If he could truly gain the favor of the Jiang Family Head, let alone revenge, he could at least live a decent life.

With his current level in the Blood Refining Realm, seeking revenge was absolutely impossible.

Of course, he was not so naive as to believe that the Jiang family would seek revenge for him.

For now, he attended the old man with great caution. Over the years, he had fought with beggars for food and incurred the enmity of bandits, having suffered quite a bit. He had long since shed the airs of nobility he once had.

“From now on, every night, a car will come to take you to the Back Mountain for mentoring. Should there be any special arrangements, the butler will notify you.”

“Understood, Family Head.”

“You may leave.”

“Yes, Family Head.”

After coming out from the Back Mountain.

Li Yan’s back was soaked in sweat.

Given his standing within the Jiang family, he seldom had the opportunity to interact with the core members of the family, let alone encounters with someone as significant as the Jiang Family Head.

For some reason, whenever he faced the individual within the sect, he always felt as though he was being watched by some ancient fierce beast.

The thought of him exchanging moves with that individual.

Li Yan rolled up the sleeve on his arm to reveal a patch of reddened skin.

He hissed sharply as he inhaled a breath of cool air.

“The outside world says that the old man’s vitality is waning… If his vitality is really waning, yet he can still injure me to this extent, how strong was the old man when he was young?”

“A true master is indeed a master.”

Just then, a car arrived beside him.

The middle-aged butler stepped out with a smile, “Mr. Li, the old master has instructed that you will be transported by car from now on.”

Li Yan was taken aback by the unexpected favor.

…

Inside the Back Mountain Training Room.

Pei Jinye was indifferent to the quarrels outside; at this moment, he was cultivating Li Yan’s family technique.

After a moment.

He tried to increase his proficiency.

Soon, a line of text emerged on the attribute panel.

[Blood Refining Skill: Beginner 1%]

Before long, his proficiency steadily increased, reaching Beginner 50%!

Li Yan’s technique was aimed at the Middle Three Realm.

Focused on Blood Refining.

Li Yan had made it known that his family once had corresponding cultivation techniques for every level in the Lower Three Realm and the Middle Three Realm.

It’s just that the family’s techniques were nearly lost in a fire set by enemies. He only just remembered the Bone Forging and Blood Refining skills, and after years of wandering, he barely managed to step into the Blood Refining Realm with the support of the Jiang family.

…

“The person has been sent away, Master,” said the middle-aged butler as he returned to Jiang Qingcang’s side.

He reported in a low voice: “Young Master Xin Cheng has already taken action.”

Pei Jinye didn’t lift his head, feeling the changes in his vitality after his cultivation.

Blood Refining, Blood Refining, it’s all about tempering the blood.

Tempering every bit of blood in the body.

Blood Refining has three phases: one-blood, two-blood, and three-blood. Simply put, they are differentiated by the number of temperings.

Right now, what Pei Jinye aimed to achieve was to conquer his one-blood stage.

“Prepare the medicinal bath.”

Pei Jinye commanded.

The middle-aged butler quickly acknowledged the order.

“Wait,” Pei Jinye suddenly called out to him, “fetch two Blood Spirit Fruits.”

“Certainly, Master, just give me a moment.”

…

Fifteen minutes later.

Pei Jinye ate the Blood Spirit Fruits unhurriedly, waiting for the maids to test the water temperature in the bathhouse.

The middle-aged butler was personally responsible for arranging the precious medicinal herbs.

After waiting for a while.

The middle-aged butler then returned to the living room, “Master, everything is ready.”

“Give the order, I’m practicing my skills, and no matter what dire emergencies arise, no one is to disturb me.”

“Understood, Master!”

…

Everyone left.

Pei Jinye began the medicinal bath.

The medicinal water flooded over his body.

As Pei Jinye concentrated on running the Blood Refining Skill, he immediately felt the transformation in his acupoints.

It was as if his body’s acupoints had formed a kind of vortex, slowly absorbing the medicinal strength.

