Chapter 12: Half a Year of Growth
The daily practice of the Purple Demon Eye never ceased.
Zhao Liuyun returned to the busy pace of life he had known at Nuoding Academy.
In the mornings, he spent half his time in class and the other half reading, with the addition of practicing a near-perfect body tempering secret technique.
The first two counted as general experience, totaling 60 points.
As for the body tempering technique, it required mental control; Zhao Liuyun hoped to make both his body and mental force proficient in this secret technique.
In the afternoon, he would go to Shi Nian's place on time to cultivate his mental force.
First, he learned the application of mental force, and after a certain amount of time, he would attempt to break through the mental cage set by Shi Nian, honing his mental force through repeated impacts.
After his cultivation ended, Zhao Liuyun would return to the residence the Ye family had specifically arranged for him.
With just a simple command, a maid would prepare a steaming Medicinal Bath.
In the evening, it was the usual Meditation; the [Spirit Master] profession would gain 60 points of Professional Experience.
Life at Canghui Academy was extremely fulfilling; between studying and practicing, half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Liuyun's fourth year as a Spirit Master was nearing its end.
His growth was astonishing.
[Profession Panel]
[Host: Zhao Liuyun]
[Age: 10 years old]
[spirit power: Level 24 (2/8600)]
Over half a year, through daily diligent cultivation and slowly consuming 4,701 points of general experience, he had just barely risen from [Level 22 (303/7800)] when he left Star Dou Soul Hunting Town to Level 24.
His Innate Level 5 talent was still a bit lacking; not knowing how long he would have to wait for an Immortal Herb, Zhao Liuyun began to ponder the Meridian Opening Method.
[physique: 37]
Thanks to the continuous supply of Thousand-Year Whale Glue from the Ye family, his self-created body tempering technique, and the nourishment of his daily Medicinal Baths, his physique's growth was quite astonishing, comparable to an ordinary Level 37 Spirit Elder.
Unless it was Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, the effects of ordinary or even Thousand-Year Whale Glue were now nearly non-existent.
However, as long as he continued practicing the body tempering technique for a while longer, combined with the Medicinal Bathconditioning, he would surely soon reach the physical quality of the Spirit Ancestor level, satisfying the conditions for consuming an Immortal Herb.
[soul: 47]
The higher it went, the more difficult it became to improve soul strength. If ordinary Spirit Masters did not absorb spirit rings, most could only rely on Meditation and time for slow growth.
However, Zhao Liuyun was no ordinary Spirit Master.
The daily absorption of purple qi by the Purple Demon Eye solidified his foundation, and the tempering of the mental cage constantly stimulated his potential, causing his soul strength to climb steadily.
Now, his mental force had reached the level of a high-tier Spirit Ancestor, and his external Spirit Bone, the demon dragon silver pupil, had completed deep fusion; it would not be stripped away even in death.
Once he consumed an Immortal Herb to cleanse his physique and strengthen his Spirit, absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for his fourth spirit ring would be no problem at all.
If Tang San could do it, Zhao Liuyun naturally could as well.
[general experience: 15494]
This experience also had to be added to his spirit power step by step.
By increasing it in small amounts multiple times a day, his cultivation speed wouldn't appear too shocking, and he could steadily accelerate his progress without affecting the general experience gained from daily Meditation.
Half a year of growth was reflected not only in the increase of [soul], [physique], and [spirit power].
It was also reflected in the methods of using mental force he had learned from Shi Nian.
souls are connected; all things have Spirits.
While outsiders could imitate mental application methods rooted in spirit rings, they were extremely difficult to truly master due to a lack of firsthand experience.
Even Zhao Liuyun, with the blessing of [Ingenious Ideas] and the assistance of [Brainstorm], was no exception.
In half a year, he had only learned one mental force technique from Shi Nian: "Presence Diminishment."
Even so, it was enough to surprise Shi Nian.
No matter how he taught them, those fools with Gem Spirits could never learn.
In the end, only those specializing in the mental system could truly walk the great path of a Mental System Spirit Master.
Speaking of Gem Spirits, one must mention their Seven-in-One Fusion Skill.
Zhao Liuyun's cultivation was insufficient, but he had experienced it personally.
It sounded quite strong.
With the characteristic of mental illusions ignoring ordinary defenses, even exceptionally talented youths with startling combat power would inevitably fall victim to it.
But before a Spirit Master specializing in mental force, it was child's play.
In a collision on the mental level, the combined strength of the seven opponents was comparable to an ordinary high-tier Spirit Emperor.
