Chapter 369: Late-Night Cultivation (3/5, Autumn Subscription)

"It's not as hard as you think. Practice more and you'll get it. Let's start from the very basics."

Lord Han grasped Fang Yue's hand, channeling a stream of Internal Breath, guiding Fang Yue's Internal Breath into the Ningtai Ring.

Whoosh—

A blaze of firelight flared before his eyes, and a blazing flame blade took shape in an instant!

Damn!

It already took shape??

Fang Yue looked at Lord Han, once again sensing how unfathomably deep this person was.

"Don't get distracted. Feel it with your heart, memorize these frequency changes. Once you can reproduce these frequency changes on your own, you'll have mastered most of the Ningtai Ring."

Fang Yue immediately dared not slack off in the slightest.

Time passed, second by second.

With Lord Han's help, Fang Yue's mastery of the Ningtai Ring improved at flying speed.

Originally, relying only on himself, Fang Yue could only manage five or six spark leaves. Now, even without Lord Han's help, he could instantly open over a hundred spark leaves, covering roughly one-tenth of a blade's body.

Even so, Fang Yue was already extremely excited.

At this pace, with a bit more effort, he estimated he could fully master the Ningtai Ring and condense a Fire Blade in two or three days!

"Let's stop here for today. Go back and practice well. Come again at this time tomorrow."

"Yes!"

As his words fell, he had already been sent out of Lord Han's closed-door cultivation chamber.

Fang Yue didn't mind, and headed back in high spirits.

"Xiao Ye, what did Lord Han say?"

The moment Fang Yue returned, Lin Ling and the others immediately asked.

Fang Yue briefly relayed Lord Han's words to them, and they collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

"Judging by this, even if Ma Ling'er wants to come cause us trouble, it'll be an uphill battle, not necessarily successful. We just watch and wait."

"Mm."

Without this worry, the days became peaceful.

Lin Ling happily scheduled a huge pile of day and night shifts for Fang Yue, making his eyelids twitch.

"I need to go into closed-door cultivation! Lord Han ordered it!"

Throwing Lord Han's name around, Fang Yue slipped back to his own quarters to slack off.

"At most I'll give you one night off. Tomorrow you come take the day shift for me!"

Lin Ling's furious roar still echoed behind him.

One night is one night—slack off whenever you can!

Back at his quarters, he climbed onto the bed, sat cross-legged directly on it, and began cultivating.

With Lord Han's help, his practice with the Ningtai Ring progressed at divine speed.

And with so many cultivation resources still on hand, Fang Yue naturally prioritized pushing forward his cultivation of the Blazing Fire Heart Method.

Fire Stone clenched in his hand, and after swallowing the cultivation pills rewarded by the Green Division, Fang Yue activated the Blazing Fire Heart Method.

Whether it was because his cultivation resources were plentiful, or because he had received special training from Lord Han today.

Fang Yue's cultivation of the Blazing Fire Heart Method went surprisingly smooth and fluid.

In just two hours, the Heart Method, already on the verge of breakthrough, broke through without any obstacle.

Everything fell into place, so naturally and smoothly.

"System Notice: Congratulations to player 【Yese Liming】 on your cultivation progress. 【Blazing Fire Heart Method】 has been raised to the Fifth Layer. Internal Force +300, Control Power +35, Disarm Power +15."

Fifth Layer already!

He opened the Heart Method list.

"Name: Blazing Fire Heart Method."

"Grade: Post-Heaven First-Rate."

"Layer: Fifth Layer."

"Requirement: 50 Control Power."

"Description: Cultivation will heavily drain Lifespan. Ignite Lifespan, Blazing Fire self-immolates, burning heart to temper the body, the Heart Method forms of its own accord."

"Effect 1: +80 Control Power. Under the 【Self-Immolation】 state, damage increases."

