Chapter 159: 159

However, after thinking it over, although I have no evidence, Sun Yongsheng collaborating with Hellfire must be true.

As for Sun Zhe, he might be innocent, but like father, like son. If the father’s hands are dirty, can his son be clean?

With this thought, Ye Haochuan’s mood slightly relaxed as he typed a reply, "Received, I’m not afraid of being investigated."

Long Xiaotian sent an emoji of hitting, teasingly cursed, "Don’t be too cocky, kid. It’s best to be careful."

Ye Haochuan immediately replied with a sweating emoji, expressing dissatisfaction, ’Please, am I even being cocky?’

The two went back and forth chatting and bantering for a while, then suddenly, Long Xiaotian asked about his current cultivation progress.

Ye Haochuan lazily replied, "Currently trying to break through, aiming to advance to the Postnatal Mid-Stage soon."

Long Xiaotian praised him enthusiastically, sending a thumbs-up emoji, "Any difficulties?"

Ye Haochuan sent a cheeky emoji, "With Holy Hand’s previous breakthrough experience, it’s a walk in the park for me now. I have quite a few Qi Condensing Pills that I’ve snagged, plus those Qi Condensation Pills that I’ve refined myself. I believe with diligent practice these next few days, breaking through to the Postnatal Mid-Stage shouldn’t be a problem."

"Good, once you break through to the Postnatal Mid-Stage, log in to the Huaxia Dragon Group’s mobile platform and apply for promotion. Then you’ll get the corresponding rewards yourself."

"Got it, I know."

"Oh, there’s one thing I forgot to ask you about, have you used our Ancient Martial Arts Sect’s internal software feature ’Nearby Sect Members’?"

"No, I haven’t!"

"You better try it out. These people are all Outer Sect Disciples from our Sect in the secular world. Getting to know them and maintaining good relations will greatly benefit your growth, especially when undertaking difficult missions for the Sect. It’s much better to work together than to go it alone."

Is there such a good thing?

Ye Haochuan was a bit surprised; indeed, he remembered that feature in the app. But he thought it was similar to WeChat’s "People Nearby" function—a search just brings up a bunch of people who are bored all day. So, he wasn’t too interested.

"Okay, I got it."

"Also, just to let you know, be mentally prepared. I’ve already uncovered some clues about wrongful deaths related to Holy Hand and others. As soon as it’s confirmed, I’ll notify you to conduct further investigations."

Seeing there were leads on the wrongful deaths involving Holy Hand and others, Ye Haochuan gladly replied, "OK, no problem."

After ending the chat with Long Xiaotian, Ye Haochuan logged into the "Huaxia Dragon Group" and tried searching for "Nearby Sect Members."

Turns out, he really found several, although all the profiles had system-generated avatars.

However, aside from the avatars, there was no other information available. It seemed that even among Sect members, there was considerable protection of personal information.

From the avatars, apart from one female account ID named "Sexy isn’t my fault," the rest were all male accounts.

Damn it, with such a provocative name, I definitely have to add her as a friend!

Without much thought, Ye Haochuan promptly chose an extremely lewd ID for himself.

Then, one by one, he added these "Nearby People" as friends, naturally, the account "Sexy isn’t my fault" was the top priority.

However, perhaps because it was deep into the night, there was no immediate feedback on adding these Sect members as friends.

Waiting fruitlessly for quite a while, Ye Haochuan gradually lost patience. He thought rather than wasting time, he might as well focus on cultivating the Longevity Technique and strive to break through to the Postnatal Mid-Stage soon. Only then would he have sufficient strength to face any imminent crises.

This cultivation session lasted for several hours.

As time ticked away, he gradually felt his Essence Qi becoming fuller, and the True Qi in his body was also quite abundant, seemingly bringing him one step closer to breaking through the boundary.

During this period, whenever his True Qi was on the verge of exhaustion, he would take a Qi Condensing Pill and continue to break through.

However, after much effort, he had consumed dozens of Qi Condensin Pills, but still repeatedly failed.

But Ye Haochuan was not discouraged at all, failing and fighting again and again.

Finally—

Hiss!

Suddenly, a powerful aura burst forth from Ye Haochuan’s body, causing his clothes to rustle loudly.

"Great, I’ve finally broken through to the Postnatal Mid-Stage..."

Feeling stronger than before, a joyful smile spread across Ye Haochuan’s face. With greater strength, he was more confident in handling crises.

Recalling Long Xiaotian’s earlier advice, Ye Haochuan immediately logged onto the Huaxia Dragon Group and applied online for promotion.

Soon, the system popped up a message, stating that a promotion test was needed and asking for confirmation.

Ye Haochuan immediately clicked confirm.

Soon, his phone screen displayed a very modern-looking picture with an icon labeled "Power Test."

In the picture, in an open space, there stood a highly technological power testing machine.

Damn, the integration between the Ancient Martial Arts World and the secular world is quite high—they even have such high-tech stuff.

Ye Haochuan was somewhat surprised and clicked confirm again; soon, he felt a blur before his eyes. Somehow, it seemed like his spirit had been taken away, suddenly jumping out of the original space and entering another world.

And this world was exactly the one he had just seen on his phone, with the power testing machine right beside him.

The area around the power testing machine was vast, void, and endless.

"Ye Haochuan, we are now conducting the power test."

An austere, emotionless voice entered his ears, then explained how to conduct the test.

Ye Haochuan listened carefully, memorized the instructions, and then threw a punch at the power testing machine. In a short time, the display on the machine promptly showed the number 2100 jin.

At the same time, that austere and emotionless voice entered his ears again: "Congratulations, you have passed the test and successfully promoted."

In the midst of his quiet joy, his vision blurred again, and he returned to reality, finding himself in a familiar place.

Damn, Ancient Martial Arts Sects are awesome, actually allowing one to travel through dreams!

Ye Haochuan was shocked. At that moment, his phone notification sounded, and a message about the Sect’s promotion rewards popped up.

Among the rewards, besides a grey card symbolizing his identity in the Postnatal Mid-Stage, there were also one hundred Qi Condensing Pills.

Recalling that he had only received ten Qi Condensing Pills when he first advanced to the Postnatal Early Stage, but now suddenly getting a hundred, it was truly exhilarating!

Especially thinking about the batch of Qi Condensing Pills he had previously acquired, an idea struck Ye Haochuan. He took out all the Qi Condensing Pills from his ring, then chose the spatial transmission feature, which cost ten percent of the Qi Condensing Pills as a fee, and uploaded them into the system.

Soon, the system displayed that the number of Qi Condensing Pills had reached an astonishing 531.

At the same time, Ye Haochuan also discovered another surprising change.
