Chapter 1505 - 161 - 167

Chapter 161: The abduction plan

The trial quota had been filled and the Great Games were over!

Out of the six precious trial quotas, the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families acquired none of them. In the end, the hopeless Yun Family had stolen one which made people feel like crying.

"Brother Chu has saved our lives once in the Blackwind Stronghold and now you've even given us this large opportunity. This kind of favour, we will never forget!" Lin Mu and Fang Han came forward to pay their respects to Chu Tian, "The Underworld Mercenaries wishes to join under the Miracle Commerce Flag, we will work to the bone for Brother Chu!"

Feng Han added, "Back in the Blackwind Village, Brother Chu had said that he had a large job for us and we have kept that in our heart for a long time. Now that we have made our decision, I hope Brother Chu won't reject us."

Was the trial opportunity that precious?

In order to obtain this trial spot, they had offended the Ye and Luo Families. With just the strength of a small mercenary group, they could not block this kind of large characters. Now, the best choice for them was to join up with a large group like Miracle Commerce.

"There are many risks with this road, are you properly prepared to make this choice?"

"We already prepared our hearts for this from the first day we became mercenaries. We became mercenaries because we wanted to be free, going where we want, taking risks, and seeing the world. Right now, Miracle Commerce has the ability to give us that!"

"You have ambitions, dreams, and courage, good!" Chu Tian was completely satisfied, "Then the Underworld Mercenary Group will be the official mercenary group of Miracle Commerce! We will buy 50% of the Underworld Mercenary Group's stocks and give you an investment to allow you to expand. We will also give you talented people and provide resources, the only thing you need to do is create a good team!"

"Yes!"

"We greet the Chairman!"

They happily paid their respects to Chu Tian!

Miracle Commerce was a large company and since there is a large mercenary group, why couldn't they be trained into a private army? This Underworld Mercenary Group was founded less than three years ago with a clean background and a pure origin. The two young mercenary leaders both had ancient bloodlines and had decent potential, so they were quite worth investing in!

"You guys should prepare a member list, members information, financial report, and etc. Once you've obtained all this information, I will send someone over to take care of the contracts and other procedures."

After Chu Tian said this, he went off to the Yun Family.

The Yun Family had obtained a large bargain, how could Yun Tianhe not be happy?

With over a hundred banquet tables set out, the entire clan was celebrating and even Chu Tian had appeared as the guest of honour. This sent a message to the entire city, especially the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families. The Yun Family and Chu Tian were firm allies and anyone that went against Chu Tian, would go against their Yun Family.

The Four Great Families competed all year round, but they balanced each other out. Now there was the possibility of the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families colluding against the Yun Family and this would be a large pressure for them.

But Yun Tianhe believed that Chu Tian alone was enough to keep the three families at bay!

Come!

My Yun Family will take on anything you throw out!

In terms of experts, the Yun Family was inferior to the Chu Family. In terms of military strength, the Yun Family was inferior to the Ye Family. In terms of political influence, the Yun Family was inferior to the Luo Family. However, the Yun Family was a scholarly family with influence all over the Southern Summer Country, so they were not easy to get rid of!

"After mister has entered the main city, the main city has gotten much livelier!" Yun Tianhe laughed and completely downed several cups of wine, "But since you're stopping in the Central State City, do you have a safe place to stay? Those three families have more methods and abilities than most people do. There have been countless people that have died in their captivity, so it is unknown if they will secretly retaliate."

Chu Tian approved of this point. Even if he didn't need to worry about himself, he still had to worry about the young miss and Yingying. He couldn't just let them live a life of danger, could he?"

"What does Old Yun have to suggest?"

"The Yun Sect has just finished creating a new headquarters and it has already been completely refurbished. It has training grounds, training halls, and even a laboratory. If the mister does not mind, how about Miracle Commerce take this building as their Central State City headquarters?"

This old man was quite generous!

How bad could headquarters built by the Yun Sect be?

Yun Tianhe had his own plans.

The Yun Family would not suffer from the Yun Sect giving this kind of resources to Miracle Commerce. The Yun Family scholars would be able to study at Miracle Commerce and be able to directly learn from Qilin Hall. They could even learn about Miracle Commerce's cutting edge technology!

This was a mutually beneficial deal!

Since it's like this, Chu Tian would not be polite.

Yun Tianhe could see that this matter had been settled, "It's getting late. Yun Yao, bring the mister to his new home and help him familiarize himself with it. If there is anything you need, feel free to contact this old man."

Yun Yao brought Chu Tian to the newly constructed headquarters.

The Yun Sect had two main headquarters, one to the north and one to the south. This new institute was even larger than the two other institutes!

Looking at it from the outside, it was a nine segmented city fortress. Just the three-four residential layers were enough to accommodate several thousand people.

With a beautiful artificial lake and a refined back garden, there was also a large beast cart yard and several experimental breeding grounds. This luxurious style was even more exaggerated than the large families' mansions. It would be hard to find a match in the entire Central State area.

Stable!

Secure!

The entire surrounding was covered in a source energy array and there were guards stationed at every few steps. These people in charge of security were all experts picked by the Yun Family, so even those experts from the Chu, Luo, Ye, or even the Feng Family would find it hard to sneak in.

Once he finished looking at the surroundings, it was time to look inside.

As per Yun Tianhe's descriptions, the institute was fully equipped. With six training grounds, ten training halls, various laboratories, large libraries, and warehouses, it was enough for a large family to use.

"You have only seen a little part of it." Yun Yao walked into a fake hill, "Just this fake hill alone has several strong hidden rooms. The underground portions of this manor takes up one fourth of the total space and there are several hidden paths to the Yun Family. In times of crisis, this is the safest place to be!"

Chu Tian nodded, "It's so-so. It's very complete, so there is nothing that needs to be changed!"

When Yun Yao saw his proud appearance, she couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied. The Yun Family had used two years time and countless resources to build this, don't you know? Not to mention the protective array that also costed them several precious resources!

The Yun Family did not even get to use it and it was given to you.

At this moment.

Suddenly!

A black figure appeared in front of fake hill.

"Who is it!"

Could those influences be sending assassins after Chu Tian already?

Yun Yao had just boasted about this place's security and how safe it was, but in the end someone had even snuck in. How embarrassing was this!

"Stop for me!"

Yun Yao angrily roared.

She suddenly shot out with her body covered in lightning, launching a fist at the enemy.

The black figure gently swayed and easily dodged the attack. Then they gently grabbed Yun Yao's wrist and pushed out, sending Yun Yao to the ground. After staggering back a few steps, she still could not stop herself.

"Damn!"

Yun Yao revealed a trace of anger. She never thought that the other side would be such an expert!

When Yun Yao was about to release the full power of her source spirit, she felt the opponent grab her and a cold flow filled her meridians. In a short period of time, it filled her entire body, making it seem like she had been completely frozen. Even her spirit energy was frozen as if it had no way of moving.

Such a strong might!

I am not this person's match!

Yun Yao's expression changed several times.

The black figure was not interested in fighting and turned to leave.

"Aiyaya, sneaking around this late at night, I never knew that vice principal Chen had this kind of interest." Chu Tian casually said these words, "But since you're here, why are you leaving so quickly! You might as well sit down and drink a cup of tea, right?"

What? It's Chen Bingyu!

Yun Yao was shocked. It was no wonder she could not win, Chen Bingyu was a True Soul Cultivator! She was a Late Awakened Soul Layer super expert!

The black figure hesitated for a few seconds, but finally leaped down.

She was like a snowflake, gently falling down from the fake hill.

That mature body was tightly bound in the those tight fitting black clothes. Her twin peak were tall and proud and that peach like bottom was perfectly ripe, showing off that mature beauty. A pair of slender thighs that did not have a bit of excess fat, not too thin and not too fat, one did not even need to touch it to know just how flexible and tender it was.

Ze, ze!

This was a truly good figure!

Out of all the women that Chu Tian knew, the only one that could compared was probably the young miss!

Chen Bingyu looked at Chu Tian and revealed a somewhat embarrassed expression. She was an introverted person and bad at communicating with other, so she stiffly said, "Excuse me."

"You should have been following me since the arena, right!" Chu Tian stretched out his hands with a helpless look on his face, "What do you want? Do you want to kidnap me because I'm too handsome?"

Yun Yao really wished she could rip this fellow's mouth off!

Doesn't this bastard know who this person is? Was the Ice Queen someone he could harass like this?

Chen Bingyu did not have a good disposition, she was very serious and bad with words, but she didn't need them at all. All the people that had offended her, had already been frozen into ice statues!

Chen Bingyu did not have a sense of humour and honestly explained, "After you left the arena, there were people following you, but I took care of them. I followed behind you because I was afraid Chu Shanhe would make a move."

"Oh? Then I need to thank you." Chu Tian looked at this woman who was a little cautious and then he looked at Yun Yao to the side, "Alright, young miss Yun should go back and rest. I wish to have a private chat with vice principal Chen."

Chen Bingyu had helped Chu Tian back in the arena and she even personally joined Qilin Hall, so she should not have any ill intentions towards him.

Then again, with how high Chen Bingyu's cultivation base was, even if she had ill intentions toward Chu Tian, it would not matter if Yun Yao was here or not. So she could only bid her farewell.

Chu Tian looked at this cold woman who was bad with words, "You can tell me whatever you wanted to tell me."

"Yes!"

She was clearly older than him and had a stronger cultivation base, but standing in front of this young man, she felt like she was staring out into the stars. That kind of vast and profound mystery filled her with awe.

Chen Bingyu took out a scroll, "My cultivation has not progressed in two years now. There are many things that have stopped with my cultivation, but I cannot find the solution to this at all. So, I want to ask for your help."

"Since it's like this, let me have a look."

Everyone that came before Chen Bingyu was always cautious, but this one young man was the same as always, feeling completely relaxed. It was as if he was with a good friend, even though he was a junior.

Instead, it was Chen Bingyu that was feeling uncomfortable. It was as if she saw this young man as an old monster!

