C79 Endless Forest Again?
C79 Endless Forest Again?
Originally, he planned to use the spiritual Qi and the special energy inside the Hidden Dragon Pavilion to become a Level-7 Qi Refiner and increase his potential to a new limit. However, now that this goal was basically destroyed, he was thinking about other ways to obtain the same outcome.
There were nineteen days left until the opening of the Blood Prison Pavilion. Now, he was already a peak Level-6 Qi Refiner, and just a step away from Level 7, he could try to break through after cultivating for a few days.
However, breaking through to the Qi Refining level 7 required a sufficient amount of spiritual Qi. Due to the limit of his potential, he needed a huge amount of spiritual Qi to breakthrough.
Although he had over 3,000 low Level-8 spirit stones in his hands, he planned on using most of them to power his special ability. However, if he used them to advance to the next level, it would delay his potential's advancement.
After experiencing several breakthroughs and various life-and-death battles, Chu Zhongtian was very, very, very well-aware of how important that thing called potential was. Had he not pushed his potential to its very limit after his first breakthrough, there was no way he could've fought opponents two to three levels above him. Therefore, he wouldn't delay the advancement of his potential just to make a quick breakthrough.
However, if he didn't choose to break through to Level 7 of the Qi Refining Realm, he would fail to defeat Liu Yongjun with his current strength. This forced him into choosing breakthrough over potential.
"Looks like I can only go to Endless Forest to train!" He couldn't ask for more spirit stones from his family so soon. Since he needed many spirit stones to break through, he decided to enter the Endless Forest to train.
Fighting was the best way to increase his strength. He could increase his strength, combat experience, and improve his cultivation base by fighting with strange beasts.
Since the bodies of strange beasts were filled with abundant Qi, he decided to use them as spirit stone supplements for his cultivation. Also, he could use them to duplicate more pills and spirit fruits.
Moreover, the Endless Forest was filled with countless heavenly treasures. If he found one, he could either use them or sell them for spirit stones.
Chu Zhongtian was not the kind of person who would drag things out, so he stood up and left his courtyard after deciding. Then, he went to the family meeting room and found Chu Fann.
He was there to tell Chu Fann that he was leaving for the Endless Forest and also ask for the family's Purple Gold Hawk for long travel.
After all, the Lu City was thousands of miles away from Endless Forest. If he walked there, it would at least take seven or eight days. Just the two-way journey would take up at least half a month of his time. This would be too much of a waste of time.
When Chu Fann heard him, Chu Fann's first reaction was advising strongly against him going to the forest.
After all, Chu Zhongtian was no longer the no-name nobody now. His outstanding performance in the Hunting Contest had made him a potential threat in the eyes of all the major families, and no one hated him more than the three big families right now.
If he stayed in the family, the other families wouldn't pose any threat to him, but if he left the family, perhaps the three families would send their experts to assassinate him without hesitation.
Chu Zhongtian knew that Chu Fann was doing this for his own safety, but he also knew that if he wanted to improve his strength quickly... The Endless Forest was the only way. If he could obtain a heaven-defying opportunity, the benefits brought by the Endless Forest might even surpass the benefits brought by the Hidden Dragon Pavilion.
Furthermore, retreating in face of an unknown assassination was just typical of the weak, and this was not something Chu Zhongtian wanted to do now or in the future.
Chu Zhongtian's resolute attitude trouble Chu Fann a bit. At the same time, he also knew that Chu Zhongtian's matter was no longer something that an elder like him could decide. Therefore, he asked Chu Zhongtian to temporarily return and then reported this matter to the patriarch.
After returning to the courtyard, Chu Zhongtian didn't have to wait for long before Chu Fann and the grand elder, the one proficient in pill refining, rushed over.
"Grand Elder, why are you here too?" This grand elder was the one and only expert with cultivation at the upper-rank ninth grade.
It was only thanks to the grand elder that the Chu Family was ranked second among the three great families. It could be said that the grand elder's status and influence in the Chu Family was not inferior to the patriarch Chu Tianyun himself.
It was just that his personality was too easy-going. He had always been obsessed with pills, so he was not very enthusiastic about matters of power. Therefore, although he was the grand elder, he rarely showed up.
"Let's hear him out first." Then, without explaining why he came, the grand elder gestured for Chu Fann to speak first.
"Tian, the patriarch has agreed to let you go to Endless Forest to train." Chu Fann's first sentence made Chu Zhongtian heave a sigh of relief.
After displaying his talent, he could get the family's and get enough cultivation resources. However, that also put an invisible restriction on him: he couldn't make any decisions that were related to his life and death by himself.
Initially, he was worried that the patriarch would strongly oppose him and planned to leave secretly, but he did not expect Chu Tianyun to have actually agreed.
In fact, what Chu Zhongtian didn't know was that when Chu Fann told Chu Tianyun that Chu Zhongtian wanted to go to the Endless Forest to train alone, Chu Tianyun's reaction was even stronger than Chu Fann's. Not only did he reject the offer, but he even planned to visit Chu Zhongtian personally and order him to give up on going to the Endless Forest.
Later on, the old ancestor in the backyard's restricted area suddenly sent a message, saying that he supported Chu Zhongtian's idea.
"Just talent and amazing comprehension ability alone doesn't make one a genius. Blood, sweat, and tears refine a cultivator into a genius," conveyed the old ancestor.
Since Chu Tianyun had agreed to let him go to the Endless Forest, Chu Zhongtian had to prepare his luggage as he was planning on staying there for a period.
However, before he could express his gratitude, Chu Fann's next sentence almost made him slip on the rugged ground.
"Tian, although the patriarch has agreed to let you train in the Endless Forest, your day of departure has to be delayed until the second day of the Lunar New Year."
"Why?" Chu Zhongtian asked, puzzled.
He was now on the verge of breaking through and urgently needed a large number of spirit stones to breakthrough. But he also needed a large amount of Qi just as urgently to increase potential by consuming duplicated pills. Let alone waiting for seven days, just waiting for another second seemed to push his anxiousness to new heights.
"Tian, the family will hold a ceremony to worship our ancestors on New Year's Eve. All the members of the Chu Family, regardless of whether they are in Lu City or other places, will come back to attend."
"Tian, this is the first time you will attend the ceremony of offering sacrifices to your ancestors after returning to the family. No matter what, you've to appear in front of the family members and show them your strength. This will bring you unimaginable benefits in the future."
