Urban Invincible Overlord
Chapter 1420 - 1417: Another 4 Years
Aside from the Southern Domain cultivators participating in the workshop trade, many beast tamers and demon hunters have also come to the Southern Domain this time.
The so-called demon hunters are a type of professional cultivator who specialize in capturing or killing demon beasts.
These people make a living by hunting demons.
Because demon beasts are treasures all over, their flesh and blood can be used as medicinal guides, and their inner cores are the most precious medicinal materials. In the cultivation world, the vast majority of auxiliary cultivation elixirs require the inner core or blood of relevant demon beasts as the main material for refining.
The Southern Domain Cultivation World naturally is not lacking in demon beasts, and their numbers are enormous. However, the number of Southern Domain cultivators is many thousands of times that of Earth cultivators. For some low-rank demon hunters, the quantity of low-rank demon beasts available for them to hunt in the Southern Domain is even more scarce. To find large numbers of low-rank demon beasts, they often need to venture into the deep, distant mountains, where higher-grade, more dangerous demon beasts reside.
Therefore, for the low-rank demon hunters of the Six Great Cultivation Forces in the Southern Domain, the demon beast resources on Earth are much richer.
After participating in the workshop trade, almost three hundred and fifty cultivators remained in the Earth World.
They formed dozens of teams, each dispersing to various parts of Earth. Firstly, to fulfill the Southern Domain’s promise to help the secular people of Earth resist demon beasts. Secondly, they had the opportunity to hunt demon beasts to obtain the precious materials on their bodies. Thirdly, they could continuously train themselves in a place that is relatively much safer than the Southern Domain Cultivation World, as a form of cultivation training.
Wan Ping and Wan Fang stayed directly in White Jade City.
They had important matters to convey directly to Yang Fei and did not dare to return to report to their ancestors until the task was completed.
Originally, the two thought Yang Fei had been in seclusion for years, and they wouldn’t have to wait long to see him, but unexpectedly, this wait lasted three years.
They did not wait in vain for these three years.
As descendants of Master Wan’s secular aristocratic family and with both having Foundation Establishment cultivation, they were treated well in White Jade City. Tong Yunshu made the decision to give them many top-grade Spirit Stones and even granted them a small bottle of Genetic Liquid Medicine each year, treating them as Earth Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Of course, the small bottle here is really small, similar to the small bottles of oral liquid purchased on the market.
But even so, Wan Fang and Wan Ping were incredibly excited because they understood that Genetic Liquid Medicine is considered Divine Medicine in the cultivation world. With their qualifications, even with the relationship of Master Wan, they couldn’t hope to obtain any Genetic Liquid Medicine in the Shang Qing Sect.
Now they just need to stay on Earth and wait for Yang Fei to come out of seclusion, and they can receive a small bottle every year.
For both of them, already over two hundred and fifty years old, with only about forty years of lifespan remaining, this life offered no chance of Core Formation.
With the Genetic Liquid Medicine, they couldn’t help but ignite hope.
Perhaps their cultivation talent and Spirit Root Grade can improve, and if they successfully enhance them, forty years would be enough to break through to the Core Formation Realm.
If they succeed in Core Formation, their lifespan could reach five hundred years, which for them would be a major change in fate.
The two had become quite accustomed to this comfortable life, even hoping Yang Fei would remain in seclusion so they could continue waiting here.
However, thinking about the matter the ancestors wanted to convey to Yang Fei, they became a bit worried.
If Yang Fei hears this news, he will undoubtedly be angry.
Hopefully, this news will not affect the current situation between Earth and the Southern Domain Cultivation World.
Another year passed.
There was only one year left until the next workshop trade.
That day, after Wan Ping consumed the fourth bottle of Genetic Liquid Medicine, he suddenly discovered that his speed of absorbing spiritual energy during cultivation seemed to have increased.
Upon this discovery, he became extremely excited.
He forced himself to calm down and observed carefully for a while, confirming the matter.
