A New Path

Chen San Ye's thoughts, while Chen Xuan didn't know them at this moment, he could guess a bit. At first, he was conflicted about whether to go hunt the fierce tiger.

It must be said, the temptation Chen San Ye offered was truly significant. Money, hints about the Martial Path and Martial Halls, and even a Strong Bow. If it were an ordinary mountain village youth, they would have been easily swayed.

But Chen Xuan wasn't.

As a transmigrator, he naturally thought more than an ordinary mountain village youth, not to mention he had a Conceptual Ability.

Some of Chen San Ye's temptations weren't a big deal to him.

The only thing that could attract him was money.

He needed a sum of money to secure a stable foothold for his family in Green Mountain City.

But it was just an attraction.

For him, who possessed a Conceptual Ability, there were other ways to acquire wealth besides just Chen San Ye. Upon arriving in Green Mountain City, he might not necessarily be unable to settle down.

This naturally led to conflict.

Of course, within this conflict, if not for other changes, Chen Xuan would have truly considered going to hunt a fierce tiger for Chen San Ye to try.

After all, one fierce tiger would not only cover the cost of his family entering the city but also ensure his mother and younger brother could settle down, avoiding the need to consider other options.

Although a fierce tiger was dangerous, with his Conceptual Ability, ensuring a safe hunt for one wasn't a big problem.

But the key was that Chen Xuan, through continuous attempts, discovered something different.

His gaze involuntarily fell upon the Conceptual Ability.

Target: Head to Green Mountain City, complete family settlement (To be confirmed)

Setting complete

"Loading!"

"Loading successful!"

"Path One: Your departure will inevitably lead to Chen San Ye ambushing you. Kill Chen San Ye, carry one hundred taels of silver, arrive at Green Mountain City, and you can purchase a residence in the West City of Green Mountain City."

"Path Two: The West City Pharmacy in Green Mountain City is recruiting Herb Gathering Boys. Arrive within three days and you can become a Herb Gathering Boy at the West City Pharmacy. With your Skin Refining realm, you will be allocated a house to settle your family."

"Path Three: The City Lord's Mansion Guard is recruiting members. Join the City Lord's Mansion Guard, and the City Lord's Mansion will allocate housing for settlement."

"Path Four: Carry the Tiger Heart, arrive at the Overlord Blade Martial Hall seven days later, and the Overlord Blade Hall Master will agree to let you cultivate in the Martial Hall for one year, teaching you the Blood Refining method, and you can settle your family!"

Line after line of text appeared. Chen Xuan looked at the first line and couldn't help but sigh.

This was already his twentieth attempt.

However, in all twenty attempts, Chen San Ye would ambush him.

The reason: for the Tiger Heart, and for the money he was giving him.

It was precisely because of this result that his original conflict completely disappeared.

Continuing to help Chen San Ye hunt tigers was impossible.

Fortunately, among these paths, there was an even more crucial one.

That was the fourth path.

Compared to Chen San Ye's hundred taels, this path four was undoubtedly much more enticing.

Joining a Martial Hall goes without saying, but a Blood Refining Manual was extremely important to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan had been constantly trying during this period, continuously adding settings to the system, wanting to try and create a Blood Refining Manual just like Skin Refining. However, he didn't know if it was because he knew too little, or for some other reason, he still couldn't figure out how to refine blood.

Chen Xuan didn't know the reason yet, but it was clear he needed to try.

The best way was to obtain a Blood Refining Manual.

And path four could not only settle his family but also obtain a Blood Refining Manual. The choice was obvious.

"Chen San Ye!"

His thoughts flowed, and a soft voice sounded. A cold glint flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes.

But he quickly suppressed it. For him, Chen San Ye's matter was not something he needed to consider now.

His gaze fell on the bow and arrow in his hand.

"Five days!"

"I wonder if my archery can reach mastery in five days!"

He murmured softly, and Chen Xuan couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

With the continuous practice these past few days, he could clearly feel his archery skills constantly improving.

However, this improvement was still clearly some distance away from the mastery he understood.

Shaking his head, Chen Xuan withdrew his thoughts.

He wouldn't bother with it for now.

After all, this wasn't a point allocation system, and he couldn't force his archery skills. He could only slowly wait for the results.

As for hunting the fierce tiger.

He planned to set off after five days.

After all, the Overlord Blade Martial Hall was seven days away.

Starting the hunt after five days was just the right time.

And time slowly flowed by, minute by minute, second by second.

The following days were undoubtedly extremely agonizing for Chen San Ye.

He even felt a bit restless.

In the room.

Chen San Ye paced back and forth.

A servant stood respectfully beside him.

"That kid doesn't want to go up the mountain, do you have any ideas?"

Chen San Ye's gaze fell upon the attending servant, and he asked with a frown.

"Master, should we inform the Young Master directly!"

Hearing Chen San Ye's question, the servant spoke with a cold glint in his eyes.

"Chuan'er!"

Chen San Ye frowned slightly.

"Master, the Young Master can't wait much longer. We might as well go all out and have the bandits directly kidnap that kid's mother and brother, making him exchange them for the Tiger and Leopard. Would that kid still dare not come up the mountain? There are many bandits these days, and a little accident is quite normal."

The servant's eyes gleamed with a cold light as he spoke in a chilling voice.

Perhaps others didn't know, but as Chen San Ye's servant, he knew that Chen San Ye's eldest son had become a bandit.

In recent years, the most important reason Chen San Ye could afford to support his younger son's martial arts training was this.

His eldest son becoming a bandit had almost monopolized the trade route from the entire Small River Village to Green Mountain City.

It was fine if the villagers didn't carry anything, but if they did, they would inevitably be robbed, and they might even lose their lives.

Over time, this entire road was naturally controlled by Chen San Ye.

Although Small River Village was backward, its annual output was considerable, especially the things from the mountains. Whether it was medicinal herbs or prey, they were enough to exchange for a lot of money and food.

Only then could Chen San Ye afford his younger son's martial arts training at Fierce Mountain Hall.

This was also the main reason he hadn't entered the city all this time.

"Let's wait a little longer!"

"Wait a few more days. If that kid still doesn't come up the mountain, don't blame this old man for being impolite!"

Listening to the servant's words, Chen San Ye's heart stirred, but he quickly suppressed it.

This was ultimately a last resort, and he didn't plan to do it unless absolutely necessary. After all, bandits on the road were one thing, but directly rushing into the village to kidnap people and specifically demanding the Tiger and Leopard, this situation looked strange no matter how you viewed it.

No one was a fool.

The connection to him was simply too great.

Before he was sure he could leave this place, doing this would undoubtedly cut off his future foundation.

For him at the moment, this was all harm and no benefit.

"Yes!"

The servant nodded.
