One month later.
As the moon rose into the sky, a blue light shone on the top of the mountain. When viewed from afar, it looked like a shooting star at the top of a mountain. In order to prevent others from knowing about his new strength, Chen Xiang used the reason of collecting herbs to come to this mountain and cultivate.
In order to absorb a greater amount of Spirit Qi, and to gain a better understanding of the wind and lightning contained between heaven and earth, he came to the top of this mountain. In this place, he could see dark clouds starting to rise and felt strong gales blowing. lightning occasionally appeared between the clouds. Suddenly, lightning struck straight down towards the top of the mountain, as if striking was about to destroy it.
This amazing scene was actually a byproduct of Chen Xiang cultivating the [Blue Dragon Heavenly Training]. The howling strong wind and thunderclaps in the sky were both caused by his cultivation. As lightning struck his body, not only did he begin to refine his body through his tyrannical strength, but, over time, he also absorbed his energy into his body.
This action could be described as suicide. Everyone knows that lightning is one of nature's most destructive forces. Even a True Martial Realm Expert would not dare to face him, yet Chen Xiang was cultivating using the [Blue Dragon Heavenly Training] and actually wanted to use that natural lightning to help his cultivation!
This strange scene lasted until midnight. Chen Xiang's face, which had been distorted due to the pain, was now slowly returning to normal. His clothes were torn in several places, and he had numerous black scars all over his body, with smoke coming out from his crevices. Yet on top of all those scars, a bright blue light shone. This blue light had the aura of a powerful wood attribute, which helped his body recover from injuries caused by lightning.
“As long as I become strong, this pain is nothing,” Chen Xiang said, clenching his fists and shouting in his heart as he endured the pain from one lightning strike that struck his body one after another. Letting the sky dampen his body with a powerful bolt of lightning.
This method is truly worthy of being called the heavenly Exercises. Not only did it affect the world around the user, but it also made the user's body angry with the lightning strike, making it stronger.
A few days passed. During this time Chen Xiang had been repeatedly struck by lightning. Now, he had finally completed tempering his basic body!
As Chen Xiang opened his eyes, two lightning strikes were seen flashing in his eyes, his eyes firm and firm. It was truly an amazing sight.
“This is definitely worth calling a heavenly Exercises! Mortal Martial Training was not even comparable to his smelly fart! In just one month, it has allowed me to reach level 5 of the Mortal Martial Realm!
At this moment, Chen Xiang inspected the five True Qi whirlpools revolving within his dantian. Comparing them to how they were before, they had already grown much larger. Chen Xiang could now control True Qi as he wished. This was the 5th level of the Mortal Martial Realm, the True Qi realm!
He was sixteen years old and had reached level 5 of the Mortal Martial Realm. Many would consider him a genius for this achievement.
The deep red True Qi was on one of Chen Xiang's palms, the other was holding a blue colored True Qi. Hand in hand, Fire and Wood True Qi cultivated through Azure Dragon and Vermillion Bird Divine Exercise.
Chen Xiang felt as if he had shed his former skin and was reborn. Both his Qi and his actual body were now incomparable to his previous state. Then again, his body had been forged and his True Qi had been cultivated through the heavenly Exercises.
Chen Xiang could finally understand why the heavenly Exercises were considered priceless. Really, by cultivating this exercise one could gain god-like strength!
“Roh Qi around here is thin. If you want your cultivation to progress by leaps and bounds, then you can only rely on Dans! Now that you can release True Qi Flames, you can finally start learning alchemy. ” Su Meiyao transmitted to him.
Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou both missed Chen Xiang becoming strong as quickly as possible. The faster he became stronger, the faster they could recover their strength. The sisters felt fear and helpless from losing their previous strength.

“Well, if it wasn't the great young master of the Chen Family? The genius alchemist of the Yao Family has challenged you. He wants to compete with you in alchemy and martial arts.”
Chen Xiang had just entered the Chen Family Gate, when an arrogant teenager walked up and started talking to him.
“A challenge? When did this happen?” Chen Xiang was slightly surprised. He's only been gone for a few days.
The teenager began to laugh at him, his voice filled with contempt. “So you haven't even heard? We all thought you were scared and hid! This all happened ten days ago, because the genius of the Yao Family liked your fiancee. You are really bad luck! ”
Chen Xiang barely held back his urge to hit. With a sharp fake smile, he replied, “Chen Zhenhua, do you remember back then, when we were young, and I made you fall down? Are you sure you still want to talk back to me now? ”
He was Chen Zhenhua, whose father was a commander of one of the Chen Family Branches. There were many Branch of the Chen Family located throughout the Southern Martial Empire. The commander of the family was also very powerful, and only gathered at the Chen Family Villa for important matters.
