Chapter 77

Zhan Chen wandered around in the treasury, but he couldn't find what he wanted. As time passed, he suddenly saw an exquisite jade pendant on one of the shelves. It was engraved with a picture of a snow plum blossom. It was very beautiful.

So he carefully looked at the description. This jade pendant was called the Tranquil Jade Pendant. When worn, it could make a martial artist feel refreshed and invulnerable. It was also a rare treasure. He couldn't help but think of Su Yun's beautiful face. He thought, "If this jade pendant was worn on Su Yun's neck, how beautiful would she be?"

Thinking of this, he unconsciously revealed a silly smile. At this moment, he heard Elder Hong Yi call from the door, "Zhan Chen, time's up. You should come out."

Zhan Chen didn't have much time to think and hurriedly took the three things out of the treasury. After that, he rushed to the Experience Hall and obtained three million merit points. He rushed to the Battle Academy and took back the golden martial competition token that he deserved. He also went to the Inheritance Pavilion and exchanged it for a low-grade mystic level movement technique "Alkaid Technique".

Zhan Chen returned with a full load and subconsciously returned to his own courtyard. He pressed the identity jade pendant on the door but there was no response. He was stunned for a moment.

Then, he seemed to come to a realization. He slapped his head and said to himself, "Zhan Chen, Zhan Chen, look at your brain. You are now an elite disciple. You should live in Ling Jue Peak!"

Thinking of Ling Jue Peak, his eyes flashed with a trace of a complicated expression. Li Jianchen, Wang Yin and Su Yun were probably living there now.

"I also have to rush to Ling Jue Peak as soon as possible to see my new home. Li Jianchen, Wang Yin, I'm coming!" Zhan Chen clenched his fists and his heart was full of fighting spirit.

So, Zhan Chen set foot on the road to Ling Jue Peak. Ling Jue Peak was connected to the Flying Rainbow Peak where the inner disciples lived. Not long after, he arrived at the foot of the mountain but was stopped by two inner disciples.

But after seeing that it was Zhan Chen, they hurriedly saluted, "Greetings, Senior Brother Zhan Chen!"

Zhan Chen was stunned. He really couldn't accept this big gift. But thinking that he was already an elite disciple, he reluctantly accepted it and asked, "I'm here to find my new home. Do you know where it is?"

One of the disciples, who was cheerful, rushed to introduce himself, "Senior Brother Zhan Chen, I'm Li Zong. I'll take you there." He turned and walked up the mountain.

Zhan Chen hesitated for a moment, then followed behind him and went up the mountain. The Ling Jue Peak was full of Spiritual Qi, and it did not lose out to the Elder's mountain. Along the way, there were spirit flowers and spirit trees everywhere, and rare birds and beasts could be seen everywhere.

When he reached the top of the mountain, he saw many luxurious courtyards situated amidst the green hills and clear waters. The distance between them was very wide, and he could only see each other from afar. Zhan Chen was momentarily intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.

"Senior Brother, follow me." But he heard Li Zong turn his head and remind him.

Zhan Chen could only nod and follow Li Zong. They walked along a winding path for a long time. Suddenly, their eyes opened up. There was a villa in front of them, covering an area of nearly a thousand square meters.

In the courtyard, there were pavilions, rockery, small bridges, flowing water, and countless strange flowers and fruits. In between, there were a few women taking care of everything in the garden. Their cultivations were all lower than the twelfth level of the Martial Disciple realm. They were wearing the clothes of outer disciples.

Zhan Chen was stunned when he saw these people. Li Zong saw his puzzled look and explained with a smile, "Senior Brother, I'm afraid you still don't understand. After becoming an elite disciple, the treatment you enjoy is not ordinary. Not only will there be outer disciples coming to take care of everything in your garden every day, there are even many inner disciples who want to join your command."

After listening to his narration, Zhan Chen finally understood this. A trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes. These were not what he wanted. What he wanted was a quiet cultivation environment to quickly raise his cultivation.

"Senior Brother, let's go in and take a look."

"Okay."

Li Zong led Zhan Chen into the courtyard. Zhan Chen only wandered around the garden a few times before walking towards his own house. It was a unique two-story building. He opened the door with his identity jade plate and stepped inside. What entered his eyes was a spacious hall. In the middle of the hall was a tall throne and on both sides were armchairs. It could be used for many people to gather.

Next, when he came to the hall, he saw that the bathroom, kitchen, and guest rooms were all available.

Walking up the stairs to the second floor, there were a few more rooms, the most important of which was the cultivation room. When Zhan Chen stepped inside, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he actually found a spirit array on the wall of the cultivation room!

Spirit arrays were a profound technique. Zhan Chen did not have a deep understanding of it, but he knew that spirit arrays had an important function — to assist in cultivation. It was said that the reason why the Spiritual Qi in the Cultivation Tower was so rich was because each floor was equipped with a powerful spirit array.

The spirit array was composed of two major parts. One was the array pattern engraved on the array plate. It was said that they were carved by a highly skilled Talisman Master. The other part was the small eyes in the middle of the array pattern. These were called the eyes of the spirit array. They were used to place Primal Stones and were the energy supply system of the spirit array.

