"Crunch" accompanied by a piercing sound, the wooden door slowly opened, and Han Chen, who was wearing a long robe, slowly walked out.

Standing in front of the wooden house, Han Chen's eyes were slightly closed, and he took a deep breath, and the cold air poured into his lungs, allowing it to surge and flow in his body.

After a long time, Han Chen let out a long breath of turbidity.

Although it is now the middle of January and the climate temperature is starting to rise, this only applies to the outside world, and for the 100,000 mountains, it will always be a land of ice and snow.

A light snow in three days and a heavy snow in five days are almost an eternal law.

Looking at the snowflakes in the air that were sprinkled and falling slowly, Han Chen's face showed a touch of comfort, for him with a cold spirit body, this kind of weather was undoubtedly his favorite.

Stepping on the thick layer of snow on the ground, in the crunching sound, he slowly walked to the stone table by the waterhole, bent down to sweep the snow from the stone bench, and sat down.

There was also a thick layer of snow on the stone table, but Han Chen didn't sweep it away, turned his palm over, took out a wine jug from the empty ring, and took out a few carefully prepared dried meats, and placed them directly on the stone table.

Drinking 100 days of drunkenness, eating delicious dried meat, and watching the snow scene, Han Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and at this time he only felt extremely calm.

A pot of 100 days drunk, a few plates of dried meat were quickly swept away by Han Chen.

However, he did not get up, his mind sank completely into his body, entered the sea of knowledge, and began to check the condition of his soul.

Waking up from his cultivation, he only checked the injuries in his body. and the cultivation realm, but there is no view of the soul.

It's not that he forgot, but something that doesn't quite dare.

For him, one time is almost the limit, but when he fought with Ouyang Shu and others, he performed it twice in succession.

For him, this is an overdraft, an overdraft at the limit of his soul power.

The amount of soul power is very mysterious, and Han Chen doesn't know what to do. Even Guiguzi still can't say clearly. However, this did not affect his knowledge of how dangerous it was for him to overdraw his soul power.

In the sea of knowledge, Han Chen, who was condensed by the strength of his soul, slowly emerged.

The soul cannot be perceived, cannot be touched. However, some soul power is strong enough to a certain extent. But it can be after death. Condense the soul power and become a soul body.

And what is even more powerful is to condense the soul power. Transformed into a ghost body and existed in another way.

It's about the same as Guiguzi's state. However, the ghost body is a notch stronger than the soul body.

The soul body belongs to that kind of tangible and intangible state, which can be seen, but cannot be touched, and does not have much combat power.

And the ghost body is between the tangible and the tangible and the tangible, and the combat power it has is naturally stronger.

However, compared with Guiguzi, whether it is a soul body or a ghost body, it is a grade different.

Although Guiguzi also belongs to the category of ghost bodies, after all, they all have no flesh.

But Guiguzi is a body of the primordial god whose soul power is condensed and powerful to a certain level.

It is tangible and qualitative, except that there is no flesh and blood, and there is not much difference from normal people.

As for strength, it is naturally much stronger, which can be seen from the strength shown by Guiguzi in the past.

It's just that whether it is a soul body, a ghost body, or a primordial god body, it is too far away for Han Chen.

His soul is indeed too much stronger than that of ordinary people, but for the alchemist who specializes in relying on soul power to eat, he is still too weak, and for Guiguzi, he is even more like an ant.

At this time, even if he was in the sea of knowledge, Han Chen couldn't find out where his soul was.

This was because his soul power was not yet at the level of condensation, but only a gas-like existence.

But it didn't make a difference to him.

Looking around, he glanced at the vast sea of knowledge, then retracted his gaze and sat cross-legged, Han Chen's soul power converged, his mind was extremely condensed, and he began to slowly perceive it.

This was the only way he could investigate the condition of his soul, although it was a little troublesome, but it was more than one level stronger than those alchemists who were still unable to investigate the amount of soul power even if they reached the second or third grade level.

Sit quietly and slowly perceive and investigate.

Han Chen was not in a hurry, because for him, there were only two results, either because the soul power was seriously overdrawn, which caused the soul to be traumatized, and he needed to slowly recuperate before he could recover.

