The Wolf Fang Peninsula had a long and narrow terrain, extending about three thousand miles south to the Storm Sea. The southern tip of the peninsula was like a sharp wolf fang that bit into the Storm Sea.

Chen Xun stayed in the Wolf Fang Peninsula to cultivate. Of course not in Crescent Moon City, He, Zong Ya, and Feng Hu crossed mountains and rivers to reach the southernmost tip of the peninsula. They saw hurricane cyclones seemingly standing still on the deep sea surface. Hundreds of millions of tons of seawater were swept up into the sky by the wind pillars. They were like giant black dragons hanging from clouds that were ten thousand feet tall, and thunderbolts raged down from the clouds to increase the might of the hurricane.

If they were caught in the hurricane, not to mention mortals, even barbarians with successful cultivation would be instantly torn apart by the terrifying power of the Wind Eye.

“Ten years ago, when I came with Wind Tyrant, it was still a two hundred zhang tall stone peak. I didn’t expect that it had already been swept away by the hurricane.” The Wind Tiger pointed at a stone platform not far in front of him. It was only a dozen kilometers around the stone platform, but it was only a dozen zhang tall. The surface of the stone platform was extremely smooth. It was hard to imagine what kind of hurricane it would be that could directly cut off the two to three hundred zhang stone peak.

Although the mountains at the southern tip of the peninsula were filled with bare stone cliffs and peaks, there were extremely luxuriant ancient trees growing in the deep valley of the gorge, giving birth to extremely strong vitality.

“Blood King Ginseng!”

Cloud Continent’s extremely rare Tier 3 or 4 spirit herbs could be found everywhere in the isthmus valley of the Wolf Fang Peninsula.

He, Zong Ya, and Feng Hu didn’t deliberately search for them. Seventy to eighty spirit herbs, such as the Stone Snake Lotus and Dragon Pill Grass, that had grown for over a thousand years, were found. He didn’t expect to see three more Blood King Ginseng growing in the rift valley beneath his feet.

“Zi!”

The one guarding the three Blood King Ginseng stalks was a lizard beast. It could feel the powerful aura emanating from Chen Xun’s body. It was filled with fear, but it was unwilling to let the Blood King Ginseng, which it had guarded for many years, fall into the hands of others just like that.

The Lizard Beast’s sharp claws lay on the stone wall, its long tongue like a bright red sword, piercing through an iron-scaled wood that only four or five people could surround, wanting to scare Chen Xun away.

The lizard beast was a common desolate beast in the Wolf Fang Peninsula. It was 50-60 feet long and had thick scales. It usually lived in the Gap Gorge and had the ability to break through rocks and drill through the earth.

The lizard beast in front of him looked only 20 feet long, but its scales were shining like gold, not gold, not jade, and its ferocious forehead had two horns protruding out of it.

“It’s actually a mutant lizard.” Zong Ya and Feng Hu also flew into the rift valley. They looked at the lizard with interest and said, “Perhaps this lizard will wait for the three Blood King Ginseng to mature before consuming it to cultivate into an Origin Pill.”

“Three stalks of Blood King Ginseng, I’ll leave one for you.” Chen Xun said to the lizard beast.

“This beast can understand human language?” Feng Hu asked doubtfully.

“Roar!” The lizard let out a muffled roar, as if it was dissatisfied with the Wind Tiger. After a moment of hesitation, it finally retreated into the depths of the cave, not daring to stop Chen Xun from digging up the Blood King Ginseng.

Chen Xun carefully removed the mud and stones, and the Blood King Ginseng that was thicker than Feng Hu’s arm revealed itself underground. Its roots were blood red, like immortal blood, and emitted a faint Spiritual Light. It could be seen that its efficiency in absorbing Sun Moon Essence and Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was no slower than that of ordinary Xuan Xiu. It was indeed worthy of being called a grade seven spirit medicine.

Although the Meng Clan’s Treasure Gathering Pavilion also had six or seven grade spirit medicines for sale, those were all semi-finished spirit medicines that had been processed. They could only be used as combination medicines, but they could not be transplanted into the Void Origin Pearl.

Chen Xun took out a jade bottle and carefully pierced through the epidermis of the two Blood King Ginseng strains with a golden needle. After collecting a small half of the bottle of ginseng liquid, he then moved the two withered Blood King Ginseng strains into the Void Origin Spirit Land.

Chen Xun wanted to see if the two Blood King Ginseng Strains would mutate further after absorbing the Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos from the Void Origin Pearl.

Chen Xun put away the jade bottle that contained half a bottle of pills and said to Feng Hu, “With this half bottle of Blood King Ginseng Liquid, we can refine more Life Extension Spiritual Pills when we return.”

“True Master Chen, what kind of special herbs do you need to refine spirit pills? Just tell us,” said Feng Hu. “Even though we reckless men don’t know how to refine pills, we can still climb mountains and mountains, kill demonic beasts, and pick herbs.”

