Chapter 308: Chapter 263: Breakthrough to the Lower Realm! Wolf Map Blood Burning Technique!_2
"My lord, the secret technique detected that the person is a Primordial Qi Warrior, and has reached the Primordial Qi Lake Realm."
"A Primordial Qi Warrior?!" Liu Bingmu suddenly stood up, "Are you saying...?"
"I am not certain, sir."
"Alright, keep watching Baili Xinghua, I will personally go to the Divine Mystery Bureau in Xirong County."
"Yes."
...
Xirong County, Divine Mystery Bureau.
"Please go back, everyone, this is the Divine Mystery Bureau."
Before Liu Bingmu and his group reached the Black Tower, a voice sounded in their ears.
Liu Bingmu halted, cupped his hands toward the Black Tower: "I am Liu Bingmu, Supervision Office Supervisor of the Regent’s Mansion, and I’m here to inquire about something from the Divine Envoy." fгeewebnovёl.com
"About what?"
"This afternoon, did any Divine Envoy from the Divine Mystery Bureau go out on a task?" Liu Bingmu stared at the Black Tower.
"..."
A brief silence.
"No." The voice sounded again in their ears.
"Alright, thank you, Divine Envoy." Liu Bingmu’s expression did not change; he cupped his hands and bowed, and then really turned around and left.
After walking several streets.
"My lord, weren’t we going to investigate the Divine Mystery Bureau?"
"Investigate? How? Would the Divine Mystery Bureau allow us to investigate?" Liu Bingmu’s face was not very pleasant, "Do you think the Divine Mystery Bureau is such a place?"
"My lord, it’s just a group of Primordial Qi Warriors, why do we..."
"There are some things that you shouldn’t ask!"
"..."
...
Inside the Black Tower, Divine Mystery Bureau.
Under the small bamboo grove.
"Qu Yaan." Bai You sat at the stone table, sipping bamboo tea, "Did you go out this afternoon?"
"Disciple..." Qu Yaan’s expression changed slightly, "Disciple went out."
"For what purpose? I remember there were no evil presences outside."
"For... for..." Qu Yaan’s heart thought turned, with a flick of his hand, he took out three egg-sized stones, "Disciple went to fetch Primordial Artifact Materials for junior brothers and sisters."
"Oh?" Bai You raised his profound gaze, looking at the Primordial Artifact Materials Qu Yaan handed over, his expression improved slightly, "You are considerate, a while ago, your junior brother Jin Yu also inexplicably asked me for a Primordial Artifact."
Upon hearing this, Qu Yaan respectfully presented the three materials, "I kindly ask Master to refine Primordial Artifacts for the juniors." freewēbnoveℓ.com
"Primordial Artifacts? There are no Primordial Artifacts."
Just then, three silhouettes descended from the upper part of the Black Tower.
Then...
"Primordial Artifact Materials! These are Primordial Artifact Materials!" Jin Yu was overjoyed, "Master, why did you take so long to bring them out?"
"Master."
"Master."
The other two disciples, Mo Ling’er and Ke Shang, were equally excited, but still bowed first.
"Ling’er, you have broken through?" Bai You laughed, looking at the only female.
The woman, dressed in an ink-colored long dress and veiled face, bowed again when Bai You inquired: "Reporting to Master, Ling’er has broken through to the Middle Stage of the Primordial Qi Liquid Realm."
"What about Ke Shang?"
"Disciple has also broken through to the Middle Stage of the Primordial Qi Liquid Realm."
"Not bad." Bai You nodded in satisfaction.
"Master, this disciple has also broken through." Jin Yu chimed in.
"Very well, since that’s the case, I will personally take action to use the materials found by your Senior Brother to refine Primordial Artifacts."
Bai You stood up, sweeping his gaze over the four disciples, finally resting on Qu Yaan: "Qu Yaan, I will be refining artifacts for a few days, do not slack on the Primordial Qi transmission from the Black Tower."
"Master, please go and refine the artifacts, when has Senior Brother ever disappointed you." Jin Yu was eager.
"..."
...
Below the Black Tower.
A mass of colorful cloud-like object floated mid-air, surrounded by strands of Primordial Qi Ring like it was being pulled by gravity.
Qu Yaan sat cross-legged in front of the floating cloud-like object, extending his emotionless hands, continuous streams of Primordial Qi emitted from his fingertips.
The Primordial Qi intertwined with the external Primordial Qi, gradually absorbed by the cloud-like object.
Approximately half a quarter of an hour later.
Qu Yaan placed his hands on his knees, a flash of brilliance in his eyes.
"Almost, almost." He whispered softly to the cloud-like object: "It won’t be long before I can seize the fortune of one of the Great Qin Thirteen Prefectures, break through the Primordial Qi Lake, and Condense the Primordial Qi Seed..."
"Then kill that old thing, take over Xirong County..."
"..."
...
Xirong County, Baili Mansion.
Baili Xinghua sat with an ominous look on his face in the room, in front of him were volumes of documents awaiting approval.
He anxiously flipped through the documents, initially able to continue approving, but soon became increasingly restless, eventually tearing at the documents in frustration.
Until finally.
Boom!
Baili Xinghua crazily swept all the documents off the desk, then kicked the desk in near madness.
"Huff... huff..."
He collapsed on the ground, taking deep breaths.
"Why? Why?"
"An illegitimate son! An illegitimate son abandoned by the family!"
"Why? Why?!"
"I, Baili Xinghua, am the first talent. I, Baili Xinghua, should be the one to enter Qin Capital...!"
"Why do you keep targeting me? Why?!"
He seemed possessed, self-muttering with bloodshot eyes.
"A super-strong one taking over the body? Mysterious expert protection?!"
"Hahaha..."
Baili Xinghua suddenly burst into insane laughter.
"So what if they’re super strong..."
Outside the house, in the shadows.
The Inspector from the Regent’s Mansion, Hu Han, monitoring Baili Xinghua, observed every movement inside with a frown.
"Baili Xinghua, has gone mad?"
Inside the house.
Amidst the crazy laughter, Baili Xinghua staggered up, ran into an inner room, staring at the inner wall.
"I can’t swallow this resentment, I can’t swallow it!"
Baili Xinghua extended his right hand, pressing the edge of the wall.
Crack...
There was a sound of machinery turning, followed by a secret compartment appearing in the center of the wall, containing a small jade box.
The once frenzied Baili Xinghua instantly calmed down upon seeing the jade box, a sinisterly terrifying smile crossing his face.
Click——
He lightly pressed the jade box, unlocking the jade lock, inside lay a quiet black round bead.
It was a thumb-sized round bead, pitch-black like an abyss.
Baili Xinghua looked at the black bead, a mix of hesitation and fear in his ominous eyes.
He stared at the black bead for a solid half quarter of an hour, then as if reaching a difficult decision.
