Shocking Cloud Peak.
Inside a spacious room, Ye Chen, who was wrapped in bandages, crawled out of bed. He was already eighteen years old, but he was no longer childish. His slightly skinny body was not weak at all. The tightly wrapped bandages showed his well-defined muscles, which were full of explosive power. It was as if his body was made of steel.
He raised his arm, but it was still weak. This was a sign of excessive loss of Qi and blood, and a great loss of vitality. Ye Chen shook his head and thought to himself, "The Blood Explosion Spell is too powerful. It made me unconscious for seven days and seven nights. Fortunately, my body was strong enough, so I did not lose my Qi and blood, and my meridians were not destroyed. Otherwise, it would not be easy to recover."
Ye Chen had not used the three-thousand-year-old Blood Sun Flower yet, so he was not sure how effective it was. He planned to use it in a day or two when he was full of energy.
Pushing open the door, Ye Chen came to the yard.
The courtyard was no different from an ordinary family's courtyard. It wasn't too big, and it wasn't extravagant either. Opposite it was a flowerbed with dozens of beautiful flowers, including a few young Blood Sun Flowers. Next to the flowerbed was a row of sunflowers. They were taller than the courtyard wall, and they were in full bloom facing the blazing sun.
Bang bang!
After standing in the yard for a while, there was a knock on the door.
Looking away, Ye Chen said, "Come in!"
Creak!
The yard door, which was not locked, opened. Zhang Haoran and Wu Zongming walked in.
"Ye Chen, are you alright?" It was Wu Zongming's first time coming to the Shocking Cloud Peak. He looked around and found that other than the Great Elder's hall, the other buildings were very ordinary. They could not even be considered as the mansion of an ordinary landlord.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "It's you two. I'm alright!"
Wu Zongming laughed, "It's good that you're alright. I thought there would be some side effects." That day, Ye Chen looked too scary. He was covered in blood, and his muscles were cracked. The loss of Qi and blood made Wu Zongming wonder if Ye Chen had that much Qi and blood.
At this moment, Zhang Haoran said, "I'm here to apologize."
"Apologize for what?" Ye Chen was surprised.
Wu Zongming interrupted, "He's a stubborn man. We had a grudge in the past and he always wanted to apologize. In my opinion, apologizing between men is too mushy. Besides, it's been so long. Why would we care about each other's frivolity when we were young?"
Fourteen or fifteen years old was the most impulsive age. At that age, they were very competitive and aggressive. It was inevitable that there would be conflicts and friction. If they were not careful, they would become enemies. Fortunately, there was not much conflict between the three of them. They just disagreed with each other.
Ye Chen smiled. "Wu Zongming is right. Everyone is frivolous."
Zhang Haoran said seriously, "It's different this time. It's an official apology."
"Alright, I accept your apology." When dealing with a stubborn person, Ye Chen could not be in a deadlock with him, so he accepted the other party's apology.
The three of them drank some tea and chatted casually. After about an hour, the two of them bid farewell.
As soon as Zhang Haoran and Wu Zongming left, Luo Hanshan, Zhu Mei and Xu Jing arrived.
"Ye Chen, are you alright?" Luo Hanshan asked.
"Except for a bit of weakness, I'm fine." Ye Chen's wounds were actually quite serious. But of course, with the help of the three thousand years old Blood Sun Flower, it was indeed not a big deal. He looked at Xu Jing and saw that her arms were wrapped in bandages, hanging weakly on her waist. Ye Chen said gently, "Does it hurt?"
Xu Jing's face blushed slightly, "Not at all."
Ye Chen didn't say anything to express his gratitude. He knew that it would be too polite, and she would not want to hear it either. True gratitude did not need to be expressed, as long as it was in his heart, it was enough.
Taking out ten eight hundred years old Blood Sun Flowers and two thousand years old Blood Sun Flowers from his storage ring, Ye Chen said, "You are cultivating a body-strengthening art, which requires enough Qi and blood. These Blood Sun Flowers are very beneficial to your Qi and blood, so don't say no."
After saying that, he grabbed Xu Jing's slim hand and put the Blood Sun Flowers into her storage ring.
Xu Jing lowered her head and bit her lower lip.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Zhu Mei's face, it was a smile that contained a trace of envy.
"Not good!" Holding Xu Jing's soft and boneless hand, Ye Chen wanted to check her injury. Her arm was almost boneless, and it was only connected by her Qi and blood, so it was hard to describe how soft and boneless it was. If an ordinary martial artist were to suffer such a serious injury, they would basically be ruined for the rest of their lives. Fortunately, Xu Jing had been cultivating a body-strengthening art, which gave her a powerful Qi and blood. Therefore, the broken bones were healing at an almost imperceptible speed. However, if the bones were to heal on their own, it would take at least three to five years for them to fully recover. Moreover, even if they were fully healed, they would not be able to do any strenuous exercises, not to mention training martial arts.
Frowning, Ye Chen was thinking about going out to look for some natural treasures that could heal bones. Although these natural treasures were even rarer than the three thousand years old Blood Sun Flowers, they were still available. But of course, it was not the right time yet. He was still too weak, and he had a powerful enemy like Jin Huang. Without being fully prepared, he would not be able to leave the Windy Nation for the time being.
Luo Hanshan winked at Ye Chen and said, "Zhu Mei and I still have something to do, you guys go ahead, I'll come to see you when I have time."
After saying that, he left the yard with Zhu Mei.
