Getting Pointers

In the Kingdom of Yu, within the Yun'ao Chaos State.

Deep in an ancient mountain range, there was a tribe that lived and thrived. However, at this moment, the tribal gathering place was eerily silent, with tens of thousands of beings lying motionless.

Suddenly—

A wisp of energy emerged from each of these tens of thousands of beings, combining into a single figure cloaked in gray. His face was entirely hidden by his robe.

"The minds of these tens of thousands of beings in this tribe are too weak. My bloodline devoured their consciousness without any resistance," the gray-robed figure shook his head lightly. "Even if I devoured billions of such weak True Gods, it would hardly benefit me."

"I still need some precious resources. If I could absorb the essence blood of a Chaos-level beast, that would be far more beneficial," he pondered.

"Following the path of bloodline cultivation to become a Chaos Sovereign is extremely difficult."

The path of bloodline cultivation is easy in the early stages, but as one progresses, the demand for resources increases exponentially. Throughout the Origin Continent, the limit for bloodline cultivation is the 'Chaos Sovereign Realm.' Breaking through to Chaos Sovereign naturally comes with immense challenges.

"Hmm?" The gray-robed figure flipped his hand and took out a karmic communication token. He wasn't worried about being tracked through karma because the lofty Chaos Sovereigns wouldn't bother with him, and as for Eternal True Gods?

To him, Eternal True Gods were merely his prey!

"Jiujang Chaos State, Huyang City, Luo He? He killed the leader of a dark force in Huyang City, 'Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang,' and possesses at least two mechanical flow treasures, possibly valued at over 6.5 million Universe Sand?" The gray-robed figure was tempted.

"When it comes to ambushes and assassinations, very few Eternal True Gods can escape from me," the gray-robed figure was confident.

He had wandered through many Chaos States and had rich experience in dealing with powerful opponents.

"I'll take a trip to Huyang City. Once I arrive, I'll visit Yan Wind Pavilion to investigate Luo He's details before devising an ambush plan." With a movement, the gray-robed figure merged with the surrounding space and disappeared.

He was traveling at a terrifying speed, cutting across the void and heading straight for Huyang City in Jiujang Chaos State.

Meanwhile, in the area he had just left, the bodies of tens of thousands of beings silently disintegrated.

Many tribes living in the wilderness yearn to reside in large cities. This is because, in the wilderness, disaster can strike unexpectedly.

A terrifying beast passing by could swallow an entire tribe in one gulp.

A wandering Eternal True God, seeking cultivation, wealth, or simply an outlet for frustration, could easily wipe out a tribe with a single gesture.

Only by living within the city walls can one have a stable life.

In Huyang City.

"Brother Entropy, do you have time? I'll treat you at Fire World Restaurant," Luo Feng contacted Shang Tianyan.

"If Brother Luo He is treating, there isn't a single Eternal True God in Huyang City who wouldn't jump at the chance! Of course, I have time! I can head out right now!" Shang Tianyan replied enthusiastically.

"Haha, alright, see you at Fire World Restaurant soon," Luo Feng liked Shang Tianyan's straightforward personality.

After agreeing on the meeting, Luo Feng immediately set off with Morosa and Mo Yuqingyan.

In a flying boat.

Morosa, sitting nearby, said, "Master, Shang Tianyan is just an ordinary Eternal True God. Why do you give him so much face?"

In Morosa's view, his master, Luo Feng, who could enslave a realm beast and was a Perfect God Body, was undoubtedly a genius among geniuses. There was no need for his master to pay much attention to ordinary Eternal True Gods.

"Making friends isn't just about strength," Luo Feng replied.

"Really?" Morosa didn't quite understand. In his eyes, those ordinary Eternal True Gods were just food.

"Moreover, when I interact with Brother Shang, it's actually me who benefits," Luo Feng said. "I often ask him about weapon crafting techniques, and he always helps me without reservation."

Morosa said, "Master asking him for help is his great fortune."

Mo Yuqingyan, who was listening nearby, didn't dare to interrupt.

He was often puzzled by the fact that although his master was extremely powerful, the subordinate Lord Rosha, who was merely a Void True God, spoke so casually.

"Master is too kind, that's why he tolerates Lord Rosha's rudeness," Mo Yuqingyan thought to himself. He wouldn't dare show any disrespect.

"Qingyan," Luo Feng called out.

"Yes, Master," Mo Yuqingyan responded with utmost respect.

"I heard from Mo Li Meng that your father, 'Mo Yuhu,' has taken up a position in the City Lord's Mansion?" Luo Feng asked.

Mo Yuqingyan replied, "My father also asked me to express his gratitude to you, Master, once you came out of seclusion. I've been looking for an opportunity to mention it."

"Gratitude? Mo Yuhu is quite courteous," Luo Feng nodded.

"My father has always been dedicated to us three brothers. When I was fortunate enough to follow you, Master, my father also found a way to get my eldest brother into the Zhu Clan and my youngest brother into the Tianyan Sect," Mo Yuqingyan said.

"After you killed the Blood Python Society Leader, Master, my father was recruited into the City Lord's Mansion. My eldest brother also skyrocketed within the Zhu Clan, being accepted as a disciple by the Eternal True God 'Zhu You,'" Mo Yuqingyan explained.

Luo Feng was surprised, "An Eternal True God from the Zhu Clan, 'Zhu You,' accepted your eldest brother as a disciple?"

