When the news spread that Mo Yu had taken over the White Gang and renamed it the Mo Gang, the entire Inner Academy was abuzz with shock.

No one could have predicted that this newcomer, who had entered the Inner Academy only a few days prior, would actually manage to seize control of Bai Cheng's faction. But at this point, it was no longer White Gang; it was the newly established Mo Gang.

The Mo of Mo Yu.

From the moment of its formation, the new Mo Gang already secured a foothold in the Inner Academy, where powerful individuals were everywhere. And Mo Yu, the leader of the Mo Gang, immediately became a figure of renown in the academy.

This sparked envy and admiration among many Inner Academy students. A junior student, only a few days in the Inner Academy, now held considerable power—enough to be envied by others.

While the Inner Academy was in shock over the formation of Mo Gang, another piece of news began to circulate unexpectedly.

It was said that the auxiliary weapon sold by Mo Gang, the Cold Jade Bead, could actually suppress the fire toxin from the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower! At first, many students were skeptical. After all, even the renowned Medicine Gang of the Inner Academy couldn't produce something to suppress the fire toxin—how could this newly formed Mo Gang achieve it?

However, some students, driven by curiosity, gave it a try, only to be pleasantly surprised to find that this small Cold Jade Bead truly could suppress the fire toxin produced by the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

After the Cold Jade Bead's effects were verified, its reputation skyrocketed alongside Mo Gang's. Over the past half month, many students lined up at Mo Gang's headquarters to purchase the Cold Jade Bead.

In the Mo Gang's main hall, Mo Yu looked at his Red Fire Crystal Card, displaying a high balance of 1,470, and couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

With his control over Mo Gang, Mo Yu could more efficiently gather the materials needed to refine Cold Jade Beads. In the past half month, he had refined over a hundred Cold Jade Beads.

Of those, over thirty Cold Jade Beads were supplied to each member of Mo Gang, while the rest were sold externally, greatly boosting Mo Yu's fire energy reserves.

Thanks to the lucrative sales of the Cold Jade Beads, Mo Yu wouldn't have to worry about a lack of fire energy anymore.

Most members of Mo Gang were also seated in the hall. After several days of selling Cold Jade Beads, its popularity soared, and Mo Gang's business stabilized. Now, members didn't have to personally oversee sales—they simply needed to stay in the gang headquarters and let other Mo Gang members handle it while Inner Academy students came to buy it.

Among those seated, three were prominent members, with Fu Ao among them.

Over the past few days, Mo Yu had taken the time to understand the situation within Mo Gang. Although Bai Cheng was gone, with Mo Yu now in charge, Mo Gang still had four Dou Ling experts.

The tall, thin man seated to Fu Ao's left was named Li Xing, a Four-Star Dou Ling, and the fair-skinned man on Fu Ao's right was Gong Qing, a Two-Star Dou Ling.

Through his unique charm, Mo Yu gradually won over these two, and Fu Ao, Li Xing, and Gong Qing became increasingly loyal to him.

"How are the Cold Jade Beads selling these past few days?" Mo Yu asked calmly as he noticed most people had gathered.

"Splendid!" Fu Ao laughed heartily. "We sold five Beads on the first day, ten on the second, sixteen the day before yesterday, twenty-three yesterday, and today, we're likely to exceed thirty. With each Bead priced at ten fire energy, Mo Gang has already earned several hundred fire energy in just a few days! No wonder alchemists and weapon refiner are the most envied professions on the continent."

Hearing Fu Ao's report, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Not bad at all. The Cold Jade Bead's price is a bit high, so it's hard for regular students to afford it, yet the sales have been quite impressive."

"We didn't expect everyone to afford it anyway," Gong Qing remarked respectfully. "Most of those who buy it are reasonably strong and don't mind spending ten days of fire energy. Once they experience the effects of the Cold Jade Bead, they're likely to become devoted fans."

"Among the buyers, Moon Spirit members account for a significant portion, and that's all thanks to Sister Xiao Yu," Li Xing added with a sly smile. "If she hadn't brought so many members to support us, it would've been harder to open the market for Cold Jade Beads so quickly."

"Oh…" Mo Yu chuckled when he heard about Xiao Yu's support.

"By the way, how are the Cold Jade Beads made by the two weapon refiner we recruited? Can they meet the demand?"

Besides refining Cold Jade Beads himself, Mo Yu had also asked Mo Gang members to search for other weapon refiner in the Inner Academy. After all, he couldn't spend all his time refining Cold Jade Beads.

Fu Ao and the others didn't disappoint. They quickly found two weapon refiner in the Inner Academy after Mo Yu's request. Though weapon refiner were scarce, these two were sufficient for Mo Gang's needs. Thanks to Mo Yu's generous offer, they were successfully recruited.

After a few days of observation, Mo Yu taught them the techniques for creating the Cold Jade Bead. Under his guidance, their refinement skills improved rapidly.

"Don't worry, boss. Though there's a slight difference in quality, the Cold Jade Beads they make are almost as effective as the ones you make," Fu Ao assured him.

Mo Yu nodded. The Cold Jade Bead was not a particularly complex auxiliary weapon, and with production handled, he was relieved that he no longer had to make each one himself.

"Oh, and because of the Cold Jade Beads, quite a few students who can't afford them are eager to join Mo Gang. Under your instructions, we've recruited sixteen new members over the past few days, making Mo Gang a force to be reckoned with."

Gong Jun, quick-witted as ever, had been tasked with recruiting new members, and he reported this to Mo Yu with satisfaction.

"Good."

With a smile, Mo Yu nodded. Now that the effects of the Cold Jade Bead were widely known and Mo Gang was growing stronger, he believed that once they reached a certain level, they could even collaborate with the Yuan Manor of Black-Corner Region and establish their influence on the Dou Qi Continent!