Chen Zhenhua's expression turned in anger, but he had to endure it. His voice was full of ridicule, he snapped, “Of course! Let's see if you can defeat the genius of the Yao Family. I Can't wait to watch your face when you lose your amazing fiancee.”
Chen Zhenhua left, laughing.
Chen Xang snorted, before walking away looking for his father. On the way there, he heard that the Chen Family had run into some kind of trouble. Therefore, all branch commanders have been summoned.
Tianhu Park, Inside the Library.
Chen Xiang ran towards his father and asked, “Dad, is it true that grandfather has retreated from the position of patriarch (tribal chief)?”
Chen Tianhu, while looking dignified, nodded and said, “That's right. Your grandfather had secluded himself, wanting to join the martial arts sect. The Chen Family branch commanders all came here to compete for his position. ”
A patriarch of the Chen family giving up his position meant that a new patriarch should be chosen. At that time many things would definitely happen, since many battles would occur, getting injured was also inevitable.
Being the patriarch of a martial arts family, one could have high authority, in addition to rich resources and, as such, many people were desperate to obtain that position, even by risking his life.
Chen Xiang's father would also be competing for the patriarch position, and this time, Chen Xiang would definitely be involved. If he did not possess enough strength, it would definitely be extremely dangerous for him.
The position of the patriarch of the Chen family was never inherited. After all, it depends on the competition to choose the patriarch, in this world the power is respected, and only by a show of strength will others be willing to follow you. Thus, for the position of the patriarch of the Chen family, others could only be convinced by force.
Chen Xiang saw that Chen Tianhu's skin was very dignified, so he carefully asked, “Daddy ... Is this difficult for you?”
Chen Tianhu, with a sigh, said, “Indeed, this will be very difficult, since there are many who compete with me for the position of patriarch, including the two brothers with whom I have some objections ……. there is no need to say this, but the genius of the Yao family also gives you a challenge, it would be best to reject it. ”
Refuse? After learning about this, the so-called challenge, Chen Xiang did not intend to refuse. He was now a Stage 5 Mortal Martial Realm martial artist, and was also cultivating using heavenly Exercises. Since he was cultivating using the [Tai Chi Divine Practice], he could withstand his Qi aura, and thus, Chen Tianhu was unable to know that his son had advanced by leaps and bounds.
“Dad, I won't let the Xue family and Yao family underestimate me! I have to accept this challenge!” Chen Xiang's gaze was firm, his eyes were filled with war intent, and from his body appeared a large amount of polished True Qi, which made Chen Tianhu's pupils contract, as shock filled his heart. He could see that his son had advanced at an incredible speed.
Chen Tianhu could only think that his son had discovered a fortuitous event while adventuring, but he refrained from asking. His son was strong, and that was enough for him.
Chen Tianhu patted Chen Xiang on the shoulder and, laughing, said, “Your father will support you! You must make the genius of the Yao family know that there is something beyond the heavens!
Chen Xiang, with a hollow laugh, said, “Dad, can you support me with some money?”
Although Chen Xiang's father lived a rather luxurious life, he himself was quite poor, as his father was worried he would turn into a playboy cap crocodile. So his father only allowed him to live a simple life, which caused the dignified old grandson to look very simple compared to the other members of the Chen Family his age.
Chen Tianhu was a man who chose not to waste money, but to increase his strength, and also help Chen Xiang, he had spent a lot of money. So he did not allow Chen Xiang to spend money randomly.
“For what?”
“I want to buy spirit herbs to plant and grow.” Chen Xiang whispered, rolling his eyes.
Planting spirit herbs requires not only experience, but also careful care. Usually those who plant herbs are alchemists, generally white-haired old men. A teenager growing spirit herbs without experience is unusual, as it also requires a high degree of patience, as good spirit herbs take years to mature.
For Chen Tianhu, this would also be his first time seeing a teenager planting spirit herbs, but, seeing the confidence in Chen Xiang's eyes, he sighed and took out a storage pouch.
“If I knew you were lying to me, I would kick your ass to the point that sitting on the bench would be a nightmare for you for at least a month .. Are we clear?” Chen Tianhu smiled as he made that frightening comment, which made Chen Xiang tremble.
“This is 3000 spirit coins. If you do not have the confidence to double the amount, then, in the future, do not ask me for any more money. ” Chen Tianhu took out one specially produced spirit note.
Chen Xiang picked it up, and with a smile, said, “ Rest assured, I will become the youngest alchemist of the Chen family!”
Chen Tianhu was shocked. He knew that Chen Xiang did not have a spiritual tone, so alchemy was impossible for him, but in his heart he was also secretly happy. If what he said came true, then it would make the Chen family even more formidable. He knew that the Chen family had not had an alchemist for many years.
Chen Tianhu laughed, “Quick get out of here, don't even think of trying to trick me, or you will be beaten up! Father will give a response to the Yao family. ”
Chen Xiang took out 3000 large spirit coins and quickly left.
