"Mm!"

Zheng-Fu nodded slightly before asking about the cities and all the villages within the Heavenly Command Sect area, including the currency that most people used to exchange things. And last, he asked about the most powerful clan within the Heavenly Command Sect.

The young man explained to Zheng-Fu that in the Heavenly Command Sect, there were nine clans and fourteen powerful forces. However, the nine forces were under those nine clans, so there were only five big forces that did not directly belong to any clans. But they were just as powerful as those clans.

The nine clans were the Celestial Star Clan, the Heavenly Divine Memoir Clan, the Heaven-burning Flame Clan, the Heavenly Floating Cloud Tiger Clan, the Sacred Divine Thunder Fortress Clan, the Heavenly Aqua-Pearl Clan, the Sky Thunder-Heavenly Star Clan, the Heaven's Eyes Sky Opening Clan, and the Heavenly Command Saber Clan.

And the five big forces were the Heavenly Storm Wolf Force, the Ravaged Blaze Lion Force, the Heaven Commanded Beneath the Sky Force, the Heavenly Forest Force, and the Cloud Ocean Dragon Force.

These five forces and the nine big clans all had power in the Heavenly Command Sect. They all had great, skilled martial masters as the foundation of their forces. Without these people's existence, their power and strength would instantly diminish.

However, no matter how powerful the nine big clans and the five big forces were, they still could not be compared to the sectmaster and the Five Pillar Elders. Therefore, the strongest power still belonged to the Heavenly Command Sect. However, the main sect would not interfere with these clans and forces unless these people wanted to destroy the sect's foundation or cause trouble against the sect's rules.

As for the money the people used to exchange things, Tai-He said that they used Purple Heaven Crystals to trade. The low-level Purple Heaven Crystal used was only about the size of a thumb. As for the Purple Heaven Crystal that Zheng-Fu gave him, it was equal to the high-level Purple Heaven Crystal because the medium-level one was two and a half thumbs in size.

One medium-level Purple Heaven Crystal could be exchanged for a hundred low-level ones. And a hundred medium-level Purple Heaven Crystals were equal to one high-level Purple Heaven Crystal. That meant the Purple Heaven Crystal Tai-He obtained was equal to ten thousand low-level Purple Heaven Crystals.

"Then it means this Purple Heaven Crystal is not very difficult to find, right?" Zheng-Fu wanted to know further.

"Not very difficult but not easy, Master. Only the strong can possess a heavenly mine cave or heavenly waterfall foundation, which are the sources where the Purple Heaven Crystals are produced. A heavenly mine cave can only produce ten thousand to fifty thousand Purple Heaven Crystals a month. As for the heavenly waterfall foundation, it can produce up to one hundred thousand a month, according to the level of that foundation!" the young man hurriedly explained to Zheng-Fu. He knew that Zheng-Fu did not know anything about this world because he was a man from the lower world.

Zheng-Fu was quite surprised when he heard about the Heavenly Mine Cave's monthly output, which the dimensional space within his chest had this one. But what really shocked him was the heavenly waterfall foundation that the young man mentioned. What kind of place was it? And why was it able to produce so many purple heaven crystals?

"By the way, this Purple Heaven Crystal is also the currency used throughout this vast world. Every race uses Purple Heaven Crystals to trade. But that is only for those who are interested in the outside world. As for those who are closed off and not interested in the outside world, they all have their own currency. I don't even know them all!" The young man continued to explain that other sects and people all over the upper world also use Purple Heaven Crystals for exchanges.

"Thank you very much for telling me so many things. All right! You can go get some rest. I'll go out and explore my mountain!"

Today, Zheng-Fu learned a lot from Tai-He. And when he saw that a lot of time had passed, he excused himself to go out for a walk and let Tai-He rest.

"Master!" But before Zheng-Fu left the house, Tai-He called him and glanced at him as if he wanted to say something.

"If you have something to say, just say it." Zheng-Fu saw that and immediately realized it, so he told Tai-He to speak up.

"Can I follow you outside, sir!?" What the young man wanted to say was that he wanted to go outside with Zheng-Fu.

"It's up to you. If you want to go, you can go!" At first, Zheng-Fu thought that Tai-He might want something, but hearing that he just wanted to go out for a walk, Zheng-Fu did not prohibit him.

"Thank you, Master!" Tai-He hastily thanked him before getting up and hurriedly following Zheng-Fu out of the house.

Zheng-Fu went to the waterfall at the back of the mountain first because the two purple-winged lions lived in a cave behind this waterfall. He came to greet them and see if they were still all right.

