Chapter 401: Chapter 197: Character Plate · Chang Family Crisis · Departure Preparations

Xiao Chen didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately dug in, wolfing down the bone broth and rice.

Before long, he had devoured the entire large pot of bone broth, along with ten kilograms of Spirit Rice.

Just as he had expected, the meal wasn’t enough to help his Body Refining Cultivation break through to Tier Three.

However, it wasn’t without its benefits. At the very least, it allowed Xiao Chen’s Nine Strengths Mountain Shifting Technique to successfully break through to the highest level—the Ninth Strength—and he had basically integrated and mastered it.

It could be said that in terms of Body Forging cultivation alone, he had now reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

’This should be about enough.’

Xiao Chen sensed his progress and nodded in satisfaction.

This was about as much as he could do for now.

He had exhausted all the Spiritual Objects on hand, and his normal cultivation speed was too slow. Any further delay, and he might not make it to the Secret Realm in time.

’I should go say my goodbyes before I leave. This trip might take a long time.’

Xiao Chen thought for a moment. He really did have a lot to accomplish on this trip.

His first objective was definitely to go to the Hundred Herbs Secret Realm and find the Purple Gold Bodhi left behind by the Yellow Springs Dao.

At the same time, he would check if there were any other High Tier Spirit Medicines inside the Secret Realm.

After all, according to the information from the inheritance, there should be other Spirit Medicines there.

Logically speaking, any Spirit Medicine that could be grown there would have to be at least Tier Three.

Just picking up any random plant should be worth a fortune.

His second objective was to collect Evil Qi. He had to at least go to the bay of the Feidu Sea and search for himself, to see if it really concealed the Silver Frost Fiend as the rumors claimed.

At the same time, he could also ask around for news about other types of Evil Qi.

Even though he had already reached Core Formation, Evil Qi remained an extremely important resource.

After all, the Mystic Sky Eating Secret Technique hidden within the Inscriptionless Stele was a Heaven-Reaching Secret Technique left behind by the Lord of the Immortal Palace.

Since it dared to call itself a Heaven-Reaching Secret Technique, its use was naturally not limited to helping a cultivator achieve Core Formation.

According to the Mystic Sky Eating Secret Technique, even when it came time for Nascent Soul Formation in the future, each pair of Five Elements Evil Qi could increase a cultivator’s chances of success by five percent.

If he could collect all the Five Elements Evil Qi, his chances of success in Nascent Soul Formation would increase by an additional five percent.

In other words, the Five Elements Evil Qi could increase his chances of successfully reaching Nascent Soul Formation by a total of thirty percent.

And most importantly, this effect could be stacked with other Tier Breakthrough Spirit Medicines or Secret Techniques.

Therefore, for Xiao Chen, collecting Evil Qi remained a matter of utmost importance.

Besides these two most pressing objectives, he had three other matters to attend to in the Eastern Domain.

The first, naturally, was to buy a Storage Ring to replace his Storage Bags, which were clearly running out of space.

After all, he was already carrying a fifth Storage Bag on his belt.

If this continued, he’d soon need a sixth, and then a seventh. It was simply too cumbersome.

The second matter was to ask around for news about Dao Crystals.

These offered an opportunity to comprehend the Great Dao, so naturally, the more the better.

Besides, as long as he successfully obtained the Purple Gold Bodhi, he wouldn’t have to worry about his comprehension ability being insufficient.

The third matter was to find a Body Refining Secret Technique.

Here in the Southern Domain, other than the late Ghost Flood Dragon True Man, Xiao Chen hadn’t heard of any other Tier Three Body Cultivators.

Therefore, to obtain a Tier Three Body Refining Secret Technique, he would have to rely on the Eastern Domain.

And it wasn’t just the Secret Technique; the flesh and bones of Tier Three Demon Beasts would also surely be easier to obtain in the Eastern Domain.

It would be best if he could raise his Body Refining Cultivation to Tier Three while in the Eastern Domain.

That task alone would probably take several months.

When he calculated everything, adding in the travel time, he feared that even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t be able to return for two or three years.

Therefore, a proper goodbye before he left was essential.
