Chapter 32 Harvest
"Regeneration? Does that mean you can be reborn after you die?"
Chen Qiyuan was overjoyed, but he quickly calmed down. A low-grade spiritual root certainly wouldn't have such heaven-defying effects.
Most likely, they will recover from serious injuries, just like Wu Tianhuan.
The numbers that follow should indicate the number of regenerations.
Of course, these are all just his guesses; he would never actually cut himself to test it out.
In any case, this was an unexpected surprise.
At this moment, Pang Guoyong, having burned the scourge of the Blood Spirit Mushroom, put aside his last worry and said to him, "Junior brother, from now on, the Wu Family Martial Arts School is in your hands."
"No."
Chen Qiyuan resolutely refused, "Although Wu Tianhuan said in name that he wanted to take me as his disciple, he did not actually become his disciple. I am still young and do not want to be bound by the martial arts school."
Seeing how direct he was, Pang Guoyong couldn't force him to continue, and could only sigh, "Everyone has their own ambitions."
"Besides, my third senior brother's dying wish was for you to keep the martial arts school running, so it should be handed over to you."
Pang Guoyong glanced at him and immediately understood what he meant.
Although he did not acknowledge Wu Tianhuan as his disciple, he still addressed him as his senior brother, clearly indicating that he still valued their relationship as fellow disciples.
"Senior brother is seriously injured, you should go and rest. I'll go check on senior sister."
"it is good."
Then Pang Guoyong remembered something and reminded her, "It's best not to let her know about tonight's events."
No matter what, Wu Tianhuan was her maternal grandfather. If she knew that her grandfather had done such a cruel thing to her fellow disciples, and that Pang Guoyong had personally cut off Wu Tianhuan's head, she probably wouldn't be able to accept it.
"I see."
Chen Qiyuan agreed and returned to his small courtyard. The courtyard, which had just experienced a major battle, was in a mess. Wen Zhenzhen was lying on the ground, but she was unharmed.
He ran into the inner room and found Er Ya fast asleep on the bed. Despite all the commotion outside, she hadn't woken up.
This was probably Wen Zhenzhen's doing. She probably didn't want her to hear her cousin being criticized by his fellow disciples, so she gave her sleeping pills or something.
It's good that everyone is alright.
Relieved, Chen Qiyuan carried Wen Zhenzhen back to bed, where she lay down next to Er Ya.
After doing all this, he went to Wu Tianhuan's place again, searched around for a while, and finally found a hidden compartment.
"I knew it. A cunning old fox like him would never pass on all his martial arts skills to his disciple."
Chen Qiyuan took the item out of the hidden compartment.
There were several bottles of elixirs and several secret manuals.
"Mountain Lord's Suppressing Fist", "Phantom Steps", "Eight Forms of Slaying the Mountain".
He glanced through them; they were all advanced martial arts techniques from "Tiger Form Fist," "Stealth Step," and "Hundred Refinements Saber Technique." These were exactly what he needed right now.
In addition, there is a scroll with a painting of a mountain, which looks quite impressionistic.
He glanced at it a few times, but couldn't see anything particularly special about the painting.
However, something that could be hidden in the secret compartment by Wu Tianhuan must be something extraordinary.
Chen Qiyuan put them all away and then went to find Pang Guoyong.
……
Pang Guoyong was bandaging his wounds in the room when he saw the things Chen Qiyuan had brought. He took out one of the bottles of pills and said, "These are for treating injuries. The other two bottles are Marrow Cleansing Pills, which can enhance the power of martial artists in the Marrow Refining Realm."
Chen Qiyuan said, "Perfect, one bottle each. I'll study these manuals first, and then I'll give them to you. As for this scroll..."
There's only one picture, so it's a bit difficult to distinguish.
Pang Guoyong said nonchalantly, "If you like it, keep it. I don't need it anyway."
"it is good."
Chen Qiyuan admired his senior brother for his noble character and integrity.
…………
The next day, when Wen Zhenzhen woke up and learned of the dramatic changes that had taken place the night before, she almost fainted on the spot.
