Chapter 72: Absorption, Breakthrough!
He took off his bamboo hat and walked out of the alley back to the armory, where he saw that everything was tidy and in order thanks to the efforts of the two Liu sisters. He felt a lot more at ease and went straight back to his room.
"I wonder how Jia Xin's injury is healing." Yi Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, exhaling a misty breath and speaking softly.
They had agreed to enter the Tian Du Forest together, but due to Jia Xin's injury, they could only postpone their entry. Now all they can do is wait slowly.
Shaking his head slightly, Yi Chen directly activated the Nether Soul Technique and closed his eyes to enter a meditative state.
For the next six days, Yi Chen spent all his time in cultivation.
And that piece of Ling Stone Mine was also fully excavated by him, obtaining four three-star Soul Spirit Stones and fifty two-star Soul Spirit Stones. Such a harvest made people's hearts joyful.
Apart from cultivating and mining spiritual stones, Yi Chen also often disguised himself and entered the ancient family's Dou Ling arena, where he had swindled many low-level magic mirror masters.
In just six days, the number of Soul Spirit Stones in Yi Chen's storage ring skyrocketed, and he eventually exchanged them for 4 four-star Soul Spirit Stones and 15 three-star Soul Spirit Stones.
Such a crazy Dou Ling naturally attracted the attention of many people, but every time Yi Chen disguised himself extremely well, and no one recognized him.
"It seems we need to lay low for a while, otherwise we'll eventually attract the attention of the Gu family."
Wearing a bamboo hat and walking out of a small alley, Yi Chen frowned, having just dealt with several guys who were preparing to eat black food.
This will eventually be exposed, Yi Chen's choice is very rational, after removing the helmet and returning to the armory's wing room.
"Four four-star Soul Spirit Stones and fifteen three-star Soul Spirit Stones, if I absorb all of these, I should be able to advance to the middle stage of the Celestial Soul Realm, right?" Yi Chen said softly as he took out his spoils from the past few days.
The cultivation before Zhenhun Realm was very rapid, but after Zhenhun Realm, every promotion of a grade required extremely long time to cultivate.
While Yì Chén wanted to rapidly increase his cultivation, he could only continuously absorb Soul Spirit Stones, but such consumption would be extremely enormous.
Shaking his head, Yi Chen also didn't think much of it and took out the tattoo equipment and needles as well.
With his current cultivation level, he has a 70% success rate in identifying three-star Soul Spirit Stones and a 50% success rate for four-star Soul Spirit Stones.
Such a success rate among magic mirror masters of the same level is already considered top-notch. However, Yi Chen was still not satisfied, after all, every soul stone was extremely precious and couldn't afford to lose even one.
"Hmm."
Expelling the distracting thoughts from his mind, Yi Chen grasped the artifact and began to carve the Three-Star Pattern with his soul power. His movements were extremely swift, and the lines he carved out were all perfect.
During this period of entering and exiting the Dou Ling Arena, Yi Chen not only obtained the Soul Spirit Stone, but also became more skilled in engraving and drawing talismans.
"Hmm."
In just a moment, a three-star pattern was formed on the texture disc, releasing a faint glow.
He quickly picked up a three-star soul spirit stone and placed it in the center of the pattern, instantly emitting a strong suction force that drew out the chaotic energy from the three-star soul spirit stone.
"It succeeded!"
After the suction dissipated, Yi Chen took the soul spirit stone in his hand and continued to engrave and appraise it.
About half an hour later, all 15 three-star soul spirit stones were appraised. However, during the appraisal of the last one, it failed, resulting in the loss of a three-star soul spirit stone, which made Yi Chen feel painful.
He didn't continue to appraise the remaining four-star Soul Spirit Stones. The previous appraisal had already exhausted his soul power.
"Hmm."
Sit directly on the ground and meditate until the beast soul is refilled with soul power before continuing to engrave.
The success rate of the Four-Star Soul Spirit Stone was only fifty percent, and Yi Chen had to be even more careful. At this time, he didn't have a single distracting thought in his mind, calm as still water.
The fabric is under his control, floating on the loom, one by one clear and perfect stripes are gradually formed, intersecting with each other, gradually forming a pattern.
"Hmm."
Half a minute later, the pattern was fully formed, and a strong light burst out. Yi Chen quickly placed the Four Star Soul Spirit Stone in the middle of the pattern.
At that moment, a strong suction force was generated, and all the impurities in the Ling Stone were sucked out. After a while, the suction force gradually weakened, and the light also dissipated.
The first successful four-star soul spirit stone gave Yi Chen a bit of confidence in his heart, erasing all the original marks and starting to engrave the second pattern.
Good things come in pairs, and the second soul spirit stone was successfully identified. However, at the third attempt, Yi Chen failed and lost a four-star soul spirit stone.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Yi Chen felt extremely heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do. He carefully examined the last Soul Spirit Stone.
Fortunately, the last time did not disappoint him and was very lucky to succeed.
"Fourteen three-star Soul Essence Stones and three four-star Soul Essence Stones should be enough."
Softly speaking these words, Yi Chen began to sit cross-legged on the bed and started absorbing the Soul Spirit Stone.
No one disturbed him, and the fluctuations of soul power continued to emanate from the carriage house for four days, but Yi Chen was still absorbing.
"Rumble." Another day passed, and when Yi Chen absorbed the last Soul Spirit Stone, a muffled sound came from his dantian.
"Hiss." The soul power between heaven and earth poured into the room from all sides, a strong suction force emanated from Yi Chen's body, drawing in the vast soul power.
A formless gust of wind blew the long shirt on Yichens body. His face was filled with joy, controlling the vast soul power to flow through his meridians, tempering and then pouring it into the beast soul.
The absorption lasted for half an hour, after which the suction power released by Yicheng gradually weakened, and when it completely disappeared, the soul power also dispersed like a tide.
"Finally promoted to the middle rank!" The incantation was cut off, and Yi Chen suddenly opened his eyes, with two sharp lights flashing through his pupils.
After consuming so many Soul Stones, he finally upgraded by one rank. Yi Chen was overjoyed and entered a state of introspection, discovering that the amount of his soul power had increased by nearly a third!
This made Yi Chen very satisfied, and he lightly spat out a mouthful of turbid air before jumping down from the bed and walking out of the room.
"Yi Chen brothers, I thought you went somewhere else, but it turned out that you were hiding here all along." At this time, a familiar figure walked over from afar with a smile on his face.
"Jia Xin, what's going on? Has your injury healed?" Yi Chen smiled faintly and asked.
"A few days ago it was fine, but the old man at home gave me a task and made me go to the Ling Arena every day." Jia Xin's face showed annoyance.
"Dou Ling field? Did your old man let you go to Dou Ling?" Yi Chen asked in confusion.
"I wish I had that skill. Just the other day, a mysterious young man won several days in a row and my father wanted to recruit him."
"It's not just our Jia family now, the Yi family also has someone guarding there, and the strength of the Gu family is also watching, waiting for that young man to appear again." said Jia Xin.
