Chapter 107: Your Cheat Code Has Been Renewed

Looking at the black pearl in front of him, Chen An fell into contemplation.What exactly is this thing?

Just from the surface, this thing looks very unusual, like some kind of rare treasure?

The energy feeling that made Chen An faintly excited came from this black pearl.

But there was also a problem.

What exactly is this thing?

Is there any danger in picking it up?

Chen An couldn't help but have this thought, but then he still reached out his hand.

Regardless, this is ready-made energy. Since it's right in front of him, can he just let it go?

If he did, Chen An would probably really regret it.

He definitely has to take it.

But he could be cautious about it.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen An pulled out his long knife, used the long knife to pick up the black pearl, threw it aside, and directly moved it outside of the altar.

The process went smoothly, and basically didn't cause any abnormal reactions.

Everything was normal, as if nothing had happened.

Until the black pearl was far away from the altar, coming to Chen An's feet, nothing strange happened.

It seems like there's no danger?

Chen An couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but out of caution, he wrapped layer after layer of his hand before daring to touch the black pearl.

This is also to avoid poisoning.

After all, there are still so many black wind grasses outside. Who knows if there are any toxins on this black pearl.

If there were, touching it directly with his hand would be disastrous.

He could then prepare for his funeral.

"Absorb a strand of the essence of heaven and earth."

A line of subtitles appeared, making Chen An feel both familiar and unfamiliar.

The reason for feeling unfamiliar was that the content that appeared now was different from the past.

Essence of heaven and earth?

This is the first time the word has appeared in the template, it has never appeared before.

But it remains to be seen what it does.

But soon, Chen An knew the purpose of this thing.

In front of him, the column of source power was rapidly rising, at a very fast pace.

Could it be that this so-called essence of heaven and earth is source power?

A smile appeared on Chen An's face.

But it was indeed a pleasant surprise.

He had come to this place just thinking about practicing, not expecting such a unexpected gain.

It remains to be seen what this black pearl actually is and how much source power it can provide him.

Chen An was looking forward to it, thoughts flashing through his mind.

The final fact proved that the surprise the black pearl gave Chen An was significant.

Because in just a moment, the source power on Chen An's body increased by nearly thirty points.

Thirty points of source power!

It was already comparable to the harvest from a previous simulation.

It was like his luck was off the charts.

And this wasn't even the end, there was more to come.

After a one-time surge, Chen An could clearly feel that the growth of the source power on his body had slowed down, the speed gradually slowing down a lot.

He looked ahead.

The black pearl was originally a pure black color, like a black gemstone.

But now most of the black color had faded, revealing a transparent color, like a special crystal bead.

Most of the remaining power had already been absorbed by Chen An.

A good thing.

Feeling the slowly increasing source power on his body, a smile appeared on Chen An's face. He carefully placed the black pearl on himself and walked out.

He didn't stay long before leaving, and no one outside noticed his actions at all.

Of course, it was more likely that they didn't see clearly.

After all, this place was too dark.

Even with torches for illumination, visibility wasn't that smooth.

"It's about time to go."

Chen An glanced at the guide.

The guide was squatting on the ground, digging with enthusiasm. When he heard Chen An's voice, he turned back and coughed softly, "It's about time."

"Let's go."

Chen An looked up.

The black moss that had grown nearby had been dug up, leaving no trace behind.

This was a good thing.

The next time someone came, they probably wouldn't have to worry about poisoning anymore.

However, from another perspective, after Chen An took away the black pearl, it was unlikely that anyone else would be led here.

The cries for help that Chen An heard earlier were probably from that black pearl.

When he touched the black pearl just now, Chen An could vaguely see some scenes.

Those were some scenes that had happened here in the past, people coming here and then touching the black moss, dying here one by one.

Their dying cries were left behind and recorded by the black pearl.

The cries for help that Chen An heard earlier were probably related to this.

It was not sinister, but another unique phenomenon.

As he made his way back to his previous place of practice, Chen An was pondering a question.

What exactly is this black pearl in his hand?

According to the hints from the template, this black pearl contains pure essence of heaven and earth.

This seems to match the description of a treasure land.

