186: Zhang Qingmu Flowering Technique

Chen Jiancang examined all the Jade Slips. Almost every Jade Slip recorded a town-suppressing Cultivation Technique of the Cangwu Sect.

However, there were no inherited secret treasures related to the hundred arts of immortal cultivation like alchemy, talismans, artifacts, or formations. This made Chen Jiancang quite regretful.

After all, the foundation of a Chen Family, in addition to Cultivation Techniques, is most importantly the inheritance of these hundred arts of cultivation.

Chen Jiancang already had the Azure Emperor Everlasting Art for Cultivation Techniques and didn't need to practice other techniques, but a Divine Ability recorded in these Jade Slips caught his attention.

“Green Wood Life Flower Technique.”

“There is actually such a bizarre wood-element Divine Ability?” Chen Jiancang looked at the introduction of the Green Wood Life Flower Technique and fell into contemplation.

The Green Wood Life Flower Technique is a technique that treats people as wood, parasitizing spiritual energy, and cultivating the human body to grow flowers. It is extremely bizarre. If one is parasitized by green wood spiritual energy, unless they rely on a massive amount of spiritual energy to flush and clear the parasitic spiritual energy in time, the parasitized person has no possibility of escaping.

As the flowers bloom, the wood withers; as the flowers wilt, the person dies.

Moreover, the entire process is very short, which is also the shocking and bizarre aspect of this Divine Ability. It is almost impossible for those who are affected by this technique to escape. Of course, this technique is also quite difficult to Cultivate. According to the understanding from the Jade Slip, to master this technique, one must spend a lot of time cultivating Green Wood Spirit Seed Spores.

“This technique can be practiced.”

Chen Jiancang’s heart stirred. His current means of dealing with enemies were limited. Previously, relying on First Order High Grade Spirit Talismans and Lue Ling Powder, he still had some combat capability.

Although this method was effective, it had huge loopholes and was not a long-term solution.

After killing Tu Wan later, he also learned the Blood Soul Great Art of Object Control, which allowed him to control the Blood Nether Vine using the Blood Banner Flag in combat. However, the Blood Nether Vine is currently replanted in the Spirit Field, so he cannot utilize it for now.

Moreover, both methods rely on external objects.

For the improvement of his own abilities, Chen Jiancang had only cultivated the Azure Profound Sword Technique. This technique was only barely useful for dealing with enemies and could not achieve the effect of surprise or turning the tide.

Now, seeing such a bizarre Green Wood Life Flower Technique, Chen Jiancang had the idea of cultivating this technique.

After all, he did not need to spend time accumulating spiritual energy in his Dantian for cultivation, so cultivating the Green Wood Life Flower Technique would not delay his normal cultivation.

If he could master this Divine Ability, he would also have a hidden trump card for combat.

After making a copy of the Jade Slip containing the Green Wood Life Flower Technique, Chen Jiancang looked up at other places. When he saw everything in the storage ring he had taken out, and the Old Ancestor had not touched a single thing, he understood and silently put everything back into the storage ring.

These high-level Materials were nothing to Chen Qingyuan, but to Chen Jiancang, they were extremely precious. Whether they were used to exchange for spiritual stones or kept for refining his natal artifact after forming his Golden Core, they were very good.

“Jiancang, are you interested in that Divine Ability Secret Manual, the Green Wood Life Flower Technique?” Chen Qingyuan had noticed Jiancang’s actions long ago and asked.

“Old Ancestor, Jiancang lacks combat techniques. This Green Wood Life Flower Technique Divine Ability is bizarre and unpredictable, and its power is immense. If I can Cultivate it successfully, I will also have a trump card for combat,” Chen Jiancang said truthfully.

However, Chen Qingyuan frowned upon hearing this and immediately advised, “Jiancang, although the Green Wood Life Flower Technique is a good combat Divine Ability, I still hope you don’t Cultivate it, as it requires a lot of effort to achieve success in cultivation.”

“And with your Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root Aptitude, you should prioritize improving your cultivation Realm. Don’t waste your energy on such unorthodox and miscellaneous studies, wasting your cultivation time.”

