《Path of Perfection Immortal》 Chapter 1 - Seventh Young Master is Gone Seventh Young Master is Gone ¡°Trash, Come Out!¡± a youth said laughing around. He came outside a small courtyard, his mood was good today and decided to make fun around with his favorite target. ¡°Brother Yue, I think he became deaf with previous beating. We should knock the door.¡± said a tall youth who was beside the one called brother Yue said it laughing out loud. They were all around age of 12, they are carrying a strong aura of practitioners. Chen Yue ¡°Yes, you should knock the door. Do it bit gently.¡± he said with a smug face.All the surrounding youths were laughing. ¡°Yes. Young Master Yue.¡± said with a broad smile and prepared himself to kick the door. When the feet touched the door and it broke open shattering the door. Chen Yue ¡± He didn¡¯t hear the knock.¡± he said laughing, there was a bit of surprise in his eyes. Hearing the breaking of door people from the surroundings gathered around to know what is happening. Seeing Chen Yue and his gang there, everyone understood what is happening. One of the servants in background spoke with other in a low voice ¡°It is Young Master Yue! No surprise there!¡± . One of the new servants asked the first servant ¡°What is happening? Why did young master Yue come to outer courtyard?¡± The first servant laughed and spoke ¡°You are new here so you don¡¯t know about it. It is a normal thing here.¡± Servant ¡°Who lives in that courtyard.¡± he asked surprised. That particular courtyard is located near the servant quarters. It is the only courtyard there. ¡°That courtyard, it belongs to young master Qi.¡± ¡°Young master Qi?¡± he looked confused hearing this. ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised. Yes, he is indeed the son of City Lord. City lords seventh son.¡± ¡°Oh! I have never heard of him. I heard about all other young masters, but Young Master Qi. Why does he live here in servant quarters.¡± To this question other one didn¡¯t respond. Everyone,else know the reason behind it. ¡°Seventh Young Masters mother is of lower origins, her family belonged to normal farmers.¡± He didn¡¯t speak much but everyone understood what its meaning is. City lord of Chen city married 4 woman in total. Chen Qi¡¯s mother is last of them. City Lord liked her and married her despite the status difference. It was objected by other family members. She died couple of months after giving birth of Chen Qi. From then on Chen Qi was all alone. Even though he has a status of being young master, there was no one to support him or take care of him. He was subtly being suppressed by the other Ladies and young masters. Death of Chen Qi¡¯s mother created a barrier between Chen Qi and his father. City Lord loved his commoner wife , he was very happy about her pregnancy and child. But when Chen Qi was born lady got seriously ill and slowly succumbed to death. Chen Qi has never seen his father closely. Every time he saw him was from distance as servants see the lord. ¡°Where did that Trash go?¡± suddenly they heard the sound from the courtyard. Everyone were surprised hearing this. ¡°Young Master Yue, that trash is not here. He must have gone outside.¡± Young Master Yue ¡°Hmm! Where can he go, he will comeback here. Then I will have my fun.¡± saying that Young Master Yue and his lackeys left the yard. Chen Yue called for one of the servants ¡°Let me know immediately after he comes back.¡± Servant ¡°Yes, Young master, I will personally stand guard here.¡± he said trying to gain a favor from Young Master Yue. That servant who was instructed by Chen Yue was standing there in the courtyard as a guard. Slowly everyone left that place. Few looked at the servant with disdain few gave a envious look. A week passed by and yet the servant was waiting outside the courtyard , he was agitated and confused. Because in all this week he didn¡¯t see Young Master Qi. He felt something was wrong. He didn¡¯t dare to go inside the courtyard. Even though Young Master Qi was suppressed, he is still the son of city lord, he will always be greater than him. He decided to inform Chen Yue about it. Chen Yue ¡°Congrats Elder Brother. You are the greatest genius of our family. Reaching 6 stage Qi Gathering by the age of 13. Even in Qi Province there should be less than 10 who could do that.¡± Chen Yue said flattering to the tall man before him. Even though he is 13 years old he is around 6 feet tall and his body was very sturdy and athletic. His name is Chen Mo, he is the eldest son of City Lord. He is born to the first lady. Chen Mo and Chen Yue are blood siblings. Chen Mo ¡°Little brother, you should also concentrate on cultivation. I heard Sister Qin is already at 2nd stage she will be able to catch up to you soon.¡± Chen Yue ¡°Who cares about them, even if they can beat me they can never beat you.¡± he said with a pride in his face, laughing loud. Chen Mo ¡°2nd sister also reached 5th stage few months back. She will catch up to me.