Chapter 3, explosion continues!

  Sunset on the grassland, early morning.

  Ye Chen's agile body dodged a flash of emerald green toxic liquid that shot out from the grass in front, carrying a foul odor.

  Hiss!

  A small, thick-armed green snake spat out its snake letter, its tiny, venomous snake pupils staring at Ye Chen, flashing lightning-fast from the grass thicket, swooping and flying with its mouth open, revealing two inch-long large poisonous fangs, biting towards Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen held the spiritual knife, with a hint of excitement, and entwined in battle with the demon green snake.

  He no longer just looked for demon mice to practice his wind magic, and began trying to fight against demon snakes.

  The green snake in the sunset meadow is quite troublesome, opening its mouth can shoot out a poisonous liquid, once stained on the body a piece of dark green.

  If there was no Low-Grade Detox Pill, even a Qi Refining cultivator would die from poisoning after an hour. Ye Chen didn't bring any detox pills, but other cultivators in the camp had a few bottles. He exchanged two pills with other cultivators using spirit stones and kept them on him as a precaution against poisoning.

  Half an hour later, this green snake was already extremely exhausted from chasing.

  "A first-rate intermediate snake demon! Its speed and agility are three times that of a lower-grade mouse demon. Its strength is almost double that of the mouse demon. But all these don't count for much, the most deadly thing is its venom, truly fatal!"

  "No wonder the other cultivators in the camp were chatting idly, saying that most of the Qi Refining stage cultivators who died from the venom of the green snake were those who practiced on the Sunset Prairie!"

  Ye Chen has already mastered all of Yao Qing She's attack routines and is even familiar with her deceptive tactics.

  "Die!"

  He didn't want to waste any more time. With a soft whoosh, he suddenly accelerated, transforming into a dashing figure, the spiritual knife in his hand shooting out a cold light, chopping towards the seven-inch spot of the green snake's demon.

  Hmph!

  A handful of snake blood splashed several feet away.

  Arriving at a secluded thicket, Ye Chen completed his morning spell practice and after taking an Energy-Boosting Pill, he began to sit cross-legged, cultivating his Primordial Spirit.

  In fact, when he was in Xiancheng, the yuanqi of his yuanshen had already been close to full during the first layer of the Refining Qi stage. In these few days, he had been making an all-out effort to break through to the next level. Between the second and first layers of the Refining Qi stage, there was a weak bottleneck that required a breakthrough.

  In Ye Chen's abdomen, the spiritual elixir slowly transformed into yuanqi, circulating throughout his body along the meridians, refining and transforming Ye Chen's physique while strengthening the yuanqi of his yuan spirit.

  Even Ye Chen's skin was emitting a weak, warm glow, and the small wounds were slowly healing. The cultivator's yuanqi was not just simply enhancing their cultivation, but also slowly and steadily transforming their physical body. The higher the cultivator's cultivation, the more robust and resilient their physique would become.

  Inside the Mud Ball Palace, there is a floating island of immortals.

  Ye Chen's primordial spirit, the size of a bean, was in the main house on the Immortal Island.

  The so-called primordial spirit is originally a strand of dim, invisible yin soul. After absorbing the primordial energy, it becomes the primordial spirit, possessing even greater power and having a clearly visible "body". Having a primordial spirit and not having one is an essential difference, and it is also the difference between heaven and earth for cultivators and warriors.

  The primordial spirit of a Qi Refining stage cultivator is ethereal, like light smoke, emitting soft yet bright radiance.

  Ye Chen's primordial spirit contained an increasingly dense primordial energy, contracting and expanding, attempting to break through a formless barrier constraint.

  Burst!

  Bang!

  A bean-sized Yuan Shen suddenly emitted a soft hum, its "body" broke through the thin barrier and quickly expanded to twice its size, becoming two bean-sized.

  "Refining Qi period second layer, breakthrough!"

  At this moment, Ye Chen clearly felt a huge change in his physical body and divine consciousness.

  Every inch of Ye Chen's muscles and cells were trembling and humming with joy.

  "The divine sense expanded from its original ten zhang distance to twenty zhang in an instant!"

