In this xuanhuan world of cultivation
So sayings have long since been altered by demons
For example, “All things are inferior; only cultivation is supre”
Everyone knows that once you set foot on the path of cultivation, you can wield power that mortals cannot imagine
And you gain a long lifespan, truly becoming what others call an immortal
So even the slightest hope drives people to attempt cultivation
After all, it is the strongest way to change one’s fate
Therefore, in ordinary families, whenever a child has a spirit root, they will send them to a sect to try their luck—what if they are chosen?
That would bring great honor to the family
But that applies only to those with ans
Ordinary people cannot even afford food, let alone aspire to beco cultivators
They may dream of pursuing immortality, but their resources cannot support them leaving the city for long
Otherwise they would starve in two days
Thus their spirit roots are useless, and the sa goes for those in bondage
Ye Yu set his sights on these people
“Need silver? I’ll give you silver in exchange for your spirit root. Any mixed root or low-grade root will do. I have plenty of money!”
At twenty-one, over three years Ye Yu bought more than eight hundred mixed spirit roots and over thirteen hundred low-grade roots
These roots were destined for failure in cultivation or would yield no results—he bought them at high prices
His motto was mutual agreent
From this he synthesized an exceptional Wood Spirit Root
Needless to say, its speed of absorbing spirit energy was impressive
With the root secured, cultivation required pills, manuals, and talismans—nothing could be missing
These costs were vast and could not be paid with silver alone
After much thought, Ye Yu decided to earn spirit stones
In the Ye residence, Ye Yu placed a bottle of elixirs before Ye Sandao
“Old Deng, I plan to travel for decades. During this ti, you and Mother take care and stop butchering—after all, you’re not young. These pills will extend your lifespans by two hundred years. In two hundred years, I’ll find you more pills.”
He was not joking
A few days earlier he had bought over a hundred longevity pills on the black market at high prices
Though each pill granted little life extension, he could synthesize them—over a hundred pills into one, magnifying the effect
Ye Sandao was puzzled
“Why must you leave? You are our top scholar, already favored by His Majesty at such a young age. You will beco a great official. Many envy this life—why give it up to chase that illusory cultivation?”
“Because only with sufficient power can I protect those I wish to protect!” Ye Yu replied, then strode out of the Ye residence
At twenty-two, Ye Yu reached Golden Core and knew every trade market on the Northern Wasteland Continent, earning countless spirit stones
His thod was simple: sell his synthesized spirit beasts at cultivator markets
Even the lowest “Farting Ram,” after a dozen fusions, beca a mighty spirit beast
Thus Ye Yu accumulated spirit stones rapidly
He also spent them rapidly—manuals, pills, talismans, whatever he saw, he bought
“Low grade? No matter—I devour all grades!” beca his motto
Of course, this unusual approach attracted attention
So after leaving the market, he was often waylaid
In such cases, Ye Yu never intervened himself but sent Xiao Hei
Xiao Hei was the ant spirit beast he had raised as a child
Hard work paid off
After years of fusion, Xiao Hei truly entered the path of cultivation and reached the Transforming Spirit stage
He even transford into human form—a dark-skinned boy with a large mouth
Whenever anyone threatened Ye Yu, Xiao Hei appeared first and eliminated them
“Loyal” was the best word to describe him
The only drawback was his silence—when idle he would build a nest and cultivate
His diligence made Ye Yu, who preferred slacking off, uncomfortable
“Kid, you’ve gone too far. After becoming an ant spirit beast, can you rest for a mont? Let’s chat?” Ye Yu would tease
At twenty-five, Ye Yu attained Tribulation-Crossing
His rapid rise owed entirely to external resources—alchemical pills
“Qi-supplent pills? Fuse a thousand tis for a super pill, ten thousand tis for a holy pill with no side effects!”
With this trick, he soared in [N O V E L I G H T] cultivation speed
He tested that he could fuse ordinary items about three hundred tis per day, and cultivation items about eighty tis
In short, the higher the item’s grade, the more spirit power consud, and the fewer fusions per day
Mastering this rule, Ye Yu wielded his dream gift with ease
Ascension to the Divine Realm was only a matter of ti
That year he returned ho to deliver cultivation supplies to Ye Sandao and Jiang Nuannuan
“Old Deng, I expect to ascend to Heaven soon and won’t be able to visit often. While you’re still young, cultivate a secondary disciple. But rember: if my brother or sister wishes to do anything, don’t force them to study. Cultivation is also a fine path. The resources I leave will suffice for ten people to ascend. Also, Xiao Hei will stay with you—if you need anything, call him.”
Ye Sandao, red-faced, asked softly
“I’m no spring chicken. Training a secondary disciple may be too much. Could you spare a few fortified pills for ? To help with the effort?”
