One sword cheat

Chapter 37 Ancestral Graves Emerging with Green Smoke

"Xiao Ren, are you ready? We're about to leave."

A month later, right on time, Zhang Yunqing returned to Shangqing Peak and dragged Chen Ren, who was dozing off in the Sanqing Hall, out of bed.

"You're really slacking off."

A hint of helplessness flickered in Zhang Yunqing's eyes: "Cultivation is like rowing against the current; how come you're lying around in broad daylight?"

[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +50]

"Master, I've been working too hard lately. The Three Pure Ones are watching."

Chen Ren yawned as Li Sanmei delivered the first forbidden technique.

The name is excellent; it translates to "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique"!

Through the conflict and agitation of Qi and blood, one treats their own organs and limbs as bombs, and the explosive power is only greater than that.

He studied it for several days and had learned how to infuse high-pressure, volatile blood and energy, but he dared not continue using it, otherwise his hands and feet would explode.

The ability to draw the sword can eliminate side effects, making it an indispensable trump card.

With this trump card, plus the Frost-Cleansing Sword and the Golden Finger, he was 20% confident about this trip down the mountain.

"How is your cultivation level?"

Zhang Yunqing's gaze fell on Chen Ren: "While I was away, did you reach the seventh level?"

Sevenfold?

Upon hearing this, Chen Ren's lips curled slightly: "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Master."

"Oh?" Zhang Yunqing looked slightly surprised. Her little disciple's eyes didn't seem like those of someone who hadn't reached the seventh level.

"Master, please look!"

Chen Ren raised his hand and threw a punch, seemingly casually, but crackling sounds rang out one after another in the air!

Its qi and blood were like waves, one wave after another, pushing up a full eight layers of waves!

Eight levels of qi and blood!

How long have they been in the Ancient Realm? Even Zhang Yunqing was somewhat surprised.

[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +100]

"How did you reach the eighth level of Qi and Blood?"

She looked Chen Ren up and down: "Even with the constant allocation of resources and the special nature of your flawless body, your cultivation speed shouldn't be this fast."

Chen Ren was delighted; this was exactly the expression he wanted on Zhang Yunqing's face.

He said smugly, "Maybe I was just lucky. Since you weren't here, I spent my days looking for insects on the mountain, in the cracks of rocks and in tree holes."

"This ancient realm is full of treasures, and I'm quite lucky; I only went to the medicine hall near Baiyun Peak once."

"There's no other way. I don't have any resources, so I can only use this clumsy method to increase my qi and blood."

Looking for bugs?

It is normal for ancient creatures to possess abundant spiritual energy and vital energy.

There has never been anyone practicing martial arts on Shangqing Peak, so it makes sense that there are more small animals and insects there.

Actually, this reason still had many flaws, but Zhang Yunqing stared into Chen Ren's eyes for a while.

Chen Ren turned around and looked at his master. In addition to his pure gaze, there was also resentment towards his master. Well... he had a lot of resentment.

Zhang Yunqing then contributed another 100 sword-drawing points, and dared not look him in the eye.

She felt guilty.

"You have a secret, but I'm not curious. Pack your clothes and things like that. We'll set off early in the morning and try to reach our destination before dark. We plan to be gone for three months."

She didn't say where she was going, only that she was going at a certain time. Chen Ren knew this was related to his cultivation.

Zhang Yunqing has a way to make it possible for her, who is only equivalent to a C-grade Water Qi Leak-Free Body, to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

This may not be related to aptitude, or it may be due to some kind of secret technique or treasure?

He had never heard of any way to change qualifications. All the information he consulted showed that qualifications were fixed and there was no way to change them.

Unlike his refusal of Old Man Wu, Chen Ren immediately packed his luggage, including a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, three sets of clothes, a raincoat, an umbrella, and so on, and carried a large bag.

He happily followed Zhang Yunqing and set off together.

However, this time they did not fly directly, but chose to travel by car, keeping a low profile.

"Master, why don't we just fly?"

Chen Ren asked curiously, "You're keeping such a low profile, did you offend someone you can't afford to mess with?"

Zhang Yunqing glanced at Chen Ren but didn't say anything.

But she had 100 points of sword-drawing value.

"Where are we going?" Chen Ren silently praised himself for his cleverness. It was still easier to farm the sword-drawing points of a Foundation Establishment expert; a single tap yielded a large amount.