¡± he said with a serious face. Chen Yue ¡°But, she just have an average affinity with water, but brother you have good affinity with Earth Attribute.¡± Just as they were discussing about other siblings, they were interrupted by the the servant. Seeing that servant Chen Yue suddenly remembered about Chen Qi. Chen Yue ¡°What are you doing here? I told you to let me know when that trash comes. Did he come back now.¡± he said laughing out. That servant was bit scared. It was good that Chen Yue is in good mood. Servant was scared but slowly responded ¡°Young Master Yue, Young Master Qi hasn¡¯t returned yet.¡± Chen Yue was puzzled hearing this, even Chen Mo who was standing there confused. Chen Yue ¡°You are saying that Chen Yue didn¡¯t come home from that day.¡± Servant ¡°Yes, Young Master. There was no trace of him at all.¡± Chen Mo ¡°What is happening?¡± Chen Yue ¡°It is nothing big brother. I just left a dog at Chen Qi. He is not home all week.¡± Hearing the name of Chen Qi , Chen Mo lot interest. He never bothered about Chen Qi, he never considered him in first place. Chen Yue ¡°You stay there and watch out for him. Let me know when he comes back.¡± the news of his brother breaking through was priority over that trash. Soon another week passed and that servant was very scared as there was no news of Young Master Qi again. ¡°Young Master Qi is missing.¡± he was clear now. Something happened to him. Chapter 2 - Chen Yang Chen Yang He know something was not right, he wanted to let others know, but no one took it seriously. First no one though Chen Qi was important, even though he is young master, his status is lowest. He is not a cultivator, nor he has a background. He was considered trash by everyone. Even the twins born after him get more attention than him. They are already at first Qi gathering stage. No one knows about Chen Qi. Soon another week passed and the City Lord mansion was in celebratory mood. There was a congratulatory Banquet for Chen Mo for reaching the 6th Qi Gathering stage. Whole City Lord mansion was filled with lights and there were many guests coming from Chen City four big families and there are few guests from the surrounding cities too. ¡°City Lord is truly blessed by heavens, his eldest son is already at the 6th Qi Gathering Stage and eldest daughter is peak of 5th stage, she will soon break through to 6th stage.¡± ¡°True. Reaching 6th stage before 14, how many geniuses can do that in Qi province. They can be counted in two hands .¡± Chen Yang was very happy hearing the praises on his kids. Chen Yang ¡°Brother Zhou, you must be joking. Your girl Fen is no less than Yan¡¯er , she is also a step away.¡± Patriarch Zhou ¡°True . But that step is key. How many can achieve that one step.¡± Patriarch Ling ¡°But she is capable girl. I heard she has a good affinity with fire attribute.¡± Patriarch Zhou ¡°True that Lass has good affinity with fire.¡± said with pride. As all of them were involved in celebrations. Patriarch Fen was looking at all the kids gathered around. Chen Mo was at the center of the hall meeting all the guests and chatting with his peers. Chen Yue was following his brother meeting few new friends. Chen Ming, eldest daughter of City lord was sitting in the corner seeing the attention her brother is getting. She is neither happy nor sad, she is hiding her emotions clearly. She is three months younger than Chen Mo, her talent is no lesser than Chen Mo but she can¡¯t much change the time she cultivated. Also, being in the male dominated society , her resources and attention are always lesser than Chen Mo. She was not bothered by this. She was looking at Lady Xia who was greeting everyone happily. Why will she not be happy her son is star of tonight. Chen Ming ¡°Mother, what are you planning to do?¡± Ling Min ¡°What can we do? They have gained a significant advantage in this. I can try to not make much damage for us and wait for time.¡± Chen Ming ¡°Tian¡¯er and twins are also good we have numbers.¡± Ling Min is second wife of Chen Yang and she is mother of four of City Lord¡¯s kids. Chen Ming, Chen Tian (4th), Chen Lin and Chen Lan twins (8th and 9th.) Shen Xue ¡°Both Chen Mo and Chen Yue have great talents, only Ming¡¯er and Tan¡¯er are capable of rivalling them.¡± even though we have numbers but , we don¡¯t have edge. Chen Mo, Chen Ming, Chen Tan, Chen Tian, Chen Yue, Chen Po, Chen Qi, Chen Lin and Chen Lan. They are divided to two factions one by Zhou families support and other by Ling and Shen family support. As the banquet was about to finish. City Lord ¡°Patriarch Fen you seem bit distracted . Is there anything bothering you?¡± Patriarch Fen ¡°It is nothing. It looked like something was missing. It must be affect of wine.¡± City Lord was confused hearing this ¡°Missing?¡± Patriarch ¡°It is just my imagination.¡± he responded politely. Patriarch Fen ¡°City lord you have 6 sons right?