Chapter 1066: Seething (1/2)

After not seeing this Immortal Cultivator for so many years, Xiao Chen met him in Despair City as a Yuanying Stage cultivator.

Using the might of a Magic Treasure, this Immortal Cultivator could even kill a Profound Beast equal to a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage.

If not for Xiao Chen improving even faster than this Immortal Cultivator, the situation might not have turned out so well.

“It looks like you still remember me and know that I have questions for you,” Xiao Chen said indifferently.

The blue-robed cultivator smiled bitterly and said, “How can I not remember? In these years, I have always been in the Eternal Heavenly Sword School. The name Azure Dragon King is like thunder piercing the ear.”

“First, tell me your name.”

“Feng Wuqing!”

The blue-robed cultivator answered as he carefully watched his seven life flying swords, which lay to the ground.

“I do know a thing or two about Immortal Cultivation. I am well aware of the importance of a life flying sword to you. If you want your flying swords back, just answer my questions honestly.”

Feng Wuqing knew that Xiao Chen was not lying. Otherwise, Xiao Chen could not have used that Beautiful Mountain and River Painting. He said helplessly, “Whatever you wish. In any case, it would be impossible for me to flee from you.”

“Good. Tell me, what have you been doing at the Eternal Heavenly Sword School?”

Hesitation appeared in Feng Wuqing’s eyes. Then, he looked up and saw Xiao Chen’s cold expression, and his heart trembled. He replied, “I did not do much, just helped to prepare to refine the True Dragon Life Replenis.h.i.+ng Pill.”

“Why are you back here? You have finished refining the True Dragon Life Replenis.h.i.+ng Pill?”

Feng Wuqing smiled and countered, “How can that be? With my Alchemy skills, I can only do some preparatory work. The True Dragon Life Replenis.h.i.+ng Pill is a Medicinal Pill that surpa.s.ses King Grade. Only my Master can refine it. Now, I have nothing more to do. Naturally, there was no need for me to remain there.”

“Alright. Next question: who is the True Dragon Life Replenis.h.i.+ng Pill for?”

Feng Wuqing shook his heard and replied, “I do not know that. I was only responsible for screening, refining, and collecting True Dragon bones, more like an odd-job worker.”

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Odd-job worker? Your master is really incredible. Just an odd-job worker managed to reach the Yuanying Stage and use the might of Magic Treasures to kill even a Black Profound Wolf.”

“My master really is incredible. At the very least, if you go to the Eternal Heavenly Sword School now, you would not even know how you died. If you think that I am exaggerating, some of his prized disciples are in Despair City. You will know the truth of my words if you run into them,” Feng Wuqing said indifferently, smiling faintly, apparently trying to provoke Xiao Chen into fighting a few of his senior brothers.

“I will find out for myself whether it is true or not. You should be clear about your current situation first. Another question, how much longer will it take to finish refining the True Dragon Life Replenis.h.i.+ng Pill?” Xiao Chen asked coldly.

“At least two years. For such a heaven-defying Medicinal Pill that can change fate, just collecting the True Dragon bones took one hundred years. Refining it is even more problematic. Furthermore, whether it will succeed or not is another story.”

“Can the True Dragon Life Replenis.h.i.+ng Pill extend physiological lifespan?”

“Naturally, it cannot. If we consider increasing natural lifespan as heaven-defying and changing fate, extending physiological lifespan is like chopping down the heavens and s.n.a.t.c.hing fate. They seem similar but are entirely different. Don’t overthink it.”

This Feng Wuqing apparently also knew that Xiao Chen only had twenty years left to live. His tone sounded like he was happy with Xiao Chen’s misfortune.

Xiao Chen lost his interest in Feng Wuqing. He waved his hand and said, “Take your flying swords and go!”

“You are letting me go just like that?” Feng Wuqing found this unbelievable.

Xiao Chen smiled coldly and retorted, “Why, you don’t want to go? Or do you want to force me to make you use your trump cards to protect yourself before you are satisfied?”

Feng Wuqing was somewhat stunned. Then, he smiled and said, “It is better to deal with intelligent people. Actually, the Eternal Heavenly Sword School does not have any secrets. It is just that my master owes the founding ancestor of the Eternal Heavenly Sword School a favor. By helping him refine the True Dragon Life Replenis.h.i.+ng Pill, he is repaying this favor.

“However, it is best that you not go and cause trouble. I did not exaggerate my master’s strength. It is easy for him to kill you as you are now.”

After saying that, Feng Wuqing picked up his life flying swords and left right away.

Whether he had spoken the truth or not was hard to say.

Feng Wuqing did have some life-saving measures that he could not bear to use. Hence, Xiao Chen was not in a very good position to pressure him too much.

If Xiao Chen overdid it and Feng Wuqing used his life-saving measures, everything would be for naught.

At least Xiao Chen now had some useful information. The founding ancestor of the Eternal Heavenly Sword School was indeed still alive and was struggling on at death’s door, needing the True Dragon Life Replenis.h.i.+ng Pill to replenish his lifespan.

As long as the Eternal Heavenly Sword School’s founding ancestor was not dead, it would be fine. This meant that the clues to the Thunder Emperor’s mysterious death would not get cut off.

Xiao Chen, this matter is already several thousand years past. Just leave it, Ao Jiao advised from the Immortal Spirit Ring.

Clearly, she was very worried about the master that Feng Wuqing mentioned. She feared that Xiao Chen would just send himself off to die.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I know my limits. Feng Wuqing’s master might not be easy to deal with. However, I might still stand a chance two years later against a Martial Emperor that is relying on a True Dragon Life Replenis.h.i.+ng Pill to survive.”

Ao Jiao tried to continue her advice. Xiao Chen—

Xiao Chen interrupted her, “There is no need to say anything more. You know my character. I will not change my mind on things that I have decided.

“Without the broken sword that the Thunder Emperor left on Seven Horn Mountain, I would have already died. Along the way, you’ve been helping me. I know that there is no way for me to repay this in full. However, I have to do what I can, no matter what.

“The Thunder Emperor’s death is very suspicious. I will not stand by and do nothing.”

Ao Jiao knew what Xiao Chen’s temper was like, so she sighed to herself and held her tongue.
