Chapter 567: Chapter 251: The Mine’s Secret Cache, Black Fire Association, Bone Face

Xu Guang silently studied the Secret Technique of Beast Taming given to him by Ning Zhiqiu in the room. This could be considered a Cultivation Technique, but what was strange was that taming the beast did not require food supplied by the owner, but rather some residual marks left on the main beast.

The effect was straightforward and brutal: taming a symbiotic beast to accompany the main beast could significantly increase the growth rate of the main beast.

Together with the Secret Technique of Beast Taming, there was a beast egg.

Ning Zhiqiu said that she had consulted people from the Five Institutes to identify it. It was a Tooth Dragon Beast Egg, but it already showed some signs of petrification, vaguely retaining traces of life. Hatching it would not be easy.

Xu Guang, however, had a few methods. One was to nurture it with the Life Force produced by his own Divine Techniques. Another was to stimulate the beast egg with the aura of General Wei. The last was to wait for the True Blood in some time.

All three methods seemed viable, but Xu Guang did not act rashly. The life force of this beast egg was too weak, and unless he was certain, he would not take action lightly.

However, despite the simplicity of this Secret Technique, he indeed saw a hidden profession within it.

At this moment.

A noise came from outside.

"Let me in!"

Du Dayong, with a look of despair, charged towards the town’s government office without care.

Lei Hai intercepted him with his men, "What do you want?"

Du Dayong looked at Lei Hai with anger in his eyes, "Lei Hai, didn’t you say Yiyi would be fine? Why hasn’t she returned until now?"

Xu Guang’s Divine Thought flashed, scanning over Du Dayong. A Fifth Grade Martial Artist, considered a master in Qingzhen Town, but still not qualified to barge into the government office alone.

"I want to see the young master! I know the young master is here."

Du Dayong continued to shout.

A shadow had already crossed Lei Hai’s eyes. He stepped forward and captured Du Dayong. A Third Grade suppressed a Fifth Grade, effortlessly.

"Who do you think you are? Seeing whoever you want? Take him down!"

Du Dayong’s face was still full of anger, but he was helpless.

"Have someone keep an eye on him, drive him out, and make sure he doesn’t come back."

Lei Hai ordered in a low voice.

Then he clapped his hands and walked into the town’s government office with his hands behind his back.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Xu Guang somehow standing at the door, his expression immediately changed.

"Young Master Xu... Why have you come out?"

Xu Guang looked at him with a smile that wasn’t a smile, "What’s this? Am I not allowed to come out?"

"No... It’s just... the mining area is chaotic, full of dirty business, it would tarnish your eyes." Lei Hai said in a low voice.

Xu Guang didn’t say much, just quietly watched him.

"What was that person doing?"

He was somewhat curious. From Lei Hai’s way of handling things, he seemed like a petty crook with no scruples, yet he merely chased Du Dayong away when he caused trouble.

This was quite interesting.

Lei Hai was taken aback, his eyes shifted, then he spoke.

"Du Dayong used to work in the mines, but... sigh, my uncle thought highly of him. Unfortunately, he can’t keep it in his pants and got involved with a barbarian woman. My uncle was kind and just drove him away, unexpectedly, the bastard had some fortune and ended up joining the Aoki Sect, yet he remains obsessed. I really can’t see what’s so good about that barbarian woman."

"Do you think he should thank you?" Xu Guang asked with a smile.

Lei Hai scrutinized Xu Guang’s expression, seeming to want to discern his true attitude.

Yet he found nothing.

He replied a bit uneasily, "That’s not necessary, as long as he understands the good intentions of my uncle and me."

Xu Guang neither agreed nor disagreed.

"What’s the background of Aoki Sect? Isn’t it something you can’t provoke, even with the backing of the Golden Bull Chamber of Commerce?"

Lei Hai quickly said, "We’re not afraid of the Aoki Sect, the power in the town can handle it, but the Aoki Sect recently became an affiliate sect of the Black Fire Association in Gale City..."

Gale City, one of the seven satellite cities of Beiji City, the strength of the Black Fire Association is very strong, at its peak it could be compared with the Gu Family of Aotian City.

Of course, the Black Fire Association has now declined somewhat.

However, Xu Guang had gained a general understanding of the Aoki Sect. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

For instance, it’s probably equivalent to the Iron Armor Sect in Qingshuo County back in the day, with the Black Fire Association behind it being somewhat akin to the Song Family.

With this comparison, Xu Guang was even more surprised by Lei Hai’s actions.

Currently, the Golden Bull Chamber of Commerce is at its peak, not to mention the Aoki Sect, even the Black Fire Association behind it would not dare to offend them, yet Lei Hai said he was worried about offending the Black Fire Association.

Xu Guang was intrigued, the uncle and nephew Lei Dong and Lei Hai must have another hidden truth, which prevents them from wanting to provoke the Aoki Sect.

Is it because they are hiding some secret, afraid to let the people from the Golden Bull Chamber of Commerce come and check?

Xu Guang didn’t make things difficult for Lei Hai, just left with a smile.

Lei Hai wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead, feeling that the Northern Emperor Institute was indeed as unfathomable as rumored, and the pressure and aura that the disciples there gave him were no less than the experts from the Golden Bull Chamber of Commerce in the past.

...

"Uncle, that dog Du Dayong came again today, he really thinks we’re afraid to touch him!"

Lei Hai’s face was gloomy, carrying a murderous aura, showing none of the humility he displayed in front of Xu Guang during the day.

Lei Dong’s face was equally dark as water.

"He knows someone is coming from the Golden Bull Chamber of Commerce, he wants to force us into submission."

"Should we just kill him?"

Lei Dong didn’t answer, but merely asked, "What did Xu Guang say?"

"I told him we can’t afford to offend the Black Fire Association behind Du Dayong, he didn’t say much."

Lei Dong fell into deep thought.

After a moment, "Contact them, we can no longer handle this matter."

A trace of excitement flashed in Lei Hai’s eyes. He nodded vigorously.
