After Xiao Chen advanced to Martial Grand Master, the clear spring in his body had turned into a gushing river. The tiny Blue Dragon had also grown significantly larger and was churning in the river.
Xiao Chen could clearly feel that the gushing river had not only much more Essence than before, but it was also more ferocious, surging, and purer.
The Essence in his body circulated for a great cycle. Finally, under Xiao Chen's control, he carefully washed the wound on his chest. A trace of cold Qi drifted out from the wound.
Xiao Chen's face lit up with joy. This cold Qi could be expelled. Otherwise, Xiao Chen would not be able to do anything about it. He might even bleed to death.
However, what Xiao Chen did not expect was that the cold Qi contained in this tiny wound was much more than he had imagined. Xiao Chen did not eat or drink. He circulated his Essence for two days and two nights before the cold Qi was completely expelled.
Xiao Chen got up and felt like his entire body was about to collapse. He walked to the wooden bed step by step and collapsed on his back, falling unconscious.
Xiao Chen slept for twenty hours. When he woke up, he felt much more refreshed. Xiao Chen's stomach was rumbling from hunger. After he washed up, he quickly found a restaurant to satisfy his craving for good food.
Inside the restaurant, Xiao Chen started to think about the details of this mission. Firstly, this mission did not make sense. Furthermore, he was sure that the mysterious Martial Saint was not one of Ge Binyun's men.
When Xiao Chen thought of the intense competition for spots in the inner sect, he thought of a possibility. Could it be that because the spots were limited, Ge Binyun wanted Xiao Chen to back off? However, some people could not hold back and wanted to deal with Xiao Chen once and for all?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Xiao Chen smacked the table heavily and smiled coldly in his heart. I want to see who is playing tricks behind my back.
After settling the bill, Xiao Chen walked quickly to the City Lord's Residence. The cultivator guarding the door recognized Xiao Chen's appearance. After he reported his arrival, he brought Xiao Chen in.
The City Lord was still receiving guests and could not see him for the time being. He could only ask him to wait in the side hall. Xiao Chen smiled indifferently and did not say anything. After that person left, he immediately took out a small bird sculpture from the Universe Ring.
After executing the Life Bestowal Spell, the little bird flapped its wings and flew out the door. Xiao Chen attached his Spiritual Sense to it. Controlling the bird to fly around the City Lord's Mansion, he finally found Ge Bingyun in the main hall.
In the great hall, Ge Bingyun was speaking with the Yunyang City's Zhang Clan Head. The Zhang Clan Head smiled faintly, "City Lord Ge, this Immortal Cloud Life Extending Pill of mine is not an ordinary Immortal Cloud Life Extending Pill. It contains the extremely rare Yellow Springs Grass. It can extend one's lifespan by forty years."
"My cultivation has long been stuck at the peak of the Martial Highness Realm. However, City Lord Ge, you are at the peak of the Martial King Realm. With another forty years to live, your chances of becoming a Martial Emperor will increase by leaps and bounds. Once you become a Martial Emperor, your lifespan will increase by another hundred years. "
Zhang Clan … Xiao Chen frowned, Could it be that Yunyang City's Zhang Clan? With a thought, Zhang Xuan carefully controlled the bird to fly a little further forward.
When Ge Bingyun heard this, he smiled faintly and said, "Old Zhang, don't worry. He will know when to retreat. With his strength, he will not be able to complete the mission I gave him."
The Zhang Clan Head muttered to himself for a while before saying, "I received news that that person has already completed the mission City Lord gave him."
Ge Yunbin's expression changed. He placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table and said sullenly, "Old Zhang, you have to be clear about this. This is someone that Miss Feng recommended. Do you dare to mess around with him?"
Old Zhang smiled gently, "City Lord, don't worry. Naturally, I would not dare to mess around with someone that Miss Feng recommended. Many of my Yunyang City's businesses have dealings with the Feng Clan. How could I dare to ruin my own livelihood?"
Ge Yunbin's expression relaxed and he slowly said, "It's good that you know. However, this makes things difficult for me. The inner sect has always been very strict. This is because the distribution of resources is very standard. If it were not for Leng Tianyue's mistake, there would not be a spot for Tianyue Peak."
Ge Yunbin's eyes lit up as he looked at the Peak Grade Immortal Cloud Life Extending Pill on the table. He was already a hundred and twenty years old and did not have much lifespan left. This Immortal Cloud Life Extending Pill held a fatal attraction for him.
He had been stuck at peak Martial King for many years. If he could not advance to Martial Monarch, he would turn into a pile of dust and stop advancing on the path of cultivation.
To the people of the world, a Martial King was an existence that they could only look up to. If a regular person could become a Martial Saint in their lifetime, they would already be praying to Buddha and the gods. However, Ge Yunbin knew that this was nothing. The higher one stood, the more insignificant one would feel.
The more one was reluctant to part with this world, the more stubborn one was on the path of cultivation. They were not willing to turn into a pile of dust and be forgotten by the world after a hundred years.
Ge Yunbin's face sank. After thinking for a long time, he sighed and finally said, "I can only let this person enter Qingyun Peak. I will leave the spot for Tianyue Peak for your grandson."
When the Zhang Clan Head heard this, he revealed an expression of joy. He smiled and said, "In that case, I will have to trouble City Lord. I will take my leave first and wait for your news."
After the Zhang Clan Head left, Ge Yunbin picked up the jade bottle containing the Immortal Cloud Life Extending Pill. He rubbed it repeatedly with a smile on his face.
