Chapter 423: Chapter 423 Zhu Chongjiu is Here!

"In this Cultivation World, where there are people, there is discord..."

Lu Chen shook his head silently, removed the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, and took the wooden talisman deeper into the cave dwelling.

After roughly the time it took an incense stick to burn, he finally reached the end of the cave dwelling, and just as Ning Changzhong had said, there was indeed a barrier there.

It’s no wonder that he couldn’t feel the fire power, without using the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, it was utterly invisible.

He took out the wooden talisman, and after channeling a thread of Spiritual Power into it, the barrier opened a small door, and a pure burst of fire energy surged out immediately.

But in an instant, Lu Chen felt the fire power rapidly increasing, which was clearly due to his influence, activating the Earth Vein Fire Essence within the pit!

"Hurry and get inside, so as not to make too much noise here and alert Ning Changzhong, or it will be impossible to absorb the Fire Essence!"

Lu Chen’s gaze sharpened, and he darted in, then used the wooden talisman to close the barrier just when a pillar of fire burst out from the pit!

This pillar of fire was somewhat thicker than the one at Ninefold Peak, but it was much weaker than the one at Zhaixing Peak.

He immediately made a judgment, that Fire Essence certainly had a lot to do with distance!

"It seems, to absorb the Fire Essence, one must proceed through those peaks in turn!"

A thought flashed through Lu Chen’s mind, and the pillar of Fire Essence had already surged into his lower abdomen!

"If it were the first time, I definitely couldn’t have endured it, but now..."

Lu Chen let out a cold laugh, quickly began to introspect his body, and in the process of doing so, he also invoked the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique!

Compared to the somewhat hectic attempts earlier, Lu Chen was now full of experience!

As the Fire Essence entered the Dantian, Lu Chen’s Spiritual Fire also started to move quickly, directly merging with the Fire Essence to form a huge fireball!

However, the vibrations from within this fireball were stronger than before.

After all, before this, he was attempting to absorb ordinary fire power, which wasn’t so intense.

With a thought from Lu Chen, the pure Fire Spiritual Power within his Dantian swiftly lunged toward the fireball.

With his prior experience, dealing with the Fire Essence was a lot easier.

In just a few breaths, the Fire Spiritual Power and the Spiritual Fire had already gained the upper hand, with the Spiritual Fire beginning to slowly devour the Fire Essence!

As long as he could absorb this Fire Essence, Lu Chen’s strength would advance another level!

But in terms of realm...

The result was minimal, at most only speeding up the process of refining the long spear on the Spiritual Fire platform!

Luckily, Lu Chen was not in a rush for a breakthrough in realm.

If he were to break through now, he would not be able to enter the Haotian Secret Realm!

...

"Seventh Senior Brother, you’ve finally arrived!"

On the clearing, Ning Changzhong was waiting for Zhu Chongjiu.

"No one’s around here, so call me by my name, I feel uneasy being called Senior Brother," Zhu Chongjiu said, apparently still not accustomed to it, as he looked around and whispered.

"Hahaha," Ning Changzhong laughed heartily, "Seventh Senior Brother, you have been personally appointed by our master! The rules of our lineage are such, whoever occupies the higher mountain peak is the Senior Brother, what’s there to be embarrassed about? I was originally the eighth but have now become the eighth junior and it doesn’t bother me at all, so why are you worried?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongjiu touched his nose, but he was concerned about Lu Chen and asked, "How about my disciple?"

Ning Changzhong shook his head with a smile, "Seventh Senior Brother really treasures Lu Chen as a precious gem; worried about him after such a short time apart? Don’t worry, I gave him a Pupil Skill, and he said he had some insight, so he went into my fire pit to cultivate. If you’re concerned, shall I take you to see him?"

Zhu Chongjiu nodded at first; he didn’t know what Ning Changzhong meant, and would not be at ease until he saw Lu Chen with his own eyes.

But suddenly, he remembered the mysterious aspects about Lu Chen.

If he goes to the fire pit...

No, he must not let Ning Changzhong discover anything extraordinary!

So Zhu Chongjiu quickly shook his head, "Lu Chen was originally a Loose Cultivator, our presence will surely disrupt his cultivation! If he suffers from cultivation deviation, it won’t be good. Let’s wait for him to finish cultivating, he will definitely come out!"

"That makes sense," Ning Changzhong didn’t mind and nodded, "Then, Seventh Senior Brother, come with me to my cave dwelling. Junior Brother, I have something to tell you! It concerns Lu Chen’s future path in the Ji Pavilion!"

He had already found the breakthrough point to pry into Zhu Chongjiu’s psychological defenses, which was none other than Lu Chen!
