Chapter 260: 133-134: Cultivation in Secret, The End of the War Zone, Luo Bing’s Decision (Two-in-one chapter asking for monthly tickets) _3 Chapter 260: 133-134: Cultivation in Secret, The End of the War Zone, Luo Bing’s Decision (Two-in-one chapter asking for monthly tickets) _3 “Haha!
Sister, you’re overestimating me, you will certainly be the first to break through the foundation establishment completion!”
…
For Chen Dengming, the late-stage Foundation Establishment was nothing more than a matter of time and hard work, the mastery of skills would naturally increase.
Over this half year, his Changchun Skill had also broken through the fourth layer, increasing his mana by about fifty percent.
The fifth layer of Changchun Skill, as he had expected, required twenty-thousand proficiency points to fully master.
With his current daily practice combined with the Soul Snatching Array, he was able to cultivate 52 proficiency points in the “Longevity Spring Skill” each day.
At this rate, he would only need a little over a year to master the fifth layer.
...
However, the first-level Soul Snatching Array he was using for his cultivation now seemed somewhat inadequate for his needs.
After all, the scope of a first-level Array was too small.
The spiritual energy he required for his cultivation was now much more than during the Qi Cultivation phase.
Even with frequent changes of practice locations and the little Array Spirit’s more vigorous work, it was becoming increasingly difficult to satisfy his growing needs.
Perhaps not too long from now, once he breaks through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, the first-level Soul Snatching Array would become useless to him, and his cultivation speed would consequently decrease significantly.
Other than joining the Longevity Sect in the future and living in a dwelling with better Spirit Veins, Chen Dengming currently didn’t have any good solutions.
Despite Jiang Qiang’s attempts to inquire on his behalf over these past six months, there was simply no information on any second-level Soul Snatching Arrays available on the market.
Things would just have to take their course for the time being.
He entered his dwelling, cast several Cleaning Skills on himself and his long-neglected dwelling, then rode the Black Cloud Leopard to the Gu Refining Place.
“Uncle Chen…”
“Brother Chen!
Going to the Gu refining site?
The sourc𝗲 of this content is frёeωebɳovel.com.
Busy man, haha.”
Along the way, disciples he encountered paid him respectful salutations.
Even fellow Foundation Establishment peers such as Bao Wen and Wang Xuanfei would stop to greet him politely and amicably, far from their previous minor disagreements.
This was all thanks to his reputation and strength.
Half a year ago, he made a name for himself in the battle zone, despite his attempts to keep a low profile, his battlefield prowess was widely praised by admirers like Zhou Yunji and Qi Fen.
The substantial merits on the merit list also contributed to many sect cultivators in the battle zone knowing that a newly promoted mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator named Chen Ming from Changchun Sect was really outstanding.
His battle power was so impressive that even Cao Yan of the Longevity Sect praised him, stating that he was considerably stronger than ordinary mid-stage foundation cultivators.
Otherwise, Qi Fen and Zhou Yunji wouldn’t bothered to brag about him.
Consequently, when Chen Dengming returned to the sect, the people around him became more amiable.
Various rumors that once circulated between him and Sister He gradually disappeared, replaced by extolment and praise.
…
“Whoosh──”
The wings of Black Cloud Leopard flapped, quickly bringing Chen Dengming to the outside of Gu Refining Place.
“Greetings, Senior Chen!”
Some loose cultivators in the Gu Refining Place, who were busy applying Cleaning Skills to Gu objects, immediately stopped their work to give respectful salutations to Chen Dengming.
“Brother Chen.”
Jiang Qiang immediately came over from inside the building.
Chen Dengming waved his hand, indicating for the others to continue their work.
He retained Jiang Qiang for a chat while walking, asking about the current situation of the Gu Market as they strolled towards the depths of the Gu Refining Place.
This area had been protected by Jiang Qiang using the Ground Sha Profound Green Array.
Once inside the open array, you could see an enormous deep pit filled with numerous writhing blood-colored centipedes.
The Blood Centipede Gu Pit.
This pit could produce hundreds of Blood Centipede Gus that didn’t require blood refining every month, which were quite popular among low-level Qi cultivators.
But what Chen Dengming was interested in now was not the wealth brought by these Blood Centipede Gus, but the Wuer that was hibernating in the blood cocoon in the corpse of a demonic beast located in the center of tens of thousands of Blood Centipede Gus.
His “Gu Refining Manual” was gradually approaching the brink of Master Level.
He had already begun trying to use the most primitive Gu-rearing strategies to further refine his former Golden Silkworm Gu and Blood Centipede Gu, drawing Evil Qi from the Gu Pit and nurturing the King Gu recorded in the Gu Refining Manual.
The “Gu Refining Manual” was a low-level Gu-refining skill.
It only briefly described the existence of the King Gu, stated the simple conditions for refining, but never detailed the refining process and techniques.
However, with the experience and theory accumulated in his “Gu Refining Manual”, which was on the verge of breaking through to the master level, he was gradually being able to comprehend the insights and techniques akin to Blood Refining Gus of the past.
Months prior, he had begun attempting to cultivate the King Gu.
He didn’t hesitate to use the flesh and blood of the demonic Ice Serpent Monster—his share of the spoils from the battle half a year ago—to cultivate the King Gu.
Apart from the Blood Centipede Gu Pit, at another crossroads deep inside the Gu Refining Place, a location enclosed by the Empty Sky Purity Array, there were countless golden threads constantly battling each other—these were Golden Silkworm Gus that would start a bidding war if they were ever put on the market.
But Chen Dengming would not allow these Golden Silkworm Gus to enter the market so easily.
He would rather have these Golden Silkworm Gus die in battle inside the array.
They would serve as sacrifices for the advancement of the King Gu.
The blood and Evil Qi from the battles of thousands of Golden Silkworm Gus were all absorbed by the King Gu, purifying its bloodline, making it easier to complete the advancement.
The rarer Golden Silkworm Gu became in the market, the more expensive it would be, attracting more families’ Qi Stage disciples to compete for it.
If there was an overabundance, it would lose its value.
This was similar to the situation in his past life when cars were hoarded and not sold but were abandoned instead.
“Brother Chen, don’t worry about these treasures.
I’ll take good care of them.”
