Chapter 50: Nine-turn Samsara Technique
The Great Elder's robes were disheveled, a large section of his beard was burnt off, and he looked a little disheveled.
His face was fierce and ferocious, and his hand reached for the storage bag at his waist, as if he was ready to use more powerful means.
Chen An sneered, waved his sleeves, and threw out the horn-killing technique that he had prepared long ago.
The black cone-shaped spiritual power broke through the pouring rain, creating splashes of water, and went straight to the opponent with lightning speed.
"puff!"
The Horn Killing Technique penetrated the Great Elder's left chest, leaving a fist-sized bloody hole.
The arrogant elder of the Chen family fell to the ground with an expression of unwillingness, regret and fear on his face.
That's it?
Chen An shook his head helplessly, but did not go over to check. Geng Jin's sword finger turned the energy into silk and collected the opponent's magic weapons and storage bags scattered on the ground.
In line with the principle of not wasting, the other party's body was also collected.
When they went to check on Chen Jiangxin, they found something unusual.
The opponent's corpse exuded wisps of black gas, floating above, faintly forming the shape of a skull, which was visibly weird to the naked eye.
"Soul Control Spell!"
The corner of Chen An's eye twitched as he remembered a similar spell description he had seen in the family library.
By performing this technique, one can control cultivators with lower cultivation levels than oneself at the cost of consuming one's essence and blood, making them obey one's orders willingly but not becoming tools. They have a great deal of autonomy, which is extremely strange.
But the disadvantage is that as time goes by, the controlled monk will have a lot of his life energy consumed by the soul-controlling spell, and can only live for three to five years at most.
"No wonder these two wanted to kill me. It turns out they were controlled by someone. The Great Elder was not under the control spell. He must have been bewitched by his son."
If there is anyone who is determined to kill him, it is none other than Liu Zhen!
Chen An felt a chill in his heart. A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can never guard against thieves for a thousand days.
If the other party is determined to kill him, there is a long time before he can stop them. How can he defend himself every time?
Escape is impossible. It is a little safer to stay in Yunwu Mountain. If I really run away, I will play right into the enemy's hands.
Chen An didn't have time to think about it. Just in case, he did not put away Chen Jiangxin's body, but directly burned it to ashes with the Fire Snake Talisman.
He didn't dare to stay any longer, and immediately used the magic of speed at full speed to return to the cave.
After raising the formation and replenishing the spirit stones, he felt slightly relieved.
Take a Qi Gathering Pill and adjust your condition to the peak.
He took out two storage bags and checked his harvest.
"These two people went to do robbery repair?!"
Nine medium-grade spirit stones and more than a thousand low-grade spirit stones.
According to the ratio of one medium-grade spirit stone for one hundred and ten low-grade spirit stones, the total is about two thousand low-grade spirit stones!
There are also five bottles of Qi Gathering Pills.
Youyuetan has not yet been cultivated on a large scale, and the amount refined by the Second Elder is not large. A few bottles of pills are just right for Chen An to use for cultivation.
Get rich!
This does not include the harvest of other magical instruments.
Chen An took out three top-grade magical weapons, the black-backed knife, the wind shuttle and the flying needle, and refined them one by one.
"Heavenly Spirit Fruit Seeds!"
In the corner of the Great Elder’s storage bag, there were three shriveled seeds. Chen An was familiar with first- and second-level spiritual plants and recognized them at a glance.
The Tianling Fruit is the main ingredient for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. According to past experience, there is a high probability that the Foundation Establishment Pill will be harvested!
He wanted to plant it, but the spiritual field was only at the first level, so he could only leave it for later.
Most of the other miscellaneous items were not worth bothering with, so Chen An ignored them.
The only thing worth paying attention to is a few secret letters.
Chen An took a general look and found that it was the correspondence between the Great Elder and his son and the Liu family.
Judging from the content, it turns out that the two elders have betrayed the family and joined forces with each other in an attempt to occupy or destroy Yunwu Valley.
There were even signs that the Chen family was about to be destroyed under the instigation of their father and son!
Chen An was sweating profusely. He had to tell Chen Qing about this as soon as possible.
I finally made it to dawn.
Chen An hurried to the family compound, handed the secret letters to Chen Qing, and told him about what happened last night, but he cleverly glossed over the fighting process. After reading the letter, Chen Qing was shocked and angry: "Liu Zhen! This kid is really vicious!"
It is said that Liu Zhen had secretly killed his two brothers in order to control the family. Most of the elders of the Liu family surrendered to him, and even the head of the family, Liu Shilong, could not do anything about him.
