I Have A Qi Fortune Altar.
Chapter 289 - 289 268 Qi Fortune Opportunity

Chapter 289: Chapter 268: Qi Fortune! Opportunity! Chapter 289: Chapter 268: Qi Fortune! Opportunity! Because, as previously mentioned, command authority rested entirely with Chen Yuan today. Although it was said in passing, and Chen Yuan himself wouldn’t take it too seriously, they would still give him this much face.

Ultimately, the action against Gold Mountain Monastery was indeed orchestrated by Chen Yuan. Both Tao Qingyuan and Wei Xin Zhang Xuan were persuaded by him.

Moreover, Zhang Xuan wanted to confer a favor upon Chen Yuan, hoping that he would join the Zhang clan in the future, while Tao Qingyuan hoped that Chen Yuan would remember his favor and grant blessings to his descendants, and even to himself.

Just like Shi Yunlong, both Lv Yuan and Wei Xin prepared to court Chen Yuan, this stock with potential. Thus, a peculiar scene unfolded, as their gazes unanimously turned towards Chen Yuan.

Sensing the underlying intentions, Chen Yuan nodded in recognition and stepped down from the void, looking down at Fa Hai who was struggling to breathe on the ground.

Now, he looked very much like a dying dog!

Who could have imagined that the esteemed and widely known abbot of Gold Mountain Monastery would become like this in the blink of an eye? Perhaps no one would believe it even if it were told.

After all, any power with significance in Nanling Prefecture knew just how formidable Gold Mountain Monastery was, and Abbot Fa Hai was praised as the strongest in Nanling.

Chen Yuan smiled, suddenly recalling the day he had prepared to take action against the Dragon Tiger Sect, when a youngster asked him when he would become number one in Nanling. At that time, his answer was “today.”

Yet it was only now that he almost killed this so-called number one of Nanling.

Thinking about it, it had indeed been difficult.

Not to mention convincing Tao Qingyuan and Wei Xin to take action, just Fa Hai’s strength alone was enough to inspire deep apprehension. To speak from the heart, was Fa Hai powerful?

This was beyond doubt!

Who else in Nanling Prefecture could hold out for so long under the joint efforts of six Reach Profound experts aside from Fa Hai?

If he hadn’t been so eager to kill Chen Yuan and detonated his Buddha Beads magic artifact, he could have held out even longer. Despite this, he still inflicted serious injuries on Chen Yuan.

His power was plain for all to see.

But…

No matter how strong, one could not withstand the united efforts of several people, especially when each of them was a remarkable Reach Profound expert.

When Chen Yuan had repelled Fa Hai just now, he had thought that if he hadn’t taken the initiative to strike first, what would the scene have been like after Fa Hai had successfully broken through?

He felt that if Fa Hai had been adamant about killing him, his only option would have been to leave Nanling Prefecture.

By then, their joint efforts would only amount to a suicide mission.

After gazing at Fa Hai for a moment, Chen Yuan swallowed back all the words he wanted to say. It seemed… there was nothing worth saying to him, to a dead man,

Was it worth wasting his breath?

Whether Fa Hai now regretted provoking him or harbored resentment and curses against him, as the saying goes, “The victor becomes king, the vanquished is the outlaw”; he no longer had the privilege of a conversation with Chen Yuan.

Raising his hand, the Yan Ling Saber at his waist whistled out, emitting a loud dragon-like roar as it was slashed down from the void directly onto Fa Hai’s body.

The powerful sword light completely dismembered Fa Hai.

In the case of others, maybe they would have been given a dignified end, but for Fa Hai… Chen Yuan had no such wish.

At the moment of Fa Hai’s death, Chen Yuan imperceptibly opened his Dharma Eye and stared intently at the wisp of golden Buddha Light on his body. Ever since his first conflict with Gold Mountain Monastery and Fa Hai’s appearance, Chen Yuan had noticed something unusual about him.

It was a suspicion of Qi Fortune…

The reason it was only a suspicion was that Chen Yuan himself couldn’t confirm whether it really was Qi Fortune, as in his several recollections, Qi Fortune had always appeared as an Innate blue,

Yet Fa Hai’s Qi Fortune was distinctly golden, which was somewhat peculiar.

From that moment, he had been speculating on and coveting this thing within Fa Hai. Although Chen Yuan’s insistence on taking action against Fa Hai was largely due to their previous enmity,

he could not say that this suspected Qi Fortune played no part.

However, this speculation had always seemed unlikely to Chen Yuan because he felt that only after acquiring an opportunity would the next child of Qi Fortune reveal themselves before him.

Fa Hai… was very different from others.

While the hope was slim, Chen Yuan hadn’t entirely given up on it. In fact, he was more eager than ever for his opponent to possess what he desired.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t cultivate without the opportunity; he simply missed the thrill of having an advantage. Going back to hard cultivation felt rather lackluster.

The severed head rolled to a stop at Chen Yuan’s feet. The golden Buddha Light in his eyes was now gradually fading…

Chen Yuan’s gaze narrowed, and he seemed to freeze in place.

Wei Xin and Shi Yunlong, who had been watching the scene, exchanged glances, not quite understanding why Chen Yuan suddenly became still. Was he perhaps reminiscing about something?

About a dozen breaths of time later, the golden Buddha Light had dissipated by ninety percent. Chen Yuan’s eyes widened in thought, and if one were close enough, they might even catch a fleeting look of shock in his eyes.

