I Have A Qi Fortune Altar.
Chapter 282 - 282 261 The Secret of Reach Profound

Chapter 282: Chapter 261 The Secret of Reach Profound! Chapter 282: Chapter 261 The Secret of Reach Profound! With coercion and enticement, he was straightforward.

For the current Chen Yuan, there was no longer any need for cunning schemes, at least not with Wei Xin. He only gave him two options,

Either annihilation or alliance!

There was no third choice.

This wasn’t because Chen Yuan was so arrogant that he regarded no one and didn’t value Wei Xin; rather, his time was very pressing, and it was impossible for him to use other methods to foster a good relationship.

Doing so would have been putting the cart before the horse.

Wei Xin had always been a clever man, which could be seen from the way he had kept a low profile. Chen Yuan felt that he would give a satisfactory reply.

Even if, retreating ten thousand steps, Wei Xin was unwilling to join forces and wanted to confront him head-on, Chen Yuan wasn’t afraid of him. Apart from his own strength, three Reach Profound experts were on their side, making it very easy to annihilate Shenxiao Hall.

Furthermore, not long ago, Chen Yuan had just wiped out Dragon Tiger Sect and Azure Flood Dragon Association, and now was the time when his momentum was at its peak. Who else would dare to confront his sharp edge?

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, his gaze fixed tightly on Wei Xin. It seemed that he had given the choice to him, but in reality, it was still in his hands. When he said he was confident in persuading Wei Xin to Tao Qingyuan and Lv Yuan, he had already prepared this argument.

“Is Lord Chen threatening me?”

With a calm and deep voice, Wei Xin suppressed the anger in his heart at this juncture. His years of Qi cultivation Kung Fu were not in vain.

“It’s a choice,” Chen Yuan loosened his grip on the sword and said,

“My grudge with Gold Mountain Monastery is irreconcilable, and the danger will come for me after Fa Hai makes his breakthrough. Therefore, I must strike first. If Hall Master Wei is unwilling to join forces, our odds of success are not high, and we may well fail.

There’s no need to elaborate on the consequences of failure, as we both understand. So, I must act this way. Do not think that I’m merely alarming you with an empty threat. You have seen for yourself how Dragon Tiger Sect and Azure Flood Dragon Association ended.”

“When it comes to fighting, Lord Chen never shows mercy.”

This statement softened the previous coercive words, giving Wei Xin a way out, after all, he was quite old and had a respectable status. Didn’t Chen Yuan need to give him some face?

But what Chen Yuan saw as giving face, to Wei Xin, was an even deeper threat. After a long silence, Wei Xin knew he could not refuse Chen Yuan,

To refuse was to die, resulting in the downfall of Shenxiao Hall. He believed Chen Yuan was not joking; he might be able to drag Chen Yuan down with him, but it wouldn’t be worth it.

“What benefits are there for Shenxiao Hall?” In the end, he agreed to the terms.

Mainly because Chen Yuan’s direct approach had come too quickly, giving him little time to react. He was asked to make a stance on the spot.

With a hint of a smile, Chen Yuan chuckled. Wei Xin indeed understood the stakes, and Chen Yuan’s objective was also achieved. Counting Wei Xin, there were now five Reach Profound experts on their side,

effectively winning over all the top experts within Nanling Prefecture, aside from Gold Mountain Monastery.

“Firstly, with the fall of Gold Mountain Monastery, a great amount of benefits will be available. Shenxiao Hall can take a portion of these spoils. Without the hindrance of other powers, there’s no need for Shenxiao Hall to stay in hiding anymore. Secondly, the death of Fa Hai concerns the entire Nanling Prefecture. Hall Master Wei also knows that if we wait for his breakthrough, the situation in Nanling Prefecture will become unpredictable.”

“Thirdly, cooperation with Heavenly Patrol Bureau can reduce many troubles.”

Chen Yuan extended three fingers, explaining each point to Wei Xin.

Wei Xin was actually aware of these things, but he needed an assurance from Chen Yuan.

After all, Chen Yuan’s propensity for killing was well-known. What would happen if, after destroying Gold Mountain Monastery, he turned his hand against Shenxiao Hall? And he couldn’t expect Chen Yuan to agree in writing, as that would be even more dangerous.

“Who will be taking action?” Wei Xin continued to inquire right away.

This was something he needed to clarify. He knew something of Fa Hai’s strength and if their own strength was insufficient, it would be tantamount to marching to their deaths. Wei Xin was very fond of his life; the survival of Shenxiao Hall depended on him alone. Should he fall, the consequences were unthinkable…

“Hall Master Wei knows,” Chen Yuan gave Wei Xin a look:

“Lord Chen never acts beyond his ability. Since we’re planning to move against Fa Hai, it’s bound to be foolproof.”

“I understand,” Wei Xin said.

“So much the better.”

“When do we make our move?”

“Wait for my message, but it will probably be in these next few days. We must act before Fa Hai’s breakthrough,” Chen Yuan said with a grave expression.

“Alright.”

“Then, Lord Chen will take his leave.”

Wei Xin: “Lord Chen, please wait a moment.”

Chen Yuan: “Hall Master Wei, do you have any other questions?”

“No questions, just that I’ve heard of the exceptional strength of Patrol Envoy Chen, and I’d like to exchange experiences with him.” A sharp glint flickered in Wei Xin’s eyes. Though he spoke of exchanging experiences, in reality, those at their realm hardly qualified to speak of ‘the Dao’. He simply wanted to exchange experiences with Chen Yuan and, incidentally… foster a closer relationship.

Chen Yuan’s potential was evident to all who observed, and today Wei Xin had personally experienced his temperament, realizing that his future might be extraordinary. If they could forge a good relationship, there might be unexpected rewards.

