Everyone's Immortal Cultivation: Starting from a Junior Talisman Maker

Chapter 112 Five Elements Earth Spiritual Root, Cousin Establishes Foundation (Two Chapters Combined, Please Subscribe)
The so-called comprehension represents a person's comprehensive abilities in learning, analysis, insight, and understanding.

People with high comprehension tend to progress faster than others when learning.

Therefore, the importance of comprehension to a cultivator is self-evident.

In the world of cultivation, a cultivator's level of comprehension is directly proportional to their cultivation level.

Generally, the higher a person's cultivation level, the higher their comprehension.

Therefore, cultivators with higher cultivation levels tend to be more efficient in their studies.

Yang Feng took a Divine Essence Pill, raising his comprehension to a level comparable to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, increasing his cultivation efficiency several times over, although the effects of the pill would only last for a year.

However, if it could allow him to advance his three main cultivation techniques to the proficiency level more than a year earlier, it would be quite worthwhile.

After all, at his current age, the biggest thing he needs to achieve the Golden Core stage in the future is time.

Especially compared to those who possess Earth-grade, or even Heaven-grade, or top-tier True Cores, or the descendants of Nascent Soul families, he is currently far behind them in every aspect.

Therefore, if Yang Feng wants to surpass them and achieve the Golden Core stage, he must seize every opportunity to accelerate his cultivation in the coming decades in order to catch up with them.

As for giving up?

Or perhaps we could lower the standards...

The future goal is to achieve true enlightenment.

Although Yang Feng had also had such thoughts, he thought that if he only achieved the True Core stage in the future, and thus failed to reach the Nascent Soul stage in this lifetime, he would only live to be five or six hundred years old...

But he was somewhat unwilling to give up.

After all, he had finally been given a second chance at life and possessed a system. In the future, as long as he worked hard to gain experience, he had a chance to become an immortal and an ancestor.

He was unwilling to sacrifice his promising future of becoming an immortal or even living forever for a moment's pleasure.

Of course, the benefits Yang Feng gained from taking this Divine Essence Pill and raising his comprehension to a level comparable to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator were far more than just this.

At the same time, in the following year, the efficiency of gaining experience points, whether practicing spells or learning talisman-making techniques, also increased several times over.

Seeing that his comprehension had improved and his cultivation efficiency in all aspects had increased several times over, Yang Feng wished he could make one day last two.

The only drawback is that the effects of this second-tier top-grade Divine Essence Pill are relatively expensive, and its effects only last for one year.

After all, this one pill costs nearly 30 million spirit coins and only lasts for one year. This is not something that an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator can afford.

Fortunately, Yang Feng was able to gain valuable resources from the system by gaining experience, thus improving himself.

Furthermore, even if he acquires some valuable resources that he can't use himself, he can still launder them and sell them to the Ministry of Resources of Xia through various means.

Otherwise, if he only had a simple experience-based system, and wanted to earn money by gaining experience, and then exchange it with the Xia Kingdom's resource department for the precious resources he needed to improve himself, he would have to work like a slave for countless years.

After all, precious resources that can enhance one's abilities in a certain area are often overpriced due to their scarcity.

Especially for some higher-end strategic materials, such as breakthrough pills, high-level magic artifacts and talismans, and Core Formation spiritual items, the prices are ridiculously high, and if you don't have the right to buy them, you don't even have the qualification to do so.

As for the second-tier top-grade Xuanmu Pill that Yang Feng spent more than 20 million spirit coins to buy, it increased Yang Feng's wood spirit root attribute by six points.

On the surface, it doesn't seem to significantly improve Yang Feng's cultivation speed.

However, the improvement of spiritual root aptitude can not only accelerate the cultivator's cultivation speed.

Its greatest function is to reduce the difficulty for cultivators to break through the bottleneck of higher realms to a certain extent.

Many cultivators, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, encounter a bottleneck. The worse their spiritual root aptitude, the more difficult it is to break through the bottleneck.

To use a more vivid analogy, spiritual talent is like a stream of water. If the stream is small, the impact when it hits a bottleneck is small, making it very difficult to break through the bottleneck.

If you have high spiritual root aptitude, you will be able to absorb and transform spiritual energy quickly.

When you are breaking through a bottleneck, the greater the impact force generated by the absorption and transformation of spiritual energy, the easier it will be to break through your own realm bottleneck.

This is why people with low spiritual root aptitude can get stuck for years, decades, or even a lifetime once they encounter a bottleneck.

