Chapter 150 - 149: Finally Reaching Grade 2!

Inside the tent.

Ye Jincen was immersed in cultivation as usual.

"Why haven’t you come today?"

At this moment, she felt a bit inexplicably irritated. Chen Xuan usually arrived very punctually, but today... he hasn’t come.

"Sigh!"

She sighed softly and slowly opened her eyes, showing a side that only appeared when she was alone.

Next moment, she was stunned!

Because Chen Xuan was sitting not far away, staring straight at her.

"Impossible!"

Ye Jincen was shocked inside. How could he appear there without any sense of detection?

It’s worth noting that even while cultivating, she habitually released a strand of Spiritual Power.

It’s a habit she developed after arriving at the camp, mainly to know immediately when he arrives.

But she truly felt no sense of detection.

She then closed her eyes again.

Couldn’t sense anything; the whole tent besides herself, had no other’s presence at all.

However—

Chen Xuan was obviously sitting right there.

And at this moment, seeing her expression, Chen Xuan understood. At such a close distance, a Third Grade Spirit Cultivator like Ye Jincen couldn’t detect him.

It seems this talent is truly awesome now!

Just one step away, not even a Third Grade Spirit Cultivator could notice, so he was confident that even a First Grade Spirit Cultivator would be oblivious.

"How... did you do it?"

Ye Jincen’s voice trembled slightly; it was too terrifying!

Spirit Cultivators being close was already dangerous, but their perception was very sensitive, compensating for the weakness.

But once this perception was useless, a Martial Cultivator could easily kill a high-level Spirit Cultivator.

"Don’t worry, it’s unique to me." Chen Xuan comforted her, seeing her lose composure for the first time.

Pooh—

Hearing him say this, Ye Jincen felt slightly at ease, and then asked again, "How did you do it?"

"Uh... perhaps it’s just talent!"

At this moment, Chen Xuan’s eyes turned deep, with an air of ’I’m a genius, it’s just that simple.’

Ye Jincen was so angry, she wished she could bite him.

Suppressing the fury in her heart, her face became serious, "No matter what means you used, don’t share it with others, it’s too terrifying."

"Rest assured, I’m not stupid!"

At this moment, Chen Xuan stopped pretending, and said solemnly.

What’s more, even if he wanted to pass it on to others, there’s no way.

"Also, don’t tell anyone!"

Chen Xuan felt warmed inside, this woman still thought of him immediately.

"You’re the only one who knows."

"Okay!"

She responded softly with an ’Okay,’ then closed her eyes to cultivate again, though the corners of her mouth subtly curled up.

"Hehe!"

Chen Xuan chuckled inside; it seems this woman can’t escape his charm either.

This isn’t narcissism, it’s confidence, he was very sure Ye Jincen is interested in him.

But... well...

After glancing at her, he left the tent.

Now Ji Keren is also his woman, and she brought him such an impressive artifact, he should go see her.

After Chen Xuan left,

Ye Jincen opened her eyes again, with an expression of slight loneliness.

Actually, her perception wasn’t just very sensitive; her sense of smell was also beyond ordinary. Just now, Chen Xuan not only had the scent of a woman from home, but also Ji Keren’s.

"Has she become one too!"

Murmuring to herself, her eyes showed envy!

....

He arrived at Ji Keren’s tent.

Before Chen Xuan spoke, she said with a sarcastic tone, "Oh, isn’t this Brother Xuan who ate and ran yesterday?"

He walked over slowly, pinched her face, and smiled, "Do you know what you look like now?"

Ji Keren rolled her eyes but said nothing.

"A resentful woman!"

Chen Xuan spoke directly, then released her face, but in the next moment, he scooped her up in his arms directly.

Ji Keren was suddenly panicked, thinking he was going to do that in broad daylight, and tried to break free quickly.

But how could her strength compare to Chen Xuan’s?

She could only plead, "Please don’t, don’t do this, Brother, it’s daytime!"

But Chen Xuan ignored her, instead, he sat down.

He placed her crosswise on his lap, faced away from him!

Ji Keren turned her head with starry eyes full of panic, "What are you doing, Brother! Can’t Sister apologize?"

She had a very bad feeling.

"Slap!"

Chen Xuan smacked her round bottom hard.

"My woman mustn’t do that! Hear me?"

"Hmph!"

Ji Keren snorted discontentedly, then stopped looking at him, refusing to submit.

"Oh, still got some spirit!"

Chen Xuan teased, "Slap!"

Another slap!

"My woman must be generous, did you hear?"

Ji Keren continued to ignore him, still very stubborn, not responding.

"Heh..."

Chen Xuan was amused furiously, with so much spirit isn’t she; he then reached to her sleeve intending to go inside.

Ji Keren became anxious immediately.

"I understand, understand, I’ll follow your lead!"

It’s broad daylight, after all, she was worried Chen Xuan might do something bad.

