Starting From Fooling the Elderly into Registering for a Cultivation Training Class Chapter 157 - Should I Let Those Combat Students Get Some Practice?

Chapter 157: Should I Let Those Combat Students Get Some Practice?

The large conference hall was completely silent.
Everyone from the Li family looked anxious.
Qin Chuan sipped his tea alone.
He understood what the Li family was worried about.
Mr. Fan was quite pitiful.
Because he was spying on Qin Chuan, his soul was severely damaged, and he fell unconscious.
Without soul-related medicine, there was a high chance that he would not wake up.
However, the people in this world did not know that Mr. Fan’s soul was damaged.
As such, Li Zhongyun sent Mr. Fan to the Leslie family clan.
As a top financial group, the Leslie family clan was also reputed for their medical technology.
But they, as a top-notch financial group, got attacked. Furthermore, it was a very serious attack.
Gazing at the silent crowd, Qin Chuan took a sip of tea as he calmly said, “As long as I’m around, your family clan will be safe.”
His voice wasn’t loud, but it was like a great bell that shook everyone’s hearts.
The members of the Li clan all turned their gazes onto Qin Chuan, their eyes gleaming with admiration and respect.
Based on the previous incident where the stock price of the Li Pharmaceutical Co. had plummeted by 100 billion yuan, they had determined that the person behind Qin Chuan was an extremely capable physiognomist. At the very least, he was much more capable than Mr. Fan.
And because of Fan Si’s coma, they racked their brains to draw Qin Chuan over to their side.
Although Qin Chuan had agreed to become a guest elder, they hesitated to ask him to serve the clan immediately.
But now that Qin Chuan had taken the initiative to speak, he acted as the sun in winter. It made them feel exceptionally excited.
Everyone in the Li family had the utmost confidence in the giant behind Qin Chuan.
With the help of this giant, there was no need to worry about the tricks being used on the younger generation of the clan.
Other than that, they didn’t intentionally mention the giant behind Qin Chuan.
This was because the personalities of such giants were more or less a little strange. They were worried that they would arouse the other party’s displeasure by doing so.
Li Jingchen stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Chuan. The other elders did the same.
Qin Chuan calmly sipped his tea. To him, the techniques used by the physiognomist were just some unpresentable spells.
Whereas what he had grasped was the orthodox cultivation method, so dealing with a mere physiognomist was naturally a piece of cake.
In the conference hall.
With Qin Chuan’s guarantee, the gloominess hanging above the Li clan’s members dissipated, and the atmosphere once again became lively.
Time slowly passed.
The Li Clan and Qin Chuan had gone through many conversations.
Finally, the Martial Arts Conference that would be held at the end of the year was mentioned.
The Martial Arts Conference was held once every three years, and this year was the 100th session.
Due to its uniqueness, this year’s Martial Arts Conference would differ from the previous ones.
For example, in the past, the opponents of the competition were only limited to the martial arts clans in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
But this time, it was for the whole world.
Factions other than the martial arts families will obtain points through offline challenges, and the top 100 in the rankings would be eligible to participate.
After listening for a while, Qin Chuan became interested.
This was because the system had issued him a mission to guide martial artists into cultivation. He could use the opportunity of the Martial Arts Conference to pick suitable martial artists.
At the same time, he suddenly had an idea.
Qin Chuan intended to let the Combat students of the sect participate.
Although their realms advanced very quickly through diligent training, they had never experienced a real battle.
The Martial Arts Conference happened to be a stage for honing one’s combat experience. So Qin Chuan felt that they needed to participate.
Therefore, he asked Li Jingchen, “Patriarch Li, has the competing list of names been confirmed?”
“It will be at the end of November.”
“Oh! There’s still time then.” Qin Chuan temporarily heaved a sigh of relief.
When Li Jingchen heard this, he thought about it and instantly came up with a possibility, but he did not point it out.
After a moment of silence.
Li Jingchen found a topic and asked Qin Chuan, “Guest Elder Qin, have you heard of genetic modification?”
Qin Chuan calmly replied, “Of course I have. It is said that in the West, there are many organizations that research genetic modification. It can be said that they are extremely rampant.”
Li Jingchen nodded. “People from the West like to use crooked ways. They want to use genetic modification techniques to replace martial arts.
“However, I have to say that the information they found through research is indeed very tricky. ”
Li Jingchen recalled, “Two years ago, a Western force came to our martial arts family and challenged us.
“We didn’t pay much attention at the time, so we just sent a few random people.
“But as soon as the challenge began, the people we sent out were killed instantly. They didn’t have the slightest ability to resist.
“Later on, we found out that those people had undergone genetic modification. Their physiques were no longer inferior to martial artists. Rather, they were even stronger.
“And in this year’s Martial Arts Conference, there will be many genetically modified people participating.
“I looked at the rankings, and in the top 20, more than half are genetically modified people.
“It is said that the powers in the West are threatening to wipe the martial artists in the East.
“Therefore, this Martial Arts Conference can be said to be a very harsh test for us martial artists.”
After Qin Chuan heard this, he didn’t think much of it. There were at least a hundred genetically modified people who had died in his hands.
He still had some extent of understanding regarding the capabilities of these people.
“Patriarch Li, may I know which faction is ranked first?”
Compared to genetically modified people, Qin Chuan was more interested in the top place.
Li Jingchen did not reply immediately. Instead, he took out his phone and looked through the records.
“Found it!
