17: We've finally arrived!

The journey for the next three days was much calmer; apart from some wild beasts, there were no other incidents.

However, one thing made Chen Heng a bit uncomfortable.

That was, besides Chen Fugui and Xiao He, everyone else was even more afraid of him.

Especially Mu Wanqing, she didn't even dare to look at him.

Who would dare to provoke a fierce man who could slay a Cultivator with the body of a mere Martial Artist?

After three days and four nights, Chen Heng had accumulated four Optimization chances.

Moreover, he discovered something he hadn't noticed before.

That was, optimized things could still be optimized.

Now, the Optimization options behind his Indestructible Vajra Divine Art and White Tiger Geng Metal Saber were shimmering.

Out of curiosity, Chen Heng tapped the Optimization option behind Indestructible Vajra Divine Art.

"Indestructible Vajra Divine Art has been successfully optimized. Current Realm: Proficient → Minor Achievement."

"It directly elevates the Realm!"

Before Chen Heng's surprise could fade, a sharp pain erupted from within his body.

However, for the current Chen Heng, this level of pain was merely a trifle.

A few minutes later, Chen Heng re-examined his body.

The rough calluses from before had disappeared; even when fully activating Indestructible Vajra Divine Art, his skin remained as fair as before.

But its strength had more than doubled.

It was estimated that Martial Artists below the Hua Jin Realm wouldn't even be able to break Chen Heng's skin.

"Hiss~"

When Chen Heng saw his remaining Optimization chances, he couldn't help but gasp.

Optimizing Indestructible Vajra Divine Art to Minor Achievement had actually used three chances!?

"My heart aches so much..." Chen Heng clutched his chest with a pained expression.

"Forget it, I'll talk about it after entering the city..."

Looking at the single remaining Optimization chance, Chen Heng sighed.

After entering the city, the first thing he needed to do was find a suitable weapon for himself.

The Materials must be of superior quality, otherwise, what's the point if it breaks while using it?

Moreover, weapons made of superior Materials would yield better results after Optimization.

Next, he would optimize the Longevity Art to see what it could optimize into.

At the current speed, they would be able to enter the city in less than an hour.

Chen Heng simply closed his eyes and began to doze off.

Soon, the carriage stopped at the gates of Qiyang City.

"Where are you from?" A soldier walked up to the Chen Family's carriage and asked.

"Reporting to the military lord, this humble commoner is from Fulai County," Chen Fugui cupped his hands, habitually pulling out a small piece of silver and slipping it over.

The soldier said nothing, naturally accepting the silver shard.

"You're lucky. Two days ago, Fulai County was wiped out by a group of evil Daoists."

"Even the county magistrate didn't survive."

"Alright, enter the city." The soldier waved his hand, signaling that the Chen Family's carriage could proceed.

"It's a good thing we ran fast..." Chen Fugui patted his chest.

"Patriarch Chen, when you have time, please come and visit our Mu Family." Mu Wanqing stepped down from the Mu Family's carriage and respectfully bowed to Chen Fugui.

"Good, good, good. Once I'm settled, I'll go find Old Man Mu to catch up," Chen Fugui returned the bow with a cheerful smile.

Before Mu Wanqing could finish speaking, Liang Ben walked over.

"What, Old Liang, do you also want me to come play at your place?" Chen Fugui felt deeply that he had extensive connections.

"Go, go, go, I'm not looking for you." Liang Ben pushed Chen Fugui aside and cupped his hands towards Chen Heng.

"Brother Chen, although there's a significant age difference between us, I still want to call you brother."

"No, no, no, that would be out of order." Chen Heng waved his hands repeatedly; if he did that, he'd become his father's younger brother.

"Let's talk about us; your father and I are a different matter." Liang Ben shook his head.

"I don't mean anything else, I just want you to visit our Iron Tiger Escort Agency when you have time."

"Alright, I'll definitely go when I have time." Chen Heng nodded, not refusing.

As a newcomer, having more friends was a good thing.

"Our Mu Family also welcomes Young Master Chen to visit anytime." Mu Wanqing gave a slight curtsy, her watery eyes fixed on Chen Heng.

"Alright, I will definitely visit once I'm settled."

After Chen Fugui and Liang Ben exchanged pleasantries for a while, the people from the Iron Tiger Escort Agency and the Mu Family finally left.

"Let's go, I'll introduce you to someone." Chen Fugui took a deep breath, clearly having just prepared himself mentally.

Chen Heng said nothing, nodded, and then slipped into the carriage.

Chen Fugui personally drove the carriage along the main road.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a four-courtyard residence.

The plaque above the courtyard had a large character 'Jing' written on it.

"Dad, don't tell me you've got a wife here too?" Chen Heng had a rough idea from Chen Fugui's expression.

"Mm, not just one wife." Chen Fugui scratched his face somewhat awkwardly.

"Then how many?" Chen Heng was shocked; his old man was quite the player.

"No, no, no, only one woman, and one child." Chen Fugui, seeing Chen Heng had misunderstood, quickly explained.

"Well, your dad and she have a daughter, just six years old."

"Speak nicely when we go in later, don't scare them."

Chen Fugui glared at Chen Heng, then turned and knocked on the main door.

Soon, a Household Servant pushed the door open a crack.

"Who is it? Don't you know this is the Jing Family Manor? Stop knocking randomly!"

"Refugees go to the North District, there's work for you there."

The Household Servant, seeing a large Fat when he opened the door, spoke very impolitely.

"Wang Ermazi, don't you recognize your old man?" Chen Fugui had been in a foul mood all the way, and this immediately set him off.

He directly grabbed the Household Servant by the collar and lifted him out.

It was the first time Chen Heng realized his old man had such great strength.

"Who the hell are you..." Wang Ermazi was about to retaliate, but after seeing Chen Fugui's face clearly, he immediately deflated.

"Master, you're back..."

"This humble one was blind and didn't recognize you."

"Hehe."

"Hehe your grandpa!" Chen Fugui kicked Wang Ermazi in the rear.

"Hurry up and call Jing Fan and that girl Tianer out, I haven't seen them in over half a year."

"Well, Master, aren't you going to wash up first?" Wang Ermazi asked, looking at the dirty Chen Fugui.

"Also, Young Miss Tianer and Madam Jing have both gone out and haven't returned yet."

"Then what are you still standing there for?" Chen Fugui glared at Wang Ermazi, and then kicked him again.

"Hurry up and go boil hot water for your old master, and don't forget your Young Master's share."

"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Ermazi quickly ran off to boil water.

Half an hour later, a clean Chen Heng changed into a brand new black long gown.

"Here, son." Chen Fugui handed Chen Heng a cup of tea.

"This is your dad's treasured tea leaves; it was a good item offered to the royalty back then."

Chen Heng took it and took a small sip.

Hmm, he couldn't tell any difference.

"Where's Xiao He?" Putting down the teacup, Chen Heng asked.

"Reporting to Young Master, Sister Xiao He is still soaking in the bathhouse," a Maidservant stepped forward and said.
