Chapter ( 25 )

Zhen Chen returned home, took a shower, and changed his clothes. After that, he sat in a lotus position and began practicing the art of shadow stepping. He started circulating energy through his meridians according to the training method. Through the intricate blue crystal threads in his veins, energy continuously flowed into the first two meridian points.

As the energy circulation sped up, Zhen Chen's body slowly began to rise into the air. When he focused his mind, he noticed an energy field forming around him, similar to a magnetic field. This field automatically repelled the ground, causing him to float in the air. He finally understood what Yu Xue Yin had mentioned about the energy field. The field only extended about ten meters around him.

When Zhen Chen increased the speed of the energy circulation, the energy field expanded to twelve meters. He then infused energy into the remaining two meridian points, bringing the total number of activated meridian points to four. The energy field now extended up to a hundred meters.

Zhen Chen stood up slowly, still floating in the air. As he moved forward slightly, he shot forward at an incredible speed, crashing into the door.

"Boom!!!"

"Ah... it's gone!"

Zhen Chen had burst through the closed door, leaving a human-sized hole. He stood outside, staring at the hole with a puzzled expression. Just then, Yu Xue Yin's voice came from behind him.

"What's going on, Chen?"

She looked at the hole in the door, stunned.

"This is..."

Zhen Chen approached her and whispered, "I accidentally did it without realizing."

An elderly woman from the next room came out to see what had happened and asked in surprise, "Young man, did a burglar break into your house?"

Zhen Chen shook his head. "I don't know, ma'am. I'll call someone to fix the door."

He took out his phone and called the apartment maintenance to repair the door. Then, he invited Yu Xue Yin inside.

"Please sit down, Xue Yin. It might take a while for the repairman to arrive."

Yu Xue Yin handed him a set of keys and said, "These are the keys to a vacation home I bought last year. The GPS in the car is already set. You drive, and I'll go into the training space. When we reach the vacation home, you can join me inside."

Zhen Chen looked at her and asked, "Really? I didn't know you were so obsessed with training."

Yu Xue Yin pinched his ear and said, "Stop talking nonsense. You'll have to wait here. I can't just sit around. Hurry up and send me into the training space."

Zhen Chen shook his head and contacted Zimo, sending Yu Xue Yin into the training space.

After the repairmen arrived and replaced the door, Zhen Chen finally left. The two keys Yu Xue Yin had given him were for the car and the house. As soon as he got into her car, he could smell her fragrance.

"Ah... the things beautiful women use always smell so nice."

As he drove according to the GPS, Zhen Chen suddenly remembered something and headed to a mountain temple first.

When he arrived at the temple and went to the west side of the mountain, he didn't find the small pond and flowers he had expected. Zhen Chen took out the jade tablet given by the young monk and examined it.

However, nothing seemed unusual. When he sent some of his energy into the jade tablet, it began to glow, and the formation inside activated.

Suddenly, the scene before him changed, and the familiar pond and flowers reappeared.

As Zhen Chen walked towards the pond, the young monk came out of the temple building.

Zhen Chen bowed and greeted him. The young monk looked at Zhen Chen with wide eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.

"What's wrong, Venerable? Is there something wrong with me?"

The young monk stared at Zhen Chen as if he were some strange creature and slowly said, "Donor Zhen, is this the stage of energy condensation? How did this happen... how..."

Zhen Chen understood. The young monk was shocked by his rapid progress.

Zhen Chen sat down on a stone bench and explained, "My bloodline has partially awakened, which allowed me to advance. I'm still not entirely sure about the situation myself. I've advanced so quickly that it's hard to control, and I'm not used to it yet."

He then showed the young monk a picture of a medicinal plant on his phone and asked, "Do you know this plant? It's related to a secret organization. Are there any groups in the cultivation world that study medicinal plants?"

The young monk looked at the picture and shook his head. "I don't know this plant. If what you say is true, almost every organization in the cultivation world studies medicinal plants, so it's hard to say. If you want to investigate further, you'll need more specific information."

Zhen Chen nodded and said, "I understand. Could you tell me which are the most powerful organizations in the cultivation world?"

"Alright. You should know that the top organizations in the cultivation world rarely interact with ordinary people. These organizations are usually led by individuals at the Earth Formation level. The major sects include the Misty Spirit Sect, the Western Tathagata Temple, the Red Blood Demon Sect, the Black Blood Demon Sect, the Light Valley Sect, the Sacred Island, the Ten Thousand Caves Sect, the Beast Lord Sect, the Asura Flame Sect, and the Demon Slayer Sect. There are also smaller sects and rogue cultivators who don't belong to any organization. The major sects and organizations don't have much contact with ordinary humans."

"That's why I don't think the secret organization you mentioned is one of these major sects. In fact, there are powerful organizations from other worlds that we don't know about. But their activities are too secretive, so ordinary cultivators wouldn't know about them."

Zhen Chen sighed and said, "Thank you for explaining, Venerable. I have to go now. I'll come back when I have time."

"Alright, donor. I'll be here. You can come anytime."

After bidding farewell to the young monk, Zhen Chen drove to Yu Xue Yin's vacation home.

Given the current situation, it was difficult to track down the secret cultivation organization. The only option left was to meet them in person.

"If they find out I'm a Chosen One, will they give me face? If so, maybe I can mediate for Sister Xue Yin. I can only hope that the secret organization will help this little Chosen One."​
