Chapter 195 Black Armor Guard, Ten Thousand Swords List
Over the past ten years, in addition to practicing, Chen An also spent a lot of time taking care of spiritual plants.
Even if the Soul-Snatching Technique is used less frequently, the spiritual plants will mature one after another just through the cultivation of the Soul-Infusing Technique.

[Harvest a 900-year-old dragon blood tree and obtain the Dragon Blood Body Refining Technique]
In addition, a wave of three hundred-year-old fruits were harvested from the Barbarian Elephant Fruit, and additional Barbarian Elephant Pills were obtained.
This pill can strengthen the body and is quite effective for physical cultivation, but its disadvantage is that it will harden the body and gradually become like a barbarian. Taking too much will also affect the cultivation of magic. Chen An felt that there was no need to castrate himself for the sake of physical cultivation, so he did not take it.
On the contrary, the effect of the Barbarian Elephant Fruit itself is mild and more suitable for long-term use. When the scale of cultivation becomes larger in the future, taking a few more pieces should be no worse than the Barbarian Elephant Pill.
In addition, the five hundred year old Barbarian Elephant Fruit will yield a Barbarian Elephant Armor, which has extremely high defense and can withstand attacks from a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage.
Compared to the bulky black tortoise shell, its defensive power is inferior, but it is light in weight. Chen An can wear it easily with his current level of cultivation.
As for the harvest of the third stage, the time is still short and it has not yet been cultivated.
However, according to past experience, the harvest in the third year is generally not too bad.
After one or two rounds of harvesting the blue spiritual silk, the Qingling Huaqi Jue has made great progress. Although the effect of using it to assist in cultivation is not satisfactory, it is quite effective in cultivating spiritual plants.
This technique is of a higher level and is relatively difficult to practice. Although it has not yet reached the second level, it is sufficient for cultivating spiritual plants for the time being.
Moreover, the Qingling Huaqi Jue and Guanling Dafa are simply a perfect match. When the two are added together, the ripening effect is not much worse than that of the Duoling Jue.
In the process of cultivating high-level spiritual plants, the Soul-Snatching Technique became increasingly unable to cope with the demands and was gradually failing to keep up with the pace.
Considering that the Soul-Snatching Technique requires the additional consumption of spiritual plants to ripen, Chen An has rarely used it in recent years. He usually uses the Soul-Infusing Technique and the Spirit-Clearing and Qi-Transforming Technique, and the effects are not much worse than those of the Soul-Snatching Technique, and are sufficient for his current use.
Chen An has gained several waves of magical skills, so naturally he will not forget Chen Sheng.
The two are separated by tens of thousands of miles, and travel is very inconvenient, but it is relatively easy to transmit magical powers through the secret method of clones.
Immediately, Chen An used the secret method of the Dragon Blood Body to sort out his latest gains and transmitted them to Chen Sheng who was far away in the Tianyuan Continent.
Feiyun City, Chen family.
In the spiritual field, Chen Sheng, who was guiding Chen Maoxin to cultivate fourth-order spiritual plants, paused slightly after receiving a huge torrent of information.
Chen Maoxin, who was listening to the lecture attentively, was so fascinated that he did not notice any abnormal change in Chen Sheng at all.
Over the past decade, Chen Maoxin lived up to his family's expectations and successfully advanced his cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage. At the same time, under the careful guidance of Chen Sheng, his level of cultivation of fourth-order spiritual plants also reached a new level, supporting the Chen family's small piece of spiritual plant sky.
"I will stop here to teach you the experience of cultivating fourth-level spiritual plants. With your accumulation, the rest depends on your own practice in the future."
Chen Sheng gave a few instructions and then gave all the fourth-level spirit seeds he had accumulated over the years to the other party.
"The younger generation should make progress and live up to the trust of the patriarch."
Chen Maoxin took the spiritual seed with trembling hands, his eyes welling with tears as he spoke with gratitude.
