“Li Fuchen12Li FuchenMain Protagonist, you don’t seem to be from the Violet Flower Kingdom?” On a small path in the Luo Clan, Luo Yan inquired.
Li Fuchen replied, “I am indeed not from the Violet Flower Kingdom. I used to reside in another kingdom and I had a master. When my master was killed by his enemies, I got disfigured as a result and fled to the Violet Flower Kingdom.” Out of no choice, Li Fuchen fabricated a lie.
Luo Yan nodded and spoke with an apologetic tone, “I am sorry to remind you of your sorrowful past.”
She could see that Li Fuchen had been injured, but she didn’t imagine he was harmed by his enemies and even his master was killed.
“It’s fine. It has been a very long time. My injuries should be recovering soon as well.” Li Fuchen responded.
Not wanting to pester on this topic, Luo Yan pointed at a lake at the front and said, “That place is where the qi is most concentrated in our Luo Clan. The concentration is 70% more than the outside world. There are plenty of spirit fish that are being bred at the lake. Let’s go over and have a look.”
“Sure.” Li Fuchen followed behind.
…
On the eastern outskirts of the Rush Current City, Zhang Clan.
“Clan Head, the Black Mountain Four Tigers have failed. It is said that a disfigured youth expert emerged and killed Short Leg Tiger in a single fist.” In the garden, there was a middle-aged man with his hand behind his back and behind him was a scout reporting the information.
“Useless.” Zhang Yun’s face flushed with anger.
After missing out on such a good opportunity, it would be ten times harder if he wanted to kill Luo Yan in the future.
Zhang Yun’s expression altered multiple times before he transmitted a message, “You will go to Black Cloud City and contact the Venomous Sting Organization’s branch. Ask them to arrange a low-level silver medal assassin.”
“Low-level silver medal assassin?” The scout got a shock.
The Venomous Sting Organization was the Violet Flower Kingdom’s famed assassin’s organization. Within the organization, the assassins were separated by three different classes, the bronze medal, silver medal, and gold medal.
The bronze medal was corresponding to the Heaven Dipper Realm.
The silver medal was corresponding to the Reincarnation Realm.
A low-level silver medal assassin would mean that the assassin had the strength of low-level Reincarnation Realm.
Such cultivation was already enough to kill a middle-level Reincarnation Realm martial artist.
A huge cost was needed to hire a low-level silver medal assassin. It was basically impossible without 10,000 low-grade spirit stones.
10,000 low-grade spirit stones was an enormous sum to the Zhang Clan. Wouldn’t it be making a huge fuss just to deal with a junior generation that had yet to fully develop?
Of course, as a scout, he knew that he simply had to obey and wasn’t allow to have questions.
“Understood.” The scout acknowledged his orders and left.
Zhang Yun forcefully breathed out a melancholic breath and silently though, “A junior generation might not be fearsome when she hasn’t fully developed yet. But once she is accepted by an elder of the martial institution as an in-room student, it will be terrifying. I have to eliminate her to prevent future disasters. Otherwise, in just a few years, the Zhang Clan will be extinguished.”
(TL note: An in-room student is something similar to a personal disciple where the master will personally teach the disciple/student)
As for himself, if he could do it personally, he would definitely do it. But it was a pity that the risk were too high.
Firstly, the Zhang Clan’s vicinity was filled with Luo Clan’s scouts.
Secondly, if he didn’t succeed, it would truly be the same as having an acrimonious falling out. If that happened, the Zhang Clan wouldn’t only face the wrath of the Luo Clan, they might also face severe punishments from the South Forest Martial Institution.
…
Night had arrived and the Luo Clan were filled with splendid lights and was extremely lively.
At the feast, Luo Zhan had repeatedly offered toasts to Li Fuchen as an appreciation to Li Fuchen for saving his only daughter, Luo Yan.
At the same time, some of the beautiful young ladies of the Luo Clan had been arranged by the seniors to come over and offer toasts while their faces were flushed red.
