Chapter 150: Illusion of Heart and True Fruit, Azure Dragon and Azure Dragon

Chapter 150: Illusion of Heart and True Fruit, Azure Dragon and Azure Dragon
After years of hard training, his physical training finally reached the fourth level!
Chen An couldn't help but vent his anger, luckily he restrained his strength, otherwise the entire Kuxiu Mountain would have been in trouble.

At this time, Chen Shuang walked into the cave.

"There is a tribesman named Chen Guangzhi outside the mountain. He has been kneeling at the foot of the mountain for three years. He is only in the late stage of Qi training and seems to be unable to bear it. Should we drive him away?"

Chen Shuang reminded softly that she was a girl after all, and a look of reluctance appeared on her face.

"Don't worry about it, just let him kneel."

Chen An said this, but he often paid attention to this person during his practice.

It is only the late stage of Qi training. Not to mention those who have not practiced fasting, even those who have already practiced fasting would find it difficult to persist for three years.

This person is not only very determined, but also seems to have a special physique. He is definitely not as simple as his mid-grade spiritual roots appear on the surface.

"It's you."

Chen An raised his eyes to look at Chen Shuang and said, "You have been practicing hard all day, but you don't have many ways to protect yourself. It will be bad if you encounter danger in the future."

This girl usually either practices or makes pills. She seldom fights and rarely practices self-defense. It's not a big deal with Chen An protecting her, but she cannot be without magical powers and spells to protect herself.

"It's all up to you!"

Chen Shuang's eyebrows lit up with joy, realizing that Chen An was going to teach her his skills.

"You have a very strong and yang constitution, and your body is full of yang energy, which is perfect for you to practice the Golden Crow Transformation into Rainbow Technique and the Long Rainbow Sword Qi. I will teach you everything!"

After saying that, Chen An stretched out his finger, with a ray of spiritual light lingering around it, and lightly touched the Niwan Palace between Chen Shuang's eyebrows, passing on the method of practicing these two magical powers to him.

Chen Shuang's expression was startled, and his eyes were slightly dull, obviously absorbing the information about the magical powers.

"Go back and practice well."

When she was confused, Chen An sent her away.

He immediately released his spiritual sense and swept across the foot of North Mountain.

Kneeling there was an ugly male cultivator, it was Chen Guangzhi. His face and lips were pale at this moment. After three years of wind and rain, his face had become much thinner, and his body was shaky, as if he would fall down at any time.

Chen An shook his head slightly, ignored it, and turned to go to Black Wind City.

He landed and arrived at the Chen family's land in the city, then quietly crossed the outskirts of the city and reached the deepest secret place.

Here, there are two teleportation arrays, one large and one small.

The larger one circles around eight smaller teleportation arrays, which are connected by underground array patterns, forming a vague whole.

The grooves of the small formation had already been filled with spirit stones, as had the grooves of the large formation. The Void Stone in the middle had also been ready in place, and all that was left was for the opponent to take action.

This is the long-distance teleportation array. After three years of construction, it has also been completed in Qinglong City. According to the agreement, today is the day to test the array.

Seeing that it was still early, Chen An sat down at a stone table nearby, closed his eyes, and waited quietly.

This was the exclusive place of the Chen family in the city. Not to mention the monks in the market town, even ordinary members of the Chen family could not come in easily without Chen An's order, so naturally no one would disturb them.

Time passes quietly while waiting.

After just a few hours, suddenly, a trembling sound came from the formation not far away.

A dazzling light flashed from one of the secondary formations, and then eight formations flashed in succession. Finally, the light gathered on the main formation in the middle, which was very eye-catching. Through the hazy light curtain, a human figure could be faintly seen.

In just a few breaths, a bald man with dark skin and a sturdy build walked out of the formation with the vigor of a dragon and a tiger.

He took a quick look around him, then fixed his eyes on Chen An who was sitting in front of the stone table.

"Haha, I guess this must be the formation master from the Far East Six Regions. I've heard a lot about you. My name is Qinglong."

The burly man's eyes were as sharp as lightning and his voice was like a huge bell.

