One sword cheat

Chapter 31 Drawing the Sword to Save Lives

Hu Yuxian, a genius from the Hu family, is yet another student with the potential to reach a second-tier high school!

Chen Ren stood outside the crowd, his Qi and Blood at the sixth level, his strength of nearly 700 jin unable to push them away.

Although cultivators at the Qi Refining stage are not very common in Yucheng, this is a pill shop, and because of the Hu family, it was already packed with people.

Anyone with a bit of ability came over.

Chen Ren noticed that some people's eyes looked strange.

But he knew his chance had come!

"Get out of the way, I'm from the Shangqing Palace!"

Chen Ren shouted, and it worked. The crowd turned around and their eyes fell on him.

"From Shangqing Palace?"

Which Shangqing Palace?

"I think I remember it, it's from the Qingcheng Mountain area, but it's not very famous."

"Wait a minute, didn't I remember the Shangqing Palace being full of a bunch of poor idiots with nothing but ideals?"

"Wrong, it wasn't a group anymore, it seems they're all gone now, I heard they're all dead..."

Chen Ren's face darkened as he added nearly a hundred points to his sword-drawing value.

With each word someone said, his face grew darker, until eventually he simply stopped talking and kept walking.

The disciples in the Qi Refining stage initially thought there was hope, but their hopes were instantly dashed upon seeing Chen Ren.

Turns out he was just a nobody.

He's not even a post-natal martial artist, just a mere sixth-level Qi and Blood cultivator, beyond saving.

"We're fucked."

One of the alchemists was disheartened and even considered: "Why don't we escape? Let's leave Yanxia and go to some small tribe where we can live out our old age in peace."

"Pah! Go ahead and leave. Having seen the bright moon in my life, who would want to cower and mingle with those uncultured barbarians?"

Another Qi Refining disciple snorted coldly: "The Hu family will definitely hold a grudge against us this time, but I plan to escape to the Five Thunder Sect. I heard that they need people to test their spells there, so they can offer some protection."

Hu Yuxian, the genius of the Hu family, was still on the ground, barely clinging to life. At that moment, she heard her followers already contemplating how to go their separate ways.

She's not dead yet! She can still be saved!

But those around her couldn't hear her cries for help.

But at that moment, a heavenly melody entered Hu Yuxian's ears.

"Get out of the way! The Shangqing Immortal Light of my Shangqing Palace can cure corpse poison."

Although the sound was not loud, it quickly brought a glimmer of hope to those ashen-faced Qi Refining disciples!

The celestial light of Shangqing?

That was the only skill that Shangqing Palace could boast about, and it was a special perk of Shangqing Palace.

"Holy crap, bro, bro, you're not kidding me!"

Li Shunxin suddenly looked up, her gaze landing on Chen Ren: "You're only at the sixth level of Qi and Blood cultivation, can you really save him?"

"Exactly! Even a disciple of the Shangqing Palace wouldn't be able to handle a sixth level of Qi and Blood cultivation..."

Wang Xiaodao also spoke up, but there was still a sliver of hope.

Chen Ren reached out and searched Hu Yuxian's body, but found nothing of value. Wouldn't a genius like her carry a few spirit stones with her?

His chest was bulging. Oh... sorry, I touched the wrong thing. He thought it was a spirit stone.

Chen Ren bent down, the sword already spinning, but he kept his voice extremely low.

"Hu Yuxian, wake up after I leave, and then come to Qingfeng to find me, Chen Ren."

He slowly rose and backed away, looking around apologetically:

"It seems that the sixth level of Qi and Blood is not enough."

Chen Ren raised his hand and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect: "I'm just here to make my presence known. Goodbye."

Wang Xiaodao: ?

[Sword Drawing Value +100!]

Li Shunxin: ?

[Sword Drawing Value +100!]

Hu Yuxian on the ground: [Sword Drawing Value +50!]

Beasts, are you just making fun of them?

