Chapter 83: A Year’s Gains

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

If possible, Zhang Chen did not want to see Elder Blood River.

Elder Blood River’s attention and the side effects of the Blood Body gave him a serious sense of danger.

As a result, he still did not dare to refine and use the high-grade magic weapon that Elder Blood River had given him previously.

In the past year, other than the pool of blood seeds, Zhang Chen had also improved his cultivation to the second level of Foundation Establishment.

It was Elder Blood River who had asked him to reach the second level of Foundation Establishment in a year.

Zhang Chen did not know if Elder Blood River would punish him if he did not meet the requirements.

At the very least, he would feel that he was not worth nurturing.

If the Blood God Sect wanted to raise pigs, he would let them. In any case, they would not be slaughtered unless they were raised to a certain extent.

His growth speed had far exceeded everyone’s imagination.

When the higher- ups of the Blood God Sect wanted to kill him, they would realize that he was not a fat pig, but a ferocious tiger with sharp fangs and claws!

Retracting his thoughts, Zhang Chen stood up and left the cave abode, turning into a blood light and flying towards Blood River Peak. “Disciple Zhang Chen requests to see Master.”

“Pa, pa, pa…” A huge bat demon flew over from the sky.

“Follow me.” The bat demon was very impatient. Zhang Chen did not say anything and followed silently.

“Master, Zhang Chen is here.”

“Come in.”

Zhang Chen entered the cave abode and bowed. “Disciple Zhang Chen greets

Master.”

“Second level of Foundation Establishment, not bad. Looks like you’re diligent in your cultivation and haven’t forgotten my words. You should be rewarded!” Elder Blood River nodded in satisfaction.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a jade slip flew in front of Zhang Chen.

“This is the advanced spell of the Blood Escape Technique, Blood Light Escape.

Only the elders in the sect can obtain it. After mastering it, no one below the

Golden Core realm can catch up to you.”

“Thank you for the technique, Master.” Zhang Chen took the jade slip with both hands.

Elder Blood River continued, “If you can break through to the third level of Foundation Establishment in five years, I will reward you.”

“I won’t let Master down,” Zhang Chen said seriously.

Elder Blood River smiled like a true teacher. “Alright, you can go back and cultivate.”

“Yes, I’ll take my leave.” Zhang Chen bowed and left the cave abode.

After Zhang Chen left, Elder Blood River revealed a meaningful smile. “Regardless of whether you have a special physique or any treasures, they will be mine in the end.

“As for my good disciple, Wu Chang, he has lost his share of the Beast Garden and can’t do anything to Zhang Chen. It’s very likely that he will make up his mind to form his Gold Core. As long as he forms his Gold Core, it will be time to pluck the fruits.”

Zhang Chen returned to his cave abode and took out the jade slip given to him bv Elder Blood River. He frowned.

What a coincidence!

No one below the Golden Core stage could catch up to this escape technique. He could escape Wu Chang’s pursuit now.

Clearly, Elder Blood River knew him very well.

Or rather, all of this was pushed by him.

If he had not given him the share of the Beast Garden, Wu Chang would not have formed a grudge with him.

“What’s the purpose of Elder Blood River doing this? To nurture me? To suppress Wu Chang? Or to do both?”

He had obtained a share of the Beast Garden and a life-saving escape technique. Only Wu Chang had suffered losses.

“Forget it, I won’t think too much about it. What I need to do now is to increase my strength as soon as possible.”

Zhang Chen’s gaze was firm as he placed the jade slip on his forehead to check.

[Detected cultivation technique, Blood Light Escape. Compressed the body and erupted with a dazzling blood light. Escape 1,000 miles in a flash.]

[Side effect: When used, there is a risk of the body collapsing and not being able to recover.]

[Please wait a moment, system modification is in progress…] [Ding! Modification complete. Side effects canceled.]

The Blood Light Escape was indeed powerful!

After Zhang Chen memorized the content, he immediately began to practice.

The Blood Light Escape was of the same lineage as Blood Escape Technique, so it was very easy to comprehend.

The difference between the two was that the Blood Escape Technique used blood as gasoline and the Blood Light Escape Technique used blood as gunpowder.

