Chen Xuan then explained some basic knowledge of the cultivation world to Qin Xuan.
For example, the basic levels of cultivation were divided into Body Tempering, Qi Refining, and Foundation Establishment.
And that the territories of true immortal sects were based on star systems, and so on.
"My residual soul's current strength is roughly only at the seventh level of Body Tempering."
"Not much different from your other three masters."
"It's just that because the level and quality of spiritual energy I use are far superior to theirs, the Hundred Ghost Emperor was like a plaything in my hands."
"As for the Blue Star you are currently living on, I don't know which star system it belongs to."
"But based on the current situation, this is at most a dying planet with no cultivation resources. It should not attract the attention of the cultivation sects in this star system."
"This is a good thing for us, at least we can cultivate freely."
Chen Xuan paused, then looked Qin Xuan up and down.
"To have cultivated the Body Tempering chapter to this extent in a dying planet with scarce spiritual energy is truly rare."
"How about this, next, as I say, go and buy some medicinal ingredients."
"Ginseng, Angelica sinensis, Nine-leaf Lingzhi, Immortality Grass, Sunflower..."
"The age doesn't need to be too high, over a hundred years is fine."
Qin Xuan: "..."
Over a hundred years and the age doesn't need to be too high?
Master, you might have a misunderstanding of age.
Qin Xuan was completely stunned.
There were some century-old ginsengs, and although they were a bit expensive, he could afford them with his current wealth.
But what about the others?
Angelica sinensis only took two years from planting to maturity. If it exceeded two years, it would sprout again and could not be used as medicine.
Where did the talk of a hundred years come from?
Not to mention Nine-leaf Lingzhi and Immortality Grass, he had never even heard of them.
Qin Xuan truthfully informed Chen Xuan about the situation of medicinal herbs on the Blue Star, and Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback.
"Not only are there not many high-aged medicinal materials, but even some common medicinal herbs have mutated?"
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Xuan recited another prescription.
"You should be able to buy these herbs, and with the addition of century-old ginseng and Seven-leaf Lingzhi, it will be enough for you to reach the sixth level of Body Tempering within three years."
"So long?"
"It is indeed very slow, but there is no other way," Chen Xuan nodded. "The spiritual energy content on the Blue Star is too scarce, it cannot assist in tempering."
"So, the improvement of all realms can basically only rely on yourself and the supply of herbs. There is no other way."
"However, the sixth level of Body Tempering is a huge improvement compared to the fifth level. Compared to your cultivation over the past twenty years, three years is still acceptable."
"Twenty years of cultivation?"
"Yes, aren't you twenty-six this year?"
"But I've only been cultivating for a few months..."
Chen Xuan: "..."
This time it was Chen Xuan's turn to be speechless.
He, as the founder, knew best what level this Body Tempering chapter was.
Even if it was given to the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of major immortal sects to cultivate, it would take at least half a month to achieve great success.
Keep in mind that they possessed the most powerful physiques and resources in the universe.
But Qin Xuan?
A native of a dying planet, with almost no medicine or other resources.
Yet he could cultivate the Body Tempering chapter to the fifth level in a few months.
Doesn't that mean that if he were given enough resources, he could also complete the Body Tempering chapter in a very short time?
What kind of genius was this?
"Never mind, I underestimated you."
"But the better it is, the faster you cultivate, the greater my chance of resurrection."
"Follow the prescription, and I will refine pills for you later."
"Okay."
"Then if Master has nothing else, I will go to rest early."
After thanking Chen Xuan, Qin Xuan prepared to wash up and sleep.
The New Year's Day Martial Arts Competition was gradually approaching, and Qin Xuan also planned to make final arrangements before heading to the capital.
However, Chen Xuan did not let him sleep so early. Instead, he beckoned and summoned the Shapeshifting Divine Artifact.
"Since you are my disciple, I naturally cannot treat you poorly."
"When your senior brothers and sisters became my disciples, I bestowed exclusive divine artifacts upon them, and you are no exception."
"However, my divine weapons were all consumed in the final battle."
As he spoke, he held the Shapeshifting Divine Artifact between his hands.
With a spread of his arms, the small rune sword, which was only a little over a foot long, suddenly grew, transforming into a three-foot-three-inch single-handed sharp sword.
The sharp sword was like a magnified version of the small sword, still covered in inscriptions.
But unlike when it was a small sword, there was a faint, strange ripple around the Shapeshifting Divine Artifact.
It seemed that the air was vibrating strangely due to the activation of the small sword.
"This item is called the Shapeshifting Divine Artifact."
"I obtained it a long time ago while traveling in the Middle Region."
"As the name suggests, it can change into various forms according to the owner's thoughts, and after changing, it will also possess the corresponding characteristics of the corresponding item."
"Although it is not a true divine artifact, it is very miraculous and has infinite uses."
"Since there are no other divine artifacts, you will have to make do with this for now."
"When I recover my physical body, I will find someone to forge a dedicated divine artifact for you."
After speaking, Chen Xuan gently waved his right hand, and the three-foot-long sword floated lightly in front of Qin Xuan.
Then he formed his fingers into a sword and made a deep cut on Qin Xuan's palm.
"Place your hand on the hilt and grip it tightly."
"Remember, no matter what happens, do not resist."
Qin Xuan nodded and immediately grabbed the precious sword as Chen Xuan instructed.
And when the wound in his hand touched the hilt of the Shapeshifting Divine Artifact, a seven-colored auspicious light instantly radiated from the sword.
Illuminating the entire room like a disco.
This was not the end. After Qin Xuan fully gripped the hilt of the Shapeshifting Divine Artifact, he felt a powerful suction drawing blood from his palm.
He subconsciously wanted to let go, but found that his entire palm was already fixed.
It was impossible to separate from the Shapeshifting Divine Artifact.
Time passed bit by bit, but the auspicious light did not diminish at all.
Not only that, Qin Xuan was also showing symptoms of excessive blood loss, such as a rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath.
"Relax your mind and establish a connection with the Shapeshifting Divine Artifact!"
After a few more minutes, with his mind in a daze, Chen Xuan's shout made Qin Xuan instantly clear-headed.
He quickly followed Chen Xuan's instructions, but he had no idea how to relax his mind or how to establish a connection with the divine artifact.
How should this be done?
It was too abstractly described...
After trying alone for more than twenty seconds, Qin Xuan felt his head getting more and more dizzy, and his eyelids heavier and heavier.
He wanted to ask Chen Xuan what it meant to relax his mind, but he could no longer control his mouth.
After persevering for another ten seconds, his vision finally went black, and he fell onto his bed.
