency, the Moonlight Blacksmiths, the Tower of Wish, the Practitioner Exchange Manor, and lastly the Moon Rider Troops Headquarters.

    In the Yin Yang Central, one would thoroughly pass the Market Street, the Hall of Sun and Moon, to reach the City Lords Mansion and Military Square. Behind the City, Lord Mansion is the Cave of Royalty, where rumors about all the treasures held by the Sun and Moon Great City is all stored within the Cave.

    As Altima enter the city, he was greeted by many porters and guides, all requesting to be chosen to be Altima''s guide within the city. Although the payment is only 50 Balancing Zen Pill per day, but through one of them, Altima would be able to receive better treatment and fair price depending on the skills and the capability of the guides.

    Altima had a scan on them, to check their range of experience, the state of mind, and the threat meter, to select a person that¡¯s most dependable. Out of his expectation, the results suggest that the kid that sitting on the wooden barrel would be the best choice.

    "You, Kid. Come over and bring me around the town."

    Altima called out to that child.

    "Dear sir, please reconsider, that kid doesn¡¯t have a good reputation. Many people he guided end up with losses and he knew too little people to give you good offers."

    One older porter, around the age of 30 speaks.

    "Yes, Sir please reconsider your choices. Choose me instead, I can lead you directly into the Moonlight Blacksmith and get you immediate offer to refine and craft weapons or armors in the fairest price."

    Another porter around the age of 25 added.

    "It is fine. You, kid. Come up and start your work."

    Altima rejects the other''s offer and walks directly to that kid he just points out.

    "Didn¡¯t you hear what they say about my reputation ?"

    Instead of appreciating Altima''s selection, that kid tried to remind Altima to revise his selection once again.

    "I trust my eyes. So are we starting with you leading the way, or should I get lost in somewhere inside the city, got disturbed before you have to take responsibility ?"

    Altima replied, and continue with his words.

    "Fine, what is your motive coming to the Sun and Moon Great City ?"

    The kid hopped from the barrel, and start asking for Altima''s motive here.

    "Preparation for Primordial Ark and the Grand Auction."A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

    Altima replied honestly.

    "So, you are a walking Cultivation Cow. Beware, there will be many people staring at your wealth and rob you when you least expecting."

    The kid replied him back, and start walking to the Right Moon direction.

    "Where should we starts first ?"

    Altima can''t help but ask.

    "Million Gold Escort Agency, if you can''t protect yourself. Practitioner Exchange Manor, if you could."

    The kid replied.

    "Let''s go to the Manor. What do they call you ?"

    Altima chooses a destination and tried to get the kid''s name.

    "Gan Ning."

    The kid replied, and continue walking away.

    "This kid seems to have something up his sleeves, I''ll see what is his trick next."

    Altima keeps quiet and follows Gan Ning along the way.

    After 30 minutes walking, Altima and Gan Ning reach a not too big but well built Manor, with a signboard written "Practitioner Exchange Manor". There are many people queuing to enter the hall, but before they are allowed, they need to show the type of item they wish to bring into the exchange.

    Instead of queuing along, Gan Ning speaks with the guards for a while, before returning to Altima''s side and tell him the content of the discussion.

    "The guards say we could enter and purchase or exchange for treasures within the manor if we are willing to enter through the bulk purchase entrance."

    "The entrance is located at another side of the building, concealed with a seal to hide it from the eyes of the common practitioners and hooligans."

    "What do you think ?"

    Gan Ning tells Altima what selection he has.

    "What''s the trick behind this deal ?"

    Altima caught the wind of what Gan Ning needs to obtain this entrance. Thus he asked.

    "Minimum purchase of 5 treasures and above, and a proof you have more than 100,000 Balancing Zen Pill in your inventory."

    Gan Ning replied.

    "Take this Royalty Seal to the guards to have a look, and get the entrance location quickly."

    Altima passes him the Seal of Earl of Wu Di Royal Family, and a spatial ring contained 100,000 Boosting Zen Pill within.

    Very quickly, Gan Ning return with two guards, and being lead along to a hidden path beside the manor. After placing a seal on the wall and activated, a gap opened, with a female coming out dressed lavishly.

    "Young Master, please follow me to the Listing Hall within our Practitioner Exchange Manor."

    Altima is invited to follow the female, but Gan Ning is held outside.

    "Let my porter follow along. It would be good for him to open his eyes too with the treasures within the Manor."

    Altima speaks to the Female Servant.

    "Young Master, the entrance is restricted to 5 Minimum purchase per head, if he came in too, you will be needed to purchase 10 treasures at least."

    The female servant replied.

    "That won''t be an issue, Gan Ning, come in with me."

    Altima waves his hand to Gan Ning before he continues to walk deeper into the manor.

    "This person¡­"

    Gan Ning wanted to speak something, but the words don''t come out from his mouth.

    "Young Master, What is it you are looking for ?"

    The female servant inquires.

    "Anything that worth a purchase, start with your oldest thing, and focus on martial arts,recipes, and tools."

    Altima gives vague answers and looking forward on what the servant could let him see.

    "Young Master, what do you think about this 4 different Martial Arts ?"

    The female servant doesn¡¯t dare to show the most expensive martial scroll to Altima straight away, so she bring up a total of 3 Master Stage Martial art and 1 Spiritual Stage Martial Art.

    "So, young master what do you think about this 4 Martial Arts ?"

    The female servant quickly checks with Altima''s decision.

    "Wrap it up, bring me the others to have a look."

    Altima replied. Instantly, the face of the female servant is shocked with the quick and decisive choices made by Altima.

    "I¡­Immediately young master. Please wait for a moment while I went to the cashier to process your payment."

    The female servant quickly moves to the cashier to process the purchase, while walking into the treasure hall to retrieve more treasures for Altima to have a look.

    "Seems like the rich Cow is enjoying his shopping around here."

    Gan Ning intercepts, destroying the silence within the room when the female servant is away.

    "Yes. Seems like the little kid here is stagnant from his current cultivation because he has a pretty bad reputation. The Iron Plate Body Tempering Art and the Wolf Conqueror Fist is purchased for you, go learn and master it, It would help you in breaking through the Warrior Practitioner Stage."

    "But of course, it would be after I remember the content within the martial art scroll before you gonna take it."

    Altima replied. At the end of his words, Gan Ning started to become speechless after listening.

 Chapter 74 - Immortal Ascension Treasure Sect - Primordial Ark (3)

    Making Gan Ning speechless, Altima awaits the next upcoming treasure that the female servant will bring over to let him have a view.

    Out of his expectation, another much more stunning lady walk along with the female servant that went off to process Altima''s purchase before. As the duo entered the room, the stunning lady introduces herself to Altima.

    "Greetings, young master. I am one of the managers of this Practitioner Exchange Manor, call me Lan Qi."

    Lan Qi introduces herself to Altima, and immediately proceed to receive the item passed by the female servant.

    "Young master, please take a look at this concocting recipe."

    Lan Qi quickly unfolds the concoction recipe to Altima''s view, while showing some seducing posture focusing on her opened cleavage.

    Gan Ning almost had a nosebleed, because Lan Qi is known as one of the 10 most beautiful flowers within the Right Moon area. With ample breast, curvy body shape where it enhances her seducing posture, silky jet black hair long to her bosom, Lan Qi possess the qualification to be called as one of the City Toppling Beauty within the North.

    In exchange, Altima instead focusing on the content within the Concocting recipe. Although the concocting recipe is older than its look, but from Altima''s understanding, this recipe does not hold any value!

    "Ms. Lan. If the Manor takes this kind of medicinal recipe as treasures, I''m afraid to tell you that this recipe doesn¡¯t worth even a single pill if you are selling it to the Concocting Masters."

    Altima confidently speaks against Lan Qi. With his rank recently raised into the Concocting Master Stage, Altima current skills is more than enough to determine a value of a recipe by looking at the ingredient and the concocting methods.

    "This recipe (Bloody Tempering Pellet), Although the content of the ingredient, is legit, but unfortunately, they did not explain how the concoction should be processed, thus when the concocting results come out, the person who concoct this will be dead in contact with the solutions before he knows what had just killed him."

    "Ms.Lan won''t be telling me that you are selling a weapon to especially kill an alchemist, am I right ?"

    Altima finishes his word, and roll the recipe scroll soft but with a little essence application, causing the scrolls to return to Lan Qi''s palm softly.

    "Of course not, young master. You had just passed our test. Young Master Altima, or should I call you Earl Altima as well ?"

    "Anyway, we are honored to have you to visit our establishment. Young master, please take a look on this few item."

    Lan Qi returns the scroll to the female servant and retrieve a correct scroll this time.

    "Ms.Lan, I have only a week to spend around here, let us not beat around the bush too much. Take all of it out directly, I will make a purchase if I see its qualify to enter my sight."

    Altima states his intention directly, and so, Lan Qi does not hesitate but bring out treasures within the spatial rings to allow Altima to choose from.

    With all the treasures is placed in front of him, Altima stands and start walking around the room, inspecting the treasures one by one. In the same time, this serve as a good study and information collecting for Mobi and Interface, due to the treasure that scanned before by the interface, will have more details recorded, thus allowing Altima to perfectly determine the usefulness.

    Instead of replying again, Lan Qi moves automatically. Shocked with his wealth, Lan Qi is wondering should she continue to bring out some treasures for him to have a look. Currently, within the Manor, almost all Spiritual rank range treasures had been brought out, leaving their manor empty. Although there is another 50 more type of spiritual items still on display within the room, but those items is trash and ridiculously made treasures.

    Only a True Cultivator have the ability to read and determine a worthiness of a treasure!

    Currently, Altima had spent a total of 6,465,000 pills to purchase the 13 different treasures within the Manor. Without having a second look, Altima turns towards Lan Qi and start a conversation with her again.

    "Ms.Lan, if there is any concocting recipe within your manor, please bring it out. If not, this Earl will excuse himself and visit another place."

    Altima speaks and awaits Lan Qi''s reply. Without a second of consideration, Lan Qi speaks with the female servant and pass her a piece of Jade Tablet, and had her return to the treasure room to retrieve some treasures.

    "Young master, this manor does possess two special Concocting recipes, but we are in-experience enough to determine the value of this medicine product."

    "So, the Owner of the Manor decided to sell this two recipe to the owner if the owner could produce a sum of the medicinal product as an exchange."

    "Of course, with the bond between the Owner of Manor and the buyer is complete, the Manor will hold no regret or patent rights on how the buyer will utilize the product."

    "There she comes, young master."

    Lan Qi replied Altima''s question, and explain the difficulties of the manor in selling this two concocting recipes. While waiting and listening for her explanations, the female servant return with two special scrolls that made from the hide of a special Demonic Beast.

    "The Manor is willing to exchange the ownership of this medicinal recipe if young master willing to sign a 50 Drops of Yin Yang Tear Drops and 100 Pills of Brilliant Spirit Pill bond to own this recipe. Of course, the ingredient is available within the Manor to be purchased."

    Lan Qi speaks softly, but still stand firm on their manor''s request, without the space to re-negotiate the conditions.

    Many years ago, the Owner of Manor and another 10 others Soul Practitioner travel across the continent, just to be lucky to stumble upon an injured Dao Tier Messenger Flying beast, the Heavenly Carnage Pigeon. Although the beast is injured, but the Owner sacrifice 8 of their Soul Practitioner to successfully obtained the treasure attached on the parcel within the beast''s Spatial Ring.

    "What do you say, young master ?"

    Lan Qi pesters Altima again for his decision. In the same time, she tried to move her body sexily to attract this young master to agree with her request.

    "Ms.Lan, I will take this bond, in the same time, give me 1,000 Units of the required Ingredient so I can start concocting as soon as possible."

    Altima replied her without a blink of eyes. But luckily Lan Qi is used to this young master sudden decisions.

    "Young Master, it had all been prepared long ago. The total cost for all the item is around 16,100,000 Balancing Zen Pills. With your patron this time with us, we hope you would come more often, so we are willing to sell this for just 15,000,000 Balancing Zen Pills."

    Lan Qi speaks while looking at Altima''s reaction.

    "Ms.Lan, I''m out of Balancing Zen Pill for now, can you trade with this instead ?"

    Altima replied, while casually withdrawing out a total of 15,000 Boosting Zen Pill out from his spatial ring.

    "Boosting Zen Pill ? And all of them are in their late medicinal grade. If an early grade could fetch price around 500 Balancing Zen Pills, one in late grade could fetch double of the price, so it''s worth around 1,000 Balancing Zen Pills."

    "Young master, this 15,000 Boosting Zen Pills is worth at a minimum 15,000,000 Balancing Zen Pills."

    Lan Qi shocked. This time she is totally shocked by the amount of treasured Pills Altima just brought out. But as she regains her calmness, she quickly handles the exchange professionally.

    "Young master, do you perhaps have any marriage in hand ?"

    Lan Qi shamelessly asked. Gan Ning shocked as he listened by their side.

    "I don''t, but I''m not looking for one at the moment. Thanks for Ms.Lan''s concern."

    As he completes his sentence, Altima walked away, preparing to leave the manor.

 Chapter 75 - Immortal Ascension Treasure Sect - Primordial Ark (4)

    After finishing his purchase, Altima leaves the Practitioner Exchange Manor without looking back. While behind him, Gan Ning, never stops pouting and felt the loss for seeing how Altima response to Lan Qi''s attention. Although he knows a person such as Altima might have no trouble regarding the lack of beautiful women surrounding him, but one would never complain about one additional beauty as his bed warmer.

    After all, A beauty needs a warrior to matched together. The wives would never complain if their husband brings back one concubine after another, as long the head of the household could keep his family together. But in Altima''s mind, a different perception is running through instead.

    "Seems like I will need to have a hard time adjusting to this world''s culture."

    "Should I actually just take in the women that come to my side without bothering the consequences ?"

    "I wonder how the feel of having sex as a male would feel like. Showered with countless beauties, all showing nonstop affections toward him."

    As Altima mind is flying around in his world of imaginary lust, out of sudden, it is destroyed when he think about how Ganesha looks.

    "Screw it. Sura is going to kill me if I dare to married his sister and still build my harem. I better get stronger first, before I go to the wrong path."

    "Gan Ning, where should we go next ? The time is not too late now, so we might have a good place for a meal before you bring me to the accommodation."

    Altima talked to Gan Ning as he returns to his body.

    "You¡­ really wanted to go to the Pavilion of Midnight Dew ?"

    "And here I was thinking about you are either not possible or a female in male dress."

    Gan Ning replied.

    "Brat. Why did you mention the Pavilion of Midnight Dew ? I said I want a place for a good meal before rest."

    Altima quickly replied back.

    "It is!! The best place for a meal is within this city is in the pavilion, while it is the best brothel as well. You are so loaded, don¡¯t tell me you never visit this kind of places before ?"

    Gan Ning answered.

    "Of course I didn¡¯t! I spend most of my time in cultivating and training soldiers! Where do I get time to visit a brothel!"

    Altima answered loudly, and within seconds, he becomes the main attraction of the people along the street.

    "Fine, let''s go. I''m not going there for any rotten purpose anyway."

    Altima finishes his word and walks quickly.

    "Young master! That¡¯s the wrong way!"

    Gan Ning shouted.

    "ARGH! &&¡ê*%¡ê^$"

    An hour of walking later, the duo finally reaches the Pavilion of Midnight Dew.

    As the duo enter the Pavilion, they are stopped by the guards outside of the entrance, stating that there will be an entrance fee needed to be paid, be it the person actually spends within or not. With the payment of 10 Balancing Zen Pills each person, Altima and Gan Ning head within, and led to seats beside the lotus pond.This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.

    Allowing Gan Ning to make his effort to order a few delicacies, Altima run through a few scrolls and recipes he recently purchased in the Manor. As he spent some of the time reading and understanding the scrolls, the local delicacies quickly presented on the table, ready to be eaten.

    "Young master, this is the few delicacies I heard everyone always praise nonstop."

    "This is the Demon Spice Cooked Boar Meat."

    "This is the Saint Water Pond breed Silver Fish, Steamed with Essence rich Yin and Yang Roots."

    "This is the Yang Essence Mandrake flesh, sliced and marinated and slow cooked with Dew of Fragrant Palm Tree."

    "This is ¡­.."

    "This¡­"

    "This¡­"

    With Gan Ning speaking nonstop to introduce all the different dish in front of them, Altima decided to stop him and have them both dig in together for a meal, but Gan Ning hesitates. A porter should not share a meal with the person who hired them. Due to their status are nowhere high, they have no qualification of sharing a meal with their masters.

    But for Altima, this practice is total nonsense in his eyes.

    Forcing Gan Ning to be seated and hold the chopsticks, the duo quickly digs into their dish, under the looks of everyone in the restaurant. Before an hour past, they had added another few more sets of dishes and emptied it thoroughly. For Gan Ning, he is born poor, so enjoying this kind of delicacies in his life is totally like unachievable dreams.

    Even though he have a cultivation of Peak Early Practitioner of Zen Tier, due to the lack of cultivating resources and martial arts, he had been in a stagnant stage for around one year, unable to improve his cultivation. Altima''s appearance in front of him is totally a dream, because of this young master in front of him, just bought 2 different Martial Arts and spend large numbers of Balancing Zen Pill on him.

    "Young Master, this servant have a slight request. Would you mind being moved into a special VIP room to enjoy more of our delicacies, and beauties you needs ?"

    The restaurant servant came over to pass a request towards Altima.

    "Is there any disturbance from our table manners ?"

    Altima replied.

    "Regrettably, one of the Hundred Protector Alliance young master is visiting our establishment, this table used to be his favorite seats, so we would be thankful if young master willing to spare us some trouble from brewing."

    The servant replied honestly.

    "if in that case, please lead the way."

    Altima stands, and prepare to follow the servant to his new "VIP" Room.

    "So, this brat is the one that made me wait outside here for a while ? Kid, do you have money to bring along to the grave ? How dare you take my seats!"

    The "young master" that had been waiting for the table to be clear suddenly release his tantrum towards Altima as he saw Altima leaving the seats.

    "Young master Gu, please be patient, Ruo Lan and Xiao Bing will come to you soon."

    The servant quickly calms this Young master Gu hot temper, while quickly order another servant to come over and serve them immediately.

    "Butler Alex, shut your mouth. This young master can do what he like within the Left Sun Area."

    "So, what is your background ? Dare to take my seats and make this young master wait for you to get a seat ?"

    The so-called young master Gu started to get even aggressive, thoroughly offending many other servants, but nobody dares to raise their voice or attitude as they know it¡¯s a bad move to made.

    "I am nobody, just traveling towards the Sun and Moon Great City for a visit. I am sorry for taking up Brother Gu''s seat without knowing, please do not get offended with this little one''s ignorance."

    Altima replied nicely, trying to not cause any trouble within the city on his first day.

    "What ? HAHAHA! I was thinking about which dragon from outside actually come in to challenge the might of the Hundred Protector Alliance. Get away kid, this place doesn¡¯t belong to you, go back and suck your mother''s breast and grow up a few more hair before you visit this kind of places."

    "OH! Little Gan Ning! So you were here all along. And here this young master is thinking where is the brother of the woman that rejected my goodwill goes. Did your sister''s grave got cleaned ? Should I send somebody to (Clean) properly ?"

    "Men! Bring a few people tomorrow to the graveyard and clean tomorrow, make sure you bring some leftover crumbs as a proof that you did your job."

    The so-called young master Gu is getting more and more offensive with his word, causing other diners within the restaurant hall to be uncomfortable. Hoping the issue will not proceed further, the servant quickly lead Altima away from the spot, but unfortunately, Altima''s calmness is erased from his expression.

    "Gan Ning, from today, onwards, you belong to me. Make sure you remember this."

    With a word, Altima causes the others to lost some blood from their face.

    This young man is going to take action!

    "Not good!"

    The servant, getting more and more worried as Altima losing his patience.

    "Merely an Early Master Practitioner, dare to speak as he owns the whole city."

    Altima comment.

    In the same time, A Flaming Sun of Yang Orb is pressed on the one surname Gu instantly, burning his abdominal part and incinerating all the clothes around that spot.

    "Young master!"

    Two peak master practitioner servant beside the one surname Gu moved towards him as the young master flew backward, crashing and destroying the paper thick walls before he stopped below a willow tree. In the same time, ten other practitioners around Middle Master Stage quickly take action, trying to hold Altima on the spot, preventing him from leaving.

    "Merely an Alliance, and yet dare to take such action to ridicule others and their family. If the Lan Shen Dalu consist of such trash within, until when only the Continent could move forward from our current position ?"

    Without any mercy, Altima launches a series of (Thousand Hands Buddha Palm) and quickly destroy the fighting intention of the ten practitioners, sending them backward at least three meters from their initial clashing point.

    "Young Man, your action is slightly too rash, don¡¯t you think so ?"

    One practitioner around 2 meters height, stands directly beside Altima, ready to take action as he pushes his cultivation strength to Early Spiritual Stage.

    "I could say the same thing to you, young man. Merely an early Spiritual Stage Cultivator, but dare to challenge the Alliance in our homeland."

    "That¡¯s why, perhaps Young master Gu''s attitude is not that good to look, but one need to see who is the father before he beat the child."

    Another cultivator of Middle Spiritual Stage stands, and look sharp on Altima and Gan Ning.

    "Young man, follow us back to the Alliance Law Hall, perhaps we can consider giving you a light beating and cripple your cultivation, instead of taking your puny life. You wouldn¡¯t want your family to wonder where your corpse went to, right ?"

    One more cultivator stands, emitting a Middle Spiritual Stage cultivation strength.

    "With only three Spiritual cultivators, and yet you dare to challenge me ? Come! Let me see how strong is the cultivator in the northern state."

    Without giving any face to the Hundred Alliance Practitioner, Altima pushes his cultivation to Early Spiritual Stage and prepare to give them a hell of a challenge.

 Chapter 76 - Immortal Ascension Treasure Sect - Yi Jing Classics

    Without further words, the 4 people started to exchange their blows, causing many normal city residents and weaker cultivators to quickly escape from being the accidental targets in between of the four spiritual practitioner''s fight. Soon the fight becomes even fiercer, where the venue changed from inside the reception hall, directly towards the outer Pavilion.

    Giving no way to retreat, the three cultivators from Alliance remain within the circle of reach towards Altima, restricting his each movement from getting away from the Pavilion of Midnight Dew. But without giving up, Altima ultimately give the three cultivators tougher challenge, forcing all of them to be pushed backward slightly, unable to resist Altima''s Yin and Yang Martial arts.

    "Who would imagine that this child could resist the attack from three of us and still manage to push us back."

    The first cultivator says.

    "This child is a threat to the north, I''d say we dispose of him before he manages to outgrew us. Let us get rid of the potential threat of north before he is given time to grow."

    The second cultivator speaks as well.

    "Child, if you are willing to give up now, perhaps we can still as for forgiveness on behalf on your capability, if not, don¡¯t blame us for being ruthless."

    The third cultivator continued.

    "You three, if you have time to babbling here, why not we continue seriously ?"

    "''I''ve grown tired of having fun with you guys, its time I should end this fight and return to my room for a rest."

    Altima replied, cutting off the three cultivator''s good intention.

    "Don¡¯t say I am too ruthless instead. Come towards me with your full strength!"

    Altima continued, without giving them any face.

    With a wave of his hand, Altima charged towards the first practitioner, and perform two different preparation steps that different from all his previous moves a while ago.

    As they both get close to an arms distance, the martial exchange started. The cultivator gives no mercy but utilizes all his strength to launch a heavy and deadly punch towards Altima.

    "Twelve Posture Exercise Technique of Yi Jing Classics!"

    Upon the starting of the posture, Altima immediately locks the cultivator''s movement within a special arrangement, where each fist, claw, palm, and internal attack flew without stopping until they hit their targets. Chain of attack swarmed their body, thoroughly injured their limbs and other parts of organs, while the internal attack destroys their base, damaging their spiritual body.

    With no sluggishness and stagnation between the interval of each attack, Altima quickly destroys the fighting will of the three practitioners without any further action required. By trying such feat, Altima places himself into a higher position within all the eyes that staring at the fight all the way.

    "As I told you, merely three spiritual stage cultivator, how dare you to try to mess with me, who lead the Wu Di Family troops to fulfill this Demonic Bridge Ritual''s Bridge capturing ?"

    Altima proudly announces his achievement to the cultivators, whom running like a dog with its tail between. No threatening words are being thrown back to Altima, as all of them know what is the consequences if they pissed Altima again.

    "Young Brother. Excuse me."

    One white dressed cultivator stands directly behind Altima, but take no action.

    "How may I help this brother here ?"

    Altima is slightly shocked with this cultivator''s speed, but he pays no attention, as this person''s essence undulations release no malice towards him.

    "I was thinking to get the honor to invite the well-known Earl Altima into my room for a drink."

    "My name is Yutian Tangfeng."

    Yutian Tangfeng speaks while showing a name place with a "Primordial" word written on top.

    Within the Gu Family Mansion, Inside Hundred Protector Alliance

    "How dare that kid injured my young child!"

    "Xiao Tong, rest well, for now, father will make sure this kid pay for what he did today!"

    The Head of Gu Family, Gu Ming is raging with anger, while looking at his beloved second child, Gu Tong. Added into his anger, is the defeat of 3 spiritual cultivators in the kid''s hand together, utterly destroying the Gu family name within the Hundred Protector Alliance.

    "Uncle Qian, Uncle Peng, I would need to bother you two to make a trip to the Pavilion of Midnight Dew now."

    Gu Ming bows slightly towards the two elder within the Gu Family, and have both of them to solve this matter.

    The two Gu Elder is few of the most significant force within the Gu Household. Although their cultivation is nowhere above the top, but a Peak Spiritual Stage strength is not something to be underestimated either.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While in the Hundred Protector Alliance, the Protector Meeting Hall.

    "I heard that the Gu''s is facing some issues with some random cultivator from the Southern, is that true ?"

    A Grand Elder of a random family speaks.

    "Yes, Grand Elder Tong. Seems like the background of this random kid is not simple. The messenger that pass the news stated he just spent at least 20 Million worth of Balancing Zen Pill in the Practitioner Exchange Manor earlier, and still looking for more treasures tomorrow."

    Another Grand Elder speaks.

    "Grand Elder Tong, Grand Elder Yuan."

    "I''m here to deliver the latest information regarding the Pavilion issue."

    The messenger speaks while giving a bow towards both Grand Elders.

    "Speak. Quickly."

    The Grand Elders is impatient.

    "The person who just causes a ruckus within the pavilion is an Earl from Southern named Altima El Mist."

    "He recently came back from the Ritual events, and being the biggest contributor in the Ritual, and awarded with 3 miscellaneous treasure, that is undisclosed."

    "The Earl is seen moving around the city under the guidance of Gan Ning, the little brother of the deceased leader of porters for our Hundred Protector Alliance, Gan Ling."

    The messenger quickly reports his findings, and excuse himself from the hall.

    "This is not good. If a cash cow as fat as this child got away to the Ancient Moon Sect to trade, or the City Lords Market street, our Hundred Protector Alliance business will crumble!"

    Grand Elder Tong hastily speaks, carrying worries within his facial expression.

    "Grand Elder Yuan, you are the person in charge of the Martial Arts Trading Hall, could you think of something to keep this person on our good side ?"

    "I think we might need to consult Grand Elder Mu for his actions too, as he is assisting the Guo Clan Market in their trades."

    Grand Elder Tong continued.

    "I will, but now we need somebody to make sure we get back to the Earl''s good side, else this will jeopardize our businesses."

    Grand Elder Yuan replied, and trying to come out with a name to convince Altima to continue doing business with them.

    "Grandfather Yuan, Grandfather Tong!"

    A beautiful lady, around 14 age, came into the hall.

    "Oh, Little Qing Tan. Why are you looking for this two old man ?"

    Grand Elder Tong replied the girl''s calling, a fatherly feature came out to look at her immediately as if she was the brightest pearl within the family.

    "Grandfather Tong, I heard that the pavilion have some big thing happen, even big cousin brother Gu Tong is in recuperating as well. Can I go to have a look at the pavilion ?"

    Qing Tan mentioned the same incident again, and can''t wait to go over and have a look.

    "If in this case, Xiao Qing Tan, do you want to meet the person on your grandfather''s behalf ?"

    Grand Elder Tong and Grand Elder Yuan looked at each other, and quickly reply to her demand.

    "Yes of course! I heard the other cousin brother says that he manage to injure everybody and come out unscathed."

    Qing Tan replied.

    "If in that case, bring along this two Elder Identification Plate with you when you go, and try to befriend with him and ask him to pay a visit to our Hundred Protector Alliance shops when he wishes to look for treasures."

    Grand Elder Yuan continue.

    Happily, the girl run out from the hall and quickly follow another group of guards to head over towards the pavilion direction.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Let us make a toast! I''m glad that brother Altima willing to accept my invitation to join us for a drink."

    Yutian Tangfeng lift up a cup, and drink first, as polite gestures to welcome Altima to the group.

    "One more toast, Brother Yutian! Altima here is glad to be invited to join fellow brothers here for a drink."

    Altima returns a toast as a warm gesture before everybody seated and start exchanging words among each other.

    Within the VIP room, consist of a total of 5 people included Altima.

    Yutian Tangfeng, Eastern Hao (Dong Fang), Wuyun Tuoba, Liones Lockheart.

    The four introduce themselves once again towards Altima, and after listening to their introduction, Altima falls into a world of surprises.

    Except for Wuyun Tuoba who is still within 9th Stage Emperor Practitioner of Zen Tier, Yutian Tangfeng, Eastern Hao and Liones Lockheart is all Early practitioner of Kun Tier. According to their age, all of them are currently between 18 to 20 years old.

    Yutian Tangfeng belongs to the Immortal Ascension Treasure Sect. under a special delegate mission, its seems that he is the one that travels around the Lan Shen Dalu to pass along the message regarding the primordial ark''s arrival.

    For Wuyun, Eastern Hao, and Liones, all three of them are under a special exchange of outer sect student and would be staying along in the primordial ark for the term of 1 year as an assistant, special fighting force, procurement staff.

    Knowing this group of brothers means that Altima will obtain more information and how to deal with Immortal Ascension Treasure Sect as they go, but within that night, nothing important comes afterward, due to the quick action is taken by the Pavilion master.

    Even the two Elders from the Gu Family and the Young lady Qing Tan is rejected from entry, stating there is a guest higher positioned that the City lord is having a meal within the Pavilion.

 Chapter 77 - Immortal Ascension Treasure Sect - Yi Jing Classics (2)

    "Brother Yutian, may this little brother ask a question ?"

    Altima cupped his hand together, and pass a question to the strongest among them, Yutian Tangfeng.

    "Feel free to do so, little brother, once we share a cup, we are brothers here, everyone in the room is."

    Yutian Tangfeng replied, allowing Altima to felt warm in his heart. Based on the way he speaks, he reminds Altima big brother, Yang Wu Di who is still within the Wu Di Royal Castle.

    "Brother Yutian, if there is a chance, I would really like to introduce you a few person in the Southern State."

    Altima speaks.

    "The person you''re saying, is Yang Wu Di, am I correct ?"

    Yutian Tangfeng quickly speaks before Altima could react.

    "Yes. Do you know him ?"

    Altima felt weird, because, without any special recommendation, nobody will approach another person automatically to be friends or even brothers unless there is somebody behind controlling this moment.

    "To be honest, I''ve known Yang about 10 years ago, during the first time I venture over to this Lan Shen Dalu. That time Yang is only 8, while I''m 7."

    "I remember during that time, Yang is pretty aggressive. Without any hesitation, he charges towards me when we both exchanging pointers with the other seniors and elders within the primordial ark martial room, and there we have our first clash."

    "Our second round happened during the Grand Auction of the Primordial Ark. That time, both of us is competing on one treasure called the Ten Thousand Circle Ring Blade. That time, both side is bidding ferociously, never giving up on the Ring blade because both Yang and I are cultivating a similar weapon art."

    Yutian Tangfeng tells the stories about how he and Yang Wu Di met. Within this explanation, one could get a hint that it is Yang Wu Di who introduce Altima to this group of brothers.

    "Should I continue ?"

    Suddenly Wuyun Tuoba stands and continues the story.

    "Please, brother Wuyun."

    Yutian Tangfeng seat and allows Wuyun Tuoba to continue.

    "That moment, both side started to cause a ruckus, I remember that time Yang Wu Di was mentioning about how his Mental Firmament Blade could be upgraded into Peak Emperor Martial arts, while Yutian is boosting about his Skycloud Flying Blade is originally an Early Emperor Martial arts."

    "Both sides argued and soon, they charge towards each other, and the fight started on the spot."

    "But what is funny about this, both of their old men carry the two fellas, kick them out from the hall, and continue. With this incident, the Wu Di and the Yutian family get closer."

    Wuyun Tuoba finished his story.

    "Hell man! Wuyun, don¡¯t skip the part you grab the blade in the end!"

    Yutian stands and quickly reprimand Wuyun Tuoba, and without any preparation, the two brothers started their childish exchange again.

    "As always."

    Liones, being the biggest size among 5 of them, quickly separate both of them and throw each of them to another side of the room.

    Looking at how easy Liones separate both of them, Altima felt a slight shock, guessing how deep is Liones cultivation.

    "No need to guess, brother Altima. Between all of us, Liones possess the strongest amount of raw strength. "

    "the Lockheart family originate from the Lock Empire, their ancestors are used to be one of the world well-known Immortal named Goldenlock."

    "And because of this identity, this big guy here learn his family inheritance martial art, called as the Cyclops Strength Locking Technique, which gave him strength double in the first stage, triple in second, and increase accordingly until the 9th stage."

    Yutian intercepts, and with such detail explanation, Altima roughly know each others attitude, cultivation and their personalities.

    "Brother Hao, come on, speak a little."

    Wuyun Tuoba points towards Eastern Hao and speak, but get no reply in return.

    "Ignore him, Hao usually put a cold demeanor, and rarely speaks, but his martial art is extremely dangerous. Let us don¡¯t piss him off too much."

    "Shall we call it a night ?"

    Yutian put up an idea, and with a farewell, the newly made brothers all separated and return to their own room.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

    Next day, Altima wakes and ready to depart towards the other location for his second day of treasure hunting, but before he manages to leave the Pavilion, Altima is greet by the Young Lady of the hundred Protector Alliance, Ms. Qing Tan.

    "Missy, what do you need from me ?"

    Altima starts the conversation.

    "I heard that you are the one who trashed my cousin brother Gu and his men."

    Qing Tan replied.

    "Yes, it''s me. Do you came here to revenge for him ?"

    Altima replied back without any cover up.

    "If I am here for revenge, I will come with a weapon. Let us don¡¯t waste any time! My Grandfather calls me to escort you to our establishment in exchange for our bad introduction yesterday."

    Qing Tan urge Altima to follow her to as she brings him along the way during the treasure hunting.

    "Ms. Qing, I''m afraid I have a porter to accompany me, it would be a bother to make young miss escort me around as your position within the Alliance is not low in my opinion."

    Altima rejected her offer, stating that Gan Ning could do the similar job, and wouldn¡¯t wish to take her time into his own shopping routine.

    "You''re quite a silly one, don¡¯t you think so ?"

    Qing Tan immediately comment about Altima''s decision.

    "And why would it be, young miss ?"

    Altima felt surprised with her replies.

    "With my position within the Alliance, if I am escorting you around our establishment, you would get the best deal and fairest price compared to the other establishment from Right Moon district."

    Qing Tan announce her special rights instantly as if she had it spoken out all the time.

    "I see, if in that case, I would bother little miss to lead the way."

    Altima hates to admit, but nobody would hesitate from dealing with business, and getting better discounts when they shop. With such a good discount voucher walking with him, it would be better than depending on Gan Ning and his reputation within the town.

    But before shopping starts, Altima went over towards a shop to exchange some Boosting Zen Pill for a lower currency under the Pavilion and proceed along with Qing Tan towards the Guo clan market. Within, plenty of cultivating special material is available, but none of the grades manage to grab Altima''s attention.

    As he walks around the Market, Altima spent slightly on purchasing some higher grade medicinal ingredient, such as the Mandrakes, Extracts, and fruits or herbs, but other than that, nothing else manage to obtain his attention, thus Altima leaves the Guo Clan Market with disappointment.

    His next visit is towards the Martial Art Trading Hall. Unexpectedly, Altima obtained a great haul this time within the Trading Hall. Within the hall, the martial arts and martial records are all divided and priced based on the floor they are placed within. Due to the fact Altima is only a Spiritual Stage Cultivator, he is only allowed to enter up to the 4th floor.

    This Trading Hall has a total of 9 Floors, in which the first two floors consist of Martial arts and martial records for the practitioner in Early to Warrior stage, while the third and fourth floor are for Master to Spiritual Stage cultivator. Upon entering, the cultivator will pass a formation gate, and received a book tag that would be used to store the scrolls that will be purchased, as well acting as the key to proceed towards the higher floor and opening the seal formation within the bookshelves.

    This time, Altima is totally satisfied. Spending almost one whole day within the Trading Hall, Altima manage to procure and purchase a total of 6 different martial arts, where it would be complementing with each other during the fighting and critical situation.

    But in Altima''s intention, he is looking forward to something more than this.

    "If I manage to refine and upgrade this few martial arts into one earlier chapter, it''s possible to create a new martial accordingly."

    "Brother Mobi, can you overpass the security formation and scan all the available information within ?"

    Altima checked with Mobi, but unfortunately, the intention is a failure due to the level differences between the scanner and the security formation is too wide.

    Proceeding to the waiting room, Altima awaits the scrolls he recently purchases to be readied. In the same time, he continuously running the refining program, quickly establish a link between the martial arts he purchased before this.

    With all the purchase is concluded within the Left Sun district, Altima decided to end his today harvest and return to the Pavilion. Unexpectedly to Qing Tan, Altima actually decided to send her away and asked to be left alone, stating that he have many scrolls to study for his cultivation, and he prefers to be left alone whenever possible.

    Through this reason alone, Qing Tan have no other choices but to allow him to leave.

    "This person attitude is so weird!"

    Qing Tan rants after she felt Altima should be away from the listening range.

    "Milady, this Altima person, is not simple at all."

    A guard beside Qing Tan starts to speak.

    "I believe that this Altima person is actually building up a foundation, perhaps it was to strengthen his cultivation. But from the record I received from the martial art trading hall and the Cultivator Exchange Manor, the choices of martial art he was chosen doesn¡¯t link to each other."

    "What I could guess is, he possess more than 20 different martial arts within his mind, and each has the possibility to support another."

    The guards explained slightly on his view towards Altima and stopped while Qing Tan pay no attention and leave the path back to Hundred Protector Alliance.

    "If this person is allowed to grow, perhaps soon the continent will be facing some major crisis. One mountain cannot have two kings reside within. Yang Wu Di, Ming Sect, the 5 Qin Brothers, and the Northern Guo Family. This few group will soon have a big change when this person starts to move."

    Unexpectedly, the guard managed to guess the soon to happen incident, which will start to cause a large change within the Lan Shen Dalu.

 Chapter 78 - Immortal Ascension Treasure Sect - Preparation!

    With himself shut within the Private Manor within the Pavilion, Altima started to enter his own Private Cultivation Farm, and inspect the available materials and its quantity before he could start off with something. After checking for a while on the inventory, Altima decided to continue where he left, which is the martial arts mastery and its further refinement.

    Starting with the few martial arts he recently obtained from the Cultivator Exchange Manor, Altima starts to refine the martial arts one by one, slowly achieving the Basic mastery, before he moves onwards to another martial art. Continuously, without stopping, Altima spend most of his time grinding his martial art capability.

    But to no avail, Altima fail to achieve higher than the basic mastery stage for most of the martial arts he recently obtained. Feeling weird with all the pointless cultivating and martial art sharpening time spent, Altima decided that he need a rest for now. He stopped practicing, and take some time to properly refine some extract of Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang Extract.

    Although the process of absorbing the Yin or Yang Essence, converting them into a pill shape form, and condensing and completing, is easy to be done for the Energy Yin or Yang Pills, but the process to refine a total of 10,000 Energy Pills into a single Extreme Extract is arduous and difficult work.

    Firstly, one requires to completely melt and combine the 10,000 Energy Pills into a base solution, before they could start to refine and condense the essence energy. The concentration of Zen Essence towards the solution is very sensitive, where a slight mistake will cause the whole 10,000 Energy Pills solution vanished in thin air.

    Secondly, after the concentrated solution is thoroughly refined into a watery liquid, carrying a light azure colour on the Yin type, and Light scarlet colour on the Yang type, it is the time to inject a sizable amount of Essence Energy into the liquid and allow the liquid to absorb the essence energy until it glows.

    Although the amount of yin or yang essence energy required to inject into the liquid is not same on each batch, but in the end of the result, all of this liquid will form into a liquefied Extreme Extract, where they will be required to be given a certain time to fully mature into an Extreme Extract.

    But for Altima, this is no longer a difficult task.

    Being skillful in concocting, and obtained the rank of Concocting Master, Altima current success rate to produce the Extreme Extract is close to 90%. Added with the wealthy Yin and Yang Essence within the Private Cultivation Farm, Altima wastes no time and quickly refine his first batch of 100 Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang Extracts.

    Although the Extreme Extract is not differentiated into different quality, but the price range for the Extreme extract is estimated to be reaching 600 Balancing Zen Pill each, and the rate will increase if the production exceeds 100 Units, 500 Units, 1,000 Units, 2,500 Units and 5,000 Units.

    As for the reason why the extreme extracts price will increase depending on the volume, is due to the compatibility. A master concocter always depends on one similar essence undulation ingredient, to increase the familiarity towards the material during concoction.

    Due to the Extreme Extract is usually come out in the biggest batch of 50 to 500 each time from one refining master, the concocting masters usually fight to decide who could get the extreme extract in hand. After all, the success rate of a Concocting Master who uses the 500 extracts from one same refining master, is always higher by a quarter or 25% rate, compare to some other concocting master who uses 500 extracts from 5 to 10 different refining masters.

    Continuously producing the Extreme Extracts, Altima''s production keeps coming out, and on the side, its being stored by the professional Goblin that being taught directly by Gunther to assist Altima whenever he needed. Through this way, Altima could keep himself to continue refining, while allowing the underlings to remain beside him to store and pack the Extracts altogether.

    Gunther is reliable. The first moment he knows that his master is going to concoct the Extreme Extract, it immediately returns to the smith to start producing a stacking container, with the capacity of 100 units of Extract slots in every stack. By continuously creating the Extreme Extracts, Altima quickly reaches the capacity of 5,000 Units of Extract in each type, before he stopped.

    Feeling he is still energetic to continue, Altima started on his concoction. As he still has the bond of 50 Yin Yang Tear Drops and 100 Brilliant Spirit Pill to have the full ownership of this two Recipe, Altima decided to quickly finish off this bond, as well as complete the concoction for this two new recipes.

    Without wasting any single second, Altima started his ingredient sorting, cleaning, and processing all the required extract and essence required from the Pure Yin Silk Worm and the Pure Yang 1,000 years King Mandrake. Upon completely extracting all the required essence from the ingredient, Altima started his concoction.

    Withdrawing the Black Metal Dragon Fire Cauldron, Altima starts first by heating the cauldron internally and externally using a pure Flame of Yang and allows the cauldron to absorb a large amount of Yang Essence. With the Cauldron turning from black color into a lava reddish hue, Altima started the concoction by placing 1,000 Balancing Zen Pills as the base of the Yin Yang Tear Drops.

    Next, an equal amount of Extract from Yin and Yang is evenly placed within the cauldron, allowing the balancing zen pills to slowly gathered around the two different extreme extracts. With the concoction flow of energy going within, the internal space of the cauldron manage to form a sphere shape of balancing zen pill, with the extreme extract being in the middle of two different flows.

    The Yang Flow towards the clockwise, while the Yin Flows toward the anti-clockwise. This two flow continuously clash with each other, as the balancing zen pill started to be destroyed slowly, and being absorbed into the Yin Extract and Yang Extract.

    Soon, the Balancing Zen Pills within started to reduce to nothing left, almost all had been absorbed into the Extract, so Altima proceeds with the final step, which is to allow the Pure Yin Silk Worm''s Essence and the Pure Yang King Mandrake''s Extract to enter the cauldron.

    Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

    Unexpectedly, The Yin Extract Charge towards the King Mandrake''s Extract, and aggressively trying to consume the extract, while the Silk Worm Essence is ignored by the Yang Extract. Soon, the concoction goes into its first failure, and all the ingredient within is wasted.

    "Where are the mistakes within this concoction ?"

    Altima double check on his concoction step by steps, and slowly find the fault between his concoction. Due to the written guidance within the recipes is too vague, Altima has no other choices but to refine the Drops, again and again, to find the mistakes within.

    Very quickly, Altima wastage increased from 10 to 100, and soon increased into 350, then only he found out the mistakes in between his concocting steps.

    "Now I finally notice the difference between life concoction method and basic concocting method."

    Receiving the enlightenment on the Yin Yang Tear Drops concoction method, Altima restarts his method once again.

    Firstly, Altima injects a large amount of Yin Essence and Yang Essence into the Pure Yin Silk Worm and the Pure Yang King Mandrake, thoroughly filling this two living ingredients with the power of life. The Silkworm manages to form a cocoon upon its maturity, and wrapped itself in the Yin rich silk, while the King Mandrake started to peel off its skin, releasing a red flesh hidden behind its walking root.

    Next, he proceeds to totally grind the Balancing Zen Pills into powder form, before he pours in the Extreme Extract into the powder and allows the extract to assimilate and combined together, forming two spheres of liquid rich with Yin essence and Yang Essence.

    Lastly, Altima places the Silk Worm in the cocoon to the Yang Extract, to stress the growth of the silk worm, while the King Mandrake to the Yin Extract, to excite the king mandrake. Adjusting the flame and frost below the Cauldron, Altima created two different worlds within the Cauldron, one Freezing, and another Blazing, and allows the Silk Worm and King Mandrake to cultivate the Extract.

    Very Soon, the cocoon slowly losing it luster Yin essence shine, and turn flattened. The similar reaction happened on the king mandrake, where the whole root seems to be dried and collapse, leaving only the reddish mandrake skin. Altima finally retrieves the two different Living ingredient, and by removing the cocoon silk, One piece of the Yin Tear encased within, while another half of the Yang Tear is retrieved from within the Mandrake Skin.

    By placing the two piece of Teardrops together, the pulling energy came within the drops started to attract each other, and cause the two piece to combined into one, and giving a different kind of energy within when it is separated.

    Without wasting time wondering the effect this Essence Drop might bring, Altima places it into his mouth and swallow the essence drops without worries.

    Instantly, a hot and cold feeling came unleashed out from his middle Dantian, causing his body to be swirled and covered with two different fierce energy. Altima quickly returns to his cultivating stance, and slowly restrict the flow of the Hot and Cold energy, and making the flow into a spiral shape, before controlling his spiritual body to absorb the released Yin Yang Essence. After spending about 30 minutes in absorbing the medicinal value brought by the Yin Yang Tear Drops, Altima notices an increased of 2% of strength in his spiritual body, and the increment doesn¡¯t require any practice to get used to the adjustment.

    "This is good Stuff!"

    Without noticing his changes of language, Altima actually blurts out some of his before reincarnation''s slang out from his mouth.

    By grasping this correct concocting method, Altima wastes no time but to diligently concoct all available material into the Yin Yang Tear Drops. Other than leaving a total of 50 Pure Yin Silk Worm and 50 Pure Yang 1,000 Years King Mandrake to be taken care and breeding of the hands of the elves, Altima successfully concoct a total of 200 Units of the Yin Yang Tear Drops.

    With the task in hand for Yin Yang Tear Drops is completed, Altima passes a message to Gunther and had him prepare a total of 150 Casings, plated with Briolite External and Soulless Crystal Internally. Within half a day, the casing is complete, and each of the Yin Yang Tear Drops is well kept within the Case to be protected nicely, without allowing any of the medicinal effect to flow out wastefully.

    Next, Altima starts with the concoction of the Brilliant Spirit Pill. Instead of trying it in a conventional way, Altima went straight ahead with the Living ingredient concoction method. Firstly, Altima has the Elder Mandrake and the Young Yin Tree Snake to consume the Spiritual Corpse Ash and the Demonite Stone accordingly.

    But this time, instead of having big changes within the living ingredient, the Elder Mandrake and Young Tin Tree Snake started to overfilled with ridiculous essence energy, and their body started to evaporate, leaving only a transparent but brilliant Soul within the concocting table.

    With the primary preparation is complete, Altima place the Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang Extract into the cauldron, along with the Soul of the 500 years Elder Mandrake and Young Yin Tree Snake Soul. Placing a total of 4 fire in the opened inlet, Altima charges his 4 Yang Flame into its maximum strength, forcing all the ingredient to combined into a single pill, and refined again and again, until there are no more flakes to be produced from the heating of the Pill.

    Next, Altima shifts the Yang Flame into the Yin Frost. Instantly, the Pill is chilled into a -200 Degree, and the useless impurities started to drill out from the inner of the pill, leaving the to looked like a bee nest. With no medicinal properties is released from this Bee nest looking pill, Altima considers the concoction to be a failure.

    As he moves his hand over to grab the pill, Altima put a pressure to destroy the failed medicinal Pill, but as crush the pill, a harder and sturdier form of bead is found within, revealing itself to be a transparent glass-like bead, releasing out a large amount of spiritual energy which Is nutritious towards the Spiritual Body.

    As Altima swallow the pill, the successful Brilliant Spirit Pill melted within his stomach, and a wave of energy flows automatically to his spiritual body, nourishing and energizing the spiritual body. Although Altima has no injuries on his spiritual body at the moment, the brilliant Spirit Pill still manage to heal and recover a little of the Spiritual Body''s condition.

    With this effect, Altima finally understood one fact.

    "Although I have no injuries, but this doesn¡¯t mean I am in my top condition. This fact applies toward my spiritual body as well. The body will feel tired, fatigued, stressed, and disturbed if the physical body is not well maintained. I should focus more on the Body Recovering Art, perhaps I would found a few during the Grand Auction of Primordial Ark."

    Continuing the concoction, Altima quickly finishes the 999 Units left within his inventory, and similar to the Yin Yang Tear Drops, Altima provides a total of 50 elder mandrakes and 50 Young Yin Tree Snake to the Ancient Elves, to be breed and reproduce.

    Within the 999 units left, Altima successfully concoct a total of 550 units, and the balance of 449 is either failure or the purity within the ingredient is not up to standard, leading to the failure of producing the soul required before the main part of the concoction.

    Within the concoction task is completed as well, Altima checked on the time remaining for him to spend before the Primordial Ark reach Lan Shen Dalu. Going without notice, Altima already spent around 2 weeks in the room to concoct and martial practice.

    Finally, Altima emerges from the manor he is staying within, and to his surprise, Gan Ning actually seated outside of his manor, awaiting him to come out.

    "What are you doing outside here, Brat ?"

    Altima quickly teases Gan Ning.

    "During this two weeks, I had myself diligently trained the Martial art and Cultivate my Strength. I just manage to enter the Warrior Stage yesterday. So I thought I should drop by to say thank you. Are you leaving ?"

    Gan Ning replied, and give Altima a respectful bow as a good gesture.

    "Yes, I am leaving, but not the city. I''m want to pay a visit to the Market Street owned by the City Lord, can you bring the way ?"

    Altima replied.

    Without waiting for any answers, Altima starts walking, while Gan Ning followed beside him. Although this duo only has known each other for a day, but the trust between them is deeper than anyone else. Spending a total of 20 minutes walking, Altima and Gan Ning finally reach the Market Street, where the Sun and Moon Great City most flourishing and busiest District is located.

 Chapter 79 - Immortal Ascension Treasure Sect - Preparation (2)

    Entering the Market street, Altima is greeted with the extravagant stone arch, with the letter "Sun Moon Pearl Path" (Yang Yue Zhen Zhu Jie). Walking past the Arch, Altima first saw a row of smaller stalls arranged in the middle of the Street, carrying many different materials and ingredients.

    This is the first part of the Sun Moon Pearl Path, the Sun Moon Flea Section. This part is opened for all traders who have good treasure and materials to be sold, but not in a large quantity. Ruled with the basic regulations such as rental based on item sold, or rental based on day or night.

    Within this section, Altima give the same attention towards the treasure placed on the stalls like when he visit the bigger establishments. Along the way, Altima manage to procure a number of crystals and material for concocting spiritual grade medicine.

    As they explore the flea market section, Altima found a special stall located at the end of the Flea Section.

    Mo Yue Weapon purchaser Stall.

    "This stall is slightly bigger than the other stalls, and on the same time, this Stall keeper is unleashing a strong energy undulation. In my rough guess, she should be at least a Soul Tier Practitioner."

    "This big sister, can I know what weapon are you purchasing ?"

    Altima speak politely towards the stall keeper.

    "Ah, young brother¡­.."

    "Oh.. Sorry, I was spacing for a while because I am thinking about the next weapon I would need to made."

    "oh¡­ Sorry, you were asking ?"

    The stall keeper keep have her mind wondering, giving Altima a difficult time to talk with her.

    "Big sister!"

    Altima finally decided to attract her interest through showing her some weapons.

    Swinging his palm a little, Altima withdraw a few Soulless Warrior Stage weapons, and place in front of the Stall keeper, trying to grab her attention.

    "Young brother, is this weapons made by a goblin ?"

    Her attention changed instantly when she saw the weapon Altima placed on top of the stall table. But her immediate reply gave Altima a shock, as she manage to guess correctly in her first try, on the origin and the maker of all this weapons.

    "Yes. Seems like big sister''s experience in Weapon crafting is not low. Not many people could guess correctly on the maker of the weapon unless they have plenty of experience and knowledge regarding different tribe and how their weapon is crafted."

    Altima gave the Stall keeper a praise.

    "Young brother, your word make me felt honored. Well, yes I am quite experience with the different tribe weapon crafting and how to recognise their creator''s origin. Are you interested in selling this weapon to me ?"

    The stall keeper immediately return to the reason why she open a stall here at the first place.

    "What price would big sister willing to offer ?"

    Altima tried to check for the value of weapons made by Gunther.

    "Younger brother, All the weapon you would like to sell is available to change for this few weapon I got here. Take a look."

    The stall keeper withdraw a few different weapon from her spatial ring, and place the few weapon on the side, allowing Altima to check the durability and quality of its build.

    Refined Arsalite Trident - Early Master Practitioner Tier Weapon (Long Weapon Type - Crowd Control and Magical Type)

    Soulless Grade - Refining is not possible.

    Purified Arsalite Heavy Mace - Early Master Practitioner Tier Weapon (Short Range Type - Crowd Control and Heavy Damage Type) Soulless Grade - Refining is not possible.

    King Storm Wasp Flying Daggers - Early Master Practitioner Tier Weapon (Throwing Weapon Type - Mental Type)

    Soul Infested Grade - Can be strengthen and Refined.

    "Younger brother, for the 9 weapon you bring out, it is worth enough to exchange for this two Soulless weapon, or the King Storm Wasp Flying Daggers."

    "What do you think about this exchange ? I will say, this exchange is profitable to you. This sister is looking for more basic quality weapons to be refined and recraft to create a better weapon, so I am willing to exchange a better weapon for this basic quality tools."

    "If you are looking forward to get more better weapon choices, you need to bring out more than this to show me."

    The stall keeper said with a smiles on her face.

    "Big sister, if I could withdraw a total of 50,000 Soulless Warrior Stage weapons, what do you think you can provide me ?"

    Altima bring out 5 different Spatial rings, and place it all on top of the table.

    "50,000! If its this amount¡­ This amount is slightly too much. But."

    "But."

    "But this doesn¡¯t worth me to bring out my life-treasure to exchange for it."

    The stall keeper hesitates. The attraction bring by the 50,000 warrior grade weapon is an attractive deal for her, as this transaction could safe her a total of at least 1 month spent on waiting for the weapons to come from the smith, cultivators, or scavengers.

    But due to the best weapon she could offer is slightly over priced, she hesitates to bring out to place a counter offer. Being stuck in the middle of taking or rejecting, the stall keeper soon fall into her soulless wandering mode once again.

    "Should I exchange it ? If I could get this number of material, I could increase my experience and reach grade 3 soon. If I could reach grade 3, I will have plenty more chance to craft Briolite weapons, and refine or imbue them as well."

    "But this sword of mine worth at least a Peak Spiritual Practitioner Tier Weapon. 50,000 Arsalite weapon doesn¡¯t worth the trade at all."

    The stall keeper still hesitates to decide on her taking the exchange or not.

    "Big sister, can I give you a suggestion ?"

    "I can see that the treasure big sister have in hand is too overpriced. Based on only 50,000 weapon to exchange, it is not even worth half of its value."

    "If in that case, why not I provide big sister all this weapon as our meeting gift, in return of a small favor from big sister ?"

    Altima gave the stall keeper two options. One is to custom made another weapon worth the exchange, or have the stall keeper to complete an specific task for him.

    "Young brother, please state your request and what would you expect."

    The stall keeper replied. Given with this different treatment, of course she would take some time to listen before she make a decision.

    "Firstly, if big sister have nowhere to return, why not big sister come along with me, and be my private Blacksmith, crafting weapon and equipment for our faction. I believe that big sister cultivation is not too low, but the crafting art you practiced, should be requiring a large amount of resources to improve."

    "Second, is big sister could use this 50,000 weapon first to increase your cultivation and crafting skills, before you craft a new weapon worth the exchange."

    Altima give the stall keeper two options, and hope she would actually pick the first option between the two.

    Due to the hesitation and how the stall keeper came out to procure her own training ingredient, Altima believe that this stall keeper is not affiliate with any of the power within the Sun and Moon Great City. And based on how she hesitates in bringing out the weapon she had, this allows Altima to roughly guess, that the weapon is most probably her mentor or most important person''s memoir or treasures.

    And based on her attitude, Altima believed that this stall keeper is actually in a rush to obtain a large number of training ingredient, where it could only means that she is expecting to have a rank increase soon enough.

    But if the stall keeper is choosing the second option, Altima will be disappointed, because if the stall keeper is willing to only temporary "Borrow" Altima''s weapon for her own cultivation, it would only mean that this stall keeper doesn¡¯t not know how to value, and only blindly following her martial scroll to train.

    "What do you think, big sister ?"

    Altima allows the Stall keeper to decide, and patiently wait for her reply.

    After pondering for a while, the stall keeper finally made her decision.

    "Young brother, I have nothing left behind to keep me stay within this city. I will follow you and serve you as your personal blacksmith, but I will have my demand, hopefully you are willing to listen."

    The stall keeper had spoken.

    "Big sister, please let me know."

    Altima replied.

    "Well, let me re-introduce myself again."

    "My name is Mo Yue, I am the sole disciple for the blacksmith master of Northern State, Master Ran Mo Ji."

    "I practiced in Metal Destructive Mastery, 1,000 Hammering Refinement Hit, King of Yang Flames Blacksmithing Art."

    "My master had passed away, so I am left alone. Due to the cultivation could not be stopped as one person need to continue living, I opened a shop here so I could exchange used weapon to cultivate."

    "If I follow along your side, I will have a high demand of resources, at least 10,000 units of metal to continue my cultivation. If you cannot comply to my demand, I will not follow you."

    "Secondly, Although my cultivation is currently at 7th stage of Master Practitioner of Zen, but I lack of some battle martial arts, so I couldn¡¯t contribute if a fight happens. This is also one of the reason for my master''s death."

    "So, do you agree with this request ?"

    Mo Yue state her request, if Altima could agree with it, she will serve Altima as his personal blacksmith.

    "Sister Mo Yue, then you may pack up your things, and we should walk together. I will let you see something amazing when we return to the Pavilion."

    Altima vaguely reply her, but through his words, one would understand that Altima had accepted her request of employment.

    And soon, the trio head deeper within the Path, and shop for a few specialty treasures, but not rare enough to be stated as they explore. And very quickly, Altima and Mo Yue heads back to the pavilion, while Gan Ning excuse himself to return to his shacks to pack up before he join up with Altima, and heads back to the Southern part.

    Within the pavilion.

    "Sister Mo Yue, are you ready to be surprised ?"

    Altima give Mo Yue some space to feel suspense.

 Chapter 80 - Ascension Immortal Treasure Sect - Preparation (3)

    With a swing of his hand, Altima opened a wide Spatial Realm entrance, wide enough to allows two people to enter without difficulties.

    Leading the way, Altima and Mo Yue walk across the Spatial Realm entrance and being transferred into different surroundings. Within the Private cultivation Farm, Altima and Mo Yue first arrived at the Center Treasury Entrance, which located in the highest mountain in the middle of the Land.

    Overlooking the West side, Mo Yue notice there is activities from the goblins, where thousands of goblin miners are busy climbing the Metal Vein mountain, picking along their way to obtain the rough unprocessed metals. While some of the Goblin Berserkers is busy moving the movable Carts into the mountain entrance.

    From the middle of the mountain, a thick tower of smokes gushes out from the tip, indicating there is a large operation is going on the mountain. Only by seeing how good is the condition, Mo Yue finally agree that Altima could provide her more than enough materials for her cultivating and improvements.

    If one would take a look towards the North, they will notice a sign of 2 dragons flying around the sky, looking ethereal but majestic if seen, providing Yin and Yang Essence without limit to this land. Unknowingly to Mo Yue, the richest land with the Yin Yang Essence is located within the flat mountain as well, accompanied with three Yin Yang Cultivation Circle.

    Looking to the east, a wide and abundant Flora and fauna, filled with life and a tall Skylight Tower Tree, below the tree, many manmade caverns are spread along the thick branches, and climbed by many young elves as they move around. There is plenty of field for plantations, and even a few elves are seen breeding certain specific ingredient within the grazing field.

    Lastly on the south, Mo Yue notice the difference of the Flora and Fauna is even crazier within this land. This land is literally an unclaimed forest, resides by at least thousands of different type of plants. The medicinal ingredient which is not capable of being reared manually by hand could grow within this land without any restrictions. Some insects which are nutritious to the plants is seen flying from a tree to another, from a bloom of flowers to another, as if they are working along to increase the population of the plants within the forest.

    "Sister Mo Yue, what do you think about this ?"

    Altima breaks the silence and asked for Mo Yue''s opinion within this Private Spatial Realm belonged to him.

    "This is.. Heaven."

    "It''s everything one would ever dream off."

    Mo Yue is speechless. She tried to talk more, but none of the words came out from her mouth, as she still unconsciously dropped her jaw.

    "Let us go to Gunther, he is my current Goblin Blacksmith, and the person you might want to meet the most now."

    Altima said, and lead the way towards the Workshop.

    Within the workshop, Mo Yue is surprised with Gunther''s appearance. Gunther''s facial look more similar to a mix of human and goblin child, while his body height is slightly different compared to the other lower ranked goblins. Bearing a slightly better facial features, Gunther is seen working out on a specific weapon within the heavily blasting furnace.

