But once or twice, three times or five times, he did not do anything outrageous. Only then did everyone realize that this Immortal Master Chen truly enjoyed making friends, treating people and things with genuine emotion.
Moreover, Immortal Master Chen was proficient in alchemy, and the pills he refined were of excellent quality, about ten to twenty percent more effective than those circulating on the market. Therefore, everyone gave him face and was willing to befriend him.
The names ’Long Sleeves Dance Immortal Master Chen’ and ’Old Chen of the Ancient Path and Sincere Heart’ gradually became known in the Mysterious Nether Sea.
Year by year.
Age by age.
Morning sees the water flowing eastward.
Evening sees the sun setting westward.
In a blink of an eye, two hundred years had passed.
...
On this day.
Chen Jichuan sat cross-legged in his cave mansion on Jade Spring Mountain, meditating with eyes closed.
In his Dantian, a wisp of flame flickered occasionally, merely a trace, seemingly about to extinguish at any moment, but its power was immense, burning Mana into a mass of mist bubbling like boiling water.
Sword Qi flowed, tempered by the flame, becoming more refined and sharp through repeated tempering.
The cultivation technique operated.
Mana surged magnificently.
When the Dantian could no longer withstand the heat of the flame, the agitation of Mana, and the sharpness of Sword Qi, Chen Jichuan would cease his cultivation.
He opened his eyes.
A glint of light flashed in Chen Jichuan’s eyes, due to the Sword Qi’s sharpness not entirely withdrawn.
Sword Qi entered his spirit, manifesting in his eyes.
Looking again at Chen Jichuan.
His back was straight, but his hair and beard were already streaked with gray.
Two hundred years had gone by.
Though he was only one hundred seventy-eight years old in bone age, compared to the three-hundred-year lifespan of a Qi Refining Immortal Master, he was still in his prime and should not have grayed so early.
But the actual situation was different.
In the eyes of others, he was already three hundred and thirty-one years old, belonging to the age that could pass away at any moment. Yet he appeared vigorous, with youthful looks, inevitably arousing suspicion.
Why not simply gray hair?
After completing his exercises.
Chen Jichuan customarily opened the ’Immortal Record’—

...
Two hundred years have passed.
A hundred years of cultivation.
Chen Jichuan had reached the Qi Refining Third Layer, the Dantian expanded to the limit, Mana perfected, and had cultivated the ’Pure Yang True Fire’ recorded in the "Sword Map," strengthening it from a low-level to a middle-stage with mighty power.
In terms of Daoist Skill and external skills.
’Chen’s 72 Skills’ and ’Taiyin Refining Body Technique’ were derived to a refined level, automatically completing subsequent cultivation layers.
After several reconstructions, he derived techniques such as ’Four-character Poem Sword’ and ’Protective Sword Shield’ to middle-stage, preserving both the external and Daoist lineages for continued cultivation.
He broke through to a new level in external skills and Daoist Skills respectively, twenty-some and ten-some years ago.
As for external skills, he advanced from Transforming Strength to Core Formation, enabling initial concentration of Essence Qi and Blood Marrow Fluid, strengthening the physical body.
As for Daoist Skills, he progressed from Soul Emergence to the realm of Night Travel, allowing the Divine Soul to emerge, traveling across the night without fearing the yin wind.
At this level, relying only on the power of the Divine Soul, without using any magic, he could manipulate objects and Magic Artifacts purely through his mind, with a level vastly different from before.
However, both external skills and Daoist Skills paled compared to Qi Refinement.
Chen Jichuan’s cultivation spanned a hundred years, spending thirty years converting all True Yuan into Mana, entering the Qi Refining Second Layer. Then spending fifty years filling his Dantian with Mana, expanding the Dantian to its limit, stepping into the Qi Refining Third Layer.
Over the past twenty years, Chen Jichuan finally formed the first wisp of ’Pure Yang True Fire,’ marking halfway along the path of this Qi Refining Third Layer.
Next, he needed to cultivate and expand the true fire, using it to refine Mana and Sword Qi.
When Mana became pure and Sword Qi unstoppable, he could proceed to the next stage of cultivation, aiming for a breakthrough into the Qi Refining Fourth Layer.
This process is much harder than refining true fire, conservatively estimated to require forty to fifty years of hard work.
By then, his bone age would likely reach two hundred twenty to thirty years.
Thinking carefully.
When he first met Wuk Yuan Immortal Master, she was at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, at two hundred sixty-five years old. By such comparison, Chen Jichuan used less time, indeed more of a genius.
"Genius?"
Chen Jichuan shook his head.
Compared to ordinary people without spirit roots, he was indeed a genius. But compared to true geniuses, he was merely average.
Chen Jichuan had self-awareness.
In theory, he was stronger than Wuk Yuan Immortal Master, but since he remained in the Qi Refining Third Layer, whether he could surpass Wuk Yuan Immortal Master remained uncertain.
"Anyway, refining ’Pure Yang True Fire’ is a great joy."
Chen Jichuan smiled. With such a major breakthrough in cultivation, he refrained from thinking about the distant future.
Live in the moment.
Be happy when the time is right.
He poured himself three cups of fine wine, celebrating a little.
Only then did Chen Jichuan leave the cave mansion, standing atop Jade Spring Mountain, gazing towards the distant north.
...
"Over three hundred years old, it’s time to die."
Breakthroughs in cultivation are joyous events.
But after joy, he must face reality.
Qi Refining lifespan is three hundred years.
Some live longer, some shorter, but at most, it fluctuates by twenty or thirty years.
Chen Jichuan now was three hundred thirty-one years old. If he didn’t die, no matter how much he pretended to be old, every Qi Refining Immortal Master in the Mysterious Nether Sea would start to suspect.
"Directly ’dying’ would be a waste."
"Mystical Gate Skill—"
Chen Jichuan ultimately couldn’t bear to part with his foundation in Echo Valley and Jade Spring Mountain.
So ever since he learned the ’Mystical Gate Skill’ over twenty years ago, he immediately started planning. Yet, after waiting over twenty years, there had been no update or progress.
This made Chen Jichuan a bit anxious.
His current situation couldn’t allow too long a delay. Missing this timing made it unlikely to achieve his intended plan.
"If worse comes to worst, I might have to pretend to travel far to the North Pole and return after one or two hundred years."
Chen Jichuan calculated in his mind, not wanting to take this step unless absolutely necessary.
He continued looking northward.
Every day after cultivation, he would look this way. In fact, his mind pondered various cultivation issues, but others saw it as if this ancestor was eagerly looking forward.
He had been looking for over twenty years.
On this day.
It seemed he saw a ray of hope.
From the north, a streak of light descended from the sky, landing on Jade Spring Mountain.
Chen Jichuan looked over and saw a middle-aged cultivator clad in an indigo robe, travel-worn with frost, extremely exhausted.
"Brother Cen!"
Chen Jichuan recognized the person, joy welling up in his heart.
Despite Brother Cen’s fatigue, it could not hide the excitement in his eyes as he approached Chen Jichuan with large strides, cupping his hands and saying loudly, "Brother Cen, by luck, found a piece of Mysterious Ice in the Arctic Glacier. Please, Mr. Chen, have a look!"
Before he finished speaking.
This cultivator surnamed Cen waved his large sleeve, and the surrounding cold air suddenly intensified, revealing a nine-foot square block of Mysterious Ice on the ground.
"Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice!"
Chen Jichuan, upon seeing it, was overjoyed!
