Chapter 108

"It hurts!" This was the first feeling Zhan Chen had after activating the third stage of the Zhenwu Explosive Energy Formula. The vital Qi in his meridians began to gradually explode, producing a terrifying force that tore some of the smaller meridians apart.

However, as more and more meridians were damaged, he felt the pain in his meridians lessen. Instead, a terrifying force flowed through his body. At this moment, Zhan Chen's overall combat ability had doubled!

"This is the power of a Martial Venerable!" Zhan Chen was ecstatic. He raised the Tiger Roar Sword in his hand and slashed at a nearby boulder. A three-meter-long platinum sword Qi whistled out and split the boulder in half.

Sword Qi was released! This was a prominent feature of a Martial Venerable. Zhan Chen could do it easily now!

At this moment, he felt that the damage to his meridians was getting worse. He did not dare to hesitate and quickly stopped using the secret technique. A numbness spread through his body. Zhan Chen felt his head sink and his vision blacked out. He fell to the ground and completely lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, he slowly regained consciousness. He subconsciously wanted to get up, but he immediately felt a stabbing pain in his body. He had no choice but to fall down again. He hurriedly used his Divine Sense to check his body. He could not help but smile bitterly.

His meridians could be described as riddled with holes. Fortunately, he reacted in time. If he had delayed for a few more seconds, he might not have been able to recover.

"30 seconds!" At this moment, such a number appeared in his mind. This was the limit of the third stage of the secret technique he could use to fight! If he exceeded this time, there would be terrible consequences that could even be irreversible!

After taking a breath, Zhan Chen struggled to take out a bottle of medicine to repair meridians from his Qiankun Pouch. He stuffed one into his mouth and slowly closed his eyes...

This rash attempt caused Zhan Chen to suffer greatly. It took him an entire month to recover before his damaged meridians were more or less healed.

After a slight improvement, Zhan Chen immediately went to Soaring Clouds Peak to pay his respects to his master, Zhao He.

After the two finished greeting, Zhao He asked with a smile, "Disciple, how has your cultivation been recently? Have you encountered any difficulties? "

Zhan Chen looked at him and said, "Master, I came here today to ask you something."

"Oh? Just say it. "

"Is there a kind of medicine that can strengthen meridians for a short period of time after taking it?"

Zhao He was stunned and asked, "Zhan Chen, can you explain it more clearly?"

Zhan Chen hesitated for a moment. He recalled his teacher's usual selflessness towards him. He clenched his teeth and decided to divulge some information to his teacher. Therefore, he said, "Teacher, I happened to obtain a secret technique in the True Martial Secret Territory. However, if I were to use it, it would inevitably damage my meridians. Is there any medicine that can protect my meridians from being damaged?

This time, Zhao He understood and said, "Yes!"

Zhan Chen was happy and asked, "Master, what kind of medicine is it?"

Zhao He looked at Zhan Chen's anxious appearance and couldn't help but smile. He said, "There will be a huge hidden danger when using a secret technique. Most of these hidden dangers are related to meridians and Qi and blood. Therefore, this kind of medicine has already appeared in the world of martial artists. However, the level of these medicine is not low. They are above the fourth grade."

"It's a pity that I only know how to refine the most common fourth grade medicine. It's called the Vein Shield Pill."

"It's good that you have it! Master, can I trouble you to refine a few for me? "Zhan Chen earnestly begged.

Zhao He looked at his appearance and knew that he really needed it. So, he said, "Okay! Not only can I refine it for you, but I can also teach you the secret recipe of this medicine. However, you must remember that the effect of the Vein Shield Pill is limited. "

"The principle is that it will form a protective film on the surface of your meridians for an hour. It will temporarily block the damage to your meridians. However, if the external force is too strong, this protective film won't last long."

"Master, I understand."

"Good, this matter should not be delayed. There are still a few medicines that we need to collect."

"Master, leave it to me!" Zhan Chen patted his chest and said.

