Just as Albert was about to push open the time-worn wooden door, his ears twitched slightly. A faint voice drifted over from behind.It was a secret message passed to him by the white ape.He paused his hand briefly, committing every word to memory, then without further hesitation, he pushed the wooden door wide open in one swift motion.Outside lay a world shrouded in dense blood mist that blurred all sight. Strange whispers echoed faintly within the crimson haze, stirring unease and dread in one’s heart.Yet Albert’s expression remained calm and unwavering. He clenched his palm, summoning the Golden-Jade Blade, while mounting the Heavenly Dragon Sun-Chasing Bow upon his back. Soul power surged wildly within his body, and three resplendent star phantoms suddenly manifested behind him.Verity also kept her composure. She raised her fair hand, and a pale blue pure jade vase appeared out of thin air. Powerful energy ripples emanated from the treasure, drawing Albert’s gaze.You truly ke

Albert was about to follow when he spotted something familiar inside the cauldron. Upon closer look, they turned out to be Primal Soul Fruits. Most of them were charred and broken, retaining only faint wisps of lingering energy.Clearly, most of their essence had already been extracted, leaving nothing but mere remnants.Albert blinked softly. Though these were merely leftover scraps, they still held traces of medicinal power. Discarded casually by the white ape, they still possessed considerable value.After all, those waiting outside the thatched cottage had not even caught a whiff of the fruits themselves.He quickly spoke up. Senior White Ape, may I take these away?The ape glanced over in surprise. They are nothing but useless scraps... You are truly frugal, Your Holiness.It waved its paw indifferently. Help yourself.Albert promptly waved his hand, gathering all the leftover Primal Soul Fruits within the cauldron. After a quick selection, he kept those dried fruits that still r

Over the years, the sheer volume of soul essence he has refined and absorbed would have long clogged and stagnated the souls of an ordinary cultivator, halting their progress countless times. Having consumed such vast quantities himself, he knew better than anyone just how arduous it was to elevate a single soul to the Nine-Star rank.The amount of soul essence required for such advancement was simply astronomical.What was more, once a soul reached the Eight-Star realm, ordinary soul essence lost all efficacy. Only Seven-Star grade essence could yield the slightest improvement, while Eight-Star essence worked far better. Yet its exorbitant price meant even Albert, a direct descendant and chief heir of the Dragon Tooth Lineage, could no longer sustain his former pace of consumption.As for Nine-Star soul essence, he had barely laid eyes on it to this day.But now, this Creation Divine Nectar could single-handedly replace all those endless reserves of soul essence. Even with his steady

Albert nodded, deciding not to press further about the divine medicine for the time being. He smiled and asked gently, I have come here to obtain precious herbs capable of elevating soul rank. Do you have such treasures in stock?The white ape smiled in reply. Naturally we do. This Heavenly Domain Secret Realm supplies nearly half of all soul essence needed across the entire sect.It hurried over to a frosty black ice shelf, then took down a honeycomb-shaped jade artifact shimmering with profound cold radiance.This holds roughly several hundred vials of Seven-Star Soul Essence, plus over thirty vials of Eight-Star Soul Essence.Ecstasy instantly surged through Albert’s heart. Hundreds of vials of Seven-Star Soul Essence were worth hundreds of millions in total!He had struck incredible fortune out of nowhere!Just as he was overcome with joy, the white ape suddenly shook the jade artifact in confusion. Huh? Where has all the stored soul essence gone? It’s all vanished completely.The

Verity’s eyes sparkled the moment she heard this. It was obvious that the most precious treasures lay within the main hall ahead, while the second side chamber could only hold items of far inferior grade at best.What was more, the legendary divine medicine could never be kept in such an ordinary side room.Having endured countless hardships to reach this place, Verity naturally harbored far greater ambitions.She quickly spoke up. Senior White Ape, an elder has issued orders for me to retrieve the divine medicine.Albert gritted his teeth inwardly. Verity was truly insatiably greedy, daring to deceive the ancient ape. That divine medicine was rightfully his!Just as Albert was racking his brains to thwart her scheme, the white ape suddenly narrowed its eyes and spoke sternly.Which elder dares to make such presumptuous demands? Not only is the divine medicine not yet fully refined, even if it were finished, it is never something any ordinary elder could claim.Verity was instantly lo

