C15 Gift from lin xue

"You…You are a demon…"

Chi Ming was indeed barely alive. Seeing Liu Yang's death, he stared at Zi Chen in terror. His voice was weak to the extreme. So was himself.

Zi Chen slowly walked over. He walked in front of Chi Ming, squatted down, and used his green clothes to wipe the blood off his hands, then said indifferently, "If you want to kill someone, then you must have the awareness of being killed."

After that, Zi Chen used his other clean hand to search Chi Ming's chest. After searching for a while, he truly took out a Genuine Qi Pill.

"Not bad, I didn't expect that you would have one. Thanks, brat." Holding the Genuine Qi Pill in his hand, Zi Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.

"Pfft." Chi Ming could not bear Zi Chen's words, he used up all of his strength by spitting the last mouthful of blood, tilted his head, and fell to the ground.

This time, he could never open his mouth again.

Three people died.

Zi Chen stood up and walked to the side of the dead Fu Jie. After fumbling around for a while, he got another Genuine Qi Pill.

Unfortunately, Liu Yang did not have a Genuine Qi Pill.

"This is the opportunity."

Zi Chen's eyes lit up. He took the two Genuine Qi Pills and left the forest carrying the baggage. As for the three corpses, Zi Chen didn’t bother to take a look at them, not to mention burying them.

...

Several kilometers away, next to a small stream, Zi Chen washed his hands, simply ate some rations, and then found a relatively safe place.

He sat down cross-legged and tried to calm himself down.

Eyes to nose, nose to heart.

Today's gains were great for he had obtained two Genuine Qi Pills and his strength at the peak of the fourth stage of the Genuine Qi was naturally able to break through as well.

If one had the strength of the fifth stage of the Genuine Qi, he would have the rights to participate in the inner sect examinations. What was more, he could compete in the Ranking Competitions and win more prizes.

As soon as he put Genuine Qi Pill in his mouth, it melted and entered his stomach. A stream of warm and pure spiritual energy gushed into his limbs and bones.

The Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Spell was working. And just like before, after circulating less than half a cycle, the energy was absorbed by the heart…

After a few breaths of time, as the heart suddenly beat, a pure wave of silver energy appeared in the heart. Most of the energy entered the blood of the blood and the bones and only a small portion converged into the dantian.

In Zi Chen's dantian, there was already a lot of silver energy gathering and within the silver energy a few small bolts of lightning occasionally appeared.

As the infusion of external energy, the silver energy within the dantian suddenly began to tremble, as if it was about to undergo some sort of metamorphosis. However, the metamorphosis still seemed to be kind of lack of power.

"My body has absorbed too much energy that I can't smoothly break through. I can't be stingy." Zi Chen sighed and swallowed the other Genuine Qi Pill.

After that, as his heart trembled, an unending stream of energy poured into his dantian, causing the entire silver energy to indeed undergo the metamorphosis.

The energy in the dantian became even richer…At the same time, within Zi Chen's body, every drop of blood, cells, bones, and even his marrow were changing. They were growing stronger because of the energy.

In a trance, Zi Chen seemed to have the feeling that his own physique had broken through again, and was now comparable to that of a Level Six Vicious Beast.

After a long time, when the breakthrough was complete, Zi Chen opened his eyes. In that instant, it was as if lightning flashed across his eyes.

" I have finally broken through to the fifth stage of Genuine Qi."

Zi Chen's face revealed a hint of joy. Taking this step meant he succeeded in entering the inner sect, equivalent to another opening door for himself. In the future, the world would be very exciting.

It didn’t take long to absorb the two Genuine Qi pills. There was still close to a month's time before the inner sect exams. In this period of time, Zi Chen did not want to cause any more trouble, so he did not go back. Instead, he stayed in the forest.

He calmed his heart and trained.

During the day, Zi Chen would work hard to cultivate the Combat Technique. He applied Fierce Tiger Fist with Floating Cloud Step making his strength much more powerful.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

This sort of sounds could always be heard in the forest as big trees fell down one after another. And the roars of a fierce tiger rang out every now and then, startling away many small animals.

At night, Zi Chen would cultivate with the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Spell, and the surrounding natural energy would quickly gather towards Zi Chen. After going through the heart's absorption, it would be let out.

Time flew by, and half a month had passed. The forest was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the spring had already passed a half.

"The inner sect exams should begin now."

Early in the morning, the cross-legged Zi Chen opened his eyes. Today, he would begin his journey home and fight for the right to enter the inner sect.

"In the battles of the past, the first place will be rewarded a Second-Rate Combat Technique and three Genuine Qi Pills. What will be the prizes for the first place this time?" Zi Chen's eyes were filled with expectation.

...

The Spirit Martial Sect was bustling with noise and excitement.

The inner sect exams were held every two years, and if one missed the chance, he could only wait two more years. In the bustling atmosphere, Zi Chen's return didn't attract anyone's attention.

"Zi Chen, you're finally back. I've been worried to death about you during this period." Miao Kong was in his room. When he saw Zi Chen coming back, he exclaimed in pleasant surprise.

"I'm fine. I just didn't want to cause any more trouble, so I stayed out for a while." Zi Chen laughed.

"I heard that after you left that day, Fu Jie and Chi Ming also left together. Did you meet them?" Miao Kong asked.

"They died, and their Genuine Qi Pills were mine…" Zi Chen explained what happened that day.