Either that's just that the soul power is overdrawn, and it's very lucky that the soul is not damaged.

Two results, no matter which one it is, Han Chen has already sat down mentally prepared.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that in addition to these two results, there was a third one.

"Well, there is not the slightest damage, on the contrary, the soul power is three times stronger than before, and even the purity of the essence has doubled!" After a moment, Han Chen's eyes opened violently, his face full of stunned and disbelief.

"Hehe, what's the matter, the surprise came too fast, can't you accept it all of a sudden?" At this moment, Guiguzi suddenly appeared in front of Han Chen and said with a smile.

"Surprise?" Han Chen, who was shocked by the change in his soul power, heard Guiguzi's words, and suddenly didn't react, looking dazed.

But the next moment, he reacted, looked at Guiguzi, his eyes widened, and he only felt that his heartbeat instantly became violent, and he forced himself to suppress the excitement and excitement in his heart, and asked with some uncertainty: "Teacher, my soul power has broken through?"

"Hmm!" Guiguzi smiled and nodded slightly.

Seeing Guiguzi nodding, Han Chen's delicate face, which was condensed by soul power and was still a little illusory, quickly appeared with excitement and excitement.

His soul power had already reached the peak level of a first-grade alchemist, and he hadn't improved in the slightest since then.

Han Chen knew that this was the culmination of a level and a realm, and it was a bottleneck, and if you wanted to break through, you had to break through that bottleneck.

As for the level after breaking the bottleneck, it should be the level of the second-grade alchemist.

At this time, the amount of soul power has increased so hugely. It was that bottleneck that was pierced and he was promoted to the level of a second-grade alchemist.

According to Han Chen's estimate, if you want to break through the bottleneck and advance to the level of a second-grade alchemist, it will take at least about half a year or so, and it will take several months at the earliest.

But I didn't expect that now, it will be such a breakthrough.

What does the increase in soul power mean to Han Chen. He knew it perfectly.

Alchemy. Finally, I can put it on the agenda and start learning in earnest. As for alchemy, it is not far away, and the soul power is powerful. Let Han Chen's speed of comprehension of the basic entry formation in the 'exchange' position of the giant gossip array. There will definitely be a big boost.

A month or two at most. Then you can fully comprehend it. At that time, you will be able to comprehend the true formation in the 'Kun' position and condense the formation seal. Alchemy can also begin to be learned.

Comparatively speaking, the study of alchemy is much more troublesome and difficult, after all, it all depends on how much you master the formation seal, and the number of formation seals is closely related to the formation you master, and the mastery of the formation is related to the strength of the soul power, which can be described as a ring and a ring.

However, Han Chen was not in a hurry.

Everything was difficult at the beginning, and now that he has passed the most difficult beginning, he will soon be able to start on the right track of his practice, and if he persists, one day he will be able to master it thoroughly.

Moreover, as the soul power became stronger and stronger, the speed of the comprehension formation became faster and faster, and even the speed of learning alchemy would also increase.

Although the study of alchemy seemed difficult and troublesome, it did not mean that Han Chen's cultivation time would be very long.

The increase in the amount of soul power is not only of great help to the cultivation of alchemy, alchemy, and Qimen Dunjia, but it is slowly manifested, just like the waterway of a stream is expanded, although the flow of the stream has become much larger, but it also takes a certain amount of time to fill a lake.

In contrast, the biggest help is the improvement of Han Chen's strength.

At this time, the results were immediate.

The increase in the amount of soul power has greatly improved the acuity and scope of soul perception.

The most important thing was the means of soul attack that Han Chen had mastered.

Purple pupils!

Although the power of the purple pupil is only devastating to the Sword Warrior Realm and the third-level Warcraft, it will be weakened a lot for the Sword Spirit Realm and the fourth-level Warcraft.

But just because it's weakened doesn't mean it's ineffective.

When the masters fight, what they fight for is the opportunity of that moment. And the purple pupil is precisely that momentary opportunity.

For the purple pupil, Han Chen only had one power to exert before, but now, he estimated that he would have to cast it four times in a row before he would be exhausted, of course, if it was the limit, it should be five times.

