Chapter 6: Try to Cultivate Qi!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Su Chen returned to the herb garden of the Tempered Spirit Peak.

Sitting by the stone table, he was secretly shocked.

Fortunately, during this period of time, he had been constantly cultivating his body, making his body hard and tough. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to withstand Elder Liu’s palm strike.

After the shock passed, Su Chen looked at the seed of the tier 2 Meridian Unblocking Herb and the Green Jade Grass seeds. He revealed a smile.

“The harvest is not bad.”

After that, he came to the small house and planted the Meridian Unblocking Herb.

“Modifying the year of the Meridian Unblocking Herb to… 50 years!”

The Meridian Unblocking Herb needed 180 years to mature, and it would take me four days!

Su Chen looked at the Meridian Unblocking Herb with a face full of anticipation as it slowly sprouted. He thought about whether he could cultivate Qi after he consumed the fully matured Meridian Unblocking Herb?

Just thinking about it made him a little excited.

Su Chen thought that he could not afford to waste these four days, and proceeded to plant the Green Jade Grass.

The Green Jade Grass required 80 years to reach its optimum age. Its effect is to remove the impurities in the body and widen the meridians.

‘I’ll increase everything by 50 years. I’ll wait for them to reach their optimum age, then I can continue to grow stronger,’ Su Chen thought to himself.

Now, the Bone Forging Grass alone is no longer enough for Su Chen to quickly improve his cultivation. He needed other herbs to assist him.

After doing all this, Su Chen returned to his room to rest for the night.

At the same time…

Pure Yang sect, Alchemy Hall, Wang clan branch.

In the secret room, the Wang clan’s grand elder was announcing a piece of news that he had spent a lot of effort to obtain.

The sect had hidden a high-grade spirit vein in the abandoned Tempered Spirit Peak! Also, there was only one outer sect disciple guarding the mountain range.

After conquering the mountain range, the Wang clan’s bloodline would definitely rise.

After saying this explosive piece of news, those who had obtained the benefits of a high-grade spirit vein were all well aware of the importance of it.

Immediately, discussions broke out…

However, immediately after, the grand elder said, “The various clans in the sect are still not aware of this matter and we cannot reveal it. If our Wang clan were to obtain this place, even if others were to discover the spirit vein in the future, they would not be able to say anything. Old Fifth, among us, your cultivation method to conceal your aura is the most profound. Go and investigate to confirm if this matter is true or not.”

At this moment, Old Fifth walked out from the crowd. He was as skinny as a stick. In addition to his stooped body, he was no more than 1.5 meters tall. His hair was disheveled, and his snow-white long hair covered his face. One could not see his appearance clearly.

After hearing the words of the grand elder, two rays of sharp light shot out from his disheveled hair, immediately causing one to feel an icy cold chill.

“Yes, Grand Elder.” His words were powerless and seemed lifeless. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in front of everyone and floated towards the medicinal garden where Su Chen was.

Along the way, Old Fifth calmly avoided the detection of some elders and the sect’s patrolling disciples and arrived outside the medicinal garden.

He took out a feng shui compass-like magic tool from his pocket and carefully walked around the mountain range of the Tempered Spirit Peak. When he reached a mountain wall, the magic tool emitted a ray of green light.

After confirming that there was indeed a spirit vein here, his eyes flashed with excitement.

Then, he turned his head to look at the small wooden house where Su Chen was. His eyes were filled with killing intent. It was easy to kill him.

However, for a sect disciple to die in the sect for no apparent reason would definitely cause a disturbance. When he thought of the grand elder saying that he could not attract the attention of others, he suppressed the killing intent in his heart and floated away.

The next morning, after Su Chen got up, he immediately went to the back of the house to check on the herbs.

He saw that the Meridian Unblocking Herb was completely dark green, with three thin and long leaves growing randomly.

In the Hundred Herb Diagram, the Meridian Unblocking Herb that was at its optimal age would have nine leaves, and some of them would turn dark green in color.

Seeing that the Meridian Unblocking Herb had three leaves, it was still far from reaching its best year.

Su Chen stepped forward and said, “Modify the Meridian Unblocking Herb… 50 years!”

After modifying the Meridian Unblocking Herb, Su Chen simultaneously modified the Green Jade Grass to 30 years later. Then, he quietly waited for them to reach their optimum age.