Chen Bingyu was a martial arts maniac, just like South Sky City's Xiong Tianyan. This kind of person would not have a normal world view and would not discriminate against someone because of their cultivation base. The world was big and filled with mysterious things, so it wasn't strange to have heaven sent genius!

"Un, about this..." Chu Tian opened the casually looked over the scroll, just understanding the gist of it and his brain already began to turn, "Your cultivation technique, is it an ancient cultivation technique of unknown origin?"

"Yes!"

"Have you cultivated it to the Large Success Realm?"

"Yes!"

"Whenever you practice this technique, do you feel a cold current run through you? Every time you try to break through the boundary, does it feel like your spirit energy is being frozen?"

Chen Bingyu's snow white cheeks were already red with excitement, "Yes!"

Chu Tian knit his brows and said, "This is a little serious! Your ancient cultivation technique was not made for humans to practice in the first place!"

Chen Bingyu just stared at him, "What?"

"This is a foreign race cultivation technique turned into a human race cultivation technique, but the skills of that person was not enough and couldn't completely change it. This can only be considered a half finished product. You should know that other races are different and their bodies are different, meaning their meridians are in different locations. This cultivation technique is good, but being practiced by you, it has begun to show side effects."

"What should I do?"

"Vice principal Chen, I'll be honest with you, this is a little troublesome!" Chu Tian rolled up the scroll and pretended like he had a headache, "If your attainments were not too deep, you could just abandon it. Yet you've already practiced this technique to the Large Success Realm and are close to reaching the Perfection Realm. The cultivation technique has already affected your source spirit, so once you throw it away, your cultivation base will be affected. This loss is not worth the gain."

Then what should she do?

Chen Bingyu had found this cultivation technique in a ruin and had been completely attracted by how profound it was, so she practiced it without a second thought. Now that she had been cultivating this for ten years, how could she just abandon it?

Is there really no other way?

"You're quite lucky. If you hadn't run into me, even the Grand Scholar Gu Qianqiu would not have been able to help you." Chu Tian returned the scroll back to her, "First live in the Qilin Hall for a month and completely write down the cultivation technique for me. I will try to find you some proper pills and will solve your problem within one month."

Chen Bingyu happily clenched her fist, "Really?"

"It's fine if you don't believe me."

"No, I believe you!"

Chu Tian was secretly laughing in his heart.

This fellow was truly pure!

Isn't it easy for Chu Tian to fix her problem?

Chu Tian did not give a her response yet and did not solve her problem. He wanted her to stay in the headquarters and let Chen Bingyu assume command. This would solve a lot of extra worries for Chu Tian!

By slowly helping her improve her cultivation law, letting her see how hard working Chu Tian was and all the hardship he suffered for her just to solve her problem, wouldn't this make her grateful towards Chu Tian?

At that time, hei, hei...

Chu Tian gave an evil laugh.

This matter has been settled.

The young miss and Yingying are about to come. Chu Tian had to tidy up this new home and prepare to welcome the sisters!

Chapter 162: Two young misses coming by cart

Two days later, a normal caravan entered into the main city. This caravan had a total of less than three hundred people and it had massive beast carriages pulling along heavy cargo. There were two beautiful white rhino beast carts in the center of the caravan with eighteen silent black robed people guarding it.

Central State had a bustling trade business with countless small and large companies.

Who would care about this normal caravan?

The curtain of the beast cart opened and a beautiful face was revealed. The wind exposing her forehead, showing beautiful eyebrows, jade like skin, and a small cherry mouth. There were two strands of hair on her cheek being gently blown by the wind making her look even more seductive. A pair of sparkling eyes that was like a pool of water contained a bit of mischief and naughtiness, but it was also very clear and intelligent.

This girl seemed like she was around fifteen-sixteen, but her body was absolutely perfect. With a long green skirt that tightly gripped her waist, she exuded youthful and lively aura.

"Wa! The main city is so bustling, it's much bigger compared to South Sky City. It's also much cleaner and prettier, this is Yingying's first time here!"

The young girl was naturally South Sky City's Meng Yingying.

Chu Tian had disappeared without a word and she had been stuck in South Sky City for half a month. She was already feeling impatient and she left immediately when the time Chu Tian had set arrived.

The two sisters had good luck.

They decided to come right when the Central State City Great Games were happening and the Four Great Families were focused on the Great Games, so they did not care about the changes with South Sky City. As a result, the two of them did not meet any danger or trouble on the way here and smoothly entered the main city.

A girl with a long snow white robe which could not cover her proud figure. This country destroying beauty was incomparably beautiful. With smooth white skin, cherry red lips, ink black hair, and a pair of shining water like eyes, she was like a beautiful crystal. Overall, she gave a mature and dignified feeling to anyone that saw her.

Meng Qingwu was sitting in the beast carriage in front of Meng Yingying. Even the calm person she was could not contain her excitement. She was finally taking this step forward!

Main city!

The heart of the Central State County!

The location where all the major powers in Central State resided!

This was the most bountiful location in all of Central State, but it was also the place with the most competition. Those that could establish a foothold here were the top powers of the Central State City.

Chu Tian had come to Central State City two weeks ago, but they did not know what his current situation was.

Could a single person really stir up a big pool like Central State City?

It would be best if he could achieve this, but if he couldn't, they just hoped he did not mess up. Chu Tian was the soul of Miracle Commerce and if Miracle Commerce did not have Chu Tian, their achievements would be limited.

When Meng Qingwu was feeling anxious.

A husky uncle with a face filled with excitement came back, "Young miss, you won't believe this. The entire street is talking about the Chairman and I have obtained news on the Chairman! There was no effort required at all!"

"What? Shouldn't he be trying to stay low key? If the entire city knows about him, then something big must have happened to him!"

Meng Qingwu's heart felt heavy.

If Chu Tian caused trouble in Central State again, it would not be easy to solve it.

Xiong Tianyan had asked around and learned that Chu Tian had met the Heavenly Sword Young Master when he first entered the city. He had resisted a single slash from the Heavenly Sword Young Master and had destroyed the legend of the Heavenly Sword Young Master's one slash kill. Then he had gone to the Yun Sect to cause trouble and had inspired admiration in the Yun Family. Finally he had united Nangong Yun and the Yun Family to establish the Qilin Hall which had caused a giant sensation in Central State City.

Then the most shocking thing was.

Chu Tian had participated in the Central State Great Games, defeating all the other competitors in the Great Games and instantly becoming the most dazzling genius in Central State City. The three great families had worked together to kill him at any cost, but Yun Tianhe, Chen Bingyu, and the Divine Wind Marquis had all worked together to stop them!

The Meng Qingwu sisters were completely shocked.

In just two weeks time, Chu Tian had turned himself into the center and turned himself into someone with influence in Central State City? How did this fellow do it!

"Where is he now?"

"The Chairman is in the Miracle Commerce Headquarters. It's said that the Yun Family gave the Chairman a Yun Sect Headquarters to act as the Chairman's Central State headquarters!"

"Let's go!"

Meng Qingwu was overjoyed.

Chu Tian is so skilled!

Who didn't know the Yun Family? The Yun Family being willing to give a newly built institute to him, it was very clear to even a fool that they were trying to win him over!

Not only had Chu Tian caused trouble in Central State, he had even won over a few allies for Miracle Commerce, he had even found a headquarters for them. The two sisters had come just in time to move in!

This was something completely unexpected for Meng Qingwu!

The Meng Qingwu sisters directed their carts to the institute and got out. They carefully examined this castle like building several times. With high walls, strong buildings, and heavy guards, it was like an iron fortress. Even the area it covered was huge and just this alone was shocking enough.

There was no need to worry about this place being attacked.

With medicine fields, breeding farms, laboratories, and cultivation rooms, this was built with the most state of the art technology and equipment the Yun Family scholars had!

"Damn!" Meng Yingying stamped her foot and her two cheeks puffed out, like she was dissatisfied. She loudly shouted, "I've been worried for nothing over the past few days! That bad fellow was living such a good lifestyle!"

Meng Qingwu couldn't help smiling, "Why aren't you calling him out yet?"

Meng Yingying followed her orders by pulling out a loud speaker and running to the door as she shouted, "Chu Tian you fool! What are you doing? Come and welcome us!"

Meng Qingwu revealed a smile. This little girl had been so worried that she barely ate, but now she could be relaxed!

The front door slowly opened.

Nangong Yun was like a red tornado as she charged out, "Ha, ha, ha, ha! Yingying, elder sister Qingwu! You're finally here! This old lady has missed you! Come give me a hug!"

When Meng Yingying saw Nangong Yun who she had not met in a while, she was filled with excitement and joy. She felt a sudden terrifying strength surrounding her for a moment, almost crushing her into a meat patty.

"Aiyo! Elder apprentice sister's cultivation has increased quite a bit!"

"You're not bad either, let me take a look. You're almost at the peak of the 1st Awakened Soul Layer, this progress is actually quite fast!"

"Of course!" Meng Yingying intentionally raised her voice just so the person coming from behind them could hear her, "I spent most of my time practicing behind close doors, using five large boxes of meteor grass. My Starlight Body is close to the peak of the Glass Body Realm and is close to approaching the Diamond Body Realm. Pretty strong, right!"

"You've almost reached the Diamond Body Realm!"

Nangong Yun was shocked. Was this not amazing enough?

Meng Yingying did not lie.

The Starlight Immortal Body required a lot of materials and as long as there were enough materials, one's cultivation speed would be quick. When Chu Tian left South Sky City, Meng Yingying had already reached the Glass Body Realm. If she really did cultivate daily, then it wouldn't be strange for her to reach the Diamond Body Realm.

The most important thing was that Meng Yingying and Meng Qingwu's source spirits did not have much of a battle strength amplifying effect, so they were doomed to be unable to practice most cultivation techniques. Thus, they could only focus on the defense route and focus on a suitable cultivation technique for them which will increase their progress speed.

Meng Yingying purposefully looked away from the person walking out behind them.

Chu Tian revealed a troubled face and said, "Aiyo! I was wondering why my right eyelid was jumping constantly as soon as I got out of bed! It's because this little girl is here!"

