I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 152 - 114: Devouring Spirit Root, Second Tier!

Chapter 152: Chapter 114: Devouring Spirit Root, Second Tier!

But it was just a fleeting moment...

Thinking about the cultivation progress of the Second Tier Devouring Spirit Root, Lin Chen felt a surge of excitement.

Without much hesitation, he activated the secret technique and began to absorb the surrounding Spirit Stones.

With just a thought, thousands of Spirit Stones transformed into precise energy and surged into Lin Chen’s Spirit Root.

During this process, Lin Chen’s Spirit Root was also quietly evolving.

In the blink of an eye, the night passed.

By the next morning, the room was no longer piled with mountains of Spirit Stones, instead, there were piles of powder.

Lin Chen sat cross-legged, unmoving, as steady as a mountain, absorbing the energy of the last few thousand Spirit Stones...

Finally, the Devouring Spirit Root completed its evolution.

In Lin Chen’s perception, the Spiritual Energy generated by the Spirit Gathering Array became exceptionally lively.

He carefully experienced this for a long time before opening his eyes.

"Devouring Spirit Root, Second Stage... finally achieved!"

Taking out a pile of Spirit Stones, Lin Chen cultivated for a while, testing his current cultivation speed.

An hour later, Lin Chen joyfully said:

"The cultivation speed has increased by about two to three times... with my current cultivation speed, it should be comparable to a Top Grade Earth Spirit Root, right?"

Lin Chen felt invigorated.

If True Spirit Root cultivators are one in ten thousand geniuses, then Earth Spirit Root cultivators are truly one in a million!

With such qualifications, let alone within Yanlai Realm and Changchun Sect.

Even in the best sect of Qing State, Wenda Sect, he could be called a genius.

"At this current cultivation speed, within two months, I can advance from the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment to Foundation Establishment Perfection!"

Lin Chen thought quietly.

"Besides the increase in cultivation speed, the Second Stage of the Devouring Spirit Root also gave me much more robust True Essence!"

He carefully felt the changes in the True Essence Magical Power within his Dantian.

Originally, his True Essence Magical Power was considered strong, with the perfect Foundation Establishment supporting it, the True Essence of the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment was probably already comparable to Foundation Establishment Perfection.

"Although the First Stage of the Devouring Spirit Root could also strengthen the True Essence, the effect was far from being as good as it is now!"

"But the Second Stage of Devouring Spirit Root has increased the True Essence by at least fifty percent!"

Lin Chen reined in his emotions, feeling the dense True Essence on the flawless Foundation Establishment Pill Platform.

"Not yet reaching the Fake Pill Realm’s total True Essence... but far exceeds ordinary Foundation Establishment Perfection!"

"Perhaps, upon reaching Foundation Establishment Perfection, my True Essence could rival that of a cultivator in the Fake Pill Realm?"

Lin Chen speculated a little.

For the next few days, Lin Chen stayed peacefully in the Martial Arts Palace cultivating.

Thousands of the new Five Thunders were produced, which Lin Chen stored in his Nanobag.

As the countdown to transcending came to zero, Lin Chen smoothly returned to the Cultivation Realm.

...

He returned to the inn in Jade Belt City.

Lin Chen counted the remaining Spirit Stones and resources.

"Although Magical Treasures and Pills are abundant... Spirit Stones have once again become scarce!"

"Only a little over ten thousand left..."

Lin Chen felt a bit helpless.

With the Devouring Spirit Root reaching the Second Stage and the cultivation speed increasing several folds.

The daily consumption of Spirit Stones had reached a terrifying level—

Three hundred Spirit Stones!

This means, cultivating for a month might cost ten thousand Spirit Stones.

These ten thousand Spirit Stones are enough for a Core Formation Cultivator to cultivate for a year...

"Sigh, in the end, I still need to earn more Spirit Stones."

Thinking of this, Lin Chen decided to stay in Jade Belt City for a while longer.

Having come this far, he naturally intended to extract every bit of value from the city.

Thus, over the next half month, Lin Chen stayed in the inn cultivating steadily.

Each day, he only needed Long Ba and Feng Jiu to go out and sell pills and magical artifacts.

After half a month, his accumulated Spirit Stones finally reached thirty thousand.

Enough for his needs for the next hundred days of cultivation.

At the same time, half a month of cultivation also allowed Lin Chen’s cultivation to advance from the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment to the Ninth Layer.

One step further, and it would be Foundation Establishment Perfection, ready to prepare for Core Formation...

"The news of the three Tribulation Cultivators’ demise has spread throughout the marketplaces of Yanlai City."

"It’s time to prepare to return to the sect, to trade in the black market and Guangyuan Town..."

Lin Chen thought quietly.

As time passed, the opening of the Ancient Ruins mentioned by Jiang Liqian seemed to be drawing ever nearer.

The next morning, Lin Chen left the city, summoned his Flying Sword, and prepared to return to Changchun Sect.

After flying for a while, Lin Chen suddenly felt something was amiss.

Looking at the familiar mountains and forests around him, he murmured:

"Why does this place seem familiar... seems like I just passed it? Am I... lost?"

Lin Chen furrowed his brow tightly. His memory was excellent, and he was not a directionally challenged person, coupled with the cultivator’s Divine Sense perception, he should not be lost.

"It’s not right, Changchun Sect should be in the southeast direction..."

Lin Chen paused in place for a moment, reconfirmed the direction, and continued sword flight.

Half an hour later, Lin Chen felt he had traversed several mountains, should have traveled hundreds of miles.

But, he returned to the place where he was lost before.

"Really lost? No... is this an illusion array?"

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, the sensation of going in circles could only be explained by an illusion array...

"Has my identity been exposed, thus being targeted? Is someone setting up an illusion array to assassinate me?"

Lin Chen glanced around, but in his Divine Sense perception, there was no gaze of a cultivator prying.

So, he attempted several times, made basic markings, and spent several hours.

Until he returned to that mountain again, Lin Chen slightly frowned:

"This Changchun Sect can’t be returned to for now..."

"But, the range of this illusion array is so large? In that case, let’s try another direction..."

Lin Chen changed direction and prepared to return to Jade Belt City first.

Yet, he only flew for a few minutes before he saw Jade Belt City.

Controlling the Flying Sword to descend slowly, Lin Chen walked into Jade Belt City.

Seeing the bustling scene in the city, the passing cultivators, unaware mortals, Lin Chen felt increasingly uncertain.

"So, for an entire day, I haven’t left the range of this Jade Belt City?"
