Chapter 167: Apprentice Offers Fifth-Level Spirit Seed, Chen An Survives Thunder Tribulation

Chen An chuckled, shook his head and ignored it.

He immediately summoned the Sun's True Fire and slowly refined the Phoenix Soul Crystal in front of him. This crystal was a specialty of the Luanfeng clan and was helpful in repairing damaged souls. It was extremely helpful in assisting the secret method of merging the two souls.

As the Phoenix Soul Crystal was ready, Chen An took out Luo Ling'er's soul, and also took Du Tianyun's soul, and merged the three into one.

Chen An's Sun True Fire was no less powerful than the Golden Crow, and with the help of secret methods, refining the spirits of both was naturally easy.

This process was very similar to the one when he refined Luo Ling'er, so he was quite familiar with it.

After a long time, when the three were completely integrated with almost no omissions, Chen An released the "new" Luo Ling'er's soul back into his body.

The soul is ready, the next step is the body.

The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet was originally formed by condensing the flesh and blood of thousands of cultivators, but the subsequent breakthrough was no longer just a matter of quantity, but required higher quality.

Therefore, it is not enough to fuse the soul of the god-transforming cultivator, but one must also devour his body, and then use Luo Linger's own flesh and blood as the main component to achieve the power of god-transformation.

This is also the reason why Chen An wanted the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet to devour Luo Ling'er's original body. Without this step, the soul and spirit would not be perfectly matched, and it would be difficult to break through successfully.

After that, Chen An kept moving his hands, making hand gestures, and recited a few syllables to Luo Ling'er.

Hearing this sound, blood suddenly burst out from her body, and she took the form of tentacles, wrapping up the body of Du Tianyun beside her.

Then the body turned into a pool of blood, wrapping up its flesh.

Chen An watched quietly from the side until a thick layer of blood cocoon formed on Luo Ling'er's body, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

This advancement went relatively smoothly without any mistakes. After that, he just had to wait quietly for Luo Linger to break out of the cocoon so that she could advance to the fifth-level puppet body.

Although it is called a puppet, the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet is very special. It is condensed from the flesh and blood of countless cultivators and has a soul. It can be said to be between a human and a puppet. If it is trained well, it will have great growth potential.

After completing this task, Chen An left with peace of mind and returned to Kuxiu Mountain.

When he arrived at the cave, Chen An took a short rest and took out a black storage bag.

This is Du Tianyun’s storage bag. As a cultivator who has reached the stage of Divine Transformation, he must be very wealthy. Chen An opened it with great anticipation.

After spending some time sorting it out and removing the clutter and some low-level items, there were only four items left.

Two of the jade slips are named Yuqing Jue, which is the main practice of Taiyi Sect. It is moderate and peaceful, and has very few inner demons. It plays a certain auxiliary role in the inner demon calamity experienced when breaking through the Nascent Soul stage.

It can expand the family's martial arts library and increase the family's heritage.

The other jade slip contains the method of refining the Golden Crow Pill, which is helpful for the cultivation of the Spiritual Transformation Stage.

Chen An took a quick look and found that the Golden Crow Pill was made with the flesh and blood of the Golden Crow as the main ingredient, and other auxiliary spiritual herbs such as Golden Crow Grass. It was quite bloody.

"It's better to destroy it. It will be bad if Xiao Jin sees it in the future."

Chen An sighed lightly, and a wisp of true fire burned the jade slip into ashes.

The biological mother of the Golden Crow Bird had Du Tianyun and Lu Hong kill her to make elixir, but Chen An did not intend to tell him about this.

Even if I say it, it will only cause sadness and will not help.

Of course, whether to help Xiao Jin or to avenge himself, Lu Hong must die!
Retracting his thoughts, Chen An looked at the remaining two objects.

A small golden sword and a wilted spiritual plant.

Upon closer inspection, the rich medicinal power of this spiritual plant far exceeds that of a fourth-level spiritual plant, which is a bit extraordinary.

As long as the age of low-level spiritual plants is sufficient, the medicinal strength can reach the level of high-level spiritual plants. However, this spiritual plant is obviously only three or four hundred years old, and its medicinal strength is far beyond that of fourth-level spiritual plants. It should be a fifth-level spiritual plant for sure.

Chen An held the spiritual plant in his hands, his face full of joy: "It is enough to ripen the Eight Spiritual Treasure Tree!"

The immortal tree will take about 200 years to mature, and using this three or four hundred year old spiritual plant to ripen it is obviously more than enough!