¡± he suddenly asked looking confused. City Lord understood what is missing now. He looked around the hall but he didn¡¯t find the thing he was looking for. Every previous banquet some where in the some corner there would be an incident or two of bullying and some issue. But, it is not there today. Fen family hated Chen Qi the most, Patriarch Fen wanted to marry his sister to Chen Yang . but City Lord married a commoner and that crisis, caused Fen family plans to evaporate. They hated the woman Nin Ning for this. When she died their hatred shifted to her son. So, fen family children actively participated in bullying Chen Qi. Everyone knew about it except well City Lord. That news was suppressed mostly. But in banquet. City lord ignored this as it was matter between kids. Chen Yang was surprised not seeing Chen Qi today. All the times he saw Chen Qi after death of his mother was only in banquets, Where Chen Qi is forced to attend as the young master giving others a chance to mock him. Chen Yang ¡® That kid probably hid himself in the courtyard fearing bullying.¡¯ Chen Yang found Chen Tan nearby and asked him about Chen Qi. Chen Tan ¡°Father, seventh brother didn¡¯t attend the banquet. ¡± He responded politely. Chen Po ¡°Father, I guess he didn¡¯t come to save his face. He didn¡¯t make any progrss in cultivation. He must have been scared to face others.¡± said jovially. Steward Wu ¡°Check on that brat. ¡± He said to Steward. Chen Yang also ignored it after that. Almost t the time of midnight everyone started dispersing and there were very few guests in the hall. Steward Wu slowly walked to the City Lord. Chen Yang could sense sweat in Steward Wu¡¯s forehead and understood something is wrong. He also understood the severity as Steward Wu is coming directly to him in middle of banquet. Chen Yang ¡°What happened ? You seem nervous?¡± Steward Wu didn¡¯t know how to respond but slowly said ¡°City Lord, Young Master Qi has not been home for over three weeks.¡± he said , there was fear in his eyes. He didn¡¯t dare say a word more or word less. Chen Yang¡¯s brows twitched hearing this. Chapter 3 - Azure Sky Boundary Azure Sky Boundary Chen Yang ¡°Wasn¡¯t home in three weeks? Where did he go?¡± Steward Wu ¡°City Lord, after your ordered I sent a servant to find Young Master. The servant found that there was already a servant waiting for Seventh Young master outside his court yard, who have been waiting for him past three weeks on order of fifth Young Master. There was no news of him in this three weeks. He tried to contact others but the news got ignored.¡± He spoke everything he knew. Everyone near by heard this and were bit confused. Chen Yue who was near by came to city lord and spoke ¡°Father I went to meet seventh brother and didn¡¯t find him there , so I asked a servant to let me know when he comes back.¡± Chen Yang facial expressions didn¡¯t change much. His heart was beating very fast hearing this. Chen Yang ¡°I will look into this after banquet.¡± he spoke in dignified expression. Chen Yang immediately went to his own courtyard silently. Everyone understood something big is going on. City Lord ¡°Steward Wu, inquire deeper into this. Find every information related to Qi¡¯er. Meet all his friends and acquintances. I want to know everything by morning.¡± City Lord sat on his chair , his heart was beating very fast. His heart is telling something big is happening. Even though he didn¡¯t had much contact with Chen Qi, he is his son after all. He is son of his most beloved woman. Even though he blamed him for her death and didn¡¯t see him much as son. He is still his son. His heart was screaming crisis now. He remembered that lean and gentle face he saw in last banquet. He was just 9 year old. He face looked more like his mother and his eyes were more like him. There were only 6 instances he saw him. Never met him. Whole mansion was in chaos after that. Steward Wu along with few loyal servants dispersed from mansion trying to find everything about Young Master. It was already morning and there was no news about Chen Qi yet and City Lord decided to intervene himself. He slowly walked towards the north west courtyard that was allocated to Chen Qi. There were over dozen guards following him. When he entered the courtyard he saw a youth there. Chen Yang ¡°Chen Rou what are you doing here in Qi¡¯er¡¯s courtyard.¡± Chen Rou was on of his nephews . Chen family is a big family. There are over 50 direct descendants. The huge family has more than thousand people combining main branch and branch families. Chen Rou ¡°Chen Rou met uncle. Uncle this courtyard was allotted to me after my spiritual root test.¡± he said confused. Chen Yang clearly remembered giving the north west courtyard to Chen Qi.He did it personally. Even though it was in corner of mansion , but it was spacious one and free from noices and pollutions, very near to garden. It can be considered as one of best rooms available. He choose is specially for Chen Qi. Immediatly a steward came and reported to City Lord. ¡°City Lord, when we were entertaining guest of Nie family , Young Master volunteered to change his courtyard for guests. After that this courtyard was allotted to Young Master Rou.