152: Chapter 152 The Ten Thousand Eyes Pavilion

Late at night, Tianhua Inn.

The Heaven-class room.

A soft knock on the door reached the ears of Fan Jun, who was currently reading a book.

He stood up and opened the door, and a figure slipped inside.

Fan Jun was not surprised at all by this. He casually closed the door, walked over to the table, and sat down.

The person who had slipped in stood there respectfully.

"Lord Fan, this is the intelligence our men have gathered on the various forces and martial arts experts in Linjiang Prefecture!"

In the next moment, the visitor presented a newly written booklet with both hands.

Indeed, this group of people was one of the teams sent by Marquis Weiwu to find the culprit who had plotted against his son, Young Marquis Wei Wuji.

The Wei Family had not just risen in Marquis Weiwu's generation.

In fact, the Wei Family had already emerged three hundred years after the founding of the Great Yong Kingdom.

It was just that in this generation, talents had emerged in abundance, reaching the absolute Peak.

For any force wanting to rise, intelligence was indispensable.

Therefore, after the Wei Family gained a certain amount of power, they secretly created an intelligence organization—the Wanyan Pavilion.

And Fan Jun was the current master of the Wanyan Pavilion in this generation, with a cultivation at the Early Stage Blood Refining.

Although there was clear evidence proving that the person who plotted against the Young Marquis was a sorcerer.

However, Fan Jun did not start his investigation directly with the sorcerers.

Instead, he chose to first get a clear picture of the major forces in Linjiang Prefecture and the prominent Martial Artists to begin his investigation.

Because he knew that the profession of a sorcerer was quite special.

In the first two Realms, the Spirit Awakening Realm and the Soul Condensation Realm, they had almost no means of attack.

Without being on guard, even a Skin Refining Martial Artist could easily slay them.

In addition, the cultivation resources required by sorcerers were extremely rare.

Rarity meant high prices.

Therefore, sorcerers would generally choose to attach themselves to a certain force to secretly increase their strength.

At the same time, they would not easily reveal their identity as a sorcerer to the outside world.

However, the sorcerer who plotted against the Young Marquis this time had cast a Medium Grade spell, which indicated that this sorcerer had a certain Legacy, and their cultivation had reached at least the Condensation Realm, or even the Dan Soul Realm.

Yet, coincidentally, no news about any sorcerers had come out of Linjiang Prefecture.

This proved even further that this sorcerer was lying low within one of the forces.

The forces in Linjiang Prefecture were actually quite simple.

The Inner City was controlled by the five Bone Refining aristocratic families.

The outer city was controlled by numerous Gangs.

Aside from the aristocratic families and Gangs, there were two other major forces in Linjiang Prefecture: the government and the Zhenwu Division.

The Zhenwu Division was directly ruled out by Fan Jun.

Although the Zhenwu Division did not fear Marquis Weiwu, there was no need to offend him. Moreover, who didn't know that the Young Marquis was the only son of Marquis Weiwu?

Anyone who touched the Young Marquis would form a deadly feud with Marquis Weiwu.

Fan Jun understood the Young Marquis's character all too well.

He loved killing and beautiful women.

Furthermore, the Young Marquis did not care about his own bad reputation at all, not even bothering to cover it up.

Therefore, if anyone wanted to know what kind of person the Young Marquis was, they could find out with just a little inquiry.

Thus, in Fan Jun's view, the Five Great Families and Prefect Yang Ze were all suspects.

However, he first ruled out Prefect Yang Ze, who had the greatest suspicion on paper.

Because Prefect Yang Ze had no motive to plot against the Young Marquis, and moreover, if something really happened to the Young Marquis...

The first one to suffer would be Prefect Yang Ze himself, since the Young Marquis was staying in the prefectural office.

Therefore, Fan Jun felt that the sorcerer was most likely hiding within one of the Five Great Families.

Subsequently, Fan Jun turned to the page recording the prominent Martial Artists of Linjiang Prefecture.

When he saw the introductory information about Chen Hu...

Fan Jun was slightly surprised. In a mere Linjiang Prefecture, a Marrow Refining Realm expert had actually emerged, and the other party was only in his early twenties.

With such an age and cultivation, even in the royal capital, he could be called a Prodigy.

