Chapter 95 is just a trial card?
Chi Mianxi, with the most carefree personality, immediately beamed with joy when Chen Chunan said it was still him.
He then pulled out the large, ripped glass jade tablet with a bitter expression: "You have to take responsibility!"
Chen Chunan knew that the weapon had been damaged while protecting him from a divine power, so he immediately said, "I've recently made some progress in refining magical artifacts, let me help you refine it again!"
Chi Mianxi immediately flashed a bright smile again: "Hmph, that's more like it!"
The Nascent Soul True Monarchs were jolted awake by the two of them.
The four exchanged glances and then solemnly said, "Fellow Daoist Chu Nan, we will forever remember your kindness today!"
Chen Chunan accepted it calmly.
This is indeed a favor. He was originally an outsider who just wanted to find a place for his family to settle down, but he was unexpectedly drawn into it.
First, they devised a plan to win over Chi Mianxi, then they got the dragon to willingly turn against them, and now they've also destroyed the viper.
It goes without saying what Jiangzhou would be like without him.
As the group was bowing, Jian Chen emerged from the water, carrying a huge black snakehead fish in his hand.
Jian Chen laughed heartily, "That black snakehead tried to ambush me in the river, little did he know that I had mastered the Heavenly River Sword Qi, making me extremely skilled in naval warfare. I chased him for three thousand miles and finally slew him!"
Seeing that the others seemed completely unsurprised and hadn't seen the viper's corpse, Jian Chen asked curiously, "What's wrong with you guys? Did the viper run away?"
The Daoist Drunkard said, "He didn't escape. Fellow Daoist Chu Nan killed him with a single blow, leaving no trace of his body."
"No trace of the remains?"
Jian Chen's eyes widened instantly. He remembered that the true form of the viper was over three hundred feet long!
No trace of the remains?
He couldn't help but gasp, staring at Chen Chunan in shock, "What kind of magic weapon could possess such power? Could it be a celestial treasure?"
Chen Chunan laughed and said, "It is a divine power I have mastered. It looks like a staff, but it is actually Qi!"
Upon hearing that it was a supernatural power, not only Jian Chen gasped for breath, but the other four also started to gasp.
What kind of supernatural power can one cultivate with the Golden Elixir to have such great strength?
However, the group wisely refrained from asking further questions.
Chen Chunan, who could easily kill a viper with a single blow, now had the strength to stand on equal footing with the four of them.
The four of them were even slightly inferior to Chen Chunan, after all, the viper that the four of them combined couldn't defeat was easily killed with a single blow.
The Wine Daoist and Xue Yue had already upgraded Chen Chunan from the Lesser Friend Realm to the Daoist Friend Realm.
Seeing that the others were silent, Chen Chunan said, "As the saying goes, evil must be eradicated completely. Those minor demons with heavy karma will be handed over to the disciples of the three sects. They must be made to eliminate the demon scourge in Pinghe."
The Daoist nodded and said, "We have already made arrangements, fellow Daoist, please rest assured."
Chen Chunan nodded slightly upon hearing this, then looked at Chi Mianxi and said, "I kept my word when I said I would make you the master of the Pingjiang water veins. From now on, you will be the true Dragon King of Pingjiang."
"Great! I almost forgot. Oh right, you fix this for me. I'm going to get the water vein authority now!"
Chi Mianxi cheered and tossed the broken glass and jade tablet to Chen Chunan.
Then it revealed its true form, plunged into the river, and prepared to reap its spoils.
The group had no objections to Chen Chunan's direct arrangements.
After making the arrangements, Chen Chunan could no longer resist the urge to go into seclusion. He took one last lingering look at the water demon that had disappeared into the Pingjiang River before leaving.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait. You can keep this ape-fellow Daoist's corpse with you; I will protect it and it will remain undamaged."
Han Yuqiu's sudden words startled Chen Chunan, who then looked at the ape-like body floating in the air.
