Chapter 4 Breakthrough
Chapter 4 Breakthrough
The matter of Body Alchemy, Su Yu didn’t talk about it with anyone, including the family hierarchy, perhaps after saying it he would be able to get better and more resources from the family, but while getting the resources, the responsibilities and matters on his body would likewise increase.
The danger will even increase exponentially, which is unfavorable for a rookie Immortal Cultivator who is new to the Immortal Path.
Don’t forget.
In addition to their Immortal Cultivator Su Family in Jiang Cheng, there was also a Lin Family.
The Lin family and their Su family were very much at odds.
In previous Immortal Cultivation games, some people had counted the probability of a game character taking the High Profile Genius Cultivation Route versus the Gou Dao Cultivation Route to eventually become an Immortal.
The ratio of the former to the latter was roughly one to nine.
That is to say, the person who went to the end of high-profile immortal cultivation was only equivalent to one-ninth of Gou Dao.
Compared to getting a small amount of Immortal Cultivation resources from his family, Su Yu would rather cultivate in a low profile and slowly Gou proficiency himself.
Without raising his strength, he would never leave the clan.
Three months after returning from the Cloud Sword Sect, Su Qing Yi, who lived not far from the next door, broke through to the second level of the Qi Refining Realm.
After treating Su Yu to a meal to brag about it, Su Qingyi chose to go to one of the Su family’s medicinal fields to become a medicinal apprentice, learning to cultivate spirit medicines as well as analyzing the medicinal properties of spirit medicines.
This was the first step to becoming an alchemy apprentice.
At the second level of the Qi Refining Realm, one could receive two lower grade spirit stones and fifty pounds of spirit rice monthly payment from the family.
Plus traveling to the medicinal fields as a medicinal apprentice, one could receive another two lower grade spirit stones per month.
This was still quite a sizable resource.
At least compared to Su Yu.
“Medium grade spirit root cultivation speed is still really fast.” Su Yu sighed in his heart as he broke through to the second level of the Qi Refining Realm in three months.
This rate of improvement could even be comparable to a top grade spirit root.
Drinking up the fine wine left behind by Su Qing Yi, Su Yu gently shook his head and sank his heart to continue his own cultivation.
The most important thing every day was the cultivation of the Sycamore Greenwood Skill.
Although this wood attribute technique was not strong in terms of mana and slow in terms of cultivation speed, it was superior in terms of being calm and thick, and was more effective in healing injuries and even prolonging life.
Cultivating to the ninth level of completion, in the Qi Refining Realm, one could prolong one’s life for at least twenty years.
This twenty years of life extension was still very attractive to many people, so there were not many people in the Su family who practiced the Sycamore Green Wood Technique.
Moreover, the Su Family being able to start had a lot to do with the Sycamore Greenwood Skill.
Currently, the Su Family mainly relied on the business of cultivating spirit medicines, and the mana of the Sycamore Greenwood Skill was very helpful for the growth of spirit medicines.
Cultivating the Sycamore Green Wood Skill for four hours a day reached the limit.
This was followed by practicing the Wood Vine Technique as well as the Spirit Nurturing Technique, both of which were only introductory spells.
The Wooden Vine Technique was mainly used to trap enemies, and the Spirit Nurturing Technique was mainly used to cultivate spirit medicines.
It wasn’t difficult to increase the proficiency, and over the past few months, the proficiency of the two spells was already close to a hundred percent perfection.
“Gotta find another spell to cultivate before I can do that.” Su Yu secretly said.
But there was no rush.
Another clan trade fair, Su Yu brought Rindong, the girl, along to hang out.
At the trade fair, Su Yu found a wood attribute spell to his liking: the Spirit Spear Technique.
The transaction price was not high, just one inferior spirit stone.
This spell could use mana to condense a battle spear to break through the air and kill the enemy, which could have strange effects when combined with the Wooden Vine Technique.
Although Su Yu was not rich in spirit stones, he still traded this spell.
“Let’s go, go back.”
Without this month’s inferior spirit stones, the rest of the stalls naturally didn’t need to be looked at anymore, Su Yu returned to his own courtyard and practiced the Spirit Spear Technique at ease.
The strength of the Spirit Spear Art was completely related to one’s own mana, when the more and stronger mana you infused, the stronger the battle spear you condensed. However, the more mana consumed was also more.
