Chapter 3: 10,000 Taels of Silver
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Wei Chi lifted the cloth of the casino and walked in until he saw the badly beaten Wei Fei in the corner.
Wei Chi let out a deep sigh.
His second brother was whoring. Even if it was prostitution, it didn't cost money, but gambling wasn't an option. How many people had walked the bloody road and still remained walking?
Wei Chi didn't know. "How can Wei Fei be inseparable from gambling and drugs?".
One had to know that he could have thought of a way to get his hands on these 2000 taels of silver and then form a sect.
But now, they were all used up!
"Haha, Wei Fei, your third brother came to pick you up."
"And Wei Chi, have you brought the money?"
Wei Chi couldn't be bothered with these thugs and gestured for the 2000 taels of silver in his hand. When the thugs saw the 2000 taels of silver in Wei Chi's hand, greed appeared on their faces!
"But you guys beat my second brother up like this?" Wei Chi looked at the thugs around him. "That's not good, right?"
"Haha, it's him who wants to escape. We have no choice," the thugs said mockingly.
"Really? Then, did he succeed in escaping? Did he step out of this door?" Wei Chi looked around coldly.
Everyone was confused.
What was going on? This Wei Chi was different from what they understood.
Wei Chi took out one of the 2000 taels of silver and placed it on the table. "The rest is for the wound!"
The people next to him immediately came up to surround Wei Chi.
Wei Chi had already gone to Wei Fei's side.
Wei Fei was beaten and bruised. When he saw that it was Wei Chi who had come, his comical face was filled with cries for help.
"Third Brother! You're finally here." Wei Fei couldn't even speak clearly.
Wei Chi directly pulled him into a huff.
The gamblers all moved aside.
When Wei Chi coldly pressed Wei Fei's finger on the gambling table, his expression didn't change. A knife directly chopped on Wei Fei's little finger!
The onlookers' eyes widened.
Was the finger truly chopped?
And with a kick of Wei Fei's legs, all of his feces and urine came out. He even fainted.
Wei Chi didn't say anything. He didn't mind his dirtiness and carried Wei Fei on his shoulder. The pig slaughtering knife in his hand was thrown to the ground beside him with a clanging sound.
Some of the girls who were playing with the gamblers were already screaming out in fear.
Did Wei Chi truly chop Wei Fei's finger?!
Looking at Wei Chi carrying Wei Fei, no one dared to stop him!
His gaze was very fierce.
It was typical for one to die if one came.
The Wei residence had indeed encountered a problem, but a lean camel was bigger than a horse. Was this place really going to kill Wei Chi and Wei Fei?
Kill those two at once?
Such a person didn't want to live anymore.
Which family didn't have two or three cultivators' aides? Those foundation establishment cultivators could kill them completely at will!
"Big Brother!" The thug is anxious.
"Let them go." A man with an oily face waved his hand while looking at Wei Chi's eyes with hatred.
The man also sneered.
"I want to see how long your Wei family can jump once you cannot do business with the Twelve Chain Dock!"
"The first person who will come to you is me!"
"Hahahaha!"
The casino was filled with laughter.
Wei Chi didn't answer. He carried his second brother while the people were dumbfounded. He was still holding Wei Fei's finger in his hand.
Of course.
There was also a bunch of corrupted taels of silver.
"Hehe." Wei Chi's bared his teeth. "I got the 10,000 taels of silver. These people didn't notice my speed at all."
He took advantage of the chaos to grab it from the counter.
'Since you guys dragged my second brother into the abyss, I need to get some revenge.'
Of course, the loss of the 10,000 taels of silver would surely be discovered in the end.
But it didn't matter.
Wei Chi had never taken such people seriously. He would wait until he… No, that wasn't right.
When Shen Qinghan put in some effort, he would clean up the mess for them!
The casino…
To Wei Chi, the casino in Xufu Town had harmed many people, but it was also his wealth!
...
Back at home.
Wei Chi left while Wei Fei was scolding him. His body was stinky now, and he needed to be cleaned up.
Their eldest brother, Wei Zhe, stood in front of Wei Chi and didn't say anything. Wei Zhe just went up and hugged him tightly.
Between the two men, everything was said without words. Wei Fei's hand was fine, so it was fine as long as he connected it. There was no problem if Wei Fei was a little weaker. A lasting memory was the most important thing.
Wei Chi nodded and left.
After showering, he changed his clothes. Only then did he hear that someone from the casino had come looking for him.