Zhao He immediately wrote a list of elixirs and gave it to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen immediately took action and collected elixirs from everywhere. He spent a lot of primordial stones.

Then, the master and disciple began to refine the medicine in seclusion. Zhao He taught the method of refining the Vein Shield Pill to Zhan Chen step by step.

Although Zhan Chen couldn't refine it due to the limitations of his cultivation, he still firmly remembered it. This medicine was too important for him. The "True Martial Exploding Qi Art" was his trump card. It was inevitable that he would use it in the future.

In an open space, Zhan Chen took out a Vein Shield Pill. He hesitated for a long time. His master had only refined a total of three of these pills for him. Moreover, he had to run around everywhere to collect the elixirs needed to refine these three pills. Each pill was very precious and must be used in the most critical places.

But on the other hand, if he didn't understand the effect of this medicine, he couldn't use it to its greatest extent.

In the end, he still made up his mind and swallowed the Vein Shield Pill. The Vein Shield Pill quickly turned into a medicinal power that flowed throughout his body. It formed a thick protective layer on the surface of his meridians, just like a gel.

Zhan Chen was secretly happy, "Good medicine! With it, I can temporarily cushion the damage caused by the explosion of Zhen Qi on the meridians. "

Therefore, he no longer hesitated and once again activated the third stage of the secret method. The Zhen Qi in his body exploded in his meridians, quickly consuming the protective layer formed by the Vein Shield Pill. Fortunately, the impact could not break through the protective layer for a while.

Zhan Chen took the opportunity to fully display his sword skills and sword techniques, familiarizing himself with the various experiences of the secret method. However, after only a minute, he realized that the protective layer's energy had been exhausted. At the same time, there was not much Zhen Qi left in his body.

Therefore, he withdrew the secret method and felt a wave of exhaustion in his body. He had to use his sword to support himself and thought, "With the Vein Shield Pill, I can only last for a minute, which is 60 seconds. If I don't get rid of the enemy in these 60 seconds, I will be in danger! "

However, Zhan Chen still revealed a confident smile, "60 seconds is enough for me to get rid of a beginner level Martial Honorable. Wang Yuanqing, wait for me, I will send you to meet Wang Yin immediately!"

...

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. Finally, it was the 18th of October. On this day, the usually peaceful Black Plum Town suddenly became lively. It was the Wang family celebrating their ancestor's birthday. Many of the local bullies of Black Plum Town gathered at the Wang Family Village to celebrate the birthday. Everyone in the town was talking about this matter.

At this time, in a teahouse not far from the Wang Family Village, a man dressed in black was sitting at a table and drinking by himself. It was the disguised Zhan Chen.

The Wang family's spies were all over Black Plum Town. In order to smoothly carry out his revenge plan, he purposely concealed his identity.

Coincidentally, two people next to him were talking about the Wang family. Zhan Chen could not help but focus on their conversation.

One of them said, "Hey, the Wang family here is so imposing! What's their background? "

The other person looked left and right and said in a low voice, "Brother Xiao, lower your voice. The Wang family is very arrogant. If you speak carelessly, you will attract trouble."

The person called Brother Xiao hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Brother Lin, I just came here. I was just curious."

"Alright then, I will tell you. The Wang family is the tyrant of Black Plum Town. It can be said that they are arrogant and domineering in this area. They are notorious. In the beginning, their illegal business was still carried out in secret, and they were able to maintain friendly relations with the other three families on the surface. "

"However, I don't know why, but they are becoming more and more daring. They are gradually looking down on the other three families. I heard that this time, the other three families had a falling out with the Wang family. They even made it to the mayor. However, the Wang family is very resourceful. They were able to bribe the governor and ask him to come forward and suppress the other three families' protests. "

"Since then, there have been more and more rumors about the Wang family. Their power has become even more uncontrollable, and they have even expanded to other towns."

The person called Brother Xiao nodded in awe and said, "Listening to you, this Wang family is really strange. We can't just casually ask about them."

The other person smiled and said, "Hehe, it's okay. We can just casually chat, as long as we don't make too much noise."
