I Found A Planet

Chapter 483 Do You Have Any Spirit Stones On You?

“Hello doppelganger, I’m also called Chen Jin,” Chen Jin gave a faint smile.

Both of them were Chen Jin himself. The difference between them was like the difference between his left hand and right hand. For a moment, he was overcome by a sense of novelty so he greeted the doppelganger to amuse himself.

Chen Jin tried out his new body for a little bit and then he took out the spirit stones from the storage ring and cultivated for a while. After the transformation was done on his body through the Body of A Sage and never-ending nourishment of spiritual energy, the natural aptitudes of this new body was not too bad. It could cultivate quite quickly.

He would let this new body go to the immortal world. He could simply stay on Earth since he was training himself using the methods in the Emperor’s Scripture. If the two of him were in different universes, then naturally, his chances of survival would increase greatly. Although the new body had no cultivation yet, it could better adapt to his identity in the immortal world.

He finished taking care of things on that end. It just so happened that Mu Yunhua and Guo Yan had returned early.

Through various forms of coaxing and pestering, Guo Yan finally agreed to go to earth to cultivate. Mu Yunhua also agreed to his invitation to go to the earth. Hence Chen Jin passed the practice method to the two and returned to the passageway connecting earth and the Heavenly Realm, where he settled down to train. The doppelganger and Chen Jin were the same person. The two individuals’ consciousnesses were interlinked. The doppelganger moved all the spirit stones from the Base at Haierfa, where the production of spirit stones had been going on for a long time and returned to the immortal world, which the Chen Jin on earth perceived through their linked consciousness.

In the immortal world, Chen Jin climbed out from the bottom of the bed. He exhaled some turbid breath and sighed, “Everyone crawls out from their birthplace on the first day of birth, seems that I’m not exempt.” When the naga robot saw Chen Jin, it came over and said, “Master, you’re back.”

Chen Jin looked at the robot, “Hmm, did anything happen recently?”

“Everything was peaceful for the past year and 43vdays. I have rejected participation in the sect’s grand tournament on your behalf. I have also completed the monthly missions. The mission for the first month was…”

“Ok, ok, stop talking, I know.” Hearing how the robot was about to do an information dump on him by reporting everything in full detail, Chen Jin’s head began to swim. He quickly stopped the robot from talking and put it back into the storage ring.

“Since my cultivation is essentially zero, it’s better to practice first so that I can have a little cultivation,” As he thought this, he took out the top-grade spirit stones. The spiritual energy in these was amazing. Chen Jin silently ran the practice method. He saw the spiritual energy from the spirit stones rise like smoke and entered his body through his arm. A large circulation of spiritual energy was running in his body, and at his abdomen, this spiritual energy slowly condensed into magic power. Chen Jin’s cultivation successfully entered the first level of Qi cultivation.

After half an hour, Chen Jin’s cultivation reached the fourth level of Qi cultivation and he stopped. At present, this level of cultivation was enough to dupe others into believing his identity. It wouldn’t be good if it was too high, as it would be easy for others to see that something was fishy. Of course, if others knew that he broke through to the fourth level in half an hour, they would surely be extremely shocked. But if he said that he had reached this level of cultivation after sealing himself off for more than a year, no one would have any suspicions.

The top-grade spirit stones are really powerful when applied to me in this realm. My cultivation had improved so much in such a short period, moreover, I’ve only consumed a little of the spiritual energy in the spirit stones. The increased spiritual energy can be said to be next to nothing,” Chen Jin muttered to himself.

Chen Jin stopped cultivating and stepped out of the room. It had been more than a year, but the surrounding scenery had not changed much. There were a lot of new faces, Chen Jin thought that they must be newly inducted disciples. He did not know if Fang Bin and others of his batch had changed their residences. He was about to go to Fang Bin’s accommodation when he saw Fang Bin walking towards him. “Brother Chen, your seclusion is finally over. The last time you secluded yourself was half a month ago. You won’t be completing the mission in a rush so that you can seal yourself off again right?” Fang Bin blinked at Chen Jin.

