A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 136

Chapter 134 Time is plentiful

.

Keep digging.

But don’t dig aimlessly.

At this moment, a little thing should come in handy.

He patted his spirit beast pouch and pulled out a cute-looking double-pupiled rat with huge eyes.

After decades of training, the little thing had already reached the peak of level 2.

If it weren’t for its own bloodline limit preventing it from advancing further, this little beast, which he had fed a lot of pills, might have had a chance to reach level 3 sooner.

And so,

the two Blood Jade Spiders, Little White and Little Jade, had reached the peak of level 3.

In the process, a lot of spirit herbs and pills were consumed.

Even though the Blood Jade Spiders would waste medicinal power after consuming pills more suitable for humans, he didn’t frown at all.

This is how people with wealth such as spirit stones play.

Not enough cultivation?

Spend money to buy demon cores and refine pills.

Still not enough cultivation?

Keep spending money.

Still not enough cultivation?

Spend money, spend money, spend money, spend as much as you can.

Before coming to the Chaotic Star Sea, he brought over three million spirit stones.

The purchasing power of these spirit stones in the Chaotic Star Sea was at least equivalent to twenty million in the Southern Heaven!

And in the Southern Heaven, twenty million might not even buy anything.

But in the Chaotic Star Sea, this purchasing power was enough for him to make rapid progress and have plenty of spare resources to train spirit beasts and his henchmen.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Blood Jade Spider took so long to advance from low-level 1 to high-level 1, a process that took over thirty years, Little White and Little Jade might already be at the fourth level, an adult capable of reproduction.

As for the Twin-Pupil Rat

, now encased in a container of pure spiritual energy, it immediately began squeaking and dancing wildly on the spot, overjoyed.

Furthermore, it showed signs of being slightly drunk.

Its gait was unsteady and unsteady,

making it impossible for outsiders to predict its next step.

It seemed to have been honed through countless trials.

“Huh? The little guy’s spiritual energy has increased? And even with his demon beast body, he’s experiencing a spiritual aura?”

Han Li picked up the little creature, stuffing it back into his spirit beast pouch after it had absorbed a bit too much spiritual energy and needed to digest it.

A spiritual aura is a good thing.

It usually appears on individuals with lower magical power cultivation. Such individuals may experience a spiritual aura if they accidentally enter a place with abundant and high-quality spiritual energy. The

level 2 peak Twin-Eyed Rat’s magical power quality isn’t low.

However, it still experienced a severe spiritual aura, which is enough to show how high the quality of the spiritual energy here is.

It must be close to ten times higher, or even more than ten times higher.

Just like when he used his Foundation Establishment cultivation to open the cave restriction set up by an eighth-level flying demon cultivator. At that time, he also experienced a brief spiritual aura due to the extremely pure spiritual energy in the cave.

It’s just that it wasn’t as severe as the Twin-Eyed Rat’s dizziness.

“In that case, I can only let the little thing break through to level 3 and adapt to the spiritual energy environment here first,”

Han Li thought to himself.

After that, he didn’t rush to dig deeper, but instead took out the high-grade spirit stone he had just acquired and began absorbing it.

The spiritual energy within the high-grade spirit stone was comparable to the essence of a level 7 demon core.

However, there were some differences.

The biggest difference was that

the essence within a level 7 demon core belonged to someone! Even if a level 7 demon beast died, if a cultivator wanted to make the essence within the demon core ownerless, that is, to erase the demonic energy imprint on it, they generally needed to refine it into a pill.

Only in this way could a cultivator absorb the spiritual power of the demon core without problems.

After being refined into a pill, it could avoid the demonic energy imprint within the demon core from polluting the cultivator’s mana and true essence, and incidentally, it could also make the essence within the demon core more docile and easier to absorb.

This was one of the main reasons why cultivators were more enthusiastic about refining demon cores into pills.

However, even if a demon beast’s inner core is refined into a precious elixir, the process of refining its medicinal power is still quite complex and time-consuming.

A high-grade demon core, combined with various auxiliary materials, can generally yield three to three and a half bottles of high-quality elixirs.

Refining one pill requires about twenty days of meditation and absorption. One pill is equivalent to more than a year of arduous cultivation for a cultivator with dual spiritual roots.

Refining one bottle takes more than half a year.

Three bottles of elixirs, approximately two years of refining, are equivalent to thirty to forty years of arduous cultivation.

In other words, a level 7 demon core combined with numerous spiritual herbs, taking two years to refine and absorb, is equivalent to thirty to forty years of cultivation for a cultivator in the early stages of Core Formation.

Now look at the pure spiritual energy within the [Superior Grade Spirit Stone].

This spiritual energy is unmarked, belonging to an unclaimed entity; once absorbed, it can be quickly converted and stored. There are no hidden dangers.

Furthermore, the spiritual energy within the spirit stone is more docile and absorbed faster. Even a large amount ingested in a short period will not damage one’s foundation.

And so it is.

Han Li absorbed it with incredible ease.

It took him over ten days to absorb more than 80% of the spiritual energy within a single high-grade spirit stone.

His cultivation level improved significantly, comparable to nearly three years of arduous training.

His cultivation speed increased by over a hundred times!

While the effect of a high-grade spirit stone on a Core Formation stage cultivator was far less than that of a top-grade spirit stone on a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, it was still comparable to a rare and precious elixir.

“Awesome!”

This was only the benefit brought to him by a single high-grade spirit stone.

He didn’t completely drain the first high-grade spirit stone, but instead inserted the remaining portion back into the original ore vein where he had harvested the fruit. Using several intermediate-level restoration techniques to restore the gap, there wasn’t a single gap at the joint.

