man behind the scene

" scandal between Shi yue  and wu shen have been exposed to Wang Kai ; a reward has been prepared , do you wish to retrieve "

"Retrieve," he mumbled in his sleep, the remnants of a dream clinging to his mind.

"Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 50 years of cultivation  ; 10 years of alchemy experience"

As a massive surge of memories instantaneously flooded into his mind, making Chen Yang  jump from his bed .

A jolt of surprise coursing through him as a tidal wave of memories slammed into his consciousness. Disoriented, he blinked rapidly, his gaze darting around the familiar room..

A pleasant warmth bloomed within him, spreading through his limbs like a comforting fire. It was a sensation akin to the breakthrough he'd experienced reaching the fifth realm of body tempering, yet somehow different.

"System, what's happening?" he blurted out, a tremor of apprehension lacing his voice.

" Host is in process of receiving reward "the system replied in its usual monotone.

Relief washed over Chen Yang. He settled back into the bed, savoring the warmth that pulsed through his body, the feeling of growing stronger, and the knowledge of newfound alchemical expertise settling in his mind.

An hour later, the warmth subsided. Chen Yang flexed, the newfound power thrumming beneath his skin.

He had rocketed from the fifth realm of body tempering to the tenth, a mere step away from achieving the coveted qi condensation realm.

" I am just step away from reaching qi condensation realm, as for alchemy I can only able to make pills after reaching  qi condensation realm"

...,.....

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Qinfeng city.

A tempest brewed within the grand hall of the Wang Clan. The clan head, Wang Hai, his face thunderous, gripped a parchment in his hand, its contents radiating an undeniable menace.

A figure clad in black materialized before him, a wraith-like apparition. "Clan leader," he rasped, bowing low. "The information is true. That insolent pup of the Wu Clan dared to silence our guard! This is a blatant affront to the Wang Clan!"

Wang Hai's hand tightened around the parchment, knuckles turning white. "Good, good. The young master of the Wu Clan thinks he can play with us? He'll learn a harsh lesson," he growled, his voice laced with icy fury.

"Wang Xing!" he bellowed, his voice echoing through the hall.

Another black-clad figure materialized with a silent bow. "At your command, clan leader."

"Take the first and third elders. Bring me the head of that Wu whelp!" Wang Hai commanded, his voice dripping with murderous intent.

The figure vanished from the hall like smoke, leaving no trace behind.

...

The next morning ,

Chen Yang hunched over his desk, meticulously crafting a letter. After a moment's hesitation, he folded it neatly and tucked it into his pocket. With a determined glint in his eye, he darted out, weaving through the bustling streets until he reached a secluded alley..

Donning a crude chicken mask, he approached the entrance of the Wu Clan compound. Finding a lone guard, a man reeking of boredom and emanating an aura of sixth-realm body tempering, Chen Yang thrust the letter into his hand.

"Deliver this to your clan head," he declared, his voice muffled by the mask. "Any delay and he'll have your hide for a lampshade." With that, he vanished into thin air, leaving the bewildered guard staring after him, the letter clutched in his sweaty palm.

Looking blankly at the letter and unsure what to do, he asked another guard, "What do you think we should do?"

"What is there to think about? Just give it to the clan clan master; if the information in the letter is important, we can not bear the consequences."

Meanwhile, Chen Yang, having shed his disguise, made a beeline for his usual spot in the pavilion.

Just as he was about to delve into a scroll, the system chimed in his head.

"Plan to assassinate Wu Shen by Wang Kai exposed; reward prepared. Retrieve?"

"No " A sly grin spread across Chen Yang's face. Discretion being the better part of valor, especially with so many prying eyes around, he decided to wait until he was home before claiming his reward..

The day wore on as Chen Yang meticulously reviewed accounts, his mind buzzing with anticipation. By the time he finished, twilight had painted the sky in hues of orange and purple.

As he prepared to leave, he spotted Zhang Hao hurrying through the pavilion.

" Brother Zhang, where are you rushing off to in such a frenzy?" Chen Yang inquired, stopping him in his tracks.

"Oh, brother Chen, you haven't heard? A calamity has befallen us today!" Zhang Hao exclaimed, his voice laced with worry.

"Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. "Calamity? Do elaborate."

"The bodies of the Wang Clan's four elders were found hanging at the entrance of the Wu Clan compound! It seems war is brewing between the two clans," Zhang Hao revealed, his face etched with concern.

"Yikes! It wouldn't be wise to linger at night. You should head home too, brother Chen,"

A mischievous glint sparked in Chen Yang's eyes. "War, huh? Sounds like things are getting interesting," he chuckled, trying to sound nonchalant despite the thrill coursing through him.

Zhang Hao shot him a bewildered look. "Interesting? This is a serious situation, brother Chen! We could be caught in the crossfire."

After arriving at his house, he decided to accept the reward.

"Don't worry, I can handle myself," Chen Yang winked, his playful demeanor masking the churning excitement within.

He couldn't help but feel a surge of satisfaction. His little meddling had no doubt thrown a massive wrench into the Wang Clan's plans.

After Zhang Hao scurried off, a wide grin stretched across Chen Yang's face. He practically skipped his way home, the weight of the day's events adding a spring to his step.

Reaching his humble abode, he bolted the door shut, a sense of anticipation tingling in his fingertips.

Alright, system, let's see what goodies we have this time," he declared, rubbing his hands together.

"Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 60 Golden Coins (remember, no brothels!),

Ordinary Black Robe (finally, some variety in my wardrobe!),

Chen Yang's jaw nearly hit the floor. This was a treasure trove beyond his wildest dreams! With a surge of excitement, he accepted the reward.

In this world  skill and cultivation technique are categorized into various classes, ranking from highest to lowest classes.

Yellow tier ,black tier , earth tier ,sky tier. 

And further sub divided by low , mid, and top

The world seemed to shimmer for a moment, and then... knowledge. A vast ocean of information flooded his mind, details about the skill and technique etching themselves permanently into his being.

He clenched and unclenched his fists, a sense of exhilaration washing over him. He was no longer the same Chen Yang. He was stronger, faster, and possessed the knowledge to become a true force to be reckoned with.

A hearty laugh erupted from his lips, echoing through the small room. "Leaking secrets is definitely the best business in the world!" he exclaimed, reveling in the power he wielded from the shadows.

Just then, a booming voice shattered the tranquility, sending shivers down Chen Yang's spine.

"Brat! What are you laughing about in there? Let me catch you once and I'll show you the best way to get to hell!" It was Uncle Tao, his gruff voice laden with mock threat.
