Martial Arts: I Have a Wilderness World

Chapter 648: Chapter 330: Exhortations and Arrangements

It needed to both prevent detection by Divine Sense and ensure that even if it was probed, it would appear completely ordinary.

"Yes, sir. I’ll see to it at once." Luo Dingran placed the ledger on the desk, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and left.

Cheng Zongyang casually sat in the chair behind the desk and continued to mull things over.

This Teleportation Array was extremely important. He couldn’t afford a single mistake this time.

As for the passage for teleporting people in the future, he planned to keep it in the mountain cave. For one, the location had already been discovered, so continuing to use it would prevent the Sect from growing suspicious. For another, if anyone was teleported over, he could use the excuse that it was part of the Jade Peak Commerce Association’s immigration business—people brought in from other regions.

He figured that even if the Immortal Sect found out, they wouldn’t pay much attention to such a trivial matter.

As for the Foundation Establishment Pill business they wanted, he wasn’t interested and had no intention of working with them.

’Does a Sect really lack Foundation Establishment Pills? It’s possible, but they must have ulterior motives.’

’As if an Immortal Sect would really stoop to doing business with some obscure, no-name Commerce Association.’

He was certain that if he dared to offer up even more Foundation Establishment Pills in a deal next time, that old coot Zhang Ye would definitely not be able to sit still.

’I’ll just have to take it one step at a time. Who knows what those people will do next,’ Cheng Zongyang thought.

Then, his thoughts turned to Lin Changfeng, and he was filled with mixed emotions.

If it weren’t for Lin Changfeng, he imagined his situation would have remained unchanged. But Lin Changfeng’s appearance had instead dragged all his problems out into the open.

The Sect was indeed powerful. They had known for a long time that he was selling Foundation Establishment Pills but simply hadn’t paid it any mind. It was only because of the incident with Lin Changfeng that the issue was brought to their attention.

But all in all, it was a good thing.

With all the problems out in the open, he could prepare more effectively. At the same time, he had learned from Lin Changfeng about things that might pertain to the passage between the two worlds.

As for the Black Death Secret Manual.

With a flip of his hand, Cheng Zongyang retrieved the book from the preservation layer of the Hall of Ten Thousand Races.

"Cultivating the Upper Volume grants an Undying Body; cultivating the Lower Volume grants an Immortal Soul." A brilliant light shone in Cheng Zongyang’s eyes.

The temptation was immense.

But the book didn’t explain the benefits of successfully cultivating the Black Death Secret Manual. It was simply preserved as a supreme Cultivation Technique.

If his own Cultivation Technique didn’t have greater advantages after being upgraded, he would have been tempted to cultivate this manual himself.

The only problem was that it required killing people and then using a Secret Technique to absorb the Evil Qi, Resentful Qi, and Soul Power of the dead. This was then refined within the body to form Black Death Soul Power.

Given the choice, he would never walk such a path himself, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t have someone else cultivate it.

The first person who came to Cheng Zongyang’s mind was Lin Feng.

After all, Lin Feng met both requirements for cultivating the Black Death Secret Manual.

With his Five Spirit Bones, he was destined for rapid progress in Martial Arts. And while his Five Spirit Roots would normally make cultivation slow, the Black Death Secret Manual’s methods were different, so his progress wouldn’t be hindered.

The boy had traveled far and wide with Lin Changfeng, experiencing a great deal of darkness and slaughter. Both his temperament and his mind were far more mature and stronger than those of his peers—or even some adults.

He was an excellent choice to cultivate the manual.

Beyond those reasons, there was also the ten-year contract. After ten years, Cheng Zongyang was confident he could get it renewed, and keep renewing it until the boy swore his complete and utter loyalty.

As a last resort, purchasing some special Elixirs or using a Secret Technique to ensure the boy’s undying loyalty was always an option.

The effects of the Black Death Secret Manual were too powerful. He absolutely could not allow its practitioner to slip from his grasp.

With this idea in mind, Cheng Zongyang left Luo Dingran’s office and went to Lin Feng’s room. He then took the boy with him, leaving the Wilderness World and returning to the outside.
