Not only the three great women, but the rest of the seven martial artists who were in the third level of the Foundation Building stage could also break through to the next level. This meant that 10 new warriors could go up to the fourth level of the Foundation building stage at the same time.

The ones who were in the first and second levels of the Foundation Building stage could also move up to the next level as well…

Some of the new warriors who were in the third level of the Foundation Building stage found it hard to move forward. So, they were stuck at the same level for a long time…

The pills that the new warriors took were actually Zheng-Fu's new medicine formula. He included new ingredients to increase the efficiency of the pill. Not only did the pill help heal the physical body, but it was also full of Qi energy. This was because one of the new ingredients was Qi energy stone…

The unification of herbal plants and Qi energy stones also increased the capacity for a person to absorb everything more easily and effectively. Normally, one Qi energy stone was not enough for a person who was in the Foundation Building stage…

If a martial artist wanted to absorb the energy to improve their energy level, the person needed at least 500 Qi energy stones. However, Zheng-Fu used only 10 of them for a pill to create this effective pill. It could help save him a lot of Qi energy stones…

Zheng-Fu had Gim-Dong-Guo and Master Sue-Wu made these pills for him. He did not tell anyone about the pill, but a few of the people in the clan…

After the new warriors took the pills, they broke through to the next level within less than a shichen. They all got surprised so much that it made them jump up and down with joy. It was not easy for them to improve their energy level…

Besides, to go from one energy level to another needed a lot of resources. The higher the energy level, the more difficult things could get…

"What is this pill!?" Qun-Cai exclaimed out of shock. Her face was full of puzzlement. Then she started to observe her body…

She could feel a tremendous amount of energy within her body the minute she moved up to the fourth level of the Foundation Building stage. She had spent a whole year cultivating the energy to come to this level. However, the pill could make it happen for her just within a second…

The other two women were also in shock because they also moved up to the fourth level. They could also detect that the rest of the people who were in the third level had moved up to the fourth level too…

The explosion sounds kept echoing all over the building. The new warriors raced to wonder about the pill that they had just taken. Not only did their physical bodies start to heal in a second, but they could also feel the Qi energy within them. It was like they just took an elixir or something…

"I shouldn't have taken this pill. I could make a fortune selling it instead!" A tall guy said while feeling sad that he did not sell the pill for money…

"Selling it!? I think it's best to take it ourselves. If you sell it, you'd just be happy for a short moment. But to get stronger is a real pleasure for me. Hahaha!" The big man who had scars all over his body said while laughing out of joy…

Another day had passed. Tong-Kuang started the next day with the same routine, which was recruiting the new warriors. He had to do this for seven days in total. The ones who returned home yesterday started to arrive at the clan. They were all sent to the rest building and be with the ones who stayed since yesterday…

There were not a lot of people coming in on the second day. It was about a little more than 100 people. The recruiting news reached everywhere. It made all the clans send out their men to spy on the Tian-Tang clan…

The whole thing was designed and controlled by Zheng-Fu. He took care of every single thing. What he did was propose ideas and everyone just happened to agree with him…

Zheng-Fu had turned out to be someone that the clan respected. The Elders of the clan also respected and supported him in everything that he did…

At the grand hall of the clan, Mo-Zi, the leader of the clan and the rest of the Elders sat in the meeting. There were two extra persons in the meeting too. They both covered their faces…

"Ahem!"

Mo-Zi coughed lightly to start the meeting. He stood up and said…

"I asked for the gathering today because I would like to ask you something. I think that I'd allow Zheng-Fu to get deeper into the Forbidden Forest. What do you think about it?"

Mo-Zi said calmly while looking at everyone in the room. Then he turned to the two persons who had cloths over their faces. He said…

"What you do think about it, Grandpa! Grandma!?"

"Grandpa!? Grandma!?"

Zheng-Fu was all of a sudden confused when he heard that. He had never met the two before. He also remembered that he did not think about the Forbidden Forest for a long time now…

Zheng-Fu remembered that he only spent time by the border of the Forbidden Forest. When he heard Mo-Zi mention the deeper part of the Forbidden Forest, it made him think and wonder what was in there…

"I agree that he should go in there!" Hai-Gu said while showing that he agreed with the idea…

"Me too!"

"I agree!"

