Chapter 15: The Spiritual Field

Night had fallen.

In the small courtyard of the Lin family, a tiny oil lamp flickered in the dim light. Lin Dayou sat on a small stool, carefully wiping down the farming tools he had used earlier that day with an oiled cloth, preventing them from rusting. Lin Yun, in the same dim light, was busy weaving a bamboo basket. Meanwhile, Lin Xiao was using his Dust Removal Technique to clean a pile of clothes, socks, and shoes.

After finishing his cleaning, Lin Xiao looked at his ...

Chapter 14: Spiritual Soil Synthesis

Experience is the best teacher! Lin Xiao decided to give it a try. If it didn’t work, there was nothing to lose, but if it succeeded, it would prove whether his Ten Miles Peach Blossom Tree was indeed a spiritual plant or just an ordinary peach tree.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t brought a hoe up the mountain. Lin Xiao had to run back home to grab one. Since the sect grounds had a protective barrier, he wasn’t worried about leaving Jiang Youfu alone in the grass hut.

Lin X...

Chapter 13: Basic Spirit Gathering Array

At this point, the only way for Lin Xiao to increase his cultivation speed was to study his cultivation method and deepen his comprehension.

Initially, his mind was solely focused on advancing as quickly as possible, making it impossible for him to settle down and concentrate.

Sun Yigao, who had spent years reading, immediately noticed Lin Xiao's restless state and realized that he was in no condition to focus on his studies.

So, Sun Yigao sat down beside him, pulled ...

Chapter 12: Purification Technique

When Sun Changfu entered the side room, he wasn’t planning to hand over the money just yet. He intended to delay the payment, wanting to see if the ash concoction the spirit medium prescribed would have any effect on his wife.

Then, he noticed his son had followed him into the room.

"Father, that spirit medium is just trying to scam us. You shouldn’t believe her."

Sun Changfu let out a bitter laugh. "I don’t believe her either, but your mother’s condition is w...

Chapter 11: Demonic Energy

As Lin Xiao spoke, he used the Dust Removal Spell on Sun Yigao.

Sun Yigao saw the young boy in front of him point casually towards his body. In the next moment, the water and mud stains on his clothes vanished, leaving him cleaner than he had been when he first put on his outfit that morning.

Sun Yigao was too astonished to speak.

Jiang Youfu, standing nearby, was equally shocked. He had a hundred exclamations of disbelief he wanted to share with Lin Xiao but, out of ...

Chapter 110: Finishing the Training

"What did you say? All five formation masters are dead?" The three people in front of the green-robed man were stunned by his words.

"Yes, just like when Master Yan tried to investigate my nephew's situation before, the curse didn't work. Instead, it was somehow reversed using some mysterious method," the green-robed man explained. "But this time, the counterattack was much stronger. Not only did they gain more information, but the five formation masters went mad, suddenly attack...

Chapter 109: Countering the Curse

In the blink of an eye, Lin Qian was engulfed in a scarlet aura, the intense crimson seemingly trying to pierce into his body.

Seeing the horrifying blood-red energy surrounding Lin Qian, Zhang Juncheng's expression darkened. "If I had recovered to my peak state, this kind of curse wouldn't be a problem. But right now, I'm powerless."

"Why would someone place a curse on Xiao Qian?" Ye Xin asked anxiously, her face filled with worry as she looked at the ominous red light env...

Chapter 108: Powerful Curse Technique

Lin Qian was confident that the contents of the storage ring he had given Mei Yuexia were more than enough to secure the Divine Sword Sect's alliance with him. If the value of those items hadn't impressed her, she wouldn't have warned him earlier. Clearly, she now saw him as one of her own.

"Lin Qian, did you get all these treasures from the ancient relic?" After a long pause, Qin Wushuang finally recovered from his shock and curiously asked Lin Qian.

Lin Qian nodded matter...

Chapter 107: The Storage Ring

"Uncle Qin, is there any need to be so excited about seeing me?" Lin Qian asked with a laugh, noticing Qin Wushuang's anxious expression.

Qin Wushuang quickly rushed over to Lin Qian, irritated by his nonchalant attitude. "You brat, what on earth were you thinking? Do you have any idea how dangerous it was to go to the death zone?"

"What's so bad about the death zone? At least I made a huge profit there. If you don't believe me, ask Lei Qian and the others how much loot we ...

Chapter 106: The Conclusion of the Ancient Relic

The sudden appearance of the swift soldier left most people present in shock. They had never seen such a person before, and they couldn't understand why he had emerged from the relic.

The only ones not surprised were the five disciples from the Wanxiang Sect, including Lei Qian, and the two disciples from the Divine Sword Sect, Ma Shaoyuan and Shi Sanmei. They had all seen this mysterious subordinate summoned by Lin Qian before, but they were puzzled as to why the swift soldier h...

