Chapter 207: Transformation of Spiritual Consciousness, Reentering the Heritage Pavilion
There should be no news from the Yaksha tribe in the short term. While waiting, Chen An went to the spiritual farm on Kuxiu Mountain.

After several rounds of expansion, the area of ​​the spiritual field has now reached more than ten acres. It is not too small, but it is not big for Chen An.

The sixth-level spiritual field in the middle is only one acre. Even if you add the two acres of fifth-level spiritual fields slightly outside, it is only just three acres, which is just barely enough. The other low-level spiritual fields are almost negligible to him now.

These three acres of spiritual fields were originally sufficient, but ever since the last time the clone sent someone to deliver a batch of spiritual seeds, the spiritual plants in the spiritual fields have become rather crowded.

After two rounds of planting, Chen An also knew what kind of treasures could be harvested from these spiritual plants.

Almost half of the harvest is of little use at present.

For example, the Red Flame Spirit Fruit yields the fire-attributed martial arts technique, the Yan Yang Divine Fire Technique, or spiritual medicines and objects that are helpful in practicing such martial arts techniques. Chen An was practicing the Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation, which was of no use at all.

After harvesting the skills and expanding the clan treasury, they no longer planned to continue planting. With this time and energy, they could have harvested the Bu Tian Dan or the Five-Colored Divine Light several times.

Of course, apart from a few of them, the rest are not completely useless.

For example, from the Nine Yang Ganoderma Lucidum and the Mysterious Ice Jade Bamboo spiritual plants, I gained the fifth-level alchemy inheritance and the fifth-level talisman inheritance respectively, which was an unexpected surprise.

Now, almost a hundred years have passed, and the Eight Spirit Treasure Tree in the middle of the sixth-rank spiritual field is no longer the small seedling it once was. Its branches are vigorous and upright, its crown is like a cover, and its trunk is dark brown, emitting a faint spiritual light, as if eight dragons are winding around it.

After Chen An's continuous cultivation and ripening, this sixth-order Eight Spirit Treasure Tree has reached four hundred years old. If he works hard and consumes more spiritual plants, it can be almost fully ripened before the Refining Void Stage.

Not far away is the elephant fruit, which has a tall plant with lush branches and leaves, and a trunk covered with rough lines, like an elephant's skin.

It is worth mentioning that the fruiting method of the elephant fruit is quite special. It does not grow on the branches, but grows under the bark of the branches.

Whenever the fruit is produced, small bumps will appear on the branches. When the fruit is ripe, the skin will crack, revealing the bright red flesh inside, which is the elephant fruit.

After eating it, it will have a certain promoting effect on the cultivation of the physical body. It is one of the spiritual plants that Chen An is currently focusing on cultivating.

Of course, there is another kind of spiritual plant in the three acres of spiritual field in the middle, which is the dragon blood tree.

The bark of this tree is dark red, as if dragon blood is flowing in it. The bark is covered with mottled lines, and the leaves are emerald green and have strange shapes, just like dragon scales.

The dragon blood essence and dragon god body refining technique harvested from it are quite important, and are also spiritual plants that are cultivated with emphasis.

After crossing the spiritual field and reaching the edge, there is a pond with spiritual plants planted in water.

A breeze blew by, and the daffodils swayed in the wind. Their stems were as white as jade, crystal clear, and had a faint halo, just like fairies dancing in the pond.

After admiring them for a while, Chen An stepped forward, grabbed the crystal stems, and harvested several mature ones, deepening his realm of the two magical skills of Spirit Communication and Turning Rivers and Seas Upside Down.

Then his eyes moved slightly and rested on the five-colored lotus on the other side of the pond.

Unlike the jade-bone narcissus, the five-color lotus has more colors. The petals are divided into five layers, each with a different color. From the inside to the outside, they are white, green, red, yellow, and purple, which complement each other like a rainbow in the sky.

After wandering around the spiritual fields and ponds and harvesting a wave of spiritual plants, Chen An's heart gradually calmed down, as if it had been cleansed.

"In the future, when you are not cultivating hard, you can come to the spiritual field more often. At least it can purify your mind, which is quite beneficial for your future cultivation."

Feeling the inner peace, Chen An sighed.

Moreover, he could even hear the voices of the spiritual plants, as if they were calling him, giving him an indescribable sense of comfort.

"Ok?"

Suddenly he sensed something was wrong and immediately looked in the direction of the heavy water lotus. He saw that one of the heavy water lotuses was emitting a faint spiritual aura and its stem was swaying as if waving to him.

"Has its spiritual intelligence advanced to divine intelligence?"

After being surprised, Chen An hurried forward to check.

"One, two, thirty-eight, nine. One hundred."

After probing with his spiritual sense, Chen An heard a series of childish counting voices coming from the heavy water lotus that exuded spiritual energy.

This is the number that Chen An taught him before. Now that his spiritual consciousness has advanced to mental awareness, he can count to one hundred!