They said that Wei Chi stole from the casino. However, it was still the Wei residence. There were guards in the residence.
The Wei residence hadn't been destroyed yet. Was it still these people's turn to point fingers?
It was nothing.
These people could only leave ruthlessly. In the future, they would surely seek revenge!
Wei Chi didn't care.
Right now, his elder brother and father obviously couldn't do it. The Wei family matters would be led by him in the future.
It was time to see what kind of evil things would come about!
On the other hand, the immortal stones didn't recognize the taels of silver. Wei Chi entrusted his elder brother to exchange for it. When his eldest brother, Wei Zhe, saw the silver, his eyes were wide open.
He thought to himself, 'This kid's hands are really fast!'
Taels of silver were useless to Wei Chi, but to Wei Zhe, they could be easily washed clean.
Wei Zhe directly took the Wei residence's silver and gave it to Wei Chi.
He didn't even ask what Wei Chi wanted to do.
It was a total of 10,000 taels.
With 10,000 taels of silver in front of him, Wei Chi began to convert them into dao points one by one.
"Is this the feeling of happiness?"
Wei Chi felt the fire spirit energy slowly increasing in his body. He felt really good now.
He directly cashed in the Flying Lotus Array from the immortal stone. The Flying Lotus Array only cost 1000 dao points.
Wei Chi still had 9000 dao points left.
He wasn't in a hurry to use them.
Wei Chi kept the 9000 dao points, and there was no need to give them so directly from the start. This way, Shen Qinghan would inevitably be proud.
It was better to keep a low profile.
...
The next day, Wei Chi woke up in a daze, and he slightly sensed his body.
His body had already improved to the cultivation of the fifth level of the mortal realm!
This speed of increase in cultivation was incredible. Was this the cultivation of a sixth-grade fire spirit root?!
Wei Chi exclaimed, "Shen Qinghan is amazing!"
Logically speaking, this girl didn't stop cultivating for a day. Her tenacity was really strong.
Wei Chi pondered for a bit.
Thereafter, he still exchanged for a medicinal pill.
"The Origin-Absorbing Pill consumes 100 points. After consuming it, it can increase the rate of absorption of spiritual energy for a short time."
"It will last for about a day."
"I can't eat this kind of thing. I still need Shen Qinghan."
Wei Chi considered it.
He then began to meditate. After ten breaths, he opened his eyes. He had already arrived at a desolate place.
...
At the Immortal Ascension Sect.
Shen Qinghan was cultivating. Her small black face was full of sweat. Then, she opened her eyes in a daze.
When she saw that it was Wei Chi, she immediately wanted to kneel.
Wei Chi helped her up. "It's not the wedding night, why are you kneeling?"
Shen Qinghan lowered her head, full of shyness.
Why did her senior brother, the sect leader appear?
Wei Chi coughed dryly. "You're already at the fifth stage of the mortal realm now, right?"
"Yes! The sect leader has sharp eyes!" Shen Qinghan's eyes were shining.
As expected of the sect leader's senior brother, he was indeed formidable!
Wei Chi couldn't hold back his laughter.
He pinched his fingers and took out the Origin-Absorbing Pill. "Cultivate well and don't slack off. This is your reward."
"This is..." Shen Qinghan asked curiously.
"Origin-Absorbing Pill. After you swallow it, it can increase your cultivation speed within a day. It's not considered a valuable item. Outside, it's only a tael of silver," Wei Chi said casually.
He glanced at Shen Qinghan from the corner of his eye.
Shen Qinghan already covered her mouth and didn't dare to speak.
He looked again.
[Shen Qinghan is at the fifth level of the mortal realm. Sect Favorability: 90%.]
Tsk, this girl really hadn't seen anything good before, and she'd directly bought an Origin-Absorbing Pill to the ninth level.
Chapter 4: Eternal Youth
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It was true that Shen Qinghan had eaten these things before. She was deeply moved, and she didn't know what to say.
Wei Chi indicated that there was no problem.
He brought Shen Qinghan to open space.
"What did you see?" Wei Chi asked in a seemingly deep tone.
"Flowers... Grass?" Shen Qinghan blinked her eyes. She was about 12 or 13 years old. "And butterflies?"
"It's not just these."
Wei Chi formed a sword spell with his fingers and waved it in front of him twice. Then, he raised the tip of his foot and poked it with his finger.
"Change!"
A change occurred.
