Shocking World War Emperor-Chapter 21 Map

The cultivation methods of spirit beasts differ from those of Cultivators in the Qi Condensation Realm.

Although spirit beasts also absorb nature's spiritual energy, they do not refine it into Spiritual Power; instead, they use it to temper their physical bodies, somewhat similar to the cultivation methods of humans in the Physical Body Realm.

Thus, when nature's spiritual energy enters the body of a spirit beast, it serves as nourishment for their physical body.

However, sometimes spirit beasts cannot fully use the absorbed nature's spiritual energy to temper their bodies. Over time, the leftover portion solidifies into something akin to stones and is stored away—these are known as Spirit Crystals.

Similarly to Spirit Crystals, there is another substance in the world called Spirit Stones.

Spirit Stones are formed from the accumulation and condensation of nature's spiritual energy.

For powerful Cultivators, Spirit Stones are essential.

After all, the spiritual energy in nature is too sparse, how could it compare to the solid manifestation of concentrated spiritual energy?

Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystals, while named differently, are essentially the same, being condensates of nature's spiritual energy.

The ones formed within spirit beasts are called Spirit Crystals, while the naturally formed ones are Spirit Stones.

A single Spirit Stone is usually equivalent to a hundred Gold Coins.

The price of a Spirit Crystal is even higher.

Because Spirit Crystals are rarer.

Only an extremely small number of high-level spirit beasts might produce Spirit Crystals.

Ling Chen didn't expect that a random third-tier spirit beast he casually killed for practice would actually yield such a treasure as a Spirit Crystal.

One must know that even if you strip all the valuable parts from a typical fourth-tier spirit beast, they wouldn't sell for fifty Gold Coins.

Overjoyed, Ling Chen quickly collected the Spirit Crystal.

Only he slightly regretted that he couldn't absorb the spiritual energy within the Spirit Crystal.

After that incident, Ling Chen began to act more frequently.

Although his main goal for entering the Endless Forest was to earn Cultivation Resources, using the spirit beasts to refine his combat skills seemed like a good choice as well.

By the end of the night, Ling Chen had hunted down thirteen third-tier spirit beasts.

Unfortunately, only that fiery tiger had a Spirit Crystal within its body.

However, through the battles with the spirit beasts, Ling Chen's control over his Spiritual Power greatly improved.

In the end, he could easily kill spirit beasts using only the Spiritual Power of a third-level Qi Condensation Realm Cultivator.

Before dawn, Ling Chen stopped hunting spirit beasts and started recovering his Spiritual Power.

As the morning light poured down, he found a cave to hide and rest.

Two hours later, Ling Chen was woken up by noise.

As he approached the cave entrance, he discovered that the group outside belonged to the younger generation of the Lin Family.

Guangling City had three renowned martial cultivation clans: the Su Family, the Lin Family, and the Ling Family.

There were a total of fifteen people outside, and the vast majority were young Cultivators at the third level of the Qi Condensation Realm.

There was also one individual who was a sixth-level Qi Condensation Realm youth.

The three great clans all had a tradition of leading new third-level Qi Condensation Realm Cultivators into the Endless Forest for experience every so often.

The Ling Family would probably do the same; it was just that Ling Chen did not know the specific timing, and given his rapid advancement in Cultivation, he had come alone.

The one speaking now was that sixth-level Qi Condensation Realm youth.

What the youth talked about mostly pertained to some key points of caution needed while training in the Endless Forest.

Ling Chen found what he heard to be very interesting.

He only knew that the Endless Spirit Sea was fraught with danger but didn't realize there were such techniques.

However, with his formidable strength, even with some lack of caution, he could still come out unscathed.

"Look, if we go a hundred miles west from here, we'll reach the gathering area for third-tier spirit beasts."

"This is our destination for this trip!"

"Can you see? These red dots indicate where there are more spirit beasts."

"Don't be afraid, either. Generally, third-tier spirit beasts have a sense of territory. They won't be as densely packed as the first and second-tier spirit beasts we previously encountered. Moreover, the stronger the spirit beast, the fewer of them there are. So, we can definitely go in deep and refine our skills."

The sixth-level Qi Condensation Realm youth pointed to a map as he explained.

"Oh, I see."

"Thanks for the guidance, cousin Xie Zhengyu!"

The crowd suddenly understood and thanked him in unison.

Lin Zhengyu nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, you also need to learn how to discern maps. Familiarize yourselves with the techniques I mentioned, and in two hours, we will head to that place."

"Yes."

The crowd immediately nodded in agreement.

"If only we had a map!"

Ling Chen pondered thoughtfully.

Ever since his failed awakening, the Ling Family didn't pay much attention to him. Who would tell him these things?

Furthermore, Ling Chen's cultivation level was increasing too rapidly, something beyond ordinary people's imagination. It only took him a few days to reach the third level of the Qi Condensation stage.

The cultivators outside calmed down, with the third-level cultivators all recalling the key points mentioned by Lin Zhengyu. Many of them began discussing in a low voice.

Ling Chen thought for a moment and decided to go out and get a map.

With a map in hand, his efficiency in hunting spirit beasts would greatly increase, and he wouldn't fall into too much danger.

"Bang bang!"

Ling Chen used hands and feet together, clearing away the covering at the entrance.

"Who's there?"

Lin Zhengyu called out sharply, his piercing gaze turning this way.

The third-level cultivators from the Lin Family also looked over tensely.

"It's me."

Ling Chen emerged from the cave, stood up, and showed his real face.

"Ling Chen?"

Lin Zhengyu had a look of astonishment on his face.

He never expected that Ling Chen, the so-called waste of the Ling Family, would actually appear here.

Previosly, Ling Chen was known throughout Guangling City as the haloed Son of a Spiritual Body, a household name.

Those third-level cultivators also appeared somewhat dazed.

Ling Chen patted his robe, shaking off the dust, and looked at Lin Zhengyu, smiling: "Um, could you give me a map? I'm willing to buy it with a Spirit Revitalizing Pill!"

"How did you get here?"

Lin Zhengyu countered with a question.

It was known that Ling Chen couldn't cultivate. In the Endless Forest, filled with numerous spirit beasts—even the first-order spirit beasts—were not something Ling Chen could handle!

Moreover, it seemed the Ling Family's team had only set out today and had not yet arrived!

"I walked over, how else?"

Ling Chen looked perplexed.

"You're really lucky!"

Lin Zhengyu gave Ling Chen a glance.

From the latter, he didn't sense the aura of a cultivator, so he thought Ling Chen was still in the Physical Body Realm!

Although Ling Chen was gradually shedding the name of being unable to cultivate in the Ling Family these past few days, this news had not reached the ears of the grassroots descendants of the Lin Family; only the higher-ups knew some.

Ling Chen found this rather bewildering; what did this have to do with luck?

He smiled and said: "Lin Zhengyu, I'll exchange one Spirit Revitalizing Pill for a map, what do you say?"

With a map, he would have a target, no need to wander aimlessly like a headless fly.

"You have a Spirit Revitalizing Pill?"

Lin Zhengyu was even more shocked.

A cultivation-incapable waste actually had a Spirit Revitalizing Pill? The Ling Family was treating this waste too well, weren't they?

"Yep. Give me a straight answer, will you exchange?"

Ling Chen's palm flipped, and a Spirit Revitalizing Pill appeared.

Lin Zhengyu's eyes revealed a hint of eagerness, and he smiled: "Exchange, why wouldn't I?"

He had many maps on him, all obtained from his family without spending any money.
