On the path of cultivation, there are many troubles.
How to find a suitable treasure land for cultivation is a worry, and the daily harassment of the Fourth Princess is another worry.
Because the Fourth Princess visits too frequently, every time Chen An is about to finish his cultivation, he has to stop.
Fortunately, as time passed, Chen An also adapted to it.
In some aspects, the Fourth Princess is also quite sensible.
Most of the time, she just sits quietly on the side watching Chen An cultivate and does not disturb him.
Until Chen An stops, then she would smile and pounce into Chen An's arms.
Since the last time, the Fourth Princess seems to have let loose a bit, and she always likes to pounce into Chen An's arms when there is no one around, who knows where she learned it from.
Even though the strict gender segregation in this world is not as serious, this behavior is considered quite intimate even in the past life.
It feels like the situation is getting more and more out of hand.
Time passes bit by bit.
After a few more months, news came from the Third Prince again.
It seems like there has finally been progress on the treasure land.
It is a place not far from Shengjing, a treasure land controlled by the royal family.
In the past, only royal family members were qualified to enter and cultivate there.
The Third Prince went to great lengths to obtain a quota and squeezed Chen An in.
Naturally, Chen An was overjoyed.
In these few months, the internal qi in his body has been growing continuously, but he still couldn't touch the door, unable to sense the congenital qi inside his body, and has already waited for a considerable period of time.
Now that the answer has arrived, of course, he is overjoyed.
So he asked for a long vacation from the Fourth Princess and then quietly left Shengjing.
Except for a few people, no one paid attention to his departure.
During the previous period, Chen An has been keeping a low profile, reading in the Imperial Academy every day, rarely appearing outside.
Even his contact with the Third Prince was very discreet and unknown to outsiders.
In this situation, other than those few people, who would be concerned about his actions?
"Is this the place?"
In a cave, everywhere was filled with white crystal.
It looks like there are many mined ores everywhere.
From the surface, this should be a large mine?
This also counts as a treasure land?
Chen An looked at Cheng Zheng with some doubt, his attitude was very obvious, he almost asked if he was in the wrong place.
"Cough."
Facing Chen An's gaze, Cheng Zheng seemed a little embarrassed, could only cough twice, and then said, "Yes, this is it.'
"Changan, although this place seems ordinary, inside it is like a hidden paradise."
"Although it looks ordinary here, inside it is like a hidden paradise."
"This place, without my imperial father's permission, even the Duke of Chen Guo would not be able to enter without authorization."
"Is that so?"
Hearing Cheng Zheng say this, although Chen An still had some doubts, he could only reluctantly believe it.
There was a guide who came specially to guide them and was now standing beside them, ready to lead them.
After a short while, the group went down.
Upon entering, Chen An quickly felt that something was off.
After entering this area, the internal qi in Chen An's body began to accelerate, becoming more active.
Is it starting to work?
Chen An wondered.
Although it is a treasure land, the speed of this effect seems a bit too fast.
Is it supposed to be like this in a treasure land?
He thought to himself.
The cave in front of him is very deep, with winding passages all around, which appears quite twisted.
The surrounding light is also dim, only faint torchlight illuminating the surroundings, barely able to see the place clearly.
From the outside, where does it look like a treasure land, it's clearly just a mine!
If the person who brought him here was someone else instead of Cheng Zheng, Chen An would have doubted whether he was tricked into a mine and would be buried alive here or forced to mine for a lifetime.
There were many scenarios like this in the past life.
Of course, Chen An still trusted Cheng Zheng.
Cheng Zheng had no reason to harm him.
But for this place, Chen An wasn't so confident.
"My lord."
Walking through a passage and looking around, Chen An couldn't help but ask, "Will this place collapse?"
"It shouldn't, right?"
Cheng Zheng also had some doubts, just looking around, and finally could only say so.
In any case, this is a treasure land exclusively for the royal family, so it shouldn't be so unreliable, right?
However, he was soon proven wrong.
"Of course it will collapse!"
The guide walked alongside them and said, "How could a mine not collapse?"
It really is a mine!
Chen An and Cheng Zheng looked at each other, not knowing what to say at this moment.