"You bastard, believe me or not, we'll kill you right now and then run away!"

"Never mind, they are still from the Shangqing Palace."

Some people sighed. At this moment, Chen Ren had already left the crowd and, at the extreme distance, slashed at the negative corpse poison in Hu Yuxian's body!

At this moment, several of the chained men were so angry they were itching to fight, but the next second, Hu Yuxian, who was already weak and about to die on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes.

She sat up with a start, her face full of disbelief: "Holy crap, I'm all better?"

The poison in his body had been completely eliminated, and although the wound was still there, it was no longer fatal.

What's going on?

This frightened the people around, who all retreated, and some even drew their weapons!

Everyone's eyes were instantly fixed on her face. Could it be a zombie resurrection?

Hu Yuxian's eyes flickered. She was certain that she was conscious and unharmed. She immediately searched the crowd but couldn't find anyone.

Shangqing Palace, Chen Ren?

She noted the name down, but there were still things to do.

Having narrowly escaped death this time, I've come to understand some things. They probably don't know that I actually survived.

…………

That evening, a Foundation Establishment cultivator emerged from the Hu family. It was said that many people had died there. Hu Yuxian was taken back to the Hu family for treatment.

When Chen Ren learned of the news, he had already returned to Shangqing Peak overnight.

He was actually taking a very risky trip this time; many things are unclear, and it will bring a lot of follow-up trouble.

But as long as we get in touch with Hu Yuxian, Zhang Yunqing can come back, and all the problems will be solved!

Rational thinking can help identify the dangers of the day.

First of all, the Hu family is an absolutely powerful family force, with a composition similar to behemoths like the Wang and Zhang families.

Each of them has more than one Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge.

You can tell that Hu Yuxian's bodyguards are all Qi Refiners when she goes out.

The other party is not short of money, so his timely help is more effective than anything else.

However, these are only superficial appearances.

Corpse poison would never appear near Yucheng. This is Yanxia's territory, where human civilization is unprecedentedly prosperous. How did she get infected?

Given her qualifications as a second-tier high school student, will she face any competition?

Why was she the only genius at the Qi Condensation stage who was injured, while the other Qi Refining disciples were unharmed?

Looking beyond the surface, something seems amiss.

Chen Ren didn't want to get involved in this mess, and if he weren't so desperate for money, he wouldn't have taken such a risk.

Therefore, after leaving his information, Chen Ren decisively withdrew and went straight back to Shangqing Peak.

The entire Qingcheng Mountain Academy couldn't give him a sense of security; only Shangqing Peak, where entry was restricted to those with a token, could provide him with protection.

Of course, these might all be his imagination, but Chen Ren didn't want to take the risk.

On his way back, he even used his sword-drawing skill several times to erase his own tracks, just in case. He only breathed a sigh of relief after he finally returned to Shangqing Peak.

The token emitted a soft glow, indicating that he had arrived at the protected area.

"I can't take such risks again..." He muttered to himself as he glanced out of the mountains.

Meanwhile, outside Qingcheng Mountain Academy, several figures stopped in disappointment.

Some of them immediately gave chase, but unfortunately, the kid was too cunning and they were a step too late.

"Should we go in? Damn it, we're both only at the first level of Qi Refining, and we still couldn't catch up with him."

"Gone in the blink of an eye, damn it!"

"What are you going in for? Are you just bored?"

"How can we explain ourselves if we don't catch him?"

"Hu Yuxian was lucky this time, she ran into the people from Shangqing Peak, but the young master's plan failed, and we will definitely be punished."

"Shangqing Palace doesn't have many people, but Qingcheng Mountain Academy has quite a few powerful figures. If you want to die, go ahead. I'm going back now."

"Besides, it might not necessarily be him who did it. After all, he's only at the sixth level of Qi and Blood cultivation. There's a possibility that someone else was there..."

The two voices gradually faded away, as if nothing had happened.
