Chapter 511: Chapter 293: Obtained

Xu Yang found Xu Qing and quickly gathered two hundred contribution points before returning to the Inheritance Tower.

"Kid, what are you doing exchanging for the Spiritual Essence Pill formula again?" Wei Zhihe’s face twitched. He really felt the urge to strike.

If not for his habit of getting useless things, with Xu Yang’s talent and potential, he would have broken through to the Celestial Essence Realm long ago.

"My sister is a genius Pill Master from Medicine King Peak. I’m exchanging it for her!"

Xu Yang chuckled. He wasn’t annoyed by Wei Zhihe’s meddling, knowing the old man meant well.

"Who are you trying to fool?" Wei Zhihe rolled his eyes.

Anyone else wanting to learn how to make the Spiritual Essence Pill would need to exchange for the Pill Formula. But a Pill Master from Medicine King Peak, as long as they were capable enough, wouldn’t need to exchange for it at all. They could just ask their Elder master for it directly.

"Here are four thousand contribution points. They’re for the Wandering Dragon Void Step and the Spiritual Essence Pill formula. As for the Vajra Glazed Body, I’ll use the reward the Sect grants for breaking through to the Celestial Essence Realm to exchange for it."

Xu Yang didn’t press the issue with Wei Zhihe and simply placed all his contribution points in front of him.

Resigned, Wei Zhihe had no choice but to hand the transcribed materials to Xu Yang.

"Thank you, Elder. This disciple will take his leave."

After taking the items, Xu Yang quickly descended Tianquan Peak and returned to Li Fire Peak. He found Gao Lin and told him that he would be moving to Medicine King Peak, instructing Gao Lin to find him there if anything came up.

He would be leaving in a month or two at most, and he wanted to use this final period to guide Xu Qing properly and spend more time with her.

Upon his arrival at Medicine King Peak, Xu Qing was overjoyed and quickly helped him tidy up his room.

The Tiger Mastiff cub was like a little shadow, constantly trailing behind Xu Qing.

With the Celestial Essence Pill formula he had been longing for finally in hand, Xu Yang put his things away, went out into the courtyard, and eagerly took out the formula to examine it.

After reading through it once, his head throbbed. No wonder the Purple Sun Sect didn’t have Spiritual Essence Pills available for exchange. The Pill Formula required a full eight types of Spirit Medicine, plus nearly twenty other rare medicinal ingredients.

The cost to learn how to refine this thing was terrifying. Even just ten or so practice attempts would cost seventy to eighty stalks of Spirit Medicine.

That many Spirit Medicines were enough to brute-force a cultivator to the Celestial Essence Realm. Someone with better talent could even be pushed directly to the Celestial Essence Second Layer.

Besides, from what he knew of Pill Masters, it was impossible to master a pill after only ten practice attempts, especially a high-level one like the Spiritual Essence Pill.

[Spiritual Essence Pill (0/6,000)]

Looking at the points required to add the Spiritual Essence Pill, his head throbbed again.

Without any extra rewards, it would take him nearly ten years to accumulate six thousand contribution points.

Moreover, he still needed to upgrade to a Spirit Bone, and he didn’t have nearly enough points.

’Refining the Spiritual Essence Pill myself is just too difficult,’ Xu Yang thought, shaking his head as he put the Pill Formula away.

An ordinary Pill Furnace couldn’t refine Spiritual Essence Pills at all. According to the formula’s requirements, one needed a Spirit Soldier Level Pill Furnace.

A Spirit Soldier Level Pill Furnace was more valuable than ten Spiritual Soldiers combined. Even if he could forge a Spirit Soldier Pill Furnace himself in the future, the amount of Spirit Iron required would be terrifying.

For now, even if he had enough points to learn how to refine the Spiritual Essence Pill, he didn’t have a Spirit Soldier Pill Furnace.

Next, he took out the Vajra Glazed Body and began to read through it.

Just as Wei Zhihe had said, the inheritance for the Vajra Glazed Body was incomplete. Of the Ninefold Vajra Glazed Body, the version he had only contained the first three layers; the remaining six were completely missing.

’The Purple Sun Sect is still too small!’

The Purple Sun Sect, which he once thought was so impressive, now seemed rather mediocre. Many of the Sect’s cultivation techniques didn’t even have all nine layers.

