Chapter 295: Chapter 274: Innate Spiritual Energy Enters the Body! Chapter 295: Chapter 274: Innate Spiritual Energy Enters the Body! Looking at Wei Xin’s indifferent smile, Chen Yuan nodded and said,

“In that case, I must thank you, Elder Wei.”

The change in the form of address before and after also reflected Chen Yuan’s attitude. Wei Xin was making a friendly gesture toward him, and Chen Yuan naturally accepted it.

Indeed, Chen Yuan possessed the strength to annihilate Shenxiao Hall; with a call to arms, individuals like Zhang Xuan and Tao Qingyuan would give him face, and Shi Yunlong would even be the first to rush to his side.

Yet it was still the same saying: Wei Xin knew how to read the times.

Previously, he had even offered guidance to Chen Yuan. If he took action against Shenxiao Hall, he would feel somewhat remorseful.

He was a man who clearly distinguished between grudges and gratitude. One could see this from his interactions with Zhao Nanshan, Wang Ping, and others.

Acting in one’s own interest was fine, but one must have a set of principles to follow first.

It was precisely because Wei Xin saw this that he declined Chen Yuan’s compensation, and instead bore the pain to gift the Sect Leader’s Token directly to Chen Yuan, deepening their rapport.

If Shenxiao Hall ever faced a disaster in the future, having this relationship would make it easier to ask for help. Moreover, Wei Xin had another plan he had not spoken of.

By giving the Sect Leader’s Token to Chen Yuan, wasn’t that saying Chen Yuan was the Sect Leader of Shenxiao Hall?

Of course, Wei Xin only thought of this and did not dare to imagine Chen Yuan truly becoming the Sect Leader of Shenxiao Hall.

Standing up, Wei Xin smiled heartily and said, “Why speak of thanks? I’ve long wished to make the acquaintance of Lord Chen. It is Lord Chen who has given Shenxiao Hall this opportunity. If anything, it’s I who should be saying thanks.”

After the failure of his breakthrough and experiencing the cold reality following Shenxiao Hall’s decline, Wei Xin felt he had become much more worldly.

The disciple standing to the side kept his head down and said nothing more, seeming to perceive the danger in these conversations. If there was blame, it could only be attributed to Shenxiao Hall’s weakness.

For now, Chen Yuan showed face; otherwise, if he found an excuse to come knocking, how could Shenxiao Hall resist?

“Sooner rather than later, Lord Chen might as well accompany me to the Ancestor Hall now,” Wei Xin invited very sincerely.

“Alright.”

Chen Yuan nodded.

…

…

The Ancestor Hall of Shenxiao Hall was located behind the main hall, styled in an ancient manner with over a dozen disciples wielding swords on guard. Upon seeing Wei Xin and the others approach, they immediately bowed in greeting.

As Wei Xin entered, Chen Yuan discreetly opened his Heavenly Eye, the green light flickered, focusing his gaze on a jade sword that was offered as tribute.

The Jade Sword was about the size of a palm, its whole body a lustrous green held aloft by an austere altar. Under the Heavenly Eye, it radiated a rich green glow; upon closer inspection, one could see a small snake slowly moving inside the sword.

After confirming the target, Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze, looking around the Ancestor Hall of Shenxiao Hall, where several memorial tablets were displayed.

These were the spirit tablets of the elders and ancestors of Shenxiao Hall.

Upon entering the Ancestor Hall, Wei Xin took a deep breath, took a stick of incense from his disciple, lit it, straightened his expression, knelt on the cushion, and kowtowed three times,

silently thinking, “The unworthy descendant pays respects.”

Seeing this, Chen Yuan’s eyelids drooped; he also took a stick of incense and respectfully placed it in the incense burner.

Since Wei Xin was so discerning, he could not but show respect in return.

Whether out of awe of Chen Yuan’s might or for other reasons, in any case, he had already done his best. Even though he was a sect leader, passing on the Sect Leader’s Token to Chen Yuan would subject him to criticism.

Seeing Chen Yuan offer incense, Wei Xin felt somewhat reassured. He felt that although Chen Yuan’s ways were rather ruthless, he wasn’t completely ruthless.

With both hands, Wei Xin took down the Jade Sword from the altar and whispered to Chen Yuan,

“Shenxiao Hall was relocated to Nanling from another state. This Jade Sword has been offered as a tribute for over a hundred years. It is said to have been the personal sword of the first ancestor,

named Divine Firmament.

This Jade is also extremely high-quality Spirit Jade. As the saying goes, ‘A precious sword is entrusted to a hero.’ Today, I present this Divine Firmament Sword to Lord Chen, hoping that you will treat it well in the future.”

Accepting the Jade Sword, Chen Yuan nodded solemnly and gently stroked it with his fingers. Though it was a Jade Sword, he could sense its edge.

Considering the Innate Spiritual Energy within the sword, he felt it was sufficient to become a Magic Artifact.

Most suitable for a Sword Cultivator.

“I shall,” Chen Yuan said.

Taking a deep breath, Wei Xin forced a smile. No matter what, the matter was resolved, and Shenxiao Hall had now formed a bond with Chen Yuan.

It’s a pity, he thought, if Chen Yuan had become the Green Envoy of Nanling, perhaps it would have been even better.

After securing the Jade Sword, Wei Xin didn’t wait for Chen Yuan to make his excuses to leave; instead, he immediately laid out a banquet and shared several pots of drinks with Chen Yuan, indicating a sense of friendship beyond their years.

After the third round of drinks and a variety of dishes, Wei Xin even shared some of his personal experiences that he had not mentioned before, including some that were related to the foundation of his cultivation.

