Chen Mansion, in the side room.
Chen Xuan looked at the crystal vial in his hand, as long as a finger, crystal clear, very beautiful.
But that wasnât the point. The key was the emerald Calm Spirit Pill inside.
"So magical!"
After carefully observing the Calm Spirit Pill, Chen Xuan couldnât help but exclaim.
The fine lines protruding on the pillâs surface were actually threads of Spiritual Power.
Although each line was weak, the feeling it gave him was strong. At least, he couldnât match this level of Spiritual Power.
As he poured out the pill, instantly, the entire room was filled with Spiritual Power. More astonishingly, the moment the Calm Spirit Pill appeared in his hand, he even lost focus.
He had to remember that he was now a Fifth-Tier Spirit Cultivator.
And this was just a single pill.
"No wonder even my master praised this pill endlessly."
Chen Xuan couldnât help but marvel, then cautiously put it into his mouth.
It melted immediately!
A stream of clear energy surged into his mind instantly.
"So comfortable!"
Chen Xuan couldnât help but cry out at this moment.
This stream entered his mind with a sense of clarity. In the next moment, he began practicing the Myriad Manifestation Skill.
Magically, those usually obscure and difficult parts all became clear at this moment.
"So thatâs its function!"
Now he understood the role of the Calm Spirit Pill. It could assist Spirit Cultivators in comprehending the Cultivation Technique, no wonder Ye Jincen advised him at that time to digest it well.
..
In a flash, seven days had passed.
These seven days, Chen Xuan had been in the side room comprehending the Myriad Manifestation Skill.
Now, not only the room but the entire backyard was filled with Chen Xuanâs Spiritual Power.
An "Ong..." sound.
Instantly, all the Spiritual Power returned to Chen Xuanâs mind.
Murran opened his eyes.
"System!"
He hurriedly opened the panel.
[State: Martial Cultivator: Third Grade (Refining the internal organs (32%)), Spirit Cultivator: Fourth Tier]
[Cultivation Technique: Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Harmonization (1020/100000)), Myriad Manifestation Skill (Fourth Layer (42000/64000))]
"Whewâ"
Chen Xuan was unsettled at this moment.
A single Calm Spirit Pill not only allowed him to successfully break through to Fourth-Tier Spirit Cultivator but also advanced the Myriad Manifestation Skill to the late Fourth Layer, now only 20 thousand Skill Points away from the Fifth Layer.
"If I get a few more, I might reach the Third Tier."
But this thought just passed through his mind. If not for Xuan Er, how could he have gotten such a precious pill?
When Chen Xuan arrived at the backyard hall, Yue Nan told him that four days ago, someone from the City Lordâs Mansion came saying Ye Jincen had already set off for Yu Province.
He should head over once his training was done.
"Four days ago, huh?"
"So it should have almost arrived by now?"
After all, they were not ordinary people, and their speed wasnât so slow, just 500 kilometers away.
"Brother Xuan, are you going by yourself?" At this moment, Su Yun asked, with worry also showing on her little face.
"Yeah, Iâll go alone, wonât take you guys. After all, itâs the front-line battlefield. Your strengths are still a bit weak, not convenient."
Chen Xuan sat down, explaining.
"However..." then he changed the subject, "Iâll be back every evening. You guys just wait for me."
After all, itâs just 500 kilometers. At his current strength, one use of Godspeed Technique covers a dozen kilometers, wonât take long.
"Really!" The little girlâs previous worries vanished instantly.
"Of course!"
Chen Xuan pinched her little face, and the other three girls, upon hearing he would come every day, finally smiled as well.
Ever since knowing he still needs to go to the battlefield, the girls seemed calm on the surface but were actually very worried inside,
even discussing to go with him,
but didnât expect he could return every day, so itâs much better this way,
"Well, letâs go, ladies. Without your husbandâs companionship these days, you donât look so good, letâs go!"
Chen Xuan stood up, directly lifting Su Yun beside him, striding into the room.
The battle today was different, exceptionally intense.
Of course, in the end, Chen Xuan was still the one who laughed last.
But even so, no one surrendered that night.
.....
Morning.
[Last night was exceptionally intense, reward Skill Points 1000 points, Famous Spring Water bonus 300 points!]
Wow,
this system is really user-friendly, base points suddenly rose to 1000 points,
Looking at the girls sleeping soundly, Chen Xuan showed his tenderness, kissed each one on the forehead, then quietly got up,
dressed, and then with one step, disappeared from the room.
"Sister, Brother Xuan will come back at night, right?"
"He will!"
"Husband will definitely return!"
"Hmm! Thatâs good! I must cultivate well and give my husband a surprise!"
....
Whewâ
After performing Godspeed Technique over thirty times, Chen Xuan was also slightly panting.
"It seems I underestimated it; usually I donât pay attention, but I didnât expect that using my divine foot technique so many times would be overwhelming for my body."
Chen Xuan shook his head and let out a bitter laugh.
Looking down, he found himself in a mountain range, then chose the largest tree, sat cross-legged, and began to restore his spiritual power.
