168: Chapter 168 Chen Qingyuan recovers

Chen Qingyuan also hadn't expected that there would be such an alchemy Genius within the Chen Clan he had established.

Immediately, a strong interest in Chen Jiancang arose in his heart.

"With such outstanding alchemy talent, if he can be cultivated into a third-order Alchemist or even a fourth-order Alchemist, perhaps this Old Ancestor can take another step forward on the path to longevity."

"Cough cough cough~"

However, just at this moment, Chen Qingyuan coughed rapidly, pulling at his wound, and blood instantly soaked through his green robe, leaving a patch of bloodstain on the lapel of his chest.

"Old Ancestor, your injury..." Chen Yinlong asked with a worried expression.

"It's fine."

Chen Qingyuan looked up and stopped Chen Yinlong's concern; he was clear about his injury, which was mainly due to his lifespan nearing its end and being severely wounded, making it difficult for his qi and blood to sustain him.

If he could replenish enough power of qi and blood, these injuries would heal on their own in not too long.

Without any hesitation, Chen Qingyuan directly took out a Blood Nourishing Muscle Generating Pill from the jade box and put it into his mouth.

The pill melted upon entering his mouth, and a vast power of qi and blood instantly exploded within Chen Qingyuan's body.

That power was like a surging tide, rapidly pouring into his Meridians and Acupoints towards various Acupoints within his body.

Chen Qingyuan quickly circulated his Cultivation Technique, guiding this power of qi and blood to flow orderly within his Meridians.

His originally dim Meridians, under the nourishment of this power of qi and blood, gradually regained vitality.

Chen Qingyuan could clearly feel that the Meridians that were broken due to his injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye under the infusion of the power of qi and blood.

As the power of qi and blood was continuously replenished, Chen Qingyuan's complexion gradually became rosy.

The wounds on his body no longer oozed blood but began to scab, and the signs of healing were very obvious.

His originally weak aura also became increasingly stable and powerful.

Chen Yinlong watched from the side, his eyes full of pleasant surprise.

This Second-Order Blood Nourishing Muscle Generating Pill indeed had an effect on the Old Ancestor's injuries.

"Good medicine! Excellent medicine!" Chen Qingyuan slowly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing within them, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

In fact, in the cultivation world, there is no lack of methods to replenish qi and blood, but most methods are evil and demonic means, such as the Blood Hidden Gate which has a method of extracting Cultivators' spiritual blood and refining it for their own use.

But most of these methods have drawbacks; once used, one will be surrounded by malevolent energy, which can not only make the Tao heart clouded but also potentially lead to a muddled mind.

Chen Qingyuan would absolutely not use such methods; he was on the verge of forming a Nascent Soul, and if his Tao heart were clouded, it would not be worth the loss.

Furthermore, special Cultivation Techniques and spiritual pills can also replenish qi and blood, but these methods are too rare, and the Chen Clan also doesn't have such Pill Formulas.

"This Chen Jiancang is truly the prodigy of my Chen Clan."

Chen Qingyuan couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Yinlong quickly said, "Old Ancestor, I have already decided to fully cultivate Chen Jiancang, provide him with ample resources, and help him break through to Foundation Establishment.

I believe that with his talent, he will definitely become a pillar of strength for my Chen Clan in the future."

Chen Qingyuan nodded and said, "Mm, this matter is very good.

The Chen Clan must cultivate him well and provide him with all necessary support.

When my injuries heal, I must personally meet this Chen Jiancang and reward him well."

Chen Qingyuan was very satisfied with Chen Yinlong's arrangements; with such excellent alchemy talent, if he could be cultivated to break through, the Chen Clan's Cultivators would no longer worry about high-grade spiritual pills in the future.

After all, high-grade spiritual pills have always been controlled by larger forces as strategic resources, and occasionally seeing some on the market would cause them to be driven up to a high price.

If Chen Jiancang could break through to become a high-grade Alchemist, the Chen Clan could save more resources in the future.

