When Chu Ming boarded the ship, he also had a mountain of luggage and brought his family along.

This future “Blood Vengeance Saint,” although he had yet to receive the title of saint, was accompanied by people who were all arranged as befits a saint.

There were four men and women in total, all around twenty years old and Seventh Rank upper-class martial cultivators.

With Chu Xisheng’s “Supreme Divine Communication,” his divine thought was sensitive enough to discern that these four possessed the air of Heavenly Prides.

In some minor sects or schools, they would be enough to be the backbone of the institution.

Yet, these four were willing to follow Chu Ming as “Daoist aides” by their own volition.

Besides them, there was also an old man in a green robe following beside Chu Ming.

This man, in his seventies, had white hair and beard, a wizened look, pale and wrinkled skin so grotesque it resembled a ghost, yet his triangular eyes shone with a bright spirit.

He leaned on a dragon-head cane, and when he walked, his step was faltering; his old age showed with every shaky step, and he often emitted a soft cough, just like an old man burdened with serious illness.

After taking a distant look at this man, Chu Yunyun’s expression turned more solemn.

She was certain that this elder was a Third Grade expert, and his strength might even rank him amongst those on the Earthly List.

While the cultivation of experts on the Earthly List ranged between the Second and Third Grade, not every Third Grade cultivator could make it onto this esteemed List.

With Chu Yunyun’s skill, she couldn’t see through this man.

She could only vaguely discern that the elder had used some secret technique to retract all his Qi, preventing even the slightest trace of it from leaking out.

This was also a common life-extending secret technique used by experts whose life expectancy was about to run out, to conserve their breath.

Fortunately, Chu Xisheng did not recognize this person, and the man seemed to have never met him before either.

Even without relying on the principle of “White Horse is Not a Horse,” Chu Xisheng was not worried about this man piercing through his identity.

The San Ping Hermit arranged these several people on the second level of the Treasure Ship as well, in a few suites and single rooms located at the stern, also providing them with excellent treatment.

Chu Ming’s suite was even opposite to Chu Xisheng’s suite, separated only by a long corridor.

However, after having met the future “Blood Vengeance Saint” from the West Capital Chu Family, Chu Xisheng once again invested all his attention back into his cultivation.

That’s because he had made progress in his martial arts.

The benefits of being an Eighth Rank “Supreme Divine Communication” began to show; just the other day, Chu Xisheng had an epiphany during a dream, conceiving some cultivation secrets of the Divine Wind Bright Mirror Blade.

He hoped that within two days, he could elevate the “Divine Wind Bright Mirror Blade” to the Ninth Level.

So for two straight days, he stayed shut away, with all his meals brought to him by Zhou Liangchen and others.

And, on the very day that he finally cultivated the “Divine Wind Bright Mirror Blade” to the Ninth Level, Chu Xisheng also obtained two items that he had long awaited, along with another item that caused him extreme joy but also pained him to the utmost.

The first of the two long-anticipated items was the Eighth Stage of Pure Yang—on the existing basis, it permanently enhances one’s strength by double, True Yuan by 50%, Primordial Spirit Power by 50%, and improves all aspects of physical fitness by 40%, while also generating high-level Pure Yang within the body, along with the powers of the wild storm and thunder, imbuing him with the forces of “Shaoyang” and “Yangming,” available for exchange at the cost of 150 Blood Essence Points.

Yangming—under the Great Sun and the Bright Moon, it enhances the power of all Yang System Techniques and the recovery speed of Primordial Qi (The extent of enhancement varies between 30% and 100% depending on the position of the Great Sun and the Bright Moon).

Shaoyang—slightly enhances the power of all Yang System Techniques, slightly quickens the recovery speed of Primordial Qi, and raises the qualifications of all Yang System Techniques (capable of enhancing the qualifications of cultivating Nourishing Essence Skill, Formless Skill, and Mixed Element Formless Skill to the upper class).

This “Pure Yang,” in comparison to Chu Xisheng’s other talents, may not seem so remarkable.

However, starting from the Fourth Stage of Pure Yang, it’s been an overall enhancement and strengthening of his physical fitness.

And this isn’t based on the standard of an ordinary person, but rather on his current physical fitness.

From the beginning of Chu Xisheng’s cultivation journey, every three stages of Pure Yang could be considered equivalent to a First Layer of Primordial Skill in terms of bodily enhancement.

As Chu Xisheng cultivated the “Nine Refinements of Extreme Essence Purple Gold Body,” the effect of Pure Yang on his body became even more noticeable.

To put it more directly, each stage of Pure Yang advancement brings him a 40% boost in strength.

This overall strengthening of his physical fitness has accumulated to a factor of 3.6 times—the number refers to his overall physical fitness.

The stronger his physical body becomes, the greater the improvements Pure Yang brings with each stage.

This is the foundation that allows Chu Xisheng, a Seventh Rank practitioner, to contend against those Sixth Rank Super Geniuses.

And since “Pure Yang” reached the Sixth Rank, awakening “Shaoyang,” Chu Xisheng’s cultivation speed of the Formless Skill has increased several times over.

Almost a day of his cultivation could equate to five days of effort in the past.

Beyond that, entering the Eighth Rank now, Chu Xisheng received a little surprise—slightly improving the power of all Yang System Techniques and the recovery speed of Primordial Qi.

This was something unheard of before and, based on Chu Xisheng’s understanding of the system, this “slight” increase is probably about twenty to thirty percent.

The second long-awaited item was the “Blood Revenge Blade Lord Template Card (half-price edition),” requiring 19 Blood Essence Points to exchange.

—Even the invincible Blood Revenge Blade Lord was, in terms of natural comprehension, actually a notch below Qin Mu Ge.

Chu Xisheng had been refreshing the Martial Arts Treasure Vault for a month in anticipation of this card.

The Blood Revenge Blade Lord Template Card had appeared in the vault twice before, and he hadn’t cherished it.

Of course, he didn’t have spare Blood Essence Points to exchange for Zhou Liangchen at the time.

Followed by the item that gave him boundless surprise and deep pain, it was a red crystal stone.
