Xiao Lin and Lei Ji left Mount Lei once again.
According to Master Lei Xiu's words, with so many top-tier artifact refining materials combined with the harsh requirements proposed by Xiao Lin, it was not something that could be forged in a short amount of time.
Regarding this, Xiao Lin did not feel surprised.
Or rather, this was originally included within his scope of consideration. One had to know that in history, the creation process of an ordinary divine weapon could take a few years, or even more than a decade!
If a divine weapon could be forged so easily, could it still be called a divine weapon?
Therefore, after Master Lei Xiu stated that it would take at least two years to complete the weapon requested by Xiao Lin, he naturally would not foolishly wait on top of Mount Lei the entire time.
That would be completely meaningless!
"Little friend Lin Xiao, now that Master Lei Xiu is already helping you refine your weapon, I wonder if you have any other requests?"
On the way back, Lei Ji suddenly opened his mouth to ask.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Lin shook his head.
"Elder Lei Ji, currently I do not have any other plans. If I strictly have to say there is one, it would be to increase my strength!"
Xiao Lin spoke the plain truth.
Wanting to cultivate, there was nothing to hide about this.
Whether it was refining a weapon, cultivating Soul Dou Techniques, or raising the grade of the Cultivation Technique he cultivated, was it not all for the sake of increasing his own strength?
The time before the start of the original story's plot was getting closer and closer!
The sense of urgency in Xiao Lin's heart was also getting heavier and heavier. Do not look at his current Nine-Star Dou Zun cultivation as being fairly good. However, in the eyes of true powerhouses, this was clearly still not enough!
Just take the current Lei Clan for example, did they decide to invest in him because of his Nine-Star Dou Zun cultivation? This was obviously not the case.
What the Lei Clan looked favorably upon was Xiao Lin's hope of reaching the Dou Sheng realm in the future!
Now that his weapon was still in the middle of being forged, then what came next would naturally be taking the improvement of his own cultivation as the primary priority!
"Since that is the case, little friend Lin Xiao, why don't you stay and cultivate within our Lei Clan's Lei Realm for a period of time? This old man considers the cultivation environment of the Lei Realm to be fairly decent."
"In addition, little friend Lin Xiao made a trip to our Lei Clan but has not seen Mang Tianchi yet, right? According to my estimation, Mang Tianchi should also be coming out of seclusion in the near future."
"After he comes out of seclusion and sees you as a guest in our Lei Clan, he should probably be very happy as well."
Seeing that Xiao Lin's next objective was cultivation, Lei Ji naturally brought forward his own suggestion.
As for the matter of the Lei Realm's cultivation environment being fairly decent as spoken by Lei Ji, it was clearly his modesty. Among the Eight Ancient Clans, there might be differences in strength.
But their respective gathering lands were all opened up by their own Dou Di ancestors. Therefore, a place like the Lei Clan's Lei Realm was not inferior in the slightest to the Gu Clan's Gu Realm or the Hun Clan's Hun Realm.
Even with the Ling Clan, the weakest among the Eight Ancient Clans, the cultivation environment within their Ling Realm would not be worse than the other ancient clans.
What the Eight Ancient Clans differed in was nothing more than the power of their bloodlines. One could say that the Lei Realm was definitely already considered one of the most suitable places for cultivation on the Dou Qi Continent!
Therefore, after Lei Ji proposed to let Xiao Lin cultivate within the Lei Realm for a period of time, he only did a brief consideration, and a decision was already made in his heart.
Anyway, he currently had to wait for Master Lei Xiu to forge the weapon, so directly cultivating within the Lei Realm was indeed the best choice!
Moreover, what Lei Ji said was also not wrong. He had already made a trip to the Lei Clan, so he had to see his own headmaster no matter what, right?
"Elder Lei Ji, then I shall disturb the Lei Clan for some days."
Along with the falling of Xiao Lin's words, it also represented that he officially began his cultivation within the Lei Realm.
After returning to the residence arranged for him by the Lei Clan, Xiao Lin directly began his secluded cultivation.
