Chapter 13 (2/2)

“Over here.”

A feeble voice was heard, and only then did Long Chen look at the Lingxi sword which was lying beside him on top of a huge rock. The scene of him fainting was still vivid for Long Chen. And as he saw Lingxi, his heart could not help but make him feel closer to her. The astounding beauty that Lingxi had displayed, he had all remembered in his heart.

Lingxi’s voice seemed to be feeble, so he was worried and anxiously asked: “Are you still okay?”

“I’m fine……But it is really tiring, I don’t even have the strength to speak anymore. Since you have already woken up, I will be going to get a good sleep. If you disturb me, then I will take your life……Ugh……”

During the part where she was finishing her sentence, she was already in a half conscious state.

“It hasn’t been that long and you’re already sleeping, you are indeed a pig.”

Long Chen smiled and scolded her at the same time. However he thought about the fact that this maiden not only saved him, but also endured her exhaustion and feebleness and did not sleep while he was in a coma.

“This compa.s.sion, how can I not understand? Oh well, this girl is also all by herself. So I, Long Chen, will properly repay her in the future!”

Long Chen already knew that Lingxi’s physical body had been mysteriously destroyed by this steel sword, after which her soul had been absorbed into it.

“That Phantom Star Wolf most likely was beaten by Lingxi and it retreated. Right now I have gotten two stalks of Enchanted Hill Ginseng, so this is the right time to bring my level up.”

After thinking of this, he observed his surroundings. And after making sure it was safe, only then did he take the Enchanted Hill Ginseng out and consume one stalk. Very soon, Long Chen could feel that a wave of scorching strength rushed towards his dantian.

“This hot energy, should be the spiritual medicinal essence. I must take this opportunity to refine this energy and convert it into Qi.”

Time pa.s.ses by.

An hour later, the herbal energy from a stalk of Enchanted Hill Ginseng had already been completely consumed. Long Chen frowned and then said: “Enchanted Hill Ginseng is a medium grade spiritual medicine. Just one may not be enough for me to have enough Qi to break through the fourth Dragon Vein, so I will consume another stalk. My enlightenment of the [Celestial Core Technique] has made my veins more resilient, so I can definitely endure this huge herbal energy!”

Thinking of this he consumed the other stalk.

A very dense herbal smell very soon began to diffuse. Long Chen hurriedly refined it and the Qi in his dantian was growing more and more, gradually reaching to a critical point, and even exceeding it.

“All is complete, this time it will allow me to rush into the fourth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm. Every three levels in the Dragon Pulse Realm there is a new threshold. Now I have entered the fourth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm, this will definitely allow my strength to increase once again. If I were to meet with that Phantom Star Wolf again, I would at least have a chance to resist!

The vast Qi was as if a torrential flood surged towards the fourth Dragon Vein. The breakthrough to the fourth Dragon Vein was several times more difficult than the third Dragon Vein. On Long Chen’s first attempt he had met with strong resistance immediately.

“Cultivation in the Dragon Pulse Realm is indeed very challenging. I have acquired my father’s Qi, as well as 2 Enchanted Hill Ginseng. To think that I still cannot break through…… However, I haven’t given it my all yet!”

Gritting his teeth, Long Chen mobilised all his Qi and then grandly rumbled and charged towards the fourth Dragon Vein. A moment later the cry of a Dragon resounded from within his body.

An hour later, there was a loud boom and a surge of strong energy fleeted towards his four limbs. Long Chen stood up and his eyes filled with vigor.

Clenching his fist, he felt his own formidable strength.

“So this is the fourth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm. It is indeed strong, but Yang Zhan that fellow even with this might had actually lost to me, he really is trash.”

He looked towards the Lingxi sword and said: “Lingxi rashly emerged from the sword, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy for her to wake up. There aren’t many days left before the intra-family compet.i.tion, so I mustn’t waste any more time and take the opportunity to cultivate the [Celestial Core Technique] while she is sleeping. And after stabilising my condition in the fourth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm, I shall try again to break through the fifth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm.

As his ability had seen some improvements, Long Chen’s fl.u.s.tered heart by now had calmed down. He sat on the ground, and continued to practice cultivation.
