Chapter 113: Thank You, Sister Qingxue, for the Gift

"It's the Azure Flame Seven-Repair Lance..."

After receiving the transmission of divine abilities from Elder Chuan Gong, Fang Yu left the True Transmission Palace and returned to Zi Dian Peak.

At this moment, he looked at the jade slip in his hand, which bore the five large characters "Azure Flame Seven-Repair Lance," and his emotions stirred slightly.

Of the Eight Great Divine Abilities of Yuhua Sect, the one he most wanted to cultivate was undoubtedly Great Freeing Mysterious Golden Sword Qi—who hasn't dreamed of becoming a sword immortal?

Mysterious Golden Sword Qi arrives in an instant from a thousand li away, annihilating a cultivator's physical body.

Especially above Great Freeing Mysterious Golden Sword Qi lies the Instant Kill Technique, capable of killing at hundreds, even thousands or tens of thousands of times the speed of sound—thought alone, the enemy is instantly obliterated.

Metal-type divine abilities, without doubt, are the deadliest in combat.

But this time, Elder Chuan Gong transmitted to him a fire-type great divine ability: the Azure Flame Seven-Repair Lance, the same as the one cultivated at Jin Jin Shitai, which seemed somewhat unsatisfactory.

Yet the Azure Flame Seven-Repair Lance was still a great divine ability, a fire-type great divine ability; after Fang Yu regained his composure, he remained enthusiastic and began cultivating it.

"The hardest thing now is where to obtain fire-type rare treasures to enhance magic power."

Fang Yu sat cross-legged in empty space, activating his cultivation method; magic power flowed outside his body, capturing a trace of fire essence from heaven and earth, then swirling sharply and drawing back.

His strength increased slightly, but this time the increase was minimal.

1st Stage of Divine Abilities, Magical Power Realm. This realm transforms spirit into magic power—spirit is formless and intangible, magic power is formless yet tangible.

2nd Stage of Divine Abilities, True Qi Realm. This realm refines formless yet tangible magic power into tangible, visible, and touchable true qi; the solidity and resilience of power increase by a step.

This is a sign of greater advancement in divine abilities.

Now, when Fang Yu uses magic power to seize and strike others, they see only formless air currents; but if he reaches the True Qi Realm, everyone will see the azure flames.

Even when his Azure Flame Seven-Repair Lance true qi reaches an extremely profound level, he can manifest it as a sky-spanning sea of azure flame.

But now, while cultivating the Azure Flame Seven-Repair Lance on Zi Dian Peak, his progress is extremely slow, for there are insufficient fire-type treasures here.

Zi Dian Peak has many spirit fields, but most are planted with wood-type herbs, and there are also rare beasts and treasures—but none suit his cultivation of the Azure Flame Seven-Repair Lance.

To reach the 2nd Stage of Divine Abilities, True Qi Realm, on Zi Dian Peak, he might need decades of effort.

"Fang Yu, you've already broken through to the Divine Ability Secret Realm? Good, very good—our Fang family now has another Divine Ability Secret Realm expert."

At that moment, lightning flashed across Zi Dian Peak; two violet thunder yin serpents raced swiftly from afar and halted before Fang Yu.

It was Fang Qingxue returning.

She gazed at Fang Yu, confirming he had indeed reached the Divine Ability Secret Realm; her expression brightened slightly.

"Yes, sister, if even the Yin-Yang Wan Shou Elixir couldn't help me reach the Divine Ability Secret Realm, I'd be utterly useless."

Seeing Fang Qingxue arrive, Fang Yu smiled and spoke.

"This is great news—Fang Yu, now that you've broken through to the Divine Ability Secret Realm, our Fang family won't remain isolated and branchless in Yuhua Sect."

Fang Qingxue seemed slightly moved, then quickly suppressed this rare emotion. "What divine ability did Elder Chuan Gong transmit to you?"

