High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

The system did not respond.

Chen Yuan didn't expect it to respond.

He could only endure the excruciating pain in both his body and soul, continuing to circulate the Heavenly Saint Profound Technique and absorb the medicinal power little by little.

Every second felt like someone was cutting his flesh with a knife, every minute felt like someone was burning his soul with fire.

"Every day feels like a year."

Only these four words remained in Chen Yuan's mind.

Inside the meditation room, his figure, sitting cross-legged, trembled slightly.

Sweat had soaked a small patch of the soft jade floor beneath him, and the air was filled with a rich medicinal fragrance and the heat emanating from his body.

one day.

Two days.

Three days.

Chen Yuan gritted her teeth and carried on without uttering a sound.

On the third day...

The intense pain suddenly receded a bit, like the tide receding.

The burning sensation in my meridians lessened, the tearing sensation in my mind eased, and the pricking sensation deep in my bone marrow turned into a faint soreness.

Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Finally..."

His voice was hoarse, but the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"It's relieved."

He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"If this continues, although there is no danger to my life, I feel like I'm going to go crazy."

He closed his eyes again and continued to practice his exercises.

.........

Over the next few days, the pain lessened with each passing day.

On the seventh day...

As the last stinging pain dissipated from the depths of his consciousness, Chen Yuan felt a sense of lightness throughout his body, as if a mountain that had been pressing down on him for seven days and seven nights had been lifted off his shoulders.

He suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

"The pain is finally gone!"

Chen Yuan moved his wrists, and his knuckles made a series of crisp cracking sounds.

He looked relieved, but then added through gritted teeth.

"Next time I take a pill, I absolutely have to ask the system for clarification first!"

He took a deep breath.

Feeling the medicinal power that had completely spread throughout his body.

The medicinal power of the three pills had now completely integrated into his meridians, sea of ​​consciousness, and flesh and blood, quietly waiting to be absorbed.

Chen Yuan closed his eyes again and focused all his energy on circulating the Heavenly Saint Profound Technique.

Without the interference of intense pain, the entire absorption process was pleasant.

A warm yet powerful force surged from the depths of the meridians, flowing through the entire body like a warm current.

The divine soul within the sea of ​​consciousness slowly grew stronger under the nourishment of the silvery-white medicinal power.

With each step he grew stronger, his perception became clearer.

The body became more refined under the tempering of the inky black medicinal power, and the surface of the skin shone with a faint dark golden luster.

"This is what they mean by 'no pain, no gain'..."

As Chen Yuan absorbed the medicinal power, he sighed inwardly.

"It was worth it."

"But I still prefer it to be sweet at first and then even sweeter."

Several days passed quietly during my cultivation.

What Chen Yuan didn't know was that during his seclusion, Xiao Yuanshan had already finished dealing with the matters at hand.

At the entrance of Yunye Manor.

A silver-gray shuttle slowly descended.

The hatch opened, and Xiao Yuanshan stepped out.

He was wearing a dark gray casual outfit today, not the official robes of a regional governor.

Although his face was still a little pale, his spirits were much better than when he came out of the secret realm, and his injuries seemed to have recovered to about 70-80%.

He carried an antique wooden box in his hand, its surface adorned with faint spiritual patterns.

Xiao Yuanshan looked up at the plaque above the manor gate, took a deep breath, and walked forward.

"My name is Xiao Yuanshan, and I have come to pay a visit to Special Envoy Chen."

He cupped his hands in a polite gesture to the guards Chen Jiu and Chen Shi at the door.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu and Chen Shi immediately recognized Xiao Yuanshan.

"Please wait a moment, Lord Xiao, I will go and inform them immediately."

After a while.

The manor gates opened from the inside.

Chen Tianling strode out with two Holy Dragon Guards, a polite smile on his face.

"Lord Xiao, please come in."

He stepped aside to make way and gestured for someone to walk inside.

Xiao Yuanshan nodded in greeting and stepped into the manor.

As soon as he entered, he sensed the presence of the complex array. His brows twitched slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

Chen Tianling led Xiao Yuanshan through the front yard to the reception room by the lake.

The reception room was small, but decorated in a simple and elegant style.

Outside the window, the lake shimmered, and several butterflies fluttered their wings among the flowers.

Spirit tea and spirit fruit were already laid out on the table, their fragrance wafting through the air.

"Lord Xiao, please have a seat."

Chen Tianling gestured.

Xiao Yuanshan sat down and placed the wooden box on the table.

"True God Chen, this is just a small token of my respect."

His tone was sincere.

"Thanks to Special Envoy Chen's intervention in the Black Wind Gang incident, otherwise my jurisdiction would have suffered even greater losses."

"I will remember this favor."

Chen Tianling smiled.

"Lord Xiao, you're too kind."

He picked up the teapot and poured Xiao Yuanshan a cup of tea.

"However, the boss suddenly went into seclusion these past few days and hasn't come out yet."

He paused, a hint of apology on his face.

"I've made Lord Xiao's trip for nothing."

Xiao Yuanshan paused in his tea-serving gesture.

No wonder it was Chen Tianling who came to greet him instead of Chen Yuan. He said that Chen Yuan was very easygoing and not so arrogant.

He put down his teacup, his tone tinged with regret.

"When did this happen?"

Chen Tianling shook his head.

"Just a few days ago, the boss suddenly announced that he was going into seclusion."

His tone was helpless.

"They didn't say anything to us, they just went straight into the training room, and they haven't come out yet."

Xiao Yuanshan remained silent for a moment.

Did Special Envoy Chen specify how long his retreat would last before he went into seclusion?

Chen Tianling and the Holy Dragon Guard beside him exchanged a glance and shook their heads in unison.

"The eldest brother always goes into seclusion suddenly, never giving any advance notice."

Chen Tianling shrugged.

"We don't dare to ask."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanshan could only nod regretfully.

"All right."

He secretly made plans in his mind.

"Powerful beings at the level of Eternal Star Gods may go into seclusion for several years, several months, or even several decades."

"It seems we won't be seeing Chen Yuan for a while..."

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and sat for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, chatting with Chen Tianling for a few minutes about the follow-up matters regarding the handling of the Black Wind Gang.

Then he stood up and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Chen Tianling.

"Since Special Envoy Chen is in seclusion, I will not disturb him any further."

He pointed to the wooden box on the table.

"This gift contains a low-grade Eternal Elixir. It's just a small token of my appreciation, please pass it on to me."

Chen Tianling stood up to return the greeting.

"Don't worry, Lord Xiao, I will definitely pass it on."

Xiao Yuanshan nodded and added another sentence.

"After Special Envoy Chen leaves the pass, please inform me, and I will pay him a visit."

"must."

Chen Tianling escorted Xiao Yuanshan to the entrance of the manor.

Xiao Yuanshan boarded the flying shuttle, glanced back at the direction of Yunye Manor, and gently exhaled.

"This Special Envoy Chen..."

He muttered to himself.

"He really is like a dragon whose head is seen but not its tail."

The shuttle slowly rose into the air and flew towards the outer port of Yuhua Star, quickly disappearing into the clouds.

In the underground chamber of the manor, inside the training room.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged, his aura deep and unfathomable.

The medicinal power of the three pills was slowly circulating in his body, merging into his meridians, consciousness, and flesh and blood wave after wave.

His eyes were closed, and a faint smile played on his lips.

The outside world is temporarily irrelevant to him.
