Chu Yun sat by the table, lightly tapping his fingers against the wooden surface.

"The Darkwater Syndicate..."

After a moment of thought, Chu Yun called Shen Ye over and gave him a few instructions.

The task of gathering detailed information about the Darkwater Syndicate was naturally best suited for Shen Ye. It certainly wasn't something worth Chu Yun's own time or effort to run around for anymore.

Hearing Chu Yun's orders, Shen Ye immediately acknowledged them an

    This was an incredibly difficult posture to hold. It required both immense strength and extreme flexibility. The entire body's muscles and bones had to be as pliant as if they had no substance at all, yet simultaneously as tough and unyielding as cast iron.Clearly, within the cultivation method Chu Yao practiced, this was one of the more advanced stances.Chu Yun activated his Spirit Vision and circled around Chu Yao. After observing her carefully, his Spirit power surged out, completely immobilizing her.Chu Yao felt an overwhelming force envelop her entire body. It was as if the surrounding air had solidified into a block of solid ice, freezing her in that exact posture.Next.She felt multiple parts of her body being compressed and adjusted by that invisible force. The curve of her spine was altered slightly, the bend of her leg was lifted a fraction, and her abdomen was tucked in just a bit more.Six or seven different areas were meticu

    Even with the best medicinal baths and high-quality demon meat rich in Crimson Vigor, it was impossible to artificially produce a Ninth Tier Martial Cultivator in just a few short days.To condense the first surge of Crimson Vigor and step into the Ninth Tier in such a short amount of time, there were only two possibilities. The first was consuming an exceedingly rare natural spiritual fruit—something that could forcibly elevate one's aptitude or even instantly boost them up a tier.But such spiritual fruits were worth their weight in gold. Setting aside how difficult it would be for Chu Yun to acquire one, even if he did, it was highly unlikely he would eat it just to break through to the Ninth Tier. That would be an astronomical waste.Therefore.There was only one true answer."What do you mean, 'you know'?"Chu Yun let out a chuckle and nodded gently. "That's right. I am a Mystic Master."His simple, straightforward admissio

    Time flew by.In the blink of an eye, eight days had passed.[Name: Chu Yun][Age: 18][Martial Prowess: Strength of Two Horses][Spirit: Origin Spirit level 9.0 (+)][Spirit Points: 5]Five days ago, Chu Yun had easily reached the first formal tier of martial arts—the Ninth Tier!And his Martial Prowess had finally shed the description of "Feeble Mortal," replaced by a new one.Reaching a formal tier in martial arts, even just the lowest Ninth Tier, placed one on a completely different level from ordinary people.This was because a Ninth Tier Martial Cultivator cultivated a surge of Crimson Vigor within their body. As long as they possessed this Crimson Vigor, they gained the ability known as a "Crimson Vigor Outburst."This meant forcibly drawing upon their Crimson Vigor to unleash a terrifying surge of power in a single instant.Under extreme anger, ordinary people could sometimes suddenly u

    Inside the bedroom.Chu Yun carefully examined the Gilded Jade Physique Art manual resting on the table.The content of the Gilded Jade Physique Art was divided into two main sections. The first was the breathing and exhalation technique, which required a rhythm of three long breaths followed by one short breath. The closer the interval between each breath was to perfect mathematical precision, the better.The second section was the physical stances. Like all other martial arts cultivation methods, the goal was to use these stances in conjunction with the breathing technique to align oneself with heaven and earth, becoming one with nature. In this state, spiritual energy would naturally enter the body with each breath and circulate within.There was also a supplementary section detailing various medicinal baths and prescriptions. These materials were meant to accelerate the body-tempering process. As a concubine-born son of Duke Sovereign's Estate, Chu Yu

    As she spoke.Chu Yao didn't give him a chance to object, dragging Chu Yun straight into the Martial Sanctum.Every Martial Cultivator they encountered along the way, regardless of age or grade, smiled and bowed to Chu Yao, and consequently, to Chu Yun as well.Chu Yun knew her personality. Though he shook his head helplessly on the inside, he let her drag him along.Soon.The two of them arrived in front of a row of low-slung buildings at the very back of the Martial Sanctum.An elderly man with a head of white hair and a white beard was resting on a reclining chair in front of the buildings. Despite his advanced age and frail appearance, the Crimson Vigor contained within his body was no less than that of a Fifth Tier!This elder had once been a Guest Expert of Duke Sovereign's Estate, a powerful Fourth Tier "Mortal-Transcendent." However, having never managed to glimpse the realm of a Third Tier Grandmaster, his Crimson Vigor had e

    The Eastern Ward.Under the osmanthus tree.The snow had already been swept clear. Several young menservants were gathered together, chatting idly."I heard that the Shifting Sands Syndicate and the Gilded Tide Syndicate on Five Steeds Alley had a turf war last night. Dozens of people died. It was so bad the Constables of the Five Wards were alarmed and had to send people over in the middle of the night to suppress it.""Yeah, I heard about that too. Word is, someone working under the head of the Shifting Sands Syndicate slept with his favorite concubine. When they got found out, the guy took a few others and defected to the Gilded Tide Syndicate. Tsk tsk."As the menservants gossiped, maids and servant girls occasionally passed by.Little Yan approached from another direction. As she walked past, she caught snippets of their conversation. Uninterested, she didn't stop to listen and continued walking.But just then, she heard someone