"Greetings to fellow Daoist Qinglong, Chen An."

When True Lord Azure Dragon arrived in person, Chen An stood up to greet him. However, looking at his ferocious appearance, the title "Azure Dragon" did not seem to fit him. "Black Bear" seemed more appropriate.

However, Chen An knew that the other party had a fourth-order green dragon under his seat, and its strength seemed to be very powerful, not inferior to that of Azure Dragon True Lord himself. Although there was some exaggeration, the title "Azure Dragon True Lord" did come from this.

"I'm really sorry. A few years ago, something small happened in the city, which delayed me a lot of time. As a result, I only met you today."

"Fellow Daoist, your words are too kind. A few years is just a blink of an eye." Chen An didn't care much about it. Compared to the long thousand-year lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it was indeed not worth mentioning.

The two met for the first time and exchanged a few pleasantries.

"In the future, the two cities will be connected and share what they have. I hope fellow Taoist has no objection." After chatting for a long time, Chen An turned the conversation to the main topic.

"Well?" True Lord Qinglong picked up the teacup, took a sip, and smiled without saying anything.

Seeing the other party like this, Chen An understood what was going on. He chuckled and took out a bottle of pills: "Oh, by the way, I promised you ten infant-cultivating pills before. Except for the three deposits, the rest are all here."

"Okay, okay." After seeing the elixir, True Lord Qinglong finally agreed.

The pills were originally promised to the other party, so Chen An naturally gave them readily. However, these ten infant-nourishing pills were still a considerable amount of money for Chen An, who had not yet grown the ginseng golden leaves on a large scale.

However, since the two cities are trading, it is only a matter of time before we make the money back.

"Fellow Daoist Chen not only cultivated smoothly all the way to the Nascent Soul stage in this poor and remote place, but he also produced the Infant Cultivation Pills as soon as he said so. Could he be a fourth-rank alchemist?"

True Lord Qinglong asked with a scorching gaze.

"I am not talented. I know a little about alchemy, but it is barely enough for my own use. The ten pills I give to you are also the result of my savings over the years."

Chen An raised his eyebrows and tried to keep his tone down, even though there were still two bottles of infant-cultivating pills in his storage bag.

"Great!"

True Lord Qinglong said excitedly, "I have a few ginseng golden leaves here. I wonder if you can take the trouble to refine a few furnaces of infant cultivation pills. I will provide the elixirs, and we can split them in half after the work is done. How do you think?"

"this one"

Chen An also slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and smiled without saying a word.

"Uh"

True Lord Qinglong smiled awkwardly and said, "I am a rough man, I don't have many skills in cultivating immortality, besides money and spiritual stones, I only have this spiritual seed."

As a Yuanying Zhenjun who controls a vast immortal cultivation city, Chen An doesn't believe this.

But when he saw the seed on the table that was shaped like a water droplet, his heart moved, and his fantasy came true!

This is the main ingredient for refining the Dingxin Pill.

Immediately, the two hit it off and reached an agreement on alchemy.

Not long after, True Lord Qinglong returned to the teleportation array with great contentment, activated the jade talisman in his hand, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Chen An put away the spirit seeds on the table, released his spiritual sense, found Chen Qing who was nearby, and called him over.

"From now on, this place will be open to the public."

Black Wind City is very large, and the Chen family's private land is scattered everywhere, so releasing this small piece of family land will not have much impact.

"The teleportation array is opened!" Chen Qing smiled and looked at the long-distance teleportation array not far away.

After giving instructions for everything here, Chen An left.

Chen Qing has people guarding the entry and exit of ordinary cultivators, so he can rest assured. He can sense the cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage coming in through the teleportation array, so it is not a problem.

Returning to Beishan and entering the spiritual field, Chen An took out the seeds of the Illusionary Heart Fruit.

[Illusionary Heart Fruit, a fourth-level spiritual plant, the fruit has the function of manifesting human desires and obsessions, and growth requires the nourishment of human desires]

"Human desires?"

Chen An planted the spiritual seeds with a thoughtful look on his face.

