Chapter 129: The Ninth Level of Jindan, the Six Realms are in Turbulence

Chen An picked the last fruit and stood under the fairy tree in a daze, sorting out the information about the martial arts he had just obtained in his mind.

The Soul Refining Technique has two levels in total and is a method specifically for cultivating the soul. However, this method can not only cultivate the soul, but also reduce the chance of the appearance of inner demons to a certain extent.

However, if one wants to practice this technique, one must have a sufficiently powerful spiritual fire to assist in tempering the soul, so as to achieve the effect of condensing and strengthening the soul.

However, this method is rather dangerous. If you are not careful, there is a risk of damaging your soul, and if you are not careful, your soul may be destroyed.

Therefore, practicing the Soul Refining Technique requires at least Nascent Soul level soul strength, otherwise, the risk of injury is extremely high.

At this moment, Chen An's face showed a bit of joy. The skills that can cultivate the soul are extremely rare in the world of immortal cultivation.

Over the years, he has read many classics of the Chen family and the Qingyun Sect, but he has never seen anything like it, or even found only a few words related to the methods of spiritual cultivation.

According to his estimation, even the average Nascent Soul sects might not be able to have such skills.

However, when it comes to the help that the Soul Refining Technique provides to Chen An, it is not just about cultivating his soul, it will also be of great help to him in condensing his infant in the future.

The Nascent Soul Stage is the first and most dangerous stage to break through on the path of cultivation.

When breaking the pill and condensing the infant, one not only has to go through the baptism of thunder tribulation, but also will be disturbed by the inner demons. If one is not careful, one will die in the tribulation.

If a Jindan cultivator wants to make further progress, he must undergo the dual tests of cultivation and soul before he can truly advance to the Yuanying stage, which is extremely dangerous.

Originally, Chen An had a lot of confidence in Condensing the Infant, and now that he had obtained the Soul Refining Technique, he was even more powerful.

He immediately collected the seventeen fairy tree fruits and returned to the cave.

Looking at the black-haired hound sleeping soundly in a corner of the cave, Chen An took out a second-level spiritual medicine and shook it in front of its nose.

"woo"

The black-haired beast woke up with a start, and swallowed the entire elixir in one gulp. After finishing, it wagged its thick black tail and raised its head with a flattering and eager look.

Chen An patted the dog's head gently and said with a smile: "You foodie, go guard outside first. No one is allowed to approach me during my retreat. You will have to eat when I come back."

"Wang!"

The black-haired beast responded happily, stood up and ran out of the cave.

After explaining this matter, Chen An sat upright on the cushion, sorted out the soul refining technique, and then sacrificed the Netherworld Ghost Fire.

After these years of cultivation, six black lines are now swimming in the middle of the Netherworld Ghost Fire, and its power is already quite powerful. It is more than enough to assist in the practice of the Spirit Refining Technique.

As a result of practicing the Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation, his soul has grown to be comparable to that of a cultivator who has just entered the Nascent Soul stage, and has reached the threshold for practicing the Soul Refining Technique.

After making preparations, Chen An's mind moved, and a wisp of Netherworld ghost fire was separated, which went into the sea of ​​consciousness along the Niwan Palace, and then came to the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, lingering around his soul.

Chen An kept his mind focused and silently practiced the first level of the Soul Refining Technique.

Immediately, this wisp of ghost fire from the underworld exploded with a loud bang, as if it had been magnified several times, instantly covering Chen An's soul.

The azure flame burned fiercely, and the black lines inside kept twisting, providing the will-o'-the-wisp with the most primitive power.

As the target of the Netherworld Ghost Fire, Chen An's soul began to shake violently, as if he could not bear this degree of burning.

Chen Anqiang endured the burning pain that penetrated deep into his soul, gritted his teeth and persisted, continuing to practice the Soul Refining Technique.

One week later.

Chen An stopped practicing and collapsed to the ground, his face pale and breathing heavily.

"This thing is really not something that humans can practice!"

"However, it is inevitable that it will be a little painful the first time. Once you get used to it and your soul is more concentrated, it should be better." Chen An comforted himself.

He took a short rest and his consciousness sank into the sea of ​​​​consciousness again. He suddenly found that his soul had shrunk a little, but at the same time he felt that his spiritual consciousness had not decreased.

Spiritual consciousness is a derivative means of the soul becoming powerful to a certain extent. If the soul is strong, the spiritual consciousness will naturally not be weak.

Chen An immediately released his spiritual sense, and the coverage area expanded so slightly that it was almost negligible, but when he glanced at it, every tiny detail nearby was revealed, and when the spiritual sense penetrated underground, it could probe into deeper locations.

Perhaps because it was the first time he was practicing, the effect of refining his soul was quite obvious.

"It is enough to practice the Soul Refining Technique for one hour every day."

After Chen An made a plan, he took out a fairy tree fruit and began to practice in seclusion.

Without any external distractions and with one focused on cultivation, time passed extremely quickly.

