Chapter 339 Warring States Leading the Way
When Chen Guan stepped onto the floating island, he immediately felt that the surrounding spiritual energy had suddenly become many times more concentrated, which was simply unimaginable.

Chen Guan activated the secret technique of the first method, and immediately felt the surrounding vital energy surging into his body like a raging river, which was even more effective than the pills he usually took.

The vital energy here is not only abundant, but its purity and quality are on a completely different level from other places.

Chen Guan immediately realized the reason: "This is the primordial energy coming from the grotto-heaven..."

Back then, Longhu Mountain was suppressed by that thing and fell into the grotto-heaven, landing on the land of China. The high-level primordial energy from the grotto-heaven overflowed, forming the blessed land of Longhu Mountain as it is today.

The vital energy of the two mountains was thus diluted and thinned out, making them not much different from ordinary blessed lands and secret mirrors.

This is why the Dragon and Tiger clans must return to the cave heaven. In such a place, they have no way to cultivate, their strength will only regress instead of improve, and their descendants will become weaker with each generation.

If they cannot return to the grotto, they will eventually become ordinary blessed land spirits.

Only where this strange object exists does some of the primordial energy of the cave remain, and due to the suppression of the strange object, it has not been diluted or escaped.

This vital energy is merely a drop in the ocean for the Dragon and Tiger clans, who are hidden spirits in their own grottoes; it is of little use whatsoever.

However, for Chen Guan, a mere second-level awakening nobody, this primordial energy from the cave was undoubtedly a great tonic.

When the others arrived here, they were already at the peak of the third awakening stage, just one step away from entering the cave heaven. At that time, there was no need for them to absorb more primordial energy.

Chen Guan is the first person to arrive here before even reaching the peak of the second awakening stage.

Yang Hu, Fu Tianji, and Zhang Chunxiang are at least at the peak of the second awakening stage. Before they reach the third awakening stage, Yuan Qi is of little use to them.

Chen Guan activated the secret technique of the First Realm, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy of the cave. This stuff was second only to the Blood Spirit Mushroom given to him by the Immortal Ancestor, and was much stronger than ordinary pills.

"This is so great..." Chen Guan finally felt the thrill of his energy rapidly increasing again.

If it weren't for the worry that Fu Tianji and the others would take that thing, Chen Guan would really like to stay here and cultivate, quickly raising his level.

There was only one mountain here, shrouded in mist. After pondering for a moment, Chen Guan felt that the thing was most likely on the mountain.

Because Zhang Chunxiang was in their hands, Chen Guan was afraid that if they discovered him, Fu Tianji would use Zhang Chunxiang to threaten him, so he did not summon the Ghost-Eyed Python as a mount. Instead, he took Zhan Guo and carefully made his way up the mountain.

"Don't make a sound, let's go up quietly," Chen Guan instructed Zhan Guo, who had made the noise.

Zhan Guo understood Chen Guan's meaning and stopped yelling, but he bit Chen Guan's pants and tried to pull him in one direction.

Chen Guan's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that Zhan Guo remembers Fu Tianji and the others' scent, and is he going to lead the way for me?"

He quickly followed Sengoku, who indeed loosened his grip and led the way.

After running with Zhan Guo for a while, the two reached the foot of the mountain. Zhan Guo ran up the mountain without hesitation, which made Chen Guan even more certain of his guess.

"If I had known that Zhan Guo could track Fu Tianji and the others' scent, I wouldn't have made things so difficult for Kuang Liu," Chen Guan thought to himself.

This mountain isn't particularly high, but it's incredibly unique. Its shape resembles a ladder to the heavens, with one peak after another, all connected to each other, creating a continuous stream of spectacular scenery. Strange flowers and exotic plants even appear and disappear amidst the clouds and mist.

After wandering around the mountains for half a day, the Warring States period finally stopped halfway up a mountain.

Because of the cloud cover, Chen Guan couldn't see the path at all and could only follow Zhan Guo as he waded through the clouds. At this moment, Zhan Guo stopped, and Chen Guan swept his hand across the area. The airflow stirred up the surrounding clouds, and he discovered that this place was actually a stone platform halfway up a mountain.

The stone platform is neither touching the sky nor the ground; there is a cliff in front and a sheer drop behind, with no way to go at all.

"Could it be that there's some kind of mechanism here? Did Fu Tianji and the others go inside the mountain wall?" Chen Guan examined the mountain wall but found no mechanism.

Just as I was wondering, I saw Sengoku lower his head and take a bite of something in the mist, then wag his tail wildly with joy.

Chen Guan was a little confused. He walked over and swept away the clouds to take a look. He saw that there were many mushrooms that looked like chicken leg mushrooms growing on the stone. Zhan Guo was eating them one by one and spinning them around.

Chen Guan was immediately speechless, realizing he had made a huge mistake. He had thought this guy was going to take him to find Fu Tianji, but it turned out he was just being led to find food.

"Damn it, you glutton! What time is it? All you ever think about is eating!" Chen Guan was speechless but helpless.

But then I thought about it again and realized that something was not right.

This thing grows on a sacred mountain; how did the Warring States period know that such a thing existed here?

Moreover, Zhan Guo spent his entire life by Chen Guan's side, yet Chen Guan had never seen this kind of fungus before. How did he know that such a thing existed?

No matter how sensitive its nose is, it still needs to know that such a thing exists before it can find it.

“Unless this guy from the Warring States period ate this thing before, but I don’t remember it eating this kind of thing. Could it be that when the tiger was teaching it the way of the tiger, it fed it this kind of fungus?” Chen Guan couldn’t help but examine the fungus carefully.

They look similar to chicken leg mushrooms, but these mushrooms appear snow-white, though they are actually transparent and filled with white mist, which is why they look snow-white.

After spinning around in a few mushrooms, Zhan Guo Kuang lay motionless on the ground, his entire body emitting white smoke.

To Chen Guan's surprise, the white smoke was actually overflowing vital energy.

"Is this kind of chicken leg mushroom really that nutritious?" Chen Guan was taken aback. He quickly reached out and picked a chicken leg mushroom, then took a bite himself.

The chicken leg mushrooms instantly transformed into vital energy upon entering his mouth, flowing into his stomach. Chen Guan felt as if he were directly consuming vital energy.

"Too powerful!" In that instant, Chen Guan felt as if he were ascending to heaven. His vital energy instantly filled his limbs and bones, overflowing from his thousands of pores, as if it were lifting his body into the air.

Chen Guan quickly activated the first secret technique to refine and absorb the vital energy within his body.

"I'm going to be rich... This time I'm really going to take off..." After eating a chicken leg mushroom, Chen Guan felt that he was about to level up.

There are still quite a few chicken leg mushrooms here. If we pick some and take them home, will we still have trouble upgrading later?

These chicken leg mushrooms are natural treasures formed from the condensed essence of the cave, and eating them is no different from directly consuming high-quality solid essence.

Chen Guan swept away the clouds and roughly counted them. There were quite a few clusters of chicken leg mushrooms growing on the stone platform, at least two or three hundred in number.

"With so many good things, this should be more than enough for me to advance to level 20, right?" Chen Guan thought to himself. He picked a chicken leg mushroom and was pondering how to store it when he saw mist rising from the mushroom, and the spiritual energy within it was rapidly dissipating.

In just a short while, the chicken leg mushroom that had been picked was reduced to a thin, transparent skin, thinner than a cicada's wing, with nothing inside and no vitality left.
