Time quickly arrived in the evening.
Although everyone was still recovering from their injuries, it did not affect their upcoming actions. Therefore, the group continued to travel for thousands of miles in the icy and snowy conditions.
It is quite strange, the Buddhist light and demonic energy have been rolling in the northern sky for over a month without stopping.
Chen Yun and Wu Kejiu, and others, are curious about this incident. Many people speculate whether the two monks of Buddhism and the big saint of the demon race have discovered some incredible treasure that causes them to fight for more than a month without stopping.
The group was eating dried food.
Wu Kejiu suddenly said: "Among the physical body of the white wolf spirit beast that appeared during the day, the most precious ones are the canines, wolf stomach, and wolf fat. Wolf meat and wolf bones are also good. Eating wolf meat can enhance one's cultivation, and making magical artifacts from wolf bones."
Everyone knew that Wu Kejiu was going to distribute the items, and they all took it seriously.
Hearing the words "wolf stomach," Chen Yun couldn't help but be moved in his heart, recalling the crystal wolf stomach he had obtained from slaying a wolf spirit back then. The function of that wolf stomach was "Super Digestion." He had used it to refine the Xuyu herb at that time, thereby advancing his cultivation by a great deal.
This time, the crystal wolf stomach obtained was jade-like in appearance, or more specifically, resembled transparent fish gelatin.
He was pondering whether this white wolf's stomach also possessed the "Super Digestion" function. If so, perhaps he could use it to refine the essence of the water adder's blood, thereby achieving a rapid increase in his cultivation.
"According to the degree of preciousness, the fangs are the first, followed by the wolf stomach. The spiritual qi contained in the wolf fat is quite rich, ranking third," Wu Kejiu said slowly: "Although Mr. White Wolf Kangedu exerted the most effort in combat, he obtained a treasure and during that time we were attacked by that old demon teacher. It was Mr. Chen's ingenuity that allowed us to turn things around, so I'd like to give Mr. Chen the most precious fangs as compensation. What do you think?"
"No objections."
"Mr. Chen has indeed put in the most effort."
Kang Yuan and Long Nu Sanjiu and others all agreed.
Even Kang Yuan expressed that since he had already obtained a treasure, he shouldn't take anything else.
Everyone was very courteous, creating a very good team atmosphere.
Chen Yun looked at everyone, smiling and said, "I have already obtained the fangs of the water adder. How about we keep the white wolf's fangs for all of you?"
Wu Kejiu, being a wise man, knew immediately that Chen Yun had no interest in the fangs and said proactively, "Mr. Chen's generosity is truly impressive. However, you have put in the most effort this time. It wouldn't be right for you to take nothing. So, since you don't want the fangs, what about the wolf stomach?"
Chen Yun said, "Okay."
Hearing that Chen Yun wanted the wolf stomach, Wu Kejiu immediately had the pieces of wolf stomach, cut into small blocks, passed up.
Although the wolf stomach had been cut into small pieces, the total amount was substantial. Chen Yun took the container containing the wolf stomach, and a heavy feeling came over him, estimating it to be around a hundred catties.
Later, Wu Kejiu also distributed the remaining parts of the white wolf to everyone.
As the second person who put in the most effort this time, Wu Kejiu naturally received four fangs as his share.
Zhang Ling drew the attention of Mei Lin, and excluding Kang Yuan, she was the third most contributory person. Therefore, she received the wolf fat.
There were also other things left that were shared among everyone equally.
Shortly after, the distribution of items was completed.
Everyone seemed very happy and then went about their respective tasks.
As always, Chen Yun kept the front night, during which he and Qin Ming separately led a team to patrol around, and only after the change of shifts at noon did he return to the vicinity of the camp. He then waited for the effect of the elixir that transformed spiritual energy to appear while taking out the wolf stomach to steam cook it.
As for the essence blood of the water adder, he had soaked it in wine before. To eat it, just heat it to a warm temperature.
......
Close to the camp near the Frozen Lake.
Chen Yun, taking advantage of the free time, checked the things stored in his magic staff again. During this time, there were many things he didn't recognize and asked the "Spirit of the Object" for help.
He quickly clarified the remaining items.
For example, something that looks like a cannon is called "Magic Crystal Cannon." As long as multiple pieces of magic crystal are loaded into it, this "Magic Crystal Cannon" can emit a beam of destructive energy.
The remaining seven or eight magic devices were not as powerful, and Chen Yun didn't pay much attention to them as he didn't want them.
