"This is a true spirit beast!"

Liao Cao rode it and charged over from outside the field of vision like the wind, his speed far beyond that of an ordinary steed.

Its coat was glossy, its physique robust, and a streak of red mane on its head was incredibly striking.

Yang Genshuo glanced at the Crimson Blood Horse's stats. Liao Cao had already met up with Yang Shi.

It was the first time Yang Shi had seen Liao Cao in such a hurry; he was usually always calm and steady.

"Shopkeeper Liao, what business brings you to my estate so late at night?"

Liao Cao dismounted, his face covered in sweat.

"Brother Yang Shi, you are in grave danger!"

"Huh? How so?"

"Just now, I received news from the Jade Dragon County headquarters of Pinnacle Pavilion. Three days ago, a Half-step Innate Swordsman from the Ge family was looking for the maker of the Grain-abstinence Biscuit. Now, he is heading towards Qinglong County."

Yang Shi's eyebrows shot up. Before he could speak, Huzi behind him raised his whip and cracked it on the ground, shouting angrily:

"You treacherous villain, betraying my Yang family! See if I don't whip you to death today!"

Yang Shi reached out and stopped Huzi.

"Don't be rash. Pinnacle Pavilion has always had a good reputation in the jianghu. Pinnacle does not inquire about origins, and payments are made promptly. Boss Liao, can you give me an explanation?"

"Alas," Liao Cao sighed, "that is indeed the case in the jianghu, but what if he is not from the jianghu?"

"The Ge family? Could it be..."

"The Jade Dragon Immortal Clan, the Spirit Plant Ge Family."

"I see." Yang Shi no longer blamed Liao Cao, because he knew Pinnacle Pavilion was merely a mortal force. It was impossible for them to stand against an immortal cultivation family for his sake.

Shopkeeper Liao cupped his fists: "Although my Pinnacle Pavilion cannot help Brother Yang keep secrets, the headquarters sent a spirit beast that travels a thousand miles a day, the Crimson Blood Horse, to specifically deliver a message to me, helping Brother Yang avoid disaster! This is the limit of what my Pinnacle Pavilion can do."

"At this time, that Half-step Innate Swordsman is still on his way, expected to arrive in about two days. If you escape now, there's still time. Please pack your belongings and belongings quickly and leave here!"

Shopkeeper Liao sincerely advised Yang Shi with guilt.

Yang Shi took a deep breath, quickly processing the sudden news.

"Then what about our Board Game Tea House."

At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai also walked out of her boudoir, her face pale. This was the Heart's Blood she and Yang Shi had jointly built. She had personally cleaned every corner, meticulously wiped every card. She had even carved the Sanguosha preparation zone on every table.

Huzi looked at the vast manor. This was the first place he had found a home after so many years of wandering. He clenched his fists tightly.

"Brother Shi, I want to fight their Ge family to the death! No one will have an easy time!"

Shopkeeper Liao said anxiously, "Don't act on impulse. If the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn!"

Yang Shi was thinking. Thinking.

Yang Genshuo was also thinking.

"Unforeseen disaster? No. An innocent man is guilty when he possesses wealth. Selling items that do not belong to that era will surely cause a Butterfly Effect. I just didn't expect this Compressed Biscuit to be coveted by a cultivation family."

"Spirit Rice, spirit fruits, they can grow anything, which is much better than this thing. Eating too much of this stuff will only make you choke. Spirit Food can strengthen the body and replenish spiritual energy."

"So strange."

He racked his brain but couldn't figure out what attraction this Compressed Biscuit held for a spirit plant cultivation family.

But at this moment, he and Yang Shi had a consensus: the other party would absolutely not come with good intentions!

It was like a Modern Army encountering a backward tribe. They wouldn't sit down and negotiate trade with the Chieftain, but would kill those who didn't obey them and directly become the masters of the tribe.

Without the ability to resist, it would only bring Plunder.

"How can we Break the Situation?"

Yang Genshuo's brain spun rapidly.

As Yang Shi thought, he frequently looked up at the sky. The familiar Golden Hand and text of the Old Ancestor had not appeared.

It seemed he had to rely on himself. Yang Shi didn't know if the Old Ancestor was in seclusion or if he was deliberately testing him.

The Thirty-Six Stratagems were being calculated in his mind.

"Shopkeeper Liao, could you find me an Innate Grandmaster? I am willing to pay a large sum of Money to ask him to deal with this swordsman."

The third stratagem of the Thirty-Six Stratagems - Kill with a Borrowed Knife.

