Chapter 116: Fourth-level Spirit Seed, Disciple of the Jiyin Ancestor (Additional Update)
The spiritual field of the north mountain of Kuxiu Mountain.

The water mist emitted by the Taiyin Water Element Array enveloped the several acres of spiritual fields in the middle. Through the mist, one could vaguely see the occasional flash of lightning and bursts of thunder.

In a purple five-thunder bamboo forest, Chen An wore a crystal bracelet on his head, and a protective aura enveloped his body to repel the power of thunder and lightning out of his body. His figure shuttled through the forest, and he activated the Five Thunder Curse from time to time. The black Kuishui Yin Thunder was as thick as an arm, and it struck each five-thunder bamboo firmly.

After a busy period, Chen An saw that the Five Thunder Bamboo had almost absorbed all the essence, so he took out some Golden Crow Grass, activated the Soul-Snatching Technique to extract their essence, and then used it to ripen the Five Thunder Bamboo one by one.

In a short while, the five-thunder bamboos in the bamboo forest climbed higher and higher. In the blink of an eye, the oldest five-thunder bamboos were all mature.

[Harvest a 8-year-old five-thunder bamboo, obtain the magical power of the five-thunder spell] *
As several insights and experiences of magical powers poured into his heart, Chen An's understanding of the Five Thunder Curse deepened greatly.

He had a thought and raised his hand. Three lightning bolts of different colors, black, green and red, suddenly appeared in his palm. They were Kuishui Yin Thunder, Yimu Positive Thunder and Binghuo Yang Thunder respectively.

After years of cultivation and harvest, Chen An has mastered three of the Five Thunder Curses. Although he has never used them in combat, the power of the three thunders combined is not something that an ordinary Jindan cultivator can withstand.

Especially for cultivators who are good at using sinister means, even a cultivator with perfect Jindan strength can have all his means destroyed with one strike.

He put away his magical powers and turned to look at the pond. There were hundreds of heavy water lilies in bloom with beautiful lotus flowers. They swayed in the rippling water like shy girls.

On the green lotus leaves, there were accumulated large and small drops of hundreds of years old Yuanshui Dew. Chen An raised his hand and collected them all.

After looking after the spiritual fields, he came to the outer spiritual fields and picked a few Li Shui orchids that were between 200 and 500 years old in the spiritual fields.

After returning to the cave, Chen An took out a 300-year-old Li Shui Lan, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.

The next moment, the power of water and fire in his body suddenly rose up, and he immediately struck while the iron was hot and practiced the Demon Ape Body Refining Technique over and over again.

After hitting it several times, the energy and blood emanating from his body became stronger and stronger. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard a roar of a demon ape from his body.

"Physical training level 2, advanced!"

After consuming countless 200-year-old Li Shui Orchids, when Chen An was about to break through, he used a 300-year-old Li Shui Orchid to successfully break through the Demon Ape Body Refining Technique to the advanced second level.

While Chen An was practicing the Demon Ape's Body Refining Technique over and over again, the cry of the black-haired beast came from outside, and the voice seemed extremely nervous.

Chen An frowned slightly. It was obvious that there were strangers coming to the mountain, otherwise the black-haired beast would not treat it like this.

He stopped practicing, scanned with his spiritual sense, and found that the person coming was Chen Zhan.

"How could this kid bear to come back?"

Chen An chuckled and then sat upright on the cushion in the cave.

Not long after, Chen Zhan's voice was heard from outside: "When did Yunwu Mountain become Kuxiu Mountain, and when did a big black dog appear in Beishan?"

As soon as the voice fell, Chen Zhan's figure came into the cave with the permission of Chen An.

"Chen Zhan, hello to the elder!" Chen Zhan bowed to Chen An.

"It's been almost twenty years since you left the mountain, and you still remember to come back." Chen An said, looking up.

He looked at Chen Zhan. After years of training, the other party's magic ape physical training had already entered the second level.

The progress is pretty good. It seems that a lot of struggle has been put in for resources over the years, but the energy and blood seem to be showing signs of instability.

