Chapter 18: Nine Swords in the Sky

The atmosphere in the main hall was a little dull, and the faces of the important members of the Chen clan were not very good-looking.

What does a top-grade spirit stone mean, the measure in everyone's heart is roughly the same at this moment.

Even if Chen Feng handed over the Innate Stone to the family, it was difficult to determine the final ownership, but after learning that the best spirit stone had been corrupted by him, some people would inevitably be angry and pantothenic acid in their hearts.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were more or less chilly, the head of the family, Chen Hong's face sank slightly: "Look at what you are like now? Greed and anger are written on your faces, and you are not afraid to make people laugh in front of outsiders!"

"If it's really as Chen Feng said, wouldn't the opportunity for the family's rise be buried by him in vain?" said the blue-robed middle-aged man with a hateful expression.

The person who spoke was Chen Feng's uncle, Chen Rongping, although he had the cultivation of the ninth layer of qi refining, but he was subject to innate qualifications and was never able to step into the Xuan Xuan period.

"Even Rong Bozhen left a natural stone for Feng'er, and it doesn't belong to you, not to mention that the best spirit stone has turned into ashes now. The white-haired old man Chen Hong's mood had gradually calmed down at this time.

"Father, do you really believe what Chen Feng said, if he soared into the sky with the help of the Innate Stone, it would be fine, but Chen Feng not only did not gain anything, but fell out of the Qi Refining Period, how could this not make people feel heartache...... "Chen Rongmin said with a skeptical look.

"It's a fact that Feng'er forced the calamity out of his body, if he didn't have the help of extremely high-grade items, how could he survive?" The old man's gaze was condensed, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

"Two days later, there will be a big competition in the family, and now although Chen Feng is out of the customs, he has fallen out of the Qi refining period, do you want to arrange for him to have a competition?" asked Chen Rongping, a middle-aged man in a blue robe, pretending to be calm.

The important members of the Chen clan in the main hall had their own thoughts, but Chen Rongmin's eyes were slightly cold: "There has always been a big family competition, and the juniors who are over twelve years old must participate, and although Chen Feng's cultivation has fallen out of the qi refining period, it is no exception. ”

Many people nodded and agreed with Chen Rongmin's statement, which was not simply to see Chen Feng make a fool of himself in the family competition, but with a hint of temptation.

"Why didn't Rong Xuan come over? to inform him, and by the way, bring that kid Chen Meng, I have something to ask them. Chen Hong, who was sitting at the top of the house, glanced at everyone and groaned.

Chen Feng, who walked out of the main hall at this time, did not pay attention to the thoughts of the Chen family, but said hello to Chen Quanming and went to the library of the Zongfu.

Chen Quanming, who had made up the monthly silver, had already prepared it early in the morning, and when he heard that Chen Feng wanted to go to the Zongfu Library, he only hesitated slightly, and told Qiao Xueqing, who was traveling with him, not to enter together, so he arranged for a maid Shuang'er to introduce the two into the back house.

In the past, Chen Feng rarely entered the back house, this is where the ladies of the Chen Mansion live, and there are usually no outsiders, if it is not for the identity of the children of Chen Feng's family, it is impossible for Qiao Xueqing to be let in.

The corridor of the back house is curved, the flowers and trees are sparse, and the red fence is full of red tiles, all of which are enclosed in the high courtyard wall.

Crossing the stone bridge through the small pavilion, people have a feeling that the inner courtyard of a large family is as deep as the sea.

Although there are female dependents living in many places, it is not convenient for Chen Feng and Qiao Xueqing to enter, but the maid Shuang'er will still give intimate guidance in the process of leading.

After wandering around for a while, Chen Feng came to the book pavilion in the back house of the Chen Mansion.

Seeing Shuang'er step forward first, the two female guards who were guarding outside the library whispered a few words, and Chen Feng, who was secretly thinking in his heart, did not follow.

"It seems that the people of the Chen family seem to be very interested in the innate stone you fabricated, isn't it a little chilling?" Qiao Xueqing teased Chen Feng with a smile.

"What do you mean by making it up, the Innate Stone is originally real, haven't you seen it before?" Chen Feng smiled lazily and uninhibitedly.

"That maid named Chun'er, are you still planning to come back?" Qiao Xueqing glanced at Chen Feng with a slight meaning.

Chen Feng shook his head calmly: "Even if you want to come back, it can only be a corpse, as long as you pay attention, it won't be long before you have a chance to settle this account." ”

Feeling the evil tyranny hidden by Chen Feng, Qiao Xueqing just smiled and stopped talking.

"Now it seems that the family can't count on it, and it will have to find its own way out in the future. Chen Feng smiled faintly and had already walked towards the library.

The two-storey library is built by golden sand stone, under the illumination of the sunshine, the thick golden tiles are like golden scales, flashing with dazzling light, and the eaves are carved with exquisite flower and bird patterns, which is a sense of personal beauty.

Obviously, because of Shuang'er's greeting, the two female guards guarding outside the library only glanced at Chen Feng curiously, but they did not prevent him from entering.

Although there are a lot of bookshelves on the first floor of the library, there are mostly some miscellaneous collections, including a lot of the cultural environment of the Great Yan Dynasty, which is also Chen Feng's main goal.

As for the cultivation classics, Chen Feng didn't have much hope, a weak immortal cultivation family like the Chen clan would not have anything good to think of.

