Out of the Bai Mansion, Chu Chen refused the carriage arranged by Master Bai to see him off, and walked back with Li Ao.

"Big brother, why do you only accept 500,000 taels of silver from the Bai family?" Li Ao was very strange, according to his thoughts, Chu Chen should have received at least one million taels from the Bai family, how could it be less than the Cheng family?

"Master Bai is still a good person, although the Bai family is rich, but most of them are rightfully earned, a gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way, and he can't be too much for a good person. Chu Chen said, if the Bai family also fell into the trap for him in his previous life, he would receive at least three million taels from the Bai family today.

"I see. Li Ao nodded, understanding what Chu Chen meant.

When he got home, Chu Chen went straight into the room to continue his cultivation, and Li Ao continued to take steps.

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Chen gave Li Ao two packets of medicinal powder and asked him to send them to Changfu and Baifu, using the same method as the Cheng family.

In the next few days, everything was calm, Chu Chen cultivated step by step every day, and his cultivation was successfully promoted to the peak of the third layer of condensation, which was not far from the fourth layer of condensation.

Chang Feng, Bai Ruoyun, and Cheng Jinbiao returned to the academy after Chu Chen's "diagnosis" for half a month, and the Cheng family also sent the silver ticket owed to them.

It's just that in the academy, Chang Feng and the three of them looked at Chu Chen's gaze, not only did they not have the slightest remorse, but they became more and more gloomy.

"Big brother, Chang Feng, do they still dare to do something to us?" Seeing the eyes of the three of them, Li Ao asked in a worried whisper in Chu Chen's ear.

"Whatever they are. Chu Chen shrugged his shoulders indifferently, Chang Feng and the three of them were already dead people in his eyes, what did the big living people have to do with the dead, if they didn't know each other, they had to die, and they could fulfill them at any time.

Seeing that Chu Chen didn't matter, Li Ao was no longer worried, anyway, he believed that as long as Chu Chen was there, Chang Feng and the three would not dare to do anything to him!

After another two days, after a night of cultivation, Chu Chen finally broke through the fourth layer of condensation.

"Finally broke through. Chu Chen slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid qi, it had been almost a month, and now he had finally cultivated to the fourth layer of condensing qi.

Then, Chu Chen slowly closed his eyes, and in the movement of his mind, an invisible divine consciousness flew out of his body, and suddenly, in front of Chu Chen's eyes, the things in the entire room could be seen clearly.

When a monk cultivates to the fourth layer of condensing qi, he can produce divine consciousness, and his divine consciousness can leave the body, but not too far, generally a monk of the fourth layer of condensing qi, his divine consciousness can only be released at a distance of half a zhang, but at this time, Chu Chen's divine consciousness is already more than one zhang, and this distance is still increasing with the release of his divine consciousness, until it is two zhang, it is a little weak.

"It's a little more powerful than I expected. "According to Chu Chen's original estimate, the divine consciousness cultivated by this Heaven Devouring Battle Method is at most a distance of more than one zhang around him, but he didn't expect that it can reach more than two zhang, which is much stronger than the divine consciousness cultivated by those who cultivate the Holy Land and the Immortal Gate. "What a surprise, it seems that my prediction of this sky-devouring battle method is still a little lower. ”

Chu Chen retracted his divine sense, and opened his eyes again with satisfaction, now that he has divine consciousness, many things that he couldn't do before can now be done, at least, he can go to the academy's promotion exam in advance, enter the court as an official as soon as possible, step into the door of the Yu family as soon as possible, and take his mother out of the Yu family, so that their family can be reunited as soon as possible.

"Mother, the child will come to pick you up soon, bear with me. Chu Chen stood up, and the cold light flashed in his eyes.

When I went out of the room, I saw Li Ao playing the moves he learned from the martial arts class in the small garden, but he also looked like that.

"Big brother, it's been almost a month, can you teach me martial arts?" Seeing Chu Chen coming, Li Ao salivated and pasted his face again.

"When you can stand for an hour with two buckets of water, I will teach you martial arts. Chu Chen smiled.

"Carrying two buckets of water?!" Hearing Chu Chen's words, Li Ao almost didn't fall, what are you kidding, two buckets of water are at least 100 catties, he has only practiced to lift half a bucket of water for an hour now!

"That's right. Chu Chen nodded seriously, it was not so easy to learn his immortal martial arts.

"I guess it will take a few months to get to that point. Li Ao grimaced.

"No, at most about half a month. Seeing Li Ao's appearance, Chu Chen couldn't help but smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Believe in the eldest brother, at most half a month." ”

"By the way, when you come back in the evening, you go to the pharmacy and buy these herbs for me. Chu Chen took out a silver ticket and a piece of paper from his body, and the name of the medicinal herb was written on the paper.

