Inside the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, Yao Rong was sorting through medicinal herbs. "Imperial Doctor, it’s been half a month now. I have inquired and found that recently, Little Ci’en Hall can’t sell any ready-made medicinal herbs," Cheng Sihai said with a smug expression. "Doing so does indeed disgrace the reputation of our Medicine Emperor Pavilion. However, Yun Sheng is simply too arrogant. It’s time to give her some trouble," Yao Rong lamented about Yun Sheng’s sudden rise and felt that she was too arrogant. After the matter with Wu Xuan Wuji Pavilion, she asked Fan Zhi to introduce Yun Sheng several times, but that girl bluntly refused each time. Such actions undoubtedly infuriated Medicine Emperor Pavilion, especially Qi Fangfei. Without a supply of high-quality medicinal herbs, Little Ci’en Hall would be useless regardless of how advanced their alchemy was. Qi Fangfei’s move was certainly ruthless. Within Little Ci’en Hall, there was a cloud of anxiety. Gu Feng came up with an idea: "Yun Sheng, I have a suggestion. Since we can’t sell elixirs for the time being, why don’t we sell magic potions instead? The materials for magic potions come from a wider range and are not limited to pharmacies and medicinal farmers." Upon hearing this, Yun Sheng thought it was a good idea. Medicine Emperor Pavilion wanted to blockade Little Ci’en Hall, cutting off their herb purchasing channels, but magic potions were different, as they could be acquired from Hunter Soldiers and even some demon beast shops. Besides, she was also a Sacrificial Elder of the Hunter Soldier Union and could use this status to issue guild missions to purchase materials for making magic potions. During her absence, she could have Gu Feng, Ji Mo, and Lin Yao’er make some basic magic potions. Once she returned, they would figure out a solution to the herb supply issue. Temporarily switching to selling magic potions was a viable alternative when faced with the current inability to secure a source of medicinal herbs. Yun Sheng immediately went to the Yujing branch of the Hunter Soldier Union. Upon arriving at the Hunter Soldier Branch in Yujing City and revealing her identity along with the Sacrificial Elder token, the person in charge of the branch came out to personally welcome her. "So it’s the disciple of the Summoning Emperor Level Master Yan Yun. May I ask if you are here at the Hunter Soldier Branch for a task or something else?" The person in charge of each Hunter Soldier Branch was very eager to ingratiate themselves with the disciple of a Summoning Emperor Level powerhouse. "I’m here to issue a task. I need to issue an open task for magic potion materials. Anyone who can gather enough quantities of these materials should send them directly to Little Ci’en Hall in Yujing City, where someone will pay the reward," Yun Sheng listed the magic potion materials she needed to gather. She chose some of the most basic low-level magic potion materials that even E and D-rank Hunter Soldiers could manage. After leaving the Hunter Soldier Branch, she returned to the base of the Sky Hunting Corps and issued the same task to the Hunter Soldiers there as well. Besides the elite Hunter Soldiers taken away by Yun Cang Lang, the rest were all dispatched by Yun Sheng to collect magic potion materials. Ji Mo observed everything in secret within Little Ci’en Hall. Yun Sheng was indeed no ordinary person. It seemed that she not only had good relations with Wu Xuan Wuji Pavilion but was also closely associated with the local Hunter Soldier Union. Yun Sheng also ordered Zong Ren to head to the Southern Border City region to inquire about the specific details of the Purple Gold Mine. One month later, Yun Cang Lang returned with the Hunter Soldiers, who had undergone a complete transformation. "Reporting to Young Master, we have returned. In this trial, all fifty of us successfully advanced to E-level Hunter Soldiers, thirty advanced to D-level Hunter Soldiers, and ten advanced to C-level Hunter Soldiers," Zhou Quan himself had become a C-level Hunter Soldier. What surprised Yun Sheng the most was that Huang Que had also taken the initiative to volunteer when she learned that the Hunting Corps was going to Daoye Mountain Hunting Soldier Guard City. This time, her progress was astonishing, and she also successfully passed the C-level Hunter Soldier’s assessment, becoming a C-level Hunter Soldier. "Very good, those who have successfully advanced to D-level or higher Hunter Soldiers, immediately go tidy up your baggage; we will soon head to the Southern Border of Great Zhou," Yun Sheng looked very satisfied at the Hunter Soldiers before her, their morale soaring high. Zhou Quan and others swarmed to Yun Sheng, "Young Master, let me tell you, our Commander is really powerful. In just one month, he swept through Daoye Mountain Hunting Soldier Guard City, becoming the only B-level Hunter Soldier." When Yun Sheng initially proposed that Yun Canglang take some of the Yun Family Army’s elite to participate in the Hunter Soldier Competition at Daoye Mountain Guard City, those Hunter Soldiers were somewhat dissatisfied. In their eyes, competing in the Arena was the same as a circus act, performing tricks before a crowd of people. Even Yun Canglang thought so. However, after Yun Sheng’s persistent insistence, Yun Canglang still took his niece’s advice. Once they arrived at Daoye Mountain Hunting Soldier Guard City, they realized that all their previous notions were wrong. The frantic Combat Skills, the bustling Arena, the fight-to-the-death struggles – all of this was beyond their previous understanding. Especially for Yun Canglang, even though his injuries had been healed by Yun Sheng, he had not engaged his fighting spirit for a long time and his skills had inevitably regressed somewhat. But the fighting atmosphere of the Arena was undoubtedly the most suitable for him. With the Sky Hunting Corps, he fought steadily, starting from E-level Hunter Soldiers. Within one month, on a personal level, he had already forged his way to becoming a B-level Hunter Soldier. If it wasn’t for the prior agreement with Yun Sheng to go to the Southern Border after a month to inspect the Purple Gold Mine, Yun Canglang might have set a new record for individual Hunter Soldier advancement at Daoye Mountain Hunting Soldier Guard City. Even so, the name of the newly rising Sky Hunting Corps has quietly spread within Daoye Mountain. The same information had also been gradually spreading to other Capitals and Hunter Soldier Branches of Great Zhou. From being unknown to gaining some fame, the Hunter Soldier Arena is undoubtedly a quick path to fame. Yun Sheng had also anticipated this point, but she did not expect the Hunter Soldiers of the Sky Hunting Corps to be so efficient, advancing steadily along the way. A few days after Yun Canglang’s return, at the Yujing Hunting Soldier Branch, there were already clients coming in specifically requesting the Sky Hunting Corps for tasks. This was undoubtedly very good news. After all, the Sky Hunting Corps was transformed from an army, stricter in discipline than ordinary Hunting Corps, which is also what many clients are most satisfied with. Upon hearing this news, Yun Sheng couldn’t help but laugh in her heart, thinking that her second uncle and father, though one is a Mage and the other a Martial Artist, were equally fierce on the Arena. In a few years, the Sky Hunting Corps will become one of the top Hunting Corps in Great Zhou. Such a transformation was something Yun Canglang had never even considered when he initially restructured the Yun Family Army. "Sheng’er, I heard that while I was away, the Medicine Emperor Pavilion made a move?" As soon as Yun Canglang returned to Yujing, he heard from Zhan Li about the recent actions of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.
