[Cultivation Technique: Golden Cicada Method (Level 1, Mastery 0.01%).]

The Golden Cicada Method consists of nine levels. After breaking through the first level, Su Yu’s soul transforms into a golden cicada pupa, shielded by a layer of golden light, much like a pupa.

When Su Yu practices the Golden Cicada Method, he feels as though he’s within an ice spring spirit vein. His mind is clear, and his soul is at ease under the glow of the golden light.

Even his physical body feels comfortable under the reflection of this golden light.

However, the golden light produced by the beginner’s level of the Golden Cicada Method lasts for less than thirty breaths before it is completely consumed.

Coming out of this extraordinary state, Su Yu is contemplative.

While experiencing the initial phase of the Golden Cicada method under the influence of the golden light, his cultivation speed improved by about 10%.

Changes in his soul, physical body, and mana are not yet perceivable.

But within the expanse of golden light, he can sense the minute impurities present within his soul, body, and mana being purged and dissipated.

The effects might seem insignificant in the short term, but with long term cultivation under the golden light, a significant transformation is definitely feasible.

“I need to further cultivate the Golden Cicada Method. Otherwise, my soul power will quickly be exhausted,” thought Su Yu as he shook his head slightly, looking at the beginner’s level mastery of the Golden Cicada Method.

Although he had only experienced this tor less than thirty breaths, cultivating under the light of the Golden Cicada Method was indeed very gratifying.

After trying it, he didn’t want to stop.

“Elder, someone wishes to refine a high-grade first-tier elixir.” Su Rui’an came to the back garden of the Alchemy Pavilion and spoke respectfully outside his room.

“Hm, bring them in,” Su Yu replied.

Su Yu came out briefly to accept an order for a batch of high-grade first-tier elixirs.

While refining the elixirs, he explained the art of alchemy to the seven members of the Alchemy Pavilion.

Su Rui’an had mediocre talent for alchemy, but under Su Yu’s guidance, he could now refine low-grade first-tier elixirs.

The other people had inferior talent for alchemy.

However, Su Yu believed that before his departure from Su Family, training two high-grade first-tier alchemists shouldn’t be too challenging.

The Alchemy Pavilion wasn’t too busy. Su Yu didn’t need to handle the affairs more than five times a month.

The rest of his time was devoted to cultivation and researching elixirs, talismans, and puppet mastery.

Su Yu had a second-tier low-level alchemist inheritance at his disposal for researching elixirs. Although his current mana wasn’t sufficient to refine second-tier low-grade elixirs, researching various elixir recipes was still feasible.

Even though he didn’t possess the inheritance for the second-tier talismans, he had collected several incomplete ancient talismans over the years.

If he couldn’t find a suitable second-tier talisman master’s inheritance, he planned to research it himself.

He aimed to develop his own second-tier low-level talisman.

In terms of puppet mastery, Su Yu currently couldn’t venture into second-tier puppet beasts due to his cultivation level, financial constraints, and lack of suitable materials.

For now, he could only study top-level high-tier puppet beasts and the second-tier low-tier puppet beasts described in the inheritance.

Once he had completely understood these and felt confident, he could directly attempt the creation of second-tier puppet beasts.

Time slowly passed.

The cultivation of the Golden Cicada Method was quite challenging, and the mastery advanced slowly. However, with the increase in the mastery, the duration for which he could retain the Golden Cicada Method extended bit by bit.

Under the influence of Golden Cicada Method, the progress speed of cultivation for the Green Wood Year Ring Skill and the Crocodile Demon 108 Body Refinement Techniques increased substantially.

After a year and a half, the mastery of the Golden Cicada Method at the first level had just reached 11%.

But the cultivation of the Green Wood Year Ring Skill broke through to the seventh level a year earlier than expected, thanks to the influence of the Golden Cicada Method.

The year rings visible on Su Yu’s body deepened by another circle.

His cultivation base finally progressed to the seventh level of the Qi

Refinement Realm.

He had reached the later stages of the Qi Refinement Realm.

