Chapter 120: Fourth-level Spiritual Plant Yu Linglong, Third-level Physical Training
After spending a few days consolidating his cultivation, Chen An released his spiritual sense to scan outside.

Chen Shuang was busy outside the cave, taking care of the nearby flowers, plants and trees. The flowers were in full bloom and the cave was full of vitality.

Chen An occasionally helped her sort out the imbalanced yin and yang energy, and the situation was temporarily stabilized.

The second-level spiritual land of Nanshan has added a few unfamiliar faces again.

Since Chen Qing took over the family business and implemented new systems, the family's development has gradually taken shape.

Moreover, based on the inheritance obtained from Qingyun Sect, many four-arts cultivators were born, and the low-level cultivation resources can be completely self-sufficient.

Among those who are building the foundation, Chen Kebao's cultivation is closest to forming the elixir. He has already built the ninth level of the foundation. Once it is completed, he can prepare to form the elixir.

"Fellow Daoist Chen!"

Xin Fenghai's voice suddenly came from outside the mountain.

The two have been in close contact in recent years, and Chen An has learned a lot of information about Lihuo Palace from him.

For example, Cui Shuo was jealous, and many Jindan realms in the sect did not obey him, which led to the division of the top leaders into several factions.

Apart from a few of their fellow disciples, who cooperated out of respect for their master, Patriarch Lihuo, their other trusted people were relatively few, and they could not mobilize the power of the entire sect.

"Friend Xin, I wonder who these people are."

Chen An looked at the four people beside Xin Fenghai. The leader was a burly man with a full beard, and his cultivation had reached the perfect stage of Jindan.

The other three were slightly inferior, but all of them had the ninth level of Jindan cultivation.

The burly man had a stern face and said, "I am Wu Jianquan. I heard that you have great cultivation, so I came to visit you."

"So you are my martial arts friend, I have heard of your great name for a long time!"

Chen An bowed and said, Wu Jianquan is the eldest senior brother of Cui Shuosheng and Xin Fenghai, the strongest one, and the number one person under the Lihuo Patriarch.

After a few greetings, the other party revealed the real purpose of his visit.

Wu Jianquan took out four animal skin maps and asked, "Does Daoist friend know anything about this?"

"I don't know him." Chen An responded calmly.

He remained calm on the surface, but he could recognize that these four animal skin maps were exactly the same as the one Chen Yu presented to him, except for the patterns.

But he didn't know the other party's intention, and he didn't dare to tell the truth.

"This map belongs to a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage from Dongzhou. He left five copies of the map before his death, waiting for the descendants who are destined to have them. Fellow Daoist, you know how valuable the legacy of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage is." Wu Jianquan stared at Chen An, observing his every move, even the subtle changes in his expression.

"If we can get one tenth or one twelfth of the treasures of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, it can increase the hope of Jindan cultivators like us to form a Nascent Soul stage." Chen An said lightly.

"Yes, but unfortunately I only have four. Recently, I heard about your killing of Ding Feiming. His methods must be extraordinary. I specially invite you to find the fifth map together, so that we can explore the hidden treasure together and look for the opportunity to condense the Infant!"

After Wu Jianquan finished speaking, he waited quietly for Chen An's response.

Chen An thought for a moment and refused, "I still have to stay in Black Wind Mountain to guard against the demon cultivators. Master Qingshan is not strong enough, so I am afraid I can't leave."

"This"

Wu Jianquan couldn't find a reason to continue the invitation. After all, what Chen An said was true, and it was not a good idea to insist at the moment.

"In this case, Black Wind Mountain will rely on you, fellow Daoist."

He bowed, said something, and left with the three people beside him.

After they walked away, one of the fellow disciples said worriedly, "What should we do, Senior Brother? That kid doesn't seem to be fooled."

"Second Brother asked us to lure him out and quietly take control of Kuxiu Mountain so as to restrain Chen An, but he was not moved at all."

"How about trying a strong attack?"

Wu Jianquan snorted coldly and said, "Forced attack? Didn't you see his mountain protection formation?"

"He may not want to go because our map is incomplete and he is afraid of wasting time. How about this? You and I will go find the fifth map. As long as we have all the hidden maps, there is no need to worry that he will not come out."

The three agreed, "That makes sense. Let's get going without further delay."

Practice hard outside the mountain.

Xin Fenghai thanked and said, "It's a good thing that you didn't go with them, otherwise..."

"What else?" Chen An couldn't help but ask when he saw that the other party was halfway through his words.

"After all, I am also a disciple of the Lihuo Palace, so I can't tell you too much. You just need to know to guard the Kuxiu Mountain and never go out."

After leaving a few words, Xin Fenghai left.

Chen An smiled lightly, how could he not know what the other party meant.

Guarding the mountain of asceticism?
This is to use the Chen family's foundation to indirectly control him.

Chen An returned to Beishan and came to Lingtian.

