Conceptual melting pot, the fusion of all realms starting from the Qin Dynasty.

"The Yin Gui Sect still has some influence in this world. If our Yin Gui Sect can help, then the Yin Gui Sect will definitely do its best to help Mr. Chen Hao."

This is Zhu Yuyan's investment in Chen Hao!

The publicly known Grandmaster-level martial artists in this world are Ning Daoqi, the Central Plains Hermit; Bi Xuan, the Turkic Martial Venerable; and Fu Cailin, the Goguryeo Sword Master.

While there are many martial artists like Zhu Yuyan who have remained at the Grandmaster level for many years and accumulated profound true qi, the small step from the Grandmaster level to the Great Grandmaster level has trapped the vast majority of them.

If comprehending the martial arts will allows one to break through to the Grandmaster realm, then to break through to the Great Grandmaster realm, "083" must project his martial arts will outward, interfering with reality with his spiritual will.

The biggest difference between the Grandmaster realm and the Master realm is that the Grandmaster can take advantage of the power of heaven and earth to make it their own.

Therefore, it is very difficult for a martial artist at the Grandmaster level to defeat a martial artist at the Great Grandmaster level.

However, after seeing Chen Hao, Yan Fei, and Jing Ni, these three exceptionally talented Grandmaster-level martial artists, Zhu Yuyan felt that the bottleneck that allowed Grandmaster-level martial artists to advance to the Great Grandmaster realm was simply no obstacle for the three of them.

They will inevitably take that step and become martial artists at the Grandmaster level.

It's even possible that Chen Hao and the other two will surpass the Grandmaster level and achieve a realm that is absolutely rare in this world.

Although the relationship between the two sides had become somewhat strained due to Bian Bufu's actions, Zhu Yuyan felt that she could still manage to improve their relationship through Wanwan's connection.

"Thank you very much, Sect Leader Zhu!" Chen Hao didn't stand on ceremony and said directly to Zhu Yuyan, "If Sect Leader Zhu wants to help, please help me collect some Qimen Dunjia, mechanical arts, various classics, martial arts and miscellaneous skills, medical books, and so on."

"Compared to my world, your world has developed for nearly a thousand years longer and has accumulated a great deal of wisdom."

"These have been a great help to me!"

Zhu Yuyan nodded knowingly and said softly, "If that's all there is to it, the Yin Gui Sect will do its best to help you collect it."

"However, what our Yin Gui Sect can collect may only be some superficial classics available on the market."

"Those mysterious martial arts manuals, medical books, and so on, I'm afraid Mr. Chen Hao will have to find another way."

“Of course I know that!” Chen Hao nodded. “Afterwards, I will create a city where all the heavens converge, and acquire the knowledge I want through fair trade and barter.”

"I hope Sect Leader Zhu will take good care of me then."

"Oh?!" Zhu Yuyan felt that she had heard some remarkable information in Chen Hao's words, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Then I look forward to Mr. Chen Hao's work."

...

Zhu Yuyan and Chen Hao talked for a while, and then they went their separate ways.

Watching Zhu Yuyan, Wen Caiting, and Danmei leave, Wanwan patted her ample chest and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"You scared me to death! I almost thought you were going to fight with Master and the others, Chenhao."

Within the Yin Gui Sect, Wanwan only cared about her master, Zhu Yuyan, and the "silver-haired enchantress" Danmei who raised her.

She didn't want to see a conflict between the person she cared about and the person she loved most.

"How could that be?" Chen Hao chuckled. "Sect Leader Zhu is still Wanwan's master, no matter what. Even for Wanwan's sake, I won't do anything to her."

Of course, it's impossible for Chen Hao to not fight back or talk back when hit or insulted.

If Zhu Yuyan really tries to use her relationship with Wanwan to cause trouble for him, then although Chen Hao doesn't want to hurt her, he will still make sure Zhu Yuyan loses her fighting ability.

Zhu Yuyan's accumulated Heavenly Demon True Qi over decades might be terrifying to others, but for Chen Hao, it was merely a matter of expending a little more effort.

Wanwan rolled her eyes at Chen Hao, annoyed: "Do you think you can fight with Master now that things have been going so well?"

Before Chen Hao could respond, Wanwan looked at Bian Bufu's corpse and let out a helpless sigh: "I really don't know what Master was thinking?"

"If we hadn't let Uncle-Master Bian Bufu come along, this meeting would have been much more successful, wouldn't it?"

Poor Bian Bufu, the second-in-command of the Yin Gui Sect, was instantly ignored by everyone after his death.

Click-clack~ Click-clack~~!

Chen Hao released a divine puppet and ordered it to dispose of Bian Bufu's corpse.

So that he wouldn't keep lying under everyone's noses and getting in their way.

After the Divine Machine Puppet disappeared carrying Bian Bufu's corpse, Chen Hao looked at Wei Zhenzhen, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling, who were hiding in the distance: "The battle is over, why don't you three come out quickly?"

Pushed and shoved by Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, Wei Zhenzhen walked over shyly: "Young Master Chen!"

"Brother Chen!" Kou Zhong gave Chen Hao a fawning smile, then mustered his courage and asked Chen Hao expectantly, "Do you think it's too late for Ziling and me to start learning martial arts now?"

