Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 125 Arrangements and the Undying Heavenly Silkworm

With a thought, Su You conjured a book invisible to the naked eye in his palm.

"Level 2 High-level!" A surge of joy welled up in Su You's heart.

The quality of the Book of Souls exceeded his expectations, and the level of its refinement surpassed his anticipated level.

After all, the materials he used were too luxurious.

Although no fifth-tier materials were used, various fourth-tier soul treasures were added, making it a near-perfect product.

Now that he had successfully crafted the Book of Souls, Su You felt he needed to return to Luoxia Island to let his twin clones use it.

……

Sunset Island.

Watching the cultivators coming and going, Su You felt a special sense of satisfaction.

Although this foundation is nothing after obtaining the Dream Butterfly Sect's inheritance, it is still a place where he has been rooted for half a century, and he has developed it from scratch.

Moreover, he will not give up this place for the time being.

For Su You, the Mingkong Islands were a good place, as there were no powerful forces there, which allowed him to lie low and develop in the early stages.

Most importantly, there are a sufficient number of mortals and cultivators here. With this foundation, as long as he cultivates them diligently, it should be easy for the area to develop.

After leaving behind the Book of Souls, Su You teleported back to the Dream Butterfly Mirror.

This time, he planned to try and see if the teleportation array could directly transport him from Sunset Island to the small world of Dream Butterfly Mirror.

The materials for setting up the grand array had been prepared long ago. Su You found a place with abundant spiritual energy and easily constructed the teleportation array.

"Activate!" Su You's mental energy descended, and the teleportation array was activated, but it did not connect to the teleportation array on Luoxia Island.

He had anticipated this situation.

Unlike setting up teleportation arrays within secret realms, the world within the Dream Butterfly Mirror is an independent microcosm.

Even though the entire Lesser Thousand Worlds has lost its original essence and shrunk a hundredfold, the barriers between worlds are not so simple that they can be reached through teleportation arrays.

Unless there is a connection between the Dream Butterfly Mirror and the Dream Butterfly Mirror, it is not possible to transmit in easily.

The secret realm itself is part of the world. Although it has always been on the edge of the world, it is always dependent on the world. The connection between the two is close, which greatly reduces the difficulty of teleportation between them.

After the test, Su You was not disappointed. The small world inside the Dream Butterfly Mirror would eventually connect with the outside world. Although he was not capable enough at the moment, he would always find a solution.

The simplest way is to refine the Dream Butterfly Mirror, so that the two can be used as a medium, but one can freely enter and exit.

In the following period, Su You went to Molten Fire State to purchase a batch of refining materials. Then he returned to the Dream Butterfly Sect to cultivate diligently and accelerate the absorption of the soul power within the Star Seal, striving to become a Level 2 Wizard as soon as possible.

On the other hand, it's about browsing the vast collection of books here.

Although he had spent more than a year studying the classics here, that was only a superficial understanding; he still had so much to learn.

As for the twin clones, Su You was not in a hurry to recruit more people.

The secret realm will reopen some time from now, so we'll have to wait until we conquer it before we can even think about recruiting.

Moreover, Su You's mental strength is growing rapidly. If he can break through to the second level of wizard in a short time, perhaps the plan to compete for the Mingkong Islands can be changed.

However, the training of disciples of the Dream Butterfly Sect could proceed first. He directly renamed the previously established Luoxia Sect to the Dream Butterfly Sect, and then had Chen Yuanzong spread the message among various rogue cultivators, asking them to go to various mortal islands to find mortals with spiritual roots.

The reward for finding and bringing back one is ten spirit stones. The higher their aptitude, the higher the reward. The reward for a mortal with a Heavenly Spirit Root is 100,000 spirit stones.

It can be said that as long as a mortal with a Heavenly Spiritual Root is found and successfully brought back, the cultivator can directly receive a reward of 100,000 spirit stones.

This generous reward is enough to drive any Qi Refining stage cultivator crazy.

The once relatively peaceful Mingkong Islands have become lively once again.

After all, the rewards offered by the Sunset Immortal City are quite generous.

Even if you only find and bring back a mortal with five spiritual roots, you can still get a reward of ten spirit stones, which is enough to make up for several months' income for a farming cultivator.

This group of mortals will be the foundation of Su You. Those with excellent aptitude can be nurtured and eventually join the Dream Butterfly Sect. Those with poor aptitude can be given bloodline potions, which may give them a chance to advance further.

