I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Chapter 353: Chapter 206: Return to Xuandan Sect, Zhuge’s Worries_3

Translator: 549690339

Yan Bu himself could not afford a middle-grade artifact level Heavenly Immortal Level Boat, the price of an Immortal Boat is a lot more expensive than other artifacts of the same level. Like the Jade Level Immortal Boat in the White Jade Tower, a middle-grade artifact, was priced at eight thousand superior Spirit Stones. This price leaves the ordinary early to middle Golden Core cultivators shaking their heads in despair.

Nevertheless, whether purchased or rented, Yan Bu’s wealth accumulated over a hundred years would now benefit Han Yi.

Han Yi first moved the low-grade trash in his Qiankun Ring into his Storage Ring. Then he moved everything from his Storage Ring into the Qiankun Ring. The Qiankun Ring, when worn, felt the same as the Storage Ring but wearing it would make his future development, especially when he would own superior or even top-grade artifacts, significantly more beneficial.

It was indeed a case of better safe than sorry.

Speaking of which.

This time, the harvest was the largest among all times, not only Spirit Stones but also weapons, Spiritual Talismans, formations, pills, Immortal Boats, etc., most of them reaching the level of artifacts or third level.

Compared to the previous times, the spoils of war had significantly improved.

Thinking about it, he understood that it was the first Gold Core cultivator he directly killed, moreover, a cultivator at the middle Golden Core stage.

Last time, although he had killed Que Chen of the Yuan Beast Sect, that was an almost sneak attack situation where he had caused severe injuries before chasing and executing him. Moreover, because he was at the Wanfa Sect’s area at that time, Han Yi didn’t have time to retrieve the Qiankun Ring, naturally, the harvest was minimal.

After calculating his assets, Han Yi examined his own cultivation base, including the information on the Proficiency Panel, his physical body, magical power, Spirit Sea, the Sea of Consciousness Space, Divine Soul, and the black bead in the Sea of Consciousness Space. Having adjusted his state, he left the silence chamber to go to the highest tower deep within Azure Dragon Palace.

In the tower, after four years, Han Yi saw Zhuge Wu You again.

Last time he saw Zhuge Wu You was when Han Yi had just left the illusion in Shu Du to return to the sect for closed-door cultivation to break through to the late Foundation Building stage, and this time, after four years, his realm had reached the Foundation Establishment Peak.

At first glance, such a rapid pace of breakthrough was terrifying.

However, during these four years, Han Yi experienced the banquet at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, survived an assassination by Jiang Jiuge of the Southern Dipper Divine Palace, was poisoned twice in Jinyun Immortal City which nearly killed him, and also experienced executing a Gold Core cultivator at the Qian Shu border.

Beyond the battles, he also had significant breakthroughs in skills. First came the Fire Shield Skill, Wind Wall Skill, Ninefold Soul Tower, and Departing Fire Sword Formula which broke through to Return to the Truth level, then he created the defensive fusion magic skill, the Wind and Fire Shield, followed by practicing the Ancient God Visualization Method to facilitate rapid cultivation progress…

Seeing Han Yi, Zhuge Wu You had a mixed expression of joy and worry.

“Han Yi, have you broken through to the Foundation Establishment Peak?”

“Too fast, it’s only been four years.”

“Good, good, good.”

“However, you must not be impetuous next. Remember not to attempt to form the Core recklessly. Although we haven’t found the antidote for the Hellbreak Powder yet, the Sect Leader has obtained such poison and is experimenting to find corresponding Detoxification Pill.”

From the look on Zhuge Wu You’s face, Flan Yi guessed that the research for the Detoxification Pill was not going smoothly.

If it were that easy to find a Detoxification Pill, the Black Divine Tower would not have become one of the terrifying Dark Forces.

However, he acknowledged this favor in his heart.

“Elder, do not worry. 1 have already eliminated the Hellbreak Powder residue within my body, there will be no sequelae.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Wu You frowned and looked at the location of Han Yi’s Spirit Sea. His eyes suddenly widened.

“It really is true. There is no remaining poison. And your body… Have you started dual cultivation of body cultivation as well?”

“Dual cultivation, body cultivation. That’s right, the Hellbreak Powder aims at the Spirit Sea and physical body, and body cultivators are this poison’s nemesis. But when did you start body cultivation?”

“Forget it, that’s your secret. It’s not my place to ask.”

Zhuge Wu You only showed curiosity momentarily, not prodding further. The present Flan Yi was second only to their Supreme Elders, and after some time if Han Yi was able to form the Golden Core, they’d be equals. Naturally, Zhuge Wu You’s attitude towards Han Yi had changed.

