Pure Yin Body

Spring returns to the earth, warming the human world, Flood Dragon pearls and thunder shake the Nine Heavens.

The giant ship is magnificent, towering into the clouds, continuously emitting a dull roar, causing the Black River for hundreds of miles to shake violently.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Ten thousand drums sound in unison along the riverbank, the crowd is in a frenzy, and all the wealthy families and nobles are eagerly waiting, hoping to successfully purchase rare Spirit Fish upon the return of the Flood Dragon Ship.

As the saying goes, those who live near the mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near the sea live off the sea. There are tens of thousands of types of Black River Spirit Fish, and some extremely rare Spirit Fish are hard to come by even in a hundred years. Silver Moon Fish, for example, is considered common.

Of course, it's not just the Flood Dragon Ship; hundreds of thousands of ships follow behind, and countless fishermen are filled with excitement, hoping that the Flood Dragon Ship will display its great power, allowing them to get a share of the spoils.

"The outstanding disciples of the Inner Courtyard of the Tian Yuan Star Observation Manor have arrived!"

Countless gazes converge on the boarding team, as if looking up at immortals stepping towards the clouds. The cheers and shouts of the world make them appear even more awe-inspiring.

Chen Fusheng looks back at the dark mass of people, his fists clenching subconsciously. Once, he was so similar to them.

Looking back again, he has already rewritten his destiny with the Furnace Contemplation Method.

On the other hand, the approaching Flood Dragon Ship brings him a continuous pressure of wildness and antiquity, with a heavy sense of historical vicissitudes, and also a faint, terrifying aura of ferocity!

Chen Fusheng silently watches the huge Flood Dragon Ship, feeling an unspeakable oppression. This is an ant gazing at a dragon.

Even this kind of pressure makes his spine bend, and there is an extremely strong sense of the crisis of death in his heart, making his head buzz.

He even feels that the Flood Dragon is resurrected, transforming into a terrifying demon dragon roaring at him: Submit!

"Crack!"

Chen Fusheng's fists clench fiercely, and the magnificent words of the Ancient Prodigy who spent one hundred and eight years observing ten thousand beasts and writing the Furnace Contemplation Method flash in his mind.

"If I can't even withstand this kind of oppression, how am I worthy of retracing the old path of the prodigy?"

Chen Fusheng slowly raises his head, his eyes sharp, and ambition rises in his heart, as if he wants to step on this sky!

Chen Fusheng doesn't know why he has this arrogant mentality, but it's more like the pressure of the Flood Dragon Ship has awakened him.

"Hmm?"

At the top of the Flood Dragon Ship, Xu Changfeng stands with his hands behind his back, overlooking the disciples entering the stage.

A strange color flashes in his eyes as he watches the large group of disciples who are about to prostrate themselves on the ground, focusing on the handsome young man standing in the edge area with his head held high.

"This kid..."

The strange color in Xu Changfeng's eyes deepens. A handyman? He can actually withstand the pressure emitted by the Flood Dragon Ship. His mental will is quite remarkable.

On the path of cultivation, how important is belief? Without lofty aspirations, how can there be talk of the strong? Only absolute will can go further.

Xu Changfeng can't help but sigh. Ninety-nine percent of the Star Gazing Manor's disciples are greenhouse flowers, and have never experienced the baptism of blood and fire.

The awakened Chen Fusheng realizes something and whispers in his heart:

"Can I understand the previous experience as environmental suppression? No wonder the Inner Courtyard disciples break their heads to go to the Heavenly Star Manor. Dragons have dragon nests, ants have ant holes, and people have to go to higher places."

Chen Fusheng follows the disciples who wake up one after another to the deck of the Dragon Ship. The team suddenly becomes quiet, and the disciples turn around in unison.

Chen Fusheng discovers that the disciples boarding in the second wave are shockingly strong. Even from a distance, extraordinary Star Power presses down, definitely the top one hundred disciples of the Inner Courtyard.

Most of them are at the peak of the Other Shore Realm, and there are also leading figures at the Spirit Roaming level!

Chen Fusheng scanned the crowd and saw Mu Zhen, surprised that with her cultivation, she was actually walking at the very front of the group? Although she was a sixth-grade Heavenly Water Star, she had only just entered the Other Shore Realm.

"I heard that Miss Mu Zhen has gained the appreciation of the Heavenly Star Manor's master, and it seems she's been taken in as a disciple in name only. It seems that it's probably true now."

The deck was in an uproar. Mu Zhen had stepped into that ultimate dream place with half a foot?

Chen Fusheng was moved. Was his future senior sister about to become a big shot?

Many Star Masters who were pursuing her and trying to curry favor with her were disheartened. How could they catch up with such a gap?

"Who is that person? His aura is so powerful!"

More eyes were focused on the young man at the forefront of the group. He was wearing golden armor, and his pupils were like condensed blazing suns, with divine light bursting out between his openings and closings.

The young man wore a purple-gold crown and star-cloud boots, and he was extraordinarily heroic. He always looked ahead with a condescending attitude, and anyone who was watched by him would subconsciously lower their head.

