Chapter 761: Chapter 287: Breakthrough in Magic Cultivation and the Moving Strange Wind

His Range of Divine Sense, which had originally spanned a radius of 103 li, immediately expanded to 110 li.

The increase wasn’t particularly significant.

This was mainly because Xiao Chen’s Divine Sense had already been strengthened when he broke through to the Late-stage Golden Core realm as a Body Cultivator.

This breakthrough simply brought him up to speed, closing the gap to where a Magic Cultivator’s Divine Sense was supposed to be.

Even so, compared to the ninety-li Range of Divine Sense of a typical Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator, Xiao Chen could be said to have gained a considerable lead.

His Qi Blood had also increased slightly.

However, this small increase was considered minor even for a Magic Cultivator.

For Xiao Chen, whose Qi Blood was already exceptionally abundant, the change was practically unnoticeable.

That part of the process was completed almost instantly.

’So, that’s it? I succeeded?’

Even after the breakthrough was over, Xiao Chen was still in a bit of a daze. ’Yeah, I guess I succeeded.’

’So, both attempts felt pretty much the same. Where exactly did I go wrong before?’

He wanted to take advantage of his fresh success to reflect on the experience.

However, he sat there racking his brain for a long time.

In the end, he could only come to one conclusion: ’The Dao Crystal is a wonderful thing, especially when paired with a Purple Gold Bodhi Fruit.’

Say what you will, it was still a lesson learned through practice.

At least the next time Xiao Chen prepared to break through a bottleneck, he could use a Dao Crystal beforehand and then make his attempt.

It felt a bit like he was becoming reliant on Spiritual Objects.

But these were resources he had obtained through his own efforts. Nothing wrong with that!

WHOOOOSH! SWISH!

Basking in the joy of his breakthrough, Xiao Chen deactivated the array. He hadn’t even pushed the door open when he heard a gale howling outside.

’You’re kidding me. Hasn’t it stopped yet?’

Counting the first two days of cultivation, plus the two breakthrough attempts and comprehending the Dao Crystal, several days should have passed.

How was it that the wind outside hadn’t weakened in the slightest?

By now, Xiao Chen should have already been able to get his Rank-Breaking Spirit Pill.

He went outside and found an inn attendant. "What day is it today?"

The attendant immediately answered, "Sir, today is the third day of the first month. It should be 7:00 PM right now."

Because Cultivators often go into seclusion to meditate, they sometimes get too focused and forget the time.

So, the inn frequently received similar inquiries.

Many attendants made a point to memorize the current time so they could provide timely and accurate answers, down to the very hour, for their esteemed guests.

"The third already, huh? Alright, you can go."

Xiao Chen casually tossed over a Spirit Stone as a tip.

He was immediately rewarded with the attendant’s most sincere thanks: "Thank you, Sir! Thank you, Sir!"

Braving the gale, he went to the Spiritual Communication Pavilion again.

Xiao Chen found the manager and asked, "Is there any news about the gale now?"

The manager immediately nodded, picked up a report, and handed it over. "This news just came in yesterday. One copy is just one Spirit Stone."

Many people would be interested in this information, so the Spiritual Communication Pavilion was opting for a low-profit, high-volume sales strategy.

Xiao Chen immediately took it and had a look.

It stated that according to the calculations of three Divination Masters, this abnormal gale was nothing more than a migratory, anomalous wind.

It was a type of minor disaster, nothing to be overly concerned about.

They predicted that the gale would next move from Tingtao Market toward the Cloud Sea Sword Pavilion.

The wind in the Marketplace should die down in three days at the earliest, or five days at the latest.

However, the gale itself was expected to last for a long time.

Reading between the lines, Xiao Chen could tell that the three Divination Masters were rather optimistic and didn’t think the wind was a problem.

’I hope that’s really the case!’

Fortunately, since it wouldn’t have a major impact on the Marketplace, it was unlikely to delay his Spirit Pill.

Four days later, on the fifth day mentioned in the intelligence report, the gale finally dissipated from Tinglang Market. Although it left a layer of dust behind, a long-awaited calm finally returned.

Xiao Chen patiently waited for another two days.

On the morning of the third day, before the sky was fully bright, he set out early and rushed to the alley where Alchemist Geng lived.
