    Trantor: 549690339


    Amid a wave of discussions about Yang Zhen, before the Dan Rewarding Convention began, a piece of news suddenly emerged, which shook the whole


    East Forest Ind.


    Elder Ci had returned and would personally preside over this Dan Rewarding Convention. Moreover, a prominent person was apanying him.


    For a while, there was a frenzy of spections about the identities of these few people on East Forest Ind, causing quite a stir.


    “Have you heard? Those who areing this time are all young geniuses, each and every one blessed by the heavens. They are less than twenty years old but have already be formidable practitioners in thete-stage of the Nascent


    Soul Stage.”


    “Nascent Soul Stage at the age of twenty?”


    “Exactly, but it’s not surprising at all. Wouldn’t one expect someone who can apany Elder Ci to be extraordinary?”


    “I heard one of them could be a direct disciple from some Cave Heaven Blessed


    Land, who came seeking a coboration opportunity.


    “Coboration? What kind of coboration?”


    “Presumably in regards to elixirs. After all, what else could East Forest Ind be famous for other than its elixirs?


    All sorts of news buzzed about, even eclipsing the topic of Yang Zhen and the cheeky cat. For a while, everyone was on edge with anticipation.


    These young geniuses must have a significant background, otherwise, they wouldn’t have returned with Elder Ci. Moreover, it was rumored that these individuals hade to buy elixirs.


    Upon hearing this news, all the practitioners on East Forest Ind were stirred, especially those who had spirit elixirs or peculiar medicines, and practitioners who had obtained unidentified elixirs from some ancient ruins,


    were all excited.


    The more potent a direct disciple of Cave Heaven Blessed Land is, the less likely they are tock crystals. If their elixir catches their eyes, it canmand a sky-high price. Overnight, one could be extremely wealthy and worry-free about resources for cultivation for years toe.


    There were many people, whose minds were filled with such expectations, these sentiments had driven up the prices of precious elixirs on East Forest


    Ind by sixfold within three days!


    At this moment, who would still care about matters concerning Yang Zhen? Instead, the quiet rivalry between East Forest Elixir Association and Changyue


    Tower attracted much attention.


    The most famous thing about East Forest Ind is its elixirs, and East Forest Elixir Association had a long-standing and firmly entrenched presence here. At a point, it almost monopolized the market.


    Now that Changyue Tower had arrived, an increasing number of practitioners hoped that the new establishment couldpete with the East Forest Elixir Association. This way, the price of the elixirs would inevitably drop, and the quality would progressively improve.


    On the other hand, there were also quite a number of people with ulterior motives, hoping that East Forest Elixir Association could shatter Changyue Tower’s dreams. After all, the elixir industry of East Forest Ind had already developed a certain scale, and people were familiar with their rules.


    Nevertheless, East Forest Elixir Association and Changyue Tower had been making preparations relentlessly. To make a name for themselves at this Dan Rewarding Convention, both parties pulled all the stops.


    in reality, very few people were aware of how Changyue Tower was, in fact, all bark and no bite. A fight against a behemoth like East Forest Elixir Association wasn’t something that could be achieved in a few years.


    Over the past few days, Hua Youyue was starting to look slightly haggard. Looking out the window, she turned to the Medicine Elder beside her and asked, “Has everything for Changyue Tower been prepared?


    Medicine Elder nodded and replied, “Everything is in ce, it’s just…


    “Just what?” Hua Youyue asked, her expression tense.


    Medicine Elder let out a sigh and said, “Compared to the well-established East Forest Elixir Association, we seem to be somewhat inadequate in various


    aspects.”


    Hua Youyue chuckled lightly and tiredly responded, “There’s no need for us topare ourselves to them. As long as we can hold our ground, that’s already a


    victory.”


    At this point, Hua Youyue turned her head and looked at the Medicine Elder, asking, “By the way, where has Yang Zhen been these few days?”


    Medicine Elder gave a shake of his head and said hesitantly, I have been so busy that my head is spinning, and I haven’t seen that kid Yang Zhen for


    several days.”


    A faint smile graced the corners of Hua Youyue’s mouth as she nodded and said, “It’s rare for him to be so quiet. As long as he doesn’t make any more messes, that’s good. Lately, there’s been an onught of news on East Forest Ind, rumors about Yang Zhen have significantly lessened.