Just as turmoil was brewing in the Mingkong Islands, Su You had already begun his seclusion.

He diligently practiced mental meditation every day, rapidly digesting and absorbing the soul power within the star seal, and continuously absorbing the knowledge within the library.

Of course, Su You wasn't just looking at the theory; he specifically bought a large quantity of spirit ore to practice his new weapon-refining system.

In the early stages of weapon crafting, only low-grade spirit ore is needed, and the arrangement of restrictions is also simpler, consisting entirely of low-grade restrictions.

The unorthodox restrictions do not require overly complex refining techniques and spells. He is currently using the most basic and commonly used Zhou Tian Restriction Technique within the Lingbao Sect.

After failing more than ten times, Su You finally managed to place a mediocre restriction on a magical artifact.

……

Days passed uneventfully, cultivation was always tedious, and life was mostly repetitive.

However, the results were also fruitful.

In seven years, Su You's weapon crafting skills have improved by leaps and bounds. Because of his previous weapon crafting skills, he has now returned to the second-tier level and can re-craft second-tier magic weapons.

In addition, his mental strength also improved by leaps and bounds, from the original seventh level of the Golden Core to the peak of the Golden Core.

This level of mental strength is the pinnacle of a first-level wizard. As long as a suitable bloodline creature is found for refinement, it is easy to break through to the second-level wizard level.

He also temporarily stopped cultivating because of this.

This is, after all, related to his second-tier talent, so finding bloodline creatures is extremely important.

Previously, his focus was limited to Qingzhou, and given his limited strength and resources, he only chose creatures with outstanding bloodlines.

However, he is now far superior to his previous strength and wealth, so this time he needs to find a more outstanding bloodline life form to fuse with.

Of course, most importantly, previously, due to limitations in his mental strength, he could only fuse with Foundation Establishment level creatures. But now, he can choose to fuse with Nascent Soul level creatures, allowing him to select even more powerful bloodline creatures. There are quite a few Nascent Soul level creatures to choose from, such as demonic beasts with the bloodline of the True Phoenix clan. Their supernatural abilities include Nirvana Rebirth, an extremely powerful life-saving ability.

Although Su You already has the twins of fate to protect him, it's never too little to have life-saving abilities; naturally, the more such abilities the better.

In addition, there are various powerful mythical beasts, all of which possess extremely powerful talents and can also be considered.

Now that he's on the verge of a breakthrough, Su You no longer needs to go into seclusion. He should focus on finding a suitable bloodline life form.

Before that, we need to acquire some spirit stones.

After all, whether it's buying or inquiring, it requires spending a lot of spirit stones, especially since he was inquiring about a fourth-tier life form.

After changing his appearance, Su You left Molten Continent via a teleportation array.

Although this place is very prosperous, he has already been exposed here before, so it's best not to linger there.

The only pity was that his merits in the Weapon Alliance, which he had accumulated over several years, still had more than half left. If he exchanged them for spirit stones, he could get over a million spirit stones.

……

Wanlingzhou, the Immortal City of Ten Thousand Beasts.

This is the largest beast-taming sect on the Anyun Continent. Here you can see all kinds of demonic beasts, and the cultivators who stay here all possess a skill in beast-taming.

Upon entering the Immortal City, Su You could sense the strong atmosphere of learning beast taming. Many cultivators rode on demonic beasts as they walked the streets.

One reason for this is that the largest beast-taming sect in the entire Anyun Continent, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, is located here, and another reason is due to geographical factors.

Due to its geographical location, Wanlingzhou is situated right on the edge of the endless wilderness.

The endless wilderness is a territory that humans have not conquered, where countless monsters live.

At the border of Wanling Prefecture stands a formidable pass, blocking the invasion of demonic beasts.

That place is a battlefield between humans and monsters, a brutal meat grinder, but also a place where opportunities coexist.

Every year, countless cultivators secretly enter the endless wilderness, bringing with them countless cultivation materials, including a large number of demon beast eggs. This is why everyone has a beast tamer.

He possesses very detailed information about demonic beasts and exotic creatures, thanks to the legacy of the Dream Butterfly Sect.

However, whether it can be found in the Yun'an World is uncertain. After all, the Dream Butterfly Sect is located in a Great Thousand World, while the Yun'an World is just an ordinary Middle Thousand World. The difference between the two is too great, so it is not certain that it can be found.

For example, there's the Thunder Prison Beast, which possesses the talent of lightning; the Life and Death Butterfly, which possesses the talent of life and death; and the Time Cicada, which possesses the talent of time.

