Chapter 1 Rebirth
Chen Xuan and Yi Yunxiao exchanged everything and walked out of Chonggong Hall.
"Big Brother Da, you go back and cultivate for five days first, then I'll come find you."
"Alright, let's part ways here, Chen Xuan you'd better be careful with these elixirs, there must be someone plotting against you now." said Yun Sheng.
"Know this, just in time for me to establish my dominance. Whoever dares to come now will become the perfect target for me to assert my authority."
Chen Xuan parted ways with Yi Yunsheng, opening the map and heading towards his own cave mansion. To stand firm in the sect, he had to establish his own prestige. In the face of strong power, systems were just a decoration, a constraint on the weak and a protective umbrella.
Its own cave is on the right peak of Lian Mountain, halfway up the mountain waist, fewer and fewer people walk, the place where the inner door disciples live is very large, almost one person per cave, each cave is separated by several miles, Lian Mountain Peak is just a name of a mountain peak, in fact, there are six or seven peaks of various sizes together, the entire Misty Mountains are the territory of Dan Xuan Gate
"After participating in this big competition, I will go out and gain some experience for a period of time, and get in touch with the outside world more." Chen Xuan thought to himself.
"Come out from hiding, didn't expect there's still someone who doesn't know the situation." Chen Xuan stopped walking and stood still.
"Hey kid, you're quite clever, huh?"
Three young men emerged from in front of Chen Xuan, all wearing the cyan long shirts of Danxuan Gate, which was also a symbol of inner door disciples.
"We've been waiting for you here for a long time." said one of the young men.
"A few seniors, you're waiting for me here, isn't there something going on?" Chen Xuan asked, pretending to be confused.
"Hey kid, don't play dumb. We heard you've got a lot of yuan ling dan. My buddies and I are a bit short on cash right now, so we were wondering if we could borrow some from you." said one young man.
"You don't have the Yuanling Dan, you can go do tasks to exchange for it yourself, why come to my place to ask me to lend you dan medicine? Moreover, my dan medicine was also earned by myself through hard work and completing tasks." Chen Xuan is just pretending to be ignorant.
"Listen up, kid! We're asking you for the Yuán Líng Dān as a favor to your face. Don't be shameless and refuse. You have to lend it even if you don't want to." A young man said angrily.
Chen Xuan heard this and knew that pretending to be muddled wouldn't work. It seemed that if he didn't lend it to them, they would resort to force. Originally, he had planned to give them some face, but now it seemed that not taking their threats seriously would lead to many more people coming to ask him for the dan medicine in the future.
"Get out of my sight within one minute, or I'll make you roll down the hill!" Chen Xuan shouted angrily.
"You're too arrogant, let me teach you a lesson. Don't think that just because you've recently broken through to the Spiritual Warrior realm, you're impressive. We've all been in the middle of the Spiritual Warrior realm for years and can't even subdue you, who just advanced to the Spiritual Warrior realm. I'll make you hand over the elixir honestly." After finishing speaking, the young man charged towards Chen Xuan.
"Taste my Kung Fu!"
A huge fist with the power of opening a mountain came at Chen Xuan.
"You're overestimating your abilities, with this level of strength you still dare to come and interfere with my elixir?"
"Slap."
Fist suspended in mid-air, Chen Xuan's single hand firmly grasped the fist, and his spiritual power immediately controlled the opponent's body.
"You just said you wanted to teach me a lesson."
"Squeak... squeak..."
There is a cracking sound in the bones.
"As punishment for you, hand over your ring." Unexpectedly turned the tables on the robber.
The two of them looked at each other and saw that Lishi was subdued by his opponent with just one move. They immediately pulled out their weapons.
"Let go of Lishi quickly." The two men shouted.
"Crack."
His entire arm was crushed by Chen Xuan, and it would take at least a year or two to recover. Even after recovery, he wouldn't be able to return to his peak state. The sect's rules prohibited killing fellow disciples, but didn't say anything about sparring with each other. As long as they didn't kill each other, everything was fine. Chen Xuan knew the rules very well.
He threw the young man in his hand far away, and then pulled off the ring on his hand. His soul forcibly erased the other's soul imprint. The young man lying on the ground spat out a mouthful of blood. The soul mark was erased by someone, and his soul was also injured.
Erase the mark of youth, Chen Xuan's divine sense swept over the ring.
"You say I should speak well of you, but it's clear that there are many Yuanshen Dans in your ring and yet you come to ask me for a loan. Alas, in this world, there will always be some people who don't know the times."
Chen Xuan's words made three people almost choke with rage and nearly spit out blood.
"Little kid, return Lishi's ring to him and we'll pretend nothing happened today."
The remaining people also discovered that Chen Xuan's strength was not so simple, and Lishi, the strongest among the three, couldn't even last one move, so the two of them spoke up.
"Return it to you? What for? I'm also short of some Yuanling Dan, so lend me yours." Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"We two can't even handle one of him?" said the remaining young man.
Both of them drew out their weapons to attack Chen Xuan, one wielding a long sword and the other using a pair of dual hooks, Pursuing Life Sword and Snatching Soul Hook. As soon as they made their move, it was already their strongest killing technique.
"Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh..."
