Chen Mu calculated in his mind.
Currently, the Little Assistant could store 200 attributes. If all of them were the power of cultivation, he would have to absorb them for 40 days.
In other words, it was equivalent to 800 days of bitter cultivation for ordinary disciples.
If he used Instant Absorption, he would instantly obtain 800 days of cultivation.
With the enhancement of the environment…
Even if it became more difficult to increase his strength the further he progressed, he would probably be able to reach the seventh or eighth-stage of Qi Refinement. This was almost enough to dominate the Outer Sect.
This growth was too fast!
It no longer made sense!
After pondering for a while, Chen Mu felt that it was better not to use this skill for the time being.
As the master of time management, he clearly knew that his goal was to increase his strength as much as possible during a period of time, and not be as fast as possible from the beginning.
If he looked further, what if the attribute storage space became 1,000 after the next upgrade?
If he used this skill then, it would have five times the effect now!
What if it became 2,000 next time? That would be ten times the effect!
Even though the next upgrade required 10,000 spirit stones, didn’t he also feel that 1,000 spirit stones was a lot earlier?
He had to look further!
Perhaps there would be another fortuitous encounter in a few days?
After all, he was very lucky.
Of course, it was not that he would never use it.
He could save this skill as a trump card.
Just think about it, if he were to encounter a strong enemy and realized that he could not defeat the other party after fighting for a long time, he would use a skill and his cultivation would rise steadily…
Chen Mu chuckled and made a decision.
He would temporarily hide this skill as his first trump card.
…
Days passed.
The spiritual root attribute’s absorption was very slow, he could only absorb one per day.
In other words, it would take ten days to gain a spirit physique.
While Chen Mu was absorbing the attributes of the spiritual root, a huge change was happening in the Azure Yang Sect.
The new Outer Sect disciples became more and more diligent, leading all the Outer Sect disciples to become diligent.
That rumor also gradually spread, in the end even obtaining the First Elder’s confirmation.
Thus, this gust of diligent wind began to spread to the Inner Sect, to some core disciples.
In the end, the deacon elders all felt tremendous pressure and began to train hard.
…
On the main peak of the Azure Yang Sect, Zhang Yan stood at the top of the mountain. He could not help but sigh as he looked at the prosperous Azure Yang Sect.
“If there is no sect exterminating calamity… my Azure Yang Sect might become one of the top sects in the Country of Yan within a hundred years!”
“Unfortunately, there are no ifs in the world.”
“Sigh, I wonder if Senior Brother is dead already?”
“Judging from the time, he should be entering the secret realm soon, right?”
Zhang Yan was somewhat worried and subconsciously took out his messaging talisman.
However, if he asked directly, it would be a loss of face. It would seem like he cared a lot about this dog of a senior brother.
After some thought, he sent a message.
“In these few days that you were not around, my Azure Yang Sect has become increasingly prosperous!”
The messaging talisman disappeared and a message appeared in the void.
“Nonsense! Don’t you dare try to destabilize my Dao heart!”
Zhang Yan smiled lightly when he saw this, and then he waved his hand casually, causing everything to vanish into thin air.
…
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the stone forest cave, Chen Mu absorbed ten earth spiritual root attributes.
Fortunately, the thing he was most worried about did not happen. His earth spiritual root aptitude was indeed maxed at 10, and he successfully obtained the Earth Spirit Physique.
After obtaining the Earth Spirit Physique, he consumed another Qi Gathering Pill, and his cultivation level went from the fourth-stage to the fifth-stage of Qi Refinement.
It had to be said that with good aptitude, the effects of consuming a Qi Gathering Pill would be much better.
After cultivating for another day, Chen Mu calculated silently.
Now, his cultivation speed was five times faster than before!
Even though there was only a difference of one fold between spiritual root 5 and 10, the difference was like heaven and earth.
This was the same as a person’s looks. The difference between five points and ten points was huge.
After reaching the fifth-stage Qi Refinement Realm, it was time for Chen Mu to cultivate a proper cultivation technique.
The Azure Yang Sect had a Sutra Pavilion, which was divided into two levels.
