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

Remnant Stone Mountain.

As the setting sun stretched endlessly, it spread out the shadows of the imperial city, allowing the ruined stone mountain to be the first to experience the feeling of darkness descending.

In the mountain hollow, several figures gathered in the woods, talking to each other.

"Seventh Brother, the sun is almost setting. Could the person you mentioned be showing up?"

A rough voice rang out, tinged with dissatisfaction.

The seventh person he was referring to was Zhao Qi, who was the youngest of the seven.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qi turned forward and looked into the distance, but still couldn't find any figure.

So he said, "Fourth Brother, there's still a little while until our agreed time. This person will definitely come."

"Yes, Fifth Brother, we've been keeping information about this broken cultivation technique in the Ten Directions Pavilion for over half a year now."

I only received news yesterday that someone was willing to buy it. I suppose the other party must have known about this technique before deciding to buy it.

Since that person has taken a liking to us, and it was they who made the invitation, I believe they won't easily break their promise.

You need to change your impatient nature. You're always like this, never seeming to have the time or energy to do anything.

Zhao Da, one of the seven, spoke up, offering his analysis and expressing absolute certainty that Su Chen would come.

They accidentally obtained a practice called the Pure Method, and after studying it for nearly a month, they still didn't understand its mysteries.

Whether it's flooding, burning, destruction by Yuan energy, or probing by Yuan spirit, it's all in vain.

So they decided to put it in the Shifang Pavilion for sale.

After waiting for more than half a year, a buyer finally came along.

If the other party isn't interested, they probably won't even ask.

Not to mention arranging a time to trade with them.

That's why he believed that the other party must know this technique.

"Alright, alright, this isn't about my temper. Let's discuss how to deal with this person later."

Zhao Si was somewhat displeased by the reprimand, but out of respect for the other party's status as an elder brother, he had no choice but to change the subject.

Shh, don't talk, someone's coming.

Suddenly, Zhao Qi spoke up. His senses were the sharpest, and he immediately spotted the figure that had appeared ahead.

So he said to the people behind him, "There's only one person. We'll see how things go later!"

Upon hearing this, the other six immediately concealed their presence. Zhao Qi nodded to the six of them, then leaped out of the forest.

"Are you Ding Peng, the one who wants to trade cultivation techniques with us?"

Upon reaching Su Chen, Zhao Qi stopped, cupped his hands, and asked.

"Hmm." Su Chen nodded, then looked at Zhao Qi and asked, "Did you bring the cultivation technique?"

"Did you bring the money?" Zhao Qi didn't answer, but asked in return.

Su Chen silently took out a gourd of pills from his pocket and said, "This contains 70,000 Pure Yuan Pills. Show me the cultivation technique."

Seventy thousand Pure Yuan Pills!

When Zhao Qi saw the gourd in Su Chen's hand, his gaze suddenly turned fiery.

But he quickly calmed down and shook his head, saying, "I need to verify it."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen frowned, but ultimately nodded.

Seeing this, Zhao Qi was not worried that Su Chen was cheating, and released his primordial spirit power onto the gourd.

"As expected, there are 70,000 Pure Yuan Pills!"

He quickly finished his inspection and confirmed that there were 70,000 Pure Yuan Pills in the gourd.

"Where's the secret manual?"

Seeing that the other party had not yet produced the secret manual, Su Chen narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice.

"Secrets?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qi not only did not produce the secret manual, but instead revealed a mocking smile.

"Come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chen saw six figures flying out of the mountains and forests.

All six individuals possessed the aura of martial artists at the Longevity Realm, generally at or above the Great Perfection of the Longevity Realm.

Upon seeing these six people, Su Chen showed no surprise; his focus remained on the manual.

"So, you don't have any secret manuals on you?"

Su Chen's voice was devoid of emotion, as calm as a stagnant pool.

"Haha, I didn't expect there would actually be someone stupid enough to spend 70,000 Pure Yuan Pills to buy such a broken manual."

Before Zhao Qi could speak, Zhao Si burst into wild laughter.
"Since you're so rich, and we brothers are short of money, hand over all the money you have on you to avoid suffering. Looking at your delicate skin, you probably can't take hardship. It's better for you to obey."

Su Chen remained unmoved, repeating his previous question: "Do any of you possess any secret manuals?"

"We certainly have the secret manual, but we don't intend to trade with you. Instead, we plan to steal all the pills you have on you."

Zhao Dalang spoke in a loud, righteous tone.

After all, if you can steal it, who the hell would honestly trade?

Upon hearing this, Su Chen not only didn't get angry, but instead smiled slightly.