Originally, it would take several years to cultivate it step by step using fourth-order spiritual plants. However, with this spiritual medicine, it can be done earlier.

Thinking of this, Chen An put away the spiritual plants, and couldn't wait to leave the cave and step into the spiritual field.

After ordering Chen Shuang and Chen Guangzhi, who were practicing, to retreat first, Chen An casually set up a magical barrier near the fairy tree.

After all, the matter of the fairy tree was of great importance, and even if it was from the Chen family, he was unwilling to reveal any information that would only add to the uncertainty.

After doing all this, Chen An immediately activated the Soul-Snatching Technique and extracted a mass of extremely rich plant essence from the fifth-level spiritual plant, the scent of which was almost overwhelming.

Just this one plant can fight against so many fourth-level spiritual plants!
Chen An suppressed his excitement and activated the Soul-Snatching Technique, submerging it in the soil to nourish the roots of the immortal tree.

As if sensing the increase in nutrients, the branches and leaves of the fairy tree swayed gently, as if expressing the joy in its heart.

In this short moment, the thick trunk of the fairy tree has obviously grown a little bit that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. If Chen An was not familiar with the spiritual plants in the field, it would probably be difficult to detect.

"Then just wait for it to mature."

Chen An looked at the thriving fairy tree and smiled with satisfaction.

He immediately left the spiritual field and returned to the cave to wait patiently.

A month later, just as Chen An was waiting for the immortal tree to mature, news came from the Five Poison Sect about the extraterritorial demon.

The person who came was the ancestor Ji Yin, an old acquaintance.

Ever since he let Luo Ling'er control him with the poisonous insect, he has been working for the Five Poison Sect. He has done a lot of things over the years. It was he who went to Nanzhou to inquire about the fifth-level spiritual plants. It is said that he was seriously injured for this.

Looking at Ji Yin who was moving as usual, Chen An joked, "Is your lower body easy to use?"

Ji Yin's lower body was stitched together from another spare Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet, and Chen An had known this for a long time.

Seeing Chen An again, Ji Yin looked a little embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly: "It's okay. My strength will be affected to some extent, but I can barely exert the strength of the Nascent Soul. There is no problem serving the two masters."

Luo Ling'er's master is naturally also his master.

Being controlled by the puppet he had made, Ji Yin must have felt very frustrated.

"If I had known this, why would I have done it in the first place?"

Feeling sorry for him, Chen An patted the storage bag on his waist and unexpectedly released half of a body's lower body.

There are several talismans pasted on this body, wrapped in a faint spiritual energy that can keep the body intact.

"This is." Ji Yin looked excited and hurried forward to check with trembling hands.

"This is the other half of your body. I originally wanted to let the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet devour it, but I found that it wouldn't do much good even if it was swallowed. I was planning to bury it in a spiritual field as spiritual fertilizer, but then I heard that Luo Ling'er had captured you, so I kept it for you."

"Thank you, Master. I will serve you wholeheartedly in the future!"

Ji Yin burst into tears after unexpectedly finding the other half of his body that he thought was long gone. For now, it was good enough for him to be alive. Now that he had his body back, he would go back and use the secret method to repair his whole body. Although there were still some flaws, he had hope to continue practicing. It was obviously much better than the previous half-human and half-puppet state.

"Okay, tell me, what's going on with the Demonic Path?" Chen An asked.

Ji Yin quickly calmed down and told the story of the recent developments in the demon world.

To put it simply, the Jiuyou Sect and the Xuegu Sect did discover the extraterritorial demon inside the Hehuan Sect, and the battle between the two sides was about to break out.

Originally, the extraterritorial demon should have had room to struggle, but after being cursed several times by Chen An, his strength was weakened, and he could only flee in panic after being seriously injured.

Moreover, Qinglong Zhenjun and other younger brothers are also dead. Apart from other clones, he is now all alone.

Afterwards, the two sects' incarnations used this incident as an excuse to firmly control the Hehuan Sect.

But then again, this extraterritorial demon was cursed several times and was seriously injured, but he was still able to escape from the hands of two great gods. His methods are truly impressive.

But since the opponent was seriously injured, the next step will be easy. As long as we persist in cursing a few times, this demon will die.

After sending Ji Yin away, Chen An waited for almost two or three months.

