Chapter 511: Chapter 514 Strengthening Ziyi Hall

Xia Yu smiled warmly and said slowly to the crowd, "Please do not be impatient, allow me to announce something to everyone, then we will proceed with the sale of Divine Talismans."

"Just say it quickly. I’ve been waiting so long I can’t take it anymore!" a voice shouted from the crowd.

Xia Yu raised her voice slightly, "Everyone, I am the Hall Master of Ziyi Hall under the Flying Dragon Gang, Xia Yu. This sale of Divine Talismans is not only the first time we have sold them publicly but also the last."

"What?"

A startled voice from the crowd asked loudly, "What do they mean by this?"

"Who knows!"

"Alas..."

A long sigh came from the crowd.

"If this is true, then buying these heaven-defying talismans in the future will be as hard as ascending to the heavens!"

"Damn it!"

Someone cursed angrily in the crowd, "What is Ziyi Hall up to? Why are they not making money even though they have Divine Stones... Do they not need money?"

The front of Ziyi Hall became noisy for a while.

Xia Yu smiled and waved at the dissatisfied crowd.

"Please calm down, everyone."

When the crowd had completely quieted down, Xia Yu smiled sweetly.

"Brother Yan said, after today’s batch of Divine Talismans is sold out, the Divine Talismans produced by Ziyi Hall will be given to everyone for free!"

"What!"

Someone shouted excitedly from the crowd, "Is Mr. Yan really saying this?"

Xia Yu nodded firmly.

"Damn it!"

"Hall Master Xia, giving away heaven-defying Divine Talismans for free, what does Mr. Yan mean by this?"

"Who cares what it means, if there are free Divine Talismans to be collected, I wouldn’t hesitate to join their Ziyi Hall!"

"Right, I’d be willing to join Ziyi Hall..."

"Damn it!"

Ma Lu, who had been stunned, jumped up in excitement when he heard that everyone was willing to join Ziyi Hall for a Divine Talisman.

"Haha!"

The slightly out-of-control Ma Lu laughed loudly, "We are going to flourish, we are going to flourish, our Ziyi Hall is going to prosper!"

Xia Yu gave a glance to the nearly delirious Ma Lu.

"Senior Brother, please do not forget your bet with Brother Yan!"

Ma Lu was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, "Junior Sister, you are joking, how could I forget? I will go to meet Senior Brother Yan right now!"

Ma Lu’s hasty figure disappeared in front of Ziyi Hall, clearly on his way to find Yan Rufeng and bow to him as his senior brother.

After selling all the Divine Talismans, Xia Yu cleared her throat and addressed the crowd, "Everyone, the public sale of Divine Talismans by Ziyi Hall has now ended. From now on, if anyone wishes to obtain the talismans drawn by Brother Yan, they can only do so by joining us under Ziyi Hall. There’s nothing more to say, please inform each other."

After a slight pause, Xia Yu continued, "Of course, if anyone wishes to join Ziyi Hall right now, not only will they receive a set of ten Divine Talismans drawn by Brother Yan himself, but also Divine Pills crafted personally by Brother Yan!"

"What?"

"Did I hear wrong? Mr. Yan is not only a Rune Master but also an Alchemist, how is this possible?"

A sturdy man in the crowd looked at Xia Yu in disbelief and shouted that it was impossible.

"There is nothing impossible!"

Xia Yu spoke with fragrant words, taking out a Jade Bottle and addressing the crowd, "The Jade Bottle in my hand contains the Fourth-Order Divine Pills just refined by Brother Yan."

"Damn! Fourth-Order Divine Pills?"

Someone exclaimed in shock, "Does that mean Mr. Yan is a Fourth-rank Alchemist? This... this is impossible!"

"Hehe!"

A cold laugh came from the crowd.

"Fellow Daoist, I don’t like what you said. Why can’t Mr. Yan be a Fourth-rank Alchemist?"