The Lei Realm was filled with abundant spiritual Qi, and combined with the Spirit Gathering Formation set up by Xiao Lin, his cultivation speed was absolutely stellar!
However, in the very beginning, Xiao Lin first threw himself into upgrading the Starry Canon, the Cultivation Technique he cultivated. Right now, Xiao Lin's strength, soul realm, and experience were all sufficient.
Deducing and upgrading the grade level of a Cultivation Technique was a matter that was difficult if one called it difficult, but actually not that difficult if one called it easy!
Nevertheless, Xiao Lin was still considerably confident in himself. After all, this was merely deducing it from the Mid-Level Earth Grade to the High-Level Earth Grade, not a cross-realm deduction to the Heaven Grade!
Xiao Lin certainly did not have the capability for the latter right now.
As for the former, after spending a year's time, Xiao Lin successfully accomplished it!
"Boom!"
Within the secluded cultivation cave dwelling, endless spiritual Qi surged into Xiao Lin's body.
The upgrade of the Starry Canon from Mid-Level Earth Grade to the High-Level Earth Grade also greatly improved the operational efficiency of the Dou Qi within Xiao Lin's body!
Similarly, the speed at which Xiao Lin absorbed spiritual Qi from the outside world also became a notch faster. At the same time, along with the upgrade of his Cultivation Technique, Xiao Lin's Dou Qi cultivation once again saw an improvement.
"I have finally completed the first compression of my Dou Qi!"
Clenching his fists, Xiao Lin muttered to himself.
Today, one year later, Xiao Lin had not only upgraded the Starry Canon he cultivated to the High-Level Earth Grade, but even his own Dou Qi cultivation had arrived at the One-Change Dou Zun realm!
After a cultivation reached the Nine-Star Dou Zun realm, one had to undergo the process of compressing their Dou Qi nine times. Only after the Nine Changes of Dou Qi could one step into the final realm!
After reaching the peak of the Nine-Change Dou Zun realm, the majority of people could only become a Ban Sheng first before breaking through to a Dou Sheng. But a considerably small portion of geniuses could directly leap across level of Ban Sheng!
Just like Xiao Yan in the original story, he did not experience the level of Ban Sheng.
Following the upgrade of his Cultivation Technique, plus his Dou Qi cultivation breaking through to a One-Change Dou Zun, Xiao Lin also came out of seclusion briefly.
Coincidentally, after Xiao Lin came out of seclusion, he also met Mang Tianchi, who had likewise just come out of seclusion not long ago. At this time, Mang Tianchi had already achieved the honorable status of a Ban Sheng!
When he saw that Xiao Lin had come to the Lei Clan and already possessed a cultivation of the One-Change Dou Zun realm, he was both shocked and delighted!
Since they had first arrived in the Central Plains and parted ways, the total time passed did not exceed five years, yet Xiao Lin had soared all the way from a Four-Star Dou Zun cultivation to a One-Change Dou Zun.
How could Mang Tianchi not be shocked? This improvement was more than just one star per year!
But one had to know, this was the Dou Zun realm, not the Dou Zhe realm!
It was no wonder that Mang Tianchi was completely astonished. However, he simultaneously felt very gratified. Because this proved that his judgment was not wrong!
Ever since Mang Tianchi came out of seclusion, the matter of being responsible for entertaining Xiao Lin fell onto his head.
Regarding this, Xiao Lin was naturally pleased.
Compared to Lei Ji, an elder of the Lei Clan, Xiao Lin was clearly much more familiar with his own headmaster!
As such, in the following days, besides occasionally going to Mount Lei to check on Master Lei Xiu's progress in refining the weapon, Xiao Lin spent his time asking his Ban Sheng Headmaster for guidance on various insights regarding cultivation.
Mang Tianchi had also just ended his secluded cultivation, so he naturally had the time to guide Xiao Lin's cultivation.
Just like this, with the guidance of Mang Tianchi, a Ban Sheng, the speed of Xiao Lin's cultivation within the Lei Realm also improved rapidly!