It's just that if you do it five times, you may hurt your soul, and even if you don't hurt your soul, you will fall into a coma.

Han Chen naturally wouldn't let himself fall into a coma, because that meant looking for death, no matter how strong his physical body was, in a coma, even if he was just an ordinary person, he could chop off his head.

However, even if there are only four times of power, it is much better than before.

His strength has increased by at least forty percent.

If he could perform four times in the face of Ouyang Shu and the others that day, then he was ninety percent sure that Ouyang Shu, Li San and the others could all stay.

Of course, if Han Chen was determined to kill Ouyang Shu, it would not be impossible.

After all, in addition to the purple pupils, he also has the powerful and powerful Samadhi True Fire. After the Samadhi True Fire entered the Triple Heaven, it was more powerful than the previous Triple Heaven, and it was more than a little bit stronger.

In the face of the Samadhi True Fire, Han Chen didn't believe that Ouyang Shu and the two had a chance to live.

It's just that if that's the case, Han Chen doesn't want to get out and leave.

Compared with the time of the Double Heaven, the power of the Samadhi True Fire of the Triple Heaven has indeed increased a lot, but correspondingly, the consumption of the True Yuan has also become more terrifying.

In that case, if the Third Sister True Fire was used to incinerate Ouyang Shu and the others, Han Chen's True Yuan would be exhausted, and Qingluan's wings would dissipate in an instant, and at that time, once the other teams and demonic beasts felt it, even if he returned to his heyday, it would be difficult to fly.

So Han Chen chose to give up and get out and leave, instead of fighting for the gains and losses of that moment.

Retracted his thoughts and turned his head to look at Guiguzi with a smile on his face. Han Chen asked suspiciously, "Teacher, why did my soul not suffer the slightest injury, but broke through?"

For Han Chen, the increase in soul power was a big surprise, but it was also very unreasonable.

After all, it is too illogical to overdraw the soul power, not only did it damage the soul, but also improved the breakthrough.

"Hehe, there's nothing surprising!" Guiguzi smiled and shook his head. Dao: "Your soul power has been stuck in this bottleneck for quite some time. The so-called accumulation of thick and thin. All you need is a thrill, an opportunity!"

"This overdraft may seem dangerous, but it just detonates. Elevate breakthroughs. It makes sense!"

Hear Guiguzi's words. Han Chen's brows furrowed, and he immediately shook his head, his soul was too mysterious. He didn't understand it anyway.

However, he understands the truth, and cultivation is the same truth, and after accumulating for a long time, it is like a volcano, and a little stimulation will erupt

The improvement of his state of mind cultivation and the improvement of his soul power made Han Chen's heart extremely happy, because this meant that in the next period of time, as long as he was willing, his strength would be greatly improved.

It's just that Han Chen didn't rush to improve his strength, and even put aside his daily True Qi cultivation for the time being.

So far in his cultivation, he has already had a lot of experience in the way of relaxation.

Cultivation is to tap one's own potential, borrow the power of heaven and earth, and strengthen oneself.

But it's not just endless desperate work.

Since entering the 100,000 Great Mountain, Han Chen has been cultivating all the time, strengthening himself, his mind and nerves are like a round bow that has been drawn into a full moon, tensed tightly.

The so-called overdoing and proper relaxation will achieve unexpected results.

Now that his state of mind cultivation has been promoted to the late six-star stage, Han Chen has not gone out again, looking for those teams, and experiencing the feeling of life and death.

Just stay in the small valley, practice the sword every day, don't go to understand anything, just hold the long sword, practice the sword style, don't use the true element, don't use the physical strength, just like an ordinary person, practice the sword.

In my spare time, I will go to the waterhole to soak for a few hours, catch a few whitebait, and try it.

When it snows, he sits on a stone bench, drinks 100 days of drunkenness, and drinks his own carefully grilled food.

Looking at the snowflakes falling slowly one by one, I quietly felt the elegant and serene atmosphere.

Even, one day, Han Chen suddenly became interested, and he wanted to count to see what extent his assets had reached now.

Such as magic cores, how many are there at each level. Ore metal, how many, is there anything rare.

