C378 Devouring beast cores would strengthen one's soul power

At this time, within the tavern, Chu Chen was sitting cross-legged in his room with his eyes slightly closed. In his hands, he was holding a piece of Animal Core.

He was channeling his Soul Art, devouring the beast spirit's power from the Animal Core, and strengthening his body's soul force.

There were a total of two ways to cultivate the Soul Art. One of them was to devour the soul force of others. This method was ruthless, sinister and malicious. Chu Chen had never tried this method before.

The other type was the remnant power of the beast soul within the Animal Core. The power of the beast soul within each type of Animal Core was different, it was related to how strong the Demonic Beast was. In addition, it was also related to their own race, as well as the length of time the Animal Core had been in there.

Demonic Beast with a low cultivation also had a relatively small amount of beast spirit energy, and the eight or nine stages of Devil Beast that Chu Chen had bought were just perfect for his current cultivation.

There was one thing in common between the two cultivation methods of the Soul Art.

Devour!

Devouring the soul force of others and refining the power of devouring beast souls was an extraordinary and tyrannical process.

Cultivating the Soul Arts, there were specific stages and stages. Unfortunately, with Chu Chen's current strength, he was unable to break through the seal on the beast skin and coveted its essence.

However, Chu Chen knew in his heart that it was the first realm.

White!

Only when one's soul force became white would one be able to reach the first realm.

This white color, when soul force was released, it was a prominent white. As for the soul force of an ordinary person, it was a hazy gray, as if it were a chaos color that hadn't yet been opened, nearly transparent.

The only thing Chu Chen had ever seen someone's soul force was white. It was from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, the soul force that the Elder Gu had released when he was appraising the Scarlet Water Goblin Python's skeleton. It had some white tint, but it was not rich, and was mixed with a little bit of grey.

From the looks of it, evolving his soul force to white wasn't an easy task.

There was only one day left. To refine all these Animal Core, it would also be a huge amount of work.

In the beginning, Chu Chen held a Animal Core in one hand. To refine it this way, it was more accurate. He would not miss even a trace of the beast spirit's power.

But like this, he didn't have enough time.

In the end, both of Chu Chen's hands rose into the air, one hand holding onto the other, his soul force, like a thread, broke through the surface matter of the Animal Core and seeped into the inner parts of the Animal Core, searching for the beast spirit's power, and then began to refine and devour.

Strands of strange energy strangely entered Chu Chen's mind in the middle of the air, and under this state of abundance, his soul force continuously grew stronger.

Under the quiet atmosphere, time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed. Chu Chen's room, was completely silent.

Guan Xinghai, Huan Xingran, and Lin Dong, the three of them arrived at Chu Chen's room when the time was right. However, no one came out.

"Today is the day of the competition, why hasn't he come out yet? It can't be that you've forgotten, right? " Lin Dong said in bewilderment.

"Yesterday, when I saw him go out, he said that he wanted to buy a Animal Core. I wonder what he was going to do with it." At the side, Huan Xingran frowned slightly as she could not tell what was going on with Chu Chen.

"Wait a moment, the competition is only about today. It doesn't specify what time it will be." Guan Xinghai said, as he stopped the two from knocking.

The place for the alchemy competition was chosen by Zhen Lu. It was a square in the Azure Dragon City that was managed by the Seven Stars Temple.

This land was not a favor from the Seven Stars Observation Pavilion, but was rented out by Zhen Lu at a high price.

At all costs, Zhen Lu's goal was to win against Chu Chen in the Azure Dragon City's plaza. If he were to be insulted, he could increase his own influence as well.

At this moment, early in the morning, Zhen Lu was rushing to this place, accompanied by a few important figures.

The Azure Dragon's City Lord was among them.

An elder-class figure also came out of the Seven Stars Observation Pavilion and silently stood at the corner of the Azure Dragon Square. Towards Zhen Lu and the others who had arrived, he could only slightly nod his head without saying a word.

"Zhen Lu, you said that you want to compete with a little fellow in pill refining, why is he not here yet?" A middle-aged man spoke calmly. With a single glance, one could tell that he was an expert.

"Blue Dragon City's Feng Family!"

The crowd of martial practitioners had long since gathered around the Azure Dragon City plaza, and upon seeing the person who spoke, they immediately recognized him.

