In the quiet training room, a slender figure sits cross-legged on a stone platform.
Golden patterns coil and spiral around the body, and strands of spiritual energy flow into the body of the young man seated on the stone platform.
This figure naturally belongs to Luo Chen.
Now, he has been in seclusion for ten days, and the surging spiritual power in his body has reached an extreme.
Gathering Yuan Realm is the most initial realm of cultivation, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one's own body. With each breakthrough, the spiritual energy within the body will surge.
Now, Luo Chen feels that after taking the 'Mysterious Spirit Pill', the depth of his own spiritual power has once again increased by a level.
According to his previous thoughts, his own spiritual power had already reached the peak of the Gathering Source Realm, but the Mysterious Spirit Pill had elevated that peak even further.
As for the origin of this pill, Luo Chen was also at a loss. He had just joined Jiu Xuan and hardly knew anyone, so this sudden gift left him somewhat bewildered. After all, such a precious pill must have been given to him by someone of high status.
Bang~
At a certain moment, it seemed as if Luo Chen's body emitted a faint sound, and then the surging spiritual power around Luo Chen receded like a tide, until finally, it returned to calm.
After a while, the tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and the light purple eyes were filled with vigor.
He slowly reached out his hand, feeling the surging spiritual power in his body, and a hint of a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth.
Fifth Layer of Gathering Essence Realm!
Luo Chen nodded in satisfaction. He felt that the strength of his spiritual power was several times greater than before his breakthrough.
"With my current strength, I should be able to rival the high-level Gathering Yuan Realm."
Luo Chen murmured, then stood up and picked up the spirit tablet that had been placed in the recess earlier.
When the spirit tablet leaves the groove, the rotating golden patterns gradually disperse.
As the golden patterns disperse, the concentration of spiritual power in the training room slowly decreases, returning to the level when Luo Chen first entered. Obviously, the formation has stopped.
Luo Chen looked at the spirit tablet in his hand. This time, he had spent ten days in seclusion and consumed one hundred mysterious crystals, which made him feel a bit distressed.
If it weren't for having obtained some from Xiao Yun, he probably wouldn't have been able to break through to the Fifth Layer.
"It looks like I need to find a way to get some mysterious crystal," Luo Chen murmured.
Sure enough, in life, mysterious crystal is not all-powerful, but without mysterious crystal, it is absolutely impossible. The principle of more is better, he still understands.
Luo Chen stopped overthinking, stood up and brushed off the dust from his body, then left the training room.
After leaving the Cultivation Pavilion, Luo Chen went straight back to his residence.
As Luo Chen was about to reach his bamboo house, he saw three figures slowly approaching from the other side, standing at his doorstep.
"How did you all come?"
Among the three people, two men and one woman, naturally were the three of them, Qin Yue.
"Boss, where have you been these days? You haven't come out to drink with your brothers for so long."
"Uh... " Luo Chen had black lines all over his face, apparently being the boss means I have to drink with you every day.
"I went to the Cultivation Pavilion these past few days."
"You... you broke through?!" Qin Yue asked, somewhat disbelieving.
"Mmm." Luo Chen made a soft sound of agreement and nodded with a smile.
"Phew~" Upon hearing the news of Luo Chen's breakthrough once again, the three couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
What kind of talent is this? It's too extraordinary.
Looking at the three shocked people, Luo Chen also scratched his head in embarrassment.
"You don't have to look at me like that."
For a long time, the three of them finally calmed down from this shock. However, their gaze at Luo Chen was like looking at a monster, leaving Luo Chen speechless.
"You guys coming to find me, it's not just to drink with me, right?" Luo Chen quickly changed the subject.
Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, the three of them exchanged smiles.
"We've come to invite you to participate in this year's 'Hunting Competition.'"
"'Hunting Competition'? What's that?" Luo Chen asked curiously.
"Hunting Competition, as the name suggests, is a competition related to hunt."
"It takes place on the outskirts of Beast Ridge, and participants need to hunt and kill monsters to obtain the monsters' demon spirit."
"In the end, whoever possesses the most powerful demon spirit will be the champion. The champion of each session will receive a reward from the sect."
"Hunt and kill the monsters!" Luo Chen was slightly shocked.
Going to Beast Ridge to hunt monsters is a very Dangerous thing. It's not within the sect, and the monsters there don't care about human life. There aren't many sect rules in Beast Ridge either.
"Yes, that's right," Han Qing nodded.
"This is a test for the disciples of sect, and it is a grand event within sect."
"Mm," Luo Chen responded with a light hum.
Let the disciples practice within the sect without Danger all the time. Although the disciples' lives are not in danger, they cannot cultivate the sharpness needed for a life-and-death battle.
sect obviously also considers this point, so they hold a 'Hunting Competition' every year to temper the disciples' courage.
"Although there is danger in Beast Ridge, there are also many opportunities, such as the demon spirit of the beasts, various spiritual medicines, and the final rewards from the sect," Qin Yue added.
Clearly, crisis and opportunity coexist.
"It is said that the champion of the last Hunting Competition was rewarded with a spiritual weapon!"
"Spiritual weapon!" Upon hearing the term, Luo Chen couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Spiritual weapon, is used for combat, but what sets it apart is that it can be activated with the spiritual power of a cultivator, enhancing the strength of the wielder.
The price of a spiritual weapon can be very expensive. I once saw the sword in the hands of Han Qing, although it was extremely sharp, it was far from reaching the level of a spiritual weapon.
Looking at Luo Chen's slightly shining purple eyes, Qin Yue spoke.
"How about it, are you moved?"
"Hehe." Luo Chen licked his lips.
Indeed, not being moved is fake.
"What time then?"
"One month later"
"Okay."
Upon hearing Luo Chen's agreement, the three of them smiled again.
With Luo Chen's help, this Hunting Competition will undoubtedly be much safer.
Afterwards, the three of them chatted for a while and then Qin Yue and the others left.
After seeing off Qin Yue and the other two, Luo Chen walked straight into his own courtyard. Just as he pushed open his door, his body suddenly stiffened.
"Who's there!?"
"Hehe, the little kid has such keen alertness," a voice came from the flowing water behind the courtyard of Luo Chen.
Luo Chen looked over vigilantly, where a figure stood with hands behind their back, facing away from Luo Chen.
The figure was dressed in a blue Daoist robe, with a middle-aged appearance, simply standing there, exuding a majestic aura.
"Who are you?" Luo Chen asked alertly. It was terrifying that this person could appear in his courtyard without anyone noticing.
"Don't be nervous." The figure didn't turn around, still facing away from Luo Chen, and said, "Is the 'Mysterious Spirit Pill' I gave you working well?"
Only to hear that figure spit out another sentence, causing Luo Chen's eyes to suddenly shrink.
"So the 'Mysterious Spirit Pill' was given by the senior."
Luo Chen Slightly cupping his hands, he didn't expect that the person in front of him would give him the elixir.
"Okay," the middle-aged figure nodded slowly.
"Since the senior has given me the elixir, I assume there is something that requires Luo Chen's assistance."
There are no free banquets in the world. Since he has given me the elixir, it seems that he needs my help.
