Battling Records of the Chosen One

29. Five Elements Opening

Shiao Tianren stopped dissuading Lin Xun finally. When Lin Xun made his decision, he began to consider how to summon the villagers to excavate the fire copper.

However, Lin Xun blurted, "Uncle Shiao, mining is not that urgent. We should eliminate the hidden perils first before releasing the good news."

Hidden perils?

Shiao Tianren was a little confused and then he came to understand with severe expression on his face. Yes, since Lin Xun killed Lu Ting and Qian Qi, when Lian Rufeng and his gang came back, they would never let it go at that.

It was not hard to predict.

However, for Feiyun Village, Lian Rufeng and his gang were a huge threat.

Shiao Tianren had sensed Lian Rufeng and his men were planning to turn against the village.

If they returned as planned, Lin Xun, as well as all villagers, would be threatened and suffer terribly.

Shiao Tianren asked frowning, "Lin Xun, what do you think are we supposed to do then?"

With the cultivation at the fourth level of Martial Realm, Lian Rufeng was strong. What was worse, followed by other guardians, the villagers could hardly fight against them.

Pondering for a while, Lin Xun asked, "Uncle Shiao, I need to know the villagers' view of Lian Rufeng and his men. After all, they are members of the village. We have to consider the villagers' opinion before taking any action."

It was certainly an issue. Though Lian Rufeng and his men became arrogant and even feathered their own nests, if no one delivered the goods for trading, the living of Feiyun villagers would be unsustainable.

In other words, if the villagers would like to survive, they had to rely on Lian Rufeng and his men.

That was the reason why Lian Rufeng and his men were so haughty.

Musing for a while, Shiao Tianren answered with obvious hatred, "As Lian Rufeng and the guardians come back with fewer and fewer goods and materials, the villagers have been discontented with them. However, they have to bear it for living."

Then he sighed, "What matters now is who can head to the Green-sun Tribe for the trade when Lian Rufeng and the guardians are gone."

Hearing this, Lin Xun relaxed and grinned, "Don't worry, it's really easy. I can take care of that after Lian Rufeng and his men are gone."

Shiao Tianren was refreshed and then inquired, "Lin Xun, what're your odds of success to kill Lian Rufeng?"

Lin Xun didn't answer the question directly, he smiled and answered, "Uncle Shiao, just rest assured and leave it to me."

There were a glimmer of smile and calmness on his delicate and fair face. Under the bright sunlight, he was so confident that Shiao Tianren was relieved and convinced. With no more hesitation, Shiao Tianren said decisively, "Let's do this then."

...

Lin Xun sat alone by the desk at night, looking at the dense stars and being lost in his thought.

Now his wounds had been repaired and the cultivation would not be impeded. -Furthermore, he now had this Heaven-accessing Place in his sea of consciousness, which improved his confidence to cultivate greatly.

Under such a situation, it seemed there was no reason to stay at Feiyun Village.

"When I help Feiyun Village solve their worries, it's time to go...Master Lu, who on earth took away my Spiritual Vein that year? Where is he now?"

Lin Xun knew he was abandoned. As an orphan, he never expected to find out his parents.

However, what Master Lu said before parting made him wonder whether he could get some clues of his parents if he found out the man who ripped away his Spiritual Vein.

Of course, he was not eager to look for his parents; he just wanted to figure out why that man ripped away his Spiritual Vein.

It nearly killed him, and even he survived, cultivation was nearly impossible for him. How could he not hate that man?

He would take revenge, definitely!

Even Master Lu didn't ask him to do it, Lin Xun would find that man and get the answer

Why?

Why did you take away my Spiritual Vein?

Meditating for a long time, Lin Xun inhaled deeply and sealed his hatred in the heart. Having grown up in that dark and bloody mine prison, he understood it was never easy to take revenge.

Besides, Lin Xun knew nothing except the man was in Ziyao Empire by what Master Lu said. How could he take revenge?

What was his name? What did he look like? What about his status or cultivation? Without any details of all this, it was really hard to figure it out in the vast territory of Ziyao Empire.

However, Lin Xun was in no hurry. He was always patient. One day, he would get the answer!

Of course, he must survive in Ziyao Empire and become stronger and stronger at first.

...

Lin Xun lived calmly after killing Qian Qi and Lu Ting. He spent all his time cultivating and teaching the kids to practice Marching Boxing.

Three days passed.

The spiritual grains were ripe, so all villagers started reaping them round the clock happily.

At the same day, Lin Xun finally broke through the second level and reached Viscera Opening, the third level of Martial Realm after two years' retention.

It happened naturally as if a cup had been full of tea, so the superfluous liquid spilled out.

This indicated Lin Xun's foundation of cultivation was so vigorous and solid. He was outstanding and far beyond his peers.

Viscera Opening meant to open the meridians of the five internal organs. They were liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney, which corresponded to five elements named wood, fire, earth, metal and water respectively.

So the level was also known as Five Elements Opening.

When a practitioner reached this level, he could guide the spiritual energy to revolve around the five internal organs, washing them and nourishing the meridians again and again.

At Qi Guiding, the first level of Martial Realm, one would guide the spiritual energy to loop for nine times.

At Inner Strong, the second level, the spiritual energy would circulate eighteen times in the body.

At Viscera Opening, the third level, thirty-six times!

The frequency of circulation indicated the vigorousness and endurance of spiritual energy.

No matter what, Lin Xun got a breakthrough after two years!

It was such a pleasure as if he had gained a second chance to live. He knew as long as he persisted, someday, he would be as strong as that mysterious figure, who could rip the blue sky, shake the universe and breach the portal to stars!
