Whoosh!

The first treasure chest was sucked into Zheng-Fu's crystal dimension immediately. Then he turned to the second chest and prepared to open it. But then Jin-Tian who was sitting next to him all of a sudden got up, roaring and showing its teeth…

Roar!

Zheng-Fu who was about to open the second chest turned to look in the direction that Jin-Tian roared at instantly. He used his special sense to check what was it that Jin-Tian roared at…

Rustle!

As he tried to detect something in that direction, he could feel a strong kind of energy. However, a second later, that energy disappeared. Jin-Tian also stopped roaring the minute the energy was gone…

"What was that? The energy level was very high." Zheng-Fu said while crinkling his eyebrows with wonder…

He started to try to sense it again, but could not detect anything. Then he stopped paying attention to it because there was no attack or anything. Zheng-Fu started to turn back to look at the second treasure chest again…

Whoosh!

Squeak!

The second chest was opened instantly. Zheng-Fu did not see any jewelry there like in the first chest. Instead, he saw tons of big Qi energy stones in it. After he checked the stones, he found that they were all high-level Qi energy stones…

The high-level Qi energy stones were very expensive. From looking with bare eyes, Zheng-Fu speculated that there must be not less than 100 of them in the chest…

Whoosh!

Zheng-Fu sucked the second treasure chest into his crystal dimension immediately. He had opened two chests by far. There were about 10 more left. He looked at the rest of them and decided to keep them in the crystal dimension instead…

Zheng-Fu did not want to waste any more time opening all of them now. He intended to open them when he went back to the clan…

Whoosh!

After finishing with the treasure chests, Zheng-Fu started to walk back to the main trail again, so he could go to the next spot…

At the entrance of the Tian-Tang clan, Tong-Kuang continued to recruit new warriors according to Zheng-Fu's order. It had been four days now and the clan got about more than 700 new warriors. There were two of them that were at the fifth level of the Foundation Building stage. Four of them were in the fourth level. About 100 were at the third level. The rest were at either the second or first levels…

After being accepted into the clan, the new warriors were sent to Dan-Chun-Gu and Fu-Tao-Qi to receive more strength training. Many of them got to improve their energy levels not long after being recruited thanks to the new ways of learning that they received from the clan. A lot of them had their eyes on the mid-level fighting technique…

The Tian-Tang clan's power and troops started to expand quickly. It had now moved up to the fourth rank replacing the Mo clan. This was because the Mo clan had only about 800 warriors in the troops. And there were only three warriors that were in the Golden Core stage…

The first one in the Mo clan that was in the Golden Core stage was the leader of the clan, Mo-Xiang-Zhong. He was on the second level of the stage. The other two were the clan's Elders, which no one knew which levels they were in. The rest of the Elders in the clan did not possess high energy levels. Only the great Elder was about a half step to the first level of the Golden Core stage.

The next great Elder was at the ninth level of the Foundation Building stage. Some of the Elders were at the eighth, seventh, or sixth levels. The Elder council possessed even lower energy levels than Tong-Kuang's group…

At the grand hall of the Mo clan…

Bang!

"Darn it! How dare they say that we got beaten by the Tian-Tang clan!?" A middle-aged man stood up and pounded the armrest of the chair hardly. He was completely furious…

"Yeah! They looked down at us!" The guy who was next to the first man said in agreement…

"Calm down guys. That's why we're having the meeting today!" A thin middle-aged man who looked smart said while waving his hands to calm the first two guys down…

"Calm down!? How could you stand those people who looked down at us, Great Elder Mo-Liu-Bing!?" The first middle-aged man said unsatisfyingly…

Bang!

"Watch your mouth, Mo-Zhong-Li! Even though you are the Elder of the Monitor team, you can't speak like this to Master Mo-Liu-Bing!" The man who was sitting next to Mo-Liu-Bing pounded his armrest firmly before standing up and saying angrily…

"Tsk! How dare you speak to me that way, Mo-Tian-Dao? You're just the Elder of the Provisions. A cook like you should stay in the kitchen!" Mo-Zhong-Li said while looking down at Mo-Tian-Dao…

"You!"

"That's enough!"

