Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Hao Nan De was a little panicked. He suspected that there was something wrong with Lu Chen's practice. Otherwise, why hadn't he woken up from his meditation after twenty days? Was it possible for Lu Chen to reach the fusion stage in the future?

For a disciple with eight-element first-level mixed spiritual roots, it is already a great fortune to reach the foundation-building stage.

Hao Nan De got up and went into the room. He saw that Lu Chen was still absorbing spiritual energy, with expressions of pain, confusion, and joy on his face.

Hao Nan De hesitated. He was worried that if he stopped it by force, it would ruin his disciple's chance, which would be disastrous.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Lu Chen, Hao Nan De decided to wait until Lu Chen finished his practice before asking any more questions. He gently closed the door and continued to lie on the recliner to protect Lu Chen.

At this time, Lu Chen had no idea what was happening in the outside world. He was immersed in a clear and empty world, constantly absorbing spiritual energy, which was then snatched away by the golden beads.

Fortunately, after an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen discovered that the speed at which the golden bead absorbed spiritual energy was slowing down, but the speed at which Lu Chen absorbed spiritual energy remained unchanged. In this way, a part of the spiritual energy was slowly stored in the Dantian.

"Have I finally fed you?" Lu Chen was as happy as if he had won a battle. He continued to absorb spiritual energy desperately until the golden bead no longer absorbed the spiritual energy in his dantian. Only then did Lu Chen breathe a sigh of relief.

Without the bandits' robbing, Lu Chen's dantian was soon filled with spiritual energy.

Lu Chen opened his eyes, stretched, and felt as comfortable as if he had just had a massage.

"You kid, you finally woke up!" Hao Nan De heard the noise coming from inside the house and ran over with a dark face and said.

"Master! I have good news for you. I have just reached the threshold of the Qi Refining Stage. There is a lot of spiritual energy stored in my Dantian now. Haha..." Lu Chen said happily.

"Just now? Do you know how long you have been in meditation?" Hao Nan De asked unhappily.

"What do you mean?" Lu Chen looked at Hao Nan De in confusion, not understanding what he said.

"What do you mean? Humph! I've been guarding the door for you for two whole months. Do you know that? Why are you asking what it means?"

Hao Nan De roared, spitting all over Lu Chen's face, and then hit Lu Chen's head hard, only then did he feel relieved.

Lu Chen kept rubbing his head. He was very touched to know that his master had been guarding him at the door for two months. "Master! Thank you!"

"Forget it! What is your current cultivation level?" Hao Nan De asked. Seeing Lu Chen scratching his head, he knew that he didn't know how to do it, so he told him a way to check himself.

Lu Chen's mind moved, and he mobilized the spiritual energy in his dantian and condensed it in the palm of his hand. In the middle of his breath, a beautiful spiritual flower emerged. It had five petals and exuded a lively breath. It was very beautiful.

"The fifth level of Qi Refining! That's incredible! Put it away quickly." Hao Nan De's expression became a little serious.

"What's wrong, Master? Is there any problem?" Lu Chen asked in confusion as he absorbed the spiritual energy into his body again.

"Eh? How come I can't tell your cultivation level? That's really strange, but I hope you can keep your cultivation process a secret, because..."

Next, Hao Nan De gave Lu Chen some knowledge about the first Qi gathering.

Lu Chen's situation was indeed a little unusual, but he himself didn't know what was going on. Hao Nan De couldn't explain it clearly for a while, so the matter was dropped.

He couldn't tell the secret of the golden bead to others. Lu Chen knew a little about the cruelty of the cultivation world, so he didn't tell Hao Nan De about the golden bead.

In the evening, Hao Nan De taught Lu Chen a lot of knowledge about cultivation and his own experience in cultivation.

The next day, Hao Nan De gave Lu Chen some spirit stones and an identity jade token, and said that he would leave the sect for a while. During this time, Lu Chen could go to the Kung Fu Hall with the jade token to choose a Kung Fu technique.

Seeing that his master did not forget to settle himself before going out, Lu Chen was moved again.

The identity jade token is like an ID card. Only after one’s cultivation reaches the Qi Refining Stage can one be considered to have truly stepped into the world of cultivation. These disciples must register with the sect and enjoy the sect’s welfare and treatment from then on. Of course, they also need to complete some sect tasks.

The main peak of Xuantian Sect is the administrative body of the entire sect, presided over by the sect leader Dongli Zhenren. After inquiring, it was found that the Kung Fu Hall is located on the main peak.

Lu Chen also heard a piece of news that in three months, the Canglan Secret Realm, which is held once every sixty years, will open.

At that time, the seven major sects will jointly open the secret realm, and all disciples below the foundation-building stage can sign up to participate. It is said that there are many opportunities in the secret realm. Disciples who come out alive will be rewarded not only with magic weapons, but also with foundation-building pills.

Therefore, the sect’s Qi Refining Stage disciples are now in seclusion, trying their best to improve their cultivation, hoping to get a place to go to the Cangnan Secret Realm. Among them are Liao Wei and Ye Rushuang.

Lu Chen was not interested in this news. With his cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining, he did not want to be cannon fodder. The best way to go was to develop slowly.

Lu Chen came to the Gongfa Hall to show his cultivation level. He asked his master to verify it. As long as he deliberately concealed his cultivation level, even Hao Nan De, who was in the Jindan stage, could not see any clues. It was magical.

After checking his identity information, Lu Chen smoothly arrived at the first floor of the Kung Fu Hall. The second floor required foundation building to enter, so Lu Chen could only choose the first floor.

