reax;
Blackwind Mountain Range, pitch-black underground.
After Fang Chen had fallen underground, he found himself in a very small space. However, the spiritual energy here was denser than outside.
"What is this place?"
Fang Chen looked around warily in this unfamiliar place.
Because it was too dark, Fang Chen could only see walls all around him. The entire space was empty.
Just as Fang Chen was thinking, the hole in the sky suddenly disappeared.
"What's going on?"
Fang Chen was puzzled.
Fang Chen wanted to understand this place as quickly as possible so that he could leave.
Fang Chen took out a fire starter from his interspatial ring. Then, he made a small flame. Instantly, the pitch-black space lit up.
At this time, Fang Chen found that this space was very small. There was a prayer mat at the very front.
"It seems that this space should be a place for cultivation. I wonder who has cultivated here before," Fang Chen said softly.
Fang Chen walked over to the prayer mat and examined it. He didn't find anything strange. Then he walked over to the four walls and carefully examined them.
A moment later, Fang Chen found four diagrams on the walls.
On the first wall, there was a line of small words. Below it was a diagram of a man holding a sword and cultivating a sword art.
"Golden Light Sword Art."
Fang Chen looked at the small words on the wall. The general content of the words was that the diagrams on the four walls were the four incomplete swords of the Golden Light Sword Art.
"The Golden Light Sword Art has a total of seven swords. The complete Golden Light Sword Art is comparable to a substandard cultivation technique. It is extremely powerful."
"Disciples of the Qingfeng Sword Sect who are fortunate enough to come here can cultivate the last four swords of the Golden Light Sword Art."
At the bottom of the diagram were the words Xie Tiannan.
"Xie Tiannan is the legendary disciple of the Qingfeng Sword Sect?" Fang Chen was shocked when he saw Xie Tiannan's name.
Xie Tian Nan was very inconspicuous when he was in the outer sect. However, Xie Tian Nan had displayed the Golden Light Sword Technique during a disciple competition. Moreover, it was only the third sword technique of the incomplete technique. Its power was extremely tyrannical.
Only then did all the disciples know that Xie Tian Nan had always been number one in the outer sect.
From then on, Xie Tian Nan entered the inner sect. One year later, Xie Tian Nan disappeared without a trace.
Xie Tiannan's disappearance shook the entire Qingfeng Sword Sect, but in the end, no one was able to find any clues.
"I didn't expect this to be Xie Tian Nan's training ground." Fang Chen said after a slight loss of voice.
Back then, Xie Tiannan was hailed as the hope of revitalizing the Qingfeng Sword Sect. He rose like a comet, but suddenly disappeared.
"How did Xie Tiannan obtain the last four swords of the Golden Light Sword Art?" Fang Chen was a little puzzled.
Since he could not figure it out, he decided not to think about it. With the last four moves of the Golden Light Sword Art, Fang Chen was extremely excited.
Fang Chen didn't waste any more time. He quickly memorized the last four swords of the Golden Light Sword Art.
An hour later, Fang Chen had memorized all four diagrams. A faint smile appeared on his face.
A perfect Golden Light Sword Art was comparable to a defective cultivation technique.
A defective cultivation technique was something only inner sect disciples were qualified to cultivate. It was said that its power was incomparably tyrannical.
"If I can cultivate the Golden Light Sword Art to perfection, then even in the inner sect, I won't need to fear anyone," said Fang Chen.
After accidentally entering Xie Tiannan's training ground and obtaining the last four swords of the Golden Light Sword Art, Fang Chen was extremely happy.
Once Fang Chen memorized all four diagrams, his gaze fell on the bottom right corner of the fourth wall.
"To be able to come to my training ground, you and I can be considered to have a bit of fate. At the bottom of this wall is a barrier breaking pill. Consider it a little gift for you."
Seeing this sentence, Fang Chen was extremely excited.
"A barrier breaking pill! Xie Tiannan actually left a barrier breaking pill!"
A barrier breaking pill was a common grade pill. It was very rare even in the Azure Edge Sword Sect. He didn't expect to find one here.
After a martial artist swallowed a barrier breaking pill, there was a fifty percent chance of successfully breaking through the bottleneck and advancing to the next stage.
Of course, the barrier breaking pill was very effective for martial artists below the fourth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm. However, for martial artists of a higher level, the effect was not as great. In fact, the chances of success were even lower.
"Let's look for it."
Fang Chen squatted down and began to search for the barrier breaking pill. Before long, he found a small box. Fang Chen opened the box.
Inside the box, there was a pitch-black pill lying quietly in the box.
On the Ancient Sword Continent, there were many alchemists who could refine extraordinary pills.
The most common were apprentices, followed by alchemists. Above alchemists were alchemists. Above alchemists were alchemists.
Apprentice alchemists were able to concoct ordinary pills. These pills weren't considered precious to the sect.
Alchemists were able to concoct Common Grade Pills, which were extremely precious. Alchemists were able to concoct Origin Grade Pills, which were priceless.
"I have already reached the peak of the second level of the Qi Cultivation Realm. If I take a barrier breaking pill, I have a chance of reaching the third level of the Qi Cultivation Realm," Fang Chen said.
