Now I Attain the Great Grandmaster Realm!

Three million souls!

Zhang Fusheng was having trouble figuring it out.

Three thousand Living Souls for one dose of this great medicine; three million souls could buy a thousand doses of this Natural Great Medicine!!

This is an enormous sum—otherwise, those Martial Arts Master wouldn't need to consume 'artificial medicines' to uncover the great secrets.

If natural ingredients are available, who would eat a True Person's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys?

Three million Living Souls!

Reaching the level of a grandmaster is more than enough—it's more than enough!

No.

To be precise, he was Great Grandmaster.

Zhang Fusheng had never felt that the Great Grandmaster level was so close to him.

"Mr. Zhang?"

Chu Jipeng's voice rang out with a hint of doubt:

"The old man is waiting for you in the back hall."

Zhang Fusheng let out a soft breath, raised his eyelids, glanced at Chu Jipeng, and suddenly frowned.

Zhang Fusheng's near-innate spiritual realm and his status honed through Thousand Year Spirit Refining have made his spiritual perception extremely powerful.

At this moment, Chu Jipeng's 'malice' can be clearly perceived.

That bastard is plotting against himself.

Zhang Fusheng turned around and glanced at an old man who had entered the house at some point, his spiritual senses trembling slightly.

The old man gave him a very dangerous feeling—a grandmaster.

A true grandmaster is probably that retainer from the Chu family.

Interesting.

Something's strange.

Zhang Fusheng's mind raced. If he were to fully unleash his power now, although he could possess the Dharma form, what would he do against a true master?

That's unlikely.

The Grandmaster realm, where physical cultivation reaches the [Furnace] level, is the Dharma form achieved through the unity of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and spirit.

Even if its mysteries are not as profound as mine, even if its 'quality' is not as good as mine, at least in terms of 'quantity'...

It was a complete and utter crushing defeat.

My thoughts are racing.

Zhang Fusheng smiled:

"As Mr. Chu said, it's already late at night, and it would be somewhat inappropriate to disturb the old man at this time."

He stood up and spoke with a flourish:

"That's all for today. I'll come again tomorrow to bother you, sir."

Chu Jipeng's smile froze.

His lips twitched.

"Mr. Zhang, but the old man is already waiting for you, so why don't you..."

"No, no."

Zhang Fusheng waved his hand casually and said:

"The Enforcement Team outside is waiting for me, and I have official duties to perform. I was just passing by your manor tonight, so I took the opportunity to pay a visit. It's a bit informal."

He said earnestly:

"If you really want to pay a visit to Old Master Chu, let's wait until daytime. I will definitely make a grand visit then."

Zhang Fusheng sneered inwardly. Your malice was practically overflowing, and you even reeked of blood.

He had reason to suspect that this bastard was setting a trap for him.

But why?

Isn't the Chu family on Liu Yuan's side?

Chu Jipeng's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he quickly recovered and looked out the window at the sky outside the manor.

Armored Hovercar were suspended there.

He smiled politely:

"That's true, I didn't consider that carefully. In that case, Mr. Zhang, please come again tomorrow. I'll go and tell the old man. Someone, escort Mr. Zhang away from the manor."

Several servants came over, bowed respectfully, and gestured for Zhang Fusheng and Lin Changle to leave.

I watched them leave.

Venerable Zhou in a low voice:

"He didn't fall for it, what do we do now?"

Clearly, this old man was Chu Jipeng's confidant and already knew what had happened.

Chu Jipeng's expression turned icy:

"Who said they didn't fall for it? They took three million Living Souls! Three million Living Souls!"

He sneered:

"This is almost equivalent to several months' worth of revenue for the entire Chu Group. Tell me, who would believe that the Chu Group would just hand it over to an assistant manager like that?"

"A mere assistant manager!"

Venerable Zhou seemed to be deep in thought:

"You mean?"

Chu Jipeng snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a sharp light:

"Have someone inform Liu Cuihua upstairs that Assistant Manager Zhang Fusheng is meeting with the old man to discuss important matters, and tell her not to disturb him."

"Half an hour later, have someone remind her that it's late and she should go home. As they leave, mention that Assistant Manager Zhang is still having a long talk with the old man."

A thoughtful expression appeared on Venerable Zhou's face:

"He didn't get to see the old man, but we can make sure he has."

"That's right."

Chu Jipeng spoke coldly:

"I'll go see Liu Yuan in person later and mention that Assistant Manager Zhang is currently visiting my father."

"We would also like to invite Director Liu to come and have a chat with the old man first thing tomorrow morning."

After a moment, he took the wine glass handed to him by the maid, took a sip, and exhaled a faint breath of alcohol.

"Director Liu came to the door and together with me, we discovered the old man who had been attacked and murdered."

