Bewitching Hearts

"Ah..." The two of them were both stunned. Although their cultivation levels were low, they were clear about one thing: revealing such a treasure to the public would likely cause them enormous trouble.

"Boss, you must think this over carefully!" Fu Chun cupped his hands and earnestly advised, "This Restriction Breaking Pill is really too miraculous. Once outsiders find out, I'm afraid cultivators from all over the world will flock to snatch it. Just like Yue Qianchou, it was precisely because of his two treasured swords that he attracted cultivators from various countries to chase and plunder him."

"Yes, yes!" Qin Jiaxing nodded repeatedly and said very sincerely, "Boss, this kind of thing really can't be leaked. Such a valuable treasure could really bring about a fatal disaster."

"Having too many lice makes you less itchy." Yue Qianchou chuckled self-deprecatingly, waved to the two clueless people, and said, "Just do as I say, and nothing will happen."

The two exchanged a glance, adopting an attentive expression. After all, they had just agreed to obey orders, and any further nagging would be seen as disobedience. Besides, they now had complete faith in their leader. Who in the world could raise Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator's cultivation to the Tribulation Transcendence stage in just one day?

They didn't know if others possessed this ability, but they had never heard of it before. Such miraculous skills, coupled with formidable combat prowess and a mysterious background, filled the two with both fear and respect.

Yue Qianchou was quite satisfied with their performance and slowly said, "If anyone asks you about your improved cultivation, you can reveal everything about the Restriction Breaking Pill. Just say that I plan to refine a large quantity and will sell it to cultivators all over the world on the day of the 'Treasure Gathering Basin Convention'. Of course, there are some things that can't be revealed entirely..."

He explained to the two men in detail what could be said and what couldn't be said. After understanding, the two looked at each other, wondering what their boss was up to, and didn't dare to ask too many questions, agreeing to do as he said.

Just then, the room suddenly darkened, and faint rumbles of thunder could be heard in the sky outside. Yue Qianchou's expression changed slightly. He glanced at the two of them, then quickly opened the door and went out.

The six women of Yan Lan were looking up in the courtyard when they saw Yue Qianchou come out. They all bowed and called him "Master".

Yue Qianchou waved to them and looked up at the sky. He saw dark clouds churning overhead, with lightning constantly flashing within them. The lightning snakes appeared and disappeared among the clouds, especially overhead, where the clouds were as black as ink and lightning bolts flashed rapidly.

The six women looked at each other. They had seen this phenomenon many times before, even at the Misty Rain Tower. Yan Lan asked in surprise, "It's a tribulation cloud! Could it be that someone in this Ghost Manor is about to undergo tribulation?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiaxing and Fu Chun, who had followed him out, both changed their expressions. They knew, of course, who was about to undergo tribulation. The former asked somewhat fearfully, "Boss, what should we do?" Neither of them had ever experienced or witnessed such a scene before, so they were somewhat frightened and inevitably sought help from their boss.

"There's nothing to be afraid of in the early Tribulation stage." Yue Qianchou had seen many people undergoing tribulation in Utopia and was already used to it. There was really nothing to fear in the early Tribulation stage. Even when he himself underwent tribulation, although he was struck by lightning and knocked unconscious, he just slept it off and got through it. It was nothing special!

"Let's go, into the mountains, there's plenty of space there." Yue Qianchou dashed towards the back of the mountain, and the two of them, without hesitation, quickly followed in mid-air...

Witnessing Qin Jiaxing and Fu Chun actually being able to fly, and considering what the three had just said, the six women were so shocked their jaws dropped. They stood there, mouths agape. After a long while, Yan Xia stammered, "Could it be... could it be that Fu Chun and Qin Jiaxing are undergoing tribulation? This... how is this possible?"

Not only the six of them, but many people in the Ghost Manor were also looking up at the sky, wondering who was about to undergo tribulation. When they suddenly spotted Qin Jiaxing and Fu Chun flying through the air, they rubbed their eyes, thinking they were seeing things. Only after asking those around them did they realize it was very likely true—how could that be?

Many people took to the air, eager to follow and see what was going on...

Over the next few days, Fu Chun and Qin Jiaxing, whose cultivation had reached the early Tribulation stage, lived a life of unbridled comfort. The two of them strutted around the Ghost Manor with their heads held high, accepting the flattery of the various Rogue Cultivator. Although they were visiting various places to complete the task assigned by their leader, the feeling of being fawned over and treated as superior by everyone did make the two of them a little conceited, and they lost sight of who they were.

Yue Qianchou couldn't stand it any longer. What a disgrace! He naturally had to pour some cold water on them, to bring them to their senses. He gave them a stern warning... You two have only reached the early Tribulation stage; your true strength is far from that. If some powerful Nascent Soul Early Stage dislikes you, they could easily kill you. Don't get too arrogant!

Yue Qianchou's words were not an exaggeration. How could a cultivator who raised their cultivation to the early Tribulation stage in a single day compare to someone who had cultivated diligently for a hundred or even several hundred years at the early Tribulation stage? Leaving aside the mysteries of their Method Formula, their actual combat abilities were worlds apart. Killing a slightly Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator would be no problem at all.

