Chapter 520: Chapter 520: Great Changes in the World
Yang Xiao announced to everyone that Kongming City has established a leadership group consisting of Xia Luo, Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, Long Yongjun, Zhou Qiang, Huang Wen, and others. Xia Luo serves as the leader of the group, and daily matters are discussed and decided upon collectively by everyone.
The next day, Monk Ben Yin brought five hundred experts from Shaolin Temple back to Xianan University for cultivation temporarily, and Xiao Lan also led the Shenming Mountain Sect back to Kongming Academy temporarily.
Lan Xin went to Yang City with Long Xiang and Huang Wen.
Yang Xiao stayed in Xiangfan City temporarily.
Gong Yu, along with Dai Peng, Huang Jun, and a group of former colleagues who came from Kongming City began to manage Xiangfan City.
Everything returned to its former tranquility.
Yang Xiao took Gong Yu and rode the Giant Eagle to Shenlongjia to visit Elder Shitou, Ah Yong, Wolf Claw, and other wild people.
The construction of the tribal valley where the wild people lived was basically completed, and over a thousand wild people began to relocate together. They even held a celebratory bonfire party, and Yang Xiao, called the God and Great Chief of the tribe, was surrounded by all the wild people and joined them in dancing the twist.
He brought several hundred magic weapons and equipment this time, and Ah Yong and others were very happy.
Yang Xiao introduced Gong Yu to Elder Shitou, Wolf Claw, Ah Yong, and the others, telling them that if he couldn’t come, Gong Yu would visit everyone regularly and bring Divine Medicine and magic weapons.
Gong Yu, seeing so many wild people in the valley for the first time, was quite surprised. Yang Xiao briefly told him about the circumstances, and Gong Yu snickered:
"Boss, aren’t you fooling these wild people a bit excessively as their God?"
Yang Xiao laughed:
"By helping the wild people achieve tribal unity, fairness among members, enhanced combat power, and an improved life, even if I’ve deceived them a bit with Divine Medicine and weapons, it’s still a big win for them. When you come regularly in the future, don’t bring too many Small Blood Pills and magic weapons at once, so you can keep a long-term hold on the tribal control, making them reliant on you. The Genetic Balls and magic weapons they obtain from killing monsters will also be handed over to you."
Gong Yu nodded.
After staying in the wild tribe’s valley for two days, the two returned to Xiangfan City.
As soon as Yang Xiao returned to Xiangfan City, Dai Peng told him:
"Boss, Gu Lin from the Genetic Store downstairs needs you to visit."
"Oh, what for?"
"Gu Lin, the shopkeeper, didn’t tell me the specifics."
Yang Xiao nodded, came out of the building, and entered the nearby Genetic Store.
"Shopkeeper Gu Lin, you were looking for me?"
Gu Lin smiled slightly and said:
"There’s news from above, saying that in one month, there will be a meeting in Wentian City for the Xuanming District."
"A meeting? What meeting?"
"The specific details of the meeting are still unknown to me, but the person presiding over the meeting has a high ranking, and it is the person in charge of the Xuanming District who will personally conduct it. Moreover, there won’t be many attendees at the meeting, only about forty, and more than half of them are already King Level Evolvers."
Hearing this, Yang Xiao felt a sinking in his heart.
"Are there so many King Level Evolvers in the Xuanming District now?"
"Hehe, recently, wars of amalgamation between different areas have surged. Your consolidation war of Xiangfan is just a small ripple. Du Tianxing of Magic City, Gu Beifeng of Wentian City have already consolidated several provinces, and the king of Qingyun City has annexed the Eastern Province. The rulers of Treasure City and Crescent City have allied, and the South King has already reached the Yaslan Empire..."
Hearing Gu Lin’s words, Yang Xiao was quite shocked. It seems everyone has been busy; my own achievements are quite minor compared to theirs.
Gu Lin continued:
"Originally, you didn’t qualify to attend this meeting,"
Yang Xiao was stunned, looking at Gu Lin.
Gu Lin smiled:
"You haven’t even unified Kongming City, and North City province is just occupied by Xiangfan and Shenlongjia. Your Evolution Level hasn’t broken through Advanced Enhanced Gene. Frankly speaking, you are the weakest participant in this meeting. However, Gu Bo, the owner of the Genetic Store in Nanmu City, highly recommended you to attend the meeting. Based on your performance, an exception was made to give you this opportunity."
Yang Xiao felt disheartened, muttering, what kind of meeting is this that even makes an exception for me?
"What, is it about continuing training in Genetic Transformation Technique?"