After a quick glance, he found that the energy and blood of the fourth-level spirit seed had all been absorbed by the Phantom Demon Grass.

In the soil, a crystal clear seed as white as jade lies there.

[Yu Linglong, a fourth-level spiritual plant, a six-hundred-year-old Yu Linglong can condense Linglong essence, and growth requires the nourishment of yin and yang energy]

Chen An was slightly stunned. He needed the nourishment of yin and yang energy?
He turned around and called out to the outside of the spiritual field: "Shuang'er, come here."

"coming!"

"Elder, I have renovated the area around the cave and it will be finished soon."

Chen Shuang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said obediently.

Ever since Chen Wen and Chen Rou went to the second-level spiritual land, this job was given to Chen Shuang alone.

Chen An threw a cushion near Yu Linglong and said, "Try sitting here and see if there are any changes."

Although Chen Shuang was confused and didn't know what the intention was, Chen An often helped her sort out the imbalanced yin and yang energy, which relieved her daily pain a lot. Chen Shuang still trusted Chen An very much.

She immediately stopped being pretentious, gathered her skirt and gently sat cross-legged on the mat.

"Is there anything unusual?"

Chen Shuang closed his eyes and felt it for a while, then frowned and said, "Nothing has changed."

Chen An pondered for a moment and said, "You can practice your skills here and give it a try. Don't worry, I will be fine here."

"it is good."

Chen Shuang did not hesitate and immediately started practicing the skills that he had not practiced for ten years. He had great trust in Chen An.

As expected, as the technique worked, the yin and yang energy in her body began to become unbalanced again.

But the difference is that Chen An did not intervene.

Instead, he watched the yin and yang energy in her body overflow from her body, slowly sink into the soil, and drill into the Yu Linglong seed.

After wandering around, it rose above the soil and returned to Chen Shuang's body, forming a complete cycle.

"Looks like there's hope!" A hint of surprise flashed across Chen An's eyes.

After several cycles, the turmoil in Chen Shuang's body gradually stabilized.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and said in surprise, "I can practice without losing balance between yin and yang!"

Chen An was in a good mood and said, "You should practice here from now on." He was happy to see the two complement each other.
Chen Shuang hurriedly sat up, leaned forward and knelt, saying: "Thank you for your kindness, Elder. Shuang'er is willing to serve you forever!"

Chen An smiled with satisfaction, and then an invisible force lifted him up, and whispered: "Get up, practice well in the future, your physical problem will be solved, and your potential will be comparable to the best spiritual roots. After Chen Kebao, maybe you will be the next Jindan cultivator of the Chen family."

After arranging Chen Shuang's training, Chen An returned to the cave.

With a thought, a 300-year-old Li Shui Orchid flew out of the storage bag. He put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and dissolved it with his magic power.

The Demon Ape's physical training began to work, and the energy of his qi and blood surged into the sky.

I don’t know how much time had passed, and I don’t know how many plants of Li Shui Lan I took.

The power of water and fire in Chen An's body grew to the extreme and actually rushed to his heart at the same time. They began to slowly condense into a ball, connecting from beginning to end, gradually presenting a fusion of water and fire.

A large amount of qi and blood power suddenly released from his heart, flowing to his limbs and bones, slowly nourishing his entire body.

However, it did not take long before the process slowed down, most of the Qi and blood were consumed, and the fusion of water and fire tended to stagnate.

Chen An calmly took a thousand-year-old Li Shui Lan to provide support.

With the help of the medicinal power of this plant of Li Shui Lan, the power of water and fire intensified, and Chen An's skin gradually changed, emitting a faint crystal luster, like jade.

After taking ten plants in a row and digesting the huge medicinal power, the power of water and fire completely dissolved in the body and disappeared. Chen An's body made a loud bang and a huge shadow of a demon ape slowly emerged behind him.

Immediately, the shadow slowly shrank to the same size as Chen An, and the two gradually merged into one.

Inside the cave, a force of physical strength so strong that it made the entire mountain tremble swept across.

"After decades of physical training, I finally reached the third level!"

Chen An felt the strength of his body that seemed to be able to move mountains above sea level, and a smile of sweet success appeared on his face.

"Wang!"

While he was testing his own strength, he heard the cry of a black-haired beast outside.

It ran in with a letter and a red seed in its mouth and handed them to Chen An.

Chen An saw at a glance that the letter was from Chen Fengshuo, so he immediately took it and opened it.

The letter was delivered by Chen Fengshuo himself. He has now reached the ninth level of foundation building and it won’t be long before he can form a pill.

And after years of hard work, he has completely taken control of the Xuanming Sect.

The seed in his hand was also secretly collected during recent contact with other demons and sent to Chen An.

After closing the letter, Chen An was quite pleased and said, "This guy is born to be a magic cultivator."

