Eternal Reverence - Chapter 68

Chapter 68
The news of Li Fuchen inflicting a serious injury to Qing Shaoyu in one punch, spread like a wildfire on the plains . It was broadcasted throughout the sect with no restraints .

Gasps were heard all over as the news travelled .

It was originally thought that prodigies had a faster progress and Li Fuchen had used up all his talent .

But no one ever thought that Li Fuchen’s progress would have been even faster .

To be able to defeat Qing Shaoyu in one punch; his overall ability would have to at least be able to attain top 10 in the Tower of Tribulations .

All those gossips and rumors weren’t a bother to Li Fuchen . Whenever he had free time, he would go fishing at Cang Lan Lake .

In the past few months, since he redeemed 60 dragon tiger pills, his contribution points balance left, was 29,500 .

During the process of cultivating the Interception Form Dao, he would visit Cang Lan Lake occasionally . As such, his contribution points had once again reached 90,000 .

But after redeeming his second batch of 60 dragon tiger pills, Li Fuchen’s contribution points were wiped clean .

Thus, for the next two months, Li Fuchen intended to spend time at Cang Lan Lake .

Cultivating and fishing all at the same time .

8500 kg… 9000… 9500… 10,000 kg

With just a week before the outer sect tournament, Li Fuchen finally attained completion of second rank in the Interception Form Dao .

His physical strength had now reached the 10,000 kg class .

In fact, 60 dragon tiger pills weren’t enough to bring the Interception Form Dao to the completion of the second rank .

And Li Fuchen didn’t have anymore contribution points to redeem more dragon tiger pills .

But Cang Lan Lake had nothing but an abundance of treasure fishes .

For the past few days, Li Fuchen would consume several first tier and second tier treasure fishes .

A first tier treasure fish cost 100 points per kilo and ten kilos would be 1000 points . Eating a first tier treasure fish was not much different than consuming one dragon tiger pill .

Second tier fishes were 1000 points per kilo and eating one was equivalent to several dragon tiger pills .

As his physical strength reached 10,000 kg, Li Fuchen’s body weight drastically shot up to 80 kg . Every inch of his body was unimaginably durable and tough .

Standing at 1 . 75 meters, Li Fuchen didn’t seem all that muscular and remained lean looking . Even if anyone were to stare closely, he looked 65 kg at most and looked to be slightly stronger than before .

‘A body refinement technique isn’t something anyone can cultivate . The amount of resources spent to achieve this body of strength, should probably be around 600,000 gold coins . ’

Li Fuchen felt moved .

The journey from a few hundred kilos of physical strength to 10,000 kg now, Li Fuchen had consumed a total of 500 body tempering pills, 120 dragon tiger pills, and an unknown amount of treasure fishes . In terms of contribution points, it would be around 300,000 and converting that into gold coins, that would be around 600,000 .


Actually, 600,000 gold coins was already the best price . In the outside world, rare pills like body tempering pills were always marked up and sold at inflated prices .

As such, it wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that a clan would have to go bankrupt in order to nurture a 10,000 kg martial artist . Even a major clan like the Li Clan would need to think of all possible methods just to be able to do so .



This was just 10,000 kg of physical strength . Had it been 20, 50, or 100 thousand, who knows how much more resources would be required .

But the most important point was that, as one’s physical strength increases, regular resources weren’t of any use anymore .

What Li Fuchen can only use now, is the high-tier, yellow class, dragon tiger pills . But once his Interception Form Dao reached the full completion stage, he would need peak-tier, yellow class body tempering pills .

Peak-tier, yellow class body tempering pills cost 10,000 points per pill, which meant that it was 20,000 gold coins .

Li Fuchen would get a headache everytime he thought about it .

‘I wonder what is the highest grade pill within the sect . ’

Even though the way of body refinement technique is an extremely difficult path… and with every 10,000 individuals only 1 would reach the end stages…

Nevertheless, Li Fuchen would never abandon this path .

He believed in his own ability of acquiring enough resources, and with enough resources, the way of body refinement techniques can be continued .

