"Gao Changtian, what a coincidence!

" Shang Guan Hong gave his greetings when he saw Gao Changtian.

n

"Shang Guan xiong, Wu shimei.

"

n(TL note: xiong = bro

nGao Changtian gave a covered fist posture, showing his etiquette.

nShang Guan Hong chuckled while speaking to Wu Qingmei,

"Wu shimei, did you see? In the outer sect, I'm afraid there isn't anyone who is more polite than Gao Changtian. Isn't he cute?

"

nWu Qingmei gave a scoff.

nThis laugh was 'fatal', almost stunning both Shang Guan Hong and Gao Changtian.

nA turnback smile from a beauty was enough to charm a hundred men.

nStruggling to retrieve his vision, Shang Guan Hong noticed Gao Changtian's uncomfortable expression, he changed his topic,

"Gao Changtian, I wonder who this is beside you? Someone who can walk beside you, surely isn't anyone simple.

"

nGao Changtian introduced,

"This shidi is the recent hot topic of our outer sect, Li Fuchen.

"

nShang Guan Hong:

"Li Fuchen, I have indeed heard of this name. If even I heard of your name, you are considered good.

"

nLi Fuchen only laughed lightly and didn't say a word.

nWu Qingmei:

"Is Li shidi and Guan Xue shimei related in any way? I heard both of you came from Yunwu City.

"

nLi Fuchen replied:

"We aren't related, we are merely from the same city.

"

n

"Oh? That doesn't seem to be the case. I heard from an odd job disciple that you and Guan Xue once had an engagement. Is that true?

" Wu Qingmei didn't let off.

nLi Fuchen:

"That is a thing of the past now.

"

nHe guessed that Shen Tu Liang must be the one who disseminated this information and wanted to use this as a form of revenge.

nAfterall, there were too many outer sect disciples that liked Guan Xue.

n

"You sure are lucky to get engaged with Guan Xue. But won't work with just luck and no potential. Along the long road of martial arts, if there is no support between partners, what qualifications do you have be together.

"

nShang Guan Hong persisted on about bone frames.

nIn his eyes, only those that were of 4 star bone frames could speak with him on equal grounds. Those that were below 4 star bone frames, were all ants.

nGao Changtian sided with Li Fuchen,

"Li shidi isn't a regular individual. I believe in his potential.

"

n

"Keke, Gao Changtian, you sure like being the good man.

" Shang Guan Hong scoffed.

nWu Qingmei asked,

"Li shidi, are really just a normal bone frame? Could it be that you have some secret?

"

nShe didn't believe that a normal bone frame individual could raise his ability so drastically within a year. The quick-witted her determined that Li Fuchen must have some secrets.

nLi Fuchen didn't look at either of the three and raised his head looking at the skies,

"So what if I don't have any potential. As long as I am strong enough and progress fast enough.

"

nShang Guan Hong:

"You seem like a rather optimistic person. Hopefully you can attain the Origin Realm before the age of 20. This hurdle is the biggest one for normal bone frame people.

"

nAfter finishing his sentence, Shang Guan Hong spoke to Wu Qingmei,

"Wu shimei, let's go.

"

nStaying around Li Fuchen made him feel disgusted.

n

"Li shidi, don't mind it. This Shang Guan Hong's personality is rather arrogant.

" Gao Changtian comforted him.

nLi Fuchen shook his head and laughed:

"I have never minded how others thought of me.

