Chapter 7: Let Me Out!

"Get in there!" the follower yelled before kicking the two into the prison cell. The kick comes at Chen Tu and Chen Zigang as a surprise and causes them to tumble inside.

The two finally stop after coming to the end of the prison cell.

This was the second time they were thrown into the dungeon. Surprisingly, it happened not long after coming out from the first one. It's like history is repeating itself.

Unfortunately, this place is filthier compared to the previous dungeon. A pile of bones can even be seen at one of the four corners, heightening the prison cell's creepiness. At another corner is a bundle of feces, likely dumped by the previous resident of this cell.

"Let me out! Let me out!!!" Chen Zigang immediately bangs on the door in a panic. But no matter how loud the noise he's making, nobody made a trip over to check them out. At the very least, the dungeon back in the Chen Family is well-lit and properly ventilated.

Over here, the stench was too strong, to the point it made their mood gloomier.

After a while, Chen Zigang gave up, leaving the task of making noise to Chen Tu. Their attempt to get people's attention continued until both of them were too tired. Soon, they sat on the only clean spot inside the prison cell.

"I'll make sure to kill everyone here after getting out. These thugs will have to prepare themselves to swallow my wrath." Chen Zigang said. He didn't continue shouting or screaming but mumbling the sentence to himself.

As for Chen Tu, he stays quiet, feeling that there's something odd inside this cave. This impression was the same as when he struggled to escape Chen Manor five years ago.

...

...

In the meantime, the battle outside is reaching its climax.

These thugs had no idea about the origin of these attackers. All they could see is these people were all peak-level experts in the Body Tempering Layer. The swordsmanship, formation, and void of speech somewhat explained how trained these people were.

For these thugs, the struggle is futile. Even the leader that came a little later was killed in a slash before making any offensive remarks.

Soon, these thugs were all dead. To ensure none of them lives after today, these attackers dressed in complete black attire decapitate the head from the body.

The corpses were piled together before half of the attackers charged inside, killing all the survivors they could find. Except for those locked inside the dungeon, none were spared, regardless of gender and age.

It might sound ruthless, but this was necessary to uproot this underground organization completely. They couldn't take the bet and trust that the young, old, and women wouldn't retaliate in the future.

As the wise elder says, being kind to the enemy meant being cruel to themselves.

Such ruthlessness was necessary.

Soon, these people dressed in black arrive at the dungeon holding Chen Tu and Chen Zigang. The door into the cell was unlocked, and they were rescued.

To their surprise, another elder is inside the cell beside theirs. He could be said to be blended into the surroundings to the point the two didn't realize his existence until he moved.

Everyone was taken out of this cavern and released. To those unlucky people, they were taken to somewhere else. The elder was one of those who obtained his freedom, and he was gone in a blink of an eye. This made even those people dressed in black wonder if they were mistaken.

While the other was released, Chen Tu and Chen Zigang were taken into a different room, where a few chests were stacked together, totaling up to nine.

"Why are you taking us here?" Chen Zigang stood forward and asked. As the boss, he couldn't allow Chen Tu to stand in front, right?

"Enough acting." the leader of these people said and took off the mask covering his face. His voice was so familiar, as the two had just talked to him in the Chen Family's dungeon last night.

"Seventh uncle!" Chen Zigang plunged himself into Chen Tian Lang's chest and hugged him. Honestly speaking, he was about to be scared to the point he peed in his pants. After all, this was the first time they were kidnapped.

Nope. Instead of being kidnapped, it's more accurate to say that the brats delivered themselves into the tiger's den.

If Chen Tian Peng was a little unconcerned, these two would likely vanish from this Crimson Cloud County.

"Afraid? I can't wait to see how you'll face your dad after we get home. Be prepared to have your buttock spanked until you can't even sit down with it." Chen Tian Lang pinched Chen Zigang's cheeks out of anger.

At the same time, his other hand flicked Chen Tu's forehead as a lesson for following Chen Zigang and his whimsical decisions.

The flicking throws Chen Tu to lie flat with his back on the ground. Although no Spiritual Power was used in that flick, the physical strength of Chen Tian Lang alone is more than enough to send Chen Tu flying.

After all, the strength of a cultivator above the Body Tempering Layer cannot be underestimated.

"Hehe... Uncle, can we grab something from the treasure chest?" Chen Zigang rubbed his palms together and asked for his uncle's permission to inspect the boxes with precious goods inside.

"Grab? Do you think that your father will say alright?" Chen Tian Lang clenches his teeth and fiercely stares at the two. Their ears were caught by the seventh uncle before they could escape.

With a hand on an ear, Chen Tian Lang brought the two and returned to the Crimson River Town. Needless to say, the other subordinates followed with the goods collected from the cavern.

Surprisingly, the "thing" that gave Chen Tu a special impression was kept inside one of the treasure chests.

But as they finally returned to the Chen Manor, the two were again tossed into the family dungeon to repent and behave.

"LET ME OUT!!!" Chen Zigang bangs on the door again. If this continues, he will have consecutively entered the dungeon for three days!

