Chapter 509: Chapter 44: Comprehending the Reincarnation Law, Devouring Spirit Root Fifth Stage! (2)

Lin Chen only felt a sudden change before losing consciousness.

...

Three days later, Lin Chen awoke.

He heard Jiang Liqian’s excited voice beside him.

"Senior Brother Lin, you’ve finally woken up? The first time feeling the reincarnation of a past life, it lasted a full three days?"

"Senior Brother, do you remember what happened in your previous life?"

Lin Chen looked at Jiang Liqian and saw some expectation in her eyes.

But soon, Jiang Liqian’s tone became somewhat puzzled:

"Strange, Senior Brother Lin’s aura seems not to have grown... Could it be that he hasn’t gained any strength from reincarnation?"

"That’s not right, given Senior Brother Lin’s talent and disposition, he should have achieved something great in one of his past lives..."

Upon hearing Jiang Liqian’s words, Lin Chen’s face showed a hint of embarrassment.

It seemed like Jiang Liqian expected Lin Chen to have been strong in a previous life, that he was the reincarnation of some Great Power.

But in reality, that was completely untrue...

In fact, over these three days, Lin Chen felt like he had just taken a nap.

He hadn’t even dreamed.

It seemed he truly didn’t have any past reincarnation...

Seeing Lin Chen’s embarrassment, Jiang Liqian comforted him:

"It’s alright, Senior Brother Lin, there’s always a chance that the past life wasn’t powerful... But that’s not really a big issue."

"Even if you can’t gain strength from previous reincarnations, you can still wait for future achievements..."

Lin Chen nodded upon hearing this.

That’s the most buggy aspect of the Reincarnation Law.

Mastering the Reincarnation Law is akin to having countless chances to start over.

...

Lin Chen had already obtained the seed of the Reincarnation Law, so as long as he continued to comprehend, he could understand the Reincarnation Law.

For the three major laws of Becoming an Immortal, Lin Chen had already obtained two in advance.

Only the Law of Cause and Effect remained.

However, the Law of Cause and Effect was in the hands of the Ten Thousand Laws Ancestor, and Lin Chen currently didn’t have a way to obtain it.

According to Jiang Liqian’s plan, although Lin Chen could exert his full strength in the Celestial Ruins,

waiting to become even stronger and then seizing the Jiang Country Treasure Vault would obviously reduce unexpected risks.

Since the plan was already set, Lin Chen’s next goal could only be cultivation.

...

Due to the particularity of the Time Law, Lin Chen could cultivate in the Celestial Ruins and bring the resources of Jiang Country Celestial Ruins back to Blue Star.

So Lin Chen certainly had to make good use of this huge advantage.

Next, Lin Chen started selling various resources in Jiangdu using a new identity.

From Breakthrough Pills like Foundation Establishment Pills, Golden Yuan Pills, to Nascent Soul Pills, Lin Chen could sell them in great quantities.

These could be mass-produced in Great Xia Country, from Lower Grade Magical Artifact to Top Grade Treasure Artifact.

A Foundation Establishment Pill only fetches over a thousand Spirit Stones, a Golden Yuan Pill can sell for ten thousand Spirit Stones, and a Nascent Soul Pill is priced around a million Spirit Stones.

Lin Chen sold each type of pill according to its rarity.

Maximizing the sale potential while ensuring not to affect market prices.

After all, Great Xia Country had tens of thousands of cultivators hastening the maturation of Spiritual Medicine day and night, along with assembly line mass production.

Pills were the least scarce items.

The price of Magical Treasures was not very high because they were relatively low-grade.

Mostly suitable for Nascent Soul cultivators, while Divinity Transformation cultivators completely overlooked them.

But the quantity was abundant!

As long as there were enough Exotic Metals, Great Xia Country’s production was virtually unbounded.

Lin Chen acquired Spiritual Ore at low prices from the Jiangdu Celestial Ruins, processed and then sold it to cultivators in the Cultivation Realm.

The profit margin was more than tenfold.

Though each item could only earn a few hundred to a few thousand Spirit Stones, a batch sale of tens of thousands of items meant tens of millions of Spirit Stones credited.

Of course, Lin Chen didn’t have to handle these matters personally.

With the Martial Arts Puppet, Lin Chen received close to a million Spirit Stones in income almost daily.

While Lin Chen focused most of his energy on cultivation.

Having entered the Returning Void period and being in the Celestial Ruins where Spiritual Energy was abundant.

His cultivation speed was even faster than during the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Almost every cultivation session resulted in noticeable improvement in his cultivation level...

Thus, three years passed by.

...

Three years later, in a certain Blessed Land in Jiangdu.

It was located above Jiangdu, one of the three towering mountains.