    Medicine Elder nodded in agreement, “That is indeed good news!”


    After a moment of silence, Hua Youyue, sparked by curiosity, asked, “Are those who returned with Elder Ci truly disciples of Heavenly Mystery Cave Sky?


    A glint of delight shed in the eyes of Medicine Elder, who responded, “The news has been confirmed. They are indeed disciples of Heavenly Mystery Cave


    Sky!”


    Hua Youyue was slightly taken aback, she responded solemnly, “Heavenly Mystery Cave Sky is arguably one of the most potent sects along the Coast of the East Sea. Even their disciples are of high status and reputation abroad. They are always the center of attention and highly revered wherever they go. If we can coborate with them, we won’t have to worry about our standing on


    East Forest Ind.”


    Medicine Elder sighed and said, “I had the same thoughts. It’s just that these disciples of powerful forces are all filled with pride. To get them to ept us, let alone coborate, wouldn’t be a simple task.”


    Hua Youyue simply smiled and said, “We will just do our best. Even if we fail, we will not necessarily lose.”


    The days passed one by one, and the Dan Rewarding Convention on East Forest Ind was getting closer. The news of the disciples from Heavenly Mystery Cave Skying to East Forest Ind had spread and been confirmed. Plenty of discussions were taking ce.


    “I’ve heard that the son of heavenly blessings from Heavenly Mystery Cave Sky is alsoing. This really is a grand event.”


    “And there is also Lady of Water Moon Spirit, Fang Ling Er, who is also a genius blessed by heaven. At just seventeen years old, she is already a strong practitioner in the Nascent Soul Stage ₉thyers. Honestly, these disciples from Cave Heaven Blessed Land are far more formidable than our local


    geniuses.”


    “Of course, the resources they cultivate in a single day are probably more than what we can have in a month. I wonder how their talentspare with Yang


    Zhen.”


    “Yang Zhen?”


    “Speaking of which, why has there been no news from Yang Zhen? He couldn’t have left East Forest Ind, could he?”


    “Who knows? I heard that a genius on Wanhua Ind has crafted a Spiritual Level artifact, perhaps he went there to watch the excitement.


    “My goodness, a Spiritual Level artifact?”


    In the blink of an eye, another two days went by, and the Dan Rewarding Convention on East Forest Ind officially kicked off. A spirited crowd converged at therge venue on East Forest Ind. Various factions divided into their respective territories, while rogue practitioners gathered in one corner. It was a lively scene.


    Just as everyone had spected and confirmed, the genius disciples who returned with Elder Ci were indeed the direct disciples of Heavenly Mystery Cave Sky. Each one of them stood out from the crowd, causing a tremendous sensation as soon as they appeared.


    Although these gifted children were arrogant, they were not standoffish; their faces always held a leisurely and carefree expression.


    The moment Elder Ci and the disciples from Heavenly Mystery Cave Sky arrived, the entire venue was utterly inmed with excitement!


    “Look, that’s the Lady of Water Moon Spirit, Fang Ling Er! She’s as beautiful as a goddess, not one bit inferior to Hua Youyue.”


    “Master of Flower Tower, Hua Youyue, is indeed a heavenly beauty. It’s just a pity she wasn’t admitted to a Cave Heaven Blessed Land.”


    “The Master of the Flower Tower is already rather old. How can shepare with the young, and equally powerful, Lady of Water Moon Spirit who naturally grabs attention!”


    Amid the buzz of discussion among the crowd, no one noticed the two sneaky figures in the corner of the public arena making their way inside.


    “Cheeky Cat, have you memorized the slogan I asked you to recite yet? If anything goes wrongter, don’t you fucking ask me for food.”


    “Are you looking down on me?”


    “Yes, I am!”


    “Get lost! If it weren’t for the promised meal, would I ever agree to recite such. shameful slogan?”


    -What the fuck, why is it shameful? If you won’t do it, I’ll do it myself!”


    “Wait, I was just messing around!”


    “Let’s go!”


    The East Forest ‘Scoundrel Duo’, sneakily entered the convention..
