Eternal Reverence
Body Pool

As expected of a high-level energy crystal. Usually during cultivation, Li Chen could only rely on himself to absorb qi from heaven and earth. But now with the blue gem ring, it can be helped to collect qi and increase its cultivation efficiently.

The most valuable use of blue gem rings, is its function to store qi. When one nearly ran out of all their qi, they could absorb the qi from the ring for instant replenishment. This was equivalent to having a low grade yellow qi restoration pill.

Li Chen predicted that he would still need months before breaking through to the sixth level of the Qi Realm. And this blue gem ring will be of great benefit to him in the months to come.

As he slowly exhaled, Li Chen extracted the Heart Stone plant from the jade container.

The Heart Stone Plant is not helpful for cultivation, but is instead used to strengthen the root structure of one's bones.

People always talk about the roots of bones, but in fact, the structure of the roots of bones also plays a big role.

With excellent bone roots will be guaranteed natural toughness in one's bone structure.

Although a good bone root does not mean that you have strong bones while those that have strong bones do not mean you have good bone roots.

“After all, having strong bones is a good start. ”

Without a doubt, Li Chen consumed the Heart Stone Plant plant.

The Heart Stone Plant may look hard, but it actually melts when ingested. With his soul spirit, Li Chen could clearly feel the Heart Stone plant turning into a white current, flowing throughout his limbs and penetrating into his bones.

With a sudden attack, a numbing sensation crossed his bones. It was as if millions of ants were chewing on his bone marrow. Time passed quickly, as the drenched Li Chen finally opened his eyes.

"This sensation!"

Li Chen raised his hand. Although there was no difference that could be seen with the naked eye, the strength of his bones had doubled. The surface of the bone is much denser than before.

“This high-grade and yellow bone strengthening banquet makes my bones twice as strong. If the potion was a mystic grade or an earth grade, the effect would be better ten times or even a hundredfold. And there are many different types of herbs out there, who knows I'm getting lucky again out there. “Li Chen was amazed at the magic potion.

Herbs are a resource for cultivators. In the early records, there was once a man who obtained the legendary Dragon Blood plant and after consuming it, his body grew stronger than demonic beasts. Another case is when someone finds the Blazing Sunflower and eats it, its bone roots mutate into the frame of the Sun bone. Allowing him to cultivate the technique to be 10 times faster than anyone. And if one were to absorb the Eternal Phoenix potion, he would obtain the means of immortality, and would be reborn after death.

Herbs are grown with the help of heaven and earth. They held the power to change the innate strength of one's body. Of course, with that in mind, precious herbs were rarely found. Yellow grade potions were still available, but mystical grade potions were rare to find. They contained mysterious energies from heaven and earth.

Li Chen would visit the Misty Mountains every 3 days.

"Drop it off!"

As the Metal Claw Wolf approached, Li Chen did not move in the slightest. While waiting for the wolf to approach, Li Chen took out his sword then in an instant punched the throat of the Metal Clawed Wolf.

To this day, Li Chen had the skill to kill the Metal Claw Wolf in an instant. The true strength of Li Fuchen was not even known to himself.

“Against the wild beasts, my skills are not developing. But a savage beast is not a martial artist, and in order to perfect my combat skills, I must find a powerful cultivator to test my strength so that my skills can develop".

Li Chen was ambitious. Had someone else with all these achievements, they would have been satisfied. But not Li Chen, he wanted to become stronger, to achieve absolute strength. He did not know whether this was his true wish, or whether it was because of the golden talisman that caused this change, perhaps it was both.

After returning to the Li Clan, Li Chen met Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai looked at Li Chen with weak eyes. When Li Chen won against Yang Qi, he did not have the confidence to defeat Li Chen. But now that Li Chen had defeated Guan Peng, all his thoughts were shattered.

The fact was that he had once exchanged moves with Guan Peng. It ended as a draw, no one excelled.

“Li Chen, your combat ability is good. But it's unfortunate that your bone roots won't be able to develop any further. In 3 days, the body pool will be opened. Only 1 is eligible to enter, you should know who has better chances. ”

Mentioning the Body Pool, Li Yunhai felt his mood change for the better. In the Li Clan, he was the only one with a 2-star bone root. That meant, he was the only one who could enter it.

Without much thought, Li Chen congratulated Li Yunhai.

This Body Pool was one of the Li Clan's many important assets. At first that wasn't the case.

30 Years before. The Li Clan set up the Body Pool, they invested a large amount of Body Strengthening potions in it. After months and years, the potion mixed with the pond and revealed astonishing food for anyone soaking in the pond, giving it a strength of 1000 kilograms.

But to accumulate the medicinal effects of the pond required a prescribed amount of time, and the constant use of herbs. Under normal circumstances, it is only opened once every 2 years, and this is the second year.

Li Chen would definitely not ignore the benefits of the Body Pool. As a Qi Realm practitioner cannot manifest qi, the quality of one's body is very important. With a higher overall strength, the strength behind the slash would be affected. When one's strength grew significantly, it could allow one to surpass tiers in battle.

But it didn't bother Li Chen too much if he couldn't soak in the Body Pool. He felt that the Red Jade Technique was on the verge of breaking through. Once he opened the sixth rank, his combat skills would advance to the next level.

“Keke, you look calm. The city's biennial genius contest begins in 2 months. Only the top 5 could be chosen as disciples of the Cang Lan Sect . With your skills now, you can enter the top 5, two months later, the results are unclear. ”

Li Yunhai tried to provoke Li Chen again because he was dissatisfied, deep down, he wanted to see Li Chen's sad expression.

"Constructured me? Forget . ”

Li Chen scoffed and left, "Li Yunhai snorted".

For no reason at all, he hated Li Chen. Maybe it was because he liked Guan Xue too, but no one knew the 2 main reasons why he wanted to be accepted as a disciple of the Cang Lan Sect.

First was to let the Li Clan know, who the true savior of the Li Clan was. Once he became a disciple of the Cang Lan Sect, his father would be promoted to Patriarch.

Second, he could once again see Guan Xue. And if he worked hard, he might be able to keep up with Guan Xue's progress.