"

nThe arrogance of the 10 Prodigies were well known, with the exception of Gao Changtian.

nActually, Gao Changtian had his own kind of arrogance too, but it was just that he didn't know about it.

n

n

nLi Fuchen was also arrogant in some ways, but he couldn't be bothered to lower his level to argue with these people.

n***

nBidding goodbye to Gao Changtian, Li Fuchen went back to his courtyard.

nHe wanted to try out the effects of the Dragon Tiger Pill.

nConsuming one of the Dragon Tiger Pills, Li Fuchen meditated. Vigorous moves were constantly executed in his mind.

nWithout even much work, Li Fuchen's body was steaming and his veins began popping.

n'The Dragon Tiger pill sure lives up to its name. The current effect is on par with 6 body tempering pills.'

nWith the Crimson Battle Form at completion, Li Fuchen tried consuming several body tempering pills and realised the effects were miniscule at best.

nNow that he consumed the Dragon Tiger pill, it felt as though he consumed the body tempering pill when he had just started cultivating the Crimson Battle Form.

nWith 6 dragon tiger pills fully absorbed, Li Fuchen's Interception Form Dao had reached the second rank.

nHis physical strength had also advanced by another 5000 kg.

n'The task to earn contribution points is a never ending path!'

nGrudgingly, Li Fuchen ended up back at the ore mountains.

nHe intended to rely on his luck to find some high grade ores.

n***

nThis time around, Li Fuchen didn't go to Kengqiang ore mountain, but arrived at Tonglu ore mountain instead.

nWhen Tonglu ore mountain had yet to be abandoned, it was rich with low-tier, yellow class, Copper ore.

nAmong the Copper ores were the rare appearances of mid-tier, yellow class, Green Copper ore and the high-tier, yellow class, Red Copper ore.

nJust like Kengqiang ore mountain, the Tonglu ore mountain was vast too. With a maze within, there were plenty of valleys and mining caves.

nWith every copper ore found, Li Fuchen would do a detailed sweep of its surroundings. Pressing on the floor or on the walls, using his qi and consciousness to explore within.

nA pity, there was nothing.

n

"Huang Xiaoshan, hand over the Red Copper ore now, or you will suffer.

"

n

"Dream on! If you want the Red Copper ore, take it from my dead body!

"

n

"You think I dare not?!

"

nIn front of a mining cave, two outer sect disciples were in conflict.

nAnd not far from the two of them was Red Copper ore the size of a basin.

nRed Copper ore was worth 30 points per kilo and this piece was at least a hundred kilos.

n

"You guys continue…

"

nPassing by and seeing this scene, Li Fuchen's eyes brightened. Since Red Copper ore could be found in this cave, it held a high possibility that there were more Red Copper ore to be found hidden within.

nSwoop

nLi Fuchen flashed right into the cave

nThe two outer sect disciples started to form cold sweat. They could recognise Li Fuchen, and knew if Li Fuchen wanted to claim their Red Copper ore, they wouldn't be able to do anything.

nWithin the cave, it was dark and narrow, and the outside world was slowly being left behind by Li Fuchen.

nSearching for ores was like searching for a needle in a haystack. Li Fuchen lifted a fire torch and searched slowly but thoroughly.

nWith every trace of ores, Li Fuchen would immediately project his qi and consciousness into the walls.

nWith the transformation of his soul spirit, Li Fuchen could extend the time he projected his consciousness. It was only 7.5 minutes at first, but it was now up to 15 minutes.

nAfter a few breaths of rest, he could project his consciousness again. That went on for several times a day.

nOn the third day, Li Fuchen finally had some results. Deep within the wall, was a Green Copper ore the size of a skull.

n

"Much too small, not worth the time to dig.

"

nA few dozen kilos of Green Copper ore was only a few hundred contribution points. Li Fuchen used to care about this much of points, but not anymore.

nIt was only until the tenth day, that Li Fuchen finally found a huge piece of Red Copper ore.

nThis piece of Red Copper ore was a few meters under the mine wall. With his consciousness, he estimated the ore to be the size of a water tank.

nWith the density of the Red Copper ore, this chunk was at least 3 to 4 thousand kilos.

nThat was at least 100,000 contribution points.

nWithout any hesitation, Li Fuchen poured his scarlet fire qi onto the shovel and began excavating the Red Copper ore.

n1 hour later, Li Fuchen finally revealed the entire Red Copper ore.

n'3800 kg, plus

/minus 10 kg.'

nLi Fuchen lifted the ore and instantly knew how much this chunk of Red Copper ore weighed.
