"Phew …" Inhale, exhale... "Inhale..."

In a small room around 10 square feet, Ling Yan was completely wrapped in gold light. He closed his eyes and sat on the bed, breathing evenly and powerfully. In his right hand he held a blue true essence stone.

The room was very quiet, and one could even hear the faint sound of Ling Yan's strong heartbeat.

After a long while, Ling Yan opened his eyes, and spat out a mouthful of impure Qi, his eyes shining brightly.

The peak of the 1st level of the Mortal Realm, stabilized!

Moreover, under the guidance of the Human Stage Mid Rank Movement Technique – Lightning Steps and the Human Stage Mid Rank Martial Skill – Lightning Finger, under the guidance of the jade chip training experience, Ling Yan was able to grasp it.

Ling Yan calculated the time, there was still half a month before the Ranking Tournament of the New Thousand Military Arrays, and the fight with Pang would begin in three days. Ling Yan calculated the time, there was still half a month until the Ranking Tournament of the New Thousand Military Arrays, and the fight with Pang would begin in three days.

Now that he was at the peak of the first level of the Mortal Body Refinement Stage, if he wanted to break through, he would need a body refining pill — a body refining pill.

The Body Refinement Pellet could help a Mortal Stage Level 1 Body Refinement Cultivator break through. Its value, uh, was three thousand silvers.

Thinking of this, Ling Yan's smile faded. Yes, he remembered that he seemed to have no money.

The top-grade elementary true essence talismans that he had previously placed on the Symbol Master Guild's exchange hadn't been sold yet.

Even if he sold it, he would still not have enough money.

What should he do?

Ling Yan blinked his eyes. Could it be that he wanted to sell some true essence stones?

Thinking of this, Ling Yan quickly rejected this idea. True essence stones were scarce resources, the Crimson Nimbus Martial School's total quantity was limited, and the results of cultivation were much better than that of ordinary Soul Gathering Talismans and Soul Gathering Pills.

That would be awkward, then where would he get the money?

Hm? That's right!

Ling Yan's eyebrows suddenly jumped. Wasn't today the start of the underground beast arena?! Exactly one month had passed since the last activation!

Heh, what a coincidence. Ling Yan relaxed and the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile.

As Ling Yan thought of this, he took out a sound transmitting talisman and tossed it out.

Not long after, a flame suddenly lit up in front of Ling Yan, and soon after, Pu Dong's voice entered Ling Yan's ears. Ling Yan smiled, immediately tidying up his clothing, and pushed open the door to the South Pine Slaughterer.

Pudong said he was on his way home and told him to wait for him at the South Side slaughterhouse.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Ling Yan arrived at the entrance of the South Pine Slaughterer. He could smell the scent of blood and body odour of the vicious beasts from far away.

The dozen burly men had just finished their round of work and were resting under a great banyan tree. When they saw the person, they immediately cried out in alarm.

"Isn't this little brother Ling? Long time no see, his body has become much stronger …"

"I heard that little brother Ling has entered the Crimson Nimbus Martial School. Oh my god, he's too amazing …"

"Hehe, little brother Ling, don't tell me you're here today to find a job again …"

"…"

The group of muscular men teased Ling Yan familiarly, and Ling Yan was not angry, smiling as he responded to them one by one.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out. All of the men's voices immediately quieted down. Ling Yan turned around and saw that it was the manager of this place, Pu Renjie.

"Hello, uncle." Ling Yan bowed towards Pope.

"Hehe, little fellow, you're really not bad at all. You really make others look at you in a new light!" Pu Renjie glanced at Ling Yan in astonishment. As he felt Ling Yan's blood vitality surge several times over than before, he sighed in admiration.

He originally thought that Ling Yan would definitely be eliminated by the Crimson Nimbus Martial School, but who would have thought that he would be able to enter the Crimson Nimbus Martial School with the result of first place among the freshmen?

However, it was a pity for his son. Thankfully, that person had also been wiped out by Ling Yan.

"Thank you, Ling Yan."

"You're welcome, Uncle." Ling Yan knew that it was because he had taught Pu Renjie a lesson for bullying Pu Dong's people that Pu Renjie was able to express his gratitude. Thus, he waved his hand and said.

"Hehe, you must be looking for Dong Zi. He will be back soon." It seemed that the relationship between Ling Yan and his son wasn't that bad. Ling Yan would definitely be valued highly by the Elders at Crimson Nimbus Guild if he became the top student among the new students. His achievements in the future should not be underestimated.

In this way, it wasn't a bad thing for Pu Dong and Ling Yan to interact more. If they were lucky, then when the time came, his master and third prince could use this relationship to further contact Ling Yan …

Not long after, a series of running sounds could be heard from outside the slaughterhouse. Ling Yan's heart stirred and he faintly smiled. That fellow had arrived.
