Chapter 263: 135: Innumerable male cultivators in the world, the real scripture hidden in the ancient temple underground (Seeking votes early in the month)_1 Chapter 263: 135: Innumerable male cultivators in the world, the real scripture hidden in the ancient temple underground (Seeking votes early in the month)_1 About the implied bonus question expressed by Sister He, after Chen Dengming casually brushed it off with a half-joking tone, he still steered the topic towards the secret place, and he asked Sister He whether she could break through to complete the Foundation Establishment phase and condense a False Core after retrieving the desired item from the secret place.
If so, then he would be one step behind again, only hoping that one day he could keep up with Sister He’s pace, or even overtake her.
The sudden shift of the topic, coupled with Chen Dengming’s optimism and confidence when mentioning ‘overtaking’, allowed the astute He Yingyu to accurately grasp Chen Dengming’s intentions, making her appreciate him even more.
There are countless male Cultivators in the world who are more accomplished than Chen Dengming.
But within the Changchun Sect, someone like Brother Chen, who is strong, modest, talented, humorous, enthusiastic, dignified despite poverty, righteous, uncompromising, and incorruptible, is absolutely not found.
There were quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators who chased after her in the past, and even until now.
Even the immortal Golden Core masters of the Longevity Sect, who are old and disrespectful, have expressed certain intentions, but all have been kindly rejected by her.
...
This has given her a strong self-confidence.
As long as she shows a little bit of her intentions, almost no male Foundation Establishment Cultivator can resist and will definitely pursue her vigorously.
But Brother Chen is the only exception.
Besides, it’s clear that this Brother Chen doesn’t want to become a pretty-boy living off a woman as some idle gossip inside the sect suggests.
He possesses a strong will to achieve immortality and aspire towards the Dao.
This stubborn streak of his, though a bit hard and unpleasant, has captured her heart.
Perhaps the easier something is to obtain, the less it is cherished, and the more unattainable something is, the more it stirs up.
With that, she understands and accepts in silence, allowing this subtle intertwined emotion to slowly ferment and persist.
They support each other, help each other grow, excel together, naturally blooming.
…
Three days later.
A Spirit Boat was racing through the turbulent sea of clouds, heading straight for a secret place two thousand miles from the Changchun Sect.
Inside one of the rooms of the Spirit Boat.
Chen Dengming observed his own state and fell into deep contemplation.
“Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator[Chen Dengming]
Life-span: 87/338/729
Spiritual Root: Gold, Wood (Superior 50/100)
Martial Skills: Slight
Daoism: “Longevity Spring Skill” (Sixth Level 416/30000), “Chen’s Dao Method Chapter” (Master 68/100), “The Rejuvenation Skill” (Beginner 73/100), “Hundred Demon Night Banquet” (Beginner 65/100), “Record of Hundred Demon Yin Cultivating Spirit” (Proficient 19/100), “Refining Skill· Qi Refining Chapter” (Proficient 24/100), others slight …”
Compared with more than a year ago, his life-span has once again increased by 45 years.
Out of the thirty years limit, it was the increase after the “Longevity Spring Skill” rose by two levels, and the remaining fifteen years came from the increase brought by the “Golden Gang Spirit Sovereign Skill” and “The Rejuvenation Skill”.
As for the promotion of “Gold Spear Skill” and “Hundred Demon Night Banquet”, “Record of Hundred Demon Yin Cultivating Spirit”, “Refining Skill· Qi Refining Chapter” and other skills and techniques, due to the overlap of skills level, it did not bring about an increase in life-span.
Chen Dengming slapped his Storage Bag, took out the Spirit Subduing Vase and the Bone Age Measuring Instrument.
He activated the Bone Age Measuring Instrument and examined himself.
The detection light of the instrument stayed in the orange area, and the color was quite deep.
“It seems that my bone age has not changed much, but right now it should be about the same as my real age, being in the stage of eighty or so and close to ninety.”
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
Chen Dengming pondered for a moment, removed the Bone Age Measuring Instrument, and glanced at the Spiritual Root Aptitude on his panel, temporarily suppressing his eager thoughts.
There’s no rush, there will be plenty of time.
He still has such a long life to live and should proceed with caution.
There was no need to be impatient.
To be safe, he should wait until he officially enters the Longevity Sect, and then further improve his Spiritual Root Aptitude, or wait for later opportunities to refine thunder with Sister He in the valley a few more times, using the Pure Yang Thunder Power to temper his body and reduce his bone age.
Originally, after he used a hundred years of life to further improve his Spiritual Root Aptitude, his bone age soared to over a hundred and forty years old.
As a result, he was given a sweet reward by He Yingyu.
He used Pure Yang Thunder Power to temper his body, causing his bone age to become much younger again.
This kind of benefit, if there’s a chance in the future, he should take advantage of the protector’s opportunity to taste it more.
Chen Dengming put away the Bone Age Measuring Instrument and activated the Spirit Subduing Vase, releasing the Soul Attracting Banner stored inside.
In a moment, the cabin seemed to have its temperature drop sharply.
The cold wind blew in gusts, and strange whisper-like sounds vaguely echoed.
Chen Dengming shook the banner, and with its activation, the dark light illuminated the room.
Immediately, the whispers turned into the howling of the cold wind resembling ghosts crying and wolves howling.
‘Whoosh’ From the banner flew out of a dark whirlwind-like ghost.
Its face was full of fierce flesh, showing its teeth and hanging its mouth.
Upon seeing Chen Dengming, its fierce expression disappeared, turning into a stunned one.
“Having cultivated for more than a year, now Daoist friends Zhu has the might of a ninth-level Qi Cultivation ghost.
To cultivate this ghost, it all depends on eating souls.
The more it eats, the faster it improves.
It mainly depends not on spiritual roots but on the strength and talent of the soul.
The speed of strength improvement is even faster than when Daoist friends Zhu was a Cultivator.
Could it be that Daoist friends Zhu only opened up the correct path of cultivation after becoming a ghost?
With the potential of becoming a Ghost Immortal…”
Chen Dengming stared at Chu Xun’s ghost and couldn’t help but tease.
He laughed and then fell silent again, knowing that it was a far-fetched hope.
Because Chu Xun has not shown any signs of regaining his spiritual wisdom so far, which means that it would be very difficult to cultivate him into a Foundation Establishment ghost.
Chen Dengming tried to communicate for a while, and Chu Xun’s ghost sometimes bared its teeth and sometimes frowned and hummed, without showing any more signs of spiritual wisdom.
