Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques

"The higher the progress in forging the Sacred Body, the greater the success rate of melting."

"Moreover, balance must be maintained. Ideally, the forging progress of the three Sacred Bodies should all reach 99%."

"If that happens, once I start melting, I might be able to use this opportunity to directly forge the Sacred Body and advance to Martial Saint!"

Lu Changsheng's eyes flashed with a sharp gleam.

The Five-colored Divine Light Sacred Body still lacked two crucial materials: Innate Five Elements Wood and Innate Five Elements Earth.

With these two materials, achieving 99% forging progress for the Sacred Body wouldn't be difficult.

As for the Mixed Cave Holy Body, it was clear that the Void Demon Pearl from before wasn't enough.

Two more Void Demon Pearls should be able to raise the forging progress of the Sacred Body to around 99%.

"Void Demon Pearl... temporarily a bit difficult."

"But Innate Five Elements Wood and Innate Five Elements Earth can be tried for and sought after."

Just as Lu Changsheng stood up, preparing to head to the Trading Hall in the Outer Mansion.

"Buzz."

Suddenly, the Communication Stone vibrated violently.

Lu Changsheng took out the Communication Stone to check.

"Brother Lu, the Li Commerce is facing trouble. If you have time, please return."

This was a message from Li Guang.

"The Li Commerce is in trouble?"

Lu Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

He was well aware of the strength of the Li Commerce.

With a Martial Saint overseeing it.

Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any trouble at all.

When trouble truly arises, it means the trouble is undoubtedly significant.

Thinking of the help Li Guang and the Li family had given him, Lu Changsheng made a resolution.

"Innate Five Elements Essence is not that easy to find anyway. Might as well return for now."

With that in mind, Lu Changsheng transformed into a streak of light, leaving the Cave Mansion and flying toward Heavenly Saint City.

The journey from Heavenly Saint City to the Martial Saint Mansion was no small feat.

It took a full three months.

The distance was extremely vast.

Even with Lu Changsheng flying at full speed, when he reached Heavenly Saint City, three months had still passed.

Lu Changsheng didn't even return to the Heavenly Sect in the Holy Land but headed directly to the Li family.

"Brother Li."

"Brother Lu, you've returned?"

Li Guang's expression lifted.

He hadn't expected Lu Changsheng to return so quickly.

After all, he knew how far the Martial Saint Mansion was from Heavenly Saint City.

"Brother Li, what exactly happened?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

Li Guang took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The Li Commerce is facing trouble."

"For so many years, the news of our ancestor's injuries has been kept hidden. But as decades passed without him appearing, certain forces began to grow suspicious."

"Thus, they started probing."

"For a Martial Saint force, if the Martial Saint is gone, you can imagine how hard it would be to maintain the strength."

"The probing force is the Black Light Chamber of Commerce in Sky Light City."

Lu Changsheng's heart stirred.

"Wait, the Black Light Chamber of Commerce?"

"Isn't that the same Black Light Chamber of Commerce that invaded the Ancient Domain last time?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"Yes, that's the one."

"Actually, the Black Light Chamber of Commerce's Martial Saint questioned the Li family last time but was blocked by our ancestor's response."

"Now, it seems that the Martial Saint from the Black Light Chamber of Commerce hasn't let it go. Instead, they're probing again, and each attempt is more excessive than the last, forcing our ancestor to appear or take action."

"The ancestor's injuries have never fully healed. Although he can act, once he does, his injuries will worsen dramatically, significantly shortening his lifespan. For our ancestor, unless absolutely necessary, he won't make a move."

"So, over time, the Black Light Chamber of Commerce has become increasingly aggressive, snatching a lot of the Li Commerce's business across the Holy Land, pushing toward the brink."

Li Guang spoke through gritted teeth.

Clearly, the Li Commerce's days had not been easy recently.

Lu Changsheng understood that this matter was tied to him.

Had he not leveraged the Li Commerce's strength to prevent the Black Light Chamber of Commerce from fully invading the Ancient Domain.

The Martial Saint from the Black Light Chamber of Commerce wouldn't have grown resentful towards the Li family's ancestor.

It would never have led to this situation now.

Strictly speaking, it was Lu Changsheng who drew the Li Commerce into peril.

"How exactly is the Black Light Chamber of Commerce threatening the Li Commerce?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"The Black Light Chamber of Commerce's methods are straightforward: they forcibly severed all of the Li Commerce's suppliers and business partners."

"They used sheer force. Our Li Commerce, unable to protect those business partners, naturally caused them to feel disillusioned, leaving no choice but to turn to the Black Light Chamber of Commerce."

Lu Changsheng understood.

This was outright brute force being deployed by the Black Light Chamber of Commerce.

In the Holy Land, the world operates on power."

"Even business deals are dictated by strength."

"If the Li Commerce can't protect their business partners, how could those partners continue doing business with them?"

Over time, the Li Commerce would collapse without resistance."

"The Black Light Chamber of Commerce Martial Saint wouldn't personally step in, would they? Has the Li Commerce considered retaliation?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"Our Li Commerce attempted to organize forces for retaliation."

"But at the level of Divine Power Martial Artists, we are indeed inferior to the Black Light Chamber of Commerce."

"And besides, the Martial Saint of the Black Light Chamber of Commerce has already declared that any Divine Power Martial Artist daring to retaliate would face direct suppression at their hands."

"As such, we can't even hire Divine Power Martial Artists."

"Now all we can do is shrink our operations, concentrating our business within Heavenly Saint City. But by doing this, our Li Commerce is as good as finished..."

Lu Changsheng understood.

If a business cannot even secure goods.

For example, if even Heavenly Spirit Water were unavailable.
