Send Her To Water Prison

"This Mysterious Eight Tones is difficult to understand with the scientific standards of the Xuanyuan

continent, but it's easy for me to understand."

Su Chen murmured, "Everything is made up of atoms, and atoms vibrate. Even the hardest and

most stable piece of iron is constantly vibrating under microscopic observation. Since it vibrates, it

must produce sound."

Everything has a spirit, and everything has sound. There is no absolute silence in this world. In

places where the human ear can't hear, everything has its own unique sound.

If one can hear these sounds, they can catch any slight movement in the surroundings.

The Mysterious Eight Tones enhanced one's hearing to the extreme, allowing one to listen to the

sounds of the surrounding environment. Even the weakest infrasound could be heard clearly.

However, there is a disadvantage to cultivating the Mysterious Eight Tones. There are too many

sounds that can be heard, and it becomes difficult to distinguish.

However, the person who created this set of techniques has considered this problem, so it is called

the Mysterious Eight Tones, and not just listening to one sound.

These eight tones are not the eight tones of the music box, but the sounds of various substances.

The sound of soil, the sound of vegetation, the sound of air … and the sound of the human body.

These sounds can be heard individually.

And the most useful thing for cultivators is naturally to listen to the sounds of the human body.

After all, the human body is a living thing. The blood in the body is constantly flowing, and the

sounds it makes are more unique and obvious. It is the easiest sound to hear.

By listening to the sounds of the human body, as long as anyone gets close to Su Chen, no matter

how well they hide, he can detect them in advance.

Moreover, different sounds contain different information. By judging the speed of the other party's

heartbeat and breathing rhythm, one can even roughly guess the other party's intention and

purpose. If the other party comes with killing intent, the sound will be even more obvious.

"Good skill, let's talk about it after I max it out."

The Mysterious Eight Tones has a total of 30 levels, and each level requires 5 skill points. Su Chen

maxed them all out.

In an instant, the whole world in Su Chen's ears seems to have become completely different.

With his eyes closed, he can clearly distinguish the surroundings through the sounds from

everything.

However, there are too many sounds, and it is too noisy. Su Chen shut off the other sounds and

only focused on listening to the sounds of the human body.

He heard Huang Zhan sitting quietly outside the door, waiting. His breathing was even and his

pulse was steady. He was as motionless as a statue.

Outside the Scripture Pavilion, the guards were whispering to each other, discussing the gossip

about Su Chen.

Their conversation was clearly heard by Su Chen, as if they were whispering in his ear.

In addition, Su Chen also heard another voice.

"Chu Yanran? What is she doing sneaking around? " Su Chen frowned and walked to the window to

look down. Sure enough, he found Chu Yanran pacing back and forth outside the Hidden Scriptures

Pavilion. Her heart was beating very fast and her breathing was very chaotic. He didn't know what

she was thinking.

Could it be that she still hadn't given up and wanted to assassinate him?

Su Chen had an idea. He walked to the door and gave some instructions to Huang Zhan.

Huang Zhan immediately nodded. His figure flashed and jumped out of the window. In less than two breaths, he flew back with Chu Yanran.

"Let go of me!"

Chu Yanran kept struggling, but she was only in the early Profound Realm. In front of a Heaven

Realm expert like Huang Zhan, she had no power to resist.

Su Chen looked at Chu Yanran with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Chu Yanran, weren't you

imprisoned? Why did you escape alone?"

Chu Yanran angrily glared at Su Chen. "Lowly slave, how dare you call this queen by her name."

"Slap!"

Su Chen slapped Chu Yanran's face with a backhand, directly making Chu Yanran dizzy. She was

stunned in place with a look of disbelief. She couldn't believe that Su Chen dared to hit her.

"Damn it! Lowly slave! You're dead. Even if you become the State Preceptor, you're just a lowly

slave of the Chu Family. I'll let Father tear you into pieces and feed you to the dogs! "Chu Yanran

said fiercely.

"Bang!"

Su Chen was even more straightforward this time. He directly clenched his fist and punched Chu

Yanran's lower abdomen.

Chu Yanran's body arched, and she immediately collapsed to the ground. She was in so much pain

that she broke out in cold sweat. However, she still refused to admit defeat. She whimpered and

cursed Su Chen, saying all kinds of malicious words.

Su Chen coldly snorted and said, "Huang Zhan, bring her to the Danqing Palace and lock her in the

water prison. I'd like to see how long she can be stubborn for."

Huang Zhan hesitated and said, "Shizun, this isn't appropriate. This little girl is a princess after all."

"So what if she's a princess? Tell Chu Tianming that I'm going to punish Chu Yanran on his behalf. If

he feels sorry for her, then let him come and get her. At that time, I can return Chu Yanran to him.

However, I don't want to be the State Preceptor anymore. Let him decide for himself."

Su Chen's fists were bigger now, so his words were a lot more forceful. So what if he was the

emperor of Chu? Why should he give him face?

"This … This disciple obeys." Huang Zhan felt helpless, but he still did as Su Chen said. After all, he

was Su Chen's disciple now, so he had to take his master's side in everything.

Moreover, Huang Zhan knew very well how terrifying the value of a Grand Alchemist was. Chu

Tianming definitely wouldn't dare to offend Su Chen.

After returning to the Danqing Palace, the news that Su Chen had detained The Ninth Princess

quickly reached Chu Tianming's ears.

Chu Tianming was also shocked. Just as he was about to personally go to the Danqing Palace to

plead for leniency, a beautiful woman in a luxurious palace dress walked over.

"Your Majesty, let me go. Master Su is young and impetuous. After suffering so much at Yanran's

hands, he definitely won't let it go. If you go to Master Su now, you might even completely enrage

Master Su. As Yanran's birth mother, it's more appropriate for me to go and plead for leniency."

As the beautiful woman spoke, the three furry fox tails behind her swayed left and right.

"Very well, it's more appropriate for you to go, Fox Princess. However, you must remember that you

can't offend Master Su. Whether or not you can save Yanran is secondary. Appeasing Master Su's

anger is your top priority. If necessary, you can use all your skills. You must not allow Master Su to

 be removed from his position as State Preceptor."

"… This humble woman obeys."

As she turned around, a trace of undetectable disappointment flashed through Fox Princess's eyes.

…

The Danqing Palace.

Su Chen was sitting cross-legged in a pavilion in the back garden, absorbing the yuan qi of heaven

and earth to cultivate.

What he was practicing now was a Profound Level Technique called the Absorption Breathing

Technique. Like the Xuanyuan Skill, it was a basic type of cultivation technique. However, it was

more powerful than the Xuanyuan Skill. It could directly absorb the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi

into the body through breathing to enhance the cultivation. It was several times more efficient than

the Xuanyuan Skill.

In the past, Su Chen's aptitude wasn't good enough, so he could only cultivate the Xuanyuan

Method. However, now that his aptitude was no longer limited, he could naturally choose a better

technique to cultivate.

However, just cultivating step by step wasn't efficient enough.

Therefore, he refined a heaven-level pill, the Superior Cultivation Pill, for himself.

A single pill could increase Su Chen's cultivation speed by a hundredfold for ten hours!
