Chapter 629: Breakthrough, Combined Aperture Seventh Transformation

In the courtyard, Chen Fei gently raised his right hand, and the water in the rockery pond flew out, landing in his hand. In his mind, insights into the Unfettered Matrix Technique began to emerge.

Chen Fei returned the water in his hand back to the pond while new water flew over, forming a circular closed loop. The insights into martial arts in his mind continued to flow.

There were many simplified methods of water sucking, not limited to the one in front of him, but undoubtedly, that method was the fastest.

Tong Linyun stood nearby, watching Chen Fei’s movements with curiosity. At first, she had thought Chen Fei was practicing some martial arts, but after watching for a while, she realized that he was simply sucking water out of the pond.

Chen Fei sat cross-legged, using only a bit of mental focus to control the water absorption, while the rest of his mind operated martial arts techniques.

At that time, Chen Fei still had many martial arts techniques to practice. In addition to the Unfettered Matrix Technique, there were also the Conjoined Body Technique, the Heavenly Eye enhanced by the Diffracted Heavenly Eye Technique, and the Three Flowers Shadow Art. Therefore, Chen Fei’s daily schedule remained quite full.

However, the most important thing at the moment had been the newly acquired Unfettered Matrix Technique.

The Unfettered Matrix Technique did not need to be cultivated to the stage of perfection before it could be used; in fact, it could be used for condensing the Three Flowers from the moment one stepped into proficiency.

The only difference was that the efficiency was too low, and it was easy to waste those precious treasures.

Fortunately, Chen Fei’s recent wealth was quite abundant, so such losses could be sustained. Compared to time, sometimes the extra expenditure of elemental stones was not the most important thing.

Twenty days later, in a small-scale market.

These exchange meetings had been organized periodically within the

Thousand Feathers City recently.

“A Seven Treasures Soul Returning Pill for one portion of Millennium Snow

Silkworms, three Silver Frost Gra.s.ses, and five Phoenix Fire Spirit Fruits!”

Chen Fei changed his aura and appearance, standing in the front, holding out a pill.

The items Chen Fei requested were mostly spiritual materials needed to condense the first flower of the Unfettered Matrix Technique, most of which could be purchased from shops and Chen Fei had already collected.

Only some relatively rare spiritual materials were still missing, so Chen Fei simply stood at the front to exchange for them.

The Seven Treasures Soul Returning Pill was obtained by Chen Fei in the Black Divine Realm. All the gains in the Black Divine Realm were rare treasures rarely seen in the outside world. Therefore, when everyone saw the pill in Chen Fei’s hand, all the cultivators at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm gathered their attention.

The Seven Treasures Soul Returning Pill couldn’t a.s.sist in cultivation, but it could bring a person back from the brink of death when heavily injured, making it a holy medicine for healing.

As long as they hadn’t died on the spot, martial artists below the Mountain Sea Realm could rely on this pill to hold onto their last breath and continue to heal their injuries.

For cultivators, spiritual materials that could aid cultivation naturally held extremely high value. But something that could save their lives in critical moments was indispensable for every martial artist.

No one could guarantee that they would never encounter life-threatening situations.

Or perhaps in the current situation of the Thousand Feathers Alliance, the value of this Seven Treasures Soul Returning Pill was even higher.

“I have Silver Frost Gra.s.s. Can I replace the others with elemental stones? someone messaged privately, while various messages echoed around Chen Fei’s ears.

“I don’t accept elemental stones. I only trade goods for goods.

Chen Fei didn’t individually reply to anyone. By taking out the Seven Treasures Soul Returning Pill, he aimed to streamline the process, allowing others to collect the spiritual materials and come for the exchange.

Rather than exchanging only a portion of the spiritual materials, Chen Fei would rather wait patiently and buy them individually with elemental stones.

After Chen Fei politely gestured to everyone, he descended from the platform. Seeing Chen Fei’s resolute att.i.tude, no one pressed further with questions and instead began exchanging spiritual materials with those around them in hopes of obtaining the Seven Treasures Soul Returning Pill.

A quarter of an hour later, someone invited Chen Fei into a side room.

“It truly took some effort to acquire your Seven Treasures Soul Returning Pill, Chang Yuanyin said, looking at Chen Fei with a smile.

“You’ve been very helpful!” Chen Fei replied with a smile on his face.

Hearing Chen Fei’s words, Chang Yuanyin understood that Chen Fei didn’t want to say much, so he didn’t insist. He directly took out the Millennium Snow Silkworms, Silver Frost Gra.s.s, and Phoenix Fire Spirit Fruits from his Qiankun

Bag.

Chen Fei activated his Heavenly Eye slightly, enveloping the various spiritual materials. Not sensing any issues, he handed over the Seven Treasures Soul

Returning Pill.

Chang Yuanyin carefully inspected it, sensing the special medicinal power within, and his smile widened even more.

“Do you have any other spiritual materials you’d like to exchange? I happen to have some connections and can acquire more,” Chang Yuanyin said, putting away the Seven Treasures Soul Returning Pill and looking up at Chen Fei.

Chang Yuanyin had been quite impressed by Chen Fei recently. Although Chen Fei didn’t often trade goods, every item he offered was extraordinary.

Chang Yuanyin didn’t care where Chen Fei obtained these items; he just wanted to acquire more treasures like the Seven Treasures Soul Returning Pill from him.

Chen Fei looked at Chang Yuanyin and pondered for a moment before asking, “Do you happen to have any Heavenly Lingzhi?”