"Spirit Roaming, high-level Star Official, and so young..."

This gaze that overlooked all living beings made Chen Fusheng's heart skip a beat. Within this young man's body, the scene of a Crimson Sun Star was reflected!

This was a manifestation unique to the Spirit Roaming Realm. Observing the stars and storing thoughts in the Qi Sea, when it was reflected, it could echo the stars in the sky, thereby erupting with terrifying combat power.

"My eyes have been opened today."

Wang Lie muttered, and the surrounding disciples were even more excited to discuss. This person was the grandson of the Tian Yuan Kingdom's ruler, Xuan Yuanchang, and also a disciple of the Heavenly Star Manor!

"So he is Xuan Yuanchang, a sixth-grade Crimson Sun Star, at the peak of the Spirit Roaming sequence. In the future, he might even be the Crown Grandson!"

The disciples exclaimed in admiration. For them, the Tian Yuan Kingdom was everything!

"It is said that Xuan Yuanchang came for Miss Mu Zhen. Is she going to marry into the royal family in the future?"

This sentence made more disciples feel uncomfortable. With Mu Zhen's appearance, background, and talent, it was only natural for Xuan Yuanchang to come and pursue her.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the roar of the Flood Dragon Ship gradually intensified, and the disciples on the deck dispersed to find their respective places.

The twelve-story Flood Dragon Ship had the lower six floors mainly for banquet halls, trading locations, housing, etc., while the upper floors were the residences of the top 100 disciples. The top two floors were the exclusive territory of the Star Officials. Everything seemed to be in order of rank.

Mu Zhen strolled leisurely to the tenth floor, and Xuan Yuanchang, who had been walking in front, turned around with a smile.

"Junior Sister Mu Zhen, I recently obtained a few royal treasures. In my opinion, in this Tian Yuan Star Observation Manor, only you are qualified to appreciate them. Let's go to the top floor and sit down and chat."

"Senior Brother, I have some unresolved issues in my cultivation recently. I plan to retreat for a few days, so I won't bother you." Mu Zhen politely refused.

Xuan Yuanchang looked at the black-skirted girl turning around, and his whole body could not help but exude a strong masculine aura. He domineeringly raised his hand and placed it on Mu Zhen's fair wrist.

Even through the sleeves, Mu Zhen was startled, having never been offended like this before.

"Why should Junior Sister be so polite with me? I can also give you guidance on matters of cultivation."

Xuan Yuanchang's personality was extremely strong. He lowered his head and stared at the stunning girl in front of him, his eyes full of aggression, completely different from his previous heroic temperament.

"Senior Brother, please respect yourself." Mu Zhen blushed and rebuked, pulling out her fair wrist and leaving angrily.

Xuan Yuanchang looked down at the departing graceful figure, put his hand to his nose and smelled it. "Heavenly Water Star, and a Pure Yin Body. Such a treasure is absolutely unique even in the Heavenly Star Manor."

He also regretted arriving a few days late. Mu Zhen was now considered half a disciple of Old Han, so it wasn't good to force the issue. However, being close to the water tower allows one to get the moon first, and there was plenty of time for training.

"Your Highness, who exactly is the adult from the Heavenly Sun Star Palace?"

Behind Xuan Yuanchang stood four great guardians, their bodies burly like four fierce beasts, their faces covered with bronze masks, filled with the aura of battlefield slaughter.

Someone couldn't help but ask. After all, while the Heavenly Sun Star Palace was indeed fierce and boundless, the Tian Yuan Kingdom's influence within the Heavenly Sun Star Palace was also extremely deep!

They were well aware of Xuan Yuanchang's iron-blooded methods. Would it be difficult to take down a little Other Shore Realm woman? Yet Xuan Yuanchang had his reservations.

In fact, Xuan Yuanchang's main reason for coming to the Tian Yuan Star Observation Manor wasn't to pursue Mu Zhen, but to replace Xu Changfeng and take control of this Star Gazing Manor, paving the way for his promotion to the Heavenly Sun Star Palace!

But he never expected that Mu Zhen was actually a Pure Yin Body. He couldn't be mistaken about this, it was a subtle perception originating from the Crimson Sun Star!

"Not very clear, but their status shouldn't be high. It's just that the secret treasure is about to open, so it's best not to create any more complications right now."

Xuan Yuanchang said indifferently. Old Han, whom he faced, was like a cloud of mist, somewhat unfathomable.

As for the manor lords of the various Star Gazing Manors under the Heavenly Sun Star Palace? Xu Changfeng and the others were all leaders in excavating the secret treasure. Xuan Yuanchang was eager to seize Xu Changfeng's position and plan for the future.

The sound of horns rang out, the Flood Dragon Ship sailed away, followed by hundreds of thousands of fishing boats, creating a grand spectacle.

On the first floor kitchen, a group of Other Shore Realm Star Masters were working enthusiastically, which would be enough to shock ordinary people on a normal day.

