We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

Chapter 227 The Wonderful Uses of Yuan Shi Dan, Yuan Bing Ge, Zhu Qi Shan Zhuang (5K)

Ten kilometers away.

A slightly disheveled figure staggered out, a hint of apprehension still lingering on his face.

"Just who is this kid? He has such strength that even the prodigies of Shangyuan Palace are no match for him!"

Ning Feng's breathing became somewhat disordered. Recalling his battle with Su Chen, he felt a deep sense of helplessness.

In terms of cultivation level, he was definitely stronger than Su Chen, but even a Yuan Shen realm martial artist would feel his scalp tingle in the face of Su Chen's barrage of Yuan power and Yuan power momentum!
"Regardless of this person's identity, the matter of killing Yuan Qing cannot be left unresolved. I have already notified the sect, and we will take action against this person once the sect's people arrive."

Yuan Qing had a powerful background within the sect, and his status was far beyond what he could compare to. He received news from the sect that they had sent people to meet him and would arrive in Qingyang City soon. It would be easier for the sect to deal with Su Chen then.

"Let's find a place to heal our wounds first."

Ning Feng muttered to himself, planning to find a place to recuperate so that once his cultivation level was stable, this situation wouldn't happen again when he encountered Su Chen.

He wasn't worried at all about losing track of Su Chen, because he had already left a trace of Su Chen's primordial spirit on him.

The aura of the primordial spirit is a unique ability of martial artists at the primordial spirit realm, which can be used to track martial artists.

For martial artists of the same realm, the primordial spirit aura left behind by Ning Feng is easy to detect, but Su Chen is only a Qi Gathering martial artist and may not have that ability.

at the same time.

"In terms of Yuan Power, I am still behind Yuan Shen Realm martial artists, but I can make up for this gap with the Annihilation Draw Sword Technique and the Myriad Forces Technique. Of course, it is also related to the fact that the other party has only recently broken through to the Yuan Shen Realm."

In his post-battle reflection, Su Chen did not become complacent after defeating a Nascent Soul Realm martial artist. He attributed his ability to achieve this to his profound accumulated knowledge and skills.

The nine profound meridians gave him the foundation of Yuan power to contend with Yuan Shen realm martial artists, while the Myriad Powers Technique allowed him to further bridge the gap in power between the two.

"I wonder if I will be able to kill a beginner Nascent Soul martial artist after I break through to the Perfect Realm."

Su Chen couldn't help but think that since he could now force back martial artists at the Nascent Soul Realm, he might actually be able to kill a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator while still at the Gathering Yuan Realm.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it too much. I should go and find out about forging divine weapons first."

Half an hour later, Su Chen arrived at Qingyang City Canyon. The canyon was large and spacious, like a large market, with various buildings lined up one after another, and it had a lively atmosphere even during the day.

The blacksmith shop Su Chen was looking for was located at the end of the canyon. There were several skilled blacksmith shops there. As soon as he walked a hundred meters away from the blacksmith shop, a wave of heat hit him. Looking around, he saw burly men with their upper bodies exposed, forging weapons and armor.

After scanning the area, Su Chen frowned slightly. There were at least eight or ten blacksmith shops on both sides. The weapons they forged would have been considered masterpieces by Su Chen in the past, but now they were not satisfactory to him, because he did not see a single divine weapon.

A sense of unease arose in Su Chen's heart, and as he inquired at one shop after another, this unease became more and more solidified. After asking several shops in succession, he received the same answer: these blacksmith shops could not forge semi-divine weapons, let alone divine weapons.

"If you're looking to forge divine weapons, you've probably come to the wrong place. There isn't a single blacksmith shop in the Qingyang City canyon that can forge divine weapons. You might be lucky enough to buy one here," the blacksmith at the last shop said, shaking his head.

"Then may I ask where one can forge divine weapons?" Su Chen's heart sank a little after hearing this, but he wasn't completely disheartened yet, and he continued to ask.

"Of course it's Yuanbing Pavilion. Yuanbing Pavilion has not only made achievements in the cultivation of divine weapons and martial arts, but it is also very good at forging divine weapons. It's no exaggeration to say that you can see the shadow of Yuanbing Pavilion behind almost every divine weapon on the market." The blacksmith introduced with a bit of longing.

However, he quickly changed the subject, "But guest, if you want to forge a divine weapon, you can go to the Weapon Forging Manor."

"Why is that?" One second they were praising Yuanbing Pavilion, the next they were summoning Su Chen to the Weapon Forging Manor, which puzzled Su Chen.

