Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

Zhan Chen withdrew his dragon with a satisfied smile on his face after depositing the last drop of his yang essence inside the cave of Lan Yueyue.

He could see that Lan Yueyue was already dead tired after hours long dual cultivation. "Cultivate the Yin nourishing technique. It will definitely bring some benefit to you", Zhan Chen spoke to Lan Yueyue.

Lan Yueyue nodded her head shyly. Her whole body was aching as Zhan was relentless in their hours long cultivation. Zhan Chen himself had came down twice. So, one could only imagine how terrible it could be for Lan Yueyue.

Despite the physical exhaustion, Lan Yueyue was satisfied mentally. The hours long cultivation brought her more closer to Zhan Chen.

She took a look at Zhan Chen and put on her clothes. Then she sat down crosslegged to cultivate.

Zhan Chen also did the same as he was eager to find out the rise in his cultivation. Other works aside, he had never forgotten about improving his cultivation.

The longer he stayed in the central land, the more he was feeling the urgency to increase his cultivation. There were so many hidden experts even the the Yellow stone city where he was currently staying had three peak sixth stage experts. Their auras were completely hidden but Zhan Chen could completely see through their concealment.

"I most do my best. Hidden experts kept popping out and there is also that upcoming event involving Xie family. I need to have sufficient strength while dealing with these ", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

He closed his eyes and operated the Celestial yin yang sutra. The primordial yin essence of Lan Yueyue was absorbed by the divine yin Yang diagram which in turn sent waves after waves of pure essence energy into his merdians.

Zhan Chen sent all the pure esnce energy towards his core and continued to follow the same pattern untill he exhausted all the essence energy of Lan Yueyue.

His core which lied above his dantian swelled in size after receiving the huge amount of essence energy. Finally, it broke the bottleneck of fifth stage and pushed Zhan Chen into the Sixth stage of Core condensation realm.

Zhan Chen continued to cultivate even after crossing the boteneck. He was planning to stabilize his cultivation in one go.

It took another two hours before he could properly polish and adjusted his core. Unlike other cultivators, he was compressing his core to the limit which required double the amount of essence energy than a regular Core condensation cultivator.

He could have easily pushed his cultivation to the peak of sixth stage of Core condensation realm but he chose not to do so. He used the remaining essence energy in properly compressing and polishing his core. It kept him stagnated at the initial sixth stage of Core condensation realm.

"Looks like I have to look for sixth stage cultivators. A pure girl like Yueyue could only help me this much despite her fifth stage cultivation", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

"Of course it is a different case if I find a peak fifth stage cultivator with whom I can cultivate regularly. The cultivation will slow down in this process but it is still much faster than normal cultivation method", Zhan Chen thought further.

He opened his eyes and took a look at Lan Yueyue. She was already sleeping on his bed. Her breath was even and she had a calm and peaceful expression on her face.

"It is a pity that she can't accompany me. Otherwise, she could have become my regular cultivation partner", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.

He spread his soul consciousness and a curious look appeared on his face after seeing a group of people waiting in the ground floor. From their conversation, he found out that they were looking for him.

Zhan Chen walked out of his room and climbed down the stairs. Two smiling old men welcomed him as soon as he stepped into the ground floor.

"Grand master Chen, we have not known it earlier. Please accept our apology for neglecting you", the two old men spoke earnestly.

"It is not your fault. I don't need any special treatment just because I am a pill grandmaster", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Grandmaster, this is your greatness. You are so modest despite your achivement in such a young age", one of the two old men spoke. He took out a spatial ring from his robe and handed over it to Zhan Chen.

"What is the meaning of this?", Zhan Chen raised his eyebrow.

"Grandmaster, it is a small gift from our Wu clan. Please accept this. Otherwise, we will not have any face left when we return to our clan", the old man replied.

"So, this Clear spring inn is your Wu clan's property?", Zhan Chen asked.

"Yes grandmaster", the old man nodded his head in return.

"I am not interested in your gifts but this Clear spring inn has caught my attention", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Grand master, are you interested in our inn?", both of the Wu clan old men looked at Zhan Chen with surprised expression on their faces.

"Yes but let's talk about it later. I have to attend other guests who have come along with you", Zhan Chen replied.

Both of the Wu clan old men bade their farewell to Zhan Chen after hearing his words. They hurried over to their clans to discuss about the proposal of Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen shifted his attention to other groups after sending back the Wu clan cultivators. One of the group among the crowd was more eye-catching as he saw several familiar looking faces among them.

"Grand master Chen, please accept the apology of our clans. They wouldn't have dare to offence you if they came to learn about your talent sooner".

"Grand master Chen, we are sorry", several young men bowed their heads together. Zhan Chen found it funny as they were the exact group who were picking a fight with him in the branch headquarter of the Alchemy association.

"I can forgive them but are you sure that, they will not create trouble for others using their identities?", Zhan Chen asked.

"Grand master, we wouldn't", the group of young men spoke together. A smile appeared on Zhan Chen's face after seeing their embarassed expressions.

Zhan Chen met other groups after sending the group of young men and their elders back. His hand was already full with spatial rings by the time the last visitor left the Clear spring inn.

'Alchemy association is really proficient in spreading the information. It has been only one day and the news of me becoming a pill grandmaster has spread to the nearby areas of the Yellow stone city', Zhan Che thought to himself.

He walked out of the Clear spring inn and his new destination was 'Azure stone pavilion' which was also the biggest establishment for the cultivators of the Yellow stone city.

Compared to the Golden leaf pavilion, Azure stone pavilion was less luxurious but it attracted the highest number of cultivators due to the affordable nature of its commodities.

Zhan Chen blended himself within the crowd as he entered into the Azure stone pavilion. The atmosphere inside the stone pavilion was noisy due to the enthusiastic cultivators.

Zhan Chen also took a look at the products and a curious look appeared on his face after he discovered some unusual materials with his soul consciousness.
