Because of what the two men had done earlier to cause trouble in Tian Zhu’s shop, the other participants who had planned to stage scenarios to slander him ultimately abandoned their intentions.That was because if they tried anything to bring down the young man’s pill shop, people would simply regard it as baseless slander. So rather than wasting time on something pointless, they chose to focus on developing their own shops.Even though it was difficult to attract customers, as people preferred going to Tian Zhu’s shop and several others—especially Ming Bai’s pill shop.Tian Zhu’s shop only offered Earth-tier pills at most, and even then, not many—just a few. Meanwhile, Ming Bai’s pill shop, which had an Earth-tier Alchemist, possessed a considerable number of Earth-tier pills available for sale.If not for Alchemist Yu, Ming Bai would likely be struggling right now to devise strategies to attract customers.**Finally, one month passed since the selection test for the new Earth God S

The world of cultivators is a place where strength is everything—power stands above all else.In the selection trial for the position of Sect Master of the Earth God Sect, strength is the most highly valued criterion.This test of power will take place in an extremely vast arena, witnessed by all members of the Earth God Sect so they can observe the abilities of the candidates and gain confidence in the one who will lead them in the future.Everything had been meticulously prepared. Everyone eagerly anticipated the battle between the candidates for the new Sect Master. However, it seemed they would have to postpone it—or perhaps they would not be able to witness it at all.A problem had arisen that forced the trial to be halted or delayed. This naturally disappointed not only the participants but also the sect members who had been looking forward to watching the event.But there was nothing they could do. This was not a trivial matter that could simply be ignored.“They’ve started lau

Tian Zhu continued moving toward his destination. As the sun set, darkness enveloped the land, and shadows spread everywhere. Tian Zhu, who had been flying above the clouds, suddenly shot downward and slipped into the shadows on the ground, moving at incredible speed.Although Tian Zhu’s Shadow Step Technique was slower than flying at a moderate speed, it was far safer from surveillance since he merged with the shadows.As he got closer to the mining area, he could finally see it from a distance. Tian Zhu sensed the surroundings—there were quite a number of cultivators patrolling the area.He did not enter immediately. Instead, he moved to the right, passing many members of the Fire God Sect on patrol. He stopped when he spotted two people assigned together, who were relatively far from the others.Tian Zhu approached them until he was within their shadows.“Hey, don’t you feel something strange?” one of them asked.“Strange? What do you mean? It’s probably just your imagination,” his

Tian Zhu already understood Elder Heng’s personality, so he knew the elder wouldn’t be offended. He was aware of the limits of how he should act in front of him.“Then what is your purpose in coming here? Seeing how you reveal yourself so boldly like this, you’re not here to attack, are you? Besides, I don’t think you’re foolish enough to be unaware of the strength of the enemy before you,” Elder Heng said, slightly intrigued by how calm Tian Zhu was.“No, you’re wrong, Elder. I came here to kill you.” Tian Zhu smiled faintly.Elder Heng fell silent for a moment, not expecting such words to come from a boy at the early stage of the Sky Spiritual level.He himself was a cultivator at the late stage of the Heaven Spiritual level—how could he possibly be killed by someone merely at the Sky Spiritual level? The joke made Elder Heng unable to hold back his laughter.“Hahaha! Kill me? And how exactly are you going to do that? With those tiny hands of yours?” Elder Heng suddenly formed an en

Elder Xun was the Second Elder of the Earth God Sect. He had been assigned to spy on the mining areas that had been seized by the enemy sect. While traveling toward another mine after finishing his inspection of a previous one, he suddenly stopped midway after noticing something strange.“What is that? Snow? How can it be snowing in part of the forest during summer like this?” Elder Xun frowned as he looked toward the area where the snow was falling.Since it was currently nighttime, he had initially thought it was just rain. So he did not find it too surprising at first. However, after taking a closer look, he realized that it was actually snow.This was an extremely unusual phenomenon, which aroused Elder Xun’s curiosity. The middle-aged man quickly headed toward the area where the snow was falling. Upon arriving, he could feel the cold air surrounding the place.“How could this happen? A strange natural phenomenon like this shouldn’t occur. There must be someone behind this. But to
