Chapter 9 - Barrier Breaking Pill
Black Wind Mountain Range, a pitch-black underground space.
After Fang Chen landed on the ground, he realized that this was an extremely small space. However, in this space, the spirit energy seemed to be thicker than the outside world.
"What is this place?"
In a foreign land, Fang Chen checked the place vigilantly.
Because it was too dark, Fang Chen could only barely see that the surroundings were walls and the entire space was empty.
Just as Fang Chen was thinking, the big hole in the sky suddenly disappeared.
"What's going on?"
Fang Chen was a little doubtful.
Fang Chen wanted to understand this place as soon as possible before leaving this place.
Fang Chen took out a fire piston from his spatial ring, and then, produced a bit of fire.
Only now did Fang Chen realize that this space was extremely small, with a praying mat at the very front.
"It seems like this space should be a cultivation ground. I wonder who has cultivated here before." Fang Chen slightly said.
Fang Chen walked over to the praying mat and examined it for a bit. After which, he walked over to the four walls and started observing them carefully.
A moment later, Fang Chen found four diagrams on the wall.
On the first wall, there was a row of small words. Below it was a picture of a man holding a longsword and cultivating a sword technique.
"Golden Light Sword Technique."
Fang Chen saw the small words on the wall. The general content of these small words was to say that the four diagrams on the four walls were the broken four swords of the Golden Light Sword Technique.
"Golden Light Sword Technique, a total of seven swords. The complete Golden Light Sword Technique, is comparable to a low rank cultivation technique, its power is extremely strong."
"If my Green Edge Sword Sect's disciples are fortunate enough to be here, we can cultivate the last four swords of the Golden Light Sword Technique."
"Xie Tiannan" was written at the bottom.
"Xie Tiannan? Could he be the legendary disciple of the Green Edge Sword Sect? " When Fang Chen saw the two words Xie Tiannan, he was extremely shocked.
Xie Tiannan had been very inconspicuous in the Outer Sect back then, but in a competition of disciples, Xie Tiannan had actually used the Golden Light Sword Technique, and it was even an incomplete three strikes, with incomparably tyrannical might.
It was only then that all the disciples found out that the number one in the outer sect, had always been Xie Tiannan.
From then on, Xie Tiannan entered the inner sect and after a year, he disappeared without a trace.
Xie Tiannan's disappearance shook the entire Green Edge Sword Sect, but in the end, not a single trace was found.
"I never thought that this would be Xie Tiannan's cultivation grounds." Fang Chen said softly after he lost his voice.
Back then, Xie Tiannan was known as the hope to revive the Green Edge Sword Sect. He rose up like a comet, but suddenly disappeared.
"How did Xie Tiannan obtain the last four swords of the Golden Light Sword Technique?" Fang Chen was a little doubtful.
Unable to understand, he decided not to think about it anymore. With the four swords of the Golden Light Sword Technique, Fang Chen would be extremely excited.
Fang Chen did not waste anymore time, and quickly memorized all four swords of the Golden Light Sword Technique.
An hour later, Fang Chen memorized all four diagrams, and a trace of a smile appeared on his face.
A perfect Golden Light Sword Technique was comparable to a low rank cultivation technique.
Secondary rank cultivation technique, that was a cultivation technique that only inner disciples were qualified to cultivate. It was said that its power was incomparably strong.
"If I can cultivate the Golden Light Sword Technique to the level of Perfection, even in the inner sect, I wouldn't fear anyone." Fang Chen said.
Unintentionally entering Xie Tiannan's cultivation grounds, and obtaining the last four swords of the Golden Light Sword Technique, Fang Chen was very happy in his heart.
When Fang Chen had memorized all four diagrams, his gaze focused on the bottom right corner of the fourth wall.
"Being able to come to my training grounds can be considered fate. There is a Barrier Breaking Pill buried under this wall. It should be considered a small gift for you."
Seeing this, Fang Chen was extremely excited.
"Barrier Breaking Pill, Xie Tiannan actually left a Barrier Breaking Pill."
Barrier Breaking Pill was an ordinary pill and was very rare in the Green Edge Sword Sect. He didn't expect to get it here.
After a cultivator consumed the Barrier Breaking Pill, he would have a fifty percent chance of successfully breaking through the bottleneck and advancing to the next small realm.
Of course, the Barrier Breaking Pellet was very effective for warriors below the Fourth level of the Refinement Realm. For high level warriors, it was not very effective, and the probability of it happening became lower and lower.
"Let's see."
Fang Chen squatted down, and started to look for the Barrier Breaking Pill, and after a while, he found a small box. Fang Chen opened it.
Inside the box was a pitch-black pill.
In the ancient sword continent, there were many alchemists who could refine extraordinary pills.
The most ordinary are apprentice apothecaries, apothecaries, and apothecaries...
For an apprentice apothecary to be able to forge an ordinary pill, this kind of pill wasn't considered valuable to a sect.
As for an alchemist, being able to refine Common Grade medicinal pills, this kind of medicinal pill was already extremely valuable. As for an alchemist, being able to refine Yuan Grade pills, it was practically priceless.
"My realm has already reached the pinnacle of the Second level of the Refinement Realm. If I swallow the Barrier Breaking Pill, I will have the chance to reach the Third level of the Refinement Realm." Fang Chen said.
After that, Fang Chen decided to swallow the Barrier Breaking Pill.
