Those with ability are welcome everywhere.

    Wen Tingyun is like the chief steward in the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department, admired by everyone.

    At this moment in the Capital Demon Suppression Department, Wen Tingyun also stood out among the crowd.

    Among the Jing''an Guard, Wen Tingyun is an indispensable figure, having even interacted with people from the Observatory, making them willing to offend the Grand Commander just to recruit him.

    Wen Tingyun pointed to Han Zheng beside him and said, "This time it''s not about me, it''s my friend here who wants to ask Elder Wei for help."

    Wei Tianqi sized up Han Zheng and suddenly let out a surprised "Oh."

    "What''s the matter?"

    Wen Tingyun asked curiously.

    "You are wearing the Profound Gold Swallowing Lion Armor, and your Qi Blood Power is startlingly strong. You must hold a significant position within the Demon Cleansing Bureau, right? What''s your position?"

    Wei Tianqi suddenly asked.

    Han Zheng replied, "I am the Grand Steward of the Jing''an Guard."

    Wei Tianqi''s expression became even more surprised, "The Chief of the Thirteen Guards, the right-hand man of the Grand Commander of the Demon Cleansing Bureau? That''s quite a high position of power.

    But your face shows the standard destiny of a ''Four Wastes'', even with signs of early demise.

    Even if you defy death by luck, in this lifetime you are destined to be frail and sickly, a curse to your parents, always beginning without finishing and failing to achieve greatness.

    The only way out is to become a monk or a Taoist, borrowing the power of Dao and Buddhism to resist calamities, but the best result is still to live a lonely and drifting life.

    Yet you are young and powerful, in a high position. Could it be you joined a major Daoist or Buddhist sect like the Heavenly Gate or Xuankong Temple, and someone changed your fate against the heavens?"

    Han Zheng chuckled awkwardly twice, "I have never joined any major Daoist or Buddhist sect; however, I have killed quite a few monks and Taoists." Sear?h the Novёl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "That''s really strange. I''ve seen many who defy fate, and while destiny is determined by heaven, it''s not uncommon for man to triumph over heaven and change destiny.

    Yet, someone like you, who''s changed so thoroughly and drastically, is rarely seen."

    Yan Xuankong also read Han Zheng''s face before, saying he had signs of violent premature death, but he wasn''t as thorough as Wei Tianqi.

    It seems this chief elder of the Observatory is not only extremely skilled in secret techniques but also very adept in the art of destiny reading.

    "Alright, follow me first."

    The main hall of the Observatory was empty, appearing quite deserted.

    Wei Tianqi led Han Zheng and others into an array, and with its activation, they found themselves in a side hall full of various chaotic books.

    "Now, tell me, what do you need me to do?"

    Wei Tianqi casually gestured for Han Zheng and Wen Tingyun to find a place to sit.

    Han Zheng took out the Blood God Seed, saying, "This is the Blood God Seed of the Blood Demon Sect, transformed from a drop of essence blood of the Ancient Nether River Blood God. I wanted to refine it but found it ineffective, and I wanted to ask Elder Wei if you have any solution."

    Wei Tianqi exclaimed, "God Demon Blood? You managed to obtain this?"

    Wei Tianqi took the Blood God Seed and, after observing and researching it for a while, said, "You''ve found the right person, as ordinary people can''t refine this.

    The power of the Ancient Gods and Demons is unimaginably strong for martial artists of today.

    Essentially, humans and gods are worlds apart, so trying to refine God Demon Blood through normal channels is nearly impossible.

    However, I happened to have researched Ancient Blood Demon Flesh and developed a method for refining it.

    First, you need a source of power similar to this Ancient God Demon to exist.

    This divine blood belongs to the Nether River Blood God, so you must first seek the original cultivation technique of the Blood Demon Sect."

    Han Zheng said, "That''s not a problem; I''m already cultivating the Blood Demon Sect''s original cultivation technique."

    Wei Tianqi clicked his tongue and said, "You''ve prepared well. The second condition is having an extremely powerful physical strength.

    To accommodate divine blood in a mortal body, if physical strength is lacking, the body will be torn apart by the divine blood''s power.

