"Sir Alliance Leader, why aren't you pursuing them?"

"The Bizarre Alliance's massacre at Eastern Forest Market City and their slaughter of our cultivators are crimes too numerous to record."

Two Western Bizarre-Suppressing Alliance Elders approached Wang Fugui, urging him to take action.

The Bizarre Alliance couldn't stand in the light and had always been suppressed by the Western Bizarre-Suppressing Alliance. Over the centuries, countless Bizarre Alliance strongholds had been annihilated.

The Bizarre Alliance had never attacked the Western Bizarre-Suppressing Alliance before, always hiding like rats, daring not to show their faces.

Until today, everything had changed.

If not for the Western Bizarre-Suppressing Alliance being well-prepared and having strong protective Formations, it might have indeed been breached by the Bizarre Alliance.

They were continuously driven back by the Bizarre Alliance; the cultivators had a belly full of anger. Now, finally having the chance to counterattack, they were determined to make the Bizarre Alliance pay a blood price for their blood debt.

Not a soul could stand against a Late-Stage Divine Transformation Cultivator!

"Repair the Formations! Ensure there are no issues with the Demon-Sealing Tower!"

"The Demon-Sealing Tower must not be compromised; I don't want any errors to occur in the Western Bizarre-Suppressing Alliance after I leave."

"Let them live a few more days. This account will have to be settled sooner or later."

The mention of the Demon-Sealing Tower sobered up the upper echelons of the Western Bizarre-Suppressing Alliance.

The Bizarre Alliance's revenge on the Western Bizarre-Suppressing Alliance was secondary; the true key was the destruction of the Demon-Sealing Tower.

If they were to kill the Bizarre Alliance Cultivators, falling for the enemy's stratagem of luring the tiger away from the mountain, and all the sealed Bizarre Demons were stolen, it would be a disaster.

"We will repair the Formations immediately!"

The Western Bizarre-Suppressing Alliance became busy, fixing the Formations and preparing for the possible return of the Bizarre Alliance Cultivators.

The worst had not happened; the Bizarre Alliance, wary of the Divine Transformation Cultivators, dared not commit further offenses.

Should he take advantage of Wang Fugui's favor to ask for some benefits?

Jia Ren shook his head, dispelling the thought. Wang Fugui had been generous to him; if he wanted treasures, he could just ask, as there was no need for such actions. Moreover, he believed that having helped the Western Bizarre-Suppressing Alliance so significantly, Wang Fugui would surely not be stingy.

Jia Ren found a place to hide, staying out of the limelight to retain a low profile.

Here they come!

Later that day, a streak of golden light flew toward them at astonishing speed. One moment it was still within the range of his spiritual sense, and in just a few breaths' time, it arrived at Eastern Forest Market City.

"Who comes there? The Alliance Hierarch? How is that possible?!"

Upon seeing Wang Fugui, the Seventh Elder was stunned for a moment and then braced himself as if facing a great enemy. The Alliance Hierarch is still guarding the Demon-Sealing Tower; who could this new arrival be?! This person is incredibly audacious, daring to impersonate a Divine Transformation Cultivator?!

"Seize this impostor!"

The Western Bizarre-Suppressing Alliance cultivators made their move to capture the real Alliance Hierarch...

The scene was akin to a car crash site, with Wang Fugui easily suppressing them. Only then did they realize that the person before them was indeed the real Alliance Hierarch.

Then... who was the one who took action earlier?

Jia Ren found a courtyard to settle in the market, with his Insect External Incarnation outside, while his true self returned to the Mountain and Sea Pearl to cultivate.

Before long, Wang Fugui arrived at the courtyard.

"You have my gratitude for stepping in to rescue the Western Bizarre-Suppressing Alliance."

"The Western Bizarre-Suppressing Alliance still has spies; they realized someone was impersonating me."

"You have spoiled the Bizarre Alliance's plan; take care in your actions from now on."

"Is there any treasure you desire? Feel free to speak up."

Jia Ren had always wanted treasures to guard his mind and was planning to exchange for them from the Western Bizarre-Suppressing Alliance.

He did not hold back, saying, "I wish to have treasures that guard the mind and resist memory probing—Secret Techniques, Divine Skills. The more such Magical Treasures, the better."

Treasures that guard the mind? Wang Fugui thought. Without asking for Jia Ren's purpose, he smiled and said, "That won't be difficult. Just wait for my word." He had agreed to this matter; Divine Skills and Secret Techniques would not be few.

