"Yes, if we want to establish a foothold in the Netherworld, the fastest way is to cooperate with the established forces here."
Judging from the current situation, the Yan Lineage should be a good ally. The Yan Lineage's power is deeply rooted in Nine Yama City, and Nine Yama City is crucial to the Manju Imperial Court. As long as we can cooperate deeply with the Yan Lineage, we can also indirectly help the Manju Imperial Court. This will make it much easier for us to contact people from the Manju Imperial Court in the future, which will be helpful in finding out your background.
On the other hand, we can also acquire a large number of Yin Stone through transactions with the Yan Lineage, allowing us to grow stronger and restore our power as quickly as possible.
Chen Mu sipped his wine and talked eloquently, as if everything was under his control.
"However, judging from the fact that the Patrol Department dared to intercept us today, the Yan Lineage's situation in Nine Yama City doesn't seem too good."
"Mingye reminded me."
"This is something I really didn't expect. The Yan Lineage has declined so quickly that even the city's Patrol Department dare to outwardly comply with them but inwardly defy them."
It seems that something must have happened in Nine Yama City recently that we are unaware of, which has greatly affected the situation in the city.
However, this doesn't affect my plan. If the Yan Lineage remains at its peak, they won't value us, and it will be difficult for us to have further cooperation with them. So it's good that they encounter some trouble, because that way we can realize our value and achieve our goals as soon as possible."
Chen Mu downed the wine in his glass in one gulp and put the glass away.
"Alright, you must be tired after a long day. Go home and get some rest."
Mingye finished his Blue Silver Juice, looked up at Chen Mu, nodded slightly, turned and walked out of the room, not forgetting to close the door behind Chen Mu.
Inside the Yan Manor, Yan Lianfang hurriedly walked to the outside of a magnificent and exquisite courtyard with small, quick steps.
"Dad! Are you there? Your daughter needs to talk to you!"
She hadn't even entered the courtyard when she started shouting, causing the servants inside to rush out to greet her.
Inside the room, a middle-aged man with a refined demeanor and square features heard the shouts outside, shook his head helplessly, and gave instructions to the butler beside him.
" Old Nie, go and let Fang'er in!"
"Yes, Master."
Old Nie immediately turned around and went outside to instruct the guards to let Yan Lianfang in.
" Fang'er, why are you in such a panic?"
Yan Hongcai put down the book in his hand and looked at Yan Lianfang with slight displeasure.
Yan Lianfang was sent to the Yin Baleful Intent Sect to cultivate from a young age, and only returned to her Lineage after she had achieved some success in her cultivation. Therefore, she has never been very observant of mortal etiquette. Although Yan Hongcai was dissatisfied, he could do nothing about it.
"Father! I just heard some news about the disciples of the ' Divine Talisman Gate,' would you like to know?"
Yan Lianfang stood with her hands behind her back, looking smug.
" Divine Talisman Gate?"
Yan Hongcai pursed his lips in annoyance, picked up a piece of intelligence from his desk, and began to read it by himself.
" Fang'er, don't cause trouble. The fighting on the front lines is fierce lately, and your father has too many things to deal with."
Let's talk about this over dinner tonight.
Although Yan Hongcai looks only in his thirties or forties, he has actually lived for several hundred years and knows the Divine Talisman Gate very well. He encounters several people impersonating members of the Divine Talisman Gate in the imperial city every year, and he has long since given up hope on this matter.
"Dad, don't rush me to leave!"
I'm pretty sure he's real this time, because he's not only a talisman master, but he can also create lightning-type magical artifacts."
Yan Lianfang said with absolute certainty.
Yan Hongcai hearing this, since a talisman master who could create lightning-type magic weapons was quite valuable, even if he wasn't from the Divine Talisman Gate.
"So, where is this person you're talking about now?"
"He's in our household right now. Father, if you want to see him, I can arrange it anytime."
Yan Lianfang responded.
Yan Hongcai nodded, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
"No rush! Since you trust him, why don't you give him a gift for me?"
As he spoke, he ordered his steward to fetch an exquisitely crafted gift box from outside. He then placed a precious spiritual material inside the box, closed it, affixed a talisman to it, and handed the box to Yan Lianfang.
"Dad, what is this gift box...?"
Yan Lianfang examined the mysterious talisman paper on the gift box, her expression showing confusion.
"This gift box is affixed with a secret Sealing Talisman passed down by the Divine Talisman Gate. It was personally made by Ancestor Yan Zhen, and I don't have many left in stock. I never expected it to be used here."
A look of pain flashed in Yan Hongcai's eyes, but during this low period, if the successor of the Divine Talisman Gate really appeared, it would be of great help to him, so he felt that wasting a Sealing Talisman was definitely worthwhile.
"If he really is a member of the Divine Talisman Gate, he should be able to break the seal very easily."
So you need to watch him open the gift box yourself. If he declines or refuses, then you don't need to waste your time on him anymore.
"Okay! I understand. I'll send it to him tomorrow morning."
Yan Lianfang nodded and agreed.
"Also, Fang'er, be careful when you go out lately. If you're going somewhere far, be sure to take your older brother with you."
"Many spies from the Extreme Evil Imperial Court have infiltrated the city, and the Li and Wang families are eyeing the position of city lord. I'm worried they might take drastic measures."
"Okay, okay! You've told me this several times already, I know what I'm doing."
Yan Lianfang waved her hand, took the gift box, and left the study.
The next day, after a night of cultivation, Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes.
After a human cultivator condenses their inner world, the vast majority of their essence, energy, and spirit will become nutrients for that inner world. In other words, at this stage, 99% of a cultivator's power resides within their inner world.
Therefore, after Chen Mu's inner world was sealed, not only could his Dharma Power not regenerate, but his Soul Power and even his physical strength also became extremely weak.
If other cultivators encountered this situation, they would undoubtedly feel extremely frustrated. However, Chen Mu took a different approach and thought of using neural networks to control the cells in his body, thereby creating a dantian in acupoints.
Buddhism says that a flower is a world, and a leaf is a Bodhi tree. The human body is actually an inexhaustible treasure. As long as you find the right method, every cell in the human body can actually evolve into a vast world.
Chen Mu is not in a hurry to improve his Spiritual Power level. After all, he has accumulated a great deal of spiritual power. As long as he has enough Yin Stone, he can recover his strength from back then in a very short time.
What he's thinking about now is to take advantage of this opportunity to start over, consolidate his foundation, Spirit Transformation network, and lay the groundwork for breaking through to the Dharma Network Realm in the future.
