Heaven and Earth Treasures

Sevenfold Waves of One Sword!

With Su Chen's Ninth Layer of Qi-Attraction Realm strength, combined with the Layered Wave Slash at the Sevenfold Waves level, killing even a Ninth Layer of Qi-Attraction Realm demonic beast would have been no problem, let alone four Eighth Layer of Qi-Attraction Realm martial artists. It was like using a butcher's cleaver to kill a chicken.

With one slash, the four Iron Garb Sect martial artists at the Eighth Layer of Qi-Attraction Realm had not even the slightest ability to resist before every one of them was beheaded!

One sword killed four men! ??

The three young men who had witnessed everything from the side could not help staring with their mouths agape. These four Iron Garb Sect martial artists at the Eighth Layer of Qi-Attraction Realm were no weaklings; one was even at the Peak of the Eighth Layer of Qi-Attraction Realm. Yet all four had been instantly killed by Su Chen with a single sword strike!

"This youth is even younger than us, yet he already possesses such terrifying strength!" Shock filled the three young men's eyes, and the way they looked at Su Chen changed completely.

Su Chen ignored them. Instead, he used his longsword to lift open the collars of the six Iron Garb Sect corpses and took out everything valuable on them.

There was not much of value, really. There were only a few scattered silver notes totaling several hundred taels, along with some healing pills.

Su Chen naturally did not stand on ceremony and stuffed everything straight into his pocket.

The three young men exchanged glances. One of them, a young man in his twenties who appeared to be their leader, walked toward Su Chen and said, "Little brother, thank you for saving us just now. Where are you from?"

"Clear River City," Su Chen said.

"So you're from Clear River City. We're from Yellowstone City, members of the He Family of Yellowstone City," the young man introduced himself.

Su Chen naturally knew of Yellowstone City. Like Clear River City, it was one of the five major cities under Anyang Commandery's jurisdiction.

However, Yellowstone City was farther from the Rising Sun Mountains. These three must have traveled quite a long way to reach the Rising Sun Mountains from Yellowstone City.

Seeing Su Chen's expression, the young man explained, "We came all the way from Yellowstone City to train in the Rising Sun Mountains. This morning, we found two Jade Wonder Fruits in a cave. We had just picked them when we ran into those Iron Garb Sect people."

"The Iron Garb Sect people insisted that we had stolen their Jade Wonder Fruits. Not only did they demand that we hand over the fruits, they also wanted to kill us. We fled all the way until we ran into you."

"So that's what happened. You found Jade Wonder Fruits?" Su Chen's expression shifted, and he was somewhat surprised.

Deep in the mountains, certain plants absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth year after year. Over time, they became precious heavenly treasures. Such treasures contained vast amounts of spiritual energy and were far more valuable than ordinary medicinal herbs. They were also exceedingly rare and difficult to find.

Jade Wonder Fruit was one of them. When a Qi-Attraction Realm martial artist consumed one, it could rapidly raise their cultivation by a great deal. Moreover, these treasures of heaven and earth differed from pills. Taking pills continuously would bring side effects and allow pill toxins to accumulate within the body, whereas heavenly treasures had no such drawback at all.

It was precisely because Su Chen knew how precious Jade Wonder Fruits were that he was surprised by the good fortune of these three.

The young man untied a cloth pouch from his waist and carefully opened it, revealing two jade-green fruits inside. Their shapes were plump, their colors vivid, and they gave off an alluring fragrance. They were indeed Jade Wonder Fruits.

Looking at the Jade Wonder Fruits, the young man's face showed a trace of heartache. He gritted his teeth, but still seemed to make up his mind as he said, "Little brother, you saved us, and we have nothing to repay you with. We'll give you these two Jade Wonder Fruits."

Su Chen was also somewhat surprised by those words. He could not help examining the young man anew as he asked, "You want to give both Jade Wonder Fruits to me?"

The young man gritted his teeth and nodded. "The ancestral teaching of our He Family is that a kindness received must be repaid with a gushing spring. What's more, you saved our lives. What could be more precious than life itself? Compared with our lives, two Jade Wonder Fruits are nothing."

As he spoke, the young man looked back at his other two companions and said, "My two younger brothers should support my decision as well."

The other two also nodded, showing their support.

"Little brother, take them quickly. Those Iron Garb Sect people said there were others from the Iron Garb Sect nearby. We must leave this place as soon as possible, lest they catch up to us."

As he spoke, the young man directly stuffed the cloth pouch into Su Chen's hand.

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen took one of the Jade Wonder Fruits from the pouch and tossed it back to the young man.

At this, the young man and his two companions all revealed looks of surprise.

"You discovered the Jade Wonder Fruits. Though I saved you, I cannot keep them all for myself. I'll take half," Su Chen said with a smile. One Jade Wonder Fruit for himself and one for the three of them was fair enough.

Besides, Jade Wonder Fruits only worked when one ate the first fruit. Eating more afterward would have almost no effect.

"Many thanks." The young man did not refuse again. After thanking him, he accepted the Jade Wonder Fruit, then said anxiously, "We must leave here quickly. According to what those Iron Garb Sect people said, their so-called young sect master is also nearby. It will be troublesome if they catch up to us."

Su Chen remained calm. "I was the one who killed the Iron Garb Sect people. If they want revenge, they will come for me. As long as you do not travel in the same direction as me and leave the Rising Sun Mountains as soon as possible, you should be fine."

"But what about you..." the young man said.

"Leave quickly! As you just said, there are still Iron Garb Sect people nearby. They may already be getting closer and closer to this place," Su Chen said.

The young man had no choice but to cup his fists toward Su Chen before quickly leaving with the other two.

"I should get going too."

Su Chen muttered to himself. He still had to find the location marked on the map.

Before leaving, however, Su Chen had to consume the Jade Wonder Fruit first.

Once such a treasure of heaven and earth was picked, the spiritual energy within it would rapidly dissipate with time. Thus, consuming it as soon as possible was the best choice.

Of course, using special containers to store heavenly treasures could also slow the loss of spiritual energy. However, no method was as good as consuming them on the spot, which ensured the least possible waste.

Su Chen found a relatively concealed thicket, took out the Jade Wonder Fruit, and began chewing it. The fruit was crisp and juicy, with a natural fragrance. As he swallowed it, a faint warmth spread through his throat, leaving him pleasantly warm and comfortable.

Once the fruit had completely entered his stomach, that warmth exploded within it. The sensation resembled taking a pill, yet its medicinal power was far gentler, like spring wind and rain nourishing all things. It flowed through his limbs and bones, nourishing his flesh, blood, and skeleton.

Seizing the opportunity, Su Chen began circulating the Chaos Immortal Record, unconditionally absorbing the spiritual energy within the Jade Wonder Fruit and converting all of it into true qi within his dantian.

His cultivation immediately began soaring at an inconceivable speed.
