However, cultivating with all four spiritual roots concurrently drained resources at a terrifying rate, beyond what he had imagined.
In just one year, the power within his ice-fire beads had been depleted by one tenth.
In addition, his daily cultivation required him to consume at least four perfect quality tier two starter pills, equivalent to the cost of a batch of tier two medicinal pills, and a medium-grade spirit stone to supplement the deficient spiritual energy from nature.
Adding it all up, his personal resource consumption over the past year had exceeded 60,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Considering this, Su Yu felt a pang of distress. He hadn’t realized the staggering total until he took a moment to calculate it.
This was purely for cultivating the four spiritual roots. Imagine if he were to concurrently cultivate the five elements – it was beyond horrifying.
“Thankfully, I have that puppet’s place, which has allowed us all to profit significantly from the bustling crowds and opportunities at Dayue Ridge. It brings in at least 10,000 to 20,000 low-grade spirit stones per month,” Su Yu recounted with relief. “Otherwise, the cost of cultivating outside would be truly terrifying, and unsustainable.”
With his mind focused on the proficiency panel displaying his spells, he saw that his proficiency in all ice-fire spells had greatly improved over the course of the past year.
Possibly by the time he was able to invent a legitimate cultivation technique for the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, these spells could reach full proficiency.
The speed and power of a spell fully mastered vastly exceeded the capabilities of ordinary people.
“Huff.’
As Su Yu gently exhaled and opened his eyes, a terrifying aura radiated from him. The aura of his four elemental attributes was chaotic. If an ordinary individual attempted to cultivate these four spiritual root techniques haphazardly, they would likely waste their lives trying.
However, the chaotic aura emanating from the four spiritual roots in Su Yu appeared strangely tranquil and balanced.
Through using the proficiency panel for cultivation, he just needed to follow the program meticulously. The cultivation technique proficiency would gradually improve; the progress was not any different from before.
He was not being hindered by the other spiritual roots.
Buzz!
In the next moment, the low-grade magic treasure in Su Yu’s Dantian, the
Ice-Fire Bead, trembled slightly. Instantly, the auras of his two techniques, Tianshang Downfall and Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana, completely retracted and hid, protecting the Dantian, and preventing the Ice-Fire Mana from exiting.
As such, Su Yu, who only had the auras of earth and wood, seemed a lot more normal.
And this simple dual elemental mana was already making his aura much more terrifying and stronger than an average cultivator in the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
He finished his retreat.
This time, Su Yu had stayed in the secret chamber for half a month. He spent half of his free time drawing talismans and the rest in retreat, contemplating and creating the cultivation technique for the Ice-Fire Secret in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Everything went smoothly.
Upon leaving his room, Su Yu went to the courtyard. It was currently the afternoon.
The setting sun cast a warm, golden light on the courtyard. He looked around and found no one.
With a slight movement of his ears, Su Yu advanced towards the front courtyard.
Upon arriving there, he saw Yu Linfeng speaking to Yu Ke’er. Seeing Su Yu coming out, Yu Linfeng immediately expressed joy, exclaiming, “Young Master, it’s so good that you’re out of retreat.”
Su Yu approached and asked in doubt, “What happened?”
Yu Linfeng, appearing slightly worried, replied, “Your tamed beast, the Ice Scale Fish King, has been causing trouble in the past few days. It seems to want to see you. I thought it was hungry, but even after feeding it with Beast Pills, it continued to create a ruckus.”
“It can’t talk nor write, so I have no idea what it wants.”
Ice Scale Fish King—
Upon hearing this name, Su Yu was momentarily caught in a trance, only then remembering that he did indeed have a Tamed Beast, a Fish King, here.
He had almost forgotten about it.
Upon remembering that he had once passed to it a strand of ice soul bead’s primal mana, Su Yu was filled with interest and said, “Let’s go have a look.”] The three of them flew together towards the small icy pond at the foot of the mountain.
On the way,
Yu Ke’er said, “Sister Zhi left a few days ago. Luo Qianyu, the personal Disciple of the Yunjian Sect’s First Elder, has returned from the Tianfeng Palace’s relics. Reportedly, she obtained an extraordinary inheritance there. In the ruins, someone even saw her cut down a genius of the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm from Fengluo Residence.”
“Moreover, Fairy Fengling of Bai Yue Fairy City, the good-for-nothing son-in-law of the Pill Master Li Family, Xu Changqing, and others, returned safely, appearing to have gained quite a lot.”
“That day, I saw them all from a distance. They were terrifying, much more than when they were first introduced at the Genius Confluence.”
Su Yu’s face turned serious, he asked in surprise, “Taoist Friend Luo, Fairy
Fengling, and others have come back? Where are they now?”
Yu Ke’er answered, “Sister Zhi and Taoist Friend Luo have already left the Dayue Black Market, saying that there were urgent matters in the Yunjian Sect that needed their attention. That’s why they left without waiting for you to end your retreat. She asked me to tell vou.”
Su Yu’s eyebrows furrowed, recalling the news that Yu Ke’er had just shared.
Luo Qianyu had cut down a genius of the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm from Fengluo Residence— That was no small feat!
Moreover, Fairy Fengling and others had also been to the Tianfeng Palace’s ruins. Yu Ke’er had mentioned that their auras had become incredibly terrifying, which indicated significant gains on their side as well.
Just how far had Fairy Fengling and the others progressed in their abilities?
A chill rose in Su Yu’s heart, these geniuses were indeed not to be underestimated. While he had stayed here and gained some opportunities, it was clear that Luo Qianyu, Fairy Fengling, and the others hadn’t ceased in their progress either.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Amidst the misty forest, a youth in a green robe flew by, his form graceful and easeful like the wind, his long hair flying, appearing like an exiled celestial being..
