System crash? I prove it with my control panel!

Chen Wen picked up the jade identity token, glanced at it, and immediately showed a hint of joy.

It was a message from Zhai Ji.

He said that a snow eagle would lay an egg three months later, and he could keep one for himself.

Chen Wen immediately replied with thanks.

Snowwing eagles can grow into second-grade superior eagles, and with careful feeding, it is not impossible for them to reach second-grade supreme eagle.

Once it reaches adulthood, its wingspan can reach several meters, and it flies extremely fast.

Moreover, it is one of the few ice-type spirit birds, whose innate supernatural power is blizzard freezing, an excellent control-type supernatural power, and is extremely rare.

If it weren't for my connections in the Beast Hall, I wouldn't have had a chance to get such a spirit bird.

With the matter of the spirit bird temporarily resolved, Chen Wen felt relieved and went to the secret chamber to begin his cultivation.

Although the Qingmu Rongyuan Technique has now been partially mastered.

However, it is still not as good as the fully mastered Azure Nether Qi-Gathering Technique in terms of absorbing spiritual energy.

Therefore, he mainly cultivated using the Azure Nether Qi Guiding Technique, which was then transformed into Azure Wood Magic Power.

This speed is almost twice as fast as simply using the Qingmu Rongyuan Technique for cultivation.

Of course, not everyone can practice in this way.

After all, not everyone can master the Azure Nether Qi Guiding Technique.

Moreover, the magical power cultivated by the Azure Nether Qi Guiding Technique is extremely pure, comparable to the Azure Wood Glory Yuan Technique, and its characteristic is that it is compatible with other techniques and can be converted without loss.

Chen Wencai was able to cultivate himself through this method.

Even if he eventually mastered the Azure Wood Glory Technique, Chen Wen did not intend to abandon the Azure Nether Qi Guiding Technique. Since it was on the panel, he had to perfect it.

Even the Taotie Transformation is the same.

He just couldn't find a suitable opportunity to cultivate.

He feared that once he unleashed it, the demonic energy would be overwhelming and alarm the surrounding area.

As the moon rose above the treetops, having finished his cultivation, he did not open his eyes, but a rich life force gradually emanated from his body.

In his cave dwelling, besides medicinal herbs, he also specially planted some spiritual bamboo, which was specifically used to help him cultivate.

He inhaled the essence of plants and trees through his nostrils, refining it into his magical power and nourishing himself in his dantian.

His face grew increasingly rosy.

Until the moon was high in the sky.

As if an alarm clock had been set, the Xuanhuang Refining Heart Technique began to operate wildly on its own, crushing all of Chen Polang's memories transmitted from his Niwan point.

Chen Wen also finished his cultivation at this moment, opened his eyes, and a sharp glint flashed across them.

But it was quickly replaced by peace.

This is one of the reasons why he was unwilling to give up the Azure Nether Qi Guiding Technique.

With a single turn of the technique, one can conceal the life force within their entire being.

Otherwise, if I went out like this, I would be like a firefly in the night, too conspicuous.

He did not stop, but went to a table and took out a jade pen from his storage bag. This jade pen was the same one that the Chen family had given him in the storage bag.

Chen Wen had already refined it and knew that this brush was called Qinghao, a first-grade high-quality magic weapon.

This brush is entirely blue, with fine lines on the handle, as if it had been struck by lightning.

Furthermore, a small character "雷" (thunder) is engraved at the end of the brush.

But I don't know why.

But Chen Wen didn't care; as long as it worked, that was fine.

Using this pen to create talismans is like divine assistance, making the process twice as effective with half the effort.

It can steadily infuse magical power into the talisman paper and has a calming effect.

It can be said that using this pen to create talismans increases the success rate by at least 30%.

The only thing that Chen Wen regretted was that this green hair could only be used to make talismans; it was extremely fragile and could not be used to fight enemies.

A first-grade superior magic artifact can only be used to make talismans; what an extravagant use!

Chen Wen couldn't help but curse Chen Polang under his breath for being such a spendthrift.

However, his hands did not stop moving as he took out talismans, jade, and spirit ink and arranged them neatly.

Close your eyes and concentrate.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and began to write.

Thanks to his masterful calligraphy, his brushstrokes are like dragons soaring through the air, vigorous and powerful, completed in one go.

His inner magical power surged forth, flowing from the tip of the green brush onto the talisman paper.

Before long, a light sheen of sweat appeared on his forehead. He finally put down his pen, looked at the talisman paper in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared on the talisman, and the surrounding spiritual energy gathered and was absorbed and sealed by the talisman.

Ultimately, it turned into a seemingly ordinary piece of paper.

Only when activated by spiritual power can its miraculous properties be revealed.

This is a first-tier, high-grade Chaos God Talisman.

Instead of rushing to retrieve the talisman, he sat cross-legged to restore his magical power.

After a while, Chen Wencai, having regained his magical power, stood up, took out the Chaos God Talisman, and placed it together with the nearly one hundred talismans in his storage bag.

