Chapter 30: Adding Points to Spiritual Energy and a Blazing Fire Swallowed Up Everything

"Senior, on that stormy night, I went through countless hardships to pick this spiritual herb at the top of a cliff." Chen Xun was about to collapse again, tears welling up in his eyes. "To ensure its medicinal properties remained intact, I suffered severe injuries just to deliver it to Senior as quickly as possible."

Hearing Chen Xuns heart wrenching words, the sect elder was once again uncertain, but after a moment of hesitation, he still added ten more spiritual stones to Chen Xun's payment.

"Senior sure is experienced. Nothing good can escape your eyes!" Chen Xun exclaimed excitedly as if he had never seen spiritual stones in his life.

When the sect elder pried Chen Xuns cultivation base, he was astonished. _ It turned out that this man was at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Hes so young!_

As the elder was immersed in his amazement, Chen Xun went ahead and bought thirty more medicine boxes and left.

"Is that guy really a seventh-level Qi Refiner?"Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

The sect elder was stunned for a long time. This person's behavior and demeanor didnt match his cultivation at all. He seemed more like a mortal.

With a hunched back, Chen Xun slowly walked around the valley, haggling with vendors near their stalls for a long time. He bought three bags of medical herb seeds, but this time, he carefully examined the contents before handing over the spiritual stones.

He didnt attract much attention, especially with that torn snakeskin bag he carried around. The empty medicine boxes shuffled around in his bag and appeared through the torn hole every now and then. His appearance left the experienced cultivators feeling unlucky that day.

Chen Xun wandered around before entering another sect pavilion. He narrated a different version of his story this time.

He didnt seem embarrassed when he wept and cried to the pavilion elders, but the same couldnt be said about the latter.

Chen Xuns waist seemed to bend from the increasing weight of the snakeskin bag. He carried a mournful face that would make you think he had lost his ox friend.

He would stop at stalls and haggle the vendors for lower prices. He would even go over great lengths for a single spirit stone.

Later, he went to the alchemy pavilion and purchased a better alchemy furnace for fifty lower-grade spiritual stones.

As Chen Xun left the alchemy pavilion and went back to the street, it suddenly dawned on him that the alchemy furnace needed to be nourished with spiritual energy. He had neglected to do that with his old furnace.

He then went on to visit multiple different pavilions and sold the hundred-year old spiritual herbs that he had. He made sure to wait an hour in between each transaction, however.

There were already more than ten bags of spiritual seeds in his snakeskin bag. They were all Qi Condensation spiritual seeds. He couldnt find better ones anywhere.

He continued "scavenging." When vagabond cultivators saw his cultivation at the seventh level of Qi Condensation, they turned very polite and dared not deceive him.

Having gained a lot today, Chen Xun carried a slight smile and picked up his pace, leaving the valley. He soon returned back to the caves entrance without encountering any trouble.

"Old ox, I'm back!" He greeted and pushed the boulder to the side with one hand, and a black shadow darted out.

The black ox pounced on him instantly, mooing continuously.

"Haha. let's go inside to talk." Chen Xun held the ox's head and looked around before sealing the cave entrance again and walking inside.

"Moo, moo!" The big black ox kept circling Chen Xun with its eyes full of joy, and it kept tugging at him with its mouth.

"Alright, I won't leave you again in the future. It was just this once." Chen Xun said happily, looking at the snakeskin bag. "Quick, take a look at all these treasures inside!"

"What? Nothing happened?!"

"Moo?"

Chen Xun was bewildered, and so was the big black ox. They didn't feel any different at all and were still at the seventh level of Qi Condensation.

The cave was mostly dark, lit only by a faint candlelight that swayed gently with the breeze that seeped through the tiny crack in the boulder.

"Maybe one point is not enough to feel anything?"

"Moo."

The big black ox nodded, indicating that this might be the case. The more points assigned, the better the effect must be.

"Then let's try again next year. Let's get back to work for now," Chen Xun said indifferently, and the big black ox also nodded, running off to the herb field, seemingly unconcerned.

Two months later, Chen Xun and the big black ox were using a Fireball to dry their clothes when suddenly, a raging fire erupted in the cave, and thick smoke billowed.

"Oh my god! Quick, put it out!"

"Moo!!"

Chen Xun and the big black ox roared in shock, and quickly cut the spiritual energy away from the Fireball Technique, causing it to snuff out. Their clothes were already burnt to a still, however.

The black ox hastily pushed the boulder away and both it and Chen Xun rushed outside. He only had underwear on and looked quite miserable.

"What... what just happened?" Chen Xun mumbled in shock, looking at the black ox. "I only used the Fireball Technique like usual."

"Moo?"

The big black ox shook its head, its eyes wide with suspicion as it looked at Chen Xun. _Did you secretly learn some new kind of spell? How was this the Fireball Technique? _It thought.

"Moo."

The big black ox pushed Chen Xun away and stood up, as if it wanted to demonstrate what the Fireball Technique really was.

Chen Xun stared at the big black ox in a daze, still confused.

"Moo!"

With a loud shout, the black ox focused its gaze in the distance, and its physical and spiritual energy powers surged to its hooves, forming an enormous fireball.

_Boom! _

A bright light illuminated the area with the sound of crackling. A huge fireball soared to the sky, burning countless branches and leaves to ashes, and causing thick smoke to rise up in the air.

"Old ox, stop it quickly! Put out the fire!" Chen Xun shouted in panic

Starting a wildfire would be a disaster! They didnt know any spell to conjure water yet!
