Chapter 115: Physical Training Breakthrough, Jiyin Sect's Actions

Extreme Yin Gate.

The old ancestor Ji Yin, whose breath was weak and whose strength had been reduced to the first level of the Nascent Soul stage, looked at the two magic grasses in front of him with a dark face and veins bulging on his forehead.

"Who is it! Who is plotting against the ancestor?"

The Phantom Demon Grass was discovered from the Blood Demon Sect next door. After seeing it, he guessed that someone must have secretly placed the Phantom Demon Grass there to take the opportunity to lure in several demon kings in an attempt to wipe out his entire family!
This battle was extremely fierce, and it was so intense that it was dark and chaotic. In the end, both sides lost a Nascent Soul each. If he had not just broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul and possessed many magical powers and secret techniques to save his life, he would probably have been killed this time!

Even so, his cultivation level fell to the Nascent Soul stage because he used the secret method to save his life.

"It must be the old monster Lihuo!"

Apart from the old monster Lihuo, he really couldn't think of anyone else who was involved in this matter.

"Cough cough."

When Patriarch Ji Yin thought about the fact that his opponent had succeeded in his plan, he became so furious that his injury was aggravated and a mouthful of black blood spurted out of his mouth.

"When I recover from my injuries, I will definitely take your head to relieve this hatred!" said the old ancestor Ji Yin gritting his teeth.

In front of the cave.

Chen An looked at the charred corpse of the demon in front of him with a little surprise. He then looked at Chen Qing who was taking out the corpses one by one, and felt an indescribable weirdness in his heart.

"These are the evil cultivators who attacked the market town. Relying on that third-order formation, Da Zhuang, Zi Shun and I took some effort to kill them. I knew they were all excellent fertilizers, so I sent them all here." Chen Qing said with lingering fear as he looked at the corpses all over the ground.

"Okay then." Chen An felt helpless. It seemed that everyone knew his preferences.

"Just put it here. Go take care of the business in the market first. I'll find someone to handle it later."

Chen An waved his hand and sent Chen Qing away.

Then he called Chen Kebao out and asked him to bury the demon cultivator in the second-level spiritual field. If a few more Jindan demon cultivators came, those acres of spiritual fields would almost be advanced to the third level.

"This kid will probably reach Dan in a few years. Unfortunately, even though the Chen family has several cultivation techniques for the foundation-building period, they don't have any method for Dan."

Chen An thought to himself that spiritual plants that could be used to grow martial arts techniques were very rare. Over the years, Chen Qing had collected a lot of different kinds of second-level spiritual plants, and had managed to grow four martial arts techniques: Jianmu Tongtian Method, Hanzhu Sword Technique, Hanhai Jinsha Gong, and Wuxing Zhen Gong, which could directly lead to the stage of Jindan.

The potential of second-level spiritual plants is limited, and at most they can only gain cultivation techniques for the foundation-building period. But fortunately, they are not incomplete and all have methods for forming a pill, but there are no subsequent techniques.

However, third-level spirit seeds are not easy to obtain. There are only a few kinds of spirit seeds in the secret realm of Yunwu Valley, and Chen An collected them all. Even the Qingyun Sect did not have any extra ones. After all, Master Qingshan did not delve into this.

"I have the skills, but I don't have the alchemy talisman formation weapon to pass on. It seems that I can't put all my hopes on the third-level spiritual plants. I still have to ask Master Qingshan for help when I have a chance."

Chen An smiled lightly, turned around and went back to the cave, then took the Yuanshui Dew condensed from the sixty-year-old heavy water lotus.

Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In addition to cultivation, with the uninterrupted supply of Li Shui Lan for two hundred years, Chen An's Demon Ape Body Refining Technique has also reached the middle stage of the second level, and his physical body is comparable to a mid-grade spiritual weapon!
The resources consumed during this period could probably buy several current Chen families!
A few days after his breakthrough, Xin Fenghai came to Kuxiu Mountain to say goodbye, and Zhenren Qingshan and Zhenren Jinguang also came to see him off.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, the demon clan has raided the Jiyin Sect. Currently, the life of the Jiyin Patriarch is hanging by a thread. They no longer have the strength to invade our Jidong Six Regions. The Qingyun Region is also safe, so there is no need for me to continue defending it."