"Yes," Mo Yuqingyan nodded. "My father said that whether it's the City Lord's Mansion or the Zhu Clan, they're all trying to connect with you, Master. But there are few people in Huyang City who have any connection to you, so they've bestowed favour upon my family."

Luo Feng chuckled.

Indeed, he only had two subordinates, Morosa and Mo Yuqingyan.

Various factions could only approach him through the Mo Yu family, which had drastically changed the Mo Yu family's fate.

"And your youngest brother?" Luo Feng asked.

"He's still learning basic skills in the Tianyan Sect," Mo Yuqingyan replied. "The Tianyan Sect has strict requirements for crafting techniques, and he must learn from the basics step by step."

Luo Feng nodded, "Your father made good choices. The Tianyan Sect has a good reputation, and their sect leader, Shang Tianyan, is my friend. The Zhu Clan is also the most powerful native family in Huyang City. Your father was very thoughtful to place one child in the Tianyan Sect and another in the Zhu Clan."

The City Lord's Mansion's five great families were not native to Huyang City.

They were either branches of the God King families or branches of the Chaos Sovereign families.

The strongest native family, which had rooted itself in Huyang City and thrived there, was the Zhu Clan. The Zhu Clan focused on business and didn't get involved in dark forces, but they were extremely powerful.

In Huyang City, those capable of killing the Blood Python Society Leader were few and far between. But the head of the Zhu Clan, 'Zhu Gu,' was one of them!

In terms of strength, none of the five great families could claim to be stronger than the Zhu Clan. However, in terms of background, the five great families had immense backgrounds and could summon terrifying beings at any time.

"My father did his best for us three brothers. But his position in the City Lord's Mansion and my eldest brother being taken as a disciple by an Eternal True God, all of this is thanks to you, Master," Mo Yuqingyan said gratefully.

"If you want to thank me, just master the Ten Basic Laws as soon as possible," Luo Feng said.

"Yes," Mo Yuqingyan knew he had encountered an extraordinary opportunity, but it was up to him to seize it!

Mastering the Ten Basic Laws was the first test to become a disciple. He spent over 90% of his time studying the laws, not daring to slack off even slightly. He even tried to please Lord Rosha, hoping to get some guidance.

...

At the Fire World Restaurant.

"Lord!" The Black Butcher eagerly greeted Luo Feng in advance. As time passed, the news that Luo He had killed the Blood Python Society Leader gradually spread from the upper echelons of Huyang City to the middle levels.

The Black Butcher, who ran a restaurant and had access to a wealth of information, had also heard the news.

Moreover, with the Blood Python Society Headquarters in ruins, merchants like him who had to pay 'protection fees' had been discussing the situation extensively.

"Haha…" Luo Feng looked at the Black Butcher's excited expression and teased, "Black Butcher, has the Blood Python Society waived your protection fee?"

"The Blood Python Society is gone, so naturally, there's no more protection fee," the Black Butcher replied gratefully. "In fact, the two dark forces fighting over the Blood Python Society's territory both came to tell me that they would waive the protection fee for Fire World Restaurant in the future."

"Two dark forces fighting over the Blood Python Society's territory? Which two?" Luo Feng asked curiously.

"One is Qianshan Tower, and the other is the Six Lords Alliance. But both have been very friendly towards my Fire World Restaurant," the Black Butcher said gratefully. "I know this is all because of you, Lord."

Luo Feng smiled lightly. "They certainly know their place."

"They fear that if they collect protection fees, you'll come and wipe them out," Shang Tianyan said, emerging from a small building nearby. "Brother Luo He, you're slower to arrive than I am for this treat."

"This is as fast as I could go," Luo Feng laughed as he walked over. "Black Butcher, hurry and prepare some food and drinks. Put in some extra effort."

"I'll do my best," the Black Butcher said enthusiastically.

Luo Feng and Shang Tianyan then entered the small building together.

"It must feel like a lot of factions in Huyang City are circling around you now," Shang Tianyan said with a smile. "Huyang City may seem like it has many powerful figures, but in the end, it's always the most powerful that decides everything. And now, you're one of those who influence the order here. The most important thing is that you're unattached, with no family ties! Naturally, many forces want to win you over, and they're willing to pay a high price."

"Trying to win me over? Ordinary offers won't catch my eye," Luo Feng said as he personally poured wine for Shang Tianyan. "Come, have a drink."

"Having Brother Luo He personally pour wine, not many are privileged to taste this," Shang Tianyan said, savoring the moment.

After taking a sip, Shang Tianyan looked outside in surprise.

At that moment, Mo Yuqingyan was naturally standing guard outside the small building, while Morosa was sitting on a large rock not far away, holding a wine jug and drinking, even ordering the Fire World Restaurant to prepare some food.

"Your subordinate is quite laid-back," Shang Tianyan commented.

"He's been with me since I was a True God. Though he's called a subordinate, he's more like a brother," Luo Feng replied. "By the way, I invited you here because I encountered some difficulties with body refinement."

"Body refinement is just a branch of weapon crafting. Feel free to ask whatever you're unsure about," Shang Tianyan said confidently, as he always did when discussing weapon crafting.

One asked, the other answered.

Luo Feng raised questions about some difficulties he encountered in the second stage of body refinement according to the "Chaos Great Force Diagram," and Shang Tianyan, with ease, explained the issues from different angles, making things clear for Luo Feng.
