Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 189: Chapter 186: Ninth Level

Dawan Village.

In a Secluded Meditation Chamber.

The air surged, and a tyrannical aura swept out, stirring up a visible ripple of energy.

Shen Changchuan, sitting cross-legged on the White Jade Meditation Mat, felt his aura suddenly skyrocket.

He had reached the Ninth Layer Realm!

He broke through!

At this moment, Shen Changchuan was somewhat stunned himself.

After the Refinement of the last Purple Gold Pill, his Cultivation had already reached the Eighth Layer Peak Realm.

He had decided to try and break through the bottleneck to the Ninth Layer on a whim.

Unexpectedly, it had happened without any resistance, as if it were simply a matter of course.

The bottleneck that had stood in his way shattered,

and his Cultivation Realm ascended to the Ninth Layer Realm in a single leap!

’I just broke through?!’

For a moment,

Shen Changchuan felt a little lost.

He had still been planning how to get some Spirit Stones to buy a breakthrough-assisting Elixir from the Ten Thousand Spirits Pavilion in Qing City.

After all, for the past year, every breakthrough before the Eighth Layer had relied on the power of Elixirs.

This time, just a slight push on his own,

and the Realm’s bottleneck shattered.

It all felt rather unreal.

But soon,

Shen Changchuan reined in his wandering Heart Spirit.

’This breakthrough was unexpected,’

’but no matter what,’

’I need to stabilize my Realm first.’

’If I’m not careful and my Realm regresses, that would be a huge problem.’

Shen Changchuan immediately focused all his concentration, guiding the Magical Power in his body through a full Circulation to suppress and smooth out its turbulent state...

「Time flew by.」

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

After three days of effort,

Shen Changchuan’s aura stabilized.

His Realm at the Qi Introduction Ninth Layer

was now secure.

He no longer had to worry about a fluctuating Heart Spirit causing his turbulent Magical Power to spiral out of control and his Realm to regress.

Only now

did he have the time to carefully examine every corner of his body

and review the entire breakthrough process.

’It seems the reason I broke through so easily was largely due to the Earth Vein Spiritual Milk...’

Through continuous training with the Soul-Attracting Bell and his Divine Soul Secret Skill, Shen Changchuan’s Divine Soul was now far stronger than that of other Cultivators at the same level.

Because of this,

he could clearly perceive the changes in every inch of his meridians.

He also discovered the reason he had been able to break through the bottleneck so easily this time.

The reason was that his Cultivation Talent had been drastically improved!

With his improved Cultivation Talent,

bottlenecks in the Qi Introduction Realm were as easy for him to overcome as eating or drinking, posing almost no difficulty at all.

’First, I got the Cyan Essence Water Grass sapling to improve my talent, then the Cyan Essence Purifying Spirit Pill to further enhance it. And just last month, I was cleansed by the Earth Vein Spiritual Milk, improving my talent yet again...’

’After so many fortuitous encounters, my talent now, while maybe not one in ten thousand, is definitely far superior to that of an ordinary Cultivator!’

’Especially the time with the Earth Vein Spiritual Milk. It not only washed away the accumulated Medicinal Power, Elixir Poison, hidden injuries, and unstable Magical Power in my body, leaving it refreshed and full of Spirit Charm... it was also like the final straw that broke the camel’s back, pushing my Cultivation Talent to take a crucial step forward, undergoing a true transformation!’

’It’s precisely because of this excellent, continuously improving talent that the bottleneck to the Qi Introduction Ninth Layer was no problem for me at all. I no longer need to rely on the power of Elixirs to break through like before... Now, as long as my Magical Power is sufficient, my Cultivation Realm will advance naturally, as a matter of course...’

Understanding this point,

Shen Changchuan couldn’t help but let the corners of his mouth curve into a smile.

His mood brightened considerably.

He didn’t know if this transformed talent would still be effective after the Soul Emergence Realm.

But as long as it was effective below the Ninth Layer Peak, and perhaps even provided some help in advancing to Soul Emergence,

he would be more than satisfied.

’In that case, reaching the Ninth Layer Peak within a year might not be that difficult for me...’

For a moment,

Shen Changchuan was in high spirits.

...

”This is Dawan Village? Are you sure this place is called Dawan Village?”

In the village,

within the commercial district,

several Shen Clan members from Tian Nan City stared at the transformed town, now bustling with countless Cultivators coming and going. Their faces were filled with bewilderment.

According to the clan information they had gathered before coming,

Dawan Village was supposed to be nothing more than a tiny, remote mountain village with a dozen acres of Spirit Fields!

This area was supposed to be a Barbaric Land, without even a single Immortal Cultivation Marketplace nearby.

So what was this situation before them?

”This is Dawan Village. It’s always been called Dawan Village,”

said the innocent passerby they had stopped, a look of confusion on his face.

”That’s impossible!”

”How could a countryside village be like this... Are you trying to fool me?”

A place this prosperous was on par with some Major Immortal Cultivation Towns.

Putting everything else aside,

just seeing so many Cultivators coming and going was enough to know that whoever was in charge of the Garrison here was definitely earning a fortune!

The Tian Nan Shen Clan might be large,

but if they had a Major Immortal Cultivation Town like this, how could they possibly not know about it?

A Ren Que post in a place like this would be an extremely lucrative assignment for them... It’s impossible that they would overlook it!

”Immortal Masters, how would I dare... Oh, you must be new here, right?”

”Actually, Dawan Village has only changed like this in the last six months or so... If you’ve only just arrived, it’s normal that you wouldn’t know...”

The men looked at each other.

”Please, tell us the details.”

”Let me tell you...”

Before long,

from the passerby’s story,

the men finally understood the cause and effect, learning the reason behind Dawan Village’s transformation.

”This is... just too lucky!”

After learning the specifics,

the men stood there in stunned silence,

at a loss for words.

A disaster befell the local powerhouse, the Wu Family, causing a massive influx of Cultivators. The Wu Family Collection closed down, and Dawan Village seized the opportunity to rise...

This chain of events

felt almost unbelievable!

Especially since some among them had once been in charge of family businesses,

they understood even better that this kind of change was no different from a pie falling from the sky!

’We were originally planning to just go straight to the door... but now, it seems we should investigate first...’

’That’s right. With so many Cultivators coming and going to trade... I’m afraid the rental income alone could be over ten thousand Spirit Stones...’

’An income of over ten thousand Spirit Stones...’

’Be careful. Don’t alert the target unnecessarily...’

’Speaking of which, since Dawan Village has now become the local trading hub, it would be quite reasonable for Shen Chong to show up here...’

’No rush. First, let’s find a local and ask around... The Sanhe Chamber of Commerce... I’ve had some dealings with them before. Come on, let’s go check things out...’

The men used Magical Power to transmit their voices,

conferring in secret.

Then, they quietly made their way toward a shop flying the banner of the Sanhe Chamber of Commerce.
