Chapter 10: Business Flourishing
Having adjusted his breath for a mont, Wang Chen got up, ready to leave.
Just as he turned around,
an unexpected change occurred!
Two masses of dark light suddenly burst from the ground, swooping towards Wang Chen from the left and the right.
Their speed was comparable to that of arrows!
This trick again?
Despite the abruptness of the attack, Wang Chen, who had killed a Monsterized Earth Rhino the day before, was well-prepared.
He suddenly clenched his fists, with mana instantly gathering in his arms.
Mighty Strength Technique!
In the blink of an eye, Wang Chen’s arms swelled rapidly, his muscles bulging and veins popping, his skin flushed with a purplish-red hue!
“Kill!”
He swung his fist, and his mana-infused iron fist hit the two masses of dark light squarely.
Bang! Bang!
Two massive Monsterized Earth Rhinos were sent flying simultaneously.
On Wang Chen’s fists, a bloody cut appeared on each.
Bright red blood gushed out.
Bearing the intense pain, Wang Chen’s tightly clenched right fist shot out two fingers.
His sword finger targeted the disoriented Monsterized Earth Rhino to his right!
“Swift!”
The sharp Geng tal Qi struck the Monsterized Earth Rhino, piercing its body rcilessly.
That Monsterized Earth Rhino imdiately lost its balance and plumted to the ground.
This strike, which Wang Chen executed with all his mana, exhibited the full power of the Mastery Level Geng tal Finger.
“Squeak!”
Seeing the situation turn dire, the other Monsterized Earth Rhino made a booming sound and dove towards the Spirit Fields,
clearly attempting to escape.
Without a second thought, Wang Chen executed another sword finger with practiced ease.
Another streak of Qi flashed by.
The second Monsterized Earth Rhino had been cleaved in two upon landing.
Decapitated!
Wang Chen exhaled a murky breath, his face turning extrely pale.
He staggered, almost falling on the ridges of the field.
If the first finger strike was deliberate, the second was entirely a subconscious action,
which had thoroughly drained all of Wang Chen’s mana.
At this mont, his Dantian was utterly depleted, leaving him without the ability to cast any spells.
He imdiately started to regulate his breath in order to accumulate a trace of mana again.
Then he opened his Storage Bag.
First, he took out so antiseptic dicine and applied it to the wounds on his fists.
The horns of the Earth Rhino were sharp, and those of the Monsterized Earth Rhino were exceptionally so.
Even though Wang Chen had activated the Mighty Strength Technique to reinforce his fists, he had still been wounded.
Fortunately, the bone in his fingers was intact.
And the Monsterized Earth Rhino carried no poison.
After treating his wounds, he took out a leftover ball of Spirit Rice from lunch.
He wolfed it down.
At last, he felt a bit of his strength returning.
With so of his mana restored, Wang Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He was still shaken.
He had anticipated the possibility of an ambush by a Monsterized Earth Rhino, but he didn’t expect two to erge this ti.
He had nearly capsized in the gutter.
He needed to strengthen his physique!
Grasping his still-aching fist, Wang Chen thought about whether he should practice a Body Tempering Technique.
His physique was only at 4 points.
Although stronger than his Root Bone and Comprehension, he was still far from shaking off the label of a physical weakling.
At present, Wang Chen was still unclear on how to obtain the “life-changing” Heavenly rit, but he thought that practicing a Body Tempering Technique should probably increase his Physique attribute.
As he thought about it, he started picking up the carcasses of the Monsterized Earth Rhinos and put them into his Storage Bag.
These were all Spirit Stones!
Of course, Wang Chen hadn’t forgotten to check his cultivation panel.
He had been so intensely focused earlier that he didn’t notice the ssages in his field of vision.
The skill points for Geng tal Finger had increased by 2 points,
and so had his Human Virtue by 2 points!
Wang Chen imdiately broke into a smile.
At this rate,
he could soon advance his Geng tal Finger to the Minor Achievent Realm.
By then, not to ntion a Monsterized Earth Rhino, even facing a Monster Beast, he would have the power to fight.
Aweso!
Boom~
Just at that mont, a deep and distant bell sound entered Wang Chen’s ears.
It’s 17 p.m.
This bell sound ca from Cloud Mountain City, originating from the Fixed Sun Bell within the Star Observation Pavilion.