Even the most talented person would face the dilemma of having no techniques to practice if they stayed in a place like this. No wonder so many geniuses were scrambling to get into the Celestial Strategy Academy.

[Vajra Glazed Body First Layer (0/10,000)]

He glanced at the panel and continued to comprehend the Vajra Glazed Body. Once Xu Qing finished tidying the room, he began to guide her in her Martial Techniques in the courtyard.

He had taught Xu Qing most of her Martial Techniques, so guiding her was simple.

In the evening, after the siblings had dinner, Xu Yang took out the Wandering Dragon Void Step to begin his comprehension.

[Wandering Dragon Void Step - Unentered (0/3,000)]

The Wandering Dragon Void Step was a complete technique. Reaching just the Entry Level required comprehending a Martial Dao Imagery, making it incredibly profound.

Xu Yang immersed himself in it, using his Heart Spirit to practice it mentally. The night passed without him realizing it.

[Obtained Spiritual Essence Pill formula, Points +200]

[Obtained Wandering Dragon Void Step, Points +150]

[Obtained Vajra Glazed Body, Points +200]

[Martial Arts Longevity Points: 1,773]

Looking at the reward, Xu Yang was very satisfied. ’I really need to rely on acquiring new things to farm points. Relying on the panel’s daily three-point pittance, it would take forever to learn the Spiritual Essence Pill and develop a Spirit Bone.’

’This single haul is almost equal to a year’s worth of the daily allowance.’

’Add five hundred points to Root Bone!’

After a moment’s hesitation, he allocated the newly acquired points to his Root Bone. Unfortunately, it was the same as always. Aside from a faint warmth spreading through his body, he still hadn’t developed a Spirit Bone.

After waking up, Xu Yang led Xu Qing in practicing the Bright King Unmoving Body in the courtyard.

He had taught this Body Refining Technique to Xu Qing long ago. Now, his main focus was guiding her in the Bright King Unmoving Body, hoping to help her comprehend a Martial Dao Imagery before he left.

If she could comprehend a Martial Dao Imagery, she would face little difficulty breaking through to the Celestial Essence Realm in the future.

He wasn’t in a hurry to cultivate the Vajra Glazed Body. He planned to wait until his Bright King Unmoving Body reached Perfection before starting on it.

He had too many cultivation techniques to practice right now: the Li Fire Technique, Eight Ferocious Hidden Dragon Strength, Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture, Extreme Prison Heaven-Slaying Technique, Wandering Dragon Void Step, and Black Tortoise Mountain-Suppressing Fist. These were all techniques he currently had to cultivate. For his Body Refining Technique, he could only focus on the Bright King Unmoving Body. He couldn’t possibly abandon it when it was so close to Perfection.

Besides, with his current Martial Dao insight, he believed that cultivating the Vajra Glazed Body after perfecting the Bright King Unmoving Body would yield better results.

Time passed slowly. Xu Yang’s days were packed. In addition to cultivating and comprehending so many techniques for himself, he also had to find time to guide Xu Qing.

Half a month after he moved to Medicine King Peak, Xu Qing’s cultivation broke through to Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement.

To be honest, this speed was very slow. It had taken her much longer to reach Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement than it had taken him.

One had to remember that Xu Qing had his full support. After her breakthrough to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm, she had a basically uninterrupted supply of Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pills. He, on the other hand, had only started using Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pills nearly a year after his own Marrow Cleansing breakthrough.

Meanwhile, disciples like Sun Tao, Jiang Fan, and Zhang Hanzhou, who were qualified to participate in the Secondary Dragon Ascension, were all engrossed in arduous training, cultivating Celestial Essence Martial Techniques in preparation.

Medicine King Peak!

Li Chuyang’s long hair whipped around him. With a deafening ROAR, a full moon materialized behind him, and terrifying ice crystals formed on the ground all around.

In an instant, an immense pressure cracked the ground, and the Power of Heaven and Earth erupted violently.

As the surging power coursed through his body, Li Chuyang couldn’t help but let out a long cry.

His Three Yin Silver Palace Profound Gang True Technique had finally reached Great Success, and he had comprehended a Martial Dao Imagery.

