Chapter 347: Bitter Cold

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After nearly three years, Chen Fei had once again come to the Ruan family in Qinhai City. Many people in the Ruan family were already showing signs of aging. After all, three years was not a short period of time for anyone.

Only someone like Chen Fei, who had reached the aperture tempering realm and had a lifespan of 200, had no traces of time on his face.

“Senior Chen.”

Ruan Qiaojun looked at Chen Fei with a smile on her face. After three years of not seeing her, Ruan Qiaojun’s youth had faded, and she now had the heroic spirit of someone in power.

Ruan Donglai stood at the back. It wasn’t that Ruan Donglai hadn’t thought of seizing power in the past few years. After all, the Ruan family’s business was so large and involved so many interests.

If he could control it, the benefits that would fall into his hands would increase exponentially.

But in the end, Ruan Donglai did not dare to do so. The reason was simple. It was because of Chen Fei, an aperture tempering realm expert.

Ruan Donglai wasn’t sure what kind of relationship Ruan Qiaojun had with

Chen Fei. He also didn’t know when Chen Fei would return to the Ruan residence.

If Chen Fei saw the change in the head of the Ruan Family, would he be furious? The Ruan Family was a big family in Qinhai City, but when faced with the anger of an aperture tempering realm cultivator, they had very little room to resist.

Ruan Donglai could naturally suck up to another aperture tempering realm to fight against Chen Fei, but relationships with aperture tempering realms weren’t that easy.

Most importantly, the aperture tempering realm that he fawned over didn’t usually live in Qinhai City. At that time, Chen Fei would directly kill him with a sword, and he would not be able to resist anything.

Taking a risk could be life-threatening. Ruan Donglai eventually suppressed this tempting idea and obediently became the a.s.sistant of the Ruan family.

In the middle of the hall, Chu Wennian and Chu Lan looked at Chen Fei. In the past three years, their status in the Ruan Family had risen rapidly because of Ruan Qiaojun.

Chu Wennian’s hair had already turned white, while Chu Lan’s appearance had become gentler. At this moment, there was still a glimmer of light in her eyes as she looked at Chen Fei.

“I came here today with a request.” Chen Fei looked at Ruan Qiaojun and smiled.

Rather than gathering information in Qinhai City, it would be better to let the Ruan Family handle this matter. In Qinhai City, the Ruan family knew more about the situation, which could save Chen Fei a lot of trouble.

In less than two hours, a stack of doc.u.ments was placed in front of Chen Fei. Chen Fei carefully read through every page of the information. After a moment, Chen Fei closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table.

Sword Return Tower was located in West Cloud City, about 2,000 miles away from here. There were seven Aperture Tempering realm cultivators in the sect. The highest cultivation was at the middle stage of the Aperture Tempering realm, and there were two of them.

This information was from five years ago. In recent years, because of the rebel army, the transmission of information between the cities was not as smooth as before.

In five years, it was possible that things would remain the same, but it was also possible that great changes would occur. This was something that Chen Fei could only confirm after he arrived at West Cloud City.

Chen Fei had been wondering how the Sword Return Tower had obtained the Great Thunder Sword’s inheritance. More importantly, did the Sword Return Tower have other inheritances of the Primordial Sword Sect?

For example, the Primordial Sword Scripture!

There was also a map in the information sent by the Ruan family. There were all kinds of markings on the map, and several forbidden areas were specially pointed out.

Such a map was not cheap and could prevent Chen Fei from falling into unnecessary danger. Of course, if one was strong enough, these so-called forbidden areas might be opportunities.

Chen Fei did not plan to explore these forbidden areas for the time being. He first went to the Sword Return Tower to ask about the situation. If he could find a few more complete inheritances, it would be of the greatest help to Chen Fei.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

There was a knock on the door. Chu Lan came in with some refreshments and carefully placed them on the table.

“Big Brother Chen, this is the pastry that was freshly picked this morning.” Chu Lan stood at the side and whispered to Chen Fei.

“Thank you.” Chen Fei looked at Chu Lan and couldn’t help but smile.

This scene reminded Chen Fei of the time when he was in the caravan. Chu Lan would heat up delicious food and specially bring it over for Chen Fei. Of course, at that time, Chu Wennian was also on guard against Chen Fei as if he was a thief.

He was afraid that Chen Fei would cheat his precious granddaughter away. After all, the cultivation that Chen Fei had displayed at that time was only in the simple Bone Tempering realm.

The Bone Tempering realm was naturally not considered bad, but Chen Fei’s Bone Tempering realm at that age was not considered outstanding. Moreover, at that time, the real situation was that they were avoiding possible pursuit.

Chu Wennian didn’t want Chen Fei, the young man he met on the road, to be involved in this matter. Those in the Bone Tempering realm did not even have the strength to resist.

Chen Fei picked up the Honey Flower Cake and took a bite. A fragrance spread between his lips and teeth. The taste was indeed very good. It was fresh and exquisitely made, making one’s appet.i.te increase.

When Chu Lan saw Chen Fei eat the Honey Flower Cake, her face could not help but reveal a happy smile.

“Have you encountered any difficulties recently?” Chen Fei took a sip of tea and looked at Chu Lan.

H

No, Grandpa and 1 have been living very well these past few years.” Chu Lan shook her head.

Ruan Qiaojun was the head of the household, so she naturally wouldn’t treat Chu Wennian and Chu Lan unfairly. These two people had experienced life and death together. Moreover, the Ruan family had been thriving under Ruan Qiaojun’s leadership for the past few years.