Chen Feng, who looked at the books and bamboo slips with great interest, even ignored the passage of time, and did not go up to the second floor of the book pavilion until the west of the day.

Three beech bookcases with a faint red glow, placed on the second floor of the library, look very empty.

When he came to the second floor of the library, he found a young girl quietly looking at the cultivation classics, Chen Feng paused at his feet, and then he arrived at another bookshelf and began to look through it.

The plain girl is only fifteen or sixteen years old, with clear eyebrows, a hosta on her head, and a pale pink skirt on her body, which makes people feel very quiet.

The reason why Chen Feng was a little surprised was not the girl's seductive appearance and temperament, but that he had not seen this person in his memory.

The room was quiet, and the clatter of gently turning the parchment could be heard clearly.

Seven-star swordsmanship, Paiyun palm, Fuhu fist, Zen step, Vajra Gong, Shengchun Duel......

The classics on the bookshelf are mostly some low-level martial arts, as well as low-level qigong refining methods, but for people like Chen Feng, who know little about cultivation, they are like treasures.

Chen Feng, who was intoxicated by the classics of the exercises, sat on a small futon not far from the bookshelf, and gestured twice without doing anything, as if he was thinking and helping.

The texture of the texts that record the exercises is also different, such as bamboo slips, paper, animal skins, and even a few rolls of jade tubes, which are quite complicated.

Opening a stack of somewhat old animal skins and looking at them for a while, although Chen Feng was very focused and calm on the surface, he was a little depressed in his heart.

The "Nine Swords of the Battle" recorded on the animal skin are not only somewhat like finger swords, but also some similar to the method of the imperial sword, but it is a pity that the animal skin is old and tattered, which makes some cultivation methods and handwriting lose a lot, and only the previous layer of sword momentum can barely figure it out.

Chen Feng's understanding of swordsmanship was not very deep, he looked at the Nine Swords of the Battle for a while, not only did he not feel the wonder of the sword technique, but he had a feeling of jerky and heaviness.

This uncomfortable feeling of qi obstruction and chest tightness was something that Chen Feng had not felt when he watched other cultivation classics before.

After stroking the unknown animal skin that recorded the Nine Swords of the Battle, and realizing that this animal skin seemed to be some years old, Chen Feng quietly refolded the animal skin and put it directly in the storage bag, regardless of whether the books in the library were taken away, he completely regarded it as his own goods.

Chen Feng, who took the sword technique, felt the girl's gaze, lazily Shi Shiran got up, and walked towards the first floor of the library, without saying a word to the girl from beginning to end, and the two were in the library for six hours, and there was no communication.

By the time Chen Feng walked out of the book pavilion, the sky was already full of stars.

Because there are a lot of flowers and plants planted in the back house, it brings people a refreshing and moist feeling at night, listening to the sound of flowing water from the small bridge, Chen Feng quickly found Qiao Xueqing, who was sitting in a small pavilion and drinking leisurely.

"I'm sorry, I lost my time. ”

Chen Feng sat opposite Qiao Xueqing, poured himself a glass of wine, and had an apologetic smile on his face.

"What's the catch?" Qiao Xueqing asked calmly.

"It's not bad, although there are fewer classics in the Library, but for me, it can be regarded as a lot of benefits. Chen Feng ate a piece of Ruyi cake with a satisfied face.

Seeing the gaze of the servant girl in the distance, Qiao Xueqing got up with a smile and walked out of the pavilion, without the intention of staying in the Chen Mansion more.

There weren't many words between Chen Feng and Qiao Xueqing, but there was a vague sense of coordination when they walked together.

"If you tell me about the Innate Stone today, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future. When she was about to return to the small courtyard, Qiao Xueqing reminded Chen Feng with a smile.

"When the family gradually quiets down after the big competition, look for an opportunity to find a place to leave, and prepare properly during this time, although the innate body has been achieved, it is also necessary to cultivate and consolidate for a period of time, if you can return to the Qi refining period, you will have some self-protection ability. Chen Feng said calmly.

"In the future, you will live in the East Chamber, and the West Chamber, and the underground cultivation ground will belong to me, so it is best to keep a distance between us and not disturb each other. Although Qiao Xueqing's delicate face was serious, the gaze in her eyes flickered a little.

Faintly, Qiao Xueqing felt that although Chen Feng was not serious, he didn't seem to rely on her, and they were very clear from each other, which could be seen from his entry into Chen's Mansion Pavilion today.

"It's exactly what I want, it's just a small underground cultivation room, you also treat it as a treasure, I don't see that you have any big ambitions!" Chen Feng sighed with a smile.

"You~~~"

was squeezed by Chen Feng, Qiao Xueqing's face turned red, and she looked very embarrassed.

Chen Feng, who returned to the courtyard outside his house, smiled and made a boo movement, and then gently pushed open the unlocked door.

"Chen Feng, you kid is out of the customs, is there nothing to do......" Seeing Chen Feng go home, Chen Meng, who was sitting in the courtyard, got up quickly and asked happily.

"Third uncle. ”

Chen Feng directly ignored the overjoyed Chen Meng, and said to Chen Rongxuan, a black-faced man with a relieved smile on his face.

"It's good to be safe and sound, and don't be impulsive and reckless in the future. Although he was called to the Zong family for a reprimand today, Chen Rongxuan was still happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw that Chen Feng had nothing to do with it.
