Chapter 72 Breakthrough in Cultivation, Cultivating Third-Tier Spirit Plants

Mid-stage Qi Refining!
And all four spells were perfected?

"Don't try to fool me!" Upon hearing Zhuge Wan's words, Lei Kunhai's expression changed as he tried to find a reason to refute her. However, upon reflection, with all four spells perfected, there was no way to refute her. So, he could only bite the bullet and ask if it was true or not.

Not only Lei Kunhai, but the rest of the people were also watching Zhuge Wan and Mo Changqing with bated breath. The choice of the true disciples had nothing to do with them.

but!

If this true disciple were to master all four spells, his future would be limitless, and he might even lead them to expand their territory.

Therefore, it is necessary to solidify the foundation in advance.

"Elder Lei, do you think I would fabricate such a ridiculous lie?" Zhuge Wan's face darkened as she retorted to Lei Kunhai.

"This……"

Lei Kunhai's voice faltered. Indeed, the perfection of four spells was truly absurd. No normal person would think of faking such a thing.

The realm of magic is perfectly fair to everyone.

It will not change depending on your level of cultivation, and it cannot be affected by external forces.

If you achieve something small, then you achieve something small.

Great achievement is great achievement.

Unlike cultivation level, where if your cultivation level is low, I can give you more pills, and after a few gulps, your cultivation level will increase dramatically.

The cultivation of magic depends on comprehension, just like doing math problems—you either know it or you don't!
It's impossible to fake!

Therefore, if he were Zhuge Wan, he certainly wouldn't lie about this.

"Can……

But my grandson is a weapon refiner! Lei Kunhai was still making a futile struggle.

“My apprentice is also a spirit plant master, and he was the first place winner in the Myriad Flower Palace Spirit Plant Competition.” Zhuge Wan was equally assertive.

Although plant masters are not as good as weapon refiners.

However, the first place winner of the Spirit Plant Competition still carries some weight.

Moreover, everyone knows very well that Lei Kunhai's grandson, Lei Wanbao, is a weapon refiner, but he can only refine high-grade magic weapons.

It's still a long way from being a top-grade magic weapon, let alone refining a spiritual weapon.

Although Zhang Yan is only a spirit plant master, he is already able to cultivate second-tier spirit plants, and he is even trying to cultivate third-tier spirit plants now.

This is not something an ordinary first-tier weapon refiner could pull off.

"That……"

"I……"

Lei Kunhai opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but then he found that he couldn't say anything at all.

He simply couldn't fight for his grandson's sake!
"Sect Master, this concerns the true inheritance, I think we need to confirm it first." Just as Lei Kunhai was racking his brains for a solution for his grandson, another Golden Core cultivator spoke up.

“That’s natural.” Mo Changqing nodded gently. He believed that once these people witnessed Zhang Yan’s talent, they would definitely agree to let Zhang Yan be listed as a true disciple.

“That’s right, the true disciples still need to be tested, and even if we pass, we still need to make Zhang Yan famous.” This was another Golden Core cultivator speaking up.

He wasn't targeting Zhang Yan.

The difference between true disciples and inner/outer disciples is that you must be fair and just to win the respect and respect of all disciples.

Why has Lei Kunhai's grandson never become a true disciple? Isn't it because if he were to become a true disciple, some disciples would be dissatisfied?
Zhang Yan is not well-known within the sect. Everyone only knows that he is Zhuge Wan's inner disciple, but no one knows his actual strength.

They must demonstrate why they deserve to be considered true disciples.

This is conducive to the unity of the sect.

"Normally, to become a true disciple, one must hunt ten demonic beasts of the same level as oneself and three demonic beasts of a higher level than oneself."

But I remember Zhang Yan wasn't good at fighting, right?
Is he a plant sculptor?

"Then stop hunting demonic beasts and let him cultivate spiritual plants." The Qingheng Sect's training of its true disciples is also very flexible.

It's impossible for everyone to have absolute combat power.

Take Zhang Yan, for example. He is clearly a production-oriented talent. Wouldn't it be crazy to send someone like that to fight on the front lines?
Moreover, for sects, productive talents are the most valuable, as they can provide a continuous source of production resources.

As for those thugs?

If you have the resources, why worry about not having thugs?

“Alright, if he can cultivate ten first-grade high-quality spiritual plants and one second-grade spiritual plant, then what’s wrong with giving him the position of true disciple?” Lei Kunhai thought for a moment and then spoke up.

"By the way, I'd like to meet this Zhang Yan," Lei Kunhai suddenly said, remembering something.

“Alright, but Zhang Yan is currently in seclusion. I will have him visit him after he finishes his seclusion.”

Zhuge Wan looked at Lei Kunhai with a smile.

