Sovereign’s Great Path

City leader's mansion.    

Teng Yan closed the door and directly walked in. In front of him was still the open courtyard at the very outer part of the City Lord's mansion, and at the moment, the 900 people were all gathered here. They did not look like they died from the poison like the Condensing Reality Realm martial artist did. Not only that, they were all sitting cross-legged on the ground, cultivating.    

If people outside were to see this scene, they would definitely be puzzled.    

What are they doing?    

Cultivation?    

You must be crazy...    

"Young Master Yan!" Upon seeing Teng Yan enter, the seven of them immediately surrounded him, each of them with a hint of excitement and strangeness on their faces. They would even occasionally glance at the people who were sitting cross-legged on the ground and cultivating.    

"Young Master Yan!" Just then, a middle aged man came to Teng Yan and respectfully greeted him.    

"You did very well and acted very well. Thank you very much for your help this time." Teng Yan said with a smile as his gaze landed on the middle-aged man. This person was none other than the Condensing Reality Realm martial artist who had died from poison from before. At the same time, he was one of the four people the Xuanyuan Family left behind to protect Teng Yan.    

If those people outside were to see this scene, they would definitely be shocked and terrified.    

The dead were revived?    

Of course not.    

This Condensing Reality Realm martial artist was not dead at all, and what he consumed was not some fang-testing poison pill.    

Instead — Body Tempering Pill.    

The reason why Teng Yan had called for the Trial of Adhering Poison was simply to probe the people who had come to register for the City Guards, and the pill was the Body Refinement Pellet that Teng Yan had refined earlier. As for the Condensing Reality Realm martial artist, she was also called over by Teng Yan to act out this show for the sake of making everyone believe more in the effects of the Loyalty Poison Pill, and letting many opportunistic people retreat after learning of the difficulties.    

Obviously, Teng Yan had succeeded.    

Although in the end, there were not even a thousand people left from the tens of thousands, Teng Yan believed that these thousand people would definitely be able to become his direct disciples and trusted aides.    

"Young Master Yan is too courteous, but …" Young Master Yan's move is truly incredible, I believe that all of these people should be able to trust you. " Condensing Reality Realm martial artist looked at Teng Yan and said with awe and admiration. Previously, when Teng Yan came to find him to discuss about this show, he was shocked.    

"Hur hur, maybe." Teng Yan said as his gaze fell on those people.    

BOOM *    

Suddenly, there was quite a commotion from the crowd.    

Someone broke through?    

Teng Yan and the rest were startled, and then revealed a slight smile. The Body Refinement Pellet could allow a person under the fifth level of pulse state to break through once, and these people's cultivation were mostly within the effective range of the Body Tempering Pellet, so it was normal for them to break through.    

"I've broken through?" The one who had made the first breakthrough stood up and sized himself up with a look of astonishment.    

Boom...    

Soon after, another commotion was heard.    

Yet another person had broken through.    

Boom! Boom! Boom!    

Following that, more and more people broke through.    

"I've broken through …"    

"I didn't die, and I even broke through …"    

"I have broken through as well..."    

"Me too …"    

One after another, excited voices sounded. After a few minutes, everyone had absorbed the medicinal effects of the Body Refinement Pellet, and without exception, all of them had broken through. At this time, those several hundred people who stood in the small courtyard all looked at Teng Yan with astonished gazes.    

Breakthrough?    

It couldn't be a coincidence.    

One or two might be easy to explain, but if everyone was like this, then it definitely wouldn't be a coincidence.    

Trial of the loyalty poison pill?    

At this moment, they all thought of the elixir they had used to test out the loyalty poison. Moreover, the only thing they had in common was this Pill. Now that they had all made a breakthrough, the only possibility was the effect of this Pill of Loyalty.    

Poison pill?    

Poison pill? This was simply a heaven-defying pill!    

A one hundred percent breakthrough.    

What kind of concept was this?    

He didn't even dare to think about it.    

At this moment, the eyes which everyone was looking at Teng Yan with carried extreme shock.    

Hm?    

Suddenly, everyone noticed Xuanyuan Family standing beside Teng Yan.    

The dead man?    

Everyone could not help but stare in shock, their hearts skipped a beat and they backed up even more as they stared at Condensing Reality Realm martial artist. A hint of fear and wariness flashed past their eyes, and there was even a hint of disbelief.    

The dead were revived?    

"Hehe, everyone, don't worry. The brother you all saw wasn't a dead man at all, or rather, he isn't dead at all. He was only found by this young master to act along with this young master." Seeing the intense reactions of the people in front of him, Teng Yan's indifferent voice sounded.    

Not a dead man?    

Not dead?    

Acting?    

Everyone's confused gazes all fell on Teng Yan's body.    

"Perhaps you all have already sensed that you both made a breakthrough. Is it strange? Actually, it's not strange at all. What you just consumed was not the Pill, and there isn't such a thing in this world. What you guys are consuming is a Body Refinement Pellet that this young master has refined. It is a medicinal pellet that can let a martial artist below the fifth level of pulse state directly break through once. " Teng Yan explained again.    

What?    

Not testing out the poison pill, but the Body Refinement Pellet? He could break through even once when his pulse state was at the fifth level or lower?    

This...    

Everyone looked at Teng Yan with shock in their eyes.    

This was simply a priceless treasure.    

"Phew …"    

Looking at Teng Yan, everyone couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief in their hearts. At this moment, how could they not understand why Teng Yan had called this heaven defying pill a poison to test one's loyalty? This was simply a test, and also a true test.    

