Purple Mist Dao Master

Forced by circumstances!

Only then did Ding Xiang 'sell herself' to Yan Chuan, just to be closer to him.

Indeed!

After selling herself, when Yan Chuan taught and guided her through three Absolute Skills, the two spent more intimate time together. Yan Chuan took the initiative in teaching, and as the 'Mind Reading Technique' passively kicked in, Ding Xiang felt that not only did she grasp the three new Absolute Skills quickly, but her own strength made Rapid Progress. Her Qinggong movement technique improved repeatedly, almost on the verge of breaking through.

This was amazing!

But as she gradually mastered the "Falling Flowers Divine Sword Palm" and the other two Absolute Skills, Yan Chuan started showing signs of distancing himself from her again.

Ding Xiang was worried!

The opportunity came just like that!

If she could join Yan Chuan in the 'King City Competition', there would inevitably be more opportunities for them to be together in the future. She would be able to listen to more of Yan Chuan's guidance, and the 'Mind Reading Technique' could be better utilized.

This is good!

Very good!

Ding Xiang immediately declared to Yan Chuan: "City Lord, rest assured, my score is already close to 700 points. In two days, I will definitely reach 700 points!"

Hmm!

I must exceed Fu Yunzhan!

...

The news about the 'Annual Mo Yin Continent's Royal City Competition' was not hidden by Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi from Ding Xiang, Peng Fannian, and others because there was no need to.

These Heavenly Prides are currently working for Tan Valley Royal City. The stronger they become, the more useful they are to Yan Chuan as the Tan Valley Royal City Lord, which is beneficial.

Moreover.

For example, at this moment, Fu Yunzhan encountered setbacks in scoring, and Yan Chuan and others could have more alternatives.

After all, upon learning the news of the 'King City Competition', whether it was Ding Xiang, Situ Fei, Peng Fannian, Jing Bao, Ban Xianfu, Liu Xin (Chasing God Blade), Gongyang Yu (Binding Rope), Luo Qi (Ancient Sound of the Primordial World), Guo Xi (Golden Stick), Zhuge Zhen (Centipede Bee Bag), Cai Ru'an (Five-Colored Stone), Chi Gao (Water and Fire Blade), all of them showed interest. Each one was striving to score, hoping to catch this year's 'King City Competition', full of enthusiasm.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Prides gained a lot of Essence Stones at Lu Ti Mountain, plus Yan Chuan had more than sixteen thousand catties of Essence Stones, enabling them to withstand the initial 'run wave', keeping the 'Gathering Treasure Basin' always with more than ten thousand catties of Essence Stones, consistently earning one hundred catties of Essence Stone interest daily.

Peacefully passing more than half a month.

By October 18th, when the fourth phase of prizes, six thousand catties of Essence Stones, arrived, Yan Chuan's 'Essence Stone Shortage' was finally completely alleviated.

In a blink.

October 19th, the hour of Hai about to pass, Zi hour approaching, the 'King City Competition' was about to begin.

However —

Ding Xiang, 668!

Fu Yunzhan, 650!

Ding Xiang was confident!

Fu Yunzhan was motivated by shame!

But, as of now, neither of their Heavenly Ladder Points reached 700 points, unable to meet the minimum standard to participate in the 'King City Competition'.

"This is troublesome!"

Wang Zhengyi frowned.

He inquired about other people's Heavenly Ladder Points —

Ban Xianfu, 666;

Situ Fei, 612;

Lu Yuru, 615;

Peng Fannian, 663;

Jing Bao, 649;

...

The Seven Absolutes' Heavenly Ladder Points were basically all in the six hundreds, still a distance from seven hundred.

700 points!

A barrier!

Cang Mountain Sword Discussion declared Heavenly Pride was actually at a level of six hundred points in the Heavenly Ladder.

Including Yan Chuan!

Including Wang Zhengyi!

Including Wang Ge!

The three of them were able to reach 700 points, but their comprehensive strength was actually only in the six hundreds. The reason they could reach 700 —

Wang Ge relied on the 'Heavenly Ladder City', where he could fully unleash the "Seven Injuries Fist" and be several levels stronger than in reality.

Wang Zhengyi relied on outstanding 'endurance' and 'recovery power', while Yan Chuan relied on several Absolute Skills headed by "Wave Riding Micro Steps" to gain a significant advantage in the 'Thousand-Person Battle', making it easier to score.

Including Ma Hongniang, the same, with her Steel Bones, Vajra Unbreakable, unafraid of sneak attacks in the 'Thousand-Person Battle', not always surviving to the end but at least rarely ending up in defeat, in most matches being able to score basic points, of course raising her score quickly.

Four people with 700 points!

Each with their characteristics!

