Free Web NovelChapter 371: Chapter 158: The Second Batch of Star Source Spirit Fruits Ripens, Further Improving Aptitude (Part 2)
For most cultivators, this might simply be to stave off hunger and maintain daily consumption.
However, for Zhou Changwang, who has cultivated the Pure Yang Five Elements Technique to the Great Success Realm, the automatically operating cultivation technique allows him to continuously absorb and convert spiritual power, directly enabling him to steadily enhance his strength and improve his cultivation efficiency by approximately ten percent.
Don’t underestimate ten percent—it accumulates over time, and eventually, it’s more than just a small amount.
"The only downside is that the consumption of Fasting Pills is faster.
Originally, one Top-grade Fasting Pill could sustain fifteen days’ worth of daily consumption without eating or drinking, but now it lasts only five days.
But all this is worth it."
Zhou Changwang is certainly motivated.
This is just the top-grade Fasting Pill, but what about the top-grade?
"Of course.
Pill masters have to live too.
These Fasting Pills, if sold, would not yield much profit.
Lower Grade Fasting Pill could probably sell for just one Lower-Grade Spirit Stone.
But the actual cost is more than one Lower-Grade Spirit Stone, as every portion of ten catties of Linghe requires one Lower-Grade Spirit Stone; bulk quantity offers discounts.
Middle Grade Fasting Pill provides a small profit, selling ten for fifteen Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, and ten Top-grade Fasting Pills for twenty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."
Zhou Changwang originally didn’t intend to earn Spirit Stones this way.
The true powerful weapon, the one that can largely earn Spirit Stones, lies in other high-grade spirit pills.
Yet before this, he still needs to enhance his alchemy skills.
"But it won’t be long. As long as the Fasting Pills are refined to the Great Success Stage, I should be able to attempt refining Spirit Revitalizing Pills.
From Spirit Revitalizing Pills onwards, I can use alchemy to earn Spirit Stones.
But the highest profit comes from the Youthful Appearance Pill."
The Youthful Appearance Pill is a High-Tier First Grade Spirit Pill.
With his current level of alchemy, forcing the refinement would only waste materials.
Therefore, he’s not in a hurry.
It’s estimated that the Spirit Revitalizing Pill also needs to be elevated to the Great Success Stage before he begins attempting to refine the High-Tier First Grade Spirit Pill, the Youthful Appearance Pill.
Fortunately, his cultivation level has already increased, his Spiritual Sense is strong enough, and progress should be very quick.
"But today’s biggest surprise isn’t the Small Success of Fasting Pill, successfully refining the Top-grade Fasting Pill.
It’s that the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree is about to mature once again."
Zhou Changwang strolled over to the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree, looking at the eight growing spirit fruits on it.
"Two hundred seventy years of ring time.
If the Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid is sufficient, the progress will be quite fast!"
Zhou Changwang mused, his face brimming with confidence.
Then, he began to perform spell nurturing.
Annual Ring Skill!
Annual Ring Skill!
Annual Ring Skill!
Layer upon layer of Annual Ring Skill was performed by him.
Simultaneously, he continually infused Vitality Spiritual Liquid into the Star Source Spirit Fruit.
Bottles of Vitality Spiritual Liquid transformed into nutrients, constantly aiding its growth.
Two hundred seventy-one years, two hundred seventy-two years, two hundred seventy-three years...
Soon, it reached two hundred eighty years, then two hundred ninety years...
With the continuous growth of the ring time, the spirit fruits on the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree gradually expanded and matured.
They eventually transformed into pure golden spirit fruits!
Buzz!
The Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree officially grew to three hundred years of ring time, and the Star Source Spirit Fruit fully matured.
At the same time, the Power of Creation emerged, spreading outward.
It was as effortless as a familiar routine.
Zhou Changwang quickly sat cross-legged, summoning the Spirit Dog, Gold-Devouring Spirit Bee, and the Golden Armor King Flying Cicada he nurtured himself.
The Power of Creation spreading has immense benefits for beings within a certain range.
Zhou Changwang couldn’t monopolize all the benefits, so naturally, he wanted to use this opportunity to nurture his spirit beasts and spirit insects as much as possible.
He immediately began cultivating, absorbing the diffused Power of Creation around him.
One circulation, two circulations, three circulations...
Soon, Zhou Changwang woke up, his face showing a joyful expression.
"Cultivation level has directly increased by five points, reaching the level of ’83.’ Although the improvement is less compared to last time, the distance to another breakthrough isn’t far."
Zhou Changwang looked at his attribute panel, his face revealing a hint of delight.
The improvement in cultivation is only one aspect; more importantly, it’s the maturity of eight Star Source Spirit Fruits...
It must be known that before this, he had already felt the benefits of Star Source Spirit Fruit in enhancing his talent.
That real improvement in cultivation speed, far more effortless than before, genuinely excites and captivates him.
"Next, I want to see how much these Star Source Spirit Fruits can enhance my Spirit Root Talent?"
Zhou Changwang anticipated as he was about to pick the spirit fruits, suddenly paused, and glanced to the side.
The Spirit Dog, Xiaohanzi, evolved!
After being washed by the Power of Creation, it seemed to have received immense benefits, refining its blood lineage back to its ancestors, achieving evolution.
At this moment, its size has grown to more than twice its previous size, and the fur that initially had a hint of gray, making it seem like a mixed-breed dog,
Now has turned into pure black. Only its four limbs and paws have spots of white.
Moreover, its aura not only far exceeds the previous but has a kind of fierce presence, vaguely conveying a sense of oppression.
Its strength also improved considerably, reached the level comparable to a Third-Layer Qi Cultivation Practitioner.
"This appearance—could it really be as Brother Xiu said, possessing the bloodline of Black Mountain Marsh?"
