Chapter 1 The Dawn

The red sun rises, its path shines brightly, its glorious light pouring down like a vast ocean.

Blue Water Town in the early morning begins another busy day.

All kinds of vendors set up their stalls one after another, and more people leave the town, either to fish for spirit fish along the hanging iron cable bridges, or to collect medicinal herbs in the mountains and forests, or to weed and remove insects in the 'spirit fields' of Blue Water Town.

The entire Blue Water Town, with hundreds of thousands of residents, and even more drifters, are all busy.

Of course, the Lan family's construction of the city to take in refugees is not for charity, but to use the power of a city to support a family's cultivation.

The resources consumed by martial arts cultivation are unimaginably huge every day. 'Ten thousand people support one cultivator' is not just a saying.

Creak~

Lin Gou pushed open the door, and the noise poured into his ears.

He listened carefully, and the sounds of hundreds of conversations on the long street had already entered his ears. His practiced form was that of a Long-Eared Spirit Elephant, which not only possessed the divine power of a giant elephant, but also the ability to listen to all sounds.

"Three hundred zhang away, there is the sound of flames burning in Yuan Duxiu's residence, but it doesn't seem to be for cooking spirit food..."

Lin Gou frowned slightly: "There are two breaths in the courtyard, one short and rapid, which should be Yuan Duxiu. He was injured by Second Master. The remaining one is faint and long, which is a bit strange..."

He muttered to himself, telling his companions what he had heard.

They had been staring at Yuan Duxiu for more than ten days.

"Nothing strange. It should be Yuan Duxiu's younger brother, a posthumous child who died a few days ago and was dug out. The faint breath means he's dying soon."

Lin Quan didn't think much of it.

Although Yuan Duxiu was originally a person of some importance, his martial arts were crippled. Even if he could rebuild, he couldn't make much progress in a month.

"Eh?"

At this moment, Lin Gou suddenly let out a soft cry, "That Yuan Duxiu is out, and seems to be coming towards us."

"Oh?"

Lin Quan raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Although his martial arts are crippled, he is much more alert than before."

"It's good to see him."

Lin Gou also smiled.

Although Second Master didn't allow him to take action in Blue Water City, and he didn't have the guts to do so, he wasn't afraid.

The two didn't care, and the subordinates behind them cared even less.

A cripple, what's there to be afraid of?

Three hundred zhang is certainly not far. Even an ordinary person can walk back and forth three or four times in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. Before long, they saw Yuan Duxiu walking slowly but steadily at the end of the long street.

And the half-foot-tall little old man sitting on Yuan Duxiu's shoulder.

"Are you really going to do this?"

Yuan Duxiu was still a little unwilling.

Lin Yanbai and he had a deep-seated hatred, so why would he be willing to hand over the Extinction Law True Form Diagram to him?

"A mere Extinction Law True Form Diagram, whoever wants it can have it. What's so great about it?"

An Qisheng was very calm.

The more hierarchical a world is, the more some people value 'law', and they will never pass it on lightly.

The Jiu Fu Realm is like this, the Human Realm is like this, and this Myriad Yang Realm is also the same.

In fact, in ancient times on Xuanxing, even learning cross-talk required three years of apprenticeship and two years of service. You might not even be able to become a master in seven years.

The restrictions in other industries are even greater. There are as many unspoken rules as hairs on a cow, such as 'passing on to sons but not to apprentices', 'passing on to males but not to females', 'daughters not marrying outside the family', and 'intermarriage among clansmen'.

For the Myriad Yang Realm, law is the best way to drive and exploit disciples, so it cannot be easily passed on.

But of course, An Qisheng wouldn't care. Compared to 'service', he cares more about whether he can gain something.

Wouldn't a flash of inspiration like Su Jie's be much better than having millions of people working for him?

He doesn't mind spreading his own laws, let alone a mere 'Extinction Law True Form Diagram'.

"Sigh."

Yuan Duxiu sighed in his heart, unable to resist his peerless little brother.

He walked towards Lin Gou and the others, who were leaning against the wall and looking at him with a smile.

Lin Yanbai has many subordinates, the most well-known of which are Gou (Dog), Quan (Dog), and Ao (Mastiff).

As martial arts have evolved to this day, the former 'nourishing qi to refine form' and 'external scene combining with spirit form' has become four steps: nourishing qi, refining form, external scene, and spirit form.

