Chapter 245 - Perfecting the Spiritual Transformation

"I saw it myself."

Chen An nodded and calmly spoke.

If he could, he would rather not have seen what happened just now.

But unfortunately, he had just walked out of Qi Rou's room, and even if he wanted to deny it, he couldn't.

It was just unavoidable.

Since he couldn't deny it, he could only admit it.

"The young lady's problem has been going on for several years."

Lin Qiu sighed and said, "This is not just a case of being possessed by fire, the reasons behind it are quite complicated."

Since it's quite complicated, why continue talking about it?

Chen An silently complained in his heart.

He was well aware that in this world, there was a kind of death called knowing too much.

Sometimes, knowing too much might not be a good thing.

Who knows what pitfalls are waiting for you ahead.

"As the years go by, the young lady's condition is getting worse."

Lin Qiu sighed and said, "At this rate, in at most ten years, the young lady may not be able to hold on."

"And the only way to help her is through the Heaven Origin Pill."

"I'm saying this, do you understand, Master Chen?"

With that said, he paused, looked at Chen An, and the meaning in his words couldn't be clearer.

What? So there's still ten years left!

To Lin Qiu's surprise, Chen An was somewhat pleasantly surprised by these words.

That's the difference in perception.

Lin Qiu's words were originally a threat, intending to urge Chen An to speed up the completion of the Heaven Origin Pill.

After all, Qi Rou could only last for ten years at most. If the Heaven Origin Pill wasn't ready by then, Chen An would be practically useless.

His fate at that time didn't need to be said, it was basically death.

But for Chen An, ten years was a big surprise.

He had thought that he only had a year or two left at most, and Lin Qiu and the others might start making a move on him.

Never did he expect to have ten years.

That was great.

In ten years, how much wool could he shear, how many tricks could he do?

This was the result of different perceptions.

For traditional cultivators like Lin Qiu, ten years was just a blink of an eye, and they couldn't do much during that time.

At their level, sometimes just a casual seclusion could last for decades.

Ten years was just a blink of an eye.

But for Chen An, it was quite different.

Ten years.

As long as there was enough source power, do you believe you could start anew in just one day?

Thinking of this, Chen An suddenly felt good.

Of course, no matter how he felt inside, on the surface, his face remained calm as he simply said, "I understand."

"Master Chen is different from ordinary people, Miss and I have always trusted you."

Seeing Chen An's reaction, Lin Qiu also nodded, then continued, "By the way, there's some news related to Changyue Sect, I don't know if Master Chen is interested?"

"Speak?"

Chen An frowned and had a bad feeling.

"About half a year ago, a spiritual vein emerged in the Southern Region, right between Changyue Sect and Lingqiu Sect."

Lin Qiu said, "After that, to fight for this spiritual vein, Changyue and Lingqiu Sects fought each other."

"And it has been half a year already."

"Lingqiu Sect."

Chen An furrowed his brow, pondering over this news.

Lingqiu Sect was a nearby immortal sect to Changyue Sect, and both were powerful forces.

However, in Chen An's impression, the relationship between Changyue Sect and Lingqiu Sect seemed to be good.

Never did he expect that in just a year, the relationship between the two major sects had changed so dramatically.

Thinking about it carefully, he could understand.

After all, immortal sects competed with each other.

When there was nothing to fight over, everyone got along just fine.

But now, with the emergence of the spiritual vein, their past relationship didn't mean much.

Fighting each other was just a normal thing.

Chen An found it reasonable.

"I understand."

He nodded to show that he understood.

This calm attitude surprised Lin Qiu.

"Aren't you concerned about the current situation of Changyue Sect?" he couldn't help but ask.

Chen An smiled, "I am more clear about the strength of Changyue Sect than you, Mr. Lin."

"Even if the two sects have some conflicts, they are far apart, and it's unlikely that any major incidents will happen soon. At most, there may be some friction, but it won't cause serious harm."

Changyue Sect had tens of thousands of cultivators.

With such a large number, they possessed extremely powerful strength.

In front of Changyue Sect, sects in the Dust Realm like Haoshan Sect could only serve them.

