When the surrounding cultivators found out about this youth's identity, everyone couldn't help but be moved. They knew that the Zhao Clan was about to rise.
Zhao Yuande's name instantly spread throughout Sky Flame City. Countless people used various methods to spread Zhao Yuande's deeds to other cities.
Spirit Grade Alchemist, Master of Water Sky City, Butcher who single-handedly annihilated a clan. No one would have thought that the person who carried these titles was actually a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old youth.
For a moment, Zhao Yuande's story was enthusiastically discussed. At the same time, people began to suspect that Zhao Yuande's rise in such a short period of time was due to some heaven-defying fortuitous encounter.
Some powerful existences also turned their attention to Zhao Yuande and began to get restless.
"Zhao Yuande is someone that my Fire Cloud Sect has taken a fancy to!"
At this moment, the Fire Cloud Sect's Seventh Elder stood out and said the words above.
Once these words were spoken, it instantly shocked everyone.
However, Zhao Yuande was already on his way back. He didn't think that the harvest this time would be so huge.
Although he annihilated the Zhou Clan mostly due to hatred, he also wanted to rely on the Zhou Clan's wealth to complete the primitive accumulation.
However, when he entered the Zhou Clan's treasury, other than a large amount of wealth, he also discovered something that shocked him. It was an Acquired Spirit Treasure that had lost its spirit!
This was a large halberd that was piled up among ordinary Spirit Treasures. It was covered in dust and didn't seem to be valued. If it wasn't for Zhao Yuande, others wouldn't be able to see any clues.
The first time Zhao Yuande saw this large halberd, he felt that it was extraordinary. When he held it in his hand, he instantly felt that it was as heavy as ten thousand catties. If he hadn't advanced to the Blood Qi Sea Transformation Realm and his physical strength had reached a hundred thousand catties, it would have been difficult for him to lift it.
His divine sense entered the large halberd and saw a desolate space without any vitality.
Zhao Yuande guessed that the large halberd's spirit must have been instantly killed by a powerful existence. After the Zhou Clan obtained it, they only felt that it was very heavy and couldn't use it. They could only rot in the treasury.
With this great halberd, Zhao Yuande's battle prowess had increased by another 30%, giving him the ability to fight against a mid-stage Spirit Incubation Stage expert.
After Zhao Yuande returned to his family, he faced his parents' puzzled gazes and told them the lie about being accepted as a disciple by Pill Crucible.
Actually, he had no choice but to do so. He could not speak of the real situation carelessly even if he was beaten to death. Even his parents would not tell outsiders. However, cultivators had a myriad of means. A strong cultivator could use their divine soul to search a person's sea of consciousness, leaving no place for secrets to hide.
After pondering for a long time, he handed over a few cultivation techniques that he had carefully selected to his parents and Ah Dong. He did not take out the most powerful cultivation techniques, but the ones that were most suitable for their physiques. This way, it would not shock the world and would also allow the three of them to build a solid foundation, so that they would not take any detours in their future cultivation.
Furthermore, using this variety of recipes to help the three of them improve their essence, energy, and spirit, their cultivation speed could only be described as one thousand miles a day.
His parents were shocked, and Zhao Yuande pushed all the blame to his groundless master.
During this period of time, Shui Youdao frequently visited the Zhao Clan to consult Zhao Yuande on some questions regarding alchemy.
Zhao Yuande did not stay idle during this period of time. He frequently went in and out of the Trading District to purchase a large amount of necessary spiritual herbs and stock them up.
Furthermore, he was also searching for an extremely precious tier-3 spiritual herb, the True Dragon Grass!
This was because when he was appraising the Four-winged Flying Horse, he found a recipe that he both loved and hated!