But among the Seven Absolutes besides them, only Wei Lingshan, this Witch, who was not short of money and constantly immersed in the Heavenly Ladder City, comprehended the fourth killing move in "Natural Skill" and further enhanced her power, reaching 700 points.

Among them, in reality, Wei Lingshan might have the strongest actual combat capability among the five with 700 points.

But Wei Lingshan was too rebellious, neither Yan Chuan, Wang Zhengyi, nor others wanted her on their team.

But for others —

Situ Fei perhaps had the potential for 700 points, but she was too laid-back, not actively striving for points, instead being the one with the lowest score among the Seven Absolutes.

Ban Xianfu and others were working hard, but their own strength was limited, their abilities at their limits, unable to progress further.

"This is awkward!"

...

"Shall we wait one more round for Yunzhan and Ding Xiang, or find Wei Lingshan to fill in?"

Wang Zhengyi and others waited for Yan Chuan to decide.

The first round of the ten-day tournament was approaching the registration deadline, less than an hour, and Yan Chuan had to make a quick decision.

"Wait for one more round!"

Yan Chuan did not want to be influenced by Wei Lingshan, and moreover, after one more round, whether it was Fu Yunzhan or Ding Xiang, both had the hope of reaching 700 points.

One more round only!

We can wait!

"Don't want me?"

"Let's see how long you can last!"

Wei Lingshan was also angry.

Though she asked Yan Chuan for Absolute Skills, after obtaining them and forming a team with Yan Chuan and others, her improved strength would also benefit the team, right?

Yan Chuan, for the sake of pride, refused her; this was too impulsive!

"Then let's wait and see!"

"Let's see Fu Yunzhan! Let's see Ding Xiang! How capable are they of reaching 700 points!"

Wei Lingshan sneered.

Sitting and waiting for a joke.

Do they really think 700 points is easy?

It's not that easy!

This is the "Earthly List" threshold, without a qualitative breakthrough, without enough time to train diligently in the Heavenly Ladder City, it's hard to achieve.

Wei Lingshan herself was at 700 points, knowing the hardship involved.

She was not in a hurry.

Sitting steadily on the fishing platform, just waiting for Yan Chuan to regret and come begging her.

...

Meanwhile on the other side.

Where Lu Yuru was during this time was unknown, rarely seen in the Tan Valley Royal City, Lu Ti Mountain, or the Heavenly Ladder City. She returned at this time and found Yan Chuan, mysteriously taking out a glass bottle: "This is the 'Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle', a Fourth-Rank exotic treasure, capable of absorbing Sun and Moon Essence, transforming into 'Essence Fire' and 'Jade Dew'. Among them, 'Sun Essence Pure Fire' can aid in Body Refining, 'Moonlight Jade Dew' can strengthen the Divine Soul, beneficial for Innate Grandmasters' Cultivation!"

Fourth-Rank exotic treasure!

Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle!

"What a treasure!"

Yan Chuan praised.

Any exotic treasure that aids in Cultivation is a good treasure. Where Lu Yuru managed to sneakily obtain such a Treasure was unknown, but seeing it made Yan Chuan a bit envious.

But what was she flaunting her treasure acquired before him for?

Yan Chuan was puzzled.

Lu Yuru didn't keep him guessing: "Compared to the benefits of the 'Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle' for my Cultivation, what I need more is extensive practice in the 'Three Heavenly Swords'. 'Heavenly Ladder City' perfectly satisfies this. But entering and exiting Heavenly Ladder City requires a lot of Essence Stones, and my purse is rather tight—"

Yan Chuan understood Lu Yuru's meaning: "Lu Fairy wants to exchange the 'Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle' for Essence Stones?"

This is easily arranged!

He possessed the Fifth-Rank 'Gathering Treasure Basin', with an abundance of Essence Stones!

Thousands upon thousands!

He could definitely exchange!

However —

"No!"

Lu Yuru rolled her eyes inwardly, who would trade a Fourth-Rank exotic treasure for Essence Stones?

It would be a one-time deal a fool would make!

She smiled sweetly at Yan Chuan: "I do not mind using this 'Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle' to exchange for the 'Gathering Treasure Basin', also a Fourth-Rank exotic treasure, from City Lord Yan. If City Lord Yan could also tailor an Absolute Skill for me, I would be truly grateful!"

Hmm!

'Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle' for 'Gathering Treasure Basin'!

Fourth-Rank for Fourth-Rank!

Mine is better!

So you need to add an Absolute Skill!

That was Lu Yuru's thought.

But —

"You must be crazy!"

Yan Chuan shot a hidden smile, looking at Lu Yuru's innocent appearance, and said, "The 'Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle' is indeed a precious treasure, but the 'Gathering Treasure Basin' is a family heirloom, unsuitable for exchange. If Lu Fairy needs Essence Stones, feel free to name a price, a few thousand, or tens of thousands of catties, we can surely negotiate a satisfactory deal for both of us."
