Start with the fisherman

At this time, Cao Ze was also in a rather embarrassing state. There was a foot-long wound on his black robe. This was caused by the Blood Demon Cult's grandmaster's counterattack before his death. If he hadn't practiced the Covering Sea Technique, his physical strength, nourished by dragon blood, would have long been beyond the reach of an ordinary dragon blood master. This knife might have wasted a pill of his Deliverance Pill.

However, the gains from this battle were equally huge. The experience value of Dao Seed had reached 784 million, and it was only two million short of upgrading from entry level to minor success.

Over the past three months, his daily comprehension of the Chaos Spirit Source Pearl had caused the progress bar to soar, earning him nearly five million points.

This battle directly increased the points by more than two million, which is equivalent to one and a half months of hard training!

No wonder some warriors choose to go to the open sea to take risks and fight for life and death when they encounter bottlenecks.

The battle between life and death can indeed allow a warrior to unleash amazing potential and even break through bottlenecks.

The entry-level Tao seeds alone have infinite uses and extraordinary power. Cao Ze is looking forward to what kind of changes the minor success Tao seeds can bring.

Soon!

With the Chaos Spirit Source Pearl, the remaining two million experience points can be obtained in just over a month.

But in Wang Ning's eyes, Cao Ze's appearance was a completely different picture.

Now that things have come to this, I might as well go all out.

Wang Ning became more and more fearful, and continued to stab Zhao Jianfeng in the back with the sword in his hand without slowing down.

Even though that kid was very powerful, he must have suffered serious injuries when he killed the Blood Demon Cult's Grandmaster. I am a genuine Grandmaster, so how could I not be able to defeat a little fellow at the Dragon Blood Realm who was seriously injured?

Ding!
Cao Ze raised his hand, and the Falling Star Blade moved without wind. In an instant, it suddenly grew to several feet long and blocked the tip of Wang Ning's sword in the blink of an eye.

He didn't know what had happened, but Zhao Jianfeng was a disciple of Xuanbao Pavilion, so he would naturally not hesitate to help anyone. And from the strong smell of blood coming from the cave, he could roughly guess what had happened.

A crisp collision sound was heard, and with just a raise of his hand he blocked the full-strength attack of the second-level grandmaster, as easy as pie.

"He took the Nine-transformation Blood Soul Flower and wanted to kill people to silence them!"

Zhao Jianfeng was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for Cao Ze, he would have died under Wang Ning's sword.

He flashed to Cao Ze's side and explained the whole story in the briefest words.

"Nine-turn Blood Soul Flower!"

Cao Ze’s eyes also lit up.

Even though he possessed a Xuanyu of the Dharmakaya level, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he heard this name.

Although the Xuanyu that Xuan Zhiming compensated for was of high level, the Yuanli contained in it was pure and rich, enough for him to practice for a long time.

But the high level also has its disadvantages, that is, it is not easy to refine. After all, it was originally meant to be refined by masters of the Dharmakaya Realm. For a little guy like Cao Ze in the Dragon Blood Realm, even with the Alchemy Cauldron Technique, the refining speed is shockingly slow.

But the Nine-Turn Blood Soul Flower is different. This elixir itself is at the grandmaster level, but its effects are so extraordinary that even warriors in the Dharmakaya realm would be tempted by it.

Naturally, there would be no hindrance in his refining, and he would be able to significantly improve his strength in a short period of time.

With a flash of his body, Cao Ze had already chased after Wang Ning. With his current level of Dao Seed, his burst of speed could easily surpass Wang Ning.

Swish!
The meteorite knife fell.

Ding...Puff...

The second-level Grandmaster Wang Ning had no power to resist, his sword broke, and he died!
Originally, he thought that this Jun Zijian was truly a benevolent and righteous gentleman, but he did not expect that he would kill people to silence them for the sake of treasure. Such a person deserves death.

After putting away Wang Ning's storage magic weapon and seeing the colorful flower inside it, Cao Ze couldn't help but feel excited.

"Go to the nearby valley to meet up with Jiang Yuanbai and the others, and return to Xuanbao Pavilion after rescuing the innocent people."

Cao Ze nodded to Zhao Jianfeng. Although they had not had much contact, he had a good impression of this disciple from Zixiao Peak.

After saying that, he leaped up into the sky and headed straight for the Kunpeng, which was thousands of meters in the sky.

Zhao Jianfeng stared at the figure disappearing in the clouds for a long time before he let out a long sigh.

He knew that Wang Ning would not be a match for Cao Ze, but he did not expect that this great master who left him with no way to go to heaven or enter the earth could not even withstand a single move from Cao Ze.

It is really depressing to be born in the same era as such a genius.

……

As Kunpeng slowly descended, a magnificent picture slowly unfolded before our eyes, as if it was a beautiful picture woven by the long river of history.