The reason why people with high spiritual root aptitude, such as cultivators with earth-grade spiritual roots or even heaven-grade spiritual roots, do not encounter too much resistance in the early stages of cultivation, such as breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm or even the Core Formation Realm.

As for cultivators like Yang Feng, who cultivate the Five Elements Technique and have raised their Five Elements spiritual roots to the middle grade level.

When he attempts to break through the bottlenecks of the mid-stage or even late-stage Foundation Establishment realm, he will have an advantage over most cultivators with a single high-grade spiritual root.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry about being stuck at the mid-stage or even late-stage Foundation Establishment realm in his future cultivation journey, unable to break through for a long time.

As for breaking through to the Core Formation Realm, Yang Feng will face considerable resistance given his current Five Elements Spiritual Root aptitude.

It could even be said that, given his current spiritual root aptitude, even if he were to successfully form a core in the future, he would at most only be able to form a false core.

As for wanting to form a golden core...

According to Yang Feng's understanding, he probably needs to raise all five elements of his spiritual root aptitude to a level close to the Earth grade before he can even attempt to break through to the Golden Core realm.

And it is precisely for this reason...

Therefore, in addition to obtaining rare and precious materials from the system to enhance his spiritual root aptitude, Yang Feng also improved his five elements spiritual root aptitude.

They continued to spend exorbitant prices to purchase rare and precious materials from the Xia Kingdom's Ministry of Resources to enhance the quality of spiritual roots.

Of course, one of the main reasons he did this was to cover up the fact that he obtained rare and precious materials from the system to improve his spiritual root aptitude.

……

"You have carefully watched Professor Cai Lan's explanation of the key points of practicing Golden Light Thunder and have gained some insights. Golden Light Thunder (Second Stage) experience points +5..."

"..."

"You watched carefully as Guo Jinlin, a second-tier talisman master, explained the key points of drawing a second-tier low-grade talisman, which deepened your understanding of drawing a second-tier low-grade talisman. Talisman (second-tier low-grade) experience points +18, +12."

"..."

"You have successfully drawn a Tier 2 low-grade amulet. Amulet (Tier 2 low-grade) experience points +20."

"..."

After his comprehension improved, Yang Feng found that whether he was practicing the three main cultivation techniques every day, learning second-tier spells, or learning to draw second-tier low-grade talismans, his efficiency was extremely high.

As time went by, Yang Feng saw that the experience points required for his three main cultivation techniques, several spells, and talismans were getting closer and closer to the breakthrough level.

This also made him feel like he was on a high every day when he was cultivating, and he enjoyed it immensely.

……

"Ding dong!"

That morning, Yang Feng was meditating at home when he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

Yang Feng opened his eyes and used his divine sense to look outside. He discovered that the visitor was a dean of students from the Dao Academy. "Director Chen, what brings you here?"

"Please come in and sit down..."

Upon seeing this, Yang Feng immediately got up, went outside, and opened the array barrier surrounding his residence. He saw an old man with a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level and thinning hair standing outside. He quickly stepped aside and politely welcomed the man into the house.

"There's no need for you to sit..."

"Ms. Yang, what have you been busy with lately? I called you just now, but you didn't answer... I checked your attendance record for this month, and half of it is already over, and you haven't taught a single class yet..."

Chen Qingquan waved his hand, forcibly suppressing his anger, and said calmly.

Today, he checked the attendance sheet of the Taoist temple teachers and found that half of the month had already passed, and Yang Feng hadn't attended a single class yet.

If he hadn't heard from other teachers a few days ago that Yang Feng had entered the Tianlan Secret Realm and killed the second-tier poisonous scorpion from Wanxie Mountain, and that Yang Feng's cultivation had broken through to the second level of Foundation Establishment, he wouldn't have been so polite when he came to find Yang Feng today.

"Ah, I've been so busy cultivating lately that I didn't even notice how fast time has flown by. Half the month has already passed..."

"I'll send out a notice later, and I'll go teach the students this afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Yang Feng immediately understood the purpose of Chen Qingquan's visit and nodded in agreement.

Coincidentally, he had been practicing intensively at his residence for more than half a month during this period.

My body and mind have been constantly tense, and I haven't had a proper rest or relaxation. I even ate instead of taking fasting pills.

Moreover, he noticed that in the past few days, the experience points he gained from practicing magic and comprehending cultivation techniques had decreased.

It's time to slow down.

"Row……"

"You'd better be diligent for the next two weeks, or I'll have to keep nagging you."

