Chapter 4

"Xiao Chen, was it Zhengyi Sect that...?" Xu Yin carefully chose her words.

Su Chen saw her concern and smiled, saying, "Auntie, I did leave Zhengyi Sect."

"But don't worry, it's not that Zhengyi Sect expelled me, but rather I no longer wanted to stay there."

Su Chen's tone was very light and casual.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely think Su Chen was just saving face.

After all, Zhengyi Sect was the largest sect within a thousand miles, and in terms of cultivation environment, it was far superior to the cultivation families in the small city.

However, Xu Yin carefully looked into Su Chen's eyes and read a calm and determined expression from his clear, star-like eyes.

This made her nod involuntarily, feeling much more relieved: "Since that's the case, Xiao Chen, I'll talk to the head of the Jiang family. You can stay here with me without worry."

"It's just that it's a bit quiet here, and you'll have some company." Xu Yin smiled.

Su Chen nodded: "By the way, Auntie, please keep this a secret for now and don't tell my parents yet."

Xu Yin agreed and immediately instructed the servants to arrange a room for Su Chen.

A quarter of an hour later.

Su Chen was already in the familiar room from his memories.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Su Chen took a deep breath and cleared his mind of distractions.

Then, he slightly extended his arms, presenting a posture of embracing the universe.

The cultivation technique he was currently practicing was one of Zhengyi Sect's main techniques, the *Zhengyang Heart Sutra*, a second-grade technique.

Such a technique was considered quite good for ordinary people, but for Su Chen, who had once been a Pill Emperor, it was not enough.

Su Chen's memories contained many martial arts secrets, all collected after he became a Pill Emperor in his previous life. Many people knew that Pill Emperor Chen had a hobby of collecting martial arts secrets, and when they asked him to refine pills, they would often use valuable secrets as exchange.

Su Chen also enjoyed studying these martial arts secrets, and over the years, his knowledge of martial arts theory was vast.

Therefore, in this life, if he were to cultivate martial arts, he would naturally choose the most supreme technique.

In fact, he had already decided which technique to cultivate.

"I'll cultivate the *Chaos Immortal Record*!"

The *Chaos Immortal Record* was a supreme mystical technique that Su Chen obtained in his previous life. He didn't know who created it or what its origin was.

Su Chen only knew that when this technique appeared in his previous life, its grade surpassed all known techniques in the world, attracting countless powerful figures to fight over it. In the end, a Martial Emperor almost lost his life to obtain it.

Unfortunately, after obtaining it, the Martial Emperor discovered that cultivating this technique had an extremely strict condition: one must start cultivating it at the first level of martial arts, the Qi Induction stage, to grasp its essence.

The Martial Emperor was unwilling to discard his cultivation and start over, so he did not cultivate this technique. In the end, he gave it to Su Chen as a reward, and Su Chen refined a ninth-grade Taiwei Dust-Repelling Pill for him.

Now, Su Chen was at the seventh level of the Qi Induction stage, which was exactly suitable for cultivating this technique!

Therefore, Su Chen decisively abandoned the *Zhengyang Heart Sutra* and switched to the *Chaos Immortal Record*.

With his mind set, Su Chen began to recall the incantations of the *Chaos Immortal Record*.

As he started to cultivate, the surrounding spiritual energy gradually gathered, forming thick spirals that surged into his body through his crown.

Then, the large and small meridians in Su Chen's body began to operate at full speed, compressing and converting the massive spiritual energy entering his body into true qi in his dantian.

If others saw this, they would be greatly surprised.

Because the *Chaos Immortal Record* Su Chen was cultivating was truly extraordinary, absorbing all the spiritual energy within a ten-meter radius and completely sealing it within his body, allowing no leakage!

Ordinary techniques, no matter how advanced, would always lose a significant portion of the absorbed spiritual energy through breathing and pores, which is what is commonly referred to as waste.

However, the *Chaos Immortal Record* completely sealed the absorbed spiritual energy within the body, converting 100% of it into true qi in the dantian, with no waste at all, demonstrating how dominant this technique was!

Su Chen, who was already a genius with a very suitable constitution for cultivation, was now further enhanced by this miraculous technique, and his cultivation rapidly increased at an unbelievable speed.

The moon set, and the sun rose.

When Su Chen finished his cultivation and opened his eyes, exhaling slowly, he realized it was already dawn, and he had been cultivating all night.

*Slap!*

Su Chen slapped his palms on the ground, leaving two half-inch deep, clearly visible palm prints on the hard ground.

"Just one night of cultivation, and I've already broken through to the eighth level of the Qi Induction stage. This *Chaos Immortal Record* is indeed dominant!" Su Chen's eyes sparkled with obvious joy as he stood up and stretched, and his body immediately made a sound like popping beans.

At the same time, his height visibly increased by half an inch.

His body seemed to contain boundless strength.

This feeling was something Su Chen had never experienced in his previous life. In his previous life, he had only cultivated to the seventh level of the Qi Induction stage before his cultivation was nullified, and he never cultivated again.

"In this life, I will definitely reach the pinnacle of martial arts with this body!" Su Chen's eyes flashed with confidence.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door, and Auntie Xu Yin's voice asked, "Xiao Chen, are you up?"

"Please come in, Auntie." Su Chen tidied up the room and opened the door to let Xu Yin in.

Xu Yin walked into the room with a smile: "Xiao Chen, did you sleep well?"

"Your cousin Tingyi came back last night, but it was too late, so we didn't let her disturb you. Now, early in the morning, the two of you can get to know each other."

Su Chen looked past Xu Yin and saw a slender and curvaceous young girl standing in the doorway, backlit.

The girl wore a purple short shirt and a silver short skirt, revealing her long, white, and smooth legs.

She seemed to think there was something dirty in Su Chen's room, wrinkling her nose and refusing to step inside.

"Jiang Tingyi."

The name of this cousin flashed through Su Chen's mind. In his previous life, because he was expelled from Zhengyi Sect and had his dantian nullified, he had suffered a lot of discrimination from this cousin.

In Su Chen's memory, this cousin was very beautiful, one of the top beauties in Qinghe City. Even in his previous life, Su Chen had been stunned by her beauty when he first met her.

However, Su Chen was no longer the Su Chen of his previous life. Many of the most talented women in the Pill Domain had wanted to form a relationship with him, and he had seen countless beauties. Now, seeing his cousin, he felt no inner turmoil.

"Mother, why do we have to come here? What kind of cousin is this, just a freeloader, and we have to accept him?" The girl complained incessantly.

Xu Yin's smile disappeared, and she scolded, "Don't be impolite in front of your cousin!"

Then, Xu Yin turned to Su Chen apologetically: "Xiao Chen, I'm really sorry, Tingyi is spoiled by me."

"It's fine, Auntie, I don't mind." Su Chen smiled.

"You just arrived and don't have any change of clothes. Today, let Tingyi take you to buy some clothes and some daily necessities." Xu Yin said.

When Jiang Tingyi heard that she had to accompany Su Chen to buy clothes, she immediately protested: "Mother!"

Su Chen also smiled: "Auntie, I'll go by myself."

"No." The usually gentle Xu Yin was unexpectedly stubborn, "Xiao Chen, you're not familiar with Qinghe City, so let Tingyi accompany you. Tingyi, go and get ready, we'll leave in a quarter of an hour."

"Humph!" Jiang Tingyi, seeing her resistance was futile, stomped her foot in anger, glared at Su Chen, and ran away quickly.
