Chapter 911 -911: Two Ends
Anyang City, Ling Residence.
After being busy for an entire day and night, Ling Hongfeng finally returned to his bedroom and collapsed directly onto the soft couch.
This current family head of the Ling Family was filled with deep regret.
He had previously been a playboy of the Ling Family, spending his days indulging in food, drink, and decadence without a worry, since the allowances he received as the legitimate son, along with the covert subsidies from his mother, were enough to squander.
How had he suddenly become bewitched and snatched the position of the elder brother to seat himself?
Now, all of a family’s many affairs had fallen onto Ling Hongfeng’s shoulders, leaving him overwhelmed and without the freedom and joy of the past.

Like last night, when the ancestral hall suddenly caught fire and even burned the uncle who was in charge of guarding it to death; not only did the incident leave him frazzled, he was also drenched in the harsh reprimands from the clan’s many elders.
Someone had said to his face that compared to his wise and brave elder brother, he was nothing but scum!
Ling Hongfeng nearly spat blood on the spot.
He truly regretted it!
In the past half a year, let alone leisure and carefree living, he had not even had a few nights of peaceful sleep.
Every time he closed his eyes at night, Ling Hongfeng would see his blood-soaked elder brother coming to claim his life and then see his own nephew wielding a sword, chopping at him.
The guilt in his heart had now become a nightmare!
But the sensation of holding the family’s power, in turn, made him unable to let go.
“Ah,”
Ling Hongfeng heaved a long sigh.
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside the soft couch, giving him a great fright, “Ah!”
“It’s me.”
The other party smiled faintly, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.”
This sudden appearance was a middle-aged man, lean and mean-looking, with a creepy, insincere grin.
“Steward Zhang!”
Having recovered, Ling Hongfeng internally seethed and said discontentedly, “Could you please knock on the door before entering next time?”
This middle-aged man was the new steward of the Ling Residence, whom Ling Hongfeng had welcomed into the fold after assuming the position of the family head.
This darkly charismatic middle-aged man had been indispensable in his acquisition of control over the Ling family.
But Ling Hongfeng wouldn’t feel the slightest bit of gratitude.
Because on the surface, he was the master, but in reality, this Steward Zhang was the eminence grise of the Ling Family!
“I got it.”
Steward Zhang responded casually and then asked, “What happened with your family’s ancestral hall?”
“How would I know!”
Ling Hongfeng was impatient, “Head Constable Sun, who came to investigate, said it might have been caused by a candle. There were no signs that the burnt fool was murdered.”
A fierce glint flashed in Steward Zhang’s eyes as he spoke slowly, “It’s been almost a year, and you still haven’t found what the master wants; are you aware of the consequences?”
Ling Hongfeng’s complexion changed, and he said in a trembling voice, “I have been trying really hard to search. You’ve seen the secret room in the residence. It contained nothing but some gold, silver, jewels, and deeds, most of which you have already taken.”
“The Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel’s cultivation manuals have always been in Ling Hongyun’s hands, how would I know where he hid them?”
He felt extremely wronged.
Steward Zhang spoke in a chilling tone, “Ling Hongyun certainly has another hidden treasure. That bit wouldn’t even be enough to fill the cracks between one’s teeth. The Ling Family’s accumulation of hundreds of years couldn’t be just this much! Impossible!”
Ling Hongfeng pleaded miserably, “But I really don’t know, neither my mother nor the clan elders are aware…Oh right,”
He asked, “Has that little bastard been found?”
Ling Hongfeng and Ling Hongyun were half-brothers sharing the same father, and he had always seen his nephew, Ling Zhiyuan, as a thorn in his side, a constant irritant!
“The master has already instructed the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion to investigate.”
Steward Zhang said indifferently, “I believe we will find his whereabouts very soon.”
“That little bastard must know the true secret treasure!”
Ling Hongfeng suddenly became excited, “Once you find him, that’s all that matters!”
“We’ll see about that.”
Steward Zhang looked at the other party disdainfully and said, “We don’t need you to teach us how to do our job.”
If it weren’t for the fear of the reaction from other families in Anyang city, his master would have swallowed the Ling Family whole long ago, and this fool wouldn’t even have a chance!
But this was fine too, it was only a matter of time.
Ling Zhiyuan.
Steward Zhang narrowed his eyes; his gaze grew deep and gloomy.
At this very moment, Wang Chen, unaware that someone was constantly thinking about him, was fully immersed in comprehending the Dharma Technique intricacies of the fourth tier of Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel.
Wang Chen had already cultivated to the peak of the third tier of Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel and was just one step away from congealing the Swallowing Thief Wheel.
But because he lacked a technique to Break the Threshold before, he had been stuck, unable to advance.
Now with the original cultivation manuals in his possession, the breakthrough would come tonight!
The first 895 characters were firmly etched in Wang Chen’s mind.
Sitting cross-legged, he stimulated the Life Qi within his body, beginning to congeal the Swallowing Thief Wheel.
The Swallowing Thief Wheel, also known as the Heart Wheel, was formed by concentrating Life Qi in the heart. Its difficulty and danger undoubtedly far surpassed the previous three wheels.
As time passed, the amount of Life Qi gathering in the heart area increased, and a new Evil Wheel slowly took shape.
At the same time, his potential value was plummeting at an alarming rate.
The consumption of Life Qi was doubling!
Wang Chen already felt a piercing pain in the region of his heart, a sensation of tightness in his chest as if something was about to break through the flesh and fly out—this was a sign that the Evil Wheel was congealing.
But at this point, Wang Chen felt an overwhelming sense of difficulty continuing.
Without a second thought, he reached for a ginseng and stuffed it into his mouth, biting off a piece.
This ginseng was not the most precious five-hundred-year-old variety, but it was still a two to three hundred-year-old treasure, which could be considered a family heirloom in some smaller clans.
However, at this moment, it was merely material for Wang Chen to replenish his potential value!
The powerful effectiveness of the Old Mountain Ginseng spread quickly once ingested and was soon absorbed by the stomach.
[Potential +1], [Potential +1], [Potential +1]…
The effect of the Old Mountain Ginseng was immediate, and in just a short while, Wang Chen’s potential value began to rise.
This allowed Wang Chen to stably maintain the supply of Life Qi, facilitating the formation of the Evil Wheel!
Although he could directly use potential points to Break the Threshold, the effect could not compare to what he was experiencing now. Only by enduring immense hardships could he gain the deepest insight and mastery over the cultivation technique he practiced.
An Old Mountain Ginseng of not inconsiderable value was consumed clean by Wang Chen.
For an ordinary person, let alone a low-tier Martial Artist, eating such a large Old Mountain Ginseng in one meal would be fatal.
But Wang Chen was completely unaffected. Instead, he appeared rejuvenated, his eyes flashing with captivating light.
The next moment, his body shook, and beneath the skin of his left chest, a ring of Evil Wheel protruded, before instantly vanishing from sight.
Wang Chen let out a long breath, a relaxed smile appearing on his lips.
Success!
[Cultivation Technique: Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel (Swallowing Thief): 0/400]
He had successfully congealed the Swallowing Thief Wheel, officially stepping into the fourth tier of Martial Artists—the Martial General Tier!