To call it slow isn’t quite accurate, because it was a large-scale absorption, and the rate at which the medicinal liquid was diminishing was actually quite fast… and at this moment, Pei Jinye’s vitality was also clearly affected, beginning to vibrate slightly… soon followed by severe throbbing.

The white steam rising quickly enveloped the entire room, while the indoor temperature was kept at a constant.

Thus, Pei Jinye himself didn’t feel cold in the slightest.

Moreover, with such a roaring vitality, he even noticed that his body temperature was rising rapidly.

At a certain threshold.

The blood inside his body finally began to boil violently.

Half an hour later.

Pei Jinye’s entire body had turned red and was even burning hot.

A great amount of vapor was shaken off.

But he paid no mind to these changes.

He was fully immersed in his cultivation.

Time flew swiftly.

When the effectiveness of the medicine had completely worn off, Pei Jinye’s entire body seemed as if it was about to dehydrate.

Blood Refining was different from techniques employed in the Lower Three Realm.

The latter focuses on the surface of the body.

However, starting from Blood Refining, it’s no longer as simple as refining the body with a punch.

This was Pei Jinye’s latest discovery.

Teacher Chang, always withholding, never mentioned this to him.

And the memories devoured from the Transcendents lacked this information as well.

At this moment, Pei Jinye noticed a line of text appearing on the attribute panel—

[Blood Refining: 25%]

“The results are quite good, continue tomorrow. In no more than four days, I will be able to step into the one-blood phase of the Blood Refining Realm!”

…

Soon after.

The lights went out.

“Big Dream for Thousands of Autumns” began to operate.

As Pei Jinye’s spiritual power was recovering, the night sky gradually turned pale.

…

Early in the morning.

Pei Jinye was awakened by the vibration of his cell phone.

For someone at his level, even the slightest disturbance in the room could alert him.

He took out his phone.

Pei Jinye cautiously scanned his surroundings, sensing no one nearby before turning his attention to the ringing phone.

His gaze tightened.

He was extremely vigilant.

The reason was simple: the phone call was from an unfamiliar number.

Yet, it had no indication of being a wrong number.

The next second.

The call turned into a missed call.

But before Pei Jinye could make another move, his phone was dialed again by the same number.

Pei Jinye answered, but didn’t speak.

The other party didn’t make a sound either; both fell into silence.

After a while.

A deliberately lowered voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Jinye, it’s me.”

Pei Jinye’s expression remained calm, seemingly not surprised, but his tone feigned surprise, “Teacher Chang? Are you… alright?”

“I… ah, Jinye, you should understand me. I’ve been framed,” Teacher Chang said in a low voice, sounding innocent and troubled: “I have no idea what happened, why someone would impersonate me… Jinye, can you believe me?”

Believe?

A cold smile played on Pei Jinye’s lips.

Old bastard!

Even if I haven’t really fought you, I wouldn’t believe that!

“I believe! I just knew it, Teacher Chang, you must have been wronged! I’ll go tell Ice Sister right away…”

“Don’t!” Teacher Chang quickly interrupted from the other end: “Right now, you are the only person I can trust; don’t contact Xiao Bingtan, she is with the Military Department. If you tell her, she can only follow the rules, and even if she trusts that I’m innocent, she can’t defy order.”

“Then, Teacher Chang, how can I help you?” Pei Jinye started to activate his Heavenly Calculation ability to track Teacher Chang’s location through his own phone.

Unexpectedly, the old fellow was also on guard. The call was placed over a secure line, meaning his actual IP address was not as it appeared, but was using at least dozens of proxies, mixing true and false in the mix.

This would be a problem for ordinary hackers.

Because decryption takes time.

But Teacher Chang didn’t leave such a long time when making this call.

Unless…

Teacher Chang cut to the chase: “Jinye, I need your help. Can you come over?”

Come over?

Go there to die?

Pei Jinye scoffed.

Not a word of truth in his mouth… “Hello? Teacher Chang? Can you hear me? Your signal seems pretty bad… Teacher Chang?”

There was a pause on Teacher Chang’s side: “Jinye, I can hear you, can you hear my voice?”

“I… it seems like… I… what? Teacher Chang? Can you hear me now?”

