CHAPTER 662: CHAPTER 662: STRANGE UNCLE

Moreover, this is an attack of the lower-rank Emperor Spirit Technique level!

Even when Ling Chen deliberately reduced the power, the Spirit Array in the secret chamber trembled before successfully withstanding the assault of the petal river.

"Indeed!"

Excitement flickered in Ling Chen’s eyes.

The largest difference between him and a King was at the level of Spirit Arts.

Now, with his grasp of the fourth form of the Green Lotus Sword Manual, Green Lotus Flowing Flower, he could even fight a one-star King who cultivated Emperor Spirit Techniques.

He might even emerge victorious!

"However, I can’t use this fourth form multiple times!"

Ling Chen sighed.

A single Green Lotus Flowing Flower consumes seventy-two streams of Green Lotus Sword Qi.

He only has a total of seven hundred twenty-nine streams of Green Lotus Sword Qi within him, at most he can use it ten times.

"I am too greedy!"

Immediately, Ling Chen let it go.

Ordinary Kings can’t even execute an Emperor Spirit Technique.

Being able to do so is already incredibly fortunate!

Yet he still fancied using this Spirit Art as easily as drinking water and eating food; it’s simply too greedy.

"It seems, I must continue cultivating the Undying Star Physique!"

Ling Chen thought to himself.

His own weakness was that the Sword Qi River in his Dantian could only contain seven hundred twenty-nine streams of Green Lotus Sword Qi.

If his physical body were stronger, it could contain even more Green Lotus Sword Qi.

Although Green Lotus Sword Qi has the effect of tempering the Dantian, enabling the cultivation of the Undying Sword Body with it,

the effect is ultimately too weak.

Furthermore, his power has increased too fast, and the Undying Sword Body simply can’t keep up.

As for the Undying Star Physique, he has only cultivated it to the fourth level, his physical strength is comparable to the third level of the Palace Mansion Realm.

For others, that might be very powerful.

But for Ling Chen, it’s too weak.

Now, the enhancement provided by the Undying Star Physique to Ling Chen was growing weaker and weaker.

"The fourth level of the Undying Star Physique requires the Essence Blood of a King Spiritual Beast level Immortal Beast, that’s quite difficult to find!"

Ling Chen pondered.

He knew of two Immortal Beasts, one was the Nine-Tailed Immortal Fox, and the other was the Howling Moon Sky Wolf.

The only one he knew was Luo Luo, the Nine-Tailed Immortal Fox.

But now, he had no clue where Luo Luo was!

Since their parting in Guangling City, she had vanished without a trace.

"I wonder if the Essence Blood of the Azure Divine Bird could work?"

A thought suddenly occurred to Ling Chen.

He couldn’t find an Immortal Beast, but there was a Divine Beast at the Star Pavilion!

Moreover, the Azure Divine Bird Xiao Qing was at the level of a King Spiritual Beast!

With this thought, Ling Chen left the secret chamber, preparing to head towards the Dragon Vein in the back mountain.

To get to the cave in the back mountain, one must pass through a Spirit Array.

Therefore, Ling Chen first visited Pavilion Master Liu Xiao.

"You’re coming out of seclusion so soon?"

Seeing Ling Chen’s arrival, Liu Xiao expressed surprise.

At this moment, those nine newly-appointed Kings were all in seclusion, pondering the gains from their battles!

"Mhm."

Ling Chen replied with a faint smile: "I wish to continue cultivating in the Dragon Vein."

His strength exceeded that of a one-star King by far, such a level of battle was too weak for him.

It couldn’t possibly provide him with any insights.

The main reason for his participation this time was because of the special sensation he felt from the Green Lotus Sword Manual.

"No problem."

Liu Xiao nodded his head.

He flipped his hand, and a Jade Scroll appeared.

"By holding this Jade Scroll, you can come and go without hindrance!"

Liu Xiao passed over the Jade Scroll.

Ever since the Azure Divine Bird designated the Dragon Vein as a forbidden zone, he had been refining this Jade Scroll.

That Divine Bird was not one to be offended.

Now that Ling Chen has a good relationship with the Azure, he was happy to lend a hand.

