Chapter 161

The Ling Long Pavilion was the largest market in Cangli City. It was several floors high and bustling with activity.

There were many cultivators coming and going here, and there were also many experts. Standing outside the Ling Long Pavilion for a short while, Zi Chen saw many Xiantian experts and True Energy experts.

If Zi Chen wanted to increase his strength, he could only come to the Ling Long Pavilion.

The first floor of the Ling Long Pavilion was filled with a dazzling array of goods. There were weapons, elixirs, and battle skills.

True Qi Pills and Qi Recovery Pills were everywhere, and their value was only a few Yuan Stone fragments.

Looking at so many True Qi Pills, Zi Chen was absent-minded. In the past, Zhao Can would not hesitate to harm him for a single True Qi Pill, which was not even worth a Yuan Stone fragment.

But here, almost no one cared about the True Qi Pills. When people arrived, they would only take a quick glance and then set foot on the second floor.

In just two years, Chen Feng had been trampled under his feet. And two years ago, in Zi Chen's heart, Chen Feng was an existence that he didn't even dare to think about. At that time, Chen Feng was already the future Sect Leader, while Zi Chen was still bitterly struggling for a single True Qi Dan.

Time was like a dream. For a moment, Zi Chen was absent-minded.

Retracting his emotions, Zi Chen stepped onto the second floor.

This floor was used by Xiantian experts. There were Xiantian Pills, Xiantian weapons, Xiantian Qi Recovery Pills, and many other things.

In a place that specialized in selling elixirs, Zi Chen saw a thousand year old elixir. But when he saw the price, even Zi Chen was stunned.

A hundred year old elixir was only worth a dozen Yuan Stone fragments. In Zi Chen's mind, a thousand year old elixir was worth at most one or two Yuan Stones. But at this moment, Zi Chen was somewhat absent-minded.

The cheapest one was actually ten Yuan Stones.

Moreover, it was just a thousand year old elixir.

"Why are thousand-year-old spirit medicines so much more expensive than hundred-year-old spirit medicines?" asked Zi Chen, puzzled.

Ling Long Pavilion was a big shop. It was said that they had branches in all seven major cities. They belonged to a special power, and the service staff here were also of high quality. Hearing Zi Chen's question, she concealed her disdain and said with a smile, "It's like the gap between the True Energy realm and the Xiantian realm. There is an insurmountable gap between the two."

"Under normal circumstances, an early stage Xiantian cultivator can easily defeat a True Qi Great Circle cultivator."

The staff smiled and explained, "Spirit medicines are also the same. The spiritual energy contained within a thousand year old spirit medicine is much purer. It is used to refine some Xiantian pills and even pills used by True Essence masters."

Zi Chen finally understood what was going on.

However, the other party's explanation didn't work in front of him. When Zi Chen was at the True Energy Realm, he had slapped a True Energy Realm powerhouse to death. Just now, he had killed a True Energy Realm powerhouse.

The thousand-year-old spirit medicines here were extremely well-preserved. They were all placed in jade boxes to prevent their spiritual energy from dissipating.

"Alright then, I'll take five of them," Zi Chen said after looking at them for a moment, picking and choosing again.

His constitution was special, and his cultivation technique was even more so. The majority of the energy was absorbed by his body. If he wanted to break through to the mid Xiantian realm, he would need to expend a lot of energy.

However, Zi Chen had hundreds of yuan stones. He could be said to be rich and overbearing. A mere fifty yuan stones was nothing.

Yuan stones were used by True Energy Realm powerhouses. They were very precious and were also the currency of the Martial Heaven Continent. Only True Energy Realm powerhouses could come into contact with them.

Zi Chen immediately bought fifty yuan stones. The staff had no choice but to look at him in a new light.

It had to be known that Chen Feng was a member of the Chen family. However, when he had seen Zi Chen's thousand-year-old spirit medicines at the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, he had snatched them instead of buying them.

"Are you an alchemist?"

Asked the staff curiously. Alchemists were a high level profession. They were extremely wealthy, but they were also very rare.

"No." Zi Chen shook his head.

"Then mister, you want so many thousand-year-old spirit medicines. Could it be that you want to refine them?" asked the staff with a smile.

Zi Chen nodded. There was no need to hide this.

"Then mister, I have to remind you that although these thousand-year-old spirit medicines contain a lot of spiritual energy, they're far inferior to these Qi Condensing Pills. These are all refined from thousand-year-old spirit medicines. They're easy to absorb and won't be wasted. It'll also make it easier for you to break through your bottleneck," explained the staff.

"No, I'm fine with this." Zi Chen shook his head.

Qi Condensing Pills were truly too expensive. Zi Chen couldn't afford them.

"Alright," said the staff. She had seen quite a few people like this.

In the end, Zi Chen paid a total of 15 primeval stones. There was no other way. A thousand-year-old spirit medicine cost 65 primeval stones. If it was a 6,655-year-old spirit medicine, it would cost 66 primeval stones, and so on.

A 6,055-year-old spirit medicine was half as expensive, a total of 85 primeval stones. This was because even a 6,055-year-old spirit medicine would undergo a qualitative change.

Zi Chen only bought a few spirit medicines that were 6,055 years old and below.

This time, Zi Chen didn't go to Fu Ji Inn. Instead, he found another inn. After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Zi Chen headed back to his residence.