In fact, he had taken out the Flying Lotus Array from the immortal stone.
A depression appeared on the ground, and heavenly water fell from the sky. As Shen Qinghan was dumbfounded, a lotus flower appeared from the pond.
With a glance, the place that was initially empty had actually turned into a lotus pond!
It was so beautiful!
Shen Qinghan lay on the shore and looked at her dark little face. Her eyes were filled with shock.
Her senior brother was too…
Too amazing!
[Shen Qinghan is at the fifth level of the mortal realm. Sect Favorability: 100%.]
Wei Chi was helpless.
It was already 100%? As expected, this girl, Shen Qinghan, had a good character.
"In the future, Qinghan, you'll cultivate on the lotus leaf. This place is a blessed land, and it can increase your cultivation speed!"
"This is actually a small reward for me and you."
"If you work hard to cultivate, there'll be good things in the future."
Wei Chi patted Shen Qinghan's small head.
"Eternal youth, Han'er!"
"Eternal youth, Senior Brother Sect Leader!"
"En! You cultivate then. If you need anything, just call out to the immortal stone directly." Wei Chi gestured to the immortal stone at the center of the field.
The immortal stone was indestructible, and it could communicate with him.
Wei Chi didn't plan to use the immortal sect exhaustively in the beginning. He would use all of this first, and wait until he had enough dao points later.
Then, he would directly upgrade the immortal stones.
From the next upgrade of the immortal stones, the sect would have a great array to protect the mountain!
Wei Chi then smiled lightly. There was no need for him to stay here. Before Shen Qinghan could come back to her senses, he had already disappeared.
He left Shen Qinghan, a little girl, standing beside the lotus pond with excitement!
The water was so clear that one could see the bottom!
One could even see some fish in the water!
It was so beautiful!
If her parents could see such a good result in heaven, she would definitely be very relieved!
Shen Qinghan rubbed her tears. She was also going to cultivate obediently.
However, the senior brother of the sect leader was so mysterious. He came and left in a hurry.
In the future, she must repay the senior brother of the sect leader properly.
Next time…
Next time, she must ask the senior brother of the sect leader what his name was.
Shen Qinghan gracefully came to the lotus leaf in the lotus pond. On a large lotus leaf, she closed her eyes.
After eating the Origin-Absorbing Pill, she immediately felt her pores open.
With the help of the array formation, she had never felt so good!
That feeling…
It was really hard to forget!
If Wei Chi had been there, he would have seen Shen Qinghan's little face gradually crack. It was not because she had exploded.
It was because she was slowly changing.
The shattered black shell fell onto the lotus and disappeared. She cultivated as seriously as possible!
The ninth level of the mortal realm was the Qi refinement realm!
The thirteenth level of the Qi cultivating realm was the foundation establishment realm!
Once one had the foundation establishment realm cultivation, as long as they didn't seek death in a town like Xufu Town, there would simply be no problem!
...
Wei Chi returned to the Wei residence. His forehead was covered in sweat.
He was squatting in the pit.
He was puzzled. He didn't know if an immortal squatted in the pit or not.
It shouldn't be. He was already an immortal.
Wei Chi was also very happy now. As the saying went, one couldn't tell a person's heart from their face. But now, he knew that Shen Qinghan was absolutely reliable.
Was there anything better than this in the world?
None.
The most important thing was a bosom friend.
As the fire spirit energy bloomed in his body, Wei Chi's body became much smoother.
He had broken through again.
He directly broke through from the fifth level of the mortal realm to the sixth level of the mortal realm.
By the time Wei Chi left the toilet with a frown, he had already advanced to the seventh level of the mortal realm.
What else could Wei Chi say?
'Qinghan is really amazing and serious. When I have time in the future, I'll let her come out and walk around with me. I can't always cultivate.'
Wei Chi thought.
He had to pay attention to humane care. Although he was already very good to Shen Qinghan and the other sects didn't treat her this way, he wouldn't be so arrogant and burn the bridge after crossing the river.
He would rather have fewer people in the sect than harm the children he trusted.
"And Qinghan has the fire attribute. I will try to find some good seedlings in the future and find a junior sister to accompany her."
In a cultivation sect, cultivators had eight attributes.
Water and fire, thunder and wind, earth and wood, yin and yang.
The realm started from the mortal realm to the foundation establishment, and then to the crystal realm. Every step was difficult, and it was difficult to ascend to the blue sky.