Meng Yingying looked over, "You don't welcome this miss?"

"How could I dare?" Chu Tian walked forward, "We haven't seen each other in so long! Give me a hug!"

Chu Tian went forth to give a big bear hug, clinging to a mass of warm of flexible cotton. This little girl's body has progressed once again!

Meng Yingying was stunned.

She couldn't resist, but she also couldn't not resist. Her face turned completely red.

This bastard is hugging me in front of everyone!

Damn!

Bullying me as soon as he sees me!

Chu Tian released Yingying and walked in front of the young miss, "The young miss is even prettier now. Come let me hug you!"

Meng Qingwu's eyebrows raised and her beautiful long legs kicked out. In the end, it was dodged by Chu Tian.

"The young miss is too cautious." Chu Tian revealed an embarrassed smile, "We're all one big family, is there a need to be shy?"

Meng Qingwu's face turned red, "In front of all these people, you better not speak nonsense!"

Chu Tian helplessly shrugged his shoulders, "The new home has been prepared, so please come in two young misses! We have prepared a welcoming feast to help you wash away your travel fatigues!"

"Now this is more proper!" Meng Yingying gave a satisfied nod. She held her elder sister's hand as she walked in, "Go! We're going to our new home!"

Zhang Liqing and Xiong Tianyan followed them.

"Old Zhang seems even younger now. Your cultivation base is at the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer, it really is something worth celebrating over." Chu Tian said this and then looked at Xiong Tianyan, "Uncle Xiong's cultivation base is almost at the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer, this quick progress is truly amazing!"

"This is all thanks to you!" Xiong Tianyan gave a crisp laugh, "If it wasn't for the Miracle Commerce's resources and the meteor grass, how could I have progressed so quickly?"

Zhang Liqing stroked his beard and spoke with a look of admiration on his face, "The Yun Sect is such a large organization and now they're treating you like an honoured guest. You little brat are not simple!"

"It's good luck, it's just good luck! Please come in!"

The Miracle Commerce staff began to move the items into the institute.

There were over one hundred barrels alone of refined Crystal Oil that they could take out to make Source Energy Batteries at any moment. This was a material that was used frequently. In addition to the meteor grass, there were countless items coming from the company.

What Chu Tian found strange was the cargo in the center of the caravan. What took up the most space was Meng Yingying's things, taking up a total of one hundred and fifty boxes.

Each box was large and heavy.

"What are in these boxes?"

"Reporting to the Chairman, we don't know either. It is Miss Meng Yingying's invention from South Sky City. She says it is a secret weapon and would be useful in Central State City!"

This really was a strange story.

This dumb girl could also make an invention?

Chu Tian entered the building and introduced Yun Yao and Yun Xiao to everybody. These two had helped Chu Tian quite a bit during his time in Central State, so he already considered them one of his own.

"Miracle Commerce has now settled in, so we need to move fast!" Chu Tian began to discuss the company's next steps with Meng Qingwu, "Tianchen Commerce has already secretly made two thousand phonographs and have already constructed a magnetic sound tower. There are several others being made right now and the factories are increasing radio productions. Now we must consider how to begin."

Chu Tian had basically spent all his money, but Meng Qingwu had brought twenty million gold coins with her.

With the interference of the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families, it would not be easy for Miracle Commerce to expand into Central State City. It would be very difficult for them to acquire a shop or factory. These three great families would exert a large amount of pressure and Miracle Commerce would not be able to buy anything no matter how much money they used.

The large factories and resource suppliers were controlled by the medium sized families and they would not dare to go against the three great families just to help Miracle Commerce.

"Let's open a source energy restaurant first!" Meng Yingying said this with full confidence, "The dining profession is managed by low level small companies, so they won't be worried about those families. We'll just spend several times the normal amount and buy them out!"

Meng Qingwu nodded, "I was thinking the same thing. Yingying has made quite a good canned food innovation and this is the perfect time to use it to grab attention!"

Chu Tian thought about those large boxes.

Was it really something Yingying invented?

Chu Tian was very clear on the young miss' personality. If even the young miss had confidence in this, then this would really be quite a good item!

Chapter 163: Yingying's brand of delicious canned food

No Worries Valley. Feng Caidie was wearing her long robe as she practiced with her sword, the Named Sword Divine Wind shined like a blue rainbow. The sword dance that she performed in that second made her look as beautiful as a forest elf. There was ten feet of air that surrounded the blade as it danced, giving it a strong and elegant aura.

When the sword dance finished.

The sword returned to its sheath!

"Young miss." Xiang Hu stepped out across the green lawn and respectfully said, "The marquis is asking for you."

Feng Caidie calmed her spirit energy and walked into the bamboo room with a faint smile on her face.

When the Divine Wind Marquis Feng Yuntian saw that his daughter's aura was even stronger and more elegant, and her cultivation technique had improved by a step, his heart was filled with satisfaction, "The Central State Tower is opening soon and this trial will be very important. I have asked an old friend to make some pills that will help increase your cultivation. Take them and use them."

The Divine Wind Marquis took out a little box and took out several clear jade bottles. A strange medicinal fragrance wafted out which would make a person energized with one whiff.

The Divine Wind Marquis introduced the pills one by one and to the side, Xiang Hu's eyes almost popped out. Regardless of the variety or quality, these were all the best items possible. For increasing a person's strength in the Void Soul Realm, it would have a very remarkable effect.

Every pill would cost over a million gold coins and the total value of all of them would be over twenty million gold coins!

Feng Caidie was not pleasantly surprised at all, rather she was already used to it. This was just a common thing for her already!

Since she was young, she treated Elixirs as meals and pills as snacks. The resources spent on Feng Caidie's body were enough to create a super talent at the Four Young Masters' level!

Because of intaking all these Elixirs over the years, Feng Caidie's meridians had accumulated a large amount of spiritual energy. Now that her meridians had been linked, the pressure points linked to her meridians would be opened and she could continuously make breakthroughs.

"Father, it isn't as if you do not know already. The spiritual energy built up within my body cannot be refined and right now I am unable to absorb pills. It would be wasted if I took these now." Feng Caidie shook her head and said, "Moreover, the energy within my body is enough for me to break through to the Illustrious Soul Realm, so these pills meant for the Void Soul Realm have no real use to me."

The Divine Wind Marquis rubbed his chin, "Your point is quite right, the quality of these pills is not high enough yet! I must find the time to take a trip to the Imperial City and bring back some more high level Elixirs."

Xiang Hu's heart was bleeding. These pills worth over ten million gold coins were actually looked down on by this father and daughter pair as being too low grade. This was truly wanting to die from comparing oneself to others.

The Divine Wind Marquis felt a little awkward, "Then what do we do with these pills?"

"Just let me deal with them!" Feng Caidie threw a bottle over to Xiang Hu, "Brother Hu, this is for you!"

"Many thanks, young miss!"

Xiang Hu excitedly held the pill.

"Chu Tian sent me an invitation asking me to attend the Miracle Commerce Restaurant's grand opening." Feng Caidie closed the box and Xiang Hu picked up up, "I was worried about going empty handed, so these pills came right on time."

Even though these pills worth several tens of millions of gold coins were being given away, the Divine Wind Marquis did not feel a trace of pity. Rather he was a little worried as he said, "Chu Tian has graciously cured you and even though father has helped him twice, it still can't compare to his favour. Only, Chu Tian has high skills in Alchemy and even though these pills are very precious to normal people, it might not be enough to enter his eyes…..Moreover, Chu Tian is already in the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer, so these pills will not help him much."

"Chu Tian has many people by his side. Other than Nangong Yun, we don't know about the others. I'll just give this gift to him and we'll treat it as first greetings! It's decided!"

Feng Caidie beckoned to Xiang Hu to leave. When Feng Yuntian saw the smile on his daughter's face, he couldn't help being filled with heartfelt gratitude. He looked up at the sky, as if he was thinking of something.

It was his wife who had died several years ago.

The Divine Wind Marquis owed his wife too much, so he tried to pay it back with Caidie. Even though he knew it was useless, he still did not hesitate to pour everything into her body.

Feng Yuntian was unaware that he caused a lot of pressure to be put on Feng Caidie. The Feng Family hated her and Central State City looked down on her. It was because of this pressure that Feng Caidie had secretly run off. What no one thought of was that running from home had become the turning point of Feng Caidie's life.

"Caidie is fine now, you can rest assured."

Feng Yuntian muttered as he returned to his own room.

...…..

Feng Caidie had lived year after year in seclusion in the No Worries Valley, so she did not hear many rumours. She did hear some things about Miracle Commerce, but she didn't know what was special about it.

She couldn't understand.

Why was a top talent like Chu Tian creating a restaurant?!

The dining industry was for people of the middle and lower class companies to manage. For a family of the Four Great Families' status, they would not get involved in this low grade industry.

Feng Caidie was filled with doubts as she arrived in Central State City. Before long, she smelt a strange fragrance, one that she had never smelt before.

It wasn't just Feng Caidie, there were many people on the street that had been attracted over.

"Big bro, do you smell that?"

"I smell it, what kind of thing is this fragrant!"

"Yes, it's really strange. Where is it coming from!"

"Dad! What is being sold outside? Why is it so fragrant?"

"Come, let's go take a look!"

"...."

When the crowd found the source.

In front of the Grand Miracle Hotel, there was a long line of people, with several hundred people waiting. There were mercenaries, rogue cultivators, aristocrats, officers, soldiers, and even servants creating a magnificent scene.

Wasn't this the restaurant Miracle Commerce spent a large amount of money to buy?

It is reasonable to say that it hasn't been renovated yet, so it was impossible for it to begin doing business. Why were so many people lined up outside?

Feng Caidie looked over the crowd.

In front of the Grand Miracle Hotel's doors, there were several large pots. Inside each pot was boiling oil with various seasoning already put in. There were large pieces of meat rolling around inside and the fragrance was coming from those pots. In front of each cauldron was a young person wearing a Miracle Commerce uniform, currently frying the meat with large spoons.

