Ch. 827Primary Bloodline Gene Mutation Potion

Yang Ling forced Zhang Taiyuan to transfer him 20,000 Trade Points, then let the other Third-Rank Grandmasters leave the Thundercloud Pool without continuing the Black Market trading. A suspicious seller privately revealed a red-gold potion called the Primary Bloodline Gene Mutation Potion, which Yang Ling suspected could trigger another gene mutation.

  • Zhang Taiyuan tried to bargain by mentioning his boss and the Immortal Network, but Yang Ling demanded a transfer of 20,000 Trade Points instead.

Ch. 828Knock the Price Down Yourself

Yang Ling negotiated with a wary man to buy a Primary Bloodline Gene Mutation Potion, which could raise all three attributes and might exceed the Third-Rank limit. After hearing its risks and bargaining the price down, Yang Ling completed the purchase for one hundred and fifty thousand Trade Points.

  • Yang Ling learned that the potion could trigger another gene mutation, but it carried risks including physical changes, failure, and death.

Ch. 829Stormcloud Arena Entry Ticket

Yang Ling returned to the Black Market trades, bought a Stormcloud Arena entry ticket, and learned that his Qi and Blood far exceeded what most Third-Rank Grandmasters possessed. When a War God Crescent Moon Blade appeared, he could meet its attributes except for its level requirement, and Kuang Tu offered to sell him Experience Gift Packs.

  • Yang Ling allowed Kuang Tu to resume the Black Market trading after the other Grandmasters saw that no one was being robbed.
  • Kuang Tu offered a Stormcloud Arena Entry Ticket for 5,000 Trade Points, and Yang Ling bought it.

  • Yang Ling learned that Gui He had 110,000 Qi and Blood and realized his own 460,000 put him far above ordinary Grandmasters.
  • Yang Ling admitted he was interested in the blade but lacked its level requirement, and Kuang Tu offered him Experience Gift Packs.

Ch. 830I'll buy however many you have

Ch. 831The value of Thunder Crystals

Yang Ling bought rare goods and all 150 Counterfeit Tyrant Blood Pills at Kuang Tu’s Black Market, while Zhang Taiyuan reconsidered his suspicions about him. After the market closed, Kuang Tu invited the remaining Grandmasters to trade or fish for Thunder Crystals, which he would buy for 200 Trade Points per gram.

Ch. 832How Much for This Junk?

Yang Ling arranged for Kuang Tu to procure Counterfeit Tyrant Blood Pills and beginner equipment from other games, seeing a chance to profit by recycling gear that was considered junk there. He ordered test batches of Flying Eagle and Iron Bear Sets, along with treasure-hiding talismans, and planned to settle everything after the Thundercloud Pool mission.

  • Gui He and Huo Si jumped into Thundercloud Pool to search for raw Thunder Crystals, while Yang Ling sent his Five White Bone Warriors underground to search cautiously around threatening flashes of lightning.

Ch. 833Boss, save us!

As the Nine-Star Thundercloud Pool quest neared its end, Yang Ling learned that Thunder Crystals were rare, single-use materials for resisting Thunder Tribulations.

  • Yang Ling and Kuang Tu discussed the Players’ poor Thunder Crystal hauls, the crystals’ value, and their use in equipment against Thunder Tribulations.

  • Ding Zong confronted Yang Ling but held back from attacking because the Grandmaster Network punished assaults in its plaza.
  • Yang Ling mocked Ding Zong until Ding Zhan arrived with Zhang Taiyuan and criticized Ding Zong for damaging the Ding Clan Pill Group's reputation.

  • Yang Ling said the Ding Clan could buy whatever he chose to sell, on whatever terms he set, and declared that he feared nothing.

Ch. 836Cultivation Space

  • Yang Ling reasoned that Curse Techniques were restricted to missions and warned Ding Zhan that he had three days to lift the Blacklist Order.

Yang Ling used pills and experience gift packs to strengthen himself before drinking a Primary Bloodline Gene Mutation Potion. The mutation left him with unbearable itching and hundreds of tiny hands scratching his body, while his attributes had not yet changed.

  • Yang Ling took a hundred Counterfeit Tyrant Blood Pills, and his strength increased from 6,400 to 6,900 as his divine qilin martial way furnace suppressed their toxins.
  • Yang Ling ate the red, orange, and yellow Experience Gift Packs, raising his level from 434 to 532 and gaining 98 free attribute points.

  • Yang Ling suppressed the abnormal hands and second head that appeared during the potion’s mutation, then suspected the seller had passed off an unfinished or failed product.
  • Yang Ling drove his divine qilin martial way furnace and flesh regeneration power to control the mutation while inspecting his body for further changes.

Yang Ling awakened the Forest of All Phenomena Dharma Eye, recovered from its debilitating side effect, and used Kuang Tu to buy pills, talismans, and equipment. After boosting his attributes close to the middle third-rank limit, he returned to the Abyssal Beast Cavern and asked the White-Haired Elder to take twenty Basic Treasure-Hiding Talismans.

  • Yang Ling awakened the Forest of All Phenomena Dharma Eye, which doubled his skill effects for ten seconds but drained his mental power to one point and left him weak for three days.
  • After sleeping for three days, Yang Ling arranged a delivery at Song Yu Plaza and bought 200 Counterfeit Tyrant Blood Pills, 20 Basic Treasure-Hiding Talismans, 1,000 Flying Eagle Sets, and 10 Iron Bear Sets from Kuang Tu for 103,100 trade points.
  • Yang Ling learned from Kuang Tu that missions and instances on the Immortal Network were tied to level, and decided to level up before advancing.

After overhearing Nangong’s plans to meet the Directorate’s Grand Ancestor, Yang Ling feared she might bring him to Fire Flood Dragon Island and decided to return there first.

  • Yang Ling traded twenty Basic Treasure-Hiding Talismans to the White-Haired Elder and asked the Myriad Manifestations Office to prepare more pills, including Black Tortoise Longevity Blood Pills.
  • Two Fourth Ranks followed Yang Ling after he left, but he vanished; they returned to find Nangong Fengge inspecting the talismans.
  • Nangong Fengge concluded that the talismans likely came from outside forces cooperating with the Abyssal Beast Cavern, but ordered the others not to seize Yang Ling.
  • Nangong Fengge said she would question Yang Ling herself and revealed that she had come to meet the Grand Ancestor through Seal-Bearing Official Feng.
  • The White-Haired Elder led Nangong Fengge and the others into the Cicada-Holding Directorate, while Yang Ling stayed back because of the pressure he sensed there.

  • Yang Ling warned Ji Tianming that Nangong Fengge had gone to ask the Grand Ancestor of the Cicada-Holding Directorate to subdue him.
