High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Over the next few days, Chen Yuan enjoyed the most pleasant time he had ever had since transmigrating.

The Holy Venerable's Mansion on Longyuan Mountain is rich in spiritual energy and has a beautiful environment. Twenty-eight dedicated staff members carefully selected by the Dragon Martial Division serve him with utmost care.

I sleep until I naturally wake up in the morning.

There is also a spiritual breakfast prepared by a top chef.

In the afternoon, I comprehended the "Primordial Chaos Scripture" in the cultivation tower, and my cultivation steadily improved. In the evening, I either browsed ancient books in the library or took a walk by the artificial lake to admire the moon.

Sometimes I would also visit the Dragon Martial Bureau headquarters, the national treasury, and the scripture pavilion.

Occasionally, on a whim, he would ask Zhao Wenyuan to prepare a car and take him for a stroll in the most bustling commercial district of Luoyang.

It really feels great to swipe that Black Gold Supreme Card!

The Dragon Warrior Division also strictly adhered to its commitments.

Aside from the daily intelligence briefings delivered via the purple-gold token, they would never disturb his secluded cultivation.

Chen Yuan was happy to have a leisurely life, living like a retired senior cadre.

They enjoy all kinds of entertainment, from eating and drinking to having fun.

however.

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

Two weeks later, in the eastern district of Luodu, at the residence of the Liu family, a martial arts clan.

"Outrageous! This is outrageous!"

An angry roar came from the main hall, making the doors and windows rattle.

Inside the hall.

A middle-aged man in a black Dragon Warrior uniform was so angry that his face turned ashen. He slammed the teacup in his hand onto the ground!

He is Liu Cang, Minister of the Livelihood Department of the Dragon Martial Division.

He is also the current head of the Liu family, one of the nine great martial arts families in Luodu, besides the Martial Saint family.

He just received the news.

The bottle of "Holy Spirit Liquid" that had just been collected a few months ago in the national treasury was taken away by the newly promoted National Guardian Saint Venerable Chen Yuan under the pretext of needing it for cultivation!

"That's a peerless treasure that can increase the probability of a Martial Venerable breaking through to Martial Saint by 30%! My Liu family has waited for twenty whole years, and with our ancestor about to go into seclusion, we've been waiting to use it to break through to the Saint Realm!"

Liu Cang's eyes were bloodshot, and his chest heaved violently.

Holy Spirit Liquid is the essence of heaven and earth collected from the core area of ​​the large celestial cave "Forbidden Zone of Life," and it takes twenty years to condense a small bottle of it.

Furthermore, due to the extremely high danger level of this celestial cave, it is extremely difficult to bring the collected items out after collection.

Therefore, its value cannot be measured in monetary terms.

It's truly a case of having a price but no market!

His ancestor, who was also his father, had been stuck at the peak of Martial Venerable for nearly fifty years, and due to his own injuries, his lifespan was coming to an end.

This bottle of Holy Spirit Liquid was a "preparatory exchange qualification" that the Liu family had secured by exhausting their family contribution points and pulling countless strings.

Just wait another three months.

Once you've accumulated enough contribution points, you can officially redeem them, allowing the Ancestor to make a final, desperate stand.

Either break through to the Saint Realm in one fell swoop, or fail to break through and suffer a backlash, accelerating the speed of your demise.

But now... it's gone!

"Chen Yuan... Chen Yuan..." Liu Cang gritted his teeth.

"What use do you, a peak Martial Saint, have for Holy Spirit Liquid?! You're clearly using your status to forcibly seize it! What have my Liu family ever done to offend you?!"

"I'm ruthless! I hate it!"

"Father, Father, please calm down," Liu Yunlie, Liu Cang's eldest son, said cautiously from the side.

"Chen Yuan is, after all, a peak Martial Saint, and he was personally awarded the title of Honorary Director by Director Zhou. We...we can't afford to offend him."

"Father, please be careful with your words..."

"Can't afford to offend them? Be careful what you say?"