With such a powerful force, it brought at least one advantage - it would not easily perish.

After all, with such a large family business, even if they wanted to fail, it wouldn't be that easy.

Even though Lingqiu Sect was powerful, it wasn't to the point where it could destroy Changyue Sect.

So there was no need to worry.

"That makes sense."

Lin Qiu nodded in agreement with Chen An.

"But."

Standing still, he looked at Chen An and said meaningfully, "Sometimes, the crisis is only on the surface."

"If we wait until the end, what will happen, that's uncertain."

With that said, before Chen An could ask, he walked away.

Chen An stood there, frowning as he watched Lin Qiu leave.

For some reason, he felt that there was more to Lin Qiu's words, as if he knew something.

Perhaps there were some insider information about Changyue Sect that Chen An was unaware of.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen An decided to let it go.

There wasn't much of a choice anyway.

He was stuck here, and even if he knew the news, what could he do?

Moreover, with Changyue Sect's power, if anything happened that affected the entire sect, even if Chen An went back, it would be a death sentence.

He was destined to be powerless.

So no matter how much he thought about it, it was meaningless.

Chen An packed up his things and then looked into the distance.

Time slowly passed by.

After meeting Qi Rou that day, Chen An's days returned to normal.

For Chen An, these were the most familiar days.

On a daily basis, the materials he needed were constantly being sent to him, including the materials needed to refine the Heaven Origin Pill.

Not to mention, the ability to collect these materials was quite impressive, which surprised Chen An.

The Heaven Origin Pill was a highly advanced pill with outstanding effects.

Great effects meant that the materials needed for it were equally precious and terrifying.

For example, one of the ingredients called the Golden Dragon Tree was already extinct in the Elemental Realm. Only a few were said to survive in the Pill Tower, obtained from some ruins.

But even with such rare ingredients, Qi Rou and the others managed to get their hands on them.

Of course, only a small amount.

As for other materials, like the Earth Crystal, they were relatively easier to find.

The collection of these materials to assist Chen An in completing the Heaven Origin Pill was a task that required a lot of effort.

Over the past few years, the number of Earth Crystals sent to Chen An's place was quite substantial.

If there was something that pleased Chen An about this place, it was probably this.

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, another two years had passed.

On this day, Chen An sat in his room.

An invisible wave spread out from him, but was quickly suppressed.

"Is it already at this stage?"

Opening the alchemy furnace in front of him, Chen An took out the pill inside and quietly stood up, feeling somewhat surprised. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NʘvᴇlFirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

He felt something unusual in his body.

Unknowingly, his spiritual power had undergone a transformation, reaching a new level.

In other words, Chen An was now only a step away from the Golden Core level.

If outsiders knew about his progress, they would be shocked.

But Chen An was not surprised.

After all, the past few years had been unimaginable for others.

While helping Qi Rou and others refining pills, Chen An was also constantly taking advantage of the materials here to refine pills.

In the past two or three years, Chen An had almost been taking pills every day, with the Jinlian Pill for increasing his cultivation almost becoming a regular item.

By conservative estimates, Chen An had eaten at least a hundred top-quality Jinlian Pills in these two years.

With hundreds of top-quality Jinlian Pills ingested, even if Chen An didn't have time to practice, his cultivation would be forcibly pushed up by the rich medicinal power, reaching the perfect level.

This was what they called pill addiction.

In fact, it proved that cultivation was not only about aptitude and hard work, but also about spending money and playing games.

Although Chen An hadn't been cheating much in the past two years, he had been spending money consistently.

However, while it was easy to improve his cultivation, controlling it was not so simple.

Using the God power at the Master level to control the spiritual power, assisted by the Violet Palace suppressing the Purple Mansion, he barely managed to control his aura and prevent it from leaking out.

Otherwise, as soon as he completed the breakthrough in front of him, Lin Qiu and Qi Rou would know about it.

"It's time."

Chen An looked at the source power column in front of him.

Compared to two years ago, the number on top had changed again, with a balance of up to eight thousand source power.