Xin Fenghai said goodbye to his three fellow disciples.

"Ancestor Ji Yin is not dead yet?"

Chen An was surprised in his heart, but he felt relieved after thinking about it. As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he must have many tricks, and it is normal to have one or two ways to save his life.

The opponent is now seriously injured and cannot be cured, and the Jiyin Sect has also suffered heavy losses. It is estimated that before he condenses his infant, the Jiyin Sect will have no energy to mess with the Six Regions of the Far East.

"Qingyun Territory is a barren place with thin spiritual energy. It would be better to go back as soon as possible."

Chen An bowed and said, "Before I leave, I would like to thank you for defending Qingyun Territory day and night, which prevented the demon cultivators from taking advantage of the opportunity."

Xin Fenghai smiled awkwardly and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are too modest. We are just following orders. Besides, we didn't help much with Chiyan Huolin and the few demon cultivators who sneaked in during the chaos. Qingyun Territory can be what it is today only because of your skills."

As the two were talking here, Master Qingshan stood aside with a slightly embarrassed expression. As the apparent controller of the Qingyun Domain, his own safety still depended on his immortal cultivation family, and he was probably the only one in the six domains of the Far East who could do the same.

After they said a few words before leaving, Xin Fenghai and his fellow disciples leaped up into the air, transformed into a beam of light, and headed straight to the north.

"Fellow Daoist Xin has left. My mission has come to an end. I will not stay any longer. Take care, fellow Daoists!"

When Master Qingshan and Master Jinguang saw each other leave, they also planned to leave.

Chen An quietly winked at Master Qingshan, asking him to stay.

"Fellow Taoist, take care."

After saying goodbye, they were the only two left in Black Wind Mountain. Immortal Qingshan asked curiously, "Why did you let me stay?"

Chen An smiled and narrowed his eyes. He took out three bottles of thirty-year-old Yuanshui Lu and said, "Here are thirty drops of Yuanshui Lu. Please accept them, fellow Taoist."

"Yuan Shui Lu?"

Taoist Qingshan's eyes sparkled, and he seemed to be salivating, but he did not take it. Instead, he said cautiously, "What's the matter, fellow Taoist, why don't you just tell me directly?"

"It's nothing serious. I just want to exchange for your sect's Danfu array weapon inheritance."

Chen An said frankly that as for the inheritance of martial arts skills, he was afraid that the other party might have left some secret door, so he did not ask for it. Besides, since it was related to his own cultivation method, the other party might not give it to him even if he asked for it.

"This"

Master Qingshan was a little hesitant. According to the Chen family's development speed, it would not take many years before they would run into a bottleneck due to inheritance issues.

Instead of letting Chen An "take it" by himself, it would be better to exchange it for some resources now.

Even though he was reluctant to give up the inheritance, he was intimidated by Chen An's power and had to reluctantly agree: "Okay, I can trade the inheritance of the alchemy, talisman, and formation tools of my Qingyun Sect with you. It just so happens that I sorted out a copy of the classics a few days ago and haven't processed it yet, so I can give it to you now."

After saying that, he took out four jade slips and threw them over.

"Thank you."

Chen An's face lit up with joy. Since he had the rubbing here, it meant it was the real inheritance and he had no time to tamper with it.

With a quick scan with his spiritual sense, he found that it only contained the inheritance of the Qi training period and there was no follow-up.

"You are not a real fellow, and your inheritance is not complete." Chen An said coldly.

"You want to exchange my entire inheritance for just thirty drops of Yuanshui Lu? You are taking it for granted, fellow Daoist."

Master Qingshan said with an expression that said, "You gave me too little." He said, "The remaining inheritance is one hundred drops."

