"Uncle Zhang, there’s no need to be so polite."
Chen Fan waved his hand.
He gave these to Zhang Ren, not for his gratitude.
Moreover, he had a plan in mind.
That was to wait until Zhang Ren reached the Transforming Force stage, and then he would spend money to buy a Cloud Jade Fruit that could enhance a martial artist’s Primordial True Qi for him. With him providing protection, there shouldn’t be any danger.
By then, Uncle Zhang would truly be a Meridian Refining Martial Artist.
As for his family, he planned to do the same.
He didn’t expect his father and brother to have great combat power after becoming Meridian Refining Martial Artists. As long as they had the ability to escape in danger, that was enough.
Zhang Ren swallowed the words he was about to say.
At this moment, words were so pale; only actions could prove everything.
After a while, Chen Fan returned home.
Chen Guodong also received the news from Zhang Ren and hurried back.
Seeing that Chen Fan was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked, "Xiaofan, what about Xiaozhe?"
"He has already passed the assessment and become a member of the Awakened Association." Chen Fan smiled.
Since only family was present, he didn’t hide anything.
"That’s good."
Chen Guodong immediately showed a smile.
These two days, Gu Jianghai and his wife hadn’t had a good night’s sleep.
Getting this news, they would surely be happy.
"Dad, Mom, Xiaochen, this time I’ve brought two bottles of Top-grade Qi Blood Pills for you. After taking them, they can speed up your cultivation progress."
As Chen Fan spoke, he placed two bottles of elixirs on the table.
"Top-grade Qi Blood Pills?" Chen Chen exclaimed, "Brother, what are Top-grade Qi Blood Pills?"
"Silly kid," Yin Fang patted his head and said, "Of course, they’re good stuff."
"Xiaofan, these Top-grade Qi Blood Pills must be expensive, right?" Chen Guodong had heard of Qi Blood Pills and reflexively said, "Xiaofan, you should keep them for yourself. We stay in the stronghold, unlike you, working hard outside."
"Yes, Xiaofan, keep these two bottles for yourself." Yin Fang also chimed in.
"Don’t worry, Dad, Mom, I don’t need these anymore." Chen Fan smiled. His parents’ reaction was within his expectations.
He opened one bottle, took out one pill, and said, "For you now, a whole Top-grade Qi Blood Pill is still too much. You can cut it into five or six parts and take one part at a time,
wait until the medicinal power is almost digested, and then take another part. This way, combining with your usual cultivation, your realm will improve much faster."
Hearing the words ’realm improvement,’ Chen Guodong’s eyes flashed with a fiery light.
"Mom, you can also take some from time to time; it’s good for strengthening the body and health. Don’t worry about running out, I have plenty of these." Chen Fan looked at Yin Fang and said.
"Okay, okay." Yin Fang hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Alright then, I’ll go rest upstairs for a while." Chen Fan smiled. He planned to send a bottle to Meng Yu before leaving and tell her that their reunion was just a couple of days away.
Watching Chen Fan walk up the stairs, the three of them looked at the two bottles of elixirs on the table.
So, this time Xiaofan came back just to bring these for them?
Back in his bedroom, Chen Fan stretched his body, then sat down on the sofa, and looked at the panel.
Experience Points: 358,000
He smiled slightly.
Let’s start with the Celestial Response Technique. Last time, the experience points were only enough to upgrade this Spirit Secret Manual to the Great Success Realm, just a bit short.
With a thought.
6,400 experience points vanished, and his spiritual power in his mind surged again.
"It seems that no Perfect Traits were unlocked."
Chen Fan sighed softly.
Besides the enhancement of his spiritual power, no other sensations came.
[Celestial Response Technique: Perfection (Cannot be upgraded), Traits: Gathering Spirit Level 5, Celestial Response Level 4]
The Level 5 Gathering Spirit trait boosted his Spirit Attribute by 1.5 times.
The Level 4 Celestial Response was different.
The perception range expanded from 20 kilometers at Level 3 to a 40-kilometer radius!
This meant that if he was in Anshan City, he could almost sense the situation in the surrounding area.
However, the consumption of spiritual power also became immensely terrifying.
Level 1 Celestial Response consumes 1,000 spiritual points per second, Level 2 consumes 3,000 points, Level 3 consumes 9,000 points, and Level 4 consumes 27,000 points.
"It’s still acceptable."
Chen Fan muttered.
A 40-kilometer perception range was quite scary.
Just then, a piece of information emerged in his mind.
"Could it be?"
Chen Fan’s eyes showed a hint of delight.
[Detection of Celestial Response Technique at Perfection, capable of advancement to the next realm, upgrade now?]
"It really is!"
Chen Fan clenched his fist.
Could it be that his spiritual power was high enough to trigger the requirement?
Since that’s the case, what’s there to hesitate about? Naturally, continue to upgrade.
Clicking yes.
The spiritual power in his mind surged again, and not only that, but a strange feeling also welled up in his heart.
Chen Fan’s eyes lit up.
It seemed like a new trait was unlocked?
