Chapter 99

"What on earth is going on? I remember I was cultivating a new technique, how could this happen?"

Xiaoming drank the medicine that Caiyi handed over in one gulp. A strange, fresh fragrance filled his mouth, and an unprecedented coolness surged into his head.

The splitting headache began to rapidly subside, and his dazed mind gradually cleared up. Ye Zhen was puzzled, "What kind of medicine is this? It's so effective!"

"This is my exclusive secret formula, the Tranquility Elixir! Apart from the Sect Leader and Sister Liao, you are the third person to enjoy it."

After saying this, Caiyi gave Ye Zhen a playful smile, "Yesterday morning, a maid came to me in a hurry, saying you had fainted. When I arrived, I found that you had fainted due to overexerting your divine sense, causing it to be depleted."

"Yesterday?"

Ye Zhen's eyes widened again.

"You were unconscious for a whole day and night! Before this, you had already taken two bowls of Tranquility Elixir, otherwise, you wouldn't have woken up."

Ye Zhen was directly stunned.

Cultivating the Spirit Control Technique almost left him crippled.

Reflecting on it now, he realized he had been too excited yesterday. Seeing the obvious effects of the Spirit Control Technique, he couldn't help but practice it intensively.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhen immediately learned his lesson and resolved to be more cautious in the future, especially when cultivating special techniques.

"Fairy Caiyi, what do you mean by cultivating divine sense?" Ye Zhen asked in confusion.

"I was also wondering. Normally, only martial artists at the Spirit Formation Realm would cultivate divine sense to prepare for breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm.

Moreover, the methods for cultivating divine sense are extremely complex. Under normal circumstances, not to mention the True Essence Realm, even those at the Spirit Induction Realm cannot cultivate divine sense. I'm very curious, how did you manage to cultivate divine sense?"

Upon saying this, Fairy Caiyi realized she had overstepped, probing into someone else's cultivation secrets, which is a major taboo in the martial world.

To her surprise, as soon as she spoke, Ye Zhen, who had regained some of his vitality, jumped out of bed. A True Essence Sword Finger shot out, and with a kick, a fifty-pound stone block landed steadily on the True Essence Sword Finger.

"I cultivate like this... hmm?"

Halfway through his sentence, Ye Zhen was stunned!

Nine feet!

The maximum length of the True Essence Sword Finger that shot out from his body reached nine feet and one inch!

Ye Zhen remembered clearly that before he fainted, his True Essence Sword Finger was only seven feet and two inches long. The length had increased by more than a quarter!

A hint of unusual color flashed in Fairy Caiyi's eyes, and she was immediately captivated by Ye Zhen's method of cultivating divine sense. By the end, her originally playful expression turned serious!

"Your method is indeed unique, simple yet effective, and it breaks the restriction that divine sense cannot be cultivated below the Spirit Formation Realm. It is indeed precious. However, it is also extremely dangerous to cultivate."

"Ye Zhen, you must never reveal this method of cultivating divine sense in front of others, or it will bring you great disaster!"

At this point, Fairy Caiyi's expression paused, "Moreover, you shouldn't have demonstrated it to me. This cultivation method is very precious. I estimate that its effectiveness might even surpass the middle-grade Earth Rank method I use to cultivate divine sense..."

"That's too formal. The Tranquility Elixir, which only the Sect Leader can enjoy, you've given me several bowls. A small cultivation method like this is nothing. Come, I'll teach you a few cultivation mantras now."

Jumping out of bed, Ye Zhen, who had been unconscious for a day and night, picked up an apple and started eating it, while explaining the third form of the Spirit Control Technique, which complements the cultivation of True Essence, to Fairy Caiyi.

Someone had saved his life and used the extremely precious Tranquility Elixir, which was a great favor. Not repaying such a favor would make Ye Zhen feel uncomfortable.

Silently memorizing the cultivation method Ye Zhen transmitted, a hint of surprise flashed in Fairy Caiyi's eyes.