"Further investigation revealed that Assistant Manager Zhang also possessed the three million Living Souls."

Venerable Zhou nodded thoughtfully:

"In that case, even if it's not excrement, it's still excrement; he can't wipe it off, he can't clean it up."

Chu Jipeng smiled:

"Even the three million Living Souls can be recovered."

Venerable Zhou Gongfeng stroked his chin:

"What if he spends it all in one night?"

Chu Jipeng nearly choked on the liquor, his eyes widening in shock:

"Are you joking, old man? Three million Living Souls, how could he possibly spend that much in one night?"

"Even if he really spends a lot of money and buys a bunch of things, can he possibly use them all? He can just recycle them, right?"

Venerable Zhou smiled:

"That's true. I'll go set up the scene now, and you go see Director Liu first?"

"Nature."

Get rid of this disciple of Hong Tianbao.

Old Man Chen completely sided with the Chu family.

Why did the old man consistently forbid the Chu family from contacting overly powerful martial artists or the military?

"With the support of the military and Old Man Chen's strategic positioning, the Chu family's business will become dominant in all lower-level cities."

Chu Jipeng put down his wine glass, smiling faintly, as if he had everything under control and was confident of success.

"It all started with a small assistant manager."

Surrounded by security personnel, he left the manor and headed towards Director Liu's house.

'Click!'

Zhang Fusheng snapped the neck of the last security guard.

He looked at Chu Jipeng, who was slumped on the ground, and stroked his chin:

Why did you scheme against me?

"Although, I don't know what you're plotting against me for."

Chu Jipeng, who had just left Liu Yuan's house, was trembling with fear when he heard these words and almost jumped up.

No.

Are you sick in the head?

I don't know what they're plotting. That's just speculation.

Just guessing, and you fucking came charging in??

Zhang Fusheng scrutinized Chu Jipeng's eyes and roughly guessed what the other was thinking.

He scratched his head:

"Hmm, I don't really like to use my brain, so killing someone like you with malicious intent is definitely the right thing to do. Besides, are you going to talk or not?"

Chu Jipeng stared intently at the young man, knowing he absolutely could not speak. He just had to hold out until tomorrow morning, until Venerable Zhou noticed something was wrong.

'Laugh!'

A hand pierced his chest.

Zhang Fusheng shrugged:

"Fine, don't tell me then, I don't care."

He crushed Chu Jipeng's heart with a single squeeze, pulled his hand away, and then took a handkerchief from his pocket, gently wiping his blood-stained palm.

Chu Jipeng made a 'ho ho' sound, his face full of confusion and bewilderment.

He... he just killed himself like that?

Am I going to die?

My vision blurred intermittently.

No.

This person is insane!!

Chu Jipeng had a final thought, then collapsed to the ground, completely silent.

Zhang Fusheng casually tossed the handkerchief away.

He didn't care what this guy was plotting against him for.

In the face of absolute power, nothing matters.

None of that matters.

I checked the Divine Net and saw that the fifty Natural Great Medicine I ordered had arrived.

A full 150,000 Living Souls... wait, that doesn't seem like much?

There are still 2.95 million Living Souls on the card.

Zhang Fusheng licked his lips, a smile of excitement spreading across his face. This Chu Jipeng is truly a good person.

He clearly harbored intense malice towards himself.

And they even gave me so much money!!

"After tonight."

Zhang Fusheng raised his head, gazed at the sky, and muttered to himself:

"Everything will be different then."

The Western Sect, the various sects attracted by the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron, the shadow of the Investigation Bureau, and the strangeness of the Grandmaster's side.

Although it cannot be easily solved.

But after tonight, everything will be different.

"Chen Qiusheng."

As Zhang Fusheng pondered the name, he was indeed thinking of other people.

For example, Lin Yusheng, the deputy director of the Investigation Bureau.

For example, the enigmatic Miss Mingyue.

For example, there's the Ancestor of Land Immortals, who's always eyeing us covetously, and the God of Plague's exploiting us for his own benefit.

A strong sense of crisis loomed over Zhang Fusheng; since embarking on this path, he had never felt safe.

"I'm too weak, too weak."

"I want to become stronger."

"I want to break the limits, I want to!"

"Immortal."

Zhang Fusheng let out a sigh of relief.

"At least."

"After tonight, I finally have a little bit of ability to protect myself."

"Grandmaster!"

He walked past a hotel, his divine sense subtly seeping in through the cracks and fissures.

We stopped in front of a completely sealed, impermeable door.

The Immortal Thought coalesced into a letter and High Heaven Token, and then the Transforming the False into the True, and the letter fell before the door.

'Tap, tap, tap!'

The will of the spirit creates ripples out of thin air, producing 'sounds' that can only be captured by Mental Intent, before quietly receding away.

