Chapter 36

Jing Yan's eyes flickered!

Soul crystals are good things, but a martial artist's body cannot withstand the energy they contain, which is equivalent to a life-threatening thing.

"Little guy, your current state is not good! I think you might need to spend several months to stabilize your cultivation," Tianshui said, shaking his head again.

Although Jing Yan's breakthrough was successful this time, the process was not smooth. The primordial energy in his martial arts meridians is now completely under Jing Yan's control on the surface, but once pushed to the limit, many unpredictable consequences will arise.

Hearing Tianshui say this, Jing Yan's brows immediately furrowed.

He doesn't have that much time.

Jing Yan only has three months, and this breakthrough to the Seventh Heaven Realm has already taken a few days. The remaining time is less than three months, and by then, he must fight Jing Tianlong in front of all the Jing family's descendants.

Seeing the expression on Jing Yan's face, Tianshui chuckled again.

"But, I do have a way to solve this problem," Tianshui stroked his long white beard.

"What way?" Jing Yan's gaze lifted.

"Little guy, you should know about the Nine Yin Fruit, right?" Tianshui said.

"Nine Yin Fruit?" Jing Yan was slightly taken aback.

Of course, he knew about the Nine Yin Fruit. In the Western Market under Jing Yan's control, the Nine Yin Fruit can be bought. For example, in the Ruyi Pavilion, there should be quite a few Nine Yin Fruits.

The Nine Yin Fruit is a third-grade spiritual medicine, quite valuable. However, not many people buy the Nine Yin Fruit because it is a material for healing potions, and only some alchemists might buy it.

In fact, even alchemists rarely buy the Nine Yin Fruit. Healing potions are essential for martial artists who often take risks. However, ordinary martial artists only need to use some low-grade healing potions. Those expensive healing potions are too costly for ordinary martial artists to afford.

Only martial artists above the innate realm might carry one or two high-grade healing potions.

Indeed, high-grade healing potions are very expensive. Moreover, even high-grade healing potions have their limits. For example, if a martial artist breaks an arm or a leg, a high-grade healing potion cannot make it grow back.

In short, using high-grade potions is not cost-effective.

Jing Yan looked at Tianshui with a puzzled gaze, not knowing what Tianshui meant by mentioning the Nine Yin Fruit.

"The Nine Yin Fruit is a good thing. Jing Yan, you now need to buy and use a large amount of Nine Yin Fruit. This fruit contains yin energy, which can neutralize the yang energy of the soul crystal. With this, you won't suffer from the backlash of the soul crystal's power, and you can even advance your cultivation speed further," Tianshui said, squinting his eyes.

"What?"

"The Nine Yin Fruit has this effect?" Jing Yan's eyes immediately brightened in surprise.

Clearly, Tianshui would not deceive him.

If Tianshui says it works, it must work.

"Yes, but the amount needed might be quite large. There are also more advanced spiritual herbs containing yin energy, but you definitely can't get them now, so you have to settle for the Nine Yin Fruit. Well, I'm a bit tired, so I won't say more."

As he spoke, Tianshui's figure disappeared from Jing Yan's sight.

"Nine Yin Fruit..."

Jing Yan's eyes flickered, then he frowned.

Now that he knew the solution to the problem, there was still one difficulty in front of him. That is, Jing Yan's spirit stones are not many.

A single Nine Yin Fruit is worth about a thousand spirit stones. Jing Yan has only a little over two thousand spirit stones. That means he can buy at most two Nine Yin Fruits. According to Tianshui, two Nine Yin Fruits clearly won't solve the problem.

There is also the fact that Jing Yan is now a high-level martial artist. For the high-grade martial arts he has practiced before, even if he can't fully use them, he can use part of them. And the high-grade martial arts, without any surprises, the First Divine Skill of the Cangqiong will definitely need to be improved, and improving martial arts will certainly require a large amount of spirit stones.

Improving a mid-grade martial art cost Jing Yan hundreds of spirit stones, and a high-grade martial art would conservatively cost thousands of spirit stones.

"Spirit stones are a problem!" Jing Yan sighed inwardly.

"Hmm?"

"Right, why didn't I think of another shortcut to earn spirit stones?" Jing Yan thought for a long time about how to quickly earn spirit stones, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head.

With Jing Yan's current strength, going to the Blackstone Mountains is certainly a good way to earn spirit stones. However, Jing Yan doesn't have much time. He could earn thousands of spirit stones in a month in the Blackstone Mountains, but Jing Yan can't wait. Moreover, thousands of spirit stones might be far from enough.

As for obtaining spirit stones from the family treasury, that's not even worth thinking about. Even if he could get some spirit stones, it wouldn't be endless, and it would also make him owe the family a favor.

With a slight smile on his lips, Jing Yan left his small courtyard.

"Master Jing Yan, are you going out?" The guard at the courtyard gate greeted Jing Yan.

"Yes, I'm going out to take care of some business. Brother Guard, thank you for your hard work," Jing Yan said with a smile.

"No problem, Master is too polite," the guard also smiled.

In the Jing family, there are very few masters like Jing Yan who are not arrogant.

The guards of the Jing family are generally outsiders, not members of the Jing family. Most are hired, and some are trained from a young age by the Jing family. These guards, especially those who are personal guards to high-ranking figures, have higher status and, of course, higher strength.

Jing Yan's politeness naturally made the guard feel comfortable.

"Brother Jing Yan, I heard you are going to fight Jing Tianlong in the family competition?"

As Jing Yan was walking, several Jing family descendants came over to greet him.

"You all know?" Jing Yan was slightly taken aback.

"It seems to be true. We thought it was a rumor. Brother Jing Yan, why did you agree to Jing Tianlong's challenge? There's less than three months left!" This Jing family descendant also had a conflict with Jing Tianlong's lineage, so he was on Jing Yan's side.

"Brother Jing Yan, you don't know, the whole Jing family knows now."

"Jing Tianlong and his people are too arrogant. They all say Brother Jing Yan will definitely be given a severe lesson."

Several people chattered.

Jing Yan's face darkened slightly, then he said, "Don't worry about this matter. Who will win or lose is still uncertain."

Currently, almost everyone in the Jing family is indeed talking about this matter.

Jing Tianlong's intention is to put pressure on Jing Yan.

To make everyone pay attention to the upcoming battle. The more pressure Jing Yan bears, the greater the impact will be if he is defeated.

"Despicable scoundrel." Jing Yan's eyes flashed with cold light, "Jing Tianlong, I will make you suffer the consequences of your actions! I hope you won't regret your current behavior!"
