I cultivate the Chaos Technique

A month later, the Yuntian Treasure Ship safely arrived at Jiayuguan, a key border town in Guizhou, and Zhang Yifan's reputation thoroughly shook the entire Tianyuan Continent during this period.

Since he slew two Bloodwinged Vultures at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm, this young cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm has become a legendary figure. Various factions, cultivators, and even ordinary people have all been praising this earth-shattering battle.

The Bloodwing Vulture is a ferocious beast that strikes fear into the hearts of all who hear of it on the Tianyuan Continent! It is enormous, with a wingspan of tens of meters, the edges of which are sharp as knives and gleam with a chilling light. Its blood-red feathers, as if soaked in blood, exude boundless killing intent and savagery.

This monstrous beast is not only terrifying in size, but also incredibly fast. When it flaps its wings and takes flight, it instantly transforms into a streak of blood-red light, traversing thousands of miles in the blink of an eye. Its flight ability is nothing short of freakish, allowing it to easily traverse towering mountains, raging storms, and other harsh environments as if they were uninhabited.

What's most feared is the Bloodwing Demon Vulture's formidable demonic power. This power is unfathomable, enough to make it invincible in battle. On the Tianyuan Continent, most demonic beasts struggle to break through to the Transformation stage, but the Bloodwing Demon Vulture has successfully advanced through its talent and hard work. It's important to understand that demonic beasts reaching the Transformation stage are already extremely rare, and those that have reached the mid-Transformation stage like the Bloodwing Demon Vulture are even rarer.

Once the Bloodwing Vulture enters battle mode, its full power is unleashed. Its terrifying demonic energy surges forth like a raging torrent. Even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator might not gain the upper hand in a direct confrontation. In fact, it could be said that the Bloodwing Vulture's true combat strength surpasses that of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators; a moment's carelessness could lead to certain death at its claws.

With his Golden Core Perfection cultivation, Zhang Yifan slew the two demonic beasts, directly challenging the understanding and conventions of many cultivators on the Tianyuan Continent. In just a few days, Zhang Yifan's reputation spread throughout Guizhou and even further afield.

When the treasure ship arrived at Jiayuguan Port, the welcoming crowd was exceptionally enthusiastic. Countless people stood on the port's edge, eagerly gazing at the vessel. Those who had traveled with Zhang Yifan on board rushed forward to greet him, expressing their respect and gratitude.

After all, Zhang Yifan was not only a hero who slayed demons, but also their protector. In the battle against the Bloodwing Vulture, many people on the ship witnessed firsthand how Zhang Yifan, with his Golden Core Perfection cultivation, defeated those two ferocious beasts.

"Young friend Zhang, you are indeed the pride of all of us Golden Core cultivators! So brave and fearless, your spirit is boundless!" An older cultivator stepped forward and bowed with clasped hands in reverence.

"Young friend Zhang, you truly live up to your reputation as a master at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. Your combat prowess is truly astonishing. If it weren't for your intervention, our journey would have been fraught with peril long ago," another cultivator with a profound aura said, his words filled with gratitude.

As the conversation spread, more and more people rushed forward, bowing and praising Zhang Yifan. At that moment, Zhang Yifan became a legendary figure in Guizhou.

However, Zhang Yifan's expression remained calm; he did not appear overly excited or proud by the praise. Although he felt a little satisfied deep down, he knew that his path of cultivation was still long, fame was only temporary, and his goal remained unchanged.

As these people departed, representatives from more astute factions quietly stepped forward. Among them were young masters from top-tier forces in Guizhou, elders from various sects, and high-ranking members of the Chamber of Commerce. Everyone understood that Zhang Yifan was no longer an ordinary Golden Core cultivator; his power was enough to attract the attention of any force.

Just then, Qiu Zhenhai and the others approached Zhang Yifan, Qiu Zhenhai's eyes revealing a hint of appreciation and admiration. As a senior representative of the Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce, Qiu Zhenhai knew that if a genius cultivator like Zhang Yifan could be recruited by the Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce, he would surely bring enormous benefits and prestige to the Chamber.

"Young friend Zhang, not only are you able to kill a mid-stage Transformation Realm demon beast with your Golden Core Perfection Realm cultivation, but your unwavering resolve is also truly admirable," Qiu Zhenhai said with a smile. "Faced with invitations from so many powerful forces, it is truly admirable that you can maintain your original intentions."

Zhang Yifan smiled slightly but did not answer immediately. He knew that although Qiu Zhenhai's words were complimentary, the more important topic was the following conversation.

Qiu Zhenhai paused, seemingly considering his words, before finally speaking: "In that case, young friend, would you consider joining my Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce? The Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce spans multiple continents, including Tianyuan Continent, Fenglin Continent, and Hanqi Continent, and is an extremely powerful commercial force. If you join, you will not only receive the protection of the Chamber of Commerce, but the Chamber of Commerce can also provide various preferential treatments such as resource support, magic weapons, and cultivation techniques."

The Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce's background and influence are significant not only in Guizhou but also throughout the entire Tianyuan Continent. If Zhang Yifan could join, the various resources and support provided by the Chamber would undoubtedly make his cultivation twice as effective.

However, Zhang Yifan remained steadfast. He understood that his most important task at the moment was to unravel the mysteries of his sect and find the whereabouts of his second senior sister, Lin Qingzhu. Cultivation was important, but he was not in a hurry to join any faction.

“Thank you for your kindness, Senior Qiu,” Zhang Yifan said calmly, “but I already have my own sect. Xuan Kongzi of the Lingyun Sword Sect in Qingzhou is my master.” His words were firm and unwavering.

Qiu Zhenhai seemed to have anticipated Zhang Yifan's answer, but still maintained a polite smile: "Since that's the case, I won't insist." He paused for a moment, then took out a golden token from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Yifan. "This is the Yunzhou Token specially issued by the Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce for distinguished guests. Holders of this token can not only enjoy a 20% discount at all the Chamber's treasure pavilions, but also have priority access to all the teleportation arrays on the Tianyuan Continent. This is the sincerity of my Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce, and I hope young friend Zhang will accept it."

A strange light flashed in Zhang Yifan's eyes. The priority use of the teleportation array was indeed very attractive to him. Especially now, if he could use it to travel conveniently to various places, it would help him find clues about his sect and Lin Qingzhu more efficiently. After considering for a moment, Zhang Yifan accepted the token and nodded slightly: "Thank you, Senior Qiu. I will keep this token safe."

Zhang Yifan declined Qiu Zhenhai's invitation but accepted the Yunzhou magistrate's offer. While this move did not completely deter various forces from courting him, it did establish a certain degree of relationship between him and the Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce.

With each rejection and acceptance, Zhang Yifan's reputation spread rapidly. Cultivators in Guizhou, and even elsewhere on the Tianyuan Continent, were buzzing with discussion about this young Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage. From slaying demonic beasts to facing recruitment offers from powerful factions, every step Zhang Yifan took attracted widespread attention. In terms of both strength and character, he was undoubtedly one of the best on the Tianyuan Continent.

However, Zhang Yifan did not stop there. Fame and status were not the end goal for him. He still had a goal in mind: to unravel the mystery surrounding him, find his missing second senior sister Lin Qingzhu, and seek justice for his sect.

Zhang Yifan knew full well that the road ahead would not be easy. Whether facing attention and temptations from various forces, or the upcoming challenges of cultivation, he was prepared to meet them all. Although his path might be fraught with thorns, he believed that he would eventually carve out a place for himself.

With this encounter coming to an end, Zhang Yifan embarked on a new journey. Behind him, growing expectations and attention accumulated, while ahead, the long road of cultivation still began.
