Over the five years, Chen Heng had greatly changed.

Apart from his reputation increasing, becoming one of the most famous refiners in the Bohai region, the biggest change was his cultivation.

​​

Not only had he finished Foundation Building, but he had even reached Spirit Transforming.

In the cultivation of this world, Foundation Building was the starting point, followed by Qi Refining.

Qi Refining referred to gathering spirit qi and using it for oneself. The cultivator would refine spirit qi from outside and turn it into their own magic energy.

After Qi Refining was Spirit Transforming.

The so-called Spirit Transforming was using magic energy to baptise one's body.

Now that five years had passed, Chen Heng had already reached the peak of Spirit Transforming.

Even in the entire Bohai Sea, this was quite high.

His reputation as a refining master in the Bohai Sea was also very good.

Of course, that was all there was to it.

Compared to Chen Yu's accomplishments back then, this was not worth mentioning.

As for the Heavenly Star Secret Technique, Chen Heng had also made some progress.

Thinking to there, he looked outside.

Outside, some footsteps could be heard.

A boy wearing a white robe holding a jade plate walked over.

The boy looked around ten years old and had good looks. It was just that his expression was very serious and did not have the naivety and joy that a normal child had.

This boy was called Qi Yu, and he was Chen Heng's disciple.

Chen Heng had discovered this child by chance one year ago.

Back then, Qi Yu's family had been killed by enemies, while a faithful old servant had run away with him and were hunted down by their enemies.

During the most dangerous time, he had encountered Chen Heng.

Given some considerations, Chen Heng decided to save him and took him in as a disciple.

The considerations were quite normal.

Standing there, he looked at Qi Yu.

The boy stood there in front of him, looking incredibly serious.

Above the boy's head, a faint golden light appeared, spiraling above his head.

Fortune.

Qi Yu also had Fortune, and he was also favored by heaven's will.

Of course, Qi Yu's Fortune had not developed yet, which was different to Chen Heng.

"Yu'Er."

Looking at the boy, Chen Heng smiled and stretched out his hand as he patted his head, "Is everything prepared?"

"Yes," Qi Yu nodded earnestly, "everything is prepared."

Chen Heng lightly nodded, "Very good. Then it's about time. We will leave tomorrow."

"Yes." Qi Yu nodded, not saying anything else.

It was just that after a few moments, his expression changed as he said, "Teacher…"

"Hm?" Chen Heng turned and lightly smiled as he looked at Qi Yu, "What is it?"

"Are we…" Qi Yu looked a bit hesitant before saying, "Are we really going to the Eastern Continent?"

Hearing this, Chen Heng smiled and said, "Of course. That was where your teacher was born, so I will naturally return there.

"At the end of the day, fallen leaves will return to their roots," Chen Heng said with a gentle expression before saying, "Yu'Er, are you not willing to leave?"

"I will go wherever teacher goes."

Qi Yu shook his head as he said resolutely, "Please don't leave me behind."

To Qi Yu, apart from the servant who had helped him escape, Chen Heng was his only family.

He did not want to leave Chen Heng.

Hearing this, Chen Heng smiled and asked, "How has your cultivation been recently?"

"I'm at Qi Refining Level 3," Qi Yu said.

Following this, Chen Heng began to seriously examine Qi Yu's cultivation.

What was surprising was that even though Qi Yu was not even 12 years old, he had completed Foundation Building and had reached Qi Refining Level 3.

In the Bohai Sea, this was extremely good.

Considering his age, he could be called a genius, and anyone who heard about this would deeply respect him.

Even though Qi Yu's progression was shocking, if anyone knew how fast his cultivation was increasing, they would feel even more dumbfounded.

Back then, Chen Heng had only used one year to complete Qi Refining.

If news of this spread, some people would definitely kneel.

However, for Chen Heng, this speed was quite normal.

His talent was already quite good, and adding on Chen Yu's experience and memories, this speed was quite reasonable.

On the other hand, Qi Yu's talent was not any weaker than his but his cultivation speed was much slower.

On one hand, this was due to the gap in experience; on the other, it was because Qi Yu was still young.

Following this, Chen Heng came to a separate room.

The layout of the room was quite simple; at the center, there was a massive white bed.

Chen Heng closed the door and sat on the bed, and he got into a unique pose.

It was similar to the posture that cultivators used for refining qi, but it was also somewhat different.

It looked like he was internalizing spirit qi and refining magic energy, but what he was doing was completely different.

What he was doing right now was meditating.

Back in the Sorcerer World, Chen Heng had found a historical remnant and discovered a Meditation Technique left behind by a Sorcerer.

Chen Heng had memorized this Meditation Technique but just had never had the opportunity to try it out.

Only in recent times had he decided to try it out, and the effects greatly surprised him.

The basic stages of the Meditation Technique was using one's mind to imagine runes and use them to enhance their mind and mental energy.

In this world, the mind had a different name, which was the soul.

As Chen Heng cultivated the Meditation Technique, his mind and soul had been greatly enhanced.

His soul becoming stronger had also caused other aspects about him to improve.

In this world, the most important thing to cultivators was the soul.

This was the case, whether for those at the Qi Refining stage, Enlightened Masters, and even True Lords.

At the same time, the magic tools and techniques that cultivators used all required them to have a powerful and tough soul.

However, this world's cultivators did not have very good techniques for enhancing their souls.

From what Chen Heng knew, even though cultivators had some similar techniques, they could not compare to how detailed and effective the Sorcerers' Meditation Techniques were.

In a sense, Sorcerers and cultivators made up for each other's shortcomings.

Over the past five years, apart from cultivating every day, Chen Heng also practiced the Meditation Technique every day, refining his soul.

Even though his cultivation was only at Spirit Transforming, his soul was incredibly powerful.

Time gradually passed.

After a few days, Chen Heng and Qi Yu set out to leave the Bohai Sea.

After staying in the Bohai region for five years, Chen Heng had already figured out a route to get back to Great Qi.

He did not bring many people, only Qi Yu.

The reason he was leaving the Bohai region and heading to the Eastern Continent was for opportunities.

During Chen Yu's life, he stayed near Great Qi.

As such, most of the fortuitous opportunities he had come across were all near Great Qi.