If it was an ordinary person, then it would be very difficult to break through to the foundation establishment realm.
But Wei Chi was different. He had the help of his disciples.
If the disciples helped him, he could have the ability to get more money, and then, he could feed the disciples back.
This was a virtuous cycle.
So, Wei Chi believed that the Immortal Ascension Sect could become the number one sect in the nine regions!
And he would become a famous old sect master.
"At this moment, there are two things in front of me."
"First, I don't need too much money. I need a lot of dao points, especially to upgrade immortal stones. The first upgrade would cost me 100,000 dao points."
"Second, I need to find a new disciple. Otherwise, Qinghan would be too lonely."
Wei Chi had pondered for a while.
Someone then knocked on the door of his room.
It was his eldest brother, Wei Zhe.
Wei Zhe had a rare smile on his face. After being welcomed into the bedroom by Wei Chi, he drank a cup of tea.
"Third Brother, our second brother doesn't dare to gamble now. He just told me that he really doesn't dare to gamble next time. He asked me to come and apologize to you and forgive him once. He has an elder and a younger son," Wei Zhe said.
Both of them laughed at the same time.
"Isn't that right? Other things can be done, but this kind of thing cannot be touched," Wei Chi said with a smile.
"Yes, he probably didn't dare to go for a long time. Now the casino is very angry because of the 10,000 taels of silver. If he went there, he would be dead on the spot." Wei Zhe put down the teacup and said with a smile, "As expected of our third brother. I have indeed underestimated you. You were able to stand up at the critical moment. Otherwise, it would have been very troublesome if it was just father and me."
"No worries." Wei Chi waved his hand. "But since you're here, I have something to ask you."
"What is it?" Wei Zhe poured a cup of tea for himself and Wei Chi.
Wei Chi thanked him. He also asked, "What's the situation in the Twelve Chain Docks? I heard the people in the casino mention it yesterday. I have never cared about this kind of thing before, so I'm not sure what kind of problem our commandery is facing now."
"It's like this." Wei Zhe was very satisfied that Wei Chi was able to raise this problem. Although this problem was very difficult to solve, Wei Zhe still said, "Do you know what kind of business is held in the Wei manor?"
"It seems to be selling clothes?" Wei Chi guessed.
"Yes, our Xufu Town is a big town that produces clothes. About 10% of the clothes in the town are under our control. We sell clothes through the waterway. This is our business." Wei Zhe said, "So, the waterway is very important to us."
"En..." Wei Chi could understand.
If you want to be rich, build a road first.
The road here didn't refer to a separate road but to the route of transporting goods. Once the route of transporting goods was gone, no matter how good the goods were, they couldn't be sold. What was the use of that?
"The Twelve Chain Docks are the forces that control the water transportation. They are ten times stronger than our Wei residence, but they are also very disciplined. Originally, we had agreed on a price, and they helped us deal with it. But recently, there was a troublesome matter. The leader of the Twelve Chain Docks who worked with us was sick. He was seriously ill and poisoned. When he was not around, his subordinates began to suffer from cholera. They demanded all kinds of sky-high prices, causing us a headache." Wei Zhe was a little sad.
Wei Chi understood.
It was the same everywhere.
When people were in power, they would flatter them. If you weren't in that position one day, the dogs wouldn't even look at you.
It wasn't because you were powerful that they respected you. It was just because you occupied this pit that they respected authority.
"What kind of poison?" Wei Chi was puzzled.
"I don't know." Wei Zhe shook his head. "All the foundation establishment cultivators have come to see him, but they all shook their heads."
"Then, can I go and see him?" Wei Chi asked.
"Ahh. Do you want to go and see him now?" Wei Zhe was surprised.
"Well, let me see if I can save him," Wei Chi said. "This is very important, isn't it?"
"It is important," Wei Zhe said. "But how can you help him? Do you know medical skills, Third Brother?"
"A little," Wei Chi said calmly.
But in reality…
Of course, Wei Chi didn't.
However, immortal stones could be exchanged. After figuring out what other people's illnesses were, they could be used in exchange.
After saving the eighteenth leader, there would definitely be a lot of benefits.
It just so happened that Wei Chi had 9000 dao points. Would 9000 dao points not be enough to support a leader?
Wei Chi didn't believe it.
"Alright!" Wei Zhe thought for a moment. "Then, let's go visit him first. Even if we can't cure him, this is our last friendship."
"Alright, okay."
Wei Chi spoke with a smile.