Chen An refined one fruit a year, and after one year, he reached the eighth level of Jindan. Two years later, he reached the ninth level of Jindan.

He wanted to continue practicing, but after breaking through the ninth level of Jindan, he habitually felt the seals of the white-robed wolf monsters and suddenly found that three of the five magic seals in another cave in Beishan were missing.

Chen An’s first reaction was that a few guys broke the seal and escaped.

But on second thought, he felt that it was unlikely. Although he was in seclusion, he often paid attention to the situation of several people and reinforced their seals regularly.

And as his cultivation level has broken through two levels, the seal will only become more solid and it is unlikely to disappear so suddenly.

Thinking of this, Chen An released his spiritual sense to investigate the situation over there, and his expression suddenly became a little strange.

Immediately, he flashed out of the cave and headed straight for the cave left by Chen Kebao.

In the cave, there were three corpses lying on the ground, with a few medicine bottles scattered beside them. One could faintly smell the scent of qi-increasing elixirs left in the bottles.

On both sides sat the white-robed wolf demon and Wu Jianquan, who were pale, thin, and covered in wounds.

They sat there panting, looking at each other warily, tightly guarding the medicine bottle in their arms.

Observing the traces here, it is clear without asking that the two of them must have killed the other three and robbed them of their elixirs in order to replenish their qi and blood.

Every time they came to reinforce the seal, Chen An would leave a bottle of elixir for each of them to replenish their blood and qi to prevent them from being sucked dry by the Blood Soul Immortal.

Unexpectedly, he was too focused on cultivation in the past few years and neglected to check, resulting in the loss of three blood fats.

"He killed my three junior brothers!"

Wu Jianquan pointed at the white-robed wolf demon's nose and complained to Chen An viciously.

"Don't try to smear my innocence. It was obviously you who started it. I just killed one person and stole a few pills."

The white-robed wolf demon sounded menacing, but his voice became weaker as he spoke further.

Chen An sneered and released the Five Thunder Curse, striking the two of them fiercely.

Suddenly, there were flashes of lightning and bursts of thunder in the cave.

"Ah! I'll tell you, I'll tell you." Even though Chen An controlled the power, the two of them did not withstand a few hits and begged for mercy and told the truth.

It turned out that as the Blood Soul Immortal grew stronger, Wu Jian became a human cultivator, and his blood and energy were not as good as those of a demon cultivator. Also, because he was the first to have the Blood Soul Immortal planted by Chen An, although he had recovered a lot during this period, he had not fully recovered.

In order to save his own life, he targeted his three fellow apprentices, and when they were caught off guard, he bit one of them to death and stole the elixir.

When the white-robed wolf demon saw this, he, who had been coveting the four men's combined forces, took this opportunity and killed one of them with his powerful body.

Afterwards, the two of them tacitly teamed up to kill the third person, but in the end they had a disagreement on the distribution of elixirs and started fighting.

Chen An was not angry after hearing this. The blood and energy of those three people were not very condensed, far inferior to Wu Jianquan and the wolf demon. Even if they were not killed, they would not be able to withstand too much torture from the Blood Soul Immortal.

Chen An released the Five Thunder Curse again, knocking the two of them unconscious.

After waiting in the cave for a while, it didn't take long for the Blood Soul Immortal to absorb the remaining blood and energy in the three corpses. Each of them slowly crawled out of its host's mouth, and then looked for a new person to parasitize in the cave.

Chen An guided them slightly and let them drill into the bodies of Wu Jianquan and the white-robed wolf demon respectively.

He would definitely have to make these two people pay back double the amount of his losses.

Immediately, Chen An picked up the white-robed wolf demon and threw him into the cave that Chen Long had opened up. He separated the two, left enough elixirs, and no longer cared about them.

After returning to the cave, the black-haired beast ran over happily and eagerly, rubbing against Chen An's body with a flattering look on its face.

Chen An laughed and scolded, "Fortunately, the spiritual plants on the mountain have all been moved to Yunwu Valley, otherwise, you would definitely steal them on weekdays."

"Ouch."

The black-haired beast cried out in grievance, seemingly disagreeing with what Chen An said.

After the man and the beast had been having fun for a while, Chen Weiyang and Chen Qing came to visit.

"When the black-haired beast returns to the mountain, we will know that you have come out of seclusion."

The news the two brought was just like their mixed expressions, one good news and one bad news.

The good news is that Xin Fenghai's momentum is growing stronger and stronger, and he can already pose a considerable threat to Cui Shuosheng.

Even for the secret realm under the Lihuo Palace, Xin Fenghai can control one-fifth of the entrance quota. This number may seem small, but Cui Shuosheng, as the palace master, only has this number.

The bad news is that in recent times, there have been many cultivators from the heartland of Dongzhou appearing in the Black Wind Market. Their cultivation is not low and they seem to have reached the Jindan stage.

Chen An frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know the other party's purpose?"

The disciples from the sect in the heart of Dongzhou suddenly came to the six regions of the Far East. They must have some purpose. Chen Anke didn't believe that they were here to enjoy the scenery.

