Chapter 1 Rebirth

  Two voices came from the teahouse next to Huichuntang.

  "Xiao Hei, look, isn't that Chen Xuan from the Chen family coming back?"

  A young man said to the dark-haired youth beside him.

  "It was he who killed our young master, the clan leader issued a wanted order, whoever can kill Chen Xuan will be rewarded with a yellow-grade intermediate gong method and ten Return to Yuan Dan."

  "Wu Qi, you immediately go back and report to the family, gather high hands we will ambush him in the small alley, the yellow grade merit law we brothers will divide equally, I'll keep an eye on him here."

  The dark-haired youth hastily said.

  The old man counted all his inner elixirs: four of the eighth rank, twenty of the seventh rank, fifty of the sixth rank, and...

  All the elixirs added up to over 500, and in these two months Chen Xuan himself had killed over 300 demonic beasts, with some being robbed from San.

  The old man divided the herbs again, one by one, two by two and three by three, all separated. At a glance, it was more professional than Chen Xuan's, who put all the medicinal materials together without distinction.

  As soon as Chen Xuan entered the Hui Chun Hall, he found someone staring at him. Within a hundred meters, everything was within his spiritual perception. At a glance, they were all some minor characters, with dark hair and youthful faces, only fourth-grade cultivators. Such strength was no different from an ant in Chen Xuan's eyes, so he didn't bother to make a move, waiting to clean up on the way out.

  The old man calculated on his abacus, with a rattling sound, and it took him the time to drink a cup of tea before he finished calculating all the prices.

  "This young master, the inner elixir of the demon beast, plus the herbs, totals 507,000. At first, I told you that if you sell the inner elixir to our Hui Chun Tang, we will give you the best price. I'll give you 510,000 taels, how about it?" The old man said to Chen Xuan after finishing counting.

  Five hundred thousand taels in Hongling Town was already a considerable amount, and Chen Xuan didn't bother to count them carefully. Gold and silver weren't that important to cultivators; as long as you had the ability, wealth would come rolling in without you having to work for it.

  "The old man will do as you said."

  "Wait a moment, young master, 500,000 taels is no small sum, I'll go to the inner chamber to prepare the silver notes for you."

  "Go ahead, sir."

  Upon entering the inner hall, the decor was completely different from the outside. Inside was a large courtyard, where an elderly person entered the main hall. In the main hall were several young men and women chatting, three males and one female. The males looked elegant and refined, while the female was as beautiful as a flower. They all appeared to be around twenty years old, laughing and conversing in the main hall.

  "Qing Mei, I didn't expect that our Dan Xuan Gate would have a branch even in such a poor place."

  The young man spoke in an obviously flattering tone.

  "That's right!"

  At this time, another young man also spoke up.

  "Qing Shi Mei, why did you think of coming to this poor place for training?"

  Three young men were all talking around this girl.

  At this time, an old man from the front desk walked in.

  "I've met a few young masters and misses, the one at the front desk sold internal elixir medicine for over 500,000 taels. I went to the back hall to get him a silver note, if there's anything else just tell me."

  The old man spoke in a low voice, afraid of saying something wrong and offending the young masters and misses before him.

  "In such a backward place, they can actually sell silver tickets worth 500,000 taels. It's indeed a big deal. Who is it that comes to buy internal elixirs?"

  The girl's voice is as clear and crisp as a yellow oriole, very pleasant to hear.

  He was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.

  "Boy?"

  The woman originally thought it was at least middle-aged, frowned and continued to say.

  "Go get your silver, you're not needed here to entertain."

  The old man went down.

  "Why would people from a wealthy sect come to such a poor place?"

  The old man muttered a sentence.

  When several people took out the sect's token, the old man finally believed that they were indeed disciples of the sect. Having arrived in Hongling Town for two days, the old man had been carefully serving them, deeply afraid of offending the young masters and misses.

  The old man went out, and these few people started talking again.

  "The sect leader has us scouring everywhere for talented young people to recruit into the sect, Qing Shi Mei, do you think such a poor place can produce talent?"

