Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Chapter 358: Taking Dongping City by Storm - Part 1



With the death of the two infamous gangs, the following days in Dongping City were filled with tension and uneasiness.

All eyes were on the Celestial Heavenly Store and the city's prominent clans.

But to everyone's surprise, apart from the deaths of the two gangs, no further violence occurred in the city.

In the shadows, the Necoris and their affiliate clans were eyeing the Celestial Heavenly Store, searching for the hidden expert guarding it.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't detect him.

Meanwhile, as various dark forces were busy trying to uncover the hidden expert, the Celestial Heavenly Store's fame spread like wildfire.

It only took a day for everyone in the city to learn about the powerful new store. Many came to witness it firsthand.

Then, the Celestial Heavenly Store released another piece of news.

When the inhabitants of Dongping City heard it, they were stunned, and no one dared to believe it.

The news stated that if they contributed certain points to the store, they would have a chance to receive superior cultivation techniques and martial skills.

Why were the Necoris such a formidable foe for humans on the Magma Plain? The answer was simple: they had stronger innate bodies and a well-structured cultivation system.

In contrast, humans relied on certain clans and sects hoarding cultivation techniques and martial skills. The Necoris made these available to every member of their race.

For the rogue humans who were lucky enough to obtain a cultivation technique, it was often incomplete or ordinary.

Still, even an ordinary cultivation technique set stronger clans apart from weaker ones.

But now, the Celestial Heavenly Store had announced a challenge to this status quo.

Though most people didn't believe it, some curious ones still came to sign up.

It was then they realized the store needed three types of people: Blacksmiths, Adventurers, and Knights.

Blacksmiths were self-explanatory, but the notions of Adventurers and Knights were new to the people.

When they learned what an Adventurer and Knight were, they were slightly shocked.

Adventurers would not be bound to the store and could take missions from it.

As long as they completed them, they would receive a reward from the store.

As for the Knights, they would be bound to the store forever and would serve as guards and soldiers.

What set the Knights apart from the Adventurers was that they could enjoy the store's resources without going on missions and receive a complete inheritance. Read new chapters at empire

Though the rewards for becoming a Knight far outweighed those of an Adventurer, most people still opted to become Adventurers.

At the Celestial Heavenly Store lobby, a group of young men looked at the young man behind the counter, and one of them asked uncertainly:

"P-Please, we would like to become Adventurers, but first, can we see the cultivation technique?"

Yijun's back was drenched in cold sweat as he did not want to get on the bad side of such a mysterious store.

"Sure." The young man behind the counter responded calmly and took out a jade slip.

Hmm?

Yijun and his friends could not believe their eyes.

They had expected the young man to make things difficult for them and never expected him to agree so easily.

"Place it on your forehead," the young man commanded.

"A-Alright…" Yijun nodded weakly, received the jade slip, and placed it on his forehead.

Instantly, a stream of information flooded into his brain, and a miserable scream escaped from his mouth as he dropped the jade slip.

"What happened?"

"Are you okay?"

His friends, filled with worry and panic, surrounded him, trying to find out what was wrong.

Meanwhile, the young man behind the counter had taken back the jade slip and looked at Yijun, who was still in pain, without any change in his expression.

A minute later, Yijun recovered from the terrifying pain, and his gaze wandered to the young man behind the counter, filled with shock.

"A-Are they… real?" He could hardly believe what he had just witnessed.

A light smile played on the young man's lips. "Does it look fake to you? Besides, why would we deceive you?"

Yijun couldn't refute the young man's words.

Deep in his mind, he knew that what he had seen was a real cultivation technique, not the garbage sold in the market at an exorbitant rate.

His friends looked at him, unsure of what was going on.

What did he see in the jade slip that made him look as if he had just witnessed the most incredible thing in the world?

Seeing his friends' faces, Yijun knew no words could describe what he had just seen, so he asked them to experience it for themselves.

When they all saw the completed superior cultivation technique, each of them had the same expression as Yijun.

Without hesitation, Yijun and his friends registered as a team and took a mission from the store.

Even though the Desert Boiling was extremely dangerous, the prospect of cultivating such an extraordinary technique was too great to ignore.

Previously, when Yijun and his friends entered the store to verify the authenticity of the latest news about the superior cultivation technique, all the powerful clans in the city had sent their spies to keep an eye on the store.

Therefore, when Yijun and his friends left the store, they were accosted by various spies to verify the news.

The responses they received from them left them in shock, and quickly the various spies returned hastily to report to their masters.

With Yijun's group leading the way, many people came to join the store, choosing from the three occupations.

In a day, hundreds of people had joined the store, with most of them becoming Adventurers.

Still, the number of Blacksmiths and Knights was notable.

With hundreds of people confirming the authenticity of the superior technique, the city lord and various powerful clans could no longer remain calm.

As for the Necoris, they sent their fastest men to report to their commander about the latest discovery in Dongping City.
