He revealed all the techniques he had practiced, the primary methods, the secret techniques and spells he excelled in, all in one breath.
He detailed precisely what realm he had cultivated to and the path he was best at pursuing.
He also recounted past missions, telling everything he remembered.
Yu Ziqing didn't focus on the missions; in the grand scheme, he already knew what was necessary.
Yu Ziqing was only interested in the cultivation methods and secret techniques.
He planned to look into which faction excelled in these methods, particularly if such a faction had recently declined or been destroyed.
Moreover, whether someone in their ranks had made a mistake during that period and faced execution.
Or even investigate among the Divine Dynasty to see which official had recently fallen from grace, whose family members might meet these conditions.
The scope of this investigation was already quite narrowed down.
Within this, there might lie the origin of the new No. Ten.
Similarly, it might also reveal the origin of other White Water Eggs.
"In recent years, have any other White Water Eggs committed serious wrongs and been executed or died violently outside? Besides the one King Qi tricked to death."
"Yes, No. 6. He made a grave mistake over ten years ago and was executed, though the exact reason is unknown."
"I understand. I will investigate these matters, so do not get involved; your involvement would easily be noticed."
Yu Ziqing dismissed the notion of the new No. Ten following through with the investigation.
These people were adept at clandestine actions but not at conducting broad investigations.
They didn't know Song Chengyue.
Yu Ziqing frequently beat up Song Chengyue's son, and Song Chengyue had to cheer him on, urging him to beat harder, offering medicine when his hand got sore.
"What tasks do you have recently?"
"The Peeling Boss has returned, reportedly from the void."
A beacon he left behind was located at one of his Life Temples, with an East Sea Demon carrying it.
Upon his return, he immediately transformed, manifesting two heads and six arms, brutally beating a giant shark demon to death.
I am now No. Ten, responsible for this area, and I have to track the movements of the Peeling Boss.
The best scenario is to uncover what he encountered in the void.
This could explain how he became even stronger than before."
"The Peeling Boss? He is even stronger than before?" Yu Ziqing's interest was piqued; he had long heard of this boss's reputation and wanted to meet him.
Before You Zhen could recover all his missing limbs, the most renowned figure in body cultivation Yu Ziqing knew of was this boss.
Moreover, according to sources, his strength was certainly among the top three in body cultivation.
Because many strong body cultivators had never faced each other, determining their strength relied on their combat records.
Simply put, it was measured by the lives of Qi Cultivation experts or great demons and great devils.
"The fact that he could locate the beacon from the void and return through it with precision distinctly sets him apart from typical body cultivators.
Even top-tier Qi Refinement experts, armed with numerous secret techniques and Magical Treasures, wouldn't necessarily achieve such precision.
Furthermore, after expending energy to return, he immediately demonstrated his Divine Skills, manifesting a thousand-foot True Body, then again his Divine Skills, manifesting two heads and six arms, battling a great demon for three days without showing any significant fatigue.
This was something he couldn't achieve in his previous encounters.
According to the information I gathered, he certainly gained some opportunity and might reach the Tenth Tier in the future.
The corpse of the great demon that the Peeling Boss defeated was discarded at the shore.
Pursuing the Peeling Boss is secondary; I aim to acquire certain materials from the demon's body.
Along the East Sea coast of Dali, the Qiguang Trading Company will certainly be involved."
"Have the Sea Clan and Demon Clan of the East Sea quieted down?"
"With the appearance of the Peeling Boss, all the Ninth Tier great demons retreated thousands of miles away, and Dali would not rashly send strong experts to pursue and kill a not overly offensive great demon, but the Peeling Boss would dare to do so, and now demons in the East Sea fear him."
"Ha..." Yu Ziqing couldn't help but laugh, seeing the rampant meet the more rampant, and the unreasonable meet the more unreasonable, unwilling to be beaten to death, they could only pinch their noses and yield.
For others, it's alright; those barefoot fear no shoes, they deserve it if beaten to death.
If they dared to retaliate, there'd be those who dared to take their lives.
And it seemed this boss particularly enjoyed beating great demons to death rather than quickly finishing them off with a single strike.
However, one must admit, the notoriety of beating a great demon to death far exceeds that of ending one swiftly.
"What materials on that great demon are worth such attention?"
"The hard bones on that great demon are not easy to obtain and require relying on the Qiguang Trading Company."
"Hmm, I understand. Go ahead with your work."
After saying this, Yu Ziqing hesitated and added.
"Always prioritize survival; when you're dead, nothing else matters."
The new No. Ten cupped his hands and solemnly said.
"Thank you, I understand."
Yu Ziqing also wanted a share of the great demon's corpse.
For body cultivators, great demon meat was an excellent nourishing material, much more effective than Spiritual Medicine.
Moreover, for the great demon as a whole, the meat was the cheapest part.
Abundant in quantity and relatively cheaper.
He certainly wanted to purchase some to nourish the folks at Jinlan Mountain, and he also needed it himself.
Progress in body cultivation was increasingly slow, relying merely on honing the body and refining Qi-Blood was too slow.
Nutritional supplements were most suitable for body cultivators.
If he aimed to purchase some great demon meat, it would be quite easy.
Dali would certainly extend some courtesy.
