"Oh, Great Elder."

"It seems like our Zhu Family wasn't the only one having a bad day yesterday."

"From what I know, the Golden Core Zhang Family was also transporting goods at the same time."

"They too were ambushed by a Tier Three Demon Beast and ended up being completely wiped out."

"Even two Foundation Establishment Elders died."

At this moment, Foundation Establishment Elder Zhu Xi shared another piece of information.

"The Golden Core Zhang Family also got attacked by a Tier Three Demon Beast? And they lost two Foundation Establishment Elders?"

"Haha, good, that's really good."

"Serves the Zhang Family right for being unlucky."

"After all, not everyone is like our Zhu Family, able to get help from outside Golden Core Cultivators."

The Great Elder Zhu Bin burst into laughter upon hearing this news.

Because both the Zhu Family and the Zhang Family, the two Golden Core Clans, were blood rivals, with years of accumulated hatred.

Both parties wished for the other's demise.

This time, the sudden fall of the Zhu Family's Golden Core Ancestor had them most worried about the Zhang Family kicking them while they were down.

Fortunately, they found a new Golden Core patron this time, which resolved the crisis.

"Isn't that true? Who doesn't know the Golden Core Zhang Family is just a bunch of ungrateful villains."

"No matter how many benefits they receive, they are never grateful."

"If even slightly displeased, they lash out with harsh words."

"Before, our Zhu Family was tricked by them quite a bit."

Many elders of the Zhu Family were seething with resentment.

Clearly, the Zhu Family and the Zhang Family, these two major Golden Core Clans, used to have decent relations.

But with each conflict, their relations deteriorated further and further.

This is due to the Zhang Family's upbringing issues, filled with selfish and profit-driven people.

They stop at nothing to gain an advantage.

"But Great Elder, during this period, Tier Three Demon Beasts have been appearing frequently. Could a major calamity be approaching?"

Foundation Establishment Elder Zhu Yantong said with growing concern.

He felt that the recent frequency of Tier Three Demon Beast appearances was too unusual.

Usually, they are hidden in the deep sea.

But now, they frequently appear in the sea regions controlled by human cultivators.

This sort of thing is very unusual.

If a genuine calamity approaches, then even the Zhu Family might not be able to withstand it.

"Don't worry, even if a calamity truly arrives, it's the Divinity Transformation Zhao Family that will have to deal with it."

"It's not our turn yet."

"Of course, even if something does happen, we're powerless to do anything about it."

"For now, we'll just have to take one step at a time."

The Great Elder of the Zhu Family, Zhu Bin, said helplessly.

He knew that such situations were very unusual, but as a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, what could he possibly do? He could only go with the flow.

...

Late at night.

Zhu Family Island, Golden Core Mansion.

A silent chamber.

This was the place where Jiang Fan practiced, he sat cross-legged on the floor.

At this moment, he also cut open the Tier Three Golden-Scaled Sea Serpent, extracting the Sixth-Grade Opportunity from within.

It was a piece of dark golden token, with mysterious runes appearing on it.

Evidently, this Tier Three Demon Beast had somehow swallowed this token, which ended up in its stomach.

And it was unable to digest it.

"Could this token be a token from a Secret Realm World?"

Jiang Fan touched his chin, recalling the tokens he had previously obtained, which were passes to a Secret Realm World. Perhaps this token was the same.

However, perhaps the timing wasn't right, as this token showed no reaction.

Since it was a Sixth-Grade Opportunity, it was enough to prove the token's preciousness.

It would certainly make Golden Core Cultivators drool over it.

"Well, whatever."

"In time, I'll naturally understand the token's purpose."

Jiang Fan carefully stored the token, placing it into the internal space of the Exquisite Tower.

Following that, he took out a Tier Three Elixir, the Seven Star Pill, from his body.

This Seven Star Pill, after being refined by the Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace, had evolved from ordinary quality to perfect quality.

Boom~~

With that in mind, Jiang Fan didn't hesitate, immediately swallowing a Seven Star Pill.

Instantly, as the pill entered his stomach, it erupted with fierce medicinal power.

He activated the Mixed Element Talisman Scripture, quickly refining the medicinal power, adding strands of Golden Core Spiritual Power deep within his Elixir Field and Sea of Qi.

There was no doubt that this efficiency far surpassed his own refinement of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Just one Seven Star Pill could save him large amounts of time spent in arduous cultivation.

In no time, he was immersed in the cultivation process, continuously condensing Golden Core Spiritual Power.

...

Soon, half a year had passed.

Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei had been at the Zhu Family Island in the Black Dragon Sea Region for half a year.

They had thoroughly acquainted themselves with life in this sea region.

It could be said that their life here was quite leisurely.

After all, they were akin to the rulers of the Zhu Family Island, and with a single command, various services would be provided.

This was the advantage of controlling a Golden Core Influence, many matters no longer required their personal attention.

"Finally, I've improved the skill level of the Profound Turtle Talisman to the Proficient Level."

At that moment, Jiang Fan stood in a courtyard.

He activated the power of the Profound Turtle Talisman, immediately enveloping his body in a Spiritual Energy Shield.

His entire body became encased in a turtle-shell-like covering, with numerous turtle shell patterns appearing.

Countless Profound Turtle Runes appeared on the surface.

Compared to before, there were now two layers of Spiritual Turtle Shells.

Unquestionably, such defensive power had increased severalfold.

Moreover, the coverage of the Spiritual Turtle Shell had widened, capable of encompassing an area of a hundred meters.

This meant that the power of the Profound Turtle Talisman could protect not only himself but also others.