Chapter 105: Dual Swords Unleashed

"Lin Qian's physical strength may only be at the Nirvana Realm, but it's comparable to a peak Void-Breaking Realm cultivator who specializes in body refinement," Zhang Juncheng silently marveled, still standing in place.

Suddenly, Lin Qian's aura shifted, drawing Zhang Juncheng's attention. He looked up, his expression changing slightly.

At that moment, nine golden dragons circled around Lin Qian, all formed from a bright yellow soul force, protecting the figure in the cent...

Chapter 104: What is Full Power?

"Xiao Qian, why are you looking so serious?" In the room of the small courtyard, Lin Qian and Ye Xin sat across from each other at the table.

At this moment, Lin Qian's expression was solemn, as if he were about to make an important decision.

"Aren't you curious about what's been happening to me?" After a moment, Lin Qian asked with a hint of curiosity.

Ye Xin propped her chin on her hands, looking at Lin Qian with a gentle smile. "Of course, I'm curious."

"Then...

Chapter 103: The Nurturing Plan

Ye Xin had no objections at all when Lin Qian took away the entire treasury, nor did she show any signs of dissatisfaction. After all, she hadn't done much, nor had she been able to help.

"If you need anything, just let me know," Lin Qian said as he walked over to Ye Xin.

Hearing Lin Qian's words, Ye Xin nodded, "Of course, you've gained so much, you're practically overflowing with wealth."

Lin Qian chuckled at her remark but also shook his head. To be honest, the Dan...

Chapter 102: Refined to Death by the Modified Formation

Before Nan Xin could react, he suddenly felt an invisible force pulling at his soul, dragging it towards the central platform of the formation.

At the same time, Zhang Juncheng, who was on the platform, realized what was happening and laughed heartily, "Haha, young friend, your subordinates' method is truly ingenious."

As Zhang Juncheng spoke, Ye Xin, who stood beside Lin Qian, could clearly see a humanoid phantom emerging from the alien body on the platform.

Similarl...

Chapter 101: Modifying the Formation

Although filled with anger, Nan Xin did not believe Lin Qian's words.

In his view, this human youth was extremely cunning, and his statements were likely just nonsense, completely unrealistic.

After all, Zhang Juncheng had expended so much effort and paid such a high price, only to barely manage to seal him, and even then, the seal wasn't entirely reliable. His soul could still leave his body and move around for a while.

How could this human youth have a method to com...

Chapter 260: The Advantages of Youth

Zhuge Liang was now deeply grateful that his talent was an active one. If it had been passive, in a place like Liu Bei's domain, where spiritual talents were everywhere, he estimated that his lifespan would be drained within five years. Calculating it, it seemed that each activation reduced his lifespan by about twenty times, so Zhuge Liang figured that if he used it sparingly, only in critical moments, he could manage. After all, despite his dissatisfaction, the effectiveness of his t...

Chapter 259: The Embodiment of Ancient Wisdom

While the scholars were rioting in Fenggao City, a carriage slowly entered through the east gate of the city.

"This Fenggao has truly become prosperous. I remember when Father left Taishan; the difference between then and now is enormous. This Chen Zichuan, though of similar age to me, possesses abilities I can only admire," remarked a young man dressed in white as he looked at his younger brother with a sense of awe.

"Let's head to the library. Regardless of anything else,...

Chapter 258: The Bait

Following Wei Yan's instructions, Guan Ping set up camp, and soon a camp that appeared riddled with flaws was constructed under his hands.

"How does this look, Wen Chang?" Guan Ping asked enthusiastically after finishing. For the young Guan Ping, his father was a figure of immense admiration, and he found his battle companion, who bore such a strong resemblance to his father, to be very trustworthy.

"Tan Zhi, even when laying bait, there needs to be a limit," Wei Yan said h...

Chapter 257: Guan Yu, Wei Yan, Guan Ping...

"Skilled in using soldiers, adept at formations, and good at utilizing terrain—sounds like a strategist," Guan Yu said as he stroked his most prized beard and slightly opened his eyes. After being influenced by Chen Xi for over a year, he had finally learned how to speak in a more refined manner.

"Of the Four Pillars of Hebei, these two are well placed by Yuan Benchu here. Moreover, placing Ju Gongyu in Bohai is quite appropriate. However, with Ju Gongyu’s focus now shifted n...

Chapter 256: Young Man, You Don't Understand Human Nature!

"Of course," Fazheng said proudly. "During this period, I secretly used Wenhe's intelligence network to investigate around seven or eight hundred scholars from various levels, and then my talent consolidated the information. It was too easy. Those who can become scholars don’t lack money; they lack honor, status, and special privileges, so I gave them all of that!"

Fazheng's spiritual talent for analyzing people made handling such matters easy. Although it was a bit troublesome...

