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

If you're not rich, you really wouldn't dare say that, especially in front of him.

As the number one power in the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Kitagawa family has seen all kinds of rare and precious treasures.

Su Chen dared to say that, so it's obvious he had the confidence to back it up.

Of course, what Kitagawa Takeshi cared about was not Su Chen's confidence, but his attitude.

Su Chen's attitude was much better than that guy's back then.

That's why, after listening to Su Chen's words, he began to think about it seriously.

What is the Kitagawa family lacking right now?
They have no shortage of Gu Masters, Gu worms, or Yuan Stones... It seems they lack nothing.

The Kitagawa family possesses abundant resources, enough to last them for thousands of years.

As the clan leader, he was well aware of this.

But in fact it is not the case.

Originally, they lacked nothing, but since Kitagawa Yu died, they have lacked two things.

A Gu Master at the same level of perfect nine-stage transformation.

A genius Gu master, capable of supporting the future of the Kitagawa family.

Therefore, his requirements were very simple.

"You want me to train a ninth-level Gu Master for you? Their strength must be at least as high as Kitagawa Yu's, and they must leave a bloodline in your Kitagawa family?"

Su Chen could understand the first condition.

After all, Kitagawa Yu was the strongest member of the Kitagawa family, and losing him would definitely have an impact on the Kitagawa family.

But Su Chen didn't understand the second condition.

He knew what Kitagawa Takeshi wanted him to do by leaving his bloodline behind, but the problem was that no matter how high his bloodline talent was, it shouldn't be related to his Gu Master talent.

Besides, he wouldn't have any descendants because of this.

Su Chen remained silent for a moment before finally saying, "I can barely agree to the first condition, but the second condition needs to be handled in a different way."

"What method?" Kitagawa Takeshi asked eagerly upon hearing this.

He doesn't mind any method as long as these two conditions can be met.

In fact, he didn't favor the second condition either.

Because the talent of a Gu Master has never been based on bloodline inheritance.

The reason for asking Su Chen to leave behind his bloodline was twofold: firstly, to leave Su Chen with something to hold onto, and secondly, out of a sense of wishful thinking.

What if Su Chen's bloodline possesses a high talent for Gu refining?

At that time, the Kitagawa family will make a fortune.

Unfortunately, Su Chen refused, even though he had expected it.

Fortunately, Su Chen offered another solution: "I can help you train a successor, and you can choose who it is yourself."

"Train?" Kitagawa Takeshi was taken aback.

Su Chen didn't explain further; he had his own way of doing things.

"Let me think about it, how about that?" Kitagawa Takeshi did not immediately agree.

Su Chen nodded: "Okay, but you only have one day."

He didn't plan to stay at the Kitagawa family's house for too long.

A day is enough time for Kitagawa Takeshi to make a decision.

Kitagawa Takeshi had no objection.

After their conversation, Su Chen stayed at Beichuan's house for the time being.

the next day.

Kitagawa Takeshi approached Su Chen and expressed his thoughts: "I agree to your conditions."

"Did you bring the person?" Su Chen noticed a young man standing outside the door and asked.

Kitagawa Takeshi didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "I brought it."

As he spoke, he waved towards the door, signaling the boy to come in.

After the boy entered, he looked at Su Chen without saying a word.

Clearly, Kitagawa Takeshi had already explained the reason to him before bringing him here.

Looking at the other person's somewhat similar appearance to Kitagawa Takeshi, Su Chen chuckled and said, "No problem, you go out, he stays."

"how long it takes?"

Before leaving, Kitagawa Takeshi asked a question.

He was still a little worried.

"One day at most."

Upon hearing this reply, Kitagawa Takeshi's gaze visibly sharpened. He gave Su Chen a deep look before walking out of the room.

The moment he stepped out, the entire room was enveloped by an invisible force.

This force naturally did not escape Kitagawa Takeshi's notice. He stopped and gazed at it, but did not leave.

His eyes held a complex expression.

inside the house.

Only Su Chen and the boy remained.

Su Chen didn't say anything, but stood up and came to the boy.

The boy was about to speak when he suddenly felt drowsy, and soon he fell into a deep sleep.

Immediately, Su Chen drew upon the Yin-Yang Immortal Qi within his body and channeled it into the boy's body.

Although he couldn't cultivate a peerless genius who could refine Gu, he could enhance the other person's talent through Yin-Yang Immortal Qi.

The Yin-Yang Immortal Qi could even transform a physical body like his, which had reached the limit of supernatural powers, let alone a body like a young man's.

Improving one's physical condition may not necessarily enhance one's talent, but it can at least increase one's cultivation speed.

Of course, if things really do improve, that would be good news for Su Chen.

