Day 46- 72 Growing Forces

The fighting continued for a few minutes before changing. Mr. Shi's body did not regenerate quickly anymore. It was proportional to the Lightning and Thunder attacking Rexford. The fact his Tribulation increased the power of his target annoyed him greatly.

'Such a weird Tribulation. Here I was expecting just to deal with Lightning attacking my body and soul, guess I can't have it too easy.' Rexford was glad for his clothes holding up. Definitely need more improvements to it though. 'The Space barrier is breaking apart, have to finish soon.'

Letting the Black Gold Sun Art loose made a powerful aura of Blood Energy around him. Too bad, it revealed his cultivation too easily. No one needs to know he was at the Transcendent Realm. Besides his forces of course.

"Die brat!" The possessed Mr.Shi was looking like a mess. From his back, tentacles shot out towards Rexford. "I will strangle you to death!" Rexford ran through the appendages directly toward his opponent.

*Fwip!* The stretched-out tentacles curved to chase after him. His opponent was too enraged to think correctly. Rexford controlled the floating Maser Hands to wrap around Mr.Shi. Spinning him in place with the appendages wrapping him up tightly.

The Master Hands gripped Mr.Shi tightly. Rubbing his hands together caused them to the same. Each rubbed containing scorching heat between it. Pieces of Earth rising up from the ground mixing in.

Combined with the intense heat and pressure, a few created crystals started to appear. Each crystal captures a bit of the soul of Mr.Shi radiating Black and Gold Qi. Leaving the Evil Spirit inside the body trapped.

"Now you can take care of him." Rexford said to Wu Shanhe. Looking up, the Space Dome was getting ready to break. Not before another bolt of Tribulation Lightning came down, however. "I refuse to die again!"

The Left hand struck the Lightning before exploding into qi. The backlash cut through Rexford's soul like a hot knife through butter. Teeth rattled, he dug in and struck with the Right hand.

Grim determination flickering in his eyes.

*Bzzzt!* The Lightning destroyed the Right Hand as well. Rexford pushed his vast qi to the limit. It flooded out like a Giant Tsunami in the sky. The bolt of Lightning was completely engulfed and ground away.

"Ha..ha.. ha.. shit!" Rexford almost collapsed to a knee but resisted. The powerful Qi generated was immediately absorbed by himself and the Black Gold Vortex. The people in the Aspect Space benefitted from it as well. "Memo to self, my Breakthroughs are nowhere in way shape, or form as normal to others."

Almost beckoned now, the area was devoid of normal QI. Containing a richness that needed to be taken in. Which Rexford was doing as he processed everything.

Instead of the remaining guests fleeing, they sat down to compose themselves. Those in shape stepping from regular fitness into that of The External Strength Realm. Old Internal Cultivators moving from Internal Force Initial Sucess (C) into that of Phenomenal Sucess (B).

"This is most troubling." Yanyan Hu said. She kept a watchful eye over everyone as they made breakthroughs rampantly. "If Master Rexford can do this by accident, then if he does it on purpose a Dangerous Force would be generated quickly."

"I have it covered." Chang Wen said. Both she and A'Xiu whispered to one another forming a quick plan to mess with the masses. They waited until the people came to before proceeding. "My Master Mingyun is sorry about everyone getting caught up in this."

"To fix any Mental problems you may have developed from this, it was best to offer some compensation. I am sure most of you already feel the changes of overall increased energy. Also thinking clearer." A'Xiu followed up.

A few were but some muttered they were about to be killed. After all, what they saw could get them killed outright. Most Sects that they heard of would have done this. Bad things up going to Illegal Auctions always a chance you may die.

"You don't have to worry about that at all!" Master Hu shouted. He was no longer a fat boi and was now in relative shape. Looking around with a commanding presence, he took charge of the attendees. "We won't disappoint Master Mingyun! Will we!?"

The others understood what Master Hu was doing. Better to shut up and follow his lead for now.

"See that you don't." Wang Chen stated. She signaled to Yanyan Hu and Wu Shanhe. The latter knows more about how to deal with people in this region. "Wu Shanhe will help instruct everyone who needs it. Feel free to contact him with questions later."

Wu Shanhee grumbled internally. In know way did he want to do this but it made sense for him to do so. Calling the recently acquired Shen Shengkai to get a better feel for the people in question was added to the list.

"How is he?" Lady Zheng asked. Her demeanor was confident despite what happened recently. "Mr. Shi's actions were caused by your Master, at least he handled it well enough. To think I had so many vermin in my Family disgusts me." With the increase to her mental state, she remembers what was said in the beginning between the two.

"That is a shame. But you don't hold much animosity to our Master, that is good. Do you believe he will be able to help your Grandfather now?" Yanyan Hu eyed the heiress and could tell firsthand now she was an apt businesswoman.

