Zhang Yan wanted to turn around and return to the hut to continue his cultivation, but he realized that there were still eight people left among the spectators. Zhang Yan said somewhat impatiently, "There's already no liveliness to watch here, what are you all still standing here for? "Let's go, do what you need to do."

The eight people looked at each other when they heard this. They seemed to have something to say, but they were both hesitant and wanted to say it, and in the end, the youngster in the middle who looked a little older let out a long breath, gathered their courage, and said somewhat guiltily: "Senior Brother, please return Cloud Spirit Grass to us. Of the nine Cloud Spirit Grass stalks, eight of them were taken from us just now."

Zhang Yan frowned, his eyes was sharp and stared straight at them, asking: "Do I look easy to bully?"

Hearing that, the eight of them shook their heads, they thought to themselves that if you even dared to beat up someone from the Qing Gang, how could you be someone that could be easily bullied?

"Then why didn't you go and find those three people who wanted your Cloud Spirit Grass? Where were you when I was fighting? You all still want to avoid offending the Qing Gang, and still want to return to your own Cloud Spirit Grass, how can there be such a good thing in the world? " Zhang Yan bellowed: It's those three who are snatching your Cloud Spirit Grass, if you want it, then go and ask them for it. My Cloud Spirit Grass was snatched from their hands, not yours, do you understand?

The eight of them were momentarily rendered speechless by Zhang Yan, as they stood there at a loss of what to do. The youth in the lead said: "But …"

"Scram!" Zhang Yan bellowed, and closed the door tightly.

Before they could even finish what they wanted to say, they were shocked by Zhang Yan's roar to the point of turning around and running away.

Zhang Yan muttered in dissatisfaction, he turned around and looked at the shocked Fatty, and asked: "Your Cloud Spirit Grass was also snatched away right?"

Fatty recovered from the shock just now and laughed out loud: "I didn't think that you'd be so powerful. When did you break through to the Innate Stage? Why didn't you tell me? You little rascal have even concealed this from me, it's truly too unkind. "

Zhang Yan scratched his head and laughed: "Let's not talk about that, your Cloud Spirit Grass was also snatched away right? This is for you to cultivate, "Zhang Yan said as he took out five Cloud Spirit Grass stalks and threw them to the Fatty.

Fatty immediately waved his hand and said: "This Cloud Spirit Grass is so precious, I just need to retrieve my stalk. This is something you took with all your might, I can't take so much," as he spoke, he also returned the four stalks of Cloud Spirit Grass back to Zhang Yan.

"What I'm giving you is for you. Why are we brothers so clear about each other?" If you don't take it, then you won't treat me as your brother, "said Zhang Yan as he handed Cloud Spirit Grass over to Fatty.

Fatty could only accept them helplessly, but he did not accept all of them. Instead, he took four of them and said: "The four are enough for me to cultivate to the Innate Stage realm, keep the rest for yourself. I want to go back and cultivate," not waiting for Zhang Yan to continue speaking, he turned around and returned to his own courtyard.

Seeing that the Fatty was determined to continue, Zhang Yan did not speak anymore, and turned back to return to his own room.

This was the first time he had felt the importance of strength. If not for the fact that his own strength was stronger than those three, the one who would be at a disadvantage today would be him.

After offending the Qing Gang, they will definitely not let him off the hook. At that time, they will definitely send people with higher strength to deal with him, and the sect will also not care about the fight between us outer sect disciples. Right now, they can only rely on his own strength.

Power, everything was power. As long as his strength increased, then all of this would be solved easily. Now, Zhang Yan urgently wanted to increase his strength.

Zhang Yan calmed his excitement and sat cross-legged on the bed. He took out a stalk of the and placed it in his hand, then began to circulate the change in Asura. Strands of pure Spirit Qi emitted from Cloud Spirit Grass's palm and were absorbed into Zhang Yan's body, through which he transformed all of the pure Spirit Qi into Spirit Energy and entered the Dantian through Zhang Yan's meridians.