There were several large boxes in front of the restaurant and each one was completely filled with food cans.

The Miracle Commerce workers were busy taking cans out of the boxes and selling them to the bustling crowd. There were many people trying to push to the front.

"Everyone, please line up!"

"Come up one by one, you're not allowed to skip the line!"

There was a beautiful girl in green clothes standing atop a bench. Holding a giant loudspeaker in her hands, she was using her sweet and clear voice to shout out advertising to the crowd.

"Currently we are launching Miracle Dining's pre opening event!"

"The cans of food in front of you were cooked using source energy. The materials used come from level one and level two demon beasts and herbs. Not only is it delicious, it can also strengthen one's body. In the entire Southern Summer Country, no even the entire continent, only we Miracle Commerce have this technology."

"Before the source energy restaurant officially opens, we will be holding an event to allow everyone to have a free taste. Today we have brought some cured meat made from high quality Barbarian Bull meat. We've used thirty eight kinds of herbs to help cure the meat, just to make this unique cured meat!"

"Quantities are limited, so it will be first come first serve!"

Free?

Is there really something this good!

Everyone had already been completely enticed by the fragrance and was currently trying to rush to the front.

Feng Caidie pushed to the front with great difficulty. There were already quite a few people that had already obtained some food and they were filled with praise for it.

"Delicious!"

"This is so delicious!"

"I never thought that demon beast meat could be so delicious!"

"Big bro, I already finished my portion. It seems like your stomach isn't so good, how about you give some to your brother?"

"Fuck you! You want to steal father's cured demon beast meat? Be careful or else we won't be brothers anymore!"

"..."

The way that everyone was stuffing down the meat filled Meng Yingying's heart with joy. The cured meat had been her invention and it hadn't even been released in South Sky City yet. Seeing how much Central State City loved it, her heart filled with confidence.

"Boss! Your food is just too delicious! Can we have another portion?"

"Everyone can only have one free portion per day." Meng Yingying shouted through the loudspeaker, "If everyone feels like they haven't had enough, Miracle Commerce is also selling large amounts of canned meat. Everyone can now buy them for half price!"

This was the important part!

"Cans?"

"What is a can!"

They had never heard of it before!"

"The cured meat that you have just tasted was only one flavour of demon beast canned meat! We, Miracle Commerce have already created eight different flavours of canned meat!" Meng Yingying happily shouted, "These were all made with food that had been cooked with source energy. Not only is it easily digested, it will also recover your strength and slowly recover your spirit energy. It even has a strengthening effect, enhancing one's body and cultivation base!"

"Not only is the canned meat delicious, it can also be stored for a long time. A conservative estimate would be around a year and it can even be stored for around half a year in warm environments! Moreover, the canned food themselves have a heating array and only need to be injected with spirit energy to be heated. No matter where one goes, they can always have delicious heated food!"

Is this true?

That is an incredible invention!

They had never heard of food that lasted this long!

Meng Yingying wiped off a bead of sweat and continued to shout, "Everyone can buy a maximum of five cans per day. While we are holding this event, you will also have a chance to participate in a draw for buying canned meat. Miracle Commerce's phonograph and other products are waiting to be taken home! Don't miss this great opportunity!"

Everyone was filled with excitement!

Say this earlier!"

"I want to buy some!"

"I want to buy five cans!"

Everyone rushed forward to buy the canned meat.

Feng Caidie's heart was also filled with curiosity, "Buy two and let's have a look."

"Alright!" Xiang Hu placed the box on the ground, "I'll go now!"

The crowd came in waves and the tens of large boxes of cans were quickly sold out. These cans were all made with source energy cooked meat with flavours in cured meat, smoked meat, barbequed meat, salted meat, and etc.

The demon beast meat was already resistant to rotting, so while Meng Yingying was making the canned meat, she had added a few special herbs and it was enough to guarantee that the canned meat wouldn't spoil for around a year!

How could this opening event not cause a ruckus?

The source energy restaurant already had a difficult to shake position. Now that source energy cooked canned foods were on sale, how could it not increase their sales volume?

For a merchant, this was a good opportunity!

If they could buy this canned food and take it to a different city, they could sell it for several times its value!

As for mercenaries, sailors, soldiers, and wandering rogue cultivators, this thing was tailor made for them!

When these occupations undertook tasks or when rogue cultivators went out to practice, they would not be back in the city for at least half a month. It was a difficult problem to maintain their food supplies in the wild.

Now this problem was fixed!

With the canned demon beast meat, not only was it delicious and nutritious, it was also very filling. The most important thing was that it would strengthen their body and slowly recover their spirit energy.

This was truly a necessity for travelling!

Was the canned meat tasty?

Could the cans really be kept for that long?

Everyone was filled with curiosity to test it out.

Chapter 164: The canned food raid

The Chu, Luo, and Ye Families had been creating an information blockade on Miracle Commerce the whole time. It was impossible for them to reveal large news like Chu Tian killing elders from the three families, Chu Tian capturing Ye Tianlang, or Chu Tian forcing Ye Wudao back. Everything related to Miracle Commerce was hard to publish in the major newspapers.

This caused all the middle and lower tier cultivators of Central State City to not have a clear understanding of Miracle Commerce. It could even be described as a vague understanding.

This was not a bad thing, but rather it helped increase people's curiosity. So when Miracle Commerce came to Central State City, as long as they did anything, they could easily grab the citizens' attention and shock them.

Meng Yingying had been shouting with the loudspeaker for over half an hour and her head was already covered in sweat.

What made Meng Yingying the most proud was that all the canned food had been sold!

The canned food was an idea created by Meng Yingying alone!

When Nangong Yun left South Sky City, the South Sky City restaurant was managed by Meng Yingying alone. The three restaurants opened in South Sky City were very popular, one had to reserve seats everyday and sometimes one would need to book several days in advance. It was very hard just to get a single seat!

There were quite a few mercenaries and rogue cultivators that were thinking about how great it would be if they could eat Miracle Commerce's food no matter when and where. Miracle Commerce's source energy pots were not for sale, so this was doomed to be a fantasy.

They never would have imagined that this would be an inspiration for Meng Yingying!

They were right!

They could not guarantee that Miracle Commerce's technology would not be leaked, so they had to carefully recruit their personnel. Because of this, they could not open another store quickly and many people would not be able to eat the source energy cooked food. Wasn't this a large market that was going to waste?

Meng Yingying suddenly came up with an idea. If they could take source energy cooked food and packaged them to sell, wouldn't this be a very large market?

When her elder sister learned of Yingying's thoughts, she immediately agreed and gave her full support.

Meng Yingying was full of confidence and immediately summoned several experienced chefs. Working day and night, they finally invented the canned food!

In fact, from a technological perspective, canned food was not really anything complicated. But when it came to great inventions, one usually just lacked the proper inspiration and the ingenuity of creativity.

The advent of canned food would have a very large impact.

It would even be a milestone in the expansion of Miracle Commerce Dining!

The various large families, soldiers, mercenaries, cultivators, and even normal people would all come back and buy more of this new delicacy. Not only did it solve the problem of surviving in the wild, it would also help supplement one's diet and make one's body stronger.

How many millions of people would benefit from this invention?

Meng Yingying had personally supervised the production of the meat canned foods, but she did not distribute them in South Sky City. Without knowing how the city would react, she had brought all the cans of food to Central State City to sell.

The most surprising thing was.

The canned food business received a wild welcome and support on the first day. This extraordinary scene seemed to have confirmed that Meng Yingying's hard work wasn't wasted!

People no longer needed to worry about eating dry rations on long journeys. They also no longer needed to worry about malnutrition and their bodies becoming weaker every day.

With a can of meat and some wine, no matter where they were, they could enjoy the delicacies of Miracle Commerce. This was truly a great invention that benefited the nation and the citizens!

Meng Yingying's voice was a little hoarse from shouting, but she did not feel tired at all. She gripped the loudspeaker in her hand as she said, "Thank you for everyone's support! The canned meat for today has all been sold, so friends who haven't bought anything today, please come back and line up tomorrow. Quantities are limited so it will be first come first serve!"

"What!"

"It's sold out so quickly?"

"I've been lining up for over an hour now!"

Faced with everyone's complaints, Meng Yingying took the loudspeaker and said, "Miracle Commerce has come from far away, so we did not bring many cans with us, but please feel assured everyone. Miracle Commerce will be setting up a canned food processing factory in Central State City soon!"

"Other than that, Miracle Commerce will also need a large amount of demon beast meat, so mercenary friends no longer need to waste demon beast meat. As long as you sent it to the collection area, we will take it no matter how much there is! Miracle Commerce will also be opening a breeding farm outside the city. If anyone catches a suitable demon beast youth, we will buy it for a favourable price! We will not let anyone suffer a loss!"

The mercenaries and merchants revealed looks of pleasant surprise!

This was a large business opportunity!

Miracle Commerce wanted to open a source energy restaurant in Central State City and wanted to make a large amount of canned foods, so they would need demon beast meat. It was not hard to see that the worthless demon beast meat would be increasing in value!

In this world, there were more beasts than men.

The land occupied by intelligent living beings could not even count for a one ten thousandth of the continent's area. An overwhelming amount of unoccupied space was filled with demon beasts, and therefore, it could be said that there was a huge number of demon beasts, it could even be described as a flood.

With a bustling city like Central State City, they frequently faced beast threats, even seriously affecting the security of urban areas. Because of this, many mercenaries and rogue cultivators would go and hunt demon beasts. However, the most common thing and the most worthless thing on the demon beast's body was its meat.

With the appearance of Miracle Commerce, this had all changed.

The price of the beast meat would rise. As the source energy restaurant became more popular, the demand for demon beast meat would exponentially increase. For the people that killed demon beasts for a living, this would be a large source of income for them!

How could people reject this kind of good thing?

After the canned food had been sold out, it was time to start the prize drawing.

"Congratulations, you have pulled out the third place prize. You will receive a level one Miracle Commerce refined talisman!"

