Chapter 674: Chapter 694: I Really Didn’t Waste Your Spiritual Medicine _1

Of course, I have to find my parents and my wife!

"Mhm, I have that thought, but there’s no rush. We’ll meet eventually, so I should focus on improving my strength first."

As it was a personal matter, Lin Chen simply nodded without going into details.

Su Mubai encouraged him with a smile: "Keep cultivating hard, and as long as you advance to the Nascent Soul realm and have the Water and Fire Mirror, you’ll be able to handle any dangers in the Barren Wilderness, so long as you don’t have terrible luck and run into a Great Demon."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "That’s what Senior Sister said too. Now that I have the elixirs, I’m going to start Closed Door Cultivation for a while."

"Good!"

Su Mubai smiled faintly: "I hope I’ll bring you good news when I return."

Lin Chen laughed: "If you find Black Iron Crow Essence in the market, please help me buy it. I’ll pay you back with spirit stones later."

Su Mubai laughed: "You brought back Grandpa’s remains and saved my life. My dad said he would help you buy Black Iron Crow Essence as a token of gratitude, so don’t worry about spirit stones. The Su family has businesses in the Barren Wilderness, we’re not short on money."

After Su Mubai left, Lin Chen began his Closed Door Cultivation.

Using the Nine Ginseng Pills and Golden Marrow Pills together, Lin Chen’s Golden Core rotated madly, absorbing spiritual energy furiously. The Golden Core was becoming thicker and sturdier, and its golden color was becoming brighter.

Lin Chen could clearly feel his strength improving rapidly, but after a while, the rate of improvement gradually slowed down.

In his dantian, it seemed as if an invisible barrier was suppressing his Golden Core, slowing down its rotation. It was still absorbing spiritual energy, but its absorption rate had noticeably slowed down.

Lin Chen didn’t care, he continued to devour elixirs, absorb spiritual energy like crazy, and cultivate tirelessly.

Every major realm’s breakthrough is a qualitative change. However, the promotion between small stages within each major realm is a purely quantitative process. As long as there is a sufficient quantity, one will be able to advance to the next stage.

The amount of spiritual energy absorbed by the Golden Core became less and less, its rotation slower and slower. Finally, it seemed to come to a complete standstill, just hovering there motionlessly.

The golden radiance on the surface of the Golden Core grew denser until, at a certain moment, a crisp sound suddenly rang out in Lin Chen’s quiet mind. It sounded like a chick breaking through its eggshell.

Faint, yet clear.

At the same time, the invisible barrier suppressing the Golden Core in Lin Chen’s dantian shattered like an invisible eggshell, turning into countless fragments and dissipating in the air.

The golden radiance flowed on the surface of the Golden Core, and its rotation became smooth once again. Its size had grown almost twice as large as before. With each inhalation and exhalation, a surge of rich spiritual energy filled Lin Chen, giving him a sense of power.

Lin Chen opened his eyes in delight, and in that instant, his pupils completely turned gold. A tremendous pressure filled his eyes, which gradually faded after a long while, returning to normal.

Middle-Stage Golden Core!

He had advanced!

Counting the time, he had been in Closed Door Cultivation for three months. Su Mubai’s Nine Ginseng Pills and Golden Marrow Pills were almost used up, and Lin Chen had also consumed many spiritual fruits that replenished spiritual energy.

Eating spiritual fruits as a meal yielded lavish effects!

After Lin Chen became excited for a while, he collected his thoughts and left his Cave Mansion to check on his Medicine Field.

"Master, have you finished your Closed Door Cultivation?"

Lin Chen looked up in surprise, only to see his cave mansion covered with Vajra Vines, with Mei Nu’s familiar yet unfamiliar face appearing among the vines.

Mei Nu had grown!

When Mei Nu attached herself to the Vajra Vine, it was only thirty centimeters long and very thin. Her face was small and delicate, like a little girl’s. Now, the Vajra Vine extended hundreds of meters, covering the surroundings of the cave mansion, and Mei Nu’s face had matured into a charming woman in her twenties, looking somewhat eerie on the vine.

Lin Chen looked around: "You’ve grown quite fast. What’s your strength now?"

Mei Nu excitedly exclaimed: "I’ve basically recovered to the Late Golden Core stage!"

Lin Chen replied indifferently: "In three months, you ate so many spiritual medicines and had the Shengling Pearl to help you grow. With a constant supply of spiritual energy, your Nascent Soul Great Perfection only recovered to the Late Golden Core stage, so what are you excited about?"

Mei Nu’s smile froze on her face, and she spoke with a slight sense of grievance: "My main body was destroyed, and my cultivation greatly damaged. Although my Nascent Soul successfully attached itself, it was very fragile. Normally, it would take decades just to fuse, and recovering to Nascent Soul Great Perfection would take at least hundreds of years, or even thousands. Now, in just three months, I’ve recovered to the Late Golden Core stage. Master, my progress has been incredibly fast, and I really haven’t wasted your spiritual medicine..."
