Chapter 277: Elder Xinran Ascends the Mountain, Shocked

Time slipped by silently for ten days.

Ten days, just a blink of an eye; Chen Chuyang has been studying divine techniques, more precisely, studying the Mixed Origin Body. These days, the Mixed Origin Bell finished devouring the Yin Ghost Banner, all the materials were digested, and with Chen Chuyang's Mixed Origin True Fire assisting, the devouring speed increased; advancing the Mixed Origin Bell to a top‑grade Spiritual Artifact now requires many more materials.

The level also rises accordingly; in the future, raising it won't be that easy.

Chen Chuyang also corrected many aspects of the Mixed Origin Body, such as the range of its aura and the speed of transformation, which have a limit; by raising that limit, he expands the Mixed Origin Body's ceiling and improves Chen Chuyang's safety.

The so‑called "invulnerability to all methods" actually stays within a limit, and that limit is raised infinitely. As Chen Chuyang's cultivation advances, the limit rises as well; at the very least, at the same level his Mixed Origin Body can defend against any technique, making him unbeatable among peers.

And he, not even knowing his own strength, a peer‑level enemy?

Sorry, up to now I haven't met anyone; he always lets the strong defeat the weak, crushing with the first strike. He never wastes words with you, nor does he spar with you. If he can't win or capture, he runs away, spends a few to ten years before coming out to trouble you. With his talent, a few years are enough to crush any enemy.

This is Chen Chuyang's way of combat, the true way of a warrior.

Hoo hoo hoo, this seclusion yielded great gains; my divine techniques have improved, all my various arts have advanced a lot, my insight into the Dao has increased considerably, and my strength has at least doubled.

The Golden Core's volume has also multiplied several times; at this rate, the Advancement still has a long way to go.

At least, at this stage the Golden Core cannot be filled, as if it has no end, no… limit either.

This is terrifying.

The spiritual energy Chen Chuyang needs is an astronomical figure, incomparable to before.

Daily consumption and daily cultivation also require a lot of spiritual energy.

Longshe Shan's spiritual energy can only meet his current cultivation; the spiritual energy of Longshe Shan needs to be increased.

He stepped out of the room.

Chen Chuyang subconsciously glanced at Longshe Shan; everything seemed normal. The people who entered the Alchemy Furnace and walked through it all had their cultivation elevated, overall stable, without any instability. Generally, after a breakthrough, instability appears and requires a period of recuperation.

Since that situation didn't occur, brother‑in‑law Shang Yue's advancement was rapid; after the Qi seed, his body grew ever stronger. Following the path of body‑refining, his physique became many times stronger than before. A circuit inside the Alchemy Furnace healed impurities and injuries within his body, and Chen Chuyang prepared some Item for him to soak in.

The spiritual medicine used is very precious; just after emerging from seclusion, he was given the Item and sent in to soak.

Shang Yue was unwilling, but he still didn't dare to disobey.

"Shang Yue, remember this, write it down; when you have money later, remember to repay it."

Upon hearing that, Shang Yue wilted completely.

"Second brother‑in‑law, we're family; does family also charge money?"

"Even blood brothers charge; how about you?" Chen Chuyang said lightly, "Don't think about dodging payment; whatever you spent here must be reimbursed."

"I am your brother‑in‑law."

Chen Chuyang mercilessly said, "Precisely because you are my brother‑in‑law, I allow you to buy on credit; others don't get this privilege. So, do you intend to dodge payment?"

He rubbed his hands, stared coldly; if he dared to say anything, Shang Yue guaranteed that this second brother‑in‑law would definitely act.

If that happens, getting beaten and still having to pay back would be bad.

"No, no, how could that be, second brother‑in‑law? I'm very reputable; the money I owe you, I guarantee to repay, rest assured."

"Then can I work for you?"

"This account should be reduced a little for me; I can't work without receiving money, right?"

"No. One debt at a time. The wages you earn from work offset the money you spend on meals. The Dragon Tooth Rice you eat is a treasure; each meal costs a lot. On this mountain, you eat the most, and I've already been generous to you."

"Don't overstep."

Others don't have such a big appetite.

Those who practice body‑refining have huge appetites; food and drink must be supplied.

The work he does still isn't enough to repay the meal costs.

This is a favor to him; don't be ungrateful.

"I…"

Shang Yue tried to speak, recalling that all his eating, drinking, and even relieving himself are on Longshe Shan, especially the food; the second brother‑in‑law never shortchanged him, giving him the finest, which he couldn't get in the Shang Clan.

As for work, that amount is really nothing.

This is also to train him; in a sense, he has gained a lot.

Thinking that, Shang Yue fell silent.

He soaked quietly.

Chen Chuyang was a bit surprised; he had expected Shang Yue to retort a couple of lines, but unexpectedly, he didn't retort, fell silent on the spot, leaving Chen Chuyang's prepared words with nowhere to go.

At the foot of the mountain, a Formation was triggered.

Chen Chuyang saw the old acquaintance Elder Xinran; she had come again.

A lone person arrived; Elder Xinran, who hadn't set foot on Longshe Shan for a long time, was again startled by the mountain's condition.

Spiritual energy brimmed; this spiritual vein seemed to come alive.

There were many people on the mountain; their auras were dense, all promising seedlings.

He walked up the mountain, glanced at the crowd, and his gaze landed on Shang Hongxue.

"Eh."

Elder Xinran let out a light "eh", moved to his side, reached out, and seized his hand.

Shang Hongxue tried to react, but it was already too late.

"Strange, this kind of constitution has actually awakened."

"Little girl, how did you do it?"

Cultivation, that aura was very dense.

Unlike others' auras, Elder Xinran saw a clue at a glance.

After checking, she found Shang Hongxue's body had awakened, and was greatly surprised.

Shang Hongxue forcefully shook off her hand, warning, "Don't act recklessly."

She stepped back a few paces, very wary of the woman before her.

Xinran Zhanglao noticed Chen Chuyang's gaze, and did not proceed with the next action.

Xinran Zhanglao glanced several more times at Shang Hongxue, then flew up the mountain.

Chen Chuyang waited on the mountain; as expected, Xinran Zhanglao still discovered Shang Hongxue's physical condition, her cultivation had reached a certain level, this situation could not be concealed from her, and Chen Chuyang also did not intend to conceal it from her.

At least, on Longshe Shan, it cannot be concealed.

"How did you do it? The awakening of the Cultivation body, as far as I know, no one has been able to do it."

Xinran Zhanglao added: "In this world, no physique can achieve awakening; this is the world's limitation, unless."

Xinran Zhanglao stared deeply at Chen Chuyang; in this, what means did Chen Chuyang use, how many things did he do, to reach this step.

If it gets out, it will surely cause a shock throughout the world.

Many sects will set their sights on him.
