Chapter 139 - Preparing For The Breakthrough
'Blood ginseng'
'Purple heart gandorema'
'Seven leaf Jadite fruit'
Zhan Chen kept harvesting spiritual herbs after reaching near the entrance of the herb mountain. His goal was clear. He harvested every grade four and grade five herbs along the way.
As for why he started from the entrance because he wanted to cover the herb mountain in one fellow swoop. Zhan Chen had discovered a spiritual pond at the western end of the herb mountain. He hurriedly over and his eyes lit up after seeing the herb growing in the middle of the pond.
'With it, there is no problem in increasing my soul strength by a huge margin', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He looked towards the lotus which was growing in the middle of the spiritual pond. The body of the lotus was completely transparent in colour and with it's full bloomed stage, it had a mesmerising aura about it.
'Nirvana water lotus', Zhan Chen looked at the transparent lotus with burning eyes. The biggest gain of this trip was not Golden Yang fruit but rather the Nirvana water lotus which was growing inside the spiritual pond.
In comparison of medicinal potency, the golden Yang fruit was ahead of Nirvana water lotus but it could not beat the Nirvana water lotus in its miraculousness.
The fengshui of herb mountain was arranged upon the harmony pattern of heaven and earth. Heavenly dao was one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all the things in heaven and earth. So, the herb mountain had three extreme corners where three wonderful spirit herbs of heaven and earth were planted.
Unlike the golden Yang fruit, the nature of Nirvana water lotus extremely gentle. So, its essence could be easily stored inside a normal jade container.
Zhan Chen lit up his soul fire and started to refine the Nirvana water lotus. A refreshing aroma wafted in the air as Zhan Chen extracted the first drop of essence liquid from the Nirvana water lotus.
It took almost fifteen minutes for Zhan Chen to completely refine the Nirvana water lotus. His face was slightly pale as he had to push his soulforce to limit for refining the Nirvana water lotus.
Nirvana lotus was a sixth grade medicine. So, it took Zhan Chen's utmost effort to refine it into spiritual liquid. Zhan Chen decided to take a rest first. So, he went over to the side of Kai Min and after cheking upon her, entered meditation.
He opened his eyes after half an hour and felt completely invigorated. He knitted his brows after checking upon the surrounding with his soul consciousness. The battle was at its last leg as the Purple crown lion was almost dead by the attack of cultivators.
Zhan Chen focused his attention on two old men who were attacking the Purple crown lion. With a single push of an old man, a giant palm appeared Infront of the Purple crown lion. The purple crown lion tried to dodge but it still got hit by the palm of the old man.
'Mobilizing the essence energy of heaven and earth, Nirvana stage cultivators!', Zhan Chen exclaimed softly.
"What happened?", Kai Min asked with a worried tone. She was aware that they were in the middle of a herb mountain and a great group of cultivators trying to enter it from the entrance of the herb mountain. So, after seeing the surprised expression of Zhan Chen, she asked him for confirmation.
"No need to worry. Wait a little longer for me. After that we will leave this place", Zhan Chen spoke to Kai Min. Kai Min nodded her head but still a concerned look appeared on her face.
Zhan Chen didn't want to scare her. So, he didn't speak her about the arrival of sixth stage experts. He decided to quickly wrap up the herb harvesting and leave the mountain before the sixth stage experts could catch up.
A peach tree appeared Infront of Zhan Chen when reached the eastern corner of the herb mountain. The peach tree was small as it had the same height as Zhan Chen. The tree had only seven peaches which were dangling from the stalks of the peach tree.
'Purewood green peach', Zhan Chen softly murmured. A grin appeared on his face as he reached his hand towards the green peach dangling from the branches. It was a wonderous fortune for him as he managed to find three extremely rare sixth grade medicines from this trip to the Cleansing Incense ancient sect.
Zhan Chen took another half an hour to wrap up his visit to the herb mountain. By the time he returned to the side of Kai Min, his bag was full of spirit herb and essence liquid from the spirit herbs of the herb mountain.
He even took out all the jade containers Kai Min had brought and filled each of it with essence liquid of spiritual herbs.
"Time to leave the mountain", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min. Kai Min nodded her head and followed back Zhan Chen to the bottom of mountain.
Zhan Chen found a secluded cave for both Kai Min and him. The condition of Kai Min was yet to stabily. Zhan Chen had only managed to drain half of the yin essence stored inside Kai Min's body.
He decided to cleanse her body first and deal with the other issues later. The appearance of sixth stage experts made him uneasy. So, he decided to focus on increasing his cultivation after draining the yin essence out of Kai Min's body.
Spring bloomed once again in the secluded cave as the body of Kai Min and Zhan Chen mingled with eachother. Zhan Chen had no issue with it's security arrangement as his soul consciousness was always covering the entire surrounding. There was also an array formation which stopped the noise from coming outside.
Zhan Chen made Kai Min sat on him as his spear pierced her cave completely. Kai Min cried out with slight pain as the shaft of Zhan Chen almost touched her abdomen.
"Mmmmmm~
Ahhhhhhn~", Kai Min moaned seductively as she tried to move her waist. Her movement was clumsy but with Zhan Chen's help, she gradually became proficient in riding the dragon of Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen let her act as she pleased and pressed her beneath his body after she was too exhausted to ride his dragon. Amidst some soul stirring moans, the dual cultivation proceeded and it stopped only after four hours passed.
Kai Min's body was trembling as her mind was fully occupied with fulfillment and pleasure. Zhan Chen gave a massage to loosen her muscles and looked tenderly at Kai Min.
Kai Min was too shy to look at Zhan Chen. Her body glistening with sweat drops. "Make sure to cultivate after taking some rest. Absorb my Yang essence properly", Zhan Chen spoke to Kai Min.
He left towards a corner after planting a kiss on Kai Min's lips. Zhan Chen sat crosslegged and emptied his mind from other distraction. Then he started to operate the Celestial yin yang sutra.
Kai Min opened her eyes and observed the face of Zhan Chen. God knows what she thought but red blush appeared on her cheeks. She sat up and wiped her thighs with her fingers.
The whitish yang essence of Zhan Chen was overflowing from her cave. Kai Min wiped her fingers clean with her lips and sat crosslegged to cultivate. She had already learned how precious Zhan Chen's Yang energy. So, she didn't want to waist any and channeled the Yin nourishing technique which Zhan Chen had taught to all of his women.