Chen Xuan dodged the attacks of the two men, let you taste my Red Flame Fist.
"Scarlet flames fill the sky, scarlet dragon flames, scarlet flames for a thousand miles."
Chen Xuan made three consecutive moves.
"Bang bang bang."
Three punches landed on the chests of the two men, and two mouths spewed out fresh blood mixed with internal organs and fragments into mid-air. The chests were both caved in by Chen Xuan's fists, their entire ribcage shattered. The two men lay on the ground, vomiting large mouthfuls of blood.
The two people hiding in the distance and looking over here shrunk their necks, "Fortunately, I didn't become the leader, otherwise it would be me lying on the ground. Di Shixiong, look at how far Chen Xuan has fallen." The young man said.
"He's extremely powerful, and even if we join forces, we can at most fight him to a draw. If he still has hidden strength, then even together, we're no match for him. Even if we win, it would be a narrow victory. His spiritual power has already exceeded the realm of Spiritual Warrior, and is comparable to the early stages of True Martial Realm. I don't know how this kid cultivated his powers, or how his body can withstand so much spiritual energy - an ordinary Spiritual Warrior's body would have exploded from the pressure. Let's go, Master Wan. These three are simply asking for trouble, and didn't even think about how he dared to be so arrogant in the Transmission Hall, exchanging dan medicine. He must have some power to protect himself, and this is him showing off his authority, killing one to warn a hundred. From now on, no one will dare to provoke him again."
Di Shixiong said; after finishing speaking, the two quickly disappeared.
Chen Xuan looked in the direction where the two had disappeared and sneered twice.
"Actually runs pretty fast."
Took away the three people's rings, and threw them all to the foot of the mountain. Chen Xuan walked back to his own cave again. After this incident, no one will come to snatch my elixir again, right? First, they need to weigh their own strength.
The wealth of the three was also extremely rich, but compared to Chen Xuan's current wealth, it was definitely less pitiful. However, there were still a considerable number of elixirs and spiritual pills. The total value of their combined spiritual pills was around 20,000, and they also had a large quantity of equipment materials. This time, Chen Xuan hadn't expected that he would be able to counter-rob them instead. He couldn't help but hope that in the future, more people would voluntarily offer him their goods, so he wouldn't have to worry about elixirs anymore. When did I become so evil? Chen Xuan thought to himself.
Pushing open the stone gate of the cave, the inside area is quite large, with three rooms. One room is for resting, one room is for meditation and cultivation, and the spiritual energy in this room is several times thicker than the other two rooms. Maybe this room has received the spiritual pulse of Dan Xuan Gate.
There is also a room for refining spiritual instruments and elixirs, with a large cauldron placed inside for the purpose of alchemy. Chen Xuan currently has no interest in alchemy.
Take a day off, and tomorrow I'll start refining my own spiritual instrument. Since reaching the Spiritual Martial Realm, Chen Xuan has rarely used the Slashing Horse Knife again. It's not that he doesn't use it, but rather his spiritual power is too majestic. Once his spiritual power is released externally, any ordinary weapon will immediately shatter. However, he still doesn't have a suitable weapon for himself, as ordinary weapons can't withstand his spiritual power.
However, the Seven Kill Blade is one's ultimate strength. Now, those encountered are not very strong and can be defeated with the Red Flame Fist. But to participate in the sect's inner disciple competition, there will definitely be powerful disciples inside who usually cultivate and do tasks, and this time they should all come out, including Liu Hang from Lianyun Mountain Peak.
A month ago, he was able to kill the Earth Demon with True Martial Realm strength, and now he is cultivating in the Xuan Huang Tower. His current strength should be even more formidable than a month ago. It seems that I also need to quickly improve myself, otherwise it will be difficult for me to go far in the Grand Competition. Perhaps I can become the first person in the Spiritual Martial Realm, but there are still some Half-Step True Martial cultivators whose spiritual energy has begun to transform into Yuan Energy, and they are my true opponents. Liu Hang should be one of these people, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to kill the Earth Demon with True Martial Realm strength.
"Chen Xuan, this sword you are currently refining, do you plan on making it your own life-bound magical treasure?"
Lai Lao also knew that Chen Xuan was going to refine his first spiritual artifact.
"I haven't thought it through yet, but the Benming Fahuo can be said to be one's second life. Even if one's physical body falls, their yuanqi will find a way to seize another physical body and revive oneself."
Lingqi cannot be automatically miniaturized, Yuanqi can be enlarged or reduced at will. Only when it reaches the Yuanqi can it become its own Benming Fa Bao, received in its own Dantian, nourished by the original force, and the longer the nourishment time, the greater the power of the Yuanqi. This knowledge was already clear to Chen Xuan.
If you want to refine it into your own life-bound artifact, then you need to imprint your soul from your own soul and split a piece out of it into the spiritual instrument, as the instrument spirit of the spiritual instrument. In this way, after your own strength becomes stronger, the power of the life-bound artifact will also become greater, rather than an ordinary spiritual instrument that can be used to capture magical beasts as the instrument spirit.
Generally, once one reaches the True Martial Realm's strength, each person will refine a personal life-bound artifact. When paired with their own artifact in battle, that is the true strength of two people.