Chapter 255: Scholars Storm the Library Pavilion

Chen Xi knew all too well about alliances; they were essentially meant to be broken. However, having such a thing in place meant that as long as neither side experienced a significant shift in power, no one would want to initiate a war in the short term.

Chen Xi just needed that brief buffer period. With that time, he would be able to fully incorporate Qingzhou into Liu Bei's territory.

For a while, Chen Xi's life didn't change much, maintaining a leisurely pace as usual. 2024-08-21 10:51:28 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 254: Intimidating the Four Corners and Ending This Year's War

Fazheng was overjoyed upon hearing this. While the task was indeed challenging, successfully accomplishing it would be the best recognition of his abilities. Without hesitation, he accepted the responsibility on the spot.

"Zichuan, you'll need to take on more as usual," Liu Bei didn't assign any specific administrative duties to Chen Xi, but he left this sentence, implying that Chen Xi still had the authority to oversee all civil officials.

"Understood," Chen Xi nodded and ...

Chapter 253: Let the Work Begin, Everyone!

Liu Bei was puzzled by the look Chen Xi gave him. In his view, everything was going smoothly, so why did Chen Xi suddenly appear so resentful?

Fortunately, Chen Xi understood that this wasn't the right time to discuss the matter. The military structure was something Chen Xi had devised, and only Liu Bei was aware of the details; the others had not been informed. Therefore, he couldn't say much and decided to explain it to Liu Bei in private later. What an unlucky situation.

Chapter 252: Retirement, Expansion, and Military Restructuring

Zhao Yun gave Chen Xi a way out, and Zhang Fei unintentionally set himself up. It was already October, and although the lunar calendar still had two months of November, winter was approaching.

“So, General Zhang, you agree to the retirement plan, as long as it’s done in phases and doesn’t impact combat effectiveness or invite trouble from other lords?” Chen Xi rephrased Zhang Fei’s earlier suggestion of retiring soldiers in batches.

Zhang Fei paused for a moment, ...

Chapter 251: Zhang Fei, You're Selling Out Your Teammates!

Chen Xi glanced at Fa Zheng, who was now seated beside Jia Xu, and didn’t say much. In terms of ability, Fa Zheng was indeed qualified to sit in that position, even if his thinking was a bit unconventional. With some experience, he would improve. Since neither Jia Xu nor Man Chong objected to Fa Zheng being there, Chen Xi pretended not to notice. However, with such status came corresponding responsibilities.

On the other side, the military officers were quite noisy. After all, ...

Chapter 160: Slaying Demons Beyond the Pass

The cold wind howled beyond the pass. Li Hao flew through the air, heading further away.

This time, he didn't need to worry about sudden ambushes by demon kings or relying on Old Feng's protection to escape. Though he was only at the peak of the Three Immortals, Li Hao felt that even if he encountered a Dao Heart-level demon king, he could fight it without needing to transform into an immortal.

Unfortunately, after adding points from the seventh stage to the eighth stage of...

Chapter 159: Impending Storm

Upon hearing the war report, Li Tiangang's furrowed brows did not change, only a slight nod indicating his acknowledgment. His gaze turned towards the vast land outside, which was blackened from the battle.

"These demons keep probing, testing our forces in the east," he remarked. "My fifth brother guards the west, and the demons have already scouted that out. They might attack from the north or the south…"

As he mentioned the south, his eyes narrowed slightly. South of Li...

Chapter 158: The Second Kindness Repaid to the Li Family

Breaking through the bottleneck and piercing through the life gate within his flesh, a powerful life force emanated from Li Hao's body. This force circulated outside his body before contracting back into his physique, becoming a non-decaying power. This power, spread throughout his entire body, could be activated in times of crisis, unleashing his maximum strength.

Normally, the three realms of the Three Immortals differ greatly. The Undying Realm breaks the mortal coil, allowing...

Chapter 157: Three Immortals, Transcendental Pinnacle

Three thousand miles north of Tianmen Pass, there lies the Chishui River. The river's waters are dark red, its bed filled with red stones, inhabited by water demons. By the river, at the foot of a mountain, stands a humble cottage. Here, an elderly man resides, a Three Immortals realm demon who calls himself the Red God.

The Red God commands the demons within a thousand miles, his territory rooted in the Chishui River. Originally a red-blooded python, he devoured the essence of t...

Chapter 156: Entering Spirit

After Ren Qianqian retrieved several large cauldrons to collect the blood, Li Hao summoned his Longxiao Sword. The blade, sharp and formidable, cut into the black bird demon king's body. Li Hao severed its neck, and the precious blood, filled with vital life essence, gushed out. Using his power of control, he directed the blood into the cauldrons, simultaneously removing excess water to concentrate the essence, leaving behind thick, viscous blood. Nine large cauldrons were filled to th...