“Do you think I have nothing else to gain along the way other than picking herbs for refining spirit pills?” Chen Xun smiled and said, “How can we cultivate, seek enlightenment, and deduce the truth of the Grand Dao’s operation? How can plants and vegetation grow naturally, grow more subtly, and become closer to reality than in this isthmus rift valley? It’s hard for me to cultivate.”

Feng Hu had cultivated the secret arts of the Feng Clan since he was young, but when it came to comprehending the Grand Dao, he was far inferior to Zong Ya, let alone Chen Xun, who had comprehended the changes in Yin Yang Qi from the ordinary grass and wood. He rubbed the back of his head and asked, “Is it so mysterious?”

“If it weren’t for the extreme convergence of Yin and Yang Qi here, how could such a spirit object be nurtured?” Chen Xun patiently explained to Feng Hu how to comprehend the evolution of the Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Wind Tiger was already a peak Eighth Order savage cultivator. If he wanted to make a further breakthrough in his cultivation, he needed to comprehend more of his Dao Insight.

*************************

After finding two Blood King Ginseng stalks and refining the Life Extension Spirit Pill, Chen Xun, Zong Ya, and Feng Hu Xing Yue rushed back to Moontooth City.

The city wall around Crescent Moon City was roughly twenty kilometers long. Following that, a large amount of copper and iron had to be smelted and poured into it to forge many defensive formations. However, it was now like a serpentine dragon lying on the south bank of Crescent Moon Bay.

The first group of buildings in the city was the Azure Water Academy.

Chen Xun practiced the principle of separating the secular power from the secular power of the Xuan Xiu Sect. Although he inherited the position of City Lord of Crescent Moon, he belonged to the Wolf Fang Marquis, the Feng Clan.

Mountain Parasol’s direct jurisdiction over the Wolf Fang Peninsula was only the Azure Water Academy.

Lei Wanhe would temporarily stay in Crescent Moon City and preside over the Azure Water Academy.

Chen Xun developed Canglan Academy as an outer sect force in Mountain Parasol to expand Mountain Parasol’s influence in Snowdragon Mountain. He saw that the Feng clan and other tribes of Snowdragon Mountain were not good at refining magical artifacts, nor were they good at refining medicinal pills. Thus, he transferred Daoist Lengyue’s eldest disciple, Rong Ying, to Canglan Academy.

Apart from moving the members of the Wind Tiger Tribe into Crescent Moon City, the Feng Clan also allowed over a thousand young disciples of the Feng Clan to enter the Azure Water Academy to cultivate. They were considered outer sect disciples of Mountain Parasol.

The requirements of Mountain Parasol’s outer sect disciples were merely to follow the sect’s laws and decrees during their cultivation period and not to privately impart Mountain Parasol’s cultivation methods and profound arts to others. This did not violate their principle of loyalty to the clan at the same time, and also dispelled the doubts of Feng Hu, Feng Ba, and other upper echelons of the Feng clan.

As a result, Mountain Parasol could not only gradually expand its influence in Snowdragon Mountain, but also continuously gather the cultivation resources of Wolf Fang Peninsula through many outer sect disciples and the clans and tribes behind them.

With such a system, there was no need for Mountain Parasol to use bloody methods to plunder anything.

With the Feng Clan’s secret technique, the biggest drawback was that it was extremely harmful to the flesh and bones. Chen Xun had Lei Wanhe teach the disciples of the Canglan Academy to strengthen their foundation and nourish their meridians. At the same time, he had Rong Ying concoct a large number of Origin Cultivation Spiritual Pills that could prolong their life and strengthen their foundation and nourish their origin.

There were a large number of low-grade barbarians of the Feng clan, and their lifespan was only forty to fifty years. As long as their lifespan was doubled, even if the population of the Feng clan did not increase, the number of barbarian cultivators they could possess would double drastically.

Feng Ba, Feng Hu, and the others weren’t Mountain Parasol’s outer sect disciples. Although Chen Xun hadn’t taught them the Nine Tribulations Body Refining Secret Technique, he had still helped the Feng Clan deduce and complete the Body Refining Secret Technique that had been passed down from generation to generation in exchange for the Feng Clan’s Secret Scripture Barbarian Diagram.

Man Tu involved directly communicating with the secrets of the Heaven Earth Yuan Force, which was of great help to Chen Xun in further perfecting the Spiritual Lake Array.

After finishing these things, two years passed in a hurry. Feng shi had also built a new Marquis City in the coastal plain 200 miles south of Moontooth City.

However, there were too few people from the Feng clan. Whether it was mining or farming, there weren’t enough people.

To the north of the Wolf Fang Peninsula, the tribes in Snowdragon Mountain were all loyal to Emperor Xi Wu. The Feng clan could not afford to fight lightly and plunder people, so they purchased slaves from Danzhou on a large scale to make up for the shortage of people in the Wolf Fang Peninsula.

The slave trade in Danzhou was extremely popular, mainly because after the Zhu Clan followed the Xi Martial Emperor into the Snowdragon Mountain, the commoners wanted to transfer a large number of spatial formations into the Heavenly Jun Realm, which consumed a great deal of energy, so it was far inferior to plundering slaves from the surrounding tribes to make up for the shortage of population.

