Although Xiao Chen could guess that the Sword Spirit Ao Jiao appearing out of nowhere was not as simple as she made it out to be, based on her current attitude, it was clear that she was unable to be honest with Xiao Chen.
Furthermore, no matter how he called out, she would not come out. Xiao Chen could only suppress the doubts in his heart. Coincidentally, at this moment, the infant Spirit Fox ran back and entered the Spirit Blood Jade.
Xiao Chen turned his gaze to the entrance of the cave and sent out his Spiritual Sense. He saw the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox trying to stand up. In a short while, it would probably run out of the cave.
Hurriedly withdrawing his Spiritual Sense, Xiao Chen executed the Gravity Spell and flew up. After flying for a long time, he found a big tree in the dark night and stopped on it. He sat down cross-legged and calmed himself down.
After swallowing an Essence Nurturing Pill, Xiao Chen sat on this big tree and started to cultivate. The Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, which had already reached the second layer, circulated even faster in his body. The surrounding Spiritual Energy frantically poured into Xiao Chen's body.
The thick Spiritual Energy in his body was like lead mercury, slowly circulating in his meridians. After a small cycle, it finally gathered in his Dantian. Under the effects of the Essence Nurturing Pill, the amount of Spiritual Energy that Xiao Chen absorbed in a small cycle was more than double that of a regular cultivator.
The Blue Dragon, which was surrounded by white clouds, opened its mouth and happily absorbed the huge amount of Spiritual Energy into its body. Immediately, the three white clouds floating in the surroundings became even more vibrant, and their color became even whiter.
"Hu!"
The Blue Dragon opened its mouth and spat out a stream of pure Essence. After that, it entered his meridians and entered his flesh and bones, continuously nourishing Xiao Chen's body.
Normally, a cultivator's cultivation focused on cultivating their spirit. That was to say, they would use the Spiritual Energy they absorbed to cultivate their Martial Spirit. As their Martial Spirit and cultivation realm increased, they would strengthen themselves.
Xiao Yulan was a classic example. After continuous cultivation, her Martial Spirit had already reached a very strong realm. The Poinsettia could turn into countless petals and poisonous gas, strengthening her combat prowess in battle.
However, Xiao Chen's cultivation method was somewhat different. With the Blue Dragon Martial Soul absorbing the Spiritual Energy, he could use it a second time to temper his bones and flesh.
This was also because he did not know the exact abilities of the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit. However, every Martial Spirit had its own distinct abilities. For example, the Poinsettia was extremely poisonous, while Zhang He's Haotian Sword allowed him to unleash sword Qi at the Martial Master realm.
However, no one knew what specific abilities Xiao Chen's Blue Dragon Martial Soul had. Regarding this aspect of inheritance, it could be said that the Xiao Clan had been completely cut off. If they wanted to rely on themselves to uncover it, it would not be something that could be understood in a short period of time.
Concentrating and guarding his Qi, Xiao Chen circulated the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in his body for forty-nine cycles. The Blue Dragon Martial Soul in his Dantian suddenly began to swell.
This kind of swelling feeling did not cause him any pain. Instead, it made him feel extremely excited. Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. This meant that he was about to make a breakthrough.
Xiao Chen's foundations were good in the first place. These days, he had been using the Essence Nurturing Pill to aid his cultivation. In addition to the continuous battles, it was only natural for him to enter the Medial Grade Martial Disciple realm.
"Bang!"
That swelling feeling was suddenly released. The Dantian in his body was in a state of chaos. The Spiritual Energy was like a fog spreading out. Xiao Chen carefully tidied up the fog.
After a while, the situation of the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit became clear. The white clouds that were originally floating around the Blue Dragon had increased from three to five. Xiao Chen could clearly feel that the Essence stored in his body had increased significantly.
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Xiao Chen continued to circulate the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, consolidating his newly advanced Medial Grade Martial Disciple realm. The Blue Dragon Martial Spirit also continued to spit out Essence, nourishing Xiao Chen's flesh and blood.
When Xiao Chen opened his eyes again, the sky in the mountains was already bright. The mountain was covered in dew, causing Xiao Chen to feel incomparably refreshed. He took a deep breath and felt very refreshed.
Jumping down from the tree, Xiao Chen extended out his Spiritual Sense. He felt that the range of his Spiritual Sense had increased significantly.
I have to hurry back. When Liu Fenglin returns and sees me and the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox disappearing at the same time, he will definitely be suspicious. The longer I disappear, the harder it will be to explain the situation.
Although he had to hurry back, Xiao Chen was not in a rush. Along the way, he released his Spiritual Sense. The green dot in his Spiritual Sense was able to find the hidden herbs in an instant.
With such a good opportunity and the free time Xiao Chen had, naturally, he would not let go of these herbs that he had obtained for free.
Herbs from the lowest grade to the highest grade were categorized into nine grades. Anything above Grade 4 could be considered Superior Grade herbs. These herbs could be worth thousands of gold anywhere.
Herbs above Grade 6 were considered to be of the best quality. Grade 8 and 9 herbs were considered peerless. They were excellent ingredients for refining pills. Some natural treasures could even be consumed directly.
However, there were no Medicinal Pills above Grade 6 in Seven Horn Mountain. The main reason was that the mountain did not have sufficient Spiritual Energy and there were no good Spirit Veins. The Red Nascent Fruit that Xiao Chen obtained was only a Grade 6 herb.
Along the way, as long as it was a Grade 2 herb, Xiao Chen would place it in his Universe Ring. In two hours, his Universe Ring was filled with a large pile of herbs.
Such a large harvest was comparable to a day's worth of effort by a regular herb gatherer.
