Chapter 177: The Second Level of the Spiritualization, the Changes of the Blue Wave Spiritual Silk
Just over a month after leaving Kuxiu Mountain, the clan was in perfect order under Chen Qing's management. Everything was going as usual and there was nothing to worry about.
Chen An returned to the cave, intending to continue his hard practice.
There were still a few fairy wood fruits left from his last breakthrough. Judging from the quantity, it should be enough for him to break through again.
Immediately, Chen An sat back on the cushion he had not sat on for a long time and swallowed a fruit.
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Three years is just a short period of time for low-level cultivators, and it is even less worth mentioning for a Divine Transformation cultivator.
Chen An also refined the remaining few fairy tree fruits into magic power in his dantian one by one.
As expected, as the magic power in his body became more and more abundant, Chen An's cultivation level successfully broke through to the second level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
A breakthrough in strength is something to be happy about, but Chen An was not too excited about it.
At present, many fifth-level spiritual plants are not yet mature, and there is no auxiliary objects for cultivation in the Spirit Transformation Period yet.
After the fairy wood was harvested, the trunk of the tree had withered and was nurturing Beishan into a sixth-level spiritual land. Although it had not yet reached the sixth level, it was already much stronger than the fifth level.
Even with the rich spiritual energy in Beishan now, if Chen An wants to achieve another breakthrough in his cultivation, without any external assistance, given his current situation, he will have to meditate for at least a hundred years!
It would take thousands of years to cultivate to the stage of refining emptiness.
It is no wonder that many people from the four continents, whether they are from the righteous or evil paths, or from the human and demon races, are looking for ways to go to the Tianyuan Continent.
Especially the old Qilin in the Black Wind Mountains, who cares most about this matter.
During the years when Chen An was in seclusion for cultivation, he came to visit again, and it seemed that he wanted to invite Chen An again to go together to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.
However, Chen An declined the offer on the grounds that he was in seclusion for cultivation.
He already has the transmission channel leading to another world of immortal cultivation, so naturally he would not follow Huang Lin and others to take risks. There is absolutely no need for that.
As for taking the other party to the other side of the Sea of Turbulence to seek immortal fate, Chen An had thought about this, but human hearts were unpredictable. If other people had even the slightest bit of disloyalty and destroyed the teleportation array or spread the news, Chen An would not be happy to see.
According to his idea, one day he would be able to freely cross the Sea of Turbulence by his own means. At that time, the teleportation array would not be of much use to him, but he could consider it.
Now, all we have to do is to survive and develop.
After thinking about this, Chen An stood up, walked out of the cave, and walked into the spiritual field.
He harvested the mature third and fourth level spiritual plants, and took care of the immature ones, then headed straight towards the pond.
In the pond, the spiritual seeds of the five-colored lotus, jade-bone narcissus, and jade-fat coral are in good condition and have already sprouted and grown. However, at this rate of growth, it will probably take two to three hundred years for them to fully mature.
A fifth-level spiritual plant, based on the minimum medicinal age for maturity, would take at least five hundred years.
Although Chen An has the means to ripen them, he cannot cook without rice. He does not have many fifth-level spiritual plants in his hands now, so he cannot use the Soul-Snatching Technique at all.
Moreover, the level of the Soul-Snatching Technique is slightly low and is not enough. It is okay to use it to ripen fourth-level spiritual plants, but ripening spiritual plants above fifth level will consume some of the medicinal power, and the utilization rate cannot reach more than 90% as before, and there will be basically no waste.
He didn't want to waste the only fifth-level spiritual plant he harvested from the storage bag of the God-Transforming Yaksha last time before he figured out how to use it.
"It seems that I still have to go to the Mermaid Island again and exchange the treasures for some fifth-level spiritual plants."
Thinking of this, Chen An suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have anything worth trading with the mermaids. Even the spiritual plants that he used to be proud of, apart from many fourth-level spiritual plants, he only had one fifth-level one.
"Jade coral!"
Chen An's eyes lit up slightly. The mermaids might not need it, but they definitely needed the jade coral used to heal the injuries of the water eye!
If a few plants are cultivated, they can definitely be sold at a good price.
