Chapter 44: Poisoned!
"Thank you?"
Chu Yan's mind was full of questions. He could tell that Liu Yueying's gratitude was sincere, but why did she want to thank him? Was it because he had saved her life?
Absolutely not. Chu Yan immediately vetoed this idea. If he was going to thank her, he would have done so long ago. So what was he thanking her for now? Was it for hitting him that time? No way!
Chu Yan could not have imagined that his words and actions the day before had completely changed Liu Yueming's fate. Since childhood, Liu Yueming had received boundless love and favor, and with her unique cultivation method, she had never experienced such things. Unexpectedly, Chu Yan's mistaken blows actually helped her, and the realm that she would have found difficult to reach in her entire life was suddenly broken through.
"The dish tastes good!"
Chuyan slowly regained his composure and saw only the back of Liu Yueming. When he looked at the dishes on the table, more than half of them had been eaten.
A moment later:
"Boss, we've got everything ready!"
A drop of blood in the sea of consciousness of Chuyan trembled with a faint light, and a voice entered Chuyan's ears.
Chu Yan walked out of the wooden house, and Zhang Jie, Zhou Yi, and Wang Qi were already standing respectfully outside the door.
"Boss, here are the clothes you wanted, all in styles from Tianyi Clothing Store and in white as per your request."
Zhang Jie handed over a thick package from his hand to Chu Yan, while his face was somewhat strange.
"I'm telling you, can't you look at me with a different expression? I bought it for someone else!"
Chu Yan looked at these three guys with a sly appearance and felt somewhat depressed.
"Boss, don't worry, we understand. This matter will be kept confidential among us three!"
On Monday, Zhou Yi gave Chu Yan a certain expression. After several days of getting along, the three people found that Chu Yan was not difficult to get close to. Although there was a blood oath contract on him, Chu Yan did not oppress the three people at all. This made the three people have a very good impression of Chu Yan. Although the contract was still uncomfortable, they were no longer as nervous as when they first started.
"This 'Blazing Flame Formula' is also a family heirloom of the Wang clan, containing all the cultivation techniques from the first to thirteenth layer of the Qi Refining stage."
Wang Qi handed a fire-attribute skill manual to Chu Yan.
"This is fifty spirit stones, you take it..."
"Boss, that outfit isn't even worth a few spirit stones!"
"That's our family's secret technique! You can take a look at it if you want, Elder Brother. What's with the mention of spirit stones?"
The three of them wouldn't let Chu Yan say any more and refused to accept the Ling Stone. They turned around and left on their swords.
Chu Yan smiled slightly and turned into the house...
"Miss Liu, I've bought the clothes you wanted!"
Chu Yan stood outside the door, and after a moment, the wooden door was gently opened.
"Thank you!"
Liu Yu Ying took the clothes from Chu Yan's hand, and never intended to let Chu Yan enter the room.
"And this bottle of Qi Gathering Pill, it should be of some help in accelerating your cultivation, young lady!"
"Thank you!"
Liu Yu Ying took over the jade bottle from Chu Yan's hand and closed the door, walking into her own room.
This time, Chu Yan won the first place in the internal competition of Feng Nei Xiao Bi. The rewards were 500 Ling Stones, a high-quality magic weapon, and a bottle of Jue Qi Dan. Jue Qi Dan was deeply loved by cultivators in the Qi Refining stage because it could enhance their absorption of heaven and earth spiritual energy. Since Chu Yan had already possessed the Spirit Liquid, this thing naturally became useless to him, so he simply gave it away as a personal favor.
Chu Yan returned to his room and eagerly took out the "Blazing Flame Technique". Chu Yan knew well the principle of not being greedy, so he first chose to cultivate the fire attribute technique.
"The fire condenses, sensing the essence of fire between heaven and earth, taking a single strand from the myriad and condensing it within the body, gathering in the dan Tian..."
Chu Yan silently recited the incantation in his mouth, following the "Lieu Yan Jue" to start running the Qi method.
A moment later.
More than ten bright red light spots surrounded Chu Yan's surroundings.
"Who would have thought it would turn out like this!"
Chu Yan opened his eyes, a look of wild joy on his face. He hadn't expected that his cultivation of the Blazing Flame Technique would be five or six times faster than the Xuan Heavy Water Technique.
At this speed, within a month, Chu Yan was confident that he could condense his first wisp of fire attribute spiritual energy.
"What is the reason for this?"
Chu Yan was somewhat perplexed in his heart, although he had a five-spirit root, it wasn't evenly distributed among the five elements. Except for the water spirit root which occupied six layers, the other four types of spirit roots only had one layer each. Logically speaking, cultivating the other four elemental techniques should be extremely slow, and it was impossible to progress this quickly.
"Ah!"
A painful cry interrupted Chu Yan's thoughts.
Chu Yan's body shook and he hastily ran towards Liu Yueying's room.
"Willow girl, what's wrong?"
"Ah... cruel..."
"I'm going in!"
Chu Yan pushed open the door and suddenly changed his face.
Liu Yu's body was dressed in a white shirt, lying on the ground, with dozens of dark blue toxic stripes appearing on his face, and his hands covering his throat, his expression painful.
Chu Yan quickly helped Liu Yueying up and anxiously asked: "Liu girl, how did this happen?"
"Poison..."
Liu Yu Ying forced out this sentence, her face even more painful.
Chu Yan looked at the scattered Gathering Spirit Pills on the ground and his face suddenly changed greatly.
P.S: Xiao Qian still gets up at 6 am to code, but after seeing yesterday's click-through rate, I'm slightly disappointed. Your support is the driving force behind my coding, thank you all!