"Congratulations, you have pulled out the third place prize. You will receive a bottle of Miracle Commerce refined medicine!"

"...."

Every can of food bought came with a prize draw chance which had a high chance of winning. The worst prize they could get was either a dagger or short sword made of fine iron, but for most of the people here, they would pull out a high quality item like a talisman or some medicine.

Miracle Commerce had prepared over ten thousand items to be given away!

Such a rich manner made everyone excited!

This activity had been planned by Meng Qingwu. On one hand, it would let the people of the city see how deep Miracle Commerce's finance and strength was. On the other hand, it would allow Miracle Commerce's products to quickly spread through the city.

The soonest the restaurant could open would still take eight-ten days!

Through the use of free food, selling the canned food, and giving away all kinds of prizes, Miracle Commerce would attract the attention of the entire city.

"Congratulations! You have won the first place prize! You have won a Qi Refining Pill produced by Miracle Commerce!"

The crowd burst into cheers.

They were not clear on the other Miracle Commerce products, but this Qi Refining Pill was very famous. The price on the underground market was very high and selling one would make one rich!

"Congratulations! You have won a special prize! You will obtain a limited first generation Miracle Commerce phonograph! Moreover you will also receive a basic level disc that you can play ten times!"

Everyone cheered even louder!

Phonograph?

Isn't this something from Qilin Hall!

It even included a basic level disc, how great was that? Even if it was a basic level course, it was treasure that had a hard to measure value!

Everyone was full of excitement.

Delicious free food, selling a large amount of canned food, and giving out a bunch of prizes, once the source energy restaurant opened, perhaps its reputation might have exploded already. It would be hard for it to do badly!

"Young miss! I'm back!"

"What took you so long? The canned food has already sold out!"

"I can't help it, there were too many people. You can't skip the line and it was sold out before it reached me." Xiang Hu let out a sigh with a depressed look on his face. Miracle Commerce's business was just too good, "No need to worry, young miss. I have spent ten times the value and bought two cans from a mercenary."

Feng Caidie's eyes lit up, "Let me see it!"

There was a Miracle Commerce packaging around it and the cylindrical container was closed with a copper lid. There was nothing strange about the material used at all. There were no pattern or designs on it and there was just the brand and the producer written. As well as the large words "Canned Braised Pig Feet".

Feng Caidie carefully observed the little words written underneath, which stated the canned species, the method of use, the ingredients used to create this item, and the benefits the source energy cooked food would have. It was clearly written and very straightforward.

Although the packaging seemed crude, it was actually very creative!

From the reactions around her, everyone seemed like they loved it!

Feng Caidie was very curious as she opened it. There were three pig's feet inside, completely soaked in a kind of solidified jelly soup. According to the descriptions written on the side, there were six different herbs and nine different spices that were mixed with these pig's feet. It already had anti spoiling properties, it was enough for it to be preserved around a year.

The food was already cooked and one could eat after opening it.

To make it taste better, one could also heat it up.

Feng Caidie held the can in her hands and injected a bit of spirit energy into it. Several runes appeared on the can and the half solidified jelly soup began to melt. It slowly began to emit heat just like food freshly cooked in a pot.

"Aiya!"

"This really is creative!"

Feng Caidie sniffed it. The smell was very rich and attractive, it was stimulated her appetite!

Feng Caidie ignored the appearance and fished out one pig's foot to place in her mouth.

Her eyes immediately popped out!

Feng Caidie was someone who had seen the world and eaten all kinds of delicious food, but she could not believe this was demon beast meat! Demon beast meat was very hard to cook, not to mention a very tough place like this pig's foot. However, this pig's foot from the can had been boiled to the point that it was completely tender.

The meat was very tender and the taste was great.

It was perfect seasoned with herbs and spices, making the taste even more beautiful!

Feng Caidie could not stop after a single bite and she ate the remaining pork's feet. Her mouth was covered in grease, not caring about her image at all!

How was this fast food?

This was an absolutely delicious meal!

Just this canned food would be enough to make Miracle Commerce famous!

"This taste is great!" Feng Caidie found that after tasting one, she could not stop herself, "Is there anymore?"

Xiang Hu spoke with an awkward look on his face, "I'm sorry young miss, I've eaten the rest!"

Feng Caidie had a complaining gaze as she looked at him, "It's fine, we know Chu Tian anyway, so we'll get some more cans of food from him. This thing is too delicious and it can also strengthen our bodies and cultivation bases. Not only would it be the best meal for cultivators, it can become the best snack for us!"

Snack?

This was not cheap for normal people!

Even the most common level one canned beast mean cost ten gold coins per can. Adding the heating ruins on the can would make it cost at least twenty gold coins!

Of course, to the children of rich families, this was not a problem at all!

Feng Caidie wiped her mouth and revealed her status to enter the restaurant.

Chapter 165: Eternally lost problem

Chu Tian was casually drinking tea inside the restaurant with the little snow white fox curled up on his crossed legs. It also had its legs crossed and looked like the perfect representation of its master. Its two small claws were also holding a jade tea cup and even the way it drinked tea was exactly like its master.

Meng Qingwu was speechless!

It really is being influenced by someone else. The cute little fox hadn't been with Chu Tian for long and it was already learning bad habits from its master.

Chu Tian was not ashamed at all, "This is the elven green tea that Old Yun has sent me. Young miss, come have a cup!"

Meng Qingwu poured herself a cup and the delicious fragrance filled the air, making her body feel very comfortable. It was as if her body's spirit energy had been cleansed, filling her with a wonderful sense of clarity. This really was a good tea.

"Yingying has a shy personality and is always satisfied with trying to keep the peace. It is rare to see something that makes her so excited." Meng Qingwu's gentle autumn water like eyes stared at Chu Tian, "Sometimes, seeing her feeling tired after rushing around all day, my heart feels pain. I don't know whether this change is good for her."

Meng Qingwu's heart was divided. On one hand, she wanted Yingying to always be motivated and for her to have enough strength to survive in this dog eat dog world. On the other hand, she wished for Yingying to live a carefree life, never needing to worry about fighting or fame and fortune.

"Between the hard working Yingying or the carefree Yingying, which one do you think is happier?"

Meng Qingwu looked outside.

Her little sister's petite body was standing on the stage with one hand holding the loudspeaker and the other waving at something. Her head was covered in sweat and her cheeks were red, but she was still passionately shouting with a satisfied look on her face.

She just smiled and said nothing.

"But young miss, don't you feel like this matter is quite fishy?" Chu Tian held the teacup and spoke with a serious aura, "How could an idiot like Yingying come up with this idea? Perhaps we need to check if she's under spell!"

"Bad! You don't know how to speak! You're the one under a spell!" Meng Qingwu's tall and proud chest surged forth. She firmly defended her sister, completely ignoring this fellow's nonsense, "She works so hard because she wants to make up for her lack of talent, don't you know that?"

Hard working?

Stop joking. Do you think I wouldn't know what this girl was up to? She's almost half as lazy as me!

The reason why I entered your Meng Family, it was because she didn't want to do her homework!

"You shouldn't be so quick to judge. After she used her Magic Mirror Source Spirit to copy my Heavenly Book Source Spirit, not only did she learn the details of some of Miracle Commerce's key technology, she even closes herself in her room everyday, cultivating and studying. I don't know where she came up with the idea of the canned food, but in order to make it, she read dozens of books on cooking and obtained the help of several chefs After working in secret for several days, this can be called the hard work she's produced."

Meng Yingying seemed very weak, but she was a very proud person.

She saw that Chu Tian was so smart, her sister was so skilled, and elder sister Nangong was so strong, but it was just her alone who had no intelligence, no skills, or fighting abilities. How could she not be worried about being a flower vase?

The casual sentences Chu Tian had said before he left had filled her with inspiration.

A green clothed girl holding a loudspeaker walked in. Her head was covered in sweat and her face was completely red, but she stood in front of them with a happy expression on her face, "It's all taken care of!"

That sweet voice was just like a lark's cry, easily producing goodwill in anyone that heard it.

"Elder sister, is there anything that needs to be improved!"

"No need!" Meng Qingwu revealed a faint smile as she shook her head, "Have some tea and rest your body."

Meng Yingying giggled, "I'm not tired! I'm feeling very happy right now!"

Actually Meng Yingying was a beautiful girl recognized by Chu Tian and he had the best relationship with her. When Meng Yingying had taken him from the slave market, Chu Tian knew that from that day forth, he would take special care of Meng Yingying.

He would take care of her for a lifetime even if she was a flower vase!

Who would have thought that this careless and naive little girl would come up with this idea that shocked everyone.

Meng Yingying began to describe the current situation.

"Grand General Xiong Wuji has sent someone to order two hundred thousand cans of food from us!"

"A variety of large families, mercenary groups, and other companies have submitted orders for canned food ahead of time!"

"We haven't even opened up the factory yet and the orders are floating in like snowflakes!"

"Not bad!" Chu Tian could not help but praise her, "Yingying's brand of canned food will become world famous!"

Meng Yingying's face turned red and she scratched her head in an embarrassed manner, "I only gave an idea. Throughout the development process of the canned food, elder sister helped me quite a bit. Even the business strategy was something that elder sister helped me come up with."

Meng Qingwu gently said, "It is your accomplishment! What does it have to do with me?"

"I say, you two sisters don't have to both be so humble! You make it hard for others to tell if you even have a good relation or not!" Chu Tian laughed, "You will be rewarded for your deeds! We'll take out half the yearly profits from the canned food as your reward! Just keep selling the canned food and expand the source energy restaurant's influence!"

Half of the yearly canned food profit as a reward?

This was too much!

"From this day on, Yingying will have full command of Miracle Dining."

Yingying asked in a surprised voice, "Then what about elder sister Nangong?"

"It's enough for Nangong to keep the vice president position. Nangong will be developing other departments, so I'm afraid she won't have time to worry about the dining department."

Nangong Yun would become the head of Qilin Hall. With her air of justice and martial spirit, she was destined to be an elder sister character. With Yun Yao and Yun Xiao as assistants, they would be able to win over a large amount of little brothers and let their reputations be known throughout Central State!