“Your talent lies in alchemy, not combat. If there is an external war, the Law Enforcement Hall and other Chen Family Cultivators will go. Your cultivation of this technique is only for adding a trump card and is not very useful.”

Chen Qingyuan earnestly advised him. At this time, he had already decided that no matter Chen Jiancang’s Aptitude or how many resources it took to break through his Realm, he planned to fully assist Chen Jiancang in breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.

After all, Chen Jiancang had repeatedly made great contributions, and this time, he had contributed an invaluable ultra-long-distance teleportation array and a Great Shift Token.

For the long-term development of the Chen Family, the value of these two treasures far exceeded the resources Chen Jiancang would consume in breaking through his Realm. Therefore, Chen Qingyuan hoped that Chen Jiancang could Cultivate diligently and improve his cultivation Realm as much as possible, not wasting his precious time.

Chen Jiancang also knew the Old Ancestor’s intention, but Chen Qingyuan did not know that Chen Jiancang’s Breakthrough in Realm did not require spending time refining and accumulating spiritual energy.

Therefore, cultivating the Green Wood Life Flower Technique did not conflict with improving his Realm.

But Chen Jiancang couldn’t explain it at this time, so he could only obediently nod and agree.

The next day, Chen Qingyuan brought Chen Jiancang back to the Main Spiritual Vein.

At the entrance of the Market, rogue Cultivators came and went. Chen Jiancang could clearly sense that the flow of people in the Market was much more than usual, and he was surprised.

He did not know that just a few days ago, Old Ancestor Chen Qingyuan had led more than forty Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Chen Family, with lightning speed, to destroy two Golden Core forces within a few days.

Now that the news had spread, those rogue Cultivators who had heard that the Chen Family was declining and had fled the Qingya Mountain Range early were returning one after another, adding a lot of vitality to the Qingya Mountain Range.

Chen Jiancang returned home.

Chen Qingyuan, on the other hand, went directly to the Chen Family's council hall.

“Old Ancestor, news has come from the Hanhai Li Family. They have agreed to our Chen Family’s request to rent a Spiritual Vein, but the rental fee has increased by 30%. Now the Chen Family needs to pay 300,000 spiritual stones, which the Chen Family has already prepared for you.”

“However, the Li Family also proposed a condition, which is that when you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, the two Late Stage Golden Core Cultivators of the Li Family need to observe from the side. Yinlong did not dare to make a decision on this matter and specifically came to ask for your instructions.”

As soon as Chen Qingyuan appeared, the Chen Family Head, Chen Yinlong, immediately came to report the matter, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his expression, clearly having suffered a setback in the communication regarding this matter.

Chen Qingyuan snorted coldly upon hearing this and immediately asked, “Hmph, what does the Li Family mean by this? Do they intend to violate the agreement jointly signed with the many Golden Core forces in the Nanjiao Region back then?”

“When I, Chen Qingyuan, face the Nascent Soul tribulation, there will be two Cultivators of the same Realm observing from the side. This is simply too much.”

“Not only do I have to withstand the Nascent Soul formation thunder tribulation, but I also have to constantly guard against the two of them. How dare they say that? Tell them that this old man will not rent the Spiritual Vein anymore, and they should take care of themselves.” A hint of fierce light appeared in Chen Qingyuan’s eyes.

How could he not know that this matter was the Hanhai Li Family bullying others based on their power? After all, Chen Qingyuan did not have much lifespan left. As long as the Hanhai Li Family held onto this matter, they could force the Chen Family to compromise.

Of course, they were also not afraid of Chen Qingyuan breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, because when renting the Spiritual Vein, Chen Qingyuan needed to sign a Dao Heart Oath. If Chen Qingyuan truly managed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, he would not be able to do anything to the Li Family.

But at this time, Chen Qingyuan no longer needed to compromise for this. After all, the Nascent Soul formation thunder tribulation was already extremely dangerous. If he were lucky enough to break through, and the two Li Family members did not abide by the alliance and brazenly attacked, then in his weakened state after just passing the thunder tribulation, he might truly stumble and fall into the hands of the Li Family.

Moreover, the Chen Family now had a First Order High Grade Spiritual Vein, so they naturally did not need to rent a mere First Order Low Grade Spiritual Vein to break through.
