Chapter 1 Rebirth
Out of the family gate, Chen Xuan came to Hongling Town in the south, walking on the wide streets, with various wine houses and tea houses standing on both sides of the street. Many of them were properties of the Chen family, but many were also homes of other two big families.
After passing through several streets, Chen Xuan saw a large pharmacy appear in his line of sight, Hui Chun Tang, three big characters that were very eye-catching.
As soon as Chen Xuan stepped into the Hui Chun Hall, he caught a whiff of faint medicinal fragrance wafting towards him, and his spirit was immediately shaken.
Chen Xuan roughly scanned the area, there were six or seven counters, some selling dan medicine, others selling medicinal materials, and one counter that read "Specializing in collecting demon beast cores". Inside the store, there were also many warriors buying and selling dan medicine.
Chen Xuan came to the counter selling dan medicine, and was received by a man in his fifties.
"What would you like to buy, young master?" asked the old man;
"I want to buy some medicine for treating injuries and stopping bleeding," said Chen Xuan.
"For treating external injuries, we have Shengji San, for stopping bleeding, there's Zhi Xue Dan, how much do you want?"
"Let's make it two portions, one portion of Shengji San is 50 taels, two portions are 100 taels. One portion of Zhi Xue Dan is 80 taels, two portions are 160 taels. In total, it's 260 taels." The old man said; then he took out four porcelain bottles from the counter, and the medicine was packed inside.
Chen Xuan handed over the silver coins and put the dan medicine into his bosom.
"Old man, are you still collecting Core of Monstrosity here?" Chen Xuan asked.
"Many young family members and some scattered cultivators go out to practice or make extra money, selling the demon beast cores they kill to us. The demon beast core is a material for alchemy. The main material of the Return to Origin Pill is the core of a first-grade demon beast." The old man introduced Chen Xuan;
"How much silver does a first-class beast core cost?" Chen Xuan asked.
One hundred and twenty grams
Every time a magical beast is upgraded to a higher rank, its price also increases by several times.
"Young master, are you also going out for training?" said the old man;
"If you have a demon beast inner pellet, you can sell it to us and I'll give you the best price"
After all, Hongling Town is not just his family's pharmacy. There are also some family factions that collect the inner elixir of demons.
Not only does alchemy require the inner dan of magical beasts, but also adding the inner dan of magical beasts to the refining equipment can improve the quality and level of the equipment. The higher the level of the inner dan, the more powerful the refined equipment will be.
Chen Xuan also understood the level of the demon beast. Ordinary demon beasts from level 1 to 9 corresponded to acquired martial artists from first rank to ninth rank. Above the demon beasts were the yao beasts, and reaching the yao beast would unlock spiritual intelligence. The so-called yao beast was actually the spiritual martial realm of humans.
Line
Chen Xuan agreed without hesitation, after all, Huichuntang was above Danxuan Gate, and getting along with them would not harm himself.
Walking out of Hui Chun Tang, Chen Xuan headed towards his family's weapon shop to pick a suitable weapon for himself. As he walked through the streets, he saw that there were many people gathered ahead, chattering and talking about something.
Pushing through the crowd, Chen Xuan took a look and saw that two groups of people were confronting each other. On the ground, there was also a young man lying unconscious, wearing his family's clothes.
"Wu Mingyue, how dare you injure our Chen family's disciple at the entrance of our shop!" a young man from the Chen family shouted.
Chen Xuan took a glance at the speaking youth, who was also Chen Qian, his childhood playmate.
"What's wrong with you? Who made you inferior?" said the arrogant boy in front of him.
Chen Xuan walked over to a family and asked what had happened. The young man looked at him and saw that he was from his own family, so he said to Chen Xuan:
"We came from the family and saw them making trouble at the door of the weapons shop. Not a single guest dared to come in. Chen Wei went up to reason with them, but was beaten by Wu Tianming." He said, looking at Chen Wei lying on the ground.
Chen Xuan walked up to Chen Qian's side and asked, "Chen Wei is a fifth-rank official of the Imperial Court, how could he still be knocked unconscious?"
Chen Qian saw Chen Xuan coming over and explained, "The Wu Tianming opposite us is a postnatal sixth-rank cultivator. Chen Wei was only injured by Wu Tianming because he was caught off guard."
"Isn't this the Chen family's trash? How did it hide at home for half a year and come out now?" A young man from the Wu family opposite sneered.
Chen Xuan turned around and gave the young man a fierce look, "You guys must have planned this beforehand. Dare to cause trouble at the entrance of our Chen family's shop, are you tired of living?"
"Since you're all here, just stay for a while," Chen Xuan said calmly.
Chen Xuan had never made a move since reaching the fifth rank of Houtian, but Lao Li had told him that his current dantian storage was even denser than that of a sixth-rank Houtian cultivator, all thanks to the Soul Stone's help in improving his body and expanding his meridians.
"You're quite bold, thinking you can keep us here all by yourself," said Wu Tianming, facing him.
The young man opposite him burst out laughing.
"Is it funny?" Whoosh, a residual shadow was seen, and the boy who laughed the most was knocked flying by Chen Xuan, with a mouthful of bright red blood spraying into mid-air.
The smile on the young man's face opposite had not yet dissipated, shocked, the youth who was knocked flying, a fifth-grade cultivator, didn't even have time to react before being punched flying by Chen Xuan.
At this time, it was Chen Jia's turn to laugh loudly.
"Chen Xuan, you dare to lay hands on our Wu family!" Wu Tianming bellowed.
"It's okay for you to lay hands on us, but it's not okay for me to lay hands on you? What kind of logic is that?" Chen Xuan sneered.
Above, Wu Tianming shouted loudly, all the Wu family disciples took out their weapons and were about to rush up. The Chen family's disciples also took out their weapons, ready to fight to the death at any moment.
Just then, a loud shout was heard, "Everyone stop"
A man in his forties walked out of the crowd.
"Nice to meet you, Second Uncle," Wu Tianming bowed to the middle-aged man;
This is the second brother of the Wu family's master, the second uncle of Wu Tianming.
"You dare to lay hands on us Wu family, what's your name, young man?"
"Who are you again? Everyone present today can testify that it was your Wu family who made the first move." Chen Xuan's face showed no fear at all.
"It doesn't matter who I am, today I'll teach you kids a lesson on behalf of your parents," said the middle-aged man.
"What a big tone, the children of the Chen family don't need others to discipline them"
"Dad"
Chen Xuan's father walked out of the crowd, he had actually arrived early and saw his own son also there so didn't come out, but since even the Wu family's elders were mobilized, he stood up to speak.
Chen Yumu gave Chen Xuan an appreciative glance.
"Wu Peng, how can a junior's fight involve you, a senior, and you still intervene? Don't you feel ashamed?" Chen Yumeng sneered.
"We're leaving!" Wu Peng shouted loudly. Since Chen Yumeng had intervened, today's matter could only be dropped. He led a group of disciples to leave with their tails between their legs.
Chen Yumu walked up to Chen Xuan, "Xuan'er you did very well, the fifth ranker couldn't even land a single move on you, although it was partly due to the surprise attack, but your father is very pleased"
"Everyone disperse, take the injured disciples back for treatment." Chen Yu Mu said to all the disciples.
