Chapter 197 - 197: 194: Spear Technique Returns to the Beginning, Heaven and Man Unite_l
Yang Chen was delighted by the thick spiritual energy around him: “This is the effect I wanted. With this Gathering Spirit Array, I am confident in breaking through to the Second Level of the Spirit Martial Realm. Now, if I combine this with my self-created elixir, it’s not impossible to break through to the Third
Level of the Spirit Martial Realm in one go.”
Not everyone can enjoy the benefits of a Gathering Spirit Array.
Moreover, a sophisticated Gathering Spirit Array like the one constructed by the Rainbow Fish Clan was extremely rare in the outside world. Although small, its intricacy far surpassed that of the Gathering Spirit Array enjoyed by the Liaocheng Guard Army.
“Young Master, are you going to practice alchemy again?” Caihong asked curiously as she saw Yang Chen take out the Pill Furnace.
Yang Chen smiled indifferently: “The elixir I am going to refine this time is called the Qi Filling Pill. This pill can instantly absorb and refine the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi around the user. It might not be of great use to those in the later stages of the Spirit Martial Realm, but it works wonders for martial artists within the first five levels. If I just have the Gathering Spirit Array to support me, I could at most break through to the Second Level of the Spirit Martial Realm. But with the addition of the Qi Filling Pill, I have confidence in breaking through to the Third Level of the Spirit Martial Realm in one attempt!”
“Qi Filling Pill? A Third-tier High Rank Elixir!” Caihong exclaimed.
Other mermaid girls also looked on in admiration as they were clearly aware of the exquisite nature of the Qi Filling Pill.
“Your clan’s inherited memories are really impressive, knowing even obscure elixirs. The Qi Filling Pill is not a mainstream elixir after all,” Yang Chen praised.
“Naturally.” Caihong snorted but soon asked cautiously, “Young Master, you are so skilled in alchemy, have you ever heard of the Life Extension Pill?”
Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh, thinking Caihong wouldn’t ask about it.
Immediately, he pretended to be surprised, “Of course I’ve heard of it. Why do vou ask about the Life Extension Pill?”
Caihong hesitated: “Young Master may not know, our Fishpeople Tribe is knowledgeable about the world and humanity, but the most difficult thing for us is our lifespan. We are born unable to cultivate and have a limited lifespan. We can’t live very long and can only rely on life-extending treasures to sustain our lives!”
No one wants to live a short life, and the Fishpeople Tribe is no exception.
With Yang Chen’s knowledge, how could he not be aware of the weakness of the Fishpeople Tribe?
He just didn’t mention it, knowing that Caihong would eventually bring it up.
The Fishpeople Tribe was still wary of him and unable to trust him completely. If he had initiated the topic, it would only make them more suspicious. So he had never been in a hurry.
He believed that time would gradually strengthen their bond, and the Fishpeople Tribe would recognize his character.
Now, hearing Caihong’s question, Yang Chen calmly replied: “Life Extension Pill, a Fifth Grade High-Level Elixir. Although it’s a bit difficult, I can still refine it. However, gathering the materials might be a challenge. Once I collect them in the future, I will help you refine the pill.”
“Young Master, really?”
“Young Master, you are too kind to us.”
With tears in her eyes, Caihong said, “Young Master, we, the Fishpeople Tribe, will do our best to assist you without expressing our gratitude.”
Although Yang Chen simply agreed, he undeniably had solved a major problem for the Fishpeople Tribe. Although they could also refine elixirs, the Life Extension Pill was a high-level elixir that required the awakening of a large number of inherited memories to be capable of refining it. Even if they awakened these memories, how could they collect the materials required?
In the end, wouldn’t they still have to rely on Yang Chen?
“Alright,” Yang Chen laughed, “Once I refine the pill, then you can thank me.
Let’s leave those words of gratitude for now. Since I brought you out of
Monster Beast Mountain, I have never treated you as an outsider.”
Hearing this, Caihong’s cheeks flushed. She thought to herself that even Yang Chen hadn’t treated her as an outsider, yet her Fishpeople Tribe still discussed being cautious around humans every day, even including Yang Chen in their suspicions.Compared to Yang Chen, they were being too cautious.
At this moment, Yang Chen waved his hand: “Since the Gathering Spirit Array is complete, you all can return to the Eight Extremities Flowing River’s mustard seed space. I’m going to start my breakthrough.”
“Yes, Young Master!”
“Young Master, we’re leaving!”
The mermaid girls entered the Eight Extremities Flowing River’s Mustard Seed Space one after another.
Meanwhile, Yang Chen took a few calming breaths and took out the Starfire to refine the Qi Filling Pill!
The Qi Filling Pill, a mere third-grade elixir, was naturally easy for him to create. In less than the time it takes for a cup of tea to brew, the pill was ready.
Yang Chen held the Qi Filling Pill and refined it into his body. In an instant, he could feel the majestic spiritual energy from the Gathering Spirit Array surge into him.
The Gathering Spirit Array, as the name implies, is for gathering spirits. The array relies on Spirit Stones as its foundation, with more Spirit Stones resulting in more gathered spiritual energy. Yang Chen had invested a lot in spirit stones. Combined with the ability of the Qi Filling Pill to automatically refine the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi and absorb it into his body, Yang Chen felt his internal spiritual energy swell and become restless in an instant.
He knew that he had to start his breakthrough immediately.
Yang Chen muttered under his breath, “Let’s begin!”
As his words faded, he closed his eyes and started the breakthrough.
In the blink of an eye, one double-hour passed, then two double-hours.
One day and one night.
Two days.
Three days!
Inside the room, Yang Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
At this moment, the spiritual energy generated from the spirit stones in the Gathering Spirit Array had been completely depleted. Yang Chen’s aura was much stronger than it had been three days ago, and he had clearly entered the Third Layer of the Spirit Martial Realm, unrivaled in power!
Yang Chen was overjoyed: “My luck isn’t too bad. The effect of the Qi Filling Pill was fully utilized, and most importantly, the effect of this Gathering Spirit Array is incredibly good. It’s not much different from the formations I’ve seen before.”
“With both of these factors combined, I’ve successfully reached the Third Layer of the Spirit Martial Realm!”
Feeling the more abundant true qi within his body, Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile. If he now faced the Third Master from his past, he would have complete confidence in defeating him in one move. With his current strength combined with his two trump cards—the Black Mountain Black Bear—he would still be able to put up a fight against even a high-level Spirit Martial Realm expert.
“In addition, my Enemy Overcoming Style spear technique is also nearing perfection,” Yang Chen thought.
In recent days, his Enemy Overcoming Style was only one step away from perfection. Now, everything was in place, and he was confident he could break through to perfection in one fell swoop with his current state of mind and thoughts.
With these thoughts in mind, Yang Chen sat cross-legged on the ground.
“Phantom Shadows, a hundred illusions, a thousand illusions. All are false, created by my true qi, and not real. Perhaps my spear technique is enough with just one strike!”
“Spear Shadows return to the beginning, harmonizing heaven and man as one!”