However, without perfect fusion, it was inevitably disorganized in the end.
Zhao Liuyun's mental force had reached the high-tier Spirit Ancestorlevel and was sufficiently condensed through the tempering of Shi Nian's mental cage; like a stone hitting water, he could easily disperse the incoming mental force.
After another session of mental force cultivation, Zhao Liuyun felt mentally exhausted and requested Shi Nian for leave.
"Are you going to Heaven Dou City?"
Shi Nian was not surprised; this had been agreed upon during his previous conversation with Ye Wenxi.
Zhao Liuyun said, "I promised Grandpa Ye that I would go to gain the Family Head's approval and try to get along with the young lady of the Ye family."
"The Nine Heart Begonia..." Shi Nian sighed softly, a hint of emotion in his voice as he recalled the harsh restriction that only two people could possess this stunning Spirit at once. "You are still young; there is no need to force it."
Zhao Liuyun could inherit his mantle; his mental force talent was even superior to that of his teacher.
Shi Nian did not want to see him waver in his firm convictions and delay his cultivation due to romantic entanglements.
Feeling the concern in Shi Nian's words, Zhao Liuyun felt a warmth in his heart and replied, "I understand, Teacher."
"To me, cultivation will always come first."
It's just an attempt to get along.
The union of yin and yang is indeed human nature; Zhao Liuyun never intended to become a eunuch.
However, he didn't have the idea that it had to be any specific person.
Being able to use the connection with Ye Lingling to reach Dugu Yanwas the true purpose of this trip.
Naturally, he didn't need to worry about the travel arrangements.
Carriages, supplies, the route... the Ye family would arrange everything... Heaven Dou City was vast and magnificent, with hundred-meter-high towering walls rising from the ground, finally revealing some of the majestic Spirit belonging to a fantasy World.
Riding in the Ye family's carriage, they traveled swiftly, and ten days later, they finally arrived in front of a medicine shop.
The shop occupied a vast area, and the people coming and going were either wealthy or noble, with spirit power cultivation at least around the Spirit Ancestor level.
Many servants dressed in the attire of various estates were busy making purchases, and not far away was a Medical Hall that was equally bustling with activity.
The front of the Medical Hall was crowded with ordinary people seeking treatment, a surging sea of people.
Several Spirit Masters moved through the crowd, helping to maintain order; though the scene was noisy, it did not appear chaotic.
The Ye family practiced both medicine and pharmacy, possessing numerous medicinal fields and farmers, and had trained many skilled mortal Physicians. As a renowned medical family, those seeking medical help naturally came in a continuous stream.
Zhao Liuyun's eyes lit up as he watched.
It was as if he could feel the Professional Experience for the [Physician] profession rolling in.
His gaze lingered on the crowd for a moment, but he did not stop and stepped straight into the medicine shop.
The shop was filled with the fragrance of medicine, with rare medicinal materials from all directions neatly displayed; rare drugs from all over the World could be found here.
A shop assistant, seeing a dignified youth enter the shop, stepped forward quickly and asked, "Young master, how may I help you?"
Zhao Liuyun said, "I am the Reserve Guest Elder Zhao Liuyun. I have come at the invitation of Elder Ye Wenxi to meet the Family Head."
During his half-year of study at Canghui, Ye Wenxi had written several times, stating that he had informed the Family Head about Zhao Liuyun's background, the invitation to become a Guest Elder, and even the intention to propose a marriage to Ye Lingling.
For this trip to Heaven Dou City, the letter had also arrived long ago.
"Reserve Guest Elder..." The shop assistant's expression turned serious.
Although this position was an honorary title, it was rarely granted; once given, it meant that at least one family Elder held the person in high regard.
He couldn't help but steal a glance and stepped aside to lead the way. "Please follow me; the Family Head is in the inner hall."
The Ye family's main lineage was the Nine Heart Begonia line, and the Family Head, Benevolence, was a Nine Heart Begonia Healing SystemSpirit Saint.
Unless it was a life-threatening injury or serious illness, it was usually difficult to request his help, so he was not very busy on ordinary days.
"Family Head, the Reserve Guest Elder Zhao Liuyun has arrived," the assistant reported with a bow.
"Mhm, you may leave," Benevolence nodded slightly.
Zhao Liuyun took a step forward and bowed respectfully. "Reserve Guest Elder Zhao Liuyun greets the Family Head."
Benevolence chuckled, reached out to help him up, and pulled him to sit beside him. "Good child, lift your head and let me have a good look at you."