The so-called treasure land is a place that contains the essence of heaven and earth, forming a unique environment that is beneficial for cultivation.

So is this black pearl a unique treasure nurtured within this treasure land? Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ N0vᴇlFire(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

If that's the case, if this place has it, would other places have it too?

Chen An was curious about that.

There was no other way.

He had been in this world for a long time, always working hard and steadily.

But to be honest, if he could cheat, who would want to advance slowly?

Chen An wasn't paranoid, nor was he a masochist.

He didn't cheat purely because he thought it wasn't worth it, not for any other reason.

But if there were ways to obtain source power in this world, why not cheat a little?

Cheating would increase his strength, and with increased strength, he could gather more source power.

The plan was quite reasonable.

"It seems I should consider targeting a few more treasure lands in the future."

As he returned to the place of practice, Chen An couldn't help but think about it.

It had been several days since he obtained the black pearl.

The people brought down by the guide had already left, eager to sell off the black wind grass they had on hand.

In the vast mine, only Chen An remained sitting alone, continuing his practice.

And then, he once again noticed something unusual.

His practice had started well, but gradually something seemed off.

Why did the effectiveness of practicing in this area seem to be decreasing?

The place Chen An had chosen to practice was the best part of this treasure land.

According to what the guide had said before, this treasure land had encountered some mishaps in the past, resulting in a significant reduction in its effects, leaving only a few places that still maintained a decent effect.

Many other places had become ordinary, no longer worthy of being called treasure lands.

However, these past few days, Chen An could clearly feel the degradation in the surrounding areas.

The effectiveness of practicing here was weakening.

Initially, Chen An was very puzzled by this.

He had been here for several months, and nothing had happened before. Everything was fine.

Why now, in just a few days, did this place change so drastically?

And it was changing every day, getting worse than the day before.

At this rate, this place would probably soon become just a regular place.

With doubts in his mind, Chen An began to explore.

And then, he found the culprit.

It was none other than the black pearl he had brought.

Previously, the black pearl had been sucked dry by Chen An, the entire black pearl had turned transparent, with no trace of black remaining, looking like a beautiful crystal ball.

But now, after several days, a faint black color mysteriously appeared on the black pearl, as if it had been recharged.

With a gentle touch, it was clear that it could still absorb source power.

Now, Chen An couldn't not know what was going on.

It turns out this black pearl could absorb the power of the surrounding environment to replenish itself, like a battery that could charge itself.

This was incredible.

Looking at the nearly depleted practice area around him, which now looked no different from other places, Chen An couldn't help but suspect that this thing might have caused the calamity that greatly weakened the effects of practicing.

It seemed quite possible.

From the looks of it, this black pearl had been here for a long time, slowly draining the power of this treasure land over time. This seemed to be a very reasonable thing.

But it had nothing to do with him.

On the contrary, for Chen An, this was a great thing.

Originally, this pearl could only be used once. Once the source power inside was sucked dry, it would be useless. But now, it was clearly a rechargeable battery!

Suck it dry once, leave it here for a while, and then suck it again after a while.

Is there anything better than this?

In Chen An's eyes, there was not.

Over the next period of time, Chen An walked around this treasure land.

To be more precise, he caused trouble.

The place where he had previously been in seclusion had only lasted a few days before becoming unusable, the essence of heaven and earth in the surrounding environment being sucked dry and having no effect.

So Chen An began to constantly change places.

Fortunately, this treasure land was vast, and although most of the areas had become unusable, there were still many places left.

More than enough to charge the pearl.

And so, about three months later, Chen An left this place.

"Master Chen, are you sure you don't want to stay a bit longer inside?"

Looking at Chen An, who had proactively applied to leave, the guide was a bit surprised and puzzled, "The Third Prince has already spoken to me, Master, if you want, you can stay a bit longer inside, no need to rush out."

"No need."

Facing the guide's puzzled gaze, Chen An felt a little guilty, but still shook his head with a smile, showing a calm appearance, "Half a year of practice, I feel that my practice is already sufficient, and I don't need to waste any more time in there."

"If there is a chance in the future, I will come back to find you."

He spoke calmly.

There was no way he could stay.