Liao Cao shook his head.

"Setting aside whether I can find an Innate Grandmaster for you, our Qingshi County hasn't had an Innate Grandmaster in many years. Those devoted to martial arts have all gone to Jade Dragon County to apprentice."

"What about before? Qinglong County has over a hundred thousand people in the surrounding villages, and not a single one achieved the Innate Grandmaster realm?"

"Before. Five years ago, there was an Innate Grandmaster named Liu Wuhen. He was from Qingshi County. After achieving great martial arts, he returned to establish a sect and prepare to take disciples to pass on his mantle. But later, his daughter suddenly fell gravely ill. After failing to find a doctor, he disappeared. It's said he went to find an Immortal Medicine for his daughter, and his whereabouts are unknown to this day."

Hearing this, Yang Shi was slightly disappointed.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Shi seemed to have a New Strategy.

"Shopkeeper Liao, I have two questions for you."

"Speak! I will Say Everything!"

"First, do you know who makes the Grain-abstinence Biscuits in Jade Dragon County's Pinnacle Pavilion?"

"I don't know. They only know it was passed down from our Qingshi County's Treasure Pavilion."

"Then this swordsman will definitely find you first before finding me, right?"

"Yes, but I can't help you conceal it. As soon as he comes, I must tell him your location, otherwise my Family will be in trouble. You should leave now and go somewhere I don't know. The world is vast, as long as you stop selling those Grain-abstinence Biscuits, that Ge family immortal clan might not be able to find you."

"Very well. Second question: this Half-step Innate, what is their strength?"

"Half-step Innate, Body Forging perfected, Internal Energy circulates throughout the body, Body and Qi achieving Unity of Realm, only lacking one final surge of Innate True Qi to enter the Innate Grandmaster realm."

"How many times stronger is their physical ability than my Body Forging Stage 5?"

"Body Forging Stage 10. The first five stages are Body Forging, the latter five are Qi Cultivation. The physique of a Half-step Innate realm is only about twice as strong as Stage 5, but with the flow of Internal Energy, supplemented by martial arts, they can unleash 10 times the power of a Body Forging Stage 5."

"Wait for me for a moment."

After listening, Yang Shi had a Bold Idea brewing. He quickly walked towards the ancestral hall.

After a while, Yang Shi strode out. He looked at Liao Cao, his Gaze Sharp as a Sword.

"Shopkeeper Liao, that day in the teahouse you asked Shi who could be called a Hero in Qingshi County, and Shi said he didn't know. How did you respond?"

Liao Cao pondered for a moment and blurted out.

"The so-called Hero, is Ambitious, Resourceful, possesses a Cosmic Ambition, and a World-Devouring Ambition. Today, the Heroes of Qingshi County are only Lord Shi and myself."

"Hahahaha~ Good! Then today, I ask Brother Liao, do you want to be that Hero with Shi?"

"This is absurd! What I said that day was from learning Storytelling, how can it be taken seriously! How can you and I possibly confront that Half-step Innate swordsman?"

"I have a plan that can Execute that Half-step Innate swordsman! It requires Brother Liao to Enter the Game."

Liao Cao gasped, not knowing what confidence Yang Shi had to dare speak of executing a half-step Xiantian Martial Artist.

"Even if you can execute that swordsman, how can you contend against the Ge Family Immortal Clan? Young Brother Yang, you and I are ultimately just mortals! Let's flee!"

"Do you really think my Yang Family is a mortal family?" Yang Shi shouted.

He spread his hands, and spiritual energy surged in the sky, forming a Spirit Cloud above their heads.

Splash~

Under Liao Cao's astonished gaze, spiritual rain descended gracefully.

The fresh spiritual rain washed away the Worldly Air from their bodies.

"Immortal Spell!?" Liao Cao said in disbelief.

"Brother Liao, will you... take hold of my Yang Family Immortal Fate?"

"Immortal Fate?"

Liao Cao's heart was Pounding, his hands trembled, his face flushed red, and he became utterly excited.

Immortal Fate, an opportunity many people wouldn't encounter in a lifetime!

The Hundred Years of Rise and Fall of the Liao Family rested on his Between a Thought!

Thinking again of those magical Grain-abstinence Biscuits, Alps Candy, and Chocolate, who else but an immortal could produce such things?

"Liao Cao. Is willing to Enter the Game!"

Yang Shi and Yang Genshuo in front of the screen both smiled.

The Seventh Stratagem of the Thirty-Six Stratagems—Create Something from Nothing.