If Chen Yuan had been his enemy, it would have been easier to find his weaknesses.

Yet he did so willingly, reasoning that he had already extended a kindness to Chen Yuan, so why not deepen it a bit more…

Chen Yuan saw through these things clearly, knowing Wei Xin’s intentions in courting his favor. If Shenxiao Hall ever needed him in the future, he would not be stingy if he could help.

But chances would probably be slim; after leaving Nanling Prefecture, he still didn’t know whether he would remain in Qingzhou City or be demoted to serve as a Green Envoy in a lower jurisdiction,

After distancing himself from Shenxiao Hall, there was nothing he could do to help them.

As for Zhang Xuan, Chen Yuan could say a few nice words on his behalf; as long as Shenxiao Hall didn’t rebel, Zhang Xuan could surely turn a blind eye.

It was foreseeable that as long as Changle Gang and Shenxiao Hall accepted the benefits from Gold Mountain Monastery and Azure Flood Dragon Association like before, their power would surely increase greatly.

When he left Shenxiao Hall, the sky was already growing dark. Wei Xin originally planned to have Chen Yuan stay overnight and be served by a few clean and innocent female disciples,

thus deepening their… camaraderie.

However, Chen Yuan politely declined, not because he was disinterested in women, but because he could hardly wait to extract that strand of Innate Spiritual Energy from the Divine Firmament Jade Sword.

Chen Yuan had always harbored a great interest in cultivation.

It was his most important reliance in this world and the reason others revered him.

Strength was everything.

When Chen Yuan returned to the Chen Residence, the sky had completely darkened; if not for the round moon hanging in the sky that gave off its light, the average commoner would hardly be able to see the path clearly.

Looking up, Chen Yuan felt no homesickness. Whatever he needed to think about, he had already thought about; he was now able to suppress his own thoughts.

Since he had arrived in this world, then he would live well…

Live to a point where he was satisfied with himself!

The Yunjiang Four Ghosts, the guards of the residence, sensed someone entering the mansion and were about to shout in alarm when Chen Yuan stopped them with a look, instructing them to rest and alternate their guard duty.

Afterward, Chen Yuan proceeded to the secret room he had meticulously arranged.

He now had a number of treasures: the Blood Evil Saber, the True Dragon Scale Armor, the black stone he had realized from the Boundless Killing Path, and the freshly acquired Divine Firmament Jade Sword.

His fingers caressed the Jade Sword as Chen Yuan pondered the origin of the Innate Spiritual Energy within it. Wei Xin had already mentioned that the sword had been worshiped for a hundred years.

Was it left behind by the first generation ancestor of Shenxiao Hall, or was it nurtured over those hundred years?

After some consideration, Chen Yuan leaned toward the latter; if the ancestor of Shenxiao Hall truly knew about the Innate Spiritual Energy, he certainly would have informed his descendants.

So, the question arose: how could a hundred years of nurturing give rise to Innate Spiritual Energy?

If he tried nurturing it in the future, could he also produce Spiritual Energy?

With a flickering gaze, Chen Yuan pondered for a while, then shook his head slightly, sat cross-legged on the cushion, and held the still Divine Firmament Jade Sword in his hands.

Although he had no method to extract the Innate Spiritual Energy from within, the Qi Fortune Altar was surely capable of it.

This had already been tested before.

After half a year of acclimating and learning, he now had some understanding of the altar. It seemed to have spiritual intelligence, but in truth, it was not so; it was merely an item that guided him.

And its purpose should be to guide fate.

Using Qi Fortune as fuel, after consumption, it could find the most suitable objects for his cultivation, be it Spiritual Objects or treasures that could increase his Cultivation.

As for being treated as a puppet on strings, that was utter nonsense.

If that were the case, Chen Yuan would not possibly be able to utilize the Qi Fortune hidden within the altar; it would have been taken away by some indescribable higher power long ago.

Of course, that was what he thought, but he still remained vigilant about the altar. Until the day he discovered the origin of the Qi Fortune Altar, he could not relax his guard.

Dispelling distracting thoughts, Chen Yuan’s spirit focused intently on the Divine Firmament Jade Sword. Approximately a dozen breaths later, a green strand of Qi Fortune surged out from the Qi Fortune Altar,

like a meandering little snake, burrowing into the body of the Jade Sword.

The next moment.

The long-silent Divine Firmament Jade Sword seemed to awaken, flying out of Chen Yuan’s hands and hovering in front of him with its blade radiating light, illuminating the entire room.

Even Chen Yuan’s face was cast in a green hue, but his gaze remained intensely fixed on the object.

Then, he clearly saw a strand of Spiritual Energy being drawn out from within the Jade Sword, moving like a living creature, circling around Chen Yuan.

With just one breath, Chen Yuan felt refreshed and completely at ease.

As the Supreme Mysterious Scripture Technique operated, Chen Yuan’s limbs and orifices opened up like whirlpools the size of thumbs, eager to swallow the strand of Innate Spiritual Energy before him.

This strand of Innate Spiritual Energy seemed to possess its own intelligence; after circling a few times, it entered directly through the top of his head.

Like moving from the sweltering heat of summer into an ice house, a cool sensation filled his mind. As it was drawn in, the Innate Spiritual Energy in Chen Yuan’s meridians circulated through his whole body.

It was as if his entire body had been cleansed by this Spiritual Energy, expelling the residual injuries and toxic residue from elixirs previously consumed.

A foul stench emitted from Chen Yuan’s body, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright. He had never imagined that this strand of Innate Spiritual Energy could cleanse his body like the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Pearl.

Moreover, it contained a vast amount of power…