There are several shelves on the first floor, each with a label, and each shelf contains a different number of jade slips.

For example, martial arts techniques, alchemy, weapon refining, essays, maps, etc.

Lu Chen picked up a map jade slip casually, injected his spiritual consciousness into the slip, and a lot of information appeared in his mind.

This is the distribution map of the seven major sects in Anlinzhou, namely Tianyan Sect, Xuantian Sect, Hehuan Sect, Lingshou Mountain, Yunu Palace, Shennong Sect, and Xuanqi Pavilion. It also includes a brief introduction to the seven major sects.

Lu Chen withdrew his spiritual consciousness and mastered the knowledge on the map. It felt magical and convenient.

If I use my spiritual consciousness to study, it would be easy to get into Tsinghua University or Peking University.

In order to learn more about the world of cultivation, Lu Chen deliberately read more than a dozen jade slips on history and essays.

He did acquire a lot of knowledge, but his spiritual awareness was also consumed greatly. At this time, Lu Chen felt dizzy, so he hurried to the practice area. After all, business was more important.

There were not many jade slips on the shelf of martial arts techniques. Lu Chen picked up a few and felt that they were all good. Finally, he chose "Xuan Tian Zheng Yi Jue". After all, this was the mainstream technique practiced by the disciples of Xuan Tian Sect.

After learning Xuan Tian Zheng Yi Jue, Lu Chen felt that his spiritual consciousness was a bit strained. After reading a few basic spell methods and a sword manual, Lu Chen felt dizzy and stopped reading.

Lu Chen felt that if he continued to forcefully use his spiritual sense, he would most likely become an idiot, and that would not be worth it.

In the following month, Lu Chen sorted out the various spells he learned from the Kung Fu Hall, and his cultivation level also improved to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

He discovered that the spirit stones left by his master had been used up, and he had no choice but to find a way to earn spirit stones himself. Although he could improve his cultivation by simply absorbing spiritual energy, Lu Chen found that it was too slow.

In order to improve his cultivation faster, Lu Chen ran to the Mission Hall to complete missions and earn spirit stones.

After comparing his own conditions, Lu Chen finally chose the task of picking Seven-Star Grass in the Poison Mist Swamp. The risk factor of this task was relatively low and the reward was relatively generous. Ten Seven-Star Grasses could be exchanged for one low-grade spirit stone.

Coincidentally, Gu Feng, Li Haoyang, and Tong Wei, who were all in the Qi Refining Stage, also teamed up to take on the same task as Lu Chen.

With the help of the mission elder, the few people got to know each other, and Lu Chen joined Gu Feng and his team.

Li Haoyang's cultivation level is the highest among the four, at the seventh level of Qi Refining Stage, while Gu Feng and Tong Wei are at the sixth level of Qi Refining Stage.

Moreover, Li Haoyang has the richest financial resources. Not only does he have a storage bag, he also took out a magic-level flying boat from the storage bag.

So in order to save time, everyone got on Li Haoyang's flying boat.

The poisonous fog swamp is located in the south of Beichen Continent, about 700 to 800 kilometers away from Xuantian Sect. It is shrouded in poisonous fog all year round. High-level monsters rarely appear here, but low-level spiritual herbs are very abundant.

Therefore, many disciples in the Qi Refining Stage would come here to collect low-level spiritual herbs in exchange for cultivation resources.

On the flying boat, Lu Chen was not familiar with the three people so he did not take the initiative to speak and just enjoyed the scenery along the way.

"Tong Wei! This is the Vajra Talisman I bought in the market. Take it for self-defense." Gu Feng handed Tong Wei a palm-sized talisman.

"No need, you should keep it for yourself. Senior Brother Haoyang will protect me, right, Senior Brother Li?" Tong Wei rejected Gu Feng and turned to flatter Li Haoyang.

"Haha! Junior Sister Tong, don't worry. If you encounter danger, I will be the first one to rush out to protect you." Li Haoyang said confidently.

“Tong Wei, just accept it. This Vajra Talisman can withstand a full-strength attack from a foundation-building cultivator.” Gu Feng looked at Tong Wei eagerly and handed her the talisman again.

Tong Wei knew that Gu Feng liked her, but Gu Feng's cultivation was not high and he didn't have any backing, so she never accepted Gu Feng's confession and instead pursued Li Haoyang.

But Gu Feng's words made Tong Wei's eyes light up. Being able to block a full-strength attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator was undoubtedly an extra life guarantee for a low-level cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage.

This time Tong Wei did not refuse. She took the talisman, carefully put it away, and said awkwardly, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome, as long as you're happy," Gu Feng is the type who is not good at speaking but absolutely reliable. Such people are often given the nice guy card.

Lu Chen secretly sighed for Gu Feng in his heart, it really is not easy to be a bootlicker anywhere.

Although Li Haoyang was a little unhappy, he didn't show it.

The spiritual-grade flying boat was very fast, and it only took two hours to reach the outskirts of the poisonous fog swamp.

The flying boat slowly landed.

Lu Chen and the other three jumped off the flying boat. Li Haoyang used his spiritual sense to control the flying boat and it turned into the size of a leaf and flew into Li Haoyang's storage bag. It was quite magical.

Lu Chen was planning to buy a storage bag somewhere.

"Senior Brother Lu! Is this your first time to go out on a mission?" Gu Feng took the initiative to greet Lu Chen. Lu Chen didn't say a word along the way, and it was not easy for others to talk to him.

"Well! This is indeed my first time. Our cultivation levels are the same, so you can just call me Lu Chen." Lu Chen felt that Gu Feng was a good person and was also interested in making friends with him.
