Chapter 532 - Class Upgrade

“Junior Sister! You!”

Zhou Yizhuo immediately looked at Zhao Yingying. Zhao Yingying looked at him and said, “We are hanging on the thread now. I have already handed it over. Do you still want to not hand it over? Tonight, we will pretend that we have seen nothing. The two, the two seniors will not make it difficult for us…” At the end of her words, her voice gradually became lower.

Zhou Yizhuo still wanted to say something, but he suddenly felt suffocated. It was that Chu Qi had pressed her fingers on his Tianling acupuncture point. He did not dare to move now, because a slight movement could hurt himself.

Moments later, Chu Qi sealed a strand of Zhou Yizhuo’s Soul’s Life Source into the jade note as well. Zhou Yizhuo immediately collapsed. Zhao Yingying, who was next to Zhou Yizhuo was so scared that she trembled all over. She knelt on the ground as she stuttered, “Seniors… we pretend that we haven’t seen anything tonight. I just beg you… I only beg that when you leave, you return our Soul’s Life Source to us…”

After that, Zhao Yingying suddenly raised her head again. Her life was in their hands, and she was so scared that she cried, “Please rest assured, I… We will never say a word! Absolutely nothing!”

Chu Qi was not moved at all. She looked at Xiao Chen. As long as Xiao Chen gave an order, she would immediately kill the two people. She asked softly, “Lord?”

When Zhou Yizhuo heard that she called this man Lord, she felt even more that the other party had a big background and was scared to death. He did not think about anything else now, and he did not care whether the other party had heard his conversation with Zhao Yingying just now and only hoped that he could keep her life. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, “Please spare my life! We will never say a word!”

Xiao Chen’s face was getting paler and paler, and blood was constantly dripping from the corner of his mouth. In fact, he did not pay attention to what these two people were talking about before. Back then, when he saw someone coming up, all he was thinking about was how to deal with it. How could he have time to care what these two people said?

Now he did not want to care what these two were going to do even more. He took it as that it was their rendezvous in the middle of the night. He just wanted them to leave as soon as possible. He shouted coldly, “Get out!”

When the two heard this, they felt as if they had been granted amnesty. At least now they did not have to die. Whatever else shall be taken care of in the future? Zhao Yingying said in a quavering voice, “Thank, thank you, senior. Don’t worry… As for tonight’s event, we will not say one more word.” After that, she helped Zhou Yizhuo up and they limped and hurried out.

After they left, Chu Qi immediately returned to Xiao Chen’s side. Seeing that his face looked even more ghastly, she exclaimed, “Lord!” She then sat down cross-legged and was about to help Xiao Chen run the cultivation method. Xiao Chen said, “Don’t! Don’t move!”

Xiao Chen took a breath and said slowly, “For the time being, I have sealed up my energy and acupuncture points. I can’t move now, so you don’t move either.”

Right now, he felt like he was stepping on a mine. He did not dare to move at all or run his power. Otherwise, he would lose everything and become useless. Fortunately, it was not long after he started channeling his power. If this happened two days later when he entered deep into channeling his power, he might have lost all of it.

Blood was flowing out of the corner of Chu Qi as well, but it was much better than Xiao Chen’s. She frowned and asked, “What do I do now?”

“Calm down.” A cold sweat broke out on Xiao Chen’s forehead. He contemplated for a long time before saying, “Take off my shirt first.”

“What?” Chu Qi would not have said anything if this was a normal day. But now, when she thought of the two just now… when the two did it in front of her and Xiao Chen… She felt uncomfortable at the thought of that scene.

“Come on.” Xiao Chen gave a muffled snort and said with a frown.

“Oh.” Chu Qi slowly stretched out her hand and carefully undid his shirt. When her fingertip touched his burning red skin, it felt like she had touched charcoal.

“Find the acupuncture points of Zigong, Shenfeng, Spirit Ruin, Guanmen, Tianchi, and Yunmen Acupuncture Points. Do you know how to find the acupuncture points?”

“Yes.” Chu Qi nodded.

“Do it in the order I said just now. Guide the True Qi from the Zigong acupuncture point to the Yunmen acupuncture point. Be careful and don’t be too hasty.”

“All right.”

Chu Qi frowned slightly. After finding these acupuncture points, she gently pressed her fingertips on them and began to run her cultivation. After four hours like this, it seemed that she was carefully dismantling mines. Xiao Chen gave a muffled groan and a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth.

“Lord!”

“Don’t worry about m, continue,” Xiao Chen said with blood in his mouth. His breath was getting weaker and weaker. At the last moment, he finally could not hold on any longer. His eyes darkened and he fell to the side and fell on Chu Qi.

Chu Qi’s True Energy had been severely damaged and she did not have much strength left. Under his weight, she could not push him away at that moment. Now that she was pressed against Xiao Chen’s boiling hot skin, she remembered the scene of those two people. She could not help but frown and climb out difficultly. Just as she was about to stand up, darkness came over her eyes. She also fainted and fell on Xiao Chen.

The next morning, when they woke up, they found that they were lying together. They immediately separated from each other. Chu Qi tidied up her clothes and returned to her usual appearance.

Xiao Chen sat up and put on his clothes. He ran his Qi slightly and found that his cultivation was still there. He then let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was nothing serious. Now he thought about it carefully. Yesterday, those two people were very strange. They seemed to be talking about some secret and ghost map, and it seemed to have something to do with Shui Yue.

“Are you feeling better, Lord?” asked Chu Qi.

“Oh, it’s nothing serious. What about you?”

“I’m fine.”