What made it even more interesting to him was...

Not long ago, this Chen Hu was still just a minor leader in the Fierce Tiger Gang, and his cultivation was only at the Skin Refining Realm.

Yet, in just a matter of dozens of days, his cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds.

Going from a Skin Refining Martial Artist to a Marrow Refining Martial Artist.

"This guy has a secret, and it's no small secret!"

He immediately drew a circle around Chen Hu's name and said to his subordinate, "Send someone to investigate Chen Hu thoroughly!"

"Yes!"

"Also, thoroughly investigate the Five Great Families!"

The subordinate immediately took the order and then backed out of the room.

Meanwhile, at Chen Hu's home.

He had just changed out of his groom's attire, which was taken by Ruyi and Zhizhi.

Tomorrow was the day he would take Widow Wang in as his concubine.

To be honest, he was still somewhat excited.

In his past life, he was a single dog.

He didn't expect that after coming to this world, before even marrying a wife, he would take a concubine first.

It had to be said that this world was very friendly to men.

After sending away the sisters, Ruyi and Zhizhi...

Chen Hu went to the study.

He casually picked up a miscellaneous book and began flipping through it.

Because there was still half an hour before midnight.

Time continued to slip away as Chen Hu read.

Finally, midnight arrived.

All the cards had been refreshed.

Putting down the book in his hand, Chen Hu began to open the cards.

First, he opened all the resource cards.

He didn't know if it was because he was taking a concubine today.

The resources opened today were of extremely high quality.

For example, the pill card actually yielded a Five Viscera Pill.

The Spirit Fruit Card yielded an Advanced spirit fruit, the Dragon Blood Fruit. After consuming this Dragon Blood Fruit, it could accelerate the Blood Refining process of a Blood Refining Martial Artist.

As for the Spirit Medicine card, it also yielded an extraordinary Spirit Medicine called heaven soul grass, which contained powerful Soul Power and could strengthen the Divine Soul after being absorbed.

The food card yielded 1,000 catties of spirit rice, the spirit spring card yielded 1,000 catties of spirit spring, and the fine wine card yielded 10 catties of spirit wine.

There were also three meat field cards, all of which yielded exotic beast meat.

Especially the Advanced meat field card, which directly yielded 1,000 catties of fifth-order exotic beast meat.

There was also a tea card, which yielded a new kind of spirit tea.

After storing these things into his Storage Ring...

Chen Hu opened the resource cards, obtaining a Low Grade divine weapon from the weapon card.

And from the divine weapon card, he obtained a High Grade divine weapon.

With a thought, the intelligence card appeared in Chen Hu's hand.

"Open!"

Today's Intelligence: A team sent by Marquis Weiwu to find the culprit who plotted against his son has already arrived in Linjiang Prefecture. The leader is Fan Jun, the master of the Wanyan Pavilion, an intelligence organization created by the Wei Family.

The opponent's cultivation is at the Early Stage Blood Refining, and because the host's cultivation has risen too quickly, you have already been targeted by them.

"Holy crap!"

Chen Hu was startled. For that dog-like son of his, Marquis Weiwu had actually sent a Blood Refining powerhouse.

His current cultivation was only at the Mid-stage Marrow Refining Realm. Even if he could fight across a major Realm and defeat enemies, at most he could only defeat someone at the Late-stage Refining Viscera.

Suddenly, Chen Hu's heart stirred.

He thought of the Cultivation Sticky Card he had drawn.

This card could copy other people's cultivation and Martial Skills.

If he used this sticky card on that Fan Jun, wouldn't he have an extra Blood Refining Realm combat power?

But who should he give the copied cultivation to?

Use it for himself?

Or give it to someone else?

After thinking about it, Chen Hu decided to give it to someone else. Since he was basically a walking cheat anyway, it wouldn't take long for him to Cultivate to the Blood Refining Realm himself.

If he used it on himself, he would lose a potential Blood Refining Realm subordinate.

After making his decision, Chen Hu took out his identity card.

"Open!"

"Oh? The identity obtained this time is actually an elderly sorcerer!"

Chen Hu decisively transformed into the elderly sorcerer.

After reading his memories, Chen Hu couldn't help but smile.
