Chapter 37: Chapter 37: The Three-Year Agreement!

Lu Chen could see that the woman didn’t think highly of him.

Otherwise, she would have told him some information about Tianyuan.

But fortunately, although he was a martial artist, he was different from ordinary martial artists.

"Today you look down on me, but one day I will surely surprise you!"

Lu Chen clenched his fists tightly.

He knew that if he could still stand here in three years, the woman still wouldn’t think much of him.

Unless he had stronger strength!

For instance...

Surpassing her in realm!

"Three years isn’t long, but it’s not short either! I can’t just rush there recklessly, it’s better to cultivate in these mountains for a while! Besides, I can collect demon pills, and who knows, maybe I can trade them for money!"

At a certain realm, gold and silver are worthless.

Lu Chen was well aware of this.

He still had some gold notes on him, which were more than enough for basic expenses.

But before going to Tianyuan, he might need to purchase some necessary items.

Such as Yuan Stones!

Yuan Stone is a type of stone that contains Yuan power and is a currency among congenital martial artists.

It can be used for cultivation and also to buy some good stuff.

A single Yuan Stone can be exchanged for a daughter’s ransom!

But no one would make such a trade.

And above the Yuan Stone, there is the Spirit Stone.

Although Lu Chen did not know what Spirit Stone was, he could guess its significance.

In Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, cultivating and making money go hand in hand, why not do it?

However, this was still her territory, so he decided to move away from there to avoid the woman making a move against him.

After walking back about thirty li through the mountains, Lu Chen felt it was far enough.

Sharpening the axe won’t delay cutting wood; he made plans for the long term.

Finding a cliffside, he wielded his long spear with the Imperial Command’s Heavenly Inquiry Spear Technique to forcibly chisel out a cave large enough to shelter himself, making it his temporary abode.

"I should also find some dry grass for bedding, otherwise, not to mention the damp rising into my body, the ground is too hard and uncomfortable to sleep on!"

Lu Chen was efficient; he turned the cave into a shelter overnight.

And by daybreak, he instinctively used his pupils to look for places where spiritual power converged.

"I almost forgot, Yaotiao has already found the Spirit-communicating Grass!"

He smacked his forehead, not only had he completed his mission, but he had also given Qin Yaotiao a new path.

Though he had activated the Pupil Skill, he incidentally found that not far away, there was also spiritual power converging!

"Huh? Is there more Spirit-communicating Grass?"

Lu Chen suddenly became interested; the last time it had taken a month to find one.

But this time, when it was not needed, he encountered it by chance.

"Might as well take a look."

He had no jade box and therefore couldn’t store Spiritual Medicine.

But if he noted the location of the Spiritual Medicine, coming back later to collect it wasn’t impossible!

Instantly, he felt elated and walked toward the direction where spiritual power was gathering.

"Huh, it’s not Spirit-communicating Grass?"

After passing through a half-person tall patch of grass, Lu Chen found his target, but the Spiritual Medicine was entirely different in appearance.

Spirit-communicating Grass looked like wild grass.

But this was a very beautiful purple flower!

Under the flower stalk, there were nine leaves, lush and vibrant.

Although he couldn’t identify it, he could see that the flower was about to bloom, and even if he were able to harvest it, the medicinal effect might not be optimal.

"It looks like I really will have to come back later to harvest it."

Lu Chen noted down the flower’s features, thinking that when he left the mountain, he would go see Doctor Zhao, who might recognize it.

Although he returned without achieving his goal, it opened up new ideas for Lu Chen.

If there is enough time, he could leave the mountain to custom-make some jade boxes and then return to collect the Spiritual Medicine.

If he hurried his pace, it shouldn’t take too much time.

He wasn’t familiar with Tianyuan.

The only place he knew was Heavenly Book Academy!

Perhaps, at that time, he could use the Spiritual Medicine to exchange for good stuff at Heavenly Book Academy and even get some information about Tianyuan!

Better safe than sorry.

Since Tianyuan had a dangerous reputation, he would not be foolish enough to dive in headfirst!

With a more clear plan in mind, Lu Chen acted according to his strategy.

Since beasts roamed at night, he practiced the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method during the day and used the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique and Heavenly Inquiry Spear Technique to hunt for demon beasts at night.

If he encountered Spiritual Medicine, he quietly noted their appearance and location.

Half a year later, Lu Chen had made considerable progress in strength.

One day, he suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing within them.

"Spiritual power not only travels through the nine meridians but also gradually permeates the five viscera... does this mean that I have reached the Visceral Refinement Realm?"

Apart from over a hundred demon pills, Lu Chen’s spear technique had reached a state of perfection.

Simultaneously, his Qi Sea had expanded significantly, so much so that even after executing fifty moves of his spear technique, his spiritual power would not be depleted!

"I’ve nearly perfected my spear technique, yet its power hasn’t changed much! A clash between the strong is decided in an instant! If one move can’t injure the opponent, then fifty moves are of no great use!"

Lu Chen clearly recognized his weaknesses and began to ponder changes.

"What if I increase the output of spiritual power in one spear technique move?"

This wasn’t a random idea. Just the previous night, he had encountered a beast with thick armor.

After numerous spear technique moves, he still couldn’t injure it at all.

It wasn’t until Lu Chen found the beast’s weak spot with his Pupil Skill that he managed to kill it with one strike!

"Future opponents won’t be beasts. If I can’t kill a person in ten or so moves, I’ll probably be the one to die!"

He muttered to himself, gently stroking the shaft of his spear.

Since spiritual power can penetrate the viscera, then I can infuse my spear with more spiritual power, and it should be possible!