Seeing that Yang Feng's attitude was acceptable, Chen Qingquan gave him another reminder before turning and leaving.

Although he learned from other teachers that Yang Feng had only been a Foundation Establishment cultivator for three short years, he had already raised his cultivation to the second level of Foundation Establishment, and his strength was not weak among early Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Many people believe that he has good talent and his cultivation speed is faster than most cultivators with high-grade spiritual roots. Perhaps he will be able to reach the late Foundation Establishment stage and become a professor-level figure in the future.

But he's getting on in years, and he probably won't need to rely on Yang Feng in the future. Besides, as the Dean of Studies at the Dao Academy, his own cultivation has reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, so he naturally has no need to curry favor with Yang Feng.

"Take care, Director Chen."

Seeing that Chen Qingquan was unwilling to go inside, Yang Feng reminded him to go to class and then turned and left.

After exchanging a few polite words, he closed the array around his residence and then sent a message to the class group he was in charge of, informing the students that class would be held at the spell hall at 2 p.m.

"Hello teacher!"

"..."

"Hey, Teacher Yang, what have you been up to lately? It feels like it's been a long time since I've seen you. Could it be that you've been adventuring in the Tianlan Secret Realm again?"

Around 1 p.m., on his way to class at the magic academy, Yang Feng encountered many students and even teachers who greeted him.

In particular, two of the teachers, who were not much older than Yang Feng, were very enthusiastic and familiar with him when they met him.

"No, I've been in seclusion at my residence cultivating recently."

Yang Feng responded politely to the warm greetings from the other teachers.

Since returning from the Tianlan Secret Realm, some people have spread the news that he killed the second-tier poisonous scorpion in the Tianlan Secret Realm to the ears of some teachers in the academy.

Yang Feng then noticed that some of the teachers at the Taoist academy became much more proactive and enthusiastic when they saw him.

Even some teachers who weren't very familiar with him would strike up a conversation with him when they bumped into him on the street or in the school cafeteria.

Some teachers even wanted to invite him to go to the secret realm to hunt second-tier monsters.

Yang Feng felt helpless in the face of these teachers' warm hospitality, but he couldn't very well ignore them, so he has been trying to stay at home as much as possible lately.

Before long, Yang Feng arrived at the spell hall and began teaching the students a first-tier spell.

"Teacher, are you free recently? I'd like to pay credits for a private lesson with you."

An hour later, as Yang Feng was about to leave after a class, a student asked him a question.

Since the news of Yang Feng killing the second-tier poisonous scorpion from Wanxie Mountain in the Tianlan Secret Realm spread among the students of their academy.

Some students, after learning about Yang Feng's experience in achieving Foundation Establishment, also admired him, especially after learning that Yang Feng raised his cultivation to the second level of Foundation Establishment in just three years.

Some of them thought that Yang Feng's future achievements would be considerable, so they wanted to get closer to him, thinking that they might be able to use this relationship when they entered society.

"I've been quite busy lately..."

"If you wish to have a teacher instruct you in magic, you can make an appointment with another teacher."

Upon hearing this, Yang Feng smiled and politely declined.

After finishing his class, Yang Feng returned to his residence and continued his cultivation.

……

Two weeks later, Yang Feng received a call from his cousin Liao Xianwei.

The other party plans to come to Tianlan Immortal City in a few days and asks Yang Feng to buy Foundation Establishment Pills for him.

Three years ago, after successfully establishing his foundation, Yang Feng returned home to visit his family.

His cousin Liao Xianwei came to his house to congratulate him, saying that he had raised his cultivation in the three aspects of law, body, and spirit to meet the conditions for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

They hoped to use Yang Feng's Foundation Establishment realm status and privileges to help him purchase a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Yang Feng agreed to his cousin's request.

However, because his cousin had only barely managed to raise his soul cultivation to the ninth level of the first rank, his cousin was worried that his soul was not strong enough and that he would easily fail when trying to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

In addition, his cousin was only forty-four years old at the time, so after some consideration, he decided to hone his skills for a few more years before attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

Afterwards, Yang Feng learned of his cousin's idea and agreed with it.

After all, attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage is no child's play.

Moreover, based on his experience, the deeper the accumulation, the greater the chance of successfully establishing a foundation.

So for the past few years, he has been reserving the spot for his cousin to buy Foundation Establishment Pills, so that he can help his cousin buy them when he is ready to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

Of course, his cousin still had to pay for the Foundation Building Pill himself.
