Chapter 655: Seeing Xiu Chen Again

The two Tier Four Demon Rats also sensed the change in the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. They slipped out of their burrow, craning their necks to peer into the mountain cave.

As Tier Four Demon Beasts, these two Demon Rats had limited Spiritual Wisdom and didn’t understand cultivation methods. They only instinctively felt that being in a place with dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi would be of great benefit to strengthening their bodies.

They were afraid of Chen Cheng and didn’t dare enter the cave, so they subconsciously stood at the entrance like a pair of guardian statues.

Seeing this, Xiao Yingluo couldn’t help but smile faintly, thinking to herself, ‘This senior is truly remarkable, to have trained these two Demon Rats to be so well-behaved and obedient!’

Chen Cheng’s secret chamber was located in the belly of the mountain. It was about ten feet high and over a hundred feet square. Its four walls were made of hard, dense rock. The chamber was much larger than the outer cave, and the overall environment was far more comfortable.

At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the secret chamber was incredibly dense—more than ten times denser than the outside world and over three times denser than on Lake Heart Island.

This was, of course, the result of Chen Cheng activating the Source Crystal Jades. Moreover, he had activated the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from two whole Source Crystal Jades at once—an act of extreme extravagance!

In a large stone vat in the corner, the Herbal Decoction was also extremely concentrated, almost viscous. It contained the full medicinal power of a Low Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Chen Cheng immersed his entire body in the Herbal Decoction, striking various poses: Coiling Dragon Sea Exploration… Bent Bow and Eagle Shooting… Void Yin-Pulling Technique… Heavenly Round and Earthly Reach…

After soaking in the Herbal Decoction, he stepped out of the stone vat and performed the Qian Absorption and Kun Vomiting Technique…

The dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi surged madly into his body. Combined with the medicinal power of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, it continuously nourished and strengthened his bone marrow, causing his progress to skyrocket.

Panel notifications appeared one after another!

[Your Cultivation Progress for the Primordial Pill Marrow Cleansing Method has increased.]

…

Four hours later, most of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the secret chamber had been consumed, but it was still denser than on Lake Heart Island.

Chen Cheng stopped his Cultivation. Sensing that his physique had grown much stronger, a faint smile appeared on his face.

He called up his panel to check his status.

‘Whoa! The Primordial Pill Marrow Cleansing Method’s progress increased by more than nine hundred points.’

Even though he had anticipated it, Chen Cheng was still overjoyed. Then, he grew thoughtful.

‘The Primordial Pill Marrow Cleansing Method is similar to refining Elixir Pills. It relies more on Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to cleanse the bone marrow, while the Low Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill plays more of a supportive role.’

‘As my bone marrow strengthens, it can accommodate more Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and the progress of the Primordial Pill Marrow Cleansing Method has also sped up.’

‘With the density of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi pushed nearly to its limit, the supportive effect of a single Low Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill has also been maximized.’

‘In the outside world, after a Cultivation session like this, it would take over two months for the useless residual medicinal power from the Low Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill to be naturally expelled from my marrow. Otherwise, my body would instinctively reject the pill’s power, preventing further Cultivation.’

‘However, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi on Lake Heart Island is several times denser than outside, which can speed up the expulsion of the residual medicinal power. It would only take about a month before I could continue cultivating.’

‘In other words, in this environment, I can cultivate once a month and gain over nine hundred progress points.’

‘I still have six Source Crystal Jades left, enough for my Cultivation for the next three months.’

‘It won’t be too late to enter the Kan Palace Array Hub after I’ve used up the Source Crystal Jades!’

‘Additionally, my Cultivation Progress for the Iron Armor Demon Suppression Skill is also much faster than in the outside world, where I could only increase it by four or five hundred points per month.’

‘But here in this cavern, I’ve only been here for a scant month, and my Cultivation Progress for the Iron Armor Demon Suppression Skill has already increased by more than seven hundred points! That’s truly fast!’

‘Wandering around the various parts of this cavern would delay my Cultivation. What I need to do now is secure my foundation, hold down the Kan Palace Array Hub, and cultivate in peace.’

‘However, this cavern clearly won’t be peaceful. Ji Lingxiao has likely gone to the Qian Palace Array Hub, so he won’t come here.’

‘I need to be on guard against Ning Hao, as well as those two mysterious Innate Realm Experts.’

‘With my current combat strength, if I go all out using the True Intent of Heaven and Earth combined with the Nine Heavens Thunder Shocking Hammer Technique, I can unleash a Realm Power of around ninety-five hundred. I’m naturally not afraid to face these people head-on, but I do fear a sneak attack.’
