Chapter 68 The Sea of Bitterness, Martial Arts Innate!
Xiaoqing Kingdom is naturally within the territory of Yucheng, and Qu Yuntian is very happy for them to go there.
"There are our own land deities over there, making it even safer than Yu City."
The three of them took his advice to heart. The disciples of Shangqing Palace had made money here before, so they were now very familiar with the place.
"There's a barbecue place here that's really delicious. I've compared several places around here, and their ingredients are the best. It's a conscientious owner who's willing to spend money."
Ren Renren had originally planned to treat them to a meal, and now that he finally had the chance, he took Chen Ren and Wang Chengxian to eat at that barbecue restaurant.
It was already afternoon when we arrived at Xiaoqingguo. We strolled around the streets outside, and in the evening, the three of us sat around a small table waiting for barbecue.
"I never imagined we'd go through so much."
Before the barbecue even arrived, Wang Chengxian ordered two cases of beer, drinking and reminiscing as he went.
"Yes, who would have thought that I was still studying before, and I would actually be able to cultivate immortality? Actually, I was already prepared to go to a teacher's college to teach."
Ren Renren also took a sip of beer and stared at Chen Ren: "Junior Brother, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we would have all died outside Yucheng yesterday."
"It's nothing, it's all in the past now."
Chen Ren chuckled and said, "You have no idea, I really got my revenge."
He didn't drink alcohol; he wanted to eat barbecue first.
Since there is plenty of spiritual energy, wouldn't that increase one's blood and qi significantly?
The barbecue arrived quickly and tasted really good. Before they knew it, the three of them had drunk quite a bit. The wine brewed in this ancient world was very intoxicating. Ren Renren's cheeks turned red and his eyes became glazed. He kept apologizing to Chen Ren.
"I'm so useless!"
Tears streamed down her face: "As the senior sister, I actually need my junior brother to protect me."
"It's not your fault, after all, I have more resources."
Chen Ren tried to comfort her in a low voice, but Ren Renren didn't listen.
At the dinner table, she swore, "From now on, I will protect all of you. Once I reach the Foundation Establishment stage, I'll take care of all your cultivation resources!"
"Tsk tsk, what a load of bull."
Wang Chengxian picked up his wine glass, and the three of them raised their glasses together and drank.
"With our aptitude, we'll never reach the Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime. Let's not talk about this anymore. We should think about what our dreams are for the future."
"Does this mean I have to spend my whole life cultivating in the mountains?"
His gaze fell on Chen Ren and Ren Renren's faces, and he smiled wickedly: "However, I find that you two are quite a good match. Why don't you become Daoist partners?"
He recalled the Luo Qidan and letter that Chen Ren had given him before, and it seemed that neither side had yet broken through that barrier.
Today is a good opportunity. Having experienced life and death, he realized that life is about enjoying it while you can, otherwise you will definitely regret it when you die.
"Thump!"
Chen Ren was slumped over the table, already drunk and passed out.
"That's all the alcohol he can drink."
Wang Chengxian sneered: "Little brother."
He then looked at Ren Renren: "Senior Sister, do you like Junior Brother? This is a great opportunity!"
"It's my treat. How about I get you two a double room?"
"Junior Brother Renxian, don't talk nonsense."
Ren Renren, whether drunk or blushing, shook her head and smiled, "Junior Brother is so handsome, there must be many people who like him. Did you see Hu Yuxian last time? They are a perfect match."
She hid the disappointment in her eyes and laughed it off, saying, "I've always treated Xiao Ren like a younger brother."
Wang Chengxian was the one who got drunk. Didn't he realize that his junior brother, with his ninth level of Qi and Blood, couldn't possibly get drunk before them?
Why did I happen to get drunk when this topic came up?
She is kind, sensitive, and has a delicate mind. This refusal is to save face for her. If she were to persist, it would only make everyone unhappy.
[Ding: Sword drawing skill +90.]
How could I not feel regret?
Perhaps the atmosphere wasn't quite right, so Wang Chengxian carried Chen Ren on his back, and the three of them ended up staying nearby together.
Chen Renzhen slept for a whole night, preparing for his cultivation the next day.
Before dawn the next day, he finished washing up and went to the Qingcheng Martial Arts School.
