As soon as these words were spoken, the hall erupted in an uproar. Within just a day, the East Cang Stele had remarkably changed twice?!

It's known that the last person to make the list now required at least the strength of a Martial Grandmaster!

And below fifty years of age!

Achieving a Grandmaster level is like climbing the sky for most Innate Realm cultivators.

Moreover, with an age limit for entering the ranking, it's even more difficult.

There haven't been any changes for years, and now it's happened twice?!

"Who is this Chen Beixuan? I've lived in East Cang City for many years and don't consider myself unsophisticated, yet I've never heard of this name."

"Indeed, the name is quite unfamiliar. It shouldn't be so. Logically, achieving Grandmaster status below fifty, and even at the Third Layer of Grandmaster! Such a figure should have long been famous in the Eastern Territory."

"Unless this person isn't from the Eastern Territory?"

The area where the Wuxiang Sect resided, including the Vice Sect Leader of Wuxiang Sect who led the group, was full of sighs.

Even their large Wuxiang Sect only has one Early Stage Martial Arts Grandmaster, yet now two under-fifty Grandmasters have appeared on the East Cang Stele!

Beside Jiang Lingyue, Yu Yu yearned, "Is this the foundation of the Eastern Territory? It's so enviable."

Jiang Lingyue didn't speak immediately. She always felt… the name Chen Beixuan seemed a bit off?

As if she should've heard it before.

After searching her memory hard, at last, a flash of inspiration sparked in Jiang Lingyue's mind!

She recalled that nearly three years ago when she and her brother-in-law Lu Ye escorted a shipment together, the only time they did.

After repelling those who robbed the shipment in a great battle, Sister Lingxiang once inquired about the name of a man in black!

Back then, the name the man in black gave was… Chen Beixuan!

So, Chen Beixuan isn't from the Eastern Territory, but actually hails from the Northern Territory?!

"That man in black who once saved me, has come to the Eastern Territory too?"

"Why do I feel… I must know this man in black..."

Unable to resist, Jiang Lingyue knocked her head, trying to use physical means to repair herself, boosting her intelligence.

Considering she once suspected whether the man in black could be the villain Lu Ye, Jiang Lingyue now had this thought again.

Although that villain denied it back then, now hearing this name again, Jiang Lingyue felt…

Perhaps that villain was lying to me before?

"I can't figure it out, forget it… When the time comes, I'll think of a little question to lure Lu Ye, maybe something will come out." Clenching her fist, Jiang Lingyue was already thinking about how to send a message to Lu Ye.

...

When the banquet at the City Lord's Mansion dispersed, the transaction event also officially commenced at East Cang Plaza. Countless people took out treasures they had prepared and exchanged them for coveted items.

When a disguised Lu Ye and Chen Lingxiang arrived at the plaza, Chen Lingxiang didn't immediately search for Innate Pills to exchange.

Instead, she went to the East Cang Stele for a detailed inspection.

Upon seeing "Chen Beixuan" at rank twenty-two, Chen Lingxiang had already guessed it.

Young Master Lu must not have used his full strength!

Otherwise, with that sword move from before, entering the top twenty wouldn't be impossible.

Watching Lu Ye wandering around the trading stalls not far away, Chen Lingxiang sighed deeply in her heart.

Meeting the one you admire most at an age of helplessness…

Falling flower Innate Chen Family disciple, it is both glory and constraint.

On the other side, Lu Ye was unaware of Chen Lingxiang's complicated emotions. At this moment he was wandering among simple stalls in the plaza, noticing many curious and rare items not usually seen.

Moments later, Chen Lingxiang walked over softly and said, "Young Master Chen, did you find something you like?"

"Just looking around, didn't see anything I wanted to get." Lu Ye asked, "What about you, did you see the Innate Pill?"

With a gentle smile, Chen Lingxiang's voice was soft, "Actually, during the day in the plaza's trading area, nothing too valuable usually appears."

"If you want to find good stuff, it's still the auction house. However, during the transaction event, the auction house doesn't auction with silver, but according to the seller's requirement, an auction method is provided."

"For example, if a seller brings out an Innate Pill, their requirement might be that you need a Tier Three Spirit Medicine to trade. Ultimately, whoever offers the highest price on that basis gets the auction item."

Hearing this, Lu Ye showed a look of realization, nodding slightly.

After all, it was his first time attending such a trade fair, and he was quite unfamiliar with many of the rules inside.

After listening to Chen Lingxiang's explanation, he finally understood.

"Then let's wait for the evening to go to the auction house for a look," Lu Ye said.

As his voice fell, Lu Ye caught sight out of the corner of his eye something quite familiar at a stall.

It was a parchment map.

Seeing this, Lu Ye confirmed his suspicion. This so-called treasure map located in Soul Falling Valley was indeed concocted by some scheming people to lure others into Soul Falling Valley to die.

The human-faced evil spirit from before was most likely bred this way.

The seal was destroyed, and the human-faced evil spirit must have contributed as well.

...

Cloud Leaf City, Jiang Family.

Jiang Qingge was sitting cross-legged in the cultivation room when a not-so-weak aura flashed on her delicate body.

Since Lu Ye left Cloud Leaf City for the Eastern Territory, it's been roughly ten days, during which Jiang Qingge's cultivation also smoothly advanced to the Fourth Layer of Condensing Origin.

Additionally, a few days ago, the maid from Ji Youluo's shop sent another cultivation technique secret manual to her.

Although she didn't want to accept goodwill repeatedly, upon seeing this cultivation technique, Jiang Qingge couldn't help but immerse herself.

Now, having changed to cultivate this technique, Jiang Qingge feels her cultivation speed… seems somewhat frighteningly fast!

In just over ten days, she broke through from the Third Layer to the Fourth Layer of Condensing Origin.

This has completely nothing to do with poor aptitude anymore.

Soon, as the sun set and completely sank below the horizon, a bright moon emerged in the night sky.

Upon entering night, Jiang Qingge instantly felt her ability to gather Heaven and Earth Source Qi subtly reached a higher level.

At this moment, the previously bright and clear moon's surface suddenly revealed faint hints of blood-red color.

Immediately, Jiang Qingge felt something in her body stir, as a terrifying Source Qi surge poured from the deepest part of her Dantian!

This Source Qi wasn't violent. It seemed like it was originally part of her body and could be refined easily.

Once Jiang Qingge spent time refining it, her cultivation ascended once again…

"I… I reached the Sixth Layer of Condensing Origin already?!"

In that instant, Jiang Qingge was utterly amazed. When did cultivation become such a convenient thing?

...

Meanwhile, as the night sky revealed faint streaks of blood in the moon, in East Cang City, a cloaked figure surrounded by people looked towards the sky, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.

"Good, good, good! The more often the Blood Moon appears, the faster the Lord's strength increases!"