“For the time being, having this attack spell at the first level of the Qi Refining Realm is enough.” Su Yu was satisfied, his strength was not enough, he would never be greedy for more.
Time slowly passed.
The bucket turned and the stars shifted.
Spring goes and fall comes.
In the blink of an eye.
It had already been a year since Su Yu returned from the Cloud Sword Sect, and during this year, in addition to cultivating every day, Su Yu was roaming around the Canonical Collection Pavilion as well as the various markets in Jiang City.
From time to time, he went to find his fifth grandfather Su Bin to chat, and from Su Bin’s mouth, he knew quite a few interesting stories about the Immortal Cultivation World.
This old man in the family belongs to a more special one, usually in addition to staying in the Pavilion, but also from time to time will disappear without seeing anyone, do not know where to go.
The other elders of the family, and even the head of the family, paid no attention to his whereabouts and idleness.
Su Yu had once asked that old man, but as a result, Su Bin just hemmed and hawed, telling him to stop being so curious as a little kid.
On this day, Su Yu was in the middle of his cultivation when a green aura flashed on his body and his mana skyrocketed.
Cultivation breath finally broke through from the first layer of the Qi Refining Realm to the second layer of the Qi Refining Realm.
Cultivation breakthrough, Su Yu did not hide, found the second elder to show the breakthrough cultivation, from the hands of the second elder received a breakthrough in the second layer of the Qi Refining Realm reward.
Doubling the monthly payment, which was one inferior spirit stone as well as thirty pounds of inferior spirit rice.
On top of that, his monthly payment after the second level of the Qi Refining Realm would be two lower-grade Spirit Stones and fifty pounds of lower-grade Spirit Rice every month.
It took a year to break through from the first level of the Qi Refining Realm to the second level of the Qi Refining Realm, such talent was considered to be at the bottom of that level.
It would not attract attention at all.
Even if someone knew that Su Yu had broken through to the second level of the Qi Refining Realm, he would only shake his head, one year to break through, really wasteful, and would turn his head and forget about Su Yu.
However, Su Yu’s cultivation breakthrough, Rindong was very happy, specially made a delicious meal for Su Yu, and the two of them celebrated a little in their own courtyard.
Another clan trade fair, Su Yu saw quite a few demonic beasts’ essence blood for sale on the stalls, there were pre-first stage demonic beasts’ essence blood, there were also a few drops of mid-first stage demonic beasts’ essence blood.
“So much demonic beast essence blood? A small-scale beast tide has appeared in the medicinal field?” Su Yu was surprised in his heart.
With a lower grade spirit stone saved in his hand, he bought two drops of mid-first stage demonic beast essence blood, and strolled around the trade fair without seeing the figure of the fifth elder, Su Bin, who had wanted to ask him about this, but now that he hadn’t seen anyone, he could only call it quits and leave.
Most half a year ago, Su Yu’s Body Refining Art had broken through to the second layer.
After this half year of cultivation, a month ago the Body Refining Art had broken through to the third layer.
Returning to the courtyard.
A line of words emerged under Su Yu’s concentration.
[Name: Su Yu.]
[Cultivation: 2nd level of Qi Refining Realm.]
[Longevity: 17/99.]
[Technique: Sycamore Greenwood Technique (2nd level, 1.42% proficiency), Crocodile Demon 108 Styles Body Refining Technique (3rd level, 10.67% proficiency)].
[Spells: Wooden Vine Technique (Perfection), Spirit Nurturing Technique (Perfection), Spirit Spear Technique (Perfection)].
“With two drops of mid-first stage demonic beast essence blood, try to see if you can impact the fourth layer of the Body Refining Art within two or three months.” Su Yu looked at the proficiency panel in thought.
There were still spells, after accumulating some Spirit Stones, he could look to see if there were more powerful spells for himself.
Or perhaps, it was time to consider thinking about alchemy or refining talismans as a side business?
With the proficiency panel, it would be a huge waste if you didn’t use your free time to upgrade your side business and save up some pocket money.
“Alchemy, artifact refining, talisman refining, as well as array formation and so on, these side businesses are all very lucrative.” Su Yu’s eyes shone slightly as he pondered.
With money, the speed of his cultivation could be greatly increased.
