Chapter 532

Seeing him calm down the Five Elements agitation from his reckless use of Geng Metal Sword Qi so quickly, Qian Chen also looked at him with new eyes. His thoughts turned, and he suddenly said: "That Madame Lady Huayang dances very high. I will give you a test: kill that Madame Lady Huayang. If you agree, I will have other benefits for you!"

Lan Jiu's face turned bitter when he heard this: "Madame Lady Huayang not only has overwhelming power in the sect, but she is also a True Person at the Core Formation realm, and her husband is a Deputy Sect Master with hopes of reaching Soul Transformation. This junior only obtained the teacher's favor and succeeded in Foundation Establishment with external objects; how could I possibly move against her!"

"I naturally don't expect you to be in a hurry!"

"I'll give you twenty years. If you still can't kill her within twenty years after receiving my teachings, it will be a waste of this root and bone, and I might as well refine you into a flying sword!"

Seeing him smiling, Lan Jiu couldn't tell if this was a joke for a moment, and only said in a low voice: "What is the benefit the teacher mentioned? Is it a supernatural power that will allow me to kill Madame Lady Huayang?"

Qian Chen casually picked up the fur on the back of the Flower Fox Marten beside him and threw it into his arms: "There! This is it!"

Lan Jiu had just seen the majesty of the Flower Fox Marten swallowing a Core Formation True Person in one bite, and couldn't help but straighten his hands to catch this purple marten. The marten turned its head and glared at Qian Chen.

The Gold and Silver Boys at Qian Chen's feet and the Ear-Dao God sitting on his shoulder immediately retaliated, glaring back, and the Flower Fox Marten shrank its body and hid behind Lan Jiu.

Lan Jiu held the Flower Fox Marten, which was not even the size of his palm, in his arms and showed a puzzled expression: "Teacher, why do I feel that although the Geng Metal Sword Qi just now was powerful, it still falls short of this little marten's supernatural power?"

Qian Chen shook his head slightly, just when Lan Jiu thought it was because his Five Elements were unstable and he hadn't exerted the power of the supernatural power.

"What are you comparing yourself to it for!"

Lan Jiu heard this, and just as a trace of joy appeared, he heard Qian Chen say: "What are you thinking? You seek stability, and the Five Elements supernatural powers you cultivate each have their own wonderful uses, which can help you stabilize your foundation, but when it comes to fighting and killing, how can they compare to it?"

"Do you know what the two supernatural powers refined by this marten, which I refined as a living treasure, are?"

"The Universe in the Belly can refine all things, and Size as Desired can manifest the Dharma Heaven and Earth. These two supernatural powers can be called wonderful even among great supernatural powers..."

"Furthermore, this beast originally had a trace of ancient bloodline and was refined by me with two types of seals, so its foundation is much stronger than yours! As long as it constantly swallows cultivators, or even refines heavenly materials, earthly treasures, spiritual objects, and demon beasts, it can feed back into itself, and its cultivation speed will naturally be extremely fast!"

"I let it out just now to eat those few Core Formation cultivators, and now it has steadily stepped into the Great Demon realm of Penetrating the Law. If it eats a few more, it wouldn't be strange if it refined a demon pill. What do you have to compare with it?"

Lan Jiu looked dull, raised the Flower Fox Marten in his hand and said: "Teacher, this broken marten is just something you used to practice, why does it sound more profound than this immortal bone of mine?"

The Flower Fox Marten in his hand suddenly swelled to the size of a white elephant upon hearing this, turned its head to bite him, held half of his body in its mouth, and swung his body wildly from side to side.

Lan Jiu struggled desperately in the Flower Fox Marten's mouth, using the Mountain-Hidden Jade Soul he was not yet familiar with to turn himself into jade, making a creaking sound as he was bitten by the Flower Fox Marten.

Qian Chen acted as if he didn't see it, secretly thinking: "Aren't you also something I used to practice? Who is more noble than whom?"

