I Have A Qi Fortune Altar

Chapter 158: Chapter 150: Phoenix Marrow Enters the Body, Qi Absorption Pinnacle! (Added for Nurse Dafang)_2

If she were caught making a small move, the moment the Phoenix Marrow Energy was extracted might be the day she lost her life.

In fact, even now, Shen Yanshu didn’t know how Chen Yuan would treat her after he took away the Phoenix Marrow Energy—whether she would be safe and sound or… he would kill her to silence her!

In Chen Yuan’s eyes, she could feel the cold harshness; he had little regard for her, seeing her merely as a tool.

Now, all she could do was hope that Chen Yuan would keep his word and honor his promises.

Before long, the Phoenix Marrow Energy had been mobilized by Shen Yanshu to her chest area, the immense force causing a fine sweat to break out on her forehead, and she felt a sense of pressure.

This power she had nourished for over two decades was tightly linked to her, almost merging into one. Now, to hastily extract it, it naturally wouldn’t be as effortless as the others.

But the more this was the case, the greater the power meant, and the greater the benefit it would be to Chen Yuan, the Gang Leader.

Chen Yuan’s pupils shimmered with a green glow, sensing the location of the Phoenix Marrow Energy, and soon… the Phoenix Marrow Energy traveled through his meridians to his head.

This was the location where the consumption was most immense.

Shen Yanshu’s face was now drenched in sweat, her loosely hanging hair strands forming tight braids.

Her eyes widened; the critical moment had arrived.

Suddenly.

The fiery red Phoenix Marrow Energy was successfully absorbed by Chen Yuan; in the void, the flow of energy moved like a phoenix, flowing gently.

Chen Yuan’s Supreme Mysterious Scripture Technique ran wildly, and through his right arm, he absorbed the fiery red stream of energy into his body.

As it entered him for the first time, Chen Yuan felt a scorching breath moving along his meridians, and it seemed as if between moments, he could hear the sound of a phoenix’s cry.

Fiery red brilliance was continuously drawn out from the top of Shen Yanshu’s head.

After a short while, the Phoenix Marrow Energy was completely extracted by Chen Yuan, and she collapsed onto the bed unsteadily, her clothes soaked through with sweat, faintly revealing contents not allowed to be written in novels.

Shen Yanshu gasped for air, and after turning her gaze, she stared intently at Chen Yuan.

The fiery red light seemed to illuminate Chen Yuan’s body, and combined with his handsome face, he seemed exceptionally eerie.

Chen Yuan closed his eyes and controlled the force as it wandered through his meridians; his body coated with golden paint momentarily turned his flesh into a gold-like appearance.

Vajra Glaze Body!

Chen Yuan felt that without the formidable physical strength of the Vajra Glaze Body, the scorching Phoenix Marrow Energy could even burn his skin.

Gradually, the unruly Phoenix Marrow Energy was tamed by him and obediently settled in his Dantian, occupying a substantial portion and clashing with the True Qi Vortex he had cultivated.

He frowned, having thought it would directly boost his cultivation. It seemed he needed to find a quiet place to transform it into True Qi cultivation; currently, it was merely temporarily stored in his Dantian.

Thinking this, his frowning brows relaxed, as the transformation wouldn’t take much time, just a few hours would suffice.

And this type of transformation of power wouldn’t make it unstable.

Opening his eyes, Chen Yuan happened to meet Shen Yanshu’s gaze. After a moment of silence, a light smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he asked,

“What does it feel like to have the Phoenix Marrow Energy leave your body?”

Shen Yanshu pondered for a few breaths and said,

“A sensation… a sensation of being drawn out.”

Chen Yuan: “???”

A sense of being drawn out…

It sounded somewhat indecent, but on second thought, it seemed quite so indeed.

It was very clear from Shen Yanshu’s current state, drenched in sweat.

“Brother Chen, the Phoenix Marrow Energy is now yours,” Shen Yanshu said with a light in her eyes and a smile touched by an unusual emotion.

“That is my due.”

“True,” Shen Yanshu didn’t argue.

Chen Yuan had killed Bei Le for her, resolved the trouble for the Shen Family, and even took on the pressure from Bei Haisheng; this indeed was his due.

“Actually, I would very much like to befriend Brother Chen,” Shen Yanshu said with a serious expression.

