After Si Yuanhai’s soul returned to his body, the decay of his physical body stopped. Although he was still weak, he was able to get out of bed.
“This old man here, thanks everyone!” Si Yuanhai wanted to bow to Chen Fei and the others, but he was quickly stopped by Chen Fei.
“Old Master Si, there’s no need to do this,” Chen Fei said with a smile.
“I’ve troubled everyone. This old man has nothing to repay you with. These few Heart Strange Stones are what this old man has accumulated over the past few years.”
As Si Yuanhai spoke, he took out a few gray stones from his bosom. At first glance, it was no different from the stones on the roadside outside.
“Although I’m not a martial artist, I know how important core soul energy is to martial artists. This stone is produced in the Strange Heart Realm. If you refine some every day, it can purify your core soul energy and is beneficial to your martial path.”
Si Yuanhai saw the confusion on their faces and explained with a smile.
Guo Linshan and the others’ expressions fluctuated slightly. If it were anything else, they would probably have rejected it directly. However, the allure of this item had reached its peak.
Currently, Guo Linshan and the other three were all in the Visceral Tempering stage, especially Ge Hongjie and Zhang Fangqiong, who were preparing to break through to the Aperture Tempering realm.
If they wanted to break through to the Aperture Tempering realm, be it measuring or digging, they needed mental strength. If he could purify his core soul energy, then his control over it would become even more refined, which would greatly benefit him in breaking through.
“This…”
Guo Linshan and the other two looked at each other. Although they wanted it, they were somewhat embarrassed. Although they had come to help, Yan Dequan had not come at all. They had only stood there for a while.
Under such circumstances, it would be a shame to accept such an expensive gift from Si Yuanhai.
Old Master, this thing is too expensive. I’ll exchange it with something else.” Ge Hongjie hesitated for a moment.
“I don’t have anything else on me to repay you for your help. The only thing 1 can express my gratitude for is this Strange Heart Stone.”
Si Yuanhai’s expression turned serious as he stuffed the Strange Heart Stone into the hands of Chen Fei and the others.
Chen Fei touched the Strange Heart Stone and felt the icy cold feeling within. He suspected the principle behind this Strange Heart Stone. It was probably to pollute the core soul energy and then resist the purification.
However, compared to the simple violence of the Strange Heart Realm, refining the Strange Heart Stone every day was much gentler for martial artists. It would not cause a martial artist’s mental strength to mutate.
Chen Fei originally wanted to give the Strange Heart Stone to Ge Hongjie and the other two, but the three of them only took one symbolically. The remaining five Strange Heart Stones all fell into Chen Fei’s hands.
“Senior Si, what do you plan to do next? I wonder when your junior brother will come looking for you again.” Chen Fei looked at Si Yuanhai and asked.
Yan Dequan’s strength was very strong, and it was different from a martial artist’s straightforward moves. It was somewhat unpredictable. Without absolute strength to suppress it, it would be very difficult to kill it.
“I was a little careless this time, but the original courtyard is indeed uninhabitable.”
Si Yuanhai sighed slightly and said, “However, that junior brother of mine shouldn’t come looking for me in the near future. He’s a cautious person. Without a foolproof plan, he won’t easily show his face.”
Chen Fei nodded. The two of them agreed on a secret code so that Chen Fei could find Si Yuanhai.
Chen Fei definitely had to go to the Strange Heart Realm. Moreover, there seemed to be quite a number of good things in this Strange Heart Realm, such as this Strange Heart Stone.
Four hours later, Chen Fei returned to his rented courtyard. He was already carrying a bag of rice and a basket of fresh eggs.
Si Yuanhai’s matter had delayed his cultivation for two days, but fortunately, the result was satisfactory. Chen Fei had also discovered the mysterious Srrange Heart Realm, which was a good place to purify his core soul energy.
In the kitchen in the courtyard, Chen Fei steamed a big pot of rice in preparation for making egg-fried rice later.
Chen Fei had cooked egg-fried rice in his previous life. However, the case when they had cooked too much in excess that they had to eat the same dishes again later.
A moment later, the fragrance of rice filled the entire kitchen. Chen Fei sat cross-legged at the side and looked at the Heart Stone in his hand. He tried to use his core soul energy to probe it.
According to Si Yuanhai, refining a few of the Strange Heart Stones every day would be able to achieve the effect of purifying one’s core soul energy. One could not be greedy, or else it would result in the contamination of one’s core soul energy.
At this moment, as Chen Fei’s core soul energy entered, a low murmur sounded in Chen Fei’s ears. However, when he listened carefully, he realized that there was no sound in his ears at all. The murmur was completely in his mind.
However, compared to the murmurs he heard in the Strange Heart World, the corruption caused by the Strange Heart Stone was indeed much smaller. With just a slight circulation of the Tranquil Origin Technique, the murmurs were driven out of his mind, unable to affect Chen Fei in any way.
A moment later, Chen Fei opened his eyes and sensed the change in his mind power. There was indeed a slight change, but it was not obvious.
Chen Fei lowered his head to look at the Strange Heart Stone. It had become a little smaller, about less than 10%. At this rate, it would probably disappear after a dozen uses.
Chen Fei raised his head and looked at the rice. It was not cooked yet, and there was still time. His core soul energy did not feel any discomfort. Clearly, the tempering earlier was too light for Chen Fei.
