Chapter 112: Subduing the Dragon Elephant

Chapter 112 – Zhen Long Xiang

Chen Fei spent two thousand taels of silver to simplify the Thorn Sword and turn it into the Starry Night Sword, then went straight to the liver, which was destined to be a night of staying up late.

Early the next morning, Chen Fei arrived at the inn with hot spring services.

“Guest, this is our hot spring, eliminating fatigue and refreshing the mind.” The inn mate brought Chen Fei to a small courtyard and introduced him enthusiastically.

Chen Fei probed and looked at it, shook his head, and said, “Is there that kind of hot spring pool that gushes out, this kind is not enough for me.”

“Yes, this way please, guest.”

The fellow nodded and turned to lead Chen Fei to the Heavenly Room, Chen Fei glanced at it, the consumption here was obviously much higher.

“Guest, is this place okay?” The fellow pointed to the hot spring pool in front and asked with a smile.

“Well, book a day first, I’ll give it a try.”

Chen Fei looked at the surging hot spring pool, nodded, paid a sum of silver, and waved the fellow away.

Stripping off his clothes, Chen Fei took a step inside the hot spring pool and proceeded to submerge his entire head into the hot spring.

Zhen Longxiang experience value +1.

In just a moment, a wave of realization suddenly appeared in Chen Fei’s mind, and Chen Fei’s face could not help but reveal a smile.

This hot spring really did meet the requirements, and there was no need for Chen Fei to go and cook himself. Of course, if there was really no other way, Chen Fei would probably bite the bullet and boil it.

And the Zhen Long Xiang, which was like a heavenly book to Chen Fei before, was finally unveiled.

“It’s actually just a part of a set of feats.”

Chen Fei was surprised, after all, this had cost a full fifty thousand taels of silver, and the combined cost of simplifying so many recent feats was not as high as this.

As a result, now Chen Fei was told that it was only a part of the gongfu? Then how much money would be needed to simplify the entire gongfu if Chen Fei got it?
Chen Fei quietly soaked in the hot spring water, the experience value of the Zhen Dragon Elephant was rising, and the various cultivation methods regarding the Zhen Dragon Elephant continued to flow in Chen Fei’s mind.

The complete version of the Suppression Dragon Elephant was divided into three stages, Suppression of Body, Suppression of Spirit, and Suppression of Soul.

What Chen Fei had obtained was the part of body suppression. And as the experience value increased, Chen Fei’s body began to tighten continuously, and the strength in his body was absorbed crazily by all parts of his body.

“Whew!”

Chen Fei rushed his head out of the hot spring in one go, and it was only a matter of moments before Chen Fei’s face turned a little white. It wasn’t from being soaked by the water, but it was caused by the internal energy and even qi and blood being sucked from his body just now.

“It’s true that one has to practice the Orifices Realm to cultivate this, and if the Body Refining Realm cultivates this, one might not have practiced much before one’s self is sucked dry.”

Chen Fei gasped for a few breaths, feeling the hint of tingling coming from his body.

The effect seemed quite obvious, but it just made Chen Fei a little hesitant to continue practicing or not.

Although Chen Fei wasn’t at the Orifice Practicing Realm now, because of the Nayuan Bead, he could actually absorb Yuan Qi, and even after killing Shen Dingyan, the Nayuan Bead now had two of them.

However, this Yuan Qi, Chen Fei was planning to leave it for the internal energy. If it was given to the Zhen Longxiang, Chen Fei’s realm cultivation would definitely be affected.

Chen Fei had always felt that the martial realm was the most fundamental thing. Because of the influence of the realm, Chen Fei’s stance and sword strokes, were constrained because the body hardware could not keep up.

If he could break through to the Marrow Realm, or the Viscera Realm. Even if it was still today’s stance and sword techniques, Chen Fei’s strength would soar by a large margin.

At the same Marrow Realm, Chen Fei’s speed that day was definitely faster than Shen Dingyan’s, and he would have been able to leave him behind long ago. Even if they fought, they wouldn’t be so passive, with the power of the Starry Night Sword Shield, they wouldn’t dare to say that they would win steadily, but at least they wouldn’t lose.

[Technique: Zhen Long Xiang Zhen Body Initiation (3/500)]

Chen Fei glanced at the panel, it was no longer appropriate to cultivate Zhen Long Xiang today, unless he used Yuan Qi, Chen Fei’s body had to collapse.

What made Chen Fei torn today was that in these ten days, even if he used Yuan Qi, he could not actually break through to the Marrow Training Realm. However, if he used Yuan Qi to cultivate the Zhen Dragon Elephant, it was estimated that he could break through to Proficiency.

With this calculation, it seemed as if cultivating the Zhen Dragon Elephant would be more immediately able to produce a little more means.

This kind of thing, body refining, had always belonged to the category of drudgery. It wasn’t that it wasn’t good, but it took a great deal of effort to see results.

Thus, when Chen Fei chose his technique, he had not been able to choose a body refining technique, it was really a lack of time and energy. Moreover, if the level of the body refining technique was not enough, it was still not enough for the other party to poke with a sword.

Chen Fei pondered for a long time and decided to cultivate the Zhen Long Xiang. The main reason for this was that over at the Wind Specter Realm, the likelihood of trying to find such a hot spring site was slim to none.

Since this was the case, it was better to give himself a little more means of preserving his life. Because when he went to the Wind Trick Realm, he would have to face danger from day one.

Making up his mind, Chen Fei opened the small formation of this Heavenly Character Guest Room.

Yes, this inn’s Heavenly Character Room was surprisingly paired with a simple set of formations that had no defense, but could prevent others from prying. There would also be an alarm if someone spied.