¡± When Chen Yang heard this he was furious. He understood what ¡® Volunteer¡¯ here means. He is forced out of his courtyard. Nie family, city lords of Nie city at the center of Qi province. Their visit it has been over three years. City Lord was furious but did not breakout he wanted to find in depth about it ¡°Where is Qi¡¯ers courtyard?¡± servant didn¡¯t dare to delay and lead way to Chen Qi¡¯s courtyard. When Chen Yang saw Chen Qi¡¯s courtyard his heart was bleeding, it is a courtyard in servant quarters. Even lowest of branch families have a better courtyard than this.His fury was raising hot.He is his own son and his treatment is worse than that of a branch family. Equal to servants. Seeing City Lord coming all the servants in the surroundings gathered there. That servant was still standing guard at courtyard. Chen Yang ¡°When is the last time you saw Qi¡¯er?¡± Servant ¡°Lord, before four weeks, I delivered ,a couple recovery pill to Young Master.¡± Chen Yang ¡°Recovery Pills? Why?¡± Servant ¡°I heard , Young master had a duel with someone and was beaten miserably. Young Master Po asked us to get medicine pills to him.¡± Chen Yang ¡°How serious were injuries?¡± Servant ¡± His right arm was dislocated. He lost lot of blood. He would be able to recover in a week with pills. None of the injuries were life threatening.¡± Chen Yang ¡°How often does this happen?¡± Servant was silent and didn¡¯t respond to this.¡± We don¡¯t know lord. Young master hardly comes in contact with others.¡± Chen Yang ¡°How many times did you personally deliver medicines to him.¡± Servant ¡°Five times my lord.¡± Chen Yang ¡°Which medicine?¡± Servant ¡°Recovery medicine , standard issue.¡± Chen Yang¡¯s heart was bleeding hearing this. That standard issue medicines were for commoners and servants. No one is Chen family use them. He is Chen families Young Master he should get Revival Pills which can heal such injuries in a day . Chen Yang ¡°Who sends him food and all?¡± Servant ¡°Young master prepares them himself my Lord.¡± Chen Yang then entered inside the courtyard and found everything neatly arranged. There was dust every where as it was not maintained for around a month. When Chen Yang entered the cooking area and the food items and stocks were left there as they were. His heart was aching seeing everything Even the steward who was following city lord felt a heart ache. He was personal steward of City Lord he used to take care of all things of City Lord so he didn¡¯t have much idea on what is happening outside. He understood what kind of life was young master living. Chen Yang left courtyard and went to the main hall , where all the medicines and rations were allotted to everyone. Chen Yang ¡°Steward Ma ,I want the register of this months allowances.¡± Chen Yang didn¡¯t ask him he just took the book before him and started skimming through this. Chen Yang ¡°Steward Ma, what are the allowances Qi¡¯er receives. Steward Ma was scared but responded ¡°Young Master should receive 200 gold coins a month, Ten Qi pills and 5 body tempering pills.¡± Chen Yang looking at register frowned. Chen Yang ¡°It has been a month since Qi¡¯er is missing and you noted that he took this months allowances this month. If that is so, you should be the last person Qi¡¯er met.¡± Hearing this Steward Ma was thunder struck. His heart skipped the beat and his back was already covered in sweat. Immediately he fell on the floor kneeling and begging forgiveness. Chen Yang didn¡¯t bother and just kicked him. Guards already surrounded him and took him to custody. Chen Yang ¡°Don¡¯t expect you can escape punishment. Tell me what is happening and I may try to lessen it.¡± his voice was very calm but everyone understood, he already reached tipping point. Steward Ma ¡°Lord, I did everything on orders of Zhou Man.¡± Chen Yang ¡°I thought it is city lord mansion, I didn¡¯t know it is changed to Zhou family.¡± Chen Yang ¡°What are Chen Qi¡¯s allowances? What did you do to the rest?¡± Steward Ma ¡°5 gold coins.¡± he said he knew he is going to die for sure. Chen Yang ¡°What happened to his resources?¡± Steward Ma didn¡¯t respond to it directly but he knew he will have to answer it. Steward Ma ¡°They were distributed to other young masters.¡± Chen Yang ¡°Great. What is salary of servants in outer yard?¡± Steward Ma was dumbstruck hearing this question. Chen Yang called for a servant and asked him the same. Servant ¡°Sir, we receive, 3 gold coins every month.¡± Chen Yang ¡°I didn¡¯t know my bloodline is just above a servant.¡± he said laughing out loud. Chen Yang ¡°Pills?¡± Steward Ma was silent and didn¡¯t respond. Chen Yang didn¡¯t spoke anything and walked away from there. Guards took Steward Ma into custody. Chen Yang next destination was Martial Hall, where cultivation techniques, martial skills and treasures are located. The news of Chen Qi missing already spread out across the city. Steward Wu already completed part of investigation. Chen Yang ¡°Elder Lu, what is Chen Qi¡¯s cultivation technique?