Chapter 248: Seventh-level Spiritual Creature, Everyone is Like a Dragon
As his cultivation entered the late stage of Refining Void, the Yin Spirit was completely transformed into the Yang Spirit. Not only did Chen An's strength increase greatly, but his soul also no longer had the previous weakness of being afraid of heavenly thunder.
After consolidating his cultivation, he moved his mind, and his soul left his body. He immediately flew out of the cave, circled in the sky, and took in the entire Chen family.
Chen Shuang was refining pills, Chen Guangzhi was drawing talismans, and Chen Qing was urging the seed monks in the clan to practice diligently.
Wang Ming, on the other hand, was holding a saw-shaped magic weapon in his hand, and he lowered his head and sawed between his legs, still trying desperately to break free from the Qiankun Chunyang Lock.
Chen An thought that he was not used to the separation of his soul from his body and that he had seen it wrongly. It took him a long while to confirm that what he saw was indeed the truth.
Wang Ming was indeed holding a magic weapon and trying to saw open a mysterious weapon!
Are you crazy? How long will it take to saw it open?
There is a spiritual treasure between the magic weapon and the mysterious weapon, which is two levels apart. Even if you cut the teeth of a saw, you can't saw them apart!
Chen An felt that between the two of them, either one of them had a problem with his eyes, or the other had a problem with his brain.
Obviously, the latter is the case.
After watching for a while, Chen An wanted to go down and stop him, telling him not to waste his time and focus more on cultivation.
But at this time, he discovered that the saw was Wang Ming's natal magic weapon.
What’s important is that the saw did not become duller with each sharpening. Instead, it became sharper with each time Wang Ming sawed it.
Seeing this, Chen An suddenly realized that this kid was using the Qiankun Chunyang Lock to sharpen his own magic weapon.
If this continues, as Wang Ming's cultivation increases and he enters a higher realm, his life treasure will also become more powerful. Maybe he can really accomplish this.
Since it was not a waste of time, Chen An no longer paid attention to it. When that day really came, he probably wouldn't need the Qiankun Chunyang Lock anymore.
He turned back to the northern mountain of Qiankunhu and stepped into the spiritual field.
After more than ten years of hard work and diligent cultivation, most of the sixth-level spiritual plants in the middle spiritual field have matured.
The golden jade dew vines are intertwined with each other and bloom into dazzling golden flowers. Crystal clear jade dew flows between the petals, and every drop contains rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The petals of the Youshui Bingxin Lotus are as white as snow, but in the center there is a faint blue ice heart, which releases a cool breath. When you get close to it, it seems to purify your soul and make your mind clear.
There is also the Xuan Gen Ling Lan: the roots of this orchid are like black dragon claws, tightly grasping the soil underneath and absorbing the essence between heaven and earth.
The mature Xuan Gen Ling Lan has light purple flowers and emits a faint fragrance. It is an excellent spiritual plant for refining elixirs.
[Harvest a thousand-year-old Golden Jade Dew vine and obtain a drop of Golden Jade Dew]
The Golden Jade Dew appears as a crystal clear golden liquid, sparkling with light like the first rays of dawn, and contains tiny spots of light that slowly swim in it like stars.
Golden Jade Dew has a very strong ability to restore magic power. Just one drop of Jade Dew can instantly restore the magic power of even a cultivator who has reached the perfection of the Refined Void Realm, and it even has a certain healing effect.
If they are fighting and both are injured, a drop of Golden Jade Dew can restore them to the peak of their strength. The opponent will definitely be dumbfounded and the situation will become one-sided.
"What a treasure!"
Chen An carefully put away the drop of golden dew and walked towards other spiritual plants.
The Ice Heart Concentrating Spirit Pill obtained from the Youshui Ice Heart Lotus is more effective in resisting the Yin Fire Tribulation than the original body, and is also a good harvest.
However, the extra harvest of Xuan Gen Ling Lan was just a Ling Lan root that had been processed and could be used as medicine at any time. Even though it was a good spiritual object, it was somewhat unsatisfactory in Chen An's eyes.