The first level allowed inner and outer disciples to enter.
Only core disciples could enter the second level.
Compared to core disciples, inner and outer disciples had the risk of leaving the sect at any time, so some true secret cultivation techniques were only open to core disciples.
However, the Qi Refinement cultivation techniques were not included.
The Five Elemental Divine Techniques could be found in the first level of the Sutra Pavilion.
…
After leaving the cave, Chen Mu went straight to the Sutra Pavilion.
To be honest, he was a little flustered when he suddenly gained a spirit physique.
“I should be heading out soon.”
“Now that my status of the Son of Destiny has been established, if I go out and encounter some heaven-defying fortuitous encounter… It should be very reasonable for my strength to soar, right?”
Chen Mu thought to himself.
He would have liked to stay on the sidelines, but the characteristics of the Little Assistant were fixed, so he was destined to go out often.
Everything else was fine, but the ability to increase cultivation talent…
It was too terrifying.
If news of this were to spread, even if the Azure Yang Sect did not face a sect-destroying calamity, it would still invite a sect-destroying calamity.
In the Azure Yang Sect, he was the person to face the calamity, so they would cooperate with him to keep it a secret.
If this were any other sect, the consequences would be unimaginable.
…
The guardian of the Sutra Pavilion was a white-haired old man named Xu. Everyone called him Elder Xu.
Arriving at the entrance of the Sutra Pavilion, Chen Mu handed over the Outer Sect disciple token and successfully entered the Sutra Pavilion.
A moment later, he found the Divine Earth Technique of the Five Elemental Divine Techniques.
The entire text was less than two thousand words. He memorized it on the spot.
Then, he found the Flame Control Technique. This was a Qi Refinement cultivation technique that ordinary fire spiritual root cultivators practiced.
Holding the Flame Control Technique, Chen Mu arrived at the entrance of the Sutra Pavilion.
“Elder Xu, I want to borrow this Flame Control Technique!”
“Alright, make a copy after you borrow it and send the original over within a day.”
Elder Xu did not even look at Chen Mu. As he spoke, he placed the Outer Sect disciple token on the counter in front of him.
When Chen Mu received the token, he saw the messy pile of talismans on the table in front of Elder Xu.
Elder Xu was distracted because he was drawing talismans.
Chen Mu’s heart skipped a beat.
According to the Immortal Cultivation plan he had formulated earlier, he had to master a life skill.
Drawing talismans was his first choice.
He originally intended to find an opportunity to inquire about who was skilled in the Dao of Talismans within the sect, yet he never expected that he would actually encounter one now…
“Why? Do you need something else?” Elder Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at the curious Chen Mu.
“Elder Xu, this is my first time seeing someone drawing a talisman. I’m a little curious…” Chen Mu answered truthfully.
Elder Xu saw that Chen Mu was extraordinary and that his eyes were filled with curiosity. He immediately chuckled.
When encountering such a junior, anyone would want to give him some guidance.
“There aren’t many young disciples who are interested in drawing talismans. So, do you want to learn?”
“I do have such thoughts, but I don’t know how to begin.” Chen Mu replied.
When Elder Xu heard this, he rummaged through the pile of miscellaneous books by the side and finally found a book that was yellowed and nearly torn. It was called “Introduction to the Talisman Dao”.
“I’ll give this book to you. Go back and take a look.”
As he spoke, he took ten blank spirit talisman sheets from the side.
“This is the most basic spirit talisman. It can store some basic spiritual techniques. You can take it too.”
“If you can successfully draw a basic spirit talisman within ten days, it will mean that you are talented in the Dao of Talismans.”
“If you can’t draw it, don’t waste your time anymore.”
Chen Mu hurriedly received the “Introduction to the Talisman Dao” and the blank talismans. At the same time, he asked, “May I know the value of these blank talismans?”
“Basic spirit talismans are not worth much. They are sold at ten pieces for one spirit stone. I’ll give them to you for free.”
“If you want more, you can buy whatever you want from the sect.” Elder Xu said nonchalantly.
“Thank you, Elder Xu!” Chen Mu quickly thanked him and left the Sutra Pavilion.