¡± he asked directly without wasting another word. Elder Lu already understood he is doomed today. Elder Lu was already kneeling on the ground. His face was pale and shen hearing this. Chen Yang was already skimming through the registration book. He already expected it. Elder Lu ¡°Young Master Qi didn¡¯t receive any cultivation Technique from Martial Hall, My Lord.¡± Chen Yang ¡± Why?¡± Elder Lu ¡°Young Master¡¯s spiritual root didn¡¯t have any attribute and and.¡± He know it was just an excuse. With or without Spiritual root Chen Qi being son of City lord was supposed to receive an High Grade Yellow cultivation Technique. At the least he should have gotten a middle grade technique. Chen Yang ¡°Oh! Just because he didn¡¯t have any attribute, he was made to give up his chance to cultivate.¡± Chen Yang even doubted whether his spiritual root test was proper or not. Chen Yang ¡± I need the Water Film recording of Qi¡¯ers spiritual root test. Just as Chen Yang spoke that Elder Lu and other Martial Hall elders rushed to get the recordings. Steward Wu came at the right time. His face was pale and colorless. Seeing him Chen Yang already understood news was not good. Chen Yang ¡°Is he alive?¡± Chen Yang spoke bringing up all his strength. Steward Wu ¡°We don¡¯t know city lord. But..¡± Chen Yang ¡°What happened?¡± Steward Wu ¡°Childe Qi didn¡¯t go missing. ¡± Chen Yang hearing this felt relieved but seeing expressions of Steward Wu, he understood things are not as simple as he said. Steward Wu ¡°Young Master Qi left Chen City by himself.¡± Chen Yang ¡°Was he forced to go? Did some one threaten him to leave city?¡± Steward Wu has tears in his eyes. ¡°No City Lord. He was planning to leave city for long time.¡± Chen Yang ¡°What is happening?¡± Steward Wu ¡°City Lord. There are very few in the city who know about the existence of Young Master Qi. For past three years young master worked as a helper in Mo families weapon store. He worked as an apprentice there and was learning about forging all kinds of weapons. In two and half years he is already capable of forging all kinds of common grade weapons.He is already considered a grade 1 weapon smith.¡± Steward Wu ¡°He also worked at Mo families and apprenticed himself to Pill Refiner Qin, from him I got to know that Young Master Qi is a super genius , he could learn anything seeing it just once. If he practices and Fire attributed cultivation technique and form a fire, He would directly jump to becoming a Grade 1 alchemist.¡± Chen Yang ¡°He was a genius then. Does Mo family have anything to do with it.¡± Steward Wu ¡°No City lord. They were shocked knowing he is young master of Chen family.¡± Chen Yang ¡°And?¡± Steward Wu ¡°For past three years , there are three places where Young master was found frequently.¡± Chen Yang ¡°What is third place?¡± Steward Wu ¡°City Library. He spent most of the time in the library, it is even rumored that there is no book in the library that young master didn¡¯t touch. Including the cultivation techniques and martial skills.¡± Chen Yang has released all low grade techniques and skills to the city library so that even commoners get a chance to cultivate. This move of his caused a revolution in the province and was slowly adopted by every city in the province. This improved the number of cultivators by 300%increasing the forces of Chen City to face beast tides. Even though they are just low grade cultivation techniques they allow a person to reach till Qi Refining stage. Which is more than enough for them to roam freely in Qi province without fearing the beasts. Steward Wu ¡°Three weeks ago, Mo family blacksmith told me that, Young master borrowed the store for three nights continuously and he left fourth day morning. He was carrying a strange looking thing on his back. It looked like a bag but very different from normal ones. Steward Wu ¡± He spent around 300KGs of Red Iron in this four days. There was no wastage my lord.¡± Steward Wu ¡°He also bought large amount of ingredients and pills from pill house.¡± Chen Yang ¡°Where did he get all the money from? All the allowances he got from family are still lying in his courtyard.¡± Steward Wu didn¡¯t have to answer that question, Chen Qi worked part time in three places saving every penny for this. Chen Yang ¡°And?¡± Steward Wu ¡°His last sighting was in north port where he brought a fishing boat from an old fisher man.¡± Chen Yang almost collapsed on ground hearing this. Steward Wu ¡°The probable location he left for is , Azure Sky Boundary.¡± Chen Yang ¡°Did he also buy a set of new clothes and left the old ones by the bank.¡± Steward Wu didn¡¯t reply but answer was clear to everyone who heard this. Chen Yang ¡°He severed all ties with Chen family. He don¡¯t owe a thing that belongs to Chen family.¡± His heart was aching as he said that. He has no attachments to Chen family. Chapter 4 - Xuan Long Xuan Long Elder Lu who was hearing this also understood what is happening, they understood they went very far this time. Elder Lu was holding a small ball in his hands his hands were no longer shivering, he was ready for his punishments. Chen Yang ¡°Inquire what happened three years ago, it all started then. It is three years before that everything changed. From three years he didn¡¯t touch a coin from mansion. Three years before he started his plans.