Translator: 549690339

After preparing a batch of top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid this morning, Yang Xiaotian got to Hundred Swords Plaza much later than usual. By the time he arrived, the teachers and students there had been eagerly waiting for quite a while.

Seeing Yang Xiaotian’s arrival, everyone’s spirits were instantly lifted.

“Divine Yang is here!”

Someone shouted excitedly.

With Divine Yang’s arrival, the crowd’s excitement surged again as soon as it had calmed.

The excitement and fervor of the crowd made Yang Xiaotian blush.

Feeling the warmth of the crowd’s enthusiasm, Yang Xiaotian nodded and smiled.

“Divine Yang, we love you!” shouted many of the female students at the school.

“Divine Yang, we love you too!” numerous male students echoed.

Yang Xiaotian felt goosebumps all over his body.

Arriving in front of the fifty-sixth Stone Sword, he tuned out the noise from the outside world and immersed himself in the world of swords.

Just like yesterday, after contemplating only five Stone Swords, Yang Xiaotian stopped.

Since he had arrived late, the sky had already turned dark, after he finished contemplating the fifth Stone Sword.

Yang Xiaotian looked at the completely darkened sky and lamented the lack of time once again.

However, once he had comprehended a hundred Stone Swords, time wouldn’t be as tight.

Then, he would have more time for alchemy, artifact refining, studying cultivation techniques, and reading various books.

After returning to his residence, Yang Xiaotian refined two more top-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pills before beginning his practice of the Primordial Dragon Art.

With diligent practice in recent days, his strength had increased significantly, having already broken through to the middle phase of the Innate Sixth Layer.

Also, before each practice session of the Primordial Dragon Art, he would invariably swallow a mouthful of Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water.

With the continuous cleansing marrow washing tendons by the Tribulation Thunder Water, Yang Xiaotian’s strength and defense were constantly strengthened, even the flexibility of his body was continuously enhanced.

The next day, Yang Xiaotian prepared another batch of top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid for the slaves he had bought the day before yesterday to consume and cultivate with.

Following that, Yang Xiaotian carried on as usual, going to Hundred Swords Plaza to comprehend the Stone Swords.

The next few days went on in the same manner.

He contemplated five Stone Swords each day.

After contemplating the Stone Swords, he would return home to refine spirit pills and practice the Primordial Dragon Art.

After several days, he finally reached the eightieth Stone Sword.

Having comprehended through the eightieth Stone Sword, Yang Xiaotian felt somewhat relieved in his heart.

Only twenty Stone Swords remained.

Although the Stone Swords became more challenging to comprehend as he progressed, Yang Xiaotian was confident he could finish contemplating the remaining twenty within five days.

Five days!

By then, he would be the Master of the Sword Hall.

He would obtain the inheritance of the Sword Hall and tame the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame!

However, when he returned to his residence after comprehending the eightieth Stone Sword, Ate and Ali came to him with grievances, saying that when they wanted to merge and open up their two residences, they faced obstruction from the city’s building authority.

“Obstructing?” Yang Xiaotian was surprised. “Is there anything wrong with the paperwork?”

“Our paperwork is completely legal,” said Ate. “But they just keep saying that breaking through the houses will cause disturbances and street litter, and basically, they use all kinds of excuses to prevent us from proceeding with the construction.”

Yang Xiaotian’s expression darkened.

It was clear that these people were just looking for various reasons to demand money.

“Next time they come, give them a hundred gold,” Yang Xiaotian instructed. Ate and Ali agreed.

Afterward, Yang Xiaotian gathered all the slaves and checked on their cultivation progress.

With the support of his excellent Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, all the slaves had broken through to the Innate level.

Therefore, excluding Ate, Ali, and others, he already had ninety Innate Realm followers.

Although ninety Innate Realm fighters might not be a lot, they still represent a considerable force.

One must know that Black Wind Stronghold in Xingyue City only had fourteen Innate Realm fighters.