On this day, while inspecting the spiritual field, I found that the progress bar for the maturity of the fairy tree was finally full!
The lush and green fairy tree, like jade, bears seventeen heavy fruits, which sparkle and glitter like stars hanging upside down in the sky.

Chen An smiled happily and walked forward to pick the fruit carefully.

[Harvest a fifth-level Eight Spiritual Treasure Tree fruit, obtain the Nine Revolutions Samsara Technique (fifth level)] *16
[Harvest a fifth-level eight-spiritual treasure tree fruit and obtain an ancient spiritual treasure essence]

The technique is the Spiritualization Chapter of the Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation, which is a routine operation.

However, it was the essence of the ancient spiritual treasure that really surprised him. As the name suggests, this essence can upgrade ordinary spiritual treasures to the level of ancient spiritual treasures.

Treasures like these are of great value. Once they come into the world, there will surely be a bloody storm.

Chen An hadn't decided which magic treasure to upgrade yet, so he put it away, planning to work hard on breaking through to the Spiritual Transformation stage first.

Then he returned to the cave with the seventeen fairy tree fruits.

After getting ready, he picked up a fruit and took a bite. He felt the majestic spiritual energy flowing through his limbs and bones, and with a slight movement of his mind, he slowly refined it through his skills.

The spiritual energy contained in the fruit is extremely compatible with the Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation, and will be of great benefit to his cultivation. If nothing goes wrong, it will be enough to support his advancement to the Divine Transformation stage.

Time flies, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, after swallowing and refining two fairy tree fruits in succession, with the help of the vast spiritual energy, Chen An's cultivation reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul.

At times like this, it is natural to strike while the iron is hot and continue practicing, cultivating to the perfection of the Nascent Soul in one go.

However, Luo Ling'er had already arrived at Kuxiu Mountain a few days ago and was waiting somewhere outside the mountain. Chen An knew that this meant that she had successfully advanced.

Immediately, his mind moved slightly and he told her to come in.

"How does it feel to possibly control a Divine Transformation Monk?"

Chen An asked. Unlike before, the other party's energy and blood were now restrained. Even when he was close to him, he could only feel a faint breath. It was obvious that his strength had greatly improved.

"Thanks to my master, I have been promoted to the fifth level, but it will take another two or three years to prepare for controlling the spirit transformation."

Luo Ling'er reported truthfully.

"it is good!"

Chen An took out the exquisite pagoda and handed it to her, saying: "You can deal with the two monsters inside by yourself. It would be best if you can control them all and use them for my own purposes."

Huoyu and Qingze were both at the level of Divine Transformation. Over the years, he would finish them off every once in a while to keep their spirits and souls in a state of severe injury.

Considering that he would move to Tianyuan Continent to practice and look for opportunities in the future, he was unfamiliar with that world and naturally hoped to have more helpers to explore the way.

"I will obey your orders and live up to your trust!"

Luo Linger bowed slightly and responded.

"By the way, you don't have to report to me after you control the two monsters. Go to the righteous Taixuan Mountain and kill Lu Hong first, and bring his head to me!"

Chen An ordered that Lu Hong must be killed and there was no need to hesitate.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Luo Linger turned around and left with the Linglong Pagoda and the relocation order.

After the other party left, Chen An ordered that unless it was a matter of life and death for the family, no one should disturb his practice.

At this time of breaking through to the God Transformation stage, he naturally had to practice with peace of mind. As for the matter of the extraterritorial demons, they would not be around for long, so Chen An was not worried.

However, sitting there for several years was quite boring, so he took out the Book of Five Poisons Soul Curse, consumed some of his essence and blood, and cursed the extraterritorial demon.

After a long time, Chen An put away the magic treasure, then took out another fairy tree fruit with satisfaction and continued his hard practice.

In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.

Chen An was only one fairy wood fruit away from the perfection of his Nascent Soul. He wanted to make a final push, but as usual he used his spiritual sense to scan the Kuxiu Mountain to see if there were any accidents, only to find that Chen Shusheng had returned at some point.

At this time, he was in the third-level spiritual land, practicing together with Chen Kebao and others who had reached the Jindan stage.

He was sent out for training before, and now that he's back he should be planning to make a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage in one go.

Chen An had an idea and sent a message to ask him to come to the cave.

"Disciple pays homage to master!"

When Chen Shusheng saw Chen An, he was so excited that he immediately bowed down to him.

"Get up."

Chen An nodded and said, "Yes, he is already in the late stage of Jindan. He should be able to form an infant in a few years. Are you sure?"

