Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 66: True pneumonia
Muyuding, the residence of Tie Ren Tu, is empty. People here are either dead or running away. There is no one in sight.

"I don't know what happened to the chef at Iron Man Tu. He was a good cook. It would be a shame if he died."

Looking at the empty house, an idea came to Jiang Chen's mind.

"The Heart Refining Stone and the Fog-Chasing Flag, these two treasures are at least somewhat valuable."

With his hands pinching the magic formula, threads of true energy began to appear around Jiang Chen, and then spread out, penetrating into every corner of the house. This is the Qi Silk Technique, and it is also the best spell that Jiang Chen has mastered so far.

Huh, the true energy shuttled through, and after a moment, Jiang Chen found the secret room where the Iron Man Butcher practiced. This process was not difficult, because after losing his mind and becoming a zombie, the Iron Man Butcher had invisibly destroyed many arrangements.

"The Heart Refining Stone and the Mist-Driving Flag are indeed here. There are also two Taoist books. They are most likely obtained from An Yuxuan."

After walking into the secret room and seeing the things inside, Jiang Chen knew that he had found the right place. In addition, he made an unexpected discovery. There was actually a secret door in the secret room. If it weren't for his strong perception, he might have missed it.

"What could be hidden in here?"

With the surge of true energy, Jiang Chen opened the secret door, and what came into his sight was a prison cell with a man imprisoned inside. His limbs had been broken and he was placed in a jar with only his head exposed.

"Who are you, Iron Man Slayer?"

"Quick, save me. I am a cultivator. As long as you save me, I will teach you the method of cultivation and let you enjoy endless wealth and glory..."

Realizing that there was an outsider coming, An Yuxuan opened his eyes with difficulty. After discovering that it was not Iron Man Butcher, he immediately became excited.

Tie Ren Tu hadn't been here for a long time, and there was no one to bring him food. He guessed that something might have happened to Tie Ren Tu, and the arrival of the stranger Jiang Chen made him more certain of his guess.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's expression did not change when he looked at An Yuxuan, whose hair was as dry as grass, whose face was pale and thin, and who was only skin and bones. The young master of a noble family had now ended up like this.

As for the reason why Iron Man Butcher imprisoned him here, it is not difficult to guess. It was just for the sake of An's family treasure. After all, not everyone has his means.

Looking at Jiang Chen who had no reaction, An Yuxuan couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly realized the difference in Jiang Chen's aura and confirmed Jiang Chen's identity as a cultivator.

"I know the secret of the An family's treasure. It contains not only countless treasures, but also spells that lead directly to the foundation of Taoism. As long as you let me go..."

His words were hurried, and the uneasiness in his heart was growing stronger and stronger. An Yuxuan took out his biggest bargaining chip.

He had not spoken a word when he was tortured by Iron Man Butcher before, because he knew that he would be dead if he spoke. In fact, if he was not a cultivator with strong vitality, he would not have survived until now.

Now he can only hope to use this thing to temporarily restrain Jiang Chen, just like dealing with the Iron Man Butcher. He still has some confidence in this. After all, for ordinary cultivators, the An family treasure is indeed of extremely high value.

But in the next moment, the expression on his face completely froze, and with a wisp of true energy passing by, he lost his breath and died.

Before he died, he looked at Jiang Chen with a puzzled look. He didn't understand why Jiang Chen could kill him so quickly and decisively without even the slightest hesitation. After killing An Yuxuan, Jiang Chen extended his hand.

Regardless of whether what An Yuxuan said was true or false, he had no interest in getting entangled with An Yuxuan. As long as he searched his soul, he would know everything he could.

Buzz, the soul was moving, and the secret that An Yuxuan had kept so tightly during his lifetime was clearly revealed to Jiang Chen after his death. How tight-lipped he was during his lifetime, how honest he was after his death.

"The An family did have some luck. They first obtained the Heart Refining Stone and cultivated a martial arts master. Later, they found a declining Qi training family and wiped them out, thus embarking on the path of cultivation. Later, they even received a series of foundation-level inheritances."

"Although this inheritance is severely damaged, after some repairs, it can be used by Qigong cultivators to practice it. It is even stronger than the An family's original cultivation method."

As An Yuxuan's soul dissipated, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh as he thought about the An family's rise to wealth.

"The real treasure of the An family is actually the spiritual spring in Qingxi County and hundreds of acres of spiritual fields. This is the real foundation. In addition, there are two magical instruments that the An family has accumulated with great difficulty. However, these things were buried in Wuxian Mountain along with the An family's Qi training."

"Apart from these, the An family doesn't actually have many real treasures. One is the Heart Refining Stone, the second is the incomplete Earth Lung True Inflammation Sutra, which is a Taoist foundation, and the third is the An family's original Qi training inheritance, the Qinghe Jue. This method cultivates the Qi of water and wood, and is not good at killing. However, it is quite accomplished in cultivating spiritual fields. This is also an important reason why the An family has been able to open up hundreds of acres of spiritual fields over the years."

"As for what's hidden in Leshan County, it's actually just a fire cave and some basic resources. The most precious thing is a first-level red fire fungus and some spiritual rice seeds. An Yuxuan wants to go to Leshan County to use the fire cave and resources there for cultivation. Because his main training is the Earth Lung True Flame Meridian, and with the help of the red fire fungus, he may be able to successfully cultivate his Qi."

As his thoughts turned, Jiang Chen realized that most of the An family's treasures that were scattered around had actually fallen into his hands.

Because the two Taoist books he had seen before were the Earth Lung True Flame Sutra and the Qinghe Jue. As for some of the secret codes in them, he had found the answers in An Yuxuan's soul. For him now, these two inheritances were complete.

"I still need to make some time to go to Leshan County. There's no way to deal with that fire hole for now, but I can still take that red fire fungus away. Besides, those spiritual rice seeds themselves are also of some value."

With an idea in mind and after confirming that nothing was missed, Jiang Chen put away An Yuxuan's body and left the secret room.

After making simple arrangements, Jiang Chen sent someone to Jinsha Valley to deliver a letter and returned to the small courtyard where his family once lived. Because his status had risen, the courtyard had been well maintained.

“It’s quite intimate.”

Returning to the small courtyard where he used to live, Jiang Chen's heart was touched. Although this courtyard was small, it was his starting point in this world.

"Did you still fail?"

Coming to the yard, Jiang Chen looked at the peach tree and saw that it was becoming more and more rotten. He couldn't help but shook his head. He felt a strong aura of twilight from the peach tree, and it was indeed about to reach the end of its life.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and continued to sit under the peach tree. Jiang Chen began to flip through and organize the Taoist books. Some of these books came from An Yuxuan, and some came from the Taoist corpse. They were all quite valuable.

As for those miscellaneous matters, Jiang Chen ignored them and left them entirely to Cao Banshan. Even if he couldn't handle them well, Wang Yuan, Shouhou and others would naturally take over after they arrived. For him, his own cultivation was the most important thing. If he was distracted by dealing with these miscellaneous matters, it would be putting the cart before the horse.