"it is good!"

With those words finished, the meeting was considered complete, and Lei Kunhai walked out of the sect's main hall with a dark expression.

We returned to Qianbao Peak.

As soon as he arrived at Qianbao Peak, he saw a young man of similar stature, who looked about 70% like Lei Kunhai, walking towards him.

However, what is most noteworthy is that this young man was covered in magical artifacts, from his clothes and necklace to the jade pendant at his waist and the ribbon in his hair.

What's most striking are his hands.

A dazzling array of colors.

He was wearing ten rings.

Moreover, each one is a magical artifact.

All I can say is that he's incredibly wealthy and powerful; he truly lives up to the name Lei Wanbao.

"Greetings, Great-Grandpa! Great-Grandpa, how did it go this time?" Lei Wanbao asked as soon as he saw Lei Kunhai return.

"Great-grandfather?"

"Who's your great-grandfather? I don't have such a useless grandson!" Lei Kunhai cursed as soon as he saw Lei Wanbao coming over. How could he have given birth to such a useless great-grandson?

They can't even complete the foundation building of two spells!
I've been teaching him weapon crafting for so long, and he can only craft high-grade magic weapons. He's practically a waste!
Seeing Lei Kunhai's berserk state, Lei Wanbao was dumbfounded. What's wrong with his great-grandfather?
Before leaving, he confidently declared that he would secure a position as a true disciple for himself.

Why did you get so angry after just one trip out, and even call yourself a good-for-nothing?

Great-grandfather wasn't like this before!

Previously, my great-grandfather clearly said that he was a treasure bestowed upon him by God!

Although he was inwardly complaining, Lei Wanbao wasn't stupid. He turned around and ran away immediately. Just kidding, Old Lei's fists really hurt!

……

Muling Peak.

Inside Zhang Yandong Mansion.

Zhang Yan, who had swallowed the Heart-Clearing Lotus, suddenly opened his eyes. The effects of the Heart-Clearing Lotus were indeed beyond his expectations.

It was far better than his previous spiritual tea.

After consuming this lotus seed, his spiritual awareness increased by at least 30%.

Most importantly, his mind became clearer, and the anxiety and fear he used to have disappeared.

"Is this the effect of removing inner demons?" Zhang Yan couldn't help but gasp. This effect truly lived up to its reputation as a third-tier spiritual item.

"It's time to go into seclusion and try to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining." Taking advantage of his clear mind, Zhang Yan swallowed a pill and began his cultivation.

The Everlasting Spring Technique he cultivates is a wood-based magic, the gentlest of all, so there's no need to worry about it causing him to go astray or suffer demonic possession. He only needs to continuously refine his own magic power.

In addition, his Pure Yang Boy Skill has also made new progress.

The Pure Yang Child Skill has three levels, each of which increases the amount of Pure Yang power by three. Nine Pure Yang powers can form a Pure Yang True Essence, which can increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment.

Previously, Zhang Yan had only condensed three strands of pure Yang power.

However, he has already condensed seven strands, which is the third level of the Pure Yang Child Skill. He will soon be able to condense Pure Yang True Essence.

"I just don't know if I can continue to condense pure Yang power once I've condensed pure Yang true essence," Zhang Yan thought with some curiosity.

Normally, once a cultivator has cultivated pure Yang True Essence, they should start thinking about Foundation Establishment.

But what can be done...

Zhang Yan's comprehension was already much stronger than that of ordinary people, and this was further enhanced by the six enlightenment futons.

Therefore, his cultivation speed is faster than that of normal people.

"If I could cultivate nine pure Yang true essences, would the foundation building process be smoother?" Zhang Yan had an idea in his mind. Others didn't have this condition, but he did!

As the saying goes, when poor, one makes Hanyang-made wares; when rich, one uses firepower to cover the ground.

When it comes to cultivation, Zhang Yan also suffers from a slight fear of insufficient power. Whether it's the spells he cultivates or things that can help him build his foundation, he has to go through them all at once. Sometimes, if he's still not satisfied, he has to do it again.

However, this matter is not urgent. His primary task now is to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

……

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

During these three months, Zhang Yan had been cultivating in his cave, while the outside world, especially the Zhou Kingdom, had been in turmoil.

Everyone knows that the major sects of Zhou have discovered a secret realm, and it is even the ancient Taiyi Sect's assessment secret realm. Everyone wants a piece of the pie.

They gathered in large numbers outside the secret realm, wanting to go in, but in the end they discovered that the secret realm was actually divided into two layers, an inner and an outer one.

The outer layer is a hidden resource realm.

There are abundant resources inside, and some rogue cultivators have gone in to try their luck, only to be killed by the major sects. These secret realms are the Achilles' heel of the major sects.

