My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 670 Mid-stage of the Ninth Level
Without any choice,

Shen Changchuan could only put aside the matter of dealing with the spoils of war for the time being.

Either way,

I currently have 20,000 spirit stones on hand.

It's estimated that it won't be used up in a short period of time.
There was no urgent need to sell the spoils to recoup two thousand high-grade spirit stones.

We can look at these things later.

Not long after that,

He then needed to go to the Jade Purity Immortal Sect to participate in its internal competition.

Perhaps at that time we can sell these spoils near the Immortal Sect.

My mind is made up.

Shen Changchuan then gathered all the items into Zhou Lingfeng's storage bracelet, put them away safely, and temporarily put them out of his mind.

After finishing the miscellaneous tasks,

Shen Changchuan also turned his attention back to what was in front of him.

He sent a message to Senior Sister Wei, asking her to inform him when Master returned.

Then he entered a period of seclusion for cultivation.

Speaking of,
After the battle between Tiannan City and Zhou Lingfeng
His cultivation was beginning to stir again, showing signs of progress, especially with the large amount of high-grade spirit stones he had acquired.
This made Shen Changchuan also have an idea.
Having stayed at the early stage of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm for so long

It's time to break through!
then,

Shen Changchuan did not hesitate at all.

He sat cross-legged on the futon, holding a top-grade spirit stone in each hand, which was crystallized with extremely rich spiritual energy, and began to cultivate.

A superior-grade spirit stone truly lives up to its name.
The spiritual energy within was so pure that Shen Changchuan only needed to slightly activate it to allow it to flow into every part of his body's meridians like a tsunami!

In other words, Shen Changchuan had the Golden Wind Jade Dew Gu on his spine to help digest this massive amount of pure spiritual energy.

Otherwise, it will cause some hidden damage to one's own body's meridians and other systems.

Speaking of,
High-grade spirit stones are generally used by cultivators at or above the Divine Ascension Realm for cultivation.

With their physical strength, absorbing this spiritual energy is naturally no problem for them, and it will not cause any damage.

Even those in the Nascent Soul stage below the Divine Travel stage, who might be lucky enough to obtain one or two pieces, would primarily use them when breaking through bottlenecks, and wouldn't need to worry about any hidden injuries.
After all, breaking through a realm requires relying on powerful magic to strengthen one's dantian meridians and enhance one's magical power foundation.

As for internal injuries, they can gradually heal as one's cultivation level increases.

Only Shen Changchuan,
At the mere ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, he was able to freely use so many high-grade spirit stones.

So much so that it is used in daily cultivation.

That's why this situation has occurred.

But thankfully,
This was not a problem for Shen Changchuan, who already had a strong foundation and was aided by the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Gu.

in contrast,

A vast and pure spiritual energy surged in.

This allowed Shen Changchuan to quickly refine it into magical power, gradually strengthening his own cultivation.

Shen Changchuan's aura

It is also gradually improving at a slow but visible rate!

time flies,
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two months, Shen Changchuan has spent 160 high-grade spirit stones without any restraint!
This number, if it weren't for the fact that it were mentioned, would be enough to make any cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage gasp in astonishment.
Even Shen Changchuan felt a pang of heartache.

If he hadn't obtained more than 20,000 high-grade spirit stones in one fell swoop, he probably wouldn't have dared to "waste" them like that!
Correct,
What a waste!

Even cultivators at the Divine Travel Realm usually rest for a few days after refining one high-grade spirit stone, only starting to refine the next one after fully absorbing the benefits of that stone.

Unlike Shen Changchuan, who almost uses up the spiritual energy of a high-grade spirit stone and then immediately starts using the next one.

Much of the spiritual energy was wasted and dissipated.

Only because he had over 20,000 high-grade spirit stones did he not care about such "waste".

However, Shen Changchuan naturally had his own reasons. There was nothing he could do.
He seemed to have underestimated the bottleneck of the early stage of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm.

Or,

After his battle with Zhou Lingfeng, he gained some insights, but the bottleneck in his cultivation level only loosened slightly, rather than truly breaking through it.

Therefore,
To truly break through this bottleneck,
It took Shen Changchuan a lot of effort.

These hundred-plus high-grade spirit stones were also spent here.

but,

In Shen Changchuan's view, all of this was worthwhile!
Because at this moment, he

His aura had clearly reached the mid-stage of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm!
Yes,

After spending over a hundred high-grade spirit stones,
Shen Changchuan successfully broke through the bottleneck and raised his cultivation to the mid-stage of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm!

"It's really not easy!"

Inside the secluded chamber,

Shen Changchuan, who was sitting cross-legged on a white jade futon, opened his eyes. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, like a tangible blade that ripped through the void, extremely sharp.

The surrounding void seemed to be filled with some kind of invisible needles at this moment.

This is a scene of spiritual energy overflowing as one's cultivation level breaks through!

This demonstrates Shen Changchuan's exceptional spiritual cultivation.

Only at this time,
Feeling the magical power within his body, which had surged by at least several tens of percent compared to before, and had also become more condensed,

Overjoyed, Shen Changchuan
A touch of melancholy inevitably arose within me.

This breakthrough,

It is indeed quite difficult.

It takes 160 high-grade spirit stones to achieve such an improvement.

Compared to before,
The consumption has increased dramatically!

This is because advancing to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm is extremely difficult.
Or is it because my cultivation level improved too quickly in the past, resulting in an unstable foundation and thus affecting the efficiency of my breakthrough?
Or perhaps it's a combination of both?
Shen Changchuan seemed to be deep in thought.

However, he quickly put it out of his mind.

It doesn’t matter really.

Anyway, the internal competition will begin soon. If I achieve a good ranking, the Immortal Sect has a place where I can directly boost my cultivation level as a reward.
Just like the opportunity I had when I entered the Spirit Transformation Pool.

In addition, he still had more than 20,000 high-grade spirit stones on hand.

matters of cultivation,

There's no need to worry about it for now.

Calm your mind,

Shen Changchuan began to consolidate and refine his cultivation level, which he had just broken through to.

However, it didn't take more than a few days.
He then ended his seclusion and left the closed-door retreat room.

because,

Senior Sister Wei sent a message talisman to inform Shen Changchuan that Master had returned.

Since he was unsure whether his master would stay for a long time or a very long time, and since he already had some questions to ask, Shen Changchuan naturally set off immediately to pay his respects.

"I've met the master!"

It didn't take much effort for Shen Changchuan to meet his master, You Longzi.

However, upon seeing the other party's situation,
Shen Changchuan couldn't help but hesitate.

"Master, are you alright?"

At this moment, You Longzi was sitting in the head chair, his lips were a little pale and his breathing was a little disordered.

Is he injured?
What happened?
