Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhu Ya started the car back up and resumed their journey.
“Mr. Ye, then I’ll send you back to Mingcui Villa now. 1’11 pick you up at eight in the morning the day after tomorrow. Medicine King Valley is deep within Langya Mountain, not far away.”
“Alright.”
Ye Chen fell into a state of deep thought. How should he gather the information he wanted that day?
In a courtyard in Capital City, an old man was playing chess with a middle-aged man.
The two of them looked alike, so they were naturally father and son.
Jiang Jianfeng placed a piece down and looked at the old man in front of him. He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
The old man also placed a piece and spoke first, “The storm is over. 1 don’t know what that mysterious expert is doing.”
Other than those who were not on the grandmaster rankings, almost everyone had been beaten by that person. Some were dead, some were injured. This time, they had really suffered heavy losses.
“Our Jiang family was prepared to deal with it, but that mysterious expert seems to have suddenly disappeared. I don’t know what this all means. Is it a warning, or some kind of grudge?”
“Jianfeng, you need to improve your strength. You’ve been stuck at the ninth rank for too long. Your goal is to be number one, understand?”
“A member of the Jiang family must take first rank! And you are the only hope of the Jiang family!”
Jiang Jianfeng could feel the weight of expectations.
“Didn’t Big Brother take first rank back then? Everyone knows that he entered the Kunlun Mountains.”
The old man shook his head.
“The Kunlun Mountains are basically isolated from Huaxia. It will be very difficult for him to come out after entering. 1 reckon that I won’t be able to see him again in my lifetime. He should be pursuing the supreme realm of martial arts at the moment, so the gap between him and us will only grow wider.”
“The first ranked expert on the grandmaster rankings has held on to that position for too long. If we don’t dethrone him, the Jiang family will definitely be suppressed by that family. That cannot be allowed to happen. Therefore, this heavy responsibility will be placed on you. Jianfeng, you’re the only hope of the Jiang family now.”
Jiang Jianfeng hesitated for a few seconds before he said, “Dad, recently my impression of Ye Chen has changed a little. I’m thinking about Jiang Rong’s family…”
“Don’t mention her! Or that bastard! They are the shame of the Jiang family,” The old man said coldly. His tone was determined and furious.
Jiang Jianfeng smiled bitterly.
“The potential in his body is very terrifying…”
Pa!
The old man slammed his palm on the chessboard, stood up, and said angrily, “So what? Can it compare to the experts of our family? The true experts of the martial arts world are all here!”
“The ancients had a saying about being a big fish in a small pond. He’s not even qualified to be a big fish yet!”
“I don’t care what achievements that bastard has! He can’t change the fact that he has mortal roots! I didn’t acknowledge Jiang Rong’s family before, and I won’t acknowledge them now. That kid will have to turn the world upside down before 1 do!”
“Those three fellows can forget about ever joining the Jiang family! They’re not qualified!”
The old man was obviously furious. Veins were popping out on his neck, and his face was flushed red.
Jiang Jianfeng shook his head helplessly. He originally wanted to persuade the old man in front of him, but that seemed impossible right now.
In any case, although Ye Chen was very strong, it was almost impossible for him to kill the first-rank expert on the grandmaster rankings.
Naturally, Ye Chen did not know about what had happened in Capital City.
Zhu Ya sent him back to the villa and then left.
Before returning, he went to take a look at Rakshasa next door, who was already showing signs of being able to feel again in his arm. It seemed that the prospects of a full recovery were quite high.
If he recovered the day after tomorrow, he would take Rakshasa to the Medicine King Valley with him.
Zhu Ya had told him that this was a big event, and many experts would be present. It would be troublesome if Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department or Xuemei Palace sent experts to assassinate him again. Although he was not afraid, he did not want to expose his strength.
It would be best if someone else dealt with it.
After that, Ye Chen returned to the villa. Xia Ruoxue and Sun Yi were sitting on the sofa, looking at Ye Chen with interest.
“What’s wrong with you guys?”
“Who was the girl in the car just now?” Sun Yi blinked as she asked
Ye Chen smiled and waved the invitation card in his pocket.
“Just a friend. She delivered something for me.”
Sun Yi then changed the topic.
“Ye Chen, Ruoxue and I had a long discussion just now. Both of us want to learn how to protect ourselves. Didn’t you say that you were going to help me find a suitable cultivation technique? Did you manage to find one? Is there one for Ruoxue too?”
Ye Chen slapped his forehead as he recalled something.
“Wait here for me.”
After saying that, he went to his bedroom on the second floor, closed the door, and entered the Samsara Graveyard.
He walked over to the third tombstone and was about to speak when the black-robed old man appeared out of thin air.
“Senior, I have a presumptuous request,” Ye Chen said respectfully.
“Speak.”
“Senior, do you have any cultivation techniques that are suitable for girls? It would be best if they are speed-type cultivation techniques.”
The black-robed old man came to a realization. His gaze narrowed as he said indifferently, “You want to let the two girls down there cultivate, right?”
“Yes.”
The black-robed old man pondered for a few seconds before tapping Ye Chen’s forehead.
“I was once married to a woman. The cultivation techniques she cultivated should meet your requirements, so I’ll pass them to you. This cultivation technique is quite straightforward, so it shouldn’t be too hard for them to comprehend.”
“If they can protect themselves, the pressure on you will be reduced.”
Before long, two streams of information gushed into Ye Chen’s forehead, the Phoenix Heart technique and the Riding Wind technique.
“One is a mental cultivation technique, while the other is a qinggong technique. If they are used in tandem and mastered to the initial success stage, very few people should be able to hurt them.”
“Also, there’s a price to pay for these cultivation techniques. You must break through and reach the unity realm within a month.”
“Understood.”
Ye Chen copied down the two cultivation techniques and went downstairs to hand them to the two girls.
Under his guidance, Xia Ruoxue was the first to be able to sense spiritual energy. Her speed was several days faster than his own when he first entered the Kunlun Mountains.
As for Sun Yi, she succeeded a few hours after Xia Ruoxue.
Ye Chen could not help but feel a little helpless as he watched the two girls enter a state of cultivation.
If these two fellows had started cultivating since they were young, they would probably have become quite powerful.
After that, Ye Chen returned to his room.. After the battle with the assassin, he felt that he was about to break through to the sixth-level of the qi transformation realm!
