Chapter 18 - Qi Refiner

Chapter translated by: Ironize97

"Grandmaster?!"

Elder Liu also turned his head suddenly, looking at Ye Chen in disbelief.

This young man who was regarded as a liar by him and Jiang Qing, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old and still in the third year of high school, turned out to be a legendary master of transformation?

Elder Liu just felt unbelievable for a while.

Mr. Liu is a martial idiot. Although he was unable to practice because he was injured when he was young, he is very familiar with the cultivation level of martial artists.

Let alone those who are seventeen or eighteen years old, even those who can become masters before the age of forty are all extremely talented and hard-working!

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, not to mention being a master, even those who can reach the peak of external strength warriors are rare!

Let's just say that Jiang Qing, now twenty-five years old, has only reached the peak of the outer strength warrior, but he is already extremely outstanding!

"Quick, grab him!"

Jiang Qing finally recovered from the shock, let out a loud cry, managed to get up together with several bodyguards, and was about to rush towards the masked man.

Unexpectedly, the masked man struggled to get up at this time, glanced at Ye Chen with great fear, and then spitting blood, stumbled towards the door of the villa.

"Not good! He's going to run away!"

Jiang Qing couldn't catch up and shouted helplessly.

"Did I tell you to go?"

But Ye Chen moved and appeared outside the villa door, blocking the way down the mountain.

Looking at this slightly thin boy, the seriously injured masked man involuntarily stepped back.

Ye Chen's pointing sword just now really made him lack the courage to attack Ye Chen again.

Take a shot at a grandmaster... The masked man feels timid from the bottom of his heart!

"Wow—"

Before he knew it, the masked man's feet had already stepped on the edge of the cliff on the top of the mountain.

"Hey... just wait, someone will come to avenge me!"

The seriously injured masked man's voice was full of viciousness, and then he jumped towards the cliff!

He would rather jump off the cliff than shoot at Ye Chen again!

It wasn't until then that Jiang Qing chased him out with his bodyguards.

"He...he committed suicide by jumping off a cliff?"

Jiang Qing stared dumbfounded at the empty edge of the cliff.

The masked warrior who almost killed all of them was forced to jump off a cliff to commit suicide by this Ye Chen?

"It's settled, you'd better send someone to collect the corpse at the foot of the mountain."

Ye Chen clapped his hands and said lightly.

"Ye Chen! You, you, are you really so powerful?"

Liu Ruoxi also chased him out, staring at Ye Chen with a pair of beautiful eyes, beaming with excitement.

"It's nothing."

Ye Chen shook his head.

In the memory of Tianjue Immortal Venerable, those extremely powerful immortal cultivators fought, and that was called destroying the world. Compared with those, this is really nothing.

"Ye Chen, oh no, Ye... Mr. Ye, are you really a master?"

Elder Liu also walked out under the protection of several bodyguards.

For Ye Chen, Liu Lao even changed his address to Mr.

After all, Master Transformation Realm is a figure at the top of the pyramid among warriors, like a dragon in the sky, how dare he not show respect?

In fact, even in his capacity as Elder Liu, he has never met a few masters, let alone had friendship with them.

"Grandmaster?" Ye Chen shook his head, "I'm not a grandmaster."

Ye Chen is a cultivator who has stepped into the threshold of cultivating immortals, so how could he be just a master among warriors?

"Not a master? How is this possible? Isn't it the hallmark of a master of transformation?"

Old Liu said strangely.

"Outward release of internal strength? Internal force separated from the body?"

Ye Chen seemed to realize something.

It turns out that the power I just felt from the palm of the masked man is internal power.

It's just that the masked man doesn't seem to be able to achieve the level of internal force separation, so he is still just an internal force warrior.

It seems that in the past eighteen years, I really didn't know anything about warriors.

It's just that the true energy that I just displayed is the method of a cultivator, and it is completely different from the internal force of a warrior.

If there is a comparison, it is like steel and tofu.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen shook his head again, "Old Liu, I'm afraid you misunderstood me. I'm not a grand master. If I have to say it, I can say that I'm a Qi Refiner!"

The first step in the road of cultivating immortality is to refine qi. Only when you can successfully cultivate to the first level of qi refining can you truly step into the threshold of cultivating immortality.

Therefore, those who cultivate immortals are also called Qi refiners.

"Qi Refiner?"

Elder Liu was puzzled.

With his identity, he would naturally not be like ordinary people, ignorant of the strange people and strange things around him, and he was also a martial idiot, so he had heard a thing or two about the abilities of many Transformation Masters.

But it was the first time Mr. Liu heard the word 'Qi Refiner'.

"Mr. Ye, let's talk inside!"

Mr. Liu decided not to think about whether Ye Chen is a master or not. Even if he is not a master, he is definitely not weaker than a master just because of his skill of 'killing with a sword' just now!

Besides, Ye Chen has such abilities at such a young age, if it takes time, isn't it just a chance to change the dragon?

"Um."