While they were talking, a beautiful girl in a long robe walked in, "I'm sorry brother Chu! We're late!"

Beautiful miss Feng was here.

Feng Caidie noticed the two girls as soon as she walked in. The green clothed girl was very cute, whereas the white clothed girl was a country destroying beauty. The two of them looked very similar and it was clear that they were sisters.

"This is Miracle Commerce's vice chairman Meng Qingwu and this is the president of Miracle Dining Meng Yingying who you should have saw outside earlier." Chu Tian introduced everyone to each other, "This is the Divine Wind Marquis' daughter, Feng Caidie! I've mentioned her before!"

"Hello elder sister Caidie!" Meng Yingying move forward with a warm welcome, "Elder sister is truly beautiful, no wonder that good for nothing fellow keeps mentioning you to us."

Chu Tian felt a little awkward.

What do you mean I kept mentioning her?

I only told you about her once!

"I haven't prepared much for the first visit." Feng Caidie waved her hand and Xiang Hu quickly carried the box in. Feng Caidie opened the lid, revealing the jade bottles, "These refined pills are useless to me, but they should be able to help you increase your strength quickly. Please receive them."

Meng Qingwu was a little shocked, "This present…..it's too expensive!"

"It's not expensive at all." Feng Caidie appropriately said, "Compared to the help you've given me, it's just a little repayment. I hope you will accept this gift."

The sisters were a little conflicted.

Chu Tian saw this and said, "Then we'll accept young miss Feng's goodwill!"

Although the sisters would not have a strong battle potential, their cultivation bases still needed to be increased.

"I've actually come to find you for another important matter." After Feng Caidie gave the present over to the sisters, she looked at Chu Tian with a serious face and said, "We're here to discuss the matter of the Central State Tower!"

The Central State Trials?

Chu Tian did not know much about it and was not very interested.

A trial! It was just a place to train young people, so would there even be anything good there?

"The large civilizations of the continent have left countless treasures and the trials are one of them." Feng Caidie said this and then suddenly changed the tone of her voice to ask, "Do you know why the trial was created?"

How could Chu Tian not know this, "Ancient clans and kingdoms built these trial areas to help train their talented youths with the main goal of increasing their strength."

"Not only that, there were some trials created by ancient sects that were meant to seek an appropriate successor for certain inheritances. When sects are about to be eliminated, they would pour all their efforts into making a trial, so they cannot be underestimated."

"Is that so?"

"From the outer appearance, Central State Tower is very normal."

Chu Tian was a little surprised, "Is there a difference?"

"You shouldn't underestimate this opportunity!" Feng Caidie was worried that with Chu Tian's personality of not putting anything in his eyes, he would waste this great opportunity, "First, the Central State Tower is not manmade. It is very ancient and could possibly be a relic of an ancient civilization. There are many incredible treasures that are buried and everyone who has participated in the trial before has reaped rich rewards! The Central State Four Great Families and the Feng Family go all out for a single spot in the trial, this is not an action without reason!"

This was also true!

Feng Caidie hesitated for a few minutes and then said something that normal people did not know about, "I've heard a secret from my father before. There once was a scholar who had found a legend about the Central State Tower while exploring a ruin."

Chu Tian's eyes lit up, "What is it?!"

"Central State Tower has an eternally lost problem hidden within!"

"Eternally lost problem, what kind of problem is this!"

"This is the legend." Feng Caidie shrugged and said, "But since it is an eternally lost problem, it is definitely very difficult. From ancient times to the present, no one has solved it, but it is said that as long as someone can solve it, it would reveal an ancient secret or even the secret to transcend life and death..."

Pa!

The jade teacup was shattered.

Meng Qingwu and Meng Yingying were shocked.

The two of them had never seen Chu Tian like this.

Chu Tian had stood up and his entire aura had changed, as if he had become a completely different person, "Does this mystery truly exist?"

"It's only a legend and no one has seen it before, but since the legend can spread, then perhaps it isn't a rumour." Feng Caidie never imagined that Chu Tian would be this interested in this topic, "If you want to know, then you've have to go in and search!"

Chu Tian returned to his previous appearance and he rubbed his chin as he said, "This is a little interesting! It seems like I will need to research this! What else is in the trial?"

"Survival!" Feng Caidie continued, "The trial will present several survival challenges. The longer one survives in the trial, the richer their rewards will be."

Feng Caidie pulled out a book from her sleeve, "This is experience left behind over fifty years from ten different trial participants, I hope it will be of help to you!"

"The preceders' experiences will be just for reference. The trial's composition will be changing and will be different every time, but the original goal will be the same. It will test one's strength, knowledge, and destiny!"

The technology used to create this trial tower was not simple.

For the Southern Summer Country barren in spiritual qi, this is a wondrous trial that should not have appeared. However, the continent's spiritual veins were constantly changing and perhaps in ancient times, this area's spiritual qi was not as desolate as it was now.

"The trials will start soon! Study the notes well. Caidie will no longer bother brother Chu! I'll be leaving first!"

Before Feng Caidie left, she asked Meng Yingying for a few cans of food, so she could give them to the Divine Wind Marquis to have a taste. Meng Yingying did not dare to not give her some and she gave Caidie a full box.

Chapter 166: Beginning of the trial

"Elder sister Caidie is truly generous, she really is the Divine Wind Marquis' daughter!"

Meng Yingying pulled out two jade bottles from the little box and continued to sing out praises. Pills that used level two Elixirs to refine were very valuable and couldn't necessarily be bought even if one had money.

"Elder sister and I now have hope to break through the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer!"

Meng Qingwu looked at Chu Tian with a strange expression, "This young miss Feng seems quite familiar with you, she doesn't just look like an acquaintance."

Meng Yingying felt something was wrong when she heard this.

How could this be allowed!

She placed the jade bottle back in and slapped the cover back on. Her hands were on her hips as she said, "Speaking so frankly and not denying a gift at all. What is your relationship!"

The two sisters were working together!

Chu Tian revealed a helpless look, "Do you need to worry about this?"

"Nonsense!" Meng Yingying said in an unreasonable manner, "If we're not strict on you, who knows how many girls you will kidnap!"

Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?

Chu Tian honestly told them everything.

Meng Yingying finally understood everything, "No wonder the Divine Wind Marquis would appear to save us after the Ye Family surrounded South Sky City! Elder sister Feng Caidie seems like a very good person! She is the Divine Wind Marquis' daughter and has a respected and aloof status, you aren't allowed to have any ideas or bully her, do you understand!"

"Alright, alright, I won't have any ideas about her!"

Meng Yingying winked at her sister and revealed a triumphant smile.

When did this stinking little girl become a small tiger?

She's really going against the heavens!

What a joke, when does an upstanding person like me need to have ideas about others? Normally it's others who have ideas about me, alright?

"Back on topic, you need to be careful in the Central State Trials." Meng Qingwu had already heard rumours of the Central State tower before, so she knew just how important the Central State Trials were for people, "Because of you, the Chu, Luo, and Ye Family juniors have lost the chance to participate, so they will definitely hold a grudge against you for this. Other than the top six for the Central State Great Games, the Central State Four Young Masters will be participating as well. Although the Yun Family is supporting you, with just the power of the Purple Lightning Young Master, you cannot stop the others."

Of the Four Young Masters, the Purple Lightning Young Master was ranked fourth.

When Yun Yao broke through to the 4th Awakened Soul Layer and after she obtained the Soul Contracting Thunder Spirit Bead, her strength was about the same as Ye Tianlang's. She was even not that far from Luo Xianglong, but that was just compared to those two.

It would be hopeless for her to compete with Chu Xinghe. The strength of the head of the Four Young Masters was greater than the sum of the other three's.

The Heavenly Sword Young Master, the Dragon Tiger Young Master, and the Heavenly Wolf Young Master, if these three Illustrious Soul experts attacked Chu Tian at the same time, could he even finish the trial?

Meng Qingwu continued to remind, "You can't look down on the Central State Four Great Families. These families have existed in Central State City for two-three hundred years now. Even if they are afraid of the Divine Wind Marquis and don't dare to move against you, that does not mean that they will not try to assassinate you."

"Assassinate? If they had the skills, I would have already lost my head and there would be no need to wait until now!" Chu Tian smiled and said, "Relax, a small family in a small city in a small country, what can they do? They are just showing off their power over their limited domain!"

Meng Qingwu then said, "Other than that, while I was still in South Sky City, I received some news. The Central State Four Great Families have already tried to secretly decipher our technology."

Chu Tian was a little surprised, but did not really care.

This was hard to avoid!

Every time a new talisman or pill appeared on the market, it would draw the attention of the large families. If these items had a high turnover rate, then they would invest a lot into trying to decipher the production method.

The prospects of the source energy lights and source energy cooking were great, it was impossible for the large families to not be jealous. No matter how meticulous Meng Qingwu was, it was impossible for them to not obtain a source energy light. Once they obtained the light, then if they could pass through the source energy array printed, they could reverse the design of the array.

If the source energy design was found out.

Then the source energy lamp technology would be exposed!

It was the same idea with the source energy cooking pots.

This was one of the current era's most common competitive strategy. There were no such things as patents in the current era and even the country itself silently agreed to this kind of method. Everyone depended on their own strength, so while inventing was strength, it was also strength to decipher a design. Whoever could come up with the invention, they had the right to produce it.

Although it was difficult to reverse an array design, the complexity of a level one source energy was limited. The large families had several hundred scholars gathered just for deciphering these kinds of technology. They could send the source energy array to the Imperial City and find a specialized master or use money to hire the great scholars to decipher it.

Once the technology was deciphered, Miracle Commerce's production forces would not have any advantages. These large families had strong productive forces and could reach the market ten times faster than Miracle Commerce. Miracle Commerce's technology would become someone else's cash tree then!