"Sister, it's the Azure Flame Seven-Repair Lance."

Fang Yu uttered five words.

"Azure Flame Seven-Repair Lance? A fire-type great divine ability—not bad. If cultivated well, it won't fall short of my Zi Dian Yin Thunder Knife. But to reach its ultimate depth, you'll need to venture out and undergo trials."

Fang Qingxue nodded, then furrowed her brow, seemingly pondering how to cultivate the Azure Flame Seven-Repair Lance.

In her contemplation, she withdrew a stone-like object.

"I happen to have a fire-type treasure—I obtained it during my travels in Gui Xu—called Bing Huo Star Stone. I don't need it for cultivating Zi Dian Yin Thunder Knife, so I'll give it to you. But once you absorb this fire treasure, you must leave and undergo trials. Immortal cultivation cannot be achieved within the sect—you need celestial fortune."

"Thank you, sister."

Fang Yu's face lit up with joy; he reached out, snatching the Bing Huo Star Stone into his hand, and as he carefully sensed it, he felt the dense, potent Bing fire essence contained within.

If he could refine this treasure, his magic power would likely leap to a much higher level.

"You should cultivate here these next few days—hone your magic power, enhance your strength. I've just reached the 4th Stage of Divine Abilities, Yin-Yang Realm, and soon I'll enter the Small Immortal Realm to cultivate, striving to reach the Heavenly Man Realm."

Fang Qingxue nodded as Fang Yu accepted the Bing Huo Star Stone, then continued: "For the coming days, I'll remain in the Small Immortal Realm until I reach the Heavenly Man Realm. I'll have the Heavenly Artisan Elder build your True Transmission Peak near Zi Dian Peak—then we'll be closer, able to support each other."

As she spoke, Fang Qingxue casually moved her hand, and a violet thunder spirit butterfly appeared in empty space, then flew off into the distance.

"Yes, sister."

Fang Yu nodded.

He knew that after each Divine Ability Secret Realm disciple became a True Transmission disciple, the sect's Heavenly Artisan Elder would dispatch Great Divine Demons to construct a True Transmission Peak, complete with palaces, as the disciple's cultivation grounds.

True Transmission disciples hold exalted status—they cannot live in caves like Inner or Outer Sect disciples; they must have their own peak, connected to earth fire, with spirit fields, rare treasures, and exotic beasts.

These are all things a True Transmission disciple may possess—essentially, they have their own estate.

Each year, the spirit fields of True Transmission disciples yield vast quantities of spirit herbs, usable for refining Essence Elixir, Grain Grain Bigu Elixir, and others.

To refine even more advanced elixirs, one must venture out and acquire various rare treasures.

Now that Fang Qingxue had departed, Fang Yu began cultivating the Azure Flame Seven-Repair Lance on Zi Dian Peak.

Before him lay the Bing Huo Star Stone—he didn't know how it had formed, but he sensed its Bing fire essence was abundant.

Bing fire essence was precisely what was essential for cultivating the Azure Flame Seven-Repair Lance.

His magic power seeped outward, entering the stone, then drawing back a trace of Bing fire energy.

The formless magic power gradually turned a deep azure, then was absorbed into Fang Yu's mind.

Inhale, exhale.

Fang Yu's strength began to increase.

In a short time, his magic power reached one hundred and ten Huang Huang Lie Ma's worth of strength.

In mere moments, he gained ten Huang Huang Lie Ma's worth of strength—fifty thousand jin.

"When I was in the Physical Body Realm, gaining one Huang Huang Lie Ma's worth of strength was incredibly difficult; now that I've entered the Divine Ability Secret Realm and shattered the constraints, my strength can increase infinitely—this is the true benefit of the Divine Ability Secret Realm. Truly delightful."

Fang Yu cultivated for a while longer, his strength reaching one hundred and twenty Huang Huang Lie Ma's worth of strength.

Six hundred thousand jin of immense power.
