Chapter 62: Last Cultivation Push Before Departure
"Yeah," Feng Jun nodded and confirmed, "In a few days, when we head out, the sect will hand out extra supplies to you."
"Jiang Chen, make sure you come back in one piece! You’ve got the crucial task of ensuring the sect’s future!" he said earnestly, placing a firm hand on Jiang Chen’s shoulder.
"Don’t worry, Sect Master," Jiang Chen replied with confidence.
"You can go now, but make sure to guide Ning Xian step by step, and steer clear of the allure of quick success." As Feng Jun advised, he settled back into his chair and continued his work, a true picture of commitment.
"Yes, I’ll be on my way, Sect Master." Jiang Chen acknowledged, saluting respectfully, and left the Starry Abyss Grand Hall with Ning Xian.
The duo walked along the path, their long sleeves flowing and spiritual mist surrounding them, looking like a pair of heavenly lovers.
Passersby couldn’t resist turning their heads and offering their greetings.
It was hard to say if it was the Black Heavenly Fate Value at work, but numerous female disciples happened to cross their path.
Moreover, these disciples seemed quite taken with Jiang Chen, greeting him with enthusiasm and showing a clear liking for him. When they saw Ning Xian with Jiang Chen, a hint of jealousy and envy was evident.
In any case, it would be hard for any guy not to enjoy such attention.
Seeing all this, Ning Xian bit her lip and asked curiously, "Jiang Chen... who are they?"
"They’re just my junior sisters," Jiang Chen smiled and explained casually.
"What’s on your mind?" he inquired, gently tousling the back of Ning Xian’s head.
A blush briefly colored Ning Xian’s lovely face as she shook her head, stammering, "Nothing! Nothing at all!"@@@@
"Let’s go, we’re almost there," Jiang Chen suggested, a smile on his lips, as he wrapped his arm around Ning Xian’s slender waist and leaped forward.
In no time, they arrived at Jiang Chen’s simple dwelling, complete with a private courtyard.
With a swift "Whoosh," the protective formation was turned off, and they walked in side by side.
"From now on, this is your home. If you need anything, just let the Deacon Hall know. I can get some disciples to help you out in my name." Jiang Chen said as he showed Ning Xian around the house.
Ning Xian nodded repeatedly, her eyes taking in the surroundings. She thought to herself, ’The house is nice, and there’s plenty of spiritual energy, but it’s too plain. I’ll spruce it up when I get the chance.’ She decided that, besides practicing her cultivation, she would also make Jiang Chen’s courtyard more beautiful.
’Great, there are over twenty boxes of Mysterious Platform-level spiritual plants!’ Jiang Chen realized with excitement.
’These must have come from Du Bailei. With the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce’s long history in this business, it makes sense that they have these kinds of spiritual plants,’ he thought, a small smile on his face as he began gathering the spiritual plants.
Actually, the Burning World Red Lotus could be rejuvenated using any spiritual plant, but the effectiveness varied depending on the plant. The lower the quality, the less impact it had.
While he was in Autumn Glory City, Jiang Chen had asked the Jiang Clan to collect some spiritual plants for him. However, the ones they gathered were pretty basic, leading to just average results, nowhere near as good as what he could get with Villain Value points.
Plus, even among high-quality spiritual plants of the same rank, different varieties had different effects.
Thanks to his ability from the Burning World Red Lotus, Jiang Chen could clearly tell how effective each spiritual plant was on the Burning World Red Lotus.
Right then, he chose the most powerful spiritual plant as his first pick.
Crunch! crunch!
In just a few bites, he ate the plant, and it settled in his stomach.
Before long, the Burning World Red Lotus fully absorbed the spiritual plant. Suddenly, some of the cracks on the lotus healed, but it still looked wilted. Clearly, getting the Burning World Red Lotus back to the Inquiring Journey realm was no easy task.
Of course, as the Burning World Red Lotus was being restored, Jiang Chen also benefited. Every time the Burning World Red Lotus healed a bit, his cultivation base and aptitude improved.
Time flew, and the next day came quickly.
Since Sect Master Feng Jun had already briefed Jiang Chen about the Cave Heaven Secret Realm earlier, there was no need to go over it again. So, he stayed in the meditation room, keeping up with taking pills.
Ning Xian was also practicing her cultivation in the martial skills training room, occasionally coming out to rearrange the courtyard the way she liked.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
As dawn broke, Jiang Chen let out a deep breath, thinking, ’The effects of this spiritual plant are incredible!’
After several days of practicing, his cultivation base had improved a lot, and a breakthrough was just around the corner. Plus, his actual combat strength had gone up again.
Just then, his transmission jade token started vibrating. Jiang Chen checked it with his divine sense.
It was a message from the sect’s Deacon Hall, announcing that the thirty disciples chosen for the Cave Heaven Secret Realm needed to gather at the plaza in front of the Deacon Hall.
