Chapter 4: Soul-Calling Grass

  A serious illness brings unexpected good fortune.

  Jade stele seems to have countless high-level kung fu methods, ancient divine powers.

  At this moment, Chen Yuan's demon energy was a large duck egg.

  The Supreme Jade Monument does not categorize demons and beasts like the Nine Provinces Continent, instead dividing them into nine levels.

  Divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. The lower grade is 1-3 level demon beast, the middle grade is 4-6, and the upper grade is 7-9.

  Chen Yuan asked the divine snake, and the demon's soul is not formed by every demon beast, but high-level demon beasts must have at least one, and not just one. The probability of first- and second-level demon beasts appearing is about 50%.

  A good lower-grade cultivation technique requires at least 300 points of low-quality demon essence.

  The superior cultivation method is worth 5,000 points.

  As for top-level skills, there are tens of thousands of mid-grade demon spirits. The transcendent divine skill has already reached six digits. Demon spirits have also become high-grade.

  At Chen Yuan's current level of power, he can kill twenty first-level demon beasts every day and condense ten points of demonic energy.

  Wanting an unparalleled divine technique, suddenly felt that even if I were killed, it would be impossible.

  But what moved Chen Yuan's heart was not the kung fu in the jade stele.

  Formation!

  Array Master, with arrays to transform the terrain, gather and converge the aura, combine the celestial phenomena, blend in the wind, thunder and five elements, form the heaven, earth and human three-body array, enveloping cities, towns and villages, guarding one side.

  If there is a way, I will open up my own business and build my own castle. Why should I still live under someone else's roof and be controlled by others?

  The future is beautiful, but the current stage is not optimistic.

  To refine the demon and condense the soul, one must first cultivate the Yin-Yang Demon Refining Divine Technique to its first realm boundary.

  Chen Yuan has already cultivated the Three Yang Gathering Fire Technique, and must first disperse the three yang fire powers before he can re-cultivate a new technique.

  Dispersing one's own cultivation is no easy matter.

  At least with Chen Yuan's current skills, when dispersing his cultivation, he would have to bear indescribable pain and it would be easy to injure the dan Tian meridians, so when dispersing his cultivation, spiritual grass and medicine must be used as assistance.

  "Can only go to the pharmacy to buy herbs to protect the heart and blood vessels."

  Chen Yuan stopped thinking about it and decided that even if something strange happened, he couldn't be too excited, and should treat it with a normal mindset.

  These years, he has been in a lower position, and he has already honed his inner self to perfection. Cultivating the Tao and cultivating the heart, the Jade Stele is an unparalleled good fortune, but it's not enough to make him arrogant and look down on everything. To grow further, one must be cautious. The Unparalleled Jade Stele, even the divine snake, are secrets that he cannot speak of in his heart.

  Once the secret is leaked, countless masters will be attracted. At that time, even if there are many more magical instruments and divine skills, they will ultimately be of no use to save one's life.

  A ray of morning light, passing through the window, illuminates a room with elegant clarity.

  Chen Yuan woke up from his meditation, after a quiet night of cultivation. Although his practice was not long, he felt calm and peaceful, with a particularly clear and refreshed spirit.

  He stood up, and the fragments of the ever-changing scenes came flooding back again.

  His head ached so badly it felt like it was going to split open, causing him to stumble and almost fall flat on the ground.

  "What's going on......" Chen Yuan endured the pain, puzzled as to why this illusionary fragment had occurred.

  "You have taken the variant Soul-Devouring Grass, which has a powerful soul-absorbing effect. Although you obtained the Jade Stele, which purified the Soul-Devouring power for you, there is still a residual effect left behind. This medicinal power will not only slowly consume your soul but also emit a strange fragrance. This fragrance is lethal to demonic beasts, and once the tide of demons erupts, I fear you will be hunted down by hundreds and thousands of them."

  "Soul Beckoning Grass? I've never eaten this herb before! How could..."

  At this point, Chen Yuan recalled the events of last month. He had exchanged a useful 'Yangyin grass' for cultivation from Yu Guanshi, and after taking it, he suddenly fell seriously ill.

  "Could it be... that Yangyin grass is actually Soul-Beckoning Grass!" Chen Yuan immediately realized he had been calculated, and his heart was extremely shocked with anger.

  "It must be Bai Xiao Zhuangzhu and Yu Guanshi joining forces to frame me! Despicable, not only can't they tolerate me, but they also plan to use me as bait to lure the demon beast to shift their own disaster?"

  The divine serpent said disdainfully: "This variant soul-calling grass seems to have been tainted with some special spiritual energy."

  "So the effect is far more than usual, rivaling the medicinal power of the legendary Wan Nian Zhao Hun Cao. I'm afraid they won't even recognize this herb's specialty and will mistake it for ordinary Zhao Hun Cao! Humans are indeed sinister, there's no place for you here, you should think of a way to leave."

