I Have A Qi Fortune Altar.

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Just as Expected!
 

At noon,

Inside a room in the Chen Family’s small courtyard.

A streak of sunlight shone through the window, reflecting off Chen Yuan’s body.

He was bare-chested, his body covered in dark golden Golden Paint, with prominent blue veins under his golden skin, which were quite conspicuous. If one looked closely, they would see Chen Yuan’s face alternating between shades of blue and red.

Blood Refining.

Chen Yuan was undergoing his seventh Blood Refining!

On the floor, there was a small porcelain bottle, the container that Chen Yuan had used earlier for the Tiger Bone Pill.

Pain!

As he entered his seventh Blood Refining, Chen Yuan felt a pain piercing into his bone marrow as if it was cleansing the deepest impurities entirely!

Even, Chen Yuan felt that during the process of Blood Refining, even the bones around his body were being cleansed.

After a long time.

Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his face serene. He showed no sign of joy after completing the seventh Blood Refining, his expression instead grew even more solemn.

This was only the first step on the path of Martial Arts, and it was so difficult. It was evident how many dangers and pains Chen Yuan would have to face in the future.

But…

It was all worth it!

Chen Yuan raised his right arm, clenched his fist, and the dark golden light shone, radiating a sense of powerful beauty.

This seemingly frail body contained a formidable strength.

Chen Yuan seemed to have realized something.

The practice of Martial Arts was about returning power to oneself!

…

Beihai Gang.

Chen Yuan, as usual, was welcomed by Zhu Sihai into the inner hall, who then ordered the attendants around to leave, leaving only Chen Yuan and Zhu Sihai in the room.

There was also a rosewood box placed on the table.

Chen Yuan sat down calmly and said to Zhu Sihai,

“Are these the Tiger Bone Pills?”

Zhu Sihai nodded, then opened the rosewood box, which quietly contained four white porcelain bottles:

“Lord Chen, these are the Tiger Bone Pills that Old Zhu struggled to obtain. As for the Blood Essence Pills… they are too scarce in Ping’an County, so…”

“No matter, this is enough. Gang Leader Zhu, rest assured, since I have promised, I will definitely fulfill it. From today onwards for the next year, you will only need to bring out two hundred taels of silver each month,” Chen Yuan said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Sihai’s smile spread ear to ear, and he laughed:

“Lord Chen is a straightforward man, Old Zhu trusts you!”

“How is the investigation on that matter Gang Leader Zhu was looking into?” Chen Yuan’s tone shifted as he asked softly.

Zhu Sihai’s expression tightened, and he glanced at the door subconsciously before moving closer to Chen Yuan and whispering:

“Not hiding anything from Lord Chen, Old Zhu’s men did indeed find some anomalies.”

“Tell me…”

Chen Yuan had already formed a decision in his heart, his fingers lightly tapping on the table.

“In the North City, the number of deaths in the past two years has been several times higher than in previous years, and moreover, many of the families had members who died of diseases, but what diseases they died from, no one knows.”

“Could it be…”

Zhu Sihai’s eyes flickered uncertainly.

“Died from diseases…”

Chen Yuan’s gaze sharpened as he narrowed his eyes.

“Right, died from diseases. Old Zhu’s clever subordinate discreetly questioned the nearby medical clinics, but they are also helpless.”

“However, the disease is not contagious, and not many people have died…”

Zhu Sihai continued.

“Not many? Just in North City alone, the number of deaths has multiplied several times compared to the previous years, what about City East, West City, South City…” Chen Yuan glanced at Zhu Sihai and sneered inwardly.

However, he didn’t want to reveal too much to Zhu Sihai.

“These past two years, the drought has been getting worse. A few deaths are not unusual, perhaps I’m overthinking it…” Chen Yuan sighed and then stood up.

“Gang Leader Zhu.”

“Ah…” Zhu Sihai hurriedly responded.

“Let’s leave this matter as it is, stop the investigation,” Chen Yuan said in a low voice.

“Rest assured, Lord Chen, I have no interest in this matter, naturally, I won’t bother to look into it,” Zhu Sihai said obsequiously, his chubby cheeks quivering slightly with his smile.

“That’s best.”

Chen Yuan picked up the rosewood box on the table, turned around, and raised his hand:

“Well, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now, Gang Leader Zhu, no need to see me out.”

…

Inside the Chen family’s small courtyard.

Chen Yuan placed forty Tiger Bone Pills properly, and went before the spirit tablets of his eldest uncle and parents, his expression somber.

In the innate memories he received upon arrival, his uncle had died of illness more than a year ago, shortly after he had entered the county government, and he hadn’t taken it too much to heart, either then or before.

After all, death is a common affair.

But…

What Zhu Sihai had just said made Chen Yuan immediately think of his elder uncle’s death, which might also be connected with the miscreants of the No-Life Sect, because it indeed seemed too much of a coincidence.

And coincidences in this world are often man-made.

Chen Yuan stood silently before the spirit tablets until it grew dark, then turned and left the courtyard, heading towards his uncle’s grave.

He wanted to dig it up to see if there was a ghost.

Although Chen Yuan had transmigrated and was endowed with a different soul, after absorbing a flurry of memories, he had practically skimmed through Chen Yuan’s entire life in a very short time.

Having internalized some of it, he would naturally be angry about such matters!

Soon, Chen Yuan arrived at a clearing in a forest.

There were three grave mounds there, belonging to his parents and his uncle.

Weeds had already overgrown the surface.

After paying his respects by kowtowing several times before the three graves, Chen Yuan took a deep breath and began digging the slightly larger, new grave to his right using tools, leaving the other two undisturbed.

In his memory, the original person’s parents had died very early on. It had been over a dozen years by now, and the No-Life Sect probably hadn’t even arrived in Ping’an County at that time.

Quickly, Chen Yuan dug up a large hole, exposing the somewhat decayed coffin inside.

Using a long knife to remove the nails one by one, Chen Yuan slammed his palm on the coffin lid, taking it off.

The sliding lid was indeed easy to remove.

Chen Yuan’s gaze sharpened, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a faint killing aura lingered around him.

The coffin was empty!

Chen Yuan’s uncle’s corpse had vanished!

After a moment of silence, Chen Yuan steadied his breath and replaced the coffin lid.

He had possibly guessed this outcome before coming, he was just here to confirm it.

As it turned out, he was right.

His uncle’s death was undoubtedly connected with the demon folk of the No-Life Sect.

Chen Yuan’s uncle had been a frequent incense burner at Cien Temple, a very devout believer, and Cien Temple was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

All the evidence at hand indicated that Cien Temple was the foothold of the demon folk of the No-Life Sect in Ping’an County!

After restoring the grave soil, Chen Yuan returned to the small courtyard with a calm expression.

The Tiger Bone Pills had arrived, and his most pressing task was to continue his cultivation.

To advance into the Bone Refining Level as quickly as possible!
