Dao Companions Help Me Live Forever

Chapter 150: The Shackles of Spiritual Energy

Yu Xian has returned to his normal state, full of courage and bravery.

He has also been able to preliminarily use the dual cultivation method from the Red Peach Blossom Scripture, where yin and yang converge, refining essence and transforming it into a trickle of mana that flows into the dantian.

Dual cultivation is not just beneficial for him, even Yulan can benefit from it. However, because she has not practiced this technique yet, the benefits are not significant, but it is still equivalent to the speed of her usual cultivation.

After all, there is a difference of two small realms between her and Yu Xian.

In this way, cultivation is no longer harmful to the body, but instead becomes a beneficial physical and mental exercise before sleep.

At the same time, Yu Xian has made an important discovery.

Compared to when he comprehended the Yin Blood Demon Art, his cultivation points remained unchanged, with no changes whatsoever.

But when he practiced the Red Peach Blossom Scripture together with Yulan, he gained one more cultivation point than usual.

So in fact, he can improve his cultivation without relying on the cheat system!

It's just that in the mortal world, cultivation was not as effective as not cultivating.

Later, when he switched to practicing the Yin Blood Demon Art, he didn't want to harm innocent people and was worried that there might be traps in the technique, so he never practiced using living beings' essence and blood. As a result, his progress in this demonic art has been mediocre, relying solely on his own cultivation to make progress.

But this time is different.

The Red Peach Blossom Scripture does not have the same strict requirements for aptitude as ordinary techniques, so he can clearly perceive the increase in his cultivation.

Originally, one cultivation session was worth four cultivation points, but now it is worth five cultivation points.

However, dual cultivation also requires taking one's own abilities into account.

Even with a normal day of cultivation, he can gain twenty cultivation points.

Twenty-five days of normal cultivation in a month would be five hundred cultivation points.

He is only lacking less than one hundred thousand cultivation points to reach the peak of the Foundation Building stage.

At his current cultivation speed, it would take about two hundred months, or roughly sixteen to seventeen years.

As Yulan successfully switches to this technique in the future, and as he deepens his understanding of this technique, his cultivation efficiency will undoubtedly increase.

In other words, he is very likely to break through to the Gold Core stage before he turns one hundred years old!

On this day, one month after Yu Xian officially started practicing the Red Peach Blossom Scripture.

In the bedroom.

As Yu Xian's cultivation reaches completion, a pink aura rises from him and Yulan. The surrounding spiritual energy seems to be attracted to it, swirling and merging around this pink aura.

Then, a massive amount of spiritual energy merges into the pink aura, transforming into pure mana.

The mana then splits into two, with the larger portion entering Yu Xian's body, and the smaller portion entering Yulan's body.

The mana in both of them begins to boil simultaneously.

After a while, they gradually calm down.

Crack, crack...

The sound of things breaking can be heard.

Yu Xian opens his eyes, showing a helpless expression.

Yulan, who knows when she woke up, looks at the broken pieces of spiritual stones on the ground with a distressed expression.

"Husband, are we spending too much spiritual stones on our cultivation?"

"It's only been three days, and we have to replace the spiritual stones in the Spirit Gathering Array. It costs 365 spiritual stones each time. In the past, it would take me seven to eight years to replace them."

However, there is another important issue when practicing this high-level technique, which is the high demand for spiritual energy in the environment.

It's like a space rocket that can't burn coal and requires specialized aerospace fuel.

Unless it is a blood cultivation technique like the Taiyin Blood Demon Art, as long as there is enough essence of blood and flesh, the demand for spiritual energy will be slightly lower.

Advanced techniques are indeed powerful, but the basic configuration is also high.

Previously, during Yu Lan's Qi Refining stage cultivation, she was situated on a first-grade superior spiritual vein on the Zhao family's land, and there was also a dedicated gathering spirit pearl to gather spiritual energy, so there was no need to worry about spiritual energy issues.

It would even take seven or eight years of cultivation to exhaust the energy of the gathering spirit array.

But with both of them breaking through the Foundation Building realm.

Now there is a demand for advanced techniques, even if Yu Xian has set up a gathering spirit array, the demand for spiritual energy exceeds the limit of environmental supply.

In just three days, the spiritual stones on the gathering spirit array were depleted of energy.

The principle of the gathering spirit array is to gather thin spiritual energy from all directions, and then use the formation method to intercept this spiritual energy, creating a high spiritual energy environment.

The longer the time, the more spiritual energy is gathered.

The gathering spirit array set up by Yu Xian is at the second-grade level, while the surrounding spiritual energy level is only a first-grade spiritual vein, so it can create a second-grade spiritual vein level.

But the time is short, and the gathered spiritual energy is not enough, so when there is not enough spiritual energy in the formation, the spiritual stones in the formation will be used.

"It's still okay for now. It's a waste to leave the spiritual stones unused. Using them for our cultivation is just a different form of companionship.

And there will be a solution soon."

Yu Xian touched Yu Lan's head and gently comforted her emotions.

But in his heart, he thought.

"Now that Yu Lan has broken through the Foundation Building realm, the first-grade spiritual vein of the Zhao family is not enough.

The reason why those Foundation Building cultivators in the family stay in the early stage of Foundation Building for their entire lives is because the grade of the spiritual veins in their clan cannot keep up.

So for the sake of our cultivation, either we continue to use spiritual stones to replace spiritual energy like now.

I have about forty to fifty thousand spiritual stones in my hand, and the consumption of one hundred spiritual stones per day by the gathering spirit pearl can only last for more than a year, which is definitely not enough.

So the only choice left for me is to return to Shangyang City.

The second-grade superior spiritual vein in Shangyang City is enough to supply normal cultivation to the perfection of Foundation Building, but that is the real person's mansion in Shangyang Mountain.

Ordinary Foundation Building cultivators can only rent caves in Shangyang Mountain at a high price for cultivation.

For example, I encountered a Foundation Building cultivator from a gang before, relying on the support of several major gangs in the slums, and occasionally working as a mercenary to be able to stay in Shangyang Mountain.

But I'm different, I can freeload."

Chen Yi didn't hide it, the new real person of Shangyang City is her, and her brother Chen Xiao is the new city lord.

According to the principle of "what's yours is mine," Shangyang City is also his.

With this in mind, Yu Xian no longer felt anxious.

He just thought that he had been living in the Zhao family for more than ten years and had developed some emotional attachments.

If he just left like this, wouldn't his life circle for more than ten years be in vain?

Especially the master and disciple of the Moon True Sect, he had been cultivating them for a long time.

"Then let's leave together."

Yu Xian was a little guilty at first, but then he calmed down.

"It's the same whether I'm herding one sheep or a flock of sheep. What's wrong with my hobby?"

"I'm sure Xiaoyi can understand me."

As for why he didn't directly go to Xuan Yin Sect to cultivate through Chen Yi's relationship, he wasn't that foolish.

The heir that others had painstakingly cultivated, now being taken away by him, it was afraid that everyone would want to kill him.

And going to the so-called upper sect, there would definitely be many seniors and geniuses everywhere, and he would have to go through a lot of trouble. He didn't even have a backer, so why would he go looking for trouble?

It's better to stay in Shangyang City, a secluded cultivation world that even Gold Core cultivators look down upon. With Chen Yi, the new real person, covering him, he could try what it feels like to be a grand steward.

But this relationship always feels a bit strange.

Yu Xian suddenly remembered a martial arts novel he had read in the past.

The Eastern Cult Leader and the Chief Steward?

I'm not in a good state today, and the content is a bit lacking. I apologize.
