Chapter Five: Dispelling Internal Energy

  Bai Xiao Zhuang, inside the pharmacy.

  The owner of the pharmacy refused to say:

  "I'm terribly sorry, Chen Yuan, but you are no longer a member of Bai Xiao Zhuang and have no right to purchase any medicinal herbs or pills in this store."

  "Boss? When was I no longer a member of Bai Xiao Zhuang?" Chen Yuan's face turned solemn, he knew that Bai Xiao Zhuang couldn't accommodate him, but he didn't expect the other party to start driving him out so quickly.

  "Just yesterday." At this time, a loud and clear voice came from outside the pharmacy: "Chen Yuan, a resident of No. 75 Baixiao Village, refused to pay the medical contribution points for his injuries, seriously violating the rules of Baixiao Village, with extremely bad behavior. From now on, he is expelled from Baixiao Village and will never be allowed to enter again."

  He walked up to Chen Yuan with a sly smile on his face, holding out a letter written by the master of the manor. "Chen Yuan, take a good look at this. This is personally written by Master Manor himself, and you've been kicked out. Originally, your family's Patriarch Yu wanted to go to your house to drive you away, but he didn't expect you to get up so early. Want to buy medicine? Leaf shopkeeper, how can our Hundred Knowledges Manor's pharmacy not do business with outsiders? Just sell some medicinal materials to this loser at ten times the price! Otherwise, people will say that our Hundred Knowledges Manor lacks resources and doesn't even have any medicine to sell!"

  "Alright! From now on, Zhu Changrong (the master of Bai Xiao Village), you can't tolerate me, but I'm not interested in this kind of oppression and exploitation of the residents, being selfish and greedy, with a heart full of desires. This place is not worthy of me, there are other places that will welcome me. From today on, I, Chen Yuan, officially leave Bai Xiao Village!"

  Chen Yuan was also furious, and with a wave of his hand, he pulled out the residence permit from the hemp bag. His true energy converged, merging with the primordial energy of the Nine Mystical Serpent. The iron permit, forged from cold iron, shattered in his hand with just one squeeze.

  A piece of iron pierced the palm, fresh blood dripping down, Chen Yuan completely ignored the injury to his palm, shook his hand and walked out of the pharmacy, heading towards the outside of the village.

  Chen Yuan's move directly crushed the cold iron token, causing Yu Guanshi to feel a sudden palpitation in his heart. However, thinking of this kid's arrogance, he suddenly felt a burning fire in his heart and chased after him.

  "Does he think he can just destroy things in our village and walk out unscathed?"

  As soon as the sound fell, a flame palm shot out from his hand and rushed towards Chen Yuan with a loud roar.

  "Hmm! Firefly's glow!" Chen Yuan had long expected that it wouldn't be easy to leave, and with a punch, fierce flames burst forth, instantly dispersing the Flame Palm from just now.

  "You little scoundrel is about to break through the middle stage of actual cultivation!" Yu Xian felt the opponent's firepower, which was stronger than his own, and suddenly changed color, not daring to make a move.

  He relied on his identity as the big uncle of Bai Xiao Zhuang's master, and had been rampant in the village, pretending to be a tiger. Although he was also in the middle of his actual cultivation, he didn't have much actual combat experience at all. Chen Yuan, on the other hand, had to fight for survival, often appearing and disappearing in the demon beast forest, fighting with demon beasts, and competing with people for crystal stones. He could be said to have been through a hundred battles, so naturally, he took the upper hand in this exchange.

  At this time, a team of guards in the village felt the true energy fluctuation and ran over. Yu Xian's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted: "Captain Jia, quickly capture Chen Yuan! This son has violated the rules of the village and is extremely evil to me, take him down and throw him into the dungeon!"

  Naja and his gang of snakes naturally wouldn't ask about the truth, and upon hearing this, they immediately brought five subordinates to rush towards Chen Yuan.

  "A good man doesn't take a loss in front of his eyes. Captain Jia has actually been training in secret, and he also has five helpers. I'm not a match for him!" Chen Yuan glanced at Captain Jia and the others, no longer wanting to fight, circulated his true energy, and rushed out of the village quickly.

  "Don't let him get away!" Yu Xian shouted from behind, and the people on the road to the manor gate all cheered loudly.

  But most passersby showed disgust towards them, and when Chen Yuan escaped, no one helped.

  "Bai Xiao Zhuang really can't get people's hearts." Seeing such a scene, Chen Yuan was relieved and even more determined to eliminate the master of Bai Xiao Zhuang and Yu Guan Shi. After all, he had lived here for many years, his friends and neighbors were all here, how could he let them continue to suffer from bullying.