"Excellent!"

Taking a deep breath, Mo Yu stood up and scanned the faces of the Mo Gang members in the hall with a smile.

"You've all worked hard. Now that the Cold Jade Beads are selling so well, I won't let your efforts go unrewarded. Fu Ao, Li Xing, and Gong Qing, each of you team leaders will receive thirty days of fire energy.

The remaining senior members can collect ten days of fire energy, and new members will get five days as my reward to everyone!"

"Long live, boss!" Hearing Mo Yu's generous reward, the Mo Gang members in the hall were momentarily stunned before bursting into joy, their excited cheers almost shaking the ceiling.

Mo Gang now had nearly fifty members. With each person receiving ten or five days of fire energy, and the team leaders getting thirty, the total would be over four hundred fire energy—a remarkable sum in the entire Inner Academy.

Under the previous leader, Bai Cheng, this generosity would have been impossible. But with their new boss, not only did they have free Cold Jade Beads, they also received a significant reward—enough to make them ecstatic.

Seeing the high spirits of his people, Mo Yu nodded. He was confident that before long, with the steady influx of new members and the loyalty of the old, any trace of Bai Cheng's legacy in Mo Gang would disappear.

When people spoke of Mo Gang in the future, they would think only of Mo Yu!

With everything in Mo Gang running smoothly, Mo Yu was finally at ease handing control over to Fu Ao and the other two. He then retreated to a quiet room.

Inside, Mo Yu sat cross-legged, holding a small purple chalice in his hands.

Over the past few days, while busy crafting the Cold Jade Bead, he hadn't neglected his soul power cultivation. In fact, the frequent use of soul power during the process surprised him—his soul strength seemed on the verge of a breakthrough.

Initially, even with the aid of the small chalice, Mo Yu had estimated it would take several months to advance his soul power to the fifth-grade. But by a stroke of luck, his soul power had been recovering faster than expected, and now, barely a month into his time at the academy, he sensed a breakthrough approaching.

Excited, he raised the small chalice and gently infused it with his soul power. As he did so, a chant slipped softly from his lips…

With the incantation, a stream of ethereal energy began to flow slowly into Mo Yu's body. This energy, known as spiritual essence, didn't possess the potency of Dou Qi, yet it was incredibly nourishing for the soul.

Spiritual essence was elusive, like a mist, and in ancient times, alchemists had relied on special soul techniques to detect and absorb it. But over time, those arcane soul arts faded, and now few alchemists knew how to sense or harness spiritual essence. To Mo Yu, however, these long-lost arts were hardly rare; he was currently using one known as the Divine Sky Soul Art.

Normally, even though his soul power was notable, Mo Yu was still at the Mortal Realm, and absorbing spiritual essence was something only those at the Soul Realm or the pinnacle of the Mortal Realm could attempt. However, since Mo Yu's soul power was more of a recovery than a breakthrough, he decided to take the risk and draw in the spiritual essence from the surrounding space.

As he meditated, a slight ripple disrupted the calm atmosphere of the room. Mo Yu sensed a familiar fluctuation, and he wasn't startled this time. With his perception, he could identify traces of faint, misty streams of spiritual essence hidden within the thick energy of the environment.

"So, this is the spiritual essence of the Dou Qi continent…"

His awareness honed in on the wisps of energy—delicate, fleeting, and fragile. Without soul techniques, it was no wonder that even the strong practitioners of the Dou Qi continent struggled to perceive this energy.

Now that he could sense the presence of spiritual essence, a faint smile crept over Mo Yu's lips. Once he fully absorbed this spiritual essence, his soul power would gradually approach the Soul Realm.

For him, Soul Realm strength would signify the rank of an eighth-tier alchemist.

But that was still a long way off. For now, Mo Yu focused on pushing his soul power to the fifth-grade.

As the chalice took effect, and with the Divine Sky Soul Art resonating in his mind, the soul in his brow began to pulsate and move faster, hinting at something slowly mending within him.

Time flowed quietly. Days passed, and soon, five days had slipped by since Mo Yu entered the room. The strange phenomena in the room gradually faded, returning it to silence.

Then, on the sixth day, a loud explosion resounded in the room.

"Boom!"

A deafening noise erupted, shattering the once impenetrable ceiling. A formless light burst forth, shooting into the air before halting mid-flight.

An overwhelming soul force, like a tidal wave, surged through the space. The members of Mo Gang outside felt the mighty force and glanced at each other in shock.

"Boss, he…"

After several minutes, the wave of soul force subsided, and Mo Yu emerged slowly from the room.

"Boss!"

Seeing Mo Yu step out, the Mo Gang members lowered their heads respectfully.

For some reason, they felt an indescribable pressure from him—a kind of invisible, yet palpable, soul presence.

"Hmm." Mo Yu nodded, then asked, "Did anything happen in Mo Gang recently?"

After exchanging looks, two of the Mo Gang members shook their heads. One of them then hesitated before speaking up, "Boss, recently a person arrived at Mo Gang asking for you."

"For me?"

"Yes, Boss. You'll see when you go there. If not for the captains' intervention, this person would have barged in to disturb your seclusion."

Hearing this, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow, becoming increasingly curious about the visitor.

In the main hall of Mo Gang, a man in gray robes with red-tinted eyes waited impatiently. Not far from him, Fu Ao and the others watched him warily.

As they maintained this tense standoff, the sound of footsteps shattered the silence, and Mo Yu stepped into the hall.

Seeing him enter, Fu Ao and the others sighed in relief. The gray-robed man opened his eyes slowly, cast a cold glance at Mo Yu, and said flatly.

"So, you're Mo Yu, the leader of Mo Gang? I am Lin Yan, ranked tenth on the Strong List, and I need your help."
