Chapter 229: Pure Yang Imprisonment, Undercover Barbarians
In the lush green spiritual field, Chen An's figure stood there like a pine tree standing proudly in the wind.
In an instant, a vast torrent of information came rushing in, violently impacting his sea of consciousness, but miraculously turned into a trickle, gently seeping into every corner of his mind.
These streams contain words, patterns, experiences and insights, which silently flow into Chen An's heart, like sweet rain nourishing the dry land and flowing into his heart.
"The Art of Illusionary Blood and Shape Transformation" is a supreme secret method that can control thousands of bloodlines and transform the forms of all things.
Just one drop of another person's blood, combined with the "Melting Heart Method" to integrate into one's body, can allow the practitioner to temporarily integrate into the blood river of the alien race. Not only will the appearance change, but also the unique talents and abilities of the race, and even the subtle breath of the soul, can be perfectly replicated.
If this secret technique is used to train a group of monks, transform them into barbarians, and quietly infiltrate the heartland of the barbarians, it will undoubtedly be a great help to the human race.
However, just as there is always a shadow behind the light, the power of "Illusion Blood Transformation Art" also comes with some costs. Every ten years, no matter where the practitioners are in the world, they must face a catastrophe called "Return to Origin Tribulation".
During the Return to Origin Tribulation, one will instantly lose all magical powers and be forced to return to one's original form, exposed in broad daylight, and fall into an irresistible period of weakness, just like a warrior who has taken off his gorgeous armor, fragile and helpless.
However, this powerful technique comes with a harsh price. Every ten years, no matter where they are, the practitioner will experience the "Return to Origin Tribulation", suddenly losing the power to transform, revealing their true nature and falling into a period of weakness.
"The technique is very powerful and unstoppable. Unfortunately, the interval between the Return to Origin Tribulation is too short."
Chen An whispered softly, a hint of disappointment flashing across his brows.
Then, he gently put away the spiritual fruits he had just harvested and walked out of the spiritual field.
Ten years may seem like a long time to ordinary people, but for those high-level monks who travel above the nine heavens, it is just a blink of an eye and may only be enough to complete a deep level of cultivation.
For those undercover agents walking in the shadows, ten years, if everything goes well and they plan carefully and advance step by step, they can embed invisible chess pieces deep into the enemy's territory.
But the premise of all this is that everything can go smoothly, otherwise you will fall into the "Return to Origin Tribulation". If you are lucky, you can still be safe and sound, but if you are unlucky, your true identity will be exposed and you will die without a burial place!
When he raised his head, a graceful figure came lightly as if walking on the green waves, with fluttering clothes and lotus steps, walking straight towards Chen An.
"You have reached the third level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Your progress in cultivation is quite impressive. Have you made any new breakthroughs in alchemy recently?"
Chen An guided Chen Shuang gently and invited him to the front of the cave and sit down at the stone table.
"I have gradually gotten better at the alchemy technique you taught me last time and have almost mastered it. I can now refine most of the first five levels of elixirs. Although the battle with the barbarians this time caused the prices in the city to soar, it also brought us a lot of gains."
Chen Shuang's smile was as beautiful as a flower, as bright as the warm spring sun, and her sweet smile seemed to be able to melt the ice, but even so, the barely perceptible fatigue between her brows could not be concealed.
Chen An's eyes were gentle and his words were caring: "You should also take a good rest after refining the elixir. You are weak and should not overwork."
Hearing this, Chen Shuang replied obediently: "Shuang'er will pay attention."
"I called you here today for another matter."
As Chen An spoke, he took out a crystal clear jade slip from his sleeve and gently placed it on the stone table: "This is the recipe for the 'Yanbing Rongling Pill'. You can take it and study it carefully. If you have any questions, you can come to Kuxiu Mountain to find me at any time. In the future, the task of refining the 'Yanbing Rongling Pill' will be handed over to you."
Upon hearing the new pill formula, Chen Shuangmei's eyes suddenly lit up with a brilliant light. Her previous fatigue seemed to be swept away by this sudden joy. She held the jade slip in her palm, the excitement in her eyes was beyond words: "Shuang'er must go all out and master it as soon as possible!"
Seeing this, Chen An couldn't help but laugh and reminded: "There's no need to be so anxious. Don't be too eager for quick success. A proper balance between tension and relaxation is the right way."
"I see!"
Chen Shuangshuang nodded, his eyes revealing determination and understanding.
Chen Shuang nodded heavily. Having practiced in Beishan for many years, she had seen a lot of Chen An's practice patterns and naturally knew what he meant. He was telling her that she could not just delve into alchemy, but also practice hard in her spare time.
It was precisely because of this that she was able to not only master most of the fifth-level alchemy essentials taught by Chen An in a short period of time, but also reach a new height of the third level of the Spirit Transformation in her cultivation, achieving remarkable results.
