Chapter 83

"Yes, this disciple thanks the ancestral elder and Jin Shibo for their kindness. I will definitely cultivate well in the inner sect and strive to have a day of Foundation Establishment in the future," Wang Yu heard the distance in Gu Jin Shibo's words, his heart skipped a beat, but he bowed and thanked him as usual.

"Take care of yourself. If you can truly reach Foundation Establishment in the future, it won't be in vain that the ancestral elder made an exception for you once," Gu Jin Shibo nodded and left with the blue-dressed woman behind him.

Wang Yu stood in place, respectfully watching the two fly away from the cliff.

"Master, didn't you originally intend for me to take care of Wang Shidi? Why did you just now..." On the white clouds, the blue-dressed woman asked the red-haired man in front of her in confusion.

"Tianqi, I am about to go into seclusion. I originally wanted you to take care of this Wang Shidi of yours; after all, his soul had problems, and he was someone the ancestral elder personally handed to me, so it wouldn't be right for me to just wash my hands of it.

But now that he has recovered as normal, there is no need for me to worry about it anymore. Otherwise, if I am too enthusiastic, some people will think I am deliberately trying to curry favor with the ancestral elder again," Gu Jin Shibo replied faintly.

"So that's it. Then what does Master think of this Wang Shidi? After all, disciples who can enter the inner sect with early Qi Refinement cultivation are rare in the Four Symbols Gate in these decades," the blue-dressed woman nodded and asked curiously.

"What else can I think? According to our sect's rules, inner sect disciples who haven't reached late Qi Refinement by the age of thirty will automatically lose their inner sect disciple status. Let this child pass this hurdle first," Gu Jin Shibo replied calmly.

"That's true. Although Wang Yu Shidi has a top-grade spirit root, he is after all a four-spirit-root possessor, so his cultivation speed is much slower than ours. It's indeed somewhat difficult for him to cultivate from early Qi Refinement to late stage in the remaining ten-plus years.

But if Wang Shidi can truly cultivate to the late stage, with his top-grade spirit root, his strength among inner sect disciples will likely be quite high," the blue-dressed woman nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

"For a four-spirit-root possessor to reach late Qi Refinement, it's basically impossible to rely on self-cultivation alone; they can only rely on pills and other external forces, but the resources consumed are so great that ordinary small and medium-sized cultivation families likely can't afford them.

Once he loses his inner sect disciple status, his cultivation will be even slower in the future, and he won't be from the same world as you.

My previous care for him was just to give the ancestral elder an explanation; you don't need to pay attention to this child in the future. Cultivating your own cultivation to Qi Refinement Great Perfection as soon as possible is the most important thing," Gu Jin Shibo instructed the woman with two sentences.

The blue-dressed woman naturally agreed immediately.

Wang Yu sat cross-legged on the stone bed, having just dripped a drop of Spirit Gathering Liquid between his brows, his hands placed on his knees, and faint red light flickering on his body surface as he operated the third-level Fire Spirit Art incantations, breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He had already decided that before reaching mid-Qi Refinement, he would wholeheartedly cultivate the Fire Spirit Art to the fourth level.

At this moment, in Wang Yu's spiritual sense induction, every breath sucked all the spiritual energy within a radius of several zhang into his body, but immediately more spiritual energy surged in from the void nearby.

Because the spiritual energy was too dense, it even formed wisps of pale white mist around his body, constantly drilling into his nose and mouth.

Is this the cultivation place for inner sect disciples of the sect?

With such pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth, cultivating for one day is stronger than cultivating outside for ten days before!

He could clearly feel that with every breath, the mana in his body increased by a wisp.

And this was still the effect of four-spirit-root cultivation; if it were a three-spirit-root or even a double-spirit-root, wouldn't the cultivation effect be even more heaven-defying?

Wang Yu was both surprised and delighted, and he also discovered that the operation of the Fire Spirit Art was indeed smoother and more free than the Yin Water Art.

After the time it takes to burn a stick and a half of incense, he was forced to exit cultivation when his spiritual sense was consumed too much and he could no longer focus.

Wang Yu checked his remaining mental power, and his brows furrowed.

It was clear that insufficient mental power had limited the duration of his cultivation.

If he could increase his daily cultivation time, that would also be a way to improve cultivation efficiency.

If it were before, his only way to increase mental power would be to passively increase his mental power upper limit every time his cultivation realm broke through.

But now, he had brought back a "Star Thought Art" from Blue Star that was said to be able to significantly increase mental power, but he didn't know if it could be cultivated in the cultivation world and what the effect would be.

Wang Yu pondered this, closed his eyes slightly, and the cultivation method for the first level of the Star Thought Art emerged in his brain.

The cultivation method for this Star Thought Art was not complicated, but it required specific items to assist at specific times to be cultivated.

Specific times were easy to say, but this specific item, "Star Stone," was somewhat troublesome.

According to the cultivation method, the so-called Star Stone is a type of meteorite containing special energy. On Blue Star, generally one out of ten meteorites is a Star Stone, and every time Star Thought power is cultivated, a large amount of Star Stones is consumed, and the consumption increases the further one goes.

Does the cultivation world also have Star Stones?

Wang Yu was not too sure, but he definitely had to find them first.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu reached into his bosom and took out a white communication talisman. After shaking it in the wind, it transformed into a white light disc phantom the size of a palm.

Wang Yu hurriedly said a few words to the light disc phantom. After a moment, Zhou Chu's voice came from the light disc phantom:

"Wang Shidi, if you want to buy some special materials, there are two places in the sect you can go.

One is the 'Spirit Item Pavilion' in the General Affairs Hall where you collected things last time, but the price is not much cheaper than the outside markets, and some rare materials must be bought with enough merit. But fortunately, the items are all good, and there won't be any quality fraud issues.

The other is a small inner market formed spontaneously by sect disciples, where you can trade some resources you don't want to sell to the Spirit Item Pavilion. This market generally only has people at night; there is no one during the day. Its location is..."

The light disc phantom had just finished transmitting Zhou Chu's words when Wang Yu hurriedly said a few words of thanks, and it shattered and disappeared with a "Puff."

Wang Yu subsequently got up immediately and left the stone room.

He stood on the edge of the cliff, turned his hand, and a toy-like little bird emerged. He just threw it into the void before him, and amidst the flashing spiritual light, it transformed into a half-zhang-long yellow mechanical bird, its entire body assembled from bamboo and wood, looking light and exquisite, with several places on its body surface inscribed with pale red spirit patterns, and a white spirit stone embedded on the top of its head.

Wang Yu grinned; before learning a movement technique and mastering a flying artifact, he could only use these standard mechanical birds for transport.

Fortunately, when he collected things at the General Affairs Hall last time, he learned how to drive this thing on the spot.

At this moment, his figure flickered, and he stood on the back of the mechanical bird, pressed his hand on its neck, and a wisp of spiritual sense was injected into it.

The next moment, the mechanical bird's eyes flashed with white light, and its wooden wings began to vibrate, faster and faster.

"Whoosh."

The mechanical bird carried Wang Yu, flew off the cliff, and headed directly toward another mountain peak.