Thinking of this, Chen An no longer hesitated. He immediately took out the only fifth-level spiritual plant on him and activated the Soul-Snatching Technique.
After a moment, the time at the bottom of the pool seemed to have sped up countless times. The jade corals under the mud grew wildly, forming corals that were as white as jade. Their branches stretched out, which looked a bit like the forks of the Eight Spirit Treasure Tree.
Speaking of which, the jade coral is different from the creatures of this type that Chen An knew before. It is a pure spiritual plant, not any other species.
Unfortunately, even with the Soul-Seizing Technique, only 60% of the essence of the 500-year-old spiritual plant could be effective on the Jade Coral, which is 350 years of medicinal essence.
But this is a pond, not the sea, and due to environmental factors, it can only grow to about 260 years.
"That's all we can do for now."
After taking care of the spiritual plants here, Chen An left the pond.
After three years of practice, Chen Shuang's cultivation has reached the perfect stage of Dan, and he is not far from being promoted to Yuanying stage.
As long as you are adequately prepared, you should be able to make a breakthrough at any time.
Chen Guangzhi's progress is not slow either, but compared with Chen Shuang, it is somewhat inferior.
Perhaps stimulated by this, Chen Guangzhi also practiced hard in the spiritual field and never left.
"Guangzhi, you don't need to come to Lingtian anymore in the future. Go back to your cave and practice well."
Chen An instructed that he had harvested countless Illusion Heart Fruits over the years, and that the Supreme Forgetful Sword, the Six Desires Illusionary Pupil Technique, and the God-killing Sword Finger had almost reached perfection, and he no longer needed Chen Guangzhi's assistance.
"But my state of mind has not been completely tempered yet."
He had watched the piece of illusory heart and true fruit in front of him grow little by little, and he was really reluctant to leave.
"You have almost comprehended the Supreme Forgetful Sword. If you practice this sword technique in the future, it will be as effective as the Illusionary Heart Fruit."
Chen An reminded him that the obsession reflected by the Illusionary Heart Fruit was used as an excuse to let Chen Guangzhi guard here day and night, using his strong power of the six desires to assist in the cultivation.
Now that his mission has been accomplished, it is time for him to practice the Supreme Sword of Forgetfulness.
"That's okay"
Chen Guangzhi was still reluctant to leave.
After Chen An left, he turned his head and looked, and saw that each and every plant of Illusion Heart Fruit transformed into the obsession in his heart.
One after another, beautiful figures appeared on the fruit, they were Qian'er, Chanmei and hundreds of other women.
"Be good, I'll come visit you another day."
After muttering something, he gritted his teeth and turned away.
What Chen Guangzhi didn't know was that as soon as he left, Chen An's figure appeared near the Huanxin Fruit.
"This boy is really a romantic."
Chen An was speechless about him and only hoped that the Supreme Forgetful Sword could improve his state of mind.
"I think maybe 'bastard' is more appropriate!"
Chen Shuang stopped practicing at some point and walked out from the depths of the spiritual field. He looked at the direction where Chen Guangzhi left and said with contempt.
Chen Guangzhi practiced here all day long, looking at dozens of Huanxin True Fruits like a pervert. She had long wanted to drive him away, and even developed a certain aversion to Huanxin True Fruits in her heart.
I got what I wanted today, and I feel quite relieved.
"That's what I said."
Chen An shook his head helplessly and said, "You can't refine the Calming Pill that helps you to form your Infant Soul without the Illusionary Heart Fruit. You should thank the Illusionary Heart Fruit for making it grow so much."
After saying that, he stepped forward and selected a few of the oldest Huan Xin Zhen Guo plants and plucked them one by one.
"Well, it's better to be prepared. This time I will refine a few more furnaces of Calming Pills in one go."
"what?"
Thinking that the Illusionary Heart Fruit that had tainted Chen Guangzhi's spirit all day was about to enter his stomach, Chen Shuang's face suddenly turned pale, he felt nauseous and retched continuously.
He suddenly looked to be in a dilemma.
Ascetic mountain.
Beishan had been quiet for only a few days when it was greeted by the appearance of a burly young man.
