Returning all the way.
Jiang Shi felt an indescribable sense of exhilaration in his heart.
He only felt that his body was filled with an indescribable power. His body leaped swiftly and lightly, making a whooshing sound, even more agile and quicker than before.
He had a feeling as if he had transford into a swimming fish.
And that this entire world had beco a vast lake.
The swimming fish moved freely within the lake, unrestrained, with the powerful Power of Heaven and Earth constantly washing through his flesh and blood, altering his physique.
Very soon.
Jiang Shi returned to White Dragon City again, eyes narrowing as he once more witnessed the eerie situation within the city.
The people of various factions were on edge, filled with tension.
On the streets, groups of Sea Whale Gang disciples could be seen running back and forth.
So small and dium-sized families and forces were the sa.
Many streets were strewn with paper money; it seed many people had died.
"It looks like sothing major really happened during the ti I was in seclusion?"
Jiang Shi thought to himself.
He observed carefully for about ten minutes before leaving again, heading directly towards the Sea Whale Gang Headquarters.
As long as Yuan Fuhai didn’t co looking for him, he wasn’t interested in getting involved.
Staying in one place to silently develop is better than anything else.
The Holy Spirit checkpoint had been breached, and it wouldn’t be long before he could perhaps Enter the Saint Realm for the second ti.
···
Not long thereafter.
Jiang Shi entered the Sea Whale Gang’s Scripture Pavilion once again.
"Does Steward Jiang want to exchange for the Profound Extre Heart thod?"
The Guardian Elder asked in surprise.
"Yes, check how many Contribution Points I have. If it’s not enough, I can make up for it with silver notes!"
Jiang Shi responded.
"The Profound Extre Heart thod can’t be supplented with silver notes. Within the gang, the Profound Extre Heart thod is very rare and can only be exchanged with Contribution Points, no other way."
The Guardian Elder shook his head.
"In that case, exchange it for an ordinary Super Grade Heart thod."
Jiang Shi suggested.
Anyway, an ordinary Super Grade Heart thod. Even a Holy Spirit Level expert can cultivate it.
At most, he’ll study several volus and rge them later, which should definitely result in a Profound Extre Heart thod.
"That is possible."
The Guardian Elder nodded, retrieving the ledger book to check, saying, "Steward Jiang made a great achievent at the gambling house last ti, helping the Gang Leader capture a group of nefarious characters, earning you 1500 Contribution Points from the Gang Leader. Steward Jiang is short by 500 Contribution Points, which ans you need to supplent with fifty thousand taels of silver."
"Okay!"
Jiang Shi nodded directly, taking out the silver notes he carried with him.
"In that case, Steward Jiang, please proceed to the second floor to browse. The Super Grade Heart thods are all on the bookshelves to the east."
The Guardian Elder smiled.
"Thank you."
Jiang Shi expressed his gratitude and imdiately headed upstairs.
Allowing him to browse by himself was best.
This way, he could use his photographic mory to record more Heart thods.
Soon, Jiang Shi found the location of the Super Grade Heart thods, saw nurous books stacked together, and began leafing through them unceremoniously.
His Insight Talent was deployed again.
His eyes seed to turn into torches, discerning the contents of the books with perfect clarity, rapidly recording the Secret Manuals in his mind.
About half a stick of incense later.
He casually took out a Secret Manual of the Red Sun Scripture and began transcribing it.
"Elder, I take my leave."
Jiang Shi bowed and said.
"Go ahead."
The Guardian Elder waved lightly, saying, "By the way, the gang has been sowhat unsettled lately. Has Steward Jiang heard?"
"I’ve been in seclusion all this ti, so I haven’t heard exactly what’s going on. Does the elder know?"
Jiang Shi’s heart stirred.
"Forget it, I don’t know either. I thought Steward Jiang might be inford."
The Guardian Elder shook his head.
"Alright then."
Jiang Shi was helpless, imdiately turning to leave, once more heading back to the gambling house.
···
Half an hour later.
Jiang Shi had returned once more to Sanfu Gambling House.
But upon just arriving, he saw a large crowd on the street, heads covered in mourning cloth, scattering paper money, carrying a huge coffin, walking through the street, attracting countless onlookers.
Sounds of sobbing and discussions mixed into a chaotic scene.
The gambling house’s shopkeeper was wearing a gloomy expression, dressed in a Blessing Robe, standing at the entrance, looking out with eyes like daggers.
"Shopkeeper Cao, why aren’t you inside attending to business? What are you doing here?"
Jiang Shi’s deep voice suddenly sounded, his body descending from the sky, landing in front of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper’s face changed, quickly bowing.
"Steward Jiang, you... you’ve co out of seclusion? When was this?"
"Not long ago."
Jiang Shi’s face was indifferent as he said, "What has been happening in the city recently? Why is everyone so anxious?"
"I was just about to report to the Steward."
Shopkeeper Cao quickly began to speak, softly whispering in Jiang Shi’s ear, recounting all the major events in the city over the past period.
"White River Gang?"
"Yes, Steward."
Shopkeeper Cao’s face was grave, murmuring, "Now, the White River Gang has clearly officially gone to war with us. Experts from both sides are engaging in mutual assassinations. During this ti, seven or eight important elders in our gang have died, and other small and dium-sized powers that rely on us have all suffered devastating attacks. Of course, the White River Gang has it worse, their experts have died more frequently, and this turmoil will likely continue for a long ti. Did you see the crowd carrying the coffin on the street? They are also from a faction affiliated with our Sea Whale Gang. As a result, their Patriarch and direct bloodline were all killed overnight."
"It’s that serious?"
Jiang Shi frowned.
"Yes."
Shopkeeper Cao nodded repeatedly.
Because the war between the two gangs was not conducted openly, the fighting also had no regard for principles.
