Chapter 15: The Fourth Level of Qi Training (Please collect and read)
In recent days.

The black nematodes have returned, and the entire Chen family is facing a formidable enemy.

The head of the family even sent out people, including the only three Gengjin Sword Finger cultivators who had achieved minor success, the second elder Chen Rui, the farming expert Chen Lun, and the up-and-coming farmer Chen An, to deal with the insect plague in the tribe acre by acre.

Chen Rui and Chen Lun were deeply shocked for a long time at the fact that this "newcomer" had mastered the Gengjin Sword Finger to a small degree.

How old is this kid?

The two men felt that they had lived in vain for most of their lives. They had spent half their lives studying magic, but they were caught up by a boy who was not even eighteen years old.

Especially the second elder Chen Rui, the more he looked at Chen An, the more he liked him.

He even intended to train him to be his successor. In his opinion, Chen An was much better than Chen Lun.

However, facing the insect infestation, Chen Rui did not have time to think carefully. The three of them joined hands and went into the spiritual field together.

Relying on his minor Gengjin Sword Finger, Chen An solved the insect plague for many of his fellow tribesmen and earned more than twenty spirit stones in extra income.

However, it was later discovered that the black nematodes this time were just a lot of noise but little impact, and did not affect too large an area.

In just a few days, the insect plague was eliminated.

But the head of the family, Chen Qing, and the second elder, Chen Rui, did not think so. To be on the safe side, they sent many clansmen to watch the spiritual field day and night, for fear that the black nematodes would come back to life.

We finally managed to turn the tables on the Liu family, but it would be even harder to get up again if we fall again.

After having just dealt with the insect plague, they now have to take turns patrolling day and night. In recent days, the spiritual farmers have been having a hard time.

The incident lasted for half a month, and when it was discovered that the black nematodes had completely disappeared, Chen Qing withdrew the order and everything returned to normal.

A group of spiritual farmers slumped down on the ground, feeling relieved.

"A false alarm!"

"It must be the Chen family's ancestors who blessed us and helped us survive this insect plague safely."

"Ergou, you've been busy for so many days, you must be exhausted both physically and mentally, do you want to go to Chunfeng Tower to play?"

"Hehe, that's exactly what I was thinking. Let's go find the fairies and relax."

Chen Fugui glanced at Chen An, who looked tired, and said, "Boy, I'll take you."

"Don't go!"

Chen An interrupted without thinking and rejected the other party's invitation.

These days, the three people who are leading Gengjin Sword to Xiaocheng are the most tired. They have to follow others when they are on patrol, and they have to stay on the spot when others are resting. They have very little time to rest.

He hasn't been home to take care of the spiritual plants in the yard for several days, so he has to go back and check on them.

After saying goodbye to Chen Fugui, Chen An went straight home.

During this period, the tribe was busy with various issues, and he just hurriedly sent down a spiritual rain every day to cover the entire tribe, without doing any intensive farming.

When I came back, I found that several spiritual plants had shown signs of decline and their quality had slightly decreased.

Chen An waved his hand, and a thick rain cloud covered the sky above the spiritual plants. Bean-sized raindrops carried rich spiritual energy, nourishing the thirsty spiritual plants.

He then used two more soul-nourishing spells on two of the green grasses, and after using up all the spiritual energy in his dantian, Chen An stopped.

According to his experience, every time he used up all his spiritual energy and then went through meditation and practice, the effect would be slightly better.

He also found evidence for this from several books on cultivation experience in the library.

After resting at home for a night, Chen An regained his spirit.

Under his careful care, the spiritual plants in the spiritual field also regained their vigorous and pleasing growth.

Just as Chen An caught his breath, Chen Lun came to tell him that the second elder Chen Rui was looking for him.

Second elder?
In the yard, Chen An stood up from the recliner and put down the "Detailed Explanation of Common First-Level Spiritual Plants" in his hand.

"Thank you, brother. I'll go right away."

Chen Lun, who came to run errands, couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is this kid so lax on weekdays?

He didn't practice cultivation, nor did he practice magic, so no one knew how his Gengjin Sword Technique could be advanced to a minor level of success.

Chen An didn't let the other party wait any longer. He stood up, closed the gate, and the two of them came to the yard where the second elder was.

"Go in, the second elder is waiting in the hall."

After completing the task, Chen Lun left on his own and let Chen An go in by himself.