Over the past few years, Chen Sheng not only worked hard to teach him the fourth-level spiritual plant master inheritance, but also allocated the resources of the clan and devoted all his efforts to help him break through the Nascent Soul stage.
I can only repay this great favor by sacrificing my life for my family in the future.
After Chen Sheng finished his instructions, he left Lingtian. At this time, he had no idea what the other party was thinking, and even if he knew, he would just smile slightly.
The so-called "dedicated efforts" was merely that every time Chen Sheng came to the spiritual field to cultivate spiritual plants, he happened to see Chen Maoxin there and gave him a few pointers.
When it comes to knowledge related to spiritual plants below the fifth level, Chen Sheng can talk about it effortlessly without any effort.
As for "doing everything we can to help him break through the Nascent Soul stage", it is even more exaggerated. It is just a reassuring pill, and some low-level cultivation resources that Chen Sheng had eliminated long ago and are useless. It is not worth mentioning at all.
After leaving Lingtian, tribesmen kept coming in and out on the road, and when they saw Chen Sheng, they all bowed to him.
Chen Sheng looked at his clansmen who were busy doing their jobs, and nodded slightly in response.
Over the past decade, although the Chen family's development has not been earth-shaking or rapid, they have relied on their own abilities to steadily build a small market of their own in Feiyun City.
Talking about the development over the years, Chen Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Feiyun City is really damn lucky!
It may be because the upper limit of Tianyuan Continent is relatively high, it is easy for low-level cultivators to practice, and there are many cultivators with Jindan cultivation, which leads to the output of first to third level Danfu formation tools being no different from the price of cabbage.
Perhaps it was the blocking effect of the thunder tribulation during the Nascent Soul stage. When it reached the Nascent Soul stage, it became a little more normal and not so complicated.
Over the years, with the help of Feiyun City's cheap low-level resources, the core members of the Chen family have basically entered the Nascent Soul stage, making the family a relatively normal one in terms of strength.
"Homeowner!"
A bald young man came towards them and hurried over when he saw Chen Sheng. It was Chen Zhan.
"Didn't I ask you to guard the clan's library? Why are you out?"
Chen Sheng asked in surprise. When migrating to Tianyuan Continent, the original owner, Chen An, also copied all the skills, magical powers and inheritance of the Chen family and asked him to bring them over. They were all placed in the clan's library and Chen Zhan was arranged to guard them.
"You're still talking, I'm almost suffocating staying in that broken building every day."
Chen Zhan scratched the back of his bald head and smiled bitterly.
He had been eroded by the poisonous gas of the Five Poison Sect, which left him with a disease that caused all his hair to fall out. However, after his injuries healed, he continued to keep his head bald, and it seemed that he really liked this unique hairstyle.
Hearing this, Chen An smiled and said, "You have never dabbled in the four arts of cultivation. What else do you want to do if you don't guard the library?"
"As for me, hehe, I plan to join the Black Armor Guard." Chen Zhan said with a longing look on his face.
After hearing this, Chen Sheng finally understood. It turned out that this guy had already made plans and was coming to him to kill him first and report later.
The Black Armor Guards are the most common Feiyun Guards in Feiyun City, consisting of Nascent Soul and God Transformation cultivators.
The largest group of Feiyun Guards are the Black Armor Guards. Their general duties are to maintain city security, guard the city, and patrol. Sometimes they will also follow higher-level monks to perform missions.
Above them are the Heavenly Guards. To be eligible to join, one needs to have at least the cultivation level of Refining Void. They are the most core force in protecting Feiyun City.
They can carry out tasks independently and have greater authority. If they deem it necessary, they can even directly destroy an entire family.
According to the records of Feiyun City, the Tianwei once discovered that some families in the city were colluding with the barbarians and attempted to threaten Feiyun City through internal and external forces. Then the Tianwei directly took action to destroy three entire families.
Chen Zhan is at the middle stage of the fourth rank. Logically, he can only be the lowest-level black-armored guard, performing some repetitive low-level tasks.