"Buying so many medicines again, big brother, I'm afraid you can't buy more than 100,000 taels of silver medicinal materials this month, right?" Seeing that dozens of medicinal materials were densely written on the paper, Li Ao couldn't help but ask Chu Chen although he was not surprised.

"Is there so many?" Chu Chen said indifferently: "Even if it's a million taels, there's no fuss, besides, I wrote a prescription for you to use, come back every night and put the medicine in the bathtub to take a bath, remember?"

"Oh, little brother remembers. Li Ao answered, took the silver ticket and medicine list, and went out behind Chu Chen.

With his divine sense, Chu Chen was almost familiar with the books that must be tested this semester with a stick of incense, and took advantage of the lunch break to go to the library again, and found out all the books that must be studied in the next two years, and prepared to take a good look at them in two or three days, go to the test hall to take all the exams, and wait until tomorrow spring to participate in the national unified examination.

The major colleges in Chu have test halls, and this test hall has two functions, one is to give those talented students the qualification to graduate early, and the other is to give those students who have not taken the exam a chance to retake the exam, however, each student has only one chance every year, and after passing the exam, he can naturally graduate early, and if he fails to pass the re-exam, he has to go back obediently to revisit, wait for the unified examination of the college, or take the exam again next year.

Chu Chen took Li Ao and quickly found all the required books in the library pavilion.

"Big brother, what are you looking for these books?" Seeing that Chu Chen was looking for all the books that must be examined, Li Ao couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Of course, it's for the exam, what do you think I'm looking for these books for?" Chu Chen said with a smile.

"Big brother, are you going to enter the test hall to prepare for the one-time test?" Li Ao asked in disbelief, this is too ridiculous, too incredible, he has not heard of anyone who can do this.

"Why not?" Chu Chen said lightly.

"Big brother, are you a demon?" Li Ao couldn't help but look at him like a monster when he heard Chu Chen's words.

"Alright, get me the book out. Chu Chen smiled.

The students of the book academy in the library can borrow them at any time, but when Chu Chen put these books in front of the administrator to register, it made the old administrator look at Chu Chen deeply, after all, he took all the books that were required for the exam.

"Little friend, don't be impatient when you read, you can't chew it if you are greedy, are you sure you can finish reading these books in seven days?" When the old administrator was registering, he said to Chu Chen, there are rules in the library pavilion, and the books borrowed can only be borrowed for seven days.

"The two of us should be able to watch it. Chu Chen didn't want to shock the world, so he pulled Li Ao over as a shield.

Seeing Chu Chen say this, the old administrator stopped talking and carefully registered them clearly, but the meaning in his eyes obviously thought that they were not very good learners.

After school in the afternoon, Chu Chen and Li Ao walked out of the door not far away, Wu Cheng, who had not seen him for a long time, hung a hand around his neck with a bandage, and his face was even more swollen like a pig's head, red and purple, and walked towards Chu Chen, and as soon as they met, he didn't care whether there was anyone around him and knelt directly in front of Chu Chen.

"Mr. Chu, please save my life!" Wu Cheng propped one hand on the ground and kowtowed to Chu Chen.

"Who are you?" Chu Chen frowned slightly and asked, I haven't seen this person before, why are you kneeling?

"The little one is Wu Cheng, Xiao Wu, Mr. Chu!" Wu Cheng raised his head, and his words were a little unpleasant.

"Huh, Xiao Wu, why did you become like this? Get up. Chu Chen saw that many people around him cast strange glances and stopped, and after recognizing Wu Cheng, he asked him to get up.

"Mr. Chu, please save the little one's life, the little one must always feel Mr. Chen's great kindness!" After Wu Cheng got up, he bowed to Chu Chen and said.

"Alright, this is not the place to talk, find a place to sit down and talk. Chu Chen saw that there were more and more onlookers, so he instructed Wu Cheng.

"Yes, Mr. Chu, please!" Wu Cheng led the way in front, and not long after, everyone entered a separate room in a small teahouse, which was opened by Wu Cheng.

"Let's talk about something. After Chu Chen sat down, he glanced at Wu Cheng and said.

"Mr. Chu, the little one was poisoned, it was poisoned by the little enemy, the little enemy didn't know when he came back from learning a poison skill outside, it was very powerful, almost all of the little subordinates were broken by him, and they were also poisoned, no one was his opponent at all, the doctor in the city was also helpless against this, he came back this time, said that he would slowly torture me to death, and asked Mr. Chu to save the little one's life!" Wu Cheng cried and knelt down in front of Chu Chen again.