After arranging his thoughts, Xiao Chen got up and looked into the depths of the cave. It was so dark that he could not see the end of it. He thought that it was just an accident last night. Now that those two people had their Soul’s Life Source in his hands, he was sure that they would not dare to make it public. He could not give up now no matter what now. The Wisdom-forsaking Technique had to continue.

“Find some vines and thorns to cover the entrance. We’ll go in deeper later.”

…

The next five days passed. Their original plan was to take three days, but the incident with the two people had cost them twice the time. Fortunately, Xiao Chen had succeeded in the Wisdom-forsaking Technique, and now his cultivation had returned to the first level of Nirvana Realm.

However, at this time, he could clearly feel that this first level of Nirvana Realm was much purer than the last time when he and Su Lianyue had just entered the Nirvana Realm in the mystic domain in the flower valley. This was exactly the subtlety of the Wisdom-forsaking Technique.

On this day, Xiao Chen consumed another 30 Mystic Stone and tempered his cultivation grade to Medium. At least he felt that he should be at the Medium. If he was at the Qi Refining Realm or the Foundation Building Realm, there might be no obvious difference between the Medium and the Lower. But in the Nirvana Realm, there was an obvious difference. The further he went, the more obvious the difference would be.

The first level of cultivation grade was divided into Lower, Medium, Upper. The second level had a qualitative leap, which was divided into Cave Ruins, Mystic Sky, and supreme.

Right now, the Cave Ruins still seemed very far to reach for him. It was difficult to find even one person with such a level in the entire Wastelands. Even those disciples of Cloud Mist Academy on the Heaven Ranking were most likely Medium or Mid-Upper.

“This Mystic Stone does have its own specialty. Take some, Chu Qi.” Xiao Chen thought that although Chu Qi was fast, after all, her strength was not enough. So she was no match for Bai Ling last time. But when her cultivation grade and level came up, she could only be described as “frightening” at that time.

“Oh.” Chu Qi did not refuse but just nodded.

“Well, I don’t know how Tianyu and Xuanxuan are now. Let’s go and have a look at the cultivation area today.”

When the two came out of the cave, the sun had just risen outside. They rode on their swords and went to the front mountain.

At this time, in the newcomer’s cultivation area at the back mountain of the main peak, a lot of people were gathered on the open space of the teleportation formation. In the center, dozens of young people and some girls were surrounded by more than a hundred people.

The ones who were being surrounded in the middle were the disciples of the Wind-heeding Pavilion. The one leading them was Qin Tianyu and the others. As for the over a hundred people outside, they were the disciples of the Purple Thunder Pavilion.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Once you handed it over today, we’ll pretend that nothing happened today. If you don’t… If you don’t hand it over, then you can forget about going to the training island!” The leader, a purple-clothed youth, sneered.

Qin Tianyu clenched his fist so hard that his knuckles were creaking. At this moment, there were several obvious bruises on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, “You want us to hand Mystic Stone after absorbing the Spiritual Qi from our side? Let’s not talk nonsense. If you have the guts, we’ll fight again today! Do you think that I’m afraid of you having more people on your side?”

“Tianyu… Let’s forget it. Now that Brother Xiao Chen and Sister Chu Qi not here, we can’t beat them…” Chu Xuanxuan, the quieter girl next to him whispered.

Xu Ling’er squeezed her fingers and glared at the disciples of the Purple Thunder Pavilion. “Now that our Senior Brother Xiao isn’t here, you dare to bully us. If you have the ability, wait for Senior Brother Xiao to come back, then you can talk about it!”

“Xiao Chen?” The young man in purple scoffed. “Don’t say he’s not here. Even if he’s here!” His expression turned grim as he pointed to the bottom of his feet. “If I make him kneel today, he won’t dare to get up!”

“Say it again…” Qin Tianyu clenched his fist so hard that his knuckles creaked. His voice grew more and more gloomy.

A man next to the purple-clothed youth sneered and said, “Why? What’s wrong with saying it again? Last time, that guy was beaten by Bai Ling. Now, he is afraid to come to the training area, isn’t he?”

“You’re bullshitting!” Qin Tianyu in a low voice. His entire body immediately explodes with a layer of golden light. With a kick of his feet, he charges at that young man like a flash of lightning. However, with a loud bang, he was sent flying back by a kick of the young man’s foot.

“Tianyu!” Xu Ling’er immediately propped him up. No matter how talented he was, he was still only at the peak of the Core Forming Realm now. Compared to his opponent who was at the early Nascent Soul stage, he was still quite a distance away.

At this moment, Shen Qianye, who had remained silent all this while, suddenly took a step forward. He circulated his True Energy in his palm and pressed it against Qin Tianyu’s shoulder. He then looked over at the Purple Thunder Pavilion and said coldly, “I’ve already given you a lot of Mystic Stones yesterday. Humans, must learn to be content.”

Compared to Qin Tianyu, he appeared to be much calmer. Although he was currently only at the peak of the Core Forming Realm, when he said those words, a chill started to rise from the back of the surrounding onlookers.

Especially that pair of black eyes, which were as deep as the night without stars and moon, made people feel inexplicably cold.

Just like that, the crowd suddenly quieted down after hearing Shen Qianye’s words.

At this time, a young man came from another direction. He looked at the other side of the Purple Thunder Pavilion and said, “Both parties have suffered losses in this matter. Moreover, they have already compensated you a lot of Mystic Stones yesterday. We’re in the same sect. Why don’t we just let it go? We don’t want to put the Grandmasters in a dilemma by bringing it to them.”
