Chapter 26: Psychic Power!

Shangyu for less than half a month and already knew.""It's just a coincidence that I heard about it, so I might as well come over and buy some materials," Fang Chen said."Oh I wonder what kind of mat...On the other side, Yukigahara Wanxing Auction House!

Yuan Wen took out the Wutian Pill, causing a huge commotion in the Wanxing Auction House! This immediately caught the attention of the auction house's high-level officials.

At first, they thought it was a prank, but when they confirmed that the Wutian Pill truly came from their auction house, they immediately took it seriously.

Wanxing Auction House, Cabinet.

Bang!

Yuan Wen was furious! Pointing at the Wutian Dan on the table, he shouted: “I spent a full two thousand spirit stones bidding for this in your auction and it turns out to be fake! If not for my sharp eyes, I would have been tricked by you!”

At this moment, there is an old man inside. He is the elder of the Wanxing Auction House.

For Yu Yuanwen's anger, he could only nod politely and promise to give him an explanation.

At that moment, the main gate of the hall was opened and a woman walked in.

A woman in a long red robe walked in, her lips pursed, smiling faintly. Her skin was as white as freshly peeled loquats, and a tiny black mole at the corner of her mouth added to her charm, making her extremely beautiful.

The woman's name is Yan Qiao-lin, and she is the person in charge of Wanxing Auction House.

Yuan Wen greedily sized up Yan Qiaolin, then let out a cold snort and said, "Yan shopkeeper is here Take a look yourself. This was the Wutian Dan auctioned off at your place two days ago! If not for my sharp eyes! I almost got cheated by you! How come Has Wanxing Auction House started selling fakes now!"

Yan QiaoLin looked at the Wutian Dan, then at the elder.

The elder nodded slightly, indicating that it was indeed purchased from them.

Seeing this, Yan Qiao Lin's smile remained unchanged as she sat down opposite Yu Yuanwen.

She first offered them tea, saying with a smile: "Master Yu, why get so worked up. To be honest, the level of fakery in this pill far exceeded our expectations. We were also deceived and are victims too."

Otherwise, my auction house will double the compensation. What do you think

A flash of light crossed Yuan Wen's eyes, but he immediately let out a cold snort and said, "How about that, shopkeeper Yan You want to settle this matter with just double the amount"

"How much do you want"

At least ten times! Otherwise, I will make this public, and your shop's reputation will be ruined.

Faced with the threat, Yan Qiao's expression remained calm. She picked up a teacup from the table and sipped some spirit tea before saying, "Young Master Yu, it's best to show mercy where appropriate. Double the amount is all I can offer as compensation, but if you insist on ten times that, so be it. It all depends on you – dare you take it"

By the end, her voice was filled with iciness.

Yu Wen's heart trembled slightly. He had heard his father say that the Wanxing Auction House had a very deep background and should not be offended.

Just because of the fake Dan, he wanted to make a big profit, but he forgot this.

With a dry cough, he said, "Well, seeing that your firm wasn't intentionally malicious, let's just call it a day."

Hearing this, Yan Qiaolin finally smiled again and waved for someone to bring the spirit stones.

Yuan Wen was overjoyed. He didn't expect to actually make a profit.

After taking the spirit stones, he lingered no longer and left immediately.

"Looking at the fake pill, Yan Qiaolin said, “Go investigate who sold this pill! Dig three feet into the ground if you have to! Dare to deceive Wanxing Auction House, I will definitely dismember him!"

In the end, her expression turned grim.

To have received counterfeit goods and not realized it was a great humiliation for her!

"Yes!" The elder took the order and went down to investigate.

"Wait!" Yan Qiao Lin thought of something and continued, "Tell someone to investigate and see who figured out that it was a fake Dan."

“This pill is so well-made, it's almost impossible to tell it's fake. The fragrance, color, and shape are all perfect, I didn't even notice anything suspicious. Even I, as a seasoned appraiser, was fooled. Anyone who can spot this pill as a fake is definitely not ordinary. If we had someone like that working for us, incidents like this would never happen again.”

"Shopkeeper, wasn't it just said by Young Master that he saw it" The elder questioned.

"Just that little bit of skill If he could really see through it, he wouldn't wait until today," Yan Qiaolin scoffed. She really knew Yuan Wen too well.

"Yes!" The elder took the order and went to make arrangements.

