Tower of Origin: I Evolve All Rewards

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Mo Cangyan

Mo Cangyan did not enter Heavenly Gate City immediately.

He stayed in an abandoned manor outside the western hills, where Blood Sun’s outer branch had prepared a hidden base. Unlike Xue Rong, whose methods relied on probes, hooks, and manipulation, Mo Cangyan belonged to a deeper line.

He studied patterns.

For three days, he read every report on Qin Yuheng. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Failed awakening.

Talent Fruit.

Rapid floor progression.

SSS evaluations.

Reward conversion pattern.

Family resource strengthening.

Qin Zhengyuan wound recovery.

Class: Tri-Gate Thunder War Commander.

Blood-law severing ability.

Anti-contract, anti-vow, anti-memory, anti-burden, anti-authority protections.

Repeated transformation of floor rewards into systemic family tools.

Mo Cangyan placed the reports down.

"Xue Rong."

"Yes."

"You tried to catch him as if he were a talented young climber."

Xue Rong lowered his head.

"He is more than that."

"Yes," Mo Cangyan said. "He is a growth engine."

The phrase made the room colder.

Mo Cangyan continued.

"Killing him wastes value. Capturing him directly fails. Corrupting him fails. Pressuring his pride fails. Pressuring responsibility now likely fails. So we do not target him first."

Xue Rong listened carefully.

"We target the environment he must eventually enter."

"The Youth Exchange Assembly?"

Mo Cangyan smiled faintly. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"That is one environment. The other is truth."

He tapped the Crimson Eclipse report.

"Qin Zhengyuan’s anchor is awakening through treatment. Qin Yuheng will seek knowledge. Give him knowledge. True knowledge. Incomplete knowledge. Knowledge that opens the next door."

Xue Rong understood.

A lie could be detected.

A truth could lure deeper.

At the Qin Estate, Qin Yuheng continued floor progression.

Floor 32 was Glass Lotus Marsh, combining reflection water and poison flowers. Their previous poison and reflection protections made it manageable, though not easy.

The main mission required harvesting Glass Lotus Seeds while avoiding mirror-poison illusions.

A hidden boss, the Mirror Venom Lotus Queen, attempted to create false copies of Qin Xue’er calling for help.

Qin Yuheng ignored the lure, used the True Soul Guiding Lantern, and led the team to destroy the root core.

SSS evaluation.

Rewards included Glass Lotus Seed, Mirror Venom Pearl, Poison Reflection Cloak, and Lotus Clarity Water.

After evolution, the SSS Grade Glass Lotus Clarity Water became useful for distinguishing poison-corruption illusions from real symptoms.

This helped Qin Zhengyuan’s anchor mapping.

The preliminary map improved:

[Crimson Eclipse Anchor Map — Update]

Blood-Sun Corrosion Layer: clearer.

Seal Suppression Layer: stable.

Marrow/Bone Residue: partially mapped.

Spirit Nightmare Loop: reduced.

Command-Blood Dormant Thread: active only under battle-command resonance.

Unknown Moon Counterweight Trace: still unclear.

The command-blood dormant thread concerned Gu Tianhe.

"If your father’s bloodline command aspect is tied into the anchor, battlefield pressure may awaken it."

Qin Zhengyuan nodded.

"That may be why my wound worsened after certain battles."

Mu Qinglan remained silent.

Qin Yuheng noticed again.

The unknown moon trace.

Still hidden.

Floor 33 followed.

White Flame Orchard.

A resource floor filled with white fire trees and flame spirits. The mission required collecting White Flame Fruits without burning the orchard root.

The floor tested restraint.

Qin Yuheng’s thunder could destroy flame spirits easily, but too much force would ignite the orchard. Qin Yuchen controlled enemies, Qin Lian harvested, Qin Mo built heat diversion arrays, and Qin Yuheng used precise strikes.

Hidden objective: save the orchard root from a black flame parasite.

SSS evaluation.

Rewards included White Flame Fruit, Orchard Flame Core, Black Flame Residue, and Fire Purification Bark.

After evolution, White Flame Fruit became SSS Grade Pure Sunless White Flame Fruit, useful for burning corruption without feeding Blood Sun resonance.

This was important.

Blood Sun corruption could absorb ordinary sun/fire energy. White flame without sun authority might cleanse safer.

Qin Zhengyuan’s treatment did not use it yet, but the map marked it as a possible tool.

Meanwhile, Mo Cangyan sent the first controlled leak.

A fragment of an old archive appeared in a neutral black market channel.

Lin Xian’er intercepted word of it.

She brought it to Qin Yuheng.

"Someone is selling a record fragment mentioning Crimson Eclipse Anchor Stabilization."

Qin Yuheng’s expression became calm.

"Too convenient."

"Yes."

"True?"

"Probably partly."

"Price?"

"Not money. Trade only. They want Moonbone Purification Crystal or equivalent."

Qin Yuheng smiled coldly.

"They know what we have."

Lin Xian’er nodded.

"Which means the seller is not random."

Qin Yuheng did not buy it.

Instead, he informed Yu Qingmei and Qin Wanshan.

Mo Cangyan received the news that Qin Yuheng refused the bait.

He did not look disappointed.

"Good," he said.

Xue Rong frowned.

"Good?"

"A cautious man who refuses the first truth will value the second more."

Mo Cangyan tapped the table.

"Prepare the second leak. Make it cost less."

The game had become slower.

And more dangerous.
