「One month later.」
「The Half-Mountain Courtyard.」
Shen Changchuan, drenched in sweat and panting heavily, finally stopped. He leaned against a stone plinth, his gaze fixed forward.
In a place no one else could see, a progress bar panel materialized.
On the panel,
the Magic Technique section was now densely packed with twenty to thirty rows of Magic that had reached 100% progress.
Behind each Magic, there were two lines describing its Perfection Traits.
This took up more than half the panel, forcing him to mentally scroll down to see the Cultivation progress of the Magic at the bottom.
This was the result of his diligent Cultivation during this period.
Gazing at the numerous Magic techniques that had reached one hundred percent progress,
Shen Changchuan couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
’Whew! That really wasn’t easy!’
Looking at the fruits of his arduous labor, Shen Changchuan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
Through his own efforts,
he had achieved tangible, visible improvements.
This feeling...
...was undoubtedly incredibly satisfying.
As he savored this feeling,
Shen Changchuan’s gaze fixed on the last line: Cyan Wood Sword Light.
...
[Cyan Wood Sword Light: 49%]
...
The progress bar for this advanced Magic Fragment, which had once been extremely difficult for him to cultivate, had now shot up to nearly fifty percent!
This was what he valued most,
and it was also his greatest gain from this period of training!
After all, his decision to cultivate so many Basic Magic techniques,
had been for the sole purpose of cultivating this very Magic Fragment.
And the facts proved,
that his gamble had paid off!
’Continuously cultivating Basic Magic to Perfection, then accumulating the relevant Perfection Traits and experience, is indeed a shortcut to cultivating more advanced Techniques!’
’Before, when I tried to cast this Magic, I had to concentrate fully and meticulously channel every last shred of Magical Power just to barely pull it off. But no matter how many times I practiced, it felt like I had hit a bottleneck, unable to break through and improve.’
’But now, with the accumulated Perfection experience from all those Basic Magic techniques, practicing it again feels completely natural, as if I’m self-taught... Is this the benefit of accumulating experience through the Perfection Traits of other Magic!’
Although the Cyan Wood Sword Light’s progress was still less than fifty percent,
Shen Changchuan could clearly feel
that there was a massive difference between him casting the Magic now and him casting it two months ago!
Not to mention its fluidity and smoothness,
the Spellcasting Warm-up alone had been reduced to within three or four breaths.
Compared to a month ago,
when Shen Changchuan faced that bare-chested man in the mountains, the Spellcasting Warm-up was five to six breaths. This was a massive improvement!
At the very least, he could now use the Cyan Wood Sword Light in battle if he timed it right.
It was no longer like before, where he had to first immobilize his opponent for a period before he could cast it against them.
’It’s a pity, though. I wonder if I can reduce the Spellcasting Warm-up to be Instantaneous once I cultivate it to one hundred percent Perfection.’
’This Magic is so powerful, probably not.’
’But even if it’s not Instantaneous, reducing the time to one or two breaths would probably be enough to give me a decisive advantage in battle!’
Shen Changchuan calculated silently.
However, despite his eagerness for the Perfection Level Cyan Wood Sword Light,
Shen Changchuan had no intention of continuing to grind at such a high intensity.
One month.
If you added the Cultivation time before that, it was more like two or three months.
For two or three months,
his days were spent in a repetitive cycle: practicing Magic, meditating to absorb Spirit Stones and recover Magical Power, and then practicing Magic again until his Magical Power was depleted.
Aside from eating and sleeping, he barely distinguished between day and night.
Such high-intensity, hardcore grinding...
...had produced excellent results,
but the constant high-intensity strain on his mind was becoming unbearable.
The path of Cultivation
should be a balance of work and rest.
Shen Changchuan decided to give himself a few days off to recuperate.
At the same time,
he could also catch up on everything that had been happening around him recently.
He needed to make some preparations in advance.
Only knowing how to blindly cultivate,
was not a viable path.
News of Shen Changchuan emerging from his seclusion
naturally reached his maternal grandfather and chief steward, Han Qinhu, at the first opportunity. He hurried to appear before Shen Changchuan.
It was now deep winter.
Heavy snow was falling outside.
As far as the eye could see, everything was blanketed in a silvery-white coat.
In the frigid winter,
ordinary people had no desire to go out,
so there were naturally no problems throughout Dawan Village, including within Zhao Family Village.
Everything was peaceful and well.
However, in contrast,
Shen Changchuan also learned from Han Qinhu that the external situation was, in fact, not good at all.
Just as he had expected,
as rumors about the Wu Family spread,
more and more Loose Cultivators from other regions began to converge on the Wu Family Collection.
This once-desolate Border Desolate Land had become increasingly lively.
The Wu Family had two Soul Emergence Realm experts presiding over it,
so no matter how daring the newly arrived foreign Cultivators were, they didn’t dare to cause trouble near the Wu Family’s territory.
Therefore, the gathered foreign Cultivators exchanged some information around the Wu Family Collection,
and many of them began to scatter in all directions,
entering the mountains to search.
They hoped to rely on their own strength and luck to find some related clues.
If they were lucky enough to actually find something,
they would strike it rich!
A treasure like the Cyan Essence Water Grass, if it fell into the hands of a Major Immortal Cultivation Clan in desperate need, could even be exchanged for a Soul Emergence Pill!
And even if they couldn’t establish connections with those Major Immortal Cultivation Clans and found it difficult to sell,
a treasure like the Cyan Essence Water Grass, which could cleanse one’s Cultivation Talent, was still incredibly valuable in its own right!
What’s more,
there were rumors
that breaking through to the Soul Emergence Realm was related to the strength of one’s Divine Sense.
It was said that the stronger one’s Divine Soul, the easier it was to break through to the Soul Emergence Realm.
As such,
a treasure like the Cyan Essence Water Grass, freewēbnoveℓ.com
was naturally even more tantalizing.
Because of this,
just as Shen Changchuan had initially predicted,
during this period,
more and more foreign Cultivators had appeared in the vicinity.
In fact, during the month he had been in seclusion,
several foreign Cultivators had already entered Dawan Village to seek lodging and inquire about related news.
Chaos had gradually begun to emerge as a result.
There were rumors circulating outside that several villages had been mysteriously wiped out.
Fortunately, however,
it seemed the reputation of the Tian Nan Shen Clan was great enough to intimidate those with malicious intent.
As a result, up until now,
neither Dawan Village nor the surrounding villages had been attacked.
