Chapter 115: 077: Even if coincidence becomes cause and effect, after all, chance is also accidental (Big Chapter seeks monthly ticket)_2 Chapter 115: 077: Even if coincidence becomes cause and effect, after all, chance is also accidental (Big Chapter seeks monthly ticket)_2 Any enemy stepping into it runs the risk of having the poisonous spores penetrate their body.
However, compared to controlling humans or cultivators, controlling ants is undoubtedly ten thousand times easier.
“The high-level Qi cultivation Dao method is truly extraordinary.
If this skill can be trained to a proficient level and cast instantly, its power will also increase significantly.
Currently, it is the first control-class spell I have mastered…”
Chen Dengming sensed the state of the poison gas in the courtyard and then dispelled the spiritual control.
All the spiritual energy immediately dispersed.
The poisonous spores disintegrated and dissipated as if they were like spore filaments, and the ants on the ground instantly returned to their previous state.
...
He walked towards the tree with a burst branch and cast a spell on the trunk, which was infected by poison and had shriveled.
Instantly, surrounding pure wood element spiritual energy converged, transforming into a vibrant green glow that enveloped the tree trunk.
The Skill of Transforming Decrepitude into Glory!
Soon, the poisoned and shriveled tree trunk regained its vitality, and even sprouted some green buds.
Chen Dengming looked at this effect with great satisfaction.
For the past month, he has been practicing the Skill of Transforming Decrepitude into Glory in conjunction with the Watery Yin Wood Poisonous Gu Skill, and it was not in vain.
The current effect has already made him quite satisfied.
However, the cost of this cultivation was that all seven or eight trees in the courtyard didn’t have many intact branches, and they had almost all been shaved bare.
More precisely, these trees resemble individuals covered in tumorous bumps rather than being cleanly shaven.
Just yesterday, he officially broke through to the ninth level of Qi cultivation.
His mana grew a lot, and the range of his spiritual might also expanded accordingly.
“Qi Cultivation Stage Nine Cultivator[Chen Dengming]
Lifespan: 83/238/397 (Actual Age/Consumption/Upper Limit)
Spiritual Root: Metal, Wood (Superior 0/100)
Martial Arts: ”Chen Family Martial Arts Compendium” (Great Perfection)
Dao Methods: “Gu Refining Chapter” (Master 67/100), “Three Elements Gathering Spirit Skill” (Ninth Layer 7/900), “Chen’s Dao Method Chapter” (Proficient 89/100), “Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill” (First Layer 78/100), “Water Shadow Wood Poison Gu Skill” (Beginner 46/100)”
After his power level upgraded, his lifespan upper limit extended by fifteen years as well.
On top of the high-level Qi cultivation Dao method he had newly learned, and various skills such as the Wood Escape Skill and the Skill of Transforming Decrepitude into Glory that had all levelled up through diligent practice and hard training, his lifespan upper limit was extended by another fifteen years.
Now that his lifespan upper limit has reached 397 years, he upgraded his panel again to his liking, displaying not only his actual age, but also included the “Roving Qi Transforming Gold Skill” and “the Skill of Transforming Decrepitude into Glory,” which had reached the proficient level, within the “Chen’s Dao Method Chapter”.
In this way, everything looked much more satisfactory.
“Now, the time I have to live is getting longer and longer.
The rumored foundation establishment cultivators have a lifespan of two hundred years, and I can still live for 159 years, which means I broke through to the ninth level of Qi cultivation when I was 41?”
Chen Dengming laughed in self-mockery, knowing that this might be self-deception.
In reality, he had lived for 83 years and was soon going to be 84.
What’s more, the Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill might consume his Essence, Qi and Spirit during cultivation, and it might possibly lead to lengthening of his bone-age as well.
If there is a wise man who could estimate one’s age via bone reading, they might be able to guess a frightening age of 238 years.
This has become a hidden worry in his heart.
He decided to find ways to resolve this worry before joining a sect.
Otherwise, joining a sect would be akin to committing suicide.
Chen Dengming flew to the three locations where Golden Silkworm Gu were being refined, and inspected them.
Then he examined the still-evolving Blood Centipede Gu and the Golden Silkworm Gu, deep in thought.
Now, 47 days have passed, and the birth of the three new Golden Silkworm Gu is only two days away.
However, the Blood Centipede Gu and the Golden Silkworm Gu have yet to complete their advancement, it seems they may need another seven or eight days.
Nevertheless, looking at the increasingly fierce and sinister breath of these two Gu, it is obvious the strength of both Gu has increased significantly.
Chen Dengming plans to wait another ten days.
Once the two precious Gu advance, he will set off to Absolute Forest City.
While searching for Qiangzi, he will inquire about how to join a sect there.
Absolute Forest City is considered the gateway to the Eastern Region.
Once Absolute Forest City is passed, it is the rich land of the Eastern Region.
Many Immortal Sects reside there.
Conveniently, during these ten days of leisure, he can reduce the intensity of his cultivation and purchase some food and necessities for the journey at the Moonlight Market.
As usual, Chen Dengming wore a green shirt over his high-level robe, held the Absorbing Breath Pearl in his mouth, and then left his residence.
So long had passed, it was certainly time to go and pick up the high-level magic artifact from the Ming family, along with his Ice Spirit Sword.
“Huh?
Brother Chen, you finally came out.
You’ve been in seclusion for quite a long time, did you break through?”
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Chen Dengming ran into Chu Xun who was loitering at the entrance and watering the flowers.
Chu Xun greeted him with a smile.
“Oh!
Fellow Daoist Chu, why are you so free today?
Not going out hunting?”
Chen Dengming casually responded with a smile, tactfully changing the subject and not answering the question about his breakthrough.
Chu Xun tossed away his watering can and came over with a smile, “The large amount of game that Brother Chen and I hunted last time was enough to last for a long while, so I have not been idle.
I have been cultivating all this while and only came out in the past couple of days…”
“Oh?”
Chen Dengming looked closely and saw that Chu Xun had made a breakthrough.
He had reached the sixth level of Qi cultivation.
Did he come over here deliberately to show off in front of him and see if he had also broken through?
He didn’t expose him, and nodded with a smile, “It’s good to practice diligently.
You should train more and strive to enter the advanced level of Qi cultivation as soon as possible.”
Chu Xun’s smile faltered, he coughed dryly and said, “What fellow Daoist said is right, but I think it’s fine, as long as I am willing to practice diligently, I will definitely break through quickly, just like this time…
I…”