This person was the master of the Feng Family, and he had a bit of a relationship with Zhen Lu.

It seemed that Zhen Lu invited him to do so to increase his deterrence.

"In my opinion, it should be because he's scared. Since he's only a little boy, how much guts could he possibly have?" Another man spoke, dressed in an ancient gray robe.

"The leader of the Han family! It's another big shot! " The eyes of the crowd focused as they exclaimed in surprise.

Zhen Lu had invited all the big shots he knew, it was obvious that he wanted to completely intimidate that warrior.

In this trip, his heart was filled with the intent to kill.

The eyes of the crowd slightly shifted. Beside the Feng Family's Patriarch and the Han Family's Patriarch, there was also the Patriarch of the Wang Family and the Azure Dragon City's Patriarch. All of them stamped their feet.

"I've already sent a fighter to monitor him. As long as he doesn't show up before noon, then he'll be breaking his promise. We'll just go straight to the inn and kill him."

Zhen Lu said with a cold snort.

His cultivation base was still a little lower when compared to the few other grand masters around him. However, he was an alchemist, hence, the others were all willing to interact with him. Being acquainted with an alchemist was also a piece of cake.

Zhen Lu's words caused all the surrounding warriors to tremble slightly.

Sure enough, this time, Zhen Lu had the intent to kill. The madman who dared to go against him was definitely done for.

Although Zhen Lu was a tyrannical and insolent person, in Blue Dragon City, he had a huge network of people and had many supporters.

Although Chu Chen had defeated Zhen Lu, he did not have any support from the masses.

At this moment, many sounds of ridicule sounded out. Everyone firmly believed that Qin Wentian did not dare to come.

A small portion of them were even asking Zhen Lu to rush straight to the tavern.

"Humph, you might have the ability to suggest a competition, but you don't dare to show your face. However, you won't be able to escape today."

Zhen Lu laughed coldly in his heart, designating Chu Chen as someone who he had to kill.

The humiliation of being blasted away by Chu Chen and the reverence of so many people that he had stood there had been reduced by quite a bit. It had allowed him to regain his confidence and, in his heart, view Chu Chen as worthless.

"It's almost noon, and I haven't come out yet. Will anything happen to me?" Huan Xingran worriedly asked, looking at Guan Xinghai, asking him if he wanted to barge in.

"Call him!" Guan Xing pondered for a moment before he spoke.

"Ah …"

Huan Xingran was about to knock on the door when the door opened by itself, startling her.

The door opened, and Chu Chen walked out with a normal expression.

"I'm sorry, I was too engrossed in my training and forgot about the time." Chu Chen grinned.

Refining a hundred Animal Core was more difficult than one would imagine. Luckily, he had finally refined all of them just now.0

The soul force in his mind had received a certain level of improvement, which was why he was able to rapidly replenish the exhausted soul force and spirit energy that he had used up.

He even forgot the time when he was training? The three of them were startled, and looked at Chu Chen weirdly. Why did it feel like he did not put the competition in his eyes at all?

"You … "He refined the Cloud Accumulating Pill?" Huan Xingran whispered.

"En!" Chu Chen nodded, and did not hide anything.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the three of them all froze. In just a day and a half, he really refined the Cloud Accumulating Pill? How could this be possible?

Huan Xingran opened her mouth, but did not know what to say. She felt that Chu Chen was joking.

If he was a novice and wanted to concoct a Tier 3 spiritual pill, he might not be able to do so even if it took him a year and a half, let alone a day and a half.

But he nodded his head to confirm. This was simply too shocking, and looking at Chu Chen's expression, it didn't seem like he was joking.

"Could he be an alchemist master?"

With Chu Chen's age, how could he possibly be an expert in pill refining?

Moreover, he himself had said that he did not know how to concoct the Cloud Accumulating Pill.

A novice had refined the Cloud Accumulation Pill in a day and a half.

It was not only Huan Xingran, Guan Xinghai and Lin Dong were also extremely surprised. They looked at each other in disbelief, but he had said it himself, and it did not seem like he was joking.

"Let's go first, I think Zhen Lu has already gone mad from the anxiety." Hearing that, the three of them nodded. Whether or not it was true, they would naturally know when the time comes.
