Ch 150: Choice And Unboxing!

Chu Qing’s question remained unanswered when Mo Duxing, Bian Cheng, and Chu Fan entered the gate.

“Greetings, Villa Master Wen.”

The three spoke in unison.

They were Wenrou’s senior martial brothers, and their relationship with Luochenshan Villa was extraordinary.

In fact, logically speaking, on the first day Chu Qing and the others arrived, Mo Duxing and Bian Cheng, given their identities, should have come to pay their respects to Wen Fusheng immediately.

However, at that time, Wen Fusheng was ‘attacked’ and it was inconvenient to see people, so it was delayed until now.

Chu Qing had just left with Wenrou to find You Zong.

Wen Fusheng and the others returned to Luochenshan Villa, learned about the situation here, while Bian Cheng and Mo Duxing discovered that the third junior brother had also arrived at Luochenshan Villa.

After some pleasantries, they learned that Chu Qing’s fiancee had accidentally learned of the whereabouts of the Earth Character Scroll Heavenly Book and had sent a message to Chu Fan from Lonely Moon Mountain.

As a Taiyi Gate disciple, Chu Fan, upon receiving the news, naturally rushed over immediately.

Unfortunately, Tianwu City is not close to this place, and even though he rushed all the way, he was still late.

When he arrived, he happened to catch the Luochenshan Villa chaos, and he lent a hand.

Later, he wanted to go to Celestial Mechanism Valley, but unfortunately, the road had collapsed.

With no choice, he had to return to the villa to wait for Wen Fusheng and the others to return.

Afterwards, he met up with Bian Cheng and Mo Duxing, and when he asked about Wenrou, Bian Cheng was mysterious and vague, only leading him to pay his respects to Wen Fusheng.

Wen Fusheng smiled and nodded when he saw the three of them:

“Cui Pao Zhang is indeed enviable, having taken in such good disciples.”

“Let me introduce you, this is Tie Lingyun, the Grand Hall Master of the Iron Blood Hall…”

Bian Cheng and the other two immediately greeted Tie Lingyun.

Tie Lingyun’s expression was strange:

“Cui Pao Zhang’s disciples? How has your master’s temperament been in recent years?”

“Master cultivates himself and is much gentler in temperament.”

Bian Cheng replied with a smile.

“…Impossible!”

Tie Lingyun said decisively:

“Absolutely impossible!”

“…”

Bian Cheng was speechless for a moment, and it was clear that this was an old acquaintance of his master.

His understanding of his honored master was extraordinary.

Wen Fusheng said with a smile:

“Alright, we’ve known your master for more than a day or two, we know his temperament, don’t we?

“Um, this is someone you know…Mad Blade Third Young Master.

“The one who turned the tide this time, although he is about your age, or even younger, his martial arts are unfathomable.

“You know each other, seize the opportunity to ask for advice, and you’ll benefit immensely.”

Mo Duxing snorted when he heard this, while Bian Cheng looked at Chu Fan with a smirk.

Chu Fan hadn’t noticed Chu Qing sitting there, because since he entered, Chu Qing had been casually covering his face with one hand.

Now, hearing Wen Fusheng say this, he couldn’t help but feel a competitive spirit.

He immediately turned to look at Chu Qing.

With just one glance, Chu Fan was shocked. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Chu Qing take a step forward, coming before him and placing a hand on his shoulder.

Chu Fan was naturally gifted with divine strength, unlike ordinary people.

If it were someone else who acted so presumptuously, a conflict would inevitably arise.

But Chu Qing’s movements were too fast. Firstly, he didn’t react in time, and secondly, that one glance caused his heart to churn with emotions, rendering him unable to react.

Chu Qing said:

“I have always admired Senior Cui. Brother Chu is Senior Cui’s disciple, so his martial arts must be extraordinary.

“Let’s have a good chat and discuss later.”

“You…”

Chu Fan’s eyes were red, but before he could finish, Bian Cheng pulled him away:

“Third Junior Brother, the Third Young Master is no ordinary person. Now that they have something to do, let’s not disturb them here.

“Villa Master Wen, Hall Master Tie, the three juniors will take their leave.”

Wen Fusheng looked at Chu Qing thoughtfully, and waved his hand:

“Go.”

Immediately, Bian Cheng hugged Chu Fan, almost covering his mouth and dragging him away.

Mo Duxing looked at Bian Cheng, then at Chu Qing, then turned around, his white clothes billowing in the wind, his pace unhurried as he followed Bian Cheng.

After seeing them leave, Chu Qing sat down again.

He looked at Wen Fusheng:

“Where were we?”

“The Tomb King.”

Wen Fusheng gave him a reminder.

Chu Qing nodded:

“This person is indeed a trouble…

“Speaking of which, Hall Master Tie, have you heard of the Heavenly Evil Cult?”

Tie Lingyun frowned slightly:

“Heavenly Evil Cult, naturally I’ve heard of it.”

