"Damn it, that shameless old man is too damn annoying. He just ran away after eating our dragon meat!"

The Spirit Fish looked at the man in black who had disappeared under the night sky, and hated him so much that its teeth started to itch.

"That person is unfathomably powerful. I suspect that his strength has reached the Nirvana stage!"

"Who is this person?"

The person who was able to leave behind such a profound footwork was definitely a famous figure in the central continent. However, Ye Chenfeng had limited knowledge of the central world, so he was unable to guess the identity of this person.

"Spirit Fish, we have nothing better to do. Recently, we have been slowly comprehending this set of steps. If we can comprehend it, it will be of great help to us!" Ye Chenfeng suggested.

"En!"

The Spirit Fish was a knowledgeable person as well. They'd long since been attracted by this set of profound steps as they nodded their small heads.

Time passed day by day.

Ye Zichen and the spiritual fish were like two statues as they sat cross-legged beside the 108 footprints and continued to control their soul force to penetrate it.

Although this set of steps was more profound than the sword steps, for Ye Chenfeng, who majored in sword arts, sword steps were more useful to him. He borrowed the powerful deduction power of the mind devouring to attempt to combine this set of profound steps with the sword steps, raising the level of the sword steps.

Spirit Fish also tried to integrate this set of steps with the Eight Shadows of the Divine Apes.

In next to no time, a month had passed.

After a month of understanding, Ye Zichen and the spiritual fish both gained a new understanding, which increased the level of their sword steps and the Eight Godly Apes' Shadow.

With the help of the God Devouring Brain, Ye Zichen raised his sword steps by two levels. When he reached the Perfection Stage, every step he took would increase his speed tenfold in an instant, while the offensive sword patterns formed by the sword diagrams would increase in power exponentially.

Just as Ye Zichen and the Spirit Fish understood the profound steps and their strength increased, Zhou Shenglong and Zhou Tianyi returned to the Zhou Mansion, accompanied by the Sword Spirit Puppet.

It was just as Ye Zichen had predicted. The Nangong family and the Earth Yin Sect couldn't refuse such a big gift, so they both agreed to work together with the Zhou family to develop the gold mine. They promised to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the Zhou family to work together, and also sent people to the Zhou city to discuss the development of the mine.

After consuming the Great Way Pill that Ye Chenfeng had refined, he had cured Yin Ruoxi's hidden ailments. This made her value Ye Chenfeng even more, so she had come to the Zhou Yi City to discuss the development of the gold mine.

However, the Nangong family only sent Nangong Qing Xue and Nangong Su, as well as the two guards in charge of protecting their safety. They were more or less looking down on the Zhou family.

"Sect Master Yin, young miss Nangong, young master, this mine was discovered by the Zhou family. However, our Zhou family's strength is limited and we are unable to develop it on our own, therefore, our Zhou family wants to cooperate with you."

Zhou Quan Long led Yin Ruoxi and Nangong Qing Xue to the meeting hall. He ordered some people to pour the spirit tea over and discuss the most important distribution issues.

"My Earth Yin Sect has no objections!" Yin Ruoxi was the first to express her stance.

"I have an objection!"

Just as Zhou Shenglong turned his gaze towards the Nangong siblings, the beautiful and elegant Nangong Su who had an arrogant expression on his face spoke up.

"Does Young Noble Nangong think that my distribution is unreasonable?" Zhou Shenglong's eyebrows furrowed, and he politely asked.

"That's right. My Nangong Family must have a 60% share of this gold mine!" Nangong Su drank a mouthful of spirit tea and said arrogantly.

"Hehe, Nangong Su, your Nangong Family has a big appetite." Yin Ruoxi revealed a playful smile as she said, "I don't know if it's Clan Head Nangong's decision or your decision."

"Of course it's my father's idea, and I also agree with his suggestion!" Nan Gong Su looked at the charming and moving Yin Ruoxi and said with a smile.

"My apologies Young Noble Nangong, I am unable to agree to the distribution plan!"

Although he chose to cooperate with the Nangong Family and the Earth Yin Sect, Zhou Shenglong also had his own bottom line. If the Nangong Family really had to take a 60% share, Yin Ruoxi wouldn't agree.

Clan Head Zhou, you have said just now, your Zhou Family does not have the strength to develop the gold mine on your own, so you chose to cooperate with us. That is to say, you want to sit down and reap the rewards, yet you do not have the ability to do so.

Nangong Su ignored the frowning Nangong Qing Xue. Waving a jade fan, he spoke in an extremely hedonistic manner.

"Young noble NanGong, you must know that this gold mine is within the influence of our Zhou family. It is the personal property of our family, do you think that it is unreasonable for us to occupy forty percent of it? Besides, my Zhou family did not say that they couldn't help. " Zhou Shenglong felt a bit angry in his heart and said this in a low voice.

"Of course it's unreasonable. The appearance of this gold mine in your Zhou Family's area of influence only proves that your Zhou Family is lucky. However, for some weaker forces, a lucky chance might bring about a fatal disaster!" Nangong Su said rudely.

"Nan Gong Su, what do you mean by that?" Zhou Tianyi couldn't bear to listen any longer and questioned angrily.

"My meaning is very simple. The Zhou Family is too weak. Taking over 40% of the gold mine would only bring about disaster. If you want to be safe, then I think taking 10% is enough!" Nangong Su revealed a faint smile and said arrogantly.

"Miss Nangong, that's what you mean as well. You look down on our Zhou family!" Zhou Tianyi clenched his fist so tightly that it creaked. He looked at Nangong Qing Xue, who was biting her lips and choosing to remain silent, and said angrily.

"Young Master Zhou, don't be angry yet. If you don't agree, I'll contact my father right now and tell him what you all want to do. We can discuss this slowly!" Nangong Qing Xue faced Zhou Tianyi's furious gaze and lightly bit her red lips as she advised.

"There's no need to go through all this trouble. I've already decided not to work with your Nangong Family anymore!" Although Zhou Tianyi did not wish to have conflict with Nangong Qing Xue, Nangong Su's unreasonable actions had completely infuriated him.

"Hmph, if you say no, then no?" The corners of Nangong Su's lips curled up slightly as he said arrogantly, "My Nangong Family is not something that anyone can mess with. If you anger us, I promise I will make sure that your Zhou Family will not be able to take the consequences."

"My Zhou family is not scared. If you want to take revenge on my family, then come at me..." Zhou Tianyi looked at the ashen-faced Zhou Shenglong and said in a tit for tat manner.

"Zhou Family Head, you think so too?" Nan Gong Su shot a disdainful glance at Zhou Tianyi before turning his gaze towards Zhou Shenglong.

"Let me help you answer Master Zhou. Since the Zhou Family has cancelled their collaboration with the Nangong Family, you can leave now! If you want revenge, then do it. "

At this time, an incomparably sharp voice sounded out.

At this critical moment, Ye Zichen and the Spirit Fish appeared.
