Chapter 308 Return to Tiangang City In this treasure house on the seventh floor, Su Chen spent most of his time on "Journey in the Chaos World".In this treasure trove, I can only study it in an initial stage. It feels like I have reached the basic level of entry. But Su Chen couldn't try to use it. After all, it is a poisonous skill. If there is any mistake, not only yourself will be in trouble. Other people around him might be in danger of their lives. Borrowing the [Bachelor] destiny, Su Chen tried to remember all the contents. Many people have difficulty remembering because they don’t understand. The content of "Chaos Floating in the World" is obscure, and many of the ways of expression are different from those today. I can only recite it mechanically. Su Chen was able to understand the meaning of the classics, so it was much easier for him to remember them.
In addition, many contents in "Chaos Floating World" are records of events of the past by predecessors. It can be regarded as a lesson left for everyone, so that future generations can be alert and avoid repeating the same path. Many people cannot understand it, so it is indeed difficult to memorize the entire book. While taking a break, Su Chen looked at other martial arts books. It seems that a lot of the martial arts techniques in this area have been lost. Many of the books in stock were not saved in the past. Su Chen guessed that when Anshan Kingdom was in turmoil, many treasures were lost. Today, the Kingdom of Ansan has less than one-tenth of its former territory. It’s not surprising that we can’t keep those treasures. Many of the skills here can be considered mysterious, but for Su Chen, it is not worth trying again. After searching the seventh floor, Su Chen went to the sixth floor and searched it again. The following martial arts manuals were indeed simpler. It wasn't completely fruitless, Su Chen found some pill recipes in it. Things like elixir recipes are still quite precious. Moreover, this place is isolated from the Great Zhou and people here don't know about each other. These recipes of pills should not have been circulated in the Great Zhou yet. Maybe it can be combined with the Jade Pill Technique to refine it. Seven days passed quickly. Su Chen was personally satisfied with the gains of these seven days.
The exquisite poison skills are of great help to me. When you walk through this world, you cannot avoid or hide from poison. Not only warriors who practice poison skills, but also many monsters have poison glands. If I can master it, let alone attacking. It is a huge step forward in improving one's own defense. After coming out of the treasure house, Su Chen said something to Lord Luo Shan. For others, it seems there is no need to even say goodbye. After a short rest, he set off back to Da Zhou. Before leaving, Chen Yifang, Du Yan and others happened to call their elders. Su Chen just glanced at them, and then they all behaved themselves. After leaving Hongfeng City, Su Chen headed towards the southwest. I left marks along the way, so the way back is easy to find. Walking to the outskirts of Hongfeng City, Su Chen encountered the circle of poisonous fog again. But this time, he didn't need to rely on the destiny of [Perseverance] to hold on. Su Chen tried to activate the Chaos Poison Technique, and when he was corroded by the poisonous mist, a pair of hands seemed to appear in his body. He caught all these poisonous creatures and dragged them to his abdomen. But the whole process was not easy. A sharp pain flowed through the body, extremely clear and obvious. When it comes to this poisonous skill, I am only a beginner. There is too much poisonous fog here, and it is not realistic to rely solely on Chaos Poison Power. It seems a bit arrogant. But with the cooperation of the destiny of [Unyielding], everything became much easier. As he moved forward, Su Chen had no extra thoughts in his mind. It’s been so long since I came out, it’s time to go back. Following the marks he left behind, Su Chen returned along the same route. In comparison, going back is really much faster. It is now the end of May and not long before mid-June. If I really want to participate in this mid-year competition, I'd better return to Tiangang City before the tenth day of June. It takes time to communicate with the sect and go to the capital.
Just leave some time for yourself. Su Chen still has many questions in his mind about this mid-year competition. I have heard a lot of information from Liu Xingwan, but no one from Tiangang City has told me anything. Su Chen didn’t know what was going on. Does Tiangang City have any plans, or does it not intend to let me go there? After getting out of the wilderness, the journey became easier. If you feel a little tired, you can go to the post station and take a carriage back. Su Chen estimated that he should return to Tiangang City around the seventh or eighth day of the Lunar New Year. We had a smooth journey and even arrived a little ahead of schedule, at noon on the sixth day. When they returned home and saw Su Chen, A Niang and younger sister hurried to the kitchen to get busy. Coming back at this time, Su Chen must not have had lunch. Soon, some refreshing home-cooked dishes were served. Su Chen scooped a large bowl of rice and sat aside. A Niang and little sister had just eaten, and were watching Su Chen eat. “Before, he said that after we moved here, our family could see each other more often. But in the past six months, Xiaochen, I don’t know if you have spent a month at home.” A Niang said softly, with a look of distress on her face. She felt that Su Chen was working too hard. In Jiang'an City before, she didn't know what Su Chen was doing outside. Now she saw that he was often unable to go home. Outside, you are always facing danger. Hearing what his mother said, Su Chen could only smile. "It's still better than being in Jiang'an City. Mother, if you and my younger sister were still in Jiang'an City, I could only go back once or twice in the next six months. We see it less often than we do.” Come to think of it, at least in Tiangang City, the family can get together so many times. "Has anything happened in Tiangang City recently?" Su Chen was chatting with A Niang and her younger sister, and casually asked them about the Tiangang City they saw. "The price of vegetables is much cheaper this year, and Tiangang City has added a lot of arable land, so the output has increased a lot compared to last year. Now the vegetable farmers around here have started to sell their crops to other cities.