"Okay, since you’re sincere in admitting your mistake, Brother will let you go." Then he helped her sit properly and held her close in his arms.

At this moment, Ji Keren felt wronged; she hadn’t done much, just complained once.

"Alright, alright, I was just teasing you, now you’re all aggrieved."

Chen Xuan comforted, then said seriously, "You’re not an ordinary person, and me? Even less so!"

"So, from now on, there will probably be more and more women around me, right?"

This time Ji Keren responded to him, nodding slightly.

"But no matter how many women I have, I will treat everyone equally. Of course, the premise is that everyone must be obedient, and you should get along harmoniously!"

"After all, a harmonious family prospers!"

"Right?"

Chen Xuan, of course, knew she was unhappy, but he was not accommodating this habit; anyone who wants to be his woman must be obedient.

No fighting or jealousy allowed.

Otherwise, don’t blame him for disregarding past feelings.

In the Chen Family, Chen Xuan is the sky!

His word is law!

"Got it, I won’t speak anymore!" Ji Keren looked aggrieved.

"Alright, I’ll let it go this time!"

Chen Xuan was very satisfied with her attitude.

It’s undeniable that the status of women in this world is indeed low; even someone like Ji Keren, a third-grade spirit cultivator, is still just a woman.

However...

"Alright, I won’t leave tonight! Prepare some good food, I’ll come over in the evening!"

After the stick comes the carrot.

Sure enough, Ji Keren’s expression immediately changed, "Okay, I’ll definitely prepare well, including wine! You said it, you’re not leaving tonight!"

"Don’t worry!"

Then he let go of her and got up to leave the tent.

....

For several consecutive days, Chen Xuan stayed in the camp.

Since Su Wanqiu said, since they are already sisters, Ji Keren is considered newlywed, so according to the customary rules of the Chen Family, he should spend more time with Ji Keren these days.

Back then, she, Pei Yuenan, and Liu Rushi were the same!

What else could Chen Xuan say? He could only praise her for being truly virtuous.

And just yesterday, Ji Keren also felt guilty for monopolizing him for days, so after handling affairs, she let him return to Youlan Mansion overnight.

Chen Xuan was very satisfied with this.

At dawn.

Opening his eyes, he saw the skill points harvested yesterday.

"It should be enough!"

Then he opened the panel.

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Transformation Stage (40100/100000))]

[Skill Points: 60785]

"Second grade, here I come."

Looking at the information on the panel, Chen Xuan’s heart filled with excitement.

He then got up and went to the side room.

"Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Transformation Stage) Upgrade!"

He shouted inwardly.

In the next moment, the familiar feeling appeared, a warm stream that surged endlessly like flowing water.

Appeared throughout his body, strengthening this already nearly perfect physique.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The golden blood within his body flowed like a tide, absorbing this warm stream.

Meanwhile, strands of golden light surrounded Chen Xuan, growing more and more intense, until he was like a scorching sun.

...

Approximately six hours later.

The golden light began to fade, Murran!

Chen Xuan opened his eyes.

"Second grade achieved!"

Looking down, there was a faint layer of gray matter on his body.

These were the last impurities of this body.

At this moment, Chen Xuan had already separated from the mortal flesh.

"Amazing!"

The feeling was incredible, a sense of rebirth, or rather, a new birth.

Especially now, he possessed an extraordinary aura, even standing amidst a crowd in ordinary attire, he would instantly attract everyone’s attention.

"Hmm... This isn’t good! Too flashy!"

Chen Xuan frowned slightly; he still preferred to keep a low profile, so he consciously held back.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

He returned to his previous appearance.

"Hmm, that’s how it should be!" He nodded in satisfaction.

Then he reopened the panel.

[Longevity: 19/800]

[Realm: Martial Cultivator: Second Grade (Consciousness Sea (21%)), Spirit Cultivator: Fourth Tier]

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Transformation Stage)]

[Skill Points: 885]

"Whoa!"

Seeing the longevity section, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim.

Breaking through to the second grade increased his longevity by a full 300 years.

What if he reaches the first grade? Wouldn’t he be able to live for a thousand years?

"Turned into a turtle!"

Chen Xuan shook his head, laughing.

To live long, even as a turtle, as long as it’s not green, he is willing; better a livable life than a dead one!

His gaze shifted to the realm section. Seeing the words "second grade" with his own eyes, his heart surged with excitement again.

After enduring for so long, finally reaching second grade.

This war between Great Xia and the uprising made him feel deeply powerless; being third grade was far from enough.

Luckily, now he’s second grade, with some ability for self-preservation.

Adding the divine foot ability and talent—concealment, even if he were merciless, he would definitely survive.

As for the consciousness sea shown after the second grade, this is what Xuan Er had mentioned before; it’s preparation for the first grade.

Only with the consciousness sea fully refined can one qualify for a realm breakthrough to first grade.

Yet now he faced the same issue as before.

The progress of the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique once again disappeared.
