The First Book of Ning Wang's Illegitimate Son Chapter 18: Baisha Town

  The Anan Breaking Blade is a superior martial art. According to its secrets, even now, Wang Guanlan can use the knife energy he has refined to forcefully break through and raise his cultivation to the second layer of refining energy. However, doing so would only be an ordinary breakthrough method, and after breaking through, it would only attract the heavenly and earthly energy mechanisms, slightly increasing one's internal energy. In contrast, the Anan Breaking Blade has a unique method where during the breakthrough, the knife is absorbed into the dantian to be tempered, allowing the dantian to adapt to the knife energy's sharpness. Once the dantian contains enough knife energy, it is dispersed using a secret method and fully merged with the internal energy, achieving an instantaneous breakthrough. As a result, the internal energy acquires the sharpness of the knife energy, making its power far superior to ordinary internal energy.

  This is the difference between high-level martial arts and low-level martial arts.

  Since Wang Guanlan had this advantage, he naturally wouldn't rush to break through. After all, the amount of knife energy that the dantian could hold in the initial stage of qigong was also limited, and it wouldn't take him much time.

  "The sky has already darkened, it seems we're approaching Fog Concealing Gorge!" He stood up and slowly walked to the window of the boat, looking at the gradually darkening sky outside. As far as his eyes could see, the majestic Broken Cloud Mountain Range was getting closer and closer in the heavy dusk, and amidst the swirling mist, buildings were faintly visible.

  Bai Sha Town, a small town located at the mouth of Wuyin Gorge, is more like a transfer station than a town. Warriors pass through this town to get supplies and process their gains from the valley nearby, making Bai Sha Town an extremely lively place. Of course, in this town, which is only a day's boat ride away from Nan Hua City, the Ning Wang Fu has absolute control.

  That is absolute control power, not only this Baisha Town, but also several other small towns that enter the Fog Hidden Gorge, are all under the control of Ning Wangfu.

  "Wang Baihe has seen the Fourteenth Master!!"

  When the boat arrived at Baisha Town, it was already pitch black. As soon as they docked, everyone on board was shocked to see that a large crowd had already gathered at the pier. The seasoned warriors who frequently entered and exited the Wuyin Gorge were even more astonished to discover that the leader of the group on the pier was none other than Wang Bahe, one of the external managers of the Ningwang Fu, the actual controller of Baisha Town.

  The boat docked at the shore, and Wang Baihe didn't pay attention to others, but instead went straight to Wang Guanlan and bowed down.

  "Baihe General, no need to be so polite!!" Wang Guanlan smiled and reached out to help Wang Baihe up, "This time, I'll have to trouble the general!"

  "I don't dare, for the young master to exert himself is our honor!" Wang Baihe hastily said. If it were six months ago when Wang Guanlan appeared before him, he wouldn't have been so cautious. But now, it was completely different. The young man in front of him not only understood the Buddhist divine power but also entered the imperial academy and obtained the title of "Xiucai". In the future, he would inevitably occupy a position in the Ning Wangfu. Although he was the external affairs manager, seemingly powerful and majestic in Baisha Town, at the end of the day, he was just a servant of the royal family. The Ning Wangfu controlled three states with a population of tens of billions, and there were countless external affairs managers like him. In terms of status, he was worlds apart from Wang Guanlan, a young master who had recently gained favor. He naturally didn't dare to be slow.

  Seeing this scene, everyone on the boat took a deep breath and looked at Yue Haifeng with schadenfreude. These two guys were too unlucky, who else would they provoke? They actually went to provoke the 14th young master of the Ning Wangfu. The Ning Wangfu was like heaven in these three states, it was the ruler, others couldn't even avoid them, yet they went to provoke them on their own initiative.

  Yue Haifeng and Chen Qingshan, this pair of difficult brothers, were now in an unknown state of mind. Originally, they thought Wang Guanlan was just a son of a wealthy family, but unexpectedly he turned out to be the son of Ning Wang. This iron plate was too hard to kick, while secretly congratulating himself on being clever and withdrawing in time, he also worried that this Fourteenth Young Master would not settle accounts after autumn.

  "You two don't have to worry, the matters on the boat have been settled, and whatever happens in the future has nothing to do with you!" Wang Guanlan got off the boat surrounded by Wang Baihe and others. As he was getting off the boat, he turned his head to say to Yue Haifeng, "No one will bother you because of the matters on the boat, so rest assured!"

  "Thanks, Young Master Fourteen!" The two of them let out a sigh of relief at the same time. Although they didn't know if this Young Master Fourteen was really showing off in front of others, with these words, at least the Ning Wang Fu would not bother them on the surface with this reason.

  ………

  "Master, those two guys have been provoking you!" Wang Baihe asked in a low voice on the way.

  "You're a local snake, what kind of moral character they are you should be clear about, but they're still quite clever!"

  "Or should it be smaller?!"

  "I've already said that the matter on the boat is settled, so don't go looking for trouble with them!" Wang Guanlan glanced at Wang Baihe, "But it's strange that you, White River General Manager, are so well-informed. This time I entered the Wuyin Gorge, but nobody was told, how did you know?!"

