Chapter 91 Minor Success in the Five Organs Thunderclap Technique

As dawn breaks, the autumn morning mist, carrying a hint of chill, spreads through the forest.

In contrast to the chaos inside the Feng residence, Chen Ye and his companions found themselves in a state of unusual tranquility.

None of the three were fast asleep; they got up one after another as a chill ran through them.

Chen Ye dusted himself off, mounted his horse, and the three of them began to turn back towards the capital along the route they had come from.

Passing by several locations where the body had been dumped the previous day, the three of them made a detour to take a look.

Most of the bodies had already been carried away.

The remaining corpses, which were not carried away, were all gnawed and mutilated beyond recognition, making them unrecognizable.

It's estimated that they'll disappear completely from these mountains soon.

Chen Ye immediately felt relieved and said to Zuo Changxi and the other person, "That's enough, let's go back."

The three of them immediately set off on horseback towards the capital.

Upon reaching a fork in the road, Chen Ye and Su Guang handed over the Feng family's horses to Zuo Changxi for disposal.

The three then split into two groups. Chen Ye and Su Guang went straight back to the city, while Zuo Changxi turned his horse around and headed towards the black market to change horses.

Chen Ye led Su Guang to the city gate, where the soldiers guarding the city had just changed shifts.

The city gates had just opened, and there weren't many people coming in and out yet.

The aroma of fried pancakes wafted from the pancake stalls at the city gate.

Chen Ye took a deep breath, feeling the warmth of everyday life, and the images of corpses in his mind were banished, instantly improving his mood.

The two mingled among several vegetable farmers heading to the early market, flashed the Cui family's identification badge, and successfully entered the city.

After entering the city, Chen Ye asked Su Guang, "Do you know anyone in the Lu family?"

Su Guang pondered for a moment and said, "I wouldn't say we're close, but there are one or two I can talk to."

"Go and ask them which members of the Lu family are close to the Feng family."

Su Guang frowned and said, "This area is a bit too large; it's not easy to investigate."

"Then we should focus on investigating the Lu family members who had frequent dealings with the Feng family twenty-two years ago. Anyone who can provide accurate and useful information will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver. If twenty taels isn't enough, we'll increase it to fifty taels. A generous reward will surely attract brave men."

Twenty-two years ago was the year that Guan Rongci became pregnant.

A woman who can get pregnant by another man right under her husband's nose cannot possibly be a one-night stand.

It takes continuous and secret contact for feelings to develop and even for a pregnancy to occur.

During that year, there must have been someone in the Lu family who frequently interacted with her.

Checking around this time might yield some clues.

Chen Ye thought for a moment and then said, "If you really can't find a specific person, some vague information will do. As long as it points to a certain person, it has value. List all the information you can first. I'll give you two or three days."

As if by reflex, Su Guang replied solemnly without thinking, "Yes, Your subordinate understands."

For some reason, when he looked at Chen Ye now, it was as if he saw the figure of the Third Young Master from the past.

The imposing aura emanating from the other party made him instinctively submit.

He realized that this investigation was probably not just about protecting themselves, but involved a deeper secret.

Su Guang, as was his habit, did not ask any further questions.

The two went their separate ways back home.

When Chen Ye returned to the Cui family's residence, it was still early.

Upon entering the room, he closed the doors and windows, drew the curtains, and spread the items he had obtained from Guo on the table.

The most eye-catching item was naturally the three thousand taels of silver notes.

These three thousand taels of silver notes belonged to several large money shops in the capital, and were all bearer notes payable on demand.

When he needs money, he can simply use these banknotes to exchange for cash.

In addition, he also took some miscellaneous jewelry and jade ornaments.

These items were not easy to sell, so Chen Ye took them all and used them to redeem his lifespan.

Without hesitation, he activated the pawn system interface, and the jewelry in his hand silently melted away, turning into a clear light that disappeared into the panel.

The lifespan numbers on the panel then started to jump around.

Current remaining lifespan: 626 days

[Pawnable lifespan: 625 days]

[Cumulative redemptions: 365 days]

[Remaining redeemable lifespan: 0 days]

Chen Ye looked at the string of numbers on the panel and felt a little more at ease.

They were given another year of life.

Chen Ye did not hesitate and directly gave up his lifespan of one year to exchange for one year of cultivation of the Five Organs Thunderclap Technique.

[Deduct 365 days of lifespan, and provide 365 days of cultivation points.]

The information about the Five Internal Organs Thunderclap Technique on the panel immediately popped up.

[Five Organs Thunderclap Method (Beginner)] → [Five Organs Thunderclap Method (Minor Mastery)]

Boom!

At the moment of breakthrough in his cultivation technique, a muffled thunderclap suddenly resounded within Chen Ye's body, as if an invisible lightning bolt had suddenly exploded within his internal organs.

Starting with that first sound, followed by the second, the third —

His internal organs were like five ignited volcanoes, roaring like thunder in turn, forming a unique magnetic field resonance that made his internal organs go numb.

Chen Ye seemed to have experienced this situation countless times before, and was already used to it, feeling no pain or surprise at all.

He skillfully emptied his mind, keeping the thunder firmly contained within his internal organs.

Soon, his internal organs began to undergo a new transformation under the cleansing force of the lightning energy.

A large amount of impure energy was expelled from the internal organs by the thunder, seeping out in strands through the pores, condensing into a layer of hazy gray mist on the skin's surface, and rising upwards.

A faint, fishy smell permeated the air indoors.

This process lasted for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before the thunderous sound within the body gradually subsided.

Chen Ye took a deep breath, then exhaled, repeating this process. Between breaths, the sounds of wind and thunder could actually be heard.

However, he also noticed that the sound of wind and thunder was just a change in the thunder energy within his body, not real wind and thunder.

"Small success."

Chen Ye sensed the changes within his body and discovered that a small portion of the impurities in his five internal organs had been eliminated, bringing him one step closer to his eighth rebirth.

More importantly, after mastering the Five Organs Thunderclap Technique, which is a life-extending technique, his lifespan increased slightly.

Current remaining lifespan: 615 days

[Pawnable lifespan: 614 days]

[Cumulative redemptions: 0 days]

[Remaining redeemable lifespan: 0 days]

He traded 365 days of his lifespan for a minor achievement.

The feedback from the practice made up for nearly 300 days.

Although it did not completely replenish the lifespan of his physical body, it proved that this path was feasible.

Since that's the case, and he has enough silver and enough lifespan right now, he can use this method to directly step on his right foot with his left foot and push the Five Internal Organs Thunderclap Technique to its perfection!

Thinking about this, Chen Ye couldn't help but feel tempted; perhaps he could use this opportunity to directly transform himself.

Chen Ye got up, drew water from the well, washed away the grime left on his body after the steam had evaporated, changed into dry clothes, and went straight out.

He was going to the pharmacy to purchase enough essential substances to strengthen himself, thereby completing his eighth rebirth.