    Seeing your abundant Qi blood, your physical strength must be immense, so there''s no need to worry about this.

    The third, and most crucial step, is that I need to use certain means to lower the power of the divine blood so that you can refine it."

    Han Zheng was surprised and asked, "Aren''t we putting in all this effort to strengthen the divine blood''s power? Why lower it?"

    Wei Tianqi retorted directly, "I''ve already said that the power between humans and gods is worlds apart. You cannot refine divine blood now. If the power were increased, what would you use to refine it? Your life?

    Only I can use a secret technique to lower this divine blood''s power to a level a martial artist can handle, thus allowing you to refine it."

    "Forgive my ignorance, I will follow your instructions, Elder Wei."

    Specialized matters should be left to professionals, and Han Zheng decisively conceded, no longer arguing.

    Wei Tianqi snorted, "Consider yourself lucky. Lowering the power of divine blood is very strenuous. If it weren''t for Little Wen introducing you, I wouldn''t bother with you.

    Furthermore, even when the power of divine blood is reduced, it remains an unimaginable existence to you.

    According to my research, gods and demons were born from primordial chaos when heaven and earth first opened, so this drop of divine blood also contains the origin power of the world.

    If you could refine this divine blood and comprehend the Heaven and Earth Power within it, it would be enough for you to reach the half-step Yang God Realm."

    Han Zheng''s eyes immediately lit up with surprise.

    Don''t underestimate Han Zheng''s current immense power, capable even of contending with true Yang God Realm experts.

    Yet, he is still only in the True Pill Realm, without comprehending Heaven and Earth Power, and has not touched the threshold of the Yang God Realm.

    Once Han Zheng reaches the half-step Yang God Realm and touches that threshold, with his accumulation, he could step into the Yang God Realm at unparalleled speed.

    There''s still quite a bit of Soul Crystals within the Taotie Furnace collected after slaying Yang God Realm Martial Artists; these are used to cultivate and nourish the Yang God.

    "However, don''t celebrate too soon, young man. Little Wen should have told you that my services aren''t cheap."

    Wen Tingyun chimed in, "Elder Wei, saying that is a bit unfair. I helped complete your cultivation technique last time, and now, you''re asking for more compensation?"

    Wei Tianqi snorted, "Little Wen, you know how busy I am at the Observatory. Agreeing to help this young man is already generous of me.

    Additionally, I don''t require much. The various materials and arrays needed to lower the divine blood''s power are available here, and he doesn''t need to provide anything.

    However, the last step requires a unique treasure called the Xuanpin Pearl, an essence of creation used to connect different attribute Heaven and Earth Powers.

    This item is not available in our Observatory, so you''ll need to provide it. Afterward, the Xuanpin Pearl will belong to me, as you won''t need it.

    If you agree, leave the Blood God Seed, and I will begin processing. As long as the Xuanpin Pearl is delivered within a month, I can facilitate the refining for you immediately."

    Han Zheng promptly nodded and said, "Thank you, Elder Wei. We will proceed as you suggest."

    Seeing Han Zheng agree so straightforwardly, Wei Tianqi couldn''t help but glance at him in surprise.

    Those who hesitate when seeking favors are the most annoying.

    Han Zheng''s decisive agreement made Wei Tianqi find him much more pleasing.

    "Alright, since that''s settled, prepare the Xuanpin Pearl. Remember, it must be in place within a month, or the prior processes and even the divine blood might be wasted."

    Wen Tingyun said, "Then we will take our leave."

    Wei Tianqi sneered and waved his hand, "Go on, go on. Next time you come looking for me, bring good news, like wanting to join the Observatory or something."

    Wen Tingyun smiled lightly and led Han Zheng out. Outside the Observatory, Wen Tingyun asked Han Zheng, "You agreed so readily. Aren''t you worried about that old Wei Tianqi cheating you?"

    Han Zheng replied leisurely, "I trust not Wei Tianqi, but you.

    If Wei Tianqi would trick me, you surely wouldn''t."

    Wen Tingyun was slightly stunned, then suddenly revealed a bright smile.

    When she initially favored Han Zheng, it was not only because Han Zheng could get things done but also because Han Zheng knew how to conduct himself well.