¡± Elder Lu who was there spoke taking all the courage ¡± City Lord, three years ago young master requested us to grant a cultivation technique and martial technique. But, we denied him permission. We told him he need to get permission from you to cultivate. That week we got visitors from Nie family. We don¡¯t know what happened later, that time Young master was made to vacate his courtyard. from then on we never saw young master Qi again.¡± Steward Wu ¡°City Lord, Young Master Qi requested for a meeting with you then.¡± Chen Yang ¡°I rejected it.¡± Chen Yang spoke dejected. Steward Wu ¡°City Lord you were busy that period of time hosting Nie family lord.¡± Chen Yang ¡°How many times has Qi¡¯er requested a meeting with me before?¡± Steward Wu ¡°That was the only time.¡± even his voice was breaking saying this. Chen Yang ¡°I want to know everything that happened at that time. Everything. You can use any methods at your disposal. Any method. Chen Yang ¡°He was just 6 year old. Just 6 year old.¡± Steward Wu ¡°I will personally see it happen city lord.¡± Chen Yang ¡°Do you find any information on his cultivation?¡± Steward Wu ¡°City Lord, according to elder at library, young master has a photogenic memory. He can remember anything once he sees it. Almost every book, cultivation technique and martial technique in library is read by young master, so he could have chosen any of those techniques. From over 326 cultivation techniques,1653 martial techniques. Any one.¡± there was a certain pride in his eyes saying this. Chen Yang ¡°They are all low grade techniques what use of hundred of them.¡± Chen Yang grabbed the ball from Elder Lu and sent his qi into it to see it. Chen Yang ¡°Is there anything else I need to know.¡± Steward Wu ¡°Xuan Long.It is the name he used in all three places to hide his identity.¡± Chen Yang ¡°Xuan Long. Immortal Dragon. He is not even using the name ¡­ No I never named him, Every just called him Qi because he was 7th born.¡± His heart even ached more, he didn¡¯t even name his son. Qi was the name he got by birth order. Just as Chen Yang watched the ball he dropped it all of a sudden, his face filled with horror. Steward Wu ¡°City lord what happened.¡± he asked in panic. Chen Yang ¡°Who is that idiot who conducted Spiritual Root test of Chen¡­. Xuan Long.¡± Every one were surprised hearing this, it is one thing for Chen Qi to use a proxy name but for City Lord to call him the same. Elder Lu ¡°It was great Elder Wen who was in charge of spiritual root test. Chen Yang ¡°Summon him immediately.¡± Chen Yang then subconsciously moved towards the courtyard of Chen Qi. He entered the court yard , this court yard is nothing less than hell for him. Every step hear is weighing more than a mountain for him. On the living room there were few books lying there. Except them there was nothing else. All the allowances supplies given to Chen Qi for three years are lying there on the bed. All his clothes old and new everything is in this room. Chen Yang slowly opened the first book and was surprised to see a cultivation technique there. He slowly went through this. By the time he finished reading this his heart trembled and sweat formed on his forhead and even his back was covered in sweat. This cultivation technique , is names Buck beak Technique , but it is not a new technique , it was created using the careful and accurate study of 7 low level techniques of wind attribute. He created a complete new level profound technique using them . This technique can be considered a middle Profound level technique. Techniques were divided to yellow,profound, earth,sky,heaven. In the city lord mansion highest level cultivation technique was a high rank yellow technique. There were four such techniques. Chen Qi was able to fuse seven techniques and create a middle profound technique. What kind of monster is he, what kind of monster did he give birth to. Chen Yang looked at last page and saw what is written there ¡®You will see me again only if your practice this.¡¯ he traced every word of it. Chen Yang checked second book, it was a wind attribute sword martial technique. Third Book was a cultivation technique of water attribute it was similarly combined by 7 low level techniques. This technique was named Rainbow Horse Technique. Fourth book was a martial technique of water attribute. Fifth book was a cultivation technique of Wood attribute and there was a corresponding sword technique. Chen Yang was feeling heavy in his heart seeing this six books. This books can change the face of Chen family. Chen Yang ¡°Call every from main family here, elders, great elders , all kids too.¡± Steward Wu immediately went away. It took almost another hour for every one to gather in the small courtyard. Chen Ming ¡°Father did you find anything about 7th brother.