    "Gunther, is that the result from mixing both Yin Yang Deadly Spear and Surging Wave Spear ?"

    Altima turned to Gunther, whom busy adjusting the temperature and the piece of metal, and asked.

    "Yes my lord. This is the first part of its appearance, more to be coming within the spear as well. Soon my lord will have the one and only Spatial Magic Spear within the whole continent."

    Gunther replied. But for Altima, as he listened to how Gunther describe the weapon, question marks appear within his head, wondering what is the weapon Gunther just talked about ?Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!

    But before Altima could throw another question to Gunther, Mo Yue, who had been surprised with Gunther''s skill, quickly came in front of Gunther and started to talk with him.

    "Blacksmith Gunther, how do you expect to implant the Spatial Core within the spear ? Without sufficient attention and material refinement, the spear would only turn out to be an easily snapped trash!"

    Mo Yue quickly throw Gunther a question and awaits Gunther to reply.

    "This Missy! The Spatial Core is not restricted to be only in a Ring Form! With sufficient ability to refine the Spatial Core piece into Spatial Beads, although the Spatial sizes are limited, but the effective element of surprise will allow my lord to utilize it during battle efficiently!"

    Gunther replied.

    "What Missy! I am Mo Yue, lord Altima''s personal Blacksmith. Then tell me, how do you intend to cover the Spatial Beads from the impact during the weapon clashes with each other ? Don¡¯t tell me you expect lord Altima to fight without using his spear to deflect any attacks!"

    Mo Yue replied harshly, awaiting Gunther''s next strike.

    "I came out with a new design! With my ability to properly craft the Body of the spear utilizing the Pure Briolite, I could apply a triple structure Cylinder In the middle of 3rd feet and 4th feet of the spear body, with open compartments, that possible to place 6 Spatial Beads with the capacity of a Small Room within."

    Gunther Shots back!

    "Oh! So if the compartment is chipped or cracked due to outside impact, won''t this cause the Spatial beads to be affected by the vibrations ? Don¡¯t forget that vibrations will make the Spatial Beads rendered useless, so you need to have a gap between each bead!"

    Mo Yue repel the shot!

    "I Initially wish to place it according to a spiral shaping, where with a different touch, My lord will know which bead he wished to use next, but without confident, this cannot be achieved! I know that by applying some layer of Neolite we could make the bead sturdier and body of the spear is stronger."

    Gunther brings out the matter regarding a specific craft he is not too skillful in.

    "You can''t do it, but this doesn¡¯t mean I can''t! I have a higher possibility to succeed with this three-cylinder refinement, layering and making it into Three Spiral Cylinder shape. Just give me Pure Molten Neolite and some Energy Yang Pill, I can push my King of Yang Flame Blacksmithing Art into the highest possible strength, and maintain the softness of the Neolite as I twist it into the correct angle."

    Mo Yue confidently show off her skills.

    "If this is the case, why not you both work out together in creating this spear ?"

    Altima felt tired with their fights and decided to allow both of them to participate in the creation and refining of the spear.

    "My Lord, Gunther will make sure this is the best weapon you will ever use before you past Soul Stage."

    "Younger Brother, Let me work this out, I''m sure nobody in the continent could match with your weapon, even if they belong to soul stage."

    Both replied, and soon, Altima get ignored by the two maniac blacksmith, that debates nonstop to craft the spear.

    Taking his time slowly to heads toward the Yin Yang Cultivation Circle, Altima seats on the middle circle ring and started to slowly cultivate his cultivation and martial arts.

    Unknowingly to him, the strands of Essence today is thicker than usual, whereas they pour themselves into the Altima''s body, a Spiritual Heart and Mind is quickly form within his spiritual body.

    The absorption goes stronger, and a vacuum spiral quickly appeared within the Yin-Yang Circle, forcefully sucking all the available essence surrounding Altima as the Spiritual Mind and Spiritual Heart getting bigger and stronger. Moments later, the Spiral started to get larger and more ruthless.

    The surrounding Essence within the whole north mountain started to be affected, the weather began to turn bad, and rain started to falls within the whole land. The tower of smokes from the West Mountain is affected first, and the forest of the south is next. Meanwhile for the East, due to the protection from the Skylight Tower Tree, the weather disruption failed to affect that section, but many of the vegetation started to wither slowly, as the land''s essence energy is quickly absorbed into a specific being''s body.

    2 hours later, Altima condition is finally stable, where he slowly stands and summon his Spiritual Body out to the open. Surprised with the speed of his cultivation, Altima actually, leap a stage and immediately reach the peak of the Spiritual Formation Stage.

    Spiritual Mind - Increase the stability of Mental and Essence, Allowing one to have the possibility to overlook into the future for any threat, or advantages, before one take their action. A stable Spiritual Mind leads to the capability of seeing the Essence river, and the way it flows alongside with ourselves everywhere.

    Spiritual Heart - With a strong Spiritual Heart, comes a strong Physique. Spiritual Heart strengthens one Spiritual Body, Allowing the other organs to be able to utilize their best potential.

    With the success of breaking through towards the peak of Spiritual Formation Stage, Altima finally relaxes and take an 8-hour rest outside of the spatial realm. This is to allow the Northern Mountain''s First Rate Yin Essence Emperor Dragon Root and the Yang Essence Monarch Dragon Marrow to regenerate and rest, due to the heavy absorption earlier ago.

    Altima is worried as well because with such aggressive absorption strength applied within the spatial realm, will the Spatial realm''s ecosystem get disturbed ?

    In the next morning, Altima wakes up to notice the wonderful feeling within his body, after he manages to breakthrough and having 3 parts of Spiritual Body. With his strength and capability in battle increased at least 30%, Altima felt like he could challenge peak Spiritual Practitioner in a fight anytime, and making sure he won''t be In any disadvantages.

    With Gan Ning coming over to the pavilion as well, Altima packs up and getting ready to leave the Sun and Moon Great City, after spending close to 3 weeks within the city.

    Along with their way return, no obstacle appears to give them trouble, so their path back to southern state is smooth and safe. As they reach the Wu Di Royal City, Altima proceeds straight to greet Yang Wu Di and the other brothers, while Gan Ning is escorted by the other captains back to the Earl''s Manor to rest and cultivate.

    A few days later, the announcement came, and within the skies above the Lan Shen Dalu, appears a ship as huge as a State in Lan Shen Dalu. Although from the skies, the ship seems to be moving slowly, but everyone knows the fact that this is not true.

    A few smaller ships started to come down from the Ark, establishing a perimeter of the defensive formation, and the routes of trade, and soon, almost ten of thousands of messengers is sent from the Primordial Ark to all major city around the Lan Shen Dalu and started to announce a single sentence.

    "Primordial Ark Exchange, Starts now!"

 Chapter 81 - Grand Auction of the Primordial Ark!

    With the announcement came down from the thousand of Kun Tier Cultivators, many citizens and cultivators belong to the Lan Shen Dalu, started to swarm towards the pickup point, where they will be lead to the entrance of the Primordial Ark.

    One need to know, the primordial ark is divided into a few different stages, floors and as well halls or Squares.

    Within each Floor, there is a total of 3 Squares. The Viewing Squares is where the Treasures will be displayed on each Shelves, and with sufficient payment, the treasure locking formation will be released, and the treasure will land on the purchaser''s hand, indicating the exchange is complete.

    The next one is a Procurement Square. Within the board of requests, plenty of written request is paste on the board, and a spatial ring is placed on the piece of parchment as the collection point. Each trader will then stamp a magical talisman they use to pack the item they place within, and receive the payment within the next few hours.

    Lastly, is the Employment Square. This square is filled with living people, the interviewers, the requester, and the collectors. Plenty of employment is available, and there is always a demand, especially towards the recruiters for mercenaries, hunters, treasure seekers, and physician or doctors.

    Sometimes, some special request, such as looking for a pack of the beast to be employed, or to be collected for different Continent''s breeding point, is always available, ensuring this field of demand flourishing as always, without any sign of declining.

    While for the halls, there is 4 different part divided along each floor of the Primordial Ark.

    First of all, is the weapon hall. As the name stated, the weapon halls carried all the treasures available according to the grade, tier, and ranking. Within the weapon hall, Complete weapon would always be placed on one stretch of the wall and followed by Incomplete weapon ( the weapon that yet to complete, on its way, lack of refinements), Blueprint purchases, and lastly, the Blacksmithing request.

    The second hall is the martial hall. Within this martial hall, only scrolls according to the cultivator''s strength are allowed for one to view and select. Next, upon selection, they will be given the choices of Purchase / Practice / Ownership / Exchange. The purchase allows one to learn the martial arts by themselves, while practice is to learn under a mentor, usually directly on a whole sect of martial arts, or certain special sets of martial arts. Ownership is to take over the Martial arts and possess it directly, removing it from the list within the Primordial Ark''s collection and lastly, Exchange, which is to exchange a similar rarity martial arts for another better or similar rank.

    While on the third hall is where the Ingredient Hall is located. Various type of Concocting, Metallurgy materials is available to be purchased and obtained over here. The Hall is divided into 3 section, which is the purchases, selling, and requesting.

    Lastly, is the Beast Hall. Without further explanation required, the beast hall deals with everything related with the beast. Certain rides and flying type Demonic beast would be available to be purchase over here, and even a certain stead or a pack of military use demonic beast troops are obtainable, as long one could provide sufficient resources to purchase.

    In every floor within the Primordial Ark, a restriction of cultivation strength is applied. The stronger you are, the higher floor, the better access you would have towards the available treasures kept within the Ark. On the most bottom floor, which is opened for the non-cultivating populations, slowly going up to those accessible if you possess the strength of Early Zen Cultivation.

    For the floor higher above, one required to possess at least Late Zen Cultivation, followed by Early Kun Cultivation, Late Kun Cultivation, and higher.

    Of course.

    There will be a special privilege for wealthier cultivators, especially those who was born within the bigger family and those who possess an unaccountable amount of resources. Entrance key could be bought, if one would like to enter higher floor to view the treasures within, but this come to a restriction that one could only purchase a maximum amount of 5 treasures within a floor.

    There would be still many special cases that allow exemptions, such as the continent top 10 geniuses, the Ruler of the Continent / states, and once, there is a Heavenly Beast that obtains Cultivation enlightenment, thus allowing it to become a human cultivator as he shed his beast form. From that moment, the Ascension Immortal Treasure Sect added a new condition which allows Demonic Beast that achieves enlightenment to participates as well.This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

    Although this means the Enlighten Beast will be trading In different currencies, but for the Sect, there is no undoable business, only unobtainable treasures.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    With the announcement, even Altima, and the others top brass from the Wu Di Royal Family is gathering together, and proceed to enter the Primordial Ark. As they entered, everyone is divided into a few groups and started to mind their own business within the ark.

    Yang Wu Di went up to the 3rd floor, depending on his status as the King Practitioner, while Altima staying on the bottom most floor, and getting ready to explore a few different squares and halls before he proceeds to enter a floor higher.

    Exchanging for ingredients and selling his final products, Altima''s profit quickly rise and fall, even crazier than a stock market in his previous world. Each time he passes a few request parchment regarding specialized Medicinal Pill and other random pills, Altima will be making some exchange, and receive the payment almost on the spot.

    But when he reach the procurement square and the ingredient hall, his wealth plummet as he is greeted with an enormous amount of ingredients to be purchased. Although a Concocting Master could earn a big portion of wealth as he succeeds in concocting many medicinal pills, but in exchange, the recipes for even better medicine and special elixir has always come with ridiculously overprice tags.

    In an example, Altima passes through a part of the Viewing Square, where he notice a piece of Beast Skin Scroll with the words "Spiritual Forming Pill" written on it.

    Looking at the piece of Beast Skin, Altima couldn¡¯t control his urge to purchase the scroll and end up spending a total of 5,000,000 Balancing Zen Pills to purchase the scroll.

    This happened to him for another few times, where after Altima manage to sell off all his Medicinal Pills he personally concocted, and end up with holding another 923,500 units of the Boosting Zen Pills. But through some random purchases and shopping, Altima end up spending a total of 500,000 Boosting Zen Pills for a total of 5 Spiritual Stage Recipe, 50 type of different Spiritual level ingredients, five special Demonic beast infant, one Flying Transportation Beast, and two Heavy Carriage Beast.

    Through some heavy unaccountable spending, Altima ends up with only another 1,850,000 Boosting Zen Pills in hand. Although this amount is not too little in the eyes of others, but to qualified to participate in the Grand Auction of Primordial Ark, one need to hold at least 100 Million of Boosting Zen Pills in their pocket, unless they only come in as spectators.

    After checking on the item stated within the Grand Auction of the Primordial Ark Boards, Altima is shocked with the unspoken amount of Pills required to have before the auction.

    "Brother Mobi, how can we compete in this crazily priced auction ?"

    Altima is rendered speechless as he saw a number of pills he required.

    "Should we get a recipe on how to concoct a Raising Zen Pills ?"

    Mobi replied, but both brother soon out of ideas, as the amount of pills required to bid even an item is ridiculously high.

    And suddenly.

    "Little Brother Altima!"

    A voice came from behind Altima, and as he turnaround, Altima soon saw a familiar face.

 Chapter 82 - Grand Auction of the Primordial Ark (2)

    As Altima look forward, Yutian Tangfeng appeared from the crowd of peoples, and greet Altima once again.

    "Little brother Altima."

    Yutian Tangfeng clasps his palm together, and greet Altima.

    Altima returns the greeting with the same respect and started to initiate to talk with him.

    "Brother Yutian, Why are you here on the bottom floor ?"

    Altima asked.

    "Oh well, I''m actually slacking here and there, because repeating the same thing is too boring. Should I walk you around and let visit few hidden places within the Primordial Ark ?"

    Yutian Tangfeng speaks.

    "There is hidden places within the Ark ?"

    Altima felt astonished, the Squares and Halls within each floor already would make him take at least a whole month to totally check and view everything, is already enormously packed with information and trades, and yet there is still hidden places that allows one to go in to be surprised ?"

    "Yes, Little brother. You should come over and visit this hidden places, In the same time let me introduce you to my Master as well."

    Yutian Tangfeng quickly leads the way, walking out from the current Ingredient Hall, and directly head towards a wooden wall area that seems to be a resting place for other cultivators to gather around.

    "Brother Altima, sit on the wooden peach stools, and slowly channel some Yin and Yang Essence into the stool."

    Yutian Tangfeng picks a Wooden Peach Stools to land his buttock, and direct Altima to do the same as he does.

    Instantly, as Altima channel some Essence into the wooden stool, he had been instantly transferred into a special room within the Primordial Ark!

    "Yutian greet master."

    Yutian Tangfeng immediately bows towards an elder that stands over the corner of the room, holding a scroll in hand and a stroking the fur of a beast that sitting beside him.

    "Little brother Altima, this person here is my master, he is one of the 36 esteem elders of Ascension Immortal Treasure Sect, Elder Wu Ming (Nameless)."

    Yutian Tangfeng quickly introduces his master to Altima.

    "This little one greet esteem elder Wu."

    Altima quickly bows and clasp his palm together, greet with the utmost respect.

    "Xiao Yutian, is this the one that you say could help Xiao Yang conquer the whole Lan Shen Dalu ?"

    Elder Wu Ming question Yutian again, remembering something Yutian Tangfeng used to tell him.

    "Yes master, This young brother, is that "younger brother" mentioned by Yutian and Yang."

    Yutian Tangfeng answered.

    "Good body, Good foundation, and seems like this kid is not simple at all."

    "Hmm... Your basic from the 18 Door Absorption, 9 spiritual gates, is not weak at all, no wonder you can possess such strength by only cultivating your Spiritual Mind, Heart, and Sense."

    "What a strong Yin and Yang Essence force. You must have a martial art that act as the medium between this two force, if not, you won''t be able to absorb such strong force and amplified them within your body."

    "Your eye is strong and firm, I can believe that this is the reason why Xiao Yutian and Xiao Yang trust you on their first sight."

    "Your mentality¡­ Great."

    "You seems to be good in medicine concoction as well. It''s natural... One that good in Yin and Yang, if you don¡¯t do medicine, it is literally a waste of talents."

    As Elder Wu Ming talked and slowly goes through until the wrist of Altima, he stopped, and face Yutian Tangfeng instead.

    "Xiao Yutian, Don¡¯t you think you slack enough to be here with him ?"

    "Return to your post, else with your contribution point is reduced, until when you needed to work before you get your next Golden Fate Pellet ?"

    Elder Wu Ming speaks.

    This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

    "Ah!! If in that case, Little brother, you continue to talk with Master, I will return to my post!!"

    Yutian Tangfeng rushes towards the exit, and return to his position.

    "Well, now it''s only between us."

    "Little one, shouldn¡¯t you be coming out by now ?"

    Elder Wu Ming seated on his Wooden Peach rocking chair, and place his scroll on the table.

    With his hidden secret is exposed, Mobi transformed back into his original feature, and start talking with Elder Wu Ming.

    "Old Man, how could you overlook my transformation ?"

    Mobi felt weird.

    "Old friend, shouldn¡¯t you appear as well ?"

    Elder Wu Ming gently pats the scroll he just placed on the table, and within seconds, the scroll quickly reacts and transformed into a bigger and stronger Universal Slime.

    "OH MY GOD!! It''s LUPI!"

    With the real appearance of the scroll finally exposed, the two slime started to mix and gradually communicate with each other, while Altima followed Elder Wu Ming to another door at the end of the room.

    ------------------------------------------------------------

    "Ha Ha Ha, Little one, seems like your life encounter is not simple. Would you mind sharing your stories with this old man ?"

    Elder Wu Ming initiates the conversation.

    As one of the people who blessed with the Universal Slime, Altima could trust the fact where they both are one of the chosen, but this doesn¡¯t mean that one should trust another, because, among the Universal Slime, there is a fierce competition as well.

    As he hesitates for a moment, Mobi''s voice came into Altima.

    "Brother, you can trust them both. Although there is a competition between us, but initially, what we are aiming in to reach the top and become immortal, it¡¯s the same to you guys as well."

    "People who chosen by a Universal Slime is always possessed significant knowledge, Mind, and Personality."

    Mobi says before he closes the link and continues with his own conversation.

    "Elder Wu Ming, if in that case, Altima will start sharing his part of stories."

    Altima replied, and started to explain how he went through the ordeal of life, betrayal, reincarnation, the incident that happen during the reincarnation bridge, and many more other things, until where he stands now. After listening to the thorough sharing, Elder Wu Ming started his own part of stories.

    Before born into this world, Elder Wu Ming is a demon in their own dimension. Different from the environment in Rumanian, the demon tribe is divided into a few different faction. Killing and murder is their initial kind of life. But for Wu Ming, he felt that there is more to be done within the Demon World.

    So through his own power and strength, Wu Ming tried to change the life of the demons. They start to cultivate, grow up together with magic and even started their own faction. As the time goes, Wu Ming''s success soared up to the skies, and attract the other Demon King''s attention.

    But unexpectedly, Wu Ming is hunted by the other 5 Different Demon Kings and their subordinates, and getting killed by skewered by more than hundred thousands of demons. Die with regrets, Wu Ming ends up reborn as Elder Wu Ming in this world of Rumanian, accompanied by his partner, Lupi the Universal Slime.

    Lupi, in another way, contained a different diet compared with Mobi. Lupi is more interested in Pelts and Leathers, or even material that specializes in a way they could be used to form any textiles. Together, Lupi and Elder Wu Ming had live within this World for 120 years, and achieve a large amount of knowledge.

    Unfortunately, there is seems to be no hope for Elder Wu Ming to achieve his immortality, thus instead of still fighting to climb the impossible to reach the path, they consider themselves the Guides, in case they met some fellow friends that still scattered among this world.

    "Little one, let me tell you, there is much more than only achieving immortality, as we are reborn in this world. But to find out the path that is correct for you, you should experience the path yourself, or else, you will be stagnant like how I am currently."

    "What do you think ? Do you want to join the Ascension Immortal Treasure Sect ?"

    Elder Wu Ming gives Altima a proposal, and totally give Altima a surprise.

    "Elder... Although I am really interested, but¡­."

    "I am sorry, Elder Wu Ming."

    "It is everyone''s wish to enter the Sect, but for me now, if I enter, I will regret my decision soon after."

    Altima quickly replies and reject the offer.

    Entering the Sect. It is almost everyone life wishes. To be given the honor to enter the Sect and utilize their resources, one could never dream any further than that.

    But for Altima, this is not what he wants.

    He would join the Sect, but it is after he manages to help Yang Wu Di conquer the whole Lan Shen Dalu.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Lupi, this is all lousy foods!"

    Mobi spits the textile away, like a picky eater, he only eats those that made from Arsalite flexible strings and those that made in the form of chain mail sewing for creating a tunics.

    "In my opinion, you are still picky eater as always. What is your level now, after being in the world for 12 years ?"

    Lupi replied. In his mouth, he enjoys the board of high-quality Yin Emperor Spider''s Silk like eating a roll of chocolates.

    "I am at level 18!"

    Mobi announced his level proudly.

    "How weak. When I am at your age, I already reach level 50."

    Lupi immediately gives Mobi a disappointment face.

    "What! Do you wanna fight ?"

    Mobi gets angry, but as he knows, even his condition now is nowhere matching with Lupi''s strength.

    Lupi, after surviving alongside with Elder Wu Ming for more than 120 years, already at the border between level 200 to Level 201. only through a little bit more time, Lupi will gain another increase of level. Based on all the status and skills, Mobi is only an infant, while Lupi is a Grand Elder strength.

    "Mobi, let me tell you this. Among all of us, you are the one that born with a great aptitude. But if you are being lazy and ignorant, you will end up worst than me and Wu Ming, do you know ?"

    Lupi quickly explains roughly how thing should go along for their tribe, and the best way and technique to learn and practice when he is free.

    The two side started to exchange many pointers and knowledge, and soon, Yutian Tangfeng started to teleport within the Special Room.

    "Master, I had done my shift for today!"

    Yutian shouted.

    "Yeah Yeah! As promise, there you go."

    Elder Wu Ming tossed a bag of cultivating pills inside and soon allows Altima to leave the room together with Yutian Tangfeng.

    "Little one, my offer stands as long I am surviving and one of the elders within the Sect. come look for me if you met with any trouble."

    "Oh, this scroll, I received it during the time I venture around the world, but since it¡¯s an old scroll, I never really tried to check what is the recipe all about."

    Elder Wu Ming passed a scroll to Altima, and soon the duo leaves the special room and head directly towards the Wu Di Royal City.

    "Wu Ming, do you think he is capable enough to concoct the Profound Zen Pill ? That pill required one to have the strength of at least a Soul Practitioner to control both flames."

    Lupi says.

    "In my opinion, he has the potential. Let us see how good he is in the Medicine concoction."

    With his last word, Elder Wu Ming finally closes his eyes and prepare to take his nap.

 Chapter 83 - Grand Auction of the Primordial Ark (3)

    Together with Altima, Yutian Tangfeng opened a spatial realm exit, and go through the exit together to reach Wu Di Royal City instantly. Within the Royal Castle, Yutian walks around as if it is his own backyard.

    Through his sense of direction, one could guess that Yutian Tangfeng Is a usual visitor all the time, where even a few Captain guards and also Royal Elite Guards does recognize Yutian Tangfeng.

    Afterall, Yutian is well known due to his rashness and charging attitude, and always clash with Yang Wu Di whenever they met with each other. But as the duo reach the main hall of Wu Di Royal Castle, within is already seated with a few guest, and everyone is chatting happily.

    "So, Brother Muyun, Brother Liones, what happen afterward ?"

    Nan Fang, being the youngest among everyone is deeply attracted with the experience the two bigger brothers encountered.

    "Well, at that moment¡­"

    "Guys!"

    Before Muyun manages to continue, Yutian came in with a shout, and land in the middle of the Royal Hall.

    "Young Yutian greets Royal Father, Royal Uncles, and other brothers!"

    Although his attitude always brings a certain misunderstanding, but with everyone getting used to it, Yutian Tangfeng is always rash but kind and lovable by everyone.

    Discussing and sharing about their first-day treasure hunting and others, Altima quickly excuses himself, while the others starting to understand why would he does that.

    "Brother Altima is always hardworking, with this kind of attitude, being a successful Concocting Master is not too far from his reach."

    Shen Hu Wu Di praised Altima directly, and all the others within the Hall nod in agreement.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Within the Earl''s Manor.

    "Young Master!"

    Gan Ning greets Altima as he saw him returning home.

    The butler quickly had the basics procedures prepare for Altima to use, where Altima quickly freshen himself with a good shower, meal, and rest. Changing into a new attire, Altima proceeds to his private training room and quickly enter his spatial realm to inspect all the available ingredients, treasures and martial arts he recently obtained.

    "Although I just obtain the few martial arts, but those can be further strengthened later, I should focus on my concoction first since I would be requiring it to increase my funds."

    Currently, Altima have a total of 1,850,000 Boosting Zen Pill, where 1,450,000 among them is in the Late Medicinal Grade and another 400,000 is at Early Medicinal Grade, after converting altogether, Altima could expect that his inventory currently has a total of 3,700 Units of Raising Zen Pills.

    Added with his current offer within the Primordial Ark, the 150 units of Yin Yang Tear Drops and the 450 units of Brilliant Spirit Pills still unsold, Altima might expect a total of about 100 Raising Zen Pill will be available within his hand soon.

    Checking on the recipe he obtained from Elder Wu Ming, Altima couldn¡¯t help but to be surprised with the priceless treasure given by the Elder.

    =================================================================================================

    "I wonder did Elder Wu Ming manage to check my inventory as well, because this recipe he gave me, totally match with the type of ingredient I am having in hand."

    "Since Elder Wu Ming is giving me such an expensive gift, Brother Mobi, shall we give him back something on equal price ?"

    Altima is cheerful at this current situation. By having the ingredient and recipe to concoct such priceless cultivating medicine, Altima can quickly gather his fund, and participate in the Grand Auction later.

    Without wasting more time, Altima proceeds with his concocting.

    Placing all the ingredient required on the table, Altima first prepares all the initial ingredient to concoct a total of 500 batches of Basic Profound Zen Pills.

    First, Altima had all the Pure Yin Essence Grass and Pure Yang Essence Root to be thoroughly cleaned before he moves over to the Demonic Beast Core. Altima inspects each core, to ensure the core within is not damaged and destroyed. After handing the Concoction for more than hundred of thousand times now, Altima had himself trained to be very detail and careful in each of his concoction.

    "A Concocting Master starts his concocting from choosing his quality ingredient, to cleaning, inspecting, refining and lastly arranging, before he started to pour it into the cauldron and process the ingredient and form their Initial Medicinal Pill Stage."

    Ending his inspection on the final two Ingredient, the Mellow Fruits, and the 1,000 Year Medicinal Blood. After he making sure all the ingredient is completely perfect and suitable for Alchemist Concoction, Altima divides them into a total of 500 Stacks of one complete set, and start to apply strong Yang Essence flame to preheat the cauldron.

    With the Cauldron is heated and ready for concoction, Altima first place the Pure Yang Essence Root into the Cauldron, While applying strong amount of Yin Essence towards the Pure Yin Essence Grass, to thoroughly extract only the purest Essence extract within each Grass. While on the Root, Altima''s Yang Energy quickly make the root started to dry up and getting flakes all around the roots.

    With the roots dried up, leaving only a few drops within the center of the roots, Altima removes the impure residue and started to move only the extract from the Yin Grass into the cauldron. By placing the Mellow Fruit, which looked like a small olive fruit, in the cauldron, Altima had the Yin Essence and Yang Essence drop injected into the Fruit, and notice the changes happened within the fruit.

    A few lines of Red and Blue energy started to flow within the Fruit, and later, the fruit start to glow in a mixture of Red and Blue color all around the body. And soon, the skin of the fruit started to get peeled off, revealing the internal of the fruit.

    The Center seed is bearing an image of a heart, while the reddish and bluish essence energy is flowing around the seed, making the Seed having a look of a beating heart. Next step, by pouring the 1,000 year Medicinal Blood on the heart looking seed, the blood quickly flow and shape a piece of heart.

    Altima then allows the seed to slowly move and assimilate with the Demonic Beast Core.

    Soon, showered with an abundant essence of Yin and Yang, the Demonic Beast Core started to crack, and revealing a medicinal fragrant that envelope the whole room. With the crack getting more and more visible, the core that hidden within started to swell and destroy the Demonic Beast Core which wrapped tightly like an egg shell.

    Within the destroyed Demonic Beast Core, came out a total of 8 pieces of Basic Profound Zen Pill, fresh and abundant with Zen Essence Energy flowing within the Pills.

    "Success!"

    Altima happily grabs the 8 pills and inspect for any flaws before he passes a message to Gunther.

    "Gunther, I have a new medicinal Pill concocted, Can you make me a few box that could store a large amount of Medicinal Pills ?"

    Without waiting for replies, Altima continued with his concoction, trying to fully utilize all his time to concoct the medicine.

    Moments later, Gunther came with a special Medicinal Case. The case is wrapped with beautiful Briolite Layering, with the strength to withstand heavy impacts externally. Instead of saying it is a huge medicinal Box, it would be more correctly to say it¡¯s a jewelry box with a total of 13 pieces of Dark Spatial Beads On the surface.

    The smaller 12 piece of Smaller Spatial Beads is embedded like a clock, with a center beads that bigger in size slightly.

    Upon application of a signature amount of Zen Essence, the beads within will activate, allowing the box to open up to a total of 4 compartments to store a total of 48 pieces of pills, divided into 4 stacks on the front and back, left and right of the box.

    With this new method of blacksmithing and Artistic Smith, Altima could have a small box to store a total of 576 pieces of Medicinal Pills each time. The center Spatial Bead is not activated as a storage, but it has two special functions. The first one is to be the storage spaces for the 12 beads compartment, and second, is to work as a lock, and upon the correct input, a middle storage within the box will be opened, and allow one to keep 3 different High-quality Treasure Medicinal Pill within.

    Receiving a total of 5 Box from Gunther, Altima returns to the concoction process.

    Continuously concocting the leftover 499 batch, Altima''s speed in the concoction getting faster than usual. In a short few hours, he manages to complete the 500 batch of Basic Profound Zen Pill, although the success of the concoction is around 350 / 500. currently, in his hand, Altima held a total of 2,800 Piece of Basic Profound Zen Pills, and among them, a total of 2,700 is in the Early Medicinal Grade and another 100 in Late Medicinal Grade.

    Next, Altima starts with the Intermediate Profound Zen Pills, through applying the same concoction method, he soon comes out with a total of 30 Success among 100 batches of the ingredient he possesses.

    Similar to the results of the Basic Profound Zen Pills, Altima currently holding a total of 240 Pills in his hand, where each of this cultivating medicine is ten times stronger than basic Boosting Zen Pills.

    "Shall we go to the Primordial Ark and check with the Procurement Square ? Perhaps I can get some buyer that is interested in purchasing this cultivating resources."

    Altima asked himself, then decided to pay another visit to the Primordial Ark as soon as the morning sunrise.

 Chapter 84 - Grand Auction of the Primordial Ark (4)

    Following next day morning, Altima proceeds towards the location where the Kun Practitioner is positioned and withdraw a total of 10 Boosting Zen Pill as the entrance fee into the Primordial Ark. After proceeding, as usual, Altima entered the Ark and quickly heads to the Procurement Hall.

    Within the Hall, Altima went over to the procurement hall elder, to inspect his treasure and its worth. Unexpectedly, the cultivating medicine actually gives the Elder a shock.

    "Young one, this is¡­ Profound Zen Pills!"

    The elder quickly shook his head, couldn¡¯t believe the treasure that placed in front of him.

    "Young one, where did you found this few boxes of treasures ?"

    The elder happily checks the Profound Zen Pill and its quality, and on the same time, he seems to be very interested in getting a hold on Altima''s background.

    "Elder Wang Ming, can I participate in this talk too ?"

    Elder Wu Ming appeared behind Elder Wang and asking for a permission.

    "Elder Wu Ming, Little Altima pays you a greeting."

    Altima quickly greets Wu Ming politely.

    "So, you seems to succeed in concocting this medicine."

    Elder Wu Ming grabs a few pills in his hand, and thoroughly check its quality before he places it back to the box.

    "Yes, Little Altima is grateful for Elder''s generosity, and thanks to the luck to procure some ingredients available within this Primordial Ark, this little one manage to concoct a few to bring over here to try his luck on selling it."

    "Elder Wu Ming, If you don¡¯t mind, would you be kind enough to accept this gift as a goodwill and appreciating gesture ?"

    Altima speaks politely, showing his gratitude on Elder Wu Ming''s generosity on gifting him the Recipe, as a friendship token. In the same time, he withdraws a beautiful Pill box with 7 Basic Profound Zen Pills within, and all of them is in their Late Medicinal Grade Strength.

    "Ha Ha Ha! No wonder even Little Yutian and Little Yang praise you like no tomorrow. Then this elder will thicken his face up, and receive this gift then."

    Elder Wu Ming happily receives the Pillbox, and patted on Elder Wang Ming''s back, with an exchange of look, Elder Wang Ming understand the reason Elder Wu Ming appears during their conversation. After a few more words, Elder Wu Ming leaves the place, leaving only Altima and Elder Wang there.

    "Little one, seems like your Background is not too weak."

    The elder praised Altima on his capability.

    "I wonder how could I exchange this Pills ?"

    Altima goes back to his main motive within this Primordial Ark.

    "Young one, this Elder is very interested in obtaining this Basic Profound Zen Pills. Would you mind considering to conduct a trade with this elder ?"

    Elder Wang speaks out his intention.

    Perhaps many people don''t notice the other responsibility bear by the elders within the Ascension Immortal Treasure Sect, but in fact, each elder does have more responsibility behind the scene, during the period they are not located within the Primordial Ark.

    The Ascension Immortal Treasure Sect is actually divided into a few different Branch, covering many different aspects. Of course with this kind of placement, there would be some slight competition between the branches, and also additional expectations to be put on the Elders shoulder.

    Although the position "Elder" is attractive to the public eyes, in truth, they are merely a Master Trainer within the Sect itself. Elder Wang Ming is in the 9th Rank elder position, in duty to train new outer sect disciple. The sect disciple that train under his wing is not less than 1,000 disciple, and as their teacher, Elder Wang Ming required to diligently train them and increase their cultivation, before the disciple could be sent out to partake in some missions such as gathering ingredients, hunting for treasures and beast, or capturing locations or maintaining formations on behalf of the sect.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.

    Due to the increase of numbers of the new disciple, Elder Wang required to spent a large number of resources, such as Balancing Zen Pills and Boosting Zen Pills, to allow his disciple to cultivate to a higher stage before they could participate in succeeding some task.

    Although the Sect does provide monthly salary to the elder, and some benefits to the disciple every month, but there is no free lunch within this world. One would need to work to obtain more benefits. A disciple required to contribute to the Sect and does many various jobs to obtain points, so they could exchange it for more cultivating resources and tempering medicine.

    While for the Elder, their contribution points are depending on the number of the disciple, their stage, their contribution, and their quality. The better the overall disciple cultivation an elder holds, the better the contribution point the elder will be obtained, where he could use it to exchange for a better weapon, cultivation medicine and treasures for his disciples and himself.

    With this thousand of Basic Profound Zen Pills, Elder Wang could quickly enhance his disciple cultivation, but of course, this sort of chance doesn¡¯t come too often.

    "Elder Wang, please state your expectation and what you could offer."

    Altima replied politely.

    "Young one, how bout you sell this Basic Profound Zen Pill to me with a price of 250 Balancing Zen Pill each, together with 1 more batch of ingredients ?"

    The price elder Wang offered is not too high, compared to what Altima is expecting, but from the range of market price, the ingredient actually doesn¡¯t cost too much. A batch of Basic Profound Zen Pill cost Altima around 500 to 600 Balancing Zen Pills, and each batch could yield him a total of 8 Pills. If he manages to concoct without failures, Altima cost Is roughly about 100 Balancing Zen Pill each, but this Basic Profound Zen Pill have 10 times stronger medicinal value compare to Balancing Zen Pills.

    The 10 times stronger medicinal value could decrease the time spent in cultivating, and yet obtaining similar results. Another concern is due to the number of medicine used. A human body have a natural resistance to anything edible or consumables. Through a frequent consumption on cultivating medicine, a cultivator body will slowly gain some resistance, therefore, the gain from using similar stage medicine would cause the cultivation to grow slower.

    This is the reason why, when a practitioner reaches the stage between Master to Spiritual Practitioner, would prefer looking for some Boosting Zen Pills, and not choosing the Balancing Zen Pill to cultivate. Lastly, is the number of medicine they need to refine and absorb, during the cultivation.

    A cultivator who cultivates with Balancing Zen Pill might use all his strength to refine 100 pills at a time, to refine, absorb and convert the energy into his Dantian. but if the cultivator only required to refine 10 Basic Profound Zen Pill to achieve a similar amount of energy into his Dantian, imagine how fast his cultivation would be, if he could refine 10 times the amount through refining 100 Basic Profound Zen Pill in one try ?

    One need to know, the Profound Zen Pill is cleanly refined and concocted, so no additional attention required to purify the medicine and separate the impurities during Refining and absorption.

    "Elder Wang, I''m glad elder is interested in this medicine. If in this case, could I provide the elder with 2,000 Pills first ?"

    Altima withdraws another 2,000 Pills that kept within a spatial ring and hand it over to Elder Wang.

    "Hmm, 2,000 Pills. Young one seems like your Skills in Alchemy is not too shabby. Now I know why even Elder Wu Ming come out to meet you."

    Elder Wang received the Spatial ring and order a few disciple to help him gather some ingredients, and continue to talk with Altima for a moment. 20 minutes later, the Disciple return with the spatial ring and passed it over to Elder Wang.

    "Here, this two Raising Zen Pill is what you deserve. Another one is a ring with 2,000 Batch of the Ingredient for the Basic Profound Zen Pill."

    Elder Wang hands the ring and 2 Raising Zen Pill to Altima and excuses himself from the Procurement Hall.

    Richer by a 2 Raising Zen Pill, Altima proceeds toward the ingredient square to procure higher tier ingredients, where he would be using it for the concoction on Intermediate Profound Zen Pill. As he collects the total sales for the Yin Yang Tear Drops and the Brilliant Zen Pills, Altima withdraws a total of 148 Raising Zen Pills, a total of 48 units higher than what he expects.

    As he preparing to leave, after manage to purchase 200 sets of ingredients, Altima is greeted by another Cultivator visiting the Primordial Ark.

    "Young one, are you the one who place the Brilliant Spirit Pill in the Procurement Board ?"

    The man politely greets Altima and tried to identify Altima''s identity.

    "Yes. I am Altima, a cultivator under the Wu Di Royal Family, you are ?"

    Altima replied and gave up his background details as well, in case the person wish to do anything.

    "I see. How fortunate for Shen Hu to manage to find such talented youngster to assist his Clan."

    "Young Friend, are you interested in becoming a special guest within our Sect ?"

    "I heard from Wu Ming and Wang Ming, you are quite a talented cultivator as well as a potential Concocting Master."

    The man sigh as he heard that Altima belonged to the Wu Di Royal Family, but next moment, he tried to invite Altima to his sect as a special guest, to guide some of their disciples in the field of Alchemy as well as in Martial Arts.

    "This Senior is ?"

    Altima hesitates to agree, without knowing the man''s background.

    "Oh! Pardon me! I am Spirit Beast Clan (Ling Shou Bang) Protectors, my name is Ling Hu."

    "We are a Clan of cultivators that excel in controlling Spiritual Energy and Beast Taming."

    "The motive I am extending this invitation is because we have two Recipe to concoct, but we are unable to find the correct and good concocting master to come and concoct this medicine for us."

    "Since Young friend Altima is a potential Concocting Master, would you consider coming over for a try, as well as treat it as a visit towards a different Continent."

    Ling Hu introduced himself, as well as a little information on the Clan he is associate with, his intention to talk with Altima, as well as extending an invitation to Altima, getting him over to the clan to try to concoct two different medicinal Pills for the clan.

    "Can Senior tell me which continent you came from ?"

    Altima is interested in visiting as well, but first, he needs to know where he is going before he decides.

    "Ha Ha Ha! Me and our Spirit Beast Clan originated from the Huo Lin Dalu! (Flame Forest Continent)"

 Chapter 85 - Grand Auction of the Primordial Ark (5)

    "Senior, did you just mentioned the Flame Forest Continent ?"

    Altima double confirm the word he just heard.

    "Yes, Little friend. The Biggest Continent within 16 Main Continent. The Flame Forest Continent."

    "Well, although the Spirit Beast Clan is not too huge, but we do have around ten of thousands of disciple within the Clan."

    "Why don¡¯t you follow me to the Continent, and In return, I will teach you a trick on how to combine the art of Beast-Riding and Beast Subduing ?"

    Ling Hu quickly throw out some advantages, to hook Altima interest and bring him over to the Spirit Beast Clan.

    "Senior Ling, how bout like this. Currently, this junior is in the middle of preparing to concoct a batch of medicinal pills for an elder within the sect, so I''m afraid that if I leave without any notice, I would cause some trouble to the elder. Perhaps, after the Grand Auction of the Primordial Ark is over, I will follow Senior Ling immediately to the Flame Forest Continent ?"

    Altima lied a little. Although he got no contract on hand that keeps him from leaving the continent, but Altima wish to participate in the Grand Auction, thus he decided not to leave the continent for now.

    "Great! So if in that case, I will come find you at the Wu Di Royal Castle after one month period is over!"

    "In the meantime, let me go back to my clan to propose a special flying stead for you first then."

    "Is the King Beast Grade flying stead good enough for you to use as starters ?"

    "Maybe I can get you a Snake Bloodline Flying Beast."

    "Hmm¡­ let me try to ask the Patriarch to allow me to prepare you a Blood King Sky Python then. Well, young Altima, I will proceed to return to my clan first, I will see you after a month."

    After he got Altima''s word that he will follow him to his clan as a special guest, Ling Hu started to get talkative, and considering a stead for Altima when the one month period waiting is over. As he left the hall, he still remains talkative, choosing a stead for Altima after a month.

    With everything is complete for the day, Altima proceeds to leave the Primordial Ark, and return to the Royal Castle again. Repeating the same process like yesterday, Altima first starts his day with concocting the Basic Profound Zen Pill, followed by the Intermediate Profound Zen Pill, the Extreme Yin, and Yang Extracts and return to his cultivation.

    Follow up with his cultivation, Altima quickly reaches the state of Spiritual Creation Stage, where his next spiritual Body is almost formed. Absorbing the surrounding Zen Essence into his body as he refines his body, Altima Spiritual Core quickly forms itself and locating itself within the Dantian area on his Spiritual Body.

    Without any mean to stop, Altima continues to refine his spiritual body, and very quickly, he started to use the available Intermediate Profound Zen Pill within his Inventory. 100, 200, 500. Soon, Altima refined a total of 600 Intermediate Profound Zen Pills, and within the Spiritual Body, a Spiritual Core manifested, and appeared within the body!

    Altima strength surge, with the Spiritual Core inside the Body, Altima''s Spiritual released a special kind of energy, enveloping the area surrounding him. Covered with the special kind of energy, the First Rate Yin Essence Emperor Dragon Root and Yang Essence Monarch Dragon Marrow started to glow brightly, and release a blinding shine.

    Blinded by the lights, Altima and all other living beings within the Private Cultivation farm is forced to close their eyes for a moment.

    As the light fade out from everyone''s eye, slight changes happened in the sky.

    Instead of shining brightly under the light from the Spatial Sun, the Private Cultivation Farm currently surrounded by the background of a Universe, where shooting stars, traveling planets could be seen all around the sky.

    Altima turned around, looking for the main cause of the blinding light, and happy with the current sight as he turns around.

    The First Rate Yin Essence Emperor Dragon Root give birth through its Yin energy and same from the Yang Essence Monarch Dragon Marrow. The Yin and Yang Energy combined together, giving birth to a Dragon Bloodline Infant dragon.

    The Little dragon, white in color, with a well-arranged scales, look like an armadillo, is sleeping and snoring soundly, as it was born into this world.This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

    There is an Azure color Bead in the middle of its forehead, emitting a strong undulation of Zen energy, while in its both side of the upper back, right above its front limb, came out two small little wings, that doesn¡¯t seem to be strong enough to allow this little dragon to fly.

    Its tail came out nicely too, with a total of 12 pointed tips arranged nicely from the starting to the end, and finally, on its back, there is a total of 8 Sharp Spikes, protruding directly from its backbone, and one could some clear substance keep flowing from the edge.

    Altima moves over to the dragon and tried to pat its head.

    Believing that since this Dragon is born from the combination of the Yin Essence Emperor Dragon Root and Yang Essence Monarch Dragon Marrow, and some of his Spiritual Core special energy, Altima place a confidence in himself, and touch the dragon on its forehead.

    As he touches the dragon forehead and the Azure Bead, a shining light comes out from the gap between the dragon''s scale and Altima''s skin.

    "Approving Ownership!"

    "You have activated the First Blessing of Universal Gift!"

    "You have now obtained the right to own One of the Treasures of Universal Realm, (Origin Celestial Dragon)!"

    Information: The Origin Celestial Dragon, Further information is not available.

    With the notification disappeared from Altima''s view, the dragon soon wakes up, as if its restriction had just been released.

    The dragon slowly lifts its head, opened its eyes, and stare blankly on Altima, before jaw full of nothing else but a set of fangs, that not sharp enough to chew a meat at all and stays there for a moment.

    "Arrrwuuu¡­¡­"

    "Gu Gu Gu Gu¡­"

    The dragon making some weird noises, but keeping its jaw opened.

    "Is it¡­ Hungry ?"

    Altima guesses roughly on its behavior, and soon, he tosses a few fruits into the dragon''s mouth.

    The Origin Celestial Dragon close its jaw, and with a poof sound, a round of fruits bullet shot from its mouth and hit Altima hard.

    "Roar¡­"

    The dragon sound turns sour and disappointed.

    "This guy¡­"

    Feeling a little heartache, Altima withdraw a Pure Yin Silk Worm, and a 1,000 Year Mandrake from his inventory, and put in front of the dragon''s nose for it to smell it first.

    As the Origin Celestial Dragon smell both of the ingredients, its tongue flew out in high speed, immediately swallow both ingredients into its mouth. Not even need to chew, both ingredients entered its stomach and strengthen the Origin Celestial Dragon slightly.

    "Seems like this guy love things that come with strong Yin or Yang Essence. Maybe I should look for something good for it to eat."

    Altima put a few ingredients and item in his consideration to be purchased, and as the dragon stands and tried to walk, Altima looked at the dragon as it held its head higher, and touched Altima''s palm.

    "What should I call you, Little one ?"

    Altima''s heart is melted. Never in his mind think before, that a dragon could be this mild, cute and lovely.

    "Should I call you Xiao Bai (Little White) ?"

    Altima asked the dragon, and repeatedly mention the word, Xiao Bai. But the dragon''s head shakes to its left and right, trying to disagree with Altima''s selection.

    "Xiao Huo (Little Flame) ?"

    The dragon shakes its head more.

    "Xiao Lung (Little Dragon) ?"

    The dragon turns its head away, showing its anger on Altima.

    "The Sky look so nice now, maybe I will just call you Xiao Tian (Little Sky)."

    The dragon looked towards Altima as he praised the view above the sky, but as Altima say Xiao Tian, it turns around once again.

    "Tian."

    Altima mentioned a single word.

    The dragon turned around, and look at Altima, nodded slightly in agreement.

    "From this moment, your name is TIAN (Azure Sky)."

    "You will be the greatest dragon of all time, and together, we will reach immortality together."

    Tian heard Altima''s word and stands up on its back limb as agreement.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The next morning, Altima wakes within his own spatial realm. Reminding himself that he need to make sure he deliver the Basic Profound Zen Pills to Elder Wang, Altima wakes up slightly earlier, so he could arrange and calculate the total amount of medicine he had concocted yesterday.

    1,300/2,000 batch of Basic Profound Zen Pills success, a total of 10,400 Pills, with 1,000 in Late Medicinal Grade. Added with his concoction from the day before, Altima possesses a total of 10,100 Basic Zen Pills and a total of 1,100 Late Medicinal Grade Basic Zen Pills.

    70/200 batch of Intermediate Profound Zen Pills success, Total of 560 Pills is concocted. Added with 240 from the day before, Altima has a total of 800 Intermediate Pills but used 600 of it to cultivate his 4th Spiritual Body parts.

    With this inventory, Altima repeats the same procedures as the day before and went directly towards Elder Wang first before he visits other places.

 Chapter 86 - Grand Auction of the Primordial Ark (6)

    "Elder Wang, Little one pay respect to elder and your hard works."

    Altima greet first when he saw Elder Wang Ming is walking around, replacing a few Procurement Parchment from the Walls while inspecting for any expired Procurement request.

    "Ah, young friend Altima, are you here for the pills delivery ? How many pills in stock this time ?"

    Elder Wang is happy to see Altima within the Hall, and together, both of them move towards the private area within the Hall to discuss and conduct the exchanges.

    To his surprise, Altima actually withdraws a total of 10,000 Pills and handed it over to the elder.

    "10,000 Pills, this is going to cost almost all my savings."

    "Young friend Altima, are you going to change all of it into 10,000 batches of Ingredients ?"

    The elder takes all the medicinal pills and awaits Altima''s decision.

    "Elder Wang, can I get a same 2,000 Batch of Ingredients, and the others change to ingredient or fruits that rich in Yin or Yang Essence ?"

    Altima tried to request for a slight amendment on the ingredients he should receive.

    "Of course!"

    "Item that rich in Yin or Yang Essence¡­"

    "Oh yes! Xiao San San.."

    Elder Wang Ming suddenly remembered a specific item that came into their inventory a while back, and order one of his disciple to went over to retrieve it.

    Soon after 20 minutes waiting, the disciple return with two different type of fruit.

    "Master, this is the two type of fruits you requested from the Back Channel."

    The disciple presents the two fruits between Altima and Elder Wang.

    Back Channel. This location is reserved especially to store special type of ingredients that have no recipe to be concocted at the moment. Some of the fruit is possibly old, or too well refined, thus the usage of the certain type of ingredient is nullified.

    "Young friend Altima, this red Stone lookalike fruit is from the Crimson Blood Tree, named as the Crimson Tear due to the shape of this fruit is similar to a drop of tears, but in a pear size."

    "This Crimson Tear Fruit is rejected from usage to concoct medicinal due to the overly Yang Essence Property. Due to this matter, the Sect decided to store this ingredient away in the Back Channel, and awaits new recipe to be created or found."

    "Next is this Artic Water Tongue. This ingredient used to be an ingredient to craft a type of peak spiritual grade pills, but unfortunately, the mutation happens on the soil the Artic Water Tongue is growing within, so the Artic Water Tongue grows in a ridiculous flow of Yin Essence."

    "Due to this two fruits is not up to the standard, the Sect decided to give them out if there are any needs."

    As the elder finish his words, Altima receives a total of 10 Raising Zen Pills, and a total of 500 Crimson Tear Fruit and 500 Artic Water Tongue.

    Receiving all the exchanged fruits and the 10 Raising Zen Pills, Altima finally bid farewell and leave the procurement hall. Within his mind, Altima noticed how difficult for him to obtain more capital to participate in the Grand Auction. Although each Raising Zen Pill is worth around 500 Boosting Zen Pill, but to achieve a minimum amount of a few million Boosting Zen Pills and Raising Zen Pills, is totally out of his league for now.

    As he leaving the Primordial Ark, Altima bumps into two close brothers of his, Wuyun Tuoba and Yutian Tangfeng.

    "Brother Yutian, Brother Wuyun."

    Altima initiate to start a conversation.

    "Well, Well, seems like little brother Altima is here again for Elder Wang''s delivery. How is everything goes for now ?"

    Yutian Tangfeng started a topic.

    "Brother Yutian, thanks to Elder Wu, I manage to have a better chance to increase my wealth, but too bad, this trick is currently still too slow for me."

    Altima answered Yutian Tangfeng''s question, and a slightly impatient face appear within his looks.

    "Little brother, Let us find a place to rest, over there, I will explain to you one by one how our Primordial Ark''s transaction works."

    Yutian Tangfeng understands what Altima meant, and tried to look for a place to discuss more about it.

    -----------------------------------------------

    "Brother Yutian, can you enlighten little brother here ?"

    "Brother Altima, to be honest, the way you are doing now is a just preliminary stage of the Primordial Ark exchanges."

    This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

    "Can Brother Yutian go into more details ?"

    "Sure. Brother Altima, the reason the Primordial Ark is over here, is not only to conduct the Grand Auction and the Trade Exchange. We are actually looking to obtain more treasure before we head to the next continent."

    "Currently, what Master Wu is trying to let you know is, you should ready your foundation, because, by next week, your performance in Alchemy will be the main skill to help you obtain more resources to hit the Grand Auction."

    "Brother Muyun, your meaning is¡­"

    "Your capability in this basic exchange will determine your rights and qualification to view better treasure, obtain a better number of resources and more chances to obtain the Elders favor."

    "To participate in the Grand Auction, one would need sufficient amount of resources to exchange. Look in this way, even if Wu Di Royal Family, Qin Royal Family, and the Guo Royal Family combined their wealth together, perhaps their total wealth doesn¡¯t even reach 1,000 Pure Zen Pill. (Pure Zen Pill is the highest Zen Stage Pill, specially concocted for King - Emperor level practitioners)"

    "What you needed now Is favor from the elders, to specially concoct more resources for them. Even some royal family will allow their special Elite troops to participate in war and raids, to obtain more resources to participate in the grand auction."

    "Little Altima will remember both brothers advise. I will return and make sure my alchemy skills is on its track."

    "Good, if in that case, we will leave first, we have a task soon, so you might can''t meet both of us in the meantime."

    "Farewell, Brother Yutian, Brother Muyun."

    ---------------------------------------------------

    As he returns to his Manor, Altima finishes his conversation with the other personnel within the manor and entered his Private Cultivation Farm with haste.

    Within the farm, Altima quickly gets ready to concoct the 2,000 batch of Basic Profound Zen Pills, and in his surprise, he actually manages to obtain a total of 1,400/2,000 success this time. Although it is only a difference of 100 in other people''s eyes, but in fact, 100 batch equals to 800 pills, 800 pills could mean a big difference, especially for cultivators to made a breakthrough.

    Next, Altima moves over to the location where Tian is sleeping.

    Tian, after being shower with some Yin and Yang energy flowing around, started to get slightly healthier, and his weight started to get over 370kg for now. Withdrawing a few fruits from the spatial ring he received from the Elder Wang, Altima feeds the Crimson Tear Fruit and Artic Water Tongue to Tian.

    As soon as the little dragon, Tian, smelled a mellow and sweet fragrance flavor from the fruits, it immediately stands up and wags its tail like a puppy, asking to be fed. Looking at how this little fella behaves, Altima fed the Crimson Tear Fruit to Tian one by one and looking at how gluttony this fella is, Altima felt slightly heartache.

    "This fella really can eat. 1,000 fruits are swallowed without stopping, and that amount is actually worth 8,000 batches of Basic Profound Zen Pill''s ingredient."

    "Gurururuu¡­"

    "EEErrrrrk.."

    Tian facial expression suddenly gets weird. As it lied down on the bed of rocks, Tian started to burp uncontrollably. The burp he just released came in a form of Red and blue gasses.

    "This fella really, did he just burp after finishing his 1,000 expensive fruits meal and now falling asleep ?"

    Altima is totally speechless with Tian''s laziness.

    While within this lazy dragon''s mind.

    "Today my owner bring me so many red and blue foods."

    "He keeps giving, so I keep eating."

    "I want to let him know my burp Is treasure! If I shit later, it will turn into treasure too!"

    "Fine, I should sleep first. Later I can wake up and eat again. I think the burp will form into the Condensed Yin Pill and Condensed Yang Pill soon. I will sleep on this Yin and Yang bed then. I wonder how fast will this bed of rock will take to nicely refined into the spring of Dragon''s Drool."

    "Maybe I should sleep more. Owner will return with food later."

    Within the Yin Yang Cultivation Circle, Altima spent his remaining time to practice his martial art without fail. By efficiently mastering the few new martial arts along with the help of Yi Jing Classics, Altima improvement in the field of martial arts is not lower compared to his Alchemy.

    Currently, after continuous practice, Altima''s martial art in few new arts already started to reach some perfection level. If things continue to go along pretty well, Altima can expect a few of them will be ready to combine and upgrade when the time is right.

    And yet, after a little of training, Altima suddenly get pulled into his Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace.

    "Why would I get pulled into this place automatically ?"

    Staring blankly on the Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace, Altima decided to walk around, looking around and understand how his palace works.

    Soon, he started to lost some patience.

    "Seriously, Why would I get summoned into this place ? Did it need me to do something ?"

    "I remembered it''s said that I would need to use a large amount of Yin and Yang Energy to strengthen the Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace."

    "Should I try to place some Extreme Yin and Yang Extract to try its effectiveness ?"

    Without hesitation, Altima withdraws a total of 10 Extreme Yin and 10 Extreme Yang Extracts, and place it on the floor, and checking for the differences it would bring. But after about 10 minutes of waiting, Altima see no ripples or reaction from the Extracts.

    Next, he started to move around, with the Yin on his left and Yang on his right. Due to the emptiness of Yin and Yang Essence within the Palace Realm, Altima moving randomly, without any results at all on the Extreme Extract within his hand.

    He tried to place it nearby the soil, the tree, the cauldron, and even the pond, but to no avail, no reaction could be seen from all his actions. With nothing could be done, Altima felt like it¡¯s the end of his world.

    "Why couldn¡¯t I refine the Inner Palace ?"

    "Screw it, instead of keeping it back, let''s just eat this few Extreme Extracts. Since you guys don''t want to refine it, I will swallow it into my body instead!"

    With anger in his heart, Altima swallows the 20 drops of extract into his belly, and lied down on the soil, trying to get a nap.

    Instantly, His body turned into a two color tone, and a large amount of Yin and Yang Essence is bursting out from every corner of his Dantian. Shocked with the changes, Altima quickly shifted himself into a meditative posture, and try to refine the berserk Yin and Yang Essence.

    As he focuses, the Yin Yang Essence slowly seeps out from every single pore on his body, and slowly dissipates and mixed together with the Palace Realm. Slowly but noticeable, the Palace Realm started to get more and more colorful, where the Tree of Longevity and the Flame of Dan (the eternal fire below the cauldron) is started to show some changes.

    Altima repeatedly swallows, refine and release the Essence within his body, as he trains and tempers his body through using the Yin and Yang Essence. Although the current result is not distinct, but Altima''s Essence Storage is increasing a little by a little.

    Soon, the Tree of Longevity started to bear a few fruits, but not ripe enough to be pluck and eaten.

    Next, within the cauldron, a dull colored medicinal pill appeared within, except a strong undulation of Yin and Yang, no special properties could be seen within.

    The pond has no distinct life at the moment, but smaller planktons and shrimps, fishes and shelled oysters are growing healthily within.

    The Soil started to be brimmed with life essence, where some grasses started to grow longer, making the piece of land started to get greener and smooth to be lied on whenever one felt like taking a nap.

    "If this is the way to refine the Palace Realm, then I have so much work to do!"

    Altima happily walks towards the Palace entrance and see a Stone Plaque erected tall before the entrance.

    Looking at the Stone Plaque, Altima notices a line of word carved on it, but not too visible as the carving is yet to be complete.

    Ignoring what is written, Altima decided to leave the Palace Realm, and return to his Cultivation Farm.

    As he returns, Altima notice nothing changed within his Cultivation farm and walking over to Gunther and Mo Yue, Altima notice that the Spear they both working on, is still in the same condition.

    "Gunther, Mo Yue, did you guys stop working on the spear for few hours ?"

    Altima asked as he is inside the Palace Realm for about 6 hours before he exit.

    "My lord, you just leave from the workshop 6 to 7 minutes just now, how could you expect us to create any changes on this rare piece of work ?"

    Gunther replies immediately bring a weird response from Altima.

    "Hell! Don¡¯t tell me that one hour within the Palace Realm is only a Minutes in the real world ?"

 Chapter 87 - Grand Auction of the Primordial Ark (7)

    Noticing the differences in time between the Palace Realm and the real world, Altima tried to crucify his hypothesis. Without waiting, he immediately calls for Silvia and awaits her arrival to his side.

    After a short moment, Silvia came running and giving out a soft howl, asking for affections. The graceful six furry silver tail and the essence undulation of a mesmerizing Silver Six-Tail Fox quickly appear within his sight.

    Immediately wrapping itself and all the tails on Altima''s body, this Silvia the Fox is even more physical attached towards Altima compared to other girls. If Ganesha is here, and Silvia is actually a living human female, perhaps this two will be fighting with each other due to jealousy.

    "Silvia, do you want to come with me to my Inner Palace and cultivate ?"

    "But in return, you might be alone within that realm. And once you are within, you won''t be able to exit as you like, it would be almost like imprison there for eternity."

    Altima tried to receive Silvia''s agreement before he proceeds to bring her into the Palace Realm.

    Listened to Altima''s word, Although Silvia is a demonic beast, but after it manages to cultivate into the Master Stage, Silvia started to understand some human language. Placing her head on Altima''s palm, Silvia nodded in agreement, to follow together with Altima''s wish.

    Together, the two immediately enter the Palace Realm, and as Silvia entered the realm, a chain made from the palace charge out and lock Silvia, imprison her and leaving only a single spot to enter a seal within her heart.

    Altima immediately bleed her finger, and place a drop on the spot, thus allowing Silvia to receive the approval to become the Guardian of this Inner Palace. Immediately, after receiving the honor, Silvia received a shine of light, and soon, the Soil, Pond, Tree and Cauldron started to release a special kind of essence, flowing into Silvia''s body without a sign of stopping.

    Receiving the special essence flowing into her body, Silvia is forced to sit in the position she usually did to cultivate and refine the energy within her body. In a short moment, Silvia strength quickly breaks the 2nd stage and enter the 3rd Stage of Master Practitioner.

    Looking at how quick Silvia cultivates, Altima felt that he shouldn¡¯t be slacking as well, so he continues to refine the energy released from the Extreme Extract, and slowly strengthen his Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace. As the duo continue to cultivate, the progress within the Palace Realm started to grow, and more and more colorful sceneries started to appear around the Palace Realm.

    When both of them is hungry, Silvia will dive into the pond to catch a few fishes and shrimps, and then Altima will prepare the Bonfire using Yang Flame together with the dried branches from the Tree of Longevity. Due to the produce from the Pond is always showered with abundant essence, the taste, texture, and spiritual healing is totally over the expectation.

    Enjoying their delicious meals, Altima finally finishes his portion and decided to exit the Palace Realm, and allowing Silvia to continue to cultivate within the Realm.

    Returning to the Cultivation Farm, Altima decided to take a look on the surrounding within his cultivation farm.

