Time flew by, and half a month had passed in the blink of an eye.
For half a month, Chen Zong had been cultivating inside the Minor Gathering Vein Spiritual Array in the Cultivation Hall. In total, he had consumed five high-grade Spirit Origin Pills and five high-grade Earth Vein Pills. Today was the third day since he had consumed the fifth high-grade Spirit Origin Pill and fifth high-grade Earth Vein Pill.
The King Earthvein Vortex spun madly, emitting an astounding aura that rumbled like thunder.
Chen Zong's qi and blood also vibrated with it, making for an astounding sight.
When the energy of the two pills had been completely absorbed by the King Earthvein Vortex, it suddenly shook and expanded and contracted nine times in the blink of an eye. It then stabilized and became twenty percent larger than before.
An even more powerful aura emanated from the King Earthvein Vortex.
Mid first level earth spirit realm!
It'd only taken Chen Zong half a month to reach mid first level earth spirit realm from early to mid first level earth spirit realm. Of course, this was because he'd had enough upper rank spirit origin pills and upper rank earth vein pills. If he'd used mid rank pills, the time would've been several times longer. If he'd used lower rank pills, the time would've been several times longer.
If he'd only relied on absorbing the energy of heaven and earth and the energy of the earth vein without pills, the time would've been even longer.
Therefore, with the aid of enough suitable resources, the cultivation speed of geniuses and even geniuses would be astounding.
Strictly speaking, apart from the five upper rank spirit origin pills and five upper rank earth vein pills, Chen Zong had also absorbed the energy gathered by the formation for five days and five nights in order to break through. Since such an astounding amount of energy was required to break through, the increase in strength after breaking through would naturally be even more frightening.
However, Chen Zong still didn't understand, because there were still thirty-two upper rank spirit origin pills and thirty-two upper rank earth vein pills left. These were the thirty-one pills from before and the pills that would be sent to him every month. Chen Zong planned to absorb all of them and raise his cultivation to a point where it would be difficult for him to advance any further. Only then would he cultivate the rest.
In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed. Chen Zong's aura had increased once again, and his Earthvein King Spin had also expanded a lot. His cultivation had reached the late 1st level of the Earth Spirit Realm, and his strength had become even stronger.
Thus, there were only 27 high-grade Spirit Origin Pills and high-grade Earth Vein Pills left.
"The remaining pills should be enough for me to reach the limit of the first level of the earth spirit realm. It should be enough for me to break through to the second level of the earth spirit realm, but whether I can reach the middle of the second level is still unknown." Chen Zong thought to himself.
Chen Zong was working hard in his cultivation. The other members of the Headquarters were also working hard in their cultivation. However, they weren't like Chen Zong, who didn't appear for more than half a year. They would appear once in a while, either to communicate with others or to challenge the Illusory Sword Hundred Kill Array to temper themselves.
After another month of cultivation, Yu Fei felt that his cultivation had increased, but he had used up all his elixirs. Yu Fei came out of seclusion. He did not attempt the Illusory Sword Hundred Kills Array, but instead came to the Burning Mountain Hall.
The master of the Burning Mountain Hall was Elder Wang's personal disciple, Ou Zhenyang. His cultivation and strength were similar to Yu Fei's.
"Yu Fei, what brings you here today?" Ou Zhenyang asked with a smile after letting Yu Fei enter the front hall of the Burning Mountain Hall.
"I came out for a walk, and to see how your cultivation has improved." Yu Fei also smiled. It seemed that the shame from the battle with Chen Zong had disappeared. But in fact, it had not disappeared, but was buried deep in his heart.
"Of course, my improvement will not be slower than yours." Ou Zhenyang smiled. Although the two of them had a good relationship, they were also competitors, and neither of them was willing to give in to the other. Then, Ou Zhenyang spoke again, "I wonder how Gu Qingyun's cultivation is now?"
Gu Qingyun was the personal disciple of Elder Su. He had been suppressing Yu Fei and Ou Zhengyang. It was not only because Gu Qingyun's cultivation was one level higher than theirs, but also because his combat strength was very strong. It could be seen from the results of the Illusory Sword Hundred Kill Formation.
Yu Fei and Ou Zhenyang had both reached the second wave of the sixth level, while Gu Qingyun had reached the third wave of the sixth level.
"I don't know." Yu Fei said. He had always wanted to surpass Gu Qingyun, but failed again and again. However, Yu Fei was not discouraged, and he was still working hard.
"By the way, where is the newcomer?" Ou Zhenyang changed the topic, and Yu Fei immediately understood who he was referring to.
The newcomer.
He was referring to Chen Zong, who was given the first-class key training qualification.
Since seven months ago, he had not been seen once. It was said that he had been cultivating in seclusion in the palace.
"With his talent and first-class key training resources, I guess his cultivation will have a significant improvement after seven months. It should not be difficult for him to improve by two or three levels." Ou Zhenyang continued.
Yu Fei's face was a little pale. He was very reluctant to mention Chen Zong, because when he mentioned it, the previous failure was still vivid in his mind, and he felt ashamed.
"Yu Fei, I know what happened before made you feel uncomfortable, but I suggest that you should face up to it to get rid of the influence." Ou Zhenyang said seriously.