¡± there was a bit of concern in her face. Everyone understood that this meeting is definitely regarding Chen Qi. Chen Yang looked at everyone¡¯s faces and there was a disdain in his face. Chen Yang ¡°Great Elder Wen. Are you the one who conducted spiritual Root test on seventh Young Master.¡± Great Elder Wen ¡°Yes. City Lord. I was responsible for the test that day.¡± Chen Yang ¡°What do you have to say about that?¡± Great Elder Wen was confident ¡°Chen Qi has week spiritual root with no attribute. His achievements in cultivation would be very low.¡± there was no doubt in him at all. Chen Yang ¡°Great. Elder Wen I am relieving you of your position , you are no more Great Elder of Chen family. Take him into custody. Before, don¡¯t forget to cripple his cultivation.¡± He said calmly and steadily. Everyone were horrified hearing what Chen Yang spoke. There was deadly silence in the courtyard. Chen Yang was looking at the other elders ¡°Why are you not taking action yet.¡± Hearing this immediately an elder beside Elder Wen took action , another elder crippled his cultivation. Elder Wen was confused too hearing this and was lying on ground in pain. Elder Wen ¡°City Lord , I don¡¯t understand the reason for punishment. I have never intentionally harmed young master Qi. I am true to my judgement.¡± Chen Yang ¡°I am doing this to punish your incompetence. His spiritual root is heaven grade all attributed spiritual root. He can practice any attribute he likes. This is like million times better than spiritual root of Mo¡¯er.¡± When everyone heard this there was a cold sweat on their face. Million times better. Chen Mo has a grave expression on his face. Elder Wen understood what is happening and didn¡¯t say a word more. He understood the consequences of his action. Chen Mo ¡°What happened to seventh brother?¡± he asked confused. He understood the threat of Chen Qi now, if he is allowed to cultivate , he will be a peerless genius. He can¡¯t let that happen. Chen Yang ¡°He left Chen family.¡± he said calmly. Everyone were shocked hearing this. Chen Mo ¡°He betrayed our family? ¡± Chen Yang ¡°There is lot of difference in both.¡± Chen Yang ¡°I want everyone among you who ever plotted against seventh Young master to come to Central Hall tomorrow and confess your crimes tomorrow morning. I will forget about punishing you. I will be investigating everything related to him if I found later, my punishments will be very severe. he said in calm tone but everyone understood the depth in it. Just as everyone were about to leave. Chen Yang ¡°Ming¡¯er how is your relation with yiur seventh brother.¡± Chen Ming was confused at this question ¡°Father there were never any issues between us. I never involved myself to bully him. I restrained Tian¡¯er and others from doing so. ¡± Chen Yang ¡°Xuan Long left these two books for you. Take a look.¡± Chen Ming was confused hearing the name Xuan Long but yet took both books and studied them and was shocked seeing this. Chen Mo ¡°Father who is Xuan Long?¡± Chen Yang ¡°Your seventh brother named himself Xuan Long seperating himself from Chen family.¡± Chen Mo ¡± Father you are calling him using that name he ..¡± Chen Yang ¡°I never named him as a father, he never held a name. So what is wronf if he named himself.¡± his words were resolute. Chen Ming who was holding the book almost collapsed on the ground. Chen Ming ¡°Father is it really , profound level cultivation technique?¡± Chen Yang ¡°It should be. It is several times more powerful than the techniques we have.¡± Chen Yang ¡°Can you tell me why he left this one for you.¡± Chen Ming turned to last page and there were tears in her eyes. One of the elders was confused and asked ¡°City Lord what are these books.¡± Chen Yang ¡°These are 6 profound level cultivation techniques and 8 martial techniques created by Xuan Long as a farewell gift for me.¡± Hearing this everyone were in cold sweat. Chen Yang ¡°There are cultivation techniques for Wind, Water,Fire, Earth , Wood, Metal and 8 martial techniques are sword techniques for all attributes and two spear techniques for Fire and Wind attribute.¡± Chen Yang didn¡¯t hide anything. He wanted to let them know what kind of existence they offended. Everyone are happy hearing this, Chen family got 6 profound level techniques, this will help them increase their power by a lot. Chen family will definitely become more powerful using them. Chen Ming was still kneeling on the floor crying. Chen Yang ¡°Ming¡¯er why did Xuan Long left that technique for you. He thanked you in the end. What happened.¡± Chapter 5 - Azure Dragon Sect Azure Dragon Sect ¡± Little Xuan are you really going to participate in the sect entrance?¡± Xuan Long ¡°You already asked this question many times.¡± ¡± I don¡¯t want you to go to the Azure dragon sect. That place is filled with arrogant bastards.¡± said a fat man looking at the skinny youth before him. Xuan Long didn¡¯t know hot to respond to it, he curved his lips and decided to respond to him patiently ¡°We need someone to check their arrogance. Fatty you already know it is not in my hands. My god father made a special request to me to join this sect.