The level of one's cultivation does not necessarily determine their strength; this is not just a saying, but something Yue Qianchou understands deeply. Because he understands this, he forces the team members in Utopia to relentlessly train to improve their cultivation levels. This is all to minimize casualties in actual combat.

After being scolded, the two guys realized that their boss was right, and once they were more level-headed, they behaved themselves much better.

Meanwhile, the Ruthless Judge Niu Youde has been patrolling Ghost Manor daily these past few days. At the same time, Yue Qianchou, the butcher of the Cultivation World, has been frequently spotted around the Misty Forest ...

The secret to entering and exiting the Misty Forest! Many cultivators were drawn to it, but a butcher is a butcher; those unlucky enough to encounter him rarely escaped alive. And when a large force arrived, everyone could only watch helplessly as he fled into the deep Misty Forest, completely powerless to stop him.

As soon as everyone relaxed, this guy got excited again, sneaking out to commit crimes without anyone noticing. He killed a few here and a few there, making those forces that had suffered losses wish they could tear him apart.

However, this guy was slippery as an eel, making him very difficult to catch. At its peak, more than fifty late Tribulation Transcendence stage experts trapped him in a valley, but in the end, no one could figure out what had happened. They searched high and low but couldn't find him; he still managed to escape.

He turned around and appeared elsewhere, charging into a group of the Nascent Soul Realm and slaughtering them, killing nearly a hundred in one go. By the time the fifty-odd late Tribulation Transcendence stage experts arrived to provide support, he had already run away.

The cultivators from various countries were filled with hatred! They looked up at the heavens speechlessly! Their teeth were practically ground to powder, and they were just short of tears. So many experts couldn't capture an early Tribulation stage cultivator, and he even appeared right under their noses frequently. They had completely lost face.

Yue Qianchou's strategy was very effective against these people. In short: harass when the enemy is tired, retreat when the enemy is strong. If the enemy chases, run; and if anyone is careless, deal with them severely!

Just as Yue Qianchou was causing quite a stir among the various kingdoms, a Ruthless Judge Niu Youde suddenly appeared in the Ghost Manor in the Kingdom of the Jinshan Kingdom. This man's arrival somewhat stole the limelight from the butcher Yue Qianchou, and the experts from various kingdoms temporarily set aside their dealings with Yue Qianchou, all their eyes fixed on this place...

While ordinary cultivators in the Cultivation World didn't know who the one-armed old man of the Ghost Manor was, the higher-ups among cultivators from various countries did. The fact that Niu Youde could shatter the flying sword released by the one-armed old man with a single palm strike, reducing it to dust, was utterly unbelievable to them. When did such a master emerge in the Cultivation World?!

What shocked them the most was that Niu Youde had actually managed to forcibly raise the cultivation levels of two Foundation Establishment Realm Rogue Cultivator to the early Tribulation stage within a single day, and many people had witnessed it... This was simply too unbelievable.

Restriction Breaking Pill! Restriction Breaking Pill! Restriction Breaking Pill!

What a distant word! So distant that it's almost forgotten. Legend has it that during the High Antiquity chaos, some extraordinary individuals, in order to gain the upper hand in battle, forged an extremely powerful elixir that could forcibly elevate the cultivation level of their subordinates to the Tribulation Transcendence stage in a short period of time.

This is just a legend. No one knows what really happened. They have only vaguely heard that this kind of elixir is called the Restriction Breaking Pill.

Niu Youde can actually refine the Restriction Breaking Pill! It is said that he can refine it in large quantities and plans to sell it at the 'Treasure Gathering Basin Convention' in the future... This news is even more shocking than the flying sword that he shattered the one-armed old ghost.

Consider this: which of the various kingdoms' Spirit Transformation stage experts doesn't have a few hundred or even a thousand cultivators under their command? Those with greater power might even have tens of thousands. And some, like Yin Baikang's World Commerce Association, command nearly a hundred thousand cultivators...

The World Commerce Association has over 100,000 disciples! While their quality varies, most are of low cultivation level. But what if they had Restriction Breaking Pill? 100,000 Tribulation Transcendence stage experts! My god! Just thinking about it makes one's blood boil...

The headquarters of the World Commerce Association, the Treasure Gathering Basin, the God of Wealth Peak!

On the God of Wealth Peak, the wind and clouds surged, causing people's clothes to flutter wildly. Just like the three people's mood at that moment, they were unable to remain calm.

Yin Baikang, clad in a black robe, stood atop the mountain, his robes billowing in the strong wind, yet he remained motionless, his eyes fixed on the direction of the Jinshan Kingdom like those of a hawk. However, beneath his slightly gaunt face, the muscles were clearly twitching, indicating that his inner state was not as calm as it appeared.

Sikong Jue and Jing Yuankong stood silently behind their master...

"Restriction Breaking Pill!" Sikong Jue's eyes flashed with a sharp light. As Yin Baikang's chief disciple, he had followed his master the longest and was also his master's most trusted disciple. Some things were secrets between the two of them...

"Sikong, is the news reliable?" Yin Baikang asked without turning his head.

Sikong Jue replied respectfully, "We have planted our spies in the Ghost Manor. I witnessed it with my own eyes, so there should be no mistake."

Yin Baikang nodded slightly with his back to the two men, his voice still calm, and said, "Sikong, put everything else aside for now. Select enough capable men and personally go to the Jinshan Kingdom..."
