"Su Chen: Profound Realm Level Six (Abundant Qi and Blood, Strong Kidney, Remaining Lifespan: 15 years)"
After one night, Su Chen's lifespan had increased by five years, which made him very happy.
Looking at Chu Yanran sleeping beside him, and thinking of her hard work last night, Su Chen knew that he had not only gained five years of lifespan, but also gained the dignity of a man.
After being tortured by this little fox for a year, Su Chen had long been physically and mentally exhausted, and even a little tired of the world. But after last night, Su Chen had turned from a serf to a landlord, and completely regained the dignity of a man.
"Master, Noble Consort Fox is here to visit."
Huang Zhan's voice came from outside the door.
"Got it."
Su Chen slapped Chu Yanran's thigh, and Chu Yanran woke up with a start, and said dispiritedly: "Let me sleep for a while more, I really don't have any strength left."
"Do you think everyone is as unrestrained as you?"
Su Chen pulled Chu Yanran up in a bad mood, and urged her to get dressed and leave with Kitsune as soon as possible.
"Remember what I told you last night." Su Chen reminded Chu Yanran.
Chu Yanran smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, being someone's pet is not something to be proud of, I won't expose my shortcomings."
After saying that, this little fox's hands started to wander around Su Chen's body.
Su Chen drove her away in a bad mood.
"Ding, Nine-tailed Demon Fox's loyalty to host + 10."
Uh …
After dealing with Chu Yanran's matter, Su Chen also swept away the anger that had accumulated in his body for the past year, and was ready to start cultivating seriously.
The Xuanyuan Continent was much wider than he had imagined. His current Profound Realm Level Six cultivation was still an ant-like existence in the entire continent.
Without strength, there would be no future.
Su Chen didn't want to live under someone else's shadow.
With a million skill points in hand, he had to seize the opportunity to gain a foothold before these skill points were exhausted.
In the pill refining room.
Golden flames surged in Su Chen's palm, continuously condensing and melting the medicinal herbs.
Su Chen was concentrating on refining the Strong Cultivation Pill.
Refining Heaven Stage Medicinal Pills consumed a lot of medicinal herbs. Relying on the medicinal herbs in Huang Zhan's hands, he could at most refine two Strong Cultivation Pills.
He had to think of a way to get more medicinal herbs.
After refining the two powerful cultivation pills, Su Chen immediately began his closed-door cultivation.
For a full twenty hours, Su Chen sat cross-legged in meditation. A massive amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi continuously flowed into his body, passing through his meridians and capillaries to deliver Yuan Qi to every cell in his body, nourishing his body and strengthening his strength.
'Ding … congratulations to host for breaking through to Profound Realm Level Seven.'
'Ding … congratulations to host for breaking through to Profound Realm Level Eight.'
'Ding … congratulations to host for breaking through to Profound Realm Level Nine.'
When night fell, Su Chen slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and stretched his stiff muscles.
Twenty hours was equivalent to twenty hours. Su Chen was quite satisfied to have risen three levels in less than a day.
Unfortunately, he had used up all the Strong Cultivation Pills. If he continued to cultivate, the efficiency would only be 1%.
Just like how he was used to flying, Su Chen would definitely not be willing to take a green train again.
"Huang Zhan."
At Su Chen's command, Huang Zhan, who was resting, rushed over in his pajamas.
"Master, what are your orders?"
"I need a large amount of Purple Crystal Mystic Yellow Grass, Rainbow Spirit Coral, Black Gold Arhat Fruit, and Thousand Year Snow Lotus. Do you know where I can get them?" Su Chen asked.
These four types of medicinal herbs were the main ingredients for refining the powerful Cultivation Pill.
Huang Zhan smiled bitterly and said, "Master, the four herbs you mentioned are all top grade herbs. They only grow in places with rich Origin Qi. The original stock in my Danqing Palace was brought back from the Medicine Master Island in the West Sea. It's very difficult to find them in Nanjiang."
Su Chen frowned. This was difficult. Without herbs, it would be difficult to progress on the path of cultivation.
"Oh right, Master, maybe there's a place where I can get these herbs." Huang Zhan suddenly said.
"Where is it?"
"Shennong Province, Valley of the Apothecaries."
Su Chen thought for a moment, then remembered where Shennong Province was.
Nanjiang was vast and there were dozens of countries of various sizes. According to national strength, they were roughly divided into three tiers.
Chu State was now the most powerful country and firmly occupied the throne of the first tier.
However, the great countries in the second tier weren't ordinary people either. Apart from the Chidragon Nation, which had just ascended the throne, and its internal situation wasn't stable yet, the Qin Nation and the Zhao Nation were also great countries with great power and military power.
If Chu State were to fight with one of these countries, it would be able to win. However, if it were to fight with these two countries at the same time, it would probably only have a 50% chance of winning.
Below Qin State, Zhao State, and Long Province, there were many small countries in the third tier and fourth tier. Shennong Province was the most famous of these small countries.
The population of this country was very small, only about two million. However, because it was backed by the mountains of Nanjiang, it was rich in natural resources and rich in medicinal materials. It almost controlled the entire market of low-end medicinal materials and elixirs in Nanjiang. Relying on the business of medicinal materials and elixirs, Shennong Province made a lot of money.
Several big countries, including Chu State, were eyeing Shennong Province covetously. They coveted the rich natural resources and huge wealth there. However, Shennong Province was able to maintain its stability despite being surrounded by so many big countries. It was obvious that it had some tricks up its sleeve.
The Valley of the Apothecaries was Shennong Province's biggest reliance.
"Although there are no orthodox cultivation sects in Nanjiang, there are a group of scattered forces that took refuge from the cultivation world. The Valley of the Apothecaries is one of them. Three hundred years ago, when the Valley of the Apothecaries was established, Tanaka was a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage from Medicine Master Island. Speaking of which, he was my senior brother. Although Tanaka died not long after, he left behind his legacy. The Valley of the Apothecaries has relied on this legacy to stand strong until now."
Su Chen was suddenly interested and said, "Tell me more about the Valley of the Apothecaries."
Huang Zhan immediately told Su Chen everything he knew.
Although the Valley of the Apothecaries was no longer as strong as it was when it was established, it had developed for three hundred years. Its power was extremely huge. In other countries, the imperial power was in charge, but in Shennong Province, the Valley of the Apothecaries was the real ruler. The imperial family was just a puppet supported by the Valley of the Apothecaries. Only the Valley of the Apothecaries could make decisions on national affairs.
The Valley of Alchemists now had three heaven realm experts overseeing it, and as many as five master alchemists.
"Are there any Master Alchemists?" Su Chen asked.
Huang Zhan shook his head and said, "A hundred years ago, there was a Master Alchemist, but the small Nanjiang couldn't keep him. Not long after he broke through the Master Alchemist level, he left Nanjiang and went overseas to explore. He hasn't returned yet. Master, you are now the only Master Alchemist in Nanjiang. With your strength, if you go to the Valley of the Apothecaries, you will definitely be unstoppable."
Su Chen was amused. He didn't expect this old guy to have the potential to be a bootlicker.