"Since that's the case, Ye Zhen, why don't you stay on Fairy Peak for a while longer?"

"Hmm?" Ye Zhen was puzzled.

"Your secret technique for cultivating divine sense is very effective, but it consumes a lot of divine sense. The Tranquility Elixir I personally prepare can not only heal divine sense damage but also quickly restore consumed divine sense.

If you stay on Fairy Peak, I can prepare a few doses of Tranquility Elixir for you every day, which will allow your divine sense to grow rapidly for a period of time. It will also prevent you from being chased around by those annoying guys for challenges." Fairy Caiyi said.

"Uh..."

Ye Zhen was a bit embarrassed.

"What, don't believe me? Divine sense is very powerful, and the higher your cultivation, the more significant its effects."

"Alright!"

Ye Zhen understood that Fairy Caiyi was returning the favor. If he hadn't transmitted the cultivation mantras to her, he probably wouldn't have received such benefits.

Thinking of this, the meaning of the two words 'sacrifice and gain' that he had been puzzled about since childhood became clear.

Sacrifice and gain, there must be a sacrifice to have a gain!

"Ye Zhen, you must remember, you can only cultivate this method of divine sense once every two hours. After cultivating three times, you must sleep once before cultivating again. Otherwise, it will leave hidden injuries to your soul, which can be very troublesome."

Before leaving, Fairy Caiyi emphasized this to Ye Zhen again.

What could Ye Zhen do? He nodded obediently.

In the following days, Ye Zhen stayed on Fairy Peak, focusing on his cultivation.

Following Fairy Caiyi's guidance, he cultivated the Spirit Control Technique every two hours. After every two sessions, Fairy Caiyi would bring him a bowl of Tranquility Elixir.

The rest of the time, Ye Zhen spent cultivating the Cold Plum Sword Technique. At night, with his greatly enhanced divine sense, he practiced the Hundred Layers True Qi.

His divine sense was rapidly increasing, as evidenced by the length of his True Essence Sword Finger.

In just a few days, it had increased from nine feet and one inch to thirty feet, thirty-two feet, and even forty feet.

With the rapid growth of his divine sense, Ye Zhen's knowledge also gradually expanded, thanks to the presence of the great expert, Fairy Caiyi.

For example, Ye Zhen had figured out why his divine sense had increased by two feet after being unconscious for a day and night.

When divine sense is depleted and damaged, if it cannot be restored, one becomes a fool. But if it is restored, the divine sense will surge.

Moreover, the Tranquility Elixir played a role in this.

The Tranquility Elixir not only restores divine sense but also enhances it to some extent, especially during the first few doses.

However, this enhancing effect diminishes with each subsequent dose.

The astonishing value of the Tranquility Elixir is evident from this.

But when Ye Zhen later learned the true value of the Tranquility Elixir by chance, he was still greatly surprised.

*Whoosh!*

Cold Plum Breaking Snow!

On Fairy Peak, Ye Zhen thrust his sword downward. At the limit of the thrust, the Tianjing sword suddenly sprang up, emitting a sharp whistling sound, and instantly split the air, forming a sword qi four feet long.

Fairy Caiyi, who had just walked over, frowned slightly at Ye Zhen's performance of the Cold Plum Sword Technique.

"Ye Zhen, the Cold Plum Sword Technique is not like this!"

"Not like this?"

Ye Zhen was a bit confused, "The sword manual says it's like this. I followed it exactly, and the four-foot-long sword qi is far more powerful than what the manual describes."

"Power? The four-foot-long sword qi you unleashed is not the power of the sword technique but the result of your rapidly increased divine sense.

The sword manual is dead, but the person is alive. The Cold Plum Sword Technique is named after the cold plum's imagery. If you cannot integrate the cold plum's imagery, the power of your Cold Plum Sword Technique will be only slightly stronger than a middle-grade Human Rank sword technique."

"Imagery?"

Ye Zhen was puzzled.

"Have you seen cold plums being pressed down by snow in winter?"