Chen Zhan ignored the black-haired hound and golden crow bird that were dozing off nearby, and headed straight for the cave opposite the spiritual field.
Seeing Chen An, Chen Zhan fell to his knees.
"Elder, please let me go with you to the vast world of immortal cultivation!"
"Your strength is not up to the standard. It would be useless if you went there."
Chen An asked with interest: "Why, the four continents can't deal with a little third-level physical cultivator like you?"
Chen Zhan's cultivation level has not fallen behind. With his own efforts and a little support from his family, his cultivation level has reached the middle stage of the third level.
In terms of combat power, except for Chen Shuang and two spirit beasts, the others in the Chen family are no match for him. "You don't know. It was OK if you didn't know before, but now that there is such a world of immortal cultivation, I can't sleep or eat well all day, and it's hard for me to concentrate on cultivation. I just want to go and find out what's going on. I'm almost going crazy."
Chen Zhan made a bitter face and begged, "Please have mercy on me and take me to see it for myself."
In order to encourage them, Chen An mentioned the matters of the Riot Sea and the Tianyuan Continent to several core members of the Chen family.
I never thought that this matter would have such a great psychological temptation to Chen Zhan.
"Don't beg me. I won't take you there for now."
Chen An waved his hand to interrupt Chen Zhan who was about to say something, and said: "However, if you are really bored, I have a map of the treasure here. You can find Chen Long, Chen Kebao and others, and you can go explore together."
After that, he added: "This is what a Nascent Soul cultivator left behind."
The five fragments formed a treasure map and appeared in front of the two.
This map was obtained from Wu Jianquan and has been with him for many years. During this period, Chen An has been practicing in the mountains and has no chance to explore.
Now that the younger generations of the Chen family have risen, we can give the map to them as a training exercise.
If you are lucky, you can discover treasures and make a fortune.
"Left behind by a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
Chen Zhan immediately became interested. He reached out to take the treasure map and looked through it carefully.
"This is... in Dongzhou?"
"That's right. There are no more gods in the righteous path, and our clan is on good terms with the Wanjian Sect. As long as you don't cause trouble, it won't be a big problem to explore a treasure map. Moreover, the one left on the treasure map is likely to be a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage."
Chen An was well aware of the current situation of Zhengdao, so he was more reassured about Chen Zhan's trip.
Even for the sake of a stable supply of Tranquility Pills in the future, Wanjianmen would at least give it some care.
However, I don’t know if it was due to Chen An’s influence, but the Chen family rarely went out except for obtaining necessary resources. They basically practiced hard in the clan.
The average level of cultivation is rising rapidly, but without any tempering, it will always be a flower in a greenhouse and cannot withstand strong winds and waves.
After all, not everyone has the same capital as Chen An, which is enough to support him to practice hard in the mountains and at the same time possess strong combat power.
"Chen Zhan thanks the elder for his kindness!"
Holding the treasure map in his hand, Chen Zhan said goodbye and left happily.
After leaving the cave, he saw the black-haired beast and the golden crow bird still lying on the open ground.
Chen Zhan shook his head and sighed, "Oh, I really envy these two beasts, they live without worries all day long."
"Woof!" The black-haired beast heard what sounded like bad words, and bared its teeth, looking ferocious.
"Brother Gou, calm down. We can't beat him."
The Golden Crow Bird hurriedly grabbed the aggressive Black-haired Lion and shrank back.
The Black-haired Hound’s cultivation is already comparable to that of the middle stage of the Jindan stage, but the Golden Crow Bird has only been practicing for a short time and is still stuck in the early stage of the third stage.
Even if the two beasts joined forces, they really couldn't beat Chen Zhan, even though they had fought before.
"Now I'll give you two a chance to go treasure hunting with Master Zhan. Do you want to go?" Chen An tempted, waving the treasure map in his hand.
There are no less than ten people in the Chen family who have reached the Jindan stage. However, there are probably not many who are worthy of his attention. These two beasts can barely be considered two of them.
"The master said that there are many people outside who want to eat our flesh, so we can't go out easily!"
