Chapter 159: Chapter 151 Yin Evil Land! (Seeking Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month)
From the ti Chen Yuan advanced to the Qi Absorption Realm, it has only been a short half month or so. Such a terrifying speed of progress, if known to others, would surely shock them beyond asure.
For ordinary martial artists to cultivate, without several years, they could hardly hope to reach the peak of the Qi Absorption Realm, and this includes the aid of elixirs.
Yet Chen Yuan achieved this step all on his own efforts!
Yes, after all, the Phoenix Marrow Energy was obtained by him, so counting it as his own effort was perfectly reasonable.
This was Innate Spiritual Energy that Shen Yanshu had cultivated for over twenty years. Chen Yuan wasn’t so shocked by reaching this point because it was only as it should be.
The Phoenix Marrow Energy itself could allow one’s cultivation to surge, clarify the spirit, cleanse the marrow, refine the body…
Moreover, during the process of transforming the Phoenix Marrow Energy, Chen Yuan could feel that its power was more than just sheer force. Besides the pure strength, there seed to be other mysterious elents hidden within his flesh, waiting for Chen Yuan to discover and explore in the future…
This ti, the gains were substantial!
He reached the peak of the Qi Absorption Realm, and moreover, his realm was extrely stable without a trace of insubstantiality.
Clenching his fist, Chen Yuan looked down at it, feeling very satisfied with the rolling power emanating from within. Although the peak of the Qi Absorption Realm was not considered top-notch in Nanling Prefecture,
it definitely ranked him among the middle and possibly upper echelons.
Because Chen Yuan’s strength couldn’t simply be classified by his realm. With an unmatched physique, sharp saber technique, and strong cultivation, these factors combined made regular Condensing Evil Martial Artists no match for him.
He even wanted to test his might against Heavenly Gang Martial Artists.
As the joy of his rapid improvent in cultivation subsided, Chen Yuan pondered thoughtfully what his next goal should be – Condensing Evil. However, at the mont there were no suitable Yin Evil Lands for him to choose from.
His rits were far from sufficient to exchange for a spot, and even with Tao Qingyuan’s help, he might only get a relatively inferior Yin Evil Land at best.
This was not the choice Chen Yuan wanted.
If he was to choose, it had to be the best.
And the best could only co from a lucky opportunity guiding him…
What he needed most now was Evil Qi. Chen Yuan felt that if nothing unexpected happened, his next guidance should be to so Yin Evil Land. He just had no idea where it could be.
Therefore, he still needed Qi Fortune!
Even though the Qi Fortune Altar did not directly give him any rewards, the opportunities that suited him had delighted him imnsely. Like the Phoenix Marrow Energy and the Supre Mysterious Scripture,
if there had been no guidance, how could Chen Yuan have known of their existence?
But for now, the most urgent concern was when the Qi Fortune child would arrive!
Chen Yuan did not want to delay too long, yet he wasn’t overly anxious as he could deduce an important rule from the unexpected situation.
That was…
Individuals carrying Qi Fortune would inevitably make contact with him, whether actively or passively…
Perhaps, this was so kind of connection between the children of Qi Fortune.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chen Yuan paused for a mont before rising from the bed. He casually threw on a garnt, picked up the saber placed beside the bed, and walked to the courtyard to start swinging his saber.
The sharp light of the saber was repeatedly and chanically swung by him.
Once,
Twice,
Three tis,
A hundred tis,
A thousand tis…
After a full thousand swings, Chen Yuan finally stopped the motion of his hands, and then began to practice the Six Harmonies Saber Technique, transforming strength, and the Wind Controlling Body thod passed down by Tao Qingyuan…
The daily saber practice had beco one of Chen Yuan’s unbreakable habits. Ever since he had cultivated this habit, his ability to draw the saber and strike had increased several folds in terms of potency and speed.
Although these were basic skills, they were equally important not to overlook.
He did not have top-level saber techniques to cultivate, but his diligent daily practice was also an important thod in his offensive arsenal. Moreover, it would also lay the foundation for his future saber technique training.
The Six Harmonies Saber Technique was sothing Chen Yuan learned from Zhao Nanshan, usually not oft-used, and its power was not completely satisfactory. However, transforming strength and the Wind Controlling Body thod were of great interest to him.
Transforming strength involved the manipulation of Fist Power; a re touch or brush against Chen Yuan was enough to shatter one’s internal organs in an instant, making it a devious technique to catch one’s enemies off guard.
As for the Wind Controlling Body thod, it was related to Chen Yuan’s burst speed and life-saving ability.
He had been practicing it for several days and had rely scratched the surface, managing to increase his movent speed slightly.
It must be said that while Chen Yuan’s talent for cultivation was sowhat ordinary, his comprehension was surprisingly excellent. He felt that either he was a genius or the fusion of two souls had significantly enhanced his comprehension.
Originally, Chen Yuan had planned to devote the whole day to cultivation, dedicating his ti solely to it. Since Heavenly Patrol Envoys were not required to report daily to the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, they only needed to wait for tasks,
but the reality did not et his expectations. After about half a day of cultivation, he was interrupted.
The visitor was Yue Shan, sent by Tao Qingyuan to find him.
He imdiately stopped his cultivation and decided to go to the Heavenly Patrol Bureau right away.