"I saw them when I was a child!"

"Then think about it, think about the scene of cold plums being pressed down by accumulated snow." Fairy Caiyi said.

In Ye Zhen's mind, a scene of a snowy winter immediately appeared. Several cold plums bloomed in the falling snow. The snow grew heavier, and the accumulated snow on the cold plum branches became thicker.

The cold plums were pressed down, bending more and more. When they reached their limit, the cold plum branches suddenly sprang up, and the red cold plums that had been pressed down shot up, causing the snow to fly and the red plums to tremble!

"Like this?"

In the next moment, Ye Zhen moved.

The Tianjing sword thrust out diagonally, and a vast amount of True Essence surged out of his body. Instantly, the sword seemed to be weighed down by a thousand pounds, and the blade bent noticeably.

At the moment of maximum pressure, another surge of True Essence rushed into the blade, causing it to spring up!

As the blade sprang up, Ye Zhen followed with an upward thrust!

*Whoosh!*

The sword light tore through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and a seven-foot-long sword qi shot out, splitting a rock several meters away in half.

"Seven feet?"

Ye Zhen was also greatly surprised.

The power had doubled.

"Is it like this?" Ye Zhen asked Fairy Caiyi excitedly.

Fairy Caiyi was a bit stunned, her eyes filled with surprise.

What she had just seen...

Almost a cold plum breaking through the snow!

The cold plum imagery!

She had only given a hint, and Ye Zhen had already demonstrated the cold plum imagery, albeit crudely.

Although the cold plum imagery is just a basic, entry-level imagery, it's not something that can be understood in a moment. Ye Zhen's bloodline and talent were not outstanding, but his comprehension... was indeed astonishing.

"Good! It's a bit rough, but you've entered the door. Think about it more carefully. If you can fully master the imagery of the cold plum breaking through the snow, even a Spirit Induction Realm existence would suffer a loss!"

"Great!"

Ye Zhen was extremely excited!

Fairy Caiyi's words were like opening a window for Ye Zhen.

Imagery!

Sword technique imagery!

By extension, other moves of the Cold Plum Sword Technique, such as the cold plum in the wind, the cold plum welcoming spring, and even the killing move, the cold plum piercing the bone, could be infused with different cold plum imagery, making the Cold Plum Sword Technique...

Ye Zhen was excited by the thought and was about to continue his cultivation and enlightenment when Fairy Caiyi spoke.

"Ye Zhen, practice later. Come with me to see Little Flower Squirrel. A little guy didn't eat any fruit today."

"Alright!"

...

At the peak of Spirit Sword Peak, Fan Chuyu stood on the highest rock, his beard unkempt, his eyes filled with spiritual light, staring intently at the distant Fairy Peak. His clenched fists were trembling.

"Ye Zhen, you bastard, ten days, ten days and you still haven't come out!"

"Ten days, what are you doing on Fairy Peak? If I catch you, I'll definitely get rid of you!"

As he roared in anger, Fan Chuyu's eyebrows trembled with rage!

He pursued Caiyi not only because of his master's instructions and the possible great secret Caiyi possessed but also because he genuinely liked Caiyi.

Fairy Peak was a place he could only enter with permission, let alone stay overnight. Yet, Ye Zhen was staying overnight on Fairy Peak.

Not only staying, but also overnight.

For ten days!

Ten days with no sign of coming out.

Thinking of this, Fan Chuyu was so angry he wanted to go mad.

Since Ye Zhen stayed overnight on Fairy Peak, Fan Chuyu had been standing here. Ye Zhen had stayed on Fairy Peak for ten days, and Fan Chuyu had been standing here, watching for ten days!

"No, a man and a woman staying on the same peak will cause problems! No, I have to find a way to get Ye Zhen out! I must force Ye Zhen out!"

Fan Chuyu's eyes flickered rapidly, and after a moment, they turned fierce.

"Right, I'll do it this way. I don't believe Ye Zhen won't come out!"