Xu Ziling, standing to the side, also looked at Chen Hao expectantly...

After witnessing the battle between Chen Hao, Yan Fei, and Bian Bufu, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were both envious of Chen Hao and Yan Fei's magnificent magic and amazed by the destructive power they could cause with a casual gesture.

This only intensified their desire to learn martial arts.

Chen Hao looked at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were looking forward to the meeting, and said with a light smile, "Kou Zhong, you are seventeen years old this year, and Xu Ziling is sixteen years old. The two of you have excellent aptitude for martial arts and can be considered to have outstanding physical qualities."

"But you have already missed the best age to learn martial arts. Your muscles and bones have already been formed, and it will be very difficult to achieve anything by practicing ordinary techniques."

When Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling heard Chen Hao say that they had good aptitude, they were happy; but when they heard Chen Hao say that they had missed the best age to learn martial arts, they felt sad.

However, upon hearing the last sentence, Xu Ziling immediately blurted out:

"Could there be some extraordinary cultivation technique?"

“Of course I have extraordinary cultivation techniques!” Chen Hao smiled and nodded, then took out the “Longevity Manual” from his spatial ring: “The Longevity Manual in my hand is one of the four great books of this world. It is quite destined to be with you two, and the Longevity Manual is also extremely compatible with you two.”

"As long as you can master the Longevity Technique, you will be able to become a Grandmaster in just a few years."

"But...I wonder if you two dare to practice?"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at the "Longevity Manual" in Chen Hao's hand and said in unison:

"The Longevity Mantra 4.3?!" ×2

Although they were just small-time hoodlums in Yangzhou, they had heard of the famous "Longevity Manual".

So when Chen Hao said that he could let them cultivate the "Longevity Manual", Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling immediately showed excited expressions.

Just as Kou Zhong was overjoyed, the introverted and silent Xu Ziling was the first to come to his senses and noticed the unusual thing Chen Hao said: "Mr. Chen Hao, you asked us if we dare to practice the Longevity Technique?"

"Could it be that there are some side effects to practicing this 'Longevity Technique'?"

Reminded by Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong then noticed Chen Hao's last sentence and exclaimed in astonishment, "That's right! Could it be that, as Ziling said, one has to pay some price to cultivate the Longevity Technique?"

Chapter 167 Recruiting Two Dragons as Underlings and Teaching The Art of Eating Essence

"Looks like you two have realized what's going on!"

Faced with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's questions, Chen Hao raised the "Longevity Manual" in his hand and smiled mysteriously: "The entry point of the 'Longevity Manual' is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through acupoints to replenish oneself and directly cultivate innate true energy."

"However, as a Taoist practice, the Longevity Manual is also particularly outstanding in refining essence into qi."

"Therefore, the Longevity Manual will have a certain impact on the fertility of practitioners, and may cause them to become infertile."

In the later part of the original world, Kou Zhong had many female confidantes, but none of them had children for him; Xu Ziling did have a daughter, but only one.

While the Longevity Formula's influence on a practitioner's fertility is not absolute, it is by no means insignificant.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exclaimed in shock, "Infertility?!"

Then the two of them looked at each other, their expressions instantly becoming hesitant:

"this..."

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no one is the greatest.

Influenced by the thoughts of Confucius and Mencius, the 27 people of Huaxia have deeply engraved filial piety, brotherly love, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame into their very bones.

Even petty thugs like Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were not immune to being subtly influenced by his teachings.

If they hadn't known that the "Longevity Manual" would cause infertility, neither of them would have refused such a divine skill manual. However, after learning about the consequences, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling couldn't help but hesitate.

Chinese people would not choose to be infertile unless they had no other choice.

Moreover, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are at the age of youthful infatuation and high spirits, and with Chen Hao protecting them, the two of them, who have no sense of crisis, would naturally not make such a choice.

Wei Zhenzhen's words, spoken from the side, became the final straw that led them to make their choice.

Startled, Wei Zhenzhen immediately looked at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling with concern and said anxiously:

"Xiao Zhong, Xiao Ling, do not practice this kind of technique."

“You are still young and have not yet had children to continue your family line. You absolutely cannot lose your fertility because of this.”

"And you will meet women you like in the future, so you can't let them suffer the pain of being unable to have children."

Wei Zhenzhen earnestly warned Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling:

"For a woman, the most painful thing is not being able to have children with her lover, and such a life is also incomplete."

Hearing Wei Zhenzhen's anxious advice from the side, Kou Zhong quickly said with a forced smile, "No! No! I'm still young, and I don't want to lose my fertility for no reason."

"In that case, what's the difference between them and eunuchs?"

"Don't worry, Sister Zhen!" Xu Ziling nodded silently as well: "Neither of us will do anything we'll regret for the rest of our lives in a moment of impulse for the sake of a cultivation technique."

"That's good! That's good!"

After seeing Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling give up, Wei Zhenzhen patted her chest and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At this moment, Chen Hao did not notice that when Wei Zhenzhen said those words, Yan Fei, Jing Ni and Wan Wan, the three women beside him, almost simultaneously raised their hands to touch their lower abdomens, and a strange meaning flashed in their eyes.