Since human desires are required, a person like him who has little contact with others and is pure and has few desires will definitely not be able to do it, including Chen Shuang.

However, he was not too reassured if he rashly let outsiders into the spiritual field.

He looked outside the mountain, then flashed to the foot of the North Mountain.

Chen Guangzhi was still kneeling there, but he looked pale and thin, and his body was swaying, as if a slight gust of wind would blow him down.

"Elder?" He saw Chen An and rubbed his eyes.

Although the Chen family members had never had close contact with Chen An, most of them had seen him once or twice from afar and naturally recognized him.

"Oh, I guess I'm hallucinating again."

Chen Guangzhi smiled sadly. In recent months, his mind had become increasingly blurred, and he seemed to be unable to hold on. During this period, he had seen Chen An come down the mountain more than once to accept him as his disciple.

Thinking about the one hundred suitors who had rejected him over the past twenty years and the suffering he had endured in the past three years, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

He was so excited that he could no longer hold on, and his blood rushed to the ground, causing him to fall to the ground.

Chen An sighed slightly and walked forward to check silently.

It was discovered that this person still had life, but was simply exhausted. If not treated in time, his life would be in danger.

But he discovered that this person was much stronger than the average cultivator both in body and soul, so it was no wonder that he could persist for three years.

Chen An pried open his thick lips and fed him a fasting pill and a spirit-boosting pill. Chen Guangzhi was weak now and could not withstand the impact of too strong pills. He could only use these two pills to stabilize himself. However, with him around, this boy could not die even if he wanted to.

He grabbed Chen Guangzhi and was about to take him back to the mountain to settle him down, when a booklet slipped from his arms.

Chen An stretched out his hand to take a picture. There were a few big words on the cover: Guangzhi’s Record of Love Trauma.

After flipping through it and taking a few glances, Chen An's mouth twitched as he saw the densely packed records of the names, personalities, backgrounds, and preferences of one hundred female cultivators.

"This idiot is actually a pitiful person."

After putting away the booklet, Chen An took Chen Guangzhi back to Beishan.

"Little black!"

He placed it in an empty cave and called on the black-haired beast to take care of it.

Seeing the black-haired beast with a huge golden crow bird on its head slowly walking in, Chen An was speechless.

This bird was hatched from Xiao Hei. The two have a very close relationship and have always been inseparable.

"Xiao Jin, you."

"Master, don't worry. Brother Gou and I will take good care of this kid." Xiao Jin lay on top of the black-haired beast and flapped his chest with one wing.

"Well, there can be no mistakes."

The Golden Crow has a erratic personality and is not a bird that can be trusted, but the Black-haired Hound has always been reliable, so Chen An can feel at ease with it around.

Leaving the two beasts behind, Chen An returned to his cave.

Recently, a teleportation array was built between Black Wind City and Azure Dragon City, attracting many cultivators to watch.

There were also a few brave ones who spent their spirit stones to take a tour of Qinglong City.

After they brought back a lot of spiritual materials whose prices were slightly lower than those in Black Wind City, the whole city went into an uproar, and the cultivators who came to pay spiritual stones to ride the teleportation array couldn't even get a number.

Chen Qing increased the transmission fee several times, which finally suppressed the situation a lot.

The number of cultivators in Black Wind City was visibly decreasing, but Chen Qing was not in a hurry. Seeing that the time was almost right, he put a Crystal Condensing Pill up for auction.

The news spread, and within a few days, the news reached Qinglong City, and the cultivators there flocked there, unable to be stopped.

The teleportation fees collected from the monks of the two cities are enough for Black Wind City to make a lot of money.

It was something worth being happy about, but on this day, Chen Qing came to Chen An with a worried look on his face.

"Oh no, I was wondering why it took Qinglong City several years to build the teleportation array. It turns out that they have been resisting the attacks of the Qingjiao Clan from Beizhou in the past few years."

In the cave, Chen Qing sighed.

"Beizhou? Qing Jiao?"

Chen An was confused and asked, "There is an entire righteous sect between Qinglong City and the Beizhou demon tribe. How could they easily let the demon tribe come here?"

"How would I know?"