Then, Su Chen did not waste any time.

He busied himself with a piece of Bone Forging Grass at the back of the house.

He brought a large amount of Bone Forging Grass back into the house and he threw them into the wooden barrel one by one.

Although the Bone Forging Grass was no longer of much help to Su Chen, it could still be useful in the end.

In the few days that he was waiting for the Meridian Unblocking Herb to mature, Su Chen used the Bone Forging Grass to fuse with water, and he soaked in large amounts every day.

According to Su Chen’s idea, since the quality of the herb could not keep up, then he could only rely on quantity! If he was exposed to large amounts of these Bone Forging Grass, it would also have an effect.

Just like that, in these few days, without realizing it, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Body Refinement realm, the fourth stage. He was about to break through to the next stage.

At this moment, the Meridian Unblocking Herb that Su Chen had modified had finally matured.

Of course, two days ago, the Green Jade Grass had already reached its optimal age. However, with the experience of the Bone Forging Grass, Su Chen decided to put aside the matured Green Jade Grass for now. He would wait for all the seeds to reach their optimal age before soaking them together.

Right now, he was still most concerned about the tier 2 Meridian Unblocking Herb. After all, this concerned whether or not he could cultivate Qi.

Su Chen looked at the pulse-soothing herb whose nine leaves had turned dark green.

[Ding! The host has modified the recipe for a tier 2 herb for the first time. Reward: Three Elemental Powder formula.]

Just as Su Chen was about to pluck the Meridian Unblocking Herb, the crisp voice of the system sounded at the same time.

“Three Elemental Powder formula?”

At this moment, Su Chen recalled that the system had given him a formula when he modified the tier 1 Bone Forging Grass. This time, the system had given him a recipe for the tier 2 Meridian Unblocking Herb. Did that mean that there would be a reward after modifying a tier 3 herb?

At this moment, Su Chen carefully looked at the formula that suddenly appeared in his hand.

[Three Elemental Powder: Requires Tier 2 Meridian Unblocking Herb as the main ingredient… By mixing different types of herbs, it has the effect of blocking spiritual Qi circulation.]

After looking at the formula, Su Chen was slightly disappointed. This formula was unable to help him improve and become stronger.

Then, he casually stuffed the formula into his storage space.

His eyes stared straight at this best-aged Meridian Unblocking Herb. After picking the Meridian Unblocking Herb, the fragrance of the medicine assaulted his nostrils as he looked at the dark green herb.

Without any hesitation, Su Chen picked a leaf and swallowed it.

He activated the Qi cultivation technique that he had learned before, which could help cultivators sense Qi.

The Qi cultivation technique was a basic cultivation technique that all immortal cultivators in the Central Plains continent had to learn. With this cultivation technique, they could find the sense of Qi and store it in their bodies. Only after accumulating Qi for a long time could they cultivate Qi.

After eating the Meridian Unblocking Herb and circulating the Qi cultivation technique, Su Chen realized that he did not feel anything.

Then, he swallowed the entire Meridian Unblocking Herb. He circulated the Qi cultivation technique over and over again.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened. Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a trace of disappointment in his eyes.

After a whole day of hard work, the tier 2 Meridian Unblocking Herb still could not allow him to sense Qi.

Su Chen then thought, ‘Could it be that one Meridian Unblocking Herb wasn’t enough?’

However, it did not take long for him to overturn this idea. Other people could sense Qi even without the help of Meridian Unblocking Herb, but he still could not sense it with the help of the best-aged Meridian Unblocking Herb. Then, it was not the Meridian Unblocking Herb’s problem, it was his own problem!

Looking at the path of Qi refinement, it was impossible for him to walk on it now. After confirming that he could not walk on the path of Qi refinement, Su Chen was not dejected. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit.

Su Chen thought, ‘If I can’t cultivate Qi, then I’ll cultivate my body. What I don’t lack at all are herbs.’

Looking at the seeds of Meridian Unblocking Herb on the ground, these good things could not be wasted. He would ripen these to their optimal age, and it would be good to exchange them for spirit stones or spirit items.

He collected the seeds, planted all of them, and modified them to 50 years later.

After finishing the Meridian Unblocking Herb, Su Chen looked at the Green Jade Grass all over the ground. He began to harvest diligently.

It took Su Chen a full two hours just to harvest these Green Jade Grass..