If he wanted to break through, he had to first recover from his injuries.

This time, the injury was more serious. His entire shoulder was pierced. Although it had already formed a scar, it was a penetrating wound that would take a long time to heal.

Two days later, after consuming half a spirit medicine, Zi Chen's injury was completely healed. After that, Zi Chen stayed in his room to refine the spirit medicines.

Other than the fact that the spirit medicines were cheaper, Zi Chen, who had the mysterious heart, could completely refine them. This was also the main reason why Zi Chen could refine them directly.

A thousand-year-old spirit medicine contained extremely pure spirit energy. Zi Chen sat cross-legged and circulated the Heavenly Thunder Reshaping Technique. At the same time, with the help of the Supreme Secret Codex, his entire body was shining with golden light.

The spirit energy of the spirit medicine flowed through his meridians and entered his body. It first nourished his body, then rushed into Abdomen.

His physique was approaching perfection. His strength had also reached the peak of the early Xiantian realm. He could enter the middle Xiantian realm at any time.

The spirit medicines dissipated in front of Zi Chen. The spirit energy was perfectly refined by Zi Chen. When all five spirit medicines were refined, a powerful aura emerged from Zi Chen's body.

Golden light shone, as if he was wearing a layer of golden armor. With his strength increased, Zi Chen could feel a powerful battle prowess.

At this moment, he clenched his fists. He felt like he could shatter heaven and earth. Although it was just an illusion brought about by the increase in strength, it had to be said that Zi Chen's strength had increased again. He was powerful and terrifying.

His physique was close to perfection and was constantly growing. His battle prowess was indescribable. His strength had broken through, and his physique had strengthened again.

If he faced Chen Feng again, he would probably be able to defeat him with a single punch.

If he was besieged again, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state. True Energy Realm was a high and mighty existence. If he encountered them again, Zi Chen wouldn't be helpless.

After refining the five thousand-year-old spirit medicines, Zi Chen's strength had broken through again. However, the biggest transformation wasn't in his True Qi, but in his physique. With the supreme auxiliary secret manual, Zi Chen's physique had become tougher and stronger.

This was a kind of perfect physique. Among the five spirit medicines, at least four of them had been absorbed by his body. A middle Xiantian perfect physique had a demonic physique. Among those at the same level, Zi Chen was the strongest.

Within his Dantian, the silver Zhen Qi had completely transformed into a golden color. Streaks of golden light circled around him, and streaks of golden lightning flashed. At this moment, most of the golden Zhen Qi had already transformed into golden lightning.

Compared to the silver lightning from before, the golden lightning under the perfect physique was even more powerful.

After breaking through, Zi Chen was in a good mood. He walked out of his room. After more than ten days of seclusion, he was ready to go out for a breath of fresh air.

At this moment, he transformed into a black-robed youth and walked out of the inn.

Today, the sun was shining brightly. The golden sun shone down on his body, making him feel warm. Coming to the street, Zi Chen clearly felt that the atmosphere in Cangli City was different.

It seemed to be too lively.

"This is … Xiantian."

Zi Chen was startled. He glanced at several passers-by. From the fluctuations of their auras, he could feel the aura of Xiantian.

"Xiantian, it's still Xiantian."

Zi Chen was stunned. There were more than ten people in front of him, and more than half of them were Xiantian.

"When did Cangli City have so many Xiantian experts?"

Zi Chen was puzzled. He remembered that half a month ago, there weren't so many Xiantian experts. In just half a month, almost all of them were Xiantian experts.

"We must succeed in the trip to the ruins."

"Finally, we found a trial ground. The ruins are a place full of miracles and adventures."

A group of Xiantian experts came together. They were very excited when they talked about the ruins.

"Ruins, why do they all know about the ruins?"

Zi Chen was puzzled. Half a month ago, only a few people knew about the ruins. Others just thought it was a treasure hunt. But after he had been in seclusion for more than half a month, so many people knew about the ruins.

"What happened in the past half a month?"

Zi Chen was puzzled.

Zi Chen didn't know that a lot of things had happened in the past half a month.

Chen Feng of the Chen family, who fought with Martial Ancestor Ling Yun, was almost killed by a strange young man in the early stage of Xiantian. His reputation was ruined, and he was ridiculed.

Moreover, the Chen family was not convinced. They sent a True Energy Realm expert to kill the young man. Not only did they fail, but they also lost one of their men. This made the Chen family the laughing stock of Cangli City. Some families were waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.

They had heard that the young man's combat strength was comparable to a monster, and they also knew that the young man's name was Chen Zi.

For this reason, the Chen family sent out almost all the experts to find this monster genius, Chen Zi, but they couldn't find him. He seemed to have disappeared from the world. Some people guessed that he had left Cangli City.

At the same time, the experts of the three forces were also looking for Chen Zi. They were all trying to rope him in. For a time, Chen Zi's reputation spread in Cangli City.

He was even more famous than Zi Chen. Moreover, Zi Chen was a fallen genius, but Chen Zi was a living monster.

In addition, the news of the ruins was completely leaked. Many Xiantian experts gathered in Cangli City. The number was so huge that it was frightening. It was impossible for the three forces to monopolize it.

"Rumble …" "Rumble …"

Suddenly, the earth trembled as if thousands of horses were galloping. Dark figures came from afar.
