Chapter 147: Sword Intent

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

An hour later, Feng Xiupu appeared at the headquarters of the Alliance.

“Master!”

Chen Fei looked at Feng Xiupu with some surprise. It had been two days, and Feng Xiupu finally received the message and came. Chen Fei took out the Origin Awakening Pill from his pocket and handed it directly to Feng Xiupu.

Feng Xiupu glanced at Chen Fei, then at the Origin Awakening Pill, feeling a sense of unreality.

The Alchemist Alliance had a mission that rewarded the Origin Awakening Pill. Feng Xiupu had heard about it before, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. Not because he didn’t care but because Feng Xiupu knew that no matter what happened to the pill, it would never end up in his hands.

Over the years, his cultivation had declined, and Feng Xiupu seemed to have become accustomed to it. Only occasionally, when he dreamed of that battle, did Feng Xiupu realize that he was now only at the Visceral Tempering realm.

Even when using his old companion, the Green Ridge Sword, Feng Xiupu had to be cautious, fearing that it would exacerbate his injuries.

Feng Xiupu hesitated for a moment as he looked at the Origin Awakening Pill, then reached out and took it.

A day later, a sword intent soared into the sky from the backyard of the Alchemist Alliance, shaking everyone within a few hundred meters.

The sword intent lingered in the air for a moment before slowly dissipating.

Upon seeing this scene, those who had been paying attention to the Origin Awakening Pill couldn’t help but sigh. Obviously, the Origin Awakening Pill had found its intended owner, and they were no longer able to scheme for it.

Zeng Guanwen looked at the sword intent with envy. Feng Xiupu’s foundation was truly powerful. With the Origin Awakening Pill healing his injuries, Feng Xiupu had directly returned to the Aperture Tempering realm.

Given time, Feng Xiupu could easily recover his peak state. He might even have a great chance of advancing further in the future.

To rise from the ashes is not something everyone can achieve.

Zeng Jingan gritted his teeth tightly. The Origin Awakening Pill was clearly so close to him, and his father could have regained his strength. Yet, Chen Fei had given the Origin Awakening Pill to Feng Xiupu.

“This matter is not over!”

Zeng Jingan’s face darkened. He had heard that Chen Fei would enter the Four Sects’ Mystic Realm, and coincidentally, Zeng Jingan would also enter because he had passed the sect’s temperament test and was a true disciple of the Primordial Sword Sect.

Half a day later, Feng Xiupu returned to the Primordial Sword Sect, while Chen Fei remained in the Alchemist Alliance.

To prevent impulsive individuals, Chen Fei decided to stay in the Alliance until the opening of the Four Sects’ Mystic Realm, avoiding any disturbances in his cultivation.

“That kid still hasn’t come out?’

“He’s still hiding in the Alchemist Alliance and won’t come out.”

“Fucker, how can he hide so well when there’s so much heat!”

“Forget it, let’s go. It’s not worth it to keep fighting.”

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

Some people cursed loudly when they found out that Chen Fei was still staying in the Alchemist Alliance, but in the end, they reluctantly left.

Alchemy and earning money became the main focus of Chen Fei’s days, but he also found more time for cultivation.

In addition to the newly fused Thousand Thread Technique, before Feng Xiupu left, he gave Chen Fei a new cultivation technique called Divine Refinement Chant.

“This is a technique from the Zeng family.” Feng Xiupu had already learned about the Zeng family’s plot, and the Zeng family needed to give Feng Xiupu an explanation for this.

Feng Xiupu had never practiced the Divine Refinement Chant himself, so he couldn’t teach Chen Fei much about it. However, Chen Fei spent more than an hour contemplating it and managed to record it in the interface.

Because the technique was somewhat special, Chen Fei didn’t integrate it into his other cultivation techniques but simplified it separately.

The money in Chen Fei’s wallet quickly depleted, and he finally understood the true meaning of this cultivation technique.

Although it was named Divine Refinement Chant, it was more about replenishing the spirit and cultivating internal energy. But as his proficiency increased, Chen Fei discovered that the Divine Refinement Chant greatly enhanced his mental power’s explosive force.

The speed of Chen Fei’s internal energy cultivation once again increased. With the help of the Fifth Layer of the Origin Connection Technique and the Divine Refinement Chant, Chen Fei’s cultivation of internal energy progressed at an astonishing speed.

Originally, Chen Fei estimated that it would take about a year to break through to the Visceral Tempering realm. But now, it seemed that it was possible to achieve it in seven or eight months, and as the proficiency of the Divine Refinement Chant increased, the time could be further shortened.

Alchemy, cultivation, and soaking in hot springs became Chen Fei’s repetitive daily routine, but he enjoyed it. Nothing made him happier than seeing his own progress every day.

Qin Jinglan occasionally found time to visit Chen Fei. Chatting with him made

Qin Jinglan happy for the whole day. This became Chen Fei’s only solace.

Ten days flew by, and the trial for the disciples of the Four Sects was approaching. Chen Fei left the Alchemist Alliance and returned to the Primordial Sword Sect.

The first layer of the Thousand Thread Technique had reached perfection, and Chen Fei was currently practicing the second layer. His control over his mental power became more refined, and he could even roughly mold it into threads.

The Divine Refinement Chant reached the level of mastery and was on the verge of perfection. Chen Fei’s cultivation speed of internal energy further increased, and his mental power had gained a certain explosive force.

The most obvious characteristic was that the power of Eternity Moment seemed to have increased significanly.

The Suppressing Dragon Elephant was still at the level of mastery, and a little over ten days was not enough time for it to truly advance to the next stage. Nevertheless, with every bit of experience added to the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, Chen Fei could feel the bestowal of power.