Chu Tian gave a relaxed smile, "There's no need to worry. Even though my source energy array is a level one array, those idiots can give up on understanding it within three-five years. Even if they can understand one part, what they make will be defective. If they cannot guarantee the item's stability, it cannot compete with Miracle Commerce's goods at all. Acting like this will just harm them, so we'll just let them develop their items. After they make some products, we will let them eat the dirt behind our asses!"

With Chu Tian saying this

Meng Qingwu felt much assured.

Meng Qingwu had the Heavenly Book Source Spirit's intelligence boosting powers and still had only understood a part of the design. Although she did not understand the array itself, after all, Southern Cloud Commerce had been a talisman producing family, so isn't this killing the pig, but not getting to eat pig meat?

Regardless of Chu Tian's source energy array's style or shape, it was far ahead of the current era's technology and was ahead of it by several years. To completely decipher this level one array was something impossible for a small country like the Southern Cloud Country. Even those gigantic countries would find this to be a challenge.

As for being able to decipher a part, perhaps they would be able to make an electric lamp or a source energy pot, but it would be inferior in terms of stability, sensitivity and safety. It would not be able to compare with Miracle Commerce and would only serve as a low grade product.

Let them try to decipher it!

This thing was just basic level technology anyway.

Chu Tian did not care about it from the beginning.

What Chu Tian cared most right now was increasing his strength, and Central State Tower would be a chance to do so. Moreover, in Central State Tower, there was a legendary ten thousand year old lost problem that made him very interested.

...…..

After several days.

It was time for the Central State Trials!

The Central State Towers was the event that Central State City cared the most about.

This was an opportunity that came once every five years. Sometimes there were people that pulled out ancient weapons or treasures. There were even times that people had pulled out inherited cultivation techniques or countless rare pills. There were even times where sacred level pill materials were pulled out. How could the large families not be anxious over this?

"The forbidden area is opening!"

"We ask the trial participants to enter now!"

This was a powerful shout.

Central State City's Great General Xiong Wuji led his troops to completely surround the ruins.

The Four Great Families came with magnificent honour guards, slowly walking into Central State's forbidden ruins. The mighty beast carriages they drove exuded a majestic and powerful aura.

Central State Tower!

The base that Central State City was built around!

It was because there was this trial tower that there was a bustling Central State City!

The Central State Tower was not like the Ten Thousand Corpses Ancient Tomb, it did not have a restriction on one's cultivation base. As long as one was below thirty years old, they would be able to enter the trial.

So, having a higher cultivation base would give one an advantage. With Chu Xinghe's overwhelming strength, this was an advantage never seen in the Central State Trial before. So, this battle was destined to be a very intense fight.

The Central State Tower was thirty meters tall, standing above the ancient city ruins. It was snow white just like white jade, shrouded in a layer of dim glory. An ancient and mysterious aura was exuded by it. Even after corroding for over ten thousand years, it was still looked new, with not a single thing wrong with it.

It seemed like even the strongest power in the world could not do a thing to it.

On the first day Chu Tian came to the city, he felt as if the main city was covered in a special ancient aura.

The source seemed to be this.

The Four Great Families surrounded the Central State Tower, waiting for the trial to begin.

Chu Shanhe, Ye Wudao, and Luo Liancheng, each one of them had a sinister look on their faces because these past few days had not been good for them.

The three families had sent a group of assassins to kill Chu Tian, but the result was that every single one sent did not come back alive!

That old man named Yun could not keep protecting them!

When the three great families noticed a silent black figure behind Chu Tian, they finally realized that it was Chen Bingyu!

It was that woman!

They could guess that it was that woman who took care of all the assassins that they sent.

Chen Bingyu had always been indifferent as ice, so why did she insist on protecting Chu Tian like this?!

God dammit!

With this woman by Chu Tian's side, it was impossible for them to assassinate him. It would be the same even if the three family head personally made a move. It could be accomplished only if they contacted the ancestors who had closed up or were out wandering, but was that easily accomplished?

Their eyes were filled with hate.

They were like arrows piercing into Chu Tian.

Yun Tianhe had a heavy heart as he said to Chu Tian in a low voice, "You cannot die in the trials, so if you are caught by them, just take yourself out. Otherwise, you will be humiliated by them."

Meng Qingwu was also here. When she heard what Yun Tianhe said, her heart filled with worry.

Although a person could not die in the trial, they could still be heavily injured and crippled. Chu Tian participating in this trial was very dangerous.

Chu Tian had a relaxed look on his face as if he was ignoring everything. Seeing the Ye Wudao father and son combo, he even intentionally went forward to give them a warm greeting, "Yo, isn't it the stray dog young master! Last time I accidentally chopped off your arm and I feel very guilty about it, but I never would have thought that you would heal so quickly. I really feel much better now! But I must advise you, you shouldn't act so mischievously in the future or else you'll lose more than just two arms."

Stray dog young master?!

Everyone looked over with a strange gaze!

Ye Tianlang's fair face turned completely red.

That bitter experience he had in South Sky City was the nightmare that would stick with him for a lifetime!

Ye Wudao's face turned sinister. If it weren't for Yun Tianhe and Chen Bingyu being here, he would have slapped this wild brat to death already!

"How long can you act this proudly?" Ye Tianlang revealed an ugly expression, "As long as you enter the trial, I will make you beg for death!"

Chu Tian trembled and with very fake acting, he revealed a frightened expression. "The stray dog young master is angry, I'm so scared!"

Luo Xianglong gave a snort.

Although he did not have a good relationship with Ye Tianlang, he at least shared a title with him. If Chu Tian disregarded the Four Young Master like this, could he accept it?

Chu Xinghe meditated with his eyes close, not making a sound.

Chu Tian also stopped because the trial was more important.

The little fox poked out its head from his clothes, "Zhi, zhi!"

Chu Tian patted its head, "What's wrong? You want to take a look too? But you are a living creature, can you even go into the trial tower?"

The little fox stretched out its claws and signaled that it was ok.

"Alright then!" Chu Tian rolled his eyes, "Don't implicate me and get me kicked out!"

It's fine!

You can be assured!

The little fox confidently returned into his clothes.

The earth suddenly trembled and the sky quickly darkened. A piece of the sun seemed like it had been blocked by something and it was slowly becoming bigger.

Eclipse!

The Central State Tower opening caused an eclipse?

A thunderbolt fell, landing on the Central State Tower, and a surge of energy entered the tower.

A large amount of runes appeared in the air, and the tightly shut jade door suddenly slowly vanished. A white light bloomed from the pathway that appeared in front of everyone.

An ancient and mysterious aura spilled out.

It made people feel that as long as they entered this pathway, they would enter into a different world, a completely different world!

"Let the participants enter the tower!"

Chu Xinghe, Luo Xianglong, Ye Tianlang, and Yun Yao, the Four Young Masters stood in front.

Chu Tian, Nangong Yung, Feng Caidie, Yun Xiao, Lin Mu, and Fang Han, the six of them followed closely behind. The little fox was hiding in Chu Tian's clothes and it released an ash gray energy that slowly covered it as it went into the pathway with Chu Tian.

The trial had now officially begun!

Chapter 167: Knowledge is power!

The moment they entered, the heaven and earth trembled and everything shook around them. The spiritual energy and space continued to change around them just like a raging tsunami pouring forward, instantly surrounding their world and creating the trial world.

A giant palace was slowly being born.

Chu Tian first pulled open his clothes and saw a furry snow white head pop out. The little fox grinned at Chu Tian and revealed a proud look.

"I didn't see it before, but you really do have talents!"

Chu Tian had read through Feng Caidie's notes and it had said that the trial tower did not allow anyone to bring living beings in with them. So battle pets and normal pets were usually not allowed to enter.

This little fox had resisted the tower's restrictions and had come in with Chu Tian!

The little fox returned into his clothes.

Chu Tian paid no more attention to it and began to look around himself. This place was like a palace, but it wasn't actually a palace, but rather a crossroad.

There were pathways all around him, each one leading to a deep corridor!

Although it was a crossroad, because it was too big, it looked like he was inside of a giant palace.

A single pillar was two hundred meters tall!

There was enough space for sixty-seventy people to surround it!

Each floor tile was around thirty-forty square meters!

The giant ancient copper lamp floating in the sky above him was as big as a house!

To sum it up, everything here seemed like it had been enlarged over ten times. Humans were no different to ants in this place!

Three different killing intents suddenly enveloped Chu Tian.

There was no need to think about this to know that it was the Heavenly Sword Young Master, the Dragon Tiger Young Master, and the Heavenly Wolf Young Master. Their hatred for Chu Tian was very deep, so how could they tolerate him participating in this trial?

The trial space did not allow anyone to die, but it would kick Chu Tian out, thus ending his chance to obtain anything!

How could Chu Tian not understand what these children were thinking?

Whether it was Chu Xinghe or the other two, Chu Tian was not their match! If it really did come down to a frontal battle, Chu Tian did not have a chance at all.

This was a little bad!

A single slash from Chu Xinghe would send him home, what trial would be left for him then!

But, it was a good thing that the trial space had not completely formed yet. The ten of them had no way of moving, giving Chu Tian a chance to look around.

The ten of them were all locked inside a large cage by themselves with bars as large as a person's arm. The surface was covered in runes that seemed like they came from a foreign ancient race that Chu Tian was not familiar with, but he could tell that they formed a protection array.

If one's force reached a certain point, it would activate the barrier on the cage.

In other words, it was hard to break through with pure force.

The jet black gates had a lock on it and this lock was very specially shaped. It was like a cube, or to be more accurate, a very complex cube. Each side had an area of sixteen by sixteen and the shapes were irregular.

This is a little interesting!

Chu Tian rubbed his chin and the corners of his lips revealed a faint smile!

From Feng Caidie's notes, Chu Tian had already learned this trial's style. Although it liked to test strength, the tests were still filled with solving secrets. If the trial participant had enough wisdom and knowledge, they would be able to do more with half the effort.

In terms of force, Chu Tian was not a match for any one of the Four Young Masters.

But if it was in terms of knowledge...Even if the Four Great Families were gathered together, he still would not care about them!

