Chapter 60: Numerous Benefits Await, A Bright Future to Anticipate!

The enhancement of one’s qualifications is a significant challenge in the immortal realm.

Even for those ancient families with immortal lineages, raising the qualifications of their disciples requires vast resources and sacrifices.

Aside from that, the only other option is to take a risk.

Just like how the Demoness provided Chen Ansheng with the “Transcendence Method,” which involves risking one’s life for a chance to improve qualifications.

“I wonder if the Bi Shui Pool has a limit on the enhancement of qualifications?”

While filled with joy, Chen Ansheng began to ponder this question.

The True-level physique was decent, but its cultivation limit was restricted to the Xuan Immortal realm, and it might not even reach the mid-stage of Xuan Immortal.

“Let’s continue trying.”

In this situation, Chen Ansheng naturally wouldn’t hesitate to invest some immortal crystals, preparing to contribute more to the Bi Shui Pool.

He first tossed in one hundred crystals.

As the crystals dissolved, the feeling of comfort returned.

However, after fifteen minutes, the temperature of the Bi Shui Pool gradually dissipated and began to backlash against Chen Ansheng’s physique.

“The duration has been significantly reduced!”

Chen Ansheng furrowed his brow, analyzing in his heart that it was probably because he had reached the True-level physique, requiring more and faster consumption of immortal spiritual energy for further enhancement.

“In other words, as my physique continues to improve, the consumption of immortal crystals will increase rapidly.”

This was still acceptable to Chen Ansheng.

After all, without the existence of this Bi Shui Pool, even if he had endless resources, it would be impossible to enhance his physique so safely and quickly.

Understanding this, Chen Ansheng increased the amount of immortal crystals he invested.

“Sixty thousand immortal crystals were required for the pool water to reach saturation!”

The first time, three thousand immortal crystals sufficed to saturate the pool water, but this time it took twenty times that amount.

But that was not a concern.

Chen Ansheng submerged himself in the pool and enjoyed the process of his physique transformation.

After a while, an idea struck him: would there be a special effect if he practiced the Spirit Gathering Technique while bathing in the spring water?

With that thought, Chen Ansheng immediately began to operate the Spirit Gathering Technique.

Of course, practicing the Spirit Gathering Technique outside the immortal realm was only to increase proficiency; without sufficient immortal spiritual energy, he couldn’t enhance his realm.

His blood energy began to circulate.

Gurgle, gurgle…

A tremendous heat radiated from Chen Ansheng’s body, causing the pool water to start boiling.

His internal blood energy: one breath, three rotations, four rotations, five rotations…

A day and a half passed.

Sixty thousand immortal crystals were consumed, and the time required was halved compared to the last time.

“My blood energy has cycled thirty-six times in one breath, and my Spirit Gathering Technique has improved by more than ten times!”

This result filled Chen Ansheng with joy once more.

He had been practicing the Spirit Gathering Technique for a while, and before coming here, his cycle was about three times per breath, which was three times that of a regular immortal.

Now, his blood energy had reached a staggering thirty-six cycles per breath!

What does this mean?

This surpassed most ordinary disciples who had entered the Spirit Cave, qualifying as exceptional!

“This should be the result of both my enhanced physique and the pool water’s effects.”

At this moment, Chen Ansheng could hardly express his excitement with words.

The Bi Shui Pool was truly a supreme treasure for him!

“No wonder there’s a saying in cultivation about the cycle of cause and effect. If I hadn’t met Brother Li, I would never have had the chance to enter the Spirit Cave. If I had given up on entering the Spirit Cave because of a few words of humiliation, I might have never seen that ‘Wanjie Xiaoyaoji’ or learned about Long Xu’s story. Even if I had the Cross-border Stone, I wouldn’t have been able to find this treasure-like Bi Shui Pool…”

Chen Ansheng felt fortunate that he hadn’t given up due to Ji Ziling’s insults and threats, which led to today’s results.

He reminded himself that as long as he could become strong, what grievances could he not avenge? What hatred could he not extinguish?