Standing behind the white ape, Verity’s crystal-clear eyes flashed with surprise as well. Could Albert really get in just like that? What exactly had he shown the ancient ape earlier?Confusion and curiosity welled up deep inside her heart.Great joy surged through Albert now that he had gained permission to enter, and his tense mood finally eased. This thatched cottage undoubtedly held the greatest fortune within the entire Heavenly Domain Secret Realm. He could never let Verity claim it all. He had long made up his mind that if he failed to get inside, he would simply wait outside for her to come out—and then he would have no choice but to act ruthlessly. After all, they were already rivals, and there was no need for him to show any mercy.He stepped forward quickly and stood beside her behind the white ape.Verity glanced at him and smiled softly. Lord Dragon Leader Albert truly has boundless means. You can even seize such a rare opportunity. No wonder you have achieved so much at

The chief andrologist spoke humbly, Second Master, you must have realized how bizarre this matter is. It may even go beyond the scope of modern medicine. No matter how you scold or beat me, it won’t change anything. We have to work together to find the root cause, and then trace it to figure out a cure.Orwell snapped angrily, Stop making so many excuses! If you can’t treat it, just admit it and shut up! Get out of here right now and send someone capable over!Davidson held him back, frowning deeply and sinking into long thought. He also knew this strange condition was probably beyond medical explanation.Just then, his son Langston suddenly shouted, Dad! Could that bastard at Uncle’s house be behind all this?!Davidson asked sharply, You mean that young man who fought against me?!Exactly! Langston replied. He kept talking about remote sterilization back then, claiming he would make us infertile. He even said if we ever needed his help, we had to kneel at the gate of Uncle’s villa. I

Langston slapped him hard across the face and snapped angrily, Do I need you to repeat my words in question form? Hurry up and arrange the checkups! If you miss the best time for treatment, I’ll make you pay dearly!Seeing his cousin lash out, Fink also stepped forward and kicked the director, grinding his teeth. What are you still dawdling for? Believe it or not, I’ll fire you tonight!The director was filled with grievance yet dared not show his anger. He could only speak respectfully. Please wait a moment, young masters. I’ll go summon all the andrology specialists at once!Soon after, the hospital’s top andrology experts arrived at the director’s office.After learning what had happened, they immediately took the two young masters of the Austin Family to the examination room for tests.Ten minutes later, all the hospital’s andrology specialists gathered there.Some had already driven several kilometers away after finishing work, while others were on days off. Still, they were all

His own father and third uncle were even capable of scheming against their own elder brother who shared the same blood. If that was the case, could he not follow their example and scheme against Fink in the future?The more he thought about it, the more he found the whole scheme rather intriguing.First, split the family assets into three parts. The second and third brothers would join forces to swallow up the eldest brother’s share. After that, the second brother’s side would wait for a chance to take over the third brother’s assets as well. In the end, wouldn’t the entire Austin Family fall right into his own hands?Just thinking about this plan made Langston brim with excitement.Though the Austin Family only ranked third among all powerful clans in Neon City, if he alone could take full control of the entire family business, he would undoubtedly become the wealthiest person in the whole city, without exception.Even core top-tier clans like the Smith Family and Bruce Family had no

The CT scan showed Davidson had a fractured wrist, while Orwell suffered bladder damage. Though neither’s life was in danger, both would need a long period of careful recuperation.And all of this was Alan’s doing.Austin Hospital was an upscale private hospital invested and owned by the Austin Family.Though its overall medical prowess could not rival the top-tier Grade A tertiary hospitals, it was undoubtedly among the elite of private medical facilities.Every prominent clan in Neon City actually owned its own private hospital.Ostensibly open to the public, these hospitals mostly turned away outside patients in ordinary times.They were reserved almost exclusively for internal use by the family.Now, besides Davidson and Orwell, all the others who had been driven out of Omba’s residence by Alan had also gathered here, wearing gloomy expressions as they discussed their next move.What had happened today was an enormous shock they had never seen coming.First, they had never expecte

Omba nodded and said, From what I’ve heard going around town, four years ago your grandfather suddenly fell ill, yet the doctors could find no cause whatsoever. He sought medical help everywhere, but nothing worked.Later, members of the Smith Family traveled across the country to famous mountains and sacred lands, visiting countless reclusive masters. But after those masters inspected the ancestral burial grounds, they all turned and left without a single word. No matter how the family pressed them for a reason, none would utter a word.Your grandfather was driven to desperation. He personally traveled all the way to the United States and visited an elderly Chinese feng shui master over a hundred years old three times before persuading him to come back. Once the feng shui master arrived and examined the Smith Family’s ancestral tomb layout, he said the family was trapped in an inauspicious feng shui formation known as a dragon stranded in shallow shallows — one that was extremely dif