They didn’t mind Li Fuchen’s looks. He might be disfigured and looked rather horrific, but there were ways to recover. Even if he couldn’t recover, they didn’t mind too. He was an expert that was at the peak of the Heaven Dipper Realm before even 30 years old. He would be a prodigy no matter where he went and his future was limitless. How could they be fussy? Even if they had to be a concubine for Li Fuchen, they would be more than willing to do so.
After everyone was intoxicated and dismissed, Li Fuchen returned to his dwelling which was an exquisite and luxurious small courtyard.
“Young Hero, this is bestowed by the Clan Head.”
A Luo Clan’s guard walked into the courtyard and handed over a storage bag before leaving immediately.
Li Fuchen smiled and opened up the storage bag.
There was nothing inside the storage bag apart from a pile of low-grade spirit stones. There was an estimation of 2000 or so.
“They are truly generous.”
2000 low-grade spirit stones wasn’t a small sum. This continent might be 100 times bigger than East Unicorn Continent, but there were plenty of Reincarnation Realm martial artists too. No matter how much resources they have, it still wouldn’t be enough to distribute. 2000 low-grade spirit stones should be all the wealth that a low-level Reincarnation Realm martial artist would possess.
Li Fuchen kept it with a clear conscience.
These 2000 low-grade spirit stones were something that he deserved.
After one night, Li Fuchen felt that his injuries had recuperated a little.
Early in the morning, Luo Zhan came over personally to greet Li Fuchen.
“Is Young Hero Li living comfortably?” Luo Zhan inquired.
Li Fuchen nodded and replied, “Luo Clan Head is truly considerate. The Luo Clan’s environment is excellent, how can I not have a comfortable stay?”
Luo Zhan laughed heartily. “Young Hero Li, let us have breakfast together!”
“Sure.” Li Fuchen simply agreed.
When at the meals hall, Luo Yan was around and so was her mother. Her mother was a middle-aged married woman but still attractive.
Halfway through the meal, Li Fuchen put down his chopsticks and asked Luo Zhan, “Luo Clan Head, I would like to ask if the Luo Clan or the Rush Current City has any elixir that can expel impurities from the body? It will be best is they are of the mystic class high-tier. I am willing to purchase them with spirit stones.”
The impurities in his body was the biggest hidden damage. As long as he couldn’t expel them, he would never be able to strengthen his body.
At the current juncture, he couldn’t make use of his qi, hence, body refinement was the only thing he could rely on.
“Mystic class high-tier?” Luo Zhan frowned and spoke in an apologetic tone, “My Luo Clan does have mystic class high-tier elixirs, but we don’t have any that can expel impurities in the body. I am afraid that Rush Current City wouldn’t have any either. Perhaps the top ten cities of the South Forest Region might have them.”
“The South Forest Martial Institution has elixirs that expel the body’s impurities but one has to become a South Forest Martial Institution’s student first. It is regretful that the next enrollment will be three months later.” Luo Yan said.
“A student of the South Forest Martial Institution?” Three months was too long. Li Fuchen planned to head for one of the top ten cities in the South Forest Region. Of course, his injuries had to be fully recovered first.
After finishing breakfast, Li Fuchen returned to his courtyard.
His awareness entered his dantian and he could see a small bundle of flaming qi and the true inferno qi that was like the sun.
At first look, the true inferno qi was huge and imposing. But only after making contact with the flaming qi, one would understand how horrific this bundle of flaming qi was.
If the true inferno qi was like a violent and ferocious beast, then the flaming qi would be a violent dragon. Once it was infuriated, it would tear up heaven and earth, incinerating everything.
“My current cultivation will never be able to deal with the flaming qi. Am I going to continue wasting time like this?”
Li Fuchen was unwilling to resign to his fate. With his cultivation speed, if there were no delays, he wouldn’t need much time to progress to the 9th level of Heaven Dipper Realm. But right now, he couldn’t cultivate and was wasting the ideal cultivation environment in this continent.
“Heaven will always leave a way through. There must be something I can do.” Li Fuchen withdrew his awareness.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Li Fuchen went to the Luo Clan’s library to take a look.
