Chapter 175: The Ruthless Way
Chapter 175: The Ruthless Way
Lu Chen was previously trapped in an underground cave in the Endless Forest. He used the underground magma to practice the Chaos Body Refining Technique and completed the first stage of body refining: refining the skin, refining the flesh, and refining the tendons;
The body refining realm also successfully broke through to the spiritual body realm, and the overall strength was greatly improved.
Coupled with the rich true energy, which far exceeds the spiritual awareness of ordinary people, Lu Chen's comprehensive strength can kill those in the Foundation Establishment Stage in seconds, and beat those in the early stage of Fusion. He is not afraid of those in the middle stage of Fusion, and can fight those in the late stage of Fusion. He will run away when he sees those in the Great Perfection of Fusion.
But now that Lu Chen has comprehended the "intention", and his cultivation has broken through to the great perfection of the foundation-building stage, his overall strength can basically kill an early fusion stage cultivator in seconds, beat a middle fusion stage cultivator, and completely defeat a late fusion stage cultivator. He can even fight against a great perfection stage cultivator without losing the upper hand.
Lu Chen was naturally very happy that his strength was improved again. After releasing Lu Su from the defensive formation, Lu Chen took out the flying boat and carried Lu Su to their temporary residence "Food as Immortality".
During this period, when Lu Chen asked Lu Su why he was kidnapped, Lu Su did not mention that he was arrested because he was curious about experiencing some special services.
Instead, he took out the prepared excuse. There was no other way! After all, the real experience was too embarrassing, and he still had to save some face.
Lu Chen didn't think too much when he heard it. He just thought that the security in Qianyang City was relatively poor. Besides, the people had been rescued, so there was no point in asking so many questions. He still had a lot of things to do.
Because he was worried that Chu Dingtian would discover him, Lu Chen planned to take Lu Zhishen and Lu Su away from Qianyang City, go back home to visit his parents, and then go to Wuchuan Prefecture to find Yinfeng Valley for body training.
On the top floor of the Feiyu Chamber of Commerce branch, in Yan Zixia's own room, after treatment, Yan Zixia has returned to normal.
As soon as she recovered she went back to her daily routine as if nothing had happened.
Because of the incident with Ximen Qinghong, Wang Xiumei, as Yan Zixia's bodyguard, felt very guilty. Fortunately, nothing went wrong, otherwise she would also be to blame.
Looking at Yan Zixia who was busy working, Wang Xiumei wanted to say something but hesitated several times, not knowing how to start.
"Aunt! Just say whatever you want to say! Don't you feel uncomfortable seeing you want to say it but holding back?" Yan Zixia asked after putting down the jade slip in her hand.
"Oh... Zixia! I'm so sorry. Because of my negligence, you were in danger. You almost..." Wang Xiumei apologized self-blamingly.
"Hehehe...Aunt! I'm fine, aren't I? You don't have to blame yourself too much." Yan Zixia comforted with a smile.
Wang Xiumei felt a little better after hearing this.
"Haha...as long as you are not angry with your aunt, I never thought Ximen Qinghong would be such a person. I was really blind at the beginning, always helping him to say good things to bring you two together. Fortunately, you have foresight, otherwise you will suffer in the future.
But now there are only three days left for the competition between the two chambers of commerce, and Ximen Qinghong is so abominable, so what should we do about the selection of contestants?"
Wang Xiumei expressed her concerns.
"Hehehe... Auntie, don't worry! I have my own arrangements for the contestants, and after multiple verifications, that person's alchemy attainments are not inferior to Ximen Qinghong."
Yan Zixia smiled, as if everything was under her control.
"You are not talking about Lu Chen, are you? But have you ever thought about what if Lu Chen himself is unwilling to represent our Feiyu Chamber of Commerce in the competition?" Wang Xiumei raised the doubts in her heart.
Ever since Yan Zixia first issued the order to mobilize the entire southern Xinjiang intelligence system to keep an eye on Lu Chen, Wang Xiumei has been responsible for compiling all information about Lu Chen.
At first, Wang Xiumei didn't understand Yan Zixia's behavior and thought she was making a fuss out of nothing. But as more news about Lu Chen came in, she became more and more curious about this cultivator named Lu Chen.
Especially in the aspect of alchemy, every time he was not seen buying spiritual herbs, he could sell large quantities of high-quality elixirs from time to time, and after their confirmation from many parties, Lu Chen's attainments in alchemy were indeed very high.
If he could be invited to compete, there would also be hope of winning, but according to information analysis, Lu Chen is a relatively low-key and cautious cultivator, who generally does not like to be in the limelight.
Yan Zixia was also stunned when she heard Wang Xiumei's question, because she really hadn't thought about this question.
As the actual operator of the first chamber of commerce in Beichenzhou, she has always been surrounded by people, and she has a preconceived notion that no one will refuse her invitation.
Wang Xiumei almost watched Yan Zixia grow up and knew her character very well. At this moment, one look at her expression and she knew that Yan Zixia had never considered these worldly ways.
"Hehehe... Auntie, you are right. If I go to him rashly, there is a possibility that he will refuse. But if..." Yan Zixia's beautiful eyes turned and she spoke her thoughts with a confident smile.
"Hehehe... In that case, I think it's okay." After listening to Yan Zixia's ideas, Wang Xiumei also felt that it was very feasible.
Then the two of them started discussing other news about Lu Chen.
Zhang Haoyang was very depressed because he was caught by his father-in-law Wang Haocang when he tried to force his fiancée Wang Jingxuan to have sex with him after drinking.
This matter soon reached his father Zhang Bingtian. Zhang Bingtian just said a few words in light of it and warned him to focus on major issues, and the matter was left unresolved.
When Zhang Haoyang came to Wang Jingxuan again to apologize to her, he found that it was his father-in-law Wang Haocang who opened the door, but not Wang Jingxuan.
Seeing that his father-in-law Wang Haocang's face looked a little strange, he was about to ask where Wang Jingxuan had gone, Wang Haocang embarrassedly handed Zhang Haoyang an information jade slip.
After reading the information on the jade slip, Zhang Haoyang's face instantly turned gloomy, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He said goodbye politely and left, heading for Piaoxiang Tower.
"Piaoxianglou" is known as: "a paradise for men and a gold shop for women."
All the enjoyment and happiness that men cannot experience at home can be achieved here.
Women who want to earn spirit stones in a simple and quick way can also come here, where they can basically just lie down and count the spirit stones.
In a large private room of "Piaoxianglou", Zhang Haoyang spent three hundred mid-grade spirit stones and ordered two young and beautiful female cultivators. After drinking a pot of spirit wine, he directly engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the two beautiful female cultivators, without caring about anything else and just firing two shots first.
The reason why Zhang Haoyang's temperament changed so drastically was because the information jade slip that Wang Haocang showed him was actually a letter left by Wang Jingxuan when she left without saying goodbye.
The general meaning of the letter is that Wang Jingxuan suddenly realized the true meaning of the way of ruthlessness and wanted to cut off all worldly emotional ties and practice the way of ruthlessness from then on.
I hope Zhang Haoyang and his father will understand that I will never come back...
