Chapter 1547: Chapter 574: The Four Overlords of the North Sea

In the wooden hut nestled in the valley.

Luo Chen, with a Returning Yang Elixir in his mouth, sat cross-legged.

His robe sleeves fluttered without wind, and amidst the lengthy breaths, the massive amount of Heaven and Earth Qi from the Outer World, previously drawn out by his signs of Nascent Soul Formation, surged towards him as if pouring into his body.

In ordinary times, one would not dare to absorb it so recklessly.

But as Fu Chaosheng said, this batch of Heaven and Earth Qi was drawn out by him, and it was tinged with his breath, making the refining process particularly easy.

The premise is that his body can withstand it!

Clearly, with Luo Chen’s expansive meridians, vast Sea of Qi, and robust physique, he could indeed swallow it in one gulp.

In this process, the medicinal power of the Returning Yang Elixir melted and diffused throughout his body.

Luo Chen’s scattered Divine Soul and agitated Blood Essence also began to converge little by little, returning to his control.

Focused on recuperating, Luo Chen was increasingly astonished by the miraculous nature of the Returning Yang Elixir.

This pill was truly the most exquisite he had ever seen in his life!

Past Elixirs he used were either like the Tongyou Pill, which solely increased Divine Soul Endowment, or the True Flame Pill to boost Qi Power, or even the Black Emperor Ointment for tempering the physique—each with a single effect.

But the Returning Yang Elixir!

It had not only the effect of nourishing the soul and consolidating the spirit but also of calming the Qi-Blood and replenishing the qi deficit in Qi Power.

It could be described as the unification of all three aspects!

"Truly worthy of being the early masterpiece of the Alchemy Saint!"

"If supported by a large number of Returning Yang Elixirs, a Cultivator at Nascent Soul Formation could save decades of effort, with Essence Qi and spirit all unified, directly reaching the realm of Three Flowers Gathering at the Head!"

Despite the amazement, Luo Chen did not feel disappointed.

Although he only had one Returning Yang Elixir, he was currently only at the Golden Core Fourth Stage Realm, and one was enough.

Time slowly passed.

Three days later, the boiling Spirit Qi in the valley, with the sweep of a breeze, disappeared completely.

Inside the wooden hut, Luo Chen stood up tall, exhaling a wisp of Turbid Qi from his mouth.

Feeling the state of his own body, there was an indescribably comfortable sensation.

Light as a feather, as if he could ascend to immortality at any moment.

Yet the firm foundation of his realm made him aware that he had left behind that perilous state.

Opening the Attribute Panel, Luo Chen’s gaze landed on the progression bar for his realm.

[Golden Core Fourth Stage 30/100]

In an instant, his gaze froze, and gradually, his lips curved into a slight smile.

Counting carefully, he ascended to the Golden Core Fourth Stage in the Mysterious Rock Sea Area, after which he was forced to change to a Spirit Land with insufficient Spirit Qi in the Coral Trench, and had not been able to properly cultivate for a year, relying solely on the power of the True Flame Pill to increase his Qi Power.

Since returning from the Mysterious Rock Sea Area, he had cultivated for three years on Yao Yue Island with Third-Order Lower Grade Spirit Land, almost without slack, working hard day and night.

And the last half year was spent traveling to Feileng City.

Overall, his previous cultivation progress was [17/100].

This rate was in line with his previous estimation that he would need twenty years to advance a minor realm relying solely on the Third-Order Lower Grade Spirit Land.

If it were replaced with Third-tier top-grade or Top-Grade Spirit Land, one could achieve the rumored cultivation speed of a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator, that is, reaching Nascent Soul Formation in two hundred years.

Perhaps some people did not understand why, after Luo Chen switched to cultivating the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra," his cultivation speed still did not match the reported speed of a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator.

In fact, it was the Spirit Land that caused this.

If a Great Sect had a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator, they would absolutely maximize all kinds of resources for them.

Not to mention external objects like Alchemy Array Artifacts, they would go out of their way to provide Top-Grade Spirit Lands.

Just like with the East Desolate Dream Spring Cave producing a Water Attribute Heavenly Spirit Root like Yu Jiaolong, who reached Core Formation in a hundred years. Then, for his sake, Dream Spring Cave did not hesitate to give up the land they had operated for many years, even joining in on an Open War, all to secure a better Third-Order Spirit Land for Yu Jiaolong.

Therefore, the absolute cultivation speed of a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator can truly be achieved only under the premise of having fully-maximized Spirit Land configurations!

For Luo Chen.

During his time at Cangwu Mountain, his cultivation speed was the genuine Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator’s rate!

In merely three years, he had ascended a minor realm.

Because, his cave mansion for cultivation at Cangwu Mountain was a Third-Order Top-Grade Spirit Land!

In that kind of environment, even though he had just switched his Cultivation Technique and even had to divide his attention to refine his Lifebound Magic Treasure Mix Yuan Cauldron and Breaking Moon Wings, he could still make rapid progress.

But upon leaving Cangwu Mountain and arriving at the North Sea, his external resource configuration was never fully maximized.

This is also why, despite having a strong foundation and cultivation technique, his cultivation efficiency never increased as expected.

Similarly, this is the reason why Luo Chen decided to leave the Flying Swallow Islands.

And this time.

In this Third-Order Lower Grade Spirit Land of the valley, he spent merely a month’s time, but he absorbed a vast amount of Spirit Qi, converting it into Qi Power, and brought his Cultivation Progress up to thirty percent in one go.

An explosive increase of thirteen percentage points!

If calculated in terms of time, one month’s effort almost equated to three years of hard cultivation!

"Is this what they call Sudden Enlightenment?"

Luo Chen was deeply moved in his heart.

Thinking back to that state, where the Cultivation Technique operated on its own, his body functioned like a giant magnet, capturing, extracting, and refining the surrounding Spirit Qi at every moment.

Even the Third-Order Lower Grade Spirit Land was exploited to its limits.

It could barely endure the extraction from him.

And he was merely at the Fourth layer of Golden Core so far.

This made Luo Chen understand that if he really wanted to form a Nascent Soul in the future, he must find a Fourth Order Spirit Vein.

Any low-grade Spirit Vein simply couldn’t sustain the amount of Spirit Qi needed for Nascent Soul Formation.

"Let the future take care of itself; for now, just steadily walk the path ahead!"

Luo Chen chuckled softly and stepped out of the wooden hut.
