I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 246 - 230 Dragon Vein Energy

Chapter 246: Chapter 230: Dragon Vein Energy!

Chapter 246 -230: Dragon Vein Energy!

It’s no wonder that Chen Yuan’s thoughts went in that direction; the object really resembled the descriptions from tales of wonders and marvels: it was transparent throughout, and shaped like a fist-sized prism.

What’s most important was that it was emitting fluctuations of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy.

Moreover, the assassin in black had said before that someone had offered the price of three Primordial Crystals for his life. All of this fit very well with his line of reasoning.

As for who would be willing to pay such a huge price to kill him, and who could produce three Primordial Crystals, Chen Yuan felt it must undeniably be a Reach Profound expert.

Among those who bore deep enmity towards Chen Yuan, Tang Qian was the most likely candidate.

Thinking up to this point, the killing intent in Chen Yuan’s eyes grew even fiercer. After he broke through to Reach Profound, the first person he would deal with was this man!

Carefully examining the Primordial Crystal in his hand, Chen Yuan’s face remained impassive, but his heart was elated. With this item, his pace of accumulating cultivation would be even faster.

He was already very close to the pinnacle of Heavenly Gang, and once he refined this Primordial Crystal, he would basically be there.

Although this item was not one of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it was indeed rare and precious. To lay down a grand formation in a Blessed Land Grotto Heaven where Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy was rich, and compress it into a physical form, was not something that could be done with ordinary methods.

Even a Reach Profound powerhouse would be greatly delighted to obtain this item, as it could speed up the accumulation of cultivation significantly. A single Primordial Crystal was worth at least ten thousand or more pieces of silver.

The price could not be said to be low.

If it were Chen Yuan during his time as a constable, he might have had to save for decades to afford one.

Tang Qian really does hate me to the bone.

However, right now I can’t consider him the most pressing issue. Only after getting the Dragon Qi from the Dragon Tiger Sect will it be time to truly settle the score.

By that step, Chen Yuan would really be able to walk sideways in Nanling Prefecture City.

After securing the Primordial Crystal, Chen Yuan dismissed the gold in Yan Qing’s hand and picked up the great bow that was as black as ink, with mysterious formations engraved on it.

Gold and silver were of little use to Chen Yuan now.

He could get thousands or tens of thousands of silver pieces in a short amount of time if he wanted, but he couldn’t get Primordial Crystals and such a bow capable of breaking through Gang Qi.

Drawing the bow, Chen Yuan released the bowstring, producing a deep booming sound.

“Hum…”

The heavy, reverberating sound made him nod in approval. He could not recognize the formation engraved on the bow, but just from the sound of drawing the string, he knew the item was extraordinary.

It was a weapon worthy of a Reach Profound Martial Artist; it was a pity that only three arrows remained, not enough for him to truly test their power.

Arrows that could break through Gang Qi were better saved for fighting enemies.

All in all, the gains from this encounter were enough to make up for the losses.

“Keep this safe, and from now on, it is yours to use,” he instructed.

Weighing it in his hands, Chen Yuan tossed the precious bow to Yue Shan, who, with his innate divine strength, could easily draw it. Combined with the characteristics of these arrows, it could be of help to him later.

As for himself, he had no current need for such a thing. One reason was that he had little experience with this kind of weapon, and it would take time to fully master, time better spent perfecting his saber technique.

Although Chen Yuan could not say he specialized in one discipline, he certainly could not use every type of weapon in the world.

About that would be enough…

“Understood, my lord,” Yue Shan said, a solemn tone in his voice. His inability to intervene in the earlier confrontation was a disgrace to him, which he needed to make up for. With this bow in his possession, even a Heavenly Gang Martial Artist caught off-guard could die at his hands.

“Clear this place up, burn Nie Qi Yun’s remains to ash and bury them. Hmm… remember to keep his waist token to report back,” Chen Yuan ordered.

The clash was over, and what followed was cleaning up the battleground.

And he needed to take this time to recover some strength and Gang Qi.

Yan Qing and the others obeyed, bowed, and withdrew, starting to clean up the few remaining corpses. They couldn’t help much during the fight, but they were still of some use.

Chen Yuan didn’t bother with the rest. Placing the Yan Ling Saber into the ground, he sat down cross-legged and began to practice the Supreme Mysterious Scripture Technique…

…

…

About half an hour later, Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes. His Dantian was somewhat replenished, having regained nearly half of his strength, and Yan Qing and the others had also tidied up the scene of the battle.

Nie Qi Yun was truly reduced to ashes, leaving behind only a Yan Ling Saber and a waist token to prove his identity. Seeing his own Yan Ling Saber, Chen Yuan also looked down at it.

Hmm…

Although it could still be used, the marks left on it could cause some loss to him. For now, he could make do with it, but if he had the opportunity later, he would definitely need to replace it with a better one.

Weapons were an extension of a Martial Artist’s power. The better the quality of the weapon, the greater the assistance it provided to Chen Yuan, something he had come to deeply understand.

Discarding these thoughts, Chen Yuan stood and walked towards Yan Qing and the others.

During his meditation and rest, they had already prepared food. It wasn’t too lavish, but it certainly wasn’t meager either, with meat, wine, and vegetables.

They still knew their place somewhat.