There was no way. He had seen countless treasures over the years and had long been arrogant. Naturally, he looked down on the ordinary sixth-level spiritual object.
After dealing with the spiritual plants in the spiritual field, taking out the seeds and replanting them, Chen An walked to the pond.
"Daddy."
Before I got close, I heard Xiaoshui's call, swaying the lotus and shouting excitedly.
Chen An always felt weird to have a lotus calling him "Daddy", even though it was a spiritual plant that he cultivated himself.
If I remember correctly, he never taught Chong Shuilian how to call him, and if he had to teach her, he would not let her call him "Daddy".
And there is no one in the North Mountain all year round. Could it be that they were taught by someone?
In a blink of an eye, Chen An caught a glimpse of a black-haired hound that was sticking its butt out and nibbling on a fourth-level spiritual plant in the spiritual field.
Yes, apart from this stupid dog, there is no one else in Beishan!
Chen An shook his head gently, and while performing the Spirit Infusion Technique to let Xiao Shui bathe in the rich and comfortable spiritual energy, he looked at the spiritual plants in the pond.
The roots of Canglan Golden Spirit Silk are deeply rooted in the mud at the bottom of the water, absorbing nutrients and rich spiritual energy from the earth, and gradually growing into thin and tough golden threads.
Today, the mature Canglan Golden Spirit Silk is golden in color, like flowing liquid gold. With a light touch, one can feel the powerful life energy contained in it. It is an excellent material for refining top-level magic weapons.
The bark of the Sea Soul Sacred Tree not far away is like the waves of the ocean, emitting a deep blue light. Although there is not a single leaf on the crown of the tree, the spiritual power it emanates is extremely pure, making it the nemesis of ordinary evil spirits.
[Harvest a thousand-year-old Sea Soul Divine Tree and obtain the Mystical Soul Refining Bottle]
It's an ordinary bottle, plain in appearance, but it exudes extraordinary power.
The most core power of the Soul Refining Bottle lies in its ability to refine all kinds of evil souls, ghosts or other spiritual creatures.
No matter whether it is the undead with lingering resentment or the ghost cultivator who has achieved success in cultivation, once they are collected into the soul refining bottle, they will be slowly refined in the special space inside the bottle, or completely dissolved and transformed into pure soul energy.
If the soul accumulates too much, it will release a special energy to feed back the cultivator's soul.
The potential of the Soul Refining Technique cannot sustain until the late stage of Void Refining, and Chen An has already practiced it to the extreme. This bottle is just right to assist in the practice of the soul and make up for his deficiencies in the soul skills.
Canglan Jinlingsi obtained a martial arts technique called the Golden Silk Shapeshifting Technique. After practicing it to a high level, he could manipulate the golden silk into thousands of changes, both offensively and defensively.
However, Chen An was not very interested in it, but it could be used to enrich the clan's martial arts pavilion.
As for the Golden Scale Dragon Beard Bamboo and the Water Lan Sword Heart Acorus, since they were planted late, it will take some time for them to mature.
Afterwards, he harvested another wave of fifth-level spiritual plants, including the green wave spiritual silk. Naturally, the level of cultivation of the Soul Infusing Method also continued to rise.
It originally took about ten years for the two kinds of spiritual plants to mature, but after this wave of harvest, the time will be much faster.
Having just achieved a breakthrough in cultivation and harvested a wave of spiritual plants, Chen An felt extremely refreshed.
"I haven't been to the Ten Thousand Swords Tower for a long time. Today is a good time to go and take a look."
Once he was in the mood, he couldn't stop himself. He walked out of the Chen family and headed straight for the Ten Thousand Swords Tower.
More than a decade has passed, and there are still crowds of people in front of the Ten Thousand Swords Tower. Not only are there cultivators from Feiyun City, but many people from other immortal cultivation cities also come here to visit.
It seems that the panic brought by the barbarians has dissipated, and the order of Feiyun City has returned to its previous state.
