Chapter 101: This Rate of Improvement, It’s Incredible

Before long, Chen Ansheng followed Gu Jue to a fissure and a ravine.

Gu Jue took out a jade talisman and said, “Junior Brother Chen, take this jade talisman in to the cave marked with the golden character ‘Jia,’ which is your seclusion place. For one month, no one will disturb you.”

Chen Ansheng took the jade tablet and then asked, “Senior Brother, if something major happens in our sect during this time, how will I be able to come to aid in time?”

Gu Jue replied, “What kind of major events could there possibly be? Everything outside has nothing to do with you. Master has also given strict orders that no one should disturb you. You can rest assured and cultivate. You can improve as much as you can.”

“Um,” Chen Ansheng nodded, “I understand.”

“Go then,” Gu Jue waved his hand.

Chen Ansheng said no more, leaped into the ravine.

With the jade talisman, Chen Ansheng quickly found the seclusion cave marked with the golden character ‘Jia.’ The jade talisman was the key, allowing him to open it and enter.

After shutting the cave, Chen Ansheng murmured to himself: “The rules of heaven and earth are restored, the cave’s restrictions are restarted. Without the jade talisman, no one can enter. It’s safe to proceed.”

Then, Chen Ansheng took stock of the contents of his storage pouch.

Over four million purple crystals, about ten pieces of ink crystals, and several spirit talismans, weapons, and elixirs.

“Generally speaking, I estimate I am richer than most elders!”

All these resources came from selling spirit liquids, earning the money meant for the survival of the high-ups from each cave.

“I wonder how far I can improve my constitution this time.”

Chen Ansheng looked forward with anticipation and was eager to activate the cross-dimensional stone.

…

The Occult Void Realm.

In the forbidden area of the Long Family, in front of the spatial portal.

Chen Ansheng’s figure suddenly materialized.

He did not worry about anyone seeing him. With the cultivation level of a Celestial Immortal, moving unseen in the lower realms was quite normal.

Besides, the Long Family’s guards were not allowed to approach the portal, staying outside the forbidden territory.

Then, Chen Ansheng stepped into the portal.

After reaching the cave where the Emerald Water Pool existed, Chen Ansheng first released his spiritual sense to probe around. Once he confirmed there was no one else, he appeared and entered the pool.

Next, he deftly dropped purple crystals into the Emerald Water Pool.

On the first go, he directly dropped in one hundred thousand!

The icy water temperature of the pool gradually increased, until it boiled.

Chen Ansheng completely immersed himself in it, simultaneously circulating his vital energy while improving his constitution.

The process went as smoothly as the previous two times.

Gradually, Chen Ansheng completely grew silent, plunging into a state of deep cultivation in which he forgot his self.

A pair of eyes glowing with a dark light appeared on the ceiling of the cave, observing everything within the Emerald Water Pool.

“Truly incredible, how could this young man have so many purple crystals? What is his true origin!”

In the deepest part of the Dragon Bone Abyss, a voice whispered in shock.

“Should I meet him or not?”

That unknown presence seemed to be caught in a dilemma.

…

“Phew.”

After several hours, the hundred thousand purple crystals were all consumed, and Chen Ansheng opened his eyes.

It was again the time to happily calculate the gains.

Chen Ansheng first checked his constitution.

“Superior quality, Immaculate Sword Constitution, hahaha!”

His constitution undoubtedly improved by one grade, reaching superior quality.

In the entire Ninefold Flower Mountain, there were probably fewer than fifteen disciples whose constitutions have reached superior quality.

As for the circulation of his vital energy, it also saw a significant increase, with one breath cycle resulting in 187 rotations!

Such a speed was only surpassed by Gu Jue, the number one genius of the Pyreflame Cave! Yet, Gu Jue’s constitution was merely the top-grade Xuan Quality Azure Dragon Sword Constitution, a notch lower than Chen Ansheng’s current Superior Immaculate Sword Constitution.

Taking everything into account, Chen Ansheng’s current talent had exceeded that of Gu Jue.

