Chapter 1038: Chen Ping's Advancement
Chapter 1038: Chen Ping's Advancement
September 25th, 2017
Lu Hai Kong had specifically instructed that he be informed when Chen Ping was about to make a breakthrough.
After all, Chen Ping was currently the foremost Daoist, or rather, the top practitioner of the mystical arts, under Lu Hai Kong's command. Having witnessed the formidable abilities of Zhang Jiao and that mysterious Daoist, Lu Hai Kong held Chen Ping's advancement in high regard.
It was for this very reason that upon hearing Chen Ping's preparation for his breakthrough, Lu Hai Kong immediately halted his journey to Kunlun City and headed straight to the Herb Garden with Princess San.
Ever since Chen Ping stepped down as Lu Hai Kong's secretary, he had dedicated himself to breaking through the 90th level. He chose the Herb Garden as his cultivation site, as it was the most suitable place for his wood-attribute cultivation within Lu Hai Kong's territory. Naturally, it was also the ideal location for his breakthrough.
By the time Lu Hai Kong arrived, Chen Ping had almost completed his preparations.
To be honest, if it weren't for waiting for Lu Hai Kong to witness the occasion, Chen Ping could have already started his breakthrough.
In less than half an hour, Lu Hai Kong and Princess San reached the Herb Garden.
"Alright, it's not a formal occasion, no need for excessive courtesy," Lu Hai Kong waved his hand, stopping Chen Ping and Hua Tuo, who was nearby, from bowing to him. He then fixed his gaze upon Chen Ping, his eyes gleaming with a peculiar light.
It was unclear whether this was due to Chen Ping's imminent breakthrough to level 90 or the fact that he had relinquished his previous duties, but at that moment, Chen Ping exuded a carefree and detached aura.
Although it was not as ethereal as Zhang Yan's near-immortal aura, Chen Ping still possessed a free and unfettered quality.
After observing Chen Ping for a while, Lu Hai Kong withdrew his gaze, saying, "Alright, don't mind me. Pretend I'm not here, and begin your breakthrough!"
"Yes!"
After a quick bow, Chen Ping exchanged a glance with Hua Tuo, who was beside him. He then picked up the Divine Wood Essence that Lu Hai Kong had given him not long ago and strode to the center of the herb field, where he sat down in a meditative posture.
Interestingly, the herb field where Chen Ping sat was not an ordinary one devoid of medicinal plants. Instead, it was a meticulously cultivated field, obviously tended to by Hua Tuo himself.
The herb field spanned about one acre, defying biology with its dense and diverse array of medicinal plants.
Each and every one of them was an extremely precious herb!
Witnessing this sight, Lu Hai Kong couldn't help but smile and remark to Hua Tuo, "Old Master Physician, you're quite bold, allowing him to break through in your precious herb field. Aren't you worried about any harm coming to these treasures?"
Hua Tuo smiled at Lu Hai Kong's jest and gazed at Chen Ping with a mixture of laughter and anticipation in his eyes. After a brief pause, he replied, "In a while, this old man might even have to thank Mr. Chen!"
Seeing Hua Tuo's mysterious and confident demeanor, Lu Hai Kong was momentarily taken aback. He realized that the old physician must have some insight into the situation.
Just then, Chen Ping's breakthrough officially commenced, so Lu Hai Kong decided against prying further. Instead, he focused his attention on Chen Ping, observing him intently.
Lu Hai Kong had always been fascinated by the cultivation system of Daoists, or mystical arts practitioners. This interest intensified after witnessing the prowess of Zhang Jiao and the mysterious Daoist.
Lu Hai Kong's insistence on witnessing Chen Ping's breakthrough stemmed from two reasons. Firstly, he highly valued Chen Ping, and secondly, he wanted to gain a deeper understanding of the power of Daoists.
To comprehend someone or a cultivation system, the most direct approach is to cultivate that system oneself. However, Lu Hai Kong's aptitude for mystical arts was not exceptional, and his internal energy possessed a strong exclusivity, making it impossible for him to achieve this.
