The battle for the throne in Kowloon starts with the steady prince

Chapter 248 Heavenly God Realm, Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey (Seeking monthly votes and continued reading)
In the Fountain of Youth, Qin Changge circulated the Righteous Qi Creation Technique, his body becoming like a black hole, constantly absorbing the surrounding energy.

The water of the Fountain of Youth contains abundant energy, which Qin Changge continuously absorbs. As a result, the water is absorbed by Qin Changge as soon as it flows out.

In this way, Qin Changge, who was at the source, directly monopolized the entire Fountain of Youth.

Those who cultivated in the other outer ponds found that their cultivation was in vain.

At this moment, Lu Guzhou, the president of Xuanhuang Trading Company who had been observing the situation, was speechless. Although he had been mentally prepared for Qin Changge's talent to be remarkable, he hadn't expected it to be this terrifying.

"what's the situation?"

"Where is the Fountain of Youth?!"

"The Xuanhuang Trading Company must provide an explanation!"

Others who practiced in the Fountain of Youth raised questions.

You know, cultivating with the water from this Fountain of Youth costs tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones a day. Now they've come here only to find there's no water to absorb—isn't that a rip-off?
At this moment, Lu Guzhou stepped forward to appease these people, and then explained that a top-level figure was cultivating in the core area and had absorbed all the Fountain of Youth, which was why this scene had occurred. He asked everyone to remain calm.

Lu Guzhou gave a forced smile, and everyone present fell silent upon hearing this.

A top-tier figure, who monopolized the entire Fountain of Youth all by himself.

At this point, no one dared to say anything more; they were not in a position to challenge experts of this level.

Then everyone started speculating about who this person was. First, this person must be of a very high level, and second, their talent must be extraordinary, otherwise they couldn't have achieved this.

However, the group was destined never to know the answer, so they left the Fountain of Youth, intending to return later.

Many people were trying to break through using the Fountain of Youth, but now their breakthrough has been abruptly interrupted, leaving them severely disappointed. Yet, they remain angry but dare not speak out.

After all, the person who caused all this was a top-tier figure with terrifying talent.

Lu Guzhou breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Qin Changge's status was high enough to keep these people in check; otherwise, their Xuanhuang Trading Company would probably have had to lose a large sum of money to compensate them.

Lu Guzhou barely survived this ordeal, and then observed Qin Changge, wondering when Qin Changge would quit cultivation.

It's important to understand that Qin Changge monopolized the Fountain of Youth by himself. In a single day, he didn't even make a profit of 100 million high-grade spirit stones; in fact, he lost money. Since not making a profit is a loss, the daily losses were generally over 200 million.

Lu Guzhou's heart was bleeding, but as he said before, Qin Changge's status was high enough that the customers dared not say anything, and naturally, Lu Guzhou, as the seller, also dared not say anything.

One day passed, two days passed, three days passed.

With a boom, Qin Changge broke through to the early stage of the Heavenly God Realm.

In an instant, Qin Changge comprehended all the energy within his body, the range of his domain, and the ability to create things within his domain.

[Witness Qin Changge's breakthrough to the Celestial God Realm, Witness Points +100!]

At this moment, Qin Changge slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the gurgling Fountain of Youth, and nodded in satisfaction.

As expected of a rare and precious treasure, this Fountain of Youth is a high-quality energy source with absolutely no side effects and zero-loss absorption efficiency.

Qin Changge stood up, walked out, looked at Lu Guzhou who had been waiting for a long time, nodded and said, "Three days of cultivation, three hundred million spirit stones, right?"

Lu Guzhou forced a smile and nodded, saying, "Yes, this is what we agreed on beforehand."

It should be noted that Lu Guzhou could originally earn 300 million spirit stones a day from the Fountain of Immortality, but now that Qin Changge has monopolized it, he only generates 100 million spirit stones a day.

In other words, Lu Guzhou loses an average of 2 million spirit stones every day, which amounts to a loss of 6 million over these three days.

Even with Qin Changge's 3 million spirit stones, Qin Changge was originally going to give Lu Guzhou 3 million spirit stones in the first place, meaning Lu Guzhou would lose 9 million spirit stones. This was practically a losing proposition.

However, Lu Guzhou didn't dare to say anything, after all, Qin Changge's qualifications and status were undeniable.

