Chapter 222: Peak of Precious Body
Crescent Island.
Chu Chen returned to the cave with information about Pear Blossom Island and nearby islands in his hand.
During this retreat, he did not relax his surveillance of the outside world and went out from time to time to collect information.
The demise of the Li family was a big deal for the forces near Pear Blossom Island.
He had to make sure that no cultivators or forces noticed Crescent Island.
"The Fan family branch returned to Pear Blossom Island and regained control of Pear Blossom Island. These immortal families are as cunning as foxes. I don't know how many tricks they left to continue the family's inheritance."
Chu Chen flipped through the information in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
When the Li family occupied Pear Blossom Island, they slaughtered all the people of the Fan family on the island.
Not long after the Li family was destroyed, the Fan family regained control of Pear Blossom Island.
The reason why the immortal family can stand for thousands of years is that they naturally understand the principle of a cunning rabbit having three nests.
For example, the Fan family has branches on other islands, and even bloodlines are passed down in the mortal world.
If the main family is destroyed, as long as the branch continues to exist, it may not be impossible to become the main family and revive the family one day.
To some extent, this is also a kind of immortality.
Family-style immortality.
The Li family would have done the same thing, letting their clansmen establish branches on various islands in the Canglan Sea.
But the Li family had just arrived in the Canglan Sea not long ago, and before they had completed their arrangements, they were wiped out by Chu Chen, leaving only a few bloodlines in Qingzhou.
Of course, these bloodlines were essentially abandoned by the Li family and could not be considered as members of the Li family. Chu Chen confirmed this by using the dream-marrying magic to enter the dream of the Li family cultivator.
He did not need to spend time to erase these Li family bloodlines.
"The Fan family regained control of Pear Blossom Island, which means that the impact of the Li family's demise has been completely eliminated, and no one has noticed the existence of Crescent Moon Island."
Chu Chen was relieved.
At this time, a year had passed since the demise of the Li family, and no cultivator had come to Crescent Moon Island to explore, let alone to cause trouble for him.
This was not surprising. The Li family came to escape on the surface, and there was no foundation-building cultivator in charge, and they had not joined the Hundred Islands Alliance, the Red Moon King Family, the Lonely Peak Alliance and other forces.
The destruction of the Li family would at most attract the attention of surrounding forces, but would not attract the attention of forces such as the Hundred Islands Alliance.
In addition, he had dealt with the beginning and the end very cleanly, so no one noticed Crescent Island.
"No one will disturb you, just retreat in peace."
Chu Chen calmed down and practiced the Soul-Slaying Thorn.
Generally speaking, the higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the faster he can practice magic.
He had broken through the late stage of foundation building, and practiced the Wind and Thunder Body Protection Technique and the Soul-Slaying Thorn quite smoothly.
Compared with the Wind and Thunder Body Protection Technique, he mastered the Soul-Slaying Thorn faster.
Chu Chen's mind was strong, far beyond the cultivators of the same realm, so practicing soul spells such as the Soul-Slaying Thorn was twice as effective with half the effort.
He spent nearly a year practicing the Wind and Thunder Body Protection Technique to a small success, and it took less than a month to get started with the Soul-Slaying Thorn, and now he is moving towards the small success stage.
Another three months later, the Soul-Slaying Thorn broke through the small success stage.
"It will take at least ten years to practice the Wind and Thunder Body Protection Technique and the Soul-Slaying Thorn to the Great Success Stage."
The difficulty of practicing foundation-building spells such as the Wind and Thunder Body Protection Technique increases exponentially as you advance.
However, practicing to the Small Success Stage can already bring out most of the power of the Wind and Thunder Body Protection Technique and the Soul-Slaying Thorn, and you can slowly practice them to the Great Success Stage in the future.
Chu Chen plans to focus more on the method of refining the Zeng Yuan Pill, and refine the Zeng Yuan Pill first.
…
Time flies, and three years pass in a flash.
"Zeng Yuan Pill, done!"
In the alchemy room, Chu Chen cast a spell to extinguish the spiritual fire under the Five Qi Pill Furnace.
He cast another spell.
Clang!
The lid of the Five Qi Pill Furnace opened, and six pills with a strong medicinal fragrance flew out and fell into the porcelain bottle in Chu Chen's hand.