But as a physical cultivator, he has a strong physique and his combat power is much stronger than that of cultivators of the same level. If he can advance to the late fourth level, he might be able to become the captain of the Black Armor Guard team.
If everything goes well, you can rise all the way and become a member of the Tianwei. If things don't go well, you may die outside when you go out on a mission.
Chen Sheng put away his smile and asked seriously, "Although the treatment of Feiyun Guard is good, it is also quite dangerous. You should think it through before making a decision."
“I’ve been thinking about this for years!”
Chen Zhan nodded solemnly: "When I was training alone in the Six Regions of the Far East before, I did similar tasks and accumulated a lot of experience. As long as I am careful and don't do stupid things, I won't lose my life." If we talk about the Chen family members who have the most experience in training outside, the second is Chen Fengshuo, and the first is Chen Zhan.
Back then, he had traveled almost all over the six regions of the Far East, and even went to Dongzhou to practice the righteous way for many years. The last time, the treasure map made up of five fragments was also explored under the organization of Chen Zhan, with several tribesmen. It is said that the harvest was quite good.
"Well, since you have thought it through, just go for it."
Chen Sheng took into consideration the special nature of Feiyun Guard. If Chen Zhan became one of them, it would be of great help to the Chen family in keeping up with the news in the future, so that they would not be the first to realize it after the barbarians have reached the city gate.
Simply by virtue of being well-informed, they can make preparations earlier than other families.
"Oh, right, I have a few Barbarian Elephant Pills here. They are extremely beneficial to your physical cultivation. However, if you take too much, it will affect your appearance. You will look more and more like a barbarian. It's up to you to decide whether to take them or not."
Chen An took out a few gray pills and handed them to Chen Zhan.
"You still have this wonderful treasure." Chen Zhan took the pill excitedly and held it in his hand, seemingly not caring about its appearance at all.
Finally, Chen Sheng gave Chen Zhan two magical treasures for self-defense.
A piece of light armor and a long axe are more suitable for Chen Zhan to use. These were seized from the Yaksha and Azure Dragon tribes when he passed through the Sea Serpent Wind Region. Now that he is among the human race, he is not afraid of being exposed at all.
"Oh, by the way, Chen Weiyang asked me to tell you that Senior Wang Daning is here to visit. Please go to the reception room as soon as possible to have a chat." Chen Zhan put away the pills and the magic treasure, then he remembered the business.
"Wang Daning? Didn't he just come here a few months ago? Besides, wasn't his son Wang Yan's physical condition almost resolved? Why is he here again?"
Chen Sheng walked to the reception room with curiosity and doubt.
Compared to the previous times when Wang Yan came with him, this time it was only Wang Daning.
"Thank you, Mr. Daoist Chen, for saving my child from danger several times. Wang thanks you again."
Seeing Chen Sheng coming in, Wang Daning quickly stood up, bowed and thanked him.
There are many treasures in Feiyun City, and there are more than one way to cure Wang Yan's physical condition. Wang Daning spent a lot of spirit stones and managed to solve Wang Yan's physical problem.
From then on, the Wang family officially had a member with the potential to reach the realm of virtual refining.
"You are too polite, Mr. Wang."
Chen Sheng motioned for the other party to sit down, and while they were chatting and laughing, they had already drunk a cup of tea.
"Having been in Feiyun City for more than a dozen years, I'm sure Brother Chen knows something about Feiyun Tower."
The two of them had frequent contacts, and there was gratitude between them, so Wang Daning's way of addressing Chen Sheng became much more affectionate.
"I have indeed heard a lot about Feiyun Tower."
Chen Sheng nodded and said, Feiyun Tower is the first building in Feiyun City, and everyone in the city knows it.
Feiyun Tower is also known as Wanjian. This tower has a total of eighteen floors, with three areas on each floor.
Among these fifty-four areas, each area contains an imprint of sword intent left by a powerful cultivator. If one can enter and comprehend it, and gain something, ordinary cultivators can benefit from it for the rest of their lives.