Ye Chen nodded lightly, then walked into the villa with his hands behind his back.

After a while, the bodyguards sent by Jiang Qing to the foot of the mountain to collect the masked man's body also came back.

The masked man was naturally dead, but when several bodyguards removed the black cloth from the masked man's face, they found that the masked man's face had already been disfigured.

No wonder when Ye Chen said that he was a 'faceless guy', he was instantly irritated.

Unable to see the face of the masked man, and unable to trace the origin of the masked man, Jiang Qing had no choice but to ask the bodyguards to properly dispose of the body.

And Ye Chen got up to go back to the guest room to rest.

It is already three o'clock in the morning, and Ye Chen has been practicing since yesterday afternoon, and he is also a little tired.

"I'll take you there."

Liu Ruoxi took the initiative.

This time, Old Liu didn't stop him much, instead he had a happy smile on his face.

"By the way, I'm not used to someone guarding the door when I'm sleeping."

Ye Chen said lightly, and walked towards the guest room.

Jiang Qing, who was behind her, blushed instantly with shame, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Even Liu Lao couldn't help but blushed and picked up the teacup next to him to cover up his embarrassment.

Liu Lao and Jiang Qing, before, they regarded Ye Chen as a coward who dared not compete in martial arts and wanted to escape secretly; He is the insider accomplice of the masked man...

Even when the masked man attacked, he specially arranged two bodyguards to guard Ye Chen's door, and put Ye Chen under house arrest in a disguised form...

Who knew, it was Ye Chen who saved all of their lives in the end!

"Hmph, I just said, Ye Chen is not the kind of person you think!"

Only Liu Ruoxi raised her head triumphantly and followed Ye Chen to the guest room.

"Ye Chen, are you really not a master?"

When they arrived at the guest room, Liu Ruoxi was not polite and sat on the bed directly.

This villa originally belonged to the Liu family, so she naturally regarded this guest room as her own room, but she never thought that this guest room is now lived by Ye Chen, and this bed was just slept by Ye Chen.

"No."

Ye Chen shook his head.

"Then who is stronger between you and the master?"

Liu Ruoxi naturally believed what Ye Chen said, and asked again.

"It's hard to say now, but if it's a while later, I must be better."

Ye Chen thought for a while.

The current Ye Chen has only cultivated to the second level of Qi Refining.

Although the true essence in the body is extremely condensed and powerful, the amount is too small.

Just now, the weak white air that he used to turn his fingers into a sword and kill someone with the sword has already consumed all the true energy in his body.

If it wasn't for the critical situation just now, Ye Chen wouldn't use this kind of move that consumes too much real energy in order to quickly get rid of that masked man.

With the support of those true essence just now, if Ye Chen used Liuyun's thirty-six moves, it would not be difficult to defeat that masked man, but it might just take a little longer.

However, based on the memory fragments of some Tianjue Xianzun in his mind, Ye Chen estimated that if he cultivated to the third level of Qi Refining, no matter the quantity or quality of true energy, he would further improve greatly!

At that time, even if he meets the real transformation master among the warriors, Ye Chen will not have the slightest fear!

And if he can continue to improve his cultivation...

Ye Chen thought of the scenes of the immortal cultivators fighting in the memory fragments of the Tianjue Immortal Venerable, and casually sent out a hundred-foot sword light, cutting mountains and breaking rivers. How can any master of the transformation realm compare with that power?

Thinking of this, Ye Chen unconsciously showed a confident smile on his face.

On the other hand, Liu Ruoxi looked at Ye Chen with a trace of admiration in her eyes. I don't know if it was infected by Ye Chen's self-confidence, or something else...

"Yawn—"

It was almost four o'clock in the morning, Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but yawned, and after saying goodnight to Ye Chen with a blushing face, she fled back to her room.

...

Early the next morning, Ye Chen had to go down the mountain to go to school after having breakfast at Liu's villa.

Before leaving, Mr. Liu said to Ye Chen with some anxiety that he didn't know how to repay Ye Chen for saving his life.

Elder Liu thought about it for a long time last night, but he really couldn't think of how to repay Ye Chen for saving his life.

Money? Or status? Or a beauty?

These old Liu have thought about it, but he is afraid that using these things to thank Ye Chen, who is comparable to a master, will make Ye Chen feel that he is insulting him.

After all, whether it's money, status or beauty, isn't that easy to get for a strong man who is comparable to a master?

How can Mr. Liu get these things?

"Otherwise, let me come and live in this hilltop villa more often in the future."

Ye Chen looked at Liu Lao's appearance, and said directly without being pretentious.

What Ye Chen wants most now is to come to the top of Luoqiu Mountain to practice more!

"If Mr. Ye likes it, he can come and live here at any time. Usually, only Ruoxi lives here by himself. If Mr. Ye is willing to come and live here, I feel much relieved!"

Elder Liu immediately said without hesitation.

His eyes glanced back and forth between Ye Chen and Liu Ruoxi.