After Wang Fugui left, he returned in less than half an hour.

"The Divine Skill is called Ancient Well Without Waves! It specifically counters Telepathy, mind-reading, and soul-searching methods, making them unable to probe; internal demons struggle to arise, and external demons are hard to find."

"The Secret Technique Ice Heart Curse, a unique mind-guarding method, makes the mind as firm as ice, freezing invasive mental powers, especially effective against possession and soul searching."

"The Secret Technique Guarding Heart Mantra is a method to protect the mind from Heart Demons and external evil spirits and is particularly effective against them."

"..."

The Western Bizarre-Suppressing Alliance had collected countless Cultivation Techniques and Secret Techniques over the years, as well as the treasures of Divine Transformation Cultivators, far beyond what a normal Sect could compare. Jia Ren, who hadn't even possessed one Secret Technique or Divine Skill to protect his mind, was astonished as Wang Fugui effortlessly produced five or six varieties.

Following the Secret Techniques and Divine Skills came rare treasures for defending the mind.

"The Ancient Treasure Substitute Heart Jade allows you to place a strand of your Divine Soul within. All mental attacks aimed at you will fall upon the Substitute Heart Jade, shielding you from mental assaults."

"The Magical Treasure Spiritual Heart Jade Pendant makes it difficult for mind-reading and Divine Soul techniques to lock onto you."

"..."

More than a dozen different Magical Treasures and Magic Artifacts were laid before him, each with different effects.

They were incredibly rare. If I were to search for them myself, I have no idea how long it would take to gather them all, Jia Ren thought.

"Many thanks, Wang Daoyou."

The Divine Skills, Secret Techniques, and Magical Treasures were excellent, as were the various other items for protecting the mind. Dealing with mind-reading and Telepathy should no longer be a problem. He planned to use these as a foundation to create a growing treasure for protecting his mind, which could be used in the future to deal with High-Order Cultivators of the Mysterious Realm.

Wang Fugui did not linger any longer and pursued in the direction the Bizarre Alliance had departed.

The Bizarre Alliance had almost destroyed the Western Bizarre-Suppressing Alliance and released the sealed Bizarre Demons. If such a thing were to happen, it would be the biggest dereliction of duty. The Bizarre Alliance dared to bully them, and Wang Fugui would not tolerate them; he was sure to enact a bloody massacre.

The Insect External Incarnation watched Wang Fugui leave, then stored the treasures he had just acquired and entered the Mountain and Sea Pearl to refine elixirs.

「Half a year later」

The doors to the Alchemy Room swung open, and the rich fragrance of elixirs permeated the air. As the cover of the Alchemy Furnace lifted, three Break Infant Pills, each marked with nine Dao Elixir Patterns, drew attention.

The arduous refinement work in Lingyuan City had not been in vain; the proficiency level of the Break Infant Pill had increased, resulting in elixirs of extremely high quality. Break Infant Pills with nine Dao Elixir Patterns could increase the success rate of forming a Nascent Soul by seventy percent and were considered rare treasures in the world. Any single one that became available could drive people to insanity.

The Xuanling Cha Infant Secret Array increased the success rate by twenty to thirty percent. When combined with the Break Infant Pill, the two together could deliver a ninety-five percent chance of successful Nascent Soul formation. Unless something unforeseen happened, advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage was practically guaranteed. A ninety-five percent success rate for Nascent Soul formation was astonishing. Even the descendants of powerful figures in the Mysterious Realm rarely achieved such high rates of success. With two such treasures in hand, cultivators would definitely make a confident push for breakthrough.

Ninety-five percent and one hundred percent were not the same; there was still a possibility of failure. Others might accept this, but Jia Ren was not content. He still had the chance to achieve perfection and did not want to fail his Nascent Soul formation due to carelessness.

"Again!"

A second set of ingredients was tossed into the Alchemy Furnace to refine another batch of Break Infant Pills.

「Another half year passed」

The rich scent of elixir wafted out, and a Break Infant Pill bearing Eighteen Dao Pill Patterns lay amidst the ashes. Advanced Alchemy combined with the Core Condensation Technique produced the highest quality Break Infant Pill in history.

"I've succeeded!" He retrieved the sole Break Infant Pill, his face bursting with ecstatic joy.

Based on the properties of the elixir, Jia Ren estimated the Break Infant Pill could increase the success rate of Nascent Soul formation by over ninety percent. Such a rate was terrifying for Nascent Soul formation. Paired with the Xuanling Cha Infant Secret Array, as long as external factors didn't interfere, there was virtually no chance of failing to form a Nascent Soul.

