Cultivation, Going Out

"Lei Ao of Lei Hall, adopted son of Lei Family patriarch Lei Mu, and one of the four great protectors of Lei Hall!"

Su Chen's mind recalled some information about Lei Ao.

Lei Hall was Qingcheng City's undisputed number one power, backed by the Qingcheng Lei Family.

The assassin who tried to kill his cheap father, Su Mengbai, was in Lei Ao's manor.

This indicated that Lei Ao was involved in this matter.

It seemed he needed to visit that manor when he had time.

He might be able to find something out there.

But who had released the news about the Fifth-grade Lotus Platform in the black market?

Su Chen mused, casually tossing Ling Tianhe aside.

Plop!

Ling Tianhe's body landed on the ground.

Cough, cough!

He immediately gasped for air, looking at Su Chen with terror in his eyes.

His mind kept replaying why Su Chen was so strong.

He was only at the middle stage of Xiantian, yet he had no power to fight back against Su Chen.

This made him disbelieve and unwilling to accept it.

However, when he thought of Su Chen's violent expression and cold killing intent just now, his body trembled uncontrollably, and cold sweat streamed down his back.

He quickly suppressed the unwillingness in his heart.

He struggled to stand up, then stood to the side, not daring to make a sound.

"I thought you weren't convinced and were going to attack me again?"

"But Uncle Ling, you should cherish your life. If you attack again, you'll have no value to me!"

"There are many people in this world; one more or one less doesn't make a difference!"

Su Chen said to Ling Tianhe.

"My Lord, your subordinate wouldn't dare!"

Ling Tianhe bowed.

"Wouldn't dare, I hope so!"

Su Chen said calmly.

If Ling Tianhe had any other ideas, he would kill him directly.

The two confrontations had given Su Chen a rush of adrenaline; he quite liked this feeling of violence.

It made him like the martial world even more.

"Have the spies of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower investigate the news of the Fifth-grade Lotus Platform in the black market with all their might. I want to know who released it and whether it's true!"

Su Chen commanded.

"Your subordinate will do it immediately!"

Ling Tianhe said quickly and was about to leave the secret chamber.

"Tidy yourself up. Don't let anyone notice anything unusual!"

Su Chen glanced at Ling Tianhe.

"Your subordinate understands!"

Ling Tianhe immediately began to tidy himself, adjusting his breathing to conceal his injuries as much as possible.

"Where is Lei Ao's manor located?"

Since he knew about it, he naturally had to investigate.

"Outside the city, in the western suburbs, a manor next to Baili Slope."

"You may go."

Knowing the address, Su Chen waved for Ling Tianhe to leave.

After receiving the order, Ling Tianhe pushed open the secret chamber door and walked out, quickly leaving the Su residence.

Su Chen, however, did not immediately leave the secret chamber.

Instead, he cultivated within it.

Even though he had Invincible Divine Blade Bai Tianyu on his side, he still needed his own strength.

His own strength was the foundation.

He couldn't rely entirely on Bai Tianyu.

He adjusted his breathing, suppressing the violent impulse that had just surged through him.

Found a spot that was still intact, sat down cross-legged, and exhaled a mouthful of stale air.

Cleared his mind.

Began to cultivate.

From today's situation, the Vajra Primordial Force, this kind of fierce cultivation method, was very suitable for someone like him with no martial arts experience.

The power of his punches was violent and fierce, and he could suppress his opponent with sheer momentum.

Ling Tianhe cultivated a technique called the Purple Blood Skill.

He was at the mid-stage of Innate, but his explosive Qi energy was inferior to Su Chen's.

Therefore, Su Chen decided to continue cultivating the Vajra Primordial Force.

He would first cultivate the Vajra Primordial Force to the second stage.

Soon.

The Vajra Primordial Force within Su Chen's body began to circulate.

Last night, he had already completed the first three layers by borrowing his innate Qi energy. Now he was cultivating the fourth layer.

When circulating it.