Teacher Chang suddenly felt a bit choked up.

“Jinye, can you come over?”

Probably Teacher Chang, despite all his plotting, didn’t expect that who he thought was a little lamb was actually a cunning old fox!

After dawdling for more than ten seconds.

Pei Jinye finally locked onto the other party’s location.

Unexpectedly, the old fellow was indeed bold.

He was actually holed up in the city center!

After three to five hours had passed, the Night Patrol Department still had no clue…

So it is said… the most dangerous place is the safest?

Pei Jinye attempted to use nearby surveillance cameras to lock onto Teacher Chang’s current image.

But the old man knew how to move.

He perfectly avoided the surveillance cameras nearby.

So at this moment, Pei Jinye could not determine Teacher Chang’s current situation.

If the old man was really at the end of his rope, then of course, he would unhesitatingly head for a killing spree.

But from the information he currently held, the old man probably still had a plan up his sleeve.

He began tweaking the nearby cameras, quickly switching to track.

“Jinye, are you listening?”

“I am listening, but Teacher Chang, what were you saying just now? I really didn’t hear clearly because the signal here is poor.”

The words from Pei Jinye made Teacher Chang feel somewhat defeated.

The laboratory had already been discovered, which was sad enough.

But now, having repeated himself more than ten times and still not being heard…

Taking a deep breath.

Teacher Chang suppressed the frustration swelling in his heart: “Jinye, find a more open space first.”

“Alright, Teacher Chang.”

Though they were separated by a phone call, Pei Jinye could almost see the weariness and frustration on Teacher Chang’s face.

But who cared?

“Jinye, could you bring me something to eat?”

“Sorry, Teacher Chang…”

Before Pei Jinye could finish his sentence this time, Teacher Chang had already learned to cut in: “The signal is bad again, is it? I’m asking if you could bring me something to eat.”

“Teacher Chang, please don’t get excited, I can hear you now, but what I mean is, I really don’t even have a bite of leftover food at home,” Pei Jinye said apologetically.

“Then bring me some fruits.”

“I don’t have any.”

“Snacks?”

“I don’t like snacks.”

“…”

Just as Teacher Chang was about to hang up the phone.

Pei Jinye suddenly spoke up: “Teacher Chang, I’ll bring you some rice balls from the convenience store.”

“That’ll do…” Teacher Chang pondered for a moment before saying, “Jinye, no need to buy too much, just enough to eat.”

“Don’t worry, Teacher Chang.” Pei Jinye paused briefly before adding: “By the way, Teacher Chang, where should I find you?”

“Spring Road, No. 13. If possible, hurry up, there’s a city-wide search going on.”

“Alright, Teacher Chang.”

The call ended.

But Pei Jinye had no intention of moving.

The old thief was indeed cautious.

Clearly, he was in the city center, yet he insisted on throwing out the decoy of being near the North Suburb.

He had no interest in making a wasted trip.

Instead, he began to meditate on the spot for about twenty minutes.

Then suddenly, he opened his eyes.

Pei Jinye stretched his face, preparing to dial a number.

It took two tries to get through.

Pei Jinye couldn’t help but think… Maybe this fellow deliberately waited for the second call because he hadn’t answered the first call?

“Teacher Chang, I am here, can you come out now?”

“Sorry, Jinye, I just moved to a new spot. Why don’t you come to Xijiang Road instead?”

“Xijiang Road? By the time I get there, it will almost be one o’clock.” Pei Jinye lay on the bed, finding a comfortable position, and continued the back-and-forth with Teacher Chang, both tacitly playing their roles.

It was Teacher Chang who first gave in a step, “How about this, you bring the stuff and head towards the Northern Ring Road, I’ll rush over there.”

“Okay.”

Soon afterward.

A familiar figure finally appeared in Pei Jinye’s “vision.”

He couldn’t help but stroke his chin.

“The injury isn’t severe enough…”

…

“Is this the Night Patrol Department? I’d like to report that there’s a person on Northern Ring Road who looks a lot like the criminal you’re hunting tonight… My name? Concerned citizen, Mr. Liu.”
