91. Chapter 89 – Breakthrough, Strength Soars (Fourth Request)
Chapter 89 – Breakthrough, Strength Soars (Fourth Shift Requests Booking)
“Five thousand two hundred points left.”
Chen Fan looked at his remaining points.
The remaining two hundred zeros made him commit OCD.
“Erase the zeros, and another Deadwood Astringent Technique.”
Soon, Chen Fan found another Wood Attribute Auxiliary Spell among the many spells.
Casting this spell would allow the cultivator’s breath to converge inwardly, becoming like a withered wood, making it difficult to be detected.
At certain times, this type of auxiliary spell was still very useful.
“I make a wish that my spiritual root qualifications will be maximized.”
After choosing the spell elixir he needed, Chen Fan made his own little wish for the day and lay down on the bed, falling into a deep sleep.
Sleeping was not a necessity for Immortal Cultivators.
Meditation could also be used to restore one’s body.
It was only because he was injured this time and his mind was tired that he wanted to sleep.
“Have the things arrived already?”
A day later, Chen Fan woke up and moved his muscles and bones, and realized that the spiritual pills and spells he had bought had been delivered.
“Six spells ……”
Chen Fan shook his head, knowing that he had, next, some cultivation to do.
A one-star medium grade spiritual root, for most of the disciples of Cangwu Mountain, they belonged to the ranks of geniuses.
But such a spiritual root qualification was still a little too poor in his eyes.
At the very least, the Wooden Vine Technique that he had been practicing for a month was still not good enough at this point.
It could be imagined that his purchase of these spells this time would not be very useful to him for a month or two.
However, much of Immortal Cultivator’s cultivation was measured in years.
When he stretched the timeline, it would be different again.
“Take your time!”
Chen Fan sank his heart.
He resisted the urge to immediately cultivate these spells and first ran the Five Spirit Yuan Qi Scripture a few times.
Only after feeling a hint of growth in his cultivation and his mind was a little tired did he take out the Wind Sentinel Art from the six spells.
“Royal Wind Art!”
After twenty days or so, Chen Fan’s mind moved, and he transformed his mana, into a wisp of clear wind that surrounded him.
These clear winds turned gently, and with a single movement of his mind, they lifted his entire body and slowly rose into mid-air.
The Wind Control Technique, a relatively basic spell, was also a spell that many Immortal Cultivators wanted to master.
It didn’t have much killing power, but in many times, it was able to play a huge role.
At this moment, Chen Fan stood in mid-air, looking at the lush forest of demonic wood, his heart bursting with relief.
The Wind Sentry Technique belonged to the Wind Attribute Spells.
However, because he possessed the five elemental spiritual roots, it helped him in comprehending many spells.
Therefore after using twenty days, he had finally mastered this spell, and now all he needed to do was to skill up a little bit.
“Whew!”
Chen Fan executed the Wind Sentry Technique and slowly flew ten meters into the air.
“Shoo!”
In the next second, the Green Wood Sword was offered by him, and with a swoosh, it shot towards a tree branch in the distance.
Only to his embarrassment, this sword of his directly deflected to a meter away.
“The Sword Royal Art needs to continue to be strengthened ……”
Chen Fan shook his head.
The current him, casting the Royal Sword Art, had no problem attacking a fixed target.
But attacking a moving target, or attacking a fixed target while he himself was moving, would be somewhat deflected.
This could only be changed by practicing continuously and achieving a subtle control over the Royal Sword Art.
……
“This time, we’re afraid that we’re going to be at the bottom of the Five Sect Exchange Meeting.”
In the Cangwu Mountain Sect Master Hall, Xu Zhouji and several elders gathered together.
“Can’t we thank Ancient City?”
An elder opened his mouth and asked.
“He’s only at the ninth level of Qi Practicing, he’s still a bit short.” The elder in charge of the Ancient Sword Abyss shook his head.
Right now, in Cangwu Mountain, there were a total of two Qi Practicing Stage disciples with Upper Grade Spiritual Roots.
It was just that one of these two disciples was a young girl named Jiang Xuexian who had joined three years ago, because of her young age, the sect had been enlightening her for the past two years, and had only just begun teaching her to cultivate this year.
The other person, was Xie Gucheng who joined seven years ago, Xie Gucheng was also only eight years old when he first joined Cangwu Mountain.
The sect has given him two years of enlightenment.
Then he spent five years cultivating to the ninth level of Qi Practicing.
But with such a cultivation realm, it was clearly impossible to achieve results in this once-in-a-decade Five Sect Disciple Exchange Conference.
“Bottom of the pile is bottom of the pile, after this time, next time, that girl Jiang Xuexian will be the one to make a move.”
“There’s also Chen Fan, this kid’s Spiritual Root Qualification is rare in the world, after ten years, he might be able to make it as well.”
“Chen Fan …… I watched his Demon Wood Forest trial last time, he has a talent for fighting, but he chose the Physical Cultivation path, should this be stopped?” An elder spoke up.
“There is no need to care much about this.”
Xu Zhouji shook his head, “Chen Fan is different from the others, he is older than everyone else, he must have his own considerations when he chooses to take the Physical Cultivation course.”
……
“Whew!”
A few days later, Chen Fan walked out of the mist covered in blood.
Just now, he had completed his second month-end trial in the Demon Wood Forest.
Originally, he thought that since he had wildly swiped more than 8,000 points last time, the sect might place him in the fifth level of Qi Practicing this time.
As a result, the sect unexpectedly didn’t care about him in the slightest, and still left him in the team at the fourth level of Qi Practicing.
