Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

46: The art of sword control, the calculations within cultivation techniques!Chen Changsheng did not continue to press Ma Yuwen, including about the Immortal Cultivation Manual he was most concerned with. He could see that this young girl’s heart was already tied to Chuanwen; once Chuanwen woke up, everything would fall into place naturally.

”Xiao Wen, if you trust my Chen Family, stay here with peace of mind. I will find a way to explain things to Aunt Liu and help cover your tracks. You’ve had a long day, go and rest!”

Chen Changsheng comforted Xiao Wen, making no mention of her background. He knew that the more indifferent he appeared now, the better. After years of living on the run, Ma Yuwen must be very guarded; he couldn’t show his motives too early and make her suspicious.

”Thank you, Uncle Chen. I... I want to take care of Brother Chuanwen...”

Xiao Wen lowered her head, her face flushing as she spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s. For a woman, going to a man’s bedroom to care for him was indeed quite embarrassing.

”Ah, you young people are so full of energy. As you wish! I’ve never liked meddling in the affairs of the youth; just follow your heart!”

Chen Changsheng said with a beaming smile. His words had a double meaning, seemingly hinting at something, which instantly made Ma Yuwen’s cheeks burn even redder!

Ma Yuwen bowed to Chen Changsheng and hurriedly rushed toward Chuanwen’s bedroom.

Chen Changsheng cleaned up the bloodstains and the remaining medical equipment in the living room, then walked out of the courtyard.

”Dad, Sister Xiao Wen is looking after Second Brother. Who exactly injured him? I want to take Howling Heaven and get revenge!”

Chuanjie was already a sensible young man. His personality wasn’t as fierce and domineering as Chuanwu’s, nor did he have Chuanwen’s sinister ruthlessness. He was more of a passionate soul, possessing a free-spirited nature of repaying kindness and seeking vengeance!

”Chuanjie, you’re not a child anymore, so I won’t hide it from you. Your second brother’s injury has found us a powerful opponent, stronger than any enemy our Family has ever faced!”

Chen Changsheng told him the whole story. Chuanjie hadn’t expected the matter to be so complicated and the underlying entanglements to be so deep. He took a deep breath and said:

”Dad, no Immortal Cultivation Manual is as important as Second Brother’s life. He thinks too little of himself! To actually risk his life for a manual!”

”And that Zhao Zhiyi—so what if he’s a government Military Official? So what if he’s a Cultivator? One day, I will take his head and avenge Second Brother’s sword wound!”

Chen Changsheng laughed heartily. A youth’s spirit is an irreplaceable thing. Chuanjie didn’t know the strength of a Cultivator, so he could speak his mind freely, and Chen Changsheng wouldn’t suppress him!

”Your second brother did it all for the Family. Chuanjie, if you want revenge, your martial arts must improve. At the very least, you must reach the Innate stage!”

Chen Chuanwen gnashed his teeth and said in a firm tone:

”I will definitely become a Xiantian Martial Artist! I will protect the Family and make Zhao Zhiyi pay in blood!”

Chen Changsheng suddenly felt like his child had grown up. He hadn’t expected that even the youngest, Chuanjie, was now so sensible; in his memory, Chuanjie was still the little kid who liked to beg for candy.

”Let’s go, Chuanjie. Come with me to Aunt Liu’s house to wrap things up!”

Chen Changsheng intended to train Chuanjie more and let him experience things, so he took him to Kaoshan Village!

Aunt Liu had gone back to her parents’ home today, so she wasn’t back yet. Chen Changsheng pushed open the unlatched courtyard gate.

Walking inside, he saw the corpse of a man lying on the ground, his throat slit by a single blade strike.

”Chuanjie, go search his body and see if there’s anything on him!”

Chuanjie didn’t find the dead body repulsive; he walked straight to the corpse and began searching, while Chen Changsheng destroyed and covered up the traces of the battle between Chuanwen and the man.

”Dad, I found something. He has a roll of parchment and a money pouch!”

After Chen Changsheng finished tidying the courtyard, he saw Chuanjie walking over with the two items.

The money pouch was nothing special, just containing some silver.

However, that roll of parchment made Chen Changsheng’s eyes light up. It actually recorded a type of Flying Sword technique!

