Yu Ke’er’s pretty face turned a little red, but she obediently took the two ancient jade boxes with her as she followed him back home.
The next day, just as the sky began to turn white, Yu Ke’er put on the set of earrings and hairpin she’d been given and then cheerfully left the house. She had originally planned to have Su Qi take Zhiyan with her to tour the spiritual fields of Alchemy Mountain, but now, she decided to go there herself.
As for Su Yu, he went to the three-layered Ice and Fire cave at the base of Alchemy Mountain.
Sitting cross-legged at the centre of the two caves, he calmed his heart and mind, entering a state of meditation. Moments later, he swallowed a Perfect grade Second class Opening Element Pill. Once the pill’s medicinal effect spread within his body, he used the Cicada Technique, enveloping his entire body in a resplendent golden cicada light as he began to carry out the day’s cultivation silently.
“Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!”
Surrounding the caves, the dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth was drawn to him, following the rotation of his cultivation technique.
Under the absorption effect of the Earth and Wood Spiritual Roots, a massive amount of heavenly and earthly spiritual energy poured into Su Yu’s body.
Moments later, a huge vortex of spiritual energy formed around Su Yu.
First came the Earth and Wood Technique, followed by the Ice and Fire technique, and finally the Metal Heavenly Sword Technique.
After the Five Elements Spiritual Roots’ cultivation was completed, the spiritual energy within the three-layered caves became slightly thin.
Had this been a second-rate Spirit Vein cave, it wouldn’t have been possible to bear his Five Elements Spiritual Roots’ daily cultivation needs.
“Hoo.”
Su Yu opened his eyes and let out a deep breath, his eyes glittering and his physical and mental state reaching its peak. Moments later, he focused on checking his proficiency panel.
“Cultivation Technique: Earth and Wood Technique (Foundation Establishment
Realm level 5, Proficiency Level 19.81%), Ice and Fire Technique (Foundation Establishment Realm level 5, Proficiency Level 16.77%), Metal Heavenly Sword
Technique (Foundation Establishment Realm level 4, Proficiency Level 46.13%)”
“The proficiency of the Earth and Wood Technique and the Ice and Fire Technique increases by about 0.03% each day,” Su Yu thought.
Under the influence of the powerful soul power of the Cicada Technique, the cultivation speed of the two techniques had indeed improved a great deal.
And this is without factoring in the medicinal effect of the Perfect grade Second class Opening Element Pill.
Compared with ordinary cultivators with middle-grade Spiritual Roots, his cultivation speed was probably twice as fast.
Otherwise, given his low-grade Spiritual Root, breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Realm level 5 to level 6 would have taken him over a decade.
As it stands, it would take him less than seven years.
The progress in the Metal Heavenly Sword Technique was similarly rapid, having already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm level 4. in a short while, he would catch up to the other four Spiritual Roots, reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm level 5.
Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm level 5, Su Yu glanced at his life span information on the panel.
“Lifespan: 76/295”
“I have a remaining lifespan of 219 years,” he thought, his eyes flashing. Compared to a normal human lifespan, he was still in his early twenties, a young man.
“In the blink of an eye, sixty years have been spent on cultivation,” He shook his head slightly. It didn’t really feel that long.
Perhaps this was what cultivators commonly referred to as ‘a day in the mountains represents a thousand years in the world’.
He then checked his spell proficiency.
In the past few years, he had perfected the spells of the Ice and Fire Technique and the Metal Heavenly Sword Technique.
Learning more spells wasn’t necessarily better; it wasn’t like earlier level spells became useless later on.
The number of spells learned was enough if it was a reasonable amount. No matter how advanced your cultivation was, the spells could become more powerful and sophisticated. The more proficient you were, the better, so they became more suitable for you.
If it were any other cultivator, they would certainly not practice as many spells as Su Yu.
If this were any other cultivator, they’d likely master none of them.
“Next, I’ll cultivate the ‘108 Forms of Crocodile Demon Body Refinement Technique’.” Su Yu stood up, took out a drop of Second rate high-grade beast blood from his Qiankun Bag and swallowed it. Then, he began to practice the Body Refinement Technique inside the cave.
Lastly, he practiced the Cicada Technique while nourishing his puppet soul, increasing the puppet soul’s power significantly and at quite a fast pace.
By the time he finished his practice, it was already noon.
After feeding the Earth Fire Ape and Black Scale Hawk, he input some spiritual energy into the fruit seed in his hand.
In the afternoon.
Su Yu then practiced Alchemy and Talisman Technique.
In the evening, Su Yu returned to his palace, relaxed and combined work with rest.
This cycle repeated day after day. A few days after Zhiyan came to the Su Family, she began to take over the family’s spiritual field cultivation. During this time, she was busy with planting spiritual rice and medicine, only occasionally returning to the clan land to visit Su Yu.
Half a month later.
In the secret chamber of the palace.
Su Yu passed through the Formation barrier and entered the chamber. Luo Qianyu, dressed in a white dress, was sitting cross-legged at the center. The flowing black hair on her shoulders danced with the flow of spiritual energy, and her once aged face, from the cessation of her cultivation, had restored its breathtaking beauty.
Divine in appearance.
Standing on the edge of the secret chamber, Su Yu saw a terrifying sword aura emanating from Luo Qianyu, enough to make one’s hair stand on end.
Each of her waving hair strands carried a chilling sharpness, cutting through the air and causing ripples, like a sword edge.
And the aura from Luo Qianyu’s body had been astonishingly restored to the same cultivation level as his, Foundation Establishment Realm level 5.
She was even quite close to reaching Foundation Establishment Realm level 6.
If he didn’t use other means and relied solely on his Five Elements Foundation Establishment power, Su Yu felt that he would have to go all out to even have a chance of blocking Luo Qianyu’s sword.
If he could defeat Luo Qianyu, who was also at the Foundation Establishment
Realm level 5, he had no confidence and thought it would have been quite good just not to lose..