"I know, I don't need you to say more." Yu Fei snorted coldly. Of course, he knew this, but it was not so easy to do it.
"However, I think your estimation is wrong." Yu Fei changed the topic again and said, "As far as I know, Chen Zong's cultivation has not improved at all for more than half a year."
"No improvement?" Ou Zhenyang was stunned, "That's impossible."
"Humph, anyway, that's what I know." Yu Fei sneered. The reason why he knew was that when he asked his master, Elder Lu, for advice, he heard a few words. He also heard that the reason why Chen Zong's cultivation had not improved at all in half a year was because he was creating his own cultivation method.
When he heard that Chen Zong was creating his own cultivation method, Yu Fei sneered and mocked him. It was too arrogant of him to create his own cultivation method when he was only in the Earth Spirit Realm. Could his self-created cultivation method be comparable to those of the Upper Rank or even the Supreme Rank?
If not, it was just a waste of time and energy, and in the end, it would be a thankless task.
Moreover, it was said that Chen Zong had created his own cultivation method successfully and was about to start cultivating. As for the level of the cultivation method, Elder Lu did not say. Yu Fei was also guessing. Through Elder Lu's tone and so on, he guessed that Chen Zong's self-created cultivation method should be of the Upper Rank.
"Self-created cultivation method!" Ou Zhenyang was naturally surprised when he heard Yu Fei's words and guesses.
"Your guess should be right. At most, he created his own cultivation method of the Upper Rank." Ou Zhenyang said. Then he sighed and said with admiration, "To be able to create his own cultivation method of the Upper Rank, this person's talent is really terrifying. However, he is too naive. How can it be so easy to create a cultivation method of the Upper Rank? I'm afraid that what he created now is only the early part, not the whole thing. In the future, he will have to spend more time and energy to create his own cultivation method, which will delay a lot of time and energy."
In fact, with their talent and foundation, it was not impossible for them to create their own cultivation method. However, they could only create a cultivation method of the Lower Rank of the Earth Spirit Realm. It would be useless and a waste of time.
Saying that Chen Zong was stupid was just like what Ou Zhenyang said. Instead of wasting a lot of time and energy to create his own cultivation method of the Upper Rank, it would be better to choose a top cultivation method of the Upper Rank to cultivate. With their talent, it was not a difficult thing.
Of course, if they knew that Chen Zong created his own cultivation method of the Upper Rank, they would not say these words. Instead, they would be shocked to the point that their minds were frozen.
"This person will not be our opponent. Sooner or later, he will fall behind. Maybe not long after, he will be disqualified from the first-class training." Ou Zhenyang said again.
He knew very well that it was not that easy to get the qualification for focused training. It was also not something that could be done once and for all. If his performance was not good enough, he would still be demoted or even disqualified.
Without a doubt, a person who had talent but did not know his own limits was not worth paying attention to. This kind of person would only be like a shooting star, shining brightly for a moment and then disappearing immediately.
Thinking of this, Yu Fei also felt a bit relieved. The shadow in his heart had also dissipated quite a bit.
Indeed, the competition between practitioners was for eternity and not for a moment. A moment of brilliance would eventually fade into the masses.
… …
Another half a month passed in the blink of an eye. The King Earth Vein Vortex in Chen Zong's body had once again shrunk and expanded. After stabilizing, it had strengthened quite a bit. His aura was even more magnificent and powerful, and he had reached the peak of the First Level of the Earth Spirit Realm. There were twenty-three Upper Rank Spirit Origin Pills and Upper Rank Earth Vein Pills left. The pills for this month had also been delivered.
Another half a month had passed, and there were still eighteen pills left. Chen Zong's cultivation had reached the limit of the First Level of the Earth Spirit Realm.
Not long after, there would be new medicinal pills sent over.
"My limit." Chen Zong couldn't help but smile.
However, his limit was higher than the limits of the other Earth Spirit Realm practitioners. Naturally, he needed to accumulate more strength.
He continued to consume Spirit Origin Pills and Earth Vein Pills, and continued to cultivate.
If it had been other pills, Chen Zong wouldn't have dared to consume them in such a manner. It would only accumulate large amounts of pill toxins in his body. Once there was a large amount of pill toxins, it would be even harder to expel. It would affect the purity of one's strength and further affect one's future cultivation speed. In serious cases, it would even affect one's foundation and cause it to become unstable.
There wouldn't be any pill toxins left behind, and there wouldn't be any side effects. This was why Spirit Origin Pills and Earth Vein Pills were so precious.
This time, Chen Zong had refined a total of six upper rank Spirit Origin Pills and six upper rank Earth Vein Pills. Only then did he raise his cultivation to the limit of the First Level of the Earth Spirit Realm, to the point where he couldn't go any further.
The King Earth Vein Vortex in his body had already doubled in size. As it spun, it released an extremely frightening aura that filled the outside of his body, seeming to repel everything.
"Next, I'll break through to the second level." Chen Zong thought to himself.
After stabilizing his cultivation, Chen Zong continued to cultivate. This time, he wanted to split the King Earth Vein Vortex into two.
Splitting the King Earth Vein Vortex wasn't an easy task. It required absolute faith and strength.
Whether it was faith or strength, Chen Zong didn't lack either, because it wasn't that difficult.