Moment.

The door slowly opened, Shen Baobao looked around warily before crouching down and picking up the letter.

A chill ran through her.

The letter exuded an ethereal, timeless Immortal Dao Rhyme; I reached out and tried to tear it—but couldn't.

The wax seal in the center of the letter bears the words "[High Heaven]".

"High Heaven."

Shen Baobao's expression grew even more solemn, even horrified!

She thought of the terrifying old man she had faced that day.

Then came the terrifying old man who questioned the heavens, calling out "[Heavenly Venerable]" and "[Above High Heaven]".

Close the door, lean against the wall, and take a deep breath.

Shen Baobao carefully broke the wax seal, gave it a gentle shake, and a token and a piece of letter paper fell out.

The token has two sides, one side bearing the characters "[High Heaven]" and the other side engraved with intricate patterns.

Flowers, birds, fish, insects, mountains, rivers, plants, as well as Daoist temples, Buddhist temples, and schools.

The wooden plaque exudes a solemn and dignified aura, radiating an extremely profound Immortal Dao Rhyme!

Shen Baobao's breathing quickened as she looked at the letter again.

'Above High Heaven, I grant you permission to leave your name.'

Eighteen days later, I will have an audience with the Heavenly Venerable.

'Shen Baobao, receive'

Just three lines.

"To pay homage to the Heavenly Venerable?"

The dean of the Golden University was furious.

I quietly returned home.

The efficiency of Divine Net is indeed very high; within three hours, the large quantity of medicine I ordered had been delivered.

Zhang Fusheng sat cross-legged, with countless small wooden boxes arranged in front of him.

He took a deep breath; there was still a considerable amount left after the large-scale transactions in Chongyang City last time.

This includes a lifespan of 120 years, 160 years of cultivation time, and 50 years of spiritual cultivation.

"Mental cultivation is off-limits. We'll have to wait until we've accumulated another thousand years of mental cultivation."

Zhang Fusheng muttered to himself:

"Then I can begin to try selling my spiritual cultivation and regressing to the Minor Perfection level."

"And then, comes the [final leap]!"

He exhaled a breath of stale air. One hundred and sixty years of cultivation, combined with these powerful medicines, was more than enough for him to break through the limits of Martial Arts Master!

Break through to the Grandmaster level, and then immediately achieve the status of a Great Master.

Who knows how much of a commotion this will cause? I can't stay home.

Rolling up one small wooden box after another,

Under the cover of night, Zhang Fusheng quietly sped to the outskirts of Chongyang City, then accelerated and drove at breakneck speed!

As it turns out, Chongyang Bubble, or Chongyang Little World, is much larger than Jiangzhou Little World.

He sped to a place thousands of miles away, but it was still a desolate wilderness, and he never saw the insurmountable boundary river.

"Fine, this will do."

Zhang Fusheng sat cross-legged, his gaze intense:

"After breaking through to the Grandmaster realm, I'll go see Hu Zhongli and, while I'm at it, bring Elder Yu into the High Heaven Gaotian Association."

"Given their status..."

"Shouldn't there be a way to buy level 4 Star Beast Meat?"

"I wonder how many Living Souls?"

Consuming the flesh of the Brave Lion brings one Buddha-nature Golden Light that permeates the skin, with a tendency to form a golden body!

But what about level 4 Star Beast Meat?

What if it were the flesh of Four-Tusked White Elephant, or perhaps Three-legged Sunbird with mixed blood?

How can a hybrid golden crow not be a golden crow?

Zhang Fusheng opened the wooden boxes one by one.

"Contract Book."

The time has come.

One hundred and sixty years of cultivation were absorbed into himself, and he swallowed dose after dose of powerful medicine!

As the moonlight deepened, the desolate mountains remained deserted.

The Liver's Great Secret, fully revealed!

His body was as pure as crystal, radiating a crystal-clear light, and his eyes held divine brilliance!

The Heart's Great Secret, the triple shackles, all broken!

My whole body felt hot, my Qi and Blood was surging, and intense white light flowed between my teeth!

The Lung's Great Secret!

The Kidney's Great Secret!

One shackle after another was broken, and one major secret after another was uncovered!

At this moment, all five internal organs are activated.

The Blood Qi Beacon behind them had already reached a height of five hundred meters!

"A contract! A book!"

Zhang Fusheng's deep voice echoed in this deserted mountain range, and the originally deep mountains were now glowing with a rosy glow from the intense Qi and Blood and qi!

"Let me see your limits!"

'Boom!'

Suddenly, snow-capped mountains appeared behind us, and the sun was hidden overhead.

My body is like a blazing furnace!

(Shamelessly asking for votes! I'm starting to stockpile chapters; once I've saved up enough, I'll update like crazy!)
