Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 238: Chapter 129: Cultivating an Unmatched Magic Practitioner!_4

Chen Qiu smiled as he walked down the corridor of the inn, leaning on his cane. “The Flower Offering Sect Master has quite a few Memory Stones in his Storage Ring,” he laughed. “He replicated the grand ceremony we had in Fat State in other states.”

“However, their luck was rather poor,” he continued.

“It seems they hadn’t been at it for long before the Fame Ranking was shut down, but they put in quite a few Spirit Stones and still managed to get these 2,000-plus Foundation Establishment Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills, which should be enough for our scholar. Along with the two Golden Cores in my Storage Ring, I think it might even be enough to charge straight to the peak of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment,” Chen Qiu mused.

“When that happens, our team will have another Golden Core Great Power,” he added.

“As for you, Fat Long, you’ll need to step it up too,” Chen Qiu said.

“Me?” Fat Long responded, nodding somewhat bitterly. His Heavenly Destiny Dual Cultivation entry allowed his Dual Cultivation progress to increase by nine times, a very impressive entry. But… he had been too busy recently, and failed to find any suitable demon beasts.

“Wait a moment–”

Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through his mind: “Isn’t there a lot of demon beasts with the Sea Clan invasion?”

“…”

Chen Qiu, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped, stood silently for a moment, then turned around to look at Fat Long and calmly said, “Tomorrow I’ll keep an eye out for you, for some Sea Clan demon beasts that we can barely manage.”

“After they are severely injured, I’ll leave them to you,” he promised.

…

Xiao Yu Town,

A small coastal county town that many mortals had fled from, yet many still remained to run their shops, as Xiao Yu Town was now frequented by more Foundation Establishment Cultivators than usual, who were far more generous with their money than mortals.

Despite some danger, they were making much more money these days than before.

Chen Qiu and his companions, including Fat Long, had some seafood porridge and wandered around for a bit before returning to the inn. Xiao Yu Town was simply too small–so small, in fact, that it didn’t even have a brothel, only a Red House.

The Red House was rather crude and simple, and they were unwilling to visit such a place. They had wanted to listen to music in a refined setting, a sort of petit bourgeois indulgence, but going to the Red House would have been too explicit in purpose and lacking in quality.

The Sea Clan would invade the day after tomorrow.

With nothing else to do today, after wandering the streets for a while, Chen Qiu and his companions didn’t linger long before returning to the inn to cultivate earnestly in preparation for the Sea Clan’s invasion.

It was one invasion after another–with the Sea Clan, the Evil Clan, and the Demon Race all encroaching.

Da Xia was indeed busy.

Three directions–east, south, and west–were all under attack, and who knew if next time the Boundless Snow Mountain to the west would be invaded by Snow Monsters as well?

He felt he was nearly able to discern a pattern.

…

After cultivating for the entire day, Chen Qiu’s control over his Divine Sense became much smoother, and he also solidified the Cultivation Progress he had achieved the previous night, elevating his control over the vigorous Spiritual Energy within his body to a new level.

And so, after midnight,

A Jade Box containing ten Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills appeared on schedule in the Storage Ring.

Chen Qiu wasted no time, sitting cross-legged on the bed, taking one Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill, activating his mental method to envelop the pill’s potency with Spiritual Energy, and distributing it to every corner of his meridians.

Finally–

At dawn, during the hour of Si,

Chen Qiu, who was still seated cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air. He first looked out the window at the unchanged seascape, feeling the cold winter sea breeze that was damp and sticky.

This cold was different from that of the Boundless Icefield; there, the cold was dry, intensely penetrating to the bone.

And now, his Cultivation Progress had finally reached–

–

“Cultivation”: Golden Core Stage Level 2 (0.1%).

–

“Finally, the second level of the Golden Core,” Chen Qiu said, inspecting the Cultivation Progress panel above his Dantian. He got up to stretch his limbs, and standing before the mirror, he smiled while straightening his robe. Only then did he prepare to select his Cultivation breakthrough entry.

He was quite satisfied with the speed of his Cultivation improvement.

He had asked the scholar if the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard champions of the past received anything like the Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills in their daily blessings. The scholar had said no; his daily Heavenly Dao Blessing as the champion back then had been a Spirit Stone reward.

The Golden Core Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill had not been seen for many years.

It was only available this time because this Heavenly Pride Leaderboard was special, effectively condensing what used to be daily blessings for 100 people down to a single person receiving the Heavenly Dao Blessing each day. It was natural for the rewards of such a blessing to be increased under these circumstances.

Quite logical.