“To my knowledge, since three years ago, the Heavenly Evil Cult has been scheming everywhere in the martial world.

“First Tianwu City, then Divine Blade Hall, and now the Heavenly Mechanism Order and Celestial Mechanism Valley matters, are all orchestrated by them.

“These people are incredibly powerful, their influence spreads throughout the martial world.

“Hall Master Tie’s Iron Blood Hall is powerful, with many and diverse disciples…beware of this Heavenly Evil Cult.”

Chu Qing said this, picked up the tea beside him and took a sip.

But his mind was on Chu Fan’s matter.

Although Chu Fan was reckless, in such a meeting, others might not recognize him because of his youthful growth and changed appearance, but he certainly could.

He needs to give him an explanation later.

Tie Lingyun looked at Wen Fusheng after hearing this, and saw the old man calmly taking a sip of tea:

“This matter may be connected to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, affecting everything. I’m giving you a warning, lest you accidentally fall into their trap and don’t know what’s going on.”

“Hahahaha!!”

Tie Lingyun suddenly burst into laughter:

“There’s actually such a thing. Good, I’ve taken note. I’ll investigate thoroughly when I get back. If there really are members of the Heavenly Evil Cult among my Iron Blood Hall, let them see the methods of my Iron Blood Hall.

“You two little foxes, you tricked me here, making me work like an ox and a horse. I’ll forgive and forget…”

As he spoke, footsteps came from the inner hall.

Immediately, Tie Chuqing’s voice rang out:

“Father!!”

Tie Lingyun stood up abruptly, and saw Tie Chuqing rushing into Tie Lingyun’s arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

“Good daughter, have you suffered?”

Tie Lingyun carefully hugged his daughter, patted her shoulder to release her, and examined her carefully:

“This damned old ghost Wen, did he mistreat you?”

He saw that Tie Chuqing had injuries, but recalling Chu Qing’s earlier statement that Tie Chuqing was almost killed by Flower Beauty, the injuries now matched.

“It’s…not that I was mistreated.”

Tie Chuqing was telling the truth. Although in the Celestial Mechanism Net Formation, Siye wanted to kill her to silence her.

But she was ultimately stopped by Chu Qing.

Her treatment has been quite good since then…and she was well protected during last night’s chaos.

Now that she sees her father, even though she feels a little wronged, she also knows that this is still Luochenshan Villa, so it’s not good to complain in front of Wen Fusheng.

Tie Lingyun nodded upon seeing this:

“Good, good, good, it’s fine as long as you weren’t wronged.”

After saying that, he looked at Wen Fusheng:

“I will pay attention to what you said.

“Your Luochenshan Villa has a lot of things going on today, I won’t bother you, I’ll take my daughter and leave…”

Having said that, he looked at Chu Qing again:

“When you have time in the future, come to my Iron Blood Hall as a guest.”

“Good, if I have free time, I will certainly disturb you.”

Chu Qing clasped his fists.

“Wonderful!”

Tie Lingyun laughed heartily, and then flicked his sleeve:

“Let’s go!!”

Chu Qing and Wen Fusheng sent them to the gate together. Watching the group ride away, the old man and young man exchanged a glance.

Now, there is only one loose end left to this matter.

The two people said nothing, and went directly to find Sang Qing.

Siye remained guarding there, never leaving.

Chu Qing and Wen Fusheng didn’t stay in the room long, only about an incense stick’s worth of time, and the two came out of the room.

But the expressions of the two were not very good.

Chu Qing said with a dark face:

“You didn’t say that your Soul Piercing Finger could kill someone.”

“…The Soul Piercing Finger can cause such pain, how could there be no damage? Where can you find a skill that simply makes people suffer?”

Wen Fusheng shrugged.

The two of them had gone to interrogate Sang Qing, mainly asking about the Tomb King and the Heavenly Evil Cult.

However, Sang Qing knew little about the Tomb King, and said nothing about the Heavenly Evil Cult.

Wen Fusheng, in a fit of anger, used the Soul Piercing Finger on him again.

As a result, Sang Qing, already seriously injured, had already suffered serious injuries from the previous Soul Piercing Finger, and now with another one, he couldn’t take it and died from bleeding from all seven orifices.

Thus, Chu Qing’s Kill Order quest was completed.

However, the information obtained from Sang Qing was very little.

After Sang Qing’s death, Chu Qing gained another optional treasure box, a 【Hidden Weapon Box】.

This left Chu Qing very disappointed.

He thought that this Kill Order would allow him to obtain an Internal Energy skill.

The result…a total of five treasure boxes, none of them contained Internal Energy.

But now that things have come to this, it’s useless to say anything else.

Chu Qing said goodbye to Wen Fusheng and decided to go back and open the boxes first.

Wen Fusheng nodded, letting Chu Qing go first, while he had something to say to Siye…

Chu Qing didn’t bother to listen to what the two of them were going to say, returned to his courtyard, sat on the bed and opened the system interface.