    Next morning. Following Tang Yun Long's suggestion, Chen Tu made his way to the Registration Office after breakfast. And as usual, he waited with the others in the queue until it was his turn. "What can I do for you today, junior?" the worker asked with impatience in his tone. In his opinion, Chen Tu is likely another disciple coming to claim his monthly salary provided by the Blood Refining Grotto. But all his following words were stuck in his throat before he could continue after Chen Tu had his disciple token taken out. "Chen - Chen Tu? You're Chen Tu?" the worker's tone changed into a more polite and easy to the ear. His attitude also had 180 degrees of turnover. Chen Tu didn't reply to him but simply nodded with a smile. And to these workers who looked down on the weak disciples, such treatment was the best venom to reeducate them. The worker immediately changed how he addressed Chen Tu from "Junior" to "Fellow Disciple Chen." And needless to say, this instantaneous change

    "Teacher, really? We're going to attend the examination for the Titled Alchemist this year?" Tang Yun Long couldn't help but feel excited. Naturally, he was very happy with what Elder Wei Xuan had said. After all, Tang Yun Long is turning eighteen this year. And even amongst all the disciples from both elders, his talent in Alchemy was the highest. But regardless of how he requested, Elder Wei Xuan would always reject him when it came to permission to attend the Titled-Alchemist Examination. No matter how much he begged, the elder would deem he was not ready for the test yet. Counting from the year he had been asking until now, it was almost four years past. But today, the sun seems to be rising from the west. Of course, Tang Yun Long realized that the change in Elder Wei Xuan's mind did not come from him but from Chen Tu. Without bathing in this junior brother's brilliance, he might have to wait another year or two before his chances arrive. Obviously, there was a reason for the

    "Good. Very good. Then, you'll be the second official disciple of this old man from this moment onward. I am looking forward on how far you can grow." Elder Wei Xuan appeared very satisfied with Chen Tu's instant reply. This could also show how much Chen Tu had longed for this chance. "Disciple understood!" Chen Tu kneeled and raised a teacup in both hands to the elder. Regardless of the custom, serving a cup of tea to your master is essential. This customary practice not only creates a proper master and disciple but also the connections in between. "En... Those unimportant things will be told to you by Xiao Long later. For now, take this as your gift to study under my tutelage. It was the Pill Formula I promised you last time." the elder said after placing the teacup aside and taking something from nothingness. Apparently, the elder had a piece of Spatial Jade too. And from the look of it, the quality is slightly better than what Tang Yun Long had. "Why don't you take a look at i

    "junior brother Chen, this Three-Star Pill... Did you refine them by yourself?" Tang Yun Long asked. Even he hadn't had success in refining a pill of this quality. At most, he is only confident in refining Two-Star Pill. Furthermore, this result was before Chen Tu was officially accepted by the elder as his second official disciple. If he was, would he be capable of Four-Star, or even a Five-Star? Of course, that kind of level is nowhere to be heard of... After all, no alchemist would dedicate all their time to researching and refining a four or Five-Star Grain Pellet. Even if that alchemist is the most foolish one, he would likely have zero to little interest in an entry-level pill like this. Looking at the Three-Star Grain Pellet sitting on the table, the elder couldn't calm his heart down. And without further ado, he put his hand out toward Chen Tu and asked for something. "Xiao Tu... Bring the Alchemist Token out." Elder Wei Xuan asked. It appears that what he will be doing

  • Chapter 78: About To Faint

    (Hmm... I wonder what kind of medicinal pill is this Spring and Autumn Profound Pill and Lesser Vitality Pill. Could their effect be something extraordinary, like the Spiritual Replenishing or Spirit Desertification Pill?) Chen Tu spoke to his own while flipping through the pages. The contents were fairly easy for him to understand, and there was nothing to be suspicious about. But when Chen Tu came to the ingredient part, he had the urge to scratch and pull his hair. (Aargh... Now, this is where my first obstacle comes in...) Chen Tu took a few deep breaths after he set the book aside. He had mixed feelings due to what was going on inside his mind. The reason for these confusing thoughts was naturally understandable. After all, this was a lost recipe Qin Lei's father, Qin Tianbao, found from excavating the tomb of a certain expert. Interestingly, this relic site was also where Qin Tianbao had a mishap and lost one of his legs. And no wonder he would be allowed to keep these two

  • Chapter 77: Uncle Qin Tianbao

    (What an amazing feeling... Could this be something only those in the fourth level would realize?) Chen Tu remained seated, but for every breath he took, the Spiritual Energy of his surroundings was attracted over. His body was like a leaf sponging up all the dew as it absorbed all these blimps of Spiritual Energy to nourish his flesh. This mist-like Spiritual Energy is incomparable to what a Spiritual Replenishing Pill offers. Still, it was something nobody would complain about. After all, no matter how diluted and faint this Spiritual Energy was, they're still the Spiritual Energy everyone pursued. Nobody would cover their water well when it rains because they're afraid it would be overfilled by the rainwater. Apparently, Chen Tu's guess was correct. A feat like this was indeed someone above the Flesh Tempering Stage could enjoy. And thanks to his fully-tempered flesh, Chen Tu is now more than capable of applicating Spiritual Energy to strengthen his physique. Although the diff
