Wu Shattered Star River

With a massive supply of pills and mystical materials, Jiang Han's days became a frenzy.

He continuously secluded himself, first refining two bottles of Profound God Pills to completely stabilize his Profound Nether Treasury. These Profound God Pills were Xuan-grade pills, with effects dozens of times better than ordinary Profound God Pills.

Next, he began constructing his altar.

The Profound Nether Altar was different from the Violet Palace Altar, requiring the condensation of mystical materials.

Moreover, there would be relationships of mutual generation and mutual restraint between the two types of mystical materials, and some would not fuse.

Once the mystical materials did not fuse, the constructed altar would be unstable and easily collapse.

In addition, the first layer of the Profound Nether Altar required five types of mystical materials, the second layer required six, and the third layer required seven, constantly increasing.

This made cultivation increasingly difficult, with each mystical material having a different weight, requiring constant experimentation, calculation, and verification.

Under normal circumstances, when cultivating in the Profound Nether Realm, most warriors would first use a small amount of mystical materials to repeatedly experiment and deduce, finally obtaining accurate values before officially starting construction.

This often took several months!

Jiang Han couldn't wait, or rather, he was rich and powerful, so he forcefully pushed forward, starting construction without testing.

Mystical materials mutually restraining each other?

Then he would discard it and reconstruct.

Incorrect weight?

Continue to discard the altar and reconstruct.

Anyway, he had plenty of Profound God Pills and tens of thousands of portions of mystical materials. What he needed was cultivation speed, not saving mystical materials.

His cultivation wasted two to three times more mystical materials and pills than others, but he could save several months in time.

Half a month!

In just half a month, he successfully constructed the first layer of his altar, reaching the first level of the Profound Nether Realm.

After his parents disappeared, Jiang Han had always been poor. If he had suddenly obtained such a large sum of wealth in the past, he would definitely have been frugal.

But after the events in Jiang Family Town, he understood a principle—pills, mystical materials, and Xuan stones were all external possessions; one's own combat power was king.

Without combat power, one could not protect any amount of wealth; with strong combat power, wealth was readily available.

Therefore, even though this kind of cultivation was very wasteful, he did not hesitate at all.

Han Shiqi and Han Jinmao were like two swords suspended above his head, ready to strike down at any time. Jiang Han urgently needed strong combat power to protect himself and Jiang Li.

"Continue constructing the altar, and also, I can start cultivating the Aura Concealment Technique!"

After constructing the first layer of the altar, Jiang Han did not stop to rest. He only spent half a day with Jiang Li, gave her some Xuan Spirit Pills, and then secluded himself again.

This time, he planned to cultivate the Aura Concealment Technique. Once this Earth-grade Xuan skill was mastered, as long as he didn't go all out, even someone in the Reincarnation Realm wouldn't be able to sense his realm. It was a very good way to hide his cultivation.

… …

South City of Cloud Dream City, inside a luxurious courtyard.

"Are you saying that Jiang Han was in the Tianyuan Mountains, had Li Ling cut four pieces of rough stone, and the first piece yielded Xuan crystals? And the subsequent ones also yielded Xuan crystals?"

"After Jiang Han returned from the Tianyuan Mine, he immediately went to the Tianyun Gambling House in Dark City with Jiang Lang?"

"Then he came back and stayed for a day, and Jiang Lang went to Dark City alone? Afterwards, the two of them went to Dark City again, stayed inside for a few days, but no one discovered their whereabouts?"

Han Shiqi's expression became interesting as he listened to Steward Chen's report.

He carefully inquired about various details, and his complexion became increasingly ruddy, with joy in his eyes.

Seeing Han Shiqi's expression constantly changing, Steward Chen asked curiously, "Hall Master, is there a problem with this?"

"It's nothing!"

Han Shiqi waved his hand, telling Steward Chen to be patient.

He was already very suspicious in his heart, especially since Jiang Han was a child from the countryside, yet he went to the Tianyuan Mine to hunt Spirit Devouring Pythons? And he went to cut Xuan crystal Xuan stones? Two Xuan crystals were cut out of four pieces of rough stone, and after returning, he went straight to the Tianyun Gambling House!

All of this was too suspicious!

Jiang Han was a bumpkin who probably didn't have many Xuan stones on him, yet he went to gamble on stones? Later, Jiang Han and Jiang Lang went to Dark City for a few days, and the timing was perfect.

"It's them!"

After pondering for a while, Han Shiqi was already seventy to eighty percent certain in his heart.

"Never mind!"