After determining that there were no abnormalities in the surroundings, Chen Fei simultaneously stimulated the Nayuan Pearl and the jade pendant. In the next moment, a wave of Yuan Qi was pulled into Chen Fei’s body, and the water around him rippled a little.

Stopping the Tong Yuan Gong that was automatically running in his body, Chen Fei dipped his head under the hot spring.

The Yuan Qi rushed across Chen Fei’s body, but immediately, a pulling force came from all parts of Chen Fei’s body, melting every last bit of this Yuan Qi into his flesh and blood. Just like the Five Realms of Body Refinement, this Zhen Dragon Elephant’s Zhen Body Cultivation Stage also started from the skin and flesh, and finally went deeper into the five viscera and six bowels.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Fei poked his head out, feeling the hidden changes in his body, Chen Fei pondered.

Replacing the depleted Nano Yuan Bead with the other, Chen Fei felt the remaining amount of mind power, he could still use it about half a time more.

Without delay, the aperture of the Nano Yuan Bead flashed and then shattered, a smaller amount of Yuan Qi than just now was sucked in, Chen Fei endured the tingling sensation in his head, and submerged his head under the hot spring once more.

For eight days in a row, Chen Fei didn’t go anywhere, just stayed in the middle of this inn, except for three meals, the rest of the time was all kinds of cultivation.

Although all the Yuan Qi was used to cultivate the Zhen Dragon Elephant, the elixir as well as the lowering of the realm limit by the fourth level of the Tong Yuan Gong still allowed Chen Fei’s realm to continuously push towards the Marrow Training Realm.

The cultivation effect of the Zhen Dragon Elephant was also greatly beyond Chen Fei’s expectations, making Chen Fei somewhat glad for his choice.

Chen Fei stood in front of the hot spring, and the water reflected Chen Fei’s current appearance.

Relative to eight days ago, Chen Fei’s image had actually changed quite a bit. The previously tanned skin had actually started to become fairer now.

Even more obvious were the facial features, the previous Chen Fei was really the appearance of an ordinary person, coupled with the dark face, his looks could be said to be very average. At most, as his cultivation grew behind him, the person looked much more upright.

But now, the person reflected in the water, his features were actually quite three-dimensional, and under a rough look, it felt like there was no change from before. But when you look carefully, the more you look, the more flavorful it is.

Handsome or not this matter, when Chen Fei cared about this matter, superficial!

Chen Fei touched his face, side a bit, looking at the reflection of himself, the corner of his mouth could not help but show a smile.

In addition to the change in appearance, the power contained within Chen Fei’s body at the moment had grown by a large margin. To compare, today’s Chen Fei was equivalent to having the Giant Power state on at all times.

If the Giant Strength trait was iterated, Chen Fei’s power would reach a rather high level.

Not only was it power, Chen Fei’s five senses had all become much sharper, and his senses for the subtle sensations around him had become extremely clear, making Chen Fei’s whole person extremely sharp.

“Thud!”

The sword blade cut through the air with a sound, Chen Fei calmly withdrew the longsword in his hand.

The Zhen Dragon Elephant had allowed Chen Fei’s control over his body to improve by a hair, the direct manifestation of which was that the Sword V had turned into a regular stance that Chen Fei could use with ease.

Sword Six had gone from having to physically hit hard after using it, to being a big burden nowadays.

The control of the body, in exchange, was the weakening of the burden of various moves on the body.

With all of this, in just eight days, although Chen Fei’s cultivation hadn’t broken through to the Marrow Training Realm, his battle power had increased by a large amount overall relative to the initial time.

[Technique: Zhen Dragon Elephant Zhen Body Initiation (325/500)]

“The Zhen Dragon Elephant is surprisingly only a part of it…”

Chen Fei looked at the information on the panel with some regret.

Now that it was still only at the introductory stage, it had granted such a big change, and down the road, as the cultivation continued, it would surely bring Chen Fei more benefits.

Chen Fei put the longsword away and needed to return to the sect.

The Thorn Sword had long since been cultivated to great perfection after so many days of cultivation. The Zhen Longxiang could not be improved much more with another day. More critically, Chen Fei still needed to purchase a few more things and had to return to the sect today as well.

If Chen Fei was late, he wouldn’t know how many misunderstandings he would cause if he was to leave early tomorrow morning.

Half an hour later, Chen Fei walked out from a store with a strong bow in his hand.

The cultivation of Zhen Longxiang had made the original bow more or less weak, unable to bring out Chen Fei’s strength advantage. He was about to break through the Marrow Training Realm, and his power would grow again at that time, so he would change his bow first, lest he would be left without a bow at that time.

An hour later, Chen Fei appeared in the sect and went to see Feng Xiupu and Guo Linshan.

“Junior Brother, I’ve already found a good team for you, and the other party has agreed to accept you into the team.” Guo Linshan looked at Chen Fei and smiled.

“Thanks for your help, senior brother!” Chen Fei arched his hand and said.

“Junior Brother, haven’t seen you for a few days, why do I feel like you’ve changed your appearance.” Guo Lingshan stared at Chen Fei’s face and scratched his head in a somewhat strange manner.

It always felt that Junior Brother had become ugly ah, when he was dark and strong, how good. Now how come it’s still white?
Early the next morning, on the sect’s martial arts field, hundreds of people were assembled, these were the disciples who were traveling to the Wind Trick Realm this time.

“Ge Hongjie, this is Chen Fei, next in the Wind Trick Realm, I’m counting on you!” Guo Linsan brought Chen Fei, to a burly man.

Ge Hongjie raised his head, looked Chen Fei up and down, nodded slightly, then lowered his head again and began to organize his things.

“That’s how he is, cold on the face and hot on the inside.” Guo Linshan explained to Chen Fei with some embarrassment.