Below was no longer a jungle, mountain range or grassland, but a large city with densely packed buildings. Even on the Kunpeng, one could not see the end of the city at a glance. At first glance, all one could see were various well-arranged buildings. Even for Cao Ze, who had taken countless flights, this was the first time he had seen such a magnificent city.

Looking down from a high vantage point, it really looks like a huge painting appearing before your eyes.

Instead of moving forward, Cao Ze found a sparsely populated jungle, controlled the Kunpeng to land, and then put it into the storage magic weapon. He then took out the wooden horse carriage prepared by his third senior brother. The four of them got on the carriage and drove quickly towards the Donghai County City through the mountain jungle as if they were walking on flat ground.

Nearly ten days have passed since they left the cave canyon. During these days, with the help of the dual cultivation Dan Ding Jue, Cao Ze has completely refined the Nine-transformation Blood Soul Flower, and his cultivation has directly broken through to the first level of a major grandmaster. Through the panel, he has also converted 40% of the medicinal power that would normally be consumed during refining into love points.

There are more than 40 million points!

Next, he only needs to continue refining the Dharmakaya-level black jade. In less than half a month, he will be able to improve his cultivation to the second-level Grandmaster level again.

As expected of the treasure that made Wang Ning crazy, the power of the Nine-Turn Blood Soul Flower was terrifying!
This speed of improvement is already incredible for ordinary warriors, but for Cao Ze, it is still too slow.

It is estimated that the blood pool will be opened in a few months. He doesn't know how much improvement it will bring to him by then, but Cao Ze is still looking forward to it.

Only by entering the Dharmakaya realm can he truly gain a foothold in this world.

With this in mind, open the panel.

【Wu Fu:
Cultivation: First-level Grandmaster
Dan Ding Jue: Divine Blood Level 7462 (6000/2*)
Dao Seed (Snowfall Blade, Strike the Sea, Wind Shadow Step, Sky-Flipping Seal, Thunderbolt): Entry (784/1000 million)
Sea Covering Decision: Perfection
Love Points: 4381 million]

At this time, the panel had undergone significant changes again, but Cao Ze understood the key at a glance.

At this time, the third senior brother's wooden horse carriage finally arrived at the gate of Donghai County City.

"Please get off the car for a routine inspection!"

The carriage was stopped by soldiers at the city gate.

These soldiers are not idiots. Although they represent the City Lord's Mansion led by Xuanbao Pavilion, and ordinary people dare not provoke them, they are just ordinary soldiers after all. If they really provoke some powerful person, the Eight Great Families will push them out without hesitation.

The wooden carriage in front of them was obviously no ordinary character, so they stopped the carriage as part of their duty, but their tone was very polite.

With a whoosh, a token flew out of the carriage and landed steadily in the hands of the soldier who was blocking the road. After just one look, the soldier respectfully made way, lowered his head and presented the token with both hands, without any intention of conducting a routine inspection.

What Cao Ze showed was of course the token of Xuanbao Pavilion's direct disciple.

Although the eight major families in Donghai County are very powerful, in the final analysis, it is the City Lord's Mansion that represents the Daqian court, and the City Lord's Mansion has always been under the jurisdiction of Xuanbao Pavilion!
More than a year ago, Yuwen Badao, Luo Qingyun and others were ordered to go to Haijiao City to wipe out the Blood Demon Cult. They were following the order from the City Lord's Mansion, but to outsiders, it was the order from Xuanbao Pavilion.

The current city lord of Donghai County is the master of Xinghui Peak of Xuanbao Pavilion, a warrior in the Dharmakaya realm.

The status of a disciple directly taught by Xuanbao Pavilion is only second to that of the city lord. How dare the soldiers guarding the city be disrespectful, let alone checking it? This is no different from asking him to check the city lord's carriage.

Even if Cao Ze showed the token of the Eight Great Families, it was not as useful as the token of the direct disciple of Xuanbao Pavilion!
Of course, Cao Ze would not make things difficult for this diligent soldier. With a wave of his hand, the token flew back to the carriage. The carriage then clattered on the bluestone slabs again, passed through the long city gate, and entered the Donghai County City.

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding...

As soon as he entered the city gate, Cao Ze heard a fierce sound of swords clashing.

There were actually people fighting in the city?
Cao Ze curiously lifted the curtain of the car and looked in the direction of the sound, only to find that not far in front of the right side of the city gate, there stood a huge arena with a radius of ten feet.

At this moment, there were two middle-aged men fighting fiercely on the ring, brandishing swords and knives. They were trying to kill each other with every move. This didn't look like a sparring match, but more like a fight of life and death!

A life-and-death fight that won't stop until one of them dies!
And below the arena, in addition to a lot of onlookers, there were actually quite a few people queuing up. If Cao Ze couldn't see the scene on the arena, he would have mistaken it for some Internet celebrity store, or people were queuing up to buy tickets to a scenic spot.