The blacksmith explained, "Because the Yuanbing Pavilion rarely helps outsiders forge divine weapons. Unless you have connections, even if you can afford a high price, they may not forge one for you. But the Forging Manor is different. As long as you can offer a price that satisfies them, they will forge a divine weapon for you."

"What are the differences between these two companies in forging divine weapons?" Su Chen asked after a moment's thought.

"In terms of the level of forging divine weapons alone, Yuanbing Pavilion is definitely superior, but that does not mean that Casting Manor is inferior to Yuanbing Pavilion. Casting Manor has been able to stand firm in Yuanbing Pavilion's sphere of influence for hundreds of years, so it must have its own unique features." The blacksmith highly praised Casting Manor.

"However, the Forging Manor is not as good as it used to be. Since the previous manor lord disappeared without a trace, the Forging Manor has gradually declined."

Seeing that the blacksmith seemed quite familiar with the Forging Manor, Su Chen couldn't help but ask, "Senior seems to know a lot about the Forging Manor?"

"Haha, I used to work at the Casting Manor, so I know a little bit about it," the blacksmith laughed.

Su Chen became interested upon hearing this, took out a bottle of pills from his pocket containing ten Spirit Essence Pills, handed it to the blacksmith, and asked, "May I ask, senior, if I wish to upgrade my demigod weapon to a mid-level divine weapon, where should I go?"

Above the semi-divine weapon is the primary divine weapon, above the primary divine weapon is the intermediate divine weapon, and the intermediate divine weapon corresponds to the martial artist of the power realm.

Only divine weapons of intermediate or higher rank can use the power of divine weapons.

Of course, this is not absolute.

The Demon-Slaying Sword is a basic divine weapon, but it not only possesses the spirit of a divine weapon, but can also wield the power of a divine weapon.

This clearly does not conform to this pattern, which also illustrates the special nature of the Demon-Slaying Sword.

Whether it was the "senior" that made the blacksmith overjoyed, or the ten spirit pills that worked, the blacksmith pondered for a moment and then replied, "If you have connections, you might as well go to the Yuanbing Pavilion. The Yuanbing Pavilion has many skilled blacksmiths. If you ask them to help, the success rate of forging will be much higher."

If not, you can go to the Forging Manor, but it will cost a lot of money. Find a top-notch, experienced blacksmith; he might not be any worse than the Yuanbing Pavilion…”

The old man then explained the differences between the two to Su Chen in detail, giving Su Chen a preliminary understanding of the Yuanbing Pavilion and the Forging Manor.

"Alright, that's about it." The blacksmith's mouth was a little dry, so he picked up a pot of cold water and gulped it down.

Su Chen thanked him, saying, "Thank you, senior."

The blacksmith's words may seem insignificant to others, but they are very useful to him.

Especially the Yuanbing Pavilion's principle of prioritizing relationships; if I don't find out the details clearly, I'm afraid I'll waste a lot of time.

Although the trip was in vain, he at least got a general idea of ​​the direction. Instead of rushing back, Su Chen wandered around the canyon.

Most of the items in the canyon market were rare, with many strange and unusual things that had a wide range of uses, but they didn't hold much appeal for Su Chen.

Su Chen took some time to go to the so-called auction, but he found out that there were no auctions of divine weapons recently. However, there was an auction tonight. After learning about the auction prices and items, Su Chen gave up in disappointment.

Just to get started, you have to pay a thousand spirit pills, not to mention the prices of the items up for auction inside.

It was basically a price that Su Chen could only dream of.

Of course, not being able to afford them was only a secondary reason; the main reason was that these things were not of much use to Su Chen.

Now he has the skills and the weapons, and cultivation pills are useless to him. It seems that he lacks nothing.

"No, we're still missing Spirit Essence Pills!" Su Chen corrected his thinking, determined not to ignore his poverty just because he didn't need any.

Afterwards, Su Chen bought a map to Yuanbing Pavilion and Casting Manor at the canyon market, and after inquiring about some information, he found that it was not much different from what the blacksmith had said, and he made a decision.

"Let's go check out the Casting Manor first."

After leaving the canyon, Su Chen did not return to Qingyang City. He carried all his important belongings with him and did not need to make a special trip back.

Not long after Su Chen left Qingyang City, Ning Feng woke up from his healing.

"Ok?"

He briefly sensed his own primordial spirit aura and found it to be very weak, as if he were no longer in Qingyang City.

This surprised him.

"I've only been recovering for a day, and the murderer has already left Qingyang City?"

