Chapter 92 I became neighbors with the young lady
Gong Yuechan didn't elaborate, and Chen Ye didn't ask any further questions. It's estimated that even within the Gong family, only a few core members were qualified to know about this matter.
But this also served as a warning to Chen Ye.
If anything were to happen to that Golden Core Ancestor of the Qiling Sect, a bloodbath would surely erupt within his sphere of influence. Unless he could escape to a place tens of thousands of miles away, he would have no chance of escaping unscathed.
Venturing into an unfamiliar sea is no easy task. The sea is fraught with dangers: raids on cultivators, harsh sea conditions, and high-level demonic beasts. Any one of these could be fatal. It would be far more prudent to improve one's own strength.
Clearing their minds of unrealistic thoughts, Chen Ye and Gong Yuechan arrived at the Gong family's territory together.
Chen Ye did not return to the villa he had previously visited. Every time he went to sea, he would take his valuables with him. The villa only contained some daily necessities, which were not worth much money. He would buy more when the time came.
The cave dwelling that the Gong family had given him was indeed, as Gong Yuechan had said, a place of exceptional natural beauty, located in the middle of the mountainside of Yuntong Mountain. Although it wasn't directly above the second-tier spiritual vein, it was still enveloped by the Gong family's spirit-gathering array.
The spiritual energy in the air is about twice that of the previous villa!
Pushing open the cave door, Chen Ye took a deep breath and immediately felt the rich spiritual energy filling his meridians.
"No wonder the Gong family has been able to produce so many members with spiritual roots in just a hundred years since they occupied Golden Wutong Island. Living in such a blessed place, even ordinary people could probably live for more than ten years longer."
Chen Ye couldn't help but sigh. Under normal circumstances, the probability of a mortal possessing a spiritual root is less than one in a thousand, but those cultivation families are able to continuously produce offspring with spiritual roots. One of the most important reasons for this is the spiritual vein!
As long as one lives in a place with abundant spiritual energy, even if one's own meridians are solidified and cannot be changed, the child born is very likely to have spiritual roots. This is the principle of how the environment nurtures people.
"Hmm? Isn't Miss going back to Huanxi Pavilion?"
Chen Ye noticed that after Gong Yuechan brought him to this cave, she did not return to the core territory of the Gong family, but walked directly to the side, which puzzled him.
Gong Yuechan replied with a smile.
"Huanxi Pavilion is just where I usually stay. Although the spiritual energy is more abundant in the core clan territory, there are also many clansmen living there. I still prefer a quieter place."
As she spoke, she went to the next room of Chen Ye's, took out a token from the storage bag at her waist, and with a wave of her hand, the protective array covering the cave next door slowly opened.
"This cave is where I live and cultivate for a long time. If you get bored in seclusion, you can come and discuss cultivation with me at any time."
Gong Yuechan smiled slightly at Chen Ye, then gracefully stepped into the cave.
"How did you end up being neighbors with the eldest daughter of the Gong family?"
Chen Ye's heart skipped a beat, but he wondered whether this was a deliberate arrangement by the Gong family or a coincidence...
After settling into his new cave dwelling, Chen Ye rested for a few days to relax. After all, he had been adrift at sea for months, constantly fighting and plundering; he needed some time to adjust.
Once he was in peak condition, Chen Ye immediately began his secluded cultivation.
With the spiritual energy derived from the second-tier spiritual vein, plus four bottles of top-grade pills every month, Chen Ye is confident that he can raise his cultivation level to another level within the next year!
…………
Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
The Gong family, Golden Willow Island.
Quiet room.
Chen Ye sat cross-legged and slowly stopped circulating his energy.
He opened his eyes, feeling the surging spiritual energy flowing through his meridians, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Breaking through to the eighth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm in just one year is pretty much what I expected."
Chen Ye exhaled a breath of stale air. Over the past year, he could say that he had devoted all his energy to cultivation, which was quite rare for him.
Thanks to abundant resources, coupled with the Tide Spirit Guiding Technique which had reached its peak, his cultivation broke through without any bottlenecks.
Not only that, but he has also improved his Vajra Body Forging Technique to the third level through persistent practice. Now his physical strength has reached a level comparable to a high-grade magic weapon.
As for this Spirit-Rank Body Tempering Technique, Chen Ye only obtained the first three levels. No matter how much he consumed his lifespan to deduce it, he could not improve any further without obtaining the subsequent techniques.
Of course, his current state is sufficient, considering that he has only been practicing this body-tempering technique for a year and a half.
Immediately, Chen Ye's mind sank, and he looked into his sea of consciousness.
[Subject: Chen Ye]
[Remaining life span: 261]
[Realm: Spirit Gathering Level 8 (1/800)]
[Cultivation Techniques: Tidal Spirit Guiding Technique: Mastery 531/1600, Vajra Body Forging Technique: Proficiency 210/1600]
【法术：禁妖诀小成：135/1800，镇魂术大成：281/1600，炎煞诀小成：65/800，灵灭指大成：164/800，金光术精通：179/100，幻雾术大成：46/400】
【技能：敛息熟练：25/100，御水熟练：18/100，辨灵熟练：33/100】
Chen Ye has not gone out to sea or hunted any monsters since the beginning of the year, so his remaining lifespan has not changed much.
Even so, a lifespan of over two hundred years is comparable to that of an ordinary cultivator with hidden treasures. If Chen Ye does not intend to deduce the cultivation method, he does not feel any urgency.
Then, Chen Ye opened the spirit insect pouch at his waist, and with a thought, a bee nearly the size of a palm flew out of the pouch.
Because the Devouring Bee had played a significant supporting role in previous battles, Chen Ye did not forget to raise this spirit insect even though he was in seclusion for cultivation this year.
Under careful care, the Queen Bee not only grew much larger, but Chen Ye also discovered that two fleshy growths the size of fingernails had appeared on her back.
"Could it be that they're about to advance?"
Chen Ye pondered to himself that the level of the Devouring Pattern Bee was easy to identify: two wings meant early stage of Tier 1, four wings meant mid stage of Tier 1, six wings meant late stage, and as for eight wings, that was a Tier 1 peak spirit insect.
Although Chen Ye hadn't had time to go out and hunt monsters for the past year, he did post a long-term mission to buy monster corpses through the Gong family's mission hall.
It didn't cost much, and it provided a stable food supply for the bees. In addition, with the daily feeding of various spirit stones and pills, it's no wonder that the queen bee has grown to this extent, and the number of bees has multiplied to nearly three hundred!
"Buzzing~~"
The Queen Bee flapped its wings and circled Chen Ye a few times, as if to say that it was about to advance in rank.
"I'll take you out for something nice in a few days."
Chen Ye sent a thought, then flicked his finger, sending the queen bee back into the spirit insect pouch. He then got up and went outside the cave, took out the Crimson Dragon Sword from his storage bag, and began to test the growth of his divine soul power.