Casual cultivator?

You still want to explore the secret realm?

Dreaming!
These outer secret realms were all swept up by Golden Core cultivators from various sects, and in a short time, the sects made a fortune.

Once the resources in the outer area have been plundered, it will be time to enter the inner secret realm.

Overall, however, the entire Zhou Kingdom was thrown into turmoil because of this secret realm.

"Finally, I've reached the late stage of Qi Refining." On this day, Zhang Yan pushed open the tightly closed stone door, finally reaching the late stage of Qi Refining.

However, there is still a distance to go before reaching the perfection of Qi Refining.

But he wasn't in a hurry; cultivation is something that can't be rushed.

"Young Master!" Upon seeing Zhang Yan emerge from seclusion, Liu Yiting hurriedly helped him boil water, burn incense, bathe, and change clothes.

Has anything happened during this time?

After changing, Zhang Yan asked Liu Yiting.

"Young Master, there are rumors in the sect that you are going to become a true disciple. Is that true?" Liu Yiting asked with admiration as she helped Zhang Yan straighten his collar.

"A true disciple?"
"I don't know yet, but it should be within our reach." Zhang Yan thought for a moment, "This rumor might have been spread by my master."

"Also, your master has sent a message asking you to come over."

"Master called me?"
Okay, I understand.

After leaving the cave, Zhang Yan went straight to the cave on Muling Peak to see Zhuge Wan.

"Master!"

"Not bad, you've reached the late stage of Qi Refining, but your cultivation level is still too low. You need to establish your foundation as soon as possible." Zhuge Wan glanced at Zhang Yan and immediately saw through his cultivation level.

"Yes, Master, I will work hard."

Zhang Yan nodded quickly.

"Well, the reason I called you here today is to talk to you about the issue of true disciples."

"The sect needs you to cultivate ten first-grade high-quality spiritual plants and one second-grade spiritual plant. This is your assessment task."

Additionally, you need to report to the various elders and demonstrate your talent.

"Yes, Master."

Zhang Yan was somewhat surprised to hear that the true disciple's mission was not to hunt but to cultivate, but then he thought that this was a good thing.

That way, I won't have to lift a finger.

Moreover, leaving the sect is extremely dangerous!
As for showing off one's talent to a Golden Core master, isn't that what one should do?

He'll have to put on a good show then, otherwise he won't be able to sit securely in his position as a true disciple!
Returning from Muling Peak.

Zhang Yan did not immediately begin visiting those Golden Core experts.

Instead, they began to think about cultivating spiritual plants.

Cultivating spiritual plants is a difficult task for others, but it's really not difficult for Zhang Yan.

In particular, he has Zhuge Wan's spirit plant set.

And Old Weng's spirit hoe in hand.

There was even a case of grafting flowers from Wanhua Palace.

Let alone a mere ten top-grade first-tier spiritual plants.

Even if it's a second-tier spiritual plant, Zhang Yan can cultivate ten of them for you.

It's important to understand that the key to successful grafting is large-scale operations!
It can make it easier for plants that are normally difficult to grow to survive, resulting in more fruit.

Although the art of "transferring flowers to trees" is a secret technique of the Myriad Flowers Palace, does he really fear that his own sect elders would report him to the other sect?
and……

"Oh right, there's also the Pure Heart Lotus." Zhang Yan thought of the Pure Heart Lotus he cultivated before his seclusion. During his seclusion, Liu Yiting always found someone to perform the Spirit Rain Technique.

When he arrived at the pond where the Pure Heart Lotus was cultivated, he saw that the seed, as smooth and lustrous as jade, had already sprouted tender roots and tiny leaf buds.

"It's sprouted?" Zhang Yan was overjoyed to see this.

However, he also knew that taking root and sprouting was nothing. The key to cultivating the Qingxin Lotus was its subsequent growth. If anything was not right, the Qingxin Lotus would die.

Very delicate.

But Zhang Yan remained calm. He possessed extensive knowledge and could easily cultivate the Qingxin Lotus.

"I should be able to use this third-tier Pure Heart Lotus to complete that second-tier task, right?"

As for first-grade high-quality spiritual plants, Zhang Yan did not intend to cultivate them, but instead directly cultivated second-grade spiritual fruit trees.

However, this was a huge project, and Zhang Yan found it difficult to complete by himself, so he asked Mu Sen for help.

"Junior brother."

Mu Sen's expression had always been rather wooden, but ever since he met Zhang Yan, he had been shocked into straightening up every time.

By helping Zhang Yan this time, he also gained some valuable experience.

He looked at Zhang Yan's spirit plant garden and finally uttered, "Junior brother, did you steal the sect leader's spirit plant garden?"

The first chapter, four thousand words.
