CHAPTER 671: CHAPTER 416: NINE YANG TRUE SEED!

Wang Zhengyi looked at this pile of Wine Worm Fruits, his eyes glistened with desire, but he wasn’t greedy: "I provide the information, the two of you do the work; let’s not beat around the bush, let’s split it evenly!"

In this adventure, it seemed like Yan Chuan and Chen Ze did all the work, but in fact, the information was key; it was the foundation.

If Yan Chuan and Chen Ze didn’t have Wang Zhengyi’s intelligence, the vast expanse of Nanyue Lake would make it impossible for them to find the Alcohol Worm Tree.

Conversely, Wang Zhengyi was different.

Without Yan Chuan and Chen Ze’s assistance, he could still steal a few when the Golden Vulture left, or wait until he achieved Innate Dao to seize them.

By comparison, it becomes clear who was indispensable.

Wang Zhengyi held the crucial information yet only took a third of the share, which was actually not much.

"Sounds good."

Yan Chuan laughed.

As the saying goes, ’poverty and meanness strain all marriages’ (modern interpretation, not the original meaning). The same often applies to friendships. While there are rare and precious connections formed through adversity, it’s more common for those who are not wealthy to be calculative.

Yet, look at Yan Chuan, Chen Ze, and Wang Zhengyi—

Yan Chuan achieved Innate Dao at twenty-seven.

Chen Ze achieved Innate Dao at twenty-five.

Wang Zhengyi had two Avatars, the ’Alligator Beast’ and the ’Monkey King.’

All three had promising futures and were focused on higher realms, uninterested in counting the immediate gains.

Compared to short-term benefits, they valued long-lasting friendships more.

Thus,

The spoils were divided smoothly.

"Five Hundred-Year-Old Wine Worm Fruits!"

"And these—"

Wang Zhengyi received a small pile of Wine Worm Fruits. Even the low-level Initial-stage Wine Worm Fruits were useful to him, let alone having five Hundred-Year-Old Wine Worm Fruits as a base, which greatly pleased Wang Zhengyi: "With these Wine Worm Fruits, I will definitely achieve Innate Dao within a month!"

Chen Ze achieved Dao!

Yan Chuan achieved Dao!

Situ Fei achieved Dao!

Now—

"Finally, it’s my turn!"

Wang Zhengyi was full of ambition.

Yan Chuan took out twenty taels of ’Jade Honey’ from his bosom and handed it to Wang Zhengyi: "This ’Jade Honey’ is poisonous, be careful to refine it after taking it. It contains rich vitality and Primordial Qi, which can give you a helping hand."

"Thank you, Brother Yan!"

Without a second thought, Wang Zhengyi accepted it. Then, he clasped his hands toward Yan Chuan and Chen Ze, striding away to prove his Dao.

Before leaving, he left behind a few pages detailing all the Innate Beast Kings and rare Great Medicines along with their locations that Wang Zhengyi had obtained through the Iron-Arm Monkey Group.

"All set!"

Yan Chuan quickly skimmed through it and soon identified the next target, but wasn’t in a hurry. He smiled at Chen Ze and said, "Let’s test the effects of the ’Wine Worm Fruit’ first."

The battle with the Golden Vulture made the only True Seed in his body erupt. Without the True Seed as a trump card, Yan Chuan felt uneasy. Fortunately, ever since he left the Tan Valley Royal City and condensed his first True Seed, he had been continually consuming ’Jade Honey’. The vitality flourished, not only advancing his cultivation rapidly but also bringing the second True Seed to the verge of condensation.

"Set out after condensing the True Seed!"

Moreover—

"Since I left the Tan Valley Royal City, I’ve been earnestly comprehending the ’Nine Yang Divine Skill’, and today it finally bore fruit!"

...

"The so-called ’Elixir’ is not about color; red and yellow can’t achieve it. The so-called ’Elixir’ is not about sweetness and harmony; these can’t congeal it. Elixir is indeed the Dantian. The Dantian has three parts: Upper Field Divine Union, Central Field Qi Mansion, and Lower Field Essence Area. Essence within produces Qi, Qi is located in the Middle Dantian. Within Qi is born the Spirit, Spirit is in the Upper Dantian. True Water and True Qi combine to become Essence, which is located in the Lower Dantian."

"From the Kidney arises Qi, in the Qi lies True Oneness Water. Allowing the Water to return to the Lower Dantian, the Essence nurtures the Spirit Root, naturally creating Qi. From the Heart arises Liquid, in the Liquid lies True Yang Qi. Allowing the Qi to return to the Central Dantian, the Qi nurtures the spirit source, and the Spirit is naturally born. Gathering Spirit to become Spirit, merging Spirit into Dao, to return to the Upper Dantian, and then transcend."

...

Yan Chuan first took ’Jade Honey’, followed by ’Initial-stage Wine Worm Fruit’, feeling slightly tipsy, he began the "Divine Light Scripture". Jiang Bianliu comprehended the method of ’True Seed’ from the "Divine Light Scripture", which is essentially a variant of the ’Three Elixirs’. True Qi circulates, amassing the medicinal power in the body difficult to refine into Primordial Qi, while also collecting the continuously leaking Primordial Qi from the body, condensing it into an elixir, which is the ’True Seed’.

"The Dantian includes Upper, Central, Lower; the return of what has passed is called ’Returning Pill’."

"The principle of Returning Pill is profound, with small Returning Pill, great Returning Pill, Seven Cycle Returning Elixir, Nine Revolutions Rejuvenation Pill, Complete Liquid Returning Pill, Jade Liquid Returning Pill, with Lower Elixir returning to Upper Elixir, Upper Elixir returning to Central Elixir, Mid Elixir returning to Lower Elixir, using Yang returning to Yin Elixir, Yin returning to Yang Elixir... not just different in name but also different in timing, making the approach vary."

"True Seed."

"It can be called ’True Essence Returning Pill’.

Yan Chuan consumed the Initial-stage Wine Worm Fruit, feeling slightly tipsy; in this state, of Drunken Life and Dream Death, his thoughts leaped, and as he cultivated the "Divine Light Scripture", he felt as if divine assistance was at hand, often discovering previously inconceivable and unnoticeable hidden corners.

Finding what is lacking and making up for it!

And unconsciously entering a ’Daoism’ state in intoxication, with True Qi flowing faster, the cultivation technique operating more smoothly, progressing rapidly.

Taking Jade Honey, Primordial Qi began to emerge, with another True Seed gradually solidifying and forming.

A True Seed was swallowed whole!

Only then did Yan Chuan feel at ease.

The effect of ’Initial-stage Wine Worm Fruit’ faded away, and Yan Chuan exited the slightly tipsy state, looking up at the sun: "Two hours."

So fast!

In a slightly tipsy state, time flew by. Yan Chuan had no sense of it. Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, even though he was vigorously practicing, consuming the medicinal power: "If I let it flow naturally, I could be tipsy all day!"

Drunken Life and Dream Death!

How blissful this is!

Yet also terrifying!

"The Golden Vulture was immersed in this state for ten whole years. Although its cultivation and skills soared, it was also trapped by the Alcohol Worm Tree, becoming an ’Alcoholic’, a ’Rotten Drunkard’, with all its time stolen!"
