with too many snitches.

These people were unwilling to follow him to further their studies in the Formless Divine Sect, solely fixated on finding clues to the Rebellious God Flag and the Lie King’s Treasure in Xiushui County.

Furthermore, as old members had yet to leave, new ones had already arrived.

According to information from Wo Meiniang, both the Six Gates and the Police Pool of Blood had recently taken an increased interest in the Iron Banner Gang, with frequent internal personnel shifts.

Right when the Iron Banner Gang was expanding aggressively, recruiting a lot of new hands, it was unknown how many spies had infiltrated their ranks.

Chu Xisheng had to harden his heart and dispatch his so-called “brothers” as altar masters to various places, some even as masters of their own branches.

For example, Xiaang Kui was promoted to the altar master of the Iron Forest Altar, in charge of Tielin Town.

There was a medium-sized iron mine there, surrounded by ten thousand mu of fertile land, enough to support over one hundred and twenty gang members, with thousands of miners for additional support.

Xiaang Kui himself seemed a bit unhappy, feeling that he was now far from West Mountain Hall and Xiushui County, which made it inconvenient for him to continue the in-depth investigation into the whereabouts of the Rebellious God Flag.

However, Chu Xisheng had reassigned him under the guise of a “promotion”, leaving Xiaang Kui with no grounds for complaint.

He left West Mountain carrying Chu Xisheng’s deep trust and took up the position of altar master in Tielin Town.

Chu Xisheng, worried that Li Shenshan and Wei Yang would not be vigilant enough, specially crafted two “Ye Zhiqiu Template Cards (half-price version)” for their use.

The half-price template card of Ye Zhiqiu sold for as high as 16 Blood Essence Points, second only to Lu Luanti.

In fact, Chu Xisheng somewhat looked down upon the Ye Zhiqiu Template Card.

His fellow senior sister clearly belonged to the category who would achieve greatness later in life.

At least for the moment, aside from her Super-grade combat power, Ye Zhiqiu had not shown many other extraordinary aspects in Martial Arts.

Wouldn’t the Qin Muge Template Card and the Lu Luanti Template Card be more appealing?

Yet recently, his luck had been terribly bad, one might even say the System had grown limp and uncooperative, as Chu Xisheng had failed to draw the template cards of the other two.

However, Ye Zhiqiu’s Template Card turned out to be much stronger than he had imagined.

After some tests, Chu Xisheng found that the combat power of both Wei Yang and Li Shenshan had been enhanced by 40 to 50 percent, indeed reaching the Peak Level of the Sixth Grade.

Chu Xisheng, facing them two against one, actually needed sixty rounds to defeat them.

After that, still unsatisfied, he gave them two “Pure Yang (Third-tier) Talent Cards” to make up for the loss of potential due to their premature promotion to the Sixth Grade.

It was estimated that within half a year, their cultivation would increase again, and their combat power might match that of Long Heng, making them greatly useful by then.

Then there was the issue of the Headquarters of the Iron Banner Gang,

In the past, the strength and talent of Tie Xiaosheng were sufficient to support the threshold of the Iron Banner Gang, especially with the help of Eight-Armed Vajra Sword Step Smoke City; there was not much of an issue.

However, now that the Iron Banner Gang’s influence spanned two counties, it had become a first-class force within East State.

If there wasn’t a master capable of rivaling Iron Madman, it still felt somewhat lacking.

And with this trip to the Formless Divine Mountain, taking away almost all the “mysterious experts”, the Iron Banner Gang’s combat strength was destined to greatly diminish.

Just in time, Chu Xisheng managed to draw an “Iron Madman Template Enhancement Card (Second Rank)”

The exchange cost was a staggering three times that of the first tier, requiring 90 Blood Essence Points.

Chu Xisheng gritted his teeth, pulled out the Enhancement Card, and used it on Tie Xiaosheng.

His reserve of Blood Essence Points had now reached ‘4121’.