The aura of the primordial spirit has no distance limit, but primordial spirit martial artists do.

He has only just stabilized his realm, and once the aura of his primordial spirit is too far away, he will be unable to sense it.

This is the current situation, and the feeling is getting weaker and weaker, which means that Su Chen is getting further and further away from him.

"No, I have to catch up with the killer first."

Ning Feng quickly made a decision. After carefully sensing the direction Su Chen had left, he found it and then followed him.

half a month later.

Huaye City, Wanhai Chamber of Commerce.

"Sir, ten low-grade Yuan Shi Pills, totaling twenty thousand Ling Yuan Pills," the waiter stated the price.

Su Chen, without changing his expression, took out twenty pill tickets and handed them to the shopkeeper, as if 20,000 spirit pills were a small amount of money to him.

"Guest, please accept this." The waiter was a man of the world, and he quickly finished clearing out the contents, packed the pills, and handed them to Su Chen.

After leaving the Wan Hai Chamber of Commerce, Su Chen went to the money exchange and exchanged two thousand Spirit Yuan Pills.

After purchasing Yuan Shi Dan and exchanging Ling Yuan Dan, most of the spoils from the journey were spent.

During his journey, Su Chen upheld the principle of punishing evil and promoting good, leaving no one unpunished, whether they were bandits or petty thieves. Through these acts of upholding justice and eliminating injustice, he amassed a substantial fortune of 23,000 Spirit Essence Pills in just five days.

Su Chen deliberately set aside two thousand Spirit Essence Pills to advance to the Vajra Iron Shirt technique, and used the rest of the pills to buy Yuan Power Pills.

The reason for purchasing so many Yuan Shi Pills stemmed from a chance attempt by Su Chen.

During one of his practice sessions of the Myriad Powers Style, Su Chen inexplicably swallowed a Yuan Power Pill, instantly opening the door to cultivation.

Before consuming the Yuan Shi Pill, Su Chen needed five days to complete one round of the Xuan Xin Style; after consuming the Yuan Shi Pill, it only took four and a half days.

At first, Su Chen thought it was because he had become more skilled, which shortened the time. Later, he discovered that the Yuan Shi Dan also played a role in this.

In other words, the Yuan Shi Dan accelerated his cultivation of the Myriad Powers Style to some extent.

This is why Su Chen would spend Spirit Essence Pills to buy Yuan Power Pills.

Now, thanks to Su Chen's own unremitting efforts and the slight assistance of taking Yuan Shi Pills, he is able to maintain his ability to complete one round of the Myriad Forms in four days.

The efficiency improvement isn't particularly rapid, but when accumulated, it becomes quite substantial.

"I'm out of money again. I need to find some robbers and bandits to help me out."

Su Chen did not linger in Flower Leaf City and left the city after completing his business.

……

Huayeshan.

It is a mountain range near Huaye City. Following this mountain range, one can reach the territory of Yuanbing Pavilion.

There was no road in the mountains originally, but as more people traveled there, a mountain path was created. The path was wide, and caravans and travelers would pass by from time to time.

"Look, what is that?"

A small caravan was slowly making its way along a mountain path when suddenly someone exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone looked over and immediately saw a dark shadow flash past them in the woods.

The next moment, a sudden gust of wind swept through the once quiet forest, and an angry voice rang out: "You wretched woman, we're both women, you've been chasing me for almost a month, are you really not going to let me go?"

"You are a succubus, you deserve to die!" A cold voice rang out, carrying an inhuman indifference.

Upon hearing this, the dark figure snorted coldly and transformed into a wisp of black mist, disappearing into the crowd.

Seeing this, the owner of the cold voice frowned and shouted angrily, "How dare you!"

"Heh, what wouldn't I dare to do?" The figure in black was disheveled and ignored the woman in black's shouts. She rushed into the crowd, causing chaos, and grabbed a woman and a child. She held them up high and glared fiercely at the woman in black.

"Ah..." The screams of the woman and the child made the woman in black stop in her tracks. She stared at the disheveled woman with a frosty expression.

The disheveled man said coldly, "You wretched woman, if you dare come any closer, I'll kill them all."

"If you dare kill them, I will kill you." Faced with the disheveled threat, the woman in black did not back down.

"When I say 'them,' I mean everyone present. You managed to save one person, but do you think you can save everyone?"

Some passersby had already scattered in all directions in the face of such a situation, but upon hearing this, their speed of escape noticeably increased.

Cang Bei didn't care. These people were generally not very strong, and she could find them without any effort.