Chen An originally thought that since he had Old Master Chen protecting him, there shouldn't be any problems.
"Fortunately, the old man went out secretly to refine the foundation-building pill, otherwise if the Liu family knew about it, I'm afraid my Chen family would not be able to escape this disaster!" Chen Qing was still frightened.
Chen An was shocked: "The old man is not in the clan?"
"Although we didn't get the foundation-building pill during our trip to the ruins cave, we did get a heavenly spirit fruit. We gathered all the spiritual herbs needed to refine the foundation-building pill some time ago, and the old man went to other domains to find someone to refine it."
Chen Qing continued in a deep voice: "Don't tell anyone about this!"
Chen An nodded solemnly.
This matter involves the core interests of the Chen family, so he naturally will not leak it to the outside world.
Afterwards, Chen Qing and Chen An secretly investigated the tribesmen to prevent other people from rebelling.
Fortunately, apart from the great elder and his son, no abnormalities were found.
At the same time, Chen Qing ordered that, except for those responsible for external business dealings, the tribe members’ entry and exit to Yunwu Mountain would be strictly restricted.
Even if they enter or leave, they have to be checked to prevent anyone from being controlled by the soul control spell again.
Most of the tribesmen complained and expressed their dissatisfaction.
After Chen Qing punished the two offenders, the complaints gradually subsided. In this special period, he had no choice but to do so.
However, this matter did not have much impact on Chen An.
After he returned, he took out the body of the great elder and buried it under the soil using the earth-guiding technique.
According to the last experience of the Liu family, the corpse of a monk can improve the fertility of spiritual fields.
The Great Elder is a little old, but his cultivation level is at the eighth level of Qi training, so the effect should be better than that of the last member of the Liu family.
After dealing with the spiritual field, Chen An practiced every day, took care of the spiritual plants, and drew talismans when he had nothing to do.
Since the Chen family's management has become increasingly strict, there have been fewer trivial matters, and he has more time to practice and cultivate spiritual plants.
Previously, the Soul Condensation Technique was used on perfect spiritual plants to accelerate their ripening. However, there were many spiritual plants in one acre of spiritual field, and Chen An did not have enough spiritual power. Considering the cost-effectiveness, he simply accelerated their growth to perfect quality.
Now that he has broken through to the late stage of Qi training, his spiritual power has become much stronger, and Chen An has also developed the wonderful use of the soul-containing technique.
With his careful daily cultivation, the Eight Treasures Spirit Tree absorbed enough spiritual energy and grew more and more vigorously.
The fairy tree, which was originally estimated to take five years to mature, now only takes about four and a half years.
As time goes by, this time will probably be shortened.
Chen An was overjoyed, thinking about breaking through to another level, and perhaps trying to plant the Heavenly Spirit Fruit!
A year and a half after the Great Elder incident.
Under Chen An's careful care day and night, the Eight Treasures Spirit Tree grew to five feet tall. Judging from the progress bar on the information status, it has matured!
Chen An looked at the five-foot-tall tree. It had lush branches and leaves. Under the shade of the jade-green leaves, he could vaguely see white jade-colored fruits the size of longans.
If you count carefully, there are exactly sixteen!
He suppressed his inner excitement, stretched out his slightly trembling hand, and gently picked the bottom one.
[Harvest a first-level Eight Treasure Spirit Tree fruit and obtain the first level of the Nine Revolutions Samsara Technique]
A mysterious piece of information about martial arts suddenly entered Chen An's mind.
Under the impact of a large amount of information, Chen An's face turned slightly pale and his breathing became a little rapid.
Fortunately, the amount of information was just a little too much and did not cause him much harm.
After calming himself down, Chen An sorted out the skills in his mind. His expression was filled with surprise, joy, and a hint of sadness.
The Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation is a supreme technique that leads directly to the path of immortality. It practices the eight spiritual attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder and ice at the same time. It is extremely mysterious!
At the same time, the lifespan will be longer, about four times that of an ordinary cultivator!
The advantage is that when practicing eight kinds of spiritual power together, the total amount of spiritual power is eight times that of the cultivators of the same level. After practicing, you can be said to be invincible at the same level.
The disadvantages are also obvious, because practicing eight kinds of spiritual power at the same time will be very slow, and it is possible that there is no hope of building a foundation in this lifetime.
Eight attributes practitioners!
Is it difficult? Yes!
If you practice this technique, you may be stuck in the Qi training stage for your entire life, unable to make any progress.
Chen An's thought lasted for a moment, and then disappeared as he picked the second fruit.
