Chapter 286: Chapter 227: I am Yan Chuan! Cult Invasion!

"Brother Ding, Brother Ye, they all say Yan Chuan is difficult to handle. In my opinion, Wang Zhengyi is even tougher!"

Xiong Ji received tonight’s task from the Three Envoys, targeting Wang Zhengyi, one of the ’Four Masters of Jian Province.’ However, he had his own thoughts: "Wang Zhengyi has the ’Mirage Pearl’; once in danger, the fog arises, making it difficult to capture him or flee. Rather than that, we should do the opposite. Everyone thinks Yan Chuan is hard to deal with, thinks it’s not easy to provoke the innate, but how could Jiang Bianliu always watch over Yan Chuan? We might as well hunt Yan Chuan. The three of us make our move together, take Yan Chuan down in one encounter, and then leave. Capturing Yan Chuan is much better than capturing ten or twenty ordinary geniuses, isn’t it?"

Xiong Ji spoke eloquently, with a core idea: changing the target from Wang Zhengyi to Yan Chuan!

Ding Xiong and Ye Liuxi exchanged a glance—

Goodness!

The Three Envoys just participated in the Four Sects’ joint discussion and distribution of their respective targets, but coming back, they went against it, ignoring the final stipulations, and directly arranged tasks on their own.

And Xiong Ji dared to do the same.

Having just received the task, he came out and didn’t recognize it, ignoring the Three Envoys’ distribution, and immediately wanted to privately change the target.

Like superiors, like subordinates!

Truly daring!

But to be fair, what Xiong Ji said made quite a lot of sense, and besides: "Yan Chuan isn’t alone there, there’s also the Zhou Family Sisters bedridden with severe injuries, basically a given. Buy one, get five free, this deal’s worth doing!"

Ding Xiong’s expression brightened.

Ye Liuxi, though usually silent, simply nodded in agreement: "Alright!"

Xiong Ji was delighted.

The three of them thus reached a consensus, left the meeting point, gathered their forces, sending out batches to hunt other geniuses, while they took ten elite confidants and charged towards the Taikang Academy’s location!

...

On the night of March fifteenth, after the semifinals had ended, the Four Cults communicated with each other, deciding to act at three quarters past two in the morning.

That night.

In the middle of the night.

Yan Chuan was indoors, just organizing his gains and progress during the ’Jian Province Competition’. Then, his gaze fell on the ’Spiritual’ section—

"Even after accumulating a million experiences, the first to upgrade is the ’Derivation Skill,’ the second is ’Mutual Teaching and Learning,’ with ’Treasure Rock’ ranked third."

"For now, it’s not its turn."

Yan Chuan had initially intended to wait until ’Treasure Rock’ leveled up again to see what new changes might occur and subsequently use ’Spiritual’ to strengthen the Miracle Items.

Currently, the four treasures on him—

First is the ’Golden Silk Silkworm Armor,’ which can only protect the body; the limbs and head are not covered. Yan Chuan is contemplating whether to continue strengthening it, whether to upgrade it to Level 11.

Second is the ’Star Stone,’ which obviously needs continuous upgrading, but the ’Star Stone’ is currently already at Level 30—

[Miracle Item·Star Stone (Level 30): Naturally formed, can absorb ’Qi-Blood’ and ’Star’ power, shuttling between two overlapping worlds in close proximity. (Traits: Star Realm Gate, Mustard Space, Gravity Domain, Insight into All Heavens)]

(Temporarily unable to upgrade)

(Currently searching for mergeable materials.)

(Search complete, materials sorted by fitting degree—)

(① Star Stone *2)

...

’Star Stone’ is precious!

Especially this ’Star Stone,’ strengthened to Level 30, its value is immeasurable. Yan Chuan seeks stability, and he could well wait another two or three months for ’Treasure Rock’ to rise to the third level. The ’Level 30 Star Stone’ is adequate for now, so no rush to continue upgrading; it can be temporarily set aside.

The third treasure is the ’White Horn Trumpet,’ which Yan Chuan obtained at Nanyue Lake’s Iron Arm Monkey Mountain, made from the ’White Horn’ of the ’White Horned Water Rhinoceros’. Qi-blood activates it to transmit sound over miles; during the entire ’Jian Province Competition,’ Yan Chuan’s voice could be heard across the venue, tailored for such occasions by him.

"White Horn Trumpet!"

"Level 10 is already enough, no need for further upgrades for now."

Whether to continue keeping it depends on the situation later.

This can also be set aside for now.

As for the fourth treasure, strengthened by this ’Treasure Rock,’ compared to the previous three, it’s not as fixed.

At the start of the ’Jian Province Competition,’ the fourth slot was a pair of glasses made by Yan Chuan, allowing far-sightedness, so he could easily see the details on the arena from the spectator seat—

From big moves!

To the tremble of every muscle, the contraction of every pore, enabling Yan Chuan to better narrate and explain.

Later, he found it unnecessary to be so detailed, unnecessary to make the arena explanations so specific; such detailed elaboration was less effective than his broad, expansive teaching of some basic boxing and swordsmanship, or discussing the practical and theoretical insights derived from the fighters’ matches.

So, the ’glasses’ were eliminated.

The freed-up fourth slot, Yan Chuan used for various experiments—

Rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, hairpins, jade pendants, pendants, felt hats, and so on, many ordinary small items, all taken by Yan Chuan for strengthening.

Ordinary items from none to level 10 require 550 Spiritual, then spending an additional 100 Spiritual for reinforced breaking. Without blending other materials, it will fail, shatter, and free up the slot again.

Relying on such ’Treasure Rock’ rules, Yan Chuan constantly experimented with strengthening various items, hoping to yield several ’top-quality characteristics’—

Such as ’Accelerated Cultivation.’

Such as ’Immune to Hundred Poisons.’

Such as ’Thousand Changes.’

Yan Chuan hoped to strengthen these types of traits.

The cost was not great.

Each attempt only consumed 650 points of Spiritual, and during the ’Jian Province Competition,’ Yan Chuan could research and develop one or two Xin-level Martial Arts daily, earning at least ten to twenty thousand Spiritual each day.