Yàn Qiǎolín's jade hand gently picked up the fake dan: "I wonder, what kind of person could tell that it was a forgery"

After Fang Chen returned to the mansion, he told his master's wife the good news that he had won first place in the Qifeng assessment and become a member of the seventh peak of the inner sect.

After hearing the news, Qiu Mei was overjoyed and prepared a feast.

After dinner, Fang Chen returned to his room.

Today, while passing through the Sky Piercing Ladder, he absorbed a drop of Sword Demon's blood.

This drop of blood is not used for the flesh, cultivation, Heavenly Dao Demon Bone, etc., but is absorbed by willpower.

And willpower actually has another term, called mental strength.

Spiritual power is also extremely important for cultivators, especially alchemists, weapon smiths, array masters, and divine pattern masters.

Even you could use psychic power as an attack method, killing people invisibly, just like Fang Chen's Soul Heaven Demon Eye. It relies on the power of psychic strength as well.

Luo Yun and Meng Yao were able to communicate telepathically because they relied on their spiritual energy.

Only spiritual energy can be possessed after entering the Xiantian realm. It is impossible to gather it in the Ju Ling realm.

But!

The Sword Demon's Blood was beyond imagination! After his識海 (spiritual sea) absorbed this single drop of blood, Fang Chen actually possessed spiritual power in the Gathering Spirits Realm!

This is the might of the ancient Sword Demon!

Now Fang Chen's mental power is even comparable to that of a first-level cultivator in the postnatal realm!

Don't underestimate just being at the first level. You have to know that most cultivators can't even reach the first level when they enter the postnatal realm, and it takes a lot of time, effort, and energy to achieve it.

Most importantly, Fang Chen can already begin to cultivate spiritual energy, something that other cultivators in the Gathering Spirit Realm dare not even think about.

Of course, Fang Chen is not in a hurry to cultivate his spiritual energy now.

Because cultivating spiritual power also requires mental techniques, the cultivation speed is very slow without mental techniques.

He took out a sprig of lingzhi.

"Right now, I must break through to the Houtian realm as soon as possible. I believe that with these five Luo Lingcao, reaching the peak of Ju Ling in a short period of time should be no problem."

He hesitated for no moment, taking a sprig of Luo Ling grass and putting it straight in his mouth to chew and swallow!

Suddenly, a very pure energy entered Fang Chen's body! It began to be absorbed by him continuously!

After a day, Fang Chen's aura surged suddenly! He unexpectedly jumped from the sixth level of Gathering Spirits to the peak of the sixth level!

He opened his eyes, feeling the changes within him, his face full of disbelief!

“This! I actually absorbed the full 10% potency of this Luo Ling grass!”

If the potency of a medicine is 10%, then an ordinary person can only absorb 3% of the medicinal power of herbs.

The remaining seventy percent will be expelled from the body through the hundred acupoints, dissipating into the air.

To absorb more medicinal power, the best way is to refine it into pills.

But even if it were medicinal herbs, at most one could only absorb an extra ten percent.

But Fang Chen had just absorbed all ten percent of the effects of the Luoling Grass! This is also why he was able to directly raise his cultivation to the peak of the sixth level with just one Luoling Grass!

And such a breakthrough is especially solid, it will not cause the foundation to be unstable!

"This Demonic Sword Body is truly remarkable! If I continue taking this, by tomorrow I will be able to break through to the seventh level!"

Having thought of this, he no longer hesitated! He took out another sprig of Luo Lingcao! And once again began his cultivation!

The next day! A terrifying aura suddenly erupted! Fang Chen's first breakthrough reached the seventh level!

Fang Chen felt the changes within himself and smiled faintly.

Since being empowered by the Sword Demon's Physique, every breakthrough Fang Chen makes allows his power to multiply exponentially!

He was several times stronger than ordinary Gathering Spirit Realm cultivators in terms of physique, spiritual power, foundation, dantian, and even his sea of consciousness!

He could even fight against ordinary acquired realm first and second level cultivators!

Fang Chen was very satisfied with his own changes, but he had no intention of continuing to cultivate.

Today is the third day, and it's time to move. I've gone to report from the Seventh Peak.

He immediately walked out of the house.

When he saw the scene inside the mansion, he was stunned.it would."Comrade, are you sure you want this formation barrier to disappear" the female elf couldn't help but ask again.Clinto said, "Trust me, it won't take more than a stick of incense to break thr...