¡± Fatty ¡°Your god father! He is another of that jerks , when ever he comes something bad happens. I have seen this for two years. There was always some incident whenever he comes.¡± Xuan Long burst to laughter hearing this ¡°He comes when trouble comes to solve them, not the other way round.¡± in his mind he was just amused at this fatties banter. If any others in this village got to know that Fatty is cursing Long Bao such a way, he would be lynched by them. But it is good that fatty don¡¯t know about the world of cultivators. He is pure and without malice. Xuan Long was living with him for past two years. He is a good brother for him but he lack foundation and talent to become a cultivator. He just runs an inn in the town peacefully. He understood what Fatty is going through. They have been brothers for last two years, but with Xuan Long going to Azure dragon Sect he will miss his best friend and will be alone again. Fatty ¡± Why do you always support him that way? He never did anything to you. All he does is bully you whenever he comes.¡± Xuan Long ¡°That is actually called sparring.¡± Fatty ¡°What ever? Don¡¯t go.¡±he asked pleadingly ¡°Everything is peaceful here. Our inn is also doing very good. You know I heard that Zhao family is trying to rope you as their son in law. If you marry Zhao Yin , you will have worry free life. I heard, she is most beautiful girl in surrounding ten villages.¡± Fatty said trying to tempt Xuan Long with beauty as a bait. Hearing this Xuan Long was struck in panic. Why, well only he knows the reason. Xuan Long ¡°I am not sure about that. If I really marry her, I can¡¯t estimate the consequences. They would bring a disaster here.¡± Xuan Long said laughing out loud. Fatty was confused hearing this, ¡°What Disaster ?¡± Xuan Long chuckled ¡°It is not time yet. God father would be coming here to pick me up now. If he hear what you said. He will make a bone soup out of you.¡± Hearing that Fatty was terrified. ¡°Your god father is coming?¡± Long Bao ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I come? It is such a important event.¡± Fatty ¡°Lord Bai,I didn¡¯t say anything. It is Xuan Long who is interested in Zhao Yin.¡± Long Bao just frowned his brows and Fatty was already sweating. Long Bao ¡°Hmm. Go bring her here. I will see what is so great about her. Most beautiful girl in surrounding villages.¡± Fatty was dumbfounded hearing this. Xuan Long ¡°Go an prepare my luggage.¡± Fatty just slipped away from there without making a sound. Both looked at him amused as he sneaked away, bursting into laughter after he was away from their sight. Long Bao ¡°¡±?re you prepared?¡± Xuan Long just nodded his head. Long Bao ¡°You have to be careful in the sect. You are sensible kid . You know how to behave.¡± Long Bao ¡°¡± What cultivation are you preparing to show them? You can¡¯t show your cultivation of 7th stage Qi Refining at the entrance. It will cause complete chaos.¡± Xuan Long ¡± Who are the other geniuses participating.¡± Long Bao ¡± Huang family is sending little white there, Feng Xi is coming. All families are sending their geniuses for this time.¡± Long Bao ¡°I suggest you just show cultivation of 1st stage. This can still put you in top geniuses. Also, it will avoid major troubles. There are already few disciples of Long family with same cultivation. ¡± Xuan Long ¡°Will i represent Long Family?¡± asked confused. Long Bao ¡°No, you will be representing yourself this time. You will have no connection with Long family directly. All the core disciples of Long family know you , they will also maintain it same way. If you have any trouble contact Long Feng.¡± Xuan Long ¡°OK. About Attribute?¡± Long Bao ¡°Attribute? What were you planning?¡± Xuan Long ¡± Among three, Ice, Lightning and Fire. Ice and Lightning will bring lot of attention they are very rare. I think fire would be best choice. I can also practice alchemy and weapon making.¡± Long Bao ¡°Good choice. Be careful.¡± Long Bao ¡± There would be total of 76 long family members joining the sect. 16 core disciples and 60 outer and inner disciples.You know all the core disciples, ignore others. Ten of them have cultivation of 1st Qi refining, other five have 2nd stage and one fourth stage.¡± Long Bao ¡°Take care of them in secret. You can attract as much attention you deem necessary.¡± Xuan Long ¡°God father you don¡¯t need to say to me.¡± As he spoke Fatty came there dragging a huge package. It was too heavy for him to lift. Well that bag was looking different from the packages used there. But any one from modern earth would recognize it. It looks exactly like thee military backpacks used by para special forces. Xuan Long simply lifted it with one hand started carrying it on his shoulders. Long Bai ¡°Its time to leave.¡±saying that Long Bao held Xuan long by his shoulder and then they both disappeared from there. Fatty was dumbstruck seeing this but then curved his lips smiling hiding the pain in his eyes. His only friend in this world is gone again.
