You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"Here you go, Brother Chen. With my best efforts, the spirit stones and body-refining pills you gave me can only be exchanged for six five-colored brocade eggs." Liu Qiaogui handed the six eggs to Chen Huai'an like a thief.

"Thank you so much. I just don't know if these eggs will hatch into chicks," Chen Huai'an said with a smile.

"I heard from the handyman disciples at the chicken farm that these eggs are all fertilized and can hatch into chicks. They can't guarantee whether the hatched chicks will be spirit birds or not. There is a certain chance that they will hatch into a five-colored golden pheasant, but most likely they will hatch into a five-colored chicken. However, if they are fed well, the five-colored chicken can evolve into a five-colored golden pheasant," Liu Qiaogui explained with a smile.

This result, within Chen Huai'an's acceptable range, means that even if he hatches a multicolored chicken, he can still raise a multicolored golden pheasant. The only difference is the amount of resources invested.

In the space, he planted a large amount of spirit grains, as well as spirit grain stalks and spirit grain husks, all of which can be used to feed the chicks. This is called resource integration.

As Chen Huai'an predicted, the eggs could indeed be stored in the spatial dimension.

Hatching chicks requires a mother hen, but as long as the temperature is suitable, the chicks can hatch.

To prepare this nest, Chen Huai'an put a lot of thought into it. He went up the mountain to find some dry grass that could keep the eggs warm, the kind that birds use to build their nests. He also found two pieces of rabbit skin to cover the eggs.

After doing all this, all that's left is to wait. Whether or not we can eat spirit bird eggs and spirit bird meat in the future depends on whether these few eggs will live up to his expectations.

After fiddling around in the space for a while, irrigating all the crops in the field with spiritual spring water, he cooked a pot of spiritual rice and ate it before starting his cultivation for the day.

Old Man Li said that Zhang Biao from the Zhang family was coming to cause him trouble. He pretended not to care, but it still put a lot of pressure on him. He took out a top-grade Qi-Nourishing Pill and swallowed it.

Then, Chen Huai'an began to circulate his cultivation technique to refine the medicinal power.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Chen Huai'an's body trembled violently, and then the bottleneck that had been holding him back for several days—the seventh level of the late stage of Body Refinement—was broken through.

"Is this the strength of the late stage of Body Refinement? Both my physical attributes and strength have more than doubled compared to before." Chen Huai'an felt his current state and couldn't help but sigh.

In less than a month and a half, he broke through to the seventh level of the late stage of Body Refinement. This cultivation speed, while not exactly heaven-defying, is still quite difficult.

With his body refining realm at the seventh level of the late stage, he was considered one of the more outstanding disciples among the miscellaneous disciples of the Qingyun Sect. On the Miscellaneous Disciples Peak, he was no longer an ant that could be easily manipulated by others.

Chen Huai'an could easily get into the top 500 of the Spirit Ranking with his eyes closed, and he could even try to get into the top 100.

Breaking through to the seventh level of the late stage of Body Refinement was like opening a door to a new world for him.

Why are those in the early stages of Body Refinement like ants in the later stages?

In terms of pure strength, the two are not even in the same league.

After the breakthrough, although the Peiyuan Pill had the medicinal power to strengthen his body and replenish his vital energy, Chen Huai'an still felt extremely weak and needed to replenish his qi and blood.

In the realm of body refinement, the competition boils down to the abundance of one's qi and blood. The higher the realm, the stronger one's power.

Body tempering is about refining your physical body; it just depends on which direction you want to develop in.

Chen Huai'an, on the other hand, takes the extreme route. He wants to forge his body into a perfect physique. He will refine every impurity in his meridians, fascia, and bones. Each refinement is a sublimation, and the energy and blood consumed are quite terrifying.

This is why Chen Huai'an wanted to take advantage of the spirit food.

Laying a solid foundation, especially in body refinement, will save you a lot of trouble when you reach the Qi Refining stage.

In Chen Huai'an's understanding, the first to ninth levels of body refinement are about tempering the body. Even when one reaches the Qi Refining realm, it is still about tempering the body. However, this tempering of the body no longer relies on pills to expel impurities, but rather on using the spiritual power of heaven and earth to cleanse the impurities in the body.

"It stinks. At the seventh level of Body Refinement, I can actually excrete so many impurities." After finishing his cultivation, Chen Huai'an discovered that his body had formed scabs. These grayish-brown impurities were the impurities excreted from his body after breaking through to the late stage of Body Refinement.

He took a bath with the spiritual spring water to wash away the impurities from his body, and then changed into a clean set of clothes.

He looked refreshed and energetic.

It feels so good to have this breakthrough.

Now that Chen Huai'an has made a breakthrough, there are still many things to deal with.

He wasn't required to do menial tasks like fetching water, but the number of menial tasks in the space was increasing, especially since he had acquired six eggs, which he wanted to hatch and raise properly.

Maybe when these chicks hatch, they can bring him a whole brood.

As for the meat of demon beasts, he was also very tempted, but without the strength, there were some things that even if you had spirit stones, you were not fortunate enough to enjoy.

Ultimately, Chen Huai'an is still a lone wolf. If he had powerful backers and supporters, he could focus on cultivation and wouldn't have to worry about these trivial matters.

Chen Huai'an's gaze was deep as he looked at the soon-to-be-ripened spirit valley in the space and murmured to himself, "Judging from this, should I cultivate some of my own forces, like those who run errands and handle favors, and then delegate those tasks to them? This way, I can avoid some of the risk of exposure. However, if I need to find people, I'll have to find trustworthy ones."

Human resources are ultimately limited; no matter how talented an individual is, it's not enough. However, it's a different story when you have a team.

However, Chen Huai'an has not yet found a suitable candidate, but this matter can be postponed until a suitable candidate is found and trained.

Among the many disciples who carried water, Liu Qiaogui was more to his liking. However, he dared not tell him that the things Liu Qiaogui brought out were just cultivation resources, which he didn't understand about this world. But as he learned more about this world, he realized that selling those resources at Wanbao Pavilion was a very dangerous thing.

At that time, he was only at the first level of the Body Refinement Realm, which is incomparable to his current level. The fact that he survived what he did back then is simply a miracle.

Spending over a thousand low-grade spirit stones a day is something even a menial disciple of the Qingyun Sect might not be able to accumulate in hundreds of years.

Even outer disciples rarely possess such a substantial fortune.

"Chen Huai'an, get out here right now!" Just as Chen Huai'an emerged from the spatial dimension, a loud shout rang out in the courtyard.

"Who, who's looking for me?" Chen Huai'an peeked out and saw a thin young man with a scar on his face.

"You're looking for me? I don't think I know you." Chen Huai'an frowned as he looked at the young man, who was also dressed in the clothes of a menial disciple.

Even the water-carrying disciples who were cultivating in the courtyard were disturbed. They all poked their heads out to see what was going on.

At that moment, Li Fugui carried a bucket of water to the backyard. When he saw the thin man, he only frowned slightly before his brows relaxed.

Zhang Biao acted much faster than he had anticipated. He was already looking for trouble with Chen Huai'an so quickly. However, he wasn't entirely sure how Zhang Biao would handle Chen Huai'an in front of so many people.