“I can’t say I have it all under control, but I am somewhat confident.”

"Practice well, and come with me to leave Qingyun Territory in a few years."

"Leaving? Going to Dongzhou?" Chen Shusheng asked, looking quite expectant.

"No, it is a place more spiritual than Dongzhou. There may be a chance to become an immortal there."

Chen An did not hide anything and revealed a little about the affairs of the Tianyuan Continent.

He planned to send a few people to explore the way first, and if everything went well, he would move the Chen family there gradually.

However, this matter is of great importance and cannot be resolved overnight. It also depends on the situation on the Tianyuan Continent.

"It is my honor to serve my master."

Chen Shusheng was quite excited when he heard this. He paused, and when he calmed down a little, he said, "Over the years, I have taken control of all the sects in the six regions of the Far East, and have also infiltrated a few sects in Dongzhou. As long as you give the order, I will lead many cultivators to serve you."

"Let's talk about this later."

Chen An was a little surprised that this kid had developed his power to this extent.

However, there is no need to mobilize such a large force for the initial exploration of Tianyuan Continent. We will have to wait and see the subsequent progress.

"Oh, right, I found a spirit seed in the secret realm of Lihuo Palace. It's of a high rank, but it seems to lack some spirituality."

After Chen Shusheng finished speaking, he took out a shriveled lotus seed from the storage bag on his waist.

"This is a five-colored lotus!"

Chen An looked surprised, and couldn't help but recall the "One Hundred Lectures on Ancient Spiritual Plants" he read in the Chen family library when he was still practicing Qi cultivation.

This book records many rare spiritual plants, and the five-colored lotus is one of them.

He still remembers all the introductions above and sees hundreds of spiritual plants.

"Five-color lotus. Lotus has five colors: white, green, red, purple, and yellow. It is said that lotus leaves, lotus flowers, and lotus seeds all have miraculous uses, and lotus seeds are the best. If you take one, you will have no worries about your Nascent Soul in this life!"

However, he suspected that there was some exaggeration in it, and then he stared at the spirit seed, and a line of words gradually appeared in front of his eyes.

[Five-color lotus spiritual seed, fifth-level spiritual plant, needs to grow in a place with all five elements and be accompanied by its own kind. ]

It turned out to be a fifth-level spiritual seed!
However, a place with all five elements can be understood, but Chen An is a little confused about "accompanied by the same kind".

The problem is that I don’t have a second five-colored lotus in my hand!

Chen An pondered for a moment, then planted it next to the heavy water lily in the pond.

Anyway, you have to try planting it.

Just as he buried the lotus seeds in the mud at the bottom of the water, the call of one of the most beautiful heavy water lotuses emerged in Chen An's heart.

This is the heavy water lotus that originally gave birth to a faint spiritual consciousness.

Under Chen An's careful care over the years, his spiritual consciousness has gradually grown stronger, and seems to be transforming into consciousness.

As long as they are born with consciousness, they can communicate normally, just like spirit beasts that have not yet spoken.

Chen An used his spiritual sense to calm it for a moment and then let it go.

Although Beishan does not have obvious five elements energy, the spiritual energy is rich. Even if it cannot grow normally, it will have a nourishing effect to some extent, which is much better than watching it lose its spirituality.

Of course, it would be even better if it could take root and sprout.

After Chen An finished his work, he returned to the cave to continue his practice.

In a blink of an eye, another year has passed.

After refining another fairy tree fruit, Chen An's cultivation level was naturally perfected to the Nascent Soul stage!

After the breakthrough, he specially checked it again. His magic power was extremely rich, and his magic was as perfect as before. The Nascent Soul in his Dantian had grown to nine inches and nine, and he could be promoted to the God Transformation at any time.

However, this thunder tribulation is not ordinary. There are five of them in total. The first four are ordinary thunder tribulations. As long as you are strong enough, you can withstand them.

The most serious one is the fifth thunder tribulation. Different from the inner demon tribulation when breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, the last one of the Spirit Transformation stage is the sea of ​​suffering tribulation.

Compared with the inner demon calamity, it is more dangerous. Once you fall into it, you will also die from the thunder calamity.

One thing is that the power of thunder tribulation is not constant. It will vary depending on the skills, strength, and even experience.

For cultivators like Chen An who practice the Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation, the thunder tribulation will definitely be more powerful than that of other cultivators.

Chen An thought for a moment, counting all the means he had to resist the thunder.