He suddenly noticed Chen An's cold eyes, and a chill ran down his back. He hurriedly changed his words and said, "Seventy, no, fifty drops will be enough!"

Chen An's expression eased a little, and he took out seven bottles of Yuanshui Lu: "I won't take advantage of you, seventy drops are enough!"

He traded the remaining inheritance and waved his hand to send the other party away.

After returning to Beishan, he asked Chen Wen to call Chen Qing over. Taking this opportunity, Chen An took out a blank jade slip and recorded all the Qi Refining and Foundation Building techniques he had learned on it.

The skills he learned were all top-notch at the same level, and even Qingyun Sect had few that could match them.

As for the Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation, he did not record it. This technique was extremely difficult to practice. If he had not mastered it to perfection, he would probably still be stuck in the initial stage of foundation building.

Inheriting the legacy rashly would cause people to waste their time and might be detrimental to the family.

Not long after, the black-haired beast led Chen Qing to the cave.

This little guy is quite human-like. He patrols the mountain from time to time, sniffing out suspicious scents. Then, he follows Chen Wen's example and leads familiar people who come to pay their respects on the mountain into the cave.

Chen An gave him the inheritance, the technique, and a few jade slips that he had just recorded, and said, "This is the inheritance of the Dan Fu array weapon, and there are also a few Dan formation techniques. You can take them and deal with them yourself."

Chen Qing hurriedly took it and said happily: "I have been collecting Dan Fu Zhenqi inheritances everywhere recently, but most of them are from the Qi training stage, and most of them are incomplete."

After receiving the jade slip, Chen Qing reported on the business situation of the market town and planned to hand over the market town to Chen Dazhuang and Chen Zishun while he concentrated on running the family.

In recent years, the market and the family have developed rapidly, and there is a shortage of people, but the monks cannot supply them. I am afraid that in a few years, they will fall into a development bottleneck.

Now that we have the skills and the four arts passed down, the output of Yunwu Valley and the market has been steadily increasing. It is a good time to continue to expand the family.

Then, he told Chen An about his ideas on improving the family system. As the clan's population has increased, they can no longer manage it in the same extensive way as before.

A merit system can be implemented. As long as you contribute to the family, you can gain merit, which can be exchanged for skills and resources.

To put it bluntly, it is to change the name, fix the details and appropriate the system of Qingyun Sect.

Chen An nodded and said, "Yes, it would be good to improve it, so as to avoid unnecessary troubles when there are too many people in the future. You can discuss the details with the other people, and you don't need to discuss it with me later."

He knew that this was enough and didn't want to get too involved in the details.

Striving to condense an infant as soon as possible is better than anything else.

After explaining everything clearly, Chen Qing left.

Time passes year by year.

The hundreds of heavy water lilies in the pond are over a hundred years old.

Relying on the condensed hundred-year-old Yuanshui Dew, Chen An's cultivation progressed steadily.

Until this day, his aura suddenly rose, and his cultivation broke through to the fifth level of Jindan!

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The black-haired roaring beast, which had grown larger in size, surrounded Chen An, wagging its thick black tail non-stop, as if celebrating its master's breakthrough in cultivation.

Chen An stroked its head a few times and threw out a second-level spiritual medicine.

The black-haired beast jumped up with its legs, took the elixir steadily in its mouth, then lay in a corner of the cave, wagging its tail and enjoying it silently.

The black-haired hound will not eat anything other than spiritual medicine. When it reaches adulthood, it requires spiritual medicines that are of a certain age. It is extremely picky, but this is nothing to Chen An, who can afford to raise as many spiritual medicines as he wants.

I originally planned to ripen the Fantasy Demon Grass and then give it to my family to raise. However, after practicing hard alone for these years, I felt it was good to have several spirit beasts as company, so I kept it by my side.

Chen An stood up, left the cave and came to the spiritual field.

Somehow, several demons who had reached the Jindan stage have sneaked in from the Black Wind Mountain in recent years. Even though he dealt with them one by one, buried them in the spiritual fields, and made all the spiritual fields advance to the third level, Chen An still had a frown on his face.

