The Massacre of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator!_2 Chapter 74: 061: Promoted Again!
The Massacre of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator!_2 To achieve this state, one must first reach the realm of unity between man and sword, which is not difficult for him.
However, while this method allows controlling the artifact to be more flexible and increases the speed by more than half, it consumes too much spiritual energy.
With his current cultivation level of the 5th Qi Cultivation level, to ensure his safety in the wilderness, he dares not travel this way.
He can only practice it at most, and use it for escape during critical moments.
…
...
Half an incense stick time later.
Chen Dengming returned to Brocade Mill.
He swiftly handed over the Demonic Beast meat to the butcher at the Spirit Vegetable Market for processing.
“My goodness, Brother Chen, another Iron Claw Flying Frog?
These things are fast and rare.
Are you keeping it to yourself instead of selling it for Spirit Stones?”
“Sell?
How could I not sell it?
Sell half of it, and with the remaining half, make some Spicy Flying Frog.
We cultivators can gather and have a drink.”
“Excellent!
Brother Chen, rest assured, we will get you a good price.”
Chen Dengming left with a smile, while several cultivators in the Spirit Vegetable Market watched him admiringly.
“Brother Chen is amazing!
He has hunted many Demonic Beasts over the past month!”
“You flatter me.
They were merely small Demonic Beasts of the first and second Qi Cultivation levels, causing trouble everywhere.
The bigger ones are too cunning for me to provoke.”
“Brother Chen is strong yet humble…”
The cultivators admired and watched Chen Dengming’s departing figure.
Observing Chen Dengming’s robust figure and the faint traces of Evil Qi about him, they knew he was not someone to be provoked.
The key was that he didn’t frighten anyone; he got along well with everyone, often calling himself ‘little Chen’, and was frequently hospitable and humble.
Therefore, even if they saw him earning money, the people nearby didn’t envy him.
Instead, they hoped for more such approachable cultivators around them.
Chen Dengming returned to his room in the inn.
Just then, a cultivator finished his business and walked out of the room.
Seeing Chen Dengming, he immediately approached with a pleasant smile, handing over a low-grade Spirit Crystal, saying,
“Brother Chen, my experience these past few times has been very good, abundant indeed.
I feel like I will make a breakthrough after a few more sessions.”
“Good.
As long as you had a good experience.” Chen Dengming accepted the spirit stone with a smile and patted the cultivator’s shoulder, “Go ahead, and be sure to introduce few cultivators you’re friendly with to patronize my business.”
“Absolutely, Brother Chen, don’t worry,” the cultivator responded.
Watching the cultivator leave,
Chen Dengming entered the room.
After a brief perception, he noticed that the room’s Earth series Spiritual Energy had decreased significantly, and he immediately smiled.
Some time ago, he had started exploring another way to earn money.
After Jiang Qiang and he finished cultivating using the Soul Snatching Array Disk, he would invite a cultivator with Water or Earth series Spiritual Roots to the room for cultivation.
After all, once the two of them finished cultivating, only Water and Earth Spiritual Energy remained in the room.
It was easier to absorb and effectively increased cultivation efficiency.
This was convenient for everyone.
Initially, he simply offered free trials and invited some neighborhood cultivators for cultivation.
Over time, as word spread, this venture became successful.
Although his fee wasn’t high—a low-grade spirit stone allowed three cultivation sessions—it was time-efficient and also earned him some extra money, a decent way to make a living.
After securing the room’s door, Chen Dengming took out the Array Plate from his waist, released the Mini Array Spirit, and began to cultivate while watching its dance.
Lately, Chen Dengming had encouraged the Mini Array Spirit to learn several dances to avoid monotony.
The cultivation journey accompanied by the Mini Array Spirit’s singing and dancing was also enjoyable and not dull.
Generally, he cultivated his lower body in the morning and his legs in the afternoon, with spiritual anomalies in the evening and strange things at night, always changing things up to stimulate cultivation.
As usual, before cultivating, the status panel appeared before Chen Dengming, allowing him to understand his daily progress.
“5th Level Qi Cultivator [Chen Dengming]
Lifespan: 238/302
Spiritual Roots: Gold, Wood (Superior 0/100)
Martial Arts: [Chen Clan Martial Arts Compendium] (Great Perfection)
Daoism: [Gu Refining Chapter] (Master 28/100), [Three Elements Gathering Spirit Skill] (5th layer 252/500), [Chen’s Dao Method Chapter] (Highly Skilled 47/100), [Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill] (1st layer 78/100), [Artifact Controlling Secret] (Master 57/100), [Gold Touching Skill] (Beginner 47/100)”…
…
Ever since his spiritual roots upgraded to superior quality, Chen Dengming’s cultivation speed has been delightful.
Even if the [Three Elements Gathering Spirit Skill] is merely a common cultivation technique, it couldn’t stand his hardcore cultivation style.
The so-called talent is accumulated through practice and success through hard work is proven true.
A little more than half a month ago, he broke through the 5th Qi Cultivation level and his lifespan limit increased by 15 years.
Additionally, Gold Touching Skill advanced from beginner to intermediate level, thereby further increasing his lifespan.
His current lifespan limit has reached 302 years, with 64 good years remaining.
At present, he can improve the proficiency of the Three Elements Spirit Gathering Skill by 14 points every day.
It’s only been half a month since the last breakthrough, yet he’s already reached the middle stage of the 5th Qi Cultivation Level.
By keeping up this cultivation fever, he will be able to break through again in about twenty days, reaching the 6th Qi Cultivation level.
Chen Dengming already has a plan in mind.
Foll𝑜w current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.
He intends to hang on at Brocade Mill until he reaches the 7th Qi Cultivation level, accumulate wealth, and then leave Brocade Mill and the borderlands to venture to other regions in search of new opportunities.
The resources in the borderlands are indeed too meager, and they don’t even have better cultivation techniques.
There aren’t any higher level Qi Cultivation Dao techniques; they are firmly controlled by several Cultivation Families.
If he can’t obtain higher level Dao techniques, Chen Dengming will find it hard to extend his lifespan by practicing higher Dao techniques, thereby limiting his greatest advantage.
If he wants to learn higher level Dao techniques or better cultivation techniques, he would have to join a Cultivation Family, work for them, and make meritorious contributions for a chance.
With Chen Dengming’s current strength, he could join any of the Lin, Hu, Xiong, Luo, or Zhu families.