He figured that after several hundred years, this high-grade spirit stone, which had almost been completely drained, would not only be fully recharged and saturated again, but the quality of its spiritual energy would also be at the high-grade level.

“Continue.”

He continued digging.

He unearthed the next high-grade spirit stone.

This process wasn’t complicated.

In just over an hour,

he found another high-quality high-grade spirit stone among tens of thousands of intermediate-grade spirit stones. He was

careful during the excavation, never damaging the original ore vein.

Next came the absorption, refinement, and enhancement of his magical power.

As his internal magical power became purer, the accelerating effect of the high-grade spirit stones diminished considerably.

In just one or two years, he had unearthed dozens of high-grade spirit stones, saving him hundreds of years of arduous cultivation. With the help of dozens of high-grade spirit stones, his cultivation level reached the peak of the early Core Formation stage at an unbelievable speed.

He then spent another six months refining his mana and consolidating his cultivation with the help of the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins. After confirming there were no hidden dangers in his cultivation, he took out the pill given to him by the Lord of the Forbidden Land: the Gathering Yuan Pill. He

was surrounded by a cave area with exceptionally pure spiritual energy.

Although this wasn’t the spiritual eye of the top-grade spiritual vein on Biling Island, nor did it contain any accompanying spiritual eye items, the quality of the spiritual energy was still the best in the area.

Cultivating here was much faster than cultivating at the top of the Star Palace Sacred Mountain.

Besides the Gathering Yuan Pill and the spiritual vein’s treasure land to aid his breakthrough, he also held three high-grade spirit stones in each hand, possessing a total of six.

“Mid-Core Formation, here I come…!”

Han Li clenched his fists tightly,

gripping several high-grade spirit stones.

…

Two months later, with the internal and external support of the pure and rich spiritual energy and the powerful medicinal effects of the pills, his bottleneck first loosened, and then he quickly and smoothly overcame it.

However…

After reaching the mid-stage of Core Formation, the acceleration effect of spiritual veins and high-grade spirit stones on him began to plummet.

Initially, it was over fifty times, but after a few years, it only dropped to twenty or thirty times.

During this round of seclusion, he consumed over a hundred high-grade spirit stones to raise his cultivation to the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation.

After hitting a bottleneck again, he didn’t rush to break through, but instead helped the Twin-Eyed Rat

, which was at the peak of level 3, advance. At this time, the Twin-Eyed Rat still had a slight spiritual halo phenomenon, and only by reaching level 4 could it help him find the top-grade spirit stone and the spiritual eye of the underground spiritual vein of Biling Island. The Twin-Eyed Rat’s subsequent advancement took less than half a year.

At the same time,

the Black Dragon also advanced from level 5 to level 6.

In the past seven or eight years, the sixth brother had absorbed twenty or thirty high-grade spirit stones, mainly absorbing the pure spiritual energy from top-grade spiritual veins.

But it was just this simple and unpretentious eating and sleeping that allowed his cultivation to advance to level 6.

The two Blood Jade Spiders reached the peak of level 4.

The Ice-Fire Wolf also reached the peak of level 4.

The Jade Mantis, peak level four.

The Howling Eagle, peak level four.

A dozen Iron-Armed Beasts, the lowest reaching level three, with a few advancing to level four.

Various bloodline shackles were no problem under the spiritual energy infusion of top-grade spiritual veins, like pseudo-spiritual roots leveling up with elixirs; minor bottlenecks were nothing to them.

Moreover, these beasts weren’t unable to advance further; they were temporarily stored in his spirit beast pouch, to be used together to break through to level five later.

Then, there were over 60,000 Gold-Eating Insects, their carapaces covered in numerous golden spots, radiating spiritual energy at the Foundation Establishment stage level.

Among them, a hundred or so were specially selected; back in Tianxing City, they had mutated and advanced to level two before the others because they had fed tens of thousands of various spirit insect larvae and eggs, regardless of life or death.

He entrusted this task to Yanli.

Over the past thirty or forty years, she had collected over ten kinds of spirit insect larvae or eggs, along with dozens of magical treasures and metals. With the spirit stones in place, a considerable number of spirit insect larvae and dead eggs were collected, amounting to seventy to eighty thousand.

These larvae and dead eggs were fed to a carefully selected hundred or so Gold-Eating Insects, with good results.

Nourished by the top-grade spirit vein, they transformed into larger Gold-Eating Insects, displaying both gold and silver colors, comparable to level 4 individuals.

He then fed these hundred or so carefully selected individuals dozens of large and small magical artifacts and a hundred or so high-grade spirit stones.

All hundred or so are now in a deep sleep.

Finally,

there’s the Wind Soul of the Wind Spirit Root and the Qu Soul transformed from Zhang Tie.

These two avatars have both reached the Pseudo-Core stage.

Through the purification and strengthening of their internal mana by the top-grade spirit vein and a few high-grade spirit stones, and having saved themselves hundreds of years of arduous cultivation, they are now ready to condense their core at any time.

“It’s a pity I didn’t prepare more avatars. Otherwise, I could have greatly strengthened my divine sense this time.”

“Let’s go to a more distant place first and let the other spirit beasts break through.”

We’ll also assist the two avatars in condensing their golden cores.

Azure Spirit Island is too special; it’s not suitable for triggering celestial phenomena to attract high-level demonic beasts.

Condensing demonic cores isn’t that complicated for the spirit beasts.

It’s the two avatars that took longer to condense their golden cores.

Three years.

Fortunately, there’s still plenty of time left.