In terms of its intelligence, it is roughly equivalent to a three-year-old child among the human race, and is considered to be out of the category of low-level creatures.

Unexpectedly, without much management in the past few years, it has quietly undergone a transformation.

"Hehe. Father."

As if he felt the familiar breath that had always accompanied him, Chong Shuilian called Chen An happily in his childish voice, identifying him as his father.

Hearing the call, Chen An turned and asked: "Does this count as being a father?"

The intelligence of this heavy water lotus is not very high yet, and its cultivation technique is still a little lacking, so it needs to be cultivated for a while.

He then transmitted a simple text to him, and after performing the Soul Infusion Technique to nourish him, Chen An turned and left.

Some of the lotus seeds from the five-colored lotus harvested this time were given to Chen Qing, who was ordered to distribute them to the tribesmen with excellent centrality and loyalty.

After several rounds of experiments, several members of the Chen family with outstanding qualifications suddenly emerged. They cultivated very quickly, and most of them reached the Jindan stage, and a few even formed the Yuanying stage!

This speed is not slower than Chen Shuang's speed back then.

This time, Chen An gave Chen Qing thousand-year-old lotus seeds, the effect of which would be even greater. If nothing unexpected happened, in a few years, one or two ordinary spirits would be born in the clan.

After explaining this matter, he returned to the Spirit Cultivation Island and harvested several waves of spirit-infusing techniques, the True Essence Body Protection Technique, and the Purifying Spirit and Qi Technique from the Green Wave Spirit Silk, thus concluding this harvest of spiritual plants.

Chen An practiced silently on Peiling Island for almost a year.

That day, Luo Ling'er suddenly returned from the turmoil in the sea. Seeing Chen An here, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, Ge Ming is calling me. Should I go to meet him?"

finally come!

After hearing Luo Ling'er's report, Chen An's eyes sparkled and he said, "Go ahead and help him control the Yaksha tribe as secretly as possible. The Yaksha tribe now only has a few cultivators in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm. They are probably no match for you. Go ahead and do it without worry."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Luo Ling'er rushed out of Peiling Island again and disappeared in the turbulent sea.

After settling this matter, Chen An felt a little relieved.

With Luo Ling'er around, and with the addition of Ge Ming who is in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, it would be no problem for them to sweep across the entire Yaksha tribe, not to mention a little secret help.

After finishing the matter here, Chen An didn't plan to stay here any longer, and immediately jumped up and left Peiling Island.

However, he did not go to the Yaksha tribe, but to the hurricane sea area where he had practiced before. The spiritual energy here was rich, just right for him to use the Qingling Huaqi Jue to assist in his practice.

After finding a suitable location, wisp after wisp of pure spiritual energy flowed into his limbs and bones like a trickle. After being tempered, it returned to his dantian. Chen An's cultivation level was also slowly improving.

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

Chen An, who was frantically refining and absorbing the spiritual energy of this sea area, suddenly found something wrong.

Before practicing, he set up several small means of perception outside the hurricane sea area. Through these means, he clearly felt that someone seemed to be approaching here.

"Could it be the Azure Dragon Clan?"

The mermen and yakshas had just lost their lives and were in a desperate state. It was unlikely that they would have the energy to explore the Sea of ​​Chaos.

Immediately, Chen An restrained his breath, quietly hid his figure, and escaped outside silently.

After flying for a distance, it landed on a small reef island.

Spotting a hidden location, Chen An injected some spiritual power into several directions. Immediately, a talisman emitting a faint spiritual aura slowly emerged from the ground.

This talisman is called the Spirit Pattern Sensing Talisman, and it is a fifth-level talisman. Through it, you can remotely sense the presence of cultivators within a range of a hundred miles, and even know the direction in which they leave. It can be said to be an excellent talisman for sensing and tracking!
He placed the talisman on the palm of his hand and tapped it lightly a few times. The talisman then floated into the air and pointed to a direction.

Chen An smiled slightly and quietly moved in the direction indicated by the talisman.

With the help of the escape technique, Chen An quickly flew thousands of miles away, but when he looked around, he did not see any human figure.

After taking a look around and confirming that there was nothing to find, Chen An shook his head slightly and turned back.

But when he looked back, he suddenly saw a slender figure in the distance, flying around in the sea, as if looking for something.

The other person's figure looked somewhat familiar, and out of curiosity, Chen An quietly dived over.

"Fellow Daoist Zhan Jing? What are you doing here?"

The woman in front of him was clearly the female war god of the mermaid tribe, Zhan Qing's sister, Zhan Jing.

Lianxu fell, and this was the darkest moment for the mermaids. This woman, who was a high-end fighter among the gods, actually came to the Riot Sea.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Chen!"

Zhan Jing's pretty face turned pale when she noticed someone approaching nearby, but she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the other person was Chen An. She stroked his chest that was rising and falling like the raging waves and said, "I didn't expect to meet you in the Riot Sea. I haven't seen you for all these years. Are you here?"