This was the first time he had seen the scene that he was very familiar with on Blue Star after coming to this world for so long.

"It seems like this is your first time in Donghai County, young master. Do you need a guide?"

In just a moment, a thin middle-aged man with a pointed face and a moustache came up, stood by the carriage window, nodded and bowed, and asked carefully.

"Although I don't have much ability, I know this small piece of land in Donghai County like the back of my hand. Whether you want to find an inn, delicious food, or someone or something, you can find me!"

"Besides, I'm not expensive. I can take you on a tour of Donghai County for just one tael of silver!"

After saying that, he looked at Cao Ze cautiously, ready to run away at any time.

Although people in this line of work can earn good income, good eyesight is very important. Even so, there will always be a day when they make mistakes. If they deal with a customer with a bad temper, they might lose their life.

One tael of silver a day is indeed not expensive!

Cao Ze raised his hand and threw a piece of silver over. It happened that he really wanted to look for someone, so he needed a guide.

Of course, he also understood that this one or two taels of silver was just a small amount. Most of the income of this so-called guide probably came from the shops they visited.

But as long as it's not too excessive, it's not unacceptable.

"Where do you want to go, sir?"

The middle-aged man with a mustache took the silver and a smile broke out on his wrinkled face, like a blooming daisy. He immediately got into the mood because he was paid for his work.

"This arena is a feature of our Donghai County. It was specially built by the city lord."

There was no need for Cao Ze to ask any questions. The middle-aged man with a mustache started to introduce himself. To be a guide at his age, he must have good eyesight. Of course, he is still a guide at this age...

"My lord, you must know that Donghai County is a mixed bag, with many martial arts masters.

The world of martial arts is all about human relationships and fighting. If enemies meet and fight on the spot in Donghai County, there will be no peace in Donghai County. Even if the City Lord's Mansion deploys more soldiers, they will not be able to handle it. Moreover, there are many masters among those martial arts people, and ordinary soldiers cannot handle them.

Therefore, the city lord built this grudge arena. Any warrior who enters Donghai County, no matter what grudges they have, can take action!
But it can only be resolved in this grudge arena.

Once they enter the grudge arena, they can fight as they please, regardless of life or death.

But if you fight outside the life and death arena, depending on the extent of the damage, you will be expelled from the city and will never be able to enter the county city again. You may even be killed directly. Even a great master would not dare to act rashly in the county city!"

The middle-aged man with a moustache said this with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Then why only build one arena?"

Yue Lingke looked at the arena not far away and asked curiously.

The middle-aged man with a moustache was very discerning and quickly retracted his gaze, not daring to look at Yue Lingke for too long. People in their line of work knew what they could and could not do. If he did not have this self-knowledge, he would not be alive today.

He answered quickly, "Of course there is more than one. There is a Grudge Arena at each of the four city gates of the county city.

Madam must be wondering why there aren't more grudge arenas built so these people don't have to queue up, right?"

As soon as the middle-aged man with a mustache opened his mouth, he couldn't hold back any longer. Fortunately, Cao Ze was willing to listen, so he naturally didn't stop him.

"Of course it's the city lord's foresight and wisdom!
People who practice martial arts are the most passionate. They may fight to the death over a few words. However, if this passion could be cooled down a little, many things would not have to reach this extent.

So, even though there are many people queuing here now, it would be good if 30% of them can actually make it to the ring in the end!"

The middle-aged man with a moustache had a smile on his face, and the smug look on his face became even more intense.

As soon as he finished speaking, a few people in the queue threw harsh words at each other and left angrily, as if they had come to confirm the words of the middle-aged man with a mustache.

Cao Ze's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became curious about the city lord.

Although he has been a member of Xuanbao Pavilion for quite some time, he has been concentrating on cultivation these days and does not know much about the deeds of the master of Xinghui Peak.

However, he still has to stay in Donghai County for quite some time, so he doesn't need to rush to meet the peak master.

"Take me to Luo's house!"

Retracting his gaze, Cao Ze said to the middle-aged man with a mustache.

"Luo family?"

However, the middle-aged man with a mustache did not leave immediately, but looked at Cao Ze with difficulty, "I wonder why you went to the Luo family?"

The Luo family is not a place you can just go to casually. If this young man has a grudge against the Luo family, or if this young man is ignorant of his own limitations, then the final outcome will probably not be very good.

Cao Ze naturally saw the concerns of the middle-aged man with a mustache, "I am a good friend of Luo Qingyun, the son of the Luo family."

The middle-aged man with a mustache smiled again, "Sir, you have found the right person!"

"If you want to find Master Luo Qingyun, why bother going to the Luo family? I can take you there right now!"

After saying this, the middle-aged man with a mustache came and sat on the shaft of the carriage, and drove the carriage skillfully, heading in one direction with ease.

Cao Ze was a little surprised. It seemed that this guide he had just found was actually quite good. (End of this chapter)
