"I thought you would need a few months to stabilize your Spirit Master realm. I didn't expect it to be brought forward. It seems that some things have to be done ahead of time.”
Due to Xiao Chen's cultivation speed exceeding his expectations, Elder Yun could not help but smile. However, he immediately thought of something and could not help but frown.
"What is it?"
Xiao Chen was now completely convinced by Elder Yun. Just that set of hand seals had benefited him greatly. Even in a family like the Lin family that had been passed down for hundreds of years, he had never come into contact with a method that could speed up the absorption of Spiritual Energy. The strength of this old man named Yun was evident.
"It's a quick way to increase your cultivation and condense more water-like spiritual energy.”
Elder Yun said to Xiao Chen with a tempting tone, but the content really made his heart beat faster.
"Is there really such a way?"
Xiao Chen forcefully suppressed his curiosity about this shortcut and asked through gritted teeth.
" The main purpose of a Cleric's cultivation is to expand the meridians, train the body, and strengthen the meridians. This will lay a solid foundation for the cultivation of the Spirit Grandmaster and even the Spirit King realm. If the cultivation of a spiritual knight is to allow the body to gradually adapt to the spiritual power, then the cultivation of a Cleric is to allow the spiritual power to take root in the body. However, at this age, the meridians, flesh, and blood of the human body are the weakest and most malleable. This leads to the cultivation of a Cleric to be gradual and smooth. He couldn't use the method of forcefully breaking through and absorbing spiritual energy. Otherwise, when he broke through to the Spirit Grandmaster or even the Spirit King realm in the future, the powerful spiritual energy could even burst his meridians and kill him on the spot.”
Elder Yun's expression became serious, and his words seemed to carry a non-existent pressure.
Xiao Chen understood this point. When he was stabilizing his Spirit Master realm, he had been very careful in his cultivation. Even if he could not break through, he had to safely pass through this most critical period.
"The main reason why I let you learn that set of hand seals before was to quickly increase your cultivation after you stabilize your Spirit Master realm and condense water-shaped Spiritual Energy. However, in order to make the cultivation method gentler, he needed to concoct the Marrow Cleansing Soup so that one could cultivate directly in the Marrow Cleansing Soup. That way, even if the cultivation speed was much faster and the pressure was on the meridians, the medicinal efficacy of the Marrow Cleansing Soup would be enough to warm and relieve the pressure, so that no problems would arise.”
At this point, Elder Yun could not help but look pained, but he covered it up in an instant.
"So I was planning to go out and look for the remaining four ingredients in the next two months. However, as soon as your cultivation speed increased, we had no choice but to go to the market to buy some herbs.”
Ignoring Xiao Chen's shocked expression, Elder Yun continued to speak with a smug expression.
"Tomorrow, you will go to Dark Night City and try to find information about Sunflower, Orchid Grass, and Dark Yin Stone in the city. Sunflower must be picked not long ago, and Orchid Grass must be as old as possible, at least a hundred years old. Oh, right, you don't have to find a third grade spirit beast's spirit core. I'll go to the White Bone Plain and catch a third grade spirit beast alive. I can let you practice and learn some spirit combat skills.”
Xiao Chen was shocked when he heard the word " Third-grade spirit beast ". The spiritual energy in the Nine Nether Continent was rich. Not only were people divided into cultivation levels, but even the spirit beasts had their own levels. Compared to the levels used to measure the strength of the spiritual medium, the strength of a first-grade spirit beast was similar to that of a spiritual knight. A second-grade spirit beast was comparable to a spiritual master. As for a third-grade spirit beast, it was equivalent to the cultivation of a spiritual king. However, because humans had all kinds of spirit combat techniques and spirit weapons, humans could still win in a battle between spirit beasts of the same level.
Using a Spirit Beast that was comparable to a Spirit King to practice for him, Xiao Chen could almost imagine how terrifying his training would be in the future. At least, in comparison, this kind of bitter cultivation was like a vacation.
Three newly harvested Sunny Flowers that had fully bloomed cost at least 150 Black Crystal Coins, which was equivalent to 1.5 million Blue Crystal Coins. There was no such thing as a 100-year-old Orchid Grass on the market. The oldest one was only 50 years old. However, this 50-year-old Orchid Grass actually cost 120 Black Crystal Coins. There were still some Dark Yin Stones, but that was the finale item of this year's auction in Dark Night City. According to the insider of the auction house, it would be sold for at least 300 Black Crystal Coins.
These three materials added together would cost at least 570 Black Crystal Coins. Xiao Chen looked at the information he had gathered and felt like vomiting blood. He had saved up for six years, but he only had a little over 100 Black Crystal Coins. Even if he added the other things he had before, he would only have 200 Black Crystal Coins at most. Although this was enough for the ordinary residents of Dark Night City to live for a lifetime, it was not even enough to buy half of these three materials.
Sighing gloomily, Xiao Chen slowly shook his head. This shortcut to the cultivation of the Spirit Master realm did sound good, but the cost was terrifying. Just these three materials alone cost nearly six hundred Black Crystal Coins, and the rest of the materials would cost an unknown amount of money, especially the spirit core of a Third Grade Spirit Beast that Elder Yun had mentioned. This was a priceless item. When Xiao Chen was investigating the Dark Yin Stone, he had also seen a Second Grade Spirit Beast's spirit core on the auction list. However, the starting price of a Grade 2 Spirit Core was already as high as five hundred Black Crystal Coins, let alone a Grade 3 Spirit Core.
"Sigh, in any case, these are all things that Elder Yun wants to prepare. At most, after he uses them, he can return them to him when his strength becomes stronger.”
Xiao Chen could only console himself in this way. When he became stronger and reached the Spiritual Grandmaster level, he could easily kill a Second Grade Spiritual Beast and earn thousands of Black Crystal Coins. He could still afford to pay off this debt.
Xiao Chen's toes gently tapped on the mountain and his body flew far away. Although he could not be said to be as light as a swallow, in terms of speed, he was already much faster than before. As he watched the surrounding bushes and trees swiftly retreat, Xiao Chen sighed in his heart that his training during this period of time had not been in vain.
As the shadows of the trees swayed, Xiao Chen arrived at the small cottage where Elder Yun lived and stood on the mountain rock in front of the house.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was completely different from a few months ago. His eyes were full of energy. Although his body was thin and small on the mountain rock, he stood straight. A confident aura arose spontaneously. From his body to his spirit, he had undergone a transformation like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon.