However, these exotic beasts are very rare, especially the latter two. They are hard to find even in the Great Thousand World where the Dream Butterfly Sect is located, and they are extremely rare even in the surrounding realms, let alone in this Middle Thousand World.

There are also many other strange beasts, all of which are extremely powerful, whether in combat or in support, but they are all very precious and rare in the vast world.

Not to mention finding it in the Yun'an world.

Therefore, Su You still needs to find out the relevant information in order to search in a targeted manner.

With the Sect Leader's Star Ring in hand, he dared to venture into even the most dangerous places in the Endless Wilderness, or even the lair of those demonic beasts, and he could always return unscathed.

He went straight to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, a place he frequented. He had obtained information about the two types of demonic beasts he had melted from here.

A moment later, Su You left Tianji Pavilion with a pained expression.

"No wonder they're the most profitable organization; they sell just some intelligence for millions of spirit stones," Su You complained helplessly.

Several million spirit stones was a considerable sum for him.

He had previously brought half of the spirit liquid from the Wizard Tower, and sold it all along the way, making about 20 million spirit stones.

For him, the more spirit stones the better, and he would have many uses for them in the future.

Although he inherited the Dream Butterfly Sect's legacy, he certainly wouldn't sell anything from it, especially the various high-grade spiritual herbs in the Spirit Herb Garden, which were extremely valuable. Even the worst batch of spiritual herbs would be among the most expensive in this world.

Moreover, the greatest value of spiritual herbs lies in refining them into pills, which maximizes their value. Therefore, he decided to keep them for the time being.

Back in the rented courtyard, Su You began to carefully review the intelligence.

The intelligence we purchased this time was extremely detailed, including information on all the strange beasts that had ever appeared in the entire Yun'an world, as well as information on monsters of the fourth rank and above.

Otherwise, intelligence from the Endless Wilderness alone wouldn't be worth millions of spirit stones.

Now that he has sufficient ability, he will naturally seek out the most suitable candidate, so he will definitely search the entire world.

Of course, the Endless Wilderness is the place with the largest number of monsters and strange beasts, so the probability of them existing is also higher.

After observing various monsters and strange beasts one by one, Su You finally found a strange beast that suited him.

This mythical beast is called the Immortal Heavenly Silkworm. Its abilities are extremely powerful, and its ability to protect itself is no less than that of the Phoenix, as can be seen from its name.

Its innate ability is called the Heavenly Silkworm Life and Death Transformation. Each time it experiences a state between life and death, it can enhance its physical body. Therefore, theoretically, if it does not die, it can improve indefinitely.

In addition, its name contains the word "immortal," so it naturally has an extremely strong ability to protect itself. Every time the Immortal Silkworm dies, it will be resurrected, but at the cost of a reduction in its cultivation level.

When it is continuously killed until its cultivation is completely lost, it will turn into a cocoon. The cocoon has an incomparably powerful defensive ability, which is a hundred times that of its peak cultivation in life, and it can be randomly teleported.

Moreover, when it spins its cocoon, its people will sense it and rush over. The cocoon and its people have a special connection that cannot be blocked no matter how hard you try.

Therefore, even if one has the ability to capture the other, prevent it from escaping, and cannot immediately break through the cocoon's defenses, one cannot kill it. After all, it is impossible to take it away unless one's own power is stronger than that of the Heavenly Silkworm Clan.

The Heavenly Silkworm Clan is an incredibly powerful force throughout the entire An Yun Continent. Due to their reproductive ability, each member of the clan is extremely precious. Moreover, if they are lucky, they can easily cultivate to the fifth rank once they reach adulthood. Therefore, most members of the clan are at the fifth rank.

Generally speaking, neither demonic beasts nor humans would easily provoke the Heavenly Silkworm Clan.

Such a race can be described as an extremely difficult existence to deal with, and very difficult to kill, which is why they are known as the Undying Heavenly Silkworm in the outside world.

This talent is a perfect match for Su You. The Undying Heavenly Silkworm loses its cultivation level when it dies and is reborn, but he can revive without using the Undying Heavenly Silkworm's talent. Instead, he can revive again using the Twin Mark talent.

In this way, each life-or-death battle he experiences can improve his physical cultivation. Combined with the ability of the Twin Marks to continuously solidify his cultivation and the ability to resurrect, he can avoid the flaws in the Undying Heavenly Silkworm's talent.