A moment later, Han Shiqi made up his mind. Whether it was or not, he would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

Anyway, he had a deadly feud with Jiang Han, and he would kill him sooner or later. Jiang Lang was from Lingyun Dream, so killing him would also be a good thing.

He turned his gaze to Steward Chen and said, "Chen Zhong, find an excuse these few days, think of a way to send the Killing God Squad on a mission, let them go to the wilderness!"

He naturally couldn't mess around in Cloud Dream City, otherwise Lingyun Dream would go crazy.

So he had to transfer Jiang Han and Jiang Lang out and find a way to kill them outside, then these billions of Xuan stones would all be his.

After Chen Zhong returned, he issued several missions in the name of the Internal Affairs Hall. At the same time, these missions offered huge resource rewards, stating that only elite squads could execute them.

However…

A few days after the missions were issued, several elite squads came to accept the missions, but Chen Zhong refused them with various excuses. The Killing God Squad, on the other hand, did not make any moves.

Zuo Yiyi had been in seclusion recently, and the seventh layer of her altar was about to be completed, so she naturally had no intention of accepting any missions. Qi Bing rarely went out all year round and had an extremely cold personality. Niu Meng spent his days cultivating, dozing off, or eating, and never came to the Internal Affairs Hall.

Jiang Lang was elusive and roamed around all day. He probably knew that there were huge bounty missions, but since he had just gotten three hundred million Xuan stones, he certainly had no intention of accepting any missions.

Ten days later, Han Shiqi began to urge him. Chen Zhong had no choice but to issue two more missions with huge resource rewards.

At the same time, in the name of the Internal Affairs Hall, he requested the Killing God Squad to execute them.

The disciples of the Internal Affairs Hall went to find Zuo Yiyi, but she was in seclusion and refused to see them. Qi Bing came out once, but seeing that Zuo Yiyi and Jiang Han had been in seclusion recently, she politely refused.

Chen Zhong had no choice. The Killing God Squad was an elite squad, and they had the right not to accept daily missions.

Unless something major happened to Cloud Dream Pavilion, forcing them to go on a mission, there was no way to transfer them out.

Han Shiqi knew that continuing to frequently ask the Killing God Squad to move out would arouse the suspicion of Zuo Yiyi and Jiang Han, so he could only wait for an opportunity.

This wait lasted four months!

Including the previous month, Jiang Han had been in seclusion for a full five months. Today, he was forcibly called out.

"Something happened!"

After Jiang Han came out, the members of the Killing God Squad were all outside. Zuo Yiyi said with a serious expression, "A beast tide has appeared in the Dragonfall Mine. Fifth Elder has ordered the mobilization of five elite squads to clear out the demon beasts. Jiang Han, the Dragonfall Mine is very important to us and cannot be lost, so we can only interrupt your seclusion."

"Okay!"

Jiang Han nodded slightly, not minding. Cloud Dream Pavilion protected their siblings, and now that Cloud Dream Pavilion was in trouble, he naturally couldn't sit idly by.

"Huh?"

Zuo Yiyi glanced at Jiang Han, saying in surprise, "Jiang Han, have you cultivated the Aura Concealment Technique? Why can't I sense your realm? You've successfully constructed the first layer of your Profound Nether Altar, right?"

Qi Bing glanced over indifferently and found that she couldn't sense it either.

"Yeah, Brother Lang gave me the Aura Concealment Xuan skill."

Jiang Han shifted the blame to Jiang Lang, casually responding, "It's already been successfully constructed, thank you for your concern, Captain."

"That's good, prepare yourselves, we'll set off for Dragonfall Mountain tomorrow!"

Zuo Yiyi waved her hand, pulling Qi Bing aside to discuss the matter of clearing out the demon beasts.

Niu Meng returned to sit under the big tree, and Jiang Lang approached Jiang Han, saying, "Confess honestly, did you successfully construct the second layer of your altar?"

With five months of time and an inexhaustible supply of mystical materials and pills, Jiang Lang didn't believe that Jiang Han had only constructed one layer of his altar.

Jiang Han smiled faintly, whispering, "I've already constructed three layers of my altar."

"Damn…"

Jiang Lang's eyes widened suddenly, and he said angrily, "Are you human? You actually broke through to the third level of the Profound Nether Realm in five months? I've cultivated for so long, and I'm only at the fourth level of the Profound Nether Realm. You're almost catching up to me."

"Hehe!"

Jiang Han grinned, saying, "If you hadn't interrupted my seclusion, give me another half a month, and I probably would have successfully constructed the fourth layer of my altar."

"Monster!"

"Not human!"

"Beast!"
