I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 111 - 106 Sir, do you think I still have a chance? (Added for Li Shang and Ruo Xie!)

Chapter 111: Chapter 106 Sir, do you think I still have a chance? (Added for Li Shang and Ruo Xie!)

Having left the Liu Family, Chen Yuan’s steps halted in front of a dark street where a black figure leaned against the wall, shaking his head, “This old man’s bones are nearly falling apart.”

While speaking, Zhao Nanshan even hammered his lower back.

“Hehe… thank you, Elder Zhao.”

Chen Yuan cupped his hands and chuckled lightly.

This time, he dared to visit Liu Shuanghe at the Liu Family personally because Zhao Nanshan was by his side, and with the Blood Evil Saber on his arm, even if Liu Shuanghe really made a move, Chen Yuan was not afraid!

At worst, he could just take back his Qi Fortune, but that, of course, would come at a significant cost.

...

Moreover, it would be impossible to take revenge on Li Mingqi anymore.

What Chen Yuan wanted was to kill two birds with one stone, settling his scores with Li Mingqi and capturing the Qi Fortune from Liu Shuanghe!

“Did you make a deal?”

Zhao Nanshan asked softly.

He did not know the specifics, but he could guess a bit.

“Almost, there’s still one more thing… I’ll need to trouble Elder Zhao once more…”

…

…

Thus, another two days quietly passed…

Within those two days, the news that the siblings from the Liu Family were dead had basically spread throughout the entire Ping’an County and even caused a stir in Ruo County, pushed by some people.

Many people said it was arrest officer Chen Yuan who had killed the siblings from the Liu Family, and the Liu Family had thoroughly fallen into decline, daring not to even fart loudly, nor daring to go to the County Government to claim the bodies.

The Liu Family unanimously kept silent, letting the matter ferment.

Meanwhile, in Ping’an County, Chen Yuan almost never left his house. Others guessed he was afraid of the Liu Family’s revenge, but in reality, he was cultivating!

After completely refining the Snow Jade Ointment and the Yellow Jade Pill he had obtained earlier, Chen Yuan had finally refurbished half of his muscles and bones. If one could look through him, they would see his bones emitting a faint golden glow.

The Snow Jade Ointment not only helped Chen Yuan refine his bones but also drove away some of the residual toxins accumulated in his body. Coupled with the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Pearl, the toxins in Chen Yuan’s body had almost been completely cleansed.

Feeling his strength surging once again, Chen Yuan calmly stood up.

Almost time to make a move!

“I wonder if I can now compete against a Qi Absorption Martial Artist….”

Chen Yuan clenched his fists, his gaze thoughtful.

He had been able to compete with Bone Refining martial artists even when he was merely refining his blood. Now… it seemed not impossible.

After all, a Qi Absorption Martial Artist only drastically increased their Qi, which allowed them to exert a force far beyond what Bone Refining martial artists could muster, and with the infusion of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy, they could leap seven or eight-lengths in one bound.

But before Condensing Evil, the ‘Qi’s’ destructive power was very limited.

Not insurmountable.

Chen Yuan decided it was time to act, as the two days of delay had already been long enough.

To increase his strength in a short period of time, unless he had a large amount of Bone Refining Pills, he could only continue to slowly refine his cultivation.

But, such pills were not so easily obtained; even if he had the silver, Chen Yuan could not buy them in a short time. Surely he couldn’t wait another seven days, right?

The Liu Family couldn’t wait.

Li Mingqi couldn’t wait either. If the Liu Family did not make a move against him, perhaps Li Mingqi would think of other ways to provoke the Liu Family.

Chen Yuan locked his room door and strapped on his saber as he headed towards the County Government.

“Sir…”

As soon as Chen Yuan entered the Arrest Room, a young Government Official hurried forward.

“How is it?”

Chen Yuan asked in a low voice.

The Government Official in front of him was the one he had previously sent to Prefecture City to find Yue Shan.

A round trip on the official road with a fast horse would suffice in three days.

“That sir said to leave everything to him, and you just need to wait,”

the constable said very respectfully.

“Very good, well done,”

said Chen Yuan as he tossed him a few pieces of silver and continued,

“Go pick a Saber Technique, I’ve already spoken to them over there…”

“Thank you, sir,”

the constable said brightly, hurrying to reply.

“You may go…”

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

“Your humble servant takes his leave.”

“Brother Yuan…”

After the young constable left, Wang Ping, without attracting attention, crept closer.

“It’s time to make a move…”

Chen Yuan whispered.

Wang Ping’s expression turned very grave as he nodded and said,

“Brother Yuan, I’ll go inform Elder Zhao and Mr. Liu…”

Quietly nodding, Chen Yuan stepped towards the direction of Li Mingqi.

In the main hall.

Sitting at the top, Li Mingqi was leisurely sipping his tea, gently closing his eyes as if humming something. Hearing Chen Yuan’s hurried approach, he slowly opened his eyes:

“What is it? The servant just said you had urgent matters to discuss with me?”

Chen Yuan nodded and said in a low voice:

“Sir, indeed there is a monstrous matter that I need to report to you!”

“What is it?”

“Today, a government official who searched behind the Cien Temple reported to me secretly, saying that a persistent and concentrated Blood Qi was emanating from the Blood Pond, emitting an unusual odor,”

“That government official dared not make it public and quietly informed me, suspecting it to be a stratagem left by the No-Life Sect.”

Chen Yuan bowed as he spoke.

“Persistent and concentrated Blood Qi hovering over the Blood Pond?”

