I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 174: Level 4 Divine Nest

In the vast pharmacy, only Zhang Yuan remained.

As the largest pharmacy in the Xia Ruins, Ji’an Pharmacy had the Liuhe Gang as its powerful backing, and its defense strength was quite strong.

However, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy wanted to double-cross, so he deliberately transferred some of the guards away, leaving only a few close aides around him.

Then Zhang Yuan caught them completely off guard.

In fact, under normal circumstances, with the pharmacy’s defense measures, even if they encountered a sudden invasion by a strong enemy, there would be opportunities for several people to escape or signal for help.

It can only be said that they were too clever for their own good, ultimately resulting in their demise!

Zhang Yuan calmly took care of all the bodies, then cleaned up all the bloodstains on the ground.

Leaving no trace at all.

He then conducted a thorough search of Ji’an Pharmacy.

The results were very rewarding!

He retrieved all the silver notes he paid during the day, which accounted for most of the pharmacy’s deposits.

This was undoubtedly the root reason for the shopkeeper’s covetousness and his attempt to double-cross—he offered too much!

Therefore, Zhang Yuan showed no politeness, not even sparing the hundred-plus taels of fragmented silver in the cash box.

He packed it all up and took it away.

As for the larger amount of copper coins, they were too heavy and took up space.

He didn’t have a storage pouch like an immortal magical artifact, so he had to leave them.

But these were nothing; what was truly valuable were the large quantities of precious medicinal herbs Zhang Yuan found in the pharmacy’s warehouse.

These aged herbs had all been processed.

Some of them were precisely the medicinal materials needed for Zhang Yuan’s practice of the Rock Foundation Skill.

There were also many rare items.

For example, two century-old Old Mountain Ginseng!

Zhang Yuan packed them all together.

The medicinal warehouse of Ji’an Pharmacy was large, storing hundreds of types of medicinal herbs, categorized by years, which undoubtedly facilitated his looting.

Zhang Yuan finally made a big package.

When leaving, he set a fire in the pharmacy’s warehouse.

This is what’s called doing things thoroughly, ensuring no trace could be left for others to track!

Zhang Yuan, carrying his spoils, slipped out of the back door of Ji’an Pharmacy.

With the Red-eyed Crow escorting him from above, he easily avoided the night patrol and headed straight out of the city.

Not long after Zhang Yuan left, flames from the pharmacy spread from the warehouse to the main hall.

The raging fire quickly burned through the door, spreading smoke to the street outside.

"Fire!"

Finally, someone noticed the fire and shouted loudly.

The nearby night patrol rushed over upon hearing the call.

"Put out the fire!"

The sound of copper gongs rang out, alarming the surrounding residents, like a splash of cold water into hot oil, causing a sudden burst!

And as people began to put out the fire, Zhang Yuan had already sneaked out of the Ruins City.

Returning to West Mountain Collection as fast as he could.

After safely returning home, Zhang Yuan took off his nightwear and stuffed it into the kitchen stove to burn.

Then he checked the spoils of the night.

Finally, he hid them in the underground secret chamber.

In the latter half of the night, he slept soundly and comfortably.

Two days later.

While practicing in the courtyard, Zhang Yuan was suddenly moved.

He immediately opened the Divine Nest panel.

[Host: Zhang Yuan]

[Realm: Tier Three (Transformation Realm)]

[Divine Nest: Level 4 (1%)]

[Host: Level 3 Black Giant Ant (1%)/8x Strength]

[Host: Level 4 Jade Mantis (1%)/Basic Saber Technique Profound Communication]

[Host: Level 3 Golden Grasshopper (1%)/8x Agility]

[Host: Level 4 White Dragon Loach (16%)/Basic Water Profound Communication]

[Host: Level 2 Red-eyed Crow (1%)/Intermediate Servant Spirit]

[Qi and Blood Value: 321/398]

[Source Material: 0]

Divine Nest ascended to Level 4!

Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but let out a long breath.

It wasn’t easy.

Over the past period, he had poured all the Source Material he had harvested into the main body of the Divine Nest.

After almost two months, he finally filled the Divine Nest’s appetite and completed this upgrade.

And it is foreseeable that as the levels of the Divine Nest and the hosts continuously improve, Zhang Yuan will need to hunt a far greater amount of Source Material than before to meet their evolution needs.

Level Three ascending to Level Four, undoubtedly stepping up a significant tier.

Yet apart from adding a new nest, Zhang Yuan had no more direct feeling.

For instance, when the Level Two Divine Nest ascended to Level Three, his perception ability was greatly enhanced.

Now, however, he didn’t feel much change.

Is that it?

Zhang Yuan wasn’t disappointed or frustrated.

He tried to activate the first host, the Black Giant Ant, empowering himself with its extraordinary power.

Soon, Zhang Yuan detected the profound mystery!

He found that his mastery of the host’s abilities greatly surpassed before, achieving finer control.

After empowering himself with the Black Giant Ant’s strength, Zhang Yuan could freely adjust the empowerment amplitude.

For example, increasing his strength by 1.1 times or 2.3 times.

The precision of control crushed everything before!

Not only that, but Zhang Yuan could also empower only specific parts of his body.

Letting the Black Giant Ant’s extraordinary abilities work only on his arms, hands, or legs, controlled freely at will.

The benefit of doing this is that it can greatly reduce the consumption of Qi Blood.

Achieving longer combat endurance!

Zhang Yuan then tested the Jade Mantis, Golden Grasshopper, and Red-eyed Crow respectively—the White Dragon Loach was temporarily put aside.

All of them realized different forms of ability fine control.

Especially the Red-eyed Crow.

The Level 4 Divine Nest endowed him with a more distant and excellent control experience over this intermediate servant spirit.

This enhancement sensation is akin to replacing a mechanical hard drive in a computer with a solid-state drive.

Directly skyrocket!

Zhang Yuan, like a big boy who just got his beloved toy, practiced the extraordinary abilities of different hosts repeatedly, completely disregarding the consumption of Qi Blood.

It wasn’t until his Qi and Blood Value dropped to a safe line that he reluctantly stopped.

After this detailed "evaluation", Zhang Yuan named the new feature of the Level 4 Divine Nest...

Intricate!

For several days in a row, he was immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.

This was not because Zhang Yuan was infatuated with novelty, but because the intricate abilities bestowed by the Divine Nest were extremely practical in actual combat.

Even providing a high boost to the Saber Technique Profound Communication!

Because he was so engrossed, Zhang Yuan even put out of his mind the major event he had carried out in the Ruins City previously.

Not going to inquire about the situation.

Until this morning, there was a knock on his door.

Zhang Yuan, who was in the courtyard, flashed his eyes and walked over to open the gate.

Standing at the door was Qu Hong!

He saw the steward from West Mountain Collection salute him with cupped fists: "Brother Zhao Yun, may we talk for a bit?"

Actually, when the other party came over, Zhang Yuan had already discovered him through the Red-eyed Crow.

So Zhang Yuan wasn’t very surprised and returned the greeting: "Please come in."

Zhang Yuan had been settling in West Mountain Collection for some time, during which hardly anyone had disturbed him.

He only knew this steward.

Speaking of which, this was their second meeting.

Zhang Yuan was quite curious about his purpose for coming!