"Grade 4 vicious beast, Four-winged Flying Horse. Its meat contains a large amount of spiritual energy. Cultivators can replenish their blood and Qi and strengthen their physique when consumed … Low grade ingredient, matched with the recipe 'Dragon Horse Profound Soup'. 50% chance to increase the speed of cultivators condensing their divine soul. 50% chance to slightly increase the speed of cultivators. List of ingredients: Four-winged Flying Horse meat, True Dragon Grass, Profound Origin Fruit …"
The uncertainty of this recipe was too high. Both effects had a 50/50 chance, and he already had a divine soul. The first effect was useless to him.
The second effect was what he needed the most now. Although he had unparalleled strength and an indestructible body, speed was not his forte.
If a Spirit Incubation Stage cultivator came, they would be able to crush him in terms of speed. Now, as long as he increased his speed, it would undoubtedly have a huge impact on his battle.
If it was a 50/50 chance, he would need to prepare six sets of ingredients to increase his speed three times. If his luck was bad, he might not even be able to complete ten sets of ingredients!
After wandering around the Trading District for the past few days, he had already gathered all the other ingredients. The only thing he lacked was the True Dragon Grass.
"I heard that the Fire Cloud Sect's cultivators will arrive in the city tomorrow?" Walking in the Trading District, he heard people whispering.
"Yes! I heard that many young geniuses from the surrounding cities are rushing over. Haven't you noticed that there are many unfamiliar faces in the city recently? "
"That's right. I just saw Shui Donglai from Water Cloud City. He's the number one expert of the younger generation in Water Cloud City!"
"I wonder who's stronger between Shui Donglai and Miss Rushuang?"
"..."
"They'll arrive tomorrow? Looks like the day of the disciple recruitment is not far away. For safety's sake, I'd better speed up the search for the True Dragon Grass. " Zhao Yuande hurried towards the True Yang Treasure Tower. He had already told Jiang Tianyue what he needed, hoping that she could help him gather it.
Just a moment ago, a worker from the True Yang Treasure Tower sent a letter to the Zhao Clan, saying that they had found the True Dragon Grass.
"I just hope that I can find a few more. This way, I'll have more confidence in the upcoming battle."
Things were not perfect. The True Yang Treasure Tower helped Zhao Yuande purchase three stalks of True Dragon Grass from other cities. However, the price was very high.
He had already spent most of what he had obtained from the Zhou Clan's treasury. It was not enough to purchase these three stalks of True Dragon Grass.
He had no choice but to take out a True Spirit Xuanyuan Pill to sell. Only then was he able to fill this hole.
When he returned home, he cooked three big pots of soup. However, the results left him slightly disappointed. He only succeeded in increasing his speed by 30%.
East of the city, General's Mansion.
In a sealed stone room, a young man was soaked in a blood-red liquid. His face was contorted in pain and his teeth were biting his lips tightly. It seemed like he was in extreme pain.
An old man with snow-white hair was slowly adding all kinds of strange things into the liquid.
"Tianchao, you must endure it! This is my Chen Clan's collection for dozens of years. You must not disappoint me! " The white-haired old man fiercely struck various mysterious hand seals into the blood-red liquid. The blood-red liquid was like boiling water, instantly scalding Chen Tianchao until he cried out in pain.
"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts! " Chen Tianchao struggled with all his might to escape from the blood-red liquid, but he was firmly pressed down by the old man's large hand.
"Ah! I must succeed. I am the strongest genius in Sky Flame City. Zhao Yuande, I will suppress you until you can't raise your head … "Chen Tianchao repeated these words over and over again. His face was distorted and terrifying. He was almost hysterical!
As the sun rose from the east, Sky Flame City was bustling with noise.
Zhao Yuande faced the morning sun and stretched lazily. He let out a long breath of turbid air.
In his previous life, he awakened too late. In the end, he used all his strength to barely obtain the qualifications to become a Fire Cloud Sect disciple.
After his rebirth, not only did he obtain a heaven-defying physique, he also had the inheritance of the Food Dao. It was impossible for him not to amaze the world.
However, he could not be too dazzling. As the saying goes, the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. He only needed to hide in the Fire Cloud Sect and obtain the qualifications to enter the Ruins of God three years later.