Anyway, there's no harm in giving it a try.

With Su Chen around, there's no danger to his life.

Time flows like water, passing swiftly.

Under Su Chen's skillful control, the process of Yin-Yang Immortal Qi transforming his body was very easy.

The modification was completed in less than half a day.

After it was over, Su Chen opened the door and saw Kitagawa Takeshi waiting outside.

Kitagawa Takeshi was taken aback when he saw Su Chen nod at him, then quickly went inside and found the unconscious boy.

He came to the boy's side, but instead of waking him up, he channeled his Yuan energy into him.

When he discovered that his Yuan Power was flowing smoothly and without any abnormalities within the boy's body, his expression became solemn. In particular, when he discovered the incomparably pure Yuan Power in the boy's Yuan Aperture and the expanded walls of the aperture, his eyes were filled with deep shock.

"It actually improved!"

He could not hide his surprise and muttered to himself, his heart filled with shock.

Enhancing talent and improving physique were quite astonishing, even to him.

Throughout the entire Ten Thousand Mountains, let alone seeing it, I've never even heard of it.

Because the normal methods simply don't work.

They can only resort to crooked and unorthodox methods.

However, any method used in unorthodox or unethical ways has more or less side effects, but that's not the main issue.

The most important thing is that even if you could do it, you couldn't be as perfect as the boy.

If he's not mistaken, the boy whose talent was modified by Su Chen will definitely reach the level of a Nine-Turn Gu Master in the future.

His talent, in some respects, is even greater than that of Kitagawa Hajime back then!
"Dad, what happened to me? That guy, he, he knocked me out!"

At this moment, the boy woke up and quickly recalled what had happened. His tone was hurried and filled with dissatisfaction.

"Yun'er, you should try cultivating!"

Testing with elemental energy wasn't accurate enough, so Kitagawa Takeshi wanted to double-check. This matter was of utmost importance and could not be taken lightly.

He didn't want it to be all for nothing!

Upon hearing this, the young man disregarded Su Chen and immediately sat cross-legged to begin cultivating.

As he cultivated, Kitagawa Takeshi could clearly feel the changes in the surrounding elemental energy, as if it were being summoned and all of it was converging on the boy.

This speed of absorbing Yuan energy is comparable to that of a seventh-level Gu Master.

Moreover, he discovered that the Yuan energy absorbed by the boy was filtered out of impurities and became exceptionally pure when it entered his body.

"This is truly unbelievable!"

Kitagawa Takeshi's eyes lit up as he looked, and he exclaimed in amazement.

He was more aware of the significance of this change in the boy than Su Chen was.

As long as the boy doesn't perish in the future, he will definitely become another Nine-Turn Gu Master in the Beichuan family. At that time, he can rightfully pass on the position of clan leader to him. In this way, their lineage can continue to control the Beichuan family.

In an instant, he thought of many things, his expression changed repeatedly, and finally he fell silent.

"Okay, stop now!"

Kitagawa Takeshi called out to the boy, then stood up and came to Su Chen, cupping his hands and saying, "Thank you for improving my son's aptitude."

"No need. How's the second candidate coming along?"

Su Chen waved his hand, this matter was not worth mentioning to him.

He is still more concerned about the next candidate.

Kitagawa Takeshi nodded: "I have made my choice, it is I!"

"you?"

Su Chen let out a soft "hmm," a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Kitagawa Takeshi's strength is at the eighth-order perfect realm, not much different from the ninth-order. If he cultivates diligently for about a hundred years, he can break through to the ninth-order Gu Master. Unexpectedly, he would take the initiative to improve his cultivation, and Kitagawa Takeshi's lifespan is more than enough to support his breakthrough.

Despite his doubts, Su Chen didn't ask any further questions and nodded in agreement.

Before Kitagawa Takeshi could be happy, he changed the subject: "Don't be too happy yet. I have already shown my sincerity, so now it's your turn to show your sincerity."

"What do you need me to do?"

Kitagawa Takeshi calmed down and asked, "Since it's a transaction, it's understandable for both sides to show sincerity."

He vaguely guessed what Su Chen was thinking, but did not ask him directly.

Sure enough, Su Chen then said, "I want to see the One Qi Escape Immortal Gu!"

He didn't want to wait until all the conditions were met only to be told that the Kitagawa family didn't actually have the One Qi Escape Gu.

Although the other party will pay the price later, it will waste a lot of his time.

Therefore, he needs to inspect the goods before making a purchase.

“Okay!” Kitagawa Takeshi readily agreed.

After the two reached an agreement, Kitagawa Takeshi led Su Chen to the Kitagawa family's ancestral home.

The ancestral land is heavily fortified, and no one can enter without a guide; moreover, only the clan leader is allowed to enter.

