Chapter 663: You shouldn't be called Ren Jian (Benevolent Sword), but rather Jian Ren (Scumbag)

It took a full five days for Yin Qi to completely refine the Fiery Immortal Lotus. In addition to condensing over three hundred acupoints, his Immortal Dao cultivation also took the opportunity to push through to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

In total, he had now condensed seven hundred acupoints.

Yin Qi slowly opened his eyes, and a brilliant light shot forth, making the surrounding space seem to brighten for an instant.

Chen Nan was bored to tears. Seeing Yin Qi wake up, he smiled and said, "Brother Yin, you have finally finished your cultivation. If you hadn't woken up, I would have been bored to death."

Because he had to stand guard, he could not go far, and he could not even make too much noise.

These five days, he had relied on dry rations to get by.

Yin Qi smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work. By the way, have Chu Yu and the others not returned yet?"

Chen Nan shook his head: "No."

Yin Qi frowned: "It has already been five days, and they still haven't returned. Could they have encountered some trouble?"

In the original story, Chu Yu seemed to have encountered the Third Prince of the Hundred Yue Kingdom, Ren Jian. He not only wanted to snatch the Houyi Bow, but also planned to present Chu Yu as a gift to someone else.

"How about we go look for them?"

Chen Nan hesitated slightly. Although he did not like Chu Yu, human life was at stake after all: "It's just that the mountains here are boundless, so how are we supposed to find them?"

Yin Qi said: "This matter is simple. I have a rough grasp of the Heavenly Secret Path and can calculate her whereabouts."

"You are also proficient in the Heavenly Secret Path!"

Chen Nan's eyes widened.

He had only heard of such a Secret Technique ten thousand years ago; Yin Qi knew it too?

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and became excited: "Brother Yin, since you are proficient in the Heavenly Secret Path, can you calculate the whereabouts of my father, Chen Zhan? Also, Yu... Yuxin, did she walk out of the Hundred Flowers Valley back then?"

Although ten thousand years had passed, he still firmly believed that his father, Chen Zhan, was still alive.

Back then, his father, Chen Zhan, was a generation of Heavenly Pride.

If there were no accidents, achieving Immortal Martial was a certainty.

And as long as one became an immortal and survived that great upheaval, they would certainly be able to live until now.

And there was Yuxin.

She had entered the Hundred Flowers Valley for closed-door cultivation back then, and he didn't know if she had come out.

If she had come out, perhaps Yuxin was still alive as well.

As for his mother.

She was just an ordinary person; she had likely long since...

Looking at Chen Nan, whose eyes were red with excitement, Yin Qi thought for a moment and said: "Alright, I will attempt a calculation. It's just that my cultivation is still low, and the time passed is too long, so I can only calculate a rough idea."

Chen Nan nodded repeatedly: "That's fine, that's fine."

Yin Qi nodded, feigning a look of concentration as he slightly closed his eyes, only opening them after a long while.

"How is it?"

Chen Nan's expression was excited, his eyes filled with both anticipation and anxiety.

Yin Qi said: "According to my calculation, not only is your father still alive, but your mother is also still alive. And Yuxin, she did walk out of the Hundred Flowers Valley back then. It's just that their conditions are not very good."

Yuxin was split into four, so her situation was naturally not good;

Chen Zhan was split into God and Demon, with his demon body sealed in the Seventeenth Layer of Hell and his god body in the perilous Third Realm.

"Not very good!"

Chen Nan's face changed, but then he muttered to himself, comforting himself: "It's fine, it's fine, as long as they are still alive, that's enough. I knew it, they must still be alive. Brother Yin, where are they?"

Yin Qi pondered: "I cannot calculate the whereabouts of your parents. However, as for Yuxin, she seems to be in the Immortal World."

Telling him Yuxin's whereabouts would also save Chen Nan from flirting with others.

In the original story, besides Yuxin, Chen Nan had rounded up all the clones of Qijue Tiannv. Since he had come, he should leave this important task to him.

Knowing that Yuxin was still alive, Chen Nan would naturally not be tempted by other women.

"Yuxin is in the Immortal World. Hahaha, that's great, I must work hard to cultivate and go to the Immortal World as soon as possible to find..." Having said this, Chen Nan stopped abruptly, his mood sinking.