"Yes, I know he can. But it is all about if he wants to now." Signaling one of her security members to bring the boxes of medicine, she had a plan to take care of this situation quickly. "These are all the Herbs purchased from the Auction. Please help me save my grandfather!"

The very proud woman actually lowered her head to someone.

"On behalf of my Master, we will definitely save your Grandfather." Yanyan Hu started taking the boxes and storing them away. The surprise on the guard's face brought a smile to her own. "The pills given to you earlier will be able to help him. If you don't believe it, try one now."

Lady Sheng tossed a pill in her mouth and felt the boundless energy inside stretch to every corner of her body. It was enough to create a Euphoric effect.

Another hour went by before Rexford finally moved. A look of disappointment on his face. The Realm of Xiantian was right there but a single thread held him back. Looking pass, he was able to draw on the Insights for the Realm pass the Xiantian, the Golden Core Realm.

'Our current state of mind may have stopped this.' The Mini thought to him. 'That Breakthrough would have pushed a large amount of power and may have killed everyone in the area. Let alone alerting our position to the wrong kind of elements.'

'Tch! Of course, there would be something there hindering me. But at least I can tell what my current Golden Core would form like eventually. The Immortal Cultivation is still just so annoying but necessary for supplementing. I still prefer the process of Earth Cultivation. It feels more natural no matter how much I think it over.' Rexford still had much to study in the Earth Cultivation: Transdecant Realm, every avenue giving more information than the Immortal did. 'A Grade 3 Golden Core at this point. But still have Xiantian to get into and explore. Once this thread is broken from Profound Opening anyway.'

"I will see you in a few minutes." YanYan Hu said to Lady Zheng. Seeing as the now happy Heiress walked away she turned to Rexford. "The matter with the Zheng Family will need a little more of a hands-on approach."

"Meaning?"

"I will go with her to facilitate the hands-on approach." Yanyan Hu could see the slight worry in Rexford's eyes. "The Su Family.. has a far reach we will need the strength for the present and the future. A'Xiu and Chang Wen need you more than me right now. I am not really a good teacher."

"I understand, just be careful." Rexford gave her a kiss then walked off to his pouty disciples and a frustrated Wu Shanhe. 'Wei Changfeng has moved from his previous position and even the entirety of the Wei Family that I work with has changed. The Wei Operatives.. what an unusual name for them. Something to go over when I get back.'

"Master, they all want to join the Ansatsuken." Wu Shanhe stated. The look on his face was quite comical. Seeing Yanyan Hu leave in a car made him dread Rexford's next orders. "The area is not ready and I am sure you do not want to have them move to Chuzhou."

"Haaa, you have poor management skills." Rexford shook his head fighting back a chuckle. "These people have several matters they attend to, only a few really want to jump into the thick of what we do. I will pass on the Enhanced Taiji exercises for them and a Battle Manual so they can defend themselves and grow stronger."

"Great!" Wu Shanhe was a little too enthused.

"Of course, I wouldn't have you do this, you have other work to attend to." Rexford walked over to the crowd. They surprised him with how attentive they were, he underestimated them a great bit. "I have a contact in Hundred Medicine Pharmacy to help with operations here. But overall the territory has only a little of my presence."

Slight murmurs went on but not of dissent. But that of hope for getting into his graces easier.

*Woom!* Rexford created a bigger Space dome cutting off sound from the outside and prying eyes. His control was much better than before. His Cultivation at the Transcendent Realm bared down on all of them.

"If you join me, I promise power more than the average person but you will have to work for more." His Aspect Spear of Fear congealed in front. It moved over to each person in the crowd. "Cut your hand upon the spear and I will know you are serious about joining me."

This was the second method he thought of besides the person stabbing him to show their resolve. Stabbing oneself with a weapon such as this required a bit of commitment. The Fear Spear was used since it would assault their minds preventing the weak from stepping forward.

Settling this matter Rexford went to the Hq in this area. The medicine provided by the Sheng Family needed to be put to use. As well as developing techniques to seal Space from others better.

He also worked on his gun more. Upgrading the material but just infusing Earth into it. The QI rounds were tweaked just a little bit more. Aunty Tang and Jiang Churan talked his head off most of the night into the morning about matters that took place before.

It was a good thing he was half listening and letting the Mini deal with them.

Chuzhou City-

.

At the Jiang residence, Jiang Haishan just received a visit from the police. Already getting questioned on his wife's disappearance and her not answering phone calls of friends and business partners.

But with his political pull, he was able to straighten out his wife went abroad easily enough and might have lost her phone. They asked to search the home which was his first mistake since her travel bag was still there.

Both pretend not to see it however after a few bribes were paid. The moment they left he made a call.

"Tell the Mayor, Jiang Haishan needs to speak with him. It is quite urgent." The man had gotten desperate and was making moves to seal his fate.

Outside the window however, a bird perched listening to the entire conversation. It flew off once it ended heading back to Rexford's Villa. Landing right in front of Sini Dova who was enjoying a nice bottle of wine.
