CHAPTER 917: Radiant Night Cave Heaven
Excluding ancient spiritual objects, among the elixirs and spiritual objects in the current cultivation world, Heavenly Fire Spiritual Ghost Herb ranks among the top.
For fire attribute cultivators, its effects are slightly better than the True Pill.
“Ah~”
With a furrowed brow, Liu Yu let out a low sigh.
Currently, very few spiritual objects in the cultivation world surpass the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Ghost Herb in effectiveness, and even fewer can be obtained through trade.
“The chaos is approaching. Relying on slow and steady efforts to break through the bottleneck is truly a waste of time; this approach is not advisable.”
“It seems I still have to rely on the more effective ancient spiritual objects.”
This thought flashed through Liu Yu’s mind.
Although the breakthrough had failed, he had coincidentally hit a good time, as numerous ancient secret realms had emerged one after another, revealing many ancient spiritual objects.
With his current strength, there was still a great chance to obtain them through trading and other means.
At this moment, with his body refinement cultivation ahead, Liu Yu had indeed considered breaking through to the fifth stage first through body refinement.
However, after careful thought, he ultimately abandoned this idea.
As always, among the three aspects of “essence, energy, and spirit,” the body, which represents “essence,” is the most stable and the hardest to achieve transformation.
If the resources needed for qi refinement to break through are one, then the resources for body refinement to break through are ten, or even a hundred!
Because of this, even in the most prosperous ancient times, there were very few fifth-stage body cultivators, and after ancient times, the decline was rapid.
Of course, the main reason is that Liu Yu currently has no clue on how to break through to the fifth stage of body refinement; he only knows that he needs to condense a “spiritual vein” within his physical body.
After all, he has always focused on qi refinement and spirit refinement in his cultivation.
With the dramatic changes in the cultivation world’s environment, even if he wanted to change his path now, he might not be able to find the resources needed to break through to the fifth stage of body refinement.
If he couldn’t even find the resources, the advantages of the Immortal Abode would not come into play, and it would just be a dead end.
Overall, if the difficulty of breaking through qi refinement is one, then the difficulty of breaking through to the fifth stage of body refinement is at least ten!
One is a broad highway, the other is a rugged path; Liu Yu certainly knows which path to choose.
Thus, even though the qi refinement breakthrough failed and the body refinement breakthrough succeeded, he still focused on the path of qi refinement.
As for spirit refinement, reaching the yuan ying realm is already inseparable from qi refinement, as yuan ying is the yuan spirit embryo!
“It seems I need to communicate more with fellow cultivators in the future to see if I can exchange for effective ancient spiritual objects to aid my breakthrough.”
With this thought, Liu Yu’s expression became resolute as he took out a black robe and put it on, then got up and walked toward the practice room exit.
The majestic mountains seem as hard as iron, and now he steps forth to start anew!
Though he failed to break through to the late nascent soul stage, he was fortunate that his control over spiritual power was exquisite, and he only suffered some minor injuries without greatly impacting the foundation of his cultivation path.
Thus, after a few years of recuperation, he could continue to advance body refinement.
After all, the transition from mid to late nascent soul stage is merely a small breakthrough in realm, not a major advancement, and the danger is relatively small.
For a cultivator like Liu Yu, who has accumulated considerable resources, the risk is actually not great.
“Step, step.”