Chu Tian looked at his surroundings and saw giant corridors around him, each one being around 90-120 meters wide. From the viewpoint of a human, how was this a crossroad? This was simply a giant plaza!

The overall style had a wild and large aura to it.

It was even a little familiar!

Chu Tian was a very knowledgeable scholar and had seen the palaces of ancient giants in books before. This style and trial environment was very similar and because of this, he could tell that this trial was built by the giant race.

To the right and left of the corridors were giant holes, and in those holes were statues. The statues were forty-fifty meters tall and had the appearance of bodyguards wearing heavy armour. Some were holding spears and some were holding swords, there were even some holding giant axes. The point was, they all had different weapons.

On each of the giant statues, there were source energy arrays engraved on them!

Chu Tian's brows slightly knit together.

Aiyaya!

This is quite incredible!

It only took a few seconds for all the surroundings to form.

"Chu Tian!" Ye Tianlang shouted while standing in a cage. He had a sinister look on his monstrous face as he angrily gritted his teeth. He was just like a wild beast, "The time has come to pay you back with interest!"

Luo Xianglong's face was also dark and he had a cold killing intent around him, "You are all so weak, so it was easy for you to deal with those waste. Did you really think you had the qualification to join this trial? Meeting us today, this is as far as you will go!"

Chu Xinghe said nothing. He was wearing a white robe with a blue outer jacket, his hair was tied with a jade crown and there was a black and golden cape dancing in the wind. There was also a golden treasure sword tied to his back!

That treasure sword began to vibrate.

Just like a suppressed flood dragon, prepared to soar out at any moment.

Although he did not say anything, the dangerous aura Chu Xinghe emitted was much stronger than the two idiots screaming on the side!

Once there was a chance!

Chu Xinghe would make a move first, not giving those two fellows a turn at all.

Yun Yao was wearing a purple and blue battle cloak. The power of lightning coming from the Thunder Spirit Bead began to slowly surround her body and the streaks of lightning began to turn her hair an even darker blue colour. She used a cold voice to say, "The trial area is not a place for personal grudges!"

"Humph, humph, humph! That is beyond your control!" Long Xianglong seemed a little scared of her Thunder Spirit Bead as he coldly said, "Yun Yao, you have made a mistake standing on the wrong side! Therefore you have to pay the price!"

"Fuck you!" Nangong Yun's violent temper flared as she screamed, "Aren't you just depending on the fact that your cultivation base is higher? If this old lady reaches the same level, I'll beat you like the dog you are!"

This was just pretending to be strong.

Nangong Yun was very clear that with her and Chu Tian's strength, it was inferior to the weakest member of the Four Young Masters, Yun Yao. The main thing was that the gap in cultivation bases was too big, not to mention that the Four Young Masters were all shocking talents. This kind of gap in strength was too hard to surpass.

Feng Caidie was wearing a long robe and she held the Divine Wind Sword in her hand. Her brows were knit as she said, "Do you really have to do this? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble for yourself? There is no grudge that can't be settled, so why do you want to go all out against Chu Tian!"

"Young miss Feng, I won't make a move against you since you are the Divine Wind Marquis' daughter." A cruel glow flashed in Ye Tianlang's monstrous eyes, "But if you're trying to use the Divine Wind Marquis' reputation to settle this grudge, you are caring too much!"

Ye Tianlang's grudge with Chu Tian was very deep.

With the trial space not allowing anyone to die and just kicking them out, this was a very precious opportunity for him. Could the Divine Wind Marquis use this as an excuse and take action against them?

Other than Feng Caidie.

The others would all be taken care of!

Yun Xiao, Lin Mu, and Fang Han all had helpless looks on their faces.

"I said I didn't want to come, but grandfather forced me to!" Yun Xiao had a helpless appearance, "This time, not only will I not be able to obtain the treasures of Central State Tower, I'll even be beaten to the edge of death. I might as well just send myself out now!"

Nangong Yun shouted, "Do you have any ambition at all!"

At this moment, the entire space shook and several beams of light suddenly appeared in front of them. It entered their bodies and a necklace appeared on their necks. There was a white jade card hanging from the necklace, releasing a bright light.

"The trial token has been activated!"

"The trial token will record a participant's score! The longer a participant lives, the higher their score will be. Every performance the participant gives in the trial space will give them a chance to earn trial points!"

"The trial will now begin!"

The voice sounded in their minds, completely cold, without a trace of emotion. It was as if it was just to explain the rules.

The little fox excitedly poked out its head and pointed at its neck with its claws while having a proud look on his face.

The little fellow had a miniature jade token on his neck!

The trial space did not have a problem with him at all. Did it just not care about it and allow it to become a participant? How did it look like a participant!

It's fine!

Wouldn't an extra participant mean more prizes?

Once the trial began, a vibration came from all around them. The ten of them could clearly see that the motionless statues were actually trembling. Large cracks appeared on the stone surface and a terrifying aura like an oppressive volcano began to pour out.

This is bad!

The stone giants were awakening!

Everyone revealed a look of panic and even Chu Xinghe revealed a frown.

The giants released a terrifying aura that was close to the peak of the Illustrious Soul Realm, close to the True Soul Realm!

For such a terrifying existence, even if it was Chu Xinghe, he would only be able to fight one with great difficulty. Not to mention that there were so many of them!

Once the giants regained consciousness.

Then the ten of them would face a disaster!

The worst thing was that the ten of them were trapped in cages, and if they could not escape the cages soon, they would fall into the giants' hands.

"Sword!"

Chu Xinghe gave a loud roar.

The treasure sword came out of its sheath and letting out a dragon's roar, a golden sword light slashed against the cage.

The entire cage shook quite fiercely, but large runes appeared around it and released a strong barrier. It had actually absorbed Chu Xinghe's peerless strike!

Ye Tianlang and Luo Xianglong also went full out against the cages. The result was that it was all blocked by the cage's barrier.

Yun Xiao, Lin Mu, and Fang Han were stunned.

These terrifying characters were finding it this hard to break through the cage, so what chance did they have? With their weak strengths, they could only silently watch the giants come over and squash them all into meat patties!

Nangong Yun said in a depressed voice, "Boss, isn't this situation bad? What should we do!"

"What are you worried about? You still have me!" Chu Tian looked at her with a gaze of disdain, "You are their elder sister, how could you lose your courage so easily?"

Nangong Yun spat out and said, "If it was just stepping forward, of course this old lady would not be scared. The problem is, we're about to get squashed!"

"Watch me!"

Chu Tian casually walked to the front of the cage and picked up the cube shaped lock.

Shua, shua, shua, shua!

His hands moved at an incredible speed!

This irregular sixteen by sixteen super complex cube was quickly turning in Chu Tian's fingers, moving at a speed that the naked eye could not keep up with.

Ka, ka, ka, ka!

After around three minutes, the cube released a complicated sound and the sunken parts all slowly returned as the faces of the cube turned back into squares. Six source energy arrays appeared on the six sides, releasing a light and with a peng sound, the cube turned into powder.

Chu Tian's jade token lit up and two voices sounded in his mind.

"You have successfully escaped from the cage! You have been awarded five trial points! You currently have five trial points!"

"You have solved the cube! You have been awarded twenty trial points! You currently have twenty five trial points!"

Chu Tian gently pushed out and the cage slowly opened.

He casually walked through and when he saw the Chu, Luo, and Ye young masters wildly attacking the cage, he began to laugh. He intentionally swaggered over and used a pitying and mocking gaze to look at them as he said, "The unintelligent are quite terrifying! Didn't you want to kill me? Come, come, come quickly, come all at once!"

The three young masters flew into a rage!

How did this brat do it?

That cube was not a normal cube toy. Each piece was a rune and there were sixteen by sixteen runes on each side. The cube did not work like a normal cube where you had to make each side the same colour, rather you had to make it so each side had the same kinds of runes, but these were ancient runes and normal people found it hard to recognize them. Not to mention picking out certain ones and making it so everything matched. This kind of complex cube was not something a person could do, so how did he finish it?

Nangong Yun excitedly shouted, "Boss! Too handsome! Help me open this cage!"

"Don't rush, I'm coming now!"

Chu Tian walked in front of Nangong Yun and reached into the cage to grab the cube. His hands moved incredibly quickly and after several hundred moves, he completed it in less than three minutes.

With a peng sound!

The cube puzzle was reduced to ashes!

The cold voice once again sounded in Chu Tian's mind!

"You have solved the cube! You have been awarded twenty trial points! You currently have forty five trial points!"

"You have solved the cube! You have been awarded twenty trial points! You currently have sixty five trial points!"

"You have solved the cube! You have been awarded twenty trial points! You currently have eighty five trial points!"

"..."

Just by solving the seven cubes, Chu Tian had obtained a total of one hundred and forty trial points. Yun Yao, Feng Caidie, Nangong Yun, and the others all received five points for escaping the cage.

Chu Tian had a total of one hundred and forty five trial points!

What kind of concept was this?

When Chu Tian had looked through the notes, he saw that there were a few participants that had around one hundred-two hundred trial points by the time they finished the trial.

Chu Tian had accomplished this in the beginning! It was a magnificent feat that was hard to imagine!

The trial designer probably never imagined that this would happen!

The cube lock was a very high level challenge and just the time required to solve one was very incredible. Only with the knowledge from a top grade scholar could one solve it this quickly.

The cube lock was not an eternally lost problem. Over the years, there have been a few that had solved it before.

That was why the reward was as high as twenty trial points.

The trial designer would never have imagined that there would be a person that could not only solve his own cube, but also even have enough time to help others solve their cubes and use this method to gain trial points!

Chu Tian was this kind of monstrous talent.

Opening these seven cubes was as simple as drinking water to him!

Chu Tian looked at the jade token on his chest and saw that there were ancient numbers on the token, showing a 145. Even if Chu Xinghe escaped at this moment and killed Chu Tian with a single slash, Chu Tian had already earned one hundred and forty five trial points so it was enough for him to get several elixirs already. It was impossible for him to go back empty handed now!

Having knowledge allowed one to act this way!
