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

Return to the Night Watch of Luo'an County.

Gu Chen took out a copper bowl and directly transmitted information to it: "I want to exchange for Tiger Mountain Lord's realm and strength, as well as the number and specific strength of the demons it brought with it when it left the Ten Thousand Mountains."

The copper bowl indicated that exchanging this information would require one thousand taels of silver.

Gu Chen directly put one thousand taels of silver into the copper bowl.

The silver disappeared, and the copper bowl gave feedback:

[Tiger Mountain Lord, the fourth son of Tiger Seventh Master, is at the late True Essence Realm. This time, he left the Ten Thousand Mountains to avenge his eldest son, Giant Tiger King, bringing with him seven tiger demons: one at the early True Essence Realm, his wife, two at the fifth level of the Innate Realm, his second and third sons, four at the fourth level of the Innate Realm, and his fourth through seventh sons.]

Looking at the information provided by the copper bowl.

Great, the whole family has come.

Two demons at the True Essence Realm, and six demons at the fourth to fifth level of the Innate Realm.

Next, I'll make sure your whole family dies a neat and orderly death.

The next day.

Gu Chen borrowed three thousand taels of silver from Cheng Mengling.

They went to Zhenshi County.

With his current cultivation level at the early stage of the True Essence Realm, the amount of True Essence stored in his body is enough for him to use the Flying Serpent Step and fly all the way to the city of Zhenshi County.

He arrived in the county town in less than half a day.

He then went directly to the headquarters of the Zhenshi County Night Watch and sought out Tie Yangtian.

"Sixth Senior Brother, I'm in trouble in Luo'an County." Gu Chen went straight to the point: "Do you remember what I told you a while ago about killing the Giant Tiger King, the grandson of Tiger Seventh Master, when I was clearing out the demons in Luo'an County?"

"I remember." Tie Yangtian nodded and said, "What, has that Tiger Seventh Master come out to seek revenge on you?"

Gu Chen had only been back in Luo'an County for a few days, yet he rushed over so hastily; he must have encountered trouble and come to him for help.

"No," Gu Chen said. "Seventh Master Tiger didn't come out, but his fourth son, Lord Tiger Mountain, a tiger demon in the late True Essence Realm, did."

"Yesterday, this Tiger Mountain Lord slaughtered a village in my Luo'an County, killing hundreds of villagers, and threatened that if I did not go to Luanshipo to apologize to him, he would slaughter all the villages in my Luo'an County that border the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"Hmph." Tie Yangtian snorted coldly: "A mere demon in the late True Yuan Realm, how arrogant."

"Don't panic, your senior brother will take care of this for you." Tie Yangtian said, "It dared to directly destroy a village on the border of my Divine Dynasty and even dared to threaten you to go and apologize. It's doomed."

"Mm." Gu Chen nodded and thanked Tie Yangtian, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

"But senior brother, if we kill Tiger Mountain Lord, will Tiger Seventh Master behind him directly take action? If a beast tide is stirred up in Luo'an County, even if we eventually destroy it, the people who died in Luo'an County will not be able to come back to life," Gu Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Tie Yangtian pondered in silence for a moment before saying, "What you said makes sense."

"We will make preparations in advance. I have Tang Meng order the mobilization of the Divine Guards stationed in Zhenshi County, and also draw some experts from the Night Watch. If that Tiger Seventh Master dares to launch a beast tide, we will wipe it out as well!" Tie Yangtian said.

He has now been promoted to deputy director of the Zhenshi County Night Watch, thanks to his relationship with Shangguan Wuqing.

Deploying the Divine Guard troops stationed in Zhenshi County to prevent the beast tide should not be a problem.

Tang Meng wanted to reconcile with Gu Chen and get closer to him because his son Tang Hong had offended him.

They'll give him face.

Although Tiger Seven is a fifth-rank demon with considerable strength, with him as a fifth-rank expert and the Divine Guard being transferred there, the two deputy generals and that general of the Divine Guard will definitely go with him.

Exterminating demons is a major and important matter.

Moreover, those demons broke the rules first, directly slaughtering a village on the border of the Divine Dynasty.

They had a legitimate reason to go there.

The Divine Guard, the Night Watch, and the Prefect were three equal-ranking institutions within a prefecture of the Divine Dynasty.

In addition, there are the Surveillance Bureau and the Divine Garment Bureau, which are the eyes and swords of the God Emperor.

