Chapter 62 Descending the Mountain to Cultivate the Bitter Sea Technique
Chapter 62 Descending the Mountain to Cultivate the Bitter Sea Technique
"It's not really their fault that the disciples of the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't withstand it back then."
After experiencing the effects of the calamity, Chen Ren became even more withdrawn.
Just across the mountain, Su Rentong had reached the end of the Qi Condensation stage, the Great Perfection realm.
"Master, I feel that I have something weighing on my mind. If I don't deal with it, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the Qi Refining Realm."
Su Rentong found Wenren Yu. She had excellent aptitude and had actually reached the ninth level of Qi Condensation long ago, but she had been working on perfecting it.
But now, it always feels like something's missing.
"Your resolve is in turmoil; could it be a thief you failed to catch before?"
Wenren Yu said calmly, "Cultivation involves tribulation energy. Although the Azure Wood Essence you cultivate is compatible with your Wood Spirit Root constitution, it is still inferior to the Supreme Clarity Immortal Light. I'm afraid you'll have to handle this matter yourself."
"Why don't you go down the mountain for a walk? Logically speaking, the tribulation energy you've accumulated is just a minor problem, at most a serious injury. You can clear it up after you go down the mountain to face the tribulation."
"Thank you for your guidance, Master."
Su Rentong suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. She was wondering why she felt more and more restless the more she cultivated."
"Master, where should I go?"
Su Rentong asked curiously, "You're very knowledgeable, do you have any recommendations?"
"Where to?"
"That's a good question," Wenren Yu pondered for a moment and said:
"Why don't we go to Xiaoqing Kingdom in Yucheng? It's in dire need of rebuilding, full of opportunities. Plus, Xiaoqing Kingdom suffered a mass extinction once, so there's no danger from alien races right now."
"Then this disciple will go back and prepare."
Su Rentong clasped her hands in a fist salute and was about to leave when Wenren Yu asked her to wait.
"You're about to reach the Qi Refining Realm, and since you need something to protect yourself when you go down the mountain, I've picked out a good magic weapon for you."
Wenren Yu took out a small box from her bosom and gently opened it.
Ritual implements!
Su Rentong's eyes lit up. The previous Frost-Cleansing Sword was only half a magic weapon. When she tested it, she found that it was extremely powerful and could probably even injure those who were refining qi.
Just how powerful is this entire magical artifact?
Inside the box, a small bow floated gently, and surprisingly, the words "Destiny" were engraved on its body.
Destiny and fortune, destiny and death.
This small bow is made entirely of ancient spirit ore and was crafted by a skilled weapon refiner. It comes with three tiny arrows.
"Although this item is a magical artifact, it can unleash different levels of power depending on the material of the arrow. If it is an arrow of the spirit weapon level, it can even unleash a spirit weapon level attack."
Wenren Yu carefully handed it to Su Rentong and instructed him:
"You have excellent aptitude and are a strong contender for this year's top scholar. The sect values you highly. With these three arrows, even someone at the early stage of Qi Refining would be cut down by you. Do not use them unless absolutely necessary."
Speaking of this, Wenren Yu remembered that Su Rentong was always having things stolen from him, and couldn't help but add a word of advice:
"This treasure is very expensive. If you lose it, the sect won't be able to get you another magic artifact. Don't tell anyone, lest others covet it."
Su Rentong carefully put it away and promised not to tell anyone.
"That's good."
Wenren Yu nodded. If that thieving brat comes again, he'll have to taste the power of fate.
On the other side, Chen Ren also received good news.
"Greetings, guest. The master who transmitted the Bitter Sea Technique has returned and is currently residing in the capital city of Xiaoqing Kingdom. If you wish to learn it now, you may travel to the capital city to study."
Little Qing Kingdom? It seems that it has become a coveted prize for various factions.
It is said that because the land was given to the gods and people, the land there is now extremely valuable.
All forces are rushing there to settle down; opportunities abound, with contracts for real estate development and mineral development being fiercely contested.
There are even people building signal towers there. He took Sanfu Town there early and became a real estate tycoon in a roundabout way.
"I'll go see if they're adjusting well to life in Sanfu Town."
Chen Ren packed his things and prepared to leave, while glancing at his sword-drawing points.
【1321】
Not too many, but not too few either; enough to break the limit once, and also enough to perform a causal sword-drawing maneuver once.
But he always felt it wasn't enough.
"If I were to face an enemy at the Acquired Realm, wouldn't I be crushed in two moves?"
He closed his eyes and pondered, but felt it was not a safe place, so he arranged to go again a week later.
During this week, he replaced his cultivation with spirit stones, only daring to cut through the tribulation qi. He cultivated the Longevity Technique to the third level of Qi and Blood, and the Great Cave True Scripture also entered the fourth level of Qi Condensation.