However, Su Chen is an exception right now.

Under Kitagawa Takeru's elaborate disguise, Su Chen followed him into the ancestral land.

After passing through nearly a hundred traps, the two arrived outside a formation.

Kitagawa Takeshi stopped and said, "You can only stand here and watch. No one without the Kitagawa family bloodline can enter the formation. The One Qi Escape Immortal Gu is inside the formation. I will release it later, but it won't take long. How about it?"

“Okay!” Su Chen nodded.

He did not heed Kitagawa Takeshi's warning.

This formation might not actually be able to stop him.

However, he had no intention of seizing it. The formation could not stop him, but it would take him time to break the formation, even if it required brute force.

If he really does that, Kitagawa Takeshi will probably resort to other means.

If the Qi Escape Immortal Gu is destroyed, it will be a great loss.

Kitagawa Takeya knew all this, so he wasn't worried at all that Su Chen would make a move.

The moment he entered the formation, it was activated, revealing an invisible, murderous force hidden within it.

After Kitagawa Takeshi's series of actions, about half an hour later, a divine aura suddenly emanated from the formation.

Su Chen knew that this was the Qi Escape Immortal Gu.

"It's the power of space!"

Duan Tian Dao spoke at the opportune moment, sensing the spatial power of the Qi Escape Immortal Gu.

This spatial power was extremely strong, far more powerful than any spatial-type Gu worms he had encountered before, and it carried a terrifying power capable of shattering the void.

Su Chen remained silent after hearing this, gazing calmly at the Qi Escape Gu.

A moment later, as Kitagawa Takeshi had said, he wouldn't release the One Qi Escape Gu for too long and quickly hid it away again.

He stepped out of the formation and came to Su Chen. When he saw Su Chen's expression, his heart suddenly tightened.

The other party did not show any joy upon seeing the Qi Escape Immortal Gu; instead, their face was filled with solemnity.

The next second, Su Chen's gaze fell on him, and he said something that almost made his heart stop beating: "This Gu worm probably won't live much longer. Its lifespan is almost over, and you didn't tell me that!"

The voice was icy cold, carrying a chill that instantly made the air feel bone-chilling, and made his heart leap into his throat.

He had no doubt that Su Chen could kill him at any moment.

Suppressing his unease, Kitagawa Takeshi forced himself to say, "It is true that I did not explain this matter clearly. The One Qi Escape Immortal Gu has indeed aged considerably, but that does not mean it cannot be used. In fact, as long as the Gu worm is not dead, it can still be used no matter how weak it is."

“But that requires luck!” Su Chen said in his usual tone.

Who knows if the Qi Escape Gu will die when he uses it? Traveling through space is not so easy. A slight mistake could lead to death. If they encounter spatial turbulence and don't have any Gu worms, they will surely die. This is completely playing with their lives.

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Kitagawa Takeshi didn't know what to say. He could only suggest, "How about we use a lifespan Gu on the Gu worms?"

The Life-Extending Gu can not only increase the lifespan of the Gu Master, but also the lifespan of the Gu worm.

And the Kitagawa family has no shortage of life-extending Gu!

This is the only solution he can think of at the moment.

Even he himself did not expect that Su Chen would be able to see the abnormality of the Qi Escape Gu in such a short time.

He thought the other party wouldn't find out until the transaction was completed.

He miscalculated.

Su Chen glanced at Kitagawa Takeshi, seemingly deep in thought, and quickly replied, "Okay, but I need to add one condition!"

"What conditions?"

"I want to enter the place where your Kitagawa family raises Gu worms to select Gu worms, in any quantity."

Upon hearing this, Kitagawa Takeshi's expression suddenly changed.

He didn't care about selecting the Gu worms, but having no limit on the number was a big problem, and he absolutely could not agree to that.

"Don't worry, I'll refine it on the spot, and you can test it then!"

Su Chen noticed Kitagawa Takeshi's worry and added a comment.

"Refine it on the spot?"

Kitagawa Takeshi began to consider it.

The number of Gu worms a Gu master can refine is limited; even the most skilled Gu master has a limit to the number of Gu worms they can refine.

Even if a ninth-level Gu Master refines a first-level Gu Master, the maximum number of Gu Masters would not exceed one hundred.

This means that even if Su Chen refines all the first-stage Gu worms, the maximum number he can achieve is only this.

The Kitagawa family possessed tens of thousands of Gu worms, making this number merely a drop in the ocean.

Moreover, the lower the level of the Gu worm, the easier it is for the Kitagawa family to cultivate, so they don't care about it.

With that in mind, Kitagawa Takeshi finally agreed to Su Chen's request: "Okay, let's go now!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen smiled... (End of Chapter)