“The number one on the rankings now is a faction from Yun Country.
“They are a group of three people. Yet, throughout a total of 177 challenges, they have not lost single time.
“And up until now, only one person has been fighting. The other two have been watching the show the entire time. So I reckon they will only come forward when the conference begins.”
After hearing this, Qin Chuan felt curious.
“Patriarch Li, it seems that there are many capable people in this Martial Arts Conference.
“For martial arts families like you who have hundreds or thousands of history, make sure you don’t fall over on home ground!”
Li Jingcheng laughed dryly. “Of course not. Since it’s held at our doorstep, we must not embarrass our ancestors.”
“Also, I have a question.
“Does the government not interfere in the Martial Arts Conference?” Qin Chuan suddenly thought of this question.
One had to know that accidents could happen during fights, and the strength of martial artists was also extraordinary. Therefore, it should not be uncommon to see deaths.
However, the government definitely would not want such a thing to happen.
Hence, Qin Chuan was especially curious.
Li Jingchen smiled helplessly. “The government will interfere. Look at the martial arts families. We’re an example.
“The Hundred Thousand Mountains is like a prison, and we are the prisoners in there.
“We had to ask for permission, even to step out here today, and it includes all kinds of restrictions.
“If we violate the rules, the consequences will be severe and we might be in danger of being exterminated.”
Qin Chuan nodded. “I see.”
“Guest Elder Qin, you have to be clear.
“When a certain force or person goes out of the control of the government or is threatening the position of the government, they will eliminate them without a second glance.
“Back then, there were more than 36 martial arts families in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but now…”
Li Jingchen did not continue.
Through these words, Qin Chuan became even more determined about the importance of strengthening the cultivation group.
…
Soon, the sky gradually darkened.
The afterglow of the setting sun faded away, leaving behind the last trace of redness.
In the conference hall, Li Jingchen stood up and bowed to Qin Chuan.
“Great Master Qin, I hope that you will attend the guest elder appointment ceremony in three days,” Li Jingchen said respectfully.
“No problem.” Qin Chuan readily agreed.
At that time, he could first seek out some martial artists. If their morals were acceptable, he would recruit them into the sect.
…
Night.
The endless streets were like colorful ribbons, enhancing each other’s beauty with Gold Sea City’s skyscrapers and illuminating the city.
After Li Jingchen and the elders left, Li Zhongyun booked a luxurious hotel for Qin Chuan.
In the presidential suite.
Qin Chuan first took a shower, then sat on the sofa and opened the system interface to view the cultivation situation of the sect members.
Everyone in the Combat specialization was practicing the “Five Lightning Whips” seriously in the training hall. Every movement of theirs was smooth and fluid. They had the charm of a national protector.
In the Alchemy room.
Batches of spirit pills were produced one after another, and the medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire room.
Everyone in the Alchemy specialization was exceptionally proficient in their refinement techniques. As a result, the quality of the elixirs they refined were above average, and the rate at which they produced pills improving.
In the weapon forging room.
It was bustling with activity. Sparks flew everywhere as everyone hammered the various materials with all their might, turning them into materials needed to forge weapons.
The mission that Qin Chuan gave them was to forge a flying sword.
Until now, no one had succeeded.
Although the materials used to forge flying swords could all be tempered, grinding the materials together and forging them into flying swords used by cultivators was not easy.
Qin Chuan didn’t blame them for being slow.
After all, forging weapons was a very cumbersome process. The control over many parts of the process was very strict. Even if the temperature was one degree lower, it might result in a failure.
Hence, Qin Chuan didn’t have high expectations for the people from the Weapon Forging specialization. He was afraid that he would give them too much pressure and disrupt their mental state.
The image cut to the array formation room.
Currently, these people from the Array Formation specialization had almost lost all their hair.
But the hair loss was worth it.
A few people had set up a small Energy Converging Array.
Although they were rough, they could gather spiritual energy.
Now, they were working step by step, striving to set up an acceptable Energy Converging Array soon.
In the Divination room.
A group of people sat cross-legged on the ground, muttering something. They were surrounded by gray smoke and looked very strange.
…
After looking around, Qin Chuan retracted his gaze.
“Not bad. In such a short period of time, they are almost getting on track. As their mentor, I have done my work pretty well!” Qin Chuan praised himself.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Qin Chuan then looked towards the door and extended his divine consciousness.
A waitress stood outside the door.
The waitress was holding a tray with a mask and a ticket.
Qin Chuan frowned as he opened the door.
“Good evening, Mr. Qin!” The waitress immediately squeezed out a polite smile.
Qin Chuan directly asked, “Why are you looking for me?”
“Mr. Qin, it’s like this. A masquerade ball is being held in the hotel tonight.
“As a distinguished guest of this hotel, you are naturally qualified to attend this ball.
“This is a mask specially used for the masquerade ball. And here is the ticket.” The waitress said seriously.
Qin Chuan picked up the mask and took a look at it. The feathers on the mask came from a precious species. They were very soft and had a beautiful color.
The eye sockets were gilded with gold, and there were all sorts of gems embedded at the sides, giving off an air of nobility.
Qin Chuan asked, “Do I have to attend?”
The waitress smiled and replied, “It’s Mr. Qin’s personal wish to attend or not. We will not insist.
“However, many socialites are attending this masquerade ball. Given Mr. Qin’s status and handsome appearance, I’m sure you will win the hearts of many socialites.
“Don’t miss this opportunity!”
