Just like that, escorted by the City Lord’s Mansion guards, Yang Chen’s party safely left the city.
Watching Yang Chen and his party leave, He Liancheng stood motionless. Before long, Jin Cheng, the Golden Eagle Young Master, appeared as if from nowhere, looking in the direction Yang Chen and his party left: “Someone’s following them, right?”
“Young Master, everything is arranged properly. There is no chance for Huang Chiyang to take advantage. But does it really have to go this far? Yang Chen is still just a young man. It might be too hasty to let him go before your condition shows any improvement,” He Liancheng expressed his concerns.
Jin Cheng spoke kindly, “Uncle Liancheng, if everything always went according to plan, it wouldn’t be so easy to win people over.”
“Young Master, do you want to win over this country bumpkin?” He Liancheng couldn’t quite believe it.
He only thought that He Liancheng was trying to save his own life through Yang Chen’s skills.
Jin Cheng continued, “This chronic illness of mine has been treated by Dan
Medical experts before. But wha’t the result? I think Uncle Liancheng should Imow that. As for Yang Chen, he immediately guaranteed to heal me as soon as he appeared. This confidence alone is incomparable to those Dan Medical experts. Moreover, don’t call Yang Chen a country bumpkin.”
Worried, He Liancheng asked, “What if that kid is lying to you, Young Master?”
Jin Cheng replied, “If he can deceive me, it’s also his skill. Yang Chen is not a fool. He should know that even if he interfered with us in the Great Wilderness, it still wouldn’t help him, right? So, what’s wrong with winning over a Dan Medical expert?” Jin Cheng muttered, “Of course, I’m trying to win him over not only because he’s a Dan Medical expert.”
He Liancheng was puzzled, “What other plans do you have, Young Master?”
“Yang Chen is extraordinary in appearance and manner. His words always give me a mysterious feeling. Throughout my life, I’ve met a lot of people along with my father, but none of the younger generation have ever remained inscrutable to me. This kid, at just fourteen or fifteen years old, has reached this level…”
Jin Cheng took a deep breath, “He’s worth winning over!”
“But what if Huang Chiyang tries something on their way back…” He Liancheng continued to worry.
Jin Cheng replied with a faint smile, “Transporting the Gravity Pills is their responsibility. If Yang Chen can’t handle even that, then my high opinion of him is unwarranted. Don’t worry, Yang Chen may not be able to deal with Huang Chiyang, but it’s not easy for Huang Chiyang to deal with him either. At least, he didn’t suffer at Huang Chiyang’s hands, did he?”
At that, He Liancheng suddenly realized the truth.
Exactly, Huang Chiyang is a cunning person, and yet when Yang Chen first arrived in Liaocheng, he didn’t suffer at Huang Chiyang’s hands. That was quite an accomplishment in itself.
Although Yang Chen had relied on the relationship with Jin Cheng to some extent afterward, wasn’t it also thanks to Yang Chen’s own abilities that Jin Cheng stepped in?
This young man…
Fearing retaliation, Yang Jinhe chose to take a detour back to the Great Wilderness. The journey went smoothly, with no major incidents.
This trip to the Great Wilderness may have been full of surprises, but everything worked out well in the end. Elder Yang and Yang Jinhe were delighted with the outcome. When they returned to the clan, they immediately ordered the Yang family’s Alchemist to mass-produce Gravity Pills so they could start their first collaboration with Golden Eagle Young Master.
Friendship is not built on feelings alone; it also needs common interests to maintain it.
These matters were naturally not Yang Chen’s concern. As soon as he returned to the Yang family, he announced that he would close himself off for ten days!
These ten days of seclusion were not meaningless for Yang Chen.
This time, his intention was nothing more than to break through to the Spirit Martial Realm!
Yes, Yang Chen had already reached the peak of the Body Refining Realm, and breaking through to the Spirit Martial Realm was just a matter of time. He lacked that moment when everything would fall into place. These breakthroughs heavily depend on this moment. If you don’t understand the situation and rush to break through, you will likely fail miserably.
So initially, Yang Chen wasn’t in a hurry to attempt a breakthrough. It was only after returning to the Yang family from the ancient Great Wilderness that he finally felt the time was right.
The lack of strength and passivity he experienced after arriving in Liaocheng ignited Yang Chen’s desire to become stronger. He knew that within the Great Wilderness, he could be considered an expert without entering the Spirit Martial Realm, but outside the Great Wilderness, he would find it difficult to make any progress unless he reached the Spirit Martial Realm.
And that was his goal – the Spirit Martial Realm!
With this thought, Yang Chen immediately closed himself off.
With a massive stock of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Yang Chen refined several elixirs that were beneficial to his breakthrough attempt into the Spirit Martial Realm. He secluded himself for a full ten days in conjunction with these elixirs.
The ten days passed in an instant. When it was time for Yang Chen to come out of seclusion, a crowd formed outside his courtyard.
Leading the group were Yang Jinhe and Elder Yang.
There were also some young men from the Yang family, and high-level members of the family were all very interested in the results of Yang Chen’s seclusion. After all, everyone was curious about Yang Chen’s current level of Martial Arts Cultivation.
Elder Yang asked, “Clan Leader, what’s Yang Chen’s level of Martial Arts strength now?”
“As the Clan Leader, I don’t know either. But I think Yang Chen’s seclusion this time might be to reach the peak of the Body Refining Realm,” said Yang Jinhe. “Is it that fast?” some high-ranking clan members asked in surprise.
Yang Jin He replied with a smile, “It’s hard to say. While I may be overestimating this kid, hasn’t Yang Chen always surprised us? If we try to think highly of him, perhaps the result will be as we expected. If we follow normal thinking, we may not be able to guess what this kid is thinking.”
Another person chimed in, “Indeed, last time Yang Chen demonstrated an astonishing level of Martial Arts Cultivation. This time, he can only have gotten stronger.”
“It’s just the current situation of our Yang family, with Elder Yang Si…”
Yang Jin He waved his hand, “If Yang Chen has truly reached the peak of the Body Refining Realm, then it’s necessary to tell him as well. After all, he’s a pillar of our family.”
“I wonder how Yang Chen’s seclusion went this time.”
As everyone outside discussed fervently, Yang Chen continued to cultivate in seclusion.
Anyone observing closely would notice an invisible gas surrounding Yang Chen at this moment. This gas circled around Yang Chen’s body — wasn’t Protective True Qi the trademark of a Spirit Martial Realm expert? This True Qi wavered inconsistently, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, still not stable.
At that moment, Yang Chen suddenly opened his eyes. Immediately, the surrounding True Qi seemed to stabilize under his control. Yang Chen smiled, “Spirit Martial Realm, success!”
