After using up a Flame Crystal, Qin Chu stopped Cultivating.
Feeling the Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire within his Dantian, Qin Chu found that the Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire had indeed grown a little. In the past, cultivating the Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire rarely showed visible improvement, so this situation indicated that the Flame Crystal's effect was very good.
Qin Chu was very satisfied with this situation. Furthermore, during his Cultivation, he also discovered that while the Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire absorbed the fire energy from the Flame Crystal, his Origin Qi energy, when flowing to his hands, also absorbed some pure energy.
Standing up, Qin Chu performed a Sword Art. The flaming Sword Qi spewing from the tip of the Azure Spirit Sword was stronger than before.
After finishing his Sword Art, Qin Chu then performed the Hell Suppressing Fist.
As soon as the Hell Suppressing Fist was unleashed, the small courtyard was filled with thudding sounds.
Just then, Qing Yi and Qin Lingxi pushed open the courtyard gate and entered. They saw Qin Chu practicing his fist art, and their eyes were filled with surprise and shock, because the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan was not proficient in fist arts.
"Myriad Manifestation Hell Suppression, this is a Fist of Power!" Qing Yi murmured softly.
After throwing another punch, Qin Chu withdrew his fist and greeted Qing Yi and Qin Lingxi.
"Qin Chu, what kind of fist art is this?" Qin Lingxi asked, looking at Qin Chu.
"Hell Suppressing Fist, I don't know the specifics either." Qin Chu thought for a moment, then told Qin Lingxi and Qing Yi about the Hell Suppressing Fist.
"Legend has it that Hell is full of numerous evil spirits, and fierce and brutal evil spirits often riot. The Hell Guardian created ten thousand stone statues and set up the Myriad Manifestation Hell Suppression Great Array to suppress the evil spirits of Hell. After the Myriad Manifestation Hell Suppression was formed, the Hell Guardian, based on the power of the Myriad Manifestation Hell Suppression, developed the Hell Suppressing Fist. Because the power of the Myriad Manifestation is the power of strength, the Hell Suppressing Fist is also called the Fist Art of Power. In the past, no one was ever heard to have obtained this Legacy." Qing Yi introduced what he knew about the Hell Suppressing Fist.
"Qing Yi, are you saying that the Hell Suppressing Fist Qin Chu is Cultivating has a great origin?" Qin Lingxi asked, looking at Qing Yi.
Qing Yi nodded, "Its origin is extremely great. What I just said is a legend, the specifics are hard to say, but it is definitely an ancient Legacy."
"Then who could have brought it to Qin Chu?" Qin Lingxi was a little puzzled.
"Aunt, don't think so much. This is an ancient fist manual. I've looked at it, and there are no traces of tampering. The other party genuinely wants to help me, and I also have some ideas in mind. I'll know later."
Then Qin Lingxi and Qing Yi said that the two of them were going to the Vermilion Bird Holy Land.
"Aunt, how much of a Spirit Stone shortage does the Family still have? I'll refine some more Medicinal Pills here and send them back to the Family later." Qin Chu asked, looking at Qin Lingxi.
"Not much is lacking. When that great battle happened twenty years ago, the Family's resources were carried by your grandfather, so there wasn't much loss. It's just that too much was used to set up the defensive Great Array this time, so there's a small shortfall." Qin Lingxi said.
"How many crystals were used to set up a defensive Great Array?" Qin Chu asked.
"If not ten thousand, then at least eight thousand." Qing Yi said with a smile.
"Aunt, was it really that much?" Qin Chu asked, looking at Qin Lingxi.
Qin Lingxi nodded, "In the past, our Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan was always powerful, so we never thought any force would dare to attack. Therefore, the Vermilion Bird Holy Land never set up any strong defensive Great Array. This time, your grandfather made a firm decision, so for the defensive Great Array, in addition to using some top-tier secret treasures as array eyes, several thousand Spirit Stones were also used, so the Family is indeed poor."
