One sword cheat

Chapter 29 Drawing the Sword, 15 Spirit Stones

Su Rentong still managed to give Chen Ren an opportunity.

You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. Zhang Yunmiao finally had to go out on business, and she was quietly cultivating.

She works very hard, not only because she is talented, but also because she hardly rests and devotes herself entirely to cultivation.

With her good looks, ambition, and talent, Chen Ren sometimes wondered if she might be the main character.

Unfortunately, she harbors resentment towards herself, a trait that persists throughout her life and is directly reflected in the constant stream of sword-drawing points.

Su Rentong's place was much better than his; it was dry, bright, and had a small courtyard with fish and a stream flowing through it—the environment was absolutely wonderful.

It is said that it was bestowed by the Celestial Master Cave; otherwise, you could have bought hundreds more.

The presence of a courtyard actually gave him an opportunity. Chen Ren quietly approached and, at the five-meter limit distance, unleashed a powerful strike that broke through the limit!

With 700 points of sword-drawing value, Chen Ren unleashed a slash that broke the limit. The next second, he felt a sudden clarity in his mind, and 15 heavy spirit stones were pulled back by the Calamity Sword!

Objective achieved!

He decisively withdrew and was about to leave.

"who!"

But to everyone's surprise, Su Rentong's voice rang out the next second, and she quickly ended her cultivation state and rushed out of the house!

The reason is simple: she was diligently cultivating just now when the spirit stones in her arms suddenly disappeared!

Someone stole her spirit stones!

This method, which was so subtle and undetectable, was both ingenious and familiar. Su Rentong immediately rushed out!

But when she chased after them, she found only an empty space, with not a single footprint near her house.

"Who! Who is it?!"

Su Rentong's expression changed slightly. He suddenly remembered that his Luo Qi Dan had also disappeared in the same way, and his face turned pale.

She immediately ran back and searched her inventory, only to find that all her spirit stones had vanished!

Not only that, she also discovered that the Frost-Washing Sword, which she kept close to her body, had also disappeared without her noticing.

[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +90!]

Su Rentong was so angry that he trembled all over and almost fainted. He hurriedly went to his elders in the sect for help.

There's a mole inside this Qingcheng Mountain Academy!

At the foot of Tianshi Cave Mountain, Chen Ren was panting heavily, having almost lost his life.

He just spent another 100 sword-drawing points to erase his footprints, otherwise he might have already been discovered.

Reaching the seventh level of Qi Condensation is truly remarkable. His reaction time and speed are far superior to Chen Ren's. If Chen Ren hadn't acted quickly, he would probably have been discovered immediately.

Even if the item is in the Sea of ​​E's consciousness, he cannot escape the connection.

This time, 700 sword-drawing points were wasted, but 15 spirit stones were gained. There could have been more, but unfortunately, Su Rentong used a lot of them for cultivation, and also used a lot of them to learn the Qingmu Yuan technique.

But 15 is already a huge sum of money!

Each spirit stone can increase his qi and blood by more than 50 jin, and each one is priced as high as a million.

With so many of these, his Qi and blood could be directly boosted to the ninth level of the Overlapping Waves realm, making it worth a full 1500 million!

Of course, there's another reason why spirit stones are so expensive: they can greatly shorten cultivation time.

Otherwise, replacing it with items of equal value would actually increase one's cultivation level even more.

Many people reach the end of their lifespan, but their cultivation level cannot keep up, and in the end, they have gained nothing.

Truly intelligent people always use resources to balance their cultivation speed; if they make a mistake in one step, they may miss out on immortality.

…………

For the next period of time, Chen Ren dared not go to Tianshi Cave. Martial law had been imposed there, and the law enforcement officers of Tianshi Cave had issued a pledge that they would definitely help Su Rentong find the spirit stone!

Even people from their mountain came to inquire, but Chen Ren, just in case, had already used his sword-drawing skill to erase his mark.

He dared not use or sell the 15 spirit stones except for his own cultivation. Every day he would wander around the mountain, looking for any newly grown medicinal herbs or edible insects under the rocks to replenish his qi and blood.

These insects are full of vital energy, but they are highly toxic, and his sword-drawing ability is insufficient.

Although he doesn't yet have the techniques after the Seventh Layer Wave Technique, he can still increase his strength at least up to the point where he has 700 jin of Qi and blood at the Seventh Layer.

"Junior brother, the three of us are planning to go down the mountain on a mission. Do you want to come?"

