Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 116 - 115: It’s Too Difficult for Me!
The next morning.
Upon opening his eyes.
[Last night, four times the joy, rewarded 600 skill points, with Famous Spring Water bonus of 180 points.]
points!
From the eighth grade to the seventh grade, it increased by 200 points. Counting the 180 points bonus, it’s a total of 780 points.
Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
It’s the displayed information that changed after the four times the joy, quite considerate.
Really... such indecent stuff.
At this moment, he started calculating in his mind, at this rate, in over a month. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Still acceptable!"
....
After breakfast, he instructed the ladies to focus on cultivation during this time, especially Pei Yuenan, who should skip going to Ink Lotus Pavilion, as those are secondary matters.
Then he left home and headed to the City Lord’s Mansion.
About an hour later, he walked out of the City Lord’s Mansion’s gate, satisfied.
In the carriage, looking at the "Cloud Soaring Technique" in his hand, a third-grade cultivation technique!
This was deduced by Xuan Er from a fourth-grade cultivation technique.
Although it’s not the best among third grades, at least it’s a third-grade technique, and the cultivation isn’t that difficult.
Just when he expressed his desire for a cultivation technique, Xuan Er tossed him the "Cloud Soaring Technique" as if throwing away trash.
This is a third-grade cultivation technique!
Something precious in others’ eyes, in his, is like trash.
"Truly the dry will die of drought, the wet will drown!"
Chen Xuan sighed deeply at this moment.
Of course, it wasn’t given for free; the condition was ’achieving small success in Divine Foot Technique within a year!’ Otherwise, he’d be Ye Jincen’s follower for a year.
"Hehe..."
"Underestimating me? I’ll show you I can achieve small success in a month!"
Chen Xuan really wants to see what Xuan Er’s expression will be then!
...
Inside the Divine Capture Bureau.
Qin Gang has really been unable to eat or sleep well these past two days.
It’s been two days since the Youlan Association, yet there’s no sign of Chen Xuan.
"Immortal Spirit Dates, Immortal Spirit Dates!" he murmured while lying on the table.
"Hey, do you think the boss might only have a few Immortal Spirit Dates, not enough even for himself, so he’s embarrassed to come to the bureau?"
He turned his head and asked Liu He beside him.
But Liu He just looked at him as if he were an idiot. Such tiring thoughts, really, his brain can come up with this.
"Is the boss that kind of person?"
"True, the boss has such thick skin, he wouldn’t!" Just remembering Chen Xuan’s dignified look while slacking off, he was so righteous that even someone as thick-skinned as him couldn’t say it.
"You, you’re itching for a beating! If the boss hears this, you’ll get a thrashing."
Liu He put down the book in his hand, sighed and shook his head seeing Qin Gang’s self-destructive behavior.
Qin Gang is good at everything, but his mouth seems disconnected from his brain. No matter how many times he’s told, he just can’t change, truly a lost cause.
"Who’s itching for a beating? Tell me, I’ll straighten him out."
At this moment, Chen Xuan arrived at the Divine Capture Bureau.
He happened to overhear Liu He’s words.
"Boss! You’re finally here." Qin Gang, originally slouched, instantly stood up.
"It’s you, isn’t it, Qin Gang!"
Chen Xuan laughed, pointing at him.
"Boss!" At this time, Liu He also stood up, his gaze full of anticipation.
These two days, it wasn’t just Qin Gang; Liu He too had been eagerly thinking of Chen Xuan, just not rambling about it all day like Qin Gang.
"Hehe...."
Chen Xuan chuckled, and in the next moment, two crystal-clear Immortal Spirit Dates appeared in his hand.
As soon as the Immortal Spirit Dates appeared.
Immediately, the two couldn’t take their eyes off them, and even the sound of Qin Gang swallowing his saliva echoed in the room.
Chen Xuan didn’t beat around the bush, tossing the two Immortal Spirit Dates over to them directly.
They traced two green arcs through the air.
Qin Gang hastily stretched out his hands to catch them carefully.
Even Liu He, usually steady, couldn’t take his eyes off the Immortal Spirit Dates once he caught them.
"A reward for you two; do well from now on!"
"Yes, Boss!" they shouted in unison.
....
Half a month flew by.
Chen Xuan resumed his routine of commuting between two points, on duty during the day, four times the joy at night.
During this period, constantly consuming Immortal Spirit Dates, the women at home made steady progress.
Except for Su Yun.
Because she switched to the "Cloud Soaring Technique," she had to start cultivating from scratch. However, since this technique is a third-grade one, her Martial Dao talent is quite average, so the cultivation is still quite challenging for her.
Chen Mansion.
They were having breakfast.
Su Yun seemed distracted; even her favorite peach flower pastries didn’t interest her.
"What’s wrong?" Chen Xuan asked.
"Brother Xuan, can I stop cultivating the ’Cloud Soaring Technique’? It’s so hard, and there are so many things I don’t understand." Su Yun looked troubled.
Not only that, now even Sister, Sister Liu, and Sister Pei are spending every day just cultivating.
It’s so boring.
Moreover, Su Wanqiu was constantly watching over her cultivation, not allowing her any slack.
This was even more uncomfortable for someone like her who was used to lazing around.
"Sigh."
Chen Xuan sighed in his heart, guessing that this was the reason.
