On the other side , early in the morning Mu Tian came to the market to buy some cultivation materials for himself. These days his luck has been vey good. Few days ago , he found a bag of spirit stones in an abandoned alley. There were 300 spirit stones in it. And earlier he got few body training pills which helped in increasing his cultivation level. Now that he had some spirit stones, he came to the market to buy some training materials.
Mu Tian was never given any training materials by clan even though his father was clan head that's why he was never able to enter the body training realm in the past.
Mu Tian roamed around the stall until he reached a store where an old man was sitting. He looked at the stall and didn't found anything that interests him.
" Strange, why does it feel like there was something here that was mine but I can't exactly pinpoint what it is."
The old man looked that there was someone standing in front of his stall and asked him," What do you want little brother? Is there something here that interests you?"
Mu Tian replied," No. I was just taking a look."
If Mu Chen saw this old man, he wouldn't be shocked because he already knew that Mu Tian would come here from his life script. The old man was the same person from whom Mu Chen got the fragmented map of Nirvana tomb.
" Looks like today my luck isn't any good. Let's buy some herbs for training and later go to scripture hall to get a technique suitable for me." Mu Tian said to himself and was about to back to his home but suddenly he again felt a pain in his heart as something was leaving him but he couldn't figure out what it was.
"It's same as the last time. No...no I feel that I should go to the scripture hall right now."
Mu Tian said this and ran towards the scripture hall.
He then came to the scripture hall and came to the elder in a hurry . I'm hurry he forgot to greet the elder and said in a hurriedly tone," Elder, I want to enter the scripture hall."
The elder sitting there frowned upon seeing Mu Tian. He had earlier good impression of Mu Tian and felt pity for him. He even thought of finding a way to help him but now all his goodwill towards Mu Tian was forgotten. He released his aura and Mu Tian suddenly felt a pressure on him and kneeled down on the floor. He gritted his teeth and looked towards the elder with anger and hatred brewing in his heart. Others nearby also felt this pressure and started panicking
" Why is the elder angry? Who provoked him?"
"Look it's Mu Tian, the trash."
" This trash has made the elder angry. He always create troubles for others. If he was not clan head's son , he would have been kicked out of the clan."
Mu Tian gritted his teeth and asked the elder," Why are you angry, elder?"
The elder retorted," Do you not have any manners to first greet your elders ? Or you think that just because you are the clan head's son, you will not greet others?"
Mu Tian realised this and understood that it was his mistake and apologized in front of him ," It's junior's mistake elder. Please forgive this junior. I was just a little excited so please don't take it to your heart."
The elder's anger subsided and took back his pressure. Others nearby also felt the pressure gone and quickly ran away.
Elder then said ," Next time , I will not be as lenient as today. Look at you and then look at Mu Chen who works hard and has reached 7th level of body training realm but never acts arrogant."
" Shit.. shit.. you elder. Everyone bullies me even you, one day I will kill all of those who bullied me... Wait , what? Mu Chen that trash is also at 7th level of body training realm. How could it be possible? No, calm down, it's ok everyone has one or two opportunities in their life."
Mu Tian was confused by sudden increase in strength of Mu Chen but didn't say anything and without going to the scripture hall returned home.
On the other hand, Mu Chen returned to his house and quickly open the book to read. He then started flipping the pages and reading the book to find the burning sword technique but couldn't find it. He then saw that the cover at the end was much more thicker than the front cover. He then quickly removed the cover and found that a golden page was there.
"Yes, I found it. This page contains mid earth level exercise. If I master this , my combat strength will increase very much."
Mu Chen took the page to read it but it suddenly burst into light and went straight into his mind.
" What "
Mu Chen was surprised and closed his eyes but when he opened his eyes, he found himself near a lake in the forest. Near the pond another person was there with a sword in his right hand. His sword was glowing red like it was burning. The figure then moved at an astonishing speed slashed at the lake and shouted
" Burning sword slash"
Saying this , the sword glowed more and then a slash went to the lake and cut the lake in half. Steam started coming out of it. The person didn't stop and then slashed at a rock near the lake . The rock was cut into half like a tofu and red marks were present at the part which was cut by the sword. The stone was cleanly cut into 2 halves.
The figure then looked towards Mu Chen and said,"This sword technique was created by me and takes into account the fire attribute. Fire attribute helps in increasing the attack power but also takes much more energy than other."
Mu Chen was shocked by the power of this technique. You should know that among the 5 elements, fire has the most attack power and gives more damage and then comes lightning.