What he feared most was not murder or robbery, but the authenticity of the secret manual information.

Now that he knows the seven people really do possess a secret manual, how could he not be overjoyed?

"Very good, this saves me 70,000 Pure Yuan Pills."

These people weren't afraid of being investigated by the Ten Directions Pavilion, so Su Chen naturally wasn't either.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have refused when Shifang Pavilion offered to have someone accompany him.

The other party wanted to kill and rob, which suited his purposes perfectly.

Moreover, that's exactly what he wanted to do!
"Do it!"

Zhao Da noticed Su Chen's odd behavior and immediately made a decision.

The perfect teamwork among the seven was on full display at this moment.

As soon as Zhao Da finished speaking, the seven of them attacked simultaneously, unleashing their immense Yuan power.

The Yuan Power surged into the sky, transforming into seven pillars of light that quickly connected to form a net of Yuan Power.

The net of elemental energy enveloped the sky, like a canopy that covered the heavens and the moon, descending from the sky.

What caught Su Chen's attention was not the sky itself, but the thunder contained within it.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone unleash an attack related to thunder.

The power it contained made his heart pound with fear.

Under the dark curtain of thunder, Su Chen felt an immense sense of oppression permeating every pore and pore of his body.

It was as if they had encountered their nemesis.

The terrifying thing about thunder is that it exerts a strong sense of oppression on everything.

It is extremely yang and strong, possessing the terrifying power to destroy everything.

“My primordial spirit dharma form can also be transformed into a thunder dharma form, but it is not as powerful as the seven people in front of me have shown.”

Su Chen's gaze was sharp as lightning, and his thoughts were crystal clear.

The seven individuals' mastery of the thunderous black curtain was clearly exceptional.

Furthermore, since all seven of them were at the Longevity Realm, the lightning they condensed was much more profound than what he had condensed.

However, this does not mean that the seven people can defeat Su Chen with this move.

The thunder did indeed exert pressure on his body, but it had no effect on his primordial power.

On the contrary, Su Chen could sense that if his Primordial Chaos Power absorbed these lightning bolts, their power would probably be even greater!
Therefore, Su Chen hesitated for only a moment before rushing into the black curtain of thunder.

"What is he going to do?"

The seven people who witnessed this scene were all surprised.

The power of thunder is one of the most destructive forces in the world, and even martial artists at the Divine Power Realm dare not easily contend with it.

This guy in front of me is just a martial artist at the Longevity Realm, yet he charged straight in.

Isn't this asking for death?

Although the seven people did not understand what Su Chen was thinking, their expressions suddenly relaxed when they saw him enter the Thunder Curtain.

It was as if they had foreseen that Su Chen would be blasted into mincemeat by thousands of lightning bolts.

"Look, he, he..."

Suddenly, Zhao Qi screamed, unable to finish a sentence, as if he had seen something.

Upon hearing this, the other six people looked in the direction of the sound.

Upon seeing this, they were immediately astonished as Zhao Qi.

Even more exaggerated. The six people's mouths were slightly open, and their eyes were wide open like copper bells, as if they were about to vomit.

What greeted the seven of them was a scene unlike anything they had ever seen before.

Su Chen did indeed rush in, but he did not perish as they had expected.

Instead, it wandered amidst the lightning, actually resisting it solely with the strength of its physical body.

"Is this...am I dreaming?!"

Zhao Qi muttered to himself, his words becoming incoherent.

Zhao Da didn't answer; he wished he were dreaming.

Otherwise, it would be too impactful.

"Damn it, we can't let him get used to it, or we'll all die! Quickly, kill him!"

After a long moment of stunned silence, Zhao Da finally came to his senses.

He had already realized that Su Chen intended to use the power of lightning to refine his body.

If he succeeds in body tempering, they will be the ones to suffer next.

Therefore, we must not let Su Chen succeed.

Upon hearing this, the six immediately controlled the lightning and desperately bombarded Su Chen.

Didn't you want to strengthen your physique?

Then I'll let you temper yourself to your heart's content!

Su Chen, who was inside the black curtain of thunder, soon sensed the changes in the thunder.

At first it was somewhat docile, but now it has become incredibly ferocious.

The repeated bombardments charred his body.

His hair stood on end, with electric arcs flowing across it.

"That's enough, Primordial Chaos Power, refine it!"

After persisting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Su Han felt his physique reach a critical point.

Knowing that even if he continued to temper himself, the lightning wouldn't bring about much change, he realized that further tempering wouldn't change him much.