Pills, herbs, martial arts, weapons, etc., were also counted carefully.

I don't know how to count it, and it really scared him.

Originally, he had a lot of assets, but then he got a lot, and after killing the enemy, he seized the opponent's empty ring, and his assets naturally increased a lot.

Later, he was a little vague about how many assets he owned.

Now that's a lot.

Now there are more than 5,000 magic cores in Han Chen, among which the high-level is the sixth-order magic core of the Qingluan Divine Bird, and then the fifth-order magic core of the Blood Python Golden Jiao.

The rest are the third-order, third-order, and fourth-order demon cores.

The second order has the most, with more than 4,000 pieces, the third order has more than 800 pieces, and the fourth order has more than 300 pieces.

Others, such as herbs, ores, metals, etc., are even more numerous.

There are as many as 1230,000 medicinal herbs, and there are many types, there are more than 1,300 kinds, but there is no genius earth treasure level.

There are also more than 30,000 pieces of ore metal, of different sizes and types, but unfortunately they are not too rare.

There are also pills, which have also been obtained, but they are all mainland goods, among which the Huiqi Pill is the most, with more than 3,000 pills, which is really a lot.

However, Han Chen was not too happy about this Qi Pill, because as his cultivation realm became higher and higher, the side effects of the Qi Returning Pill became more and more obvious.

In contrast, Han Chen was quite interested in the Yuan Spirit Pill taken by the Sword Spirit Realm.

It's a pity that he hasn't killed a martial artist in the Sword Spirit Realm, so he didn't have a chance to get it.

Weapons, Han Chen didn't bother to look at them, although there were a lot of them, but the best quality was only a fourth-grade spirit weapon, which was not attractive to him.

As for martial arts, Han Chen had a lot of hope.

"Your uncle, there are so many martial arts scrolls, and none of them are of the local level!" After flipping through all the nearly a hundred martial arts scrolls, Han Chen couldn't help but scold.

There are indeed a lot of martial arts scrolls, there are one hundred and thirty-seven volumes, sword martial arts, sword martial arts, body martial arts, martial arts, and so on.

It's a pity that the level is not high, and the highest is only the fifth grade of the Xuan Rank, and there is no other volume of the local level.

What Han Chen is cultivating now is in addition to the "Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada" at the Xuan-level five-grade level. The rest of the "Yama Emperor Quenching Body Sutra", "Cold Snow Sword Technique", and even the "Ice Splitting Inch Strength" created by himself are all martial arts of the local class.

Among the one hundred and thirty-seven volumes of martial arts, although there are some good ones, for Han Chen, they are chicken ribs, and he will not give up the ground-level martial arts to cultivate the martial arts of the Xuan level.

Despite some disappointments, the overall gain was remarkable.

In addition to the staggering number of items such as magic cores and pills, Han Chen's wealth was the most.

There are more than 80 five-pattern purple gold cards, and there are more than 100 other four-pattern and three-pattern purple gold cards.

Counting it up, Han Chen's wealth assets, even if they are some of the strength of the sect of the ninth grade, may not be as strong as him.

However, Han Chen was not too excited about this, as his strength became stronger and stronger, he looked at things like wealth more and more lightly, and the amount of wealth was just a number for Han Chen, and as his strength gradually improved, these numbers would lose their effect.

Because at a certain level, wealth no longer plays a role. The hard currency at the time of trading will also change, such as magic cores, such as elixirs, such as martial arts scrolls, and so on

In such a leisurely and relaxing day, in the blink of an eye, seven days passed slowly.

Seven days was originally just to relax his tense nerves, but what Han Chen didn't expect was that after seven days, his state of mind cultivation had actually improved to the level of a seven-star swordsman, and it was also a mid-stage level.

This made Han Chen stunned for a long time, he didn't expect that he would be able to improve his cultivation realm with such leisure and fun, but no matter what, this was a thing to be happy about.

Han Chen had to cultivate after all, and now that seven days had passed, his tense mind had also relaxed, and his state of mind cultivation had even improved to the middle of the Seven Stars.

Next, it's time to elevate your cultivation to the next level. (To be continued......)
