Chuan Family Ancestor Worship!

Inside Ghoul Blood Hall.

For some reason.

A strange fragrance suddenly filled the air.

This was clearly the phenomenon that accompanied the successful refinement of a high-grade spirit pill.

The crowd was baffled and began speculating over who had refined such a high-grade spirit pill.

However.

Someone's expression tightened.

They immediately left Ghoul Blood Hall.

Then.

They returned to the Chuan Family.

Zhang Qing was hardly the only person the Chuan Family had planted in Ghoul Blood Hall.

"Reporting to the Vice Hall Master," the man said respectfully.

"Just now, a strange fragrance spread through Ghoul Blood Hall. This is the phenomenon of a high-grade spirit pill being successfully refined."

Chuan Jia's eyes suddenly lit up.

An unimaginable brilliance burst from them.

"Good!"

That was the only word he said.

Then, carrying his little booklet, he went to the secret door in the back mountain of First-grade Hall, activated the mechanism, and entered.

Yang Man is merely an ordinary apothecary, Chuan Jia thought.

When it comes to refining spirit pills, she is far inferior to me.

She merely possesses a few special pill formulas.

Today, you will have no more secrets from me.

He glanced at the booklet in his hand.

It recorded every rare spirit medicine Yang Man had requested since arriving in Zi City.

Chuan Jia had absolute confidence.

He could reconstruct the Blood Transformation Pill formula from those spirit medicines.

In truth, I had already guessed at the Blood Transformation Pill formula when she requested Pagoda Tree Ghoul Heart Blood.

Now that it has been verified, the Blood Transformation Pill formula is hidden within these ingredients. It really can be refined.

Then let me show you the talent of Zi City's number one alchemist!

Chuan Jia was very confident.

But he was not boasting.

He truly was Zi City's number one alchemist.

And the Blood Transformation Pill was extremely important.

If the Chuan Family ancestor wanted to break through the limit of the Sunrise Realm, he absolutely needed the Blood Transformation Pill's assistance.

Back then.

After Yang Man joined Razor, the Chuan Family had not reacted.

They only regretted it bitterly after learning that she possessed the Blood Transformation Pill formula.

Fortunately, after digging for so many years.

They had finally unearthed the Blood Transformation Pill formula.

Today.

The Chuan Family could worship their ancestors!

As for the other families...

Chuan Jia understood it as clearly as a mirror.

The other families had been involved with the Pagoda Tree Ghoul's blood.

They seemed to have made preparations.

They wanted to lure out the ancestor and then destroy the Chuan Family.

Heh heh.

Who knew where they got such confidence from.

Once the ancestor broke through.

Wouldn't Zi City need a new City Lord Mansion?

Chuan Jia was extremely excited at this moment.

He hurried off to test the pill formula.

As for Zhang Qing...

Who was that?

Just an ant. Once everything had settled, he could be dealt with then.

Inside Razor's inner hall.

Yu Huashui sat in the seat of honor.

If Zhang Qing had been present, he would have recognized him as the Yu Family Starflash Realm expert who had overseen the wilderness net-closing operation.

A big shot with as much as 2,850 blood.

"That Chuan Family fellow should have gotten the pill formula by now, right?" Yu Huashui said.

Yu An nodded.

"Yang Man has kept her word. She revealed the pill formula."

"Hmph, does that old thing really think he can break through the Sunrise Realm?" Yu Huashui snorted.

"And then swallow up all of Zi City? What a fool's dream!"

"What did the Tie Family say?"

Yu An paused before answering.

"The Tie Family is ready."

"It's just... are we really giving the Great Ghoul behind the Pagoda Tree Ghoul over ten thousand cultivators to devour?"

Yu Huashui glanced at Yu An.

With a sigh, he said.

"Yu An, the Dark Realm is cruel."

"Besides, can an agreement with a Specter even count as an agreement?"

"When the time comes, our ancestor will kill it too!"

Yu An raised her head in astonishment and cried out.

"Ah!!"

Then.

Her mood immediately improved.

That was right. What kind of agreement could one have with a Specter?

As long as they lured out that old man from the Chuan Family.

When the time came.

They would take down both of them together!

"Enough, go prepare," Yu Huashui said.

"Yes!"

Yu An left.

Watching her departing back.

Yu Huashui picked up his teacup and took a sip.

People!

They would dare do anything to break through their realm!

Raising Specters?

The annihilation of Phoenix Imperial City was right before their eyes.

Old thing, you have crossed the line!

The Chuan Family was about to worship its ancestors!

This news shook all of Zi City.

The Chuan Family had a tradition of ancestor worship.

But strangely, the timing of each ceremony was different.

However.

Every ceremony was exceptionally grand.

It would bring a citywide celebration to Zi City.

Because the Chuan Family needed far too many materials and laborers for its ancestor worship.

At such times, the Chuan Family would scatter vast amounts of gold, and everyone in Zi City would get a share.

And this time, the Chuan Family's ancestor worship.

Was even grander in scale.

Chuan Family members filled the streets, frantically purchasing goods.

It was practically a sweep.

At the same time.

They recruited huge numbers of laborers to begin constructing the ancestor-worship platform.

The Chuan Family's ancestor worship was always extravagant.

The platform alone needed to be dozens of meters high.

It had to be erected in a short time through the combined labor of countless people.

At this moment.

All of An City had grown busy because of the Chuan Family's ancestor worship.

Ordinary people busied themselves making money.

Those who knew some of the inside story, meanwhile, were considering how to get a slice of the pie.

Yang Man's small courtyard, Ghoul Blood Hall.

Zhang Qing sat cross-legged on the ground.

He began dumping points into his attributes.

Fifty-two points.

It was enough to push him to the ninth stage of Glimmer.

Although it would attract too much attention.

Still.

Things had already become serious.

Zhang Qing had more or less sorted out the threads surrounding the Chuan Family.

Yang Man, Yu An, the Tie Family, and even the Pagoda Tree Ghoul had all gotten involved.

These forces had joined hands.

To set up the Chuan Family.

The Chuan Family was practically being tricked to death.

And his identity was that of a Chuan Family contracted guard.

Although he was hiding on Yang Man's side, the flames would not reach him for the time being.

But would there be a reckoning later?

He needed strength!

If only he could charge straight into the Candlelight Realm.

Wait...

Had he forgotten something?

Razor had benefits, after all!

So!

Zhang Qing's eyes abruptly opened.

He headed straight to the main hall of Razor's inner hall and exchanged his Military Merit for spirit pills.

Sure enough.

Yu An had not made him an empty promise.

He received two spirit pills and two gold coins.

After devouring them.

His Attribute Points rose to fifty-eight.

After calculating it.

Reaching the Candlelight Realm would not be a problem.

It was just...

Without advancing his Cultivation Technique, his Candlelight Realm would be very weak.

He would worry about that later.

Let's reach the Candlelight Realm first.

That damned Pagoda Tree Ghoul—if it hadn't sold its heart's blood,

he could have kept milking it for a while longer.

Back in Yang Man's small courtyard, Zhang Qing sat cross-legged.

Add points!

51 points instantly became 7!

He added 49 points to Constitution and 2 points to Intelligence.

In one go, he spent them all.

Congratulations, you have met the requirements to break through. Break through?

"Break through!"

Breakthrough successful. You have successfully advanced to the first tier of the Candlelight Realm!

Reward obtained: Constitution +1!

(Friendly reminder: Your Cultivation Technique level is insufficient. Your combat power is assessed as below the Candlelight Realm!)

Heh heh.

I know that!