  Chen Yuan was furious, but he also knew that he was no match for Bai Xiao Zhuang's master now. Even if he understood that he had been framed, he had no ability to avenge himself at present. Unable to avenge himself, he could only solve the problem of the soul-summoning grass first:

  "Divine Snake, do you know how to dispel the soul-calling herb's power?"

  "If my physical body were still intact, the power of this small soul-calling herb would naturally be nothing to worry about. However, I am now just a wisp of residual soul, and for me, this soul-calling herb that erodes the divine soul is the most terrifying thing. Nevertheless, I still have three Nine-Profundity Primordial Qi within me, which can be spat out one mouthful to temporarily suppress the Soul-Devouring power of the soul-calling herb for you. Although it's just suppression, it will only slow down the devouring speed; in no more than five years, your soul will still be eroded away. Unless you can find the 'Heavenly Spirit Restoring Elixir', with which to refine your divine soul, transform your soul into a Yin spirit, and drive out all the medicinal power, thereby avoiding the suffering of being devoured."

  "Where is the Revival Pill? Where can I find it?"

  "I used to transform into a human and travel through various realms, but I only heard of this elixir by ear. However, the Jade Tablet's divine powers are vast, you can look it up inside!"

  Chen Yuan listened and immediately contacted Shang Yu Bei. He found the information about the Dan medicine, searched from top to bottom, and finally found this Dan at the 12th place on the Tian Ling Dan list.

  "120,000 mid-grade demon spirits can be exchanged!"

  1.2 million!

  Medium-grade demon spirit!

  Chen Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and this number seemed a bit exaggerated.

  120,000 4-6 level demon beasts, and even the Tian Ce Fu cannot withstand the crazy attack of 120,000 4-level demon beasts. It's still unknown how many years it will take to collect enough!

  Five years is too short!

  Chen Yuan gritted his teeth, knowing it was impossible, but thinking that with the jade stele in hand, he might be able to make the impossible possible, or even certain.

  Now I have Jade Stele, with unparalleled opportunity. Five years seemed to be hopeless, but it's not necessarily impossible to succeed. In five years, open the village, upgrade the fort, build the city, and even create a prefecture. As long as the prefecture is built, the city is established, the military team is formed, and the demon's nest can be surrounded!

  Chen Yuan ignited his endless will to fight, cultivating immortality and seeking the Tao, was originally against heaven. Now a small little demon grass swallowed soul, what's there to fear about it?

  ！

  "Five years is enough! Divine Snake, lend me a mouthful of primordial energy." Chen Yuan said firmly to the Divine Snake.

  The jade stele responded to Chen Yuan's will and spirit, flashing out waves of divine light. The divine snake on the stele connected with his guidance and replied: "Good!"

  After his voice fell, a mouthful of vigorous true yuan burst out from Chen Yuan's chest, and his whole body shone with a dazzling silver light, covering the morning sun's rays, making the entire room seem like a world in the snow.

  In the sea of consciousness, the nine primordial yuan qi transformed into ten different snakes to protect Chen Yuan's three souls and seven spirits, resisting the devouring of the Soul-Beckoning Grass.

  "This is my life's origin energy. Apart from removing the seal on your soul and resisting erosion, the remaining power should still be able to let you cultivate a small divine technique. I will pass it on to you, adding to your current survival power. However, after spitting out this mouthful of origin energy, I too will suffer greatly and need to rest for a period of time. You must be careful with everything and get through this disaster."

  The voice of the divine snake in his mind was slightly thinner, although it was also ordered by the jade stele, but helping Chen Yu to suppress the power of the soul-gathering medicine also moved Chen Yu greatly.

  "Thanks, Snake!"

  "It doesn't matter, as long as you grow up, help me revive and be able."

  "Definitely!"

  The snake in his mind had stopped responding and should have fallen into a deep sleep by now.

  Chen Yuan tried to circulate his true energy, and this time he really didn't see any illusions in his mind.

  Accept the divine snake's primordial energy, although most of it is sealed in the sea of consciousness to protect the soul, some remaining energy within the body surprisingly makes Chen Yuan on the verge of breaking through the middle stage of actual cultivation, and a small divine technique in his mind makes Chen Yuan excited.

  "Silver Snake Swallows the Moon's Breath! With this technique, my future cultivation of the Yin-Yang Cultivation and Demon God Technique will be greatly assisted. Moreover, I also have the Silver Snake Hand, a killing move that can defeat even those in the initial stages of Qi Refining!"

  "Wait till I've cultivated yin and yang, refined the Silver Snake Hand, then it'll be time for you, Bai Xiao Manor's master, to settle accounts, and also the time for you despicable people to pay with your lives."

  "But for now, I can only temporarily suppress my anger and first find a spiritual medicine to protect my heart."

  After some deliberation, Chen Yuan decided to lie low for the time being, tidied up his attire and went out to exchange medicine.
