Chapter 46: Meeting (1)

Primordial Holy Land, Outer Sect area.

A relatively secluded small courtyard sat on the gentle slope of a lush green mountain.

Although the Spiritual Qi here wasn’t as dense as in the core area, it was quiet and peaceful; this was the new residence Chen Chuan had applied for after returning from Tianfeng City.

The courtyard gate was tightly closed, and the interior was simply furnished, with only an old tree in the center standing tall like a canopy, casting dappled shadows.

Inside the house, Chen Chuan was planning his future Cultivation improvement plan.

"Buying medicinal herbs, refining Medicinal Pills, selling them to the Holy Land Disciples, and repeating this cycle to earn gold tickets."

Chen Chuan planned his future path in his mind, his eyes bright.

An Alchemist was one of the most sought-after professions no matter where they were.

With his invincible Alchemy talent, he was confident in quickly accumulating wealth.

He felt the surging spiritual power within his body; he was now at the Peak of the Ninth Level of the Furnace Realm.

If he Cultivated step by step, it would take some time to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm, but he had a faster way: paying to win.

"System, how many gold tickets are needed to upgrade to the Mountain Sea Realm?"

[Ding! Detected that the host is at the Peak of the Ninth Level of the Furnace Realm. To break through to the First Level of the Mountain Sea Realm, 5 million gold tickets are required.]

Five million!

The corners of Chen Chuan’s mouth twitched slightly; even though he had expected it, this number still made him feel pressure.

The later the stage of Cultivation, the more massive the resources required.

Fortunately, he was not unprepared.

With a thought, a Medicinal Pill the size of a dragon’s eye with a misty aura lingering on its surface appeared in his palm; it was the Barrier Breaking Pill he had obtained earlier.

"I hope the Breakthrough goes smoothly."

Chen Chuan swallowed the pill without hesitation.

The pill melted upon entering his mouth, and a pure, gentle, yet powerfully enduring medicinal force instantly flooded into his four limbs and hundred bones, washing through his Meridians and cleansing his spiritual power.

The barrier between the Furnace Realm and the Mountain Sea Realm began to vibrate violently under the impact of this power, and cracks appeared.

Chen Chuan held his breath and focused, operating his Cultivation Technique with all his might, guiding the medicinal power to strike the Bottleneck.

After an unknown amount of time, a soft sound like shattering porcelain came from within his body.

An aura far more vast and powerful than before erupted from his body, causing the air in the room to vibrate.

First Level of the Mountain Sea Realm!

He successfully broke through!

Spiritual power surged like a tide, his Sea of Consciousness expanded further, and his perception became more acute.

At this moment, he felt he could crush his former self with a single punch.

"Heh, Cultivating with an invincible Cultivation talent actually isn’t slow."

Chen Chuan was very satisfied.

He also knew one thing: now that he was in the Mountain Sea Realm, refining Grade Five Medicinal Pills should be no problem, and he could even try Grade Six ones.

To do a good job, one must first sharpen one’s tools.

Besides the Pill Formula and skill, fire is also key to Alchemy.

Ordinary firewood and mundane flames simply cannot refine high-grade Medicinal Pills; Cultivators mostly use their own spiritual power to create fire or seek out Spiritual Fires nurtured by heaven and earth.

Chen Chuan remembered many novels he had read in his past life, where the protagonists all possessed powerful heavenly and earthly Spiritual Fires, making them invincible in Alchemy and against enemies.

He immediately communicated with the System, opened the mall interface, and filtered for Spiritual Fire categories.

In an instant, a dazzling array of light screens appeared before his eyes, with various icons of Spiritual Fires of different forms and attributes flashing.

Prices were marked below, ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions of gold tickets, making Chen Chuan’s eyes wander and secretly click his tongue.

His gaze swept carefully and finally stopped on a pure white, flawless fire icon that seemed to be condensed from the purest light-flame.

[Pure Karma Sacred Fire]: Price: 10 million gold tickets.

This Spiritual Fire is a holy fire born from the Void Pure Land, purifying all poisons and cleansing all filth in the world.

The Purification effect increases with the controller’s cultivation level.

"Pure Karma Sacred Fire."

Chen Chuan was moved.

This fire could not only be used for Alchemy, with excellent effects in purifying medicinal herbs and removing pill toxins, but it also possessed powerful Purification capabilities against enemies, making it extremely practical.

Although 10 million gold tickets was expensive, it was worth the price.

At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.

If Spiritual Fires could be fused, they would become a devastating ultimate move.

"System, is there a skill that helps me fuse Spiritual Fires and form a powerful attack method?"

[Ding! Matching skill retrieved: Flame Art]

[Price: 1 million gold tickets.]

Skill Introduction:

A special fire control technique that can guide and fuse Spiritual Fires of different attributes into a fire lotus form.

The power of the fire lotus depends on the number of fused Spiritual Fires and the host’s spiritual power input.

The more Spiritual Fires fused and the higher their quality, the more terrifying the power.

There really is one!

A sharp light flashed in Chen Chuan’s eyes.

10 million for the Pure Karma Sacred Fire and 1 million for the Flame Art; that’s 11 million gold tickets.

"So poor!"

Chen Chuan couldn’t help but sigh, feeling his newly bulging wallet instantly deflate.

The path to becoming stronger is indeed a path of paying to win, with a long way to go.

The primary task now is still to earn money.

Just as he was concentrating on planning how to raise funds as quickly as possible to buy Spiritual Fire and medicinal herbs, light footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.

He frowned slightly and used the Eye of Wisdom to look outside.

Two women were standing outside the simple wooden gate of the courtyard.

One was dressed in a pale yellow dress with a cute face, looking at the courtyard gate with an uneasy expression.

When Chen Chuan’s gaze fell on the other person, it was a familiar figure.

The woman was dressed in a moon-white waist-cinching long dress, with a slender figure, skin as white as snow, eyebrows like distant mountains, and eyes like autumn waters.

Her clear and peerless face seemed to gather the essence of heaven and earth, possessing a cold temperament that didn’t belong to the mortal world, like a Moon Palace Fairy who had accidentally entered the mortal realm.

It was Ji Siyu.

And the one beside her was naturally her younger sister, Ji Qingyu.

"Why are they here? And they became Primordial Holy Land Disciples?"

A trace of genuine surprise crossed Chen Chuan’s face.

When he left Black Rock City, Ji Siyu was still unable to Cultivate.

He also discovered that Ji Siyu had actually awakened a Divine Grade Spiritual Root.

Moreover, her cultivation had actually reached the First Level of the Ming Quan Realm within a month.