He came from the East Unicorn Continent and didn’t know anything about this continent. He couldn’t simply ask and reading books was undoubtedly the best way to know about this continent.
The Luo Clan’s library had a total of four floors. The first floor had an ordinary collection and didn’t any martial arts manuals. Hence, Li Fuchen didn’t have any obstruction when entering the first floor.
The first floor had plenty of books and all sorts of books.
Like biographies, folk legend, poems, songs, and cultural history.
Li Fuchen read as though he was intoxicated.
To him, it was rather interesting to find out the history of a continent.
For the next few days, Li Fuchen had read almost all the books on the first floor of the library, this was mainly due to his ability to read ten lines at the same time. He had extreme reading speed and could clearly memorize all of the contents. He wouldn’t have any problem in reciting the backward.
“So this continent is called the Seven Color Continent and it isn’t an entire continent. It is a continent that is connected by seven pieces of continents. The continent that I am on right now is called the Red Soil Continent. It is governed by the Red Rainbow Sect and they have plenty of experts beyond the Battle Spirit Realm. Or should I say that they are experts of the Primary Sea Realm? Among them, the strongest is the Red Rainbow King, a King at the 8th level of the Primary Sea Realm. He is matchless with his Red Rainbow Sword Art and has once used a single slash in the Violet Flower Kingdom to create a canyon.”
“The Red Soil Continent has seven great kingdoms. The Violet Flower Kingdom is only a middle-class kingdom. Among the royalties, there is a Primary Sea Realm King, but only a 1st level Primary Sea Realm King.”
“In the Violet Flower Kingdom, there are four great clans, two great martial institutions. The strongest among them is the Ancestors of the peak level Battle Spirit Realm. Apart from all these, the Violet Flower Kingdom has 24 regions and each region has a martial institute.”
After knowing the overall information of the Seven Color Continent, Li Fuchen was deeply affected.
The Seven Color Continent was much more incredible than he had imagined and it was at a magnificent scale.
It turned out that the realm above the Battle Spirit Realm was the Primary Sea Realm.
The martial artists of the Primary Sea Realm were addressed as Kings, in correspondence to Demon Kings of the demonic beasts.
The strength of a king was terrifying according to the information in the biographies that Li Fuchen read.
It wasn’t exaggerating to say that these Primary Sea Realm Kings would be able to destroy the entire East Unicorn Continent. The people over there had to treat these kings as gods.
But in the Seven Color Continent, these kings weren’t considered gods as there were plenty of kings here.
In addition, Li Fuchen assumed that this continent had plenty of kingdoms. He didn’t imagine that the Red Soil Continent only had seven kingdoms and each kingdom had Primary Sea Realm Kings.
Just on this point, it wasn’t as lively as the East Unicorn Continent.
The East Unicorn Continent had the Hundred Sects and there were plenty of tangled and complicated relationships.
As it turned out, Battle Spirit Realm experts were addressed as Ancestors, and the Red Soil Continent had an Ancestor List.
Those that were listed in the Ancestor List were basically peak level Battle Spirit Realm Ancestors. Those that weren’t at the peak level of the Battle Spirit Realm would be those heaven-defiers that could exceed levels to kill their enemies in battles.
“The Seven Color Continent has a total of seven continents. There isn’t much information on the other continents except the names. But just the Red Soil Continent will be enough to cause all those so-called pinnacle experts in the East Unicorn Continent to be flabbergasted!” Li Fuchen laughed silently.
***
In just a wink of the eye, Li Fuchen had been residing in the Luo Clan for a week.
After an entire week, Li Fuchen’s injuries were completely recovered. The burn marks on his body had also vanished as he restored his original looks.
“So he is actually so handsome and refined.”
When Li Fuchen walked on the bypaths in Luo Clan, those young ladies of the Luo Clan would reveal infatuated expressions.
Li Fuchen was originally very eye-catchy. Now that he had restored his original looks, he was definitely outstanding and had an indescribable elegance of a prodigy.