    Victor and Vector are still cultivating, as usual, In Altima''s opinion, soon it might be time for him to temporary dispatch both of them to the battlefield to take command and participate in the future war between the Eastern State and the Southern State.

    Currently, both of them are in their Peak Stage Master Practitioner of Zen Tier, and soon they will emerge into Spiritual Tier when the chances and time are right.

    Altima checked on the living condition of the elves and the goblins, and notice both of them could peacefully coordinate with each other, without any misunderstanding in between. Some of the goblins actually propose to the elves and use their body to reproduce, instead of depending on those low birth rate female goblins.

    As the Female elves is no longer to be pregnant frequently and being treated as the production too, this enhance the living society of the Ancient Elves greatly. Currently, except Ta-Ruk whom manage to jump two ranks above his previous level, there is another 10 Heritage Inheritance elves, and each of them is strong and well fed, ready to be dispatch to the real world soon when required.Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform.

    While on the goblin side, plenty wooden building is built, and living within, is a group of goblins infant, young and naughty, they ran around under the supervision of the Elder goblin whom retiring from the mining and working and spending time educating the younger goblins.

    Some female goblin is busy cooking meals for the hard working within the mines, while some of the Berserker Goblins is busy transporting the mined minerals and metals into the Refinery, to be refined as pure Metals.

    "My Lord, I believe you are in a need to use some resources, am I correct ?"

    Gunther appeared out of nowhere, and initiate a conversation with Altima.

    "Yes, I would need plenty of resources, for the improvement of this Spatial Realm, my cultivation, and to get more treasures."

    Altima replied.

    "If in that case, this amount of Pure Arsalite Plate, should be enough for my lord to take out for exchange."

    "Gunther manage to keep this number of metal after he is promoted into the Elder Blacksmith."

    "Because now we are producing good quality and manage to process them efficiently, so no wastage has occurred."

    "My Lord, please take care of yourself too."

    Gunther speaks, and his word makes Altima felt it is worth all his effort in nurturing Gunther, and soon, Mo Yue as well.

    "Where is Mo Yue at the moment ? I believe she required a large amount of Metal for her cultivation and improvement too."

    Altima inquire.

    "My Lord, Mo Yue is totally absorbed into the construction of the Spear we are working hard for you, I believe when that weapon is complete, most probably me and her will increase our rank into Lord Smith Rank soon."

    Gunther replied, and confidently assure Altima that they will rank up as well once the weapon is complete.

    Blacksmith Proficiency.

    Unlike the Concocting proficiency, the Blacksmith Profession grading is based on their capability in forging higher tier treasure and crafts.

    They are categorized into four tiers, from Junior Blacksmith to Elder Blacksmith, Lord Smith and lastly, the Zen Smith. When one blacksmith is strong enough to advance into a higher stage, they will be automatically qualified and receive the blessings, instead of being tested publically.

    Altima receives the Weird looking Spatial Ring from Gunther, and when he look clearly on the design, he remembered that even Yutian Tangfeng and Muyun Tuoba is wearing a similar Spatial Ring, although there is a slightly different in the design.

    This Spatial Ring is more detail and beautifully polished. Compared to the normal Spatial ring that comes with a big piece of Spatial Beads embedded within, this Spatial Ring have a beautiful Carved Layer of Spatial Crystal tempered within, making the Ring seems like Layered with some Briolite, Spatial Crystal and some unknown material.

    Altima withdraws some essence energy and injects it into the ring, and notice there is a well-arranged of Pure Arsalite Plates, Pure Briolite Plates, and some Hardened version of Pure Extract of Arsalite.

    "Thank you, Gunther. This few thousand amount of Arsalite and Briolite Plates and the Pure Extracts could help me by a lot."

    Altima thanked Gunther and decided to store the Ring away.

    "My Lord!"

    Gunther shouted immediately.

    "What''s wrong, Gunther ?"

    Altima is giving Gunther a perplexed look.

    "Why would you say few thousands ?"

    Gunther gave out a weird question to Altima.

    "I only see a total of 3 different stacks of the item, Arsalite, Briolite bars and the Hardened Extracts."

    Altima answered.

    "My Lord, this is a Rank 4 Spatial Ring, called the Spatial Drake Ring. Space is 40 times bigger than the normal Rank 1 Spatial Ring you usually bring back."

    Gunther explained.

    With haste, Altima place a stronger essence energy within the ring and tried to explore the true internal space within this rank 4 spatial ring, and next thing came into his mind, is a total surprised.

    Within the Spatial Ring, there is a total of 3 pyramids, stacked nicely with Pure Arsalite, Briolite and Hardened Extracts.

    "Shit! Gunther, there is around 500,000 Pure Arsalite Plates stacked in a form of pyramids!"

    Altima withdraws his consciousness from the Ring and shocked with the amount of material kept within.

    One should always know, although the metal material is not as pricey as a complete weapon, but depending on the amount, even through quantity, the metal materials could have its price raised into an enormous figure when purchased in a bulk.

    And on top of that, the Plates within is all under the grade of Pure Plates.

    A basic Arsalite Plate is worth 200 Balancing Zen Pill, but a Pure Arsalite Plate is worth 5 times the amount, which means Altima could sell the Pure Arsalite bar for a total of 1,000 Balancing Zen Pills each.

    Within the Rank 4 ring, a total of 700,000 Pure Arsalite Plate is stored, which means after sales, Altima could still pocket a total of 2,800 Raising Zen Pill.

    And do not forget, the Pure Briolite Plates is equally priced, but instead on the Balancing Zen Pills, the Pure Briolite Plates is priced at 1,000 Boosting Zen Pills each. Within the ring, a total of 120,000 plates is arranged together. This means that another total of 240,000 Raising Zen Pills is obtained, upon clean sales.

    Lastly, is the Hardened Pure Extract of Arsalite. In the market price, these Hardened extracts cost around 50,000 Balancing Zen Pills each, so with a total of around 50,000 pieces is kept within the Ring, Altima can expect a total of 10,000 Raising Zen Pill upon sales.

    In a grand total, 252,800 Raising Zen Pills could be gathered, if Altima manages to totally sell everything he has. Added with the total he has in hand, Altima could barely participate in the Auction with a total of 256,660 Raising Zen Pills.

    But in his mind, Altima is planning to do more than that. Although selling everything would qualify him to purchase at least one or two item within the Grand Auction, but what happens after that ?

    "One with Wealth need Sufficient Power to protect himself."

    Although Altima might have the capability to won over a few treasures within the auction. But do he have an assurance that the Wu Di Royal Family is capable of protecting him from people who wish to covet the treasures after the Grand Auction ends ?

    "I will need sufficient strength, in order to place a bid within this Grand Auction!"

    "This is the reason why the Grand Auction will only start after one month, starting from the day the Primordial Ark arrived at the continent."

    "To give the chance to those who wish to participate.

    To allow them to build their strength, before they participate.

    To remind them the risk when Participate.

    And lastly, To protect what they manage to obtain and the end of the participation."

    "If this is the case, instead of keeping this amount of wealth in hand, why not I invest in building up my strength before the day come!"

    "Brother Mobi, let us exchange this amount of treasure, for a better-graded metal for your meal!"

    Altima turned towards Mobi and had him ready his stomach for the upcoming feast of Metals.

 Special Ark - Forgotten History of the Emperor of Benevolence "Zhan Lu"

    Centuries ago, before the World of Rumanian is known to be consisting of a total of sixteen continents, this world, used to be slightly different.

    A total of Eight continent is scattered along this Planes, with few opening portal in the most desolated location, allowing one to enter and challenge the lord of the portal and obtain the inheritance within.

    This story is about a young man, who manage to defy the fate heavens had written for him, and rewrite the content of his fate himself, as he journey across this world, and bringing it into the prosperity in future.

    Chad Elion.

    Sixty years of living within this world of Rumanian, Chad is born within the biggest continent during that time, the Wu Lei Dalu (Five Thunder Continent). Within the Wu Lei Dalu, competition to survive is harsh. The atmosphere within the continent is thick with the stench of blood, due to the killing is happening like a norm practice.

    Chad is born during the period when the Rulers of the Wu Lei Dalu, the Lei Gong Family is toppled. Being able to rule over this continent for a total of 15 years, the Lei Gong family naturally possess much unique strength. But unfortunately for the family, One could not be a king forever. Without the strength to overpower your opponent, a king can be possible to become mere peasants when he is toppled from his seats.

    This is the truth because during the moment Chad is born, the Lei Gong Family is massacred by a group of Dark Martial arts cultivators. With the world is turn to havoc due to the losses of a king, the competition started everywhere. Little tyrants from each city rise and started to build their strength, while some more quiet cultivator decided to be the "fisherman" while waiting for the results of the fight between the young tyrants.

    Due to this reason, Chad is thrown into the battlefield, to fight for his life since young.

    At first, Chad could only kill cultivators that are left half dead, due to heavy injuries from their previous fight. But this isn''t an easy task either.

    An injured tiger is the ruthless and fiercest among all.

    Chad is required to fight for his life, bearing the risk of being injured to the brink of death before he manages to kill the opponent and obtain all the cultivating resources belong to this dead man.

    This kind of life goes along for 10 years, aiding Chad along the way, until he finally manages to break through the border of Warrior practitioner, and enter the Master Practitioner stage.

    As he entered the master practitioner stage, Chad grew even ruthless.

    Instead of only choosing near dead targets to hunt, Chad prefers to hunt silently for healthy cultivators, those who have the look and features of wealth within their body.

    Added with the condition of the continent is within, Chad ruthlessly hunt for cultivators that fall into his range of strength, and with each kill, he impatiently grows stronger, through consuming all the resources he plundered from the dead body.

    In a lucky opportunity, Chad stumbles across the Tomb made by a practitioner of unknown origin and manage to obtain the benefits within. Missing from the Wu Lei Dalu for a period of half year, the continent soon falls into an internal war once again.

    This time, the strongest force from the east, the Liu Clan, and the strongest force from the West, the Yang Clan, finally couldn¡¯t hold their bloodlust any longer and initiate a fight between the two strongest force within the continent.

    The fight last for a total of 10 days, but the winner is yet to be decided, due to the lack of equal opponent to entirely decimate another during the peak of the fight.

    And on this period of time, Chad finally emerge from his disappearance, and easily, dispose of all of the cultivators between the two families, leaving only the eldest child, Liu Can, and Yang Qiang to return to their respective home.

    During his disappearance, Chad actually manages to stumble across a special set of Inheritance, believed to be inherited and blessed by an Immortal to the owner of the tomb.

    This inheritance comes in a set of three pieces of divine equipment.

    The Sword of Benevolence "Zhan Lu" - Godly Artefact of Zen Tier.

    Notes: Black in color, dull and unsharpened edge on both side, and a Sword tip that barely sharp enough to piece through a hide of a demon boar, this sword of benevolence is believed to be sent towards the mortal world, as a pairs of eyes from the god to discern an emperors valor, integrity, and behaviour. If the user has no moral and integrity, the sword would leave him, and the foundation he built will fall apart. Zhan Lu is unparalleled strong, and have no murderous appearance at all, truly worth to be called as a sword of Benevolence.

    Dragon''s Sentinel - Dragon''s Inheritance of Zen Tier.

    Notes: Crafted by the Dragon''s tribe Blacksmith, the Dragon''s Sentinel possess a thick and strong defensive ability, invulnerable to all kind of sharp weapons included Arrows and ballistic weaponry. Wearer must possess a Fair and impartial personality, manage to uphold the righteousness within himself, and selflessness, to be qualified to wear this equipment to its best protection.

    As well as Three different Martial Arts that allows Chad to be blessed with incomparable strength.

    Skill Description: Through Mindless Sutra, one could temper their body without limits. As the cultivator reach a higher Tier of cultivation, the Mindless Sutra will adjust itself to perfectly fits the Cultivator''s need.

    Blessed with this inheritance, Chad supposedly is feared by the world, due to the legacy and treasure he inherit, totally belongs to another stage where others would covet for it without stop.

    But Luck and curse came in two sides of a coin.

    Chad received the blessing, but in the same time, he received a curse.

    Restricted from Killing another single soul, Chad is challenged by cultivators within the continent without any sign to stop. Because he is not allowed to kill, as the term to receive this inheritance, Chad faces numerous challenge. Other cultivators combined their strength to try and defeat Chad, while beauties among the continent shower themselves for Chad''s affection, wishing to be blessed with a single drop from the Moon-Dragon Essence Flask.

    Being loved and hate by the people within the Wu Lei Dalu, Chad eventually got abandoned by the other members of the continent. Forced to leave the Wu Lei Dalu, Chad venture out on his 15th birthday, and without any target, he rides a roughly built raft, got into the sea, and venture without looking back.

    Unknown to people, Chad eventually reaches a nameless continent, where instead of being infested by humans, the continent is infested by numerous amount of gigantic beast.

    Within the Island, Chad is forced to survive under the law of the jungle once again.

    But this time, instead of being restricted, Chad is free from any shackles, as he is allowed to compete with the other beast to obtain territories himself.

    Very soon, Chad built his own little empire within the small continent.

    Within this empire he built, hundreds of family members reside together with him and hunt together in a pack. They shared the resources together, and sleep together, never forget to mention, they cultivate together as well.

    This hundred of members quickly build their strong foundation, while dominating the other areas slowly. In each open area of the continent, will have about tenth of them positioned over there, handling the nest, and making sure their territories is well guarded.

    Why nest ?

    It is because of the hundred members of the family is actually a pack of Crimson King Yin Yang Bear. Each of the Crimson King Yin Yang Bear has a cultivation of peak stage of Master Practitioner upon birth, and as they grow, the Crimson King Yin Yang Bear could get stronger, achieving the stage of peak Spiritual stage easily without any obstacles.

    During the first moment as Chad enter this nameless continent, Chad encountered this young Yin Yang Bear, both sides is cautious towards each other, but before they fight, this bear instead of initiate a fight, leads Chad to another nest of a monster, where they had been injured by the Yin Yang Bear''s parents before death.

    Taking care injured opponent is not difficult, but deciding the worthiness of this action, is what considered by Chad. But after worrying for a moment, the growling sound from both side''s stomach decided that this fight is not for other reason, but to survive!

    Thus, through this encounter, Chad, and the Young Yin Yang Bear finally group together, to become the upcoming overlord only for the sole reason, to survive!

    Cultivate together, the Yin Yang Bear soon receive its enhancement of bloodline, and promote into the rank of Crimson King, while Chad successfully breaks through the Soul Practitioner stage. The pair quickly emerges as the overlord within the continent, ruling over at least few hundred thousands of beast under their wings, ready to be dispatched anytime if required.

    When Chad finally reaches 20 years old, one incident happened to this nameless continent.

    An exploration barge, carrying at least 10,000 practitioners, entered this empire built by Chad and his Crimson King Yin Yang Bear, and instead of peaceful negotiation, they started a fight upon their arrival into this continent!

    Forced to take action, Chad carried his Sword of Benevolence "Zhan Lu" and move towards the ten thousands of practitioners, and stopped them from invading his territories!

    Restricted from killing, Chad was making sure he do not take any life innocently. Only through showcasing his utmost strength, he quickly immobilized the ten thousand practitioners and sent them home directly with a warning that no more mercy will be given if they continue to destroy this continent and its peaceful days.

    But.

    Chad''s heart is too soft.

    Humans heart is originally pure, but after being forced to live in a world full of blood spilling everywhere, Benevolence does not speak louder than any other words. The defeated and injured practitioners return with lies and deceit, causing the surrounding continents and kingdoms to be attracted with the news regarding the fake treasure trove, the immortal inheritance, and as well plenty treasures and resources to be obtained.

    Soon enough, Instead of destroying the intention of other people returning to this nameless continent, Chad''s action finally bring demise to his own empire.

    Hundred thousands of cultivators entered the continent without notice, and as they entered, massacre happens. The amount of Chad''s protector decreases as everyday pass, while he himself is forced to take none of their life due to the restriction of Benevolence.

    Without the capability to resist anymore, Chad and Crimson King quickly subjugated by ten Dao Practitioner of Zen, and their other family is slaughtered.

    Brought back to the attackers original continent, Chad and Crimson King is enslaved and brought back to face the King of the Continent itself, the Mighty Emperor "Kun Lun", of the Primal Chaos Continent (Hun Dun Dalu). During that period of time, Emperor Kun Lun is one of the four heavenly emperors, standing on top of the whole world of Rumanian as one of its sovereigns during his peak of strength.

    In this world of Rumanian, Cultivation differs by stage, Rank as well Tiers.

    Each Tier consists of 8 ranks. Starting from the Zen Tier, the practitioner ranks start from the lowest Early Practitioner to the highest Emperor Practitioner, with 9 Stage in each Rank.

    After ascension from the Zen Tier, one would enter the Kun Tier, totally opening a new range of resources for them to enjoy and use as they would love to. But a Kun Tier cultivators is only barely crawling from the bottom of the Cultivation chain.

    To be categorized as one of the powerhouses that qualified to challenge the Lord of Portals, one needs to ascend above the Kun Tier and entering the Ling Tier cultivation.

    But for Mighty Emperor Kun Lun, who manage to obtained two Inheritance from the Lord of the Portal, his achievement is one stage above the others, where he manage to ascend through the Ling Tier, and breaking through the Wu Tier.

    Facing an emperor of Wu Tier, Chad has no other way but to submit to his might, but instead of applying pressure towards Chad, Emperor Kun Lun walked towards Chad and offer a hand to hold him up.

    Dumbfounded, Chad lifts his hand without any hesitation as if he could trust this man in front of him.

    "What is your name, friend ?"

    "Chad¡­.Elion."

    "Good, Chad, from today, you will follow me. In return, I want you to protect my back."

    "Can you do that ?"

    "I¡­ don¡¯t know.."

    "Be confident. Heir of the (Zhan Lu) is not cowards that going to die because he is worthless."

    "Benevolence is still important, at least in this world we are living."

    Listened to what Emperor Kun Lun says, Chad finally notices why would Emperor Kun Lun stands for someone as low as him.

    "if you are thinking about the sword, then yes. That is another Sword from Immortal Inheritance, the Sword of Sovereigns (Chi Xiao)."

    After this encounter, the name "Chad Elion", slowly grows from a nobody into a soon to be an important person in the world of Rumanian.

    Together, Emperor Kun Lun guides Chad to his current success.

    With his current position and martial arts he inherited, Chad quickly ascends from the peak of Zen Tier and join along with the Kun Tier practitioners while spreading his name throughout the World of Rumanian.

    Bearing the reputation of the most Benevolence Practitioner in the world, Chad venture throughout the 8 continents, and spread his reputation, carrying justice and protecting people whom he should protect throughout his adventure.

    Although there is a total of 4 Wu Tier Emperor within the world, but the emperors did not bother to disturb each other. Perhaps, when one reaches the tier above Kun and Ling tier, the mortal attractions no longer interest them anymore.

    This peacefulness goes along for another 10 years until one new Portal is opened on the North East Sea. As the Portal is opened, a total of 10 million demons quickly invades the World of Rumanian, causing practitioners to cooperate against same enemies.

    At first, a large number of Zen Tier cultivators is sent to participate in the first two battles and returning with a huge victory, the cultivator''s strength quickly gain, allowing many cultivators between Zen Tier to quickly ascend to the Kun Tier.

    But at the third battle, an unexpected loss is seen within the Zen tier cultivators, forcing the Kun Tier practitioner to be required to participate in the battlefield as soon as possible.

    The war last long for a few years, causing the resources within the world is quickly exhausted from the ridiculous consumption, where it contributes to increasing the casualties. Without ingredients to refine the medicines, Cultivators started to lose their track.

    This war lasts for a total of 10 years, and by then, Chad finally reaches his 50th years of age. On this moment, Chad finally ascends from the Kun Tier, and entering the Ling Tier, to be only one tier below Emperor Kun Lun.

    But during this moment, Three extremely strong Demon crossed the portal, and entering the World of Rumanian, and wrecking havoc all around the world.

    Their strength is enormously strong, in which they started to destroy the continents that obtained by the ancestor eon of ages ago. From 8 continent, it becomes destroyed and split into 10 continents in its first year, 13 continents in the 4th year, and 16 continents on the 8th year.

    And soon, the three demons finally attract the sovereign of the World to take action.

    But out of the expectation, during the confrontation, among the 4 Emperor, 1 had been fatally injured, forced to leave the battlefield with life danger throughout his life.

    That Emperor is the one who ruled over the Flame Forest Continent, the Evil God Emperor, Patriarch Fire Cloud.

    Two more years later, Chad finally reaches his sixties.

    Joining along with the other 3 emperors, Chad finally entered the Wu Tier Cultivation and participates in slaying the final Demon that being hunted by the other 3 emperors years back.

    But happiness doesn¡¯t come for long, where the lord of Portal personally came out.

    With the cultivation matchable with a King Practitioner Stage of Wu Tier, he is the worst and strongest opponent so far met by all the other emperors, included Chad.

    Forced to fight with an opponent few Ranks higher than himself, Chad participates in the fight that will decide the fate of the world.

    The fight last long for one year.

    The Lord of the portal is still gaining his advantages in the fight and caused all the other emperor to be exhausted from only holding him within the continent itself.

    But in the final of the battle, Emperor Kun Lun, and Emperor Chad Elion finally decided to take a drastic action.

    Both Emperor spent their final life force, to quickly overpowered the Lord of Portal, and quickly weakened him before any of the other demons could take advantages.

    In the end, the three emperors sacrifice their dearest life, to seal the lord of the portal and destroy him thoroughly.

    "Demon King! This would be the end of all! Let us 3 people accompany you to the hell and stay there for eternity!"

    "As if you guys can stop the Horned Demon Tribe from taking over your world."

    "argh! Is this! You three actually tried to use the force of your eternity to seal me and destroy me ?"

    "How dare you, even if die, I would bring your continent with me together as we die!"

    Finally, the Lord of Portal had no more strength left to resist the life destructing formation set by the 3 Wu Tier cultivator and died with regrets.

    Although the Lord of Portal is finally defeated, but the price of losing a continent due to such war, causing the balance of the world to be disturbed.

    In return of the defeat of the Lord of the portal, the 1th Continent finally came to Rumanian, which is known as the Green Wave Continent.

    But.

    During the death of the Demon King, he howled one last word that giving the others a question.

    "Even if I am dead, but in future, my inheritor will surely destroy you all!"

    "Remember, We are those that came from the El Mist Tribe, the strongest Tribe of Demi-Human in the Portal!"

    Soon, after few more thousands of years, the history quickly rewritten, and the portal too is no longer reachable by anyone else anymore.

 Chapter 88 - Grand Auction of the Primordial Ark (8)

    As the brothers move towards the Primordial Ark entrance once again, Altima noticed slight changes had happened within the Primordial Ark itself.

    A few shape in between of the Ark had moved and forming a new and bigger spaces for the squares to occupied. Some halls started to move and gathered together, placed side by side while the guards and employee that positioned within the floor had significantly increased.

    Proceeding with what he used to do, Altima went over to Elder Wang to exchange for the ingredients and the fruits that he will use to feed Tian.

    As their transaction is over, Altima freely looks around. Scanning at the available Martial arts and other beast trades, Altima notice no additional attraction that manage to keep him at the bay, so he quit his intention of purchasing anything from this places.

    Since he is a Spiritual Practitioner, Altima is qualified to enter one floor higher.

    As he climbs up, Altima is blocked by a piece of Soul Crystal that embedded at the entrance of the upper floor.

    "Proof yourself, to obtain the right to enter the 8th floor of Primordial Ark."

    Reading the notes written on the walls. Altima hesitates a little, but initially, he prepare to give a toss to two Energy ball he condensed, using the Spirit Moon of Yin and Flaming Sun of Yang Technique.

    As the twin Energy ball pass through the gate, it''s absorbed by the gate instantly, and thus the entrance towards the 8th floor is finally opened.

    Entering the first hall, Altima thoroughly explore the internal attractions within, and started to notice the big difference between the available resources and ingredient listed within each parchment and beast skin.

    Bitter Yin Gourd.

    Poisonous Yang Silkworm.

    Spell Silk Death Strings from King Widow Spider.

    Berserker Mandrake formed by Yin Yang Mutation.

    Finely Polished Litrock.

    Quad Refined Corpse Water.

    Worldly Death Essence Seed.

    Demon King Rhinoceros Horn.

    Upon looking at all those valuable materials and ingredient, Altima''s hunger in obtaining the materials for his concoction rise significantly, but within this floor onwards, the amount of exchange is going to be cost a large number of Boosting Zen Pills to some of them, even required to spend some Raising Zen Pill to purchase.

    Altima control himself slightly, and heads towards the Martial Arts and Recipe Hall, and instantly, he notices that the crowd is gathered together, appreciating a special martial scroll that guarded by three Kun Practitioners.

    "What is so special about that scroll ? Three Kun Practitioner is on duty over there just to guard the scroll."

    Altima felt slightly weird, as he slowly heads toward the spot to inspect the scroll.

    "What scroll is this ? Everyone can feel the strong essence undulation released by the scroll, but no explanations are written within the scroll paper."

    "Yeah, will this scroll be the lousy tricks that the Primordial Ark use to con our hard profited resources ?"

    "Hey, people from the Ark, at least explain something about this item before we spend our resources to purchase it."

    The public keep pestering the guards, demanding explanations from the Ark''s management regarding the scrolls before they make the purchase.

    And after a short while, due to the heavy response, an elder descend from a higher floor, and stopped directly beside the scroll and mentioned simple sentences.You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

    "If you can''t see the uniqueness of this scroll, it means that you are not the lucky one to obtain this, regardless of how much money you had in hand."

    "Within the Primordial Ark, only 3 person had the ability to decipher this scroll, but due to the rules, the Primordial Ark decided to put this scroll in the Hall for purchase, and if we could not get any buyer after this stop, it will go to one of the 3 people within our Primordial Ark."

    Ending his word, the Elder leave the Hall without looking back.

    "Aren''t that person, Rank 7 Elder Gu Long from the Hunting Department within the Ascension Immortal Treasure Sect ?"

    "Yeah, I think that¡¯s Elder Gu Long as well."

    "I heard that he had at least 200 Kun Tier disciple under his wings."

    "Yeah, I heard it as well, Elder Gu Long is practically the most popular 7th Rank Elder at the moment. Maybe he will be the one to ascend to a rank in the next Elder Ranking Selection."

    "When will that be ?"

    "If my memories serve correctly, it will be at two more years."

    "By that time, most probably Elder Gu Long''s disciple will be increased to 300 Kun Tier that time."

    "Do you think that training a Kun Tier disciple is like training us Zen practitioners ?"

    Listening to the random discussion the others starting to talk regarding Elder Gu, Altima decided to stop focusing on them, but on the scroll itself.

    As he focuses on the scroll, Altima run a scan towards the material and found out nothing out of ordinary within the scroll, but it seems like a special type of formation is engraved within, making the scroll akin to an empty piece of paper.

    Altima spends another hour staring at the scroll, but to no avail, no differences are noticed between his detailed inspection.

    Soon, Altima randomly heard a few words from the Kun Tier guards that standing close to him.

    "I heard that Elder Yu Shui said that this scroll doesn¡¯t belong to martial arts category."

    "Yeah, even Elder Tie Han say the same thing, but what is so special regarding this scroll ?"

    Listening to their conversation, Altima couldn¡¯t help but asked.

    "Both Sect seniors, can I inquire regarding the field of expertise Elder Yu and Elder Tie you mentioned ?

    Altima asked the two Kun Tier disciple politely.

    "Younger junior, the Elder Yu we mentioned is one of the top 10 Alchemy Master belonged to the sect, while for Elder Tie, he is our Primordial Ark''s Kun Smith."

    One of the Kun Tier Disciple explained vaguely.

    "Perhaps I would require using my concoction method to read the content regarding this scroll."

    Altima pondered for a while, and next, he decided to explicit his specialty.

    Withdrawing his Black Metal Dragon Fire Cauldron, Altima immediately proceeds to heat up the cauldron, preparing to concoct a special type of medicinal pills within the room itself, under the sight of thousands of cultivators between the Warriors Rank to Soul Rank.

    Placing hundreds of Balancing Zen Pills within with a mixture of Demonic Beast Blood, Altima purely refines the drops of blood, allowing a special bloody fragrance to seeps through the cauldron''s cover and slowly filled the air with a blood thick flavor.

    With the Balancing Zen Pill is totally refined, Altima boil the small sphere of blood, and placed the Balancing Zen Pill within to bring it into a melting degree, before he proceed with some ingredient such as some unused Juicy Bloody Fruits and Forest Dew Stone Variant from the Demonic Bridge Ritual collections, and also a little of Pure essence bead from the insects he kept in hand during his younger days.

    The concocted ingredients quickly released thick fumes, and instantly, the scrolls that only showing a piece of blank notes quickly have writings coming out from it unexpectedly.

    Word by words.

    A sentence is quickly formed. Followed by 6 strokes of words.

    Art of Pure Yin Yang Dan Concoction (Yin Yang Shen Dan Lian Fa)

    "It is actually a Concoction recipe!!"

    A practitioner that managed to read the 6 strokes of the word quickly spread the words around, urging all the other cultivators to gathered around the scrolls.

    "Come! This is the total its required, state the price, I will purchase this recipe!"

    A reckless cultivator with the strength of Peak Soul Rank quickly takes the advantage to purchase the scroll.

    "This young master, you are not qualified to purchase this scroll, please step aside."

    The Kun Tier practitioner replied the cultivator and had him move away from getting too close to the scroll.

    "What does that means ? This is a transaction if you don¡¯t sell it, then why you place it within the show window ?"

    The cultivator gets angry and started to shout without bothering the strength gap between him and the Kun Tier guards.

    "As we said, Only the person who is fated to read this can purchase this scroll."

    "This young master, would you like to purchase this scroll ?"

    The Kun Tier guard proceed to Altima''s side and inquiring his decision.

    "I would like to know more regarding the ownership of this Scroll."

    Altima replied.

    "Please come with me, I will bring you to meet our Ark''s Grand Elder."

    The Kun Tier Guard withdraw the scrolls and proceed to lead Altima away from the hall.

    "Damn, what luck that kid have, to meet with the Grand Elder!"

    A cultivator that stands nearby started to complain.

    One need to know, within this Primordial Ark, there is a requirement of one Grand Elder within Rank 1 to 3, and a total of 3 Honoured Elder between Rank 4 to 6, and a total of 300 Elder between Rank 7 to 9, to be positioned within the Ark all the time to assure the business within the Ark runs well.

    To be given a chance to met with a Rank 1 to 3 Grand Elder is one of the highest honor one could achieve, as there is only a total of 24 Grand Elder within the Ascension Immortal Treasure Sect.

 Chapter 89 - Pure YinYang Dan

    Pure YinYang Dan.

    Purest formation of the Yin and Yang Essence. This Dan concoction required no additional ingredient except a highly abundant energy of Yin and Yang Essence location.

    Due to the difficulties of growing new plants that giving out strong and pure Yin and Yang Essence, the production of this YinYang Dan has halted, and slowly forgotten.

    Thousands of years ago, even during the rise of 4 emperors of Wu Tier, the Pure YinYang Dan is treated as a treasure, as the Dan itself contain an enormous amount of Yin and Yang essence that could match a production of an adult Plant.

    But this is only one of the reason why the Pure YinYang Dan is so precious.

    Although the Dan can be used as a replacement of Yin and Yang nourishment.

    Although the Dan can be used as a replacement in Concoction.

    Although the Dan cab is used as an essence in Blacksmithing.

    But nothing could beat the most important reason for this Pure YinYang Dan to be treated as a treasure amongst the treasure.

    Immortality.

    With each Pure YinYang Dan is consume, it automatically blesses the user with an additional life of 1 full year.

    Due to this reason, the cultivators who yet to reach the ascension stage to become immortal could depend on this Dan to prolong their life before the met the end of their old age. Or unable to reach the ascension.

    In this world of Rumanian, a normal person without any cultivation could live a life as long as 80 to 120 years old without any additional tonic or health products. Meanwhile, for a cultivator, the length of lifespan varies along with their cultivation.

    An Early Stage practitioner could live around 200 years without any additional Tonic, while for a Warrior Stage, about 300 to 400 is not impossible. As it goes to Master Stage until Spiritual Stage, the practitioner could literally live for around 600 years to 1000 years without any problem, unless they are born with a certain disease that would take their lives easily.

    But as one reach Soul Stage, a large leap from 1000 to 1500 years is a minimum expectation. As they break into the Dao, the gap goes wider, to around 3000 years at least. While for a King Stage or Emperor Stage, their lifespan is expected to be at least 5,000 years to 7,000 years and above.

    Of course, there will be more than only the Pure YinYang Dan could perform such effect.

    In the world of Rumanian, many special treasures such as the longevity elixir, that rumored to be able to give 10 years of lifespan to a cultivator, to some special medicine that could even provide 100 years, 500 years and 1,000 years respectively.

    But initially, as a primary solution, the Pure YinYang Dan is still the cheapest option to be considered.

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    "Here you go, young Alchemist."

    The Kun Tier Disciple politely speaks to Altima, while showing him the way towards the Grand Elder''s Room.

    "I am still too far from Alchemist, Senior Brothers. I am currently still a Concocting Masters."

    Altima explained to them honestly, as he worried that there will be some slight misunderstanding when they met with the Grand Elder.

    "No worries, by obtaining the ability to decipher the scrolls in front of so many people, your talent in Alchemy would be incomparable in soon future, so calling you an Alchemist would be no over-exaggerated."The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

    One of the Kun Tier Disciple explained.

    "Knock Knock Knock."

    "Come In"

    The door has knocked with a three times rhythm. And very quickly, a reply come from behind the doors.

    As they enter the room, a visible space portal of beautiful Spatial Realm is opened and placed behind the Grand Elder''s piece of wall, and allowing many insects and little animals to fly over the entrance and entered the room.

    "Grand Elder Yu."

    The two Kun Tier Disciple kneeled on one knee and giving an utmost greeting when they met the Grand Elder face to face.

    To the Disciples of the Ascension Immortal Treasure Sect, meeting the Grand Elder is almost like a dream.

    Usually, one would only have a chance to meet the Grand Elder if they were summoned, and even so, the meeting is only through conversation, and not even directly face to face.

    "Grand Elder, Altima El Mist, greets Grand Elder Yu."

    Altima bow as a respect, gaining a slight good impression from Grand Elder directly.

    "Good Seed. Good Seed."

    "I wouldn¡¯t dare to imagine that, Xiao Wang''s (Elder Wang Ming) potential Alchemist would be so young, and even so, he is the one that possesses the qualification to understand this scroll as well."

    "Young one, did you say your family name is El Mist ?"

    Grand Elder speak a few praises towards Altima, but at the end of his lines, he sighed for a little before he awaits Altima''s answer.

    "Yes, Grand Elder. This little one''s family is the El Mist household."

    Altima answered politely.

    "Fate. Young one, make sure you always stand in the righteous path and follow the correct way of your life towards ascension."

    "You will know how deep is the history your family name is held. But this fact most probably is already forgotten, unless you met a few older one like this old man here."

    "So, shall we return to the main topic here ?"

    "The three of you, you may return to your post, I will have Elder Wu to pass you the rewards later."

    Grand Elder Yu finished his word and had the three disciples to leave them alone.

    "Grand Elder. May this young one ask one question ?"

    Altima initiates his conversation first.

    "Go ahead. It''s been too long that I have chances to speak with some good talented peoples."

    The Grand Elder replied.

    "I wish to participate in the Grand Auction, but based on my capability and my background, I believe that I have no qualification to participate."

    "Is there any way to solve this matter and get a permission to enter the Grand Auction ?"

    Altima speaks his mind honestly. Through speaking with the highest authority within the Ark, and a very experienced one among them, Altima has no needs to hide the truth or his intention in front of the Grand Elder.

    "You possess the qualification, but not qualified either. I would answer your question with another question."

    "Why would you need the treasure within the auction ?"

    "Because you have the strength to yield it ?"

    "Because you have the need to obtain it ?"

    "Because you want it ?"

    "Or because you depends on it ?"

    Grand Elder Yu replies Altima question with a series of different possibility and tried to enlighten Altima''s mind, regarding the issue on the Grand Auction.

    "You have neither the qualification to obtain or even to use the king and emperor tier treasures within the Grand Auction, never to mention your background, where even if you manage to purchase, you will bring doom to peoples that closest to you without any reasons."

    "Just remember, the Grand Auction only serve as a medium to unleased and introduce the fact that who is strong, wealth, and what treasure had appeared within the Rumanian. Ownership of a treasure won''t be forever."

    "Just obtain what you have the most desire on, but not what you can''t reach."

    Grand Elder finished his words and allows Altima to slowly digest his explanations.

    Half an hour later.

    "So, had you receive the true meanings behind my words ?"

    Grand Elder Yu questioned.

    "Yes, Grand Elder. Young Altima fully understands this answer senior speaks."

    Altima answered confidently.

    "If in that case, then let us talk regarding the Pure YinYang Dan''s matter."

    "As you know, Pure YinYang Dan is a longevity Treasure, and required a large amount of Yin and Yang Energy to successfully concoct even one."

    "This old one knows that it might be a big task to accomplish, but since you have the qualification to read this scroll, this is obviously going to become yours."

    "As for the payment, we from the Sect won''t demand too much, but a total of 24 Pure YinYang Dan will fit the bills."

    Grand Elder finished his words, letting Altima to quietly consider the exchange and the requested bonds.

    "I will give you one more advantages as an appreciation of your talents."

    "If you manage to concoct at least one Pure YinYang Dan, It would fit the requirement of treasures to enter the Grand Auction of the Primordial Ark. It might be one of the most valuable treasures within the Grand Auction too."

    Grand Elder finished his words.

    "And the reason for this is.."

    Altima wondered about the worthiness of the Dan, and why would it comparable to the other treasures.

    "What can beat the value of a Longevity Enhancement Medicine ?"

    Grand Elder replied, and in his face, he is truly too happy to found out talents that have the possibility to concoct this Pure YinYang Dan.

    "Here, take this Scroll and return to your place to slowly research your concoction."

    "But remember, the moment you leave this room, you will be the world biggest target."

    "If there is fate to meet again, I wish I would have the chances to taste and savor the Pure YinYang Dan you will present to me, and to the other 23 elders."

    "You should leave now."

    Grand Elder ends his words, and slowly, he walked towards the spatial Realm that opened wide within the Room.

    Without looking back, Altima keeps the scroll within his spatial inventory and started to exits the room.

    But before he managed to get out from the Primordial Ark, he is halted and obstructed by not least than 100 Practitioners between Spiritual Stage to King Stage.

    "Kid, if you value your life, better come with me, together with the scroll in your spatial ring."

    "Why talk so much ? Kid, come with me, if you don¡¯t, I will make sure you will be suffering worst than a medicine slave."

    "Kid, I don¡¯t need things like your life. Surrender the scroll, and I will assure you leave this Ark unscathed."

    The people that obstruct Altima''s path, started to throw varieties of demand on Altima.

    "Honored guest, please prevent yourself from fighting and brawling about within the Ark itself. We would request all of you to leave this place if you wish to continue."

    A disciple came over to pass a word, indicating that even the Ascension Immortal Treasure Sect will not take responsibility for the item and the risk upon sold!

    The fact Is known by Altima, which is why he constantly heard the word:

    "One with Wealth need Sufficient Power to protect himself."

    "Seems like I would need to protect myself before I manage to concoct this Pure YinYang Dan!"

 Chapter 90 - Pure YinYang Dan (2)

    Exiting the Primordial Ark, Altima is surrounded by at least 60 Spiritual Stage Cultivators, and all of them is locking him in an inescapable net.

    "Even if I surrender this Scroll, you all won''t be able to decipher it. Are you sure this action of yours is correct ?"

    Altima shouted loudly.

    "What do you think ? Kid, if you surrender nicely, of course, you will be allowed to concoct the Pure YinYang Dan, and we will take good care of you nicely. I promise this as the representative of Violet Serpent Sea Sect."

    The closest Spiritual cultivator speaks, and the others started to say the similar words. Trying to outbid each other.

    "Kid, come with me, at least my Five Poison Sect have some fellow alchemist to accompany you."

    "Haha, who want to follow you, Poison Du ? The Five Poison Sect is well known to kill people after they enjoy the benefits."

    "So what ? It''s not like your Thunder Spear Clan don¡¯t use your slaves and disciple to test your spears martial art."

    As the cultivators started to argue, Altima tried to look for some opening but failed.

    Following for a struggle to obtain a path to escape, the Wu Di Royal Family members quickly arrived and enter the circle, and tried to unlock the formation they use to cover Altima from trying to escape.

    "Earl Altima, His majesty will come in a little while, please hang on!"

    One captain grade Dao Cultivator quickly pass a message, but as the others heard this piece of news, the Dao Practitioner, and King Practitioners quickly take their action.

    "Hmph! Try this for your size!"

    Altima spread his both arm and tossed a batch of Water Dragon Cannon towards the surrounding.

    With an immediate explosion, the different formation strength quickly entraps the 10 cultivators of King Stage, leaving only 1 King Stage and around 5 Dao Stage continue to charge towards him.

    (Yi Jing Classics!)

    (3 Heavenly Mark Destruction Fist!)

    (Twin Yin Yang Technique!)

    Altima immediately launches a few especially strong martial arts to resist the approaching cultivators, although the significant effect is no match with the strength of a King Stage cultivator, but at least Altima could delay his end by struggling as much as he could.

    "Kid, you can''t escape from us!"

    One of the King Stage cultivator increased his speed, and quickly catch up with Altima''s escape route.

    But how would he know, Altima had already prepared a big gift to welcome his initiative.

    (Berserker Strength Armament! Piercing Qi Armament! Paralyzing Strike Armament! Blinding Armament!)

    Altima had all his possible to activate Heritage Laws cast on his body before he continues with his next strike.

    "Do you think as a Spiritual Practitioner, you can try to resist me, a King Stage power ?"

    The cultivator shouted and counter Altima''s attack with a fist full of Yin and Yang Essence.

    (Marquis Fire Cloud Kicking Art!)

    "Bam!"

    "Bam Bam Bammmm!!!!"

    Altima is thrown backward from where the clashing point located, spitting two mouthfuls of blood along his path. Meanwhile, in the same location, the King Stage cultivator realized that his left arm and body is disturbed by the paralysis effect from Altima''s Kick.

    "Damn kid, you are practicing forbidden Black Martial Arts!"

    The King Stage cultivator shouts.

    Unknown to him, the blood he spilled on the hand, slowly absorbed by a small piece of core attached to the elbow of his left arm.

    Altima struggle as he tried to stop himself from getting too far from the clashing point, and very quickly, Altima summon Victor and Vector by opening a gate below the big tree along with his path.

    Charging directly back to their initial clashing point, Altima pushes his strength to his limit, and initiate his (Nine Yang Mortal Skill) in the 5 Yang Stage.

    (Demonic Body Enhancement Art!)

    Altima pushes his body to even higher limits, and with such combination, Altima prepares to send the heaviest blow to the King Stage Cultivator.

    (King of Fist''s Mastery, Chaining Fist!)

    Altima mixes all the available fist art he possesses, and combine them into a single chain attack.

    Attacked by a rain of fist from Altima, the King Stage cultivator dare not to underestimate Altima and his strength, thus he emits a stronger and heavier pressure of Yin and Yang essence from his body, preparing to launch a heavy blow toward Altima.

    "if you feel like so unhappy by submitting to me and my clan, then go and die!"

    "Yin Yang Explosion Fist!"

    "Chances!"

    The King Stage cultivator lay his blow towards Altima''s chest, but to Altima''s expectation, this is the initial motive of him provoking the Cultivator!

    (Medium Circle of Tai Ji!)

    The fist is held and lock nicely in between the Tai Ji Wheel, and within the split second, Victor and Vector appeared from Altima''s side, swinging their hammer with the strength of an early spiritual practitioner as well, and land two undefended blow to his face, and blown him away.Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

    Although this exchange goes to Altima''s advantage, but only by facing the strength of a King Stage directly, Altima is still forced to spit a huge mouthful of blood, only through contact with the Zen Aura alone.

    Victor and Vector return to the spatial realm immediately, while the King Stage cultivator immediately returns to the battle stance as he stands and jumps back to the sky.

    "Kid! You brought this calamity to yourself!"

    "And you bring your calamity by your own too!"

    The cultivator shouted, but never expect to receive a reply from behind him.

    As he turns himself around, a fist comes towards his face and punched him away like a loosened arrow flying out from sight.

    "It''s Yang Wu Di!"

    "He had reached the stage of Early Emperor of Zen Tier!!"

    "Early Emperor Stage, so what ?"

    As the crowd started to lose confident in capturing Altima, suddenly three strong cultivators in the strength between early to middle Emperor Stage cultivators appeared beside Yang Wu Di, and started to fight among each other.

    "Little Brother Altima, quickly escape and return to the Royal Castle!"

    Yang Wu Di shouted, and started to fight with the disadvantage of 3 Vs 1.

    "I''m sorry but you won''t have chances to escape at all."

    Another Emperor Stage cultivator appears within the crowd and stopped Altima from his track.

    Preparing his battle stance, Altima pushes his Spiritual Stage energy to the highest point and preparing to launch a deadly attack to open a path.

    "Little brother, don''t be too rash!"

    Yang Wu Di shouted and get panic, but to no avail, he himself is getting, even more, pressure from facing the 3 matchable competitors In the Emperor Stage.

    Due to the fact that the Primordial Ark and the Grand Auction will be held on the continent, a large number of visitors and cultivators had already resided within the continent''s heart location, while preparing to obtain any treasure at any risk.

    Some less wealthy participants loved to targets people with huge financial funds, while some others prefer to recruit such people, but in a fact that by allowing Altima, such person to have the possibility to concoct a Pure YinYang Dan, is not possible to be allowed to roam freely!

    By allowing Altima to successful concoct the Pure YinYang Dan, this means the elders among each clan, Sect and Alliance will obtain a chance to live further for at least a year to a tenth of years, making the promotions and the handover of matters become delayed.

    For some more quick paced establishments, the younger generation will be always in a rush to fill into the higher ranking and position, so if an elder or patriarch of the clan having a longer lifespan, this will affect the handover of power from a generation to another.

    One more thing to be worried about is the strength gap between the competitors. Wealthier Clan or Sect could utilize the Pure YinYang Dan to allows their elder to have a chance to ascend, thus allowing them to overpowered another sect or clan.

    In the game of financial wealth and business, only the one that has more resources can thrive compared to those purely depend on luck, gain, and enlightenment. Lastly, is the fact that with the appearance of this Pure YinYang Dan, the master alchemist would surely receive a lot of resources as the payment or exchange.

    Through this matter alone, the threat from this certain Alchemist would proof to be dangerous, due to the fact only he could concoct this pill!

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    "Kid, Surrender now."

    The Emperor Stage cultivator immediately suppress Altima and his freedom by exerting the pressure on him.

    "Hold it right there."

    A voice came from above, and immediately, a pressure came down and disable every single person within that area without any right to defy.

    "This is, Peak Emperor of Kun Tier pressure!"

    A nearby Kun Tier cultivator immediately exclaimed.

    Except for Altima, all the other people had been press by the heavy pressure he applied on a large area.

    "I thought that I can come over and give you a surprise by bringing you a new King Beast, but I never imagine that you are going to be looking for trouble next moment."

    "So what''s wrong ?"

    "Did you accidently disturb their elders and cause them to come over and trying to skin you alive ?"

    The Peak Emperor Stage of Kun Tier slowly descending towards Altima''s side along with two different Flying Beast, but the difference between the two beasts is varied largely.

    The smaller one that descends first is a King Tier Flying Beast (Scarlet King Medicinal Cobra), which is in its peak of Dao Tier strength, while another beast is one of the world fiercest beast, the Monarch Beast (the Frost Mountain Monarch Hawk, in its Peak King Stage of Kun Tier).

    On the top of the Frost Mountain Monarch Hawk, stands Elder Ling Hu, the representative from the Spirit Beast Clan from the Flame Forest Continent. Unexpectedly to everyone, Altima actually have the protection and relation with somebody from the third strongest clan from the Flame Forest Continent!

    "Elder Ling Hu, Altima grateful for elder''s assistance and protection."

    Altima quickly expresses his gratitude to Ling Hu.

    "I would never imagine that even the King of Frost Concept, Ling''s family Ling Hu would be here to protect this kid."

    "Yeah, aren''t Ling Hu, the King of Frost Concept, is well known in the world as a rebellious man of their continent ?"

    "Shh. Don¡¯t get too loud. He did kill at least millions of people because they despise his Frost Concept, added he came from the Flame Forest Continent."

    "Elder Ling, this junior have no eyes to look clearly, and actually dare to take advantage of Elder''s friend, please excuse this junior and his mistakes."

    And soon enough, the cultivators started to retreat, leaving only Yang Wu Di, some captains and others from the Southern State, as well as Elder Ling Hu with the two flying beast.

    "Senior Uncle Ling!"

    Yang Wu Di greets Ling Hu warmly, through this view, even the blind could guess the closeness between this two person.

    "Ha Ha Ha! Xiao Yang, I would never imagine that you are going to be the first to breakthrough Emperor Stage. Even the Qin 5 brothers and the Guo''s still yet to achieve this Stage yet."

    "So, Xiao Yang, can Uncle borrow your little brother for a while ?"

    Elder Ling Hu praise Yang Wu Di for his quick achievement to reach the Emperor Stage, as well as going through the main motive he is here today.

    "Uncle, as long my Brother Altima agreed, Little Yang have no objection! After all, even Little Yang and Nan Fang already visit the Spirit Beast Clan and received our personal Early Kun Tier Beast too, years ago."

    "Little brother Altima, if you would listen to big brother''s word. Go to the Flame Forest Continent, and resides within the Spirit Beast Clan for a while."

    "Please bear in mind, currently, you are the most valuable assets that going to be hunted by the whole 16 continents."

    "Although Spirit Beast Clan couldn¡¯t be called as the world strongest clan, but with Uncle Ling Hu, you will see a fast advancement towards your cultivation."

    Yang Wu Di quickly explain and advise Altima to go ahead to the Spirit Beast Clan.

    "Elder Ling Hu.."

    Altima is speechless, but understanding his current position, he has no choices but to follow this arrangement.

    "Then it''s decided, young one, the Grand Auction is nothing, come to the Spirit Beast Clan would be the best suggestion for the meantime."

    "There, this girl here is the Scarlet King Medicinal Cobra. She is gentle and mild tempered, of course, she will only allow her master to ride her instead."

    "The reason I choose this girl here for you is because the Medicinal Cobra type is one of the best when its could be paired with potential Alchemist. Her Sack of Poison recovered daily, allowing collection every single day for a hundred drops of Medicine Poison, which is used by the alchemist to further refine their lower graded medicine pill into a higher grade one."

    "Come, by making a blood oath, you will be bound together with this Scarlet King Medicinal Cobra."

    Elder Ling Hu finish his word and preparing to create a seal between Altima and the Scarlet King.

    But to nobody''s expectation, Tian suddenly pops out from Altima''s Spatial Realm and appeared within everyone''s sight.

    "Gruru ?"

    Tian stares on Altima before he turned towards Monarch Hawk and the Scarlet King.

    Unexpectedly, both Beast fly away without any prior notice, and immediately vanish from everyone''s sight!

    "This! This guy is!!!"

    "Celestial Devourer!"

    Elder Ling Hu shouted! Even himself is fear with this infant dragon.

    "Little Altima, where did you get this guy!"

    Elder Ling Hu shouted.

    "I literally hatch him from an egg (lied!)."

    Altima answered, but it¡¯s a lie, of course.

    "I wonder how would you resides in the Spirit Beast Clan now.."

    Elder Ling Hu really sigh deeply this time.

    "Why would that be, Elder Ling Hu ?"

    Altima questioned.

    "This Celestial Devourer is the arch-nemesis of all other Demonic Beast."

    "He literally swallows them whole to increase his strength. Obtaining one in your side means that you are going to rule the world of Demonic Beast!"

 Chapter 91 - First Step into Flame Forest Continent!

    "Ruled over the world among Demonic Beast ?"

    As Altima heard what Ling Hu says, a very quick vision appears within his mind.

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    Within a forest.

    Thousands of Demonic Werewolf ran out from the forest, charging towards a City and started to climb the city walls.

    A Humongous Colossal Beast stands at the forest outskirt, tossing huge boulders, and immediately scales the city wall apart, allowing younger Demonic Werewolves to enter the city and start to massacre all the peoples they saw.

    The knights and defending cultivator defend the opened hole with no other backup plan at all, but with each werewolf they defeated, two human ends up dead.

    Soon, the city wall is destroyed even more.

    Another huge boulder is thrown with much strength and directly topple the whole city walls.

    Then, a huge and armored Emperor Werewolf stands on top of the Colossal Beast, and start ordering the pack to proceed forwards to the city wall and start massacring the populations within the city.

    Human is tear apart by the strength of the Werewolves Jaw and Claws, while buildings are quickly trashed and destroyed along the path as the colossal beast step deeper into the city.

    Soon the sight goes farther, and in a bird view, thousand of cultivators from a Capital city hidden behind the city under siege, and immediately retaliate, bringing death to many werewolves army that acts as the first vanguard.

    Looking behind, A huge dragon, taller than the Colossal Beast at least twice its size and height, Howl loudly, and emitting a shining brilliant Scarlet light, before a beam is launched out towards the capital city, and destroying it totally.

    with the city is destroyed, a few strong cultivator quickly slay their way along towards the Huge dragon and tried to slay it before it continues to direct anymore beam towards some neighborhood city.

    But as the dragon is dead from the combination attack from the few strong cultivators, an even Titanic Shadow appears behind the forest, and as if the dragon descend from the heavens, the body of the dragon quickly covered the moonlight that shine on the battlefield, and came down a Head of a White Dragon as big as a whole city size.

    "Worthless human.."

    The White Dragon speaks, and very soon, a brilliant ray of light came out from its body.

    And after the shining light disappeared, only a barren land, with no proof of living, dead and nature, is left on that whole continent.

    The Celestial Devourer.

    Varies in many types of height, body size as well as features, but one thing that all the people knows deep within their heart, is the Celestial Devourer bear the features of Holy Light Whitish color throughout its body, with a total of 12 Spikes arranged behind its back.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Altima awakes, and in that short moment, a crazy dream just passes through his mind, giving him a thorough shock while staring back on Tian.

    "Tian, promise me you won''t do anything as long I don¡¯t allow you."

    Altima pulls Tian to his side and had the dragon understand and agree with what he said.

    But instead of answering him, Tian showed Altima the piece of a bead on his forehead and cutely shakes his head for a short while before he slowly vanished back into the spatial realm.

    "Little Altima, make sure you don¡¯t expose the fact you have a Celestial Devourer within you. If not, you will be an even bigger target among the 16 Continents."

    "Perhaps by that time, even the Spirit Beast Clan will take action to kill you and the Celestial Devourer."

    Ling Hu continued, and with everything is settled, Altima finally flew slowly on the shocked and scared Scarlet King, and depart towards the Flame Forest Continent.

    Looking back towards the Wu Di Royal Family and his Manor, Altima understands that to protect what he wish to protect, he would require having, even more, strength, and background.

    "Elder Ling Hu, can I ask you, how come only two days after you asked me for the favor, and you had the Scarlet King readied for me ?"

    "But currently, we are already flying for at least 1 week, and we are yet to see any land or continents along our way."

    Altima felt weird, but since this is his first-time venture to the outside of Blue God Continent, it is normal that he will have too much question in mind.

    "This is because as a Kun Practitioner, we are allowed to utilize an ability called (Back Channel). This ability allows us to open and travel across the spatial distance as we like, providing we have enough capability and essence within the body to be consumed."

    "Since I am a Peak Emperor of Kun Tier, I naturally have few hundred times of capacity within my body to allow myself travel from one continent to another."

    "If normal Kun cultivator wishes to do it, at most they would only be ahead of us by 1 week, and that¡¯s their limit before they need to rest and rejuvenate."

    Elder Ling Hu replies, and thoroughly explain some of the perks of being a Zen Tier, a Kun Tier, and the certain parts need to be the focus.Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

    By the second week they traveled, Altima and Ling Hu finally reach the border of the Flame Forest Continent, where from the Sky, the whole continents are surrounded by Fiery red colored leaves and trees throughout the whole continent.

    "So, little Altima, here we are, at the Flame Forest Continent."

    "For now, we will be entering the Border Capital - Flame Conqueror Capital."

    "Do not worries, by enrolling into the Spirit Beast Clan, you will not be obstructed when you are registering for a Citizenship of the Flame Forest Continent."

    Ling Hu take the lead while explaining the crux of residing within the Flame Forest Continent. Through the detailed explanation from Ling Hu, Altima finally understands how different the Continent works, compared to the Blue God Continent.

    The Flame Forest Continent did not differentiate into few different states lead by their leaders, but instead, the whole continent is ruled by a total of 9 different Kingdom. Arranged from the top strongest to the weakest on the bottom, the 9 different kingdoms constantly warring toward each other, while preserving the basics of how a cultivating kingdom should rule.

    The top 4 Ancient kingdom that rules over the others within the continent is:

    The Violet Garuda Ancient Kingdom. Rumoured to possess a strength of 5 Ling Tier cultivators, and also the location of the Garuda Emperor Clan resides. Flourish and wealthy, this ancient kingdom carries the will of honor and valor wherever they went, and all skirmishes are always announced towards the whole continent before it is carried.

    The Berserker Titan Ancient Kingdom. Exactly truth to its name, this ancient kingdom possess a total of 21 different berserkers guard with strength varied from Ling Tier to Kun Tier. The top class above the top, this Ancient Kingdom is tyrannical and ruthless when provoked.

    The Fire Cloud Ancient Kingdom. Home of the Fire Cloud Sect, This ancient kingdom is rumored to be still possessing their ancestor''s protection, the previous Patriarch Fire Cloud himself. Other than that, the Fire Cloud Sect is one super Sect power rumored to be comparable with the other 3 Super-Sect.

    The Flame Lion Ancient Kingdom. This ancient kingdom is ruled by the enlighten Beast, Monarch Flame Lion, Huo Yun Hu himself. Being the only kingdom that is a unity of enlightening beast and humans, this Ancient Kingdom is mild and peaceful, but strong when forced to bare its fang towards people who dare to take a step towards them.

    And on the side, the 5 weaker kingdoms that were ruled over by the 4 Ancient Kingdom would be:

    The Fire Cauldron Kingdom. A slightly weaker kingdom located in the center south of the Flame Forest Continent, ruled by the Violet Garuda Ancient Kingdom since established and had very much royal family relationship between the two kingdoms.

    Desert Crystal Sand Kingdom. A kingdom that reigned and ruled by the Flame Lion Ancient Kingdom after it had been defeated and conquered. Known as the most rural and weakest kingdom due to the lack of resources could be found within the land itself. This Kingdom overtook the whole western border region of the Flame Forest Continent.

    The Cold Flame Kingdom. Ruled by the Berserker Titan Ancient Kingdom. This kingdom is well known to produce a high number of soldiers and populations. This kingdom is vastly spread across the northern border, and flourish with an abundant amount of resources.

    The Eastern Blazing Kingdom. One of the two kingdoms that protected by the Fire Cloud Ancient Kingdom. Flourish and protected, this kingdom highly supportive towards the Ancient Kingdom and the Sect behind it while receiving numerous benefit from their cooperation.

    The Eastern Blacksmith Kingdom. Highly skillful in their handicraft, this Kingdom is well respected by the other 4 Ancient Kingdoms and the 4 Kingdoms. Although this kingdom is also one of the two kingdoms that protected by the Fire Cloud Ancient Kingdom, the Eastern Blacksmith Kingdom possess their own capability to protect themselves, especially due to one of the Super-Sect within the continent, the Armament Sect, is located here.

    Other than this 9 kingdom, there is one more Super-Sect that exists within this continent.

    The Divinity Clan.

    This clan possesses a history of more than hundred thousands of years, lead to a huge number of clan members that act as the overseer of the Flame Forest Continent.

    Located in the sky itself, the piece of floating mountain is called as the Divinity floating Cloud Mountain, and possess the diameter of around 4 the Ancient Kingdom combined together. Within the Cloud Mountain, bountiful of treasures and ingredients grow throughout the path, as if the Cloud Mountain is a garden of thousand to ten thousand years medicinal ingredients that open for the public to enjoy a walk.

    There is a special peak called the Tournament Peak, which used to be the location for the 4 Ancient Kingdoms and 5 Kingdoms to compete and present their strongest cultivator to be chosen to enter the sect. Within this continent, the requirement to enter either the Garuda Emperor Clan, Fire Cloud Sect, Armament Sect is depending on their yearly selections.

    While for the Divinity Clan, only cultivators that are potentially strong to capture they eyes will obtain the invitation to challenge the Divinity Path Exam, where it consist of the Mind Test, Spirit Test, Martial Test, and finally Fate or Luck Test before they are considered worthy to enter the Divinity Sect.

    Other than this major power within the Continent, there appear a total of 5 Different factions that could not be underestimated as well, such as the Spirit Beast Clan, which have a great ties of relationship with the Flame Lion Ancient Kingdom, the Spirit Beast Clan is titled as the third strongest power after Divinity Clan, Super Sects, due to the fact that they could employ and obtain the assistance of Demonic Beast during fights to obtain a strong winning results.

    The second would be the Flame Conqueror Capitals, which acts as the foremost Border of the continents Ports. Overseeing the import and export of the East, West, South and North Port, the Flame Conqueror Capital managed the whole continent''s financial flow, and able to affect the whole continents material and ingredient price as they wish.

    Thirdly, would be the Armament Sect''s independent power, the Armament Pavilion. Overseeing the whole continents trading and exchange in weaponry and blacksmithing products, the Armament Pavilion staffs and employee are located throughout the whole continent, and even the smallest city will have at least two to three Armament Pavilion.

    One part of the reminder that shouldn¡¯t be forgotten is, "Do Not Mess with People within the Armament Pavilion." is always spread and warned towards all new visitors or residents within the Flame Forest Continent. The reason for this reminder is due to the people within the Armament Pavilion, is the most well equipped and enhanced cultivators that depend on their weaponry and equipment in fights, instead of solely depending on Martial Arts alone.

    The fourth will be the only mercenary alliance within the Flame Forest Continent, the blazing Brigades. Mercenaries in life, they are both greedy but ruthlessly strong. This Alliance is grouped together in a band of 5 million mercenaries scattered within the whole continent, running the dirtiest, despicable, shameless profession through their inherited martial arts that focus more on War, Massacre, and Assassinations.

    Lastly, would be the Divinity Alchemist, which come down towards the continent once every month, providing cultivating medicine and medicinal products for sale to the residents and cultivators within the continent. Eccentric and secluded, the Divinity Alchemist is a group of power that depend on their ability in the concoction to create a name for themselves, instead of participating in any activities.