Among these three, Lin Ao has entered the External Scene realm, preparing for the Spirit Form, and the other two are also at the Refining Form cultivation level.

With every move, they have tens of thousands of pounds of brute force. Killing tigers and wolves with their fingers and punching rhinoceros to death are commonplace.

"Young Master Yuan, it's been a long time."

Seeing Yuan Duxiu come forward, Lin Gou's gaze paused on An Qisheng for a moment, then he smiled kindly: "But I forgot, you bit off your tongue and can't speak."

Yuan Duxiu didn't want to talk to these people. He went straight to the point. He hooked and drew with his foot, drawing a line of words on the ground: "Extinction Law True Form Diagram, I can give it to Lin Yanbai."

"Hmm?"

"Huh?"

Lin Gou and the other looked at each other, both a little surprised.

They thought Yuan Duxiu, this hard bone, was here to utter harsh words, but they didn't expect that he would be willing to hand over the Extinction Law True Form Diagram.

"That's not right."

Lin Gou sneered: "Didn't you give the Extinction Law True Form Diagram to Young Master Lan in exchange for protection? Do you want to deceive us?"

Yuan Duxiu's gaze was indifferent. He hooked and drew with his foot, writing a line of words: "The 'Extinction Law True Form Diagram' is both a 'law' and a 'treasure'. If the 'treasure' is gone, there is still 'law'. Your master probably won't tell you dogs these things."

"You!"

Several people were furious.

Yuan Duxiu didn't care about their anger at all. He drew another line of words with his foot, turned around, and left.

Not to mention that Lan Shuixian was still in the city at this time, even if he wasn't, these few lackeys wouldn't have the guts to lay a hand on him.

Not to mention insults, even if they killed him, they wouldn't dare to hurt a single hair on his head!

"One hundred thousand True Form Pills? One thousand Spirit Form Pills?!"

Lin Gou and the others suppressed their anger. When they saw the words on the ground, they immediately cursed: "Yuan Duxiu, are you crazy? Who do you think you are?!"

Mortals use gold and silver as currency, and cultivators exchange pills.

True Form Pills and Spirit Form Pills are the most basic pills and the most widely circulated, but their value is also extremely high!

Law and Pills are the most important things in cultivation. Without one, it is difficult to walk the path!

One Spirit Form Pill can be exchanged for one hundred True Form Pills, or one hundred taels of gold. And one tael of gold, if in troubled times, can buy a beautiful young girl!

The high price made them dumbfounded, followed by great anger and stomping feet.

But Yuan Duxiu no longer paid attention to them and walked into the crowd.

"This Yuan Duxiu is really wishful thinking!"

Lin Quan gritted his teeth, his eyes a little red.

The reason he was angry was because, under the current circumstances, Second Master was very likely to agree.

But he had never seen so many pills in his life.

A cripple, how dare he ask for such a price?

"Can't give it to him, definitely can't give it to him! Kill him, and the things will still be Second Master's!"

"Yes, can't give it to him!"

"We must find a way to kill this greedy dog!"

Behind him, the others also cursed, wishing they could tear Yuan Duxiu apart immediately. Most of them only had a quota of ten True Form Pills a month.

A cripple, how dare he ask for so much?

"Alright!"

Lin Gou waved his hand, stopping the anger of the crowd. He said with a沉着 face, "Whether to give or not is Second Master's business, and has nothing to do with us." (沉着 - Chenzhe, meaning calm, composed)

He took a deep look at the direction where Yuan Duxiu disappeared and ordered two people to report.

Whether to give or not is not up to them.

No matter how angry or jealous they were, they would not dare not to report.

......

"Is this price too low?"

In the crowd, Yuan Duxiu asked silently in his heart.

The 'Extinction Law True Form Diagram' is, after all, an object passed down from ancient times. Even if it is just the 'law', this price is very low.

"It's better for the price to be lower."

An Qisheng swayed his little legs and said slowly, "Anyway, we're going for volume."

Volume?

Yuan Duxiu was stunned at first, then horrified: "You, you, you want to sell one law multiple times?!"

Selling one law multiple times is very taboo!

Selling the 'law' by skipping Lan Shuixian was already something that might anger the Lan family. If he sold one law multiple times and was discovered, wouldn't he offend a large number of people?

"Otherwise, why sell it at a bargain price?"

An Qisheng said quietly:

"People all have the mentality of cherishing their own brooms. If they obtain the law, they will not tell others. For the time being, there should be no possibility of exposure..."