A moment later, the skill bar of Celestial Response Technique changed again.
[Celestial Response Technique: Pinnacle of Attainments (Cannot be upgraded), Traits: Gathering Spirit Level 6, Celestial Response Level 5, Spiritual Imprint Level 1]
"Spiritual Imprint?"
Chen Fan curiously looked over.
[Spiritual Imprint: Active Skill, when activated, it leaves an imprint on the target’s Divine Soul, allowing one to sense the target’s aura within a thousand miles; the greater the difference in spiritual power, the higher the success rate. Each level upgrade increases the sensing range tenfold]
"So it’s a marking skill."
Chen Fan suddenly understood.
It can be used for tracking or protection.
For instance, leaving a spiritual imprint on family members to sense their safety through their aura’s strength and weakness.
Unlike Celestial Response, which requires constant activation and spiritual power consumption,
this Spiritual Imprint only requires spiritual power during imprinting and acts more like a passive skill,
and the range is much larger than Celestial Response.
A thousand miles, five hundred kilometers, he could sense his family’s condition in Chen Family Fortress even from a medium-sized city.
If the skill level increases, the sensing range extends to ten thousand miles! He could still sense from Jiangnan City without a problem.
Of course, everything has two sides.
Its drawback is that it requires marking each target one at a time, so it can only be used on a few people.
Besides Celestial Response, which was now at Level 5,
he could perceive up to 80 kilometers! Essentially, if he was in Anshan City, he could monitor everything happening in Chen Family Stronghold.
The spiritual power consumption was predictably high, consuming 81,000 points per second!
With nearly 300,000 spiritual points, he could barely sustain it for four seconds.
"This should be foolproof."
Chen Fan exhaled.
If any danger threatened Chen Family Fortress, he could detect it immediately and respond promptly.
Moreover, there was another piece of good news.
Chen Fan’s attention shifted to the [Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill].
[Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill (Incomplete): Completely Ignorant (0%)]
[Current Collection: 16%]
[Completion Conditions: 1. Spiritual Power reaches 10,000 points 2. Celestial Response Technique Perfection]
[Conditions met. Completion time: 2 days. Complete now?]
Seeing the last line of information, Chen Fan scratched his head.
He had already overachieved both conditions, yet it would still take two days to complete.
This meant if Celestial Response Technique was only at Perfection, it might take four or five days, even a week to complete.
"Take it slowly."
Chen Fan shook his head and clicked yes.
Another Spirit Secret Technique, the Soul Shifting Technique, also reached Perfection.
He speculated that the completion of the Soul Shifting Technique might be one of the conditions for upgrading the Undying Seal Technique, along with learning the Marriage Robe Divine Skill.
Completing the Marriage Robe Divine Skill required learning various Inner Power Heart Methods to unlock the trait of absorbing enemy’s True Qi.
A grand edifice begins on the ground.
"I need to learn Archery; it’s my main attack method. Heart Methods are also essential, affecting my True Qi amount and attack power. If the True Qi is insufficient, even with a killing technique, it won’t be used often.
Golden Bell Shield is a must, too, as it enhances survival ability. Reaching the 9th Floor of Golden Bell Shield completes Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, and Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill follows a similar path. Therefore, learning Ten Thousand Palm Divine Skill and Thousand Forms Divine Skill today is crucial for early unlocking.
Then, learning one or two Fist and Kick Martial Arts for emergencies. Currently, I’m prioritizing Potential Points for meridian opening and body enhancement, so attribute points can be added gradually. Lastly, learning Windward Slash would address my close-combat shortfall."
Chen Fan nodded, feeling ready.
He checked the skill bar.
Compared to other Weapon Martial Arts, Archery Martial Arts were indeed scarce. Even at the Awakened Association, there were only three Arrow Technique Secret Manuals.
[Sun-Shooting Arrow Technique], an arrow technique known for its incredible speed and power, allegedly capable of shooting down the sun.
Chen Fan thought this was likely an exaggeration.
However, based on the description, its secret techniques should be stronger than his current Cloud-piercing Arrow Technique.
It seemed worth practicing.
His powerful arrows consuming 3,000 points of True Qi could only severely injure a Fire Scaly Pig.
Facing Commander Level, they might not break through their defense.
The second one, [Flaming Arrow Technique], was unique, turning a martial artist’s True Qi into Fire Attribute True Qi, enhancing arrow power greatly.
But based on the description, it required a high amount of True Qi, making it difficult to use even if learned by most martial artists.
Exceptionally, if a martial artist already had Fire Attribute True Qi, it would be highly advantageous.
[Divine Arrow Technique], the third and final one,
was special for adding spiritual power to arrows, dealing damage to both the enemy’s body and Divine Soul, causing double torment.
"Unexpectedly, another Spiritual Attack." Chen Fan was somewhat surprised.
The Soul-Annihilating Finger, compared to this, had too short an attack range.
With only three Arrow Technique Secret Manuals, Chen Fan naturally intended to learn them all.
Starting with the [Sun-Shooting Arrow Technique] seemed like a good idea.
