Chapter 106: Rude and Unreasonable
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Chen Fei was thinking in the courtyard about how to make better use of the function of the jade pendant.
Although strengthening a portion of his meridians would allow his proficiency in the Origin Connection Technique to increase even faster, Chen Fei wanted to directly absorb Vital Energy. After all, this was the most practical.
“The jade pendant’s ability is not enough to just recreate another Receival Bead.
I wonder if it can add some power to the Receival Bead to increase its ability a little.”
Chen Fei was rubbing his chin and thinking about the details when he saw Chi Defeng return with a smug look on his face.
“How is it?” Chen Fei asked curiously.
“It’s just a woman. How difficult can it be?”
Chi Defeng laughed loudly and continued, “I’ve already gotten her to undo the secret technique. If she didn’t, I’m afraid she won’t be able to get out of bed for a few days.”
Chi Defeng wasn’t boasting. If he was not worried that someone would die and incur the wrath of the Drunken Red Pavilion, Chi Defeng would have been even more ruthless.
Now, not only had Chi Defeng removed the hidden danger in his body, but he had also sucked back a lot of Vital Energy. He had even taken another step forward, and there was hope for him to break through to the Marrow Tempering realm.
Chen Fei also noticed the change in Chi Defeng’s aura. From the beginning, he was on the verge of dropping his cultivation level, but now, he actually had hope of breaking through. It was truly a world of difference.
Chen Fei was a little envious.
However, this kind of essence was somewhat impure, so Chen Fei couldn’t really use this method. Chi Defeng certainly didn’t care if it was pure or not. If he could break through to the Marrow Tempering realm, it would be a huge gain.
“In the future, it’s better not to go to the Drunken Red Pavilion. Let’s end this matter here,” Chen Fei whispered.
He had taught Bai Xinghui a lesson and allowed Chi Defeng to benefit from the Vital Energy that she had worked so hard to obtain. This could be considered as letting this matter go.
“I know. I’m already satisfied with this.”
Chi Defeng nodded. He understood this. Now that things had turned out this way, it had already far exceeded his expectations. What else could he be unhappy about?
In the afternoon, Chen Fei drank some wine with Chi Defeng before returning to the Primordial Sword Sect.
With Chi Defeng’s matter settled, Chen Fei resumed his daily cultivation state. Now that everything was developing in a good direction, Chen Fei naturally had no reason to slack off.
“Bang!”
On the way back to the sect, Chen Fei had just stepped over a hill when a loud boom came. Chen Fei looked up and saw two people fighting.
From the looks of it, both of them were Marrow Tempering martial artists. One of them was much stronger and currently had the upper hand. However, if he wanted to truly win, it would probably take a lot of time.
Chen Fei took a glance and did not meddle in other people’s business. He planned to take a detour.
Chen Fei had already seen this kind of fight a few times on this road. Every time Chen Fei heard the sound, he would avoid it far away to avoid any trouble.
“That friend, don’t leave yet. Help me capture this person and I will definitely reward you handsomely!” Shen Dingyan’s eyes lit up when he saw Chen Fei.
“He’s a murderer and a robber, he might kill you too!” The other person’s expression contorted as he shouted.
“Nonsense! When I capture you later, I’ll tear your mouth apart first!” Shen Dingyan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light shone in his eyes.
“The two of you can resolve your own matters. I have no intention of partic.i.p.ating.”
Chen Fei threw down these words, turned around, and ran into the distance. Chen Fei didn’t believe that he would thank him heavily. Even if he did, Chen Fei would not stay.
“You’re a disciple of the Primordial Sword Sect, right?”
Shen Dingyan looked at the direction Chen Fei ran in and Chen Fei’s clothes. He could not help but shout, “I’m a disciple of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. This person insulted my sect, so I hope you can help me!”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Another person cursed.
Chen Fei’s figure paused for a moment, but he did not stop or reply. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the forest.
Chen Fei heard the explosion behind him and frowned. He did not expect to meet a disciple of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. However, this matter had nothing to do with him. He didn’t want to get involved and get into trouble.
After returning to the sect, Chen Fei first finished refining the Eternal Floating Pill. Then, as usual, he began to cultivate the Origin Connection Technique.
Six hours later, Chen Fei’s mental strength had already recovered by half. Chen Fei began to experiment with the coordination between the jade pendant and the Receival Bead.
Five days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.
In the room, Chen Fei activated his Spirit Tool Comprehension and activated the Receival Bead and the jade pendant at the same time. The faint light from the jade pendant was added to the Receival Bead. In the next moment, a suction force pulled the surrounding Vital Energy.
The circle of light on the Receival Bead shattered, and the jade pendant’s faint light also disappeared. Chen Fei endured the pain in his head and circulated the Origin Connection Technique with all his might.
After a full 15 minutes, Chen Fei’s slightly trembling body finally stopped.
Opening his eyes, Chen Fei’s eyes were filled with joy.
It was a success. After a period of experimentation, Chen Fei had finally combined the functions of the two half-spirit weapons. Chen Fei looked at the message on the panel and could not help but laugh out loud.
His inner strength had increased by more than 700 points. Compared to the original 500 points of inner strength that he had gained from using the Receival Bead alone, it had increased by almost half. Coupled with the pills and the support of the Origin Connection Technique, Chen Fei’s inner strength growth in a day exceeded a thousand points.
