CHAPTER 856: Fifteen Years Later
"I will not let Shishu's expectations down and will do my utmost to break through my bottleneck."
"If I don’t succeed, I will die trying!"
"Disciple takes leave."
After expressing his gratitude, Yan Kai immediately clasped his hands in respect and took his leave, noticing that Shishu showed no intention of saying more.
Having suddenly obtained a Conception Spirit Object, along with three more, he felt an intense sense of unreality.
As he walked, he felt a little lightheaded.
These three spirit objects, if exchanged with loose cultivators of the Golden Core or the Golden Core members of small families or factions, even if they cultivated to the pinnacle of the Golden Core, might not be able to collect even one of them in their lifetime!
"I wonder if this kid's good luck will continue."
Looking at Yan Kai's departing figure, Liu Yu shook his head slightly and withdrew his gaze.
With the assistance of three spirit objects, combined with his own foundation, he estimated that Yan Kai's chances of conceiving were about 30% to 40%.
The main contribution came from the Conception Spirit Objects, a success rate that would make countless Golden Core cultivators envious.
For the vast majority of Golden Core cultivators, a 30% chance was already enough to take a shot!
Many Golden Core cultivators, even after exhausting their lives, could not gather a single spirit object and ended up having to forcefully attempt a breakthrough before their golden years ended.
The theoretical success rate was even less than 10%.
Yet, the determination of cultivators to seek immortality and enlightenment cannot be stopped by death!
Even with a success rate of less than 10%, many Golden Core cultivators throughout history have resolutely pressed on!
"How many grades can Yan Kai's elixir reach?"
"If it's a superior-grade Golden Core, it can also add a certain boost during conception, theoretically increasing the chances of success a bit."
Thinking this, Liu Yu stood up and walked toward the training room.
The Golden Core of a Golden Core cultivator, just like the Primordial Spirit of a yuan ying cultivator, cannot be casually revealed to outsiders; it is the greatest privacy of every cultivator.
If one were to pursue this matter to the end, it would only lead to enmity.
Thus, since the other party did not speak, as a senior of the sect, he also found it inappropriate to continue inquiring.
In any case, for Liu Yu, it seemed unimportant what grade Yan Kai's elixir would ultimately be.
Even if it were a ninth-grade Golden Core, so what?
It would only be a more powerful subordinate!
Reaching the mid-stage of the yuan ying realm and having refined the "Hunyuan Elixir", his cultivation strength was about to make another leap forward.
This was the confidence that came from possessing absolute strength; he believed he could suppress all unexpected situations!
...
The Heavenly Harmony Sect and Piao Xue Pavilion were successively eradicated, and Crescent Moon Valley and the Qingxu Sect also expressed their submission.
In another part of the Yan State, several major forces remained in a state of mutual restraint.
For the Yuan Yang Sect, the overall situation of the nearby cultivation world was relatively stable, allowing them to confidently open their doors to recruit disciples.
Under such circumstances, the Yuan Yang Sect recruited new disciples every three years, and the number of disciples rapidly increased.
At the same time, due to the war's benefits, they obtained sufficient resources for cultivating immortality, enabling their disciples to advance quickly in their cultivation.
Every year, there were many qi refining disciples attempting to break through to foundation establishment, and every few years, foundation establishment disciples also attempted to break through to the Golden Core realm.
Among them, there were certainly those who were disappointed, and those who were joyful.
Some soared to great heights, while others fell into the depths.
However, compared to the past, the number of those at the Yuan Yang Sect attempting to break through significant bottlenecks had noticeably increased during this period.