"Originally, this place was a mine, but later it was discovered to be a good place for cultivation, so it was transformed."
The guide explained.
According to him, this was a mine that was transformed, with traces of past mining all around.
As for collapses or anything like that, it seems that they do occasionally occur due to different reasons, but the impact is not significant.
When the Great Hua Emperor controlled this place, he had considered these issues, so the place was renovated, and many stable passages were opened up.
As long as all the passages don't collapse at once, then it wouldn't be a big problem.
"What if all the passages collapse at once?"
After a moment of silence, Chen An asked again.
"Then you're out of luck."
The guide shook his head and said so.
Chen An fell silent.
The group continued forward in silence and eventually found a spot.
"Speaking of which, no one has been here in a long time."
The guide smiled and showed his white teeth, "If you hadn't come this time, I almost thought this place had been forgotten."
Cheng Zheng and Chen An couldn't help but look at each other again with these words.
"The times have changed."
The guide continued to explain, "In the past few decades, this was considered a good place for cultivation, but for some reason, maybe because too many people came here to cultivate, or for other reasons, the cultivation effect here has been deteriorating."
"So later on, fewer and fewer people came here to cultivate."
The guide explained the reasons, then told Chen An a few things, and turned to leave.
"Changan, remember to be careful here, if anything happens, come out immediately, your safety first."
Cheng Zheng also reminded carefully, asking Chen An to be careful.
It seemed like he was afraid that Chen An would linger here and increase the danger, so he added, "It was my negligence this time, Changan, rest assured, I will find you a few other places later, that should be fine too."
"This place won't do, we'll find another place."
He earnestly instructed, seemingly afraid that Chen An would stubbornly stay here.
"Your Highness, I understand."
Chen An smiled, indicating that he understood.
After that, Cheng Zheng and the guide left first.
Chen An was left alone in the spot where he was.
Of course, before the guide left, he left a considerable amount of water and food.
However, staying in this place for so long, even without accidents, he would probably starve to death.
"Let's see how it goes next."
Chen An looked around and muttered to himself.
Then he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and silently circulated his internal qi.
The internal qi in his body was rapidly circulating.
Since entering this place, he could feel that the internal qi in his body was becoming more active, as if it was influenced to a certain extent, becoming more active.
A sense of inexplicable heat surged from within, making Chen An somewhat uncomfortable.
But Chen An was not in a panic, he was even somewhat surprised.
Because these manifestations indicated that the effect here was good.
Under the influence and blessing of this unique environment, the congenital qi in his body was becoming clearer, something that Chen An could easily feel.
That something that was originally invisible and intangible now seemed to have a specific form, which he could truly sense to some extent.
Of course, it was only a sensation.
There was still a long way to go before he could freely manipulate it.
But Chen An was not anxious at all.
He still had plenty of time, and there was no need to rush.
Time passed slowly.
Half a month quickly passed by.
Chen An sat quietly in the same spot, being able to clearly feel his progress.
During the past half month, the internal qi in his body did not increase, but his sensitivity to another force became clearer.
He had a real feeling now.
At this level, he had already made some progress.
But this effect was only present in this special environment.
If he were to change the environment, by the time Chen An left, his sensitivity to the congenital qi would greatly weaken, or even disappear.
That's just the way it is.
Pondering the congenital qi required such a demanding environment.
Without an environment containing innate essence, it was too difficult to achieve.
Chen An continued to work hard.
The congenital qi in his body was circulating according to a certain rhythm but was already being influenced by Chen An to some extent.
And this influence was based on what?
It seemed to be a person's will?
Unlike the circulation of internal qi, the circulation of congenital qi could not be accurately controlled, only influenced by the individual's will to a certain extent.
This perhaps was why people believed that advancing to the Qi Condensation stage required a firm martial will.
But Chen An felt that describing it purely as will was not quite accurate.
Because he didn't feel that his willpower was particularly strong, yet he could easily influence the flow and circulation of congenital qi.
At this moment, Chen An thought of something.
In addition to strength and physique, his attribute panel also had a "god" attribute.
In the past, Chen An was always unsure of the use of this "god" attribute.
But now, he couldn't help but speculate about the connection between this attribute and his current situation.