At the same time, he was thinking, if he could kill the Old Ancestor Ji Yin in the future, would this kid be able to unify the demonic sects near the Black Wind Mountains?
[Blood Soul Immortal, a fourth-level spiritual seed, an auxiliary spiritual plant for practicing the Blood Demonic Path. The spiritual seed must be planted in a living being in order to survive.]

Chen An felt a chill in his heart. Planted in the body of a living being?

This is not limited to cultivators, it should also apply to monsters.

"I can't find a suitable planting target right now, so let's talk about it later."

The method of growing this spiritual seed is rather cruel, and he doesn't want to just capture someone to harm him. Let's wait and see if there's any blind demon coming to cause trouble in the future.

After putting away the Blood Soul Fairy Seed, Chen An stepped out of the cave and came to the spiritual field.

Except for the area near the Yu Linglong plant, all other places in the spiritual field were shrouded in a hazy halo, making it impossible to see the real situation inside.

Chen Shuang, who was sitting cross-legged on a cushion practicing, did not notice that Chen An had entered the spiritual field and continued to practice silently.

Ever since he was able to rely on Yu Linglong to practice last time, Chen Shuang quickly broke through the foundation-building stage.

After the fasting, perhaps for the first time, I felt that I could practice without any worries, so I stayed in the spiritual field and have not taken a single step out since then.

Chen An was quite satisfied with this. Her physique seemed to complement Yu Linglong, and the two achieved mutual success.

As Chen Shuang's cultivation level improves, he can nourish Yu Linglong better. As the latter gets older, although it cannot solve the problem once and for all, it can also better stabilize her physical condition.

"It seems that only after the Infant Condensation can the problem of the Dragon Roar Body be completely solved."

Chen An did not disturb Chen Shuang's practice. He turned around and walked into other areas of the spiritual field and came to the Ghost Fire Nether Leaf.

The eerie black and green spiritual plant was covered with a layer of faint blue light, like a ghost fire.

[Harvest a 60-year-old Ghost Fire Leaf and obtain the magical Ghost Fire of the Netherworld]

Chen An's mind moved, and a ball of ghostly blue fire rose in his palm, blue on the outside and black on the inside. After several waves of harvesting, four black lines had appeared in the center of the ghostly blue fire, like tadpoles swimming constantly.

Unlike ordinary flames, the temperature emitted by this fire was as cold as frost. In just a moment, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply and a layer of frost covered the surface of the soil.

After putting away the fire and taking care of the spiritual field, Chen An returned to the cave.

He took out a blank jade slip and recorded the method of practicing the Netherworld Ghost Fire on it.

Immediately, he took out a jade bottle, and after opening it, there was a wisp of natural ghost fire in it, or it could be said that it was harvested from thirty-year-old ghost fire leaves.

If you want to practice the ghost fire magic, this flame is indispensable.

Putting the jade slip and ten jade bottles into a storage bag, Chen An used his telepathic consciousness to call Chen Kebao, who was cultivating in the second-level spiritual land.

After handing the storage bag to the other party, he ordered: "Chen Fengshuo has not left yet. He is waiting somewhere in Black Wind Mountain. Go and give this thing to him."

After getting the specific location, Chen Kebao took the order and left.

Chen Fengshuo is about to form a pill, which is a good opportunity for him to practice the Netherworld Ghost Fire.

In addition, there is another point. Once the other party has formed the elixir and practices it, he will need a constant supply of natural ghost fire to assist him, and then he will no longer be able to do without Chen An.

This is also an effective means of control.

A few hours later, Chen Kebao came back to report:

"After Chen Fengshuo got the storage bag, he was very surprised and asked me to bring back a message. He will continue to collect spirit seeds in the Demonic Path and devour other sects in the future, and become a magic sword for you in the Demonic Path."

Chen An was not surprised, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, you are about to form a pill, go back and practice quickly, and come to Beishan to break through after you have completed your foundation building."

"Okay!" Chen Kebao left happily.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, four Jindan cultivators came to visit from outside Kuxiu Mountain.

Chen An felt these four auras were somewhat familiar; they were Wu Jianquan and the others.

"My fellow Taoists have been searching for treasures for several years. I believe you have returned triumphantly." Chen An came out of the mountain and bowed to them.

After hearing this, Wu Jianquan's face darkened. In the past few years, not to mention treasure hunting, he hadn't even seen the fifth treasure map.

A fellow disciple behind him sent a voice message to him: "Big Brother, let's not worry about our reputation. Let's just follow our previous plan and fight here. Although this man has good skills, he is definitely no match for the four of us brothers working together."

Wu Jianquan nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to a cold one, and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I've heard that you are very powerful, but I've never seen it. My four fellow disciples and I have come here today to learn a few moves. You won't refuse, right?"

Chen An's eyes were deep. These four people came with great force, and they were probably going to seize Kuxiu Mountain and use it to temporarily control him.

He said calmly: "It's not impossible to have a competition, but we can't waste our energy. Why don't everyone give us some extras?"

"What else do you want? If you lose the storage bag, it will belong to the four of us brothers!"