Chen Qing said depressedly: "I also listened to what the cultivators who came to the auction from Qinglong City said. Afterwards, I also found out clearly, but this matter did not happen."

Chen An frowned slightly. No wonder. Qinglong City in Dongzhou, with abundant resources, actually spent a lot of manpower and resources to build a teleportation array to the six regions of the Far East. It turned out that they were leaving a way out for themselves.

He patted Chen Qing on the shoulder and consoled him, "Don't be afraid. I left some means behind when I built the teleportation array. If an unfamiliar Nascent Soul cultivator wants to come here, I will stop him."

The teleportation of Nascent Soul cultivators can be controlled at one or two levels. With Chen An in charge, no matter how many Jindan cultivators come, it will be useless.

After hearing Chen An's assurance, Chen Qing finally felt relieved: "That's good."

"You go and do your work. Leave the hidden dangers in Qinglong City to me."

There was a hint of coldness in Chen An's eyes.

Since True Lord Qinglong dared to plot against him, how could he not skin him alive?

If this person dares to have any ulterior motives, what good will it do to kill him?
Chen An is confident in his abilities, so he is naturally not afraid.

A few days passed after Chen Qing was sent away.

"boom!"

In the distant Black Wind Mountains, there was suddenly a burst of blood and a sound of earth-shaking movement, which immediately caused everyone in the North Mountain to panic.

Such a commotion naturally alarmed Chen An. He left the cave and stopped to look into the distance.

"Should we send someone over to investigate?"

Chen Shuang also stopped practicing and hurriedly walked out of the spiritual field.

Chen An smiled softly and said, "No need, the demon is already here."

Chen Shuang widened her beautiful eyes, looked at a beam of blood coming from the west, and timidly moved towards Chen An.

"Don't be afraid, it's an old friend coming."

Chen An said soothing words, and leaped towards the bloody light: "Fellow Daoist Crocodile has made great progress in cultivation, which is cause for celebration."

"Hahaha, my cultivation is still the same, I just restored my body's vitality."

The blood light stopped, revealing a demon cultivator with a crocodile head and a human body. He looked quite similar to the giant crocodile old man.

The difference is that he is now full of blood and energy, and the scales on his body are shining with a crystal luster, which is very different from his previous image in his old age.

"Thanks to my fellow Daoist's Magical Demon Grass, I was able to recover so quickly."

Over the years, the two have traded several times. While the giant crocodile took away a lot of magic grass, it also contributed a lot of muddy magic mud to Chen An.

After chatting for a while, the giant crocodile said seriously: "I came here to remind you of something."

"What's the matter?" Chen An raised his eyebrows, feeling something was wrong.

"The Qing Jiao clan of Qinglong City borrowed a passage from the Black Wind Mountains to leave."

As the giant crocodile told the whole story, Chen An also resolved the doubts in his heart.

The reason why the Qingjiao clan of Beizhou attacked Qinglong City was that the Qingjiao under the seat of Qinglong Zhenjun was the son of the leader of the Qingjiao clan of Beizhou.

There was a civil war in his clan early on, and his young son was lost. He was picked up by True Lord Qinglong by chance, and he spent countless resources to train him into a fourth-level demon cultivator.

With the rise of True Lord Azure Dragon in recent years, the reputation of the Azure Dragon under his command also spread. When the leader of the Azure Dragon heard the news, he made some guesses and took a detour through the Black Wind Mountains to the vicinity of Azure Dragon City. Through blood sensing, he discovered that the Azure Dragon was indeed his long-lost offspring.

This led to the attack on Qinglong City in search of the son.

But how could the hundreds of years of relationship between True Lord Qinglong and Qingjiao be separated just like that? The Qingjiao leader was so angry that he led his people to attack.

However, Qinglong City was protected by a fourth-order formation and could not be conquered for a long time. Such a big commotion also alarmed the righteous sects, so they reluctantly retreated a few years ago.

Chen An remained silent. It turned out that during the years when the construction of the formation was stopped, True Lord Qinglong was fighting against the Qingjiao of Beizhou.

 It's daytime now.
