Chapter 69: Promotion to Nascent Soul

Returning to the underground palace, a peaceful life of cultivating immortality began.

Apart from occasionally going out for a few drinks, the rest of the time was spent in cultivation.

However, without the job of collecting corpses, Chen Shen felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He was quite eager to continue collecting corpses because often the rewards for collecting corpses were like opening a blind box, never knowing what surprises the next seemingly ordinary corpse would bring.

Two years later, Chen Shen felt that his cultivation level had been polished enough.

"The materials for the Breaking Infant Pill have long been prepared, it's time to start refining." He whispered.

The Breaking Infant Pill was one of the highest-level pills he could refine now.

After half a month of refining, ten sets of materials.

"Finally, two perfect quality pills have been produced." Chen Shen uncovered the lid of the furnace and saw two translucent pills inside, immediately feeling relieved.

"Junior Brother is going to promote to Nascent Soul?" Mu Xiaojin opened her eyes from meditation and asked eagerly.

Chen Shen glanced at her, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Polish a bit more, there's no rush for now."

It's better to be cautious.

He had no experience as a Nascent Soul cultivator at all, and now everything relied on his own exploration. He had walked his own path and everything had to be done steadily.

Half a year later.

"I'm going out to promote to Nascent Soul, be careful while I'm away."

"Do I not need to protect Junior Brother on his journey?"

Chen Shen scanned her spiritual sense and saw that her cultivation level was at the fifth level of the Gold Core stage, hesitating a bit.

"Junior Brother, be careful." Mu Xiaojin understood from his gaze that he thought her cultivation level was too low.

"I'm afraid I will be transcending tribulation a thousand miles away. I'm expected to return in three days."

"Wait patiently for good news, Junior Brother."

Chen Shen nodded and left the underground palace.

He flew five hundred miles in the opposite direction of Lingxi City and then stopped in a small town.

He casually found an inn and ordered a table full of delicious dishes on the second floor by the window.

"Guest, come and play!"

On the opposite balcony, several glamorous women greeted passersby.

"I have a beautiful wife at home, why bother." Chen Shen resisted the temptation.

Three days later, Chen Shen returned directly.

Promote to Nascent Soul? He had already become a Nascent Soul cultivator half a month ago.

The Qing Emperor's Longevity Art did not require transcending tribulation, all the changes happened within his body, and Mu Xiaojin didn't notice at all.

"My Dao companion is a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator!" Mu Xiaojin smiled.

...

Time passed like flowing water, another half a year went by.

"After promoting to Nascent Soul, the speed of cultivation has obviously slowed down. I'm afraid it will take five years to break through to the second level of Nascent Soul."

He increasingly missed collecting corpses, the experience of cultivation was so useful.

And the spiritual stones on his body were running a bit low.

"Sister, let's go to Lingxi City."

Then, Chen Shen destroyed the underground palace and took Mu Xiaojin to that magnificent city.

"Junior Brother's speed has increased a lot again."

"Unfortunately, I don't have a powerful speed Divine Ability, otherwise I could be even faster."

As they chatted, they flew towards Lingxi City as if teleporting.

"Hmm?"

Chen Shen frowned, his body instantly stopped, and then he flashed to the left, flying over a hundred miles.

"What's wrong?" Mu Xiaojin was puzzled.

As soon as she finished speaking, a huge disturbance occurred where they had been before. Even though they were separated by over a hundred miles, they could still feel a gust of wind.

"There's a Nascent Soul cultivator in a fierce battle!" Chen Shen scanned with his spiritual sense and his face slightly darkened.

Over there.

"The An Prince's Mansion is in chaos, why sacrifice ourselves for them? I'm just a messenger."

A pale-faced cultivator shouted angrily. In front of him were six Nascent Soul cultivators trying to kill him.

"Spouting nonsense, King An, who holds the world in his heart, how can he tolerate the slander of such insignificant people like you?"