  ……

  Chen Xuan waited for a cup of tea's time before the old man came out, holding fifty-one million silver notes, all one thousand two per sheet, fifty-one sheets.

  "Sir, please hold on."

  Taking over the silver ticket, Chen Xuan didn't count it clearly and put it directly into his pocket. Adding to the silver tickets he had robbed, Chen Xuan now had 600,000 silver tickets on him.

  "Is there an elixir that can quickly increase one's strength?"

  "Our store's best products are the Dan medicine Pei Yuan Dan, 500 taels for one pill, one pill can replace ten days of martial arts training. Does the young master need it?"

  "It's no use, the two precious medicines are of no use to Chen Xuan now."

  After finishing speaking, Chen Xuan walked out of Hui Chun Tang.

  Out of the Hui Chun Tang, Chen Xuan went to his family's weapon shop. Last time he bought a weapon and ran into trouble with the Wu family. This time if there is more trouble, I don't mind killing a few more of them. Last time Grandfather told me that the family business had been disrupted by the Li and Wu families, resulting in a 20% decrease in income. Chen Xuan has remembered this all along. Now that his strength has increased to the Lingwu boundary, he also has confidence in being able to keep him here.

  Walking through the streets to the family's arms shop, Chen Xuan walked in. A girl in her twenties saw Chen Xuan walk in and hurriedly came forward to greet him.

  "Master, you've finally returned! The old master has been sending people out to look for you every day during this period."

  "Thank you, Yu Jie, I want to buy a sword, and then head back home."

  Although the weapon shop belongs to the Chen family, the young masters of the Chen family still have to spend their own money if they want to buy weapons. Only in this way can they avoid laziness and understand that what is given by the family is never as good as what one creates with one's own hands.

  "What kind of weapon does the young master want to buy?" the little girl asked.

  "Let me take a look first."

  After practicing the Seven Killings Blade, Chen Xuan decided to continue learning swordsmanship; after all, his understanding of sword techniques had already reached a certain level of depth, and switching to another weapon would require him to start familiarizing himself with it again.

  Arriving at the knife rack, there are thin "goose feather knives" and thick "nine-foot large ring knives", but there are dozens of styles of knives.

  Chen Xuan held each one in his hand, weighing it carefully, either too light or too heavy.

  Chen Xuanxue's Seven Killings Knife emphasizes "speed", "accuracy" and "deadliness". A knife that is too light cannot generate enough force, while one that is too heavy cannot bring out the full power of the Seven Killings Knife.

  Chen Xuan finally chose one, weighing twenty catties and four feet long, a medium-sized horse-killing knife, slightly wider than the military dagger in his previous life, with a bit of an assassin's taste, whether it was the weight or quality of the knife, both were much better than the first one.

  "I'll take this one."

  "Young master, you really have an eye for things. This sword was just brought back from the forge yesterday. The master craftsman who forged it said that this is his best work, and it has already reached the pinnacle of mortal weapons."

  "How much silver is this knife?"

  Chen Xuan put the knife on his back, although he had a Ling Jie, Chen Xuan did not want to let too many people know for the time being.

  "Three thousand two, this is the price set by Master Fu, saying that people who know their stuff will definitely pay this price."

  To be honest, three thousand two is indeed a bit expensive, seven or eight times more expensive than the knife at the beginning; but Chen Xuan doesn't care, he just sent another payment, and doesn't care about this little money. Besides, the quality of the knife is really good, it's exactly what Chen Xuan wants, so he took out three thousand two from his pocket and handed it over to the little girl.

  "Is the young master leaving for home now?" The little girl asked hastily after taking the silver note.

  "Well, I'm going back now."

  "Master, be more careful recently, I heard that people from Wu's family have been looking for you, it's better for you to hurry back home."

  "I understand, you're busy, thank you."

  Chen Xuan came from Earth and knew the principle of gratitude. If someone is good to you, you should be even better to others, if anyone dares to hit your attention.

  "Hehe!"

  Chen Xuan sneered twice and walked out of the weapon shop.