Sitting cross-legged on the praying mat, Fang Chen swallowed the Barrier Breaking Pill.
When the Barrier Breaking Pellet entered his body, Fang Chen felt the effect of the Barrier Breaking Pellet dispersing instantly into his bones and limbs.
"A warm current is surging unceasingly."
Fang Chen could feel a warm current surging within his body. At the same time, the surrounding nature's spirit energy also continuously entered Fang Chen's body, tempering his body.
Hiss, hiss, hiss …
Even when the effects of the Barrier Breaking Pellet was about to dissipate, Fang Chen still did not feel any signs of breaking through.
"Can't I break through?" Fang Chen thought.
However, just as the last trace of the Barrier Breaking Pill was about to dissipate, his golden heart beat even faster.
Thump, thump, thump …
The beating of the golden heart made Fang Chen feel a strong sense of presence, which immediately appeared from within the golden heart.
Ka-cha …
Fang Chen's body absorbed the last bit of the Barrier Breaking Pill's medicinal effect, and after his body strengthened to a certain point, a cracking sound could be heard.
In the next moment, Fang Chen opened his eyes, and his face revealed a smile.
"Third level of the Refinement Realm."
That's right, at the very last moment, his golden heart beat helped Fang Chen to successfully break through to the Third level of the Refinement Realm.
"If I were to fight Liu Feng and Wen Yu now, I can kill them instantly." Fang Chen sighed.
There was a huge difference between the second stage and the Third level of the Refinement Realm.
After reaching the Third level of the Refinement Realm, Fang Chen's strength had become even more tyrannical. At the very least, Fang Chen thought that in the outer sect, there were very few disciples who could fight against him.
"Wen Zhengyun, Ye Lin, I will take back the humiliation that you two have given me multiple times." Fang Chen said coldly.
When Fang Chen made a breakthrough, he started to look for the exit.
Two hours later, Fang Chen appeared in a secluded place inner area.
"We've finally made it out. This time's harvest is great." Fang Chen looked around at the towering ancient trees and said.
It had been almost a month since he came to Black Wind Mountain Range, so Fang Chen prepared to return.
The objective of the experiential learning had been achieved, and the Black Spirit Grass had been found.
… ….
In a separate courtyard in the outer sect of Green Edge Sword Sect, Wen Zhengyun, dressed in white, sat quietly with a face full of smiles.
Sitting opposite him was a red-clothed Ye Lin. The full twin peaks made Wen Zhengyun feel like he was unable to stop himself from looking at them.
"Senior Brother Wen, why aren't Liu Feng and Wen Yu back yet?" Ye Lin asked.
"Junior Sister Ye, don't worry, Wen Yu and Liu Feng both have Third level of the Refinement Realm, killing Fang Chen will be easy, they should have gone there to train as well." Wen Zhengyun said confidently.
"I don't feel at ease at all, this Fang Chen seems to have become a completely different person in this period of time." Ye Lin said.
"Hmph, trash is still trash after all. There are still five days until the The outer sect competition. At that time, he will be dead." Wen Zhengyun said fiercely.
"Mn, I believe in Senior Brother Wen." Ye Lin smiled at Wen Zhengyun and said.
"Junior Sister Ye, does your sister know what you're doing?" Suddenly, Wen Zhengyun asked.
Wen Zhengyun liked Ye Lin and had always been chasing after him, so he was relatively clear about some of Ye Lin's matters.
The reason why Ye Lin was targeting Fang Chen, was because the Ye Family strongly opposed this marriage. Ye Lin wanted to kill Fang Chen and cripple that marriage.
Hearing Wen Zhengyun's words, Ye Lin was stunned, she immediately shook her head and did not speak anymore.
"Junior Sister Ye..."
"Senior Brother Wen, I'll be going back first. When there's news, you must tell me." Ye Lin stopped Wen Zhengyun from speaking, stood up and turned to leave.
… ….
After Fang Chen left the Black Wind Mountain Range, he did not rush back to the Green Edge Sword Sect and instead went straight to the Windy City.
The Windy City was the region where the Green Edge Sword Sect resided.
Within the Windy City, it was extremely lively. It was a city of the Greencloud County. The reason why Fang Chen came here was to sell some of the demon beast corpses.
After entering the Windy City, Fang Chen relied on his memories and arrived at one of the Ancient Sword Trading Company's Windy Branch s.
The Ancient Sword Trading Company was a trading company that spread throughout the entire Ancient Sword Continent. It had branches in every city in the Ancient Sword Continent, so no one knew of the power behind the Ancient Sword Trading Company.
However, almost no martial artist dared to come to the Ancient Sword Trading Company to cause trouble.
immediately informed the staff after entering the Ancient Sword Trading Company that he wanted to sell ten demon beasts, and that they were all Third level of the Refinement Realm ranked demon beasts.
This news alarmed a Deacon Elder of the Windy Branch.
Not long later, the Deacon Elder brought Fang Chen to a VIP room.
The Deacon Elder sized Fang Chen up. After a long while, he said: "Little friend, I heard that you want to sell ten demon beast corpses, and all of them are at the Third level of the Refinement Realm rank?"
"As long as the price is suitable."
"Can I take a look at the goods first?" Deacon Elder said.
Crash …
Instantly, ten demon beast corpses appeared in the room, emitting a strong fishy smell.
However, Deacon Elder's eyes lit up and there was a hint of excitement on his face.