"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist. I've gained some insight, and I'll head back now!"
Chen Chunan retracted his ape body, and with a burst of golden light, he vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.
The Wine Daoist stared in the direction Chen Chunan had disappeared, his face a complex mix of emotions: "Just who is this person? He's so unfathomable. I thought Fellow Daoist Han was a genius seen only once every few thousand years, but now it turns out there are people even more extraordinary than him. We've truly been a thousand years too old!"
Han Yuqiu smiled wryly. If these people knew Chen Chunan's real age, their jaws would probably drop in astonishment.
...
Cold Moon Cave
Chen Chunan sat cross-legged in his small courtyard.
"Heart Monkey, Heart Monkey, you only returned my true feelings back then. But I still don't quite believe you when you say you are Zhenru. Zhenru shouldn't be a second personality, you're more like my second personality."
"What nonsense are you spouting? How could I, Old Sun, possibly have a second personality? True nature is true nature, and one should act according to one's true nature. Your previous actions, which can be described as acting according to one's true nature, have long been confined by the rules and regulations of your past and present lives. If you want to attain the Golden Elixir, you still have a long way to go."
"Then how can you talk to me?"
"I am you, and you are me! You're not talking to me; you're talking to your own nature. Alright, I've exchanged all my previous experiences for this one moment of enlightenment—the wondrous existence within emptiness. Why aren't you experiencing it? What are you wasting your time for?"
"What? This state isn't permanent?"
"Tch! What a pipe dream! Only by attaining the Golden Elixir can one achieve eternal existence in the realm of emptiness and wondrous existence."
If you don't study Wukong, Wuneng, or Wujing, how can you expect to attain true emptiness and wondrous existence?
This state can only last for another three-quarters of an hour at most! Why don't you take this opportunity to comprehend the wonders of the Five Elements gathering and refine the divine power of the Ruyi Jingu Bang?
what?
Isn't this just a trial card?
It's a short-term trial card with only 45 minutes left!
Even with Chen Chunan's current state of mind, which was truly in harmony with the situation, he couldn't help but be slightly speechless.
But he also knew that the opportunity was too good to miss, so he immediately sat down and began to comprehend the way of emptiness and existence.
The gathering of the five elements is a skill that should only be comprehended when the elixir is transformed into a golden elixir through nine cycles, but now he can observe it at his leisure.
"Previously, I used spiritual energy as the main material and the five elements of acquired energy as the auxiliary material when I practiced the Ruyi Jingu Bang. The supernatural power was not complete. Otherwise, with the Void and Wonderful Existence that is close to the realm of celestial beings, if I really used my full strength, I would probably have wiped out the entire Pingjiang with one blow."
Chen Chunan's heart stirred, and he once again gathered the power of the Five Elements and the Qi of the Pill, and began to forge the Ruyi Jingu Bang once more.
For a moment, he forgot about time and practiced for a full quarter of an hour until the state of emptiness and wondrous existence disappeared, only then did he come back to his senses.
"Gathering and reversing the five elements, once the work is complete, one can become a Buddha or an immortal. I've finally grasped three-tenths of it! Subduing dragons and tigers is also a complete success! Now the golden elixir can be solidified to the third stage. However, this is a slow and steady process; one cannot rush it, or one will not be able to ascend to Mount Ling."
Chen Chunan had been on edge lately because of the viper incident.
With his mind suddenly relaxed, he fell into a deep sleep.
The monkey chuckled and stepped out of the body again.
"Wukong, Wukong, how can you be Wukong if you don't become a pilgrim? You insist on prioritizing your family and are tied down here, so I'll go and be that pilgrim for you. This staff is becoming more and more satisfactory to me, so I'll take it with me. No need to thank me, I'm a living Lei Feng!"
Having said that, Xin Yuan took out the ape body from Chen Chunan's storage ring, then merged his spirit with the body, and disappeared into the darkness once again in a flash.
