"Huh? Aren''t I just sharing a drink with you? Why so many problems?

    The thing you want exists, but I don''t have it.

    Most martial artists who reached the second tier have very strong willpower. To extract secrets from them, one must completely suppress their spirit,

    This requires the capability of Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators at the very least.

    If you wish to concoct talisman scrolls or pills that could achieve this, there must be a second-tier Alchemist, or a Golden Core Stage talisman scroll''s expertise involved.

    Can you fathom a little Qi refining cultivator like me, hiding in the mortal world, being capable of such feats?"

    "Oh." Chen Yi looked disappointed. It seemed that taking Vice Head Yang hostage and forcing him to reveal his martial methods was not going to happen anytime soon.

    As for the idea of using the young monk for the same, it was unnecessary. The monk didn''t know everything himself. For just a trivial Vajra Kung Fu skill of his, it wasn''t worth offending the entire Bright Temple.

    After some thought, Chen Yi asked several questions about Qi cultivation and pill refining.

    Elder Liu eventually reiterated exasperatedly, "These are my cultivation and alchemy notes. Take them and don''t bother me anymore!

    These are all the skills I know.

    As for the Turtle Breathing Technique, if you''re willing to practice till you become like a tortoise, go ahead.

    The cultivation pill formula can be found there too. A Qi Supplement Pill, which is enough for three or five days of cultivation, costs a hundred gold pieces worth of medicinal materials. If you have the money, go for it.

    But remember, once you start training in the Turtle Breathing Technique, it will take at least eight to ten years before you see any increase in your combat ability." S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Chen Yi was overjoyed. He couldn''t have imagined that he would lay bare all that Elder Liu had with such ease.

    With the "Tortoise Breathing Calming Qi Skills Cultivation Insights," "Alchemy for Beginners," "Apprentice Alchemist Technique Notes," and "Comprehensive Spirit Medicine and Alternative Experiment Records" in his possession, Chen Yi was ecstatic.

    He finally had the opportunity to cultivate the long-desired Turtle Breathing Technique. The only catch was having enough pills.

    But there was no rush. He would gradually accumulate what he needed.

    After leaving Elder Liu, Chen Yi wandered around the market on Island 32, purchasing some odds and ends in a grocer''s shop. This shopping spree shaved off more than a dozen gold pieces.

    After leaving the grocery store, Chen Yi ditched the pesky tail following him and returned to the Martial World through the lake.

    As for the conspicuous spending spree that attracted attention, Chen Yi surmised that it must be the Lin family''s doing on the island,

    However, at the moment, he didn''t have the time to deal with them. Once he wrapped up the matter of the martial method, he would carefully take care of the Lin family.

    After all, besides using spiritual mist in Qi cultivation, there was just one more way — spending money.

    And the Lin family happened to be quite rich!

    "Tie Qitang, Zhang Yunlai; Tong Qitang, Li Yongsheng; Steel Seven Hall, Hu Jiu; Yin Jiutang, Zhao Xiaopeng!"

    On the stage in the Ma Zi Gang headquarters, an overseer was reading out the names one by one,

    These were the potential candidates from each hall who had achieved Iron Skin Great Success. They were strong contenders for the four new Vajra positions, that is, the heads of the four halls.

    While the likes of Chen Qi (the character currently being played by Chen Yi) and other middle-level minions were standing behind their potential candidates,

    There were about ten men from each hall on the mission to amass achievements and promote their potential candidates.

    Chen Yi acted as Chen Qi, while Yun Hu was disguised as Chen Qi as well. He had been stationed outside Lingyin Temple in advance,

    In backup plans three, four, and five, there was a chance for Yun Hu to replace Chen Yi on stage.

    Vice Head Yang Youzhi supervised the members of the gang as they prepared to set off after having their fill of food and water.

    At that moment, a group of people entered from outside the courtyard gate. The leader was a young man in a black, vigorous outfit. His chest was broad and his arms were muscular and powerful. He carried a weighty long blade on his back,

    From afar, Vice Head Yang welcomed him with a bright smile,

    "Second young master of the Xu Family is here. I apologize for not greeting you sooner."

    "Uncle Yang, you''re too courteous. This time my father asked me to accompany you for some exposure and to learn from the world. I''ll need your guidance!"

    "Hahaha, no need to mention it. This is just a small exercise. Lingyin Temple is courting disaster by selling medicinal herbs to Xu family''s rivals and harboring a female fugitive wanted by our Ma Zi Gang. They deserve to be wiped out!

    Second young master, it''s getting late, and we have gathered our forces. When shall we set off?"

    Xu Yuan glanced at the sky and then briefly surveyed the more than forty skilled fighters from Ma Zi Gang. He called out,

    "We''ll set out now. Our target is Lingyin Temple on Lingyin Mountain, twenty miles to the west of the city!

    Listen up, everyone. Once the fight begins, any resisting monk with Mingjin or above should be dealt with ruthlessly!"

    "Kill!!" The collective shouting of forty men echoed across the field, shaking the heavens.

    Chen Yi, tagging along with the crowd, also raised his voice. He then followed Hu Jiu, his hall''s potential candidate, towards the city outskirts.

    As they were leaving the city, Hu Jiu looked back at Chen Yi with a hint of meaningful glance and signaled something to the two people on Chen Yi''s side.

    Half an hour later,

    Everyone arrived quickly outside of Lingyin Temple. Using the remaining daylight, they surrounded the front gate of the temple.

