Chapter 4: Adventure, Seven Peaks Mountain

As the second son of the clan leader, Xiao Chen naturally did not need to announce his arrival to enter Qijiao Mountain. However, the Xiao family guard stationed at the foot of the mountain felt somewhat troubled upon realizing that it was him who wished to enter.

After taking a break, Xiao Chen decided to continue his cultivation, but he could no longer practice in the bedroom. He needed to find a place with more abundant spiritual energy, and the back mountain of the Xiao family, Qijiao Mountain, was just such a location

What else could the guard say? He was pulled from behind, and the person behind him laughed, saying: "Since the second young master is going to cultivate, we naturally will not obstruct him, but we hope that the young master does not go too far and is cautious when entering the mountains."

Bang

"Why should I let him in? Don't you know this is a death sentence?" said the guard who spoke earlier

"Second Young Master, the spiritual beasts in the mountains are ferocious; it is not a place for amusement. It would be better for you not to enter, Second Young Master," one of the guards said. He actually had half a sentence left unspoken: the Misty Rain Tower in the city is where you should be going, why come here if not to seek death

These are the impurities and waste within Xiao Chen's body. In the past, when Xiao Chen practiced, he would sweat profusely. Last night, he practiced for an entire night, and his cultivation speed was more than twice as fast as usual. This led to the rather exaggerated scene now; those who are unaware might mistakenly think that Xiao Chen has fallen into a cesspool.

The Seven-Pointed Mountain can be regarded as the foundation of the Xiao family. Not only are there various spiritual beasts and rare medicinal herbs on the mountain, but the concentration of spiritual energy on the mountain is more than double that of the ground.

Once his injuries stabilized, he gradually began to restore the operation speed of the Purple Thunder Divine Art. A trace of spiritual energy was continuously absorbed by Xiao Chen, and after circulating through his meridians for one cycle, all of this spiritual energy permeated into Xiao Chen's bones and flesh.

The ancestors of the Xiao family seized this mountain by force, relying on the Seven-Pointed Mountain, which is rich in countless natural treasures, the Xiao family gradually established a foothold in Mohe City and became the foremost prominent family in the region

The originally simple and unadorned boxing technique has unexpectedly transformed into a forceful and powerful display. In the ebb and flow of movements, it seems as if the sound of wind and thunder is buzzing in the air. This change has left Xiao Chen from m.hetushu.com immensely surprised, as he did not anticipate that the Purple Thunder Technique would have such an effect

Both sides made concessions; the Xiao family did not dare to offend all the surrounding families and agreed to this proposal

Recalling the history of Qijiao Mountain, Xiao Chen has already arrived at the foot of Qipin Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there is a checkpoint, manned by elite guards from the Xiao family. Anyone not belonging to the Xiao family wishing to enter this mountain range must not only apply in advance but also pay a certain amount of money.

Although the Xiao family is weak, they have won all three previous competitions. The new ten-year agreement will arrive in half a year, and the Xiao family has placed all their hopes for this competition on Xiao Jian and the mysterious granddaughter of the elder.

Who does not know that the second young master of the Xiao family possesses only the cultivation level of the ninth rank of soul refining, a well-known waste in Mohe City? If he were to enter Qijiao Mountain, he would surely meet a dead end. When the clan leader holds them accountable, they would undoubtedly face punishment as well

Such a treasure trove naturally makes people envious, as the disputes and conflicts occurring in this Seven-Rank Mountain have never ceased. During the period of mhetushu.com, the local families of Mohe City also engaged in several large-scale clan battles with the Xiao family, resulting in significant losses on both sides

Having not slept a wink, Xiao Chen felt completely refreshed, without a trace of fatigue. A strange odor wafted through the air, and it was only then that Xiao Chen realized his body was covered in layers of sticky black liquid, exuding an unbearable stench

Xiao Chen smiled upon hearing this, not minding the tone of the guard's words. "Who said I am going in for leisure? I am going to cultivate. As the second son of the Xiao family, do I not have the qualification to cultivate in this mountain?"

He has made up his mind; since he cannot temporarily condense his martial soul, he will refine his body into one of steel and iron.

For two full hours, Xiao Chen meticulously repaired his damaged internal organs. Having learned from this experience, he no longer dared to forcibly impact his dantian with spiritual energy.

During the cultivation, there was completely no concept of time. Unknowingly, Xiao Chen had already completed thirty-six major circulations. As Xiao Chen opened his eyes, two points of purple light flashed and disappeared in his gaze. At this moment, the sky was slightly brightening, and Xiao Chen was somewhat taken aback, realizing that he had actually been cultivating in the room for an entire night.

Your information is truly lacking; have you not heard of his duel with Xiao Jian? It was a fight to the death. Let him in; even if he dies at the hands of the spirit beast, it is better than dying at the hands of Xiao Jian.

Xiao Chen gave a wry smile and quickly took a cold shower. If he were to go out like this, he would definitely be misunderstood. After finishing his shower, he changed into a new set of clothes and set up in the courtyard, practicing a set of the most basic boxing techniques of the Xiao family.

However, Xiao Chen is already very satisfied. The journey must be taken step by step. He has only practiced the Purple Thunder Technique for one night, and his strength has already become so astonishing. With a few more days of training, this physical body may very well reach the realm of those martial artists, and the electric sparks on his fists will also bring them a surprise

The strikes are now more decisive, the punches increasingly rapid, accompanied by the continuous buzzing of thunder. Unconsciously, a soft chant escapes from his lips, while strands of electric light leap incessantly from Xiao Chen's fists. A surge of heat flows into his right hand, which seems to possess boundless strength.

Later, under the mediation of the lord of Mohe City, all the families within Mohe City agreed to hold a martial arts competition every ten years, in which the younger generation of each prominent family, not exceeding twenty years of age, would participate. The victor would determine the ownership of this seventh-grade mountain

The ground was littered with rubble, and a half-meter-wide small hole appeared among countless cracks. Xiao Chen, holding his breath, looked at the shaking rubble on the ground and shook his head.

In the memories of this body, the Xiao family, many years ago, was a large family in both the Great Qin Kingdom and the entire Tianwu Continent, but after its decline, it came to Mohe City

Xiao Chen let out a loud shout, leaping high into the air. As he descended, he struck the ground with a powerful punch, using all his strength in that blow.

This punch appears to be quite powerful, yet he knows it is insignificant. Those formidable warriors, after employing their martial techniques, can create a hole with a diameter of one meter in the ground, and there are no cracks; the shattered stones turn entirely to dust

The set of boxing techniques from the Xiao family, in its rising, falling, advancing, and retreating movements, follows a straightforward and direct pattern. The wind of the punches is sharp and clear, appearing remarkably simple. Xiao Chen fought with great ease, and unconsciously, the Purple Thunder Technique within him began to operate automatically.

"That is natural," Xiao Chen said as he walked away without looking back
