Chapter 363: Kunling Pearl
After all, it was just a natural enhancement from consuming spiritual fruits, and not through the practice of body refinement techniques, so the “weak points” that should exist were all there.
“The fifth and sixth rounds of demonic fire refining essence are complete.”
Liu Yu nodded slightly, feeling the state of his body, a smile appearing on his face.
At this time, the benefits brought by the spiritual connection energy had been mostly digested, and his spiritual pressure was significantly stronger than before, having stabilized completely.
Perhaps it was due to the enhanced affinity for spiritual energy, or perhaps the subtle effects of the spiritual connection energy.
Liu Yu could sense that the bottleneck hindering his advancement to the late stage of foundation establishment had become quite weak; with his originally mediocre talent, this was evidently impossible.
If he were to consume a Breakthrough Elixir at this moment, it was very likely he would successfully break through and advance to the late stage of foundation establishment!
And among the spoils he had acquired over the past two years, he happened to have an Azure Spirit Pill!
This was a “blood oath” presented by a foundation establishment family he had allied with, and he had accepted it without reserve.
“This improvement in cultivation has indeed been significant; although superficially there are no lingering issues, upon reflection, it still feels somewhat inappropriate.”
“After all, the process of cultivating immortality is fundamentally a transformation of the Primordial Spirit and a leap in life levels.”
“Even with the aid of spiritual objects, how can it be accomplished in one go?”
“It would be better to refine my cultivation for a while, to avoid having an overly fragile foundation or unexpected occurrences.”
Liu Yu thought for a moment, and according to his understanding of cultivating immortality, he chose to suppress the thought of immediately using the Azure Spirit Pill to break through.
With the completion of the demonic fire refining essence, the goal of this seclusion had been achieved.
He performed a set of Yuan Yang body refinement fist to invigorate the stagnant qi and blood from prolonged sitting, then walked out of the training room.
The stone gate slowly opened, revealing an empty hall.
Evidently, the newly acquired concubine, Ji Ruyan, was still consolidating her cultivation and would not be emerging for a short while.
Liu Yu carefully sensed for a while and discovered that in the room just a wall away, the spiritual pressure was gradually stabilizing.
Regarding the arrangements for this woman, he did not take long to contemplate before making a decision.
He could open another large jade alchemy hall, purchasing spiritual herbs while also selling some second-tier elixirs in exchange for spiritual stones.
By doing so, many of the ill-gotten spiritual stones in his possession could be legitimized.
After demonstrating a certain level of strength during this trip to Yan State, his status within the sect had risen significantly, no longer comparable to ordinary foundation establishment cultivators.
He could appropriately showcase a bit more of his alchemical skills to the outside world, circulate some second-tier elixirs, and increase his influence.
Moreover, the tangible benefits could facilitate connections with families like the Yan Family and Li Clan, making it easier for him to access the core of the sect.
There was even the possibility of planning to become a key disciple cultivated by the sect.
In short, he had already taken a side, and there was no going back to the other faction.
A shop selling second-tier elixirs must be presided over by a foundation establishment cultivator, and Ji Ruyan was quite suitable for this.
With two jade alchemy halls, he believed he wouldn't have to worry about spiritual stones for a long time.
He could simply instruct the two women to handle any matters, allowing him to focus solely on cultivation.
