Chapter 217: Another Spirit Body, Breakthrough in Level
“Ding! Guan Zexiao has awakened a Five Elements Soul. The host will receive one supreme-grade spirit stone.”
As the system notification sounded, the auspicious light around Guan Zexiao faded out, and a crystal clear supreme-grade spirit stone appeared in Qin Chuan’s system space.
One supreme-grade spirit stone was equivalent to 10,000 points.
The reward this time was quite up to standard.
[Five Elements Soul: Able to cultivate techniques and spells of the five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, at the same time. Furthermore, the five elements can be fused at will.
[When the cultivation level of the Five Elements Soul is higher than the opponent, and the opponent’s attacks contain these five elements, he will have a certain degree of immunity, depending on the difference in cultivation level.
[The greater the difference in level, the greater the immunity.
[The smaller the difference, the weaker the immunity.]
After learning about the [Five Elements Soul], Qin Chuan couldn’t help but feel envious.
As expected of a reincarnator, the protagonist’s spotlight is indeed powerful. Still, compared to me, I seem to be stronger.
After Guan Zexiao awakened his Soul, he felt relaxed and full of energy.
The strange phenomenon attracted the attention of the Combat students who were cultivating in the training hall.
“Oh my god, someone has awakened a Soul!”
“I’m so envious!”
“If I had a Soul, I would definitely have reached Foundation Establishment.”
“Alright, everyone, don’t be jealous. Since other people have Souls, we’ll work harder. We won’t be any less.”
“That’s right. The Sect Master said that geniuses are made of 99% sweat and 1% talent.
“As long as we work a thousand times harder, we will not fare worse than those with Souls. ”
Instantly, everyone’s morale rose.
At this moment, someone asked weakly, “Then… then, if people with Souls are also very hardworking, the kind that cultivates a hundred or a thousand times harder? Can… can we still catch up?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire place fell silent, as if a bolt from the blue had struck them.
The rising morale withered.
In an instant, everyone’s eyes were fixed on that person.
Those gazes were extremely terrifying.
That person was startled.
“Just… just pretend that I didn’t say anything. I… I’m going to cultivate.”
Dong dong dong~
The man scurried away.
Behind the gates.
“Mr. Qin, my body…” Guan Zexiao looked at Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan said, “Just now, you underwent consecration at the gates. It helped you to awaken your spirit root.
“You’re not bad. You’ve awakened a rare Soul. If you don’t die in the future, you’ll definitely become an immortal cultivator with extraordinary powers.”
“Is that so?” Guan Zexiao’s eyes lit up with excitement.
“However, a Soul is not enough. I will bring you to cleanse your body now.” Qin Chuan spoke.
“Cleanse my body[1]?”
Guan Zexiao was so scared that he almost peed his pants.
“Mr. Qin, you need to cleanse your body for cultivation?” Guan Zexiao was a little confused.
Qin Chuan understood what he meant and said, “I’m not asking you to be a eunuch. You will cleanse your body of the secular world’s Qi, cast off your old self, and mold your immortal spirit bones.”
Upon hearing that, Guan Zexiao heaved a sigh of relief. If he really had to become a eunuch, he would have to consider it carefully. Fortunately, that was not the case.
Soon, Qin Chuan brought him to the Spirit Spring.
“The soaking duration is limited. You can only use it for two hours at most.
“Mm… one more thing. Don’t drink too much.”
After saying this, Qin Chuan left.
Guan Zexiao stared at the Spirit Spring with a fervent gaze. Then, he quickly took off his clothes and jumped in.
Very quickly, he noticed something strange about his body.
He was only a little past forty and was at the prime of his life,
But because he had to deal with national affairs and international matters every day, he had over-exhausted his body and had aged at least ten years.
Furthermore, there were a lot of wrinkles on his face. His hair, especially, was already completely white.
But now, everything had changed.
On the other side.
After leaving the Spirit Spring, Qin Chuan went straight to the Purple Bamboo Forest and planned to breakthrough while Guan Zexiao was soaking in the spiritual spring.
He had been stuck in the third class of Golden Core for a long time.
Although his clone was cultivating diligently day and night, the experience points required to level up were very high after reaching the Golden Core Realm.
Qin Chuan glanced at the progress bar. Looking at the cultivation speed of his clone, it would probably take another half a month.
But now that he had two supreme-grade spirit stones, he should be able to make a breakthrough.
Thus, Qin Chuan circulated his cultivation technique and crushed the supreme-grade spirit stone in his hand.
All of a sudden, boundless spiritual energy entered his body continuously.
The progress bar instantly sped up.
70.1%, 70.2%, 70.3%…
In about ten minutes, the progress bar had reached 100%, and that was not the end.
At this time, Heavenly Tribulation arrived.
Because of this, his clone had to come out to resist that.
For the advancement of a small realm, the might of the Heavenly Tribulation would not be very great.
The clone didn’t feel much pressure when blocking it.
A few minutes later, the Heavenly Tribulation ended, and Qin Chuan successfully broke through to the fourth class of Golden Core.
Currently, the range of his divine consciousness had increased to about 8,000 meters.
There were many benefits to expanding his scope.
As he had just broken through, his realm had yet to stabilize completely.
Hence, Qin Chuan could only focus on consolidating his cultivation.
Time ticked by.
Spirit Spring.
Two hours had passed.
Guan Zexiao walked out of the Spirit Spring, put on his clothes, and waited for Qin Chuan to arrive.
After being soaked in the Spirit Spring, Guan Zexiao’s silvery-white hair and his haggard skin were all gone.
Replacing him was a young man in his prime who appeared to be in his twenties.
At this moment, Guan Zexiao felt full of energy. He felt full of spirit as if he had seven or eight kidneys.
Is this cultivation?
This feels amazing.
Guan Zexiao was excited, but he controlled himself.
Not long after, Qin Chuan arrived.
“Mr. Qin.” Guan Zexiao greeted with a smile.
“How do you feel?” Qin Chuan asked.
“Not bad!” Guan Ze replied calmly.
As the country’s authoritative figure, he was rather experienced and very composed.
Qin Chuan didn’t comment further.
He said, “Now that you have a Spirit Root and a Spirit Bone, I’ll teach you the cultivation method.
“But before that, I have some things to tell you.”
“Please speak.” Guan Zexiao became serious.
Qin Chuan continued, “Firstly, once you enter my immortal sect, I don’t care what your status is. There’s no such thing as nobility here. You are all disciples of my sect.
“Hence, when you see me in the sect, you don’t have to address me as Mr. Qin.
“To be honest, I don’t like the title of Mr. Qin because I then have the same name as Mr. Qin in the local production tab[2].
“In the future, you must address me as Sect Master in the sect.”
“Secondly, all sect disciples must abide by the rules of the sect. The disciples of the sect should be united and amiable. They should get along harmoniously. Fighting is forbidden. Otherwise, they will be stripped of their qualification to cultivate and expelled from the sect.
“Thirdly, immortal cultivators are not allowed to kill the innocent and cause panic to the secular society.
“Lastly, the current situation of the world is not optimistic. The sect is very short of people, so I need you to give me some fresh blood.”
Lu Dewei had probed Guan Zexiao about this problem back then.
Right now, most of the troops in the country were at the front line. So there was basically no way to mobilize any extra numbers.
Hence, he explained the situation to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan smiled. “I know a troop that can.”
“Which one?” Guan Zexiao was puzzled.
“Hero Company.”