    One of the reasons why the Divinity Alchemist is holding a faction of strength within the Flame Forest Continent is due to their eccentric and ruthless personality. It is well known to the continent, that due to a certain misunderstanding, the Divinity Alchemist actually take an action to reduce the Desert Crystal Sand Kingdom and its wealth in producing valuable sand crystals, into a worthless barren empty land, unable to produce any materials at all for living.

    Fearing to be given the same possibility towards other kingdoms, the Continent decided to place the Divinity Alchemist in the 5th Faction of strength, that shouldn¡¯t be disturbed and provoked no matter what happened.

    After the registration is over, Ling Hu immediately summoned a different stead, and both of them started to depart, leaving the Flame Conqueror Capitals, and heading towards the Spirit Beast Clan.

 Chapter 92 - First Step into Flame Forest Continent! (2)

    Only through a day of travel on the ground, Altima and Ling Hu finally reach the lands belonged to the Spirit Beast Clan. Entering the huge gate which is guarded by two strong Cultivators of Kun Tier, and with their partner Demonic Beast, which is known as the Spirit Shadow Elder Leopard, the majestic strength of a well-organized clan could be seen without entering the Clan area.

    As Altima pass through the gate, a total of 3 other Elders appeared before his sight and started to greet this young and potential Alchemist cum Martial Cultivator.

    "Fellow Senior brothers, Ling Hu greets you and your time to receive this little child I told you all."

    Elder Ling Hu greets the 3 "Senior Brothers" nicely and politely.

    Only through the sight of the 3 senior elders, Altima could roughly deduce that their strength is comparable, or even a wide gap between them with Elder Ling Hu.

    "What a good seed. Barely 12 years old, but already possessed a total of 3 Spiritual Body parts. If he was to be allowed to mature and groomed, perhaps in another 10 years, he will achieve the stage of our First Core Disciple before he ascends to the age to become an elder."

    Said the first and oldest senior brother "Ling Kun".

    "Even though this kid stopped concocting medicine weeks ago, but his hand still smell strongly with the residue from successfully concocted medicine! This can only proof the effort and the persistence of a person in his path of expertise. I believe if we give him more time in further his potential in concoction, I believe even if we spend all the wealth we have within the Clan would worth it!"

    The second senior brother "Ling Wei" continued.

    "Senior Brother Kun, Senior Brother Wei, and Junior Brother Hu, look at his well-trained flow of Zen Essence and the Yin Yang undulation flows that goes around his body, I believe that this child, spend no less in his Martial art practice as well. Even though he could not be labeled as a pure perfection martial artist, but I would say he won''t be losing too much if he is given more time to refine his martial arts as well."

    The third and last senior brother "Ling Qing" finished it with a praise as well.

    "Senior brothers, you all had been praising this child so much, he must be halfway towards the heaven by now."

    Elder Ling Hu laughed, and together, the 3 senior brothers of his too.

    "Little Altima, Although it had been promised that you would be treated as the most respected guest within the Clan, but I believe that due to the current situation of yours, why don¡¯t we start by allowing you to enrolled within the Clan, as our Core disciple and start cultivating together while you assist us in concocting the two special recipe ?"

    Elder Ling Kun moves towards the main topic.

    "Elder Ling Kun, Little Altima is grateful for all the conveniences that elder wished to bless this junior, but could this junior come out with a suggestion ?"

    Altima speaks direct and honestly towards the four elder, due to the respect and praise he received.

    "Sure, go ahead."

    Elder Ling Kun agrees.

    "This junior would like senior to give no benefits or advantages compared to other outer disciples, and wish to compete fairly with them to obtain the trust and confidence of the clan."

    "Through this way, this junior will be able to face the different hardship accordingly, and finally tempering and refining himself and his mind as he improves."

    "After facing this disastrous chain of events, Junior understand one thing. To survive within this world, not only strength is required. One would need more than strength to move forward, to obtain what he wish and create his own legacy."

    "Previously, it is a rash decision to publically open and decipher the fact that the Pure YinYang Dan is readable and announcing it to the whole Primordial Ark that I am the solely worth person to inherit the scroll."

    "because of this, I bring this calamity to myself, and forced to escape from my continent, and receive protection from Elder''s Clan."

    "This junior wished to be given the chances to temper his mind, his soul, and his cultivation, and obtain a further achievement before allows to roam freely within the world once again."

    "Junior hope Senior will reconsider senior''s decision and put faith in overseeing this junior''s growth!"

    Altima speaks honestly, and wish the elders to agree with his selfish decision.

    "Marvelous!"

    "Just by listening to your words, make me felt like it is worth taking a gamble on placing my hope on you!"

    "Brothers! Shall we make a bet with this young Junior ?"This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

    "Ha Ha, Oldest Senior Brother, your habit comes out immediately, as usual!"

    "Well, we''ll take the risk together, then!"

    The elders started to discuss and replied toward each other, and finally decided to make a bet with Altima.

    "Young Junior, Shall we make a bet ?"

    Senior Elder Ling Kun speaks.

    "Senior Elder, Please tell the requirement."

    Altima instantly replied.

    "Within 1 year, you must be able to achieve the highest record of achieving most contribution points among the outer Disciple, and be promoted into the Inner Disciple."

    "Within 3 years, you must achieve the Strength of at least Peak Dao Practitioner of Zen, and be placed within the Top 10 strongest Disciple within the Inner Disciple ranking."

    "Within 5 years, you must be able to concoct this 2 special concoction the Clan required you to succeed, and also, you must pass the sacred ritual of (Human-Beast Torturing Trail) to ascend into the Core Disciple."

    "and before you turn 20, you must be placed within the Top 10 strongest disciple within the Spirit Beast Clan, and obtain the Spirit Shaking Medallion!"

    "Can you agree with this condition ?"

    Senior Elder Ling Kun states the bets requirement to Altima, and slowly explain how difficult this task would be.

    His first-year task would be to obtain the highest total contribution points, which is obtainable by providing ingredients harvested throughout the continent, hunting the demonic beast, obtaining precious material, or even through concoction or other specific tasks.

    But to complete the task, time is required. Harvesting required luck and knowledge, hunting required strength and abilities, material searching required luck and time, concoction or production even required relevant skills and abilities.

    To divide the time of Cultivation, Martial art practice, and still obtaining the points to exchange for further usage, this would make the disciple to goes crazy with unstoppable pressure. Only through this way, one could refine their mind, and make it strong and firm to face any obstacles in future when they grow stronger.

    And before the third year''s end, Altima would be required to reach the strength of Peak Dao Practitioner of Zen Tier, and to be the top 10 disciples within the Inner disciple ranking.

    Once again, the competition for materials and cultivation resources would be heavily sought after, so internal fight and competition wouldn¡¯t be easy to handle through strength alone.

    Within the Inner Disciple area, one would need to slowly choose his faction, as well as being a leader or a sufficient team player to cooperate in order to successfully obtain the group recognition when performing task and disciple missions.

    While on the term before the 5th year ends, Altima would require to be qualified for the Human-Beast Torturing Trail, where only to be deem worthy, would require one to achieve the highest points in either being top in Leadership, Martial Strength, Special Profession, Skills, or in cultivation.

    And Altima still needs to obtain the time to perfectly concoct the two unknown recipes.

    Only with passing this 2 task, he would finally be able to achieve the right to ascend to the Core Disciple rank and enjoy the privileges of being the Clan future elders and even younger patriarch.

    And within four years after he rises into the Core Disciple rank, he would still need to achieve the task of being placed within the top 10 disciples among all the Core Disciple, and have the right to obtain the Spirit Shaking Medallion!

    One need to know, that this Spirit Shaking Medallion, is a proof of the strength of the Spirit Beast Clan!

    When one medallion holder face with the most dangerous moment, the holder could request aid from the Medallion, to mobilized the whole swarm of Demonic Beast lead by the any of the 108 Leaders of the Demonic Beast Leaders throughout the 16 Continents.

    In example, if the Medallion holder is faced with a life and death situation within the Blue God Continent, through a shake from the Medallion, the continent few main Demonic Leaders, such as the newly crowned Vespa, from the Monarch Stone Wasp Tribe, and even Amarak, the Queen Weevil, would lead their swarm to defend the Medallion holder without any hesitation.

    Which means, Altima have a total of 8 to 9 years to complete this Bet and win against the 4 Elders!

    "Elders, what would I receive if I manage to win this bet, and win against all this challenge ?"

    Altima looked seriously in the elder''s eyes, and wish to take this bet.

    "Ha Ha Ha, not even started, and he is already fired up to win this bet."

    "Young Junior, if you manage to win this bet, I will pass you my inheritance."

    "Same here!"

    "Me too."

    "So that¡¯s a total of 4 different Inheritance, and by winning this bet, you will most likely to become not only the youngest person alive to be crown strongest disciple within the Spirit Beast Clan, you will also be titled as the most Inheritance in your hand cultivator."

    Elder Ling Hu explained.

    "Inheritance ?"

    Altima wondered for a while, and still having many questions running within his mind.

    "We could say, Inheritance comes in many forms, such as weapons, equipment, worn treasures, and even specialized items such as Cauldrons, Dragon Scales, or even organs of certain cultivators."

    Senior Elder Ling Kun explained.

    And with this, the conversation ends, where Altima had been transferred into the main hall of the Outer Clan area.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Alright, Monkeys!"

    "From today onwards, you are the 951st intake of the Outer Disciples for the Spirit Beast Clan."

    "You will be given Ten Boosting Zen Pill, five Raising Zen Pills each week as your cultivating resources."

    "If you would like to obtain more cultivating resources, you have few different choices to choose from."

    "First, hunt your own ingredient, and exchange it with the Medicine Pavilion for the pills."

    "Second, Contribute in the Clan request and task, obtain points and exchange for pills."

    "Third, participate in the daily martial Square, and challenge other Outer Disciple for more pills and resources."

    "Fourth, Rent your own or share a Farming Realm, and start your own ingredient farming and concoction."

    "This is the four basic ideas on how to receive more cultivating resources."

    "Of course, you are allowed to use any other methods to obtain more resources."

    "Next, as you all can see, this is your own Residence Tag. There will be 30 different Residence Building scattered around the Outer Clan, and each tag has their own needle to direct you to your own room."

    "The room will have charges of 5 Contribution Points daily, and to upgrade or get a better room, you would need to pay more."

    "This is the Mission Hall, you can participate, and take the task posted here to accomplish, rewards is based on the type of mission, as well the threat level."

    "This is the Martial Pagoda, within consist of all Martial arts from Spiritual Stage to King Stage Cultivators martial art that is allowed to be learned by the outer Clan disciple."

    "And lastly, this is the Elder''s Hall. Research yourself if you need to know more regarding deeper information as an outer disciple."

    "That¡¯s it for today, The Outer Disciple Ranking Placement would be conducted at the end of the month."

    With this introduction reach its end, Altima moves accordingly to his arranged residence and started his first day as an outer Disciple of Spirit Beast Clan.

 Chapter 93 - First Step into Flame Forest Continent! (3)

    "Fellow brothers, I am Wu Chung, please guide me along the way."

    "Fellow brothers, I am Hong Ling, please to meet you all."

    "I am Altima, nice to meet you all."

    Altima busy introducing himself to other fellow brothers that stayed within the same building, while receiving some introductions from the others. Within this residence building they are assigned into, came in a total of 5 floors, and each floor consist a total of 20 rooms.

    Within this Clan accommodation, the gender difference doesn¡¯t make too much issue, where male and female are assigned altogether within few buildings. Although some matured contents issue does happen around the building, or even directly within their room itself, but from the Clan''s point of view, they don''t need to take action towards such relationship matters.

    But for Altima, what is most important would be the time he would spend in cultivation!

    Returning to his room, Altima unpack all the basic requirements that he would use daily, such as the Outer disciple uniform, the medicine box, Tea brewer that comes with well the tea cups, and other things such as the blankets, pillows and most importantly, the Yin Marrow Plant and the Yang Vein Shoots.

    With his room is nicely unpacked and ready to lived in, Altima proceeds to enter his Private Cultivation Farm, and check on the available materials he could concoct before leaving.

    After fully completing all the available task in hand, Altima finally entered his Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace and started to cultivate within.

    From this moment, Altima''s cultivation steps is always going to be as listed below:

    Refine Extreme Yin and Yang Extract until completion.

    Enter the Inner Palace, and consume the extract pills and start refining the essence and temper the Inner Palace to a higher level.

    Practice martial arts upon refining steps is complete.

    Handle Tian''s matter.

    Exit the Realm, and continue the life as the usual disciple within the clan, Altima went over to the Mission Hall, and participate along with the other clan disciple to choose a certain mission to complete.

    Due to the required expenses of using the room is 5 contribution points daily, All outer disciple is required to participate in at least one easiest mission daily to ensure they earn enough for their accommodation expenses. Never to mention, the foods, cultivating room, and other specific places such as the martial pagoda, martial square, all required one to pay in the form of contribution points.

    Altima quickly runs through the mission board, starting from the lower mission to the higher rank mission.

    Within the Mission Hall, even participating in mission required one to have a certain contribution point as the proof to participate in higher ranked mission.

    First Board, would be the Lowest Rank Mission. To participate in completing this mission, one does not need to have any contribution points, but depending on the task, one might need to spend a long hour to complete the mission.

    Lowest Mission

    Low Mission

    Contribution Reward: 50 Points upon successful hunt. A minimum of 10 bottles of Volatile Blood and 20 pieces of Completely intact Tusk is required upon handling over the completed task.

    Overlooking the numerous number of request among the board, some of the requests even included the task of cleaning and repairing the Clan building and assisting in helping elders in their daily request.

    Altima run through a few task and finally decided to select the Lowest Mission - Gathering Arsalite Metals and also the Low Mission - Concocting Medicinal Pills. For him, currently this two would be the best and advisable task for him to focus in, due to the profession in his concocting and also the need to exchange for other metal products.

    Heading first toward the Blacksmithing Department, Altima directly hands over a total of 5 pieces of Pure Arsalite Plate, which is refined and kept within the Grade 4 Spatial ring given by Gunther. Currently, Altima has an abundant amount of Raising Zen Pills within his inventory, but wealth shouldn¡¯t be shown before he knows what kind of peoples is gathered within the Outer Clan.

    In exchange for the 5 piece of Pure Arsalite Plate, Altima is surprised that the Blacksmith assistant within the Forge does not seem to be shocked with the amount of Plate he is given.

    "5 Piece of Pure Arsalite Plates, worth 5,000 Ingots each, so in total, you had contributed a total of 25,000 Ingots to the blacksmithing Department."

    The Assistant calculate the total amount of the contribution points after conversion, and with a tap of the Blacksmithing Department Medallion, Altima''s personal Outer Clan Medallion is charged with a total of 2,500 Contribution points within.

    "Junior brother, if you have more, do not hesitate to turn it into the Blacksmithing Department. Currently, the Sect have a huge demand of Arsalite due to the increasing needs of crafting Beast Formation Cages."

    The Assistant speaks and informs Altima on the latest news before he proceeds to continue his task.

    As the first mission is complete, Altima proceeds to the Medicinal Department next. Entering the Department, Altima provides the proof of accepting the Concocting Assistant task, so very quickly, he is arranged to a senior Alchemist within the Department to assist in the concoction of Demon Strengthening Pellet.

    Although Altima has the same concoction recipe, but throughout his concocting experience, due to the lack of Demonic beast pet within his side, Altima have no concern related to concoct such a pill to use.

    But currently, Altima is the owner of the Scarlet King Medicinal Cobra. No matter how he would need to have this recipe in his list because this would help in further the cultivation of his Pet.

    Of course, as Altima is only a new Outer Clan Disciple, concocting directly as he entered the Medicinal Department is totally out of consideration. One need to have sufficient points to be allowed to participate deeper and explore to a more variety of options before he is allowed to participate in further contributing works.

    "Junior, this senior name is Pang Yan."

    "I am one of the 5 Concocting Master within this Department, so I hope you could assist me nicely, and learn all the possible technique, so you could cultivate and receive points more quickly as well."

    "Do you have experience in concocting this Medicinal Pellet before ?"

    The way Pang Yan speaks is pretty comfortable to Altima, and with the similar amount of respect, Altima replied him.

    "Senior Pang, Altima have no experience in concocting this certain medicinal pellet before, but I have plenty of experience in concocting. I hope Senior Pang could direct this junior a little."

    "Great, if in that case, let us proceed with preparations and start concocting quickly, as the target of 50,000 Pellets in a week is almost here."

    "I can see that you have more experience in sorting the medicinal ingredients, and preparing the concoction, hopefully, this time no disastrous event happened to like the few last assistant."

    Pang Yan speak nonstop, and when he start touching the ingredients, his playful appearance changed immediately, and become as serious as how a cultivator trying to break through his next stage.

    The two of them quickly run through the raw ingredients, and refine all possible extracts before Altima awaits Pang Yan''s instruction. After all, Pang Yan is the main concocting Master in this procedure, so Altima should follow his arrangement, wherein their next step, both of them started to channel their Yin and Yang essence toward the Cauldron and allows the cauldron to be heated before they started with the concoction.

    "Altima, add in the Pure Insect Essence Bead."

    "Now! The Demonic Beast Blood and the Mandrake."

    "Adjust the temperature while I slowly add the other Demonic Beast droppings."

    "Altima, place the Demonite Stone into the cauldron and now let us refine the ingredient and form the Pellet."

    After a total of 6 hours of concocting, the total of 5,000 Pellet is finally completed.

    The fragrant quickly escape from the opening gap within the cauldron, and enveloping the whole Concoction room, making everyone within the Medicinal Hall surprised with the results.

    Inspecting all the medicinal pellet, Pang Yan noticed that although all of the medicine is still within their Early Medicinal Grade, but all of them are in the top condition, which is on par with the effect close to Late Medicinal Grade products.

    Happy with the results, Pang Yan specifically request that Altima will be helping him again for his next upcoming task again, and hand over a total of 5,000 Contribution points to Altima, before he allows Altima to return to his quarters for a rest.

    "Pang Yan, what do you think about that kid''s skill ?"

    A nearby Concocting Master inquire about Altima''s skill.

    "Truly up to his fame. Now I understand why Elder Ling Hu wants me to cooperate with him in the matters of concoction. If we could understand each other better, In the coming few years, we would be able to concoct this specifically retrieve recipe that will allow our tamed beast to increase their bloodline strength drastically."

    Pang Yan replied. From the way he talked, it is easily noticeable that he holds quite a position within the Medicinal Hall in the outer Clan district.

    As for Altima, for the first day, he retrieves quite a great haul to obtain a total of 7,500 Contribution Points in one go. Although he has a slight urge to continue doing the same task and obtain more points, Altima need to plan meticulously, as it should not an issue for him to obtain a huge number of Points during his first day as the Outer Clan Disciple.

    "Blinngg."

    The medallion on his waist glows for a moment, and through the Bead embedded in the middle of the medallion, and a few strokes of words appears within.

    "Urgent Deployment!"

    "All Clan Disciple is required to report to the Profound Volcanic Mountain Range to subdue to incoming Demonic Imps Waves."

    "Failure of reporting will results in a deduction of 100 Contribution points, and restriction in only Lowest Tier Task for the next week."

    The Notice of Summon glows for a while, and as the bead missing its brilliance, Altima''s door has knocked from the outside, and a loud voice came in from the outside.

    "Brother Altima, I am Wu Chung!"

    "Did you get the same summon as well ? Let us go to the Profound Volcanic Mountain Range together!"

    Altima came out from the room, prepared and as they both rush towards the direction lead by the other senior disciple, Altima turned towards Wu Chung and inquire.

    "Brother Wu, do you know why Is there sudden summon like this ?"

    "I''m not so sure myself, but from what I heard from my senior brother within the Inner Clan, its seems like this kind of summons happened very often, almost once to twice a week."

    "And from my information, this kind of summons greatly enhance the contribution points a disciple could get. We can help reducing the threat from the Demonic Beast wave, as well as reducing the chances of them leading the beast to destroy the Kingdom."

    "But we can stop dreaming about getting the loots. Did you see a group of professional Porters behind us ?"

    "They are the special dismembering team from the Armament Sect. in exchange of their collection assistance, the Armament Sect will provide us with Weapons, Treasures and any equivalent value treasures depending on our contributions."

    "Look, we are almost there!"

    Wu Chung explained and soon pointed at the view of a total of 6 Mountain Peak, with 3 of them bursting with fiery red Lava flowing from the peak, and another 3 Peak seems to be spewing unlimited amount of Volcanic Ash, making the mountain peak seems to be covered heavily with Volcanic Ashes.

    Current Contribution Points: 7,500

 Chapter 94 - Profound Volcanic Mountain Range!

    Reaching the meeting points close to the Mountain Range, a total of 3 different group of practitioners could be seen within the gathering area.

    Flame Conqueror Capitals.

    Blazing Brigade.

    And the Spirit Beast Clan.

    "This time seems to be pretty serious."

    Said one Senior Disciple of Spirit Beast Clan, and through his uniform, it clearly indicates that he is one of the Inner Disciples.

    "We have assistance from the Armament Pavilion last time, but this time, the Pavilion members aren''t appearing at all, does that means that the peoples from the Pavilion won''t be participate in this hunt ?"

    Another Inner Disciple speaks, but before the first disciple could reply, a representative started to speak towards the crowd.

    "I am Elder Boulder from the Flame Conqueror Capitals, and this time, I will be leading the team of 3 power to hunt and destroy the Broodling Tree within the Profound Volcanic Mountain Range."

    "Together, I hope we can place aside our hunger for revenge, or competing among sect and clans, but assist each other in making this hunt a success."

    "This time, through some rough inspection, the Volcanic Mountain Range is reported to be spewing around 9 Broodling Trees, which means, a total of at least 900,000 Demonic Imps is expected."

    "Remember, the Demonic Imps threat level varies from the sizes of their horn above their ears."

    "If you met with one that has horn less than a size of a palm, you are free to confront it and eliminate it, but if you met any of them with Spiral Horn, leave immediately and inform the Elders scattered around the mountain range!"

    "Listen to me, DO NOT CONFRONT THE SPIRAL HORNED DEMONIC IMPS!"

    "If all of you are ready for your deployment, you may start now!"

    The elder finish his words, and next, the illusion gate is opened by the gate keeper of the mountain outskirts, and thousands of practitioner storm through the gate, wielding their weapons and treasures to be activated immediately.

    "Brother Wu Chung, do you know why we are not supposed to confront the Spiral Horned Demonic Imp ?"

    Altima recently located within the continent, so he has no knowledge regarding the demonic Imp yet.

    "Brother Altima, the Spiral Horned Demonic Imp strength varied between 5th Stage of Emperor Zen Stage to 5th Stage of Warrior Kun Stage. They are the most tricky and ruthless when we are in our hunting season."

    Wu Chung explained. Although their moving speed is neither fast or slow, but very quickly, they started to separate into bigger distance within the forest at the bottom of the Volcanic Mountain Range, and soon, an army of Demonic Imps started to appear from the bushes, and started to get aggressive with fellow disciples beside them.

    "The Demonic Imps is appearing, everyone In your battle stance now!"

    Shouted one disciple from the Blazing Brigade.

    In that instant, swarms of Demonic Imp leap out from the low bushes and reveal their sheer amount to pressure all the cultivators around Altima''s side.

    "Quickly retaliate, and do not allow all of them to surround us!"

    "Younger generation disciple, do not use any Yang Flame technique on the Demonic Imps, the will grow stronger with more external flame energy."

    With the seniors advise, the whole group of cultivator started the assault, and quickly destroy the single wave of offensive attack.

    "Disperse!"

    With a word from the senior disciple, the group of cultivators quickly disperse and goes accordingly to their own way, killing and destroying the Demonic Imps along their way.

    (Yin Essence Bone Corroding Claw!)

    Altima applies extremely strong Yin Essence Energy on both of his palms, and with a clawing form, he quickly slays the Demonic Imps within his path. Unknowingly to him, with each Demonic Imps he slays, a dim light slowly enter the Disciple Medallion and increase the total points within the medallion secretly.

    "Skree!!!"

    A much more colossal Demonic Imp appeared in front of Altima out of sudden and started to attack Altima.

    "Spirit Moon of Yin Technique!"

    Altima retaliates, throwing the claw strike from the Demonic Imp towards the ground before he continued with a Wu Di Long Fist.

    As he turns his body around, Altima prepares a Small Wheel of Tai Ji, and prepare to turn it aggressively to create a rounded sawblade, and tried to chop the head of the Demonic Imp without any chances for it to retaliate.

    But unexpectedly for Altima, the Demonic Imp quickly retreat from its initial position, before it stands up tall and starting to spew Flaming Lava from its mouth towards Altima.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

    Forced to retreat, Altima place both hand together to create a double layered Medium Wheel of Tai Ji, and defend the incoming Lava strike, before he retreated slowly without any injuries.

    "My Lord!"

    Mo Yue''s voice came out within Altima''s head out of sudden.

    "My lord, that¡¯s a Demonic Imp! You can''t fight with it barehanded!"

    "Why ?"

    "The Demonic Imps is born from the Broodling Tree, which is thick and enveloped by Yang Ashes Poison!"

    "Once you are infected, your flow of Yang Essence will be disrupted and stuck, causing the Yang Essence to burn and corroding the body of the practitioner as he tried to utilize the Yang Essence within his body."

    Hearing the advice from Mo Yue, Altima immediately retreat from confronting the Demonic Imp but toss a few Water Dragon Cannon to lock the Imp from moving around.

    Turning his facing, Altima noticed that few of his fellow human companion is affected by the Yang Ashes Poison, and starting to crawl on the ground from pain due to the corroding effect from the poison.

    "Guys! Stop channeling your Yang Essence and quickly meditate yourself!"

    Altima quickly advise the others to stop utilizing their Yang Essence, but unfortunately its too late, three among seven of them had already started to lose their breath, and very quickly, their whole body is out of control and slowly turning into Magma rocks, and started to leak numerous amount of Yang Essence around their veins.

    As the dead cultivators started to deform into a shape of magma rocks, the Demonic Imps started to get cheerful and crazy, as they storm towards the body and started to consume the remains. Few another disciple manages to stop activating their Yang Essence, thus manage to preserve their life for a short period.

    But without the ability to recover, very easily, three more of the disciple end up being the feast by the Demonic Imp raw and "Uncooked".

    And finally, the last disciple tried to retaliate while looking on a way to escape, but before he manages to move even one more step, a Sturdy built Demonic Imp appeared behind and grab on his leg, pulling him upside down before opening its jaw and devour half of the body of the disciple.

    "Shit, it¡¯s a Spiral Horned Demonic Imp!"

    Without bothering about looking further, Altima immediately escapes from the location without keeping any hidden trump cards within.

    But, Unfortunately, the Spiral Horned Demonic Imp noticed Altima''s escape, and make a chase towards his escape route as well!

    "This is bad luck, I would never imagine that although I manage to escape from being infected by the Poison, I end up meeting up with a Spiral Horned Demonic Imp. Does this means that the Broodling Tree is just nearby this area ?"

    Altima charges his Spiritual Stage strength to the limit and withdrawing two pieces of Water Dragon Cannon, Altima tosses a piece of the weapon towards the charging Spiral Horn Demonic Imp, while another piece of the weapon towards the entrance he recently came from.

    "My lord, take this weapon, we finally completed it!"

    Mo Yue and Gunther quickly speak within his head, and with some reaction within the private cultivation farm, Altima withdraws the weapon within the Cultivation Farm.

    The weapon came into his hand, and from a look at its first appearance, Altima is full of questions.

    "Why the hell is my spear look like a coffin box ?"

    "Gunther, Mo Yue, explain a little to me why is this weapon is so weird ?"

    Altima stunned for a while before he seriously looks at the weapon. Within the whole piece of weapon, Altima notice a total of 8 pieces of plates covering the whole body, making the weapon seems like a seal with many crude looking marks lined along, and thoroughly wrap the weapon altogether.

    "My lord, you need to channel your energy into the weapon to unlock the seal, and uncover the potential within this weapon to fully claim ownership of the weapon."

    "This is a Five-time Refined Weapon with a Tool Soul Crystal-infused within."

    "My Lord, activate it, and let us see the full strength in this Five-time Refined weapon."

    Gunther and Mo Yue urge Altima to quickly activate it, and from the side where the water dragon cannon recently exploded, a fiery shadow slowly emerge within the smokes, and moving slowly from the clump of smokes.

    "Argh! Let''s do it!"

    Holding the weapon with both hands, Altima pushes his strength to his limit, allowing all his Zen Essence energy to be infused into the weapon, allowing the weapon to emit a special glow throughout the body.

    Soon, the seal started to have a slight reaction, where a total of 108 different words started to arranged into a circle of profound seal, and unlock the inner part of the weapon,

    Next, the Zen Essence energy quickly wrapped along the spear tip, the spear''s body and the spears rear pommel, and thoroughly refine it, allowing the spear to shine with a violet hue all over.

    Finally, the Zen energy refine the whole weapon, making the Tool Soul within activated, and finally willing to remove all its shells and reveal its true appearance!

    "Zwinng!"

    Four pieces of the platings that covering the frontal section of the spear blasted out towards the Spiral Horned Demonic Imp, thoroughly injured and pushed the beast backward like a loose arrow.

    Another 4 more piece of platings is blasted out towards another side, very quickly, a quadruple explosion could be heard from the impact between the ground and the plating.

    The shining violet light finally dimmed, only flashing in the middle of the spear, two words are etched on the middle of the spear, written as "Meng Jiang Qiang".

    Ferocious General "Meng Jiang" Protector Spear - Early Zen Tier Treasure

    Description: Created by a combination of Goblin and Human Blacksmith Elder, A transcendence weapon that bears an appearance of 6 Feet and 6 inches long, Crystal refined Violet Tip and a sturdier than any Mace and Hammer''s Pommel, and a total of 5 pieces of Spatial formed beads on the middle of the spear.

    Meng Jiang Spear came with 5 Special features and required to be blood bond to fully unleash its capability. The spear not only able to store various special weapon, medicine, and important treasure within, it could even absorb and amplify the Zen, Yin and Yang essence into more condensed and pure energy for usage.

    The spear could even reach the form of Energized, which release the limitation border and further enhance the capability of the owner and weapon, and lastly, the Tool Soul Release, but the form after released is still unknown yet.

    Special Note: All Zen Tier Treasure could be upgraded.(Early - Low - Middle - High - Peak - Earth - Heaven - Mortal - Immortal)

    "How strong would this spear be ?"

    Altima questioned himself, as the 3 elder team finally show up and quickly charge over to subdue the Spiral Horned Demonic Imp.

    "Child! Don¡¯t daydream over there! Quickly come and help us clear the smaller Demonic Imps around so we could charge over the Spiral Horned Demonic Imp immediately."

    One of the elders shouted, bringing Altima back to his sense.

    Without waiting for his next instruction, Altima channel a surge of Yin energy into Meng Jiang Qiang, and move as fast as he could towards the crowd of Demonic Imps gathered before the elders.

    "Yuan Wu Spear of Rain Bursting Halls!"

    Altima charge past the few elders, taking an initiative to slay all the Demonic Imps and open a path for the elders.

    But unknowingly to him, this cause everyone to have a speechless reaction towards his attack.

    Instead of raining arrows, Altima causes a rain of spears, utterly defeating all Demonic Imps surrounding them, including injuring the Spiral Horned Demonic Imp into a sorry condition that it would be begging to be killed instead.

    "That''s an Early Zen Tier Treasure!"

    Said an elder, who finally noticed the weapon Altima is holding.

 Chapter 95 - Profound Volcanic Mountain Range! (2)

    Without any other words needed, the elders and Altima quickly assist each other in killing off all the leftover Demonic Imps surrounding them, and with the combination strength of the three elders, The first Broodling Tree was quickly destroyed.

    The Broodling Tree is carrying a heavy stench of blood while surrounding the tree, a large number of soft shells, similar to an egg is seen scattered all around the ground, indicating that the tree had recently given birth to many Demonic Imps a while ago.

    But luckily, with the combined strength of the three elders and Altima, this threat could be controlled earlier before it gone worst. As the elders leave to another spot that seems to have a big commotion as well, one of the elders tried to give Altima some advice.

    "Child, Without sufficient strength, do not show your wealth to the public, make sure you remember this."

    This Elder kindly advice Altima regarding on his rashness by bringing out an Early Zen Tier Treasure. Although the elder has no intention to "Owned" this Zen treasure from Altima, but this doesn¡¯t mean that other elders or people who seen it will have the same thinking.

    Without any additional words to speak about, the Elder leave Altima alone on the spot, and allow him to slowly proceed deeper within the forest for the subjugating mission. In about 10 hours later, the mission is finally complete, where all the disciple is summoned back to the bottom of the mountain range entrance.

    As the disciple gathered, a significant amount of losses is so noticeable, that not even one-third of the disciple is left within the gathering point. Altima makes a few search for the previous two Senior Disciple as well, and notice that even that two senior disciples is lost from their sight as well assumed to be dead from participation.

    Soon, the Elder started to speaks, and brief the other disciple one more time before everyone is allowed to leave.

    "This time, our casualties is huge."

    "In total, 11 Spiral Horned Demonic Imp appears within this eruption, and among one of the Broodling tree, we found out a new type of Demonic Imp as well, This Imp possessed a strength of at least Emperor Stage cultivation, and along in its body, a more potent Yang Ashes Poison is founded."

    "The Flame Conqueror Capitals and the Armament Sect had decided that we are going to provide sufficient compensation towards the Spirit Beast Clan on their casualties, and we will be providing the antidote to counter the Yang Ashes Poison to everyone who participates within this mission."

    "That is all for this mission, you may be released and return to your respective school now."

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On that night itself, the accommodation started to felt even lonelier.

    In that building resides by Altima and around 200 other disciples, only 60 disciples is seen still residing within this building.

    Few other disciple gathered together and started a discussion, and due to the huge casualties happen on this mission, most of them are demotivated and felt like leaving the Spirit Beast Clan due to the risk of death, and because the irresponsible action is taken from the three elders.

    "This is not the way we are promised."

    "Yes, although participating and completing the mission is important, but what is more important than protecting their Disciple''s lives."

    "This time is too much, who knows when Is the next time it is our turn to be the sacrifice lamb instead."

    "Yeah! I literally looking at my other fellow disciple infected by the Yang Ashes Poison, and seeing him died without any chances to run."

    "I am looking at two senior disciples, got eaten directly and all his brain juice is splattered around everywhere. I don''t think I can eat any meals from now on until I can get over it."

    The disciples that gathered started to speak more and more, due to the shock from participation on the Urgent Deployment. Soon, few disciple decided to pack their belongings and giving up from being a Clan disciple, and head towards the Elder hall to request themselves to be sacked and released from being an outer clan disciple.

    If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

    "Brother Altima, even you can''t rest nicely tonight ?"

    Wu Chung came out to take in some fresh air as well.

    "No, it is not like this. I am looking at the other fellow brothers and sisters."

    Altima replied.

    "Ah, them. They are slightly too pampered. Joining the Clan doesn¡¯t mean you are protected from everything, but of course, one need to be exposed to certain danger, and only by that way you would have the motivation to improve. I believe that none of the Elder wished that such huge casualties happened to our disciples."

    Wu Chung muttered, and followed by Altima as well.

    "Brother Wu Chung, I have a suggestion for our next deployment, if that do happen."

    "Brother Altima, please talk. Although this is the first time we actually speak much more towards each other, but I felt like if I am with brother Altima, I will have no regrets to allow a person like you standing at my back."

    Wu Chung replied.

    "Such Deployment wouldn¡¯t be a one time off, I would expect it to come at least few more times. From what the elders say after the mission is over, he said that the disciple will get the compensation in a form of Antidote, to recover from the poison."

    "If there is an antidote, why aren''t its distributed before the mission started ?"

    Altima brings out a few variable questions and started to ponder the answer together with Wu Chung.

    And slowly, a few more other fellow brothers and sisters started to come closer to Altima, as they continue with their discussion. The discussion continued along for 5 hours, in the first hour, a total of 20 more disciples join them in the discussion, but a few hours later, the twenty plus disciple, started to get lesser and lesser, and until they finally stopped their discussion, only 6 of them left.

    Except for Altima and Wu Chung, the another four-person is:

    Shi-Wen Qing. A female in her 13th age, a cultivator in Peak Master Stage of Zen Tier. Wen Qing is brave and full of justice in her head, and always charge first before thinking.

    Qing Yi. Another female in her 14th age, a peak cultivator of Master Stage of Zen Tier. Qing Yi is quiet and always full of the brain instead of brawn. Tactical and calm, she shows a slight leadership quality during the period of deployment by saving many younger disciple from infected by the Yang Ashes Poison.

    Gu Pang. A male cultivator in his 14th age. Gu Pang is one of the bigger senior brother, other than Wu Chung within the building, possessing a strength of Early Spiritual Stage of Zen Tier. During the deployment, in order to make sure he could save as many brothers as he could, he almost got infected by the Yang Ashes Poison. Gu Pang inherits a pair of Thunder Bell Hammer from his parents before they deceased.

    Fang Mu. Youngest among the 6 of them, Fang Mu is only 10 this year, possessing the strength of only Early Master Stage of Zen Tier. Contributed the less between all of them, but Fang Mu skill is greatly excel in taming the spiritual beast, during the period of deployment, Fang Mu manage to assist his mates in recognizing the action and the direction the Demonic Imps is gathering around, allowing the hunting of the group is easier.

    "Brother Altima, can we appoint you as the leader of this group ?"

    "Yes! Brother Altima, I can see that you are the one with most experience in fighting and leading a team."

    "Yes! Plus you are a great Alchemist too, can you lead us ?"

    Shi-Wen Qing, Qing Yi and Fang Mu immediately suggest Altima be the leader among them, while in Wu Chung and Gu Pang''s eyes, they already decided that they will follow Altima in his way because Altima is the most knowledgeable among all of them.

    "I won''t say no, but I will have a few request too, let us agree with each other before we decided on who will take the leads and everything."

    "Agree."

    And soon, the group of 6 quickly bring out their concern, expectation, specialty and skills that the would share and depend on the others to give them a backup.

    Finally, the group agrees with a few terms and condition for the group to run smoothly.

    First, Altima would do their best to provide them cultivating resources, but of course, it would be the extras or those that they manage to change from the Medicinal Hall.

    Second, the group would move in either Independently, in a group of two or all together. Profit obtained by the group will always go into the group funding, and through the funding, it would be used in order to strengthen the group''s strength.

    Third, everyone will have a piece of communication ring to each other, and Altima will hold a total of 5 rings, that allows him to speak privately to others in case any orders is needed to pass on.

    Fourth, In order of certain specific issue happened on any of them, the others should always remain calm and act from behind the shadows, in order to maintain the order between all of them.

    Fifth, in order to add additional members within the group, one shall receive a total of full agreement from each member within the group, if there is one rejection within the members, the add-on into the group will be rejected.

    After all the discussion is complete, Altima withdraws a total of 50 Boosting Zen Pills and distribute it evenly to the other 5 members as a present of being grouped into a team.

    "What shall we call ourselves as ?"

    Wu Chung suggested.

    "Flame Emperors!"

    "That¡¯s ridiculously lame."

    "Elite Six ?"

    "Too normal."

    "Guys, be serious please."

    "Shall we call ourselves "Meng Jiang Jun" (Ferocious General''s Troops) ?"

    "Big Brother Altima, that¡¯s an amazing name!"

    "Let us call ourselves Ferocious General''s Troops!"

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Pang Yan, do you think you can concoct the Yang Suppression Pellet successfully ?"

    An Elder asked.

    "I have no confidence in the first round, but I guess I can try a to make it happen."

    Pang Yan replied while looking on the Recipe within his hand.

    "We need to make sure this Antidote is successfully concocted and distributed to all younger disciple! This time the losses among our Spirit Beast Clan is outrageous! If this continued, our Clan fighting power will be reduced by half before the upcoming hunt for the King Beast and Elder Beast Breeding Season."

    "How is the Demon Strengthening Pellet''s production is going on ?"

    The elder continued.

    "This week quota of 50,000 Pellets is completed. The final 5,000 units of pellets are slightly in a better quality."

    Pang Yan withdraw a total of 50,000 Pellets and place it in two stacks, first is a total of 45,000 of basic Demon Strengthening Pellets, and another stack with 5,000 Pellets, which is made together with Altima a day before.

    "Is this the one that you concoct with the kid that have good potential in Alchemy, brought back by Ling Hu ?"

    The elder asked another question again.

    "Yes, Elder Shen."

    Pang Yan answered.

    "I heard that this kid is performing quite well within the deployment as well."

    "Go and get him on our side, so he could concoct more medicine for us and strengthen the beast on our side as well."

    "If you are successful, you know what is the reward will await you in the future."

    The elder continued, and as he finishes his word, he slowly exits the Alchemist Room, and leave Pang Yan alone within the quiet room.

    "Altima... Do not blame me for being ruthless if you hesitates to enter the (SHEN) Faction."

    "I would never imagine that only barely few days he entered the Outer Clan, and here he is started to be noticed by the (SHEN) faction and the (LING) faction. Perhaps soon the (CHEN) and the (MING) faction will start to focus on him as well."

    Pang Yan sighed. And then he finally leaves the Alchemist room as well, leaving the room empty without a soul wandering within.

    Current Contribution Points: 27,500

    (Added 20,000 points from slaying a total of 5,000 Demonic Imps)

 Chapter 96 - Ferocious Generals Troop First Mission!

    Within the Blacksmithing Department.

    "Senior Brother, can I hand over this few piece of Pure Arsalite Plate as the requirement to complete the gathering task ?"

    Altima withdraws a total of 50 pieces of the Pure Arsalite Plates and handover to the Blacksmithing Assistant.

    "Oh, it is you again. Seems like you got some way of obtaining all these precious metals."

    "Alright, here you go."

    The Assistant slapped the piece of the medallion, and transfer a total of 25,000 Contribution points into Altima''s medallion, and return to continue his works.

    Without wasting his time, Altima heads toward the Exchange Hall and started to check on the exchange list available.

    Within the list, a plentiful amount of ingredients and materials is listed for exchange. But what manage to grab Altima''s attention, is a Metal based material called as Peroslite. This metal based material is not suitable for any weapon or armor material, due to the highly remold able element, but when it comes to Alchemy, Altima has his own plan in utilizing this material within his Water Dragon Cannon Concoction.

    Another material that able to capture his sight, is the major ingredient for Altima to concoct the Intermediate Profound Zen Pill. It seems to be in the exchange for a low pricing, due to the lack of usage except as a culinary ingredient.

    Without hesitation, Altima proceeds to exchange for a bulk amount of ingredients, and through spending a total of 50,000 contribution points, Altima manages to obtain a total of 5,000 sets of a complete ingredient. Of course, having a balance of 2,500 points, Altima decided to spend it in obtaining some highly concentrated Yin and Yang Essence fruits, in order to feed Tian when he went back to his room.

    As he returned to his room, Altima immediately enters his Cultivation Farm and started to concoct the Intermediate Profound Zen Pills. Due to the required expenses is obtained, Altima does not bother about taking in any mission at the moment and decided to increase the cultivation of his through the medicine he concocted.

    After spending a whole night concocting the Intermediate Profound Zen Pill, Altima started to refine and temper his cultivation without delay. Seated on the Yin Yang Cultivation Circle located within the North Mountain, Altima boost his cultivating rate by 100%, and start cultivating like no tomorrow.

    In the first day, Altima spends no rest time but cultivate without stopping.

    After 8 days, Altima finally successfully solidify yet another Spiritual Body, which is the Spiritual Feel.

    Spiritual Feel - Increase the sensitivity on oneself, enabling one to be synchronized perfectly with the surrounding to enhance battle strength, Spiritual Strength, and Mental Strength.

    But this is not all.

    Altima believed that based on the remaining amount of Intermediate Profound Zen Pill, he could still break through another stage, so he continued.

    In another 8 days, Altima finally succeeds in breaking through the 5th stage and being within the middle of Spiritual Creation Stage currently.

    Spiritual Core - The core of all Essence Energy. By creating a Spiritual Core, this allows the cultivator to double or triple his essence storage, amplification into a higher, denser purity Essence Energy, for all purpose of usage.

    With all 5 Internal Spiritual Body is formed, Altima believed that this is time for him to start tempering his outer body, where he finally starts to absorb a great amount of Yin and Yang Essence surrounding him, and thoroughly convert all of the essences into Extreme Extracts.

    Next, on his list, Altima repeat the same procedure, and entered the Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace, and refine all the Extreme Extracts within, allowing the Inner Palace to have a power up.

    By now, the one and only Pellet within the Cauldron is almost readied as well. Perhaps with another few more refining, Altima could expect his first harvest of a Pure Golden Fate Pellet soon.

    And not only that, Altima went closer to the Tree of Longevity and noticed that there are a few almost ripe fruits hanging on top of the tree. As he tried to pluck the fruit, it unexpectedly shrinks and hid back into the bulb of seed it''s originally sprouted from.

    "Such Magical fruits. Perhaps when this fruit is matured and ripe, I would have the first chances to eat and receive the best benefits."

    You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

    Altima said to himself before he went over to the Stone Plaque before the Palace.

    The palace is still tightly locked, while out of the entrance, Silvia is seen sleeping in the center of the walking path.

    Altima tried to look carefully on Silvia''s appearance and quickly noticed that this Fox is not sleeping, but instead, it is cultivating in a method human used on themselves.

    Without bothering Silvia, Altima gets closer to the Stone Plaque through another path and tried to look on the word that etched onto it, which is much more than last time.

    "Spiritual Maturation Fruit"

    "Pure Golden Fate Pellet"

    "Empress of Lake Leaping Pearl"

    "Fate Tempering Alchemic Ling Zhi"

    Four different specific treasure of unknown origin, effect and rarity appeared within the plaque.

    Trying to assume things easily, Altima makes a hypothesis.

    "This is most probably be the different harvest available, each time I refine the Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace more and more.

    "The Spiritual Maturation Fruit is most probably the product from the fruit I tried to touch earlier, while for the Pure Golden Fate Pellet, it must be from the Cauldron itself. The Empress of Lake Leaping Pearl is unknown, but most probably its going to be a product from the Pond of Prosperity, while for the Fate Tempering Alchemic Ling Zhi, it must be from the Soil of Dao."

    "To know the effect of each treasure upon their maturity, I guess I need to further refine the Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace."

    Finishing all his basic touch on his usual duties, Altima returned to the Cultivation farm.

    Going to the bed of Rubbles that Tian is sleeping comfortably, Altima noticed a few specific items that are well arranged and kept around the nest.

    "My Lord."

    Victor gets closed to Altima and initiates a word with him.

    "Yes. Why are you here ?"

    Altima is puzzled with Victor''s appearance over here. Usually other than cultivating, and working in the Mines, Victor and Vector is rarely seen walking idly around the Cultivation Farm.

    "Me and Vector is taking care of Tian and Scarlet King."

    Victor answered Altima, and point towards the two beast that sleeping side by side with each other.

    "And yet a week back, that Scarlet King is running away from Tian without any traces left behind."

    "Beast is seriously simple minded."

    Altima is perplexed with how the beast can coexistence with each other.

    Walking closed to the arranged material area, Altima take a simple stocktaking on the total amounts of produce is made by both of the beasts within the Cultivation farm.

    Medicinal Poison (Increase Medicinal Grade upon Refining) x 1,800 Drops

    Scarlet Scales (Assist the effect of stopping bleeding and injuries) x 180 Scales

    Celestial Blood (Enhance Medicinal effect to Late Medicinal Grade upon usage) x 10 Drops

    Celestial Scales (Enhance Blacksmithing effect to Soul Infested Form upon usage) X 2 Scales

    Celestial Extract (Provide high-quality healing effect upon application) x 8 Drops

    "Seems like there is a good number of Medicinal Poison drops this time. Perhaps the next time I started to refine some medicine, I could further refine the completed medicine to increase their medicinal value and grades."

    Altima considered for a bit and started to leave the Cultivation Farm.

    Meanwhile in Tian''s Mind.

    "Owner still don¡¯t know about all this Condensed Yin Pill and Condensed Yang Pill yet."

    "I should hide all of it inside my pool of drools. Later he will be so happy when he found this all."

    "Ahh¡­ Although the fruit master bought this time is not sweet, but it still good to swallow everything."

    "I wonder when will he bring out that thing inside the pool beside the big big house ?"

    ??

    ???

    Seems like Tian not only can see further than what normal eyes can see. He can even overview thing in much deeper sights.

    And within Scarlet King''s mind.

    "I better be good and stay within that dragon''s sight. If one day he notices I''m not around, I''m sure I will be swallowed by the world within seconds."

    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Brother Altima!"

    "Wow! Brother Altima, had you just breakthrough ? I can feel at least two stage stronger undulation of energy from you."

    Qing Yi and Shi-Wen Qing both started to talk to Altima as he exits his room.

    "Guys, sorry I had been inside to cultivate, and when I opened my eyes, a week had already passed."

    Altima explained and apologized for being absent for such a long period.

    "Brother Altima, come over for a moment, we are actually discussing a mission that recently posted into the Board. Although it¡¯s a Low Mission, but the rewards is pretty attractive."

    Gu Pang explained.

    "Let me know more about it."

    Altima shows interest towards this Low Mission as well.

    With haste, Gu Pang quickly withdraws the piece of Low Mission description and explain it thoroughly with the group members.

    Low Mission

    Subjugate and Harvest. The Spirit Beast Clan managed to spot a hidden location believed to be the Nest of a dangerous Threat 1 Beast. A minimum team of 5 members is required. A collection of 100 corpses of the beast is required, and proof of exploring the nest, such as the treasures, leftovers, and remains shall be reported to be counted as Mission complete.

    Contribution Rewards: 5,000 Contribution Points, Treasures will be returned to the Subjugating Members as the overall rewards.

    "Brother Altima, my family is living within an outskirt location, and that location is pretty close to this place reported to be the Nest area. In that area, the most dangerous beast ever reported is the Fierce Rampage Rhinoceros or the Thunderous Demon Ape."

    "Both of this Demonic Beast is categorized as Threat 1 beast, but it is been quite long without any news regarding this beast have recently started to regroup."

    Gu Pang explained all the understanding circumstances he knows and allows the group to evaluate the worthiness of taking up this mission.

    "What do you guys think ? Shall we take this Mission as the first mission the Ferocious General''s Troop''s task ?"

    Altima tried to get the others opinion before he decides.

    "Yes."

    All of them agree in the same time.

    "If in that case, let us report to the Mission Hall, and get ready for your preparations! We will depart by tomorrow. Gu Pang, you will lead the way towards the location. Shi-Wen Qing and Qing Yi, prepare the initial information regarding the beast around there, check with Gu Pang in case we required to prepare some antidotes or medicine to tackle the situation."

    "Fang Mu, this is another 20 Boosting Zen Pills, try to get your cultivation strength higher before we depart tomorrow, its should able to help you preserve your life by a little at least."

    "Brother Wu Chung and myself we prepare some tools required for the mission, disband for now, and let us regroup tomorrow sharp at noon, and we will make sure this will be a successful adventure!

    "Yeah!"

    Altima finished his words, and delegate each of them to have a task to complete. With a cheer from everyone, they disband, and quickly run to complete their task.

    Sharp in the early of Noon next day, Altima and Wu Chung is seated on their respective Demonic Beast. Altima is riding a Scarlet King Beast, and similar to Altima, Wu Chung is riding along with his companion, which is a Fang King Black Sun Leopard.

    Fang Mu is the first to arrive among the four of them that yet to appear. He is riding a Rainbow Elder Sparrow. Next came Qing Yi and Gu Pang, where both of them respectively riding on their Violet Moss Grizzly Elder, and the Trident Tail Elder Ram. Lastly, Shi-Wen Qing appears with the Ice King Snow Fox.

    "Seems like everyone is ready, let us depart!"

    Altima passed his order, and all 6 of them immediately charge toward the direction south of Spirit Beast Clan, and head towards the north, closer to the border between the Desert Crystal Sand Kingdom and the Flame Lion Ancient Kingdom.

    Current Contribution Points: 410

 Chapter 97 - Ferocious Generals Troops First Mission! (2)

    Traveling for a total of 7 days, the team finally reach the border between the Flame Lion Ancient Kingdom. But as the Ancient Kingdom is not their target location, the group travel along the borders, borrowing the protection along their paths to slowly direct their path towards the Desert Crystal Sand Kingdom.

    Three more days later, the group finally reach the first outskirt of the Desert Crystal Sand Kingdom.

    Entering the kingdom''s outskirt city, the business is seen bustling all around the way, once in a while, they will encounter a few petty thieves that try to rob some of their belongings but failed miserably due to the difference in strength between the petty thieves and the group members.

    "Brother Altima, is it possible for us to take a rest in some nearby Inn ?"

    Shi-Wen Qing suggested. After a total 10 days of travel, the group is slight exhausted, and in need of a good bath and refreshment before they proceed towards the Threat 1 Beast nest.

    The group finally decided to stop from moving within the city and pay a visit to the Inn in front of them. Ordering a few dishes and drinks, they quickly had themselves prepared and freshen up, and get ready to continue their journey.

    In a total of 10 days, the group finally reach a mountainous area, where some weird kind of plantations is covering all over the roads as they walked.

    Wielding a temporary High-class Spiritual grade spear, Altima quickly chopped and open a path, allowing the group to march deeper into the mountain area, and as they path the weird plantation area, the group finally reach the bottom of the mountain range entrance.

    Unexpectedly, a manmade Shrine is located nearby, giving the group some attraction to explore it before they proceed to look for the Beast''s nest.

    "What shall we do, Brother Altima ?"

    Wu Chung, as the sub-leader, decided to ask for Altima''s opinion on behalf of everyone.

    "The location of the Beast''s nest is still unknown, and yet we havenThe location of the Beast''s nest is still unknown, and yet we haven''t met with any resistance at all. I suggest we are to be on high alert for tonight."

    "Me and Wu Chung will proceed to explore the shrine entrance, to recover a spot for us to use as a camping zone, while for Shi-Wen Qing, Qing Yi, Gu Pang and Fang Mu, you guys go and gather information on area nearby, so we know our path in case anything happened."

    Altima passed some directions for the group members to follow, and very quickly, everyone proceeds to complete their respective task, while Altima and Wu Chung head deeper into the shrine and make a quick inspection before they decide that the shrine is safe.

    Before proceeding, Altima makes a simple scanning on the Shrine, and head within with a slight clue about how is the Shrine is built within. Walking deeper into the tunnel, Altima is greeted with nothing but one huge Square, where they lit the bonfire in the middle, and allows the barely bright lights to lit the whole square.

    Within the middle of the Square, a huge statue is standing tall, believed to be but many ages ago.

    The craftsmanship is poor, but from initial sight, the statue feature is carrying an Ogre features.

    Ogres. A counterpart of Goblins.

    They came is bluish skin feature, a gigantic body as tall as a two-story building, well versatile in magic and physical battling, and one most important factor, Bloodlust.

    An Ogres is a battle freak kind of Demonic beast.

    Loved to battle and slaughter, whenever a place started to reside by an Ogre packs, the damage is going to be inevitable, where kingdom shall perish one by one, and the country shall be destroyed, again and again, as long there are people who wish to fight against the Ogres.

    And within this shrine, it is used to worship the warriors and shamans among the ogres, which falls within the battlefield proudly, after managed to slaughter more enemies than any of the others could.

    "Hmmm¡­.."

    "Ruk¡­rukk¡­."

    A few growling voice could be heard deeper within the shrine paths.

    Soon, a lizard-like beast slowly slithers from the darkness and appeared within the two youngsters.

    "Hiss.."

    "Human... What have you come for.."Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!

    "Ogres Tribe is sealed, you have no needs to come for threats."

    The Lizard looking beast is a being that already had all its four limbs chopped, speaks.

    "We are here just to look for a place to stay for temporary. We bring no hostility."

    Altima replied.

    "If in that case.. Tributes!"

    "One tributes for one head."

    The limbless Lizard beast speaks.

    "What would this elder need as tributes ?"

    Altima replied again.

    "Food! One piece of fruits for one Head!"

    The lizard beast howled.

    Altima withdraws a total of 6 Juicy Bloody Fruits that he retrieved from the Demonic Bridge Ritual, and throw it towards the Lizard beast.

    "Good, you may stay, but don¡¯t come in."

    The lizard beast replied, and finally slither off from the spot.

    On that night, Altima and the group spent a night sleeping and taking a turn on guard for the unexpected ambush, but luckily, no threat is to be found within the location.

    "Brother Mobi, you sure this shrine hid no secrets ?"

    Altima discussing regarding the shrine with Mobi.

    "Yeah, the Mapping is complete, except the Lizard, it''s literally worthless to explore here, as it''s looked like a maze."

    Mobi replied, and soon, the brother decided to leave this shrine and go deeper to hunt for the beast.

    ----------------------------------------------------

    "Pang Yan! Get the hell out of here now!"

    A scream came outside the Medicinal Hall, shocking all the existing Alchemist within the hall. Some weaker constitution Alchemist is caused to accidently failed in their refining, causing a huge amount of losses within that few minutes.

    "Senior brother Shen Fei, what can I help you ?"

    Pang Yan came out from his room and politely greet the so-called Senior Brother.

    "Pang Yan, I heard from the Elders that the superb quality Demon Strengthening Pellet is concocted by you, am I correct ? Here, take this ring. Within is a total of 1,000 Sets of the ingredient to concoct the pellets, make sure you get it ready within two days."

    Shen Fei throws a spatial ring into Pang Yan''s hand and makes his demand.

    "Senior brother, two day is impossible for me to concoct this amount, can you give me more.."

    "Shut Up!"

    "When do I, Shen Fei need to listen to you lowly class Alchemist request ?"

    "When I say two days, it means TWO DAYS!"

    "If it is not done by then, well, don¡¯t blame me for accidently visits your sister. I heard that the Pang''s Three Stalk of Peony is still virgin and untouched ?"

    Pang Yan tried to get some logic into Shen Fei''s mind, but before he finished, he was interrupted, and as well threatened with the safety and purity of his younger sisters, is depending on his attitude and actions.

    "I.. I will make sure its done."

    Pang Yan replied weakly, losing all the confidence to retaliate.

    "Good Dog! This is why Elder Shen and Oldest Uncle Shen is feeding you until now."

    "Leave!"

    Shen Fei turns his back, patted some dust around his shoulders, and leave the Medicinal Hall without any more words.

    "Fellow brothers, please go back to your task."

    Pang Yan politely speaks to the other Alchemist, and slowly return to his room. Within, slowly came a weeping sound and some rants of anger, but soon, even that is gone as well, replaced by only the sound of non-stopping concocting.

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    The next day, Altima and team quickly move deeper into the mountain area and explore locations which slightly seem dangerous. As they move, many Demonic Beast that proof to be dangerous and threatening, they will quickly dispose of it before it is allowed to multiply or regroup to form a much more dangerous pack of Demonic Beast.

    This process goes on for another two days, where they finally met their initial targets.

    Even within the scanning report, Altima could see the danger sign within the interface reports.

    Nest of Thunderous Demon Ape - Threat level 1 - Stage 6

    Total Beast reported: 50,000 Young Ape / 1,500 Adult Ape / 2 Elder Ape / 1 King Ape

    Cultivation strength: 3rd Stage Master of Zen tier - 3rd Stage of Soul of Zen Tier.

    Hidden Location: Infant Ape Burrows / Demon Ape Pool / Thunder Shrine

    Notes: Thunder Elemental Beast, further preparation required.

    "Brother Altima, here, take this."

    Gu Pang passes a few medicinal pellets to Altima and the rest of the team, as well as a few different items such as a bracelet made from Yellow colored Vines, a feather that seems to fall from some huge gigantic bird, and a belt that made from some marble rocks.

    "The first thing is a medicine called the Lightning dispersing Pellet. It increased the possibility of nullified the Thunder element when attacked, and also strengthening a cultivator''s body through tempering it with Thunder Element."

    "The yellow vine bracelet is a special preparation item that our town people used to bring along when hunting. If we shook it hard and allows the vine to be vibrating too hard, a huge dried vines umbrella will come out, which is good for facing Thunder elemental beast."

    "The feather is the item we could use in case we are cornered by all sides. This feather belonged to the Thunder Rain Emperor Beast, and along the way of its flight, feathers that fall from its wing is always treated as treasure by the Ape beast due to the colorful appearance and strong In thunder essence energy."

    And lastly, the Marble Sharpening Belt."

    "This belt is not too amazing or godlike when fighting thunder beast like the Thunderous Demon Ape, but the Ape''s body is always filled with a layer of Slimy Goo, where it protect their skin from getting burned from the constant rain of thunder and lightning."

    "For people that utilize weapons like me, Wen Qing, Qing Yi and Wu Chung, we will need to keep sharpening the weapon with this marble and use It to slice smoothly across the Ape''s heart. Meanwhile, for Fang Mu and Brother Altima, this is prepared marble dust, and best suited for people who depend on their martial arts."

    "I finish my explanations. Brother Altima, anything to add into your orders ?"

    "We do have certain information to share."

    Gu Pang finished his explanation and next come to the information from the Shi-Wen Qing and Qing Yi.

    "from our studies regarding this beast, we found some reports regarding the way to kill the beast while preserving its best corpse value. Their weakness is located on their left chest instead of the right. Although the heart is the best way to instant-death the beast, but this will cause us to miss the opportunity to obtain a fair amount of profits."

    "We shall delegate each other''s position. They are weak towards internal attack or shockwaves, so if anyone among us could do it, please speak now."

    "I am skillful with Internal Damage."

    Altima stands first.

    "I''m not too skillful, but few of my martial arts is related to internal damage."

    Wu Chung stands as well.

    "if we only have two heavy attackers, it would be tough to dispose of them perfectly."

    Qing Yi explained.

    "Guys, I have a secret to let you all know about it too."

    Altima honestly talked.

    "Brother Altima ?"

    The five of them wondered. After all, their leader here always have many surprises for them, but unexpectedly, there is still some surprises that yet to be exposed to the group.

    Without hesitation, Altima kept his spear away, and withdraw another treasure that hidden within his Spatial Ring.

    Ferocious General "Meng Jiang" Protector Spear - Early Zen Tier Treasure

    Description: Created by a combination of Goblin and Human Blacksmith Elder, A transcendence weapon that bears an appearance of 6 Feet and 6 inches long, Crystal refined Violet Tip and a sturdier than any Mace and Hammer''s Pommel, and a total of 5 pieces of Spatial formed beads on the middle of the spear.

    Meng Jiang Spear came with 5 Special features and required to be blood bond to fully unleash its capability. The spear not only able to store a various special weapon, medicine, and important treasure within, it could even absorb and amplify the Zen, Yin, and Yang essence into more condensed and pure energy for usage.

    The spear could even reach the form of Energized, which release the limitation border and further enhance the capability of the owner and weapon, and lastly, the Tool Soul Release, but the form after released is still unknown yet.