As a result, Lu Hai Kong could only settle for the next best option—observing their breakthroughs.
Ordinary people might not glean much insight into the Daoist profession or its cultivation system from Chen Ping's breakthrough, but Lu Hai Kong was different. He possessed the Celestial Insight technique.
With this powerful tool, even if Lu Hai Kong couldn't fully grasp the core essence of Daoist arts during Chen Ping's breakthrough, he would still gain a certain level of understanding of their power.
As Chen Ping officially began his breakthrough, Lu Hai Kong's eyes began to emit a faint golden glow.
This was the result of Lu Hai Kong infusing his internal energy into his eyes, activating the Celestial Insight technique.
Lu Hai Kong was in a semi-activated state, and his vision entered a realm of energy. Once again, he found himself immersed in a fantastical energy-filled sight.
Through this vision, Lu Hai Kong witnessed a vibrant green landscape filled with vitality.
The originally colorful medicinal herbs were green, and Chen Ping was also green. The Divine Wood Essence in his hand was green, and even the nearby Hua Tuo exuded a soothing green aura. Fortunately, Lu Hai Kong himself appeared golden.
Amidst this verdant life force, Chen Ping officially began his breakthrough.
Lu Hai Kong clearly saw that Chen Ping's body was infused with streams of green energy, which seemed to flow along a unique path within him. As this energy circulated, Lu Hai Kong felt a distinct attraction emanating from Chen Ping's body.
This attraction drew the green essence of the Divine Wood Essence in Chen Ping's hand and the green aura of the surrounding herbs towards him.
These green auras adhered to Chen Ping in a way that Lu Hai Kong couldn't comprehend. He initially thought that Chen Ping would absorb this energy into his body, but to his surprise, neither the essence of the Divine Wood Essence nor the green aura of the herbs were absorbed.
Instead, the green auras swirled and rotated around Chen Ping in a mystical manner.
What's more intriguing was that as these green auras rotated, Lu Hai Kong noticed a mysterious pattern, or perhaps a symbol, gradually taking shape on Chen Ping's body.
This symbol exuded an incredibly enigmatic aura, and even in its nascent form, it captured Lu Hai Kong's attention.
His intuition told him that deciphering this pattern would not only reveal the secrets of the Taoist cultivation system but also provide insight into the core of Chen Ping's cultivation technique.
With this thought in mind, Lu Hai Kong focused all his attention on the mysterious symbol.
At this moment, a system notification sounded, and as Lu Hai Kong's attention remained fixed on the symbol, he seemed to sense its power and trajectory, as if he could unravel its mysteries.
However, just as Lu Hai Kong believed he had grasped its secrets, a faint system notification sounded, and a burst of light emanated from the symbol behind Chen Ping. The gathered green light then surged outward like a giant wave.
This sudden change abruptly interrupted Lu Hai Kong's comprehension, disrupting not only his insights but also his Celestial Eye Technique.
By the time Lu Hai Kong recovered, Chen Ping's advancement had already concluded. As Lu Hai Kong opened his eyes, he witnessed the moment Chen Ping completed his advancement.
Chen Ping's Divine Wood Essence dissipated in a flash of light, and a powerful aura surged from his body. A nearly visible green energy spread out, enveloping the nearby herbs.
It was an intriguing sight; before his advancement, Chen Ping had borrowed energy from these herbs, and now, after his advancement, he was returning the favor.
Lu Hai Kong was slightly surprised because he had expected the herbs to flourish after receiving Chen Ping's energy. However, not only did they not grow wildly, but they also showed no apparent changes from before.
"These herbs, nourished by Chen's spiritual power, may not have grown, but they could undergo positive mutations, possibly leading to an upgrade in their grade."
Hua Tuo, standing nearby, noticed Lu Hai Kong's confusion and offered an explanation.
Upon hearing Hua Tuo's words, Lu Hai Kong nodded and shifted his gaze from the herbs to Chen Ping. A golden light flashed in his eyes as he appraised Chen Ping's attributes.