Ye Chen let out a bitter smile. Xu Jing, who was sitting in front of him, had her head almost touching her chest. He had to find something to talk about, otherwise it would be very awkward.
"Do you still remember that time when I came back from the Northwest Auction House, I borrowed your hand to train my body strengthening art?" After thinking for a while, Ye Chen started talking about the past.
"Yeah!"
Xu Jing listened quietly.
…
The sky was getting dark. Ye Chen walked Xu Jing to the mountaintop where Ye Chen lived.
The night passed without any words.
The next afternoon.
The room was filled with a bright blood-golden aura. This aura was extremely strong, with just a single sniff, Ye Chen would feel warm and refreshed.
In Ye Chen's sight, there was a water-tank-sized lump of mud on the floor of the room. The mud was completely covered by the blood-golden color and was slightly translucent. Through the translucent mud, Ye Chen could see a palm-sized Blood Sun Flower growing in it. The Blood Sun Flower had a rich blood-golden color, it looked like gold or jade, it was shining brightly.
"It's time for me to use you!"
Using his Zhen Qi like a blade, Ye Chen cut open the mud and took out the three thousand years old Blood Sun Flower.
Tearing off a small petal, Ye Chen took a deep breath and swallowed it. He then sat cross-legged on the bed and started to refine the medicinal energy.
Three days passed, and a blood-golden aura appeared on Ye Chen's body. Strands of it were like ribbons. This was the sign of the excess medicinal energy leaking out.
"As expected of a three thousand years old Blood Sun Flower. I still underestimated its medicinal energy. Just a small petal was able to completely replenish my Qi and blood, and even improve it to the next level. What a pity that some of the medicinal energy leaked out and was wasted." Opening his eyes, Ye Chen had a regretful expression on his face. If it were Xu Jing, then this would not have happened. It seemed like he would have to find a chance to send some over.
After seven months of closed-door training, Xu Jing's strength had already crossed the hundred thousand pounds threshold, leaving Ye Chen far behind. Her Qi and blood were so powerful that even Astral Reaching Realm warriors would not be able to compete with her. If it were not for the Minor Blood Demon Body Separating Great Art, he would have given her all of it.
"However, although my Qi and blood have been replenished, the side effects are not completely gone. The Blood Explosion Great Art is not just a little bit harmful to martial artists." Ye Chen was not in a hurry. Sometimes, he would have to bear the consequences. It was something that could not be avoided.
A lot of thoughts flashed through his mind as Ye Chen started to think about his own power.
In terms of cultivation, he had reached the peak level of Late Clasping Yuan Realm, and was not far away from purifying zhen yuan. It was a huge improvement, as his basic power would not be at a disadvantage for warriors below the Astral Reaching Realm. In terms of martial arts, his Green Lotus Sword Spell had already reached the tenth level, and he had condensed six beams of Green Lotus Sword Qi in his body. Each beam was extremely powerful, and combined with his sword intent, he would be able to beat Yan Chihuo and the others. Besides his cultivation and martial arts, the biggest breakthrough was his sword intent. Once the sword intent reached the late stage, each breakthrough would be extremely rare. As his sword intent reached the eighty percent, Ye Chen's overall power had increased drastically again. He already had the battling power to kill a peak-level Early Astral Reaching Realm warrior, and he would be able to fight against a normal Mid Astral Reaching Realm warrior.
Before, with his Mysterious zhen yuan and seventy percent sword intent, Ye Chen might be able to tear apart the defense of a Mid Astral Reaching Realm warrior, but his opponent was not a block of wood that would let him attack. Therefore, if he encountered a Mid Astral Reaching Realm warrior, he would not have any chance of winning. Instead, the possibility of him dying would be very high. Although right now, he might not be able to win against a Mid Astral Reaching Realm warrior, he would be able to fight against him for a while.
"My cultivation will not improve in a short period of time. My eighty percent sword intent has not stabilized yet. Right now, I will close up and train my Green Lotus Sword Spell."
Ye Chen was very clear that the higher the cultivation realm, the earlier one could step into the Zhen Yuan refining stage, and the faster the refining process would be. Right now, what he lacked was nothing else but cultivation base. If his cultivation base had been at early Astral Reaching realm during the bloody battle with Daoist Jin Huang, he would have been able to fight for a long time, and Xu Jing wouldn't have broken the bones in her arms, temporarily crippling her.
"Cultivation is the way to go! Nothing else can be relied on. "
Sighing, Ye Chen decided to continue his closed-up training. He would train his Green Lotus Sword Spell to a higher realm first. Once he had enough basic power, he would think about other things.
Before his closed-up training, Ye Chen went to the Misty Peak to talk to Cloud Dreamer and Thunder Freer. The two were his seniors, and had helped him a lot. In this bloody battle, it was also thanks to their help. Cloud Dreamer had almost exploded himself, so it would not be right if he did not greet them.
Seeing Ye Chen recover so fast, Cloud Dreamer and Thunder Freer were very happy. They thought that it would take at least a year and a half for Ye Chen to recover.
Hearing that Ye Chen was going to continue his closed-up training, the two reminded him not to be too impatient because of the hatred in front of him. He needed to increase his power.
Ye Chen told them not to worry. He had already planned for this closed-up training. In fact, if Jin Huang and Sikong Sheng had not come to the Sky Cloud Martial School, Ye Chen was planning to train for a year before coming out.
Saying goodbye to the two, Ye Chen went to notify Xu Jing and the rest before returning to the Shocking Cloud Mountain and entering the training room inside the mountain.
