Chapter 30: Fifth Level of Qi Training
Chen An's words immediately attracted the attention of several people.
Chen Yuyi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed: "You kid, your hair hasn't even grown out yet, what can I do?"
Among them, Chen An is the youngest, even two years younger than Chen Maoxin.
When he stood up, naturally no one would believe that he could do anything.
But Chen Lun was different. He occasionally heard the second elder mention Chen An.
Whenever he mentioned it, he would praise it highly, and it was for this reason that he found Chen An.
Chen Lun's eyes sparkled: "Brother, what do you think?"
Chen An smiled lightly and did not respond, but walked to the green grass that was about to die.
He put two fingers of his right hand together, and the sword energy that shot out turned into a silk thread, which sank into the ground with a hissing sound.
The ability of sword energy turning into silk really surprised everyone. Among the few people, only Chen Lun could reach this level.
Originally, they had only heard that Chen An's Gengjin Sword had achieved minor success, but when they saw it with their own eyes, they couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Chen Youliang stared at the sword energy threads. He and Chen Lun were both the best among spiritual plant masters. Chen Lun's Gengjin Sword had achieved some success in the past few years, but he hadn't seen any movement yet.
I was already feeling a little aggrieved, and then being surpassed by two people made me feel even more sour.
However, he didn't know that Chen An's Gengjin Sword had already been perfected.
Chen An ignored their reactions. The sword energy thread drilled into the ground and rushed left and right under his control. After a while, it brought out a khaki beetle.
The beetle was half the size of a palm, with a single horn on its head that stood upright, looking very menacing.
The sword energy thread pierced through its chest, and it was waving its legs rapidly, trying to break free.
However, the sword energy thread bound it tightly, and no matter how it struggled, it was useless.
When Chen Yuyi saw the beetle, his old face was filled with shock: "Earthworm!"
"The ground horn bug specializes in sucking the spiritual energy of spiritual plants. It is very harmful. This kind of pest is also very sensitive to underground movements and is good at burrowing into the ground. It has always been difficult to catch. How did you find it?"
Chen An blinked. How else could he find out? He could just check the status of the spiritual plant in real time.
As long as you perform the perfect earth-drawing technique to detect the movements under the nearby soil, and then combine it with the perfect Gengjin sword finger, you can naturally capture it.
"Nothing, I just discovered it by chance." Chen An answered ambiguously.
Chen Lun and others couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh, as if they didn't believe that it was just a coincidence.
But Chen An didn't want to say anything, and they didn't want to ask him about it.
"Brother Chen An, would you like to sell this ground hornworm?"
Chen Yuyi walked over with great interest, looked at the groundworm, and actually swallowed his saliva.
"What do you want this for?"
"Hehe, you don't know that ground hornworms are most delicious when fried. Their horns are also quite useful and can enhance male sexual function."
Chen Yuyi pointed at the groundworm's upright horn, showing an expression of "you know", and looked at Chen An with expectation.
"Okay, I'll sell you."
Chen An was speechless. The old man was so old, but he was still thinking about this.
Several other people were also attracted by the ground bugs and surrounded them.
"There is one thing I don't understand. There is a formation protecting this place, so how come it still attracts ground bugs?" Chen Lun specially checked the formation to make sure there were no omissions.
Chen Yuyi put away the ground bug in his hand and sighed, "Although the formation can protect against insect pests, there may be insect eggs left in the seeds, soil, and even the spiritual fertilizer. There is nothing we can do about it."
"Spiritual fertilizer?"
Chen An was shocked. He had not expected that there were insect eggs in the fertilizer.
After accumulating a large amount of knowledge in the library, Chen An also had some understanding of the composting process.
If the monster feces are to be safely spread into the spiritual field to moisten the soil, it needs to go through a series of composting processes.
If there are insect eggs in the fertilizer, it is most likely not fully decomposed.
"In that case, there must be something wrong with the spiritual fertilizer given by the Wang family." The others were not fools and they reacted quickly.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly tell the Second Elder about this."
Chen Maoxin's face was full of anxiety. Perhaps it was because young people are impatient and irritable, and he just wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
"Don't worry. We only found one ground hornworm. It doesn't mean anything. Besides, the second elder is in seclusion, concentrating on cultivating the Youyuetan that is about to mature. This matter is of great importance. Who dares to disturb him?"
Chen Lun shook his head and disagreed to go find the second elder immediately.
"At this moment, let's go to our respective spiritual fields and guard them. If we find any situation, let each other know. Let's solve it ourselves first and wait until the Second Elder is done with You Yue Tan's matter before we talk about it."
Everyone nodded in agreement. After all, Youyuetan was related to the future development of the family.
Before leaving, Chen Lun pulled Chen An and stuffed him with ten spirit stones: "Thank you for your help in getting rid of the bugs. This is just a small token of my appreciation."
Chen An blinked, but did not refuse. He just couldn't believe that these were the spirit stones he earned from Chen Lun.
He could still remember clearly how the other party had tried to take advantage of his jade fruit.
"Thank you very much."
After the matter was settled, Chen An and his companions said goodbye and left.
Chen An returned to the spiritual field and first checked the spiritual plants to make sure they were not damaged by ground insects. Only then did he feel relieved.
His cultivation level improves a little bit every day now, and with the help of high-quality and perfect Qi-nourishing pills, he is getting closer and closer to the fifth level of Qi training.
No matter what kind of insect attacks, your cultivation must always continue to improve.
The spiritual fields have just had a good harvest, and you can eat as much perfect quality pills as you want.
Chen An sat cross-legged on the cushion in the cave and took a qi-nourishing pill.
Just when he thought he could continue to take pills happily, Chen Youliang came to him in a hurry the next day.
"Brother Chen An, my spiritual field seems to be infested with groundworms. Come with me and take a look."
Chen An had no choice but to get up and go check.
When they arrived at Chen Youliang's spiritual field and took a quick look, they found that two spiritual herbs had withered.
"It's these two plants. The situation is similar to Chen Lun's. They were fine last night, but when I woke up this morning, they turned into this unlucky state."
Chen Youliang brought Chen An to the withered spiritual plant.
After taking a look, Chen An didn't waste any words and directly performed the Earth Attraction Technique.
The perfect earth-drawing technique was controlled by the mind, as easy as using one's arm. It was only used to detect the movement of the soil. Chen Youliang on the side was completely unaware of it.
Chen An immediately sensed the two ground bugs under the spiritual plant through the magic fluctuations of the Earth Attraction Technique.
Immediately, Gengjin's sword finger turned into a silk thread, and like threading a needle, it brought up the two groundworms in the soil.
After the two insects broke out of the ground, they struggled with their legs, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not break free.
After dealing with the ground hornworms, as usual, Chen Youliang also gave Chen An ten spirit stones.
But after leaving Chen Youliang's place, I found that Chen Yuyi was squatting at the door.
When he saw Chen An coming out, he immediately went to greet him.
"Hey, little brother Chen An, please sell me this bug again."
Chen An was young and strong, so it was useless for him to have the bug, so he gave it all to Chen Yuyi.
Having been disturbed repeatedly over the past two days, Chen An threw the formation jade token aside in order to concentrate on his practice.
With meditation and practice, your cultivation will naturally increase steadily.
Only two days later, after taking another perfect quality Qi-nourishing pill.
The cloud of spiritual energy in Chen An's dantian naturally increased.
Fifth level of Qi training!
