"call……"
Finally, exhausted, Lin Chuan decided to stop.
Just as he had guessed, his proficiency was indeed increasing faster, and at this rate, it wouldn't be long before he mastered the first level of the Thunder Blade.
"We can't stop yet. This is the perfect time for meditation. I'll also try some guiding techniques. I wonder if they can speed up my cultivation."
Lin Chuan didn't go inside; instead, he sat down on the floor.
"Chichi-"
Once you enter a meditative state, the vital energy of heaven and earth is absorbed into your body, and your muscles, which were originally sore and weak, suddenly feel cool, as if they have been placed in an ice cave.
[You have gained some insights from your meditation session: your soul power has slightly increased, your physique has slightly improved, your proficiency in the Heavenly Water Meditation Technique has increased by 1, and your proficiency in the Guiding Technique 'Ninefold Chaotic Origin' has increased by 1.]
"Um?!"
Lin Chuan was immediately stunned.
The absorption of the primordial energy of heaven and earth has indeed increased significantly. Surprisingly, with the assistance of the Ninefold Primordial Chaos, a small portion of the primordial energy of heaven and earth has actually been integrated into the body to strengthen it.
What a surprise!
This is just the beginning. If the Nine-fold Thunder Blade is cultivated to its peak, the improvement will be even more obvious, and the soul power and the body will advance in tandem.
"This is really..."
Lin Chuan took a deep breath, his heart filled with amazement.
It's really great!
Originally, the only way to enhance one's body was through the most rudimentary method, but now with the Ninefold Chaos Source, the efficiency will undoubtedly be much higher.
Even if the body can only absorb a limited amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, it is still faster than just engaging in physical exercise.
Both the "Alchemy Manual" and the "Nine-fold Thunder Blade" greatly exceeded Lin Chuan's expectations and were of immense help to him!
Next, the direction of cultivation became clear.
Chapter 44 Volcanoes, Fire Lizards
Early the next morning.
Lin Chuan then knocked on the door of the wooden house next door.
"You said you were going to ask for leave to go out?"
Shui Lanxin, who had just gotten up, instantly woke up after hearing Lin Chuan's words.
"Yes, Dean Shui, I have some very important things to do."
"What's the rush?" Shui Lanxin frowned slightly, looking puzzled. "If it's not urgent, I can ask my family for help."
Lin Chuan shook his head, "No one else can help me with this; only I can accomplish it myself."
"Is that so?"
Shui Lanxin was filled with curiosity, but she still didn't press the issue.
"Taking leave is no problem, how long do you plan to be gone?"
"I'm not entirely sure about that, but Dean Shui, don't worry, I will definitely be back before the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."
"How about I go with you?"
Shui Lanxin then made another suggestion.
Lin Chuan shook his head slightly. "That's not necessary. With my current strength, as long as I keep a low profile, I can protect myself."
"Alright, then take care of yourself."
Having said that, Shui Lanxin had no choice but to agree.
"Then I'll be going now, Dean Shui. Please also tell Director Leng and Senior Bing'er."
Lin Chuan left these words behind, then turned and left alone.
Watching his departing figure, Shui Lanxin sighed softly, "I wonder what that little guy is going to do. I hope he'll be safe and sound!"
……
After buying a horse, Lin Chuan left through the south gate of Tianshui City and galloped south.
The most prominent feature of the Tiandou Empire's territory is its flat terrain, mostly plains. Various roads and trails crisscross the area, forming the Tiandou Empire's transportation network. Combined with the official roads, this allows for very fast travel.
"Let's go back to Caomiao Village and take a look!"
Since leaving the village, Lin Chuan had never returned. Now that he had the opportunity, it was time to go back.
Of course, most of them just happened to be passing by.
Before leaving Tianshui City, Lin Chuan did not forget to consult the blacksmith shop, only to find that the blacksmiths there were just ordinary people who could not make the medicine cauldron he wanted.
Having no other choice, Lin Chuan had to go to Gengxin City.