  He sprinted all the way, Chen Yuan obtained the Nine Profound Divine Serpent's yuanqi, his speed was even faster than Jia Duizhang in the Real Immortal Realm. He directly chose to rush into the forest, he had spent many years hunting and killing demonic beasts within it, so he was extremely familiar with the environment of the forest, and quickly shook off the pursuing soldiers.

  Leaning against a giant tree, Chen Yuan was panting heavily, although he couldn't hear the sound of pursuit, but to guard against accidents, he was still being extremely cautious.

  Until his breathing became smooth and there was still no movement behind him, he finally felt at ease.

  Sitting on the grass with a thud, Chen Yuan opened his hemp sack.

  。

  Inside, there are fifteen first-class demon soul crystals, and also a second-order fireline snake crystal.

  Other first-class medicinal herbs and materials are not worth much either.

  "I'm really poor." Chen Yuan laughed at himself. With these family assets, even if he went to other manors, he was afraid that he still couldn't afford the medicine for protecting the heart meridian.

  But it is said that Bai Xiao Zhuang has already informed other manors and even laid an ambush at the entrance of other manors, waiting for them to deliver themselves.

  "I managed to escape today, fortunately Zhu Changrong didn't make a move, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get out. But with only nine days left before the tide of evil spirits bursts forth, the aura of the soul-summoning grass on my body will also burst forth after nine days, and it's bound to attract a large number of evil beasts to attack. Now that the manor's array is no longer protecting me, how can I avoid the tide of evil spirits? For now, I have no choice but to endure the pain of dispersing my cultivation and switch to practicing the yin-yang refining demon god technique. Then, I'll head to the outskirts of the Youming Forest to hunt and kill evil beasts, condense their demonic souls, and exchange them for a one-time battle array diagram on the jade tablet, so that I can set up an array to protect myself."

  Chen Yuan thought in his heart, now there is no way to retreat.

  There is no Heart-Protecting Elixir, so he can only risk dispersing his Qi by force.

  "Success or failure depends on my own will. If I can't even endure this little pain, how can I reach a higher level in the future?"

  Chen Yuanyi's palm rose and hovered above his head, a resolute glint in his eyes.

  "Ah!"

  A loud shout, a palm chopped down.

  Boom!

  The true energy enters the hundred meetings, like a thousand rivers rushing to the top of the head.

  The three yang fires in the body are suddenly stimulated and run wildly everywhere.

  Overwhelming pain fills the entire body, skin abnormally crimson red, as if branded with a hot iron.

  Chen Yuan gritted his teeth and endured the pain of dispersing his Qi.

  I must endure!

  Endure! Endure! Endure!

  This little pain is nothing

  ！

  This little hardship is nothing!

  To eat bitter is to become a great man!

  I am Chen Yuan, and I refuse to spend my entire life as a low-ranking minor repairman.

  Being bullied and unable to fight back.

  Being framed can only be endured silently.

  I want to rebel, I want those who owe me to pay the price.

  I want to defy the heavens, trample through the nine skies, and point directly at eternal life!

  Spiritual determination, explosive release of energy.

  In the quiet forest, silently grinding away at the ravages of time.

  Slowly, the Three Yangs' fire from seven years of bitter cultivation dissipated.

  Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and fell on Chen Yuan, who had already entered a state of tranquility.

  Fine sunshine gathers in the elixir field, soothing the wounds all over the body.

  The sun sets and the moon rises, the crow caws at night.

  The moonlight is scattered, and the yin energy gathers.

  On Chen Yuan's head, a silver snake coiled, swallowing the moon with its mouth open. The moonlight was woven into threads, forming the power of yin, which merged into his dantian filled with yang energy.

  Yin and yang mutually overcome and generate each other, then slowly merge together...

  "Hmm..."

  A mouthful of turbid air was exhaled, exhaling the various pains brought by San Gong, exhaling the residual gas of the Three Yang fires, and exhaling the new spiritual energy born from the fusion of yin and yang.

  After one day and night, welcome new morning again.

  At this moment, Chen Yuan has undergone a complete transformation. Yesterday's pain and despair have completely dissipated. A silver snake-like symbol is coiled between his eyebrows, revealing an extraordinary and transcendent aura.

  "The Yin-Yang Cultivation Demon God Technique is truly extraordinary. The quality of the true energy in this first realm, the Yuan Chu Realm, is more than ten times stronger than the Three Yang Gathering Fire Technique. Although I have not yet broken through to the middle stage of actual cultivation, even if I were to reach the late stage or even the peak, I would still be able to hold my own!"
