Chapter 124 Dragon Blood Grass, Seventh Level of Dan Formation
Ignoring the Chen family in Lihuo Domain, Chen An concentrated on practicing hard in the cave, trying to break through the seventh level of Jindan in one go.
That day, the black-haired fox brought Chen Qing in from outside happily.
"Speak!" Chen An said concisely.
"Well, Chen Weiyang and the other two want to see you. Of course, it doesn't matter whether you meet them or not. They won't say anything. As for their purpose of coming here, Chen Kebao and I are enough to deal with it."
Chen Qing said that after so many years of getting along, he knew Chen An's personality very well. As long as he could practice, he would never step out of the cave.
Chen An thought for a moment and said, "Then let's meet them. You take them to the top of the mountain and I'll be there soon."
This is the second time the other party has asked to meet Chen An recently.
Chen An felt that Chen Weiyang's purpose of coming to Kuxiu Mountain was not just because of the order from Lihuo Palace. Otherwise, if he really wanted to fight for power and muddy the waters for the Hui people, the less he showed up, the more beneficial it would be for Chen Weiyang, and he would not have come to see him again and again.
"Okay!" Chen Qing responded and left the cave.
After a while, Chen An first came to the spiritual field and took a look.
Next to Yu Linglong, Chen Shuang was practicing in an orderly manner, with the yin and yang energies slowly circulating between the two.
Judging from Yu Linglong’s age, she should be able to support Chen Shuang until he reaches the late stage of foundation building.
Chen An seemed to see his own shadow in her, and he practiced with all his strength and unshakable determination.
Chen An smiled with relief and observed for a moment. Seeing that nothing was wrong here, he jumped to the pavilion on the top of the mountain without deliberately restraining his breath.
As soon as they arrived here, Chen Weiyang and Chen Shusheng, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up to greet them.
"You must be our cousin Chen An. We are really sorry for disturbing you by coming to your house." Chen Weiyang was shocked when he saw Chen An's aura was as deep as the ocean, and said.
Chen An waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am younger than you, so I cannot be your 'brother'."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to motion for the two to take a seat, and brewed a pot of spiritual tea.
"You are wrong. I am your elder brother. Although this is the first time I meet you, your name has spread to the Lihuo Region. You single-handedly killed the first person to achieve Jindan in the Jiyin Sect. Many people say that you are the first person to achieve Jindan in the Lihuo Region." Chen Weiyang complimented him after sitting down.
Chen An has heard similar words countless times over the years and has long been tired of them.
But he didn't want to hit a smiling person, and said, "Your and my two families are originally from the same clan, there is no need to be so formal, have some tea."
At the same time, he also noticed the sickly person next to him. His appearance was somewhat similar to Wu Jianquan on the mountain, but the latter had only recently planted the Blood Soul Immortal, so his condition was much milder.
Drink a few cups of tea.
Chen Weiyang showed a bitter expression: "I have heard that my clan brother is proficient in planting, so he should be able to see the problem with the scholar."
"During the last Demon Sect battle, he had just formed his Dan and lacked experience, so he was tricked by a demon. The other party injected a specially made Blood Soul Immortal into his body and used a secret method to make it take root, as if it had grown on his body."
"Over the years, I have tried many methods and elixirs, and even asked the Lihuo Patriarch for help. However, as the Blood Soul Immortal has grown year by year, it has become one with the scholar's body, and even the Lihuo Patriarch himself has no way to deal with it."
"Over the years, he could only use some spiritual plants and elixirs to replenish his Qi and blood to prolong his life. However, no matter how much Qi and blood he recovered, it would eventually turn into nutrients for the Blood Soul Immortal. Under this vicious cycle, his health became worse and worse."
"I beg you, brother, to use some means to save my grandson."
Chen An put down his teacup and sneered, "You brought so many people to Kuxiu Mountain, and you still want me to save them?"
Chen Weiyang said with a bitter face: "Alas, you don't know, this is all Cui Shuosheng's coercion, I have no choice but to do it. You can see that I have been doing my duty during these days in Kuxiu Mountain. I have never done anything excessive and I have no ulterior motives."
"Moreover, I have been leading my people in the Lihuo Region and their development momentum has not weakened in recent years. Cui Shuo's plan is to make my family kill each other. Brother, you must not fall for his trick."
Seeing that Chen An was unmoved, Chen Weiyang took a sip of tea and coughed lightly.
Chen Shusheng seemed to have received some signal. He knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Senior Chen An, please save me!"
"Hurry up and get up. How can you, a Jindan Zhenren, behave like this?"
Chen An felt helpless. He could more or less understand the pain of the Blood Soul Immortal entering his body. After all, there were several people in Beishan who were tortured by him every day.
But he couldn't take this thing out. Generally speaking, the Blood Soul Fairy would grow in the human body until it matured and would not come out unless the host died completely. Then it would crawl out to find the next host and continue to parasitize.