“Continue!
Chen Fei closed his eyes and once again sent his mental strength into the Strange Heart Stone. This time, his steps were a little bigger, and the extent of his probing was more than twice as deep as before.
It was that illogical murmur again, making people want to listen, but they could not hear anything. There was only endless madness contained in it.
The Tranquil Origin Technique began to circulate normally, blocking out these murmurs of pollution from his mind. Chen Fei felt the state of his mind. It was very stable. The corruption was cleared in an instant.
Chen Fei thought about it for a moment. His core soul energy continued to enter the Strange Heart Stone. The crazy murmurs started to grow louder and louder. In the end, it was as if his ears were filled with this sound.
If an ordinary person heard such a sound, they would probably go crazy. Killing innocent people was nothing.
The Tranquil Origin Technique circulated rapidly in Chen Fei’s mind. The corruption of the heart was infected in Chen Fei’s core soul energy, but it was immediately removed. This repeated struggle, but as the heart stone shattered, this corruption became a rootless source and slowly subsided.
After a full fifteen minutes, Chen Fei opened his eyes. His mind was a little tired, but the purity of his mind power had clearly increased a little.
Chen Fei lowered his head and looked at the powder in his hand. The current him could directly withstand the corruption of a Strange Heart Stone without any adverse effects.
But now, it was at most one stone. If it were more, Chen Fei would not be able to take it. After all, every time he fought, he would have to expend a large amount of mental strength. Chen Fei’s current mental strength was low in quantity and purity.
If it wasn’t for the Tranquil Origin Technique, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand even one and would have gone crazy.
“When I have enough contribution points, I’ll exchange for that Heart Locking Technique.”
Chen Fei thought of the mind cultivation technique in the Sutra Library. It was specifically used to purify the core soul energy. However, the high contribution points also stopped Chen Fei.
If he went to find Feng Xiupu, Feng Xiupu would definitely help Chen Fei exchange. However, not only did Chen Fei owe Feng Xiupu fifty thousand taels of silver, but he also owed Feng Xiupu the contribution points for the two cultivation techniques.
If he continued to ask Feng Xiupu for the Heart Locking Technique, this was too much. He couldn’t just ask his master for anything he lacked. Feng Xiupu did not only have Chen Fei as his only disciple. There were others.
After the rice was steamed, Chen Fei got up and dug out a spoonful of rice, preparing to make egg-fried rice.
Rumor had it that the good egg-fried rice should be made with cold rice, which had more soul. However, Chen Fei wasn’t going to cook egg-fried rice with a soul. He just wanted to increase his proficiency, so he wasn’t that particular about it.
He heated up the pot, poured oil, threw in the rice and eggs into it. In a short while, a trace of fragrance floated in the kitchen. Chen Fei stir-fried with both hands. After a while, a bowl of egg-fried rice was ready.
Chen Fei looked at the interface. Fasting Pill experience +1. A smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face. Next, it would depend on how much egg-fried rice he could get each time to be recognized by the system.
It was rumored that the highest realm of egg-fried rice was to wrap every grain of rice with an egg.
Chen Fei’s cooking skills were not at this level. He directly added a small ball of rice and a spoonful of egg liquid into the pot and stir-fried it twice. When it was cooked, he dished it.
After Chen Fei experimented a few times, he found what the least amount of eggs and rice was needed so he could increase his experience points. It took less than ten seconds to increase his experience points. Chen Fei was overjoyed.
It had been a long time since he had cooked, but it was unexpectedly exciting.
It made Chen Fei wonder if he had any potential to be a chef.
Steaming rice and frying rice, Chen Fei cooked from noon to night. Other than taking a short break, Chen Fei almost never stopped.
Besides the egg-fried rice that was gradually becoming more and more delicious, the experience points of the Fasting Pill were also increasing rapidly.
[Alchemy: Fasting Pill Proficiency (1075/3000)]
Chen Fei looked at the interface. According to the rhythm, it would probably take a few more days to reach the perfection level of the Fasting Pill. After all, Chen Fei could not just cook egg-fried rice every day and had other things to do.
After tidying up the kitchen, Chen Fei returned to the hot spring inn. He had not had the time to cultivate the Suppressing Dragon Elephant today. He still had to make up for the Origin Connection Technique and Spatial Travel.
Soon, Chen Fei sank into the hot spring. The nearby Vital Energy fluctuated slightly and surged into Chen Fei’s body. The Suppressing Dragon Elephant operated quickly, tearing the Vital Energy apart and fusing it into his flesh and blood.
Life seemed to have returned to its usual calm, and Chen Fei began to live a life in the moment. He cooked egg-fried rice in the courtyard and practiced the Origin Connection Technique and other cultivation techniques in the hot spring inn.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, Chen Fei was submerged in the water. All of a sudden, his muscles and bones began to vibrate, causing rippies on the surface of the water.
A moment later, Chen Fei’s head reached out of the water. He walked to the side of the hot spring step by step and turned to look at himself. Chen Fei couldn’t help but smile.
“Cultivation Technique: Suppressing Dragon Elephant Body Subduing Mastery (1/5000)”
After a few days of hard work, the Suppressing Dragon Elephant’s body had finally reached the Master Level..