The most spiritually abundant place in all of Jiangdu.

Two years ago, Lin Chen and Jiang Liqian jointly spent a billion Spirit Stones to rent a Blessed Land Cave Mansion.

Forty years duration.

This Blessed Land was more than twice as abundant in Spiritual Energy compared to the inn Lin Chen previously resided.

Lin Chen sat cross-legged, mystical fluctuations swept around him.

He was in the core area of a Spirit Gathering Array, surrounded by over ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Each Spirit Stone was of Top Grade.

As Lin Chen continually operated the Cultivation Technique, the energy from these Spirit Stones continuously flowed into his Dantian, transforming into nourishment for the Devouring Spirit Root.

Half a month later...

When Lin Chen opened his eyes again, all those Top Grade Spirit Stones had turned to powder.

Lin Chen frowned slightly, "Unfortunately, the Devouring Spirit Root is still some way from the Fifth Stage..."

"Alas, it seems like the Spirit Realm Jade Dew can’t be spared..."

Lin Chen regrettably took out a palm-sized bottle.

Upon opening the lid, a wave of pure Spiritual Energy passed through.

The bottle contained five hundred drops of Spirit Realm Jade Dew.

Purchased over more than three years in Jiangdu.

Jiang Country Celestial Ruins dated back to 130,000 years ago, located in the Spirit Realm.

Therefore, the price of Spirit Realm Jade Dew was much cheaper than when Lin Chen bought in Yunzhou.

Even so, each drop of Spirit Realm Jade Dew cost a million Spirit Stones.

Spirit Realm Jade Dew was indeed the Five Continents’ provision to the Spirit Realm.

The Spiritual Energy of the Five Great States, after being tempered by the Celestial Dao, flowed into the Spirit Realm.

Condensing into a Spirit Vein.

Only in the highest grade Spirit Veins could Spirit Realm Jade Dew be born.

Hence, even in the current Jiang Country Celestial Ruins, Spirit Realm Jade Dew was very regulated.

Gathering five hundred drops of Spirit Realm Jade Dew was already quite challenging for Lin Chen.

But at the moment, Lin Chen couldn’t afford to save.

He slightly opened his mouth, swallowing all five hundred drops of Spirit Realm Jade Dew.

Soon, the essence of Spirit Realm Jade Dew flowed into his Dantian.

After dozens of breaths...

The hundred zhang around Lin Chen, heaven and earth Spiritual Energy suddenly started to riot, subsequently spreading throughout the cave mansion.

Hundreds of zhang away, Jiang Liqian, who was in closed-door cultivation, opened her eyes.

"Senior Brother Lin, has your cultivation made a breakthrough again? How did it cause such a commotion?"

Jiang Liqian was slightly surprised, she thought for a moment, performed a few Techniques, suppressing the fluctuation within the cave mansion to prevent it from spreading beyond the Blessed Land Cave Mansion.

After all, it was better to act low-key in Jiang Country Celestial Ruins.

...

At this moment, Lin Chen felt like he was in a mystical state.

Within his Dantian, the Devouring Spirit Root seemed insatiable, continuously absorbing the surrounding heaven and earth Spiritual Energy.

Luckily, the Spiritual Energy where Lin Chen was located was extremely dense.

Otherwise, it might not satisfy the voracious appetite of the Devouring Spirit Root.

This lasted for three whole two-hour periods before the Spiritual Energy fluctuation around Lin Chen gradually stabilized.

He slightly opened his eyes, sensed his condition, then showed a look of surprise.

"The Devouring Spirit Root has finally entered the Fifth Stage..."

"But the effect is too strong!"

Lin Chen gasped, realizing his speed of absorbing Spiritual Energy was about three times faster than before!

For instance, before Lin Chen’s whole day of cultivation could run through eight Grand Circulations.

Consuming two hundred Top Grade Spirit Stones.

Now, Lin Chen could operate the Cultivation Technique through twenty-four Grand Circulations in a day of twelve two-hours.

Simultaneously, the number of Spirit Stones consumed had tripled.

A day of cultivation would deplete six hundred Top Grade Spirit Stones.

"At this pace, I might touch the mid-period threshold of the Returning Void in two to three years?"

While delighted, Lin Chen felt a bit of heartache.

His cultivation speed seemed too fast.

A normal Returning Void Cultivator would consume less than six Top Grade Spirit Stones daily in cultivation.

Lin Chen’s consumption exceeded a hundred times that of the same realm, and concurrently... his cultivation speed was nearly a hundred times that of same realm!

"Within two to three years, I will definitely reach the mid-period of Returning Void!"

"In ten years, I might catch a glimpse of the late-period splendor of Returning Void?"

Lin Chen thought silently to himself.
