A Top Scholar in Everything

Chapter 1304: Chapter 1290: Giant Spirit Realm

Li Yun quickly tidied up the battlefield and collected the useful materials from the serpent’s body. He planned to exchange them for Contribution Points upon returning to the sect and then split them among the four of them.

For most Inner Sect Disciples.

Without backing or other income, the bodies of these monsters were a very important source of revenue.

Bringing back the corpse for exchange.

Was significant income.

Li Yun was experienced in this area, naturally not leaving behind any items that could be exchanged for Contribution Points.

Baiyu took a deep breath.

The body of the man in the black robe had already been dealt with by him, so no one would discover it now.

After the four cleaned up the battlefield.

They prepared to return and headed towards the Starshine Sect.

The group traveled for a week before finally returning to the Starshine Sect. The task of exchanging the materials and mission was left to Li Yun and Monk Xuanmu, as they were more skilled in this. After all, this wasn’t their first task.

A day later.

Baiyu received the rewards for the task.

A total of five hundred Contribution Points.

Along with the Contribution Points he had accumulated before, it now amounted to about a thousand points. With such a total, he could exchange them for a fairly common celestial treasure.

Of course.

Exchanging for those rare and valuable celestial treasures was not possible.

The man in the black robe previously collected three expensive celestial treasures, as he sought perfect advancement to the Giant Spirit Realm, thus needing each celestial treasure to be of extremely high quality.

However.

Baiyu didn’t pursue this.

He only wished to advance to the Giant Spirit Realm, no matter what.

Indeed.

Even without the aid of celestial treasures, he could enter the Giant Spirit Realm, just slightly weaker in the realm.

He didn’t pursue this.

He insisted on gathering all four because Baiyu felt uneasy without one; it was a form of compulsion.

Of course.

It was also because he happened to have so many Contribution Points, and if he didn’t exchange for these celestial treasures, hanging onto those points felt pointless.

Soon.

Baiyu obtained a crimson fruit called the Fire Blood Fruit from the sect’s exchange point. It was a fairly rare celestial treasure, bearing fruit once every ten years, and since the Starshine Sect had large-scale planting on Medicine Mountain, its exchange value wasn’t high.

After acquiring the fourth celestial treasure.

Baiyu commenced his formal seclusion to break through to the Giant Spirit Realm.

Speaking of seclusion.

It was merely closing his room’s door.

On the lone peak, hardly anyone came. Baiyu simply set up an array and began his breakthrough.

The task wasn’t difficult.

After setting everything up briefly, Baiyu took out the six strands of Spiritual Qi obtained from the man in the black robe and lightly tapped them onto his body, quickly integrating them all inside.

Then.

Baiyu promptly took out those four celestial treasures.

He placed all the items into a large pot.

Actually, following normal procedures, these medicinal materials needed to be refined into elixirs using an Alchemy Furnace, but Baiyu felt no need for such intricacy, as in essence, the difference between a pot and a furnace wasn’t vast.

Baiyu set the fire underneath.

With a loud swoosh.

The boiler roared into flames, sizzling frantically.

The four celestial treasures quickly melted inside the pot, transforming into a liquid-like state. Typically, cultivators would refine this liquid into elixirs, which would temper the medicinal power, preventing bodily explosion.

But.

Baiyu hardly needed it.

He picked up the pot, opened the lid, and drank it all.

Then, leveraging the medicinal power, swiftly digested the six strands of Spiritual Qi, and soon, a Spiritual Body began to coalesce inside him.

At this point.

Baiyu finally understood the essence of the Giant Spirit Realm.

It was about condensing a Spiritual Body, a versatile tool at one’s disposal, akin to the concept of the divine form. Only that compared to the divine form, the Giant Spirit’s attack power was much weaker, with overall combat qualities lagging significantly.

However.

It seemed that using Cultivation methods to condense the Giant Spirit endowed it with more functions.

Nevertheless.

Baiyu didn’t delve deeply into the feeling.

For he had just conceived a bold idea in his mind — to pass off his divine form as his Giant Spirit.

The principles were nearly the same.

His "Giant Spirit" was just slightly more robust and powerful, which should be reasonable, right?

It was merely a bit of exercise.

Soon.

Baiyu restrained his inner aura, reverting to normal.

"The Giant Spirit Realm, now capable of holding the position of Elder within the Starshine Sect’s Inner Sect, yet still far from the higher echelons of Starshine Sect."

Until now.

He wasn’t certain about the next realm awaiting him.

Ultimately.

The Giant Spirit Realm was, as far as he knew, the highest level of the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

"Now is the time to seek out that brotherly sister, she might offer me lots of advice. Nevertheless, I must be cautious about how I inquire."

Baiyu pondered internally.

As he prepared to act, someone arrived outside the room.

Although the person didn’t knock.

Baiyu was acutely aware regardless.

Soon.

He stepped forth, lifting the restriction from the room, and opened the door, just encountering an Inner Sect Disciple.

"Excuse me, are you Junior Brother Bai?"

The person softly inquired.

Baiyu nodded: "Senior Brother, may I ask why you’ve come looking for me?"

Baiyu joined the Inner Sect the latest.

Thus, he mostly addressed other Inner Sect Disciples as Senior Brother. Until you proceed to a higher level, it’s common to judge such titles based on entry sequence into the Inner Sect.

"Junior Brother Bai, Senior Brother Li Yun has already reported your situation at Three Rivers River to the sect, the sect elder wants you to go over and learn about the circumstances."

The Senior Brother spoke seriously.

Baiyu nodded: "Very well, I shall proceed now."

It seemed the sect elder wanted him to understand the situation.

For at Three Rivers River, events had exceeded their prior expectations.

Baiyu stepped out and, led by the Inner Sect Disciple, arrived at the sect’s affairs office.

This was the Starshine Sect’s external affairs office.

Soon.

Baiyu entered the hall.

A man clad in Starshine Sect elder attire, and carrying a longsword on his back, was examining Baiyu.

"Impressive, you only joined the Inner Sect months ago, yet successfully navigating such a perilous task indicates substantial potential and talent."

The Elder praised.

He was well aware of Baiyu’s background.

As the last to join the Inner Sect, reliant entirely on fortune for entry among the disciples, his impression was particularly striking.