Back then, Chen Xun had purchased thousands of bitter slaves from Danzhou to build Crescent Moon City, but after Crescent Moon City was largely completed, he had the Nan clan allow these bitter slaves to obtain civilian status.

If the disciples of these bitter slaves had the qualifications, they could also enter Canglan College to cultivate.

**********************

Chen Xun had just returned to the Azure Water Academy and handed all the spirit herbs he had picked during his trip to Rong Ying when Ah Ke ran over. Nan Liao, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, had actually arrived at Crescent Moon City this time.

Chen Xun said in surprise, “Why is Uncle Nan Liao here? You’ve worked so hard, can you bear it?”

Only disciples with cultivation above the Reincarnation Realm could resist the tearing of the spatial array by connecting the Western Ancestral Dragon Mountain of Cloud Continent with the Snow Dragon Mountain of Heavenly Jun Realm. Disciples below the True Yang Realm and commoners could even harm their intelligence through the spatial array.

The God General had already prepared for the loss of a large number of civilians from Cloud Continent, but Mountain Parasol would not do so.

“I will come to the Heavenly Jun Realm to provide for my old age,” laughed Nan Liao. “You won’t drive me away, will you?”

“What are you talking about?” Chen Xun smiled. “Right now, it’s the Nan Clan’s Sealing Moon City. If you want to rush, it’s Uncle Nan Liao who chased me away.”

“You don’t have the mood for the secular power of the Love Store, but what about your future offspring? This old bone of mine is useless, so I will guard this inheritance for the Chen Clan.” Although Nan Liao’s cultivation was limited, after consuming the Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill, his lifespan was no longer below that of an ordinary Origin Core warrior, and he could live for 1,000 to 2,000 years without a doubt.

Chen Xun laughed and didn’t discuss this topic with Uncle Nan Liao. He sent Nan Liao away and left Ah Ke alone, asking about her cultivation progress in the next few months.

Chen Xun first used Primordial Chaos Yuan Breath and Profound Yang True Fire to help Ah Ke wash her meridians and build her foundation. Ah Ke had cultivated Spirit Yuan a year ago and advanced to Heaven Yuan. Afterwards, Chen Xun used a secret technique to infuse the seed of consciousness that contained the Great Freedom Sword Intent into Ah Ke’s spiritual sea, helping her clear the obstacles to cultivating the Origin Pill.

This was also the first time Chen Xun had used the Empowerment Secret Technique to forcefully plant a seed of understanding in another person’s spiritual sea. Not to mention the enormous consumption, the key was for Ah Ke to focus on her own cultivation. Only then would this seed of understanding be able to take root and germinate in her spiritual sea. On this basis, she would be able to cultivate her primordial spirit and primordial pill and truly step into Xuan Xiu’s threshold.

“Ah Ke may not be able to say it, but she feels that she has some enlightenment in the dark, but she doesn’t understand it clearly.” Ah Ke said coquettishly.

“Then sit down and I’ll see for myself.” Chen Xun said.

A shy blush appeared on Ah Ke’s slippery face, and she obediently sat down cross-legged in front of Chen Xun.

Ah Ke’s hair was like a crow, tied up casually with a red silk, and flowed down like a waterfall.

This was also the first time Chen Xun had used the Great Empowerment Technique taught by the Azure Bull Master to help others fill in the seeds of knowledge. There were many things that he wasn’t confident about, so he had to be careful again.

He reached out to touch Ah Ke’s head and entered her spiritual sea. He saw that her spiritual sea was filled with golden mist, as if chaos had yet to open.

Although Ah Ke hadn’t truly mastered the Great Freedom Sword Intent, the fusion of the Seed of Sense and her spiritual sea was better than at the beginning. It seemed that Ah Ke was indeed suitable for cultivating the Great Freedom Sword Technique. Chen Xun withdrew his mind and instructed her, “You must cultivate diligently. Without an Origin Core Realm cultivation in the Heavenly Jun Realm, you wouldn’t even be able to walk out of the Snowdragon Mountain.”

“…” Ah Ke’s heart was filled with the shyness of having her clothes stripped naked, and her body was slightly hot. “Ah Ke knows.”

“Eh!” Chen Xun’s mind was disturbed by another matter as he stared out of the window in the direction of the crescent moon bay.

“What’s the matter?” Ah Ke did not know what had happened.

“Maybe it’s the Golden Scales. Black Scales encountered something. His aura suddenly became cold.” Chen Xun frowned and said, “I’ll go take a look.”

The deep-water trough that Golden Scales and Black Scales cultivated was four to five hundred kilometers away from Crescent Moon City. Even if it was the Golden Scaled Demonic Dragon and Black Scaled Demonic Dragon, Ah Ke still couldn’t sense it.

However, she wanted to see what was happening in the ocean trough where the golden and black scales were cultivating. She wanted to know what was happening in the depths of several thousand feet.

Seeing Ah Ke hesitate to say anything, Chen Xun knew what she was thinking and said, “Alright, it would be good for you to follow her for a long time.”
