C9

There was nothing special about [Wandering Dragon Technique], it was a standard technique within the Human Level Middle Grade, but Chen Yi was already very satisfied with this method. Some techniques were indeed powerful, but when cultivated to a certain degree, they would even have a variety of martial arts attack techniques that matched well with each other.

However, with the [Burning Devils Arts], what Chen Yi needed was only a cultivation technique that could enhance the level of his martial arts.

Just the [Burning Devils Arts] alone was enough to fill Genuine Qi with the power of the Burning Demon, and it was already full of destructive power.

The power of the Genuine Qi combined with the [Wandering Dragon Technique] was even comparable to that of High Grade Genuine Qi s at the Acquired Stage level.

The [Wandering Dragon Cult] was divided into eight levels, and after the eighth level, one would be able to train in the [Wandering Dragon Cult] technique. This was a technique specifically designed to clear the twelve main aspects of the technique, and it was much more gentle and easy to achieve breakthroughs than normal, as after stepping into the Circulation Stage, the Genuine Qi s would even be able to carry traces of the dragon's aura.

Therefore, Chen Yizhi chose [Wandering Dragon Technique] because he had his eyes on [Wandering Dragon Technique].

Amongst the martial arts techniques on the second level, the [Wandering Dragon Technique] was the most outstanding.

Of course, this did not mean that Chen Yi would not be interested in other beneficial techniques with the [Burning Devils Arts]. If possible, Chen Yi would also like to practice those powerful techniques.

After choosing his cultivation technique, Chen Yi chose a boxing style, [Shadowless Fist].

"..."

"Fifth Elder, I choose [Wandering Dragon Technique] and [Shadowless Fist]." After the selection, Chen Yihui went to the first floor and bowed to Fifth Elder.

"Return after seven days. Try to memorize all of them. Otherwise, you can take them off in case you forget them in the future."

"Yes." Chen Yi responded and could not wait to go back and cultivate [Wandering Dragon Technique].

This scene was, of course, seen by the Chen Mansion disciples who were still on the first floor, selecting either cultivation or martial skills.

Not long after, the news that Chen Yi's body could recover and had already chosen his cultivation method and martial skill spread across the entire Chen Mansion.

This time, it even reached the higher-ups.

For example, Chen Yi's father, uncle, Second Uncle, and grandpa heard about it.

Apart from being surprised, there were no other movements from the other three. Mr Chen, on the other hand, was extremely excited and immediately sent Attendant to call Chen Yi over.

Although Mr Chen's martial arts was wasted and he became a cripple, with his two brothers and his father around, no one dared to bully Mr Chen. Mr Chen's martial arts was crippled and he became a cripple, but with his two brothers and his father around, no one dared to bully Mr Chen.

As a result, Mr Chen was treated pretty well in Chen Mansion, there were people waiting on him even when he went in and out.

"..."

In Chen Yi's small courtyard.

"Father called me?"

"Yes, young master. I heard that you have already healed your body, I am very happy." It was Attendant, Chen Jiu, who was relatively loyal to his father. Chen Yi was rather grateful towards Chen Jiu, although Mr Chen did not need to worry about food and clothing, and there were people waiting on him when he went in and out, compared to when he was a Heavenly Pride of Chen Mansion, his treatment was still far worse.

Not only that, many of the servants beside Mr Chen felt that they had no future by following Mr Chen. They all secretly bribed him, and through the servants that they knew, transferred themselves away.

Now, less than a third of the servants follow along with Chen Mansion back then.

As a third of the minority, Chen Jiu had been resolutely following Mr Chen from the beginning.

Secretly, Chen Yi also treated Chen Jiu as his elder brother. At the very least, Chen Jiu was better to him than his elder brother.

"Brother Chen Jiu, take me to see father." Chen Yi nodded.

Chen Jiu said fearfully, "Little servant cannot afford to be called like this by Young Master. If Eldest, Second, and even Family Head hears about it, I don't care if little servant gets punished. If Young Master gets punished for that, then it's not worth it."

Chen Yi said with a smile, "Don't worry, I wouldn't do that when there are many people around."

Chen Yi treated Chen Jiu kindly, but in the eyes of others, Chen Jiu was still a servant. A master and a servant calling each other brothers would be ridiculed by others.

Master didn't look like master, and the servants didn't look like servants.

Unless Chen Jiu broke through to the Circulation Stage in the future, then his treatment would undergo a tremendous change.

But breaking through the Circulation Stage was simply too difficult.

