Chapter 876: Return to Wind Moon, Investigating the Situation

This matter occurred in the Western District of the Southern Region. Logically, it had nothing to do with Qin Xiao, but the Wind Moon Sect was a familiar force after all, so Qin Xiao had sent scouts to investigate.

During this half-year, the Barren Lands had made no more moves against Qin Xiao’s clans there. His halt to expansion had also brought a rare peaceful period to the Immortal Domain. He had thought it might continue, until trouble struck the Western District.

Heavenly Fire Sect, the Western District’s great force, sent people to investigate the day after the attack. But the attackers disappeared quickly, and the investigators found little.

One thing was clear: they had attacked at night and abducted many cultivators. Their methods resembled those of evil cultivators.

There was another reason for the lack of information: no living witness had seen the attackers’ true faces. Almost everyone they targeted had died, and those who survived had disappeared.

That raid had been a one-time occurrence with no follow-up assault. Because every lead hit a dead end, the matter eventually faded into obscurity.

Seven Stars Tower had made rapid progress during this half-year. It had gained several Great Luo Realm experts, and their strength had grown considerably. The Myriad Spirit Book had produced one harvest each of Breakthrough Origin Pills and Emperor-Breaking Pills.

The Qiankun Academy had also forged an alliance with the Seven Stars Tower, becoming its closest ally.

This was largely because the Seven Stars Tower had developed so rapidly that it far surpassed the academy, leaving the Qiankun Academy unable to contend with it. Qin Xiao cared little for such matters; his ambitions were not grand, and he had no desire to dominate the Southern District. He only needed to secure what he required.

Now that his reserves were sufficient to sustain his subordinates and he possessed the power to protect himself, further expansion was unnecessary.

Tests showed that only the first Breakthrough Origin Pill directly raised a cultivator by one rank. Later doses provided a great deal of energy but could not grant another rank outright.

Qin Xiao’s plan to mass-produce top-tier strength had fallen through. Even so, he was not overly disappointed; being able to forcibly raise a Great Luo Realm expert by an entire rank was already a formidable feat.
