Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Since the establishment of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, there hasn’t been a powerful figure of the Mountain Sea Realm, and even the path to reaching this realm is quite unclear to the sect, let alone the other sects in the Immortal Cloud City.

The descriptions of the Endless Sea in the records are limited, and the martial realm of the Mountain Sea Realm is mentioned in just a few words.

“Moving mountains and overturning seas!”

Chen Fei’s eyes flickered slightly. Any cultivator, upon hearing of such a martial realm, would naturally aspire to it, and Chen Fei was no exception.

However, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and the path of cultivation also proceeds step by step. Compared to others of his age within the Immortal Cloud City, Chen Fei had already achieved a level of accomplishment that far surpassed them.

In the foreseeable future, Chen Fei would continue to surpass them, and even those from the older generation.

Walking along the streets of the Immortal Cloud City, Chen Fei turned a street corner and couldn’t help but pause as he gazed at a newly constructed high-rise building ahead.

In Chen Fei’s memory, this place used to be a bustling restaurant, strategically located at the transportation hub of Immortal Cloud City. It was always crowded, and they used to say it made a fortune every day.

Such prime real estate in Immortal Cloud City would naturally have its own backing to secure such a location. Unexpectedly, after just a short period of time, it seemed that this place had changed ownership.

The Ocean Pavilion!

As Chen Fei looked at the shop’s signboard, his brows furrowed slightly. He recalled some of the rumors he had heard, and the new establishment before him should be owned by the Yu family.

No wonder they were able to secure this location. For the Yu family, as long as the intention to open a shop is known, they probably didn’t have to do much. Various favorable options would naturally be presented to the Yu family.

This is the power of having a Mountain Sea Realm expert in their ranks—the privileges they possess. To gain the favor of the Yu family, let alone this piece of land, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect could offer even more.

Of course, this is also related to the current situation in the vicinity of Immortal Cloud City.

If it weren’t for the sudden arrival of the Divine Flame Sect, the arrival of the Yu family might have received not the goodwill of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, but rather hostility, perhaps even war.

“One mountain can’t accommodate two tigers.” The territories around Immortal Cloud City belong to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect and there’s no room for others to meddle. However, with the arrival of the Divine Flame Sect and now the addition of the Yu family, the situation has become much more complex and sensitive.

“Dear customer, what can we do for you?”

As soon as Chen Fei entered the shop, the shopkeeper personally greeted him. Chen Fei’s aura clearly indicated he was an Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, and for such cultivators, the shopkeeper naturally wanted to provide personal service.

When running a business, they would certainly not put on airs, even if it was a shop established by the Yu family.

“I have a piece of tree heart from a demon plant, and 1 want to awaken its sentience. Is there a way?” Chen Fei presented Baka’s tree heart.

In the more than a month since his return, Chen Fei had also tried various methods to awaken Baka. He initially used his mental power to call out to it continuously, similar to what he did in the Despair City. While the tree heart responded to some extent, it was only a slight response.

This response was similar to the sentience of a spiritual artifact, but compared to Baka’s previous intelligence, which was no less than that of a human, the gap was insurmountable.

Afterwards, Chen Fei tried using other water sources with spiritual properties to water the tree heart, nourishing the sentience within it. However, apart from causing the tree heart to grow some roots, there were no further significant changes.

In fact, the appearance of roots seemed to reduce the activity of sentience within the tree heart, as if it were truly turning into a sapling.

Chen Fei even made a special visit to the sect’s Sutra Library and read through many scrolls, but there were not many records about this kind of situation.

Demon plants, as rare creatures relative to demon beasts, were indeed scarce. The Primordial Sword Sect, being a sword cultivation sect, had little research in this area and did not actively collect scriptures on this subject.

Chen Fei even sent a message to Chi Def eng, asking him to go to the Alchemist Alliance with Chen Fei’s waist token to inquire about it, but in the end, he did not get a satisfactory result.

In his heart, Chen Fei still hoped that the little tree spirit he had encountered in the mystic realm could recover, rather than becoming an ordinary spirit plant.

The shopkeeper examined the tree heart with some surprise, carefully inspected it, then looked up at Chen Fei and said, “Esteemed customer, it appears that this demon plant faced an insurmountable crisis before, and it chose to self-seal in the hope of preserving a glimmer of life.”

“Shopkeeper, do you know of a way to rescue it?”

Chen Fei’s expression shifted slightly. The shopkeeper had described the situation Baka faced in the mystic realm quite clearly. In the Despair City’s environment, so many Mountain Sea Realm cultivators went in, but only a few came out.

Aside from Chen Fei, everyone else suffered serious injuries. At that time, even though Baka was already a second-order demon plant, going inside didn’t yield any good results.

Just like the rat demon Chen Fei had in his sleeve right now, on the first day it entered, it was already on the brink of death. If it hadn’t coincidentally encountered Chen Fei, it probably wouldn’t even have had a chance to meet him.

“The time this demon plant has spent in self-sealing is too long, and its sentience has almost been extinguished, leaving only a trace of its essence inside. 1 have a spirit liquid here, and with prolonged watering, there is a chance of awakening it. Please wait a moment, honored guest.”

The shopkeeper spoke, clapping his hands, and soon, one of his assistants ran up to him. The shopkeeper whispered a few words to the assistant, who promptly went upstairs.

In just a short while, the assistant returned, holding a porcelain bottle and a prescription, which he handed to the shopkeeper.

“This is the Summoning Elixir, and this store only has this small supply left. Honored customer, would you like to give it a try?” The shopkeeper looked at Chen Fei and smiled..