The second elder’s yard is not small, but it seems a bit crowded with spiritual herbs and medicines drying everywhere.

Pushing the door open, the second elder Chen Rui was sitting at the wooden table.

Chen An bowed and said, "Junior greets the Second Elder. I wonder what you want me to do?"

Chen Rui smiled and waved: "You're welcome, come and sit down and try the Qingxin tea I planted."

The two of them each drank a cup of tea and chatted casually.

"I heard from the Great Elder before that you have a talent for farming. I was skeptical at first, but when I saw your Gengjin Sword Technique with my own eyes a few days ago, I realized that I am really old." He has studied the Gengjin Sword Technique diligently throughout his life, but his talent is limited and he always feels that he is still a step away from perfection.

But this thin layer of paper trapped him for nearly twenty years.

"The elder is in his prime, and no one in the clan can match his farming experience. He is the pillar of the family."

"Haha, kid, I'm not the pillar of the Chen family."

Chen Rui waved his hand and said seriously, "I called you here because I saw that you have a rare talent and you will be able to grow first-level mid-grade spiritual plants sooner or later. I plan to let you try first."

"It doesn't matter if the seeds go bad, just treat it as a trial."

After saying that, he took out a brand new storage bag and handed it over.

Chen An's eyes flashed, and he didn't refuse. He picked it up and took a quick look.

There were a full thirty first-grade medium-quality spiritual plant seeds inside, which alone were worth no less than ten spirit stones.

Moreover, judging from the other party's expression, he was planning to give him the storage bag as well.

Wow, you are really willing to invest this money. This is to test myself and see if I have the potential to grow mid-quality spiritual plants?

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder. I will definitely live up to your trust."

The two chatted about farming issues, and after a long time, Chen An said goodbye and left.

Chen Rui stayed in the room alone and drank a few cups of refreshing tea by himself.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside.

"Second Elder! Are you planning to give that one-acre first-grade middle-grade spiritual farm to Chen An to take care of?"

An angry young man rushed in.

Chen Rui glanced at him and frowned slightly: "Did that kid Chen Lun tell you?"

Chen Jiangxin snorted and did not give a direct answer: "He is only at the third level of Qi training. How can he be capable of growing a first-level middle-grade spiritual plant? He is far inferior to me."

Chen Rui on the opposite side just continued drinking tea and ignored him.

This kid is pretty good at farming, and he's the son of the great elder, so he was originally the best candidate, but that was in the past. Things are different now because he has found a better candidate.

Seeing that the second elder remained calm, Chen Jiangxin gritted his teeth, took out a storage bag from his arms and placed it on the table.

"Since you can't make up your mind, Second Elder, maybe this thing can help you dispel distracting thoughts and make the right decision."

Chen Rui frowned, looked at the other person deeply, hesitated, and finally reached out and touched him.

"Snapped!"

He slammed the storage bag on the table, his face showing a bit of annoyance: "What do you mean by this!"

Chen Jiangxin quickly apologized with a smile: "Second Elder, don't get angry first, take a look at this."

After saying that, he took out another storage bag.

"This old man..." Chen Rui was speechless, not knowing how to make a decision.

Chen Jiangxin saw the other party's hesitation, a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes, and he calmly took out the third storage bag.

"The middle-grade spiritual field is yours!"

After returning, Chen An concentrated on practicing.

Apart from occasionally going out to take care of the spiritual fields, the rest of the time was spent on cultivation.

As for why this was so, it was because his cultivation was improving day by day and he had reached the point where he could break through to the fourth level of Qi training.

After taking a few Qi-nourishing pills, he grew the third cloud of spiritual energy in his Dantian to its limit.

Chen An took out the high-quality Qi-nourishing Pill from his storage bag.

Qing Mugong has already made some progress. As long as he has enough spiritual power, there shouldn't be too many obstacles for him to advance to the fourth level of Qi training.

Zhang took the high-quality Qi-nourishing pill, and a powerful spiritual power flowed through his body. The effect was indeed greater than that of ordinary Qi-nourishing pills.

Two hours later.

A dramatic change occurred in Chen An's Dantian.

Three clouds of spiritual energy that had grown to their limit were shaking violently.

With the continuous supply of spiritual power from the outside world, the fourth cloud slowly condensed at the top.

Become!

Fourth level of Qi training!

Chen An suppressed his inner joy and continued practicing for a few cycles, completely stabilizing his state.