  Ye Chen activated his Yuan Spirit in the Refining Qi stage, causing his divine sense to rapidly expand outward, reaching as far as twenty zhang.

  His divine consciousness swept across every place around him, clearly feeling the subtle movements of every part of the surrounding grass.

  The divine consciousness sweeps over, a gentle breeze rustles the grass leaves, and the dew drops on the tips of the grass leaves are crystal clear. A dozen or so ants and a mantis are fighting fiercely among the sand and stones, with iron mouths and steel teeth, showing off their ferocity and ruthlessness, as seen by my eyes and heard by my ears.

  "It seems that from the first layer of Qi Refining to the ninth layer, each layer's progress of the Primordial Spirit is extremely obvious!"

  "His divine sense expanded by ten zhang in range, this advantage was too obvious."

  "This means that my spells, such as fireballs, which could originally only attack within a range of ten zhang, can now reach targets up to twenty zhang away. Of course, the accuracy is hard to say, the farther the distance, the weaker the control of the divine sense over the fireball, and at twenty zhang away, the control will be greatly weakened!"

  "No wonder Wu Rong and Yuan Hong, with an air of arrogance, fought fiercely against each other, but didn't put the other cultivators at the same level in their eyes. The other cultivators were simply no match for them."

  Ye Chen was shocked and overjoyed at the same time.

  It wasn't until this moment that he understood the difference between a second-layer Qi Refining cultivator and a first-layer Qi Refining cultivator.

  "However, generally speaking, when cultivators of the initial stage of Qi Refining are fighting each other, they won't be too far apart, probably within a range of about ten zhang. Otherwise, one person would just start to cast their spell and the other person would see that they can't win and run away from such a distance, and even fireball spells wouldn't be able to catch up!"

  Ye Chen maintained his sitting posture, rapidly thinking in his heart about the gap that could bring him how much advantage to kill Zheng Zhi Cheng.

  "The advantages of cultivating the primordial spirit, the advantages of the power of spells, accumulating bit by bit, forming an overwhelming advantage. I didn't waste a single day in Xian City, I wonder what realm Zheng Zicheng has reached in his cultivation!"

  Tianyu Xianyuan Castle

  Chengnan, a low and dilapidated inn. This small inn is the residence of warriors in Xiancheng, with poor conditions. A room often squeezes several warriors, which can only spend the least rent to survive in Xiancheng.

  Yan Han lived in a dilapidated house for over a month.

  Boom!

  He had taken a dose of the Nine-Grade Body Tempering Herb, and was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, absorbing the herb's energy. Half an hour later, his body suddenly shook violently, his eyes snapped open, and a piercing divine light flashed across his face.

  "First Layer of Refining Qi!"

  Overjoyed at the severe cold.

  He took a closer look and found that there was indeed an extra primordial spirit in his body. He, who had always been indifferent, couldn't help but burst out laughing at this moment.

  It's been a month or two since I came to Xian City, and every moment is spent in diligent practice, not daring to slack off even a bit. In this Xian City, doing the most menial and exhausting chores to earn spirit stones, with his identity as one of the top ten aristocratic families' young masters from Wu Guo, it's almost unbearable for him to withstand such a huge disparity.

  But he still gritted his teeth and persisted, destined to stand out wherever he was. Even in this fairy city, he could change everything with his own strength.

  "Ye Chen! Although I didn't want to compare with you, but as the strongest senior brother of Beifeng Academy, I lost to my junior brother. Although I never said it, my heart was cut like a knife...... But in the end, I've caught up with you! Let's see who can go further in this cultivation world!"

  With a stern gaze, he stepped out of this nameless martial artist's small inn.

  The entire Fairy City seemed to have become clear and bright in his eyes, it was unclear whether it was due to a change of heart or because he had become a true immortal cultivator. The whole fairy city seemed to be surrounded by auspicious clouds, completely different from the scene yesterday.

  An early figure of great momentum, the severe cold cannot always be a bystander, it's time to take the stage. The grand stage of Xiancheng needs more powerful individuals, soon, other strong ones will also make their appearance. With immense pressure, Ye Chen can only surge higher!
