C12 Nine Soul Dragon Seal

In the early morning, the gentle light of the morning sun was shining through the horizon.

In the middle of the wide courtyard was a piece of small, empty training ground. This was where Chu Hen would usually train.

At that moment, on top of a Stone Table on the training ground, Chu Hen was seated cross-legged.

Chu Hen closed his eyes and remained motionless like a boulder.

In his left hand, there was a fist-sized crystal stone. Within the crystal, there was a flashing silver light.

An unending stream of spirit power was extracted from the crystal and channeled into Chu Hen's body.

This is a piece of Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stone.

It contained energy that could be absorbed by the human body. This energy could be transformed into Strength of True Essence and then increased a warrior's cultivation.

Fighters have all sorts of training methods.

The more traditional method was to absorb the energy from the Spiritual Strength of Heaven and Earth and Elemental Crystal Stone. Relatively speaking, the Elemental Crystal Stone's usage could be said to be faster and more effective, and at the same time, the value of the Elemental Crystal Stone was also can be seen.

Even if it was Chu Hen, he was only able to receive two Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stone from the General's Mansion every month.

"Buzz buzz!"

With the infusion of the Elemental Crystal Stone's power, the Strength of True Essence in Chu Hen's body became restless and uneasy.

"Crack!"

Abruptly, the Elemental Crystal Stone in Chu Hen's palm cracked open a few times, and the bright luster also dimmed down.

The spirit energy that had pervaded the area quickly withdrew back into Chu Hen's body, and his eyes opened as well. He slowly let out a mouthful of impure air before lowering his head and speechlessly looking at the cracked Elemental Crystal Stone in his left hand.

"In less than a night, he had used up a piece of Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stone. It was rather fast for the Holy Body of Demon Eye and the Body of Chaos to be refined."

According to his usual budget, the energy contained within a piece of Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stone was enough for Chu Hen to absorb for around five to six days.

Now, however, the energy even could run out within one night, and the difference in the speed between the former and the later was nearly ten times.

Of course, the energy and spirit energy contained within the Elemental Crystal Stone did not waste the slightest bit and had already completely integrated into his body. This was also why the two kinds of Strength of Blood Lineage Boundary were so shocked.

"Perhaps I need to think of a way to get more Elemental Crystal Stone in the future."

Chu Hen muttered to himself. If he wanted to increase the speed of his cultivation, the Elemental Crystal Stones were essential materials.

"Crack!"

Chu Hen slightly exerted more strength into his palm, and the impurities of Elemental Crystal Stone in his hand shattered into a pile of dregs.

Just then, a set of steady footsteps pulled Chu Hen's attention back to reality.

"Uncle Zhan!" Seeing Long Zhan walking in from the courtyard entrance, Chu Hen raised his eyebrows, and stood up to welcome him.

Long Zhan's face revealed a gentle smile, "Hener, how is your recovery going?"

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Zhan. After a night of rest, I am fine now."

"That's good!"

They talked to each other, sitting down at a stone table on the west side of the courtyard.

"Uncle Zhan must be here to ask me what happened in the past three months?" Chu Hen took the lead and said.

Long Zhan laughed, as if he was giving tacit consent to that.

Chu Hen did not hesitate and answered, "That day, after I was framed by Liu Xiao and the others, I was saved by a senior expert. Not only did that expert help me reconnect my shattered meridians, he also gave me a lot of advice on martial arts."

"However," Chu Hen's voice paused for a moment, his eyes looked straight at Long Zhan, and said, "That senior said before, I was not allowed to tell anything regarding him to anyone."

After a very simple summary, Chu Hen roughly described his encounters during the past three months.

Li Wushang had clearly hinted to Chu Hen that the secrets of him and the Holy Body of Demon Eye must not be leaked.

Although Long Zhan and Chu Hen was the same kind of father and son, Chu Hen felt that it was not the right time to tell Long Zhan the matter of him awakening the Holy Body of Demon Eye.

"So that's how it is. It seems like that Senior Expert did not want to fight against the world and is therefore unwilling to reveal his information. This is Heaven's will, Hener, your life shouldn't end there. "

Long Zhan didn't have any doubts, he only had some admiration.

After all, with Chu Hen's situation at that time, if he did not have the help of an expert, he would still be lying on the bed and would not be able to get up. It was even impossible for him to defeat Liu Xiao and take revenge for the past.

Chu Hen said apologetically, "Uncle Zhan, I've troubled you these past three months."

Long Zhan lightly patted the back of his hand, shook his head, and said, "You grew up in General's Mansion, I have long treated you as a third child. You were in such a big trouble, if even I didn't help you out, who would?"

Chu Hen's heart warmed, his clear eyes revealed sincerity and gratitude.

Soon after, Long Zhan took out a small grey cloth bag and a book.

"Hener, keep the twenty Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones and your grandfather's strongest Martial Arts, The Nine Souls Dragon Seal Spell."

What?

Chu Hen could not help but be taken aback. Twenty Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stone?