The Flying Sword technique on this was not like the hidden weapon throwing style used by the man who fought Chuanwen; it was true Sword Control!

It was a technique for a Cultivator to use Dharma power to Command a Flying Sword to kill enemies!

Chen Changsheng excitedly put away the parchment roll. This was the first cultivation-related manual he had encountered in his life, even if it only recorded a single Spell!

Unfortunately, it wasn’t a fundamental method for cultivating Dharma power. With only the Spell and no Dharma power, this Sword Control Art was just a castle in the air, unable to exert any power!

No wonder that man used a short sword like he was throwing darts. He had no Dharma power in his body and couldn’t bring out even a sliver of its power; otherwise, Chuanwen would likely have been killed the moment he showed his face!

”What a waste of a heavenly treasure, to actually practice a cultivation Spell as a hidden weapon martial art. Truly a waste!”

Chen Changsheng cursed while laughing. However, he was now even more grateful to this assassin. Without this idiot ’treasure-delivering boy,’ how could he have obtained a Sword Control Art and enriched his Family’s cultivation foundation?

”Chuanjie, I have a task for you. Give Aunt Liu a sum of silver and secretly arrange for her to move away. Then spread word in the village that Xiao Wen was favored by a wealthy master, and he took mother and daughter away to live in comfort!”

After thinking for a while, Chen Changsheng came up with a plausible story and arranged for Chuanjie to handle it. Chuanjie was meticulous and wouldn’t easily make a mistake!

Chuanjie nodded and went back to get the silver, while Chen Changsheng returned home to ponder how to deal with Zhao Zhiyi, this future great enemy!

Time flew by, and a month passed!

During this month, Chuanwen had woken up, and Xiao Wen remained by his side to care for him, telling Chuanwen about her background at the first opportunity!

Chen Changsheng and Chuanwen discussed several times, finally deciding that Chuanwen would be the one to ask about the Immortal Cultivation Manual.

”Xiao Wen, stop for a moment. I have something I want to ask you.”

Chen Chuanwen sat up from the bed. The wound on his chest had already scabbed over, and Xiao Wen was preparing to change his dressing.

”Brother Chuanwen, what is it? Let me finish changing your dressing first!”

Xiao Wen looked at Chuanwen with a hint of confusion. She was worried about his physical condition and didn’t want to miss the time for changing the medicine.

”Xiao Wen, what I’m asking is very important!”

Chen Chuanwen grabbed Ma Yuwen’s slender hand and spoke in a solemn tone. Ma Yuwen’s cheeks instantly turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head to hide her fluster!

”Do you... do you still remember the Immortal Cultivation Manual? I am very curious in my heart; would you allow me to take a look? Of course, if you are unwilling, I won’t force you!”

A month had passed, and Xiao Wen had cared for him day and night. Chuanwen naturally knew her feelings. Asking her for the manual like this was actually using her emotions.

If it were someone with a fierce nature like Chuanwu, or the passionate sincerity of Chuanjie, they certainly wouldn’t do such a thing!

However, Chuanwen had a somber personality and deep schemes; he didn’t care about the means used. He would even calculate emotions, turning them into the foundation for the Family’s strength.

”Brother Chuanwen, what does that matter? You saved my life. It’s just a manual; I’ll write it down for you!”

Ma Yuwen wasn’t completely blinded by her feelings; it was just that she had already told others about the manual long ago, and it could no longer be kept secret. Naturally, she didn’t mind telling Chuanwen.

Thus, Ma Yuwen used a brush to write down the Cultivation Technique she knew and brought it to Chuanwen’s side.

Just as Chuanwen excitedly took the manual, wanting to scan through it, Ma Yuwen suddenly paused and said in a regretful tone:

”My Family’s manual is divided into two volumes. I only remember the second volume; my younger brother remembers the first volume. Therefore, this technique is incomplete and cannot be cultivated. If you want to practice it, you must find my brother or get it from Zhao Zhiyi!”

...Chen Chuanwen fell silent. Ma Yuwen was indeed still that shrewd woman. Chuanwen knew she wasn’t lying, but she was using half a manual to hook Chuanwen into helping her!

To get the complete Immortal Cultivation Manual, there were only two ways: one was to find her brother, and the other was to kill Zhao Zhiyi!