Do you dare to eat those with ill intentions?    

Especially since a Condensing Reality Realm martial artist died.    

Excited, excited, glad!    

Adherence to the truth was the most correct decision they had made.    

"A Body Refinement Pellet can only be consumed once by a pulse state practitioner, but twice by a physical state practitioner. There were some among you who were at the eighth stage of the physical state before, but now that you have broken through to the ninth stage of the physical state, you can consume it a second time after seven days. At that time, you can directly advance to the pulse state. Following which, Teng Yan spoke out.    

What?    

You can take it again?    

Directly advancing the pulse state?    

Everyone present was shocked, and those more than one hundred ninth stage physical state warriors were even more so completely excited. In the past, if they wanted to level up, it would take them a few months or even a few years. were able to break through twice and progress in pulse state in just seven short days.    

They didn't even dare to think about such a thing before.    

This was simply heaven defying.    

Shua shua shua …    

Immediately, all the more than a hundred warriors of the ninth stage of the physical state half kneeled in front of Teng Yan.    

"Thank you, City Lord, for your bestowment!"    

Excited voices rang out. This was definitely the voice that came from the bottom of their hearts. At the same time, all of them rejoiced over their decision. This was definitely the most correct decision that they had ever made in their lives.    

"Get up. You don't have to thank this young master. This is what you deserve." Teng Yan looked at the people in front of him and smiled faintly, "Moreover, this young master can tell you right now, this is only the beginning. There will be more of this kind of reward in the future, and there will be many of them, and even more of them beyond your expectations. "Of course …" Teng Yan said as he paused for a moment, "There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. This young master can give you a bright future, but what you need to pay is your loyalty, your absolute loyalty."    

"We vow to follow the mayor to our deaths."    

Without the slightest hesitation, the voices of more than nine hundred people sounded out in unison!    

Seeing that, Teng Yan's face revealed a pleased smile.    

He believed that what these people said was all true. After all, the fact that they dared to take the Ouroboros Trial Pill before was already proof of their determination, and Teng Yan had some understanding of the situation in the Chaotic Capital. These people were all living in the lowest class, and they had already been oppressed and exploited to the point where they could not afford to let this opportunity slip by them.    

No one was a fool.    

One Body Refinement Pellet was more than enough for them to see hope.    

Of course …    

Everything still needed time to be tested!    

"Young Master Yan, your subordinate will take his leave first." Just then, the Xuanyuan Family suddenly spoke out.    

"Yes." Teng Yan nodded.    

After the warriors from the Xuanyuan Family left, Teng Yan then set his gaze on the people in front of him. At the same time, Chu Fei started to count the number of people. There were a total of 912 people, among them, there were one sixth stage pulse state and nineteen fifth stage pulse state; there were a total of 757 people whose pulse state were at the first to fourth stages, many of them were at the first stage of pulse state and all of them had broken through after consuming the Body Refinement Pellets; the rest were 135 people at the ninth stage.    

After obtaining the data, Teng Yan laughed bitterly.    

He was still too weak.    

Even though he threw out such a generous offer, he didn't have a single acupoint stage Ranker, but after thinking about his previous request, Teng Yan felt relieved. Even if a practitioner of level of concentration or even a practitioner of celestial realm didn't sincerely and sincerely want to rely on the City Lord's Palace, then even if they came, there was no meaning. Although the people in front of him were weak, Teng Yan believed that in the future, they would become a sharp sword in his hands.    

With a wave of the longsword, everything was swept away!    

Now that the City Lord's Mansion's power was gradually taking shape, what was missing was the presence of experts.    

Teng Yan thought about the beggar.    

Unfortunately, ever since the City Lord Tournament, the beggar seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Teng Yan had never seen him again, and the beggar also did not go to Xuanyuan Mansion.    

Teng Yan didn't know the reason, so he could only wait.    

Shua …    

No longer thinking about the beggar, Teng Yan's gaze landed on the people in front of him, and finally locked onto Wu Lai. Previously, Wu Lai had already pledged allegiance to Teng Yan, and Teng Yan had also asked him to recruit some people.    

"To... What orders does the City Lord have? " After Wu Lai heard this, he did not wait for Teng Yan to finish speaking before raising his hand and running out.    

"..." Teng Yan was speechless, and asked directly: "How many people did you bring?"    

"City Lord, everyone is here." Wu Lai pointed to the nine hundred and eleven people in front of him.    

"They're all here?" Teng Yan frowned, he looked at the 900 people in front of him, and then, his gaze landed on Wu Lai: "I know it's all here, but how much of it did you bring?"    

"Uh, including me, there's a total of 912 people." Wu Lai said weakly.    

"Oh …" "912 people..." Teng Yan said instinctively, but his expression instantly changed as he exclaimed in shock, "How much did you say?"    

"912 people, it's not a wrong number."    

"912 people? You brought all these people, and they're all your people? "    

"That's right."    

"…"    

"So it was more than that, but more than a dozen of them ran away just now …"    

"…"    

Teng Yan was speechless, Chu Fei was speechless, Han Xiaoliu and the other six were also completely speechless.    

Wu Lai and the others had originally wanted to join the City Lord Palace, so even if the City Lord Palace did not recruit anyone, they would still be here this time. It was just that Teng Yan did not want others to know that he had formed such a force in advance, so he brought his people here to register and join the City Guards.    

But the result?    

If not for Wu Lai, this time, Teng Yan would not have been able to recruit a single person.    

The corner of Teng Yan's mouth could not help but twitch slightly.    

Pit;    

This is too much...