Chen An stepped in and went straight to the thirteenth floor.
Over the past decade, he not only practiced in seclusion, but also practiced swordsmanship when he had time. He has already reached the thirteenth floor of the Ten Thousand Swords Tower.
Now that my cultivation has greatly improved, it should not be a problem to reach the fifteenth level.
Just as he reached the twelfth floor and was about to go straight to the next floor, Chen An discovered a problem. There were suddenly a lot more people here and it was no longer as deserted as before.
Chen An was slightly surprised. In the past, not to mention the tenth floor, even the eighth and ninth floors were sparsely populated. Why was there only a few people scattered around on the twelfth floor now?
There aren’t so many powerful sword cultivators in Feiyun City. Most likely they are cultivators from outside Feiyun City.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I haven't seen you for a few years. You seem to be in better spirits than before. I guess you have made another breakthrough in your cultivation."
In the distance, Zhao Lingyun was walking towards them, panting, as if he had just finished practicing.
"Thanks to Daoist Brother Zhao, I have made some progress recently."
Chen An said calmly that he hid most of his cultivation before going out, and only showed his fourth level of cultivation to the outside world, which was not too conspicuous.
The two chatted for a while and talked about the recent situation of Feiyun City. Chen An couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, there were few people here in the past. Why are there so many people now?"
Including the two of them, there are about five or six cultivators on the twelfth floor, all of whom have mastered the art of swordsmanship.
This was rare in the past, even on the eve of a war with the barbarians.
Zhao Lingyun said mysteriously, "You have been practicing in seclusion for many years, so you naturally don't know what is happening outside. Eight months later, an unprecedented auction will be held in Feiyun Pavilion. Not only will the Void Refining cultivators from other Xiuxian Cities, but also many people from other states will come here to admire it."
"An unprecedented auction? How could Ling Xuanxiao be willing to spend so much money?" Chen An said in surprise.
Usually, Feiyun Pavilion’s auctions feature ordinary spiritual objects of level five or six, with a few rare treasures appearing occasionally.
Chen An had never been interested in it before and had never participated in it, so he didn’t know much about it.
"That's wrong. It's not Ling Xuanxiao who did this, but Emperor Jiang."
Pulling Chen An to the safe zone on the twelfth floor, Zhao Lingyun continued, "My father remembered Feiyun City's performance last time. Not only did they successfully repel the barbarians, but they also severely injured King Liman, causing him to die after a long period of treatment. So he moved Jianghuang City's auction, which only happens once every few decades, to Feiyun City."
"By the way, I'm telling you that the items at the auction are said to be at least level six treasures!"
"The finale is likely to be a seventh-level spiritual object."
"Seventh-rank spiritual creature? How is that possible?"
Just when Chen An was shocked, Zhao Lingyun smiled and added, "But it's a defective piece."
"I was wondering, how could a seventh-level spiritual object be so easily transferred to an auction?"
Chen An said unhappily, seeming a little speechless about the way Zhao Lingyun spoke while breathing heavily.
If a seventh-level spiritual object really appeared in Qingcangzhou, it is estimated that many people have not seen it before it has fallen into Jiang Huang's hands. Ordinary Void-Refining cultivators like them would never have the chance to know about it.
Of course, this person, the adopted son of Emperor Jiang, is an exception.
However, since Zhao Lingyun told him the news without hesitation, it was probably known to many people and it was not a secret.
"Will there be any spiritual seeds appearing at the auction?" Chen An asked curiously.
"Well, I haven't paid much attention to this, but there's not much time left before the auction. Just wait patiently and you'll know when the time comes."
Zhao Lingyun is not a spiritual plant master, so he is not very sensitive about spiritual seeds and will not deliberately inquire about such things.
"I heard that someone got a copy of the Barbarian Law of Heaven and Earth, and it will also appear in this auction."
Out of kindness, Zhao Lingyun reminded: "For the sake of our past friendship, I'll remind you not to snatch it out of curiosity. This item is in the City Lord's Mansion. If you are interested, I can get you a copy at a low price."