Underneath the dispersing golden light was a wisp of the very familiar Innate green Qi Fortune!

“Could this be… obscured?”

Chen Yuan’s brows furrowed as he pondered the abnormality.

This was his first encounter with such a situation, where Innate green Qi Fortune was concealed by a golden Buddha Light, so much so that even his Heavenly Eye Technique couldn’t penetrate it, which was indeed odd.

Could it be that Fa Hai harbored some other secret?

What on earth was that golden Buddha light?

In an instant, Chen Yuan thought of many speculations, his gaze flickering, while the golden Buddha light below had also completely dissipated at this moment.

It was as if there was some tremendous attraction on Chen Yuan’s body, as the Qi Fortune, like a roaming dragon from Fa Hai’s head, drilled into Chen Yuan’s body.

Qi Fortune, at last, had arrived!

In the darkness, he heard the faint whirring of the Qi Fortune Altar in his mind, as if it were calculating the secrets of heaven or sensing everything about Chen Yuan. In the next moment, a new piece of information appeared in Chen Yuan’s heart and mind.

“Shenxiao Hall, Sect Leader’s Token, Innate Spiritual Energy!”

Quietly pondering the meaning embodied in this guidance message, Chen Yuan’s brows furrowed slightly. He hadn’t expected that this time his target would actually be the Shenxiao Hall.

This made him hesitate slightly, after all, Wei Xin had been quite helpful to him this time, plus the favor from before, Chen Yuan truly did not wish to act against them.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan raised his head to look at Wei Xin in the void, causing a shiver to run down his spine and inevitably making Wei Xin wonder if Chen Yuan was still not yet content?

Considering targeting the Shenxiao Hall?

It must be said, he was very accurate at reading people.

Of course, the impression was mainly because the murderous aura Chen Yuan exuded was simply too intense; anyone who provoked him was bound to die.

Taking a deep breath, Wei Xin suppressed the shock and suspicion in his heart. According to rumors, Chen Yuan would repay kindness and avenge wrongs, so he should not stop there.

No matter what, he had helped him a lot, so how could he possibly attack him without reason?

Smiling at him, Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze, his eyes narrowed as he pondered something for a long time before he regained his composure. He inwardly hoped that Shenxiao Hall would be sensible,

even if he had to use some Primordial Crystals in exchange.

He just did not know how important this Sect Leader’s Token was to Shenxiao Hall. If it wasn’t significant, it wouldn’t be so difficult to persuade Wei Xin, especially since he seemed to still be keen on befriending Chen Yuan.

But if it was significant, then… that would be somewhat troublesome.

Although his style of doing things had always been quite fierce, that was towards enemies. As for those like Wei Xin who had shown goodwill toward him, Chen Yuan was also happy to make friends.

“I must find a way to persuade Wei Xin, even if it means paying some price….” Chen Yuan’s gaze intensified.

Opportunities like these, he must seize for himself. Based on his previous experiences, many opportunities were interconnected, and missing one might cause complications later on.

And the Innate Spiritual Energy that was indicated this time had some similarities with the Phoenix Marrow Energy he had been led to before. Strictly speaking, that Phoenix Marrow Energy was a kind of Innate Energy that hadn’t dissipated from Shen Yanshu.

The two might be similar, likely able to directly enhance his cultivation.

Thus, he could not let go.

For Wei Xin, who had assisted him, Chen Yuan would give him a satisfying reciprocation as a token of gratitude for this help and previous guidance.

If Wei Xin was still unwilling to cooperate, then, perhaps, Chen Yuan would have to resort to some extraordinary measures.

…

…

After Fa Hai’s death, there was no one left at Gold Mountain Monastery capable of resisting them, and even though they did not intervene further, the situation on the battlefield quickly came to an end.

Because the remaining Martial Monks and the monks of Gold Mountain Monastery were already in despair.

Perhaps their hearts yearned for the Buddha, but when faced with death, how many could remain indifferent?

Following the brawl, fewer than sixty monks from Gold Mountain Monastery were left, kneeling on the ground awaiting their fate. Initially, Chen Yuan wanted to fulfill his promise and erect a Jingguan from them immediately.

But upon reflection, Gold Mountain Monastery had not yet been searched, so he then ordered Yue Shan, Lu Yang, and the Colonel of the Military Equipment Army to lead the monks to search Gold Mountain Monastery with all their might.

As the top power in Nanling Prefecture, it should satisfy him.

Cultivation, after all, requires quite a bit of Primordial Crystal.

Most people started to get busy. Shi Yunlong immediately sat cross-legged to heal his wounds, Tao Qingyuan, and a few others each commanded some people, while Wei Xin, who had come alone, stood aside with his hands behind him, as if detached from everything.

But in reality, his eyes were filled with envy. Gold Mountain Monastery—this was the renowned Gold Mountain Monastery, certainly home to many valuable items.

“Senior Wei.”

Chen Yuan, with an innocent face, approached Wei Xin, cupped his fists in salute, and spoke very courteously, even switching from ‘Hall Master Wei’ to ‘Senior Wei.’

It made Wei Xin feel from the bottom of his heart that something was not quite right. He could not help but think of Chen Yuan’s profound smile from earlier.

His gaze shifting, Wei Xin immediately smiled and said, “How is the injury on Patrol Envoy Chen’s body?”

“Just some minor wounds, nothing serious.”

“That’s good.”

“I have to thank Senior Wei for lending a hand this time….”