Liu Cang suddenly turned his head, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

"So what if he's at the peak of Martial Saint? My Liu family has served the Great Xia for generations. My ancestor was a founding hero even before the Heavenly Cave disaster! My patriarch made outstanding contributions to the Great Xia! Chen Yuan has only been here a few days, and he dares to be so unscrupulous?!"

"Go! Prepare the car! I'm going to Longyuan Mountain to ask them directly!"

"Father, please reconsider!" Liu Yunlie quickly advised.

"That Chen Yuan is unfathomable; even Chief Zhou treats him with courtesy. If we come here to question him like this, what if..."

"There's no 'what if'!" Liu Cang interrupted.

"I, Liu Cang, act solely on reason! If Chen Yuan dares to bully the weak, I will risk my entire cultivation to demand an explanation from Chief Zhou!"

After all, walk away.

Unable to stop his father at all, Liu Yunlie shook his head with a bitter smile as he watched his father's departing figure.

He knew that his father had lost his mind from anger.

After all, this is about whether the Liu family can rise to the next level, from the bottom of the nine major martial arts families in Luodu to become a martial saint family.

Originally, I dreamed of making the Liu family great again.

The result was good.

Chen Yuan, through a series of unfortunate coincidences, managed to completely remove the steps that would have led to this heavenly realm.

Even more deadly is...

The Liu family is now facing a generational gap, with only the patriarch stuck at the peak of Martial Venerable, barely managing to keep things afloat.

The strongest among the rest, the family head Liu Cang, was only at the mid-stage of Martial Venerable.

There were quite a few direct descendants and elders in the early stages of the Martial Venerable's reign, but it wasn't enough to make a difference!

If the patriarch fails to break through to the Martial Saint realm and eventually passes away, the Liu family will inevitably decline drastically, and their situation will only worsen...

Longyuan Mountain, the Holy Venerable's Residence.

Chen Yuan was lying on a deck chair by the artificial lake, sunbathing, playing with the bottle of Holy Spirit Liquid he had just acquired.

Inside the crystal-clear jade bottle, a milky-white liquid flowed slowly, exuding a rich aura of life.

"This is amazing!" Chen Yuan exclaimed in amazement.

He really doesn't need this thing.

At the peak of Martial Saint cultivation, the effects of the Holy Spirit Liquid are negligible.

It was mainly because I accidentally triggered a hidden achievement.

Collect ten kinds of Saint-level rare and precious materials to trigger the hidden achievement: I have the treasures (2/10)], the reward is [Perfect understanding of Saint-level alchemy].

This bottle of Holy Spirit liquid is exactly the second type.

"Once I've saved enough, it wouldn't be bad to refine a few batches of holy pills for fun," Chen Yuan thought happily.

Just then.

Chen Tianling appeared silently beside him: "Boss, someone outside the mansion is requesting an audience. He claims to be Liu Cang, the Minister of the Livelihood Department of the Dragon Martial Division."

"Liu Cang?" Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow.

I vaguely remember seeing him when he first arrived in Luodu.

With a casual sweep of his divine sense, he "saw" the middle-aged man engulfed in flames outside the mansion gate.

His expression and demeanor made it seem as if he had killed his entire family.

"What are you doing here?"

Chen Tianling paused, then added, "He said... he came for the Holy Spirit Liquid, to demand an explanation."

Chen Yuan smiled.

Demanding an explanation?

He casually stored the Holy Spirit Liquid in his infinite storage space.

"Let him in."

A few minutes later, Liu Cang strode into the garden, led by Zhao Wenyuan.

When Liu Cang saw Chen Yuan lying on the recliner, leisurely like a retired cadre, his already burning anger suddenly surged to the top of his head.

He was furious; the other person was actually sunbathing?!

"Chief Chen." Liu Cang suppressed his anger and clasped his hands in a perfunctory manner, as if shooing away a fly. "Your subordinate is Liu Cang, Minister of the Livelihood Department of the Dragon Martial Division."

"Hmm." Chen Yuan didn't even lift his eyelids. "What is it?"

This nonchalant attitude made Liu Cang's forehead veins throb.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "May I ask, Chief Chen, did you take that bottle of Holy Spirit Liquid from the national treasury?"