While the two were talking, Chen Qing's figure suddenly landed on the North Mountain.
Seeing that Chen An was busy, Chen Shuang did not linger any longer: "Shuang'er will take his leave first."
"What do you want me to do?" Chen Qing looked at Chen Shuang, who was known for his advanced cultivation, and said disappointedly.
At this moment, Chen An's eyes fell on the obvious bruise on Chen Qing's left cheek, and he couldn't help but frowned slightly: "What happened to the scar on your cheek?"
Chen Qing's face was slightly stiff, and he said perfunctorily: "It's okay, it's just a small carelessness, I accidentally fell."
Chen An was speechless when he heard this. How could a Nascent Soul cultivator be so careless?
But he did not delve into it and went straight to the point: "Have the five-colored lotus seeds I gave you been properly distributed?"
"Everything has gone as planned. I have given one to each of the younger generations in the clan who have good character but poor qualifications."
Chen An nodded gently, his satisfaction evident in words. He then took out a small gray cloth bag from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Qing: "I have obtained a few more five-colored lotus plants recently. I will leave them to you to handle."
"Just leave it to me. You can trust me to do the job." Chen Qing took the heavy cloth bag and promised.
During the conversation, Chen An suddenly remembered something and solemnly warned: "Regarding Wang Ming, you must keep a close watch on him and don't let him get involved in worldly desires or get close to women."
Speaking of Wang Ming, Chen An couldn't help but feel worried. This boy is still in his youth and is full of curiosity about the opposite sex. If he is not careful, he might make a big mistake.
Once the virginity is lost and the pure yang body is damaged, such a good seedling will be ruined.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing assured firmly: "Don't worry, I will supervise him perfectly. Nowadays, even the spiritual beasts in the tribe are not kept as females. In addition, I have specially prepared a 'Pure Yang Lock' for him to lock his lower body. Now even I can't open it easily, so it should be foolproof."
"Pure Yang Lock!"
When Chen An heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Once this treasure recognizes its master, it will usually be normal. However, if the master has any false thoughts, it will automatically guard the key parts and cannot be unlocked without a specific mantra. It is often used by high-level female cultivators to protect their furnaces to prevent the loss of their vital energy. Unexpectedly, it was used on Wang Ming today.
"Yes, it's a pity that my Chen family has limited resources and cannot easily obtain the 'Qian Kun Pure Yang Lock' which is equivalent to the Xuanqi. Otherwise, I would definitely give it to Wang Ming."
Chen Qing had a look of regret on his face, and his words revealed his helplessness towards the family resources.
"That's enough for now!"
Chen An pondered for a moment and thought that as long as Wang Ming did not leave the city without permission, the existing defenses would be more than enough.
Looking at the bruises on Chen Qing's face, he roughly judged that they were probably caused by the time he put the 'Pure Yang Lock' on Wang Ming. The hardship involved was self-evident.
Not long after, news came that the Hei family army had won a great victory in forcing back the barbarians.
Many black-armored soldiers were wearing the Flame Ice Melting Soul Pill refined by Chen An, which greatly increased the power of the Cold Flame Ten Absolute Formation, and the strength it exerted was close to the sixth level of the Refinement Void Stage!
With the greatly increased strength, they naturally suppressed the barbarians. After several battles, they successfully forced the barbarians to the other side of the Rift Valley.
When the news came, many cultivators in Feiyun City cheered and knocked on the door of Wanchun Tower early to celebrate the victory of this battle.
But some are happy while others are worried, and not everyone celebrates this. This is the case with Chen Fengshuo, who is bored in the tribe.
However, his mood at the moment had nothing to do with the war between the two tribes.
Since coming to Feiyun City, his family has never been short of resources for cultivation, and he can be said to have good food and drink.
Even though he had sufficient resources, it had been nearly a hundred years since he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, and his cultivation level had only reached the fourth level, so his progress was extremely slow.
Even Chen Long, Chen Kebao and others who had formed their Nascent Soul stage at about the same time were almost in the late Nascent Soul stage. Chen Long, who had a stronger aptitude, had even reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and was not far from becoming a Spiritual Transformation!
However, the technique he practiced was more demonic, and blindly practicing hard did not have much effect. If he continued like this, he would probably die sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Chen Fengshuo could no longer bear it, and immediately walked towards the back mountain with a determined look.
"Chen Fengshuo wants to see you!"
His cultivation was at a low level, and he had not made many contributions to the clan over the years. He lacked confidence, so he did not dare to go up the mountain and only called out from the foot of the mountain.
But after three consecutive calls, there was no movement on the mountain, and it was even quieter than before he came.
Chen Fengshuo couldn't help but frown and sighed.
It seems that I have been forgotten.
"The human race has just won a great victory, why are you sighing here?" A breeze blew, and Chen An's figure suddenly appeared.