The more money she had, the more she would share it with the family. Everyone supported Ruan Qiaojun more and more.

“This is for you. You and your grandfather can take it.”

Chen Fei thought for a moment and a porcelain bottle appeared in his hand. There were some pills inside. He had taken them from Chou Yuanceng’s secret chamber.

Chou Yuanceng had stored things that were beneficial to his cultivation in the secret chamber. However, there were also some pills that were considered junk for the aperture tempering realm middle stage.

These pills were useless to aperture tempering realm cultivators, but to body refining realm cultivators, they were rare treasures. After all, Chou Yuanceng had not thrown them away as trash, which proved their value.

“All?”

Chu Lan looked at the porcelain bottle and was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to refuse, Chen Fei stuffed it into her palm.

“I still have some things to do, so I won’t be staying here for long. I’ll be leaving in a while.” Chen Fei said with a smile.

“Aren’t you going to stay for a few more days?” Chu Lan was really stunned. She felt disappointed and her good mood from before disappeared.

“Maybe in the future.”

Chen Fei said softly. However, if these words were to spread, Chen Fei did not know if he would come to Qinhai City again in the future.

An hour later, Chen Fei left Qinhai City and rushed in the direction of West Cloud City.

The Ruan Family had wanted to send a carriage to send Chen Fei to West Cloud City. However, with the speed of the carriage, it would take more than ten days to cover the distance of more than a thousand miles.

As such, it was better for Chen Fei to travel light.

According to Chen Fei’s current speed, even if he didn’t go all out, he could still reach West Cloud City the next day by just maintaining his normal speed and resting at night.

Several hours pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. Along the way, Chen Fei met several merchant groups. There was even a merchant group that was fighting with the mountain bandits.

The Mountain Bandits were not weak, but the caravan was clearly stronger. In such a situation, the caravans that still dared to run around were all very strong. Otherwise, they would be swallowed up by others in minutes.

Under the night sky, a bonfire rose in a dense forest. Chen Fei sat cross-legged. The flames danced, illuminating Chen Fei’s face.

Chen Fei was checking the jade scroll of the Great Thunder Sword in his hand.

After a moment, Chen Fei put the jade scroll away again.

The current Chen Fei was still unable to cultivate the Great Thunder Sword, because only the first two levels of the Primordial Sword Scripture were intact, and the third level was incomplete. If Chen Fei were to cultivate the Great Thunder Sword now, without the mediation of the Primordial Sword Scripture, his elemental energy would clash with each other.

At that time, Chen Fei’s strength would decrease, and his acupoints might be damaged. The gains would not make up for the losses.

“If I can refine the Great Thunder Sword, the number of acupoints opened by the three cultivation techniques will reach exactly 100.”

A thought flashed through Chen Fei’s mind. A cultivation technique that could open 100 acupoints was already an extremely rare existence in the aperture tempering realm.

Moreover, the three cultivation techniques complemented each other, and the power of the moves displayed would also be extremely powerful. If the Primordial Sword Sect had such an inheritance, their strength would definitely increase by a lot.

Now, he didn’t know if there was any inheritance of the Primordial Sword Scripture in the Sword Return Tower.

The night wind whistled and was bone-chilling. However, it did not have much of an effect on Chen Fei. Chen Fei stood up and began to cultivate the Slaughter Spirit Technique.

Slash!

Chen Fei used his hand as a sword. His hands turned into shadows and began to slash forward.

If anyone else saw this cultivation method, they would be confused. After all, it was useless to the aperture tempering realm.

However, there was no one else here at the moment. Only the moonlight in the sky accompanied him.

As Chen Fei kept slashing, his comprehension of the Slaughter Spirit Technique kept appearing in his mind. The profundity of the Slaughter Spirit Technique, this move, Chen Fei had long experienced it deeply in recent days.

Thus, Chen Fei had to practice the Slaughter Spirit Technique every day. It had been more than three months since he had perfected the Slaughter Spirit Technique.

In the past three months, Chen Fei had been cultivating diligently, and his proficiency in the Slaughter Spirit Technique had been rising continuously. Especially recently, as his realm was constantly approaching perfection, the frequency of Chen Fei’s cultivation had also become more frequent.

Chen Fei wanted to see if there would be any other changes after cultivating this Spirit Slaughtering Art to great completion.

Time slowly pa.s.sed, and the moon in the sky was covered by clouds. The forest was dark, and only a ball of fire was rising.

A cold aura had unknowingly appeared in the surroundings. It was as if there was a gaze spying on Chen Fei from afar.

Chen Fei’s arms, which were constantly slashing, suddenly paused slightly. Countless comprehensions of the Slaughter Spirit Technique collided in Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness. In the next moment, Chen Fei’s right arm, which had been frozen, slashed forward with a solemn expression.

With this slash, the comprehension that filled Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness suddenly paused. Then, it instantly rotated and turned into the last brick that hit Chen Fei’s mind.

Slaughter Spirit Technique, Great Completion!

A biting cold aura rippled from Chen Fei’s body, turning into ripples that spread out.

In his sea of consciousness, the Mirror Image Technique of the G.o.dslayer Sword flickered slightly. At this moment, with the completion of the Slaughter Spirit Technique, countless inspirations surged out from his mind.

In the next moment, a sword intent flashed past and entered the depths of the forest..