    Special Note: All Zen Tier Treasure could be upgraded.(Early - Low - Middle - High - Peak - Earth - Heaven - Mortal - Immortal)

    "This is my actual spear, except in near death or important situation, I won''t use this at all."

    Altima holds his Early Zen Tier Treasure high up to the air and allows all of them to look at it.

    "Big brother, that¡¯s a Named Treasure!"

    "Oh my, I would never imagine our big brother still have an Early Zen Tier Treasure within his arsenal!"

 Chapter 98 - Ferocious Generals Troops First Mission! (3)

    The group is seated nicely, and slowly, Altima shared his experience with the group to obtain their trust.

    At first, from listening to Altima stories and shared experience, the group first hated to believe it.

    But as the sharing goes, the group starts to felt the difficulties, and the burden carried by this young person that is less than 12 years old.

    The experienced is share, and close to the ending, they felt respect.

    The respect towards Altima''s decisiveness, ruthlessness, persistence, is more than any of them can bear.

    "Brother Altima, we will keep this secret for you."

    "Yes. We are glad we could know you now, and not earlier."

    "Brother Altima, you are my idol now. Who knows that I might be the one next to bear the responsibility for the Wu Family."

    "Your head dreams too much, brother Wu. With your current cultivation how you wanna lead the Wu family ?"

    "Heh, don¡¯t look down on me."

    "Brother Altima... You''re amazing."

    Their talk slowly becomes chatter, and after a short while, they started to back on their track.

    "If in this case, Brother Altima, the five of us will make our move and gather most of the Thunderous Demon Ape to your location, take your shots as you deem fit."

    The five of them agreed to have Altima becoming the main Damage dealer, and move out immediately.

    Within minutes, clashes started in 5 different spots, where the five of them is charged by a huge number of Thunderous Demon Ape as they were spotted. Fighting ensues all over the way, causing even running back to Altima''s position is difficult.

    "Brother Altima!"

    Qing Yi is the first one to completely return to Altima, luring a total of about 40 Apes to Altima''s location.

    (Surging Wave-Swept the Ocean)

    Altima waves his spear and with each strike, a number of upgraded Water Dragon Cannon is launched toward the Thunderous Demon Ape, and immediately the weapon penetrate the body of the Ape, and explode within, carrying the First formation among 64 Bagua Diagram, the Force Formation, and thus destroying the internal Left chest of each Demon Apes.

    Continuously, Wu Chung, Shi-Wen Qing, Gu Pang keep bringing in the Thunderous Demon Ape and allows Altima to quickly dispose of them without any delays.

    But in another side, Fang Mu seems to have a problem in handling his part of the contribution.

    "Brother Fang, are you still capable of handling this matter ?"

    Altima asked as the team leader, as the performance and the capability of each member will affect the progress of the hunt.

    "My cultivation is slightly too low to attract their attention. If this continue, the balance between the section will break off, in case few of the Apes within my area manage to wander around and enter the position where Brother Gu Pang and Sister Qing Yi is located."

    Fang Mu speak without hiding anything. After all, in this part of 6 person party, each has to trust their back to another, so they could proceed and retreat without worries. With Fang Mu stating his capability issue, Altima slowly turn their luring spot into another location, making it closer to Fang Mu as an adjustment to enhance his capability.

    Six hours later, Altima and team finally stopped hunting the Thunderous Demon Ape. First reason is due to the night is almost coming, The Ape is a semi-nocturnal beast, which means their capability, sensitivity and battle strength is much stronger as the night come.

    Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.

    Second reason is due to the big hunting session a few hours back, had already reduce their amount by a whole lot. It would take not too long before the beast noticed that they are under some sneak attack, so guards and defense would be a lot tougher as the night come.

    Gathering the corpses and the required materials as proof and for other purposes, Altima''s team quickly withdraw from the nest and return to the shrine. Within the shrine, the Lizard Beast appeared once again, asking for his tributes to allow the team to stay within the shrine.

    Instead of giving only the fruits, Altima decided to allow the Lizard Beast to consume an extra 5 vials containing the blood essence of the Thunderous Demon Ape as rewards for attending to their needs.

    "Hisss¡­.Five bottles of Blood Essence... Nutritious!!!"

    The Lizard Beast happily gulp it carefully, as it has no limbs to hold it properly. But based on its appearance and its movement, Altima could guess that this Lizard is even agiler and comparable to snakes when they think about its movement.

    "Youngling... Do you want to hear a story ?"

    The Lizard Beast offer to tell a tale for the free tributes he received.

    "Elder Lizard, please start, we are anxious for it!"

    "Elder Lizard, Is the story is about this Ogre Tribe ?"

    Fang Mu and Shi-Wen Qing, the most childish among the six quickly show their anticipations.

    "Hisss! It''s related but not too much."

    "I am born after their tribe is getting destroyed, but I manage to encounter one younger Ogre before it ventures into the deeper sea."

    "I will start now, Younglings!"

    The Lizard Beast replied, and soon he starts his story.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FILLER!

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I am 6,000 years old this year.

    I came from a proud Golden Carapace Lizard Tribe. Our tribe is strong. When our newborn is hatched from the egg, they already possess a strength of Early Master Practitioner of Zen Tier. With abundant food resources and fighting experience, even the weakest one could grow to at least a Soul Practitioner of Zen Tier upon maturity.

    This Flame Forest Continent, during that 6,000 years ago is not dominated by Humans, but us, the Demonic Beast.

    What is the Thunderous Demon Ape? They are just the lousiest bloodline among the Apes. During the time I''m born, plenty of Strong beast such as the Firewing Tyrant Tribe, a Tyrant bloodline Demonic Crow Beast is even considered normal in this continent.

    That time, our Golden Carapace Lizard Tribe ruled over the 1/10 of this continent, and receive plenty of tributes from the demonic beast all around.

    I can still remember how the beast lower their heads as they saw any of our Lizard Tribe adults walk past. We literally controlling their life.

    But then.

    A tribe that used to stay and live underground in a different ecosystem suddenly appeared.

    One of the main reason is due to their habitat is exposed to one subterranean tribe, the King Driller Mole Tribe. The Mole tribe accidently uncover the living places belong to a pack of Low Ogres, which is almost the lowest position of bloodline among their tribe, living in an underground full of minerals and crystals.

    Since many of the Demonic Beast like us could use the Crystals and Minerals as cultivating resources, War happened.

    The Firewing Tyrant Tribe, the King Driller Mole Tribe, The Golden Carapace Lizard Tribe, and two less worth mentioning tribe participates in this war to destroy the nest of 1,000 Low Ogres. Although they are only a Low Ogres, but we totally underestimate their strength.

    A mere Low Ogre have the strength of Middle Emperor of Zen Tier strength!

    If we met with the Older Ogre, they might already pass the border of Zen Tier and entered the Kun Tier strength.

    Even a child Ogre could have a strength of at least a King Tier.

    Our combination of 5 different Demonic Tribe was outmatched, and the war started to escalate to an even bigger concern, and affect the whole Continent.

    Soon, the hunter becomes the hunted.

    The Ogres grow stronger from consuming all the flesh and blood from the 5 tribes breathen and started to come out from their hidden underground nest. Perhaps it''s was our 5 tribes fault to try and taking what was supposedly belong to others.

    The ogres grow even more ferocious.

    They started to pillage nest of other beasts, and even some villages belonged to the humans.

    As their action grows to an unforgivable degree, a very strong power, finally reveal themselves to the world of Beast and Human for the first time.

    The Divinity Clan.

    Appearing from the clouds, the Divinity Clan sent their most basic Heavenly troops down to the continent to contain this matter.

    One by one, we are looking at them as they descend from the sky, and with each swing of weapon, they easily kill an ogre without any difficulties.

    By that time, we are finally understood the meaning of,

    "You may be big, but there is always some beast that is bigger than you"

    A within our eyes, a mere Demonic Beast, we are blessed by a favor from this divinity being.

    Within the period of one week, the Divinity Clan totally destroyed the Low Ogres Tribe, and pushing them to extinction.

    But there are some remnants is still hidden among the continents.

    One of them, a youngling is caught by surprise by our leftover from the Golden Carapace Lizard Tribe. We tried to fight, but at the end, we failed.

    That moment decided the fate of our Golden Carapace Lizard tribe. I am the only lucky survivor, among my whole tribe. Everyone is dead, and even their Blood Essence is absorbed by the Young Ogre before he left in a hurry.

    But as he leaves, instead of devouring me, the Ogre choose to decapitate me.

    Two stamps came from the left and the right. As its end, all my 4 limbs is crushed, and yet he still uses the swords that we Lizard Beast could wield, and chopped it cleanly.

    I received a blessing from the Divinity Clan afterward, looking at my pitiable state.

    In return, I decided to move towards this mountain, and stay secluded by myself.

    But then I found this Shrine, and it is worshipping the Ogres.

    So I end up bringing all the leftover corpses of my tribes, buried them within here, and each moment, I curse the ogres with my life.

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    I''M NOT THAT MEAN, THIS IS THE DIVINITY CLAN OPENING SOON!

    -------------------------------------------------------------

    Finished listening to the story, the Lizard Beast, for the first time, Stay along with a group of a human for a night before they return to their trip next morning.

    But in each other''s mind, and enlightenment regarding how vast is this world is deeply imprinted within their minds and would bring them to the deeper path of cultivation in future.

    And within Altima''s mind, is another story.

    "As we finish this Mission, I will make sure this Lizard Beast will follow me in my path."

 Chapter 99 - Slaying the King!

    As the group charge into the Thunderous Demon Ape nest, they were received by a large number of Demon Ape vanguards that tried to defend the entrance to their nest.

    "Qing Yi, Wen Qing, Gu Pang, handle the three on the left, Fang Mu, and Wu Chung, stop those from the top from trying to ambush us."

    Altima pass on the order, and without any further words, he charges toward the Adult Thunderous Demon Ape that tries to escape, and with his full strength, Altima spear quickly pierces through the chest of the target without any mercy.

    Turning around, Altima swings his Spear beautifully without any obstacles, and decapitate the few Thunderous Demon Ape without hesitation, and charge deeper into the nest to be the first scout.

    As he entered the Nest, Altima is greeted with a two lines defense, one on the outer side of the main Nest where they tend the young infants, and the inner side, believed to be protection line for the King.

    Soon, the other 5 of the teammates finally reach Altima''s location and sigh for a moment.

    "Guess there goes our good fortune. Can''t help it."

    Qing Yi, being almost like the big sister among the team, started to sigh because of the changes of this situation, the option of luring the Demon Apes and gathering them and pierce kill them nicely to preserve the best value of the corpses is no longer an option.

    "Alright, everyone, this is the crucial time to handle the Nest and subjugate all the beast now. Bring out all your strength and let us make this mission a success!"

    "When we are back we need to let the Clan know that this nest is overpopulated. The estimated beast is not up to the measurement standard."

    "Yeah, let us quickly finish this, go back to the Desert Crystal Sand Kingdom and have a feast before we return. I remembered that the Crystal Sand Metal Stones is pretty good, but not usable except as the item for collection."

    "Alright guys, Take your move, let us dispose the beast and quickly return back to the Kingdom Outskirt!"

    "Roger!"

    The group split, and assisting with each other, they quickly move over around the nest to dispose of the great number of apes without any moment to rest. Fang Mu is the first to get injured, but with the assistance of Gu Pang beside him, his section is still manageable at least.

    While on Qing Yi side, together with Wu Chung, the duo make a best supporting team, where Qing Yi attack from far away, luring the targets closer to them before Wu Chung utilizes his Flying Sword Martial Art, and nicely pierce, slash and immobilize the target within their circle of reach.

    Shi-Wen Qing prefer to act alone, due to her martial arts is much more similar with Gu Pang. Gu Pang is wielding a twin Thunder Bell Hammer he inherits from his both parents before they deceased. While for Shi-Wen Qing, she inherited her father''s Mountain Trembling Staff, and his extremely strong martial art, the (Five Stance of Mountain Destruction Staff Strikes) which is known by everyone within the Flame Forest Continent to be one of the most deadliest martial arts when it came to Staves Martial Art.

    The killing continued, yesterday, the group managed to slain a total of 20,000 apes during their secret tactics. But today, the group started to notice another additional 40,000 apes is still within the nest. Additionally, the group is still yet to found any Elder or King Thunderous Demon Ape within the vicinity.

    "Brother Altima, can you spot the King Thunderous Demon Ape anywhere ?"

    Gu Pang impatiently asked.

    "Not seen it yet."

    Altima replied simply, and charge towards the group of Apes again and swing his spear without reserve.

    "We didn¡¯t see it as well."Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

    The others replied as well. By this time, the group started to get weary with their task.

    "Guys, don¡¯t waste time fighting, we need to quickly find the location where is the King of Thunderous Demon Ape is hiding."

    The group quickly scattered and explore around the nest, looking for the sign indicating certain special breed is resides and leading the group from some location.

    But as they search, the group is quickly got surrounded by increasing amount of Thunderous Demon Apes. Very quickly, before they manage to explore the whole nest, they are totally surrounded and losing the space and advantages of attacking in a small party immediately.

    The Thunderous Demon Apes surrounded all 6 of them without taking any action.

    Altima tried to take an action, but before he succeeds, a huge shadow came out and totally covering the moonlight from shining into the nest.

    "Small humans. How dare you come and try to destroy my tribe!"

    A vibrating voice came out from above, as the King of Thunderous Demon Ape quickly appear from a spatial realm that keeps giving out lightning bolt voices as he crawls out from the Realm.

    "To make me come out from my Thunder Realm Cultivation, you must pay with your life!"

    The King of Thunderous Demon Ape quickly jumped and reappeared in front of the team, releasing a 3rd Stage Soul Practitioner of Zen strength, and directly sweep his hand at where Altima and the group are running away from.

    "Evade his attack!"

    "Move quickly! His sweep contained a strong Lightning element within, one hit would paralyze you for a long period."

    The group quickly scattered around, and with the risk of being assault by the surrounding Demon Apes, the group quickly get close to the defensive perimeter formed by them and started to fight for a route to survival.

    But due to the surrounding is too heavily guarded, the team started to face difficulties in maintaining their advantages in disposing of the enemies quickly.

    "Damn it! Guys, I will be using a forbidden technique to pressure their strength, by that time, unleash your strongest martial arts and we will make a charge toward the outside of the nest!"

    Altima shouted.

    "Understood!"

    All five of them shouted in agreement, and with immediate action, Altima had Mobi prepared for the Primordial Destruction.

    "It''s me again.."

    (PRIMORDIAL DESTRUCTION!)

    Once this skill is unleashed, included the King of Thunderous Demon Ape, all the existing demonic beast within the location is pressured and weakened, and losing their battle capability by a whole level.

    Looking at the weakened group of Thunderous Demon Apes, Wu Chung immediately retaliates, taking the lead to strike a path towards the exit.

    Followed by Fang Mu and the two girls, four of them quickly open and secure the path of retreat, waiting for Altima and Gu Pang to come over.

    Meanwhile, in the heated battle between Gu Pang and the Elder Thunderous Demon Ape, Gu Pang slowly obtain more and more advantages as the elder started to get disrupted by the Primordial Destruction.

    Soon, Gu Pang manages to obtain an advantages spot, where he immediately behead the Elder Thunderous Demon Ape and retreat along with its corpse.

    While for Altima, the heated battle between him with the King of Thunderous Demon Ape started to escalate to a serious condition.

    Altima failed to obtain advantages immediately, but as the time past, the King started to lose his stable movement, and keep doing some slight mistake during the exchange of blows.

    Soon enough, Altima''s spear manage to grab its initial strength, and with a sweep, he immediately pierce the Spear tip into the King, killing it without any mercy.

    In the same time, the Primordial Destruction effects finally reach its end.

    "Quick, let us leave this nest and retreat, their king is gone, we can return in the next few days to check how is their progress."

    Altima kept the corpse within his spatial ring, and quickly escape altogether with the rest of the team, without looking back.

    While for the Thunderous Demon Ape, the Beast''s howl could be heard everywhere, as if it''s indicating that their leader had just passed away, and they currently have no leadership.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    "Senior Brother Shen Fei, this is the 1,000 pills of the Demon Strengthening Pellet you requested."

    Pang Yan personally deliver the concocted beast tempering pills, and politely pass it to Shen Fei.

    "Oh, it''s you. Good."

    Shen Fei grabbed the Spatial ring and throws it toward the housekeeper.

    "Butler Pang, take this 1,000 pellets and bring it over to uncle, tell him Xiao Fei personally had some Alchemist concocted just for his Tyrant Beast."

    "Understood, Young master."

    The butler replied, and leave without a second word.

    "So, Senior brother, regarding the family matter, could I be.."

    "Oh, you means your Pang''s sister ?"

    "Yes, Senior brother, please leave my sisters alone.."

    "People, bring his three sisters out and let them met."

    A moment later, the issues that cause Pang Yan to be heartbroken had happened.

    During the period he was secluded within the Medicinal Hall to concoct the medicines nonstop, Shen Fei had sent few men toward the Pang Household and had their men grabbed the three sisters away under the word that Pang Yan had promised the Shen Family to concoct a medicine and the three sisters would be the guarantee in case Pang Yan failed to deliver.

    As the sisters are kept within the Shen family, they were raped, beaten and tortured by Shen Fei, and being tossed to the other guards and servants of the Shen Family, for them to continue ravaging the three sisters.

    Currently, what Pang Yan still manage to collect, is merely three Soulless Female Doll, that was broken by multiple men, and raped to the point of nobody could still remain sane.

    There were utterly destroyed, in both Body and Mind!

 Chapter 100 - Furious! Parasitic Medicinal Disease! (Chapter 100 Special! 3.8k words long!)

    Pang Yan is furious.

    All the patience he endured, all the shame he had to bear due to the lack of strength of his Pang Household in holding themselves, forced him to endure the bullies and absurd demand from the Shen Family.

    But in this moment, Pang Yan''s heart is totally destroyed.

    His three sister, Pang Hua, Pang Li, Pang Rou.

    The three sister is dependant towards Pang Yan, due to the big brother effort in obtaining cultivation resources, medicine to temper the body, as well as a slight wealth to allows the family to continue to survive.

    Pang Yan is handling his sister''s matter since his parent''s death.

    Although their death is not explained by the Shen Family clearly, but Pang Yan believed that the main culprit of his parent''s death is most likely related to the mishandling of the Shen Family.

    Leaving only Pang Yan to take care of his three sisters, he soon gets threatened by the other uncles and aunts and demanding him to allow the uncles to succeed the parent''s position within the family.

    Fighting through the tough ordeal, and carrying the burden one after another, Pang Yan managed to overcome his family burden when his talent in concocting medicine is appreciated by the Spirit Beast Clan.

    But luck wasn¡¯t on his side when he entered the Clan as their Outer Disciple.

    Within the first two years, Pang Yan studied carefully to obtain the right to be permanently positioned within the Medicinal Hall as one of their main elder concocters, and succeed. But as he promoted, he was scouted by the Shen Family, and quickly got forced to join the Shen Family wings, and serve under their forces.

    Without any space to decide or decline, Pang Yan served the Shen Family in their demand on concocting various medicine, and as the return, Pang Yan is given a plentiful amount of contribution points, where he could strengthen his family but not greatly.

    But now!

    What had his loyalty done towards his family?

    He still concocted the medicine required within the time limit.

    But what happen is his three most beloved sister is still ends with the fate of being raped, destroyed, and humiliated.

    Pang Yan flows with rage.

    Without any space left for a sane mind, Pang Yan charge towards Shen Fei.

    (Ritual Praying Palm!)

    Pang Yan utilized his strongest technique inherited by his family and tried to kill Shen Fei.

    "You think with your capability, you could touch me ?"

    Shen Fei angrily speaks, and moving his leg, he quickly cancels out Pang Yan''s attack.

    The guards came out after a while, seems to be prepared, and quickly attack and had Pang Yan beaten to a pulp, before all four of them is tossed out from the Shen Family Square.

    "Hateful!"

    "I WILL MAKE SURE YOU SHEN FAMILY WILL BE RECEIVED IT''S JUDGEMENT!"

    Pang Yan slowly walk, carrying all three sisters of his in both of his hand, and one on his back, and return to the Pang Household.

    Reaching his house, Pang Yan noticed that, his family, due to being afraid of fighting with the Shen Family, had willingly sell the four of them without any resistance in order to protect their own safety.

    "Even my own home had betrayed me and my sisters."

    "What else ?"

    "HAHAHA! HAHAHAHA!"

    Pang Yan return to his room after he settled all three of his sister after he rummages through the hidden storage below his wooden bed, Pang Yan retrieved a scroll from deep inside, intentionally.

    "Shall we see how many of them will be dead ?"

    "HAHAHAHAHAH!"

    Pang Yan laugh hysterically, while reading and getting crazier each moment as he read the scrolls written:

    "PARASITIC MEDICINE DISEASE!"

    Introduction:

    The content within this scroll is exclusive for only the practitioners of the Demonic Medicinal Art School. The Parasitic Medicinal Disease is a specialize to kill a large amount of cultivator slowly, without any symptom during consumptions. The Medicinal Parasite is the first groom within the Powder Flower and slowly allows to grow again and again, to allows the batch of Medicinal ingredient to be well infested by the parasite.

    Upon successfully groomed, the Medicinal Ingredient will be harvest, and concocted into a medicinal pellet, but only on the grade of below Late Medicinal Grade. Any medicinal grade and above will totally destroy the groomed parasite due to the overly strong medicinal strength.

    Upon consumption, a cultivator will be slowly addicted to the medicinal and will be dependent on the medicine due to the insatiable thirst to consume and replenish more of the medicinal energy stored within the parasitic medicine. Soon, the defendant will become a host for the parasite to move around, and transferable through sexual intercourse, duo-cultivation, sharing of any substance between body, and through death.

    Only through eating the Parasitic medicinal pellet above Late Medicinal Grade this disease would be cured. So take note, prepared a number of antidotes for oneself, before usage, to ensure the success control of this Disease.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Brother Altima, had you recovered from the battle ?"

    Gu Pang and Qing Yi distributing the food among each other and tried to verify each other''s condition.

    "I''m doing fine. How is Fang Mu, Wen Qing, and Wu Chung ?"

    Altima politely replied, and look at the direction where the trio is resting.

    During their escape, the trio actually got ambushed from their side of the route, causing them to be struggling to escape and received a few deeper injuries, causing their condition to turn worst when the group managed to leave the nest.

    They could practically end their mission now, as they successfully slain the King of the Thunderous Demon Ape, but feeling responsible, the group decided to take a few day rest, before they continued to explore the Nest once again, and quickly clear the area before a new leader among the Apes could be elected to take control.

    The Apes, which having a least a quarter of intelligence of a Human, contain the most basic instinct of humans, which is to select a leader to take control of their tribe. Each time when a leader is dead, a new leader should always be selected to allows the tribe to have a control.

    Their leader always emerges from among the best fighters, or maybe the best pack leader among few scattered within the mountain.

    Fortunately, Altima and the group members are staying for the next three days and tried to kill off all the Thunderous Demon Ape packs, and successfully prevent them from regrouping once again.

    The nest is burnt and destroyed with the help of the Water Dragon Cannon, where Altima recently remodel it with the Peroslite Metal. The remodeled version of Water Dragon Cannon manages to receive a boost of strength, in the Explosive, formation activation, and stability.

    Thoroughly destroy the nest, Altima, and the others manage to subdue and conquered a spatial realm.

    Within that realm, a movable Realm Stone is found, where Altima and the others quickly form an ownership bond with the stone, and adjust the stone, withdrawing it from the realm and causing the spatial realm to be retrieved within the stone, for later activation.Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

    Through this mission, the group could expect that they had already owned their personal Spatial Realm, where it could be utilized as the meeting point, training and storage point for the future use.

    Thunder Realm - Low-Grade Cultivation Spatial Realm

    Capacity: 1,000 Metres.

    Growth: Possible (100 Metre growth with each 1,000 Condensed Yin Pill , 1,000 Condensed Yang Pill)

    Essence Undulation: 70% Pure Yin Essence / 70% Pure Yang Essence / 60% Pure Zen Essence / 100% Lightning Essence.

    Production: Thunder Tempering Pellet, Thunder Essence Root, Pure Thunderstone Bead.

    Holding the best loot among all, Altima and the group finally return to the Spirit Beast Clan, after traveling nonstop for 21 days, the group finally reached the Clan outer entrance. Entering the Clan, they immediately went toward the Mission Hall, and hand over the mission.

    Due to the number of perfectly handled corpses is high enough, and the mission difficulties is actually under evaluated, the group end up receiving a better rewards, which is a total of 20,000 Points to each member, added with the Thunder Realm is given to the group to be their additional rewards for completing the mission and destroying the nest to prevent next upcoming threat from the same location.

    Through this quest alone, the Ferocious General''s Troops gotten more well known, and quickly receive a few more subjugation mission directly from the Mission Hall.

    "Your group, if you are willing, we hope you could try to handle this Mission towards the Outer of Profound Volcanic Mountain Range, in a location known as the Marsh of Boiling Bloods."

    An elder passed a parchment to Altima, who is the leader of this Ferocious General''s Troops, and leave the group alone.

    "Yay! We are richer by 20,000 Contribution points. Should we spent it inside the Fragrance Beauty Pavilion tonight ?"

    Wu Chung being the first to cheer and quickly come out with some dirty ideas.

    "Hump! Rascal!"

    The two girl member quickly show some dissatisfaction towards Wu Chung''s idea.

    "Brothers and sisters, I''m quite a good cook, would it be possible if I prepare some marinated meat and skewers and we have a good drinks and barbecue tonight outside of our accommodation ?"

    Fang Mu quickly reduce the tension, and come out with a better idea.

    "I am good with Wines, my family is a great Wine Brewer, so I got good collections within my room!"

    Qing Yi happily agreed with Fang Mu''s idea, and quickly offer the specialty she could bring along as well.

    "I will go out and try to hunt a Marble Demonic Bison then. Fang Mu, prepare some good marinade so we could use it during the barbecue!"

    "Same here, I will go out a try to look for a few special Essence spice and return with it, with the spice, the food would help us in recovering our body too!"

    Gu Pang and Wu Chung quickly agreed, and with haste, they immediately head out and start their hunting, as the time is not too early already.

    "I will bring some special sauces that my family used to prepare barbecue then.."

    Shi-Wen Qing speaks, and slowly return to her room together with Qing Yi.

    "Then, I guess I will look for anything available ?"

    Altima, the last one to speak, finished his word and return along with Fang Mu.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Argh!!! Damn it! Where is that Pang Yan when I need him the most ?"

    Shen Fei shouted, his cultivating strength recently soared. Roughly two weeks ago, his strength is still within the 7th stage Soul Practitioner of Zen Tier, but currently, he is in the middle of breaking through into the 9th Stage of Soul Practitioner of Zen Tier. As he had no more of the cultivating medicine, he had been running around looking for the medicinal Pang Yan should deliver a day ago.

    "Young Master, please be at ease, the porter had already gone out, bringing a total of 1,000 pots of the Powder Flower for the young alchemist to continue to concoct the medicinal pills for young master."

    "Ah, there he returns."

    "Quick, pass young master the medicine that Pang Yan concocts especially for young master."

    The butler timidly speaks toward the porter, and next, he passed the medicine to Shen Fei before excusing himself.

    "Nice! With this amount, I can quickly increase my cultivation to the peak of Soul Practitioner, and break through into the King Practitioner Soon!"

    Shen Fei happily consumes the medicinal pellets, and before he left..

    "Yeah, remember the previous two girls from the Fragrance Beauty Pavilion ?"

    "Bring them here, I will use them to celebrate the success of me breaking through the stage of 9th stage soon."

    Shen Fei finished his word before he returns to his training room.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Meanwhile within the Fragrance Beauty Pavilion.

    "Oh, my god! I would never imagine that after I screw you twice, I have a feeling of getting close to breaking through in my cultivation."

    A Spiritual Practitioner praised the "Deliciousness" of this beautiful lady known as Jue Xi before he left the room in satisfaction.

    "Next please!"

    Jue Xi shouted towards the lower floor, indicate that she could accept the next male to serve him sexually.

    "Sister Xi seems like you are on fire as well today."

    "I wonder who among us could serve more "Clients" today ?"

    Another lady known as Mei Lian, opened her door as well after a Spiritual Practitioner leaves with his sore "Bottom" from the exhausting session with her.

    "We shall see."

    Jue Xi replied, and with a guy entering her room, she shut her room tightly before started to howl in ecstasy.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "HA HA HA!"

    "You guys all deserve to die."

    "Continue, eat more, and bring more of this plants to me, with this, I will be able to make the whole Shen Family to be infected and ready to face their fate."

    "let me concoct a little more of the higher quality pills first, this one is for assurance, in case any of my sister or myself is infected as well."

    Pang Yan carefully refine the ingredient, and each time he concocts, many weird looking hairy tentacles could be seen squirming within the medicinal Pellet, before it is completed and placed within the medicine box.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On that night, the group happily having their meal altogether in a very cheerful atmosphere.

    Fang Mu proof to be an amazing cook, added with the Spices and sauces contributed by Shi-Wen Qing and Wu Chung, the meat that prepared for the barbecue is quickly finished, before the two Marble Demonic Bison hunted by Gu Pang is bisected and prepared as well.

    On the side, Qing Yi continuously pours the Wine she brew to everyone to enjoy, and the group of people quickly get tipsy from the strong alcoholic content within each jug.

    Meanwhile, for Altima, he went into his Private Cultivation farm, and harvest a few different river product from within, such as the Rockband River Conch that is rich with Yin Essence, and the Meaty Millipede that possess a good prawn-like texture meat, but came with a size as huge as a human''s leg.

    The group eats without stopping until all the food is cleared.

    Together, they started to discuss how they could utilize the Spatial Realm efficiently, where to place, and who to take control of the realm on behalf of the group.

    As the leader, Altima possessed the largest amount of resources in hand, included a personal spatial realm as well as his own Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace.

    The group continued, until Fang Mu actually withdraw a few pills as a gift to handover to his senior brother and sisters as a gratitude to let him being a part of the team, although he is the weakest one currently.

    But as he withdraws the few tempering pills, Mobi immediately active and give Altima a warning.

    "Stupid Altima, destroy that Medicinal Pills!"

    Altima hesitates for a moment, and immediately grabbed the pill, and toss it on the ground before he throws a Flaming Sun of Yang fireball to burn the pill into ashes.

    As the ashes started to get scattered by the wind, a few strands of hair like parasite is noticed, and become dead before they could move.

    "Brother Fang Mu, where had you received such medicinal pills ?"

    Altima felt like saying sorry, but from Mobi''s reaction, he trusts his brother reaction much more than worrying about will Fang Mu and the others felt insulted.

    "I previously lend a total of 10 Tempering pills to a practitioner that I get to know from Shen Family, this is half of the portion he returned to me, I just noticed that he had breakthrough two-stage above me as well, compared to when we have just entered the Clan."

    Fang Mu explained without hesitation.

    "Guys, This medicinal Pellet is not pure, if you ate it during cultivation, perhaps the parasite would infect and disrupt your body and its cultivation."

    "Please, let me check your medicinal pellets, and the next time, let me try and concoct for you instead if it''s related to medicinal pills."

    Altima speaks through his experience and offers his strength and how he could help them out, instead of allowing them to exchange for impure medicinal pills.

    After a thorough examination, Altima notices another 4 similar impure tempering pills within Fang Mu''s inventory, while one in Wu Chung''s and Qing Yi''s inventory.

    To be safe, Altima scanned their body as well, luckily no infection is found within.

    Immediately, he destroyed the tempering pills and had the others beware of such tempering pills, perhaps it is made by one same Alchemist.

    Ending their day, The Ferocious General''s Troops finally return to their respective room, and started to cultivate without worries as their big brother Altima had their inventories checked and no impure medicinal pills are found.

    But.

    Within the Spirit Beast Clan, and the outskirt of the Outer city of Flame Lion Ancient Kingdom, the situation is getting worst each single day.

    It has been reported that a few death between the practitioners is founded, with the essence within their body is totally sucked away, leaving only a dried, mummified corpses on the ground, or within the practitioner''s room. This issue not only affected the practitioners but even two most popular prostitute in the Fragrance Beauty Pavilion.

    Jue Xi and Mei Lian.

    From the initial inspection, the public enforcement manage to get close to the clues, where the similarity between the practitioners and the two popular prostitute is all of them is mummified, emptied from any essence within the body, their internal organs and other parts of the body is filled with dead parasites that looked as thin as a human''s hair and all the dead corpses had is clients for this two prostitutes.

    The condition started to get worse, where it caused the whole Fragrance Beauty Pavilion started to get isolated and later is burned to ashes, because two more prostitute is dead, reported with the same condition like the previous few corpses.

    Soon, another huge number, around 60 practitioners and 200 normal peasants, is dead with the same symptom, where all of them is mummified and dried from any essence undulation. With this disease is passed along the city outskirt, the Flame Lion Ancient Kingdom started to issue an emergency situation, and quickly have that particular area of the city is isolated, and leave to handle the matter themselves.

    Very quickly, the death toll increased to 200 practitioners is dead, while about 1,500 normal peasants have their life taken away too from the disease, where the reason is unknown. Next, the Fragrance Beauty Pavilion is burnt to ashes, and all the remaining people working with the pavilion is captured and imprisoned within the Outskirt''s prison.

    Although the pavilion has been burnt, and most of the prostitutes within had been brutally killed as well, but this doesn¡¯t reduce the death toll.

    A few days later, another report of about 500 practitioners is dead, and the city population is down for a whole 7,000 peasants is dead.

    Then condition keeps getting worst, causing the City Lord of this Area 13th started to get nervous and impatience, and forced to look for solutions with the Spirit Beast Clan.

    But as the City Lord reached the Spirit Beast Clan, an unexpected situation is actually placed within his eyes as well.

    Corpses are brought out towards and open area to be burned.

    At least thousands of practitioners are reportedly dead from the parasite disease.

    Believed to be the host of the first carrier, The Shen family''s Shen Fei is currently burned on a stake, due to the changes of appearance happen to his face, where his hair and body started to have many hairs like parasite growing out from his body, replacing all his body hair.

    "Argh! I will make sure you all with receive the same fate like I do!"

    Shen Fei is burned alive, and as he struggles on the stake, the parasite within his body is struggling to crawl from his body, and causing his skin to have holes penetrated from within, and bleeding without stopping.

    Soon, the body is burnt into ashes, and being scattered by the winds.

    Pang Yan, standing on the far end of the central plaza, smirk as he is satisfied with what happened on Shen Fei.

    But as Pang Yan turn around, the Shen Family appeared behind him, and immediately capture him and bring him into the Shen Family, to be questioned.

    Meanwhile, for Altima, after witnessing the quick and swift turnover, immediately move along his way, and followed secretly and enter the Shen Family building without spotted by any guards.

    "Pang Yan, what had you done with the Medicinal pills ?"

    "Quickly pass out the Antidote for this parasitic disease, or else we will torture you to death!"

    Two elders of the Shen family is giving Pang Yan clawing strikes, causing his body to be bleeding from all over his body.

    If this continued, Pang Yan will soon to be dead from the excessive blood loss.

    "Ptuih! Kill me if you want, but your Shen Family will be dying soon as well! HA HA HA!"

    Pang Yan spit a mouthful of blood towards the face of the elder and continued to be clawed by them even more ferociously.

    Soon, Pang Yan fainted, his blood loss had reached a critical level, if no treatment is given soon, Pang Yan will end up really be dead.

    "Stop this action immediately!"

    Altima charged toward the center hall and tossed a few new Water Dragon Cannon into a few different directions. As the weapon explode, it generates a few different formation and strength, blocking the elder from recognizing the savior and from giving them a chase.

    But Altima is facing similar difficulties too.

    Pang Yan blood loss had reached a critical level, and soon to be dead, if Altima does not take action to save him now, Pang Yan will leave this world without handling over the antidote to cure this disease.

    In another side of the concern, Altima is pursued by the Shen Family guards and elite fighters, escape will be second to impossible, depending only on his cultivation and capability.

    "I hope this worth all the investments!"

    Altima leaps through the wall separating the outer area and inner area and quickly enter his Private Cultivation Farm.

    Within the farm, Altima immediately applies numerous amount of Scarlet Scales that obtained from the Scarlet King Medicinal Cobra, to stop all the bleeding, and next, Altima had the elves to contribute a portion of their blood to save this human.

    "Senior Brother Pang, please wake up, if this disease is created by you, you must cure it before you decided to leave this world."

    "Senior Brother Pang, please, listen to my heed, and return to the kind brother Pang that I used to know when I just entered the Medicinal Hall to help."

    Altima speaks to Pang Yan and hopes that his voices could reach deep within Pang Yan''s hatred heart.

    Current Contribution Points: 20,210

 Chapter 101 - Curing the Parasitic Medicinal Disease!

    "Senior Brother Pang Yan!"

    "Come on! Wake up and let us cure this disease, you are an Alchemist, not a murderer!"

    But to no avail, Altima''s voice doesn¡¯t reach any of Pang Yan''s sense, and he still in the coma due to the serious blood loss earlier.

    Hesitating but Altima knows that he needed to take some actions toward this incident, where he sneakily return to the spot he came from. Realizing there are no guards or whatsoever, Altima quickly makes a route directly towards Pang household and noticed that even the Pang Family is fallen to the disease.

    Altima thoroughly checks the members and soon, noticed that there is a total of 3 Living "Dolls" seated outside comfortable within a place believed to be Pang Yan''s personal residence.

    He runs a scan with Mobi''s help and noticed that within the whole household, only the butler, and the three sisters have no Parasite within their body. Through this, Altima could deduce that this three sister and the butler is the most important person to Pang Yan.

    Altima quickly transfers them into the Cultivation Farm, and rummages Pang Yan''s personal residence and grabbing all related treasure and medicinal ingredients that might be related to the disease, including the stem Flower that fully grown and infested with parasites.

    In the same time, Altima manage to noticed a scroll that placed aside in the room, written the Parasitic Medicinal Disease on the scroll clutches.

    "This must be the origin of all the parasites!"

    Altima kept the scroll, and quickly leave the Pang Household, and return to his own accommodation. After he speaks and passes on a few details to Wu Chung and Gu Pang, who coincidently is together from the moment they met, Altima entered his room, and continue to his Cultivation Farm.

    Within the farm, Altima noticed that the three sisters condition is getting slightly better, but still Catatonic, perhaps its was due to the incident happen not long ago. But for Altima, this is all not important, except having Pang Yan recover and quickly wakes up to explain the whole situation.

    "Brother Mobi, do you think it''s too rash to bring them into my Personal Cultivation Farm without any consent from you before I decide ?"

    Altima finishes handling his matter, but in between, he forgets about one most important issues.

    Making a decision without consulting Mobi on his actions, does this means that Mobi no longer has any rights to handle this matter, or does this means that Mobi is not qualified to comment Altima in his method to handle certain matters?

    "Silly Altima, If I don¡¯t allow it, even you can''t enter the cultivation farm!"

    "I know my brother and his heart on how he treat others."

    "Don¡¯t worry, Be it for good, bad, risky or worst, I''m with you."

    Mobi replied, but his word immediately places Altima in the mood almost to be drowned with tears.

    Reincarnate.

    Trust.

    Faith.

    Altima who had two lifetimes currently was only yearning for this little thing that makes him continued to move on. Not only he currently manages to have a tribe of goblins that faithfully follow him in all his decision, he even handling a tribe of elves, that place him in the position higher than their own gods.

    Plus with Mo Yue, Scarlet King, and Tian, Altima felt that he is capable of facing all kind of threats, but no matter what, nothing could cover the scar that caused by the betrayal he faced in his previous life.

    Altima stares deeply towards Mobi, and soon, a white reptilian figure appeared between the two.

    "Tian, why are you here ?"

    This Celestial Origin Dragon actually moves out from his nest and running around to play.

    As he saw Pang Yan''s condition, Tian make a few circle around his body, before he started to "Pee" onto Pang Yan!

    "No Tian, Stop! That¡¯s a friend!"

    Splashhh!

    How can on expect, a merely about 1,000 Jin of weight dragon actually could "Pee" in such ridiculous amount, making Pang Yan is wet thoroughly in just seconds.

    But a miraculous thing happens not only once, where Pang Yan slowly shows some sign of awakening from his coma.

    Without muttering any noise, Tian floats toward the three sisters, and quickly attract their attention.

    Upon seeing the pure whitish facial expression of the dragon, the three sisters started to get more playful and relaxed, and soon, the group of 4 slowly getting farther from where they initially met.

    "This Tian, seriously sometimes even myself can''t configure what he is capable of."

    Without wasting any time now, Altima quickly researches the Scroll and study the secrets while waiting for Pang Yan to wake up from his coma.The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

    Very quickly, a total of half week had passed, where Altima finally learned the method to overcome the Parasitic Medicinal Disease. He quickly produces a large amount of Antidote, based on the basic ingredient that was infested and thoroughly concoct them into a Late Medicinal Grade pills.

    In his first initial Batch, Altima manage to prepared a total of 10,000 pellets to be delivered to ensure everyone within the Spirit Beast Clan would be able to be cured of this disease. Only after the Clan members is totally out of this parasite, could Altima plan for assisting the Flame Lion Ancient Kingdom.

    Other than this Antidote, Altima had prepared a total of 50,000 simple Parasite controlling medicine as well, to reduce the symptoms and the infection rate during the controlling stages.

    In the same time after Altima left Wu Chung and Gu Pang from half week ago, the duo quickly proceeds to deliver a message from Altima to the Elder Ling Family, requesting support from the Ling Family to assist Altima in concocting the antidote to cure the disease.

    As Altima exit from his room, he saw a few different practitioner, notably through their attire, originally for the core disciple.

    "Younger Junior, are you ready to follow us to the Ling Family ?"

    The two Core disciple escort Altima personally towards the Ling Family building, and within, Altima saw a few familiar faces, especially Elder Ling Hu.

    "This junior greets Elder Ling Hu. Thank you again for the Scarlet King elder obtained for me as my enrolment gift."

    Altima greets Ling Hu the first moment he saw him.

    "Ha Ha Ha! Kid, I heard that your new established Ferocious General''s Troops is quite fiery at the moment. Did you agreed to accept the Mission to Marsh of Boiling Bloods ?"

    Ling Hu gave praise to Altima''s little achievement and quickly inquire on their next decision on their next mission.

    "We decided to take it, but since the current situation is not too positive, we decided to postpone it for a while and increase our cultivation first."

    Altima answered.

    "Good! If in that case, this Elder have a special request that would need your expertise."

    Ling Hu continued.

    "Please state your request, This junior will do his best to succeed elder''s request."

    Altima confidently accepts the request.

    "Actually My Frost Mountain Monarch Hawk loved to drink the Hot Blood Spring from the Marsh. But due to this disease matter is the priority at the moment, I am forced to stay within the clan. And now, even Monarch Hawk had run away from home because she is angry at me for not getting her the Hot Blood Spring."

    Elder Ling Hu states his request.

    "Elder, no worries, this young one will make sure he will obtain enough Hot Blood Spring for Monarch Hawk to enjoy."

    Altima accepted the request, and next, he withdraws a total of 10,000 of the Antidote to cure the Parasitic Medicinal Disease, and another 50,000 Parasite controlling pellet and handover to Elder Ling Hu and allows him to use the medicine as required.

    In return, Altima receives the same amount of replacement of ingredients within a spatial ring, to allows him to continue to concoct the antidote so this disease could be cured. And also at the same time, Altima had elder Ling Hu to understand the situation, and to secretly place Pang Family as one of the deceased family.

    To protect Pang Yan and his three sisters as well the butler, Altima has no choice, but to fake their death, and have them resides within the Cultivation Farm to live on.

    But as Altima is preparing to leave the Ling Household, some unexpected guest arrived within the building uninvited.

    "Stop right there!"

    One Emperor of Zen Tier cultivator stopped everyone from leaving the reception hall.

    "Oh, Junior brother Shen Tu, what brings the Shen Family here to our small Ling Family House ?"

    Elder Ling Hu replied, but indirectly stands beside Altima, protecting him from any Emperor Tier pressure.

    "I heard that the young disciple Altima is pretty good in his Alchemy technique, so I am considering about asking him to be the Shen Family guest and concoct us a few medicinal pills in exchange of some contribution points."

    Honorary Elder Shen Tu speaks indirectly, but as he speaks, he doesn''t even pay a single attention to Altima.

    "This Elder Shen goodwill is received, but I''m afraid I would have to reject it for now."

    Altima replied the Elder''s request to be their guest.

    "Junior, don¡¯t you dare push away the chances higher ups tried to give you! Do you think that you have the qualification to do so ?"

    The Elder Shen Tu getting ridiculously offended and tried to lecture Altima''s choice of words.

    "Well, you two, let this little argument stops here."

    "Junior Brother Shen, Altima recently received a big order from the Ling Family, and this issue is related to controlling the disease."

    "I''m afraid this time you are here at the wrong time and worthless efforts."

    Elder Ling Hu protect Altima directly and helps him to deter the persistent approached to recruit Altima.

    "Ling Hu, Do you think that our Shen Family is just for show ?"

    Shen Tu started to get aggressive.

    "Junior Brother, are you intend to start a fight between family when the Spirit Beast Clan is in a disastrous situation now ?"

    "I can see that Junior Brother doesn¡¯t seem to be affected by the parasite, perhaps the Shen Family have the antidote long time ago, so you could control the parasite ?"

    Elder Ling continued.

    "Stop spewing your pointless bullshit, Ling Hu!"

    "Fine, I will let it go for now, but Outer Clan Disciple Altima, you can reject me for now, but when can you continue rejecting? I will await the day you are kneeling in front of the Shen Family asking for a chance."

    Shen Tu continued, and as he finished, he left the Ling Family Household in a hurry.

    "Younger one, only within a month in the Clan and you already started to create some troublesome enemy, your path from here won''t be smooth."

    Elder Ling Hu comments, but as he finishes, he places this issue with no importance, and quickly direct the antidotes and the Parasite Controlling Pellets to the relevant important person, before he delegates it to the younger and other remaining disciple.

    Of course, the Shen Family will be the last or ignored completely, as the Ling Family intention is to weaken their forces by a little before they move on.

    Altima returned to his room before he continued with his Antidote concoction.

    As he looks at Pang Yan who Is still in his Coma, Altima sighed for a little, before he met the butler and speak a few words.

    "The Pang Family is listed as the deceased family affected terribly by the Disease."

    "From now onwards, all five of you is listed as a dead person within the world, do you understand ?"

    Altima speaks to the butler, as he knows the butler is trustable and will be able to handle this issue better than the others.

    "No worries, young lord, from the moment we left the Pang Household, we already expect that we will lose something."

    "Just a record of us being alive before, it is nothing important. Most important is my three young miss and my young master are managed to survive."

    "Young lord, do not worry about us, one day, all four of them will return to normal, and by that time, this all will be better."

    The butler easily accepted the news regarding their identity, their family and what will happen to them. But from his facial expression, one could understand how deep is his loyalty towards the Pang Household, for him to remain faithful to his young missus and young master.

    Altima looked around and noticed that Tian is still enjoying playing around with the three sisters. Occasionally tease the trio one after another, the sisters started to get much more cheerful, compared to their dull deadly expression earlier when he rescued all of them.

 Chapter 102 - Surprises Come in Double!

    Although Altima has few different task is placed on his shoulder that he would be required to take care of, but Altima never once neglects the Daily martial art and cultivation practices.

    As usual, Altima repeats the similar sequence he often follows along during his training.

    But today, something slightly different happened within his path of Martial Art practice.

    Altima continuously practices and tried to master the martial art, and trying to reach the state of "One With Martial Arts".

    He repeatedly practice the Iron Plate Body Tempering Art that he obtained in the Sun and Moon Great City, together with the Monk Spiritual Mind Art, Zhen Wu Golden Bell Technique, and the Demonic Body Enhancement Art, and finally, after being refining this four Body tempering Martial Arts together, Altima manage to combine and further refine this art into a higher and deeper mastery Martial Arts.

    Obtaining the new Martial Art, Altima wastes no time but starts to practice the art as soon as possible.

    Although the differences between the newly refined martial art are not too huge, but for a Spiritual Stage cultivator to practice and master a Soul Stage martial art, is still a difficult challenge. Altima spent almost one whole day without rest, trying to decipher and obtain some enlightenment for this martial art.

    But to his disappointment, Altima couldn¡¯t even manage to found the first entrance to allow him to start his practice in the Golden Nirvana Body and Mind Preliminary Stage.

    "The difficulties of understanding this martial art exceed my martial understanding. If this continues, I will waste much time trying to study something in the wrong way, and end up cultivate in a wrong path later."

    Altima understands that this issue cannot be rushed, so he decided to place this martial aside while continuing with his other martial arts training once again.

    To his surprise once again, one higher rank martial art is refined within his mind, and shown directly within the interface!

    "Unexpectedly, I had spent so much training to increase the martial arts I possess, and here it goes, both come at the same time!"

    "Aren''t this martial art similar to the Seven Harm Fist that used to be deadly within the Kong Tong Sect in my previous world ?"

    Altima suddenly remembered the martial arts he used to learn during his past lives.

    Receiving the two newly refined Martial Arts, Altima current condition is partially happy and partially sad.

    Although he received two newly refined martial arts, but since both of them is at the Soul Stage, Altima would require spending more time to slowly understand and uncover the secret and depth of the martial arts before he could master it into perfection.

    Hesitant for a little, Altima stopped practicing his martial arts. And entered the Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.

    Within the palace realm, Altima quickly refines the Extreme Extracts, thoroughly strengthening the Inner Palace, allowing the produce within grow at a quick pace.

    Since it has been about 10 days without refinement of essence within the Inner Palace, thus Altima have conserved plenty of Extreme Extracts to slowly refine within the Realm. As he continued, Altima noticed a slight change in his ability to refine and absorb the Yin and Yang Essence.

    After Refining the Yin and Yang Essence into Extreme Extracts, and later refine them again within the Inner Palace, this procedure had increased Altima''s body ability to conserve and condense the Yin and Yang Essence into a better quality works even better.

    If this improvement continued, soon, Altima could use his body to act as the medium to convert and refine much condensed Yin and Yang Essence, before he preserves them in future usage. In the same time, Altima noticed one more new options for him as well.

    Since the Ferocious General''s Troops have their own Thunder Realm at the moment, and added with Altima''s newly refined Royal Protector Nirvana Body and Mind Technique, Altima could utilize the Thunder Realm''s thunderous essence to temper his body, and increase the possibility to increase his Martial Art mastery, while in the same time, refining the extra Lightning Essence into Thunder Tempering Pellets, so he could use it to refill his Nirvana Body and Mind enchantment.

    As he refines the Yin and Yang Essence without slacking, very soon, a bright light shone from the Tree of Longevity, and next in the Pond of Prosperity as well.

    A fragrant Aroma is released from the tree, making the whole Palace Realm is filled with the sweet as Nectar fragrance. Even Silvia, who lying still outside the Inner Palace Entrance is awakened from smelling the sweet flavor.

    "AooWuu!"

    Silvia howls, as she sped towards Altima''s location.

    After cultivating within the Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace for a period of time, Silvia''s body had significantly grown.

    Compared to a Lion size during the moment she entered the Inner Palace, now Silvia possessed a body as tall as a stallion, weight around 1,400 Jin. Her tail grown from six-tail into a seven-tailed Silver Fox. While for her cultivation, She is currently in her Early of Spiritual Stage, believed to be breaking into the Middle of Spiritual Stage soon if she is given another few more month of time.

    Looking at how much Silvia had grown, Altima remembered the period of time when Silvia runs to his side, and lick his palm and tried to get Altima to pat her head. Currently, Silvia had grown, even by her fours, Silvia still possessed a height higher than Altima, and instead of getting Altima to pat her head, She reserves the right to lick Altima face instead.

    As Altima walked Silvia along his way, both of them quickly reach the place where the Tree of Longevity is planted, and staring at the Spiritual Maturation Fruit. Immediately, Altima run a scan towards that fruit, while Silvia, within a blink of an eye, already had the fruit nicely plucked and bring it to Altima''s reach.

    Spiritual Maturation Fruit - Peak Spiritual Stage of Zen Tier Treasure

    Description: The Spiritual Maturation Fruit will only grow from a Tree of Longevity if it constantly feeds and replenish with sufficient Yin and Yang Essence. The period of maturity is depending on the number of times the Fruit is feed with the Yin and Yang Essence. The lesser the times of feeding is required, the better the quality of the fruit. Upon consumption, this fruit will instantly assist in creating a Spiritual Body, allowing one cultivator to enhance one grade in its cultivation.

    Altima keeps the fruit in the Spatial Realm and slowly walk to the Pond of Prosperity to retrieve the second treasure that matured within the pond.

    Without required to speak anything, Silvia leap and dive into the pond, charging like a diving torpedo straight to the bottom of the pond, and look around the bed of corals to search for a pearl. But to no avail, since Silvia have no idea what treasure that is, it failed to found the item match with what she was thinking.

    Altima dive into the pool next, after noticing Silvia is diving blindly, looking for all the wrong things.

    The duo slowly snorkels around, holding their breath and soon, they found a gigantic Clam, at least at a size of a great white Shark, licking the sand all around it, slowly eating all the planktons and shrimps that got caught on its tongue.

    Altima walks even closer, and the clam automatically opens its shell wide, revealing a shining and milky white Pearl, with the size at least about a Melon Fruit.

    Altima places his hand on the pearl, and gently withdraw the pearl from the middle of the clam''s flesh, and as he manages to place it on his chest, the clam quickly shuts its shell and swims away without anymore reaction towards Altima and Silvia duo.

    Altima run a scan, as he slowly returns back to the surface, as he reaches the surface, Altima is nicely greeted by Tian, that stands firmly on the side of the pond, drooling like he saw the world''s most delicious delicacies.

    "Tian, what are you doing here ?"

    Altima feels weird with Tian appearance within this Inner Palace.

    "No, wait! Tian how the hell did you manage to come into this realm ?"

    Altima started to become shocked with Tian''s ability to enter this Inner Palace Realm.

    "Slurps... Garu!"

    Tian drools soon overflow and touch the ground, and with that, Tian quickly leaps into Altima''s direction, with the mouth opened wide to ready to swallow the pearl within Altima''s hand.

    "Oh, my god! This dragon started to learn how to hunt for his food!"

    Altima escapes from Tian''s reach, and quickly run around up and down within the Inner Palace, protecting the pearl from getting eaten by Tian.

    But weirdly, Tian activity and performance only getting faster, stronger and better each time he and Altima almost crashed towards each other.

    In that instance, Tian body suddenly have a light shine within, and covering its body as if his white body is made by translucent glasses. The shining light flashed like a rainbow, and quickly vanished, without any trace, except a new notice is appearing within Altima''s Interface.

    "What is this notice ?"

    Altima attention diverted for a second, and in the next moment, the pearl between his arm and chest is missing from his hug.

    Altima turned around, and looking at how that hungry dragon swallow that pearl that as big as his mouth, and slowly enter his stomach.

    "Burp!"

    Tian burped, and release a smile expression stating how full and satisfy his face is.

    "You damn dragon, you seriously swallow the whole pearl without leaving a little for me to use!"

    Altima is totally speechless, after seeing how this dragon behave.

    As he turns around and checks on the notice within the interface.

    And Altima read his second notice.

    Empress of Lake Leaping Pearl (Zen Tier Culinary Treasure)

    Description: Only obtainable through the rare Culinary Empress Clam, this Empress of Lake Leaping Pearl is one of the best but a common product that produced by the Culinary Empress Clam as long she manage to eat enough organism to form the pearl. This pearl is treated as the sixth flavor within the culinary world, only A little-grounded powder is required to enhance the food and bring it to a Zen Grade Culinary dish.

    Rumoured that this Pearl is one of the most beloved foods that used to be presented to the legendary Celestial Origin Dragon, and often preserved in a whole pearl as a ritual gift each time a Celestial Origin Dragon make their way towards the Rumanian to give out some blessing.

    "Hell! I actually fight with Tian just for the sake of his beloved food!"

    Altima almost faints, after imagining that the treasure in his hand is some important or precious ingredients for concoction or cultivation.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In Tian''s Mind.

    Today Master is playing with Tian, Tian is so happy!

    When running here and there, Tian finally grows up after having so many energies kept within Tian''s body.

    Next time I must play with Master more.

    When I poop later, I must go to the two dragon plant and poop beside them.

    I think the two plant is going to get crazy when they saw my poop beside their roots.

    Ha Ha Ha!

    Tian is going to poop beside that two big plant!

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Seriously ??

    Altima wake up just to see two shining bright feces released by a lazy dragon, lying on the side of the Emperor Dragon Root and Monarch Dragon Marrow plants.

    Faint.

    That¡¯s Altima''s first reaction when he saw how naughty Tian could be.

 Chapter 103 - Outer Disciple Ranking Placement! Special Treatment ?

    Altima sighed, but unable to do anything towards Tian''s rebellious attitude.

    He spent another few day within the realm for cultivation, and soon, exited the realm and return to the origin world.

    Altima repeats the similar procedure like last time, where he is escorted by two Core Disciple along on his way towards the Ling Family Household.

    Passing a total of 30,000 Antidotes and the 100,000 Parasite Controlling Pellets, Altima retrieve an exchange for another type of ingredients and materials before he excuses himself and heads to the exchange hall once again.

    "Senior Brother, can I inquiry for any metal products that¡¯s available for exchange? It doesn¡¯t need to be specialized in any aspect, but as long its acceptable metals."

    Altima speaks to the Exchange Hall Attendant, and soon, the senior brother retrieves a list written on a parchment and give it to Altima for viewing.

    Low-Quality Briolite Crumbles / 2 CP each

    Item Description: The lowest grade of Briolite Ores, hardly refined by Blacksmith due to the time consuming and much attention is required to extract a low amount of Molten Briolite.

    Tainted Quality Briolite Ingots / 5 CP each

    Item Description: Tainted quality Briolite Ingots is not the best choices to smelt into a weapon or equipment, but when the material is expensive and difficult to obtain, even the worst quality Ingots would work.

    Item Description: Briolite Doubloon is treated as trading currency within the world among blacksmith. But the failure products, are only usable to be a replacement in sharpening and refining existing Briolite tools. Fragile and easily crack. This Doubloon required much work and effort to further refine it into a better quality Doubloons.

    Altima checked on the list for a while and soon decided to change as much as he could through spending his hard earned points from the previous subjugating mission.

    "Senior Brother, can I change all available points into the Low-Quality Briolite Crumbles, and the Basic Quality Briolite Shards ?"

    Altima requests politely towards the Senior brother.

    "Are you sure, Junior brother? You have loads of points, it is better if you decided to exchange it into some better material."

    The senior brother is shocked with Altima''s choices. But as he thinks that Altima might use this material to further increasing his blacksmithing proficiency, he decided to advise Altima to make a selection again.

    "I''m sure, Senior Brother. This stack of lowest Quality materials is the best to use during training and practices."

    Altima replied confidently.

    "Currently in the warehouse, there is a total of 2,000 Units of each material you are asking for."

    "So the total will be 16,000 altogether. Here you go, Junior Brother."

    The Attendant quickly passes a spatial ring to Altima and return to his own duties.

    With the newly obtained materials, Altima makes haste to return to his room, before he stumbles across Qing Yi, Shi-Wen Qing, and Fang Mu.

    "Big Brother Altima!"

    Fang Mu, being the youngest among all greets Altima first.

    The others started to talk, and soon they arrived at the Martial Square where all the disciple is participating in the Square Matches.

    "Why is there so many disciples within the square today ?"

    Altima asked.

    "Brother Altima, are you serious? It¡¯s the Outer Disciple Ranking Placement! Everyone is over here to compete and trying to obtain good results so their benefits within the outer clan are better!"

    Qing Yi answered Altima''s question.

    "What? The Ranking Placement ?"

    Altima is shocked. Suddenly, he remembered about the deal he had with the 4 Ling Elders.

    If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

    First Task is to obtain the highest contribution points among the Outer Clan Disciple and promoted into the Inner Clan Disciple within 1 year.

    Currently, One month had passed, and based on his ranking, Altima is roughly placed within the top 10,000 Disciples in term of contribution points, and top 20,000 in term of Battle Ranking.

    "What is the requirement to participate? And how does the grading system works ?"

    Altima inquiries about the terms and condition to participate in the ranking matches.

    "Brother Altima, you are a totally blank piece of paper regarding this matter."

    "Let me, the Information Walking Scroll update you!"

    Qing Yi promotes her specialty once again, with a different title, and started to explain the essence of the ranking battle to Altima in the most simple way.

    This Ranking battle will be conducted once every half a week. Participants that participate in the ranking battle, can be exempted from being challenged once for each success participation, to reserved as a recuperating period.

    The number of Wins and Knock-Out will determine your placement within the Ranking. Every once a month, the disciple that positioned in the top seats will be rewarded with a large amount of resources, ingredients, treasures and other specially requested items.

    Of course, if the top seat disciple is taken down by the lower seat disciple, the total item still remains within the disciple inventory will be handover to the new winner. This tradition will go along for one full year before the Clan decides a number of the disciple to be qualified to be promoted into the Inner Clan.

    Of course, the better seat you are placed within the ranking, the better benefits will come together. Through a rough guidance from what explained by the elders...

    As he gets educated with plenty of basic knowledge regarding the Ranking Placement Match, Altima quickly felt interested, and without listening further, he quickly rushes towards the center of the Stage and withdraws his replacement Briolite Soulless Spear.

    "I am Altima, anyone who is interested in sparring with me, make your move!"

    Altima loudly announces his intention.

    "Finally, some kid with a backbone willing to stand on stage."

    An elder that handling the match registration and records speaks.

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    "Martial Brother! I am Pang Jun, let us exchange a few move, please advise!"

    "Brother Pang Jun, Please!"

    (Triple Sweeping Kick!)

    Pang Jun twist his body along with his both leg and quickly create a turning wheel charging to Altima.

    Altima returns a counter attack at the same time.

    (Small Wheel of Tai Ji)

    Pang Jun staggered for a little and praised Altima within his heart.

    "What a strong strength, did he manage to form a Spiritual Lower Limbs already ?"

    The two continue to fight, and as he sees the chances, Altima charge towards Pang Jun to deal a final deciding strike.

    (Thousand-Hand Buddha Palm!)

    Altima''s attack cause Pang Jun to lost his balance, and tumble backward toward the bottom of the stage.

    Altima looks directly on Pang Jun and clasps his hand together, but before he finishes his gesture, a strong wave of wind came from behind.

    "Ma Yun from the Ma Household asking for advice!"

    Ma Yun charge straight towards Altima with his Bronze Red Spear, while Altima makes an 180 degrees turn, along with his spear to clash directly with Ma Yun''s.

    Both of them is bounced backward from the clashing force, but Altima manages to obtain an advantage due to his Royal Protector Nirvana Body and Mind Technique.