But this route seems a bit familiar.

"Yucheng," Zhang Yunqing said succinctly.

But those two words made Chen Ren's heart skip a beat. Holy crap, the completely wiped-out Xiao Qing Kingdom is in Yucheng, and it's very dangerous there now!

[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +80!]

Fortunately, Zhang Yunqing's voice remained calm, and she added, "I'll be passing through Yucheng and changing trains there."

"Oh my god, that scared me to death! Master, could you please not breathe so heavily next time?"

He breathed a sigh of relief and then volunteered to buy the tickets.

For no other reason than that he wanted to buy a ticket for someone he knew, so he deliberately waited for two extra trains!

That's right, it just so happens to be Tao San Niang's car.

He wasn't targeting anyone in particular, but rather Tao San Niang!

We agreed to cultivate together, so why is there no word from him now? Is it because he's poor?

Chen Ren was overjoyed, thinking that Tao San Niang would continue robbing and looting along the way, and then rob Zhang Yunqing.

He'll jump out again then and vent his anger.

They used to bully him because he was poor and weak, but now things are different; he has a powerful backer!

Ten million was spent!

But to his surprise, the journey went incredibly smoothly. Tao San Niang and her group seemed to become actual passengers, quietly buying tickets and boarding the train.

The robbers who had been there did not reappear.

Hmm... what's going on?

Chen Ren noticed something was wrong, got up and walked to Tao San Niang, staring at her.

Zhang Yunqing frowned slightly, glanced around, and seemed to notice something. The corners of her mouth curved into a barely perceptible smile.

Tao San Niang subconsciously looked away, glancing out the window as if there were some flowers rushing past.

[Ding: Sword drawing skill +15.]

However, her sword-drawing value betrayed her, and it kept increasing as Chen Ren stared at her.

[+17+19+21+31...]

Tao San Niang's fingertips were trembling, and she cried out in her heart, "Damn it, how did that woman appear!"

Wasn't it rumored that she was seriously injured and almost died? How come she's back!

And... that kid from Shangqing Palace whom I tricked before is here too. Is he... is he here to take revenge on me?

The immortals of Shangqing Palace are so petty!

"Look me in the eye!"

Chen Ren asked Tao San Niang directly, "Why didn't you rob anyone this time?"

[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +50!]

Tao San Niang pretended to only then realize she had been seen, and forced a smile as she turned around, saying, "Huh? What did you say? Have we met before?"

"Stop playing dumb! Why didn't you rob me this time?"

Chen Ren repeated it again, never imagining that Tao San Niang would know Zhang Yun Qing.

Or perhaps he hadn't realized how famous Zhang Yunqing was.

Tao San Niang shuddered: "What robbery? I'm just an ordinary cultivator, I just went to Yucheng to buy some things."

"Buy things? Shouldn't you have conspired with the driver to rob us on the way? Don't be an exception this time."

Chen Ren tried to persuade her earnestly, but Tao Yuniang wouldn't listen. She even recited the 24 True Scriptures of Yanxia with righteous indignation.

"Alright, Xiao Ren, it's not that she doesn't want to, it's that she's afraid."

Zhang Yunqing spoke up, calling Chen Ren back, and her gaze calmly fell on Tao Yuniang.

The latter tensed up, then knelt on the car without saying a word, loudly confessing, "I was wrong, I was wrong, senior!"

"I really didn't expect him to be locked up so close to you, but don't worry, I really didn't rob him, because he was very poor at the time... You can ask me if you don't believe me!"

Oh...we know each other...

Chen Ren lost interest; he had thought he could finally vent his anger.

He knew that Shangqing Palace valued civility, etiquette, and moral principles above all else, so Tao Yuniang would be fine as long as she didn't cause trouble.

But... why is she so afraid?

Zhang Yunqing didn't react much to her kneeling, nor should she have.

But she saw a hint of regret on Chen Ren's face, sighed inwardly, and said calmly:

"He is my apprentice."

It was a very calm sentence, but to Tao Yuniang, it was like a bolt from the blue!

Since that incident, when did this woman start taking on apprentices again?

A personal admission and a nominal acceptance of a disciple are completely different things; this young master…

Is the ancestral grave emitting auspicious smoke?