Chen An felt amused and said, "No need, I'm not interested."
As if remembering something, Zhao Lingyun suddenly said: "I almost forgot, I think I saw you perform it once in Lingxiyuan last time, you must have already mastered this method."
But out of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask: "The human race has never been able to practice the Law of Heaven and Earth. I wonder how Fellow Daoist Chen got started and succeeded?"
Hearing this, Chen An said with a half-smile: "You want to learn? I can teach you. I guarantee that you will learn it right away. All you need is one hundred drops of Sanyang Divine Water!"
"Really?"
Zhao Lingyun's eyes flickered, but when he heard about one hundred drops of Sanyang Divine Water, he had no idea at all.
"I got this method by chance when I was overseas in my early years. However, it is not the original version of the barbarians. I don't know who modified the method of cultivation. The threshold is greatly lowered. As long as you have a certain foundation in physical cultivation, you can practice it."
After joking, Chen An spoke seriously.
Few people know that he has mastered the power of heaven and earth, but if he uses it frequently in the future, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from others. Now that the source is clear, it can also reduce other people's suspicion.
Even this so-called "source" is simply fabricated.
"Fellow Daoist Chen has had this adventure, it's really eye-opening."
Zhao Lingyun's eyes rolled around, and it was unknown what he was thinking. He looked at Chen An with a complicated look.
"If what you said is true, and if the power of Fa Tian Xiang Di is not inferior to that of the barbarians, then it is really worth a hundred drops of San Yang Divine Water."
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chen is willing to put it up for auction? If you and I cooperate, I can help you promote it and guarantee that the price of this item can be doubled. Then you only need to give me 20 drops. How do you think?"
Hearing this, Chen An sneered in his heart. This guy was obviously doubting the truthfulness of what he said and was using this to test whether he was an undercover agent from the barbarians.
Would a great master in the fusion realm, the adopted son of Emperor Jiang Taixu, rush to earn his commission just because he is short of money?
But then again, it is an indisputable fact that only the barbarian bloodline can practice the Law of Heaven and Earth, and it is not something that can be broken by just a few words.
Chen An boldly guessed that the reason this guy had been staying in Feiyun City was that he had been watching him. However, he had no solid evidence, and Chen An had made many contributions in the battle with the barbarians, so he did not take action.
The most important thing is that this person may not be sure of taking down Chen An.
It is a big taboo for cultivators to auction off their own cultivation techniques. If their enemies get hold of them and find flaws in them, their lives may be in danger!
Ordinary monks would never be so stupid.
Chen An thought about it again and again, and felt that Fa Tian Xiang Di was just a relatively powerful physical cultivation skill, and not a trump card.
If you can exchange it for two hundred drops of Sanyang Divine Water, it would be a real profit. You know, this amount of Sanyang Divine Water can most likely bankrupt an old-fashioned Lianxu family!
Moreover, even if someone were allowed to go, without hundreds of years of hard training and study, it would be impossible to reach his current level, let alone find loopholes to check and balance him.
Strictly speaking, every time Chen An gains the Law of Heaven and Earth, his skills will become closer to perfection, and the content will also have slight differences from the previous version.
He could simply put the original version up for auction, and there would be no chance for his enemies to get hold of the technique and use it to find out his flaws and kill him.
Moreover, there are two benefits to doing so. First, he can harvest a large amount of Sanyang Divine Water. Second, he can completely eliminate the suspicion of being a barbarian undercover. Third, he can use this opportunity to enrich himself. After all, he is already in the late stage of Refining Void. With his speed of cultivation, he must prepare for the impact of fusion as soon as possible.
"Okay, I agree. I'll have to trouble Brother Zhao to take care of this matter." Chen An thought it over and nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Zhao Lingyun was stunned, obviously a little surprised. He nodded and said, "If that's the case, then I'll go and prepare."
As he left, he was still wondering in his heart, could it be that this really was a modified martial art suitable for human practice?
If this is true, wouldn't everyone in our human race be like a dragon? !