The man retorted, "Fellow Daoist, you should know that even in the entire Xuanwu City, there are only a few who can refine Fourth-Order Divine Pills. If Mr. Yan were a Fourth-rank Alchemist, how could Emperor Bei Chen not know him before?"

"Hehe!"

"Emperor Bei Chen is so great, huh? Why does Mr. Yan need you to recognize him to prove that he is a Fourth-rank Alchemist?"

"Haha!"

"I won’t argue with you. Anyway, I won’t believe it until Mr. Yan personally refines a batch of Fourth-Order Elixir!"

Emperor Bei Chen sneered, disappointedly looking at Xia Yu, shaking his head.

"Whether you believe it or not, I do!"

"You believe it, but why don’t I see you joining their Ziyi Hall!" Emperor Bei Chen sneered.

"Humph!"

The man gave a cold snort, turned around, and walked towards Xia Yu.

"Hall Master Xia, I, Fourth Brother Song, am willing to join Ziyi Hall, but how exactly does one join Ziyi Hall?"

Xia Yu stepped forward with a smile blooming like a flower.

"Dear Daoist, joining our Ziyi Hall requires nothing more than swearing an oath to the heavens to express your sincerity!"

"Hehe..."

The man chuckled, "That’s easy, I will swear right now!"

Then the man’s face turned serious, and he raised his clenched right hand slowly, lifting it to his ear, and declared loudly, "I, Fourth Brother Song, swear to the heavens, from today onwards, I join Ziyi Hall. As long as Ziyi Hall does not commit any deeds against heaven and humanity, I will never leave Ziyi Hall. From now on, I am willing to share honor and disgrace with Ziyi Hall. If I break this oath, may the heavens punish me!"

In the Divine Realm, oath-takers who break their vows truly face the wrath of the heavens. Unless desperate or forced, people in the Divine Realm do not easily make oaths.

Because swearing in the Divine Realm not only has more potency than in the Immortal World but also brings divine punishment, under which the Divine Soul will perish without any chance of survival...

After swearing the oath, Fourth Brother Song had officially joined Ziyi Hall. Xia Yu was generous and, as promised earlier, handed out ten various Divine Talismans and a bottle of Fourth-Order Nourishing Essence Pill.

Receiving the Divine Talismans and Nourishing Essence Pill, Fourth Brother Song was ecstatic. He immediately pulled in his two friends who had come with him to join Ziyi Hall as well...

In front of Ziyi Hall, out of the crowd that came to buy Divine Talismans, besides Emperor Bei Chen, five others had not joined Ziyi Hall. The rest, more than a dozen, all joined under Ziyi Hall.

Currently, with Yan Rufeng included, Ziyi Hall had a total of fourteen members. In the Divine Realm, such a small group was hardly worth mentioning, but within the Feiyun Gang, it could easily rank in the top ten.

"Haha!"

Standing at the entrance of Ziyi Hall, Xia Yu had a fit of wild laughter in her heart.

"At last, our Ziyi Hall has grown stronger. Now let’s see who can still dissolve our Ziyi Hall..."

At this moment, Xia Yu was overjoyed in her heart. Of course, after this incident, her opinion of Yan Rufeng had risen several levels.

Naturally, Yan Rufeng had become the senior brother of Ziyi Hall and held a position higher than that of Xia Yu by one rank.

Since Yan Rufeng had become the senior brother of Ziyi Hall, he naturally had to strive for the welfare of Ziyi Hall. On his first day in office, he was invited by Xia Yu to the hall and took his seat at the central position of the senior brother.

In the hall, a deathly silence prevailed. Yan Rufeng lifted his head and glanced at the people on either side, finally moving his gaze to Xia Yu.

"Hall Master Xia, now that our Ziyi Hall is in need of drastic improvements, everyone’s cultivation level except for yours and mine is generally below the mid-stage of the Heavenly God Realm. To enhance the overall strength of our Ziyi Hall, we must intensify our efforts."