That day, Wang Chengxian, Ren Renren, and Senior Brother Liu Qi came to ask him if he wanted to go down the mountain.

They accepted a job at the Baiyun Peak pharmacy, tasked with finding a medicinal herb.

Their resources are long gone. To get more resources, they either need to search in the dangerous ancient world or complete the mission.

It is said that Baiyunfeng's pharmacy is charging a very high price this time, 300,000 per session regardless of the outcome.

However, the medicinal herbs are special, and they need to be taken a certain distance away from the protected area of ​​Qingcheng Mountain Academy to come into contact with the ancient human kingdoms. The danger is proportional to that.

"It's too dangerous, I'm not going."

Chen Ren shook his head decisively. He didn't even have any magic right now, and he was aware of that much.

He even advised them to at least learn some magic before going, so that it would be safer.

"Where will we get the money?"

Liu Qi smiled wryly: "Even the most basic spell costs a spirit stone, worth millions."

"Even a low-level technique like the Divine Speed ​​Technique requires at least a dozen of them."

They thought that the fifth level of Qi Condensation was the limit, but they didn't expect that when they got here, they would find that the fifth level of Qi Condensation was just the beginning.

This was a decision they made unanimously, and their two senior brothers and sisters, Renqian and Renmu, also agreed, but they would arrive later as they went to buy weapons.

"Although alloy weapons are not valuable, they can still be used for self-defense."

Renxi said with a grin, "For those of us who have neither talent nor resources, it's already pretty good that we can get such a bargain."

This is good news. If they can earn this much every time, it won't be long before they can save enough money to start practicing magic.

Don't forget, there are sect missions coming up at the end of this year, and you really can't get by without strength.

Chen Ren couldn't persuade them, nor did he have the money to do so, so he could only watch them leave.

[Ding: Sword drawing skill +5.]

But once these people left, he had nowhere to farm his sword-drawing points.

I can only bother my cheap master occasionally.

So he began to explore the main hall of Shangqing Palace. Logically speaking, he had seen nine senior disciples before, but after so long, he hadn't seen a single one.

Normally, no one is seen showing up in the Sanqing Hall, making it seem as if he is the only person on the entire mountain.

However, no matter when you come, the arrangement inside the main hall is always neat and tidy, without any discrepancies.

Chen Ren respectfully offered incense, then thought for a moment and decided not to tidy up the prayer mat he had messed up.

However, as long as he came the next day, the prayer cushion would always be able to return to its original position.

Tsk tsk, all the senior brothers and sisters on the mountain have left, and Master isn't here either. Who's taking care of things? It's so hard to guess.

This went on for days and days, and eventually one day Chen Ren got up and kicked the prayer mat into a corner.

[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +100]

Sure enough, someone was watching from the sidelines, but they tolerated it and didn't come out to confront him.

Chen Ren didn't expose him; when it comes to farming sword-drawing points, he's a professional!

In the following days, he could gain 100 sword-drawing points almost every day in the main hall. After eliminating the negative effects, his cultivation speed actually increased again.

Of course, in his spare time, Chen Ren was also thinking about how to monetize what he had.

Fifteen spirit stones, which should theoretically be worth 15 million, could easily buy him the lower three levels of the Overlapping Waves Technique.

There are still ten million left, which is more than enough for personal cultivation or purchasing vital energy resources.

The problem is that the entire Qingcheng Mountain Academy is too strict now; any spirit stone from an illegitimate source will be investigated.

He didn't want to get himself into trouble.

"I need to find a way..."

Chen Ren frowned, thought for a moment, and finally decided to go down the mountain and take the risk.

This is the ancient realm. Outside the protected area of ​​Qingcheng Mountain Academy are other forces.

Various forces intertwined and built up a fortress for humanity.

Beyond the mountains lies a city comprised of powerful families and wealthy clans. Without the constraints of any sect, it is far more chaotic.

Chen Ren decided to look for opportunities and try his luck.

After descending the mountain, you can choose a dedicated train line; the nearest city is called Yucheng.

The city is named after a statue of Yu the Great in the city. As soon as Chen Rengang got into the car, he sensed several ill-intentioned glances.

Yes, they were malicious; those gazes were like knives, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

"It's from Shangqing Palace."

He heard that sound, and then all the gazes shifted away.

In addition, he also vaguely heard such descriptions.

"Poor bastard."

"Useless."

"I thought they were rich."