He then furiously swiped another eight thousand points in this trial.
If it wasn’t for the fact that demonic beasts and evil creatures were too hard to find, he would have definitely been able to brush even more.
“Just two trials and I’ve saved over ten thousand points, what if I cultivate here for a few years?”
Chen Fan was excited in his heart. In Cangwu Mountain, a lower-grade magic weapon like the Greenwood Sword in his hand could be exchanged for one with just two thousand points.
With more than ten thousand points, one could exchange five pieces of the Greenwood Sword and more.
“The Greenwood Sword is enough for now.”
“When my cultivation improves in the future, I’ll use the points again and exchange for higher grade flying swords.”
“These unused points, I can save them up first.”
Chen Fan was not worried about having too many points at all.
This thing called points, there was only not enough to spend.
Right now, he felt that he had more points, and that was because his cultivation level was too low.
When his cultivation level was high, no amount of points would be enough.
At that time, whether it was a magic weapon or a potion, the price would rise as his cultivation increased.
“Has Senior Sister Ruan broken through the Demon Wood Forest yet?”
One day, three months after Chen Fan came to the Demon Wood Forest, he learned from Luo Zhiwen that Ruan Wenzhu had finally broken out of the Demon Wood Forest.
In that case, it would probably be a few years before they saw each other again in the future.
“Shoo!”
In the Demon Wood Forest, Chen Fan waved his hand, and a tough wooden vine was wrapped around a large tree, and then he quickly swung forward as if he was swinging on a swing.
After three months of cultivation, his utilization of the Wooden Vine Technique had finally reached the level of pure perfection.
This level of Wooden Vine Art could already be used in battle.
A fourth level Qi Refining Stage demonic beast at the same level as him would need at least a breath of time to break free from his Wooden Vine Art.
And within that one breath, he would have already sacrificed his flying sword and pierced it through the gut.
“Eh?”
Suddenly, Chen Fan saw a silhouette, walking over from the distance.
“Senior Brother Liu?”
His eyes lit up.
“Whoosh!”
In the next second, he shot out an Illusory Wooden Vine and wrapped it around a tree branch in the distance, then borrowed the traction of the wooden vine and swung through the air several times in succession, arriving in front of Liu Mingqing.
“Senior Brother Liu, how is it?”
Chen Fan asked at Liu Mingqing.
“It’s done, next time for the end of the month trial, I’ll go to the team at the fifth level of Qi Practicing, so I won’t have to bear your pressure in the future.” Liu Mingqing’s face was filled with smiles.
He had already been in the Demon Wood Forest for a few years, and this time, he had finally broken through to the fifth level of Qi Practicing.
In the Demon Wood Forest, there were only forty or so disciples at the fifth level of Qi Practicing, and now he had finally joined the ranks as well.
Most of all, he no longer wanted to participate in the end of the month trials with Chen Fan.
“Congratulations.”
Chen Fan smiled and congratulated him.
……
“Looks like we need to buy some blood crystals.”
A few days later, Chen Fan used up all the blood crystals he had collected in the Blood Abyss.
The further one progressed in physical cultivation, the more resources one needed.
Therefore he was, at this time, still at the fifth level of Body Refinement and hadn’t been able to break through.
Fortunately, every time the Blood Abyss Mystic Realm opened, the blood crystals obtained by the martial artists who entered the mystic realm were mostly sold to the five major clans in the end.
“Let’s buy two thousand points of blood crystals first.”
He took out his identity token and directly spent a price equivalent to a Greenwood Sword to purchase a large pile of blood crystals.
“With these blood crystals, along with the stone of true blood, I should be able to break through to the sixth level of Body Refinement in a few more months.”
Even though he was about to break through, he was calm.
After this period of time, he had become more and more adapted to the long concept of time for Immortal Cultivators.
“Has the Five Sect Exchange started?”
After buying the blood crystals, Chen Fan swept the internal space of the token and saw on the disciple exchange board the news that the once-in-a-decade Five Sect Exchange Meeting had begun.
Regarding the Five Sect Exchange Meeting, he knew about it a month ago, and knew that it was an exchange meeting where disciples of the five major sects at the Qi Refining Stage would compete and spar with each other.
“So strong!”
Chen Fan opened the image uploaded into the disciple exchange board by the disciples of the Formation Pavilion and watched it with great interest.
Each and every one of these disciples from the five major sects participating in the exchange meeting was extremely strong.
Swords were flying through the air, dodging one attack after another.
Waving their hands, they condensed talismans with their mana.
Or casting ultra-long range thunder spells to attack and kill the enemy.
All sorts of means were available.
Chen Fan watched with extreme fervor.
The means displayed by these disciples were clearly not on the same level as him.
“Still have to work hard.”
Chen Fan lamented.
This Five Sect Disciple Exchange Meeting lasted for a total of three days.
In the end, the first place in the disciple exchange meeting was taken by a disciple named Mu Shiwen from the Qingyang Sect.
According to some people’s descriptions, this person was clearly a genius with a two-star upper-grade spiritual root.
“Upper grade spirit root ah.”
Chen Fan’s heart yearned, thinking that he didn’t know when he would be able to raise his spiritual root to upper grade as well.
……
“This is ……”
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it came to half a year after Chen Fan came to Cangwu Mountain.
On this day, he had just been running the Five Spirit Yuan Qi Sutra for a short while when his heart suddenly became clear.
Subsequently, all the things that he had practiced in the Five Spirit Elemental Air Scripture during these half a year surfaced in his mind.
And then, it was as if his mind had communicated with heaven and earth, seeing the Laws Mysteries.
