Free Web NovelChapter 373: Chapter 158: The Second Batch of Star Source Spirit Fruits Ripens, Further Enhancing Aptitude_4
Only slightly inferior to those Celestial Spirit Root cultivators with single-attribute spirit root talent.
However, even though Celestial Spirit Root cultivators have strong talent, they are few in number. Also, while they may cultivate quickly, it doesn’t necessarily mean their strength is strong.
"Not to mention,
if I add my current Great Success level Pure Yang Five Elements Technique,
my cultivation speed may not be weaker than those Celestial Spirit Root cultivators.
Moreover, my Pure Yang Five Elements Technique is not far from perfection.
If I truly reach the Realm of Perfection, my cultivation speed may not surpass them, but it will certainly be comparable to those Celestial Spirit Root cultivators."
Zhou Changwang was brimming with confidence.
As for continuing to cultivate the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree to improve talent?
After thinking for a moment, he decided to hold off for now.
Primarily because he didn’t have enough demon pills.
Cultivating this Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree had already consumed most of the demon pills he got from Shen Xinyue, leaving him now with only fifteen Second Grade Initial Tier Demon Pills and about twenty High-Tier First Grade Demon Pills.
These demon pills can at most allow the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree to grow for over a hundred years in ring time.
It’s not enough to mature it.
"In the short term, I should focus on earning Spirit Stones.
And the external debts I owe, I must clear them!"
Zhou Changwang was not accustomed to owing others. If it weren’t for the demon pills Shen Xinyue provided, which he happened to need, he wouldn’t have agreed to take them.
Now that he owed a favor, he naturally wanted to repay it as soon as possible.
Then, Zhou Changwang began his first cultivation session after enhancing his talent.
He utilized the Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp.
Then he circulated the Pure Yang Five Elements Technique.
One circulation, two circulations, three circulations...
Spiritual power +1
After a while, Zhou Changwang opened his eyes, his face immediately showing a look of immense excitement.
"Three times!
My cultivation speed has increased threefold from its original rate?"
Zhou Changwang was instantly invigorated.
Originally, his cultivation speed was not slow.
With the Great Success level of the Pure Yang Five Elements Technique and the previous enhancement in talent, his cultivation speed had always been relatively fast.
And now, with his talent further enhanced to be comparable to a Dual Attribute Spirit Root cultivator, and adding the Great Success level Pure Yang Five Elements Technique, his cultivation speed had another leap forward.
Three times!
Previously, cultivating for one day could increase ’1’ unit of spiritual power, but now wouldn’t it be ’3’ units?
"In this way, wouldn’t my spiritual power increase rapidly and break through again soon?"
Zhou Changwang was indeed pleasantly surprised.
He truly didn’t expect that as his realm advanced, his cultivation speed would also rapidly improve.
The next day.
Zhou Changwang sensed the array slightly trembling.
He quickly awoke from his cultivation.
Employing the Ghost Eye Skill, he ’saw’ two female cultivators standing at the valley entrance.
It was precisely Shuiyun Pavilion’s current Pavilion Master, Shen Xinyue.
And the other was Hao Lianyu, Fairy Lianyu, who regularly handled task exchanges.
These days, aside from cultivating the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree and refining spirit pills, he hadn’t neglected practicing magic.
The Ghost Eye Skill had naturally long been at the entry level.
"Could the Divine Wind Valley hunt be starting?"
Zhou Changwang was startled and then stood up, controlling the array to open.
"Pavilion Master Shen, Fairy Lianyu, welcome, fairies."
Zhou Changwang quickly greeted them.
"This time, we came uninvited, so please, Fellow Daoist Zhou, don’t mind,"
Shen Xinyue smiled and said.
"Not at all, I’m more than happy to welcome you,"
Zhou Changwang replied with a slight smile.
"I didn’t expect such a significant change in Fellow Daoist Zhou’s spirit land.
The Second-Grade High-Tier Spirit Vein is even better than Shuiyun Pavilion’s in the marketplace."
Immediately, Shen Xinyue couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
Next to her, Hao Lianyu wasn’t surprised, as she had already witnessed these changes when handing over Qingyun Grass and Spirit Charm Flower here before.
Seeing the rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within the spirit land, she couldn’t help but feel sentimental.
Back then, this spirit vein was one of the remainders chosen by several spirit plant tributors.
It could be said to be one of the worst Second-Grade Spirit Lands in Shuiyun Pavilion.
Yet, in Zhou Changwang’s hands, it had revived vitalistically.
Even to a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, it wouldn’t be considered wasted.
"All thanks to Pavilion Master Tang’s gift."
Zhou Changwang said with a smile.
Seeing Shen Xinyue still puzzled, Hao Lianyu standing aside quickly explained the backstory, after which Shen Xinyue revealed a look of understanding and exclaimed, "To think, Fellow Daoist Zhou has such an opportunity.
I already knew that Senior Sister had a piece of Third-Grade Spirit Vein core. Back then, in the sect, Martial Uncle Bi Chen wanted to trade for it with a top-grade magical artifact, but she wasn’t willing to trade.
This time, she directly gave it to you.
One can see how moved she was back then."
Hao Lianyu on the side also sighed; it wasn’t just being moved.
In some ways, Zhou Changwang almost had the grace of enlightenment for Pavilion Master Tang.
If it weren’t for his help in curing Pavilion Master Tang’s Twelve-Color Flower, without a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, Pavilion Master Tang would have likely waited several more years before preparing for a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.
Being willing to take out this piece of Third-Grade Spirit Vein core was quite normal.
"Indeed, I must thank Pavilion Master Tang for her immense kindness."
Zhou Changwang said aloud.
Then, at Shen Xinyue’s indication, Hao Lianyu didn’t linger in the spirit land. Aside from handling the task, her purpose here was to guide Shen Xinyue.
So, after Zhou Changwang handed over a hundred Qingyun Grass and ten Spirit Charm Flowers of sufficient age, she quickly left.
Then, Zhou Changwang looked towards Shen Xinyue and asked, "Sister Shen, have you come this time because the Divine Wind Valley hunt is about to start?"
"That’s indeed part of the reason.
Just a day ago, the poisonous fog in Divine Wind Valley dispersed a bit.
It’s estimated that with another dispersal, the poisonous fog throughout Divine Wind Valley will be completely cleared.
At that time, the Workshop Master will allow everyone to enter and participate in the hunt."
Shen Xinyue nodded and spoke.
"The second dispersal of the poisonous fog?
Doesn’t that mean someone might enter secretly for hunting now?
If I remember correctly, although the entrance to Divine Wind Valley is controlled by the Workshop Master, there are indeed other entrances around."
Zhou Changwang asked, frowning.
"Indeed, that’s true.
But entering early isn’t necessarily a good thing.
When the poisonous fog disperses,
for us cultivators, it might be a feast, but for many demon beasts within Divine Wind Valley, it’s the same.
During this time, many demon beasts from the depths of Divine Wind Valley also flow towards the outskirts.
Meaning, even in the outskirts, one might encounter Foundation Establishment Realm Great Demons."
Shen Xinyue shook her head sentimentally and continued, "Of course, we need not worry too much about that.
By then, many cultivators will enter together, including some Foundation Establishment Realm seniors.
The larger the group, the safer it will be.
And the probability of a Foundation Establishment Realm Great Demon appearing in the outskirts is relatively low."
Seeing the worry in Zhou Changwang’s expression, Shen Xinyue quickly reassured him.
Zhou Changwang nodded.
With so many cultivators entering, it’s believed that even if there are such level demon beasts, the danger won’t be too great.
After all, among cultivators, there are also strong ones.
And there are quite a few Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators as well.
