Strike Hard, Leave No Trace

Feeling the powerful spiritual energy within the Green Ox Sword, Chen Wang couldn't help but marvel.

Wang Yue, who was on the other side, was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. "Law Treasure? You really dare to dream of such a thing."

"This is a Low Grade Spirit Tool, which I crafted when I was young."

"Besides, even if I gave you the Law Treasure, would you be able to use it?"

Wang Yue said irritably.

Spirit Artifact are far more powerful than Law Artifact. When Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator uses Spirit Artifact, it becomes Law Treasure in the eyes of ordinary cultivators.

In reality, only cultivators with Golden Core artifacts can use true Law Treasure.

Chen Wang smiled and said, "Brother Wang, you're really generous."

This Green Ox Sword is far more powerful than the Show Overlord Sword and Golden Wind Sword in his hands.

With just a slight sense, one can tell that its power is astonishing.

Wang Yue waved his hand. "This sword has been refined by me. It won't be too difficult for you to use. It can be used as a defensive treasure, and it can help you escape in a critical moment."

Chen Wang's eyes lit up. "With this sword, I can Sword Flight?"

Wang Yue said, "That's natural. Be more careful in the future. Don't show this sword to others. You haven't Foundation Establishment yet, so you can't unleash even a fraction of the power of Spirit Artifact. In terms of attack power, it's only comparable to Top Grade Magic Tool."

Chen Wang nodded.

Wang Yue said, "If someone attacks you, you either don't move, or if you do, you must kill them. You must be ruthless and clean."

Do you understand?

Chen Wang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I understand."

Wang Yue said, "I hope you truly understand. If someone with ulterior motives sees this Green Ox Sword, they will surely kill and steal it. I don't want this sword to become the cause of your death."

Chen Wang nodded, his expression solemn. "Don't worry, Brother Wang, I won't let you down."

Wang Yue grinned and said, "You're quite clever, kid. Even if I told you to call me that, an ordinary cultivator wouldn't dare."

Chen Wang said in a serious tone, "Brother Wang is generous and unrestrained, which is admirable. He lives a carefree life in the mortal world and is a true immortal!"

Wang Yue was taken aback, then burst into laughter. "What a fine description of a true immortal!"

He found Chen Wang increasingly pleasing to the eye.

This young man is very smart and doesn't act rashly.

The key is that he speaks pleasantly and is quite interesting.

Wang Yue presented the Green Ox Sword to Chen Wang, then waved his hand and said, "Get to know this sword better. It may seem unassuming, but you need to be skilled at using it, otherwise you'll feel rusty when you use it."

His thoughts coincided with Chen Wang's, and Chen Wang smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Chen Wang left with the Green Ox Sword and returned to the courtyard of his residence. He carefully examined the sword. The sword exuded a chilling aura that seemed to reach right up to his eyebrows. Its blade was like a pool of Autumn Water, and it was incomparably sharp.

"A fine sword!"

"Old Wang is not stingy at all; he is indeed quite generous."

Chen Wang sighed.

He took up the sword, and although he found it a little difficult at first, he soon became proficient in using it.

Holding the Green Ox Sword, Chen Wang soared through the air, Sword Flight without consuming too much Law Power.

Chen Wang originally had a flying sword, but it didn't fly very high or very fast. Later, it was shattered by that bastard Wang Changjing with his Golden Light Sword.

But this Green Ox Sword is different; it is extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Wang flew a great distance, nearly losing control and crashing into a tree. "Damn, so fast!"

This Green Ox Sword accelerates quickly, is fast, and consumes little Law Power.

The images on both sides kept rewinding, and in the blink of an eye they flew far away.

Chen Wang immediately turned around, nearly crashing into the mountainside again.

After several attempts, he finally managed to grasp the method of flying.

"Joining the Red Cloud Sect seems to be a wise move," Chen Wang thought.

The speed of Sword Flight is extremely fast. If it encounters Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, it is estimated that they would not be able to subdue him in a short time.

"It is indeed a life-saving item."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

However, controlling it for a long time was a bit mentally taxing, so he put the sword away.

"The Law Power during the Qi Refining stage is gaseous, making it very difficult to activate such a Spirit Artifact. Once you reach the Foundation Establishment, your Law Power becomes liquid, which not only makes your Law Technique more powerful but also has many other wonderful uses."

Chen Wang's desire to Foundation Establishment grew increasingly urgent.

He is now at the Qi Refining Stage 9 and wants to perfectly Foundation Establishment. Therefore, he plans to raise his entire power to its peak and has been taking spirit medicine.

"Old Wang is a good person; you can ask him for advice on Foundation Establishment."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

He took out the pill and swallowed it. His spiritual power continued to grow stronger. The power in his dantian, which was initially as thin as a hair, had now grown much thicker, about the thickness of a finger.

This is a column of air.

After refining the elixir and circulating his energy throughout his body, Chen Wang went to Wang Yue to inquire about the Foundation Establishment process.

