Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

The Immortal Way

The entire day was calm and peaceful in Pingyin County.

Chen Fei was a bit puzzled. Could it be that the people at the county government didn’t believe his message?

This was possible. After all, such a sneaky method was difficult to win people’s trust. However, at the very least, the county government should have sent someone to investigate.

If they really investigated carefully, they could still find some clues.

During the day, Chen Fei practiced the Fierce Mountain Sword. Occasionally, he would study the pill formula of the Light Spirit Pill to change his mind.

The pill formula he obtained from Chi Defeng for the Light Spirit Pill was complete nonsense, to put it bluntly. However, there were very few things that could be discerned from it.

Fortunately, Chen Fei had the interface. After he simplified the pill formula for the Light Spirit Pill, he obtained a set of pill refining methods for it.

When refining each type of medicinal pill, there were many things that needed attention. At this time, he would use alchemy techniques to adjust the changes in the pill furnace.

Thus, this set of pill-refining techniques for the Light Spirit Pill was still helpful to Chen Fei. However, he had to rely on himself to deduce the medicinal ingredients needed for it.

Chen Fei thought that if he could buy a few more similar pill formulas and try to simplify them to see if he could add something else.

However, it was a pity that there were very few people who were suitable for things like pill recipes. There would also not be any alchemists who would buy such a baffling pill recipe.

If there were no transactions, naturally, no one would be so bored as to compile pill formulas. Those cultivation techniques and secret manuals could still be used for entertainment, but something as boring as pill formulas did not even have the effect of relieving boredom.

Thus, when Chen Fei was not practicing his sword technique, he would take out the finished Light Spirit Pill and analyze the composition of the medicinal ingredients within. Occasionally, he would refine a few furnaces to see the results.

As night fell, Chen Fei practiced in the courtyard where he lived.

This courtyard was no longer the original one. Sun Shu already knew about that residence, and his whereabouts were still unknown. Chen Fei did not want to be on guard all the time, so he figured he might as well change places to live. It would be more worry-free.

Chen Fei held his long sword and moved around the courtyard. As the sword light flickered, sword qi vaguely surrounded him.

“KILL!”

Suddenly, a voice came from afar, causing Chen Fei to stop and turn his head towards the southeast, where a blazing fire was rising. Chen Fei furrowed his brows slightly as that direction was the hiding place of the mountain bandits.

“It seems that the county government has taken action!” Chen Fei thought to himself.

He stared at the distant blaze, intermittent sounds of fighting occasionally reaching his ears. Although the sounds were fragmented, Chen Fei could tell from the fierce and brutal sounds that were occurring.

All the lights in the houses along the way were extinguished, indicating that the commotion had frightened many ordinary people who dared not make a sound.

“That group of mountain bandits has actually broken through the siege!” Chen Fei frowned. The sounds of fighting began to spread to the surrounding area, showing that the county government had not succeeded in its mission.

The sound of clashes came closer, with some of the mountain bandits rushing towards Chen Fei’s direction while being chased by the county officials. Gradually, the sounds faded away, and everything slowly returned to calmness. Chen Fei put away his long sword and was about to return to his room when three figures suddenly jumped over the courtyard wall.

Seeing Chen Fei in the courtyard, the three men were momentarily stunned.

“It’s him!” Jian Liang recognized Chen Fei as the physician he had met before. He was surprised to see him here, feeling that it was a strange coincidence.

“Who are you people!” Chen Fei took a step back in nervousness, stumbling and falling to the ground.

“Kill him!” Jian Liang ordered, then turned around cautiously to check if anyone was coming from outside. If there were any movements, they would have to run again as the county officials were still chasing after them. As for Chen Fei’s previous act of saving him, Jian Liang didn’t care at all. Last time, he let them go, even if it was being lenient. Now that he encountered them again, Jian Liang didn’t reveal his true intentions and just wanted to kill them.

“Pl-Please…”

As if he was in extreme fear, Chen Fei’s cries for help sounded hoarse. The two bandits sneered and approached Chen Fei, their knives aimed at his head.

“Chi!”

The sound of blades piercing flesh came, and the two bandits froze, clutching their throats as blood gushed out uncontrollably. They couldn’t even stop the bleeding with their hands.

“Heh…heh…”

Their breaths were now mixed with blood, and they couldn’t even speak. Their bodies collapsed with a dull thud.

Jian Liang turned around and saw Chen Fei holding a long sword, his previously frightened expression now replaced by extreme calmness.

Jian Liang looked at the two twitching bodies on the ground, squinted his eyes, and looked up at Chen Fei, saying, “I didn’t expect to have underestimated you!”

“Now you can size me seriously.” Chen Fei lightly tapped the long sword, causing the blood on it to fly off.

“HOW DARE YOU!” Jian Liang angrily shouted his figure swayed as he appeared in front of Chen Fei, his knife becoming like a phantom as it appeared at Chen Fei’s neck.

“Clang!”

The sound of blades clashing rang out, and Chen Fei was forced back a step. Jian Liang was about to pursue, but Chen Fei’s long sword had already stabbed toward his face.

“Chi!”

Sword Qi rushed past, leaving a bloody gash on Jian Liang’s cheek, causing his hair to flutter

Jian Liang’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. He was almost killed by that sword Qi just now. If he hadn’t noticed something was wrong at the last moment and quickly dodged, he would have died.

After the panic came extreme anger.

The ant that he could easily have killed before, he had spared out of pity. But now he was almost killed in return, how could Jian Liang tolerate it?

“Die!”

Jian Liang roared, veins bulging on his forehead. The blade in his hand became like waves of the sea, whistling towards Chen Fei.

“Clang!”

With a dull sound, the blade struck Chen Fei’s chest, causing him to slam into the courtyard wall and blood to flow from the corner of his mouth.

“I’m going to peel off your flesh, piece by piece!”

Jian Liang’s eyes were bloodshot, his qi and blood surging to the extreme. In a few steps, he had arrived in front of Chen Fei, and his long sword fell again, making it sound like waves crashing in the air.

“Soaring Sword Aura!”

Chen Fei suddenly shouted, and waves of sword aura appeared on the blade.

Jian Liang’s heart tightened, thinking of Chen Fei’s previous sword qi. Now hearing the name of this domineering sword move, his long sword slowed down a bit involuntarily.

Just then, Chen Fei’s right foot stepped on the wall, and he appeared in the air. In the next moment, he was already running towards a distant place.

Jian Liang’s eyes widened suddenly as he realized he had been tricked. His already angry state erupted, and his blood boiled so much that even blood droplets could be seen seeping out of his pores.

Jian Liang’s figure shot out and caught up to Chen Fei’s back in just a few steps.

“Die!” Jian Liang lifted his sword high, about to strike down when suddenly a bright light flashed before his eyes.

Like a fleeting moment of a white horse, it was as if a divine being was pointing the way.