"What if it's exposed..."

Yuan Duxiu's scalp was a little numb.

The price of one hundred thousand True Form Pills and one thousand Spirit Form Pills is of course very cheap compared to the 'Extinction Law True Form Diagram', but such a large sum of pills is not something ordinary people can take out.

It's not a good thing to deceive such people.

"What if it's exposed? Isn't there still Lan Shuixian?"

An Qisheng smiled: "He said he would protect you for ten years, so it must be ten years."

"......"

Yuan Duxiu thought for a long time with a worried expression, finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and asked, "Who do you say we should sell it to?"

Many people in Ding Tian City can take out one hundred thousand True Form Pills and one thousand Spirit Form Pills, but Blue Water City is not Ding Tian City after all. It seems that not many families can take out such a large sum of pills.

"Don't underestimate Blue Water City."

Deep in An Qisheng's eyes, many lights and shadows appeared. These were various information about Blue Water City: "There are definitely more people who can afford it than you think..."

Although he has only been in Blue Water City for a month, he possesses the Dream Entry Technique. His understanding of Blue Water City is probably even greater than that of the Lan family, who have been stationed here for two hundred years.

Blue Water City, or rather this Ding Tian Prefecture, is really a mixed place.

"You, how do you know?"

Yuan Duxiu was a little suspicious.

Talent in cultivation can still be explained by pre-birth wisdom, but in these thirty days, his little brother has not been out of the house. How does he seem to know Blue Water City like the back of his hand?

"Listen to my guidance."

An Qisheng instructed in his heart: "Thirteenth house north of South Street, on the surface it's a pawnshop, but in secret it's the stronghold of the Emotion Severing Path of the Evil Limit Mountain... Fourth house of East Street, an sesame oil mill, is the stronghold of the Law Refining Platform... The divine weapon shop in front of you is the stronghold of the Ling Tian Sect of East Continent..."

Yuan Duxiu looked around, somewhat incredulously looking at the ordinary shops, feeling unbelievable.

These shops are actually so important?

An Qisheng patted Yuan Duxiu's head: "Go, sell them one by one. Don't ask for anything else, just pills."

"Evil Limit Mountain, Emotion Severing Path, Law Refining Platform, Ling Tian Sect..."

Silently reciting this series of familiar names, a deep chill suddenly rose in Yuan Duxiu's heart:

"Young Master Lan, the ten years you spoke of..."

"Must be honored..."

......

The Rolling Lai Long River, surging for eight thousand miles.

Each Water Dragon Wood rises tens of zhang from the water, supporting the hundred-zhang City Lord's Mansion.

In the City Lord's Mansion, in that independent pavilion, Lan Shuixian was playing chess with his junior brother.

Playing chess with Lan Shuixian was a small child no more than three chi tall, wearing red and green clothes, with a melon-rind hairstyle, looking like he was only five or six years old.

The child's face was exquisite, his skin was fair and full of vigor, and his eyes were big and bright, looking extremely intelligent.

"I don't know how the news from the sect was leaked. It's clearly Senior Brother's opportunity, but those bastards insist on being jealous and coming to compete."

Mo Baobao was a little unhappy: "I heard that Fa Wu She of the Emotion Severing Path has also come. If I see him this time, I must let him know how powerful I am!"

"Opportunities are ownerless, and the capable will occupy them. Before it's in hand, it's too early to say whose it is."

Lan Shuixian was very indifferent, seemingly not caring too much: "It's you, Baobao. The trip to Qian Mountain is a mixed bag, and there seem to be experts from the Demonic Sect. If something happens to you, even if there is really an opportunity in Qian Mountain, it would be greatly unworthy."

"Senior Brother's Divine Body is about to be completed. No one in the younger generation of East Continent will be your opponent. If you 'Embrace the Moon with a Dragon', and achieve the Divine King Body among the Divine Bodies, then you will be the first true disciple in the sect!" (来龙揽月 - Lai Long Lan Yue, a martial arts technique)

Mo Baobao seemed to admire Lan Shuixian very much, and his tone was full of admiration.

"The Divine King Body may not be better than Senior Brother's innate Human King Body. Don't mention the first true disciple."

Lan Shuixian shook his head slightly.

Halfway through his words, Lan Shuixian seemed to sense something and raised his head. He couldn't help but frown:

"It seems that someone is scheming against me..."