Wang Yue was taken aback. "Why are you asking about this?"

It is difficult to discern a cultivator's cultivation level at a glance when they do not use their Law Power.

Chen Wang said, "Let's learn about the Foundation Establishment process, since it's so dangerous."

Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized. "What is your cultivation level now?"

Chen Wang said, "Qi Refining Stage 9."

There were only the two of them in the mountains, and they would often have to work together in the fields, using some Law Technique to get rid of pests. In addition, Old Wang was a good person, so Chen Wang decided to tell him about it.

Wang Yue was taken aback at first, then laughed and scolded, "Well, you've been hiding your true strength!"

Reaching the Qi Refining Stage 9 at this age is already quite impressive! Chen Wang was previously a rogue cultivator with limited resources, and he wasn't a member of Lineage or a sect like the Red Cloud Sect that provided dedicated training.

However, Wang Yue did not ask Chen Wang why he had such cultivation. He smiled and said, "No wonder you came to ask about Foundation Establishment."

He then told Chen Wang about some things related to Foundation Establishment, as well as some precautions. Su Jie was a talented player and had undergone some training, but she didn't know as much as Wang Yue.

Some of Wang Yue's theories are insightful yet easy to understand.

"The Law Power we usually talk about actually refers to the power after the Foundation Establishment. When you look inward at your dantian, you will see a droplet-shaped power instead of the current wisps or columns of energy."

Chen Wang nodded. Wang Yue's explanation was very simple, without any obscure terminology.

Wang Yue continued, "Therefore, the most difficult step is actually Qi Refining into Liquid. When you look inward and see the first drop of spiritual liquid, that is your foundation."

"You haven't successfully Foundation Establishment yet because this amount of Law Power is far too weak. You need to condense at least nine drops to stabilize it and avoid failing at the last minute."

"This sounds simple, but the process is actually very dangerous. The power flow is also very delicate, and there is no room for error. Therefore, it is easy for accidents to happen at this time, with the Law Power dissipating and becoming disordered, which can damage a person's meridians."

Wang Yue spoke eloquently.

After asking some questions, Chen Wang gained a better understanding of some precautions for Foundation Establishment.

Wang Yue said, "Some people are born with strong physique and vigorous Qi and Blood, while others are born with strong souls. Some special people have very strong souls even without cultivation. Such people have an advantage when they are Foundation Establishment. With a little guidance, they can use their Divine Sense, although it is an extremely weak Divine Sense."

"Is Divine Sense useful for Foundation Establishment?" Chen Wang asked.

"Theoretically, yes. The stronger your Divine Sense, the clearer you see, and the stronger your control, the higher your success rate."

"However, those in the Qi Refining stage can hardly use their Divine Sense. At most, they can only introspect themselves, and even then, they can't see very clearly. That's why I say it's theoretical," Wang Yue said.

Chen Wang nodded. Wasn't he just someone with a powerful Divine Sense?

"How far can the Divine Sense of the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator cover?" Chen Wang asked.

Wang Yue was taken aback. "You mean to explore outside the body?"

" In the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, it is about thirty feet."

Chen Wang nodded. "I see."

His current limit for mental detection range is forty feet.

"In other words, my current level of Divine Sense is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, or even stronger," Chen Wang thought to himself.

After chatting with Wang Yue for a while, Wang Yue was clearly not very interested in cultivation. He yawned and said, "Is there anything else you want to ask? If not, I'm going to take a nap."

His life was very regular; he worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and even took a nap at noon.

"..." Chen Wang's lips twitched, and he shook his head. "It's nothing."

Wang Yue suddenly remembered something and reminded him, "By the way, don't rush to Foundation Establishment without Foundation Establishment Pill. It's very dangerous. Foundation Establishment Pill are used to stabilize your Law Power and make it easier for your body to Qi Refining into Liquid."

Chen Wang nodded. "I understand."

After Chen Wang left, Wang Yue lay down on his side on the bed.

"This young fellow is not bad; he's been hiding some of his cultivation."

A peak Qi Refining expert, he is also one of the best among the younger generation of the Red Cloud Sect.

Wang Yue stroked his chin. "It's just that the quota for Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely limited, everyone's eyeing them, and those things are very hard to get."

A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

Although he didn't care much about his disciple's cultivation level, he considered Chen Wang a decent younger brother.

Moreover, given that one's cultivation level has reached this point, it would be a real shame not to have Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, once one gets older, the effects of the Foundation Establishment Pill will be greatly reduced.

Chen Wang's age is perfect.

"That's not right. If I hadn't asked him earlier, this kid wouldn't have mentioned the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Did he find out from someone else, or... does this kid have it himself?"

Wang Yue thought to himself.

Several days later,

The Purple Forest Secret Realm has come to a complete end, and many disciples have withdrawn.

Each family gained something, including the core materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pill, as well as other spirit medicine resources.

However, with the return of these young disciples and independent cultivators, the situation did not become easier; instead, it became somewhat tense.