If it is forcibly taken out in the middle, the person will be dead when the Blood Soul Immortal leaves the body.
Because this spiritual plant not only absorbs blood and flesh, but also absorbs spiritual energy. Where is the most concentrated spiritual energy in the human body? Dantian!
If the stripping is forced, the Dantian meridians will be severely damaged, and in serious cases, it may even result in death on the spot.
"It's not that I don't want to save you. Even the Lihuo Patriarch doesn't have the ability to do so. How can I, a mere Jindan, have such ability?" Chen An shook his head and refused.
"No, brother. You are a well-known spiritual plant master. Think of another way."
Chen Weiyang took out a storage bag, placed it on the table with a painful look on his face, and pushed it towards Chen An.
Chen An took a quick look and found that there were not only third-level spiritual plants, but also two third-level spiritual seeds.
"Let me take a look first."
He glanced at the terminally ill Chen Shusheng, and sent out a stream of magical power to probe into the other's body to check.
The situation is indeed not optimistic. This Blood Soul Fairy is already quite old. If allowed to continue growing, it will definitely suck him dry.
He sighed softly and said, "Let me make this clear first. I have a way to temporarily suppress the Blood Soul Immortal, but I cannot guarantee its complete eradication."
"It's okay, just give it a try!" Hearing the other party's willingness, Chen Weiyang hurriedly pushed Chen Shusheng over, looking as if he was willing to be treated by him.
Chen An did not forget to remind Chen Shusheng, saying: "It will be a little painful later, just bear with it."
He planned to use the Five Thunder Curse to restrain it. After all, with the example of Chen Zhan last time, he felt it necessary to remind him.
Chen Shusheng said with a relaxed expression: "I have been able to endure the pain of the Blood Soul Immortal for so many years, so what else can't I endure? Just use your means."
"it is good!"
Chen An didn't waste any words and immediately cast the Five Thunder Curse. After all these years of gains, he had already practiced the Five Thunder Curse to the fifth thunder and had already mastered it.
Suddenly, five thunders of different colors appeared in the palms of his hands at the same time: Kuishui Yin Lei, Yimu Zheng Lei, Binghuo Yang Lei, Wutu Ming Lei, and Gengjin Jie Lei.
For a moment, there were lightning and thunder in the room, and the roar was incessant. Chen Shusheng was so scared that he didn't dare to move. Was this for treatment or for punishment?
Without waiting for him to think carefully, Chen An controlled the power of the Five Thunders and manipulated them to penetrate into Chen Shusheng's body.
There was a crackling sound.
"Ah! Grandpa, save me."
Chen Shusheng just wanted to roll on the ground in pain, but Chen An had sealed his body in advance. Now he couldn't move at all and could only silently endure the pain of lightning corroding his bones.
"Sheng'er, hold on!" Chen Weiyang waved his fist and cheered his grandson on.
a long time.
"All right."
Chen An put away the Five Thunders, unsealed Chen Shusheng, and let him collapse on the ground like mud. After a moment, Chen Shusheng blew out a breath of foul air, his face still pale, without a trace of blood.
"Sheng'er, how do you feel?" Chen Weiyang hurried over to check the situation.
After resting for a while, Chen Shusheng slowly got up and said in surprise: "The coverage area of the Blood Soul Immortal has actually been reduced by a part!"
Chen An slowly said, "I used the Five Thunder Curse and manipulated it with great precision to kill some of its roots, but your body couldn't support it and I also have limited abilities. I can't deal with it all at once, so I have to do it slowly."
What he said was half true and half false. The Five Thunder Curse just now was only on the surface. In fact, he was using the Soul-Snatching Technique to extract some of the essence of the Blood Soul Immortal, and then used the Five Thunder Curse to strangle some of its withered roots.
As for the treatment, he could do it in one go by draining the Blood Soul Fairy, but after thinking about it, he decided to take it slow. After all, it would be too exaggerated to cure it all at once.
"Thank you, brother, for your help. I will never forget your life-saving grace." Chen Weiyang and Chen Shusheng bowed deeply and expressed their gratitude.
Chen An lifted the two of them up and said, "We are all family, there is no need to be so formal."
Saving Chen Shusheng was a matter of convenience. Of course, the most important thing was to consider the spirit seed.
The three chatted for a while, and then Chen Weiyang said goodbye and left.
The two parties agreed that they would come to Kuxiu Mountain for treatment once every year. After about a dozen times, the Blood Soul Immortal would be able to be cured.
Chen An immediately returned to Beishan and took out the storage bag given to him by Chen Weiyang.
Among them, there are more than a dozen third-level spiritual medicines and two third-level spiritual seeds, Dragon Blood Ginseng and Resurrection Grass. Unfortunately, there are no fourth-level spiritual seeds.
Dragon Blood Ginseng is a very tonic food and is quite effective for physical training.
After the third stage of physical training, Li Shuilan's effect became less and less obvious, which is what Chen An needs right now.
