126: The Lin family, renowned for their alchemy and swordsmanship!
The fat Mid-stage Qi Refining Cultivator was a bit dazed; it was his first time seeing such a ferocious Third Layer of Qi Refining Cultivator who actually dared to launch a counter-charge directly at a Mid-stage Qi Refining opponent like himself.
"You little brat, I'm going to smash you to pieces!"
The fat Cultivator revealed a cruel smile, hoisting his large iron hammer and smashing it toward Chen Chuanjie.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that he wasn't facing an ordinary Third Layer of Qi Refining Cultivator, but the Little Sword Immortal recognized by everyone—one who possessed a Golden Core Legacy and an Innate Sword Heart.
"Hundred Step Flying Sword!"
Seeing the fat Cultivator being lured by him, Chen Chuanjie slapped a wind control talisman onto himself, swiftly widening the distance between them. Meanwhile, his netherworld sword shot out at high speed, heading straight for the two Early Qi Refining Stage Cultivators!
The two Early Qi Refining Stage Cultivators sneered and dodged the incoming Flying Sword with a quick movement, but they never expected that Chen Chuanjie was already practicing the Sword Control Art.
The Flying Sword made a sharp turn at an incredible angle, slicing through one person's neck before piercing through the back of the other's heart.
With just one sword strike, Chen Chuanjie achieved a double kill.
"netherworld sword, return!"
Chen Chuanjie formed a hand seal, and the distant netherworld sword turned back and returned to his side.
"Sword Control Art? You've mastered the Sword Control Art while only at the Early Qi Refining Stage?"
The fat Cultivator looked at Chen Chuanjie with a face full of shock. The Sword Control Art was notoriously easy to learn but difficult to master. He hadn't expected this youth, who was only at the Early Qi Refining Stage, to be as proficient in manipulating a Flying Sword as a Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivator!
"Heh, there's still a lot you don't know!"
Chen Chuanjie sneered. He didn't give the fat man another chance to speak, grabbing the netherworld sword and charging at him with a sword seal in hand.
Chen Chuanjie knew this battle had to be resolved quickly because the Spirit Crystals on them had attracted the attention of many Cultivators. Staying too long might lead to more fights finding him!
Thus, Chen Chuanjie directly unleashed the most powerful sword move he had mastered!
"Sword Cleaves Mountains and Rivers!"
A blast of black Sword Qi shot out from Chen Chuanjie's blade, surging upward like a flood dragon, seemingly tearing through space as it strangled toward the fat Cultivator.
"This power is so strong, it's practically stronger than a Mid-stage Qi Refining Cultivator!"
A flash of panic crossed the fat Cultivator's eyes, but the speed of this Sword Qi was so fast that he had no room to dodge. He could only bite the bullet and face it head-on with his hammer.
"Boom!"
A massive bang rang out as the iron hammer in the fat man's hands was sliced clean in half by the Sword Qi. A crack appeared on his forehead, and blood began to seep out continuously.
"Mon... ster..."
The fat man looked at Chuanjie, who was holding the sword, murmured a sentence, then spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
Chen Chuanjie was already familiar with this move. Although using it now still consumed a large amount of Dharmic power, it no longer reached the point of total exhaustion.
He walked over to the three Cultivators, searched them for their belongings, and then returned to Chen Changsheng.
"Father, the spoils are all here!"
Looking at the decisively killing and violently sword-wielding Chen Chuanjie, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration:
"Who on earth gave you the name Little Sword Immortal? I think Sword Demon would be more appropriate for you!"
Hearing this, Chen Chuanjie laughed out loud, then led the horse to Chen Changsheng and said with a smile:
"Who cares what they call me? It's all empty fame that can't scare anyone. In the end, it still comes down to the sword in my hand to solve things!"
Chen Changsheng flipped onto the horse, took the spoils from Chen Chuanjie, and said as they headed toward Jade Dragon Peak:
"You still need to pay attention to your reputation. In the future, I'm still counting on you to make our Chen family's name known!"
Chuanjie also mounted his horse and followed behind Chen Changsheng, saying with a chuckle:
"Does our family's reputation even need me to make it known? Just your title as an Alchemist is enough. In the future, everyone will have to call us the Alchemy Chen Family!"
"Haha, I hope one day people will refer to our Chen family as 'Unrivaled in Pills and Swords'!"
Chen Changsheng laughed heartily and galloped his horse toward Jade Dragon Peak.
An hour passed, and Chen Changsheng and Chuanjie arrived at Jade Dragon Peak together!
Inside Jade Dragon Peak, several members of the Chen family were cultivating in the Spiritual Land. Chen Changsheng didn't disturb them; after sending Chuanjie off to Cultivate, he went straight to the Pill Refining Room.
It couldn't be helped; he owed far too many Medicinal Pills!
Chen Changsheng took out the Materials and began Alchemy. With his previous successful experience, his success rate was quite good, failing only about once every three times!
He refined for three days straight until all his Alchemy Materials were used up before leaving the Pill Refining Room.
Chen Changsheng used jade bottles to pack the qi refining pills. This time, he had refined a total of one hundred and fifty pills, nearly dropping dead from exhaustion in the Pill Refining Room.
"Father, you're out!"
Chen Chuanjie had been waiting nearby for a long time, and soon all of Chen Changsheng's sons had gathered.
"Can one Medicinal Pill like this really sell for two thousand Spirit Crystals?"
Chen Chuanwu held a bottle of pills and asked with a look of disbelief.
"Of course. Would Chuanjie lie to you, Big Brother? Our Chen family has struck it rich!"
Chuanwen looked at the pills in Chen Changsheng's arms with a smile, as if he were looking at piles of Spirit Crystals. Recently, he had been in charge of the family's finances and felt that the Spirit Crystals were almost gone. He hadn't expected his father to be so capable, earning so many Spirit Crystals all at once.
"Don't think Alchemy is simple. It's because your father's skill is extraordinary and his success rate is high. If it were anyone else, they'd probably lose everything!"
Chen Changsheng said with a smile. He was quite proud to be able to show off in front of his group of Genius sons.
"Yes, who is our father? He's an unparalleled Alchemy Genius! Father, why did you stop?"
Hearing Chen Changsheng's self-praise, Chen Chuanjie couldn't help but flatter him.
"Refine my ass, the Materials are all used up. Go with Chuanjie to the Prefecture City to buy more Materials. I'm going to rest for a while!"
Chen Changsheng replied irritably. Hearing about buying Materials, Chen Chuanjie's face turned grim.
"Father, you need so many Materials that we'll probably need a carriage to pull them. Isn't that just telling Bandit Cultivators that we have money and inviting them to rob us?"
Chen Changsheng frowned. This was indeed a problem. They had gone to the Prefecture City several times, and each time they exposed their wealth, it attracted the greed of evil Cultivators, which was quite troublesome.
"Sigh, can't you use your brains? Disguise the carriage by covering it with a layer of firewood and then a layer of cloth. Wouldn't that hide it from others?"
It was still Chen Chuanwen who was quick-witted and immediately thought of a solution. Hearing this, Chen Changsheng clapped his hands and said with a smile,
"Chuanwen is indeed the smart one. This is a good method. In a bit, Chuanwen, you go with Chuanjie to buy the Materials. You haven't been to the Prefecture City yet, so it's a good chance to look around!"
