And so, after a long journey through mountains and rivers, the Song Family Caravan and others arrived in MO City.
Upon their arrival in MO City and seeing that Yang Chen was about to leave,
Song Chen said sadly, “Big Brother Yang Chen, do you really have to go? Our Song Family has a residence in MO City and will stay there for some time. Why don’t you join us?
Upon hearing this, Song Chang hurriedly scolded, “Song Chen, Yang Chen, my friend, has his own matters to attend to. Your reluctance to let him go will only make things difficult for him.”
Yang Chen knew what Song Chang meant; Song Chang clearly didn’t intend to let him stay.
It wasn’t surprising, as his identity and background were astonishing, and the fact that the Liaocheng City Lord Mansion was enough to deter the Song Family Chamber of Commerce meant that it was normal for them not to want to keep him. In reality, he didn’t plan on staying with the Song Family Chamber of Commerce either. Upon arriving in MO City, he had his own plans.
The only thing he was reluctant to leave behind was Song Chen.
This “little guy” had such an extraordinary alchemy talent, which truly delighted him.
Thinking of this, Yang Chen smiled and said, “Song Chen, come here!” “Big Brother Yang Chen, you…” Song Chen was puzzled.
Yang Chen smiled and then took out the Alchemy Treasure Technique that he had been working on for a while from his pocket. “Take this. I have received your care all the way. This can be considered as a gift from your big brother.” “This is…” Song Chen looked at the jade slip with his mind full of questions.
Yang Chen spoke gently, “This is an alchemy treasure technique I’ve compiled. You don’t have much talent in martial arts, so you could focus on the alchemy lineage instead. Captain Song Chang should also cultivate Song Chen’s alchemy skills, right?”
“Of course, of course!” Although Song Chang didn’t quite understand Yang Chen’s intentions, he would give Yang Chen face since he spoke up. Cultivating a bit for the Song Family Chamber of Commerce was not much of a sacrifice.
Moreover, with Yang Chen’s extraordinary background, the value of this alchemy treasure technique was bound to be amazing; there was no way he could overlook it.
This made the nearby members of the Song Family envious and jealous.
If they had only shown respect to Yang Chen earlier, they wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation, right?
Yang Chen’s background was from the Liaocheng City Lord Mansion. How could such an alchemy treasure technique be readily available on the streets?
With his hands behind his back, Yang Chen immediately asked, “Captain Song
Chang, can I have a word with you?”
Song Chang didn’t understand what Yang Chen meant but stepped aside anyway, saying, “What does my friend want to say?”
“There are ten thousand spirit stones in this storage bag,” Yang Chen said after weighing them for a moment. “Take out five thousand to cultivate Song Chen’s alchemy path, and Captain Song Chang can handle the rest. How about that?” Hearing the shocking number of ten thousand spirit stones, Song Chang changed his expression in astonishment. “Yang Chen, my friend, this!”
“Hehe, Captain Song Chang, if you cultivate Song Chen’s alchemy skills a bit, you might find some surprises?” Yang Chen didn’t elaborate, only handing over the ten thousand spirit stones to Song Chang out of concern that he might not follow through.
Song Chang accepted the spirit stones and was bound to cultivate Song Chen to some extent.
By that time, they would naturally realize Song Chen’s terrifying talent in alchemy, so there was no fear that they wouldn’t pay attention to him.
Yang Chen could only do so much for Song Chen. He bid farewell to Captain Song Chang without engaging him in further conversation.
After bidding farewell and leaving, Yang Chen arrived in MO City and planned his next move.
“Young Master, where should we go now?” Gu Mingyue followed Yang Chen closely, her pretty face flushed as she asked.
Yang Chen had his hands behind his back, his thoughts racing.
In fact, Jin Cheng was right. If he wanted to solve the problem of the Ming
Emperor Sect, the best way was undoubtedly to participate in the Genius Selection Competition held in North Mountain County. If he could make a splash in the competition and get noticed by other sects, the Ming Emperor Sect wouldn’t be the only powerful force, and the difficult problems he faced would naturally cease to exist.
Most importantly, to expose the conspiracy and evil deeds of the Canghai Sect Leader colluding with demonic beasts, he first needed to have enough power and influence!
Otherwise, with his current weak and solitary state, his words would carry little weight. Who would take him seriously? He was afraid that the news wouldn’t even have reached the ears of the major sects and clans before he was taken care of by the Canghai Sect.
Therefore, he had to choose between Beishan Main City and Yuanshan Sect, excluding the Canghai Sect among the Three Hegemons.
Of course, the premise was that he had to demonstrate potential that the Three Hegemons would approve of.
“No one knows how talented the geniuses of North Mountain County are.” Yang Chen sighed.
He didn’t have much confidence either, considering the vastness of North Mountain County.
Of course, there was still some time before the Basic Competition of the Genius Selection started, and there was still quite a distance to cover to reach the venue, the Beishan Main City.
While pondering, Yang Chen slowly said, “Let’s find a place to settle down first.”
With that, Yang Chen and Gu Mingyue found an inn that wasn’t too big or small.
The inn wasn’t particularly crowded, but the place across the street was packed, which was quite puzzling.
Yang Chen glanced at it and then entered the inn. Upon entering the inn and finding it nearly empty, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him, “Gentlemen, please come in!”
Yang Chen maintained a calm demeanor, with his hands behind his back, quietly releasing the aura of the Spirit Martial Realm which startled the shopkeeper into a cold sweat. Upon seeing Yang Chen’s martial arts cultivation level, the shopkeeper continued to fawn over him, “To have a Spirit Martial Realm master like you grace my humble establishment truly brings honor to my small inn! ”
Althouqh he had seen quite a few Spirit Martial Realm experts, how manv were as young as Yang Chen?
Yang Chen took out a bag of spirit stones from his chest without any hurry.
“Here are three hundred spirit stones, enough for a few days, right?”
Seeing Yang Chen’s generous hand, the shopkeeper’s eyes gleamed. “Enough, absolutely enough.”
“Hehe, don’t be so hasty; these spirit stones aren’t just for accommodation. Tell me something truthfully, and you won’t miss out on any benefits,” said Yang
Chen.
How could the shopkeeper dare to equivocate? With the spirit stones in hand, he would naturally talk if he had something to say. “Sir, what do you want to ask?”
“Your inn is so deserted, but it’s very lively across the street. What are all these people gathering for?” Yang Chen asked curiously. Upon arriving in MO City, he naturally needed to understand the layout of the city and figure out what he could and could not do. This was a necessary rule for people in the Jianghu world.
Upon hearing Yang Chen’s inquiry, the shopkeeper was slightly taken aback.
“Sir, don’t you know about this? This news has been circulating for days. Miss Zhou from the Zhou Family encountered some problems while cultivating, which has caused great distress to everyone in the Zhou Family. Even several Dan Medical practitioners were invited, but not only did they fail to solve the problem, they actually worsened Miss Zhou’s condition, So, they issued a notice offering a reward of ten thousand spirit stones to anyone who could solve Miss Zhou’s problem, as well as fulfilling the beneficiary’s request.”
“Everybody is talking about it. But if the Dan Medical practitioners couldn’t solve it, who could? Most people are just there to watch the excitement..”