The general of the Divine Guard Army was a fifth-rank official in the Divine Dynasty, whose position was equivalent to that of a prefect and the head of the Night Watch.

His strength is at the fourth-grade Core Formation level.

He's at the same level as the head of the Night Watch, and if he can bring over the head of the Zhenshi County Night Watch then...

There were two fourth-rank officials, plus two fifth-rank deputy generals of the Divine Guard Army, and him, a fifth-rank deputy director of the Night Watch Division.

In addition to other skilled members of the Night Watch.

Dealing with Tiger Seven's demonic forces is no problem.

"That would be perfect." Gu Chen nodded.

If Tie Yangtian could send the Divine Dynasty Guards stationed in Zhenshi County over...

Even if he killed Tiger Mountain Lord's entire family, he wouldn't be afraid of Tiger Seventh Master's revenge.

"Go back and wait for news. It will take time to mobilize the Divine Guard Army. It will take about two days to mobilize an entire army of the Divine Guard Army to the border of Luo'an County," Tie Yangtian said.

"Alright, then Junior Brother will go back and wait for Senior Brother's news." Gu Chen nodded.

Saying goodbye to Tie Yangtian.

After leaving the Night Watch, Gu Chen found a deserted, secluded alley in Zhenshi County.

He took out the copper bowl, put on the human skin mask and a new outfit.

They changed their appearance and left the alley.

Gu Chen arrived at Xuantian Pavilion in Zhenshi County.

I'm preparing to buy the elixir.

During this period, he earned 2,400 taels of silver from alchemy, and he was still 2,000 taels short of being able to buy 54 Condensation Pills.

Afterwards, he spent another thousand taels to exchange for information about Tiger Mountain Lord from the copper bowl, resulting in a difference of three thousand taels.

Today, when he came to Shijun Town, he borrowed three thousand taels from Cheng Mengling to make up the shortfall.

Now, I'll just buy back enough pills to break through to the mid-stage of the True Essence Realm.

Having broken through to the mid-stage of the True Essence Realm, coupled with the Azure Dragon Phenomenon and the perfected Demon-Suppressing Blade Technique and Flying Serpent Step, he was confident that he could directly kill Tiger Mountain Lord and his tiger demon family, even if they were of a higher level.

When the time comes, he will make the first move and deal with Tiger Mountain Lord's family.

If Tiger Seventh Master were to become enraged and attempt to unleash a beast tide to avenge Tiger Mountain Lord's family, the Zhenshi County Divine Guard Army and the Night Watchmen who arrive later would be able to withstand it.

Inside the Xuantian Pavilion.

After much persuasion, Gu Chen spent 26,200 taels of silver to buy 54 Condensation Pills at a 3% discount.

It's 0.1% cheaper than last time.

Carrying the pills, Gu Chen left Zhenshi County.

They found a secluded spot in the wild.

Gu Chen took out a copper bowl and put fifty-four Qi Condensation Pills into it, preparing to break through to the next level.

Fifty-four Grade One Qi Condensation Pills can be exchanged for 540 days of pure cultivation.

The copper bowl provides a clue.

Gu Chen chose to exchange.

Instantly, a vast amount of cultivation power was poured into his body.

Gu Chen immediately activated the Azure Dragon Meridian Opening Technique, and an azure dragon phenomenon appeared behind him.

Transform it into true essence to expand his meridians, allowing the small meridian channels that had previously appeared to gradually enlarge.

At the same time, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) was drawn by his Azure Dragon phenomenon, and along with his cultivation, it was refined by the Azure Dragon phenomenon into a light blue liquid true essence, which was stored in his slowly expanding meridians and gathered towards his dantian qi sea, further solidifying the initial true essence qi vortex that had formed in his qi sea.

At the center of the cyclone, drops of liquid true essence appeared and began to rotate with the cyclone.

After the cultivation transfer ended, the amount of true essence stored in Gu Chen's body surged.

The quantity is several times that of before.

Mid-stage True Essence Realm, reached!

A powerful aura emanated from Gu Chen.

All aspects of its attributes have been comprehensively improved.

As his true essence surged, it also triggered a transformation in his physical body.

Gu Chen got up and headed towards Luo'an County.

He was no longer ready to wait.

When we return to Luo'an County, we will take action against Tiger Mountain Lord's family.