He usually could only receive two Middle-Grade Elemental Crystal Stones a month, and these had almost reached the amount for a year.

And this Nine Souls Dragon Seal Spell was a Martial Arts at the "Core-Transforming Stage level". With Chu Hen's current qualifications, he did not have the qualifications to obtain it.

The difference in level of Martial Arts corresponded to th realms of cultivators.

Of course, not having the right to obtain it and not having the right to train were two different concepts.

Chu Hen who had Vein Opening Stage could cultivate a high level Martial Arts. However, in the process of using it, he would not be able to unleash the strongest destructive power of it because of his lack of Strength of True Essence and the strength of power.

Simply put, with Chu Hen's current strength, he could casually use any Martial Arts of the 'Vein Opening Stage' level. Not only would he be able to unleash the strongest destructive power of the Martial Arts, but also he could avoid the True Elemental Strength being completely consumed.

It was the same principle. For a cultivator with Essence Mastering Stage, releasing the Martial Arts which was at the 'Essence Mastering Stage rank' would not be a problem.

However, if a practitioner of the Vein Opening Stage were to use the Martial Arts of the Essence Mastering Stage Realm, the consumption of the Strength of True Essence would be far greater than that of the Martial Arts in the Vein Opening Stage Realm.

Only if one's cultivation realm corresponded to his level of the Martial Arts, would the lethality of the Martial Arts be able to be unleashed one hundred percent.

Even though the Martial Arts of the Essence Mastering Stage level only reached twenty to thirty percent of its full strength, it was enough to surpass the lethality brought by the Martial Arts of the Vein Opening Stage level.

Moreover, there was another great benefit for low realm practitioners in cultivating high level Martial Arts -- they could speed up the growth of their Cultivation.

This was like having a ten-year old child undergo the training strength for the age of thirteen.

In the early stages, although the difficulty was great, in time, this ten-year old child would definitely grow faster than other ordinary children of the same age.

And The Nine Souls Dragon Seal Spell was about the combat skill that was at least at the Core-Transforming Stage.

With Chu Hen's current realm, he would definitely not be able to unleash this set of Martial Arts. The only good thing about it was that it could enhance the quality of Chu Hen's cultivation and speed up the improvement in his strength.

This was also an advantage that could not be ignored.

"Hener, among the ranks of the Core-Transforming Stage, The Nine Souls Dragon Seal Spell is definitely considered to be a kind of high-level Martial Arts. From now on, you can increase your speed of breakthrough. Once you step into Essence Mastering Stage, you should be able to display the first Dragon Seal after practicing diligently. "

Long Zhan said seriously and sincerely.

"But Uncle Zhan, according to the rules of the General's Mansion, only the members of young generation who have reached the Essence Mastering Stage are qualified to train in this Martial Arts, right?" Chu Hen asked, puzzled.

Long Zhan had always attached great importance to the rules of General's Mansion, and not everyone could read The Nine Souls Dragon Seal Spell. Even if it was a member of the younger generation who had reached the standard, they would only be able to cultivate the first half of the spell. In the future, when he reached a higher level, he could continue to train in the latter half.

Obviously, The Nine Souls Dragon Seal Spell in front of Chu Hen was complete.

Long Zhan laughed and shook his head, "Rules are firm, but people are flexible. Hener, after yesterday's chaos, you probably won't be able to enter the Difeng Martial Mansion. So, I plan to allow you, like your big brother and Second Elder Sister, to go to the Imperial Capital to participate in other assessment for freshmen of the High-Class Martial Mansion."

Hearing that, Chu Hen immediately understood Long Zhan's intentions.

With Chu Hen's current strength, entering a good Martial Mansion was not difficult at all. However, in order to ensure that everything went smoothly, the usually strict Long Zhan had broken the rules he had set at the beginning.

Chu Hen was deeply moved in his heart.

Actually, it was not very important for him to get The Nine Souls Dragon Seal Spell or not. After all, in The Jade Slip that Li Wushang had gifted him before, there were nearly a hundred Martial Arts.

But Chu Hen did not want to disappoint Long Zhan, and immediately accepted the things in front of him.

"Uncle Zhan, I won't let you down."

When he received the sincere emotion in Chu Hen's eyes, Uncle Zhan took a deep breath in and gave her an encouraging gaze, "I believe that one day, you will definitely surpass your big brother and Second Elder Sister."

Chu Hen laughed, a faint look of anticipation flowing out from his eyes.

"Patriarch!"

Suddenly, a slightly anxious voice sounded out.

Accompanied by hurried footsteps, a guard from the General's Mansion appeared in the courtyard.

"What's the matter?" Long Zhan asked.

"Patriarch, Mentor Li Gu from Difeng Martial Mansion has come to pay a visit."

"Oh?" Long Zhan was surprised, he looked at Chu Hen and asked: "Difeng Martial Mansion? What are they doing here? "

"I don't know. They only said they wanted to see you and the Young Master Chu Hen."