After all, for others, improving one’s constitution was almost impossible. The circulation of vital energy, on the other hand, could be somewhat improved through diligent cultivation.

Nevertheless, Chen Ansheng had a feeling that to further improve beyond the superior quality constitution would require a tremendous amount of resources.

“Regardless, nothing is more important than improving one’s constitution!”

Chen Ansheng prepared to continue using purple crystals to enhance his constitution.

Five thousand, ten thousand, twenty thousand… sixteen hundred thousand…

“Damn it!”

Only after using two million two hundred thousand purple crystals did the Emerald Water Pool reach saturation again.

Even though Chen Ansheng was well-prepared mentally, he couldn’t help but curse under his breath.

It was really excessive.

That was over two million purple crystals, enough to buy countless caves, and even take on countless immortal consorts.

Fortunately, Chen Ansheng no longer desired such things. It was meaningless, truly.

“Ah well, considering it’s from exploiting others, there’s no need to worry.”

Chen Ansheng comforted himself with this thought and entered the Emerald Water Pool again.

“Ah, it’s so comfortable…”

The incomparable feeling of comfort instantly made Chen Ansheng forget all his troubles, making him feel the crystals were worth every bit spent.

Time passed.

After a few more hours.

“Superior Peak Constitution!”

After checking his constitution, Chen Ansheng was even happier.

He inwardly wondered if his constitution improvement had no bottlenecks?

As long as the resources were available, he could definitely make a substantial leap in a short period.

“I wonder what the origin of this Emerald Water Pool is, for it to be so miraculous!”

Chen Ansheng was very curious.

Theoretically speaking, if there was such a miraculous Emerald Water Pool, even an Immortal Emperor would likely be interested.

Why?

Simply because, even if the Immortal Emperor didn’t need it themselves, they could use it to cultivate disciples or subordinates.

Moreover, Immortal Emperors surely would not lack resources such as purple crystals or ink crystals. They would likely have as much as they desired.

Your Majesty, there’s more to this chapter, please continue reading on the next page, the best is yet to come!

One could easily cultivate countless constitution types that are just below the Emperor level!

“Maybe it hasn’t been discovered yet, or it would surely be taken away.”

The cultivation world is vast. Even the Immortal Emperor probably didn’t have the time to investigate every place carefully.

Of course, this was all Chen Ansheng’s wild imagination. Who knows? It might be similar to commoners’ thought, assuming the emperor must work with a golden hoe.

Temporarily putting aside extraneous thoughts, Chen Ansheng checked his circulation of vital energy.

One breath cycle, two hundred and four rotations.

Not much improvement.

“This pool mainly enhances constitution; the enhancement of vital energy circulation still requires diligent personal cultivation.”

Chen Ansheng was slightly disappointed. He originally thought he could leverage the Emerald Water Pool to reach the legendary 9,600 rotations only those with the potential to become Immortal Kings were able to achieve. He realized he was just daydreaming.

Furthermore, even that legendary figure, possessing the potential of an Immortal King, took a hundred years to reach the limit of 9,600 rotations, showing how incredibly difficult it was.

Then, Chen Ansheng checked his storage pouch.

There were still over a million purple crystals left, and he wasn’t ready to use them yet.

Because, in order for the pool to reach saturation next time, these million crystals wouldn’t be enough. Bringing along the five million ink crystals would have a better effect.

“The next time, I will be able to strive for a Royal Grade Constitution! Just thinking about it makes me excited!”

Although the Royal Grade is only one level higher than the Superior Grade, the gap is very obvious.

The Royal Grade is a true one-in-a-billion constitution, representing the qualification to break through the Celestial Immortal Realm and become an Immortal King.

Of course, this Royal Grade is merely a threshold. Having a Royal Grade constitution does not guarantee that one can necessarily cultivate to the Immortal King Realm, as there are countless complexities and difficulties blocking the way.

“Excuse me, friend, would you be willing to converse with me?”

Suddenly, an old voice came from behind Chen Ansheng, making his spine go cold.