He then circulated the primordial energy within his body, first repairing his body, and then releasing it to refine the power of thunder.

His body surface was already covered with a thick layer of calluses from the thunderbolts.

With a soft sound, like an egg cracking open, Su Chen emerged from his cocoon.

"what?!"

The seven people outside were overjoyed to see Su Chen's aura growing weaker and weaker.

They already felt that Su Chen would surely perish under such bombardment.

Who would have thought that Su Chen would suddenly become so energetic?

The aura emanating from him did not suggest that he was weak as if he had been struck by lightning.

Instead, it made the seven people feel a sense of unease.

"He...he's absorbing lightning!"

"How can this be!"

"How did he do that!"

However, what shocked the seven even more was what happened next.

Shortly after Su Chen escaped, his body seemed like a bottomless pit, absorbing all the surrounding lightning power.

The rolling thunder surged into his body, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea, without causing the slightest ripple.

In less than a few breaths, he absorbed all the power of hundreds of lightning bolts.

The raging world quickly returned to clarity.

But all of this deeply affected the seven people.

It wasn't until Su Chen's smiling eyes drifted over that the seven of them snapped out of their daze and jolted awake.

"Run!"

Su Chen was able to absorb the combined lightning power of seven people, meaning he was no longer someone they could handle.

Zhao Da realized what was happening and quickly addressed the other six people.

All six were decisive individuals. Seeing that the situation was not good, they dispersed without Zhao Da's reminder.

They fled to all directions.

Su Chen was prepared, and with a wave of his hand, seven streams of Primordial Chaos Power burst forth.

It contains not only the power of fire and wood, but also the power of thunder.

The three different forces converged and, under the command of the Primordial Chaos Force, unleashed astonishing power.

It is important to know that the power of thunder not only possesses tremendous destructive force, but also unparalleled speed.

Once revealed, even if the seven people were scattered, they could not outrun Su Chen's Primordial Chaos Power.

"what!"

Seven sharp screams rang out from mid-air.

"Huh? One got away?"

Of the seven people struck, six had their physical bodies and primordial spirits destroyed by the lightning, with only one escaping.

The one who escaped was the leader of the seven.

However, Su Chen soon discovered that the reason the other party was able to escape was entirely because he voluntarily abandoned his physical body.

Relying on his physical body, he withstood the attack of the Primordial Chaos Force, allowing his primordial spirit to escape.

Su Chen certainly wouldn't let him leave.

With a swift movement, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and gave chase.

"The power of thunder is indeed powerful. It not only strengthened my physique but also made me much faster."

As Su Chen pursued, he experienced the changes brought about by the power of thunder.

Before they knew it, they had been chasing Zhao Da for half an hour.

"hateful!"

Zhao Da fled for his life, using his fastest speed possible.

Unexpectedly, he still couldn't shake off Su Chen.

This, on the contrary, brought the two sides closer and closer.

This gave him a strong sense of crisis.

Keep in mind that he is currently only in his primordial spirit state. If the opponent uses the same move again...

He has no way to escape; he is doomed to die.

"You want the pure Dharma, don't you? Here you go!"

When the time came, he didn't think about killing and robbing; he simply took out the Pure Dharma from his pocket.

Then he spoke loudly to Su Chen.

After saying that, Zhao Da casually tossed Zhi Jingfa into the distance.

He hoped this would give him more time to escape.

As expected, upon learning that it was Zhi Jingfa, Su Chen abandoned his pursuit of Zhao Da without hesitation and instead chased after the location where Zhi Jingfa had fled.

He reached out and grabbed, and the air in front of him instantly tightened, as if it had solidified.

Soon, he seized the Pure Dharma and put it into his possession.

Su Chen's primordial spirit entered the Pure Dharma and was immediately stunned: "Why is it all blank?"

He immediately realized that the other party had deceived him.

They immediately turned around and chased after the other party again.

"Damn it, didn't we already give him the Pure Dharma? Why did you still come after him?"

Zhao was furious at Su Chen's ruthless pursuit of him.

So what if he robbed Su Chen once? Why are you so relentless and unwilling to let him go?
He was furious, but it was too late; he was powerless to do anything about Su Chen.

They could only run away in frustration.

The distance that had initially widened was shortened again as Su Chen rapidly caught up.

Zhao Da clearly felt that his primordial spirit was becoming increasingly weak and he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Just when he thought he was doomed, he suddenly saw a group of people in front of him, one of whom was a figure that looked very familiar to him.

Upon seeing the other person, Zhao Da's face lit up with joy, and he immediately shouted, "Old Hu, please save my life!" (End of this chapter)
