Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 389: Rapid Progress

Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Rapid Progress

After realizing the essence of Stellar Blade, Ling Chen once exchanged ideas with Liu Qingcang.

Although the latter had reached a deeper realm, he was still muddled and unclear on how to continue cultivation.

Therefore, Ling Chen could only continue to improve by using the previous method of swinging the longsword.

However, with the understanding of the Stellar Blade, he gained fresh insights into the simple action of sword swinging.

Perhaps, this was a return to simplicity and truth!

Five days later.

At the entrance of the Bamboo Garden.

A ragged-looking old man appeared and knocked on the door.

It was Elder Jiang.

"Is Young Master Lingchen around?"

Elder Jiang asked as soon as Ye Zhenzhen came out.

For the past few days, he hadn’t closed his eyes, constantly studying the two elixir recipes. Once the necessary Spiritual Medicine had been delivered, he began the alchemy.

He had only just emerged from seclusion.

He rushed here impatiently.

"Who might you be?"

Ye Zhenzhen asked.

"My surname is Jiang."

Elder Jiang replied with a smile.

"Ah! So it’s Elder Jiang, please come in!"

Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly said.

Ling Chen had previously told her that an elder with the surname Jiang might come to see him soon. She was to pay attention and inform him when he arrived.

Inside the room.

Ling Chen and Elder Jiang sat opposite each other.

"Young Master Ling, here are the elixirs you requested."

With that, Elder Jiang threw two Jade Bottles over.

One bottle contained Dragon Ascending Pill, the other Enlightenment Heart Pill.

There were ten of each.

"So soon?"

Ling Chen was delighted.

He didn’t expect Elder Jiang to be so efficient.

It took only five days from gathering Spiritual Medicine to producing the elixirs.

He hastily took the two Jade Bottles, opened each one, and examined an elixir from each bottle, finding them identical to the description in the recipes.

"Thank you for your hard work, Elder Jiang!"

Ling Chen bowed slightly.

"Young Master Ling, no need to be so courteous. If you need any elixirs made in the future, just let this old man know."

Elder Jiang said with a laugh.

For him, making ordinary elixirs no longer satisfied him.

"Alright, then I will thank Elder Jiang in advance."

Ling Chen bowed again.

Fearing that Ling Chen might not understand, Elder Jiang added, "If you get any ancient elixir recipes, remember to look for me! I can guarantee you, my Alchemy Technique is second to none in the entire Great Xia Dynasty. Moreover, I’m willing to make them for you free of charge!"

He was already old, with little hope of advancing further in the Divine Soul Realm. His only joy in living now was alchemy.

"Elder Jiang, I’ll remember that."

Ling Chen smiled.

Elder Jiang stood up to take his leave, but when he reached the door, he instructed again, "Remember to look for me!"

"Sure."

Ling Chen smiled slightly.

This old man sure was stubborn!

After seeing Elder Jiang off, Ling Chen went into seclusion again.

He took out an Enlightenment Heart Pill and consumed it.

The purpose of the Enlightenment Heart Pill was to enhance one’s powers of comprehension, that is, to improve one’s insight. It made the person more sensitive to their surroundings and sparked inspiration.

After taking the Enlightenment Heart Pill, he felt completely clear-headed; wherever his gaze went, countless ideas sprang to mind.

Immediately, he closed his eyes and focused on practicing his swordsmanship.

Ideas related to the sword began to flood in relentlessly.

As night fell.

Ling Chen called over Ling Wu and Xu Lin.

He took out four elixirs and, looking at them with a smile, said, "Two for each of you, take them."

"Okay!"

Ling Wu consumed them without hesitation.

Her trust in Ling Chen was absolute.

Xu Lin also consumed them.

"What kind of elixir is this? Such a strange feeling!"

Ling Wu’s beautiful eyes sparkled.

After taking the elixir, she felt a clearer perception of her surroundings.

"Yeah! It’s really strange!"

Xu Lin also spoke up.

Ling Chen explained, "What you’ve taken are one Dragon Ascending Pill and one Enlightenment Heart Pill. The former can enhance your cultivation speed, and the latter can improve your perception."

"What?"

Hearing this, both Ling Wu and Xu Lin were startled.

Cultivation speed is basically related to their physique.

However, perception is more mysterious and they had never heard that it could be improved.

"These two types of pills are not the instant-effect kind like the Spirit Revitalizing Pill; their potency releases slowly and can last about a month. Therefore, it would be best to devote all your energy to cultivation during this month."

Ling Chen said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Both of them responded immediately.

"Alright, go back to cultivating!"

Ling Chen waved his hand.

After watching the two leave, Ling Chen himself also took a Dragon Ascending Pill.

He could only cultivate at night, so taking it at this time would have the best effect.

In the room.

Ling Chen was sitting cross-legged at the center of the Spirit Gathering Array.

"Boom boom boom!"

He directly crushed ten top-grade Primordial Spirit Stones.

The overwhelmingly rich and pure spiritual energy instantly surrounded him.

"Night Moon Saint Body!"

Ling Chen shouted in a low voice, immediately activating the Night Moon Saint Body.

"Boom!"

As if forming a vortex around Ling Chen, spiritual energy crazily surged into his body.

The spiritual energy, upon entering his body, was instantly refined into Spiritual Power, converging toward the Primordial Pill in his Dantian.

At this rate, it was more than three times faster than before!

One should know that he had just taken the Dragon Ascending Pill and its effects had not yet fully manifested.

Even so, the increase in cultivation speed was already so substantial, which shows how miraculous the Dragon Ascending Pill truly is!

For the next half month, Ling Chen cultivated desperately at night to enhance his Spiritual Power, spent most of the daytime practicing the mysterious Stellar Blade Realm, and a smaller portion of time to advance his Divine Soul.

After fifteen days, Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power level had actually advanced to the early stages of the fourth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Although the Stellar Blade Realm had not seen much advancement, he felt that the communication with the sword had become smoother.

Even the power of the Stellar Blade had increased quite a bit from before.

As for the Divine Soul Realm, there was no change.

He was already at the initial stage of transformation.

Ling Wu and Xu Lin, too, found the miracle of these two pills and cultivated tirelessly.

The effects were equally remarkable.

Ling Wu had already successfully cultivated two medium-grade Heavenly Spirit Techniques that Ling Chen had taught her.

Even the high-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique had made some initial progress.

As for cultivation level, Ling Wu’s improvement was even more terrifying.

Her Ice and Fire Saint Body allowed her to cultivate faster than others.

Now, with the assistance of the Dragon Ascending Pill, she had astonishingly advanced from the mid-second layer of the Primordial Pill Realm to the early fourth layer within just half a month.

She had reached the same realm as Ling Chen.

As for Xu Lin, the increase in strength was not as noticeable.

Even with the Dragon Ascending Pill enhancing his cultivation speed, he ultimately could not break through his bottleneck. Therefore, he remained stuck at the late stage of the fourth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm.

However, his understanding of the Arrow Heart had improved significantly.

He had reached the point where he could occasionally communicate with the arrow.

Of course, the success rate was very low.

Roughly around one percent.

But this was enough to thrill Xu Lin.

Such progression even surprised Liu Qingcang.

Xu Lin was essentially starting from scratch with learning arrow techniques.

Ling Chen also gave a portion of the Dragon Ascending Pill and Enlightenment Heart Pill to Liu Qingcang.

As for the effects, he was unaware.

After all, he could not even see through Liu Qingcang’s true strength.

But in just fifteen days, the three of them had undergone tremendous changes.

They had progressed by leaps and bounds!

Especially Ling Wu.