He had always wanted to be a genius who comprehended a Martial Dao Imagery while still in the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm, but unfortunately, he had never succeeded. Now, just over a month after breaking through to the Celestial Essence Realm, he had finally comprehended his own Martial Dao Imagery.

This was an absolutely rapid pace. Although Martial Dao Imagery was exclusive to Celestial Essence Strong Persons, many only comprehended theirs years after breaking through to the Celestial Essence Realm.

"Jiang Fan, Xu Yang, have you comprehended your Martial Dao Imagery yet?" Li Chuyang’s body radiated with fighting spirit. He longed to find those two and have a great battle.

His Root Bone was inferior to theirs, but he was confident that his Comprehension surpassed them both.

Now that his cultivation had reached the Celestial Essence Realm, his advantage in Comprehension was finally beginning to show. With his Three Yin Silver Palace Profound Gang True Technique at Great Success, his combat strength had more than doubled.

...

Deep within the Yunling Mountain Range, Qi Xuancheng stood bathed in blood, the corpses of several ferocious-looking Exotic Beasts lying at his feet.

He had been in the Yunling Mountain Range for nearly two months, surviving multiple life-and-death battles. His entire demeanor had changed, and his aura was now incredibly sharp.

’I’ve finally touched the threshold of the Celestial Essence Realm!’

His expression was one of barely contained excitement.

’My two failed breakthrough attempts weren’t for nothing. Now that I’ve re-forged my will, I can feel the Celestial Essence Realm is within my grasp.’

BOOM!

Without any hesitation or fear, he drew the Power of Heaven and Earth into his body. There was no time to return to the Purple Sun Sect for a slow, secluded breakthrough. He had to break through as quickly as possible to get a ticket to the Secondary Dragon Ascension.

Instantly, the surrounding Power of Heaven and Earth surged, converging on his position.

...

[Li Fire Technique - First Layer (9,154/10,000)]

[Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture - Great Success (9,857/15,000)]

[Bright King Unmoving Body - Great Success (11,325/12,000)]

[Eight Ferocious Hidden Dragon Strength - Minor Achievement (1,051/20,000)]

[Canglang Sword Technique - Minor Achievement (7,644/8,000)]

[Black Tortoise Mountain-Suppressing Fist - Entry Level (8,536/10,000)]

[Wandering Dragon Void Step - Unentered (1,529/3,000)]

[Extreme Prison Heaven-Slaying Technique - Fourth Layer (1,987/10,000)]

Back on Medicine King Peak, Xu Yang carefully reviewed the progress of his various cultivation techniques. The Bright King Unmoving Body would reach Perfection in half a month at most.

At that time, the Martial Dao Imagery would integrate into his body, and his Body Refining Cultivation would undergo a world-shaking transformation.

His Eight Ferocious Hidden Dragon Strength had reached Minor Achievement more than half a month ago, doubling his combat strength.

His Canglang Sword Technique was also about to reach Great Success.

However, he didn’t place much importance on this Sword Technique; he mainly used it to farm points.

The Black Tortoise Mountain-Suppressing Fist was also close to Minor Achievement. The only issue was his Wandering Dragon Void Step, which was still at the unentered stage. However, like the Black Tortoise Mountain-Suppressing Fist, reaching Entry Level required comprehending a Martial Dao Imagery first, making that initial step the most difficult.

Once he comprehended the Martial Dao Imagery, his progress would speed up.

With a wave of his hand, he closed the panel and began to guide Xu Qing in her Martial Techniques.

In addition to the Bright King Unmoving Body, he had also taught the Canglang Sword Technique to Xu Qing. But after observing her for this period, he discovered that even with his hands-on teaching—holding nothing back and even letting her personally experience the profundity of a Martial Dao Imagery—it was impossible for Xu Qing to comprehend one while in the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm.

When a Martial Technique reached the stage of Martial Dao Imagery, it wasn’t something that could simply be taught. It all came down to one’s own Comprehension.

Around noon, a disciple from Tianquan Peak found him and delivered an invitation. According to the disciple, it was from the Young Sect Leader, Bai Shaoling.

Xu Yang slowly opened it. Written on the invitation in strong, vigorous calligraphy were a few lines: "This elder brother has prepared a humble reception. I cordially invite Junior Brother Xu to a small gathering at the Wind Listening Pavilion at 7:45 PM."

The signature was indeed Bai Shaoling’s.