However, he wanted to give a reminder.

“Although the physical cultivation lineage is powerful, specializing in the cultivation of flesh, it is said that at its ultimate peak, one could have an immortal body that does not die even when the soul perishes. However, this lineage has its downsides too. Cultivating this lineage alongside others slows down one’s progress. After all, the spiritual power will spill over into the body, as if the body is partaking some of the spiritual energy, which naturally slows things down.”

Zhuge Wu You’s point was something Han Yi naturally understood. This was why he did not start dual cultivation until before his poisoning. However, after being poisoned by Hellbreak Powder, this was the only route available for him.

“The disciple understands.” Flan Yi made a bow.

Then, Flan Yi asked about the two main reasons why he sought Zhuge Wu You this time.

The first one is naturally about the Golden Core formation, and the other one is about the current situation of the sect, including the matters of Southern Dipper Divine Palace, Master Blood River, Wanfa Sect, and Yuan Beast Sect.”

The first matter, which concerns his cultivation, takes the highest priority.

The second matter is that even though he does not participate in sect management, the situation of the sect is equally crucial to him. Having a prior understanding of the situation is naturally more appropriate.

Zhuge Wu You nodded and said:

“The matter of your Golden Core formation is the most important.”

“However, the Golden Core formation varies for each individual. To hear it from me might establish preconceptions. A few years ago, our sect summarized a set of data on Golden Core formation. 1 brought a few copies with me. I’ll give you one to study when you’re back.”

“Once you are confident and prepared, I will personally help you in the process.”

Zhuge Wu You took out a Jade Butterfly and handed it to Han Yi. Flan Yi respectfully took it and placed it in Qiankun Ring. Noticing Han Yi’s Qiankun Ring, Zhuge Wu You’s eyes flashed slightly, but he didn’t say more.”

“Now, about the second matter.”

Zhuge Wu You’s eyes were filled with killing intent, but a hint of a smile hung on his face.

“A year ago, Junior Brother Qin devised a plan that lured out the Sect Leader of the Yuan Beast Sect, along with a Deputy Sect Leader and a Supreme Elder. Our Sect Leader personally stepped forward, holding the Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace, collaborated with Junior Brother Qin, Junior Brother Huo Ming, Junior Sister Si Hong, and set up a Fourth-stage Formation, the Hundred-Tribulation Soulless Array, and killed three Golden Core cultivators from Yuan Beast Sect in one fell swoop.”

“Although the Yuan Beast Sect Leader Jiang Angyi exploded himself before death, the Sect Leader was able to protect everyone with the Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace, and only suffered minor injuries from the backlash.”

“Yuan Beast Sect originally had eleven Golden Cores, but after that battle, they lost three, including their Sect Leader and a Deputy Sect Leader. Added to Que Chen whom you killed against the odds, Yuan Beast Sect currently only has seven Golden Cores.”

“Of course, the aim of this strike was mainly to make Yuan Beast Sect leaderless, thus causing internal chaos.”

“Once the time is ripe, we can destroy Yuan Beast Sect in one go and incorporate it into the Xuandan Sect territory.”

“But still, we can’t rush it. We may need decades, even twenty to thirty years.”

Upon hearing this, Flan Yi was also delighted.

Zhuo Qun of Jinyun Immortal City disappeared, and the sect later found that his soul tablet shattered, confirming his death. In this matter, Que Chen was the direct murderer, and after that, the two sects no longer had dilemmas and suspicions between them, and their relationship had turned to real hatred.

In fact, it can’t be said simply that Yuan Beast Sect is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ because with Yuan Shun’s breakthrough, it upset the balance between the two sects. At this point, it can be referred to as the Dark Forest Rule.

Xuandan Sect became Nascent Soul Great Sect, which needed to expand. It was also worried about the Yuan Beast Sect next door having someone breaking through to become a True Monarch. It might suppress or even slaughter Yuan Beast Sect.

And when Yuan Beast Sect saw that Xuandan Sect had become stronger, it was natural that they did everything possible to prevent Xuandan Sect’s rise in order to save themselves.

This is a law that has been established in the Cultivation World for generations.

When a sect rises, the surrounding powers of the same level will inevitably either go extinct, merge or migrate.

After the joy, Han Yi then thought about more things.

“What about Wanfa Sect and Southern Dipper Divine Palace, have they made other moves?”

Seeing Han Yi mentioning these two sects, Zhuge Wu You’s face slightly darkened..