Chen Jiu sighed. "It's good that you know what you're doing. I understand your intentions, but …" Chen Jiu shook his head, but he felt very happy in his heart. The reason he stayed with Mr Chen back then was because he knew that Mr Chen and Chen Yi were not the masters that treated people like animals.

Chen Mansion had only risen up for a short period of time. It was only a few dozen years, and even though his family style wasn't as it was before, it was still much better than the other families.

For example, the Zhang Family and Du Family of this small town were equally famous. Chen Jiu knew that every year, there would be many servants dying and being carried out directly into the mountains.

Many of the servants in those two families would rather die than live.

Chen Jiu knew from a young age that as a servant, it was safest to follow a gentle and well-placed master.

In Chen Jiu's opinion, Mr Chen was such a master.

Now, even though he was a servant, he was valued highly by his master and young master. As a servant, he was already considered to be at the peak of his life.

"Those fools who leave early will definitely regret it in the future." Chen Jiu thought in disdain.

"..."

Mr Chen was the third son of the family head, his full name was Chen Xiuqi.

He was dressed in a light purple robe and his hair was tied up. He was sitting on a wooden chair with a book in his hand.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chen Xiuqi's expression changed. His jade-like face revealed traces of excitement.

Not long after, Chen Yi and Chen Jiu appeared in front of Chen Xiuqi.

Chen Yi first looked at his father and felt relieved when he found that other than his father's face turning pale and his body feeling weak, there were no other major injuries.

After all these years, Mr Chen had been drinking medicine frequently to maintain his good health. Every time Chen Yi met with Mr Chen, he would first have to check to see if Mr Chen's body was getting worse.

Mr Chen was about to stand up in excitement, but Chen Yi quickly helped Mr Chen sit down again.

"Father, your health isn't good, so there's no need for you to get up." Chen Yi said.

Mr Chen said snappily: "I'm not crippled enough to stand on my feet and want to vomit blood."

Seeing that Mr Chen and Chen Yi were going to have a good chat, Chen Jiu smiled and walked out, closing the door and leaving the two some space.

Chen Yi chuckled as he looked at the book that Mr Chen put aside and said, "Since when did father like to read such books?"

The book that was placed next to Mr Chen was an article written by some country's scholars.

Mr Chen laughed, "I was bored. I just read and found these articles to be quite interesting. I never read any of these scholars' essays when I was practicing martial arts. Now, I have a different experience."

Chen Yi said in amusement, "Does father want to become a great scholar?"

Mr Chen said with dissatisfaction, "What, no way?"

Chen Yi coaxed Mr Chen: "Fine, fine, fine. Father is always an elite."

Mr Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When did it become his son's turn to tease him?

After straightening his face, Mr Chen finally changed the topic back to the right path. He said with a slight frown, "Xiao Yi, are you really well now?"

Chen Yi nodded immediately: "It's really done."

Mr Chen was a cripple now. His vision was not bad, but he had no way to judge Chen Yi's Qi, nor how many meridians Chen Yi had opened up through the Genuine Qi. Thus, he could only ask.

Chen Yi's answer surprised Mr Chen.

"Four connected? Peak of the middle stage of the Invigorated Meridian Stage? "How is this possible!?" Mr Chen stood up in shock.

"Impossible!" who would directly reach the peak of the middle stage of the Invigorated Meridian Stage the moment they broke through! " Mr Chen shook his head in disbelief.

Chen Yi shrugged, "This is why I have always been unwilling to treat patients. I know that this is not an illness, and this is something that the special bloodline that I have awakened tells me."

"Special bloodline?" You awakened your special bloodline? " Mr Chen widened his eyes.

Chen Yi nodded, "Yes, the bloodline that I have awakened is the [Burning Devils Body]. The reason why my cultivation level regressed in the past is also because of the [Burning Devils Body]."

"Before the [Burning Devils Body] has awakened, it has to go through this stage, but once awakened, there will be a period of eruption, so once I break through, I have reached the peak of the middle stage of the Invigorated Meridian Stage."

These words were of course Chen Yi's nonsense, but it also perfectly explained the fact that his cultivation realm had always broken through and regressed a few years ago.

Mr Chen did not doubt Chen Yi's words because there were too many special bloodlines and every one of them was different as there were all kinds of awakening conditions.

Some awakening conditions were very strange. For example, Mr Chen knew that there was a type of [harem body] that needed to be combined with many opposite sex before it could be awakened.

Of course, homosexuality was also fine, if they had a special hobby.

Even if it was a bit special, different races would be able to do it.

The awakening conditions mentioned by Chen Yi might be ridiculous and eccentric, but compared to the [harem body], it was much more normal. Thus, Mr Chen accepted it as a matter of fact.
