The spiritual water condensed by cultivators was not limitless. This was like eating a meal. After eating a certain amount of food, one would reach a state of 'saturation' and must rest for a period of time. After digesting, one could continue eating. Cultivators refining spiritual water also followed the same logic. Every time after refining a certain amount of 'spiritual energy', one would need to nourish for a period of time.
The path of cultivation itself was an extremely time-consuming process. It required painstaking effort, calming one's Qi and concentrating one's mind, and unceasingly refining.
And the 'Spirit Devouring Art', this bizarre cultivation method, was able to greatly increase the 'saturation' of cultivation. Refining spiritual energy was endless, just like a ferocious beast that could never be full. Furthermore, the speed at which it devoured spiritual energy was far higher than other cultivation methods. This led to its cultivation speed being incomparably fast. Compared to other people, it was simply like there was no bottleneck!
After cultivating for over 40 hours, Chu Chen finally felt that he was slightly 'full'. After he stopped cultivating, he let out a long breath. In his Dantian, besides the two shining ink-colored spirit waters, there was an ink-colored spirit water embryo the size of a mung bean that was emitting a faint light, which was dazzling to look at.
At this speed, if he cultivated for a few more days, he could directly condense the third drop of spiritual water and advance to the third level of the spirit water!
"Kid, I have to admire your cultivation method. The speed is quite fast."
His chest trembled, and a red hamster's head stretched out. Looking at Chu Chen, a strange look emerged in its eyes. "Looks like you have quite a few secrets on you. This cultivation method... seems to be somewhat similar to a peerless divine art that I saw back then. "
"Oh?"
Chu Chen's heart stirred slightly. "Then can you tell who this cultivation method was passed down to?"
"Your realm is still too low. I can't tell. You only have a tiny bit of that cultivation method's aura. I'm still not too sure." The little hamster rolled its eyes. "Oh right, you're tired from cultivating. You should go train your combat skills."
"Combat skills?" Chu Chen was stunned. "How do I train? Where do I go?"
"Since I want you to train your combat skills, I naturally have a good place!" The little hamster looked at him as if he was an idiot. With a whoosh, it jumped onto Chu Chen's shoulder and crossed its legs leisurely with a proud look on its face.
"It seems that there are things that a little monster like you doesn't know. Cultivators of the Immortal Dao would train their combat skills. Naturally, they wouldn't randomly slash around like a mortal! That was the bravery of an ignorant man! There was an enormous' Illusory Immortal Realm 'in this world. As long as a cultivator opened their spiritual consciousness, they could enter that illusory world. Inside, you will have an illusory body that looks exactly like you. However, all of that was just an illusion, no matter who he fought or killed. My body won't be harmed in the slightest. It's the best place to train my combat skills! "
"Oh, there's such a place?"
Chu Chen's eyes twitched. There were many secrets in the world of cultivators. If one hadn't reached that realm, they wouldn't have the qualifications to know about them. Because Chu Chen's cultivation was limited, his exposure to the world was also limited. He had never heard of such a secret before. Immediately, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then, how can I enter that Illusory Immortal Realm?"
"It's very simple. You just need to have a special communication jade tablet. You didn't know about this before, so you probably didn't get involved in this field. Generally, in the market square of a sect, there are some secret places that sell it. As for this sect, hmm, I think it's at West Street No. 36. It's behind that big blacksmith shop. You can go take a look. "
"Then what are we waiting for!" Chu Chen's interest was piqued when he heard that. He jumped out of bed and quickly packed his things.
"That thing is quite expensive. You'd better bring more spirit stones." The little hamster smacked its lips and went back to sleep in Chu Chen's arms.
Chu Chen had been to the blacksmith shop that the little hamster mentioned before. It was the largest blacksmith shop in the entire Biquan Xianzong. Back then, Chu Chen had come here to refine the fragment of the Eight Trigrams Furnace. Now that he was here, he suddenly remembered that his Taiyi Purple Blood Furnace was still at the Xu Clan's Blacksmith Shop. This time, he went to get his furnace.
However, when he arrived at the Xu Clan's Blacksmith Shop, he saw that the shop's door was tightly shut. The doors and windows were all locked, causing him to frown. This Master Xu really made him speechless. Not only did he not open the shop every day to receive customers, but he also often went missing. It was as if he didn't care about his business at all.
He shook his head. It seemed that he could only come back next time.
After circling around the Blacksmith Street, Chu Chen finally found a secluded alley. After walking for half an incense stick's worth of time, a low-rise house came into view. There wasn't even a sign hanging at the door, and the light was dim.
When he walked in, he saw that the furnishings in the house were quite simple. A few boxes were messily placed around, and in the middle was a long cabinet. Behind the counter, an old man with white hair was sleeping soundly and snoring.
He looked around suspiciously. This place looked like a small tavern in the secular world. It didn't look like a place that sold anything good. However, after walking around in a big circle, he only saw this small alley. In desperation, Chu Chen could only slightly cup his hands and lightly cough. "Sir, do you sell communication jade tablets?"
"Hmph, hmph, hmph …" The snoring was still there.
"Sir!" The corner of Chu Chen's mouth twitched. His business improved by a notch.
"Hmph, hmph, hmph …"
…
"Sir!"
Chu Chen's face twitched a few times. Finally, he couldn't help but roar, and his tongue was like spring thunder. In an instant, it was as if a sudden clap of thunder had descended from heaven and earth, causing the old man who was sleeping soundly to suddenly wake up.
"What's going on … What's going on … What's going on???" The old man's sleepy eyes widened. After his gaze swept around the house a few times, it finally focused on Chu Chen. "It's you. Where did this uneducated brat come from?! Don't you know that it's very rude to disturb an old man's sleep?! "
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Chu Chen's face. "Sir, you were sleeping too soundly. This junior had no choice but to disturb you. Please forgive me."
"Alright, alright. What did you come here for?" The old man waved his hand impatiently. It seemed that he was very unhappy that Chu Chen had disturbed his sleep.
"Sir, do you have a communication jade tablet to enter the 'Illusory Immortal Realm'?" Chu Chen asked hesitantly. To be honest, he was very doubtful.
However, when the old man heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. "Nonsense. I don't have it here. Where would I have it? … However, I won't sell it to someone like you who disturbs people's dreams. "
Chu Chen was stunned. This old man had too much personality.
"Sir, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose."