All of a sudden, a loud shout occurred and permeated the meeting hall. It was from Mo-Xiang-Zhong. He could not stand the Elders fighting one another, so he had to shout out loud. Then he stared at everyone in the room…

Everyone's face turned pale when they looked at Mo-Xiang-Zhong. They were scared of him, so they started to sit down and keep their mouths shut…

"Why did you have to fight each other!? What's the point of doing that? What we should do right now is to send out people to spy on how strong they are!" Mo-Xiang-Zhong said with a hard eye…

"Respecting the leader of the clan! I had sent out our people, sir, but…" Mo-Liu-Bing said while making a sad face. Then he said, "…but those people never came back!" Mo-Liu-Bing was sad after he finished the sentence…

"No one is back!?"

Mo-Xiang-Zhong was shocked to hear that. He crinkled his eyebrows and said, "Are you implying that they all got killed!?" Then he looked at Mo-Liu-Bing curiously…

"Well… Yes, sir. I believe that they all got murdered because I haven't been able to contact any of them." Mo-Liu-Bing replied while cupping his fists…

"Sigh! Then let's talk about this later. It's all for today!" Mo-Xiang-Zhong said while sitting down. He waved his hands to let the people in the room go…

"Yes, the leader of the clan!"

The expansion of the Tian-Tang clan attracted the small clans who used to wish badly for the Tian-Tangs. They changed their mind and became interested in the clan. So, more of them started to visit the Tian-Tang clan. They came with gifts too in light of making friends with the clan…

Zheng-Fu had thought about this situation. He insisted to Mo-Zi that if these people came to the clan, everyone must welcome them as usual. He also told Mo-Zi to prepare a small troop of high-rank warriors to train in front of these people, so they saw how strong the clan was…

Time had passed quickly. The seventh day of the recruitment had come to an end. Tong-Kuang had accepted a total of 1,200 new warriors. It was indeed a startling number…

When combined with the previous warriors, the Tian-Tang clan had 1,900 warriors in total. Not only that, the first group of the new warriors had already improved their energy levels by two steps at most…

At one of the taverns outside of In-See City…

"Hey! Did you guys know about the recruitment of the new warriors at the Tian-Tang clan?" One of the middle-aged men said with a serious tone of voice…

"Of course. Who would not hear about this? I wanted to apply, but they only took the ones who were at the Foundation Building stage. So, it was no luck for me!" The guy who sat next to that middle-aged man said sadly…

"I heard that the reason why they recruited a large number of new warriors is that they want to fight to take the first rank!" Another man said firmly…

"Is that so? But I heard that they want to be the best in this region!"

Bang!

"Nonsense!"

All of a sudden, everyone heard someone pound the table loudly. It came with a big shout from the table next to the table of the middle-aged man. When the group of middle-aged men turned to look where the noise came from, their faces turned pale instantly…

It was because the one who pounded the table and shouted at them was a person from the Jia clan. It was the third-rank clan among the five influential clans…

"What kind of nonsensical thing you guys were talking about? The fifth-rank clan like the Tian-Tang clan is not that capable. It doesn't matter how many new warriors they have. They probably mostly are lower-level warriors." A man with a big body with scars all over said arrogantly…

"That's right, brother Jia-Hun! The Tian-Tang clan is just the fifth-rank clan. They can't fight the Jia clan like us. It would take 100 years for them to beat us!" A tall thin man with big teeth said imploringly to Jia-Hun. He even massaged Jia-Hun's arm…

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! You spoke my mind, big teeth! 100 years would be too fast.

They would take thousands and thousands of years!" Jia-Hun said while laughing with satisfaction. The people in the tavern did not want to mess with them, so they could only look at their tables…

Squeak!

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

Thud!

"Which dog was barking in the tavern? It was very annoying!"

All of a sudden, a beautiful woman walked in and sat down at the table not so far from Jia-Hun's table. She said all those words with a mocking gesture…

Bang!

"What did you just say!?" The guy with the big teeth said while pounding the table when he heard that. Then he pointed his finger in the direction of the beautiful woman fiercely…

Rustle!

"Wait, big teeth! Sit down. I'll take care of it." When Jia-Hun saw that it was a pretty woman with a sexy body, he rushed to stop the tall guy with the big teeth instantly. Then he turned to stare at the beautiful woman with a lustful eye. He said, "I have to apologize for my man, sister, for having no manner with you. Let me buy you a drink to say sorry to you.

Is that good?" Jia-Hun said while using his eyes to look at the woman like he had never met a woman before…