Ever since West Mountain Hall raised its flag and Iron Banner Gang achieved consecutive victories, Chu Xisheng’s daily income of Blood Essence Points had been enormous.

The court’s Black List wanted notices and the supplementary issues of Debating Martial Arts Tower only increased his momentum.

It was only in these past two days that Chu Xisheng’s daily income of Blood Essence Points gradually fell to around thirty a day.

This substantial amount of Blood Essence Points, with nowhere to spend, could only lie dormant on the character panel, unable to be used.

Chu Xisheng believed that Blood Essence Points that couldn’t be spent were as good as dead, providing no benefit.

If these Blood Essence Points couldn’t be used on himself, why not allocate a portion to improve his subordinates?

It would strengthen his power just the same.

Therefore, since the rebellion in Xiushui County had been quelled, Chu Xisheng, upon obtaining any Template Cards, would use them on his subordinates.

Unfortunately, the System hadn’t been very cooperative recently, with no sign of the Character Cards for Qin Muge and Lu Luanti, whereas those such as ‘Tie Xiaosheng Template Card’, ‘Bu Yancheng Template Card’, ‘Wei Yang Template Card’, ‘Li Shenshan Template Card’ kept popping up.

Chu Xisheng wasn’t picky; he would purchase these Template Cards as soon as they appeared.

The talent templates of these individuals were insignificant in the eyes of someone on Lu Luanti and Chu Yunyun’s level.

Yet among commoners, they were outstanding, capable of propelling an average Martial Cultivator into the Fifth or even Fourth Grade.

Key to their appeal were their low prices, with the ‘Tie Xiaosheng Template Card’ costing only nine Blood Essence Points, just over half of what Iron Madman’s cost.

The Bu Yancheng Template Card was the most expensive among these third-tier templates, reaching up to thirteen Blood Essence Points and coming second only to Iron Madman.

Chu Xisheng was quite surprised.

He discovered that whether his Martial Arts Treasure Vault could produce corresponding Template Cards and Character Cards was entirely related to his intimacy with those individuals.

Only those who had a relatively close relationship with him had their Template Cards appear in the Martial Arts Treasure Vault.

The problem was that he had known Bu Yancheng for just over a month.

Although Chu Xisheng’s perception of this person was favorable, their relationship at present was merely one of Silver Coin acquaintance.

After careful consideration, he used a ‘Divine Sorrow (Third-Tier) Talent Card’ on this individual.

Chu Xisheng mused that this guy might just be a sycophant, but whether he was worth further investment, Chu Xisheng would need to observe for a while longer.

Subsequently, he discovered that Bu Yancheng began working even harder, relentlessly pursuing remnants of the Seventeen Linked Wharves in Xunyang, exhibiting bravery at the forefront during battles, displaying no fear of death.

Until the day before his departure, Chu Xisheng had exchanged three Bu Yancheng Template Cards, six Tie Xiaosheng Template Cards, nineteen Wei Yang and twenty-two Li Shenshan Template Cards from his Martial Arts Treasure Vault, spending only just over two hundred Blood Essence Points in total.

Chu Xisheng had to devote a great deal of effort at West Mountain Hall, Iron Banner Hall, and Xuanfeng Hall, carefully selecting several dozen young, loyal, hardworking, and daring individuals under the age of twenty.

Chu Xisheng scattered these Template Cards among them and immediately felt somewhat relieved.

At this moment, with Tie Xiaosheng and Bu Yancheng bolstering its ranks above, and a core foundation of many potential masters led by Li Shenshan below, Iron Banner Gang was well positioned to ensure its dominance in both Xunyang and Xiushui counties.

As long as Iron Banner Gang and West Mountain Hall remained stable, they could continuously supply him and Chu Yunyun with a great deal of Silver Coin.

Once these individuals grew up, the future image of Iron Banner Gang was sure to cause a big surprise,

And just as Chu Xisheng secured the various affairs of the gang, he received two batches of Seventh Rank top-secret medicine main materials sent by Jian Cangfeng.
