Chen Xiang still continued to practice at night. He took out four Baptizing marrow dans and swallowed them all together while simultaneously operating Tai Chi divine exercise to digest their potency. At the break of dawn, he left for Danxiang herbal manor to buy another twenty sets of Astral spirit dans's herbs.
Chen Xiang basically used up all his spirit coins after buying the spirit herbs; he had already previously invested most of his spirit coins in the store, so he was short on spirit coins, but as soon as Dan King Hall starts doing business, he will earn all his spending along with a hefty profit.
During the day, Chen Xiang stayed in his room and refined Aura Qi dan. For him, refining has been too easy now; moreover, each time six pills are being congealed out, in just half an hour he refined two sets of herbs. In five hours he had already refined all twenty sets of herbs that he had previously bought, a grand total of one hundred twenty pills! If just selling them at the minimum market price of five thousand spirit coins, he would earn six hundred thousand spirit coins, but he spent only a hundred thousand spirit coins to purchase those herbs; even a fool can see how profitable refining pills is.
Meng Bo didn't know about the furnace that it was possible for it to recognize the master after bleeding on it, so he wasn't able to utilize the true power of the Flame Dragon Brilliant Furnace. If he had known, Chen Xiang wouldn't even have been able to have a look at it; thinking about this, he felt slightly guilty; therefore, he quietly gave one metal spirit fruit and a small piece of hell spirit grass to Meng Bo; only after this did he feel relieved.
At night, Chen Xiang took some Aura Qi Dans that he had previously refined and left for the forest in the outskirts of the city; in the forest, he swallowed as many as ten pills in one deep breath, just like eating candies. If others came to know about it, they would be shocked till their jaws were touching the ground.
Chen Xiang operated the Tai Chi divine exercise and started refining their potencies; gradually, at some point, a strange spirit Qi gushed out from the pills. He felt the trace of aura Qi being released from the Aura Qi dan...
Every night Chen Xiang would unceasingly eat ten pills and cultivate his True Qi, while during the day he practiced the Azure Dragon and Zhu Que divine exercises from the Divine Exercise of Four Symbols; as for the White Tiger divine exercise, a special environment with dense slaughter Qi was required to practice, while the Black Tortoise divine exercise required an environment full of water; moreover, both of them required his strength to be above the 9th level of the mortal martial realm, so he kept them at the back of his mind.
In the blink of an eye, only three days were left for the King City martial arts tournament to start.
At night, moonlight is shining, and limitless stars are twinkling in the sky, while Chen Xiang, as always, is busy absorbing large amounts of spirit Qi inside the forest, at the same time taking a few Aura Qi dans, these days he has already consumed a large amount of pills; this also made up for the insufficient spirit Qi present in the atmosphere.
A layer of white fog starts swirling around Chen Xiang's body, emitting a kind of strange energy; any leaves around him instantly transform into tiny particles as they graze this white fog.
This white fog is none other than the 'Aura Qi'; only now did he grasp the essentials to transform his true Qi into aura, but in turn he has to spend a large amount of true Qi; only someone with vigorous true Qi will be able to continuously attack with 'True Aura.'.
Early in the morning, inside the forest, a bare-chested, robust teenager with just his fist blasted a boulder into pieces; wind whirred around his fists, waves of Qi bursting out from him. Any boulder they touched ceased to exist. 'Peng Peng Peng', a sturdy stone wrapped around in his true aura broke into several pieces like a mud ball gradually falling apart.
"This is the 7th level of mortal martial realm strength. Now with just one thought, I can transform my true Qi into true aura!" Chen Xiang clenched his fists, and as he vigorously stamped his foot, all the broken stones on the ground suddenly split up, and a frightening aura Qi emanated from his body, immediately grinding them into powder.
Chen Xiang thought, his current strength compared to the 6th level of mortal martial is much more formidable! But this level of power was still nothing in those big sects; only those with strength above 9th level of mortal martial can establish themselves in the sects, which is also why he is never arrogant; he knows no matter how good you think you are, there is always someone out there that is better.
Meng Bo, the dan king of the Southern martial empire, joined Dan King Hall, causing an uproar in the whole King City. Immediately, Dan King Hall's fame was bolstered; despite not yet opened, many people are looking forward to it. Every day, the store entrance will be crowded, and many people unceasingly came to ask about the store's grand opening. Of course, since Meng Bo joined Dan king hall, the Yao family felt a tremendous pressure because they feared Chen family's Dan king hall catching up with their position in the Southern martial empire.
Although Danxiang herbal manor sold pills, compared to the herbs, they still fall behind, as they are mainly in the spirit herb business, so Dan King Hall had a little effect on them; moreover, both parties have already established a cooperative relationship.
After dressing up, Chen Xiang started walking towards the King City; on his way, he is thinking about the opening of Dan King Hall.
While on his way, he suddenly noticed that there was something amiss; he felt someone was hiding inside the forest.
"Come out; no need to hide now!" Chen Xiang's voice was extremely cold, full of killing intent. Since he and the Yao family are enemies, he has always been wary; he already knew sooner or later the Yao family would send someone to assassinate him.
His voice just died down, a'Xiu's sound came, and Chen Xiang, like a lightning bolt, stretched his hand and caught an arrow shot towards him, and then quickly moved his body, with both flexibility and agility shuttling in the forest, only a flicker of him was visible.
Chen Xiang appeared near a tree and operated his aura Qi. 'Boom!' His fist struck a tree and blasted it into smithereens, and immediately after, a scream came from behind the tree. Whoever was hiding behind the tree had already been killed by the explosion from Chen Xiang's overbearing fist strength.
Chen Xiang's brow wrinkled; he was able to sense all the changes happening around him. After entering into the 7th level of the mortal martial realm, his divine sense had been more acute; at this moment he clearly felt numerous arrows raining towards him.
Suddenly, from his palm, an azure aura Qi surged out and formed a wall of aura in front of him, and that rainstorm-like arrows were entirely shunned by this aura wall.
"Three hundred arrows, three hundred individuals! It seems you cannot wait to kill me!"Chen Xiang's whole face turned cold, a monstrous killing intent surging in his heart.
"Since you want to kill me, then do not blame me."As his sound transmitted, a wave of slaughter Qi, like a cold wind, swept around the whole forest.
The White Tiger is a god of slaughtering. After practicing the White Tiger divine exercise, the practitioner will have a very strong slaughter Qi, which is capable of deterring the opposite party while simultaneously enhancing their own strength. Now Chen Xiang casts out the most basic of the White Tiger divine exercises—'Slaughtering Heart.' Unless he comprehends this exercise well, he will never be able to practice other martial skills of the White Tiger divine exercise. This Slaughtering Heartexercise is also the best and quickest way of slaughtering!
Chen Xiang released his formidable divine sense and quickly arrived near a big tree, and he sensed many people hiding in there. Although they hid well, they were still discovered by Chen Xiang.
"Humph, you think with quantity you will be able to kill me!"Chen Xiang coldly spoke, his body like a mirage, leaping up in the forest; he was simply too quick. It was impossible to get a hold of his location by the archers hiding inside the tree; even if they occasionally hit him, it was always blocked by the aura Qi covering his body.
Azure aura surged from Chen Xiang's fist, while lightning was flashing above them; he jumped to a nearby tree and struck towards the trunk of the tree.
Boom Boom Boom...
Azure lightning ran through the entire tree, as the trunk exploded into pieces, flame and lightning aura burst out from within, the treetop entirely charred like it was burnt by the flames, soon after six charred bodies gradually fell from above.
