Hua Yueyun ordered some people to enter the store and estimate the damage, then said to Chen Xiang, “If you two have time, you can always come to Danxiang Herbal Manor as a guest, please, we will always welcome you both.”
After Hua Yueyun left, Chen Luzhong held onto her waist and said with a smile, “You think this woman is attractive, right?”
Chen Xiang whispered while his shining eyes stared at the distant carriage, “This woman's scheme is very deep. I feel like he wants to win us.”
“You think too much Despite being a woman, she can still manage the power of such a huge pill, she has long been used to gnawing at bones until there is nothing left. Why does he need to use underhanded means to win us over?”
Five days passed quickly. The store is new and everything is done at no cost. Danxiang Herbal Manor had sent people to refine it and as long as there were enough pills and alchemists, the shop would be opened soon.
Chen Xiang came to the King's city for two purposes. One was to start a pill shop, and the other was to participate in King City's Martial Arts tournament.
King City's Martial Arts Tournament had already begun to receive registration. Although there were more than two months before it started, Chen Xiang had signed up early. Chen Xiang had also learned some information along the way. Sect disciples would indeed appear in the tournament, but they would not participate in it, rather, they were only here to observe.
For several days, Chen Xiang and Chen Luzhong were very busy refining pills. In order for the business to run smoothly, they would have to refine a large number of pills.
“Grandfather, only with the two of us purifying the pill, this is not the path to go.. I don't know if we can continue like this.” Chen Xiang had just purified the Baptism Marrow, but the potion he had to buy came from the Danxiang Herbal Manor.
“Young man, do you think opening a shop is easy? If we do not have at least five alchemists, it will be difficult to maintain them. Even after opening the store, we have to wait for customers to come and buy. As I can see, it takes at least two to three years before we can run smoothly.” Chen Luzhong's reply made Chen Xiang stomp his feet anxiously, he couldn't wait so long.
In order to attract alchemists, he could only use a few precious spirit herbs. Chen Xiang had planned to ripen a number of potions so he immediately left the alchemy room but when he arrived inside the shop, he saw a few people standing inside.
These people were an old man and four handsome teenagers. The breaths that were expelled from their bodies were extremely pure which gave people a strange feeling. This kind of purest True Qi could not be cultivated in the mortal world.
“You.......”.
“HUMPH, YOU CHEN XIANG?!” The white-haired old man shouted, his face mighty and furious, and also the four teenagers had performed a tall and mighty act while staring at Chen Xiang.
Chen Xiang frowned, clenched his fists and said coldly, “Yes. Are you here to make trouble?”
At this moment Chen Luzhong also came out, when she saw the old man she also froze for a moment, her body still trembling. Apparently he was very afraid of this old man.
“You ..... you .....” Chen Luzhong fell silent, he really knew this old man.
The old man spoke, “True, I am Chen Furong. Fifty years ago, I left the Chen family and entered the martial arts sect, and this time I returned to recruit some sect disciples but I heard bad news.”
Chen Xiang was shocked in his heart. The person responsible for recruiting this sect disciple was unexpectedly one of the elders of the Chen family, but this elder seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with him.
“You dare to be hostile to the Yao family. You should know when I was inside the martial arts sect, the members of the Yao family have helped me a lot!” Chen Furong glared at Chen Xiang, simultaneously, she released True Qi pressing towards Chen Xiang which made Chen Xiang suddenly feel as if his body was weighing ten thousand jin.
[TLN: Jin \= Chinese weight measurement, 1jin \= 500g]
The astonishment of Chen Luzhong's face has faded and been replaced with cold, “She was a Chen family once in a thousand years born a good rare seedling, but you humiliated her for your own selfish reasons! This reason alone is enough for you not to have it. Qualification to become a member of the Chen family!”
When Chen Furong heard this statement, she held her breath, and looked at Chen Luzhong to determine her level of strength. Since he was unable to see the level of his strength, he humbly said: “What's good? This little devil? Casually grab anyone within my sect and they will be much stronger than him. My four disciples behind me will be able to win very well. easily against him.”
This sudden ferocious attack left the teenager with no time to dodge. His chest was ruthlessly struck by Chen Xiang's fist. Blood spilled from his mouth and was forced to retreat a few steps before stopping.
“Only so-so!” Chen Xiang faintly said. He actually saw through Chen Furong, he now knew that the Chen family elders had no loyalty towards the Chen family. To befriend the Yao family, he even dealt with his own clan.
Chen Xiang's sudden action made Chen Furong unceasingly shocked and furious. He had only heard of Chen Xiang's strength but had never witnessed it, but now it seemed that it was indeed extraordinary, capable of even slightly injuring a martial arts sect disciple.
“This is a martial arts sect disciple power?” Chen Xiang said with disdain as he glanced at the four teenagers, which in turn made the four teenagers extremely angry.
“If you don't sneak attack me, you won't even be able to touch me.” The teenager while wiping his blood-stained mouth angrily retorted.
“So how about we have a small fight?”
Chen Xiang clenched his fists, while on his face the intent to fight could be seen.
“Come fight!” The teenager's heart was filled with anger, only by fighting could he vent his anger residing in his heart.
Chen Furong did not try to stop them, she retreated to one side blankly. This left a bit of open space, at this moment, the teenager and Chen Xiang both rushed towards each other.
The teen's step was very light, similar to a shallow step using only the tip of a toe. Not only was he fast, but he carried himself with a strong momentum.
“Mortal martial arts level-6!” Chen Xiang assessed the strength of the teenagers immediately.
The teenager saw Chen Xiang standing motionlessly there, his entire body full of holes. When he saw Chen Xiang trying to guard from his steps, he was secretly proud of himself. He leaped into the sky, both of his legs constantly sending flying kicks, suddenly, after the image overflowed from above the sky and surged towards Chen Xiang. The powerful True Qi shook the air with a loud voice, clearly the kicking method of this teenager was very impressive.
Chen Xiang did not imagine this kind of attack and at that moment, he could not escape the countless foot shadows. He had not expected this weak-looking little teenager to know such an overbearing kicking technique.
“Deng deng”
Chen Xiang's body in the blink of an eye flew and kicked dozens of times. After which, he fell on a wooden table that instantly shattered him.
“Huh! You are also mediocre!” The teenager inside said with disdain. Just as he finished, Chen Xiang leaped into the sky and stood up straight, beating his clothes like nothing had ever happened.
The teenagers as well as Chen Furong were completely dumbfounded.
“You ….. I actually kicked your body a moment ago, but how are you able to withstand my powerful True Qi? I at least kicked your body ten times or so, at each kick I poured out an extremely powerful True Qi. ” Said the teenager with that serious skin. Few people among the same level were able to stay safe unscathed under his kick method.
Chen Xiang lightly smiled and said, “Your moves are really good, but they are still average!”
As he spoke, Chen Xiang dashed towards the teenager and with his fist, an attack similar to a mountain of cutting giant axes, was continuously struck. Each fist strike had a momentum similar to a gigantic river flow, blasting out an explosion. Each fist turned into a ferocious tiger head, shocking the air, as if a ferocious tiger roared in anger.
Uninterrupted and quick, Chen Xiang's fist made countless shadows similar to the violent storm that attacked the teenager. The reaction of the teenager was very quick. The wind revolved around his body before it was covered in a layer of golden brilliance, which was the metal attribute of True Qi and he released the cover of True Qi to protect himself.