As for the resurrection grass, as long as a person has died not long ago, this grass can be used to lock the soul, ensuring that the soul does not dissipate and the body does not decay for a certain period of time. However, once the effect of the medicine wears off, the person will still die.
The original use of this herb was rather useless, and it was mostly used to preserve corpses. Now its most common use is in refining some elixirs to restore soul injuries.
However, it is said that the resurrection grass that is more than ten thousand years old can bring the dead back to life.
This kind of spiritual medicine of this age has not been seen in the world of immortal cultivation for a long time. As to whether the legend is true, no one knows.
Chen An smiled lightly. As long as he was willing to put in the effort, it would not be impossible for him to grow the Resurrection Grass.
He then planted the two spiritual plants, casually glanced at their condition, and turned back to the cave.
Now that my cultivation is close to a breakthrough, I can put everything else aside for the time being.
Time flies. Since the last time he treated the Blood Soul Immortal, Chen Shusheng has come three more times.
Apart from spending some time using his magical powers to treat him, Chen An spent the rest of his time practicing in the cave.
As the 200-year-old Yuan Shui Lu was refined drop by drop, Chen An replaced it with the 300-year-old Yuan Shui Lu that had just been ripened and harvested recently.
After ten drops, as the golden elixir in the dantian continued to expand, a breath of late Jindan stage swept out.
In order to avoid causing a sensation and disturbing the practice of other tribesmen, Chen An restrained the aura of breakthrough when it was about to rush out of Beishan.
"Seventh level of Jindan!"
Although he is still far from the Nascent Soul stage, Chen An can't help but look delighted with the great improvement in his strength this time.
He was sure that even if Patriarch Lihuo came in person, as long as he had not broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he would have more than a 50% chance of killing him.
However, it has only been a few decades since Patriarch Lihuo’s last breakthrough. Without a great opportunity, he would not have been able to break through so quickly.
"Wang Wang!"
The black-haired beast wagged its thick black tail and jumped around Chen An, as if it was happy for his breakthrough in strength.
After decades of growth, the black-haired beast has now reached adulthood. It is more than ten feet long and its strength has reached the intermediate level of the second rank.
If Chen An’s cave wasn’t spacious enough, it probably wouldn’t be noisy enough.
"Okay, it's making my eyes dizzy."
Chen An touched its big head and threw a 200-year-old Li Shui Lan over to it.
The black-haired beast raised its tall body and caught it by just slightly raising its head. After swallowing it in one gulp, it quietly lay in the corner to refine the medicinal power.
Chen Shuang, who was in the spiritual field, felt the change in Chen An's breath and was suddenly startled.
After several years of practice, she had reached the fifth level of foundation building. She thought her strength had improved fast enough, but she didn't expect that within less than 30 years after coming to Beishan, Chen An had broken through two levels. This speed was even more exaggerated than hers.
You have to know that this is the Jindan stage, which is different from the foundation-building stage. Some people may not be able to break through a level even after seventy or eighty years.
However, Chen Shuang felt relieved after thinking about it. After all, Chen An had guarded Kuxiu Mountain for many times and was a god in the hearts of the Chen family. This level of cultivation was natural for him.
"Wang!"
The black-haired beast suddenly ran out in a hurry, and in less than a moment, it attracted a person, who was Chen Qing.
When you reach the front of the cave, the door opens automatically.
He saw Chen An sitting inside, and felt the deeper aura and the powerful magic power that almost sucked him in. He asked in surprise, "Is this... another breakthrough?"
Although I couldn't tell his specific realm, his aura was obviously stronger than the last time I saw him.
Chen An said calmly: "It's just the result of daily hard practice. You have been practicing diligently recently, and you have made some progress."
Chen Qing smiled gently. He had been practicing hard in the mountains for the past few years. Under Chen An's special care, he not only allowed him to practice in the third-level spiritual land, but also gave him a lot of perfect quality elixirs. With much support, his cultivation had reached the fifth level of foundation building.
"By the way, the secret realm of Yunwu Valley has been opened again. We have reached an agreement with Qingyun Sect to send people in half a year. However, there are slight differences on whether to send Jindan cultivators in." Chen Qing stated the purpose of this visit.
Without him saying it, Chen An knew in his heart that Qingyun Sect definitely did not want either party to send Jindan cultivators.
After all, True Man Qingshan knows Chen An’s strength best. If he really goes, Qingyun Sect won’t even get a drink of soup.
"It's just a small secret realm. There's no need to send Jindan cultivators there. Instead, send more Foundation Establishment cultivators to let them gain some experience as well." Chen An ordered.
"okay, I get it."
Chen Qing knew clearly that Chen An did not want to get involved in this matter, so he would not have any objection.
Chen An suddenly remembered something and said, "I heard that the cultivators who entered the secret realm last time were only concerned with looting and did not explore the depths of the secret realm. This time, we should cooperate well with Qingyun Sect and try to explore the secret realm."
"I see!"
