The vault of the Zhuang Family.

There must be tight security around it. It was almost impossible for outsiders to break into this vault and locating it would be a big problem as well. Chen Xiaobei needed to come up with a perfect plan before bagging everything inside the vault into his treasure chest. Without a perfect plan, Chen Xiaobei could be alerting the entire the Zhuang Family and he would get into big trouble. That was why Chen Xiaobei left the place with Tai Yitan and Teng Niu right after he received one thousand Spiritual Stones from the Zhuang Family. On the other hand, every Zhuang Family member was still kneeling on the ground impassively. It was as if they had lost part of their soul.

At Bei Xuan Faction.

Tai Yitan had officially become Chen Xiaobei's disciple. He finally earned the right to pass the Puzzle Formation and enter Bei Xuan Faction. Considering that Tai Yitan wanted to learn black magic from Chen Xiaobei, he would definitely stay loyal to him. From this moment onward, he would become one of Chen Xiaobei's most trusted allies.

"Sifu. How did you kill the two of them just now? I have never seen that green flame in my life before! Why did you claim that it is a form of black magic?"

Seeing that there was no one around them, Tai Yitan could not help but ask.

"Look at it yourself."

With only his sheer will, Chen Xiaobei summoned a green flame that was as big as a coin on his palm.

"This… This is a worm?! A hexworm?!" 

"That's right. This hexworm is called Infernal Flying Hexworm. I came across this hexworm when I was traveling in Zhong State."

Chen Xiaobei then took out the book called Primary Hexworm Growing Manual and passed it to Tai Yitan.

"Seeing that you don't even recognize the Infernal Flying Hexworm, I guess all the ancient black magic was completely lost. Take it and spend some time reading it. Come and ask me if you have anything that you can't understand."

"Yes, Sifu!"

Upon receiving the book, Tai Yitan treated it as a priceless treasure, excited.

"Alright. If there's nothing else, I would like to do some training right now. You should go back first!" said Chen Xiaobei while waving his hands.

"Then I should leave you be for now!"

Tai Yitan exited the room politely.

*Swoosh…*

Chen Xiaobei instantly dropped one thousand Spiritual Stone on the floor. They were all shining like stars in the sky. Following that, Chen Xiaobei took out his Green Jade Gourd and started to drain all the Spiritual Qi from the Spiritual Stones. After crafting the Infinite Space Ring, the Spiritual Qi left in the Green Jade Gourd was equivalent to eight thousand Spiritual Stones. During the Mamba Island incident, Chen Xiaobei let Xiangyi take a sip from it and the Spiritual Qi left in the Green Jade Gourd was equivalent to seven thousand Spiritual Stones.

The higher the cultivation, the more Spiritual Qi a Dantian could store. Without wasting any time, Chen Xiaobei quickly went into training mode. Needless to say, Chen Xiaobei now was going to focus on training the Emperor Health Ultimate Enhancement Skill. His main priority was to boost his health to match up with his combat power. When health matches combat power, Chen Xiaobei could carry on with the journey to boost his cultivation to a higher level.

If not, his body would not be able to utilize all the excessive combat power that he had in his body.

Time flew.

Three days and three night had passed…

*Ring*

*Ring*

The alarm that Chen Xiaobei set three days ago finally went off. He then slowly got out from his mediation.

*Exhale*

Chen Xioabei exhaled a mouthful of filthy vapor. Both of his eyes shone like newborn stars. It seemed that his energy level was boosted greatly.

Ding!

[Cultivation: Early phase of True Nirvana Stage. Health: 33,000. Combat power: 30,000!]

"Increasing my health by 3,000 within three days! The improvement speed was still as fast as usual!"

With the help of the Primordial Witch Combat Enhancement Training Manual, Chen Xiaobei could boost his combat power up to 33,000! According to the thing that Luo Puti told him earlier, elites that were going to take part in the martial arts competition like Tai Yitan, Wu Aofeng, and Huo Yuanba possessed around 33,000 combat power.

Now, Chen Xiaobei was as powerful as them. Since the martial arts competition was going to be held after the Lunar New Year, Chen Xiaobei still had a lot of time to train himself to become more powerful. By that time, Chen Xiaobei should be able to defeat all his opponents and become the champion. Seemingly, everything was going according to his plan. The only problem was the lack of Spiritual Qi.

"In only three days, the amount of Spiritual Qi that I consumed is equivalent to one thousand Spiritual Stones! With that being said, a single Spiritual Stone only increases 33 health! Last time, a Spiritual Stone could increase at least 100 health! Now it has been cut down greatly. It seems like True Nirvana is not an easy phase."

"Just like playing games, the higher level one gets to; the more experience one needs to get to the next level! However, I still have around 7,000 Spiritual Stones inside my Green Jade Gourd. I think that should be more than enough to be used to boost my health! My only concern is activating the Soul Consuming Enigmatic Jade. I will need 10,000 Spiritual Stones to transform it… That is definitely a long journey and process. I wonder how many Spiritual Stones the Zhuang Family possesses. I really want to go into the vault and check it out."

"Why is the chess piece that I planted inside the Zhuang Family is not moving yet? I will have the opportunity to sneak into the vault if he makes a move!"

It had been quite some time since Chen Xiaobei planted this chess piece in the Zhuang Family and no one knew about it as well. The name of this chess piece was Zhuang Yuejin. Chen Xiaobei crossed paths with this person when he went to the ancient forest to look for the Black Star Ganoderma. All he needed right now was to wait for Zhuang Yuejin to work together with him.

"Never mind… It's useless for me to keep thinking about it. I will have to wait for Zhuang Yuejin to look for me before I can do anything solid. I should head to the airport now to pick up Fire Boss and the rest of them."

After cleaning up, Chen Xiaobei went to the airport to pick them up immediately. The Lunar New Year was just around the corner. Fire Boss and Jing Fei had agreed to celebrate the new year at Paradise Island and thus would arrive at Dragon City today. Although Chen Xiaobei was their master, he still treated them as his good friends. That was why he wanted to pick them up personally.

...

At the same time.

Somewhere around the Indian Ocean.

A giant rescue ship was searching for something. The divers were equipped with proper gears and jumped into the sea one by one. At the front part of the rescue ship, a US officer was standing together with a man in a long robe.

"Master Gustav… Pardon me for telling the truth. The sea is so big. The possibility of locating Duke Gustav's body is close to zero!"

"Don't worry! I can sense that my grandpa's body is just around here! My grandpa is a duke in the family and he possesses Dark Power! I, Damien Gustav, am his sole heir! I'm pretty sure that I'm not looking at the wrong place!"