We won't let them live another day.

Gu Chen used his true energy to perform the Flying Serpent Step and travel through the air.

Two hours later, they returned to Luo'an County.

Then they headed straight for the rocky slope.

at this time.

Rocky slope.

The eight-headed tiger demon is waiting for Gu Chen to come to his door.

It was the Tiger Mountain Lord's family.

Yesterday they massacred a village in Luo'an County.

He left a message, asking Gu Chen to come to Luanshipo to atone for his sins with his death.

If they don't come, they will continue to slaughter other villages within the territory of Luo'an County.

Let's see if Gu Chen comes or not.

Isn't Gu Chen the one who feels the most sorry for the people of Luo'an County?

Upon taking office, he swiftly and decisively eliminated all demonic forces within the territory of Luo'an County!

They even killed their most beloved eldest son.

The Giant Tiger King is the eldest son of Tiger Mountain Lord and his wife, who is the most talented. He has the bloodline of a different kind of white tiger. He is still a young demon, but his cultivation has already broken through to the fifth level of the Innate Realm.

When the giant tiger king left its parents, it said that it could not live its whole life as a tiger protected by its tiger parents.

It wants to go out and explore, to see the world, and to meet human cultivators on the border of the divine dynasty.

Seeking an opportunity to break through to the True Essence Realm.

Who knew that it would die at Gu Chen's hands less than a year after it came to the border of Luo'an County.

Their most outstanding son is dead, so Gu Chen can forget about living either.

If Gu Chen doesn't come to apologize to them every day, and keeps hiding, they will slaughter a village in Luo'an County every day.

They continued slaughtering until Gu Chen dared to show himself and fight them.

At this time.

Gu Chen has arrived at the border of Luo'an County, outside the village where the Tiger Mountain Lord's family slaughtered the day before.

We arrived at the graves of Daya and her grandmother.

He picked a wildflower by the roadside and placed it in front of their graves.

"Big Sister, watch closely, your big brother is here to avenge you," Gu Chen said.

He then gripped the Fire Xuan Blade and headed towards the rocky slope.

On the way to the rocky slope.

As Gu Chen walked, he circulated his cultivation technique to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body and refine it into true essence, restoring the true essence he had consumed during his journey.

He fully comprehended the Azure Dragon Opening Chapter through the copper bowl, allowing it to cultivate into a perfect Azure Dragon phenomenon.

The Azure Dragon phenomenon allows him to multitask, even while walking, he can slowly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body to refine and restore his true essence.

However, this state only works for restoring the body's true essence, and its effect on improving one's realm is very limited. After all, improving one's realm requires widening the meridians, compressing and liquefying the true essence, and strengthening the true essence vortex in the dantian.

The required amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth is enormous, making this kind of refining process very difficult to improve.

He wasn't walking fast.

He walked step by step toward the rocky slope. By the time he reached the rocky slope, he should be able to restore all the true energy in his body and bring his combat power to its peak.

On the rocky slope.

The tiger demon, who was at the early stage of the True Essence Realm, was getting impatient and said, "Husband, will Gu Chen not come today? It's already afternoon. Yesterday, the night watchmen of Luo'an County received news that we had slaughtered that village. He should know the message we left for him."

"If he doesn't come today, we'll slaughter another village, one a day. Let's see how long he can hide." The lady of Tiger Mountain Residence's eyes gleamed coldly.

"Wait a little longer," said Tiger Mountain Lord. "I have a feeling he will come today."

Yesterday, they massacred a village within Luo'an County, thus achieving their goal of provoking and threatening Gu Chen.

The words left behind were also intended to coerce Gu Chen into obediently coming and submitting.

It is inappropriate to continue slaughtering villages within the territory of the Divine Dynasty.

The Divine Dynasty was not weak; even with powerful enemies surrounding it, it could still stand firmly like a pillar stabilizing the sea.

If it goes too far, Gu Chen might not be forced to come out.

Outside of Luo'an County, the Night Watch masters within Zhenshi County will be drawn to it.

Not worth the candle.

Continuously slaughtering villages of the Divine Dynasty will cross the Divine Dynasty's bottom line.

Even if he is Tiger Seven's son, it won't work.

If it attracts experts of the fifth rank or above from Zhenshi County, then it will be troublesome, and even its father, Tiger Master Qi, may not be able to protect it.
