Transforming the false into the true, I am the only one in the world who possesses the true Dharma.

Xu Yan had 46 taels of life money left, but no matter how much life money he had, he had to improve his strength first.

The forces in Qingyang County are complex and intertwined. The Dust Sand Gang is full of ruthless characters. If he doesn't find a way to improve his strength, he will be facing a deadly crisis.

As Xu Yan's heart stirred slightly, a line of text appeared before his eyes.

[The Vajra Palm technique has been detected as fake. It will cost ten taels of life coins to transform it into the Vajra Subduing Demon Palm.]

[Convert or not?]

This is a palm technique from the Five Aggregates Realm, so the amount of life-giving gold required to master it is not small.

But for Xu Yan, this was money that needed to be spent and couldn't be saved.

"Transformation".

As Xu Yan silently uttered the word "transformation," the smoke in front of him reformed and transformed into new characters.

[Vajra Subduing Demon Palm (Five Aggregates Realm): Initial Mastery]

[Two similar cultivation techniques detected. The Vajra Subduing Demon Palm can devour the Bone-Corroding Palm and convert it into cultivation progress. Devour?]

This was the moment they had been waiting for. Without hesitation, Xu Yan quickly chose to devour the prey.

With a thought, the words disappeared again, transforming into new words.

[Vajra Subduing Demon Palm (Five Aggregates Realm): Initial Mastery]

[Cultivation can continue after consuming ten taels of life coins]

Xu Yan still had thirty-six taels of life-saving money left, and without the slightest heartache, he quickly chose to cultivate.

Subsequently, another ten taels of life-saving money were consumed, and the Vajra Subduing Demon Palm underwent a change.

[Vajra Subduing Demon Palm (Five Aggregates Realm): Initial Stage → Minor Success]

[You can continue cultivating after spending 100 taels of life coins.]

After this meal, only twenty-six taels of silver remained for Xu Yan, and he did not continue to improve his purse.

As the smoke in front of him disappeared, that familiar figure reappeared in Xu Yan's mind.

The phantom was practicing a set of palm techniques in the void.

As the illusory figure practiced, the palm techniques changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This set of palm techniques is fierce and powerful, without any subtlety, just like a tiger coming down the mountain to hunt its prey.

It wasn't until he had completed a set of palm techniques that Xu Yan grasped the essence of the Vajra Subduing Demon Palm.

The so-called Vajra Subduing Demon Palm transforms true qi into power, which is used to subdue the enemy when the palm strikes.

No matter how powerful your cultivation or how cunning you are, I have my own set of techniques that can subdue all your skills with sheer force.

Xu Yan took a deep breath and then dispelled the true energy within his body.

"If only I had more money to save my life."

Although that's what he thought, Xu Yan wasn't naive enough to believe that money would fall from the sky.

Although tonight's battle was relatively easy for Xu Yan, the all-night rush and the encounter with Crane Head had left him somewhat exhausted.

He didn't think about it anymore, blew out the oil lamp on the table, and fell into a deep sleep.

……

The next day.

The sky is bright.

As usual, Liu Sheng brought breakfast for today.

After Xu Yan got up, he ate with Huang Yuxian.

Huang Yuxian looked around, appearing hesitant to speak.

Xu Yan took in Huang Yuxian's expression, put down his chopsticks, and asked, "If you have any thoughts, you can say them directly. We are in a cooperative relationship, so there's no need to beat around the bush."

Huang Yuxian thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Actually, you don't need to work so hard. Your current identity is enough. After I recover from my injuries, we can take things slowly."

She had never seen someone who had risen from the bottom to have such a hardworking attitude.

Although the two were in the same boat, Huang Yuxian was slightly moved by Xu Yan's desperate efforts.

Xu Yan asked, "Are you willing to talk?"

Huang Yuxian shook her head slightly: "I will tell you everything after I recover."

Xu Yan took a bite of food: "If you don't want to talk about it, I feel insecure. I only feel secure when I'm working myself to the bone."

That's what Xu Yan said, but that's not all he meant.

If you don't risk your life, how will you earn money?

He's very self-aware; he's not like those protagonists in stories who shout, "I'm going to defy the heavens!"

Everything we have today is thanks to the True Revelation Talisman, and to continue using it, we must fight with all our might.

Whether it's dangerous or not, that's not important.

If you win, you keep climbing; if you lose, you die.

When Huang Yuxian heard Xu Yan say this, she knew that saying more would be useless.

Sometimes, Xu Yan's persistence far exceeded her imagination.

This is even beyond the level that a manager should be at, and he is even more outstanding than many geniuses in the prefecture.

With nothing more to discuss, Huang Yuxian stopped talking about it and continued eating, occasionally exchanging a few words with Xu Yan.

Just after the meal was finished, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Yan winked at Huang Yuxian.

Huang Yuxian understood immediately and quietly went into the inner room.

After the door was closed, Xu Yan said something to the outside.

"Come in."

The door opened a crack, and Yu Yingyue pushed it open and entered. Her face remained as cold as ice, but there was a hint of surprise between her brows.

After entering the room, she glanced at the table, sat down opposite Xu Yan, and pondered for a while before speaking.

"The wolf demons are all dead, where is the item?"

Xu Yan pointed to the wooden box in the corner: "It took me a lot of effort to bring it back. Since you know the wolf demon is dead, you must also know there is a corpse."

Yu Yingyue was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I didn't expect it to be one of our own people who did it, but since you've already taken care of it, I have nothing more to say."

"Aren't you going to investigate?" Xu Yan asked.

This matter definitely involves more than one person in charge; otherwise, they wouldn't have had the audacity to cooperate with demons.

However, judging from Yu Yingyue's expression, she doesn't seem to want to continue the investigation at all.

Yu Yingyue shook her head and said, "The Dust Sand Gang is a complex and intertwined group. If we continue to investigate, it will inevitably involve many relationships, which will be detrimental to me and others as well."

Xu Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Fine, since you don't want to investigate, then forget it."

He had no intention of keeping Yu Yingyue; he was still thinking about how to get more money and didn't want to waste time.

Yu Yingyue thought for a moment and said, "Tonight, the hall master will summon the managers of each street. It must be something very important. Remember to prepare."

Xu Yan was slightly taken aback, but after realizing what he meant, he nodded and said, "I understand."

The hall masters are the true high-ranking members of the Dust and Sand Gang. There are only three hall masters in the entire Dust and Sand Gang, and each hall master is in charge of ten streets.

Yu Yingyue said that the main person in charge of the hall was gathering the managers, which must be no small matter.

Xu Yan had no clues and could only find out the reason later.

Yu Yingyue was always a decisive person, and she left alone shortly afterward.

The room fell silent again.

Xu Yan thought for a moment, then went out alone.

There's no clue about the money for the life-saving purpose yet. Instead of staying here, we might as well go outside and see if we can make any new discoveries.

As Xu Yan walked out the door, the door closed quickly, and the room fell silent.

……

Time passed quickly, and night fell in the blink of an eye.

Canglong Street is an extremely prosperous street in Qingyang County.

At this moment, a middle-aged man was sitting in the largest building on the street.

The middle-aged man had eyes like knives, and he was toying with two iron balls in his hands.

Below them sat ten people, including Xu Yan.