【Quest: Kill Order!】

【Current Progress: Three.】

【Quest Reward One: Choose one from the optional Martial Arts Treasure Boxes.】

【Quest Reward Two: One Treasure Box Upgrade Chance.】

【Currently Available Treasure Box: Sound Cultivation Treasure Box, Strange Skill Treasure Box, Palm Technique Treasure Box, Protective Treasure Chest, Hidden Weapon Box.】

Looking at these five options, Chu Qing first eliminated the Hidden Weapon Box and the Palm Technique Treasure Box.

He had already obtained the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and as for hidden weapons…although the Little Lee Flying Knife had reached the level of a refined weapon, it was still ultimately a flying knife technique.

With these two, at least for now, it was completely sufficient.

As for the remaining three…Chu Qing was a little hesitant.

“Protective Treasure Chest, should be able to open a Protective Divine Skill…

“Protecting oneself is still necessary.

“But what kind of skill is in the Strange Skill Treasure Box? What kind of unique skill can it open?

“This treasure box should come from Shi Ye…it seems that the Kill Order is specifically giving out treasure boxes.

“His Netherworld Rebirth Manual is indeed a unique martial art.”

Chu Qing pondered as he looked at the Sound Cultivation Treasure Box.

“Sound Cultivation…sound killing technique!

“This treasure box should be obtained from the first Tomb King.

“It’s just that he died too quickly, I didn’t know what skills he had before I cut off his head with one blow.”

Looking at this Sound Cultivation, Chu Qing couldn’t help but think of Cao Qiu Pu’s Seven Laws Heavenly Sound Sword Technique.

The sword technique and music are combined, using sound to complement the sword, and the sound and sword are in harmony, which is an extremely skillful method.

Unfortunately, Chu Qing has never seen Cao Qiu Pu use his full power.

After much deliberation among these three treasure boxes, Chu Qing gave up on the Strange Skill Treasure Box.

He couldn’t imagine what would come out of it…even if he really got a strange skill, it wouldn’t necessarily improve him much at the moment.

Rather than risk choosing this, it’s better to choose one between the Protective Treasure Chest and the Sound Cultivation Treasure Box.

The reason why he didn’t eliminate the Sound Cultivation Treasure Box was because it’s difficult to say whether it might contain Internal Energy.

If it’s something like a Lion’s Roar, it’s naturally just a power-releasing technique.

But if you’re incredibly lucky…and get something like Celestial Dragon Eight Sounds, then there will definitely be Internal Energy to support it.

In that case, it will certainly have a significant improvement on oneself.

As for the Protective Treasure Chest, the benefits it can bring are even more obvious.

And the reason is the same as the Sound Cultivation Treasure Box; any advanced Protective Divine Skill cultivates both internal and external aspects.

“How should I choose?”

Chu Qing was undecided between the two.

After much deliberation, he finally got up, wrote two pieces of paper, put them in a cup and shook them…but after shaking them twice, he gave up.

His internal energy was profound, and he could hear how the paper was turning.

It seemed to depend entirely on luck, but in reality, it was no different from an open-book exam.

“Forget it, I don’t lack offensive martial arts, but I don’t have a Protective Divine Skill yet.

“Since I have this opportunity, I’ll choose…the Protective Treasure Chest.”

Chu Qing washed his hands by the washbasin and sat back down on the bed.

Having made up his mind, he chose the Protective Treasure Chest.

【You have one Treasure Box Upgrade Chance, do you want to use it?】

“Use it!”

Don’t you want to keep it for later?

Chu Qing didn’t hesitate at all and made his choice directly.

【Used successfully!】

【One unopened Protective Treasure Chest, do you want to open it?】

“That’s it?”

Chu Qing was stunned: “Where’s the effect of the upgrade?”

He looked at the words for a long time, and couldn’t see what was different about this upgraded treasure box.

He felt that his clunky system had probably scammed him again.

But now that things have come to this, whether he was scammed or not is no longer important. Since he has made his choice, he should open it directly.

【Opened successfully, obtained Protective Divine Skill: Unbreakable Golden Body!】

Chu Qing’s heart stirred slightly, and he immediately thought of a martial art that protects the whole body with protective Qi.

But he remembered that this martial art has a weakness under the armpit.

As he was thinking, the next moment, pages of Internal Energy Manuals flooded his mind.

Immediately, he sat cross-legged, only to feel a vast power surging from his Dan Tian, and in the blink of an eye, it merged with the internal energy of the Mingyu True Scripture.

Chu Qing frowned slightly. The two streams of True Qi were not of the same origin, and now that they are combined, they are mutually exclusive.

The Unbreakable Golden Body also has accompanying Internal Energy.

Chu Qing once again experienced the painful yet joyful feeling of obtaining Internal Energy.

He first understood the Internal Energy Manual thoroughly, and was about to find a way to merge it with the Mingyu True Scripture.

But he suddenly paused…

“Wait…where’s the weakness?”