"Effect 2: Can store normally accumulated Internal Force in 【Blazing Fire Magatama】. Release it all at once to perform 【Blazing Fire Burst】. Severe aftereffects will follow. Do not use lightly."

"Note: Exclusive Heart Method for the long-lived species. Come if you have the life to spare!"

Very good, very powerful. After a long absence, he opened the Attribute list again, and Fang Yue nodded in satisfaction.

"Name: Yese Liming."

"Realm: Post-Heaven Second-Rate."

"Status: Healthy."

"HP: 400/400."

"Internal Force: 1000/1000."

"Control Power: 250 【Base: 230】 【Status/Boost: +20】."

"Disarm Power: 250 【Base: 230】 【Status/Boost: +20】."

"Comprehension: 1. 【Special Attribute】"

"Talent: Night's Breath 【Human-Grade Upper】."

"Skills: Analysis Pupil 【Human-Grade Lower】, Star Fire Blade Technique Lv. 1 【Post-Heaven Third-Rate】, Water-Sky Blade Technique Lv. 1 【Crude Martial Arts】, Blazing Fire Heart Method 【Post-Heaven First-Rate / Fifth Layer】, Star Fire Heart Method Lv. 3 【Post-Heaven Third-Rate / Max Level】."

"Lifespan: 10 months and 18 days."

His lifespan had already been burned away quite a bit.

But after killing the Guizhi in Mo Cun and driving off the Yangxu Gu swarm, he gained a six-month supplement to his lifespan, so the shortfall never appeared.

"Keep it up!"

After checking his attributes, Fang Yue continued cultivating, and soon the fire stones were used up.

Fang Yue used the fire-permeating leaves to turn the black stones into fire stones and kept cultivating.

Lang Wu, the Chief Captain of Mo Cun, had given Fang Yue a hundred fire-permeating leaves in total, so for now he didn't need to worry about resources on that front.

What days are the most leisurely? It has to be the days of cultivation that are the most leisurely.

Fang Yue got through the night very easily.

With the cultivation pills given by Qing Si, Fang Yue's internal-energy cultivation progress that night advanced by leaps and bounds.

This is the importance of wealth.

As long as you have money and resources, you can cultivate with your eyes closed and still experience a rapid rise in strength.

The only problem was that resources were being consumed far too quickly.

The more satisfying the progress, the faster the resources were consumed.

In no time at all, another pill went down the hatch.

In just that one night, Fang Yue had already downed half of the cultivation-boosting pills that Qing Si had rewarded him.

Others might still have the problem of pill poison, but when Fang Yue popped pills at night, he didn't need to care about any of that — just pop them like crazy and be done with it.

Therefore his efficiency was far greater than an ordinary person's.

The efficacy of these pills was actually not bad; it was just that Fang Yue was no longer that little martial artist who, after eating a Wumu Fruit, had his strength take off on the spot.

For him now, such a vast medicinal force was only enough to give a boost — nothing more.

But that was already enough; this kind of rapid cultivation progress was extremely addictive, impossible to put down.

So when, the next morning, considering pill poison and stock issues, Fang Yue didn't pop any pills, he finally understood how Lin Ling felt.

Without pills to pop, relying only on his own effort to cultivate, the progress really was so slow!!

With no choice, Fang Yue could only take out the Ningtai Ring and continue cultivating.

Fortunately, with Lord Han's guidance on the Ningtai Ring, Fang Yue had already grasped the knack, and every practice brought new insights.

So he quickly became absorbed in it; even when Lin Ling dragged him off to be a laborer and he ended up on the white-board shift, he didn't seem to mind.

After all, the Ningtai Ring could be practiced anytime, anywhere.

During practice, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu came bouncing over.

"Ye Ge, what about that deputy captain position you promised me?"

Fang Yue lifted an eyelid: "Bring Lin Ling over, and I'll arrange it for you today."

"Yay!"

She quickly went and dragged Lin Ling over.

"Let Wu Wu serve as the Guard Team's Deputy Captain?"