It looks like everyone is having a good year.” The advancement of the front line of defense seems to be very effective. "Another thing that is somewhat related to us is that Jin Yue is back again." "Back? What do you mean? What did she come back for?" Su Chen was a little confused. In order to prevent her from contacting them, the Jin family had forced her to return to the family. Her brother Jin Chao also came to warn her. "It's not about work. Sister Jin just came back to continue her cultivation in Tiangang City." The younger sister at the side interrupted. She actually liked Jin Yue very much. She thought she would never see him again, but she didn't expect to meet him again. As soon as the younger sister finished speaking, A Niang continued to add. “At the beginning of May, not long after you left home, Xiaochen, the people from the Jin family came. It seems like they want to see all the heads of the families and also want to see us. I don't want to meet them. Their daughter is so precious, why would they come to us for help? By then, even though they were the ones who took the initiative to meet us, they will say that we are trying to marry into the Jin family again.” A Niang didn't have a good impression of the Jin family and was full of resentment. “It’s better for us to have less contact with the Jin family. There's really nothing wrong with Jin Yue, but her family members have always acted superior. If we continue to make friends with them, we will still suffer.” Su Chen nodded, indicating that he had heard it. If the Jin family was only arrogant and proud in front of him, Su Chen would not be too angry. But the person they arranged to return the pills not only spoke rudely to them. He even talked nonsense in front of his mother and younger sister, making all kinds of derogatory accusations. Under such circumstances, Su Chen really didn't want to have any more interactions with the Jin family. After having lunch at home, Su Chen went to Mr. Ouyang's yard first. Mr. Ouyang did not go to the front line today. It's rare to find Mr. Ouyang when I come back. Seeing Su Chen coming back, Ouyang Chuan's face was also full of surprise.
After the surprise, he quickly took Su Chen to his room. The expression on his face also turned serious. "Mr. Ouyang, you are like this, I feel like I have made a big mistake." Su Chen spoke, trying to change the atmosphere. But after hearing this, Ouyang Chuan's expression remained serious. "Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with that Senior Qiu?" "What happened to Senior Qiu?" Su Chen did not answer Ouyang Chuan's question, because he didn't seem to know how to answer it. “In late May, your senior sent you another batch of elixirs. Tongcao Lihun Pill is a top-notch pill used by sixth-grade Shanlu Realm warriors to advance to the next level. The talented warriors from all the major sects only use the Soul-Benefiting Pill when they are promoted. Tongcao Lihun Pill, she is really willing to give it away." As he spoke, Ouyang Chuan also took out the pills from the house. Qiu Ruoshuang's generosity made Ouyang Chuan somewhat suspicious of her motives. Does he have any intentions towards Su Chen? Want to snatch Su Chen away? Su Chen looked at the medicine bottle in his hand. I just felt that Qiu Ruoshuang was really thoughtful, and she knew that she had urgent matters to deal with. But he still remembered his promotion to the initial stage of the sixth rank. After getting the medicine bottle, the two sat idly in the yard. Ouyang Chuan told Su Chen about the situation on the front line of defense. The dam proposed by Su Chen is indeed very effective. After lowering the water level, no monster could sneak into the defense line through the river. Tiangang City’s current frontier defense line has been completely stabilized. Most of the fertile land has now been reclaimed. In a few months, some people should gradually move forward. After talking about these, Ouyang Chuan mentioned Jin Yue and the Jin family again. Seeing that Su Chen didn't want to say more, he didn't continue. After saying all these things, Ouyang Chuan finally mentioned the mid-year competition.
“Since you beat Situ Sanping last year, many people have been watching you. Especially the Yunyang Sect, they have been thinking about how to attack you. The Great Elder and his men had previously wanted to cancel the mid-year competition. But the leader of the Yunyang Sect sent the corpse of the earth demon to the capital some time ago. As a result, this year's mid-year competition was more than just a simple competition. It also concerns the eligibility to enter the Mingying Wasteland. The Great Elder has also discussed this with me several times. After thinking it over, I think I should discuss this with you again." (End of this chapter)