"Hehe, probably not. The specific content of the meeting has not yet been disclosed, I can’t say either. I am just notifying you that in thirty days, you can come here, or go to Gu Bo in Nanmu City, and we will open the temporary teleportation channel to Wentian City for you."
Yang Xiao left the Genetic Store, found Gong Yu and Dai Peng, Huang Jun, and briefed them on the situation.
"Boss, what do you think it will be?"
"The last time I attended the meeting in Magic City was for training in Genetic Transformation Technique. This time, I feel it’s unrelated. It’s likely regarding the governance of Xuanming District, and moreover, those attending are rulers of large districts, more than half of whom have already reached the King Level Evolution Stage."
Hearing this, Gong Yu and the others were all shocked.
"So many King Levels?"
"Yes, I heard from Gu Lin that the city wars have been frequent recently, with everyone annexing each other and desperately collecting evolution resources. I am the one with the lowest evolution level attending this conference."
Gong Yu and the other two were stunned, staring at Yang Xiao.
"Boss, in the past few days, Xia Luo and others have pooled resources, so we should focus on hunting in Shenlongjia during this time, striving to break through to the Enhanced Gene Advanced level before you go to Wentian City. This matter relates to the future of all of us and cannot be taken lightly."
"Um, I was just about to discuss this with you. Starting tomorrow, Gong Yu will take a thousand people to hunt in Shenlongjia, Dai Peng and Huang Jun will be stationed in Xiangfan, and I will temporarily return to Nanmu City to cultivate Ancient Martial Arts."
Hearing this, Dai Peng and Huang Jun immediately responded:
"Boss, when can we also cultivate Ancient Martial Arts?"
Everyone had seen the extraordinary Ancient Martial Art skills of Yang Xiao, Gong Yu, Monk Ben Yin, and Lan Xin. They envied nothing more than their movement techniques.
Yang Xiao thought for a moment and said:
"Well, this time when I return to Nanmu City, I will ask Master Ben Yin to send several high monks from Shaolin Temple to Xiangfan to teach you the secrets of Ancient Martial Cultivation. This way, you don’t need to run around, and once the situation stabilizes, you can concentrate on practicing at the new Shaolin Temple base in Kongming City."
Dai Peng and Huang Jun were immediately excited and said:
"Great!"
Yang Xiao left the Giant Eagle with Gong Yu and returned to Nanmu City, heading straight to the Genetic Store to find Gu Bo.
Seeing Yang Xiao, Gu Bo smiled and said:
"Hey, it’s been a few days, and now that you have annexed Xiangfan and Shenlongjia, impressive!"
Yang Xiao responded with a distressed look:
"Don’t mention it, you should know about the conference held in Wentian City, right? I heard I have the lowest evolution level of all the attendees. Sigh, I heard it was you who strongly recommended me to go, what’s the point of me attending like this?"
"Hehe, although you have the lowest evolution level, you’re not the lowest in combat power. This conference is very important; it’s good for you to go and see."
Yang Xiao glanced around the Genetic Store lobby, which was not very crowded, and then spoke in a low voice:
"Could you reveal what the purpose of this conference is?"
"Hehe, Gu Lin didn’t tell you, so you came back to this old man?"
"You see, Gu Lin and I just met recently, how can it compare to our relationship? Besides, I’m about to transact 60 million Crystal Coins with you again, I came to you for this deal."
Yang Xiao had long known that the Genetic Store could gain extra benefits from each transaction.
million Crystal Coins was no small sum.
Gu Bo chuckled and said:
"Kid, you’re actually threatening me."
"Not at all, look, I’ve already spent one billion Crystal Coins on upgrades to Enhanced Gene Advanced, all transactions were with you, right? Our relationship, do we need threats?"
Gu Bo laughed heartily and responded:
"Alright, I’ll give you two words then, don’t ask more, just think about it yourself."
"Uh?"
"Combat!"
"Combat?"
Gu Bo smiled, changed the subject, and said:
"It’s been a long time since you played chess with me, shall we play a game?"
"Sure."
Yang Xiao and Gu Bo played three rounds of chess, naturally, all were lost by Gu Bo.
With something on his mind, Yang Xiao stood up to leave.
Suddenly, Gu Bo said:
"You haven’t trained your spiritual power for a long time. If there’s nothing else, how about coming over every night to play three games of chess?"
Yang Xiao was surprised and nodded,
"Okay."
"Also, although Ancient Martial Cultivation can greatly enhance your combat power, don’t forget that genetic evolution is the foundation, and Ancient Martial Cultivation is secondary. Don’t confuse them, especially since you will soon face evolvers above the King Level."
"Oh?"
"Continue to persist in practicing the Genetic Transformation Technique."
After saying this, Gu Bo turned and walked behind the counter to attend to his own business.
