Chapter 66: Unexpected Harvest

  Ye Xuan's body surged in strength after consuming the Iron Bone Demon Fruit, but he was struck by Gong Liang's palm and his internal organs were severely shaken, causing him intense pain. Before he could even react, he fell into the water with a splash.

  He only felt his body thud onto the ground with a "bang", and when he opened his eyes to look around, he was shocked.

  All around was bright, in front of me was an old desk with a teapot and a tea cup on it. On the wall behind the desk hung a painting, which depicted an old man in white robes standing at the top of a mountain, looking up at the stars with his hands clasped behind his back. And the mountain under his feet was surprisingly green.

  "Where have I come to?" Ye Xuan muttered to himself, and as he thought about it, he suddenly realized that he had fallen into the water earlier and then fell in. Is this under the water? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

  "Huh? This house seems to have a very dense spiritual energy!"

  Ye Xuan suddenly discovered that this house actually had a large amount of spiritual energy, and the density was in no way inferior to that compressed fog. Suddenly excited, he didn't expect that after being hit by a palm, not only did he not die, but he also discovered this secret.

  Ye Xuan immediately sat down cross-legged, activated the Tathagata's Mysterious Technique, and a large amount of spiritual energy began to be absorbed into his dantian. After transformation, it entered the Dantian Palace. The spiritual body in the Dantian Palace started to tremble, like a beggar who was extremely hungry, suddenly seeing a table full of sumptuous food in front of him, and became excited.

  The red color of the spiritual body began to deepen gradually, and the body also started to become scorching hot. Finally, even the dantian palace inside began to feel scorching hot, as if one had inhaled a large amount of spiritual energy just to make the dantian palace burn.

  "Hun Dun Lao, I feel so strange! I think my lower abdomen is about to catch fire! Am I going crazy from excessive Qi?" Ye Xuan asked worriedly.

  "Unexpectedly, the old man of Chaos asked strangely: 'How, do you feel that your dantian palace is about to catch fire?'"

  "Right, this won't burn out my brain all at once, will it?"

  "Are you serious?"

  "Really!"

  "My god, you...!" The old man of the Chaotic Soul was shocked, slapping his thigh and staring at Ye Xuan with a stunned expression, stuttering as he spoke.

  "What's going on? Can you speak up?" Ye Xuan urged, his eyes wide with anxiety, and, oh, he seemed to be blowing air through his non-existent mustache.

  "You're going to break through!" The chaotic old man laughed cruelly.

  Ye Xuan is so annoying. I bought a watch last year, and you said that old man was at least 180 years old, just teasing me.

  Hun Dun Lao looked at Ye Xuan's gloomy and puzzled expression, explaining: "This is the downside of being a crafting master. Every time you break through to the next level, you have to endure the pain of burning your brain, which means that the spiritual body in your dantian palace can only be upgraded after undergoing combustion and refinement."

  As soon as Hun Dun Lao finished speaking, Ye Xuan felt the so-called brain-burning pain. With the influx of spiritual energy, a sea of fire suddenly rose from the feet of the red body in his dantian palace, and the flames gradually climbed up, eventually covering the entire red body.

  As the flames engulfed him, a pungent headache spread from his lower abdomen.

  "Hurry up and absorb more spiritual energy, let the fire burn fiercely!" A faint voice floated in from the chaotic darkness.

  Ye Xuan's face was filled with dark lines, this old guy really knew how to rejoice in others' misfortune. One day I'll pull you out of my soul and thrash you! However, he knew that only intense burning could accelerate the speed of breakthrough. The spiritual energy of the small hut began to surge towards Ye Xuan.

  Ye Xuan finally felt his mind aching, the pain slowly rising to its limit, and suddenly his brain was filled with a loud buzzing noise. After the buzzing noise passed, the pain instantly disappeared.

  In the Dantian Palace, a slender and ethereal orange body stood tall, with eyes that shone brightly. Ye Xuan saw a faint orange gas floating around the body, and a feeling of wild joy arose spontaneously - this was the Orange Body! A Second-Order Cultivator!

  At this time, Ye Xuan felt that his perception had increased greatly compared to before. A surge of spiritual energy burst out, and he actually felt as if his body was floating lightly, as if he were about to fly up into the air.

  "What a wonderful feeling!" Ye Xuan exclaimed excitedly, his nose twitching upwards.

  "What's this? Let me tell you, do you know the specialty of a second-rate craftsman?"

  Ye Xuan shook his head and asked me, "Don't you know I'm a blank sheet of paper?"

  "Spiritual Force Materialization! Simply put, you can materialize your spiritual fire into a form, such as transforming into an illusory phoenix or a small bird! By the time you reach the third-tier artifact master, these materialized forms of yours will have sufficient perception to conduct reconnaissance! Later on, when your strength increases, you can even launch attacks!"

  "Wow, this is awesome!" Ye Xuan excitedly jumped three feet high.

  "Don't be so excited, you need to cultivate your spiritual awareness, and use a strong spirit to support it. Spirit is such a rare thing!" The Chaos Old Man couldn't help but sneer, the spirit was very powerful, but not as abundant as the mysterious energy.

  "Old thing, you just watch out, I Ye Xuan is from another... that, hurry up, I'm going to open up my spiritual vein now!" Ye Xuan's eyes rolled around, coughed once, and almost blurted out his father's secret.

  "With such a small amount of spiritual energy, I can only cultivate the mysterious air to become stronger first!" Ye Xuan muttered to himself, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the teapot and tea cup on the only table in the room.

  Ye Xuan stood up, picked up the teacup, and found it heavy. He exclaimed in surprise that there was still tea water inside! So he stretched out his hand to open the lid of the teapot, and suddenly a strong fragrance burst out!

  "What the heck is this? It smells even better than perfume!" Ye Xuan was shocked.

  In Soul's Heart, Hun Dun suddenly jumped up and shouted when he saw the teacup in Ye Xuan's hand: "Quick, quick! Give it to me!"

  Ye Xuan gave him a puzzled look, what's with this old thing being so excited? Is this also something good? Just as he was thinking about it, the teapot and cup in Ye Xuan's hand disappeared. When he looked again, he only saw Hun Dun Lao, his face flushed with excitement, holding the teapot in his left hand and the cup in his right hand.

  Then he threw his head back and laughed loudly, shouting: "Heaven is helping me!"

  "Hey! Old thing, how can your Soul Heart accommodate things?" Ye Xuan's eyes widened in shock, wondering how the teapot and tea cup had ended up with him. This was Hun Dun Lao who didn't care about him at all, instead focusing on himself within his Soul Power, holding the teapot and tea cup, and laughing loudly.

  "My god, Ye Xuan's face is black as coal, the old man won't have a stroke, will he? How did it end up like this? You haven't even taught me how to open the spiritual meridian yet, don't drop the chain at this time!"