It is said that the Fixed Sun Bell is a tier three Magical Treasure made by a Golden Core True Person, situated at the main hub of the City Protecting Great Array of Cloud Mountain, automatically ringing every two hours, its sound traveling within a hundred-mile radius.
Anyone who hears the Fixed Sun Bell will imdiately know the current ti.
Furthermore, the bell can also transmit simple ssages to the cultivators of Cloud Sun Sect through its chi.
Alerts, summons, celebrations, mourning…
But the greatest function of this Magical Treasure is to deter and expel Evil Wraiths!
That’s why one would hear the Fixed Sun Bell’s sound twelve tis a day.
It isn’t disturbing in the least; instead, it brings a sense of security and stability.
Stepping into the remaining glow of the sunset, Wang Chen returned to his ho.
Today’s harvest was substantial; he had earned over a dozen Spirit Stones, and with his bulging wallet, he was in high spirits as he picked out a large bowl of insect at and threw it into the frying pan.
Ti to change up the flavor.
The fragrant sll of frying at quickly attracted the White Fur Rat and Brocade Fur Rat couple.
Although they didn’t bring any more Spirit Stones to mooch a al, Wang Chen still happily wrapped up two insect at rice balls for them.
Of course, it was just ordinary insect at.
Only those with a Flower Spirit Stone were the masters; without Spirit Stones, they shouldn’t expect VIP treatnt.
The at of the two Monsterized Earth Rhinos, this ti, was for his own enjoynt!
As expected from elite monsters, the Monsterized Earth Rhino’s at was much more tender and chewy than that of an ordinary Earth Rhino.
And it contained much more abundant Spiritual Energy.
Wang Chen ate to his heart’s content.
But it was only during his routine post-dinner cultivation ti that he discovered damage in his body’s ridians.
It ached faintly whenever he circulated his Qi.
This was the aftereffect of frequently activating the Geng tal Finger!
Geng tal Qi was the most damaging to the body.
So, cultivators like Old Sun, an elder Spiritual Plant Farr, would rather pay Spirit Stones to hire Wang Chen to eliminate the Earth Rhinos than do it themselves.
Otherwise, if there were problems with their ridians, the cost of buying Pills for treatnt would far exceed a dozen Lower Spirit Stones.
Wang Chen’s Geng tal Finger had already broken through to the Mastery Level.
However, his Cultivation was still stuck at Qi Cultivation third tier, and he had not practiced any Body Tempering Technique to strengthen his Physique.
His body’s ridians, naturally, could not fully withstand the intense bursts of Geng tal Qi Energy!
This damage was clearly caused by dealing with the two Monsterized Earth Rhinos.
Fortunately, Wang Chen was still young, and his body was in the growth phase.
The Five Elents Skill he cultivated was harmonious and balanced, able to soothe the agitation of Mana and had a slight healing effect.
Together with the Spiritual Energy nourishnt from the Monsterized Earth Rhino’s at,
the damage to his ridians was quickly repaired.
But Wang Chen felt that finding a Cultivation Technique that cultivated both the body and the spirit was now urgent!
He would go to Cloud Mountain City tomorrow to look for one.
However, as well-planned as Wang Chen’s schedule was,
the next morning, before it was fully light, Old Sun was already knocking on his door.
“Doggie! Doggie! Doggie~”
Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!
Wang Chen hastily got dressed and went to open the door.
He saw Old Sun with an excited expression: “Doggie, Lu’s family also got infested by insects.”
“They’ve already negotiated with , asking you to hurry over and deal with it.”
Wang Chen was astonished: “Go now?”
He hadn’t brushed his teeth or washed his face and was thinking about heading to the city in the morning to buy a Cultivation Technique.
“I’ve already accepted their deposit!”
Old Sun stomped his foot: “Their forty-five mu of Spirit Fields are infested with Earth Rhinos, certainly more than at my place, a big deal indeed!”
Wang Chen: “Uh, let have breakfast first.”
“Spirit Rice balls and Qi Recovery Pills, I’ve prepared them all for you!”
For a 20% commission, Old Sun was clearly all in: “After clearing the infestation at Lu’s place, I’ll go to Little Wang’s Family next door. Not picking up Spirit Stones lying on the ground is like inviting a lightning strike from the heavens!”
And so, Wang Chen, who hadn’t even had ti to brush his teeth, was directly dragged away by Old Sun.