Moreover, Chen Zhan's forehead was black, and there was something wrong with his physical condition.

"Hehe, I just made a breakthrough in my cultivation, so I came back for you to test it." Chen Zhan said with a smile, scratching his bald head.

"Your cultivation is pretty good. You haven't been lazy in these years."

Chen An looked at his shiny head and couldn't help asking, "How come all your hair is gone?"

The bodies of cultivators are nourished by spiritual energy all year round, so even if they do not practice physical training, they usually do not suffer from hair loss. Usually, this happens because something went wrong in their training or they were injured.

Chen Zhan rubbed his head and said with a forced smile, "Nothing serious. By the way, last time I explored the demon cave, I also got a fourth-level spirit seed and the follow-up method of the Demon Ape Body Refining Technique. I came back this time to give it to you."

He took out a seed that was completely red and emitting blood and energy, as well as a jade slip, and presented them to him.

Chen An's eyes narrowed slightly, he stretched out his hands to take the two objects and examined them carefully.

[An unknown fourth-level spirit species, contaminated by the dead blood of a Nascent Soul monster, has been mostly eroded and needs to be purified as soon as possible]

He also checked the jade slip, which contained the Demon Ape's physical training techniques from level one to level four, as well as a breakthrough method for the fifth level!
Chen An was delighted. Due to Li Shuilan's grade, he could only obtain the second level of skills at most. He had been worrying about how to cultivate the magic ape's physical training skills.

He quietly put away the seeds, his expression playful: "Tell me, what trouble did you get into out there?"

At this time, Chen Zhan could no longer hold on, so he put away his smile and said with a bitter face: "You don't know, a few of my fellow Taoists and I found a cave left behind by a demon cultivator in the Black Wind Mountains. We were about to search it, but a few demon cultivators came outside, and we started fighting with them."

"The demon cultivator on the other side was average in cultivation, but his methods were strange. I was caught off guard and fell for his evil magic. Not only was my body damaged, but all my hair fell out as well."

As Chen Zhan was speaking, he knelt down with a plop and begged, "Elder, please save me! Although my life is not in danger, it will still affect my cultivation."

"You look a bit funny without your hair. How about this?" Chen An teased.

While speaking, he injected a magical power into Chen Zhan's body, exploring the condition of his body.

The five poisons have entered the body and penetrated deep into the bone marrow. Although there is no immediate threat to life due to the strong support of Qi and blood, it will affect life safety if delayed for too long.

The so-called five poisons are Gu poison, miasma poison, plague poison, corpse poison, and evil poison.

The evil sect has a Five Poison Sect, which specializes in practicing the Five Poisons Technique. Its methods are rather strange and often hard to guard against.

It is estimated that Chen Zhan was attacked by disciples of the Five Poison Sect.

"No, Elder!" Chen Zhan looked panicked and kowtowed three more times.

"That's enough. You're almost breaking the cave floor."

Chen An said in a deep voice: "I have a way to save you, but the process is very painful, you have to think it through."

"I'm willing, you can do whatever you want!" Chen Zhan said with joy when he heard that he could still be saved.

"Good! You are worthy of being a son of the Chen family!"

Chen An didn't waste any words. He cast the Five Thunder Curse and released the Bing Fire Yang Thunder. A fiery red lightning suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand.

Just one of the five thunders, the Bing Fire Yang Thunder, is enough to expel the five poisons in the foundation-building period. There is no need to use all three thunders at the same time.

He smiled lightly, put one hand on Chen Zhan's bald head, and with the other hand controlled the Five Thunder Curse to slowly penetrate into Chen Zhan's body.

"Ah! Ah"

The screams like slaughtering a pig resounded throughout the Kuxiu Mountain.

Chen Kebao and Chen Long, who were practicing silently next door, smelled the noise and walked out of their respective caves.

“Is the elder killing a pig?”

"I don't know, but the voice sounds familiar."

As the two were talking, they looked curiously in the direction of Chen An's cave.

