Chapter 46: Why Are You Reasoning With a Martial Artist?
Whats their goal? What can they earn from a war between Greenpine and Great Xia? Celestial Xiaos face turned grim.
She thought that Greenpine attacking Great Xia was just natural selection at work, but she was unnerved by the knowledge that a third power had been nudging them along. Doesnt that make our Greenpine a pawn on someone elses chessboard? Does Greenpines upper echelon know this?
Many doubts surfaced in her mind.
You just have to stay still, Fang Chen said. You dont have to do anything.
Celestial Xiao had more to say, but Fang Chen had already turned around and left. She tried to chase him, but Xu Ge stood in her way.
Celestial Xiao, our young master has been patient with you. Dont push your luck. You have nothing to gain from that, Xu Ge reminded.
Do you intend to imprison me here? Celestial Xiao frowned.
Our young master said that youre free to leave. Xu Ge stepped aside. We wont stop you.
Celestial Xiao fell silent.
Since you dont intend to leave, you better stay still, Xu Ge said with a smirk.
That night, Fang Chen ground the cinnabar, dabbed his spirit-ki-infused brush into it, and drew on his recently acquired stack of talisman papers to create more Purple Lightning Talismans.
My spirit ki is depleting at a faster rate, but its flowing more stably now. Using equipment infused with spirit ki does make a difference when it comes to drawing talismans, Fang Chen said with a smile.
Back when he used a normal brush, he felt like the spirit ki he infused into the brush was more unruly, and the slightest carelessness could result in his efforts being in vain. This feeling was greatly lessened now, but he was consuming spirit ki faster now.
On top of that, the Purple Lightning Talisman he drew would be significantly stronger now.
He would deplete his spirit ki once every two hours, but by daybreak, he had already drawn eight Purple Lightning Talismans. It was also around then that the surrounding spirit ki suddenly began converging into his body at a furious pace.
Within moments, another immortal vein formed inside his body. At the same time, his spirit ki capacity also increased by four to five times that of before.
Ive reached third stage Ki Refinement? Fang Chen smiled as he felt the changes brought about by his breakthrough.
His progress hadnt been so fast back when he was a martial artist. His rich soul was clearly helping him a lot in his immortal cultivation, which was why he caught Daoist Cloudcranes attention in the first place.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
I wonder if Id get a chance to meet that fairy again. Was she the one who elevated my soul, or was there some other impetus? Fang Chen wondered.
He might not be able to see anymore, but the benefits clearly outweighed the cons.
Young master, Guhe, Longdu, and Yizhous scholars are berating us outside our manor! Xu Ge said from the doorway with a seething voice.
Why? Fang Chen pushed the door open and walked out with a smile.
Theyre saying that you unreasonably massacred the cavalrymen of a Longdu noble! Xu Ge reported with an irked voice.
Slap her, Tie Ma, Fang Chen instructed with a smile.
Yes, young master. A person flitted in front of Long Huixin and gave her ten tight slaps.
The crowd was dazed.
Fang Cangyou was startled. As much as he wanted to do the same, he knew that this could potentially turn everyone against their Fang Manor. Chener, you need to calm down!
Its as they have said, second uncle. Were martial artists. Why are you wasting your strength debating with those scholars? You should have just beaten them up, Fang Chen replied.
We can do that? Fang Cangyou was baffled.
Why not? Fang Chen asked with a chuckle.
The slaps left Long Huixin so disheveled that she looked like a madwoman. She stood in a daze until the stinging pain on her cheeks finally sank in, and she howled in disbelief, Y-you dare to hit me?!
Fang a Guhe scholar roared in anger.
Slap him.
Yes, young master.
The angry Guhe scholar had his rage slapped out of him.
You all
Slap him.
Yes, young master.
You
Slap her.
The scholars who attempted to criticize Fang Chen were left with swollen cheeks. Not even Great Xias scholars were spared from the slaps.
The crowd glared hatefully at Fang Chen. If they stood a chance at all, they wouldnt have hesitated to pounce on him and tear him into shreds.
Fang Chen chuckled. I am a mere martial artist. Why bother reasoning with me? Try this once more, and it wont end with just slaps next time. Ill take at least a leg.
The crowd felt chilled. How can he be so lawless?
You still dont want to leave? Fang Chen asked with a smile.
The scholars knew better than to test Fang Chens bottom line, especially since the latter had already massacred Longdus cavalrymen. Thus, they turned around and left.
Long Huixin touched her cheeks before taking her leave. She turned around and angrily glared at Fang Chen.