The master who passed on the Bitter Sea Technique was a retainer of a martial arts school under the Qingcheng Mountain Academy, so he was considered one of their own.
Chen Ren thought he was early enough, but when he arrived, the martial arts school had already been open for two hours.
Even before getting close, you can feel the soaring energy and various shouts and yells within the martial arts hall.
As soon as he entered, he saw a group of martial arts practitioners standing in stances in the front yard.
They were all shirtless, their muscles gleaming with a sharp, metallic sheen.
Upon entering the hall, they saw many people with even larger muscles practicing meditation.
Huge muscles! Those who practice martial arts are truly massive!
"Hello, I've come to cultivate the Bitter Sea Technique."
Chen Ren approached the receptionist, and when he uttered those words, the receptionist was visibly startled.
Whose young master is this? The Bitter Sea Technique isn't cheap.
"plz follow me."
The receptionist, walking with light steps, stood in stark contrast to the surrounding brutes, leading Chen Ren to the backyard.
Here, he finally met the person in question.
There was only one person in the backyard, quietly drinking tea. His long hair was cascading down, and he had a slender figure, making him fundamentally different from other martial artists.
"You must be Chen Ren."
The other person picked up the teapot and poured him a cup as well. Chen Ren didn't want to drink it, but he sensed a spiritual energy emanating from it.
He immediately picked up the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, chewed the tea leaves, and praised it:
"Excellent tea!"
"Hehe, a man of strong character, that's how a martial arts cultivator should be."
He introduced himself: "My name is Fengjinghu."
It's a very nice name. If someone were to cultivate immortality instead of martial arts, it would probably be even more fitting.
As Chen Ren was thinking this, he saw the other party take out a card reader.
"Would you like to pay by card?"
"No, I'll transfer the money to you right now."
There are no restrictions on transfers in the ancient world; 9000 million was transferred out in an instant. Even after he tried to cut the amount, 900 million was still transferred out!
He was most familiar with cutting off zeros. He gripped his sword, and a world of numbers, 0 and 1, appeared before his eyes. He would then slash at the middle and cut off a zero.
Chen Ren felt his heart bleeding; his sword-drawing value increased by 99!
"good!"
Feng Jinghu glanced at the transfer, then his gaze swept over the identity tag on his waist.
"Are you from the Shangqing Palace? What is Zhang Yunqing to you?"
"It's my master." Chen Ren decisively found a source for his money: "Otherwise, how could I, a mere Qi and Blood Realm cultivator, afford the Bitter Sea Technique?"
"Yeah, that's true. I didn't expect her to come back."
Feng Jinghu looked on with nostalgia: "Then let's not waste any more words. Now watch closely as I teach you the Bitter Sea Technique."
He gently picked up the teapot and slowly poured tea into the cup in front of Chen Ren.
The tea poured down the spout and into the teacup, but gradually, Chen Ren felt he could no longer hear any sounds around him.
His world seemed to be occupied by this teacup. The tea kept flowing, and he saw an ocean.
Unbeknownst to them, they found themselves and Fengjinghu standing on a tea leaf in an ocean.
"Do you see it? This is the sea of suffering."
Feng Jinghu turned to Chen Ren and said, "When one enters the Foundation Establishment stage of the Immortal Path, one must seek one's own path and merge with the Dao."
"But the martial arts path is different when you reach the innate level. We can see the Dao, but we use the Dao to hone ourselves until we condense your own martial arts will."
He... he's actually a Primordial Being!
This was Chen Ren's first time seeing a Xiantian (innate) being, and the 9000 million made him feel immersed in the martial arts will of Fengjing Lake.
Everything around him was a manifestation of his martial arts.
"Here, I can activate your martial arts energy and blood, putting you into a 'pseudo-will' state. The Bitter Sea Technique can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words."
Feng Jinghu turned to look at Chen Ren, preparing to guide him, but suddenly, his pupils contracted.
The blood and qi in this kid's body actually began to condense into the rudimentary form of his own martial will because of his own influence.
How is that possible? Even a normal person entering a pseudo-will state wouldn't be able to condense their own martial arts will.
Because they haven't reached that level, they don't even have that concept, and their physical strength doesn't allow it.
But... Chen Ren's body was surging with energy, and with his help, patterns actually appeared in the pseudo-will state.