"They are very tight-lipped and we can't get anything out of them. However, they frequently go in and out of the Black Wind Mountains. We guessed from their behavior during this period that they seem to be looking for something."

Chen Qing responded and took out a map of the Black Wind Mountains, which recorded the entry and exit routes of the Dongzhou cultivators.

"These are the routes they might be looking for, but I also learned about them from the monks in the market they met by chance, plus my own speculation. They can only be used as a reference and are not guaranteed to be complete."

Chen An took a look and said in surprise: "They have already found the edge of several major demon kings' forces. What are they looking for?"

Although he had never been to the Black Wind Mountains, he had seen the map and knew something about the general sphere of influence of the several demon kings.

"I don't know about that. The opponent's strength is much higher than mine, so it's not good to pay too much attention to him."

The person who spoke was Chen Weiyang. As one of the two Jindan masters in the Chen family besides Chen An, he was usually the main person in charge of negotiations of this level.

Chen An thought for a moment and ordered, "As long as they don't cause trouble near Kuxiu Mountain, leave them alone for now."

He was about to condense his infant, and didn't want to cause any trouble.

If the previous major realm breakthroughs were the most taboo to be disturbed, on the contrary, the advancement to the Nascent Soul stage had fewer taboos.

To break through the Nascent Soul stage, one needs to overcome the tribulation. If others dare to get too close and accidentally get contaminated by the aura of the thunder tribulation, they will also be baptized by the thunder tribulation.

The power of thunder tribulation is not fixed, but changes according to the changes in the cultivator's cultivation level.

It is precisely based on this point that Chen An is fearless.

Although the thunder tribulation provides a certain degree of protection, we still need to make preparations just in case.

Chen An took out three crystal-condensing pills and handed them to Chen Weiyang, saying, "Take these three crystal-condensing pills. Go back to Lihuo Territory and put the pills up for auction at the largest shop in Lihuo Territory."

It is more appropriate to use the Crystal Condensing Pill to divert attention. After success, not only can he make a fortune, but he can also attract the attention of many forces and ensure his successful breakthrough.

Chen Weiyang's eyes widened. It was the first time for him to see so many Crystal Condensing Pills in his life. He took them carefully with trembling hands in panic.

After being shocked, he couldn't help wondering, "Brother, what do you mean? With so many crystal-condensing pills in hand, we can just use them to enhance our own strength. Why do we have to put them up for auction?"

Chen Qing, who had had this experience once, remembered the arrangement made when Chen An formed the Dan last time. His pupils instantly dilated and he looked at Chen An in disbelief.

Chen Qing took a deep breath and said to Chen Weiyang, "Just accept it. Three crystal-condensing pills are not worth mentioning."

Compared to having one more Nascent Soul cultivator in the family, three pills are really nothing!
"Not worth mentioning?!"

Chen Weiyang had a strange look on his face, thinking that Chen Qing was crazy to say such things.

Seeing that Chen Qing understood, Chen An stopped explaining. As long as there was enough time, he could have as many Crystal Condensing Pills as he wanted. He didn't care about these three pills.

He continued to instruct Chen Weiyang, “But there is one thing you must remember, don’t rush to auction the pills. Release the news in the next two years to warm up the auction of the Crystal Condensing Pills, and then officially auction them three years later!”

Chen Weiyang nodded slightly and said, "I know that this move can be auctioned at a higher price. I have done this kind of thing many times in Lihuo Territory. Don't worry."

As the helmsman of the Lihuo Domain's Jidan family, he is knowledgeable and experienced, so Chen An naturally feels at ease leaving this matter to him.

The reason why he accepted Chen Shusheng before, in addition to intending to reorganize the two branches of the Chen family, was also based on this consideration. Moreover, Chen Shusheng was in Kuxiu Mountain, and he would not take the elixir and never come back.

Chen Qing, who was standing next to him, saw that Chen An had finished his instructions, and bowed, saying, "Leave the family affairs to us. You can just focus on your cultivation. We will take our leave now."

Since Chen An said that the Crystal Condensing Pill will be auctioned in three years, it means that his Infant Condensation Time will be by then.

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he took Chen Weiyang, who was still a little confused, and said goodbye and left, no longer disturbing Chen An's practice.

He hesitated again and again, and although he trusted Chen Weiyang more, he still did not tell him the news about Chen An Ningying.

After all, Chen Weiyang's mission was to go to the Lihuo Territory to auction the Condensing Crystal Pill, where there were Nascent Soul cultivators in charge. If he was told, there would be a risk of the news leaking out. It would not be too late to tell the other party after he came back after the task was accomplished.

After the two left, Chen An asked Heimaohu to patrol outside.

He took out a fairy tree fruit and continued his retreat.

As he took a bite of the fragrant fruit flesh, Peng Bai's spiritual power immediately filled Chen An's body, slowly strengthening the golden elixir in his dantian, whose luster became increasingly deep.