But he said: "Who told you not to choose that Yin and Yang creation, and insisted on choosing this Five Elements spiritual root for the sake of stability. Now that the foundation is stable! But if you want to cultivate the prototype of a great supernatural power, you must concentrate on these five supernatural powers, build a very solid foundation, and then use the opportunity of Core Formation to have a possibility."

"Your current supernatural power is just a seed. Geng Metal Sword Qi requires you to breathe in sword qi, absorb several gold and iron veins, and carefully sharpen it before its power will become stronger and stronger. Once cultivated to minor success, it will be a life-bound sword embryo."

"The Longevity Spiritual Body is the foundation of the Green Wood Long Spring Art, which requires absorbing the creation qi of plants and trees. I don't know how much hard work it will take to succeed."

"That bit of Samadhi Taiyin Zhenhuo in your heart is even more of a fire seed. To truly refine the Samadhi Fire that can refine demons and protect the body, you need to constantly fuse fire seeds and increase its firepower."

"The same applies to Mountain-Hidden Jade Soul and Flying Flowing Empty Spring, except one needs to absorb the essence of beautiful jade and earth qi to cultivate, and the other needs to refine the essence of ten thousand waters, refining those two flying springs into an essence sea. Now these two flying springs are just formed by me dripping a drop of Heavenly One True Water each. If you want to truly manifest their power, you need to cultivate at least dozens of drops."

"One drop of Heavenly One True Water, once opened, is a lake. You can refine it slowly!"

Lan Jiu struggled out of the Flower Fox Marten's mouth and staggered: "Then why doesn't this evil beast need such hard work?"

The Flower Fox Marten glared at Lan Jiu upon hearing this, waved its front paws and made a snarling sound. It flicked Lan Jiu back and forth as if playing with a ball, but Lan Jiu had no power to resist.

Qian Chen said faintly from the side: "You cultivate the Five Elements Dao, while it cultivates the Ancient Demon Beast Dao. The Five Elements Great Dao is broad and profound, and was the foundation of the Divine Way's rule over the world in ancient times. Naturally, one must comprehend the moistening and downward nature of water, the flaming and upward nature of fire, the bending and straightening nature of wood, the following and changing nature of metal, and the sowing and reaping nature of earth, comprehending the principles of the ancient Divine Emperors and Divine Sovereigns mastering the Five Elements to govern the world. And ancient demon beasts naturally fight constantly, swallow essence and blood, and kill endlessly to prove the Dao."

"One is the principle of the ancient Divine Emperors governing the world, how can it not be broad and profound? The other is the principle of ancient demon beasts surviving, naturally simple, easy to learn, rough and tyrannical."

Qian Chen paused here and continued: "Secondly, it is naturally the accumulation required by this Flower Fox Marten, which I helped it complete by the way!"

"That human skin bag is a ghost weapon that has been passed down in the Ghost-Gui Gui Ku Zong for a long time. Not only was it originally refined from the skin bag of a remnant soul of a Core Formation demonic cultivator, but it has also swallowed the essence of countless true disciples of the Ghost-Gui Gui Ku Zong throughout the ages. Its magic seals inherited the accumulation of those magic treasures, so naturally, it doesn't need to be painstakingly sharpened."

"So that's how it is..." Lan Jiu was suddenly encouraged.

"But even if you have accumulated enough foundation, I'm afraid you are still no match for this beast!" Qian Chen sighed faintly.

Lan Jiu, who struggled to get up, was stunned: "Why?"

"Because cultivators are good at using objects. When fighting others, ninety percent of their strength is in the magic treasures in their hands. It's rare to see a fool who competes with their own magic treasures!"

Qian Chen sneered: "I gave it to you as an aid, but you are calculating! If a person fights with their own dog with bare hands, even if they win, what glory is there?"

Lan Jiu was dumbfounded...

Qian Chen took out the golden pill rations he had refined for the Gold and Silver Boys, thought for a moment, and then flicked out six golden pills. The six golden lights turned into a colorful rainbow, crossing a distance of dozens of feet like sword qi, and circled around Lan Jiu.