    "Such a strong body strength!"

    Ma Yun immediately readjusts his posture and preparing for a direct strike.

    "This match will be won by that Altima kid as well, too bad, too bad. This kid is taken into interest by the (LING) and the (SHEN). I guess we from the (MING) will have difficulties to grab this talent away."

    "Hmm ?"

    Based on his experience, this elder from the (MING) faction could roughly guess the outcome of this match and sighed as the (MING) Faction is a step slower to realize this young talent. But at the same time, something happened in between of the match as well.

    "Martial Brother Altima, Please pardon me and my intrusion! I am Yue Tian, a spear user as well!"

    "Brother Yu, please advise!"

    Yue Tian quickly charges toward the stage as well, wielding his spear and preparing for a straight charge as well, alongside with Ma Yun in two different directions, looking forward to how Altima will repel their attack. In the same time, Altima accepted their challenge.

    "Since this is so fun, why not include us along the sparring match!"

    "Brother Altima, this older brother here is name Qin Bing, nice to make an acquaintance with you!"

    "Roshan here, please advise!"

    Two more disciples entered the stage, with their arrangement of a square lock, Altima is totally tied with four charging spears that will strike anytime.

    "Brothers! Please be careful with this strike!"

    Altima turns his spear, forming an infinity shape flow. As he moves his spear, the surrounding spectators are starting to seeing a formation quickly formed within the middle of the stage.

    "Such young age, and yet he dare to form a formation when locked by four sides! What a Talent! A good Talent!"

    The elder praise Altima within his heart.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Far from the square, two Elder stands high up on the edge of the Roof above the Martial Pagoda and watching this interesting sparring match together.

    "Martial Brother Ming He, what do you think ?"

    Asked another Elder who stands beside him. If one would take a look clearly, this Elder is the one Altima met during the moment he step into the Spirit Beast Clan, Senior Elder Ling Kun.

    "That talent of his will make him the most wanted disciple to be obtained by the four factions."

    Elder Ming He replied.

    "Which is why, I am politely asking Martial Brother Ming He to cooperate with the Ling Family, through this way, we could preserve one talent to bring two families to the top, instead of fighting against each other like how the Ling and Shen are at this stage."

    Senior Elder Ling Kun continued.

    "Martial Brother Ling Kun, I know what is in your mind. The (SHEN) and (LING) is in a stalemate for quite long due to the comparable strength and force within your practitioners, that¡¯s why you two are working hard to obtain the (MING) support. After all, the (CHEN) always remains natural due to their sensitive position as the Patriarch family of the Spirit Beast Clan."

    "But the (MING) will still stand in between of you two. As long none of you two is going into a war, the (MING) will not participate or support whichever side."

    Elder Ming He replied, and as he finishes, he slowly vanished from the tip of the Martial Pagoda he is standing on a while ago.

    "The (MING) is still being stubborn, but without their support alongside with the Flame Lion Ancient Kingdom, it would be very difficult to obtain advantages between the (SHEN) and the (LING)."

    Elder Ling Kun speaks to himself, before he vanished as well, without any trace.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (Curving Moon Spear Art! Strengthened with the Sea Wave Mastery Formation!)

    Altima notices a quadruple strike launched from all four directions, and instantly, he launches his own defensive and offensive skills as well, before he leaped upwards.

    The strike from the Curving Moon Spear Art repel the direct strike from the four, and through utilizing the Sea Wave Mastery formation, the direct striking point of theirs is affected greatly, allowing their coordination of attack failed to receive its expected results.

    As for Altima who leaped outwards, Altima chooses to retaliate instead of escaping from formation he builds.

    (Myriad Changing Form Art, Yang Mortal Skill, Third Stance of Yuan Wu Spear of Castle Breaking!)

    "Break!"

    "Kaboom!"

    Altima spear attack quickly charges downwards, focusing on the center point where the wind is concentrated within the core. A point blank strike is laid on the Core, and in exchange, the Core of Wind quickly repel all external force that tried to enter within, and pushing all 4 other practitioners backward, receiving some injuries.

    "Elders! Please take care of the martial brothers!"

    Altima move towards one of them, while another 3 elder move towards the other three junior disciples, and quickly provide them a medicinal pill to enhance their recovery.

    After stopping for a brief moment, the 5 of them returned to the middle of the stage, and politely bowed towards each other.

    "Thank you for the exchange."

    "Thank you for giving such plentiful experience during the sparring."

    "Thank you."

    They exchange their greetings politely and soon disperse along to their own path. Altima left the Martial Square along with Qing Yi and Fang Mu, but not before an elder toss a piece of a token to Altima.

    "This is your proof of 5 Victories among 5 Matches. Keep it as proof that you participate in the Disciple Ranking Placement Match."

    The Elder finish his word and leave without any more comments.

    "This Junior Disciple thanks Elder for your time and effort."

    Altima greets the elder loudly, before turning around and leave.

    "This kid, seriously know how to show his respect in every aspect, what a talent and attitude, only such way a person could gain the most benefit in everything."

    The elder secretly praises Altima in his mind, before he continued to monitor the Ranking Placement Match.

 Chapter 104 - Travelling to Flame Lion Ancient Kingdom, 13th State City

    In the next few weeks, Altima continued to concoct the Antidote to cure the Disease without stopping. Although Altima manages to create a good impression towards the Spirit Beast Clan, but nevertheless, this reputation is only visible within the Spirit Beast Clan, and not towards the Flame Lion Ancient Kingdom.

    Once during Altima delivery of Antidotes toward the Ling Family House, Altima manage to encounter a few Guards under the task to protect the City Lord of the Area 13th of the Ancient Kingdom. After a short moment of idle chatting, Altima roughly understands how the ancient kingdom works.

    Within the kingdom, a proper hierarchy is followed, starting from the Emperor and his empress, taking over the highest position within the kingdom.

    Coming down after the Emperor and Empress, is the 4 Grand Duke, controlling the region of East, West, South and North.

    After the 4 Grand Duke, would be the 12 Elder Duke under the each Grand Duke, total up into 48 Elder Dukes. The Elder Dukes controls and manage a smaller state, consist of a few smaller city within.

    While under the Elder Dukes, roughly a total of 3 different City Lord will be placed on his control, ensuring the states flourish under his control and contributes to the Elder Duke before it is presented to the higher-ups.

    Sometimes, The competition between the City Lord is inevitable, so some small war between city and states is often seen within the Ancient Kingdom. Fights for land, resources and good potential cultivators is one of the main reason the war happened all the time, while some stronger power behind the city, such as some smaller Martial Clan, or Smaller Alliances, would be the main force when the war happened.

    While for the Spirit Beast Clan, the enrollment period often start at the end of the year, where many smaller Sect and Clan will do their best to send their cultivators above Master Stage of Zen Tier to try their luck, and with each success candidates, the Clan would benefits in a longer run, due to the difference of resources and number of cultivating resources they could trade off for.

    Which is why, within the Spirit Beast Clan, some smaller group often band up together, especially for the more organized states, to create a stronger link and allows their state to grow without difficulties.

    Due to this kind of situation is similar around the whole Flame Forest Continent, fighting and war to obtain more land, resources, and martial treasures are often seen throughout the whole year.

    Altima entered the Ling Family Reception Hall and greets Ling Hu as well as Ling Qing before he was introduced to the City Lord of the 13th State, Lord Wei.

    "Lord Wei, humblest greeting to you. This young Junior Altima is honored to met the lord of the city during his insignificant arrival over here for a delivery."

    Altima greets Lord Wei with some respect.

    "The honor is mine, young friend, please stand up. If this time is without your help, the 13th State city Is most probably going to be fallen because of the Parasite Medicinal Disease."

    "If you be kind enough to accept this gift I purposely prepared, please, young friend."

    Lord Wei politely reply Altima''s greeting, before he was informed that Altima is the one who concocts all the Antidotes to be distributed to the city as well. Immediately, he swings the palm with a finger wearing a Spatial Ring and withdraws a small treasure as a token of appreciation.

    "This is a product only available within the 13th State City, as well the proudest material we ever produce to keep our city going on until now."

    Lord Wei withdraw a specially Container and open the cover to reveal the treasure.

    "Oh, Lord Wei is being so generous this time."

    Elder Ling Hu tease Lord Wei a little for being so generous to Altima.

    "Elder Ling, this gift is slightly too invaluable to present to you, but I believe our young friend here might have more use with it compare to you or myself."

    Lord Wei return the teasing favor back to Elder Ling Hu.

    Crystalized Arsalite Essence Plates.

    Item Description: The purest form of Arsalite Solution, where it is pure enough to form thin plates that looked like azure colored crystals, but sturdy and strong. The Crystalized Arsalite Essence Plates value exceeds any Arsalite products and would require at least 10 Pure Arsalite Heavy Plates to exchange for a small Crystalized Arsalite Plate.

    Altima moves his hand and accepts the box containing 5 pieces of Crystalized Arsalite Essence Plates, and politely say thanks to Lord Wei. In the same time, he returns a total of 1,000 Basic Profound Zen Pill within a spatial ring to Lord Wei as an exchange of favor.

    Lord Wei was shocked with the quality of the Basic Profound Zen Pill, and the concentrated Zen Essence packed within each pill.Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

    "This pill is even better than the normal Balancing Zen Pills. With this pills, I can recruit and inject more young blood for the 13th State city and make it stronger."

    "Young friend, this gift is too precious."

    Lord Wei politely refused the medicinal pill, but Altima decided to push it further.

    "Lord Wei, please, take this as a token of a gift from me as well. In future, who knows we might have a chance to stumble across each other? And at the same time, this Crystalize Briolite Essence Plates is much more precious, where only the 13th state city could produce it."

    "Alright, you two, enough with the mushy exchange of words."

    "Altima, could you go to the 13th state city as a representative of the Spirit Beast Clan, and guard the Talon Escort Agency Building for temporary ?"

    Elder Ling Hu pass a request to Altima.

    I will post this in the mission board later anyway, so perhaps giving it to you directly would be better.

    Low Mission

    Escort and Protection. The Spirit Beast Clan smaller business and partner, the Talon Escort Agency is facing security and protection during their Patriarch is away for secluded cultivation breakthrough. A minimum team of 5 members is required for this mission, to assist in the term of training and escort delivery, Agency security, refining products, and ingredient, as well breakthrough assistance offered to the patriarch during a period of time. The mission is calculated as complete once the patriarch cultivating reach the breaking through the stage.

    Contribution Rewards: 10,000 Contribution Points.

    "I will make sure this mission is perfectly done, Elder Ling Hu. Leave it to me."

    Altima accepted the quest, and quickly make a haste back to his accommodation to inform the others. Noticing that all of them is within the Thunder Realm for body tempering practice, Altima entered without any delay, and explain the details to all of them clearly before the group finished their packing and proceed towards the Ling Family Household once again.

    The two groups finally readied to depart, and after traveling for a total of 5 days, they reach the City where it''s built beautifully and placed on a very specify spot, just close to the mountain entrance. If Altima''s rough guess is correct, the mountain should possess an Arsalite Molten Pool, that produces pure Arsalite that good enough to refine into Crystalized form.

    Bidding farewell to each other, Altima and his group head towards the outer city area, and soon, the group reaches a building that pretty lax in their overall defensive preparations, perhaps due to the lack of resources and task to be completed.

    The overall members within the Talon Escort Agency are roughly between Warrior Stage to Master Stage cultivator, and only the two Elders within the Escort Agency possess the qualification of Early Spiritual Stage, and the patriarch, which will be tackling the Middle Spiritual Stage is leading the whole Agency.

    "I guess we will have a lot of works to do within this Escort Agency."

    Wu Chung speaks softly. After all, the primary reason Spirit Beast Clan sent them here is to train and bring the Talon Escort Agency back to its right track, and slowly getting stronger so they could compete with other escort agency around this state controlled by the Elder Duke.

    "Let us start distribute the workloads. Gu Pang, are you comfortable if I have you placed on the Escorting and Protection line ?"

    Altima checked and distribute them into the relevant specialty.

    For Gu Pang, the Delivery and Protection Department would be the most suitable for him, due to his high sensibility in security and safety.

    For Shi-Wen Qing, she would be placed in the recruiting and mission accepting department, based on her experience in handling minor but detailed works.

    Fang Mu would be handling the Security together with Wu Chung whenever possible, and Qing Yi will be a part of the Training team, handling over the recruits as well the newly appointed members of the Agency.

    While for Altima himself, he will be assisting the Patriarch in his cultivating resources, procuring natural ingredients and materials with a different group as mission practice, as well as to take the temporary leadership during the period the Patriarch is away in his secluded training.

    "Talon''s Patriarch, Do you need any assistance during your cultivation period ?"

    Altima entered the Cultivation Room that specially built for the Talon Escort Agency members, and proceed to have a discussion with the Patriarch.

    "I''ve heard some great news about you from the mouth of others. Seems like you have quite a feat yourself before coming into the Flame Forest Continent."

    "Do not worry, What I required is just some time and enlightenment during my breakthrough stage. With your team here, I can be at ease and focus on my breakthrough."

    "Although my both Elder of the Agency is not too bright, but their loyalty is unquestionable. Do depend on them sometimes if met with certain matters."

    The Talon Escort Agency''s patriarch shared his operation experience, and trustable aide, and some details with Altima, and soon started his breaking through attempts.

    In a blink of eyes, the team had already handled the Escort Agency matters for a whole month already. From the training room, a stronger and denser essence undulation is seen to be gushing out from the little gap between the door and windows.

    Soon, perhaps in another one more week, The Talon''s Patriarch will successfully ascend into the Spiritual Creation Stage, and obtained his 4th Spiritual Body parts, and quickly taking back the command of the Talon Escort Agency.

    And meanwhile, before he came out from his secluded training, the Agency is doing well, under the 6 of them. Aided by Gu Pang''s battle strength and responsive attitude, the Agency protection service is doing better and better, almost to the point that new leaders to lead the carriage and goods are required urgently.

    In the same time, Qing Yi, who was manning the Training and development team is supporting Gu Pang''s logistic side positively. Under Qing Yi''s detailed and strict training, the members that used to stuck in a same cultivating strength for a long period quickly gain sufficient experience and advancement, allowing them to be groomed into new leaders as well.

    As for Fang Mu, with the family is getting bigger and stronger, the part of security, handling external threats and spy that tried to obtain information regarding the Talon Escort Agency performance, all operation is thwarted by him personally. In that particular one month, Fang Mu manage to expose at least 20 spies from different Clan and Escort agencies that were competing with Talon Escort Agency for business.

    While for Shi-Wen Qing, she handled the recruitment well, able to increase the total amount of members and recruits within the Agency, from 10,000 members and 5,000 recruits to a whopping 12,000 members and 18,000 recruits at the moment.

    Although their loyalty and usability will need to go through plenty examination and test before they could be trusted, but to ensure the operation is going smoothly and start earning a profit for the Agency, this amount will do for now.

    Meanwhile, Wu Chung managed to receive some news regarding a few smaller bandits group had been converging and taking advantages of the carriage''s lack of guards and had been harassing people and robbing in broad daylight. Due to this matter affects the Agency credibility, Wu Chung had been dispatched together with a total of 10 members, two of them is the elders that mentioned by Talon''s Patriarch earlier ago.

    While for Altima, preparing the medicinal pellets to temper the members overall strength is important, but their basic cultivation too, so under Altima''s effort, cultivation cost has been lowered, and with this basic support, Altima could ensure that at least all Recruits under the agency will have the chances to break through the border between Early Stage to Warrior Stage in shortest time possible.

    But in return of this benefits, the recruits would be required to make a Bonding Oath, which honored as a contract, under the terms that the recruit will be staying within the Agency for a period of time, or contributed to the Agency for an amount of points.

    Under such attractive deals, no practitioner will be shutting their door to chances to increase their cultivation quickly, thus many recruits agree to participate and make the bonding oath possible.

    Exactly in one month later, the Talon''s Patriarch room finally have a destructive Essence undulation surge and burst out from the room, filling the area surrounding the building with dense Zen Essence.

    Talon''s Patriarch came out, looking vigorous and strong. Even his height has increased to at least 5 cm, and his body had a layer of shining lights covering him, making the patriarch looks like he recently descends from the sky.

    "Young Disciples from Spirit Beast Clan. This Patriarch greatly thank you for your consistent support and effort to bring the Talon Escort Agency to where they are today!"

    The patriarch hid no intention to keep the support from Spirit Beast Clan as a secret and loudly announced his gratitude towards the Ferocious General''s Troops for supporting his Agency for such a long period of time.

 Chapter 105 - Dragon Marrow and Dragon Roots, Next Mission ?

    With the mission is complete, Altima and the others took their time to slowly hand over the remaining jobs and task to the internal staffs before they leave the Agency in their good hands.

    Although the period is only one month within the Agency, the team had made a good relationship together with the members and recruits within the agency, causing them to slightly hesitate to leave this place. But everyone knows within their mind, the benefits of being within the Spirit Beast Clan far outmatch what the agency could give, which is why nobody dares to say anything regarding the Ferocious General''s Troops leaving.

    Before Altima and his members leaving, The Talon''s Patriarch personally withdraw two special plants within the Plantation Realm he manage to luckily stumble across during the time he ventures around the continent.

    The realm is very small, only about 2 acres wide, enough to plants around 2,000 plants each time, but due to the lack of refinement and strengthening, the plantation realm is actually left quite barren all around, except few smaller patch planting special medicinal herbs that required no tending and care to grow.

    The moment the Patriarch enter the realm, after realizing there is nothing worth taking, the Patriarch ends up grabbing few plant that releasing good fragrance and left the realm without bothering too much about it. But as the plant grow, the Patriarch noticed that the plant he grabbed from that spatial realm is actually the rare Yin Essence Dragon Root and Yang Essence Dragon Marrow plant.

    But due to unable to provide the two plant sufficient nutrients to grow, the sprouting had been halt for quite long now, causing the plant to remain in its 2nd stage of growth until now.

    Since the patriarch could not utilize it perfectly, he felt that trusting this two plants to Altima is a better choice, after he witnesses what Altima could do with his capability in Alchemy.

    As the group finally bid farewell to the Talon Escort Agency, they finally made a trip into the 13th State City and decided to take a few day of rest within the city, while exploring and spend some time within to look for a few interesting treasure to bring home.

    In the same time, Shi-Wen Qing requested to be allowed to return to her Clan for a short period of time and decided to report to the Spirit Beast Clan when she returns.

    Taking advantages of being released from the hectic mission duties for a few days, the team of 5 finally get crazy and visit almost all available shops within the 13th State City. But due to the previous Parasite Medicinal Disease, the city population had reduced by a total of 200,000, causing the streets to be slightly quieter.

    But due to the 13th State City is at least in a size of Wu Di Royal City, the city is still resided by at least 1,800,000 populations, included the cultivators and other visitors that came for a temporary stay.

    Back to Altima personally, he made a few visits toward the Martial Art Establishment around the town, and manage to procure 6 Different Basic Martial Arts, believed to be effective in enhancing his Martial Skills Arsenal.

    Other than purchasing the 6 martial arts, Altima managed to purchase a total of 25 Piece of the Crystalized Arsalite Plates, after making an exchange of 300 Pure Arsalite Plates as the offer to the shopkeeper. Of course, Mobi Had all the Crystalized Arsalite Plates eaten, and currently refining it as Altima walked around.

    On his way to the 13th State City Lord Mansion, Altima stumbles across two more specific treasure. Nothing much to be expected for a cultivator, but to a plant, the treasure effect is pretty generous.

    Refined Growth Solution from a Hundred Thousand Year Yang Essence King Mandrake

    Usage: Upon usage on a specific Yang plants, this growth solution could excite the growth of the plant, increasing it total age to between 25,000 Years to 50,000 Years. Only one Solution can be used on a plant, re-use the same Growth Solution will have no effect after the time.

    Refined Cold Blood from a Hundred Thousand Year Yin Essence Silken Moth King

    Usage: Upon application on a Yin based Plant, this solution could enhance the age of the plant, increasing it between 30,000 Years to 50,000 Years depending on the plant absorption rate. The second application will have no effect whatsoever.

    Spending a total of around 300,000 Balancing Zen Pills to purchase this two treasure, Altima can''t wait but to resist the temptation to enter the Private Cultivation Farm to apply this two solution to his two new Sprouts.

    But as Altima reach the 13th State City Lord Mansion, Altima is greeted personally by Lord Wei himself, along with two of his Child who was the leading the City Troops and City Guards.

    The first child of Lord Wei, Wei Liang, is a young 25 years old male, who was in his Middle Spiritual Stage at the moment, is crowned as the strongest Cultivator within the 13th State City. He''s on the duty of handling the City Troops, bringing them out to battle with opposing City''s troops and handling various outside the city affairs such as subjugation mission, Mountain Bandits as well as handling important escort task from their Elder Dukes.

    The second child of Lord Wei, Wei Wen, is the precious daughter that manage to capture the heart among all the people in 13th State City. Wei Wen handles the Inner city affairs, assisting her father in managing various matter such as the safety, building, troops affair, and many other smaller task. Barely 15, but already obtaining respect within the whole city residents.

    "Lord Wei, warmest greeting."

    Altima extends his greeting first.

    "Young Friend, come in, you must be tired from all the traveling and handling the Talon Escort Agency matters."

    Lord Wei extend his hand and placed it on both sides of Altima''s shoulder. He speaks nicely to Altima, and personally, escort him into their mansion.

    "I heard the people mentioned about how the Talon Escort Agency performance and dependable rating had increased during the period of a month. If this continues for a short while, soon the Talon Escort Agency will be the best Agency to the people within the city to choose, instead of depending on the other Cutthroat Agency such as the Million Gold Agency, or the Yang Escort Agency."The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

    Million Gold Agency and the Yang Escort Agency.

    During the period Altima and his team are handling the rebuilding works for the Talon Escort Agency, this two other agency is the most aggressive among the others. Over 100 double faced agent is deeply hidden within the Talon Escort Agency, disrupting the operation within the Agency so they could add more rumors to destroy the Talon Escort Agency.

    But with Qing Yi and Shi-Wen Qing''s combined strength, many agents is caught, and been handled by them professionally. Added with Gu Pang''s battle strength, even the fake bandits that were disguised and planned by this two opposing escort agencies is destroyed by Gu Pang whenever he manages to catch the wind on their activities.

    Altima believed in Fair Treatment, which is why the bonding oath is used, to ensure both sides doesn¡¯t betray each other, and still benefits from it.

    "Ah. Young Friend Altima, this Lord actually have a request to ask from you."

    Lord Wei hesitates from stating his request on the dining table, but his anxiety had overcome his calmness, and he accidently blurt out his well-locked request to Altima.

    "Lord Wei, you had already called me as a friend, if I still reject you without listening, what friend I am ?"

    Altima smiled as he replies to the Lord Wei''s matter.

    "Actually, the 13th State city and the 15th State City had been in a very bad relationship for a period of time."

    "Recently, I heard from the Elder Duke''s Aide that was siding with me, mentioned about the close door discussion with the 15th State City Lord a week ago."

    "As my friend Altima, had already known, the City performance and production had dropped by around 20%, due to the previous Disease issue, I''m afraid the Elder Duke might be in cahoots with the 15th State City Lord to overtake my position and control this 13th State city."

    Lord Wei explained the seriousness of this matter he is bothered with.

    Elder Duke.

    Although he is the ruler of one huge States, but to be honest, the Elder Duke held no controlling power except some personal Troops strength, with a Capital City of his own.

    The Elder Duke that handling this State is the 48th Elder Duke, called as Puyan Zhang Gong (Zhang Gong = Elder Duke). He is newly appointed and had less experience in handling serious matters. This Elder Duke Puyan had been increasing the rate of taxes implied to the 4 City state for quite a while now, causing the city to be almost out of valuable resources to be presented to the Elder Duke this year.

    Instead of handling the affairs between the city well, the Elder Duke Puyan instead spends all the resources to build his own city of Harem, where the 48th Capital City is actually filled with at least more than 50 Prostitution Pavilion, Drinking and Music Mansions, as well as other smaller establishments. The Capital City''s safety and security are getting more lax as well, where robberies, rape, and raiding other peoples houses and shops happened everywhere.

    And with this news regarding the 15th State City Lord meeting with the Elder Duke Puyan, this issue caused Lord Wei to be even more cautious, due to the previously closed door stance taken by the Capital City, instead of sending more supports to contained the disease.

    "So, Lord Wei''s intention is to have me support the 13th State City with resources, to increase your overall military strength? Or perhaps you are looking forward to me to assist you in handling the 15th State City advancement towards the 13th State City ?"

    Altima listens to Lord Wei''s word carefully.

    Although this matter won''t be any offensive to the Flame Lion Ancient Kingdom''s overall power, but to request assistance from a Clan or Sect to assist in a political war, would give the other Elder Duke, Grand Duke, and Clans to take advantage of this matter to push certain sensitive issue deeper.

    "I actually thinking about the same thing, but this will affect my friend Altima''s current standing and position within the Spirit Beast Clan."

    "After all, there is not only the 13th State City representative is within the Spirit Beast Clan Inner and Outer Disciple group, there is even 14th, 15th and 16th State City representative is there as well. If my friend Altima support me directly without any precaution, this would affect even Elder Ling Hu''s standing."

    Lord Wei explain the deeper part of the problem and the restrictions. And how it would affect the Clan indirectly.

    "So what is Lord Wei''s suggestion ?"

    Altima pays, even more, attention to the seriousness of this matter.

    "Instead of having Spirit Beast Clan Disciple to directly participate in this City war, I would like to say that the 13th State City is hiring the Ferocious General''s Troops to conduct training and beast subjugation methods to the Troops of 13th State City."

    "In the same time, we will put the additional request of Hiring Alchemist to concoct cultivating pills and tempering pills to increase our city production and business, but we will be only running the business as a cover up in the public view, while in the back of the shop, the City Treasury will provide sufficient amount of ingredient for my friend to help us in providing the resources we required."

    "I hope my friend Altima could consider this Wei''s ridiculous request."

    Lord Wei bring out the options the could think of, to assist the city in their defense. Due to the city itself still contain at least two more Escort Agency, two martial Clan, one business association, and one mercenary group, he would need to provide sufficient cover up to ensure his motive in defending the 15th State City offensive approach is kept hidden without any noise going out.

    As this matter would indirectly affect the Elder Duke''s order towards the city he controls, Lord Wei required being very careful with his arrangement and news release.

    One should always understand the Hierarchy and its strength between each gap.

    If the Elder Duke wished, he could easily transfer all troops from one city to another, leaving the city defenseless against the upcoming threat, and give out ridiculous reasons for such deployment.

    Some Elder Duke is heard to be greedy to no limit until they literally robbed a city clean before they arrange some other new Lords to overtook the previous Lord position. Of course, the closer and better the Elder Duke and the City Lord is, the better the benefits between the two will be.

    "Lord Wei, could I request for something in return ?"

    Altima continued.

    "Please state it, my friend."

    Lord Wei happily accept in his mind, without required to consider.

    "I need a large amount of any metal, refined or not, pure or impure, bits and crumbs, All of it."

    Altima state his request.

    "No problem. We will sort this matter out. The 13th State City just manage to discover a newly matured vein of Metal ores, with our skill in handling metallurgy, you can expect large city scale quantity within weeks."

    Lord Wei happily accept the request.

    "If in that case, I would have one more request."

    Altima continued.

    "Huh? Please continue, my friend."

    Lord Wei started to get a weird feeling about Altima continuous request.

    "Call me Altima, if you treat me as a friend."

    Altima speaks.

    "HA HA HA! Great! Brother Altima, Let''s have a Toast!"

    Lord Wei happily change his way of addressing Altima, and they both toasted, dine along with the other important figures within the city, before leaving for the night.

 Chapter 106 - Preparation Before They Comes.

    In the next period of one week, Altima spent all his time only to cultivate and increasing his overall strength.

    The group finally returned to the Spirit Beast Clan and awaits the new mission to be published on the Mission Board, before they are allowed to choose them.

    But the group knows, that their next task had been decided before they return.

    Altima and the others hand over their completed mission and receive a total of 10,000 Points in return of their contribution.

    Before the mission comes, Altima manages to participate in another Disciple Ranking Placement, and at the end, he manage to obtain another 5 wins once again, before he decided to call it a day.

    Soon, the mission is delivered to Altima''s doorstep, together with the other 5 of the Ferocious General''s Troops members.

    Average Mission

    Support and Training. Due to the previous Disease, the matter had reduced the productivities and military strength for the 13th State City, the City Lord had requested for aid and support from the Spirit Beast Clan to assist them in Alchemy department and troops training department. The term of service will be a total of 6 months unless released earlier under the agreement between Spirit Beast Clan, The 13th State City Lord, and the Team members who participate in this mission.

    Contribution Rewards: 200,000 Contribution Points.

    Without wasting any time, Altima departs together with all his teammates immediately and heads to the City Lord Mansion in haste.

    As they were within the Mansion, the delegation of duties had been well arranged, where Altima will be in control of the Alchemy department, concocting various type of below Spiritual Grade medicine for the shop to sell.

    While for Qing Yi and Shi-Wen Qing, they will be in charge of handling the recruitment and training, in an orderly arrangement.

    Gu Pang, Wu Chung, and Fang Mu will be handing the expedition training instead. But behind the truth, they were actually making preparations to battle with the incoming troops from the 15th State City.

    Recently, there are even more activities from various small groups, that¡¯s trying to take leadership on the path linking the two cities, and this path is more well known as the Firefly Serene Forest.

    This Firefly Serene Forest is well known for its night blinking Serene Fireflies, that have the ability to lit the Yin essence within their body, to illuminate their body during the mating season. Other than that, the outer forest is well equipped with lightings, seats, and guards to ensure this beautiful attraction could be preserved.

    But due to the clashes between few smaller power within the forest, currently more and more guards is being relocated to ensure this location is safe from any destruction.

    "Brother Wu, are you still able to fight ?"

    Gu Pang lifted Wu Chung and tried to escape from their enemies pursue.

    "I can let me take this Small Spiritual Reviving Salve and I will be ready to fight in no time."

    Wu Chung replied, and pop a small packing of powder into his mouth.

    Wu Chung and Gu Pang is actually on their middle of checking their security line and defensive perimeter, but out of sudden, the two is ambushed by a group of practitioners, and among 10 of the assassins, five of them is in their Early to Middle Spiritual Practitioner of Zen Tier, while another 5 of them is all on their Peak of Master Practitioner of Zen Tier.

    Being ambushed out of sudden, and running their rounds without any weapon, Wu Chung and Gu Pang quickly get overpowered by their opponent, and soon have to be on run to protect themselves. But in between of their path, the duo quickly realized that they have been had by their pursuers.

    "We had been tricked! There must be somebody within the troops that expose our identity and also rearrange our troop''s placement within this forest."

    Gu Pang quickly makes a rough guess on their current situation.

    "Brother Gu, should we quickly take that precaution step? It''s actually quite a waste, to spend a trick because of such an ambush."

    Wu Chung quickly comes out with the solution, since their condition is currently not too positive to consider other options.

    "I guess we have no choice."

    Gu Pang withdraws a Water Dragon Cannon and throws it in the direction facing the 13th State City.

    "Formation 40 of the Bagua Diagrams, Deliverance Diagram!"

    The Water Dragon Cannon exploded, and a notice of military alert is announced towards the City Wall!

    Within the period of 5 minutes, All the troops are well standby for any incoming attack, and in the darkness, Altima and Fang Mu is moving under the cover of shadows directly towards where the Deliverance Diagram is sent from.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

    In the same time, Qing Yi and Shi-Wen Qing quickly had all their troops attendance is checked and recorded, to ensure no turncoats is given chances to reassess the situation!

    "Capture him!"

    Qing Yi gives the guards an order and quickly had two wall guards captured without any space to resist. Even in another side of the wall, Shi-Wen Qing is doing the same thing towards a few different City Guards.

    Meanwhile on Altima side, he charges toward the directly where he felt a stronger flow of Zen essence undulation, and withdraw his Meng Jiang Spear. Brandishing the spear straight to a random directly, Altima charge without any hesitation, and push all his essence strength into his highest limit.

    Yuan Wu''s Wall Crushing Pierce!

    Altima''s spear charge without mercy, as it reaches the cultivator that almost manage to grab a hold on Gu Pang, the cultivator''s head quickly got smashed into bits, leaving only the body falling down to the ground without any motion. Two more cultivators who were directly by his side is dealt with a fatal injury as well, where one of them having their belly totally grazed, allowing their intestines to falls from their stomach, while another one lost his arm indirectly.

    "What the hell is wrong with this spear user! It is impossible for a Middle Spiritual Cultivator to kill three Middle Spiritual Cultivator in one strike!"

    The Early Spiritual Cultivator is shocked to his core, other than his mouth is still able to blabber a few words, his whole body is losing its feeling, unable to take any more actions.

    Fang Mu reached the location as well and combined with Gu Pang and Wu Chung, the trio quickly tosses a few Water Dragon Cannon towards their surrounding, creating a field if Bagua formation under the Field Formation.

    "Seven Injuries Chain Strike!"

    Altima gives no chances for the remaining seven cultivators that still able to fight, and land a chain of punches, finger strike and clawing attack towards them. Due to the attack is dealt with the Seven Injuries Chain Strike Technique, each of them have their own symptom of Harming injuries, and unable to continue fighting anymore.

    A piercing wind suddenly breaking through the Field Formation and aimed directly on Altima''s neck, but thanks to the Royal Nirvana Golden Body and Mind Technique, Altima is practically invulnerable to any ranged ambush attack.

    "What a strong body durability."

    The ambusher quickly retreats, but before he manages to escape, a new force of Field Formation is erected, and this time, they are combined with the force formation as well.

    "Oh, Shit!"

    The ambushing cultivator finally realized his mistake, and immediately got himself restrained by the force of Bagua.

    With a sudden mess that going on tonight, Altima and the others in the team finally successfully caught a total of 8 Spiritual Stage Cultivator, after 3 of them is dead from his first initial strike. Other than this 8 spiritual cultivator, Shi-Wen Qing and Qing Yi managed to expose a total of 21 different double agents which planted by the Capital City, the 15th State City, as well as the other martial establishment''s informant as well.

    "Speak, from whom you are sent to infiltrate our City!"

    Lord Wei is furious, because, among the 29 captured prisoners, 5 of them are his potentially promoted commander to be positioned within the city to protect Wei Wen in her daily visiting routes.

    The group of prisoners is firm on their standing and wasn¡¯t willing to expose any of their hirer''s identity.

    "Lift them up to a standing position."

    Altima passed a simple order to the captains behind each prisoner.

    "Lord Wei, I understand that based on your trust and position, you would reject my approach, but since you are hiring the Ferocious General''s Troops to handle this matter on your behalf, I hope you allow me to take this action."

    Altima states his standing, before Lord Wei trying to object what he is going to do next.

    "Granted, as long the city is safe, I and Wei Wen is willing to bear this consequences."

    Lord Wei replied, agreeing with Altima''s request.

    "Seven Injuries Chain Strike!"

    Altima land seven hits to each prisoner, almost beating all of them to death before they spit few mouthful of blood to the ground.

    "Speak."

    Altima just muttered a simple word.

    "No one willing to speak ?"

    "Seven Injuries Chain Claws!"

    Altima serves another seven strikes, this time all of it is clawing attack, causing all of them to have severe bleeding overall on their weak body.

    "I surrender¡­!"

    "I surrender too¡­!"

    "You guys! Don¡¯t give up!"

    "I can''t take this anymore, captain. I felt like all my skin and nose is going to lost their touches and feels."

    "What is this demonic martial arts ?"

    "Urgh..!"

    The few prisoners starting to get weaker by the seconds, and soon, most of them give up, leaving only the sturdier and more firm in their mind prisoners.

    "keep them inside the prison, and make sure you feed them some vigor enhancing pill every few hours."

    Altima had his way to torture the prisoners. If the hard way doesn¡¯t work, why not use their weakness as a man, which is to resist the temptation of getting laid as the force to make them surrender.

    For those that already agreed to comply, Altima withdraws a few sets of Golden Plateau Pellets and place it in front of them.

    "Released them."

    Altima had the captains released all the prisoners, giving them freedom to move around. But even with such freedom, they are hardly able to move, due to the heavy injuries and the critically bleeding condition inflicted by Altima on their body.

    "If you want this Golden Plateau Pellets, first make an exchange. One information for one pellet. If the information is used or already been spoken, your chances are over."

    Altima gives them the chances, and its depend on them to take it or not.

    "Let me go first!"

    "Lord Wei, my hire is from the 15th State City Lord, Lord Michael himself."

    "That¡¯s barely enough information for a Golden Plateau Pellet."

    The first prisoners tried to grab a hold on the pellet, but stopped by Altima, stating how shallow is his information to worth a Golden Plateau Pellet.

    "I can add! Lord Michael already have his side of the city cooperate with the Bandits that operates around the Flame Man-eater forest, the bandits from Mountain of Roaring Tigress, the Sky Sword Soul Sect from the 15th State City, and the Million Gold Agency."

    "I just came back from the Million Gold Agency to deliver a letter of orders from Lord Michael himself. Please take a look."

    The prisoner withdraws a copy of the letter that he still kept within his garment, and allows Altima to read it.

    "Take your pill. Captains put him in custody with basic prisoners ration, I will decide on how to release him later."

    Altima allows the prisoner to grab his portion of the pill, before have him carried away to be placed into custody.

    "My Lord, I have a letter from the Yang Escort Agency as well, this serve as the proof that the Yang Escort Agency is in cahoot with the Million Gold Agency to bring down Talon Escort Agency and taking over the business within the city, so City Lord have no other way but depend on this two agency on any security and deliveries."

    "My Lord, I have a proof of Letter as well, Stating the Million Gold Agency is preparing to ambush the Carriage between the new mines to the Forge route and destroy the City incomes."

    "My Lord, I have the proof to state that the Blood Shadow Sect is preparing to ambush the next few upcoming expedition lead by the Spirit Beast Clan Practitioners, and reducing their moral support the troops to bring down the troops efficiency."

    One by one, the prisoner quickly expose all the dirtiest secret and planning made by the other power within the city and outside the city, allowing Lord Wei to totally understand where each power within the city stands.

    With all the prisoners is delivered to the custody, awaiting the next arrangement, Altima instead decided to take another drastic move instead.

    He summoned the Scarlet King into the Main Hall, shocking all the cultivators and the pair of father and daughter.

    "Scarlet King, handle the prisoners, I want all of them to become food tonight. Do you get me ?"

    Altima is looking at Scarlet King deeply in her eyes.

    In return, Scarlet King just blinked her eyes once, and slither out towards the Custody room without any further questions.

    "Brother Altima, I thought.."

    Lord Wei heart is heavy and sorry, but he knows it is not his position to mentioned about Altima''s decision.

    "Lord Wei, these prisoners, had betrayed you, and they are hired. If we allow them to roam outside again, can you imagine how many side can they betray more before they are judged ?"

    "Those that we shouldn¡¯t kill, all remains within the Prisoners Cell. We shall see who remained last within that group of 6 people."

    Finishing his word, Altima leaves the City Lord Mansion, allowing Lord Wei to muster himself and set back to the right track.

    "If I want to make my City protected, flourish and stand strong, I must stand up first."

    "Million Gold Agency, Yang Escort Agency, Blood Shadow Sect, Precious Brushes Sect, Fire Fist Mercenaries, I will start with cleaning you guys first, and soon the 15th State City and the others from the forest next."

    Lord Wei loudly speaks his intention, allowing all his trusted guards and aide within the mansion to hear his decision.

    In the same time, Altima grinned and satisfied with this decision Lord Wei made. Followed behind him is the 5 other members of the Ferocious General''s Troops.

    Soon, The 13th State City will be even livelier with the shower of blood contributed by the traitors of the City.

 Chapter 107 - Bloodbath! And its come with some Gold.

    Exactly one week after the ambush incident, the process of the training, cultivation and military exploits started to grow significantly. Under Qing Yi''s torturous training, none of the soldiers dare to slack off from the training.

    Eventually, their strength is getting stronger and much more well arranged. Adapting with certain formations, Qing Yi manages to rebuild the military strength from a mess to a well arranged and disciplined battalion.

    Within the period of one week, many other things had changed.

    The missions and opened tender to obtain more contracts between the escort agency and the City Lord''s logistic had been reduced, and many previous tenders that came with outrageous fee is destroyed and canceled. A fairer tender is opened for all new players to slowly participate, where only those that had been trusted and dependable is chosen to take the offer.

    The two Sect within the city as well is controlled and newer rules are implemented within the City perimeters, where many restrictions are applied towards the Cultivator, under the reason to protect the city residents and ensuring their safety.

    Through this approach, Lord Wei managed to obtain a bigger support from the locals, and more and more business opportunity is offered from the City Lord Management, allowing many new businesses to grow, thus the locals don''t require to be depending on the support from the Clan and Alliance anymore.

    With this way of handling and obtaining the locals support, Wei Wen is handling her responsibility well, where she act as Lord Wei''s Ear, Mind and Heart. Able to make a decision on behalf of Lord Wei, Wei Wen manages to quickly handle many issues without requiring to be reported and delayed again and again.

    In the same time, Wu Chung, Gu Pang, and Fang Mu manage to destroy more and more Bandits group and thugs surrounding the path between 13th State City and 15th State City, and increasing the security among the four entrance, rejecting illegal entry for those who seems suspicious.

    But very soon, Shi-Wen Qing is forced to announce a bad news to the City Lord, as her Management Office receive a letter from the State Capital.

    ELDER DUKE''S HIGHEST ORDER

    Under the command of 48th Capital City under Elder Duke Puyan, you are hereby required to fulfill the support request of delivering a total worth of 10,000,000 Balancing Zen Pills and also a total of 200,000 residents to be migrated towards the Capital City to strengthen the Capital overall strength.

    Then Elder Duke Puyan will accept no delays in receiving this two support request, any failure to comply would result in the resignation of the Lord Positioned and will be replaced immediately without further notice.

    Signed,

    The 48th Elder Duke, Tu Puyan.

    "This is ridiculous!"

    Lord Wei is giving out a fitting rage within his mansion hall, due to the ridiculous demand made by the Elder Duke.

    "Do we have any choices to amend this Order ?"

    Altima asked Shi-Wen Qing, regarding on this matter as he is nowhere better in handling such matter.

    "We could send different tributes to the Elder Duke in exchange for the difficulties in complying in either of the requests, but it has to be an equivalent value or higher to compare."

    "If we put both Residents and Balancing Zen Pills as the same value in figures, we are either sending a total of 400,000 residents or 20,000,000 Balancing Zen Pills if we have difficulties."

    "But I believe that for our City condition, sending either one is difficult."

    Shi-Wen Qing explained the situation to Altima, and the difficulties to gather enough resources for either of the requests.

    "Lord Wei, what is our city condition at the moment ?"

    Altima checked.

    "Treasury, report our current city status for now."

    Lord Wei quickly summon his treasury advisor to give a report.

    "My Lord, the city treasury currently holds a total of 13,000,000 amount worth of Balancing Zen Pills, and our resident total population is at 1,869,500. Among the total residents, 400,000 belonged to the State City Military Troops, and 200,000 of them belonged to the various Martial Establishments within the City."

    "So in total, if we comply with both of the requests, we will be having only 1,000,000 residents that have some production forces to stay within the city to assist in bringing up the city''s revenue, and barely 3,000,000 Balancing Zen Pills to maintain the city operations."

    The treasury advisor finished his reports.

    "My Lord, may I have a word with everyone here ?"

    One captain dare himself to pass on an information he recently heard from the nearby drinking pavilion.

    "Speak, let us hear what you would like to say."

    Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

    Lord Wei approve his audience.

    "My Lord, Two hours ago, I saw a few capital city special delegates having a drink within the Northern Section Nine Dragon Pavilion. Because they are indirectly sitting behind my seats, I roughly heard a few exchange of words regarding how they would pass on a letter requesting the Million Gold Agency to be appointed to be the one to deliver the Highest Orders tributes."

    "If this is a normal discussion, I would have ignored it and continue drinking, but then, I heard one of the delegates actually revealed the motive behind this appointment."

    "They intended to hire some fake bandits disguised by the 15th State City mercenaries to proceed to rob and plunder the escort carriage, and had all the members from the Million Gold Agency killed, so it would look clearly as the 13th State City mistakes."

    "My Lord, please believe me, as I had been under your service for at least 5 years until now. I wouldn¡¯t create such fake stories to lie if I never heard it personally."

    "I am from this city as well, and all my family members believe that only Lord Wei could give us a peaceful yet fair living place to resides, which is why I remain loyal to my lord until now."

    The captain finished his word, and retreat two steps behind before Lord Wei starts talking.

    "Lord Wei, Please allow us to take action."

    Altima continued.

    "Brother Altima.."

    "You''re up next."

    "Understood."

    Lord Wei replied, and in a simple word, Altima and the others exit the Lord''s Mansion, and vanished in the darkness.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Four hours later, a group of cultivators move under the shadows and travel in fast speed and quickly reach the vicinity around the Million Gold Agency.

    The group of black dressed cultivators, all had their face hidden, and with no identity tag within any parts of their body, so even if there are casualties during any ambush, their identity will not be exposed.

    Lead by a total of 6 people, the group of 126 cultivators quickly positioned themselves under the shade of trees around the Agency Walls, their entrance gate, as well as their back exits.

    On the sky, A Rainbow Elder Sparrow is flying around, adding the beauty of the scenery as the members within the Million Gold Agency.

    "How beautiful is that Rainbow Elder Sparrow. If I could have that during my wedding, my wife will be totally crazy for me due to such happiness."

    "Chirp!"

    The Sparrow make a voice before it sways toward another direction.

    Unexpectedly by the random member that was staying guard at the outside walls, his head falls to the group immediately after as he heard the chirping sound made by the Rainbow Elder Sparrow.

    "Chirp!"

    Another side of the wall, a ruthless strike came out without notice, killing off all the cultivators within the outside of the walls.

    "Chirp Chirp!"

    The Rainbow Elder Sparrow turn around and if it''s looking for a new location to make a nest.

    Another side of the wall had all their members head falls to the ground quietly.

    "Shut that bird and capture it!"

    The Million Gold Agency Fourth Elder, Elder Jin screamed. He was trying to enjoy the companion of his three beautiful Fragrance Pavilion Escorts, but each time he tried to approach deeper, he was disturbed by the sharp piercing voice from the Sparrow.

    "Understood!"

    Few guards that were positioned outside of that elder''s room quickly reply for his command and start pursuing the Rainbow Elder Sparrow.

    "Get the others from the Scout Tower to throw some Beast Formation Cage to capture it."

    Two of the guard give out a few orders to the others behind them. From the initial look of it, they are easily recognized as higher rank members within the Million Gold Agency.

    The ordered guards quickly move towards the three other Scout Towers to deliver the message, but before they manage to get close, a few hidden weapon launched from darkness, and had the three guards killed silently.

    The assassins action is too quick, almost to the fact where no eye witness is available with each of their kills.

    Very soon, only the Guard tower that manages to receive the order flung some Beast Formation Cage to try to capture the Rainbow Elder Sparrow.

    "What is the others from the three towers is doing!"

    The two Head guards are pissed with their slow actions and move downstairs again, making their way to two of the towers as they walked.

    "Is my Rainbow Elder Sparrow too beautiful for you to try to capture it ?"

    A voice came from the back of this Head Guard as he walks pass a corner intersection.

    "Who are Y..!"

    The Head Guard tried to turn around and shout, but before he manages to completely finish his word, his head had already fallen to the ground.

    The same thing happened on another Head Guard as well.

    As the perimeter of defensive is totally taken cared of, the Assassins group is ready to make their next approach.

    "Screech!!!"

    The Rainbow Elder Sparrow make a sharp and ear piercing voice before it flies away from the Million Gold Agency. Due to the sharp and piercing voice, it caused many other people that were within the building inside the Agency to come out and look for the cause of this disturbance.

    But to the assassins group, the piercing voice indicates a different meaning.

    The remaining group of assassins that still staying outside of the Million Gold Agency, tossed a large number of activated Water Dragon Cannon towards the wall and creating a huge 12th Formation of Bagua Diagram, the Obstruction Formation to lock and constraint all people that still located within the Million Gold Agency Building.

    While on the inside of the building, the assassins that already infiltrate the whole Million Gold Agency toss a different type of Water Dragon Cannon, with each of them activated with the Upper Wind and Lower Fire Trigram, enhancing only the destructive power within the Water Dragon Cannon itself, into each building that had their door, windows and any opening on their roof.

    A total deafening explosion is heard!

    The whole Million Gold Agency is almost exploded into a piece of destroyed empty piece of land.

    None of the houses is still intact from the destructive forces. And all the practitioners within the agency is either heavily injured, damaged on certain parts of their body, or being exploded into a small little piece of meat.

    But within, there is still plenty of survivors still managed to walk around, looking for a way out.

    These survivors are the non-cultivation peasants, which have the ability to nullified the destructive power released by the Water Dragon Cannon.

    "Who dare to do such atrocity towards the Million Gold Agency!"

    A tall and huge man stands tall in the middle of the empty ground, believed to be the leader or patriarch of the Million Gold Agency.

    Another 4 elder appeared as well, only suffering a small part of injuries, but one of the Elder is stark naked, without any string on his body due to the explosion.

    Without words.

    Without notice.

    A spear strike directly from the top, and quickly have one of the elders heavily injured from the ambush strike.

    "How Despicable!"

    "Everyone, stay on guard!"

    The Million Gold Agency Patriarch quickly warn the other 3 remaining elders and withdraw his own sets of weapon from his spatial ring.

    "Today. I will make sure the Million Gold Agency''s people all dead, and form a river of blood to flows to the 13th State City."

    "Who the Hell are you!"

    The Patriarch quickly question Altima''s Identity but was replied by a strike instead.

    Without any further intention to continue speaking, the assassin charge towards the patriarch with his spear, straight with the intention to kill immediately.

    "You wish to kill me? Ask my treasure first!"

    Unexpected by the assassin, the Patriarch actually withdraw two different pieces of orbs and had both of it pumped with a large amount of Zen Essence. As the orb received the essence, it slowly lights up, giving out a dim bluish fire and a dim reddish fire within the orb.

    Slowly, the orb flows and making a full circle, circling around the patriarch as he moves.

    With each step he made, the ground beneath him started to burn with two different colors of flames, and each slowly spread along the ground, making the whole place seems to be going to be burned soon.

    "It''s been too long since I had used this two Forest Flaming Yin Orb and Forest Flaming Yang Orb. You won''t be my match as long you are trapped within my Orb''s concept!"

    Unexpectedly, this two orb is a Concept assistance treasure!

    "I guess there is one more additional reason to quickly kill you now."

    The assassin speaks.

    "Ha Ha, I dare you to enter my concept of Forest of Flaming Yin and Yang!"

    "Urgh!"

    The patriarch happily threatens the assassin to proceed with his intention.

    But before he could continue, his chest had been pierced by a flying spear strike, causing him to be dead on spot.

    The spear curve as it flew, and slowly making a return flight towards the assassin hand, before he kept his spear within his spatial ring. Soon, the bracelet he is wearing, quickly turned into a tentacle-like monster, and wrapped the Patriarch head and cause the patriarch corpse to "Dance" for a moment, and laid dead soon after.

    Retrieving the two orbs and slowly walked away with the other assassins manage to clear all the members, the formation that obstructing the outer wall slowly disperse, and a large amount of blood flows like a dam blocking the river path is destroyed.

    Three rivers of blood flow into the city, shocking the residents and other martial establishments as they seen the horrifying incident.

    "Brother Altima, what is your current cultivation now ?"

    Qing Yi asked Altima after they returned to the City Lord''s Mansion.

    "Spiritual Manipulation Stage, 7 Spiritual Body for now, and soon to be 8."

    "Brother''s Cultivation is the fastest to grow within our group."

    With such cultivation, no wonder the Early Spiritual Practitioner of Zen Tier Patriarch of the Million Gold Agency is slain without words.

 Chapter 108 - The Bloodbath Wont Stop Until the River Formed into Sea. Cultivation Realm upgraded ?

    Within the mansion of the city lord, Altima entered his Private Cultivation Farm and moved towards the direction where Tian and Scarlet King is resting.

    As he reached, Altima is looking at the round-bellied Scarlet King that hibernating on her nest due to the famished 23 prisoners as her meal not too long ago.

    Meanwhile, for Tian, Altima noticed a slightly different on that lazy dragon. Tian started to venture towards the south nowadays as if he found some place to have fun.

    The Celestial Origin Dragon''s Nest seems to be filled with loads of his drools, and miraculously, the drool does not dry up from the daily sunshine.

    The stones he used to lie on top, blinked with beautifully marble luster, but Altima place no attention, perhaps he was imagining that the dragon''s sleeping habits are too special.

    Behind the Nest, a number of treasure boxes are arranged along, filling within is all the daily and weekly produce that created from the two beast''s body.

    Especially the Celestial Blood. A portion of it had been used to cured Pang Yan sickness, and miraculously it works, currently within Altima''s Realm, two Alchemist could be seen working along, with many Ancient Elves is busy tending the medicinal ingredients and preparing them to be ready for Pang Yan and Altima to concoct.

    The three sisters recovery rate had improved as well. Added with the accompanying Tian that always cheerful, lazy and naughty, the three sister''s catatonic condition is no longer a major issue in their lives. Sometimes, the Elves and the goblins will join the humans within the realm together for a food, sharing with each other while enjoying each other difference of culture.

    The goblins had been reduced to only 2,000 of them left within the realm, due to a special arrangement made by Altima and City Lord Wei.

    In this short amount of time, Altima''s Goblin Tribe manage to grow from 2,000 Goblins and 1,500 Goblin Berserkers, into a total of 3,000 Goblins and 2,100 Goblin Berserkers.

    Due to this large amount of goblin is residing within the Realm, Altima felt that he have to adjust and utilize them more. After obtaining the agreement from their current leader, Gunther, Victor and Vector, the three of them have no issues regarding sending 2,000 Goblins to the 13th State City Mining Vein to work.

    For the Goblins, their lives are either Mining, Plundering, Fighting and Breeding.

    To give them a motive in life to focus on is their biggest pleasure. As long Altima could provide them with a motive to work on it, they are willing to work until they couldn¡¯t, and move into taking care of the young, and died happily without any complaints.

    Due to this matter, Altima''s Mining Vein within the Realm is neglected and is allowed to slowly regrow into a thicker and denser mine.

    Currently, All metal production within Altima''s Realm came from the Metal Veins from the 13th State City, and on Mobi''s part, he had been refining all the metal nonstop into his body.

    Expecting it to be upgraded soon, Altima does not dare to disturb Mobi and spend his available time in handling other matters.

    Which is why, during this a week period, Altima succeed in improving his cultivation into the 7th Stage of Spiritual Practitioner, along with the assistance of the Spirit Maturation Fruit that recently ripens within his Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace.

    Altima felt that he would soon require venturing into deeper of the Flame Lion Ancient Kingdom, due to certain requirement to further enhance his martial requirement.

    Currently, Altima still yet to found out the changes happened to the First Rate Yin Essence Emperor Dragon Root and Yang Essence Monarch Dragon Marrow, due to his attention is not diverted into that few plants, but soon as he realized, he will know what recently happened to his realm.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Within the Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace.

    Altima still refines the Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace without fail.

    Every day, in the same time and effort, Altima spend a lot of time (because the time is one hour in Inner Realm = one Minute in the real world or Cultivation Farm) refining the available Extreme Extracts he manages to refine in his cultivation farm.

    Meanwhile, Silvia recently has slight changes as well.

    Her fur started to grow into a shade darker, causing the Silver colored fur began to become bluish silver, and even Silver herself had gone into hibernation mode, giving no reaction to Altima as he refined the Yin and Yang Extracts.

    As for the four Treasure within the Palace Realm, Altima soon could expect the "Pure Golden Fate Pellet" and the "Fate Tempering Alchemic Ling Zhi" to be matured soon.Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

    In the same time, due to his diligent refining effort, two new listing started to appear within the Stone Tablet outside the Palace.

    "Spirit Firming Fruit"

    "Empress of Lake Leaping Pearl"

    "Oh, the Empress of Lake Leaping Pearl again.. Tian will be so happy and shit beside the dragon plant later."

    Altima smiles in his mind and returns to his cultivation mode.

    As he refined the remaining extract within his hand, Altima failed to notice some slight changes happened to the Palace.

    The Palace Door open slightly, and a few strands of hair flew out from the Palace Entrance, and enter Silvia''s body, unknowingly to both of them.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Do you know about what happened yesterday night ?"

    "About the river of blood? I heard rumors about it. Seems like the Million Gold Agency recently pissed some practitioner from Kun Tier, and received their Sect Destruction Tribulation."

    "Yeah, I think this is a correct guess as well. Think about it, we heard no voice during the night of the incident, and next day, only a river of blood flows into the Market Street, Military Street, and the Medicinal Street, which is the three main street of the City."

    "If the killer is not a Kun Tier Practitioner, how could he did it in a night ?"

    "I saw a few Shadow walked around the outer city wall during night, do you think it is related to this matter ?"

    "Are you joking? Why would a Kun Tier Practitioner need people to hide and obtain information? Those people most probably inside agents that on their job to obtain information within our city."

    "I wonder how will Lord Wei react to this matter. Seems like the delegates from capital city is all dead, and all of them is within the Million Gold Agency as well."

    "What is it related to our Lord Wei? None of the practitioners within our city is at their Kun Tier cultivation. And Lord Wei is well known to be benevolent towards us, will he react in such atrocious way ?"

    "I heard from the Nine Dragon Pavilion Manager, they heard the news regarding the Capital City is requesting the Million Gold Agency to deliver the Tributes from 13th State City to Capital City."

    "If in this case, won''t the tributes delivery be halted by their Agency Destruction ?"

    "This seems to be a fortune in disguise."

    The city residents happily chatted about this fortune and misfortune, due to the destruction of the Million Gold Agency. The city Lord had this issue handled very well, where the Yang Escort Agency is immediately appointed to handle the tribute delivery.

    Out of their fear, the Yang Escort Agency wished to decline this offer, but due to the Elder Duke''s Highest Order Plaque is placed in their hand, the Agency have no reason but to accept, at the cost of their lives.

    "This is what its feel to know that themselves had become the sacrifice tribute to the people they tried to lick their shoes to gain favors."

    Soon, the first carriage containing a total of 5,000,000 Balancing Zen Pills, and other treasures such as the Pure Arsalite Plates, the Precious Medicinal Ingredients is all ready to be delivered, and in total, the Yang Escort Agency is ready to dispatch a total of 10,000 members of the Agency and two Elders to make sure this delivery a success.

    "I wonder how would this turn to be when the 15th State City and the Capital City will react with their tributes that will reach their hand."

    City Lord Wei and Altima held a smile in their face.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Elder Shen."

    A practitioner under the Shen Family quickly pays his respect to the incoming Elder Shen Ming, who is also the Elder that used to threat Altima during the time he was in the Ling Family Household.

    "How is the preparation is going ?"

    Elder Shen Ming immediately goes to the main topic for his arrival this time.

    "Elder Shen, the preparation is almost ready, with an order, our people will be ready to go into the clash between the Escort Agency and the masked mercenary, and with the combination between the Demonic Beast and Cultivator combo, we will be able to quickly dispose all of them, and had all the Balancing Zen Pills that going to go to the 48th Capital City coming into our hand."

    "Elder Shen, is there anything we need to be precaution with ?"

    "Make sure you had this matter handled well, if yes I would have Honorary Elder Shen Tu to reward you handsomely."

    Elder Shen Ming continued.

    "Had you guys finish delivering all the Available antidotes and vaccine to all the resident in the city ?"

    Altima checked with the medical troops that based around the city wall.

    "Yes, Young master! All the resident had already been vaccinated and had a storage of two antidotes within their sack for precaution."

    The Medical troop replied.

All resident are not allowed to exit the city perimeters. All the Troops will be required to take antidote once every day as well. Prostitution will be closed down for a short period of time until further notice."

    "How is the wall between the Mines and the City path is going along ?"

    Altima laid down his order and had the city totally closed from any external visitors. This is to deal with the upcoming incident that bound to be happening soon.

    "Young master, the defensive wall have been built and well reinforced. You can expect it to hold strongly even against the demonic beast."

    The troops replied Altima''s question.

    "Good, let us see how heavy is the casualties this time."

    "Elder Ling Hu, I hope your side had their preparation readied for any actions."

    "Ha Ha Ha! Kid, I would not imagine that even myself, a Kun Tier Practitioner could not imagine to laid such a devious strategy to entrap those that tries to mess with me."

    "Elder Ling Hu, since they already bare their fang against us, why would we still need to be humane to them? Let us get rid of their strength, and replace them instead."

    Elder Ling Hu appears behind Altima, and exchange a few words with him before leaving secretly.

    "Brother Altima."

    "Yes ?"

    "The preparation is all complete."

    "Are we ready to start the operation ?"

    "Yes."

    "Great. We will move in darkness when the signal came out."

    "Brother Altima, I heard that the Blood Shadow Sect holds a few great treasures protecting their patriarch."

    "Worry not, we have our secret weapon as well."

    Altima smirk, and within the palm of his, holds two small orbs that had been refined recently by Mo Yue and Gunther, using their skills as the Elder Blacksmith to further strengthen the two special treasures.

    Mystical Blazing Yang Concept Orb - Peak Soul Stage of Zen Tier Offensive Treasure

    "How impatient."

    Altima comments.

    As he turned around, Altima is greeted with a total of 120 black dressed cultivator, each of them possessing the strength close to Peak Master Practitioner, the five strongest of them recently breakthrough the barrier between the Master and Spiritual Practitioner, and to lead them, a total of 5 Middle Spiritual Stage Cultivator is ready in a spot closer to Altima.

    "Let us depart to the Blood Shadow Sect now. We will make the Blood Shadow Paint the road to the city wall with their own blood!"

 Chapter 109 - Return of the Upgraded Version of Parasitic Medicinal Disease!

    Under the shadows, the total of 126 cultivators moved quickly and proceeding with the same formation before they entered the Blood Shadow Sect''s territories.

    Due to the recent incident happened on Million Gold Agency, the Blood Shadow Sect defensive perimeter had increased by a whole stage.

    About 5 guards are placed within each corner, allowing all corners is guarded without any failure.

    But what the Blood Shadow guards didn¡¯t expect is, their opponent is nowhere normal as well.

    What kind of forces can compete with the capability of a Kun Tier practitioner?

    The Special Ops team quickly move in a 25 team in total.

    Five men, a team divided into a total 24 team, 4 directions, with 6 teams each side.

    In each side of the guard post and its wall, a total of 4 group of guards can be seen. Attacking directly from left and right, the Special Ops quickly dispose them from far most, and slowly get closer to the center.

    Before the starting of each assault, the team leader will take initiative to explode a piece of Water Dragon Cannon with the Field Formation, to contain the sound of the slaughter, before they proceed with another target.

