Chapter 2085: Chapter 2040: Cangnan Academy
"Where is the location?" Chen Yang asked.
"Mount Kunlun, top peak."
Feng Nihuang didn’t hesitate to tell Chen Yang the location.
"Alright." Chen Yang nodded, agreeing with Feng Nihuang.
"I’ve told you the information. I hope you’ll keep my secret about the fire in my body." Feng Nihuang said.
"Of course, I’ll definitely keep my promise." Chen Yang said confidently.
"Hmm, Cangnan Academy’s student recruitment is at most half a month away, if you’re really interested, you should go early." Feng Nihuang reminded.
"Okay, understood, thank you." Chen Yang thanked Feng Nihuang with cupped fists.
Feng Nihuang said nothing more and left.
"Cangnan Academy..." Chen Yang pondered momentarily but didn’t linger long, heading towards the exit.
He arrived just as the secret realm entrance opened once again.
He followed and left the secret realm together with the others.
"Kid, we’re not finished with discussing the Dragon Qi." As he left, Ming Xiong provocatively spoke to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang smirked and didn’t respond.
He left the secret realm entrance directly, returning to his temporary lodging at Divine Dragon Mountain.
Three days had passed, and the Dragon God Sect’s Divine Dragon Conference had already concluded.
Many sects and individuals were gradually leaving the mountain.
Upon Chen Yang’s return, Ao Min immediately asked him when he planned to descend the mountain and return to Liuhua Village.
If there were no trouble, Chen Yang would naturally leave Divine Dragon Mountain as soon as possible and return to Liuhua Village to break through to the Spirit Gathering Realm.
But now there was trouble, so he couldn’t descend the mountain rashly.
"Tomorrow or the day after." Chen Yang thought for a moment.
"Alright." Ao Min, knowing Chen Yang had his plans, didn’t ask further.
"By the way, Brother Chen, shouldn’t we go exchange this?" Ao Min chuckled, taking out the Jade Token from the previous bet at Yatang.
At that time, they placed their bets following Chen Yang.
Betting on Chen Yang to win.
And the odds were quite high.
Now that Chen Yang had returned from the Divine Dragon Pool, it was naturally time to exchange.
"Hmm, let’s go exchange." Chen Yang was equally excited.
He had placed two thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones, which would amount to a huge fortune when exchanged.
This trip to Divine Dragon Mountain was indeed rewarding, well worth it.
With Ao Min, led by an immortal crane, Chen Yang left their lodging and headed towards Yatang.
During the peak period for descending the mountain, many people came to Yatang to exchange Spirit Stones.
Layered thrice, bustling with excitement.
Elder Yi, who was in charge of hosting Yatang, appeared content.
Opening such venues was typically foolproof, and this conference earned him a great amount of Spirit Stones.
But his expression changed upon seeing Chen Yang and Ao Min arrive.
He had a vivid memory of Chen Yang...
Seeing Chen Yang use two thousand Spirit Stones to bet on an unknown person, Elder Yi thought Chen was reckless.
Only now did he realize the fool was himself.
"Haha, Elder Yi, we meet again." Ao Min approached with a smiling face.
But Elder Yi couldn’t muster a genuine smile.
"Yes, it’s you two." Elder Yi forced a smile.
"Yes, we’re here to exchange Spirit Stones, here is my Jade Token." Ao Min, unafraid of being cheated, handed over the Jade Token directly to Elder Yi.
Elder Yi’s heart bled!
But there was no way around it, the exchange had to be done.
"Alright, I’ll get it exchanged for you." Elder Yi’s face turned ashen.
"Wait, Elder Yi, I have mine too." Chen Yang stopped Elder Yi and handed over his Jade Token.
Elder Yi’s face turned even darker.
Over twenty thousand Spirit Stones...
He was heartbroken!
"Alright." Elder Yi, pained, took the Jade Token and left.
After over half an hour, he emerged from the back hall.
Throwing a silk pouch to both Chen Yang and Ao Min.
"Your Spirit Stones are inside." Elder Yi said, pained.
Chen Yang smiled and opened his Spirit Stones to check, only to find something wrong.
Missing five hundred Spirit Stones!
Ao Min’s was also missing, but not as much, only a hundred stones!
"What’s going on, Elder Yi? The count is off; we’re short by six hundred stones." Chen Yang asked puzzled.
Elder Yi, face dark, retorted, "Storage Silk Pouches aren’t free, are they? I’ve deducted the cost."
Damn, five hundred Spirit Stones per pouch, it’s like robbery.
Chen Yang understood that Elder Yi, hurting from the loss, found a way to deduct something.
But considering he gained over twenty thousand Spirit Stones practically free, he didn’t mind.
"Alright then, Elder Yi, thank you, we shall meet again." Chen Yang smilingly cupped his hands.
Elder Yi waved them off like flies, "Just go, seeing you two pains me."
Chen Yang, amused, said nothing further, leaving Yatang with Ao Min, returning to the loft.
Along the way, Ao Min was in great spirits.
This trip to Divine Dragon Mountain benefited him greatly.
Dragon Qi Green Lotus and so many Spirit Stones.
And attending such a grand banquet was most interesting.
Returning to the loft, Ao Min immediately shared the Spirit Stones with He Xiran and Xiao Hei.
Since they placed their bets together, they naturally had a share.
"Tonight, I have something important to do, so I won’t come down, and no one should disturb me."
Chen Yang planned to seize the opportunity to refine the elixir formed from Dragon Qi for a breakthrough.
So he needed to explain well to avoid interruptions during his breakthrough.
"Alright, understood, don’t worry, Brother Chen, if anyone disturbs, we’ll know how to handle it." Ao Min said.
"Hmm!"
Chen Yang nodded, then went up to his loft room alone, sitting cross-legged on the bed.
He didn’t start the breakthrough immediately, but first settled himself!
Recently, he had experienced many battles.
The Spiritual Energy within him was constantly surging.
To break through well, he needed to calm himself like water... to enter the best state.
In solitude, Chen Yang carefully reflected on the gains and losses of this period and his combat experiences.
He didn’t know how much time passed, but his body finally calmed completely.
And the moment he calmed, his body began to emit a faint glow.
The glow emerged mysteriously from within.
If anyone saw it, they’d surely be astonished.
Because the glow was mysteriously splendid, extraordinary.
At this moment, Chen Yang was wholeheartedly refining the elixir formed from the condensation of Dragon Qi...
Dragon Qi was the essence of the Dragon’s shadow, the most refined energy entity.
Absorbing the power of Dragon Qi was even better than absorbing high-grade Spirit Stones.
...
Chen Yang’s refinement process lasted an entire night!
By morning, he had finally refined all three Dragon Qi congealed elixirs, transforming them into his power.
After absorbing everything, his cultivation rose to a whole new level.
He even sensed the barrier of the new Realm!
As long as he wished, he could easily break through to the new Realm at any time!
However, he chose not to do so.
Because this was the Dragon God Sect.
