Chapter 898: Playing tricks
Then, he shook his head helplessly and sighed inwardly.
Because he discovered that even with a powerful technique like the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue, the process of converting true essence into immortal essence was very slow.
This made him feel a little disappointed and frustrated. After all, he had thought that with the power of the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue, he could quickly complete the transformation process, but reality poured cold water on him.
Such a result undoubtedly disrupted Lu Chen's previous plan, and his mood became depressed.
He originally expected to quickly improve and break through to the human immortal realm, and then find a way to go to the upper heaven realm.
But now it appears that this goal may take longer to achieve.
There was no way out. Now that things had come to this, Lu Chen could only re-plan the next few things.
Although he was depressed, he did not give up hope. Instead, he immediately adjusted his mentality and accepted this reality.
Then, with the idea of transforming every bit at a time, Lu Chen continued to practice the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue.
Although the progress is slow, he believes that as long as he perseveres, he will reap the rewards one day.
Silent all night.
In the quiet night, Lu Chen practiced silently, looking forward to finding out the information that Gu Shisan did not remember tomorrow.
The next morning, the sun shone through the window onto Lu Chen's face. He slowly opened his eyes, ending a night of practice. Just as he was about to get up and go out, there was a light knock on the door.
Lu Chen's heart moved, and he raised his hand and released a stream of true energy, and the door immediately opened automatically.
But I saw Zhang Xuemei in a white dress and a light veil on her face. Her figure was like the morning mist, giving people a fresh and mysterious feeling.
Although Lu Chen was a little surprised and didn't know why Zhang Xuemei came to see him alone, he still greeted her warmly: "Huh? It's Miss Zhang, why are you here? Please come in quickly!"
Zhang Xuemei nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Lu, you are polite. I came here today because I have something important to tell you. If I have disturbed you, I hope you will forgive me."
"Don't bother me, I just happen to have something I want to ask Miss Zhang."
Lu Chen was worried that he couldn't find anyone to answer his questions. Since Zhang Xuemei came to him on her own initiative, wasn't it like a sleepy man finding a pillow?
Therefore, Lu Chen was particularly enthusiastic.
However, what he didn't know was that Zhang Xuemei saw this expression as disgusting.
She thought Lu Chen was just coveting the Zhang family's power and was trying to please her.
After entering and sitting down, Zhang Xuemei was the first to speak, hesitantly:
"Mr. Lu, I am really sorry about something, but I still hope you can understand."
"Oh? What is it? If you need my help, please tell me directly, Miss Zhang. I will do my best to help you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen looked at Zhang Xuemei in confusion.
"It's about our marriage."
Zhang Xuemei said tentatively, and seeing that Lu Chen's expression did not change much, she continued:
"The Earthly Immortal Secret Realm will be opened in more than a month, and I need to retreat for a while.
As for the wedding, I would like to hold it after we come out of the Earthly Immortal Secret Realm. I wonder if Mr. Lu would agree to it?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen, with his many years of experience, instantly understood that the Zhang family's marriage proposal might have a hidden agenda.
At least Zhang Xuemei, this woman, has never thought about really marrying me, and of course that also includes other people.
But isn't this exactly what I want? As for what exactly the Zhang family is selling, I'm afraid it can only be revealed in the secret realm of earthly immortals.
When he thought of this, Lu Chen sneered in his heart, but said calmly on his face:
"Ah... what a pity, but since it is what Miss Zhang wants, then everything will be done according to what Miss Zhang says.
However, since we will get married sooner or later, and I am deeply in love with Miss Zhang, shouldn't Miss Zhang give me some compensation?"
Zhang Xuemei looked at Lu Chen's mean face and wanted to kill him immediately, but she still suppressed her anger and asked:
"What compensation do you want?"
Lu Chen stretched out a finger and said, "Ten thousand low-grade immortal crystals."
"What? Ten thousand low-grade immortal crystals? Why don't you go and rob them?" Zhang Xuemei said with her eyes wide open.
"Is ten thousand low-grade immortal crystals a lot? I originally wanted to get close to the Zhang family in order to obtain more cultivation resources.
Now that I have postponed my marriage for so long, and I have just ascended to the immortal realm, I am really embarrassed about the cyst. How can I practice without immortal crystals? I can't show up in public to earn immortal crystals, right?
If I am recognized, I don’t mind, but I am afraid it will damage the reputation of the Zhang family.”
Zhang Xuemei gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give you 10,000 low-grade immortal crystals."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, with the Immortal Crystal, I will definitely stay at home and practice obediently, and won't go anywhere.
After all, I also want to make achievements in the Earthly Immortal Secret Realm and contribute to the Zhang family."
After hearing this, Zhang Xuemei threw the storage bag to Lu Chen almost angrily, and then left immediately.
Lu Chen looked at the storage bag in his hand, and after checking it with his spiritual sense and confirming that there were 10,000 low-grade immortal crystals, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly rise, thinking to himself:
"Humph! You are still a little naive to play tricks on me. No matter what conspiracy your Zhang family has, when I come out of the secret realm, I will say goodbye to you. Only a fool would be willing to be the son-in-law of your Zhang family."
Then, Lu Chen closed the door with satisfaction, and then took some time to set up several formations, after making sure that everything was foolproof.
Then, with a thought, his body instantly disappeared from the spot, and appeared again.
Lu Chen has arrived at the forbidden area in the Golden Pearl World, and then flashed to the fourth floor of the Sky Time Tower.
Next, he prepared the few ten spirit veins, then sat cross-legged and activated the Sky Time Tower, while practicing the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue.
The fourth floor of the Sky Time Tower has a time multiplier of one hundred compared to the outside world.
In other words, Lu Chen practiced here for ten years, but only one day had passed in the outside world.
Therefore, Lu Chen's plan is to use this month to concentrate on transforming the true energy in his body into immortal energy.
At this moment, Lu Chen calmed down and concentrated on practicing the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue.
A faint light gradually emerged around his body, which was a sign that his true energy was gradually transforming into immortal energy.
As time went by, Lu Chen felt that wonderful changes were taking place in his body.
The originally white true energy in the body is gradually turning into golden immortal energy. Although the speed is very slow, it is constantly changing.
The meridians also became wider and tougher, and the immortal energy flowed more smoothly through them.
His breath also became longer and deeper, as if it had merged with the entire world...