Spitting out sword light nearly a foot long, it looked unparalleled in power and varied in changes. Following Qian Chen's finger, these six golden pills retracted their sword qi and fell into Lan Jiu's hands.

The Gold and Silver Boys beside him immediately glared at Lan Jiu, but Qian Chen said indifferently with his hands behind his back: "Your flying shuttle seal is broken, and it's not easy to control!"

"Speaking of which, the most suitable magic treasure for you is the five magic treasures refined from your five viscera after you refine the Five Elements essence. The life-bound flying sword transformed from Geng Metal Sword Qi is agile and follows your heart, and is also sharp and fierce, unstoppable, and is a top-tier flying sword in the world. The gestation of other magic treasures depends on opportunity and is determined by your thoughts."

"Before that, take these six golden pills to play with! Practice your swordsmanship, so you don't lose face for me by having no magic treasures in your hands."

Lan Jiu roughly refined the six golden pills with his spiritual sense and felt that this magic treasure seemed to have no seals, but its spirituality was astonishing. Just a thought made it interact with his own qi, and then it was used by his heart, nothing could be more satisfactory.

Because this object was not a magic treasure at all, but an external pill refined by Qian Chen from the gold and iron in the fire vein, for the Gold and Silver Boys to chew like beans.

He opened his hands, and the six sword pills flew like meteors, circling in mid-air. In the huge pill room, spiritual light flickered uncertainly for a time, extremely agile. Finally, he opened his hands and beckoned, and they turned into six meteors circling around his body.

Lan Jiu had never seen such a wonderful magic treasure, and for a time, it was as if he had obtained a fun toy, and he kept manipulating it there.

It wasn't until Qian Chen shouted to stop that he finally stopped.

Qian Chen lectured: "This is not a good thing. If you meet a cultivator with slightly better cultivation, they can take it away with a spell! If you really want to step onto the path of cultivation, you have to see if you have that opportunity and perseverance yourself..."

"Alright! Everything is done, you should go! In the future, after you kill Madame Lady Huayang, if you still want to take back that Ganli Seven-Treasure Flame Light Pill, use the Samadhi Taiyin Zhenhuo I planted for you to sense it, and there should be an opportunity!"

Lan Jiu hurriedly bowed and took his leave of Qian Chen...

Outside, because several Core Formation True Persons were eaten, there was another commotion for a while, but no one came to disturb Qian Chen. Finally, it should have been assumed that some overseas demon beast had broken in and killed the people of the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect. After the noise for half a day, it finally gradually subsided.

Qian Chen stayed in seclusion like this for more than ten days, only using the spiritual butterfly as an incarnation, flying out of the territory of the Luo Zhen Sect, and drifting around on the sea.

Sometimes flying against the storm, a butterfly dancing in the rain, using its weak body to meet the violence of natural phenomena, it was magnificent; sometimes even diving under the sea surface to see all kinds of strange and peculiar demon beasts overseas; sometimes just flying quietly, looking out at the endless sea surface.

Body in the prison of the forbidden room, heart wandering in the thousands of natural phenomena.

For a time, there was a feeling of forgetting both things and self!

Once, the butterfly flew for three days before remembering the identity of Qian Chen!

Just when Qian Chen was self-satisfied for a time and gradually forgot the infighting and competition around him, a shadow squirmed in the void in front of his true body.

The shadow condensed into shape, and it was Feng Yangzi, with a long beard reaching his chest and a crane-like appearance.

Qian Chen slowly opened his eyes and smiled: "Isn't that True Person Yun He over there already released your true body, Fellow Daoist? How come Fellow Daoist Feng Yang comes to see me with a split spirit? Being so sneaky!"

Feng Yangzi smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist and I have long had a tacit understanding, why pretend not to know?"

He sighed and looked up: "This time I misjudged Yun He, and that's why I miscalculated. I didn't expect this person to hide so deeply. I deliberately didn't contact Fellow Daoist these past few days, but I was secretly probing his background..."