The Qi energy within his body was much more substantial than in the previous three layers. Furthermore, there was a surge of Qi and Blood intertwined within his internal energy, surging towards his flesh and blood, rapidly integrating into it.

And as time passed, this fusion speed increased.

Su Chen himself felt that his flesh and blood had become much stronger.

After a period of time.

Su Chen suddenly felt a sense of hunger.

Although the Vajra Primordial Force contained internal energy, it was also a physical cultivation method, so it consumed a lot of the body's energy.

He took out the Qi and Blood Pills obtained from the lottery. They were ordinary Qi and Blood Pills, with 50 pills in a bottle.

He swallowed them to replenish his Qi and Blood.

After recovering some Qi and Blood, Su Chen got up, tidied his clothes, and walked out of the secret chamber.

Outside the secret chamber.

Steward Fu was pacing back and forth.

Ling Tianhe had come out, but Su Chen had not. He wanted to enter the secret chamber, but the door was locked from the inside.

So he could only wait here.

Seeing Su Chen emerge from the secret chamber, Steward Fu immediately stepped forward: "Young Master, are you alright!"

"I'm fine. Prepare some food for me, preferably meat. Cultivation consumed quite a bit!"

Su Chen said.

Hearing Su Chen's words, Steward Fu's expression froze.

He had thought Su Chen was thinking in the secret chamber or hiding inside for safety.

He hadn't expected Su Chen to be cultivating in the secret chamber.

"Is there a problem?"

Seeing the stunned Steward Fu, Su Chen couldn't help but ask.

"No, I'll prepare it for you immediately, Young Master!"

Steward Fu immediately went to make arrangements.

Su Chen glanced at the sky outside.

It was estimated to be around 1 PM. He had only handled some matters in the morning and had been cultivating afterward.

He hadn't expected so much time to have passed.

"After eating, I'll go to the market to buy some Qi and Blood Pills."

Su Chen thought to himself.

He consumed a lot of Qi and Blood Pills when cultivating the Vajra Primordial Force now.

The two bottles he got from the lottery wouldn't last long, so he planned to go out and buy some.

Originally, he could have asked Steward Fu to prepare some Qi and Blood related pills for cultivation.

But he still didn't trust Steward Fu.

He was afraid the steward might tamper with the pills.

With his current ability, he couldn't discern if the pills had been tampered with, so he planned to buy them himself.

Of course, he would also take the opportunity to stroll through the streets of Qingcheng City.

As for how to leave, to avoid anyone knowing he was going out.

Su Chen planned to leave through the secret passage within the secret chamber.

Soon, Su Chen finished his meal. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, then stood up and said to Steward Fu beside him, "Steward Fu, I'll continue cultivating this afternoon. Don't disturb me while I'm cultivating."

Hearing that Su Chen wanted to continue cultivating, Steward Fu was a little surprised.

He opened his mouth and said, "Young Master, martial cultivation isn't something that can be completed in a short time. In fact, Young Master, you could visit Madam more often."

Hearing Steward Fu's words, Su Chen's body paused slightly.

The meaning behind Steward Fu's words was very clear.

He wanted Su Chen to seek help from the Second Madam in the backyard.

"I will when the time comes. Thank you for the reminder, Steward Fu!"

Su Chen nodded. Judging from his current actions, Steward Fu likely meant him no harm.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have reminded him.

After entering the secret chamber.

Su Chen found a plain hemp robe he had prepared earlier from his spatial ring and put it on. He then slightly altered his appearance, put on a cloak, and left.

The entrance to the secret chamber's passage was inside a dilapidated abandoned house.

Su Chen surveyed his surroundings. Finding no one, he exited the passage.

This was a slum in Qingcheng City.

Broken houses were everywhere, along with the noisy sounds from the alleyways.

Su Chen didn't linger here for long and headed towards the most prosperous street in Qingcheng City.

On the way, Su Chen also bought a loose black cloak.

This was better than his previous simple black clothes for concealing his figure.

After all, he had many things to do recently and needed to hide his appearance.

He didn't want anyone to identify him by his figure.
