Chapter 10: A Sharpening Stone Delivered to the Door

  Five days later, Qin Chuan put on his complete set of sect leader attire and floated down the mountain. Along the path Chen Bo had told him, he headed towards Green Willow Town.

  After practicing "Wu Xing Gui Zhen Jue" for many days, Qin Chuan's body became increasingly strong and healthy. A journey of over a hundred miles was completed in just half a day.

  When Chen Bo first took Heng Er down the mountain, he had agreed with Qin Chuan to meet at the hundred-year-old willow tree outside Lvyang Town. When Qin Chuan found the big willow tree, he indeed saw Chen Bo and Heng Er waiting under the tree.

  However, to Qin Chuan's surprise, Chen Bo was full of worry and his eyebrows were tightly furrowed. Heng Er was even more unusual, with a blue nose and a swollen face, as if he had been beaten up badly.

  "What's wrong, Uncle Chen? What happened to Heng'er?" Qin Chuan immediately sensed that something was amiss upon seeing the two of them.

  Chen Bo saw Qin Chuan, his face showed a guilty look, and he said in a low voice: "Alas, Master, the old slave is incompetent, things are not going well, and I didn't communicate well with Wang Ye Wai..."

  Hong'er, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but interrupt: "Master, it's not that Chen Bo is incompetent, it's just that Wang Yuanwai is being arrogant and doesn't take our Huayuemen seriously!"

  Chen Bo was a very dedicated person. Whatever the master entrusted to him, no matter what reason, as long as it wasn't done well, he would only blame himself and never make excuses for himself. Qin Chuan had been with him for a short time, but he already understood his temperament. So he didn't ask Chen Bo again, instead turning to ask Heng Er: "Heng Er, you tell me, what exactly happened?"

  Heng'er was clever and quick-witted, with a sharp tongue that poured out the whole story like beans spilling from a bamboo tube: "Reporting to the leader, after we arrived in Green Willow Town, Chen Bo first bought a gift and then went to visit Wang Yuanwai, explaining our intentions. But unexpectedly, Wang Yuanwai was extremely rude, accepting the gift but driving us out of his house! I couldn't bear it, so I argued with him, and he had his servants beat me up! Moreover, he even boasted that a sect like ours, the Feather Transformation Sect, was nothing but trash, and we were not allowed to swindle people and deceive disciples. If we dared to enter Green Willow Town to recruit disciples, he would drive us out!"

  Qin Chuan's eyes flashed with a hint of cold light after hearing this. A small town's local tyrant, actually dared to provoke the Yuhua Gate like this. If they don't properly boost the gate's prestige this time, in the future they will be even more looked down upon!

  Qin Chuan turned his head and looked around, discovering that there were villagers from the Green Willow Town walking by on the road beside him from time to time.

  Lüliu Town is located in a remote area, and there are usually not many outsiders coming. Qin Chuan's outfit was also very eye-catching, which attracted the attention of local residents. Many people stood far away to watch Qin Chuan and his group.

  Qin Chuan picked out a tall and thin middle-aged man from the crowd, walked up to him, and asked: "Excuse me, fellow villager, do you know Wang Yuanwai from Lvy Town?"

  "It's well-known, well-known. Wang Yuanwai is the richest man in this area, everyone in town knows that." The tall and thin man replied curiously while sizing up Qin Chuan.

  "Alright. Here's the money, trouble you to inform Wang Yuanwai: he beat up the people of Huayemen, this sect leader will not let it go! Tomorrow at noon, if Wang Yuanwai does not personally come here and kneel down to apologize, this sect leader will flatten the Wang family!" Qin Chuan said, handing over some loose silver coins to the tall thin man.

  "Alright, I'll go and inform you right away!" The tall and thin man took the silver coins and ran off quickly.

  Chen Bo walked up from behind and asked in a low voice, "Master, are you going to have a head-on confrontation with Wang Ye Wai?"

  "Of course! Although our Huahua Gate is small in scale, it's not something that anyone can bully at will. Chen Bo, you and Heng Er have been humiliated, tomorrow I will definitely return tenfold for the two of you!"

  "But... Wang Yuanwai is a local magnate, with many servants and guards at his disposal, including some who are skilled in martial arts. Although the head of the household is not afraid, he is still outnumbered and outmatched..." Chen Bo said hesitantly.

  Qin Chuan said with confidence: "Chen Bo, you can rest assured. Everything is under my control."

  According to the records of "Zhongzhou Chronicle", apart from the cultivators, there are also martial artists in various countries of Zhongzhou.

  Unlike the practitioners of spiritual cultivation who absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to refine their bodies, martial artists rely on absorbing nutrients from food to strengthen their bodies. This method is easy to learn and has simple requirements, but it can only reach a very low level.

  Generally speaking, a cultivator who has reached the second layer of Qi Refining is equivalent in strength to the most top-notch martial artists in the secular world.

  A martial artist who has reached the pinnacle of power can become a high-ranking official or a wealthy merchant's bodyguard, or join the military to secure a position. Even a local tyrant like Wang Yun from a remote small town would not have any top-notch masters, even if he could afford to hire some guards.

  Qin Chuan himself had been practicing the "Five Elements Return to Truth" technique for many days, and his strength had increased significantly. He might enter the third layer of the Qi Refining stage at any moment, so he naturally wouldn't take a local landlord seriously.

  However, since he didn't give face, Qin Chuan wouldn't show him mercy either.

  This time going down the mountain was just thinking of making a big noise, to make the prestige of the Huajia Gate even more powerful. Since Wang Yuanwai took the initiative to come and be a whetstone, then satisfy him!

  Seeing Qin Chuan's determination, Chen Bo dared not say more and said in a low voice to Qin Chuan: "Master, what should we do next?"

  "Let's eat!" Qin Chuan snapped his fingers and said two words. "You and Heng Er have been working hard lately, so today at noon, let's find the best restaurant in Lvy Town and I'll treat you to a good meal!"

  "Hurray! Hurray!" Hearing that there's a delicious meal to eat, Heng'er suddenly cheered up and jumped for joy, as if he had completely forgotten the pain on his face.

  Qin Chuan ordered Chen Bo to lead the way, and they went to the best wine house in Lvy Town for dinner. At the same time, the tall and thin man who had received Qin Chuan's silver also brought Qin Chuan's words to Wang Yuanwai's mansion at the first opportunity.

  Not only that, after bringing the news to Wang Yuanwai, the tall and thin man returned to the town and spread it everywhere: Wang Yuanwai had a feud with a sect called Yuhuamen. Now the master of Yuhuamen has come personally to ask for justice, saying he wants to flatten the Yuanwai Mansion!

  So it was passed on from one person to ten, and then from ten to a hundred. Soon, almost all the residents of Green Willow Town knew about this matter.

  In fact, all of this was within Qin Chuan's expectations.

  Find local residents to spread the word, about tomorrow at noon, it was all his intention. He believed that after the tall and thin man finished speaking with Wang Yuanwai, he would not be able to mention it to others again. Must tell acquaintances and relatives to listen. His acquaintances and relatives continued to pass on, without exerting themselves, they could get a huge publicity effect.

  By tomorrow noon, if Wang doesn't come to apologize, he will go straight to the government office and beat him until he begs for mercy in front of everyone.

  In this way, the reputation value required for the sect's upgrade should be able to earn a lot. The name of Yuanyi Sect can also be made known in this area. In the future, when the sect wants to take any action, it will be much more convenient.