Chen Yuan thought it must be either a new mission or sothing related to Bei Le’s death.
Since he had just completed a mission not long ago, the probability of the latter was greater.
Indeed, he hadn’t guessed wrong; as soon as he t Tao Qingyuan, the first question was about Bei Le’s death.
“The illustrious Chen Qingtian has arrived…”
That was Tao Qingyuan’s first statent, with a teasing tone and an implicit warning.
And his reference to “Chen Qingtian” was the new title given to him by so citizens of Nanling City after he had slain Bei Le.
After all, Bei Le’s infamous reputation was quite prominent. By killing him, in the eyes of so, Chen Yuan was a virtuous official.
“My lord jests; those are just nonsense shouts from so townsfolk,” Chen Yuan hastily bowed and apologized.
“Hmph, I certainly don’t think those shouts are nonsensical. I have heard a bit about Bei Le, using Bei Haisheng’s power to bully the common people and commit all kinds of evil. By killing him publicly, haven’t you essentially beco Chen Qingtian?”
Tao Qingyuan snorted softly.
Chen Yuan lowered his head and gazed at the ground without responding. He hadn’t yet figured out Tao Qingyuan’s purpose—was it to praise him or to warn him?
“Tell , why did you kill Bei Le? Don’t use the excuse that he attacked you first. I’ve already read the dossier. You clearly went straight for him,
and those two lon-selling commoners were nothing but a smokescreen for you.”
Chen Yuan’s actions had been quite crude. Although they left no easy handle for criticism, a discerning person could easily deduce his motives.
He had killed Bei Le swiftly and was now waiting for Bei Haisheng to co…
After contemplating for a mont, Chen Yuan spoke with an air of righteous indignation:
“Indeed, I went directly for him. That scoundrel forced himself on young girls and committed all sorts of atrocities, bringing disaster upon the common people. As a Heavenly Patrol Envoy, how could I not stand up for the people?”
“My lord, the foundation of Great Jin’s realm lies in these seemingly insignificant commoners. The court is like a boat, and the commoners like water—they can carry the boat but can also overturn it!”
“In Ping’an County, my family was always humiliated by these rascals. Therefore, I once swore in secret that I would not coexist with evil under the sa sky!”
“My power is limited; I can’t manage affairs too far away, but I can handle what’s before my eyes. Ever since passing by Tingyu Pavilion, I have…”
Chen Yuan spoke gravely, his words carrying a stirring force. With just a few sentences, he portrayed himself as an official who can’t stand corruption and is willing to stand up for the common people.
After listening, Tao Qingyuan remained expressionless but thought to himself:
“Was this an admonition for him to avoid trouble, or was it a lecture for his own benefit?”
Why does it feel so upside down?
“The court is like a boat, and the commoners like water—they can carry the boat but can also overturn it!”
This phrase echoed the words of the governor. Could it be that he had misjudged Chen Yuan?
No…
Tao Qingyuan instantly dismissed his thought.
One could tell from Chen Yuan’s dossier that he was a man with strong intentions, even excessively focused on his own interests, and he was definitely not as he appeared to be.
It was all just an act.
But it must be said, he was quite convincing in his role.
One who didn’t know better would actually believe he was such a person.
There was definitely an ulterior motive behind his move against Bei Le, but that was yet to be discovered.
Tao Qingyuan did not expose Chen Yuan but cautioned instead:
“Your intentions are noble, but be careful not to be too reckless. The power of Bei Haisheng is not sothing you can match. If he had struck at you yesterday, how would you have defended yourself?”
“You are right,” Chen Yuan said, not objecting but simply nodding in agreent.
“Furthermore, are you aware that while you were in conflict with Bei Haisheng, the Gang Leader Shi Yunlong of Changle Gang was watching from not too far away? Even I would not have been able to rescue you in ti.”
Tao Qingyuan warned.
“Thank you, my lord.”
His words confird that he had been at the scene as well, just like Shi Yunlong, he had not revealed himself.
“Don’t thank hastily. Just cause fewer troubles in the future. Lately, Nanling Prefecture is not at peace. The Azure Flood Dragon Association is eagerly encroaching on the interests of Changle Gang, with Dragon Tiger Sect and Shenxiao Hall watching or possibly scheming sothing,
so make sure no one uses you as a pawn…”
Chen Yuan’s pupils narrowed as he nodded.
He had already been aware of movents within the Azure Flood Dragon Association because of the matter with the Yunjiang Four Ghosts, but hearing it from Tao Qingyuan indicated possible upheaval in the short term.
Perhaps…
This was also an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
“Now that you’ve just entered the Qi Absorption Realm, what’s most important is that you cultivate diligently. Bei Haisheng wouldn’t dare to kill you openly to avoid retaliation from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, but in secret… he will certainly not let things go. You must be cautious.”
Tao Qingyuan cautioned.
Before Chen Yuan’s cultivation had been revealed, even Tao Qingyuan couldn’t see that his cultivation had soared considerably and still believed he was just at the beginning of the Qi Absorption Realm. Chen Yuan offered no explanation.
He simply bowed and said:
“I will rember your advice, my lord and take it to heart.”
Regardless, Tao Qingyuan ant well for him.
…
…
While Chen Yuan was preparing to take advantage of the impending unrest, a young man in a slightly worn-out blue robe returned to a certain small county town.