Compared to when the Suppressing Dragon Elephant had just reached the mastery level, Chen Fei felt that his strength had increased by about twenty percent, which was a quite significant improvement.

Chen Fei was very satisfied. He looked forward to the moment when the Suppressing Dragon Elephant truly reached Great Completion, wondering what changes he would undergo.

Chen Fei arrived at a weapon shop where the atmosphere was lively, with the continuous sound of forging blades.

“Customer, what do you need?” The shopkeeper looked at Chen Fei with a smile on his face.

“A strong bow,” Chen Fei spoke up.

With the trial approaching, Chen Fei needed to make all the necessary preparations, and a powerful bow was something he had been wanting to exchange for.

“Please come this way, customer.”

The shopkeeper’s eyes brightened, and he quickly led Chen Fei into the shop. Forging a bow and arrow was not easy, and the better the bow, the higher the price. The shop indeed had several strong bows in stock.

“Customer, how about this bow and arrow?” The shopkeeper led Chen Fei to a wall covered with bows and arrows and took one down.

Chen Fei looked at the bow in his hand. It had simple engravings on its surface. Holding the bow with his left hand and pulling the string with his hand, Chen Fei effortlessly drew the bow into a full moon shape.

“It’s too light.” Chen Fei returned the bow and shook his head.

This bow would have been just right if it had been right after Chen Fei’s breakthrough to the Marrow Tempering realm. However, after more than a month had passed, the bow had become too light for Chen Fei.

The shopkeeper looked slightly surprised as he glanced at Chen Fei. He had sensed Chen Fei’s aura and thought the bow would be sufficient, but he hadn’t expected Chen Fei to easily draw it.

Is it innate divine power?

“What about this one?”

The shopkeeper changed to another bow and handed it to Chen Fei.

Again, without any effort, Chen Fei effortlessly drew the bow into a full moon shape.

The shopkeeper’s eyes widened slightly. This bow should be sufficient for a cultivator at the Visceral Tempering realm, but Chen Fei had effortlessly drawn it. It was truly astonishing.

Without Chen Fei saying anything, the shopkeeper quickly took down another bow from the wall. This repetition was a blow to his credibility, and it seemed like his judgment was flawed.

Chen Fei received the third bow handed to him by the shopkeeper, and as soon as he held it, he felt its weight, which was quite heavy.

“This bow is infused with meteorite iron,” the shopkeeper said with a smile. “For ordinary practitioners at the Marrow Tempering realm, without knowledge of archery, they can only forcefully draw it.”

Chen Fei nodded slightly, naturally positioning his body in the most suitable state for exerting force. In the next moment, he effortlessly drew the bow into a full moon shape.

The shopkeeper’s eyes widened in astonishment. What kind of strange power was this?

The shopkeeper realized that he had encountered a true expert today. He called over an assistant and whispered something in his ear. The assistant immediately ran to the backyard and returned shortly with a bow case.

“This bow is the strongest one in our shop,” the shopkeeper said as he handed the bow to Chen Fei. “More than eighty percent of the bow’s body is made of meteorite iron. My late father learned a bit about forging spirit weapons and attempted to create this bow and arrow.”

Chen Fei looked at the bow and arrow in his hand. It wasn’t a spiritual weapon, nor could it be considered a half-spiritual weapon. It was just an ordinary weapon.

Chen Fei felt that the shopkeeper had told him a story to try and inflate the price.

The value of a weapon sometimes depends on whether it has a story behind it, and the price can vary greatly because of it.

Chen Fei gripped the bowstring with his right hand and began to exert force.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The bowstring made a dull sound as Chen Fei’s eyes brightened. Despite disregarding the shopkeeper’s story, the bow was indeed strong and fully met his requirements.

“Hey!”

Chen Fei let out a low shout, and with the added power characteristic, the bow and arrow were drawn into a full moon shape.

The shopkeeper was truly dumbfounded this time. Chen Fei could still draw the bow effortlessly, which was truly amazing. It was mainly because Chen Fei’s cultivation at the Marrow Tempering realm was so deceptive.

“This will do,” Chen Fei said as he returned the bowstring to its original state and looked at the bow and arrow with a smile on his face.

With this bow, Chen Fei’s intimidation within the Mystic Realm would undoubtedly increase.

Early the next morning, Chen Fei returned to the Primordial Sword Sect and noticed a subtle change in the mood of his fellow disciples under Master Feng Xiupu’s tutelage.

Upon a brief moment of thought, it suddenly dawned on Chen Fei. Feng Xiupu’s restoration of cultivation in the Aperture Tempering realm had elevated his status within the sect. Naturally, as Feng Xiupu’s disciple, Chen Fei’s position had also changed to some extent.

Having an Aperture Tempering realm expert as a backer was not something easily obtained within the Primordial Sword Sect.

“Well done, junior martial brother,” Guo Lingshan said, patting Chen Fei’s shoulder with force.

Guo Lingshan was already aware of the reason for Feng Xiupu’s restoration of cultivation and was happier about it than anyone else.

It wasn’t just because they gained an Aperture Tempering realm backer; it was primarily because Feng Xiupu had regained his strength and resolved the knot in his heart, and Chen Fei was willing to handover the Origin Awakening Pill. These factors were what truly thrilled Guo Lingshan.

“A few days ago, Master went to the Zeng Family,” Guo Lingshan suddenly said.

“And then?” Chen Fei asked curiously.

“After Master came out in less than a quarter of an hour, the Zeng Family closed its doors to visitors for a month. Hahaha!” Guo Lingshan burst into laughter.

A smile formed on Chen Fei’s face as well. It seemed that the Zeng Family had received quite a beating.

Chen Fei stayed in the sect for two days. On the third morning, Feng Xiupu led Chen Fei and Guo Lingshan to the martial arts arena within the sect. There was already a group of people gathered there..
