Chapter 10: Divine Thunder of Creation, Breaking Through the Grinding Machine

  It has to be said that Muramasa's speed is quite fast, or rather, it's a matter of taking people by surprise. The provincial government office quickly approved the documents.

  Chen Jiu looked at the document in his hand and smiled at Muramasa: "Thank you, Muramasa, for your help. Please also help my brother to buy a house."

  Village head nodded, then took out another document: "Old Wang from the village head's house, and Xiaoliuzi, as well as Gou Dan's three families have relatively good houses. When you're free, go take a look. If it suits you, just sign on this deed."

  Chen Jiu has been busy these past few days, wandering around the village all day. Although he can't say he knows the village like the back of his hand, he's got a pretty good feel for it now.

  The three families' house deeds were indeed the best, Chen Jiu signed without hesitation and handed over thirty taels of silver to the village chief for payment. As for whether the village chief would take a kickback or not, that was no longer something Chen Jiu could concern himself with.

  Looking at the three house deeds, Chen Jiulang chuckled and pulled out one of them: "I'll take Xia Liu's, their family is in the far east, too far from the village center. If you two get married and run to the village every day, it will be too much trouble."

  Saying that, he handed over the other two deeds to Chen Zhong and Xiao Pangzi: "You two discuss and divide these deeds".

  After finishing speaking, I walked out of the house and saw the old woman standing in the yard: "Auntie, now we also have a house, we will move out tonight, if you are free, come to our place to take a look".

  "After finishing speaking, he looked at Xiao Pangzi and Chen Zhong who walked out: "You two can divide the silver now, I still have 100 taels on me, which is enough to use"."

  Xiao Pangzi nodded upon hearing this, not being polite at all: "Thank you Ninth Brother, thank you Ninth Brother".

  This guy is really shameless, actually calling me brother just for a little money.

  That one package of silver is not to mention, ten thousand taels are still available, but Chen Jiu doesn't care. After a night's thinking last night, Chen Jiu has temporarily set a goal for himself. Since he has the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation, he will continue to move forward. As for how far he can go, it is not something that Chen Jiu can control, and can only be seen by chance.

  Chen Jiulian smiled lightly: "Alright, I'll go take a look at my own house first and hurry up to sweep it clean, otherwise there won't be any way for people to stay tonight".

  After finishing speaking, he slowly and leisurely walked towards the east of the village head's house.

  Looking at this somewhat old and worn-out wooden house, Chen Jiuyi smiled lightly as he walked up to it. He looked at the key, perhaps because no one had returned for a long time, the door lock was already rusty.

  He looked at the key in his hand, turned it left and right, and after great effort, he slowly opened the door.

  The courtyard is a vast expanse of wild grass, some of which has grown as tall as one's knees. Now it's a desolate land, with all the plants and trees dead; otherwise, it would surely be a Hundred Herb Paradise.

  What caught his attention was a well. He gently opened the cover and found clear water inside, which saved Chenjiu the trouble of digging a new one.

  Tried the water bucket for washing, everything is still usable.

  He took out the key and after exerting himself for half a day, he finally opened the front door of the house. Dust flew everywhere, causing Chen Jiu to cough uncontrollably.

  Gently brushing away the dust in front of his eyes with his sleeve, Chen Jiuzhou shook his head: "This house hasn't been lived in for a long time and it's quite troublesome."

  After finishing speaking, Chen Jiou brought in a bucket of water and splashed it on the ground, then casually found a broom and began his own sweeping business.

  The moon was just rising, Chen had already numbed his arm with nine hammer strikes, then looked at the result of his work. It couldn't be said that it was spotless, but at least people could live there without any issues now.

  As for what to burn, there are weeds in the yard and leftover firewood from before that can last for a few days.

  Lit the oil lamp and let out a gentle sigh, this is his new home.

  The cold winter was still very chilly, the north wind howled non-stop, Chen Jiu shrank his body and sat cross-legged on the bed to start his daily necessary cultivation.

  A cultivator values time the least, which is exactly the time spent dozing off. The sky has already lit up, and tonight can't be spent like this anymore.

  Just as he was thinking, he heard a knock at the door. He opened it to find Chen Zhong and Pao Zi standing in front of him. Pao Zi looked around excitedly at Chen Jiu's new home, then raised an eyebrow: "There's no food now, I discussed with Boss Chen and we're planning to go up the mountain to hunt some game, and also gather firewood while we're at it. Do you want to come along?"