"In such a short period of time, your growth is quite surprising. It seems that this time, you are likely to win the first in the exams." Miao Kong laughed.

"It's just that there's hope, but I can't guarantee it."

"When you were at the fourth stage of Genuine Qi, you were able to kill the experts at the fifth stage of the Genuine Qi,, and now that you have made a breakthrough, who can still be your match?"

Just as Zi Chen returned, Wang Meng, who had absorbed three Genuine Qi, Pills, had also reached the critical point of his breakthrough. The surrounding energy surged and gathered towards Wang Meng, and within his dantian, the Genuine Qi, was also undergoing a metamorphosis.

"Sixth stage of the Genuine Qi, haha, this time the first place must be mine." After a while, the surrounding energy returned to normal and Wang Meng opened his eyes with a look of ecstasy on his face.

"Brother Meng, Brother Meng…"

Just as Wang Meng broke through and he was in a good mood, an anxious voice sounded out from outside the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and a green-clothed disciple walked in quickly. He said anxiously, "Brother Meng, something bad happened. Zi Chen came back, but Fu Jie and Chi Ming did not. Even Liu Yang did not return."

A cold light flashed in Wang Meng's eyes, and he asked, "When did this happen?"

"Just now, Zi Chen just came back."

Before Wang Meng went into closed-door cultivation, he had made Lin Mi kept an eye on that, waiting for Fu Jie and the others to return. He had waited for so many days but Fu Jie and the others hadn’t come back while at this moment he saw Zi Chen.

"Zi Chen, I never thought that you would actually play the weak to kill the strong, you shall die." Wang Meng was infuriated. Previously, the situation of Zhao Can and the others remained unknown, and now, Fu Jie and the rest did not come back. If one considered it a coincidence, Wang Meng would not agree.

"Playing the weak to kill the strong? Brother Meng, you mean that Fu Jie and Chi Ming were killed?" Lin Mi felt that it was really hard to believe. That day it was him who went to splash the dung outside Zi Chen’s room.

"It's hard to say, but it's possible. If Zi Chen broke through to the fifth stage of the Genuine Qi, he must have used the Genuine Qi Pill, and Fu Jie and Chi Ming would have been in great danger." Wang Meng's eyes flashed with a cold light, "But so what if he broke through? In the second round of the competition, if only he doesn’t meet me, or else I will tear him into pieces."

The inner sect exams included two rounds.

The first was a test of strength, while the second was a test of fighting ability.

The day for the exams was around the corner, and all the disciples of Spirit Martial Sect that had gone out returned one after another. Some were happy, some were sad. Those who had broken through the fifth stage of Genuine QI were naturally happy while those who hadn’t had to wait for another two years.

When Zi Chen came back, it was in the morning. At noon, there were people looking for him.

The one who came was Lin Xue.

She was slim, dressed in the same green clothes of the Spirit Martial Sect, standing outside Miao Kong's room. Her beauty and shyness were like a newly opened lotus.

The outer sect disciples returned one after another. There were a lot of people, so naturally there were people who saw Lin Xue standing outside Miao Kong's door.

Lin Xue's beauty might not be able to compare with the goddess Su Mengyao's, but she was like a lotus that possessed a different kind of grace, a different kind of gentleness. If it wasn't for Su Mengyao's protection, who knows how many times she would have been viciously treated. That day Zi Chen found her badly injured by chance, which also resulted from others’ covetousness. They had coveted her for her beauty and they had almost made it.

Her standing outside Miao Kong's door today, naturally captured people’s imagination.

“Isn't that Miao Kong's room? Why is Lin Xue standing outside? Is she waiting for Miao Kong?”

"Bullshit, she's waiting for Zi Chen, I really don't know what kind of luck this brat has. What have he done is merely carrying the heavily injured Lin Xue back. Not only did he get close to Lin Xue, he even made Lin Xue fall in love with him."

"This world is simply too surprising. Even the goddess has set her eyes on a poor brat."

"What, Lin Xue is waiting for Zi Chen? Has Zi Chen actually returned? He offended Wang Meng and Wang Xiong and he is not dead yet?"

The crowd in the distance were whispering with each other. All kinds of complicated emotions were spreading, and there was also jealousy filling the air.

"Lin Xue?" Zi Chen walked out of the room. Seeing Lin Xue, he seemed to be very surprised.

"Where have you been all this time? I have been looking for you for a long time but I can’t find you." As for the discussions of the crowd, Lin Xue directly ignored them. At the moment, she could only have her eyes on Zi Chen.

"I went to the training." Zi Chen scratched his head and said.

"This is for you." Lin Xue laughed softly as a porcelain bottle appeared in her hand.

"What is this?" Zi Chen was startled.

"Hee hee, you'll know once you open it." Lin Xue laughed heartily, "I'm going to enter the inner sect, you can't be too inferior either, otherwise, the gap between us will get larger and larger. When I come again to look for you, you will feel even more inferior."

"This is a Genuine Qi Pill." Zi Chen's expression changed, and he hurriedly shook his head, "No, I cannot accept. I have yet to repay you for saving me that day, how could I accept such a precious gift?"

Just like how the lotus blossoms, Lin Xue laughed, "I know you won’t accept it as a gift. Don't worry, I don’t give it to you for nothing. I just lend it to you. When you enter the inner sect, you can return it to me. There are actually two Genuine Qi Pills in here. If you really want to thank me, you can return three to me at that time."
