Pulling out the Black Dragon Sword, Qin Yuesheng immediately began a binge of the pills on the stone platform.

The wealth left behind by Bai Yue Sword Saint was indeed overwhelming, leaving Qin Yuesheng gaping in disbelief.

After setting down the last empty bottle, he stared at the figure on the super aid device—the All-Purpose Essence—and fell into contemplation.

126000.

No mistake, one hundred and twenty-six thousand, Qin Yuesheng had never seen so much All-Purpose Essence, it was simply explosive.

The hidden treasury of Bai Yue Sword Saint was indeed well reputed.

With this much All-Purpose Essence, Qin Yuesheng could accomplish many things.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the mountain peak within the clouds began fracturing and collapsing, causing Qin Yuesheng to lose his footing and fall into the crumbling section. Although he tried to steady himself with his Lightweight Skill, amid the surrounding falling rocks, even the best Lightweight Skill couldn’t offer stable ground. With the mountain collapsing, Qin Yuesheng was floating in midair, unable to escape unless he could fly.

...

Crash!

A wave pushed Qin Yuesheng outwards, and as he regained his senses, he found himself in an underwater scene, with the copper-cast Sword City silently crumbling underwater.

Without lingering, Qin Yuesheng immediately swam towards the surface. At top speed, he shot through the water like a dolphin, breaking the surface and soaring high into the air.

The bandit ship still stayed intact on the sea surface. As Qin Yuesheng landed precisely, the bandits looked up, surprised at his sudden appearance.

Judging by the headless corpses beside Soul-Catching Demon, clearly, some tried to defy Qin Yuesheng’s orders and escape, but ended up killed by Soul-Catching Demon.

"You’ve performed well; I admire people who listen obediently. From now on, be my subordinates." Qin Yuesheng said, placing the Black Dragon Sword, Dragon-Slaying Sword, and Celestial Demon Blade into the deck.

"Sir, Sir, why are you the only one to return?" A bandit couldn’t help but ask.

"That one-eyed dragon acted on his own and got into trouble. Why, do you have a good relationship with him?" Qin Yuesheng asked with deep implications.

"No, no, I’m just asking. That guy used to boss us around, I’ve disliked him for a long time. How could I be close to him?" The bandit quickly grinned in apology.

"From your group, pick two leaders at random. From now on, follow my commands, and I will lead you to become the strongest bandits on the East Sea." Qin Yuesheng stated.

The bandits dared not to disbelieve or believe this proclamation.

Everyone knew the most notorious force along the East Sea was the Twelve Linked Rings. Except for imperial navy ships, any vessel on the sea encountering a Twelve Linked Rings ship had to either pay or die. Brutally domineering.

Under these circumstances, seizing the Twelve Linked Rings’ dominance seemed impossible, yet with Qin Yuesheng’s demonstrated might, none dared show distrust, nodding in agreement while bowing to Qin Yuesheng, indicating allegiance.

Among bandits, loyalty meant nothing. If Qin Yuesheng hadn’t left Soul-Catching Demon to keep watch, they would have long sailed away, without any intention of saving the one-eyed dragon.

Without that leader, they could always elect another from their ranks anytime. Whether the one-eyed dragon returned alive was insignificant to them.

Quickly, two seemingly seasoned bandits were nominated. Upon inquiry, Qin Yuesheng learned their names: Zhao Quan and Guo Jiuqu, both Martial Artists trained in Outer Skin Refining. In the absence of the one-eyed dragon, they were the strongest aboard this ship.

"Sir." Both stepped forward, clasping their fists respectfully.

"Just call me Young Master from now on. You two will manage the ship, find the nearest water stronghold, and I will lead you to claim the first step in the East Sea." Qin Yuesheng instructed, then retreated into the cabin, sitting in a clean room, ready to indulge in the All-Purpose Essence freshly acquired from the hidden treasury.

Zhao Quan and Guo Jiuqu exchanged glances, immediately directing the bandits on board to begin acting, preparing for action.

If Qin Yuesheng said to find a water stronghold to capture, then a water stronghold to capture it is.

...

Wind God Legs, Thunder Control True Spell, Five Words True Statement, along with the Thousand Sect Swordsmanship just acquired from the hidden treasury.

Now, the skills on the super aid device had exploded in quantity. Without humility, Qin Yuesheng’s martial arts foundation allowed him to instruct others effortlessly, and offering anything to ordinary martial artists was a divine blessing.

First, spending 27000 points of All-Purpose Essence, he enhanced his current Lightweight Skill to Divine Skill level in one go.

[Walk a Thousand Steps, Ride the Wind]

Now, Divine Skill had become an old notion to Qin Yuesheng. With ample All-Purpose Essence, even the worst martial arts could become Divine Skills under his guidance. In the current martial world, few factions could match Qin Yuesheng in wealth.

Spending another 12000 points of All-Purpose Essence to elevate Wen Tianci’s top-notch Lightweight Skill Wind God Legs to Divine Skill.