"The Great Dao is within reach!"

Jia Ren carefully stored the Break Infant Pill in a specially made Jade Vase to prevent the loss of its medicinal properties. Now I can refine the Supreme Demon-sealing Tower! he thought with determination.

Nearly a year had passed since the Town Demon Alliance suffered heavy losses from a Bizarre Alliance attack, and it had remained closed to outsiders ever since. Jia Ren, lacking the refining method for the Supreme Demon-sealing Tower and needing to produce Break Infant Pills, had postponed this matter until today.

The Insect External Incarnation left the courtyard and headed to Eastern Forest Market City. After nearly a year of recuperation, Eastern Forest Market City had regained much of its vitality. Despite the dangers, it was still better than other places. Bizarre Demons rampaged across many areas, leading to a vast number of cultivators and commoners falling to their hands. Although Eastern Forest Market City had endured a disaster, backed by the Town Demon Alliance, it had no concerns about Bizarre Demons.

He smoothly reached the Town Demon Alliance and, after a thorough identity check by several cultivators, was finally let in.

"Brother Zhen!"

The Internal Affairs Director, upon seeing Zhen Yi, was both shocked and delighted, and quickly approached with a smile to greet him.

"Has anything significant happened recently?" Zhen Yi asked.

In the past, merely presenting the Zhenguai Alliance Order would have easily granted access to the Town Demon Alliance. Now, they have to carefully determine identity and background before allowing entry, Zhen Yi mused.

"It all started with a major calamity at the beginning of the year," the Internal Affairs Director explained. "The Bizarre Alliance sent quite a few people into the Town Demon Alliance, catching us off guard. We faced both internal and external threats, and the Formation was almost breached."

"Since then, our defenses have become far stricter than before."

The Internal Affairs Director looked at the Insect External Incarnation with a peculiar glint in his eye. While others might not know who had taken action, how could I be unaware? The false Alliance Hierarch, using Divine Passage Treasure Money to intimidate the Bizarre Alliance, managed to save the Western Bizarre-Suppressing Alliance. Zhen Yi's relationship with the Alliance Hierarch is out of the ordinary, and it's highly likely he used a talisman to impersonate the Alliance Hierarch, thus saving the Western Bizarre-Suppressing Alliance, he thought.

"Here's your exchange list."

An unprecedented exchange list was handed over, with a plethora of treasures listed. The exchange list was more detailed than before and included many items he had never seen previously.

The Ancient Soul-Losing Bell, an Ancient Treasure targeting the Divine Soul, exchange price: 140,000,000 Town Demon Alliance contributions.

Divine Skill "Five Elements Divine Thunder," exchange price: 105,000,000 Town Demon Alliance contributions.

Divine Skill "Great Blue Finger," exchange price: 84,000,000 Town Demon Alliance contributions.

Nascent Soul Finishing Pill, exchange price: 70,000,000 Town Demon Alliance contributions (Quantity: Four).

Sealing Demon Tower (Extreme) Refining Method: Large-size Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure, exchange price: 56,000,000 Town Demon Alliance contributions.

Divine Skill "Star Luo Chess Board," exchange price: 49,000,000 Town Demon Alliance contributions.

Profound Underworld Essence Stone, one pound for 7,000,000 Town Demon Alliance contributions (Out of stock).

...

Longevity Fruit Tree, can bear a maximum of three Longevity Fruits, exchange price: 14,000,000 Town Demon Alliance contributions (Quantity: One).

Green Scales Treasure Tree, capable of producing the Body Refinement holy fruit Green Scales Fruit, exchange price: 7,000,000 Town Demon Alliance contributions (Quantity: Three).

...

Why are the prices so cheap? Jia Ren wondered.

"Brother Zhen, what would you like to exchange for?" Seeing the astonishment of the Insect External Incarnation, the Internal Affairs Director couldn't help but laugh. "You must be curious about the prices. These prices are set at seventy percent of the original for Town Demon Alliance Elders."

"Although Brother Zhen is not an Elder of the Town Demon Alliance, your treatment is very special."

He looked at Jia Ren's incarnation with a meaningful expression but did not reveal any more.

Seventy percent of the original price?! I never expected such a good rate for Elders; this is beyond what I anticipated. Could this be an additional benefit for saving the Town Demon Alliance? With three hundred million Town Demon Alliance contributions, I can exchange for even more treasures. It's time to seriously consider what treasures to acquire next.