    Outside the temple gate, a burly monk stood with a horse-chopping saber in front of him. He glared at the crowd with a discerning look. Behind him, dozens of other bald-headed monks, each holding long rods or short knives, were prepared for the fight.

    In the ranks, a woman dressed in a nun''s robe stood tall. Her face was stern and somewhat anxious.

    Looking over, Chen Yi saw that the woman was Senior Sister Qi Ying,

    Chen Yi had not divulged his plans to anyone to make certain events more realistic.

    "Hahaha! If Abbot Yuan Guang is present, we offer you a deal. Hand over the rights to the medicinal herbs on Lingyin Mountain and give us the woman named Qi Ying. We will spare you.

    Otherwise, there is no need for Lingyin Temple to continue existing!"

    Second young master Xu Yuan stepped forward, laughing heartily.

    The martial monk with the stationary blade across the way grunted coldly at the words:

    "Why should the monk leader bother with a mere gang like yours?

    If you dare to take another step forward, I, Monk Guang Zhi, will guarantee you arrive with a life and leave without one!"

    Monk Guang Zhi shouted loudly, but in his heart, he wailed. After receiving the news yesterday, he had already sent someone to Bright Temple for help, but for some reason, no one had come.

    If a battle breaks out later and the two leaders of the gang or the Huajin offerings from the Xu family make a move, then Lingyin Temple may have to surrender.

    "Hahaha, you are Martial Monk Guangzhi, right? Your Crescent Moon Blade technique does have some style. If you''re willing to surrender today, my Xu family will give you a chance to return to secular life and make you our second-level offering. How about it?" The second young master replied with a smile.

    Guang Zhi did not speak upon hearing this, his face turned toward the direction of the foot of the mountain, his eyes filled with urgency.

    "Hahaha! You don''t have to wait any longer, monk. We''ve already caught the person you sent for help.

    Furthermore, Vice head Yang of the Ma ZiGang is guarding the entrance at the foot of the mountain.

    No Huajin experts will come to the rescue, give up your hope!

    You either submit or die. Choose!"

    Guang Zhi''s face changed unpredictably, and just as he was about to say he would surrender,

    Suddenly, a loud shout came from inside the temple:

    "Dare you petty thieves defile my Buddhist sacred land, die for Monk!!!"

    Along with the voice, a black cloth bag flew out from the wall.

    When it flew above the crowd,

    Bang!!

    The cloth bag suddenly exploded, a cloud of smoke rolled out, and poisonous gas enveloped the entire temple gate within a radius of several tens of meters in an instant.

    "Careful! The smoke is poisonous!"

    The next moment, someone in the Ma Zi Gang crowd shouted out, followed by the sounds of gang members falling to the ground lifelessly.

    "Kill! While they are weak! "

    The voice from inside the temple echoed again, followed by the release of arrows,

    With a soft sound, the wooden arrow that could be easily pulled out on a regular day, so easily penetrated the arm of a Mingjin martial artist from the Ma Zi Gang,

    This scene left everyone stunned.

    This action was like a spark that gave Martial Monk Guang Zhi an opportunity,

    Because he found that only the gang members of the Ma Zi Gang seemed to be affected by the smoke poison. The monks in Lingyin Temple were all fine.

    "Those who offend my temple, should all be suppressed! Kill!"

    Guang Zhi roared, raised his long blade, and threw himself at the gang members,

    As soon as he moved, the bunch of martial monks behind him charged out.

    Crack, the leading candidate for the Tie Qitang, Zhang Yunlai, faced a long blade from the late-stage Anjin, Guang Zhi, and he raised his blade to block greatly,

    As a result, both his head and the blade were chopped off and flew out.

    Everyone was stunned,

    Even though Zhang Yunlai only had Achieved Iron Skin, he couldn''t beat the opponent''s Anjin, but he absolutely wouldn''t die in one move, right?

    "Something is wrong, our vitality and blood are stagnant, and we can''t use our strength, there is a traitor in the gang!!

    Withdraw quickly!"

    Seeing all this, even Xu Yuan was dumbfounded,

    Even one of the seed candidates of the Four Vajra had died, it couldn''t be fake,

    But neither he nor the Xu family''s subordinates he brought with him had any problems!

    Although the Xu family was the upper house of the Ma Zi Gang, he could not just watch the gang members of the Ma Zi Gang being slaughtered on his first mission,

    Xu Yuan got anxious: "Go! Block these baldies with me!!

    Li Yongsheng, you guys figure out a way quickly!!"

    As an advanced Anjin, Xu Yuan was the first to rush up and block the long blade of Guang Zhi. The two instantly fought into a ball.

    The few hands he brought also rushed up, each finding a martial monk to block.

    However, Xu Yuan brought fewer people after all, and although the martial monks might not be very strong, they were more numerous,

    After only a few breaths, a martial monk broke into the crowd of the Ma Zi Gang and started killing.

    Suddenly, the Ma Zi Gang members in the formation were in chaos. They were powerless to resist. Those who met the monks with sticks at best broke their arms and legs,

    If they met the ones with blades, they were basically killed in one stroke,

    In this world, monks also kill people without mercy!

    At this time, Chen Yi mixed in the back of the crowd, he also pretended to be poisoned. While staggering, he pretended to urge the gang members to run quickly,

    Actually, he was watching which member of the Ma Zi Gang ran fast, and then quietly tripped him to the ground.

    This scene,

    Was seen by Hu Jiu, the seed candidate of the Steel Seven Hall,

    He yelled at Chen Yi:

    "Chen Qi, you traitor, you will not die a good death!!!"