The spirit array in the cultivation room was called the Spiritual Gathering Array. It was used to increase the concentration of the Spiritual Qi in the cultivation room. Zhan Chen placed a few medium grade Primal Stones into the eyes of the spirit array. A burst of light flashed from the spirit array and it began to slowly circulate, releasing an incomparably pure Spiritual Qi. Not long after, the concentration of the Spiritual Qi in the room began to rise. In the end, it actually became thicker by more than five layers.

Witnessing all of this, Zhan Chen was ecstatic. The effect was comparable to the middle floor of the Cultivation Tower. As long as he had enough Primal Stones, he could soak in such a high concentration of Spiritual Qi and continue to cultivate.

He suppressed the strong desire to cultivate in his heart and went downstairs. He persuaded everyone to leave and closed the door. Then, he went back upstairs and began to close his eyes and immerse himself in cultivation …

Early the next morning, Zhan Chen exited his cultivation state and stood up. He felt refreshed. He gently tidied up his clothes and went down the Absolute Ascension Peak. He went straight to the Flying Cloud Peak. His heart was still thinking about the Golden Dragon Dan!

In the Flying Cloud Palace, Zhao He saw Zhan Chen and ran over. He put his hands on his shoulders and looked him up and down. Then, he nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "En, not bad. You've recovered."

Zhan Chen cupped his hands in obeisance and loudly said, "Disciple pays his respects to Master! Thank you for your concern! "

"Hehe, Zhan Chen, I'm afraid you're not here to pay your respects to me. You're here for the Golden Dragon Dan."

Zhan Chen grinned and embarrassedly said, "My thoughts have been seen through by Master."

"Where's the Golden Dragon Grass?"

Zhan Chen quickly took out the jade box containing the Golden Dragon Grass from his Cosmos Sack and gave it to Zhao He.

Zhao He took the jade box and opened it. He nodded and said, "Yes, it's the Golden Dragon Grass. Follow me to the back."

The two arrived at the back of the alchemy room. This time, Zhao He went directly to the center of the room where the largest alchemy furnace was.

He patted his Qiankun Bag, and more than twenty jade boxes flew out, neatly arranged together with the Golden Dragon Grass on the side.

Then, Zhao He put his hand on the alchemy furnace and poured his True Qi into it. The fire in the furnace burned vigorously and the temperature of the entire alchemy room rose sharply.

Zhan Chen saw this and was secretly shocked, "To control a fourth grade alchemy furnace, the amount of True Qi consumed is not just a little bit. I'm afraid that if I were to do it, I wouldn't even be able to hold on for half an hour."

At this time, Zhao He moved again. He freed one of his hands and with a light brush, the jade box's lids opened one by one. Stalk after stalk of Spiritual Grass flew into the alchemy furnace and were calcined by the alchemy fire, condensing their essence. They were like pearls that sparkled and translucent in the furnace fire.

Gradually, all the spirit herbs turned into essence, and only the Golden Dragon Grass was left. At this time, Zhao He's expression suddenly became solemn. ‘

He took a deep breath and finally put the Golden Dragon Grass into the furnace to refine.

Zhan Chen could clearly see that Zhao He had reduced the amount of True Qi he was pouring into the furnace and was carefully roasting the Golden Dragon Grass. Gradually, a golden bead-like substance seeped out from the Golden Dragon Grass and merged with the Spiritual Grass' essence drop by drop.

This process lasted for a full hour. Zhan Chen noticed that beads of sweat had formed on Zhao He's forehead, but he still persisted with full concentration.

Gradually, the Golden Dragon Grass turned into essence and merged with the original medicinal liquid. At this moment, his finger quickly wrote in the air. Lines of True Qi runes actually gathered into a chapter that did not dissipate for a long time.

After he finished writing the runes, he pointed his finger at the alchemy furnace and the chapter flew into the alchemy furnace. Immediately, the Spiritual Grass' essence quickly condensed and finally condensed into a Golden Core.

It was only then that Zhao He let out a sigh of relief. He reduced the amount of zhenqi he injected to the minimum and slowly nurtured the pill that he had just refined. After another hour, he finally put it back into the jade bottle. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and handed it to Zhan Chen with a smile. "Alright, take it."

"Thank you, Master!" Zhan Chen was so grateful that he knelt on the ground.

"Alright, why are you still being so polite with me? Take it! "

Zhan Chen took the jade bottle and opened it. A Golden Core was lying inside the bottle, and there were rays of golden light flowing around it like a golden dragon. He couldn't help but praise in his heart, "What a good pill!"

Zhao He smiled and said, "How is it? Take it now, I'll protect you! "

A hint of joy flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes and he nodded. He immediately sat on the praying mat and put the Golden Dragon Pill into his mouth to refine it.

A fourth grade pill was really extraordinary. The medicinal power was strong and lasting, constantly rushing through his meridians. Zhan Chen tried his best to lock the medicinal power in his body and slowly absorb it …