The superior spiritual root is really useful. Although the cultivation time is much later than that of the Longevity Technique, the Great Cave True Scripture actually made me a small realm faster!
A week later, his sword-drawing value reached 2205 points, and he decided to go down the mountain.
My senior brothers and sisters are very busy and I haven't seen them for a long time. However, Senior Sister Ren Renren paid off her debt of Luo Qi Dan to him yesterday.
Of the nine payouts and thirteen returns, Chen Ren didn't want the three returns; he only took the interest from the first payout and returned the rest of the money.
As a result, his door was knocked on that very day.
"Junior brother, junior brother!"
Ren Renren's face beamed with undisguised joy: "What are you doing? Come on, your senior sister will treat you to a meal today, let's go out to eat!"
She's been saving money and hasn't eaten out in a long time.
"Huh? You're going out?"
She saw that Chen Ren had packed his luggage; he planned to go to Xiaoqing Kingdom today.
"Yes, I'm planning to go to Xiaoqing Kingdom to find a teacher and learn some skills."
Chen Ren didn't say he was going to learn the Bitter Sea Technique, firstly because it was too expensive and he was afraid his fellow disciples would be jealous, and secondly because he planned to keep it as a trump card, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
"I see."
Ren Renren was a little disappointed: "I was going to treat you to dinner."
"Senior sister, would you like to come with me? You can treat me to a meal there."
Chen Ren said with a grin, "Just think of it as giving myself a vacation."
He hadn't originally planned to invite Ren Renren, but the first thing she did after becoming rich was to treat him to a meal.
This made Chen Ren feel guilty, as if he were a bad person.
He saves his money quietly.
"This...this..."
Ren Renren was not good at refusing, especially since she had already said she would treat him to dinner, so she could only grit her teeth and nod in agreement.
[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +1]
"Junior brother, wait for me to pack my things."
Chen Ren smiled as he remarked that he hadn't received such a low sword-drawing value in a long time.
As she turned around, she effortlessly slashed at the turbid yin energy on its body, reaping the reward of +1 to the karmic sword binding.
Immortals cultivate pure Yang. He had previously severed the turbid Qi in the spiritual root of his senior brother Liu Qi, so slaying Ren Renren now would be a piece of cake, and he would definitely not miss.
The latter, who had not cultivated, was unaware of what had happened, only feeling much lighter in body and mind.
It seems I really need to give myself a break and balance work and rest.
100 sword-drawing points weren't much, so Chen Renshun also severed the Yin-turbid Qi of Wang Chengxian's spiritual root, who was cultivating next door, and gained another bound leek.
"Holy shit, holy shit!"
Wang Chengxian immediately stopped cultivating and jumped up and down in the room, making a lot of noise.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother?"
Chen Ren knocked on the door and asked with a grin. The latter couldn't hide his joy and was about to speak...
He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly thought that his junior brother's spiritual root was not good, and wondered if what he said would discourage him.
So he tried to smooth things over, his face beaming with even more joy as he said, "Enough of that, something good happened today, I'm treating everyone to dinner!"
"Senior brother, you're so rich, how about we go eat at Little Qing Kingdom?"
Today must be a good day at Shangqing Palace. Chen Ren, Ren Renren, and Wang Chengxian are together again, but this time they are going out for fun together, without the pressure of before.
Along the way, Ren Renren was overjoyed to have gained more than 300,000 yuan for free, while Wang Chengxian was elated because of his pure Yang spiritual root.
Chen Ren appeared calm, but he was actually quite excited, as he was about to begin cultivating the best version of the Bitter Sea Technique.
They boarded a bus bound for Yucheng. It was Tao Yuniang, an old acquaintance, though there was nothing they could do; he was now an unregistered resident.
But when Tao Yuniang saw him, her face turned extremely ugly. She didn't want to talk to him, but Chen Ren grabbed her and she had no choice but to leave.
Oh no, it's that kid again! Damn it, we're doomed to lose this job again.
[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +20]
"parking."
Halfway there, a voice suddenly rang out, and the bus the three were riding in was stopped.
"Which bastard ruined my schedule?" Tao Yu Niang was already angry, and now she got out of the car and shouted angrily, wanting to see who was causing trouble. But the next second, she was kicked back into the car!
"puff……"
Tao Yuniang coughed up blood, and two men wearing tall hoods walked out of the carriage.
They must be the ancient human race. They coldly boarded the vehicle, bought tickets, and paid the money.
"Why are you stopping us if there's nothing wrong with that?"
One of them glared at Tao Yuniang, then glanced at Chen Ren. There was no way around it; he was the best-looking one there.
Chen Ren avoided eye contact, frowning. These people... they seem so familiar, as if he's seen them somewhere before.