There were no good or bad techniques, only the difference between the good and bad. There were Immortal Techniques, Emperor Techniques, Saint Level, Emperor Level, Heaven Level, Earth Stage s, and Mortal Stage s, the higher the level of the cultivation technique, the faster it could be converted. Although the [Green Wood Art] cultivated by the outer sect disciples of the Azure Essence Sect was a Earth Stage Art, it could only be converted to the third level, while Asura could absorb all the Spirit Qi in his body and turn them all into Spirit Energy. Zhang Yan had never even heard of such a terrifying cultivation technique.

In a short moment, the Cloud Spirit Grass in Zhang Yan's hands was completely absorbed, the spirit grass that was lingering around the Spirit Qi turned into withered grass. Zhang Yan threw away the Spirit Qi in his hand, and took out another Cloud Spirit Grass to continue cultivating, and Zhang Yan's cultivation continued to soar.

Zhang Yan's cultivation continued to increase crazily, all the way until it reached the peak of the fourth level of Innate Stage, before gradually slowing down. The four Spirit Energy cyclones rapidly rotated within Zhang Yan's Dantian, and the fifth cyclone slowly formed as well. However, Zhang Yan's cultivation fell into a bottleneck.

The formation of every single Spirit Energy cyclone was a bottleneck for martial practitioners, but due to Zhang Yan's accumulated experience over three years, it allowed him to quickly break through to the peak of the fourth stage of Innate Stage. This bottleneck, however, stopped the growth of Zhang Yan's cultivation, but Zhang Yan did not give up.

Zhang Yan controlled the Spirit Energy in his Dantian, compressing and condensing them into a cyclone. But this time, not only did he need twice the number of Spirit Energy, it was also extremely difficult for the Spirit Energy to form a cyclone. Adding to that, more than half of the Spirit Energy were absorbed by the Sea of Consciousness's spirit root, making Zhang Yan's cultivation very difficult.

Just when Zhang Yan finished absorbing the last stalk of Cloud Spirit Grass, Zhang Yan finally broke through the bottleneck of the fifth level, forming the fifth cyclone within his Dantian. Zhang Yan had also officially become an expert of the fifth level of the Innate Stage, and Zhang Yan was so tired from training that his entire body was drenched in sweat.

When Zhang Yan opened his eyes, he realized that it was already night outside. He stood in the courtyard pushing the Gate of Opening and looked at the bright moon in the sky and the stars in the sky, Zhang Yan was not sleepy at all.

"Since the moon is shining so bright, I might as well take a bath by the river, it's just nice to enjoy the cool," said as he made his way to the back mountain of Azure Essence Sect.

Zhang Yan knew that there was a river at the back of the mountain and there was a waterfall at the top of the river. Usually, the outer sect disciples trained by the river side and when they were tired, they would be able to take a bath as it was very convenient.

Zhang Yan originally thought that it was already late in the night and no one would be at the back of the mountain. He didn't expect that when he arrived at the back of the mountain, he would find a few children cultivating by the river.

Zhang Yan walked for a while and realized that there was no one around and that the river was very cool. Without even thinking about it, Zhang Yan jumped in without taking off his clothes, and just as he entered the water, a cool feeling instantly spread throughout his entire body, "Shuang".

After swimming for not too long, Zhang Yan realized that the water area in front of him had opened up slightly, and the flow of the river had slowed down as well.

Just as Zhang Yan was enjoying the scenery around him, he saw the surface of the water more than ten meters away from Zhang Yan undulate for a bit, the bright moon reflected in the water also jumped happily along with the waves of the water, following that, a beautiful figure appeared from the water. She was completely naked as she stood up and flung her hair behind her, a portion of the water droplets flowed out from her hair and splashed onto the surface of the water far away, while the other part slid down along her pure white and smooth skin, revealing her ample breasts and her slim waist that could be held tightly.

Since she was facing Zhang Yan directly, Zhang Yan coincidentally saw her completely. However, when Zhang Yan continued to look downwards, he could not see anything else. The river had reached her waist, and even covered the beautiful scenery underwater.

Zhang Yan could not help but secretly praise her in his heart: "What a beautiful woman, like the lotus blooming in the water, but it's a pity that the water is too deep."