An Elder after Elder started to concur with Mo-Zi's idea for Zheng-Fu to go into the Forbidden Forest. No one was allowed into that part of the forest for so many years. The ones who sneaked into the deep forest never had a chance to return…

That was the reason why no one dared to go deeper into the Forbidden Forest. Zheng-Fu himself could only get to the rim of the forest. All of a sudden, Zheng-Fu remembered the mysterious voices that he heard. It was the first time that he heard that voice and it happened in that forest. Then Zheng-Fu looked at the two new people in the meeting with a curious eye…

"If you think that this kid is suitable to go in, we don't have anything to argue with you. But do you think it is a good idea!?" One of the two persons, who were called 'Grandpa' said while looking at Zheng-Fu…

"That's right! It's very dangerous in there. Our Forbidden Forest is a very old forest. It's very mysterious and full of dangers because it is next to the Forest of Monsters." The other person next to Grandpa said and turned to look at Zheng-Fu as well…

"If everyone agrees, then it shall be!" Mo-Zi said while smiling. He then turned to Zheng-Fu and said, "What do you think Zheng-Fu? Do you want to go in there?"

"If it's what the leader of the clan wishes, I'd be willing to do accordingly, sir. But could you tell me what's in there?" Zheng-Fu agreed to do so. Then he asked with curiosity…

"I don't know about that. There had been a few people who went in there. And for the past years, no one was capable enough to go in there. The Forbidden Forest is full of secrets. Only the ones who got out alive knew about it…"

Mo-Zi explained everything to Zheng-Fu. Zheng-Fu understood what Mo-Zi said too because the clan had not had any new genius of the clan for a long time. The clan had fallen into the slumping state for a while now…

"I can tell you one thing. I can tell you that the former leaders of the clan could manage to get out of there safely. They all came back with greater power, but…" Mo-Zi said then he started to show his sadness thinking about what he told Zheng-Fu…

The rest of the people in the meeting also turned sad when they heard that. It was the secret of the clan. Only some Elders knew about this story…

"I got it! I'll get in there and do my best. I'll make it out alive!" Zheng-Fu said while patting his chest to confirm…

Kong-Shi who was Zheng-Fu's father never wished for his son to go into the Forbidden Forest. However, he could not stop him from doing so. If Zheng-Fu were a regular kid, he would stop him in the first place…

When the meeting was over, everyone left the room, except for Zheng-Fu, Kong-Shi, Mo-Zi, and the two Elders…

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

"You must be careful, Zheng-Fu son!" Kong-Shi said while walking towards Zheng-Fu with worry.

"Please be certain that I'll take the best care of myself, father," Zheng-Fu said and pounded his chest…

"Good! And remember! Don't be reckless!" Kong-Shi said with worry again…

"Yes, sir!"

"Come close, Zheng-Fu! I'll introduce you to the two Elders of the clan." Mo-Zi said while pointing his finger to the two persons who wore cloaks…

"I am Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu, the son of Elder Tian-Tang Kong-Shi. Please accept my respect to both of you!" Zheng-Fu said while cupping his fists. He bowed to the two with modesty…

"So, you are Zheng-Fu!?" The Grandpa of the clan asked while looking at Zheng-Fu with an admiring eye…

"Yes, sir. I'm Zheng-Fu!"

"You're pretty famous. Even us who kept ourselves from the world to practice heard about you." The female Elder said while smiling at Zheng-Fu…

"Both of you have been too kind. I'm not that famous. I didn't do anything much." Zheng-Fu said in a humble tone of voice…

"Hahaha!"

"You're very humble, kid. Not a lot of kids your age could do what you've done. Your energy level is even higher than Mo-Zi's. And he is the leader of the clan too." The female Elder said and laughed while turning to look at Mo-Zi…

Mo-Zi choked secretly when he heard that. He lost his words, so he could only smile out of embarrassment…

"You're being too kind again Elder. Even though my energy level is higher than the leader of the clan, my experience is much less." Zheng-Fu continued to talk calmly and modestly…

The Grandpa was observing Zheng-Fu to see how Zheng-Fu would react to compliments. He could see that no matter how much Zheng-Fu heard the praise, he remained calm and mild…

"Anyway, from now on you can call me Grandma Pu-Qi. This is Grandpa Hun-Dong. We have the duty to take the new generation into the deeper part of the Forbidden Forest. It is to continue the tradition of the founder of the Tian-Tang clan." Pu-Qi said while smiling at Zheng-Fu…

"That's correct. On the journey into the deep forest, you must get in there by yourself. We'd give you a map, so you know which way to go." Hun-Dong said while looking at Zheng-Fu firmly…

Kong-Shi and Mo-Zi knew about those details. To be able to get into the deeper part of the Forbidden Forest, a person needed consent from the two clan's Elders first because the map into the forest was with them…

Anyone who walked into the Forbidden Forest without a map would not be safe because there were traps and monsters all over the place. If a person walked off the trail, they would not be alive back. However, despite the existence of the high-rank monsters, no one was attacked by these beasts. It was like something was preventing them from hurting the people from the clan…
