Purple Mist Dao Master

Chapter 701 - 431: Inspection! [New January, asking for monthly tickets!]

"Nearly fifty peak martial artists from both families, while listening to Yan God General’s martial arts lecture, all made significant progress in just ten days, whether in combat power or cultivation. From the spies we’ve deployed between the two armies that have been clearly accounted for, thirteen peak level experts have had breakthroughs, at least one step forward. In total, forty-one peak martial artists were overjoyed, why do you think they are so happy, even excited?" Zao Shanghao looked at Zao Wan."They all made progress?" Zao Wan was astonished.

Nearly fifty peak martial artists from the Baili and She families listened to Yan Chuan’s martial arts lecture, of which forty-one gained benefits, so much so that they were ’radiant with joy’!

Zao Wan was a bit fierce, but she wasn’t stupid, she clearly understood the implication.

No wonder!

No wonder her father would go so far as to mobilize all the Zao family’s resources to invite Yan Chuan to give a martial arts lecture within the ’Hurricane Guard’ —

"If other families’ peak martial artists improve and ours don’t, how could we possibly win?"

"And it’s not just the peak martial artists, more than forty thousand soldiers of the Baili Guard and the She Family Army, from top to bottom, over eighty percent have made progress after listening to the lecture, and within ten days, no fewer than a hundred have broken through limits."

"The soldiers of these two families have gained considerable benefits from Yan God General’s martial arts lecture. The soldiers see each other all the time, those who heard the lecture saw a great increase in strength, while our family didn’t, wouldn’t they feel discontent? For those common soldiers, it doesn’t matter whose army they serve in, does it?"

Zao Shanghao understood very well the great significance of inviting Yan Chuan for the martial arts lecture.

Another thing—

"I am at the peak state."

"This time, if I have a chance to listen to the lecture, I might be the second Black Butcher!"

Zao Shanghao had long awaited Yan Chuan.

After stabilizing the unreliable element that was Zao Wan, Zao Shanghao quickly walked up to catch up with his father and Yan Chuan, watching the two enter the material warehouse that had long been prepared by the Zao family.

Whether the martial arts lecture will be given will soon be revealed.

...

"Brother Zao is considerate."

In the Zao family warehouse, as soon as Yan Chuan entered the door, he saw the most prominent ’Illusion Stone’ placed there, and he smiled immediately. Clearly, She family’s intelligence confidentiality work was not up to the mark, or perhaps Zao family’s intelligence infiltration was very well done, allowing them to know exactly what materials Yan Chuan acquired from the She family.

Yan Chuan praised Zao Ci’s thoughtfulness, this was the first point.

As for the second point, Zao Ci did not hide the Illusion Stone despite its rarity, nor did he neglect the collection and preparation of various materials after obtaining the Illusion Stone, this indeed showed thoughtfulness.

"With this ’Illusion Stone’, I can justify myself to the She family during my Hurricane Guard martial arts lecture." Yan Chuan picked up the ’Illusion Stone’ and smilingly said to Zao Ci: "Yan can’t decline this!"

"Haha!"

"Brother Yan is not treating me as an outsider, that makes me happy!"

Zao Ci laughed heartily, thinking to himself that the martial arts lecture was finally stabilized.

But he wasn’t in a hurry, he smiled at Yan Chuan and said: "The materials in this warehouse are gathered meticulously by my entire Zao family from top to bottom, Brother Yan although got hold of the Illusion Stone, might as well take a look and see if there are other materials useful to you? Whatever you can use, just take it!"

"Then I won’t hold back."

Yan Chuan had exactly that intention.

"In the Treasure Rock, six Miracle Items —"

[Fifth Rank White Horn Trumpet (Level 41).]

[Fifth Rank Three-head Six-arm (Level 43).]

[Fake Fifth Rank Star Stone (Level 41).]

[Fake Fifth Rank Treasure Basin (Level 41).]

[Fake Fifth Rank Jiazi Tai Sui (Level 41).]

[Fourth Rank Heavenly Vault Sunset Bow (Level 40).]

Among them, the ’Heavenly Vault Sunset Bow’ was acquired by Yan Chuan from Shen Gongtu, replacing the original ’Fake Third Rank Vajra Bead.’

In fact, the current setup of six Miracle Items in Yan Chuan’s hand is not considered perfect —

’Treasure Bowl’ does not count.

Others, ’White Horn Trumpet’, ’Three-head Six-arm’, ’Jiazi Tai Sui’, and ’Heavenly Vault Sunset Bow’ are all offensive types, but Yan Chuan’s swordsmanship is potent, he still lacks a sword to truly unleash the full potential of the "Dugu Nine Swords."

As for defensive type Miracle Items, before the battle at Moth Island, Yan Chuan was a bit anxious and kept searching.

But after obtaining hundreds of ’Fire Bud Crystals’, and monopolizing 211 of them, defensive Miracle Items became insignificant, at least he didn’t fancy Fourth or Fifth Rank ones —

"Fourth Rank Exotic Treasure corresponds to Innate First Rank."

"Fifth Rank Exotic Treasure corresponds to Innate Second Rank, Innate Third Rank."

"With ’Fire Bud Crystals’, once completely refined, my physique will not just match a Sixth Rank God, but a solid ’Sixth Rank Physique’, capable of resisting attacks from Sixth Rank Gods!"

Sixth Rank Physique!

Far surpassing Fifth Rank Exotic Treasures!

Completely not in the same league.

Defensive exotic treasure becomes redundant.

Not only defensive exotic treasures, but also ’Jiazi Tai Sui’ —

"Once my physique reaches the strength of Second Rank Third Rank, the ’Fake Fifth Rank Jiazi Tai Sui’ will lose its value, it may even hinder my outburst and weaken my various Absolute Skills."

Jiazi Tai Sui!

It can be anticipated that if corresponding materials to normally enhance and upgrade cannot be found quickly, it will soon be deserted by Yan Chuan. Even right now, the moment Yan Chuan acquired Fu Manduo’s ’Wuzhiqi’, ’Jiazi Tai Sui’ already stood on the verge of elimination.

"Three-head Six-arm."

"Jiazi Tai Sui."

"Wuzhiqi."

Yan Chuan faintly felt that the materials needed for enhancement and upgrade of this kind of Mythical Weapon might be higher-grade or in greater quantity, absolutely not easy, forcibly enhancing isn’t cost-effective.

"Can be used temporarily."

"But the ones truly able to accompany me, are still the ’White Horn Trumpet’, the ’Star Stone’, and the ’Treasure Bowl’!"

Yan Chuan organized his Miracle Items, with anticipation searching meticulously among the thousands of materials gathered by the Zao family.

With hope.

Suddenly.

Yan Chuan’s eyes lit up, he indeed found another piece of material—

...

[Miracle Item·Treasure Basin (Level 41): Azure Dragon undulating, White Tiger crouching, Xuanwu bowing its head, Vermilion Bird soaring, the Treasure Basin, capable of gathering treasures. Storing ten thousand taels of Essence Stone, can produce an additional hundred taels of Essence Stone daily. (Traits: Size, Gathering Essence, Spray, Mustard Space.)]