He suddenly remembered that his cultivation was locked, and no matter how hard he tried to cultivate, it would be of no use. In his current state, let alone ascending to the Immortal World, he probably wouldn't even be able to recover his Second Order cultivation.

"Don't be discouraged. You also know that I am proficient in Medicine, and I have been thinking about your situation all year. After we get out, I will see if I can help you recover."

Yin Qi patted Chen Nan on the shoulder.

As far as the current situation went, Chen Nan had already deviated from the plot line, so it was unlikely he would have his cultivation dissolved by Chu Yu.

Chen Nan suddenly looked up, like a dying man grasping at a straw: "Brother Yin, you have a way, you must have a way, right?"

"I have a seventy or eighty percent chance of success."

Yin Qi nodded.

The reason he didn't say it now was because they were in the middle of the forest.

If he were to dissolve his cultivation, he would still have to be distracted to take care of Chen Nan, which would be troublesome.

"Good, good!"

Please... you.... bookmark 6... 9... book....!

Chen Nan was ecstatic: "By the way, weren't we going to find Chu Yu? Let's hurry, once we find her, we'll leave the mountains immediately."

Yin Qi nodded, slightly closing his eyes to secretly calculate.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Chu Yu's situation is not good. She has encountered danger, and she is not far from us. Hmm, they are heading this way."

The inertia of the plot meant that Chu Yu still encountered the Third Prince of the Hundred Yue Kingdom, Ren Jian.

Chen Nan was a bit confused.

Encountering danger and heading this way—could it be that they were fleeing for their lives?

……

The Third Prince wore a meaningful smile on his face and asked again: "Princess Yu, how much further? With the Qilin appearing this time, if we have Senior Zhuge, our two families joining forces will surely yield results."

Chu Yu said impatiently, "How many times have you asked on this journey? It's just ahead; once we cross that mountain, we'll be there. My master doesn't like to move, so she stayed at the camp waiting for us, telling us to return on time to meet up with her."

The guards behind her all kept straight faces, admiring their Princess's ability to lie; it was truly natural-born.

Ever since separating from Yin Qi and Chen Nan, Chu Yu had been like a horse off its tether, dashing wildly through the mountains and hunting down quite a few Magic Beasts, even using the Houyi Bow to shoot and kill a Third Order peak Magic Beast.

Because the Houyi Bow could only be used once a year, although Chu Yu was unreliable, she was also someone who cherished her life, so she decided to turn back, yet she did not expect to encounter the Third Prince of the Hundred Yue Kingdom halfway.

The Third Prince of the Hundred Yue Kingdom 'requested' to protect Chu Yu, but Chu Yu said it was unnecessary, as her master Zhuge Chengfeng was waiting for them to return at the camp, and the camp was not very far away.

Zhuge Chengfeng was a Fifth Tier peerless expert, so because they were too close, the Hundred Yue Kingdom dared not make a move, but fearing that Chu Yu was deceiving him, he insisted on coming to pay a visit and wanted the two parties to join forces to hunt the Qilin.

Chu Yu could not refuse, so she naturally agreed immediately.

Although master Zhuge Chengfeng was not there, with Yin Qi present, it was more than enough to deal with this group from the Hundred Yue Kingdom.

And so, along the way, the two began to out-act each other.

The Third Prince probed in various ways, while Chu Yu played dumb; they were truly evenly matched opponents.

Finally, they arrived at the pool.

"We're here!"

Looking at Yin Qi and Chen Nan standing by the pool, Chu Yu suddenly giggled, feeling an indescribable sense of relief.

The Third Prince was stunned.

He looked at Yin Qi and Chen Nan, then turned to look at Chu Yu and said, "Who are they, and where is Senior Zhuge?"

Chu Yu stopped pretending, rolled her eyes, and put some distance between herself and the Third Prince: "Are you stupid? I snuck out of the Imperial Palace; how could my master follow me? He wishes I would stay in the palace forever."

"Hmm, not only are you stupid, you're also wicked."

"Not only are you plotting against my Chu Kingdom's precious treasure, the Houyi Bow, but you even want to target this Princess; have you eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard?"

"You shouldn't be called Ren Jian (Benevolent Sword), but rather Jian Ren (Despicable Person)." (End of chapter)