"You could say that."

Chen An did not deny this. The Riot Sea produced spiritual essence diamonds, so it was reasonable for him to practice here.

The two exchanged greetings for a moment, and after some communication, they learned that the other party came here to look for a member of the tribe. As for who it was, Zhan Jing hesitated and was ambiguous and refused to say more.

But Chen An knew what was going on. Even if no one told him, he knew that they were most likely looking for the remains of the merman Lianxu.

"I wonder if Brother Chen Daoist is free and can help me find one or two."

As she spoke, Zhan Jing handed over a storage bag and said, "Inside are all the spiritual essence diamonds that I found in the Sea of ​​Turbulence during this period of time. Regardless of whether this thing succeeds or not, I will give them to you, Taoist friend."

Success or failure?

It is definitely impossible to find it. It is estimated that the corpse of the Lianxu mermaid was crushed to ashes by Ge Wuming. Anyway, he did not find any trace of the corpse in Ge Wuming's storage bag. Instead, his soul was found in the Blood Evil Flag, but this thing was too evil to take out.

Chen An hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "To be honest, I happened to meet a noble senior, Zhan Yedong, in the Sea of ​​Turbulence. At that time, he had just fought a great battle with Ge Wuming of the Yaksha Clan and was seriously injured."

"I took good care of him because of our friendship with the Mermaid Island, but he was too badly injured. He knew he would die soon, so he gave me this item and asked me to pass it on to the nobles. He then went to the depths of the Sea of ​​Turbulence alone. I never saw him again."

Chen An reshuffled the story a little bit, pushing everything onto the Yaksha tribe, then took out the bead necklace and handed it to Zhan Qing.

Although this item was his trophy, he was willing to return it to the other party considering that the mermaids had helped him several times. Besides, he already had enough mysterious weapons on him and did not need this one.

"This is... my clan's tidal bead necklace!"

When she saw the pearl necklace, tears welled up in Zhan Jing's eyes and her voice choked up. She seemed to realize her own loss of composure, took a deep breath to control her emotions, and then held the pearl necklace in her hands.

After a long while, she understood the details and then she sighed, "I'm afraid this senior has met with misfortune. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen, for telling me about this. If you need anything in the future, just come to the Mermaid Island to find me."

Seeing Zhan Jing's bold words, Chen An tried hard to suppress the smile on his face and said, "I really do have a favor to ask of you. I would like to go to the noble inheritance pavilion again. Is that possible?"

Deep in the inheritance pavilion is a record of the method for advancing the Green Wave Spirit Silk to the sixth level. Sooner or later, he will have to go there again.

"This"

Zhan Jing was a little hesitant, but after looking at the pearl necklace in her hand, she nodded and said, "Okay."

"Thank you very much."

Chen An's face was filled with pride. This was the real reason why he was willing to return the pearl necklace. He knew very well that with Zhan Jing's character, she would definitely not refuse him as long as he returned the pearl necklace.

Afterwards, the two of them left the Violent Sea together and returned to the Lost Sea. They immediately used escape techniques and flew quickly towards the Mermaid Island.

But on the way, Zhan Jing became more and more frightened. She had practiced hard over the years and dared not slack off at all, but she was still stuck at the sixth level of the Spirit Transformation, with no hope of breaking through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation.

And the Chen An in front of him, who had not been seen for only a few decades, had made a breakthrough from the early stage of the Spirit Transformation to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation!
What a talent this is!
No wonder the human race can become a first-rate force in the world of immortal cultivation, while the mermaid race is at best a third-rate force. The gap between the two is indeed not small.

However, if they could make friends with humans, it might be a hope for the mermaids now. The two are similar, and if they intermarry, the offspring might be able to surpass the talent level of the mermaids themselves.
Of course, this is just Zhan Jing's guess. Not everyone in the human race is as talented as a dragon. There are also many mediocre people among them. Chen An is an outlier among the human race. Ordinary humans naturally cannot compare with him.

Soon, the two arrived at the Mermaid Island. With Zhan Jing leading them, naturally no mermaid dared to intercept them.

What surprised Chen An was that the other party did not take him to see the clan leader or the great elder first, but went directly to the inheritance pavilion.

"Doesn't this matter require the consent of the clan leader?" Chen An asked doubtfully.

The last time I came to the Heritage Pavilion, I also got the consent of Zhan Xiumu, whose status was second only to the clan leader, and I was able to enter the Heritage Pavilion with his warrant.

"No need. The clan leader and the others are all seriously injured and have been placed in the underwater stone house."

When mentioning this, Zhan Jing's eyes dimmed and a hint of sadness appeared on her face.

“To be honest, a few years ago, my clan was suddenly attacked by Yaksha, but the other party did not kill anyone. Instead, they used the light of the Water Eye to severely injure all the late-stage Spiritualization cultivators in the clan, causing them to fall into a long sleep!”