“Erm, not this time, I’m tired of staying at home. It’s time to come out for a stroll. Exercise is vital for our bodies to function.” Chen Jin smiled awkwardly. It seemed that this robot had stayed in the house and did not come out. Hmm, it was quite a homebody.

“‘Exercise is vital for our bodies to function.’ Brother Chen, this is correct. This sentence tells us that only exercise is the true essence of life. Cultivation without exercising is like cultivation without a soul,” Fang Bin’s eyes brightened. It was as if he had heard a particularly wise saying or something.

Cough, cough. What’s he going on about? It was just something that he had said casually, there wasn’t some sort of great logic to that sentence.

“Why are you looking for me?” Chen Jin was afraid that Fang Bin would say something useless again so he quickly spoke before Fang Bin did.

“You didn’t participate in last year’s grand tournament, this year’s tournament will be starting soon. If you don’t participate in this year’s tournament again, both of us might be relegated to being odd-job workers since we’ve not yet participated, we can’t say that we have to be turned into a chore,” Fang Bin said resentfully.

Chen Jin was doubtful, “Didn’t you participate?”

“I participated, but my capabilities were too poor and my cultivation too insufficient. I was one of the last few at the very bottom of the rankings, so I didn’t pass,” Fang Bin said helplessly.

Chen Jin looked at Fang Bin, “What about now? Do you think you can pass?”

“My Qi cultivation is at the fourth level now, I think I should be ok,” Fang Bin said uncertainly.

To better understand the situation, Chen Jin asked, “What were the participants’ cultivation levels in the last tournament?”

“Most of the people in our area had a Qi cultivation level of two or three. After all, everyone had only been cultivating for a short time–only for little more than a month–before they participated in the tournament last year. The sect took into account that we’ve only been cultivating for a very short time so they relaxed the conditions for us. We can choose to participate or not. Those who pass can move to a living area that is one grade better. And if we chose not to participate, we would not be downgraded into servants. But there is no way out if we don’t pass this time around.” Considering that Brother Chen did not attend the event last time, he probably did not understand the situation, so Fang Bin gave Chen Jin a detailed explanation.

“Others got to the second or third level after cultivating their Qi for a month. You have been cultivating for a year but you’ve only attained the fourth level. You’re so confident that you dare to say that you’ll pass?” Chen Jin shook his head, he was speechless.

“Aren’t you also at the fourth level,” Fang Bin mumbled.

Chen Jin couldn’t help but give a reluctant smile. Yes, he was only at the fourth level of Qi cultivation. It seemed that he still needed to improve his cultivation. Otherwise, it would be so shameful if he was relegated to doing odd jobs as a servant.

Seeing Chen Jin’s bitter smile, Fang Bin continued, “But there is still a month to go, we can improve our cultivation some more. Maybe, just maybe, it’s not too late for us.”

“Well, it’s too late to only rely on seclusion. Let’s go and see if there are other ways to improve our strength,” Chen said without thinking. In fact, for Chen Jin, as long as he continued to cultivate from now on, he would have built his Foundation in one month. But in order not to follow his old path of cultivation, he decided not to cultivate according to his original practice methods. He chose to cultivate using new practice methods.

Listening to Chen Jin, Fang Bin began to feel excited. He said rather sadly, “Then we can go to the method transmission pavilion to learn some martial skills or buy some powerful weapons from the market, but we don’t have any spirit stones, so it’s useless even if we go.”

“Is there no place where we can earn spirit stones?” Chen Jin felt like he was about to be driven mad. What was this? He had a lot of spirit stones, but he couldn’t use them. If a new disciple took so many spirit stones with him to purchase items in the market, others would find it strange.

After staying there for more than a year, Fang Bin was more familiar with everything than Chen Jin. He said, “It’s possible to earn spirit stone but it’s too difficult. We can earn them by gambling with treasures in the Memorial Market. We can also earn them by completing various missions. But for us, they are even more difficult than passing the exam, we can forget about the missions.”

“That’s all right, let’s go gambling with treasures. Oh yes, do you have any spirit stones?” Chen Jin said with some embarrassment.
