Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate

Chapter 19: Breakthrough, Late-Stage Spiritual Awakening!

As the pill entered his mouth, it dissolved instantly, permeating his internal organs, dantian, and meridians.

The immense medicinal power transformed into Yuan Power, merging with the pure white vortex at the dantian's core.

Those who have achieved the Spiritual Awakening Realm possess liquid Yuan Power.

To advance to the Mysterious Platform Realm, one must condense the vortex into a solid state; this solid-state Yuan Power vortex signifies the Mysterious Platform.

Upon attaining the Mysterious Platform,

The cultivator's Yuan Power reserves, physical strength, and soul strength will all experience significant enhancements!

A single Mysterious Platform expert can triumph over ten Spiritual Awakening Realm experts single-handedly!

Time passed gradually.

In the blink of an eye, a week had elapsed.

The door to the quiet chamber creaked open.

Jiang Chen's figure emerged, the sunlight illuminating his handsome visage, rendering him even more radiant, akin to jade.

A week of diligent cultivation.

The combined effects of four Clearing Mind Awakening Spirit Pills and the medicinal power of the Ten-Turn Harmonious Spirit Pill allowed him to successfully advance to the Late-stage Spiritual Awakening Realm!

And now,

The liquid cyclone within Jiang Chen's dantian had further condensed, appearing semi-solid in his inner vision.

Once the cyclone solidifies completely, it will mark his ascent to the Mysterious Platform Realm!

During this cultivation period,

Jiang Chen occasionally exited the quiet chamber, using his Spirit Condensation Bianstone Jade to meticulously investigate the Vast Spirit Residence.

Fortunately, everything remained under control, with no unforeseen changes.

"Mm."

"Oh, dawn has arrived."

"Let's see what Ning Xian and the others are up to within the Vast Spirit Residence."

Jiang Chen arrived in the courtyard, glancing up at the partially illuminated sky before activating his Spirit Condensation Bianstone Jade.

Instantly,

A wave of divine sense expanded outward, encompassing the Vast Spirit Residence.

"My divine sense has increased its range by dozens of meters in the Late-stage Spiritual Awakening Realm. Fantastic!"

Experiencing his even more potent divine sense and reveling in the enhanced clarity, Jiang Chen smiled contentedly.

At that moment,

His divine sense stealthily penetrated the protective formation of a room, revealing a scene of lingering mist in the air.

Immediately, a large bathtub came into view.

A beautiful young girl lay half-submerged in the water, her hair splayed across the surface, while shimmering reflections of sunlight danced on the water, concealing everything below her jade neck.

Her eyes were closed as she breathed in the warm air slowly, evidently fast asleep.

"Bathing until dawn?"Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

"It seems she's been exhausted these days."

Jiang Chen's lips curled into a smile as he unabashedly admired the scene of the beautiful woman bathing.

Ning Xian was the heroine he was determined to win over, and he fully intended to shoulder his responsibilities in the future...

Not long after,

Ning Xian awoke.

Jiang Chen was fortunate enough to once again witness a scene akin to a painting of a beauty bathing.

At that moment,

A message arrived on Jiang Chen's transmission jade token; it was from Elder Ge.

"There's activity?"

Jiang Chen's eyebrows raised slightly.

Under his orders, the Jiang Clan's cultivators had been closely monitoring developments and upcoming events within Autumn Glory City.

Retrieving the transmission jade token, Jiang Chen infused it with his divine sense.

"Eldest Young Master!"

"The White Mountain Chamber of Commerce has appeared in Autumn Glory City."

"They were initially supposed to head to Clear Water City, but their plans have changed for some reason."

"Traditionally, the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce collaborates with our Jiang Clan, the Zhou Clan, and other powers to host a large-scale trading event in Autumn Glory City."

"..."

This was the message conveyed by the transmission jade token.

"White Mountain Chamber of Commerce?"

"That's the chamber of commerce specializing in trading medicinal pills and spiritual plants, conducting transactions as they travel,"

Jiang Chen's lips curled into a slight smile, as he instantly deduced, without hesitation, that the arrival of this Chamber of Commerce was likely the next plot development for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng, however, is suspected of possessing a 'Medicinal Spirit Body'.

Even if it isn't explicitly stated, his path still seems to involve spiritual medicine, at least in the early stages.

It appears highly probable that the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce, with its focus on selling elixirs and spiritual plants, has some connection to Lin Feng.

"The White Mountain Chamber of Commerce has arrived in Autumn Glory City."

