The slightly cool river water instantly refreshed Fang Chen. After gradually getting used to the temperature of the river water, he completely let go of his body and mind and soaked himself in the river.
In my previous life, if I hadn't cultivated the heartless sword path and lost my true self, Wei Lan wouldn't have died under my sword in order to awaken me...
"Wow! Master, you are secretly taking a bath by yourself." Thunder Kid rubbed his sleepy eyes. Then he immediately discovered Fang Chen in the river. Saying that, he jumped off the rock and into the river water. He kept slapping the water surface and had a great time playing.
Looking at Thunder Kid constantly splashing in the river water, Fang Chen seemed to be infected. The gloom in his heart was swept away. Then he started splashing together with Thunder Kid.
After a long time, Fang Chen, exhausted, returned to the rock naked and lay down. He couldn't help but feel that his body and mind suddenly became much lighter. Too many changes had happened during this period. If it couldn't be released all the time, even with a strong state of mind, it would collapse.
During this time, the spirit of the weapon quietly watched all this without any intention of disturbing. Having been together for so long, he also felt that Fang Chen needed to relax like this. After all, only when the mind is relaxed can future cultivation be twice the result with half the effort.
"How is it?" Seeing Fang Chen get up and prepare to put on clothes, the spirit of the weapon said with a light smile.
"Very good." Fang Chen's hand holding the clothes paused slightly. Then he immediately understood what the spirit of the weapon meant. Then he said with a faint smile, "The feeling of being relaxed is really great."
"Um." The spirit of the weapon responded. Seeing that Fang Chen had put on his clothes, he continued, "The pills have been refined. There are a total of fourteen Returning Yuan Pills, two Six-Turn Marrow Washing Pills, and one Three-Flavor Initial Divine Pill."
Seeing Fang Chen's confusion, the spirit of the weapon smiled slightly and then continued to explain, "The function of this Returning Yuan Pill is naturally to replenish profound energy. For those below the Xuan Emperor Realm, just taking one pill can instantly fill up the profound energy in the body. After taking the Six-Turn Marrow Washing Pill, every breakthrough can wash the meridians and temper the marrow once. It can last for six times in total. Of course, it will lose its effect after reaching the Xuan Emperor Realm. As for this Three-Flavor Initial Divine Pill, it can allow the taker to have no bottlenecks before breaking through to the Xuan King Realm."
"Damn! So powerful!" Fang Chen couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Don't be too happy too soon. These pills are not refined for you." Looking at Fang Chen stunned, the spirit of the weapon couldn't help but chuckle and said, "If it's not in an extremely critical situation, you'd better use the Returning Yuan Pill sparingly. After all, every time you restore profound energy is a kind of cultivation. Relying too much on pills will harm you instead."
Seeing Fang Chen nodding deeply in agreement, the spirit of the weapon continued, "When you condensed the Dao heart, your body has been completely strengthened and transformed. Naturally, you don't need this Six-Turn Marrow Washing Pill. Although the Three-Flavor Initial Divine Pill can eliminate bottlenecks, after taking it, the highest achievement in this life will only be able to stop at the Xuan Saint Realm."
"This Returning Yuan Pill can be used when in a desperate situation. But since I can't use the other two kinds of pills, why did you refine them?" After the news is exposed, I will inevitably be hunted down. At that time, this Returning Yuan Pill is a life-saving thing. But what did the spirit of the weapon refine the other two kinds of pills for? Fang Chen couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"Sell them." The spirit of the weapon rolled his eyes and continued, "If we can exchange for some rare natural treasures, that would be the best. Your situation will become more and more difficult in the future. Having more preparations is always good."
Hearing this, Fang Chen said with a wry smile, "I know this. But now everyone in the world wants to snatch the Returning Yuan Sword. If I go out at this time..."
"You don't have to worry about this." The spirit of the weapon chuckled and then said, "Thunder Kid, start."
"Okay." Thunder Kid responded cheerfully. Then he cursed, "You old thing, not allowed to call me Thunder Kid!" After saying that, he jumped to Fang Chen's side and looked around.
After a while, under Fang Chen's puzzled gaze, Thunder Kid clapped his small hands. He walked to the Returning Yuan Sword and then started drawing in the air with his hand. Before long, the originally simple Returning Yuan Sword actually turned into an extremely ordinary-looking long sword.
Looking at this extremely ordinary-looking long sword in his hand, Fang Chen was stunned. Then he brandished it a few times. Only then did he find that not only did the Returning Yuan Sword change its appearance to be ordinary, but even when held in his hand, he couldn't feel any abnormality at all.
"Master, lower your head." Seeing Fang Chen satisfied, Thunder Kid waved his small hand happily. When he could reach Fang Chen's face, he started drawing in the air again.
Thunder Kid tilted his small head. He looked left and drew a few times. Then he looked right and drew a few times. After a long time, he clapped his small hands and cheered, "Okay, master."
Hearing this, Fang Chen opened his eyes. After looking at Thunder Kid, he got up and came to the river. At this time, a middle-aged man was reflected on the water surface. With sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, slightly white temples, and a chiseled face full of vicissitudes.
"Not bad!" If I walk out of the Mangqing Mountain Range like this, with these blood-stained clothes on, no one should suspect. Thinking of this, Fang Chen couldn't help but praise.
Standing up and identifying the direction, Fang Chen couldn't help but frown. "Judging from the value of these pills, I'm afraid people in ordinary small cities may not even recognize them, let alone afford to buy them. Big cities..."
"Go to the Four-sided City." The spirit of the weapon said, "There are more big families in the Four-sided City. There are also more frequent struggles. Under the chaos, it's not easy to be noticed."
"That's right, that's right. Let's go to the Four-sided City, master." Thunder Kid raised his small hand and looked at Fang Chen expectantly.
"Why are you so excited?" Fang Chen said in confusion.
"Because there is a profound crystal mine in the Four-sided City." Thunder Kid said excitedly, "And there are many medium-grade and high-grade profound crystals produced!"
"You have been asleep for tens of thousands of years. How do you know that the profound crystal mine hasn't been mined out yet?" Fang Chen suddenly realized that his understanding of the Azure Continent was really just a drop in the ocean.
"Master, you are so stupid. If it can be called a profound crystal mine, how could it be mined out in just tens of thousands of years." Seeing Fang Chen glaring at him, Thunder Kid quickly smiled fawningly and said, "That, master, the journey is long. I have a good thing for you."
Before Fang Chen could ask, Thunder Kid ran to his feet. He raised his hands and waved. After a while, Thunder Kid checked around to make sure there was no problem. Then he jumped and shrank his body and stood on Fang Chen's shoulder and said, "Okay. With this Wind Riding Array, master should be able to reach the Four-sided City before dark."
Fang Chen was stunned. Can a journey of tens of thousands of miles be completed in one day? Then he circulated profound energy. With a movement of his feet, his figure pulled up a afterimage and whistled away.
"Bang!" Fang Chen hadn't adapted to this speed yet. He didn't react in time and crashed into a towering tree. After leaving a human-shaped hole in the trunk, he rushed towards the Four-sided City with a whooshing sound.
Along the way, flying birds scattered in fright. Wild animals were paralyzed. Even passers-by were stunned. What the hell is this thing? How can it be so fast...
