Lin Bai, posing as a loose cultivator named Lin Bai, becomes acquainted with Zhang Zhengqing of the Zhang family. He requests books and maps of Zhongzhou and the Central Holy Kingdom, which Zhang Zhengqing readily provides. After several days of intensive reading, Lin Bai continues to borrow more texts, focusing on specific regions and resources. Zhang Zhengqing expresses admiration for Lin Bai's methodical approach and assures him of his safety in Thousand Leaves City, hinting at a connection between his father and Su Jin.

After reading the records on Longhe County, Lin Bai now had a comprehensive understanding of Longhe County.

"The territories of Longhe County are actually larger than the combined three territories of the East Continent!"

"What vast expanse!"

"Within Longhe County, the Governor’s Mansion is the strongest power here. Even though there may not be many strong ones in the Governor’s Mansion, no one dares to provoke it in Longhe County. After all, it is the Governor’s Mansion established by the Central Holy Nation."

"Besides the Governor’s Mansion, there are also the Four Great Families and the Four Major Sects within Longhe County."

"Among these Four Major Sects is the annihilated Jian Lake."

"Besides Jian Lake, there are also the Water Cloud Sect, Broken Sun Sect, and Chaotic Heaven Sect!"

"The Four Great Families are the Li Family of the Gourd Mountain, the Jiang Clan of Jiang Ning City, and the Yun Clan of Dongyang City."

"I didn’t expect that Jian Lake, before its annihilation, held such a high status within Longhe County!"

After reading these records, Lin Bai had a thorough understanding of the power distribution within Longhe County.

"As for the elixir pills most suitable for those at the Wending Realm, there are more than ten types within Longhe County. Naturally, I discerned there’s a pill called the ’Holy Blood Pill’ that is most suitable for me to use to enhance my cultivation."

"The Holy Blood Pill is specifically refined for warriors at the first level of the Wending Realm to consume and break through, made from the blood of over a thousand demon beasts. The pill contains extremely strong Qi blood power and spiritual power."

"The Holy Blood Pill not only can be consumed by Wending Realm warriors but also benefits body refining martial artists greatly."

"But the Holy Blood Pill is too expensive. According to the records, each Holy Blood Pill is worth a thousand spirit crystals!"

"And consuming one is not necessarily enough to break through; multiple needs are necessary!"

Lin Bai frowned and said, "It seems purchasing Holy Blood Pills requires a considerable amount of funds, yet I only have just over two hundred million spirit liquid in my storage bag now. Even if converted into spirit crystals, it’s just over two hundred spirit crystals."

"This isn’t enough to purchase even a single Holy Blood Pill!"

Lin Bai stood in the room, pondering deeply.

"Furthermore, I originally wanted to look over the map of Longhe County to see if I could find any mountain ranges where demon beasts gather. But I found out that in the Central Holy Nation, demon clans have mostly transformed into human forms, not staying in the deep mountains and old forests for bitter cultivation at all!"

"Even now, the demon beasts in the mountain ranges of the Central Holy Nation are almost all of the Death Reversal Realm!"

"And demon clans of the Wending Realm have mostly turned into human forms, either living leisurely within the Central Holy Nation or becoming guest officials for some great families, or becoming the claws and teeth of the Central Holy Nation!"

"In the Central Holy Nation, demon clans are not resisted, so many can reveal their identities there."

Lin Bai integrated the content from the records he read these few days and started pondering deeply.

Originally, Lin Bai planned that if he couldn’t buy pills, he would find a mountain range with many demon beasts to hunt them and enhance his cultivation.

But now there are no demon beasts of the Wending Realm in these demon beast mountain ranges, and the blood of Death Reversal Realm demon beasts is just a drop in the ocean, unable to allow Lin Bai to break through the realm currently.

"It seems I’ll have to find a way to purchase the Holy Blood Pill, but such an expensive pill, with so few spirit crystals, what can I do?"

"Huh?"

"Got it."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Lin Bai, and he laughed softly: "I might as well ask Zhang Zhengqing if the Zhang family has the pill recipe for the Holy Blood Pill and exactly what demon beast blood is used to refine it. If I get the pill recipe, perhaps I can refine it myself."

With this thought, Lin Bai walked directly out of the room, greeted Su Jin, and then took out the Sound Transmission Token to contact Zhang Zhengqing. Simultaneously, Lin Bai walked towards the Scripture Storage Pavilion.

Lin Bai stood in front of the Scripture Storage Pavilion, waited for a long time, but did not see Zhang Zhengqing arrive.

Previously, whenever Lin Bai contacted Zhang Zhengqing, after waiting a bit in front of the Scripture Storage Pavilion, Zhang Zhengqing would come by.

But today, Lin Bai had already waited for half an hour and still didn’t see Zhang Zhengqing’s shadow.

"Maybe something came up," Lin Bai was not impatient, waiting calmly in front of the Scripture Storage Pavilion while watching Zhang family disciples coming and going busily inside and outside the pavilion.

They seemed to notice Lin Bai too, but only glanced briefly before hurrying away, seemingly busy.

Lin Bai waited for another half an hour but still did not see Zhang Zhengqing.

"Huh?"

"Something seems off; Brother Zhang isn’t someone who’s impolite."

"Since he received my transmission, if it’s inconvenient for him to see me now, he should have at least responded, but he said nothing."

Lin Bai frowned and walked out of the Scripture Storage Pavilion.

As he moved out of the range of the Scripture Storage Pavilion, Lin Bai noticed the martial artists within the Zhang family all rushing in one direction.

Lin Bai grabbed a martial artist passing by and asked, "Brother, where are you all rushing off to?"

This martial artist replied, "You don’t know? You’ve just returned to the family from outside, right? Today the Zhao family’s Eldest Young Master, Zhao Zhou, brought disciples from the Chaotic Heaven Sect as guests to our family."

"As you know, our Zhang family and the Zhao family have always been at odds!"

"Especially now that Jian Lake, the Zhang family’s supported sect, has been annihilated. The Zhao family, bringing disciples from the Chaotic Heaven Sect this time, likely intends to show us up."

"So, reportedly, during the banquet, the eldest young master Zhang Zhengqing and Zhao Zhou started a quarrel."

"Now it’s escalated to martial arts competition."

"In the Martial Arts Competition Arena now, outstanding disciples from the two great families and the Chaotic Heaven Sect are engaging in friendly matches."

"Reportedly, the situation isn’t optimistic. Our Zhang family has already lost three rounds consecutively!"

"I’m just going over to see the commotion and see if there’s anything I can contribute."

The martial artist hurriedly said to Lin Bai.

"No more chatting, if you want to watch too, head to the Martial Arts Competition Arena." After saying this, the martial artist ran hastily past Lin Bai.

Lin Bai was momentarily stunned, softly saying, "Zhao family’s Eldest Young Master Zhao Zhou? Chaotic Heaven Sect disciples?"

Lin Bai turned around, looking towards the direction these martial artists were heading.

Lin Bai was not very familiar with the Zhang family, so he followed these martial artists.

Fortunately, these martial artists were all heading to the Martial Arts Competition Arena, and after passing several yards and passageways, Lin Bai arrived at a crowded square.

At this place, tens of thousands of Zhang family disciples were gathered, watching the fierce exchanges on the Martial Arts Stage!

Lin Bai struggled to squeeze through the crowd to a spot with a good view, looking distantly at the fierce battle on the Martial Arts Stage.

At that moment, a blue-robed Sword Cultivator struck an opponent with a single sword, causing him to cough up blood and fall embarrassedly on the Martial Arts Stage!