"Yes."

"Does Chief Chen know that the bottle of Holy Spirit Liquid is a treasure that my Liu family reserved months ago? My ancestor's lifespan is nearing its end, and he is counting on it to break through to the Saint Realm and continue the family's revitalization of Great Xia!"

Chen Yuan finally lifted her eyelids and glanced at him.

"so what?"

"So?" Liu Cang's chest heaved violently. "As the Holy Venerable One who protects the Great Xia Dynasty, Chief Chen should prioritize the greater good! Immediately return the Holy Spirit Liquid!"

Chen Yuan sat up, looking at him with a half-smile: "Minister Liu, are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

"I wouldn't dare."

Despite the subtle but palpable pressure emanating from him, Liu Cang spoke slowly and deliberately, "However, Chief Chen's behavior is somewhat... abusing his power!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the garden suddenly dropped.

The smile on Chen Yuan's face disappeared.

He slowly stood up, and an invisible pressure spread out.

"Bullying others by taking advantage of one's power?"

Chen Yuan's voice was very soft, but it made Liu Cang tremble all over.

"Liu Cang, do you know that the words 'I can have any cultivation needs met first' were spoken by Chief Zhou himself?"

"I followed the rules; how could I be abusing my power?"

"On the contrary, you, a mere minister, dare to come to my door and question me?"

With each word spoken, the oppressive aura intensified.

Liu Cang's face turned deathly pale, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his legs began to weaken.

The oppressive aura of a peak Martial Saint.

How could a mid-stage Martial Venerable possibly withstand that?

Logically, he should have tactfully stepped aside at this point, but thinking of the effort the entire Liu family had put into that bottle of Holy Spirit Liquid... Liu Cang protested.

"Chief Chen! The Dragon Martial Division has its own rules! I, Liu Cang, am the minister personally appointed by Chief Zhou, and I have worked diligently and without error during my tenure!"

"If you are dissatisfied with me, you may impeach me to the Director's Office according to the rules! But today I came to inquire about the whereabouts of public property in accordance with the rules, and you used coercion to force me... If this gets out, it will probably damage your reputation as the Holy Regent of the Nation!"

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Oh, you're even lecturing him on the rules?

"You mean I should lower myself and explain things to you properly?"

Despite the oppressive aura, Liu Cang struggled to straighten his back.

"I am merely reminding Chief Chen that internal fighting is strictly prohibited within the Dragon Martial Division! If you were to lay a hand on me, you would be violating the ironclad rule personally established by Chief Zhou!"

After saying that, he gave Chen Yuan a provocative look.

That look clearly said: Try touching me?

Chen Yuan laughed at the other party's stupidity.

This is a world of martial arts where the strong are respected, and his peak Martial Saint cultivation level is the rule!

"Minister Liu." Chen Yuan took a step forward, and the oppressive aura instantly intensified several times over.

Liu Cang bent his knees and knelt on the ground with a thud, but he still stubbornly raised his head with a face full of dissatisfaction.

"Chief Chen! You...you are bullying the weak! I'm going to your residence to report you! You, the Holy Regent who protects the nation, are bullying the descendant of an old minister who shed blood for the country!"

"Bullying? Then let me ask you, what is the punishment for insubordination?"

Liu Cang's pupils contracted sharply.

Chen Yuan is the Honorary Director, whose status is equivalent to that of the Director.

Liu Cang, on the other hand, was only the Minister of the Ministry of People's Livelihood, a full three ranks lower in rank!

"I...I..." Liu Cang's forehead was covered in cold sweat. "I only came here to demand an explanation, not..."

"When you came in, you called yourself your subordinate, but you were rude and arrogant to me," Chen Yuan recounted slowly.

"Is this considered insubordination, or utter disrespect?"

"Or are they questioning Chief Zhou's decision?"

Liu Cang's face turned completely pale.

Chen Yuan looked down at him, too lazy to waste any more words, and uttered the last two words indifferently.

"Get lost."

boom!

Liu Cang was struck hard and flew backward, landing awkwardly on the bluestone road a hundred meters away.
