Information on the Xi Family

"I have a question for you," Dongfang Yueming said, looking at Zhou Tong directly. "The Military Merit Office exchange at Black Stone Fortress doesn't offer cultivation techniques for the Blood Replacement Realm. Do you know of any place or way nearby where I can obtain Blood Replacement Technique?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong scoffed inwardly: ' Blood Replacement Technique? That's a treasure trove capable of forging the pinnacle of Body Tempering Martial Dao! How precious! Do you think you can just get your hands on it like it's a free lunch?'

However, he dared not reveal the slightest hint of his true feelings, and respectfully replied, "Brother Dongfang, this Blood Replacement technique is extraordinary; it is generally only possessed by large families. To obtain it, one usually has to find a way to join these families and become a core member; otherwise, it is extremely difficult for outsiders to come into contact with it."

'Joining a large family? Becoming a core member?' Dongfang Yueming frowned slightly. 'That sounds troublesome. Could it be... that I really have to take the path of marrying into the family?'

He quickly shook his head, dismissing the unrealistic idea.

"Isn't there any other way?" Dongfang Yueming pressed.

"Hmm..." Zhou Tong pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something. He said, "There's another way! That is to enter the Martial Dao Academy of our Great Xia Dynasty. As long as you can become one of the top students in the Martial Dao Academy, the so-called ' Seed Class ' members, you will have the opportunity to come into contact with the Blood Replacement Technique! Even... I've heard that within the Seed Class, it's possible to obtain a method that transcends the mortal realm and allows one to enter the Qi Refining Realm!"

' Seed Class?' Dongfang Yueming's eyes lit up. 'That sounds much more reliable!'

Zhou Tong, observing Dongfang Yueming's apparent interest in the information, quickly pressed his advantage, feigning flattery. "With Brother Dongfang's extraordinary talent, your aptitude is undoubtedly one in a million! You'll definitely be able to easily enter the Seed Class, and then the Blood Replacement Technique and Qi Refining Method will be within your grasp!"

While he outwardly flattered her, he inwardly sneered: 'Hmph! Want to get into the Seed Class? How utterly ignorant! That place gathers the most outstanding geniuses of the Great Xia Dynasty! You can't even call yourself Seed Class student if you haven't reached Perfection in several Body Tempering tempering realms! You? Let me show you what true difference is! When you run into a wall, let's see how arrogant you still are!'

Dongfang Yueming nodded slightly, memorizing the information about the "Seed Class," then casually asked, "How much do you know about the Xi Family?"

"The Xi... Xi Family?!" Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his fur standing on end, all color draining from his face as he stared at Dongfang Yueming in terror. "You... why would you ask about the Xi Family?!" That's a true behemoth of Black Stone Fortress!

"You only need to answer my questions." Dongfang Yueming's tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable pressure.

Zhou Tong's throat bobbed, his voice unconsciously lowering as he carefully chose his words: "The Xi Family... the Xi Family family is extremely powerful! As far as I know, the family has more than one top expert at the Blood Replacement Realm! One of them is Xi Zhenyue, who holds great power in our Black Stone Fortress! Moreover... and there are rumors that the Xi Family family itself may even have... may even have someone who has stepped into the Qi Refining Realm!"

'A Qi Refining Realm expert?!' Dongfang Yueming was also taken aback. He hadn't expected the Xi Family's foundation to be even deeper than he had anticipated!

He remained expressionless, simply waving his hand dismissively. "Alright, you can go now."

Upon receiving the pardon, Zhou Tong felt as if he had been granted a great pardon. He scrambled away and disappeared without a trace, as if afraid that Dongfang Yueming would change his mind.

Watching Zhou Tong's hasty retreat, Dongfang Yueming 'Spirit Transformation serious.

'I must act quickly,' he thought to himself. 'I can't delay any longer. I must resolve this trouble before that Blood Replacement Realm general behind Xi Lang notices me, and then leave this Black Stone Fortress! Otherwise, things could get complicated, and if I'm targeted by someone of that level, the consequences will be unimaginable!'

The most urgent task now is to Point Allocation!
