My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

Inside the Ganquan County camp, Li Xuancang was receiving members of the Xuan Niao Merchant Guild.

"Lord Li, the Sunset Valley is inhabited by a large number of demonic beasts. If we could wipe them all out, it would be a huge gain."

Dong Linghui's eyes were eager, and he was already somewhat impatient.

Li Xuancang gently put down his teacup and said, "Why should I share in such a good thing?"

Monsters eat people, but people also treat monsters as prey.

Monsters are treasures from head to toe, and can even be refined into pills, so they are often hunted by humans.

The Xuan Niao Merchant Guild discovered traces of a demonic beast and invited Li Xuancang to hunt it together and share the profits.

"My lord, you may not know this, but there are several powerful demons at the Qi Refining Realm in the canyon. We are not confident in dealing with them, so we have come to ask for your help."

Dong Linghui spoke the truth.

Although the Xuan Niao Chamber of Commerce is quite powerful, with several members at the Gang Qi Realm, it is still quite strong.

However, they were still not strong enough to deal with the monsters in the canyon.

In order to minimize their own casualties and to ensure that nothing goes wrong, they came to invite Li Xuancang to join them in the fight.

Li Xuancang said mockingly, "Since that's the case, I alone can wipe out all the monsters in the canyon, so why should I let you have a share?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Linghui was taken aback, but quickly recovered.

"With your strength, dealing with the monsters in the canyon would be effortless, but you are very busy and do not have time to deal with them. The Xuan Niao Merchant Guild can help you maximize your profits."

Dong Linghui also explained the role of the Xuan Niao Chamber of Commerce.

They traveled far and wide, exchanging the corpses of these monsters for maximum profit.

Li Xuancang neither agreed nor disagreed, but said, "I want to take 70%."

Dong Linghui's words made sense; Li Xuancang indeed did not have the time or energy to deal with the corpses of these demonic beasts.

After a moment's thought, Dong Linghui agreed.

"As you say, sir."

With Li Xuancang personally taking action, they faced no risk whatsoever. They only needed to exert a little effort to obtain 30% of the profits, which was already more than enough for them.

"We're leaving tomorrow!"

Li Xuancang is preparing to depart tomorrow.

The Sunset Valley is located within the territory of Ganquan County, and we will be able to reach it soon and resolve the issue quickly.

Ganquan County, Luoxia Valley.

The once quiet and deserted valley has suddenly become lively these days.

As Li Xuancang and the members of the Xuan Niao Chamber of Commerce arrived, they saw many people converging on the canyon.

"What's going on? Why are so many people here?"

Li Xuancang was puzzled, wondering why these people had come.

He didn't care; his immediate priority was to kill the monsters in the canyon.

Led by Dong Linghui, the group bypassed the crowd and quickly plunged into the depths of the canyon.

"roar!"

Within the canyon, deafening roars of beasts echoed intermittently, shaking the mountains and rivers.

"Lord Li, he's right here."

Dong Linghui pointed to the great rift valley in front of them, where the demonic beasts were located.

"Enter."

At Li Xuancang's command, everyone rushed into the ravine.

"roar!"

Upon smelling the presence of humans, the monsters in the rift valley immediately became agitated, roaring incessantly.

"There are over a hundred of them, that's quite surprising."

The demonic beasts before him were all at least at the Blood Condensation Realm, and there were five powerful demonic beasts at the Qi Condensation Realm, which greatly surprised Li Xuancang.

These monsters must have come from somewhere recently, otherwise they would have been discovered long ago.

"roar!"

The monster roared and charged at the group.

"boom!"

Li Xuancang unleashed his aura, creating a terrifying shockwave that uprooted mountains, felled trees, and sent sand and stones flying.

"puff!"

"Ugh!"

"roar!"

"..."

All the demonic beasts were blasted away by the shockwave.

Sensing Li Xuancang's terrifying aura, the demon beast trembled with fear and let out terrified whimpers.

"How terrifying, is this the Profound Realm?"

This was the first time Dong Linghui and the others had witnessed a Transcendent Realm expert make a move at such close range, and they were deeply shocked.

Even a mere wisp of breath was not something they could withstand.

"call out!"

Li Xuancang flew out and instantly arrived in front of the demonic beast.

"Bang!"

"puff!"

"laugh!"

"..."

The five-headed Qi-realm demon was severely injured and on the verge of death by Li Xuancang's punch, clinging to life with only a breath left.

Li Xuancang deliberately spared their lives so that he could sell them for a better price.

"puff……"

Li Xuancang's blood and qi transformed into a barrage of blades that swept across the sky, piercing through the bodies of hundreds of Blood Condensation Realm demonic beasts, instantly rendering them powerless to resist.

He was on his last breath, like a candle flickering in the wind.

"hiss……"

The members of the Xuan Niao Chamber of Commerce gasped, feeling a chill run down their spines.

The demonic beasts that they might not be able to defeat even if they fought desperately were so vulnerable in Li Xuancang's hands.

They were all taken down in a swift and decisive manner, leaving everyone utterly shocked.

"The rest is up to you. Just find out why so many people are coming to the canyon."

After defeating the monster, Li Xuancang prepared to leave.

The matter was handed over to the Xuan Niao Merchant Guild, and they were instructed to gather information.

"Yes, sir!"

Dong Linghui and the others immediately agreed.

Li Xuancang dared not leave Ganquan County for too long and quickly returned.

People kept coming to the canyon, the first to arrive being some independent cultivators without any sect or faction.

They came from all directions, mostly dressed simply and travel-worn, with a longing in their eyes.

That was the unique look in the eyes of a cultivator who had struggled at the bottom for too long, like parched land waiting for a spring rain.

Then came gang members, who swarmed in like sharks smelling blood.

The Xuan Niao Chamber of Commerce quickly found out the truth and reported the news to Li Xuancang.

A month ago, a rumor began to circulate.

Someone discovered an ancient cave deep in the Luoxia Valley. The cave's door was tightly closed, and ancient restriction patterns were carved on the door.

Some people recognized that this was the cave dwelling of a powerful figure who had passed away.

This means that there may be a large number of spirit stones, elixirs, and divine weapons inside.

And most importantly, the cultivation techniques and insights that powerful figure had cultivated throughout his life.

Any one of these items could be enough to turn a rogue cultivator's life around.

It can enable a small family to rise to the level of a mid-level power, and greatly increase the strength of a sect.

The news spread like wildfire, attracting countless people.

"The cave where a powerful figure passed away? Interesting."

Li Xuancang became interested.

Only a powerhouse at the late stage of the Profound Realm can set up a cave dwelling after passing away, and it is even possible that a powerhouse beyond the Profound Realm can do so.

Li Xuancang would naturally not miss the legacy left behind by such a powerful figure.

Although he doesn't need cultivation techniques or resources, his subordinates do.

They could even hand them over to the imperial court in exchange for military merits.