A mortal’s life must endure wind and frost hardships, let alone the long life of a powerless low-ranking immortal?

Thinking of this, all the gloom in Chen Ansheng’s heart dissipated, and he felt his future was bright.

“My physique has reached the pinnacle of True-level; the time for crossing borders is approaching. Next time I come back, I’ll surely be able to easily elevate my physique to Xuan-level.”

Chen Ansheng decided to leave the Bi Shui Pool.

One reason was that he was about to return to the immortal realm, and the other was that he had exhausted all his immortal crystals, leaving only a piece of ink crystal.

A piece of ink crystal was equivalent to hundreds of thousands of immortal crystals; if he used it, it would become a waste since he wouldn’t be able to finish it in a few hours.

Chen Ansheng flew out of the pool and entered the spatial passage.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the Long Family’s forbidden ground.

“No matter what, I must guard this Bi Shui Pool; it cannot be occupied by others.”

Chen Ansheng understood that there would certainly be experts of Xianba and Xianjiu levels in this realm.

Relying solely on himself, he could not guard the Bi Shui Pool at this stage.

Moreover, the Long Family had fought with various forces in the You Xuan realm for over a hundred years without defeat, indicative of their deep heritage.

Therefore, all he needed was to assist the Long Family.

What if the Long Family doesn’t allow him to use the Bi Shui Pool anymore in the future?

Chen Ansheng found a simple solution; once his strength increased, he could create some high-tier immortal talismans to reclaim it.

Regardless of any situation, he could advance or retreat freely, and the advantage was on his side!

Then, Chen Ansheng used the Concealment Technique to hide his physique energy and realm energy, leaving the forbidden ground.

“Master, your disciple has been waiting for a long time.”

As soon as he emerged, Long Shaoyan greeted Chen Ansheng at the entrance.

“Hmm.”

Chen Ansheng nodded lightly.

“I believe you have already bathed in the spirit spring. How does it feel?” Long Shaoyan inquired.

“Just like you, I was not affected by the backlash; only the evil fire intruded my body.”

Chen Ansheng wasn’t pretending that the spirit pool was ineffective for him; after all, he would be using it each time he came back, and who would believe he said it was useless?

Hearing Chen Ansheng’s response, Long Shaoyan showed a delighted expression. “I didn’t expect Master that you are also not affected by the backlash of the spirit pool; I congratulate you, Master!”

Chen Ansheng laughed heartily and said, “There’s a reason for everything in the world; it seems that you and I are destined to be master and disciple, not merely by coincidence.”

Long Shaoyan nodded. “Yes, yes. By the way, Master, the antidote has been prepared for you. I personally selected it; I’m sure you will be satisfied.”

Chen Ansheng felt warm in his heart; this kid is quite capable, so he decided to reward him with an immortal weapon.

Then, Chen Ansheng took out a spear from his storage bag.

This wasn’t a farming tool; it was a genuine weapon bought from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

Common farming tools could be regarded as precious immortal tools for low-level immortals, and such a substantial weapon was akin to a top-notch immortal weapon for them.

After all, in the cultivation world, obtaining immortal tools only had one route—the forbidden zones—and what they often received were merely fragments of ancient immortal tools, which were then reforged.

The quality, of course, could not compare to weapons crafted by an immortal craftsman in the immortal realm.

“This… this is too much, Master, I feel unworthy of accepting such a treasure,” Long Shaoyan said.

He could sense the extraordinary nature of the spear, his eyes nearly popping out as he stared at the radiant spear.

“Stop pretending; take it as a gift. I will be entering seclusion for a while, and you are to guard the spirit pool well. Understood?” Chen Ansheng instructed lightly.

“Yes, yes, yes! Your disciple will comply with your orders!” Long Shaoyan took the spear eagerly, and the Earth Fairy power within him was stirred, unleashing a strong aura of immortality. He felt that at this moment, even if a first-level immortal attacked, he could fight back!

“Alright, let’s go remove the evil fire from within me, after which I will go into seclusion.”

Chen Ansheng reminded with anticipation.
