A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Many prominent families in the capital were destined for a sleepless night, as they needed to reassess their relationship with the Yin family.

Inside the Yin family mansion, there was a scene of jubilation.

Although it was late at night, Yin Huozun still prepared a table full of fine wine and food, expressing his deep gratitude to Chen Yang.

At this moment, an elder from the Yin family quickly entered and said, "Mr. Chen, Patriarch! The Peng family's assets have been fully inventoried! Among them, the Peng family possesses 8600 spirit stones, as well as numerous low-grade spiritual artifacts, magic weapons, and pills! As for their businesses, the most valuable are a pill and medicinal herb market and a forging shop—the value of these businesses cannot be immediately assessed!"

Yin Huozun looked at Chen Yang and said solemnly, "Mr. Chen, all these properties are yours! Furthermore, our Yin family is willing to give everything to express our gratitude to Mr. Chen. Please feel free to ask for anything you wish for!"

After saying that, Yin Huozun looked at Chen Yang, already prepared in his heart—even if Chen Yang asked for a spiritual treasure, he would have no choice but to give one away with a heavy heart!

Although those magical treasures were left by the ancestors of the Yin family, if Chen Yang had not sent them back to the Lord of the Yin family, the Yin family would have been destroyed long ago. Sending one of them away can be considered as repaying a great debt of gratitude.

Chen Yang spoke up, "Patriarch Yin, since you put it that way, I won't stand on ceremony! I want... all the spirit stones from your Yin family!"

Yin Huozun paused for a moment, then looked at Chen Yang with a puzzled expression.

Seeing his reaction, Chen Yang coughed and said awkwardly, "What? Does Patriarch Yin think I'm too greedy? Well... two-thirds will do!"

Yin Huozun quickly stood up and waved his hand, saying, "I don't think Mr. Chen is greedy! I just... I just thought Mr. Chen would ask for our clan's spiritual treasures! If he only wants spirit stones, then this gift is too light! It would make our Yin family seem too ignorant."

Chen Yang quickly said, "No, spirit stones will do! Also, give me spirit stones for all of the Peng family's assets and equipment."

Upon hearing this, Yin Huozun was even more grateful to Chen Yang, and he bowed deeply, saying, "I am very grateful for Mr. Chen's understanding!"

Immediately afterwards, Yin Huozun ordered the elders to bring all the spirit stones in the clan.

Soon, 15000 spirit stones were neatly arranged at Chen Yang's feet—8600 of them belonged to the Peng family, while the Yin family only had a mere 6000 spirit stones in total!

Although the Yin family is a first-class family, they had lived a very stifled life for decades. Most of the spirit stones accumulated by the family were used by the family members for cultivation in order to maintain their apparent strength.

Although it was less than Chen Yang had imagined, he was still content—especially since the Peng family's assets could be exchanged for spirit stones later!

Chen Yang and Yin Huozun chatted for a while longer, and soon they had a clear understanding of the general situation in the capital, as well as the power of high-grade spiritual artifacts and treasures.

Within this capital city, there are five first-class families, and three super-first-class forces that surpass the first-class families! The super-first-class forces are the Zhu family of the royal family, the Zhao family of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Sword Dao Pavilion.

Five first-class families and three super-first-class forces—these eight families all possess at least three spiritual treasures!

The spiritual treasure is incredibly powerful, enough to be equivalent to a strike from a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

However, spiritual treasures also have many limitations: some can only be used once or three times, some require spirit stones to recharge after use, some require time to recover, and some even require a member of the clan to sacrifice a life to activate each time they are used!

Besides spiritual treasures, high-grade spiritual artifacts are also important tools for various families to secure their survival!

The superior-grade spiritual artifacts are incredibly powerful, each one equivalent to the power of a peak Golden Body Realm cultivator!

Therefore, once a Golden Body Realm cultivator possesses a high-grade spiritual weapon, they can almost annihilate all cultivators of the same level—this is also the reason why Qin Yuwei dared to go to Qingzhou City alone to seek revenge on Xiao Daoyun last time, because she obtained the high-grade spiritual weapon Xuan Bone Tower from her master!

There are not many high-grade spiritual artifacts.

In comparison, mid-grade spiritual weapons are more common, and the power of a mid-grade spiritual weapon is equivalent to the combat power of the eighth or even ninth level of the Golden Fu Realm!

