Chapter 524: Everyone is Satisfied
Chapter 524: Everyone is Satisfied!
On the first day, Jiang Chen focused on stabilizing his cultivation realm.
On the second day, he opened his personal spatial realm.
By the third day, both he and the items within were extremely excited.
Seven consecutive days passed; his Spirit Roots, his cultivation realm, and his spirit plants all underwent transformations.
The efficiency of his Water and Wood Spirit Roots in attracting and mobilizing the surrounding Spirit Qi had multiplied several times over.
Regarding his realm, quantitative change led to qualitative change, and because of the enhancement effect of the Four Seasons Fruits, the harvest was greater than imagined.
Jiang Chen was absolutely certain that after ten days, even if he hadn’t reached the late Golden Core stage, he would be infinitely close to it.
It couldn’t be helped; at a depth of five hundred meters, the life force was too dense.
Even if another person were here, with the Four Seasons Fruits, heaven-defying cultivation techniques, a top-grade Golden Core, and so on combined, they would achieve the same efficiency.
If it were a top-tier genius, it would probably be even faster.
As for the spirit plants within his spatial realm, it was a bit like “a long drought meeting sweet rain.”
After absorbing more and more life force, the first to transform were various rare spirit plants, and the two with the greatest changes were:
First, the Prosperity Seed Mother Rice.
Second, the Three Spirit Holy Tree.
The Three Spirit Holy Tree happened to align with his Water and Wood Spirit Roots, so its growth speed was very fast.
It basically grew taller every day, continuously growing.
The Prosperity Seed Mother Rice, however, was somewhat outrageous—it actually started to burst with seeds.
The more life force it absorbed, the more rice seeds it dropped, and even more outrageous was that these seeds that fell to the ground all grew at a visible pace.
In just six short days, with the Prosperity Seed Mother Rice at the center, an area extending outward for over a thousand meters had become its “territory.”
Other rice seeds and spirit plants had no space to survive at all.
Anything not of the same variety was completely crowded out.
This forced Jiang Chen to go in once and move all the other spirit rice and spirit plants to another Spirit Farm, only then was there peace.
Although the current situation was a bit off, one could even say abnormal.
But having changes was better than having no changes.
Moreover, all these burst seeds were rare spirit plants.
…
…
Outside, Mu Ning had been keeping watch, as she needed to close the Life Pool.
As time passed day by day, for some reason, she herself became increasingly weak.
At first it was normal, but the later it got, the more powerless she felt, even starting to feel drowsy.
Bei Qingtang, returning after several days away, took one look and was stunned: “What’s wrong with you?”
Mu Ning glanced at the Life Pool behind her and shook her head. “I don’t know either, I’ve never encountered this situation before.”
Bei Qingtang frowned slightly. “If it really comes to it, we should summon Sixth Junior Brother out early.”
Mu Ning quickly waved her hands. “No, we can’t do that, what if he happens to reach Foundation Establishment Perfection these few days?”
Bei Qingtang hesitated slightly. “But your current condition…”
Mu Ning smiled weakly. “I’m fine, I can hold on a bit longer.”
Bei Qingtang was very helpless. “You all really worry me to death.”
Mu Ning was very curious. “What’s wrong?”
Bei Qingtang said irritably, “Second Junior Brother, perhaps worried that Sixth Junior Brother might take Su Tiantian away or marry into her family, the two simply moved in together.”
Mu Ning was stunned. “What’s wrong with living together?”
Bei Qingtang’s expression was somewhat complicated. “You’re still young, you don’t understand what it means.”
Once living together, what should have happened must have already happened.
With good luck, they might even have a child in their arms after a while.
The Medicine Fairy heard this news and flew into a rage, almost taking action.
In just a few short days, the entire Verdant Wood Peak was thrown into chaos.
It even disturbed the Master who was in Secluded Cultivation, and it took a lot of persuasion to calm her down.
If Su Tiantian were just an ordinary disciple, everyone would naturally not care.
However, her mother was the Medicine Fairy of Verdant Wood Peak.
Her father had even given his life for the Immortal Sect.
Moreover, over at the Inviting Moon Immortal Sect, she also had some connections.
Therefore, everyone knew in their hearts that this matter had to be addressed one way or another.
Otherwise, relations between the two sides wouldn’t just become strained; they might even tear apart at any moment.
To put it simply, having Sixth Junior Brother marry into the family was something they were willing to do.
However, Second Junior Brother living with Su Tiantian was something they were not happy about.
Now, during the Sect Leader election phase, if this matter blew up, not only would the Master’s reputation be damaged, but the entire Verdant Wood Peak might be affected.
Over the next three days, Bei Qingtang came from time to time to check on Mu Ning’s condition.
Although she grew weaker day by day, the little girl still held on.
By the time Jiang Chen came out, not only were Senior Sister and Mu Ning there.
Even Third Senior Brother Qin Ye and Fourth Senior Brother Gu Qiao had come.
After all, even they weren’t qualified to enter the Life Pool.
A latecomer had instead gained recognition first.
Anyone would be curious.
“How much do you think Sixth Junior Brother has improved?”
“At least Foundation Establishment Perfection, right?”
“Maybe just a step away from Golden Core!”
“A Human-Grade Golden Core is no problem, but an Earth-Grade Golden Core…”
“Sixth Junior Brother hasn’t been in the Immortal Sect for long, he’s lacking in many aspects!”
Just as everyone was discussing.
On the other side, Mu Ning seemed to sense something and quickly called out, “He’s coming out.”
Not long after, with the sound of footsteps, Jiang Chen, who had been away for ten days, walked out step by step, carrying an ethereal aura.
Bei Qingtang quickly asked, “Sixth Junior Brother, how much have you improved?”
Jiang Chen cupped his hands to everyone and said lightly, “Thanks to Master, and thanks to Senior Sister and Senior Brothers, I am now just a Tribulation away from Golden Core.”
Upon hearing this, some were surprised, some breathed a sigh of relief.
But in the end, the result was about what they had expected.
During the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment stages, the Life Pool’s effect was very great.
Once reaching Golden Core, or even Nascent Soul, the effect would become increasingly poor.
In the end, it could no longer improve cultivation realm, only used for healing.
Jiang Chen saw everyone’s reactions and thought to himself, “Since things have come to this, dragging it out any longer is meaningless.
Once Master breaks through to Soul Formation, he might very well see through my disguise.”
It would be better to take this opportunity to find a chance to “break through” to Golden Core.
This way, not only could he avoid more trouble.
The key was that he could gain more resource allocation from the Immortal Sect and Verdant Wood Peak.
No matter how you looked at it, there were only benefits, with few drawbacks.
Mu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. “Great, it wasn’t in vain that I held on for so many days.”
She quickly closed the entrance to the Life Pool.
Her originally weak body gradually began to recover.
Bei Qingtang was very satisfied with the result. “Good, we’ll find an opportunity later for you to smoothly undergo your Tribulation here on Verdant Wood Peak.”
Third Senior Brother Qin Ye asked with a smile, “Sixth Junior Brother, have you decided which type of Golden Core you want?”
A Human-Grade Golden Core had low difficulty, but unfortunately limited Potential.
An Earth-Grade Golden Core had high difficulty, but could Awaken divine abilities and have a better future.
As for a Heavenly-Grade Golden Core, forget it.
Not to mention the person before them, even they themselves, or most Cultivators in the Azure Realm, almost had no qualification.
Jiang Chen answered seriously, “I choose the Earth-Grade Golden Core, only this way can I go further!”