Even if the other conditions remained unchanged, Chen Fei could break through to the Marrow Tempering realm in less than two months.
It had not been long since he had broken through to the Bone Tempering realm in Apricot Fen City. The originally planned time of more than a year was now completely compressed.
“The path of martial arts is still very long. I still have to continue working hard!”
Chen Fei sat down cross-legged again and began to cultivate the Tranquil Origin Technique.
Mind power was related to the future of the Aperture Tempering realm. Even now, if his mind power were strong enough, it would give Chen Fei more time to control the jade pendant.
When his mental strength grew, Chen Fei could use the jade pendant to continue to stabilize his meridians. He would not be like now, where all his mental strength was used to guide Vital Energy.
“You’re getting married?”
Early the next morning, Chi Defeng delivered the medicinal herbs. The first thing he said when he saw Chen Fei stunned him.
“Yeah, after so many years, it’s time to find someone to be with.” Chi Defeng said with a smile.
“Where are you going to find one?”
Chi Defeng was actually already over fifty years old. It was just that the foundation of a martial artist made him look quite young. At this time, it was quite normal to want to find someone to live together.
“You’ve seen her before.” Chi Defeng said mysteriously.
“I’ve seen her before?”
Chen Fei’s brows twitched slightly. Looking at Chi Defeng’s rather smug appearance, a thought flashed through his mind. He looked at Chi Defeng with widened eyes.
“Bai Xinghui?” Chen Fei asked with some uncertainty.
“Hahaha, what are you thinking?” Chi Defeng laughed proudly.
Chen Fei wiped his forehead. A few days ago, the two of them were like fire and water. If they were going to become a family all of a sudden, that would be too strange. Chen Fei even suspected that Bai Xinghui was plotting something or that Drunken Red Pavilion was plotting something.
Then who is it?”
“It’s Lan ‘er who came with the Immortal Cloud Merchant Band. Do you remember?” Chi Defeng said with a smile.
Chen Fei thought back and had a slight impression, but the two of them did not expect to be able to contact each other.
“We set up two tables at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant this afternoon. Come drink with us?” Chi Defeng invited.
“Good!
Chen Fei smiled and nodded. He knew that Chi Defeng was a little scared of the Drunken Red Pavilion, so he might as well find someone to live with.
“Hahaha, let’s go find Brother Guo again!” Seeing Chen Fei agree, Chi Defeng laughed loudly.
The two of them came to Guo Linshan’s house, but after knocking on the door, they didn’t see him.
Chen Fei asked around and found out that Guo Linshan had gone into seclusion to consolidate his foundation and prepare for the true inheritance.
The two of them rushed to the Immortal Cloud City. Chen Fei met Lan Yunzhi in a private room of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
Compared to the time when she was in the convoy, Lan Yunzhi looked much better now. After all, she was exposed to the wind and the sun. Although she couldn’t be compared to Bai Xinghui, she was still pretty.
Chi Defeng did not hold a grand banquet because he did not know many people in the Immortal Cloud City. Other than Si Yuanhai and a few others, Chi Defeng only had some friends he had made when he set up his stall, as well as Lan Yunzhi’s family.
He did not do any etiquette. Chi Defeng got married for the sake of living. Chi Defeng did not care about the red tape, and Lan Yunzhi naturally did the same.
The banquet lasted for an hour before everyone gradually dispersed.
Chen Fei found a seat by the window in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant and ordered a pot of tea. He watched the people coming and going below.
He did not cultivate today, but Chen Fei felt a long-lost sense of ease.
“One for tension and one for relaxation, the path of literature and martial arts.
It seems that I have to take a break sometimes.”
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Chen Fei leaned back in his chair and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Listening to the zither music, Chen Fei felt as if he was floating in the clouds. His entire body and mind calmed down.
The Origin Connection technique in his body began to circulate automatically, unlike his usual rapid and vigorous advance. At this moment, there was only a calm and unhurried aura permeating the surroundings.
“It’s him!”
On the street, Shen Dingyan saw Chen Fei, who was taking a nap in Drunken Immortal Restaurant, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
“Senior Brother Shen, what’s wrong?” Xu Yuanchun asked curiously when he saw Shen Dingyan stop in his tracks.
“Didn’t I tell you a few days ago that I wanted to kill someone, but that thief escaped?”
Xu Yuanchun thought for a moment before nodding his head. That matter had made Shen Dingyan extremely furious.
“At that time, a disciple of the Primordial Sword Sect pa.s.sed by and could have reached out to deal with that thief. In the end, he ignored my request and caused that thief to escape!” Shen Dingyan said as he walked towards the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
“The disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect are too ignorant. A small sect is really not good!” Xu Yuanchun nodded in agreement.
“If I see that disciple of the Primordial Sword Sect, do you think I should have a good talk with him?” Shen Dingyan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Xu Yuanchun.
“Of course, that thief escaped. That disciple of the Primordial Sword Sect is at least half at fault!” Xu Yuanchun said with certainty.
“Just half?”
“It’s all that Primordial Sword Sect disciple’s fault. If he was willing to stay, wouldn’t everything be fine?” Xu Yuanchun thought for a moment and changed his words.
“I think so too!”
As Shen Dingyan spoke, he came to the second floor and walked in front of Chen Fei. Suddenly, he slapped Chen Fei.
Chen Fei opened his eyes and leaned back. Shen Dingyan’s palm swept past
Chen Fei’s eyes..