As a renowned metal capital and the city where the Blacksmiths' Association is located, most of the blacksmiths in the Douluo Continent gather here, and there may be blacksmiths there who can forge the required pieces.
In addition, the Star Luo Empire has countless mountains, including many volcanoes.
Lin Chuan also planned to try his luck and see if he could find the Earth Fire Vein to obtain the Earth Fire Seed for alchemy.
Thinking about it this way, time really is quite tight.
There was the sound of horse hooves.
After a long and arduous journey, without encountering any obstacles, Lin Chuan crossed plains and rivers and easily entered the province of Fasno.
Back in Caomiao Village, nothing had changed much since I left.
The village chief of Caomiao Village was overjoyed at Lin Chuan's return, especially after learning that Lin Chuan had not only become a Soul Master and successfully graduated, but had also joined an even more prestigious Soul Master Academy. He kept chanting "May our ancestors bless us!"
After staying in Caomiao Village for three days, Lin Chuan set off again.
Before leaving, he left one hundred gold soul coins at the village chief's house. It wasn't out of stinginess; for an ordinary family, one gold soul coin was enough to live on for several months, and one hundred gold soul coins was enough to last most of their lives.
Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.
Any more, and it might backfire.
Besides, it's not like they're not coming back, so there's no need to be so extreme.
Continuing south from Nottingham, beyond the border lies the Star Luo Empire, and bordering the Fasno Province is a kingdom called Pejira.
The Kingdom of Pejira is not large, at most a quarter the size of the Kingdom of Barak. In addition, it is located in a remote area, far from the center of the continent, and is not considered prosperous.
After purchasing a map of the Star Luo Empire in Pagera City, Lin Chuan successfully located his target location.
Located in the southwesternmost part of the Star Luo Empire, Longyan Province not only has deserts and plains, but also several mountain ranges. Both the Delac Mountains and the Earth Dragon Mountains have volcanoes, which makes the area rich in minerals, and they are also the main source of materials for Gengxin City.
Lin Chuan did not rush to Gengxin City, but continued south along the coastline.
half a month later.
The surrounding area was extremely desolate, and it was easy to get lost if you weren't careful. Lin Chuan, covered in dust, led his horse and strolled through the yellow sand.
After finally traversing the desolate wilderness, we entered the Drak Mountains. The temperature began to rise gradually, and our skin even started to feel sticky.
Lin Chuan did not feel uncomfortable; on the contrary, he was overjoyed.
"finally reached!"
His hard work and sleeping outdoors during this period was worthwhile.
The Drak Mountains contain a cluster of volcanoes. Even if one of the volcanoes does not have volcanic veins, you can still search for them in the other volcanoes.
Lin Chuan simply didn't believe his luck could be that bad.
The mountain path was not suitable for horses, so Lin Chuan released the horse he had bought as a way of thanking him for carrying it for so long. As for whether it would survive, that was up to its own fate.
Upon entering the mountains, Lin Chuan began searching for his past one by one.
No earth fire veins were found in the first two volcanoes, but Lin Chuan was not discouraged. Such magical natural power is formed naturally by the earth and is rare, not to mention that this is the Douluo Continent, which is known as the fantasy basement.
While searching for the enemy, Lin Chuan did not forget to cultivate, so he did not waste any time.
However, after visiting most of the volcanoes and still not finding any earth veins, Lin Chuan's optimistic attitude gradually began to subtly change.
Could it really be that unlucky?!
Or was it that we set our goals too early?
"There's only one volcano left. If there isn't one, we'll have to pin our hopes on the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Please don't let me make this trip for nothing!"
Entering through a cave halfway up the mountain, Lin Chuan entered the heart of the mountain.
The mountainside is quite secluded, with winding passages leading to unknown destinations, but one can clearly feel that the temperature inside is significantly higher than outside.
Lin Chuan moved swiftly, darting down the winding cave entrance to a point even lower down.
I don't know how long we walked.
"Ow—"
