Chapter 71 - Frightening Cultivation Speed
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The cave abode was extremely spacious and after some quiet meditation, Su Zimo contained his excitement of joining the sect. Placing the sect badge around his waist like Xue Yi, he took out the two manuals.
Spirit Peering Art was a fundamental skill in the cultivation world where almost every cultivator had to learn it. Through lining their eyes with spirit qi, one could determine the cultivation realm of other cultivators.
But of course, there are rare cultivation techniques as well that could help one hide their cultivation realm from Spirit Peering Art’s detection.
The Qi Condensation manual could be considered as an entry skill for Ethereal Sect.
Everything from opening storage bags, cultivating the Spirit Peering Art, sword kinesis flight, refining elixirs and weapons required one to have spirit qi.
Because Su Zimo had a Fire spirit root, the spirit qi he could manifest from Qi Condensation would naturally carry the fire element.
Before he left, Xue Yi had informed Su Zimo that there would be a welcome ceremony held 10 days later at Ethereal Palace which was situated at the main peak of Ethereal Sect. Along with many seniors, the sect master would be present as well and all the new disciples were required to attend it.
Su Zimo did not know the speed in which others cultivated at. However, he merely felt that it was unusual for him to cultivate that quickly.
After all, he had not even made use of spirit stones and elixirs yet for the previous night.
If he had used them, wouldn’t his cultivation speed be even faster?
He decided to cast aside all his queries first and to ask his other seniors when he had the chance.
The thought of spirit stones gave Su Zimo an idea.
Before he left Ping Yang Town, he killed Zhou Dingyun and had managed to obtain a storage bag.
Now that he was at Level 2 Qi Condensation, he could finally use it.
Taking out Zhou Dingyun’s storage bag, a stream of spirit qi flowed out of Su Zimo’s fingertips as he touched the storage bag gently.
It opened up and a space floated out from within with more than 1,300 inferior-grade spirit stones lined together. Other than another jade bottle, there was nothing else.
He opened the jade bottle – it contained three elixirs as a gentle fragrance wafted out.
Su Zimo whiffed at the fragrance and the calm spirit qi that was contained in his dantian began to rumble.
He instantly understood that those three elixirs would benefit him in absorbing spirit qi.
For someone like him who had just achieved Qi Condensation, this was quite a small fortune.
Su Zimo kept the spirit stones, elixirs, Sanguine Crystal Bow, Cold Moon Saber and the quiver on his back into the storage bag given to him by the sect.
Right away, his entire body felt lighter with one ton worth of weight removed.
The amazing thing about storage bags was that no matter the weight of the items kept in them, the user would not feel it at all.
Opening the manual for the Spirit Peering Art, Spirit Peering Art began cultivating it.
He spent the rest of his time cultivating the Qi Condensation manual in the daytime and The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness in the nighttime. Just like that, 10 days had passed.
The welcome ceremony for the seven new disciples of the sect had finally arrived.
Su Zimo tidied his attire before leaping off his stone bed.
Even though 10 days had passed, Su Zimo’s Qi Condensation was still at Level 1 and had not increased!
In reality, he was already at Level 4 Qi Condensation by the seventh day and his dantian had amassed a large amount of spirit qi.
However, Su Zimo recalled Die Yue’s advice – some of the truly talented cultivators would choose to use the spirit qi to refine their physical body while cultivating.
For the next three days thereafter, he used all the spirit qi he had amassed to refine his body, leaving only a portion left in his dantian.
Even though he made no progress for his Marrow Cleansing section, Su Zimo’s body was now much stronger than it was 10 days ago.
He estimated that by now, even a full forced attack by a Level 10 Perfected Qi Refinement Warrior using an inferior-grade spirit weapon would not be able to pierce his skin!