He doesn't sell this talisman.

Since I don't have any means of attacking the soul, I can only accumulate more of these talismans.

He usually only sells first-grade high-quality wooden armor talismans, and he has dozens in stock.

It wasn't until dawn that the Xuanhuang Refining Heart Technique in Chen Wen's mind stopped operating.

He suddenly felt a sense of comfort and refreshment, and his spirits were even higher.

This is the feedback from a night of painstakingly working through my memories.

Although the amount of spiritual power that can be fed back each day is very small, it will accumulate over time.

Putting aside his desire to possess him, he was still very grateful to Chen Polang.

After all, without him, he wouldn't have any Earthly Fiend Qi. Look at powerful people like Qin Shuiru and He Yuzhu, they're still stuck in the Qi Refining stage.

Why don't they break through to the Foundation Establishment stage? Is it because they don't want to?

It's not that I want to solidify my foundation and find the right Heavenly and Earthly Qi for myself.

Foundation Establishment is a watershed moment, a dividing line between humans and cultivators.

Only with sufficient foundation can one go further and more steadily in the future.

A prompt appeared before my eyes.

[The First Level of the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Technique: Great Success (96/100)]

A smile played on his lips; it would be soon...

His dashboard allowed him to push himself to the limit at every step, enabling him to see where the finish line was and know where to focus his efforts.

This is probably one of the reasons why he has never encountered a bottleneck in breaking through realms.

When he broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, it was as natural as water flowing into a channel, without any hindrance.

However, I later learned that with a mid-grade spiritual root, there is a bottleneck after breaking through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

The day passed, and he had gained something, which put him in a good mood.

Step out of the secret room.

Ah Yi was still waiting at the door.

Upon hearing the sound, A-Yi immediately stopped his practice, stood up, and bowed respectfully. "Senior Brother Jingwen, is there anything you need?"

Chen Wen waved his hand and took out the pills and spirit rice he had obtained yesterday, saying:

"Take these items along with this year's mountain harvest to the Internal Affairs Hall for sale. You can take those bottles of pills. Oh, and that Earth Pig, distribute it to the servants in the mountains."

"Yes."

As always, A-Yi was respectful and efficient, holding the bottles of pills in his hand, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Oh right, I have three more here... It's alright."

Chen Wen had only spoken half a sentence when a look of panic flashed in his eyes. He felt a chill run down his spine and frantically activated the Xuanhuang Refining Heart Technique.

His gaze gradually became complicated.

He casually said to Ah Yi, "You can handle it yourself."

He then turned and left.

Although Ah Yi was puzzled, he obeyed the order and did not say anything more.

However, as Chen Wengang turned around and took a step, he used his spiritual sense to probe the situation inside the valley.

Suddenly, he noticed that the person behind him had already reached the third level of Qi Refining.

He raised an eyebrow, turned around, and asked seemingly casually:

"Ah-Yi, what's your qualification again?"

A-Yi paused for a moment, but still respectfully said, "Senior Brother Jingwen, I have a low-grade mixed spiritual root."

Chen Wen keenly noticed that A Yi's heartbeat quickened, but he subtly controlled it with his magic.

A sense of inquiry arose in his heart. He remembered that a year ago, A-Yi was still a useless person who had just entered the first level of Qi Refining.

Now, however, he has quietly broken through to the third level of Qi Refining.

This cultivation speed is already comparable to that of an ordinary outer disciple.

He patted Ah Yi on the shoulder and encouraged him:

"Not bad, with a little more effort, you might become an outer disciple."

A-Yi thought Chen Wen was testing him, so he quickly replied, "A-Yi only wants to serve by Senior Brother's side."

Chen Wen shook his head and chuckled:

"People strive for higher positions, just as water flows downhill. You can only be a menial disciple for a short time, not forever. Once you become an outer disciple, you can come to my mountain to help me manage affairs."

Upon hearing this, A-Yi realized that Chen Wen was not lying, and a feeling of gratitude welled up in her heart. She immediately knelt down.

"Thank you so much for your kind words, Senior Brother Jingwen. I will repay you handsomely in the future!"

"There's no need for that."

Chen Wen raised his hand and used a burst of spiritual energy to support it.

"If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me."

A-Yi tried to kneel down again, but the force pulling him down, though gentle, was unshakeable. He could only say emotionally, "Thank you, Senior Brother Jingwen!"

"Okay, go ahead."

Chen Wen nodded, then turned and went back into the secret room.

A-Yi was puzzled. Hadn't he just finished his seclusion? Why was he in seclusion again?

He had no say in his senior brother's affairs, so he composed himself, took out his identity jade token, and summoned servants to move the items.

...

Inside a sealed room.

Chen Wen's face was gloomy.

Now that he was not in front of anyone, he had no need to pretend anymore.

He slammed his hand on the table, and the stone-carved table instantly turned to dust.

"These damn chosen ones, they all think I'm a sucker!"