The Nine Revolutions Secret Technique activated, and spiritual qi from a ten-kilometer radius poured into his body.
In just about half an hour, the previously consumed energy was completely replenished.
He opened his eyes and habitually opened the panel.
"So much!"
In the realm section, Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Comprehension Level (1220/100000)).
If he remembered correctly, the progress increased by 200 points.
"Not bad, not bad!"
He didnât expect this kind of benefit, it was a happy accident.
He put away the panel and set out again.
..
The imperial army was stationed ten kilometers from Celestial Water Commandery.
At this time, in Ye Jincenâs tent.
"Miss Ye, Marshal Bai hopes you can quickly familiarize yourself with this Nine Dragons Array so we can attack the rebels soon."
Huang Yun respectfully handed her a jade slip.
Although he was of the second grade, he had seen Xuan Er suppress Bai Ze with one finger that day, so he dared not show any disrespect.
After all, he had heard how much Xuan Er spoiled Ye Jincen.
"Got it." Ye Jincen said casually as she took it, then sat down nearby to comprehend it.
"So cold!"
Huang Yun thought to himself, it was rumored she was always this icy.
But then he asked with a smile:
"Thereâs one more thing, when is Chen Xuan coming roughly? Marshal Bai wants to invite him into the Celestial Water Commandery to scout the situation inside!"
"General Huang, you should know that even if Chen Xuan comes, itâs only to protect my lady, he doesnât have to follow Marshal Baiâs orders. Besides, Celestial Water Commandery is full of rebels, if you ask him to go, what does that mean?"
At this point, Feng Zheng spoke impolitely.
"Well... I donât know either, Iâm just the messenger!" Huang Yun felt very aggrieved, he really didnât want to do this kind of thing.
But Bai Ze ordered him, and he dared not defy.
"I refuse to go!"
Chen Xuan finally arrived, appearing in the tent.
Seeing the teacup on the table, he didnât care whose it was and drank it up.
"Ah, refreshing! This tea is nice!"
It took him over an hour to get here, and his spiritual power was only about forty percent left.
Then he continued, "Tell Bai Ze to focus on healing, the battle is imminent, stop these petty schemes, tell him this word for word!"
Almost killed by Bai Ze, he certainly wouldnât be polite.
Especially since Xuan Er had said, he only needed to protect Ye Jincen, and handle other matters as he saw fit.
Still thinking of sending him to Celestial Water Commandery, dream on!
This bastard, sooner or later, heâll get him.
"Alright, I wonât disturb you anymore." Following this, he left the tent.
"Phewâ"
Huang Yun let out a long sigh, it was too hard for him!
A second grader, even if heâs a failure, but still a second grader, right?
Now both of these two third graders treat him like this, really... who can he reason with, itâs frustrating!
"You drank my tea!"
Ye Jincen put down the jade slip in her hand and said displeased.
"Oh... got it!"
Chen Xuan shrugged with an indifferent look.
"I donât like others drinking my tea."
"So what do you want me to do now that Iâve drunk it, spit it out?"
"You..." Ye Jincen frowned slightly, feeling nauseous inside.
Seeing this, Feng Zheng quietly exited the tent. These two were really like enemies, always arguing when they met, he couldnât afford to provoke it.
"Apologize!" Ye Jincen said coldly.
"Alright, alright, Iâm sorry, okay? My dear lady! Itâs just a cup of tea, no need to be like this!" Chen Xuan, sticking to the philosophy of not arguing with women, apologized sincerely.
"Rude! Really donât know why Little Sister Yun likes you."
This set Chen Xuan off, what does this mean?
Even if he drank her cup of tea, he apologized, right? Yet she still pressed on with such a domineering attitude and actually said something like this.
Sheâs the City Lordâs Mansionâs lady, not his lady.
So he slowly walked over, lowered his head, and their faces were almost touching, causing Ye Jincen to immediately stand up and step back cautiously, watching him, "What are you doing? Donât mess around, be careful, Iâll tell Little Sister Yun youâre bullying me! Also, my father wonât spare you, and Uncle Xuan too!"
"Hehehe!" Chen Xuan grinned innocently, "I havenât done anything! What do you expect me to do... next?"
"N-nothing!"
This time, Ye Jincen stammered as she spoke. People always treated her with great respect, who dared to be so impudent in front of her, her heart was suddenly in a chaos.
"Hahaha..."
Chen Xuan laughed heartily, then left the tent.
This woman was kind of interesting!
Now only Ye Jincen was left in the tent, recalling the scene just now, and Chen Xuanâs breath, she blushed.
Outside the tent!
Chen Xuan walked towards Feng Zheng not far away.
"Chief Steward Feng, you can rest assured this time, I donât need to go to the front line!"
"You brat!"
Feng Zheng couldnât help but laugh, but his heart was filled with emotion. Thinking of when they first met, he seemed to be only of the fourth grade then, and now he caught up, and even became Second Lordâs disciple.
Life is truly unpredictable!