According to custom, the Ten Thousand Fish Banquet would be held in the next few days, and the preliminary preparations were busy, with all kinds of side dishes, strange and exotic seasonings... Of course, the most important was the inner kitchen.

The three deputy chefs and one head chef of the Inner Courtyard's dining hall each led a handyman, all busy inside the inner kitchen.

Busy, you say... Chen Fusheng looked at the dazzling array of medicinal herb cabinets, his stomach growling, wishing he could take them all.

They were also different from the handymen outside, because their work was for the Star Officials, and the ingredients they touched were extremely precious.

"Where did this little brother come from? Haven't seen you before." Several burly handymen curiously looked at Chen Fusheng.

Compared to them, Chen Fusheng was too delicate. He thought Wang Dapang's physique was good enough, but these young handymen all weighed five or six hundred pounds...

"Greetings, brothers, I am Master Wang's cousin, my name is Chen Fusheng."

Chen Fusheng came forward to pay his respects one after another. The energy behind these connected individuals was very high, and their main responsibility was to prepare dishes for the master chef.

"Oh, so you're Master Wang's brother. I say, Fusheng, you're too thin."

A big, dark fatty patted his round belly, casually opened a medicine cabinet, and took out a hundred-year-old white jade ginseng.

He gave Chen Fusheng a meaningful look, and then tore off ten or so ginseng whiskers.

Chen Fusheng was stunned. What was this? He dared to touch the food specially for the Star Officials?

The big, dark fatty didn't eat it, but handed it to Chen Fusheng with some seriousness.

Chen Fusheng was silent, noticing that several fatties around him were watching him intently. He had a flash of inspiration, picked it up, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.

"Fusheng, you can't eat it like that, it's too spicy. Here, have a sip of Hundred Flower Dew!" The black fatty excitedly went straight to the white jade water tank in the corner, opened the seal, and the fragrance of hundreds of flowers overflowed.

Chen Fusheng's eyes widened. Hundred Flower Dew needed to collect the dew from various spirit herbs and blend them together. He had only seen this thing in books, but he didn't expect that it was not only directly supplied to the Star Officials, but there was also a whole tank of it.

"Come on, Fusheng!" The juice scooped up by the black fatty with a jade spoon shimmered with colorful light, and the fragrance it emitted was even more intoxicating.

Having eaten the ginseng, what's a little Hundred Flower Dew? Chen Fusheng drained it in one gulp, the fragrant aroma unlike anything he'd ever tasted.

The big, dark fellows were extremely satisfied. After eating these things, he was one of them!

Seeing the fourth fatty drain his cup, Chen Fusheng finally understood why they were so fat. The nourishing effects of these medicinal ingredients were too strong; without a corresponding physique, how could one refine them easily?

"Cough, cough..."

A coughing sound came, and the four fatties and one skinny one quickly returned to their positions, their faces serious as they inventoried the medicinal ingredients, working meticulously.

Several even fatter master chefs walked in one after another. Wang Dapang, standing among them, could only be called Little Fatty Wang. He glanced at Chen Fusheng and then followed the others to the innermost room to take charge of the cooking.

So, being a Spirit Chef is the ultimate cushy job...

No wonder everyone wants to become a Star Official. Spirit Chefs eat the scraps, while they eat the top-grade dishes.

Chen Fusheng gained some insight. Of course, as their cultivation increased, ordinary medicinal ingredients would become almost useless to them, unless they were thousand-year-old medicines, rare treasures, or stellar medicines.

Suddenly, a guard wearing a bronze mask strode in.

The big, dark fatty's face turned cold. Did he not know how to knock?

But when he saw the mask the guard wore, as well as the black-gold heavy armor, he sneered inwardly. No wonder he was so arrogant; he was a member of the Tian Yuan Kingdom's Imperial Guard, one of Xuan Yuanchang's personal attendants.

Chen Fusheng sensed a terrifying, crude fluctuation emanating from the black-gold heavy armor worn by the guard, which made his tall physique resemble an upright demon beast.

"What do you need?" the big, dark fatty asked. His uncle was the head chef of the food mansion, a high-ranking Star Official, so what was there to fear from a mere guard?

The heavily armored guard took out a package and indifferently instructed, "Use the ingredients inside to make two dishes, one for His Highness and one for Miss Mu Zhen."

After speaking, he surveyed the surrounding medicine cabinets. "Add as many of the best medicinal ingredients as you can. This is a rare opportunity for your Tian Yuan Star Observation Manor to show your stuff, so be smart about it."

"Of course, of course. His Highness's affairs must not be delayed."

Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this. The big, dark fatty quickly called out, "Quick, prepare five-hundred-year-old medicines and let His Highness taste the craftsmanship of our Tian Yuan Star Observation Manor's Spirit Chefs. I say, Fusheng, don't just stand there like an idiot. Quickly take the commander to the inner room to sample some spirit tea."

"There's no need for you all to be so polite to me," the guard said, but he followed Chen Fusheng into the inner room without hesitation.