"It is actually a Grade 5 Earth Poria. My luck is pretty good." Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. He carefully picked it and placed it in his Universe Ring.
Just as he was about to reach the Xiao Clan's encampment, Xiao Chen unexpectedly obtained a Grade 5 Earth Poria.
Grade 5 Earth Poria had a cold nature and a stable medicinal effect. It could play a supporting role in many medicinal pills. It could greatly increase the success rate of medicinal pills. When refined alone, it could also be used to detoxify and remove dampness.
When Xiao Chen raised his head and looked, the Xiao Clan's encampment was already in front of him. He stopped picking herbs and calmed himself down before slowly walking towards the encampment.
When the guard in front of the encampment saw Xiao Chen suddenly appear, he was stunned for a moment. Then, his face lit up with joy. He quickly ran over and said, "Second Young Master, you are finally back. The First Elder and the others sent several groups of people to look for you yesterday."
They sent several groups of people to look for me?
It looks like I will have to spend a lot of effort to explain later. I have to think of a good excuse, Xiao Chen thought to himself. After he asked where the First Elder was and obtained an answer, Xiao Chen walked towards the great hall.
Releasing his Spiritual Sense, Xiao Chen quickly saw Liu Fenglin and the others in the great hall. Within the great hall, the First Elder, Third Elder, and Liu Fenglin all had ugly expressions on their faces. It looked like the events of the previous night had caused them a lot of trouble.
In a corner, Xiao Chen was surprised to see Xiao Yulan. She was there as well, her face filled with worry.
"First Elder, have you not found Second Young Master yet?" Liu Fenglin had a sullen expression as he asked indifferently.
Xiao Qiang was feeling vexed over this matter. The people he sent out yesterday had searched for an entire night, but they did not find any traces of Xiao Chen. When he heard Liu Fenglin's tone, he could not help but feel displeased.
However, no matter what, Liu Fenglin was the only Martial Saint in the Xiao Clan. Xiao Qiang still had to rely on him for many things, so he did not dare to vent his anger on him. He restrained the displeasure in his heart and said, "There is still no news. The people I sent out reported that there were no obvious traces of him on the ground."
It would be strange if they could find any traces. Xiao Chen's Gravity Spell allowed him to fly in the sky. How could he be found on the ground?
With regards to this answer, Liu Fenglin was not too surprised. After all, the events of the previous night were too strange. The heavily injured Six-Tailed Spirit Fox and Xiao Chen actually disappeared at the same time. Furthermore, there were no traces of them at all.
When Xiao Yulan heard this, her face became even more worried. In the instant she raised her head, she suddenly saw Xiao Chen standing outside the door with a smile.
Xiao Yulan, who thought that she was seeing things, rubbed her eyes. Only then did she dare to believe that what she saw was real. She said happily, "Cousin Xiao Chen, you are back."
When everyone in the hall heard this, they immediately turned to look outside. They only saw Xiao Chen standing outside the door, perfectly fine. He slowly walked in.
"Xiao Chen, where is that Six-Tailed Spirit Fox? Where did you take it? "Liu Fenglin immediately asked loudly when he saw Xiao Chen.
Xiao Qiang frowned slightly and said slowly, "Xiao Chen, speak slowly. What exactly happened last night? Where did the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox go?"
Xiao Chen had already thought of a countermeasure in his heart. He smiled and said, "I'm not sure. After you all left, I felt that I was about to make a breakthrough. So, I found a place to advance. I only just heard what happened after that."
He advanced?
Only now did everyone realize that Xiao Chen had already broken through from Inferior Grade Martial Disciple to Medial Grade Martial Disciple. They could not help but feel astonished. This Xiao Chen's cultivation speed was too fast.
He had only condensed his Martial Spirit a month ago. Now, he had already broken through to Medial Grade Martial Disciple. This speed was comparable to the geniuses of some of the big clans.
When Xiao Qiang heard this, he felt joy in his heart. With Xiao Chen advancing at such a godly speed, his chances of winning the Promise of Ten Years in three months had increased significantly. He smiled and said, "Congratulations. Elder Liu, are you satisfied with this reason?"
Liu Fenglin snorted coldly, "I don't care whether you advance or not. Hand over the Spirit Blood Jade."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and sat down on a chair. He drank a mouthful of tea and tossed the Spirit Blood Jade onto the table. Liu Fenglin felt joy in his heart and stretched out his hand to grab it.
The corner of Xiao Chen's mouth curled up into a cold smile. He said unhurriedly, "Elder Liu, I have already sealed the infant Spirit Fox in this Spirit Blood Jade. If you want it, then take it. However, I believe that you will not live to see the day the Spirit Fox grows up."
Liu Fenglin's expression changed greatly. He released his aura and shouted angrily, "How dare you! Are you seeking death?!"
Under the aura of a Martial Saint, along with Liu Fenglin's angry roar, the aura pressed down on Xiao Chen. The surrounding air seemed to freeze momentarily. Everyone could feel Liu Fenglin's anger.
Xiao Chen did not feel any fear. This was not the first time he had faced the aura of a Martial Saint. The Blue Dragon Martial Spirit in his body gave off a faint pressure, easily blocking this overflowing aura.
With a thought, the infant Spirit Fox in the Spirit Blood Jade leaped out. Although this little fellow did not have much strength, it was still a Spirit Fox. Although this little fellow did not have much strength, it was the descendant of a Six-Tailed Spirit Fox. It was a natural Rank 6 Spirit Beast. Naturally, it was not afraid of this aura.
With a gentle jump, it landed in Xiao Chen's embrace. Xiao Chen gently stroked the pure white fur of the infant Spirit Fox and said, "Elder Liu, you saw it for yourself. I did not lie to you, right?"
