My Informative Cultivation Life

Afterwards, they did not bring it up again and discussed other matters until evening, when True Monarch Changye finally took Chang Yuan and left.

Inside the secret chamber.

Yang Ji now took out two white Medicine Pills that sparkled with Spiritual Light, each containing tremendous medicinal power. These were the Spirit Cleansing Pills.

The holy pills that can improve one's Spiritual Root.

Above the Spirit Pills are the Treasure Pills, and only above the Treasure Pills are the holy pills, which are unseen in the Thousand-Islands Sea Area because there are no Spiritual Ingredients to refine holy pills.

It generally takes over a thousand years to cultivate them, and more than one plant is needed.

Such heavenly and earthly essence has been picked over long years and is almost unseen, only Sects like the Dao Sect with their immortal artifacts can cultivate and supply them continuously.

This is what foundation means.

The dense Pill Fragrance emitted by such holy pills is so rich, a single whiff refreshes both mind and spirit. Yang Ji looked at the pills for a moment and then swallowed both of them together.

Immediately, the medicinal power dissolved, and he felt his body start to warm up, while a tingling sensation arose in his lower abdomen.

He knew the medicine was taking effect, and he could feel his Spiritual Root slowly becoming more permeable.

Three days passed slowly, and the medicinal power of the two Spirit Cleansing Pills was completely absorbed.

Yang Ji looked at himself.

[Spiritual Root: Intermediate]

His Spiritual Root had improved from lower-grade to intermediate.

This change genuinely delighted Yang Ji.

He then immediately couldn't wait to take a Demon Essence Pill.

After one day, he actually gained 120 Cultivation Points, where usually there were only 80 Cultivation Points, this time there were 40 more Cultivation Points.

This also meant that the efficiency of cultivation with an intermediate Spiritual Root had increased by 50% compared to a lower-grade Spiritual Root.

Yang Ji was thrilled by this speed of cultivation.

It meant that the time for his breakthrough to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment would be greatly shortened.

Yang Ji carefully felt the change in his Spiritual Root, then calmed his mind, allowing the Spiritual Power vortex to refine the medicine on its own, while he began to comprehend magical techniques.

Three days later, Jian Yuanzi brought him the only Great Divine Power movement technique in the Sect, named Zhou Tian Nuoyi.

After studying it carefully for a day, Yang Ji understood why this technique was called Zhou Tian Nuoyi.

Because this technique could generate a force within the body, this force could transform into a dragon that coursed through the limbs and the extraordinary meridians and channels.

The swiftly coursing dragon could generate several forces of Zhou Tian Nuoyi, making it seem as if the body was pulled by true dragons, allowing one to rapidly dodge with great speed.

The swiftness of the speed and the ingenuity of the movement technique, just like a roaming dragon, was agile and smooth, making one's whereabouts elusive.

After ten days of studying this technique with the help of the Golden Finger's ability to perceive and correct errors, Yang Ji quickly mastered it.

At this moment, as he activated the technique, streams of white spiritual energy quickly converged within his body, moving swiftly in response to his thoughts.

His body flashed with Spiritual Light, and as the inner force dragon moved, he appeared instantly at the left side of the secret chamber.

As the inner force dragon moved again, overflowing with the essence of his path, he then appeared on the right side of the chamber.

Then the inner dragon moved erratically, and like a spinning top, he started to shift in place.

Gliding through space, he could reach a distance of several meters instantly, moving within a small area swiftly and fluently, far more agile than the wind-accompanied movement of the Light Body Skill.

Thus, he now had the True Rigidity Divine Art for his cultivation technique, Zhou Tian Nuoyi for his movement, the Gui Cang Sword Technique for attacking, and the Human-Shaped Weapon of Body Refining Technique for defense.

Now his Invincible Taoist Outfit only lacked a Dao-level speed technique.

Yang Ji was very satisfied, he now had some foundation compared to those geniuses.

Looking out at the path to immortality, he too felt greater bravery and confidence.

Cultivation knows no years, and swiftly five years passed.

