Chapter 30

"Master Chuxun, you're here too."

"Oh, these ferocious beasts are truly terrifying, but fortunately, Young Master Chufeng arrived in time, otherwise it would be unimaginable."

Seeing Chuxun, several miners, full of fear, ran over.

"Oh?" At this moment, Chuxun realized that there were nine ferocious beasts in total: five first-stage beasts, three second-stage beasts, and one third-stage beast.

These ferocious beasts were nothing to him, but he felt that Chufeng would not be able to handle them. Could it be that Chufeng had already reached the fourth level of Spirit Martial?

But even if Chufeng had the strength of the fourth level of Spirit Martial, it would be impossible for him to deal with so many ferocious beasts in such a short time.

"Chuxun, thank you."

Just as Chuxun was puzzled, Chufeng smiled at him, and there was a genuine hint of gratitude in his smile.

At this moment, Chuxun was completely stunned. A faint sense of unease began to spread in his heart, and without thinking, he quickly walked towards the mine.

"Young Master Chufeng, did you kill all these ferocious beasts?" Uncle Zhang looked at the lifeless ferocious beasts, feeling incredulous.

He had clearly heard that Chufeng was a waste, having stayed at the second level of Martial Cultivation for many years. Even if he had now entered the inner sect of the Azure Dragon Sect, he would at most be at the third level of Martial Cultivation. How could he kill so many ferocious beasts so quickly?

"Or what?" Chufeng put away his smile and looked at Uncle Zhang. There was no longer any kindness in his eyes, but rather a coldness.

"Nothing... nothing... I was just asking casually." Uncle Zhang was frightened by Chufeng's gaze and took several steps back, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"Uncle Zhang, you've been with the Chu family for so many years, how can you become so muddled as you get older?"

"Remember, as a servant, ask what you should ask, and don't ask what you shouldn't. Do what you should do, and don't do what you shouldn't... best not to do it."

Chufeng's words were full of meaning, scaring Uncle Zhang so much that his face turned pale, and he couldn't speak for a moment, but his body was already trembling.

Seeing him like this, Chufeng sneered, which further confirmed his suspicions.

"Young Master Chufeng, what should we do with these ferocious beasts? Should we send them back to the Chu residence?" Several dozen miners gathered around.

"A few ferocious beasts, no need to disturb the people at the residence. You can take them home and eat the meat." Chufeng waved his hand indifferently and then walked towards the Chu residence.

"Thank you, Young Master Chufeng." The miners were overjoyed. Ferocious beasts were rare treasures that could be used for cultivation. Although their skin was as hard as iron, their meat was fresh and delicious. It was said that eating them not only strengthened the body but also extended life. They were valuable treasures.

But such precious ferocious beasts, Chufeng actually gave to them. How could they not be happy, especially after seeing Chufeng kill all the ferocious beasts with his bare hands in the blink of an eye. The miners revered Chufeng even more.

Near the mine, Chuxun arrived at the place where he had previously discovered the ferocious beasts. After making sure no one was around, he walked to a large tree, leaped up, and when he landed, he had a wooden box with small holes in his hand.

"Master was right. This thing can attract ferocious beasts, but the beasts can't find it. It's a good tool for luring and killing ferocious beasts."

"But to attract ferocious beasts from deep in the mountains, besides a Spirit Pearl, ordinary spirit medicines can't do it."

As he spoke, Chuxun opened the wooden box. However, when the box was opened, his face changed instantly. He was shocked to find that the wooden box, which should have contained the Spirit Pearl, was empty.

"How could this be? Where is the Spirit Pearl?" Chuxun plopped down on the ground, his face pale and devoid of color.

Although the wooden box was given to him by his master, the Spirit Pearl belonged to his father. His father had spent a lot of money to buy it, intending to use it to break through to the ninth level of Spirit Martial. If his father found out that he had lost the Spirit Pearl, he would definitely skin him alive.

"Could it be..." Suddenly, Chuxun remembered the scene where Chufeng thanked him, and he instantly understood something. Clenching the wooden box, he gritted his teeth and said, "Chufeng, I won't let this go."

At the same time, Chufeng had already returned to his room. Closing the door, he took out a pearl surrounded by spiritual energy from his waist, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

"Thank you, Chuxun. You went through so much trouble just to give me this treasure to help me break through to the sixth level of Spirit Martial. Tsk tsk, you're a real brother."

Chuxun never imagined that Chufeng had mental energy. Although the wooden box could confuse the ferocious beasts' sense of smell, it couldn't interfere with Chufeng's mental energy.

When Chufeng arrived, he immediately discovered the wooden box containing the Spirit Pearl and determined that it was a trap set by someone.

On the way down the mountain, after seeing the surprised expressions of Chuxun and Uncle Zhang, Chufeng was almost certain that these two had conspired to trick him. But they never imagined that their plan to trick him would backfire.

"Amu"

The Spirit Pearl entered his stomach and instantly transformed into a massive amount of spiritual energy. However, before the spiritual energy could spread, it was swallowed by the suction in his dantian.

At this moment, Chufeng could almost hear the sound of a hungry wolf chewing inside his dantian.

When the sound disappeared, a tremendous change occurred in his dantian. The nine thunder beasts roared and underwent another transformation.

When everything returned to normal, a spiritual energy several times stronger than before surged out of the dantian, filling Chufeng's body.

"Spirit Martial Sixth Level" Chufeng opened his eyes, and a smile of excitement appeared on his lips.

If reaching the sixth level of Spirit Martial at the age of fifteen could be considered a genius, then someone like Chufeng, who broke through from the second level to the sixth level of Spirit Martial in less than two months, could only be described with two words: monster.

Time flew by, and soon it was the day of the Chu family's clan meeting.

This so-called clan meeting was not just a simple internal meeting of the Chu family, but a display of the Chu family's strength to the outside world.

The martial arts arena in the Mountain Rely Town was packed with people. Not only did the town's powerful families come to watch, but many nearby forces were also attracted.

These external forces came either by invitation or out of admiration, but their purpose was the same: to see the current strength of the Chu family.

So when the main members of the Chu family appeared, the atmosphere in the arena instantly reached a boiling point.

"Look, that's the head of the Chu family, Chuyuanba."

People first focused their attention on the leading elder. Although the elder was in his sixties, he was broad-shouldered and robust, walking with a strong gait. Especially under his white eyebrows, a sense of authority was faintly emitted, making people feel a bit intimidated.

This was Chuyuanba, the grandfather of Chufeng and others, and the only expert in the Chu family who had reached the Yuanwu realm.

"Behind Chuyuanba are the six sons of the Chu family, indeed each one is dignified and extraordinary. But it's unknown which one will inherit the position of the new head of the family."

"What's the rush? I heard that at today's clan meeting, Old Master Chu will announce his retirement, and the new head of the family will be selected."

"In that case, there will be a good show today."

Just thinking about the main event of today's clan meeting, people were already unable to contain their excitement.