"Wang!"

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Zhan was lying in the cave, like mud, slowly exhaling black air from his mouth.

The black-haired beast next to him bared its teeth and glared at him fiercely.

Chen An glanced at him and ignored him. This guy couldn't die yet, so it would be good to let him suffer a little so that he could learn his lesson.

Stepping out of the cave, Chen An took out the fourth-level spirit seed that was contaminated by the dead blood of the Nascent Soul monster.

The blood energy that was surging into the sky had already deeply eroded the spirit seed, and he had no way to deal with it, but the Fantasy Demon Grass loved to absorb the blood energy of monsters, so perhaps he could give it a try.

He buried the spirit seed in the soil under a patch of phantom grass, and scanned it with his spiritual sense, only to find that there was no movement at all.

After waiting for a full hour, there was still dead silence. "No hurry, let's observe for a while first."

Chen An was busy for a while and left the spiritual field.

He found that Chen Zhan had been sitting at the stone table, chatting with Chen Kebao and Chen Long.

Chen Kebao smiled and pulled Chen Long, and enthusiastically introduced him to Chen Zhan: "Brother, let me introduce you, this is your third uncle."

Chen Long reached out and touched Chen Zhan's bald head, and said kindly, "You must be my second nephew, come and call me uncle."

Chen Zhan looked at Chen Long in confusion and asked, "When did I have a third uncle?"

Chen An shook his head, no longer paying attention to the three people, and turned back to the cave.

one year later.

In the Jiyin Sect, Wan Zhenshan and a handsome, almost weird young man sat opposite each other.

Ding Feiming looked at Wan Zhenshan and asked, "Where is Master?"

"He was seriously injured in the last battle with the Black Wind Mountains and is still recovering. He asked me to tell you specifically to go to the Qingyun Territory to investigate the matter of the Fantasy Demon Grass after you come out of seclusion. He is afraid that the Six Territories of the Far East will use this method again, so the hidden danger must be eliminated!" Wan Zhenshan said in a cold voice.

The six regions of the Far East were originally in the pocket of their Jiyin Sect, but they never expected that the other party would use the strategy of driving away the wolf and swallowing the tiger, and severely damaged the Jiyin ancestor. This made Wan Zhenshan hate the other party very much.

"Okay, I understand. I'll leave as soon as I'm ready."

Ding Feiming didn't care about the injuries of Ancestor Ji Yin. In his opinion, the value of Ancestor Ji Yin had been greatly reduced after the injury, and he was no longer qualified to continue to be his master.

After he lets the other party help him condense his infant, he will be completely useless. Then the Jiyin Sect will belong to him!

"By the way, what is the strength of Qingyun Sect?" Qingyun Sect was too inconspicuous, and Ding Feiming had never paid attention to the situation of Qingyun Sect.

"The one with the highest cultivation level is the leader of Qingyun Sect, True Man Qingshan, whose cultivation level is the fourth level of Jindan!"

Ding Feiming said with disdain: "A bunch of trash, they can't even handle a sect at the fourth level of the Jindan level, and I have to do it myself."

Ascetic mountain.

That day, the black-haired beast was running in the North Mountain, hurriedly entered the cave, came in front of Chen An, and wagged its thick black tail.

Chen An took a look and saw that it was holding a secret letter in its mouth, and also a storage bag. From the restrictions on it, he knew that it was sent by Chen Fengshuo.

He took the secret letter and opened it.

After Zhao Hu left, Chen Fengshuo took charge of the Yinmo Sect alone, and using the resources he had raised his cultivation to the seventh level of foundation building!

After the breakthrough, he immediately infiltrated the Xuanming Sect with his power. Currently, he has already controlled half of the Xuanming Sect's foundation-building magic cultivators. As long as there is enough time, it will not be a problem to control them all.

Chen An frowned slightly. He had not realized before that Chen Fengshuo had such ability and was actually doing so well in the magic world.

