Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 36



Cycle

“How did Sun Shu become an evil thing? He appeared in the city many times before and was even blocked by the Zhang family once. Didn’t the county government have magical items to suppress these evil beings?”

Chen Fei’s mind kept turning, but unfortunately, no one could give him the answer to these questions.

...

“Is Sun Shu still over there?”

“He is, and he’s really injured, but we need to finish this quickly, or other people will come soon after hearing the news.”

“It’s just Sun Shu, I owe you a favor this time!”

“I’ll wait for your good news!”

Suddenly, a faint voice came from the front, and Chen Fei felt something was off. The conversation sounded familiar.

As Chen Fei approached, he saw the group of people in the distance, and his scalp suddenly went numb.

“What the fuck!”

In Chen Fei’s eyes, Zhang Qiang, Zhang Yuezhen, and the others were now in conversation, with a line of guards following behind Zhang Yuezhen. Chen Fei was at the back of the group and he saw himself.

“Sun Shu, he’s here, kill him!”

Zhang Yuezhen suddenly looked toward Chen Fei and shouted loudly, her expression extremely excited. Not only Zhang Yuezhen but those guards and even Zhang Qiang had red eyes and looked at Chen Fei fiercely.

Chen Fei’s figure flashed, and he ran past the group of people that he didn’t know if they were human or ghosts.

“Sun Shu, you can’t run… you can’t run, Chen Fei…”

Zhang Yuezhen’s voice was fading away, and her shout for Sun Shu turned into Chen Fei’s name. Chen Fei instinctively turned around, and the people who were just fine were now covered in blood.

Zhang Yuezhen had a sword wound on her chest, and her left arm was missing. She was now crazily chasing after Chen Fei, and her cold gaze was chilling.

Swift!

Chen Fei’s body movement secret technique was suddenly activated, and his speed increased. The cold aura that had been approaching him was thrown off in an instant.

“Chen Fei… Chen Fei, it hurts… you’re insulting me… I’ll kill you, kill you…”

The crazy, illogical voice came from behind, and Chen Fei didn’t look back, running towards the direction of Pingyin County as fast as he could.

Chen Fei knew he couldn’t handle these anomalies, so he had to go back to Pingyin County to save his life.

Fortunately, Chen Fei’s body movement technique was quite impressive, especially when he was running at full speed, surpassing the Bone Tempering realm and even the evil entities. Just a moment later, Chen Fei saw the city wall of Pingyin County in front of him, and the cold aura behind him had disappeared.

“I finally made it back!”

Entering the city wall, a warm feeling appeared on Chen Fei’s body, and he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

“I have to go to the Zhang family; this matter is quite serious.”

Chen Fei took a breath and thought about what had happened. Zhang’s family would have a headache with this matter. If it wasn’t for the fact that everyone saw him leave with them in the medical hall, Chen Fei would have wanted to avoid this matter.

But there were too many witnesses, and denying it would only raise more suspicions.

Chen Fei found an empty alleyway, patted his chest with his palm, and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he slammed into the ground, bruising his face.

“This should do.”

Chen Fei stood up and bruised his mouth a little. It would look suspicious if he showed up without any injuries.

After a quarter of an hour, Chen Fei arrived at the Zhang family’s house and met with Zhang Sinan.

“What did you say? Everyone is dead!” Zhang Sinan stood up when he heard Chen Fei’s words.

“Sun Shu may have turned into an evil entity.” Chen Fei explained most of what had happened, except for his conflict with Zhang Yuezhen.

Zhang Sinan paced back and forth, frowning. The loss of those guards was not significant for the Zhang family, but it was difficult to accept the death of someone like Zhang Yuezhen, who was in the Bone Tempering realm.

This was especially so if Sun Shu had really turned into an evil entity. The difficulty of resolving this matter would increase significantly.

“Follow me!” Zhang Sinan said and then walked forward, with Chen Fei following behind.

After a while, the two arrived at Zhang Ting’s study.

Chen Fei recounted what had happened, and Zhang Ting was furious, but he did not direct his anger toward Chen Fei. Chen Fei was a pill refiner with a cultivation level in the Skin Toughening realm, and he was lucky enough to have survived. It was impossible to blame him for the responsibility of this incident.

Moreover, a pill refiner was still an important asset to the Zhang family’s medical center.

Zhang Yuezhen, on the other hand, had taken the guards from the North City medical center to search for Sun Shu in order to claim credit, which had resulted in her death. This could also alarm Sun Shu’s side.

In Zhang Ting’s opinion, Zhang Yuezhen’s death was just.

“You have done well. Go down and receive your reward,” Zhang Ting looked at Chen Fei, waved his hand, and let him leave. He then looked at Zhang Sinan and said, “Summon the elders!”

“Yes!” Zhang Sinan nodded and took Chen Fei out.

“What reward do you want?” Zhang Sinan said in a low voice, “You did well, and we always reward those who do well.”

“A body technique manual!” Chen Fei thought for a moment. The recipe for the Light Spirit Pill was out of the question, and the internal energy cultivation method was the Zhang family’s heritage, which was impossible to obtain. Chen Fei had already acquired a sword technique from them during his last reward, but he felt that he could still improve his body technique.

If it weren’t for Chen Fei’s excellent agility, he would have died this time from encountering the evil entity. Therefore, it was prudent to be as strong as possible.

“Okay!” Zhang Sinan glanced at Chen Fei, thinking that he was frightened by the incident, and nodded in agreement.

“Can I choose like last time?” Chen Fei asked.

“Fine!” Zhang Sinan agreed, albeit somewhat impatiently. She called her personal maid, Dan Xiang, to bring her token to retrieve the manuals. Meanwhile, Zhang Sinan went to find the elders of the Zhang family one by one.

After some time in Zhang Sinan’s courtyard.

“Here are three body technique manuals. Eldest miss says you have a quarter of an hour to choose!” Dan Xiang looked at Chen Fei disdainfully. She couldn’t understand how Chen Fei survived when Zhang Yuezhen had died.

“A quarter of an hour?” Chen Fei frowned, as it was not enough time to record the manuals. Chen Fei looked at Dan Xiang’s expression and understood, so he took out five taels of silver from his pocket and handed them to her.

“What are you doing?” Dan Xiang glared at him, wanting to throw the silver away. But feeling the weight of the silver, she hesitated. As Zhang Sinan’s maid, Dan Xiang’s salary was not high, and these five taels of silver would take her a month or two to save up.

“Just three-quarters of an hour, please be lenient,” Chen Fei took out another ten taels of silver and handed them to Dan Xiang, who fell silent and accepted the silver.

Chen Fei smiled and quickly grabbed the manuals.

Half an hour later, Chen Fei left the Zhang family.

[Techniques: One Leaf Crossing (Unfamiliar), Ascending Cloud Steps (Unfamiliar), Three-Fold Wind Stride (Unfamiliar)]

Chen Fei was excited as he read the records of these agility manuals. Compared to the ones he bought in the black market, these were undoubtedly more advanced. Integrating them into his current abilities would take him to a whole new level. Although today was dangerous, Chen Fei had gained a lot.