The spiritual materials he had obtained today were already enough for Chen Fei to condense the first flower in advance, but he still lacked quite a few materials for the second and third flowers.

Especially this Heavenly Lingzhi, it directly determined whether he could condense the second flower in advance. However, Chen Fei had recently inquired and found out that Heavenly Lingzhi hadn’t appeared for quite some time.

Even in the Thousand Feathers City, the center of the alliance, news about

Heavenly Lingzhi was rare.

Heavenly Lingzhi was extremely rare, but it was more obscure, only used in some ancient pill formulas. Many pill formulas now abandoned the use of Heavenly Lingzhi due to its scarcity.

This made Heavenly Lingzhi even harder to collect, according to the information Chen Fei had recently gathered.

“Heavenly Lingzhi?” Chang Yuanyin couldn’t help but frown. That thing was really hard to find.

“If you have it or any information about it, please let me know. I’ll come to the exchange meetings every month,” Chen Fei said with a smile.

“Alright! I’ll inquire about it. If there’s any news, I’ll inform you,” Chang Yuanyin nodded.

However, he didn’t make any promises because he hadn’t seen Heavenly Lingzhi in years either.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Fei returned to his courtyard that he had purchased.

Tong Linyun was out, so Chen Fei went straight to the secret chamber in the courtyard and activated all the formations.

These formations couldn’t block cultivators at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, but they had some effect in concealing probing and masking elemental fluctuations. With these in place, it was already sufficient for Chen Fei.

Moreover, in Thousand Feathers City, no one dared to act recklessly. The power of the Mountain Sea Realm was not just empty talk.

In the twenty days since obtaining the Unfettered Matrix Technique, Chen Fei had hardly stopped practicing this technique, except for occasional outings. Several days ago, he had already mastered the Unfettered Matrix Technique.

Chen Fei had only been unable to condense the first flower because he hadn’t obtained enough spiritual materials.

Now that all the spiritual materials had been acquired, he could finally begin practicing.

Cross-legged, Chen Fei formed hand seals, and a special fluctuation emanated from his body, enveloping all the spiritual materials in front of him.

These materials floated up, and wisps of nearly imperceptible spiritual essence seeped out from them, then entered Chen Fei’s body.

Among the three aspects of essence, energy, and spirit, there was no specific order. Every cultivator in the later stages of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm could choose which aspect to condense based on their own circ.u.mstances or the method of their technique.

Among Chen Fei’s three aspects, his essence was undoubtedly the strongest, followed by his spirit, and lastly his cultivation of elemental energy.

Therefore, Chen Fei chose to primarily condense his first flower with essence. For him, this should be the easiest option.

When the first flower is condensed on the apertures, entering the seventh transformation realm, both the mind and elemental energy will increase along with it. For Chen Fei as a whole, this is the best choice.

Strands of spiritual essence, invisible and intangible, gathered slowly on Chen Fei’s apertures. Chen Fei felt a weight on his apertures, gradually increasing.

In normal cultivation, there wouldn’t be such a sensation on the apertures because it would be a gradual process, and the apertures would gradually adapt over time, thus not causing any unusual feelings.

But now, with accelerated and forced condensation, the pressure on the apertures naturally increased several times. Without sufficiently strong apertures, practicing the Unfettered Matrix Technique would not only be a dead end but also definitely not a good choice.

The essence in Chen Fei’s flesh and blood began to oscillate, connecting with the spiritual essence on the apertures, gradually increasing the essence on the apertures.

Unlike the Three Flower Technique, which directly robbed one’s essence, energy, and spirit to condense the three flowers, the Unfettered Matrix Technique resonated with the essence, energy, and spirit, using the spiritual essence in the spiritual materials to transform the required essence, energy, and spirit.

Therefore, Chen Fei’s essence, energy, and spirit didn’t suffer any loss at this moment, while the essence on the apertures continued to acc.u.mulate, faintly forming a circular pattern.

The weight borne by the apertures suddenly increased, causing a slight vibration in Chen Fei’s apertures, but fortunately, it was just a slight tremor.

When Chen Fei was in the sixth transformation realm, his apertures were indeed extremely solid. This weight might be too much for other cultivators at the aperture realm, but for Chen Fei, it was manageable.

The circular pattern on the apertures became clearer and clearer, while the spiritual materials in front of Chen Fei gradually dimmed. These spiritual materials were worth tens of thousands of mid-grade elemental stones, or even a high-grade magical treasure, but now they were nothing more than that.

With Chen Fei’s absorption, these spiritual materials were about to lose all their power.

“Hum!”

The void trembled, and these spiritual materials trembled slightly before turning into powder and dissipating, releasing a pure aura of elemental energy. Chen Fei absorbed the special spiritual essence from these spiritual materials, only taking a fraction of the elemental energy.

Allowing this elemental energy to spread throughout the entire secret chamber, Chen Fei’s attention was fully focused on the apertures within his body.

The vibration just now signified the complete condensation of the circular pattern on the apertures, marking the formation of the first flower. However, the cultivation was not over yet. Chen Fei needed to truly embed this first flower into the apertures to achieve complete success.

As the circular pattern descended gradually, the frequency of vibrations in the apertures increased, and the weight they needed to bear grew heavier.

“Boom!”

Like a sound resonating in his soul, ripples spread from Chen Fei’s body, permeating the entire secret chamber. In the next moment, elemental energy from the surroundings surged towards Chen Fei..