Qin Chu took out his storage waist pouch containing Spirit Stones and pushed it towards Qin Lingxi, "The Family is in great difficulty right now. Aunt, please take these Spirit Stones back. For the Family to recover, we cannot shortchange the clansmen. Also, I will send a batch of Medicinal Pills to our Family's stronghold soon."
Looking at Qin Chu, Qin Lingxi put away the storage waist pouch. Qin Chu was right about one thing, the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan was indeed in some difficulty now.
After drinking a cup of tea with Qin Chu, Qin Lingxi and Qing Yi left.
Watching Qing Yi and Qin Lingxi leave, Qin Chu gave them his deep blessings. In his world, these two were the most important people to him. Not to mention just blessings, Qin Chu was willing to make any other sacrifices.
After seeing off Qin Lingxi and Qing Yi, Qin Chu began Alchemy.
Not long after, Lang Lang arrived.
"Brother Lang, are Medicinal Pills easy to sell now?" Qin Chu asked while doing Alchemy.
"They sell well, always in short supply every day. Not to mention the Cultivators in Sky Sword City, Cultivators from the surrounding areas have also come." Lang Lang said while helping Qin Chu sort the Materials. He was a sixth-rank King Realm Cultivator, and although not an Alchemist, he had no problem assisting.
"Brother Lang, for the next period of time, we won't be earning Spirit Stones. We'll focus on exchanging for Materials. My Family needs some Medicinal Pills, so I can only trouble you for a while." Qin Chu said to Lang Lang.
"What you're saying is boring. Some things I don't care about at all. I'm very happy playing with you, that's the most important thing." Lang Lang said with a smile.
"As long as you're happy. It's just that exchanging Medicinal Pills for Materials will delay your pursuit of girls!" Qin Chu said after another furnace of Medicinal Pills was released.
Hearing Qin Chu's words, Lang Lang burst into laughter, "What do you mean, Qin Chu? Are you saying that if I don't use Medicinal Pills as bait, I won't be able to get girls? Then you're underestimating me. Brother Lang has many tricks up his sleeve, let's wait and see!"
Qin Chu smiled. He knew that Lang Lang was a friend he could confide in.
Qin Chu spent an entire day refining Medicinal Pills, and the next day, he went to the Alchemist Guild with Lang Lang.
Taking out the Medicinal Pills, Lang Lang first explained the rules, then sat down on a chair inside the stall, "Line up, no shouting, one by one!"
Qin Chu watched from the side and found that Lang Lang, this Medicinal Pill boss, was indeed very impressive. He had set up rules, and those who didn't queue or follow the rules wouldn't be traded with.
Exchanging for Materials was more troublesome, but fortunately, with Qin Chu authenticating the Materials, everything went smoothly.
When a young man appeared in the Medicinal Pill queue, Qin Chu was surprised. He went over and hugged the young man; he recognized him, it was Qian Xun.
"You're here, why didn't you look for me?" Qin Chu pulled Qian Xun out of the queue.
"You are now the top of the Azure Cloud Ranking, and also a Great Master Alchemist, I..." Qian Xun's words trailed off. He hadn't gone to find Qin Chu because he felt there was a gap between them.
Qin Chu shook his head, "You're being boring like this. We'll go for a drink at the tavern later, and talk about other things then."
While Qin Chu and Qian Xun were chatting, Lang Lang also finished handling the Medicinal Pills. Not only did he exchange all the Medicinal Pills for Materials, but he also made a date with a female Cultivator for tea.
Qin Chu knew that this was another sign of Lang Lang's successful pursuit, but that female Cultivator was also clearly aware of it.
Qin Chu called Lang Lang, and with Qian Xun, entered their favorite tavern, then introduced Qian Xun to Lang Lang.
"Qian Xun, following Qin Chu won't do. He's too honest. You should hang out with Brother Lang; there's wine to drink and beautiful women." Lang Lang said with a smile.
As Lang Lang spoke, his eyes straightened, because a woman wearing a white silk dress entered the tavern.
