Chapter 61: Fast-Forward Ends
Wangyue Peak, Half-Mountain Pavilion. Absorbing the last trace of purple energy, Su Fan also slowly spat out a breath of waste energy.
"Eight years!"
Opening his eyes, looking at the changing sea of clouds in the distance, under the illumination of the morning sun, it was colorful, forming all kinds of beautiful scenery. However, this beautiful scenery could not bring Su Fan any good mood.
Eight years of uninterrupted cultivation, the soul seed between his eyebrows finally disappeared completely, and he absorbed it.
But his cultivation didn't reach what he had originally imagined.
Fifth layer of Qi Refining, finally with the help of the last trace of the soul seed's power, he broke through to the fifth layer of Qi Refining two days ago.
This cultivation speed, not to mention being placed in five spiritual roots, was considered fast even among three spiritual roots.
However, Su Fan knew that being able to reach the fifth layer of Qi Refining, most of the credit was due to the soul seed, which was exchanged for the accumulation of decades in the previous world.
According to his own cultivation, I'm afraid at most he could barely reach the third layer of Qi Refining, which would be very good.
Don't look at the difference of two layers, but the gap between each layer was still very large.
Compared to a third-layer Qi Refining cultivator and a fourth-layer one, generally speaking, the latter could beat three of the former.
Of course, if there were good magic tools, then fighting across levels was not impossible.
Fifth layer of Qi Refining, placed in the same age group, Su Fan was definitely number one. Among the disciples of his age in the family, there were only more than ten.
His cultivation was already very good, and even the elder guarding the Scripture Pavilion had much praise for Su Fan.
Su Fan's cultivation speed even attracted the attention of the Foundation Establishment Great Elder of the Shi generation, who personally met him once.
This was a very great honor, personally testing his spiritual roots, and the result was five spiritual roots.
But Su Fan's cultivation speed was not comparable to five spiritual roots on the surface. The latter finally came to a conclusion, that is, Su Fan likely had a transcendent physique.
This kind of physique was not non-existent in the immortal cultivation world, such as the Taiyin Body, the Solar Dao Body, which were also very powerful. Even if the spiritual roots were not good, there was still a great opportunity to grow up.
Although he couldn't detect what kind of physique Su Fan had, in short, Su Fan's status in the family had indeed increased by a few points.
It could be seen from his salary. Before being met by the Foundation Establishment Great Elder, he only had two spiritual stones and one Yellow Bud Pill every year.
But after that, his salary increased from two spiritual stones to four every year, and the pills also increased by one.
The salary doubled.
In the immortal cultivation world, spiritual stones are the currency of the secular world. The difference is that spiritual stones can be used for cultivation.
One high-grade spiritual stone equals one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones, and one middle-grade spiritual stone equals one hundred low-grade spiritual stones.
Su Fan and the others were naturally all low-grade spiritual stones.
One low-grade spiritual stone was enough for a cultivator like Su Fan to cultivate for ten days or half a month.
Of course, most cultivators wouldn't use spiritual stones for cultivation so extravagantly, but would choose to use spiritual stones to restore magic power at critical moments.
In daily cultivation, they all absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Su Fan hadn't accumulated a single spiritual stone in eight years, and all of them were used for cultivation.
He wouldn't be like others who kept them; increasing his own strength was the most important thing.
The power of the soul seed was gone, and the spiritual stones and pills were also used up. Next, Su Fan knew that his cultivation speed would drop significantly.
Perhaps in the future, it might be five years or ten years to improve one layer of cultivation, which was very common in the immortal cultivation world.
The accumulation of magic power was even slower than internal energy.
Su Fan naturally didn't want to be so slow. He hoped that he could reach the ninth layer of Qi Refining before thirty years old.
This goal was not so easy. Even many two-spiritual-root cultivators, if they didn't have family or sect support behind them, would find it very difficult to do so.
"Spiritual stones, pills."
This was the fastest way to increase cultivation, but it was not easy. Yellow Bud Pills, he had already eaten dozens of them in these years.
Yellow Bud Pill was a first-tier middle-grade pill, and the price in the market was two or three spiritual stones. The effect was generally useful for cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining.
And now, Su Fan was already at the fifth layer of Qi Refining, and in eight years, he had taken so many Yellow Bud Pills that his body had developed resistance to the Yellow Bud Pill, and it almost had no effect.
In the future, I'm afraid he would have to change to another kind of pill.
"However, first I need to make money."
Su Fan was truly penniless. Except for the first-tier middle-grade magic tool flying sword bestowed by that Foundation Establishment Great Elder, he had nothing.
However, that first-tier middle-grade magic tool was not cheap, at least it was worth more than a hundred spiritual stones.
If it weren't for the fact that this magic tool was bestowed by the Foundation Establishment Great Elder, Su Fan would have thought of selling it and using it for cultivation.
As for magic tools used for fighting, increasing strength, Su Fan wouldn't leave Yunwu Mountain for the time being, and there wouldn't be too much danger.
And Su Fan had practiced quite a few magic techniques, especially various magic techniques used for fighting.
Su Fan's spiritual roots were five spiritual roots. Although his cultivation speed was very poor, it was not entirely a disadvantage. At least in practicing magic techniques, he could practice all kinds of magic techniques.
And with the evolution of the cheat, he practiced magic techniques faster and even more powerfully.
The simplest Fireball Technique, Su Fan could cast instantly, and after evolution, its power also increased by a few points.
Plus, in these eight years, he didn't forget to temper his body while cultivating immortality. His internal energy was only used to practice Purple Cloud internal energy to nourish his meridians.
Because the gap between internal energy and magic power was too big, it was useless. Even if it was the strongest punch he exploded in his previous life, I'm afraid it would barely be about the same power as a Fireball Technique he had now.
In this way, he wouldn't put effort into internal energy at all.
Instead, because of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this world, there were unexpected surprises in body tempering.
Refining spiritual energy itself had the incidental effect of nourishing the flesh. After he practiced the body tempering method obtained from the martial arts world, he had been practicing hard for these eight years, and his flesh was even more powerful than the decades of hard practice in his previous life.
Just the strength of his flesh alone was enough to reach three thousand catties.
If this were to fight someone in close quarters, perhaps there would be unexpected surprises.
And the defense of his flesh was probably not inferior to many old monsters who had practiced the Thirteen Taibao horizontal training kung fu for decades.
It could be invulnerable to swords and spears, and the skin looked like white jade, but it was as hard as jade and iron.
Of course, Su Fan had also tried it. His flesh definitely couldn't block middle-grade magic tools, but compared to the flesh of ordinary cultivators, it was still much more powerful.
A powerful flesh had great benefits in many aspects.
As for fighting, it went without saying.
And Su Fan's flesh could continue to be tempered. He was already prepared to melt many body tempering methods obtained from his previous life into a body tempering method.
Unfortunately, there was no body tempering method in the Su family's Scripture Pavilion. He didn't know if there was no body tempering method in this world, but the evolution space provided by the Universe Mirror...
... he could slowly deduce it. Although it was very slow, he was not short of time for the time being. ===== CHAPTER 62 =====