Then, Fang Chen decided to take a barrier breaking pill.
Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Fang Chen swallowed the pill.
When the Bottleneck-breaking Pill entered his body, Fang Chen felt the effects of the Bottleneck-breaking Pill spreading to his limbs and bones.
"There's a constant flow of heat."
Fang Chen felt the heat flowing in his body. At the same time, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth entered Fang Chen's body, refining it.
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
When the effects of the pill were about to dissipate, Fang Chen still did not feel any signs of a breakthrough.
"Is there no way to break through?" Fang Chen thought to himself.
However, just as the last trace of the pill's effects was about to dissipate, the golden heart started beating rapidly again.
Thump, thump, thump.
The beating of the golden heart made Fang Chen feel a powerful aura emerge from the golden heart.
Crack.
Fang Chen's body absorbed the last trace of the pill's effects. His body was strengthened to a certain level, and a cracking sound could be heard.
In the next moment, Fang Chen opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.
"Third level of the Qi Cultivation Realm."
That's right. At the last moment, the beating of the golden heart helped Fang Chen successfully break through to the third level of the Qi Cultivation Realm.
"If I were to fight Liu Feng and Wen Yu right now, I could instantly kill them both," Fang Chen said with a sigh.
The difference between the third level and the second level of the Qi Cultivation Realm was huge.
After reaching the third level of the Qi Cultivation Realm, Fang Chen's strength was even stronger. At least, Fang Chen believed that there were very few disciples in the outer sect who could fight with him.
"Wen Zhengyun, Ye Lin, I will take back the humiliation you have given me," Fang Chen said coldly.
After Fang Chen broke through to the next level, he began to look for the exit.
Two hours later, Fang Chen appeared in a secluded area in the inner sect of the Green Edge Sword Sect.
"I'm finally out. I've gained a lot this time," Fang Chen said as he looked around at the towering ancient trees.
It had been almost a month since he arrived at the Black Wind Mountain Range. Fang Chen was ready to go back.
He had achieved his goal of training. He had found the Black Spirit Grass and even received a pleasant surprise.
In an independent courtyard in the outer sect of the Green Edge Sword Sect, a white-robed Wen Zhengyun sat quietly with a smile on his face.
Opposite him sat Ye Lin, who was dressed in red. Wen Zhengyun could not stop looking at her full breasts.
"Senior Brother Wen, why aren't Liu Feng and Wen Yu back yet?" Ye Lin asked.
"Junior Sister Ye, don't worry. Wen Yu and Liu Feng are both at the third level of the Qi Cultivation Realm. Killing Fang Chen would be a piece of cake for them. They must have gone out to train," Wen Zhengyun said confidently.
"I keep feeling uneasy. This Fang Chen seems to have changed into a different person," Ye Lin said.
"Hmph, trash will always be trash. There are only five days left until the outer sect disciple competition. When that time comes, it will be his death," Wen Zhengyun said sternly.
"Yes, I believe in Senior Brother Wen," Ye Lin said with a smile.
"Junior Sister Ye, does your sister know what you're doing?" Wen Zhengyun suddenly asked.
Wen Zhengyun liked Ye Lin and had been chasing after Ye Lin. Therefore, he knew a few things about Ye Lin.
The reason Ye Lin was targeting Fang Chen was because the Ye Clan was strongly against the marriage. Ye Lin wanted to kill Fang Chen and annul the marriage.
Hearing Wen Zhengyun's words, Ye Lin was stunned. She shook her head and did not say anything else.
"Junior Sister Ye."
"Senior Brother Wen, I'll go back first. You must let me know if there's any news." Ye Lin stopped Wen Zhengyun from asking any more questions. She stood up and left.
After Fang Chen left the Blackwind Mountain Range, he did not rush back to the Green Edge Sword Sect. Instead, he went directly to Qingfeng City.
Qingfeng City was where the Green Edge Sword Sect was located.
Qingfeng City was bustling with activity. It was a city in Cyan Cloud County.
The reason Fang Chen came here was to sell some corpses of demonic beasts.
After entering Qingfeng City, Fang Chen went to the Ancient Sword Chamber of Commerce's Qingfeng branch based on his memory.
The Ancient Sword Chamber of Commerce was a chamber of commerce that could be found all over the Ancient Sword Continent. There were branches in every city on the Ancient Sword Continent. No one knew the power behind the Ancient Sword Chamber of Commerce.
However, almost no cultivator dared to cause trouble at the Ancient Sword Chamber of Commerce.
After entering the Ancient Sword Chamber of Commerce, Fang Chen directly told the staff that he wanted to sell ten demonic beasts. Moreover, all of them were at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm.
This news alarmed a deacon elder of the Qingfeng branch.
After a while, the deacon elder brought Fang Chen to a VIP room.
The deacon elder sized up Fang Chen. After a long time, he said, "Young friend, I heard that you want to sell ten demonic beast corpses. Moreover, all of them are at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm."
"As long as the price is right."
"May I take a look at the goods first?" the deacon elder asked.
Crash!
Ten demonic beast corpses appeared in the room. The smell of blood filled the air.