But they didn't know that Chen Jiancang's alchemy talent, unlike other Alchemists, didn't accumulate experience by refining more pills.

Instead, it was by planting spiritual plants, harvesting spiritual plants, and gaining corresponding experience.

At this time, Chen Yinlong said with regret and a sigh in his tone, "Old Ancestor, this Chen Jiancang not only has outstanding alchemy talent but has also made many contributions to the Chen Clan recently.

It's a pity that he is only a Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root, and the Chen Clan can at most provide for him to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"What, he is only a Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root?"

"This... giving him such excellent alchemy talent, yet only a Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root, this is truly heaven envying talent."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyuan couldn't help but feel regret.

If Chen Jiancang had Four Spiritual Root Aptitude, he would have enough confidence to cultivate him into a Golden Core Cultivator.

"But how could he be a Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root?"

Chen Qingyuan's expectations for Chen Jiancang instantly decreased significantly.

One must know that in the cultivation world, those with Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root Aptitude rarely break through to the late Qi Refining stage.

If one can be cultivated to Foundation Establishment, it is already a blessing from heaven.

If one still dreams of Golden Core, it is no different from a fool's dream, unrealistic.

"What a pity."

Chen Yinlong also echoed Chen Qingyuan's sigh.

Chen Jiancang at this time did not know that he had missed an Opportunity because of his own Aptitude.

At this time, Chen Jiancang replanted the Blood Nether Vine back into the pit and poured the collected demon beast blood without limit onto the roots of the Blood Nether Vine.

With the Blood Soul Object Control Method, Chen Jiancang's control over the Blood Nether Vine became more proficient.

He estimated that in just over a month's time, he would be able to harvest the Blood Nether Vine again and receive rewards.

After tending to the spiritual plants in the two Spirit Fields, Chen Jiancang went to the Dan Hall.

Today was the day of Chen Youyun's burial, and Chen Jiancang needed to go and see off this Uncle-Clan who had taken quite good care of him.

Three sticks of fragrant incense before the spiritual altar, two lines of clear tears by the candlelight.

In just a few days, Qing He had visibly thinned a bit, and her eyes were red and swollen from excessive crying.

Chen Jiancang sighed and comforted her, saying, "The living have passed away, Senior Sister Qing He should strive in the present, cultivate diligently in the future, and only then will you have the strength to avenge Uncle-Clan Nethercloud."

Upon hearing this, a determined look appeared in Qing He's eyes.

She originally had excellent Spiritual Root Aptitude, being a Three Spiritual Root Aptitude.

Since she was young, she had been brought by Chen Youyun from the Mortal kingdom to Xiao Yun Mountain to cultivate.

Now that Chen Youyun had lost his life to a magic Cultivator, Qing He's heart for cultivation became even stronger; she wanted to personally avenge Chen Youyun.

"Junior Brother Jiancang, don't worry, I'm fine."

Qing He no longer had her originally lively and unrestrained personality, and now her temperament had become a bit colder.

Chen Jiancang sighed.

The Chen Clan's enemies were hidden in the dark, all watching and waiting.

They unscrupulously spread rumors that Chen Qingyuan's lifespan was exhausted, attempting to incite chaos among rogue Cultivators so they could fish in troubled waters and thus ascertain Chen Qingyuan's true condition.

Currently, the Chen Clan had not taken major action regarding Chen Youyun's death.

If it were before, the Chen Family Law Enforcement Hall would definitely have actively attacked and retaliated.

However, the Chen Clan currently neither actively attacked nor consolidated its strength and strengthened its defense.

This action, instead, made those lurking in the dark dare not act rashly.

Fearing that the Chen Clan was deliberately setting an entrapment.

Chen Jiancang also couldn't figure out what the Chen Clan's plans were now.

He only wanted to improve his strength as much as possible while under the Chen Clan's protection, so that if things truly reached an irreversible point, he would also have the strength to fight.