It would have been a waste of his talent if he continued to stay in the mountain. Fortunately, he was sent to the demon sect as an undercover agent. Looking back now, this decision was really a wise one.

At the same time, he was also looking forward to giving Chen Fengshuo some time and support to see how far this guy could grow.

After pondering for a moment, Chen An silently opened the storage bag.

He discovered that there was only a pitch-black third-level spirit seed inside, which was icy cold to the touch. This was the Ghost Fire Nether Leaf mentioned in Chen Fengshuo's letter, which he found in the Xuanming Sect.

Chen An found a gap in the third-level spiritual field, planted the Ghost Fire Nether Leaf, and ignored it.

This spiritual plant needs evil energy such as yin energy or dead energy to grow, which he simply does not have.

It seems that I still need to contact Chen Fengshuo and ask him to go to Xuanming Sect to get some Yin Qi, ghost Qi or the like and send it over.

Immediately, Chen An wrote a letter stating his purpose and asked Chen Wen to deliver it to the spiritual bird that was delivering the letter.

Chen Wen had just left when Chen Zhan asked for a meeting.

After a year, the five poisonous energies in his body were completely eliminated, thick hair grew on his head, and he returned to his original appearance.

Chen An said calmly: "Since your body has recovered, why don't you practice hard and come to my place?"

After spending many times together, the black-haired beast no longer had any hostility towards Chen Zhan. It lay quietly beside him, only looking up at him once, just like it did to Chen Kebao and Chen Long.

"Elder, I'm here to say goodbye." Chen Zhan bowed.

The scar has healed and the pain has been forgotten.

Chen An waved his hand and uttered one word: "Get lost!"

He knew that quiet training was not suitable for Chen Zhan. Instead, going out for training could stimulate his potential and allow him to grow in battle.

"Then I'll go. Xiao Zhan will try to bring you a few more spirit seeds next time."

After leaving a few words, Chen Zhan bid farewell to Chen An, went down Yunwu Mountain, and flew all the way north.

Black Wind Mountain.

A young man in black crossed the Black Wind Mountain and appeared on the north side of the mountain.

Ding Feiming glanced at the Qingyun Sect area and couldn't help but frowned and said, "How can we find the Magic Grass in such a large area?"

"Why not find a local monk and interrogate him first?"

He did not hide his figure at all and went straight to the heartland of Qingyun Sect in the north.

"Huh? Why is there a green-tailed phoenix here?"

A spiritual bird flew by in the distance. Judging from its direction, it came from Qingyun Sect and headed to Black Wind Mountain.

Ding Feiming knew that this kind of spiritual bird had no fighting ability, but was very good at traveling long distances and was generally used as a means of transportation.

Looking closely, the blue-tailed phoenix actually had a storage bag in its mouth.

Ding Feiming's eyes were cold and he grabbed the empty space with his palm and sucked the green-tailed phoenix in, holding its neck in his hand.

"Oh oh oh"

No matter how Qingweiluan struggled, she could not escape his grasp.

Ding Feiming took the storage bag with his other hand, opened it and found a secret letter inside.

There is a restriction on it. If you don't know how to crack it, forcing it open will destroy the letter.

"Clumsy tricks, let me show you how to defeat you!"

He simply sat down cross-legged and fiddled with the secret letter, using all his tricks to think of a way to decipher it.

After finding no results, he took out a few green stones, arranged them into a formation, and placed the secret letter among them.

He lightly tapped his finger, and the bluestone light shone brightly, gathering in the middle and slowly dispelling the restrictions on the secret letter.

After several hours, Ding Feiming held the secret letter that removed the restriction in his hand and sneered, "You have some tricks, but that's all."

He immediately opened the secret letter.

His expression suddenly became interesting, and he cursed: "I didn't pay attention when I came here. I didn't expect that the Yin Demon Sect would be controlled by a small Qingyun Sect family. What a waste!"

"Go and take a look. Maybe we can get some information about the Magical Grass."

Ding Feiming stood up with a gloomy face and leaped towards the direction where the Qingwei Luan was flying.
