Chapter 27: The Remnant Cloud Son
Finally, the first recommendation has arrived. Tomorrow at 2 pm, passing by fellow Taoists, if it's convenient, please throw a recommendation token. If you don't have a token, putting it in your Qiankun bag is also okay!
————————
"You stinky little brat, what are you talking about? Your Gathering Spirit Pill wasn't even absorbed by me, so why are you blaming me?" Another furious voice came from the painting.
Yang Chen pouted slightly, after all, the Gathering Qi Pill was gone just like that, anyone would feel this way.
The person in the painting looked at Yang Chen's unwilling expression, and his tone was no longer as arrogant as before. He said calmly: "You don't have to be unwilling, I'll tell you, the effect of this painting is beyond your imagination. Although the painting has absorbed the Qi-gathering pill, it will inevitably reflect back to you, and its effect will be even better than if you had taken the Qi-gathering pill directly!"
Yang Chen asked somewhat disbelievingly: "Really?"
The person in the painting stared at Yang Chen, not believing his words. The fire that had just been extinguished suddenly flared up again. In a fit of rage, he bellowed: "You stinky little brat! I'm speaking to you with a calm and peaceful heart, yet you still don't believe me?! You're really infuriating me!"
What a temper!
Yang Chen's expression was strange and he didn't dare to say it out loud, or else he wouldn't know how furious the mysterious old man in the painting would become.
"Senior, don't be angry, junior definitely believes in you, it's just a question!" Yang Chen showed an embarrassed expression.
"This is about right, now that the painting has absorbed the Gathering Spirit Pill, from now on the spiritual energy I give back to you will also contain the effects of the Gathering Spirit Pill. According to my estimates, in about a year's time, you should be able to refine spiritual energy within your body!" The person in the painting said calmly, then changed his tone and coldly said: "If after a year you still haven't refined spiritual energy, then there's no need for you to continue cultivating."
Yang Chen was taken aback and asked in confusion: "Why?"
"Go hang yourself from a tree!"
Yang Chen was suddenly speechless, and could only stand there with a bitter smile.
The person in the painting said, "Stop staring and hurry back now. Make haste to cultivate! Also, this matter of the painting must not be let known by a third person, including that little fox who lives with you."
Yang Chen nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand this point, but this painting is neither big nor small. If I carry it with me, it will eventually be discovered by someone. If I hide it in the room, there's a chance that Xiaoxue might find it, which is not safe at all!"
The person in the painting fell silent for a moment, then said: "So now you must hurry up and cultivate. Once you've refined the spiritual energy within your body, I'll have a way to make it so that no one can discover this painting!"
Yang Chen nodded and stood silently on the spot, without following the instructions of the person in the painting to return.
The person in the painting looked at Yang Chen for a long time without moving, and asked doubtfully: "Why haven't you left yet?"
"Senior, what kind of person are you? What is this painting after all? Why are you in this painting? Why do you want to help me?" Yang Chen took a deep breath and asked the person in the painting directly.
At this time, even if the person in the painting has a bad temper, Yang Chen must ask these questions clearly. After all, the person in the painting is so mysterious, and he carries it with him, who knows whether it's good luck or bad luck?
The person in the painting did not get angry this time, but instead became calm and quiet.
Yang Chen looked at the painting without any sound coming from it, standing calmly on the spot, waiting for an explanation from the person in the painting.
At this time, we can't be impatient, and we must thoroughly clarify the matter. If not, it will definitely bring unnecessary trouble later on.
"You little stinker, since I'll be following you from now on, I might as well tell you everything!" The person in the painting slowly spoke up.
"I was originally a loose cultivator, and on this earth, I am also considered to be extremely famous. Even among the strongest few, no one dares to easily lay hands on me! Many years ago, it may have been 10 years ago, or maybe 100 years ago, or even a thousand years ago, exactly how much time has passed, I'm not clear about that either while being trapped in this painting."
At that time, one day, a sudden change occurred on the Tianlun star, and the heaven and earth shook. A ray of light shot from the sky to here. At that time, I and many masters went to check, and finally found out that the ray of light was actually this painting.
At that time, everyone guessed that this thing was a treasure. I relied on my great vehicle period cultivation to snatch it away, but before I could study it, many powerful people chased and killed me, and after using all my strength, my physical body was destroyed, and my soul almost dispersed. Luckily, I managed to hide in this mysterious painting and barely escaped with my life.
However, after so many years of careful research, I finally discovered some secrets in this painting. This painting can absorb anything, whether it's a treasure, spiritual energy or elixir, as long as it's something, it can be absorbed into it. However, going in is easy, coming out is difficult, so I've been trapped in this painting for many years and couldn't escape.
However, wanting to come out isn't impossible. That's making this painting recognize its master. At that time, by controlling the painting, you can release the things inside. Now that this painting is in your hands, as long as you can cultivate spiritual energy, through so many years of research, I have confidence that it will recognize you as its master. Then when your cultivation reaches the fusion period, you can release me!
"Hey, you little stinker! Just be kind and open your eyes, cultivate quickly to become a fusion period cultivator. When the time comes, release old man from here! Old man Can Yunzi will definitely remember this in his heart. From now on, I'll be watching over you. On this Tianlun Star, no one dares to touch you!"
In the end, Zyun Zi's tone was filled with a pleading intention.
"What's fusion period?" Yang Chen asked in confusion: "What is fusion period?"
"In the path of cultivation, the most basic is the Gathering Qi Realm, followed by Building Foundation, Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, Merging and Mahayana! However, in this poor and remote place, the highest level of cultivation is only up to Nascent Soul cultivators!"
Yang Chen bitterly smiled and said: "With my qualifications, let alone the fusion realm, even the golden elixir and foundation building realms are too far away for me!"
Zyunzi chuckled and said, "Don't worry about this, as long as you can cultivate your spiritual energy, with my help, I won't say that it's impossible to reach the Mahayana period, but in the fusion period, I'm sure I can help you achieve it!"
Yang Chen nodded thoughtfully, but he didn't entirely believe what Can Yunzi said. After all, this was just one side of the story.
"Watch out, kid, someone's coming!" Zan Yunzi suddenly reminded Yang Chen, and then directly dived down.
At this time, how could there be someone coming here?
Yang Chen muttered to himself, hastily ran towards a large tree on the side, climbed up in a few swift motions, and lay flat on a branch, looking around vigilantly with a cautious expression.
Not long after, a figure appeared walking over and stood in the position he was just in, looking around cautiously in all directions, apparently waiting for someone.
Yang Chen looked at the man's appearance, his pupils shrinking, and thought to himself: How could it be him! At this time, he should be in the inner gate, how did he end up here?