In front of the waterfall...

Grrrrr!!! Grrrrr!!!

As soon as Zheng-Fu arrived at the waterfall, he signaled to call out the two purple-winged lions. Hearing the call, two purple figures quickly rushed past the waterfall before stopping in front of Zheng-Fu with a faint roar.

"The two of you can live here, right? I also thought you guys had to choose that cave as your residence. Not only is it safe from people's eyes, but it also has Heaven Energy as dense as my house. In the future, your energy level will surely be higher than this. And this little one will grow up quickly!"

Zheng-Fu said, stretching out his hands to kindly stroke the two purple-winged lions' heads as if they were part of his family. That made the two love and respect Zheng-Fu even more. Not only that, but their trust in Zheng-Fu also rose. And the moment Zheng-Fu turned and spoke to the little purple-winged lion cub, it reminded him of Jin-Tian when he was just a little monster beast. He was just like this little purple-winged lion cub.

Grrr!!!

The little lion cub felt as if it had been familiar with Zheng-Fu for a long time. At that moment, its eyes were suddenly filled with clear water, and it roared lightly and painfully.

'Master!'

This scene left Tai-He dazed for a moment because it was a rare scene to be seen.

As for the two purple-winged lions, no human had ever seen them as their friends or family. They could only be their servant monster beasts. But at this moment, they could feel the warm and sincere feelings that Zheng-Fu had for them.

"Well! Both of you can go now. But don't leave this mountain area!" Having finished greeting the two purple-winged lions, Zheng-Fu then led Tai-He to other areas to check if the entire area was still normal or not.

"Master, those two purple-winged lions are Master's commitment beasts, right?" Tai-He could not help but ask.

"They're my pets. I raised them freely without making any commitments to them," Zheng-Fu immediately turned back to the young man.

"Huh!? Raising them without making a commitment? How is it possible for Heavenly Golden Core stage monster beasts like these purple-winged lions to surrender? Then they can leave here at any time, Master?" The young man was shocked and could not believe what Zheng-Fu said to him was true. It was very strange for the monster beasts of such a high rank to obey someone who had a lower energy level than them. The fact that they were purple-winged lions made it even more improbable.

"If they want to flee, let them flee. But from what you've seen, do you think they'll run away from me?" Zheng-Fu did not know if they would run away or not, but he knew that now the mother and son purple-winged lions would not think of leaving because they put all their trust in him. Of course, Tai-He should have known when he saw Zheng-Fu with the two lions.

"Master is such a wonderful person. I'm so fortunate to have followed you!" the young man said happily. Following Zheng-Fu allowed him to not only be cured of venom but also receive a high-level Purple Heaven Crystal. Plus, this place was filled with a huge amount of Heaven Energy for him to cultivate.

"You don't have to compliment me that much. Well! Let's go back to the house. I'm too lazy to walk now!" Zheng-Fu actually did not want to come for a walk. He only wanted to see if the purple-winged lions were doing well because he was afraid they would leave as well. But when he saw that they were still here and obeyed his orders well, Zheng-Fu was satisfied. So, he decided to return to the house to practice his sword skill, which he had left unfinished.

"Yes, Master!"

Zheng-Fu and Tai-He soon returned to the house. Upon arrival, Zheng-Fu went to his room and ordered Tai-He to clean up and take care of the house for him because he would be doing closed-door cultivation for a week without going anywhere. And he forbade the young man to disturb him.

Seven days passed, in Zheng-Fu's house hall...

Boooooom!!!

"Wha… what… What happened?" Tai-He, who was cleaning the house, was startled when a loud noise rang out as a strong wave of energy hit him.

Creeeaaak!!!

Thump!!!

At that moment, Zheng-Fu's room door opened, and Zheng-Fu walked out with a satisfied expression on his face. Because in the past seven days, Zheng-Fu had been able to comprehend and advance the level of the Traceless Sword Skill to the intermediate step. Moreover, he had completely eliminated the flaws in this skill. And that had increased his Traceless Sword Skill proficiency level, too.

Originally, the content of the textbook said that once he had reached the intermediate step, all Heavenly Root stage cultivators would be unable to sense his attack. However, after Zheng-Fu fixed its defects, its properties changed from those recorded. Cultivators below the intermediate Heavenly Foundation Building stage cannot sense his attacks. Even the advanced-level cultivators would hardly perceive Zheng-Fu's attack because Zheng-Fu had a standard that exceeded that of ordinary people.

"Finally, I successfully completed practicing the intermediate-step proficiency level of the Traceless Sword Skill!"
