Not long after Chen Shuangbai returned home, he felt something was wrong with his body. He briefly explained the situation to Old Master Chen and then rode his Flowing Cloud Flying Pouch to a medicine shop owned by the Chen Household in the mountains outside the city.
The Chen Household deals in some common medicinal herbs and has a certain reputation throughout Orchid Cloud Commandery.
This medicine shop is located in a remote mountain forest on the outskirts of the city. It is managed by a branch of the Chen Household family. Although life there is not as convenient as in the county town, the Chen Household in the county town sends a large amount of supplies every month. In addition, the children of the Chen Household here are sent to the family school in the county town. Therefore, the branch of the family who manages the medicine shop is loyal and reliable.
Because of its sparse population, this place still possesses a certain Spiritual Qi.
Upon entering the medicine manor, Chen Shuangbai revealed his identity and flew directly into the depths of the manor, where he secluded himself for three days.
Three days later.
Chen Shuangbai reopened his eyes, gathered the First Month Divine Manifestation behind him, stood up, and felt the torrent of Law Power flowing within his body. The feeling of it being even stronger than before made him smile involuntarily.
"Unexpectedly, the battle with that Rogue Person Withered Wood allowed me to break through my bottleneck and reach the Qi Refining Fifth Layer!"
Chen Shuangbai felt that it was probably also related to her condensing that First Month Divine Manifestation.
"This First Month Divine Manifestation truly mysterious, existing between reality and illusion. It doesn't seem like an avatar, but rather like Divine Ability that spontaneously formed from my practice of the ' Moon-Worshipping Clear Illumination Method '?"
"No, it's not a Divine Ability Divine Ability. If it were, it would be extremely mysterious and profound. But my First Month Divine Manifestation, apart from aiding my cultivation, has no other mysteries..."
"But... perhaps this is the mystery of the First Month Divine Manifestation?!"
Since condensing the First Month Divine Manifestation, Chen Shuangbai felt that her cultivation speed had increased significantly compared to before.
Just as I had sensed before, it felt as if two versions of myself were simultaneously absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth to cultivate. But it didn't quite feel like that, because First Month Divine Manifestation seemed to be cultivating by gathering moonlight, extracting a kind of spiritual energy from the moonlight that I didn't know, in order to help my own cultivation.
Aside from the fact that the First Month Divine Manifestation could help him with his cultivation, during his three days of seclusion, Chen Shuangbai also took the opportunity to study why he was suddenly able to sense some of the thoughts in the minds of the Rogue Person Withered Wood and the Meng Household family.
After some research, he finally discovered that this peculiar ability seemed to come from the " Moonlight Spirit-Nourishing Instruction Secret Method," which evolved from the " Heavenly Frost Heart-Cleansing Record " of the unknown cultivation sect, Heavenly Frost Palace, through the Dao Fruit.
Chen Shuangbai used her Wind Control Technique to reach the highest hill in the medicine manor, looking down at the busy herb farmers below.
"Speaking of which, I have been practicing the ' Moonlight Spirit-Nourishing Instruction ' for over three years now. Is it because I have gained something from it that I have come to this ability?"
Having considered this,
Chen Shuangbai began to circulate the " Moonlight Spirit-Nourishing Instruction," and many profound mysteries appeared in his mind, like scattered moonlight, faintly resonating with the " Dao Fruit " in Chen Shuangbai's sea of consciousness.
Buzz~
Suddenly, a thought stirred within Chen Shuangbai, and she suddenly understood something.
Chen Shuangbai recalled the original text of the " Heavenly Frost Heart-Cleansing Record " that Han Ji had taught him. He knew that this " Heavenly Frost Heart-Cleansing Record," as a Secret Method, had three levels: "Cleansing the Heart," "Mirror of Clarity," and "Heavenly Frost."
The " Moonlight Spirit-Nourishing Instruction "... oh no, it should be renamed " Moonlight Heart-Cleansing Instruction." It inherits the general framework of the original three realms, but the artistic conception and expression seem to have undergone a wonderful change due to the evolution of the " Dao Fruit," which tends to be influenced by the Grand Yin energy.