Of course, even if Chen Yuan did not keep in touch with Shenxiao Hall in the future, with the influence he had within, he could still bring considerable benefits to Shenxiao Hall.

Speaking of exchanging experiences, Wei Xin merely intended to impart some of his own.

Knowing about Chen Yuan’s background since the day he had sent a visiting card, Wei Xin had had it investigated and learned that Chen Yuan did not have much of a background. Coupled with his rapid rise, it was certain he hadn’t systematically understood Martial Arts.

Although Shenxiao Hall was a minor sect, it had been passed down through generations with many classical texts left by former elders. Wei Xin himself was once a master who could have attempted to reach the Core Realm. He was confident he could provide Chen Yuan with some assistance, which he assumed would not be refused.

Wei Xin’s guess was correct; after hearing his offer, Chen Yuan truly did not refuse but instead sat down solemnly, bowed to him, and expressed his willingness to listen.

Although Wei Xin’s attempt at breakthrough had failed, he could still provide much assistance to Chen Yuan. Compared to Tao Qingyuan, Wei Xin, who had once attempted to reach the Core Realm, was stronger.

Chen Yuan had flipped through some of the classical texts from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, but unfortunately, they provided little help to him. On the other hand, several teachings from Tao Qingyuan had been quite beneficial.

Wei Xin smiled, with hardly anything to hide, and he began to explain to Chen Yuan his insights and the aspects to be mindful of in the Reach Profound Realm step by step.

He knew that he was only getting ahead for a short while since it would not be long before Chen Yuan was transferred. If Chen Yuan was moved to Qingzhou City, Wei Xin’s small piece of experience would hardly matter.

What understanding could compare to the direct guidance of a power from the Core Realm?

Jiang He, the Golden Envoy of Qingzhou, was an infamous and menacing figure in the Jianghu, vastly superior in strength and realm.

Wei Xin detailed the processes of his cultivation journey, from the first acupoint in Reach Profound, Heavenly Mysterious, to the second acupoint, Heavenly Element, and finally, to the third acupoint, Heavenly Palace.

According to him, the cultivation process in Reach Profound involved gradually unlocking three major acupoints, awaking the Essence, Qi, and Spirit one by one, with the Heavenly Mysterious Acupoint representing Qi, that is, True Yuan.

When True Yuan filled the Dantian, it marked the perfection of the first acupoint.

The Heavenly Element Acupoint represented Essence, signifying the Essence within the body, representing the physical Essence Blood. When all the meridians within the body were interconnected and all the acupoints opened widely, it could harmonize with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy, that would represent the perfection of the second acupoint.

When Wei Xin reached this level, Chen Yuan’s gaze wavered. It seemed as though all his acupoints were already widely opened. When he had his breakthrough to Gang Condensation Realm, he was penetrated by tadpole characters from the Supreme Mysterious Scripture text, spreading throughout every part of his body.

To this day, during cultivation, his acupoints remained wide open, absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy.

Does that mean he has already cultivated to the second acupoint?

When Gang Condensation Realm was first discussed by Tao Qingyuan, he hadn’t been as detailed, and thus Chen Yuan’s understanding was not very clear. Thinking this, he began to subtly probe Wei Xin about the second acupoint.

The answer he received was not entirely satisfactory, but it did provide him with some insights into his own situation.

He indeed had an advantage in the second acupoint, but that alone was not enough. He still needed to unlock all the meridians and fuse them together, tightly connecting the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy with the Dantian.

After briefly finishing the description of the second acupoint, Wei Xin, looking intense, started to share about the third acupoint in Reach Profound, Heavenly Palace, with Chen Yuan.

This was the last and most difficult level in the Reach Profound Realm, requiring enlightenment of the Martial Arts True Intent belonging to the Martial Artist and unlocking the Heavenly Palace Divine Acupoint located within the skull.

This step was dangerous, and success was not guaranteed. It was not about piling up resources but required understanding.

The third acupoint was a watershed. By enlightening the Martial Arts True Intent, a Martial Artist’s strength would receive a huge boost, which varied from person to person, each unique…

Only when they felt their True Intent was perfected and their Divine Soul was full could they begin preparations for a breakthrough.

As for how to make a breakthrough, Wei Xin fell silent for a while, as if awakening dusty memories, telling Chen Yuan that Core Formation must be extremely cautious since overcoming three challenges was necessary for success.

He had fallen at the second challenge, the life and death test, which led to his efforts ending in vain, his cultivation and lifespan greatly reduced, turning his hair white overnight.

Looking at Chen Yuan’s thoughtful expression, Wei Xin smiled and added that each individual’s circumstances were different. His experiences were merely references, and there might be inaccuracies. They should be taken as personal opinions.

Even the description of the three acupoints in Reach Profound might not match Chen Yuan’s case, urging him not to be too influenced by Wei Xin’s words.

Nevertheless, Wei Xin’s advice did provide Chen Yuan with significant insights. After a long while, Chen Yuan seriously bowed to Wei Xin in gratitude for the shared experiences.

Of course, he would not accept them blindly. In the future, he would consult with Tao Qingyuan and even other Martial Artists to find the cultivation path that suited him the best.

Martial Arts may be divided into Six Realms, but no two Martial Artists in the world are the same; their encounters and cultivation paths differ. Due to the Qi Fortune Altar, Chen Yuan could not be like ordinary martial artists.

Chen Yuan had gained a lot from this visit, perhaps more than he expected. Under the pressure and temptation from Wei Xin, the latter ended up sharing his own experiences from his time of cultivation.

Watching Chen Yuan’s retreating figure, Wei Xin, who had been eyeing him, curved his lips into a smile.

With the favor of his guidance, Shenxiao Hall might have an easier time.
