The Yi Family of Cold Wind City

After the Bai family was destroyed, Dongfang Yueming's status on the ship underwent a dramatic change.

No one dared to cast an unfriendly glance at him anymore. Everyone who encountered him, whether they were ordinary Qi Refining cultivators or those who were usually arrogant and haughty Inner Force masters, would bow respectfully from afar, their eyes filled with awe.

His daily life returned to its previous leisurely pace. He spent his days looking at the sea, feeling the breeze, and occasionally giving pointers to Wang Pangzi who came to ask for his advice. He lived a carefree and leisurely life.

On this day, a Inner Force energy cultivator from the Bai family actually approached Wang Pangzi, who was practicing.

"Fellow Daoist Wang... Fellow Daoist Wang." The expert with Inner Force adopted a very humble posture, even bordering on obsequious.

The martial artists around who witnessed this scene were stunned, but upon reflection, they felt it was only natural. Everyone knew that Wang Pangzi was the only person on this ship who could speak to that "God of Slaughter."

"Hey, isn't this the Bai family... oh wait, there's no Bai family anymore." Wang Pangzi, now riding high on his success, glanced at the other man and said sarcastically, "What's up?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across the face of the expert with Inner Force, but he still smiled and said, "My name is Yi Hao. I have an important matter to discuss with you, Fellow Daoist Wang, and I would like to ask you to introduce me to that Dongfang."

"See him?" Wang Pangzi curled his lip. "I can't guarantee he'll see you. You've seen his temper before."

"Yes, yes, yes," Yi Hao nodded repeatedly, secretly slipping a bag over. "It's just a small token, nothing special. I only ask that Fellow Daoist Wang help me pass on the message; whether it's possible or not, I will be eternally grateful."

Wang Pangzi weighed it in his hand before reluctantly nodding.

He arrived outside Dongfang Yueming's room and respectfully knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Wang Pangzi pushed open the door and entered. He saw Dongfang Yueming sitting cross-legged and quickly relayed Yi Hao's request.

A moment later, Yi Hao was brought before Dongfang Yueming. As soon as he entered, he bowed deeply to Dongfang Yueming, his posture extremely respectful.

"Yi family Yi Hao respects to Dongfang."

Dongfang Yueming opened his eyes and asked calmly, "What is it?"

"This junior... this junior dares to ask the senior about the true meaning of the ' Lightning Prison Star-Shattering Hammer ' in your possession." Yi Hao mustered his courage and stated his purpose.

Wang Pangzi, who was standing to the side, was terrified and cursed inwardly for how audacious this guy was to dare to ask for Grandmaster's martial arts technique!

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yueming's heart stirred slightly.

[This true intention is of little use to me; it will eventually be converted into points. If I could exchange it for a master-level water-attribute Grandmaster art, that would be perfect.]

Seeing that Dongfang Yueming remained silent, Yi Hao became extremely nervous, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Just when he was about to give up, Dongfang Yueming finally spoke, "I can give you the things. But what can you give in exchange?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Hao felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his face beaming with joy!

He quickly said, "Senior! I come from the Yi family, one of the three great families of Cold Wind City in the Great Han Dynasty! Our family happens to possess a water-attribute Grandmaster- level martial art that has been passed down for many years, called the ' Sea-Overturning Seal '! I am willing to exchange this technique for it!"

Fearing that Dongfang Yueming might not believe him, he added, "This junior knows that a single cultivation technique might not be as valuable as the true intent in your possession, senior. Once we return to Cold Wind City, if senior has any needs, my Yi family will do everything in our power to fulfill them!"

[The Great Han Dynasty... Cold Wind City...] Dongfang Yueming thought of the Jiao Clan.

[The Jiao Clan gave me a Qi Refining technique back then, which can be considered a good deed. Although I saved Jiao Yu'er, so we're even, it wouldn't hurt to go back and visit them.]

Thinking of this, he nodded. "Okay, I promise you."

"Thank you so much, senior! Thank you so much, senior!" Yi Hao was overjoyed. He knew he had made the right bet this time!

Time flies, and twenty days have passed quietly.

The giant ship gradually slowed down, and a familiar coastline could be seen on the distant horizon.

Cold Wind City is almost here.

On the deck, all the returning martial artists stood up, their faces filled with excitement and emotion.

Dongfang Yueming stood in the crowd, his mind once again focused on the control panel.

[Character: Dongfang Yueming]

[Points:12022]

[It's almost time. To improve my strength, I should Point Allocation some points to the "Lightning Prison Star-Shattering Hammer" and see what mysteries this thunder attribute true meaning holds.]

[Point Allocation!]

[Ding! 200 points consumed, Lightning Prison Star-Shattering Hammer upgraded to Entry!]

A violent surge of thunderous intent exploded within his Sea of Consciousness! It was as if thousands of thunder serpents were galloping and roaring!

[Continue!]

[Ding! Consumed 600 points, Lightning Prison Star-Shattering Hammer upgraded to Minor Accomplishment!]

[Ding! Consumed 1000 points, Lightning Prison Star-Shattering Hammer upgraded to Major Accomplishment!]

[Ding! Consumed... Lightning Prison Star-Shattering Hammer upgraded to Perfection!]

Boom!

At the moment of its Perfection, that thunderous intent became even more condensed and domineering, as if it could punish on behalf of heaven and judge all living beings!

Just then, Yi Hao came to visit respectfully.

"Dongfang, we are about to arrive in Cold Wind City. My father has prepared a small feast in the city. Would you do me the honor of staying at my Yi family for a few days?"

Dongfang Yueming thought for a moment and realized that he did indeed need to visit the Jiao Clan, so he politely declined, saying, "I have some personal matters to attend to, so I won't bother you for now. I will visit the Yi family after I've finished my business."

"In that case, this junior will await your arrival in the clan." Yi Hao dared not insist and quickly took out a token engraved with the character "Yi" and presented it with both hands. "Senior, this is my Yi family's guest elder token. In Cold Wind City, seeing this token is equivalent to seeing the patriarch."

Dongfang Yueming accepted the token and nodded.