Chen Fengshuo, who was about to leave, was startled when he heard the voice: "I thought you were not here."
In fact, what Chen Fengshuo wanted to say was "I thought you wouldn't see me", but when the words came to his lips, they unconsciously turned into something else.
"Tell me what you want to see me for. Let me tell you first. If you want to go back to Dongzhou Demon Dao, I can only send you back, not pick you up."
"Look at what you said. After seeing the wider world, why would I go back to that corner again?"
Taking a deep breath, Chen Fengshuo said bluntly: "Since I came to Feiyun City, I have been practicing hard in my clan for these years, but as you can see, the results are minimal. The skills I practiced are not suitable for this kind of practice."
"So, what do you want to do?" Chen An's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.
"I plan to leave the family temporarily and go to the outside world to look for opportunities. Otherwise, I won't be able to break through to the God Transformation stage even if I wait until the end of my life in the family."
In fact, Chen Fengshuo had wanted to come and say goodbye several years ago, but Chen An had been in seclusion, so he never took action.
Chen An has appeared frequently recently, so he knew it was time to leave.
Chen An raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded, "Well, that's right. Asceticism is not suitable for everyone."
"I'm here just to inform you. Now that I've said it, I'll leave in a few days." Chen Fengshuo seemed relieved and said.
"Unfortunately, I originally wanted to give you a secret mission. Since you want to leave, I'll go find Chen Zhan."
Chen An sighed lightly and looked disappointed.
"Secret mission?"
Hearing this, Chen Fengshuo perked up, paused, turned around and asked.
"What secret mission?"
"Naturally, your best thing is to be an undercover agent!"
"call"
Chen Fengshuo took a deep breath, his chest heaving, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. For some reason, when he heard the word "undercover", an indescribable enthusiasm boiled from the depths of his soul, as if his heart, which had been dormant for many years, was now being awakened and ready to move.
"Where are you going this time?"
"Wild Continent! Do you dare?"
"Barbarian land? It's exciting enough, but I like it."
Hearing that they were barbarians, Chen Fengshuo narrowed his eyes slightly and licked the corner of his lips with the tip of his tongue. Not only did he not show the slightest fear, but instead, a strong desire to fight permeated his whole body, like a cheetah smelling the blood on the grassland.
Seeing this, Chen An smiled knowingly. This guy was born to do this.
Immediately, he took out a jade slip, handed it to the other party, and said: "Although this mission is dangerous, it will not let you die. Take a look at this first. There are some hidden secrets in it."
When the news of this great victory came, the most talked-about thing among the monks in Feiyun City was the monks from the Golden-armored Barbarian Tribe.
In the great war between humans and barbarians, this golden-armored barbarian was invincible. It was only because the city lord Ling Xuanxiao took action personally that he was forced to retreat.
The last time he fought with Man Qian in Lingxiyuan, he knew very well the power of the Eight Gates Divine Veins Technique. If this technique was combined with the Law of Heaven and Earth, it would be extremely powerful!
After ten thousand years, the martial arts reappeared. If the barbarians are allowed to develop for a long time, they will inevitably threaten the human race.
From this powerful technique, we can guess that the barbarians will not give up this battle so easily. They are likely to make a comeback with it, so we must prepare early.
No eggs can be left unbroken when the nest is overturned. Chen An knows this truth very well, so he plans to send someone to bring the Eight Gates Divine Veins Jue back to the human race. Of course, it would be best to bring back the spiritual seeds or plants related to it!
Taking into account the special circumstances of the barbarians, he originally planned to send Chen Zhan, but when it comes to being an undercover agent, Chen Fengshuo obviously has more say and more experience.
At this moment, Chen Fengshuo took the jade slip carefully with a bit of curiosity and trepidation. After reading it roughly, his eyes lit up:
"Haha, that's great, there is actually such a mysterious technique involved in this incident."
Putting the jade slip between his eyebrows, Chen Fengshuo became more and more fascinated the more he read it, and before he knew it, three hours had passed.
Chen An was not in a hurry either. He stood quietly by the side waiting for him to finish.
After a long time, Chen Fengshuo finally put down the jade slip. Seeing that he had wasted a lot of time, he said with apologetic eyes, "This technique is good, but it still lacks blood. I guess the Black Armor Army will have some. I don't know if they will sell this thing to the public."
He had been in Feiyun City for such a long time, but he had never heard of the sale of barbarian blood there.
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."
Chen An smiled slightly, and then took out a severed hand: "I have enough barbarian blood here."
This severed hand came from the black-robed man before. Even though it had been chopped off for a long time, it still retained a certain vitality. There was no problem using it to perform the Illusion Blood Transformation Technique.
"When you are ready, I will let Chen Sheng use the Qiankun Pot to send you out."
"I'm ready now! I can go at any time"