As the words fell, a massacre began.

Chen Shen, who was far away on the horizon, listened and his eyes lit up.

King An's mansion? Chaos?

He had been waiting with Mu Xiaojin for over half an hour.

When his divine sense covered a range of thousands of miles and there were no traces of those cultivators, he returned to that place.

"Why is that, Junior Brother?" Mu Xiaojin saw Chen Shen gathering a pile of flesh and blood that had turned into fragments.

"As cultivators seeking immortality and the path of the Dao, as Fellow Daoists, since we cannot lend a helping hand, we should at least build a tomb for this Fellow Daoist."

Chen Shen dug a grave and buried the body.

Successful corpse collection!

Gained Immortal Dao experience (Nascent Soul Ninth Layer).

Gained...

"Junior Brother, you have a good heart." Mu Xiaojin nodded.

After a while.

"Let's go!" Chen Shen pulled Mu Xiaojin and hurried towards Lingxi City.

As soon as they entered the city, they felt a lively atmosphere and a crowd of people.

The two of them casually found an inn and checked in.

"So expensive?" Chen Shen was shocked when he paid the bill. It cost one hundred low-grade spirit stones per day.

But there was no other choice. Other inns were probably in a similar situation.

In the following days, Chen Shen began to inquire about the news of King An's mansion.

There was nothing more attractive than chaos.

The result was shocking after inquiring.

The Hundred Nations were located in the southern part of the Eastern Continent, and there were several major transcendent powers in the entire Eastern Continent.

One of them was the Immortal Dynasty, which occupied almost half of the Eastern Continent.

And King An's mansion was a city within the Immortal Dynasty.

In the Hundred Nations, Gold Core cultivators were awe-inspiring, Nascent Soul cultivators were dominant, and Soul Formation cultivators were revered as ancestors.

But in the Immortal Dynasty, Soul Formation cultivators were probably just cannon fodder.

"It seems that my plan to go to King An's mansion has temporarily failed." Chen Shen felt a little disappointed.

He was only at the first level of Nascent Soul. If he went to such a vast Immortal Dynasty, he would be like an ant that anyone could easily crush.

At least he needed to reach the peak of Nascent Soul or achieve the status of a Soul Formation ancestor.

"Let's stabilize first. The Immortal Dynasty is vast and full of treasures. The battles there must be intense. If I go, I don't necessarily have to go to King An's mansion, which is about to descend into chaos."

If something went wrong in the royal mansion of the Immortal Dynasty, it would be a battle beyond Soul Formation.

He would only be going to his death.

Suppressing his impulse, Chen Shen began to prepare for his cultivation.

Just like in Cangwu, he started from scratch.

First, he spent a huge sum of money to buy a decent mansion for refining pills and spiritual tools.

Then he started to travel around, investigating the demand in the pill market.

Talismans and refining tools, he learned about them all.

The result was disheartening. There were plenty of alchemists and refiners at his level.

Moreover, they formed alliances, such as the Pill Alliance and the Refining Tool Alliance, which even included integrated production and sales.

The market was almost monopolized by them.

Chen Shen didn't consider joining them. After all, they wouldn't accept alchemists and refiners with unknown backgrounds, and they would also check their identities to ensure they were not unscrupulous individuals.

But if he didn't join them, the selling price would be much cheaper than their own people.

"Life forces me to do this." Chen Shen sighed.

From then on, he used all four arts of cultivation to earn more spirit stones.

PS: It's so miserable, I can't hold on anymore. It makes me want to vomit. This chapter can only be like this.

Then let's talk about the plot. Actually, in my original outline, the female lead was supposed to die, but at that time, my brain went blank and I made her survive. And as a result, everyone saw it, some left, some cursed.

Here, I want to ask everyone, would it be better if the female lead died? Because I also feel that it has become tasteless, it doesn't have the original flavor.

Or maybe, this book is already finished... (tears streaming down)