Chu Feng offended Bai Zhantang by asking for his help, but since Bai Zhantang was just a nobody, it was fine.

Zhai Ji suggested that he help them get into the top three, since he was going to win the championship anyway, so he tolerated it.

But this Ah Yi in front of me, I have been bewitched by him for a whole year.

Throughout the year, whenever he had free time, he would grab a handful of spirit stones and give them to A-Yi so he could buy some small items. He could keep the rest for himself or save them for later use, but he would give them to him again next time.

Occasionally, someone would visit and bring him pills, which he would casually use countless times.

I'm usually a greedy person, so when did I become so generous?

They're practically treating themselves like an ATM!

This is outrageous! I can't tolerate it any longer!

Even the slightest malicious thought that had just crossed his mind was immediately replaced by a wave of guilt. This child had been wandering alone in the Qingming Sect, enduring countless hardships. Let it go...

Then his gaze towards A-Yi softened, and he even promised that A-Yi could come to him for advice if he had any questions.

Thinking of this, he felt even more like cursing. Who isn't a child at heart?!

He even harbored murderous intent. Now, the moment he sees Ah Yi outside, he'll slap him to death, denying him any chance to bewitch him with his luck, and then devour him to strengthen his own body...

wrong!

Chen Wen's expression suddenly changed.

Immediately activate the Xuanhuang Refining Heart Technique.

"Distracting thoughts are the fuel..."

boom!

Black energy instantly appeared in his mind, and he was slammed down by the hammer formed from the Xuanhuang Refining Heart.

Countless evil thoughts were absorbed and refined.

Half an hour later, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze returning to its usual calm.

Chen Wen opened the panel and stared at the Xuanhuang Refining Heart Technique, which had reached a proficiency level of 96.

He knew that the reason he was able to sense A-Yi's strangeness and the strangeness of his thoughts just now was because his method had improved.

This also illustrates the dangers of the Gluttonous Blood Body Technique. Although it allows one to devour without limit to gain power, unrestrained improvement will inevitably lead to becoming a true Gluttonous Beast.

Don't think this is a good thing.

According to records, the Taotie was a ferocious beast with no intelligence, only knowing how to kill and devour everything.

Chen Wen firmly stated, "If gaining power requires transforming into a beast, then I'd rather not have it!"

This is an important point, and it is also the principle that Chen Wen has always adhered to;

Always maintain the attitude of being an individual.

However, the Xuanhuang Refining Heart Technique was ultimately not perfected. In the end, he was still misled by A-Yi's luck, which even gave Taotie's evil thoughts an opportunity to take advantage of him, almost causing him to lose his way.

Now that he's calmed down, Chen Wen has some guesses;

It seems that Ah Yi has recently encountered some kind of opportunity, but he is unable to learn the basics due to the lack of guidance, so his luck has turned to him.

Chen Wen still felt a lingering fear when he thought about his situation just now.

After giving him the pills, he even wanted to give A-Yi the cultivation techniques he had previously obtained from the Wang Shuchun family.

Although they are just a few ordinary cultivation techniques...

Chen Wen's expression suddenly turned strange as he recalled his earlier actions.

He hurriedly took out the animal hides from his storage bag.

He spread the animal hides out on the ground one by one.

These were all ordinary spells and techniques;

A first-tier, low-grade spell: Withered Leaf Palm.

A first-tier, low-grade spell: Withered Vine Binding.

First-tier, low-grade cultivation technique: Withered Wood Technique.

After some research, Chen Wen concluded that it was a very ordinary exercise.

However, if you encounter it, it will be a wood-based magic technique.

Moreover, these techniques are too extreme, so austere, so austere, that it's easy to make yourself feel austere.

The exercise clearly states that it is extremely harmful to the body and shortens lifespan.

But Chen Wen patiently continued his research.

Roasting, boiling, frying, freezing, sun-drying, etc.

His attempt to infuse spiritual power was futile.

But his expression grew increasingly serious.

He discovered that no matter what he did, he couldn't damage the animal hides in the slightest.

Could it be a family secret technique of the Wang family? Does it require bloodline to activate?

Chen Wenqi was lost in thought.

But he quickly rejected it.

Although he had no clue, he decided to fight this thing to the bitter end.

He plans to go into seclusion for a while.

I will not leave seclusion until the Xuanhuang Refining Heart Technique is perfected.

This is a good time to study this thing properly!

One day, two days, three days, proficiency +1...

Time passed day by day.

At first, it increased a little every three days, then a little every five days, then every eight days, then every ten days...

He was even just ten points away from breaking through in his cultivation level, and the same was true for his physical cultivation.

The Xuanhuang Refining Heart Technique is still not perfected.

This step was extremely difficult.

And those few pieces of animal hide still yielded no results.

But he was not discouraged and always maintained a calm mindset.

Although these days of slowly accumulating strength were uneventful, he found some enjoyment in them.

Every bit of progress is visible.

This made him feel at ease.

On this day, a month had passed since he went into seclusion.

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

I think I made a mistake!