He stood up and left the hall. Xiao Chen quickly controlled the small bird to follow behind him silently. After a while, Xiao Chen arrived at his own bedroom. He opened the jade bottle and examined it carefully.
"City Lord, the person that Miss Feng introduced has been waiting in the side hall for a long time," a cultivator's voice came from outside the door.
Xiao Chen cursed in his heart, So I have been waiting here for so long. To think that I only report this now. When he thought about how long it took the previous time, he could not help but feel even angrier.
Ge Yunbin frowned slightly, "I just started appraising it. To think that he picked this time to come. I can only appraise it later." He placed the Immortal Cloud Life Extending Pill on the table and opened the door, "Let's go!"
After Ge Yunbin left, Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense detected the Immortal Cloud Life Extending Pill in the room. Perhaps it was because Ge Bingyun was in a hurry to leave, he did not bring it with him.
"Should I just take it away … damn it, this fellow nearly caused me to die. Why should I be polite to him?" Xiao Chen made up his mind. He did not hesitate and controlled the small bird to fly into the room through the ventilation hole.
After the small bird entered, it immediately grabbed the Immortal Cloud Life Extending Pill on the table and flew out. Xiao Chen was somewhat nervous. He was afraid that someone would see him, so he controlled the small bird to fly high.
After a while, the small bird flew safely into Xiao Chen's hands. Xiao Chen quickly withdrew his spell and placed the wooden bird and the Immortal Cloud Life Extending Pill into his Universe Ring.
Just as he finished doing all this, the door to the side hall opened. Ge Yunbin walked in with a smile on his face. He said, "Nephew Ye Chen, have you completed your mission?"
Xiao Chen was mildly astonished, but his expression did not change. He stood up and bowed, "Greetings, Senior City Lord. This junior was fortunate enough to not fail the mission and managed to kill a Rank 5 Ice Ape."
After Xiao Chen spoke, he took out the corpse of the Ice Ape. Ge Binyun's expression changed slightly. Although he had heard this news from the Zhang Clan Head, he still could not believe it when he saw it for himself.
A Superior Grade Martial Master actually killed a Rank 5 Spirit Beast. This was unbelievable. He looked at Xiao Chen again and his eyes lit up. Xiao Chen had actually advanced to Inferior Grade Martial Grand Master.
"My eyes were actually blind, only now did I discover that nephew has advanced to Martial Grand Master. Congratulations!" Ge Yunbin looked at Xiao Chen and smiled faintly. However, he felt it was a pity in his heart. This person might really be a talent.
Xiao Chen's etiquette was not bad. He said humbly, "I still have to thank Senior City Lord. If it were not for the battle with this Rank 5 Spirit Beast, I would not have been able to advance to Martial Grand Master so smoothly."
Ge Yunbin's expression froze. Even for someone as smart as him, when he saw Xiao Chen's serious expression, he could not tell if Xiao Chen was mocking him or if he was sincerely thanking him.
Xiao Chen smiled embarrassedly, "There is no need to thank me. Being able to advance is your own good fortune. You can continue keeping the corpse of this Spirit Beast. Later, I will send someone to bring you to Lingyun Mountain Range."
Xiao Chen's emotions were somewhat complicated. He did not inspect the Spirit Beast's corpse carefully. He called someone over and said, "Bring this little brother to Lingyun Mountain Range and send him to Qingyun Peak. Bring my identity token there."
When this person heard the words' Qingyun Peak ', his expression was clearly stunned. His eyes were filled with astonishment. After he received Ge Yunbin's pure gold identity token, he reacted and said, "Alright, Brother Ye, please follow me!"
This was the second time Xiao Chen had heard of Qingyun Peak. Previously, he had guessed it in his heart. Now that he saw this person's expression, he was sure that this Qingyun Peak was not a good place to go.
However, it was not convenient for Xiao Chen to question him. He followed that person and started chatting along the way. Xiao Chen knew that this person's surname was Tang and his given name was Dingtian. He was the Deputy Chief Steward of the City Lord's Residence. He had a lot of authority in Saber City.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was below only one person and above tens of thousands. However, he was very humble. Along the way, he explained to Xiao Chen the things to take note of in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's inner sect.
The Heavenly Saber Pavilion's inner sect was split into seven branches. There were seven main peaks in the Lingyun Mountain Range. These seven branches were stationed on top of them. Every main peak had different requirements for their disciples. The Saber Techniques and Movement Techniques they learned were also different.
Aside from the Pavilion Master, who had the most authority in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, the Peak Masters of the various main peaks were next. Aside from them, there was also the Law Enforcement Hall, the Elders' Assembly, and various other organizations.
Tang Dingtian made it clear that there were many forbidden areas in the inner sect. Xiao Chen should never enter them. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire. No matter how powerful one's background was, the Law Enforcement Hall would not show any mercy.
Xiao Chen saw that the two of them were somewhat familiar with each other. So, he asked the question in his heart, "Chief Manager Tang, can you tell me more about Qingyun Peak?"
This was because Xiao Chen discovered that Tang Dingtian spoke a lot. However, he intentionally or unintentionally avoided the topic of where Xiao Chen was going next: Qingyun Peak.
Tang Dingtian suddenly stopped speaking. After a while, he smiled awkwardly and said, "The City Lord probably did not tell you. It is not convenient for me to tell you directly. Let's put it this way. Qingyun Peak is the weakest of the seven main peaks. However, the competition there is less."
The weakest? Xiao Chen smiled faintly in his heart. That is nothing much. Looking at the situation of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, the Peak Master should be at least a Martial King. He should be more than capable of giving pointers to Xiao Chen.