Lu Guzhou clasped his hands in a fist and asked, "Is there anything else you need, Lord Supervisor?"

Qin Changge shook his head and said, "This is good enough."

Qin Changge did want to break through to the God King Realm, but the God King Realm required refining a Plane Embryo or absorbing World Fragments, neither of which Qin Changge possessed.

Therefore, it is likely that Qin Changge's cultivation will be put on hold for a long time to come.

Of course, because Qin Changge's talisman skills had broken through to the 15th level, he still possessed the combat power of a God-King, and he didn't need to fear other God-King level experts. Qin Changge returned to the capital and the Golden Blade Guard headquarters via the teleportation array.

At this moment, the entire Golden Knife Guard headquarters was in complete chaos.

Qin Changge frowned slightly.

Qin Changge had just returned to his office hall when a golden-sword constable approached him. This man was named Shen Hanchuan.

Shen Hanchuan clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qin Changge and said, "Reporting to the Chief Supervisor, during the three days you were away, the Chief Supervisor of the Eastern Depot came to summon you every day, requesting your presence."

Qin Changge frowned upon hearing this, not expecting the factory supervisor Zhu Wuyai to be in such a hurry.

Qin Changge nodded and said, "I understand, you can go now."

Shen Hanchuan clasped his hands in a fist salute and withdrew, while Qin Changge hurried towards the location of the Eastern Depot.

After all, the new emperor, Xia Wuchen, had clearly stated that the position of the Director of the Eastern Depot was above that of Qin Changge, the Director of the Golden Knife Guard. In other words, Qin Changge had to listen to Zhu Wuyai.

Since Zhu Wuyai had come to deliver a message to Qin Changge, Qin Changge had no choice but to go and pay him a visit.

In the main hall of the Eastern Depot's office, Zhu Wuyai sat in the main seat, looking at Qin Changge who was standing. He showed no intention of letting Qin Changge sit down, clearly treating Qin Changge as his subordinate.

Zhu Wuyai looked coldly at Qin Changge and said, "Chief Eunuch Qin, where have you been all this time?"

Qin Changge said, "I went into seclusion and made a small breakthrough in my cultivation."

Zhu Wuyai was already a master of the God King Realm. Looking at Qin Changge, he realized that Qin Changge had already broken through to the Heavenly God Realm, and then he was somewhat speechless.

It should be noted that Qin Changge joined the Golden Knife Guard for a very short time, and was only a Super Grade member when he joined.

Now that he's reached the Heavenly God Realm, Qin Changge's talent is simply outrageous. His cultivation speed is advancing by leaps and bounds, progressing by a thousand miles a day!

Zhu Wuyai thought for a moment and said, "It's normal to go into seclusion, but His Majesty needs people right now, so don't disappear so easily in the future."

Qin Changge clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Yes."

Zhu Wuyai said, "I asked you to clean up the interior of the Golden Knife Guard. How's that going?"

Qin Changge said, "Let's begin now."

Zhu Wuyai's forehead creased with annoyance. He hadn't expected Qin Changge to be so nonchalant, not taking his words seriously at all.

Qin Changge asked, "What advice does the Director have for me?"

Zhu Wuyai said, "Kill the chicken to scare the monkey. We need to kill that fat chicken. Do you understand?"

Qin Changge nodded and said, "I understand."

Zhu Wuyai smiled and said, "It's good that you understand. I hope you won't disappoint me and His Majesty. If you do a good job, you will be richly rewarded. Even world fragments and plane embryos are not difficult to obtain."

Qin Changge nodded and said, "Understood."

Qin Changge withdrew, left the East Depot's supervisor's office hall, and returned to the Golden Knife Guard headquarters.

At this moment, Chu Linfeng came to pay his respects. Looking at Qin Changge, Chu Linfeng said, "Did they send you to deal with me?"

Qin Changge nodded and said, "Yes."

Chu Linfeng said, "Then just expel me from the Golden Knife Guard."

Qin Changge was somewhat surprised: "Weren't you waiting for someone?"

Chu Linfeng said, "Waiting for someone doesn't require the identity of a Golden Knife Guard or Golden Knife Patrolman."

Qin Changge nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Chu."

Chu Linfeng waved his hand and said, "I advise you to leave as soon as possible. You can't stay in this place anymore."

Qin Changge nodded; he also felt it was time to leave.