Then, Yang Xiaotian grouped these slaves into teams of ten and selected nine individuals to be team leaders, all of whom would be under the supervision of Ate and Ali.

With this arrangement, it would be easier for Ate and Ali to manage the slaves, and furthermore, both could devote more time to cultivate in the future.

At the same time, Yang Xiaotian asked Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and others to spare time to provide more guidance on cultivation to Ate and Ali whenever possible.

Although Ate and Ali carry the bloodline of the Golden Divine Clan, their foundation was far too weak.

That night,

Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, swallowed the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, and began to practice the Primordial Dragon Art.

Perhaps due to the effects of the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, the Black Tortoise Martial Soul and Black Snake Martial Spirit had undergone rapid transformations recently. The Black Tortoise Martial Soul not only grew larger but its shell also developed more intricate and mysterious patterns.

The Black Snake Martial Spirit, too, had grown significantly larger, with two horns sprouting from its forehead and four limbs emerging from its abdomen. Observing the changes in the Black Snake Martial Spirit, Yang Xiaotian felt a surge of excitement.

From now on, the Black Snake Martial Spirit should no longer be called that but rather the Black Dragon Martial Spirit.

Moreover, Yang Xiaotian discovered that his Black Dragon Martial Spirit had mysterious patterns on its black dragon scales, which were not the same as those of ordinary black dragons.

This made Yang Xiaotian even more convinced that his Black Dragon Martial Spirit was not an ordinary one.

“But what species of black dragon is it?” Yang Xiaotian pondered.

When he had time in the future, he would need to take the time to visit the Book Pavilion again to check the records and see how many types of black dragons there were in the world.

The next day, Yang Xiaotian went to Hundred Swords Plaza to begin comprehending the eighty-first Stone Sword.

Lin Yong and Chen Yuan looked on as Yang Xiaotian approached, feeling tense yet excited and thrilled.

In these past days, like the teachers and students of the academy, they made it a point to come every day.

After comprehending four Stone Swords, Yang Xiaotian saw that it was dusk and left Hundred Swords Plaza. However, upon returning home, Ate and Ali came to complain again, saying that after giving the money, the people from the urban development office were still obstructing them, demanding one hundred gold per person for all seven of them.

“One hundred gold per person?” Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian’s face darkened.

Normally, these people’s monthly salary was only a few gold.

To think that one hundred gold was considered too little.

They were asking for seven hundred gold just like that.

They really had the gall.

Seven hundred gold could buy a smaller house in some small cities.

“Give it to them!” Yang Xiaotian suppressed his anger and said to Ate and Ali.

Recently he needed to comprehend Stone Swords and perform alchemy, so he truly had no time to deal with these things.

Moreover, seven hundred gold was not really a lot for him at the moment.

That night, Yang Xiaotian started alchemy and resumed the cultivation of the Primordial Dragon Art.

The following day, he continued to comprehend the eighty-fifth Stone Sword.

However, when he finished comprehending four Stone Swords and returned, Ate and Ali told him that the urban development office had taken the money but still refused to let them start construction.

They said there were twenty-one people in the urban development office in total.

Each had to receive one hundred gold to agree.

Furthermore, their boss needed to be paid one thousand gold.

“One hundred gold each? A thousand gold for their boss?” Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian instantly flew into a rage.

With twenty-one people, that would be two thousand one hundred gold, and adding the one thousand for the head of the urban development office, that would be three thousand one hundred gold!

Did these urban development officials really think he was to be trifled with?

“What is the name of the head of the urban development office?” Yang Xiaotian asked coldly.

“His name is Lin Chang,” Ate hurriedly said. “However, he is the younger brother of Lin Yang, the Steward of City Lord’s Mansion in Divine Sword City.”

“Lin Yang, the Steward of Divine Sword City Lord’s Mansion’s younger brother?” Yang Xiaotian said coldly, “Is he his real younger brother?”

“Yes, his real younger brother!”