    Swiftly and ruthlessly, the Special Ops quickly disposed of the outer guards and variables conditions, leaving only the main entrance still intact with a complete team of guards.

    The Trident Tail Elder Ram ride by Gu Pang, quickly charge towards the Main Gate without intention to stop, as they receive the notice in the sky, released by the Rainbow Elder Sparrow.

    "Stop right there! Who are you!"

    The guards panic for a moment, but hold their stance and ready to shut their gate immediately as they saw the charging Trident Tail Elder Ram have no intention to stop.

    But how fast could a human hand move? The four practitioner quickly close both sides of the door, but before they manage to seal it perfectly with the heavy Arsalite steel rod, the Trident Tail Elder Ram had the door smashed into small little bits.

    Gu Pang, dressed in black, smash his hammer together to create sound waves that capable to immobilized the opponent reaction, and without any chances is given, The 18 groups of Special Ops team that manage to infiltrate the building, proceed with their previous tactics.

    Water Dragon Cannon is tossed all around the Blood Shadow Sect vicinity, and the explosion happened everywhere, bringing the whole Blood Shadow Sect down, leaving only destroyed houses, and incomplete buildings scattered along almost everywhere.

    "Argh!"

    Blood Shadow Sect Leader quickly emerge in between of the rubbles and push his strength to the utmost limit, and charge towards the 6 of them."

    "Xiao Yi, Xiao Qing, his treasure is must suitable for you both, so go and fight him to retrieve the treasure in his hand."

    "Understood!"

    With a word, two people charge toward the Sect leader and began to fight.

    More than qualified to be called as their sect leader, he could actually fight two Middle Spiritual Stage practitioner on his own. Without any side gaining any advantages, Altima began to hesitate to join the fight.

    But to his own understanding, this moment is where the Ferocious General''s Troops to gain their experience. Altima understands his previous weakness and failure to become a great leader, which ends with being betrayed before he reincarnated, but for this life, he wishes to make a different.

    "Yi, focus on his treasure."

    "Qing, make sure you hit your opponent directly, not grazing him and let him gain advantages."

    "How bout you four come along as well? I am itching for a good match, this two lady is too weak, they can''t even match me in overall strength."

    Altima advise both of them in between of the battle, but due to the experience within the Blood Shadow Sect Leader is much more profound than the two team members, they still failed to obtain any advantages until now.

    Very soon, the Sect Leader withdraw another treasure to lock into his right wrist.

    "So, this Sect Leader really have three Spiritual Stage Treasure within him, no wonder the combination of Yi and Qing cannot easily defeat him."

    "Fang, you wanna participate along ?"

    Altima checked with their youngest member.

    "I''ll go for it even if you don¡¯t mention."

    Fang Mu prepared himself, and like a loose arrow, he charges toward the sect leader and waving his Sword in a very dangerous curve.

    Three versus one now, the sect leader started to get fewer advantages in his martial prowess, but due to his well-tempered body, he still manages to resist for a while, until Qing Yi managed to Chop his hand when he was unaware of the Sword''s direction.

    "Argh! I will make sure you all get killed together with me!"

    The Sect Leader started to get even furious from his injuries, emitting a more bloody aura, he quickly moves towards a small pond and jumps into the pond of water.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

    Within the bottom of the pond, hides a wooden box, and with the box is destroyed, three drops of blood floats out from the water, undiluted by any of the water as it floats to the air.

    "You are the one forcing me to use this method to achieve victory!"

    The Sect Leader quickly absorb the three droplets of blood into his body.

    But unfortunately.

    "Great Way of Yin Freezing Sutra!"

    Qing Yi and Shi-Wen Qing quickly freeze the Sect Leader''s movement and turn him into an ice sculpture before he manages to absorb the three droplets of blood.

    "Qing Yi, Wen Qing, you two have the most contribution in this fight this time. Other than one droplet of the blood is required to be given to elder Ling Hu, this two droplet of blood should belong to you two."

    "Fang Mu, after my side had finish refined the treasure, you will be getting two Spiritual treasure while one more will be distributed to one of you guys!"

    Altima speaks to the Ferocious General''s Troops before he turned to the 120 Special Ops team, and reward the best among them with a Spiritual Treasure.

    "Long Live General! Long Live General!"

    (If one is unlucky to accidently refine an Insect Bloodline into their Reptile Bloodline, of course, the successful refine rate is at 0% success.)

    The droplet is refine-able by a human as well, giving them a ridiculous amount of burst in their strength for a short moment, without any side effect.

    "Albert Valesk, you asked my lord?"

    "This name is very well known in the 16 continent, even during my apprenticeship with my master, I once read about this name before."

    "He is the world first known Zen Smith honored within the 16 Continent."

    "Product made by him is precious, and I would never imagine I have a chance to have a look on this Chainmail made by him."

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Run! Quickly run and leave that carriage aside!"

    The Yang Escort Agency members are quickly dispersing from the crossroad due to being strike from three different direction.

    From the 15th State City Side, the City Lord had the nearby mercenaries group to disguise as a band of bandits to rob the escort carriages.

    From the 48th Capital City, the Elder Duke as well had his own similar counterpart to disguised as the rogue cultivators and bandits to totally place this losses fault back to the 13th State City Lord.

    And lastly, from the Spirit Beast Clan, where the (SHEN) family is plotting to rob the resources in between of the fray, to become the fisherman that waiting in the middle of the fight to benefit the most.

    Blocked from three directions, the Yang Escort Family received the most severe damage, where only after 6 hours of departure, the carriage team had already had their fighting forces decreased from a total of 10,000 members to merely 3,000 members left. One of their Elder is even killed in action when the first two side appeared without any notice.

    Soon, without any power to resist at all, the leftover 3,000 members of the Yang Escort Agency is all killed in action, and the tributes delivered within the carriage is estimated to be robbed.

    Only those who is really within that area will know what happen after that.

    Two forces of the bandit fought to obtain the right to retrieve the robbed cultivating medicine.

    The first force started to gain advantages, as their total number of the stronger practitioner is higher than another.

    Soon, when the losing bandit force is started to get killed totally, they resort to only grabbing whatever they could and leave without looking back.

    Among the first 5,000,000 Medicinal Pills, a total of 500,000 is managed to be obtained, but the others are all lost to the first group of bandits.

    But before the winning bandit faction managed to withdraw, they are attacked by another group of cultivators, disguise and helped with Demonic Beast, they quickly gain advantages. But no matter how strong the group of ambushers are, a mere 1,000 cultivators with their personal demonic beast, they only managed to obtain a total of 3,000,000 pills as their result, leaving 1,500,000 for the winning bandit''s side to bring back to their stronghold.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    "My Lord, we only manage to retrieve a total of 500,000 pills this time."

    The mercenaries from the 15th State City finally returned to their base, and reports to their troop leader.

    Receiving all the stolen goods, the Troop leader quickly present the pills to their City lord, where later a total of 50,000 pills is distributed to those who is still surviving in their special mission.

    The City lord Michael had usurped another total of 50,000 pills to his own stash, before he presents a total of 200,000 pills to the delegates that specially positioned by his side to receive this "tributes".

    "This Elder Duke Puyan is seriously sneaky! How dare he even sent a group of cultivators to divide a portion of this tributes as well."

    "He even dare to have a delegate to be positioned here so once the harvest returned, he would have another portion to go into his hand."

    "I am really reckless this time. You guys should be more wary of those people that came from capital, they might be coming with some motive next time after they know we had our strength increase for a little."

    "Understood, My Lord!"

    The 15th State City Lord, Michael is dissatisfied with Elder Duke Puyan''s trickery, but as he got no other proof, he decided to place this dissatisfaction feeling aside.

    Meanwhile within the (SHEN) family.

    "Elder Shen Ming, this is the 3,000,000 Pills that we managed to steal from the tribute carriage."

    The lead practitioner confidently presents all the medicinal pills to the elder and try to obtain his praise.

    "Good! What a good job. Take 100,000 pills and distribute among those who participates, and I will have the leftover sent to Honorary Elder Shen Tu, you can just wait for his good news once he happy with your performance."

    Elder Shen Ming replied.

    "Thank you, Elder Shen Ming, for your kindness, I represent our other juniors of the Inner Clan Disciple to say thank you for your care."

    The lead practitioner withdraws a total of 100,000 pills and leaves with hurry.

    "Ha Ha Ha! Stupid kids, await master Shen Tu to rewards you? Go dream on."

    Elder Shen Ming keeps the remaining pills and head deeper into the (SHEN) family building.

    "What a stingy old man, we depart in a total of 1,000 people and return only with 700 people left, with this 100,000 pills, each of us only could get 7,000 pills. This doesn¡¯t worth the hassle at all."

    The Lead practitioner is dissatisfied with the elder''s stingy arrangement, but he dares not to complain in front of the elder.

    Meanwhile, in the 48th Capital City, the Elder Duke Michael is thrown a tantrum.

    "Useless trash! A total of 5,000,000 Pills and you all only manage to keep 1,500,000 Pills ?"

    "For what use I have you all hired here? You guys deserve to be killed during the fight when you are at it!"

    Elder Duke Puyan throwing a large tantrum towards the quiet troops in front of him.

    Although the troops are angry, but they dare not to fight back Elder Duke''s word, because even though he is lecherous and full of trash talking kind of person, he is still a cultivator of Middle Kun Tier. (Between Spiritual Kun to Soul Kun Tier)

    "Get lost from my sight before I had you all killed!"

    Elder Duke Puyan dismissed all the troops without rewards, causing the troops to be totally dissatisfied with his attitude but failed to speak it out.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "How is the progress going on ?"

    Altima checked the status with the others.

    "The battle is over, from the report, its seems to be total annihilation for the Yang Escort Agency."

    "The 15th State City side seems to be losing around 2,000 cultivators, from their initial 5,000 cultivators sent."

    "The 48th Capital City seems to be losing around 3,000 cultivators because they had to face attack from the Yang Escort Agency, The 15th State City, and the Spirit Beast Clan side. But initially they had sent around 10,000 cultivators, so they roughly have about 7,000 cultivators returning at the end."

    "The Spirit Beast Clan side seems to send the least cultivator, close to 1,000 manpower. But from the report, seems like about 300 of them is killed during the fight."

    The groups of scouts from Altima''s Special Ops team report their findings.

    "We will proceed with our next step. Lord Wei, it''s your time to shine."

    Altima looked at Lord Wei before he speaks.

    "Of course! Let us see who is trying to get a piece of this bone."

    Lord Wei replied.

    Why would the 13th State City is so confident in this plan?

    Easy.

    All the cultivating medicine is concocted by Altima with Pang Yan personally, with the further strengthen and upgraded version of Parasitic Medicinal Disease. Upon consumption, they will immediately infect the cultivator and lead them to death within the period of a week.

    With the request to force 13th State City to provide such an amount of tributes, can the Capital still request for antidotes without giving out a portion of their available wealth?

 Chapter 110 - Havoc in 48th State Capital City!

    With all the turmoil and trouble is handled, the next day, the 13th State City is greeted with two big news.

    Blood Shadow Sect is totally annihilated in the period of a night as well. The motive is most likely because of personal blood feuds. The whole Blood Sect is massacred, leaving no witness to see through the whole incident.

    Another incident is regarding the Tribute carriage robbery case. Unfortunately, the Yang Escort Agency is unable to carry the responsibility for failure to protect the tributes, so the Yang Escort Agency is disbanded, and been thrown to exile.

    A few days later, external news regarding there is a new outbreak of the Parasitic Medicinal Disease in the Capital City, the 15th State City, and the Spirit Beast Clan is widely spread towards the outer state. Although the antidote preparation is available, but it is barely enough due to the previous two city had closed their doors towards the 13th State City request for assistance.

    Due to this matter, 13th State City is reportedly exhausted their resources to prepare the ingredient for the antidote concoction. But instead of being a petty person regarding the previous issue, The 13th State City Lord instead promised to concoct the antidotes if the two city willing to share the resources or ingredients to concoct the antidotes.

    At first, the Capital City Elder Duke disagreed with the demand, but as much as the 13th State city could help, they can only provide a few antidotes to the Capital City. Out of resources, the 13th State city soon failed to provide any more antidotes to the Capital City, resulting from the casualties due to the parasitic medicinal disease turn even worst.

    The 15th state city tried to snatch the antidotes sent by the 13th State City to the Capital but failed to do so as the convoy sent to protect the antidotes is too strong to be ambushed.

    Meanwhile, in the Spirit Beast Clan, the (SHEN) family is suffering the most due to the Parasitic Medicinal Disease. Added with the question regarding why there is a number of casualties without any reports within the Inner Clan Disciple, the (SHEN) family is pressed with the charges of conducting private military or shady business carrying the Spirit Beast Clan good name.

    Due to this matter, the (SHEN) family faction quickly getting weaker in strength, and most of their responsibility is taken over by the (CHEN), (MING), and (LING) family. At the current state, the (SHEN) family had dropped to the weakest family among the four major families within the Spirit Beast Clan.

    As for the demand for antidotes, under the protection from Elder Ling Hu and Elder Ling Qing that positioned within the 13th State City all the time, the (SHEN) family elder failed to obtain any antidotes, under the reason Altima is fallen to sickness due to constantly concoction for the antidotes.

    Soon, the 15th State city started to distribute a major amount of fund, amounting about 10,000,000 Balancing Zen Pills worth, to request for a lot of Antidotes to be delivered to their city to assist in fighting the disease. Of course, under the reasoning of requiring some time to prepare the antidotes ingredient and other matters, the medicine only able to be delivered to the 15th State City after a total of 8 days waiting time.

    During the period of time, a lot of refugees escape the city and take their effort to migrate into the 13th State City to look for the vaccination.

    Under strict regulations and health condition check, many refugees are allowed to enter the city, but only through one batch after another.

    Soon, the outbreak in the 15th State City is roughly controlled, guessing at least one more week required before they could totally get rid of the disease outbreak within the city.

    But due to this Disease Outbreak, the City population had dropped from a total of 3,500,000 residents and 2,000,000 Troops, to only 1,500,000 Residents and around 800,000 troops is still remained within the city. Among the 2,000,000 residents and 1,200,000 troops that lost, about half of them actually migrated to the 13th State City, and obtained a temporary resident pass to contribute within the city in return of obtaining the Antidotes and Vaccination, while others are reportedly death due to the disease outbreak.

    Next, the (SHEN) family issue is reportedly solved as well. Upon receiving antidotes, most of the inner clan disciple disease is totally cured, but the (SHEN) family is taken down from the four major families in the Spirit Beast Clan. Few of their elder is reprimand for being unable to control the cultivators under their wings, and the lead practitioner with the other 700 disciples Is all being crippled from their cultivation before exiled from the Spirit Beast Clan.

    The issue within the Capital City had escalated into a much serious issue.Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

    Due to the disease outbreak had already disturbed the peacefulness of the Capital City, this causes the Grand Duke side to be alarmed, and further precaution actions is taken.

    Due to this issue is affecting the performance of the 48th State Capital City, Elder Duke Tu Puyan is having his life hanging in the middle of a thread now.

    The prostitution Pavilion within the City is destroyed in the first night, and those who is involved with the prostitution is all slaughtered without any reasoning required.

    In the second night, the soldiers that failed to perform their duties is disposed and kill without any needs of explanations, directly taking off a big chunk of military strength within the 48th Capital City.

    In the third night, the personal business related to the Elder Duke is all searched, sealed and confiscated, before all the reports regarding Elder Duke Tu Puyan''s misconduct are brought up.

    With all the reports regarding his misconduct, failure to deliver the required tributes and misuse his authority to conduct non-related to his responsibility matter.

    With this all failure to perform, The Elder Duke Tu Puyan is imprisoned, along with his 21 Wives and 40 Childs, his elder and brother sisters as well.

    Within the fifth night, the total 108 number of Heads within the Tu Family, is all beheaded together by a total of 108 Kun Tier Law Enforcers that sent from the Grand Duke''s side.

    With this news is spread out to the 13th to 16th State City, all the state city is required to prepare for a new Elder Duke to be promoted, or elected to seat on this 48th State Capital City position.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Brother Altima, I really hope you can stay with us a little longer."

    Lord Wei honestly commented, trying to keep Altima longer on his side.

    "I would like too, but you need to understand, I got my own task and mission to accomplish within the Spirit Beast Clan as well."

    Altima replied.

    Soon, the duo continue their small little chats, until the time had reach for them to return to the Spirit Beast Clan.

    "Hung!!!"

    A loud bell kind of sound is spreading towards the direction where Altima and Lord Wei is speaking, making their words totally overshadowed by the sound waves.

    Far away from the direction, Altima could sense a group of practitioner slowly descend from the sky, riding their Demonic Beast majestically.

    "This is the Green Envoy from The Grand Duke of the West, Grand Duke Grandiose! I have the Highest Command of the Grand Duke of West to be presented! All people within the city, Heed to my calls, and kneel to your Grand Duke''s Authority!"

    The Peak Emperor of Kun Tier Envoy spread his essence around the whole city, and everyone, included the pregnant, old, or young, all is forced to kneel as if its automatically done.

    "Under the Grand Duke Grandiose''s benevolent, the 13th State City lord, Wei Chang, is recognized by the Grand Duke and the other Examiner due to his capability to handle the threat perfectly, and managing the City during the tough period when the disease outbreak happens."

    "Hereby, the Grand Duke Grandiose decided to promote Lord Wei, from the position of the City Lord, into the position as an Elder Duke. We hereby award you with the Plaque of Capital, and you are to heed the command directly from the Grand Duke Grandiose himself whenever required."

    "This is the Tome of Elder Duke and the Regulations Scrolls of the Elder Duke. Within will have all the required information on how you can utilize your position to serve your lord better, as well as your Do and Don''t!"

    "In the period of one Week, we will expect you to choose a sufficient and qualified person to take over the new 13th State City, previously known as the 48th State Capital City and make it flourish once again."

    The Green Envoy delivered all the message he required to deliver and whispered a simple sentence only heard by Grand Elder Wei himself.

    "You are allowed to act as you deem fit, regarding the Spirit Beast Clan''s (SHEN) Family, and the 15th State City Lord, Michael, and we will expect no delays from your next upcoming tributes to the Grand Elder Grandiose Faction."

    "because you are recently promoted, we will only expect a total of 1,000,000 Raising Zen Pill worth of resources from you as leniency, you may use any method to obtain this, but if you failed to deliver, you will be sacked from your current position."

    The Green Envoy finish his word, and soon, the group retreated from the newly named 48th State Capital City, and withdraw from the 48th State altogether.

    "Brother Altima, I.."

    Elder Duke Wei, is totally speechless with his current position, and due to the shock.

    But as he regains his consciousness, he started with a word.

    "Citizens! Thank you for your support, but we are in a rush to make things better! I would expect nobody to be sober tonight! And let us strive to become the best Capital this time, before the period of our next Tributes!"

    Silently, Altima withdraws with his group and leave the newly crowned Capital City without any words.

    Not because Altima is worried about Elder Duke Wei will request for more help from him again, but it''s because if he still remains within the Capital City, Elder Duke Wei will be having difficulties in repaying Altima''s kindness and help.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the period of one month, a wide change has happened within the 48th State.

    But within the Spirit Beast Clan, nothing much has changed.

    The (SHEN) Family finally decided to withdraw from the fight for power within the Spirit Beast Clan, allowing the Clan Inner and Outer Disciple to have a better space to breath and advance as they see fit.

    In the same time, after Altima return to the Clan, he had been thoroughly awarded for his valiant bravery and great assistance to the newly appointed Elder Duke Wei, and receive a bonus 100,000 Points on top of his deserved 200,000 contribution points.

    With a total of 300,000 Contribution Points in hand, Altima started to feel undecided to choose for the item he wished to exchange.

    Meanwhile, within the (LING) family hall.

    "I wouldn¡¯t dare to imagine that this kid seriously manages to bring his status up by so much only within this few month."

    "Yes, elder brother, This kid seriously never disappointed our expectation."

    "what do you think about this, Hu ?"

    "I always confident with my choices. I dare to say Altima is the best I ever got this time."

    "Big brother, what is this kid''s position within the Outer disciple now ?"

    "From my previous checking, currently this kid is placed within the top 100 Outer Disciple. Barely good enough to enter the 100 with his remaining 5 friends."

    "That should be fine, at least this entitled him to participate in the once a year Autumn Hunt."

    "Ha Ha Ha! I wonder how would that kid fare within that Cosmo Realm."

    "I am anticipating that reaction as well too. He should reach the time to explore and know the words (There is Always a Universe above your Universe)."

    "Let us awaits this moment to come then, there is about 1 more month to go before that kid is going to enter the Autumn Hunt."

    (0 Deduction from Residence due to mission requirement)

 Chapter 111 - Upgrade!

    With a large number of Contribution points is available in hand, Altima started to have some slight hesitation to choose for the ingredient and treasures he should be exchanging before he returns to his spatial realm.

    But as he hesitates, Altima bracelet on his hand suddenly tightened and Mobi seems to be in a critical condition.

    "Brother Mobi, what¡¯s wrong ?"

    Altima quickly rushes towards his room direction, while keep whispering to Mobi.

    "I''m... Too full."

    Since the starting of the mission, Altima had been feeding countless amount of Metallurgy produce to Mobi without stopping, which is why Mobi had been so quiet during the period Altima is serving under Elder Duke Wei''s order.

    But after being in idle mode for almost 2 months, Mobi finally gave a reaction, and this reaction is long awaited by Altima.

    Within the room, Altima tried to enter the Private Cultivation Farm, but soon he realized that the Farm had been blocked from entry.

    "Oh, Shit! Why can¡¯t this farm be opened when I need to enter it ?"

    "Wait, it didn¡¯t even lock before, don¡¯t tell me everything within will be forced to exit as well ?"

    Altima expecting the worst of the worst will come without notice, so as preparation, he quickly enters the Thunder Realm owned by the Ferocious General''s Troops, and prepare for the worst happening within.

    Luckily the realm has nobody within, so Altima''s panic couldn¡¯t be seen by anyone else.

    But what he expect doesn¡¯t arrive.

    The resident within the Private Cultivation Farm is safe from being evicted from the farm, but Altima could not enter the farm either.

    Soon, Altima has no choice, but to awaits Mobi to complete his upgrade.

    Altima release Mobi within the Thunder Realm, and allow Mobi to slowly materialize himself through many different colors, varies from one to another each time he smiles, grin, angry, cry, happy or sad.

    Exiting the Realm, Altima heads toward the Exchange Hall to check on the treasures available within the hall, and coincidently, not one, not two, but three specific treasure is listed within the parchment list that manages to attract Altima''s attention and interest.

    The senior brother hesitates to exchange the item to Altima, as he knows that among the few special treasures available within the exchange hall, this few item chosen by Altima Is totally rubbish that rejected by the other disciple and even the elders within the Clan.

    "I''m sure. Perhaps I would have a method to utilize this 3 different item."

    "But senior brother, do the hall carries an equivalent value of Yin rich treasure too ?"

    Altima shouted.

    "Here!"

    As the met, Altima''s special Interface ability appeared once again, showing him all the improvement from Mobi''s Rank Up.

    What is most ridiculous is, due to Mobi''s greediness in consuming more than he can refine in that moment, he actually forces himself to refine an amount exceed his body capability, causing him to have the feeling of difficulty in constipation without any help.

    But thanks to that greediness, Altima had a double of surprises this time.

    "I''m amazing, right? This time I can even use a new skill, Primordial Incantation to increase your battle strength for one whole stage."

    Mobi shows off his special new skill to Altima, knowing he will be impressed.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Current Contribution Points: 114,010

    (200,000 Deducted from Exchange Hall)

 Chapter 112 - Advance to Soul Stage!

    With Mobi''s capability had been upgraded, Altima cultivation speed naturally increases by leap and bounds. Without any border to block him from his cultivation, Altima quickly climbs, from the 7th stage to 8th Spiritual Body within a week.

    But the improvement doesn¡¯t stop there. Altima took another week to charge from the border of the 8th stage, and quickly enter the 9th stage, possessing a total of 9 Spiritual Body Parts.

    After spending another total of 100,000 Contribution Points in the Exchange Hall, Altima concocts a large amount of Intermediate Profound Zen Pills, and preparing himself to break through the Spiritual Stage, and advance himself to the Soul Stage cultivation.

    Before he started, Altima prepared himself with a few relevant requirements.

    First, he had a large amount of Extreme Yin Extract, and Extreme Yang Extract to be ready within his reach, together with a large number of Raising Zen Pill, as his backup as if he required replenishing of Zen Essence. Second, Altima spent the previous two weeks to heavily refine a large number of Thunder Tempering Pellet from the Thunder Realm, and as well exchange a few type of different Tempering Pellet, such as Fire Tempering Pellet, Frost Tempering Pellet, Pressure Tempering Pellet, and a small number of Dark and Holy Tempering Pellet to prepare himself to temper his Spiritual Body.

    Secondly, Altima had his Meng Jiang Spear to be positioned at his side, Along with his few different treasure such as the Mystical Blazing Yang and Frozen Yin Concept Orb, along with one more special Treasure, which is the Empty Realm Stone he recently bought, together with the Mutated Dragon Tongue Plant.

    Lastly, Altima had Scarlet King and Tian to be around his side, Although it might be not important for them to be there, but an advancement towards a Soul Stage is not to be taken lightly. To Form a Soul of Dao, the cultivator first must obtain enlightenment regarding his path of cultivation.

    For Altima, His path of Cultivation deviates from two different paths. Revenge and Ascension.

    Being still regretful in his own weaknesses, Altima path to revenge could generate enough possibility for him to thread forward in his cultivation. Tied with the feeling with many mortals, Altima still felt revengeful with how he was betrayed, and forced to reborn in a new realm.

    Because of his weakness in heart, Altima has hesitations. Hesitation in advancing because he is weak. Hesitation in advancing because he cannot leave his brothers alone. Hesitation in advancing because he has a responsibility to achieve his promises. Hesitation and hesitations.

    Because of his weakness in the body, Altima faces few near death situation. Because he is not as ruthless as he thought, he was ambushed, bullied, and taken advantages of. Because he is gentle, he was forced to comply with many matters. But a weakness is still a source of strength, because of all this, he is here, before the path to Soul Stage of Zen Tier.

    But on the path of ascension, the difference is totally opposite.

    Altima knowledge in Concoction, Martial arts, and Life.

    This three main factor that leads his life towards until now, is his biggest inspiration to Ascend.

    Altima knows.

    His interest in achieving higher understanding in Martial arts is what bringing him to where he is now,

    His interest in Concoction is what lead his life to where he is currently,

    His life with his parents, brotherhood, masters and Elders, the Ferocious General''s Troops, and the Elder Duke Wei, is what motivate him to get stronger, so he could be their pillar of strength as they went onwards in life.

    Along with his path, Altima is succeeding two legacies.

    The first Legacies is with Goldenlock.

    Carrying his will of regrets, Altima had to bring with him the carefulness and awareness of Goldenlock''s legacies, which is the main path for him to thread forward into the path of Revenge.

    The second Legacies is with the Sung Dynasties. Although the Sung Dynasties had met their demise, the record within their legacies is nowhere but advice and guidance. Which serve as the path of Ascension.

    If he chose to carry the Legacies with The Sung Dynasties, Its means Altima had decided to leave the mortal mind and decided to focus only on his cultivation, and ascension.

    Perhaps, in the mortal mind, this is a selfish behavior, but who is who to judge somebody''s decision?

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    With all the preparation, Altima started his Advancement Cultivation.

    Pushing his strength to its limit, Altima absorbs a large amount of Zen Essence stored within the remaining balance of the Intermediate Profound Zen Pills.

    The waves that were circling around the Kun Grade Cultivating Formation quickly get rougher and harder, causing Gunther, Mo Yue, Tian and Scarlet King to get a harder grip on the ground, resisting from being blown into the center of the waves.

    Soon, colorful undulation of energy is released, where Altima''s 9 Spiritual Body quickly flew to the middle of the wave, creating a vortex that is strong enough to control all the available essence within its grasp.

    The Tempering Pellets quickly fade in color, which means the absorption is starting. In a blink of eyes, all the Tempering Pellets had its elemental Essence absorbed, and slowly turning into ashes as the wave continue to circle around the Formation.

    Soon, the Mystical Frozen Yin and Mystical Blazing Yang Concept Orb flew and floats on the air, positioned behind the Soul Body formed by the 9 Spiritual Body, and turning around like a Halo ring.If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

    As the Halo Ring formed by the concept orb continue to turn, the Meng Jiang Spear floats along, and pierce through the center of the Halo Circle, and flew to the Right arm, to the reach of the Soul Body.

    But before the Soul Body move its hand to grab the spear, All the Extreme Extracts exploded, and the released Yin and Yang Essence ferociously flew up to the Soul Body, and assimilating with the body within the Vortex, to form a Red and Blue figure, Strong and well built, and emitting an aura that nobody could match.

    The Empty Realm Stone floats to the left hand of the Soul Body, and the Dragon Tongue to the middle of the chest of the Soul Body.

    With this few treasures is in order, The wave that was circling around the formation, suddenly goes berserk and rush towards all over the whole Cultivation farm.

    Shocked with the crazily charging line of waves that seems alive, none of the living within the Realm dare to make any extreme movement.

    A few parts of the waves fly to the direction of the west and form into a tornado before it rammed towards the Mineral Vein and the Metal Vein. Upon the harsh but physical-less clash, a large number of assorted metals and jades is extracted from the outer side of the vein and circling around the tornado as it returns to the Northern side.

    One more part of the wave actually goes berserk in the middle of the Forest of Growth and the Pond of Delicacies.

    The Similar tornado is formed, and without controls, a variety of medicinal ingredients, plants, and Delicacies such as crabs, lobsters, fishes, and many freshwater products quickly followed the tornado as it returns towards the north.

    Another Tornado goes unrest in the direction where the elves reside.

    Gently charge across the residential area and along the Skylight Tower Tree, as if the gentle tornado have the capability to absorb the purest essence of the tree, a number of different ingredients started to be unveiled from the tree, before it followed the tornado to return north.

    With all the item grabbed along by the tornado charged towards the vortex, the Soul Body started to form. From the Red and Blue body, a color of a human flesh started to form, and the internal organs within the Soul Body started to beat faster.

    The Yin and Yang Essence that absorbed a while ago start to become the blood and substance that will flow through the body and allows the vein to be filled with energy.

    The Ingredient from the Tree became the hair, the internal Veins, the skin, and the nails for the Soul Body.

    The metal and Jades formed into the Skull, the bones and the remaining into the Yin and Yang Orb, and the Spear.

    The delicacies quickly formed into the flesh, and fill the Soul body fully, allowing the body to seem buff, firm and strong.

    And lastly, the Medicinal Ingredients, quickly form into a substance, that enters the Dragon Tongue and allowing the dragon Tongue to merge with the Empty Realm Stone before it returns to the left side of the Soul Body.

    With this all completed, the Soul Body vanished from the vortex.

    As it reappeared, The Vortex came out from Altima that seated in his cultivating posture, and forcefully pull him up floating on the air!

    The vortex quickly envelops Altima whole body, and later, the submerge from the vortex is the body that recently formed under everyone''s eyes. The body is stark naked, only to be dressed with a heavy and concentrated amount of Zen Essence energy, as the body slowly revealed by the vortex.

    The left hand is holding the Empty Realm Stone that recently Zen-Refined, and same with the Right, where the Spear Tip is finally embedded with a piece of Orb that visibly seen in the middle of the metal Tip. Another Piece of the orb is beautifully embedded in the base of the pommel, significantly distinguish the Yin and Yang.

    As the newly form figure opened its eyes, a red string is spread towards Tian, Scarlet King, and one more to the invisible air.

    Vanishing slowly, all the abnormal appearance disappeared, only leaving the body within the Kun Grade Cultivating Formation.

    Soul and Body Combination!

    Advance Successful!

    First Stage Soul Practitioner of Zen Tier!

    After going through so much ordeal, Altima finally success in his advancement, and entering the First Stage of Soul Practitioner!

    With the rank of his cultivation successfully advances into the Upper Heaven Rank, Altima receives a ridiculous Boost in his strength, physical condition, as well as capability.

    Never once in life, one successfully break through the Lower Heaven Rank in such Perfection way!

    Altima''s Preparation successfully allowed him to advance in a perfect way, allowing him to advance into the Upper Heaven under the phenomenon known as,

    "Perfect Soul Ascension Body"

    To obtain this perfect ascension body, One need to obtain the luckiest and most compatible Legacies within his path, without deviating from the origin of his path.

    Of course, Altima chose the path of Revenge, where he still could not cast away his Mortal emotion.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Name: Altima El Mist

    Age: 12 / Male

    Cultivator of 1st Stage Perfect Soul Practitioner of Zen Tier

    Perfect Soul Stage

    Different from the basic Soul Practitioner, the Perfect Soul Stage required one to be forming the Soul Body again and again for a total of 8 times before one could advance into the Dao Stage. A total of 8 different Soul Body is required to be created, bearing a different Nature each time they are formed to allow one to achieve a perfect Heaven Cultivation.

    Lake (Zhui) Soul - Yet to be Formed

    Wind (Xun) Soul - Yet to be Formed

    Water (Kan) Soul - Yet to be Formed

    Mountain (Gen) Soul - Yet to be Formed

    Unable to bring over to compare with the usual Soul Stage cultivator, a Perfect Soul Cultivator required having a total of 8 different Soul formed in 8 different Nature. (except Heaven as that is formed during the success of entering Soul Cultivation Stage)

    Each Soul required having a deeper enlightenment, allowing one to achieve the deepest essence of meaning regarding the specific of nature and its perfection. With each soul formed, the cultivator will achieve a different strength, depending importantly on each Soul itself.

    The Differences between a normal Soul Cultivator and a Perfect Soul Cultivator is in the type of Soul they could form. A Thunder (Zhen) Soul cultivator may form up to 8 thunder soul to achieve his Dao, or some may utilize a mixture of 4 different Soul Nature to achieve his Dao. But for a Perfect Soul Cultivator, they are restricted to form a total of 8 different Soul Nature, to allow them to achieve their Dao.

    Organized by an unknown entity, this Ridiculously big Spatial Realm with its own ecosystem, opened only once a year to allow all Outer Disciple within each faction to participate.

    Of course, the requirement to participate not only restricted to only the outer disciple status, there is only 100 different entrance Tag is distributed to each faction, which means, only a hundred participants from each faction is allowed to enter this Realm.

    Within this so-called "Cosmo Realm", Survival of the Fittest, is the main accomplishment one would require to achieve.

    Abundant type and a number of resources are available everywhere, opened to everyone to collect.

    More than thousands type of Ingredient is available for those who could Concoct, Forge and Refine to craft.

    The demonic beast that is a rarity to the Rumanian world, is opened to tame and conquer.

    Treasures and Oddities, are out there for one to explore and look for.

    But without strength, one will have no qualification to obtain what mentioned above.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Without a doubt, the top 100 Outer disciples that were sent to the entrance of the Cosmo Realm, consist of the full team of the Ferocious General''s Troops.

    "Brother Gu, what do you think about the hunt this time ?"

    Fang Mu inquire about Gu Pang''s mindset.

    "Nothing much, from my senior brother word before I left, he remind us to be very careful in a location known as the Bloody Lotus Marsh."

    Gu Pang reminded every one of his senior brother''s advice.

    "Our senior sister that reside between me and Qing Yi also reminded us to be vary with the quietness of the Mirage Mountain Peak."

    Shi-Wen Qing added.

    Through a simple view on the six of them, except Fang Mu who still at his Middle Spiritual Stage, Gu Pang, Wu Chung, Qing Yi, Wen Qing already reach their peak in Spiritual Stage of Zen Tier, and preparing to enter the Soul Stage, when the time and chances are correct.

    A day before, the group is still shocked with Altima''s advancement into the Soul Stage.

    "How about you, Brother Altima? Did the (LING) Family remind you of a certain matter ?"

    Wu Chung starts another new question.

    "They did. Elder Ling Hu did advise me to lead the group accordingly depending on the situation. Never be too greedy with what is laid in front of you, and never be afraid if met with certain threats."

    "A Cultivator most important thing is their life. Believe in their own capability, but what''s more, is to believe in their intuition. Being above a basic Spiritual Cultivator, your Spiritual Sense could guide you to a better situation, but as long you believe in it."

    "And lastly, it''s regarding the dangerous location and people within the Autumn Hunt."

    "Based on our strength at the moment, what is most dangerous is not the people from the bigger faction, but people from the smaller one as well on our own side."

    "The Strong will only compete with those within their ranks, but those from the bottom will feed on whatever they could get. If we are not cautious enough, we might become their feed on their way up above."

    "From what I can see now, (Altima used twice of his Full Scan ability, to sense the available number of biggest threat and categorize them in the group) There is at least 50 different members of our group, is awaiting the chances to get rid of us before everything started."

    "Who is the guy with Green Jade Armor and a space attribute long sword ?"

    Altima uses his eye to set a target and had his group to recognize a few face.

    "Brother Altima, that person is the 81st Ranked Outer Disciple, Han Ming. Heard that nine of the best cultivator is within this Autumn hunt, allowing him to have a 10 man team."

    "How about that sinister looking midget there?

    "Brother Altima, that person is the 41st Ranked Outer Disciple, Luo Zhen from the Elder Duke Luo of 47th State! I heard he got around 5 man team as well, all of them within Early Soul to Peak Soul Stage."

    "And lastly, the one with a fan on his hand, and two female cultivators on his lap."

    "That''s¡­."

    "What''s wrong ?"

    "That¡¯s our top Disciple of Outer Clan, Shi-Wen Qing''s Maternal Cousin. Shi-Wen Wu."

    "Impossible he have any motive to do with us, as long Wen Qing is here with us."

    "He is in his Early Emperor Stage currently, being hailed as the genius among the Main Shi Family."

    "How many members of his group ?"

    "Should be around 50 participants this time is within his group."

    "Let us beware of this 3 group during our 1 month period within the Autumn Hunt Cosmo Realm."

    The Ferocious General''s Troops quickly discuss all the possibly threat, and very quickly, the Spirit Beast Clan participants reached the entrance to the Hunt, and join along with at least a total of 2,000 participants from 19 other different Faction.

    Standing on the front, is the strongest four Faction In the Continent, lead by the four Ancient Kingdom.

    In the middle, a total of five groups of Cultivator is seen, representing the five Kingdom within the Continent.

    On the back, a total of 5 different group, is scattered quite wide among each other, representing a slightly smaller faction, as well as where Altima''s Spirit Beast Clan stands.

    And another six more group is seen banding up together, which is the average faction within the whole continent, where their strength barely comparable with any Smaller factions at all.

    Within the Sky, a Strike of lightning suddenly strikes towards the entrance of the Hunt Portal that opens widely, revealing a practitioner that floating on the air before the Portal.

    "Greetings! Young cultivator from the best twenty factions within the Flame Forest Continent."

    "I am the Envoy specially chosen by the Divinity Clan to explain the rules of this Autumn Hunt to you, participants before it starts."

    "First of all, Survival. Within this Realm, Only the surviving participants are calculated as the winner. Nothing else matter. Be it you manage to gather the most treasure, hold the strongest beast or anything else, if you survive the 64 difficult days within this realm and come out alive, you are a winner."This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

    "Second is your Mindset. Throw away your dignity, throw away your honor. One word of advice is, remember, if you don¡¯t survive, you are worth nothing but a trash within this realm."

    "Third, your opponent is not what within the realm, but is what''s around you."

    "Fourth, you may be greedy, you may not, you may be selfish, you may be righteous, but you may not take it easy, because if you take it easy, you will not survive."

    "Lastly, Take what you want, because, after this, you might not have chances to do it anymore."

    "Oh yeah! I almost forget one thing."

    "Any Spatial Ring below 3rd Grade is useless within this realm, if you don¡¯t want to have a hassle and seen all your treasure scattered within the floor, remember to pack yourself again!"

    "The Autumn Hunt! Starts! NOW!"

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Shit! Brother Altima, all of us have no fourth Grade Spatial Ring at all!"

    Wu Chung regretted.

    "Gunther! Mo Yue!"

    Altima whisper to his two Elder Blacksmith within his Private Cultivation Farm.

    "My lord, give me and Mo Yue 30 Minutes, we can quickly produce a total of 5 more Rank 4 Spatial Ring by then."

    Gunther replied Altima''s call, and immediately, the two Elder Blacksmith quickly start refining and forging the spatial ring with utmost care.

    "Guys lets standby over here for a moment before we rushed towards the Portal."

    Altima calms his teammates down before allowing them to proceed with any other planning, but in the same time, he ran a few Full Scan on nearby area, just to notice one specific similarity between each practitioner from the Ancient Kingdom and Kingdom participants.

    Each of their participants possesses a Spatial ring Rank 4 and above!

    "If this is the case, then I know what this means."

    "Guys, listen to me. I now starting to understand why the Envoy repeatedly mentioned about Survival of the Fittest, and Mindset, and be greedy."

    "It is because this Hunt will not only be between us against Nature, it will be Us against everything within!"

    "If we hesitate, we will lose first!"

    Altima explains the correct definition of the Survival of the Fittest and the Mindset to Survive in this Autumn Hunt.

    Thirty Minutes later, Altima withdraw a total of five Rank 4 Spatial Ring for each of his teammates to wear, and together they went into the Autumn Hunt Portal.

    "I guess, this few groups of kids is the best among all, although it is reckless for me to confirm how much of them will come out at the end."

    The Envoy commented.

    "Envoy El Mist."

    "Yes?"

    "The Heads of Envoy Hall request your return to the Hall immediately, it seems like they have a task for you to take care of."

    "I will be on my way, Envoy Absalem."

    "Don¡¯t be polite with me, we are the only few that still survive from the long gone Green Wave Continent."

    "Luck be on your way, Envoy El Mist."

    "Same to you, Envoy Absalem."

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Within the Autumn Hunt Cosmo Realm.

    "Alright kids, listen well here so we could cooperate and help each other in our best condition!"

    Qing Yi explanation Corner! As the group successfully entered the Cosmo Realm safely, Qing Yi had the 4 boys tied on the floor to listen to her explanation, helped by Wen Qing before the group started their venture into the deeper location away from the entrance.

    Cosmo Realm, or more likely to be called as World Realm at some point, is a Special Spatial Realm that possesses almost a mirror-like similarity with the World they branch upon.

    Within the Cosmo Realm, abundant resources always open for the fated one to obtain, without any ill feelings. Be it towards Beast, Treasures, and ingredients, as long one has the strength, they are allowed to obtain it.

    But one restriction remains.

    Not everyone has entitled the same rights of possession.

    No matter how Strength rules all over in every world.

    To possess what you wish for, first, you must need to have the strength to do your bidding.

    "Now, as you guys know where and what you should do here, let us decide a direction."

    "Towards North, we can see there is some Volcanic Mountain, Forest and some abandoned civilization along what your eyes could see."

    "Toward the East, a wide and open land of greeneries, Grassland and marsh could be seen."

    "Towards South, is where a Snowy Mountain formed. Along what we can saw, Mountains and mountains all along the way, and it doesn¡¯t seem to be ending from here."

    "And in the West, is a large number of opened caves and dangerous places, even some graveyard of the beast, and some poisonous marsh could be seen through naked eyes."

    "So, where should we starts ?"

    The groups are hit by a difficult question.

    "Since we have a period of 4 weeks within this Realm, Should we depart to each direction for the distance of a week ?"

    "It is not possible, a way deeper inside will take us half a week, and another half week to return, we will be ending up with too less to gain, too much to waste."

    How about we separate accordingly to our needs, and venture deeper with the mindset of gaining the best you could for yourself, and additionally for the others within the team ?"

    "Not a good option as well. What if we met with beast or opponent factions? We will end up with nothing within our hands and the end of the day."

    "Perhaps we could divide into two groups ?"

    "Bad suggestion, that¡¯s a ridiculous solution for our first and second choice."

    The group started their debates and weighing the Pro and Cons regarding their choices. But for Altima, he Extensively proceeds with his Full Scan, to search the most beneficial option according to his reports.

    "Instead of going Directly North, South, East or West, we will choose the one in the middle."

    Altima said. And without awaiting any replies, he continued.

    "From what I can sense, The direction towards the four sides is already been tracked by the group that went ahead of us."

    "Only through taking the much more different, route, we can escape from our own side of pursuit, while still benefits from this Autumn Hunt."

    "If our luck is good, we will still stumble across rare and odd treasures, but even if our luck is bad, would it be as worst as stumble across the Four Ancient Kingdom and the Five Great Kingdoms ?"

    The group assesses the threat between taking the straightforward route compared to the alternative route, and with a firm decision, they decided to go for Altima''s suggestion.

    Due to the possibility of achieving better results for the whole team, they decided to proceed with the North West direction.

    Mines and the dangerous location is located densely within the west, while the mountain area is located within the North, if they traveled in between, the possibility of obtaining better results in their harvest through this way is most efficient.

    Although the Volcanic Mountain area is not too suitable for Qing Yi and Shi-Wen Qing''s cultivation path, but in between of the route, there must be certain Yin Based location that is more beneficial for both of them instead.

    Without wasting any more of their precious time, the group quickly travel along with their path.

    "Gunther, Mo Yue, could you both give my Men Jiang Yin Yang Spear a check, and verify the Spatial Beads usability in this Cosmo Realm I''m residing currently ?"

    Altima whispered to his peoples within the realm.

    "No Worries my Lord. The Spatial Bead within the spear is an Early Zen Tier Treasure Beads, it won''t be affected at all."

    Gunther confidently reply.

    "If that¡¯s the case, then it''s good. Ta-Ruk, can the Elves be prepared if I need you all to come out for some Ingredient harvesting ?"

    Altima checked with the Elves Leader on their participation.

    "My Lord, we are always ready for you. Currently, 1,000 of us are all blessed with the Heritage Law, so we could contribute whenever required."

    "Our Fellow Friend Gunther and Mo Yue had prepared suitable equipment for the Elves as well, so all of us are well armed for battle."

    Ta-Ruk replied.

    "That¡¯s great, awaits my order and continue your own activities for now."

    Altima replied, and focus on their journey.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Stop! Please Stop!"

    A female cultivator is screaming as a group of 4 male cultivators is assaulting her tender body.

    "Please! Save me, somebody!"

    The female cultivator started to lose her sanity, as she started to get assaulted sexually, one by one from the male group.

    "Brother Luo, I would never expect that your sight on getting this (Delicacy) is so accurate. She is seriously delicious."

    A male cultivator just finishes releasing his (Seeds) within the female cultivator and returned to his big brother side to continue his boot-licking services.

    "I told you. As long you guys allow me to go first, I will make sure you all will be well (Satisfied) with what I had."

    Luo Zhen smirks and stared at another side behind the tall bushes.

    "Xiao Lan, haven''t you sucked them dry ?"

    Luo Zhen shouted.

    "Uh... Ah¡­ Uhh¡­. Yes¡­ Give it to me!"

    "Please, No more! Please!!"

    One side, a female voice of enjoying her sexual release is heard, and at the same time, male voices of begging to stop can be heard.

    "YES!"

    A shriek of male sharp voice could be heard before it goes silent.

    As the female stands without strands of thread on her body, she sexily walked towards Luo Zhen, and slowly dress.

    "Brother, this few little boys barely fill my appetite. I guess we should look for, even more, perhaps we can try those from the other kingdom next ?"

    The female, Luo Lan starts talking to her brother.

    As the group finished their business, the continue to proceed deeper within the path of the north, leaving the two female cultivator body that recently been (Used) by the group of 10 male, and four more male Cultivator corpses, that had all their internal Zen essence sucked dry.

    "What are you guys looking at? Still not satisfied? Why not come contribute to me a little, I can be lenient and suck just a little from you guys."

    Luo Lan speaks with the 5 male that recently joined their group while walking along with her way only dressed in a thin almost see through silk clothes.

    "Don¡¯t mess with the brother-sister pair, else you will be sucked to dry by their Qian Kun Absorption Lust Cultivation."

    The leader of that five male cultivator speaks, and had them followed along their way.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Chapter 114 - Catching Up with the Great Kingdoms Team!

    In the first few days, the Team quickly advance deeper without bothering about the resources scattered in front of their sights. Although the temptation of obtaining the Spiritual and Master Grade Ingredient and resources would allow their wealth to gain significantly, but the time wasted for the collection would be a trouble.

    Along with their way, the group met with a few strong demonic beast, but after a few running and escaping, the team managed to escape without big fight among beast and humans. Like the previous reason, the worthiness of engaging in such battle does not benefit any parts.

    One need to understand, In one ecosystem, an equal exchange is always in the account. Each decision will make your future path deviated slightly, depending on how extreme is your decision.

    The more beast you kill off, the harder you could advance due to exhaustion.

    The more Ingredient you harvest, the higher risk you will face when confronted by opposing cultivators.

    The deeper you venture, the bigger your return, but the higher risk when leaving as well.

    The least you advance, the safer you will be, but in exchange, it doesn¡¯t worth the time you spent within the realm.

    The weaker you remain, the least your chances are to advance to a higher cultivation.

    The choices and decision are always around for each being to select as they move, no matter what is their cultivation level is.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Brother Altima, We need help in this area!"

    Gu Pang and Wen Qing is struggling in handling a gigantic demonic beast limbs.

    "Lock the Cage shackles on the ground and move deeper to its center! It is impossible to kill this demonic beast, so let''s grab as much as we could from its body before we are exhausted!"

    Altima passed the message to the Duo before he manages to restrict the Head part of the beast onto the ground.

    (Third Surging Wave Covers the Skies!)

    Altima swept his spear as heavy as he could, and manage to remove a large number of beautiful Shining carapace covering the Beast''s neck area.

    "Do not use any Yin or Yang base attack, as that would destroy the usefulness of the Kun (Earthly) Essence crystal carapace."

    Altima reminds the members again and again.

    "Understood!"

    The group answered, two more hours later, the group finally retreated from continue to attack the Gigantic Demonic Beast that manages to cover an acre of land by its body mass. Tired but bountiful, the group quickly harvest all available perfect material before they retreated to a hundred steps away from their fighting point, in order to escape any unwanted pursuits.

    "Brother Altima, this harvest is not bad, I would never imagine we would ever meet with the mild tempered Kun Element Beast here."

    Wu Chung commented. In another side of the forest, a group of shadow quickly entered Altima''s realm in secret as they return from their task.

    Altima battle on one side, while allowing the Ancient Elves to harvest the materials in another.

    With his Full Scan, Altima could deduce a large 20 meters wide radius of treasures and ingredients or secret, allowing all his "Citizens" to received the pinpoint location to move in exactly.

    Each time he proceeds, Altima''s Ancient Elves team will be dispatched in a team of 100 to 200 elves, and proceed with the harvest as required. With each of them is around Middle to Peak Master Practitioner of Zen Stage, the group of elves manages to complete their task, without any problem in between of the process.

    Back to the beast the group just engaged in a battle with.

    Kun (Earthly) Essence Diamond Shell King Beast

    Characteristics: Mild Tempered, and hardly engaging with its opponent in battle, the Kun Diamond Shell King Beast usually timid and always tries to run when it receive heavy engagement from other beast or cultivator. This beast has an extreme appetite, and often being called as the Ground Devourer because of its capability of destroying the forest as its meal, totally uprooting the whole location with a few mouthful.

    Threat Level: 7th Stage of King of Zen Tier

    Produce: Kun Diamond Carapace (refining ingredient for the Small Kun Essence Soul Pellet) Kun Diamond Substance (for Medium Kun Essence Soul Pellet) Kun Blood Droplet (For Large Kun Essence Soul Pellet)

    "Qing Yi, how much material we are able to retrieve in this fight ?"

    Altima makes some slight harvest count.

    "We manage to scrape a total of 10,000 pieces of completely intact Kun Diamond Carapace from the King Beast, as well about 1,000 Kun Diamond Substance. Too bad there is no Kun Blood Droplet from this first encounter."

    Qing Yi quickly delivers her report.

    "It''s fine. Unless one or two of us are at King Stage, if not, how would we have chances to grab that particular ingredient ?"

    "Let us continue venturing deeper, perhaps we could found a few more demonic beast that drops different Essence produce."

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Escape! Quickly escape this hell hole!"

    This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

    A group of the cultivator is seen escaping from the opened volcanic cavern.

    As they about to reach the exit, two more Demonic Beast appeared from the both left and right side outside the exit.

    Without even bothering about their survivability, the group of cultivators pushed the people from the front to their death.

    The people that were managed to escape from the Demonic Beast deadly claw, hastily escape the cavern entrance area and rushed towards the outer forest. But without luck by their side, the end up died before they could do so.

    Few more Demonic Beast appeared from the ground, pulling the corpses into the underground as they feast on the dead bodies. A few certain trees that were seen growing beautifully along the outer forest, started to shake as the Root on the bottom moves.

    Beneath the tree, a special kind of Demonic Tree Beast is moving along the ground, and revealed their true nature.

    One of the Danger within the forest before Mirage Mountain Peak.

    Mountain (Gen) Elder Demonic Tree Beast

    Characteristics: Hideous to look at, the Gen Elemental Elder Demonic Tree Beast is actually a tree beast with a tree grown on the backbone of this beast. Do not be misguided by the gigantic fruits that was bore by this tree because it is actually the mouth of the beast in disguise. The Tree Beast often trick its food to get close to its fruit, before the lips around the stem turned and swallow the limbs or the head of the target that tried to eat it.

    Threat Level: 1st Stage Soul of Zen Tier

    Produce: Gen Juicy Roots (refining ingredient for the Small Gen Essence Soul Pellet) Gen Trapper Sprouts (for Medium Gen Essence Soul Pellet) Elder Tree Beast Soul (For Large Gen Essence Soul Pellet)

    And the Resident that resides outside of the Mirage Mountain Peak.

    Mountain (Gen) Martyr Elder Wolf Beast

    Characteristics: Strong Claw and Jaw, the fast, ruthless and hunting in a pack all the times, the Martyr Elder Wolf Beast is the most common threat for those who would like to venture deep into the Mirage Mountain Peak.

    The Martyr Elder Wolf Beast reproduce greatly, thus many practitioners decided to escape from this kind of beast often, as they hardly drop quality material for one to consider hunting them down. It is a hassle as well to hunt a pack of wild beast knowing your return is hardly worth the time and effort wasted.

    Threat Level: 1st Stage Soul of Zen Tier

    Produce: Martyr Thick Veins (Refining ingredient for Small Gen Essence Soul Pellet) Martyr Wolf Jade (For Medium Gen Essence Soul Pellet)

    "Senior Brother, are we still continuing to proceed according to this path ?"

    One younger cultivator is asking the leader of this group, after witnessing what happened to the earlier group that advance before they did.

    "Of course!"

    "From our Inner Pavilion Senior, Brother Chu, the best purity produce to forge a Zen Treasure could be easily obtained within this Mirage Mountain Peak Cavern''s Inner Crystal Vein."

    "And also, even if the Flame Conqueror Capital failed to advance into this cavern, does this means we from the Armament Pavilion will fail as well ?"

    "Continue Forward, under my command!"

    The Leader, Chang Ming, answer the junior disciple''s question with a firm tone and speak in a haughty manner as if he have no worries regarding the view he just had seen.

    The Junior disciple wished to advise his senior brother to reconsider his option, but before he could continue, the Senior Brother already withdraw his Zen Treasure to be readied on his body before he continues forward.

    Seeing the view in front of him, the Junior Disciple erase his previous thought, and rally the others to prepare and march forward.

    "With Senior Brother''s treasure, we will success for sure!"

    The junior disciple speaks in his mind, after looking again and again on his Senior brother''s seven pieces of Early Zen treasure on his body.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Brother Wen Wu."

    "Are you sure that sister Wen Qing will come over to this direction ?"

    A younger cultivator, about 15 to 16 is asking Shi-Wen Wu regarding his estimation.

    "I''m sure of it. Wen Qing and her close friend both cultivate in Frozen Yin Martial Arts, most probably they are going to push their luck to obtain more Kan (Water) or Zhui (Lake) essence which is abundant within this Southern direction."

    "And by that time, we will act accordingly to allow you to manage to place some aphrodisiac into their body, and then, soon they will be forced to accept your approach."

    Shi-Wen Wu happily remind the younger cultivator, which is his younger brother, Shi-Wen Yuan, regarding on their petty tricks.

    "Thank you, big brother, Xiao Yuan will remember big brother''s help in this matter."

    Wen Yuan happily thanked Wen Wu on his "Assistance".

    "But remember, make sure you leave Qing Yi to me, I am too, hungry for a fresh lady as beautiful as her."

    Wen Wu added before they both continue deeper. But what they don''t realize is, there wouldn¡¯t be any chances for them to meet unless North West and South managed to change their direction.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Brother Altima, what do we do now ?"

    Fang Mu and Wen Qing is tired in their fight.

    This is their 8th day within the Autumn Hunt Cosmo Realm.

    Within this 8 day, the group continues deeper into the North West, and without stumbling with any other cultivators from the Flame Forest Continent, the group ascends deeper and deeper without any reservations.

    In their first 7 days, their haul on the gathered materials is admirable, even if it''s taken to be compared with the Great Kingdom Cultivators.

    After concoction and refining, Altima and the others manage to Cleanly absorb a large amount of Kun Essence, Gen Essence, Kan Essence and Li Essence. Due to their location located in the middle of two major direction, abundant mixtures of few different essence is available, as long one willing to safely but carefully looking for it.

    Especially for the Kan Essence. Water Essence is hardly obtainable due to the harsh dangerous condition is located within the West, but assisted by Altima''s proficiency in concocting medicine, the group successfully refine a large amount of Kan Essence with the help of Wu Chung''s Fiery Yang Strength, as well as Qing Yi and Wen Qing''s Frozen Yin Strength.

    With two elements working well with each other, pure and dense Kan Essence is successfully extracted from the Poisonous Marsh that¡¯s located along the Border of West. In the same time, Altima, Gu Pang, and Fang Mu had themselves worn out after fighting with an unbelievable amount of Gen Essence Poison Lizard and harvest a large amount of the Lizards Impure Blood, Pure Blood and Lizard Soul to refine different Gen Essence Soul Pellet.

    But on this 8th day, things doesn¡¯t goes too well for the group.

    Because they are ambushed by a group of Volcanic (Li) Bullet-Head Beetle.

    Although the Volcanic Bullet-Head Beetle is not too strong, but facing a school of 2,000 to 3,000 Early Spiritual of Zen Tier Insect, one will still face large difficulties to completely overcome this threat.

    Once after a while, the group will be stricken by a rain of Fiery Bullet that strikes from afar, after the Volcanic Bullet-Head Beetle manage to ate enough volcanic ash to charge their Bullet Holster, that¡¯s located on the tip of their abdomen.

    Although the group could utilize the assistance from Water Dragon Cannon to resist the threat, but with the exchange of One Cannon to deflect around 5 to 7 Bullets, Altima''s Cannon quickly started to run out without even passing around 2 hours of fighting.

    "Brother Mobi, please run a scan so we could have a retreat path. Assist me in checking their current total amount, and their nest condition as well."

    "No worries bro, you will be all right."

    Altima whispered to Mobi but instead received a confident reply from Mobi instead.

    "What''s Wrong ?"

    "Silly, their amount is reducing by a whole lot, soon they will be totally dead. There is only about 1,000 of them left within this nest."

    Altima question Mobi''s replied, but after he receives a word from Mobi, he immediately feels delighted with their performance.

    "Guys! Let us fight until the end! Their numbers are starting to reduce! We will be able to completely exterminate all of them soon!"

    With a word from Altima, the others quickly felt agitated, and fight even better, as if they aren''t exhausted in the first place.

    Thirty minutes later, the group finally succeed in disposing of all the available Volcanic Bullet-Head Beetle.

    But in exchange, they exhausted their Water Dragon Cannon supplies, and it would be required to be replenished later.

    Exploring the nest, the group manage to found a large Egg Hatching area, where the group quickly harvest all their great haul before tried to exit the nest.

    But before they did, Altima had all of them stopped for an attention.

    "Guys! Look at this item that¡¯s buried deep within this Beetle Eggshell Dump."

    Altima withdraws a special kind of item out from the sticky area and shows it to the others within the group.

 Chapter 115 - Gu Pang is entering Soul Stage!

    "Guys! Take a look at this treasure!"

    Altima holds the item he unearth from the dump, and jump up to the group current spot.

    "Wow! Brother Altima, this thing look so weird! Is that a Zen Tier Treasure ?"

    Without hesitation, Altima injects some Zen Essence into the treasure but failed to open the treasure and reveal the item within. He tried with a different way, through using Yin and Yang Essence, but still failed nevertheless.

    "How weird is this treasure, to be unopened after being injected by so many different essences. Perhaps one among you guys could get it exposed into the world ?"

    Altima put it on the Stone Slab where the leader of the Volcanic Bullet-Head Beetle used to rest, and allow the others to have a try to unrevealed the treasure within the weird casing.

    Qing Yi and Shi-Wen Qing go ahead and tried first, but failed. The treasure doesn¡¯t even absorb any of their Kan and Zhui remnant essence at all.

    Fang Mu tried with his Xun remnant essence, and Wu Chung tried with his Li remnant essence as well but failed without causing any reaction at all.

    But as the turn reach Gu Pang, the case moved for a split second, causing a shock to the six of them within the nest.

    "Brother Gu, quickly go for it!"

    Fang Mu, being the most impatient among all, hurried Gu Pang to inject his Zhen remnant essence into the casing.

    Perhaps it was due to luck, or perhaps it was due to the Thunder Realm possessed by the Ferocious General''s Troops, Gu Pang''s Zhen essence is much stronger and denser compare to the others that focusing on different cultivation base.

    Placing both of his palm on the side of the casing, Gu Pang slowly inject a portion of Zhen (Thunder) remnant essence into the treasure to release the treasure kept within the casing, but as the treasure absorb the Zhen essence from him, the suction effect started to significantly grow stronger, and causing Gu Pang to have some after effect due to the lack of Zhen Essence symptom.

    "Shit! Brother Gu is lacking Zhen energy to continue this! Quickly, open the Thunder Realm and refine the essence for Brother Gu to continue!"

    Altima is nervous.

    "Brother Altima, Thunder Realm is ready to enter, what should we do now ?"

    Qing Yi and Wen Qing is clueless for a moment.

    "I will enter the Realm to Refine an amount of Thunder Tempering Pellet, and some Pure Thunderstone Bead."

    Altima calms his team member from their worries and entered the Realm in haste.

    "Brother Mobi, I need your assistance this time."

    "No worries, I will use the (CREATION) ability to refine a large amount of Pure Thunderstone Bead for you, you process the Thunder Tempering Pellet first."

    "Great, Thanks, brother, let us start now."

    The brother quickly starts their refining, and to thanks to their quick reaction, one by one batch of 10 Thunder Tempering Pellets and 10 Thunderstone Bead is refined each 10 minutes, allowing Gu Pang to steadily Temper his body while being challenged by the absorption effect caused by the mysterious Treasure Case.

