Chapter 782: Chapter 780: Undercurrents

Lin Xuan had injured Yan Qingyang and acquired the Dark Supreme Token—the news quickly spread throughout the whole Immortal Martial Academy.

Countless people were shocked and amazed.

Yan Qingyang was the sixty-fourth ranked expert on the Xuan Venerate List and he also had an incredibly strong brother, making their background and strength formidable.

Even those who were masters generally did not want to provoke them.

However, a freshman had achieved such a feat, not only injuring Yan Qingyang but also boldly challenging Yan Qingchen three months later.

“This Lin Xuan is really arrogant, completely reckless.”

“Hmph, he’s too conceited. Challenging Yan Qingchen in three months is simply impossible!”

The entire academy was discussing Lin Xuan.

Yet Lin Xuan was not concerned with this; he was preparing for the Wanxiang Auction in Wind-Seeking City, more than a month later.

He had already sent a message, asking Yu Fei to gather information about the auction so he could prepare in advance.

The auction was going to be grand, and even before it started, many people had already set off for Wind-Seeking City, with various rumors flying everywhere.

Some said that Earth-ranked Martial Arts would appear at the auction, while others claimed that Eighth-grade Elixir Pills would be presented.

All in all, the fantastical news excited everyone.

A few days later, Yu Fei sent a message.

To attract people, the Wanxiang Auction had released part of the auction items, among which were the materials Lin Xuan needed to craft the Red Lotus Battle Armor.

Besides that, there was also a Half Earth-grade Sword.

For the Phoenix Blood Gilding, necessary for making the Red Lotus Battle Armor, Lin Xuan was determined to get it; it was essential for the armor’s creation.

Besides, that Half Earth-grade Sword also captivated him.

His best weapon at the moment was the Wind Shadow Sword, a Top-grade Spirit Rank Treasure, but it seemed somewhat inadequate now.

If he could acquire a Half Earth-grade Treasure, his attack power would increase several times, which would be a significant boost!

Of course, he also knew that such Half Earth-rank Treasures were extremely rare, and there would definitely be many martial artists vying for it.

What he needed to do now was to gather enough Spirit Stones.

Looking at the Spirit Stones in his Storage Ring, he had about seventy million, which would usually be more than enough.

But now, facing the Phoenix Blood Gilding and Half Earth-rank Treasure, it was far from sufficient.

With one month left, acquiring a large amount of Spirit Stones was not going to be easy.

He still had some treasures, such as thousand-year-old spiritual medicine, and several books on Half Earth-grade Martial Arts, which if sold, could also exchange for a significant amount of Spirit Stones.

But after estimating, it still wouldn’t be enough.

Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers tapping the table non-stop as he started to think of a solution.

Suddenly, his eyebrows lifted, and he thought of something.

The Green and Red Association!

He had visited two cities in the Blood Domain—Qingshan City and Flying Tiger City—and had conflicts with the local forces.

After he killed the City Lord of Flying Tiger City, a top expert from the Green and Red Association came to kill him.

Luckily, his movement technique was fast enough to allow him to escape unscathed.

But the matter couldn’t end like this!

Now, it was time to strike at them!

They must possess a vast amount of wealth, and together with the Wang Family of Lion Moon City, it should be enough.

The head of the Green and Red Association was a Third-tier Venerable, and his subordinates included many top experts… Lin Xuan contemplated in his heart, deducing the likelihood of defeating the opponent.

He found it difficult.

In addition to the headquarters of the Green and Red Association, there were six cities under its control, which were its six major branches.

Lin Xuan felt that it would be better to start with these branch cities.

Qingshan City, Flying Tiger City!

Lin Xuan identified two targets.

Not only that, he also planned to bring Nangong Sheng and Ma Rulong from the Sand Domain to establish a Fighting Arena here.

On one hand, he sent a message to the Sand Domain, and on the other hand, he gathered his forces, ready to start conquering Qingshan City and Flying Tiger City.

Actually, he didn’t need to take any action in these two cities himself, he just needed to keep an eye on the Green and Red Association.

He had Wang Li and Dongfang Xiong take a hundred men each to Qingshan City and Flying Tiger City, while Lin Xuan began to arrange other strategies.

He summoned the Dark Red Divine Dragon and had it carve a few Mystic Jade Platforms to use for emergencies.

The Mystic Jade Platform was equivalent to a small, portable Transmission Array, which was very convenient. However, manufacturing it was extremely troublesome, as the space teleportation engravings belonged to ancient techniques, and ordinary people could not possibly master them.

Only an old monster like the Dark Red Divine Dragon could master this.

Moreover, the materials required to engrave a single Mystic Jade Platform were very expensive, and ordinary people couldn’t afford to use them.

“Kid, the materials you provided are not good enough; I can only make one that teleports ten miles,” the Dark Red Divine Dragon said.

Seeing Lin Xuan’s flickering gaze, it sighed, “Alright, I haven’t recovered fully, so I can only make one that goes a thousand miles.”

“A thousand miles is enough,” Lin Xuan nodded.

Afterward, he went to the True Spirit Hall to exchange for some materials, giving them all to the Dark Red Divine Dragon to get to work.

Three days later, six Mystic Jade Platforms were engraved, capable of instantaneously moving a thousand miles, definitely a great method for saving one’s life!

Having stored the six Mystic Jade Platforms safely, Lin Xuan also received news from Wang Li and Dongfang Xiong that the two cities had been captured.

“Let’s go, it’s time for us to leave.”

Lin Xuan didn’t bring anyone with him, only the Dark Red Divine Dragon and the Snow White Monkey with him as he set off alone. His speed was very fast, and he reached Qingshan City within one day.

Qingshan City, ever since the leader of the Blood Wolf Gang had died, the Green and Red Association sent new experts to sit in. But how could they compete against the students from the Immortal Martial Academy?

Wang Li and his men didn’t have to exert much effort before they killed the enemy, and the rest of the gang members also surrendered.

“Brother Xuan, here is that guy’s Storage Ring, and this is the Blood Wolf Gang’s vault,” said Wang Li.

Lin Xuan nodded, swept his Soul Power over it, and then stored the Storage Ring.

Then, he walked to the Blood Wolf Gang’s vault, squinting his eyes.

The Blood Wolf Gang’s assets were richer than he had imagined, with just the Storage Ring containing fifty million Spirit Stones, not to mention other items.

In the vault, there were even more riches.

There were ninety million mid-grade Spirit Stones, along with some Weapons, inner armor, Cultivation Techniques, and Elixir Pills.

Lin Xuan waved his sleeve, collected all ninety million Spirit Stones into the Storage Ring, then spoke to the crowd, “I have a use for the Spirit Stones, I’ll take them. The rest of the items, you all can share.”

“Thank you, Brother Xuan!” members of the Dragon Sword Pavilion rejoiced.

The Blood Wolf Gang might not have been powerful, but their financial resources were substantial, it seems they did quite a few bad deeds in Qingshan City!

By now, Lin Xuan had more than two hundred million mid-grade Spirit Stones in his possession.

With a slight smile, he began to arrange Qingshan City.

Since he had already conquered this city, Lin Xuan had no intention of giving it up. He set up some Defensive Arrays, assigned some people, and then left.

The students from the Immortal Martial Academy couldn’t stay here for long, so he called Nangong Sheng and Ma Rulong to oversee these two cities.