Chen Yang was asking about these things when suddenly he frowned and stood up abruptly!

Seeing his expression, Yin Huozun immediately asked, "What's wrong? Mr. Chen, what happened?"

Chen Yang nodded: "My monster has been attacked!"

After saying that, Chen Yang hurriedly left the hall and looked up at the sky.

He could clearly sense that his black-feathered eagle clone, which he had left in the air, was being attacked by a large golden eagle!

Chen Yang was very familiar with this golden eagle!

The last time he and Liu Qingxia were on their way from Qingzhou City to the capital, they were monitored by aerial monsters, and it was this golden eagle that was circling around them!

Chen Yang dared not be careless and quickly controlled the Black Feathered Eagle to fly towards the Yin family's courtyard. At the same time, he drew the Thundercloud Sword and frowned as he stared intently at the sky!

"Whoosh!"

The black-feathered eagle landed quickly and stood steadily in front of Chen Yang.

Two deep, bone-revealing claw marks appeared on its body, and the flesh under its feathers was turned inside out, dripping onto the ground mixed with blood!

Meanwhile, the enormous golden eagle in the sky was staring fiercely at the black-feathered eagle on the ground.

It circled once in the air, then stopped its pursuit. With a loud "caw," it soared into the sky and disappeared into the night.

Yin Huozun paused for a moment when he saw the black-feathered eagle standing behind Chen Yang, then asked in surprise, "Mr. Chen, is this your pet monster?"

Chen Yang nodded: "Exactly."

Yin Huozun said with a hint of envy, "So Mr. Chen is also a beast tamer. I admire you! However, Mr. Chen, you were lucky today. You must never let your pet beast fly in the air again, especially at night, and it must never fly over the capital!"

"As you just saw, that Golden-feathered Eagle is incredibly powerful, and also extremely volatile and domineering! It considers the skies above the capital to be its territory, and any demonic beast, even a sparrow flying by, will be swallowed whole!"

Chen Yang frowned, looking in the direction where the golden-feathered eagle had disappeared, and asked, "Patriarch Yin, do you know the origin of that beast?"

Yin Huozun nodded: "Of course I know! That Golden-Feathered Eagle is the pet beast of Venerable Jin Guang! Venerable Jin Guang belongs to the Prime Minister's Mansion and is the commander of the Wolf Cavalry Battalion, possessing immense strength! And his pet beast, the Golden-Feathered Eagle, is even stronger—it's said that its combat power is comparable to the ninth level of the Golden Body Realm! In addition, the Golden-Feathered Eagle is extremely fast and has an aerial advantage; even a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Golden Body Realm might not be able to handle it!"

Chen Yang narrowed his eyes, feeling even more displeased with the Prime Minister's residence.

Yin Huozun hurriedly warned, "Mr. Chen, you must be extremely careful! There were other beast tamers in the capital who kept flying beasts, but without exception, they were all caught and eaten by this Golden-feathered Eagle! Furthermore, the Prime Minister's Mansion is currently at the height of its power and influence. Once they find out you are a beast tamer and own a giant eagle, they will certainly not let you off the hook. Everyone has already tacitly agreed that the sky is the Prime Minister's Mansion's territory!"

Chen Yang nodded: "Thank you for informing me, Clan Chief Yin! The items have now been returned to you, so I'll be leaving now!"

Yin Huozun hurriedly asked, "Mr. Chen, where will I find you after the Peng family's entire estate is converted into spirit stones?"

Chen Yang said, "I'm staying at the City Lord's Mansion Guesthouse! Regarding the spirit stones, I'll trouble Clan Chief Yin to exchange them as quickly as possible, the sooner the better!"

Yin Huozun immediately agreed.

Chen Yang collected the spirit stones from the ground, and quietly left the Yin family residence with the black-feathered eagle.

After leaving the mansion, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although the number of spirit stones received so far is not particularly large, it is already far more than what the stingy Zhu Yuejian gave!

More importantly, Chen Yang was too embarrassed to ask the Yin family for too much—after all, he had already obtained a storage ring from the old patriarch of the Yin family and learned the lightning technique to kill the alien demons. Asking for too much would only make him seem greedy.

However, the Golden-feathered Eagle of the Prime Minister's Mansion is really annoying!

Chen Yang narrowed his eyes, a thought rising in his mind: Why not just kill that beast tonight! Otherwise, he won't be able to ride Little Black freely through the air anymore!