"The pill is of top quality, not bad."
Chu Chen looked at the Zeng Yuan Pill in the porcelain bottle and smiled.
Like the Stone Ginseng Pill, he tried to refine the Zengyuan Pill in the outside world only after he raised the success rate of the Zengyuan Pill to more than 80% in the dream world.
"With the Zengyuan Pill, the practice of Qianyuan Gong finally doesn't have to be like a turtle crawling."
Since breaking through the late stage of foundation building, the practice of Qianyuan Gong has almost stagnated.
One is that the spiritual energy in the cave can only barely maintain his cultivation; the second is that there is no pill to assist in practice, which is far inferior to the time when there is pill to assist in practice.
With the help of Zengyuan Pill, Chu Chen can shorten the time to break through the peak of foundation building.
He took out the tortoise shell and deduced the good and bad luck.
"Middle hexagram, a hundred days of peace and stability."
Swallowed the Zengyuan Pill and continued to practice Qianyuan Gong.
However.
The breakthrough of Qianyuan Gong is far away, but the Soul-stealing Sutra is close to a breakthrough.
After decades of practice, the Soul-stealing Sutra has the fastest progress, and half a foot has stepped into the peak of the treasure body.
If he can break through, he will have the combat power comparable to the peak of foundation building.
By then, looking at the Qingzhou and Canglanhai cultivation worlds, he would be the most powerful existence except for the fake pill master.
Even if he was defeated by the fake pill master, he could still save his life.
The body of a body cultivator is strong, and his ability to recover after being injured is far superior to that of an ordinary cultivator. With his other means, he should be able to escape from the fake pill master.
…
One year later.
Chu Chen sat cross-legged, circulated the Soul Seizing Sutra, and countless spiritual energy poured into his body.
His half-naked upper body had bulging blood vessels, as if countless small snakes were swimming and jumping under his skin.
The blood was rolling, making a huge sound of flow, like a rushing river, the sound was unprecedentedly loud and deafening.
The Soul-stealing Sutra is aimed at refining the body and golden elixir. It is not as simple as ordinary body-refining exercises, and is clearly divided into five levels, corresponding to the early stage of foundation building to the early stage of golden elixir.
Entry, ice muscle, jade bone, spiritual blood, Tao body.
It is somewhat similar to the secular martial arts, from the outside to the inside, the body is transformed step by step.
Finally, the Tao body is forged!
Let’s not talk about the entry for now. If you practice ice muscle, you will step into the realm of small success of the treasure body; if you condense jade bones, you will achieve great success of the treasure body; if you complete the blood exchange and replace the whole body blood with spiritual blood, you will reach the peak of the treasure body.
Having the experience of practicing blood exchange in secular martial arts, Chu Chen practiced the fourth level of the Soul-stealing Sutra very smoothly.
This is also because of the Soul-stealing Body-forging Sutra. His current physique is very compatible with the Soul-stealing Sutra. Practicing the Soul-stealing Sutra is much easier than practicing Qianyuan Gong and Taiyi Yangshenshu.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, Chu Chen's breath shook, as if breaking through a bottleneck, and suddenly soared.
The sound of blood flowing became louder and louder, like thunder.
Gradually, Chu Chen's breath became stable and slowly quieted down.
"Spiritual blood is formed, treasure body peak!"
Chu Chen opened his eyes, and a light flashed in his eyes, instantly illuminating the entire quiet room.
The peak of treasure body corresponds to the peak of foundation building. This level of cultivation is enough to dominate Qingzhou and Canglanhai.
As long as he wants, he can always establish a foundation building force second only to Yunshui Sect and Yinshi Sect, and even unify Canglanhai without any problem.
Unifying Canglanhai will not benefit Chu Chen much, but will hinder his own practice.
Once the power is established, it will inevitably distract from external affairs, which is not a wise move.
Besides, he can't be so high-profile.
"The peak of treasure body is just the first step. Next, as long as Qianyuan Gong and Taiyi Yangshenshu are practiced to the peak of foundation building, you can try to break through the false pill realm, and then break through the golden pill realm."
Chu Chen closed his eyes again to stabilize the realm he had just broken through.