Mu Chen then came back to his senses and found himself in his room. There was extra information about the burning sword technique. Mu Chen was excited because of this technique but at the same time also confused ." The elder at the scripture hall knew that there was a mid- earth level sword technique in this book but why didn't he tell the clan head or others about this exercise." In the clan, profound level exercises are the highest level and could only be practiced by core part of the clan. If they knew that there was earth level exercise in the piles of yellow level ones, there was no way they would've left it life this. Looks like this elder is not so simple, in the future I would've to ask him about this. Let's practice it for now."He then started practicing this sword move in his room.
On the other hand , the news of Mu Bai getting beaten by Mu Chen was spread throughout the clan. Everyone was discussing about Mu Chen.
" Hey, do you know that Mu Chen defeated Mu Bai in two attacks."
"Yes, I also heard about this. I heard that Mu Chen is at 7th level of body training realm."
"Mu Chen hides his strength pretty well. The last time, I saw him he was just at 3rd level of body training realm."
" But now he is in big trouble. He heated Mu Bai so 2nd elder wouldn't let Mu Chen go."
"Mu Chen doesn't have any backer . I think he will be crippled by the 2nd elder."
When the elder of the scripture hall heard the news of this , he thought," With the personality of that old man he would definitely cripple if not kill Mu Chen and Mu Chen doesn't have any backer. Looks like this time I have to intervene to protect him for the sake of my friend."
In a room, a figure was lying on bed while covered by bandages. It was Mu Bai who was beaten by Mu Chen yesterday night. After getting beaten by Mu Chen, he was carried away by his 2 followers who brought him back to his room.
He was severely injured just by 2 attacks of Mu Chen. In his heart, a seed of fear has been planted by Mu Chen. After hearing the news that his grandson was severely injured, 2nd elder came running to Mu Bai. He saw the state his grandson was and felt a pain in his heart.
His son and daughter-in-law both died in the past and only Mu Bai was left with him so he always spoiled Mu Bai and didn't punish him for his mistakes. This made Mu Bai more arrogant and he started bullying those weaker than him and his personality became crook .
" Who injured my grandson? Who was it ?"
2nd elder lifted the thin man by his neck in anger and threw him.
The other follower saw this and knelt on the ground in fear and said ," It was Mu Chen, 2nd elder, it was Mu Chen. Brother Bai didn't know that he was at 7th level of body training realm and fought with him. We asked him to let go of brother Bai but he didn't listen to us and instead kicked brother Bai."
2nd elder face after hearing this was full of anger towards Mu Chen who dared to beat his grandson even after being warned.
"Where does he live?" 2nd elder asked the minions and they truthfully replied," Elder, he lives at the periphery of the clan near the lake."
"Take me to him." 2nd elder ordered to the 2 minions.
"Yes" both replied in unison.
"Boom"
Mu Chen in his house was cultivating when he heard a loud sound and frowned. He was about to go out when he heard a sentence from outside.
"Mu Chen,you bastard come out. How dare you beat my precious grandson."
Mu Chen heard this and understood who was there. It was none other than 2nd elder.
Sure enough, when Mu Chen came out , he saw 2md elder glaring at him with hatred in his eyes.
" It was them who first attacked me and tried to stole my spirit stones, so I had no choice but to fight. Do you think I am wrong elder ?"
Mu Chen asked while looking in the eyes of 2nd elder.
" He is lying elder. We came to practice with him but he asked us for spirit stones. Brother Bai denied so he sneak attacked brother Bai." The minion with scar lied otherwise he would be punished by the elder.
2nd elder knew that what the scar face said was a lie but he also wanted to take his revenge so he pretended and said ," Mu Chen, how dare you attack your fellow clan members and try to steal their spirit stones. Today I will cripple you and make it a lesson for all.
2nd elder then release the cultivation of 3rd level of Spirit Sea realm and attacked Mu Chen with a palm. Mu Chen felt a pressure on him and couldn't move an inch. He tried to resist with all his might but felt that he couldn't break out . He saw that the palm was coming at his head. 2nd elder didn't plan to cripple him but to kill Mu Chen to take revenge for his grandson and to avoid any future troubles.
Mu Chen didn't expect the 2nd elder to be shameless and attack him. If he knew this, he would've left the clan and ran away after beating Mu Bai.
He thought that he was going to die but saw that the incoming palm attack was dissolved by another sword slash. It was Mu Gu , the elder from the scripture hall who saved him .