With extraordinary talent, Chen Yuan now also possessed a high position. Befriending him had no downsides and would benefit the Shen Family, as well as herself.

Walking in Jianghu, the influence of the Shen Family was negligible; she still needed to rely on her efforts to gain the friendship of some people.

“Coincidentally, I too like making friends,” replied Chen Yuan.

Shen Yanshu possessed a Phoenix Marrow Spiritual Body, and once she made a breakthrough in Qi Absorption, her cultivation speed would skyrocket, making her a true genius.

Since it was no loss to him, Chen Yuan didn’t mind.

Shen Yanshu stood up from the bed, reached for a robe to drape over herself, and poured a cup of tea for Chen Yuan, asking,

“Brother Chen, do you mind that I am a woman?”

This world, after all, still somewhat favored males over females.

Women in this world are only fit to bear children, to please men…

Consequently, their status is much lower.

“There are also many famous women in Jianghu. As long as they have talent, women do not necessarily lose to men.” This statement was indeed true. At the founding of the nation, women could hold up half the sky,

but sadly, afterwards….

Shen Yanshu looked at Chen Yuan with great surprise and a touch of astonishment, seemingly not expecting such words to come from him.

“Brother Chen, your nobility is impressive!”

She felt somewhat admiring.

In Chen Yuan’s mind, he thought, you’re the one who is ‘noble’ here.

“If there’s ever anything you need from Yanshu, just say the word. As long as I am capable, I will not refuse,” she said very seriously.

“The same goes for you, but there will be a price.”

Asking for his help was fine, as long as it brought him some benefit.

In the end, his relationship with Shen Yanshu was not that good, it was merely an exchange of interests.

“Agreed.”

“These days, that old ghost Bei Haisheng probably won’t let things go easily. Your Shen Family should be more careful and not make a fuss. As for me, I may not necessarily be his match right now.”

Chen Yuan made a point of warning her.

Shen Yanshu nodded. She naturally understood this reasoning.

As for the matter of the marriage agreement, it’s also best not to bring it up proactively. It’s best to leave it as is by default, otherwise it might provoke Bei Haisheng’s anger toward them.

“Miss Shen, you should rest well. Chen bids his farewell.”

Chen Yuan smiled, put his black ghost mask back on his face, turned around, pushed open the door, and disappeared into the vast night.

What was most important for him now was to transform that Phoenix Marrow Energy into cultivation strength!

Watching Chen Yuan’s departing figure, Shen Yanshu remained silent.

This time, she had finally gotten past this calamity, and she, too, could now concentrate on preparing for her breakthrough.

After all, she had already reached Bone Refining Cultivation.

As she pondered, Shen Yanshu suddenly paused, recalling Chen Yuan’s words, “I may not necessarily be a match for Bei Haisheng right now.”

What did that mean?

Not necessarily…

It meant that he had some confidence to withstand Bei Haisheng.

Indeed, daring to kill Bei Le publicly and making an enemy of Bei Haisheng, Chen Yuan had some cards up his sleeve!

…

…

City East.

Inside the room where Chen Yuan lived.

After leaving the Shen Family, he hurried back home with incredible speed, sealed the door, lit a candle, and sat cross-legged on the bed, concentrating and calming his breath.

He adjusted his Qi to the highest level.

Before long, he breathed out deeply, his eyes shining with brilliance.

The time had come!

The Supreme Mysterious Scripture Technique was activated, with bits of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy fiercely rushing towards his body. Dozens and hundreds of acupoints on his body continuously absorbed the Primordial Energy, converting it…

Within the Dantian, the True Qi Vortex slowly turned and expanded, gradually enveloping the Phoenix Marrow Energy.

Upon the first collision, the scorching Phoenix Marrow Energy suddenly burst forth, spreading throughout Chen Yuan’s limbs and bones, refining his internal organs, while the Supreme Mysterious Scripture Technique also began gradually absorbing that vast Spiritual Energy.

No techniques were involved, purely transformation.

A night without words.

At dawn the next day when the first rays of sunlight shone upon Chen Yuan’s body, he suddenly opened his eyes, glittering with sharpness, his body enveloped in a powerful aura.

Within the Dantian, a colossal Qi Vortex filled the entire space.

This meant that over the course of one night, Chen Yuan had reached the peak of Qi Absorption!