Click.

Seemingly to intimidate the woman in black, Cangbei withdrew his hand and strangled her to death.

"You're asking for death!" The woman in black was furious when she saw this and was about to attack.

However, another child suddenly appeared in the battered hand, grinning at the woman in black and saying, "If you dare to lay a hand on me, it won't just be one person who dies, it will be two."

"What do you want?" the woman in black asked in a deep voice, her eyebrows furrowed. She needed to buy time for the others so they could get away from this place as soon as possible.

Cangbei naturally guessed what the woman in black was thinking. She said, "I'll give you ten breaths to consider. Crush your cultivation, or I'll kill all of these people."

With that, she stomped her foot hard on the ground, and vines sprouted from the ground. These vines moved quickly, grabbing more than ten people who hadn't had time to escape and bringing them to her side.

"Help!"

"Please, please save us."

"I, I don't want to die!"

Screams rose and fell, reaching the ears of the woman in black, making her pretty face turn cold.

buzzing.

"Mu'e, don't believe him, this is her evil scheme!" The woman in black was Li Mu'e, and the Demon-Slaying Sword conveyed her meaning.

"I know," Li Mu'e replied in her heart to the Demon-Slaying Sword. "Sister, can you conceal my cultivation level?"

After a moment of silence, the Demon-Slaying Sword said, "It's possible, but I'm not sure if it will be discovered."

"No matter what, let's give it a try. I can't just stand by and watch them die a horrible death."

"it is good!"

The two quickly finished communicating, and Li Mu'e looked at Cang Bei's repulsive face and said, "I agree to your request, but you must release them first."

"Foolish!" Cang Bei scoffed at Li Mu'e in his heart, but readily agreed on the surface, "Alright, but I can only release half for now. I'll release the other half after you cripple your cultivation."

"it is good!"

Before long, half of the people were released by Cangbei, and they fled in panic, fearing that they would be caught by Cangbei again.

Li Mu'e didn't care. Just as she was about to use the Demon-Slaying Sword to conceal her cultivation, a disheveled voice suddenly rang out: "Wait, throw that sword away first."

Along the way, she suffered greatly at the hands of the Demon-Slaying Sword and knew its power all too well.

Regardless of whether Li Mu'e will actually cripple her cultivation, without this demon-slaying sword, Li Mu'e's strength will definitely be greatly reduced, and then she will be at Li Mu'e's mercy.

After hearing this, Li Mu'e hesitated for only half a second before throwing out the Demon-Slaying Sword. Cang Bei did not know that the Demon-Slaying Sword had a spirit, so it didn't matter if she threw it out; on the contrary, it could confuse Cang Bei.

Seeing that Li Mu'e had actually thrown away the demon-slaying sword, a smile appeared on his haggard face: "Now, you may begin."

Li Mu'e remained silent, communicating with the Demon-Slaying Sword in her mind. The Demon-Slaying Sword quickly responded, "It's ready."

After receiving confirmation from the Demon-Slaying Sword, Li Mu'e let out a soft shout, and a surge of powerful Yuan energy rose around her. This Yuan energy did not last long before it completely dissipated, as if it had never existed.

"Hahaha, Li Mu'e, you are truly foolish. Even people lie. Why do you naively believe that I would keep my promise?"

Cangbei was surprised by Li Mu'e's decisive actions and couldn't help but laugh.

"Release them!" the weak Li Mu'e gritted her teeth, her beautiful face overflowing with grief and indignation.

Hearing this, Cangbei didn't care about the lives of a few ordinary people. Just as she was about to release them, her expression suddenly changed.

"You're lying to me!" Cangbei glared angrily at Li Mu'e and roared.

As if sensing their master's anger, the vines quickly contracted, choking everyone who was bound, making it hard for them to breathe.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu'e's heart skipped a beat; she didn't know where she had given herself away.

Seeing the disheveled and tormented state of everyone, Li Mu'e gritted her teeth and prepared to recover her energy to make a move.

Just then, the voice of the Demon-Slaying Sword rang out: "Don't reveal yourself, she's lying to you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mu'e quickly calmed down, her beautiful eyes filled with anger, and she said sharply, "I didn't lie to you."

"I don't believe it!" Cang Bei sneered, with vines flying behind him, dazzling the eye.

As she finished speaking, a tiny ridge suddenly appeared on the ground.

The next instant, a vine burst from the ground, rose up, and whistled down towards Li Mu'e.

At this moment, Cang Bei's cold voice rang out: "I want to see if you have really ruined your cultivation."