Her master and two junior brothers were killed by Guo Yongchang. Her tenth senior brother killed Guo Yongchang at the cost of losing an arm.
Losing her only family member and two junior brothers overnight is far too cruel for a girl who is not even twenty years old.
Actually, Chen Qiyuan felt that this lie might not be able to fool her. After all, she had overheard Pang Guoyong and Wu Tianhuan's confrontation last night, and they were almost at each other's throats.
However, judging from Wen Zhenzhen's behavior, she accepted this explanation and almost fainted from crying in Pang Guoyong's arms while observing mourning.
Perhaps because the truth was too cruel, she preferred to believe that the murderer was Guo Yongchang.
As for Chen Qiyuan, he took Er Ya and went back to his hometown to pick up his aunt.
He had no intention of observing mourning for Wu Tianhuan, so he made up an excuse to leave Nan'an City.
Chen Qiyuan's hometown is a small mountain village dozens of miles away from Nan'an City, called Chenligou. As the name suggests, the village is mainly inhabited by people with the surnames Chen and Li.
His grandparents had passed away long ago, and his father and aunt had relied on each other since childhood. That's why Chen's father went to the Luo family to become a live-in son-in-law.
The Chen family's ancestral home is gone. Chen Xiaoling was too young to remember where her parents' graves were when she left.
There's nothing to miss about a place like this.
After picking up Chen Xiaoling and Sanya, Chen Qiyuan didn't stay overnight and went straight back to Nan'an City.
The three women were reunited and so moved that they hugged each other and cried.
Er Ya went to work as a maid for the Bai family out of necessity. Now that Wang Dawei is dead and Chen Qiyuan has mastered martial arts, those hellish days are gone forever.
Upon returning to Nan'an City, Chen Qiyuan spent several days settling his aunt and the others in.
He didn't take her back to the Wu Family Martial Arts School, naturally out of concern for the Ironclad Sect. He hadn't forgotten his promise to Steward Lin to help with the martial arts competition.
However, now that he has broken through to the Marrow Refining Realm, he naturally cannot participate in the competition. Although he has already sent a letter to explain.
However, it's hard to say how Deacon Lin will react.
So he rented a house in the east of the city for his aunt and the others to live in. This wasn't Ironclad Gate's territory, so he figured Steward Lin's influence wouldn't extend that far.
……
When Chen Qiyuan returned to the martial arts school after settling his aunt and daughter in, the funeral had already been completed.
Upon entering the training ground, it was found to be extremely deserted, with only seven or eight students practicing, all of them looking dejected, like wilted eggplants.
He found it a bit strange. Although Wu Tianhuan was dead and Pang Guoyong only had one hand left, he was still a master of the Marrow Refining Realm, enough to support the martial arts school.
"Senior Brother Chen is back."
"Senior Brother Chen, I thought you weren't coming anymore..."
The students were excited when they saw him and surrounded him.
Chen Qiyuan asked, "Why are there only a few of you? Where is the others?"
The group looked at each other awkwardly, remaining silent.
He frowned and asked, "Where is Senior Brother Pang?"
"It was done by people from Zhenguang Martial Arts School."
At that moment, a man walked in from outside the martial arts school; it was Liu Shijie.
"Zhenguang Martial Arts School?"
Chen Qiyuan immediately understood.
Zhenguang Martial Arts School and Wu's Martial Arts School are the closest to each other and are rivals in the same industry. People from the two schools have never gotten along well.
However, both sides have remained relatively restrained, and there has been no overt conflict.
But now the situation is different. Wu Tianhuan is dead, leaving only the crippled Pang Guoyong. For Zhenguang Martial Arts School, this is a godsend.
Once the Wu family martial arts school is destroyed, this large territory will belong to Zhenguang martial arts school.
Chen Qiyuan asked, "Senior Brother Liu, what exactly happened?"
Liu Shijie said, "Let's go over there and talk."
The two walked to the side, and Liu Shijie then explained the whole story.
It turned out that on the day of Wu Tianhuan's funeral, the master of Zhenguang Martial Arts School brought a group of disciples to the school, ostensibly to pay their respects, but in reality to show off.
