Chapter 708: Advancement

After the preaching ended, the people remaining on the Transmission Square also asked Su Fan for advice, whether they were Purple Mansion cultivators or Golden Core cultivators, about the problems they encountered in their cultivation. For Su Fan, it was nothing, and he quickly pointed out the paths they had taken.

Su Fan looked at the Great Elder Su Shi'an. Among the Purple Mansion cultivators of the Profound Heaven Sect, the Great Elder Su Shi'an's cultivation was also considered medium-to-high.

His cultivation had already reached the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion, and his cultivation speed had already surpassed that of ordinary dual-spirit-root cultivators.

Being able to have such a fast cultivation speed was inseparable from the resources of the Profound Heaven Sect today.

After all, abundant spiritual energy and various spirit pills could assist in cultivation. More importantly, by using the fire origin apricot to breathe mana, the Great Elder's own cultivation method was also fire-attributed.

And it was also a cultivation method created by Su Fan that could reach the peak of the Golden Core ninth level.

With the help of the fire origin apricot, complementing each other, the cultivation speed was naturally not one plus one equals two.

However, today, Su Shi'an looked extremely happy, so Su Fan couldn't help but ask what was worth him being so happy.

"The fire origin apricot has advanced and become a fourth-tier fire origin apricot tree."

The Great Elder couldn't help but say this, and everyone present was shocked, followed by being very happy.

Although the fire origin apricot tree was refined by Su Shi'an to breathe mana and accelerate cultivation, Su Shi'an didn't monopolize the fire origin apricot spirit fruits.

Every time it bore fruit, Su Shi'an only took two, and the remaining eight spirit fruits were placed in the family's treasury.

This third-tier high-grade fire origin apricot, not to mention being used for alchemy, just by taking it, was also excellent for cultivators who practiced fire-attributed cultivation methods.

It contained an extremely majestic fire origin power. Cultivators who practiced fire-attributed cultivation methods, especially Purple Mansion cultivators, could increase their mana by more than ten years by taking and refining one.

This was equivalent to saving more than ten years of cultivation time.

Even late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators would still have effects after taking it. Of course, this fire origin apricot only had such a great effect on cultivators who practiced fire-attributed cultivation methods.

For other cultivation methods, the effect would be greatly reduced, and even if you were a person who practiced water-attributed cultivation methods, taking this fire origin apricot would instead cause mana conflict in the dantian.

Although this fire origin apricot had limitations in this regard, it still made many disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect look forward to it. After all, there were many disciples who practiced fire-attributed cultivation methods, and many three-spirit-root and four-spirit-root cultivators liked to choose to practice fire-attributed cultivation methods.

First, the Profound Heaven Sect's "Purple Flame Divine Fire Technique" was a method that could be cultivated to the peak of the Golden Core, and the accompanying Purple Flame Divine Fire divine ability was also very powerful. As long as one could comprehend it, more than fifty percent of cultivators could successfully cultivate this divine ability.

Fire-attributed cultivation methods themselves were extremely outstanding in terms of combat, not inferior to metal-attributed ones at all. In terms of power, it was likely only half a step worse than thunder-attributed cultivation methods.

However, thunder spirit roots were scarce themselves, and thunder path cultivation methods were even fewer.

Therefore, in the Profound Heaven Sect, there were the most metal-attributed and fire-attributed cultivators, especially fire-attributed ones, because fire-attributed cultivation methods also had some bonuses for alchemy and artifact refining.

Naturally, more people chose them.

Some disciples who had channels in the sect often chose this one, after all, as long as they cultivated to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, they had a chance to get the fire origin apricot.

One fire origin apricot could save late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators twenty or thirty years of time. Although Foundation Establishment cultivators needed at least five years to refine one fire origin apricot,

everyone was still eager.

Unfortunately, this fire origin apricot only bore ten spirit fruits every thirty years, and there were many requests but no results, and the competition was extremely fierce. It wasn't just late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators; even Purple Mansion cultivators had a great demand for this fire origin apricot.

Generally, the family also used it for alchemy, so the spirit pills refined could satisfy more cultivators.

But compared to taking it alone, the effect of refining it into spirit pills was definitely not as good as the former.

It was just that generally, very few disciples could exchange for it, unless you had a lot of contribution.

This also increased the degree of involution among the disciples in the Profound Heaven Sect again. There were too many good things in the Profound Heaven Sect's treasury.

From Qi Refining to Golden Core cultivators, there were things they needed inside. Qi Refining cultivators were nothing more than for Foundation Establishment Pills or Vein Protecting Pills.

And for Foundation Establishment cultivators, the biggest goal was the treasures to open the Purple Mansion.

For the Purple Mansion stage, besides the spirit pills generally needed, the biggest demand was for Golden Core formation.

Of course, this time was too long, and there were very few cultivators preparing for Golden Core formation themselves, so the competition in this area was much slower.

Moreover, as high-level officials, they also knew that once they reached the peak of the Purple Mansion, the ancestor of the Profound Heaven Sect would personally take action to help them form the Golden Core.

On the contrary, the truly fierce competition was in the late Qi Refining and late Foundation Establishment stages. They were almost crazy for the sect's resources.

It was fine if they had elders, as the elders could support them a little, but those without any background could only fight hard.

The sect was quite fair and strict in terms of contribution. No one dared to play tricks in this area. As long as you completed the tasks issued by the sect, the contribution would be issued to your jade plate without a single point missing.

Precisely because of this, the loyalty of the inner and outer sect disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect today had been raised to a very high level.

The sect was fair, so for the disciples, they had hope. They could see hope, and each of them was high-spirited. In this way, the hearts of the people were even stronger.

Although it led to serious involution, it also made the growth speed of the sect disciples very fast.

Of course, performing sect missions outside had also become dangerous. Some late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, in order to get contribution to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills or Vein Protecting Pills, did not hesitate to hunt second-tier monsters.

It had to be said that these late-stage Qi Refining cultivators were very brave.

Several who had good relationships joined forces, and it really made quite a few outer sect disciples rise in the sect.

Many of these outer sect disciples were from loose cultivator backgrounds or small family backgrounds, and they could fight to the death for resources.

This was indeed much stronger than those inner sect disciples.

After all, many inner sect disciples had elders in the sect serving as elders or deacons, so they didn't lack resources.

Although they couldn't use their own contribution to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills or Vein Protecting Pills, they could go through other channels to buy them.

After all, the Profound Heaven Sect had now opened up channels to major states like the Wu State and the Nanli State, so it didn't lack these resources in this regard.

Therefore, the competition among many inner sect disciples was relatively gentle.

The sect's high-level officials also saw this, but they were not in a hurry. ===== CHAPTER 709 =====
