My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 77: Kill without Mercy (Please Subscribe)

It was that greasy-faced, round-bellied man!

He appeared with the white-browed man during the day and took away the hook-nosed man.

These three seemed to have a good relationship.

But within a day, two of them died.

"Investigate, investigate thoroughly for me!"

Another voice sounded.

This time, Chen Wuji didn't recognize it, so he didn't stay in place for long and quickly left.

He wandered along the way.

The items he obtained from searching the corpses were confirmed to have no residual aura or imprint labels.

Only then did Chen Wuji return home.

The killer was a figure dressed in black with a black sword. After the hook-nosed man and Shi Jiang were killed, they would leave a mark on the killer, but not on Chen Wuji.

In the study.

Chen Wuji placed the items he obtained from searching the corpses on the table and carefully examined them.

One of the identity plaques was set aside.

A porcelain bottle was opened and sensed for a moment, revealing over a dozen Qi Condensation pills.

Several silver bills added up to less than two hundred taels.

Finally, there were two square-shaped infant palm-sized crystals emitting a unique aura.

Chen Wuji was quite familiar with this aura and was very interested.

Heaven and Earth energy!

Using his spiritual power to sense, he confirmed that there was a pure mass of Heaven and Earth energy inside the crystals.

"Could these be energy stones?"

Chen Wuji was delighted.

When the concentration of Heaven and Earth energy reaches a certain level, it will give birth to ores like iron, coal, and salt mines.

These ores are mined and cut into uniformly sized energy stones.

Most energy stones can be directly absorbed and refined into True Qi to enhance cultivation.

It is said that in the state capital and some special occasions, energy stones are the currency, and gold, silver, and jewelry are not accepted at all.

"It seems that energy stones are also divided into grades, based on the purity, content, and texture of the contained energy, they are classified as Low Grade, Middle Grade, and High Grade."

"These two energy stones have good purity, but the content is not full, so they should be Low Grade."

"Without any manuals, picking up two Low Grade spirit stones for free is not bad."

Chen Wuji played with the spirit stones, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

White Water County has never had energy stones due to its thin energy concentration.

Finally, he encountered them today.

[AFK End]

[Your progress in "Bronze Elephant Body" is +95+86+72+65+81+66+68]

Buzz!

His brain slightly trembled.

Chen Wuji delved deeper into his understanding and comprehension of "Bronze Elephant Body" until he fully mastered it and achieved perfect integration.

During this month, while protecting his disciples, Chen Wuji did not stop cultivating himself.

He AFKed "Bronze Elephant Body" to temper his Body Refining and enhance his physical defense.

Although "Bronze Elephant Body" has the word "elephant" in it, Chen Wuji discovered during his cultivation that it does not develop the limbs of a person into a robust state.

Instead, it focuses on tempering internal muscles, blood vessels, tendons, and internal organs, undergoing qualitative changes.

Realizing this, Chen Wuji practiced with peace of mind. Although some people like muscular men, he didn't.

Since his main focus was protecting his disciples, Chen Wuji didn't spend much time cultivating "Bronze Elephant Body".

After a month, he only achieved a small level of proficiency.

Chen Wuji's appearance didn't change, but his muscles became tighter, and his strength and blood energy doubled.

Now that he had achieved mastery in the technique, Chen Wuji sat in the study, repeatedly practicing the refining steps of "Bronze Elephant Body" over and over again.

When it was almost dawn, the energy remaining from the Ascending Cloud Good Fortune Pill in his body was completely absorbed and transformed.

The transformation brought about by "Bronze Elephant Body" to his physique deepened once again.

...

Half of the morning.

Nan Jinyu finished consolidating her realm and came to find Chen Wuji.

Chen Wuji immediately passed her the "Dragon Gate Primordial Origin Technique".

"I'm passing this technique to you. It can accommodate most attribute powers, so you don't need to rush to solidify your form during cultivation. Before you find your own True Qi attribute, you can condense Primordial Origin True Qi like me."

"Disciple understands," Nan Jinyu responded.

"Very well," Chen Wuji nodded, took out the secret manual of the "Entangling Silk Hand," and handed it to Nan Jinyu. "This martial art is very helpful for the initial control of True Qi. While you are practicing the 'Dragon Gate Primordial Origin Technique,' you can also try to familiarize yourself with it. If you have any questions, be sure to come to me."

"Yes, Master!" Nan Jinyu respectfully replied.

Taking the manual, Nan Jinyu left the room.

The "Entangling Silk Hand" is a martial art that controls True Qi and transforms it into silk threads. It is extremely beneficial for training in the manipulation of True Qi. Chen Wuji himself tried to practice it and gained quite a bit from it.

However, all these martial arts were obtained through robbery and theft by the Black Wind Gang.

The source cannot be controlled.

Once exposed, it is full of unknowns.

However, leaving them unpracticed is not what Chen Wuji would do.

It's not like the "Wind Dragon Leg," which is Zhao Kongchuang's famous skill.

Looking at it from a different perspective.

The person who can steal the manual from the Black Wind Gang is probably not very powerful.

If they practice it, so be it.

At worst, when they really need to take action, they can kill with one strike.

Thinking of this, Chen Wuji stabilized his mind and did not stop Nan Jinyu.

During this time, all seven disciples stayed in their rooms to practice and their collective cultivation improved rapidly.

Once exposed, it would inevitably cause a sensation, and there would be no shortage of people spying.

But relying on the forces in White Water County and Linjiang County, who would dare to reach out? They would be chopped off.

Kill a few people, destroy a few forces.

Ensure that they stay honest. What happened in the past will continue to happen in the future.

What Chen Wuji truly feared was Shi Jiang and the group of people with hooked noses.

All of them were at the True Qi Realm.

Their specific intentions for coming to White Water were unclear.

As long as these people didn't leave, they would be a threat every day.

From this perspective, it seemed like the killer with the black aura and black sword was naturally on Chen Wuji's side?

...

Night.

Chen Wuji sat cross-legged on the rooftop, his spiritual power expanded, listening to all directions.

Suddenly, under the cover of night, the sound of a fight came again.

Whoosh!

Chen Wuji's figure flickered and disappeared from the original spot.

His aura converged to the extreme, and his body moved in an instant, transforming into a burly man.

Following the direction of the sound, he flew all the way.

Soon, Chen Wuji once again saw the figure of the killer with the black aura and black sword, fighting against two people.

One of them was none other than the greasy-faced, round-bellied man!

"Did he bring a companion this time to deal with the killer?" Chen Wuji hid in the shadows, observing from a distance.

He watched as the two men at the True Qi Realm, around the fourth or fifth layer, besieged the figure with the black aura and black sword.

But the situation on the scene did not favor the two men.

The figure with the black aura and black sword had a fierce killing move, and the black aura surrounding his body seemed to have a defensive effect.

Facing the joint attack of the two, this figure, who specialized in killing with a sword, became more and more frenzied in his moves.

He attacked without defending.

The companion of the greasy-faced man was the first to have his head chopped off by a sword.

Then, amidst the shocked and angry shouts of the greasy-faced man, his body suddenly stiffened.

In the next moment—

"Splurt!"

Blood splattered, and sword energy tore through the air.

Amidst the surging energy, the figure with the black aura and black sword didn't even spare a glance at the greasy-faced man whose body slid down, quickly turned around, and swiftly disappeared into the darkness.

He ran away again!