It was very abnormal that demon cultivators kept sneaking in. He suspected that the demons were holding back and would definitely not let go of what happened before.

Even though he is very powerful now and ordinary Jindan cultivators are no match for him, he still has to respond.

A voice transmission called out Chen Kebao and Chen Long.

Chen Long is the son of Chen Qing. He possesses superior spiritual roots. After turning sixteen, he only practiced for a few years in Beishan and already had the foundation of cultivation.

Looking at Chen Kebao again, his cultivation has reached the eighth level of foundation building, and he is about to complete the foundation building. After that, he can prepare for the formation of the elixir.

Chen An was satisfied with the progress of the two's cultivation. He waved his hand and gave them a few bottles of second-level elixirs to encourage them to form pills as soon as possible.

He also promised that when Chen Kebao completed his foundation building, he would give him the Crystal Condensing Pill to help him form the pill.

Chen Kebao was overjoyed and bowed quickly to express his gratitude.

"Hehe, my dear nephew, you have to work hard to cultivate and form a pill as soon as possible, or your uncle will catch up with you in a few years."

Chen Long had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a handsome face. When he saw Chen An returning to the cave, he reached out and patted Chen Kebao on the shoulder, reminding him playfully.

He is Chen Qing's third son, and Chen Kebao is the son of Chen Qing's second son. The latter should call the former uncle.

Chen Kebao's face darkened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he slapped the other's palm away, saying: "There is a seven-level difference between you and me, so it's not that easy to catch up. I'm not far from the Jindan stage. Third Uncle, don't worry about me and pay more attention to yourself."

Chen An had just promised him that as long as he completed his foundation building, he would give him a crystal-condensing pill to assist him in forming the pill.

Chen Kebao was extremely excited. This was a supreme elixir that aided in forming the elixir. Which foundation-building cultivator would not desire to possess one?
But what made him depressed was that Chen Long was older than him in terms of seniority. He was in his forties, but he still had to call this young boy in his twenties "uncle".

"My dear nephew, what's the point of practicing hard all day? Why don't you follow me down the mountain and I will take you to experience the local customs and culture." Chen Long tempted.

"No, I won't leave the mountain until I have formed a pill!"

Chen An heard the conversation between the two people in the cave and could not help but shake his head slightly. He thought to himself that he was thinking about going down the mountain after forming the Dan, and his determination to practice was still not firm enough.

Extreme Yin Gate.

in the secret room.

Ancestor Ji Yin listened to Wan Zhenshan in front of him reporting on the situation in the six regions of the Far East. His face, which had originally been a little rosy due to his recovery from injuries, became even more gloomy.

"Is the information you have collected true?" He fixed his eyes and asked in a cold tone.

Wan Zhenshan said in fear and trepidation, "It is true! Over the years, I have sent people to Black Wind Mountain several times, hoping to sneak into the Far East Six Regions from here to investigate the matter of the Illusion Demon Grass. However, the people I sent were like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no movement at all."

"Moreover, I also found out that there were other demon cultivators who crossed Black Wind Mountain before, but they all disappeared without a trace and no follow-up. It seems that the Yin Demon Sect's leader Duan Tianya is also the same."

The eyes of the Ji Yin Patriarch were blazing as he speculated, "These people should be dead. The Yin Demon Sect is only separated from the Far East Six Regions by the Black Wind Mountain. The Lihuo Palace would have set up defenses here, so it is normal for a few small fish to die. As for the Yin Demon Sect, it is a mere Jindan sect, so there is no need to worry about it."

He then said, "But we have to continue investigating the matter of the Illusion Demon Grass. If the Far East Six Regions do something like this again, our Jiyin Sect will be completely finished!"

"But sending someone there would be a way to die. How about this. After Ding Feiming comes out of retreat, he doesn't have to come to see me. I will just have him go to the Far East Six Regions to investigate this matter. If he finds the Magic Demon Grass, he must destroy it at any cost!"

Wan Zhenshan immediately accepted the order: "Yes, Ancestor!"