  "The Grand Steward sent a message by carrier pigeon early this morning to inform the younger ones that the 14th Young Master will be entering the Wuyin Gorge and will definitely arrive at Baisha Town tonight!"

  "It was actually Wang Fu, the Grand Steward!" Wang Guanlan smiled and didn't ask further. Since he had realized that his divine awakening couldn't be hidden from Wang Bi Cheng, he understood that in the Ning Wang Fu, or even in Nan Hua City, everything was under Ning Wang's control. So, although his actions in coming to Wu Yin Gorge were low-key, he hadn't expected to really be able to hide it from Ning Wang. He just hadn't thought that after he left, Grand Steward Wang Fu would send the news to Bai Sha Town. It wasn't clear whether this was Wang Fu's own idea or Wang Bi Cheng's, but of course, there was no need to investigate too deeply.

  Wang Baihe was extremely enthusiastic, his enthusiasm was a bit over the top. Wang Guanlan had been an eight-sided clever person in her past life, but now she had to play the role of a newcomer to the rivers and lakes, destined to be deceived by a rookie. Although she played it very stiffly, she managed to fool Wang Baihe after all.

  ………

  "This foggy valley is not simple, although this section is the safest area, but also full of crises. If I didn't have this map, I'm afraid I would encounter a lot of trouble!" In a luxurious room in the Ning Wang Fu's residence in Baisha Town, Wang Guanlan looked at the exquisite map in his hand, with a hint of a smile on his lips. "This Wang Baihe is not bad, since Wang Fuyi sent him a flying letter early this morning, it should be Wang Fuyi's mountain stronghold. Wang Fuyi has been sitting on the throne of Da Zongguan since the second year after the old man took the Ning Wang position, and it's clear that he is the old man's confidant. It seems that the old man has great expectations for my trip to Foggy Valley this time!"

  Wang Guanlan put away the map and took another look at the package on the table. The package was not large, and there were not many things inside. There was no food or water that was essential for traveling, but for all warriors who entered the Fog Concealing Gorge to train, food and water were not scarce in the gorge. If you had a good map like the one Wang Guanlan saw earlier, you would never starve or die of thirst. The most important thing to bring into the Fog Concealing Gorge was medicine. A bottle of high-quality elixir was equivalent to having an extra life. Just like the package on the table now, it was all filled with high-quality elixirs. It was unknown whether this was Wang Baihe's private collection or someone else's intention.

  The idea flashed through his mind and disappeared without a trace, "Alright,"

  "Now that we have the map and these elixirs, everything is almost ready. Let's rest well tonight and head into Misty Gorge tomorrow!!"

  At the same time, in the largest inn in Baisha Town, Yunsheng Inn, in room Tianzi No. 3, the dim lamp flickered uncertainly, and four figures gathered around the table, discussing in a low voice.

  "Qin big brother, something's not right! That Fourteenth Young Master seems to be the son of Ning Wang, and he also wants to enter Wuyin Gorge. Are we going to have trouble?!"

  "Yes, left envoy, others can be ignored, but the son of King Ning is not an ordinary person. Moreover, you also saw the situation today. Being able to make Wang Baihe so cautious shows that his status in the Ning King's mansion is not low!"

  "What's the big deal?!" Qin, a man in his forties, exuded an air of ferocity. A scar above his mouth, from ear to lip, twisted his facial muscles into a menacing snarl, like a dark purple centipede. His already intimidating appearance was amplified by his fierce tone, "Even if it's the son of Ning Wang, it makes no difference! Since our superior has entrusted us with this task, we must complete it flawlessly, even if it means death! This concerns our superior's plan and cannot be compromised!"

  "But——!"

  "There's nothing to be afraid of, at most we'll just lose our lives here. What, are you guys scared?!" The fierce gaze swept around the three people beside him, and finally fixed on the fat man who spoke first opposite him, "Zhou Bao, are you scared?!"

  "No, no, no, no!" shouted Zhou Bao, the fatty, shaking his head repeatedly. "Of course, I'm not afraid, but I do have some concerns. If that Fourteenth Young Master is really valued by the Ning King, then in secret, there must be someone protecting him, and it's very likely that there are experts at the Imperial Qi level among them. Our strength seems to be somewhat insufficient!"

  "Zhou Bao said reasonably, Qin big brother, among us four people, only you have reached the stage of controlling your breath, if——!"

  "You can rest assured, this time I've made sufficient preparations. Even if the Ning King has taken a liking to his son and sends someone to secretly protect him, the person sent will be at most in the initial stages of Qi Refining. Although I'm also in the initial stages of Qi Refining, Master has given me a Mad Demon Blood Burning Pill as a precaution against unexpected events. If we really encounter a strong enemy, I can use the pill to raise my cultivation to the middle stages of Qi Refining and defeat them with one blow. What objections do you still have?"

  "Insane Devil Blood Pill?!" The other three people's expressions turned grave as soon as they heard the name, "In that case, everything will be done according to Qin big brother's orders!!" Fatso Zhou Bao was the first to come back to his senses and said firmly.