Li Mingqi frowned, his eyes reflecting deep thought.

“I went to investigate and discovered…”

“Discovered what?”

Li Mingqi stared intently into Chen Yuan’s eyes.

“Discovered that the Blood Qi seems very similar to the ‘Evil Qi’ described in ancient texts.”

“Evil Qi!”

Li Mingqi suddenly sat up straight, a trace of surprise flickering deep in his pupils.

“Indeed, but I am not entirely sure yet, so I came to report to you,” Chen Yuan’s gaze was very respectful, showing his utmost loyalty to Li Mingqi.

“Good, you did well. Matters of Evil Qi are of great importance and must not be leaked.”

Li Mingqi stood up and spoke with a grave voice.

“I have already ordered silence, no news will leak out.”

“Good, very good, Chen Yuan, you have done well. I was not wrong about you!” Li Mingqi’s eyes showed a hint of approval as he patted Chen Yuan’s shoulder.

“To be of service to you has always been my primary intention.”

Chen Yuan’s lips curled into a small smile.

Zhao Nanshan was right, only Evil Qi can drive a Qi Absorption expert to madness.

Just by looking at Li Mingqi’s expression, one could tell.

The Gang Condensation Realm is divided into three levels, the first being Qi Absorption, which is the simplest – merely refining the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy into a Qi cyclone within the Dantian, thereby boosting strength dramatically.

The second level, Condensing Evil, is not something ordinary martial artists can achieve, and it marks a clear distinction between many major sect disciples and ordinary martial artists.

As Zhao Nanshan said, Condensing Evil requires the martial artist to absorb Earth Evil Qi into their body, causing a qualitative change, and upon successful transformation, it greatly enhances their prowess.

Evil Qi comes in various types like Wind Evil, Thunder Evil, Earth Evil… and many more.

However, Wind and Earth Evil Qi are largely controlled by major sects, and the occurrence of Earth Evil Qi in the outside world is rare. Whenever it is discovered, it provokes fierce competition among Qi Absorption martial artists.

Indeed, Evil Qi is considered a treasure.

Every instance of Earth Evil Qi is an opportunity not to be missed.

The Earth Evil Qi controlled by the court not only requires merit to be exchanged but also demands extraordinary talent before one is allowed to Condense Evil.

This is because Evil Qi is non-renewable and will gradually deplete.

Li Mingqi has been in the Qi Absorption realm for many years, and he could have entered Condensing Evil, but struggling without a method to do so, he could only waste his days.

He thought he would be entrapped in the Qi Absorption level all his life, but Chen Yuan has unexpectedly given him a great surprise.

He found for him an incredibly rare form of Earth Evil Qi!

At this thought, a hidden flash of murderous intent briefly crossed Li Mingqi’s eyes.

As for Earth Evil Qi, the more secretive, the better…

Chen Yuan did not detect the fleeting murderous intent in Li Mingqi’s eyes as he spoke softly,

“My lord, should we not…”

Li Mingqi raised his hand, his eyes flickering,

“Let’s keep this matter quiet for now. Wait for me to investigate and confirm before reporting it upwards. Go, take some men, tell them Cien Temple might still be harboring members of the No-Life Sect, I want to thoroughly inspect.”

“Yes, I will obey,”

“By the way, what was the name of that government official who reported to you? I want to reward him well on behalf of the court…” Li Mingqi’s face was filled with a warm expression.

Chen Yuan: “His name is…”

…

Wang Ping first went to the Sanhe Boxing Club, subtly conveyed Brother Yuan’s instructions to Zhao Nanshan, and after confirming, Wang Ping then went to an inn in North City to find Liu Shuanghe.

Liu Shuanghe had no reason to doubt; if it weren’t for the lack of messages from Chen Yuan, he would have already made his move, as the situation for the Liu Family was very bad now.

After the news of Ruoqing and Changzhi’s deaths reached Cao County, many forces began to stir, especially when they saw the Liu Family appeared to have little reaction, they were even more certain that the Liu Family was finished.

If not now, then when?

Once Wang Ping left, Liu Shuanghe quickly headed to Cien Temple with a false mask, the place mentioned by Chen Yuan.

The peaceful county had just settled down, and it seemed new troubles were about to arise!

In front of Cien Temple.

Chen Yuan, accompanied by over a dozen constables and government officials, followed Li Mingqi back to the temple, while a monk cleaning the front trembled in fear, looking at Chen Yuan and his party with a terrified expression.

Li Mingqi remained silent, Chen Yuan following behind. When they reached the main hall, Chen Yuan instructed those around him, saying,

“The County Magistrate mentioned that there might still be demons from the No-Life Sect hiding in Cien Temple, you must all search thoroughly, and there will definitely be a generous reward for whoever finds them.”

“As for myself, I am ordered to stay close to my lord.”

“Yes, we will obey!”

The group unanimously bowed and began to scatter around the main hall to search. In a blink of an eye, only Chen Yuan and Li Mingqi were left.

“My lord, let us proceed,”

Chen Yuan smiled.

Li Mingqi nodded, appreciating how thoughtful Chen Yuan was for sending away the surplus constables and government officials. Perhaps later, he might grant him a quick end,

not letting his loyalty be in vain.

As for the inheritance of the Liu Family, the Earth Evil Qi was clearly more crucial.

Soon after, Chen Yuan accompanied Li Mingqi to the hills behind. As Li Mingqi was about to enter, Chen Yuan asked nonchalantly:

“My lord, do you think there’s still a chance for my official position?”
