Chapter 256: Chapter 0256: The Rise of the Myriad Spirits Formation (Eighteenth Update)

Upon realizing that Chu Ge’s earlier aura was not directed at him, Huo Tianqian undoubtedly relaxed, and after calming down, he said, "At that time, I followed your instructions and personally went to Su City to fetch the Earth Ganoderma. Initially, I thought it was just a matter of money. It was only when I got there that I realized it wasn’t that simple."

"Sect?" Chu Ge directly asked.

"Sort of," Huo Tianqian nodded and then shook his head, "It’s a prominent family in Su City, the Tang Family!"

"The Tang Family?" Chu Ge muttered to himself.

"Anything else?" Chu Ge glanced at Huo Tianqian. "A minor municipal-level family like that shouldn’t have left you in such a sorry state."

Chu Ge was right. Although the Four Great Families were all based in Shanghai, the city was different from other places; it’s an international metropolis. Even if placed in Beijing, the Four Great Families would still be considered top-tier among the second-line families.

As for the so-called Tang family, they were obviously not as impressive when compared to the Four Great Families.

"Behind the Tang Family is an Ancient Martial Sect!"

Upon hearing Huo Tianqian’s words, the Nangong siblings also straightened up, their gaze locked tightly on him.

If it were just the Tang Family, there would be no need to take it seriously. But now it’s implicated with an Ancient Martial Sect, and that’s no trifling matter!

To be called a Sect, at the very least, it means it’s involved with an Innate Grandmaster.

An Innate Grandmaster, even for the top-tier families in Beijing, is a presence to be taken seriously!

"The Earth Ganoderma was taken by the Tang Family. I was ready to pay a hefty sum to buy it. They agreed at the time, but something went wrong during the negotiation."

Huo Tianqian seemed to recall the scenario, baring his teeth with anger, "At that time, an Innate Grandmaster showed up!"

"An Innate Grandmaster?" Chu Ge slightly furrowed his brow, "With your strength, you shouldn’t have been able to escape from the hands of an Innate."

Huo Tianqian’s abilities were personally developed by Chu Ge, who was clear about his limits.

"The location of the transaction," Huo Tianqian said, "I purposely chose a high-end hotel. I directly broke through the walls; even if he was an Innate Grandmaster, he wouldn’t dare to make a move openly on the street."

"Hmm." Chu Ge nodded, which made sense.

"Why did he attack you?"

"He..." Huo Tianqian cautiously glanced at Chu Ge, "He saw that my strength was forcibly enhanced into the Postnatal Realm, and moreover, it took less than a month. So, he assumed that I had a treasure that could let an ordinary person directly step into the Postnatal Realm!"

"Men die for wealth, as birds die for food." Chu Ge uttered softly, his gaze suddenly turning cold, "Heh, the Tang Family? No matter how big the cake is, one has to consider if their appetite can handle it. It seems that this time, you’re going to choke!"

After asking for more details, Chu Ge then sat silently on the sofa.

Huo Tianqian lay on the sofa with a look of utter defeat. His current state effectively spelled the end of him. During his time in Su City, the Ancient Martial Sect behind the Tang Family had continuously sent people to assassinate him. The fact that he was able to make it back to Shanghai was a sign of his great fortune.

As for the Postnatal Realm? It was akin to having been given a one-month trial card... with a terrible user experience.

"Mr. Chu..." Nangong Man Sha tapped her red nails against her knee, speaking softly, "I can have my family step in and negotiate. It’s just a medicinal herb, however valuable it may be, I believe the Tang Family will give face to the Nangong Family."

"I believe that, given the influence of the Nangong Family, the Tang Family dare not defy, and it’s very likely that we’ll safely procure the Earth Ganoderma." Chu Ge looked up at Nangong Man Sha and then shifted his gaze to Huo Tianqian, "But what about the injuries on Huo Tianqian?"

"This..." Nangong Man Sha looked at Huo Tianqian and fell silent.

There was no doubt about the secular influence of the Nangong Family, but she didn’t believe the family could influence an Ancient Martial Sect.

"Right, didn’t you say I was all style and no substance?" Chu Ge suddenly stood up from the sofa, speaking softly to Nangong Yun Hai.

Hearing this, Nangong Man Sha’s expression changed, thinking that Chu Ge was in a bad mood and looking to vent his anger on someone. She quickly said, "Previously, my younger brother was disrespectful, I..."

"Don’t worry, I am not so petty." Chu Ge glanced at Nangong Man Sha and walked towards the door, "If you want to witness my methods, then come to the estate with me."

......

Everyone present was wealthy, so they were not overly shocked by the luxurious estate. However, Huo Tianqian’s spirit suddenly lifted upon being carried inside. He may now be a cripple, but after all, he once stepped into the ranks of Martial Artists and was highly sensitive to the Spiritual Energy scattered between heaven and earth.

The Spiritual Energy in this estate was at least several times higher than the outside world!

And the deeper into the estate, the richer the Spiritual Energy.

"Put him down."

Finally, in a small pavilion in the middle of the estate, Chu Ge commanded Ah Hu.

Ah Hu waved his hand, and two men carrying the stretcher immediately placed Huo Tianqian in the center of the pavilion.

"Mr. Chu..." Huo Tianqian stared intently at Chu Ge, filled with a mix of fear and excitement.

He still couldn’t forget the time when Chu Ge helped him step into the Postnatal Realm!

"Activate the array!"

White fog permeated, and the entire estate was enveloped in a thick layer of white fog.

"This is..." Nangong Yun Hai’s eyes widened in disbelief, but before he could react, what happened next completely surpassed his understanding.

A long chant, and a white Jiao Long (flood dragon) emerged from the depths of the white fog, circling directly above Chu Ge’s head.

"Not bad, it can actually recognize its master." Chu Ge looked at the White Dragon with a slight smile and nodded.

The reason why the estate was rich in Spiritual Energy was because there was a dried-up Spirit Vein underground. However, what he didn’t expect was that the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning Array seemed to have slightly revived the Spirit Vein.

Of course, it was just an indication; otherwise, a direct revival of a Spirit Vein would probably cover a hundred miles with an incredibly thick layer of Spiritual Energy.

Despite that, the Spiritual Energy turned into a White Dragon obtained some faint consciousness, at least it could distinguish the true master of the estate.

"Mr. Chu, this... this is..."

Nangong Man Sha’s mouth was agape, staring in shock at the White Dragon circling overhead.

"It’s just a dragon formed of Spiritual Energy, not a real Jiao Long."

Even though Chu Ge explained it this way, the people around still looked incredulous, for what they were witnessing had already exceeded the level of common human understanding!
