Chapter 57: The Woman Taking A Bath
During the days of the Alchemy Conference, the competition for alchemists over the age of 40 has not yet ended, so the group of alchemists under the age of 40, including Su Chen, finished first, leaving Su Chen with a lot of free time.
In the evening, Su Chen woke up from his meditation and found that Su Yue had fallen asleep while reading.
Su Chen gently carried Su Yue to the bed and covered her with a blanket.
Su Chen walked out of the room and picked up the Longquan Sword, which he hadn't used for a long time. After not practicing swordsmanship for several days, Su Chen felt a bit rusty.
The courtyard was quiet. Su Chen picked up the Longquan Sword but chose not to practice swordsmanship in the courtyard.
This place was where alchemists from various sects rested, and Su Chen didn't want to disturb them.
Su Chen activated his spiritual power, and suddenly a gust of wind blew through the courtyard.
The wind carried Su Chen, lifting him into the air.
The place Su Chen chose to practice swordsmanship was a mountain not far from Luoyang City.
This place was rich in spiritual energy and a good place for cultivation.
But the most important reason was that Su Chen wanted to test tonight how far he had reached on the path of swordsmanship after reaching the Foundation Building stage.
The path of swordsmanship that Su Chen pursued was the pursuit of the ultimate Sword Intent. He was afraid that using too much power would alarm the people around him, so he specifically chose this place.
The night was dark. Su Chen picked up the Longquan Sword.
A voice came from Su Chen's mind.
"You brat, you finally remembered me?"
Su Chen smiled.
The Golden Dragon snorted.
"You read that useless medical book every day. What's the point of alchemy? It's better to practice swordsmanship well, become a sword immortal, and cut down all those alchemists."
Su Chen calmly replied, "I'm afraid that to kill powerful alchemists, being a sword immortal is not enough. At the very least, one must become a great sword immortal."
The Golden Dragon didn't argue.
Because whether in the Three Thousand Worlds or in the Great Thousand Worlds, alchemists were very important, and few dared to attack them.
"Don't waste time talking. Start practicing swordsmanship."
Su Chen didn't say anything, he just tightened his grip on the Longquan Sword.
A faint but unparalleled Sword Intent rose from Su Chen's body.
In the next moment, Su Chen made a sword move.
Instantly, the surroundings were enveloped in sword qi.
The sword qi swept through, and a rustling sound came from the surroundings.
If there were any sword cultivators nearby, they would surely be amazed by this level of sword qi.
The sword qi that could affect the surrounding environment had reached a certain level.
Su Chen swung his sword, and not far away, a large tree was cut in half.
That tree had a diameter of more than ten meters.
With one swing of his sword, Su Chen was also stunned. Had his sword qi reached this level?
Half an hour later, Su Chen had broken into a sweat.
He looked around and suddenly heard the sound of water.
Su Chen approached the source of the water sound.
He might as well take a bath here on the mountain and then hurry back.
In the deep night, under the moonlight, Su Chen followed the sound of water and arrived at a place.
It was a pool of water, shimmering under the moonlight, very beautiful.
Su Chen nodded in satisfaction, ready to take off his clothes and take a bath before going back.
However, when Su Chen approached the pool, he was stunned.
There were clothes next to the pool, and there was someone in the water!
It was a woman's clothes.
Su Chen looked towards the water, and a graceful figure appeared under the moonlight.
Although it was not very clear under the moonlight, Su Chen could vaguely see that this woman's figure was unparalleled in the world.
Just as Su Chen was still in a daze, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Who is it!?"
Su Chen quickly left.
Meanwhile, the woman had already quickly reached the shore.
After putting on her clothes, the woman chased after Su Chen.
Su Chen felt the breath behind him and quickened his pace.
Fortunately, it seemed that the woman's strength was not high. Su Chen, who was currently at the second level of Foundation Building, was not quickly caught up.
However, the distance between the two was rapidly closing.
A cold sweat appeared on Su Chen's forehead.
This is just too unlucky.
In this world of cultivation, it is still quite traditional. Although he didn't see anything, if he were to be caught up by this woman, it would definitely be a cliché plot.
Su Chen quickened his pace.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Su Chen's mind.
"Kid, isn't it just a woman?!"
"What are you afraid of?"
Su Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't want to cause any more trouble."
Su Chen could clearly feel that the woman behind him had a cultivation level that was not low.
In fact, it seemed to surpass his own cultivation level. To reach the second level of Foundation Building at this age, she was definitely not an ordinary person.
Su Chen increased his pace, but the woman's speed was even faster. Soon, Su Chen was caught up.
Su Chen felt a sharp gust of wind behind him.
Su Chen's heart sank. It seemed that he couldn't escape from this trouble!
"Kid, do you want me to help you?"
The voice of the Golden Dragon rang out.
"Stop talking nonsense and think of a solution quickly!"
"No, you have to serve me well for a few days. At the very least, you have to nourish my spiritual power with a few pills. Isn't there a pill refining competition recently? You must have refined a lot of medicine."
"The medicines I refined are all of low quality, which you wouldn't be interested in."
"I want them too!"
The Golden Dragon spoke up.
Su Chen agreed without hesitation. Alright, think of a solution quickly!
The Golden Dragon didn't say anything else. It knew that Su Chen now held its fate in his hands.
The woman chased after Su Chen, and just as she was about to catch up, a burst of golden light flashed, followed by a powerful Sword Intent sweeping through the surroundings.
The woman felt a moment of darkness before she regained her senses, but Su Chen's figure had already disappeared.
Suddenly, her expression changed. Not far away, a ribbon appeared, most likely left behind by that man.
The woman collected the ribbon.
Her expression was cold, with a hint of anger in her eyes.
She must find this man!
Not far away, a burst of strong spiritual energy suddenly appeared, followed by the appearance of Zhang Lao.
He walked up to the woman and bowed.
"City Lord, it's time to go back!"
The woman handed the ribbon to Zhang Lao.
"Help me find out who this ribbon belongs to."
Zhang Lao didn't ask for the reason, but immediately said, "Alright, I'll investigate right away!"
At this time, Su Chen returned to his residence.
He was still a bit shaken. If he were to be discovered, he might end up causing trouble with another sect.
Su Chen felt somewhat fortunate, but suddenly, his expression changed.
He realized that he had lost a ribbon from his body.
He must have left it at the scene. If it were to be discovered, he would be in big trouble!
Su Chen silently prayed in his heart, hoping not to be discovered!