Additionally, there were quite a few celestial and earth herbs, many of which could be taken directly to enhance cultivation.
As for the bottles and jars, most of them were magical potions. These magical potions could either enhance one's explosive power or heal wounds. However, most of them were useless to Chen Yun.
However, he surprisingly found a bottle of "Water of Life" among them.
The "Water of Life" has a similar effect to the Immortal Crane Grass but is even more powerful. Regardless of how serious a person's injuries are, drinking the Water of Life can restore them within a short period of time.
Of course, the effect of "Water of Life" is far more than just this.
According to the "Spirit of the Object," "Water of Life" can not only heal any injury to plants or animals, even ones that are irreversible, such as "regrowing a severed limb," but also, by simply adding a single drop that dissolves in clean water, it can be used to cultivate most celestial and earth herbs to grow.
This made Chen Yun's heart stir. There was a medicinal garden in the Taoist temple, from which most of the herbs needed for his elixirs were harvested.
He secretly pondered, whether he could also create a medicinal garden in Qingcheng Mountain, cultivating various celestial and earth herbs.
As for the seeds of celestial and earth herbs, they were currently not needed. He had obtained many celestial and earth herbs in the day moon cave, some of which could be directly planted.
"Let's discuss it when we return to Qingcheng Mountain."
Chen Yun has already prepared to create a medicinal garden.
The last item was the remaining books, which were mostly magical knowledge.
These were not of interest to Chen Yun, but there was one book that he couldn't figure out what it was.
The "Spirit of the Object" said that it didn't recognize the writing on the book.
Just then, the effect of the elixir that transformed spiritual energy was born, and Chen Yun also raised some doubts, so Mei Lin glossed over it.
"Let's see if I can break through to the level of a Fourth-Rank Magician today."
Chen Yun had been on the brink of becoming a Fourth-Rank Magician before, and he felt that tonight might be his chance, so he became exceptionally serious.
True qi is transforming and generating within his body.
At the same time, a portion of the true qi is continuously tempering his physical body.
Chen Yun sat cross-legged over there and felt as if he was practicing cultivation.
One small cycle of qi.
Three small cycles of qi.
Soon, the time of the small hours passed.
The medicinal power within Chen Yun's body circulated nine small cycles of qi as usual.
After the medicinal power slowly dissipated, he didn't rush to open his eyes but instead "internalized" his body.
Chen Yun "saw" that the true qi in his lower dantian was becoming increasingly "thick."
If breaking through from an Inferior Magician to a Middle Magician, seen from the perspective of "internalization," the true qi would transform from gas into liquid akin to clear water. Now, he "saw" his true qi changing from clear water towards a porridge-like consistency.
This is only from the perspective of internal vision; in reality, true qi is intangible and formless.
"If my true qi merges with essence, spirit, and breath to cultivate a Saint's Foetus, will it appear as 'solid' in internal vision? Just like the 'stone essence golden pill' depicted in the text."
Chen Yun didn't know what the real Golden Pill looked like, so he was just sitting there speculating.
However, it can be confirmed that the Golden Pill, as a treasure that integrates qi, essence, and spirit, is also intangible and formless like true qi.
The perspective of internal vision is just the image sensed by one's "soul," similar to how a computer depicts the shape of particles. The particles themselves do not have a shape, but the computer can depict it because it aims to better distinguish different particles.
The same goes for the "soul" sensing the appearance of true qi.
Chen Yun slowly opened his eyes and looked at the pitch-black sky, "Let's see if my cultivation has reached Fourth-Rank Magician."
Since Fourth-Rank Magician still falls under the category of Middle Magicians, he couldn't sense it like when he broke through from an Inferior Magician to a Middle Magician, and only by using the "Observation of Qi Technique" could he know if he had broken through or not.
Chen Yun activated the Observation of Qi Technique to examine the purity of his true qi.
Suddenly, he saw that his true qi was "full of fire," almost illuminating a radius of a few miles.
"Wow, I really am a Fourth-Rank Magician!"
Chen Yun felt a surge of surprise in his heart. He had been on the brink of becoming a Fourth-Rank Magician before and had an intuition that he would break through within these two days. Today, after the elixir's effect on refining essence into qi ended and he checked, he really had broken through!
"With the elixir that transforms spiritual energy, it's great. I had been stuck at the level of Fifth-Rank Magician for three years with no progress. Now, after taking the elixir for about a month, I have broken through to Fourth-Rank Magician. It's truly that one needs help in cultivation."
He couldn't help but feel a silent reflection.
