Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Level 3 Divine Nest
The high-level eting of the Furious Whale Gang’s Linhai Sub-Branch lasted a long ti.
Zhang Yuan was a silent nobody throughout, just a translucent presence in the corner of the council hall.
It was only when the eting ended that Zhao Jinlan pulled him aside to inquire about the situation.
Zhang Yuan had no choice but to recount his experiences on the Deceitful Ship.
Of course, so crucial parts had to be concealed.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain.
After all, Zhang Yuan’s current cultivation level was only at the Tier Two Dark Force stage.
Zhao Jinlan didn’t probe deeply. After listening, she said, "Escaping a great calamity indeed brings good fortune. You were really lucky this ti. Be extrely cautious when encountering the Deceitful Ship again in the future."
Actually, Gao Sheng had been very cautious.
But the unpredictability of the Deceitful Ship was almost impossible to guard against!
Zhang Yuan nodded, "I understand."
Suddenly struck by a thought, he asked, "Hall Master, I have three major achievents now. Can I exchange them for a Qi Blood Pill?"
After consuming the Qi Blood Pill, Zhang Yuan’s Qi and Blood value on the Divine Nest panel had increased by over 180 points.
It was now fully replenished.
But the pill’s dicinal effect was still exerting a minor influence.
This kind of elixir was perfect for him!
However, Gao Sheng told him that redeeming the Qi Blood Pill not only required three major achievents, but also had to be done by soone at the Hall Master level.
Zhang Yuan had the three major achievents, but he was only a Little Incense Master.
"Qi Blood Pill?"
Zhao Jinlan thought for a mont and said, "This elixir is allocated by the headquarters—our Linhai Sub-Branch only gets a quota of ten per year. I’ll ask about it for you."
Zhang Yuan was overjoyed, "Thank you, Hall Master!"
Since Zhao Jinlan didn’t say it was impossible, there was hope for the exchange.
Zhang Yuan wasn’t greedy; having one for self-defense was enough!
"No need to thank
yet."
Zhao Jinlan waved her hand, "I’ll do my best, but I can’t guarantee if you’ll get it."
Pausing, she lowered her voice and said, "Go ho and rest well for a few days. Whatever happens, stay out of the Celestial Beings’ affairs. If you see them, make sure to avoid them!"
Zhang Yuan responded sternly, "Yes!"
Even the Supre Elder Liao Yong’an, Inner Hall Master Wan Pu, and other senior figures were extrely wary of the Celestial Beings.
How could he not understand the dangers involved!
Of course, it was best to keep a respectful distance.
After leaving Whale Castle and returning ho to Wu Manor, Zhang Yuan was restless, with his right eyelid twitching constantly.
He had a persistent feeling that sothing bad might happen.
He decided to call Xiang Xiu over and instructed her, "In the coming days, both you and my mother should stay at ho and not go out. If there’s a shortage of essentials, let
know, and I’ll handle it."
Though Xiang Xiu didn’t quite understand, the little maid responded obediently, "Yes, young master."
Zhang Yuan felt significantly relieved, "As for when you can go out, I’ll tell you when the ti cos."
It’s said that staying ho keeps you safe.
Although Zhang Yuan’s reaction might be a bit excessive,
better safe than sorry; cautiousness brings safety over ti.
The Celestial Beings likely wouldn’t stay long in this small place of Linhe County, possibly leaving any day now.
In any case, being cautious is definitely not wrong!
That night, Zhang Yuan didn’t sleep soundly.
Whenever he closed his eyes, images of the Deceitful Ship would surface in his mind.
It was like a nightmare!
It wasn’t until the brink of dawn that he subdued his heart demon and fell into a deep sleep.
Upon waking up in the morning, the first thing Zhang Yuan did was open the Divine Nest panel.
[Host: Zhang Yuan]
[Realm: Tier Two (Dark Force)]
[Divine Nest: Level 3 (1%)]
[Host: Level 3 Black Giant Ant (1%)/8x Strength]
[Host: Level 3 Jade Mantis (1%)/Advanced Saber Mastery]
[Host: Level 3 Golden Grasshopper (1%)/8x Agility]
[Host: Level 3 White Dragon Loach (1%)/Advanced Water Mastery]
[Qi Blood: 230/230]
[Source Material: 22.5]
The Divine Nest had upgraded!
Leveraging the Source Material acquired on the Deceitful Ship, he smoothly upgraded the Divine Nest to Level 3, adding a new chabr.
Moreover, Zhang Yuan noticed a significant enhancent in his perception ability.
His five senses, like vision, hearing, and sll, had seen a dramatic increase in sharpness, even his ntal awareness felt renewed, akin to upgrading a chanical hard drive to a solid-state drive.
Though the capacity hadn’t changed, the operating speed was completely different!
Actually, after activating the Divine Nest and completing its first upgrade, Zhang Yuan had noticed his perception ability strengthened.
But the increase wasn’t much.
Now, it could be described as a breakthrough!
Most importantly, this perception ability could be self-controlled.
He wouldn’t suffer from constant disturbances due to overly sharp hearing.
This filled Zhang Yuan’s heart with jubilation, sweeping away the negative emotions he had harbored.
As for the remaining Source Material, after careful consideration, he decided to save it for a new host.
Because the four main hosts had all been elevated to Level 3; progressing further would require a huge amount of Source Material, and a small amount wouldn’t make any difference.
But Zhang Yuan still had no clue where to find new hosts.
He would seize the opportunity when it arose!
In the following two days, Zhang Yuan stayed ho, focusing on strengthening his body and practicing the Rock Foundation Skill and Saber Technique.
Power, power is everything!
His goal was to break through to Tier Three Transformation Realm within a year.
That morning, while Zhang Yuan was practicing the Wave-Slaying Saber in the courtyard, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded outside.
Zhang Yuan’s expression changed dramatically.
Sothing had happened!
This was the Furious Whale Gang’s whistle; different rhythms had different anings, and every gang mber must be able to understand them.
The whistle that had just sounded was all long tones, each one was intensely gripping.
It signified an ergency call for help!
But how could such a whistle sound here at Wu Manor?
Could it be an enemy invasion, were the Fierce Tiger Gang and Four Great Families ready to completely tear faces with the Furious Whale Gang?
Zhang Yuan didn’t have ti to think further, imdiately grabbing his weapon.
With danger at Wu Manor, he, as a gang mber, had the responsibility to assist in the rescue, avoiding like a coward wasn’t an option.
But when stepping out, Zhang Yuan didn’t forget to instruct Xiang Xiu, who had just rushed out from the inner room, "Lock the doors tightly, take care of my mother, don’t run around!"
Having said this, he dashed out without looking back.
At this mont, Wu Manor was in chaos, with many people like Zhang Yuan rushing out of their hos.
All running towards the direction of the whistle sound.
Zhang Yuan executed his body technique, reaching the front door of a household at maximum speed.
Only to see a pale-faced patrol guard standing outside the door.
It was him endlessly blowing the whistle!
With a sweep of his gaze, Zhang Yuan imdiately saw a bloody corpse lying on the doorstep.
A strong sll of blood assaulted his senses.
"Master Cai, this is Master Cai’s ho!"
In the next mont, more Furious Whale disciples arrived, shocked and enraged by the sight!
Who on earth was so bold,
to dare co to Wu Manor in broad daylight and commit murder?