Ever since she changed to cultivating this technique, it was clear she wasn’t as happy as before; the laughter in the household had diminished greatly.
But...
He had no choice; the old cultivation technique could only reach the sixth grade at most.
Too low.
He now needed more skill points than ever.
If he really had a choice, he wouldn’t want to see her like this.
Although everything seemed calm now, with the rebels and Great Xia coexisting peacefully at the moment, who could predict when a battle might break out?
But Su Yun’s talent was there; it’s like asking someone with a middle school education to suddenly learn high school knowledge, of course, it’s difficult.
Her personality was also childlike, which made it hard for her.
He needed to think of a solution.
So he began by comforting her, "It’s okay, take your time with your cultivation, there’s no rush. It’s alright if there’s no progress, I’ll see if I can find a way to make your training easier in a while."
"Do you really have a way?" The little girl, though young, wasn’t foolish.
She had some understanding of Martial Dao training now.
"When have I ever lied to you? If I say there is a way, then there is!" In reality, he already had a method in mind, but he needed to wait.
Moreover, although this cultivation technique was difficult, it could also help temper her character.
"Don’t worry, if Brother Xuan says there’s a way, then there’s definitely a way." At this moment, Su Wanqiu also spoke to persuade her.
"Alright, then I’ll continue cultivating. But let’s clarify first, this ’Cloud Soaring Technique’ is too hard. If I don’t make progress, don’t blame me." While saying this, she couldn’t help but glance at Su Wanqiu.
"You little girl! It’s all for your own good! You still aren’t happy about it, fine, I’m ignoring you!"
"Hehe... it’s too hard! You ask me every day how my cultivation is going, and I don’t dare to lie. Sister, it’s really difficult for me." The little girl deliberately made an exaggerated expression.
Su Wanqiu was amused by her but wondered if she had been too strict with her.
After all, she had been spoiled by Chen Xuan all along.
"Alright, alright, no one will ask you anymore in the future, cultivate as you wish, do whatever you want, is that okay?"
"Oh... yay..." Raising both hands, she finally smiled.
She then took a piece of peach blossom pastry and took a big bite, "Mmm, this is delicious...."
"Hahaha...."
...
Inside the carriage.
Chen Xuan looked at the panel in front of him.
Cloud Soaring Technique (Not Initiated (0/2000)).
[Skill Points: 12832].
The idea he had during breakfast was to spend his skill points to cultivate the Cloud Soaring Technique himself, then pass on the cultivation insights and experience to Su Yun, making it much easier for her to cultivate.
However, doing so would waste quite a lot of skill points.
Currently, this was what he lacked the most, and he planned to save up as soon as possible for the skill points needed by the Divine Techniques.
Not only because of the task Xuan Er assigned him, but also because this Divine Technique was indeed life-saving.
"Let’s wait a bit longer."
He closed the panel. Even though it was just a third-grade cultivation technique, it still required 2000 skill points to initate, which was too much.
...
"We’re here, Master Chen!"
Lao Huang’s voice came into the carriage.
With a soft acknowledgment, Chen Xuan got off the carriage and walked into the Divine Capture Bureau.
Meanwhile, in a corner a kilometer away from the Divine Capture Bureau.
Two men were looking over this way.
"Is he the Chen Xuan from the Divine Capture Bureau? Martial Dao fifth grade?" asked the man in black.
"Yes, Celestial Master Long Teng, that’s him! I sent people to investigate others from the Divine Capture Bureau and confirmed he’s indeed fifth grade, but should be a very strong fifth grade!"
The man beside him responded respectfully.
Longteng held quite a position in the rebels, and he had spent a lot of effort trying to curry favor with him this time.
Yet, after hearing him out, Longteng was puzzled about how Long River had fallen to just a fifth-grade Martial Cultivator.
Long River was, after all, a fifth-grade Spirit Cultivator; unless he recklessly engaged Chen Xuan in melee combat, there was no way he could lose to a fifth-grade Martial Cultivator in any respect.
After all, Martial Cultivators couldn’t possible match Spirit Cultivators of the same grade.
"Could it be that there was someone else at the scene?" he wondered internally.
Ever since Long River died, he’d been investigating who was responsible for his death.
He ventured into the city this time, not for revenge for Long River—after all, in his eyes, the dead held no value, regardless of them being his own brother.
Moreover,
The rebels had ordered not to cause any trouble for the upcoming major events.
However, the sect’s Cyan Jade Shaking Light Pendant had always been with Long River, so if he died, it was most likely taken by Chen Xuan.
This Cyan Jade Shaking Light Pendant could help Spirit Cultivators nurture spiritual power and was said to hold a great secret.
Yet, Long River had never deciphered it after all these years.
Nevertheless, with merely average talent, Long River had still managed to catch up with him, reaching the fifth grade as a Spirit Cultivator.
Evidently, even without a great secret, the Cyan Jade Shaking Light Pendant was an irresistible lure to him.
Previously, though he intended to obtain this jade pendant, Long River was always on guard against him, leaving little opportunity.
Now that Long River was dead, he was determined to acquire the jade pendant.
More importantly, he had recently advanced to become a fourth-grade Spirit Cultivator, which gave him the courage to come to Youlan Mansion.
"Hmm! Let’s wait until dark."
After that, the two left the corner.
