I Have A Qi Fortune Altar

During a confrontation with enemies, the most dangerous moments often occurred, and such saber techniques were actually very useful.

Moreover, having cultivated the Body Refining Divine Skill known as Vajra Glaze Body, Chen Yuan's strength was many times greater than that of an ordinary person, sufficient to enhance the power of this saber technique by multiple times.

As for the Stone Cutting Blade Technique, Chen Yuan had never considered it an option because it neither possessed the instant explosive power of the Sword Drawing Skill nor the ruthless moves of the Gale Blade Technique; it was merely showy.

In the County Government of Ping'an County, very few long-serving Government Officials ever practiced this saber technique, a point noted by many.

"Reply to the Lord, I wish to learn the Sword Drawing Skill."

"Follow me…" Huang Xing nodded his head and stood up, not wasting any more words.

With a calm face, Chen Yuan followed behind Huang Xing, twisting and turning until they finally arrived at a secret room guarded by two Government Officials of the Blood Refining Level.

"Arrest Officer Huang."

The two Government Officials clasped their hands in greeting.

"Give him the Sword Drawing Skill…" Huang Xing pointed to Chen Yuan behind him.

One of them sized up Chen Yuan, nodded slightly, then turned and entered the secret room. In just a few breaths, he emerged, handing over a thin booklet to Chen Yuan.

"Return the sword manual within three days, remember, do not divulge it." Although the Government Official did not verbalize the consequences, Chen Yuan clearly understood them.

"Good."

Chen Yuan took the sword manual and slightly nodded.

...

...

Resting and recuperating.

"Swoosh!"

Chen Yuan took a step forward and suddenly drew his sword, a streak of bright light flashing as he struck at the empty air.

After acquiring the Sword Drawing Skill and having memorized all its content, he began to practice the saber slowly according to the power, footwork, and breath mentioned in the saber method.

In this world where martial arts reigned supreme, Chen Yuan felt a deep sense of urgency because the Qi Fortune Altar required Qi Fortune to guide him towards opportunities.

Most individuals who possessed Qi Fortune were exceptionally talented geniuses.

He had used the Heavenly Eye Pupil Technique to observe inside the County Government several times, but had not found a single person endowed with Qi Fortune, which also showed how lucky he was to have previously slain Tie Shou.

Without an influx of Qi Fortune, he might have to settle for mediocrity his entire life.

This was not the ancient world he was familiar with, where he could rise step by step with foreknowledge; here, he was blind, relying only on himself.

But since the pathway to ascension was monopolized by the imperial court, noble families, and sects, and given his poor talents, no one would include a 21-year-old youth into a sect.

They recruited disciples starting from a young age to cultivate loyalty.

Therefore, after much consideration, Chen Yuan felt that his only reliance was on the imperial court, climbing up step by step within its system, slaying those with Qi Fortune, and thus gaining opportunities.

This was the principle Chen Yuan had set after careful deliberation.

Moreover, possessing the Qi Fortune Altar had already destined him to tread a path of a villain, and which villain did not possess extraordinary strength?

Strength!

That was the only thing a lonely soul could rely on in this world.

Drops of sweat fell as Chen Yuan continuously repeated the action of drawing his sword. In this sword technique, speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness were crucial.

To strike down the enemy with a speed as fast as lightning.

After swinging his saber for half an hour, his arms began to feel sore and weak, and Chen Yuan planted his long sword into the ground. He pulled a small porcelain bottle from his bosom, which was exchanged for twenty Silver Coins, the Tiger Bone Pill!

Chen Yuan turned out a pill, examining it carefully. It was the size of a thumb, entirely black, and had a pungent smell.

"This pill alone is almost half a year's income for me," Chen Yuan sighed.

Why do government officials' cultivation progress so slowly? It's not just about aptitude but also because of the limitations of Silver... If there were a large amount of Body Refining Elixirs available, even a pig could cultivate up to the Bone Refining Level.

Gently exhaling a breath of stale air, Chen Yuan put the pungent Tiger Bone Pill into his mouth and immediately struck a pose with both palms facing up, Vajra Glaze Body!

The Tiger Bone Pill that was in his mouth was swallowed, and a powerful medicinal force surged into his viscera and then spread throughout his body like a series of intensely hot streams.

The sun was directly overhead.

Bits of golden paint began to rise on Chen Yuan's body.

From a distance, Chen Yuan's body seemed to be enveloped in a faint golden glow.

The massive medicinal power accelerated in refinement under the sunlight.

Chen Yuan's spirit grew quiet, and he could feel his skin seemingly growing tougher...

An hour later, Chen Yuan opened his eyes, having fully refined the medicinal power of the Tiger Bone Pill, and he found that the golden paint on his body had increased by another fifth.

Nearly half!

A single Tiger Bone Pill saved Chen Yuan a month's time.

Clasping his fists tightly, the golden paint spread over Chen Yuan's arms, and then he forcefully slammed his fist onto the ground.

A dull thud exploded.

"The power of this punch must have reached the Blood Refining Level; my power has increased so much, it's truly worthy of being the top-tier Foundation Establishment Body Refining Divine Skill in the world,"

Chen Yuan sighed.

And now, Chen Yuan had not yet completed the Body Refinement Perfection, and his progress was not even halfway!

Looking up at the sun in the sky, it was already the hour of Shen , the sunlight's intensity was waning; it was not advisable to use another Tiger Bone Pill now as it would waste some medicinal power.

And...

A strong sense of hunger filled his stomach; he had been practicing for several hours without a bite to eat.

Cool water cascaded down from overhead, a cool mist spreading through his body, Chen Yuan dressed in the official's attire and, wearing his long saber at his waist, walked out of his home.

The reason to wear it even during a break was to avoid many unnecessary issues.

To many ordinary citizens, a government official was someone unbearable, and it was very easy to find an excuse to throw someone into the prison to suffer.

Walking on the streets of Ping'an County, Chen Yuan occasionally activated his Heavenly Eye Pupil Technique, a fleeting blue glint, barely noticeable unless one was deliberately watching.

Chen Yuan was now eager to find the next person endowed with Qi Fortune, so the Qi Fortune Altar could guide him to his next fortuitous encounter.

The first time it was the Vajra Glaze Body, a Body Refining Divine Skill; the next time, Chen Yuan believed it would certainly not disappoint him either.

Lacking background, talent, and strength, Chen Yuan could only rely on the Qi Fortune Altar!

Along the way, Chen Yuan thought about how to gather some Silver.

What use was it to envy others? He needed to take action and make money!

Unfortunately, even though Chen Yuan was a transmigrator as well, he really had no good ways to earn Silver—either they were not applicable in this world, or he did not know the recipes.

After walking for a while, Chen Yuan stopped in front of a regular tavern.

Seeing a government official come in, the waiter hurriedly piled on the smiles.

Chen Yuan waved his hand, went upstairs, and sat down by a window. He ordered a jar of wine, along with a pork knuckle and two large bowls of rice.

Ravenous, Chen Yuan just wanted to eat his fill and alleviate the gnawing hunger in his stomach.

Soon, a serving of pork knuckle was brought out, along with two complimentary side dishes.
