Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

In the valley, inside a newly built, exquisite two-story wooden building, three Martial Cultivators were comfortably seated on rattan chairs.

Guo Chui, the eldest son of the Guo Family, casually toyed with the Female Martial Cultivator in his arms for a while before looking up at the other two Martial Cultivators sitting on the rattan chairs.

"Brother Candle Dragon, Brother Ruo Feng, we've cleared out four Ghost Frog Communities and obtained four Ghost Frog Pouches. I'll take two, and you each take one. We'll split the Ghost Frog leg flesh equally. Do either of you have any objections?"

Feng Zhulong, the sixth son of the Feng Family, slowly chewed a piece of Ghost Frog leg flesh he had just put in his mouth.

"Brother Guo, you decide. After we deal with the remaining two large Ghost Frog Communities, I plan to visit the Xun Character and Kun Character gathering places. I won't be accompanying you both then."

Guo Chui smiled slightly.

"Brother Candle Dragon, you're going to the other gathering places to kill Demons, probably to take care of those who bet heavily on your family's stakes. I've heard that a member of the Yin Talisman Sect named Lin Xuankong bet an Exorcism Equipment and six hundred Qi Replenishing Soups, with a whopping 22-to-1 odds! But who placed the bets at the Kun Character gathering place?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhulong's expression changed, and he glanced at his subordinates outside the door.

Guo Chui smiled and said, "This isn't just hearsay. Anyone with a bit of sense could figure it out. Earning money from the Feng Family isn't easy! In fact, isn't everyone doing the same? Those thirty or so Martial Cultivators I killed—it wasn't just out of resentment. It was because they possessed Treasures but lacked the strength to defend them!"

After speaking, he raised a cup filled with Ghost Frog blood next to him. "I really appreciate Brother Candle Dragon's ruthless style! Cheers!"

Feng Zhulong smiled upon hearing this. "Brother Guo's decisive actions, I admire them too!"

Liy Ruofeng, sitting nearby, watched them. The two were smiling at each other, their expressions revealing a perverse camaraderie, and he couldn't help but frown inwardly.

This Guo Chui before him was thirty-four years old and, like himself, was at the Late Stage of the Fourth Layer. However, Guo Chui had brought one of his family's Treasures, the Kui Ox Drum, into the Demon-Suppressing Valley. This Treasure, passed down in the Guo Family for hundreds of years, though not made from the Kui Ox Hide of an Ancient Exotic Beast, was crafted according to ancient methods using the hide of a seventh-stage Evil Sheep. It was extremely powerful, even slightly superior to the Black Soul Wondrous Jade! With the Kui Ox Drum and Exorcism Armor, his ranking had soared to fourth on the Hero List!

However, the man's temperament was extremely violent. He acted purely on whims, his expression changing as swiftly as a dog's...

And Feng Zhulong, the sixth son of the Feng Family nearby, was also formidable. His Soul-Devouring Spirit Cat was invincible against both Martial Cultivators and Demons!

The martial world sees new generations replace the old!

It's just that these rising stars from prominent families are so unscrupulous when killing Martial Cultivators, even more ruthless than I, a Vice Hall Master of the Black Tiger Gang!

At that moment, a Guo Family Martial Cultivator hurriedly rushed in from outside the wooden building and said anxiously, "Eldest Young Master, four Martial Cultivators from the Han Family escaped while we were changing shifts! They... they also stole 2,000 pounds of Ghost Frog Flesh from the stone cave!"

"What?" Guo Chui, who had been smiling all along, suddenly turned grim. In a flash, he appeared before the Martial Cultivator and struck out with his palm, sending the man flying many feet away.

Feng Zhulong, holding the black cat in his arms, stood up with a frown. "Ghost Frog leg flesh is extremely precious. How could you be so careless and let them steal 2,000 pounds!"

Liy Ruofeng also stood up abruptly.

One-third of that Ghost Frog Flesh belonged to him. It was all spoils of war, obtained by their three families and the Martial Cultivators outside through fierce battles these past few days!

If consumed regularly, Ghost Frog Flesh could render Martial Cultivators immune to all poisons. Every pound could be exchanged for hundreds of pounds of other Demon flesh. Now, more than half of it had been stolen!

"Have you found any traces of them? Which direction did they flee?" Liy Ruofeng asked with a frown.

The Guo Family Martial Cultivator cupped his hands and said, "Judging by the footprints, they should have headed north, in the direction of the Xun Branch gathering place."

Guo Chui's face twisted with anger. "You! Take some men and depart immediately! Capture all four from the Han Family and bring them back alive. They must all be alive! I want them to know what it feels like to live a life worse than death! And as for the 2,000 pounds of Ghost Frog leg flesh, not a single pound can be missing! Get out!"