A month later, Zhang Chen successfully mastered the Blood Light Escape, but it was inconvenient to use it in the Blood God Sect.

“Is Senior Brother Zhang here? Junior Brother Wang Zhengang requests an audience.”

In the cave abode, Zhang Chen was a little puzzled when he heard the name. Ever since Wang Zhengang advanced to the inner sect, the two of them had not interacted for several years.

Most importantly, Wang Zhengang was not a registration disciple of the Beast Garden and could not help Zhang Chen much. He did not dare to disturb him.

Walking out of the cave abode, Zhang Chen realized that there was an outer sect disciple beside Wang Zhengang.

“Senior Brother Zhang.” Wang Zhengang cupped his hands and bowed.

The outer sect disciple at the side was especially uneasy and nervous. “Greetings… Senior Brother Zhang.”

Zhang Chen glanced at them and asked, “Junior Brother Wang, what’s the matter?”

“Senior Brother Zhang, the junior brother beside me is called Shi Zhi. He wants to be a registration disciple in the Beast Garden and serve you.” Wang Zhengang explained his purpose for coming.

Although he had already left the Beast Garden, he still had connections and knew a lot of inside information about the Beast Garden, such as Zhang Chen snatching Wu Chang’s share.

Shi Zhi was actually the spokesperson he had found in the outer sect.

As a former registered disciple of the Beast Garden, Wang Zhengang was very clear about the benefits and benefits. Even now, he was still thinking about it.

Therefore, he figured out Zhang Chen’s relationship and let his spokesperson become a registration disciple of the Beast Garden.

Although he said that he was working for Zhang Chen, he actually wanted to obtain benefits.

Zhang Chen also knew very well that with his current status and the resources he had, he did not need a registration disciple at all, so he shook his head and refused.

“I’m no longer involved in the affairs of the Beast Garden. I don’t know which senior brother arranged for the registered disciples now. If I rashly recruit someone, it’s very easy to offend other senior brothers.”

“Then I won’t disturb Senior Brother Zhang anymore.” Wang Zhengang was a little disappointed and left with Shi Zhi.

Zhang Chen shook his head and returned to the cave abode.

A few days later, someone came again.

“Is Junior Brother Zhang here?”

Zhang Chen walked out of the cave abode and realized that it was an unfamiliar direct disciple at the second level of the Foundation Establishment realm. “What’s the matter, Senior Brother?”

“Hello, Junior Brother Zhang. My name is Huo Qiren.”

“Hello, Senior Brother Huo.” Zhang Chen cupped his hands.

“It’s like this. When I was on a sect mission, I discovered an ancient cave abode enveloped by a formation. Because our cultivation levels are similar, I want to invite Junior Brother Zhang to break the formation and explore it together.”

An ancient cave abode was a cave abode left behind by a senior in the cultivation world. There might be spiritual herbs, treasures, spells, cultivation techniques, and so on,

In the cultivation world, there had always been a legend of a certain person discovering an ancient cave by chance, obtaining a treasure or a heaven-defying cultivation technique, and soaring into the sky.

Therefore, cultivators were very enthusiastic about exploring ancient cave abodes. They discovered that ancient cave abodes were like winning the lottery.

“I’m sorry, I’m not interested in the ancient cave abode. Senior Brother Huo, find someone else.” Zhang Chen shook his head and refused.

He knew that Wu Chang was definitely watching him and wanted him to leave the sect.

He would not leave the sect until he was 100 percent confident in dealing with wu Chang.

Huo Qiren did not give up and persuaded, “Junior Brother Zhang, are you really not going to reconsider? This is an ancient cave abode! We might be able to obtain some treasure!”

“I still have to cultivate, so I won’t accompany Senior Brother Huo.” Zhang Chen was unmoved. He turned around and returned to the cave abode.

Huo Qiren could only give up unwillingly and turn into a blood light to leave.

A moment later, Huo Qiren arrived at Wu Chang’s cave abode.

“Senior Brother Wu, Zhang Chen is unwilling to leave the sect.”

“Even the ancient cave abode can’t tempt him!” Wu Chang’s expression was gloomy.

After waiting for a year, the more Wu Chang thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn’t wait any longer.

Therefore, he found Huo Qiren to see if he could lure Zhang Chen out of the sect..