Knowing that even a wild chicken would make for a decent meal, Chen Yuan didn’t hesitate. As the fragrance wafted to his nose, he took a light sniff, and the enticing aroma immediately hooked him. He took the meat that had been served for him and started eating right away.

Nanling Prefecture City.

After dealing with all the matters, Chen Yuan hurried back to the city without stopping. One reason was to report back to Tao Qingyuan because the matter involved the death of a Heavenly Patrol Envoy, something no one dared to take lightly.

Moreover, there was a high possibility that the suspicion would fall on him. To avoid any unnecessary trouble, Chen Yuan knew he had to show the proper attitude.

Apart from that, his return was also for the Dragon Vein Energy inside the Dragon Tiger Sect.

From the information obtained through chance, it was very clear that the Dragon Qi Chen Yuan sought was hidden in the Lock Dragon Well within the Dragon Tiger Sect,

and it had to be collected using a Dragon Scale.

This… He would have to let someone investigate thoroughly just what this Lock Dragon Well was, and whether he would be able to sneak into it…

Also, why was there a connection between the Dragon Tiger Sect and the Dragon Vein?

Surely it couldn’t be simply because of the word ‘dragon’ in their name.

Therefore, even before he reached the Prefecture City, Chen Yuan had issued a task to Yue Shan and others to investigate the truth as quickly as possible to facilitate his next plan.

As for directly attacking to annihilate the sect, that was not the best choice.

Firstly, Tao Qingyuan would definitely not agree to target the Dragon Tiger Sect without any reason, and Chen Yuan couldn’t possibly divulge the real reason. If Tao Qingyuan didn’t act, neither would Lv Yuan and Shi Yunlong.

With his current strength, going up against Xu Lingtian and Tang Qian together would be suicidal.

Most importantly, Chen Yuan had once learned from Tao Qingyuan’s mouth that the previous Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect had not yet been reported deceased, meaning that aside from Xu Lingtian, there might be another Reach Profound expert within the sect.

A forceful approach was not the wise choice; he needed a strategic conquest!

Before long, Chen Yuan deliberately hid his appearance and quietly sneaked into the Prefecture City, not wanting to attract too much attention. Inside the Heavenly Patrol Hall, Chen Yuan met Tao Qingyuan.

When Tao Qingyuan heard the news of Nie Qi Yun’s death from Chen Yuan, his face turned ashen, and his gaze lingered suspiciously on Chen Yuan, as if doubting whether he had a hand in it.

He even regretted a little that he should not have sent Chen Yuan to rendezvous in the first place.

Nie Qi Yun was not an ordinary Heavenly Patrol Envoy; he had the potential to become a Green Envoy, and he even left his name in the State City.

Taking a deep breath, Tao Qingyuan suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and asked in a low voice,

“What exactly happened? You must tell me everything.”

Chen Yuan nodded and recounted his entire journey, racing to the rendezvous point left by Nie Qi Yun as fast as he could after leaving the Prefecture City.

However, when he arrived, he didn’t find Nie Qi Yun. After investigating, he discovered that Nie Qi Yun was actually in another room, and they had narrowly missed each other.

Afterward, the loyal and people-oriented Chen Patrol Envoy put a lot of effort into finding Nie Qi Yun’s traces again, but by the time he found them, it was too late.

All that was left on the ground were severed limbs and an identity token, and before they had a chance to confirm it, the person who had killed Nie Qi Yun appeared and clashed with Chen Yuan.

After much hardship, he managed to repel the attacker, sustaining some injuries in the process and almost breaking his Yan Ling Saber.

Yes, Chen Yuan did not reveal the facts, which were three parts false to seven parts true, because he did not want others to know that he now possessed the strength to rival a Reach Profound expert.

In truth, facing a Reach Profound martial artist was still somewhat forced for him, and the credit for killing the black-clad Reach Profound assassin was mostly due to the Blood Evil Saber.

Being known could bring more trouble. Facing one Reach Profound expert might be manageable, but two would certainly diminish the Blood Evil Saber’s power.

The ceiling for a possible next assassination attempt would be greatly raised.

Only when he had his breakthrough would it be time for Chen Yuan to reveal himself.

He remembered a saying, “When others say you have a certain level of strength, you better truly possess it!”

“This subordinate’s words are absolutely true; my lord is welcome to investigate thoroughly,”

Chen Yuan said, adding another sentence after speaking and drawing out his Yan Ling Saber for Tao Qingyuan to examine carefully.

After looking it over, Tao Qingyuan slowly exhaled, somewhat convinced by Chen Yuan’s words. He truly didn’t wish for Chen Yuan to be stained with the blood of a colleague.

“This official will thoroughly investigate the matter. Since you have been injured, you should rest for a while,” Tao Qingyuan instructed with a wave of his hand.

He would definitely investigate, not taking Chen Yuan’s word for it, but ultimately Chen Yuan was confident he would find nothing, as seven parts of what he said were true.

And what about the ashes of the two assassinated that very day? How could he investigate?

Unless he started with Yue Shan and the others. However, Chen Yuan acted with trusted people this time, as he had anticipated the need to kill Nie Qi Yun and wouldn’t involve any strangers.

Even if someone could investigate through Yue Shan and others, leaving aside the possibility of finding anything, as soon as someone started investigating, Chen Yuan would get word.

Worst case, he could make a fuss.

“This subordinate takes his leave.”

With myriad thoughts in his mind, Chen Yuan’s outward appearance showed nothing.
