My dreams can simulate the future.

Chapter 80 Rumors Are Flying Everywhere

Worried about any underhanded tactics, Jiang Chen headed straight for the residence at the foot of Iron Case Mountain after leaving Stone Mill Peak.

Upon returning to the mansion, he immediately went into the training room in the backyard and began practicing the Great Dream Thousand Autumns Technique.

He began to circulate the energy according to the practice method described in the manual.

As soon as I started using it, I found the technique to be extremely obscure and the flow of magical power was not smooth.

In order to channel his magical power, he exhausted a great deal of his spiritual energy, leaving him extremely fatigued.

He worked until dusk before finally managing to circulate the technique once, but the refined magical power dissipated completely from his meridians.

"It seems this cultivation technique isn't very compatible with me. If I can't master it, so be it. I still have the Jade Cauldron Pure Yuan Technique; the minor bottleneck at the sixth level of Qi Refining won't hold me back for too long."

"Since things have come to this, let's focus on regaining our senses first."

Thinking of this, he immediately sat down and began to circulate the Nourishing Spirit Technique to restore his consciousness.

Before long, he lay down on the bed and fell fast asleep.

Strangely, the magical power within his body began to circulate on its own.

[The second day of the dream]

Early that morning, Jiang Chen opened his eyes and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

I haven't slept for nearly twenty years, but I actually fell asleep today and even had a dream, though I can't remember what it was about now.

I entered a dream using the Butterfly Dream Painting, and ended up dreaming while asleep. Could this be considered a dream within a dream?

Leaving the training room, Jiang Chen looked at the rising sun in the east and was somewhat bewildered.

"Yesterday, when I was meditating to regain my consciousness, it was still dusk, and I slept soundly until dawn!"

Yesterday I failed to cultivate the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns Technique; today I'll try cultivating the Jade Cauldron Pure Essence Technique.

He focused his mind on his middle dantian, trying to condense the Jade Cauldron Pure Yuan Spirit Seed, and immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, why did one wisp of my stabilizing magic turn into a ghostly blue? And another wisp of grayish-white magic, with a few ghostly blue specks of light."

Jiang Chen is currently at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and his main cultivation technique is the Hunyuan Nourishing Body Technique. The magical power he cultivates is grayish-white.

The presence of two types of magical power within the body indicates either that the practitioner is revising their cultivation method and refining their magical power.

Either the cultivation method is special, allowing one to cultivate two different kinds of magical power.

"Could it be that I mastered the Great Dream Thousand Autumns Technique while I was sleeping last night? All this magical power is caused by switching cultivation methods?"

Before falling asleep, I barely managed to complete one cycle of the cultivation technique, and the refined magical power was almost non-existent, far from enough to completely refine even a wisp of magical power.

It seems that in my dream, I activated the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns Technique on my own, refining my original magical power.

"In just one night, a wisp of magical power can be completely refined. This speed of refining magical power is much faster than the Primordial Chaos Nourishing Technique I cultivated before."

Yesterday afternoon I circulated my cultivation technique once, but the amount of magical power I refined was negligible. After sleeping all night, the effect was surprisingly good.

The description of the technique wasn't exaggerating; it's true that this technique is more effective when practiced in one's dreams.

"After a night of practice, I've become much more proficient with this technique. I wonder what the effects will be if I practice while awake."

Thinking of this, he immediately began to circulate his cultivation technique.

Fifteen minutes later, he had completed the entire exercise.

Although it's still not very smooth, I can now refine mana normally, and the refining speed is much faster than the Hunyuan Nourishing Body Technique.

Cultivation is faster in dreams; I should be able to fully convert my magical power very quickly.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen spent several more hours drawing talismans before entering his dream again.

……

[Seventh day in the dream]

Early that morning, Jiang Chen woke up from his dream.

He quickly looked inward at his dantian and found that the six strands of stable magic power had turned into a dark blue color.

Moreover, his body did not react at all when he was practicing the technique.

This situation indicates that his body has become accustomed to the new magical power.

At this point, the modification of the cultivation method is complete.

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "I've completed my change of cultivation method; next, I'll cultivate the Jade Cauldron Pure Yuan Technique."

He immediately drew out some of his magical power from the stable magical power and gathered it together.

Then, following the instructions in the Jade Cauldron Pure Yuan Technique, he used his divine sense to guide this part of the magical power to continuously change its form.

Several hours later, he finally condensed the magic power into the shape of a round cauldron with three legs and two handles.

However, this round tripod is only the size of a soybean.

"The Jade Cauldron Pure Yuan Spirit Seed has taken shape. I want to see how effective this thing is at purifying mana."

Then, he activated a secret technique. Strands of dark blue light flew out from the stable magic power and merged into the spirit seed.

A moment later, a stream of dark blue light flew out from the spirit seed. This light was brighter than before, indicating that it had become purer.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen's face was full of joy.

"The refining effect is so good! If I were to cultivate myself slowly and raise my magic power to this level, it would take at least half a year of arduous training."

Just as he was about to continue refining his magical power, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Chen released his divine sense to investigate and found that the person who came was Qi Tingsong, who had come to the sect with him by boat before.

He was also carrying a gift box, clearly there to give a gift.

He immediately opened the door and welcomed him into the main house.

"Senior Brother Qi, what brings you here in person?"

Qi Tingsong placed the gift box on the table: "Senior Brother Jiang, you really hid it well!"

Jiang Chen was completely confused: "What does this mean? What did I hide?"

Qi Tingsong sighed, "Li Cheng really has a keen eye! He saw through your extraordinary status early on, took the initiative to curry favor with you, and even married his younger sister to your childhood friend Hou Ming."

Jiang Chen scratched the back of his head, wondering to himself: "Could it be that my identity as a transmigrator has been exposed?"

But that doesn't make sense. If it were about status, at least a Core Formation cultivator should have come to fabricate this against me. What's the meaning of Qi Tingsong coming to deliver a gift?

"Explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened?"

Qi Tingsong laughed and said, "The fact that you are the illegitimate son of Master Tiejian has already spread like wildfire within the sect, so you shouldn't hide it from me anymore."

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief: 'So my identity as a transmigrator hasn't been exposed. If it had, the trouble would have been immense.'

He still looked puzzled: "Who spread this rumor? Master Tiejian must be at least several hundred years old, while my grandfather is only in his eighties."

You're also from Blackstone Mountain Market, so you must have met my grandfather. My grandfather and I look at least four or five points alike.

"My grandfather, who's over eighty years old, could possibly give me a father who's hundreds of years old?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tingsong also felt that it was not quite reasonable: "It is indeed not quite right. I have also met Master Jiang, and you two do look somewhat alike. He should be your biological grandfather."

Could it be that Master Tiejian is your great-grandfather or an even earlier ancestor?

Seeing that Qi Tingsong was still spouting nonsense, Jiang Chen felt helpless: "My grandfather never told me any of this. Tell me where you heard this rumor from."

Qi Tingsong replied without hesitation, "About five days ago, I heard about this from my uncle."

He joined the neutral faction, and his master was related to the direct line, so he was well-informed.

This news has been spreading like wildfire for the past two days, and everyone in the sect, regardless of their faction, should know about it.

"Master Iron Sword even gave you a special jade talisman for communication. I've heard that only his disciples and high-ranking Foundation Establishment managers can receive this talisman."