  "Go on, why don't you go? My stomach is growling with hunger."

  Chopping firewood is easy, and hunting is not difficult either. Although Chen Jiu doesn't know martial arts, Zhong Shu and this fat man's combat power values are not low.

  Chen Jiou was dragging a bundle of firewood, Zhong Shu was carrying a wild ox, and Xiao Pangzi was dragging a wild boar.

  "Winter is here and I don't have to worry about the food going bad, these should last for a while." Chen Jiuxi smiled as he looked at the meat behind him.

  Fat boy panted and looked at Chen Jiu: "Alas, there are no shops near this broken place, why bother working so hard?"

  Chen Jiuyi smiled and didn't say a word, while Zhong Shu remained silent as usual.

  Time flies, Chen Jiusan and the others have been in this village for some time now. Pàngzi and Zhōngshū are already married, both with two lovely daughters who, although from a farming family, possess an unassuming charm that those ladies from wealthy families lack.

  After a period of practice, Chen Jiu's hidden illness had improved a lot, and his body began to develop slowly, no longer as dark and thin as before.

  Especially a pair of eyes is bright, vaguely has a layer of flowing light appears, making people dare not look straight, even has a kind of compelling feeling.

  Although I said I recently washed the dog, Chen Jiu's troubles have also arrived. Every day, washing and grooming makes my whole body smell strange, resulting in having to take a bath every morning.

  It's nothing to say about taking a bath normally, but in this world of bitter cold winter, it's not the era of global warming from past life. The whole day is freezing and shivering, with a runny nose all day long.

  He took a sip of ginger soup and smiled to himself as he watched the smoke from cooking fires gradually rising in the mountain village.

  After slowly finishing the ginger soup, Chen Jiu began his own breakfast, a bowl of meat porridge. Thanks to Zhong Shu and Pangzi going hunting in the mountains every day, they didn't run out of meat this winter, and Chen Jiu's physical energy was also greatly guaranteed.

  Looking at his slightly pale skin, Chen Jiu nodded self-satisfied: "It's finally got some of the looks from my past life".

  Leaning against the doorframe, Chen Jiuzhong stood quietly watching as Qiming Xing disappeared into the distance, the first wisps of purple energy filling the entire sky.

  He couldn't care about the food in his mouth, Chen Jiu took a fierce suck at the purple gas in the distance, and strands of purple gas entered Chen Jiu's Purple Mansion Primordial Spirit.

  The warm feeling is just great, looking at the smiling face of the sun, Chen Jiuzi washed his bowl and chopsticks, standing quietly in the yard, gazing up at the vastness of the sky, looking down at the completeness of all things, even Chen Jiuzi could feel through his breath the ants hiding underground for winter.

  With a snap of his fingers, Chen Jiu's mouth curled up into an inexplicable smile: "As the grass grows and the swallows fly, amidst the thunderstorms of spring lies the grand creation of life and destruction. Although it's still some time before the first spring thunder sounds, that doesn't mean we can't prepare early. Cultivation is not something to be taken lightly, after all. The moment the first spring thunder sounds will be my breakthrough."

  Chen Jiou had long prepared his clothes, dry rations, hunting knife, and bow and arrow, and after leaving a letter behind, he set off towards the distant mountains with his treasure.

  To feel the divine thunder that is full of life and destruction at close range, the only way is to stand as high as possible.

  The big mountain, the largest mountain near this village is Chen Jiu's only choice. Although there are some fierce beasts in the mountain, Chen Jiu is not afraid because he has already prepared everything that needs to be prepared.

  The grass is growing and the swallows are flying, spring is already very close.

  Chen Jiulai has been in these deep mountains for over a month, and even three days ago, Chen Jiulai had scattered the feces of black bears in this area to prevent wild beasts from entering and disturbing his breakthrough.

  Chen Jiu has been fasting since yesterday, and the only thing he needs to do every day is to constantly feel the movement of the heavens and the earth, operate his internal energy, quietly feeling the endless sky where life and destruction are evolving and accumulating.

  One day, two days, three days, on the sixth day, the sky suddenly changed, and Chen Jiugong's eyes burst out with a divine light: "It has come."

  "Please recommend and collect it, thank you everyone."