    But perhaps, this is a lucky encounter for Gu Pang.

    Without this Case making its appearance, perhaps Altima will have no specific reason to quickly concoct the Thunderstone Bead and Thunder Tempering Pellet for Gu Pang to refine and temper his body.Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.

    And because of this Case, Gu Pang is forced to refine more Thunderstone Bead into his body to channel more stronger Zhen Essence, to recharge his body again and again to resist the symptom of depleting one internal Essence Storage, and in the same time, Gu Pang is forced to further temper his body as well, to accept the ferocious amount of thunder essence invading his body as he refine the pellet.

    With the circle of nature among this (Refine - Temper - Absorb) chain, Gu Pang body encountered drastic changes.

    His body quickly get adapted to the Raging Thunder that circling within his body without stopping, and soon, a Thunder Soul Body is created within his Body, and after an exchange, a stronger, taller and bulkier version of Gu Pang appeared within the Soul Body portal.

    A thundercloud appeared from the sky opening at the top of the nest, and without any notice, One strike of lightning zap into the middle of the nest!

    A fiery spark happened within the eyes of the five of them!

    Acting like fireworks of celebration, Gu Pang is seen standing on top of the Stone Slab, holding the treasure that hidden within the Treasure Box.

    "Thanks, brothers and sisters!, I succeed in advancing into the Soul Stage of Zen Tier as well!"

    Gu Pang bows towards all of his brothers and sisters beside him, and lastly towards Altima, that just came out from the Thunder Realm.

    "So, what is this treasure that causes all of us to get "Busy" for you ?"

    Wu Chung, being the cheekier one, tease Gu Pang as he checks on the treasure within Gu Pang''s hand.

    Precious Thunder-Soul Heart - Early Zen Tier Treasure

    Description: The Thunder-Soul Heart. One of the most difficult to obtain kind of Zen Treasure. The person who managed to obtain this treasure will be carrying this for his life and only can be detached from him to another once he met his death.

    The Thunder-Soul Heart is capable of blessing the owner with one additional Life, and a double strength in his cultivation. With great power, comes great threat, Low profile is a must. Unless one is confident to thread this sky above the Thunder-Soul Heart, as the mightiest among all.

    (This Heart is capable of Storing Double Amount of Zhen Essence / Converting the Zhen Essence into two times stronger than originally refined essence, as well as blessing the Owner with the "Lightning-Fusion Body", which enable the owner to move as quick as lightning as he threads his way.)

    Special Note: All Zen Tier Treasure could be upgraded.(Early - Low - Middle - High - Peak - Earth - Heaven - Mortal - Immortal)

    "Wow! It''s actually an Early Zen Tier Treasure."

    Wu Chung shouted for a while.

    "Brother Altima, this treasure is found by you, so I should return.."

    Gu Pang wishes to finish his word but was interrupted before he managed to finish the full sentence.

    "Since the Treasure chooses to open itself to you, it means this treasure belong to you."

    Altima continued.

    "Brother Altima.."

    Gu Pang about gives up the ownership of the Thunder-Soul Heart, but after listened to Altima words, he holds even tighter on the Heart that remains within his palm.

    "Refine that, Brother Gu, then you will be able to utilize most of its effect. Nobody among us is capable of using the heart anyway."

    Wu Chung continued.

    Without anymore pushing here and there, The five of them spend some time to explore and harvest all available remnant essence within the nest, while allowing Gu Pang to nicely refine the heart.

    After spending about three more days within the nest, Gu Pang finally completely refine the Heart and obtain the ability of Lightning-Fusion Body, which allows him to move double to triple the speed compared to Altima in his fastest speed.

    In their next 5 days, due to the increase of strength among the group, Their harvest and material hunting become even easier. With two Soul Stage Cultivator helping in the Soul Pellet refining, their significant boost in strength very quickly become visible.

    Soon but not too close, Qing Yi should be the next to thread into Soul Stage, and followed by Wu Chung and Wen Qing. With Fang Mu almost reaching the Peak of Spiritual Stage Cultivator, the Team most probably will need another week, to make sure all of them reach their Soul Stage before they plan for anything else.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    What is this fragrant smell of medicine ?"

    Few male cultivator followed a trail of medicinal smells and thread deeper into the Eastern Path.

    They slowly entered the Explosive Seedling Path, and move as calm as they could while following the fragrant smell, believing that there will be an amazing thing at the end of where the smell came from.

    As the few cultivator successfully exit the Explosive Seedling Path, they were greeted by a gigantic flower that¡¯s hidden deep within the Cave.

    "Oh, Shit! That¡¯s the Zhui Mirage Demoness Lotus!"

    The few male cultivator quickly escape without any intention to fight. But before the finish their turn, their eyesight suddenly saw a few mind breaking images.

    By the side of the cavern, a mix of around 10 Male cultivators and 3 Female cultivators is seen becoming the living fertilizer for the newly grown Demoness Lotus Roots. Naked and roots could be seen growing from all over their body, it is a view that seems so horrible to be imagined.

    "I Don¡¯t want to be a fertilizer like them too!"

    One cultivator screamed, and escape without looking back. But before he manages to make his next step, his whole body already lost their sense and control.

    Fall down, and paralyzed, the cultivator quickly get wrapped by the roots, before a thicker root is shoved into his throat, and soon, a few new sprouts began to grow within his body, and protrude out from his flesh.

    As he still has some feeling of pain and nervous, the veins that manage to grow by using his blood and flesh, manage to quickly break his sanity and confidence, before he manages to kill himself.

    At the end, a total of 5 more cultivators is all alive, but better be dead instead. They were seeded and used as the replacement of the soil.

    Standing on top of the unreachable location within the cave, a few pair of eyes Is staring at the spot where the five cultivators are seeded by the Mirage Demoness Lotus.

    "First Brother Firion, what do you think ?"

    "Let us wait for a while longer. Unless the Mirage Demoness Lotus could reach King Grade, it would be worthless to (Harvest) this beast."

    "Second Brother Urin ?"

    "let''s go. There will be more thing for us to do."

    The one named Urin lead the 8 more quiet cultivators, and leave the spot undetected.

    "I wonder how many of us still remain after this Autumn Hunt ?"

    Youngest Brother Ourin."

    Yes, First brother!"

    "Shut Up."

    "Yes, First Brother."

    "Always remember, we all are from the Divinity Alchemist do not talk nonsense like just now. Don¡¯t cause us to lose face because of your ridiculous attitude."

    "I understand."

    "Take care of the Mirage Demoness Lotus, make sure you remember to throw more Beast Rampaging Pellet each time the Lotus is trying to hibernate."

    (Before reaching Soul Stage, The released Eight Major Element Essence is called Remnant Essence, due to their impurities.)

 Chapter 116 - Unfortunate Encounter with the Flame Conqueror Capital!

    As the Meng Jiang Jun explore deeper into the North West Direction, the group manage to appreciate their luck to encounter a total of two specific events.

    The first one is where the group managed to found the nest of a very rare species of Demonic Beast within the Autumn Hunt, as well it''s been reminded again and again by elder Ling Hu that they must make sure this is a lucky encounter before they proceed.

    Volcanic Magma Newborn - Exiled Infant from Heavenly Magma Beast

    Description: The Infant of the Heavenly Magma Beast, instead of being birth through parenthood, The Volcanic Magma Newborn usually is created through the erupting volcanic peak, with a 10% chances of survival and successfully birth. The Magma Newborn is very attached to the first thing it ever seen in its life, and will treat that thing with care and grow together with it until the Volcanic Newborn is dead.

    Threat Level: 1st Stage Emperor Practitioner of Zen Tier (No threat at all if still wrapped beautifully within the Volcanic Lava Sack)

    The Meng Jian Jun explore thoroughly on the surrounding of the Volcanic Magma Newborn, and once they finally consider there is no threat at all, they proceed to keep the Newborn into their spatial ring, and to everyone''s agreement, Wu Chung will be the one to take care of this Magma Beast and allow it to grow, because he is the only one around with the strongest Li Essence.

    Of course, Wu Chung happily accepted the risky job.

    And in their second lucky encounter, the group actually manage to stumble across a unowned Flame Realm Spatial Stone, after they manage to totally clean a few Volcanic Remnants Pool. Because the capacity of Impure Li Essence within the pool is too dense, so the group is forced to stay over for another 3 more days, completing their first week within the Autumn Hunt, while painstakingly refining the assorted Li Essence Soul Pellet for Wu Chung to refine.

    As they refine the Impure Li Essence for their third day, the empty pool revealed the piece of protruding stone and as it being picked by Wu Chung, he coincidently allows the spatial realm to be activated, thus allowing the Flame Realm Spatial Stone to be activated.

    Flame Realm - Low-Grade Cultivation Spatial Realm

    Capacity: 1,000 Metres.

    Growth: Possible (100 Metre growth with each 1,000 Condensed Yin Pill, 1,000 Condensed Yang Pill)

    Essence Undulation: 70% Pure Yin Essence / 70% Pure Yang Essence/60% Pure Zen Essence / 100% Flame Essence.

    Production: Flame Tempering Pellet, Flame Essence Crystal, Pure Flame Bead.

    Unfortunately, the amount of refined Li Essence Soul Pellet is nowhere enough for the group to push Wu Chung cultivation to Soul Stage, so they have to continue looking for more Li Essence as they move.

    With this, the group finally marked their first week within the Autumn Hunt.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Tenth Division Captain Huo."

    One cultivator kneels on one knee, as he greets the person so called as Tenth Division Captain.

    "How is your team''s monitoring ?"

    "Their report states that the group possesses nothing except the Flame Realm Spatial Stone they recently obtained. They refined all the Soul Pellet as they proceed, so their Spatial Ring is literally empty, with only a few concoction ingredient within."

    "But one thing is weird about one of their cultivator."

    "What''s weird about him ?"

    "He seems to have a few living beings within his Spatial Ring, perhaps it is the Demonic Beast that followed along the cultivator when it was captured during their time here."

    "And what''s weird about this ?"

    "It is because the Living Being within seems to be very active, the nearby ingredients and fruits that rich in Yin and Yang Essence is all plucked and harvested to be kept within the spatial ring."

    "Our initial report deduce that this cultivator maybe is a Culinary Master as well."

    "Ha Ha Ha! Culinary Master? Do you think he could be good enough to prepare the (Heaven and Earth Chowder), or the (Half Step to Heaven Magnificent Wine)?"

    "We are looking forward to exploring this too."

    "Let''s ignore it for now, what I want to make sure is this group is profitable for us to attack for the treasure within their hand."

    The Division Captain and the cultivator exchange their conversation, and soon, both of them split and proceed with their own way, one to left from where Altima and team are located, while another to the right.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In their next day, the group stumbles across a strong and difficult to handle Demonic Beast.

    But perhaps it was thanks to the Demonic Beast''s natural reaction, the beast run, and hide, and slowly return to their own habitat, where they tried to hide from their pursuer.

    But for Altima and team, nothing is better than this result.

    Because after all, they had been busy looking for this Essence prime location for one whole week.

    "Alright, Guys! Make sure we have at least half a week here, let us gather as much Xun Essence Soul Pellet as we could before we leave this location!"

    "I have a felt that we are going to get lucky at this location as well, it''s seem unthreaded. So perhaps there might be one or two treasures hidden within this place."

    "Brother Mobi, are you there ?"

    Altima motivates the other to start their Resources hunting, and take the remaining time to try whisper with Mobi.Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

    "Yeah, what''s wrong ?"

    Mobi Replied.

    "Brother, there is some hidden scouts tried to obtain our performance, location, and treasures in hand."

    "I scanned him once as well, but his scouting ability is up to par with your abilities. He might have some big shots running behind him with some motives to monitor us."

    "We already have three treasures, which includes The Thunder-Soul Heart, the Flame Realm, and the Volcanic Magma Newborn. From our scanner, there will be two more treasure within this place, so if we add it up, they most probably going to take action when they know our results."

    "So, what''s your suggestion ?"

    "Since the main rules are stated, Survival, that¡¯s means, if there is such challenge, of course, we will take it on."

    "I''m itchy to know how strong is my strength. Too bad I only have the chances to absorb a little Soul Pellets compared to the others. But I need to push their strength, because we are too far behind from that stronger one, such as Luo Zhen''s team, Shi-Wen Wu''s team, and Han Ming''s team."

    "Since there is a total of 2,000 cultivators, which means at least 1,000 among them is a higher cultivation than ours. If clashes happened, we might have difficulties in protecting ourselves."

    Altima continued.

    "Since it''s this case, I would rather risk revealing one of my cards, and strengthen the others."

    "I will run the check more frequently, meanwhile, you need to start your own cultivation as well."

    "I know brother, I know."

    Altima and Mobi finish their conversation, and he immediately proceeds to the deeper part to start his part of hunting as well.

    "This Fang Mu, most probably going to be the luckiest kid within this Autumn Hunt this time."

    "Even in his wildest dream, I don¡¯t think he would imagine that he will stumble across such a big Nest in his life."

    Elder Jade Sting Gigantic Demon Bee

    Characteristics: Very mild temper kind of Elder Insect, the Jade Sting Gigantic Demon Bees usually busy traveling around the continent to harvest the best pollen and Nectars from Treasured flowers and Plants, to produce a large amount of Honey for their Queen. This Gigantic Insect welcome any insect or demonic beast to come in for a feast because their production is even more than what they could consume.

    But do not underestimate this Demon Bee due to its mild temper. Each Demon Bee possesses a strength of at least Peak Soul Practitioner of Zen Tier, and their smallest nest usually comes in the size of housing at least 500,000 Demon Bees and above.

    Threat Level: 8th Stage of Soul of Zen Tier

    Produce: Xun Jade Dust (refining ingredient for Small Xun Essence Soul Pellet) Xun Jade Wings crumbs (for Medium Xun Essence Soul Pellet) Xun Treasured Pollens (For Large Xun Essence Soul Pellet)

    Looking at the size of the nest as huge as the mountain, Altima, and the others repeatedly refine the Xun Essence Soul Pellet without any rest. Their production quickly increases more than the amount Fang Mu can refine, causing the group to stop once a while to help Fang Mu to increase his speed in refining a large amount of Xun Essence they managed to refine.

    Even the scout, which is dependent on the Xun Essence, Is slightly attracted to enter and cultivate along, to obtain the best benefit through refining the Xun Essence. But unfortunately for him, because the difference of faction between the group and the scout, he is forced to give up the thinking.

    And in the same time, within Altima''s Mind.

    "This scout is seriously taking his job a little too well."

    "I wouldn¡¯t mind allowing him to join us for the refinement if it is not because of the difference of faction behind our back."

    Altima continued to refine the Xun Essence that was scattered richly all over his surrounding.

    With the assistance of Mobi''s (Creation), Altima production is triple the rates of success compared to the others within the nest. Even for Qing Yi and Wen Qing, both of them started to refine the extra Xun Essence as well, because they have their own path of cultivation, and was planning on creating a total of 4 Xun Essence Soul and 4 Zhui or Kan Essence Soul.

    For Altima as well, he was planning to temper his body as well, when they still have enough time to proceed with this intention. As long as Mobi does not found any heavy movement surrounding the Nest, he will confidently refine the available Xun Essence, and start creating a second soul to improve his cultivation.

    This progress goes along for a total of 8 days, where finally, Shi-Wen Qing, Qing Yi, had successfully advance into the Soul Stage, by tempering through using the Xun Essence first.

    Fang Mu instead, getting closer to the border between the Spiritual and Soul Cultivator and is expected to be advance any moment from now on.

    Altima as well successfully Cultivate and form his second Xun Essence Soul Body, and thoroughly enhancing his body movement, Flow of Essence, Absorption, Application is all more effective than usual.

    But their happiness starting to get rid by the 9th day of their second week.

    From Far away, Mobi''s scanner already noticed the arrival of the sub-team of the Flame Conqueror Capital.

    After all of them is registered within the scanner, Altima had all the team members to get ready for a fight at any moment.

    The scanner quickly revealed a total of 12 Cultivator, and in exchange, the previous scout had already left the perimeter within 20 meters.

    "Brother Altima!"

    Fang Mu question about Altima''s decision regarding this sudden changes of situation.

    "We will engage with them outside of the nest. This nest is a great resource of Xun Essence, so if in future we still have a hope to return, we would love to see this place still around majestically."

    With a word, all six of them marched and exit the nest, just to engaged with the opponent from the Flame Conqueror Capital that¡¯s heading towards their way.

    "Fellow friends from Flame Conqueror Capital."

    "What can the Meng Jiang Jun do for this twelve brothers here ?"

    Altima politely greets them, before he inquiry about their intention to come over. But in return, the person who speak first within the group, reply Altima''s word in a sensitive reply.

    "Spirit Beast Clan? Ha Ha Ha! If you guys have no Demonic Beast, you all will be dead very long ago!"

    "Kid, I heard from our greenie, you guys had refined a large amount of Xun Essence Soul Pellet! if you are smart, hand it over immediately, and we from Flame Conqueror Capital could consider giving you a chance to return alive."

    "People from Flame Conqueror Capital, mind your words!"

    Qing Yi is angered but was held by Wen Qing in the appropriate time.

    "This Brother, we are only small groups of Cultivator that came from the Clan, nothing much to be mentioned about. If this brother is interested in using the nest for cultivation, we wouldn¡¯t mind leaving now."

    Altima still maintains his calm demeanor, and allow the twelve to walk deeper.

    "Oh yeah, come in along with us. You guys should be pretty Skilled too, so come in and help in refining, then we will consider leaving you a complete body when we had you all killed."

    The most talkative one accidently speak a forbidden word and cause the Meng Jiang Jun to be furious their outrageous demand.

    "Get your brain straight! What are you to request for such ridiculous demand?"

    Shi-Wen Qing exploded.

    "Yeah! If you say leave this place, we would still comply, but this is too demanding! We rather fight to the death and kill at least a few of you before you manage to kill us."

    Gu Pang added.

    "What do we have to talk at this point ?"

    Altima continued.

    "Since you guys aren''t here for any friendly reasons, there is nothing to continue except start fighting."

    "Meng Jiang Jun! take two to death before your turn!"

    "Understood!"

    "Fight!"

    "Argh!!"

    Both sides started to push their full potential in fights, but for the Meng Jiang Jun''s side, they are taking a defensive position instead.

    "Ha Ha Ha! Cowards! Fight but you guys are retreating from us slowly, are you only look tough on the outside, and actually shaking on the inside ?"

    Anyway, charge and kill all of them!"

    Six cultivators from the Flame Conqueror Capital charged without being cautious of any traps and tricks, and another six of them is preparing for the second blow once their vanguard group connected their hits.

    "That¡¯s why we say, acting is a must in this cultivation world."

    Altima speaks, and the group reveal a metal ball within their hand and toss it directly towards the incoming six cultivators.

    "Explode! Triple Dragon Cannon!"

    Without any precaution, the cultivators from Flame Conqueror Capital have never ever imagined this kind of battle trick will happen before their eyes.

    Six Cannon that lit with the Essence is thrown with strong 8 Soul Essence injected within, explode within their sight, and directly robbing their life away, without any capability to resist.

    In the same time, the six cultivators that are still preparing behind is too affected by the explosive strength and had been thrown away at least twenty steps from their initial spot.

    Of course, this means even Altima and his group is thrown away around 5 steps from the explosive point.

    Triple Dragon Cannon - Early Graded Battle Concoction

    Ingredient: (20) Pure Arsalite Ingots / (20) Any Essence Soul Pellets / (500) Energy Yin Pill / (500) Energy Yang Pill / (1) Stage 1 Beast Core / (1) Supreme Ultimate Pellet

    Success Rate: Only Craft-able by Altima El-Mist (Custom)

    Optional: Higher understanding and Concoction will result in different varieties of Water Dragon Cannon produced.

    This newly made Battle Concoction is recently refined and upgraded from Mobi''s (Creation) ability. After spending a total of two weeks to specifically upgrade this Concoction Recipe, Altima finally had this Concoction upgraded, and make it suit to his specification.

    Through Applying the Supreme Ultimate Pellet into the concoction, Altima manages to produce a triple strength Cannon, which he named it as the Triple Dragon Cannon. From this upgrade, Altima could easily activate one to three different formation in one Cannon and directly overpowered his opponent from start.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "What the hell is that secret weapon ?"

    The leader of the cultivators from Flame Conqueror Capital shocked and shouted before he tried to look around on the remaining cultivators by his side.

    "Team leader, let us escape from this place, the six of them is already dead."

    This bad mouth cultivator shakes as he speaks, and stare on the location where the explosion recently happened.

    A line of craters made by the explosive strength from the Triple Dragon Cannon is visibly seen, and few incomplete corpses are seen lying motionlessly by each crater.

    "Is everyone alright ?"

    Altima tried confirming his team member''s condition.

    "We are all good."

    Wu Chung replied, as the others appearing behind him.

    "Good! Let us take on them, and dispose them before more coming."

    Without giving any mercy, Altima and the five of them charge towards the Flame Conqueror Capital''s Cultivator, and behead them before salvaging all available treasures and materials, and return into the Demon Bees Nest once again.

 Chapter 117 - Massacre Within Autumn Hunt! Appearance of an Adult Monarch Beast!

    "Harvest the Mirage Demoness Lotus Now."

    The First Brother, Firion passes his order to the three subordinates behind him.

    In a flash, the three cultivators, with the strength comparable to a Middle King Practitioner of Zen Tier, charge towards the Mirage Demoness Lotus and slowly injure the moving Lotus thick Roots.

    With each stab from their sword, an opened wound would have appeared on the Mirage Demoness Lotus body, but the weird thing is, there aren''t any liquid, blood or substance is flowing from the wound.

    "Shrr¡­.."

    The Mirage Demoness Lotus sway and move even aggressive, controlling all of its vines to swarm and encircle around its main body.

    The three cultivator swing their sword, and with a simple swing, the vines that trying to cover the main body is all chopped, and revealing the Lotus''s ugly appearance.

    Extract Absorption Sword - Alchemist Specialized Tools for Zen Tier Ingredients

    Description: Crafted from the Mixture of special kind of Demonic Beast Substance and a specially refined Alunite Metals, the Extract Absorption Sword could be used as a method to obtain precious extract and ingredient (Liquid Base) efficiently. Each Sword has the sharpness of the Alunite Metal, allowing it to pierce or cut open any ingredient without hassle.

    "First Brother Firion, the Lotus Crystal Essence Seed within is revealed!"

    One of the cultivators shouted, and immediately, Firion rushed to the side of the Mirage Demoness Lotus, and pierce through the Mirage Demoness Lotus Body and grabbed the Lotus Crystal Essence Seed away.

    Without the Essence Seed, the Mirage Demoness Lotus quickly wither, and soon, become a large piece of Dried Lotus Skin (a kind of Chinese snacks) that¡¯s fell on the ground motionless.

    Leave only one Lotus alive, and kill the others and grab their Immature Essence Seed as well.

    The First Brother Firion finished his word and allowing all the other cultivator to start their killing within the cavern.

    As the killing near its ending, the final target, is also a Female cultivator, is in a comatose condition due to her brain is started to be infested with the growing lotus vines.

    The Cultivator body is beautifully shown towards the trio, making their sexual drive to rise up without control.

    As they intend to make their move, a word came from above.

    "The Demoness Lotus is a highly fatal parasitic Root beings. If you want to be an indirect carrier, go ahead and have sex with that fertilizer."

    The trio immediately wakes from their lust and leave the cave with the remaining Essence Seed within their hand.

    "What do First Brother Firion wish to make with the Essence Seed ?"

    "I heard that First brother managed to obtain a very special Alchemic Treasure Recipe that needs Essence Seed to be refined within."

    "Yeah, I heard that the Alchemic Treasure will be in high Tier treasure from the moment it is complete."

    "Gruuungg¡­"

    "Kraccc¡­"

    "ROARRR!!!"

    "A loud beast howl immediately heard from far away, even within the cavern."

    "What is that demonic beast? To cause such a ripple within the atmosphere."

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Brother Mobi, did you heard that voice ?"

    "Yes, I''m running some full scan now, but that beast is nowhere close to us. But from the data entry, seems like the Demonic Beast howl originated from the North."

    "Do you think we will be affected ?"

    "Hardly, there will be still a large gap between the North and Northwest. It shouldn¡¯t affect us too much, but when the time comes up, I''m afraid we will be risking our life to return."

    "ROAR!!!"

    "Brother, look at the skies."

    Altima pointed on the skies towards the north, a ripple happened each time the beast Howl, forming waves of essence disruption on the North.

    "Brother, I think this Autumn Hunt is going to be disrupted for sure."

    "Guys! Let us proceed deeper in this direction, there might be some changes in plan soon."

    "Understood!"

    Altima directs the other team member to venture deeper into the Northwest direction, and as they move, a few more howling from the beast is heard, before it finally fades away.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Run!"

    A large group of the cultivator, numbered around 300 of them is frantically escaping from the Mountain path. But failed to do so, due to the huge body size of the Demonic Beast that was stomping on the ground.

    Each stamp from the beast cause a small scale earthquake, and with each step, the Demonic Beast took, at least ten of the cultivator end up dead under its powerful feet.

    "What luck is this! We aren''t promised for this before we participate and team up with the Berserker Titan Ancient Kingdom."

    "Quickly Run!"

    The group of cultivators escapes without looking back, but each time they heard a stomping sound, the following bone cracking sound is heard.

    "Mother! Save me!!"

    "No! Please, I''m Sorry!!"

    At the end, 300 cultivators from the mixture of the Cold Flame Kingdom, Blazing Brigades, and the Desert Crystal Sand Kingdom, is all eradicated from the Autumn Hunt.

    And the main cause of this massacre is because they had entered the nest of this Titanic Demonic Beast.

    Ancient Titan (Xuan Blood) Fortress Monarch Boar - Adult Stage Monarch Beast

    Description: Used to be the ride for the immortals, The Ancient Titan Fortress Monarch Boar, is carrying a Fortress-Like building behind its back, which is capable of allowing humans to stay within comfortably. As the Monarch Boar grows, the Fortress behind its back will grow along as well, capable of increasing its size from time to time. An Infant Monarch Boar usually holds a small Village size fortress behind its back, and slowly upgrades to Town size, City Size, and to a Kingdom Size.

    This Ancient Titan Fortress Monarch Boar is one of the Eight Mightiest Demonic Beast within the Autumn Cosmo Realm. (City Size Monarch Beast)

    Threat Level: Peak King Stage of Kun Tier

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With a sudden turn of event, the Autumn Hunt is beginning to turn from a calm environment, into something even worst.

    Practitioners from the four Ancient Kingdom started to make their move, and depart from their initial location, and goes deeper within the North, South, East, and West.

    Meanwhile, for Altima and his group, they finally reach a one-fifth depth of the continent.

    Wishing to proceed is their wish, but it couldn¡¯t be fulfilled for now, because of the difference in strength.

    After they make a few round trips toward their left and right, Altima could deduce in one word. Their current location is most probably at the center of the continent.

    As they venture to the outer part, there might be a huge obstacle to prevent them, unless they managed to reach a certain cultivation level.

    If his deduction is correct, when he reach Kun Tier cultivation, perhaps getting through this 1,500 meters height cliff will be easier compared to now, where their maximum height achievement is only 10 meters from the ground.

    A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

    Without sufficient cultivation, one could not proceed farther than now.

    But stopping at this location wouldn¡¯t be too bad either. At least this gave Altima and team a message to know where they should be heading next.

    Which is why, Altima and the others decided to open a camp within this location, and remain within this spot for another one full week before they risk and proceed to return to their initial entrance spot.

    Why this spot? Somebody would ask. But nobody would be clearer than Altima, because of his Full Scan cheat abilities.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Brother Altima, What luck do we need to have to manage to get this spot ?"

    "Stop speaking nonsense, let us quickly refine as much as possible in this location first."

    "Fang Mu, Gu Pang, concentrate!"

    "Sorry! We will be hardworking and make things goes well for you two!"

    Four of them, Wen Qing, Gu Pang, Qing Yi and Fang Mu.

    Painstakingly refining the available within the spot, while Altima walked around to harvest more different materials, and Wu Chung is standing on guard.

    Underground Purified Lake (Zhui) of Tri Essence (Earth Kun, Mountain Gen, Water Kan)

    The group is blessed with enormous luck, to be able to found such a spot for themselves to refine a large amount of Three difference essence within this underground lake.

    This happened during the moment where the Monarch Beast is rampaging around the North direction. The quakes and tremors happened to crack the piece of mountain opening, allowing a large amount of Essence to flow from where Altima and team are busy cracking their heads to look for a way to climb the cliffs.

    With this spot is well utilize, Altima and team decided to spend their remaining time at this location, and try to obtain the best benefit within this Underground Purified Lake.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Ancient Titan Fortress Monarch Boar is yet to calm his temper down.

    The Monarch Beast rampaging from the direction of North, and quickly headed towards the south while tramping along all the cultivators the beast met. Up to date, at least 700 cultivators already been dead under this rampaging beast, but unfortunately, no help is coming over from the outside world, as they have no way to communicate with them.

    While in the same time, a group of Cultivators whom following closely behind the Monarch Beast and looting all the treasures that kept on the dead corpses.

    "Dead man need no treasures! Ha Ha Ha!"

    "Brother Tian is so creative, with this way, who need to slowly hunt for the treasures and refine the pellets ?"

    "U guys, be a little respectful."

    "Yes, brother Tian."

    The Brother Tian this group of cultivators is feared off, speak about being respectful while he is the one that seems sickest among all the cultivators.

    Because this Brother Tian, is sexually raping a dead female cultivator''s body, and change one after another.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Just like this, 3 weeks has passed.

    The Meng Jiang Jun is preparing to make their last push and will be getting ready to leave the location at the final 8 days.

    Currently, there are another 11 days to go, which means they will remain in this location for three more days, and then they will depart and heads toward the entrance portal.

    In this period of time, the whole Meng Jiang Jun''s team members successfully advance into their Soul Cultivation Stage, and even unexpected is, Altima manage to enter the Four Soul Stage.

    Except for Fang Mu, the other four member manage to enter their two Soul Stage as well, making the Meng Jiang Jun a triple stronger team from when they entered the realm.

    But today, was not a good day for the Meng Jiang Jun.

    Because the rampage of the Ancient Titan Fortress Monarch Boar finally reached where the Meng Jiang Jun is located.

    But for them, whom already managed to form their Soul, escaping from the line of destruction is not a difficult matter.

    "Let us get off from the initial path where the beast is charging!"

    Altima lead the group and make a haste to charge towards the Southeast direction.

    But as Altima and group manage to escape from the Line of Destruction, they were pursued by another group of cultivators instead.

    "Brother Altima, I recognize the group of cultivators. Their uniform is from the Eastern Blazing Kingdom."

    Wu Chung quickly informs Altima about the cultivators that were chasing them.

    "Brother Mobi, scan their overall strength, and calculate a rough winning percentage if we are to clash with each other."

    Altima whispered to Mobi, and next to his team members.

    "Guys, We might be involved with this group of cultivators for a fight."

    "Make sure we are in our initial formation."

    Twenty minutes later, the two side finally meet with each other.

    "Brother Tian, this group of people really daring. They actually stopped and dare to confront us."

    "You guys from the Eastern Blazing Kingdom, what are you trying to achieve here ?"

    "Little Lass, you better don¡¯t pissed us off, shut the hell up and let us finish our words!"

    "Who do you think you are? We are not as easy to bullied like you expect."

    "What? We are from the great kingdom, after all, we can boss around without bothering who are you guys from."

    "Shut the hell up. Say what you want, if not, we will leave without bothering about what you guys say."

    "Well, I want that two lasses to stay here to serve six of us. If we are happy, we maybe can consider leaving you guys to stay alive, only to lost your cultivation."

    "We are kind enough, don¡¯t you think ?"

    "Ridiculous."

    "Meng Jiang Jun. Get ready for battle."

    "Understood."

    The two sides converse for a moment, but as the conversation goes worst and unfriendly, Altima and the group decided to stop continue speaking with them.

    "Little bro."

    "Yeah, Brother Mobi."

    "Careful. There is a large amount of treasure undulations spread around their body."

    "If in that case, I would say we are in luck."

    "Younger Bro, are you thinking the same thing as I do ?"

    "We are born from the same womb after all."

    "So, let''s get to the main point."

    "Meng Jiang Jun!"

    "Yes!"

    "This group of people seems to be quite wealthy in outer, inner, and within their treasure rings. Shall we grab some as compensation for talking trash with us ?"

    "Agree!"

    "Let us get rid of them."

    "Charge!!"

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Try this! (Great Desolation Fist!)"

    One of the cultivators charge towards the group and trying to separate Altima''s group so the others could take advantage on the Meng Jiang Jun as they disperse into a different direction.

    Qing Yi and Wen Qing quickly get together and escape to one direction.

    Wu Chung leads two cultivators to his side, along with Fang Mu behind him.

    Gu Pang is standing nicely in the middle unmoved and tried to face another huge burly cultivator.

    While for Altima, he slowly moves to one side, face to face with Brother Tian.

    = = = = =

    "Little lass, if you two know your situation, you better make sure you surrender before we hurt your beautiful body."

    "Shut the hell up, it''s making the air around us getting even filthy."

    "Looks like you two need to get some harder treatment, then only you two willing to surrender willingly."

    "Take this!"

    (Great Desolation Fist!)

    The cultivator throws a rain of fist towards Qing Yi, and immediately make a somersault to behind Qing Yi so he can make a sneak attack towards this beautiful lady.

    But Qing Yi does not falter in her defense. She laid a piece of ice crystal in front of her, blocking the rain of fist altogether before she releases a surge of Freezing Yin essence surrounding her, so the cultivator''s speed decrease by 10%.

    "Brr, This freezing aura is so strong, this girl is a Kan Essence Cultivator."

    (Frozen Triple Chain Palm!)

    Qing Yi swept away the cultivator''s fist before she lands two attacks on his chest. And at the same time, she sneakily activates a Triple Dragon Cannon before she places the Cannon inside his clothing.

    "What, you want to take off my clothing? No need to do it yourself, let this brother undress for you."

    The cultivator makes an action to undress, but before he did, a triple explosion happened within his garment.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

    A triple Dispersing Formation exploded within the cultivator, totally destroying all his Martial art capability, his treasure defensive capability, and his body physical defensive strength.

    "Chances!"

    (Eternal Freezing Yin Fist!)

    Qing Yi wastes no chances and lands a heavy attack on the cultivator''s head.

    Unexpected from the cultivator himself, his body actually ran out of all kind of protection strength, and immediately receive the martial Art fist directly with a mortal body.

    Shocking all the other cultivator within that spot, the Cultivator had his brain exploded, with all the blood and brain juice flowing out and frozen into crystal pieces as they flow out from the seven orifices.

    Just like this, Qing Yi easily killed a practitioner of Early Two Soul Practitioner of Zen Tier.

    In the same side, Wen Qing too manages to overpower her opponent, and with two swings from her weapon, she crippled the cultivator''s arm before she slams her weapon on the head of the cultivator, and had his skull destroyed in the strike.

    Wu Chung is facing more difficulties instead but added with Fang Mu''s speed, he manages to relax with his guard on his back while facing the cultivator with a reckless approach.

    Without giving chances to the cultivator to rest. Wu Chung Challenge two of them together, while leaving his defensive to the hands of Fang Mu.

    But as a recently advanced two soul Practitioner, Wu Chung still face some difficulties to resist their attack.

    Only thing is, Wu Chung is lucky to face this two-person as a Li Essence cultivator. Their Li essence strength is not as pure as Wu Chung, thus allowing him to obtain advantages when the Li Essence clashes with each other during their exchange.

    But instead of using the might of Triple Dragon Cannon, Wu Chung propose a different approach instead.

    When the two cultivators slam their strongest attack with their Li Essence, Wu Chung actually withdraw the Magma Newborn from his Spatial Ring, and refine the Li Essence the two cultivators send toward Wu Chung and inject it into the Newborn without reserve.

    Grabbing the advantage during this exchange, Fang Mu charge towards the two cultivators and land two strikes using his Briolite made weapon, and pierce their throat, making them unable to breathe.

    With a hollow throat, the cultivator failed to swallow any medicinal pellets to preserve their life, this their burning fire of life, faded as their body falls to the ground, motionless.

    Gu Pang is overpowering his opponent instead. Although only being a two soul cultivator, Gu Pang who possess the Thunder-Soul Heart treasure and the Lightning Fusion Body manage to fight easily against a three soul cultivator, and overpowering him in all aspect.

    His speed is double his opponent, making the Eastern Blazing Kingdom cultivator getting dizzy from chasing his opponent movement.

    His Strength in each Fist he simply strikes out is stronger by three times. Without powered by any martial arts.

    His body is durable, and in the same time, fast.

    His thickness of Zhen Essence is so strong, that all the nearby Zhen Essence is clearly absorbed by him before anyone could absorb it.

    Without giving any mercy, Gu Pang deals a critically accurate attack and break the cultivator spine into two, before he keeps on towards his neck, his ribcage, and soon his pelvic bones. In a blink of eyes, the cultivator died a horrible death, by having all the bones in his body broken.

    With all five companion is dead, Brother Tian is starting to get panic with the results. But unfortunately, the other senior brothers that are within the King Stage and Emperor Stage is not within their nearby, so he is forced to face this fight himself.

    As he charges, Altima finally noticed that this cultivator, actually possess no specialty within his body, and only depending on the treasures to become strongest and leading the group.

    Lazy to dirtied his hand by sparring with brother Tian, Altima launches a Spear strike and Killing brother Tian In one exchange.

    "Let us grab all the treasure, and leave this area as soon as possible."

    Altima knows that this case won''t is stopping here because he and his group at least managed to salvage more than 100 type of treasures in their hand because they managed to kill all 6 cultivators that charge towards them aggressively.

 Chapter 118 - End of Autumn Hunt. Divinity Clan make their entrance!

    With the Final Day is over for the Autumn Hunt, all the Special tag within the cultivator''s hand started to flash in a brilliant light, and forcing the Space between the cultivator to be twisted, and return them to their original world.

    In just a few seconds, the surrounding around them changed, and all the cultivator finally returned to where they originally came from.

    But the first moment all of them appeared, the elders, leaders, are the most shocked person to realize that within this autumn hunt, large casualties had happened.

    Within the four Great Ancient Kingdom, a total of fifty cultivators among 400 of them is reportedly dead because of numerous reasons.

    While for the three super-sect and the Divinity Clan, they receive no casualties at all. All 400 cultivators of their Outer sect is still perfectly gathered within the open area.

    Next is the five Great Kingdom. Except for the whole Desert Crystal the Sand Kingdom that venture deep into the North is totally decimated, the other 4 Great Kingdom receive total casualties around 250 cultivators, as there is only 150 cultivators manage to successfully return from the hunt.

    The five Faction had suffered heavy casualties as well. At least 300 of them is dead during this time, leaving only around 200 of them still alive from this Autumn Hunt.

    Most sad will be the three other smaller factions.

    This three smaller faction had all their outer disciple massacred within the Autumn Hunt, without any witnesses to explain what had just happened.

    But nevertheless, this indicates the end of the Autumn Hunt, and after the Divinity Clan Envoy congratulates all the participant who managed to survive, this once a year event finally reach its conclusion, and slowly had all the faction disperse.

    But nobody knows, that after this Autumn Hunt, there will be an even bigger selection coming up in future, which will affect the faction strength within the Flame Forest Continent.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Within the Divinity Clan''s Floating Cloud Mountain.

    "Warmest Greetings from the Divinity Clan towards the three main Sect Patriarch of Flame Forest Continent."

    "How is your health now, Patriarch Fire Cloud ?"

    "I''m better now, thanks to the magical medicine the Divinity Clan blessed to the Fire Cloud Sect."

    "Is the Essence Attracting Formation working well for the Garuda Emperor Clan, respected Patriarch of Garuda ?"

    "It is working even better than the previous formation, only by looking at it already giving me an unbelievable surprise."

    "Patriarch of the Armament Sect, do you face any problem from utilizing the Demon Fire Forge ?"

    "No worries honored Grand Elder, we even felt that we are underutilizing the Demon Fire Forge effectiveness. This patriarch is too old, I guess."

    "Armament''s Patriarch, please do not be too humble, you still have many years to go ahead from here. Even the Divinity Clan praise Patriarch skill in handling and forging weapons."

    "Ha Ha Ha! That¡¯s too much as a praise to this old man."

    "Please don¡¯t be too humble in front of this young Grand Elder, I have yet to reach your age of cultivation."

    "Shall we discuss the happening this time within the Autumn Hunt ?"

    "The Divinity Clan Envoys manage to uncover a few piece of truth within the land this time."

    "Oh!"

    "Grand Elder, please continue."

    "First, is the rampaging issue of the Adult Monarch Beast, the Ancient Titan Fortress Monarch Boar. From the report of the envoys, the rampage this time is totally caused by the recklessness from the Cold Flame Kingdom."

    "Due to this matter, the casualties this time had increased by two-fold compared to previous year."

    "In this matter as well, we could easily deduce that how many guardians is within this Cosmo Realm, and where are they located."

    "In fact, two of our envoy manage to survive the ambush from another two side of the continent, and fight with the Guardian directly."

    "Although the detail of the fight is not clearly recorded, but from the Envoys word, we can believe that the Golden Scales Colossal Jiao Monarch Dragon, is located within the Eastern, with a threat level at least Early Emperor Stage of Kun Tier."

    "We also manage to encounter and hold the advance of the Silver Fang Monarch Tiger, with a threat level of estimated Middle of King Stage of Kun Tier, Ruling over the South."

    "Now, only the West is yet to shown its face, I believe it would be soon anytime from now."

    The Envoy starts with the report regarding two more other Monarch Grade Beast, and then continue with the next topic as he receives no questions about this.

    "This time, a group of 6 cultivators manages to stumble a treasure among the treasure, which is the Underground Purified Lake of Tri Essence."

    Another Treasure is the Empress of Demon Bees Larva, where the Divinity Clan decided to have it kept within this Floating Cloud Mountain."

    "Lastly, would be the Appearance of a Magma Newborn. But sadly this Newborn had already been obtained by one of the cultivator groups."

    "That¡¯s is seriously too bad."This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

    "Do you think that the group must have a sort of good luck ?"

    "Even with luck, they need to have strength, and resources too, or else, their path in growing the Volcanic Newborn will be difficult."

    (And yet, The Meng Jiang Jun just recently obtained a Flame Realm to compensate for that resources part!)

    "And now, shall we enter the next part of the discussion ?"

    "Grand Elder, please don¡¯t be so humble, we from the three sects is all ears."

    "The Divinity Clan wished to hold the Intake for Divinity Path Exam next year."

    "The Armament Sect will support the Divinity Clan''s decision on this matter."

    "The Garuda Emperor Clan as well."

    "The Fire Cloud Sect too."

    "Well, thanks for the support of three patriarchs, we will be proceeding with the exam titles then. For the number of practitioners, we will allow entering for the three main sects, of course, will be higher than other small factions."

    "We thank the Divinity Clan''s generosity in providing the chances for the younger generation."

    "Ha Ha Ha! Today is such a happy day, shall we continue with our meal ?"

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Brother Altima!"

    Qing Yi rushed to Altima''s room and knock his door furiously.

    "What''s wrong ?"

    Altima comes out after he put on his proper garment.

    "The announcement came out, Brother Altima is positioned within the top 20 stronger Outer Disciple now!"

    Qing Yi happily announces his results, but for Altima, this is nothing special to him.

    Two months had passed since Altima and group return from the Autumn Hunt. Due to the huge number of casualties, the disciple placement had big changes. Altima position rose from bottom 100 best disciple, into the top 50s in his first month, and become within the top 20s in his second month.

    Between that two months, the Meng Jiang Jun manage to participate in more different mission, be it in subjugation, Protection, and Hunting task. During this period, the Meng Jiang Jun is forced to split into two different group, and sometimes into three groups to manage themselves in handling all the Mission especially requested on them.

    With this progress, the Meng Jiang Jun quickly had their reputation rose into a stage where even the Mission Hall specially provides them with a special Tablet of identification.

    "Honoured Task Force of Spirit Beast Clan - Ferocious General''s Troops!"

    Because of this special treatment, more and more new disciple tried their luck to join the Troops, but due to the strict requirements, none of them make it to their final round, which required all members within the troops to agree with a person.

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    Within the Exchange Hall.

    "Senior Brother, Can I have a look at the available treasure to exchange ?"

    Altima maintains his politeness, although his position within the Outer Disciple is clearly different by now.

    "Oh! Younger Martial Brother Altima, come, take a look on this few treasure that came earlier this week. Especially bring in by our treasure hunting team."

    The Senior brother, in this duration of two months, started to change even more in the term of attitude and started to socialize with Altima more, because of his good reputation among the outer Clan.

    "Younger Martial Brother, take your time to slowly look, I will return to my position first."

    "Thank you, Senior Brother, I will let you know if I need anything."

    With a simple exchange of words, the senior brother return to his post, while Altima spends his time looking and scanning for the treasure he could exchange.

    During this two month period, Altima had organized a few procurement trips to the newly change 48th State Capital City, which used to be the 13th State City under the Elder Duke Wei.

    The main motive for this few procurement trips?

    Of course, it is for obtaining sufficient Metallurgy products.

    With the capability of his Private Cultivation Farm had improved, Altima had no requirement to forcefully increase his strength before Mobi, so he choose to strengthen Mobi''s capability as the first priority.

    In the same time, Due to the changes happened to the current Capital City, Altima manage to obtain a few chances to procure a large amount of Martial Arts that he believe it could be used to enhance his Martial Capability.

    Within this two-month as well, Altima manage to strengthen his Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace as well, making it even stronger and thicker with the concentrated of Yin and Yang Essence.

    Silvia, who cultivate within the realm, started to have drastic changes, but in the matter of sizes and essence undulation, is nowhere comparable with her current condition.

    Silvia chose to embark towards the path of Enlightenment Beast, and slowly adapting into the cultivation to obtain a human body. Due to this matter, Altima decided to not disturb Silvia in her cultivation, and only supporting her from behind.

    While for the Naughty Celestial Origin Dragon, Tian, instead of growing, the dragon end up sleeping all the time, but still occasionally eat a large amount of food before it goes back to sleep.

    The Scarlet King is different instead. Slowly adjusting its appetite to eating and refining more Medicinal Ingredient that is an excess from Altima''s previous Autumn Hunt harvest, the Scarlet King manage to shed her skin twice, allowing her body size to increase from 50 Meters Length, into roughly 80 Meters length now. Of course, the two times of shedding skin equivalent to two level of increased in her cultivation.

    The registered Citizen within the Cultivating Farm had increased as well.

    Not counting the 2,000 goblins that were commissioned to the Capital City Mines to work on behalf of Altima and the Elder Duke Wei, The total number of goblins within the farm hard increased from 1,000 to 1,500.

    Meanwhile, for the Ancient Elves, their numbers increased from 4,200 to 5,500 Elves, and within the village, a total of 1,500 Elves successfully obtain their Heritage Rituals, while another 4,000 of them are living their lives as normal elves within the Village.

    But for Mo Yue and Pang Yan, perhaps some additional people is needed, due to the large age gap between two of them.

    Within the Southern Continent of Lan Shen Dalu.

    A few cultivator is seen running across this destroyed city, trying to escape from something chasing behind them.

    In this period of Half a Year, many things happened within the Blue God Continent.

    "Brother Guinness! They are close to our position."

    "Wen Xing, you go first, I will take the risk to handle them."

    "Brother Guinness, let us escape first, we are about to reach the Martial Emperor City."

    "Fine, let us quickly enter the city."

    "Open the door! Deploy the formation to held the Lesser Wyverns that coming toward us."

    "Open the gate! Deploy the Tower''s Ballista!"

    The wooden gate opened, and in the same time, a total of six adjustable Ballista is aimed at the flying Lesser Wyverns that flying over the walkway.

    "Shu!!"

    A stream of Heavy Siege Arrows is shot towards the wyvern, and take their life without a moment of cries is heard.

    "Brother Altima, don¡¯t come back to the Lan Shen Dalu, this place is now overrun by Demonic Beast already."

    "Pass this Medicinal Treasure to Yang Wu Di, make sure he is totally healed before you allow him to get off from his bed!"

    "How is the report from other factions ?"

    "General! Our returned scouts reported that the Guo Family, the Qin Family, and the Ming Sect had totally perished. Their city is overrun by various type of Wyverns, and we recently spotted a huge Emperor of Kun Tier Wyvern Flying about the Sun and Moon Great City as well."

    On the southern side of the Flame Forest Continent, within the Southern Flame Conqueror City.

    "Are you sure we can get a way to enter the Spirit Beast Clan ?"

    Ganesha says.

    "I''m sure of it!"

    A younger male replied. After looking on his feature in detail, this male bear the familiarity features of Altima previous close friend and follower, Gan Ning.

    "How do we get in the way to Spirit Beast Clan? We don¡¯t even know a single soul within this continent!"

    Ganesha replied.

    "No worries, sister Ganesha, I have this treasure with me!"

    Gan Ning opened his palm and reveal a piece of treasure.

    (Core of Jadestone Demonic Golem)

    "This Golem Core is what master Altima left to me before he leaves Lan Shen Dalu."

    "This time, we need to make sure we can deliver the message regarding the changes happened to the Lan Shen Continent, and request the aid from the Spirit Beast Clan before the period of 2 years end."

    "If not, the continent will sure be flooded by the frenzied Wyverns."

    Gan Ning continued.

    "But sister Ganesha.."

    "What ?"

    "Aren''t you hungry? I''m about to faint by now.."

    "Me too.."

    The duo, seriously air headed as they reach the Southern City. Due to their ignorance, they got pickpocket as soon as they enter the city, and currently traveling without a single Balancing Zen Pills within their hand.

    If the issue goes even worst, they might need to even sell the only Golem Core and Ganesha''s Neolite Weapon to have some pills in hand to purchase some foods.

    "Guys! I heard that there is a recruitment for Carriage guards, to protect the Wealthy Shi-Wen Family youngest missus to the Eastern Blacksmith Kingdom."

    "Did you heard that ?"

    Ganesha and Gan Ning staring at each other.

    "Let us go get a job first, we need to fill our stomach before we can travel to the Spirit Beast Clan!"

    The duo quickly runs together with others, in hope to get picked into the carriage guards employment.

    "Honey, I will come to your side soon, believe in Ganesha.."

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Senior Brother, can I please exchange this few treasures ?"

    Altima pointed at the few treasure within the list.

    "Of course! Younger Martial Brother, you are too humble."

    The senior brother replied, and immediately after he exchanges the item requested by Altima after he taps the medallion for once.

    Bringing the item and return to his room once again, Altima Immediately activates the treasure and tried to blend it into his spatial realm to see what wonder would happen.

    "First Treasure used! Mystic Enhancing Realm Spatial Tablet!"

    With a shine brilliantly flashed within his Tai-Wu-Ji Realm, a total of 10 meters increased within the realm, bringing it to a total of 1,010 Meters after checking its condition.

    "Second Treasure used! Essence burst Fertilizer!"

    Another flash happened in the Tai-Wu-Ji Realm and causing the Supreme Dragon Tongue Plant to burst off with abundant amounts of Yin and Yang Essence that¡¯s suitable for him to refine a large amount of Supreme Ultimate Pellet and Without Ultimate Pellets.

    Of course, trying to take advantage of the special treasure he recently uses, Altima seated himself within, and refine the essence without any hesitation.

    Within Altima''s storage, he possesses a large amount of Tai-Wu-Ji Beads as well, but at the moment, no special usage is found regarding this special beads. Altima did try to pass it to Gunther and Mo Yue to try to forge something with it or use it to Imbue into weapons, but both ends with failure.You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

    While for the Supreme Ultimate Pellet, Altima could utilize them in his Triple Dragon Cannon Concoction, and the Without Ultimate Pellet to be used in refining his body capability.

    In the same time, Altima managed to thoroughly refine his Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace too, allowing him to obtain the special bonuses this time, which is the Spirit Firming Fruit, the Empress of Lake Leaping Pearl, and lastly, the Fate Tempering Alchemic Ling Zhi.

    Spirit Firming Fruit - Peak Spiritual Stage of Zen Tier Treasure

    Description: The Spiritual Firming Fruit allows one to strengthen their Condensing ability in essence absorption, allowing them to refine and condensed the essence surrounding into a better and higher grade. One has no limit on how many Spirit Firming Fruit they can eat in their lifetime, but due to the fruit is a rarity on its own, less than 10 fruits can be found in the World every year.

    Fate Tempering Alchemic Ling Zhi - Special Alchemy Treasure, Only for Alchemist

    Description: the Fate Tempering Alchemic Ling Zhi is a special treasure that enhances the compatibility with ingredients, and the luck in concocting. Once eaten, an Alchemist will receive a total of 2% increase in his ingredient understanding and compatibility, and 1% on his concoction success luck. The Alchemist will also obtain certain ingredient knowledge, allowing them to perfectly use a material only by a look.

    Obtaining the three different treasure once his strengthening of the Inner Alchemy Palace Realm is succeeded, Altima immediately ate both of the treasure that specially prepared by the realm to him, before he passes the Leaping Pearl to the hungry Tian.

    Feeling there is not too much difference happened to his body, Altima of course, proceed to finish his refining in the Tai-Wu-Ji Realm before he returns to complete his other daily task.

    Almost close to the period of being living within the Flame Forest Continent for half a year, Altima finally successfully gathered a few relevant Yin and Yang-based martial art that could further enhance his martial capability.

    Of course, this all wouldn¡¯t come if it doesn¡¯t add with Altima''s persistence in training and enhance his martial art capability each single day without missing once.

    With the appearance of Inner Alchemy Treasure Palace, Altima could utilize the Palace Realm to practice his Martial Cultivation, resting and other basic activities without restraint. The only bad thing is he couldn¡¯t utilize it to allow others to enter and cultivate as well.

    While for the Tai-Wu-Ji Realm appearance in his life, Altima could refine a good amount of Supreme Ultimate and Without Ultimate Pellets each day, along with the Tai-Wu-Ji Beads. Of course, this all increase his fluidness in refining many different essences without a problem.

    Within his private cultivation farm, Altima starting to change his main production, and started to produce ingredients and materials for him to start concocting the Advance Profound Zen Pill, as well as the Raising Zen Pill that he could utilize to purchase higher grade martial arts within the few nearby different states.

    Building up his basics, Altima did not forget his bet with the Ling''s Elder.

    Just today, a new Disciple Ranking Placement List had recently come from the Elders Hall.

    Altima rose by a few ranks again and positioned within the top 15 Strongest Cultivator by now.

    Meanwhile, for the Contribution points obtained, Altima is positioned within the top 10 highest contributions made among the Outer Disciple Group.

    Currently, there is only 15 more disciple, who had been sitting in the top position within the Outer Disciple for quite long, where within the top 10 disciples, at least 8 of them had already started to enter their Early King Stage of Zen Tier by now.

    With Altima''s cultivation still stagnant in the Four Soul Stage, soon Altima will be requiring to explore the world outside, to obtain the sufficient essence to further form his Fire Soul, Thunder Soul, Water Soul and Mountain Soul.

    Although the Meng Jiang Jun possessed the Thunder Realm and Flame Realm, but he would still go out to look for the final two different Soul elements, before he could go for the easier way.

    After preparing for a week, Altima finally ready to leave on his own, to the well-known Center of the Flame Forest Continent, the Supreme Conqueror of Flame Mountain to further his cultivation within there, by obtaining the most likely appeared Water Soul and Mountain Soul.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the same time, Altima make his departure towards the Supreme Conqueror of Flame Mountain, a person within the 47th State of the Flame Lion Ancient Kingdom is making his move as well.

    "Brother Han, are you sure we are going to make a move to take over the 16th State City ?"

    "Of course, we had already prepared to assault the City internally and externally. Once the troops manage to enter the city border, both of them will cooperate and bring down the City lord, and conquer it under the name of the 17th State City."

    "If this assault is successful, the 47th State Elder Duke will praise me for sure, to increase his total city from only 3 cities into 4 cities soon."

    "But, Brother Tong, you must support me in this assault. I hope you won''t ignore this brother request, and assist me in defending my city from the outside assault, especially from the 19th State City Lord, that idiotic Lord Nicole."

    "No worries Brother Han, I will make sure the 18th State City will transfer part of its troop to cover the 17th State City defense when you are attacking them."

    "Then that¡¯s how it will be decided."

    "Men! Are you all ready to bring one more city into the 47th State ?"

    "Yes my lord!"

    "Let us depart, and return with victory!"

    -----------------

    "My Lord, the scout manage to receive a report that a large number of Troops had been deployed from the 17th State City from the 47th State, and we are expecting them to arrive within three days worth of time."

    "This is bad, quickly inform Elder Duke Wei and request for additional Aid!"

    "Yes my lord!"

    "What makes that simple man Lord Han to mobilize such a large number of troops to attack the 16th State City ?"

    "Secretary of Landscape and Exploration Captain, summon both of them here in haste!"

    And within an hour, the two people was summoned, appear within the City Lord Mansion.

    "Is there anything new registered within the exploration, as well as any new surrounding landscape is reported ?"

    "My lord, we are yet to send our exploration team to check on certain ruins that located northeast from the City, but we believe it to be a Kun Tier Ancestor Tomb."

    "My Lord, due to insufficient credit within the treasury, we too face difficulties in hiring more manpower to follow the exploration group to open the tomb entrance."

    "They must be marching to the city, and try to occupy us along with the tomb. Quickly send Elder Duke Wei a message, stating that a Kun Tier Ancestor Tomb is found, ask for additional Troops to assist now!"

    "Yes My lord!"

    Within the Armament Pavilion.

    "My lord, we recently purchase a few Treasures from the 48th State Capital City, and at the same time, we found out a few treasures that were sold from there, came from the Spirit Beast Clan Exchange Hall."

    "And what''s so special about this treasures ?"

    "My lord, this junior doesn¡¯t dare to speak."

    "Go ahead! You will be forgiven for any mistakes in the word you said."

    "My lord, we notices a few weapon we purchased, are made by our very own Armament Pavilion, and some of it is well known to be held under a few seeded disciple within our Outer Pavilion Disciple."

    "Junior checked with the Outer Pavilion Disciple as well, and we found out that among that few weapon, around 7 of them belong to 50 disciples that were killed within the Autumn Hunt."

    "What? Does this means that the Spirit Beast Clan Disciples is the one that massacring our Outer Pavilion Disciple ?"

    "We afraid that¡¯s the case, if not, how could such an amount of treasure that belongs to the Armament Pavilion Disciple is sold out from their hand ?"

    "Prepare the steads, we will depart to the Spirit Beast Clan, and get an exact answer from them!"

    "We need to show them that although the Pavilion is Independent and not directly under Armament Sect, we still held the right and not easy to bully like they wish!"

    "Call the Top 5 Outer Pavilion Disciple to follow along, let us show them some of our strength!"

    "Yes, My lord."

    -------------------------------------------------------

    In an outskirt Village before the entrance of the Supreme Conqueror of Flame Mountain.

    "Youngster, are you here to enter the Mountain Path ?"

    An elder woman in her 100s of age, initiate a word with Altima.

    "Yes, old lady. Is there anything you need ?"

    Altima politely replies that lady and looking forward to listening to her, because Altima believes that to obtain the most recent news regarding this mountain and its danger lurking behind, it would be the best to hear it from the locals.

    "Recently my Grandchildren keep on saying that there is plenty of Volcanic Beast activities around the Foot of the mountain."

    "Perhaps this young Cultivator could hear this old woman''s worries, and kill some of them as you enter the mountain, so the village can be safe from their threats ?"

    The elder woman explains the situation to Altima and asks him for a favor.

    "This lady is too old, I only have this precious plant with me, I hope young cultivator could do this old lady a favor and protect the villagers."

    The lady pointed to a small plant within her house garden area, but as Altima looked at the plant, it gave him a slight shock.

    "That¡¯s a Supreme Dragon Tongue Plant! Although it is still young, but that plant is growing healthily."

    "Old lady, This young one will promise you I will try my best to solve the over populated Volcanic Beast, but I will only take my rewards after I successfully fulfill my promise."

    "I will be on my way now, Old lady, please take care."

    Altima finished his words, and depart towards the Foot of the Supreme Conqueror of Flame Mountain.

 Chapter 120 - Entering Supreme Conqueror of Flame Mountain! (End of Second Arc)

    "Brother Mobi, please run a Full scan on the surrounding, and please assist me in spotting relevant ingredient and material for Forging and Concocting."

    Altima withdraws his Meng Jiang Yin Yang Spear and explore around the foot of the mountain, and quickly slain a large amount of Volcanic Silver Wolf, Volcanic Tree Demon, Greedy Goblin Beast and some rarity Fiery Mountain Crow.

    Killing the beast and obtaining their basic produce to refine into a good amount of Li Essence, Gen Essence and some other forging materials such as the bones, the pelts, the woods and the fiery feathers, Altima continue his pursuit, and take his sweet time to quickly dispose as much Demonic Beast as he could.

    In his first day, a total of 500 demonic beasts is slain, allowing Altima to have a good rest as he returns to the village. Another 500 on his second day, 500 on third, fourth, fifth, Altima repeat it for a total of 8 days and completely kill off a total of 4,000 Demonic Beast before he explores deeper into the mountain.

    "So, Brother Mobi mentioned that within the foot of the first mountain, there is a total of three different Demonic Beast Nest on the bottom of the mountain."

    "I will go in and have a look."

    Altima went deeper into the mountain path, and make a few adjustment in between of his two days trip, so he could leave a detailed trail for himself when the next time he returns.

    Before he left, Altima had passed a spatial ring that addressed to the Spirit Beast Clan, Mission Hall, to report for his subjugating and hunting mission. Based on Altima current rank within the Outer Disciple, Altima already possesses his right to deliver and receive mission externally without the needs to report to the Hall each time.

    One thing that the outside of Flame Forest Continent couldn¡¯t do perfectly on their own, is the method to utilize the demonic beast in a person''s real life.

    Due to this reason, the Spirit Beast Clan obtain a huge amount of respect, of being the 16 continents best Demonic Beast Handler.

    Providing services, training and supplies, Spirit Beast Clan involved in the business of utilizing demonic beast in daily life.

    The pricing of the demonic beast starts from 500 Boosting Zen Pill onwards, where normal Demonic Beast Grade below Soul Stage is provided.

    "Unexpectedly, this nest is crowded with a large amount of Flame Scale Lizard."

    "Not too bad, and this nest contained at least 2,000 of them within. Guess I need at least two to three days to completely clear this nest."

    "Chirrp!"

    A Fiery Mountain Crow came into Altima''s sight, with a piece of ornament tied on the neck of the Crow.

    Altima injects some essence energy into the Ornament, and feed a Beast Strengthening Pellet into the Crow''s mouth as it snacks for delivering the item within the Ornament.