However, the sword intent is not so easy to comprehend. It is said that these sword intent imprints have existed for countless years, and have generated countless sword energies that are wreaking havoc in the tower. It is extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to even take a single step forward.
"Could it be that Brother Wang is interested in going there to comprehend the sword intent in the tower?" Chen Sheng asked.
"I won't keep you in suspense in front of Brother Chen. In fact, I've been there once before, but I gained very little and my performance was not good. With Brother Chen's extraordinary cultivation, he might be able to gain something after going in. There are also many who hope to soar to the sky."
Wang Daning had already seen Chen Sheng's true strength. With such strength, it would be a pity if he didn't go to Feiyun Tower. This was also Wang Daning's real thought.
Immediately, Wang Daning said in a deep voice: "I have heard that in the next round of Jianghuangcheng's last elimination, those who perform well will be qualified to compete."
"Oh? This is happening!"
Chen Sheng was a little surprised. Since there were such benefits, he might as well give it a try.
The fact that this tower has been standing in Feiyun City is also a means for the city to select talents. There is no harm in giving it a try.
Soon, the two of them walked out of the Chen family residence side by side and headed straight towards the central city area.
As the distance got closer, the towering Wanjian Tower gradually appeared in front of Chen Sheng.
Many monks were walking around the Ten Thousand Swords Tower, surrounding the central area of the city.
In addition to Feiyun City, many cultivators from other immortal cities also came here, all of whom came to climb the tower because of its reputation.
Looking around, this tower has only eighteen floors, but each floor is as high as three or four floors of an ordinary tower. In terms of height alone, it is dozens of floors high.
Not far from the entrance to the tower, there is a square with a stone tablet in the middle called the List of Ten Thousand Swords.
Above are the records set by people who have climbed the tower throughout history. Those with extraordinary talents will leave their names on the stone tablet.
"Zhao Dahai!"
One of the very simple names attracted Chen Sheng's attention. The name was ordinary, but the result was not ordinary.
This person ranks first on the Ten Thousand Swords List!
According to his biography, he was a monk who was born with the sword element ten thousand years ago. He was obsessed with swordsmanship all his life. He once spent a full three hundred years in the Ten Thousand Swords Tower and comprehended all fifty-four sword imprints in the tower.
He lived in the tower all year round and regarded it as his home. He was once known as the keeper of the Ten Thousand Swords Tower.
The second one is Sikong Liuguang, who was originally a cultivator from an ordinary family thousands of years ago. He once suffered a disaster of genocide. After escaping by chance, he came to Feiyun City. Fearing that he was being hunted by his enemies, he dived into the Wanjian Tower.
Unexpectedly, this person had an extremely high talent in swordsmanship. Although he was not as good as Zhao Dahai throughout his life, he also understood the seventeenth level of sword intent.
Afterwards, he left the tower to avenge the extermination of his clan. With one strike of his sword, not a single member of the Lianxu family was left alive.
Chen Sheng looked all the way down in amazement and found that the tenth place’s name was Jiang Taixu!
Isn’t this Emperor Jiang?
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that before Emperor Jiang Renhuang was promoted to the fusion stage, he had actually climbed the Ten Thousand Swords Tower and achieved quite a good result, having once reached the fifteenth floor.
No wonder he could become the fifth emperor of the human race in Tianyuan Continent!
Chen Sheng was watching with great interest when a noisy sound came from outside.
"Look, Pei Zitian is here again!"
"He failed at the third level last time, and has been in seclusion for more than ten years since he returned. I'm afraid he will make a final push to reach the fourth level!"
"Looking at his confident look, I'm afraid he might actually succeed!"
Hearing the chatter of the people around him, Chen Sheng couldn't help but look in the direction of the crowd and saw a young man with an imposing manner and a handsome face walking towards him.
This person has reached the sixth level of the Spiritual Transformation Stage and has very condensed magical powers. It is obvious at first glance that he is no ordinary person.
Moreover, Chen An clearly remembered that this person also seemed to have his name on the Ten Thousand Swords List!
