Yue Hua raised her head and looked at Lu Chen, who was still resting with her eyes closed. She then laid on the ground gloomily, as she had experienced Lu Chen's state of mind before, "It's been one month since Lu Chen woke up. However, if Lu Chen can completely absorb the energy of that nascent soul, then he'll probably be able to reach the Aurous Core stage." As Yue Hua thought about this, she also closed her eyes and started to adjust her breathing. After all, the injuries on her body had yet to completely recover.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed. Yue Hua was in the middle of adjusting her condition with her eyes closed, when she was awoken by Lu Chen's loud laughter.

"Hahaha, I am now in the late Foundation Establishment stage. This is an existence I could only look up to before. Now, I am no longer the trash of the Lu family." Lu Chen smiled.

"Awoo!" Yue Hua wanted to say that it was obviously not a wolf tribe like the Howling Moon Wolves with a low bloodline.

"I told you so much and you can't answer me, I'm serious." "Lu Chen mocked himself." "However, from that Nascent Soul stage cultivator's memories, I know that this dead forest is a natural array, and coincidentally, when we were picking the fruits that day, the array changed, and I was also able to use the array's power because of that unknown fruit, so to put it that way, that fruit tree should be inside the array, but how did this array appear?" Lu Chen fell into deep thought as he finished speaking.

As Lu Chen thought about it for another three days, Yue Hua could only close her eyes and continue regulating her breathing, bored.

"Ah, seriously. I was thinking too much, but I still can't understand." Lu Chen said gloomily.

"If you can figure it out." Yue Hua looked at Lu Chen and thought.

Forget it, it's fortunate that Chen Yang spent the past twenty years researching this dead forest, allowing him to know the method to break through the formation. Thinking about it, I'm really lucky that I was able to fuse with him; if I hadn't eaten that fruit, I wouldn't have the strength to fight him. Lu Chen couldn't help but feel lucky when he thought about what he had learned from fusing Chen Yang's memories with his own.

"But I still can't understand how you and I were there. Didn't I lose consciousness?" Lu Chen said.

"Of course I did." Yue Hua thought.

"You don't know either. Forget it, I'll just say that my luck is good. But to get out of this array, I need to reach the Aurous Core stage. My current cultivation level is still too low." Lu Chen said.

"Ao!" Yue Hua wants you to know as well.

"In the remaining time, I'll focus all my energy on my cultivation. Chen Yang has quite a few superior cultivation techniques, and the Flame Mantra is quite suitable for me. In addition, Chen Yang was an alchemist when he was alive, so I need to properly study it." "With that said, Lu Chen took out a storage ring. It was originally Chen Yang's, but now that Chen Yang is dead, it became completely convenient for him. According to his knowledge and Chen Yang's memories, he found a few bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills to aid in raising the cultivation of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. He took one out and fed another two to Yue Hua." Yue Hua, don't be lazy either. " Lu Chen said to Yue Hua. After all of this was done, Lu Chen took out the Flame Mantra and opened it up to carefully study it.

Time passed by quickly. In the blink of an eye, two years had passed. Lu Chen was now 33 years old, but the passage of time had not left any traces on his face.

"Flame Dragon, appear." As he said this, a dragon formed from flames appeared in his hands. The dragon roared and attacked a tree in front of him. The tree immediately turned into ashes, but it grew back within the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

"It's like this again. Even if the trees in this forest are destroyed, they will still grow back immediately." After a long while, Lu Chen raised his head and looked into the distance as he muttered to himself, "It's been two years, and I've finally reached the great circle of Foundation Establishment. Moreover, I can feel that I'm close to the Core Formation stage, and the Flame Mantra has already allowed me to cultivate to the fifth stage, and only then will I be able to cultivate to the Core Formation stage. It seems like the matter of the Core Formation is extremely urgent."

"Ao!" Yue Hua ran to Lu Chen's side and rubbed against him.

"Yuehua, you are now a Rank 5 Spirit Beast, equivalent to an Aurous Core stage cultivator. How come your body hasn't changed at all?" Lu Chen said as he held Yue Hua and looked at her.

"Ao!" Yue Hua seemed to enjoy Lu Chen's embrace a lot. She immediately found a comfortable place to crawl into Lu Chen's arms.

"You." Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Yue Hua in his arms. "Fine, I'll give myself a few days' leave." Lu Chen said.

After two years of intense cultivation, he suddenly stopped. Lu Chen suddenly felt that something wasn't right. He suddenly thought of Chen Yang's Alchemy skill as well as the herbs in his storage ring. Thus, he began to study alchemy in high spirits.

Bang! A loud sound rang out from the depths of the dead forest. Lu Chen looked at the dregs in front of him and gloomily said: "The furnace has already exploded five times already. Could it be that I really don't have talent in alchemy? "No, I don't believe it. I've said before that I had no talent in cultivation, but now I've also reached the great circle of the late Foundation Establishment stage. Even the first genius of the Core Formation stage, Frozen Dust, only formed at the age of fifty. Thus, under Yue Hua's resentful gaze, Lu Chen continued to devote himself to the great cause of refining pills.

In this year, all of Lu Chen's energy was focused on refining pills. In the beginning, Lu Chen was not proficient, but every time he failed, he would slowly become proficient, and the rate of singularity would become higher and higher, and the quality of the pills would also become better and better. As he was proficient in the techniques, Lu Chen was already beginning to produce Grade Four pills, which was very encouraging for a beginner like him. As Lu Chen continued to refine elixirs, his own aura also slowly began to change. Right now, he was only a step away from the Core Formation stage, and this step was not too far away.

"Rumble." Thunder rumbled outside the dead forest. Lu Chen sat under a tree and raised his head to look at the sky. Yue Hua was currently looking worriedly at Lu Chen as they waited for the heavenly thunder to strike.

Lu Chen gathered all the spiritual energy in his body into his Dantian and continuously compressed the spiritual energy. Slowly, a round ball appeared in Lu Chen's Dantian. The round ball became smaller and smaller as it continued to compress, finally forming a golden, elixir like Jindan. Lu Chen's Jindan was smooth and round, indicating the high quality of his Jindan.

Lu Chen stood up and felt the power in his body, "This is the Core Bearing Stage. As expected, that lightning will not fall. " "Since the time when the moonlight had made its breakthrough, the heavenly thunders did not descend upon Lu Chen, so Lu Chen suspected that the Forest of Death could be used as a shield. Now, it seems that his deduction had been correct, which made him more interested in the Forest of Death." It's a pity that I have to go back in a hurry, otherwise I would have to study you properly. " Lu Chen looked at the dead Lin and said with a hint of reluctance, "This is Lu Chen." Yue Hua, let's go home. " Lu Chen said.

"Ao!" Yue Hua excitedly followed behind Lu Chen.

"Phew, I finally made it out." Lu Chen stood outside the forest, looking back at the darkness with fear in his heart.

Previously, when he found out that the Forest of Death was an array, he was curious about it and studied it. During his research, he corrected Chen Yang by leaving behind an unreasonable place.

"I will come back when I have the chance." Lu Chen turned around and looked at the dead forest as he muttered to himself. After a while, Lu Chen turned around with a resolute expression and said, "I, Lu Chen of the Lu Family, have returned." With that said, Lu Chen carried Yue Hua and flew towards the Lu family.