He owed Ling Chen a favor.

And later on, as the Azure grew stronger, surely it would help his Star Pavilion for the sake of Ling Chen.

"Great! Thank you so much, Pavilion Master!"

Ling Chen took it, once again giving Liu Xiao a respectful bow.

"Don’t mention it."

Liu Xiao said.

Then, with a solemn expression, he added, "Ling Chen, you must be careful yourself. It’s better to have a slower cultivation speed than to be greedy for quick results and act rashly."

Cultivating too fast is not a good thing.

If the foundation is not stable, it can affect future achievements.

Given Ling Chen’s exceptional talent, he did not wish for Ling Chen to fail to reach the pinnacle of cultivation!

"I understand!"

Ling Chen nodded.

He did not visit the Dragon Vein for cultivation purposes this trip.

Of course, to save some trouble, that’s what he claimed.

If others found out that he was going to the Azure Divine Bird for its essence blood, the Pavilion Master would have stopped him at once.

That’s a Divine Beast for heaven’s sake!

Daring to covet a Divine Beast—wasn’t that simply courting death?

...

In the Dragon Vein, his father Ling Tianxing, Ling Wu, Ji Wuya, and Liu Qingcang were cultivating.

They were not using the Spiritual Fish for cultivation but making use of the Spiritual Energy in the Dragon Vein.

Such Spiritual Energy was already enough for them!

Meanwhile, Xiao Qing was consuming Spiritual Fish to cultivate.

"Xiao Qing, want to take a break?"

Ling Chen walked over with a smile.

Xiao Qing opened its mouth to gulp down the Spiritual Fish on the ground, then looked at Ling Chen and nodded, "Okay!"

Despite being a Divine Beast, having to catch Spiritual Fish for Ling Chen, an ordinary mortal, was quite a loss of face for a Divine Beast.

A man and a bird sat by the shore.

Xiao Qing’s belly was round and bulging due to having eaten a good number of Spiritual Fish.

It needed time to digest the Spiritual Energy.

A jade pot appeared out of thin air in Ling Chen’s hand as his storage ring flashed.

Then, Ling Chen took out two jade cups and filled them up.

A strange, fragrant aroma spread through the air.

"That smells good; what is this?"

Xiao Qing’s eyes immediately lit up.

"Wine!"

Ling Chen picked up one of the jade cups and, with a flick of his right hand, a stream of Spiritual Power carried the other cup to Xiao Qing: "Would you like to taste?"

"Sure!"

Since its birth, Xiao Qing had always lived here.

It had consumed nothing but nature’s spiritual energy.

Where had it ever seen such fragrantly scented alcohol?

Opening its mouth, it unleashed a powerful suction force and drank in the wine.

"Not bad!"

Xiao Qing praised.

Ling Chen simply smiled faintly, drank his own wine, and filled up both their cups.

This wine was called Alcohol Immortal.

It was obtained by Ling Chen from Lord Yan Huang.

It was said to be a wine frequently consumed by members of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan outside the clan.

On the Jiuzhou continent, it was extremely famous.

Over the next month, Ling Chen spent every day here.

He rarely cultivated.

Most of the time, he spent advising Ling Wu and the other four on their cultivation.

Whenever the Azure Divine Bird rested, he would take out Alcohol Immortal and invite it to drink.

Apart from liquor, Ling Chen also took out some Spirit Fruits and various kinds of roasted spirit beast meat.

After a while, the Azure Divine Bird started to feel embarrassed.

It was eating Ling Chen’s food without giving anything in return to Ling Chen.

Therefore, it began offering some of the Spiritual Fish it caught to Ling Chen.

However, Ling Chen refused to accept them.

For thirty days, Ling Chen presented the Azure Divine Bird with a variety of delicacies.

This made the Azure Divine Bird feel quite uneasy at heart.

However, Ling Chen was very patient, like a strange uncle tempting a little child.

On the thirty-first day.

Ling Chen left the Dragon Vein instead.

This immediately made the Azure Divine Bird anxious.

Over the past thirty days, it had unwittingly formed a habit.

Not having a little wine every day, it always felt as if something was left undone, a persistent itch in its heart.