In secret realms, competing for resources is commonplace, and killing to steal treasures is the norm, inevitably leading to grudges between different factions.

The people from Dragon Head Mountain also sent people in, but in order to show that they were mediating the matter and not for the resources of the Purple Forest Secret Realm, they only sent two people in, a man and a woman. The man was in his twenties, extremely handsome, and liked to wear white.

The girl was fifteen or sixteen years old and looked harmless.

The two emerged unscathed and even obtained materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pill, yet they didn't display any particularly impressive achievements.

I don't know if they were too ruthless, leaving no survivors.

I was just too lucky; I didn't encounter any real opponents.

In addition, all sides suffered losses, and every time this happens, it is a bloody battle, with deaths and injuries being inevitable.

However, apart from sacrificing manpower, we still gained a lot of material resources, so it can be considered a mixed bag.

On the surface, Red Cloud Sect Market remains calm.

During this time, Chen Wang stayed on Green Bamboo Peak to cultivate. When there was work to be done, he would work in the fields. When there was no work, he would meditate and practice breathing exercises. Occasionally, he would drink with Old Wang. He lived a rather leisurely life.

He killed Wang Changjing and the Profound Yin Sect members, but now he's holed up on Green Bamboo Peak and hasn't been affected much.

However, many disciples did not envy him; it was a consensus that one could not make a name for oneself on Green Bamboo Peak.

That Wang Zhenren acted very strangely, giving the impression of returning to one's true nature and seeing through the illusions of the world.

The Green Bamboo Peak lineage doesn't interact much with the outside world; they're quite reclusive.

Therefore, Chen Wang did not encounter any bullying incidents or anyone jumping out to call him a piece of trash.

With no one around on Green Bamboo Peak, and the master and disciple being rather reclusive, there were indeed far fewer disturbances.

In a secluded spot, there Feng Qi deacon of the Profound Yin Sect, and Flower Immortal wearing a mask. In addition to the two of them, there was a middle-aged man carrying a long sword, with a handsome face and extraordinary bearing.

Feng Qi said calmly, "This matter has dragged on for so long, it's time for an explanation. The Red Cloud Sect must be eradicated!"

The Flower Immortal's laughter was like silver bells as she giggled, "It should have been done long ago. Stop with the underhanded tactics and just charge in."

The middle-aged man carrying a long sword calmly smiled and said, "Killing people is easy. The problem is, who will deal with that Old Ancestor of the Red Cloud Sect? What's the use of killing all the Red Cloud Sect Disciple if we don't deal with him?"

Feng Qi said, "You don't need to worry about that. Someone will take care of it."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I also said last time that we didn't need to get involved, but what happened? The Red Cloud Sect also found help, and the attitude of Dragon Head Mountain is ambiguous. If a fight really breaks out, everyone will suffer heavy casualties. If things go wrong and they want to withdraw, who can bear the wrath of that Old Ancestor?"

Feng Qi squinted and smiled, "If we fail to do our job well, who will bear the wrath of my Profound Yin Sect?"

His words carried a threatening undertone.

The middle-aged man didn't care and said calmly, "Either don't do it at all, or do it well. Each family is acting as a pawn. Do you think we can't even know who is going to deal with the Red Cloud Sect's Old Ancestor?"

Flower Immortal chimed in from the side, "That's right, I think what she said makes a lot of sense."

Feng Qi glanced at her, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "My Copper Corpse Old Ancestor and Ghost Daoist will join forces to suppress this person. He is already at his limit and is nothing to fear."

Both of them were renowned experts at the Golden Core Stage.

After Feng Qi finished speaking, he looked at the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man did not speak and his expression was extremely calm.

Feng Qi looked at him. "How is it?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Very well, I have no ulterior motives, I was just offering a suggestion."

This man's attitude was unpredictable; after he left, Feng Qi could barely suppress the anger in his eyes.

The Flower Immortal chuckled and said, "You're still so Qi Ingestion by him."

Feng Qi coldly replied, "My cultivation level is roughly equal to his, so why should I Qi Ingestion?"

Flower Immortal Laughing Island: "Equally matched? That's a lot of talk..."

Before she could finish speaking, Feng Qi frowned and looked at her with a cold gaze. Flower Immortal wasn't one to back down from a fight, but she simply smiled.

"Don't be angry, if you say they're evenly matched, then they're evenly matched."

Feng Qi stood up, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Last time I asked you to assassinate Mu Zhenren, but you only managed to throw him into a daze. What do you have to say about that?"

Mu Zhenren was the disheveled man Chen Wang saw who had killed countless people. He stood on a treetop, looking like a madman, before disappearing into the sky.

The Flower Immortal, with her graceful figure, walked towards Feng Qi and said with a smile, "His cultivation Cultivation Method is very good at recovery. It's already quite good that it only damaged his mind. What, do you still want to interrogate him?"

Her tone was unfriendly.

For a moment, the two were on the verge of exchanging blows.