***

Due to consuming too many first tier and second tier treasure fishes, tLi Fuchen’s harvest for the past two months wasn’t huge . After submitting them to the task hall, he only got a total of 4000 contribution points .

This was the first time that the task elder saw Li Fuchen receiving so little points . He felt relief and thought: ‘So this kid still screws up sometimes . ’

On the way back to his courtyard, Li Fuchen saw a scene which shocked him .

The Wu Qingmei who got close with Shang Guan Hong, was actually walking together with a youth who had a tough and stocky build .

If he guessed it right, this youth should be the top of the 10 Prodigies, first ranked in the Tower of Tribulations – Yu Wen Tian .



The outer sect’s only 5 star bone frame .

Li Fuchen thought: ‘This Wu Qingmei sure isn’t simple!’

He couldn’t be bothered with other people’s affairs . Retracing his sight, he wanted to leave .

Nobody expected for Yu Wen Tian to sight Li Fuchen too, he then stopped him, “Li Fuchen . Hold on . ”

Li Fuchen asked: “What’s the matter?”

Yu Wen Tian replied: “I am Yu Wen Tian . You should know my name . Would you be interested in becoming one of my subordinates? Don’t worry, I will not ask for anything from you, it is purely my way of appreciating you . ”

(TL note: I only realised at this point that Yu Wen Tian’s family name is Yu Wen . Just like Shen Tu and Shang Guan)

Li Fuchen rebutted, “I am just a normal bone frame, I do not have any value to you . ”

Yu Wen Tian laughed, “Potential may be important, but the results of the current juncture is important too . Putting hopes on one’s potential is just a coward’s behaviour . You who are able to display the power of a prodigy, shows you aren’t just any ordinary person . ”

Li Fuchen shook his head, “I am indeed very happy that you have such high praises for me . But I will not be a subordinate of anyone . ”

Wu Qingmei who stood beside Yu Wen Tian tried to convince him, “Li Fuchen, you best reconsider . Yu Wen shige has 5 star bone frame . The things he redeem within the sect are all sold at a flat 30% price . If you were to become his subordinate, you would definitely have a better time in the future . ”

In the Cang Lan Sect, grades were treated with utmost importance . Outer sect disciples are graded into: 3rd grade, 2nd grade, and 1st grade . Beyond the 1st grade are the prodigies .

Even though prodigies are also 1st grade outer sect disciples, they could redeem items in the sect for 50% of the price .

Yu Wen Tian who is at the top of the prodigies and is also the only 5 star bone frame disciple, is only required to redeem items at 30% of the price .



Li Fuchen was obviously envious, but he would never agree to become a subordinate of anyone and thus, he rejected Yu Wen Tian .

Looking at the back of Li Fuchen, Wu Qingmei said, “He sure is ignorant . ”

Yu Wen Tian didn’t mind: “Doesn’t matter, I am just curious about him and want to know him better . ”

As the ‘king’ of the outer sect disciples, he didn’t put anyone in his sight and naturally wouldn’t get angry over this .

From a far distance, a figure was rushing towards Wu Qingmei .

“Wu shimei, if you change your heart now, I can still forgive you . ”

The one who rushed here was Shang Guan Hong, he had on an mournful expression .

Wu Qingmei indifferently replied, “Shang Guan shixiong, I have never like you before . So what is this change of heart you are talking about?”

“Wu shimei, don’t lie to me . If you didn’t like me, why were you so close with me in the beginning?” Shang Guan Hong shook his head, it was obvious he felt heart broken .

Wu Qingmei said, “I only treated you like a friend, please don’t overthink it . ”

“Wu shimei, you are so heartless . The reason why you abandoned me, isn’t it because he is stronger and better than me?” Shang Guan Hong pointed at Yu Wen Tian .

Yu Wen Tian remained calm: “Shang Guan Hong, pestering is a foolish behaviour . Since Wu shimei says she doesn’t like you, you better give up . ”

“Yu Wen Tian, wait and see . One day, I will defeat you . ”

Shang Guan Hong glared at Yu Wen Tian and Wu Qingmei, then left in anger .

“This world has too many bothersome people . ” Yu Wen Tian shook his head .
