Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

"What are the rules? My little disciple, Gu Chen, is only at the late True Yuan Realm. Can he defeat the other two groups?"

The mining gang, although only a second-rate force.

However, because he controlled the mining of a large number of mineral veins.

They are one of the downstream suppliers of raw materials to the Qizong sect.

This is of great importance to the Second Prince.

By controlling the mining gang, he could supply the Weaponry Sect with a large supply of rare iron ore next year to forge weapons, thus gaining their support.

Gu Chen back then.

He was recruited into the Second Prince's ranks by the Fire Profound Blade, a top-grade Xuan-level treasure weapon.

That precious weapon has been of great help to Gu Chen along the way.

This is one of the many factors that enabled him to take on challenges beyond his level.

"The rule is that each of the three parties will send out three experts below the sixth-grade Breakthrough Realm to fight. Whoever sends out all their people to defeat the other two parties will win." Qin Ming explained, "Your disciple Gu Chen is currently at the late True Essence Realm, so he has the combat power of a Perfect Breakthrough Realm expert. He has an advantage. Below the Breakthrough Realm, it's hard to find an opponent who can defeat him. Letting him fight might allow him to defeat the other two parties."

"If the rule only allows those below the Breaking Aperture Realm to participate in the battle, then Gu Chen does have an advantage," Shangguan Wuqing nodded in agreement.

"You should take this to heart. I heard that whoever is chosen by the Second Prince to fight for him will receive a divine ability he has collected as a reward," Qin Ming reminded him.

"Divine power!" Shangguan Wuqing exclaimed in surprise.

That's incredible!

This is an extraordinary item.

That's touching the rules of operation.

It's far beyond what any martial arts secret techniques can compare to.

Even the most powerful martial arts manuals created by terrestrial immortals are not as precious as a single supernatural power.

It's something that even terrestrial deities would be interested in.

Unexpectedly, the Second Prince was actually willing to give up one of the supernatural abilities he had collected as a reward!

"That's right." Qin Ming nodded. "If your little disciple can win for the Second Prince and obtain that divine ability, it will greatly benefit his future growth."

"Then I'll give him a Great Qi Condensation Pill, a Divine Aperture Pill, and a Thorn Acupuncture Grass as a reward this time," Shangguan Wuqing said.

"When I returned from the Desolate State before, I gave him a Gathering Pill to help him break through a minor realm. With this Great Condensation Pill, he should be able to break through to the True Essence Realm Perfection in no time. At that time, he can use his strongest combat power to help the Second Prince fight for control of the Mining Gang."

"The Divine Aperture Pill, as a sixth-grade breakthrough pill, combined with the Piercing Aperture Grass, will allow him to directly use these two resources to break through to the sixth-grade Aperture Breakthrough Realm once he has reached the Perfection of the True Essence Realm and stabilized his realm."

"Okay." Qin Ming nodded. These three resources, especially the Divine Aperture Pill and the Piercing Cave Grass, are extremely rare.

Even if you have the money, it's very difficult to buy it outside.

Although it is quite valuable, Gu Chen has made many contributions during this period and is qualified to receive it.

"Then let's arrange it this way." Shangguan Wuqing made the decision: "He was just promoted. Giving him these three resources, plus recording a merit for him, is enough to cover his merits this time and in the past."

"For the others, such as Gongsun Yuan, Luo Tianxing, Tie Yangtian, and Ling Gang, just reward them with the breakthrough resources needed for their respective realms," Shangguan Wuqing continued.

"You can arrange it." Qin Ming had no objections.

He could leave these matters to Shangguan Wuqing, who would then make the arrangements.

Gu Chen's official promotion process has been completed.

It would be perfect to send it to him along with these rewards.

He needs to negotiate with Old Man Geng now, as Gongsun Yuan and the others have been quite thorough in their planning this time.

It was discovered that Old Man Geng had actually accepted dirty money.

They did not directly arrest and expose his subordinates.

This can be considered as giving Old Man Geng some face.

It might help Old Man Geng lean more towards their faction.

Old Geng's debt of gratitude may come in handy in the future.

Meanwhile.

Deep in the mountains of Shiwan.

Inside a restricted area.

The headquarters of the massive cult, the Mitian Cult.

An envoy from the Mitian Sect in Zhenshi County came to report to the elder in charge of the second-rate heretical sects under his command: "The Blood Soul Sect has been wiped out by the Night Watch."

The elder was startled upon hearing this.

He usually controls and operates the Blood Soul Cult.

He was also the one who helped the leader of the Blood Soul Cult rise to power.

He was extremely skilled at leading the Blood Soul Cult into hiding.

In previous states, they had been besieged by the Night's Watch many times, but nothing ever happened to them.

How could it be so sudden, that they were all wiped out by the Night Watch in Zhenshi County?

"What's going on?" the elder of the Mitian Sect asked.

"I don't know. The Blood Soul Cult's branches and headquarters at the city level and above were inexplicably wiped out overnight. Other smaller branches were also swiftly eliminated in the following days. Basically, no one escaped. I don't know when the Night Watch began investigating them," the envoy replied.

"A bunch of useless trash!" the elder of the Mitian Sect roared. "They didn't even know when they were being watched. Did those corrupt officials in the Night Watch and the Surveillance Department that they bribed rebel and fail to provide them with intelligence immediately?"

"No, that's not the case," the envoy replied. "The officials in the Divine Dynasty's official institutions that they bribed have also been arrested."

"Is that so!" Upon hearing this, the elder of the Mitian Sect narrowed his eyes. There was a master among the Night Watchers.

They were able to wipe out all the Blood Soul Cult's strongholds not only within Zhenshi County.

They even uncovered the spies within the Divine Dynasty organization that the Blood Soul Cult had bribed.

"Go and investigate secretly. You must find out all the information about the destruction of the Blood Soul Sect in Zhenshi County. Find out who organized the destruction of the Blood Soul Sect, how the Blood Soul Sect was exposed, and everything else," the elder of the Mitian Sect ordered.

He needs to know the truth about the destruction of the Blood Soul Cult.

A second-rate cult with three members at the Core Formation stage, one of whom has reached the peak of the Core Formation stage, making him a half-step Grandmaster.

They died just like that, and there were still many fifth and sixth-rank masters.

Not a single person managed to escape.

This is no small matter.

If the Night Watch truly produced a highly skilled expert in hunting down cults.

We must eliminate them at all costs.

Otherwise, wouldn't all those second- and third-rate cults under their command be wiped out one by one by the Night Watch?

First it was the Black Heaven Cult, then it was the Blood Soul Cult.

The Night Watch of this Zhenshi County is truly somewhat eerie.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, the messenger went to fetch it.

Five days later.

The Central Continent Night Watch Headquarters then determined the rewards and merits of everyone involved in the annihilation of the Blood Soul Sect in Zhenshi County and sent the rewards to the Desolate Continent.

Gu Chen's official promotion process has also been completed and has been sent over.

After Gongsun Yuan had everyone else's rewards taken down and distributed, he...

He personally came to Jiuwan City in Yuehai County, carrying Gu Chen's reward, official seal, and new official robes.

He handed it over to Gu Chen.

Seeing that the reward for Zhenshi County's destruction of the Blood Soul Cult and the procedures for his own promotion were completed, his official seal and robes also arrived.

Gu Chen was very excited and thanked Gongsun Yuan, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for making a special trip to Yuehai County for my reward and official seal."

"It's alright," Gongsun Yuan said with a smile. "Junior Brother, quickly open it and see what the reward is this time."