In these five years, Yang Ji had successfully broken through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

It was also in this fifth year that Jian Yuanzi sent him a message.

"Disciple, come out for a moment."

Hearing this, Yang Ji opened his eyes, gradually ended his cultivation, and stepped out of the secret room.

Outside the secret room, Jian Yuanzi was waiting.

Yang Ji saw [Frustration] and [Annoyance] hovering above his head and couldn't help but ask in a grave voice, "Master, has something happened?"

"Fifty years ago, while resisting the beast tide, Granny Tianshang from Changqing Gate and I discovered a Heavenly Spirit Fruit tree in a secret cave on a deserted island, which bore four Spirit Fruits, though they weren't ripe yet."

"We agreed that once the Spirit Fruits were ripe, we would each take two."

"But today, when I went to that deserted island, that Granny Tianshang, attracted by the alluring Spirit Fruits, actually wanted to swallow them all!" Jian Yuanzi said with frustration.

"Granny Tianshang? The most senior Nascent Soul True Monarch in Changqing Gate? She wants to make a move against you, Master?" Yang Ji asked with a frown.

"That's not it. Although I have been expelled by the Dao Sect, my strength is second only to the three great supremes in the Thousand-Islands Sea Area, she wouldn't dare act rashly in front of me."

"However, she resorted to underhanded tactics, secretly placing restrictions on the Spirit Fruits, which would destroy them the moment I tried to pick them."

"She didn't want to share equally and proposed another method of distribution, a contest!"

Jian Yuanzi said with slight anger, "Granny Tianshang challenged me to two bouts, only allowing the use of our direct disciples."

"She knew that Chang Xiao is my disciple, invincible under Nascent Soul True Monarchs, yet she still suggested a contest, relying on the fact that her eldest disciple recently had a breakthrough to Nascent Soul True Monarch."

"Moreover, by suggesting two contests, she played a little trick, thinking I only had Chang Xiao as my disciple, and she could easily win the second round unopposed. She really thought things through."

"This Heavenly Spirit Fruit is a good thing. If you use it, your cultivation speed will greatly increase. I absolutely won't give up."

"She doesn't know that although Chang Xiao is only a Golden Core True Person, after five years of rigorous cultivation, his techniques have reached a transformative state, and his combat power is entirely enough to defeat an ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarch."

"If she were to split the fruits normally, she could still get two, but if she resorts to tricks, I won't let her get even one."

"Disciple, let's go. Later on, you also choose a Foundation Establishment opponent to fight. With your insights and understanding of the techniques, you're definitely not comparable to her mediocre disciples."

Jian Yuanzi felt the frustration lessen somewhat as he thought of his two outstanding disciples.

Yang Ji, with his Golden Finger, could see the weaknesses and gaps in others, understand the power behind each of their moves, and decide whether to attack or dodge. Facing an opponent of the same level, he was not the slightest bit afraid.

He immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, Master!"

Then he looked around the great hall and asked, "Where is Chang Xiao, Senior Brother? Where is he?"

"Chang Xiao has already gone to the deserted island, watching over that old witch, preventing her from making a move and picking the fruits first," said Jian Yuanzi.

"I see!" Yang Ji nodded in understanding.

"Well, disciple, let us be on our way." Jian Yuanzi grabbed Yang Ji and fled the great hall, heading towards a deserted island in the stench-ridden sea.

Nascent Soul True Monarchs moving at instantaneous extreme speeds, with the scenery of heaven and earth changing very quickly, both of them soon became two streaks of light landing on top of a deserted island.

Li Changxiao, sensing those who were approaching, came over with a smile: "Master, Junior Brother, you have arrived."

"Senior Brother!" Yang Ji called out with a smile.

Li Changxiao, after five years of seclusion, hadn't changed much in demeanor, but the aura he emanated was much stronger, like the edge concealed in a calm sea, poised to erupt into towering waves and tempests when released.

(Just one chapter today, I'm organizing the outline, I'm about to burst.)
