Chapter 53: Demon Spies
Immediately, another terrifying thought flashed through, and his voice trembled as he asked, "Are there infiltrators from the Yao tribe in the upper echelons of the human race?"
The fact that the human race could infiltrate the Yao tribe made it hard for Chu Feng to believe there were no infiltrators from the Yao tribe within the human race.
"Perhaps. I've heard of a miraculous elixir called the Transformation Pill, which allows Yao tribe members to transform into human form, making it difficult to distinguish them from humans," Ye Xuan said with a complex expression.
Transformation Pill – Chu Feng, being a "bookworm," was quite familiar with this.
So, there really was such a elixir!
Yao beasts capable of using the Transformation Pill must possess strength that was formidable enough to shake the heavens and the earth. They were simply beyond reach.
He didn't need to worry about having Yao tribe members around him. The thought of familiar people turning out to be Yao tribe members in disguise sent shivers down his spine.
The two fell into silence for a moment, and after a brief pause, the woman, seemingly unwilling to discuss the secrets of the human race's upper echelons any further, changed the topic.
Looking at the young man before her, brimming with vitality, she smiled gently. "Chu Feng, you're so young yet already possess the strength of a Town Marshal. Your talent must have reached the Stellar level. On behalf of the Nine Ding Shopping Mall, I invite you to join. If you find the terms of our Stellar-level contract unsatisfactory, we can negotiate."
The woman quickly introduced the situation of the Nine Ding Shopping Mall and the terms of the Stellar-level contract.
She then raised her eyebrows, looking at Chu Feng with an expression of anticipation.
As the foremost commercial giant in the Dragon Country, the Nine Ding Shopping Mall had a colossal presence, even expanding its influence overseas. Naturally, its financial strength was immensely formidable.
In terms of financial rewards alone, the terms might even surpass those of the Shura Martial Arts Academy.
Taken together, it was on par with the Shura Martial Arts Academy, and there was room for negotiation in the terms. These conditions were much more favorable than those of the Shura Martial Arts Academy.
Chu Feng contemplated for a moment and, with a slight apology, said, "Thank you, Miss Ye, and the Nine Ding Shopping Mall for your appreciation. Unfortunately, I've already joined the Shura Martial Arts Academy. Although I've long admired the Nine Ding Shopping Mall, fate has its twists and turns."
He politely declined.
A man without integrity cannot stand! Leaving the Shura Martial Arts Academy to rejoin the Nine Ding Shopping Mall was out of the question.
And quitting the Shura Martial Arts Academy? Ridiculous!
In that case, he might as well bid farewell to his future in the Dragon Country.
The woman showed a knowing expression, tinged with a hint of regret. However, since Chu Feng had already joined the Shura Martial Arts Academy, there was no possibility of absorbing him again.
Ye Xuan nodded slightly and, with a soft voice, said, "Alright then! The Shura Martial Arts Academy is also a pillar of our human race, a good choice."
Having said that, she seemed to have the intention to leave.
She glanced in the direction of the Bright Moon Lake, revealing a strong unwillingness on her face, but she knew that it was ultimately beyond her control.
With a low tone, she said to Chu Feng, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to heal now. The venom of the Shrouded Heaven Octopus is very troublesome. I've only temporarily suppressed it, and the detoxification process requires me to return to Jiangning City. For saving my life, I will repay this kindness in the future. Farewell for now!"
Chu Feng suddenly remembered his troubles in cultivation. Despite trying many methods, his blood energy value remained stagnant. He was unable to comprehend what was wrong.
Ever since the awakening of the system, his strength had skyrocketed like a rocket. From advancing to a Master during the trial to returning to the city to eradicate the Heavenly Wolf Gang, joining the Shura Martial Arts Academy, and then venturing into the mountains for exploration.
The entire process was him charging forward on his own. There must be a problem somewhere.
"Miss Ye, I have a question about cultivation that I'd like to consult you on. After my blood energy value reached one hundred, I wasted a large amount of Yao beast heart blood, but my blood energy value didn't increase at all. I don't know where the problem lies," Chu Feng humbly said.
Ye Xuan pursed her lips, as if looking at a fool, staring at Chu Feng.
Her face showed shock, finding it unbelievable, and said, "How do you cultivate? Isn't this a basic issue?"
"Uh..." Chu Feng was speechless.