Concealing his excitement, he immediately found Wan Fang, excitedly saying, "Brother Fang, I... have you used that bottle of Genetic Liquid Medicine?"
Wan Fang nodded and said, "I have. But this miraculous Divine Medicine that is talked about seems not to have such great effects. We’ve consumed three bottles and haven’t noticed any changes..."
Realizing Wan Ping’s expression was excited and seemed unusual, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Ping, have you experienced any changes?"
Wan Ping and Wan Fang were brought to the Tian Nan Peak in the Shang Qing Sect by Master Wan from their old secular home to cultivate. For over two hundred years, they have always supported each other as if they were one, to the point where there were almost no secrets between them.
Seeing Wan Fang inquire, Wan Ping wanted to share his joy, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I feel that my cultivation talent has improved."
Wan Fang was greatly excited: "Really?"
Wan Ping nodded, "Yes, it’s true. Why would I deceive you about such a matter? My realm hasn’t improved, but my cultivation speed has increased. This should mean that my talent has improved, or perhaps my Spirit Root Grade has advanced. I heard that Fairy Tong Yunshu has a magic treasure capable of testing Spirit Root Talent, and I want her to check."
Wan Fang nodded: "Yes, let’s test it."
Then he thought of something and pulled Wan Ping over, "Or maybe we should wait until we return before testing? Wouldn’t it be unwise if Earth cultivators knew about such a thing?"
Wan Ping said, "There’s nothing wrong with it. Among Earth cultivators, there are many whose Spirit Root Grade improved after using Genetic Liquid Medicine. Also, I’ve heard that there are quite a few who originally didn’t have a Spirit Root, but after using Genetic Liquid Medicine, a Spirit Root developed, allowing them to cultivate. So, they are not surprised by such things anymore."
Realizing this, they both went to find Tong Yunshu.
That ’Innate Eye’ magic treasure indeed was in Tong Yunshu’s possession.
To be exact, it was specifically left by Yang Fei at the Peak White Jade City for the convenience of measuring the Spirit Root qualification of Earth cultivators.
After all, Earth itself produces Genetic Liquid Medicine. For the martial artists stationed at White Jade City, it dispenses a certain amount of Genetic Liquid Medicine each year by portion. Whether their Spirit Root Talent emerges after taking Genetic Liquid Medicine, or whether their Spirit Root Grade can be advanced, all needed testing. Therefore, the Innate Eye passed through the hands of several prominent and reputed individuals stationed at White Jade City.
Upon learning that Wan Ping wanted to borrow the Innate Eye, Tong Yunshu’s eyes lit up as she carefully scrutinized him.
Wan Ping, already at the Peak of Late-stage Foundation Establishment, felt a chilling sensation as Tong Yunshu’s gaze passed over him.
What a strong energy.
Wan Ping was secretly startled.
This woman is also at the Foundation Establishment stage; why is her divine sense so powerful?
Tong Yunshu quickly withdrew her gaze and took out the Innate Eye, conducting a test on Wan Ping.
"Fire Attribute Single Spirit Root," Tong Yunshu directly stated the result, smiling, "Congratulations, fellow cultivator, your Spirit Root Grade has improved, and you have hope for a future breakthrough to Core Formation."
A Single Spirit Root is one type of Spirit Root Talent, and cultivators with Single Spirit Root Talent are typically expected to achieve more than just Foundation Establishment.
Yet, the fact that this person, over two hundred and fifty years old, was still stuck at the Peak of Foundation Establishment without breakthrough indicated his original Spirit Root Grade wasn’t high, so Tong Yunshu directly offered her congratulations.
Though psychologically prepared, Wan Ping still couldn’t contain his excitement upon hearing the test results from Tong Yunshu. His face flushed with joy, and he cupped his fists toward Tong Yunshu, saying, "Thank you, Immortal, for your help in testing. Also, for the four years my brother and I have stayed here, thanks to your care. Without your generous gift of Genetic Liquid Medicine to us, my Spirit Root Talent wouldn’t have improved. Such a favor, I, Wan, will never dare to forget."