The Golden Crow shook its head frantically, with a look of rejection on its face.
"Uh, yeah."
Another two years passed.
That day, Chen Shuang suddenly found Chen An, with a serious look on his face, but also a hint of joy in his expression.
"I think I can condense the infant!" Chen Shuang said.
After several years of accumulation, her golden elixir aura is complete and her climate is ripe, and she can break through at any time.
It has to be said that, apart from Chen An, she is somewhat proud of being the first person among the younger generation of the Chen family to be promoted to the Nascent Soul stage.
"Not bad!"
Chen An nodded secretly and said, "If you are ready, break through in Beishan. I will protect you."
With his current means, although he cannot directly help Chen Shuang to overcome the tribulation, he can easily protect every blade of grass and every tree on the mountain from being completely destroyed by the thunder tribulation.
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, Chen Shuang skipped to a spacious place in Beishan and sat cross-legged in meditation.
Chen An was watching from a distance, not getting too close.
At the same time, he ordered the Black-haired Hound and the Golden Crow Bird to disperse the tribesmen on the mountain to prevent them from being affected by the thunder disaster.
After everyone was ready, an unknown amount of time passed.
The Kuxiu Mountain was covered with dark clouds and thunder.
Faced with this scene, perhaps because they had seen it many times, the people from outside the mountain just watched quietly, pointing and whispering from time to time, and were not too surprised.
Isn’t it just a tribulation?
Who hasn't seen it?
Have you ever seen the thunder tribulation of transformation into a god?
Being able to witness so many tribulations in just a few years, not to mention that it will help them in their future breakthroughs, this experience alone can be used as a source of bragging.
However, as time went by, the people outside the mountain stopped whispering and looked towards the mountain.
At this time, the first thunder tribulation had already descended.
As the golden lightning struck down, Chen An's heart was finally at ease.
Judging from Chen Shuang's performance, he was not too worried about the first few thunder tribulations. With Chen Shuang's strength, although it would not be easy, he could still withstand it.
Not long after, most of the thunder tribulation was over, leaving only the last tribulation of the inner demon.
Faced with this most dangerous hurdle, Chen Shuang in the distance didn't care about the nausea in his heart. He opened his cherry-like mouth and swallowed a snow-white pill in one gulp. Then he took out a few Three Lights Calming Talismans and slapped them on his body one by one.
As the three rays of spiritual light penetrated into the Niwan Palace, the inner demon calamity had already descended.
After waiting for a long time, Chen An saw the thunderclouds in the sky finally dissipate, and Chen Shuang slowly opened his eyes, and he knew that the matter was accomplished!
Even with the help of the Calming Pill and the Three Lights Calming Talisman, if you still can't overcome the inner demon tribulation, then you can only find a piece of tofu and kill yourself.
"Live up to everyone's expectations and finally become a Yuanying!"
Chen Shuang's face was pale, but there was a hint of excitement in his expression.
Seeing Chen An walking towards him, he happily stepped forward and said, "Shuang'er has made a breakthrough!"
"Very good, the physical problems will be completely eliminated in the future."
Chen An specially checked Chen Shuang's body and found that the yin and yang energy in his body were tending to be balanced. Even without Yu Linglong's assistance, he could practice like a normal cultivator.
"If you need Linglong's essence, you can take it for your own use. After I leave, you will stay in Kuxiu Mountain and you must not go out easily!"
"Shuang'er, remember this!"
Chen Shuang's eyes were full of water and his lips were slightly pursed, as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant.
However, she knew in her heart that Chen An would not be able to take her to the other side of the Sea of Chaos until she reached the stage of Spirit Transformation, so for the time being she could not easily visit that magnificent world of immortal cultivation.
After staying in the mountain for a few days, Chen An felt that it was enough.
He turned around and came to the teleportation array on the top of the mountain. He stepped onto the teleportation array with the teleportation jade talisman in his hand, intending to go back to the Mermaid Island to take a look.
Arriving at a transit point in the Sea of Turbulence, Chen An subconsciously took a look at the green wave silk planted there.
After taking a quick glance, he was surprised: "The Bibo Lingsi is already fifteen years old!"