Chen Shuangbai closed his eyes and concentrated, carefully comprehending the profound mysteries of the " Moonlight Heart-Cleansing Instruction " flowing within his sea of consciousness.
"I should have cultivated to the first level of the Heart-Cleansing Realm, which can cleanse the mind of distractions and clarify the spirit, while also allowing me to faintly perceive the general thoughts of some people."
Having clarified the cultivation path of the " Moonlight Heart-Cleansing Instruction," Chen Shuangbai had a clearer understanding of her own path of soul cultivation.
To verify whether he could only sense the thoughts of those who harbored ill will towards him, Chen Shuangbai left the medicine shop and went to another manor of the Chen Household, where he found his third uncle, who had been crippled and could only stay in the house being fed.
Despite having her limbs broken and being given a drug to make her mute, just being near Chen Bingwen allowed Chen Shuangbai to "perceive" the malicious and foul language swirling in the latter's mind as if she were right there with him.
Chen Shuangbai ignored him and went straight out of the room. He found the steward of the manor, who, after learning Chen Shuangbai's identity, respectfully invited him in to entertain him.
Chen Shuangbai waved her hand and chatted with him for a while, but found that she couldn't sense his general thoughts.
"This confirms that in this Heart-Cleansing Realm, I can only perceive the general thoughts of those who harbor strong malice towards me."
" The Cultivation Method that evolves from the Dao Fruit is indeed miraculous."
In future magical duels, if someone harbors strong malice towards you, you will be able to sense their thoughts in advance, thus better avoiding their moves. It's practically a powerful weapon in magical duels!
"To sense malice and anticipate the enemy's moves... this ability is indeed a great asset in combat."
Having verified the limitations and characteristics of the " Heart-Cleansing Realm " ability, Chen Shuangbai did not linger at the manor. After giving a few simple instructions to the steward, he rode the Flowing Cloud Flying Pouch back to White Water County under the watchful eyes of the Chen Lineage members at the manor.
His return naturally caused a small sensation.
Seeing his eldest grandson striding confidently and full of vigor, Old Master Chen knew that something good was about to happen, even though he had never cultivated immortality. So he ordered someone to prepare a feast and invited the second branch of the family to have a meal together.
Old Master Chen seemed to know that his eldest grandson was no ordinary person and could not linger in the mortal world any longer, so he couldn't bear to take his eyes off Chen Shuangbai during the meal.
Although Chen Shuangbai was reluctant to leave, he had a spiritual path to follow and would pursue a higher realm in the future, so he could not stay any longer.
After the meal, Chen Shuangbai handed some things she had prepared to her grandfather.
Several bottles of Nourishing Essence Pills and Heart-Protecting Pills, suitable for ordinary people to strengthen their constitution, nourish their vital energy, and prolong their lives, along with some Jade Spring Five Pills and basic talismans, were not intended for the Chen Household to sell, but rather for Chen Household own use in case of unforeseen circumstances.
In addition, Chen Shuangbai also had a deep talk with his second uncle.
"Second Uncle, I am now a cultivator, and my lifelong pursuit is only the Great Dao. Leaving behind any bloodline is a luxury I can only hope for. Therefore, the only way I can fulfill my filial duty to my grandfather is for you to come, Second Uncle."
Chen Moyan was still somewhat afraid of his nephew, who had become a cultivator, especially after his decisive and ruthless manner not long ago, which had truly frightened him.
Seeing his second uncle's submissive demeanor, Chen Shuangbai didn't say much, only remarking, "Second Uncle's branch of the family must prosper, and he should have many children."
"I am weak and isolated in the cultivation world. If any younger generation possesses Spirit Root, I will certainly guide them onto the path of immortality so that we can support each other and go further together."
"Second Uncle, you may not know this, but there are many cultivation Lineage in the cultivation world, and my Chen Household... could very well become one of them!"
Chen Moyan suddenly looked up, his eyes shining.
"I see."