"Next, Autumn Glory City will be bustling with activity."

"Since Lin Feng requires spiritual plants, he is likely to take a stroll and check out their selection."

"I also have the opportunity to 'accidentally encounter' him, attempt to diminish his Heavenly Fate Value, and gain Villain Value!"

Jiang Chen's mouth curled into a grin as he stowed the transmission jade token.

Shortly after,

He once again employed his divine sense to probe into Lin Feng's room.

The young man was sitting cross-legged on the bed, diligently cultivating.

Surprisingly, he had already recovered to his previous peak state, at the Middle-stage Soul Refining Realm.

His speed of recovery was undeniably swift.

Within the room,

Sensing that his cultivation time was nearly complete,

Lin Feng gradually halted his cultivation, opened his eyes, and a fleeting emerald-green light flashed within them.

Not only had he restored his cultivation to the Middle-stage Soul Refining Realm, but he had also successfully transitioned to the main cultivation technique found in the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records.

This primary cultivation technique would be sufficient to enable him to cultivate to the Inquiring Journey Realm.

"Middle-stage Soul Refining Realm!"

"It's a shame that I didn't seize the opportunity to act when Jiang Yuqian was ill earlier. Otherwise, I would have surpassed my current level. Curse you, Jiang Chen!"

"However, now that I have some self-defense capabilities in Autumn Glory City, I can venture outside and search for spiritual herbs."

"I wonder if that guy Jiang Chen has already helped Master restore the supply channel for spiritual herbs."

"If it has been restored, then that's even better."

As Lin Feng acquainted himself with his newfound power, he pondered.

Knock, knock, knock!

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound at the door.

"Feng'er!"

Immediately, Qu Liaoxi's voice echoed from outside.

"Master?"

Lin Feng's face shifted slightly, and he promptly opened the door.

"Feng'er!"

"You, you've broken through to the Middle-stage Soul Refining Realm?!"

Sensing the fluctuations in Lin Feng's cultivation emanating from his body, Qu Liaoxi's face was filled with astonishment.

"Hahaha."

"It's merely been restored, that's all."

Lin Feng said modestly, but a hint of pride still glimmered in his eyes.

"That's wonderful!"

Qu Liaoxi nodded excitedly, "You must not slack off; you need to continue to work hard!"

"Yes, Master!"

Lin Feng smiled and then inquired about something that concerned him, "By the way, has the supply of spiritual herbs to Vast Spirit Residence been restored?"

"Not yet."

"Young Master Jiang Chen is already assisting with it."

"However, since we've changed to an inn, those suppliers who used to provide us with spiritual herbs have already promised their shares to others."

"They are also businessmen, and it wouldn't be right for them to break their promises, so we still have to wait for a while."

"Moreover, the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce has come to Autumn Glory City, and the spiritual herbs in Autumn Glory City will certainly converge at the trade fair organized by the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce in the coming days."

Qu Liaoxi shook her head with a touch of regret, "In that case, we will have to wait even longer."

"The White Mountain Chamber of Commerce?"

Lin Feng appeared puzzled.

He grew up in the Starry Abyss Sect and had few opportunities to leave the mountain, so he didn't have much knowledge of foreign chambers of commerce like the White Mountain.

"The White Mountain Chamber of Commerce is an external chamber of commerce!"

"They specialize in spiritual plants and also deal in pills. They offer all sorts of rare pills and spiritual plants."

"They travel to different cities of cultivators to buy and sell spiritual plants and pills."

"In my opinion, this is also a great opportunity for you to search for spiritual herbs,"

"And I still have a considerable amount of savings here. As long as it is something you need, I will help you buy it!"

Qiu Liaoxi said with a smile.

'The chamber of commerce from another place that sells spiritual plant pills?'

'Looks like the perfect opportunity has come knocking on my door!'

'Although almost all spiritual medicines can help the Burning World Red Lotus recover, the stronger the fire attribute of the spiritual medicine, the better the effect!'

'The White Mountain Chamber of Commerce travels through the cities of various cultivators and must have collected fire attribute spiritual medicines from different places, with the number and variety exceeding those in Autumn Glory City.'

'This time, we must obtain a large amount of fire attribute spiritual plants. The better the Burning World Red Lotus recovers, the faster my cultivation speed will be!'

Lin Feng's heart swelled with joy, and a smile appeared on his face as he bowed to Qiu Liaoxi and said, "Many thanks, Master!"

...

In a courtyard not far away,

Jiang Chen witnessed everything that transpired in the Vast Spirit Residence.
