**Chapter 41: Stop Pretending and Get Down to Business.**
"Xiao Chen, have a good rest. I've almost understood your situation."
"The Purple Cloud Divine Light Technique has been popularized throughout the Immortal Alliance for hundreds of years, but only a few people can practice it to perfection, which shows how difficult it is to master this technique."
"You were able to cultivate this technique to such a high level in such a short period. This is enough to demonstrate your comprehension and the high degree of compatibility between you and this technique."
"Not only does it improve your qualifications, but it also repairs the foundation that was damaged."
"This is how your qualifications have been greatly enhanced in a short period."
"It just so happened that you ran into the Black Lotus Cult's affairs, which led to Bailing mistakenly thinking that you were a pawn planted by the Black Lotus Cult in Jiangnan City."
"But this time, you turned a disaster into a blessing. You broke through to the seventh level of the Qi gathering stage in a desperate situation."
"It shows that you have been practicing diligently and have accumulated a wealth of experience."
"Don't worry about the school. I've already contacted them for you. Just rest and recover here with Uncle Tian."
"I won't say any more. I'm going downstairs to get busy. After all, I'm the only one in this noodle shop, and it won't run smoothly without me."
"Okay, Uncle Tian, take care."
After Yu Tianqi left, Su Chen looked at the Black Dragon Sword placed on the bedside.
It must be said that this sword is not only gorgeous but also dark and mysterious all over.
The sword is covered with dragon-scale-like patterns that extend to the hilt.
Even though it was just lying quietly in the wooden box, Su Chen could still feel its extraordinary nature.
For some unknown reason, Su Chen reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword.
The next second, the originally calm Black Dragon Sword began to vibrate.
Then Su Chen felt a sharp pain in his palm, and bright red blood flowed out.
It spread from the hilt to the entire sword, causing the originally dim Black Dragon Sword to emit a mysterious black ink light.
When the light faded, Su Chen raised the Black Dragon Sword in his hand with a complicated expression.
Because, just now, he not only gained the recognition of the Black Dragon Sword but also obtained a lot of information about this sword and understood its function.
"Using blood as ink and the sword as a pen... As long as enough blood and ink are absorbed, this sword will be able to grow infinitely."
"Moreover, this sword can also imprison the soul of the person who killed it and turn it into a spirit for the sword holder to control."
"The only drawback is that the black spirit originally imprisoned in the sword has long since dissipated. Everything has to start all over again."
"But even so, the value of this sword is incomparable to that of ordinary spiritual swords."
"What's even more incredible is that there are twelve spiritual swords like this in the Mountain and Sea Division. They are indeed an organization that has been standing for thousands of years."
After sighing, Su Chen used the sword technique to transform the Black Dragon Sword into a black ring, which he placed on the index finger of his right hand so that he could use it at any time.
After doing all this, Su Chen took out his cell phone.
Although he had been in a coma for three days, Cultivation of Immortality is a game that can be played idly.
When Su Chen is not controlling the game, the characters will act according to the originally set idle content.
The idle content set by Su Chen is cultivation.
Therefore, during the three days when he was not in control, the character in the game had been practicing seriously.
One day in reality is equivalent to ten days in the game.
This means that the character in the game has been practicing for a full month.
"I hope that this sudden improvement in my cultivation level won't have too much of an impact on the game."
Because the situation was urgent at the time, Su Chen had to put all his experience into cultivation.
This enabled his cultivation to instantly improve to the seventh level of Qi gathering in a short period.
His situation in reality can certainly be explained as the result of years of hard work.
His character in the game, however, is not so easy to explain...

"It's hard to hide the matter of cultivation and spiritual root aptitude. Fortunately, I considered this situation in advance and have sufficient countermeasures."
That's right. Long before entering Danyang Peak, Su Chen had already thought about what he should do if the fact that his spiritual root aptitude had suddenly improved was exposed.
His plan was very simple: to tell the story of his 'damage to his spiritual roots in his early years' and 'practicing the Purple Cloud Divine Light Technique' to recover.
As for whether his lies would be exposed, Su Chen was not worried at all. Because, in a sense, everything he said was true.
Even if the mighty ones of Qingyun Sect were extraordinarily powerful, they would never be able to expose this special lie, which is 'half true.'
As for how to explain the origin of the Purple Cloud Divine Light Technique, Su Chen had already thought about it.
Just say that he bought it from the treasure house at the foot of the mountain.
After all, in the game, he had indeed visited the treasure house at the foot of the mountain in his early years, so it would not be a problem for Qingyun Sect to investigate him.
As for whether what he said was a lie, it was both true and untrue.
It's just that the treasure pavilion he mentioned is slightly different from the treasure pavilion understood by others.
And this is the highest level of lying: using the truth to weave lies.
He is telling the truth; how can they claim he is lying?
Thinking of this, Su Chen simply controlled his mobile phone character to leave the cave.
Since he couldn't hide it anymore, he might as well use this opportunity to enhance his status in the elders' eyes at Danyang Peak.
A genius with outstanding talent in alchemy and an extremely high aptitude for cultivation.
If he just wanted to switch to a thousand-year-old spiritual lotus to practice, it shouldn't be a difficult task, right?
Qingyun Sect, Danyang Peak.
"Junior Brother Su, are you looking for me?"
"Wait a minute, Junior Brother Su, your cultivation level..."
Ji Chang was stunned when he saw Su Chen, whose cultivation level had improved by three levels in just two months.
That's right, the first time Ji Chang met Su Chen was during a mock exam.
On the third day after the mock exam, Su Chen brought Lu Xiaoye to Uncle Tian's place for dinner.
Including the three days he was in a coma afterward.
The last time he encountered Ji Chang in the game was sixty days ago, which is two months.
At that time, his cultivation level was only at the fourth level of the Qi gathering stage.
In just two months, he advanced from the fourth level of the Qi gathering stage to the seventh level. This speed of training is not considered incredible in the Qingyun Sect.
Because many inner disciples or true disciples of the Qingyun Sect can achieve this feat.
But Su Chen's cultivation speed was truly outstanding among the outer disciples!
How could Ji Chang not be shocked?
No, Junior Brother Su, with such talent for cultivation, why were you assigned to be a servant disciple?
Are all the people who are taking the sect assessment blind?
"Brother Ji, has Master Linghuo Taoist returned from his travels? I have something I want to discuss with Master."
Taoist Linghuo was the master who accepted Su Chen as his registered disciple.
The past is the past, and the present is the present.
Ji Chang had a feeling that Su Chen might be able to make a leap forward and ascend to new heights on this trip.
Who knows, after today, he might start calling Su Chen "Su Zhenchuan."
Thinking of this, Ji Chang looked at Su Chen with a complicated expression, then nodded and said, "Master just returned from Yuxu Mountain some time ago and is now in Danyang Peak. I will take you there."
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Ji Chang could not help but turn around and say, "Junior Brother Su, when you see Master later, remember to say a few good words for me."
"OK."
After receiving Su Chen's reply, Ji Chang happily summoned his fairy boat.
"Brother Su, come up. I will take you to see the master."
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
"You're welcome. Remember to say a few nice words for me!"
"Don't worry, I won't forget."
