Chapter 395: Chapter 395 Pure Yang Spirit Body Chapter 395: Chapter 395 Pure Yang Spirit Body The restlessness within the Wen Family, Xu Dong fully understood.

Such a situation placed upon anyone else would likely result in difficulty maintaining composure.

Therefore, Xu Dong did not mind the tone of the Wen Family Elder.

Upon hearing what Xu Dong had said, many in the Wen Family exchanged glances.

“Mr.

Xu Dong, do you know why the Commandery Prince changed the decision to appoint the Donglin City Lord?” Wen Lan asked in a concentrated voice.

“I do know something, although I’m not one hundred percent sure, but I do have about ninety percent confidence,” Xu Dong said, half-squinting his eyes.

“Please enlighten us, Mr.

Xu Dong,” Wen Lan and others all watched Xu Dong intently.

Previously, they had been discussing what could have made the Commandery Prince suddenly change his mind.

Wen Lan had also ordered an investigation, but now that Xu Dong said he knew the reason, if Xu Dong revealed it, then there would be no need for the Wen Family to investigate further.

“This matter should be related to Jing Yan.

Clan Leader Wen, you know of this Jing Yan, right?

The youngster from the Jing Family of Donglin City, who not long ago, passed the Heaven Array at the Three Major Academies assessment and secured the Golden Order,” Xu Dong said, his voice clearly carrying a trace of resentment.

It could be said that his resentment towards Jing Yan was deepening continuously.

If there was a chance to kill Jing Yan, he would definitely not hesitate.

Now, Jing Yan had indeed become a thorn in his side because, due to Jing Yan, the position of President of the Alchemist Association might fall into Liu Wen’s hands.

Liu Wen’s connections were originally not weaker than his, and now with Jing Yan, they were almost guaranteed the support of the Prince Manor.

This meant that the fight for the presidency was putting Xu Dong at a distinct disadvantage.

His reason for visiting the Wen Family at this time was to further incite the Wen Family’s hatred towards Jing Yan.

He knew the Wen Family had a feud with Jing Yan, and now he wanted to fan the flames of this anger even more to make it burn fiercer.

“We do indeed know this Jing Yan.”

“However, even if this young man secured the Golden Order and joined Dao Yi Academy, it still doesn’t seem enough to warrant such regard from the Commandery Prince, right?” Wen Lan gently shook her head.

“Exactly, just some twenty-year-old kid.

Not to mention he hasn’t even ascended to the Dao Spirit Realm, even if he had, would that be enough to make the Commandery Prince change an appointment?” a Wen Family Elder said disdainfully.

Xu Dong hearing this, shook his head with a smile.

“If it was just that, then naturally it wouldn’t have made the Commandery Prince change the appointment of the Donglin City Lord.

However, something else has recently happened, which I’m sorry I cannot disclose.

I can only tell you that Jing Yan did a great favor for the Commandery Prince, which led to the Commandery Prince owing him a favor,” Xu Dong said coldly.

Eyes of Wen Lan and others noticeably widened.

Although not confirmed, they all knew that Xu Dong’s words were true.

Otherwise, they really couldn’t find any other reason that would make the Commandery Prince change the appointment of the Donglin City Lord.

“That little bastard!” Wen Lan’s veins bulged on his arms.

“Dealing with Jing Yan is becoming increasingly difficult,” the Great Elder of the Wen Family sighed.

“I won’t hide it from you all.

I too, have a grudge against this little bastard, Jing Yan, and I too wish to kill him.

However, within Lanqu County City, killing this little bastard is extremely difficult.

He has somehow managed to even charm the Commandery Prince’s daughter, Bai Xue!” Xu Dong said with deep resentment.

“To kill Jing Yan, we must not rush!

Since he has connected with the Prince Manor, if we kill him, we must leave no evidence linking it to us.

This matter requires careful, long-term planning!” the Great Elder of the Wen Family said.

Killing Jing Yan had clearly become a top priority for the entire Wen Family.

Without putting Jing Yan to death, the Wen Family was likely to find no peace.

In the Prince Manor of Lanqu County City, Jing Yan’s living quarters.

Jing Yan had already absorbed the Dao Power from the Nine Yangs Connected Heaven Stele, mastering the methods of cultivating Nine Yangs Connected Heaven.

With the assistance of the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, his cultivation of Nine Yangs Connected Heaven was progressing quite smoothly.

However, the resources consumed in cultivating such a technique seriously alarmed Jing Yan.

In just a few days, he had used up resources equivalent to over a hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones.

Nine Yangs Connected Heaven was indeed immensely domineering.

It was no wonder that Zhou Tian, while cultivating this technique, had caused a mutation in his Primordial Energy, leading to erosion of his Martial Arts Meridians.

For Jing Yan, however, this was not a big issue.

With the operation of the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, Jing Yan’s control over his own Primordial Energy reached an extreme that ordinary Martial Artists could hardly imagine.

“Amazing!”

“The first phase of Nine Yangs Connected Heaven is ‘Pure Yang Spirit Body’.

Based on my current pace, it should take about a month to succeed,” Jing Yan mused silently.

The Body Refining Secret Method of Nine Yangs Connected Heaven consisted of three phases.

The first phase was ‘Pure Yang Spirit Body,’ the second phase called ‘Heavenly Dragon Spirit Body,’ and the third phase was ‘Undying Spirit Body.’

According to the information contained in the Nine Yang Linked Heaven Secret Method, if one could refine the ‘Undying Spirit Body,’ a Martial Artist could reach a state of immortality.

This seemed somewhat exaggerated.

Anyway, Jing Yan did not quite believe that a Martial Artist’s physical body could truly achieve immortality.

If it were true, he would be invincible!

However, Jing Yan did not need to ponder so much for now.

He decided to complete the first phase, the Pure Yang Spirit Body, first.

Based on Jing Yan’s estimation, if he wanted to refine the Pure Yang Spirit Body, it would likely consume more than a thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones.

A thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones was an astronomical number even for Martial Artists at the Dao Spirit Realm.

For Jing Yan, however, it was manageable, as he simply needed to refine more elixirs.

Additionally, the resources he possessed were more than sufficient to support his cultivation of the Pure Yang Spirit Body.

As for the effects Jing Yan expected to achieve after successfully cultivating the Pure Yang Spirit Body, he was extremely anticipative.

According to the information from the Nine Yang Linked Heaven Secret Method, if he could complete the Pure Yang Spirit Body, a Martial Artist’s physical recovery speed could reach a hundred times that of an ordinary Martial Artist.

How effective it actually would be, Jing Yan could not ascertain until he had accomplished it.

If it was as the secret method described, then the effects were indeed terrifying.

Injuries to the body could likely heal in a very short time without the need of any elixirs.

Time swiftly passed, and a month quickly went by.

In Donglin City, the Jing Family.

“Clan Leader!”

“Clan Leader, why have you summoned us?”

“…”

All the elders of the Jing Family gathered together immediately upon receiving the message from Jing Chengye.

“There is a matter—the Special Envoy from the Prince Manor of Lanqu County City is soon to arrive in Donglin City,” Jing Chengye said with a grave expression, looking at the elders slowly.

The Jing Family had long been waiting for someone from Lanqu County City, as the position of Donglin City Lord had been vacated for some time.

The new appointment would directly affect the core interests of the Jing Family.