After the breakthrough, Su Yu looked at the information on his mastery panel.

[Name: Su Yu.]

[Cultivation Level: Qi Refinement Stage Seven.]

[Lifespan: 36/139.]

[Cultivation Techniques: Green Wood Year Ring Skill (First wheel seventh turn, proficiency 0.04%), 108 Styles of Crocodile Demon Body Refinement

Technique (Eighth level, proficiency 98.62%), Blood Whale Swallowing Moon Technique (First level, proficiency 0.01%), Golden Cicada Technique (First level, proficiency 11.03%). ]

[Spells: Wood Vine Technique (Complete), Spirit Nurturing Technique (Complete), Spirit Spear Technique (Complete), Spirit Accumulation Technique (Complete) … ]

“My lifespan has increased by eleven years,” Su Yu muttered, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

The ancient Green Wood Year Ring Skill is truly mighty.

Ordinarily, at the ninth layer of the Qi Refinement stage, one’s lifespan is around 120.

While practicing the Phoenix Tree Technique of the Su family, one might be able to reach a lifespan of more than 130 upon reaching the ninth layer of the Qi Refinement stage.

However, with the Green Wood Year Ring Skill, even at the seventh layer of the Qi Refinement stage, his lifespan has almost reached 140.

This is lifespan we’re talking about.

It’s something countless cultivators yearn for in their dreams, but can hardly obtain.

Once he reaches the ninth layer of the Qi Refinement stage, his lifespan will be longer by decades compared to those at the same cultivation level!

There’s so much that can be done in decades.

If he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the gap in lifespan will become even wider.

By then, he could feasibly wait for his enemies to turn to ashes and then dance on their graves, flaying their descendants and scattering their ashes won’t just be an empty threat any longer.

On the proficiency panel, there’s a long list of spells. These past few years, Su

Yu has learnt many spells.

Like Sword Control Technique, Wind Escape Technique and so on.

He’s accumulated almost twenty spells, both large and small, all of which he has practiced to perfection.

These spells are not difficult to practice. In Su Yu’s view, the fundamental factors for a cultivator are cultivation level and mana. As long as the spells are useful, that’s enough.

Two months passed once again.

Su Yu successfully broke through to the ninth level of the 108 Styles of

Crocodile Demon Body Refinement Technique. After reaching the ninth level of

Body Refinement, Su Yu attempted to fully accumulate the core power of the Blood Whale Swallowing Moon Technique before unleashing it with all his might.

In a wilderness dozens of miles away from Yun Mountain Market, Su Yu, like a humanoid crocodile beast, formed a huge claw with his blood energy.

He clashed hard with the Dragon-Hawk Puppet Beast ahead.

That powerful clash caused the earth to split within a radius of one to two miles.

Countless trees collapsed, and large rocks shattered.

A hundred-yard-wide crater was left behind.

Upon releasing the full force of his ninth level Body Refinement Technique along with the doubled power of the Blood Whale Swallowing Moon Technique,

Su Yu managed to force the Dragon-Hawk Puppet Beast to retreat half a step.

After the strike, Su Yu quickly put away the Dragon-Hawk Puppet Beast, hurriedly affixed several Invisibility Talismans, Concealment Talismans, and Godspeed Talismans onto himself, and fled the scene.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In less than a hundred breaths, several cultivators arrived at extreme speed on their instruments.

Looking at the huge crater below and the destructive traces of the powerful strike, the faces of these Inner Sect Disciples of the Yunjian Sect turned pale.

“Is this the ninth level of Qi Refinement stage? No, this power, could it be — the Foundation Establishment stage?!”

“Let’s go, we should promptly inform the deacons to call upon the Foundation Establishment seniors to handle this!”

The Inner Sect Disciples of Yunjian Sect, terrified, immediately fled on their in-flight swords, not daring to stay any longer.

Elsewhere.

A cheerful Su Yu returned to Yun Mountain Market and spent several days adjusting his condition, ready to attempt concocting second-grade lower level elixirs.

However, at this time, a group of guests came to visit..
